Exhibit on Midtown Kingston history at Dutton Architecture Local filmmaker Stephen Blauweiss will present a multimedia exhibition titled “Kingston: An Architectural Legacy Then & Now,” featuring more than 100 historic photographs, mostly large-format, with a focus on Midtown. The exhibition, opening with a reception on Saturday, October 21 at 7 p.m., also features video footage, maps, artifacts from lost build-

ings and “then & now” comparisons. Blauweiss, co-director and co-producer of Lost Rondout: A Story of Urban Removal along with Lynn Woods, has had a lifelong interest in history and architecture. “I spent hundreds of hours restoring these old photos to really bring out their full quality and detail,” explains Blauweiss, who received dozens of historic photographs from Bob Haines, Gene Dauner, the Friends of Historic Kingston and others. The exhibition will be held at Dutton Architecture, the former Everett & Treadwell building in Midtown that will

Each gallery will feature informational text to provide history and context, and visitors will receive a free take-home exhibition booklet containing photos and descriptions. “People are really blown away by what Kingston, and Midtown in particular, looked like decades ago,” says Blauweiss, “and people who grew up here have so many stories to tell when they see these images.” Blauweiss received a Decentralization Program grant administered by Arts Mid-Hudson to assist in funding this exhibition, and support from local sponsors. “Kingston: An Architectural Legacy Then & Now” opening reception, Saturday, October 21, 7-9 p.m., free, Dutton Architecture, 15 Canfield Street (behind Barcone’s), Kingston.

The New York State Sheep & Wool Festival will held at the Dutchess County Fairgrounds in Rhinebeck on Saturday, October 21 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, October 22 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

EVENT

Sheep & Wool Festival in Rhinebeck

he New York State Sheep and Wool Festival is one of the largest annual gatherings of fiber-arts enthusiasts in the country. And why is that? The difference between the yarns available at chain stores and the yarns brought to the festival is the difference between fast food and fine dining: One will tide you over and fill a need, but the other fills the soul. Always held on the third full weekend in October at the Dutchess County Fairgrounds in Rhinebeck, this year’s event will be held on Saturday, October 21 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, October 22 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. One-day general admission costs $12 at the gate, with a weekend pass available for $17. Discounts are available with advance purchase online at www. dutchessfair.com and for groups of 25 or more. The Sheep and Wool Festival definitely caters to its audience. Tens of thousands of avid enthusiasts who share a fascination for tactile fibers and hand-dyed, hand-spun yarns have this event on their calendar for the following year before this festival is even over. A large number of interesting and diverse workshops that touch on every aspect of the yarn world are offered beginning two days before the festival proper, but good luck finding an open seat if you haven’t reserved one month in advance. Ah, but the vendors: Many fiber people go to the Sheep and Wool Festival with a little nest egg saved up to splurge on enough fabulous yarns to last the year. It’s hard to explain the passion to anyone who isn’t initiated into the fiber world, but the variety and quality of the products available will knock your socks off (and if that happens, just buy some yarn to knit another pair). Local vendors from the Hudson Valley this year will include Blackberry Hill Farm of Hudson, Catskill Merino Sheep Farm of Goshen, White Barn Farm Sheep and Wool of New Paltz/Gardiner and Hudson Valley Sheep and Wool Company of Red Hook. (Apologies to those left off the list: There are so many vendors that I got tired counting by the letter C, and I was already at 50!) But if you’re going, check out the list on the website beforehand, because the brief descriptions will make you want to note their location at the festival. In addition to the aforementioned fabulous yarns, vendors will have raw fleece, wool roving, shawl pins, patterns, needles, hooks, books, yarn bowls (keeps the ball of yarn from running away while you’re working), felting tools…you get the idea. Drop-in activities include a competition for the fastest knitter on chopsticks (15-minute time limit) and similar crochet and drop-spindle spinning contests. There’s also a used equipment sale of fiber and sheep-related products. Bid on shears, feeders, lambing pens, spinning wheels, looms, carders, shuttles and more – pretty much everything except the fiber. The auction will be held in the main livestock arena on Saturday following the bred ewe, lamb and goat sale. But while the festival does cater to the diehard yarn person, non-fiber-enthusiasts will enjoy many activities at the Sheep and Wool, too. Some are related to the animals who provide the raw materials: sheep shearings, sheepherding demos, livestock exhibits, the exotic fiber animals barn, a petting zoo and a Sunday morning Llama Parade, followed by the Leaping Llamas competition. And there will be plenty for kids to do, including “Mad Science” activities, fiber-based activities with the Saugerties/Woodstock do-it-yourself studio Fiberflame, a read-aloud and frequent canine Frisbee demos. The festival goes on rain or shine. There is a bag check available for shoppers who want to store their purchase until they leave without having to go back out to the parking lot. Bringing a large, foldable bag with strong handles is a good idea, and using a stroller as a shopping cart is not; it clogs up the aisles for everyone else. – Sharyn Flanagan New York State Sheep & Wool Festival, Saturday/Sunday, October 21/22, $12-$17, Dutchess County Fairgrounds, 6550 Spring Brook Avenue (Route 9), Rhinebeck; https://sheepandwool.com.by calling (845) 246-3400 or visiting www.opus40.org.

Kingston rally to celebrate centennial of NYS women’s suffrage

any New Yorkers take pride in our state’s long heritage of being ahead of the curve on (most) social-change issues. As a result, we get to start celebrating the centennial of women’s suffrage nearly three years earlier than the rest of the country. The 19th Amendment to the US Constitution was formally adopted on August 26, 1920. But it was in a referendum on November 6, 1917 that 54 percent of New York’s all-male voters approved the addition of a women’s suffrage amendment to our state constitution, after it had been approved by two successive State Legislatures. Thanks, fellas; we’ll take it from here. Here in Ulster County, the centenary festivities will peak with a live reenactment of a Suffrage Rally in the afternoon of Sunday, October 22. Organized by the Ulster County Historical Society, the Ulster County Clerk’s Office and the Ellenville Public Library & Museum, the gathering will begin around 12:45 p.m. in the vicinity of T. R. Gallo Park and the Maurice Hinchey Promenade on the Rondout waterfront in Kingston, serenaded by the Saints of Swing from the bandstand. The rally will then move on to the Home Port at the Hudson River Maritime Museum at about 1:10 p.m., to be welcomed by Kingston mayor Steve Noble and Ulster County clerk Nina Postupack. The general public is invited to wear period costume if possible, and join in conversations with costumed reenactors whose role will be to engage people in discussion about the women’s rights movement. Beginning at 1:30, actors G. Angela Henry and Lynne McKenney Lydick will offer period speeches to the assembled crowd, portraying Sojourner Truth and Abby Kelley Foster respectively. Question-and-answer sessions will follow. The event will also include a public display of the 16-panel “Ulster County Women of Note” traveling exhibit created in 2016 by the Ulster County Historical Society and the Ellenville Public Library & Museum with funding from a Humanities New York Action Grant. Attendees will have an opportunity to make their own Women’s Rights sash to wear or display, and voter registration tables will be set up by the Ulster County Clerk’s Office. Admission to the Ulster County Women’s Suffrage Rally is free, and all are invited. For more info, e-mail uchsdirector@ gmail.com, call (845) 377-1040 or (845) 647-5530 or visit www.facebook.com/ulstercountywomenofnote. – Frances Marion Platt Suffrage Rally, Sunday, October 22, 1 p.m., free, T.

by the women honorees and SageArts creative artists tell poignant, reflective stories about their dedication to empowering women, advocating for women’s rights and blazing new trails. “We are at a turning point in our society; we have come such a long way since the Suffrage Law was passed 100 years ago,” says Ruoff, “but the question is whether women will continue to rise in

their influence and become truly equal to men. By highlighting the journey of these women artistically, we hope to inspire young women to actively work to create the world they want to live in.” “There are so many women not on this list,” adds Ruoff. “It’s not meant to be an all-inclusive list of all of the top-achieving women in the area. I think of these women as representative of a much larger group.

HAUNTED HUGUENOT STREET IN NEW PALTZ

n addition to its thriving and extravagant Halloween parade, New Paltz has several venerable and crafted haunted house traditions, from the Guenther House’s campy themes rendered and performed in exquisite theatrical detail to the yearly marvel of design, daring and wit that fills the Teen Seen uptown. But let’s face it: MOKKIE FORCELLA | ALMANAC WEEKLY When it comes to hauntings, Huguenot Street has a leg up. Old houses accumulate a sense of spirit, if not actual spirits, and this is one of the oldest continuously inhabited streets in America. But Haunted Huguenot Street is about historical learning and a sense of place, as well as about spooky seasonal fun. It is a series of tours and interactive encounters that runs on Huguenot Street on the evenings of October 20, 21, 27 and 28. The tours will take guests through four historic structures and the burial ground. Come hear centuries-old Lenape legends in the replica Esopus Munsee Native American wigwam; meet past residents of Huguenot Street who experienced paranormal activity in their homes; learn about the rise of spiritualism and séances; and witness the fixation with the “Mysterious Talking Board” that mystified the country in the 19th and 20th centuries. Haunted Huguenot Street tours will depart hourly, beginning at 5 p.m., from the DuBois Fort Visitor Center at 81 Huguenot Street. The final tour leaves at 9 p.m. Preregistration is strongly encouraged, as tours sell out quickly. General admission costs $25 (10 percent off for seniors and military).

NEW PALTZ OPEN STUDIO TOUR THIS WEEKEND

eventeen artists who work in New Paltz will open their studios to visitors for the inaugural New Paltz Open Studio Tour on Saturday and Sunday, October 21 and 22 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day. The focus will be on New Paltz-based artists this year, but the tour may be expanded next year to include other nearby communities such as Highland, Rosendale and Gardiner, says tour coordinator Sylvia Diaz. A kickoff party will be held on Friday, October 20 from 6 to 8 p.m. at Roost Studios and Art Gallery at 69 Main Street in New Paltz. The free event will offer wine, finger foods and music and the opportunity to preview work by the participating artists. Maps with the studio locations will be available at Roost Studios and other locations in town as well as online at the event website. There is no charge to visit any of the art studios, and visitors are welcome to move at their own pace. Those who go on a self-guided open studio tour often find it a unique opportunity to meet and speak with artists in the space in which the work is created, engaging in a dialogue with the artists about how particular works of art are made and seeing work in progress. And some artists offer demonstrations of their technique for visitors. The participating artists are Jim Adair, Nava Atlas, Harry Chaim Tabak, Alexandra Baer, Les Castellanos, Stuart Bigley, Nancy Cohen, Doug Ferguson, Stacie Flint, Deborah Goldman, David K. Holt, Paul Keskey, Howard Miller, Deirdre Leber, Liza Mills, Maureen Rogers and Barbara Holt.

She grew up in the ’60s, when racial discrimination in Kingston was still quite high. Through perseverance, she found a position working for 30 years for Ulster County.” Ruoff explains that it’s not all about the professional achievement, but to recognize all types of service to the community. “The thing about our work is that we do ask the honorees to invest a significant amount of time to go through a collaborative creative process to capture something in their life. They have co-written the songs and the two theater pieces. It’s a big commitment.” “SageArts’ work – to help people better understand the experience of growing older – is very important,” writes Dr. Michael Viega, an assistant professor of Music Therapy at SUNY-New Paltz. “When you are in a music relationship, you are no longer an elderly man or woman, but you are a songwriter, you are a musician, you are a poet, you are an actor. Being in musical relationships shifts the dynamics. Art’s role in providing that avenue is really important.” Concurrently, the unveiling of “Female Wisdom: An Intergenerational Art Exploration” will bring together young and elder women in exploring their experiences, concerns and dreams through a collaborative visual arts project that will serve as a backdrop at the concert. “Female Wisdom” has been coordinated by artist Susan Togut with elders from Woodland Pond: Sondra Sperber, Marcia Thompson, Pat Houk, Purnima Schachter; and teens: Hailey Newton, Carolyn Reeves, Lianna Maley and Nora Preston. Julie Last is concert director, and Joanna Rotté is theater director for this production. The performance, sponsored by the SUNY-New Paltz Music Department, is also supported by funding from Arts MidHudson and the Klock Foundation. The intergenerational visual arts project is funded by the Maya Gold Foundation and Stewart’s Shops. – Ann Hutton SageArts: Carry the Torch, Saturday, October 21, 6 p.m., $20/$15/$5, Studley Theatre, SUNY- New Paltz, Plattekill Avenue, New Paltz; (845) 750-8742, www. sagearts.org.

Roedelius to perform in New Paltz

ans-Joachim Roedelius is a pivotal figure in 20thcentury electronic and experimental music and its ever-shifting dialogue with pop. His earliest work with the important German ensemble Cluster, often described as “Krautrock without the rock,” is emblematic/symptomatic of the first principles and obsessions of the electronic avant-garde: Let the machines do the work, son. There is no pop in sight, but there are abundant and masterful textures and moods, as well as the partly intentional, partly indeterminate motion of machines in conversation. Cluster also distinguished itself from the start as

But as the prolific duo of Roedelius and Dieter Moebius continued (joining forces for a time with Neu! Guitarist Michael Rother and, shortly thereafter, with Brian Eno for a pair of exceptional records), they – especially Roedelius – moved rapidly toward more grounded rhythmic and engagingly melodic work, foreshadowing the genres to be known as ambient and

trance. By the time Roedelius released his solo debut, 1978’s genre classic Durch die Wüste, the parameters of his style were fairly well-delineated: reflective and softy tuneful at times, prone to outbursts of actual rock and interested as ever in weft and pattern and the mind of its own.

~The Experience~ ✴ UNFORGETTABLE ✴

Of the three most frequently tributed and covered rock bands, it is pretty much scriptural that Beatles tribute bands cast on likeness, costume lavishly and teach history (the Fab Faux as the exception that proves the rule). Grateful Dead tribute bands can’t be bothered with much besides the band’s 500-song repertoire, though some try to keep the playing/singing roles aligned on the Jerry/Bobby axis; but if your Phil turns out to be a better Jerry than your Bobby, you roll with it. Right in the middle is Pink Floyd. It doesn’t matter if they look much like Roger and the boys because…light show. Pink Floyd was space rock’s prime stage spectacle, and tribute bands have a fairly high theatrical bar to meet.

Pitchfork Militia to play Falcon Underground One of the longest-running and most distinctive of all regional bands, the power trio Pitchfork Militia plays what might be described eccentric psychobilly and roots-rock with exploratory hard-rock tendencies. Comprised of the fiery guitarist Peter Head, bassist Karl Krause and drummer Joseph P. Morgan, Pitchfork Militia captures some of the loose, spacious interplay of such classic rock trios as Cream and the Experience, but their genre is something else entirely – as the band name implies, they are neither entirely sane nor entirely safe. A true local treasure, Pitchfork Militia will perform at the Falcon Underground on Friday, October 27 at 7 p.m. Ricky Stein opens. Per usual, there is no cover charge, at the Falcon but generous donation is encouraged. The Falcon is located at 1348 Route 9W in Marlboro. For more information, visit www.liveatthefalcon. com.

STAGE paragraphs. Different areas of the brain are engaged. When Charles Rafferty writes a poem, sometimes it’s linear – what we think of as “normal” poetry. But sometimes it truly is rendered as a paragraph, typographically speaking (minus the indent). Here’s a sample published in The New Yorker just about a year ago:

ATTRACTION She collected men the way a light left on collected bugs. It was an old story – money, gravity, the right amount of cleavage. And yet the most successful root never stops fleeing the seed where it began. The cars of two drunks decide to kiss, the lit match gives in to the windy field. Here’s a lesson: When people heard there was an albino deer in the woods behind our house, they set out the apples and corn. That was twenty years ago. The shotgun pellets stuck in our tree continue their slow ascent.

CRAIG DINGMAN

Cheryl Engelhardt as Miss Scarlett in Clue at The Center for Performing Arts in Rhinebeck.

In the conservatory, with the pipe wrench Clue opens this Friday at Center for Performing Arts at Rhinebeck

nybody else excited to see whether Kenneth Branagh’s remake of Sidney Lumet’s star-studded 1974 screen version of Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express will hold a candle to its predecessor? Boasting a powerhouse cast, it’s due in cinemas November 10, and my anticipation is utterly undiminished by knowing how it all ends. A fun way to pass the time while we’re waiting might be to catch a live performance of Up in One Productions’ stage version of the classic board game Clue, whose three-weekend run at the Center for Performing Arts at Rhinebeck is perfectly timed to take advantage of our roused collective fondness for classic whodunits – with the bonus that in this case, the outcome can vary.

Clue brings the world’s best-known suspects to life as they try to solve the mystery of who killed Mr. Boddy, in what room and with what weapon. The audience helps the show’s colorful, quirky characters deduce the solution from clues given throughout the evening as the investigation moves from room to room until the culprit is revealed. Directed by Kevin Archambault, this production features veteran actors Joseph Bongiorno as Wadsworth, Natasha Lende as Yvette, Rob Rowe as Colonel Mustard, Jessie Turin as Mrs. White, Victoria Howland as Mrs. Peacock, Tom Bunker as Mr. Green, Cheryl Englehardt as Miss Scarlet, David Foster as Professor Plum and Kevin McCarthy as Mr. Boddy. Clue opens on Friday, October 20 and runs through Sunday, November 5.

Reading it silently kindles a desire to enunciate it instead, or hear someone else do it – preferably the author’s voice, guiding us through these achingly rich, dense thickets of meaning in a casual, conversational tone. Maybe Charles Rafferty’s visit on October 26 to New World Home Cooking is the excuse that you have been awaiting to rediscover this auditory art. An Arkansas native and Connecticut resident who directs the MFA program at Albertus Magnus College, Rafferty is the author of four collections of poetry. His poems have appeared in hundreds of journals. On Thursday, October 26, Rafferty will read from his newest book, The Smoke of Horses (BOA Editions), as part of New World’s ongoing series

Curtain time is 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, 3 p.m. on Sundays. All tickets cost $22, and the show is family-friendly. To reserve your seats or get more info, call the box office at (845) 876-3080 or visit www.centerforperformingarts.org. The Center for Performing Arts is located at 661 Route 308, about 3.5 miles east of downtown Rhinebeck. – Frances Marion Platt

Lyrical paragraphs Poet Charles Rafferty to read at New World Home Cooking A writer of prose has had a good day when he or she comes up with a turn of phrase or two that, arguably, has never been said quite that way before. A poet enjoys no such luxury; every sound combination, every image must be fresh and arresting. Poetry is the rawest and most demanding of the written arts. On paper, traditionally, a poem is a deliberately arranged visual construction. The layout of lines, even of punctuation matters to the author very much – think of Emily Dickinson and her unsettlingbut-essential em dashes. Theocritus and George Herbert and their ilk took “concretism” to extremes, laboring over verses that formed shapes related to the poem’s content. We can spot a poem from a distance, typically, by the fact that it falls into specific lines. But reading poetry and going to a poetry reading are very different sensory experiences. Unless the writer verbally emphasizes the stop/start pattern of a poem, the prosody, punctuation is left to the listener’s imagination. A long essay in free verse could just as easily constitute

of poetry/spoken word evenings. This reading will begin promptly at 7 p.m., so you are advised to arrive by 6:30 for dinner. Call (845) 246-0900 for reservations. Readings include an openmic session (five-minute limit), which can be poetry or prose. New World Home Cooking is located at 1411 Route 212, between Woodstock and Saugerties.

DANIEL MENDELSOHN & NICK FLYNN DISCUSS HOMER & MEMOIR AT BARD THIS FRIDAY

ard professor and award-winning memoirist and critic Daniel Mendelsohn’s latest book, An Odyssey: A Father, a Son and an Epic, tells the story of a unique father-son encounter, regarding and rendered in the familiar narrative cast of Homer’s The Odyssey, the foundational father/son story of Western culture. When his father, Jay Mendelsohn, an 81-year-old computer scientist, decides to enroll in the undergraduate Odyssey seminar that his son teaches at Bard College, the two find themselves on an adventure as profoundly emotional as it is intellectual. Mendelsohn reads from and discusses the new work at Bard’s Sosnoff Theater in the Fisher Center on Friday, October 20 at 7:30 p.m. Joining Mendelsohn in the discussion is acclaimed poet and memoirist Nick Flynn. The writers will discuss The Odyssey’s themes of deception and recognition, marriage and children, the pleasures of travel and the meaning of home. Flynn is known for his memoir Another Bullshit Night in Suck City, which was adapted into a film starring Robert De Niro (Being Flynn). An audience question-and-answer session and book-signing follows the conversation. Tickets cost $25 and are free for Bard students, faculty and staff, and can be ordered online at http://fishercenter.bard.edu or by calling the box office at (845) 758-7900. The Sosnoff Theater is located at the Fisher Center on the campus of Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson.

Botton and newspaperman Jeremiah Horrigan will read selections from their essays and memoirs. The evening’s only guarantee? Every story is as true – and as extraordinary – as memory and experience allow. Some background: Davis, co-owner of Karma Road Restaurant in New Paltz, is a songwriter, essayist, father and chef. He has produced four albums, won multiple Moth Story Slams and is working on a book of personal essays. Sari Botton edited the popular New York City anthologies Goodbye to All That and Never Can Say Goodbye. She is also editorial director of the TMI Project and essays editor for Longreads, which features great storytelling on the web from hundreds of publishers. New Paltz resident Jeremiah Horrigan is an award-winning newspaper reporter whose essays have appeared in The New York Times, Sports Illustrated, Salon, Almanac Weekly, Memoir Journal and 650 Writers Read. Davis believes that there’s a growing

community of mid-Hudson writers who are coming to realize the potency of their personal stories and an audience eager to hear those stories. “‘True Accounts,’” he says, “is a celebration of how bizarre, surprising and wonderful life is.” “True Accounts: An Evening of Personal Essays” will be held at 7 p.m. on Saturday, October 28 at the Roost Studios and Art Gallery, located at 69 Main Street in New Paltz. Donations are gladly and gratefully accepted. For further information, visit www.facebook.com/events/139 7558727001353/?ti=icl.

Stepping out New Paltz ﬁlmmaker’s documentary about competitive same-sex ballroom dancing to premiere in NYC

he idea came serendipitously, proposed by a friend-who-hada-friend who knew something about competitive same-sex ballroom dancing in Philadelphia. Filmmaker Gail Freedman had just put the finishing touches on a documentary about the making of the 9/11 Memorial for the History Channel, a film that she describes as being “rooted in tragedy…. I think I was searching for something that had a bit more lightness. What attracted me was mostly its beauty and joy. I have a background in music and dance. The more I dug in, the richer the story got.” What she discovered when she checked out her friend’s suggestion was a subject that would consume the next five years of her life. Freedman is a lifelong journalist and writer who made her bones working at CBS (60 Minutes) and ABC (20/20). In the early ’90s, she decided to go it alone as a freelance filmmaker. She has been at it ever since – ever since she realized that what she wanted to do with her life was tell stories. She struck out on her own even as the networks, fueled by endless studies, focus groups and diminishing profit margins, began turning their corporate

backs on long-form television journalism. While the networks adjusted their stories to fit what they believed to be their audience’s shrinking attention span, Freedman adjusted her focus in the opposite direction: “What really makes my heart go pitter-patter is the ability to go deep and long.” She made her first documentary in 1990. Ever since, she has done a lot of PBS work, cable work, foundation and not-forprofit work. “It’s what you do as a working filmmaker; I’ve been able to make a life doing that…. I didn’t go to film school; I went to the film school of hard knocks.” Freedman, who has lived in New Paltz since the late ’80s, says that it may sound corny, but when she went freelance, she wanted not only to tell stories in a fuller dimension, but also to tell stories that could make a difference – stories that reflected her passion for social, cultural and political issues. Hot to Trot, which will have its New York premiere at the end of October, is her latest effort to tell such a story – one that takes the viewer on the same journey of discovery that she herself experienced while making the film. “When we began in 2012, my original conception was frankly more conventional than what eventually happened.” Freedman thought that following the fates and fortunes of four key dancers, two men and two women, would culminate in 2014 with a dramatic showdown at Philadelphia’s Gay Games dance competition. But things change, and Freedman knew that she had to go on the journey with her key players. “That’s part of doing this kind of filmmaking: What was going to happen was going to happen, and their narrative was going to inform my narrative.” What happens – without revealing too much of the story’s twists and turns – includes health crises, relationship changes, familial struggles…and, of course, the dance competitions against which everyone’s struggles occur. Hot to Trot is the intimate account of a little-seen world where personal passion

meets political muscle. In addition to documenting the amazing gracefulness and hard work of the dance, the film focuses on the struggles and conflicts of its four principal dancers: the charismatic Ernesto, a Costa Rican former methhead; Emily, a lifelong Type 1 diabetic, who wears an insulin pump 24/7, even while performing; Russian dance champ Nikolai, who came out only a few years ago and longs for family acceptance; and careerist Kieren, whose identity was forged in a strict New Zealand military environment. The film follows them over time, as their relationships with others, and themselves, develop and deepen. Freedman witnessed – and was allowed to film – developments that were painful to see but that, in the end, contributed to the film’s story: “They gave me access and openness without knowing if or when I was ever going to bring [the film] to completion. But they let me be in their lives, through good times and bad. That’s a privilege, but also a responsibility that I took very seriously.” When shooting began, Freedman said, she thought that they were “ahead of the curve” in dealing with the human and political dimensions of LGBTQ issues. Then, for a time, she felt that maybe the

CHRIS PHAN

film had lost that edge. “But now, it seems more current than ever, in this political and cultural climate. We have a pretty internationally diverse group of dancers. And with all of the debates going on about immigration and diversity and tolerance, we’ve become very topical again.” Her experience has also convinced her that LGBTQ rights are the civil rights issue of our time: “Hot to Trot is an idiosyncratic attack on bigotry; that’s really where it lives for me. We’ve made progress as a society, but we’ve also taken a bunch of steps backwards.” For all its unexpected, newfound timeliness, Freedman said that she’s keenly aware of the pitfalls of political preachiness. “I don’t like to make films where you’re wagging your finger at people. But I think there are lots of ways to change hearts and minds, and I think – I hope – the film will appeal to a broadbased audience.” Hot to Trot will get its New York City premiere at the Newfest film festival at 4 p.m. on Sunday, October 22 at Cinepolis Chelsea, located at 260 West 23rd Street.

MOVIE might seem shorthand, the resolutions sometimes pat; but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a definite feelgood movie, largely on the basis of how splendidly the music delivers. In fact, the viewers at WFF were so uplifted that they gave it a loud, lengthy standing ovation and made sure that it won the Festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Audience Award for Best Narrative Feature. Say what you will about lowestcommon-denominator popularity, sometimes the audience turns out to be right. See Stuck if you get a chance. And if you know any teens or 20-somethings whose Spotify playlists lean heavily toward showtunes, be sure to take them with you. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Frances Marion Platt

Livestreamed Q&A with Al Gore at SUNYNew Paltz screening of An Inconvenient Sequel

Giancarlo Esposito in Stuck

Peeking out from their pigeonholes Stuck is a tuneful ode to NYCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s human diversity

nother Woodstock Film Festival (WFF) has come to a close, and as usual, one mere mortal can only skim the wavetops of all the roiling artistic activity. Just reading about some of the movies I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see is enough to whet my appetite, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sad to know that many of these labors of love will languish in obscurity. The Bachelors, The Ballad of Lefty Brown and Last Flag Flying seem like the surest commercial bets from this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crop, but I want to stoke the fires for a real charmer that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t appear to have found a distributor yet, except for online streaming: WFF 2017â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kickoff Event feature, Stuck. That you might not get a chance to see this movie on the big screen seems downright silly. The premise, in which a cross-section of diverse and damaged New Yorkers bares its secrets during a couple of hours stuck in a stalled subway car together, is not earth-shatteringly original. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s A Chorus Line set in an underground tunnel, more or less, and Stuck is packed with great songs. What with the current Hollywood trend for retro projects like La La Land, the genre-spanning mania over Hamilton and the astonishing drawing power of song-heavy Disney vehicles like Frozen, it would seem that the time is absolutely right for audiences to take this new work â&#x20AC;&#x201C; based on a still-relatively-

unknown stage play by Riley Thomas â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to their hearts. The second feature directed by Michael Berry (Frontera, 2014), Stuck also has considerable star-power going for it. The central character, Lloyd, an unexpectedly wise derelict whose home is a New York City subway car, is played by Giancarlo Esposito, who has spent close to a decade now winning admiration (and a c t i n g aw a r d nominations) among the Breaking Bad/ Better Call Saul fanbase as the hyperchill Chilean drug lord Gus Fring. Who knew that this guy can sing and dance so ferociously as he does in his big number here, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Crazyâ&#x20AC;?? Once youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen him, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough to imagine better contemporary casting. The other â&#x20AC;&#x153;big nameâ&#x20AC;? in the cast is Amy Madigan, who was a singer before she was an actress. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s damned good at both, and will make you weep on cue with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gone,â&#x20AC;? her suburban-church-lady character Sueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s song about grieving for her son (played in flashbacks by Tim Young, who wrote the music for Stuck). Younger audiences will be more familiar with Grammy-winning hip-hop/R & B singer Ashanti, who plays Eve, a woman from a tough neighborhood determined to avoid unwed motherhood

Lloyd (played by Giancarlo Esposito) is an unexpectedly wise derelict whose home is a New York City subway car.

The rest of the main cast consists of massively talented lesser-knowns: Gerard Canonico as Caleb, an aspiring comicbook artist (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Magnificent Maggieâ&#x20AC;?); Arden Cho as Alicia, a dancer (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lookâ&#x20AC;?); Omar Chaparro as RamĂłn, a construction worker with three jobs and three daughters (â&#x20AC;&#x153;MĂĄs que Bastanteâ&#x20AC;?). At first glance, they size one another up as clichĂŠs: Stalker, Ice Queen, Illegal Immigrant and so on. As time passes and they begin to get on one anotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nerves, all the main characters (except Lloyd) are saddled with some cringeworthy dialogue that could have been lifted straight from the polarized world of social-media posts. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only when they burst out in song that they (and we) begin to perceive the vulnerable people beneath one anotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defensive, pigeonholed exteriors. By the end, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve all bonded; and if you really did have to sit in a subway car with half a dozen other people for a couple of hours, the viewer could do far worse than this soulful, lively lot. During the question-and-answer session that followed the WFF screening last week, Esposito said that he was initially drawn to Stuck because its narrative reflects his core personal philosophy of not judging people before you know them. And while thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something quintessentially New Yorky about avoiding eye contact with unpredictable strangers in the subways, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also something universally pertinent about that message about each of us deserving opportunities to make our own case.

Have you seen Al Goreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s groundbreaking documentary on climate change, An Inconvenient Truth, or its recent follow-up, An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power? Did watching either one make you wish that you could be in the audience for one of the former vice presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s live questionand-answer sessions as he barnstorms his way around the country, preaching the gospel of escaping the yoke of fossil fuel? Well, now you canâ&#x20AC;Śkind of, thanks to the magic of Skype and livestreaming technology. On Thursday, October 26, the faculty/student/community Environmental Task Force at SUNYNew Paltz is plugging into a 70-minute livestream session with Al Gore himself, starting at 6:45 p.m. in Lecture Center 100.

“Planting Sacred Seeds in a Modern World: Restoring Indigenous Seed Sovereignty with Rowen White” and guests from the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe at 7 p.m. on Thursday, October 26 in Stone Ridge. The idea, he says, is to figure out a way to create solutions through working with seeds. It’s rewarding work, Greene says, and very challenging: “It’s been a deeply emotional experience for me and everyone who’s been involved – not only to be working with these sacred seeds and entrusted with the responsibility of caring for them, but also to see the cross-cultural

ithout it, the world’s an empty, barren place. It’s what gave us our physical life at the moment of our conception, and it’s what sustains us in our journey through that life. There is no life without seed – and if you don’t believe me, ask Ken Greene. He’ll tell you so with a soft-spoken authority that radiates with passion and knowledge. Greene is the co-founder – call him a progenitor – of the Hudson Valley Seed Library, located on a small organic farm in Accord, in the Rondout Valley between the Catskills and the Shawangunk Ridge. He and co-founder Doug Muller established the Library in 2008. Initially, Greene’s interest was the preservation and proliferation of heirloom seeds that time and the onslaught of corporate agribusiness were destroying. He and a small band of fellow farmers and activists cultivate acres of production and trial gardens, producing hundreds of pounds of seed each year while undertaking breeding projects in the traditional methods of plant breeders. Since its earlier days, the Seed Library has grown and flowered into a seed company that is striving to be more than a successful business: “A big part

of the reason I got into seed and caring about seeds and wanting to share seeds was very social and cultural impulses. I’ve continued that work all along with the development of the seed company, when we decided it was time to really see if activism and education could have its own…roots.” Seeds, as Greene sees it, are connected to issues of social and environmental justice. To that end, Greene and fellow seed enthusiast Shanyn Siegel created Seedshed last year: a not-for-profit sponsored by the Open Space Institute as part of its Citizen Action Program. Seedshed is an effort to raise what Greene calls “seed awareness,” in the hopes of “creating a culture of seed where people have an appreciation of – and

maybe even a little awe for – the role of seeds in their lives.” As part of that effort, Seedshed has joined forces with the Hudson Valley Farm Hub, which is co-sponsoring the Native American Seed Sanctuary, which also launched last year with the critical support of Rowen White, a seedkeeper from the Mohawk Nation of Akwesasne. Greene describes White as “someone who keeps me hopeful about what we’re doing.” She collects vanishing seeds and the stories they contain and reflect from Iroquois and Mohawk communities. “It’s not just the seeds that could disappear; it’s the ceremonies, rites of passage and language that are all connected to these seeds. So when we lose the seed, we also

lose those cultural practices,” Greene says. His belief in the interconnectedness of those social and cultural needs is manifesting on a plot of farmland bordering the Esopus Creek near Kingston, where the Farm Hub is growing Native American varieties of corn, beans, squash and sunflowers. The project’s purpose is more than simply agricultural; it aims to provide education and, perhaps most crucially, help preserve the rich agricultural and cultural heritage of the Native American people. Once harvested, the sacred seeds of the St. Regis Mohawk/ Akwesasne Tribe of northern New York will be repatriated to their home communities to keep these varieties and their stories alive.

relationships that have developed, as well as the cross-cultural healing that’s really happened through this collaboration.” The project forged strong bonds, he says, among the Akwesasne community, Mexican farmworkers, youth from the Bronx, staff at the Farm Hub and many volunteers in the community. The key participants of the project will gather at the end of October to share their stories about how the Sanctuary came to be, why they’re doing it and to explain ways the public can become involved in the effort. Rowen White will be among those people recounting their experiences. The threat that Greene and his fellow seedkeepers feel isn’t abstract or metaphorical; it’s real. He quotes a Mohawk seedkeeper: “Planting corn keeps us connected to our spirit, our community. We have to do it; we can’t just stop, or we will cease to be.”

KEN GREEN | SEEDSHED

Finally, preserving and planting such seeds becomes a way of preserving history and nourishing future generations: “From the perspective of the people involved, seeds are their ancestors. And seeds are also the future; seeds are the children. It’s the only way to continue their culture.” Seedshed will present “Planting Sacred Seeds in a Modern World: Restoring Indigenous Seed Sovereignty with Rowen White” and guests from the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe at 7 p.m. on Thursday, October 26 at the Marbletown Community Center, located at 3564 Main Street in Stone Ridge.

NIGHT SKY

The Big Bang redux Everything you need to know

n 1929, when the brilliant-but-arrogant and widely disliked Edwin Hubble announced that the universe is expanding, he opened up an old argument. Until then, most cosmologists and philosophers believed that the universe is eternal: a condition usually called “the Steady State.” But using California’s new Hooker telescope with its eight-foot-wide mirror, Hubble saw that all galaxy clusters are racing away from us. The farther they are, the faster they go. It suggested a violent natal moment in the distant past. This rate of expansion is called the Hubble constant. A good analogy is a balloon with ants scattered evenly on its surface. Each ant represents a cluster of galaxies. Inflate the balloon and each ant sees its nearest neighbor move slowly away. It observes ants on the far side of the balloon recede fastest. But no ant grows larger. You can easily memorize the Hubble constant: It’s 14 miles per second per million light-years of distance. A galaxy cluster 100 million light-years distant must thus move away at a speed of 1,400 miles per second. Fast! Trace everything’s motion backward (or deflate the balloon) and it all converges, making it obvious that everything started from one spot 13.8 billion years ago. That place of the Big Bang wasn’t anywhere in the universe. Rather, it was itself the entire universe, back when the cosmos was only the size of a mustard seed. The Big Bang happened wherever you happen to be. Once every six to ten years I return to this topic because the whole thing is astonishing, and there are new discoveries. Here are the important basics, along with some new stuff. Item One: Was the universe really so small and hot back then? Yes, for sure. The average density of our cosmos is one hydrogen atom for every five cubic yards of space. This is amazingly close to the “critical density” that would keep it expanding forever. If there were more material, the overall gravity would have made it collapse long ago, before stars and planets and life could form. Also, more matter would make space itself visibly curve. Instead, the large-scale spacetime structure is flat. And if there were less material, we’d see a runaway inflation and a negative saddle-shaped curve to space, which don’t exist. Anyway, this oddly precise and perfectly balanced life-friendly density had to have been present from the beginning. Item Two: Particle accelerators like the Large Hadron Collider show how matter and

energy behave in extremely hot conditions. So we know that when the cosmos was only one-and-a-half minutes old, it would have a temperature that would create a specific ratio of light elements (hydrogen, helium and lithium) with exactly the abundances now seen throughout the cosmos. Item Three: When the universe was a trillionth of a trillionth of a trillionth of a second old, it must have suddenly inflated far faster than light, but only for a billionth of a second. This wild frenzy explains why the temperature and curvature of space are the same everywhere and in all directions. Item Four: Exactly 379,000 years after the Big Bang, the subatomic particles that had formed from the BB’s intense hot energy had cooled enough to create hydrogen atoms everywhere at once. At this moment, dazzling omnipresent photons of light were no longer absorbed and scattered. Space was suddenly transparent for the first time. Now light could fly freely. This light is still present. Because of the continued expansion of space, their waves have been stretched out and weakened, and now emanate from the entire sky as wimpy microwaves. We call it the Cosmic Microwave Background, or CMB. Item Four: The evenness of this glow – uniform to one part in 80,000 – nonetheless has slight knots or bumps where stars and galaxies later formed. It all makes perfect sense. Item Five: The expansion means that anything farther than 13.8 billion light-years from us is flying away faster than light speed. That’s the vast bulk of the cosmos, at least 99.999 percent of everything. We cannot observe or learn anything about it. By contrast, all we see and can hope ever to observe might be called the visible universe. The Big Bang theory accounts for the visible universe’s elements, motion, construction, density and the strange omnipresent CMB. It is specific and successful. But it is silent about a couple of little details. It does not try to explain why an entire universe as small as a mustard seed appeared abruptly out of nothingness. Or how – hotter and denser than anything we can imagine – it briefly inflated faster than light. – Bob Berman Want to know more?

Fungus among us Mycologist John Michelotti to lead mushroom walk in Mt. Tremper on Sunday, give mushroom talk in Kingston on Tuesday

“T

he biggest mushroom in the world is also the largest living organism on the planet,” according to mycologist John Michelotti. The “humongous fungus” (as some have called it) grows underground as a parasite on an Oregon Douglas fir forest, he explains, and is estimated to be 2,400 acres in size and more than 2,000 years old. And its roots can be found right here in the Northeast. That’s just the kind of mushroom lore Michelotti likes to inject into the mushroom walks that he leads through his company, Catskill Fungi. The walks educate people on the history and uses of mushrooms and how to identify the specimens found in our local forests. People always want to know what’s edible and what’s poisonous, of course; but Michelotti says that he likes to take the focus away from the “Can I eat it?” questions and instead inspire the “Wow!” factor of mushrooms. The next Catskill Fungi mushroom walk will take place at the Catskill Interpretive Center in Mount Tremper on Sunday, October 22 from 10 a.m. to noon. The cost is $20 for adults, $10 for kids. Registration may be done on the www. catskillfungi.com website or by sending an e-mail to john@catskillfungi.com. The Kingston Library will sponsor a

free presentation featuring Michelotti on Tuesday, October 24 from 6 to 8 p.m. “Magnificent Mushrooms” will cover the life cycle and functions of fungi, their impact on human history, easy ways to grow mushrooms and the nutritional and medicinal uses of mushrooms. Attendees will also leave with the resources to continue the exploration on their own. Among the topics covered will be mycoremediation, a fungi-based technology used to decontaminate damaged environments where there have been oil spills or toxins in the soil. Michelotti promises an interactive experience for attendees, in which people can try the mushroom-extract tinctures taken as health supplements that he produces from wildcrafted fungi and mushrooms grown on the family farm in Big Indian. Anyone with photographs of

mystery mushrooms can bring those in, as well, for identification. Catskill Fungi also hosts cultivation workshops that teach people how to grow edible mushrooms at home and how to make the mushroom tinctures. There are 270 different types of mushroom thought to have compounds with health benefits, says Michelotti. Chaga is great for boosting the immune system, he says, with very high levels of antioxidants. People take chaga extract to ward off colds, and it’s said to have benefits for the skin and digestion. The reishi mushroom has been called “the mushroom of immortality,” used for 2,000 years, says Michelotti. It was once obtained on search parties sent out by the emperors of China for their exclusive use, illegal for commoners to consume. Today people like the modulating qualities that reishi mushrooms offer, said to help the body regulate blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol when taken on a

regular basis. Lion’s mane mushrooms are another medicinal mushroom, specifically used to enhance brain function. Michelotti can be found with his mushroom tinctures and mushroom art (think printmaking using mushroom spores) every Saturday at the Kingston Farmers’ Market in season.

hen European explorers and settlers first arrived in what is now upstate New York, the indigenous people they found already here – particularly the Six Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy, who collectively called themselves Haudenosaunee – seemed fierce and warlike, but that was true only toward outsiders. Within Haudenosaunee culture itself, keeping the peace was the primary focus of the system of leadership. A sachem or leader of the male council of elders was nominated by the female council, and he could be impeached by the women if he failed to uphold his charge to put all anger and personal agendas aside.

Perrine's Bridge in Rifton

LIBRARY OF CONGRESS PRINTS AND PHOTOGRAPHS DIVISION WASHINGTON, D.C.

HISTORY

LEARN ABOUT PERRINE’S COVERED BRIDGE IN RIFTON THIS SUNDAY

ou don’t have to travel to New England to visit a historic covered bridge. Just four miles north of New Paltz on Route 213 in Rifton is Perrine’s Covered Bridge, the longest-standing Burr arch covered bridge in New York State. Constructed in 1844 to cross the Wallkill River, it is the second-oldest covered bridge in the state – after Hyde Hall Covered Bridge in Otsego County, which was built in 1825. While other important covered bridges at New Paltz and Gardiner are long gone, Perrine’s Covered Bridge remains a revered part of Ulster County’s history. It is a 154-foot-long, single-span timber structure using a truss system patented in 1817 by Theodore Burr of Torringford, Connecticut. The truss comprises a relatively simple kingpost truss that is ingeniously augmented with an arch that helps stabilize the structure. The bridge is named for French Huguenot immigrant James W. Perrine, a descendant of Daniel Perrin, who owned a tavern/ hotel near the bridge site. James was the official “bridge snower,” since his establishment was conveniently located nearby. It was his job to keep the bridge floor covered with snow in the winter so that sleds could cross, thus the term “snowing the bridge.” On Sunday, October 22 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., join knowledgeable members of the New York State Covered Bridge Society at Perrine’s Covered Bridge to inspect its outstanding timber structure and marvel at the beauty of the site. There are many wonderful photo opportunities. This event is part of Ulster County’s Cultural Heritage Week. Mounted displays and brochures will be available.

no decision that did not take into account its effects on seven generations yet unborn. While gender roles were strictly delineated among the Haudenosaunee, inheritance and ownership of property (beyond one’s immediate personal effects like clothing) were matrilineal. Women owned the land and worked communally to provide most of a village’s food, which was shared. Men hunted and fished, trapped and traded and made things out of wood. Individual productivity and responsibility were prized, but no one was allowed to go hungry just because they were too old or infirm to work. There are plenty of good reasons why the Haudenosaunee system of government and social structure are cited as inspirations to the framers of the Constitution and the leaders of the Women’s Suffrage movement; nowadays, proponents of environmental sustainability hold them up as a model for forward thinking. What else can we learn from them? Find out on October 22 at the Boardman Road Branch Library, where the Poughkeepsie Public Library District has invited Onondaga Turtle Clan mother Freida Jacques to speak about her culture, its traditional values, its historical legacy and how it continues to function as a practical approach to life in contemporary

America. Part of the Poughkeepsie Public Library District’s NEA Big Read programs for 2017, “Haudenosaunee 101/Sisters in Spirit” gets underway at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, October 22.

FDR talk by Pulitzer laureate David Kennedy at DCC Pulitzer Prizewinning historian Dr. David Kennedy, Stanford University professor emeritus, will discuss Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s life, presidency and legacy on Thursday, October 19 at 7 p.m. at the James and Betty Hall Theatre on the Dutchess Community College (DCC) campus at 90 Cottage Road in Poughkeepsie. Kennedy is the author of several books including Freedom from Fear: The American People in Depression and War. Freedom from Fear tells the story of the New Deal’s achievements,

without slighting its shortcomings, contradictions and failures. It is a story rich in drama and peopled with unforgettable personalities, including the incandescent-but-enigmatic figure of Roosevelt himself. Kennedy received his PhD in American Studies from Yale. His scholarship is notable for its integration of economic and cultural analysis with social and political history. His 1970 book Birth Control in America: The Career of Margaret Sanger embraced the medical, legal, political and religious dimensions of the subject and helped pioneer the emerging field of Women’s History.

and organs. This interview is to help give an inside look, to break the “fourth wall” in my experience with Stage IV breast cancer. – Erica Chase-Salerno

ERICA GETS INTERVIEWED by Carrie Jones Ross & Madi Ross When did you first realize that this was not survivable? At diagnosis. When the doctors tell you that you are dying, how do they phrase it? For me, it has been more about the way I frame the question: Do I qualify for Hospice? (prognosis of six months or less)? Or, how is my timing affected by this latest cancer spread?

Flattening the fourth wall Erica Chase-Salerno tells what it's like to live when you know that you are dying Q ) Erica, have you softened your attitude toward raisins since your cancer diagnosis? A) Nope!

INTRO

y name is Erica ChaseSalerno, and I believe in the power of curiosity, possibility and love. Also, Stewart’s extra-thick mint chocolate chip milkshakes. I have circled the Sun 47 times, traveled the world beginning with my hometown Schenectady, New York, and I adore the genius humor of Tig Notaro. I have Stage IV breast cancer, which was diagnosed two years ago (like the football championship tradi-

tion, cancer staging employs Roman numerals – but without the halftime show). A former French teacher, I am currently a writer, healer and speaker. I share my life in New Paltz with a brilliant, handsome and hilarious husband, a very cool teen son, a super-talented tween daughter and a ridiculously loud small dog who has my heart. I remember feeling relief at my diagnosis: My disease has a name! I have treatment options! And, yes, I will die of this! With so many family members and friends experiencing invisible or even unnamed illnesses like Lyme disease or fibromyalgia, I grieve the agony of experiencing mystery symptoms. One advantage about starting my cancer journey with a terminal diagnosis is that

Fluid Expressions

I already know my death is coming; I’m just trying to slow it down. I have pursued holistic approaches, traditional allopathic treatments such as chemotherapy, and chocolate. The cancer just keeps coming! I obviously have delicious brains, bones

What are some of the grittier things that happen during chemo that no one talks about (side effects, moods changing, body impact, et cetera)? Have you heard this expression? If you know one person with cancer, you know one person with cancer. Everyone reacts differently. I have not had much, if any, nausea from chemotherapy treatments; I have had periods of fatigue; I sometimes see more impatience than before, in my interactions at home; I have lost and gained weight like going to the county fair – my wallet is lighter but my hips aren’t; aloe vera juice cures any of my constipation. I find that the most dramatic adjustment is my lack of appetite. Is it embarrassing having medical staff always groping your boobs? No, I’m so used to it. But when my liver mets flare up, the exam table looks like a complicated arm wrestle: I’m keeping a free arm to block my doctor from pressing too hard, Mike’s got a hold on that arm plus the other one and my doctor is trying

Rita MacDonald is a visual artist exploring two related bodies of work. In one, she works with images of decorative patterns found in architecture to make large-scale wall drawings that are temporary and site-speciﬁc. In the other, she uses images of decorative patterns found in clothing to make small-scale, often highly detailed, graphite drawings on paper. She has exhibited widely throughout the country including at Wave Hill, Lehman College, Smack Mellon, and Storefront Ten Eyck in NYC. MacDonald has completed several public art commissions including two mosaics in NYC subway stations. Through a grant from the Women’s Studio Workshop in Rosendale, NY she published an artist book that is included in several large collections, including the libraries of the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, MN. and Yale University, New Haven, CT.

to actually palpate my torso.

so they never hear about my updates from someone else. I said that the reason I was attending so many doctor appointments and a hospital stay led to the information that I have Stage IV breast cancer, and that while I would live with it for a while, at some point, it’s how I would die. But that in the meantime, I was still very much here, and I’ll be taking very strong medicines that would probably lead to baldness and feeling sick. They asked how the staging worked, then our son said, “Can we have our root beer floats now?” while our daughter burst into tears. They don’t like to answer people’s questions about how I’m doing, so never ask them. Instead, speak to them about them. They have our permission not to discuss it unless they truly want to.

Why do you think this happened to you? Do you get pissed? A gift of grace dropped into me while I was changing one day: “You Didn’t Cause This.” That was it. It freed me from ever carrying that thought again. From the very beginning, I have felt chosen, cherrypicked to receive this disease. I don’t get pissed about it. However, I get devastated hearing about pediatric cancer – including amazing Ana Dooley, who died earlier this year. What’s that about? Kids who don’t get a regular childhood, toddlerhood, babyhood – that’s where my anger resides. What do you think will happen to you when you die? Do you think we just become worm food? Stardust? Do you believe in Heaven? Reincarnation? My favorite speaker, Neil deGrasse Tyson, scientifically explains what happens when we die, and then he says this: “It is the knowledge that I am going to die that creates the focus that I bring to being alive.” At my passing, I believe my formless shape enables me to go, and be, anywhere and everywhere. I’ll be able to connect and communicate in new ways, including with my husband and kids, so keep an eye out for me! I have a burial dress in a galaxy pattern as inspired by Neil, intuitive healing sessions with my cousin and personal meditations: I feel guided to the stars. I was a hit at SUNYNew Paltz; who knew I’d get to wear it upright, during the recent eclipse? What questions, sentiments, comments or advice from people about your condition really grind your gears? I prefer to connect without your cures. I get it. I have gotten this wrong myself over the decades, and now feel sheepish about the therapies I sent to people impacted by autism and probably a million other things. My overtures came from love, but it was inappropriate; and honestly, it wasn’t loving to do it. I benefit from asking more questions than imposing my own experience, however well-intentioned. Never send me unsolicited information about anything. Unless Stewart’s is having a milkshake sale; then we’re good. What are some cool things the community has done for you and/or your family? My friend set up a neat healing circle in Hasbrouck Park in New Paltz. Once my brain tumors came on the scene, I am restricted from driving, so my kids and I have needed rides to soccer practice, appointments, GameStop, drama class – you name it. I have received countless meals, cleaning help, photo organizing, clearing out my basement and emotional triage. All of this is literally impossible to do without community support. Do people get frustrated when you decline their help? I am so committed to completing this respite (death) room – my salon that I call “Celestina” – exercising, meditating, setting up rides, writing, preparing meals, making errand lists, that my social life has nosedived. I so appreciate the offers to help, and my favorite method is using my blog to list events that members can sign up for. Another favorite is when a

JOHN VOO

ERICA'S CANCER JOURNEY

What happened when I changed the question “For me, I am driven by two main philosophies: Know more today about the world than I knew yesterday and lessen the suffering of others. You’d be surprised how far that gets you.” – Neil deGrasse Tyson

“T

he brain tumors are smaller,” the doctor reported at my radiation follow-up. “Great!” I said, almost reflexively. It’s not much to process: Smaller is good, larger is bad. Got it. No further questions. “Thanks, ’bye!” I didn’t think anything

more about it. At a later appointment with another doctor, I learned that, yes, the tumors showed a decrease in size, but not by much. “Wait, what? But...but…but…” It had never occurred to me to ask how much shrinkage had actually happened. At the next follow-up to my follow-up (if this cancer weren’t in the process of killing me, I would probably die of neverending follow-up appointments), I was as relentless as the telemarketers who hound my Do Not Call-listed number. What Would Neil deGrasse Tyson Do? “So, how much smaller are we talking?” I persisted, demanding more than a “smaller/bigger” comparison. And then, out of utter exasperation, this doctor changed everything with one question: “Why don’t I just show you?” My mind exploded. All of my imaging was at hand on the computer. I just never thought to ask to see it before: It was never offered before, and it never came up. He showed me my imaging from spring and fall, comparing the sizes of each brain tumor with a cool digital ruler. Watching my scans with my own eyes, interpreted and explained by my doctor alongside, helped me take control of processing this information about me, my body, without relying exclusively on his words. At these follow-ups, I don’t want story – I want science! Seeing the screen myself, I was able to integrate his reporting with actual numbers along with visuals. Thanks for reading. Head On and Heart Strong! – Erica Chase-Salerno

friend randomly texts me and says, “Here are a couple of days and times that I am free to help out this week, to do whatever/ gardening/errands et cetera.” Would you share some of your deeper fears? When I think of dying, I feel like a traveler embarking on a marvelous adventure. When I think of goodbyeing, I get sad thinking about missing my family and friends. I would be so sad if I were the only person to ever die, but none of us get out of this thing alive! I have lived long enough to welcome new

godchildren while watching the older ones growing up; to see each of my own kids reach personal milestones. That I’ll never get my backhand right. Feeling like I’ll fade away and be forgotten isn’t something I carry with me, because that part isn’t actually about me. I feel increasingly detached from things that are not important like they used to feel, such as material possessions. I’m more about practicing patience for completion of my window installation, feeling joy listening to the Hamilton Mixtape, laughing while watching Best in Show for the zillionth time and taking fabulous naps. Why are you driving around a golf cart? Um, it’s a Kawasaki Mule ATV, thank you very much! We named her Moxie: inexplicably my daughter’s favorite beverage, which she describes as a combination of cough syrup and motor oil. After a spontaneous ride in my friend’s Mule – my first time! – my parents worked with Mike to surprise me with Moxie. Tooling around, taking out the garbage and schlepping stuff to the garage has now been transformed into fun! How did you tell your kids? My husband and I prepped root beer floats on the counter. We told them as soon as we got home from the diagnosis appointment, and we have done that ever since: They are always the first to know,

How have they responded? What are their attitudes? My kids don’t exactly know cancer; they know daily life, which has included my cancer for these past couple of years. They appreciate that we tell them, even when some updates are boring or hard for them to hear. When my hair grew in before falling out again, my daughter said I looked weird with hair. Right? Plus, the timing is pretty good, because as they get older, our son takes longer showers than he used to, and since I’m bald, I don’t need shampoo, conditioner or shaving time! Hot water for all! How about your folks? My parents are very supportive, despite how brutal I think this dying process is for them. Same with my brother, sister, niece, in-laws, extended family on both sides et cetera. I am surrounded by love. I imagine if things were flipped, and I were my husband’s caregiver and witnessing his end-of-life experience, I’d be devastated and depressed. Tell me about your husband’s attitude and support. My husband is the smartest, handsomest and funniest person I know. He stands by me every step of the way, including every appointment, draining my chest catheters every three days when I had tubes for 18 months, and we just keep rolling. His responsibilities around here are massive, and he is incredibly patient every time I forget what we’re talking about in mid-sentence. He and I also have plenty of differences of opinion, such as my rewards to myself for cancer novelty (“Cancer rewards are not a ‘thing,’” he says, and I’m like, “I just said it, so now it’s a ‘thing.’”). Brain tumors for the first time? Get the skirt! Newbie at radiation? Yeah, I want that totebag! My lifespan just got reduced again due to the cancer spread? Ah, sandals on clearance: Don’t mind if I do! Tempers run short sometimes; we are up very late just to get daily life done. This summer, I declared that was Our Last Fight. We have been together for 28 years, and I finally came to the realization that we are never going to change. We’ll adjust course, we’ll soften the edges of our irritations; but the deep stuff has been cultivated for a long time. We don’t need to keep arguing about “Fight #37” anymore. Most of our conflicts are, and have been, around my talking too much, and his talking too little. Been there, done that. Now I take clever workarounds like Fast & Furious movies, and our communication feels improved. I am witnessing how I’ve been holding anger in a punitive way, and I had no idea until trying the silent treatment again (he loves the silent treatment – keyword: silent). Just that awareness alone has made a huge difference in my life. I love him more deeply each day, I’m serious. On writing. I am the most fortunate person on the planet, being able to work with encouraging writers and editors who are the best in the business and fill my heart with “Yes You Can, Keep Going, Say More!”

Resources. Know anyone with cancer? I strongly recommend the Reuner Cancer Support House in Kingston, which offers a variety of support groups, events, activities et cetera: www.hahv.org/hahv/cancersupport-house.aspx. “Sparrow’s Nest of the Hudson Valley provides two meals, once a week, to the families of caregivers and children diagnosed with any type of cancer. Caregivers are defined as legal guardians of children, under the age of 18, living in the home. Caregivers and/ or children diagnosed with any cancer that requires chemotherapy, radiation or surgery qualify. All recipients must live within a 20-mile radius of the charity’s Health Department-approved kitchen in Hopewell Junction.” This free program means the world to our family: https:// sparrowsnestcharity.org. Breast Cancer Options is located in Kingston, but it offers advanced breast cancer support groups around the area.

Harnessing the wind ~ Harvest yourself, taught by Seth Liberman. In this workshop explore the relationship between Yoga, Ayurveda, the Fall season and yourself. Ayurveda recognizes Autumn as a time of year when the wind element, or “vata dosha,” has a tendency to become aggravated. As a result, we often experience an increase in anxiety, stiffness and restlessness. Ayurveda offers practical ways to reduce the effects of out-of-balance elements through food, lifestyle, yoga and other self-care techniques. Ayurveda & Yoga offers an integrated approach to health, wellness and spiritual growth. We will discuss the basics of Ayurveda and vata dosha, learn to identify how vata appears in our bodies, minds and emotions, learn how to remedy imbalances, and do a yoga practice tailored this element. Simply by bringing awareness to how vata and the elements appear in our lives, we may come into closer harmony with ourselves and our environment. Bring a notebook & dress for movement.No prior experience with Yoga or Ayurveda needed.

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

Grape expectations It’s time to purge my less-than-favorite varieties

ith more than 5,000 varieties of grapes from which to choose, how can anyone decide which to grow? For better or worse, that choice is naturally limited by climate and pests in each part of the country. Here in the Northeast, major limitations are humid summers that spread indigenous disease and frigid winter temperatures. There are still plenty of grape varieties from which to choose – which I’ve done over the years, weeding out varieties that would succumb to cold or disease. My varietal possibilities are further limited by my low-lying land close to acres upon acres of forest. Cold, moisture-laden air sinks into this low spot, and the abundance of wild grapes clambering up forest trees provides a nearby reservoir of insects and disease spores. With all that, I want to grow varieties that taste good to me (fresh, not for wine). I have dairy-farmer-cum-grape-breeder Elmer Swenson to thank for many of the delectable varieties that bear well here, and that I would recommend to others. His Somerset Seedless was ripe back in August, as was his seeded Swenson Red. Right now, the seeded variety Brianna – one of my favorites for flavor – is just finishing, just after Edelweiss and Lorelei. Edelweiss has the strong, “foxy” flavor characteristic of American-type grapes, so is not for everyone. That flavor is most familiar in the well-known variety Concord, originated by Ephraim Bull in Concord, Massachusetts over 150 years ago. I finally got around to planting a Concord vine a few years ago, and finally decided this year, despite my affinity for grape foxiness, that I didn’t like Concord’s flavor. Mr. Swenson isn’t responsible for all my favorite grapes. There’s Alden, with a nice, meaty texture to go with its distinctive flavor; and two excellent seedless grapes: Glenora and Vanessa. I’m going to rip Concord out of the ground – as well as Cayuga White, which also didn’t make the flavor cut, and Mars, which gets too much disease – and replace them with additional vines of Glenora and Vanessa. The jury is still out on Wapanuka, Reliance and NY Muscat. All my “keeper” varieties bear reasonably well and are bursting with distinctive, delicious flavors such that I cannot, even when grape season has passed, bring myself to eat the relatively flavorless varieties generally offered from supermarket shelves. How are your onions holding up? Mine, not so well. I knew that the giant Ailsa Craig onions weren’t keepers. But they shouldn’t be already turning soft and smelly. Some sleuthing uncovered the culprits: the bacteria Pantoea agglomerans and/or its cousin P. ananatis, both of which can be lumped together in the affliction called “center rot.” The symptom is rotting of one of the rings (scales) somewhere between the center and the outside of a bulb. Most plant diseases are caused by fungi rather than bacteria, and fungal diseases are

generally easier to control. Even pesticide sprays are not very effective against either onion pathogen. Warm, moist conditions are what have allowed the Pantoea cousins to thrive this year – which is not to say that I plan to sit back and watch my onions spoil in future years, or give up growing onions. I already rotate my onion plantings, which would have been my first plan of attack. Although now that I think of it, though, I do often stick a few of various types of onions and excess seedlings here and there around the garden. No more. The environment can be made less friendly to the bacterium. Mulching the plants would keep the soil cooler. Especially a few weeks before harvest, any watering should cease. Nitrogen fertilization also needs reining in, which would be hard to do in my garden because I fertilize only with compost. Perhaps mulching would cool the soil enough to slow the compost’s mineralization of soluble nitrogen that plants could absorb. Onion varieties vary in their susceptibility to center rot. Generally, it is the sweet European-type varieties, such as Sweet Spanish, Candy and Ailsa Craig, that are most susceptible. Harvest can play a role also. Too early, before leaves have sufficiently dried and flopped down, and the bacteria might be able to edge their way into the bulb. I normally harvest when tops flop down and bulbs easily roll out of the soil (good), then leave them in place to cure in the sun (bad). Next year, I’ll roll them out of the soil and then move them to a shaded, airy place to cure. Or lay them out in the garden so that each onion’s leaves cover its neighboring onion’s bulb. All these measures are worthwhile, even if your onions have always looked fine. Center rot bacteria are pretty much ubiquitous, just waiting for good enough conditions to ruin your (and my) onions. – Lee Reich Any gardening questions?
