The Thunderbirds are the demonstration squadron of the United States Air Force. The squadron travels the country and world performing tight formation flying and acrobatic maneuvers in specially marked F-16s. The U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds air demonstration is a mix of formation flying and solo routines. The four-jet diamond formation demonstrates the training and precision of Air Force pilots, while the two solo aircraft highlight some of the extreme capabilities of the F-16. In all, the pilots perform approximately 40 maneuvers in a single demonstration. An aerial demonstration lasts 60 minutes with an additional 15 minutes for the ground show before takeoff. You can see them in action by visiting: https://youtu.be/UjJl02byaJs. Tickets purchased online in advance cost $22.50 per adult or $11.25 per child (age 6-12).

fleet of steamboats that traveled the Hudson River remains intact. Yet in forgotten backwaters, the ghosts of some ships can still be found. About 15 years ago, Thomas Rinaldi – an architectural designer and co-author of Hudson Valley Ruins: Forgotten Landmarks of an American Landscape – spent months tracking down visual remnants of the Hudson River’s lost steam fleet. In a special presentation that’s the next installment in the Hudson River Maritime Museum’s Follow the River Lecture Series, Rin-
aldi will share what he was able to find. Join Rinaldi on Wednesday, September 19 at 7 p.m. in the Riverport Wooden Boat School on the Rondout waterfront for “The Hudson’s Lost Steam Fleet.” Admission is by a suggested donation of $5; preregister and find out more at www.hrmm.org.

Edith and A.L. Riker in their Locomobile (courtesy of the Bridgeport Public Library)
In 1903, when flivvers were still a novelty, 125 people in 36 automobiles from 17 American makers competed in the first annual Endurance Run of the National Association of Automobile Manufacturers; 25 cars completed the 800-mile route from New York City to Pittsburgh. Spectators dubbed their noisy, smelly vehicles Devil Wagons; and the veterans of the sloppy journey, largely on unpaved roads, afterwards called themselves the Mud Larks at their reunions. Two of the competitors, traveling in a Locomobile, were Edith (the only woman in the group) and A. L. Riker.

THE PILOT & EVERY BRILLIANT THING AT ROSENDALE THEATRE
K
nown mainly as a vintage moviehouse, the Rosendale Theatre not long ago rebuilt its stage and began adding live theatrical and musical events to its cultural offerings. This weekend, two performances each of two contemporary plays, both directed by Christine Crawfis, will be presented on that stage: Grounded by George Brant and Every Brilliant Thing by Duncan MacMillan and Jonny Donahoe. Grounded stars Janet E. Nurre as a hot-rod fighter pilot whose unexpected pregnancy ends her career in the sky. Reassigned to fly remote-controlled drones in Afghanistan from a windowless, air-conditioned trailer near Vegas, she hunts terrorists by day and goes home to her family at night. But what happens when the boundaries blur between the desert in which she lives and the one she patrols? Showtime is 8 p.m. on Friday, September 14 and 2 p.m. on Saturday, September 15. Rick Meyer stars as the Narrator in Every Brilliant Thing, an audienceparticipation heartbreaker about a little boy who, when his mother is in the hospital, starts making a list of everything that’s worth living for, and carries on with it as he grows into manhood. The play begins at 8 p.m. on Saturday, September 15 and at 2 p.m. on Sunday, September 16. Tickets to each play cost $15 general admission, $13 members for Rosendale Theatre Collective members. To reserve tickets in advance, call (845) 658-8989 or visit www.rosendaletheatre.org. The Theatre is located at 408 Main Street (Route 213) in downtown Rosendale.

Hudson River of Bricks installation in Poughkeepsie
Saugerties sailboats to be auctioned off at gala on Saturday
I
n 1835, the Great Fire of New York destroyed 13 acres of densely packed wooden buildings in lower Manhattan: a conflagration so intense that the flames were reportedly visible from Philadelphia. New city fire ordinances requiring that rebuilding be done with brick and stone spurred a thriving brickmaking industry along the clay-lined banks of the Hudson. At its 19thcentury height, more than 200 Hudson River brickyards were in operation, each of which marked its bricks with a unique stamp. Julia Whitney Barnes began using bricks from demolished Brooklyn buildings as an art medium more than two decades ago: “Once I noticed the variety in ‘stamps,’ I started discovering bricks made from Hudson River clay. Intrigued that their source was so close to the City, I started seeking and exploring their defunct brickyards along the river.” Relocating to Poughkeepsie in 2015, Barnes reports, “I eventually had a ‘Eureka!’ moment that, instead of pictorially painting on the bricks, I would create imagery with the bricks.” The artist’s latest installation, Hudson River of Bricks, entails a scale version of the Hudson River created from hundreds of bricks. Barnes glazed one example from each brickyard a range of greenish-blue hues to represent the river’s colors as it reflects a variety of skies. Each glazed brick is put in the geographic location along the river where its brickyard existed. The unglazed bricks show the patina of time and various clay body colors. Hudson River of Bricks opened last week at the Poughkeepsie Trolley Barn at 489 Main Street in Poughkeepsie, and will remain on view by appointment through October. To learn more or set up an appointment, visit www.juliawhitneybarnes.com.

MOVIE
Jonathan Pryce and Glenn Close in The Wife (Sony Pictures Classics)
A room of her own Glenn Close gets her long-awaited Oscar-worthy turn in The Wife
G
lenn Close’s acting career came on strong in the early 1980s, but she kept getting typecast as an angelically patient, supportive, nurturing, long-suffering wife and/or mother in films like The Big Chill and The Natural, TV movies like Something about Amelia and stage shows like Barnum. Eventually she grew weary of her pigeonhole and, with a Tony and several Academy Award nominations already under her belt, summoned the clout to rebel and find more challenging, less “wholesome� work. Her terrifying portrayal of a psychotic woman scorned in Fatal Attraction (1987) haunted the nightmares of many a straying husband thereafter. Close could deliver the femme fatale well, and followed that role up with such memorable villainesses as the Marquise de Merteuil in Dangerous Liaisons and Cruella De Vil in the live-action remake of 101 Dalmatians. In more recent times, the sublimely skilled actress has had her pick of roles, devoting decades to getting The Singular Life of Albert Nobbs, a play about a transgendered woman in which she first starred Off-Broadway in 1982, made
into a film in 2011. But always Oscar has eluded her, despite six nominations. By all accounts, 2018 may finally be Close’s year: Her performance as Joan Castleman in BjĂśrn Runge’s new drama feature The Wife is every bit as impressive as the advance buzz would have it. Close quietly commands every frame that she occupies in The Wife, in which she plays the unsung woman behind the great man Joe Castleman, who has just been announced as the winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature. Jonathan Pryce is no slouch either as the philandering superstar writer (despite a “New York Jewishâ€? accent that comes and goes alarmingly from scene to scene, which is likely more the director’s oversight than the Welsh-born actor’s). And Christian Slater has some great scenes as a skeevy wannabe biographer who stalks the Castlemans on their trip to Stockholm to receive the award. But Close’s slow burn as the brilliant, overlooked woman who identifies herself as a “kingmakerâ€? by profession is a mesmerizing wonder to behold.

disappoints – notably Max Irons in the thankless role of the Castlemans’ surly son David, an aspiring writer perpetually denied his “genius� father’s full approval. Elizabeth McGovern’s talents are wasted as she camps it up as a bitter older woman writer who talks gifted young Joan out of pursuing her own literary ambitions. In short, Glenn Close’s superb embodiment of a strong woman perilously underestimated, and to a lesser extent Pryce’s nuanced portrayal of a blustery celebrity with too many secrets, make this study of a co-dependent marriage occasionally wince-inducing and ultimately well-worth seeing. – Frances Marion Platt

This is a very good thing, because other aspects of The Wife don’t hold up nearly as consistently. The movie’s faults are mainly in the writing, which is a particularly glaring flaw in a narrative about a literary family. The screenplay by Emmy-winner Jane Anderson (Olive Kitteridge), based on Meg Wolitzer’s 2003 novel of the same title, is wildly uneven, with some scenes – especially those between Harry Lloyd and Close’s real-life daughter, Annie Starke, establishing the backstory of Joe and Joan’s younger selves – attempting to cram way too much drama into way too little time, unpersuasively. Thankfully, the “present� (actually 1980) timeline is given much more space to breathe, and the central plot twist unfolds with a relentless and grimly satisfying inevitability. Some of the supporting cast also

SoundScape festival at Basilica Hudson this weekend
Levon Helm Studios host Darlingside Just as we face a population that skews heavily toward the elderly as the Baby Boomers reach their dotage, so does the next decade present us with the culturally taxing pressure of a generation of doctrinal roots bands coming to the realization that the retro ruse is a bit of a straitjacket and, in any case, kinda done. These bands can look to the Massachusetts ensemble Darlingside for answers about how to outgrow fedoras and WPA longing. Banjo notwithstanding, Darlingside has always been a band with an ear in the past and an ear in the present: Ambient, harmony-heavy and at times downright progressive, they remain a string band of sorts, with an audible connection to tradition but no binding vows. Their new record Extralife is as full of raindrop synth arpeggios as acoustic strum. And for them, it is no calculated reinvention in response to evolving markets (ewww). It is just what they have always been. Darlingside performs with Twisted Pine at Levon Helm Studios this Friday. Tickets cost $50 for seated, $30 for standing. – John Burdick
O
ne of the region’s most substantial, current and challenging music and art festivals, Basilica’s SoundScape takes place from 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 Hudson’s Back Gallery will feature a group show by Basilica’s recent artists-in-residence. The artist-in-residence series invites artists to explore the location itself as Muse and to create work with Hudson’s eclectic present and past as central inspiration. The group show will feature work by artists including Annie Bielski, the Social Justice Leadership Academy, Jim Krewson and newest resident Roman Horst. Each night, the festival will close out with an afterparty at Hudson neighborhood bar and venue the Half Moon. Friday’s afterparty will be hosted by Audiofemme, a New York City music and culture blog that showcases the writings of women and non-binary journalists. Saturday’s afterparty will see the welcome return of some Basilica SoundScape regulars, gay metal dance party Rainbow in the Dark. It’s all a lot to wrap the mind around, but the website will really help you find your path through this astonishingly ambitious festival. 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.

Tim Fain at Hudson Hall Postmodern violin virtuoso Tim Fain headlines Hudson Hall’s Leaf Peepers’ Concert series with a program heavy on the Modernist, Minimalist and crossover: music that stands to sound nothing less than awesome in the decayed-and-reborn main space of the Hudson Opera House. The wickedly skilled Fain is associated with the music of Philip Glass, and his repertoire is heavy on the work of living and experimental composers, though his reputation extends deeply into the traditional serious music world as well. The program for the Leaf Peepers’ Concerts features works by Glass, the storied film composer (and more)
Nico Muhly, the National’s Bryce Dessner and a nod to Bach, because every tradition claims him. Ticket prices start at $25. – John Burdick Tim Fain Saturday, Sept. 15, 7 p.m. Hudson Hall, 327 Warren Street Hudson, (518) 822-1438 www.hudsonhall.org
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah plays Colony CYHSY is unpronounceable, in English at least; but that’s what you get for naming your band Clap Your Hands Say Yeah. Formed in Massachusetts, relocated to Brooklyn and at just the right time, CYHSY epitomized the unvarnished side of the indie of the Aughts, becoming arguably one of the first “Internet buzz bands,” or at least the first to come to the attention of NPR. Borne to national fame by blogs and the first blush of virality, CYHSH released a series of smart, fun and occasionally difficult records. As
it will, the sound quality gets better as it goes, but the skewed sensibility and wobbly musical imagination remain unfiltered and uncorrected on 2017’s lovely The Tourist. Clap Your Hands Say Yeah plays at Colony on Woodstock on September 15, with the veteran Hudson Valley indie-rock band Battle on hand to receive one of their earliest role models.

TALKING DREADS AT KINGSTON’S FALL FLING
n an event explicitly billed as a measure of reparation, Radio Kingston and Rise Up Kingston present a Fall Fling with Mystic Bowie’s Talking Dreads – a concert event to benefit the Radio Kingston Community Fund – on Sunday, September 23. This event is free for people of color. General admission costs $10.79. Why reparations? The event promoters quote Ta-Nehisi Coates: “Two hundred fifty years of slavery. Ninety years of Jim Crow. Sixty years of separate but equal. Thirty-five years of racist housing policy. Until we reckon with our compounding moral debts, America will never be whole.” Proceeds from this event support the Community Fund, which provides financial assistance to Kingstonians in need. Free shuttles will run from Midtown and the Rondout to Kingston Point.

Daurov/Myer duo at Saugerties Pro Musica In an area uncommonly rich with chamber music venues and series, Saugerties Pro Musica stands out both because of its stamina (two decades and counting) and the inclusive breadth and period/style agnosticism of its programming. The venerable and ambitious series kicks off its 23 rd season with a performance by the Daurov/Myer duo (cello and piano). Adrian Daurov made his debut as soloist with the St. Petersburg State Symphony Orchestra in his native Russian city at the age of 15. Subsequently, he earned top honors at three international competitions before touring as soloist in 2004 with the St. Petersburg Chamber Orchestra. Spencer Myers was Gold Medalist of the 2008 New
Orleans International Piano Competition and has appeared as soloist with a dozen top orchestras in the US. The duo’s program for this concert represents the 20 th century with works by Barber and Gershwin, the Romantic era with Brahms and Schumann and the Baroque with Bach’s Suite No.1.
The sophisticated rhythms of Indian music are well-nigh uncountable with Western constructs such as the one and a two and a three and a four. But the heart can feel, and crave to understand, that which the mind can’t quite reconcile to the occidental grid. With its elusive grooves, non-Western scales, intense internal dialogues, sympathetic drones and high standard of virtuosity, classical Indian music has been a preferred mind-expanding agent for Western audiences since at least the ’60s. Santoor (hammered dulcimer) master Tarun Bhattacharya has been on the cutting edge of that East/West transaction. He has recorded numerous albums with many of India’s finest musicians, including Ravi Shankar’s Chants of India, produced by George Harrison. He has met the West in the middle – which is to say Woodstock – previously, and he blew away a variety of jazz, classical and world music aficionados. Tarun returns to Mountain View Studio, this time performing with Jyotirmay Roychowdhury on tabla. Advance tickets are available for $20 at Pondicherry on the Woodstock Village Green. Reserved seating is available for $35. – John Burdick Tarun Bhattacharya Thursday, Sept. 20, 7:30 p.m. Mountain View Studio 20 Mountain View Ave. Woodstock (845) 679-2926 (Pondicherry)

TASTE Catch 38 in Rhinebeck
It’s said that “three’s a charm.” Chef Wesley Dier, Culinary Institute of America graduate and Rhinebeck local, has gone well beyond that count by opening Catch 38, his fifth culinary venture, this one co-owned and operated with Bryn Bahnatka-Dier. The couple have turned an 18th-century townhouse on West Market Street in Rhinebeck (where the Local used to be) into a “fish shack” the likes of which Hudson Valley eaters have never seen. With dual levels and outdoor dining areas, Catch 38 is an efficiently designed eatery replete with an antique bar where crafted cocktails, award-winning wines and microbrewed beers and ciders are available. Chef Dier takes full advantage of the region’s bounty of organic produce, grass-fed meats, dairy products and fresh sustainable seafood delivered daily to produce an amazingly diverse menu. Just imagine: sweet and sour calamari, crabcakes, steamed cockles, mahi mahi tacos, shrimp Louie, New England lobster rolls, codfish & chips, cedar-planked salmon and shrimp scampi – but a few of the mouthwatering offerings. And meat-lovers can sink their teeth into a dry-aged ribeye steak, barbecue-smoked chicken, lamb sliders or a BLT made with jowl bacon. The raw and cold appetizers include oysters, caviar and tuna tartare. Salads and other tidbits round out the selection. The Hudson Valley is a food-source paradise, a fact that the 30+-year resident of the region knows from extensive experience. Chef Dier honed his skills working under a number of celebrated chefs, such as Melissa Kelly of Maine’s Primo restaurant. She mentored Dier at the Beekman 1766 Tavern, American Place Waterside and Old Chatham Sheepherding Inn before he opened his first restaurant at the ripe young age of 27. – Ann Hutton

Pig roast at the Pines
T
he inaugural Pig Roast is happening at the Pines, a true and humble Catskills roadhouse that replaced Tiso’s Italian Trattoria last year out on Route 212 in Mount Tremper. Come fortify yourself for the approaching autumn. A local pig from Atticus Farm will be prepped at the crack of dawn on Sunday and slow-roasted until feast time. In addition to a regular list of crafted drinks, wine and beer, enjoy special rum cocktails concocted by Brendan Edwards as the aroma of succulent pork floats through the tastefully decorated bar, dining room and three-season porch. And for anyone who simply pigs out and can’t make it home, owners Jeremy Bernstein and Stacia Bolinaaka offer lodgings: two private suites with their own bathrooms and three small bedrooms that share a washroom, all reasonably priced. Check out their regular brunch and dinner menu online.

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-, five- and 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 and served familystyle 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. 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. – Ann Hutton Kitchen at Stone Ridge Orchard, 3012 Route 213, Stone Ridge; (845) 687-2587, https://kitchenatstoneridge.com/

autographed items from NFL teams, along with certificates from numerous local businesses, crafts and arts, and dining and shopping adventures. “We’re also auctioning off comic-book items illustrated by Walt and Louise Simonson, who have generously donated a hardcover edition of Action 1000, the comic book in which Superman was introduced,” says event organizer Sue Bruck. “Walt threw in a hand-drawing of Thor’s nemesis, Beta Ray Bill, from Marvel Comics. A Silent Auction catalogue is available to view on our Facebook page through the ‘Album’ tab.” “Annually we provide food for over 100,000 meals and snacks,” she says. “These programs make a big impact on our community, so this fundraiser is huge for us, because we rely on donations and grant money to keep the cupboards full. All proceeds benefit our seven feeding programs, four of which are exclusively for children: a Backpack program of easy-to-prepare foods for students in need who don’t have access to meals on weekends, a Summer Breakfast/ Lunch program that runs through the summer to provide extra breakfast, lunch and snack supplies for the children of our guests, a Summer program for a local youth day program and an Afterschool program with snacks and small meals. “Our General Distribution program, which runs 52 weeks a year, is open to individuals and families to receive four days’ worth of food every three weeks. Then we have a Thanksgiving Basket program and our Winter Holiday Basket and Bags program, both of which provide a holiday meal, plus a bag of food for each child to enjoy over the winter break when they’re not in school.” Founded in 1990, the not-for-profit organization is staffed entirely by volunteers and supported generously by local businesses, civic and religious organizations and dedicated individuals – too many to list. RVFP serves families and individuals living in the Rondout Valley School District. It
receives grant money from the Northeast Regional Food Bank, which supports a number of food bank dropoffs around the county. “Our guests – rather than calling them clients, we’re working diligently to remove the stigma of people needing to use the pantry, because in this economy we’re all only one event away from needing help – we want to make sure they know they’re welcome. We’re here; we have food. It’s like you’re coming into our kitchen. People do walk in off the streets who are either interested in becoming new enrolled guests or they just need something to tide them over temporarily. We do provide emergency food, and we’re working to expand that more. People are in need. Just give us a call.” The Rondout Valley Food Pantry is newly located at 3775 Route 209 in Stone Ridge, the former Town of Marbletown building. Hours of operation are every Tuesday and Thursday from 9 to 11 a.m. Watch for news of an Open House there in between the Gala and Thanksgiving, when the volunteers can take a breath. Meanwhile, join the fun and donate. Tickets to the Gala event can be purchased at the door, through Eventbrite on Facebook, or at a table outside Emmanuel’s in Stone Ridge on September 14, 21 and 28. – Ann Hutton RVFP Gala & Silent Auction, Saturday, September 29, 6-9 p.m., $10 (kids under 3 free), Rondout Municipal Building, 1915 Lucas Avenue, Cottekill; (845) 687-4013, www.facebook.com/ events/1872261492823256.

City Winds Trio gives kids’ workshop at Kingston Library Musicians? Yeah, we think outside the Bachs. Accordion to a recent survey, replacing words with the names of musical instruments in a sentence often goes undetected. While you puzzle
that one out, give your budding musicians a chance to hear some great music. On Saturday, September 15 at 10:30 a.m., check out Musical Innovations: Celebrate Classical Music Treasures with the City Winds Trio. Recommended for ages 5 and up, children will conduct the trio, explore dynamics and tempos with movement, learn about melody and rhythm, draw a picture and end with the opportunity to try musical instruments in the musical “Petting Zoo.” This program is free and open to the public. The Kingston Library is located at 55 Franklin Street in Kingston. For more information, call (845) 331-0507, extension 7, or visit www.kingstonlibrary. org/kids/supersat.php.

NIGHT SKY
The black hole in the center of our galaxy Find it this weekend
B
lack holes are not theoretical. They’re real. The first ever identified, and still the surest, floats directly overhead these nights at 9:30 p.m. It’s Cygnus X-1, so named because intense X-rays stream from that spot as material from a companion star spirals into the black hole’s accretion disk, giving off yelps of protest. But let’s not fool around with a mere 12-solar-mass black hole. This weekend it’s truly easy to find the biggest one in our entire galaxy. That’s the supermassive black hole named Sagittarius A star – which is written Sagittarius A*. There’s probably a supermassive black hole in the core of every galaxy. Ours has the weight of four million Suns. It marks the spot around which everything you see in the night sky revolves, once every 240 million years or so. Well, not quite everything; there’s a single smudgy spot directly overhead these nights at about 1:30 a.m., and this alone does not circle that black hole. That’s because that little smudge is the only naked-eye object not in our galaxy. It’s our sister galaxy, Andromeda – but we won’t let her distract us. Here’s how to stare at the center of our galaxy, at the black hole. Friday night or Saturday night, September 14 or 15, look at the first bright star to the left of the Moon. That’s the planet Saturn, and it is floating right in front of that supermassive black hole. If you could travel at the speed of light, it would take one hour to reach Saturn, and if you continued at that velocity beyond the ringed planet and kept going for another 25,000 years, you would reach Sagittarius A* in the galaxy’s core.

Mushroom walk at Sam’s Point Did you know that mushrooms are more closely related to humans than to plants? That a Portobello mushroom contains more potassium than a banana? How about why the mushroom gets invited to all the parties? Because he’s a fun-gi! Here’s your chance to raise mushrooms yourself: On Saturday, September 15 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., take a guided trail walk at Sam’s Point, learn some of the mysteries about mushrooms and then create your own mushroom log that you can take home when it’s complete! This activity is free and open to the public of all ages, but preregistration is required. There is also a $10 fee per vehicle to park at Minnewaska’s Sam’s Point entrance, or use your Empire Pass. To register or for more information, call (845) 647-7989 or visit https://on.ny. gov/2x43VlS.
Papermaking workshop at Minnewaska “Look at me now, I’m getting pa-

This Saturday, September 15 from 2 to 4:30 p.m., the Minnewaska State Park Preserve invites everyone to its papermaking drop-in session. Geared for ages 6 to 12 years, kids will get hands-on experience making paper using recycled paper, a blender, a press and other simple tools. This program is free and open to the public; come anytime during the workshop, and no preregistration is necessary. There is a $10 fee per vehicle for park entry, or use your Empire Pass. Meet in the Minnewaska Nature Center, located in the upper level of Minnewaska State Park at 5281 Route 44/55 in Kerhonkson.

(Above) An artist’s impression of Sagittarius A*. Here’s how to stare at the center of our galaxy, at the black hole. Friday night or Saturday night, September 14 or 15, look at the first bright star to the left of the Moon. That’s the planet Saturn, and it is floating right in front of that supermassive black hole.
It’s cool to be able to salute the spot around which every naked-eye object in the heavens revolves. And yet, that supermassive black hole is unusually quiet. Unlike the much smaller one overhead, it does not emit X-rays, because these days it is not gobbling up atoms from any stars. There are truly weird things in its vicinity, such as a double bubble of lethal gamma rays that is so large, it occupies half of our southern sky these nights! Also in its vicinity are violent electromagnetic emissions that are the signature of antimatter colliding with ordinary matter. Yet these powerful antimatter geysers are not emanating from the Milky Way’s central black hole, but from a puzzling empty region not too far from it. So there’s lots of mystery in that direction behind Saturn: deep, troubling enigmas. And yet that four-million-solar-mass black hole just sits there quietly and heavily, as innocent as Jabba the Hutt. – Bob Berman Want to know more?

NATURE “Green Amendment” lecture at SUNY-Ulster
Hawk Watch at Minnewaska
There’s a growing rumble of popular interest in a movement to pass a “Green Amendment” or E nv i r o n m e n t a l and Social Responsibility Amendment to the US Constitution. It takes varying forms, but in general would establish a constitutional right to a healthy environment, grant the natural environment “personhood” and standing in court and/or require large corporations to recertify at regular intervals that their business practices are environmentally responsible or lose their charters. For those who’d like to know more, “Would a Constitutional Amendment Really Help the Environment?” is the title of this year’s Constitution Day Lecture at SUNY-Ulster, sponsored by the Dr. Donald C. Katt Institute for Constitutional Studies and the Ulster Community College Foundation, taking place at 6 p.m. on Monday, September 17 in the College Lounge of Vanderlyn Hall. The presenter is Dr. Darryl Banks, OBE, Rhodes Scholar, distinguished scientist, author, environmental policy expert and New York’s former deputy commissioner for Environmental Quality. Banks has also held leadership roles at the US Environmental Protection Agency, the Center for American Progress, the Rand Corporation and the World Resources Institute, and served as a Congressional Science Fellow. This event is free and open to the public. For information, call (845) 687-5262 or e-mail kaufmand@sunyulster.edu.
The Minnewaska Preserve presents Hudson River Valley Ramble: Hawk Watch Drop-In on Saturday, September 15.

There will be a raptor information table, a closer view via a spotting scope and binoculars. This program will be canceled in the event of rain. Preregistration is not required.

havior, ecology and distribution of birds. An award-winning author, teacher and conservationist, she is a past president of the New York State Ornithological Association. Oblong Books & Music, located at 6422 Montgomery Street, Suite 6 in Rhinebeck, will host a book talk on Birding the Hudson Valley with Kathryn Schneider from 6 to 8 p.m. on Friday, September 14. Admission is free; to preregister, visit https://bit.ly/2Q1RlMV.

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.

ERICA’S CANCER JOURNEY
Framily Promise me / you will not spend / so much time / treading water / and trying to keep your head above the waves / that you forget, / truly forget, how much you have / always loved / to swim. – Tyler Knott Gregson
N
ina’s here! Her mom and I have been burning up the WhatsApp with schedule adjustments, questions and updates for months, and now she’s here! (Who’s Nina?) Why, she’s Sara’s sister, of course. (Who’s Sara?) She’s Michi’s daughter. (Who’s Michi?) My German sister! “I’ve been to almost as many places as my luggage.” – Bob Hope
When I was a teen, my family was active in Operation Friendship: a summer exchange program that sends groups of teens abroad to member host families or hosts groups of member teens from another country. I will always be grateful to my parents for fostering my love of international travel and value of other cultures by hosting exchange students at our home, and for sending me abroad through this program during high school. My OF trip to Germany is how I met Michi (pronounced “mee-hee,” with that phlegm sound in the middle) and her parents. “When preparing to travel, lay out all your clothes and all your money. Then take half the clothes and twice the money.” – Susan Heller We clicked instantly. We laughed so much, like the time I sat down to rest against a vacant wall during a beer festival, happily digesting my bratwurst, the now-empty white paper plate by my side. A few people walked by me, said something that sounded kind even in German, bent down and threw some coins on my plate. I was puzzled. When Michi returned from getting us some soda (wink), I shared my confusion about what happened. She burst out laughing, gasping out, “They think you’re a bum!” “My fear of flying starts as soon as I buckle myself in and then the guy up front mumbles a few unintelligible words then before I know it I’m thrust into the back of my seat by acceleration that seems way too fast and the rest of the trip is an endless nightmare of turbulence, of near-misses. And then the cabbie drops me off at the airport.” – Dennis Miller I give Michi all the credit for our remaining in touch over these decades, because I was (am) an infrequent letter-writer; but, as she and my French sister Nat still tease, “She doesn’t write much, but when she does, she really does.” Remember, this is all pre-e-mail, let alone Twitter, Insta, Facebook, Skype, Discord or even MySpace. I’m talking the Steve Winwood “Higher Love,” Top Gun and Street Fighter era. The Berlin Wall was still standing. “What does it mean to pre-board? Do you get on before you get on?” – George Carlin We both grew up, raised kids, and daughter Sara was on the brink of 16 when she arrived in the Hudson Valley for boarding school. Being relatively close by, we could spring Sara from campus and expose her to my personal American “musts,” such as Halloween, Thanksgiving, buffet restaurants, fried Oreos and the Statue of Liberty – each experience ending in a race to beat curfew, armed with a java “cup of hope” in hand to tackle her history or math homework. “It can hardly be a coincidence that no language on Earth has ever produced the expression, ‘As pretty as an airport.’” – Douglas Adams My kids were very young then, and Sara was the adored, perfect big sister when she stayed at our house. She introduced them to the poop emoji, funny videos and new games. I enjoyed having a cool companion to share deep or silly conversations with, the extra hand in the kitchen, as well as an inside glimpse of parenting a teen (“Wait, we’re skiing today – you forgot your snowpants??”). We were all devastated when she flew back to Deutschland.
3:30pm Ulysses Grant: Myth and Reality. The Chatham Library is hosting playwright Elizabeth Diggs for a lecture. At the conclusion of Ulysses Grant’s presidency, he and his wife and a small entourage, set off on a world tour. They were (semi-secretly) sponsored by the State Department. It was the first time such publicity was attempted, and it was a huge success for America. Chatham Library, 11 Woodbridge Ave, Chatham. chatham.lib.ny.us.
braten among countless others, flowing German beer and wines.

“When life knocks you down, roll over and look at the stars.” Years later, Sara surprised me with a visit after my cancer diagnosis, I don’t know how she, Michi and Mike pulled it off! Sara was a huge help with the house, the kids and her overall loving support. She’s on my mind and in my heart all the time. “Airplane travel is nature’s way of making you look like your passport photo.”– Al Gore So imagine my excitement when I recently heard the news that her younger sister, Nina, was coming this fall! Same school, same plan for us to be a home-awayfrom-home during her time here, and same exposure to the best of what our area has to offer. I am being creative with transportation to get her to and from New Paltz (if you are interested in brushing up on your German, hit me up – I’ll add you to the ride-share list). My kids are older now, so the relationship with her is more peerlike. I am hopeful that my health remains stable enough to be here during her entire school year. And I dream of my own kids visiting Nina, Sara and Michi back in Germany someday. “People don’t take trips...trips take people.” – John Steinbeck Thanks to my and Michi’s parents back in the days of RUN-DMC “It’s Tricky” and The Breakfast Club, Michi and I were gifted with the opportunity to meet at the age Sara was, and Nina is now. We’ve remained close, now two generations connected, and hopefully many more. And I am grateful to see it unfold for as long as I can. Where have your life trips taken you? Head On and Heart Strong! Love, Erica Kids’ Almanac columnist Erica Chase-Salerno was diagnosed with Stage IV breast cancer in the Summer of 2015.

Railroad historian & photographer Eugene Dauner will talk and show photos about his 1966-1971 walks along the U&D RR ROW & how it’s changed. Mr. Dauner’s presentation combines train photos with scenery with a particular emphasis on the structural line-side scene. Many, if not most of the structures shown are gone now or compromised by time and either deterioration or rehabilitation. The vegetational scene has totally changed, with many vistas grown in with trees and brush. The track condition and overgrowth was so different back then compared to today that it hardly seems the same railroad. The photographs he will use have been picked from several thousand of his photos and covers from 1966 to 1971. Eugene Dauner also collaborated with another local railroad historian, John M. Ham, on a couple of books, the latest being “Along the Old West Shore” published in 2017. A small reception will be held after the lecture and Gene will be available to answer your questions. Plus he and John Ham will also be available to sign their books which are available in the Museum Gift Shop. There is no charge for this lecture or the reception after.

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK
Bumper crop of blueberries
B
ecause I’ve grown a number of varieties of blueberries for a long time, I’m often asked what variety I would recommend planting, or whether you need to plant two varieties for cross-pollination in order to get fruit. The answers to both questions are intertwined. First of all, blueberries are partially self-fertile, so one variety will bear fruit all by itself. But – and this is important – berries will be both more plentiful and larger if two different varieties cross-pollinate each other. (Apples, in contrast, are self-sterile, so, with few exceptions, won’t bear any fruit at all without cross-pollination.) Benefits of cross-pollination aside, why plant just one variety of blueberry? Different varieties ripen their fruits at different times during the blueberry harvest season. With a good selection of varieties, that season can be very long. Here on the farmden, the season opens with Duke and Earliblue, both usually ready for picking (in Zone 5) at the end of June. The season moves on, with Blueray, Berkeley and Bluecrop ripening in July, and Jersey, Toro and Nelson in August. As I write, in September, the variety Elliot is still bearing ripe berries. So if you’re going to plant blueberries (which I highly recommend doing), plant more than one variety, and choose the varieties that let you enjoy berries with your morning cereal or your after-dinner ice cream over a long season.
Blueberries will be both more plentiful and larger if two different varieties cross-pollinate each other.
I pay special attention to the soil when I plant blueberries, and it pays off. Blueberries have unique soil requirements among cultivated plants, demanding those that are very acidic, high in organic matter, low in nutrients and consistently moist and well-aerated. (Most cultivated plants like soils that are only slightly acidic and have moderate-to-high fertility.) No matter if a soil is not naturally to blueberry’s liking; it can be made so. The soil where I planted my blueberries drains well. If it did not, I would either choose a better location or else create mounds on which to plant. Next in importance is soil acidity; I test it before planting. If it’s not at the required pH of 4 to 5.5, I spread pelletized sulfur – a naturally mined mineral – over the ground. (Pelletizing the sulfur makes it less dusty to work with.) The amount of sulfur, per 100 square feet, needed to lower the pH by one unit would be a pound in a sandy soil and three pounds in a clay soil. My clay loam’s initial pH was about 6.5, so I needed three pounds of sulfur per hundred square feet to lower that pH to 5.5: the upper limit enjoyed by blueberries. Now for planting: I mix a bucketful of peat moss with the soil in each planting hole

and then tuck the plants and soil into the hole, setting the plants slightly deeper than they stood in the nursery. Peat moss is a long-lasting source of organic matter, unique among organic matters in also being low in nutrients. Right after planting, I spread a two-to-three-inch depth of some weed-free, fluffy organic material, such as wood shavings, wood chips, straw, pine needles or autumn leaves, as mulch. The mulch snuffs out weeds, which are more adept than blueberry at soaking up water and nutrients, and keeps the soil cool and moist, just as it is in blueberry’s natural habitats. With regular watering, as needed, pruning and annual mulching and attention to soil acidity, blueberry leaves should maintain a healthy green color, and stems should grow a couple of feet or so each year. My planting of 16 plants yields almost 200 quarts per year of delicious organic blueberries. Blueberries have been a great success; now for a failure. Celeriac, a celery relative that puts that flavor into its softball-sized white root, isn’t well-known as a vegetable, but I’d like to grow it. I’ve tried for the past couple of years, without success. The problem is some sort of celery blight that kills the top growth so that there’s no greenery to feed the root. Both early blight and late blight, fungal diseases, could cause problems. They arrived in gardens on infected celery seed and/or infected celery debris from the previous cropping season. Last fall I thoroughly cleaned up diseased plants, even planted some celeriac this year in the greenhouse. Failure occurred both outdoors and in the greenhouse, although lots of rain and heat could have helped (the fungi or bacteria, not me). I’m not giving up. Perhaps the seed is the problem. Seed can harbor the disease, but can be “cleaned” up with a heat treatment: 30 minutes at 118 degrees Fahrenheit. As a last resort, I could spray an organic fungicide, such as one of the organically approved materials based on copper or hydrogen peroxide. Perhaps this time next year I’ll be eating celeriac. – Lee Reich Any gardening questions? E-mail Lee at garden@leereich.com and he’ll try answering them directly or in his Almanac Weekly column.

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