Plans for rail-trail link to be presented in New Paltz on Tuesday

P

lans for the last leg connecting the Wallkill Valley and Hudson Valley rail trails will be unveiled by the state Department of Transportation on Tuesday, May 15 in New Paltz. When complete, the link will allow bicyclists and pedestrians to travel freely from Walkway over the Hudson to and from New Paltz, Kingston and Gardiner.

The meeting will be held from 6-8 p.m. at the New Paltz Community Center, 3 Veterans Drive, New Paltz. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn more about the project, and the public is encouraged to drop in any time during the open house and review the preliminary plans, ask questions and provide input.

The state, county and town of Lloyd are each handling part of the link’s THE PROJECT IS PART construction. Lloyd has a .7-mile stretch of trail from Tony Williams Park to the area where New Paltz Road meets Route 299, near Highland Fire Station of the 750-mile Empire State Trail, #2. From there, the county takes over for 1.25 miles, to the intersection which will stretch from New York City to of South Street and Route 299, opposite Lowe’s. The path on this section the Canadian border near Lake Champlain, follows the rail bed for the old Penn Central Railroad where possible, and and from Albany to Buffalo. the right-of-way along Route 299 where not.

From South Street, the state will take over, with a new trail running alongside Route 299, and a street-route through the denser part of New Paltz to the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail, which runs north and south along the Wallkill River. The exact route will be announced at the May 15 meeting, according to Department of Transportation spokeswoman Gina DiSarro.

The project is part of the 750-mile Empire State Trail, which will stretch from New York City to the Canadian border near Lake Champlain, and from Albany to Buffalo. It’s scheduled for completion in 2020. The Hudson Valley portion of the trail is called the Hudson Valley Greenway Trail.

A separate project, also currently under construction, will link the Mohonk Preserve with the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail in New Paltz. The six-mile “River to Ridge” trail is being built by the Open Space Institute, and is scheduled for completion by the end of this summer.

Chekhov’s drama Uncle Vanya, with a preview at 8 p.m. this Thursday, May 10 at the Mescal Hornbeck Community Center. Performances will continue for three weekends, through May 27, with Friday and Saturday evening performances beginning at 8 p.m. and Sunday matinées at 1:30 p.m.

Uncle Vanya shows us a dispirited family plagued by dashed hopes, misplaced idealism, unrequited love and ennui, yearning for change but unable to manage it. Their inability to see beyond their present circumstances is often funny as well as touching, and a reminder to the audience of how hard it is to change oneself. Beneath the surface of the deceptively mundane dialogue, passions seethe and eventually explode when a

retired professor, widowed and recently remarried, announces his plan to sell the country estate left him by his first wife, which has been the source of his own and his entire extended family’s prosperity.

Directed by Ellen Honig using a lively modern translation by Chekhov scholar Paul Schmidt, this production stars Ella Cattabiani, Ali Doggette, Gary Falk, Andrew Joffe, David Kent, John Lee, Abigail Robin, David Smilow and Darlene Suto (not to mention the legendary Chekhov’s Gun). Tickets cost $23 general admission, $20 for seniors and students. For information and reservations, call (845) 679-7900 or visit www.performingartsofwoodstock. org. The Mescal Hornbeck Community Center is located at 56 Rock City Road in

Local saxophonist Harvey Kaiser will serenade the paraders. The event will also feature vendors offering animal-related services and selling animal-related items.

Room Service (from left to right) featuring Willie Gus Neal, George Thomas, Lisa Love, Que Qui Castro and Lee Patterson. The band will be performing at Keegan Ales on Friday, May 18 at 9 p.m.

Frohawks and funk Lee Patterson runs Kingston’s Master Cuts Barbershop by day, Room Service band by night

D

espite the breakneck pace of technological and social change, dance bands and barbershops abide, fostering in-person connection, celebrating the communal, bringing joy. For 63-year-old Lee Patterson, the two go together: He’s both a bass-player and a master barber. His funk band Room Service and business Master Cuts Barbershop, located at 690 Broadway in Kingston, have each attracted a loyal following, tapping into a broad, diverse community.

The band’s playlist specializes in “old-school classics, like Kool and the Gang, the Spinners, Michael Jackson, Earth, Wind and Fire, Bob Marley, Grover Washington, Jr. and Sade,” according to Patterson. “Most of the popular hit songs never die and have universal appeal.”

Indeed, with its eminently danceable beat, big-hearted sound and tight, crisp delivery, Room Service stole the show at the arts celebration hosted by Kingston’s Midtown Arts District last September. Patterson founded the band six years ago, and its current members,

ranging in age from 28 to 73, are Patterson, saxophonist and lead singer Willie Gus Neal, drummer George Thomas, keyboardist and background singer Lisa Love and percussionist Quique Castro. The band will be performing at Keegan Ales on Friday, May 18 and at the Midtown Kingston Festival on August 11. It also plans to participate in festivals – provided the gigs aren’t too far away, given that most of the members have day jobs. In Patterson’s case, being a bass-player and a master barber entail an equal measure of stamina: “All I do is stand all day and then do a gig and stand some more,” he said.

Not that life ever gets boring in the barbershop: Master Cuts’ clients include “Spanish, Jamaicans, Asians. Everyone comes here…Last Saturday, there wasn’t one black person in the shop, whereas sometimes it’s all blacks.” In eight years of doing business, the shop has a loyal clientele and spans generations: His youngest customers are toddlers. “I’ve seen a lot of kids grow up here,” Patterson said.

Some days, Patterson and his two barbers, Dennis Washington and Ryan, are so busy that they skip lunch. “You’re fatigued,” said Ryan (who preferred not to give his last name). “Thank God we have the Chinese restaurant next door.”

“Sometimes you get the food and don’t eat it,” added Patterson.

Patterson began cutting his friends’ and family members’ hair as a teen. “A friend said, ‘You should open a barber shop. You’re good.’” Jobs were scarce, so he followed his friend’s advice and apprenticed to a barber, subsequently cutting hair in Monticello and Liberty before opening his Kingston shop. His overhead is relatively low, given that all his furnishings – including the two barber chairs – were picked up at yard sales, thrift stores and from shops going out of

business.

Dennis Washington, who also works at the Boys and Girls Club, has 20 years’ experience (and once ran his own shop, according to Patterson). Ryan, who used to work at the grocery store in his hometown of Margaretville, got his barbering license in a school in New York City. Patterson was his barber and encouraged him to get certified after Ryan, who’d been cutting hair in Fleischmanns, expressed interest in working for him. “You either get an apprenticeship and work for so many hours, or go to barber school or BOCES,” Patterson explained, noting that schooltrained barbers have to complete 264 hours of training and apprentices 3,000 hours.

The ingredients of a successful barbershop are Quality, Personality and Atmosphere, according to Patterson.

“There’s no competition if you’re the best,” he says, noting that his shop charges $20 for a cut, including a beard-and-mustache trim.

Quality refers to skill, creativity and comprehensiveness. Customers, who include women as well as men, can get any style cut they like. Ryan shows me a photo on his phone of the “Frohawk,” a combination of an Afro and a Mohawk popular with the younger crowd. The shaved sides blend more gently into the hair on top than the traditional Mohawk.

“We get a lot of skin fades” – essentially the same cut – “which has a shape,” he said.

The “trends recycle, so you’ve done these cuts 1,000 times,” said Patterson.

Cuts can be blunt, layered, waved or brushed. He also does “black perms,” which straighten the hair and use different chemicals from those used on Caucasian hair. “Caucasians want their hair curly” – a part-time beautician does the curly perms and hair-coloring – “while black people

May 10, 2018 want it straight,” he said. “I make it curly afterwards.”

Back in the 1970s, it was called a Jheri curl and was popular with gangsters and pimps. They wore their long curls over their Puma tracksuits, Patterson recalled.

“It was greasy as a mother, and the back of your collar was soaking. I still do them, and some women want it. Most are older people. It’s less upkeep. With the standard perm, you have to get it washed and set every couple of days and come in every week, while this lasts for months.”

Besides cuts and facial-hair trims, Master Cuts offers an old-fashioned shave. Ryan uses a straight razor because “the lines are crisper and there’s no hair after the shave.

Everyone would like to be finished with the razor, because it makes them feel different. It’s a mind-teaser.”

Patterson uses his electric shaver, which he claims “is sharp enough so it cuts down” – but never below the skin, into the “white meat.”

Actually, Master Cuts’ barbers will trim or shape anywhere there’s hair, from the collarbone on up. “I’ll take the straight razor and make slits through the eyebrows,” Patterson said. “We’ll trim the ears and nose and hair poking out of their shirts,” added Ryan. But “I’m stopping there; no butt-cracks,” joked Patterson.

The Personality aspect of the business “means that you ask a client, ‘How you doing?’ and make them feel comfortable as soon as they walk through the door,” Patterson said. “When they leave, they feel 100 percent better and say, ‘I’m glad I came by. You made my day.’”

“Their confidence is boosted,” added Ryan. “When they leave, they’re ready to take on the world.” Common topics of conversation are politics, family, jobs, sports and relationships, said Patterson.

“A lot of customers we know by their first name, and we pick up the conversation we were having the last time they were here,” said Ryan. Many clients come in once a week: same day, same time. “We get to know what our customers are going through, which helps.”

Master Cuts sticks with tradition when it comes to the third essential ingredient, Atmosphere. “Younger barbershops are very different. They play rap, have videos and everyone’s on their cellphone. They don’t hardly talk anymore,” said Patterson.

In contrast, “I have an old-fashioned feel.”

The shop plays R & B and soul music, hits from the 1970s and 1980s, including Earth, Wind and Fire, George Benson, the Temptations – “old-school stuff,” he noted.

Hours are generally from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday, and sometimes longer on the weekends, depending on how many customers there are. The average cut takes 20 minutes, so they’ll take people up to around 6:30 on weekends. The dartboard and double mini-baskets hung on one wall are staff amenities. Once the door is locked, “We unwind with basketball,” said Ryan. Added Patterson: “We spend the whole day cutting hair and listening to the people talking, so at the end of the day, we’re exhausted.”

Customers are discouraged from lingering: “They give me respect and say, ‘Let’s go outside’ if there’s an argument,” Patterson noted.

“This is a business, and if they mess up any shot they have, they can’t come back anymore.”

Patterson also encourages fathers to bond with their sons through reading, as attested by his participation in Barbershop Books, a New York City-based initiative that distributes children’s books to barbershops to be read by dads to their kids while they’re waiting to get their hair cut. “One of my customers, Irwin Rosenthal, put me onto it,” Patterson said.

“He was down in the City, saw the books, told me about the website – and the next thing I know, he texted me that he was sponsoring me, because I have a great shop and all the kids come here.” Master Cuts has been part of the program for a couple of years. One particularly popular book is No David, in which the main character, a kid named David, breaks all the adults’ rules.

Patterson, who has six kids and lives in Kingston, said that he’s starting to see the neighborhood change, though he has never complained. “It’s not so bad,” he said. “You never see any kind of violence in the streets. Fights happen here and there, but you see that everywhere.” He said that he has a good landlord and doesn’t worry

The ingredients of a successful barbershop are Quality, Personality and Atmosphere, according to Patterson.

“There’s no competition if you’re the best.”

that he’ll get displaced. “He just bought the building and wants me to stay.”

As our interview winds down, Room Service band members begin to arrive for the weekly practice session. Patterson has been playing bass since he was 14 and has been performing in bands, including Lee and the Funkmasters, Day One, the Dreadnots and the Ravers, for 30 years.

He performed with recording artist and New York Blues Hall of Fame inductee Slam Allen and has opened for bands such as BT Express.

Over the years Room Service has had many musicians. Lisa Love, who plays keyboard and sings background vocals, is the newest member. She’s a singer/ songwriter from Woodstock who studied classical music as a child and knows Patterson from a Latin band that they were in together.

Lead singer and saxophonist Willie Gus Neal took up the instrument 11 years ago, on his 45th birthday, at the behest of his wife; after purchasing a sax at Barcone’s, he taught himself to play and joined the band four years ago. Born and raised in Poughkeepsie, Neal is the cook for the Mid-Hudson Regional Hospital.

Twenty-eight-year-old drummer George Thomas, who has been with the band for a year-and-a-half, is a 2008 graduate of Kingston High School, where he was in the jazz band under the direction of Robert Shaut. The experience was “pretty important,” he said, noting that he also played gospel and was in a rock band

with guitar-player Adam Sickler. “This is the first time I’m playing funk in a band, and the style is a lot more adaptable than I thought. It’s kind of like a mixture of jazz and blues put together with a lot of chops. It’s really basic, and the little notes are highlighted. It has a lot more soul.”

Thomas added that the difference in ages isn’t a problem for him, given that “I grew up in a church, and all the musicians I’ve played with are Lee’s age.” Thomas just graduated from the Ridley-Lowell Business & Technical Institute, where he trained to be an electrician.

/Ed ZE d/KE > E Ed Z d/sK>/ Ez E E d Z dd / E

Few national bands are as associated with a single town as strongly as the Feelies are with Hoboken, New Jersey. The flagship band of a scene that reenergized and intellectualized punk and New Wave in the early ’80s, the mature Feelies have been resurgent for a number of years now, with Crazy Rhythms going on 40 years in the rearview. The Hoboken they knew is long gone, and – lucky for us – the Hudson Valley has become a point of emphasis for this genuinely important rock band.

The Feelies return to BSP on Friday, May 11 at 8:30 p.m. Tickets for this two-set

tional Mexican tunes to classical music, Gypsy jazz and a nod to Jimi Hendrix. Gutierrez’s seasoned trio includes Bob Stern on violin and Dave Rodriguez on bass. Meanwhile, as the music flows, you find you are at Opus 40, which is never quite believable to begin with. Special guest George Stavis opens the show.

Tickets cost $35 in advance, $50 on the day of the concert, $30 for members. For reservations and more information, visit www.opus40.org. Opus 40 is located at 50 Fite Lane in Saugerties.

Tito Puente, Jr. performs this Saturday at the Ritz in Newburgh

Raised by the greatest and more than just a torchbearer of the family brand, Latin jazz legend Tito Puente, Jr. performs at the Ritz Theater in Newburgh, Saturday, May 12 at 8 p.m.

Puente’s orchestra includes baritone, tenor and alto sax, one or two trombones and two trumpets. “That’s something that’s lacking today,” he notes. “They don’t have that power of the brass section.” A five-piece rhythm section with conga, timbales, bass, piano and trap set completes the ensemble.

Proceeds from this concert benefit the Nora Cronin Presentation Academy Student Scholarship Fund. Tickets cost $25 for general concert/dance admission only; $50 for reserved-table concert seating and hors d’oeuvres; $100 for reserved-table concert seating, hors d’ oeuvres, 6:30 p.m. Tito Jr. “Meet & Greet” and dance lesson. The Ritz Theater is located at 107 Broadway in Newburgh.

Ramp Romp benefit concert in Woodstock this Saturday Nothing like a good ramp benefit.

The historic Byrdcliffe Theater, looming above Woodstock for a century and revitalized now as a working, modern venue, needs a wheelchair ramp.

These things aren’t cheap, or necessarily easy to append to a historic and rustic building.

Woodstock being Woodstock, the talent lending itself to its cause is pretty highend and eccentric. The performancepoetry-and-satire duo of Mikhail Horowitz & Gilles Malkine is never dull. The great songwriter, improviser and cultural ringleader Paul McMahon is Woodstock, as far as I am concerned.

Singer/songwriter Sandy Bell has been a luminous addition to the local talent pool in recent years. This is one heck of a benefit bill.

The Ramp Romp takes place at the Kleinert/James Center for the Arts on Saturday, May 12 at 8 p.m. Tickets cost $30 general admission, $27 for Byrdcliffe members and $45 for the VIP treatment (first two rows). The Kleinert/James Center for the Arts is located at 36 Tinker Street in Woodstock. For more information, visit www.woodstockguild.org.

The Bardavon celebrates “Kurt Grishman: A Life in Music” on Thursday, May 10 at 7 p.m. Violinist Kurt Grishman was a member of the Hudson Valley Philharmonic (HVP) for more than 50 years. Born in Berlin in 1919, he was arrested by the Nazis on Kristallnacht, November 9, 1938 and interned in Sachsenhausen concentration camp.

He emigrated from Nazi Germany in the 1940s and helped found the HVP shortly after his arrival in New York. He passed away last year at the age of 97.

This event will celebrate Grishman’s life with music performances, video, stories and memorabilia. The Bardavon is located at 35 Market Street in Poughkeepsie. For more information, visit www.bardavon.org.

Woodstock Forum presents Schickele & Sindall this Saturday Composer and musical parodist Peter Schickele teams with the poet and memoirist Susan Sindall in “Under One Roof,” an evening of mixed media and conflation of the arts.

Best-known as the ne’er-do-well family disgrace PDQ Bach, Schickele has sustained a parallel career as a legitimate composer and performer of serious music. A former dancer who has studied the craft of poetry with such 20th-century luminaries as Jean Valentine, Robert Bly and Galway Kinnell, Sindall will read from an informal memoir that includes her own poetry and that of her teachers and mentors.

“Under One Roof ” takes place on Saturday, May 12 at 5 p.m. at the Woodstock Library, located at 6 Library Lane in Woodstock.

Rosine launches new record this Saturday at Catskill Pines

ALMANAC WEEKLY

May 10, 2018

Mark Lerner, and both the scattershot, attention-deficient heterogeneity of L and its unfailing prettiness and musical intelligence will come as zero surprise to anyone who has spent more than a minute working on a tune with him. A conceptual idea-man if ever I have known one, Lerner plays bass and serves as principal arranger in the legendary Beefheartian New York City band Life in a Blender. He performed and recorded with John Linnell and the Statesmen, a They Might Be Giants side project of note. He has worked with Amy Allison (Mose’s daughter and a prolific, cognoscenti-pick songwriter herself, who is covered here). He works locally with Mark Donato and others. And so on and so on. Rosine is his longstanding trickledown pan, and so its radically mixed nature is no surprise and no accident.

L reaches, L stretches, L is willing to fail. Modernist chamber music or just eccentric, irreverent folk with some exotic harmonic strivings? The handful of proper songs here reveal a writer of such utterly exacting taste and standards, it makes you think that he probably buried a few too many of their slightly inferior siblings. But in the end, the diversity of L is hardly pellmell. If, at any point, the compositional and instrumental experiments make you start to yearn for another perfect folksong, blammo! There’s another perfect folksong.

Just like you asked.

Rosine celebrates the release of this singular record on Saturday, May 12 at 9 p.m. at the Catskill Pines, located at 5327 Route 212 in Mount Tremper. The ad hoc ensemble assembled for this show features Lerner and includes vocalist Nancy Howell, guitarist Chris Maxwell, drummer Lukas Lerner and violinist Carrie Bradley, formerly of the Breeders, who will also perform her own exquisitely weird folksongs as an opener. To hear L, visit https://rosine.bandcamp.com.

Rosine’s incomparably rich new release L can seem restless, flitting and desultory – exasperatingly so.

Like, a) how can there be a song/arrangement as great as the Chris Maxwell-produced should-be hit “Pretty Little Weed,” and b) how can it be the only song in that rocking roots/pop vein on the entire record? What about the achingly elegant indie ballad “From Way up Here,” in which the songwriter’s grown daughter sings the searching, existential lyrics penned by her father as he gazed down into her crib, wondering whether adult life is something he would even wish upon his worst enemies? It could be the key song on the soundtrack of Juno II. And what’s with all the bass solos?

The Fahey-inspired rags? The bird choirs of “Believing is Seeing,” like a naïve and folksy Francis Poulenc? The near-string quartets? The cartoonish Piazzolla homage? What about the expired pitch to George Jones’ people, “If I Didn’t Lie to You”?

WTF is this?

aking a leap beyond its regular film programming schedule and irregular special events calendar, the Rosendale Theatre is programming a full week this month, May 11 to 17, jam-packed with oneoffs, collectively called the Local Connections Festival. Consisting of screenings of four documentary films and a movie-in-progress, a live tribute concert and a lecture-and-film-clips combo, all but one of the offerings are loosely united under the rubric of “art made in the Hudson Valley.”

At 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, May 11 and 12, the stage will be set for Fragile Explosion: Nina Simone, a Celebration of a Life of Genius, described as a “play-within-a-concert” honoring the late singer/songwriter/arranger/Civil Rights activist. The dramatic core is written by Michael Monasterial and directed

by Richard Rizzo; a five-piece ensemble of local jazz stars will perform 11 songs closely associated with Nina Simone. Tickets cost $20 in advance at https:// ninasimone.brownpapertickets.com or $25 at the door.

At 2 p.m. on Sunday, May 13, two Ulster County-based choreographers, Livia Drapkin Vanaver and Linda Diamond, will present The Divine Miss St. Denis, a lecture with film footage on the life and work of American modern dance pioneer Ruth St. Denis, co-founder of the Denishawn Dance Company. Tickets cost $10 for members of the Rosendale Theatre Collective, $12 for non-members, $6 for students aged 12 years and under. That same evening at 7:15 p.m., the Theatre will screen How They Got Over, an award-winning documentary about the history of gospel music produced by Stone Ridge resident Robert Clem. It features the Dixie Hummingbirds, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the Blind Boys of Alabama and more. Tickets cost $6 for members, $8 for non-members.

In the 1930s, the charismatic black preacher known as Father Divine established a number of communal settlements in Ulster County. A documentary about the movement titled Father’s Kingdom will screen at 7:15 p.m. on Monday, May 14, with producer/director Lenny Feinberg on hand for a question-and-answer session. Tickets cost $6 for members, $8 for non-members. At 7:15 p.m. on Tuesday, May 15, Pam Kray will present a preview screening of Waiting for Godard, her work-in-progress being produced under the aegis of the Rosendale Theatre’s Artists’ New Work Forum program. The suggested admission price is $5.

The one event in the festival with no apparent “Local Connection” is the concert film Carole King at Hyde Park, shot live in London in 2016. It screens at 7:15 p.m. on Wednesday, May 16. Tickets cost $8 and $6. Also on Wednesday, at 1 p.m., and again at 7:15 p.m. on Thursday, May 17, the director/producer Stephen Blauweiss will return to the Theatre for two screenings of his documentary about Kingston’s historic waterfront, Lost Rondout: A Story of Urban Renewal. Tickets cost $8 for members, $10 for non-members for the evening showing and $6 for the matinée.

The Local Connections Festival is made possible through sponsorship from the 1850 House, the Hudson Valley Film Commission, the Ulster County Office of Economic Development and a grant from the New York State Council on the Arts. The Rosendale Theatre is located at 408 Main Street (Route 213) in Rosendale. For more info, visit www.rosendaletheatre.org.

new release, “The Evening Hymn.”

As a pianist, Bagatov’s interpretations of Bach, Schubert, Beethoven, Messiaen and Ravel, as well as composers of the Russian avant-garde and American Minimalists John Cage and Philip Glass, have distinguished him as one of the most versatile and innovative contemporary musicians. As a composer, he has influenced the character of Russian music by expanding it to include all forms of sound, from ancient rituals to rock and pop cultures to computer technologies.

The language of his compositions is rooted in the harmonic and rhythmic patterns of Russian church bells and folksongs mixed with the spirit of Buddhist philosophy.

This event will benefit the Cragsmoor Historical Society and the Stone Church.

General admission for the concert costs $25; VIP admission, including a reception with the artist, costs $45. To purchase tickets in advance, visit www.eventbrite. com; additional information is available at www.cragsmoorhistoricalsociety.com.

New Folk trailblazers, massive hitmakers and ardent social activists, the Indigo Girls are synonymous with the lighter side of ’90s music – which is to say pretty darn dark themselves, but leavened with a fine sense of close harmony and with songs that sport at least glimmers of hope and redemption. They have remained productive in the studio and are a failsafe concert attraction.

EVENT

LIVE READING OF NICHOLAS KAHN & RICHARD SELESNICK’S 100 VIEWS OF THE DROWNING WORLD IN HUDSON

L

ike to think of yourself as a connoisseur of the weird? Then you need to acquaint yourself, if you haven’t already, with the mysterious dreamlike visions of the artist team of Nicholas Kahn & Richard Selesnick. Inspired by Dada, Surrealism and the novels and plays of Samuel Beckett, self-proclaimed absurdists Kahn and Selesnick have been collaborating since they met while attending art school at Washington University in St. Louis in the early 1980s.

They work primarily in the fields of photography and installation art, specializing in fictitious histories set in the past or future. Hudson’s Carrie Haddad Gallery has been a longtime champion of the duo’s creations, which Art + Design has described as “cautionary mythology.”

In addition to exhibitions and installations, the pair have already published three books with Aperture Press: Scotlandfuturebog, City of Salt and Apollo Prophecies. Their latest, 100 Views of the Drowning World, was issued by Candela Books in 2017, and will be the basis of their live presentation on Saturday, May 19 at Hudson Hall in the historic Hudson Opera House.

Against a backdrop of ecological decline, this memoir/travelogue follows Dr. Falke, Count Orlofsky and Madame Lulu, three members of an itinerant theatrical troupe known as the Truppe Fledermaus, as they perform in various locations in Europe, England, America and Japan. In these absurdist performances, often staged in nature with no audience, the Truppe members are as apt to commemorate the passing of an unusual cloud as to document their own attempts to flee the rising waters of a warming planet, or use black humor to comment upon the extinction of bats or other animals.

The book (monograph is perhaps a better word), whose physical design format is modeled on ukiyo-e series such as Hiroshige’s 100 Views of Edo, contains photographs of the Truppe, their travels and their performances with corresponding text narrating the images. It is the authors’ preference to have the pages of the book be loose and non-linear, so that readers can explore the images and story in any order they prefer. As the incidents related in the book are frequently based on the artists’ personal experiences and travels, the reader is led to speculate about the somewhat arbitrary manner in which we build narratives out of our own experiences. With each visit to this collection, the story is reimagined.

A reading of 100 Views of the Drowning World will begin at 5 p.m. on Saturday, May 19 at Hudson Hall, followed by a booksigning and reception with the authors. This event is free, but reservations are encouraged. For more information, phone (518) 822-1438 or visit http://hudsonhall.org. The Hudson Opera House is located at 327 Warren Street in Hudson.

Many an amazing art career has been hatched there over the decades.

Keeping its courses and residencies affordable means that the not-for-profit organization has to throw a fundraising event every now and then, and the Gala & Auction coming up on Sunday, May 20 – the 11th of its kind – is WSW’s top-shelf annual affair. The venue for this year’s soirée is the elegant and contemporary Senate Garage in Kingston’s Uptown Stockade District.

Cocktails and gourmet hors d’oeuvres will accompany the silent and live auctions that go on from 3 to 7 p.m.

Each year’s WSW Gala honors someone for their dedication to serving artists and the community. For 2018, the honorees will be Dani ReStack and Annie O’Neill. ReStack began WSW’s clay program following her studio internship in 1997. Pursuing a career in film and sculpture has led her to her work being shown at the 2017 Whitney Biennial and the Toronto Film Festival. She has been the recipient of the Wexner Center Film/ Video Residency, the Kazuko Award and the Astraea Lesbian Foundation for Justice Visual Arts Grant.

If you’ve ever attended WSW’s fabulous wintertime party, the Chili Bowl Fiesta, you know Annie O’Neill’s fun and festive ceramicware, typically sporting Mexican folk motifs. A longtime friend of the Workshop, Gardiner resident, painter, sculptor and potter O’Neill is also a community leader and environmentalist, working with such regional organizations as Unison Arts Center in New Paltz and Friends of the Shawangunks. She has dedicated countless hours over to supporting WSW’s events and programs.

Tickets to the 2018 WSW Gala & Auction cost $125 per person. Tables for eight may be purchased for $800. For more information, call (845) 658-9133 or visit https://wsworkshop.org/supportus/gala18.

HISTORY Historic House Tour explores Saugerties’ Palatine history

After a hiatus of six years, the Saugerties Historic House Tour is back.

Two bus tours, each carrying a guide, will be available on Saturday, May 19: a morning excursion leaving Saugerties High School at 9 a.m. and an afternoon tour leaving from the same location at 1 p.m. Each tour will last approximately three hours.

The tours are sponsored by the Town of Saugerties Historic Preservation Commission, and they will focus on the northern quadrant of Saugerties, where tourgoers will learn about the area’s historic connection with the Palatine immigrants of 1710, who established a community in West Camp.

Some members of that original community moved west, reaching central New York and northern Pennsylvania, but others stayed in Saugerties, particularly in the Asbury area. Earlier this year, the Town of Saugerties Historic Preservation Commission began the process of designating the Asbury settlement as a historic rural landscape district – a first for Saugerties, according to Preservation Commission member Susan Puretz.

“We have individual houses registered as historic,” she says, “but this is the first district.” The designation will include the Trumpbour Homestead (a National and State Historic Register landmark) along with several stone houses, two Colonial roadbeds, a Methodist cemetery of national significance and archaeological sites of lost settlement areas recorded on old surveys.

The bus-tour route will offer views of some of the 68 stone houses in Asbury, Saxton and Blue Mountain. In addition to the Palatines, the influence of the English, German and Dutch settlers is also found in the northern quadrant. While there are many similarities in construction techniques of the various groups of settlers, there are also notable differences. The guide on each bus will point out interesting details on the drive, and an informative brochure will be provided with route descriptions as well as useful architectural and historic facts.

The bus will stop to explore the interiors of three of these stone houses, which date from the late 1700s to the early 1800s.

The first house, says Puretz, is an elegant home that was built on land farmed by one of the original Palatines. House two is a working farm, in the owners’ family for many generations. The third house, where the tour concludes, is an example of a “bank house,” built into the side of a bank. “You enter downstairs,” Puretz explains. “If you look at it from one side, you only see the top

Walk the Widow Jane Mine Geology tour on Sunday illuminates Rosendale’s cement-mining history

S

ay the word “Rosendale” to anyone who has lived in the Hudson Valley and their first association may very well be “cement.” Rosendale was put on the map, so to speak, in the 19th century because of the natural cement industry that flourished there. Natural cement mined in Rosendale was used in the construction of many of our country’s historic structures, including the Brooklyn Bridge, Grand Central Terminal, the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty and the US Capitol.

But what is it about the rock mined in Rosendale that made it especially suited for use as a natural hydraulic cement?

According to Steve Schimmrich, Geology and Earth Science professor at SUNY-Ulster, “Rosendale is one of a few places around the world where the rock has just the right components to make natural cement, where all you have to do is crush the rock, heat it and powder it.”

Schimmrich will lead a leisurely geology walk to the Widow Jane Mine at the Century House Historical Society (CHHS) at the Snyder Estate in Rosendale on Sunday, May 13 at 1 p.m., which is also the site’s opening day for the season. A Century House Board of Trustees member as well as a geologist, Schimmrich will discuss the unique and fascinating geology of the area.

The Rosendale Natural Cement District, added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1992, actually runs from High Falls through Rosendale to Kingston, notes Schimmrich. And the history of the cement industry in the region is tied closely to the creation of the D & H Canal, he says, built with local cement and then becoming a means to transport it elsewhere.

“When they were planning to build the canal, they were going to import natural cement from the Syracuse area. But when they discovered it in High Falls in the 1830s, it saved the private investors who built the canal a lot of money.” By the end of the 19th century, Schimmrich adds, Rosendale was supplying more than half of the cement used in the US. Those on the geology walk this Sunday will also learn about the geological history of the region going back a good deal further than the 19th century. Rosendale was once covered by a shallow tropical sea, Schimmrich says, the fossils remaining today are proof of this: coral and seashell fossils formed at the bottom of a sea during the Devonian Period, 350 to 400 million years ago.

The 1 o'clock walk this Sunday is free to CHHS members and open to the public for a $5 suggested donation. The Century House Museum in the Snyder Estate will be open to visitors as well, until 4 p.m. Admission is included in the fee for the walk.

– Sharyn Flanagan Geology Walk to Widow Jane Mine, Sunday, May 13, 1 p.m., $5, Century House Historical Society, Snyder Estate, 668 Route 213, Rosendale; (845) 658-9900, www.centuryhouse.org.

floor, but on the other side, you can see it’s actually two-and-a-half stories.”

Complimentary refreshments will be served at the third house, whose owner is also on the Preservation Commission committee organizing the tour. In a fun

twist on the historic theme for the day, she will offer refreshments of a type that would have been served in the era when the house was built.

Charlize Theron plays an overworked mom in Tully.

Mom, get help Tully wrings wry comedy from the dark underbelly of new motherhood

E

ver wonder if the human capacity for ironic humor evolved as a mechanism for coping with otherwise-unbearable stress and trauma? Many readers will nod their heads sagely upon reading this, thinking of how the graveyard yuk has served that function in their own lives. It often helps us get through another day that doesn’t bear thinking about.

But its efficacy also has its limits.

One of the first things that audiences will notice (and find likable) about Marlo (Charlize Theron), the very pregnant protagonist we meet in the first reel of Tully – the latest clever collaboration between director Jason Reitman and screenwriter Diablo Cody – is that ability to defang harsh realizations with a dose of snark. She may be a stereotypical white suburban mom who has settled for a settled life, an unchallenging career and an amiable-but-unengaged husband, but she’s clearly whip-smart. With the demands of another infant imminent, she’s also feeling overwhelmed.

New motherhood, even with only one child, is always a more complex and difficult challenge than our culture is typically willing to admit. We go on to make jokes about those days when finding the time or energy to take a shower seemed like the Holy Grail. Bigger families are reliable grist for heartwarming situation comedy on the page and onscreen: Think of jolly clans like those in Cheaper by the Dozen, Please Don’t Eat the Daisies, The Brady Bunch, where the stuff of madness and dysfunction gets bowdlerized into mere wholesome wackiness. They set an unattainable social bar, and we secretly berate ourselves for all the times when we as parents fall short.

Embarking on her maternity leave from a job that we never actually see, Marlo is already having difficulty coping with the special needs of her kindergartner Jonah (Asher Miles Fallica), who has some sort of unnamed autism-spectrum disorder that makes him hypersensitive to certain noises and prone to relentless tantrums.

Marlo has several confrontations with the

principal (Gameela Wright) at the kids’ private school ( jokily called St. Vitus’) about his “quirkiness� and inability to fit in.

Jonah’s older sister Sarah (Lia Frankland) is easier, but in peril of becoming the “overlooked� kid. Meanwhile, husband Drew (Ron Livingston) has a job that keeps him away from home for long periods, and, while wellintentioned and doing his part with overseeing the kids’ homework, he’s clueless about the daily strain and drain that Marlo is undergoing – especially once baby Mia is born.

To this reviewer’s knowledge, there has never been a mainstream movie like Tully, in terms of its ferocious honesty about the exhaustion, unrelenting messiness and terrifying sense of isolation of new motherhood. If you’ve been there, you’ll be grateful to see the postpartum ordeal depicted so grittily and grungily. The film still manages to qualify as a comedy, but without glossing anything over with unearned cuteness.

Fortunately, Marlo is privileged to have a brother, Craig (Mark Duplass), who has attained considerably more financial success than she and Drew have. That makes for some awkward moments at a family dinner, where every aspect of Craig’s apparently perfect home life (the depiction of which is overloaded with corny upscaleBrooklyn-hipster jokes and falls flattest of any scene in the movie) reinforces Margo’s sense of inadequacy. Her brother can see how frazzled she is, though, and offers to pay for the services of a “night nanny� to help his sister navigate the coming storm of a wailing infant.

Aghast at the suggestion at first, Marlo relents and fishes in her handbag for the nanny’s business card after a particularly bad meltdown outside Jonah’s school.

That’s when we meet the title character (Mackenzie Davis), an empathetic, wisebeyond-her-26-years boho free spirit who

takes baby matters in hand with total aplomb and allows Marlo to catch up on some desperately needed sleep, waking her only to breastfeed. Before long the house is miraculously straightened up, decorated cupcakes are ready for Jonah to take to school and Mom is starting to wear makeup again – and wondering how to rekindle some sparks with Drew. More importantly, Tully provides a ready ear, sound advice about self-care and a sense of powerful female friendship. Theron and Davis have astonishing (and absolutely necessary, narrativewise) chemistry together.

It’s at this point that the audience will wonder if Tully is poised to head down the “deranged killer nanny� genre route. This is not that kind of movie, although it doesn’t pull any punches when it comes to being disturbing. Nor should you dismiss it in advance as a bourgeois fairytale about how nice life can be for those who can afford paid help. To say more about what kind of movie it really is, or what other movie it’ll ultimately remind you of, would be to give away far too much. Suffice it to say that the twist ending is the well-earned sort that will make you want to go back and see Tully a second time to spot the clues you might’ve missed. – Frances Marion Platt

any of my colleagues in the astronomy world are shocked and appalled by the recent “flat Earth” upsurge. We send each other links to websites “proving” that Earth is shaped like a pancake, meaning flat. Those sites include letters from readers who express gratitude for being given the “truth.”

But every amateur stargazer knows our world is a sphere. Since all the planets and moons seen through telescopes are balls, it would mean that ours alone is different.

We’d need some special physical reason a single pancake formed in space, when gravity makes all blobs contract into balls: the only shape whose surface is equidistant from its center. It’s the geometric solid with the smallest surface area. Only the tiniest objects, like some asteroids and comets, have too little gravity to do the job.

Hold your breath and lower your eyes to just an inch or two above the Hudson’s surface.

You’ll see the far shoreline vanish behind Earth’s curve!

next sunset, phone some California friends and ask them to look out the window and tell you how high up is the Sun. They’ll report the Sun to be halfway up the sky.

But at that same moment it’s on the horizon as seen from here. This obviously means that Earth cannot be flat.

Method B involves being in calm water, like in the Hudson or a large lake. Hold your breath and lower your eyes to just an inch or two above the surface. You’ll see the far shoreline vanish behind Earth’s curve! That’s right: A mile or two is enough to block the far

side of the river or lake behind our planet’s curvature. It’s dramatic, and very cool.

Unfortunately, other aspects of nature are less logical.

Take below-ground temperature. All of us with wells know that the water comes up at very nearly 52 degrees Fahrenheit.

Nowadays, when we’re running garden hoses a lot, or filling a hot tub, we measure the cold water to be 52 or 53 degrees. This is true whether our well is 40 feet or 400 feet deep. It suggests a chilly interior to Earth.

But lava and volcanoes argue otherwise.

My point is that water temperatures contradict what people experience in deep

Sometimes science and logic fail us altogether. For example, if we shoot an electron toward a phosphor-coated sheet of glass – like an ordinary TV screen

electron detectors along the way show that before smashing into the TV screen, the electron has not taken either Path A or Path B. It also has not divided itself and taken both paths, nor has it arrived by taking neither path by somehow avoiding the entire setup.

Those are the only choices our logic can entertain. If the rational world is to be trusted, the electron must have experienced one of those four possibilities, as there are no others. Yet the electron nonetheless did “something else”: something other than A, B, both or neither.

Physicists are now used to this. They even have a name for such illogical behavior: of objects conducting themselves outside any of the choices imposed by common sense. They say that the electron was in a state of superposition – that is, it was free to exercise all possibilities, even if the choices are mutually exclusive.

So we can’t always trust logic. This means that deep questions about the Big Bang, death, the reality of time, the nature of consciousness, whether all events are random and many others must allow a lot of wiggle room. It is here where strict rationalists cut others no slack, but where metaphysicians say that such mysteries are resolvable only through “enlightenment” (meaning non-logical) direct experiences.

So the bottom line may be that science does not have the last word, after all.

Nonetheless, through it all, Earth will remain spherical.

Reichheld, section chief of the New York City Department of Environmental Protection’s Bureau of Water Supply, will discuss how DEP’s Stream Management Program is working with county soil and water conservation districts to restore the physical forms of streams and solve local erosion and flooding problems (expected to worsen with climate change), as well as local community planning to identify projects that will help flood resiliency. Spada, aquatic ecologist at the DEP Bureau of Water Supply, has more than 20 years’ experience studying the biological resources found in New York State’s freshwater systems. He will discuss the biology of freshwater systems and how changes in aquatic environments caused by changing climate impacts the ecological diversity and structure of these systems.

This species was unknown to modern science until 1941, when 150-million-year-old fossil trees were discovered and described by a Chinese paleobotanist as an ancient variety of conifers.

five feet in diameter. They are hardy in USDA Zones 5 to 8, and can tolerate air pollution and waterlogged soils.

There is an unusual trait of this species: In the winter, when the dawn redwood loses its leaves, don’t think it is dead and start to cut it down! The dawn redwood is a deciduous conifer, like its American cousin the bald cypress and the more distantly related larch (or tamarack).

The trunks have fibrous, stringy lightbrown bark. In the winter, it looks like a tree drawn by an artistic middle-schooler, with symmetrical bare branches and a pyramidal-shaped top. In the spring, the branches sprout feathery green leaves, which turn reddish-brown in the fall.

Small (one-inch) cones start out green, then mature into a brown color.

WOODSTOCK DAY SCHOOL NURSERY THROUGH GRADE 12

Your giant neighbors on Kingston’s Academy Green

A

cademy Green is situated where Midtown Kingston meets Uptown Kingston. This historic spot, a city park since 1918, is home to a dozen trees of an ancient lineage: Metasequoia glyptostroboides, or dawn redwoods. This species was unknown to modern science until 1941, when 150-million-year-old fossil trees were discovered and described by a Chinese paleobotanist as an ancient variety of conifers.

Other fossil trees, found across the Northern Hemisphere and in Australia and thought to have been extinct for two million years, have also been recognized as Metasequoias. In 1944, a forester in a remote area of China discovered a previously unknown “fir� tree that was part of a local shrine. More individuals of this unusual tree were found in remote areas in China in the same decade, and were recognized to be the same species as the fossil trees.

The tree received its modern scientific name in 1946. Only two years later, seeds and seedlings were brought to the Arnold

Arboretum in Boston, Massachusetts, and it quickly became a popular ornamental tree, not only in the US but worldwide. Although its survival as a cultivated tree seems secure, and it is a protected species in China, it is endangered in its last wild locations due to overharvesting of seeds and seedlings.

How did these trees come to be in Kingston? No doubt because of the popularity of this exotic ancient species in the last half of the 20th century.

Members of the Ulster Garden Club report that the dozen dawn redwoods were planted as saplings by local resident and horticulturist Herb Cutler, an honorary member of the Garden Club, in the 1980s. Possibly they were planted to help celebrate the installation of the 19th-century cast-iron fountain at the east end of the Academy Green in 1982.

Dawn redwoods are related to the giant sequoias and redwoods of the American West and the water-loving bald cypresses of the Southern US. A fast-growing tree, when planted in favorable locations they can grow to 170 feet in height with trunks

Think libraries have gone to the birds? Well, this time you might be right! On Thursday, May 10 from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m., you’ll be as happy as a lark to catch Mark DeDea at the Kingston Library sharing all about birds!

(Don’t wing it; after the presentation, make him tweet with laughter at your favorite bird puns!) Mark makes learning fun, and has taught me so much about birds that he just quacks me up.

I’m proud as a peacock every time I recognize a bird – or even a birdcall – owl by myself (“Chicka-dee-dee-dee…”

“Who-cooks-for-you?”).

In a workshop geared for squeakers ages 6 to 13, Mark will help participants create a book of local birds of Kingston and cover topics such as optics, field guides and birdseed. Parents are encouraged to attend, too! This program is free and open to the public.

The Kingston Library is located at 55 Franklin Street in Kingston, as the crow flies. For more information, call (845) 331-0507, extension 7 or visit www.kingstonlibrary.org. To learn more about Mark’s world, visit http:// forsythnaturecenter.org and http:// jbnhs.org.

KTD in Woodstock hosts Spring Family Day

Dances of Universal Peace in Hudson As Mother’s Day was inspired by peace (see an excerpt of Julia Ward Howe’s proclamation below), it’s only fitting to do some peace dancing! This Friday, May 11 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Sadhana Center, join Dances of Universal Peace. Led by certified dance leaders along with live musicians, all ages and abilities are encouraged to participate in dances from a variety of traditions.

While your body expresses peace, recall these words of Julia Ward Howe in 1870: “Arise, then, women of this day! Arise all women who have hearts, whether our baptism be that of water or of tears! … We women of one country will be too tender of those of another country to allow our sons to be trained to injure theirs. From the bosom of the devastated Earth a voice goes up with our own. It says ‘Disarm, Disarm!’ The sword of murder is not the balance of justice.”

Admission is by donation. The Sadhana Center is located on the third floor at 403 Warren Street in Hudson. For more

Healthy living, chi gong, tara dance, sound meditation, gardening, a nature walk for medicinal herbs: must mean it’s Spring Family Day at the Karma Triyana Dharmachakra (KTD) or Woodstock Monastery!

LAUREN THOMAS | ALMANAC WEEKLY

ERICA'S CANCER JOURNEY

“One More MRI and I’ll Stick to the Fridge!”

H

ave you ever had an MRI? Perfect. Now let’s put the “I” in MRI. MRI stands for Milkshake Right In [points at side of mouth].

Okay, fine. It really means Magnetic Resonance Imaging (but I like my first idea better).

The purpose of my MRIs is to see what the brain tumors are up to. I wear my regular clothes, no metal; lie down on my back, get a plastic cage around my head, and I glide into a big white tunnel, like I’m the filling for a giant cannoli.

WHIRRRRRRRRRRs, HONNNNNKs, KNOCKs and BANGs sound like SUNY-New Paltz students celebrating after Finals Week. Magical magnets peer into my insides – in my case, my brainnnnnnnnnnns. I usually spend about an hour in this noise machine.

People say that it’s what’s on the inside that counts. In my cancer world, these MRIs are one way doctors actually “count” my insides. With so many MRIs since diagnosis, I’m surprised I don’t stick to the fridge!

Now let’s put the “I” in life. Physicist Carlo Rovelli says, “We don’t understand the world as made by stones – by things. We understand the world made by kisses, or things like kisses: happenings.”

I am more than the sterile, impersonal objective counts of my malignant insides. “I am large, I contain multitudes.” I am greater than the sum of my biopsied, blood-drawn, radiated and chemoed parts. I am more than what that white portal’s CLANGS and CLICKS could ever measure, my counts are in I AM units...of life: I am grief over Brooke’s and Maureen’s passings this week, and Charlotte’s memorial service this morning. I am laughter over videos of cats knocking stuff off the counter. I am scars. I am new hair. I am wife, mother, godmother, daughter, sister, cousin, friend, neighbor. I am Wanda Sykes, Tig Notaro and Wade Wilson. I am mint-chip milkshakes.

My innumerable MRIs are just one spoke of the fierce wheel that cancer relentlessly demands of me...of many of us. We are more than our tests and scans. We are more than our counts.

Poet David Whyte encourages us to go even further with his piece, “Just beyond Yourself ”: “There is a road always beckoning.

When you see the two sides of it closing together at that far horizon and deep in the foundations of your own heart at exactly the same time, that’s how you know it’s where you have to go.” Whyte’s words nudge me to remain still in discomfort while I question my parenting choices. To hold steady and ride out the emotional waves that roll through our stressed-out family.

To invest in my own creative projects with the same commitment that I devote to my have-to responsibilities. To endure the impossible wait before Deadpool 2 comes out.

What are you “more than”? What is beckoning in your life? What is stirring in your heart? What feels just beyond yourself?

Feel free to e-mail me at kidsalmanac@ulsterpublishing.com.

Head On and Heart Strong!

ALMANAC WEEKLY

May 10, 2018

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

Ramping up These delectable wild edibles can be cultivated in your own back yard

I

got pretty excited seeing rows of scrappy green leaves emerging from the ground between a couple of my pawpaw trees. The leaves were those of ramps (also commonly known as wild leeks) that I had first planted there two years ago, with an additional planting last year.

There’s no reason that ramps shouldn’t thrive here on the farmden; they’re native from Canada down to North Carolina and from the East Coast as far west as Missouri.

They’ve been best-known in the southern Appalachian region, where festivals have long been held to celebrate the harvest.

Ramps became more widely known in the 1990s when, with the publication of a ramp recipe in Martha Stewart Living Magazine, the wilding became a foodie-food. Ramps are now threatened with being overharvested – which, along with a desire to have this fresh-picked delicacy near the kitchen door, is the reason I planted them.

Large patches of ground in a forest preserve in New Jersey near to where a friend lives are blanketed each April with ramp greenery. We had dug up a few (very few) of the ramps, leaves and bulbs, which I transplanted here. Our harvest was not a threat to the ramp population. No one else has ever been seen harvesting there, and we dug up less than one percent of what was there. Research has shown that harvests are sustainable if no more than a different five to ten percent of a planting is harvested yearly.

In the wild, ramps thrive in damp soil rich in organic matter in the shade of deciduous trees. My pawpaws provide the deciduous shade. The ground beneath those trees has been enriched each year for 20 years with a thick mulch of autumn leaves.

To give the ground a further boost as far as organic matter and nutrients, I laid down a couple-of-inch-thick blanket of compost over the bed last summer.

Over time, the bulbs should multiply and the plants further spread by self-seeding. I plan to harvest some seeds when they ripen in late summer to grow the seedlings under more controlled conditions.

The seeds have a double dormancy, so they often don’t sprout until the second spring after ripening. The root dormancy – the result of immature embryos – is overcome with warmth and moisture. A warm autumn might be sufficient; if not, the next growing season. I plan to hurry the process along by potting up the seeds and keeping them warm (about 70 degrees Fahrenheit) and moist for a couple of months. Then I’ll whisk the pot into the refrigerator to overcome the shoot dormancy, which requires a couple of months of cool, moist conditions, to jolt them awake. (More about natural blocks to seed germination in my new book The Ever-Curious Gardener: Using a Little Natural Science for a Lot-Better Garden.) The seedlings, as might be expected given their natural habitat, grow best with some shade: 30 percent shade, to be exact, according to research.

Ramps are among the few perennial vegetables that I grow. They are spring ephemerals, so in just a few weeks, their leaves will dissolve into the ground as the plants go dormant, to return again each spring for my dining pleasure.

Ramp seeds have a double dormancy, so they often don’t sprout until the second spring after ripening.

Ramps are spring ephemerals, so in just a few weeks, their leaves will dissolve into the ground as the plants go dormant, to return again each spring for my dining pleasure.

Seakale (Crambe maritima) is yet another perennial vegetable that I grow. It’s a cabbage relative that just now is sending up sprouts from its thickened roots.

As soon as I noticed the sprouts, I covered the plants with an overturned clay flowerpot, covering the drainage hole with a saucer to prevent light from reaching the plant.

Seakale tastes best blanched – that is, with its shoots grown in darkness. Under such conditions, leaves stretch out and grow pale and tender. In light, the taste of the leaves is too sharp – or so I’ve read: Although I’ve grown seakale for many years, I wanted the roots to build up enough energy reserves to fuel new growth in the dark. This year, I will taste seakale.

Seakale will continue to earn a place in my garden even if its flavor falls flat (or sharp), because it’s a beautiful plant. Once released from the dark, new leaves emerge silverygreen, large and wavy. And then, later on in summer, foaming sprays of small white flowers emerge from within the whorl of leaves.

Expect a report on my take on seakale flavor in a couple of weeks, which is the time required for blanching. Like other perennial vegetables, once the harvest period ends, plants need to grow unfettered for the rest of summer to replenish the stored energy that they spent fueling spring growth.
