Community calendar of the uncanny Jeffrey Cranor and Joseph Fink take new Night Vale live show to Edinburgh Fringe by way of Bard Spiegeltent

A

s back-to-school supplies give way to Halloween decorations in our local stores, journalists are called upon to ponder the Hudson Valley’s roots in lore of the supernatural, the gruesome and the just-plain-bizarre. The enduring legacy of Washington Irving’s writings will be cited again and again, despite the fact that The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is more an account of a cruel practical joke than a ghost story. Some will note the attraction of our region as the setting for fantasy locales such as Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters in the Marvel Comics Universe, or Brakebills College for Magical Pedagogy in Lev Grossman’s Magicians trilogy. Others will point to famous haunted houses or astronomi-

known ancient origin, or remind us of the proliferation of UFO sightings in the Pine Bush area. We may not be able to compete with some Southern Gothic locales or H. P. Lovecraft’s eldritch-beinginfested New England seaport towns for crepuscular atmosphere, but we’re proud of our share of regional weirdness.

Jeffrey Cranor, a Texas native ensconced since 2014 north of Saugerties, looks elsewhere than occult sites for inspiration when h e ’s writing strange tales for Welcome to Night Vale, the wildly popular podcast series that he co-creates with Joseph Fink, who lives in Red Hook. Sometimes described as what the News from Lake Wobegon would sound like if it had been scripted

by Stephen King, Night Vale uses the mundane format of a community radio station to convey its accounts of highly disquieting goings-on in a small desert town where every conspiracy theory comes true. To feed his imagination, Cranor says, he likes to “scour community calendars” in small local newspapers.

“Some of what gave rise to Night Vale

was growing up in a suburb of Dallas.

I got my love for small-town weirdness from that.” After moving to New York, he quickly discovered that news sources of the same type were available here: “Aside from not so much focus on football, they’re pretty similar,” he claims. Even during the years that he lived in hipster Brooklyn, Cranor says, he could find neighborhoods that were “tiny enclaves,” with listings for knitting clubs at the local library: just the sorts of places where terrifying things aren’t supposed to happen.

In Night Vale, the librarians are monsters who abduct children, giving rise to a student guerrilla movement led by a 14-year-old militant book-lover named Tamika Flynn. (More on her later.)

Cranor recounts spotting a notice in an upstate paper for what turned out to be a local theater production, but all it said was a date, time, location and the words “Curtains for Myron.” “All I could think of was, ‘Poor man, what are we doing to him?’” he recalls.

Improbably, most of Cranor’s years of theatrical training came with a theater collective called the New York NeoFuturists, whose aesthetic philosophy is based on the concept of “nonillusory theater”: “All of our characters are ourselves. All of our stories really happened…We do not aim to ‘suspend the audience’s disbelief,’ but to create a world where the stage is a continuation of daily life,” reads the Neo-Futurist’s online manifesto. Cranor has been involved with the group since 2006, regularly writing for and acting in its weekly short play series, Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind.

It was there that he met Joseph Fink, as well as many of the actors who appear in Night Vale, including Cecil Baldwin, who portrays the show’s narrator, broadcaster Cecil Palmer.

The highly illusory Welcome to Night Vale is a different kettle of fish altogether from the Neo-Futurist approach. Set somewhere in the Southwest – presumably not far from Area 51 – the little town “exists in our own timeline in the real world, but it’s hard to get in or out,” Cranor says. (There are some exceptions, such as local celebrity Lee Marvin, who apparently never ages beyond his 30th birthday.) Night Vale has a bowling alley with a portal to a subterranean realm of tiny people beneath one of its alleys and a dog park that no one besides the ubiquitous “mysterious hooded figures” is allowed to enter. Blackops helicopters drone overhead, a flock of angels resides with an old woman who lives on the edge of town and no one is allowed to believe that mountains exist. A terrifying Glow Cloud that once appeared over the town, raining down animal carcasses and demanding to be worshipped, was soon elected president of the Night Vale School Board. And so on.

Straddling Absurdism, horror, smalltown journalism, dystopian science fiction and Americana, Cranor and Fink’s style of collaborative writing for podcast might be described as a new north-of-the-border form of magical realism, since inexplicable circumstances including mass killings by otherworldly forces are conveyed by our man Cecil with the same deadpan delivery as the local traffic report (Street-Cleaning Day is particularly lethal, as is the position of radio station intern). Sometimes it sounds like poetry. There’s plenty of satire about the modern world, science, politics and economics inserted between the lines as well, and the overall effect is grimly

To feed his imagination, Cranor says, he likes to “scour community calendars” in small local newspapers.

Let’s all go on doing our parts to keep the Hudson Valley a source of inspiration for them, as a place where being strange and inexplicable is just part of our everyday routines.

PLAY

EUGENE O’NEILL’S ANNA CHRISTIE ON STAGE AT CERTIFIED MARINA IN CONNELLY

V

eteran producer and director Bruce Grund has wanted to bring Eugene O’Neill’s Anna Christie to Ulster County for 20 years, he says. With a penchant for theatrical works that deal with controversial social issues – racism, sexism, alcoholism, drug and gun violence – he mounts productions that provoke as well as entertain audiences. His time for doing Anna Christie has come. Grund aptly sets the waterfront stage in an open-air pavilion on the Rondout Creek in Connelly to bring TOM ANDRIELLO Jon Lee and Caitlin Connelly in Anna Christie the romantic drama to life.

Written nearly 100 years ago, this revival of Anna Christie causes theatergoers to consider what has changed in the dynamics of relationship and what has not. The storyline is older than a mere century: the failures of parenting, a young woman turns to prostitution, men – young and old – struggle to justify their existence, a spark of promise in romantic love, unresolved pain up against all hope. We’ve heard this tale before.

When O’Neill turned his masterful talent towards addressing such issues in 1921, his work was rewarded with a Pulitzer Prize for Drama and continued to be lauded into the 21st century. Now Grund and his adept cast of five characters have contemporized the play to “fit the Romantic and not-so-Romantic realism of today.”

With logistical changes like employing a female bartender and setting the action at a marina, rather than on a barge, to including finer details – a TV above the bar, the use of a cell phone – Anna Christie becomes recognizable to postmoderns who find themselves suddenly, painfully caught up in #MeToo considerations. Anna has left the farm where she was raised and abused by relatives, and she has escaped her fate as a prostitute when she shows up to find her father, Chris Christopherson, hoping to rest and recuperate and build a new life somehow.

“She meets a man who sees her in a different light because she keeps all this a secret. Eventually all hell breaks loose,” says Caitlin Connelly, who follows such greats at Greta Garbo, Ingrid Bergman, Celeste Holm and Uma Thurman in the role of Anna. “The story is still current. Though contemporized, we didn’t have to do much. It’s interesting that O’Neill’s choice was to have Anna Christie drive the action in the play – in this day and age, especially with the #MeToo movement – it’s very powerful and human. I think a lot of people can connect to the conflict of wanting to be the woman you are and being held back by misogyny and society in general, but also being able to find one’s self, to change and to forgive.

“A huge part of this is the sea and the fog that makes her clean again,” says Connelly. “She has this revelation before the love of her life enters the stage. The sea has brought him there. It’s a tumultuous relationship. She has so much painful history, and he, Matt Burke, has so much painful ignorance. But they’re both intensely passionate people. They’re as happy as two people in a realistic situation can be at the end. It’s not ‘riding off into the sunset.’ Uplifting or not, it is what it is, like real life.”

When asked if they have managed to project a future for their characters, John Lee – he plays the young sailor, Matt Burke – says, “O’Neill was criticized because this was his only play that had a ‘happy ending.’ I don’t think it does; I think it’s openended. It’s left to ‘Will the exact same history repeat itself with him and his wife?’ We all wonder what will happen, if love will endure and they’ll make the relationship work, or will it fall apart and he’ll just not come home.”

“When we discussed the #MeToo movement and the theme of an empowered woman taking control of her own life, there were original bits where Anna apologized for who she was,” Lee says. “What makes it more contemporary is that she asks me to accept who she is. That had to be okay with her and with me. I think that’s important.”

“It’s definitely the kind of show that has you asking these questions,” says Patricia Seholm, who tends bar as Lori, not Larry.

“You leave talking to the person you came with about what that relationship will be. It’s my favorite kind of play: to leave with a conversation for the car. I’m a 20-something-year-old. I’m more drawn in by the message, the #MeToo, which is a big deal right now.”

Rich Wronkoski, who plays Anna’s recalcitrant father, Chris Christopherson, says, “I was surprised watching old television movies to find this character ‘Old Chris’ pop up in plays that had to do with the sea and ‘fellers’ on the sea in the bunkhouse or the coal-stoking room. It’s a lot of fun to be able to play a role like this.” The history of men being connected to the sea and the distress brought on by separation of husbands and wives are examined. “It’s a theme of family – dysfunctional family. They come together somehow in the fourth act, and you ask. ‘What is their future?’ What’s the future of any dysfunctional family?

They choose to be together and move on, but you never know.”

None of the cast members have done Anna Christie before. When asked what is most compelling for each of them, Lee suggests that the romance is what will bring people out to see the play. “I think that the interpersonal dynamics, the family, all that stuff is very relatable.” Adele Calcavecchio is the salty Marthy, an aging, wharf-dwelling sometimes-love-interest who wears jeans instead of a “dingy calico skirt.” She says, “People I speak with are fascinated with the idea of doing Eugene O’Neill and with Bruce’s idea of doing it here on the waterfront. He’s famous for this kind of thing. It intrigues people.” Wronkoski agrees: “For me, Eugene O’Neill is the hook to bring people to this play. You don’t find Eugene O’Neill put on every other weekend anywhere.”

“I think O’Neill was 100 years ahead of his time,” says Grund. “So much is applicable for today.”

Wend your way across the Wurts Street Bridge and down the hillside to the Certified Marina for this timely production.

Ye Olde Portside Inn restaurant and bar, recently opened at the Marina, will serve before, during intermissions and after the show.

A question-and-answer session immediately following the performance will give audience members the opportunity to express their own feelings and continue the conversation with the cast and producer. The second Friday performance on September 14 is a “Pay-What-You-Can” night. Seating is limited to 50 within the waterside pavilion, so reservations are highly recommended. Please note: Credit cards will not be accepted for the theater; only cash and checks.

Welcome to Night Vale first aired in 2012, and new episodes are still released twice a month. The franchise has expanded into books and touring standalone live shows – five of the latter so far, the latest of which has just finished a run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

The newest live production, titled A Spy

in the Desert and drawing on espionagethriller tropes, had its world premiere in the Spiegeltent at Bard SummerScape last month – the co-creators’ first foray into using the cultural venue so close to Fink’s home. Cranor calls the Bard crew “delightful people to work with,” and praises the advantages of not having to travel a long way home at the end of a long

day of mounting a brand-new production.

The actors – who include Baldwin, Symphony Sanders as teen rebel Tamika Flynn and Meg Bashwiner as the Proverb Lady and Deb, the Sentient Patch of Haze – only had to commute back to New York City.

Lumberyard opens $7.2 million arts facility in Catskill

F

ollowing an inaugural summer season of performances at various area venues, Lumberyard Contemporary Performing Arts launched its first fall/winter season in its new permanent Catskill home last Saturday. The Lumberyard complex consists of the main building at 62 Water Street in Catskill – recently completed for use as a theater, film and television soundstage and artist residency space – and three large adjacent structures along Catskill Creek, yet to be addressed.

The $7.2 million, 7,000-square-foot facility that opened on September 1 will have multiple purposes. As an incubator for the performing arts, it will host artist residencies that allow performers the technical support they need to develop new works. As a performance venue, the 400-seat theater on the first floor will feature both acclaimed performers and work-in-progress residency showcases. And without fixed seating in the theater and its interior being column-free, the space can double as a soundstage for film and television shoots and serve as a studio for postproduction work.

The new home of Lumberyard Contemporary Performing Arts was once the Dunn Builders’ Supply Corporation, established in Catskill in 1946 and in business until 2015.

The site functioned as a lumberyard prior to that, dating back to the 19th century. Curved beams from the old barrel roof of the Dunn Builders’ garage were salvaged and repurposed throughout the building, and an interior courtyard was constructed from a former storage area for lumber, with its original 19th-century shelves intact. The space will be an exhibition area for sculpture and other local visual art, as well as a site for musical performances and community events. Twelve rooms on the second floor will house 20 to 25 artists in residency annually.

Lumberyard Contemporary Performing Arts is a not-for-profit organization based in New York City, where its founders plan to maintain a presence in addition to the Catskill expansion. “We help artists make the work they imagine” is the philosophy under executive and artistic director Adrienne Willis. The organization was founded in 2000 as the American Dance Institute, based in a Maryland suburb. Over time, as its mission evolved beyond dance to focus on all contemporary performing arts,

a rebranding became necessary.

The economic effect of Lumberyard on Catskill is expected to be significant, with the new contemporary arts center bringing a projected $13 million into the area through 150 permanent jobs and an estimated 10,000 visitors annually.

Lumberyard joins a Greene County creative renaissance that already includes the 84-seat Bridge Street Theatre in Catskill, which presented its first performance in 2016; the Hudson Valley Dance Festival, founded in 2013, held annually in a 115-year-old warehouse at Catskill Point; and the Catskill Mountain Foundation, founded in 1998, which recently hosted choreographer Twyla Tharp for a monthlong residency in Tannersville.

The Lumberyard arts center was financed in part through a $5 million impact investment loan from the Rudolf Steiner Foundation in August of 2017. Governor Andrew Cuomo pledged $800,000 for the project in grants and state funding, and US senator Charles Schumer (D-NY) has said that he was interested in helping the organization find federal grants.

While the completion of the main building marks the end of Phase One for the project, Phase Two has yet to begin. The Lumberyard project will ultimately be a $15 million multiyear effort. Phase Two will address the three structures across the street from the main building, along the banks of Catskill Creek. One building is unstable and will be razed for parking and a community garden. Another is slated to become offices and a dance studio, with the third to be renovated and possibly house a restaurant or other commercial development. All of those efforts will be done in collaboration with the Village of Catskill and in line with the municipality’s Downtown and Waterfront Revitalization Strategy.

The opening season kicked off last weekend with a sold-out gala featuring Scottish actor Alan Cumming, tap-dance icon Savion Glover and jazz drummer Marcus Gilmore.

On Saturday, September 8 at 7 p.m., a bevy of regional actors working under the direction of Mary Lois Adshead will perform autobiographical pieces on the stage at Boughton Place in Highland: the actual, physical stage once used by Jacob Moreno, the founder of psychodrama and godfather of Playback Theater, the dramaas-therapy institution that is known the world over but originated here in Ulster County.

Whereas Moreno and Playback exploit the plasticity of drama toward psychologists’ ends, a long line of great writers and monologists have committed to personal psychology and the experience of selfhood as a quarry for material. If only Spalding Gray could have lived to see how popular his mode would become only a few years after his death, here in the NPR age.

I doubt it would have changed anything.

Like Gray’s legendary performances, Adshead’s production blurs the lines between person and performer, memory

and memoirist, internal and external history. Actors include Doug Motel, Terri Mateer, Sonia Terri, Jerry Wintrob, Mary Ann Forgey, Dana Page and Johanna Winer. For more information, visit www. boughtonplace.org.

Monothon madness

C

ould your living space use a bit of livening up, via the addition of some original artworks at affordable prices?

You’re in luck: The Woodstock School of Art (WSA) is about to launch its third annual Woodstock Monoprint Invitational Exhibition. It debuts with a reception from 3 to 5 p.m. this Saturday, September 8 and stays open through October 6. The monoprints are all in the same eight-by-ten-inch format and priced to sell at $200. All proceeds benefit the WSA’s Angeloch Building Fund.

The exhibition is the culmination of work produced by more than 60 contemporary artists during a weeklong artmaking frenzy affectionately dubbed the Monothon. Four master printers – Anthony Kirk, Lisa Mackie, Kathy Caraccio and WSA president Kate McGloughlin – spearheaded the group of artists.

“Every year the Monothon gets easier and the curating gets harder. These wonderful artists arrived at their workstations, got some love from their press assistants and master printers and nearly blew the roof off the Graphics and Works on Paper studios. They made enough monoprints for ten shows, and I grabbed the selected prints before somebody else did,” reports McGloughlin. “I am so honored to have this extraordinary work in the Robert H. Angeloch Gallery here at the Woodstock School of Art. Each piece stands on its own, and collectively they offer us a gorgeous tapestry of sensitivity and strength, color and line, and personal marks from some of the best artists working in and around Woodstock today.”

It could be an auspicious time to begin collecting, or build on what you’ve already got. Come to the opening bash, or stop in during regular Angeloch Gallery hours of 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday (closed on September 19). WSA is located at 2470 Route 212 in Woodstock.

Father Divine referred to Ulster County as the Promised Land.

HISTORY

“FATHER DIVINE IN ULSTER COUNTY” TALK ON SUNDAY AT BEVIER HOUSE

A

mong the most colorful sometime-residents of Ulster County was the charismatic religious leader known to his followers, who once numbered in the millions, as Father Divine (1876?-1965). For decades, his International Peace Mission Movement owned numerous properties in our neck of the woods – which he called the Promised Land – including communal homes and farms. The first was acquired in New Paltz in 1935, the last, in Kingston, sold off in 1985; many were clustered around High Falls.

Historians are divided as to whether this controversial preacher can be fairly characterized as a pioneer of the Civil Rights movement. Father Divine (who called himself the Reverend Major Jealous Divine; his actual birth name is disputed) opposed racial segregation, lobbied to outlaw lynching and helped many black Americans establish self-sustaining businesses during the Great Depression. But he also admonished his followers not to identify as black or white people, nor to accept any form of public assistance. And he required them to live segregated by gender, preaching celibacy along with abstinence from drinking, smoking and profanity.

Much of Father Divine’s message aligned with the “New Thought” philosophy attributed to 19th-century “mind cure” advocate Phineas Quimby and popularized in the mid-20th century as “positive thinking” by Norman Vincent Peale. The Harold Arlen/Johnny Mercer pop song “Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive” (1944) was inspired by one of Father Divine’s sermons, according to Mercer. So influential was the movement even after its leader’s death that cult leader Jim Jones – the same guy who gave us “drinking the Kool-Aid” as a cultural meme – tried to claim the “mantle” of Father Divine at an International Peace Mission banquet in 1971, only to be booted off the premises by Father Divine’s widow.

A few enclaves of the movement’s shrinking group of followers yet remain, in Pennsylvania and on Long Island. Here in Ulster County, it’s just an intriguing bit of history, already forgotten by many. But High Falls historian Richard Rydant has researched the life and deeds of Father Divine for three decades, serving as a consultant and onscreen interviewee for the 2017 documentary Father’s Kingdom by director Lenny Feinberg. Rydant will share his knowledge this Sunday in a lecture sponsored by the Ulster County Historical Society (UCHS).

“The Story of Father Divine in Ulster County” begins at 3 p.m. on September 9 at the Bevier House Museum, located at 2682 Route 209 in Marbletown.

Admission free to UCHS members and costs $10 for non-members. For more info, call (845) 377-1040 or visit www.ulstercountyhs.org.

Spring, Woodstock isn’t the node from which current artistic movement is necessarily radiating. “I noticed that many are not from the area but rather moved from an urban area, often New York City, for different reasons,” Calabrese writes in his juror’s statement for the exhibition catalog. “There is a sense of nostalgia for the urban conflicting with a desire to escape from it, making the Hudson Valley appear almost as a sort of promised land, a territory that is facing dramatic changes and challenges in order to harmonize the ecosystem of old and new communities

that defines its own history and identity.”

He cautions, “We should also consider why these artists left the city in the first place. Considering the widespread gentrification happening across the boroughs in New York City, will we eventually see the same thing happen in the Hudson Valley?” These are questions worth raising, even as we cheer on the economic revitalization that happens when artists bring their energies to Rust Belt communities in need of a facelift.

“Urbanity, rurality and dreamscapes” are the themes under investigation in

HISTORIC HUGUENOT STREET

TRADITION

Old New Paltz Stone House Day on Huguenot Street this Saturday

F

or nearly six decades, a Battle of the Stone House Days raged annually between the mid-Hudson’s two towns most renowned for their Colonial Era stone dwellings, New Paltz and Hurley. Both communities had serious historical bragging rights: New Paltz’s Huguenot Street has long been considered the oldest continuously occupied street in America with its original houses, while Hurley, originally called Nieuw Dorp, was settled about a decade earlier and has some older structures. Fortunately, each town’s special day took place on a different date, and serious heritage tourists could easily attend both.

More than ten years have passed since the last Old New Paltz Stone House Day was held on Huguenot Street. A special revival of the formerly annual event has been scheduled for Saturday, September 8 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., celebrating the 340th anniversary of the settling of New Paltz by 12 French Huguenots – a/k/a the Duzine – in 1678. Seven historic stone houses will be open for public tours or viewing.

Co-sponsored by Historic Huguenot Street and the Reformed Church of New Paltz, this new Old New Paltz Stone House Day will have a stronger focus on the diversity of Hudson Valley history by highlighting the many cultures that have had an impact on New Paltz and Ulster County, including African, Dutch, English, Esopus Munsee and French.

Interpreters in period garb, reenactments, performances, Colonial games and vendor demonstrations will bring history to life throughout the day. A Revolutionary War Era encampment by the 5th NY Regiment and the 1st Ulster County Militia will include demonstrations of musket-firing, candlemaking, sewing and blacksmithing. Other Colonial crafts to be demonstrated include chair-caning, weaving on a four-harness counterbalance loom, cooperage and open-fire cookery.

The 77th NY Regimental Balladeers will perform songs of the Antebellum and Civil War period on fiddles, guitars, banjos, harmonicas, tin whistles, harp, bodhran, bones, bass, trumpet and dulcimer. The Ministers of Apollo will present a program of Early American Music in 18th-century dress. And, just to show that there are no hard feelings, the Hurley Heritage Society has been invited to set up an information booth where visitors can learn about Huguenot Street’s connection to Hurley and its history.

Admission to Old New Paltz Stone House Day costs $20 for adults, $15 for seniors, students, youth aged 13 to 17, active military members and veterans, $10 for kids aged 6 to 12 and is free for children 5 and under. For all the info, including a map of the Huguenot Street Historic District pinpointing where each performer and activity will be found, visit www.huguenotstreet. org/old-new-paltz-stone-house-day-information.

New Hudson Valley bird guide Kathryn J. Schneider, a Hudson Valley native, has spent decades studying the behavior, ecology and distribution of birds.

An award-winning author, teacher and conservationist, she is a past president of the New York State Ornithological Association. She’ll be making a couple of ap-

pearances in the area soon to talk about her just-published field guide, Birding the Hudson Valley: at Oblong Books & Music in Rhinebeck on Friday evening, September 14 and at the John Burroughs Natural History Society (JBNHS) annual get-together at the Hudson River Maritime Museum on Saturday afternoon, September 15.

Although an estimated 400,000 Hudson Valley residents feed, observe or photograph birds, the vast majority of New Yorkers enjoy their birdwatching activities mostly around the home.

Schneider’s engaging new guide provides encouragement for bird enthusiasts to expand their horizons. More than just a

collection of bird-finding tips, the book explores Hudson Valley history, ecology, bird biology and tourism. It describes sites in every county in the region, including farms, grasslands, old fields, wetlands, orchards, city parks, rocky summits, forests, rivers, lakes and salt marshes. Designed for birders of all levels of skill and interest, Birding the Hudson Valley is beautifully illustrated and contains directions to more than 80 locations, as well as useful species accounts and hints for finding the region’s most sought-after birds. To order the book online, visit https://amzn.to/2MZT8mO. Schneider will be the special guest speaker at the JBNHS luncheon at the Maritime Museum, located at 50 Rondout

The coming of autumn means rich pickings for birders, as the North’s feathery summer visitors flock together to head for warmer climes. While the John Burroughs Natural History Society (JBNHS) gears up for its annual luncheon at the Hudson River Maritime Museum on September 15, where master birder Kathryn Schneider will be unveiling her new Birding the Hudson Valley guidebook, the group is also going to squeeze in a couple of guided field trips this weekend, with more scheduled for later in the season.

The Burroughs Sanctuary in West Park will be the site for a Fall Migration bird walk this Saturday, September 8 from 8 a.m. until noon. After time spent on the improved trail system (rated as easy-to-moderate) searching for transient songbirds, participants can explore Slabsides and learn more about the interesting and influential life of the organization’s famous namesake. Contact trip leader Mark DeDea (forsythnature@ aol.com) to register. Follow the “Path through History” signs at the intersection of Floyd Ackert Road and Route 9W in West Park and turn west onto Floyd Ackert Road (at the Global Palate restaurant) and continue for .8 mile, then left on Burroughs Drive for .3 miles to meet up with the group.

The next morning, Sunday, September 9, Christine Guarino (chrissy.guarino@gmail. com) will lead a bird walk titled Grasspipers in the Black Dirt. The group will meet at 7 a.m. at the Jolly Onion parking lot at 625 Glenwood Road in Pine Island. The Black Dirt region of Orange County is wellregarded as a fall grasspiper hotspot. Explore farm fields and sod farms and, if time allows, visit the Wallkill River National Wildlife Refuge for other migrant shorebirds and waders.

JBNHS outings later in the month include an Open Discovery walk at the Millbrook Preserve on Saturday, September 22 at 9 a.m., led by Lynn Bowdery (lynn@bowderys. com) and a Sparrow Walk at the Farm on Sunday, September 30 at 7 a.m., led by Peter Schoenberger (pdsis@yahoo.com). For the full schedule of upcoming JBNHS field trips, visit https://bit.ly/2wrfVOM. Anyone interested in the purpose of the Society – “to foster the study and enjoyment of natural history and to encourage conservation of natural resources” – is eligible for membership. Present membership ranges from professional biologists to amateur observers, and includes a wide span of ages.

Included in your membership is a bimonthly newsletter, The Chirp. Dues are $15 per year for either an individual or a family. Visit the JBNHS website for more information at http://jbnhs.org.

Buck Meek of Big Thief plays BSP on Sunday

Yo la Tengo plays BSP on Wednesday

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 collaborator Buck Meek. Those of us who adore this band all hope that Big Thief isn’t calling it quits, but the two principal members are clearly out there doing their own things, releasing solo records and mounting tours.

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

fter 20-plus years of keeping one ear open to them while the other ear is trying to figure out Maurice Ravel, I have no idea whether or how much to like Yo la Tengo. A lot of people seem to feel this way. How could the casual follower ever really know? The issue is not just the diversity of sounds associated with the name; it is the axis of that diversity, a polarity that runs from a sweet and homely, VU-template indie-pop with surprising range and reference on one side and an uncompromising and elitist New York hipster lo-fi noisiness and drone on the other. The premise of their lasting prestige and their fixed proximity to big success outside their core demographic appears to be this: The latter earns the former. One must work for the sweet nut of pop in the Modernist art shell. Take a noise bath, you get a sweet treat. Just as Lou promised. Anything less would be, as Robert Frost said of free verse, playing tennis without a net.

Finally, I submit to their greatness, the vibrancy and challenge of their aesthetic, the depth and fertility of their vein. My little opinion is crushed under their tidal historical relevance. Not only that: They are kind of back on a roll. The new one, There’s a Riot Going On, is a delight of dwelling ambient pop; other recent records such as Fade and Stuff like That There are as impressive for the bounty of their songwriting as for their studio artistry. They’re records that sound better and better. In the end, I feel about Yo la Tengo roughly the way I feel about the City of Seattle: I like it, but it doesn’t think much of me. That Yo la Tengo matters is not at issue; it is assumed.

In yet another crowning booking, BSP presents an evening with Yo la Tengo in the big back-room theater on Wednesday, September 12 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets cost $35 in advance. You can score them in person at Rocket Number Nine and Outdated in Kingston, Jack’s Rhythms in New Paltz, Darkside Records in Poughkeepsie and the Woodstock Music Shop, or online at www.bspkingston.com.

Real Estate to play Helsinki Hudson Stringent clinicians of the new jangle, the low-affect prerogatives and the dope insinuations of college rock, Real Estate represents some kind of very pure, untainted expression of what we’ve always meant by indie guitar-pop, from REM to Pavement through the flowering of the aughts and into its commercially reduced present, where urban America’s more expensively educated ears have tuned into the global, the non-patriarchal and the electronic at the expense of college-boy slack and Fenders, for the most part.

FESTIVAL

SOUNDSCAPE AT BASILICA HUDSON NEXT WEEKEND

O

ne of the region’s most substantial, current and challenging music and art festivals, Basilica’s SoundScape takes place on the weekend of September 14 through 16 at the repurposed industrial art space by the river in Hudson.

Once again, the promoters reveal themselves as fearless, ambitious and undaunted by logistics and coordination.

Consider, for example, one of the centerpieces of this year’s weekend: an orchestral piece composed by Stephen O’Malley of the ambient sludge-rock band Sunn O))) performed by Bard College’s 76-piece The Orchestra Now on Friday night.

Other Friday performances include solo piano works by Grouper and a reading by poet Hanif Abdurraqib. Saturday’s lineup will include Lightning Bolt, a one-time collaboration between the Haxan Cloak and Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ Nick Zinner and much more. “There will be a lot of amazing things happening at this year’s SoundScape: things that will only happen at this particular event,” said Basilica SoundScape co-presenter Brandon Stosuy of the Creative Independent. “We like to avoid the typical festival rut, so we pushed to come up with other things, like site-specific installations by visual artists Laleh Khorramian and Jungil Hong, blended sets by Lightning Bolt and Hisham Akira Bharoocha’s new project Yokubari, a site-specific dance project by FlucT.” Basilica SoundScape aims to encourage attendees to explore the City of Hudson during their stay, and will again feature a satellite event in a partner performing arts venue. 2018’s satellite event will be hosted by Basilica collaborators Second Ward, and will feature a show of object, video and sound work by art duo Trouble, who return to Hudson for the first time since their large-scale installation as part of Basilica Hudson’s 24-Hour Drone event in 2017.

Weekend tickets for Basilica SoundScape are available from $75 plus fees, or $125 including camping. Day tickets are available from $40. For the full (and quite complex) lineup, tickets and all additional information, visit http://basilicahudson. org. Basilica is located at 110 South Front Street in Hudson.

Guitarist Daniel Lippel at Unison this Sunday The supply of classical music native to the guitar is small compared to that of keyboard instruments. Classical guitarists are perhaps perforce radicals: adapters, transcribers and imperialists for the repertoire of their instrument. They band in quartets and ravage the oeuvres of other instruments. They fuse – with pop, with

spoken-word, with electronics. A good pianist can languish for decades in Romantic genius and never feel compelled to take on the difficulties and slim commercial margins of 20 th- and 21 st-century serious music; guitarists are Modernists of necessity – crossover artists simply because their axe has done so much of its damage on the other side of the high/low divide.

The exceptional guitarist Daniel Lippel owns the kind of career unique to, or at least typical of, the gut-string master.

Consider three of his most recent releases: the music of Minimalist icon Steve Reich performed on electric guitar and sounding pretty damn edgy; a new guitar sonata by living composer Andrew Violette that seems to find a middle ground among Bach and Jobim and Berg (beautiful); and a collection of songs by serious music’s greatest and most prolific songwriter, Franz Schubert. Lippel is all over the map. I think he likes it that way.

The reenergized and hopping Unison Arts in New Paltz continues its classical guitarist series with Daniel Lippel on Sunday, September 9 at 6 p.m. Tickets cost $20 general admission, $18 for seniors $15 for Unison members and $10 for students.

two entrepreneurial businesses: the coffeehouse North River Roasters and a healthy-foods-at-affordable-prices café called Earth, Wind & Fuego.

The Poughkeepsie Underwear Factory on North Cherry Street is a three-story brick structure, built in 1874. It once defined the social and economic fabric of the neighborhood, where various manufacturing enterprises employed local residents. From William S. Patten’s Poughkeepsie Live Oak Leather Manufactory to William Paulding’s Cooperage, industry throve as the town grew, but the building was vacant from the 1980s until 2017.

Occupied by the Queen Undermuslin Company in 1904, the building became known by its current assignation: the Poughkeepsie Underwear Factory. That business' founders, Robert Stuart and J. C. MacLean, had progressive leanings: to create a sanitary, up-to-date physical plant for their employees, who, it’s said, “were involved in resolving business disputes.”

E Open 7 days from noon.

845.679.8899 Located on The Bearsville Theater Complex, two miles west of Woodstock Village Green.

arth, Wind & Fuego is the pop-up café that uses HRH’s Poughkeepsie Open Kitchen at the Factory five days a week to serve breakfast and lunch. This is a shared-use commercial kitchen with affordable dry and cold storage available for members like Jen Herman and Madeline Henriquez, the brains and energy behind Earth, Wind & Fuego. From Monday through Friday, they operate a for-profit business offering healthy foods at entirely affordable prices to the community. They also consult with people on

how to shop for and cook foods that may not be familiar.

“Our services include catering, meal preparation and the pop-up restaurant that runs weekdays for breakfast and lunch,” Henriquez explains. “All of our food is gluten-free and no-soy; all of the meats are free of hormones and antibiotics; and we source locally from farms and other businesses in the Valley.

Our goal is to increase awareness of what healthy food is and to make sure it is accessible to people.”

They came to open the café after experiencing different health issues.

“We had to cut a lot of things out of our

diet, and it was a hard transition for us,” Herman says. “It became easier, and we thought it would be great if we could help other people do this.”

Early on, they realized that eating well is not about “dieting,” but rather is a whole lifestyle change. “What would it look like if we were to incorporate a business and help people bring that to fruition for themselves?” Henriquez wondered.

“Collectively, we have over 20 years in social services and have worked in nine counties. We put together everything we learned, from case management to advocacy to one-on-one support. We combined it with nutrition in a for-profit

what those expectations are, between employee and employer. Their first experience is from a company that’s owned and led by women; they’re learning what power looks like. We hope we’re empowering them to use their voice to speak up and create change.”

“We feel, if you treat people the way they should be treated, they will absolutely excel,” Herman says.

Earth, Wind & Fuego also hosts a monthly event called Fiesta Friday, which will happen this Friday, September 7, from 7 to 10 p.m. It will feature an open mic hosted

then we started distributing at Adams Fairacre Farms and grew from there. I started volunteering in 2017, when the coffeehouse here opened. I’m a Poughkeepsie native and had recently graduated from NYU. Feza showed me a little bit about roasting, and I was hooked. We talked about our vision for Poughkeepsie and why he wanted to be here.

“This neighborhood – Middle Main, the area not on the riverfront, which has gotten a lot of love, restaurants and stuff going on down there, and not Main Street by Vassar College, which is heavily trafficked – this area has been neglected by businesses because the foot traffic is lacking and the stigma around the neighborhood was quite alive.

Revitalizing is a huge part of what we are as a business, by bringing in people who might not come here for any other reason – to show them that opening a business here is viable.

North River Roasters sources only organic, ethically grown beans through importers who buy from farms that provide fair wages and use sustainable farming methods.

At NYU, Hughes was a classical flute performance major for two years. “I ended up switching to Nutrition and Public Health: something I’m really passionate about, especially in ‘food deserts.’ Walking around here, I tried to get a gallon of milk when we were out one time. The corner store had no milk, only fruity, sugared beverages. And we wonder why people have deficiencies.”

“We want everyone to feel welcome here,” Hughes says. “We keep our prices as low as possible. We want it to not be this posh, unreachable standard for people in the neighborhood.

T h a t ’s what gentrification is: crowding people out of their neighborhood...

Kids from local schools can come in and hang out here in a safe place with wi-fi and air conditioning.

They can do their homework with their friends. We want to make sure everyone can come in and get something.”

orth River Roasters & Coffeehouse – Poughkeepsie’s first coffee roaster – shares the space with Earth, Wind & Fuego. Christina Hughes talks about how the business fits into the paradigm created by HRH. “Feza Oktay started the coffee-roasting company as a CSCR [community-supported coffee roasting program], modeled after a farm CSA,” Hughes says. “The pickup location is the Poughkeepsie Farm Project, and

model. That’s when Earth Wind & Fuego was born.”

They found the Poughkeepsie Open Kitchen almost by accident. “At my last full-time job, I was going for a walk, and someone asked if I was going past the Underwear Factory,” says Herman. “We were looking for a kitchen, but didn’t have a lot of start-up capital. It was just meant to be that I found this commercial kitchen that was only $25 an hour. Now we’re hiring local residents and partnering with Hudson River Housing in their EATS [Employee Assistance and Training Station] program.

to expand awareness. “It was about changing the way people think about healthy food, and combining our expertise and knowledge. We just feel very proud about our ability and capacity to start a company,” says Henriquez. “It was important for me. I’m a woman of color, a first-generation immigrant, and I have my own company. We wanted to step away from the not-for-profit sector, to change the way businesses around food operate: What does it mean to offer healthy food in the so-called poor community? So that’s what we did.

Hudson Valley Wine & Food Fest at Dutchess Fairgrounds this weekend

STEVE AARON

Harvest time is upon us, and festivals celebrating our region’s agricultural bounty – including wines – will soon be reaching their annual peak.

Among the grandest is the Hudson Valley Wine and Food Fest, returning to the Dutchess County Fairgrounds from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, September 8 and 9.

New York wineries and gourmet specialty food producers are in the spotlight at this end-of-summer event, which started out years ago as a gathering of oenophiles and gradually expanded to include a New York Craft Beer Pavilion as well as distilleries and hard ciders. In addition to perusing the wares of more than 50 wineries and hundreds of other vendors that will be on hand, you’ll also get to watch celebrity chefs Dana Johnson, Gail Sokol and Arlyn Osborne give live cooking demonstrations, and hear Debbie Gioquindo’s expert tips on wine-and-food pairings.

Ticket prices range from $10 to $40, depending on the size of your group, whether you purchase in advance or at the gate, and whether you opt for a beverage-tasting pass or simple entry to the event. All food costs extra. To find out more or order tickets, visit www. hudsonvalleywinefest.com. The Dutchess County Fairgrounds are located at 6550 Springbrook Avenue (Route 9) in Rhinebeck.

A Night in Little Italy in downtown Highland on Saturday The Highland hamlet will be transformed into an Italian street festival on Saturday, September 8 from 2 to 8 p.m., as the Highland Business Association hosts its second annual Night in Little Italy. Admission is free.

Many contemporary Highlanders are descendants of Italian laborers who

GRAND OPENING OF RIVER-TO-RIDGE TRAIL IN NEW PALTZ THIS SATURDAY

A

six-mile loop trail connecting the village of New Paltz to the Shawangunk Ridge will officially open Saturday, September 8, with an event featuring local dignitaries and a ceremonial First Bike Ride and Walk. The $1.7 million trail was constructed by the Open Space Institute with support of the Butler Conservation Fund, for public use and enjoyment. The trail traverses stunning, rolling hills and runs alongside active farmland. Protected lands on the ridge include the 8,000-acre Mohonk Preserve and 22,275-acre Minnewaska State Park.

The opening celebration takes place on Saturday, September 8 from 10 a.m. to noon at the River-to-Ridge Trail Trailhead, located at 41 Springtown Road in New Paltz. Speakers include representatives of the Open Space Institute and Mohonk Preserve, and local officials including Mike Hein, county executive, Kevin Cahill, New York State Assembly representative, Tim Rogers, mayor of the Village of New Paltz and Neil Bettez, supervisor of the Town of New Paltz.

immigrated to the Hudson Valley in the 19th and early 20th centuries, first constructing railroads, canals and aqueducts and later investing their earnings in orchard land to grow fruit trees. You’ll find this heritage celebrated with gusto at the Night in Little Italy, with shout-outs to the Old Country in the form of a variety of agriculture-related activities – and of course, abundant servings of hearty Italian cuisine. All will take place on Vineyard Avenue, which will be closed to automobile traffic between its intersections with Milton Avenue and Main Street.

“We’ve built two grape-stomping activity centers, using two wine barrels cut in half,” says Christina DeMaio of Minard Farms, one of the event’s organizers. “We’ll fill them with a couple of hundred pounds of grapes.” Anyone who wants to try their hand – er, foot – at this rustic endeavor simply needs to show up unshod. “One of our members built two bocce courts that’ll be put up in the street,” she adds.

Another highlight of the street festival will be the Cannoli-Eating Contest, which begins at 5:30 p.m.

Crown opens in historic building in Kingston’s Stockade What would Cornelius Tappan think about his Revolutionary War Era home being retrofitted to host 21 stcentury afterwork tipplers and nibblers? Crown is just that. Tappan’s historic stone house, said to be the oldest still-standing home in the area, has a new incarnation as a place to get drinks and appetizers in the Stockade.

Jamie Niblock and John Krenek, interior designers and owners of the stylish Mid-Century Modern furnishings store Exit Nineteen on Wall Street, have transformed the pre-Revolution structure into a chic Parisian-style lounge. Krenek says that they were inspired when visiting France and set out to fashion something “dark, moody and sexy.”

Period furnishings mixed with simpleyet-sleek bar settings fill three intimate rooms in the original stone structure, which has served as a post office, a bank and a restaurant in years past. The walls and ceilings, painted a mink brown, are offset with textures and murals, mirrors and artwork, and a hallway leading to two outdoor rooms has walls decorated with quotes painted in gold.

With accents in deep reds and leopard prints, Crown’s tone is fun and friendly – and yes, dark-moody-and-sexy – which is exactly what Niblock and Krenek had in mind for their first venture into the hospitality business. They uncovered the original fireplace upstairs. What was once a roofed drive-through for the bank has become a three-season breezeway with tables, counter-high bar seating and a curtained view of the Stockade neighborhood. A stone patio holds French café tables and benches next to a big plus in Kingston: a nicely landscaped parking lot.

Featuring made-to-order libations, seasonal cocktails, regional wines and beer and light edibles such as cheese, charcuterie, chocolate plates, pickles, almonds and a few rotating specials, the atmosphere is one where people can gather, experience a little luxury after a busy day and come away satisfied that they’ve enjoyed something special.

Cornelius would approve.

Crown is located at 10 Crown Street in Kingston. It’s open Wednesdays and Thursdays from 4 p.m. to midnight, Fridays and Saturdays from 4 p.m. to 1 a.m. and Sundays from 2 to 6 p.m.; closed Mondays and Tuesdays. Rooms can be reserved individually for parties. For more information, call (845) 663-9003 or visit www.10crownstreet.com.

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.”

The “Becoming Vegan” events will take place over four consecutive Saturdays in September. The community is invited to register for this free program, which takes place at the Sanctuary and covers a range of topics from vegan nutrition to shopping for compassionate products. There will be recipes and demos for every level of skill and ambition, including self-described “lazy” vegan chefs.

The seminars run from 2 to 5 p.m. The first will be “Vegan Living: What, Why and How” on September 15, followed by “Healthy Eating with Delicious Food” on September 22. The next class will be “Everyday Choices and Living Vegan in a Non-Vegan World” on September 22.

The final weekend get-together on September 29 will be a celebration for attendees, with a potluck meal and tour of the Sanctuary. Featured speakers include Susan Yeoman; Cathy Katin-Grazzini, food editor for Veg World Magazine and owner of Cathy’s Kitchen Prescription; Linda Soper-Kolton and Sara Boan, Compassionate Cuisine chefs; Elana Kirshenbaum, Sanctuary adult programs manager; Seren Wechsler, registered dietician; and Nava Atlas, cookbook author.

MOVIE Gone girl Searching puts little screens on the big screen, ingeniously

J

ust a couple of weeks back, I ended an unenthusiastic review of Crazy Rich Asians with the sentence, “May this be only the beginning of a new wave.� Being the first big-budget Hollywood feature in 25 years to star an all-Asian cast, however commendable, didn’t rescue that movie from being “an exercise in eye candy,� in my view. But, sooner than I might have dreamed possible, it looks as if I’ve begun to get my wish with the release of Aneesh Chaganty’s new suspense thriller, Searching.

What warms the heart about Searching, even while the viewer’s spine is being tingled with fear about the disappearance of a teenage girl, is the fact that this is a story about characters who just happen to be Asian-American. It’s not about their Asianness; their ordeal could have been similarly experienced by any contemporary family. Actors once typecast as “Other� can now, at long last, play people whose concerns are completely relatable and universal. This is the direction in which the #oscarssowhite movement wanted the film industry to go: away from stereotypes. That battle’s not over yet, but yay for progress.

The family in question, the Kims, consists of 16-year-old Margot (Michelle La); her recently deceased mother, Pamela (Sara Sohn); her father David (John Cho); and his brother Peter (Joseph Lee). In pushing through the pain of widowhood, David begins avoiding all reminders of his late wife, meanwhile trying awkwardly to communicate with his daughter – whom, he realizes only after she goes missing, he hardly knows. This should be a careermaking role for Cho, previously known mainly as Harold in the Harold and Kumar stoner comedies and as the new Sulu in the Star Trek big-screen reboots.

His performance, morphing persuasively through every imaginable state of parental worry, anger, grief and guilt, is Searching’s strongest suit by far.

This movie’s other big talking point is its novel format of narrative presentation.

Everything that we see, we see on the screen of an electronic device: laptop, PC, cellphone, security camera. While not the first movie to blaze this trail – 2015’s Unfriended unfolds entirely on a laptop

This should be a career-making role for John Cho, previously known mainly as Harold in the Harold and Kumar stoner comedies and as the new Sulu in the Star Trek big-screen reboots.

– Searching takes the visual gimmick to a meta level, using the medium as part of its message about what’s happening to the very nature of social relationships in the age of social media. Camera placement and editing conspire most skillfully to direct the eye to clues on his overloaded, layered screens that David is missing in his obsessive search, some of which eventually become significant. It’s the sort of movie that one immediately wants to watch a second time, to catch them all, and that amply rewards close attention to detail. It’s useful to bear in mind going in that no bit of information displayed to us is insignificant.

It’s all very cleverly constructed, with plenty of plot twists and red herrings. Where the storytelling falters is the emotional “remove� imposed by the extra layer of screens between the viewer and the story. Maybe the generation that grew up plugged into their devices at all times will have an easier time than I did at feeling engaged with the drama as it unfolded, but all too often I was tempted to think, “This isn’t real. This is a trick, a gimmick.�

Where it did work for me, in terms of empathizing with the characters, it was mostly the acting talent of John Cho that made it happen.

Less satisfying, for me, was the performance of Debra Messing (Will and Grace) as Rosemary Vick, the detective assigned to investigate Margot’s case.

Camera placement and editing conspire most skillfully to direct the eye to clues on his overloaded screens that David is missing in his obsessive search.

She sometimes comes across as wooden, sometimes as histrionic, sometimes as less than professional. And fans of police procedurals will likely find much to quibble about in the way of plot holes in the investigation process – although these become apparent more in retrospect, once we know the twists.

Some critics are comparing Searching to a Hitchcock thriller in its mostly smooth and persuasive execution and its high nail-biting quotient. This seems a fair description, if one bears in mind that not every Hitchcock movie is top-shelf Hitchcock. It’s worth a watch, and likely better than most of the spate of copycat little-screen-based movies that are apt to follow. – Frances Marion Platt

Rosendale Theatre previews Woodstock Film Fest this Saturday with Finding Oscar With its prestigious and growing festival slated for mid-October, the Woodstock Film Festival readies for the season with a co-presentation of the documentary Finding Oscar on

Saturday, September 8 at 6 p.m. at the Rosendale Theatre. Finding Oscar tells the incredible story of the 15year search for a three-year-old boy who survived the infamous Dos Erres Massacre in Guatemala in 1982. Set against the background of Guatemala’s 36-year armed conflict, the film features three courageous Guatemalan women – a human rights activist, a young prosecutor and Guatemala’s attorney general – who unraveled the mystery of what happened at Dos Erres and brought to justice the perpetrators of one of Central America’s worst crimes against humanity.

The screening will be immediately followed by a panel featuring producer and attorney Scott Greathead, the film’s subject, Óscar Ramirez Castaùeda, and forensic anthropologist Fredy Peccerelli, moderated

by Woodstock Film Festival executive director and founder Meira Blaustein.

Tickets to the event cost $20 and can be purchased at http://woodstockfilmfestival. com. The Rosendale Theatre is located at 408 Main Street in Rosendale.

Kitchen at Stone Ridge Orchard to offer rustic farmhouse cuisine Elizabeth Ryan and her colleagues at Stone Ridge Orchard have created a dining venue at the 200-year-old working farm. The Kitchen at Stone Ridge Orchard is a pop-up affair, geared to celebrate the bounty of the Rondout Valley when it opens for business on Friday, September 14. Dinners will be served by reservation from 5 to 9 p.m. Fridays through Tuesdays until Thanksgiving, featuring three-, fiveand seven-course tastings.

Guests can enjoy hors d’oeuvres passed in the orchard under an old white oak tree, then move on to the Cidery for a sit-down at farmhouse tables where the feasting commences: roasted meats and veggies (some foraged nearby), rustic breads, fresh butter, farmstead cheeses, Breezy Hill buttercrust pies, handmade chocolates and the famous Empire State Apple Stack Cake with sorghum soufflé.

And that’s just the three-course tasting.

To the five-course, add an array of charcuterie: the Cidery confit of Bonticou duck, orchard jams and chutneys, chicken liver pâté, truffled goose-fat potato chips and more. The seven-course includes all the above plus soup and fried fish from the Orchard’s pond. You can’t get much more local than that.

Everything is cooked in a Le Panyol wood-fired pizza oven, made of white Larnage clay, and served family-style in a bucolic setting. Unlimited complimentary fresh-pressed apple cider or hot spiced cider is offered for designated drivers and diners under 21. Additionally, New York State craft libations are available for purchase, including cocktails, Hudson Valley Farmhouse hard ciders, local farmstead beers and the best of New York State wines and house-made liqueurs. The whole affair takes place at various stations around the orchard, so guests should bring boots or sturdy walking shoes for this rain-or-shine event.

CONCERT

SATURDAY NIGHT BLUEGRASS BAND WITH CINDY CASHDOLLAR AT ROSENDALE CAFÉ

S

aturday Night Bluegrass will return to the Rosendale Café with a performance at 8 p.m. on Saturday, September 8. The Rosendale Café is located at 434 Main Street in Rosendale.

The band features Brian Hollander on guitar, vocals and Dobro; Tim Kapeluck on mandolin, guitar and vocals; Geoff Harden on bass and vocals; and the sweet vocal stylings of Francine Hollander. For this performance, the great slide master Cindy Cashdollar will be joining the band, on Dobro.

Since the passing of Bill Keith and the retirement of Eric Weissberg, the band has been focusing on its singing and widening its repertoire. Kapeluck will also be performing some of the songs from his new album, By Time and Gravity, on which other members of the band also play.

The addition of Francine Hollander as a regular feature has added a new dimension to the music, as it takes on some fine, heartbreaking old country tunes, as well as an original or two.

And the band is thrilled to welcome its old friend, five-time Grammy-winner and member of the Texas Music Hall of Fame, Cindy Cashdollar, for this performance.

Cindy was nominated in 2016 by the Americana Music Association in the category of Instrumentalist of the Year.

Tickets at the Rosendale Café cost $10 for this show, and are available at the club. Seating is first-come, first-served and the club does serve fine vegetarian food. For more information, visit www.rosendalecafe.com or call (845) 658-9048.

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

Fig-uring out a solution

O

ver the years I’ve shared the joys and frustrations of growing figs in my minimally heated greenhouse. The joys, of course, have been in sinking my teeth into fruits of the various varieties; also, more recently, the neat appearance of the plants, which are trained as espaliers. Left to its own devices, a fig can grow into a tangled mess. In part, that’s because fig trees can’t decide if they want to be small trees, with single or a few trunks, or large shrubs, with sprouts and side branches popping out all over the place.

A major frustration in my greenhouse fig journey has been insects: both scale insects and mealybugs. These pests never attack my potted figs, which summer outdoors and winter indoors in my barely heated basement. In the greenhouse, the problem each year became more and more severe, eventually rendering many of the ripe fruits inedible – all that despite my attempts at control by going over plants with a toothbrush dipped in alcohol, oil sprays and sticky barriers to keep ants, which “farm” these pests, from climbing up the trunks.

Scale and mealybugs are hard to control, let alone eradicate. Yet I am now secure enough in my victory to have claimed success in the battle.

Success began last year, when research pointed me to two predators of these pests, Chrysoperla rufilabris and Cryptolaemus montrouzieri, both of which I ordered online and released into the greenhouse. They were expensive, bringing the cost of my fresh figs to about one dollar each – still worth it, though.

I got to thinking, “Perhaps I could perennialize these predators in the greenhouse so that additional annual purchases would be unnecessary.” As a first step to creating a home (or a jail, depending on your perspective) for them, I covered all greenhouse openings to the outdoors with window screening. These predators also like moisture, so I periodically spritzed the greenhouse and laid some absorbent wads of paper here and there on the branches.

I further thought, “How does the greenhouse environment differ from the great outdoors, where my figs are pest-free?” Rainfall!

Although the greenhouse environment is humid, water never falls on the plants’ leaves and stems. So rather than period spritzing, almost every day since early spring I have blasted leaves, stems and developing fruits with water.

The result: I haven’t seen one mealybug or scale insect all season!

LEE REICH | ALMANAC WEEKLY

keep a close eye on what’s going on.

I have a lot of faith in natural systems (a/k/a Mother Nature), but sometimes she gets things mixed up. Case in point relates to peppers. The pepper crop this year is excellent – mostly because I staked each plant, weeded well and grew varieties that do well here (Escamillo, Carmen, Pepperoncini and, best of all for flavor and production, Sweet Italia).

What can be done with excess peppers? Salsa, of course.

But a key ingredient for salsa is cilantro, which enjoys cool weather both for germination and growth. Self-seeded cilantro plants were sprouting and growing all over the place a few months ago. The dried stems, topped by BB-sized seeds, are all that remain of them. Those seeds will drop and germinate in the cooler temperature a few weeks hence. But I need cilantro now.

With foresight, I could have collected and sown these seeds a few weeks ago. The plants would have bolted (put energy into flowers rather than leaves) rather quickly, but repeated sowings would have kept me in fresh new plants.

Belatedly, I have sown those seeds. To speed germination, I soaked them, then planted them in seedflats that I kept in the refrigerator for a day and then moved to a cool, shaded area. Optimum temperatures for germination and growing of cilantro are 50 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit. As I write, the temperature is in the mid-90s.

A major frustration in my greenhouse fig journey has been insects: both scale insects and mealybugs.

I have to restrain myself from the usual gardener’s hubris in thinking that what I did cured the problem. Perhaps the “rainfall” favored the predators, of which there’s been nary a sign, by knocking the pest insects off the plant, or by creating a moist environment inimical to the pests, or… Perhaps my screening the greenhouse cured the problem. Perhaps the pest problem disappeared for none of these reasons, or from some combination of these reasons.

If I had a full-blown experimental station and were willing to sacrifice some fresh figs to science, I could possibly sleuth out the answer with control plants as to what happened. But I don’t, so I’ll just keep enjoying and be thankful for the fresh figs – and

Addendum, a bummer (one week later): Greenhouse figs have been ripening in profusion, and now I see scale insects! I had stopped spraying water to avoid promoting fruit rot. I aim to start daily water sprays again to see what happens (+scale+rot, +scale-rot, -scale+rot, or, ideally, -rot-scale).

NIGHT SKY

Tracking the elusive sundog

T

he past two weeks we’ve been exploring beautiful refraction phenomena of the sky. First we looked at the rare, vivid, upside-down rainbow that floats directly overhead once or twice a year. This is the astounding circumzenithal arc, or CZA. Then last week we talked about the common-but-awesome 22-degree halo that can be seen circling the Sun or the Moon once or twice a week.

Let’s stay with the “often-seen” category a little longer, and now explore the sundog, whose proper scientific name is parhelion. A sundog occurs whenever the Sun is lowish, but not so low as to be on the horizon, and the sky has cirrus clouds: those wispy high-altitude, semitransparent “mares’ tails.” A parhelion looks like a bright or even brilliant white or else vividly colored spot, directly to the right or left of that lowish Sun. It’s caused by sunlight being bent or refracted by six-sided ice crystals. The sundog always appears roughly the same distance from the Sun: 22 degrees. That happens to match perfectly the distance from your thumb-tip to pinky-tip when you spread your hand out as much as you can and hold it away from you, fully extended at arm’s length. Then, if you place the thumb-tip on the Sun, the pinky-tip will mark the location of a sundog.

It sounds like a lot of fun, and it is. If you look for parhelia around 5 p.m. this next week, or around 4:45 p.m. the week after, one or both sundogs should show up whenever high cirrus clouds are around the Sun. It’s an easy project with a high likelihood of success.

EVENT

Hoptember beer & barbecue at Dutchess Hops on Saturday

W

ere you hoping to up your Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon game at the sixth annual Hoptember pigout on September 8 at the Dutchess Hops Farm, by catching the movie star’s rock band live and in person? Sorry to bust your bubble, but the Bacon Brothers performing their magic at this event aren’t those Bacon Brothers. They’re the award-winning Hermon, New York-based caterers of smoked delights who haul their orange tank of a barbecue grill around the state on the back of a schoolbus.

This should not be cause for disappointment. Dutchess Hops engaged Bacon Brothers BBQ to spotlight the versatility of their signature crop by smoking meat treats over smoldering hops. The barbecue company will be descending on LaGrangeville with another secret weapon this year: a schoolbus-yellow barbecue sauce that the resident grillmeisters are calling Peach Pyro Habañero, made with peaches from a neighboring farm. Dare you try it?

Culinary experimentation with hop-infused delicacies is all part of the fun at Hoptember, but the main focus will of course be on the offerings of 20-plus microbreweries that make use of the many varieties of Hudson Valley-grown hops – not to mention distillers, cideries and other vendors. The hosts have dubbed it a “true farm-to-pint experience.”

Festivities begin at 1 p.m. on Saturday, September 7 (11:30 a.m. with an $80 VIP pass) and go on until 5 p.m. General admission to the 21+ event costs $55; designated drivers get in for $25. To order tickets, visit www.brownpapertickets.com/ event/3490151. The Dutchess Hops Farm is located at 1167 Noxon Road in LaGrangeville.

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.

Spirituality

PRAYER TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN. (Never known to fail.) Oh, most beautiful flower of Mt. Carmel, fruitful vine splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son of God. Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity. Oh, Star of the Sea, help me and show me herein you are my mother. Oh, Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth! I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in this necessity. There are none that can withstand your power. Oh, show me herein you are my mother. Oh Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee (3x).

Holy Mother, I place this cause in your hands (3x). Holy Spirit, you who solve all problems, light all roads so that I can attain my goal. You who gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me and that in all instances in my life you are with me, I want in this short prayer to thank-you for all things as you confirm once again that I never want to be separated from you in eternal glory. Thank-you for your mercy towards me and mine. The person must say this prayer 3 consecutive days, the request will be granted. This prayer must be published after the favor is granted.
