MAPPING THE MUSE VISIT 37 ARTISTS IN THEIR CREATIVE SPACES AT THE SAUGERTIES ARTISTS' STUDIO TOUR

Prue See, House with Reeds

T

he Saugerties Artists’ Studio Tour on Saturday and Sunday, August 12 and 13 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day will feature 37 artists this year, including four new participants and returning artists exploring new directions.

Visitors can meet painters who work with oils, watercolor, acrylics and encaustic paints; sculptors, printmakers, photographers, mixed-media, digital and collage artists, studio furniture artisans, wearable art and ceramic artists and view an outdoor exhibit of land art.

The event is free of charge and it’s self-guided; one has only to pick up a map from local businesses (or print one out online at the event website) and chart a course. No registration is required. Visitors to the studios have the opportunity to see works-in-progress as well as completed works, and some of the artists offer a hands-on experience.

Going “face-to-face” with the artists allows the visitor to ask questions, says tour organizer Barbara Bravo, which offers “a lot more insight than you get when you’re just viewing the work.” Tourgoers get to see where artists work and how they live, and most of the studios will offer works for sale during the tour, often at very affordable prices.

With so many studios available to choose from, how does one make the decision where to start? One option is to attend the free opening reception held the evening before the tour weekend, on Friday, August 11 at the Gallery at Opus 40 from 5 to 7 p.m. Most of the artists

participating in the tour will attend the reception, and each will have one work on display as a preview of what they do.

Participating artists this year include Isaac Abrams, painter; Tara Bach, abstract painter; Kristin Barton, painter; Ana Bergen, painter and photographer; Barbara Bravo, ceramic art and collage; Sharon Broit, painter; David Brown, sculptor; Michael Ciccone, sculptor; Vinny Curry, artisan bowmaker; Shelley Davis, mixed media; Richard Edelman, photographer; Ruth Edwy, abstract landscape painter; Josepha Gutelius, painter; Mikhail Horowitz, collage; Brian Josselyn, painter; Marsha Kaufman-Rubinstein, ceramic art; Kay Kenny, photographer; Barbara Tepper Levy, jewelry and drawings; Yvette Lewis, painter; Ulf Loven, painter; Brian Lynch, painter and printmaker; Iain Machell, drawings; Marjorie Magid, painter; Hugh Morris, painter; Chris Nealon, sculptor; Michael Nelson, photographer; Gus Pedersen, furniture and sculpture; Bill Reinhart, painter; Tad Richards, digital drawings; Jacquie Roland, painter and sculptor; Prue See, painter; Michael Sullivan Smith, environmental art; Viorica Stan, painter and mixed media; Raymond J. Steiner, painter; Marck Webster, pencil drawings; Alison WinfieldBurns, painter; and Carol Zaloom, linocuts.

Saugerties Artists’ Studio Tour, Saturday/Sunday, August 12/13, 10 a.m.-6 p.m., free, Town of Saugerties, www.saugertiesarttour.com; opening reception, Friday, August 11, 5-7 p.m., free, Gallery at Opus 40, 50 Fite Road, Saugerties; (845) 246-3400, www.opus40.org.

Walking Out screening this Saturday at Upstate Films in Woodstock

On Saturday, August 12 at 2 p.m., the Woodstock Film Festival will present a special screening of Walking Out, courtesy of IFC Films, at Upstate Films in Woodstock. The screening will be followed by a question-andanswer session with directors Alex Smith and Andrew Smith. The film was edited in Woodstock, where Alex also resides. Tickets cost $10 in advance and $15 at the door.

The film, starring Matt Bomer, is an adaptation of the American short story of the same title about a teenager’s journey to Montana to hunt with his estranged “offthe-grid� father. Father and son struggle to connect, until a brutal encounter in the heart of the wilderness changes everything. “I have followed the making of Walking Out since Alex and Andrew began shooting it during the harsh winter of Montana’s wilderness and through the editing process right here in Woodstock,� says Woodstock Film Festival executive director Meira Blaustein. “With exquisite cinematography and stellar acting, the result is quite amazing. I am thrilled that we can give Walking Out this special screening.�

It cannot be guaranteed that tickets will be available at the door. All advance ticketbuyers should arrive 15 minutes prior to the screening to guarantee seating.

“Artists on the Street� in New Paltz

H

istoric Huguenot Street in New Paltz will host the fifth annual “Artists on the Street� this Saturday, August 12 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The all-day en plein air event showcases the talents of nearly 20 Hudson Valley artists, including Kevin Cook, Daisy Deputhod, Carolyn Hutchings Edlund, Alan McKnight and Marlene Wiedenbaum.

The event offers the opportunity for the public to watch and engage with local artists as they work, creating paintings inspired by the landscape of the Huguenot Street National Historic Landmark District. Maps will be available denoting the location of each artist participating across the site.

Food will be available for purchase from Ei’s Fries and the Flying Food Truck, and the New Paltz Brewing Company (Pfälzerbräu) will be on-site, serving its fresh handcrafted German-style lagers starting at noon. The brewery’s Hefeweizen, Rauchbier Amber Lager and Grätzer beers have all won awards at the annual TAPŽ New York beer-tasting competition.

This year’s event has been expanded to celebrate a wider variety of arts and culture. Muralist Eugene Stetz, best-known in New Paltz for his mural on the corner of Main and South Chestnut Streets, will participate this year, creating a large work in spray paint. The 28-year-old self-taught painter has created some 70 large-scale murals all across the country, including a 30-foot mural at Rondout Valley High School, from which he graduated.

Local singer/songwriter Ciarra Fragale will perform indie/folk repertoire on the Deyo House lawn beginning at 1 p.m., followed by singer/songwriter Patrick Collins at 2:30 p.m.

At 4 p.m., visitors are invited to an artists’ reception on the Deyo House lawn, during which many of the participating artists will have their works available for sale. Wine and light hors d’oeuvres will be served, and classical musician Eric Roth will perform on a 19th-century guitar. The all-day event will also feature face-painting and an activities tent for children and families. The event is free and open to the public, rain or shine, sponsored by Woodland Pond at New Paltz.

CHECK IT OUT longest-standing Jewish dwelling in North America and was home to patriots, preservationists, artisans and social activists. This Sunday, August 13 at 1 p.m., the site will host a presentation by Dr. Amy LoewenhaarBlauweiss titled “The Work of William Auerbach-Levy: From Dard Hunter to Broadway.�

The program will highlight the world’s first books made by one man, The Etching of Figures (1915) and The Etching of Contemporary Life (1916). William Auerbach-Levy is one of the author/artists whose etchings are featured in the 1916 book, along with those of his friend and printer, artist Ernest Roth, whose work will also be discussed. Dard Hunter, who lived at the Gomez Mill House, made both books by hand at the site using his handbuilt papermaking mill.

The talk will touch upon both the progressive and reactionary roots of the Arts & Crafts movement and the melding of the applied and the fine arts, and will situate Auerbach-Levy in the social context of Greenwich Village’s Golden Age as an artists’ community, where he was a central figure. Auerbach-Levy would later achieve popularity not just as an etcher, but also as the seminal theater caricaturist of his generation and a member of the Algonquin Round Table. The talk will include artwork and memorabilia from the speaker’s personal collection.

Amy Loewenhaar-Blauweiss is director of the Terezin Publishing Project, editor of the first English-language edition of H. G. Adler’s Theresienstadt 19411945: The Face of a Coerced Community (Cambridge University Press, 2016) and author of the forthcoming Songs in the Wilderness: Music in the Holocaust and the Betrayal of ‘Bildung.’ Her articles have appeared in scholarly journals and nationally syndicated periodicals in the US and abroad. She is on the faculty at Bard College, where she curates programs for the Hannah Arendt Center for Politics and the Humanities.

The presentation is part of the “Sunday at Mill House� programs, which are always free to the public and followed by a complimentary tour of the property.

Light refreshments will be served. “The Work of William Auerbach-Levy: From Dard Hunter to Broadway� presentation, Sunday, August 13, 1 p.m., free, Gomez Mill House, 11 Mill House Road (off Route 9W), Marlboro; (845) 2363126, www.gomez.org.

Nature journaling at FDR site this Saturday The Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum in Hyde Park will be the location for a “Nature Journaling and Writing� workshop with River Wharton on Saturday, August 19 from 1 to 3:30 p.m. The class will be held in the Wallace Education and Visitor Center at the site.

The workshop is for adults and youth age 14 or older who like writing or have entertained the idea of writing about nature. Wharton will guide the group through reflective poetry and prose writings on nature and history that were written during FDR’s life. The group will also take a short nature walk. With the tools gathered from the beginning of the workshop, participants will have the opportunity to write on their own and if desired, share the work with the group.

Wharton is a writer and artist, recently relocated to the Hudson Valley from Denver, Colorado. His essays, stories and poetry have appeared in numerous publications across America and Canada.

Tic-tac-toe art in High Falls and Kingston When Kingston-based artist Lynn Herring traveled to Oaxaca, Mexico last year, she was struck by how much the culture there played out in the village square. It reminded her of witnessing a similar scene a decade earlier in Venice, where people live their lives very connected to their communities. “The village square is where people meet their friends and experience life,�

Herring says. “They dance, play chess or just sit and chat with each other. Their

Leaving the house can be a wild ride...

of things to do every week

lives seem slower and more connected.

In our city centers, we sit in coffee bars, often alone, staring at our phones or laptops. We don’t sit and chat with each other for any extended period of time.

And ironically, we think we are a more advanced civilization.�

The artist was inspired by her experiences to create a giant tic-tactoe game with sculptural Xes and Os in different colors and shapes, as well as a series of prints derived from the sculptural pieces. “I asked myself, ‘How can we bring people together to set aside their differences, to sit down and relate respectfully, playfully and kindly with each other?’ My idea was to develop a largescale installation of prints and sculptural pieces out of Xes and Os with a big tictac-toe game to help bring people together to play with each other. I believe that by creating a colorful and fun environment and asking people to play a simple game together without language, ideology or cultural barriers, with no elaborate rules or huge stakes to win, people will connect

in a positive, enjoyable and visceral way with each other.�

Herring will exhibit the sculpture and prints at her studio in Kingston on Saturday and Sunday, August 12 and 13 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., with an opening reception on Saturday from 5 to 7 p.m.

The exhibit moves the next weekend to the Wired Gallery in High Falls, open Saturday, August 19 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sunday, August 20 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., with an opening reception on Saturday from 5 to 7 p.m.

A selection of recent etchings and serigraph prints unrelated to the tic-tactoe concept will also be on view at both locations. The works are on the theme of our interconnectedness with each other, nature and the Earth. “XOX,� Saturday/Sunday, August 12/13, 11 a.m.-7 p.m., Lynn Herring’s studio, 5 Sterling Street #307, Kingston; Saturday/Sunday, August 19-20, 5-7 p.m., Wired Gallery, 11 Mohonk Rd., High Falls; (682) 564-5613, www.lynnherringartist.com, www.thewiredgallery.com.

Al Gore visits the city of Tacloban in the Philippines, where Typhoon Haiyan’s death toll climbed to 10,000, and listens to survivors’ harrowing ďŹ rsthand accounts in An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power. Most of the shooting of this documentary wrapped just before Election Day 2016. Donald Trump has since announced his intention to pull the US out of the Paris accords.

Refueling the movement An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power rekindles hope in dark environmental times

P

oor Al Gore. He works so hard at his mission to turn the tide of global warming – y’know, just saving the world ‘n’ stuff – but so many people love to make fun of him. He takes flak from the left for being too centrist (“neoliberal� being the currently popular epithet) or for not focusing on some particular subset of environmental activism strategies (one EcoNews reviewer claimed to be “seething� over the “disgraceful� fact that Gore, a vegan, failed to stump for veganism specifically in his new film); from

the center for his prosaic technocrat style of presentation or for the “hypocritical� fact that his work requires him to travel by jet frequently; and from the right for his terrifying insistence that we had all better change our energy-consumption habits if we want our grandchildren to inherit a livable planet. Yes, folks, when Obama knocks on your front door to take away all your guns, Big Al is going to be right behind him demanding that you hand over the keys to your gas-guzzler (if your sarcasm detector is turned off, please hit Reset now). One cannot even mention climate change on social media without being deluged with memes depicting Al Gore claiming to have “invented the Internet� (see www.snopes. com/quotes/internet.asp if you’re curious to know what he actually did say).

So it should come as no surprise that Fox News is already proclaiming that An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power, the update to An Inconvenient Truth, “bombs at the box office� because it raked less than $1 million in its opening week – in a grand total of four theaters. “Friday to Sunday, the feature grossed an estimated $130K, giving it a $32,500 per theater average,

one of the highest for a non-fiction title of the year,� reports the movie trade magazine Deadline Hollywood.

An Inconvenient Truth also opened on only four screens in 2006, and went on to become the tenth-highestgrossing American documentary feature and win a couple of Oscars.

Not bad for what was essentially the filmed version of a Keynote “slideshow� that Gore was presenting at town hall mee tings around the world.

It seems unlikely that An Inconvenient Sequel will prove quite the groundbreaking hit that its predecessor was, although it’s slightly jazzier as a piece of cinemacraft. While there are still frequent callbacks to Gore

doing his environmental dog-and-pony show on little stages, providing a sort of personality-based throughline, the sequel spends less time on charts and graphs and more on spectacular cinematography of rapidly melting glaciers in Greenland and Iceland and shocking newsreel footage of killer storms such as 2013’s Typhoon Haiyan. G ore visits the city of Tacloban in the Philippines, where Haiyan’s death toll climbed to 10,000, and listens to survivors’ harrowing f i r s t h a n d accounts. It’s powerful evidence of how climate change is already having an impact on humans, fact-checked with just a brief visit to a map showing the storm’s path over ocean waters whose temperatures were spiking at the time.

has a genius for motivating his audiences while conveying just enough hard data to support his case for change without making lay people’s eyes glaze over. An Inconvenient Sequel also gives us an indepth look at his process as a diplomat and a dealmaker, tagging along as he plays a substantial role in breaking the stalemate at the Paris Climate Agreement in late 2015. Unexpected drama arises as the heads of state gathering for the conference are sequestered in response to the terrorist attacks that broke out, killing 130 Parisians. Then the talks themselves seem doomed by India’s unwillingness to forgo the 150 years’ worth of coal-fired development that Western countries have already enjoyed – until Gore whips out his cellphone and starts nudging highly placed people he knows at the World Bank and the SolarCity Corporation. India gets some useful proprietary information on cutting-edge solar-cell technology, the Third World in general gets lower interest rates for alternative energy development and an agreement – not as strong as Gore might wish, but a step forward – gets signed. Even if you’re not at all interested in environmental issues, it’s an illuminating crash course in how international politics gets done – not to mention food for thought on the question of term limits and the potential usefulness of a leader’s long experience moving in powerful circles.

The big irony in the making of this film – directed by Bonni Cohen and Jon Shenk, although An Inconvenient Truth director Davis Guggenheim stayed on as executive producer –is that most of the shooting wrapped just before Election Day 2016.

Donald Trump has since announced his intention to pull the US out of the Paris accords, appointed non-scientists, anti-scientists and fossil-fuel industry lobbyists to cabinet and agency-head positions, routinely dismisses concerns about climate change and advocates getting the US back into burning more coal. Onscreen, Al Gore acknowledges the many setbacks that his climate change education campaign has faced over the years, but he won’t give up, and he won’t let us walk out of the cinema bummed out.

The movie peppers its lows with highs about how enthusiastically many countries have taken to solar and wind development, and the economic benefits thereof. Gore even takes us to visit the mayor of Georgetown, Texas – “the reddest town in the reddest country in the reddest state in America” – who describes himself as a conservative Republican, but calls it “common sense” that his community now uses 100 percent renewable energy. The movie sends viewers off with a message of hope and recommitment, buoyed by OneRepublic’s stirring, gospel-tinged

anthem “Truth to Power.” Al Gore, it seems, remains determined not to preach

Ivories’ tower “Chopin & His World” to be explored at Bard Music Fest

If you associate Chopin with the more florid, expressive excesses of Romanticism, think again.

I

f Bard College is not the birthplace of interdisciplinary study, it is at the very least one of the idea’s most enduring and serious laboratories. Bard was among the first schools to offer student-designed, faculty-guided programs of study that traversed the philosophical (and brick-and-mortar) boundaries between the traditional departments and divisions. Bard was among the first colleges institutionally to recognize the primacy of writing and critical thinking across the disciplines, the common glue of the entire academic enterprise and not a beleaguered subdivision of the English Department; its world-famous Institute for Thinking and Writing continues to headline in that arena. Bard handles interdisciplinary studies with the business-as-usual assurance and cool of the old hand. It has been a very long time since the college has had to make a case for it; Bard is the brand itself.

Interdisciplinary learning is sometimes accused of fluffery: the eager forfeiting of the depth, rigor and granular focus enabled and encouraged by the intentionally narrowed purview of the disciplines. In the old days, you could get your PhD in the inchoate themes of gender fluidity implied by freshwater imagery in Herrick’s juvenilia, if there were any.

Three years in that hole! Interdisciplinary programs, on the other hand, might have seemed principally concerned with one broad subject: interdisciplinary programs.

It could sometimes be said that they were all revolutionary meta-critique and no proven practical prescription. We flailed and gurgled a lot once we started thinking outside the fancy old boxes. The boxes – and volitional confinement in general – have their purposes, it turns out.

Here again, Bard stands out, alone at the top. It seems to have been Bard’s purpose from the outset to ensure that its alternative learning programs be executed to the highest professional standards – a step up in seriousness from the old model, not a relief from it, and anything but a soft landing place for wealthy Dartmouth flunk-outs. Perhaps the founders of Bard’s daring and experimental programs realized that, like the nonviolent resistors of Gandhi and MLK, they needed to be impeccable and better than their critics.

Rigor: It’s a Bard thing. Just look at how they party there! The Bard Summer

Fryderyk Chopin is practically synonymous with the blossoming of the piano as the primary axe of Romanticism. His concert-hall performances numbered fewer than 50, but he was a superstar of salon culture, playing his exquisite miniatures in the smallest venues. Pictured above is a watercolor portrait of Chopin was painted by Maria Wodzinska.

Paris without ever (it has been suggested) fully learning to speak the French language.

The vast majority of Chopin’s works are for solo piano. There are a few piano concerti, a sampling of chamber works and a handful of songs, notable mostly as the exceptions to the rule. Chopin often wrote in dance forms, with a strong Polish nationalist bent: the waltz, the Polonaise, the mazurka. He was a virtuoso and his works can be dazzlingly grueling for performers. Many of his most beloved pieces, however, are his most reflective and ambient: the extraordinary nocturnes, some of the saddest waltzes you’ve ever heard (Leon, I have a really folksy and dumbed-down electric guitar adaptation of Waltz no.7 in C# minor that you might want to hear. It might play well in the Spiegeltent! Google it!) and outliers like Prelude no. 15, the “Raindrop Prelude,” a piece composed during Chopin’s brief and difficult romance with the female novelist George Sand and one that, to my ears at

In context, Chopin’s life and work are rife with extramusical meaning.

Maxi Priest this Friday at Bearsville Theater

M

axi Priest was the first reggae artist to have a number-one hit worldwide, including the US Billboard charts: 1990’s hit “Close to You.” The British-born reggae star has released no fewer than 13 records in his career, including 2014’s well-regarded Easy to Love.

Upstate Reggae and the Bearsville Theater continue to show a remarkable knack for roping outsize names in the reggae world, and the great Maxi Priest performs there on Friday, August 11 at 9 p.m. Max Glazer (Federation Sound) and Lady Moon and the Eclipse open. Ticket prices range from $40 to $65. For tickets and additional information, visit www. thebearsvilletheater.com. The Bearsville Theater is located at 291 Tinker Street in Woodstock.

least, anticipated New Age music and academic Minimalism by about 130 years.

If you associate Chopin with the more florid, expressive excesses of Romanticism, think again. That perception has more to do with the way he has been performed historically: showy, with all kinds of license taken with time, expression and phrase, all of which Chopin ardently opposed in his own lifetime. His music has more than its fair share of virtuosic squiggle, but when you learn to really hear into it – like when you use digital vari-speed to slow down the solos of Charlie Parker – you’ll be floored by how much real music lives in those squiggles. His sense of melody was ultra-high-resolution. Chopin heard all the notes between the notes. His melodies handled like Maseratis. (Wait…

are Maseratis known for their handling?

Help me out here.)

Bard will take the man and his work and illuminate it from every angle: predecessors and followers, Polish musical history (August 12), pianistic and harmonic innovation (August 13 and 18), the burden of virtuosity (August 13), the aesthetics of miniatures (August 17), French salon culture (August 19) and much more. And yet, when it comes to explaining the otherworldly beauty, complexity and alien delicacy of Chopin’s music, even Bard willingly waves the white flag. There are places academic inquiry cannot go and experiences it cannot account for.

Bard can’t explain it the beauty of Chopin; but it can languish, bathe and

drown in it in a ten-day immersion with extraordinary players in extraordinary venues. And when you have had a few boutique microbrews in the Spiegeltent (and they may have caught you off guard with their ABV of seven percent or higher – not your fault; It can happen to anybody), and the music of Chopin dances with the multicolored lights of the colorful and surreal environment of the traveling Weimar-era venue that parks on Bard’s campus every summer, you will realize that this whole thing really is a party after all, of a rare and high kind.

The “back room” at BSP in Kingston is something of an attraction in itself, regardless of who might be playing in it. A short hallway and a padlocked double door away from the 200-capacity front-room club, the back room is a huge, long-abandoned and gradually restored theater that could probably hold 1,500 people if the club wanted to go that way and compete with Bardavon and UPAC. It is also where the traveling San Severia Spiegeltent has landed, like a spaceship from the past, seemingly with intent to settle down. Surreal, carnivalesque and spooky, San Severia is barely an echo of Bard’s more famous Spiegeltent in terms of size, style and overall build solidity, but it sure makes for a great and otherworldly bar for the marquee backroom shows.

BSP wisely locates the back-room stage in just about the middle of the huge space, limiting capacity to 700 or so, providing artists with a terrifyingly large and dark backstage area to worry about and greatly easing the burden on the sound system.

This gives BSP and its booking wing, Output Agency, not one but two welldefined booking levels at which to operate, with a next level in the bank if they ever want to invoke it. A staggering “get,” like the recently announced November performance by art-rock legends Père

Ubu, is front-room material. It’ll sell out, but by enough to warrant a back-room gambit. Brooklyn art-rock celebrities Grizzly Bear, on the other hand, are not only back-room material, but also material enough for two nights of it: August 15 and 16, to be precise.

Another wide-appeal ambassador of Brooklyn millennial (sm)art-rock, the National just situated some release shows at the relatively intimate upstate setting of Basilica Hudson (intimate only by comparison to the rooms they might have chosen for such an important occasion), and Grizzly Bear seems to be thinking along the same lines. Painted Ruins, the band’s well-considered follow-up to 2012’s Shields, comes out on August 18. Shields was a big deal, sniffing an echelon of Billboard where guitar bands – especially arty guitar bands from the coasts – are almost complete strangers.

Grizzly Bear was briefly huge and then just very big. While borough-mates like Dirty Projectors and St. Vincent might have been more strenuously musical and challenging, perfecting an aesthetic of intentional awkwardness (DP) and musical-theater-grade melodic chops shattered with a fine, surgical violence (St. V), it is not hard to understand why Grizzly Bear and the National enjoyed a wider acceptance: softer corners and easier angles of entry for kids who wanted something cool, but not that cool. The National have always sounded to me like Coldplay fronted by a huskier Gertrude Stein, and GB like courteous and caring bedroom experimentalists whose experiments never quite efface a shy sweetness.

Rocktopia mashes rock with classical music this Saturday at Bethel Woods

F

rom the podium and in his capacity as artistic director, longtime Hudson Valley Philharmonic (HVP) conductor Randall Craig Fleisher has been a highly visible bridge-builder between the Big Show wing of classical music and the world of pop – especially rock – music. Maestro Fleisher has “orchestrated� some curious mashups in his tenure, the most unlikely being a kind of guitar concerto pairing Fleisher’s HVP with the late Velvet Underground lead guitarist Sterling Morrison.

It thus comes as no surprise that Fleisher is a key player in Rocktopia, which is coming to the Bethel Center for the Arts on Saturday, August 12 at 8 p.m. A collaboration between the HVP and Trans-Siberian Orchestra vocalist Rob Evan, Rocktopia presents one-of-a-kind musical arrangements featuring the works of classical composers, rock bands and artists including Queen, Mozart, Journey, Handel, U2, Tchaikovsky, Heart, Beethoven, Styx, Foreigner, Rachmaninoff, Pink Floyd, Copland, the Who and more.

Evans oversees the many vocalists required to pull this off, while Maestro Fleisher whips the HVP into a frenzy; and it all goes down on the site of the original 1969 Woodstock concert. Ticket prices for this Pavilion-only show range from $53 to $105.50. For tickets and additional information, visit www.bethelwoodscenter.org/events.

“Fanfare for the Uncommon Woman� is the theme of the eighth edition of the Catskill High Peaks Festival, hosted by the Carey Institute for Global Good, August 6 through 17. A joint presentation of the Carey Institute for Global Good and Close Encounters with Music, the Berkshire-based chamber music organization, High Peaks this year features composers who revolutionized the place of women in the arts as it celebrates the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage in New York State.

Most of the High Peaks events take place in the Albany region on the grounds of the Carey Institute, but the High Peaks Festival Chamber Orchestra performs a concert at Basilica Hudson on Friday, August 11 at 8 p.m. Featured composers include Clara Schumann, Fannie Mendelssohn, Rebecca Clarke and Ethel Smyth. Ticket prices begin at $10.

For more information, visit http:// basilicahudson.org. Basilica Hudson is located at 110 South Front Street in Hudson.

The time has come for the pageantry and real artistic substance of the Wassaic Project’s August Festival: two days of dance and film, culminating with live music at the Lantern on the night of Saturday, August 12. Dance programming kicks off on Friday, August 11 at 6:30 p.m. with a multitroupe performance featuring Davalois Fearon Dance, the Movement of the People Dance Company and Branfman & Strimpel/BS Movement. On Saturday, August 12, dance programs in and around the Wassaic Project’s Maxon Mills repurposed grain silo begin at 1 and run through 5 p.m.

The film component of the August Festival includes two programs of collected short films on Friday, “Weird and Wonderful� (8 p.m.) and “Strange

August 10, 2017 and Beautiful” (9:30 p.m.). Both showings include question-and-answer sessions with filmmakers and program curators.

The two collections of shorts are shown again on Saturday at 4:30 and 6:30 p.m.

At 8 p.m. on Saturday, the Cinefamily of Los Angeles presents Star Wars Mixtape, a found-footage video montage of tributes, ripoffs, cross-promotions gone wrong and more than 40 years’ worth of Star Warsrelated video artifacts. At 10 p.m., BKBX presents The Whole Shebang, a short film collaboration between Broken Box Mime Theatre and filmmaker Michael Lukk Litwak. It tells the “Story of the Universe” completely through mime, starting with the Big Bang and going all the way up to right now.

The Wassaic Project is located at 37 Furnace Band Road in Wassaic.

Triple release party in Saugerties A record-release show is always a special event. The bands are extra-prepared, and if their peeps only make one date in a year, this is the one. So how about a triple release party? That’s what the Saugerties-based Nightcap Entertainment has cooked up for Saturday, August 12 at the Kiersted Dutch Barn, located at 119 Main Street in Saugerties.

The lineup is heavy on Woodstock-area royalty.

Finally, Nightcap co-founder Ian Flannigan celebrates his new recording. Music runs from 6:30 to 10 p.m. Tickets cost $10.

Polina Kulikova wins 2017 Jacob Flier Piano Competition While SUNY-New Paltz’s vaunted PianoSummer does produce a rich sequence of concerts and master classes, it is primarily an educational program for world-class young piano talent, culminating in the recognition of the Jacob Flier Piano Competition winners. The First Prize winner will be rewarded with a debut recital in Carnegie Weill Recital Hall and will share a recital with the second- and thirdplace winners at next year’s 2018 PianoSummer at New Paltz Jacob Flier Piano Competition Gala.

This year’s winners are Polina Kulikova, 25, Russia (First Prize); Mackenzie Melemed, 23, US (Second Prize); Hao Tian, 15, China (Third Prize). The Flier Piano Competition was established to honor the distinguished Russian pianist Jacob Flier, who taught for many years at the Moscow Conservatory and who brought up generations of prominent musicians, including PianoSummer at New Paltz artistic director Vladimir Feltsman. The competition is open to students up to age 32.

In Search of Desdemona on Sunday in Round Top Inter-Cities Performing Arts presents In Search of Desdemona, a music drama by Carmela Altamura, based on Verdi’s opera Othello.

Lakou Mizik plays Marlboro’s Falcon on Wednesday The jazz, blues, roots and world Mecca that is the Falcon in Marlboro welcomes the Haitian musical collective Lakou Mizik on Wednesday, August 16 at 8 p.m. A large band featuring legendary master vodou drummer Sanba Zao and young stars Steeve Valcourt and Jonas Attis, Lakou Mizik draws inspiration from the rhythms of vodou, the French café lilt of the accordion, the added element of the Rara horns. Described as scrappy, with socially driven lyrics and Motown swagger, Lakou Mizik is a genuine Haitian experience.

Local world-music band Rootbrew opens.

Per usual, there is no cover at the Falcon, but generous donation is strongly encouraged.

The Falcon is located at 1348 Route 9W in Marlboro. For more information, visit www. liveatthefalcon.com.

Down-to-Earth Music Festival The Down-to-Earth (DTE) Music Festival is cleverly titled. It is a somewhat-jam leaning four-day freakout in the woods, and as such, the title speaks to the organic values of the scene. However, in case you’ve been on walkabout and didn’t know, that scene has merged in a big way with the tech-enabled cutting edge of electro/ organic hybrids – trance, psych, acid and ambient, et cetera – for well over a decade now, and Down-to-Earth can also mean…you know, coming home to Ferndale in our spaceships. That aspect of the scene is amply represented in DTE’s overstuffed lineup, which features such headliners as Infected

Mushroom, Shpongle, Nosia, Liquid Ranger, Koan Sound and Alvin Risk.

In Europe, this lineup might draw upwards of half a million people. Let’s see what it does in Ferndale.

Down-to-Earth takes place between Friday, August 18 and Monday, August 21. The mysterious location and at least some of the pertinent information can be discovered, if you’re persistent, at http:// dtemusicfestival.com. Good luck with this.

Free BioBlitz in Hyde Park this weekend Participate in a BioBlitz at the Winnakee Land Trust’s 105-acre nature preserve in Hyde Park on Saturday and Sunday, August 19 and 20. Naturalists, nature-lovers, children and anyone interested in knowing more about local flora, fauna and biodiversity are invited to participate in the dynamic outdoor event.

“A BioBlitz is a focused period of biological surveying to record living species within a designated area during a concentrated amount of time,” explains John Mickelson, Winnakee land stewardship manager. “Winnakee has assembled some of the best local naturalists to lead bird walks and plant surveys for our first BioBlitz.”

Participants are asked to download the innovative iNaturalist app to their smartphones in advance of the weekend. The app allows users to locate, capture and share field information within the Preserve and upload it immediately to a cloud server.

On-site training will be provided to all event attendees.

Regional bird experts from the Waterman Bird Club will start each day with an early-morning bird walk, in advance of the morning and afternoon field surveys. Wildlife educators will present live wildlife over the midday break. On Saturday, Turtle’s Back, a turtle rehabilitation organization, will present an informative demonstration with live turtles; and on Sunday, the Ravensbeard Wildlife Center will showcase its live raptors, birds and other wildlife. Snacks and beverages will be provided, but participants are asked to bring their own lunch.

Data-collecting over the weekend will focus on common invasive plant species found across the Preserve, though the broader intention of the day is to bring together people and nature and to show how digital data tools can support our wilderness experience. For participants living within a commutable distance of the Nature Preserve, Winnakee is

Mawignack magic Kiki Smith solo exhibit opens on Saturday at Thomas Cole National Historic Site in Catskill

T

he life’s work of Germanborn artist Kiki Smith has been celebrated by critics and audiences and shown in prestigious exhibition venues around the world since the 1980s. Her haunting imagery – often evoking dreams, folklore, medieval manuscripts, natural history and anatomy textbook illustrations, but always with a contemporary twist – is rendered as fluidly in bronze sculpture as in lithography or jacquard tapestry.

Nowadays she’s headquartered part of the time in Catskill and drawing inspiration from the visions of the Hudson River School. “Since moving there, I have been enthralled by the Mawignack, the lowlands where the Catskill and Kaaterskill Creeks converge,” Smith reports.

A solo exhibition of site-specific work titled “From the Creek” opens on Saturday, August 12 at the Thomas Cole National Historic Site, with a reception from 5 to 7 p.m. It’s the second annual installment in the venue’s “Contemporary Art in Conversation with Cole” series. More than two dozen artworks will be mounted both inside the intimate spaces of Cole’s historic home and outside on the grounds.

“With Smith’s work, we are filling the inside of Cole’s home with, among other things, saplings, crystals and a wild kingdom of animals – deer, bats, birds – many of which can still be spotted roaming the Catskill terrain or inside a Cole painting. It was exciting to discover that Kiki has been making things that draw inspiration from the same places that propelled Cole,” says curator Kate Menconeri. “Her artworks have me thinking a lot about our interconnection with nature and the regenerative power it holds. Both artists share an interest in cycles, decay, rebirth and the fragility of the environment.”

“Kiki Smith: From the Creek” will be on view from August 12 through October 29.

The outdoor installation can be visited between dawn and dusk, free of charge.

The indoor installations can be viewed as part of a guided tour of the historic buildings offered Tuesday through Sunday, or during “explore at your own pace” hours on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, from 2 to 5 p.m.

The Thomas Cole National Historic Site is located at 218 Spring Street in Catskill.

Titled “58 Snake” after the circa-1880 Second Empire brick building’s street address, the show opens on Saturday, August 12 with an artists’ reception from 2 to 5 p.m.

The farmhouse is described as “magnificently tattered,” featuring remnants of hand-stenciled wallpaper, clawfoot tubs, sweeping banisters, handcarved wooden mantels, ten-foot ceilings and a many-windowed porch wrapped. At present it lacks electricity and running water, but if you’re more interested in vintage architecture than in the art to be presented therein, you still might want to check out this event.

Still, who wouldn’t want to see the artworks on view in this unconventional setting? Of the ten artists represented, several are local; all are highly respected; and there are some common thematic and stylistic elements in their oeuvres – depictions of flora and fauna, the use of

found natural materials or ambient light – that ought to pull this exhibition together nicely within its context of a conserved, undeveloped riverfront property. Andrew Cannon, Tasha Depp, Lauren Drescher, Kico Govantes, Valerie Hammond, Jared Handelsman, Laleh Khorramian, Portia Munson, Kiki Smith and Emma Thomas will all be participating. (You might want to schedule your visit to coincide with the opening of Smith’s one-woman show at the Thomas Cole National Historic Site, which runs from 5 to 7 p.m. that same Saturday).

The opening reception for “58 Snake” is a benefit for the Greene County Council on the Arts (GCCA). Admission costs $25 for the general public, $20 for current GCCA members. Reservations may be made at www.greenearts.org or by calling (518) 943-3400, and tickets will also be available at the door. “58 Snake Road” will reopen on Sunday, August 13 and the following Saturday and Sunday, August 19 and 20, from 12 noon to 5 p.m. Subsequent to the opening event, admission to the exhibit will be a $10 suggested donation. The exhibition venue is located at 58 Snake Road in Catskill.

They both worked for Philip Morris, in sales. “It was love at first…I don’t know how many sights,” she says with a smile.

About another love of her life, Harkins can be more accurate: The couple first saw the Historic Village Diner on a Friday more than 35 years ago. By Monday, they were its new owners. “That was love at first sight. I wasn’t even into culinary things at all; I’m self-taught,” she says. The wonder of her precipitous plunge into a business that she knew nothing about still colors her voice today.

They’d bought a diner that even then was a classic of its type: a Silk City Diner, known in its day as the Cadillac of diners.

Even if you’ve not visited the place at its current (but not original) site on North Broadway in Red Hook, you’ve seen the place.

Silk City Diners were prefabricated r o a d s i d e restaurants modeled after railroad club cars by an outfit in Paterson, New J e r s e y, their ubiquity masked by a sleek exterior cladding of stainless steel.

Roughly 1,500 of them were turned out by the company between 1926 and 1966.

The diner’s interior further emulates its railroad model, with tables in booths along the east and west walls, beneath a vaulted

ceiling. Much of the interior is originalissue, such as the tiled floor and blackand-turquoise wainscoting. The counter’s original Formica top bears the dark wear marks of hundreds of thousands of elbows bent over as many cups of coffee and servings of roadside cuisine as 66 years can contain.

The social importance of the roadside American diner was immortalized in 1982, in Barry Levinson’s nostalgic film Diner. But before then, the diner was the kind of place that Hollywood loved – the kind of place where you found Burt Lancaster slumped hopelessly over a cup of java in The Killers, the perfect place to hatch a murder plot in both movie versions of The Postman Always Rings Twice.

To visit the Historic Village Diner today is to step into a vanishing example of not only Hollywood-tinged midcentury roadside Americana, but also a vanishing way of life for the people who make the diner what it is today. Consider: How many other businesses do you know that have been around as long as this, or one that’s been operated by the same family for half its existence (the diner has had

Other employees have worked there for 18, 19 and 20 years. She has seen food fads come and go. The food they serve is pretty much what was in demand the day they bought the place – what Arleen calls “American comfort food.”

Arleen, who’s 63, and Sam, who’s a year older, tried retirement some years back.

She shrugs, rolls her eyes at the memory.

It’s not an easy life, doing things the way they used to be done. Arleen has had five back surgeries. “I’ve got a new knee, new hip, even new knuckles,” she says. “It’s all part of the game; that’s it, that’s how we do it.

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

The rotresistant grail In which our intrepid gardener embarks upon a Plumquest

I

took a cue from Michael Jackson today when pruning my black raspberry (a/k/a blackcap) plants. Not that I had to prune them today, or even this time of year; but I couldn’t stand looking at the tangled mass of thorny canes. And, more importantly, the tangled mass would make harvest – slated to begin in a couple of weeks or so – a bloody nightmare.

Most blackcaps bear only once a year, in early summer, so tidiness would be the main reason to prune conventional blackcaps now. Pruning would also let remaining canes bathe in more light and air, reducing the threat of diseases. My blackcap plants, though, are the two varieties – Niwot and Ohio’s Treasure – that bear twice a year; hence, my pruning now to make picking the soon-to-ripen second crop less intimidating.

All blackcaps have perennial roots and biennial canes. Typically, the canes just grow their first year, flower and fruit their second year, then die. Niwot and Ohio’s Treasure differ in bearing on both one-year-old canes and new canes. I picked the early-summer crop from canes that grew last year. And now my mouth is watering as I look forward to the late-summer crop, which will be borne on canes that just started growing this season.

Pruning is straightforward. I started by lopping right to ground-level all the canes that bore the early-summer crop; they’re dying anyway. Step Two is reducing the number of new canes, selectively keeping the fattest and healthiest-looking ones, and lopping all others to ground-level. Even then, I reduce their number to the best six of them. That’s it. Easy, as long as the thorns are avoided.

My blackcaps are in a row, three feet apart. An iron pipe sunk into the ground next to each plant provides support for each plant’s clump of stems. With pruning finished, I tied a piece of rope to the pipe and then around the clump of stems, a gloved hand cozying the thorny stems into position while my ungloved hand tied the rope, à la Michael Jackson.

I wish that pruning were all that my plum trees needed. With this being such a good year for fruits generally, I was very hopeful for a good crop. And they looked fine up until a week ago, when the fruit started ripening – and rotting.

Brown rot is the culprit, mostly the handiwork of the fungus Monolinia fruticola.

Characteristic powdery gray masses of spores form on the surfaces of rotting fruits, which eventually dry to become “mummies.” Brown rot is not new to me; I’ve experienced it on peaches, nectarines and plums in the past. It also attacks apricots, cherries and other “stone fruits” (Prunus genus). Typically, a plant bears well for a couple of years while the fungi are building up, and then full-fledged annual attacks begin.

The usual recommendation to hold the fungus at bay is, first, to remove sources of inoculum by cleaning up all infected fruit in summer and mummies in winter, and then pruning away dead, infected twigs. That’s quite a job on a big plum tree.

I sprayed my trees with sulfur many times this past spring. Sulfur is an organically

The Green Gage (also known as Reine Claude Verte) is resistant to brown rot.

approved fungicide, used by gardeners and farmers for thousands of years, that is effective against brown rot – but only for a few days. Hence my repeated sprays, evidently not repeated enough.

The easiest approach would be for me to grow brown-rot-resistant varieties.

So now I am embarking on a plumquest: my search for plums that taste good and are resistant to brown rot. Resistant genes must lurk somewhere – actually, right in my yard: on the wild plums. They hardly ever show fuzzy grayness; they also don’t taste very good.

I now remember a pertinent page that I photocopied many years ago. Shuffling through piles of papers on my desk, I come across the page, from a scientific-looking paper, titled “Range of Known Genetic Traits in Plum Cultivars.” That’s a start, and the list on the page includes one of my favorite plums, the Green Gage (also known as Reine Claude Verte), as resistant. Shiro, which I grow with some success, is only listed as “tolerant.”

My next quest-step is on the Web, bringing me to a publication titled “The Cultivated Native Plums and Cherries,” authored by Liberty Hyde Bailey in 1892. I immediately ordered a reprint to make it easier to sort through the many varieties and their gustatory and pest potentials.

Once suitable varieties are identified, the next quest-step is to locate trees or, more likely, stems for grafting, to bring here to the farmden. I will report on my plumquest as events unfold.

Mandala workshop series in Catskill The Maurice D. Hinchey Catskill Interpretive Center (CIC) is holding several public art classes this summer to highlight the sculpture park on-site. Artist Susan Togut will teach workshops on creating mandalas and hand-painted rocks. The finished products will be incorporated into her public art sculpture, Wisdom Trees: Embracing the Cycles of Life, located at the CIC along Route 28.

Mandala workshops will be held for two different age groups. The youth workshop for those ages 12 to 18 will be held on Fridays, August 11, 18 and 25 from 10 a.m. to noon. Adult workshops will be held in a six-week session from Friday, August 11 through Friday, September 15 from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. Participants in both workshops will create mandalas for pathways that surround Togut’s sculpture at the CIC. The adult class will create twosided mandalas while the youth will create one-sided mandalas. Participants will also have the opportunity to creatively paint rocks that will be used along the pathways.

Mandala, the ancient Sanskrit word for circle, represents wholeness. Mandalas are sacred circles used over the centuries by cultures around the globe as symbols of unity and wellness. They are often used for spiritual transformation, self-expression and personal or communal growth and healing. The sacred center emanates outward towards the periphery, uniting the inner with the outer, the individual with his or her community.

Diverse and divergent thinkers are welcome. YET does not require its members to have previous drama experience. YET Teens have traveled to New York City’s Off-Broadway theaters to perform, while younger YET kids are supported to collaborate, find new friends and think outside the box, using different forms of expression as part of their theatermaking, including original video and recorded music.

YET members have performed at the Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts at Bard College, the Labyrinth Theater’s WestBeth Theater and New York Stage and Film’s Powerhouse Theater Festival at Vassar College, among others, and traveled to Washington, DC to work with the Ford’s Theatre youth troupe to do a public flashmob/improvisation.

The Youth Ensemble Theater is located on the campus of the High Meadow School at 3643 Main Street in Stone Ridge. More info is available at www. youthensembletheater.com.

Native American documentary and discussion in Rhinebeck Upstate Films in Rhinebeck will present The Good Mind, a film by Gwendolen Cates, on Sunday, August 13 at 1 p.m. The filmmaker will be in attendance to conduct a discussion after the screening. A drum group will perform songs and a blessing before the screening.

The event is held in partnership with Upstate Women in Film and Television.

The documentary focuses on Native American sovereignty and water protection issues in New York State, as members of the Onondaga Nation fight for stewardship of their ancestral lands and waters.

The Onondaga Nation (Central Fire of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy) never accepted US citizenship, has its own passport and still maintains a traditional government led by clan mothers and chiefs. Motivated by ancient prophecies,

the Nation fights for environmental stewardship of ancestral land and waters taken by New York State in violation of a 1794 treaty with George Washington.

Lake Onondaga, a sacred site for the Haudenosaunee, remains the most polluted lake in the US: the result of chemical dumping by GE, Honeywell and other corporations. The Good Mind provides an in-depth look at Native American and water protection issues, which residents of the state may be surprised to find are closer to home than the Dakota Access Pipeline.

The 2016 film is unrated. It has a running time of one hour, six minutes.

World War I talk at FDR site on Thursday The Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum in Hyde Park will present an author talk and booksigning with Pulitzer Prizewinning journalist Will Englund on Thursday, August 10 at 7 p.m. The discussion at the Henry A. Wallace Center will center on Englund’s recently published March 1917: On the Brink of War and Revolution, a highly detailed account of the month that transformed the world’s greatest nations. Englund draws upon contemporary Russian and American diaries, memoirs, oral histories and newspaper accounts to tell the story of that year’s warriors, pacifists, activists and revolutionaries, demonstrating how their successes and failures constitute the origin story of our complex modern world.

“We are provincials no longer,” declared Woodrow Wilson on March 5, 1917 at his second inauguration. He spoke on the eve of America’s entrance into World War I, just as Russia teetered between autocracy and democracy. In the face of chaos and turmoil in Europe, Wilson was determined to move America away from the isolationism that had defined the nation’s foreign policy

since its inception and to embrace an active role in shaping world affairs. Just ten days later, Tsar Nicholas II abdicated the Russian throne, ending a three-centurieslong dynasty and plunging his country into a new era of uncertainty, ultimately paving the way for the creation of a Soviet empire.

Within a few short weeks, at Wilson’s urging, Congress voted to declare war on Germany, asserting the US’s new role as a global power and its commitment to spreading American ideals abroad. Yet at home it remained a Jim Crow nation, and African Americans had their own struggle to pursue. American women were agitating for the vote and a greater role in society, and labor strife was rampant. As a consequence of the war that followed, the US and Russia were to endure a century of wariness and hostility that flicker and flare to this day.

The program is part of “World War I and America,” a two-year national initiative of the Library of America, presented in partnership with the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History, the National World War I Museum and Memorial and other organizations, with generous support from the National Endowment for the Humanities. Copies of Englund’s book will be available for sale after the talk.

NIGHT SKY

Eclipse Day: protecting your eyes Stuff you never knew

T

he great solar eclipse is now just a few weeks away. I hope you will travel to where the eclipse is total – such as Carbondale, Illinois – because only totality offers an astounding, unforgettable experience.

If you stay home August 21, our region will see a partial eclipse. This will begin at 1:22 p.m., with the Sun high in the south. At maximum, about an hour later, 75 percent of the Sun will be covered by the Moon. This is the kind of mildly exciting eclipse we get every few years, and it requires THE GREATEST DANGER careful eye protection. In fact, even those in comes from deep reds and invisible the path of totality – like our group of 110 near-infrared radiation, which is people in Casper, Wyoming – will also use absorbed by the dark pigment below eye protection during the hourlong partial the retina, where it heats up the tissue eclipse that precedes and follows totality. so much that it can literally cook Never risk your eyesight. As my new book and destroy retinal cells, leaving a Zapped makes clear, solar radiation includes permanently blind area. fascinating components like ultraviolet waves. Even normal lifetime exposure to solar UV ages the eye’s outer layers and is responsible for cataracts. But right now, we are concerned about the immediate damage produced by looking directly at the Sun without adequate eye protection. Pull up a chair; there’s a lot of misinformation out there.

Even high-intensity visible light can produce retinal burns, resulting in temporary or even permanent loss of visual function. I personally know such a person, who forwarded me his eye doctor’s report. This photochemical injury occurs mainly when the retina is exposed to the blue and green components of sunlight. It’s why people who routinely wear sunglasses in everyday life are wisely protecting their eyes.

But sunglasses are inadequate shielding for looking at the Sun. There, the greatest danger comes from deep reds and invisible near-infrared radiation, which is absorbed by the dark pigment below the retina, where it heats up the tissue so much that it can literally cook and destroy retinal cells, leaving a permanently blind area. This thermal damage causes no pain, since there are no pain receptors in the retina. In fact, you won’t experience the visual damage until at least several hours later.

This is why staring at the Sun is so bad. The heat in the retina builds up. That’s why – although everyone has taken quick glimpses at the Sun during their lives without any harm – staring at the Sun is dangerous. And that’s just what a solar eclipse makes people do.

So you need a filter. The cheap commercial eclipse filters made of Mylar plastic are fine. But I’ve always preferred welders’ goggles as filters because of their superior optical quality. My eclipse tour groups – over a thousand people in total – have safely used them for decades. But if you go to a welding supply store such as Noble Gas on Downs

A boy wearing protective viewing glasses watches a partial solar eclipse from Arlington, Virginia, in 2014.

Street in Kingston, you must buy shade 12, 13 or 14 and nothing else. In this eclipse, the high-up Sun will be a bit brighter than average, so 14 will be the most comfortable – although a shade 12 is definitely still safe, web misinformation notwithstanding.

If you’ve not bought any filter and are desperate on Eclipse Day, all may not be lost.

You can create a safe filter by looking through two layers of exposed and developed black-and-white film. It’s what many astronomers used to use, and has been well-tested.

Those are the inky black strips at the very end of negatives. But don’t try to look through negatives with images on them. And don’t use color film. And don’t use black-and-white film unless it has been exposed and developed. And even then, use a doubled-up layer.

Two layers. We’re talking about older products like Kodak’s Plus-X and Tri-X, which contain the silver granules that block harmful light. Some of the newer films don’t have silver, so only use old negative strips.

Our grandparents used to hold a piece of glass over a candle flame and let it get black from soot. Was that dangerous? Were they endangering their eyesight? Surprise: Modern testing shows that such smoked glass only transmits 0.0032 percent of the Sun’s visible and invisible radiation. So it was adequate for solar viewing when they marveled at the last total solar eclipse in this region, on January 24, 1925.

Nonetheless, to slightly paraphrase our parents, “Don’t smoke glass.” You should avoid it because you never know how deep is the soot layer or whether some of it has smudged off. And definitely avoid such dangerous web suggestions as looking through a CD disk. The Sun’s image may seem safely dim, but too much infrared (heat) may be arriving on your retina.

If you’re ever in doubt about your filter, just take quick glimpses at the eclipsed Sun. Limit each glance through your filter to less than a second to prevent heat from building up inside your eyes. Or punch a pinhole in paper or cardboard and project the Sun’s image onto the ground. Don’t mess with your eyesight. Obtain filters now and be safe on August 21.

BEAUTIFUL GRAY TABBY CAT GIRL named JEWEL; about 1-year old. The person who found me named me JEWEL because he thought my eyes looked like green jewels. The nice man can’t keep me. I’ve been spayed, up to date w/shots and litter pan trained. If you want more information about me please call the Saugerties Animal Shelter at 845-679-0339.

A big thanks to all the people who donated wonderful treasures to our July Flea Market and many thanks to all the people who came and bought all our fabulous items.

A huge thanks to all our volunteers who made it all work. A big hug to Reverend Allison and her patient staff at Christ the King Church.

FOR ADOPTION; ORANGE CAT BOY; KNUCKLES. I’m about 2-years old and have had a very tough life. I have only one eye. Also, I have FIV. Usually, FIV cats can live together w/other cats who have FIV, but I need to be an only cat. I like my own space.

I’m up to date w/shots, have been neutered and am litter pan trained. My caregiver is very smart because he can tell I was abused.

I am a big orange boy ready to love you.

If you want more information about me, please call/text (845)389-7840 or email: trippledigits@hotmail.com
