The Falcon has never sold a ticket. Not one ever to anyone – not when Pat Metheny played here; not for Chris Thile, who might have sold out Carnegie Hall the night before. The Falcon has never charged a cover: not for John Scofield, not for John Burdick.

To paraphrase William Carlos Williams, “It is difficult to get the news from poetry, yet people die miserably every day for lack of what is found there.” But we do get the news in Michael Brownstein’s latest collection of poems.

Brian Reed helped revolutionize storytelling and a personal approach to investigative reporting with S-Town, a hit podcast that addressed an alleged murder in a small Alabama town.

The pinnacle of a serious young actor’s career is to be cast as Hamlet; but playing Lear is the aging actor’s crowning glory. No other role in the classical theater canon demands such regal pride and gravitas, or such capacity to turn oneself inside out with rage, remorse and despair. The great British thespian Ian McKellen has finally reached that stage in his career; his performance in the Chichester Festival Theatre’s current West End production has been earning rave reviews. Jonathan Munby directs this contemporary retelling of Shakespeare’s tender, violent, moving and shocking play, considered by many to be the greatest tragedy ever written. Rebroadcasts of a live performance of King Lear via National Theatre Live from London will screen at 1 p.m. on Wednesday, November 14 at Upstate Films in Rhinebeck ($10 general admission, $6 members) and at 2 p.m. on Sunday, November 25 at the Rosendale Theatre ($12 general admission, $10 members). This is a don’t-miss event at either venue. For more details, visit https://upstatefilms. org/king-lear and/or https://bit.ly/2Ov86hd.

ALMANAC WEEKLY

Nov. 8, 2018

BlasĂŠ biopic

Dynamic Rami Malek salvages slipshod Bohemian Rhapsody

S

o, after many delays and personnel changes since the project was first announced in 2010, they finally made a movie about Queen frontman Freddie Mercury. First Johnny Depp, then Sacha Baron Cohen were touted for the lead role, before settling on Mr. Robot star Rami Malek. X-Men helmer Bryan Singer gets the directorial credit, despite Dexter Fletcher taking over for him halfway through the production when Singer got fired for not showing up on set too many times. Such disorganization rarely bodes well for the success of a big-budget movie; still, the hype for Bohemian Rhapsody remained strong, on account of the cult status of Queen, and Mercury in particular, among Gen X and Gen Y music fans. Now the movie is out, and you can tell who the True Believers are by their rapturous reactions, mostly. I’ve actually seen a few fan reviews deeming it the “best movie I’ve ever seen.� Not all of those who closely followed Queen’s musical career are so uncritical, however. The film is catching a lot of flak for its historical inaccuracies. On account of the nature of the visual medium, biopics and other “based on true events� movies generally are accorded considerable forgiveness for telescoping timelines, combining characters (or making them one-dimensional because the story needs a villain) and otherwise playing fast and loose with the facts. It’s a movie, with not much more than two hours to tell its story; one does not expect the kind of strict accuracy that is possible in a carefully researched work of literary nonfiction. In this case, some of what was sacrificed is not sitting well with the fanbase, and in particular with those who admire Mercury as a pioneer in making a blatantly gay stage persona broadly acceptable to mainstream pop music listeners. What might in earlier decades have been dismissed as a novelty act on the level of

TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX

Bohemian Rhapsody

Tiny Tim became massively successful, largely on the strength of the singer’s four-octave vocal range and the rest of the band’s impressively tight musicianship. For some listeners (full disclosure: this reviewer included), Queen’s biggest hits still seemed a bit gimmicky, and definitely overproduced; but that was more a matter of personal musical taste than of Mercury’s inability to sell his flamboyant “queen� avatar. He was undoubtedly a performer’s performer. We get that from the movie, and Malek – despite being hindered by a prodigious set of prosthetic teeth that should get their own billing in the credits, not to mention a horrible wig during the first reel, set in the ’70s – absolutely delivers. Whatever flaws may attach to the depiction of his character, such as the fact that his flair and confidence onstage start out at 100 percent without benefit of experience, rather than developing over time, are attributable to problems with writing and direction, not to Malek’s performance. An Oscar nomination seems likely here. But Bohemian Rhapsody does many disservices to Mercury’s memory in its eagerness to condense the story and

make it easily digestible. By having the character find out about his AIDS diagnosis just before a fractured Queen gets back together to play the Live Aid benefit concert in 1985, instead of two years later as in real life, the screenplay cheapens and oversimplifies Mercury’s motivations. It presents him as the sole instigator of the band’s breakup, when in fact several members were doing solo projects in the same time period. While it glosses over some of the uglier excesses of Mercury’s hedonism after he came out as gay, the movie makes him seem more sympathetic in its earlier scenes when he’s still in denial. His fiancÊe Mary Austin (Lucy Boynton) is depicted as his better angel, his gay manager Paul Prenter (Allen Leech) as his corrupting influence. It would be all too easy for a homophobically inclined viewer to come away from Bohemian Rhapsody with a moralizing message that the producers probably never intended. The scenes that work best are the ones that celebrate the joyous familial relationship of a musical group that plays together well, with a strong sense of mutual respect for its members’ various strengths. Gwilym Lee, Ben Hardy and Joseph Mazzello are all wellcast as, respectively, guitarist Brian May, drummer Roger Taylor and bassist Joseph Mazzello. They’re depicted as content to let Mercury play the temperamental diva so long as he keeps on putting the music first. The writing gets cheesy at times, but the acting keeps this brotherly bond pretty persuasive. That said, next time I get in the mood to watch a movie about a pop/rock ensemble that transcends the kitsch of its own signature style via the sheer genius of one tormented musical visionary, I’d

rather go for a rewatch of Bill Pohlad’s 2015 Brian Wilson biopic, Love & Mercy. Bohemian Rhapsody isn’t terrible – the cinematography sometimes shines – and it’s often fun. But Love & Mercy is a much more professionally executed, emotionally convincing film on every level, showing us just how well such a project can and should be done. – Frances Marion Platt

Film about GMOs at TSL In Modified: A Food Lover’s Journey into GMOs (2017) a filmmaker and her mother embark on a poignant investigative journey to find out why genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are not labeled on food products in the US and Canada, despite being labeled in 64 countries around the world. Interweaving the personal and the political, the film is anchored in the filmmaker’s relationship to her mom, a gardener and food activist who battled cancer during the film’s production. Their intimate quest for answers, fueled by a shared love of food, reveals the extent to which the agribusiness industry controls our food policies, making a strong case for a more transparent and sustainable food system. Time & Space Limited will screen Modified at 7:45 p.m. on Friday, November 9, to be followed by a panel discussion featuring the film’s director/producer, Aube Giroux; Andrianna Natsoulas, executive director of the Northeast Organic Farming Association of New York; and Jody Bolluyt of Roxbury Farm in Kinderhook.

RAFAEL QUIRINDONGO | COURTESY OF THE FALCON

JAMES RICE PHOTOGRAPHY

Tony Falco

The Farsighted Vision of Tony Falco The Rise of The Falcon and the Muse of Marlboro Falls The Falcon then he Falcon in Marlboro is and will always be exactly as old as the 21st century and the third millennium AD. Tony Falco launched what would become his snowballing life project in the Fin de Millennium year of 2000, with you-know-what right around the corner. It was modest at first: an intimate, listening-room performance series with a potluck, pay-what-you-can community ethic, hosted by a music fan – a scientist, a successful man – in the warm, darkwood loft of his boutique barn in Marlboro. Jazz, broadly defined, was Tony’s passion and the house style. The vibe at the first Falcon was, to put it modestly, attentive. Listening rooms are the kind of venues where the audience brings its A-game, and it tends to be the same audience show after show: a real community at work. Listening-room cultures create the useful illusion that it is the performers who are coming out to witness and enjoy the famous crowd, not vice versa. Players sense this abiding commitment, this ritualized communal attention and these serious intentions, and they reciprocate.

T

They bring it. At the end of the night, most people on both sides of the piano exit with a feeling that music really was transmitted and received, at a rare level of clarity and connection. Yet there was something immodest about the Falcon from the very beginning – namely, the incongruous and improbable magnitude and renown of its performers. Even after adjusting for the commercial marginality of jazz in the 21st century – when you can walk right up to the greatest living legends the genre has known, and they just might ask you for a lift to the airport –there was something laughable about the cats who were playing for the tip jar at the original Falcon. Brad Mehldau? Dewey Redman? Dave Liebman? Joe Lovano? John Scofield? Come on, man. It makes you wonder. And what it makes you wonder is: Who is this guy, Tony Falco? I asked him recently about his connections to the jazz world – and by the “jazz world,” I don’t know what you mean, but what I mean is the single greatest intellectual and cultural achievement of 20th-century America (screw the Model T) and, for a time, the envy of the entire planet. I asked him via what secret identity and untold story he was able to

begin a modest listening room program at such an absurdly high level of content. At first, I thought his answer was dismissive: “Well, I love music, and my father was a musician.” Yeah, Tony, so do I, and so was mine – a pretty respectable amateur jazz pianist, in fact. So what? But now I think I hear what he was saying. It is one of several ways in which the Falcon has been visionary, prophetic. The g r e a t p l ay e r s were here already: shopping at the Hannaford, taking a number at the DMV, wiping their babies’ bottoms on those Murphy-bed changing stations at the mall, shoveling mung beans from the bins at the health food store. They’ve been here for years, living. Not playing. You were more likely to see a jazz legend passed out at a local club than gigging at one. And it wasn’t just Woodstock, either.

Certainly artists, intellectuals and especially musicians have been flocking to the high Catskills for a full documented century now. Everyone knows that, but Tony Falco knew something else: They were in Newburgh too, and Sugar Loaf, and Rockland C o u n t y, and Po u g h k e e p s i e . Okay, so Orange County lacks the magic mountains and their purling cataracts. It is not dotted with the preser ved campuses of failed ideological 20th-century arts colonies. But do you know what Orange County has? Short rides to New York, dig, and some nice raisedranch houses where a gifted tenor player and arranger might hope to raise a little family under budget. Tony foresaw a few important trends: First, the perennial upriver flight of Citybased talent as it eases into the breeding

The Falcon provided not only creative carte blanche for great players and composers, but also did it in a burnished, heightened, acoustically spectacular space.

and nesting years (hastened also by the you-know-what of 2001). Nothing new in that story, of course; but, as I suggested, Tony saw that it isn’t just to Woodstock that they flocked. More presciently, I think, in 2000, he may have intuited a changing, diminished musical economy in which even established national talents can no longer afford to pass on the local revenue streams, and, indeed, have become motivated to cultivate those connections and stronger community values in general. He intuited the increasingly D-I-Y and self-managed career model that professionals must embrace to sustain themselves in an era made lean by the virtual death of recording revenues. The Falcon happened when “local” was just starting to really happen again. That alone didn’t bring any big names to

his pop-up venue, so what did? “I used to play myself,” Tony told me. Yeah. I bet he did. One needn’t look further than his son Lee Falco, an in-demand and prodigiously gifted young drummer, for a sense of the gene quality. I bet Tony used to play. I bet. And from the start, the Falcon’s playercentric, player-friendly design has been at the heart of its success. Players – you know, players: the ones with the smug smiles and the excellent hand position – don’t get a lot of opportunities to play the music they most love, to play their heart songs, unless they are at the highest tiers of the game. The Falcon provided not only creative carte blanche for great players and composers, but also did it in a burnished, heightened, acoustically spectacular space. The player world is really rather small and intimate, and also a New York thing even still. You start an upstate jewel like the Falcon, and word spreads among the community, and soon you’d be surprised who is calling you

to pitch dates. Even more precious and playercentric: The Falcon cultivated and provided an actual audience. A sophisticated, knowledgeable audience? Perhaps, but compared to those in New York City, Paris and Tokyo? Who knows? In a way, there is something more exciting about a new audience for high culture taking shape organically and growing together: autodidactic, hipping itself as Tony keeps the challenges and the curveballs coming. Marlboro as a hotbed of the avant-garde? I buy it; I really do. Isn’t art all about changing minds, not just affirming the self-superiority of hipsters in urban enclaves? My first two Falcon shows were Brad Mehldau – yes, one of the two or three most famous living jazz pianists, and a personal favorite at whose feet I sat, marveling, as he fired up one of the greatest improvisational imaginations that the 21st century has known – but also,

The Falcon has never sold a ticket. Not one ever to anyone – not when Pat Metheny played here; not for Chris Thile, who might have sold out Carnegie Hall the night before.

The Falcon now Marlboro, New York, is an interesting place. It’s like a freeze-frame shot of a small American town tumbling down a very steep and long bank into the Hudson River. There is no flat ground here, but a great need for chiropractic. The businesses on the east side of Route 9W – including the Falcon, at 1348 – are literally stilted against nature, gravity and the accelerated erosions of the new flood age. (Hurricane Irene wiped out the first iteration of the Falcon’s outdoor decks and patios. Their replacements are built to withstand much more.) Marlboro, on the whole, feels pretty temporary. Marlboro is a distinctive town with a strong self-awareness. It ain’t no joke. There is power here, and money, and people who are proud to be from Marlboro. Politically, I don’t know; it probably tends red, right? And you wouldn’t peg it as a likely spot for a nationally celebrated jazz and worldmusic incubator with two thriving stages booked nightly, two restaurants, a regional microbrew taproom, a curated art gallery upstairs and a history museum – the Avalon Archives – embedded in the underground, all surrounded by a multitiered complex of patios and huge decks (seasonal performance spaces themselves) and lantern-lit paths overlooking and descending toward the spectacular gushing of Marlboro Falls. But stereotypes be damned; I wonder if Marlboro’s pro-business default ideological setting wasn’t a passive boon to the Falcon when Tony moved his growing concern out of his barn and into a big building in the town. I wonder, too, whether my own blue village of New Paltz’s famous NIMBY twitch reflex might

have nixed something like the Falcon before it had a chance to take root in our ostensibly more cultural culture. In fact, I know for sure that it did! There’s another funny thing that Tony Falco understood before most everyone else did: If you book great music in a heightened, lovingly crafted space and ask for ten bucks at the door, people will gladly pay their tenner and feel like they’ve bought their experience fair and square, like a burger or a lawn chair. But if you charge nothing at all, and just lay out a few well-marked boxes with printed suggestions, and repeat on-mic several times over the course of the night the house mantra, “Please support living artists,” the same people might give $40 or more, as their means allow. And your audience’s sense of itself transforms from consumer to something more like sponsor, patron, benefactor and essential participant and steward in the preservation and advancement of culture. Your audience is ennobled. The world is their listening room. The Falcon has never sold a ticket. Not one ever to anyone – not when Pat Metheny played here; not for Chris Thile, who might have sold out Carnegie Hall the night before. The Falcon has never charged a cover: not for John Scofield, not for John Burdick. Tony introduces every act in both rooms, if he’s able. “Support living artists,” he says. The audience he has cultivated knows what that means and knows what to do. They dig deep and support. All donations go directly to the performers. And the good times roll. With multiple venues and galleries, passageways and dimensions out of a Carl Jung dream set, staggering natural beauty and no cover charge ever, today’s Falcon is circulatory by design: no gates, no checkpoints, no clearances and visas, no wristbands. People move freely through this art multiplex. Lately, Tony and Lee have been pushing the envelope conceptually, booking more acts and programs with a theatrical dimension, whether that is music augmented with props and projections or full-on mixedmedia performance pieces that take over the whole facility, like Ron English’s recent Rabbbits in Delusionville. I remark to Tony how I marvel at the expansion of the Falcon – physically and conceptually – every time I visit. “What is this?” I say, “the freaking Winchester Mansion?” “I’m kind of hoping the Falcon becomes an art thing itself,” he says of his baby. “Kind of hoping?” I say. That is exactly what I think every time I come. The Falcon isn’t just a couple of venues and restaurants; it is a living attraction itself, a cultural process underway and a destination quite often as compelling as the great musicians who play here. Those

of us born around here will probably always get a light chuckle out of the fact that Tony Falco has sold this community on experimental music from all over the world, multimedia and conceptual art in dynamic combinations and settings and a business model of compassionate, participatory collectivism. But hey, no complaints. My favorite Falcon story A couple years into my new job as a music critic, I wrote my first roundly negative review. Why did it take so long? Well, a big-city critic or a high-traffic blogger might see her responsibility as nothing less than the gatekeeping of her entire generation and its culture; but up here, man, we’re just trying to get some sh*t off the ground. We can be intellectual, broadly critical in an attempt to shed light and understanding; but an Ivy League-schooled snottiness of the kind that Pitchfork uses to prove its toughness is just counterproductive in the provinces. Maybe some day, we will have a freestanding critical press empowered to regard itself as its own art. Not just yet. Still, I floated a negative review – a takedown not only of a specific artist playing at the Falcon, but of an entire genre that the Falcon features regularly: the modern guitar blues.

David Sancious, Will Calhoun team at Bearsville this Saturday With Ashokan Talent back on board as a booking force, the Bearsville Theater once again asserts its legacy as an elite venue for high-end fusion, prog and virtuoso instrumental music: players playing what players like to play. On Saturday, November 10, the Bearsville welcomes the duo of keyboard ace David Sancious and drummer Will Calhoun. Sancious, of course, made his name as the original pianist in the E-Street Band, but has had a story-studded career as a jazz-leaning leader and as an A-plus-list sideman, working with cats on the order of Peter Gabriel, Sting and Eric Clapton, to name a few. While Calhoun is mostly known as the fierce drummer of hardrock legends Living Colour, he too has amassed a sterling list of credentials, including performances with B. B. King, Mick Jagger, Jaco Pastorius and

ALMANAC WEEKLY “SOCIALISM WOULD CERTAINLY BE AN IMPROVEMENT, but the same patriarchal, materialist mindset would prevail. We have to go to another level.”

Poems that slip the leash

citations from the work of many scientists, social critics and spiritual teachers – now what? For me, personally, if I had access to major funds I would be supporting causes like the fate of the dolphins, attempting to stop what the US Navy is doing to marine life west of Washington State by its war testing, and there’s a long list besides that: trying to help indigenous people survive the scorched-earth policy of profits before people, reversing our dependence on pharmaceuticals and petrochemicals. Also, how to live as an individual is important. One thing that means is forsaking the god of convenience, tossing the smartphone in the trash, using fiberoptic cables instead of wi-fi, clearing our bodies of electrosmog as best as possible. Working for clean water, clean air, real food. All those things.

Michael Brownstein has written a handbook for change

T

o paraphrase William Carlos Williams, “It is difficult to get the news from poetry, yet people die miserably every day for lack of what is found there.” But we do get the news in Michael Brownstein’s latest collection of poems, Let’s Burn the Flags of All Nations – the real news, the news that is seldom if ever covered by mainstream media. As you probably suspect, it is not good news. It’s the news that “the largest state in America is the state of denial,” that our lives play out in a “gigantic hallucination” and thanks to the metastasizing of the internet of things, very shortly “the FBI will not have to bug your living room / you’ll do it yourself.” Needless to say, this is a long way from what masquerades as news online, in the papers and on TV. Yet despite his clear-eyed analysis of where we are, Brownstein – the author of three novels and ten collections of poetry – does not permit himself to sink into despair. On the contrary, these works are prophetic and visionary. They show where we can go if we have the courage and the wherewithal to change; that it is possible to “slip the leash,” as one of the poems puts it, of old, ingrained, destructive ways of thinking and being. On Saturday, November 10 at 5 p.m., Brownstein will read from and sign copies of his new book at Woodstock Town Hall, located at 76 Tinker Street. We caught up with the poet in October, in the Catskills west of Woodstock, where he lives in a sunny cabin surrounded by mountains. In the midst of our conversation, a red-tailed hawk landed and perched on a nearby fencepost. “To be in the mountains is a gift for me,” he said. The interview that follows was conducted in part at his cabin and in part by e-mail. In your poem “Now What,” you pose that question to yourself and, by extension, to the rest of us: Now that your eyes have been opened to the myriad ways in which Western industrialized society is killing off the plants and animals, rivers and oceans, indigenous peoples, marginal peoples and eventually the rest of us – now what? What do we do with this awareness?

For me, what to do about the situation we’re in is not to replace it with another 19 th -century ism. Socialism would certainly be an improvement, but the same patriarchal, materialist mindset would prevail. We have to go to another level. The only real way out is for us to reconnect to our common humanity. We have to figure out a way to abandon the nation/state and how it uses fake nationalism to separate people into perpetually warring factions. Until we can wake up from that trance, we can’t really address such things as climate chaos, endemic poverty and capitalism itself, because the billions spent arming all the nations around the world ensure that the system continues to be locked in. Sentimentality is a big problem, too. Once people are emotionally hooked by patriotism, it’s really hard to think clearly, as John Trudell said. There are many people thinking along these lines and beginning to take mindful and effective action. Is there any group or movement that particularly inspires you? I think the most exciting alternative today – in fact, the only one actually on the ground – is what Abdullah Ocalan, the jailed leader of the Kurdish people, calls “democratic confederalism.” Inspired by the Kurdish women’s movement, Rojava is an enclave of three democratic, autonomous regions in northern Syria. It’s a new political model that dispenses with the oppressive structure of the nation/ state. Threatened on all sides, as of now it still exists. Finally, I would say that resistance of course is necessary, but we also have to regain our connection with the spirit realm, with the spirits of plants and animals and with the Goddess with whom

we were in deep contact for hundreds of thousands of years. The loss of that connection is the main reason capitalism and patriarchy took root in the first place. And for you, personally, now that you have laid it all out in this book and in World on Fire (2002), a hybrid of poetry, prose and

The poems in the new book, although radical and provocative, are straightforward and accessible to readers who may not be aficionados of, or even acquainted with, contemporary poetry. When did you first begin writing in this voice? What triggered it? In the late ’90s, influenced by activists like Vandana Shiva, I got involved in the anti-globalization or global justice movement. My bell got rung big-time about what was taking place around me. Out of that came a need to write as clearly and personally as possible. I started writing poems as hard-hitting and accessible as I could make them. After all, why not? Let’s Burn the Flags of All Nations is published by Dr. Cicero Books (www. drcicerobooks.com). “We felt this was an exceptional and visionary work, crucial to our moment, and we wanted to give it the audience it deserved,” says Carey Harrison, Dr. Cicero’s acquisitions editor.

Bicentennial benchmark Ulster County Courthouse hosts 200 th birthday festivities

H

ow easy it is to become jaded about the importance of local history, blind to its traces all around us. How often do you find yourself with business to do in the Ulster County seat, striding about Kingston’s Stockade District without stopping to think that the first governor of New York State and fourth US vice president, George Clinton, is buried nearby, on the grounds of the Old Dutch Church? How many times have you passed by the Ulster County Courthouse at 285 Wall Street without considering all the epic events that happened there? For many of us, the historical m o m e n t associated with the Courthouse that fires us with the fiercest regional pride was one that took place there in 1828, when the current building was ten years new. An escaped slave named Isabella Baumfree became the first black woman in the US to win a legal case against a white man, freeing her son Peter, who had been illegally sold to a plantation owner in Alabama. Fifteen years later, Baumfree changed her name to Sojourner Truth and began to blaze an indelible path through history with her compelling oratory on behalf of abolition and women’s suffrage. But amazing things were already happening on this site even when the County Courthouse was in an earlier incarnation, a less-impressive limestone structure built circa 1734. “It was here that the Constitutional Convention met in March of 1777, and from their toil arose the great State of New York. The Constitution they approved on April 20, 1777, written by Founding

Father John Jay, laid the groundwork for the United States Constitution to follow in Philadelphia. And following its passage, our founding document was read in public for the first time on the Courthouse steps,” reads an official proclamation recently issued by Ulster County. The occasion of those words was the announcement of a Bicentennial Celebration of the Ulster County Courthouse, set to take place o n T h u r s d a y, November 15 from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with events and exhibits throughout the day, all open to the public. The highlight of the festivities will be a first-ever relocation of the New York State Court of Appeals, the state’s highest tribunal, from its home in Albany to the Ulster County Courthouse. Oral arguments on four criminal cases and one real property case will be heard before the Justices of the Court from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. in the Ceremonial Courtroom located on the second floor. Considering the mostly English roots of American jurisprudence, we may recall that there was once a time, going back to the reign of King Henry II, when courts of law were mobile affairs, traveling around regional circuits to preside over the adjudication of local cases during seasonal sessions called assizes. But that charming medieval tradition doesn’t get revived much anymore, making the Appeals Court’s Kingston session a special event. According to the Ulster County Bar Association, which is hosting the visit, “New York’s highest appellate court was established to articulate statewide principles of law in the context of deciding particular lawsuits. Consequently, the Court generally focuses on broad issues of law as distinguished from individual factual disputes.” The Judges will be

available after oral arguments to engage with the public, and the Bar Association will serve complimentary refreshments in the jury assembly room on the basement level of the courthouse at 11:30 a.m. Other featured events of the day will include a presentation by Sojourner Truth historic reenactor Grace Angela Henry and the public display of some historical treasures by the New York State Archives and the Ulster County Clerk’s Office. Among these are the original New York State Constitution, written by John Jay and approved by the New York State Constitutional Convention in Kingston on April 20, 1777. Also on view will be

…and other ways to remember Armistice Day

ver wish that America had fewer patriotic national holidays commemorating war and more celebrating peace? We used to have Armistice Day, on the 11th day of the 11th month, to honor the anniversary of the pact that put an end to World War I. But after the harsh terms of the Treaty of Versailles the following year helped to set Germany on the path to runaway inflation, a new military buildup and the rise of Nazism, “Armistice” gradually became a dirty word, and the holiday was eventually renamed to honor surviving veterans as a corollary to Memorial Day. This November, though, being the 100th anniversary of the signing of the Armistice and the culmination of several years’ worth public events marking the centennial of the Great War, many communities are taking a second look at how that terrible conflict ended. Plenty of mid-Hudson venues have public events planned for this special Veterans’ Day; more on those later. First, let’s take a look at a particular Ulster County connection to World War I, and a longtime resident who applied his expertise as a medical engineer to the effort to save soldiers’ lives. Killing some nine million combatants and seven million civilians, the “war to end all wars” was arguably the most brutal in history. True, more people died in World War II – unless you add in the tens of millions worldwide who were wiped out by the Spanish flu pandemic spread by the returning troops in 1918. But the Great War was distinguished from previous conflicts by the miseries of trench warfare and the introduction of tanks, flamethrowers and chemical warfare. Though a variety of primitive gas masks had previously been invented to protect firefighters, miners and millworkers, soldiers in the first battles where chlorine gas was used had no protection more sophisticated than a wad of cotton tied over the mouth with gauze. Before the US entered the war, the British came up with a gas mask called the small box respirator (SBR), which was rejected by troops because it involved an uncomfortable nose clip. They preferred to use the French invention, the M2, but that didn’t work with tear gas. To provide better protection when the US forces were equipped to join the fray in 2017, the

American Expeditionary Force called on a major who had been serving in France as chief surgeon of a National Guard field hospital since 1914. While working as a surgeon at the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons and at Roosevelt Hospital prior to the war, major Karl Connell had developed an impressive track record of inventing equipment for the delivery of anesthesia, artificial respiration and oxygen therapy, and adapted some of those designs into an improved gas mask for wartime use. H i s brainchild, called the Connell mask, relied on a spongerubber seal and positioned the filter canister behind the head, making it less of an obstruction to vision and communication than the earlier models. Inhaled air passed over the eye lenses to prevent fogging. About 1,000 Connell masks were manufactured for US infantrymen, but they were still deemed too uncomfortable. Further tinkering in collaboration with other designers yielded the RichardsonFlory-Kops (RFK) mask, credited with saving thousands of lives in the second Battle of the Somme in 1918. Major Connell was later awarded the Distinguished Service Medal for his work

The American Expeditionary Force called on Denning’s Major Karl Connell to create an improved gas mask for wartime use.

on these masks. After the war, Connell went back to medical practice and patenting anesthesia equipment, which he had manufactured on Long Island. His country house from 1924 until shortly before his death in 1941 was an estate called Wintoon Lodge, located in the Ulster County town of Denning. Donna Steffens, director of the Time and the Valleys Museum, has been a champion of preserving Dr. Connell’s legacy, and he’ll likely be among those mentioned when the Catskill Readers’ Theatre performs The Great War: World War I at 2 p.m. on Veterans’ Day, Sunday, November 11 at the museum, located at 332 Main Street (Route 55) in Grahamsville Sullivan County.

egabrain Comics in Rhinebeck may be the best-kept secret that only your kids are in on. Opened last December by Jean David and Alexandra Michel, the small shop on Garden Street is a magnet for avid followers of all Marvel/DC productions, and it attracts players of Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder and other roleplaying games (RPGs) as well. The 700-plussquare-foot space is packed with reading material – comics and graphic novels for every age group – and has a gaming room in back where you can walk in and join the fun. Traditional board games, cards and rousing fantasy tournaments entice young and old to put down their devices and engage. Megabrain is Jean David Michel’s

first brick-and-mortar business. He has worked in graphic design and for various startups in the past. “When my wife had this idea, I immediately thought it was a good one,” he says. “As a kid, I hoped I would open the door and see something like this. Nobody ever did it. So, I made the comic-book store that I always wanted when I was a kid.”

He notes the colorful displays of theme toys and collectibles and says that their function in the shop is basically eye candy. “The kids go right for it. Their parents say, ‘No, you have plenty of toys. We’re buying stuff you can read.’ I think it’s cool that parents are viewing comic books that way now. They didn’t for a long time.” Associate Nick Giandelia adds that there are already regulars who come in to hang out after school – “like one boy whose rule is that he has to read 20 minutes a day, so he comes here and does his reading. Comics and graphic novels: It’s more than just fantasy. The young reader genre has exploded into slice-of-life tales, like Raina Telgemeier’s graphic novels Smile, Sisters and Drama.” The attraction for young readers is a mixture of escapism and

being introduced to characters who aren’t that different from them, their superhero talents aside. “Whether it’s actual fantasy or science fiction or superhero stuff, it’s the way the stories are told today: a lot of them made for grownups. But there are stories being written about teenage superheroes who are struggling with the same problems that all kids have. So they get to escape into this intergalactic adventure, and at the same time it’s about how so-and-so is really freaked out because their parents aren’t allowing them the freedom to go hang out with their friends.” Giandelia talks about young readers

being able to identify with a superhero. “Marvel’s Kamala Khan is the first Muslim superhero, who has strict-butloving parents. She’s a giant nerd. Or there’s the Champions [a team of teenage superheroes], which just did an issue about school shootings. In it, they don’t save the day, and they have to deal with the grief over not being able to stop the tragedy. This is the power of what you can do with superhero comics: to explore all those things kids might not talk about with their parents or teachers.” “Comics have been doing that for years,” says Michel. “There have been countless touchstones throughout comic-book history, like Tony Stark dealing with alcoholism or DC’s Speedy, Green Arrow’s sidekick, with a heroin addiction.” Giandelia adds, “Comics are a great unifier. They’ve always been about people on the fringe of society. That was the whole point of X-Men: characters persecuted for being different. You could identify with it.” Megabrain is a true mom-and-pop business. The Michels are parents to a 12-year-old and are expecting two more boys in January. Jean says that, at this point, he can’t separate his work life from his family. “One affects the other; it’s all connected because of the type of business that it is. I tried to create a family-friendly place. In this town we have restaurants

and bars and antique shops, but there aren’t many corners for kids to call their own. This is a safe neighborhood. Not a lot of traffic; they can ride their bikes here.” The established rule is that parents not leave their eight- or nine-year-olds alone in the shop, but the regulars know how to behave and feel comfortable. The store layout gives patrons a clear delineation between reading material that’s safe for children, stuff good for teens and a grownup section. The game room is for everyone. Organized activities, scheduled regularly, also reflect age-appropriateness.

“We have a ton of amazing local writers and artists – independent creators and some who work for Marvel and DC. The Hudson Valley is lousy with comicbook creators.” “We’re expanding our events calendar and have book clubs,” says Michel. “We have trivia nights, and I’m hoping to start doing creator panels with a theme for three or four writers and a Q & A. We have a ton of amazing local writers and artists – independent creators and some who work for Marvel and DC. The Hudson Valley is lousy with comic-book creators.” Plus, Michel and Giandelia have teamed up with Colin Felece to produce The Reality Bomb Comicast, a podcast recorded instore that can be found on iTunes, Stitcher, Google Play, Spotify and Podbean. “We’ve interviewed comic writers and artists,”

says Michel. “We do themes, like women creators in comics and other comic-related news. Nick does comic-book reviews. We just sit in these chairs and talk. Colin sets the whole production up. We even have tee-shirts. It weirds me out that people want to wear my face on their chest.” That’s one indication that he has reached a sort of superhero status himself. “It’s one of the benefits of being in a small town,” says Michel. “Even the local businesses support us.

Todd Samara paintings auctioned this Sunday in Kingston An auction of more than 300 paintings by Kingston painter Todd Samara will take place on Sunday, November 11. For over 30 years, Samara lived and painted in Kingston’s Rondout neighborhood, translating its hilly streets, tight rows of 19th-century gable-roofed houses, bridges and panoramic river views into poetic visions characterized by simplified, textured forms and rich, glowing color. Last year, after being diagnosed with dementia, Samara was placed in long-term care. All proceeds from the sale of these works will go into a fund administered by the Midtown Arts District to benefit the arts in Kingston. There will be a review party with refreshments on Friday, November 9 from 5 to 9 p.m. Registration and auction catalogues will be available. An Open House and preview will continue Saturday from 1 to 6 p.m. To view the entire collection, visit www.thestorefrontgallery. com. Sunday, Nov. 11 1 p.m. 153 Sawkill Road Kingston (845) 514-3998

“Bethlehem Steel” opens this Sunday at Gardiner Library The Gardiner Library presents “Bethlehem Steel,” an exhibition of photographs by Jack Murphy, the artist and curator behind the recent run of “Golden Age of New Paltz” retrospectives in the last several years. The exhibited photographs are part of an ongoing series about the growth of the US during the 19th century onward, as influenced by the Industrial Revolution and the development of the country’s transportation systems. “Easy day trips from Ulster County,” the artist writes, “can take you to textile milltowns all over New England, to lumbermills in New York, papermills in Connecticut, to stone quarries in Vermont, iron mines and early blast furnaces in the Hudson Valley, the cement mines of the Rosendale, New York area, coal mines in Pennsylvania and to early industrial centers like Danbury, Naugatuck and Waterbury, Connecticut, Schenectady, Amsterdam, Utica and Little Falls, New York and North Adams, Massachusetts. I have made about 30 of these day trips, exploring the towns, cities and countryside that are within approximately 150 miles of New Paltz. I have been photographing these trips and documenting the industries, which were the economic engines of the last 200 years.” The opening reception takes place on Sunday, November 11.

Love at the edge of reason at Hudson Hall A big part of the excitement over Midtown Kingston’s transformation into an arts hub over the past couple of years has hinged on the redevelopment of the former MetLife building on Greenkill Avenue into a film production and postproduction facility, “makerspace” and vocational training center called Stockade Works. The brains behind Stockade Works are actor/directors Mary Stuart Masterson and Jeremy Davidson. Busy as that project has been keeping them, the couple have somehow managed to continue developing new stagework via their Storyhorse Documentary Theater. Recent projects have included celebrating family farmers in Good Dirt in 2016 and unraveling a true-life local murder mystery in The Curious Murder of Frank L. Teal this past spring. Storyhorse’s latest effort is a cluster of three new one-act documentary plays about love at the edge of reason, inspired by real conversations with Hudson Valley residents, collectively titled The Face of It. The three playlets are The Call of the Sasquatch, based on recorded Sasquatch hunts with Gayle Beatty and psychic medium Johnny Angel; In Her Shoes, in which Ulster County BOCES principal Gary Suraci and Genna Suraci visit their mother Lena in a Poughkeepsie nursing home and step into a new stage of life

Learn about first woman to obtain a doctorate In 1678 in the Hudson Valley, Huguenot refugees settled the community that would come to be known as New Paltz. So busy were they clearing land, building houses and trying to patch up relations with the indigenous people with whom they’d recently been at war that they failed to notice a scandalous development that was happening back across the Pond: For the first time in history, a woman was winning her doctoral degree. On June 25, Elena Lucrezia Cornaro Piscopia, scion of a Venetian patrician family, brilliantly defended her dissertation in front of university professors, political dignitaries and common folks. This milestone has been immortalized in the central stained-glass window of the Frederick Ferris Thompson Memorial Library at Vassar College. On Friday, November 9, Vassar will celebrate the 340th anniversary of Cornaro Piscopia’s achievement in the same library with a lecture and theatrical performance dedicated to her life. Professor Patrizia Bettella of the University of Alberta, an expert on female academicians of the Middle Ages and Renaissance, will give a talk based on her research about Cornaro Piscopia at 5:30 p.m. in the Class of 1951 Reading Room. At 7:30 p.m., the Cornaro Room will host a performance of The Most Learned Woman, an original theater piece in spoken word and music that was developed by Laura Caparrotti, artistic director of the Kairos Italy Theater. Both events are free and open to the public. To reserve tickets, e-mail boxoffice@vassar.edu or visit https://vassarpresents.tix.com. The Most Learned Woman, Friday, Nov. 9, 5:30 p.m. lecture, 7:30 performance, Free (by reservation), Thompson Memorial Library, Vassar College, 124 Raymond Avenue, Poughkeepsie, (845) 437-5370, boxoffice@ vassar.edu, www.vassar.edu, https://vassarpresents.tix.com

ALMANAC WEEKLY

NIGHT SKY

A bright comet is coming A possible spectacle in mid-December

W

e haven’t had a bright comet in years, but it looks like one might be coming. It’s Comet Wirtanen, one of the several dozen comets that keep orbiting the Sun in a short period, meaning under 200 years. The most famous periodic comet was the first ever discovered, Comet Halley, with its 76-year orbit. And Halley is the only one that puts on a reliably great recurring show, although its last visit in 1986 was an unusual dud. In 1948, a Lick Observatory astronomer named Carl Wirtanen (say WURT-uh-nun) discovered a new comet with an orbital period of just 5.4 years. The world promptly forgot about it, even though it has the potential to pass very close to us each time it arrives at its closest position to the Sun. But finally, after 70 years, that’s what will happen a month from now: On December 16, Comet Wirtanen will make its closest ever approach to Earth at a distance of only seven million miles, or 30 times farther than the Moon. This nearness will make that small comet brighten up so much that it will probably be visible to the naked eye – which would make it spectacular through those old binoculars you have lying around somewhere. And on that very night of closest approach, it will be passing close to the famous Pleiades star cluster in Taurus the Bull. So mark December 16 on your calendar, and look toward the Seven Sisters if you know the sky well enough to do that, and maybe you’ll see a lovely comet. I use the word “maybe” because comets are notorious for tricking us. We can always predict where they will be, but not how bright they’ll become. We were badly fooled in 1973 by Comet Kohoutek, which was supposed to be the comet of the century, but it was a bust. A few years ago, Comet Ison was proclaimed the comet of the century, which is why 80 people signed on to join our tour to see it from Chile. But it too was a totally dim bust. So who can say how bright Comet Wirtanen will get? But on the chance that it’s brighter than predicted and becomes a true spectacle, just remember to be up here in the country on December 16. – Bob Berman

On December 16, Comet Wirtanen will make its closest ever approach to Earth at a distance of only seven million miles, or 30 times farther than the Moon.

Their explorations included not only the modern town of busy roads but the older village of bluestone quarries, abandoned forest paths, and mountain views they had all to themselves.

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

A

Fig-uring out my next move

nyone watching what I was doing to my fig trees might have called the Fig Protective Services to have my trees removed to a new home. But figs are tough plants and tolerate a lot of what looks like abuse. Let me offer some background: Figs are subtropical plants, so can’t survive to fruit outdoors around here. I grow a few fig trees in pots that I can put in a protected location for winter (more on that later). Problem is that the trees’ roots eventually fill the pots and exhaust nutrients in the mix. I could move each tree to a larger pot. Then the branches could grow commensurately larger, and more growth of branches translates to more figs to harvest. But these pots have to be moved every spring and fall, and there’s a limit to how big a pot I can handle. The other way to give the roots new ground to explore is to root-prune them – that is, slice off some roots to make space for new soil in the same pot. Trust me; I’ve done this for many years and the plants tolerate it well, growing happily each spring following the operation. (Fall or spring, when the plants are leafless, is the best time for root-pruning and repotting.) So I tipped each plant on its side and pulled on the stem while holding the pot in place to slide the rootball out of the pot. After standing the rootball upright, I started slicing it from top to bottom. For rootballs 18 to 24 inches across, I slice a couple of inches off all around. I used to use an old kitchen knife, but discovered that my reciprocating saw with a medium-tooth blade works much better. With the old rootball shrunken, it goes back into its pot and I start packing potting soil back in the space between the pared-down rootball and the sides of the pot. For good contact, I pack the potting soil in with my fingers and the flat end of a three-quarterinch dowel. Next year at this time, or at most two years from now, trees will get root-pruned again.

My days of lugging the heavy fig pots downstairs are over.

Now, what will I do with the fig trees for winter? It’s a conundrum, because the trees, being subtropical, do well with a cold-season rest – ideally below 50 degrees Fahrenheit. On the other hand, they can’t tolerate cold much below about 25 degrees in their pots. Some places that might provide temperatures within this range are an unheated garage that’s attached to a house, an unheated and uninsulated basement or an unheated foyer or mudroom. As long as they are dormant, the plants do not need light. For many years, I’ve lugged my plants down the rather narrow stairway to my basement. There’s an oil burner down there, but it’s rarely used since most of our heat is with wood. In midwinter, basement temperatures hover around 40 degrees. As of this year, my days of lugging the heavy pots downstairs are over. I now have access to a ground-level, unheated room in a well-insulated, rarely heated building having a concrete floor for good thermal mass. The Ritz! The goal is to keep the plants cold enough so that they stay dormant until it’s safe to move them outdoors in spring. If all goes well, the plants are still dormant when outdoor temperatures rarely dip below 32 degrees. Then the plants, moved outdoors, Rhinebeck, 6422 Montgomery Street, Rhinebeck.

slowly awaken with cool temperatures and bright sun promoting sturdy growth. Because fig trees in pots tolerate temperatures down into the 20s, there’s no rush to move them into storage. I usually wait until sometime in December. Notice that I mentioned my trees growing in “potting soil.” Straight soil, even good, well-drained garden soil, is unsuitable for plants in pots because it becomes unavoidably waterlogged. (The reason, described in my book The Ever-Curious Gardener: Using a Little Natural Science for a Much Better Garden, has to do with what is known as a “perched water table”; take my word for it or read the book.) Drainage is improved in potting soils by adding aggregate such as perlite, vermiculite or calcined montmorillonite clay (the latter better-known and more often sold as kitty litter). Roots in containers have more limited volume to explore for nutrients, so potting soils also need to be richer that even good garden soils. Compost is one way to provide nutrition. Among the advantages of compost is its ability to offer nutrients over a long period of time, as soil microbes slowly decompose it. Water, like nutrients, also must be accessed from a limited volume of soil. The compost helps a potting soil hold water; I boost that further with the addition of some peat moss or coir. My finished mix is made up of equal parts potting soil, perlite, compost and peat moss. All my plants, not just the figs, like it. – Lee Reich Any gardening questions?

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 reect 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 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. Interested? Send a resume to genia@ulsterpublishing.com

We have wonderful adult cats at the Saugerties Animal Shelter! They’re looking for homes where they’ll be loved, cared 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 they’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. She’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? MOO; 2-year old black & white cat girl. A laid back gal & was a great mama to her kittens. Now it’s her turn to be loved. BRITTANY; approximately 3-years old mostly black cat girl w/a white bib & muzzle. She’d love a home where she could be the star of the show. Saugerties Animal Shelter can welcome you Tuesday-Saturday, 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Call (845)679-0339. MEOW!!! Want to help but can’t adopt a cat? Don’t forget about our Foster Program! Visit our website UCSPCA.org, for details & pictures of cats to foster.
