omposers approach classical music’s grandest forms – symphonies, concerti, operas – with an acute sense of what Johannes Brahms called “the tramp of a giant” behind them. Brahms was referring specifically to Beethoven and the impossible standards he set for symphonic music in terms of innovation and sheer relevance. So intimidating was Beethoven’s legacy, it took Brahms more than 15 years to finish his first symphony (though the remaining three followed quickly, once he had broken through). Long-form orchestral music is where

Maverick announces its robust and rangy 103rd season of “music in the woods” and its unique and acoustically superb seasonal Woodstock hall. Typically, Maverick seasons adopt a loose-fitting theme or two, and this year is no different. Five concerts in July are devoted to the theme of “Americans in Paris,” invoking the atmosphere of the city to which so many creative Americans flocked for freedom and inspiration and celebrating a number of interrelated milestones: the 95th birthday one of America’s greatest song composers, Ned Rorem; the centennial of the birth of America’s greatest conductor, Leonard Bernstein; and the centenary of the death of Claude Debussy in 1918.

NATIONAL BOATBUILDING CHALLENGE AND BRIGHTWORK: A MAKERS’ FESTIVAL IN KINGSTON
A
cquiring a working 1930s Chris-Craft motorboat might be outside the budget range of most of us, but, thanks to the existence of the Riverport Wooden Boat School next door to the Hudson River Maritime Museum (HRMM), building a small boat of one’s own is a more realistic dream for many. For inspiration, check out the National Boatbuilding Challenge in Kingston this weekend. The National Boatbuilding Challenge is a nationwide competition; 2018 is the second year that HRMM is playing host as a first-round venue. You get into the finals by being part of a team of two people who successfully construct a seaworthy boat from scratch in just four hours: between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. on Saturday, June 23. By 4 p.m., the boats will be judged for “quality of build” and ready to enter in a rowing race on the Rondout. The Boatbuilding Challenge is just one component of Brightwork: A Makers’ Festival, a community celebration of “the art of craft” happening this weekend at the Maritime Museum. Unless you’re taking a workshop with some visiting artisan, there’s no charge to attend Brightwork, which will feature maker demonstrations, live music, hands-on activities for children, art, craft and food vendors. Brightwork: A Makers’ Festival opens to the public at 11 a.m. on Saturday, runs until 6 p.m. and then returns on Sunday, June 24, minus the Boatbuilding Challenge, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. If you haven’t yet discovered Kingston’s Strand as a summer staycation destination that will make you feel like you’ve instantly apparated to some quaint coastal village far away, this event is the perfect excuse to check it out. You will definitely want to come back. You might even feel inspired to build yourself a wooden boat. To register for the National Boatbuilding Challenge or find out more about the Brightwork schedule, visit www.hrmm. org/brightwork.html. The Hudson River Maritime Museum and Riverport Wooden Boat School are located at 50 Rondout Landing, along the Strand in Kingston. – Frances Marion Platt Brightwork: A Makers’ Festival, Saturday/Sunday, June 23/24, 11 a.m., free, Riverport Wooden Boat School, 50 Rondout Landing, Kingston; www.hrmm.org/brightwork.html.

MUSIC Andrew Bird to perform in Kingston on Friday
I don’t even know what kind of show Andrew Bird is bringing to the Ulster Performing Arts Center (UPAC) on Friday, June 22. Will he be alone with his rotating speakers and his Line 6 DL4s for loops, playing fan favorites from Armchair Apocrypha and The Mysterious Production of Eggs? Will he and a few folk cronies like Tift Merritt gather around a single omni microphone? Or will he perhaps be doing the Echolocations thing, maybe in front of some spectacular projections and time-lapse Planet Earth stuff ? Thing is: I don’t care, man. I’ll be there. The Bardavon presents Andrew Bird at UPAC on Friday, June 22 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets cost $40 to $50, based on location. Purchase tickets in person at the Bardavon box office at 35 Market Street in Poughkeepsie, (845) 473-2072, or the UPAC box office at 601 Broadway in Kingston, (845) 339-6088.

Homegrown ragtime Jug Band founder Jim Kweskin plays Unison in New Paltz this Friday
T
here are certain LPs that could predictably be found in the record collections of just about anyone who was touched by the folk revival of the early-to-mid-’60s and its later crossover into rock music. Among those was, almost always, something by Jim Kweskin & the Jug Band: a “best of ” collection if not one of such classics as Jug Band Music, Relax Your Mind, Jump for Joy or See Reverse Side for Title. It was infectious feel-good music that defied all resistance from any who once gave it an ear. The genre that Kweskin’s Boston-based coterie revitalized came to be known as “jug band music,” even though the inclusion of jugplaying wasn’t truly an essential; in fact, harmonica-player Mel Lyman famously wrote in some liner notes that the late Fritz Richmond was “the only member of the band who can really blow a jug.” The original jug bands were a phenomenon of poverty, especially among Southern blacks during the Great Depression, who used instruments upcycled from household junk like old washtubs, washboards, cigar boxes and broomhandles, in addition to clay jugs. The iteration that simultaneously became wildly popular in England – there called skiffle, and practiced by the Beatles when they were still known as Jim Kweskin the Quarrymen – left jugs out entirely. Richmond gained renown as the world’s foremost washtub-bassplayer, and kazoos and wax-paper-covered combs were also part of the Kweskin Jug jumped ship for the Kweskin lineup, married guitarist/mandolinist/vocalist Geoff Band’s funky homemade sound; but it also incorporated “normal” instruments like Muldaur, changed her name and later had a Top 40 hit with “Midnight at the Oasis.” guitar, banjo and mandolin. Mostly it mined the music of the 1920s through ’40s; If you’re noticing a lot of Woodstock connections in these crossovers, that’s not its signature mix was an amalgam of country blues, ragtime, swing and old-timey a coincidence, and it’s something you might want to take into consideration when bluegrass, with overtones of jump jazz, early rockabilly, Rudy Vallee-era Hollywood you find out that Jim Kweskin is headlining “An Evening of Folk Revival” this and even the occasional turn-of-the-century satirical political song.

rare blend of sophistication and savagery (that high-hat will lacerate your throat with sound alone) changed the game. For a decade after his untimely death in 1980, he was just “one of the greats of the old school,” while a younger generation of drummers – Stewart Copeland foremost among them – defined the new. Sometimes cultural impact has a latency, a delay. It was in the ’90s, the grunge and modernrock decade, in which Bonhamism graduated from being one style among many into the template: simply the way you play rock drums. John’s son Jason Bonham can hardly be accused of cashing in on his father’s thing. The talented younger Bonham has been at the family business for much longer than John ever was, and by no means has all of his work been Zeppelincentric. But he hasn’t shied away from the family brand, either. He has recorded with Page and played with Zeppelin at several of their more significant one-offs over the years.

Phoebe Legere plays the Falcon next Thursday A standard-bearer of the Abenaki/ Acadian Renaissance, Phoebe Legere is descended from one of the original Acadian families in North America: equally Canadian and American, white and Native American, a walker between worlds. She has built her fame with imaginative mastery of multiple streams of American music, from Cajun to jazz. Legere returns to the Falcon on Thursday, June 28.

Leave No Trace screening with director Q&A in Woodstock on Saturday
story of Will and his teenage daughter Tom, who have lived off the grid, blissfully undetected by authorities in a vast nature reserve on the edge of Portland, Oregon. When a chance encounter blows their cover, they’re removed from their camp and put into the charge of social services. Struggling to adapt to their new surroundings, Will and Tom set off on a perilous journey back to the wilderness, where they are finally forced to confront conflicting desires: a longing for community versus a fierce need to live apart. Debra Granik is best-known as the director and co-writer of Winter’s Bone, Jennifer Lawrence’s breakout film, which was nominated for four Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay, and won the Grand Jury Prize at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival.

ART The patterns of Petra “Costume & Custom: Middle Eastern Threads at Olana”
F
irst-time visitors to Olana, Frederic Church’s elegant, Persian-inspired hilltop estate outside Hudson, may find themselves taken aback when they enter what was once Isabel Church’s sitting room – especially if their acquaintance with pop culture is more intimate than their knowledge of the Hudson River School of art. There before them looms an image that they know they’ve seen in an Indiana Jones movie (The Last Crusade, to be precise): an exotic façade carved from rose-colored stone two millennia ago, brightly illuminated as the viewer approaches from the deep shadows of a siq or slot canyon. The large painting is Church’s El Khasné, Petra (1874), depicting the dramatic entryway to the ancient Nabataean capital of Raqmu, called Petra (“Rock”) by the Greeks and today a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the Jordanian desert. As many as 20,000 people once lived in the Rose City at the height of its glory, thanks to a sophisticated water-harvesting system and proximity to a busy caravan route. Today, Petra is Jordan’s most famous tourism site, with hundreds of thousands of visitors each year, drawn by the spectacular rock-cut tombs of kings, pre-Islamic temples and ancient amphitheater. But when Church came to Petra as part of his 1867/68 journey to Beirut, Damascus, Jerusalem and other Middle Eastern cities, it was still a place of mystery: Only 55 years had passed since its rediscovery by Swiss geographer Johann Ludwig Burckhardt, after having been forgotten by the outside world for nearly a millennium. Bedouins lived in

women under the leadership of the wife of Sheik Khallil. Barely visible in the dark foreground of El Khasné, Petra are a couple of small human figures in Bedouin dress. Church sketched on the road, but painted back home at Olana; and the costumes worn by the models in his Middle Eastern paintings were actual indigenous clothing that he collected in his travels and had shipped back to America, along with many of the home furnishings that still adorn the estate. This 19th-century textile collection is the focus of this summer’s special exhibition at the Olana State Historic Site: “Costume & Custom: Middle Eastern Threads at Olana,” which opened last Sunday, June 17. This is the first time Frederic Edwin Church’s El Khasné, Petra, 1874, that the costumes Church courtesy of the collection of Olana State Historic Site collected on that journey have Petra’s caves, later taking part in the 1917 been thoroughly identified and exhibited rebellion against the Ottoman Turks in his home, alongside drawings, sketches stirred up by T.

The wide array of historic costumes, often intricately embroidered, reflects the extraordinary craft and creativity of the Middle Eastern people who created it, and speaks as well to the evolution of ideas of gender and cultural identity in the Middle East and beyond.

Paintings at Mohonk catalogued
M
ohonk Lake, nestled high among cliffs of the Shawangunk Ridge, was a subject for Hudson River School painters even before the Mohonk Mountain House was established on the shore of the glacial lake in 1869. Over the years, the resort attracted more artists, and many of their paintings of the Mohonk landscape ended up hanging on the walls of the huge, elegant mountain house – sometimes as gifts from the artists, other times purchased by the Smiley family, now in their fifth generation managing the property. Sanford Levy, who runs Jenkinstown Antiques in Gardiner and is acknowledged as an expert on local 18th-century and early-19th-century art, has examined the Mohonk paintings and identified the artists where possible. He has written the text for Paintings at Mohonk: Visions of Our Surroundings, a catalogue of the 30 or so best works in Mohonk’s collection, along with a guide to where the paintings can be found in the mountain house. Guests can view Mohonk scenes of the past and compare them with the views of today. One of the most prominent artists in the collection, Daniel Huntington, trekked to Mohonk Lake as early as 1837 to sketch and paint. Stokes Tavern opened there in 1859, providing lodging for visitors. A decade later, Albert Smiley, a Quaker, purchased and enlarged the ten-room tavern. Until 1879, he and his twin brother, Alfred, continued to develop the lodging and landscape. In an introduction to the catalogue, Levy quotes Albert, who wrote, “I treated this property, the result of 76 purchases, as a landscape artist does his canvas, only my canvas covers seven square miles.” The Mohonk walls now display two Huntington landscapes: one of the lake, with tiny people in rowboats dwarfed by the magnificent scenery, and a romantic picture of a pitch pine, the region’s signature tree species, perched among windswept cliffs. Huntington’s finely wrought portraits of Albert Smiley and his wife, Eliza, hang in the main dining room. Some of the works, such as Henry van Ingen’s Lake Mohonk, show the landscape free of human structures – either because they were painted before the hotel was built or because the artist felt, as many Hudson River School painters did, that nature should be depicted in its purity. As time went on, artists began to include evidence of human encroachment on the landscape. An unsigned picture of a road leading to an unnamed lake is clearly influenced by Thomas Cole, but Levy says that the inclusion of a horse and rider, a small graveyard and grazing cattle are meant to show how humans have already begun to degrade the landscape.
COURTESY OF MOHONK MOUNTAIN HOUSE
Lake Mohonk by Henry Van Ingen
Later artists offered admiring documentation of the changes at Mohonk. Nelson Augustus Moore’s Lake, Summerhouse and Sky Top shows structures that were the precursors of similar ones present today. Moore includes the third wooden Sky Top observation tower, which burned in 1909 and was rebuilt in stone in 1923. The Smileys built a dock and boathouse on the lake, providing guests with rowboats to cruise the water. A painting by Carl Werntz gives us insight into the customs of the early 1900s by featuring men on the dock in suits, a woman strolling with a parasol, a man rowing a female companion across the water and a hearty young lady setting out alone in a boat. English-born artist Joseph Tubby settled in the Rondout section of Kingston, where he befriended Jervis McEntee, later one of the more successful Hudson River School painters. Tubby’s Sunset at Lake Mohonk glows with an uncanny realism. The painting was formerly owned by a collector in Maryland, who read an article that Levy had written about Tubby. “He contacted me and said he had one of Tubby’s paintings,” said Levy, “and that it said ‘Lake Mo-something’ on the back.” The Smileys were delighted to purchase the painting. Now that the paintings have been catalogued, the next step is to improve the lighting. Funding has already been budgeted to make the works more visible as they hang in the corridors and parlors. – Violet Snow

Stephen Karam’s 2016 Tony-winner The Humans and two 2017 Pulitzer nominees, Sarah DeLappe’s The Wolves and Taylor Mac’s A 24-Decade History of Popular Music, all received early development at Powerhouse. So did John Patrick Shanley’s Doubt, Theresa Rebeck’s Seminar and Billie Joe Armstrong and Michael Mayer’s American Idiot, among many other plays that went on to highly successful runs on and OffBroadway. Suffice it to say that any Powerhouse season is worth a check-in or two. This
summer, the most obvious cause for buzz is a new musical inspired by Alice in Wonderland, created by Tony-winners Duncan Sheik and Steven Sater (Spring Awakening). The workshop version of Alice by Heart runs the weekend of July 5 to 7, but you might want to think about getting your tickets right about now. The 34th Powerhouse season will feature two mainstage productions: Radio Island by Liza Birkenmeier, directed by Jaki Bradley, concerns an expert hostage negotiator who works from home and runs from June 28 to July 8. From July 19 to 29, writer/director Lisa Peterson
(An Iliad) revives and tweaks her musical adaptation of Virginia Woolf ’s novel The Waves, with music and lyrics by David Bucknam and some new music by Adam Gwon. Besides the aforementioned Alice by Heart, the 2018 season’s musical workshops include The Connector (July 1315), by Jason Robert Brown and Jonathan Marc Sherman, directed by Daisy Prince; Little Orphan Danny (July 26-29), by Dan Finnerty and Dan Lipton, directed by Sean Daniels; and Cowboy Bob (July 27-29), by Jeanna Phillips, Molly Beach Murphy and Alex Thrailkill, directed by Annie Tippe. This summer’s Inside Look Workshops are India Pale Ale (July 6-8) by Jaclyn Backhaus, directed by Will Davis, and Our Country (July 13-15) by Annie Saunders and Becca Wolff. As usual, the Powerhouse Season begins with the first of two weekends’ worth of the annual Readings Festival: June 2224 and July 20-22. Offerings will include On that Day in Amsterdam by Clarence Coo, The Pain of My Belligerence by Halley Feiffer, Milk and Honey by Rupi Kaur, The North Star by Donja R. Love, The Purists by Dan McCabe, The Dizziness of Freedom by Stephen Nathan, Melissa R. and Dorothy Sue by Geoffrey Nauffts and Jonatha Brooke and more yet to be announced. Students in the Powerhouse Theater Training Program will perform two Shakespeare plays, Measure for Measure and As You Like It; Ovid’s Metamorphoses; Caryl Churchill’s Not, Not, Not, Not, Not Enough Oxygen; and Max Reuben’s I’m Trying to Tell You Something Important.

Incredibles 2 goes to considerable trouble to evoke the retrofuturistic vibe of 1962

ven for those of us who are professionally required to deconstruct stuff we’ve seen on a screen on a weekly basis, there are times when being overly analytical about why we liked something we liked doesn’t really pay. Some experiences are just‌fundamentally experiential. Incredibles 2 is like that. It’s a thrill ride
that leaves one feeling exhilarated but doesn’t bear too much picking apart. In perusing other critics’ responses to the newest Pixar film, the most apt and succinct comment I encountered was something to the effect of, “Superhero movies should all simply be left to the animators from now on.� One might extend that argument to include all action movies, period. What works most impressively in Incredibles 2 is the superb craftsmanship with which the computer

animation guides the eye through riproaringly kinetic fights and extended chases, so that viewers never experience a “Wait a minute, what did I just see happen?� moment. No jump cuts or CGI fixes or explosions are required to gloss over the substitution of a stunt double. Nothing interrupts the smooth visual flow, or demands any further suspension of disbelief than the willingness to watch a silly cartoon movie about superheroes in the first place. For this viewer, who walked out of the first Incredibles movie 14 years ago with an ugly and undeniable taste in my mouth of Ayn Randian “Big Gummint is suppressing excellence by mandating equality� philosophy (which director Brad Bird subsequently denied), part of the sequel’s appeal is the deemphasis of that point of view.

who have to clean up the hot mess after a superhero battle seems pretty reasonable. Live-action superhero franchises rarely revisit the unintended consequences of city-leveling fights with attacking aliens, so bonus points to Incredibles 2 for going there. What is lost in the watering-down of the Objectivist viewpoint is a relatable villain. At least in the first Incredibles movie, bad guy Buddy/Syndrome could be seen as a champion of the mediocre Everyman in the same vein as Salieri in Amadeus. In the sequel, villain ScreenSlaver’s backstory and motivation seem sketchy, unconvincing, a bit tacked-on. We must content ourselves with the obvious contemporary metaphor in the way that the villainy manifests: as an entity that brilliantly uses mass media to exert mind control over the masses. It’s probably unproductive to criticize that as an anachronism; Incredibles 2 actually goes to considerable trouble to evoke the retrofuturistic vibe of 1962, and the references are more amusing than not.

Billie Piper in García Lorca’s Yerma at Rosendale Theatre this Sunday
T
he Rosendale Theatre presents a National Theatre Live performance of Yerma, Simon Stone’s radical reworking of Federico García Lorca’s masterpiece about a young woman driven to the unthinkable by her desperate desire to have a child. Billie Piper returns in her Evening Standard Best Actress award-winning role. The showing takes place on Sunday, June 24 at 2 p.m. Admission costs $12, $10 for members. The Rosendale Theatre is located at 408 Main Street (Route 213) in Rosendale. For more information, visit www. rosendaletheatre.org.
Bob/Mr. Incredible (Craig T. Nelson) reluctantly learns to manage his unruly, superpowered brood as a stay-at-home dad. That home is a sort of posh James Bond bachelor pad, loaded with gadgetry and angular “Midcentury Modern” furnishings on loan from media billionaire Winston Deavor (Bob Odenkirk) and his techie-genius sister Evelyn (Catherine Keener). Son Dash (Huck Milner) and baby Jack-Jack (Eli Fucile) get hold of the newfangled TV remote, enabling some glimpses of actual early-’60s television programming. One such snippet is the iconic intro to The Outer Limits: “There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission…” It’s a delectable foreshadowing of what ScreenSlaver is about to foist on the unsuspecting populace of Metroville. The ’60s-spy-movie atmosphere is reinforced continually by Michael Giacchino’s excellent jazzy, horn-heavy score, which seems poised at any moment to veer into the theme from Dr. No. You’ll get extra kicks out of Incredibles 2 if you lived through those days, if you waited on line for hours for the GM Futurama ride at the 1964/65 New York World’s Fair or grew up watching The Jetsons or had to learn New Math. It’s not a movie just for kids – or even just for those young adults who were kids when its predecessor came out in 2004. That being said, most kids will love it. A few may find it too intense, and caveats are particularly in order for viewers with light-sensitive seizure disorders or migraines: There’s a terrific fight sequence toward the end, when Elastigirl penetrates ScreenSlaver’s lair, that lays on the strobe effects to an extent that some may find triggering. But it’s tough to imagine anyone not totally loving the scene in which Jack-Jack wields an impressive array of superpowers whilst tussling with a foolhardy raccoon. It’s a mini-movie in itself. If Incredibles 2 has a social message,
beyond “Turn your attention now from that little screen in your hand to this big one on the wall,” it’s as retro and as evergreen as storytelling morals get: Family ties matter. So does willingness to sacrifice personal wants in support of other people’s needs. Teamwork accomplishes more than chaotic individualism. Choices, not abilities, are most essentially what make us Super, when we are. Choke on that, Ayn Rand. – Frances Marion Platt
Lumberyard’s Under Construction Summer Festival begins with Scat! Some good ideas take a long time to gestate, but turn out to have been worth waiting for. One of those, we may hope, is the transformation of a former lumberyard in Catskill into a performing arts incubator to be known as…(wait for it)…the Lumberyard. It’s a process that started in early 2016, when a Washington, DC-based not-for-profit, then called the American Dance Institute, turned its gaze upon the Hudson Valley in search of more affordable quarters. Acquiring the former Dunn Builders’ Supply company facility with help from a half-million-dollar Empire State Development grant, the organization renamed itself Lumberyard Contemporary Performing Arts and set about to renovate

the Catskill industrial site. Putting a new twist on a trail already blazed by other midHudson venues as sites for out-of-town tryouts before an artist hits the Big Apple – think Powerhouse at Vassar for theater, the Falcon for high-end jazz, Kaatsbaan for dance, Mount Tremper Arts for avantgarde performance, the Bardavon for Bob Dylan tours – Lumberyard aims to become “the only organization in the US dedicated to providing technical residencies that culminate in out-of-town premieres.” The process of opening the Catskill campus for that purpose won’t be complete until the end of this year, so several nearby stages – including Hudson Hall, Club Helsinki and the Bridge Street Theatre
that takes place in a fictional nightclub, it will be performed in the very real-life Club Helsinki Hudson on Friday and Saturday, June 29 and 30 at 9 p.m. and on Sunday, July 1 at 7 p.m. With dramaturgy by Talvin Wilks, Scat! features an original jazz score composed by Craig Harris and performed live by Harris with a five-piece band and two vocalists. Lumberyard’s summer festival continues with Streb’s Singular Extreme Actions at the Lumberyard, July 6 to 8; Bridgman/ Packer Dance’s Truck at the Lumberyard, July 13 and 14; d. Sabela Grimes at the Bridge Street Theatre, July 27 to 29; Jodi Melnick’s One of 65,000 Gestures/New Bodies at Hudson Hall, August 3 to 5; John Jasperse’s Hinterland at Hudson Hall, August 17 to 19; Ishmael Houston-Jones & Miguel Gutierrez performing Variations on Themes from Lost and Found: Scenes from a Life and other works by John Bernd at Hudson Hall, August 24 to 26; and winds up on a high note with tapmeister Savion Glover at the Lumberyard on September 1 and 2. For reservations to see Scat! call Club Helsinki at (518) 828-4800 or visit www. helsinkihudson.com. It’s located at 405 Columbia Street in Hudson.

ALMANAC WEEKLY
This rose was discovered in a garden in the ancient city of Esphahan (sometimes written as Ispahan, Sepahan, Esfahan or Hispahan) in Iran, making its way to Europe from Persia sometime in the early 19th century. Interesting that a rose claiming as home a part of the world with very hot summers, mild winters and a year-round very dry climate does so well in my garden – and elsewhere; this is a cosmopolitan plant. Why the “So sad”? Because Rose d’Ispahan blossoms only once a season. Then again, it does have a relatively long season – for a Damask rose. I’m thinking of making some new plants to plant near the east or north wall of my home, where spring’s later arrival would delay the onset
(and finish) of blossoming a few days after my plants in the sun. Rose d’Ispahan also tolerates some shade. Another immigrant in my garden is arugula. Not your run-of-the-mill arugula (Eruca sativa), but a different species, this one usually known as Italian or wild arugula (Eruca selvatica). Italian arugula has a peppery flavor similar to common arugula – to me, a little less sharp. Italian arugula has it over common arugula in two ways. First of all, I think it’s prettier, with deeply lobed rather than mostly rounded leaves. More important, Italian arugula tolerates heat better. As my rows of common arugula are sending up
seedstalks, the Italian arugula just keeps pumping out new leaves. The native home of arugulas, common and Italian, is the Mediterranean, where their flavors have been enjoyed since Roman times – perhaps more than just for their flavor. In his poem Moretum, Virgil has the line, “et Venerem revocans eruca morantem,” which translates to “and the rocket, which revives drowsy Venus’ [sexual desire].” Perhaps that’s why it was forbidden to grow arugula in monastery gardens in the Middle Ages. It’s also been suggested that the reason arugula is often mixed with lettuce in a salad is to counteract arugula’s effect; lettuce contains the chemical lactucarium, a non-narcotic sedative and analgesic,
June 21, 2018 structurally similar to opium. Lactucarium isn’t nearly as strong as opium, to say the least, because studies have shown none of the alleged effects from “lettuce opium,” as the lettuce compound has been called. (I didn’t come across any studies confirming or denying the effects of arugula, beyond good taste.) So there you have it: two immigrant plants well-worth growing. I’m glad I welcomed them into my garden, and suggest you do so also. Last-minute notice: Come visit my farmden, in real life, on Sunday, June 24. As part of the Garden Conservancy Open Days program, I’ll be hosting visitors between 1 and 4:30 p.m. on that day.

ALMANAC WEEKLY
June 21, 2018
NIGHT SKY
Look at the clouds They’ve just changed
C
louds have just had a major makeover. Most of the world has a rainy season. From California to Bombay, three months of the year deliver most of the annual rainfall. What makes our region fascinating is that we do have a cloudy season – but not a rainy season. We receive 36 to 40 inches of rain annually. Include the snow’s contribution, and this is distributed quite evenly among the 12 months. You’d think that our cloud cover would be just as even; it isn’t. We enjoy a distinct period of mostly blue skies that envelops the current period of May through October. Statistically, the sky is just one-third cloudcovered during this time. So, a very interesting thing happens. Around November 1, climate statistics show that our daily average cloud cover suddenly jumps from 35 percent to 65 percent virtually overnight. We go from mostly sunny to mainly cloudy. This alteration then lasts a dismal half-year, starts to let up in April and is fully over only now. Another thing changes cloudwise for us that’s different from winter’s overcast. Now, our mornings, with perhaps some early valley fog and then clear conditions at 9 a.m., turn into afternoons with the sky peppered with individual puffy cumulus clouds. These are driven by convection: rising warm air created by the strong Sun unevenly heating the ground. By late afternoon these puffballs dissipate, leaving the sky mostly clear once again by sunset. During that midday heating, moisture in the air promotes the process and makes thunderstorms a good possibility. So, we’ve also entered thunderstorm season. And since rainbows require sunshowers, we’ve also just started our annual rainbow season. Those spectacles also require that the Sun be somewhat low, so we simply never see summer rainbows between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. The likeliest rainbow time is June through August between 5 p.m. and sunset. So, all sorts of sky/cloud/rainbow phenomena arise now. Unlike the cold half of our year, it’s now the season of interesting puffy clouds, of sunshowers, of thunderstorms and of rainbows. Perhaps surprisingly, we also see a lot of ice-crystal phenomena. Very high up,
Very high up, above 23,000 feet, the air is so cold that ice crystals form, and these are almost always hexagonally shaped. Sunlight hitting them creates the famous 22-degree halo

BOB BERMAN | ALMANAC WEEKLY
The 22-degree halo around the sun last weekend
above 23,000 feet, the air is so cold that ice crystals form, and these are almost always hexagonally shaped. Sunlight hitting them creates the famous 22-degree halo, seen around here at least once a week. The ring is always that same size. If you spread open your hand, hold it at arm’s length and close one eye, if you place your thumb at the sun, your pinky-tip will mark the position of the halo. Look up any day when thin, streaky high-up cirrus clouds are abundant, and you’re sure to catch a halo before too long: one of the cool reasons to watch the sky during these summer months. – Bob Berman Want to know more?

ALMANAC WEEKLY

ERICA'S CANCER JOURNEY
Groove is in the heart – Rewind style “When the heart speaks, the mind finds it indecent to object.” – Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being A retrospective of a week that began as an ordinary day, with a side of shortness of breath. Monday: Home! Earlier Monday: Have tried literally everything on the hospital food menu. My Arabic is still not on its game, despite brief daily “lessons” and patient tutelage from a service employee. Mike packs up all of my room fabric “hug” banners and decorations. Sunday: Feeling great! Tube is out! I’ll be discharged sometime Monday! One cool discovery is a blue thing, known in the biz as a “pigtail,” intended to keep the attached drainage tube in place but is flexible enough to straighten when pulled out. Until then, the only visible part of the tube I could see on the exterior was clear, flowing my heart-effusion juice into the clear “purse”/collection bag. *Drain Removal Time* (yay!) Me: I want to see what you just took out. Dr.: I don’t think that’s a good idea. Me: Why not? Dr.: Because it’s covered in blood and stuff. Me: [ohhhhhhhh, no. you. didn’t.] I gave birth. I know gross. Let. Me. Seeeeeeeeeeee!!!!! You know I’ll just take it right out of the garbage anyway!... [continues relentless insistence] Dr.: [awkwardly cannot fit the collective blue waste “burrito” into the container he’d planned on, hurriedly proceeds to separate everything out for disposal while I catch a good look] Me: [gasp] It’s blue?!?!?! Dr.: What, blue’s not your color? Heh heh. [interesting explanation of pigtails ensues] More laps, more stairs. Saturday: Put on my “big-girl” clothes now that I know how to manage the drain and heart monitor better. More laps around the hall floor and stairs. (Also, emergence of a confounding story for another time: The Case of the DNR/DNI Bracelet Chronicles.) Friday: Busted by Mike for licking the cannoli filling off the lunch plate. Lots of laps around the hall floor, added stairs. Also completely inspired by a service employee’s backstory before moving to the US decades ago. Reconnected with a favorite nurse. Thursday: Can’t do the speech tonight for National Cancer Survivors’ Day in Kingston. But it was beautifully read by Robin, Tom, Jim and Benji. [printed in June 14 Almanac Weekly] Earlier Thursday: Had procedure late this morning, been sleeping most of the day after that. Finally woke up “for real” around 5 p.m. Can breathe better and brush my teeth without getting winded, but utterly exhausted. Was moved to another floor, and I now have a single room. So grateful for that! Now waiting for my effusive heart to finish draining into my tube from heart area, out through sternum, into my swanky clear plastic purse...okay, fine: pouch or collection bag or something, clipped to my hospital gown with those weirdo scissor-gators that clamp, not cut, but look just like scissors, over the next “while” (couple days?), then home. Reunited with several favorite medical caregivers. 1.04 liters came out of there, baby! Puzzled why I am still not asked to contribute to a medical journal. 1.04 liters in my heart. Even-earlier Thursday: I am for-real sobbing. I am starving. Dehydrated. All part of impossible surgery prep. My rock bottom hits rock bottom. I lose it when I’m told this torture continues until this afternoon’s surgery slot. Nurse-friend happens to walk in, hugs me at the same time that the schedule unexpectedly opens up with an earlier time. I go right in. They’re busily prepping. But it’s silent. It’s not my first rodeo. I am accustomed to more chatter during OR prep. I ask if they work together regularly. (Yes.) Then I ask, “Do you hate each other?” (Wry laughs.) I am desperate for a little levity. I share that I have never felt this isolated before, sitting here with so much happening around me but not seen or heard. Like I’m not even here. You are going in my heart. I need to connect with you humanly. I request to shake their hands before we start. I thank them for working with me. Super-early Thursday: Update! I am effusive and also have a heart effusion: excess fluid around my heart causing me to be short of breath.
Erica on board the Lois McClure canal schooner in Kingston
- Procedure to drain it “sometime” on Thursday. - No food starting midnight. - Maybe around 1 liter of fluid in there! - No, it’s not the most they’ve ever seen. - Done by a needle drain. - My main heart chamber is doing great. - The chamber behind it is where the lots-o’-fluid is. - They enter under my sternum during a live ultrasound. Advantage to having more fluid (like my situation) than less is less of a chance of needle going in too far. - 20-minute-ish procedure. - I leave surgery with a tube/drain out of my sternum into a bag on my torso. When it stops draining, drain comes out and they bandage me up for home. - I’m here at least two to three more days for all that to happen. - I should feel immediate relief after the procedure, breathing easier. - Yes, the people involved are good at it. - The fluid has probably been building up for months. - It is not anticipated to build up again, but bodies are weird, so who knows? Here for two to three more days. I feel well otherwise. Wednesday: OMG when your friend diagnoses you better (and faster!) than the doctors! (I have a heart effusion = extra fluid around my heart.) #iameffusion Effusion: an escape of fluid in a body cavity; an act of talking or writing in an unrestrained or heartfelt way. Synonyms: outburst, outpouring, gushing, rhapsody. Transformative journey from a gifted, experienced healer that led me to understand the entire effusion journey in spiritual terms. I am positively jubilant! [story for another time] Mike sends me a photo of my first purchased art piece decades ago: Effusive Text by Anita Wetzel. Everything is so connected, I can’t even. Earlier Wednesday: Hi, everyone. Here at Vassar for shortness of breath. Still tracking down a cause. Never a dull moment! (Madi wonders if it’s because Mike took my breath away :) ) Not sure how long I’m here; I feel well otherwise, but I hope to know more today. I don’t host hospital visitors because it’s too much stimulation for me on top of all of the constant poking and prodding. Plus, my shared room is tiny. But, if you’re so inclined, you’re welcome to message me your best jokes, inspirational quotes, complaints about your day, whatevs. Thx! Tuesday: Admitted to the hospital, loved up by my favorite medical caregivers who are still on that floor. Cancel neuro consults. Thursday speech still looks good to go. Earlier Tuesday: Shortness of breath has increased over the past week. Time to reach out to my medical team for suggestions (packs bags just in case, glances at tomorrow’s calendar: consults with two different neurosurgeons about these growing brain tumors).

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

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, wait-

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?
