TASTE

THE DISTINCT FLAVORING caused by the toasting and charring processes gives American-made whiskeys their unique taste.

DION OGUST | ALMANAC WEEKLY

John Cox of Quercus Cooperage in High Falls is doing his best to meet the increased demand for American white oak whisky barrels .

Barreling along Reviving the ancient art of cooperage with John Cox in High Falls

V

isiting John Cox’s Quercus Cooperage in High Falls is like stepping into a combination Industrial Arts/World History class. He has a blackboard on one wall with chalk sketches illustrating the steps of putting together a barrel. He jumps into a detailed explanation of how each stave is cut, what his mathematical

formula is for cutting them and why the craft has suddenly come out of obsolescence: It’s all about whiskey.

Cox, who made his living in custom cabinetry for two decades, came upon the cooper’s craft only a few years ago. He knows wood and is plenty adept at working with his two hands. When he learned of the dearth of barrels used in whiskey-making, he got

curious. Whether it’s produced by a big outfit in Kentucky or a boutique distiller in Gardiner, whiskey must be aged in charred new oak barrels: this from a 1930s law enacted when the Coopers’ Union lobbied Congress to put standards on the books, declaring that whiskey-makers could not reuse their barrels.

Now, with ambitious spirits getting into the whiskey business up and down the State of New York – where the government is notably supportive of boutique alcoholic

beverage production – the shortage of new barrels has created a market for a product that few craftsmen know anything about.

“I learned to be a cooper about three years ago, and I was lucky to buy most of these tools from a museum in Ottawa. I’d already had 25 years in the woodshop. My father was a tool-and-die-maker with his own shop; my grandfather had his own shop.

I wasn’t a stranger to fabricating and jig work.”

He demonstrates a hand tool that

shaves down the exterior edges of the staves. “Coopering is very distinctive in the woodworking world. It has its own set of tools. Somebody stood all day and did this motion. Part of my discovery was to figure out how to do all these angles and use these tools, which made for a long R-and-D. You can go online to figure out how to build an airplane or a wristwatch, but you cannot find out how to build a barrel,” he says.

He holds up a flagging iron, describes how to make a tapered bunghole plug, points to a planer from the 17th century, explains the method of shaping the “heads” and getting them in place. “Coopers had no motorized machinery; they had to do everything by hand. The head has to be watertight, using a tongue-and groove-compression joint. If I had four million dollars, I could be set up with state-of-the art machinery,” he says.

Instead, he’s doing it old-school, with a few mechanized tools. He is a walking encyclopedia of information, not only about the craft itself but also its long history.

Cox says that when Caesar traipsed across Europe over 2,000 years ago, he dragged clay vessels of wine to keep his troops happy – until he met up with the Celts, who were already building barrels made of wood.

“For thousands of years, that’s how things were transported. It was maritime law that

boats couldn’t travel without an on-board cooper. The cooper was a steward. The hold was full of food and water. You couldn’t just crack open a barrel, get what you needed and close it back up, possibly contaminating it with all the surrounding filth. And when a boat traveled to the Caribbean for spices, it would be laden with barrel staves. Then, when they got to Trinidad, the coopers would go to the beach and start building barrels.”

Cox is particularly intrigued with the local history of cooperage. American white oak is the ideal wood for barrelmaking (Quercus is the Latin name for the oak genus), and the Hudson Valley and Catskill regions were once covered in oak forests.

Traditionally crafted for either wet goods or dry goods, barrels made commerce possible. Everything was transported by barrel: salted fish, apples, nails, gunpowder, cement from Rosendale, flour from Rochester, blubber from the whaling industry, oysters from the Chesapeake Bay, fresh water for long voyages. In 1824 crude oil was discovered in Pennsylvania, and that too was traded in barrels. John D. Rockefeller had the largest cooperage in the US. “But when corrugated cardboard was invented in 1902, everything changed overnight,” says Cox. “Then Prohibition was

the death knell for the industry. The need for barrels died out after that.”

And so did the oral tradition of the craft.

Through reverse engineering, Cox learned how to bilge-cut and join angled staves from quartersawn white oak. He works with steam to soften the staves just enough to be able to winch the galvanized steel bands into place using no glue, nails or screws. “Then I take it outside to ‘toast’ it, hardening that lignin, and char it with a small pile of burning sawdust. By introducing compressed air out of an air hose, I create a vortex, a tornado of flame inside the barrel for 30 seconds, at 1,300 degrees. It’s pretty dramatic.”

The distinct flavoring caused by the toasting and charring processes gives American-made whiskeys their unique taste. Although distillers can’t reuse their barrels, they can sell them to beermakers for “bourbon-barreled beer.” And other countries don’t have the same regulations as we do, so distillers in Canada, Scotland and the rest of Europe can purchase our secondhand barrels.

There are currently approximately 150 distilleries in New York State alone, Cox says.

“Three years ago, there was an 18-month lead time in production. I’m the 29th cooper out of 30 cooperages, which are mostly

in Kentucky and Napa. I’m considered a boutique cooperage. We have clients and orders and must up the production soon.

I’m projected to make 20 barrels a week.

Some small cooperages make 100 a week, and still there’s a barrel crisis.”

MOVIE A Bread Factory premieres Labor Day at venue that inspired it Tyne Daly, James Marsters, Elisabeth Henry and Janeane Garofalo star in new film inspired by TSL in Hudson

Hudson Valley residents are interested anytime our region is picked as a primary location for shooting a feature film, as is happening more and more frequently since the changes in New York State’s tax incentives map for film production. But how many of those movies are actually about our neck of the woods, its peculiar sense of place, its amazing residents? This weekend presents a rare opportunity to experience onscreen not one, but two brand-new fictionalized explorations of the long battle to sustain a local cultural institution: Time & Space Limited in Hudson.

The title of the two-part movie about to premiere is a heavy clue to what inspired it: A Bread Factory. The industrial building that Linda Mussmann and Claudia Bruce have reclaimed and reshaped to house TSL’s programs was originally – you guessed it – a bread factory. The movies were shot in and around Hudson, and you’ll be able to watch the world-premiere screenings on Labor Day while sitting in the seats of the very theater where some of the scenes take place. Part One: For the Sake of Gold will screen at 1 p.m. and Part

hen the first leaves on the trees in the high altitudes of the Catskills begin to burnish with hints of autumn soon to come, a Hudson Valley culture vulture’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of film festivals. The Big One in our region comes to downtown Woodstock (and other area venues) in October, but whetting our appetites over Labor Day weekend is The Other Woodstock Film Festival: the one that the Woodstock Museum puts on.

This year’s Woodstock Museum Film Festival will be its 19th, so if you haven’t discovered it yet, you’re long overdue for a visit. It’s manageably small, the filmmakers are approachable up-and-coming indies and admission is free to both screenings and workshops. Events go on continuously at a single site from 7 to 10 p.m. Friday through Sunday, August 31 to September 2, and from noon to 5 p.m. on Monday, September 3. There are talkbacks with the filmmakers after most screenings, and the general public is invited to critique what you’ve seen.

United by the theme “Impact,� this year’s lineup includes, on Friday, 1st Day & Next Minute, The Silent Glow: Recovering the Present, Tapferkeit and Sparrow Meets Dr. Worraps; on Saturday, Still I Rise, Enough White Teacups, One, Escaping Stars and At the Park by the Creek; on Sunday, Work, Standing Rock: Take Me from the River, Malka, Scenes from a Visit and The Best of All Worlds; and on Monday, School Me, 21 Years: A Folded Flag, My Golden Rule, Major “Doc� Brown, Look, Superhouse, It’s the Dystopian Future, Mama Qota and Smacked!

A talkback with writer/director Patrick Wang (In the Family, The Grief of Others) will follow.

An economist as well as a filmmaker, Wang said in a Variety interview last year: “A small town turns out to be a great setting for thinking about many big themes: art and commerce, globalization, gentrification, changing social institutions and new technology.� Of his sources of inspiration, he adds, “Remembering my early days in theater and the women who were my teachers and directors, provided warmth and humor while staring these colder contemporary changes in the eye.�

Among those inspiring women, apparently, were TSL founders Linda Mussmann and Claudia Bruce. Their

fictional counterparts are called Dorothea (Tyne Daly) and Greta (Elisabeth Henry), and the changing town we know as Hudson is renamed Checkford. Other stars of A Bread Factory include Janeane Garofalo, James Marsters, Jessica Pimentel, Nana Visitor and a raft of Hudsonians.

Both parts of A Bread Factory will be screened on Monday afternoon, September 3, starting at 1 o’clock. Tickets cost $18 general admission, $14 for TSL members and students. Time & Space Ltd. is located at 434 Columbia Street in Hudson. For more info, call (518) 8228100 or visit https://timeandspace.org/ calendar/a-bread-factory.

Outdoor screening of Dirty Dancing this Friday at Greig Farm

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 advance by visiting http://fishercenter.bard.edu/ events. The grounds will open one hour before each event’s starting time. Bring your own lawn chair or blanket; food and beverages from local vendors will be available for purchase. Montgomery Place is located at 26 Gardener Way in Annandale-on-Hudson.

Woodstock Film Fest to honor Julie Taymor, Matthew Heineman Director Julie Taymor, who has just been announced as the Maverick Award honoree at this year’s Woodstock Film Festival, is a name most Nostalgic 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.

commonly known for one of two things. Her biggest claim to fame was becoming the first woman ever to receive the Best Direction of a Musical Tony Award, for The Lion King (1997) – the most successful Broadway musical ever, for which she also designed the costumes, masks, puppets and even wrote some of the song lyrics.

More notorious was her ambitious, injury-plagued, critically unwelcomed and financially unsuccessful SpiderMan: Turn Off the Dark (2011).

In between, Taymor directed a lot more stage shows, operas and movies, to mostly great acclaim, casting Anthony Hopkins as Titus Andronicus, Salma Hayek as Frida Kahlo and Helen Mirren as Prospero in The Tempest. Her 2007 cultfavorite film set to music of the Beatles, Across the Universe, will be screened as part of the Festival at 11 a.m. on Sunday, October 14 at the Woodstock Playhouse; Taymor and her partner, composer Elliot Goldenthal, will be on hand for the talkback afterwards.

The Maverick Awards ceremony takes place on Saturday, October 13 at Backstage Studio Productions in Kingston. Along with Taymor, acclaimed documentarian Matthew Heineman (The Trade, City of Ghosts, Cartel Land, Escape Fire) will be honored that evening, receiving WFF’s Filmmaker Award of Distinction for 2018. Heineman’s first fiction feature, A

Private War, starring Rosamund Pike, Jamie Dornan and Stanley Tucci, will be the Festival’s closing-night film, with the director in attendance.

Expect many more details to emerge in the next few weeks about WFF 2018, which is scheduled to take place at various venues in Woodstock, Kingston, Rhinebeck, Saugerties and Rosendale from October 10 to 14.

ART Head of steam Harris Diamant retrospective opens on Saturday at Wired Gallery in High Falls

F

or 30 years, Harris Diamant has been making sculptures, drawings and wall pieces characterized by mysterious, cabalistic imagery and meticulous fabrication processes using materials, ranging from laminated wood and Mylar to gold leaf and found parts. When making his piece, “My mind is filled with facts and vacant of ideas,” he said. “I want [the piece] to reveal something about me I don’t understand. That’s what makes it interesting to me.”

But Diamant is no naïf: He brings to his work a practiced eye, honed from his many years as a dealer of American folk art. His long-felt Steampunk sensibility reflects a fascination with 19th-century mechanics, scientific charts and the aesthetic mysticism of the Odd Fellows and ancient Egyptians.

Diamant, a native New Yorker who has had multiple shows in New York City and Los Angeles, is now making his debut in his transplanted locale in the midHudson Valley. A retrospective of his work will open at Wired Gallery in High Falls on September 1 and run through September 23.

It will consist of approximately 50 pieces, including his sleek, carved wooden heads and standing figures, abstract steel sculptures and life-size assembled heads, which resemble futuristic th automatons.

I recently visited Harris in his loft, located in a former synagogue overlooking the creek in Kingston’s Rondout District, where much of this work is displayed, along with that of his wife, designer Neville Bean. (The couple moved to Kingston in 2015 after they lost their Chelsea studio due to an exorbitant rent increase.) Sparsely furnished – instead of a couch, guests sit on red velvet movie chairs – the loft contains their studios as well as a living area filled with their artworks, suggesting a combination curio store and art gallery.

to be awaiting the phrenologist’s analysis, are perched in the front window, while a cluster of oddities, including a raised hand, are clustered on the floor. Shimmering goldand-silver-leafed flat wall pieces complement D i a m a n t ’s n u m e r o u s assembled lifesize heads, which are fabricated from metal parts, some displayed in Victorian-style glass domes.

One, wearing a metal derby (it’s actually a tuba mute) and facial features partially made from fiberglass mannequin parts, is mostly space; in a reversal of Modernist orthodoxy, it’s the details of the features and costume, rather than the spherical form of the head, that interest the artist.

Diamant was born in 1937, after his parents – both the children of Jewish immigrants, on one side from Poland and on the other from Romania – moved from Harlem to the Bronx. He graduated from City College, substitute-taught at

1980s and had his first show in 1986 at the Allan Stone Gallery. Here are excerpts from our interview: Did you always want to make art? What affected you as an artist growing up?

I grew up in a supportive family in the West Bronx. My father was born in the

Medicine as a major. I think it’s because I wanted a dog. I soon discovered I didn’t have the aptitude for chemistry and biology, so I fell in with the arts and literature.

When I was a small boy, the father of a kid who lived in the building next to us had this steam boiler that was attached to a lot of miniature machines. I connected with that in a powerful way.

How did you start out as a dealer?

I was initially drawn to model steam engines, but my first affair with objects had to do with Art Nouveau, which was rediscovered in the late 1950s and early 1960s. There was a big show at MoMA, and it touched me in a powerful way. I was teaching school as a permanent sub in a junior high school in Bed-Stuy.

It was tough. Since I had a salary, I felt secure, and always had an inclination to do antiques, so I opened my shop after school in the afternoon, and very soon after, quit teaching.

How did you make the transition from dealing in objects to also making your own?

I rented a partition and made a workroom in the back of my store to restore the stuff I bought. I fabricated lamps from particles of antiques, investing energy in changing them and bringing them to the market. As I moved from Columbus and 71st Street to Second Avenue and 52nd to Second and 53rd Street, which was a much larger space, I was slowly converting the impulse to fix stuff to making stuff.

hen asked what’s new and exciting on the agenda for the Jewish Federation of Ulster County’s 22nd annual Fall for Art, executive coordinator Arlene Gould reports, “We have some wonderful new first-time artists, as well as some returnees and longtime favorites. It’s an eclectic and interesting mix of media and styles. I’m sure there is something for everyone this year.” She mentions how lovely and roomy their new home is at the Chateau (the event outgrew its former exhibit space) and how hard the staff there works to make everyone feel welcome and comfortable. But basically, the formula for producing an outstanding event is unchanged. “Why change what works for us?” she asks.

Twenty-eight area artists representing a wide range of artistic media will be in-house to sell and talk about their work, including Paola Bari, porcelain; Janet Baskerville, jewelry; Sara Beames, fused glass/jewelry; Biti Besha, jewelry; Miriam Biscelglia, fine art/textiles; Kaete Brittin Shaw, ceramics; Sherri Cohen, jewelry, Judaica, silver; Joan Ensminger, fused glass décor; Stacie Flint, oil and acrylic on canvas; John Franklin, wood art; Alexa Ginsburg, felt soft sculpture and accessories; Madlyn Goldman, collage/mixed media; Glenn Grubard, mixed media; Claudine Heller, acrylic on canvas; Nicole Jurain, pottery; Lorraine LeClair, jewelry; Louise Lefkovits, mixed media; Joanne Martignoni, watercolor; Deborah Mills Thackery, photographic textile prints; Billie Robson, mixed media; Sally Rothchild, pottery; Veronica Russo; colored pencil/graphite; Marysa Sacerdote, jewelry/metalsmith; Mitchell Saler, oil painting; Charlotte Tusch Scherer, mixed media; Nancy Vigna, oil, acrylic, watercolor; Christine Yates, graphics (mixed); Ron Zukor and Liz Horn, fine jewelry. Check out photo images of the artwork to be featured at www.fallforart.org.

For more than two decades, the annual juried art show, sale and fundraising cocktail reception has featured the works of local area artists in a highly successful endeavor to support area not-for-profit organizations, such as the Hudson Valley Food Bank, Family of Woodstock, Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA), People’s Place, Angel Food East, Jewish Family Services and area synagogues, among others. Additionally, a special recipient is selected each year to be honored for their work in the community.

The 2018 committee has chosen the Ulster County SPCA for this honor, and it has been invited to select $1,000 worth of artwork from the show to enhance its facility at 20 Wiedy Road in Kingston, where the prevention of cruelty to animals is achieved by providing temporary shelter and finding adoptive homes for homeless, abused and neglected animals; conducting cruelty investigations; providing low-cost spay/neuter services for cats and dogs and by spaying or neutering all animals offered for adoption.

Come Fall for Art on Thursday, September 6 from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Chateau, located at 240 Boulevard in Kingston Admission costs $50 in advance; reservations will be available online and at the Federation office at One Albany Avenue, Suite G-10 in the Governor Clinton building on Broadway.

Lower East Side in 1900, and his parents were shtetl Jews fleeing the pogroms in Romania who came here in the 1890s.

It was a world of pushcarts and large families. My brother’s task was to fix

things, such as wiring a lamp or repairing a broken chair. I was the only one in the family to go to college. I started at City College when I was 16, and for reasons that are mysterious, I chose Veterinary

Back then, I assume space in New York City was affordable.

In 1966, Manhattan was reminiscent of Kingston now. I could open up a store and not put myself in financial jeopardy, since I was paying $500 a month.

Was there a single event that caused you to devote yourself to making art?

In the mid-1980s, my wife at the time and I went to Washington, DC to see a show dedicated to David Smith’s Voltri series of sculptures, which he made over 30 days at the Spoleto Festival, using an ancient foundry with detritus in it. I was aflame. I went home and made this tabletop sculpture out of shards of iron I’d accumulated in my shop. I brought it to Allan Stone, who had a gallery on 86th and Madison – I’d sold him a lot of American folk art – and he bought it and offered me a show for the next year. The show consisted of abstract steel sculptures.

You then started making the headless figures?

Yes. I had a longing to make figurative

art, and discovered ways to do it. I began making standing figures, each cut out of a board, with small amounts of laminated wood to create features in depth. I then started making heads. I developed my own method of cutting out shapes of very thin laminate boards with a jigsaw and then gluing them together. It’s a 3-D shape created out of flat pieces of wood.

I remove the excess with a carbide burr, which is like a file. It takes a long time to refine the shape. I sandpaper the form and finish it with tung oil. It’s physically demanding, so in the late 1990s I started making the assembled heads.

What are they made out of?

They’re essentially made out of repurposed objects. Usually I stumble upon a single iteration of an object and then order it. For example, I saw some aluminum gym rings in a shop window on Bleecker Street one day, and I was drawn to the shapes. I started buying the rings from a playground company. I have a collection of Odd Fellows stuff from the turn of the 20th century, including depictions of the Eye of God, which is a single eye surrounded by radiating lines.

I take photographs of the graphic images and then size them to apply to different pieces. [Pointing to one of the heads] The eye here is surrounded by false teeth used by dentists, and the torso consists of a necklace mandrel, which jewelers use for fabricating necklaces. The neck is part of an aluminum canister and the features are parts of fiberglass mannequins. The eyes consist of refined cinder glasses, which are tiny glasses tied onto the eyes of people stoking furnaces to protect them from flying sparks; I take out the glass lens and replace it with mica, which I buy from a stove manufacturer supplier. I showed the owner of a company that manufactures fiberglass mannequins for department stores what I’m doing, and now he makes customized parts for me.

How did the drawings come about?

After I completed a head, I would photograph it and make a drawing of it as a way of separating myself from the piece and allow my critical sense to kick in. I was enjoying doing the drawing, so I started making independent drawings. I always started with something that exists in the world, such as the “money men�: people central to American currency, like Abe Lincoln, Alexander Hamilton and Andrew Jackson. I did a series of them, enlarging the image on the currency, translating it onto Mylar and using gold, silver, brass and/or aluminum leaf to

What is your attraction to lead, which you used to make the cross pieces?

It’s a material that’s easy to manipulate, like leather with memory. It takes a shape, and you can push it and adjust the surface in multiple ways.

materials?

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m self-taught. I asked the guy behind the counter in the hardware store how to do something. I taught myself how to solder, braze [a form of soldering with brass], weld, cut metal. I can produce the illusion of precision without being precise.

I can do machining I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t show to a machinist, but it serves my needs.

As a lifelong New Yorker, has it been difficult to adapt to life in Kingston?

When we saw this particular place, which was just raw space, we had an opportunity to help define it for our needs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; plus, we have a magnificent view. I never had a dishwasher, but now we have one, along with radiant heat and a car. These are things I never thought I wanted, but I like them now.

You and Neville have been showing your work for the past year in a store window just down the block, at the corner of Broadway and West Strand. How did that come about?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called Window on West Strand, and each month we alternate our work. I saw a sign in the window that said â&#x20AC;&#x153;For Rent,â&#x20AC;? and I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure if it was for the window or an apartment, so I called, and the owner said we could rent out the window for a price thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s affordable. It resonates with New York in the 1960s: You can rent a commercial space in Kingston, and if it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work out, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to kill yourself. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Lynn Woods â&#x20AC;&#x153;Harris Diamant: A Retrospectiveâ&#x20AC;? opening, Saturday, September 1, 5-7 p.m., through September 23, Saturday/

“Timothy GreenfieldSanders: The Trans List” at Dorsky Museum

Timothy Greenfield-Sanders, Laverne Cox, 2015, inkjet print, courtesy the artist

The Samuel Dorsky Museum at SUNY-New Paltz will show “Timothy Greenfield-Sanders: The Trans List,” an exhibition featuring 40 portraits and a film by photographer and filmmaker Timothy Greenfield-Sanders.

Directed and produced by GreenfieldSanders, the documentary features trans journalist and author Janet Mock conducting interviews with noteworthy figures, including Caitlyn Jenner and Laverne Cox. The film was first broadcast on HBO in December 2016. Also featured is a portrait series exploring the range of experiences lived by Americans who identify as transgender.

The exhibition will be on display from August 29 through December 9 in the Dorsky’s Morgan Anderson and Howard Greenberg Family galleries. A public opening reception will be held on Saturday, September 15 from 5 to 7 p.m. For more information, visit www. newpaltz.edu/museum. The Dorsky Museum is located on the campus of SUNY-New Paltz. The museum will be closed on Labor Day.

Allyson Levy/Scott Serrano exhibit opens Friday at SUNY-Ulster

much in themes, but in how they choose to express themselves? It’s a question posed by Allyson Levy and Scott Serrano regarding a 25-year-long marriage filled with gardening and artmaking. The short answer is that they work separately: Serrano at the kitchen table and Levy in her own studio. For the first time ever, they’ll be exhibiting together at the Muroff Kotler Visual Arts Gallery at SUNY-Ulster.

He says, “The show will be a compareand-contrast of both of us handling similar themes, which tend to be in natural history, botany, entomology, human anatomy and science. It’s the different ways we view and deal with the natural world. I have a rigorous sculpture and drawing background, and I reproduce 19th-century drawing techniques. I invent species and do very laborious drawings that take a year or more to complete...

Allyson’s work is intuitive. She finds natural materials and becomes lost in them. Her process is taking one step at a time into a forest and finding a material and liking it, putting it down and then putting another next to it. She follows patterns and textures and colors, and things develop that way.”

She says, “Basically, we’ve never collaborated on a particular artwork.

Our only collaboration in 25+ years is our two children, and we run and operate a botanical garden/arboretum by the name of Hortus Conclusus. Our garden was the result of us planting things for art material. I chose to plant different types of perennials and shrubs for their petals, seeds and flowers. Scott planted things for his entomological studies. He was doing really fine work on moths, so he was trying to attract a diversity of moths. We were planting the same plants in different parts of our garden! We realized that it made sense for us to come together on the design of the garden, which we’ve been working on for about 18 years.”

The property in the Vly area above Stone Ridge includes native and nonnative trees, shrubs, perennials, unusual edibles, bog plants, hardy cacti and other woodland species. A 7 ½-foot-tall deer fence protects an orchard specializing in rare fruits. “The arboretum has been accredited Level II by ArborNet,” says Serrano. “And we’ve been included in the local Garden Conservancy’s ‘Open Garden Day’ on Sunday, September 23.”

A perusal of the couple’s website, www.botanicalart.us, gives the viewer a sampling of their diverse methods. Levy’s encaustic arrangements of bits and pieces of nature mesmerize in their patterns.

Serrano’s invented island of “Wallaceana” (a homage to naturalist and plant explorer Alfred Russel Wallace, who co-discovered evolution by natural selection with Charles Darwin) is an example of the rich, imaginative detail that the artist employs.

A selection of works by both Serrano and Levy will comprise “Hers & His: 25 Years of Art and Marriage,” to run from August 31 through September 28, with an artists’ opening reception on Friday, August 31 from 5 to 7 p.m. Gallery hours are Monday through Friday, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., closed on college holidays.

MUSIC Bearsville to present 3 this Saturday for Joey Eppard’s birthday

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. The Bearsville Theater is located at 291 Tinker Street in Woodstock.

The flavor of the show is decidedly one of East/West mashup. Cataldi’s compositions and guitar excursions evoke Morricone, John Zorn and non-Western modalities.

Often, these sixth-decade tours feature…you know, the band’s second drummer, the step-grandson of the original road manager and some of the original equipment. Contrast that with the Deep Purple lineup: iconic vocalist and the original Jesus in Superstar Ian Gillian is out front, one of rock ‘n’ roll’s most exciting divas of all time. In the back is the only drummer the band has ever known, the great Ian Paice. Original bassist Roger Glover is there, too. If the legendary Hammond B3 abuser Jon Lord were still alive, I’d bet he’d be there too, and Don Airey is no slouch in his stead.

away the blue blazers and the smoothpatina decadence of the fusion form – the G-spot (Kenny, get it?) – and reconnected fusion to the raw, exploratory, Modernist spirit of Miles Davis’ work in the late ‘60s and early ‘70s. How the eras collide!

Medeski is now a bandmate of Jack DeJohnette in the group Hudson (along with a couple of lightweights named Larry Grenadier and John Scofield, two giants of modern jazz). It was Jack who drummed so memorably on all those classic Davis fusion albums, and Sco who made his name on a run of Miles albums in the ‘70s and early ‘80s, and and and...

Meanwhile, MMW drummer Billy Martin has recently assumed directorship of the Creative Music Studios, the avantgarde musical incubator founded in Woodstock long ago by keyboardist/ composer/vocalist Karl Berger, vocalist Ingrid Sertso and the late, great saxophonist/composer Ornette Coleman (another archetypal figure essential to what MMW was brewing in the ’90s).

Before I continue with this micro-history, can we reflect with gratitude for a moment about how rich the musical scene has become here in the Hudson Valley, and how rich it has always been? Please go to the clubs.

Which clubs? Well, if jazz and fusion are what you dig, then the Falcon, stupid.

Tony Falco’s achievement in Marlboro – two full-sized club venues stocked nightly with local, national and international talent of staggering quality; art galleries and a rock ‘n’ roll museum; sprawling, tiered outdoor decks overlooking the spectacular Marlboro Falls – is such an unlikely story that Hollywood would have laughed Tony right out of the pitch room.

olidifying her reputation as a modern-era interpreter with a keen interest in classic rock, roots music and blues, Joan Osborne scored a major success with her 2017 album Songs of Bob Dylan. The record features early Dylan classics as well as often-overlooked gems.

Osborne will perform these songs at the Mohonk Mountain House on Thursday, September 6 at 9 p.m. She'll be joined by Jack Petruzzelli and the remarkable New Paltz-raised keyboardist Keith Cotton.

Osborne will return to Mohonk to give a talk about her songwriting process the following morning, September 7 at 10:30.

Local residents are welcome to attend either event if they make dining reservations that day. With a reservation, they can access Mohonk's 85 miles of hiking trails, gardens and greenhouse as well as take the history tour at 11:15 a.m. and enjoy afternoon tea & cookies at 4 p.m. Call (855) 883-3798 or visit www.mohonk.com for details.

Simi Stone at Colony on Sunday

ocal songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and performer Simi Stone makes a hometown stop at Colony in Woodstock on Sunday, September 2 at 8 p.m. In recent years, Stone’s band has included an astonishing mix of professional aces. There’s no telling who will be on board, or how many former Bowie sidepeople the band will include.

Tickets cost $15 in advance, $20 on the day of the show. For tickets and additional information, visit www.colonywoodstock.com. Colony is located at 22 Rock City Road in Woodstock.

With two profound full-lengths to its credit, the band Big Thief established itself as one of the most formidable and least predictable Americana/rock bands of the last decade.

The mostly Berklee-schooled quartet featured the exquisite and emotionally turbulent songs of Adrianne Lenker, with high-character harmonies and guitar accents from the brainy to the brawny provided by her longtime

with a serious illness several years ago, where he thought for a while that he might not make it, but pulled through, songs came pouring out of him.

His album, By Time and Gravity, is a stunning piece of work, produced by Kapeluck and Julie Last at her Coldbrook Productions studio, and features many old friends, including Cindy Cashdollar, Harvey Sorgen, Fooch, Hollander and Harden, Frank Campbell, Pete Levin and more.

It starts out rocking, with Kapeluck’s “Death Comes Knockin’,” a look at what comes down the road for us all, but follows with a collection of sweet ballads, love songs and a stunning song outlining the loss of towns to the building of the Ashokan Reservoir. One song tells you how there “ain’t no footprints in the sea,” and another asks his love to “meet me in the middle, where there’s no beginning and no end.” The musicianship is fierce and uncompromising, and Kapeluck’s performance is as honest as it gets.

Tickets cost $10 in advance, $12 at the door. The doors open at 7 p.m.; Brad Cole

Meek’s new self-titled record speaks to the guitarist’s vital contribution to the harmonic depth and complexity of Big Thief ’s progressive roots sound, while it also reveals Meek as a formidable writer of haunted narrative songs in his own right.

Buck Meek visits BSP in Kingston (where Big Thief played a memorable show not long ago) on Sunday, September 9 at 7 p.m. Spirit Family Reunion’s Nick Panken opens. Tickets cost $10 in advance and $12 at the door. For more information, visit www.bspkingston.com. BSP is located at 323 Wall Street in Kingston.

Can’t make it on Thursday?

This Friday, August 31 from 1:30 to 3 p.m., meet up for a Butterfly Walk at Spring Farm.

NIGHT SKY

Ring around the Sun The magnificent 22-degree halo

T

he topic, this final week of August 2018, is: dramatic refraction phenomena in the sky.

In last week’s column, we explored the stunning CZA, an “upside-down rainbow” whose colors are astoundingly intense. And even more amazing than its brilliance is its positioning: A CZA can only appear overhead! While actual rainbows are never high up, the CZA is never low-down!

This week we’re not looking at the CZA, but at one of the most common dramatic apparitions of the day or night: It’s the 22-degree halo. Seen encircling the Sun or the Moon, the 22-degree halo is bigger than people remember or expect – and far more prevalent. In our area, they typically appear at least once a week.

What’s that, you say? You haven’t seen one in years?

That’s because you’re not looking up very often, or else not choosing the right time. In this case, the right time is whenever the sky has delicate high-altitude cirrus clouds, or else sheets of cirrostratus. Both are semi-transparent clouds made of ice crystals rather than water droplets. If you simply look up from time to time, you’ll easily see when the clouds are those thin, high-altitude types. Then look around the Sun. Or Moon.

Perhaps surprisingly, summer offers a profusion of ice-crystal phenomena. Very high up, above 23,000 feet, the air is so cold that ice crystals form, and these are almost always hexagonal. Sunlight hitting them creates “sun dogs” – brilliant white or colored spots to the left or right of the low-down Sun. It also creates the famous 22-degree halo.

The ring is always that same size. Maximally spread open your hand and hold it out at arm’s length, and close one eye. If you place your thumb at the Sun, your pinky-tip will mark the position of the halo; count on it.

Look up when thin, streaky, high-up cirrus clouds are abundant, and you’re sure to catch a beautiful 22-degree halo once or twice a week. It always has a bit of red on the inside of the circle.

Sometimes the other spectral colors are there, too, but that’s somewhat unusual; and in any case, the colors are subdued, not vivid. A halo of the same size forms around the Moon just as often as the version around the Sun. Either way, according to folklore, such a ring portends the arrival of a storm within 24 hours.

There’s some truth to that. A frontal system that may bring rain typically starts by shoving high-altitude clouds over us: the cold ice-crystal clouds. Although it may be a glancing blow with no rain, these cirrus clouds usually give way to lower-altitude clouds, and then even lower and thicker ones that actually deliver the rain. The timeframe is

BOB BERMAN | ALMANAC WEEKLY

Look up when thin, streaky, high-up cirrus clouds are abundant, and you just might catch a beautiful 22-degree halo.

indeed 24 hours or less.

Next time you see a halo, look at the right and leftmost edges, at the three and nine o’clock positions, and look for a bright spot at either place. Yes, that’s a sun dog, or parhelion.

Next, look at the top of the halo and see if there’s a sort of bowl-shaped phenomenon balancing there. If so, you’ve now observed the upper tangent arc. It’s unique in that it changes its appearance depending on how high up the Sun is.

Speaking of rings around bright lights, you might also see them in misty conditions, and then the rings may appear around all lamps, such as streetlights. Unfortunately, colored rings around lights might also appear to you if you’re suffering from glaucoma, or, more benignly, if your eyes are irritated such as from having swum in a chlorinated pool.

How can you tell if the rings-around-lights are really there or if it’s, instead, an eye problem? You could ask a companion if they see the rings, too, of course. But a more satisfying and immediate test is simply to hold out a hand at arm’s length and block out the light. If the ring remains when the light is blocked, it’s really there and everyone is seeing them. But if the ring vanishes the moment you block out the light, then its origin is your own eyes.

Iroquois Festival in Howes Cave What’s so special about the Iroquois Indian Museum? Not just the fact that it is entirely about the Iroquois, but that it was created by Iroquois (Haudenosaunee) tribes themselves.

This place embodies the Iroquois past and present, which I have to believe helps preserve their future.

Whether you’re new to the Iroquois Indian Museum or you have been before, all ages will have a terrific time at the annual Iroquois Festival taking place this Saturday and Sunday, September 1 and 2 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Learn about the rich

culture from music, drumming, dancing and storytelling. See authentic Iroquois art; get a good look at a variety of native animals; all ages will enjoy the crafts; and enjoy sampling Native American cuisine from the Haudenosaunee food vendors.

There are also 45 acres of surrounding land loaded with walking trails. Admission costs $5 to $10.

The Iroquois Indian Museum is located at 324 Caverns Road in Howes Cave.

(Howe Caverns and Secret Caverns are right nearby, if you want to combine visits!) For more information, call (518) 296-8949 or visit www.iroquoismuseum. org/festivals.

ALMANAC WEEKLY

England this season is like seeing a Sonya Tayeh dance piece: a mastery of strength, precision and ease. As a Muslim, fans have even highlighted that aspect in their chants: “Mo Sa-lah lah lah lah, If he’s good enough for you, he’s good enough for me. If he scores another few, then I’ll be Muslim too...”

This weekend, why not channel some of that uniting spirit that Magic Mo brings to the game, and to the world?

He’s an international sensation, but sounds pretty grounded to me: “I spend my spare time with my family.

And practicing my favorite sport – PlayStation.”

On Sunday, September 2 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., head over to Community United Soccer Day at Greenport Town Park.

Enjoy soccer matches for all ages, pickup futsal games (similar to 5x5 soccer), international foods and sack races.

Greenport Town Park is located at 405 Joslen Boulevard in Hudson. To register a soccer team or for more information, contact sanctuarycolumbiacounty@ gmail.com or call (518) 821-8780. This event is hosted by the Columbia County Sanctuary Movement and Hudson Muslim Youth.

Free “Becoming Vegan” classes at Catskill Animal Sanctuary The Catskill Animal Sanctuary in Saugerties will be offering free classes in September to make it easier for people to go vegan and stay vegan.

The Sanctuary has been promoting veganism for 17 years through its culinary programs and farm tours.

“People don’t intend to be cruel when they eat, and they aren’t trying to harm the environment,” says Catskill founder and director Kathy Stevens. “But the Standard American Diet hurts all of us: the animals, our precious planet and our own bodies.

We’re here to support folks who want to move towards healthy, compassionate eating.” s The “Becoming Vegan” events will take place over four consecutive Saturdays in

We’re late into County Fair Season, but until the first quarterback yells “Hike!” in a game that matters, we’re not fully out of the woods. The delights of the Columbia County Fair take center stage from August 29 through September 3 in Chatham. The days and nights are awash in entertainment that will fill the stages, exhibit buildings, barns, a midway and grandstand: the usual mix of the traditional and hedonistic, the ordinary and the surreal. Headlining the Fair this year is the country band Parmalee, who will rock the grandstand in two shows at 3 and 7 p.m. on Sunday. Demolition Derby provides the rock on Wednesday and Thursday nights.

JD HANCOCK

If you have ever been to my home, you would agree that it could be described as, “There appears to have been a struggle.”

ERICA'S CANCER JOURNEY

The vacuum clearer “People can cry much easier than they can change.”

– James Baldwin “Make the best sand castle.”

– Donald Glover

W

ait a second – this glorified dustbuster loses its charge in just 20 minutes? My heart! And just like that, my entire approach to housework shifted.

If you have ever been to my home, you would agree that it could be described as, “There appears to have been a struggle.” I don’t like housework: It’s tedious, it’s never done, and I would rather do literally anything else. I don’t have the budget or desire to get a regular cleaner, and family and friends can only go so far to help me organize better. So I delude myself into thinking that if I just put my mind to it, I can have a clean house in one day. These days also tend to include a lot of resting, finding just the right music and taking Boggle breaks. Also snacks. And that’s before I even get started!

I prefer to complete a task all at once rather than piecemeal, but the teeny-tiny catch is that I never have the tolerance to see it through in one session. Through reduced energy from disease and constant appointments, housework never gets finished, and I feel defeated. And it sits there and builds up some more as I eat my feelings and lose more word games – until I met this vacuum.

“I’ve decided to sell my Hoover... well, it was just collecting dust.”

– Tim Vine My vacuum just gets me (I call her “She”). She knows that I hate doing it, from awkwardly pulling her from her wedged-in spot in the closet to dragging heavy hoses around to force-feeding lint to ineffective rollers after three missed passes. But most of all, she realizes what I can do: 20 minutes. Light, wireless, tubeless, easy detritus disposal and holds a 20. minute. charge. I feel lighter myself, just running it. Total game-changer.

Even if I really really really wanted to vacuum longer, I simply can’t. Oh, well! Since I can now vacuum my entire downstairs in less than 20 minutes, I don’t mind doing it anymore, because it’s so quick now. Lately I’ve even been vacuuming “in case there’s any dirt.” What has become of me?

“My palate is simpler than it used to be. A young chef adds and adds and adds to the plate. As you get older, you start to take away.”

– Jacques Pepin At 48, I am discovering ways to do housecleaning my way. Taking charge of our chores is a place of healing I’ve sought out for decades that seems so effortless for everyone else. I have proven to myself that housework can be tailored to my personality and preferences in other areas, too. One recent shocking discovery still rocking my world is doing medium loads of laundry. Unlike the extra-large bags I’m used to lugging up and down the stairs to the basement, smaller loads are easier to carry, wash, dry, fold and put away. Do I like doing laundry, suddenly? Um, maybe?

My-way tasks are finding me in other ways, too. Doing a few hip-flexor stretches throughout the day strengthens my back and is much better than putting them off until bedtime, when I’m too tired to do them. I replaced dead and dying houseplants with awesome fakes.

“Our dilemma is that we hate change and love it at the same time; what we really want is for things to remain the same but get better.”

– Sydney J. Harris I thought it was just my lot in life to stink at housework, but evolution is strong, with plenty more to come, I’m sure. Determining the stuck places in my resistance gives me the power to understand what my true needs are and adjust accordingly – like owning a wall-mount vacuum. Despite constant cancer curveballs affecting my mind, body and spirit, I am also grateful for these changes bringing more ease into my life. What in your life are you inviting in and releasing out lately?

Head On and Heart Strong!

Love, Erica

WOODSTOCK TIMES PRESENTS

ONE DAY UNIVERSITY SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 10 | 10:00 AM – 12:30 PM Woodstock Playhouse | 103 Mill Hill Rd | Woodstock, NY

EIGHT BOOKS THAT CHANGED AMERICA What 8 books are a must for every lover of literature? And how did each of these groundbreaking works, in its unique way, “change America”? We will discuss such world-renowned classics as Dante’s Divine Comedy and Shakespeare’s Othello, and also cover more recent works including Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird and Joseph Heller’s Catch 22. Plus four more! Professor Luzzi will show how these fascinating works help us understand some of the most pressing concerns today, including the nature of religious faith, questions of personal identity, even the quest for the “American Dream.”

Joseph Luzzi is a Literature Professor at Bard College. He previously taught at Yale University, where he was awarded a Yale College Teaching Prize.

ALMANAC WEEKLY

Aug. 30, 2018

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

Here I go round the mulberry bush

I

finally am getting to eat some ripe mulberries this year, and they were (and are) very, very good. The wait wasn’t because the tree was too young. And anyway, mulberries are very quick to bear fruit – often the year after planting.

I got to eat fruit from my tree this year because resident birds have been kind enough to share some with me. Of course, it was not really kindness on their part. Birds also eat fruit for their juiciness, and the past weeks and weeks of abundant rainfall probably satisfied some of that need. The only other year I had plenty of mulberries – much more than this year – was a few years ago, when 17-year cicadas descended upon here. All summer I awoke to their grating cacophony, but did feast on mulberries as birds feasted on the cicadas.

You might think it late in the season for mulberry fruits, which started ripening back in early July, to be still ripening. The variety name of my tree says it all: Illinois Everbearing.

Not only is this variety everbearing, but it also has a very fine flavor – much better than the run-of-the-mill and ubiquitous wild mulberries, whose fruit is usually too cloying.

Illinois Everbearing’s sweetness is balanced with a bit of refreshing tartness.

Good as it is, Illinois Everbearing’s fruits cannot compare with that of black mulberry.

The “black” refers to the species, Morus nigra. Illinois Everbearing is a hybrid of our native red mulberry, M. rubra, and white mulberry, M. alba, an Asian species that was introduced into our country about 200 years ago, liked it here and mated with the native species. Black mulberry can only be grown in Mediterranean climates, so mine, in a large pot, bears only a handful of berries each year.

Some people contend that black mulberries’ adaptability is more widespread than mild winter climates. I have my doubts, but I am going to graft a branch from my little tree onto some stems of some wild mulberries and see what happens. (The wild mulberries might either be white or red mulberries, or natural hybrids of the two; the color designations have nothing to do with the color of fruit a tree bears.)

I’m happy enough with the long season, good flavor and occasional harvest of Illinois Everbearing. Plus, it’s a pretty tree, and large, so the branches are now beyond the reach of deer, who love to eat mulberry leaves.

Bringing my eyes down from the dark mulberries to ground level, and walking over to the vegetable garden, I take a close look at this year’s basil. Hmm. Very slight yellowing of some of the leaves.

Could it be…? Yes, turning over one of those slightly chlorotic leaves, I see tell-tale purplish-brown spores, indicating downy mildew disease.

A relative newcomer to the garden scene, basil downy mildew (a different pathogen than cucumber downy mildew, grape downy mildew et cetera) arrived on the East Coast in 2007, made it to the West Coast by 2009 and to Hawaii by 2011. It hitchhikes around on infected seed, infected plants and infected leaves.

Some organic fungicides are allowed for controlling the scourge, but my basil mingles so intimately with other plants in the vegetable garden that I don’t consider that an option. Fortunately, other controls are feasible.

One approach would be not to mingle my basil so intimately with other plants. Sunlight is one nemesis of the mildew, as with most fungi. Better air circulation would also lower the humidity around the plants and speed drying of the foliage: also not to the liking of the mildew fungi.

Going one step further, Dr. Meg McGrath of Cornell University suggests growing basil in pots. Plants can be whisked under cover on cool nights, when dew threatens or

LEE REICH | ALMANAC WEEKLY

during rain or cloudy conditions.

Starting off with clean seed or plants would also limit infection – not totally, though.

Although the fungus does not overwinter in cold regions, given good (for the fungus) conditions, it can hitchhike up here over hundreds of miles.

Breeders are hard at work developing resistant varieties of basil, with some success. Among the resistant varieties are Amazel (shouldn’t the name be Amasil or Amazil?), Eleanor, Emma, Everleaf (Basil Pesto Party), Devotion, Obsession and Thunderstruck. I’m growing Amazel and Everleaf this year, and neither shows any sign or symptom of downy mildew.

None of the mentioned varieties are immune to basil downy mildew – just resistant. So, it also pays to give the plants a lot of sunlight and good air circulation, and to consider potted plants, for their mobility.

Fun herb fact: The word “herb” was borrowed from the old French word erbe, which is why we don’t – and the British didn’t, initially – pronounce the H. Scribes in the 15 th century, influenced by their knowledge of Latin, started using the Latin word herba. But still, no one spoke the H. Fast-forward to the mid-19 th century and, all of a sudden, dropping Hs became a marker of low social class among the Brits, so they dropped them.

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 Tues-Saturdays SAUGERTIES ANIMAL days-Saturdays.
