Aug. 17-24 Bear Fair in Cragsmoor on Saturday helps Bear Hill Nature Preserve Ask denizens of the area surrounding the Shawangunk Ridge what the southernmost park in the Gunks is, and most will tell you that it’s the Sam’s Point Preserve. Very few know about another, much smaller but equally spectacular piece of protected land in Cragsmoor, known as the Bear Hill Nature Preserve. A fairly level 1.5-mile roundtrip hike will take you along the ridgetop to a land of pine barrens, boulder fields, caves and crevices.

Now this relatively undiscovered gem is in need of an infusion of cash. So the Cragsmoor Association is holding a fundraising party this Saturday, August 19 from 2 to 8 p.m. at the Boulders, located at 167 Henry Road, to benefit the Bear Hill Nature Preserve. It’s called the Bear Fair, and admission and parking are free. The fundraising comes in when visitors want to participate in one of the many games and contests, each of which costs $1 per entry.

Games for kids and the young-at-heart will include the likes of arm-wrestling, golf-chipping, badminton, tug-of-war and – most apropos for this particular

Kids' Almanac columnist Erica Chase-Salerno with her husband, Mike, and their kids, Quinn and Declan.

STAGE IV BREAST CANCER: A FAMILY AFFAIR

S

ummertime, summertime, sum-sum-summertime...wait, what?

Needle in the record. Summer 2015: I was diagnosed with Stage IV breast cancer; no previous history.

Instead of beach days, pool playdates and a relaxed summer schedule, suddenly I was in the throes of intensive testing, researching doctors and grappling with lots of new questions. One thing was immediately clear: This diagnosis affects the entire family.

Here’s how we told the kids the day we found out: We set up ingredients for root beer floats on the counter and called them into the kitchen. I said that all of the recent busyness at various doctor offices had given us some helpful information: I have Stage IV breast cancer. That the medicine for this disease would be pretty intense, and I would lose my hair. And that this disease won’t go away for me like some other people – that I’d be on a form of treatment for the rest of my life.

Our son gave me a hug and asked if he could have his root beer float now. Our daughter burst into tears and gave me a hug.

I felt grateful to have words for my illness. So many of my friends struggle with disorders that haven’t been able to get named; and who among us has not been touched by Lyme disease? I’ve had so many firsts along the way: CAT scans, MRIs, PET scans, biopsies and countless medical procedures to help me breathe as excess fluid continues to build around my lungs.

Now it’s two years later: summer 2017. Our bodies are incredible. My body is amazing. I continue to embrace this chapter of my life with strength, openness, humor and love. Honestly, I feel chosen. I look forward to sharing more of our family’s experience with my breast cancer with all of you – a deeper level for Kids’ Almanac.

Rock painting workshops in Catskill The Maurice D. Hinchey Catskill Interpretive Center is holding several public art classes this summer. Artist Susan Togut will teach three free drop-in workshops on hand-painting rocks on Saturday, August 19, 26 and September 2 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Attendees are welcome to come for one Saturday or all three and stay for the duration or a portion thereof. The finished products will be incorporated into Togut’s public art sculpture, Wisdom Trees: Embracing the Cycles of Life, at the CIC along Route 28.

The sculptural installation is a living environment that changes over time. It is composed of a central arbor, two tree installations and pathways that circle the environment. Along the pathways intergenerational participants, of all backgrounds and abilities, will create hand-painted rocks. These will be designed and painted with diverse styles, content and symbolism, using heavy-body acrylic paints.

Everyone is invited to attend; no previous

Dirt: The Secret Life of Soil this Saturday in Saugerties

or some people, one of the most satisfying pleasures of summer is getting dirt under your fingernails, grubbing in the sweet earth to make your garden grow. That intoxicating scent that wafts from living soil is the product of myriad interdependent biological processes, on whose persistence the whole world’s livelihood ultimately depends.

“An extravagant journey into the Great Underneath – opening the curtain to reveal the epic alchemy of plants, the fungi’s dance of mutual delight and the microbes’ herculean labors” is the aptly poetic description given by the folks at Armof-the-Sea Theater to their latest stage production, Dirt: The Secret Life of Soil. Created by Marlena Marallo and Patrick Wadden, Dirt features original music by Eli Winograd and a cast of mask and puppet figures brought to life by performers Anna Haffner, Sam Shippee and Wadden.

Plumb the soil’s teeming ecosystem that flourishes right beneath our feet and learn the importance of protecting the health of our planet’s soils this Saturday, August 19 at 8 p.m. as Arm-of-the-Sea performs Dirt at the Tina Chorvas Waterfront Park, located at 61 East Bridge Street in Saugerties. Admission is by a suggested donation is $12 for adults, $5 for children and $30 for a family of four, payable at the park entrance. Audience members are encouraged to arrive early and to bring lawn seating.

The Center is located at 5096 Route 28 in Mt. Tremper.

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.

From travel writing to narrative interviews and garden poetry to impressionist stories, his art aims to instruct and strengthen our connection to the land, our history and each other.

Paper and writing utensils will be provided. Reserve a spot in the workshop by contacting Susanne Norris at (845)

Bindlestiff Family Cirkus, food and crafts at Hudson Summerfest

In this final month of the summer season of festivals, there is a new entrant into the field: Hudson Summerfest. The family-friendly event will be held at the scenic Henry Hudson Waterfront Park in Hudson on Saturday, August 19 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. (the gates open at 10:30 a.m.). The cost of admission will be tax-deductible, with proceeds benefitting three local nonprofits: the FarmOn! Foundation, the Bindlestiff Family Cirkus and the Hudson Area Library. Tickets cost $25 for adults, $13 for ages 7 to 17 and are free for kids age 6 and under. It’s a rain-or-shine event.

Live music at the festival will encompass the genres of swing, bluegrass, rock and

jazz. The performers include NRBQ, Too Blue, the Zolla Boys, the Matchstick Architects, Black Mountain Symphony and the Fabulous Versatones. The Bindlestiff Family Cirkus will be on hand, interacting with festivalgoers and performing on stilts and juggling.

The Hudson Area Library tent will present readings by authors and illustrators, origami demonstrations and collagemaking with Etsy volunteers.

Participating authors and illustrators include Jackie Rogers, Barbara and Victor Mojica, James Preller, Tara Crowl, Elizabeth Zunon and Esme Shapiro. There will also be a craft-and-makers tent with a showcase of local artisan work.

Family of Woodstock, the Daily Bread Soup Kitchen, Hospice, Woodstock Area Meals on Wheels, the Food Pantry, the Woodstock Artists’ Association & Museum, the Byrdcliffe Guild, Little League, Soccer League, Habitat for Humanity, Woodstock Loan Closet and so on?

Volunteers for not-for-profit arts, social service, civic and community organizations are the lifeblood of this town, of every town. Most would probably tell you that the work they do is its own reward, but it’s a good thing for a community to acknowledge their contributions as often as possible. It’s happening this Saturday afternoon, August 19 at Andy Lee Field, when everyone turns out for the 13th annual Woodstock Volunteers’ Day. If you’re a volunteer for a community organization (and not just in Woodstock), you’re entitled to take part in the free picnic lunch, with food donated by a long list of local businesses. Food will also be for sale to those who just want to express their appreciation for all the good work being done by these mostly unsung heroes. On Saturday, they will be sung: The live music will include Conor Wenk and Gordon Wemp at 2 p.m., the Joe Veillette Orchestra at 3 p.m., A Simple Heart with Janice Hardgrove & Timothy Pitt at 4 p.m., Tim Moore at 4:45 p.m., Thunder Bear at 5 p.m. and the Bruce Ackerman Band at 6 p.m. At dusk there will be a fireworks display. Fun kids’ activities will include a bounce house, giant bubbles and pony rides.

The Andy Lee Recreation Field is located on Rock City Road in Woodstock. To find out more, visit www.volunteersday.org.

Rhinebeck Theatre Society performs Copenhagen at Byrdcliffe this weekend The 2017 Tony Award for Best Play went to a play titled after a Scandinavian capital that dealt with big questions of war and peace, politics and ethics. That one is called Oslo, and it involves a hard-won accord between Israel and Palestine. But another play that, very broadly, meets the same description came out in 1998: Copenhagen. Perhaps Oslo’s critical success is an unconscious part of the impetus for the older play’s revival this month and next by the Rhinebeck Theatre Society (RTS). Following a staged reading in Catskill, a full production of Copenhagen will be performed this weekend at Woodstock’s Byrdcliffe Theatre and come to the Center for Performing Arts at Rhinebeck in late September.

Written by Michael Frayn – best-known

Woodstock Shakespeare Bird-On-A-Cliff Theatre Company’s Festival

for a very different stagework indeed, the hilarious farce Noises Off – Copenhagen is an Expressionist drama with three characters, all of them dead: Danish physicist Niels Bohr, his former pupil, German scientist Werner Heisenberg (who came perilously close to putting prototypical nuclear weapons in the hands of the Nazis) and Bohr’s wife Margrethe.

It deconstructs a clandestine meeting that took place between the two scientists in 1941. Old friends who had revolutionized atomic science during the 1920s, they are now on opposite sides of a world war.

But the science, it turns out, is merely a vehicle: a metaphor for a wrenching probe into deeply human quandaries and contradictions.

The RTS production of Copenhagen is directed by Ellen Honig and stars David Smilow as Heisenberg, Andrew Joffe as Bohr and Christina Reeves as Margrethe.

Performances begin at 7:30 p.m. this Friday and Saturday, August 18 and 19 and at 2 p.m. on Sunday, August 20 at the Byrdcliffe Theatre, located at 380 Upper Byrdcliffe Road in Woodstock. Tickets cost $26 general admission, $24 for students and seniors, and can be ordered by calling (800) 838-3006, extension 1, or by visiting www.rhinebecktheatresociety. com.

Kingston Artists’ Soapbox Derby ready to roll this Sunday

In dark times, one must take one’s joy wherever it can be found; and this weekend, we’ll be able to find it in abundance in Kingston’s Rondout District. Not only are gorgeous antique boats converging on the waterfront once again, but the Artists’ Soapbox Derby will be back, and that’s always good news.

More a handmade parade-on-wheels than a race, the Derby was started in 1995 by gallery-owners George and Nancy

ALMANAC WEEKLY Donskoj, and for a while it was an evergrowing annual event. But then the couple split up, and for a couple of years it didn’t go on at all.

But now, the Soapbox Derby has two fresh organizers in Sarah BissonnetteAdler and Sarah Olivieri, who have set up a not-for-profit called Hudson Valley Community Productions. And as of this writing, the forecast for Sunday, August 20 is favorable for a spirited roll down lower Broadway: 82 degrees and mostly sunny. Local artists, preschools and maker spaces alike are reportedly hard at work on creating new kinetic sculptures to enter in the event.

“Tributes” is the annual themed award category for 2017, which should spark some imaginative entries. Other prizes include the Youth Award, People’s Choice and Rondout Reject, all to be handed out at T. R. Gallo Park following the running of the Derby. There will be live music and street vendors as well.

The fun begins at 10 a.m. this Sunday in the West Strand Historic District, with contestants set to roll from the starting line at the corner of Broadway and Spring Street at 12 noon. Early arrival will help ensure you a parking space within reasonable walking distance and

August 17, 2017

a good vantagepoint for the Derby itself.

It’s a free event and tons of fun. Check out http://kingstonartistsoapboxderby. com and www.facebook.com/ kingstonartistsoapboxderby for more info.

Dutchess County Fair in Rhinebeck begins on Tuesday

The 172nd Dutchess County Fair starts its six-day run on Tuesday, August 22. Fair hours are from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. through Sunday, August 27.

Half a million people are expected to go through the gates of the 147-acre Fairgrounds on Route 9 during this year's run. The fact that this is the 172nd county fair held in Dutchess County is kind of mind-boggling when one considers how different the world was when the first official fair was held in 1842 (the 1916-18 fairs were canceled due to finances and wartime issues). The county fair came to Springbrook Park in Rhinebeck for the first time in 1919. County fairs back then were all about showcasing the talents of farmers: what they grew, what they made, what they fostered. But while the entertainment and midway rides and carnival games have become an integral part of the picture, the county fair at its heart is still about its origins.

The second-largest county fair in

the state will showcase thousands of farm animals, agricultural exhibits and horticultural displays. Ribbons will be awarded to competitors vying in categories that cross the spectrum from horticulture to livestock, photography to quilting and fiber arts to baking. The barns will be full of beautiful animals being taken care of by hardworking kids in the 4-H program, whose “famous 4-H milkshakes” will be available for purchase in the marketplace.

Adult admission tickets are sold in advance (through Sunday, August 20) for $12. Tickets at the gate cost $15. Seniors and military with ID pay $10, and kids age 11 and under get in free. Ten-ride tickets are sold for $20 in advance: a more than 50 percent savings. Admission, rides and a $50 six-day pass can also be purchased at the fairgrounds office in Rhinebeck.

Buying advance tickets for the concerts offers a discount as well as guaranteed admission to the performance. Adult admission costs $10 on Tuesday. Adults pay $7 on Thursday after 5 p.m. For the last day of the fair on Sunday, adults get two-for-one admission for $15. A list of local businesses selling advance tickets can be found on the event website.

All concerts begin at 7:30 p.m.

Opening night on Tuesday, August 22 features rock band 3 Doors Down. An advance combination ticket that includes admission to the fair and the concert is available for $35 ($40 on the day of the show). Wednesday, August 23 brings the Brothers Osborne to the stage. Advance tickets cost $32 ($37 day of show). The Marshall Tucker Band plays on Thursday, August 24. All seats are free with paid admission to the fair. On Friday, August 25, the performance is by the Old Crow Medicine Show. Tickets are available for $32 ($37 day of the show).

The Dutchess Fair Marketplace will have rows of concession booths with more than 300 vendors from all over the world offering a unique shopping experience.

Look for house and garden items, artisanal crafts and jewelry and packaged food and spirits. Most vendors will hold purchases until fairgoers are ready to go home for the day.

Building D is the place to go to sample and purchase specialty foods. Stock up on country-store candies, honey, maple syrup, jams, jellies, fudge and even chocolate-covered apples on a stick.

(What’s a county fair without some type of food on a stick?)

And visitors to the fair can expect to find activities far too numerous to list here. Racing pigs, stiltwalkers, a stingray encounter, mad scientist shows for kids,

NIGHT SKY

Observing the great eclipse Secrets of totality

S

everal people have lately asked me about what exactly to look for during a total eclipse. So, if you’re traveling to this one on August 21, or might see one of the upcoming totalities – in Chile in 2019 or 2020, or in Australia in 2023, or here in the Northeast in 2024 – save this page.

Totality lasts just two-and-a-half minutes this time, and four minutes in 2024. But the real spectacle starts about five to ten minutes before totality begins, so be aware of the time of totality at your location and keep track of the time.

During the hourlong partial eclipse, you need continual use of your eclipse glasses or filter. But 50 minutes in (or ten minutes before totality), put the filter down and pay attention to your surroundings. Sunlight is now emanating exclusively from the solar limb, its edge, and this imparts an otherworldly illumination.

Ordinary familiar objects like houses and cars now seem bizarre. Colors look more saturated and contrast is boosted. Shadows are stark. Starting about five minutes before totality, the light on everything is visibly reduced, seems more yellow, almost orange; and the shadows of bushes or trees now contain countless bizarre glowing crescents. Notice how the temperature is dropping. Look at the reaction of animals.

Take a look at the Sun through your filter now. The Sun, which has looked like a crescent for some time, now has that crescent shrinking into an extended point.

Look again at the ground around you.

Two minutes before totality, all white surfaces (or a sheet, if you’ve spread one in front of you) may suddenly be filled with eerie wiggly black lines. These are the legendary shadow bands. They cannot be photographed. Any video or still picture you take will later show no sign of them!

At one minute before totality, the shadow bands reach their maximum display, the light on everything is most stark and the illumination sharply fades. As the light drops further, start taking quick glances at the Sun directly, without a filter. It’s important that these be momentary, half-second glimpses, because the Sun is not yet safe to stare at.

You are looking for the diamond ring effect. You’ll know it when you see it: a single point of sunlight on the edge of the suddenly visible black Moon, with the solar corona now surrounding the black Moon. Take only quick glimpses of this at a time. And if instead you still glimpse full sunlight, look away immediately and try again 20 seconds later, with another half-second glimpse.

The purpose of all this is to catch totality the moment it begins, and not to miss any of it. When totality begins, no direct sunlight remains – just the ink-black New Moon surrounded by the creamy-but-dim glow of the solar corona. Check your timepiece to confirm. Totality has begun.

Now you can stare at it. Indeed, during that first minute of totality, point binoculars at the eclipsed Sun and look for deep-pink flames shooting from its edge. These are prominences: geysers of nuclear flame.

Using naked eye or binoculars, look for structure in that glow surrounding the Moon.

Any fine filaments or lines are the magnetic field lines of the Sun: a wondrous sight that is normally invisible.

The corona with its filamentary structure, and the pink prominences, are the main

Two minutes before totality, all white surfaces (or a sheet, if you’ve spread one in front of you) may suddenly be filled with eerie wiggly black lines.

a blacksmith competition, police K-9 demonstrations and demos of quilting, rug-hooking and woodcarving and a blacksmith competition are just a few of the entertainments available. There’s an Action Sports Extreme thrill show on Saturday and Sunday at 2 and 6 p.m. ($5 for adults, free for kids age 5 and under) and a draft horse show on Sunday at 9 a.m.

Gentler days can be imagined in the restored one-room schoolhouse and train station, relocated from their original sites.

The Century Museum Village displays, complemented by storytellers in costume, offer a recreation of an early-20th-century print shop with a working press, a living room filled with Victorian-era furniture, a reimagined rural kitchen of the past and the opportunity to watch as repairs are done in a Model T-era auto shop.

A map of the United States showing the path of totality for the August 21, 2017 total solar eclipse. If you stay home, our region will see a partial eclipse. This will begin at 1:22 p.m. on Monday, with the Sun high in the south. At maximum, about an hour later, 75 percent of the Sun will be covered by the Moon.

totality features you are looking to observe. But you will also feel an astonishing, unique sense – or vibration, or presence – to the whole thing. It will be like nothing else you have ever experienced in life. Let this experience in, savor it, as opposed to intellectually trying to figure it all out.

Use binoculars only during the first half of totality, because you don’t want to accidentally get any direct returning sunlight into your eyes through the binoculars when totality ends. You might also look around the sky and look for any stars to be out.

Certainly, Venus and Mercury will be there, with Venus the brightest.

Don’t worry about your surroundings. You don’t need to be viewing from a mountaintop or some other place of natural beauty. The totality will grab your focus and be a complete package of unspeakable beauty. The foreground you choose is nice, but not vital to the experience.

One important tip is not to spend much time with photography. Eclipse experts must bracket their images by using a range of exposures and f-stops. They use at least a 200 mm telephoto, and usually a 400 mm or even more magnification – and of course a tripod. And even then, a lot of fancy processing and image combination is needed afterward. People who spend their totality minutes fiddling with their f-stop dials always regret it afterward. So, know that expert images will be available after the eclipse, and they will be much better than anything you can create. Don’t even try.

Another factor is your soundtrack. You will find totality to be one of the most sacred experiences of your life. I think it’s best experienced in silence. But some enjoy the excited chatter of a group, which invariably includes commentary and exclamations.

It’s not bad per se, but know that you won’t get a second chance. So decide ahead of time what you want. Me, I inform our tour members that I will be unavailable during totality. If you’re in a large group, decide ahead of time whether you to observe it with silence and one-pointedness, or in a matrix of conversation.

Another diamond ring will mark the end of totality. Some say you shouldn’t watch it, but every astronomer I know does indeed watch it, including myself. However, that brilliant spot of returning Sun, the diamond, grows more and more intense, and use common sense to stop watching it after a very short time, after which you must exclusively use your solar eclipse glasses again.

In practice, totality is so astounding, few people bother to observe more than a few minutes of the hourlong partial eclipse that appears after totality. Instead, everyone tries to recall that wondrous thing they experienced. But they can’t. The magical feeling fades, and does not return until the next totality you travel to see – at least one year later.

A scene, set during the 1967 riots, in Kathryn Bigelow’s Detroit.

The battle of the Algiers Kathryn Bigelow ’s Detroit is a searing indictment of racist policing

I

ncredibly, half a century has passed since 1967 – and at some levels of American society, depressingly little has changed. Given the appalling spectacle that we have witnessed this past week of Nazis on the march in Charlottesville, mowing down counterprotestors, there could hardly be a better time for Kathryn Bigelow’s latest film, Detroit, to be hitting the big screen.

While in San Francisco, July 1967 was being heralded as the Summer of Love, and Off-Broadway a few months later as “the dawning of the Age of Aquarius,� in the City of Detroit, it was the time when

Langston Hughes’ “dream deferred� finally reached exploding temperature.

The so-called 12th Street Riot is sparked by a police raid on an unlicensed after-hours club where a welcome-home party for a couple of soldiers returning from Vietnam is underway. We see patrons of the club lined up against a wall, handcuffed and loaded into paddy wagons by an all-white police squad. An angry crowd gathers, a bottle is thrown, a shop window is smashed. And so begin five days of unquenchable rage and terrifying tension that left 43 people dead, more than threequarters of them black.

Bigelow sets the stage for this tinderbox with an animated introduction, based on paintings by Jacob Lawrence and with a narration written by Harvard historian Henry Louis Gates, Jr., that illustrates the Great Migration that brought Southern blacks to Northern cities post-Reconstruction. It touches on “white flight,� segregated neighborhoods and the loss of unskilled manufacturing jobs in the city that started happening at the end of World War II. The historical context is important, because what follows is so horrific that critics are labeling this movie everything from a crime drama to torture porn. It’s much more than a spinetingling thriller, though; it’s a cautionary tale about what can really happen in a society when “othering� is normalized.

Detroit’s focus is on the events of the night of July 25/26, when police raided the Algiers Motel in the Virginia Park neighborhood, claiming that a sniper was holed up inside. By morning, three young black men had been murdered; nine other black men and two white women had been beaten and terrorized.

With searing, minute-by-minute realism, the film reenacts a scenario that feels all

The historical context is important, because what follows is so horriďŹ c that critics are labeling this movie everything from a crime drama to torture porn. glimpses inside the lives of real people that ended or were forever scarred on that night. Our primary point of view comes from Larry Reed (Algee Smith), the angelic-voiced lead singer of an upand-coming soul ensemble called the Dramatics, and his best friend Fred Temple (Jacob Latimore), who seek

ALMANAC WEEKLY

August 17, 2017 refuge inside the motel when a concert is canceled on account of rioting outside. As the movie version tells it, the Dramatics were just about to take the stage for their potential big break into showbiz. We also follow in the footsteps of Melvin Dismukes (John Boyega), a black security guard working two jobs who gets caught up in the events of the riots and is scapegoated for the killings committed by the white police officers.

All three of these performances are very strong, and Anthony Mackie as a Vietnam vet and Hannah Murray as one of the two women on the scene also deserve special mention. Will Poulter is a contender for the crown of Creepiest Movie Villain of 2017, playing a sadistic, philosophyspouting racist cop.

While Detroit is pretty unequivocal about who are the good guys and who the bad guys here, few characters get off entirely without blame. It’s a bit of stupid adolescent horseplay with a starter pistol that draws police attention to the Algiers in the first place, and the “good cops� who refuse to participate in the shakedown are shown as enablers. As for the Detroiters looting and torching their own neighborhoods, their rage is presented as, if not helpful, at least comprehensible. Far less digestible is the knowledge that, after five decades of community activism, police

brutality against “others� remains an everyday occurrence all across America.

I haven’t even mentioned the stunning cinematography by Barry Ackroyd and editing by William Goldenberg that, more than any other factors, make this so compelling a work of screen art. As for Bigelow (The Hurt Locker, Zero Dark Thirty), it’s not a great stretch to suggest that she may be up for her second Oscar here.

Some pundits are saying that Detroit is an example of oversimplified “white gaze� at complex issues of minority communities, and that such a movie should have been made by a black filmmaker. That’s a valid argument, and one may hope that many more “insider� depictions of African American history will be reaching mass audiences in the years immediately to come. In the meantime, Detroit is what we’ve got, and it’s a powerful, timely, exquisitely crafted, film that needs to be seen – and discussed. – Frances Marion Platt

Silencio to perform Sounds of Twin Peaks at Falcon Underground Like Morricone emerging from the spaghetti Westerns both to define

Opening the show is the emerging local instrumental trio the Rough Shapes, who will be performing Twin Peaks music as well. On their own, the Rough Shapes write music in a Lynchian vein: noir but good-humored guitar rock, rootsy but atmospheric.

The band’s debut EP Frequency & Vibration is now available in all the usual places.

The show begins at 7 p.m. Per usual at the Falcon, there is no cover charge, but generous donation is encouraged in no uncertain terms. The Falcon Underground is located at 1348 Route 9W in Marlboro. For more information, visit www.liveatthefalcon.com. – John Burdick

In a strange case of art imitating art, the Falcon Underground in Marlboro has organized a multi-act night of tributes to the music of the enduringly popular and recently revived television show Twin Peaks, which is to say the music of Angelo Badalamenti.

Badalamenti’s evocative soundtracks (and songs co-written with series creator David Lynch) combine unironic sentimentality with jet-set swank and all kinds of creeping menace, which is just another name for “Lynch.�

On Friday, August 25, Silencio brings the Sounds of Twin Peaks to the Falcon Underground. The band Silencio has been interpreting Badalamenti’s compositions for Twin Peaks and additional Lynch films since 2011: long before the series revival. The expert six-piece ensemble with voice has leveraged the Millennial generation’s boundless fascination with Lynch into a storied career of their own, highlighted by two sold-out performances at the 2013 SXSW.

MALACHY MCCOURT WILL READ FROM DEATH NEED NOT BE FATAL at Oblong Books in Rhinebeck on Thursday, August 17 at 6 p.m. and at the Starr Library on Wednesday, August 23 at 7 p.m.

VINCENT REMINI

During the course of his life, writer and raconteur Malachy McCourt reputedly started the ďŹ rst singles' bar in America, was a concrete inspector on the New Jersey Turnpike, a pioneer in talk radio, a soap opera star and a candidate for governor of the state of New York.

don’t write a book titled Death Need Not Be Fatal without a grin on your face.

Grinning in the face of calamity has been a condition that McCourt has endured from his earliest days, as anyone knows who has read his older brother Frank’s searing memoir of Dickensian poverty and loss, Angela’s Ashes. The memory of those cold, rain-soaked and lonely days would make any other man of his years predictably angry and not a wee bit bitter.

But predictability is not McCourt’s strong suit. Looking back over a tumultuously varied life with a sharp, knowing eye, he’s an alchemist who turns his life’s multiple calamities and absurdities into the gold of sharply told stories. The result is as delightful to read as it was to hear last week over a pot of hot tea in his family’s summer rental in deepest Rhinebeck. But first, a bit of advice from the brink: “I always say, ‘Live each day as if it were your last – and one day, you’ll be right!’�

That punchline brings a gleeful cackle from McCourt, the way it punctures the head-nodding solemnity of advice that we’ve all heard. Puncturing is something that McCourt excels at: puncturing the ostentatious, the sanctimonious and the plain stupid. His genial madness has been on display since his early days on radio and TV, and it has never abated.

As a writer – though not as an actor, soap opera star, freelance raconteur, radio talk-show host, candidate for governor nor saloonkeeper – he was a late bloomer: “I had no intention of being a writer. I was in the acting trade. I wasn’t published until I was 66,� when he wrote A Monk Swimming, his best-selling book of reminiscences.

Recipient of the Irish American Writers & Artists’ Lifetime Achievement Award & Irish bon vivant, McCourt

will be at Oblong Books and Music in Rhinebeck signing copies of his literary autobiography Death Need Not Be Fatal on August 17 at 6 p.m. He’ll also be at Rhinebeck’s Starr Library on August 23 at 7 p.m.

McCourt makes the book-writing trade seem less laborious than others have described it. (He has written four other books.) “You know what Bob Dylan said? ‘I don’t write songs. I write them down.’ That’s all I do. It just rolls out.�

Books by others, he said, have long provided him with a lifeline. “I’ve always had this private thing of not having a formal education, because I failed everything. I left school when I was 13.

But I got a love of reading very early; that was my saving.� To this day, he said, he doesn’t know the rules of grammar, “But, I figure, why put editors out of work?�

That said, he eagerly offered a few tips for those practicing the writing trade: “Never judge your material. You’ll find it guilty. And your first thought is as good as your last thought, so keep going. And if editors don’t like it, and they can give you a good reason, well, then, take it out, and there you are.�

He considered a couple of alternate titles for the new book, including I Read Your Brother Frank’s Book. And this: “In Ireland, when you get to be my age, they say you’re in the departure lounge. So I was gonna call it Tales from the Departure Lounge, but we vetoed that because people might think it was about airline travel – which, these days, is as close to death as you can get.� “Having been close to death most of my life, somebody said to me one time, ‘What’s the death rate in Limerick?’ And it’s the same as everywhere else: one per person.�

He talks about the deaths of his mother and brothers and sisters, ranging back to his earliest days. It raises the ghost of what it was like to be poverty-stricken in Ireland. His voice comes close to a whisper as he describes his childhood: “There’s a difference between being poor and poverty. Poverty is a disease. Gives you no hope. And you’re embarrassed. You’re humiliated at every turn. And that’s the thing about poverty: It’s very hard to lift your head up, to look up.â€? “What’s interesting about a povertystricken life? It’s nothing. Nothing seems to go on, except the interruption, the constant interruption of death. Eleven of my classmates died‌ Frank used to say he belonged to the Death-of-the-Month Club.â€?

His warm laugh describes how much he relishes the fact that his family survived the cold hell of such a life. “There’s an entirely different view of death over there. Y’know, here, if you say the word ‘death,’ it’s like saying somebody has got syphilis or something: euphemisms by the hundreds.â€? Disbelief joins a rising urge to laugh as he lists a choice selection of such: “Passed away, passed on, in God’s arms, at peace, under the ground, reposing, gone with the Lord, resting in peace, under the sod, kicked the bucket, bought the farm‌ It just goes on and on and on.â€?

No stranger to death in his childhood, the more recent deaths of his brothers moved him to write the new book. Frank died about six years ago. His brother Mike died nearly two years ago, followed by his brother Alfie a year ago.

He recalled another death in the family – the death of his mother Angela in 1981 – by way of illustrating the weirdness of the American way of death. “She was in the hospital dying of emphysema at Lenox Hill. So we’re on the deathwatch and she was complaining and she said, ‘They allow abortions in this country and they won’t let a person die.’� “And I said to the doctor, I said, ‘You

Antique & Classic Boat Show on the Rondout this weekend

NRBQ

FESTIVAL

HUDSON SUMMERFEST THIS SATURDAY Performers at this inaugural event include NRBQ & the Bindlestiff Family Cirkus

I

n this final month of the summer season of festivals, there is a new entrant into the field: Hudson Summerfest. The family-friendly event will be held at the scenic Henry Hudson Waterfront Park in Hudson on Saturday, August 19 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. (the gates open at 10:30 a.m.). The cost of admission will be tax-deductible, with proceeds benefitting three local nonprofits: the FarmOn! Foundation, the Bindlestiff Family Cirkus and the Hudson Area Library. Tickets cost $25 for adults, $13 for ages 7 to 17 and are free for kids age 6 and under. It’s a rain-or-shine event.

Hudson Summerfest was created by Hudson-based artist, photographer and arts advocate Chad Weckler. He is also the founder of Hudson-Creative (www.hudson-creative.org), a nonprofit designed to provide maker spaces, equipment and a collaborative atmosphere for Hudson Valley artists working in fine art, functional crafts, one-off custom work and small-series manufacturing.

The idea behind Hudson Summerfest is to offer a fun, community-based event that will also raise funds for some worthy organizations: nonprofits that in turn benefit local residents. “In these uncertain times, when funding for meaningful projects is becoming increasingly difficult,” says Weckler, “it’s our responsibility as a community to step up and do what we can to fill that gap.”

Live music at the festival will encompass the genres of swing, bluegrass, rock and jazz. The performers include NRBQ, Too Blue, the Zolla Boys, the Matchstick Architects, Black Mountain Symphony and the Fabulous Versatones. The Bindlestiff Family Cirkus will be on hand, interacting with festivalgoers and performing on stilts and juggling.

The Hudson Area Library tent will present readings by authors and illustrators, origami demonstrations and collagemaking with Etsy volunteers. Participating authors and illustrators include Jackie Rogers, Barbara and Victor Mojica, James Preller, Tara Crowl, Elizabeth Zunon and Esme Shapiro. There will also be a craft-and-makers tent with a showcase of local artisan work.

The FarmOn! Foundation, which is all about raising awareness of food choices and sources and encouraging young people to choose farming as a career, will offer a diverse menu of locally sourced food and drinks for purchase. Free food- and drinktastings will also be available in and around the festival grounds.

know, you’ve got to pull out those tubes and needles.’ ‘Oh,’ he said, ‘we can’t do that. Ethics, the law and so forth.’ I said to him, ‘Don’t worry, doctor; we come from a long line of dead people.’” The doctor was left with little more to do than walk, rapidly, down the hall.

“So I’m sitting with Angela in the middle of the night. She’s in a coma and she wakes up and I’m at the end of the bed and she opens one eye and looks at me. ‘What are ye doing there?’ It’s about three o’clock in the morning. I said I thought you might die tonight. And she said, ‘I might and I might not. But that’s my business.

Why don’t you go home to your bed?’” So McCourt did as his mother said, and about two hours later, he got the call: She had died.

“I guess she wanted privacy. I guess she thought it would be rude to go while I was sitting there, leaving me alone.” He shook his head at the memory and smiled. “She had a certain peasant politeness.”

He listed the physical afflictions that have already struck him: prostate cancer, a brain tumor, gout. He has got a new knee and new hip, nine heart stents and a disease called IBM, which stands for Inclusive Body Myositis: a progressive muscular disease. He uses a walker to get around these days. “So there’s all of that,” he says with a shrug.

Certainly, he has taken no comfort from the Catholic religion: “Organized religion has all the elements of organized crime, except the compassion” is the kindest thing he has to say about the religion of his

youth. But he has found places, practices and people – especially his wife of 52 years, Diana – that keep him going. Among the places of comfort that he has found is a twice-monthly salon meeting with mostly Irish and Irish-American writers in New York City, where reading and hearing the work of others offer refreshment.

In recounting a recent monthlong stay in a New York rehab center that he describes as part nursing home, part old folks’ home, he sounds a bit mystified, even querulous. “You know, they say ‘old folks’ and I don’t know what to think. I don’t consider myself ‘old folks,’ being in possession of the head” – he points to it – “I may be a walking human tenement, but the roof is still on.”

A trip to the shore in mid-August is the stuff of summertime dreams, but not everyone has the option to make it come true. For those whose schedules keep them closer to home this time of year, a visit to Kingston’s Rondout waterfront is the next-best mini-refresher. And there’s no better excuse than this weekend’s activities: the Artists’ Soapbox Derby on Sunday and, both days, the 33 rd annual Antique and Classic Boat Show.

Even if you’re the type who goes bilious green at the slightest rocking motion afloat, you can still feast your eyes and your fancies on the beauties that will be tied up at the docks along the Strand on August 19 and 20. There’s something about the burnished glow of old wood under thick layers of glossy marine varnish, studded with shiny brass fittings, that can awake the wanderlust in the stodgiest stay-at-home.

This judged show, organized by the Hudson River Chapter of the Antique and Classic Boat Society, features power, sail and hand-powered classic watercraft from such original manufacturers as ChrisCraft, Century, Elco, Lyman, Thompson and Wheeler, as well as examples of homemade vessels. Admission is free, and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sunday, boat-owners, restorers and historic preservationists will be on hand to answer your questions.

Chopin and His World at Bard Music Festival spotlights solo piano works this Friday DION OGUST | ALMANAC WEEKLY

Opus 40

MUSIC

JIMMY COBB PERFORMS AT OPUS 40 THIS SATURDAY

S

ometimes it is intensely meaningful just to be in a space with someone, to be literally touched by the invisibly shedding skin cells and exhalations of someone who, say, played on Kind of Blue and with virtually every other great from the peak era of jazz. Opus 40 in Saugerties is no stranger to jazz legends: Sonny Rollins recorded his well-received 1986 album G-Man there and, during the performance, fell six feet off the “stage,” breaking his heel but continuing to play. Many other jazz eminences have stumbled on the rocks of Harvey Fite’s spectacular sculpture park, including local residents and jazz titans like DeJohnette, Holland, Abercrombie and (one-time local resident) Metheny.

Still, there is something pretty special about this one: drummer Jimmy Cobb, the last surviving member of Miles Davis’ Kind of Blue ensemble (a group that included John Coltrane, Bill Evans and Cannonball Adderley) takes to the rocks at Opus 40 on Saturday, August 19. A simple list of the names with whom Cobb has played is good reading. In addition to the Miles crew, this subtle, sympathetic, song-centric drummer worked with Billie Holiday and Sarah Vaughn. Take that.

The gates open at 4 p.m. The show begins with a set by Murali Coryell, a fixture on the regional and national blues scene for several decades and the son of the great and late jazz guitarist Larry Coryell. Tickets cost $30 in advance and $35 at the gate. For tickets and additional information, call (845) 245-3400 visit www.opus40.org. Opus 40 is located at 50 Fite Road in Saugerties.

Saugerties’ Cantine Field hosts Hope Rocks Festival this weekend Every time someone we know, or someone famous, commits suicide or otherwise dies from a mental healthrelated condition, we all wring our hands over what we might have done to foresee or prevent it. In time, most of us tend to go back to our busy workaday lives and forget to try to hear the silent cries for help that are being repressed all around us. Fortunately, there are people out there dedicating their lives to reaching out to folks who suffer from mental illnesses and helping them cope.

You can meet some of those human lifelines at Cantine Field in Saugerties this weekend, where the Hope Rocks Festival – subtitled “A Festival to Illuminate the Darkness of Addiction and Suicide” – will happen Saturday afternoon and evening and Sunday afternoon. It will mingle services, seminars and activities for at-risk individuals and their families with softball, basketball and volleyball tournaments, a 5/10K run, art exhibitions, food and craft vendors. There will also be live music on four stages, brought to you

by Morse Rocks Presents.

Performers will include, on Saturday, Annie in the Water, For No One, Julie Raleigh, Vision Serpent, Sheila Dee & the Dazzlers, 90 Proof, Abby Hart, Kristin Capolino, Heavy Metal Parking Lot, Kelsey Gaulin, Porcelain Helmet, the Paul Luke Band, Frances Dean, Eric

Goo Goo Dolls play Bethel Woods

A

lt/rock hitmakers the Goo Goo Dolls have two distinct sets of fans: those who insist, often with raised voices and a chance of fisticuffs, that the hardscrabble Buffalo-bred rockers were actually cool before they got big with radio hits that tend toward the sensitive side of ’90s rock; and those who made them get big. Once big, there’s no choice but to be big, however.

The Goo Goo Dolls continue to embrace the rock-star ride. They perform at the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts on Saturday, August 19 at 8 p.m., with Phillip Phillips opening. Ticket prices range from the $48 to $110.50 for reserved seating and $34 for lawn.

For tickets and more information, visit www.bethelwoodscenter.org. The Bethel Woods Center for the Arts is located at 200 Hurd Road in Bethel.

consciously bequeath their own formal truths to the future. Symphonies (and operas, for those who partake) are flagship, are branding. Chamber works and – especially – solo piano music, on the other hand, are more likely to be the composer’s secret heart-songs and experimental diaries.

This is why I so much prefer them.

Give me Beethoven’s last few piano sonatas over the Fifth any day, or Brahms’ Op. 118, or Ravel’s Le Tombeau de Couperin before he orchestrated it, when it was a suite of six heartrending solo piano pieces in a delicate French Baroque style, each devoted to the memory of a different friend or composer who had died in World War I. And give me Chopin over most others.

The Polish Romantic master is the only

five-star marquee composer I can think of who pretty much skipped the whole orchestral enterprise (but for a couple of piano concerti) and wrote almost exclusively heart-songs for solo piano. I mean, there is Federico Mompou, too; but have you ever heard of him? (Check out Cançons i Danses.) Chopin managed to become one of the most celebrated voices in serious music without spending any time at all, really, in its largest halls or trying his hand at its grandest forms. I think of his music as a kind of undying, worldwide galloping brushfire of tiny salon concerts and intimate loves, joys, fears, fantasies and bad dreams confided to one person at a time: a secret that everyone is in on.

Their renditions of Eagles classics have been recognized by those in the industry such as Jack Tempchin, (composer of “Peaceful Easy Feeling” and co-composer of “Already Gone”) and received praise throughout North America and Europe. The Fast Lane has also been heralded by the International Press Association’s Pat Ryder who wrote, “If you didn’t know better, you’d swear you were really at an Eagles concert!”. The band has quickly risen through the ranks of the tribute scene, and gone from opening act to headliner almost overnight. One listen to The Fast Lane is all it will take to make even the most Die-Hard Eagles lover a fan for life!

For those who wish to cut right to the chase, however, there is Friday, August 18: Program Seven, “Chopin and the Piano.” Following a 7:30 p.m. preconcert talk by Jonathan Bellman, seven pianists will confide Chopin at the Fisher Center’s Sosnoff Theater. These pianists are Charlie Albright, Michael Brown, Ran Dank, Danny Driver, Piers Lane, Nimrod David Pfeffer and Anna Polonsky, and the program features samplings of the many forms in which Chopin wrote, some of which he invented. Ticket prices range from $25 to $60.

Down-to-Earth Music Festival to land in Ferndale 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 mean‌you 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.

Although the location was long shrouded in mystery (and originally supposed to take place in West Saugerties), the Bethel Hideaway Campground in Sullivan County's Ferndale has just been announced as host of the festival. It is located at 106 Fulton Road in Ferndale (a hamlet of Liberty). More of the pertinent information can be discovered at http:// dtemusicfestival.com.

RenĂŠ Bailey & Saints of Swing launch new CD this Sunday at Rosendale Theatre

Born in Georgia and raised on gospel music, RenĂŠ Bailey took a long detour into the worlds of blues, jazz and R & B before settling down in Kerhonkson. Today she is the music director for the Samsonville United Methodist Church, but over her exten-

sive musical career she has performed with such luminaries as Louis Armstrong, B. B. King, Aretha Franklin, Dave Brubeck, Ruth Brown, Paul Anka and Sam Cooke. Bailey spent 20 years as a featured vocalist at the Peg Leg Bates Country Club, and for an equally long time she has fronted the mid-Hudson’s own Saints of Swing.

Now the Saints – whose wide-ranging repertoire also encompasses the sounds of New Orleans and Motown, Latin and klezmer – have cut a new CD featuring Bailey singing mighty gospel standards.

It’s titled Good Old Songs, out on the Lone Pine Road label, and amazingly, it’s Bailey’s first-ever record. To hear some samples, check out http://lonepineroad. com/rene-bailey.

A concert and launch party will be held at the Rosendale Theatre this Sunday, August 20 at 3 p.m. Tickets cost $20 in advance – available online at www.brownpapertickets.com or at the Rosendale Theatre box office – and $25 at the door. It’s a fundraising event to help the not-for-profit community cinema make it through its slow season, and the price of admission includes refreshments.

Copies of Good Old Songs will be available for sale at the event.

Steve Riley & Racines play Rosendale CafĂŠ this Saturday Steve Riley is known locally for his frequent area appearances with the roving all-year Mardi Gras party known as Steve Riley & the Mamou Playboys; but on Saturday, August 19, this master of Cajun music will be playing with a different outfit: a collective of well-known Cajun musicians performing under the name Steve Riley and Racines (which means “rootsâ€?) at the Rosendale CafĂŠ. This group explores all the corners of the varying musical traditions that call Southwest Louisiana home: Cajun music, zydeco, blues and more.

Tickets cost $25. For more information, visit http://rosendalecafe.com. The Rosendale CafĂŠ is located at 434 Main Street in Rosendale.

Pine Plains to host Huichica Festival The second annual Hudson Valley incarnation of the Sonoma, California-based Huichica Festival takes over Chaseholm Farm in Pine Plains, just south of Hudson, on Friday, August 25 and Saturday the 26th. The lineup is impressively hip (downright awesome, actually), featuring the likes of chimey indie-rock sensation Real Estate, the great songwriter Cass McCombs, retro soul and blues dynamo Charles Bradley, Marissa Nadler and many more.

A two-day pass costs $90. Single-day tickets and parking are available as well.

Grandchildren of New Deal leaders speak in Hyde Park on Saturday Some Millennials say that the supposedly idealistic Baby Boom generation dropped the ball, big-time. Some Boomers complain that those Millennials are ruining everything they touch. (And some people judge other people by their individual choices, not by the generational cohort into which they were born.)

But the folks who carried on through the Great Depression, the New Deal and World War II haven’t yet been forced to give up their shiny label of the Greatest Generation. Do they still deserve it?

Perhaps it’s time to look at their mistakes as well as their triumphs – and who better to provide a long view of the legacy of the 1930s and ’40s than the descendants of that era’s national leaders? This Saturday afternoon, August 19, the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum and the National New Deal Preservation Association will present a discussion titled “The New Deal Today: The Grandchildren Speak.� The panelists include James Roosevelt, Jr., David Wallace Douglas, June Hopkins and Tomlin Perkins Coggeshall, with Christopher N. Breiseth as moderator.

The 4 p.m. panel will be preceded by a 3 p.m. presentation by the National New Deal Preservation Association of the Kathy Flynn Preservation Awards.

And in the evening, beginning at 7 p.m., Randall Wallace, grandson of Henry A. Wallace, will join fiddler Jay Ungar onstage for a concert of Songs of the New Deal Era. All three events take place at the Henry A. Wallace Center and are free and open to the general public, but you must preregister at www.fdrlibrary.org.

The Wallace Center of the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum is located at 4079 Albany Post Road (Route 9) in Hyde Park.

The food festival part of the event will offer six barbecue rib vendors: Big Kev’s BBQ, Butch’s Smack Your Lips BBQ, Handsome Devil, LLC, Jack McDavid’s Down Home Diner, SmokeShack BBQ and Pigtails BBQ Company. Each will have half and full racks of ribs available for purchase along with other barbecued meats and side dishes. They often sell bottles of their sauces and BBQ rubs, too.

Additional vendors will offer classic fair food: roasted corn, fried dough, fried pickles, lemonade, Italian ices, soft pretzels, kettle corn, hot dogs, hamburgers, French fries, jerk chicken and shrimp, apple cider doughnuts and pies, beer and milkshakes. A bull-riding apparatus will be located (logically) near the beer tent.

Attendees learn how to cook specific recipes and sample locally produced spirits, wine and beer.

Winners earn cash prizes and bragging rights.

On Saturday afternoon, The New England Barbecue Society will sponsor a grilling contest. Prizes will be won in four categories, including a grilled apple dessert. Sunday’s competition, sponsored by the Kansas City Barbeque Society (KCBS), will be all about the barbecued meats. Winning contestants will move

ART Armor & the man Artist Ernest Shaw explores what it means to be mortal at ASK gallery in Kingston

E

rnest Shaw lives with his wife, Marna Anderson, in an artfilled, tastefully decorated farmhouse in the countryside outside Kingston. It’s a tidy domestic milieu that hints at Anderson’s occupation as a folk-art dealer and Shaw’s practice as a psychotherapist and artist. But looming over the back patio is a 40-foot-high waterfall that embodies a different kind of en-

ergy: powerful, wild, almost scary. When Shaw turns on the pumps, water shoots over the tumultuous arrangement of boulders and rocks from multiple directions – a thunderous roar that’s incongruous with the bucolic setting of the house, patio and wellkept lawn. No mere fountain, it’s a force of nature. (Shaw and his wife built it from scratch, trucking in tons of earth and bluestone boulders and using the old

ALMANAC WEEKLY

August 17, 2017 of sculptures, paintings and drawings.

He describes the process as a journey emanating from some deep artesian source within the self that “carried me along like a strong current, which I willingly, ecstatically rode.” It’s the work of transformation, “of engaging our selves and our world to create meaning out of our life’s journey.”

The process is akin to his work with patients as a psychiatrist, therapist and teacher of mindfulness meditation. Shaw’s themes are archetypal. He digs into the very essence of mutable existence, revealing its precarious balance between life and death. “While we long for a life free of human dilemmas, we can never

escape, because they are the essence, the work of being human,” he said.

A small sampling of his rich oeuvre is currently on display at the Arts Society of Kingston in a show called “Mortal,” which opened August 5. While there isn’t room for his di Suvero-sized steel or granite sculptures – many of them situated at university campuses, museum sculpture parks and public municipal spaces across the US – the show will highlight touchstones of his prodigious output. They include wood pieces from his dreamlike Mnemonic Series: graceful forms not quite human, not quite animal, carved from blocks of laminated plywood coated with liquid graphite, which gives

them a soft, dusky finish, as if they were fabricated from mist; and the carvedwood Caravan Series: ritualistic boatlike vessel, anvil and shrine forms whose surfaces are distressed, as if they were ancient archaeological artifacts. Also on display are black-and-white paintings, made from raw pigment pressed into paper and canvas, that depict gestural figures and featureless heads; and tonal graphite drawings incorporating ghostly circles and nestlike masses, evoking suns rising through the mist and other atmospheric effects, made during a trip to Tuscany in 2000.

Shaw grew up in the Bronx and Queens and graduated high school at age 16. After graduating from Alfred University, he attended the SUNY College of Medicine in Syracuse and did his residency training at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City. Even in med school, he made things, and while at Albert Einstein he studied writing with the distinguished Filipino American poet, José García Villa.

In 1970, after completing his residency, Shaw moved to a 20-acre property in Gardiner and was hired as the head of mental health services at Vassar College.

In 1973 he taught himself to weld. Two

years later, he quit psychiatry as his career as a sculptor took off. He created more than 400 works in steel, many of them large-scale and some incorporating large stones.

Particularly remarkable, in terms of scale and sheer force, is an enormous, hieroglyphiclike assemblage of granite displayed on the Grounds for Sculpture in Hamilton, New Je r s e y, t i t l e d Sumo.

Shaw fabricated rusted steel totemic forms, called Votives, some 32 feet tall, and huge, amphora-shaped vessels of woven strips of steel. In the late 1980s he shifted to carving wood on a more intimate scale, then painted his Informant and Witness series.

Ten years ago, Shaw and Anderson moved to their current home, whose landscaping and renovation have consumed much of his energies. But even in hiatus, Shaw can’t stop making art: In one of the art-crammed barns on the property, new hanging pieces – each consisting of a piece of wire stretched into a series of commodious curves, loose yet crisp, from which sag masses of burlap resembling tired flesh – hang from the walls or window locks. The burlap was used to cover the shrubs and trees in winter, and the new series evolved after he removed it in the spring. Shaw’s imagination is ever at play, even while doing yardwork.

August 17, 2017

Almanac Weekly’s Lynn Woods recently interviewed Shaw at his home.

You’re self-taught. Did you ever take an art class?

The last semester of my senior year at Alfred, I took a drawing course. Our first assignment was to draw from nature, so I took my pad and a few bottles of beer and went off to sketch a spot where a small stream meandered its way through a shale outcrop. I had forgotten my pens and brushes, so I took twigs and leaves and dipped them in the ink, drawing the shale. I didn’t know how to render the water, so I just scooped water onto the paper. Back in the classroom, the instructor – Daniel Rhodes, who was also head of the Ceramics Department – walked around glancing at our work. I felt anxious when he carried my drawing to the easel in front, expecting to be bounced from the class; but instead Rhodes praised it as the one drawing in the class that could be talked about as art. I couldn’t do one good drawing after that, but Rhodes gave me an A and told me he would mentor me if I went to art school. But I went to med school instead.

“All living things develop some kind of metaphorical armor – even plants and bacteria. Anxiety is an essential part of surviving. ”

What compelled you to become a psychiatrist?

One was a physician and the other a well-known psychiatrist, who had a wonderful smile and looked regal in his Army captain’s uniform. I thought, “I’d like to be like that, held high in my father’s esteem.” The fact that I had anxieties and plenty of fears in childhood, a rich imagination and a deep longing to understand life and my troubles propelled me to a profession that explored those very questions.

Eventually you veered into art. How did that happen?

Daniel Rhodes had opened the door to art, and the first year of medical school was boring. I would cut out of class early and drive to Lake Onondaga, where I’d pick up industrial flotsam and make sculptures. The unfolding magic of

creating something made me feel alive.

But working with patients the second year made medical school come alive, too.

You’ve written about how as an artist it is essential “to remember and honor what came before, how the past…calls to us in whispers or shouts.” How does your past inform your work?

It’s not only “my” past, it’s “the” past. We need a sense of history and moral reality to orient us. As a child, my father took me to the American Museum of Natural History, and standing in the Northwest Indian Hall among the giant totems, I was filled with awe and wonder. Those carved wooden totems spoke to my heart, my blood. They told me there was a world within this world, a past history in the present, light inside the dark.

Growing up, my parents gave me a lot of leeway to find my own way. I appreciate that, but it left me a little lost, having no religion or fixed beliefs. I was hungry to be more a part of this world, but didn’t quite know how.

So you developed an armor?

All living things develop some kind of metaphorical armor – even plants and bacteria. Anxiety is an essential part of surviving. The problem is, it can get way out of balance. As we grow, the armor doesn’t grow with us, and it suffocates and imprisons us. But it’s not easy to shed that armor, because behind it still lurk the fears, the terrors, the pain. When people come into therapy, it is not they who are falling apart, but the armor. The real work of therapy is to be present and help them open up to their emerging self.

ALMANAC WEEKLY

August 17, 2017 To ask for help was not my way. Once, in a diving accident in the Caribbean, I nearly died because of this. A storm blew up and I was being smacked against some enormous boulders a distance from shore.

I was panicked, choking and swallowing water. Someone was watching me from maybe 100 feet away, but I wouldn’t signal for help. I was able to ride one of those surging waves onto those boulders, which I finally did, and was saved. The next day, I sketched that rock from the beach, calling the circular foxhole where I had landed God’s Cup. It was as close as I came to feeling cradled in the spiritual center of being. I felt communion with the rock, the creator of rocks. That’s why I do therapy. That’s why I make art. They’re both containers that hold me.

You also teach meditation. How does that inform your work?

I’ve studied with some excellent teachers along the way. I’m not a Buddhist, but I draw a lot from the Buddhist understanding of the human

What is your process?

I explore something visually and perhaps philosophically. I work in series, each usually consisting of between 30 and 50 pieces. When I’m simply repeating things and there’s no more edge to lean into, no discovery or challenge, I move on.

Often a new direction is apparent in the accidents and mistakes I’ve made, pulling me towards their unresolved nature and possibilities.

What issues interest you in your art?

As William Blake wrote, “To see the world in a grain of sand/And heaven in a wild flower.� Mindfulness, which I teach, is the practice of consciously paying attention in the present moment. Art has the power to move, stir and shake us. So does therapy. So do relationships, because they press every single button.

The issues are life and death, order and chaos, balance and imbalance and so much more. Words and ideas, rich as they

Whether I’m making a painting or listening to a patient, the caring is in the details. Love too is in the details.

You were working at Vassar College as a psychiatrist when you took up welding, which changed your life. What motivated you to do this?

In 1973 I had a dream of the Iron Age, of men hammering steel, forging, pouring molten steel out of crucibles. The next day I drove to Kingston, bought a book on welding, oxyacetylene torches and a small electric welder and stopped at Millens Steel for pieces of scrap steel. By the end of the day I had my first sculpture: a lady holding up the rusty skeleton of an umbrella. After that I cut steel forms for mirrors and torch-cut glyphs for decorations. Then I began laying out eighth-inch sheets of steel on the ground and hammering them until they cracked and split open; I would slide one sheet into the other and weld them all into a closed form, creating a steel pod. I explored what steel was and had my first show at Ulster County Community College. I was working on the Totem Series by that time, as well as making steel frameworks

with hung stones inside. (One of these is at Kykuit, Nelson Rockefeller’s former estate, which houses his art collection.)

The stones were from the dismantled Ashokan Reservoir dams, and some had wagon wheels grooved into them.

So when you were making a piece, even one 20 feet tall, you didn’t make a preparatory sketch or model?

I was always sketching ideas. Yet I trusted implicitly in the process. I would

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

Longer nights, fewer seeds It’s time to plant a fall crop of spinach

I

’m triply thankful for the lily stems in the vase in the kitchen: first, for their beauty. The large lily-white (of course) petals flare out into trumpets, from whose frilly throats poke groups of rust-red anthers and single tear-capped stigmas.

The petals spread about eight inches wide from one side to the other, and the single stalk that I plunked into the vase sports six of them!

Second, I’m thankful for the lilies’ fragrance. The heady, sweet fragrance fills the whole room. And third, I’m thankful that the plants, cut from outdoors where they share a bed with staked Sungold tomato plants, are alive. They’ve been threatened by a relatively new pest: the lily leaf beetle (Lilioceris lilii). This European pest made its North American debut in Montreal in 1945, and its debut on my farmden in 2015.

Lily leaf beetle can be controlled by sprays, even organic ones such as Neem or spinosad. But I’m not keen on spraying anything on plants rubbing elbows with edibles – in this case, my Sungold tomatoes.

The beetles’ bright red color makes them easy to spot, at which point they can be crushed. Battling the beetle mano á mano is a viable control for a backyard planting. This was my approach a couple of years ago. With other garden distractions and many crown imperial (Fritillaria) plants, which also are attacked by the beetle, I abandoned any efforts to control the beetle.

Yes, I saw some beetles on the lilies this season; yes, the plants are still doing well.

Plants can tolerate a certain amount of pest damage and still do fine.

With eyes and nose taken care of, let’s move on to another of the senses: taste.

I’d like some spinach. But I can’t have it – yet. I can plant it very soon, though; and then, in a month or so, I can be eating it.

So why didn’t I plant it a month ago, so I could be eating it now? The reason is that spinach is a long-day plant, which flowers (a/k/a “goes to seed”) during summer’s long days. Planted a month ago – even two months ago – and after making a rosette of a few leaves, the plant would pump its energy into flowers and seeds. Besides yielding a paltry harvest, that whole “going to seed” thing also ruins the flavor of the leaves.

Actually, it isn’t long days that make spinach gustatorily morph from Dr. Jekyll to Mr. Hyde; it’s short nights. (Photoperiodism, the name for this response, was originally thought to be the response to day length; calling it a response to “day length” stuck even after it was discovered that the response was to the length of the night.) Beets, gladiolas, lettuce and radishes are also “long-day plants.”

Photoperiod doesn’t work alone in prodding plants to grow or flower. Temperature, either before germination or while the plants are growing, also figures in; as do light intensity and soil moisture. Spinach usually flowers when days are 14 or more hours long (more correctly, short nights that are ten or fewer hours long), but will also do so following eight-hour days (16-hour nights) if the seeds are chilled.

Nights are now just over ten hours long, so I can plant spinach. While the plants are growing, cooler temperatures (which are coming this way) and adequate water (which my plants will get, thanks to drip irrigation) also factor in to keep spinach from going to seed. So the spinach that I sow today will put all its energy into growing large and tasty leaves.

It isn’t long days that make spinach gustatorily morph from Dr. Jekyll to Mr. Hyde; it’s short nights.

My awesome lilies aren’t just any old lilies. They’re true lilies (Lilium species), not daylilies (Hemerocallis species). Once we’ve narrowed down “lily” to the genus Lilium, there are about 100 species within that genus from which to choose.

My lily is one of many varieties of Asiatic hybrid lilies. Its name: Casa Blanca. I highly recommend growing it.

get someone to show my work. We were sitting in an eatery and overheard four men who were obviously art dealers at the next table. My girlfriend showed them my slides, and long story short, one of them, Irving Luntz, a major art dealer, drove his Rolls Royce Silver Cloud up to Gardiner the next day. He chose 17 pieces for a show three months later on the grounds of the Milwaukee Arts Center. It sold out (four pieces were acquired by the Bradley Sculpture Gardens, a major collection). A year later I had my first New York City show at Sculpture Now. But I was never hungry to be part of the art world. I liked life up here in the country and simply wanted to work.

keys, such as “Time reveals and conceals every journey.” The Greek philosopher Heraclitus wrote, “You can’t put your foot in the same river twice.”

But you also kept making sculpture.

Yes, but I wanted a softer, more malleable surface and started working with wood. I made large laminated blocks of plywood, worked them with chainsaws and painted them with various materials.

I had one of my last shows with the Mnemonic and Caravan Series before I closed my studio. I was going through a divorce and I needed time and space. In 1990 I met Marna, and the next year I returned to psychiatry.

In the late 1990s I began to paint again, and from that the Informant and Witness Series evolved.

The French poet Paul Valéry said, “To truly see something is to forget the name of what one sees.”

The energetic, almost frenetically applied lines and strokes of your black-and-white paintings and drawings of simplified and fragmented figures seem to channel the force of levitating steel beams and rocks of your sculpture. Was there a definitive shift from one medium to the other?

Many years ago I wrote a line in a poem alluding to David and Goliath: “Small stones sting!” Any medium, any scale, well-aimed, incisive, has enormous power, visual or otherwise. In 1980 or so, I had a serious injury working on a large commission piece. My assistant carried pads and pencils into my hospital room and admonished me to “Start drawing or you’ll go nuts.” I made hundreds of drawings over that time. I drew masses related to timed intervals my assistant kept, lying on my back. The masses related to rocks, nests, eggs, the shrimp I ate for dinner, body parts – everything and anything. Eventually the timed masses evolved into a landscape series, which I called the Hudson River Dream Series, followed by the Master Builders.

It evolved, became layered. The format of the Master Builders were composed of either six targetlike forms or three doorlike forms on 30-by-40-inch paper.

Words appeared on the drawings as both process descriptions and poetic

Both of these series are related to figures.

What inspired the Informants?

The Informants refer to those personages in childhood from literature, popular culture, mythologies and real life who informed me what it was like to live with adversity and physical deformity, to be an outcast. Perhaps the ones represented most frequently are the renowned Siamese twins, Chang and Eng, who were sold to a circus as older children before becoming landowners and successful farmers in the South, marrying and having a multitude of children. I was fascinated at the fact they lived full lives married at the hip, unable to be apart even in their conjugal bed. With my own secrets, shames and fears, I could not wrap my mind around how they managed.

When one finally died, the other died about two hours later.

One painting shows a black pigment figure with the hand reaching into his twin, touching his heart. And then there was the indomitable Frosty the Snowman, who had to melt, to die every year, but danced, sang, whistled his way into death.

These personages informed me how to live with insurmountable struggles and how

A taste of peas would also be nice. The spring harvest was good.

Still, some gardeners successfully plant peas in summer for an autumn harvest. Not me.

Day length isn’t what messes up late-sown peas – for me, at least; heat is. Peas languish during hot weather, common through August and even lingering into early autumn. So the peas grow poorly, and if they do weather the hot weather, they are apt to be struck down by the first frost of autumn.

I’ve heard that Wando is a pea variety that can take some heat. I haven’t tried for an autumn harvest for many, many years. With climate change, perhaps autumn peas are worth another try.

to die with insurmountable grace.

The Witness figures are very different: single featureless heads, in white against a black ground, or visa versa.

I was in the studio, my back to the open door, bathed in the sunlight, my paper spread out before me, wondering what to do. Then I saw the shadow of my head as it fell across the page like a dream, like fire. I drew it and felt how we witness life by seeing our own shadows; it’s a head watching itself paint, watching itself watching something beyond the painting. There is a tilt to all the heads, a postural attitude, referring to something – something seen, something felt.

Who is the Witness?

All of us, I guess. We are asked to pay attention, be present, be compassionate.

To witness goes beyond just seeing; it is a felt presence with the other, with nature, with our own hearts. It is communion with the world.

I can’t help thinking of my father and how at times he was a witness to me. When I was 11 he had a nervous breakdown, probably from the pressures of being in a business he hated. Afterwards, he went back to school to get his Masters, then his PhD in Literature, and spent the last 30 years of his life working as a university professor in Literature and the Humanities, which he loved. So I was his witness as well.

The years he worked full-time, taught

some college classes and went to school at night I hardly saw him, and perhaps it is that longing to remember, to honor his heroic struggles and watch him live into his dream, that informs the Heraldic Series, which were done in the late 1980s.

They are imagined coats of arms for my family, as though we’d had some lineage I could palpably know. I’d identify my father in imagination with other heroic figures, events and even simple emotions and write them onto the surface of the wooden pieces, like I Remember My Father as Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce or I Remember My Father at Masada.

What do you hope to gain from “Mortal”?

It is being mortal. So, what do I still have to do? Be here now, look back and understand what my life and art have been about and look ahead to where am I going. And maybe get my hands back into making art.

The nice thing about being older is having that perspective on life. I’m not expecting anything, but you never know.

It’s been a great opportunity to pause, reflect, take stock of where I am and how I got here.

A pre-professional theater institute for 10 through 18 year olds, and engages young people in a dynamic ensemble process to create and perform contemporary cutting edge theater. YET was founded and is directed by Amy Poux, a former professional actress and director, Poux is the current Director of Education at the Film Society of Lincoln Center and a Rosendale resident of 15 years.

YET Teens have traveled to NYC 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 theater-making -- like original video and recorded music. Each play is as different and unique as its members.

YET enrollment is now open through the end of August and programs begin the week of September 14th. Each group is small – so spaces fill quickly.

This year’s Institute will providetwo YET Teen Ensemble Groups (for middle and high schoolers), and one group for younger YETis (4th – 6th graders).

YET takes place on the campus of High Meadow School at 3643 Main Street, Stone Ridge. To sign up or to learn more about Youth Ensemble Theater, go to the organization’s website: youthensembletheater.com.

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
