Become A Volunteer!

Assist others through crucial moments in their life and connect them to essential services that help begin their healing process.

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.

This 40-hour training program prepares volunteers to assist victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, and other violent crimes. Upon completion participants will receive certification as a Rape Crisis Counselor/ Volunteer as established by New York State Department of Health guidelines.

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 ďŹ ts in.

(That’s what you’re selling.)

LOCATION: OfďŹ ce in Uptown Kingston, but we are exible.

AREA: Mostly Ulster and Dutchess counties, as well as some adjacent areas.

COMPENSATION: Base + commission. Pay commensurate with experience.

Lecture on Arctic narwhal expedition

I

t’s said that, in centuries past, the spiral tusks of narwhals were regarded as proof of the existence of unicorns. Marine biologists studying this elusive cetacean today are discovering that this “horn” – in fact, an overgrown tooth – has ingenious if not magical properties. The tusks of living narwhals are surprisingly flexible and incorporate a system of nerves that can detect temperature, pressure and motion.

In 2000, a team of scientists led by Dr. Martin Nweeia traveled to the Arctic to learn more about this fabulous beast and its extraordinary sense organ, and Dr. Nweeia has been devoting his career to unraveling those mysteries ever since. Joseph Meehan, who once taught at Dutchess Community College, has served as expedition photographer/documentarian over the past decade. He’ll be giving an illustrated lecture sponsored by the Rosendale Library on Wednesday, titled “Land and People of the Arctic.”

Meehan will take his audience on a visual journey through stunning landscapes of the High Canadian Arctic and Greenland, sharing candid portraits of Inuit hunters whose knowledge reflects generations of survival in the north (and was also instrumental to Dr. Nweeia’s narwhal research). This free presentation begins at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, September 26 and takes place at the Rosendale Community Center, located at 1055 Route 32 in Rosendale. To find out more, call (845) 658-9013 or visit www. rosendalelibrary.org.

ndrew Solomon’s award-winning 2012 nonfiction best-seller, Far from the Tree: Parents, Children and the Search for Identity is about what it means to be family, and above all, about love, no matter what. Now there’s a documentary film based on the book, directed by Rachel Dretzin, opening this Friday for a weeklong run at Upstate Films in Rhinebeck. Author Solomon will be on hand for talkbacks following two of the screenings: at 8 p.m. on Friday, September 21 and at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, September 22.

Far from the Tree is an intimate, profoundly human look at families raising children whom society deems “abnormal”: a mother and son determined to show the world that Down syndrome does not define him; a couple learning to communicate with their bright-but-nonverbal autistic son; a young woman dealing with what it means to be the only “little person” in her family; and parents whose deep love for their son persists even after he has committed an unspeakable crime. Andrew Solomon’s own story plays out between segments of the movie, sometimes bridging the other tales.

Tickets for Rachel Dretzin’s Far from the Tree cost $10 general admission, $8 for students and seniors, $6 for Upstate Films members. For more information or to order, visit https://upstatefilms.org/far-from-the-tree.

MOVIE Studiofest in Phoenicia helps up-and-coming ďŹ lmmakers

Even in this digital age, independent filmmaking is a costly undertaking.

Many talented newcomers manage to get their short films shown at festivals, but that’s no guarantee of finding the distributors or backers needed to produce a first full-length feature.

Consequently, many a promising career stalls out at that stage. Filmmakers Charles Beale and Jess Jacklin decided to do something about that disconnect by organizing a film festival whose winner is guaranteed a financial backer enabling him or her to leap that hurdle. It’s called Studiofest, and its first-ever crop of entries will be unveiled this weekend in Phoenicia.

Five short-form filmmakers and five feature-length scriptwriters have been selected to compete, with free room and board and a travel stipend. They’ll spend the weekend with a group of industry pros, including judges Jamie Donnelly, Stephen H. Foreman, Andrew Wonder, Shruty Ganguly. Becky Burkhard and Liz Nord, getting feedback on their work.

On Sunday, one filmmaker and one screenwriter will be given the opportunity to partner with Studiofest to create a debut feature film, with a $30,000-to$50,000 budget.

On Saturday, September 22, the finalists’ script-readings (11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.) and short-film screenings (2:30 to 5 p.m.) will be open to the public; your $20 ticket gets you admitted to both. The public part of the festival goes down at the Phoenicia Playhouse Community Theatre, located at 10 Church Street in Phoenicia.

An exclusive Filmmakers’ Soiree at the Graham & Co., with dinner supplied by Blue Mountain Bistro, runs from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m., with a few $125 tickets still available as of presstime. To learn more or purchase tickets, visit https:// studiofestofficial.com.

MUSIC Mudd Club book talk at Kingston Artists Collective

The legendary Mudd Club symbolizes the heady cultural milieu of the New York of the late ’70s and early ’80s – yes, punk-rock and New Wave, but so much more in all the arts, in fashion and in the art of decadence. In that exclusive downtown club, JeanMichel Basquiat and Jeff Koons partied with David Byrne and Lydia Lunch. Keith Haring claimed membership while Andy Warhol was only a guest. Debbie Harry learned to rap from Fab Five Freddy while Klaus Nomi practiced arias and served home-cooked pastries. Richard Boch was there for it all – working the door.

He recalls, “Standing outside, staring at the crowd, it was ‘out there’ versus ‘in here,’ and I was on the inside. The Mudd Club was filled with the famous and soon-to-be-famous, along with an eclectic core of Mudd regulars who gave the place its identity. No Wave and Post-Punk artists, musicians, filmmakers and writers living in a nighttime world on the cusp of two decades. There was nothing else like it. I met everyone, and the job quickly defined me. I thought I could handle it, and for a while, I did.” Richard Boch presents a slideshow and reading from his new book The Mudd Club on September 23 at the Kingston Artists Collective.

Neko Case at the Bardavon

F

ox Confessor Brings the Flood (2008) seems to be the one that sold most people on Neko Case. Since then, she has emerged as something like the female equivalent of Tom Waits: an unapologetically idiosyncratic songwriter and record-maker who, like Tom, can appear as a deep roots torchbearer or as a mad pop avant-gardist, depending on your vantagepoint. Like Waits’, her songs are vivid, acutely imagistic and overarchingly mythic. Her melodic acumen is pretty much unerring, and the production and arrangements of her records are always arrestingly original and deep: little worlds from which you emerge, a little changed.

She is a giant, but one you don’t always think of because of, because she stands so far afield. “Well, yeah, of course, and Neko Case.” 2018’s poppy and weird and wonderful Hell-On is her first new collection since 2013, not counting her somewhatunderwhelming supergroup collaboration with k. d. lang and Laura Viers, and it is an absolute fully realized treat that seems to get better as it goes – but that is only because we have been conditioned to expect albums to slack off.

The Bardavon presents Neko Case on Friday, September 21 at 8 p.m. Ticket prices range between $40 and $50 and are available at the Bardavon box office at 35 Market Street in Poughkeepsie, (845) 473-2072, the UPAC box office at 601 Broadway in Kingston, (845) 339-6088, or online at www.bardavon.org.

Opening the show will be Thao of The Get Down Stay Down. Case has partnered with PLUS1 so that $1 from every ticket will go to Peer Solutions’ youth programs, designed to prevent harm before it begins. For more information, visit www. peersolutions.org.

Tarun Bhattacharya at Mountain View Studio 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.

9 brought their utter top-shelf Beatles homage to the barn, leaving eyes watering and jaws agape.

One of the most consistently astonishing things about the Fab Faux is the drumming of Rich Pagano. It’s an object lesson in the greatness of Ringo, of course, but Pagano is so much more: a guy with a time-feel and pulse so supple and musical that you could (and they do) hang an orchestra on him. Meanwhile, Pagano also happens to be one of the Fab Faux’s two superstud vocalists: the one who specializes in Lennon rock mode.

I bring this up because, when an Early Elton John Trio tribute comes to Levon’s on Friday, September 21 at 8 p.m., who do we find on the drum stool but Rich Pagano? That alone is reason enough to go. Early Elton features Jeff Kazee of Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes (piano, vocals), Rich Pagano of the Fab Faux (drums and vocals) and John Conte of Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes (bass and vocals).

Elton John had to restructure his album arrangements because his record productions were very big, but his small road budget only allowed him to tour as a trio from 1970 to 1972. The legendary live shows from this period found Elton, Nigel Olson and Dee Murray in bracing form. The trio will perform Elton John’s 11-17-70 live LP in its entirety, plus other favorites from the era.

hat are your thoughts on drive-in movie theaters? In our family, it’s a summer tradition.

We went when our kids were tiny (and slept through everything): the only way we could see a current movie at the time.

We are so fortunate to have a variety of drive-ins in the Hudson Valley, but this year, I found my favorite: the Four Brothers Drive-In Theatre in Amenia.

The entire operation feels well-thoughtout, beginning with staff-escorted parking.

Get carhop service via cellphone, or walk the short distance to order and pick up. We ordered Nutella milkshakes, and I think it’s one of the best choices I have made in my life. The food is tasty, outside décor is delightfully kitschy and the prices are reasonable. You can even order off the Four Brothers restaurant menu – when’s the last time you ate a Greek salad at a movie?

KIDS’ ALMANAC

Tour the Rondout Lighthouse

W

ish you could feel that “get away from it all” vacation feeling without the travel? Are you looking for creative ways to entertain family or friends?

Try a Rondout Lighthouse tour! My kids and I had a terrific time on this adventure, starting with the commute: The Rondout Lighthouse is only accessible by boat. The 15-minute ride was an instant immersion into “I have a feeling we’re not in Kingston anymore,” but without Toto or the tornado. And with a limit of six people per tour, our group of family and friends had our own personal docent.

My kids took a ton of photos because the lighthouse is so interesting visually, and we were permitted to enter almost all of the rooms. Being inside these quirky, cozy quarters, we imagined living there, gazing at beautiful river views through every window. My The last family lighthouse keeper Robert Howard and his daughter delight was tempered by envisioning the challenges Esther heading to town from the Rondout Lighthouse in 1943 of grocery shopping year-round from this offshore (Donald Ringwald Collection | HRMM) home. The spiral staircase leads all the way to the top, where the actual beacon is. Owned by the City of Kingston and managed by the Hudson River Maritime Museum (HRMM), only funding stands between an eventual furnished, renovated historic space with plumbing and its current state of an empty and ironically waterless watchtower. (So definitely “hit the head” at the museum before you embark on this tour.)

Reserved lighthouse tickets are available for the noon and 3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday tours at $20 each, no discounts; the rest are first-come, first-served on the actual day of the tour on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays and priced at $20 for adults, $12 for ages 5 to 12 and free for children 4 and under, with reduced rates for HRMM members. Tours last for just over one hour, with start times every 45 minutes beginning at noon, with the last departure of the day at 3:45 p.m. Don’t ask how I know this, but arrive early, because they will leave without you if you’re late.

Since admission to the museum is included in your ticket price, we had a good time browsing through the exhibits afterwards, featuring hands-on activities for kids like playing captain at the helm turning a ship’s wheel (fun photo op!), and seeing actual table settings from the luxurious steam paddleboats that used to run up and down the river back in the day. Please note that while the museum is wheelchair-friendly, the boat and lighthouse are not wheelchair-accessible.

The Hudson River Maritime Museum is located at 50 Rondout Landing in Kingston. The final day of the season for Rondout Lighthouse tours is Sunday, October 14. For more information or to purchase reserved tickets, call (845) 338-0071 or visit www.hrmm.org/rondout-lighthouse.html.

VISIT THE STUDENT-STAFFED TREVOR ZOO IN MILLBROOK

D

id you know that there’s a zoo with a wide range of animals from around the world right here in the Hudson Valley? I had never heard of the Trevor Zoo until I had kids, and since then, we have paid many visits here. It’s so cool to walk the short distance from the parking lot and have to pass the river otters at the entrance. We spend lots of time watching their playful bobbing and weaving in the water before we even “begin.”

The zoo’s manageable size and mostly flat terrain makes it doable for toddling family members and strollers while maintaining the interest of much older siblings; how many places can claim that? The Trevor Zoo is a must for everyone with or without children, because of the variety of animals, the fact that it’s open every day of the year and its relaxed environment. Bring a picnic and watch the otters and crane while you eat! Despite the zoo’s many visitors, you may find you have the place to yourselves – especially if you go on a weekday. My favorite animal is the red panda, my daughter loves all snakes and my son is thrilled to catch glimpses of the red wolf.

Wherever you are in the zoo, the bathrooms are nearby, and indoors, in the Meigs Education Center. Speaking of which, I encourage teachers, homeschoolers and Scouts to inquire about class offerings for the public.

The Trevor Zoo is owned and operated by the Millbrook School, and all of the animals are cared for by students and staff. The zoo is open every day of the year, including all holidays, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., with last entry at 4:30 p.m.

Admission costs $6 for adults, $4 for seniors and children ages 3 to 13 and is free for children under 3.

The Trevor Zoo is located at the Millbrook School at 131 Millbrook School Road in Millbrook.

ERICA’S CANCER JOURNEY

How Die Hard influenced my action plan

E

EEP! EEEP! EEEP! My family was in our motel room getting ready for lunch when the fire alarm sounded throughout the complex. We were in vacation mode, none of us smelled or noticed dangerous fumes or smoke and the other guests seemed just as complacent, so I was slow to react until I realized we really should actually leave the room. As we headed outside, summer temperatures and a rain-free day meant that none of us had shoes on. Suddenly I channeled John McLane, the lead character in Die Hard, who performed most of the movie with bare feet, including the brutal scene where he walks on broken glass. “Hey!” I shouted to my family. “Take your shoes!”

I couldn’t think of anything else to grab, aside from my purse and phone, as we hustled out, sliding our footwear on while we hopped/walked outside. I was concerned that we could be displaced for hours, and what about the broken glass that was surely out there... somewhere.

Bruce Willis in Die Hard

I keep medical and contact information by the door, my MOLST form with end-of-life directives on my fridge and my Power of Attorney and Living Will forms in a safe. I need to streamline and make sure this paperwork is quick and easy to find. I have to get a permanent DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) bracelet. [Side note: It took me four tries to spell “resuscitate.”]

Doctor’s office: All our records are electronic; now just fill out these 12 forms.

Our rescue unit had an interesting call last week at the local upholstery shop: Guy fell into an automatic slipcover machine. Don’t worry, though; the hospital said he’s fully recovered.

It’s been a while, but I should probably review our household meet-up plan in case we’re ever displaced. And before this fire-alarm incident, it never occurred to me to create one for other places we might sleep in, like a friend’s house or other lodging.

The fire alarm was turned off within a few minutes, and we returned to making sandwiches. But the entire experience raised some questions for me: What should I do in a true emergency, especially while traveling? Obviously, life is worth more than things.

Things can be replaced; lives cannot. But this emergency “practice” run humbled me into understanding that I wasn’t prepared, I reacted too slowly, and I can do better.

Terminal Illness: Getting sick at the airport.

Q: Why did the author go to the emergency room?

A: His editor told him he needed an appendix removed.

I am going to find my “Al” and connect with some first responders to see what else is helpful for people to prepare better for the unexpected. And if any of you reading this happen to work in emergency services, I’d be interested in your helpful tips: kidsalmanac@ulsterpublishing.com.

Head On and Heart Strong!

Love, Erica

Assuming there’s an opportunity to grab anything while rushing out, I would want my shoes, phone, wallet, meds and advance-care directives. But the reverse is much more likely: What if I were the emergency? Do I have readily available what first responders need to care for me? Pre-cancer, I did not keep a medical info sheet on my wall.

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.”

Sept. 20, 2018 Lake Taghkanic State Park and, using a magnifying glass, laboriously counted the grains in a cubic centimeter – a sugar cube’s volume of beach. (This tells you how important my time schedule was back then.) It took more than an hour; but, it turned out, this was the easy part.

Next, I multiplied this by the total number of cubic centimeters of earthly beaches. There’s no way to do this with any precision. Merely learning how many

square miles of beaches are on this planet is not simple to find. I had to extrapolate and make educated guesses. But the other part of the equation was easier: To find the number of stars, we simply multiply the average total per galaxy by the estimated number of galaxies in the visible cosmos, which is somewhere between 200 billion and a trillion.

That’s the observable universe. We can’t tackle the actual universe – the part

farther than where everything expands at light-speed – because we cannot see it and hence have no idea what’s there. It might even be infinite.

Anyway, I got a big surprise: The numbers pretty much matched. There are about the same number of stars in the observable universe as there are sand grains in all of Earth’s beaches.

Ah, but that’s not how the cliché is commonly phrased. More usually, people

say “sand grains on Earth,” which means you’d have to go beyond beaches to include all the vast deserts and undersea sand, which is extensive beyond imagination.

Obviously, if you include all that, there are incomparably more earthly sand grains than stars. More sand than stars.

That takes care of that chestnut. So maybe we can tackle other famous astronomy expressions. Roget’s Thesaurus and a Google search uncovered a bunch

Bistro-to-Go launch of Feel Good Food

A

quarter-century has passed since Mary Anne and Richard Erickson opened the original Blue Mountain Bistro in Woodstock, relocating to the corner of Glasco Turnpike and Route 212 in 1996. Along with their son Chris, who grew up in the restaurant, they opened their present location, Bistro-to-Go, in November 2007, across from the Harley-Davidson dealership on Route 28. Over the past decade the Ericksons have expanded to include an on-premises bakery, café, gourmet grocery and full-service catering operation, featuring top-quality restaurant chefs serving food seven days a week.

And now they’ve got a cookbook out, drawing on all this experience: Feel Good Food: Recipes from the Hudson Valley’s Blue Mountain Bistro-to-Go. Chef Richard shares many of his favorite recipes collected over the years. Artist Mary Anne, who also designed their vintage-inspired neon road sign, sets a new bar for the contemporary cookbook with vibrant watercolors, line drawings, photography and playful design. Both will be on hand to sign copies of the newly released cookbook and offer samples from recipes in Feel Good Food on Saturday, September 29 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., as Blue Mountain Bistro-to-Go hosts an official book-launch to celebrate their silver business anniversary. All are welcome, and copies of the book will be available for sale. To find out more, visit https://bit.ly/2MGS96W.

MUSIC

NIGHTMARES FOR A WEEK TO RELEASE NEW RECORDING AT BSP IN KINGSTON

I

tend to think of power pop and pop/punk fans as lab rats in a pleasure-button experiment who discovered that, working collectively with their tiny little spider paws, they could slide a brick over that button, pin it down for good and just go about their lives high as a f*cking kite. Everything that there is – this ballpeen hammer, for example, or an oil-blotched puddle with a spent chocolate-milk carton floating in it – triggers untempered joy, grief, rage, wet kissing and total release. It’s tough on the heart and the knees, and maybe they secretly hope that the juice gives out sooner rather than later.

The veteran Kingston band Nightmares for a Week paints a musical picture that is all heroic deed and tragic catharsis, parties that end in tears, the ordinary as unfailingly epic, an economy of pure payoff just ’cause you were born into time and everything else sucks, straight to dessert, no waiting. Ever. When the dynamics dip – typically little more than a shallow divot that you can measure in milliseconds – it is just a half-pipe used to generate a little momentum for the next peak, the next flailing, fist-pumping leap into the yap of a modern world that chews ordinary people up.

But I did say that they are “veteran.” They are savvy and smart about it. They know the deal when you are all about the sugar. NfaW’s legendary live sets are downhill, airtight, leakproof, relentless and short. And if the next act up isn’t the Boss himself, well, good luck.

On their bracing, literally delight-full new record Celebrations, NfaW prove, for the second time in four years, that their art of electric catharsis is not exclusively a live thing; it transmits well from the studio because, once again, they are smart and veteran about it. They have mastered the microdynamics of cranked, the finer grades within the general category of “10.” They are deceptively savvy stylistically, mixing a few totally on-topic genre expansions (the ’50s girl-pop of “Beautiful Boys,” the pre-Ramones garage punk of “Peep”) in with their baseline sound: working-class E-Street-inspired epic guitar pop, with some of the brightness and jangle of pop/punk and a vein of noisy electric fritz imported from an ’80s Minnesota garage.

Celebrations is front-loaded with viable singles, though every song is imagined as a hit. The clap-along “Arrows” sports an irresistible, emotionally deepening chorus and might be the first among equals here. The eternal-adolescent anthem “Summer” drops a winking hint at the gentlemen’s current state of life (“tell your mother, tell your wife”), just as the aforementioned “Beautiful Boy” seems more likely to be about parenthood than about teen heartbreak. With its inscrutable refrain of “dark glasses, black masses,” the title track gets at what amounts to the record’s thesis: These times are shit, but we are alive and we have each other.

A sense of “crowd” enlivens this record from beginning to end – in the gang choruses and stray room voices, in the way that the two-singer band passes the mic at pivotal moments within songs (those lead-vocal handoffs are NfaW’s secret weapon).

This veteran-but-still-young rock band preaches a vision of something like collectivism without a trace of prescriptive hippie ideology. It’s a blue-collar collectivism of getting by, reliance and service and shared tears among family, friends and community.

There is plenty of tragedy hinted at, but the gentlemen have made the choice to be heroic.

Nightmares for a Week celebrates the release of Celebrations on Friday, September 28 at BSP in Kingston. They will be joined by Hairbag and the Sci-Flies. Admission costs $8 at the door, and the show starts at 8 p.m. BSP is located at 323 Wall Street in Kingston. For more information, visit www.bspkingston.com.

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

Feeling your oats – and buckwheat

A

bout a month ago, the greenhouse was looking messy as oxalis, grasses, chickweed and other weeds were starting to carpet the mostly bare ground: an unacceptable situation, considering that a month hence (now) I would need the space for planting in preparation for fall and winter.

The first step, back in August, was obviously to clear away the weeds, pulling almost each and every one out, roots and all. As long as weeds aren’t too overgrown or too abundant, the job is pleasantly satisfying. Moist soil also helps.

Pulling out weeds differs from the usual approach of preparing the soil by tilling it to discombobulate and bury weeds. I avoid tillage because it exposes buried weed seeds to light, which is just what new weeds need to germinate and grow. Tillage also burns up valuable humus and discombobulates not only the soil, but also resident fungi, earthworms and other beneficial organisms.

I wasn’t ready to plant anything in some of those greenhouse beds a month ago, yet I hate to look at bare soil. (Mother Nature is equally repulsed by bare soil; she clothes it with weeds.) So I planted buckwheat, sprinkling the seeds thickly over the beds.

Buckwheat provides a quick and temporary cover of the bare ground. Sprinkling it with water assured its getting off to a quick start.

Finally, I covered the ground with an inch-thick layer of compost. That amount of compost will nourish whatever’s growing in the beds for a whole year. It also provides cover to hold moisture around the buckwheat.

Only a few days later, buckwheat sprouts were already peeking up through the compost blanket. They went on to grow quickly in the heat of the season. Aboveground, the dense foliage was, I hoped, doing its job of shading out any new weeds trying to sprout: something for which buckwheat is famous. Belowground, the roots were latching onto nutrients that might otherwise leach away, bringing them up into the roots, stems and leaves.

By the first week in September, buckwheat stems were flopping down onto the ground. Anyway, it was time to remove them to make way for planting the greenhouse.

I was anxious to see what kind of new weed growth, if any, presented itself beneath the buckwheat.

The goal was to remove the buckwheat without disrupting the soil. My fingers easily raked off the tops, which detached themselves from the roots that were left intact in the soil.

Buckwheat lived up to its reputation: I could hardly find a weed anywhere!

Outdoor beds in the vegetable garden have been receiving similar treatment, with some wrinkles. Those beds that are finished for the season – not needed for autumn harvest – get cover crops of oats rather than buckwheat. Buckwheat doesn’t like cool weather and is killed by the slightest frost.

The advantage of oats over buckwheat is that oats enjoy cool weather, growing lush

and green, and even tolerate quite a bit of cold weather. So any bed no longer needed for autumn vegetables and cleared before about the end of September gets oats (and compost). After the end of September, short days don’t provide enough light for the oats to grow enough to warrant planting.

One benefit of oats, buckwheat and any other cover crop is that they keep up appearances. While I have great respect for soil, it’s not pretty to look at – and being bared isn’t good for the soil or the plants growing in it. I’d much rather look at a uniform green carpet than bare brown soil.

No need to rush summer vegetables out the door quite yet. I had the opportunity to try out a new tomato this season: Garden Gem, which has received a lot of fanfare.

Time-travel back to 1995, when tomato breeder Harry Klee of the University of Florida began to suss out what makes a great-tasting tomato using heirloom varieties, gas chromatography and tasting panels. Then fast-forward to 2011: a field in Florida, where Harry tastes the result of his effort to breed a great-tasting tomato that is disease-resistant and productive, and stands shipping. And so was born Garden Gem, the offspring of the luscious heirloom variety Maglia Rosa and the variety Fla. 8059, excellent in all characteristics except flavor. Garden Gem scored as high as the heirloom parent for flavor.

As it turns out, even taste is a matter of taste: To me, Garden Gem is not a great-tasting tomato – not even a good-tasting tomato. It lacked any sweetness or richness to smooth out the acidity, which is basically all I tasted.

The “perfect supermarket tomato,” as it was billed, was also a commercial flop – for now, at least. It’s reported that Garden Gem is too large for a small tomato and too small for a large tomato and, anyway, that consumers don’t really care about flavor.
