Historic photos of the Depuy Canal House (D & H Canal Historical Society)
If you’re a serious foodie, the old stone building on the High Falls village green will always be the Depuy Canal House to you – even though, three years ago, world-famed chef John Novi shut down the restaurant operation that he had launched in 1969 and handed the historic structure over to the not-for-profit Delaware & Hudson Canal Historical Society (DCCHS). “I knew 50 years ago what I am doing today,” Novi wrote at the time of the property transfer. “I have always believed that the Depuy House belongs to the community as a public museum securing the history of canal travel and telling the story of the locktenders that lived in the house.” The main part of the stone structure that housed the four-star restaurant, originally an inn, was built by Simeon Depuy in 1797 and sold to the Delaware & Hudson Canal Company during the 1830s for use as offices, a store and overnight accommodations for locktenders and passing canalboat operators. The woodframe wing that housed the restaurant’s kitchen was added later. DCCHS’ acquisition of the building was funded by a $500,000 grant from the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, in partnership with the Open Space Institute. But it has taken some time for the Historical Society to secure additional funding to renovate the building. This month, DCCHS issued a

Olana Summer Market debuts this weekend
T
he first-ever Olana Summer Market will take place at the Olana State Historic Site in Hudson on Saturday and Sunday, August 25 and 26. More than 25 local vendors, workshops and eateries will be parked at Olana, the home and 250-acre landscape designed by 19th-century Hudson River School painter Frederic Church. A variety of pottery, jewelry, woodwork, accessories and housewares from local and regional artisans will be available. Vendors include Tin Can Juicery, PKBrown Woodworking, the Modern Dream, Cheyenne Mallo Pottery, Reclaimed Designs Mosaics, Hester’s Studio, Old Yorke Distillery, Tousey Winery, Grant House Press, the Peach Tree Jewelry and many more. Filling out the afternoons will be live music, food and the natural attractions of the Olana landscape. Hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday. The suggested donation is $5. Olana is located at 5720 Route 9G in Hudson. For more information, visit www.olana.org.
long-awaited announcement: Restoration work is finally underway. The organization has hired Yankee Construction to install a historically appropriate wood shingle roof, supported by a new framing system. The roof work, which should be completed by autumn, represents the first step of an extensive project to preserve this historic structure and prepare it for use as a museum of the D & H Canal’s heyday. The one-story covered porch that parallels Route 213 will be restored to approximate its 19th-century appearance.
“We are delighted work has begun on the Canal House, which signals not only the beginning of the new museum, but a new era for the Historical Society and High Falls, as well,” said DCCHS executive director Jack Braunlein. In addition to interactive exhibits relating to the history of the Canal, the new museum will include a visitor center that will serve as a gateway to the area’s extensive trail systems and numerous tourist attractions. The Gateway Center will feature maps that include trails, historic houses and museums, and will be a source of information about the natural and cultural resources that hikers and area visitors can explore. The beginning of the National Historic Landmark Five Locks Walk, where visitors can view the extant remains of the Canal in High Falls, lies right outside the Canal House’s door. For more information about this ongoing project, visit www.canalmuseum.
The expanding music-tribute market mostly features homages to individual performers and bands, from the musically exacting Fab Faux to the theatrically maximalist Pink Floyd tribute the Machine. But as the trend continues to grow, new twists appear. Consider, for example, Groovin’: Return to the Summers of Love, which comes to the Bearsville Theater in Woodstock on Saturday, August 25 at 9 p.m. Groovin’ recreates the classic late-’60s music of the Mamas & the Papas, Felix Cavaliere, Joe Cocker, Van Morrison, Janis Joplin, Eric Burdon, David Clayton Thomas, Burton Cummings, Carlos Santana, Grace Slick, John Fogerty, Justin Hayward, Jim Morrison and others. This concert benefits the Veterans’ Miracle Center. Tickets cost $20 and $30. For more information, visit www.bearsvilletheater.com. The Bearsville Theater is located at 291 Tinker Street in Woodstock.

B
arbara Plume, vice president of the Mid-Hudson Mycological Association, will lead a group of mushroomhunters as they forage for the often-unseen mushrooms at the John Burroughs Nature Sanctuary (a/k/a Slabsides) in West Park on Saturday, August 25 from 9 to 11 a.m. Neither plant nor animal, fungi include highly-sought-after mushrooms used for cooking, as well as the justifiably feared poisonous ones. This Slabsides program will begin with the essentials of mushroom foraging, as well as a lesson in the etiquette surrounding the practice. Then Plume will take participants out into the woods, revealing the ideal spots and conditions in which varieties of these fungi thrive. Possible mushroom sightings include hen-of-the-woods and black trumpets. Space is limited, so register in advance by e-mailing info@johnburroughsassociation.org to learn what to bring and where to meet. There will be other special programs offered at Slabsides that day, and the famous cabin will be open for tours from noon until 4 o’clock on Saturday as well. At 1 p.m., Rolland Smith will read his naturalistic poetry that reflects on both his life in broadcast journalism and the more subdued side of nature in the Catskill Mountains. There will be refreshments available. At 1:30 p.m., Paul Misko of the Catskill 4000 Club will lead a walk focused on often-overlooked aspects of Slabsides’ history and the newly acquired Ingersoll property that Burroughs sold to his friend Ernest Ingersoll in 1896. The John Burroughs Association brings to life the legacy, writing and natural world of literary naturalist John Burroughs. Visit his rustic cabin Slabsides and hike the trails of the John Burroughs Nature Sanctuary located off Floyd Ackert Road in West Park. For more information, visit www.johnburroughsassociation.org.

any of us still use the term “Third World� on a regular basis to refer to developing countries, and the phrase “First World problems� when we catch ourselves on the downslope toward selfpity. But this method of slicing and dicing our planet’s governmental units is fast becoming obsolete – and not only because what used to be the “Second
World,� the Soviet bloc, has more or less collapsed, or at least morphed into something different and more slippery. There are places long classified as part of the Third World that now have more vigorous economies than much of the socalled First World. One of those is the sovereign city/state of Singapore. Though it’s situated at the tip of the Malay Peninsula, nearly threequarters of its population is Chinese, including most of its wealthiest citizens. Technologically advanced, culturally

As wonderful as it may be to see a lushly budgeted Hollywood feature come out that boasts an all-Asian cast for the first time in 25 years (since The Joy Luck Club in 1993), full of characters who don’ t fit tired “e xotic/ sinister Oriental� or “comical nerdy overachiever� or “kung fu avenger� tropes, Crazy Rich Asians doesn’t qualify as any sort of groundbreaking vehicle of social realism.

The heroine, Rachel Chu (Constance Wu), daughter of an immigrant single mom who’s the only person in the story who can’t be called affluent, teaches Economics (specializing, significantly to the plot, in Game Theory) at NYU. When we meet Rachel she is already involved in a fairytale romance with Mr. Perfect, an impossibly handsome and nice fellow professor named Nick Yo u n g (Henry Golding).

ostalgic for the days when the Catskills were the vacation destination of choice for families from New York City, before air travel became affordable to the masses? Or perhaps your collective cultural memory only extends back as far as iconic movies of the ’80s. Either way, a treat is in store for you at Greig Farm on Friday, August 31, when Upstate Films sponsors an outdoor screening of Emile Ardolino’s musical/love story Dirty Dancing. Set at a Catskills resort in 1963, the hit film stars Jennifer Grey as Frances “Baby” Houseman, who defies her bourgeois family to team up with mambo instructor Johnny Castle (Patrick Swayze). The screening begins at dusk, but attendees are encouraged to picnic on the grounds beforehand. The Papa’s Best Batch Airstream food truck will be on hand to purvey its home-smoked edibles. Admission costs $10, $9 for seniors and students, $8 for Upstate Films members and kids under age 16. Tickets can be purchased online at https://upstatefilms.org/dirty-dancing in advance or at the gate. Greig Farm is located at 243 Pitcher Lane in Red Hook.
pitted against a lot of very judgmental people, including his Dragon Lady mother, Eleanor (a magnificently icy Michelle Yeoh) and a gaggle of jealous young female rivals, every one of them filthy rich. Fortunately, Rachel is tough and resourceful. One of those resources is her loyal and sarcastic best friend from college, Peik Lin, who is living back with her own tackily nouveau-riche family in Singapore. Comic actor Ken Jeong gets a sprightly turn as Peik Lin’s dorky dad, and rapper Awkwafina – lately impressive as the genius pickpocket Constance in Ocean’s 8 – steals every scene she’s in as Peik Lin. But most of the humor in Crazy Rich Asians is supplied by scenes of over-thetop opulence among the bored super-rich that sometimes rival The Wolf of Wall Street for wasteful decadence. Visually, this story provides abundant opportunity for the director to explore places in the Venn diagram where gorgeousness and cheesiness overlap, at parties that look to have been choreographed by Busby Berkeley’s Singaporean cousin. Fans of fashion porn, food porn and travel porn will all find something to delight them here (as will admirers of well-muscled unclothed male torsos). The family drama that drives the narrative comes to life primarily in the scenes where Rachel and Eleanor face off, culminating in a tense, symbolically high-stakes game of mah jongg. There are some fine performances here. But for most of its length, Crazy Rich Asians is an exercise in eye candy.

Puzzle is a quietly engrossing coming-of-age story
Kelly Macdonald and Irrfan Khan star in Puzzle
Coming-of-age stories are, generally speaking, about children on the cusp of adulthood. But there are exceptions to that rule. Marc Turtletaub’s Puzzle focuses on a woman in her 40s and it is, without a doubt, a coming-of-age story. The film’s protagonist is the absurdly dutiful and childlike Agnes, a church-going, techaverse, cookie-baking Connecticut housewife (played by Kelly MacDonald). Although the story is set in today’s world, Agnes is like a fish out of

temporal water. She seems to live in the first half of the 20th century— a meek, dun-colored hybrid of a 1950s homemaker and 1910s kitchen maid. At first, her anachronistic artificiality can be a little off-putting, especially when compared to the naturalistic portraits of her well-meaning but oblivious husband (a sweet David Denman) and her two teenage sons (Bubba Weiler and Austin Abrams). That being said, Agnes’ stylized character works in the context of this movie. Her exaggerated servility and naivete make her eventual transformation into a brave, feisty woman all the more satisfying. And what brings about this great change? A terrible fight? An affair? A near-death experience? Well, weirdly enough, the catalyst for Agnes’ personal journey is a 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzle.

It turns out Agnes enjoys puzzling and has a knack for it. Her interest leads her to New York City and an eccentric puzzle champion/inventor Robert (Irrfan Khan). He’s looking for a puzzle partner. The two quickly strike up a bond, sparking each other’s curiosity and creativity. The bond soon develops into something more. But Puzzle is not just another love story. It is a much more nuanced and complicated tale. Much of the film’s subtlety comes from the two lead actors’ beautiful performances. MacDonald is quietly marvellous as Agnes, a woman slowly coming alive before our eyes. She navigates every stage of Agnes’ evolution with ease, from an incurious, alienated housewife to an outspoken, vibrant woman. It is a performance so good that it seems to be invisible. As Agnes’ puzzle partner, Khan is every bit MacDonald’s equal, though he has a very different sort of part to play. With every languid gesture and witty turn of phrase, Khan pulls Agnes and the audience closer to him. The movie comes alive whenever the puzzle partners are together. After all this talk of “deeper bonds,’’ you might think Puzzle is about the transformative power of passion and love. That assumption is not entirely off base, but it misses the film’s main message. Puzzle is about finding out who you really are, meeting people who remind you of who you can be, and discovering your own path in the world. It is a small story — so small that forgetting to buy groceries becomes a thrilling act of rebellion — but a relatable one. To its credit, Puzzle does not overwhelm its story with unrealistic feel-good flourishes and dramatic puzzle competitions. The film is emotionally true to life in all its complexity, and it doesn’t spoon-feed its audience. During our era of big-budget spectacles and artificially heightened Oscar-bait biopics, Puzzle is a rare and reassuring specimen: a simple tale, told with grace. – Lucia O'Corozine Starting on August 24, Puzzle will be showing at Upstate Films in Rhinebeck and The Moviehouse in Millerton.

On Friday, August 24, the Woodstock Byrdcliffe Guild presents an evening of classical song in its Kleinert/
he sixth annual Summer Hoot at the Ashokan Center boasts an overstuffed lineup of cool music, and one that, per usual, taxes any stable definition of “folk music” to its breaking point. Certainly, Jay Ungar & Molly Mason, who run the joint, will be hand with their profound command of the many streams of Americana; but so too will the storied, eccentric New York City rock band Johnny Society – and, speaking of Johnny, the super-talented and expansive roots/rock songwriter Johnny Irion. Where there’s a stage, there’s the Big Takeover, the region’s premier reggae band, back from a grueling season of touring. The Mike & Ruthy project the Mammals is on hand, as is the storied children’s artist Elizabeth Mitchell, formerly of the terrific impressionistic folk/rock band Ida. You get the idea: All high-end stuff in an extraordinary setting with the high-fiber community values that have always distinguished the Hoots from your standard-issue folk bacchanalia.

James Center for the Arts at 36 Tinker Street. Soprano Lily Arbisser and pianist Leo Treitler present a diverse program of Romantic, modern, popular and global music. The duo opens the evening with Robert Schumann’s Op. 39, Liederkreis: 12 musical settings of work by Romantic poet and novelist Josef Eichendorff. Arbisser will then
take the audience on a trip through the sometimes bawdy and vastly influential cabaret music of Kurt Weill, including his pulsing “Tango Habanera-Youkali.” Vocal compositions by the late-Romantic piano virtuoso Sergei Rachmaninoff and the reinventor of Argentinian tango Astor Piazzolla round out the evening.

Squeeze’s Glenn Tilbrook plays Colony this Saturday
“Black Coffee in Bed,” the swan song of the original lineup. The catalogue is crowned by a pair of utterly essential records right in the middle: Argy Bargy and the Elvis Costello-produced Sgt. Pepper moonshot Eastside Story. But their body of work, as well as Tilbrook’s solo catalogue, are massive and ceaselessly interesting. For people like me who love little more than the smart, Beatle-derived guitarpop tradition that includes everyone from XTC to Aimee Mann to Elliott Smith, Glen Tilbrook is nothing short of Mount Rushmore royalty: really one of the most talented cats of them all, and tireless, too. On Saturday, August 25, Colony presents an acoustic and electric mashup with Glenn Tilbrook and his son Leon Tilbrook. Tickets cost $40 and $50. For more information, visit www. colonywoodstock.com. Colony is located at 22 Rock City Road in Woodstock. – John Burdick
began in California in 2010 – possibly as a less heated and cutthroat response to Coachella, but those are my words, not theirs. The unimpeachably cool music curation is only part of the story. Huichica Sonoma takes place at the stunning Gundlach Bundschu Winery, and seems as much about boutique wines, foods and settings as about the delightful roster of bands. There will be yoga classes and community cow milking at this familyfriendly celebration of cool music. When pioneering in reverse to the
East Coast, Huichica landed at another boutique setting, Chaseholm Farm: a certified organic and 100 percent grassfed dairy farm in Pine Plains, in eastern Dutchess County near the Connecticut border. The lineup contains its fair share of wow. Top of that list for me, of course, is the great British eccentric Robyn Hitchcock, who, from the Soft Boys to the present, is a school of one. For others, the wow may come from legendary singer Betty LaVette, or Garth Hudson, or local space-rock celebrities Mercury Rev, or the millennial California psychedelic twang
Huichica East at Chaseholm Farm in Pine Plains this weekend
It is hard to fully appreciate the craft and deceptive complexity of the music of Squeeze until you sit down with a guitar to learn a handful of their songs. Slowly, you realize that this music – which flows with the effortlessness and inevitability of timeless pop – disguises tricky modulations, endless thematic variations and structural horseplay that come to seem more like Johannes Brahms up close. At that point you curse and congratulate the maestro behind the madness, Squeeze’s triple-threat composer, lead singer and lead guitarist Glenn Tilbrook. Squeeze’s time as a chart-topper was a relatively brief and feverish run in the early 1980s, framed by “Goodbye Girl” and “Up the Junction” on the early side and

Portrait of Leonard Bernstein, Carnegie Hall, circa 1946. For Songfest’s Maverick performance, Platt has enlisted players from the Caroga Arts Ensemble; singers from the Phoenicia Festival of the Voice; and Actors & Writers to read the poems.
CONCERT
CELEBRATE BERNSTEIN’S 100TH BIRTHDAY WITH SONGFEST ON SATURDAY AT MAVERICK
S
ince Maverick Concerts’ music director Alexander Platt is an experienced and successful conductor, his annual chamber orchestra concerts have become much-anticipated highlights of the Maverick season. This year’s event is particularly significant, as it’s a Leonard Bernstein 100th birthday anniversary concert – exactly on the date of Bernstein’s birthday. For most of the past half-century, Bernstein has been remembered as the composer of a handful of works, especially West Side Story. Yet the Bernstein catalogue contains dozens of compositions, including more musicals, three symphonies, his dramatic Mass (not an actual mass setting) and a wide variety of vocal and chamber works. Bernstein’s Songfest, completed in 1977, was intended as a patriotic celebration of the 1976 Bicentennial, but wasn’t finished in time; it was first performed in 1977 by the National Symphony Orchestra in Washington under Bernstein’s direction. Songfest, settings of the works of 13 American poets from the Colonial-era Anne Bradstreet to contemporaries Gregory Corso and Lawrence Ferlinghetti, has been performed only rarely in Bernstein’s original version. To make it more accessible, Platt arranged it for chamber orchestra in 2011, and premiered it at the prestigious Ravinia Festival near Chicago in 2013. For its Maverick performance, Platt has enlisted players from the Caroga Arts Ensemble, in residence at Caroga Lake in the Adirondacks; singers from the Phoenicia Festival of the Voice; and actors from the Actors & Writers ensemble to read the poems. “Bernstein was an active protestor of the Vietnam War,” says Platt, “and he refused the National Medal of the Arts to protest the George H. W. Bush administration’s policies regarding the National Endowment for the Arts. Lenny wrote his Songfest: A Cycle of American Poems, a glorious and sprawling yet eclectic farrago of a work, in tribute to the Bicentennial. But deep down he might as well have been writing it in celebration of America’s Fourth of July as well as France’s Bastille Day. In setting 13 American poems spanning three centuries from a wide diversity of sources – racial, ethnic, sexual and political – Bernstein was forever reaching for those Gallic ideals of liberté, egalité and fraternité in an all-embracing musical vision.” – Leslie Gerber Maverick Chamber Orchestra Concert, Saturday, August 25, 6 p.m., $30 (optional post-concert reception $50), Maverick Concert Hall, 120 Maverick Road, Woodstock; (845) 679-8217, www.maverickconcerts.org.

The Hudson Valley-bred, nationally recognized prog/rock band 3 celebrates the birthday of frontman and founder Joey Eppard at the Bearsville Theater on Saturday, September 1 at 8:30 p.m. It will likely shock locals to realize that 3 has been at it for almost 25 years, beginning their run with a set at the 1994 Woodstock Festival in Saugerties. In that time, they’ve morphed from a precocious funky trio into a complex and visionary prog band that has toured with Dream Theater and the Scorpions, among many others, and amassed a sizable national following. The band includes longtime members Billy Riker on guitar, the Grape and the Grain’s Daniel Grimsland on bass and vocals and former Peacebomb drummer Chris Gartmann. Tickets to the Ashokan Talent production cost $20 in advance and $25 at the door. For tickets and additional information, visit www.bearsvilletheater. com.

“Community & Continuity: Native American Art of New York” opens Wednesday at Dorsky Museum
D
o you experience a sense of pride and engagement in the knowledge that New York State has a deep and rich history? How often do you let that extend to this region’s indigenous peoples, who were here a whole lot longer? They may not have left written records, and those who survived the impact of European colonization may have been mostly displaced, but they are not “gone.” Their imprint is on these lands. Every time you drive Route 209, you are following a well-trodden trail blazed by Native people to connect their northern and southern territories. What we know about these literally pre-historic dwellers on the land we now occupy is largely captured in objects made for everyday use, in which no line is drawn between beauty and utility. The New York State Museum (NYSM) in Albany is a major repository of such artifacts. And since 1996, NYSM has been making a point of also collecting contemporary art made by Native American communities in New York State, closing the temporal circle and reminding us all that descendants of the original stewards of these lands still live among us, largely unrecognized, and are still making beautiful things. “Community and Continuity: Native American Art of New York” is the title of a new exhibition at the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art at SUNY-New Paltz. It connects the past with the present, featuring selections from NYSM’s collections of contemporary Native American art and archaeological artifacts, plus objects from Historic Huguenot Street. The exhibit will be on display from August 29 through December 9 in the Dorsky’s Sara Bedrick Gallery. A public opening reception will be held on Saturday, September 15, from 5 to 7 p.m. Curated by NYSM’s Gwendolyn Saul and John P. Hart to showcase the diversity of Native American creative output and exemplify the state’s thriving, vibrant and continuous Indigenous presence, “Community and Continuity” will feature contemporary art that incorporates subject matter based on the epic narrative of the Creation Story, Algonquian histories and commentary on what it means to be Indigenous today, expressed through a variety of media including photography, painting, sculpture, beadwork and basketry. Complementing the contemporary artworks will be a selection of artifacts of fired clay, bone and shell dating from the 15th to the 17th century. Contemporary artists featured in this exhibition include Shelley Niro, Dawn Dark Mountain, Tammy Tarbell-Boehning, Jeremy Dennis, Luanne Redeye, Bruce Boots, Carson Waterman, Towanna Miller, Peter Jones, Diane Schenandoah, Roger Perkins, William V. Wilson, Gail Tremblay, Salli Benedict, David Bunn Martine, Ronni-Leigh, Sue Ellen Herne, Brenda Hill, John Fadden, Carrie Hill, Rosemary Hill, Ann Mitchell, Sam Thomas, Jay Havens and Karen Ann Hoffman. Centrally located on the SUNY-New Paltz campus, the Dorsky Museum is open to the public Wednesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. except during school holidays and intersessions. For more information, visit www.newpaltz.edu/museum or call (845) 257-3844.

At the Artbar Gallery in Midtown Kingston for the past three weeks, a joint exhibition has been on view that weds contemporary abstract imagery with meditative practices of the ancient East. The two featured artists, woodcarver/painter Eric Archer and painter/calligrapher Barbara Bash, are known for works that channel movement in perceived stillness. “I have always explored the balance between perceived movement and visceral stillness within art that captures, cradles and encourages the fluidity of light,” writes Archer of his approach to artmaking. Their collaboration combines elements of calligraphy, woodcuts, landscape and mandala art to offer a show that is at once both ancient and modern. “The Stillness of Movement” is up only until August 25, so catch it now. A closing reception with live music and brushwork, in which a select group of musicians improvise solo compositions in response and collaboration with the artworks, will take place from 6 to 9 p.m. this Friday, August 24. The Artbar Gallery is located at 674 Broadway, across from the intersection of Franklin Street, amidst the creative fermentation of Kingston’s Midtown Arts District. To find out more, call (845) 338-2789 or visit http://artbargallery. com/current-exhibition. To see examples of Eric Archer’s work, visit www. ericarcherarts.com.

Soccer Stars is an adaptive soccer program for a variety of children from 5 to 17 years of age with a variety of disabilities or special needs. Players learn skills and sportsmanship in a supportive environment without the layers of competition; and, since we’re talking about everyone being able to play, volunteer “buddy” players are needed, too.

Clearwater public sails from Beacon and Kingston Sailin’ up! (Sailin’ up!) / Sailin’ down! (Sailin’ down!) / Up! (Down!) / Down! (Up!) / Up ‘n’ down the river…
W
hen you go on a Clearwater public sail, you sing together. It’s just what you do, connecting all types of people around working together, learning together and having fun! Music has been the backbone to the Clearwater organization since legendary folksinger, activist et cetera Pete Seeger got the “crazy” idea of cleaning up the pollution in the Hudson River in the first place. River Pool in Beacon is just one example, and a testament to the ongoing success of Clearwater’s efforts. Haven’t been on a Clearwater sail, you say? Well, here’s an opportunity for you and your family crew. This Friday, August 24 from 4 to 7 p.m. out of Beacon, and on Wednesday, August 29 from DION OGUST | ALMANAC WEEKLY 6 to 9 p.m. from Kingston, get ready to hoist the sail and steer the 11-foot tiller on the Clearwater sloop for a powerful summer experience. Tickets cost $50 for adults, $35 for Hudson River Sloop Clearwater members and $15 for kids ages 12 and under. After the “voyage,” many public “sailors” of all ages continue to volunteer with the Clearwater organization or even work on the sloop itself. The Beacon dock is located on Red Flynn Drive in Beacon, on the river side of the train station; the Kingston dock is at 50 Rondout Landing in Kingston. For tickets or more information, call (845) 265-8080 or visit www.clearwater.org.

“Yes, of course I am athletic. I surf the Internet every day.” At last, a day of sun. I excitedly put on the suit, and we headed to the beach. I took a deep breath. “This is what you’ve been waiting for,” I reminded myself. I pulled off the cover-up and readjusted the top. Mike took photos while I awkwardly strutted through the seaweedstrewn sand, pretending to be captivated by something “over here” or gazing “over there.” Sun warmed my skin in places it hadn’t seen since pre-Internet on the French Riviera. The silky fabric felt as if Neptune himself had cast a spell of luxurious softness. I gradually made my way into the ocean, and despite a couple of wave-induced breaches in my “upper deck,” I beamed sun-kissed smiles all day.

One day, after months of deflating from my last dose of steroids, I could finally see a shadow in my “inny.” A cheekbone in the mirror. My hardest body challenge to accept in myself, abdominal bloat, was gone – at least today. It was now or never, I thought. I may never get another shot. I got the bikini. “Never stop doing things for the first time.” In June, while we endure 90-degree temps with 9,000-percent humidity, swimsuits are already on sale to make room to dress for apple-picking, pumpkincarving and out-trending others at school. But despite slim pickings during this “end-of-season,” there she was: not just a bikini, but my bikini: strap-free bandeau top, right size and clearance pricing. It practically came with its own boobs styled right into the cups. This was the one. Being a Kate Spade also added the reality check of imminent loss: What if this is my last summer, too? “No Regerts,” as the failed tattoo memes say, and this summer indulgence happened. “Sorry I’m late. I was rounding up all the gluten in the world and launching it into space where it can’t not hurt us anymore.” – Deadpool I already knew where my bikini would debut: Down East. Thanks to Stella’s Wish Foundation (www.stellaswish.org), my family and I were gifted with a stay at Old Orchard Beach, Maine. We prepare most of our own meals when we travel, but to streamline during this weeklong stay, I ate the same carbs as my family instead of my usual gluten-free versions, which caused my gut to bloat. My self-consciousness about exposing my belly kept resurfacing.
Thank you, breast cancer, for your strong nudges to open my heart and turn me to face my struggles head-on. To me, “now or never” fuels motivation to make daily decisions before conditions change and I no longer have those same options. In this case, pursuing the self-challenge of claiming my puffy tummy in public, and feeling beautiful doing it, was a healing step in my personal journey. Here’s what I’ve taken away from the experience so far: • No one cares what bathing suit I wear to the beach. Do I like it? Yes! • I set a course and followed through, deepening trust in myself. • I am a degree or two less intimidated about how my torso exists in its everchanging state. This Kate Winslet quote helped: “Nobody is perfect. I just don’t believe in perfection. But I do believe in saying, ‘This is who I am, and look at me not being perfect!’ I’m proud of that.” • I have more energy when I’m not selfcriticizing. • “No Regerts.” In closing, here’s the ultimate, bigger picture to me, perfectly illustrated in Mary Oliver’s poem, “October”: One morning the fox came down the hill, glittering and confident, and didn’t see me – and I thought: so this is the world. I’m not in it. It is beautiful. Head On and Heart Strong! Love, Erica Kids’ Almanac columnist Erica ChaseSalerno was diagnosed with Stage IV breast cancer in the Summer of 2015.

The astonishing CZA How to find the upside-down rainbow
O
nce or twice a year, after I’ve seen a CZA, I stop strangers on the street and point it out. It blows everyone’s mind, including mine, even after all these years. The colors are more vivid than a rainbow’s. And it’s upside-down – meaning, the arc is oriented like a smile. As we all know, rainbows are shaped like frowns, with the ends aiming downward.
A rainbow requires a sunshower. It must be raining. But the CZA can appear against a blue sky.

But there’s more: The Circumzenithal Arc (you get used to saying it with a little practice) only materializes high overhead. Straight up. Actual rainbows, by contrast, are never overhead, ever. The very highest the tippy-top of a rainbow’s midpoint can ever reach is halfway up the sky, and all the rest is lower. But the CZA, as the name reveals, is an arc that surrounds the zenith, the place directly straight up. And there are still more differences: A rainbow requires a sunshower. It must be raining. Thus, it’s usually seen against dark clouds. But the

in the photo on this page. That’s typical. But CZAs also form within a barely-there thin layer of ice haze, so that the blue sky is only slightly lightened, or, also, when there’s a thicker ice-cloud layer, called cirrostratus. In all cases the clouds are very high and nearly transparent. They don’t fully block out sunlight. On such days, whenever the Sun is lowish – between 15 and 25 degrees high – look straight up. During the next few weeks, the correct Sun height will happen each day between 8 and 9 a.m. and again from 5 to 6 p.m. And there overhead, surrounding the zenith, is the brilliant spectral arc. It’s never a full circle; it’s one-third of a circle. The arc you see is

always directly far above that lowish Sun. Caused by refraction induced by hexagonal ice crystals, the length of the CZA as well as the arc’s thickness vary with the Sun’s elevation. When you show it to people, most will exclaim, “It’s a rainbow!” At which point, and at risk of making them feel deservedly ignorant, you might say, “Yes, this does display all of the Sun’s spectral colors, just as a rainbow does. But this is the circumzenithal arc. The arc is inverted, compared to that of a rainbow. It’s not caused by a rain shower. It’s high overhead, where a rainbow can never appear. And unlike a rainbow, it’s not opposite the Sun, but directly above the Sun. So in many ways, it’s a rainbow’s exact opposite!” Then, according to the tradition of my grandparents, make them repeat its name three times and give you five bucks.

Montgomery Place to host free film, music and dance events Montgomery Place, the 379-acre Livingston family estate adjacent to the Bard College campus, was acquired by Bard early in 2016. Next month, the college is organizing a series of free cultural events to inaugurate the historic manse, with its large handsome portico, as an exterior performance space, to be called the Stage at Montgomery Place. Under the collective title of Gathering on the Banks, the series kicks off on Saturday, September 15 at 7 p.m. with a screening of Alfred Hitchcock’s classic thriller North by Northwest, presented in partnership with Upstate Films. On Sunday, September 23, Hudson River Jamboree: A Celebration of Americana Music featuring Spirit Family Reunion will take place at 4 p.m. And on Saturday, September 29, Bard faculty member and choreographer Souleymane “Solo” Badolo will give an outdoor dance performance titled Yimbégré. Admission to all three events is free, but reservations should be made in
MUSIC
Healing Music & Psychic Festival at Opus 40 on Wednesday
W
hile it’s a human-sculpted environment and not one of those weird natural stone formations that prompt tourists to take “vortex tours” via pink Jeep on the outskirts of Sedona, there’s definitely something about Opus 40 that stirs many visitors on a deep, uncanny level. Maybe the late Harvey Fite was channeling some of the same sort of spiraling Earth energy, New World-style, that inspired ancient Europeans to put up massive dolmens and menhirs and henges all over the map – especially in what felt to them like sacred places. Despite the coming of Norwegian Air to Stewart Airport, a jaunt by car to Saugerties is still a lot more affordable than a flight to Britain. On Wednesday, August 29 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., you can get your next dose of geomantic and other healing vibes at Opus 40’s popular Healing Music and Psychic Festival. Healers and psychics will be available to meet with you, and music will be provided by the Catskill Gamelan Orchestra. While individual healers and psychics will have their own fee schedules, admission to the event is by Opus 40’s regular fee of $10 for adults, $7 for students and seniors, $3 for school-aged children. Bring a picnic. For more information, visit www. opus40.org.

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK
There’s more than one way to preserve your tomato harvest
W
ith apologies to E. B. Browning: “How do I store [as in ‘preserve’] thee? Let me count the ways. I store thee to the depth and breadth and height a Mason jar can reach…” and in other ways. Red ripe tomatoes, the essence of summer. How to capture that essence for a dark, snowy winter day? A few ways: Let me count the ways. Canning tomatoes can be a complicated, drawn-out process, or something quick and easy. In the heat of summer, I choose the latter: merely filling a large pot with a half-inch of water and then whole tomatoes from which any diseased or unripened areas have been excised. No de-skinning, de-seeding or chopping. The pot is allowed to cool a bit after its volume has been reduced to onehalf to two-thirds of the original volume. Less than a minute with my immersion blender then homogenizes the works, readying the mix for canning jars that have been scrubbed clean – except for one more critical addition to each jar: two tablespoons of bottled lemon juice or a half-teaspoon of citric acid per quart of tomatoes. The reason for the lemon juice or citric acid is to make the mix more acidic. And the reason to make the mix more acidic is to prevent growth of the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, which, you might guess from the name, causes botulism. Tomatoes vary in their acidity. I actually bought a pH tester to test the acidity before adding the lemon juice or citric acid. The tomatoes tested at a pH of 4.2. But tomatoes differ in their acidity, depending on variety (paste tomatoes are generally less acidic) and growing conditions; perhaps the next batch would not make the cut. So, just to make sure… Next, canning lids are put in a small pot and covered with water which was just brought to a boil. I fish out a lid with a pair of tongs and lay it in place atop a jar, then screw it down secure with the jar’s metal ring. The rings need to be tightened just enough to seat each lid against the glass, but not so tight as to prevent escape of gases when the jar is heated: the next step. I use a pressure canner, which speeds processing because less time is needed at the higher temperatures that can be achieved under pressure. Fifteen minutes at 10 pounds (which puts the temperature at 240 degrees Fahrenheit) does the job. Forty-five minutes would be needed when canning with a boiling water bath, and that doesn’t include the time needed to get enough water boiling to be able to submerge all the jars. I carefully remove jars after their allotted time and let them cool. Once cool, pressing down on the center of each lid lets me know whether that jar has sealed well. The lid should not move down when pressed.
San Marzano tomatoes make the best-tasting sauce.
I failed to mention one more step early in my canning process, and that is sorting out the San Marzano tomatoes. This variety makes the best-tasting sauce, so we segregate it for single-variety canning. In Italy, tomatoes canned with San Marzano variety tomatoes are specifically labelled as such. So are ours. As I wrote, with the help of E. B. Browning, “Let me count the ways,” plural. Years ago I pooh-poohed a friend’s suggestion to dry tomatoes, probably because he said eating them was “fun.” Then I tried drying some. They weren’t fun to eat, but they sure taste good in winter, their intense flavor released as they are crumbled on salads or soaked in water and cooked with other vegetables. (Not good on pizza, though; they

burn.) Slices a quarter-of-an-inch-thick are good for drying. Laid on stacked trays in my dehydrator, with the temperature set at 130 degrees Fahrenheit, the slices dry to leathery or brittle, depending on the ambient humidity, overnight. Once dry, the slices are packed into canning jars with the lids screwed down tightly to prevent air from entering. I haven’t yet finished “counting the ways.” One more way: freezing. All that’s needed is to cut any bad spots from the fruit and put them into a freezer bag. The frozen tomatoes add yet another tomatoey flavor and texture for winter. To me, they’re more like fresh tomatoes than either the canned or the dried ones – fresh-cooked, of course, not fresh raw. Fresh-cooked or frozen fresh, cooked, lends a different flavor and texture than canned. Just popping the fresh fruit into the freezer is also a way to preserve peppers. To me, though, the taste of frozen peppers is a far cry from the fresh summer ones, no matter how they are used. But then, ripe red peppers are one of my favorite garden vegetables, so the bar is high for them in any other form. – Lee Reich Any gardening questions?

legal notices LEGAL NOTICE NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Local Law, published herewith has been adopted by the County Legislature of the County of Ulster, New York on June 19, 2018, approved by the County Executive on July 20, 2018, and filed with the State of New York on July 27, 2018, and the validity of the obligations authorized by such Local Law may be hereinafter contested only if such obligations were authorized for an object or purpose for which said County is not authorized to expend money, or if the provisions of law which should have been complied with as of the date of publication of this notice were not substantially complied with, and an action, suit or proceeding contesting such validity is commenced within twenty days after the date of publication of this notice, or such obligations were authorized in violations of the provisions of the Constitutions. DATED: August 23, 2018 Kingston, New York Victoria A. Fabella, Clerk Ulster County Legislature Local Law Number 3 Of 2018 County Of Ulster A Local Law Prohibiting Conversion Therapy Upon A Minor Within Ulster County BE IT ENACTED, by the Legislature of the County of Ulster, as follows: SECTION 1. LEGISLATIVE INTENT AND FINDINGS. The purpose of this Local Law is to ensure the physical and psychological well-being of minors by protecting Ulster County youth from nefarious and unsubstantiated quasi-medical practices. The Ulster County Legislature finds that there is significant and substantial evidence that reparative, otherwise known as conversion therapy, causes serious psychological harm to minors who have been exposed to sexual orientation or gender identity change efforts including higher instances of depression, anxiety, substance abuse and even suicide. The Ulster County Legislature further finds that Conversion Therapy has been discredited by virtually every American medical, psychiatric, psychological and professional counseling organization including: American Academy of Child Adolescent Psychiatry, American Academy of Pe-
diatrics, American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy, American College of Physicians, American Counseling Association, American Medical Association, American Psychiatric Association, American Psychoanalytic Association, American Psychological Association, American School Counselor Association, American School Health Association, National Association of Social Workers, World Health Organization and the World Psychiatric Association. The Ulster County Legislature strives to promote an inclusive and supportive culture, ensuring all visitors and residents of Ulster County feel welcome. The Ulster County Legislature desires to show solidarity with the nine states and numerous cities and counties throughout the country, including New York City and Erie County within New York State, by recognizing the harm Conversion Therapy causes children and young adults by enacting a Local Law which bans the practice in Ulster County. SECTION 2. DEFINTIONS As used in this law, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated: A. “Conversion Therapy” means any formal treatment that aims to change sexual orientation and gender identity of a minor. This includes attempting to change a person’s sexual orientation from homosexual to heterosexual as well as from heterosexual to homosexual. B. “Minor” means any person less than eighteen (18) years of age. C. “Reparative Therapy” has the same meaning as conversion therapy. D. “Sexual Orientation or Gender Identity Change Efforts” means conversion therapy, reparative therapy, or any other practice that seeks to change an individual’s sexual orientation or gender identity. “Sexual Orientation or Gender Identity Change Efforts” do not include psychotherapies that provide acceptance, support, and understanding for clients. And in addition do not prohibit clergy from pastoral counseling, teaching, or relaying of their religion’s doctrine. E. “Formal Treatment” is defined as a continued effort through a program or through many sessions or meetings to change a minor’s sexual identity or orientation. SECTION 3. PROHIBITION The administering sexual orientation or gender identity change efforts, Conversion Therapy, or Reparative Therapy upon a minor within the geographic boundaries of the County of Ulster

ADVERTISING SALES REPRESENTATIVE US: Ulster Publishing is an independent, locally owned media company. It began in 1972 with the Woodstock Times, and now publishes the New Paltz Times, Kingston Times and Saugerties Times, plus Almanac Weekly, an arts & entertainment guide, and Hudson Valley One, a regional news and entertainment site. Ulster Publishing has a mission: to reflect and enrich our communities. Our content is 100-percent local – locally written, photographed, edited, printed and distributed. We publicize local businesses and encourage our readers to shop local. We publicize local events because we want our communities to be vibrant places where people come together. We don’t just write about the controversy, but the good news too, because we love these communities and we want readers to know about the great people who live here. We don’t just write about our communities, we’re part of them. YOU: A self-motivated and energetic person who cares about local businesses and wants to help them succeed because thriving local businesses are part of what makes the Hudson Valley (or any place) special. You like to shop locally and eat at locally-owned restaurants. You tend to feel invested in the success of these enterprises, sometimes thinking of ways they could better promote themselves and reach more potential customers. You believe in community journalism and want it to succeed as well because, like local business, it helps preserve a sense of place. In a time of media consolidation and fake news, there’s something charming and essential about an independent local media company with fact-checked writers on the ground and in the trenches. You’re aware that advertising options have multiplied for local businesses, but believe local media can offer something unique. You can sum up the pros and cons of those options and explain where a hyperlocal print and digital media campaign fits in. (That’s what you’re selling.) LOCATION: Office in Uptown Kingston, but we are flexible. AREA: Mostly Ulster and Dutchess counties, as well as some adjacent areas. COMPENSATION: Base + commission. Pay commensurate with experience. Interested? Send a resume to genia@ulsterpublishing.com

Animals
FOR ADOPTION- GRAY AND WHITE CAT GIRL- DOLLY; about 1-year old. She wandered into a woman’s garage. Since being outdoors is unsafe for pets and the woman couldn’t keep her, Dolly was in a wonderful foster home in W. Hurley and now at Saugerties Animal Shelter. She’s been spayed, up to date w/shots and litter pan trained. Dolly tested negative for FIV/LeukV. Dolly’s foster mom says she is so Sweet and Polite! CINNAMON - SWEET ORANGE SENIOR CAT BOY who’s had a rough six months. First, his caregiver passed away. Then, when a family member took Cinnamon, the dogs and cat already in the house didn’t welcome Cinnamon and was relegated to the laundry room. Now, he’s at Saugerties Animal Shelter waiting for a person/people to love him and let him know he is valued and special. Cinnamon is almost 11-years old & is one of the very special cats and dogs at the Saugerties Animal Shelter. All adult cats have been spayed/neutered, up to date w/shots and are litter pan trained. Why not Schedule a Visit! Open TuesdaysSaturdays. SAUGERTIES ANIMAL SHELTER, 1765 NY Route 212, Saugerties, 845679-0339. FOR ADOPTION- 2-YEAR OLD CAT GIRL- MISSY; about 2-years old. She gave birth to 6 kittens and was a wonderful mother. All 6 kittens were adopted and in loving homes. Now it’s Missy’s turn to have a loving forever home. An older woman took Missy in and three days later, Missy’s kittens were born. The woman adores Missy but is unable to keep her. She is spayed, up to date w/shots and litter pan trained. Her gray fur has striped markings. She is a sweetheart. If you’re interested in finding out more about Missy, please call/text (917)282-2018 or email DRJLPK@aol.com.
