Full Moon Meditation, Halloween Spirit Mediumship Circle at Mirabai in Woodstock

In Pagan practice, Halloween/Samhain is the end of the cycle of the solar year and the best possible time for letting go of unproductive psychic baggage – not to mention for reaching out to loved ones who have crossed over to the other side of the Veil, now at its thinnest. Two events coming up at Mirabai of Woodstock provide support for addressing these seasonal tasks. From 6 to 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, October 24, under the Taurus Full Moon, energy healer Jenn Bergeron will lead a night of meditation and healing. Participants will focus on grounding techniques, releasing all that no longer

The Fort Ontario Emergency Refugee Shelter upstate in Oswego was established by the War Refugee Board during the Holocaust. (Photo of refugees registering there in 1944 by Department of the Interior)

Remember Voyage of the Damned, Stuart Rosenberg’s 1976 all-star film about the MS St. Louis, an ocean liner carrying hundreds of Jewish refugees fleeing Europe in 1939, only to be turned away by both Cuba and the US? That’s the tragic narrative that many of us associate with America’s inadequate response to the rise of Nazism, but it’s only part of the story. There was actually an unsung US government agency that managed to circumvent stringent immigration policies and save tens of thousands of lives during the final years of World War II. In January 1944, a young Treasury lawyer named John Pehle managed to persuade FDR to authorize relief funds for use in helping Jews escape Nazi territory. The new War Refugee Board, with Pehle in charge, pulled together a team of DC government employees, international relief workers, smugglers, diplomats, millionaires and rabble-rousers to run operations across four continents and a dozen countries. Together, they tricked the Nazis, forged identity papers, maneuvered food and medicine into concentration camps, recruited spies, leaked news stories, laundered money, negotiated ransoms and funneled millions of dollars into Europe. They bought weapons for the French Resistance and sliced red tape to allow Jewish refugees to escape to Palestine. This remarkable account has been researched and documented by Holocaust historian Rebecca Erbelding in Rescue Board: The Untold Story of America’s Efforts to Save the Jews of Europe. Erbelding will give an author talk and sign copies of her book in the Center at

Forced to leave Afghanistan with her family in 1985 after witnessing the destruction of her country under Soviet occupation, and ignited by a drive to devote her life to promoting peace, tolerance, respect and acceptance, Nahid Shahalimi developed a career as an author, filmmaker and human rights activist. In 2009, she began collecting inspiring stories from women around the world, eventually publishing a volume titled We the Women. She returned to her homeland to collect women’s stories over the span of four years; the result of that project is a new documentary titled We the Women of Afghanistan: A Silent Revolution. The film will be shown at 1 p.m. this Sunday, October 20 at Upstate Films in Rhinebeck as part of Upstate’s Engage series of social justice documentary screenings. Afterwards, director Shahalimi will be joined by Sean Hepburn Ferrer and Susan Findel in a panel discussion on the international community’s involvement with women’s rights and opportunities abroad.

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

Foliage forecast Less sunshine = less red pigment

s leaves are just starting to color up, the question is, “Will the autumn leaf show be good this year?” First off, whether or not it’s good, global warming has pushed showtime forward a bit each year. Around here, the peak of the show used to be the middle of October; nowadays it’s the third week in October. Back to predicting how good the show will be this year: Throughout summer and into autumn, most leaves are, of course, green, which is from chlorophyll. Chlorophyll must be continually synthesized for a leaf to stay green. The shorter days and lowering sun of waning summer are what trigger leaves to stop producing it, letting other pigments lurking there out of hiding. The yellow and orange colors of leaves are always lurking there, thanks to carotenoid pigments, which help chlorophyll do its job of harvesting sunlight to convert into plant energy. I offer thanks to carotenoids for the especially warm yellow glow that they give to ginkgo, aspen, hickory and birch leaves. Tannins are another pigment, actually metabolic wastes, that all summer are hidden by chlorophyll. Their contributions to the fall palette are the season’s subdued browns, notable in some oaks and enriching the yellow of beeches. Because leaves harbor carotenoids and tannins all summer long, nothing particular about autumn weather should either intensify or subdue their autumn show. The only glitch could be an early hard freeze that occurs while leaves are still chock-full of chlorophyll. In that case, cell workings come screeching to a halt and all that are left are frozen green leaves that eventually drop without any fanfare. Autumn color also spills out reds and purples, most evident in red maples and some sugar maples, scarlet oak, sourwood, blueberry and winged euonymus. Those reds and purples come from yet another pigment, anthocyanins. Except for trees like Purple Fountain beech and Royal Purple smokebush, whose leaves unfold dusky-red right from the get-go in spring and remain so all season long, in most leaves anthocyanins do not begin to develop until autumn. Anthocyanin formation requires sugars, so anything that we do or the weather does to promote sugar accumulation in autumn will increase anthocyanin levels in leaves. Ideal weather conditions for sugar accumulation are warm sunny days to maximize photosynthesis, and cool-but-not-frigid nights to minimize nighttime burning up of accumulated sugars. The many cloudy and rainy days for the past weeks don’t bode well for a great autumn show

The many cloudy and rainy days for the past weeks don’t bode well for a great autumn show of leaf color: less red because less anthocyanin is formed, and any that does form is diluted.

of leaf color: less red because less anthocyanin is formed, and any that does form is diluted. Weather plays its part in autumn color, but we can also have a hand in its development. One way to ratchet up the reds and purples is to make sure that leaves bask in light. I plant a tree where light is adequate (for that species) and, as necessary, prune so that branches don’t shade each other. Streetlights don’t count as light, and actually have a negative effect, disrupting the signal that days are getting shorter and that it’s time to slow chlorophyll production. We also can ramp up the autumn show by planting trees genetically programmed for good autumn color. Among the most colorful-leaved trees and shrubs – which, besides those previously mentioned, include goldenrain tree, hickory, ironwood, black tupelo and fothergilla – individuals within each species might pack a bigger wow than the others. Hence the spicebush variety Rubra, brick-red in fall, or Wright Brothers sugar maple, whose leaves become a mottling of gold, pink, orange and scarlet. Admittedly, the weather trumps (sorry) all. For more about some of the science going on behind the scenes in your garden, and how to put it to practical use, see my new book, The Ever-Curious Gardener: Using a Little Natural Science for a Much Better Garden, from which the above is adapted. There’s another orange in the garden this autumn, and it’s not in the leaves or the fruit – the hardy orange – about which I recently wrote. It’s the Osage orange (Maclura pomifera). I grew my two trees from seeds extracted from a local Osage orange that I found on the ground. Each tree is about 25 feet tall and intimidating for their large, mean thorns. Trees are either male or female, so I lucked out, ending up with one of each, allowing the female to bear. Why would I plant such a tree? For interest: This native of the Midwest was, thanks to its thorns, a predecessor of barbed wire for containing livestock; also the primo wood sought after by Native Americans for their bows; and the wood is among the most rot-resistant of any tree. The softball-sized fruit also is very interesting, with all its convolutions looking something like a green brain. Although related to fig and mulberry, it’s not at all edible. The fruit is claimed, without substantiation, to repel insects and spiders in and around homes. – Lee Reich Any gardening questions?

By land and by sea New Paltz Kayaking/ New Paltz Bicycling make scenery accessible, by the hour

hat does a handyman adept at plumbing, carpentry and electrical work, plus ten years experience in sales, decide to do when he hits his 30s and wants to be outdoors more often? If you’re New Paltz native Craig Chapman, you look around your bucolic landscape and figure out what’s missing. And when Chapman did just that, he came up with a plan. New Paltz Kayaking and New Paltz Biking are the results of Chapman’s creative efforts. Six years ago, he noticed the lack of kayak rentals in an area threaded through with a picturesque river. “Nobody was doing it anywhere along the Wallkill. I wanted to be outside full-time,

Craig Chapman’s New Paltz Biking rents mountain bikes for the large and small at the River-to-Ridge trailhead parking lot near the intersection of Springtown Road and Mountain Rest Road in New Paltz. His other business, New Paltz Kayaking, offers kayaks by the hour or day from a trailer located at the nearby Sojourner Truth Park at 31 Plains Road, also along the Wallkill. Chapman will also do kayak dropoffs and pickups at Chodikee Lake and Black Creek in Highland, at locations on the Rondout and Esopus Creeks, private lakes and other Wallkill River locations.

“This could all be houses instead of beautiful scenery.” so I figured I’d hang out by the river one summer with some kayaks for rent, and the business took off from there.” More recently the young entrepreneur contacted the Open Space Institute (OSI) and proposed a bike-rental scheme to be launched in conjunction with the new River-to-Ridge Trail that runs along the Wallkill River Flats from the Carmine Liberta Bridge to Springtown Road and further links to the protected lands on the Shawangunk Ridge off Butterville Road. Spanning OSI and Mohonk Preserve parcels, the trail is relatively flat, making it an easy ride and offering area residents and visitors access to enjoy what OSI president Kim Elliman calls the “irreplaceable scenic, agricultural and recreational landscape.” Chapman could not agree more. He loves the land where he grew up. “As far back as I can remember, I wanted

to be outside in nature,” he says. He doesn’t regret his early experience in sales, however, because in doing that, it became natural for him to engage with people and know how to answer their questions satisfactorily. “But after five years in an office, it wears on you. Still, my whole life – including sales – has geared

me up for this. I have a wife and young children, so I wanted to carve out more family time. I operate out of two locations: one at Sojourner Truth Park for the kayak rentals, and at the trailhead parking lot on Springtown Road for bicycles. Both are open Thursday through Tuesday; I hire a college kid to help out on weekends.” Chapman parks a trailer full of bicycles – 18 mountain bikes, a selection of kidsized bikes plus two trailers and a tagalong

and helmets – at the Trailhead just outside New Paltz. He sets up a mini-maintenance station near the picnic tables and pulls out a few bikes. One of his goals is to arrange bike tours where people can participate in a couple of outdoor activities along the six-hour tour, including visiting local wineries. “I’m also thinking of advertising in the wedding industry to do pre-wedding activities with wedding parties. And I’ll do dropoff services within a 15-mile radius, such as delivering bikes up at Minnewaska for riders to take the four-to-five-mile downhill ride back.” The six-mile River-

Best-selling author Gene Stone (The How Not to Die Cookbook) will be the special guest speaker.

The documentary video Where Slavery Died Hard: The Forgotten History of Ulster County and the Shawangunk Mountains Region premieres on October 20 at the Stone Church in Cragsmoor. While researching for the Cragsmoor Historical Journal, archaeologists/preservation consultants Wendy E. Harris and Arnold Pickman discovered that in 1820, one of Cragsmoor’s early families contained an enslaved child and that, in the same year, over 500 enslaved children of African descent were living in Ulster County. In 1790, when the first federal census was taken, ten percent of the county’s total population was enslaved. Within the Shawangunk Mountains Region, however, the percentage was twice that. Through research, Harris and Pickman were able to document where the enslaved lived in the southern part of the county and what their lives may have been like.

Chapman’s other trailer is parked along the Wallkill at Sojourner Truth Park at 31 Plains Road, and it’s loaded with single and tandem kayaks and canoes. He’ll also do dropoffs and pickups at Chodikee Lake and Black Creek in Highland, at locations on the Rondout and Esopus Creeks and at private lakes and other Wallkill River locations. Chapman says

that these kayaking excursions are great for first-timers. “We’ve had people from two years to 80+ years old. You will not have a problem navigating the river. Even for some of the locals who hike and bike the trails, but have never been out in a kayak, you get to see different scenery on the river.” Partnering with Minnewaska State Park, the Mohonk Preserve and OSI has been crucial to Chapman’s business and to his commitment to stewardship of the land and river as well. He talks about

how OSI purchased 850 acres of flatlands and gave them back to the Preserve, and doubled the size of the State Park. “People need to know about these nonprofits that conserve and protect the land, the water, wetlands and wildlife. This could all be houses instead of beautiful scenery. I want to be an ambassador for everything New Paltz and outdoors – forever.”

ART

Harlem Renaissance sculptor Augusta Savage’s legacy preserved in Ulster County

et us agree, as a baseline value, that people are more valuable than things, always. This being said, still there is something about the destruction of great art that strikes the heart in a particular way that the death of an individual, or even a population, cannot. We ache and rage when we learn how the Nazis torched great European artworks that they had stolen, sooner than let them be taken back by their owners, or when we see the Taliban dynamiting sixth-century Buddha statues along the Silk Road because they are “graven images.” Some objects were meant to outlast one or more human lifetimes. They shape our cultures, which in turn shape us. In America, a disproportionate amount of the art lost to spite or greed or neglect has historically been art made by people of color. The single most popular artwork displayed at the 1939/40 New York World’s Fair – the image that dominated postcards sent home, the way that Michelangelo’s Pietà did at the same site a quarter-century later – was a 16-foottall statue titled The Harp, a/k/a Lift Every Voice and Sing. It was sculpted by one of the leading lights of the Harlem Renaissance, born in Florida in 1892. Her name was Augusta Fells Savage, and her masterwork was destroyed at the end of the Fair’s two-year run because the artist couldn’t afford to pay to have a bronze casting made of the plaster original. The loss must have come as a bitter reminder of a girlhood when her Methodist minister father had beaten her regularly for making images: models of farm animals sculpted from clay. But a schoolteacher encouraged young Augusta’s evident talent, and before long she was winning ribbons for her art at local fairs. Married at 15, a mother at 16, soon widowed, remarried and then divorced, she made her way to New York City in 1921 with a letter of recommendation and less than five dollars in her pocket. Fortunately, Cooper Union recognized Augusta Savage’s promise, not only admitting her ahead of 142 men, but also awarding her room and board. She completed the fouryear course of study in three years.

support from the WPA. But by the early 1940s, between war rationing and a growing public unease with artists who moved in the same circles with socialists, federal funding was cut off. Both the Art Center and the gallery closed. The J. Edgar Hoover-era FBI trained its sights on her. And something else was making Savage’s Harlem life especially difficult: a persistent stalker. Savage had met the eccentric bohemian writer Joe Gould at a poetry reading in the 1920s, after which he became “romantically” obsessed with her. So in 1945 she decided to leave her city life behind, relocating to Saugerties to live in a farmhouse with her grown daughter Irene. Savage turned a chicken coop into a sculpture studio and continued taking small commissions, lecturing and teaching for the rest of her life, but her once-international fame faded. She raised chickens and pigeons to sell in New York City; wrote children’s books; took care of mice in the cancer research laboratory of Herman Knaust, who made sure that she always had clay and invited her to give lectures and read poetry at soirées at his riverfront estate, Stroomzeit. The neighbors called her Gus. Savage died of cancer in 1962, in obscurity; as is often the case, her work became collectible again after her death. Though much of it has been lost, some has surfaced in recent decades (along with counterfeits, the sincerest form of artistic flattery) and been snapped up by prestigious museums and private collections. Her best-loved sculpture, a bust of a saucy Harlem boy in a cocked cap titled Gamin, is on display at the

After graduation, Savage worked in a steam laundry to support her family, who had moved into her Harlem apartment following her father’s stroke and the loss of their Florida home to a hurricane. But she began to get commissions for work, including busts of prominent black leaders such as W. E. B. DuBois, Marcus Garvey and William Pickens, Sr. In 1925 Savage had to turn down a tuition scholarship to the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Rome because she couldn’t afford the voyage or accommodations. Grants and fellowships eventually enabled her to take up an internship in Paris, where her work won prizes in prestigious exhibitions, and later to travel through France, Belgium and Germany studying sculpture. In 1934 Savage became the first African-American member of the National Association of Women Painters and Sculptors (now called the National Association of Women Artists). Both an

Hudson Valley Pottery Tour

ixteen artists will be showing their wares at the second annual Hudson Valley Pottery Tour this weekend, offering visitors the opportunity to see and purchase one-of-a-kind works in clay. What’s more, you can get an insider’s look at where they work, which can be an inspiration for any and all makers who dream of having a studio of their own. Doug Peltzman, the drive behind the Tour, lives and works in Shokan. He talks about his idea of creative community, particularly within a region such as ours that is rich with many talented makers: “There’s a tradition of community in the pottery world that’s unlike any other discipline I’ve encountered. Prior to making pots, I was a painter; in a lot of ways I still am, if you look at my work. That sense of community amongst potters, to me it’s very simple. We all share clay, and we all have this fascination with this formless material that we bring form to. Most often that material becomes a utilitarian object – something I can fill with water or put food on. “But it has to do with the materiality of the clay, and of pots being more than just vessels for food – rather, vessels for experience and community-building. My hope is to not only bring in people who are enthusiasts and collectors of pottery, but to have my neighbors come over out of curiosity and maybe bring home a handmade pot: something that enhances their daily experience and makes it richer in some way. ” Peltzman is enthused about the possibility of having this communal open-studio event well into the future, to support local potters in expanding their client base while building on their individual techniques and skills. He enjoys teaching, especially talking to young people who might want to put their hands on clay. He continues to draw and get his ideas down on paper, and says that he is beginning to mature as an artist, letting go of former restrictive ideas and taking on new ways to work. “I don’t feel the need to pigeonhole myself into one type of aesthetic or one body of work. I throw pots, but I also press them on a 30-ton hydraulic ram press; I slipcast and hand-build with coils like people have been doing for 10,000 years. What happens over time – and you can see it in the work of all my cohorts on the tour, my icons, people who are seasoned makers – I think that change comes from confidence, and in my case with age and maybe with experience with the material. Watching them work, you can see that same fearlessness.” Peltzman’s studio is located at 59 Red Maple Road in Shokan. He’ll be hosting Haakon Lenzi and Lauren Sandler. At Kathy Erteman’s studio at 77 Cornell Street, #315, in Kingston, Julie Knight is the guest potter. Tim Rowan and Brian Croney will show their work at Rowan’s place at 149 Vly Atwood Road in Stone Ridge. Anat Shiftan will host Susan Bankert and Sarah Heitmeyer at 244 Leggett Road in High Falls. Ben Evans and Jen Allen are the guest artists joining Bryan Czibesz at 4129 US Route 209 in Stone Ridge. And Jeff Shapiro will host Gary Johnson and Andrew Sartorius at 62 Raycliff Drive in Accord. Check the website below for a map marking all six locations. Admission to all the studios is free and open to everyone. – Ann Hutton Hudson Valley Pottery Tour, Saturday, October 20, 10 a.m.-5 p.m., Sunday, October 21, 11 a.m.-4 p.m.; https://hudsonvalleypotterytour.com.

historic preservationists – including Herman Knaust’s granddaughter, Karlyn Knaust Elia – purchased Savage’s upstate home in 1999 and have been restoring it. Now an exhibition space, the residence is listed on the New York State and National Register of Historic Places as the Augusta Savage House and Studio. Further renovations, a website and an artist-inresidence program are reportedly also in the works. “Lift Every Voice,” an exhibit

presented by the Saugerties Historical Society of seven of Savage’s surviving sculptures, ran for more than six months this year at the Kiersted House. What’s next on the agenda for reclaiming the seemingly lost legacy of this great American artist and teacher?

In the exhibition catalog, Christa Clarke, PhD, senior curator of Arts of Global Africa for the Newark Museum and president of the Association of Art Museum Curators, writes that Audu is “in effect, reclaiming abstraction... In choosing to dialogue with works of African art that are themselves symbolic representations of concepts, he situates his geometric abstraction firmly within African ontologies. And in doing so, he also makes tangible the intangible, or perhaps hidden, presence of African sculpture within the legacy of Western modernism.” Describing the works in the show, Audu himself writes: “I am interested in the dualism of form and void, and the metaphysical relation between the tangible and intangible, something and nothing, light and dark, body and mind, the dual nature of being – the self in portraits.” Admission to both the reception and the exhibition is free.

Donald Lev poetry tribute in Woodstock on Monday Retrieving the spirit of beloved poet Donald Lev would be a difficult task under any circumstances. But the poets of Ulster County are going to give it a try. On Monday night, October 22 at 7 p.m., poetry returns for one night only to its old hangout, Harmony in Woodstock, for a tribute to Donald Lev. Lev was a prolific poet, publishing 18 books of poetry. During his final illness, which took his life on September 30, he asked his friends to bring him notebooks and pens. His uniquely sly and insightful work graced innumerable live poetry readings around Ulster County and in New York, where he had started publication of his poetry tabloid Home Planet News in 1979, along with his late wife and fellow poet Enid Dame.

his many other credits, Lev played the part of a poet in the classic cult film Putney Swope, for which he wrote his own lines. Lev had been a mainstay of the weekly poetry readings that took place for years at Harmony on Monday and Tuesday nights. That series ended this year, but it will return to its old location on the 22nd as area poets pay tribute by reading his and their own poems. Since Home Planet News published hundreds of poets through the years, many of them from the Woodstock area, there will be no shortage of readers.

Michael Platsky, the longtime host of the Harmony readings, will moderate this event. Donald Lev’s outstanding quality as a poet was his sense of humor. So anyone who was a part of the local poetry scene, or even attendees with a casual interest in

poetry, are assured of an amusing time. – Leslie Gerber Tribute to Donald Lev, Monday, Oct. 22, 7 p.m., free, Harmony, Wok & Roll Café, 50 Mill Hill Road, Woodstock; (845) 679-7760.

Following a month-long residency at the Orpheum Film & Performing Arts Center, Twyla Tharp and her dancers will stage a performance of two earlier works, plus works in progress. “Minimalism and Me” recollects Tharp’s experiences while living among major visual artists of the time and the influence the movement had on her choreography. The second work will be a restaging of two of the dances in the original “Eight Jelly Rolls,” inspired by Jelly Roll Morton. The comedic timing and slippery flow of movement in the choreography reflects the sense of ease and freedom of the 1920s. Tharp’s solo, nicknamed “The Drunk,” emphasizes the natural loose-limbed athleticism that became synonymous with her work.

rom a Billboard perspective and in the rebel language of rock narrative, the great songwriter, bassist and recordmaker Meshell Ndegeocello registers as confoundingly, demonstratively eclectic. Contrarian, even: one who runs from what the market wants her to be, one who ignores the nervous directives of label men. That story perplexes me.

Reviewing her last or six or seven records (luminous gems without fail: recommendations below), what strikes me most is the coherence and consistency of her vision, her ever-deepening command of a unique progressive/roots, organic/electro idiom.

My Dreams, I see someone who has architected a three-dimensional musical world in which the cerebral, minimalist groove genius of Prince meets lavish atmospherics and sonic manipulation, jazz-informed harmony that seldom says “jazz” explicitly and a lyrical/vocal persona far ahead of the curve in the ways it addresses identity: modulating selves not in the broad-canvas character invention of sympathetic artists like Bowie or Gabriel, but rather in subtly morphic ways, mirroring the deep integration of traditional and experimental, rooted and futuristic, in the music. After that record, Meshell commits to a single ensemble and deepens and refines the vision, trimming excesses and finding the hard kernel of her sound on Devil’s Halo, Weather, Comet, Come to Me and more: all conceptually differentiated records, but all of a piece as well. On the evidence of the last decade, Meshell can go just about anywhere in music while staying within herself and within the coordinates she has plotted, neither chasing trends nor fleeing them. It’s something pretty close to the definition of “mature artist” to know the nature of your spaceship and how to pilot it with nerve and range. She’s there, and she’s hardly resting. But there’s a big truth to the contrarian and type-busting narrative as well, and to find it, we have to go back to the last century – to 1993 and 1996, when the stunningly nimble bassist burst onto the scene with pair of simply badass groove records, records that swung from wide Bootsy funk on one hand to smooth jazz and R&B sophistication on the other, while drawing plenty from the hip hop renaissance into the middle of which Plantation Lullabies and Peace beyond

Passion were released. Ndegeocello came armed with a set of largely spoke-sung, politically volatile songs, laying down some genuinely transgressive and inflammatory spiel, Gil Scott-Heronlike, over a lithe, diverse bank of vibrant grooves. You were there, right? It was impossible not to be struck hard by Meshell Ndegeocello. That’s what adds such thick irony to her story of defying expectations: She was already allowed/expected to be transgressive and inflammatory. What more latitude could an artist want? Well, LOL! How about, in her own words, the right not to have to be funky? The latitude to develop the subtlety and range, the idiosyncratic harmonic and melodic dimension and the vulnerable, searching quality in her music? The license to collaborate across all lines? The latitude to be broadly musical and experimental and not typed by race? Was it too much to ask? The great news is that she did what she wanted (see above), she worked hard and has developed a vehicle for herself beyond type, worlds beyond that first, race-toned stamp of fame. The mixed news is that she might have prematurely truncated the multi-platinum phase of her career by doing so, and you might not know these records as well as you should. “Early on in my career, I was told to make the same kind of album again and again, and when I didn’t do that, I lost support,” says Ndegeocello. The whole contour of the story lends her new record enough purpose to knock you out. Ventriloquism is a historically focused set of covers. Ndegeocello has been doings covers – from radical readings to subtle recontextualizations – from the very beginning of her career, so she is adept

tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just the Wailers are synonymous with the popularization of reggae music; it is more profound than that. No single ensemble has ever been quite so singularly representative of its genre and responsible for its global spread. The Wailers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Bunny, Bob, Peter and the rest â&#x20AC;&#x201C; are reggae music to most people, plain and simple. Paradoxically, their wildfire international fame and ironclad association with the music of Jamaica set the stage for the breakout of countless other reggae, ska and rocksteady artists over the decades. The Wailers that will appear at Colony in Woodstock on Sunday, October 28 are no Menudo â&#x20AC;&#x201C; no distant descendants of the founders, with maybe â&#x20AC;&#x153;the original gear,â&#x20AC;? as the joke goes.

messaging. The set is composed entirely of songs that redefined black pop and R&B in the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;80s and â&#x20AC;&#x2122;90s. Prince is represented here, as are Janet Jackson, TLC, Tina Turner, George Clinton and a number of hitmakers without quite that level of staying power. The meaning of Ventriloquism is so subtle and potent that I am loath to try to articulate it myself. Again and again across the album, Meshell finds the vulnerable undersides, the eccentricity, the weirdness and the sweetness in songs generally understood to be dance and party anthems. A common strategy is to downshift: Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never heard quite so introspective a reading of George Clintonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Atomic Dog,â&#x20AC;? for example, and the skittish, surreal Django swing applied to Ralph Tresvantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sensitivityâ&#x20AC;? is delightfully absurd and effective. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I liked the idea of turning hits I loved into something even just a little less familiar or formulaic. It was an opportunity to pay a new kind of tribute.â&#x20AC;? On the moody and dramatic reading of Janet Jacksonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Funny How Time Flies When Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re Having Fun,â&#x20AC;? Meshell brings Janet onto her own progressive/ambient planet, revealing an elegance and gravity to the song that you might have missed the first time around. Ventriloquism doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t require a social thesis to be a good album, but it happens to have one anyway: something really keen and nuanced about creative license and resistance to race-triggered expectations. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the kind of statement that only a fully realized artist could effectively make. To reinforce the point without browbeating, Ndegeocello is donating a portion of the profits from Ventriloquism to the American Civil Liberties Union. And the real kicker is this: While the dust still settles on Ventriloquism and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still sussing it out, Meshell has released â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Militant Ecologist,â&#x20AC;? a gorgeous Nino Rotaesque duet with everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite guitarist Marc Ribot. Moving right along nowâ&#x20AC;Ś

Celebrating the release of their brainy and weird new full-length Icon of Ego, Arc Iris performs at the Falcon Underground in Marlboro on October 19. A project fronted by former Low Anthem member Jocie Adams, Arc Iris has maintained a high profile locally in recent years, with residencies at numerous local venues. In the same maximalist, otherworldly and hyperdetailed mode as their folkier debut and rockier second effort, Icon of Ego takes things in a decidedly indie/electro/rock direction and ought to be quite gripping live. Per usual, there is no cover charge at the Falcon, but direct-to-artist donation is how the Falcon keeps the good times rolling.

Choreographer Twyla Tharp

DANCE

Twyla Tharp in Tannersville

ollowing a monthlong residency at the Orpheum Film & Performing Arts Center in Tannersville, Twyla Tharp and her dancers will stage a performance of two earlier works, plus works-in-progress, this Saturday evening. Yes, that Twyla Tharp: the iconic and iconoclastic modern dance choreographer of more than 160 works, winner of two Emmy Awards, one Tony, 19 honorary doctorates, the Vietnam Veterans of America President’s Award, the National Medal of the Arts, the Jerome Robbins Prize and a Kennedy Center Honor. On the program is Minimalism and Me, which includes projections of Twyla’s early artwork as backdrops for selections reconstructed from dance pieces choreographed between 1965 and 1970. It recollects Tharp’s experiences while living among major visual artists of the time, illuminating the progression of Minimalism in the 1960s and ’70s and the influence the movement had on her choreography. The second work is a restaging of two of the dances from the original Eight Jelly Rolls (1971), Tharp’s first work intended for a proscenium stage, inspired by the music of Jelly Roll Morton. The show begins at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, October 20. Tickets cost $25 general admission, $20 for seniors and $7 for students when purchased in advance; at the door, they’ll cost $30, $25 and $7. To order, call (518) 263-2063 or visit https:// bit.ly/2OtEYf7.

An assured and authentic Americana rock band with obvious reverence for Dylan and the Band (especially the latter), American Nomads might be the ones having to catch their breath a little when they perform at the Bearsville Theater on Friday, October 19. This veteran band of writers and players might have to shake off a little awe at the world inside Goldman’s legendary barn theater. Then American Nomads will no doubt step up to the plate with the rangy and rich, dual-songwriter original roots/ rock on bold display on their 2017 release Ghost Highway. Tickets for American Nomads cost $20 in advance and $25 at the door.

Karl Berger fronts 4+2 Strings Attached at Falcon this Sunday

Karl Berger (photo by Dion Ogust)

Of course, jazz is not the only musical tradition with a claim to improvisation, but because the association of the two is so powerful, a lot of music gets called jazz that probably shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. It pays to remember that in the Western classical tradition â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in which virtually every composer was also a keyboard virtuoso, or close to it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; most composers were known to improvise. What, after all, are compositions but the improvisations that

you chose to remember and develop? Two giants of the canon who were especially well-known for their habits of public improvisation â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Baroque Ăźber-meister J. S. Bach and the brilliant Romantic pianistic miniaturist FrĂŠdĂŠric Chopin â&#x20AC;&#x201C; had uncoincidentally large roles in the seeding of what would blossom as jazz harmony and counterpoint centuries later. I feel a need to be careful with the J-word when describing the elusive music of Karl Berger, the longtime Woodstock resident and a venerable and boundarycrossing figure in serious 20th/21st-century music. Berger himself was cautious with the J-word when he, vocalist Ingrid Sertso and saxophonist Ornette Coleman founded the Creative Music Studio (CMS), the Woodstock-area experimental music incubator attended largely by jazz players of various stripes and still going strong under new director Billy Martin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jazzâ&#x20AC;? is notably missing as well from the AACM â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an organization kindred and contemporaneous with CMS, formed by progressive jazz musicians Anthony Braxton, Henry Threadgill and others in Chicago in the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;60s. In both names, â&#x20AC;&#x153;creativeâ&#x20AC;? stands consciously in the place where â&#x20AC;&#x153;jazzâ&#x20AC;? mightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve. I not only get it; I agree wholeheartedly. But what does â&#x20AC;&#x153;jazzâ&#x20AC;? have to do to get into an acronym around here anymore? In recent years, we have seen two big names in jazz piano â&#x20AC;&#x201C; first, the brilliant iconoclast Dan Tepfer and later the jazz piano superstar Brad Mehldau â&#x20AC;&#x201C; release records that alternate between conventional readings of classical keyboard music and Modernist improvisations on its themes, restoring the prerogative of improvisation to classical music without really referencing the dialect and expressive manners of jazz much at all. You will find both of these records in the Jazz section. Karl Berger has been undertaking related negotiations for years, and here in the sixth decade of his career, he is achieving some of the most lucid, mysterious and truly listenable results not only in his own history, but also in the history of â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for lack of a better term â&#x20AC;&#x201C; experimental jazz. Look: Post-swing jazz, modern classical music and improvised music ask a lot of their listeners, make no mistake. Principally, they ask you quite often to forgo the emotional gratifications encoded in the resolutions of tonal, diatonic music. They ask you to forfeit that highly evolved and Western sense of â&#x20AC;&#x153;homeâ&#x20AC;? for the promise of abstract liberations. And some free-jazz skronk, if I might be so bold, has little to offer in its stead except the hip political thrill of being someone who â&#x20AC;&#x153;gets itâ&#x20AC;? and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t require the old pablum of functional harmony. So I am in the habit of asking of experimental music at least as much as it asks of me. I am a tough customer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Outsideâ&#x20AC;? is not enough. And this is why I have no problem â&#x20AC;&#x201C; zero â&#x20AC;&#x201C; celebrating Karl Bergerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2017 outing In a Moment: Music for Piano and Strings as a mature and visionary work of composition and improvisation and one that renders the words â&#x20AC;&#x153;jazzâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;classicalâ&#x20AC;? pretty useless. This album got me right where I live: the reflective harmonic depth of serious music with some of the sense of spontaneous colloquy and play of jazz. Its lucid, quiet and deep piano pieces spin out an advanced, often serial-feeling harmony

that reminds me more of Satie, Webern and BartĂłk, variously, than of any jazz pianist I can think of. Bergerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s harmony is difficult, but spend a little time here and you begin to feel it as an alternative world, not just an absent one. So genre-agnostic are Bergerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mediations and dialogues that when he does conjure a swinging moment â&#x20AC;&#x201C; say, the oblique wit and surprisingly conventional tunefulness of the delightful solo piano piece â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fragments,â&#x20AC;? or the somewhatboplike clipped and elliptical figures in the burning, dialectical string piece â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maniâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; your mind will likely exclaim â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jazz!â&#x20AC;? for the first time. The rest of the time, the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;creativeâ&#x20AC;? will have to suffice to describe this gorgeous and spontaneous Modernist chamber music. On Sunday, October 21, Karl Berger brings 4+2 Strings Attached to â&#x20AC;&#x201C; where else? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Falcon in Marlboro. The ensemble, which will be emphasizing material from In a Moment, features Berger on piano and vibes, Ingrid Sertso on vocals and poetry, Ken Filiano and Michael Bisio on basses, Jason Hwang on viola and Sana Nagano on violin. The show begins at 8 p.m. Per usual at the Falcon, there is no cover charge, but direct-to-performer donation is what keeps them coming back. The Falcon is located at 1348 Route 9W in Marlboro.

Discover the Thomas Cole National Historic Site in Catskill

DION OGUST | ALMANAC WEEKLY

View from the porch of the Thomas Cole National Historic Site in Catskill (above) and his reconstructed studio (below)

ow did Englishman Thomas Cole catapult to the top of the 1800s US art game? The father of this new style of landscape painting, now known as the Hudson River School, had talent, skill and popularity. Already growing in prominence, he eventually made his way to a Catskill cottage for studio space, but after his marriage to Maria Bartow, he got to live in the main house permanently. His most famous work, The Course of Empire, was created right in Catskill. Cole was in love with the natural landscape of the Catskills and deeply resented the development of trains and roads and the influx of people, all of which he considered a “downfall” to the area. His criticism was pretty brutal, such as “the most noble scenes are made desolate, and oftentimes with a wantonness and barbarism scarcely credible in a civilized nation.” Or this gem from his poem, “Lament of the Forest,” in 1838: “A few short years! – these valleys, greenly clad, these slumbering mountains, resting in our arms, shall naked glare beneath the scorching sun.” My family enjoys the Thomas Cole National Historic Site because it’s local; the videos and tours are interesting and informative; the buildings are the same spaces Cole painted in and inhabited;

and the museum has created a number of wonderful details to connect the artist

with the rest of us. Here are four aspects of our visit that my family and I particularly appreciate about the museum: • 1. Immersion into the Thomas Cole experience begins immediately at Admissions, with an image of a Cole painting printed on each ticket. • 2. Infusion of modern art: The current exhibition of site-specific contemporary works in juxtaposition to Thomas Cole’s creations greatly enhanced our visit. I didn’t “get it” at first; I assumed I would be uninterested seeing art that isn’t his. Quite the opposite! This mix of styles and textures is brilliant. One favorite of mine is impossibly constructed with thread; another is a display of amazing glass cylinders: “Thomas Cole was fascinated by how color connects to music, to emotion

and the natural world,” said curator Kate Menconeri. “This exhibition explores that fascination through contemporary eyes – those of artists who are expanding our experience and understanding of color two centuries later. Simultaneously they, like Cole, explore color at the intersection of art and science, and as both light and pigment.” This display of works is comprised of 11 local, contemporary female artists.

Halloween Journey at Catskill Center

aunted house/hayride tourist attractions are fun places to visit on an October evening. But for many of us, being chased by a guy with a chainsaw just doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to capture what the Halloween/Samhain tradition is all about. If you long for more of a sense of enchantment in your life, hoping for a glimpse of the realm of Faerie that lies just beyond the veil that grows thinnest this time on the Wheel of the Year, you really ought to check out the Halloween Journey, which makes its ninth annual visit to the Maurice D. Hinchey Catskill Interpretive Center in Mount Tremper later this month. Conceived by actress Cara Cruickshank as â&#x20AC;&#x153;an event that promotes wonder, not fright,â&#x20AC;? and produced in partnership with the Pine Hill Community Center, CafĂŠ de la Culture and 100,000 Poets for Change, the Halloween Journey is subtitled â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Mysterious and Magical Celebration of Catskills History, Ecology and Folklore.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fully immersive nighttime theatrical experience, set outdoors in nature and lit mainly by candles and jack oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lanterns, but totally kid-friendly and even wheelchair-accessible. The evening begins with a bonfire and live folk music, with seasonal treats including hot apple cider and homemade chili for sale. Next, you embark on an adventure into the forest to encounter legendary characters of Catskill history, fantasy and folklore: Rip van Winkle, Sojourner Truth, John Burroughs, Celtic fairies, indigenous animal spirit guides and so on, each offering kids a secret treasure or treat. The Halloween Journey will be staged twice this year: between 6 and 9:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, October 26 and 27 (the rain dates are October 28 and 29). Online in advance (or at the gate if space is still available), tickets will cost $25 per adult, $18 per child. For an extra $20, you can get a Wizard Pass that allows to apparate at the front of the line. For $100, you get the full VIP treatment, including the Wizard Pass, a full meal and an afterparty with the troupe of actors, poets and musicians.

301

: Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the number of acres dedicated to Bowdoin Park, a versatile recreation and education center in Dutchess County. Who is this â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bowdoinâ&#x20AC;? for whom the park is named, anyway? After decades of use as farmland, George T. Bowdoin be-

queathed the land to the Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Aid Society in 1928 for boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; farming classes and co-ed summer camps. The land was sold to Dutchess County in 1975. Thankfully, it has been preserved as open space â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as opposed to its other potential fates as a residential development or a landfill. If Poughkeepsie is the Queen City, then Bowdoin Park is her Townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crown jewel. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s open all year long. Looking for an accessible playground, inexpensive classes like archery or survival or Nerf, a chapel, a family-reunion venue, ice skating, sledding, sprinklers, hiking trails, concerts or more? How about scenic Hudson River views? Bowdoin Park is what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for. What do my kids like best about Bowdoin, especially as theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gotten older?

Do you have any projects that you have been diligently working on for decades? A commitment to something intensely challenging that uses tools from a bygone era, while maintaining a consistent vision? Harvey Fite did. Bard College Fine Arts founder Harvey Fite spent 37 years building a large wooden-and-stone home, studio, garage,

blacksmith shop and the Quarrymanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Museum. But the showstopper is his construction of a 6.5-acre sculpture known as Opus 40. I could look at any number of photos of Opus 40, but I find it impossible to capture the massive scale and creativity of this unique place without experiencing it directly. After we purchased our tickets, my entire family scattered to go exploring. This is not a place where kids say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Are we done yet?â&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;How long are we staying here?â&#x20AC;? Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re too fascinated by their surroundings! Ramps, walkways, tiny passages, expansive spaces â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Opus 40 has it all. What doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it have? Cement or mortar. These swirls, segments and straightaways are painstakingly pieced together simply by shape and gravity. And definitely read about the amazing process of raising the iconic obelisk positioned in the middle of the structure. Who can resist following each winding path that eventually connects to an open area, which leads to a new direction down a different twisty trail, only to spot a fresh possibility to go this other way? Precisely why each of my family members claims the site their own, calling it â&#x20AC;&#x153;myâ&#x20AC;? Opus 40. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even a wonderful fountain. My daughter finds the entire space calm and peaceful and keeps requesting return visits. For those who enjoy facts with the fantastical, Opus 40 has that, too, with its informative introductory video and the Quarrymanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Museum displays of period tools. Tickets cost $10 for adults, $7 for seniors and $3 for children over 6, and admission is free for children under 6. Group rates are available for more than six people. A popular venue for concerts and other special events, Opus 40 is an essential destination for locals and tourists alike. Opus 40 is located at 50 Fite Road in Saugerties. For more information, call (845) 246-3400 or visit www.opus40.org. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Erica Chase-Salerno

What’s hard about “new” in my cancer journey? “Just when I discovered the meaning of life, they changed it.” – George Carlin “Hold onto your potatoes!” – Temple of Doom

ometimes I feel like Indiana Jones in Temple of Doom’s Battle on the Bridge scene, where he’s holding onto the rope bridge with one hand, trying to survive the forces intent on killing him. “Reality continues to ruin my life.” – Bill Watterson

My recent scan results show stability in some areas, liver progression, slight increase in brain swelling and a heart refilling with fluid. In cancer calculus, that adds up to receiving new meds. There’s the big picture: I’m alive. And then there’s the rest, which is where my attention goes right now. My energies are already spent plodding through appointments, scans, blood draws, meds and even meds for my meds. In this new chapter of my cancer chronicles: Will I have pain? Baldness again? Will this chemo help? Does it extend my life? No way to tell yet. “You know the trouble with real life? There’s no danger music.” – Jim Carrey When is boring preferable to interesting? Cancer appointments. No one wants to be the “interesting” patient. I dream of uneventful, dull, routine test results. I measure time in seasons, and I am grateful to be here in the middle of autumn. As the weeks flow by, I’m getting a glimmer of the possibility of winter. “Why don’t they give us things we can actually use? I don’t need a thinner phone. You know what I need? I need a tortilla chip that can support the weight of guacamole.” – Ellen DeGeneres My entire life right now is predicated on change, from shifting soccer practices to

unanticipated black-bean grocery runs to trying a clay class to celebrating new marriages to grieving loved ones. Honoring what is. More than ever before, I find I need quiet. Reflection. Rest. Rides. Retreats. Rationing my energies. Reclaiming peace from the busyness of daily life. Perpetual rounds of online Boggle. Sometimes it’s hard for me to take space, because I don’t want to waste any moments. Is that too much pressure on myself? Probably. “As the wise man once said, ‘So?’” – Will Ferrell So I plod on, infused with love and laughter – not just a new chemo, not just a rope bridge. Not just potatoes. Life.

NIGHT SKY

The consummate sky-speaker You say tomato and I’ll say Tucana

hose of us who love English and perhaps even make our living from it – which includes teachers, writers, bloggers and editors – often have pet peeves about pronunciation. But what annoys one fussy grammarian may seem quite all right to another. I’m not bothered if someone says “irregardless” or even “mis-CHEE-vee-us.” And sometimes the seemingly incorrect pronunciation is actually not wrong. Take for example the brouhaha over “I couldn’t care less” versus “I could care less.” The latter was the more recent arrival in the US (in the 1950s), and it is downright illogical when you think about it; but many seem to think it’s the better way to say it. Nonetheless, it’s actually more proper to stick with the original “couldn’t care less.” But one word is so consistently mispronounced that I’ve been repeatedly corrected when I say it the right way, which is why it drives me bonkers. This word is “consummate” when used as an adjective, as in “the consummate pastry chef.” The word brims with potential pitfalls. When used as a verb, as to “consummate a marriage,” everyone rightly says CON-sum-mate. And when used as an adjective to mean “of the highest caliber,” everyone says, “She’s a CON-sum-it pianist.” This is flatout wrong, but bear with me and you’ll see why it’s interesting. It should be pronounced con-SUM-it, with a strong stress on the middle syllable. This whole issue arises because, when I was introduced last month as a speaker at a big Minneapolis astronomy convention, the host called me a CON-sum-it astronomy writer. I felt appreciative of his compliment, but it took every ounce of willpower to keep from correcting him onstage, which would have been obnoxious. That’s why I’m venting. If you love English, here’s the story as explained in the Stack Exchange website: Consummate is one of a fairly large number of -ate words in English whose adjective and verb forms are always, usually or often pronounced differently. Words that follow this pattern include aggregate, animate, appropriate, approximate, correlate, degenerate, deliberate, deviate, duplicate and so on. In the adjective form, they usually have an “it” sound at the end. And so does consummate, so it isn’t some weird exception. While we’re doing pronunciation, let’s review the actual universe. Sadly, relatively few speak about astronomical objects, which makes such pronunciations almost up

for grabs. It doesn’t help that Alex Trebek on Jeopardy invariably uses the vox pop way of saying things rather than the correct way whenever there’s a divergence between the two. He always says your-AIN-us and recently uttered BEETLE-juice, instead of the proper YOUR-in-is and BET’l’juice – although, in fairness, some dictionaries do list the star’s pronunciation as Beetlejuice ever since the 1988 Geena Davis movie that was spelled that way, and thus it’s not wrong. But VAY-ga is always wrong: The star should be pronounced VEE-ga. Indeed, Vega was pronounced WEE-ga until about a century ago. In the constellation department, the most commonly mispronounced of the 88 groupings is Scorpius, because people often mistake it for the astrological sign and therefore say Scorpio. When it comes to comets, the winner (or loser) will probably always be the first periodic (returning) comet ever found, named after its discoverer Edmund Halley. So it should be HAL-ee’s comet. Instead, people recall the ’50s rock group Bill Haley and his Comets and say it the way that chubby performer did, as HALE-ey. A star, a constellation and a comet: Get them right and you’ll come off as a consummate observer. – Bob Berman Want to know more?

TITLE. This Local Law shall be known by and may be cited as â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Ulster County Human Rights Protection Act of 2018â&#x20AC;?. SECTION 2. LEGISLATIVE INTENT AND FINDINGS. The Ulster County Legislature hereby finds and declares that the CountyÂ has the responsibility to act to assure that every individual within the County is afforded certain basic rights and freedoms to which all human beings are entitled, including but not limited to the right to life and liberty, freedom of thought and expression, and equality before the law. The Ulster County Legislature recognizes, finds and determines that the laws and regulations of the United States of America and the State of New York prohibit acts of discrimination, including discrimination in employment, discrimination in public accommodations, resort and amusement, discrimination in housing accommodation, discrimination in commercial space and land transactions, and discrimination in the issuing of credit based upon impermissible considerations relating to a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race, color, religion, ethnicity, creed, age, national origin, alienage or citizenship status, familial status, gender, including gender identity, gender dysphoria, transgender status, group identity, marital status, sexual orientation or disability. In enacting this local law, the County is acting to empower its citizens and to provide local assurances for the safeguarding of basic rights and freedoms and the prevention of unlawful acts of discrimination. The Ulster County Legislature finds that the adoption of this law is an appropriate exercise of the police power for the protection of the public welfare, health and peace of the people of this County.

Ulster County (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Commissionâ&#x20AC;?). Section C-102 of the Ulster County Charter provides that â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Commission of Human Rights shall have all of the authority, responsibility, obligations, powers and duties set forth in Article 12-D of the General Municipal Law and shall also have the authority to create bylaws for its own governance, proceedings and activities.â&#x20AC;? The Commission exists to foster mutual respect for the rights of all citizens and to explore opportunities for improving relations among all people of Ulster County. Pursuant to Article 12-D of the General Municipal Law, the Commission is empowered to, among other things, seek the active assistance of the New York State Division of Human Rights (â&#x20AC;&#x153;State Divisionâ&#x20AC;?) in the solution of complaints which fall within the jurisdiction of the State Division (G.M.L. Section 239-r) and where and to the extent authorized by local law, to report, but not initiate, any such complaints to the State Division (G.M.L. Section 239-q(2)(a)). The Ulster County Legislature specifically finds and declares that it is in the interest of the County to encourage its citizens to reason together to reduce tensions within the many diverse communities in Ulster County arising from alleged acts of discrimination, prejudice and intolerance by resort to the Commission, or its authorized designee, through a process of conference, conciliation and persuasion at the local level, and that it is imperative to include within the duties and responsibilities of the Commission, or its authorized designee, the task of actively monitoring and assisting persons through the process administered by the State Division for such claimed human rights violations that have not been successfully resolved by the Commission, or its authorized designee, at the local level through mediation and conciliation. The Ulster County Legislatureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intent in creating this local law is to empower the Ulster County Human Rights Commission pursuant to Article 12-D of the General Municipal Law to engage in processes of conference, conciliation and persuasion, with the active assistance of the State Division, if needed, in the solution of complaints which fall within the jurisdiction of the State Division, including those complaints within the scope of State Regulation 9 NYCRR Â§466.13 pertaining to Gender Identity, Transgender Persons, and Gender Dysphoria, as such terms are defined by the State Regulation, so as to amicably resolve such complaints, reduce tensions, build consensus and foster harmony between the various diverse communities within Ulster County, and to otherwise report, but not initiate, such complaints to the State Division, and to include within the duties and responsibilities of the Commission, or its authorized designee, the task of actively monitoring and assisting persons with claimed human rights violations through the process administered by the State Division or the Hearing Officer for such claims that have not been successfully resolved by the Commission, or its authorized designee, through mediation and conciliation, or where respondent has refused mediation and conciliation. SECTION 3. DEFINITIONS. The following terms are defined as follows in the implementation hereof and any terms not specifically defined herein shall be defined by reference to New York State Executive Law Section 292: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Place of public accommodation, resort or amusementâ&#x20AC;? shall be defined as the term is defined in New York State Executive Law Section 292(9). â&#x20AC;&#x153;Disabilityâ&#x20AC;? shall be defined as the term is defined in New York State Executive Law Section 292(21). â&#x20AC;&#x153;Discriminationâ&#x20AC;? shall be defined as the term is defined in New York State Executive Law Section 292(19).Â â&#x20AC;&#x153;Group identityâ&#x20AC;? shall refer to race, color, religion, age, national origin (including ancestry), alienage or citizenship status, ethnicity, familial status, creed, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, or disability.Â â&#x20AC;&#x153;Genderâ&#x20AC;? shall include actual or perceived sex and shall also include a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gender identity, self-image, appearance, behavior or expression, whether or not that gender identity, self-image, appearance, behavior or expression is different from that traditionally associated with the legal sex assigned to that person at birth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gender identityâ&#x20AC;?Â means having or being perceived as having a gender identity, self-image, appearance, behavior or expression whether or not that gender identity, self-image, appearance, behavior or expression is different from that traditionally associated with the sex assigned to that person at birth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Transgenderâ&#x20AC;?Â is an individual who has a gender identity different from the sex assigned to that individual at birth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sexual orientationâ&#x20AC;? shall be defined as the term is defined in New York State Executive Law Section 292(27). SECTION 4. Article XXX, Section C-102 of the Ulster County Charter is hereby amended to so read: The Commission of Human Rights shall have all of the authority, powers, duties and obligations expressly set forth in Article 12-D of the General Municipal Law, and shall also have the authority to engage in processes of conference, conciliation and persuasion, with the active assistance of the New York State Division of Human Rights (â&#x20AC;&#x153;State Divisionâ&#x20AC;?), if needed, in the mediation and solution of complaints

within the jurisdiction of the State Division, so as to amicably resolve such complaints, reduce tensions, build consensus, and foster harmony between the various and diverse communities within Ulster County and to otherwise report, but not initiate, any such complaints to the State Division, and shall also have the authority to create bylaws for its own governance, proceedings and activities, but shall not exercise any powers, duties or obligations not otherwise expressly set forth in General Municipal Law 12-D. The Commission is authorized to receive complaints of all persons in Ulster County with claimed human rights violations arising under any New York State, Federal or Local human rights law or regulation occurring in Ulster County and to engage all interested parties who consent to do so in an effort to mutually resolve such complaints through mediation and conciliation before the Commission or its authorized designee. In the event that no members of the Commission are able or willing to engage in mediation or conciliation of a given complaint as in the case of a conflict of interest then, subject to Legislative appropriation sufficient to pay the expense thereof in a sum not to exceed $10,000.00 per year, such complaints may be referred upon consent of all parties to the complaint, to an accredited community dispute resolution center within Ulster County operated under the auspices of Article 21-A of the Judiciary Law for the sole purpose of conducting such a non-binding mediation and conciliation as specified herein. The Commission or its authorized designee shall actively monitor and assist persons with such claimed human rights violations through the process administered by the State Division, or pursuant to Section 5 hereof by the local Hearing Officer, for such claims that have not been successfully resolved by the Commission, or its authorized designee, through mediation and conciliation at the local level should such persons elect to file a discrimination claim with the State Division or the local Hearing Officer. The assistance rendered under this paragraph shall not include the rendering of legal advice or legal representation to any party. The Commission or its authorized designee shall maintain records of all complaints received by it during each calendar year and shall make a report to the County Legislature by March 31st of each year summarizing the number, type and disposition of such complaints. Such annual report shall not include names or personal identifying information of any party. SECTION 5. Article XXX, Section C-101(B) of the Ulster County Charter is hereby amended to so read: The Commission of Human Rights shall have 11 members appointed to terms of three years, three members of whom shall be appointed by the legislative Chairman, three members by the legislative minority leader, and five members by the County Executive, one of whom shall be designated by him or her as the Commission Chairman. Appointments shall be representative of the various religious, racial, ethnic and nationality groups in Ulster Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s communities. No member of the Commission of Human Rights shall serve more than two consecutive terms of three years. SECTION 6. INDEPENDENT ADMINISTRATIVE HEARING OFFICER. 1. An Independent Administrative Hearing OfficerÂ (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hearing Officerâ&#x20AC;?) is hereby created, established and authorized to hear complaints of persons in Ulster County with claimed human rights violations arising under any New York State, Federal or Local human rights law or regulation occurring in Ulster County where such claims have not been successfully resolved by the Commission, or its authorized designee, through mediation and conciliation at the local level, and to issue orders assessing monetary damages or other appropriate non-monetary relief where liability is determined to exist. 2. The Hearing Officer shall be appointed by the County Executive, subject to confirmation by the Legislature, and shall serve at the pleasure of the County Executive. Any Hearing Officer so appointed shall be an attorney admitted to practice law in good standing by the State of New York having been so admitted for no less than five (5) years. Such appointments shall first be made from a panel of retired Supreme Court Justices residing in Ulster County, but if none are able or willing to serve, from any eligible attorney. 3. The Hearing Officer has the authority to require the attendance of witnesses or the production of documentary evidence by subpoena. 4. The Hearing Officer may not accept any complaint hereunder unless it is accompanied by certification from the Commission that 30 days has passed since receipt of the complaint or that respondent has refused mediation and conciliation, whichever shall first occur, or in the alternative that mediation and conciliation of the complaint has been attempted but has not resolved the complaint, and by a waiver and relinquishment, sworn to by the complainant, of any and all rights to file a complaint with the New York State Division of Human Rights, any federal civil rights agencies, such as the Department of Housing and Urban Development (â&#x20AC;&#x153;HUDâ&#x20AC;?) or the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (â&#x20AC;&#x153;EEOCâ&#x20AC;?), or with the commission on human rights of any city, town or village located in Ulster County, which is based upon the same transaction or occurrence or series of transactions or occurrences which are the subject of the complaint sought to be filed. The Hearing Officer shall promulgate and make available

Oct. 18, 2018 appropriate forms of complaints, certifications and of waiver and relinquishment. 5. The Hearing Officer shall give to respondent written notice of the complaint and an opportunity to request a hearing on the complaint. 6. The written notice shall include, at a minimum: (A)Â A concise statement of the factual basis for the complaint; (B)Â The amount of damages claimed; (C)Â The provisions of State, Federal or Local human rights laws or regulations alleged to have been violated by respondent; (D)Â The right to request a hearing on the material facts and/or the amount of the damages; and (E)Â A copy of the rules of the hearing procedures which have been promulgated by the Hearing Officer. The hearing shall provide a reasonable opportunity to be heard, to assert any applicable answer, affirmative defenses, cross claims or counter claims, to move to dismiss, to crossexamine witnesses, and to present evidence free from interference, coercion, restraint, discrimination, or reprisal, and the parties shall have the right to be represented by a person of his/her choice at any stage of the hearing and proceedings at their own expense. 7. If the respondent fails to appear at the hearing without good cause being shown and the complainant presents a prima facie case against the respondent, the respondent may be found in default. The motion for default and a proposed default order shall be served by the Hearing Officer on all parties, and the defaulting party shall have twenty (20) days from service thereof to reply to the motion. The proposed default order may be set aside for good cause shown in accordance with the Civil Practice Law and Rules. Default by the complainant shall result in the dismissal of the complaint with prejudice. 8. Should liability be found after a hearing, in determining the amount of monetary damages to be assessed, the Hearing Officer shall consider the seriousness of the violation(s); any history of such violations; the economic impact (benefit or harm) resulting from the violation(s) to complainant; the economic impact of the damages to be assessed to respondent; and such other factors as justice may require. Money damages, or other non-monetary relief, awarded hereunder shall constitute a judgment as that term is defined in the Civil Practice Law and Rules, which may be enforced in accordance with that statute. 9. The Hearing Officer shall establish rules and forms for discovery consistent with Article 31 of the Civil Practice Law and Rules, and for administration and implementation of this section, including procedures for conducting hearings, motion practice, and other necessary proceedings. 10. Any person against whom money damages, or other non-monetary relief, are assessed under this section may obtain judicial review of such assessment in accord with Article 78 of the Civil Practice Law and Rules. 11. The Hearing Officer shall maintain an abstract of all complaints received each year, which abstract shall include the date and subject matter of the complaint, the names of the parties, and the disposition of the complaint. SECTION 6. DAMAGES. If a decision of liability is made by the Hearing Officer, money damages payable to the complaining party may be assessed of not more than $20,000, and/or such other non-monetary relief as the Hearing Officer may deem just, proper and equitable. The Hearing Officer may not award, and each party shall bear its own, attorney fees, costs and expenses. SECTION 7. GOVERNMENTAL IMMUNITY/NO SPECIAL DUTY CREATED. This Local Law does not create any special duty by Ulster County. Any and all liability and consequential damage resulting from either (a) a violation of any provisions of this Local Law; or (b) the enforcement of any provisions of this Local Law is hereby disclaimed and governmental immunity is retained. SECTION 8. SEVERABILITY.

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.)

for and given the kindness all animals deserve. In return, you will get unconditional love and a companion of a lifetime. Why adult cats? You know how large or small theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be, their temperament which, by the way, only gets sweeter when taken out of the stress of being in a cage in a shelter. Speak to Elly, Morgan, or any of the volunteers to see which one or ones would do best in your home. All adult cats have been spayed/neutered, up to date w/shots and litter pan trained. ATHENA; 2-year old affectionate black and white tuxedo cat girl. She was a wonderful mama to many kittens; so wonderful that she took in some orphaned babies and loved them like they were her own. Athena does well w/other respectful kitties. BOBBI; approximately 2/3 years old. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s white w/gray stripes. If you have attention to give, Bobbi will happily be on the receiving end. REBEL; less than a year old handsome boy (all white w/a black tail) & loves other kitties. Do you have a kitty who needs a BFF? DOLLY; approximately 2-years old mostly gray w/ white paws, a white bib and chin. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outgoing, beautiful and would love to be your one and only! MOO; 2-year old black & white cat girl. A laid back gal & was a great mama to her kittens. Now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s her turn to be loved. BRITTANY; approximately 3-years old mostly black cat girl w/a white bib & muzzle. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d love a home where she could be the star of the show. CINNAMON; handsome 10-year old orange cat boy whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had a terrible year. First his caregiver, whom he loved dearly, passed away. Then, in his next home, the resident cat & dog didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want another brother and were mean to Cinnamon. Now Cinnamon has been in a cage for many months just waiting to be loved again. Saugerties Animal Shelter can welcome you Tuesday-Saturday, 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Call (845)679-0339. MEOW!!! Want to help but canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t adopt a cat?
