Chekhov’s Goth queen Elisabeth Moss snarks away with Michael Mayer’s spin on The Seagull

T

he more movies one sees, the more reasons one finds for staying put all the way through the end credits. If it’s a product from the Marvel Universe, you know that there’s going to be at least one coda scene, maybe more, dropping teasers about the next installment in the ongoing story.

There might be a new rendition of the potential winner of next year’s Best Original Song Oscar, or a heartbreaking “in memoriam� dedication of the film to someone whose last work it was. There might be some hilarious blooper outtakes (if you’ve never seen the bit that was left on the cuttingroom floor because Peter Sellers simply couldn’t get through it without cracking up, you owe it to yourself to buy, rent or borrow a copy of Being There posthaste).

These days, with our region becoming a hotbed of filming locations, we sometimes have a new kind of closing-credits tidbit to enjoy: an acknowledgment of the helpfulness of the Hudson Valley Film Commission. Laurent Rejto gets a personal shout-out at the end of Michael Mayer’s new screen version of Anton Chekhov’s The Seagull, and it helped this

reviewer to walk out of the cinema with a big smile on her face, even while shaking her head, thinking, “Oh, those gloomy Slavs.�

Most of The Seagull was shot at Arrow Park in Monroe, in Orange County. The lodge perched above the lake there, an Italianate villa with Arts and Crafts Movement touches, was built in 1909 by architect Bowen Bancroft Smith for Julia Cooper and Schuyler Schieffelin. In 1948, members of a Slavic Club based in New York City and Newark raised $200,000 in hundred-dollar shares to buy the estate collectively, under the name AROW Farms, Inc., which stood for American Russian Organized Workers.

It was meant to be a country retreat for immigrant families of a socialistic bent, providing respite from the heat of both urban summers and the rising Red Scare.

Folks still reminisce about the FBI being encamped at the gates while they attended family reunions inside.

Nowadays, more than half of the surrounding 600 undeveloped acres have become part of the permanently protected

of things to do every week

Sterling Forest preserve, and the Arrow Park Lodge is mainly a wedding and event venue. Many of today’s shareholders are the children and grandchildren of the original investors. And many of the events held there, such as performances by Russian folkdance troupes, still bespeak their cultural roots. What better setting for a family drama meant to be happening at a dacha on a bewitchingly beautiful lake in the countryside outside of Moscow?

Putting a beloved stage classic onscreen always entails the risk of losing that elusive quality of engaging the imagination that we think of as “stage magic.� Not everyone who is enamored of Chekhov’s works as theater or as literature is going to love this new Seagull. But for my money, it weathers the transition well, with some at least of the credit going to the magical setting. If you’re cool with a pithy, pivotal

conversation going on in a rowboat instead of a drawing room, it may well work for you too. In fact, Stephen Karam’s screenplay is able to condense a fair bit of exposition by showing rather than telling, as is supposed to be the strong suit of cinema as an artform. Instead of having the frustrated young Symbolist playwright Konstantin (Billy Howle) tote a stuffed seagull around for a couple of acts, we actually get to see him shoot it out of the sky. But we can still share the bafflement of his errant ladylove Nina (Saoirse Ronin) about what in the hell he means by it.

The cast here is very strong, although not uniformly wondrous. Ronin looks as luminous as she can possibly be (which is to say, considerably) in the light reflected off the lake, but struggles a little with the starstruck ingenue role; we’ve seen her do much better work elsewhere. I was also less than 100 percent impressed with Corey Stoll’s muted rendition of Boris Trigorin, the successful author who is Konstantin’s rival for the love of both women in his life. Stoll fails to convey either the self-deprecating charm that’s supposed to make Trigorin irresistible to women or the cynical, calculating user underlying his public persona, and his very American accent seems intrusive.

Annette Bening gets a well-earned star turn in the role of one of the most horrible moms in literature, the celebrated-butaging classical actress Irina Arkadina.

She resplendently delivers Arkadina’s vanity, her self-indulgence, her callous inattentiveness to her son, her envy of the competing talents of others, her miserliness of the heart as well as the purse. But she also lets us see the fragile self-esteem underlying it all, along with a somewhat modernized suggestion that the character’s boredom with life is a product of ADHD. The scene where she is changing Konstantin’s bandage following his bollixed suicide attempt (yes, this is the play wherein Chekhov’s famous gun resides) is a poignant highlight, as the young man clings to his fragmentary memories of his mother’s occasional capacity to be nurturing, while Arkadina can clearly recall only the famous artists she has known and how she outshone them all.

Though he’s a little too pretty for the castoff boyfriend role, Howle does a fine job – especially when he’s called upon

to channel Konstantin’s inner torment comedically by having him throw himself into some Rachmaninoff on the piano. In fact, Chekhov’s dark humor, poking fun at the tendency of people living near the Arctic Circle to take their existential angst a bit too seriously, flows more freely in this film than it often does onstage. Best by far is Elisabeth Moss as Masha, the daughter of the estate’s caretakers who nurses a long, hopeless crush on Konstantin and drowns her misery in vodka, snuff and irony. Masha mocks her own maudlin tendencies even as she airs them: a delicate balance that Moss brings off with exquisite timing and nuance. Why did nobody think before of portraying the perpetually black-clad Masha as the 19th-century embodiment of a contemporary Goth sensibility? It works beautifully here, and Moss absolutely steals every scene in which she appears.

It falls to Masha to remark that unrequited love exists only in fiction, even as she coolly and knowingly takes the measure of the thwarted longings of nearly all those around her. This idyllic lakeside haven, it seems, is where old dreams go to languish and wither, while new ones die a-borning. Maybe that’s the human condition – especially if you’re an artist. Or Russian. Or a Russian artist, especially. Chekhov somehow got that at some level, there’s humor to be found in that doom. In Mayer’s Seagull, with the assistance of some on-point acting and some evocative mid-Hudson countryside, we all can get the joke.

World premiere of Scat!

Lumberyard’s Under Construction Summer Festival begins with Urban Bush Women musical at Helsinki Hudson

S

ome good ideas take a long time to gestate, but turn out to have been worth waiting for. One of those is the transformation of a former lumberyard in Catskill into a performing arts incubator to be known as 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. 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 – are pitching in to enable Lumberyard Contemporary Performing Arts to present its inaugural season, dubbed the Under Construction Summer Festival. It kicks off this weekend with the world-premiere performance of Scat! the latest work by Bessie, Capezio, Doris Duke and Dance Magazine awardwinning choreographer Jawole Willa Jo Zollar, founder of the renowned contemporary dance troupe Urban Bush Women.

A dance-driven musical set in the 1940s and ’50s that takes place in a fictional nightclub, it will be performed in the very reallife 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.

MICHAEL LAVIN

Last week artist Jesse Lee Wilson and two assistants created The River, wheeling chalk dust over nearly an acre of parking lot in Woodstock. Wilson based his piece on a single line copied from a topographical map of Kaaterskill Falls, a site that inspired the Hudson River School of landscape painters.

The River runs through it A parking lot becomes an art installation in Woodstock

H

aving done some ad hoc public art projects in Woodstock herself, artist Gay Leonhardt thought it would be cool to curate town projects that “are ephemeral, nonpolitical and lots of fun – works that in an interesting way change our view of public space.” So, after getting permission from the Woodstock Town Board last February, she launched the Woodstock Public Art Project: Park the Art, which uses the gravel town parking lot off Rock City Road as its canvas and nontoxic chalk, applied with a little wheeled field marker borrowed from the head of the local Little League, as the medium. Working with curator/juror Sara Lynn Henry, she posted a call to artists on various arts-related websites and got a knockout proposal from Manhattan-based artist Jesse Lee Wilson, who has a background primarily in sculptural installations.

Wilson and two assistants installed the first of four planned artworks on the site last week. Titled The River, the

piece consists of a series of thick white wavering lines, akin to the rivulets in a stream or the lines on a topographical map, covering nearly an acre of parking lot. The actual lot is an acre-and-a-half, but unbeknownst to the planners, the New York State Department of Transportation got permission from the town to use the lot as a staging area for roadwork on Mill Hill Road and moved a bunch of heavy equipment and piles of gravel onto a portion of it just before Wilson installed the piece. Such are the vagaries of public art projects on parking lots.

Wilson structurally based the piece on a single line copied from a topographical map of Kaaterskill Falls, a site that inspired the Hudson River School of landscape painters before him. He recreated that line (“a form that particularly hugged where the water carved the most distinct features through the falls,” as he described it) on the crushed stone of the parking lot, and then – assisted by two recent graduates of the Bernard & Anne Spitzer School of Architecture, part of the City

College of New York – drew parallel lines that repeated the pattern of the topo line, creating a kind of giant-scaled map, using 1,200 pounds of chalk. “We’d take turns rolling the cart that left the chalk line, each one of us doing it in a slightly different way,” he said.

It took five hours on a hot, steamy day to complete the piece. Despite the fact that a parking lot is the last place you want to be when the heat index is 102, Wilson said that his helpers had fun: “As architects, they think about things in a determined way, so they enjoyed this more flowing, organic process, which is more like poetry and a dance.”

Freshly drawn – or rather wheeled – the bright white lines were in stark contrast to the dark-gray stone, a graphic effect that fulfilled Wilson’s aim of “activating an underutilized space.” “It was a stunner,” said curator Sara Lynn Henry. Leonhardt recruited her neighbor and friend Michael Lavin to take photographs with his drone of the piece as it was being made and right

after. Almost immediately, one section began to blur, as heavy trucks drove in and out. Five days later, however, the wavy lines were still every much in evidence, even as the parking lot was full of cars due to a sold-out concert across the street at Colony.

Leonhardt admired the way the squiggly lines, running in a diagonal across the lot, defied the grid of parked cars, dissolving the rough gravel surface, as if the cars were instead floating on water. Later that night, when the cars were leaving, the sweep of headlights further dematerialized the gravel, which took on the transparency of the brown river. Off to one side loomed the heavy equipment, whose brute bulk provided an absurdist contrast to the lyrical earth drawing of fading chalk lines, noted Wilson.

Though some sections of the lines were smudged, their movement was still insistent, suggesting natural forces.

Indeed, Wilson said that he hoped the effect would be “like a drawing of topographical lines in India ink that had spilled water on it, which washed across the lines. I’m interested in memory traces and marks left by geological and meteorological forces. Those forces act at such a slow rate of time…[the activity of ] driving, walking and the impact of the excavation equipment mimic those forces in a faster way.”

Leonhardt and Henry initially considered erecting a banner or sandwich board to direct people’s attention to the site, but settled on a discreet plaque – it’s located to the left of the entrance . “Rather than announcing ‘This is art,’ we’d rather people go into the lot and discover it,” Henry said.

“I love the surprise of it,” commented Wilson, adding that the piece stands out when viewed from the sky. A couple of years ago, he installed a large inflatable

BOOK

ED SANDERS READS FROM HIS NEW RFK BOOK IN KINGSTON THIS SUNDAY

T

he great American original Ed Sanders (Second-generation Beat poet and fiction writer? Pop and political historian? Underground rock star? Longstanding Woodstock community pillar? Why, yes!) regards his latest work, Broken Glory: The Last Years of Robert F. Kennedy, as a poem – perhaps, to his mind, a heroic, historically situated epic poem in the tradition of the Iliad and the Odyssey. His publishers were apparently loath to call it such, classifying it unambiguously, right on the cover, as a “graphic history.” Again and again, the touching character drawings by Rick Veitch locate the vulnerability and the unjaded spirit in RFK’s weary countenance, as well as the humanity in Sirhan Sirhan’s, among the rest of the real-life cast.

Sanders will read from his new book this Sunday, July 1 at 3 p.m. at the Kingston Artists’ Collective.

Fragmentar y but coalescing, multi-strand, multi-perspective, Broken Glory is the stunning yield of more than 40 years of research and rumination and letting facts talk to facts.

In the back of his mind, it was what Sanders was working on while he was working on all the other things he has written and recorded in his tireless career as a cultural trickster and serious moral historian. Locally, the pillar of Ed Sanders’ fame might well be his lead role in the band of rock ‘n’ roll subversives Locally, the pillar of Sanders’ fame might known as the Fugs, but internationally he will always well be his lead role in be known principally as the best-selling author of The the band of rock ‘n’ roll Family, the first great work on Charles Manson. subversives known as the Fugs, but internationally he will always be known principally as the best-selling author of The Family, the first great work on Charles Manson (a subject that he has kept writing about ever since). The ’60s-into-the-’70s is Sanders’ milieu and obsession, but history is never as discrete and neat as the closed narrative frames of books and decades would make us believe; it’s all connected, dude. It was in the process of researching Manson that Sanders first got hipped to some funny business regarding the assassinations of RFK and JFK and MLK, which Sanders believes are interrelated.

Broken Glory proceeds in short, titled bursts of journalistic narrative – facts, mostly, often with citations right there in the fabric of the verse: Sirhan’s youth, his aspirations to be a jockey, his unaccountably lengthy hospitalization for a head injury; Kennedy’s growing opposition to the war in Vietnam and his awakening awareness of a global youth movement, his halting moves toward declaring his candidacy, his unease about the official story of his brother’s assassination; subjects related to MK Ultra and the reality of hypnosis- and drug-based mind control; the assassination of Martin Luther King and all the fissures in the official account. The global pace forward is brisk, but the approach to narrative time is acutely nonlinear as Sanders loops back over the same temporal tracks on different horses, again and again.

This recursive technique is subtle and natural at first – necessary, given the number of horses Sanders straddles – but as the book converges from multiple angles on one critical point, time seems to stop and the intensity of the story – still mostly journalistic in tone – becomes almost unbearable. Our narrative expectations brace for the payoff, the shots we know are coming, the shots we remember; but because of Sanders’s nonlinear, prismatic and pastiche approach, that terrible payoff never seems to arrive and yet happens over and over again. It is torture, but of the most masterful kind.

Sanders is an unabashed fan of RFK and of what might have been

sculpture on a farm in his home state of Wisconsin, which can be viewed on Google Earth.

The feedback has been good, and has come from unexpected quarters, including the Highway Department staff, whose superintendent “came by twice,” said Leonhardt. “People do notice it, and they think it’s cool. Part of the pleasure of working on the project is it’s pure fun.

People enjoy it without taking on a heavy load.”

Wilson’s piece is the first of four that are

Initially, Leonhardt and Henry intended each installation to last a month; but come July 18, they’re not sure, should Wilson’s piece still be decipherable, if they will commission another piece in conjunction with what’s left of his or have him erase it. “The timing is a little loose,” said Leonhardt. “A lot of the current work is still on the ground, so we might add more time or ask the next artist to do a smaller piece.” She noted that there aren’t any dollars connected with the project (except for the $5.50 cost of

Most of Broken Glory’s final 150 pages deal with the events of June 4 and 5, 1968, at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. As many as 50 pages examine with microscopic patience the architecture of a moment: a series of unexpected changes in the route that the candidate took within the guts of the Ambassador after delivering his speech upon winning what should have been the pivotal California Democratic primary.

Sanders is not the first to look at the RFK assassination as the product of a conspiracy involving the CIA and potentially other parties as well, and he doles out credit gratefully to the other researchers, authors and documentarians who share his path. All of the characters, from the Kennedy’s famous and influential entourage to the sketchy figures central to the conspiracy theories, are present: the man with the German accent and the downturned moustache, the girl in the polka-dot dress.

In his foreword, Sanders begins by acknowledging two things about himself: first, that he is an unabashed fan of RFK and of what might have been: “What a calamity to American RICK VEITCH history was the murder of Robert Kennedy!” Next, preempting the charges of conspiracy theory that are already ringing in around his words, before he has even finished a sentence, he says an enthusiastic “Yes” to the former, a flat “No” to the latter. Sanders never uses the word “theory”: “How different would the course of the United States have been if a rogue and powerful group had not killed, and covered up his murder, and the murders of John Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr. as well?” He is certain of it. Too weird? “Nothing,” Sanders writes several times, “is too weird for 1968.” Think what you will, but it is hard to take Sanders’ 40 years of research lightly.

That two-sentence introduction is about as naked and overtly judgmental as Sanders gets here. The rest of the time, his sneaky authorial presence ducks in and out of the story, often inconspicuously, in parenthetical comments, occasional poetic set pieces, a Greek tragedy subplot and in frequent beatnik deviations in voice from the otherwise-reportorial tone. Broken Glory almost concludes with a short, metrical and rhyming poem called “Sung,” in which Sanders plays the role of his own Greek chorus as he asks, Tell me again why the guns always aim to the left with gun powder ballots & voting with knife heft never for peace always for strife empire & war a dollar a life.

So, is Broken Glory, all 300+ pages of it, a poem? I vote “Yes.” If your chief objection is that Homer wrote his/her epic historical poems in scannable, metrical verse, whereas Sanders’ prismatic history is told in what appear to be short bursts of press clippings, with some poetic chunking of content and artful lineation, then you, my man, need to catch up with 20th-century poetics and prosodics. In the last words of his foreword, Sanders expresses his debt of gratitude, as one always does at the end of acknowledgments, to his two mentors in the poetic craft, the greater makers.

Famously, Sanders learned from chief Beat officer Allen Ginsberg, who explored long, biblically inspired forms as well as new (old) modes of verse based more on syntactical units than on metrics in Howl and Kaddish and The Fall of America. Less famously, Sanders studied with Charles Olson, central figure of the influential Black Mountain school of poets, author of the epic Maximus poems and a philosopher of poetics who called his approach to poetry “projective verse,” in which cadence and rhythm are based on breath and energy transfer rather than upon rhyme and the counting of syllables, accents or verse feet.

Both Ginsberg and Olson owed much of their own poetic conceptions to William Carlos Williams. Williams may be known for his glazed wheelbarrow and his stealthy plums, but it was in Patterson that the good doctor proposed both what a modern epic poem might look like and what modalities of verse best serve a modern epic voice. So, by that sturdy standard and in those great traditions, Broken Glory absolutely checks out as poetry. In fact, its approach to line shaping and page design practically qualifies as concrete poetry. The units of content that seem arbitrary at first focus and intensify the narrative energy to a point that is tortuous and heartbreaking, without ever much violating the decorum of the reportorial voice. For, as much as Sanders wants RFK to be a unifying, epic hero presiding over justice and prosperity in the manner of Odysseus, history made a tragic hero of him instead.

Unexpectedly, the site, despite being a parking lot, has turned out to be spectacular, said Henry. “It’s not an urban or town site, but a nature site,” she said.

“It’s fully surrounded by trees and foliage and you have a view of the mountains in one direction.” Plus, “the slight hillock when one drives in” puts the whole parking lot in one’s vision. “Anyone who hikes in the Catskill Mountains Preserve will see the nature of that place in this piece.

NATURE Coyote power

Coyote took the fish to his wife.

“Wife, behold the many fish I caught using Kingfisher’s technique. He is afraid of me and told me not to do it again. He knows my medicine is strong.”

His wife cooked the fish.

– From the Okanagan version of the Native American story “The Bungling Host,” as told (more or less) in Lewis Hyde’s Trickster Makes This World: How Disruptive Imagination Creates Culture.

Our local coyotes are bigger and more social than their Western cousins, thanks to wolf ancestry

III. The persecuted “The cayote is a long, slim, sick and sorry-looking skeleton, with a gray wolfskin stretched over it, a tolerably bushy tail that forever sags down with a despairing expression of forsakenness and misery, a furtive and evil eye, and a long, sharp face, with slightly lifted lip and exposed teeth. He has a general slinking expression all over. The cayote is a living, breathing allegory of Want. He is always hungry.

He is always poor, out of luck and friendless. The meanest creatures despise him, and even the fleas would desert him for a velocipede. He is so spiritless and cowardly that even while his exposed teeth are pretending a threat, the rest of his face is apologizing for it. And he is so homely!

So scrawny, and ribby, and coarse-haired, and pitiful.”

– Mark Twain, Roughing It

“Coyote power: surviving by one’s intelligence and wits when others cannot; embracing existence in a mad, dancing, laughing, sympathetic expression of pure joy at evading the grimmest of fates; exulting in sheer aliveness; recognizing our shortcomings with rueful chagrin.”

– Dan Flores, Coyote America I. An encounter he O&W Rail Trail, Marbletown, dusk. If I weren’t on a bike, the mosquitos would be overwhelming; but I’m gliding along unbitten, the forest’s cool shade and birdsong a welcome relief after pedaling under the sun on the roads of Kingston and Hurley. Miles away from the main trailheads, the path is clear of walkers and joggers. A bicyclist coming from the opposite direction appears as a disturbance in the symmetry of the slowly unfolding landscape, originating from the vanishing point and seeming to move faster as he get closer.

Then a sound like my own tires in the gravel comes into earshot and the next moment he’s past, and I have the trail to myself again.

T something crossed my path. It was the size and shape of a German Shepherd, but light on its feet – so light, as it trotted through the undergrowth across the trail 50 feet ahead of me, that its head seemed to stay perfectly level, as if the different parts of its body were operated by separate intelligences, the legs gliding along over rough terrain, finding the path, while the mind was free to regard me coolly.

There was no mistaking it for a dog. A dog would pack another 25 to 40 pounds on the same frame, and would bound over fallen tree branches and the raised trail, shoulders and hindquarters in visible gallop, tail up, tongue out. A dog wouldn’t look at a human speeding his way with cool indifference. This was a wild animal, its wildness more arresting because of its familiar appearance, the way a morerealistic-but-imperfect animation of a person’s face is more jarring than a lessaccurate design.

I’d heard mad yips and yaps in the distance, usually on winter nights; but I’d imagined small jackal-like animals, nocturnal, and so wary and rare that somehow I couldn’t picture them inhabiting the fields and forests I knew.

Instead, they were like banshees, existing on another plane of reality that only bled into ours during the witching hour.

But the animal that crossed my path that evening was undeniably there.

With its long legs, large head and dense gray coat, it looked like an impossible creature: an Eastern wolf, unseen in these woods for more than a century. But at a second glance, the nose was sharper

and the body, though large, wasn’t wolfsize. So, what was it?

II. A story One day, Coyote was hungry, so he went to visit his brother Kingfisher.

“Do you have anything to eat?” asked Coyote. “I am hungry.”

Kingfisher didn’t like Coyote’s rude way of speaking. Nevertheless, Kingfisher sent his son to cut three willow sticks, and heat them up over the fire until they were strong. Kingfisher placed the sticks in his belt, flew up to the roof of his lodge, then out over the frozen river and into a hole in the ice.

When he emerged, there was a fish on each stick.

Coyote ate his fill and saved some to bring home to his wife and children.

“You must come visit me tomorrow and I will feed you in turn,” said Coyote.

Kingfisher didn’t really want to visit Coyote, but he agreed. The next day, when Kingfisher arrived, Coyote called to his son and had him fetch three willow sticks and heat them up. Coyote put the warm sticks in his belt and climbed to the top of his lodge and leaped from the roof toward a hole in the ice, missing it and breaking his neck.

Kingfisher sighed and flew over to the place Coyote lay, took the sticks from Coyote’s belt and dove into the water.

When he emerged, he had many fish. He stepped over Coyote’s body four times and Coyote came back to life.

“That’s my way, Coyote, not your way,” he said. “I do not imitate others like you do.”

With that, Kingfisher flew away, leaving the fish flopping in a heap at Coyote’s feet.

A dog wouldn’t look at a human speeding his way with cool indifference.

he coyote is the most American of canines. All members of that family, including wolves, dogs, foxes and raccoon dogs, descend from a common North American ancestor. The difference is that their evolutionary path included time in Eurasia. The coyote never left. The gray wolf, for example, evolved into a large, highly social predator of large hoofed mammals on the Asian steppes, returning to North America only 20,000 years ago. When the first Europeans ventured into the old-growth forests of the East Coast and heard the wolf ’s howl, they may have felt a chill run up their spines, but it was a familiar chill. Thousands of years of living together embedded the wolf in the European mind through mythology, folktales and idioms. Romulus and Remus. Little Red Riding Hood. The wolf at the door.

When Lewis and Clarke encountered the coyote as their route through the Eastern forest opened into the Great Plains, they thought it was some type of fox. They eventually settled on “Priari Wolf ” (prairie wolf ), a name that was still heard in the West through the first half of the 20th century. “Coyote” comes from the Aztec coyotl via Spanish. Mark Twain popularized the name and established the animal’s bad reputation in 1872’s Roughing It. The timing is important: The South was beaten and the West was next. The mythic age of the pioneers was ending; out with the mountain men and in with the ranchers; out with the buffalo and in with the steer. There was no room for predators; all would be exterminated.

Wolves may have been a more prolific killer of livestock, but there was a certain respect for the charismatic wolf. There was no love lost for the cowardly coyote. In the end, it didn’t matter what we thought of either; both were shot and poisoned with equal verve by ranchers and the federal government. Actually, we used a quality in wolves we find naturally appealing – their sociability – against them, baiting traps with the scent of their recently killed pack members.

It was, to put it mildly, a different time. People weren’t conscious of the interdependence of nature; they thought if an animal was causing trouble, then removing every individual was a logical

response. Even the Hudson Valley’s own John Burroughs, the naturalist who went into nature to be “soothed and healed” and to have his “senses put in order,” wrote that predators “certainly needed killing” and “the fewer of these there are, the better for the useful and beautiful game.”

By the 1920s, the gray wolf was all but wiped out in the Lower 48.

But not the coyote.

Despite annually killing 30,000 (confirmed) and perhaps another 100,000 whose bodies were never found, there seemed to be no way for us to reduce their numbers. One reason for their resilience lay in their evolution as second-dog to the wolf. Wolves mercilessly kill coyotes as competitors, and coyotes have reacted accordingly with social and reproductive flexibility. The more coyotes killed, the larger the litters in the next generation.

“The coyote’s yipping howl, known around the world as the iconic music of wild North America, has several functions, one very important one of which is to assess the size of the surrounding coyote population,” writes Dan Flores in Coyote America. “In the face of persecution that thins their numbers, they respond with whopping litters with high pup survivability.” (Indeed, the species takes its name from these vocalizations: Canis latrans means “barking dog.”)

Flores also writes of the coyote’s flexible social ties, which he calls “fissionfusion.” While wolves live in stable packs with a single breeding pair and their grown offspring, coyotes are capable

of working alone, in pairs or in larger groups, as the circumstances allow.

When the knives are out, whether from humans or wolves, coyotes scatter. If the harassment is consistent enough, they go into “colonization mode” and begin exploring new areas. When they go after big game – the opportunities for which expanded dramatically after the wolf was removed from the ecosystem – they combine into ad hoc packs.

The killing of coyotes hasn’t stopped. Though naturalists insist it’s all but futile to try to reduce coyote numbers, it’s estimated that 400,000 are still killed each year in the US, mostly in the West. If the coyote historians were to tally the body count, this would be an atrocity. But for the species, our attempt to control nature has been a boon. It has led to the removal of the wolf without hurting coyote numbers, and pushed the coyote to colonize new areas it never would have otherwise.

Until the late 19th century, coyotes were an animal of the open grasslands and prairie. The combination of an unbroken forest environment and the presence of large predators (not only wolves, but also cougars and bobcats) prevented coyotes from moving east until the arrival of European settlers, who tamed the wilderness by clearing the woodlands for farms and exterminating animals that posed a threat to livestock and people. In

The first coyote was seen in northern New York State in 1919.

Eighty years later, a coyote made it to the Bronx. Today, the DEC estimates that there are 14,500 breeding pairs across the state.

the process, they created a habitat more suitable for the coyote and opened up a niche for a mid-to-large-sized predator.

Nature abhors a vacuum.

IV. The hybrid here’s a common belief that only members of the same species can produce fertile offspring. Most individuals of different species can’t reproduce, and have no interest in reproducing; and those who do, like horses and donkeys, produce sterile progeny. But there are many exceptions to this, and the Canis family is one of them. Wolves, coyotes, jackals, domestic dogs and dingoes can all produce hybrids.

Numbers vary depending on location and type of test, but in general, Eastern coyotes have a lot more wolf and domestic dog genes than their Western counterparts. According to coyote biologist Roland Kays, a research associate professor at North Carolina State University, coyotes in the Northeast “are mostly (60 to 84 percent) coyote, with lesser amounts of wolf (eight to 25 percent) and dog (eight to 11 percent).” It’s believed that interbreeding with wolves occurred as Western coyotes made their

T

way across Canada. Coyotes and wolves aren’t normally friendly, but interbreeding is more likely when the populations of both species are low – as are the wolf ’s generally, and among coyotes pioneering a new territory. Because the wolf genes conferred offspring with greater adaptive fitness for the deer-filled forests of the East, they were more likely to be passed down to succeeding generations, which reinforced those qualities without requiring continuous interbreeding.

Thanks to this mixed parentage, the Eastern coyote goes by many names.

Many of us grew up being told that the yips and yaps we heard at night came from “coydogs,” though it’s doubtful dogs

ever made up more than a small amount of coyote DNA. Lately the new name is “coywolf.”

One person you won’t hear using that name is Kays. He argues that, although the Eastern coyote has, on average, a significant amount of wolf ancestry, it’s premature to label it a separate species because of wide variability. Individuals in the same area may have a large amount of wolf genes or none. “In other words, there is no single new genetic entity that should be considered a unique species,” writes Kays. “Instead, we are finding a large intermixing population of coyotes across the continent, with a smattering of noncoyote DNA mixed in to varying degrees along the eastern edge. The coywolf is not a thing.”

Jonathan Way, founder of Eastern Coyote/Coywolf Research and another coyote biologist, disagrees. Eastern coyotes occupy a different niche, have a larger range and are more social than their Western counterparts. His studies, together with William Lay, have found Eastern coyotes’ genetics to be about 60/30/10 coyote/wolf/dog. If 40 percent of the animal’s ancestry is non-coyote, argues Way, a new species is in order. He suggests Canisoriens, “Eastern canid,” though he’s cool with coywolf in English, because it gives due credit to the influence of the Eastern wolf. “In one word, coywolf quite accurately summarizes the main components of this animal’s background,” writes Way. “Other species have far more names. For instance, cougars (Puma concolor) are also called mountain lions, pumas, catamounts and panthers, among dozens of other local names. To use the terms ‘Eastern coyote’ (or Northeastern coyote) and ‘coywolf ’ as synonyms seems highly valid to me.”

Whether it’s a distinct species or not, we’re not only watching evolution unfold in front of our eyes; we’re also playing an active role and shaping it.

V. In our backyard What can we say about coyotes in the Hudson Valley? Unfortunately, there’s been no study that focused specifically on our local population, so we’re restricted to anecdotes and general observations that would be true for Eastern coyotes in similar areas across the Northeast. Our local coyote is quite a bit different from the Western coyote. It’s larger, 35 to 50 pounds versus 20 to 30 pounds, with a thicker coat, less pointed nose, larger skull and stronger muscles and tendons around the jaw. Size and color are more variable as well, due to their mixed ancestry.

later, a coyote made it to the Bronx.

Today, the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) estimates that there are 14,500 breeding pairs across the state.

Coyotes arrived in the Hudson Valley in the ’60s and ’70s. Michael Fargione, field research and outdoor programs manager at the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies in Millbrook, said that coyotes were first noticed on the Institute’s property in the late ’70s and early ’80s. Their numbers have increased since then and are relatively stable now.

What do they eat? “I think they are opportunists, and so they feed on what they can readily obtain, whether it be mice, squirrels, possums, raccoons, rabbits, carrion, road-kill, birds, birds eggs,” said Fargione. “They feed on a significant amount of vegetation...

Sometimes they’re feeding on berries.

Other times they’re consuming some kind of vegetation, whether it be grasses or reeds or something like that, tubers maybe.”

The Eastern coyote’s larger size also allows it to prey on white-tailed deer.

Hunters talk about the coyote’s ability to smell a newborn fawn from miles away,

and the resulting dips in deer population when coyotes are more numerous. They’re capable of taking down healthy adult deer, but Fargione says that they generally need very deep snow like that found in the Adirondacks to hamper their prey.

T here are up-sides to fewer deer, says Joshua Ginsburg, president of the Cary Institute.

Deer feed on the f o r e s t ’s understory. As the deer population is reduced, the forest changes and the ecosystem becomes more diverse. You get more oak trees, for example, which support a wide variety of animals, especially during mast years when all oak trees in an area shed their acorns simultaneously. Fewer deer also mean fewer road accidents, which can be deadly for motorists and deer alike. “The simplification of the ecosystem leads towards both less stability, but also, even more importantly, we know that these complex ecosystems are healthier for humans,” said Ginsburg. “In the Hudson Valley, where we have a diversity of predators and prey, we have less Lyme disease, because you get a diversity of predators eating mice and chipmunks, and those things drive tick cycles more

than deer do.”

Ginsburg is describing a more filled-out ecosystem. But in the meantime, as coyote populations increase, other studies from the Cary Institute have found that their effect on Lyme might go the other way.

Here’s why: Coyotes tend to push foxes out of an area. Foxes kill many more small rodents than do coyotes, so more coyotes could mean more mice and chipmunks.

Because mice and chipmunks are the best reservoirs for the Lyme-causing bacteria transported by ticks, more coyotes in an area could help increase cases of Lyme disease in humans.

Though coyotes usually avoid us, that’s beginning to change, especially in more populated areas where people are less likely to shoot at them. As a result, coyotes are willing to live closer to humans. We don’t have much reason to fear coyotes, but our pets do. “The concept of living in the country is that you can let your dog outside. But we didn’t expect we would live in an area with animals as violent as coyotes,” said one man who moved from Manhattan to Westchester in a 2015 New York Times article about brash coyotes attacking pets.

This spring, a coyote (or coyotes) killed two dogs and attacked another off Springtown Road in New Paltz. In a New Paltz Times article, resident Jennifer Ippolito described seeing “a large canine predator” carry off one of her Maltese dogs.

She chased after it in vain and returned to find her other Maltese missing. She reported it to the DEC, who told her it was likely a coyote, but she said that it “looked more like a wolf.” Four days later, Ippolito said she saw another probable coyote stalk and attack a 30-pound dog in the same area. She said she blew her horn and threw rocks at the predator until the woman and her dog could take refuge in Ippolito’s car.

Coyotes are known to become more aggressive in spring, which is their breeding season. The DEC issued a permit to “haze” the offending coyotes by shooting them with rubber bullets, with the aim of compelling them to move their den to a less populated area, but was unable to locate a den near where Ippolito’s dogs were killed.

The 8,000-acre Mohonk Preserve is near the area where the alleged coyote attacks occurred. Elizabeth Long, director of conservation science at the Preserve, said that coyotes are more often heard than seen. They frequent the more outof-the-way parts of the preserve, like the foothills on the eastern side of the Shawangunk Ridge. Visitors who spot coyotes are often surprised by their large size.

“We definitely get reports and pictures sent to us describing coyotes that folks are positive are wolves,” said Long. “I lived in the West for several years, and I will say that most of the coyotes I see here are larger than the ones that I used to see out West; but they’re certainly coyotes and not wolves.”

VI. The mirror “The coyote might be considered part of the same central stock of unspecialized canids that has formed the basis of the evolution of the family [Canidae]…These small animals seem to have maintained themselves with relatively little change, while the canids that became large, and specialized in habits, have disappeared.

The [prehistoric] bear-dogs…, the hyenadogs…and the great dire wolf…have all fallen by the wayside. Now even the gray and red wolves may be moving in this same direction, but the coyote shows no sign of being a has-been.”

Millions of years of dominion have filled them with selfconfidence. Sapiens by contrast is more like a banana republic dictator. Having so recently been one of the underdogs of the savannah, we are full of fears and anxieties over our position, which makes us doubly cruel and dangerous.

e noted that the first Europeans who came to North America were familiar with wolves, but didn’t see coyotes until they made it to the prairie. The same goes for the first peoples. They also would have been familiar with the wolf from Asia, and

would have no doubt incorporated it into their legend, religion and folklore; and they too had to journey for hundreds of miles on the new continent, likely over hundreds of years, before encountering the coyote. While the Europeans viewed the animal as repugnant and tried to wipe it out, the Native Americans made it a god. The trickster deity Coyote appears in hundreds of Native American stories. In its ability to inspire creative taletelling, no other deity comes close. Why were Native Americans so fascinated by the coyote?

Maybe they saw something of themselves in this clever, adaptable but physically middling canine. The most obviously impressive North American megafauna all went extinct at the end of the last Ice Age, around the same time that the first tribes crossed Beringia.

Climate change and hunting both played a role. The first peoples of North America would have seen it unfold, and learned the lesson: The bigger they come, the harder they fall.

Coyote in “The Bungling Host” has “no way.” He’s not a born fisherman, and his attempt to mimic Kingfisher is a farce. But things don’t always go so badly for Coyote.

In other stories (and there are many), he’s able to bed the chief ’s daughter, bring light, bring death (which makes the time given to us more precious) and give people access to water from parsimonious frogs who’d been hoarding it for themselves.

Sometimes his mimicry works. Like Coyote, man isn’t a born fisherman. We’re embarrassingly slow in the water and can hold our breath for only a couple of minutes at most. We’d make poor spiders, too, being unable to generate silken cables naturally from our posterior and weave them into a beautiful trap to ensnare our dinner without ever being given so much as a lesson. Yet today, we can move over the water faster than any creature that ever lived and are so good at trapping fish in webs that we have to exercise self-restraint lest we remove them all. “Having no way, [Coyote] is free of the trap of instinct, both ‘stupider than the animals’ and more versatile than any,” writes Lewis Hyde.

Coyotes cooperate when it suits them, but they spend most of their time with their nuclear family. We’re similar, though we take things quite a bit further. Humans rule the world because of our unparalleled ability to cooperate, which extends beyond friends and co-workers to millions of members of our species whom we will never meet, but with whom we cooperate through the shared belief in artificial constructions like money, the rule of law and the United States of America. We’ve certainly got coyotes beat there.

The domestic dog is descended from the wolf. Wildlife biologists who hold that the Eastern coyote should be a different species sometimes mention this to support their case, suggesting that it might

In general, Eastern coyotes have a lot more wolf and domestic dog genes than their Western counterparts.

make sense to count the dog portion of their ancestry as wolf. We were able to domesticate the wolf because of its social instincts. That doesn’t work with coyotes.

Sure, a coyote pup may seem playful and affectionate; but once it hits puberty, it will get nervous and bitey. It will reject you. Something isn’t right; it doesn’t feel secure.

Humans, aside from a few disagreeable years in adolescence, don’t have that problem. We’re naturally social. But we do have that default insecurity about our place in the world.

Today, coyotes are the dominant wild predator across much of North America.

Their rise to this status was more precipitous than our own. Neither of us is as comfortable or charismatic as the majestic lion or imperturbable elephant.

For the most part, coyotes steer clear of us.

Hiking in the Hudson Valley, you regularly come upon and startle deer in close proximity. When they run away, they usually only go for 50 yards or so before turning around to see if you’re chasing.

If not, they’ll go back to feeding. Coyotes don’t risk it. If they scent you, that’s it.

Their anxieties have served them well.

Ours? Too soon to tell.

MUSIC Never say Neverland Leonard Bernstein’s rarely performed Peter Pan opens Bard Summerscape festival

I

t’s time for Bard SummerScape, the big little arts festival in the middle of the country that lures sophisticates out of the Big Apple and onto Metro North to experience the season’s hottest (and often times most unusual) cultural moments. It gets underway on June 29 and runs through August 19. Here’s an overview of some highlights to whet your appetite.

SummerScape typically ge ts underway with a major dance performance, but this year is a little different on account of 2018 being the centennial of Leonard Bernstein’s birth.

Bard is celebrating by unveiling a new production of Bernstein’s score for Peter Pan. This isn’t the famous 1954 Broadway musical we’re talking about, but an adaptation of J. M. Barrie’s play that debuted in 1950, ran for 321 performances and has very rarely been revived since.

Bernstein wrote the lyrics of the nine songs, as well as the music.

Adapted and directed by Christopher Alden, the SummerScape production features choreography by Jack Ferver, orchestrations by Garth Edwin Sunderland, music direction by Michael A. Ferrara, scenic design (including a working 1950s carnival ride onstage) by Marsha Ginsberg, costume design by Terese Wadden,

lighting design by JAX Messenger and sound design by Stowe Nelson. The cast includes Jack Ferver, Rona Figueroa, Erin Markey, William Michals and Peter Smith. Smith and Markey, who play Peter and Wendy respectively, are both trans performers, which should add an interesting metaphorical dimension to this beloved tale of magically extended prepubescence.

Bernstein’s Peter Pan has its soft opening in the Fisher Center’s black-box LUMA Theater on June 28 and “officially” opens on July 6, with shows on June 29/30, July 1, 4/5, 7/8, 11-15 and 18-22. Curtain times vary with day of the week, and ticket prices start at $25.

Another big anniversary happening this year is the 75th of T. S. Eliot’s Modernist poetry masterpiece, the Four Quartets, a work suffused with dance-related imagery. Bard decided to celebrate this landmark by commissioning a brandnew interdisciplinary dance work, with choreography by Pam Tanowitz, music by Kaija Saariaho and painted backdrops by Brice Marden. The performance features nine members of the Pam Tanowitz Dance company, with a complete narration of Eliot’s poem cycle by actress Kathleen Chalfant. Saariaho’s music will be performed live by four members of the Knights. This world premiere will be performed three times, from July 6 to 8, in the Fisher Center’s Sosnoff Theater.

This year’s SummerScape operatic offering will be Anton Rubinstein’s Demon, to be presented in the Sosnoff Theater on July 27 and 29 and August 1, 3 and 5. “RimskyKorsakov and His World” is the theme of the 29th annual Bard Music Festival, with Weekend One, August 10 to 12, devoted to “Inventing Russian Music: The Mighty Five” and Weekend Two, August 17 to 19, examining “Rimsky-Korsakov and His Followers.” Almanac will give you more on those when the dates get closer.

MUSIC

Bard plumbs the depths of “Rimsky-Korsakov and His World”

B

ard SummerScape 2018 is as rich, diverse, substantive and positively grueling as usual: a brilliant ragout of interrelated music, theater and dance, film, intellectual discourse and high, serious fun in multiple venues overlooking the Hudson from Annandale. The centerpiece of SummerScape is always the “…and His World” series of concert events, which explore the work of one historically significant composer in the context of tradition; their contemporaries, followers and challengers; the artistic and cultural milieu in which they operated; the political and national currents that inform the work, the musical innovations for which they were responsible.

The 360-degree, cross-disciplinary nature of inquiry at SummerScape Portrait of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov by Valentin Serov inclines the curators toward composers who lived in fractious and interesting times: more to work with, more meaning to tap. Fortunately, that includes operatic programs – two of which feature the American Symphony Orchestra under most of them. This year, Bard turns its lens on Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. The late-19thLeon Botstein – supplemented by panel discussions and special events (August 10 century Russian composer is known to popular audiences mostly for the orchestral through 12 and 17 through 19). Rounding out the festival that The New York Times calls a “hotbed of intellectual and aesthetic adventure” is a film series exploring suite Scheherazade and to a lesser extent for the Russian Easter Festival Orchestra.

A member of the circle “Rimsky-Korsakov and the Poetry of Cinema” (July 26 through August 19).

SummerScape is always far more than the “…and His World” program. Other of nationalistic Russian SummerScape highlights include a rare, new, fully staged American production composers known as the of Anton Rubinstein’s grand opera Demon, from European Opera Prize-winning Five, Rimsky-Korsakov’s director Thaddeus Strassberger (July 27 through August 5); the world premiere influence transcends the popularity of his work. He of Four Quartets, an interdisciplinary new dance commission from choreographer was a master orchestrater Pam Tanowitz, composer Kaija Saariaho and visual artist Brice Marden, which who wrote books on the marks the 75th anniversary of the publication of T. S. Eliot’s iconic cycle of poems subject that were a direct (July 6 through 8); and a dark new take on Leonard Bernstein’s rarely performed influence upon Maurice gem Peter Pan, commissioned from Olivier Award-winning director Christopher Ravel, among others.

NIGHT SKY

Fourth of July planets Parade of worlds in evening twilight

f it’s clear on Independence Day, the same scene will be repeated around the country: Crowds will gather as twilight deepens, awaiting darkness and the start of the fireworks. It’s the annual occasion when the most people are gazing idly up at the sky. This year it’s a special opportunity.

Figure enough darkness will have fallen for the fireworks to start at around 9:30 p.m., though some communities wait until 10.

Either way, you can do some fascinating skywatching beginning at around 9:15.

Start by looking in the direction of the sunset, meaning west or a bit north of west.

Venus will instantly grab your attention.

It’s the brightest thing in the sky at that time. Point it out to everyone you’re with.

But now let’s get serious: If you’re at a venue with a clear, unblocked view all the way down to the western horizon, look to the lower right of Venus. If you see any star there, much closer to the horizon, you’ve found Mercury. This is cool all by itself, for even the great Copernicus supposedly never once saw Mercury in his entire life. And don’t be insecure about your observation.

Any reasonably bright “star” to the lower right of Venus is Mercury, because there’s nothing else there.

Now face Venus again, while raising your left arm so that it points straight out and about a third of the way up the southern sky. Bingo: There’s the second-brightest “star” in the sky. This is Jupiter. If you’ve brought binoculars with you, hold them steady and look for Jupiter’s four little moons. Also notice the little star to the lower left of Jupiter. Binoculars transform this star into a lovely double; and now you’ve observed the fascinating alpha star of Libra, named Zubenelgenubi. Say it three times fast.

Next step: Look at the sky opposite to Venus, meaning the southeast. There’s only one bright star in that direction, and it’s about the same height that Venus is. This is Saturn.

Before the fireworks, you’ve shown your companions Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, Alpha Librae and Saturn.

Not a bad haul.

It’s the annual occasion when the most people are gazing idly up at the sky. This year it’s a special opportunity.

But you need a telescope and at least 30x magnification to see its famous rings.

To review: In the 9:15-to-9:30 p.m. timeframe, you’ve shown your companions Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, Alpha Librae and Saturn. Not a bad haul. If you feel incomplete because you only observed four of the five classic bright planets, simply look in the direction of Saturn after 11 p.m. Suddenly, the low eastern sky will offer an orange brilliant star every bit as bright as Jupiter. And now you’ve previewed Mars, which will light up the sky all summer.

So, what’s there to do before the fireworks begin? Plenty!

handful of others; but Hood and the other songwriters in the Drive-by Truckers scene continue to release vital and heavy music: populist in sound, but epic and ambitious in lyrical scope, as evidenced by such high-concept works as 2001’s Southern Rock Opera and 2008’s epic Brighter than Creation’s Dark, and no fewer than six releases since.

by Patterson Hood (son of legendary Muscle Shoals session musician David Hood, who also toured and recorded with Traffic), the Drive-by Truckers have been, from the start, a multisongwriter band almost approaching the status of a collective, like a downhome, sh*t-kicking Broken Social Scene or something.

Right now, Truckers alum Jason Isbell – who left on good terms over the simple issue of songwriting bandwidth and who still sits in on occasion – sits on top of the mountain of current traditional roots songwriters with Sturgill Simpson and a

NATURE

BEGINNER-FRIENDLY CHODIKEE LAKE/BLACK CREEK KAYAK TOUR ON SATURDAY

W

hat do you mean, you haven’t taken up kayaking yet? What are you waiting for? It’s every bit as much fun as it looks – a great way to explore, get up-close-and-personal with nature and tone your upper body at the same time.

Before you invest in your own human-powered watercraft, it’s wise to try out different kinds of kayaks in different environments, so you know what sort of design to seek out. Whitewater kayaks need to be short for tight turns, sea kayaks long for traversing distances and high-prowed for weathering waves and currents.

(If the turbulent Hudson is your target playground, you’re safest with a sea kayak.)

Flatwater, like lakes and gentle rivers, tolerates less fancy engineering. A large cockpit looks like it’s easier to get in and out, and is a popular choice for playing around in the surf; but the paddler sacrifices control, being less able to steer the boat via direct contact with hips and thighs. The considerations are many, and the pricetags for a well-designed boat can run high enough to warrant some experiential research.

An excellent way to test the waters, so to speak, is to join a group paddle offering rental kayaks and other essential gear supplied by an outfitter. New Paltz Kayaking Tours, a company that also equips paddlers to cruise the Wallkill River, will be providing boats for a family-friendly beginners’ expedition on Saturday morning, organized by the Town of Lloyd Environmental Conservation Council.

Equipment rental only costs $10, so it’s a terrific, affordable opportunity to give this popular recreational activity a try. Outfitter Craig Chapman will offer basic instruction and lead the tour.

Another incentive to join this tour is the glorious destination, among the most enticing local paddling haunts: Chodikee Lake and Black Creek. The lovely 63acre lake on the outskirts of Highland is a popular fishing destination, and big enough for a group of 20 novice kayakers and canoeists to spend a couple of hours honing their strokes and steering moves without danger of collisions. It is both fed and drained by Black Creek, the stream beloved of famed 19th-century naturalist John Burroughs. Paddlers who are ready to try something a little more challenging than the lake itself can head downstream, exploring a wetland ecosystem that’s home to plenty of wildlife, including turtles, waterfowl and a huge heron rookery. There you’ll likely also learn by necessity how to back out of a tangle of water plants or deadfall, and how to turn your boat around when the channel starts getting too narrow.

Participants will meet at 9:30 a.m. on June 30 at the Chodikee Lake boat launch, where you’ll be fitted for your Personal Flotation Device and get a lesson in the basics of paddling. The tour is scheduled to start at 10 a.m. and should last one to two hours. The group is limited to 20 people, and the outfitter will need to know in advance how many children will be needing kid-sized lifejackets, so don’t wait long to register! Reserve your spot by e-mailing ecc@townoflloyd.com, and call Neil Curri with any questions at (845) 664-2100.

Ice Cream Social at Boscobel in Garrison

Tillson’s Rail Trail Café hosts Playback Theatre

You know the expression, “What’s old is new again”? Take, for example ice cream: vanilla, chocolate and ice creamed oyster (I’m absolutely serious). This Saturday, June 30 from 12 to 3 p.m., Boscobel is bringing “flavor” back, just like Justin Timberlake, to the way they used to be in the 1700s.

Because, why not? Apparently, presidents thought this was all the rage.

You think you’ll get an opportunity like this again? Exactly!

You’ll also be able to play 19th-century lawn games and independently tour the historic mansion. (Can you find the false banister? How about the chamber pot in each bedroom?) Admission costs $22 for adults, $13 for children and is free for children under 5 years of age. Boscobel is located at 1601 Route 9D in Garrison.

For tickets or more information, call (845) 265-3638 or visit www.boscobel. org/events/ice-cream-social.

I think Hudson River Playback Theatre is already superb; what could make it better? Check this out! On Saturday, June 30, join this terrific troupe for Under the Tall Trees outside at the Rail Trail Café! The theme is sharing audience memories from the natural world across the ages.

From there, we witness the power of story transform our personal words to a universal language and connection to each other.

Admission is free, but bring a few bucks to throw in the hat. The Rail Trail Café is located at 310 River Road Extension in Tillson. For more information, visit www. facebook.com/events/2088224611435053 or http://hudsonriverplayback.org.

ALMANAC WEEKLY ERICA'S CANCER JOURNEY

You ask, I answer: Cancer as a blessing?

“God is a comedian playing to an audience too afraid to laugh.”

– Voltaire

You ask: Thank you so much for the June 7 column in which you tell us “25 Things about You.” I thoroughly enjoyed reading and discussing it with my girlfriend. We were curious about Number 23. What do you mean that “Cancer has been one of the biggest blessings of your entire life”?

I answer: Thanks for reading, and thanks for the question.

I have experienced the gift of empowerment since encountering this “worstcase scenario,” or “a terrible tragedy,” according to many people. Cancer was never going to happen to me: no family history, excellent health, good diet, ample exercise, no antiperspirants et cetera et cetera. My out-of-the-blue diagnosis gives me the incredible opportunity to choose how to react, the gift to face head-on the thing I most feared: death. Now my mortality is in real, not abstract terms. The lifting of the veil of predictability as “safe,” constant and reliable in my life yields to the Unknown as now-familiar terrain.

It’s my daily, my future. I’ve received insights and visions into death, which are consistently presented to me as completely neutral. The end of my mortal coil is not up to my own personal preference of timing. It’s totally out of my hands. What can possibly scare me anymore? Knowing death is coming enriches my life!

Stage IV metastatic cancer is terminal. It doesn’t get “cured” like the other, lower stages. As a result, it gets my highest respect. It’s pure in its impersonal intent to take over anywhere in my body it can. So I don’t have to waste time in approaching it as healed, or deciding among several treatment options, or wondering if it’s punitive payback for tripping my brother when I was 4. I feel chosen for this path. Just that in itself is a huge gift.

I have received a new level of understanding of how I am loved in my world. I have made new, deep, important relationships as a direct result of my diagnosis. I have made better, clearer and more thoughtful choices for myself and my future. I have been gifted with the opportunity to share what I’m experiencing in the public realm. I’ve been on trips I never could have otherwise manifested for my family and me. I’ve seen Hamilton.

I have always had an innate interest and comfort level with death and dying. I have

Awareness of my limited heartbeats strengthens my resolve to do the work to heal the brokenness in my life now, instead of holding out for passive change or waiting for the other person to be different.

grown from the knowledge that no one can convince me of anything, so I no longer try to convince others, but rather help them to hear themselves. Awareness of my limited heartbeats strengthens my resolve to do the work to heal the brokenness in my life now, instead of holding out for passive change or waiting for the other person to be different. I have encountered extreme levels of wrenching physical and emotional pain that were previously unimaginable to me. I have been humbled by the stripping of various abilities, such as driving (still a challenge for me – I hate that loss of independence). The amount of love and compassion this has afforded to my own body and even more to others is priceless. I have made endof-life plans and decisions I would never have bothered with otherwise. I can’t control my outcome, but my loved ones are aware of my wishes.

I lived a full life well Erica with a snake at Forsyth Nature Center before cancer and still do. I have always had a spiritual connection to the world. This cancer journey has given me a chance, an excuse, a strong motivation to go well beyond those levels. And when I get stuck, I inevitably receive support and scaffolding along the way. If I were the only person to die, that would suck. But I’ve been awakened to the gift of awareness that my life will be shorter than expected. Some never get the warning. I have less time here than anticipated, but I have been given an awareness of my time: to plan, to heal some hard parts, to live.

All of that said, I will also never, ever, pressure anyone else to have a cancer experience like mine. Each life is our own. I couldn’t arrive here without evolving, myself.

I invite families to inquire about end-of-life desires and preferences with each other. One great resource that I find helpful to spark conversations is this great booklet: short, simple, easy, and people can direct their feelings at the booklet versus the other people in the conversation: http://deathcaredirective.com.

ALMANAC WEEKLY

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

Junebearing strawberries now at their peak

E

very day, for some time now, my strawberry bed has yielded about five cups, or almost two pounds, of strawberries daily. And that from a bed only ten feet long and three feet wide, with a double row of plants set a foot apart in the row.

Good yield from a strawberry bed has nothing to do with green thumbs. I just did what’s required to keep the plants happy and healthy – to wit: I planted the bed last spring to replace my five-year-old bed. Five years is about how long it takes for a strawberry bed to peter out due to inroads of weeds and diseases, including some viruses whose symptoms are not all that evident.

To keep my new plants removed from any problems lurking in the old soil, I located the new bed in a different place from the old one. Further forestalling problems, plants came not from a generous neighbor and not from my old bed, but from a nursery selling “certified disease-free” plants.

I chose to grow them in a “spaced plant” system (which does not involve getting plants high, ha ha) but allows each plant a square foot of space. Throughout the growing season, I clipped off any runners and daughter plants attempting to establish themselves and crowd into the mother plant’s space.

Other growing systems allow for runners, which makes for more economical planting of a bed but reduced initial yield. Given free rein, though, new plants eventually become the worst weed in any strawberry bed; they must be dealt with in some way.

Did I mention that the new bed, like the old one, was in the vegetable garden, where the soil is rich in nutrients and organic matter, with plants’ thirst quenched daily via drip irrigation?

In late December, when the ground had frozen about an inch deep, plants were snuggled beneath mulch as protection from winter cold. Straw, pine needles, wood shavings: Any loose organic material will do.

Come spring, just as soon as plants began to awaken, I pulled back new growth beneath the mulch and tucked it under the plants’ leaves. I also trimmed off any dead leaves. The new job for the mulch was then to keep the soil moist and the soon-to-form ripening berries clean of soil.

That’s it, for all those berries, fresh-picked every morning – every morning for a little while longer, that is. I planted a “Junebearing” variety of strawberry, Earliglow, known for earliness and good flavor, but bearing only for a few weeks in June. Other varieties – so-called “everbearing” and “day-neutral” varieties – bear repeatedly through the season.

Once Earliglow stops bearing for the season, the bed will need renovation and, through the season, its runners pinched off weekly to keep each plant “spacey.”

LEE REICH | ALMANAC WEEKLY

Just as the fresh strawberries fade out for the season, fresh blueberries will begin yielding this season’s bounty; also, at the same time, blackcurrants and red currants.

The fresh strawberries came on the scene on the tails of last year’s frozen blueberries, one of my favorite fruits: perfect. The loss of frozen blueberries is softened by the freshness of the strawberries.

And, just as the fresh strawberries fade out for the season, fresh blueberries will begin yielding this season’s bounty; also, at the same time, blackcurrants and red currants.

And then black raspberries, and then…and on and on.

You might wonder: Why such a relatively small planting of strawberries, and why only Junebearers? This admission may be sacrilege: I’m not a big fan of strawberries. I like the fruit well enough, but mostly because they are the first fresh fruit of the season.

One other fruit does beat out strawberries as the first fruit of the season: They are honeyberries, a kind of edible honeysuckle. Their flavor, thus far, has not impressed me.

Breeding and cultivating honeyberries is in its infancy. They’re perhaps where apple was 2,000 years ago, and the future might bring more flavorful ones.

Back to strawberries: Another of their deficiencies, in my view, is that you have to crawl for the fruit. And, as mentioned previously, although technically perennial, beds should be replanted in a new location every five years or so.

Interested in growing your own blueberries? It’s easy, if you meet their basic needs – all of which, including varieties, harvest and other pressing questions about growing blueberries, will be covered at my upcoming Blueberry-Growing Workshop. The workshop will take place on my New Paltz farmden on Sunday, July 22 from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m., at a cost of $48. Registration is a must.

Instruction

Why newspapers?

Print is dead, right? Wrong. Studies show readers retain more of what they read in print because it’s easier to focus. Fewer distractions. The web is great for breaking news bytes, but our in-depth stories are best consumed in print. We only write about Saugerties, so every issue is bound to contain something you didn’t know about your community. You lose that sense of discovery on the web, where you’re less likely to happen on something you weren’t looking for. And while our website is too primitive for such things, many sites collect browsing data for advertising. Our ads would never be so presumptious. We print on recycled paper when possible, so it’s sustainable—and accessible to those without the Internet or iPads. ULSTER PUBLISHING

And did I mention: Danny Boy is one of the sweetest, most trusting cats you could ever hope to meet? If you’re interested in meeting him at his foster home in Shokan, please email DRJLPK@ aol.com or text/call (917)282-2018. If you’d like a return call, please leave your full name, phone number w/area code and best time to reach you.

“CINNAMON”; 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 didn’t welcome him & he was relegated to the laundry room. Now, he’s at SAS, waiting for a person or people to love him and let him know he is valued and special. He’s almost 11-years old. “MEGHAN”; GORGEOUS LONG HAIR CALICO is a beautiful 1-year old cat girl. She was found in a feral colony (community cats) and clearly didn’t belong. She is now safe and secure at SAS. She’s a quiet girl who needs to know she will never be outside to fend for herself again.“HARRY”; 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. It’s hard to believe that anyone would do that. Harry is on the thin side.

Either he wasn’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
