VETERANS DAY ORIGINATED as “Armistice Day” on Nov. 11, 1919, the first anniversary marking the end of World War I. President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed legislation in 1954 to change the name to Veterans Day as a way to honor those who served in all American wars.

here are more than 20 million military veterans in the US. Even so, their experiences are largely something that civilians can only imagine. An opportunity to bridge that gap is one of the reasons that organizers of the fifth annual Veteran Arts Showcase this weekend at the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library in Hyde Park are encouraging civilians to attend, and experience all the activities planned alongside current and former members of the Armed Forces and their families. The three-day event will be held Friday through Sunday, November 17 to 19. Admission is free. An opening reception will kick things off on Friday at 5:30 p.m., with a Presentation of Colors and opening remarks by Paul Sparrow, director of the FDR site. Refreshments and hors d’oeuvres will be served. A short program of civilian and veteran presentations will follow, then a meet-the-artists reception from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m.

their families. The visual arts provide a powerful conduit through which a vet can confront and express his or her experiences, recover from the aftereffects of war and reconnect with fellow veterans once home again. The healing power of words will be displayed t h r o u g h presentations all weekend by writers, musicians, poets and performers who will interpret the military experience, allowing civilians to better understand the connections between themselves and those who have served. A Korean Warera Army Jeep will be on display, and demonstrations will include meditation and Tai Chi. A Warrior Writer Workshop will be held Saturday from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. for up to 12 participants. Space is limited, so preregistration is required at coxeverett@gmail.com. A series of guided exercises, feedback and group discussion will offer service

members, vets and military families the opportunity to explore their journeys and share them with others. The Warwick Valley Wire Choir Orchestra will perform at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday. T he group, composed of students in fi f t h t h r o u g h 12 th grades, has played at a variety of community events since the group formed 13 years ago under the direction of Elissa Maynard, whose father is an Air Force veteran who served in Vietnam. Jerry the Bulldog (a band) will follow, leading off an afternoon of live music and spoken-word presentations by vets. The newly formed rock band features vet and singer/songwriter/guitarist John Irizarry, with the emphasis on music that tells a story. The rest of the band is made up of guitarist Kane Armistead, bassist Randy Sutter and drummer Larry Neumann, a Navy veteran. From 4:30 to 5:30 p.m., an open-mic civilian/

TASTE Tossing Contest is a team effort: The pitcher tosses a pickle chip to the catcher, who must catch it in his or her mouth, then spurt it into the counter’s jar. Gold, Silver and Bronze awards are conferred upon the top three winners in each category. The Brookses have been trying to retire gradually from their management of this event for about three years now, with the Rosendale Chamber of Commerce now the official Festival sponsor. But they’re still the ones to contact if you want to enter some of your own specialties into competition. Eligible categories in the Home Pickling Contest include Kimchi, Dill Pickles, Sweet Pickles, Pickled Onions/Garlic, Dilly Beans, Pickled Fruit, Pickled Beets, Pickled Veggies, Pickled Brussels Sprouts, Chutneys, Fermented Liquid or Semi-Liquid Products and Miscellaneous. A Best of Show ribbon will also be awarded. Competitors are limited to three entries in any combination of categories. Submit two jars of the same item for each entry (one for display, one for judging), each labeled with the nature of the contents plus the entrant’s name, address, phone number and e-mail address. Drop them off at the Rec Center by 11 a.m. on the day of the Festival ( judging begins at noon), or arrange an appointment to drop them off earlier in the week by e-mailing picklelady16@ yahoo.com. Admission to the 20 th annual Rosendale International Pickle Festival costs $5 per adult; kids get in free. The Rosendale Community Center is located at 1055 Route 32, just south of its intersection with Route 213.

Dill of a lifetime 20 th annual Rosendale International Pickle Festival on Sunday

T

he Rosendale International Pickle Festival makes its 20th appearance this Sunday, November 19 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Rosendale Recreation Center. It was founded by local garden center proprietor/town historian Bill Brooks, his wife Cathy and their friend Eri Yamaguchi, who missed the traditional tsukemono of her homeland. What started out as a Japanese dinner party for 200 soon turned into a celebration of all things pickled that attracted about 1,000 people the first year, and by now, 5,000 or more annually. From the beginning, it has also been a fundraiser that benefits different community projects each year. A highlight of the Pickle Festival is always the county-fair-style competition for home-fermented concoctions, but it’s also a fun gathering for those more interested in tasting pickle products than in creating them. Some 100 vendors setting up shop both inside the Rec Center and in and around the large tent outside will offer pickled foods of myriad descriptions (including the legendary deep-fried pickles-on-astick), other prepared foods to round out your meal, crafts and packaged gourmet products. Repeat visitors know to expect live music and dancing from many ethnic traditions – as diverse as there are types of pickled foods around the world – for most of the day. Late in the afternoon, the Pickle

veteran jam will happen. Saturday evening features a 7 p.m. performance of Nothing Means Nothing by Larry Winters, author of the memoir The Making and Unmaking of a Marine. The one-act play features veterans Tom Nolan, Mike Harelick and Brian Lepak addressing many of the questions that arise about the veteran experience, including Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The playwright and actors will hold a question-and-answer discussion after the performance. Information about effective therapies for PTSD will also be available to visitors at the event. Sunday’s schedule will include another civilian/veteran open-mic jam from 2 to 4 p.m., followed by the Nimham Mountain Singers, a Native American group based in the Hudson Valley who share their Algonquin culture through traditional song and dance at various schools and events. The art gallery will be open all day. The Veteran Arts Showcase is a collaborative effort among the FDR Presidential Library and Museum, the Veteran Family Support Alliance and the Orange County New York Arts Council, with additional support from the Mill Street Loft in Poughkeepsie and outpatient art therapy programs at the VA Hudson Valley, Montrose campus. – Sharyn Flanagan

edicated as ever to the relevance and the spectacle of orchestral music under the direction of Randall Craig Fleischer, the Hudson Valley Philharmonic has dreamed up an extravagant fall performance titled Antarctica: music inspired by nature accompanied by spectacular projected images of the Earth’s vanishing ice cap by filmmaker Jon Bowermaster. The program for the show is equally splendid, featuring Debussy’s brilliant orchestral poem La Mer, Smetana’s Vltava and the featured piece, Ralph Vaughan William’s Symphony No. 7, the Sinfonia Antartica, performed with the Vassar College Women’s Chorus and projected images with narration by Bowermaster. Antarctica will be performed on Saturday, November 18 at 8 p.m. at the Bardavon 1869 Opera House, located at 35 Market Street in Poughkeepsie. Ticket prices range from $20 to $57 and are available at the Bardavon box office, by calling (845) 473-2072 and via Ticketmaster. For more information, visit www.bardavon.org. – John Burdick

The Sebastians

ALMANAC WEEKLY editor contributors

Sunday, Nov. 25, 2017 @ 8:00 pm Doctorow Center for the Arts 7971 Main Street, Village of Hunter Tickets Purchased Ahead: $25; $20 seniors; $7 students At the Door: $30; $25 seniors; $7 students For more information or to purchase tickets go on-line to www.catskillmtn.org or phone 518-263-2033.

The Sebastians present a program of elegance, wit, and passion in a journey back in time through through two of Mozart’s important artistic centers—Salzburg and Vienna. The Sebastians top off this program with their signature rendition of the Follia by Antonio Vivaldi, who settled in Vienna in his final years. The centerpiece of this varied program is Mozart’s Concerto in A, K. 414, which will be performed by Yi-heng Yang on a fortepiano built in the style of Mozart’s own instrument, recreating the incisive and dramatic sounds of his musical language. Not only does the stylistic juxtaposition of Mozart with his Baroque predecessors cast the beloved Classical genius in an arresting new light, but the combined collection of composers becomes a fantastical historical journey through two of Europe’s most musical cities. Catskill Mountain Foundation is funded in part by the New York State Council on the Arts, the Jarvis and Constance Doctorow Family Foundation, the Samuel and Esther Doctorow Fund, The Greene County Legislature through the Cultural Fund administered by the Greene County Council on the Arts, Bank of Greene County, Greene County Youth Fund, Marshall & Sterling, Stewart’s Shops, Windham Foundation and by private donations.

BSP IN KINGSTON HOSTS BIG TAKEOVER 10TH ANNIVERSARY BASH ON WEDNESDAY

I

haven’t kept notebooks about this, but it seems likely to me that when the Big Takeover celebrates its ten years of bandhood at BSP in Kingston, it will be the first local band to headline the huge back-room theater (usually capped at about 600, as opposed to approximately 200 in the front room, where avant-rock legends Pere Ubu put on a singularly bizarre show last week). Fair is fair and earned is earned. The Big Takeover, a delightful original reggae and rock-steady band in the Desmond Dekker mode with a dash of Motown, has been packing literally all of the local venues – regardless of the clubs’ stylistic biases and parameters – for all ten of those years, stepping up its national touring in the last few. If I wanted, I could speak to the irony of BSP – the local club founded on an explicit antipathy toward the prevailing styles of Hudson Valley music – hosting the anniversary of a reggae band, but it is a truth widely acknowledged: Warm bodies is warm bodies, and the Big Takeover produces them like few others around here. And also: The Big Takeover are no trustafarian hedonistas, repurposing island grooves for bro bliss. BSP knows this. Jamaican-born singer/songwriter Nee Nee Rushie and bassist/musical director Rob Kissner are very serious about this music, the fine points of its styles and the many complex contexts of its meaning. They deserve the back room for reasons artistic as well as commercial. The Big Takeover celebrates ten years on Wednesday, November 22 at 7:30 p.m. at BSP, located at 323 Wall Street in Kingston. Tickets cost $10 in advance and $12 at the door. In a nice booking touch, the Jonny Monster Band will open. The blues/rock phenom Jonny Klenk was the Big Takeover’s original guitarist, before he took his game to Knoxville a number of years ago.

A

central figure in the rockabilly revival of the late ’70s and early ’80s, Robert Gordon coexisted with punk and New Wave. He shared in its effort to overthrow the silly extravagances of rock and reconnect with the urgency and pith of rock ‘n’ roll. In fact, he started out as a kind of aboriginal New York punk in the band Tuff Darts, but his heart was after something else. His self-reinvention materialized in 1977, with the auspices of a genuine rock ‘n’ roll cat right in the album title: Robert Gordon with Link Wray. Gordon’s music and look strictly forbade contemporary influence. He was/is a retro fundamentalist, a curator and interpreter who follows the old way: the separation of writer and performer. Gordon has claimed only a handful of cowriting credits throughout his prolific 40-year career, but few people know the old repertoire like this fellow does. When Colony in Woodstock booked Robert Gordon, I imagine there was very little doubt or even conversation about whom to lock down as the support act: Lara Hope & the Ark-Tones, of course – the mid-Hudson Valley’s own ardent rockabilly aficionados. Hope is no purist. She writes her own tunes and pillages styles far outside the boundaries of trad rockabilly; but this is a hell of a bill. Robert Gordon and Lara Hope & the Ark-Tones perform at Colony at 22 Rock City Road in Woodstock on Saturday, November 18 at 8 p.m. Tickets cost $20 in advance, $25 on the day of the show.

ROSENDALE THEATRE TO SCREEN NATIONAL THEATRE LIVE: PETER PAN

W

hile it’s tempting to ascribe some sort of contemporary relevance to a classic play about a vain, boastful boychild who refuses ever to grow up, perhaps Peter Pan is best enjoyed in the wistful purity of its familyfriendly original 1904 stage iteration. (We can leave the satire to J. M. Barrie’s more pungent works like The Admirable Crichton, a jolly, acerbic tale of accidental class upheaval that cries out for revival in this heyday of the one-percenters.) But if your default version of the story is Disney’s 1953 animated Peter Pan, which you can no longer bear to rewatch because the cringeworthy “ooga-booga� Indians number makes you want to scrub your eyeballs with bleach, then you definitely owe it to yourself to get reacquainted with the stage play ASAP. Happily, the National Theatre of London recently hosted a revival of the original, directed by Sally Cookson. The genderbending main cast included Paul Hilton as Peter, Madeleine Worrall as Wendy, Saikat Ahamed as Tinkerbell and Anna Francolini as Captain Hook. A taped performance via National Theatre Live will be screened at the Rosendale Theatre on Sunday, November 26 at 2 p.m. Hard to imagine a better place to take the kids to wind up (or wind down) Thanksgiving weekend. Tickets to National Theatre Live: Peter Pan cost $12 general admission, $10 for Rosendale Theatre Collective members. The Rosendale Theatre is located at 408 Main Street (Route 213) in Rosendale.

Much of his output is just what you’d expect: sturdy and supple roots/rock with a post-Dylan lyrical sensibility. But in the course of a career that is now 15 years along, the Bay Area native has thrown more than a few curveballs, my favorite of which is the taut, lightly psychedelic production rock of 2010’s Till the Light Comes. Greene has been back on the new-Dylan, newNeil Young rails since then, but he is quite good at that, too. Radio Woodstock presents the serious top-tier modern roots ace Jackie Green in a solo performance at the Bearsville Theater on Friday, December 1 at 8 p.m. Ticket prices range from $25 to $45.

STAGE reappeared in several other iterations. While rooted in the lighthearted commedia dell’arte tradition and not as politically provocative to the French aristocracy and the Church as, say, Tartuffe, Sganarelle pokes fun at universal human frailties – notably our tendency to jump to conclusions based on flimsy evidence. The plot of the play might be described as a farcical version of Othello, with the

Molière wrote the title role in Sganarelle for himself and continued to star in it throughout his career.

S

hakespeare, whoever he may really have been, has few arguable rivals as a creator of dramatic entertainments, in terms of breadth of genre as well as command of language. But when it comes to stage comedy alone, Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, better-known as Molière, certainly gives the Bard of Avon a run for his money. Given our current political and cultural zeitgeist, it seems like a great time to revive the venerable art of satire, of which the 17th-century French playwright was a master par excellence.

The Theatre Department at SUNYUlster is doing its part already, with five performances planned this week of Molière’s Sganarelle. It’s an interesting choice in not being among his more familiar and frequently re vived plays in modern times. However, Sganarelle – alternatively subtitled The Imaginary Cuckold or The SelfDeceived Husband – was the most popular of the playwright’s works in his own time; he wrote the title role for himself and continued to star in it throughout his career. The character of

Sganarelle made his debut in Molière’s very first play, Le Médecin volant, and DE PARTM E NT

jealousy-inspiring MacGuffin in this case being a carelessly dropped pocketsized portrait rather than a purloined handkerchief. There’s also a terrible impending arranged marriage, as many absurd misunderstandings as you’ll find in The Comedy of Errors, a happy ending of sorts for most of the characters and a humiliating comeuppance for the bad guy. “Even when you see everything, never believe anything,” Sganarelle warns the audience at the very end: perhaps a timely caution in this era of “fake news” and trial-by-social-media. Directed by Stephen Balantzian with a student cast, the SUNY-Ulster production of Sganarelle will be performed in the Quimby Theater at 7 p.m. on Wednesday through Saturday, November 15 to 18, with 2 p.m. Sunday matinée on November 19.

n one of life’s little ironies of the sort that would make Dirk Gently or Bokonon say, “See? Nothing is coincidental!� your humble film reviewer is marking her golden anniversary of being a lapsed Catholic by finding a new home next door to a church. The sound of the carillon at inexplicable intervals, the shrieks of kids at recess and the odd waft of frankincense are evoking flashbacks of my own parochial school experience. One of those is the memory of being told that seven is considered, in the Church, the Age of Reason. You don’t have to go to confession before that, because you don’t understand the consequences of acting on your childish impulses. That’s about where we find the tiny protagonists of Sean Baker’s much-

lauded new movie The Florida Project. The most prodigious actress of her age since QuvenzhanĂŠ Wallis won an Oscar nomination at age six for her role in Beasts of the Southern Wild (2012), Brooklynn Prince is a certifiable marvel channeling Moonee, the ringleader of a rabble of kids living on the brink of poverty in cheap, candycolored Orlando motels. Moonee and her pals Scooty (Christopher Rivera), Jancey (Valeria Cotto) and Dicky (Aiden Malik) are all about finding daily fun and wonder wherever they can in the seedy outer orbit of a Magic Kingdom that their struggling families cannot hope ever to bring them to visit. Having learned from mostly terrible parenting that being manipulative is a key survival skill, the kids encounter a surprising degree of success in wheedling ice cream out of gullible tourists; but they always share it. They seem happy enough, but theirs is a precarious paradise, a shiny

bubble on the verge of popping at any moment. We the audience can see their peril, but Moonee and company can’t. They’re not old enough yet to realize that staying in the lilac-colored Magic Castle motel forever, eating junk food and splurging on tacky plastic jewelry in the Dollar Store aren’t viable long-term life goals, or that their parents’ ways of showing love are often toxic. With the innocent bravado and the compulsion to test boundaries of little kids everywhere, they wreak mayhem just to see what will happen (if only a career in the sciences were in the cards they were dealt!). When a vandalism expedition to an abandoned condo complex spirals quickly out of hand, driving a wedge between some of the families, the delicate social web that staves off economic freefall begins to crumble. Impulsivity, both for good and ill, runs in these families – Moonee’s especially. Her feckless, rebellious single mother Halley, played fearlessly by newcomer Bria Vinaite, is a very tough character to like, despite her determination to give her daughter what she needs. Their

connection thrives on a child-to-child level, but it’s frustrating to watch Halley refuse to adapt in any way to what society demands of her in order to become a responsible parent. The more we enjoy Moonee’s imagination and spunk, the more we despair for her future. Unbeknownst to them, their bulwark against tragedy often takes the form of the outwardly grumpy motel manager, Bobby (Willem Dafoe), who puts up with more than his share of verbal abuse from the renters while he intercedes for them with social services and firmly steers potential child molesters off the property. Maybe he sees his younger self in these wayward kids; we never really get a backstory for his understated compassion. But whatever his reasons, Bobby is the kids’ guardian angel – Moonee’s most of all, despite Halley’s repellent free-floating rage, habitual nonpayment of rent and propensity to resort to sketchy ways of making money. Dafoe is excellent in the part. For all the resourcefulness of Moonee’s gang, The Florida Project is by no means a life-affirming, feel-good movie about the wonders of a world seen through the lens of a six-year-old eye. It’s often infuriating, and a palpable sense of dread hangs over the entire narrative; it’s clear that this tale cannot possibly end well. That the axe doesn’t fall much earlier than it does, on more than one occasion, seems miraculous in itself. This reviewer walked out feeling queasy and unsettled; other viewers report breaking down in sobs at the end. Some critics are calling it a masterpiece. But it’s definitely not for everybody. – Frances Marion Platt

limate-change deniers are right about one thing, though they seemingly haven’t thought through its significance or its causes: Earth’s dominant weather patterns have indeed changed multiple times over the millennia (though previously, not as a result of human activity). One of the ways scientists know this is through the evidence of massive population movements, which can be tracked well before recorded history by studying changes in language as groups of people fleeing glaciers, extended drought, plagues or whatever came into contact for the first time with other groups, absorbing some of their words in the process. Historical linguists have developed many clever etymological tricks for interpreting Homo sapiens’ migratory DNA, and deserve to be bought a beer next time you run into one. So the contemporary world’s alarming displacement of huge numbers of people is not unprecedented, but we don’t have natural disasters or geological processes primarily to blame this time. A staggering 65 million residents of our home planet

can now be classified as refugees, mostly due to human-generated war, violence and privation. That number can only grow tragically larger as climate change raises sea levels and makes previously fertile lands incapable of food production. On a micro level, sheltered Americans encounter a tiny piece of this global disaster in the form of acrimonious public debate whenever a refugee family moves into the neighborhood. Some of us wish that we could do more to help the desperate displaced. But most of us aren’t seeing the big picture. Fortunately for us, Ai Weiwei does. The “Andy Warhol of China,� internationally notorious for turning political and cultural dissidence into an artform, works in many media, among them documentary film. Fortuitously timed to coincide with the unveiling in New York City last month of his series of immigration-themed sculptures collectively titled Good Fences Make Good Neighbors, Ai’s latest movie, Human Flow, is now beginning to appear in local cinemas. It made its debut at the Moviehouse in Millerton, and it will be screened at the Rosendale Theatre twice in the coming

week: at 2 p.m. on Sunday, November 19 and at 7:15 p.m. on Tuesday, November 21. Ai spent the better part of a year collecting footage of refugees in 23 countries, sometimes getting into the middle of the muddle personally, sometimes using aerial drones to capture the terrible scale of the problem. It’s not his style to offer up sentimental “through-the-eyes-of� portraits of individuals; he does one short interview and then moves onto the next, letting the camera speak its witness. It’s in the relentless impressionistic accretion of bits of many people’s stories that the impact of this film is built. Imagine Koyaanisqatsi without the visual lyricism and the Philip Glass music, and expect to be a bit overwhelmed. This is a film that needs to be widely seen, if we want to be ready as a society to act responsibly and humanely in the face of a planetwide disaster that is already upon us.

Flowers are perishable, and everything has an expiration date in his mind. “If my arrangements don’t last a long time, I want to hear about it. I sell things in tight bud, so that they get prettier when they get them home.” In the winter he uses a couple of major suppliers, but during the summer season he tries to buy from local growers and even cuts things growing right outside the shop. “Everything looks more like it came from a garden. Plus, we make a beautiful Christmas wreath, which will be available starting on Thanksgiving.” To celebrate his 20th anniversary in High Falls, Dennis and associates will hold an Open House – an annual event – on the Saturday before Thanksgiving, November 18 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

ean B. Nutley and his partner J. T. McKay have recently installed bluecashew Kitchen Homestead into the former location of J & J Hobbies in Kingston’s Stockade District, a transition that has literally moved the retail space on North Front Street into the 21st century. Bluecashew, which was originally located in High Falls and then moved for a seven-year stint in Rhinebeck, has always offered a finely curated assortment of functional and decorative merchandise: tools, cookware, china and pottery, flatware and anything else that would grace a table and make an ardent cook’s life more pleasant. Renovating the space in Kingston has been a creative challenge in itself. The unmistakably avant-garde partners have employed “radical immersive experiential art, Old World techniques and tradition and contemporary thought in a storm of limitless innovation.” In other words, they gutted it and started from scratch – but not without the expertise of interior designer Carrie Bono of Rhinebeck Kitchen & Bath. This partnership was formed especially for the construction of a fully equipped demonstration kitchen, where world-class chefs and foodies with eclectic expertise can drop in and share their knowledge. Bluecashew has always hosted cookbook authors and chefs for book-signings and events. This project takes hosting to a new level, as guest notables and customers can hang out in Bono and McKay’s dream kitchen with its Wolf and Sub-Zero home appliances, sueded black maple Brookhaven cabinetry, black soapstone counters from Barra & Trumbore in Kerhonkson and custom flourishes made by Kingston’s own reclaimed wood specialists, Excelsior Wood Products.

The designing pair (McKay is former creative director of the global China Grill Management restaurant group) has worked to create a farmhouse feel in the kitchen, with rustic beam shelving, rolling butcherblock carts and a 14-by-16-foot

landscape and inspiring people to broaden and improve their dietary habits. Through cooking demos and hands-on education, they want to “ensure that no resource is squandered due to lack of knowledge with regard to our home efforts of crafting and preserving the fruits of our communal agricultural efforts.” “I’ve had my eyes on Kingston for six years,” says Sean. “This is the place I used to buy my grandfather’s Christmas presents, here in the hobby shop. This one had trains and everything. So this is full-circle for me.” The partners talk about how serendipitous the process of landing here actually was. “People are reaching out, buying us cookies and bottles of champagne. And the warmth in Kingston: The first day we opened the store, while we were still unpacking, a customer from High Falls came in to say how glad he is that we’re back.”

Bono emphasizes the design considerations that were addressed to maintain versatility, so that the space could accommodate events, be a film studio, host charity endeavors and, most importantly, make a statement about how important it is to get into fresh foods. “This is not going to be a cooking school,” says McKay. “It will feel more like a home kitchen. This is very much a home, like a set. It has to be comfortable and familiar and fun.” Nutley and McKay are already engaging with a broader slice of food-related entities, such as the Hudson Valley Farm Hub, the Cornell Cooperative Extension, People’s Place and Farm On! “Lots of creative, exciting things will come out of here. We’re a concept store,” says Sean. Theories on the mastery of edible crafting, support of local growers, making the most of Hudson Valley bounty: all fun and noble goals to attempt while

ERICA'S CANCER JOURNEY

Holiday hopes & hiccups

“I

Sinterklaas Crowns & Branches workshop at Kingston Library

don’t want to say the wrong thing.” People tell me this all the time. Here’s my plan, in case it’s helpful to you, too:

No suggestions for cures, including supplements, healing approaches, medical recommendations, helpful contacts and non-peer-reviewed articles. None. However, if I am very attached to my resource, and I really want to tell the person about it, I will fold it up, date it, and stick it under my own couch cushion at home and keep it safe right…there…where I won’t offend anyone. Forever. Got more? Keep all of your cures, forever, right under that cushion. I will continually ask myself, “Am I truly seeing a real, full person right now? Or am I interacting with a ‘type’ of person, filtered through age, physical and/or mental illness or beliefs?” Speaking my truth directly to the other person’s truth can strengthen our conversational dynamic to one of authenticity, which can also hold the benefit of making it harder for me to mess up! I will ask you about your treasured holiday memories and whom you hold close in your heart right now. I will inquire about your favorite shows, teams and recent projects you’ve been working on. If I choose to compliment you on your outward appearance, I will be very specific about what I’m talking about, such as, “Those glasses really bring out your sharp blue eyes,” but not, “Can I have that epic shirt after you, you know, die?” I will bring recent family photo albums for you to browse through, or for us to enjoy together. What does Erica need right now? I will create space for myself to determine what I need at any given moment and not look to others to change for me. I will reframe my discomfort: I don’t care for raisins, celery or homemade cranberry sauce, but I sure do delight in the lines molded by the canned version. I will lean into Don Miguel Ruiz’s Four Agreements: a) Be impeccable with your word; b) Don’t take anything personally; c) Don’t make assumptions; d) Always do your best. I will offer family members a wonderful Advance Death Care Directive booklet (http://deathcaredirective.com) to look over so that we can discuss that person’s end-of-life choices at a later date, not just abstractly over coffee as we’ve done countless times before. Each year that passes makes these questions and answers more relevant. When I am not sure what to say or what to do, I will reflect on this Rainer Maria Rilke quote: “I beg you…to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don’t search for the answers, which could not be given you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without ever noticing it, live your way into the answer…”

It’s that time of year again, when Holland meets our Hudson Valley! Come join other families preparing for their children’s day of royalty by decorating crowns and branches for them to wear during the Sinterklaas event. All supplies are available onsite on Saturday, November 18 from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Kingston Library, located at 55 Franklin Street in Kingston. It’s free and open to the public of all ages, so let those imaginations flow! For more information and a complete schedule, visit www.sinterklaashudsonvalley.com/sinterklaascelebration-space.

Grow against Poverty woodcraft sale to benefit schools in Kenya Some people, once they reach a point of reasonable economic stability in their own lives, decide to do their part to help the less fortunate by writing checks to support charitable causes. Others want a more personalized, hands-on approach to “giving back.” John and Jean Roccanova of Ancramdale, both career educators at the Webutuck Central School, took the latter path 11 years ago when they became interested in the welfare of residents of the impoverished Busia district in rural Kenya. A technology teacher whose passion is fine woodworking, John Roccanova began holding annual woodcraft sales and using the proceeds to finance small community development projects in Africa. Together John and Jean turned the fundraising effort into a full-fledged not-for-profit called Grow against Poverty, which has so far raised upwards of $47,000 to help build classrooms and a 12-station computer lab at the Igero Primary School, start a meal program and hire additional teachers. Next on the organization’s agenda are an agriculture and garden education program at Igero and to provide bicycles for student transportation in several schools in the region. Sound like a campaign that you’d like to support? Got some holiday shopping to do? Great: Your next move is to show up at this year’s Grow against Poverty woodcraft sale, taking place from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. next Friday and Saturday, November 24 and 25 at the historic Irondale Schoolhouse in Millerton. Items for sale will include salad bowls, platters, cutting boards, utensil holders, rolling pins, tea boxes (with a starter set of Harney & Sons teas), candleholders, toys, photo frames and noteholders. Roccanova makes these beautifully joined and inlaid objects from fine hardwoods such as oak, walnut, mahogany, maple and cherry – not to mention wood from the tropical tree sapele, sometimes known as “African mahogany.” Built in 1858, the Irondale Schoolhouse is located at 16 Main Street in Millerton, at the head of the Harlem Valley Rail Trail.

Most yoga classes are done to stimulate the upward flow of prana to lead one towards Enlightenment. Unless the downward flow is moving correctly, congestion, blockages, sluggishness, constipation, and dullness will result. After a feasting holiday, we work on asanas to stimulate this downward flow. This will be a STRONG yoga class. Besides stimulating the Apana Vayu, we will work to stimulate the Agni Gastric Fire. Some abdominal asanas are not appropriate during menstruation. Alternate postures will be offered. Open to all levels and students of all styles of yoga. No absolute beginners or major injuries for this class. We will be moving too fast for your safety.

Ode to kerosene It took us to the Moon

M

any of us heat our homes with oil, and right around now is when they fill the tanks. Some people with outdoor tanks buy kerosene, which is similar, but a bit more refined. They use it during the coldest months because it doesn’t jell in the lines. The rest of us fondly remember kerosene for all the times we used a Coleman kerosene lantern when camping. It was easy to love. These days, kerosene is what gets us around: It’s the fuel used by big commercial planes. Jet fuel is kerosene. It’s relatively cheap, and large jets need “cheap” because a jumboliner’s wings hold 48,400 gallons, or roughly twice the liquid in a big 44-foot pool. You may have already noticed that, outdoors, big airports smell like burning kerosene. Believe it or not, all this connects with astronomy. When America first blasted astronauts into space inside claustrophobic little Mercury capsules, the propellant those Atlas rockets used was…yep, plain old kerosene. It was the most popular rocket fuel of all, and still is. The idea was the brainchild of Russia’s Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, who, a century ago, recommended kerosene as a great fuel for space travel. Fast-forward to the Apollo years, 1969 to 1972, and the wonderful Saturn rocket that got us to the Moon. Its second and third stages used J-2 engines that burned hydrogen and oxygen like the recently decommissioned Space Shuttle. But it won’t surprise you to learn that the Saturn’s incredible first-stage engines, each more powerful than any

Jet fuel is kerosene.

That first stage’s five colossal F-1 engines consumed 15,000 pounds per second. Getting so much kerosene sprayed at once required a big fuel pump with an astonishing 65,000 horsepower. Imagine: Your car’s entire engine is probably around 180 horsepower, and here’s a mere fuel pump with 65,000. Werner von Braun and his friends didn’t mess around. And these days, most of the world’s rockets still use kerosene to launch satellites. This is starting to sound like that “Ode to Kerosene” written by Keats long ago.

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

Turning over an old leaf Fallen foliage supplies nutrients, winter warmth for trees & shrubs

A

few years ago I wrote that among the many benefits of gardening is the opportunity that it offers for varied, productive exercise. At that time I highlighted rei-king (ray-KING). Now, let’s add un-rei-king to join reiking, Zumba, cardiofunk and other ways modern humans build and maintain sleek, fit bodies. In fact, many people, including couch potatoes and nongardeners, practice rei-king this time of year. You can see them practicing this sweeping motion on their lawn amidst gathering piles of leaves. Un-rei-king is a rarer form of exercise, of which I am a practitioner. Rei-kingers gather those piles of leaves that are a byproduct of their exercise into large bags, then muscle them curbside. I gather said bags, muscle them gardenside and launch into un-rei-king. That is, I employ a similar motion to rei-king, except more jagged and with a pitchfork, spreading the leaves once I have freed them from their baggy confines.

Leaves are mostly, but not only, carbon, hydrogen and oxygen; also contained therein are a slew of minerals needed by plants.

Exercise aside, my goal is to blanket the ground beneath one row of pear trees, a large bed of gooseberry bushes and grapes and another long row of pawpaw trees and blackcurrant bushes with six to 12 inches of autumn leaves. That fluffy blanket will hold autumn’s warmth in the soil long after bare soil has frozen solid to a few inches depth. I have to practice un-rei-king every year in November because, by this time next year, that leafy blanket will have pretty much evanesced into thin air – literally. Leaves are composed mostly of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, which become, over the course of the year, carbon dioxide and water vapor. All this may seem like wasted effort (except for the exercise), but it’s not. The transmutation of leaves to carbon dioxide and water happens as bacteria, fungi, worms and other soil organisms gobble up the leaves. Mostly, these creatures are beneficial, helping plants to fight off pests. Leaves are mostly, but not only, carbon, hydrogen and oxygen; also contained therein are a slew of minerals needed by plants. In addition to feeding soil life, as the leaves decompose they’re also fertilizing the ground. More than that, natural, organic compounds are being formed that help make minerals already in the soil more accessible to plants. All this living activity also releases into the ground other natural, organic compounds that aggregate soil particles to create pores for good aeration, as well as to act spongy to help the ground, at the same time, hold moisture.

DION OGUST | ALMANAC WEEKLY

All of which is to say that, after years of un-rei-king, my soil is soft, fluffy, moist and very much alive. The pear trees, gooseberry bushes et cetera love it. Meadow mice also enjoy the fluffy blanket, beneath which they can nest – and feed on plant roots and bark! So, as I lay down that blanket, I’m also putting an 18-inch-high cylinder of hardware cloth or some commercial wrap around the bottom of the tree trunks to fend off the mice. I’ll also keep the leaves a few inches back off the trunks to keep mice at bay and avoid rotting of the trunk. Such precautions are unnecessary for shrubs, whose fresh supplies of stems that grow each spring at ground level can replace any chewed ones. (That’s why they are shrubby.) Not yet finished with leaves. Every autumn, local landscaper Mark Masseo dumps a truckload of vacuumed-up leaves here. On that pile I grow watermelons all summer long. By now, the leaf pile has about half-decomposed into “leaf mold,” which is pretty much the same thing as compost – except rougher, because it’s not yet in the final stages of decomposition. Being richer in nutrients than freshly fallen leaves, leaf mold is just the ticket for loading into a cart for mulching some special plants: a young chestnut tree, filbert bushes and semi-dwarf apple trees. Plus, it brings along all the aforementioned benefits of raw leaf mulch. – Lee Reich Any gardening questions?

PEPPER; black & white tuxedo cat girl. Pepper’s human guardian passed away and the family didn’t want her sister (who’s 16-years old) or her. Pepper’s sister was adopted because a nice couple wanted her to spend her last days in a home. However, Pepper’s been in a kennel/cage for months and is so unhappy. She’s gained weight and has lost some of her hair. She needs someone to love her and to make her life whole. TOBY; white w/gray tabby (striped) markings big cat boy. He, too, lost his home when his guardian passed away. His life was spent in a house and now that he’s in a shelter, he’s frightened and confused by the sights and sounds of the shelter. Senior Cats make Great Pets and companions. They will thank you every day! MABEL; laid back all black female cat. We think this sweet girl is about 2-years old. HAPPY is a not so happy 3-year old black female cat. Many cats get depressed and sad being in a shelter, no matter how nice the shelter is and Happy is one of those cats. And there are young kittens and “teenage” kittens, too, who’d be so happy to be in a wonderful forever home. If the time is right for you to adopt, this is a great time to visit the Saugerties Animal Shelter. All need loving homes. You might just meet the newest member of your family!
