EVENT

Red Hook & the Chocolate Festival this Saturday

T

he fourth annual Red Hook & the Chocolate Festival celebrates the Dutchess County town’s long and historic association with the wildly popular and somewhat mystical/medicinal food. The Chocolate Factory was founded in Red Hook in 1888 by William H. Baker. Baker was no relation to the older and more famous Walter H. Baker Company, whose production of chocolate began in 1780 and whose name was synonymous with chocolate in America for a time; but Red Hook’s Baker was not above exploiting the coincidence to promote his business, starting what became known as the “chocolate wars.”

At the height of production, 20,000 pounds of chocolate were produced each day in Red Hook. New techniques in refrigeration changed the chocolate game in the early 1920s. The declining Red Hook factory was sold to the Walker Candy Company, which closed in the 1932.

The Festival, which takes place in the streets of Red Hook on Saturday, November 4, is a diverse chocolate-themed affair that combines the useful, the fun and the delicious. The day includes a chocolate-tasting demo led by Dan Budd at Taste Budd’s Café on West Market Street; “The Chocolate Wars,” a dessert-making competition for kids; Chocolate Olympics at the Red Hook Public Library; a Willy Wonka-themed event at “Chocolate Headquarters,” with prizes for Golden Ticket-holders; a skateboard race sponsored by the Board Room skateboard shop; a horse-and-wagon stroll through the streets of Red Hook; chocolate-tastings throughout the village and much more.

Red Hook & The Chocolate Festival is presented by the Red Hook Chamber of Commerce. For a complete description of events, times and places, visit www. redhookchamber.org.

W

idely considered the most accomplished and well-known adult with autism in the world, Temple Grandin, PhD speaks at the Paramount Theater in Middletown on Thursday, November 9 at 7 p.m., presented by SUNY-Orange. Grandin’s life, struggles and accomplishments have been the subject of a major motion picture as well as features on NPR, the BBC, The Today Show and more. Currently working as a professor of Animal Science at Colorado State University, Grandin will give a talk titled “The Autistic Brain: All Kinds of Minds Can Succeed.”

Tickets prices will be $10 for general admission, $5 for children (under 15) and free for college students with proper ID. Note that there is a $2 processing fee per ticket. The Paramount Theater is located at 17 South Street in Middletown.

For more information, visit www.sunyorange.edu/culturalaffairs.

Space is limited. Preregistration is required with ticket purchase at https:// countryhouseconference.eventbrite.com.

The program will explore 300 years of the diverse history of the country houses of New York, from Colonial-era farms and manors to the grand estates of turnof-the-century “robber barons.” Speakers will include David Byars, deputy managing editor at Vogue, whose book Our Time at Foxhollow Farm: A Hudson Valley Family Remembered chronicles the story of Tracy and Alice Olin Dows and their early-20thcentury Rhinebeck estate, Foxhollow Farm.

The Dows were distantly related to the Roosevelts. Franklin arranged for one of the Dowses’ children, Olin, to paint the murals at the Rhinebeck Post Office in 1940 (reputedly after another distant cousin, Daisy Suckley, put the bug in his ear to do so). And Thomas Wolfe wrote seven chapters of Look Homeward, Angel

while living in the guest house of the family estate in the summer of 1927.

SUNY ULSTER SPECIAL EVENT THE SUNY ULSTER THEATRE PROGRAM PRESENTS

Country House Conference at Mills Mansion in Staatsburg

The Mills Mansion at the Staatsburgh State Historic Site was once the Gilded Age home of Ruth Livingston Mills (1855-1920) and her husband, Ogden Mills (1856-1929). Originally built in

1832 as a 25-room Greek Revival structure, a Stanford White-designed extension enlarged the property in 1895, creating the Beaux-Arts mansion of 65 rooms surviving today. With its ornamental exterior featuring balustrades, floral swags and a massive portico, and an interior filled with an eclectic mix of objets d’art and curios from Europe, ancient Greece and Asia alongside carved and gilded furniture, Oriental rugs and ancestral portraits of the family, the Mills Mansion is characteristic of the great country estates built in the 19th and 20th centuries by America’s wealthiest families.

This Saturday the grand mansion will host an all-day Country House Conference on November 4 from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. The cost is $65, which includes four lectures, a panel discussion, lunch and a special house tour of the mansion.

SGANARELLE

by Molière

Directed by Stephen Balantzian November 15 - 18, 7:00 p.m.

November 19, 2:00 p.m.

Quimby Theater The greedy and domineering Gorgibus is forcing his daughter Célie to marry the wealthy Valère, but she is in love with Lélie and he with her. Célie, in distress at her impending marriage to Valère, faints in the street, and Sganarelle, who is passing by, attempts to revive her. In the process she loses her miniature portrait of Lélie which ends up in the hands of Sganarelle and his wife. These two events set off a series of mistaken assumptions and quarrelling: Sganarelle’s wife believes that he and Célie are lovers; Sganarelle believes that Lélie and his wife are lovers; Célie believes that Lélie and Sganarelle’s wife are lovers; and Lélie believes that Célie has secretly married Sganarelle. A model Molière farce of misunderstanding and mistaken identity, that grows more tangled with every passing scene!

Start Here. Go Far.

4 When Tracy Dows died in 1937, the home was inherited by his three children, with his wife Alice getting another family property: the Beekman Arms. Eventually she would sell that to a consortium of investors in Rhinebeck for $35,000; and the Foxhollow estate, along with most of the land, was sold to Vincent Astor, son of John Jacob Astor, who went down with the Titanic.

The Dowses’ daughter Deborah used her share of the proceeds to buy back 200 acres of the “south land” on the property from Astor for her Southlands Farm, which operates today as an equestrian center with public hiking and snowshoeing trails.

Also speaking at the Country House Conference will be Alison Spear, an awardwinning architect and interior designer, who will speak about the renovation of Obercreek Farm in Wappingers Falls.

Randy Lamb, museum educator and site manager at Hyde Hall, a neoclassical country house north of Cooperstown designed for wealthy landowner George Clarke (1768-1835), will give a talk about the Clarke family and their home, which was the largest private residence in the country at the time it was built: between 1817 and 1834.

The lectures will take place in the marble dining room at Mills Mansion, which “couldn’t be a more appropriate setting for talking about Gilded Age mansions,” says architect and historian Gary Lawrance, who, along with architectural conservator T. R. Hamilton, is coordinating the conference in cooperation with the

MoMA PS1 (an extension of New York’s Museum of Modern Art) presents a career retrospective, “Carolee Schneemann: Kinetic Painting.” The exhibition considers Schneemannn’s work within the context of painting by tracing the developments that led to her groundbreaking innovations in performance, film and installation in the 1970s, as well as her increasingly spatialized multimedia installations from the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s. Curated

by Sabine Breitwieser, director of the Museum der Moderne Salzburg, and consulting curator Branden W. Joseph, Frank Gallipoli professor of Modern and Contemporary Art at Columbia University, “Carolee Schneemann: Kinetic Painting” runs through March 11, 2018.

Taken as a whole, Carolee Schneemann’s six-decade career as a painter and conceptual performer positions the artist at the center of a number of revolutions in both the practice and understanding of modern art. A longtime New Paltz resident, Schneemann was a central figure in the New York downtown avant-garde community of the 1960s and beyond, pioneering hybrid artistic forms and experimental theater. In later decades, Schneemann would incorporate experimental filmmaking into multimedia installations.

HISTORY

November 2, 2017

THE BOOK IS POSITIONED AS A CELEBRATION of nature’s fragile ecosystems and of the David v. Goliath community members ( for David’s tactics, in this case, were largely litigatory) banded together to protect them. But in the moment-to-moment of the prose and in the very consciously balanced, 360-degree management of his facts, Carleton Mabee reveals himself mostly as a fastidious historian and no polemicist at all.

Vying for the vista Black Dome publishes Carleton Mabee’s final opus, Saving the Shawangunks

S

aving the Shawangunks: The Struggle to Protect One of Earth’s Last Great Places is the last manuscript completed by the Pulitzer Prizewinning historian and long (long, long)-time Gardiner resident Carleton Mabee. An avid outdoorsman and amateur naturalist, Mabee finalized the text not long before he died in December of 2014, just one week shy of his 100th birthday. Mabee’s labor-of-love swan song – a rich and acute ecological/ cultural/political narrative of his beloved Shawangunks and their preservation – was signed and sealed, but the project still required much stewardship to be delivered. It was published this week by Delmar’s excellent Black Dome Press, which specializes in books of regional and natural significance. It features a stunning full-color portfolio of photographs by Nora Scarlett and a smart introduction by Cara Lee, senior conservation manager at the Nature Conservancy and herself an important player in Mabee’s narrative of resistance.

With a light touch, the publishers and Lee frame Saving the Shawangunks as the story of committed grassroots activism fending off moneyed development, in various forms, again and again over the course of decades, providing a case study for savvy and efficacious environmental action that would resonate far beyond the tracts of land that are Mabee’s explicit concern. The book is thus positioned as a celebration of nature’s fragile ecosystems and of the David v. Goliath community members (for David’s tactics, in this case, were largely litigatory) banded together to

protect them.

But in the moment-to-moment of the prose and in the very consciously balanced, 360-degree management of his facts, Mabee reveals himself mostly as a fastidious historian and no polemicist at all. In fact, if the editorial polarity were reversed and the title modified, isolated but sizable portions of Saving the Shawangunks could almost be used to lionize the “other side:” those who struggled, in vain, to advocate for desperately needed economic development and to protect native ownership rights against an influx of well-to-do recreationalists with little meaningful investment in the region’s economic health and little reliance on its tax base. Or so the story might have gone.

We can safely assume that Carleton Mabee did not feel that way; the point is simply that he plays by the strict rules of the historian/observer. He is subtly analytical but never overtly opinionated. If his narrative sways the

reader toward a heightened desire to protect the environment, in general and in our neighborhood, that is perhaps due more to the reader’s own moral awakening than to any proselytizing on Mabee’s part.

Certain interpretations of these facts are inevitable, others wide-open to debate.

Kudos to Black Dome, too, for positioning Nora Scarlett’s portfolio of Shawangunk photographs as a block of unnumbered pages more than halfway through the book and not distributing them evenly as narrative support (additional images and artifacts are plentiful). This both recognizes the integrity of Scarlett’s work as a standalone, modular complement to Mabee’s and reminds us that Saving the Shawangunks is not a coffee-table book.

It is a serious work of microhistory.

The story moves swiftly and chronologically from the early days of the Mohonk and Minnewaska resorts (and others), when environmentalism was a Teddy Roosevelt thing and the local balance of business and natural vigilance was more or less stable, untaxed by population growth and the earliest waves of urban flight. The first major disruption is the attempted Marriott purchase and development of the Phillips family’s Minnewaska property. The ensuing struggle over tax abatements, concerns over water supplies and the formation of local opposition groups (backed in several key instances by national

watchdog groups) forms the centerpiece of Mabee’s story.

It strikes me as especially significant that in Marriott’s own version, as recounted by Mabee, the hotel giant’s withdrawal after six years of committed pursuit and millions spent is credited not to the work of the local advocacy groups, and not even to the assessments of New York’s Department of Environmental Conservation and New York’s longstanding reputation as a thorny place to do business. Instead, Marriott blamed a single, un-appealable decision made in a federal court regarding space for the expansion of a golf course. On the one hand, the anecdote speaks of the corporation’s refusal to allow that grassroots efforts prevailed; on the other, it makes us question whether in today’s environment of deregulated slash-and-burn capitalism, that federal court would have reached the same instrumental decision.

With a catalyzed local and multiorganization environmental movement in full swing, Mabee goes on to document the formation of the area’s many rail trails and other protected spaces, struggles between New Paltz and Lloyd regarding retail development and the loss and protection of farmland. The second major narrative in the book regards the Awosting Reserve development proposal and its “Save the Ridge” opposition. Here again, Mabee’s narrative delves into details of protracted litigation, identifying all the players by name, many of whom are still our neighbors, teachers and leaders.

Saving the Shawangunks is no mere scrapbook history composed of the minutes of meetings, newspaper clippings, interviews and condensed timelines of various assaults and defenses of the Shawangunk mountains. Sometimes, Mabee’s hand is so steady, his voice so lucid in its aggregation of narrative bits and pieces, that it is easy to miss the fact that there is a good deal of active interpretation and historical contextualization going on here – regarding the dawning of environmental consciousness from Thoreau to the present, regarding the

It would take three more years to achieve passage of the 19th Amendment providing women the right to vote in national elections, but that earlier statewide victory in New York was a key moment in the battle.

To commemorate the centennial anniversary of that milestone, a special program will be hosted by the Time and the TIME & THE VALLEYS MUSEUM Valleys Museum in Grahamsville on Sunday, November 5 at 2 p.m. “The Right to Vote: 100th Anniversary Commemoration” The women in the photo are all sisters: Eva, Mary, Nellie, Harriet and Nancy Smith.

changing residential and recreational habits of Americans in the postwar years and regarding the chronic rifts in our community: a definitive struggle between growth and preservation and those vested in each.

That rift, never called such by the author, peeks through again and again in these pages, or at least will to local residents who are sensitive to the area’s complex cultural dynamics. It receives what is perhaps its fullest and most appreciable expression at the dichotomous conclusion of Mabee’s recounting of the Awosting Reserve/Save the Ridge conflict of the early 2000s. Following the sale of John Bradley’s Awosting Reserve properties to a conservation group, Mabee writes: “Pam O’Dell, who was by this time was the Republican candidate for Gardiner supervisor, was appalled that now conservation groups were ‘poised to swoop down to purchase the property at roughly half its market value.’ [Full-value offers from other parties – including Robert DeNiro – were declined because the

suitors wouldn’t waive the right to future development.]

“Save the Ridge’s [Patty Lee] Parmalee, while she was still holding her breath about the outcome, reported, ‘I walk outside at night by my house and I look up at the Ridge, all dark and silent, and I realize it may now stay that way forever.’”

Concern for value and the fragile

conditions of prosperity, and concern for the aesthetics of experience and the sustainability of living environments: In the way he engineers this moment of dialogue that never really happened, Mabee displays an intuitively deep understanding of the rift and the region.

A lot of complex questions, implications, perspectives and futures begin, rather

than conclude and resolve, in Carleton Mabee’s final work.

NATURE Westward ho!

First phase of New Paltz’s River-to -Ridge Trail nears completion

W

ork continues apace on the visionary project to link Ulster County with Orange and Dutchess via a decades-long process of converting disused railway corridors into rail trails. It may take another five or ten years before you can hop on your bike in either the Catskills or the Taconics and end up at the other (cheering the hearts of local innkeepers with your tourist dollars along the way), but the links are inexorably falling into place.

At this point, the most obvious gaps forcing cyclists and through-hikers onto the shoulders of heavily trafficked roads are concentrated in and around New Paltz.

Work is supposed to begin next year on an off-road connection between the Hudson Valley Rail Trail, on the Highland side of the Walkway over the Hudson, and the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail, which will now take you all the way up to the outskirts of Kingston.

But if you’re coming to New Paltz at all, your primary sightseeing destination is likely the Shawangunk Ridge. Bicycling up there via busy Routes 299 or 44/55 or Mountain Rest Road means taking your life in your hands. Avid cyclists in the New Paltz area have been agitating for decades for an alternative route west of the Wallkill River to the Shawangunk Ridge and now the Open Space Institute (OSI) is making it happen. The first section of the River-toRidge Trail, while not yet officially open or fully landscaped, is now walkable. The rest of it is projected to be completed in 2018.

JULIE O'CONNOR | ALMANAC WEEKLY

Avid cyclists in the New Paltz area have been agitating for decades for an alternative route west of the Wallkill River to the Shawangunk Ridge and now the Open Space Institute is making it happen. The ďŹ rst section of the River-to-Ridge Trail, while not yet officially open or fully landscaped, is now walkable. The rest of the trail is projected to be completed in 2018.

OSI’s specialty is temporary acquisition of threatened parcels of land – or conservation easements thereon – to protect scenic viewsheds, farmland, wildlife habitat and recreational resources, before turning them over to municipal governments and/or local conservation trusts for management in perpetuity. In 2013, OSI protected 400 acres of the Wallkill Flats.

That’s the area just west of town that now actually resembles a trail, work having begun shortly after completion of the reconstruction of the Carmine Liberta Bridge.

This section of trail heads out due west along the north side of 299, then zigzags back northeastward a bit toward the riverbank, turning north to parallel the Wallkill alongside a cornfield that in autumn whispers in the wind off the Ridge.

In June, OSI installed the largest piece of infrastructure associated with the trail: a large concrete box culvert, 15 feet in width

and weighing an estimated 70,000 pounds, on the west side of the Wallkill. This culvert is built to withstand flooding while safely carrying the trail over the floodway channel. If you have taken a walk through this area recently, you may have noticed a mysterious padlocked mailbox standing nowhere near any dwelling or place of business. Turns out, according to OSI’s communications director Eileen Larrabee, that it has served as the temporary home of stormwater permit documents and inspection reports that are required to be kept at the physical jobsite. “We expect the mailbox to be removed this week,� Larrabee told Almanac Weekly on October 30.

The next phase of construction heads west from the point where the Riverto-Ridge Trail crosses Mountain Rest Road, along the so-called “New Paltz/ Foothills conservation corridor,� much of which consists of the 135-acre property that OSI acquired from the Watchtower

organization for $2.1 million in 2015.

A parking area, picnic benches and informational kiosk are planned for the trailhead area adjacent to Mountain Rest.

As the trail wends its way uphill toward the Ridge and crosses Lewis Lane, it will split in half, with a “fast lane� for cyclists and a “slow lane� for pedestrians. Just after entering Mohonk Preserve lands, the trail, now rejoined, will cross Butterville Road and link up with two alternate routes up to Mohonk’s Duck Pond area: Pine Road and Lenape Lane. From there, you can access 90 miles of carriage roads and foot trails that will take you all over the Gunks, including the Minnewaska State Park Preserve and Sam’s Point.

This western segment of the River-toRidge Trail is now on target for completion sometime in 2018, though the rate of progress is “obviously weather-related,� says Larrabee. As of presstime work was still underway, with two culverts installed on October 19. “The culverts improve drainage, wildlife connectivity and wetland habitat,� Larrabee adds. In addition to wooden fencing and buffer plantings, finishing touches will emphasize the agricultural heritage of the corridor, including the addition of live cattle to three paddocks being constructed alongside the trail.

The completed River-to-Ridge Trail will extend for six miles, providing stunning, ever-changing views of cliffs, fields, woods and wetlands. Sounds like it will be worth the wait. Meanwhile, take a peek at OSI’s map: www.openspaceinstitute.org/places/ river-to-ridge-trail. – Frances Marion Platt

By a waterfall High Falls Conservancy seeks reminiscences of Splendor in the Grass filming

A

major highlight for old-timers in the lovely, tiny hamlet of High Falls was the period in 1960-61 when Hollywood came to town to film Splendor in the Grass. Director Elia Kazan had a summerhouse in High Falls, and chose the hamlet’s eponymous cataract to stand in for a makeout spot for Kansas high-schoolers in the 1920s. If there’s anyone still around who has personal recollections or family tales – or even photographs – about the period when the movie’s production was going on, the High Falls Conservancy would love to hear from you at highfallsconservancy@ gmail.com. No date has yet been specified for a gathering or an exhibit, but stay tuned for further details.

Gazing up at those falls today one cannot help but wonder whether Kazan ever asked playwright/novelist William Inge, who won an Oscar for the film’s screenplay, whether they even have elevation changes like that in the state of Kansas. But no such suspension of disbelief is required when contemplating

Warren Beatty's big-screen debut was Splendor in the Grass, which co-starred Natalie Wood. The movie, which was directed by Elia Kazan, came out in 1961 and was filmed near Kazan's summerhouse in High Falls.

the appeal that such a spot might have to young lovers. There’s just something terribly romantic about waterfalls. And this one not only offers splendor aplenty, but is also easily accessible; there’s parking right nearby, just off Route 213 by the hydroelectric generating station.

Nowadays, teenagers mostly flock to the area on hot summer days to wade in the stretch of the Rondout immediately downstream from the lower falls. Although swimming is no longer permitted, officially, movie buffs can still stroll over the rocks in the spot near the

upper falls where Deanie and Bud, the characters played by Natalie Wood and Warren Beatty (in his first big-screen role), had their unconsummated tryst. Kayakers and canoeists can put in their boats on the south bank near where a panicky Deanie leapt into the water to escape the attentions of Toots (Gary Lockwood) – though it’s advisable to paddle upstream rather than risk getting washed over the lip of the falls, as the movie’s heroine nearly did. (You might want to stick to more sensible shoes for ambling around the water’s edge than Wood’s gold high-

If you’re a teacher, a friend of teachers or someone who appreciates the role of teachers in society, chances are good that you’ve heard spoken-word artist Taylor Mali perform his justly famous poem, “What Teachers Make” (www.ted.com/talks/taylor_mali_ what_teachers_make). It’s a modern classic in three minutes, and Mali – a former teacher himself, though he’s now described in his official mini-bio as “one of the few people in the world to have no job other than that of poet” – expanded it in 2012 into a bestselling book, What Teachers Make: In Praise of the Greatest Job in the World.

A superstar of the contemporary spoken-word movement, Mali used to be the president of Poetry Slam, Inc., the not-for-profit organization that oversees all poetry slams in North America. He has a brand-new chapbook out, titled The Whetting Stone; past poetry collections include Bouquet of Red Flags (2014), The Last Time as We Are (2009) and What Learning Leaves (2002). Mali appeared in the documentaries SlamNation (1997) and Slam Planet (2006) and the Peabody Award-winning HBO production, Russell Simmons Presents Def Poetry (2003).

Teacher! Teacher! his one-man show about poetry, teaching and math, won the Jury Prize for Best Solo Performance at the 2001 Comedy Arts Festival. He also does voiceovers and records audiobooks.

“Taylor has evolved from the slam-poetry scene into a true bard of contemporary life,” says cultural journalist Seth Rogovoy.

“What he brings to his spoken-word art is that same sense of urgency and connection with his audience that informed his slam performances. Plus, he’s as funny as any standup comedian, and he’s not afraid to aim his wit directly at himself.”

Rogovoy is bringing Taylor Mali to Club Helsinki on Sunday, November 12 at 7 p.m. as the next monthly installment in his Rogovoy Salon music, literary and art series. Typically, an interview and/or audience question-and-answer session follows the performance. Tickets cost $15 and can be reserved by calling (518) 8284800 or visiting http://helsinkihudson. ticketfly.com/event/1559848-taylor-malirogovoy-salon-hudson.

ERICA’S CANCER JOURNEY

Magic!

L

ooks like there’s a new magician in town, and it’s me! The same way Tanya Solomon impossibly teleports balls, or my son dramatically burns a wallet with real flames, I can apparently manifest a dop!

What is a dop, you ask? I made it up: You know that puffy, adhesive electrode disc that Muggles use to measure heart rate? Dot + puff = dop.

I discovered my new gift when I woke up this morning and found a dop stuck to my

Who knew my liver and brain were in such an intense competition to kill me? left torso. I delightedly told my husband about the magic that had arrived. He stared, unmoved. “Okay, so do it again.”

“No!” I protested. “We can’t just summon magic; magic must come to us.” He simply walked away. “Magic!” I yelled after him.

My son expressed the same reaction as my husband. Okay, so perchance this dop is simply a vestige from my slate of tests that day.

This has been one of the hardest weeks of my cancer journey, and I never saw it coming. On Thursday, I had a routine weekly appointment with my oncologist: very straightforward, not much to report.

On Friday, everything changed. I woke up with a slamming headache. Since I haven’t been playing football or pondering physics in an apple orchard, I knew it was the brain tumors acting up. As they grow, they push against the midline, causing pain and swelling. My doctors moved into an intense action plan to get treatment as quickly as possible, since they are growing so rapidly.

were in such an intense competition to kill me?

This week’s daily appointments in preparation for stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) brain radiation have been challenging because of coordination among multiple medical offices, including actually finding the offices; constantly shifting dates and times; and ongoing pain from fasting, injections, IVs, flat metal scan tables and mental fatigue from trying to keep track of it all. My left arm looks like the Aurora Borealis. My scalp is so sensitive that crafting and getting my new, tight radiation mask on and off is its own exquisite hell.

I even screwed up one scan by banana.

Turns out, NPO is Latin medicalese for “Do Not Eat” (Nil Per Os), which my husband has helpfully renamed for me

“No Panera Orally.” I am obsessed with broccoli cheddar soup and turkey avocado sandwiches right now.

My husband estimates that my innate worth has grown 47 cents due to the three new tiny gold seeds in my head (probably as close as I’ll ever get to wearing a tinfoil hat). This metal trio is smaller than rice and glued onto my skull to help point the radiation beam to the correct spot in my brain. My husband was delighted that the doctor jokingly said he could bring his own drill along. These seeds, which I call “Brain Bling,” are fiducials; yet, apparently despite being gold, do not hold fiduciary value. But they stay in forever, so keep watching the market!

Turns out, the timing worked well for these tests, because copies of my imaging made for great, spooky Halloween

decorations. I also have three tiny new dot tattoos around my hairline. They look like freckles. Me: “Now, can you please draw

These seeds, which I call “Brain Bling,” are fiducials; yet, apparently despite being gold, do not hold fiduciary value. a…” “No, it’s just a dot.” Me: “How about a…” “No.” Things change, right? It’s the very definition of life. Lots of treatments hurt. We all have lots of big feelings. We all experience life as tragedy and comedy.

Buddhism says 10,000 joys, 10,000 sorrows. Daylight Savings ends Sunday morning.

This week, I found myself digging deeper into my emotional toolbox than ever before. I have also nicknamed myself “Panera-ca” (rhymes with Erica). So, to be blessed by a magic dop? Yes, please.

Getting ready for bed that night, guess what I found on my right torso?

Head On and Heart Strong!

This one’s for my pal, Allie Vreeland, who transitioned this week after her own Stage IV breast cancer journey, just turned 30 years old. So long, sweet Allie.

NIGHT SKY

Free telescope Just explain why you want one

L

ongtime readers will know that I’m a big advocate of naked-eye and binocular astronomy – meaning, no telescope. This may seem odd, considering that I love optics and adore the unbelievable instruments at my Overlook Observatory. Some of you – over 2,000 in all – have been there since it opened in 1982, as part of the twice-yearly classes for people in our area that I conducted for 30+ years, or perhaps as a child in one of the many school, UCCC, scout or church groups who came for an evening.

On the other hand, I’ve watched too many people purchase telescopes, and maybe contact me to collimate the optics and give a lesson in its use, only to learn that they used the instrument once or twice and then never again.

That’s because most folks are not “hands-on� when it comes to the sky. Ours has become a smartphone and iPad age, when folks stare at screens. Many of us old-timers lament that young people are not doing kayaking, birdwatching, telescope-making or any of a myriad of hands-on hobbies that were prevalent when we ourselves were kids.

Moreover, if you have a ‘scope, you need to know where to point it, or else you’ll just look at the Moon and maybe Jupiter and that will be the end of it.

Also, the better telescopes, like any tool, require that one learn how to use them.

There are setup steps. They’re not instant point-and-shoot items. Not everyone has the patience.

All that said, surely there are youngsters (or adults) who have come to study the sky and would love a decent telescope. “Decent� means a sturdy tripod that will not wiggle, and optics that are larger than the common cheap 60mm refractor – preferably at least four inches – and even a motorized mount that tracks the object so that it stays in the field of view. Such instruments cost upwards of $400, sometimes much more.

I have two that I want to give away to someone who needs one. They both came because the widows of guys who either took my class or read my books and were serious amateur astronomers have passed away. The family members want the instrument to go to a worthy recipient. I receive such offers periodically, but only accept good telescopes that I can personally vouch for. So my question is: Who wants one?

Are you a teacher, or member of an astronomy club, or parent of someone who’s really

I have two that I want to give away to someone who needs one.

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

Overabundance of greens

I

don’t know if was a case of green-thumbness or the weather, but my bed of endive is now almost as frightening as a zucchini planting in summer. The bed – three feet wide by 20 feet long – is solid-green with endive plants, each and every plant looking as if it has been pumped up on steroids.

I sowed seeds in four-by-six-inch seedtrays around August 1, “pricked out� the seedlings into individual growing cells filled with homemade potting soil about a week later and transplanted them into

Upcoming cooler weather also brings out the best avor in these plants. the garden in the beginning of September.

The bed had been home to one of this summer’s plantings of sweet corn (Golden Bantam), a heavy feeder, so after clearing the corn I slathered the bed with an inch depth of pure compost.

Perhaps the vigor of these plants also reflects the extra space that I gave them.

In years past, I would cram three rows into a three-foot-wide bed. Because we never can eat all the endive that I plant, this year I planted only two rows down the bed. Hating to see any wasted space in the garden, I set a row of lettuce transplants (now eaten) up the middle of the bed.

The endive plants have opportunistically

expanded to fill whatever space they can.

Fortunately, there’s no rush to eat all that greenery. The bigger they get, the more the endives’ leaves fold in on themselves to create blanched, succulent leaves of a loose head. Upcoming cooler weather also brings out the best flavor in these plants.

After being covered with clear plastic, which I’ll support with a series of metal hoops, the endive should remain flavorful for weeks to come.

That’s assuming that the muscular plants can be fit beneath the hoops and plastic. I do have a Plan B: Just as zucchini bread was invented as a way to deal with zucchini excess, white bean and escarole soup might be just the ticket for my escarole “problem.�

Another bed, planted from seed sown on August 15, is also full of greenery. Not nearly as dense, though – which is okay, because the bed is planted for its roots. Up the bed run two rows of turnips and one row of winter radishes.

One year I couldn’t see the turnip and radish bed because I had hidden it beneath a “floating row cover.� Floating row covers, which let water, light and air pass through, are so lightweight that they can be just laid on top of the ground to be pushed up by growing plants. That year, I made it even easier on my plants by propping the covers up with the same kinds of metal hoops that will hold the clear plastic over the endive bed once the weather turns cold.

The row of hoops propping up the plastic creates a tunnel that, every year, looks like a sleeping giant white caterpillar.

Night Sky columnist Bob Berman last year at Overlook Observatory

into astronomy, but doesn’t have a telescope? Or are you a library trustee, or afterschool club teacher? Or maybe it’s you yourself.

In concert with two teachers, the three of us will read letters from anyone who wants one of these telescopes. It will be free, but we want to know: 1. How long have you been into astronomy, or been in an organization like a library that might want a telescope for members to borrow? 2. What kinds of sky observations have you made? 3. Do you know the names of any stars or constellations? And, 4. Why do you want a telescope?

That’s it. We are simply trying to find people who have a serious and continued interest in astronomy, as opposed to someone for whom it’s just a quick passing fad. One of the donors specifically asked that if the person does not continue with the hobby, please to return it. Well, I’m not going to hassle the recipient periodically and make them pass any tests on their usage. But I do want to know at the outset that this is a person who is deeply involved and is likely to continue to be, or a member of some organization that will supervise its utilization.

Night vision Michael Varys’ Instagram pics capture Poughkeepsie after dark

M

ichael Varys has had no formal training taking pictures, but he was a reporter for 25 years, including five years at the Daily Record in Morris County, New Jersey and 15 years at the Poughkeepsie Journal. “I was fortunate to work with some amazing photographers over the years,” he said, “Bob Karp at the Daily Record and Spencer Ainsley, Darryl Bautista and Karl Rabe at the Journal. I watched how they approached a shot and how they always searched for a different or unexpected point of view. So I think I learned a lot

through osmosis. But mastering the technical aspects of the professional cameras they used intimidated me and prevented me from trying photography.

Thank God for Droid phones. Now even a technical idiot like me can take great photos.”

Varys is inspired by photos that show “a story well-told and getting folks to think about issues and people they might otherwise never h av e t h o u g h t about or known.”

That’s why he loved being a reporter. He left journalism about five years ago and really misses telling stories.

He thinks taking photos has given him a new way to tell stories: “Hopefully, people like them.”

Varys grew up in Madison, New Jersey and has lived in New York City and on Cape Cod. “I came to Poughkeepsie to take a job at the Journal in 1997 and didn’t know a soul,” he said. “I don’t think I could spell ‘Poughkeepsie’ at the time. I met the love of my life, Lisa Cardinale, in 1998 at the old Brady’s Publick House in Poughkeepsie, and I’ve called the city

home ever since.”

Why is Poughkeepsie so prominent a subject for him? “I’m a diehard New York Mets fan, so I guess I love the underdog.

That’s how I view the City of Po u g h k e e p s i e .

It tries and tries, and even if it falls short more often than not, it never gives up. If it gets knocked down, it gets back up.

The people of Poughkeepsie are like that. They’re resilient. I’m always rooting for the city to come back and win. And someday it will.”

He started with #PoughkeepsieAfterDark about a month ago. He works from 4 p.m. to midnight and stopped in the 7-Eleven on Hooker Avenue, not far from his house, to pick up ice cream around 1 a.m. one night on the way home. “Sitting in my car, I was struck by the store’s neon sign.

“I’m a diehard New York Mets fan, so I guess I love the underdog.

That’s how I view the City of Poughkeepsie.”

All photographs by Michael Varys | #PoughkeepsieAfterDark

So I took my phone out of my breast pocket and shot a few frames through the windshield. I thought they came out pretty good and captured the feel of the city at night: quiet and lonely, but beautiful.”

Since that night, he has been driving around to spots around the city that he thinks “might capture that vibe.”

Sometimes he has a specific locale in mind. At other times, he’ll drive by a spot that he never noticed before. “So I’ll get out of my car and take a few shots that I think might be good,” he said. “Usually, there is no one else around when I’m taking photos. A few times, police officers in their patrol cars see me, slow down to take a look and drive away. I’m sure they’re thinking, ‘What the hell is this guy doing out here in the middle of the night?’’’

Varys’ love/hate relationship with

Poughkeepsie is definitely more love than hate. He says that he gets angry and frustrated sometimes that Poughkeepsie still struggles with crime, poverty and all the other social ills with which most cities grapple. He wants the city to get better; and it is getting better, but the pace of improvement maddens him at times. “But Poughkeepsie is a great city.

I love the people, the Hudson River, the restaurants, the diversity. The good definitely outweighs the bad. I never in a million years envisioned myself living here. But 20 years later, I’m still here. I’m home.”

Animals

Because of a grant, anyone in Ulster County can call the UCSPCA clinic to make an appointment to have a Feral Cat Spayed or Neutered at no cost to them. A rabies shot is included and the cat’s ear will be clipped.

The cat must be brought to the clinic in a cat trap in order to get the freebie. Call The SPCA in Kingston 331-3577.

FOR ADOPTION- SWEET GRAY & WHITE TUXEDO CAT BOY. Alder is a handsome, gentle young adult who was rescued as part of a recent Trap- Neuter- Return project. He’s made it very clear that he’s friendly, not feral, so he will not be released back to the colony. He’s had enough of the mean streets & wants nothing more than to be a part of a good home. Alder is humble, grateful & a big sweetheart. He weighs about 10.4 pounds of pure love, is estimated to be a young adult under 5-years old & has been neutered, rabies vaccinated & tested
