Ecological landscape star Thomas Rainer to give Bellefield Design Lecture this Sunday

Celebrity guests at this iteration of the Country Living Fair include Annie Sloan, creator of Chalk Paint (above), and The Fabulous Beekman Boys (on cover).

EVENT

Country Living Fair in Rhinebeck this weekend

T

he Rhinebeck area has morphed into a nationally recognized node of homestyle home style, with tens of thousands of visitors converging on the Dutchess County Fairgrounds for the annual Country Living Fair. It’s back again this weekend, June 1 to 3.

Always a big draw, the Fabulous Beekman Boys will do their cooking demo/ book-signing thing on Sunday, but there’s lots else going on all weekend.

One particularly eyecatching Saturday workshop features HGTV.com writer Melissa Caughey of Tilly’s Nest, who will share tips on how to “speak chicken.” If you didn’t already know that raising chickens is the height of hip for country gentlepersons these days, you will now.

Other celebrity guests include Annie Sloan, creator of Chalk Paint; Betsy Olmstead, author of Hand Printing Studio; Cooper Boone of Foundry42; Deborah Trickett of The Captured Garden; Joanne Palmisano, award-winning interior designer/DIY Network contributor; Kim Leggett of City Farmhouse, author of City Farmhouse Style; Mary Randolph Carter, Country Living contributing editor; Nora Murphy of Nora Murphy Country House; Silvia Baldini, winner of the Food Network’s Chopped; and Trace Barnett of The Bitter Socialite.

More than 200 vendors will be hawking their wares at the fair as well. Some come from far away; more local purveyors will include Beekman 1802 Mercantile of Sharon Springs, Earth Angels Studio of Warwick, Ihnken’s Creations of Ithaca, Made from Coins of Woodstock, Rockerbox Garlic of the Hudson Valley, the Saratoga Peanut Butter Company and Sweet Bella Stationery of Rhinebeck.

Fair hours are from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, rain or shine. One-day admission costs $13 in advance and $18 at the door; three-day weekend passes are available for $15 in advance and $25 at the door. The Early Bird three-day weekend pass, available for $40, grants early admission at 8:30 a.m. on Friday and Saturday. Admission is free for children ages 16 and under.

For an extra fee, and by preregistration, you can also participate in Make & Take Workshops instructed by Fair vendors and presenters.

For tickets, the full schedule and other details, call (866) 500-FAIR or visit www.stellashows.com or www.countryliving.com/fair. The Dutchess Fairgrounds are located at 6550 Spring Brook Avenue (Route 9) in Rhinebeck.

Right next door to the FDR Home and Library in Hyde Park, the regional headquarters of the National Park Service is housed in an elegant 18 th-century house called Bellefield, which was remodeled by famed architects McKim, Mead and White for Thomas and Sarah Newbold. Behind it lies a garden that was created by one of America’s most celebrated landscape designers, Beatrix Farrand (18721959).

In an era of garden design dominated by endless rotation of fussy, tender annuals in containers, Farrand joined the likes of England’s Gertrude Jekyll and William Robinson in championing the use of perennial plants in combinations based upon color harmony, bloom sequence and texture, leading to the birth of the mixed border that is standard in gardens today. The celebrated Dumbarton Oaks in Washington, DC is probably the bestknown of the gardens created by Farrand that still survives.

Federal budget constraints led to a long period of disrepair in the Bellefield garden until 1994, when the Beatrix Farrand Garden Association was chartered by the National Park Service to spearhead its revival. Today the restored site plays host to the Bellefield Design Lecture, whose 12th iteration this Sunday afternoon will feature a talk titled “The Beauty of

Biodiversity: Practical Strategies for More Lush, Abundant and Resilient Plantings.”

This lecture will be presented by Thomas Rainer, a leading voice in ecological landscape design. He is a landscape architect, teacher, author and enthusiastic public speaker. Thomas has been featured in numerous publications including The New York Times, Landscape Architecture magazine and The Washington Post.

While passionate about design and focusing on details, he is a specialist in applying innovative planting concepts to create ecologically functional designed landscapes.

“The Beauty of Biodiversity” is scheduled for 2 to 4 p.m. on Sunday, June 3 at Bellefield, located at 4097 Albany Post Road (Route 9) in Hyde Park. Tickets cost $35 for Beatrix Farrand Garden Association members and $45 for nonmembers. For reservations, visit https:// bit.ly/2sp9pWb.

Ride the Ridge Bike Challenge this Saturday Now in its 12th year as a fundraiser for the needs-based tuition assistance program at the High Meadow School, the Ride the Ridge Bike Challenge boasts some new features this year, or returns to older ones. This year, for the first time, riders do not have to be present to participate. The addition of a “Virtual Ride” ($35 contribution) gives riders the option to complete the course, or any equivalent course, on their own schedules. Once the route is completed, Virtual Riders are asked to submit proof in the form of a photo, screenshot of GPS tracking or something similar; they’ll later get their tee-shirt and medal by mail.

NIGHT SKY

Alien conversations How might extraterrestrials communicate with us?

I

magine this: We receive the first-ever message from extraterrestrials. We translate the communication and it turns out to be a list of planets, along with a suggestion: “Send a rocketful of deuterium to the first planet on the list. Then cross it off, write your own world’s name on the bottom and send this to all the other planets. In just a month you’ll receive a trillion shipments of hydrogen.”

Could the first alien message be a chain letter? Not likely. But ET contact remains a hot topic among some astronomers.

Communication always requires that energy be transferred from one place to another.

There’s no known way around it. Whether speech (a disturbance in air) or visual signals (electromagnetic radiation), an energy delivery must take place. This means that, except for uncontrollable quantum phenomena, information cannot move faster than the speed of light. This creates a conversational time-lag that equals the alien’s distance.

In the movie Contact, the extraterrestrials lived near Vega, 25 light-years away. If we received a hello from them today and immediately replied, “Well, hi there, who are you?” it would get to them in a quartercentury. Their further response, “We’re Vegans. What’s up?” would arrive here in 2068 and our answer, “Nothing much, you?” would reach the vegetarians in 2093.

Sleep-inducing.

This, of course, assumes we communicate the way we think and speak: by relying on symbolism. We say “field of sunflowers” to convey a basic concept. But the actual observation entails impossibly complex patterns of countless swaying flowers. There’s no way to disclose the scene with words.

Other lifeforms do not suffer from this limitation, and some even employ direct communicative methods. Dolphins, in an environment that can be murky, often use sound rather than vision as a primary sense. They emit intricate radarlike noises that echo like a sonogram from the target. They also have the ability to reproduce the “radar returns” that their ears perceive. So they tell their friends what they saw. But they don’t use symbolic speech. Instead they duplicate the previous sound echoes directly to “paint” the sonogramic image of the object they perceived, perhaps even emphasizing aspects of interest, into the minds of other dolphins.

Although we use symbolism and animals don’t, we’re nonetheless not isolated from the life forms around us. Each species “does its thing” and it all works out. We stick

with verbal skills and yell “Stop that!” when we see Spot ripping up the garbage, but it’s our tone more than the words that lets him know how unhappy we are that the kitchen has been transformed into a scene from Dante. Meanwhile, the dog effectively “speaks” without symbology. Pet-owners learn dozens of vocalizations made by their cat, bird or dog, which convey a full spectrum of needs, comments and emotions.

Sci-fi assumes that aliens will at minimum possess the communication skills of mammals. But even lower-order animals communicate, and perhaps even bacteria do.

The farther away from the mammalian realm, the more indecipherable to us is their method of information-sharing. This suggests that exchanges with extraterrestrials may be a bigger challenge than we imagine.

We start out suspecting, probably correctly, that if they’re flying through the cosmos or transmitting electromagnetically, they resemble our own technological mindset rather than taking after species like whales, who are smart but bad at things like soldering.

We presume that aliens are nerdy and would enjoy technobabble. But after that, what?

Would they bother to be diplomatic? Or would they get right to the point? (“We need all your cardboard right now!”) Maybe we should first uncover their motives. Why are they reaching out? Is it intellectual curiosity, benevolence or might they be after something?

Another prospect is that communication might be impossible. If they moved through time at a different rate than we do, they could be as imperceptible to our senses as neutrinos. For any of a hundred reasons, there might not be anything to say.

But if we both desired an exchange, the standard paradigm is that math and physics would provide starting points. We always assume aliens would know about circles and pi, and realize that hydrogen is the element that dominates the universe, even though most humans don’t know these things.

It’s so unpredictable, speculation is pointless. In fact, don’t waste your time reading this. Oops, too late.

BOOKS Kudos, but no Kaddish

Married a Communist, as Jonah Weiner, who survived the course, remembered in a piece written for Slate magazine in 2012. According to Weiner, Roth gave as good as he got, presenting “transcripts of the court proceedings of artists brought to trial during Stalin’s great purge” and attempting to “draw a parallel between the Stalinist prosecutors and the feminist-minded readers among us who’d confronted him.”

Last Sunday, in a light rain, the Bard cemetery seemed far from that turbulence, far from the heated arguments about Jewishness, male chauvinism, political correctness, and what all. Roth’s burial vault, and the hole covered by several lengthy wooden boards that would soon accommodate it, was shaded by a venerable pine, a stately maple, and several other trees and shrubs, and softly serenaded by birdsong. Mushrooms were glistening in the wet pathways between graves, and only the faint whoosh of cars passing on Route 9G disturbed, but only mildly, the sense that this place was far removed from the noisy circles of the world.

But if, contrary to Roth’s belief and expectations, his sly desire for conversation beyond the beyond could be fulfilled, he would not have to wait for Manea and Botstein to join him in Bard College’s cozy, well-shaded necropolis. Not twenty paces away from his grave are the stones of philosopher and political theorist Hannah Arendt and her husband, philosophy professor Heinrich Blücher. Imagine how bracing and passionate those conversations would be, to the great delight of the phantom class of students and professors all around them.

Philip Roth is laid to rest in Annandale

H

ow did Philip Roth, widely acclaimed as the greatest living American novelist at the time of his death last week, come to be buried at Bard College?

At first glance, the connection does not seem apparent. Although Roth received an honorary Doctor of Letters from the college in 1985, and taught a class there in 1999, he had no formal relationship to Bard. What he did have was a deep and

The agreed-upon narrative goes like this: some years ago, Roth told Botstein that he desired to be inhumed in the small cemetery on Bard’s Annandale campus. When asked why, Roth inquired if Manea was planning to be interred there. Told yes, he then asked if Botstein was also planning to “stay on,” as it were, at the college he served for so many years. Yes, again. To which Roth replied, “I want to have interesting people to talk to.” (The Jewish Telegraphic Agency reports a slightly different version of this answer. According to Blake Bailey, Roth’s biographer, what Roth actually said was that he wanted “to be buried near Jews so I have someone to talk to.”)

In either case, Roth was having a laugh, as he was most emphatically dismissive of the metaphysical realm — post-mortem, his novels, not some incorporeal version of himself, will conduct his conversations. It is also a

safe bet there was no graveside chanting of the Mourner’s Kaddish at his burial on Memorial Day, as he “expressly forbid,” according to Bailey, any religious rituals at his funeral. Yet time-honored practice often has a way of subtly insinuating itself. At Roth’s gravesite on Sunday, a full day before the burial vault was lowered into place, someone had already placed a pebble upon it, in accordance with Jewish tradition.

was by all accounts a stormy affair. The class read and discussed seven of Roth’s novels; the storm broke when they got to Sabbath’s Theater, whose main character is socially and sexually out of control. As David Remnick recalled it a year later (2000) in The New Yorker, “Manea feared that his students would attack Roth for the usual reasons: that his portrayal of women was insufficiently sympathetic, that his ideas about sex were retrograde.”

Sure enough, several students levied “passionate, fully flowered charges of misogyny” against both that book and I

RENAISSANCE

BY ROUND LAKE

T Space gallery and trails in Rhinebeck now open to the public on Sundays

S

equestered on a 30-acre wooded preserve bordering Round Lake in Dutchess County, T Space is barely visible from the road, a floating plane of weathered wood blending in with the scrim of trees.

A wisp of a building, inside it consists of a series of skylit spaces enclosed by white-painted plywood-paneled walls: a blank canvas that throws down a different gauntlet to each exhibiting artist.

Last summer, Pat Steir responded to the challenge with gusto: She painted the walls and ceiling Prussian blue, gridded

them with fine red lines and then painted a series of thick gestural white lines on the surface, several of which traversed the corners, which seemed to dissolve. In stark contrast to painting’s convention of creating a three-dimensional illusion on a flat surface, Steir used geometry in her Floating Line piece to create the illusion of two dimensions in a threedimensional space, noted critic Claire Gilman – seeming to immerse the visitor in the artwork, an effect intensified by the blue light used to illuminate the gallery.

The T shape of the gallery deepened the mystery, in that the piece could only be experienced by perambulating through the space; architect Steven Holl noted that he chose that shape because a portion of the space is always hidden from view, even though the scale of the building is small. Steir’s “inside-outside painting,” as Holl called it, unwinds in time and hence is “never completely revealed or explained.”

Since its inception in 2010, T Space has been making waves within a smallbut-distinguished community of artists,

architects, poets, musicians, composers and their friends. As chronicled in handsomely produced “yearbooks,” which describe each summer’s events in a series of beautifully written essays and photographs, the exhibitions and performances held at T Space over the summer have been challenging assumptions and stretching imaginations, positing new connections between creative media and languages as well as between cultural creations and nature, which is experienced intimately, rather than as spectacle. It’s an arts-renaissance happening, in which the opening of each of its three exhibitions features concerts by genre-bending musicians and readings by nationally recognized poets. Operated by the Steven Myron Holl Foundation, a

nonprofit founded in 2007 by the worldrenowned architect (who was recently featured in Almanac Weekly, visit https:// bit.ly/2Hbn3CW), T Space has showcased the work of such art-world heavyweights as Martin Puryear, Richard Artschwager, Ai We i w e i and Carolee Schneemann.

The mission of T Space is to educate the public on current issues of art and architecture st and provide a forum for the exchange of ideas in the context of today’s political, economic, cultural and technological conditions: goals that are in direct opposition to the commoditization of art, noted Susan Wides, a photographer who serves as T Space’s director. “We’re getting back to the core of what art is about, which is a certain kind of creative freedom,” she said. “We want to explore the creative and spiritual aspects of art and where it can evolve to in the 21st century.”

T Space is yet another node in the upstate art-world firmament, but it has been off the official map: a rather informal, family-run operation whose openings were a word-of-mouth affair.

That will change this summer, when the gallery will be open to the public on Sunday afternoons from noon to five p.m.

The suggested admission price is $10.

The roster of experimental musicians has included Christopher Oldfather, Patrick Higgens, Daniel Carter, Michael Bisio, Brian Dewan and the Esopus Chamber Orchestra. Poetry, which along with music has inspired many of Holl’s buildings, was represented in a reading last year by Susan Stewart, a National

ALMANAC WEEKLY

May 31, 2018 Book Critics’ Circle Award-winner and MacArthur Fellow. T Space also honors one poet each summer with an award; past recipients are Ann Lauterback, Anne Carson, Carter Ratcliff, Robert Kelly and Mei-mei Berssenbrugged. T Space even commissioned a poem by Kelly: titled “Phases of Earth,” the verse “We build – isn’t/it our business to turn/space into language/so we can live in it?” could serve as Holl’s epithet. Another verse, “Just like a field/it goes on into sky/unbroken, horizon is a kind of breath/around the visible, keeps us/in our place,” celebrates the secure embrace of the individual in the landscape, which is another important component of many of Holl’s buildings.

T Space also commissions outdoor sculptures, which grace two trails: one a path from the gallery down to the lake and the other a two-mile loop on a sister property across Round Lake Road. They include Oscar Tuazon’s Tent, a rectilinear structure of curved steel rods with an arched roof tucked under a row of dramatic cantilevered beams, which rise as if the structure were either levitating or being gutted in a storm; Artschwager’s giant aluminum figure, a thick silver silhouette sitting on a dock facing the lake, which seems to be begging for company; and Mike Metz’s Wrench/ sled, which suggests a futuristic piece of furniture whose functions remain to be discovered. There’s also a cluster of pieces

by Holl, consisting of cutout shapes and the block from which they were carved, the resulting negative space forming a kind of shadow play.

This summer, Richard Nonas is constructing a 900-foot-long piece out of railroad ties and stones along the property: a straight line etched on the hillocks and hollows, echoing and inverting the sense of layered time conveyed by abandoned railways and the other industrial and agriculture ruins that permeate our region. The piece will accompany an exhibition of Nonas’ drawings at T Space, which opens on June 2; there will be a reading by David Shapiro, who is T Space’s sixth annual Poetry Award recipient, and music by Stefan Zeniuk.

Both trails are accessible to the public on Sunday afternoons. A bonus sight is a glimpse of Holl’s Watercolor Hut: a skylit tarpaper shack facing the lake from which many of his inspirations are first sketched out.

Following Nonas’ exhibition, which closes July 1, T Space will exhibit the drawings and models of celebrated Mexican architect Tatiana Bilbao (July 21 to August 5), and after that, Ricci Albenda’s Open Universe installation, consisting of three-dimensional willow “drawings” made in collaboration with David Drew (the installation was previously exhibited at Art Basel; the show is up from August 18 to September 30). Bilbao’s July 21 opening will feature poet Valeria Luiselli and musician Martin Maugeais, while Albenda’s August 18

Violinist Iva Bittova performs on the T2 Installation Trail

opening will feature a reading by poet Darren Bader and music by Jim Crewson.

“T Space is an outgrowth of the cross-fertilization of music, poetry and architecture that has always been integral to Steven Holl’s architectural practice,” Wides said.

That multidisciplinary approach is shared by his brother, artist Jim Holl, whose paintings were featured in the first T Space exhibition in 2010. Wides, who is married to Jim Holl, noted that her husband’s book, All the Living Things, is about painting and its relations to philosophy and spirituality. She herself grew up playing the piano and painting.

“What makes T Space unique in that our team’s made up of makers – architects and artists,” she said. “T Space aims for a synthesis of the arts. Stimuli from different disciplines are central to Steven’s work, and to Jim’s and my photography, which is animated by painting and music.

These kinds of cross-inspirations drive new ideas and forms.”

Wides, who with her husband resides in New York City and Catskill – Steven Holl, his wife, architect Dmitri Tsachrelia, and their young daughter spend weekends at a house on the Rhinebeck preserve – said that Jim Holl does the graphic design of the foundation’s books. (Besides the yearbooks, they include Winter Music, a volume pairing Kelly’s poems with the light- and color-inflected, nature-inspired photos of Susan Quasha). There’s also a hands-on educational component to the T2 Reserve, as the entire complex is called: Each summer Tsachrelia runs a residency for five architectural fellows. It’s held for a month in a studio located on the property

22 Gardiner artists open their studio doors GardinerOpenStudioTour.com

across the road. Each year the fellows, who work with Holl, Tsachrelia and other architects, are assigned a project; this year they’ll design an observatory.

The studio, a former hunting lodge, has been transformed

by Holl into a light-filled, white-walled space whose plywood walls and tarpaper-covered exterior continue the Arte Povera aesthetic of the T Space gallery.

Holl added several “light turrets” (“Instead of guns shooting out, light shoots in through the turrets,” said Wides). The fellows stay in a renovated 1940s cottage next door.

But the centerpiece of this portion of the preserve, which is also 30 acres and was destined to be a subdivision of McMansions before Holl snatched it up in 2014, is his celebrated Ex of In House (“ex” being short for “explorations”). Open to visitors as an Airbnb, the 918-squarefoot, off-the-grid building is structured around the intersection of spheres and tesseracts; in both its compactness and multilevel, multiuse soaring spaces, it is the antithesis of the banal, oversized suburban house. You enter into a hollowed-out orb formed of layers of plywood, a shape that’s both sacred and

primal; light angles down through various carefully placed skylights, fragmenting the space as it were a prism. Views of a small reflecting pool at the building’s base and the surrounding woods are framed by windows curved and straight, bringing the outdoors in. (Writer Mark Morris, in one of T Space’s yearbooks, described the building’s “fragmented moon windows” as “ogling” “eyes.”) The sparsely furnished house, which sleeps five, mixes mahogany with birch plywood; the spherical theme is repeated in the light fixtures, which are 3-D printed in organic cornstarch: a material that resembles spun silk.

The Ex of In House is accessible on a twohour private tour, which takes in Holl’s other structures, the outdoor sculptures and a hike on the paths. Visitors can also see the dimensions, marked out on the ground, of Holl’s next building: a library storing his archives, which will be located adjacent to the T2 Studio.

“The biggest challenge is to grow T Space so that the nonprofit will be sustainable in the future,” said Wides.

“We want to keep both the intimacy of an art salon and the excitement of a place in which people can experience new art and architecture.”

an adventure this year,” says Vals Osborne, WVLT board member and co-chair of the event. “The research this year was a huge challenge, but I’m very proud of what we accomplished. We were starting from scratch – not even the homeowners knew much about the history of the houses – and it was a pretty major effort.”

The Wallkill Valley Land Trust works closely with the Society for the Preservation of Hudson Valley Vernacular Architecture on the research for the tours. Osborne also credits major research contributions this year from her co-chairs, Carol Johnson, director of the Haviland-Heidgerd Historical Collection at the Elting Memorial Library in New Paltz, and Elizabeth Werlau, Town of Plattekill historian.

Werlau wrote the introduction for this year’s guidebook. In it, she chronicles the earliest settlers in the area, who arrived in

the early-to-mid-1700s. Many came from the Westchester area, although the lack of water in the town made nearby regions more desirable to newcomers. The arrival of the railroad in the late 1880s helped to define some of the hamlets, which were given their present-day names when post offices were established. The name “Plattekill” was derived from the calm stream – platte kill or “flat water” in Dutch – running through it, while the name “Clintondale” was chosen to honor governor DeWitt Clinton. “Modena” comes from a Latin word meaning “protected.”

Werlau writes that, during the process of doing research for this year’s tour, investigation by Hudson Valley Vernacular Architecture members revealed simpler beginnings for several of the homes: evidence of earlier construction found in the homes’ basements and roof structures, masked by later alterations during their expansion. “The high-style Italianate and full-blown, romantic Victorian tendencies one sees in many of the grand mansions fronting the Hudson River never emerged in this region,” notes Werlau.

Proceeds from the tour benefit the nonprofit Wallkill Valley Land Trust, whose mission is to preserve the unique rural character of southern Ulster County. “Our raison d’etre as a land trust is connecting people to the land,” Osborne notes, “to educate people about the land and hopefully encourage them to protect and preserve it.”

THE DEAD BEAT

Dispatch from Death’s door No one dies without leaving a story for us to discover and savor. The Dead Beat intends to search out, find and report those stories. The story may reside in a survivor’s heart or a victim’s last words. It may be legend or it may be fact. It may be recorded in stone or on yellowing newsprint. It may warm the heart or break it. It may explain a lifetime or illuminate a single moment in that lifetime. It may tell us more about the living than the dead, more about ourselves and the way we live than the way that others have died.

W

RICHARD BH

hen I began writing the Dead Beat column last year, I knew I’d never run out of stories. But I never dreamed that on a chilly, overcast April morning, I’d qualify for inclusion here myself. I did so, quite against my will, by dying.

I’m not speaking metaphorically or poetically here. I flatlined. Coded. I shuffled off this mortal coil. Here’s my story: I’m 68 years old, a retired daily newspaper reporter, occasional essayist and avid grandfather. A few weeks before I died, I noticed that my sense of balance seemed askew. I drew the usual Google-inspired conclusions: incipient ALS. Parkinson’s.

Brain tumor.

Uncharacteristically, I went to my doctor and we began exploring possible causes, which meant securing appointments with a string of other doctors: a vascular specialist, a neurologist and, when I added mild periodic chest pains to my list of mysterious symptoms, a cardiologist.

Everything looked copacetic until the cardiologist’s visit. Lacking an explanation for the chest pains, the doctor ordered a treadmill stress test, about which I had reservations. Eager as I was for a diagnosis, I feared what that diagnosis might reveal. While awaiting the test, I was left to stew in the juices of undeniable personal accountability.

Hadn’t I been feeling run-down for months, if not years? Hadn’t I dreaded walking up stairways? What about my midafternoon craving for a nap, the longer the better?

I tried to tell myself that I was just plain getting old. But I knew, deep down, it was more than that. Between my age and my abiding fondness for life’s sedentary pleasures – reading, writing, eating, playing FreeCell – I knew that I was reaping the harvest of an all-but-stationary life.

This realization brought little comfort, but it was something. It allowed me to imagine (not for the first time) ways by which I would straighten up and fly right. More walking!

Fewer carbs! I swear!

And so it was that I drove to the Kingston Heart Center that April morning, hoping with all my heart that I would somehow dodge the bullet I believed awaited me.

Did I voice my fears at the heart center? Of course not. I may be a “senior,� but I’m still a man, and men don’t voice their fears in public. I resolved to put my anxieties manfully to rest by mounting the treadmill and finally taking my first panting steps toward a new, healthier life.

A young man named Kelvin ushered me into a small room where stood the dread machine. Kelvin introduced me to Melissa, the technician who would run the machine and monitor my progress.

I hopped on the treadmill and started walking. Within a minute, I was race-walking.

Beginning to pant. Mildly amazed that I was still standing.

Then everything changed.

I remember Melissa shouting words I couldn’t understand to Kelvin while the treadmill ground to a stop. My head went balloony and my legs went rubbery. I remember

staggering backwards off the machine, where Kelvin caught me and set me on a nearby couch.

I’d suffered a cardiac arrest. My heart’s electrical communication system, whose job it is to provide the heart with a good steady beat, had quit on me.

Having been dead, I can’t testify to exactly what happened as I lay on my back. When I opened eyes that I didn’t realize had been shut, I saw a big, friendly-looking face hovering over mine. His name, I soon learned, was Gus. I could see by his uniform that he was an EMT. I know I looked perplexed. The room was crowded with people who hadn’t been there before. Gus recognized my confusion. He assured me that everything was okay. “We’re taking you to Vassar,� I remember him saying.

Cool, I thought. I knew Vassar Brothers Hospital had the best local reputation for its cardiac/heart care department.

Gus sketched the outlines of my situation as he and his crew trundled me into the ambulance. He told me I’d been revived with two jolts from a defibrillator: the gizmo you see doctors use in TV dramas, where they rub a pair of charged-up paddles together, shout “Clear!� and – sometimes – raise the dead. “I didn’t feel a thing,� I told Gus. He laughed. “That’s a good thing, man.�

I remained conscious as the ambulance glided through midtown traffic. I was feeling no pain. Familiar buildings and barely-budded trees slid past the rig’s narrow back window.

I was warmed by the sight of my daughter Annie’s place of business on Broadway. I imagined the thrill I would give her three-year-old son Conor when I told him I had ridden in one of the ambulances whose periodic, screaming appearance on Kingston’s streets fascinated him.

Still rather stupidly unaware of the seriousness of my condition, it didn’t occur to me that I might not ever get a chance to tell him about my ride.

Gus and his crew delivered me to Vassar, where the very serious work of making me whole again began. It began by the very careful and professional act of tearing me apart: I underwent triple-bypass surgery the next morning.

Credit for those lifesaving efforts extends from Kelvin and Melissa and Gus to a battery of doctors, nurses and aides too numerous to list here by name: the men and women at Vassar whose attention, skill and professionalism brought me farther and farther from Death’s door over 12 grueling days. The people who continue to provide that care, along with heaping doses of love, are easier to list: Their names are Patty, Grady, Annie and Carrie and our four grandchildren. They’re the people who have made the life I nearly lost worth living.

When I sent an abbreviated version of this story to friends and family via Facebook, I concluded it with a YouTube clip of a favorite song that begins with these words: “If you have a friend on whom you think you can rely, you are a lucky man / And if you’ve found a reason to live on and not to die, you are a lucky man.� Then as now, those lyrics go straight to my recuperating heart. I have been, and continue to be, as lucky as a man can get. – Jeremiah Horrigan

ALMANAC WEEKLY

MUSIC This generation and its music: An introduction

DANIEL MCANULTY

I

am not going to grouse about the younger generation and its music. Rather, I plan on grousing about the very idea of generations as isolatable and intrinsically meaningful subdivisions of people in time.

Generations and decades have always seemed to me the weakest, coarsest form of association and history, and the most overused in our interpretive groping.

Decades, in particular, are demonstrably garbage when it comes to explaining anything: pure wishful numerology and prefab vehicles for the pooling of our nostalgia. Truth does not recognize your bar lines, Mr. Decade; and if you, reader, wish to hear the actual musical phrases of history and culture playing through time, you’ll need to be able to follow the tunes across the zeroes.

There is no reset button. But decade resets, alas, are often all we have for the telling of our cultural narrative. We have the ’60s (hooray). We have the ’80s (boooo). We think we know what they mean. They are thus meaningful to the extent that we believe they are. Decades reveal the power of the frame itself to make coherent whatever falls within its borders, to make art of the damnedest random sh*t ever thrown up against a wall. It is the power of the frame to make us make the connections, the same way that many spiritually inclined people imagine that everything that happens to them is an encoded message and lesson from the Higher Power. And so it is, via the interpretive act itself. I am sure that we could do better than decade-based history, but we probably won’t. Decades are too much fun, with their crazy dances and sweaters.

If decades are analogous to what we call the “horizontal” dimension of music – the X axis, melodies and rhythms as they play forward in time – then generations are the vertical dimension, the Y axis.

Generations are harmony: the stacks, clusters, consonances and dissonances and the harmonic colors of all the people vertically aligned, alive and squawking at one moment in musical/cultural time.

Generations are struck chords.

We all know, intuitively if not theoretically, that the “meaning” of a given chord in music depends entirely on its context: the chords that come before and the chords that come after. A generation, like an isolated chord, has its own attributes, an analyzable constitution; but its functional meaning exists entirely in its passing. Thus, the current “hot” generation – meaning the young (always the young) – has a lot more authority regarding the past than regarding the present. My son’s generation is pretty

SHOW

R

Roger Daltrey to perform Tommy at Bethel Woods

oger Daltrey sings Tommy at Bethel Woods? Really? That’s big.

Whatever you can say about Roger, the cat has always brought it. He has taken care of himself; he does everything full-on. He loves theater, spectacle and acting, and he has been an ardent defender of the Who’s legacy in a way that Mr. Townshend, perhaps, has not. Tommy is important music.

This show comes with orchestral backing courtesy of members of the Hudson Valley Philharmonic, supporting the band of regular Who players, including guitarist/backup singer Simon Townshend, guitarist Frank Simes, keyboardist Loren Gold, bassist Jon Button and drummer Scott Devours. There is no reason to suspect that this will not be epic.

Tommy takes place on Friday, June 8 at the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts at 8 p.m. Ticket prices range from $73 to $203. For tickets and additional information, visit www.bethelwoodscenter.org. The Bethel Woods Center for the Arts is located at 200 Hurd Road in Bethel.

spot-on about me, but about itself it is as clueless as we all must be. The present chord can’t be functionally defined until the next chord strikes.

The other great fallacy regarding generational thought is that one bows out and makes room for the next.

No one is bowing out or making room that I can tell. Boomers, Gen X, Millennial, Generation Next, whatever! We’re all still here, man.

We’re all still squawking. If this is the Millennial generation, then I – at 55, and much to my chagrin – am a Millennial too. And that cabal of powerful white men ten years my senior on average who are currently and giddily screwing us over in every way they can think of? Goddamned Millennials as well.

When I was young – a Gapper, for what it is worth, part of a nameless squad between the Boomers and X-Generation – labels seemed like something thrust

by the news media upon a heterogenous blob of young people for the purpose of harvesting and commodifying style. Now, due perhaps to the accelerants of social media, and the lessons of cultural theory sunk deep in the educational groundwater, young people seem much more into naming themselves before what we used to call Madison Avenue beats them to it; “Self-defining, they are,” says Yoda.

So, what does music say about the generations and the generations about music? In my shabby musical life, I am privileged to play with and write about older folks and younger. To overgeneralize (for what else is there to do when you open your mouth?), here is what I see.

Older musicians tend to be more proficient on their instruments, or at least freer: more likely to improvise and more likely to regard improvisation as a higher-

Younger players are, famously, all about renegotiating roles and identities, redistributing power arrangements and smashing the guitariarchy.

order value, musically and culturally. Yet, while they go off-script more readily than younger players, they also tend to be more bound by the traditional roles of ensemble interaction. Bass and drums do this; guitars do that. As long as those roles are observed, on style, anyone can play with anyone, with a minimum of preparation.

Because of this, older-person rock, for all of its comparative freedom of movement, can seem “samey” in a way that the sui generis and ad hoc forms of youngerperson rock seldom do. The Grateful Dead, for all their libertarian anarchy, kinda sound the same a lot of the time.

But you never know what’s coming in a St. Vincent tune.

Younger players do not embrace the traditional roles. They are, famously, all about renegotiating roles and identities, redistributing power arrangements and smashing the guitariarchy. Young players on every instrument think more like arrangers, think big-picture: What sound would be useful or outrageous here? Not “What should I play on my guitar here?” but “What should I have the guitar do here?” They are less concerned with their own instrumental personalities, more cognizant at all times of how their parts relate to and define the whole; there’s a composer/arranger in every chair in the modern indie-rock band. They are pure naturals in the recording studio in the way that older players are often not.

Think of older players as ones who have already spent their time in the city actively defining their generation’s values, and have now moved up-country to procreate amongst the streams and mountains, the communities of children and grandparents and gardens. The pressure of self-definition is off, and the timeless values of nature and song have a way of asserting themselves.

Older players tend to believe in the

romantic concept of “true voice.” You have one, and it is your life’s work to discover it – to come ever-closer to its essence and its perfection. Older players tend to get comfortable with one sound: their sound.

A true voice has numerous modes, mind you, and needs to be conversant and versatile in many different situations; but at its heart is the irreducible essence of the individual. And when we fail and flail, it is because we have strayed from this true voice.

Younger players, perhaps echoing the polyglot neighborhoods of Brooklyn where they congregate, tend to have a much more complex and socially constructed sense of their own voices: situational, defined in relation to others. All sounds are available to them. They are meatware samplers. “True voice” is, most likely, a patriarchal Western cliché. The sonic palette of young-person rock is limitless.

Every one of them seems to know how to mangle, effect, drop colors like bombs into their arrangements. Younger rock bands have a highly visual approach to music, less logical in some ways. They are suspicious of “It’s all one” hippie platitudes and inclined to think that it is, in fact, not all one.

Older players like to rehearse a little and gig a lot. The good stuff is what happens when it is fresh in the moment. Younger players really love to rehearse and to record. Their relative ambivalence toward performance is easy to understand when you consider the standard 35-minute New York City set dispensation. Their sets tend to be the same night after night.

As part of the radical renegotiation of rock, young-person bands are marked by the prevalence of non-players in the fold: real naïfs and innocents, oftentimes playing alongside highly trained academy musicians, the Purchase Music and Art Departments forming potent bands together in which everyone is empowered to make a useful noise. Non-players become quite good at playing their parts with wit, feel and exuberance (they are humans, after all); but of course, they are also bound to those parts and virtually incapable of going off-road, and their presence helps account for why younger bands are more locked into their arrangements than older bands. You can almost hear the older bands grousing, “Should everyone be allowed to design our bridges, or should that perhaps be left to professionals?”

But I am not here to grouse about this generation and its music.

“Music is the space between the notes.”

– Claude Debussy  “Cerebell-ion is the malignant space between appointments.”

– Erica

I

lean back and relax, covered in blankets in a berth on a ship jerkily loosed from her moorings to set sail into an MRI machine. Mission: to seek treasure hidden deep within my gray matter. Loud whirs, buzzes and clicks conjure a cross between dubstep and dial-up Internet. Gadolinium is injected into my body’s port, highlighting the images inside of my head. “Past performance is no guarantee of future results.”

Two days later, this interior glimpse will yield two words that I wish were different: progression and swelling.

Graceful designs dip and swirl through shades of blacks, grays and whites across my doctor’s screen of my brain, a mesmerizing tableau resembling steamy froth on a latte. My tumors are squatters, sprawled out, feet up on the table, defiant, undaunted by previous attempts to evict them.

They trip the mets fantastic as enchanting cerebral clouds mask sinister intent, like a rose-red apple or shiny spindle.

I never feel a sense of beginning or end to my cancer journey. I am always aware that this could be my final stop. Or is it my LeBron James 46-point forcing Game Seven? I am prepared to die; I accept that my time is coming. But I do not wish to leave yet. How can I have progression and swelling? I feel fine! À la, “I can’t be out of money, I still have checks!”

What are my treatment options?...Please let me have options...Quality of life?...Could I live through and recover from any of these treatments?...Am I at the end of the line?...Do I even have choices?...At what personal cost this heartbeat?

Right now, my “in between” lies in appointments, an expanse between scan results and a specialist who will provide me with options. Ninety-nine-pointnine percent of my life happens between appointments. But decisions at those appointments determine a great deal about that 99.9 percent. In this in-between of ceaseless questions, I wait. I observe the fickle, spirited dynamic between disease progression and stability. I am three years into a journey where time is no advantage; it just is.

I take all the time I need to clamber back to the center of my soul. I spend hours grounding myself: walking in my labyrinth, meditating, sharing, journaling and tapping while deeply and completely accepting myself.

I am a metastatic master. I am a living comma between now, and later. I am the space between the notes.

My tumors are squatters, sprawled out, feet up on the table, defiant, undaunted by previous attempts to evict them.

STAGE ALISON BECHDEL’S FUN HOME ON STAGE IN RHINEBECK

I

n these “woke” times, most people are presumably able to figure out that, if women don’t find something funny that some men are laughing at, it usually means that there’s something inherently misguided about the joke. But it wasn’t all that long ago that “Feminists have no sense of humor” was widely accepted as a truism. Luckily, a whole bunch of talented feminist humorists and comedians have since come along to prove that belief wrong.

One of the groundbreakers in that regard was cartoonist Alison Bechdel, whose brilliant underground comic strip Dykes to Watch Out For had a very long run, beginning in the 1980s, in the monthly humor digest Funny Times and

a variety of LGBTQ-friendly publications.

The group of lesbian friends whose misadventures were chronicled in the strip led lives as complex and nuanced as the characters in the best-written sitcoms, and Bechdel’s askew humor worked its magic for readers of any sexual orientation.

A 2014 MacArthur Foundation “Genius Grant” is just one of many awards that the cartoonist has since won. You may know her name from the “Bechdel Test,” a nowstandard parameter for judging whether or not a work of literature, film or TV show is sexist. The bare-bones baseline: Is there at least one scene in which two or more named female characters have a full conversation about something other than a man? The Bechdel Test originated with

SHADOWLAND WILL HOST the American premiere of Bang Bang! a new English version of Georges Feydeau’s classic 1892 farce Monsieur chasse.

Here’s the kicker: The adaptation was done by John Cleese.

Yes, that John Cleese. a character in Dykes to Watch Out For. Bechdel went on to write an autobiographical graphic novel titled Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic, after her family’s private nickname for the Pennsylvania funeral home that her parents operated. The story is mostly about Bechdel’s discovery of her own sexuality, her relationship with her closeted gay father and her attempts to unlock the mysteries surrounding his life, especially following his death in an automobile accident that may have been a suicide. Sounds grim, but it’s laced with dark humor as well. Time magazine named it the Best Book of 2006.

Lisa Kron and Jeanine Tesori then adapted Fun Home into a stagework, which won the 2015 Tony Award for Best Musical. Opening this Friday, June 1 and running weekends through June 24, the Rhinebeck Theatre Society will present the regional premiere of Fun Home as part of its 2018 “Season of Women,” in partnership with the Hudson Valley LBGTQ Community Center. The cast includes Ashley France, Mary Kate Barnett, Eliza Petronio, Erin Flory, Jared Allyn Decker, Alex Heinen, Lisa Delia,

Arthur Getz New Yorker cover exhibition opens this Saturday at Millerton’s Moviehouse

None of the late Arthur Getz’s cover paintings for The New Yorker ever became as iconic as Saul Steinberg’s View of the World from Ninth Avenue, nor was his style as instantly recognizable as that of Charles Addams or William Steig or Roz Chast. In retrospect, it was the variety of his images that impresses most. And yet, a strong case could be made that his diverse oeuvre by itself defines the New Yorker “look.” Certainly he was the publication’s most prolific art contributor, producing a grand total of 213 covers between 1938 and 1988.

Trained at the Pratt Institute and later mentored by Philip Guston, Getz made his early mark as one of the muralists hired by the federal government during the Great Depression under the Works Progress Administration’s public art program. Besides having his paintings widely published in magazines, he went on to teach at the School of Visual Arts and the University of Connecticut, and also to write and illustrate children’s books.

Thirty of Getz’s original cover paintings, covering a timespan from the 1950s to the ’80s, are now on loan to the Moviehouse in Millerton for a summer exhibition in the M Studio Gallery. The show opens with a reception from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. this Saturday, June 2. The public is invited, no tickets are required and refreshments will be served. The Moviehouse is located at 48 Main Street in Millerton. For more info, call (518) 789-0022 or visit www. themoviehouse.net.

The most fervent of them – the ones who have read all the spinoff books and comics and watched all the spinoff cartoons that flesh out the Galaxy Far, Far Away – found a lot of things to hate about it. Some were trivial complaints, such as how silly Adam Driver, however buff, looked shirtless in high-waisted Mom pants. Some had more substance, storytelling-wise, such as the fact that the long-running character of Admiral Ackbar was killed off rather abruptly.

But the biggest beef seemed to be the audacity with which screenwriter/director Rian Johnson dared to develop the aging Luke Skywalker’s character from the geewhiz hero of the original trilogy into a cranky, cynical recluse who wants nothing more to do with the Force after his prize pupil went berserk and massacred his fellow trainees in Luke’s lightsaber dojo.

It feels a little ironic, then, to have to report that the newest installment in the Star Wars big-screen franchise, Solo: A Star Wars Story, seems lackluster largely on account of the narrative chances that it fails to take – and also because the major character beloved by fans precisely for his cynical exterior (masking reluctant heroism) is portrayed as‌someone we don’t quite recognize. It’s not just that Han Solo is young and relatively unformed here. Nor is it merely that Alden Ehrenreich doesn’t have the charismatic heft to wear the swashbuckling mantle of Harrison Ford; who does? He certainly appears to have spent enough time in front of a mirror practicing his takes on Ford’s winsome smirk, his arrogant

slouch, his growly vocal delivery.

No, what goes awry here is mainly that, even with Return of the Jedi’s Lawrence Kasdan himself co-penning the screenplay with his son Jonathan, we’re not seeing a Han who could believably grow into the older Han we know and love – the diamond-in-the-rough who needs a whole lot of tumbling before he can be persuaded to do something so virtuous as to join a political rebellion. Instead we see a fresh-faced youngster who, despite the fact that he grew up parentless on a scuzzy spaceship-building planet where he’s forced to work as a thief/smuggler/ wheelman for a street gang, still comes off as a rather innocent, joyriding teen wannabe-hoodlum. Already, Han’s not in it totally for himself. He’s mostly motivated into taking dicey jobs by his determination to get back to Qi’ra (Emilia Clarke), the girlfriend from whom he has been forcibly separated.

The point is, it’s too soon for this to be happening in Han Solo’s arc. Too much of his cynicism has already rubbed off; he’s supposed to be a tough nut to crack when we first encounter him in Star Wars IV: A New Hope. Presumably the sequels – of which two are already planned – are meant to demonstrate how Han loses his youthful idealism, as Qi’ra pursues her own arc of growing power within the Crimson Dawn crime syndicate, which has links to the Sith. But it feels like a cheat.

What dramatic tension can possibly be built up, if we have no doubts that Han will ever be thoroughly seduced by the Dark Side? No real risk, no real drama.

doubtless attributable to the midstream change of directors from Phil Lord and Christopher Miller to Ron Howard. But mostly, Solo feels excessively safe, not to mention fanservicey. Viewers who disliked Last Jedi for its deviations from extendedStar Wars-universe canon may find this one much more within their comfort zone. It checks off plenty of hoped-for boxes, such as depicting how Han first met and bonded with Chewbacca (Joonas Suotamo), how he won the Millennium Falcon “fair and square� from Lando Calrissian in a gambling den. The middle act revolves around the exact circumstances of why and how Han (with considerable assistance) “made the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs.� If this is the backstory that you needed shown rather than told, Solo may be your idea of a good Star Wars movie. It’s not exactly mine.

There are some excellent performances here, notably Donald Glover as the wily, vain, smooth-talking younger Lando and Phoebe Waller-Bridge as the voice of L3-

37, Lando’s feisty navigator droid, who gleefully instigates a droid uprising on a mining planet. Woody Harrelson and Thandie Newton put in solid work as a talented pair of interplanetary smugglersfor-hire. Emilia Clarke’s acting skills don’t impress me any more in Solo than they do on Game of Thrones, where she’s my candidate for the weakest among the lead-character ensemble. And the usually engaging Paul Bettany seems wasted in the role of alien crime czar Dryden Voss, having been brought in late in the game to reshoot scenes originally acted by Michael K. Williams. As for Ehrenreich, he tries his best, but‌well, he’s no Harrison Ford.

If you hated The Last Jedi, take Solo as your consolation prize. If you look for storytelling that takes your imagination in new directions, you won’t be missing much if you give it a pass. – Frances Marion Platt

May 31, 2018

Conan McCarty and Justin Pietropaolo worked with climbing instructor Greg Kanter to prepare for their roles in Shadowland's newest production, K2.

OPENING

Shadowland launches new season with K2

W

ith its consistently high-caliber Actors’ Equity performers, superb sightlines and not-entirely-safe selection of plays, Shadowland Stages in Ellenville is a great place to put on your summer theater list.

Amazingly, this little vaudeville house will host the American premiere of Bang Bang! a new English version of Georges Feydeau’s classic 1892 farce Monsieur chasse! Here’s the kicker: The adaptation was done by John Cleese. Yes, that John Cleese.

But that’s not until August. The 2018 Shadowland Stages season kicks off with something much more serious: an intense drama about a pair of mountaineers stuck on the face of K2, the world’s second-highest mountain. Dealing with a serious injury and trapped on an icy ledge at 27,000 feet, the two climbers confront the fine line between life and death. The New Yorker called the play “unexpectedly thrilling from start to finish.”

Authored by Patrick Meyers and directed by Brendan Burke, K2 officially opens this Saturday, June 2 (with a pre-party sponsored by Middletown’s Equilibrium Brewery) and runs through June 17. Curtain time is 8 p.m. on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays ($39) and 2 p.m. on Sundays ($34). Tickets for the previews at 8 p.m. on Friday, June 1 and 2 p.m. on Saturday, June 2 are discounted at $31; and watching cast and crew work the final bugs out of a new production can be even more fun than the high-polish version, if you’re fascinated by the theatrical creation process.

Shadowland’s summer and autumn fare continues as follows: Elemeno Pea by Molly Smith Metzler, directed by Brendan Burke, June 22 to July 8; Honky Tonk Laundry by Roger Bean, directed by Michael LaFleur with musical arrangements

by Jon Newton, July 13 to August 5; Bang Bang! by John Cleese, directed by James Glossman, August 10 to September 9; The Mystery of Love and Sex by Bathsheba Doran, directed by Melisa Annis, September 14 to 30; and Papermaker

by Monica Wood (Hudson Valley premiere), directed by Brendan Burke, October 5 to 21.

For tickets and more information, call (845) 647-5511 or visit https:// shadowlandstages.org. Shadowland Stages is located at 157 Canal Street in Ellenville.

Mark Twain. Annual dinner, now in its 23rd year, will feature all-time great American author and humorist, Mark Twain, expertly portrayed by Bob Gleason of the American Historical Theatre.

Diners will have the opportunity to meet and interact with the famous writer and intellectual, as well as hear his inspirational thoughts on life, politics and love. Cocktails on the riverside lawn, candlelight dinner in the barn prepared by Bridgecreek Catering, banjo music, silent and live auctions.$150 per person.

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

Welcome invasives Assets may outweigh faults of autumn olive and black locust

A

s I was bicycling down the rail trail that runs past my back yard, I was almost bowled over by a most-delectable aroma wafting from a most-despised plant. The plants were autumn olives (Elaeagnus umbellata), shrubs whose fine qualities I’m reluctant to mention for fear of eliciting scorn from you knowledgeable readers.

Yet you’ve got to admit that the plant does have its assets, in addition to the sweet perfume of its flowers. Okay, here goes: The plant is decorative, with silvery leaves that are almost white on their undersides.

And the masses of small fruits dress up the stems as they turn silver-flecked red (yellow, in some varieties) in late summer.

Those fruits are very puckery until a little after they turn red, but then become quite delicious, and healthful. (I included autumn olive in my book Uncommon Fruits for Every Garden, and also planted them – but that was before the plant became illegal here.)

Another asset of autumn olive is that it actually improves the soil, converting airborne nitrogen, which plants can’t use, into soilborne nitrogen for use by autumn olives and nearby plants.

This native of Asia, introduced into the US almost 200 years ago, was promoted in the last century as a plant for wildlife and soil improvement. Decades ago I worked for the USDA in what was then known as the Soil Conservation Service (now the Natural Resource Conservation Service), an agency that not only promoted the plant but also developed varieties for extensive planting.

Autumn olive likes it here and has invaded fields throughout the Northeast, the Pacific Northwest and even Hawaii. It’s an invasive plant. Don’t grow it! (But feel free to enjoy its aroma, its beauty and its fruits.)

The classification of “native invasive” highlights the capricious legality and classification of invasive plants. Where is the boundary within which a plant becomes an accepted native?

As autumn olive blossoms fade, the temporary vacuum in sweet-perfumed air will be filled by another plant, black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia). That aroma comes from the white blossoms that dangle in chains like wisteria blooms from this tree’s branches.

Like autumn olive, black locust has other assets in addition to those offered by its blossoms. It’s a leguminous plant, like peas and beans, so, with the help of bacteria residing in its roots, also puts airborne nitrogen into a form utilizable by plants.

Black locust’s other assets refer to it when dead: The dense wood is very resistant to rot – much, much more so than cedar – and is very high in BTUs for burning. I converted all my garden’s fenceposts and arbors, which I had previously made from cedar and lasted only about ten years, to locust.

I’m lucky enough to have a mini-forest of them growing along one edge of my property.

KATJA SCHULZ

Quick growth and the ability to resprout from stumps and grow in poor soil by “making” its own nitrogen make black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) a plant not loved by everyone.

I cut them when they are five or six inches in diameter, and in ten-or-so years I have a new one to replace the cut one. It adds up.

Quick growth and the ability to resprout from stumps and grow in poor soil by “making” its own nitrogen make black locust, like autumn olive, a plant not loved by everyone.

Despite being native here in the US, black locust has been classified as a “native invasive.”

The reason is that it was originally native to only two regions in the US, from which it has now spread far and wide.

The classification of “native invasive” highlights the capricious legality and classification of invasive plants. Where is the boundary within which a plant becomes an accepted native? In the mountain that rises up just behind my valley setting, lowbush and highbush blueberry are thriving natives. But these plants would never turn up here on my land, except that I planted them (and both thrive).

Clove currant is another plant that I grow – one that, in addition to bearing spicy fruits, is resistant to just about every threat that Nature could throw at it: deer, insects, diseases, cold, drought. And it’s a native plant – but native throughout the Midwest, not here. Should I call it a “native”?

Black locust is such a useful tree that its spread was aided and abetted by humans. But it also would have spread, albeit more slowly, without our intervention. Even autumn olive, given enough time, might have hitchhiked here in some way from Asia.

The Earth’s landscape is not static. Changes represent interactions of climate, vectors, chance and time. Nostalgia may have us wishing for the view out the window to remain the same as it was when we were children, but that’s not Mother Nature’s way.

Upcoming event: June 2, 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. is my annual plant sale of permaculture plants, native plants, beautiful plants, luscious plants and beautiful-andluscious plants, all organically grown. Contact me for more information or the plant list at garden@leereich.com.

FOR ADOPTION: Danny Boy is a handsome Gray Cat Boy w/the softest fur ever! Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s neutered, up to date w/ shots and litter pan trained. The vet estimates Danny Boyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s age as under 2-years. And did I mention: Danny Boy is one of the sweetest, most trusting cats you could ever hope to meet? If

youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re interested in meeting him at his foster home in Shokan, please email DRJLPK@aol.com or text/call (917)282-2018 . If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like a return call, please leave your full name, phone number w/area code and best time to reach you. â&#x20AC;&#x153;CINNAMONâ&#x20AC;?; SWEET ORANGE/ TAN SENIOR CAT BOY has had a rough few months. First, his caregiver passed away. Then, when a family member took Cinnamon, the dogs and cat already in the house didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t welcome him & he was relegated to the laundry room. Now, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at SAS, waiting for a person or people to love him and let him know he is valued and special. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost 11-years old. â&#x20AC;&#x153;MEGHANâ&#x20AC;? ; GORGEOUS LONG HAIR CALICO is a beautiful 1-year old cat girl. She was found in a feral colony (community cats) and clearly didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t belong. She is now safe and secure at SAS. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a quiet girl who needs to know she will never be outside to fend for herself again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;HARRYâ&#x20AC;? ; CALM CAT BOY, WHITE W/GRAY TABBY MARKINGS, along w/two other 1-year old cats, was left in an apartment. The family moved

and just left them. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to believe that anyone would do that. Harry is on the thin side. Either he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t given enough food or the other two cats ate most of the food. Make life right for Harry by adopting him and giving him good food, love and kindness for the rest of his life. These wonderful cats are ready to be adopted to loving homes. They have been spayed/neutered, are up to date with shots and are litter pan trained. Cinnamon, Meghan, Harry and other Cats and Dogs at the shelter need loving homes. Visit and see if you meet the newest member of your family! SAUGERTIES ANIMAL SHELTER, 1765 NY Route 212, Saugerties, NY. (845)679-0339.

Want to help but canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t adopt a cat?

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget about our Foster Program ! Visit our website UCSPCA.org, for details & pictures of cats to foster.
