SUNY-Ulster hosts free lecture on Tuesday on ethnobotany, new ALS & Alzheimer’s treatments When people discuss the loss of rainforest habitat and biodiversity, inevitably conversation turns to the medical whatifs. It’s a well-known fact that quinine, the first truly effective treatment for malaria, was derived from the bark of the cinchona tree, native to Peru and Bolivia: a discovery that has saved millions of lives since the 17 th century.

Less familiar are drugs like vincristine and vinblastine – used to treat pediatric leukemia and Hodgkin’s disease – which come from the rosy periwinkle of Madagascar; and neostigmine, a glaucoma drug derived from the African Calabar bean.

Even curare, renowned as a deadly toxin used by natives of Amazon Basin to poison arrowheads and blowgun darts, yields muscle relaxants useful in such medical applications as eye surgery.

from Central American wild yams. The experimental anti-HIV drug Calanolide A almost never happened, because the stand of Calophyllum lanigerum trees in Sarawak from which it was first sampled in 1987 was cleared by the time scientists came back looking for more. Luckily, a few specimen trees were eventually found in a botanical garden in Singapore, enabling chemists to create a synthetic version.

Among the researchers racing to find cures for deadly diseases within the world’s threatened ecosystems is renowned ethnobotanist Dr. Paul Alan Cox, director of the Brain Chemistry Labs in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. His foundation, Seacology, has set aside over 1.5 million acres of rainforest and coral reef in 56 countries around the world, primarily for medical research purposes. Dr. Cox’s current focus is on finding new treatments for ALS and Alzheimer’s disease. Aside from common concerns about ecological issues, that makes his work of especial relevance to Northeasterners, considering recent indications that ALS may be connected to late-stage Lyme disease.

Intrigued? Check out the latest installment in the Elizabeth Gross Lecture Series, sponsored by the Ulster Garden Club and the Ulster Community College Foundation, Inc. At 2 p.m. on Tuesday, April 10, Dr. Paul Alan Cox will give a lecture titled “Ethnobotany and the Search for New ALS & Alzheimer’s Drugs in Island Villages” in the College Lounge, Room 203 of Vanderlyn Hall on the SUNY-Ulster campus. This event is free and open to the public. For more information, call the UCC Foundation office at (845) 687-5283.

NY Theatre Ballet performs Goose! this Saturday at Kaatsbaan

At its 2016 gala, the Kaatsbaan International Dance Center awarded its annual Playing Field Award to Diana Byer, longtime artistic director of the New York Theatre Ballet (NYTB). Under her direction, NYTB became one of the nation’s leading chamber ballet companies, producing dozens of classic and contemporary ballets, including works by Anthony Tudor, Merce Cunningham, Agnes de Mille and José Limón. The company has earned praise for its restoration and revival of small masterworks, its innovative children’s ballets and its unflagging attention to the work of talented young choreographers.

Over the years, Byer and NYTB have spent many weeks in residence at Kaatsbaan, working on repertoire for performance as well as creating new works with contemporary choreographers. Now the ensemble is returning with another performance of its witty children’s ballet Goose! choreographed by Keith Michael.

Goose! brings to life characters from the Mother Goose nursery rhymes, including Jack and Jill, Little Bo Peep, Little Boy Blue and Little Miss Muffet.

The show begins at 11 a.m. on Saturday, April 7 at Kaatsbaan, located at 120 Broadway in Tivoli. Tickets cost $10 for adults, $5 for children. To order tickets or for more information, call (845) 757-5106, extension 10 or 2, or visit www.kaatsbaan. org or https://bit.ly/2JhoHUD.

Basilica Hudson hosts ONE (Our New Energy) Fair on Saturday

“T

he Hudson Valley is the birthplace of the American environmental movement, with the Hudson River as central Muse and catalyst,” says Melissa Auf der Maur, alt/rock musician and co-founder/director of Basilica Hudson. That’s a fair statement, whether one takes it to signify the role of the Hudson River School of Art in teaching Americans to think of wilderness as something to be cherished rather than feared, or the legal milestone of the 1965 Scenic Hudson Decision that first gave ordinary citizens legal standing to fight to preserve natural resources. We may not have as much sunshine as the Southwest or as much wind as the Atlantic coast, but there’s no reason why our region can’t be leading the way when it comes to embracing sustainable sources of energy over fossil fuels.

Auf der Maur gets this, citing a sense of “increased urgency to address issues around climate change and the disconnect between the way we live and the life of the planet.” The cavernous space of Basilica Hudson has already hosted a number of gatherings focused on promoting sustainable technologies and local self-sufficiency; the latest, called the Our New Energy (ONE) Fair, is coming up this Saturday. Co-sponsored by the community design studio Virago Futures, ONE is billed as “a modern-day county fair” whose focus is “connecting Hudson Valley residents with local environmental sustainability organizations, and on giving attendees practical advice and tips as to how they can embrace renewable energy in their homes.”

The ONE Fair setup will include a marketplace, community stage and creative studio workshop series. A broad range of local environmental organizations will be in attendance, including Catskill Mountainkeeper, Hudson Solar, Riverkeeper, Seeding Sovereignty, Citizens’ Climate Lobby, New Yorkers for Clean Power, New York Heartwoods, Sustainable Hudson Valley, LabX presented by the National Academy of Science, the Hudson River Sloop Clearwater, Stop NY Fracked Gas Pipeline, Citizen Advocates for Sustainable Energy and Transition Catskills. Jon Bowermaster will screen Seeds of Hope, the latest film from his Oceans 8 Films Hudson River Stories series.

The ONE Fair runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, April 7. Entry is free. For more details, visit http://basilicahudson. org/one-fair. Basilica Hudson is located at 110 South Front Street in the City of Hudson.

Astor Galleries’ Antique Appraisal Day will take place at the Father Brogan Center, the old school across from the Good Shepherd Church at 3 Mulberry Street in Rhinebeck. For more information, e-mail info@astorgalleries.com, call (800) 7847876 or visit www.astorgalleries.com.

Free reading at Vassar with Kiran Desai on Tuesday Vassar College writer-in-residence Kiran Desai will read excerpts from her work on Tuesday, April 10 at 6 p.m. in the Sanders Classroom of the Spitzer Auditorium at Vassar College. Desai is the author of two novels, Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard and The Inheritance of Loss, for

which she received the Man Booker Prize and the National Book Critics’ Circle Award. She is the recipient of a Guggenheim fellowship, a fellowship from the American Academy in Berlin and a Columbia University Medal of Excellence. She is currently completing a novel titled The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny, to be published by Knopf.

The longer one lives, the more mathoms one tends to accumulate, along with a lot of dust that needs periodic attention. What to do with them? What if they’re actually valuable? Here’s a handy way to find out: From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, April 7, Rhinebeck’s Good Shepherd Church will host an Antique Appraisal Day event to benefit the Good Shepherd Women’s Society. Stephen Cardile, longtime appraiser and founder of Astor Galleries, will bring a team of recognized expert appraisers, including Mara Dean and Alex Salazar, to examine and evaluate all types of antiques, collectibles and vintage items.

No appointments are made or necessary.

Items will be appraised for $10 each ($25 for three items). By popular demand, qualified consignments will be accepted, plus gold, silver, jewelry and coins will be purchased. A local representative will be available to make house calls by appointment.

Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons in Kingston this Saturday

Gratefully Yours plays Bearsville this Friday

There are oldies and then there are Oldies. The first refers to anything that’s old and that mattered for at least half a cultural moment. But capital-O “Oldies,” the oldies genre, refers not to the vintage of an artist, but to one specific aesthetic sweet spot: songs that combine themes of youthful ardor and innocence with declawed elements of rock ‘n’ roll, Brill Building songcraft and the uptown finesse of skilled traditional arrangers. Oldies are forever young, as are we all. It’s a Golden Age sound.

Frankie Valli, the most famous falsetto in rock, has spent his long and formidable career dwelling on that sweet spot. The emotional potency of this music was leveraged in the Tony-winning musical Jersey Boys, which chronicles the life and times of Valli and his famous group the Four Seasons, and that show has been a turbo-boost for the still-vital Valli’s career.

It is one thing to have fame reignited in a wave of nostalgia, and quite another to be up for capitalizing on it. Thing is, Valli has never gone away. Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons will perform at the

SUNY-New Paltz hosts intercollegiate West African dance/music concert this Friday

As the post-Jerry years pile up into decades, an interesting trend in the Dead business is the melding of tribute players with original Dead collaborators, as all have a vested and spiritual interest in the perpetuation of the music and its live institutions. No one illustrates the point better than Gratefully Yours, a project founded

by New Paltz-bred keyboardist Alex Mazur, who, as founder of the Deadbeats, was about as early in on Deadtribute business as you could be. Mazur’s band is fed by a player stream that the Dead itself has drawn from.

Consider that an occasional member of Gratefully Yours is Rob Eaton from the Dark Star Orchestra, whose keyboardist Rob Barraco has been tapped repeatedly by the Dead and Phil Lesh

WOODSTOCK’S COLONY HOSTS ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT NEXT SUNDAY

W

hether art should be a reflection of reality or a perfection of it is a little out of my scope at the moment, but I do want to recall how utterly alien the Afrocentric “conscious rap� of Arrested Development sounded to these ears in early ’90s, when the album for which they will always be known, 3 Years, 5 Months & 2 Days in the Life of..., dropped into the middle of a world obsessed with gangsta rap on the one hand and the inflammatory politics of Public Enemy on the other.

Speech’s moral, spiritual and Afrocentric persona – amplified by the band’s gaudily colorful image and celebratory clan atmosphere – was so shockingly against-the-grain that it almost seemed incendiary for that reason alone. Yielding hits like the powerful “Tennessee� and the cheeky didacticism of “Mr. Wendal,� subtly lampooning gangsta rap in various ways, the album was nowhere near as pious as it was often made out to be. There was playful and even acidic dimension to it, but it was noted mostly for its hard-earned contrarian positivity.

The legendary hip hop collective, Grammy-winners, hitmakers and originators of conscious hip hop in the heart of the era of street myth, Arrested Development performs in the intimate confines of Colony in Woodstock on Sunday, April 15 at 8 p.m. Still fronted by Speech, one of rap’s most unlikely heroes, Arrested Development is back in the studio after a long recording hiatus.

Fab Faux coming to Levon Helm Studios Fab Faux, a band of New York Cityscene heavies and session cats began in the failing days of the Beatles’ own century as gleeful, uncostumed-butgear-accurate reenactors of the lads’

later studio work (in other words, the music that the Beatles themselves never performed live). The Faux, as we came to call them, would perform their astonishingly detailed and ecstatic tributes before stunned crowds at venues like the Bowery Ballroom

and Webster Hall. When they needed a cornet for “Penny Lane,” it was Lou Soloff. When they needed a harp for “She’s Leaving Home,” it was the harpist from the New York Philharmonic.

It was that kind of high-end, that kind of top-shelf. It was, for me, a spiritual experience to hear that music played that well.

While Will Lee and Jimmy Vivino might be the most famous of the Faux by virtue of their high-profile television gigs, the stud singers in the ensemble (and try to imagine a Beatles tribute band without a few stud singers) are multiinstrumentalist Jack Pettruzelli (longtime Joan Osborne right-hand man) and the great drummer and songwriter Rich Pagano (who plays with Willie Nile and many others). While all five members take lead vocals and do quite well, Pettruzelli and Pagano are the real horses, when you need to go “Oh, Darling” or “Yer Blues.”

Twenty years in, I question whether the tribute game perhaps commands too much of the attention and resources of music fans of a certain age; but if there is one tribute band I love, this is the one.

The Fab Faux perform at the Levon Helm Studios, where Vivino was a house regular throughout the Dirt Farmer years, on Friday, April 27 at 8 p.m. We tell you this now because you know how often shows at Levon’s tend to sell out. Seats cost $100, standing admission costs $65.

EVENT

KUSHNER TO TALK ABOUT BERNSTEIN & SPIELBERG’S WEST SIDE STORY AT BARD

T

his January, the news dropped that Steven Spielberg is doing a big-screen remake of the stage musical West Side Story. Leonard Bernstein’s iconic music will be retained, but one of the most brilliant of contemporary playwrights, Pulitzer Prize- and Tony Award-winner Tony Kushner (Angels in America), has come aboard to rewrite the screenplay.

Kushner has collaborated successfully with Spielberg twice before, writing the scripts for Munich in 2005 and Lincoln in 2011.

This year being celebrated worldwide as the Bernstein centenary, Bard’s Fisher Center will be presenting a live talk with Tony Kushner on Friday, April 20 at 7:30 p.m. The focus of the conversation will be the playwright’s relationship to the music of Leonard Bernstein, including the daunting task of adapting one of the composer’s most beloved works. Like Bernstein, Kushner is a powerful advocate for social change in his life and work, asking audiences to identify with the marginalized through humanizing acts of imagination.

only to God,” and he spent his early professional life expanding the family fortunes as a partner in an investment and venture capital firm. But he loved horticulture more than making money, having spent childhood summers in his grandmother’s gardens at Malbaie in Quebec. He married Anne Perkins, whose grandfather George was one of the founders of the Palisades Interstate Park Commission; her parents’ property in the Hudson Highlands eventually became home to the Glynwood Center as well as part of Fahnestock State Park. Jointly, the two clans’ Hudson Valley contingent were among this region’s leading forces for conservation.

Frank Cabot inherited the Quebec property, Les Quatre Vents, when he was 40, and began dividing his time between it and the summer home in Cold Spring that he and Anne called Stonecrop.

Their intention was always to transform Stonecrop into a public garden; that dream came true in 1992. After visiting Ruth Bancroft’s famous dry garden in Walnut Creek, California, in 1988 and learning that it was in danger of being sold to developers, Cabot decided – at Anne’s urging – to found a not-for-profit group to help save it. That organization became the Garden Conservancy.

To this day, Anne P. Cabot remains a mover and shaker in the conservation movement in the Hudson Valley. In 2006, Frank Cabot received the Garden Club of America’s Achievement Award for “the greatest horticultural accomplishment in America in the last half-century.” And before his death, he was interviewed on film by director Sébastien Chabot about his vision and mission to save and cultivate certain special places of beauty.

That interview became the centerpiece of a documentary titled The Gardener, recently completed and about to be unveiled in a screening and discussion at the Moviehouse in Millerton.

The event begins at 7 p.m. on Saturday, April 7. On hand for the question-and-

answer session will be Gregory Long, CEO/president of the New York Botanical Gardens and a longtime colleague and friend of Frank Cabot, along with designer Bunny Williams. Tickets cost $14 general admission, $12 for Moviehouse members, and can be purchased at the Moviehouse box office at 48 Main Street in Millerton or online at www.themoviehouse.net.

MOVIE

ARMANDO IANNUCCI AND HIS ABLE CAST milk all this mayhem for all the dark yuks that can possibly be generated therein; but the director’s primary intent is clearly to make the viewer very uncomfortable, and unable thenceforth to characterize the Stalin era as a mere blip on the screen of the calamitous 20th century.

The Death of Stalin reaps grim farce from gory regime change

F

or those growing up in America, knowing what we’re supposed to think about Russia has never been a walk in the park, and it’s not getting any easier.

Baby Boomers, for instance, were taught that the “Commies� were the Godless Enemy – our parents, still shell-shocked

by McCarthyism, conveniently gliding over the part about the Russians having been our allies against Hitler. Sputnik and Yuri Gagarin poked holes in the concept of American know-how and made our families worry about our future. Duckand-cover drills during the Cuban Missile Crisis and the spectacle of Nikita Khrushchev banging his shoe on the podium at the UN, telling America “We will bury you� (which we were supposed to take literally), made little children afraid. Pop culture reinforced this impression but leavened it with humor, as Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatale and endless spy movies told us that the Soviets were scary, but also buffoonish. A guy with bushy eyebrows who supplanted the bald guy at the top of the Central Committee turned out to be even scarier, confusing us further.

Then along came the late ’60s, with Illya Kuryakin and Ensign Chekov reminding us that Russians could be good people, too.

Gradually, young people began to learn that not all Russians were Communists and that not all communists followed the Party line; that Marxism had been formulated in a spirit of idealism and had somehow drifted off that path into totalitarianism. When the excesses of Joseph Stalin finally came to light, even the most avid Old Lefties had turned away in disgust and started looking for new role models (or becoming them). But that didn’t mean that one couldn’t still be a leftist – a fact that seemed to escape the Great Silent Majority. Vietnam War protestors were repeatedly told to “Go to Russia,� which was especially baffling to those of us whose Eastern European ancestors had fled the Cossacks or the Red Army for the Land of the Free.

Fast-forward through the Sino/Soviet split, the invasion of Afghanistan, the Olympic boycotts, Andropov, Chernenko, the Velvet and Singing Revolutions. The Berlin Wall fell and Reagan took credit for it, but his concept of the USSR as the Evil Empire was becoming irrelevant. Suddenly we had perestroika and glasnost and a whole bunch of independent former Soviet states lining up to join NATO, and Mikhail Gorbachev was deemed a Good Guy, relatively speaking. Communism in the form of a monolithic centralized government, unfriendly to commerce, seemed to be old news. It looked like America would need to reassess once again.

Though a coup against Gorbachev was foiled in 1991, a constitutional crisis followed

The Death of Stalin

two years later, and Boris Yeltsin managed to nudge him aside. By the time Vladimir Putin took over in 1999, the country was unrecognizable to America’s postwar generation: neither communistic nor a free market, but a sort of gigantic organized crime network. And the KGB, under some new acronyms, remained its terrifying enforcers.

Some things never change.

That brings us to the present topsy-turvy situation, with the same sorts of Americans who used to yell “Go back to Russia!� seemingly quite comfortable with Russian interference in the 2016 elections and a president who’s pals with Putin. If you still identify as a leftie or progressive, it’s now suddenly cool to hate the Russians. Does that make your head spin? Good. Now go see Armando Iannucci’s The Death of Stalin, because it’s high time to revisit the abyss of the Great Terror, so abruptly revealed to the West and then as quickly covered up in embarrassment.

This is an extremely bizarre film. Wishing to remind us that Stalin’s cult of personality and his ruthlessness in dealing with perceived enemies were manifestations of human evil on a scale comparable to Nazism, the misleadingly named Scottish comedian/ director – best-known in the US as the creator of Veep – has opted for a tone that tries to straddle comedy and horror. I’m not entirely sure that it succeeds at this; it’s very blackly humorous, even slapstick at times, but not exactly ha-ha funny. Right from the get-go, what’s happening onscreen is just too horrific, with drawing up lists of names of people to be executed simply a normal workday for the members of Stalin’s cabinet.

Of this ambitious-but-intimidated crew, Khrushchev (Steve Buscemi, in the role-of-alifetime) is presented to us as the least-worst, the guy who genuinely dreams of reform but dares not speak its name and is content to

play the fool, biding his time. His nemesis – the guy who moves most decisively when Stalin has a stroke and appears to be near death – is Lavrentiy Beria (Simon Russell Beale), smart and ruthless head of the secret police (then called the NKVD). As if that weren’t bad enough, he’s a serial pedophile rapist.

Beria sidelines the wily nebbish Khrushchev to plan the details of Stalin’s funeral while pushing the vain, ever-waffling, not-overly-bright Georgy Malenkov (Jeffrey Tambor) to take over as figurehead leader while Beria exerts real control of the messy transition of power. Vyacheslav Molotov (Michael Palin), who is unwittingly on the purge list on the night of Stalin’s collapse, and his jailed wife Polina (Diana Quick) are also among Beria’s pawns. Khrushchev vies with Beria for influence with Stalin’s children (Andrea Riseborough and Rupert Friend) as well as the Russian commonfolk, but Beria has incriminating dossiers on everybody who tries to stand in his way.

Chaos predictably ensues, with much of the humor deriving from the way in which all the main characters have been habituated to hew to the Party line at all times, for fear of imprisonment, exile, torture and/or execution. Rebellious talk does a 180-degree

flip anytime a third party enters the room, because nobody knows who’s on whose side once the old man has fallen. It’s a bottomless well for farcical invention, often crude, but so permeated with terror as to be simultaneously unfunny.

The tide begins to turn against Beria with the arrival in Moscow of the army under the command of no-nonsense Field Marshal Zhukov (Jason Isaacs). Sorting things out continues to take a great deal of casually shooting people in the head, and Khrushchev’s eventual victory is shown to be tenuous to the very end. Iannucci and his able cast milk all this mayhem for all the dark yuks that can possibly be generated therein; but the director’s primary intent is clearly to make the viewer very uncomfortable, and unable thenceforth to characterize the Stalin era as a mere blip on the screen of the calamitous 20th century. In that, he certainly succeeds.

Whether commonalities exist with our contemporary state of politics, at home or abroad, is another question entirely. – Frances Marion Platt

n 2008, the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts donated more than 28,500 of Warhol’s photographs and photo silkscreen prints to educational institutions across the US, on condition that the works be exhibited every ten years. Five of the New York-based universities who received works through the Andy Warhol Photographic Legacy Program – the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center at Vassar College. the Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College, the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art at SUNY-New Paltz. the Neuberger Museum at SUNY-Purchase and the University Art Museum at SUNY-Albany – are collaborating this year on the project, “Warhol X 5.” Each of the five colleges is presenting a Warhol exhibit, focusing on a different facet of Warhol’s photographic output. Each of the museums has borrowed works from each other’s collections in order to present thematically cohesive exhibitions.

The Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center at Vassar College is showing “People Are Beautiful” through Sunday, April 15, highlighting ideas of beauty in Warhol portraits. The University Art Museum at SUNY-Albany is presenting “Younger than Today” from June 29 through September 15, focusing on images of childhood as seen through Warhol’s lens. The Neuberger Museum of Art at SUNY-Purchase will contribute “Andy Warhol: Subject and Seriality” to the project, taking a closer look at Warhol’s work done in series, on view July 22 through November 18.

The Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College is exhibiting “Warhol:

Peter Max exhibition at Museum at Bethel Woods

T

his Saturday, the Museum at Bethel Woods will be reopening for the season following its winter hiatus. This year’s special exhibit, on view through December 31, 2018, will offer survivors of the ’60s a nostalgic wallow in the psychedelic imagery that helped define the look of the era. Bringing together for the first time the collections of Robert Casterline and Shelly Fireman, the exhibition is titled “Peter Max: Early Paintings,” and documents the period in the wildly popular neo-Fauvist/Pop artist’s career just as he was attaining international fame. Artworks included in the exhibition span the period from 1967 through 1972.

Born Peter Max Finkelstein in Berlin in 1937, the artist was an infant when his family fled the rise of Nazism for Shanghai, where they lived for the next ten years before relocating to Haifa, then Paris and finally Brooklyn. In 1956, Max began his formal art training at the Art Students League of New York, studying anatomy, figure drawing and composition under Frank J. Reilly.

Beginning in 1962, Max and his friends Tom Daly and Don Rubbo collaborated in a small Manhattan commercial arts studio, which brought Max his first recognition for an advertising campaign. Much of their work incorporated antique photographic images as elements of collage. Max’s interest in astronomy drove the development of the “spacy” imagery of his self-described “Cosmic ’60s” period, when his artwork in poster form became a staple of many a dorm-room wall. The pervasive influence of his signature style can be seen in such countercultural iconography of the era as the animation in the Beatles' film Yellow Submarine and the “head comix” of such cartoonists as R. Crumb and Gilbert Shelton.

The museum doors will open for the 2018 season at 10 a.m. on Saturday, April 7. A private brunch and special exhibition preview is scheduled for Bethel Woods members that morning, and the Special Exhibition will open to the general public at 11:30 a.m. Museum director/senior curator Wade Lawrence will conduct gallery walks of “Peter Max: Early Paintings” for the general public at 12, 2 and 4 p.m. on Opening Day. In support of this year’s special exhibit and in celebration of the Museum’s tenth anniversary, 12 regional artists will present “Doors to Originality,” a series of original Peter Max-inspired designs on vintage wooden doors. This outdoor installation, displayed throughout the Bethel Woods grounds, opens on June 2: ten years to the day that the Museum at Bethel Woods opened its own doors.

Access to “Peter Max: Early Paintings” is included in the regular museum admission price of $15 for adults, $13 for seniors (65+), $11 for youth (8 to 17) and $6 for children (3 to 7). Special-exhibition-only admission costs $5. Museum hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday through Sunday from April 7 to 29, and from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. every day from April 30 to September 3. The Bethel Woods Center for the Arts is located at 200 Hurd Road in Bethel. For more info, visit www.bethelwoodscenter.org.

At the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art at SUNY-New Paltz, the exhibit “Marking Time” focuses on the significance of commemorations and anniversaries in Warhol’s photography. The exhibit is divided into sections emphasizing his images of holidays, commemorations of things, commemorations of people, anniversaries of deaths and birthdays and other celebrations. The exhibition opened in February and will run through July 15.

Among the works featured are Polaroid photographs of poinsettias and of a heartshaped candy box, used by Warhol to make prints to give as gifts on Christmas and Valentine’s Day. The commemoration photographs include an image made on the centennial of the Brooklyn Bridge

and a portrait of Bella Abzug to mark her candidacy for mayor in 1977. A focal point of the exhibition is Flash: November 22, 1963, a series of screen prints marking the five-year anniversary of president John F. Kennedy’s assassination.

SUNY New Paltz and Vassar College will co-host a symposium, “Displaying Warhol: Exhibition as Interpretation,” on Thursday and Friday, April 12 and 13. The two-day event will examine the history and significance of approaches to exhibiting Andy Warhol’s work with a roster of distinguished art historians and curators.

Changing the approach to the presentation of an artist can change the viewer’s mind about who an artist is, says SUNY-New Paltz Art History professor Reva Wolf. “In the case of Warhol, there are certain ideas that we tend to associate with his work. For example, it embraces commerce; he uses repetition; he appropriates existing images; he is drawn to fame…those are probably the main, standard ideas that we associate with Warhol. But his work is extremely rich and has many other dimensions. And these can be brought out in different ways through how his work is exhibited.”

The symposium kicks off on Thursday, April 12 at 6 p.m. with a keynote address by art critic and Warhol biographer Blake Gopnik in Room 102 of Taylor Hall, adjacent to the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center at Vassar College. The talk will be followed by a question-and-answer

session and public reception.

olden Age of New Paltz: Part II” is the second of three installments in the Wired Gallery and Jack Murphy’s exhaustive attempt to document and celebrate and as much as possible reassemble the artists of New Paltz of the 1960s. The “Golden Age” series makes no outlandish claims about historical significance. By focusing on the relationships that took shape among faculty, students and artists unaffiliated with the college, “Golden Age” tells the story of a smalltown scene that would produce some nationally registering art of a significance disproportionate to the town’s and the program’s size.

Proximity to the City and the expansion of the Normal School’s programming set the stage for Part One of the series. Part Two documents the New Paltz art scene in full swing. Among the work on display will be examples by SUC-New Paltz professors Ben Bishop, Maurice Brown, Ken Burge, John Frank, Alex Minewski, Benjamin Wigfall and others.

Work by students from that era will include Gary Allen, John Anderson, Allen Bryan, Harvey Cohen, Reno DeRosa, Jimmy Edwards, Denise Giardullo, Dick Hogle, Eric Iversen, Anthony Panzera, Theo Papas, Phil Paratore, Bruce Pileggi, Roger Polansky, Rosalie Rossi, Eddie Samuels, Susan Slotnick, Jon Ellis Stevens, Tom Stratton, Al Summ, Rosalind Zarr and others.

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

It’s a snap How to put up a pea trellis in 15 minutes

U

h-oh! St. Patrick’s Day has passed, and I didn’t plant my peas. No matter. St. Paddy’s Day is the right time to plant peas in Virginia, southern Missouri and other similar climates – including, probably, Ireland.

Around here, where the average date of the last killing frost is sometime in the latter half of May, April 1 is more like it. That’s the date that I shoot for, at least. In some springs, like the spring of 2017, earlier plantings would have done better. But you never know what bodes for the weather, so playing the averages is the best bet.

The problem with planting pea seeds too early is that the seeds will just sit and perhaps rot in cold soil. The problem with planting peas too late is that temperatures are too hot when the plants are supposed to be in all their glory, so they peter out rather than bear well. Again, an April 1 planting date, around here, generally works best.

Soil temperature is an even-better guide than calendar date: Pea seeds germinate when the soil warms to 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Or a phenological indicator: Blossoms of spring-flowering trees and shrubs open in response to warmth.

Forsythia blossoms are just about to open at about the same time that the ground has warmed to that 40-degree temperature.

Peas grow as vines anywhere from a foot-and-a-half tall to more than six feet long. Whether short or long, the vines are not self-supporting. The laissez-faire gardener just lets the vines sprawl on the ground, then lifts them to harvest.

For a neater garden and cleaner pods, I trellis my peas. By exploiting a third dimension – up – I also reap more productivity per square foot of garden space from trellised peas.

Plus, if the peas are planted down the center of my three-foot-wide garden beds, I can flank them with other vegetables, such as carrots, radishes, lettuce and arugula.

Peas, like other vegetables, should be rotated around the garden – that is, not planted in the same place again within three years. Crop rotation avoids the buildup of pest problems that overwinter in the ground. Without their host plants, they starve.

With this caveat, peas need temporary trellising – trellising that can follow them around the garden. Traditional temporary trellising for peas (and very British) are pea sticks. Looking quite charming, this trellis is made by merely sticking brushy twigs into the ground along the pea row. Pruning off branches sticking out perpendicular to the row leaves a flat plane of twigs up which the clinging vines can clamber. The traditional

Pea seeds germinate when the soil warms to 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Forsythia blossoms are just about to open at about the same time that the ground has warmed to that 40-degree temperature.

pea trellis takes some time to set up, and requires some time gathering a lot of suitable twigs.

I opt for the “second-best pea trellis,” which starts out by my pounding an old piece of inch-thick iron plumbing pipe into the ground at each end of my pea row. The trellis itself is chickenwire, each end of which I weave onto the pipes. The chickenwire can then be cut to the length of the row, or excess roll can just be left standing just beyond the pipe. The chickenwire slides down the pipes most easily if kept almost parallel to the ground, so I attach one end partway on one pipe, then the other end partway on the other pipe, and keep going back and forth easing the mesh down to the ground.

At this point, the trellis is quite floppy. I strengthen it with some of those inexpensive fiberglass posts sold for electric fencing, weaving one of these posts into the chicken wire every three feet or so and then pushing it into the ground.

Presto! In about 15 minutes, I’ve erected a serviceable and inexpensive pea fence.

This fence can be erected just after the peas emerge through the soil, so what it lacks in beauty it makes up for by spending little time uncovered with pea vines. After pea harvest is over, I pull the vines down off the trellis and dismantle the fence in a reversal of the steps described. The fence, not being permanent, can move around the garden to a different location each spring – just as should the peas.

causing $2.8 billion in property damage. In the aftermath, a couple of guys named Stan Hays and Will Cleaver were wondering what they might do to help, and it struck them that maybe the survivors and the rescue workers deserved a nice hot barbecue meal instead of FEMA rations.

Thus was the notfor-profit disaster relief organization Operation BBQ Relief (OBR) born; in the years since its founding, OBR has provided more than 1.75 million meals to 44 communities in 24 states ravaged by natural catastrophes.

One of OBR’s many dedicated volunteers, Dana Reed, a cardiology nurse at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital, joined up in 2012 and now organizes fundraising events throughout the Northeast. The Emerson Resort and Spa in Mount Tremper will play host next weekend to a world-class two-day culinary event called Grill’n and Chill’n in the Catskills, at which top pitmasters, celebrity chefs, distillers and outdoor guides will be displaying their skills and sharing secrets and tips.

Cast-iron and Dutch-oven demos with sampling, jerky-making, open-pit cooking and bourbon-tasting are just a few of the culinary experiences that attendees will be able to enjoy, while contributing to a great cause. Competitors will battle it out for a spot at the 2018 World Food Championships in the Brookside Burger Battle. On Friday night the Black Dirt Bandits perform, and on Saturday you can even take a Fly Fishing 101 tutorial. The weekend wraps up with a lovely gala reception and silent auction, followed by a pairing dinner prepared by the OBR team.

Grill’n and Chill’n in the Catskills runs from 3 p.m. on Friday, April 13 to 11 p.m. on Saturday, April 14. Ticket packages run from $116.46 to $305.89; call (845) 688-4141 to inquire about discounted overnight accommodations for attendees.

NIGHT SKY

The year’s best sky-tints And nature’s favorite color

C

olor is a tricky business. At first glance, the heavens seem a simple study in black-and-white, a monotony of white stars splotched upon a black background. The metallic, monochrome Moon emphasizes this vapid impression. Yet only a few moments of sky-study let us step away from neon expectations and start thinking in pastels, allowing long-held myths to vanish like tax refunds.

When it comes to color, nature has a favorite; a single shade keeps recurring like a catchy jingle, pervading all of time and space. But before we play favorites, let’s stroll the night’s alleyways and explore the surprises of its tints.

This is the year’s perfect time for that.

At 9 p.m., look west, and there’s Orion.

Check out all those bright stars. As you comparison-shop from star to star, color differences become obvious. You’ll see that “red giants” like Orion’s shoulder-star Betelgeuse are actually just slightly on the orange side of yellow. Still, compared with blue/white suns such as Orion’s brilliant foot-star Rigel, or Sirius, to which Orion’s belt points, the contrast is vivid enough.

Suns blaze in every color, with just one exception: There are no green stars.

There are green meteors, and the aurora borealis is predominantly a pale green, and Uranus is as green as a shamrock, so it can materialize in the night sky. But never in stars.

And even though it can’t be seen, a torrent of green light cascades from all stars – along with violet, red and everything in between. It doesn’t take a Krell IQ boost to grasp why most suns appear white or nearly so: When a phalanx of various colors arrives at our eyes simultaneously, they’re scrambled together, and humans perceive the combination as white. White is what we’d get if we could put a rainbow in a blender.

But color won’t appear if the star is too dim. For example, the topmost star in Orion’s

When a phalanx of various colors arrives at our eyes simultaneously, they’re scrambled together, and humans perceive the combination as white.

Marist College’s annual fashion magazine FM/AM has just won a Gold Crown Award from the prestigious Columbia Scholastic Press Association (CSPA) of Columbia University, an international student press organization. Winners were announced at the 2018 College Media Convention earlier this month.

Marist was one of two Gold Crown winners in the Magazine category from among a field of 1,100 entrants this year. The judges are experienced former advisors to student media, professional journalists who understand student media or professionals such as photographers or online specialists. The Gold Crown is the highest honor that CSPA bestows.

Overseen by Fashion, Merchandising and Sustainability lecturer Melissa Halvorson, FM/AM is a fully studentproduced publication, built into the

Editorial photo shoots are conceived, artdirected and produced by students and utilize the thesis collections of the Fashion Program’s senior designers, but are shot by professional photographers.

Suns blaze in every color, with just one exception: There are no green stars. There are green meteors, and the aurora borealis is predominantly a pale green, and Uranus is as green as a shamrock, so it can materialize in the night sky. But never in stars.

little head is very blue – but no one has ever perceived this azure. At such low lightlevels, stars merely look white.

But you should see lovely pastels in many of the bright stars around Orion. If not, you may be a deuteranope. Dogs are deuteranopes, too, meaning that dogs all have red/ green colorblindness. To canines and elephants, as in the nine percent of human males who are deuteranopes, a rainbow is an unimpressive swatch of just two colors: yellow and blue.

With all this, one hue does manage to predominate: It’s the shade we see whenever hydrogen, the universe’s most abundant element, is hit with energy so that its single electron leaps from the second orbital state up to the third. When it falls back again, it emits light of exactly 6563 angstroms wavelength, which is a rich deep red. This goes on without variation throughout the universe.

That’s the most common color in the cosmos. We find virtually none of it in our own solar system, but never mind. Look instead at photos of nebulae and you’ll realize that the shade recurs like a haunting melody. This beautiful deep red is brushed onto every emission nebula, woven like a brocade into glowing gas clouds in every galaxy. Matching the scarlet of our blood, it’s the dominant color of our universe.

“Students write about topics and people that can offer some insight into these complex ideas. Editorial decisions are made by consensus based on adherence to this mission.” FM/AM is distributed to France, the UK, Spain, Portugal, Italy, New Zealand, Canada, Hong Kong, Japan and throughout the US. Also at Marist, internationally known art historian Alison McQueen will give a talk at 5 p.m. on Monday, April 16 on the subject of French fashion in the

mid-1800s. Professor of Art History and director of the School of the Arts at McMaster University in Hamilton, Canada, McQueen is the author of Empress Eugénie and the Arts: Politics and Visual Culture in the 19th Century.

“What Will I Wear? Fashion and Choice for France’s Empress Eugénie” is free and open to the public, and takes place in Room 2023 in the Hancock Center on the Marist College campus. To find out more, call (845) 575-3449 or visit www. marist.edu.

W

hat if I chewed words? Which utterances are as delightful and satisfying in my mouth as savoring Garvan’s potato-andleek soup, Krause’s raspberry cordials or Lagusta’s peanut butter cups? I am constantly finding ways to transform the fear, negativity and stress that persistently emerge in my daily life around cancer, elder care and parenting. Here are Ten Things that Feel Good to Say Out Loud and to Hear Myself Say Out Loud that I plan to say more often: • “This hand holds pain and suffering...This hand is not empty.” – Vassar Hospital chaplain • Dole Whip • “Mom’s spaghetti.” – Eminem • “I am a hot-blooded fire and I am fearless.” – Amy Schumer • “Wherever you are is called Here.” – David Waggoner • Constantinople • “When you knock me down I get the f**k back up again.” – Hercules Mulligan/ Lin-Manuel Miranda • “The road to enlightenment is long and difficult, and you should try not to forget snacks and magazines.” – Anne Lamott • “What I have not seen or failed to see, I leave as a gift.” – David Whyte, • Blessed be.

What words or phrases comfort or inspire you by speaking them aloud? Feel free to share them with me at kidsalmanac@ulsterpublishing.com.

PRAYER TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN. (Never known to fail.) Oh, most beautiful flower of Mt. Carmel, fruitful vine splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son of God. Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity. Oh, Star of the Sea, help me and show me herein you are my mother. Oh, Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth! I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in this necessity. There are none that can withstand your power. Oh, show me herein you are my mother. Oh Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee (3x). Holy Mother, I place this cause in your hands (3x). Holy Spirit, you who solve all problems, light all roads so that I can attain my goal. You who gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me and that in all instances in my life you are with me, I want in this short prayer to thank-you for all things as you confirm once again that I never want to be separated from you in eternal glory. Thank-you for your mercy towards me and mine. The person must say this prayer 3 consecutive days, the request will be granted. This prayer must be published after the favor is granted.
