CHECK IT OUT Apply now for summer residencies at Storm King Art Center

will be notified in mid-April.

For more information and an application, visit www.shandakenprojects. org/storm-king/apply.

Talk at Dia:Beacon this Saturday spotlights De Maria’s Truck Trilogy

The Storm King Art Center is currently accepting applications for an artist residency program that includes free housing and private studios on the grounds. The “Shandaken: Storm King” residency follows a process-focused model, giving preference to experimentation, research and risk-taking in the studio. Residents work in private studios on Storm King’s 500acre site, with access to the landscape and collection. Fifteen to 20 residencies will be awarded in the 2018 season, which runs from June 4 to September 30. Residencies are two, four or six weeks in length, with three artists on-site at a time. Artists of all disciplines are invited to apply for this opportunity. Applications are due by 11:59 p.m. EST on Monday, February 12. Any questions or concerns should be submitted by the end of the day on Wednesday, February 7. Late applications cannot be considered.

“Shandaken: Storm King” is administrated by Shandaken Projects.

Each resident is given a private bedroom and a private nine-by-14-foot studio for two, four or six weeks each. The studios do not have electricity; all corded tools must be used in a group workspace attached to the house. The residency is open to cultural producers internationally, but travel costs are not provided. The Art Center maintains a four-bedroom house where residents and a facilities manager are housed together, along with three private studios, one for each resident.

Visitors to Storm King are permitted to access the residency only by special invitation of residents themselves.

Residencies are meant to facilitate experimentation, process, research or production by providing space and time for residents to do as they wish, but residents must bring or buy their own materials. Past residents have included visual artists, writers, curators, activists, dancers and historians. The Art Center believes that different practices “rubbing up against one another” can create a productive friction. Residents are offered unique opportunities to visit Storm King’s grounds, see its collection and get to know its staff.

There is a $25 fee to apply. Applicants interested in attending the residency as a collaborative team should submit a single application. Preference is given to those with a strong connection to the visual arts.

Applications will be juried by a panel of art professionals. Successful applicants

ALMANAC WEEKLY

The Dia Art Foundation is celebrating the work of Walter De Maria with a yearlong program of exhibits and gallery talks marking the 40th anniversary of the late artist’s site-specific works The Lightning Field, The New York Earth Room and The Vertical Earth Kilometer. Each was commissioned by Dia in 1977.

The Beacon galleries are featuring Walter De Maria’s Truck Trilogy through the fall of 2018. Begun in 2011 and completed posthumously by others, Truck Trilogy consists of three classic Chevrolet pickup trucks stripped of all extraneous elements and details. Circular, square and triangular polished-stainless-steel rods are placed vertically in the trucks’ flatbeds.

Similar to De Maria’s Bel Air Trilogy (2000-11), Truck Trilogy juxtaposes the elegant lines of mid-century American industrial design with the geometric vocabulary that underscores more than 50 years of the artist’s practice.

100s of things to do every week

A gallery talk with Dia Art Foundation director Jessica Morgan and curator Lars Nittve about the installation will be held on Saturday, January 20 at 2 p.m.

Admission to the talk is free with museum admission, which costs $15 for adults, $12 for seniors and students and is free for museum members and children under age 12. The galleries are open January through March on Fridays through Mondays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. More information is available by visiting www.diaart.org.

Leaving the house can be a wild ride...

Sloop Brewing Company co-founders Justin Taylor and Adam Watson hard at work when they built their operation in Elizaville’s Vosburgh Orchards.

“Sprout Creek Farm provides the College with a tremendous opportunity to establish programs for our students and faculty while continuing and enhancing the wonderful educational offerings the Farm has offered this community for more than 25 years,” noted Marist president David Yellen. “Sprout Creek Farm’s central work – educating people to appreciate the rich agricultural heritage of the Hudson Valley and the United States and fostering a sense of responsibility for the future of the environment – aligns perfectly with Marist’s core mission.”

It seems appropriate that this bit of news was unveiled just in time for National Cheese Day, January 20. There’s an interesting synergy, too, in the fact that both institutions started out as projects of Roman Catholic religious orders and have ended up adapting to a more secular modern world, without losing the spirit of idealism that nurtured them.

Sprout Creek Farm is located at 34 Lauer Road in LaGrange. It welcomes visitors from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, and the onsite market is open Tuesday through Sunday. Its award-winning cheeses are also available to order online. Visit https:// sproutcreekfarm.org for more info.

SLOOP BREWING WILL EXPAND TO FORMER IBM CAMPUS IN EAST FISHKILL THIS SPRING

S

ustainability is a concept that can take many forms. For a large manufacturing facility whose technological product’s time has come and gone, it can manifest as adaptive reuse, combining residential, business, commercial, educational, civic, cultural and/or recreational activities under one roof. For a tippler, it can mean spending your beer budget on fresh local brews to the greatest extent possible.

Both of these approaches come together this spring, as the Sloop Brewing Company – born in Poughkeepsie, but currently based at Vosburgh Orchards in Elizaville – expands its operations to the former IBM campus in East Fishkill. Sloop co-founders Justin Taylor and Adam Watson managed to secure a $565,000 Regional Economic Development Council grant from New York State to repurpose 26,000 square feet of the retired computer plant for use as a second brewery and tasting room. The brewing operation will be among the first tenants of the new $300 million i.Park City, the so-called “workspace of the future” planned by real estate development group National Resources, which bought the former IBM plant from GlobalFoundries last year.

“The new brewery will allow us to increase production and still focus on our beer with the same love and care as always,” said Taylor. “With our new 120-barrel tanks, we can make enough beer to be in bars and stores throughout the Northeast – but we’ll still have the 30-barrel tanks, to keep making small-batch beer, hone our craft and try new things, like we’ve always been proud to do.”

The new brewery is expected to be operational by May, with the new tasting room opening this summer, featuring local beer, foods from across New York State, event space and live music, with room for more than 300 people. The Elizaville location, housed in a historic restored barn, will continue serving such justly famous Sloop beers as Juice Bomb IPA, Sauer Peach, Half Baked Oatmeal Stout and Confliction Sour Ale, which won a Gold Medal at the World Beer Cup competition in 2016.

A new release, Double Dry Hopped Green Islands IPA, will get its official launch at the announcement celebration for the Sloop expansion, to be held at Schatzi’s Pub & Beer Garden in Poughkeepsie on Saturday, February 3 from noon to 8 p.m. The first 50 purchases of cans will receive a free tee-shirt commemorating the move.

To find out more about Sloop, its products and the new facilities, call (917) 848-3865 or visit www.sloopbrewing.com or www.facebook.com/sloopbrewing.

f you’re a Hudson Valley resident with an interest in the farmto-table movement, or a resident of almost anywhere with a passion for artisan cheeses, the name Sprout Creek may be familiar to you. It’s a 200acre farm in the Town of LaGrange, just southeast of Poughkeepsie, where, since 1990, nuns from the Society of the Sacred Heart – cleverly disguised as civilians in mud boots and overalls – have been raising free-range cows, sheep, goats, turkeys, guinea fowl, chickens

and pigs. They make incredibly delicious cheeses from the milk that their cows, sheep and goats supply, redolent of whatever grasses and wildflowers those ruminants happen to be munching at the time. They also provide extraordi-

nary hands-on agricultural education opportunities for campers young and old.

It has just been announced that Sprout Creek Farm is transferring control of its operations to Marist College, while sustaining its status as an independent not-for-profit.

In addition to continuing current educational programs and agricultural operations, Marist plans to invest significantly in the facilities and to develop new connections between the Farm and Marist’s academic programs. “Sprout Creek will play a key role in Marist’s experiential learning programs by serving as a living classroom and providing handson learning opportunities for students in a variety of academic disciplines,” said Dr. Geoffrey Brackett, Marist’s executive vice president.

MUSIC Analog Dreams: The Art of Brian Dewan on Friday in Hudson

A Renaissance man of music, art, performance and design, and a throwback to a time when a single individual could master nearly all the domains of making, Brian Dewan is a worthy and fascinating subject for a documentary. Dewan’s résumé is a bizarre and singular marvel: He has released several puzzling and brilliant records of original songs – most performed either on a modified zither or accordion – that capture essences and tell stories of an eccentric American past. He composed the music for the Blue Man Group; he designed the album cover for Neutral Milk Hotel’s underground classic In an Aeroplane over the Sea, as well as for the early They Might Be Giants gem Lincoln; along with his cousin Leon, he designed and built a line of novel analog synthesizers under the name Dewanatron, many of which use rotary phone dials and other antique artifacts as controls. He is additionally known for his filmstrips, furniture designs and poetry.

On Friday, January 19 at 7 p.m., Time and Space Limited (TSL) in Hudson is showing Analog Dreams: The Art of

lub Helsinki in Hudson was early in as a forecaster of the impending breakout fame of Lake Street Dive, the jazz/roots/pop hitmakers who have carved themselves a unique place in the Americana musical landscape. Now Club Helsinki gets some back-end payback when Lake Street Dive vocalist Rachael Price revives an especially fine project from her past. The duo of Rachael & Vilray write and record contemporary songs that, in style, language and delivery, could pass for 60 years old or more. Lake Street Dive vocalist Rachael Price and longtime collaborator guitarist, songwriter and whistler Vilray met at the New England Conservatory of Music in the early 2000s, bonding over their love of standards, vocal jazz and pre-rock pop music, all of which Vilray still mines in his solo career.

Rachael & Vilray perform at Club Helsinki Hudson on Friday, January 19 at 8 p.m. Tickets cost $20 in advance and $25 on the day of the show. For more information, visit www.helsinkihudson.com. Club Helsinki is located at 405 Columbia Street in Hudson.

Pete International Airport at BSP on Friday The celebrated saga of music and discord between the Dandy Warhols and the Brian Jonestown Massacre extends with the formation of Pete International Airport, the new band of Peter G. Holmström of the Dandy Warhols. Pete International Airport’s excellent 2017 album, Safer with the Wolves, was released by Anton Newcombe’s A Recordings label, which may come as something of a surprise to fans of the infamous rock documentary Dig! who will recall the intensely difficult relationship between the Dandy Warhols and Newcombe’s own band, the Brian Jonestown Massacre.

Pousette-Dart Band at Daryl’s House on Friday Enduring soft-rock warriors with a touch of subversive wit, the PousetteDart Band embodies the styles and sounds that defined the ’70s, from sophisticated jazz-inflected lite rock to the fringes of country rock in the tradition of the Byrds and Parsons.

Singer/songwriter Jon Pousette-Dart

and his bandmates scored numerous radio hits in their heyday and played arenas with the Byrds, Bonnie Raitt, Little Feat, the Eagles and James Taylor, among many others. As the sounds and sensibility of that era come back into fashion, so too might this oft- and unjustly overlooked expression of the era’s substantive musical values.

ulti-platinum requires no justification, but my first clue that the Philly soul-into-mainstage megapop hitmaking legacy of Hall & Oates was not just enduring, but growing chic, came when one of my very favorites of all new music groups, the Bird and the Bee, dedicated their entire third record to Hall & Oates covers. Baffled by the move at first, I came to recognize the homage as a small part of a larger cultural phenomenon. Hip has always had a tendency to graduate into pop (we used to call it “selling out”), but now we increasingly see yesterday’s pop reborn as today’s hip, as hip young adults reject the valuations that they inherited and restructure the past for present purposes.

Hip works by such contrarian logic. Multi-platinum pop rockers Fleetwood Mac, for example, were anything but hip in their late-’70s commercial heyday. I was there. Sparing no vitriol, the critical voices that championed Elvis Costello and the Clash decried the Mac of Rumours and Tusk as panderers barely discernible from Foreigner. Today, the Fleetwood Mac influence among hipsters is ubiquitous, Costello’s hardly. Pop prevails.

Hall & Oates’ earliest material – 1972’s Whole Oats, their initial breakthrough, 1973’s Abandoned Luncheonette, and their 1974 self-titled moonshot – share in the sound and performance quality of one the golden ages of recording and arrangement. Their megahits of the early ’80s – concentrated on 1980’s Voices and 1981’s Private Eyes – now seem beset by the thin sound of early synth/pop and the cold of aesthetics of cocaine, but look! That’s all in fashion now too, as broad-stroke ’80s revivalism continues to rage on in popular and in underground music.

Recently rechristened and reborn, the Rock Academy presents a tribute to the music of Hall & Oates on Friday and Saturday, January 19 and 20 at 7:30 p.m. at Colony, located at 22 Rock City Road in Woodstock. The doors to the special show open at 6:30, with music commencing at 7:30 as the students of the Rock Academy take on the diverse soul and pop stylings of one the biggest bands of the ’70s and ’80s. Tickets cost $20 in advance, $25 at the door. For more information, visit www.colonywoodstock.com and http://rockacademy.com.

at Possum recording artists the Districts play a high-drama, high-turbulence variety of emotional indie-rock: articulate squalls from the soul of the youth of today owing something to the broad confessions of Arcade Fire and something to the broad obfuscations of Animal Collective. The Pennsylvania quartet’s Fat Possum debut, 2015’s A Flourish and a Spoil, was produced by John Congleton, who has worked with a number of well-known, high-drama acts including St. Vincent, Explosions in the Sky and Future Islands. 2017’s Popular Manipulations, largely self-produced but with contributions from Congleton, brings the Districts closer still toward a sonic grandeur to match their bardic ambitions.

Accompanied by Pine Barons and New Paltz’s Schmave, the Districts headline BSP in Kingston on Saturday, January 20 at 8 p.m. Tickets cost $12 in advance and $15 on the day of the show. For more information, visit www.bspkingston.com. BSP is located at 323 Wall Street in Kingston.

Oblong tribute to Denis Johnson’s Largesse of the Sea Maiden

The late Denis Johnson is justly famous for his first slim volume of short stories, Jesus’ Son. And the book did in fact leave a mark, its quietly despairing and terse profiles of craven, dead-eyed addiction stemming directly from the author’s experience. But the recognition achieved by Jesus’ Son often obscures the expansive, ambitious and generous fiction that the long-sober Johnson went on to produce in his prolific career.

When Oblong Books & Music celebrates the life and work of Denis Johnson, who died in 2017, it is not the career-launching Jesus’ Son that they will attend, but rather his final collection of short stories, The Largesse of the Sea Maiden. These are the only volumes of short fiction that Johnson produced, bookending a career as a novelist highlighted by National Book Award-winner Tree of Smoke. Author Scott Spencer reads from The Largesse of the Sea Maiden at Oblong on Thursday, January 25 at 6 p.m. Copies of Johnson’s swan song will be available for purchase.

Oblong is located at 6422 Montgomery Street in Rhinebeck. For more information, visit www.oblongbooks.com.

So where does that leave Meryl Streep?

Of the 20 Academy Awards for which she has been nominated â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the most for any actor ever, male or female â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Streep has won three, and it feels like a paucity, given the level of godlike regard in which she is held within her profession.

What must it be like to be so incredibly good at what you do that a performance that, for anyone else, would be a career peak is, for you, just another dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost enough to make one feel sorry for the woman.

That said, Streepâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perfectly calibrated turn as Washington Post publisher Katharine Graham in Steven Spielbergâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Post isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t by any means the sole

reason, nor perhaps even the predominant reason, to see it. Tom Hanks holds up his end of this pas de deux as executive editor Ben Bradlee with equal aplomb, verve and skill. Happily, he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t try to replicate Jason Robardsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Oscar-winning portrayal in All the Presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Men, but makes Bradlee entirely his own: an energetic, competitive guy who wears his Brahmin upbringing very l i g h t l y, m u c h preferring to get his teeth into the rough-and-tumble sport of hard journalism. More than anything else, he wants the Post to play in the big leagues with The New York Times; but his commitment to freedom of the press is so visceral you can taste it. This may be Hanksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; best performance ever.

Or maybe heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just loving the chance to spar with Streep, with Spielberg at

HUGO VAN LAWICK | NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC CREATIVE-ABRAMORAMA

(Above) Jane Goodall and infant chimpanzee Flint reach out to touch each other’s hands. Now, 60 years into Goodall’s career, a new documentary film has been made by acclaimed director Brett Morgen (Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck, The Kid Stays in the Picture), incorporating excerpts from more than 100 hours of footage newly unearthed from the National Geographic vaults. Minimalist icon Philip Glass composed the score.

MOVIE

DOCUMENTARY ABOUT JANE GOODALL IN ROSENDALE, WOODSTOCK & HUDSON

W

hen Jane Goodall went to work for paleoanthropologist Louis Leakey in Tanzania in 1957, her only academic background was secretarial school. But she had spent her childhood developing extraordinary patience and observational skills, especially when it came to the animal world. Leakey recognized her talents and set her to work documenting the behavior of chimpanzees at the Gombe Stream National Park. He also paid for her to obtain a doctorate in Ethology at Cambridge University.

Goodall approached her work with no preconceived notions, and ended up turning the field of primate biology on its head. By sitting quietly in their territory for long periods at predictable times, she managed to gain acceptance into a Gombe chimpanzee troop. At the risk of having her work pooh-poohed as tainted by anthropomorphism, she gave her furry comrades names instead of numbers, and soon discerned in them strong parallels to human behavior patterns and social relationships.

Up until her research, if you asked a scientist what the differences were between humans and other animals, the capacity for intentional toolmaking would always be one of the human-only abilities cited. Then one day, Goodall spied a chimpanzee stripping leaves off a twig and dipping it into a termite mound like a fondue fork. Her photographer husband, Hugo van Lawick, captured the behavior on film, and National Geographic shared it with the world. We have had to think a little differently about primates ever since.

At age 83, Dr. Jane Goodall still travels the world, giving lectures and speeches, advocating and fundraising for wildlife conservation, habitat protection and animal welfare in general – not to mention the creation of sustainable jobs for rural people in Sub-Saharan Africa, so that they won’t need to poach or trap endangered “bushmeat” species just to get by. In addition to the Jane Goodall Institute, she founded an organization called Roots & Shoots that provides volunteerism opportunities for idealistic young people.

Now, 60 years into Goodall’s career, a new documentary film has been made by acclaimed director Brett Morgen (Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck, The Kid Stays in the Picture), incorporating excerpts from more than 100 hours of footage newly unearthed from the National Geographic's vaults. Minimalist icon Philip Glass composed the score.

If you missed the initial run of Jane, you’ll get another chance this week: The Rosendale Theatre will be screening it at 7:15 p.m. from Friday through Monday, January 19 to 22, and again on Thursday, January 25, plus matinées at 2 p.m. on Sunday, January 21 and at 1 p.m. on Wednesday, January 24. The documentary will also be screening at TSL in Hudson on Saturday, January 20 at 6:45 p.m. and Sunday, January 21 at 5:45 p.m. Jane will be shown as well at Upstate Films in Woodstock on Saturday and Sunday, January 20 and 21, at 5:15 p.m. Upstate Films Woodstock is located at 132 Tinker Street.

the helm, in a crisply made vehicle that resonates perfectly in these times of imperial presidency, fake news and an egregiously misinformed, mostly-notbothering-to-vote public? In any case, the two go at it on the same stratospheric level of engagement, clearly relishing the story that their characters are enacting. Streep’s Kay Graham requires the most nuance, hanging back for most of the movie while a too-juicy-to-resist opportunity drops into her lap when a court injunction balks the Times’ publication of the Pentagon Papers, and a Post staffer, Ben Bagdikian (Bob Odenkirk), has access to the same RAND Corporation source, Daniel Ellsberg (Matthew Rhys).

What’s holding her back is a combination of factors: her longtime friendship with Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara; the fact that shares in the Post are being put up for public offering at exactly the wrong time to break the story; and her lack of confidence as a widowed female publisher in what is still very much a man’s world, having been brought up to

raise children and host swanky DC dinner parties and retire to the next room while the men talk politics. Her all-male board of directors adamantly opposes rocking the boat while the stock offering is in play… or maybe ever. But Graham, whose own son has spent a tour of duty in Vietnam, takes it personally that McNamara has been lying for years about America’s chances of winning the war. We all know, historically, that she’s eventually going to do the right thing; it’s a hallmark of the filmmaking skill brought to bear here that getting there happens so gradually that an obvious outcome becomes a nailbiter.

There’s as much feeling of suspense in The Post as in any plot-twisty thriller onscreen of late.

Does it even need to be said that this is also a movie that the Tweeter-in-Chief will probably hate? That it’s a reminder of how important the news media can be in preserving our freedoms? There’s another level to it, though: a sense of sadness that, with changing technology, the dignity and reliability of the press has

been sorely compromised in more recent years. Spielberg delivers a gritty picture of the day-to-day life of a newspaper in 1971 – not just the “glamour” of investigative journalism, but also the working-class atmosphere of a place populated by copyeditors and typesetters and compositors and pressmen. Some of these jobs no longer even exist. (On the plus side, women in today’s media can get more interesting “plum” assignments than covering a Nixon daughter’s wedding.) It’s a movie that both embraces the clichés of 1930s “newspaperman” flicks and transcends them.

Kudos are due also to the film’s cinematography, art direction and reliably solid John Williams score for bringing the Vietnam-era milieu to vivid life. And a sterling ensemble supporting cast deserves a mention, as well – notably Odenkirk, who gets some funny moments playing Bagdikian as a nervous klutz, and Bruce Greenwood as the slippery, fatallycompromised-but-not-Nixon-staff-levelthuggish McNamara.

Mostly, though, Spielberg wisely lets The Post be Hanks’ and Streep’s show. They are so wonderful together that one wonders why no one ever let them loose before in the same cinematic playpen.

Ice Harvesting workshop at Maritime Museum in Kingston Have you heard this once or ten million times before? “Born of cold and winter air / And mountain rain com-

bining / This icy force both foul and fair / Has a frozen heart worth mining / So cut through the heart, cold and clear / Strike for love and strike for fear / See the beauty, sharp and sheer / Split the ice apart! / And break the frozen heart.”

For the three people reading this who need a reference, it’s the ice harvesters’ chant in the movie Frozen. And now you can give your family a local connection to Kristoff and his reindeer Sven: Head over to Museum Mates at the Hudson River Maritime Museum’s Ice Harvesting workshop this Saturday, January 20 from 1to 3 p.m. Families will collaborate and listen as you explore life before refrigerators with Internet on the front door, ice-harvesting history and techniques and an ice experiment. Snacks will be provided.

This event is geared for youth ages 5

Is snowshoeing too slow for you?

Downhill too daunting? How about giving Nordic skiing a try? Join one or more of three free community Nordic Ski Clinics 2018 at the Mohonk Mountain House. Each session takes place on Sundays from noon to 3 p.m.: January 21, February 4 and February 11. You choose between classic and skate instruction (skate is skinnier, faster skis), and receive instruction from New Paltz and Wallkill Nordic Ski Teams, parents and members of the Shawangunk Nordic Ski Association. Geared for ages in kindergarten through adults, the focus is on beginner-to-intermediate skill levels.

You may rent equipment the night before or the day of the clinics at Rock and Snow for a discounted price of $10 a day, or bring your own. For updates and/ or cancellations, contact skithegunks@ gmail.com or visit www.newpaltz.k12. ny.us, click on “Our Schools,” then “High School,” then “Quick Links,” then “Sports” where you select “Nordic.” For more information, contact Ann Gregory at agregory@newpaltz.k12.ny.us.

NIGHT SKY

A deadly anniversary Why did the Spanish flu kill so many people 100 years ago?

T

his month marks the 100th anniversary of an event that took 50 million lives: the 1918 Spanish flu. Since some sort of virus is currently going around the mid-Hudson Valley, that deadly historical viral event seems doubly worthy of attention.

It generated surprisingly few headlines at the time. The pandemic’s casualties blurred together in the public mind with those who never returned from the great European bloodbath, which perhaps explains why Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald, writing best-selling novels in the years immediately following the Spanish flu pandemic, never mentioned the disease even once. Moreover, the pandemic lacked a punchy name.

When it started being called the Spanish flu, the label sounded both distant and trivial. Plus, it was a misnomer, since it had nothing to do with Spain; the disease neither originated nor was particularly virulent there. The name arose because Spain’s neutrality in the Great War kept its newspapers free, and they alone reported on this new disease menace, whereas other European countries were censoring all reports of medical losses for fear of harming morale. But to those who were there, it was both horrible and strange.

We now know that the pandemic was indeed caused by influenza, a virus that we nowadays call H1N1, whose initials stand for the glycoproteins (proteins with sugarlike side chains) named haemagglutinin and neuraminidase, which are tools the virus uses to sicken humans, pigs or birds, the three species most susceptible to its attack.

Haemagglutinin lets the virus attach itself to animal cells, while neuraminidase is an enzyme that helps the virus reproduce.

Strains of H1N1 are widespread in swine and birds as well, and this lethal Great World War strain probably arose one day in Kansas when bird and human viral genetic material was exchanged, possible in a single fateful swine infection.

The 1918 flu outbreak infected about a third of the global human population. Yet what was particularly strange was its lethality. A normal flu epidemic kills about one in a thousand of those who contract the disease. But the 1918 Spanish flu was a hundred times deadlier, especially in vulnerable demographics, which oddly included what is normally the hardiest age group: the 20-to-40-year-olds.

The very first case may have been seen in January in Haskell County, Kansas, where a local physician was alarmed enough to report the sudden outbreak to the US government: an extraordinarily unusual thing to have done at that time. What’s indisputable is that on March 4, at a US Army base in Fort Riley, Kansas, the company’s cook came down with the flu. Exactly one week later, 100 other soldiers were in the base hospital. The casualty toll there then skyrocketed to 522 men by mid-month. At this same time, flu was breaking out in the New York City borough of Queens. At that point nothing seemed unusual, since influenza outbreaks had been familiar nuisances every few years.

Everything changed in August. Suddenly a new wave of sickness appeared in far-flung places simultaneously, and now there was a much higher mortality. The very first cases were seen in three busy port cities that were involved with war shipments and troop movements. It was quickly obvious that something very weird was happening. This was obviously a mutation of the earlier virus, since those who recovered from the milder initial infection had immunity from the second wave.

Although the symptoms were flulike, around 20 percent of the victims developed acute respiratory problems and could not be saved. At my request, the strange medical situation was analyzed by British infectious disease specialist Dr. John Froude, who

The 1918 pandemic killed as many people in one year as the Black Death claimed in a century.

A normal flu epidemic kills about one in a thousand of those who contract the disease.

But the 1918 Spanish flu was a hundred times deadlier, especially in vulnerable demographics, which oddly included what is normally the hardiest age group: the 20-to-40year-olds.

lives in our area. He generously shared his professional assessment in an e-mail: “The virus has a tropism (physical attraction for) the alveolus, the little sac at the end of the bronchi where oxygen exchange takes place. It fills up with protein and you cannot oxygenate. This is called ARDS, or Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome. When they dug up Lucy in Alaska and looked at her permafrost-preserved lungs, this is what they saw.”

By mid-November it was completely over and no new cases appeared – although, after months of inactivity, a third, less deadly wave went around the globe the following spring, of 1919. Apparently, the H1N1 virus had now mutated to a less-lethal strain. But before this cessation, the pandemic killed as many people in one year than the Black Death had claimed in a full century.

Why had the ordinary H1N1 virus become so deadly? And why the bizarre pattern of lethality among 20-to-40-year-olds? There were two main causes.

The exhumation of that Alaska woman whose body was preserved in permafrost has let medical researchers examine the responsible virus. Turned out, the young adults who died in such great numbers in 1918 had been born after 1889, so they were never exposed to the same kind of H1N1 virus, and thus they were particularly vulnerable.

But a totally different factor may have been primarily responsible for the lethality.

Turned out, the 1918 H1N1 strain had the ability to cause a severe autoimmune response in humans. This so-called cytokine storm is an extreme immune response where the body overreacts to the pathogen, triggering excess white blood cells, resulting in oftenfatal effects on the lungs. The patient sometimes hemorrhages from the nose, ears and lungs: symptoms that accurately describe the victims of the Spanish flu. This would also explain the odd 1918 age-specific mortality, since young adults generally have the strongest immune response. As John Froude, MD, told me, “The immune system is imperfect and has a dark side. An infection, after all, is the interaction between the pathogen and your immune system.”

But whether or not we now fully understand its odd lethality, the fact remains: The 1918 pandemic killed more people in a year than the HIV scourge has killed in the past 40. So, if you’re one of the many who are suffering from the current viral epidemic, at least you know it could be worse.
