n times like these, when hard science is under siege by politicians and lobbyists whose financial interests tend not to be served by the collection and unbiased analysis of actual data, it’s a tonic to immerse oneself in activities that bring home how much fun science can be, even for a layperson. In fact, it’s the ideal time for the return of the Vassar Brothers Institute’s annual Science in Your Life lecture series. The Wednesday evening talks take place in Poughkeepsie, in the auditorium at Our Lady of Lourdes High School, and admission is always free. As in the past, each program will consist of an understandable talk by a scientist involved in research on the topic, and an opportunity for questions from the audience. And each one is preceded by a live musical performance. The first Science in Your Life lecture for 2019 takes place on January 30, beginning with a mini-concert from the Vivace Orchestra at 7:30 p.m. At 8:15, Dr. James Green, chief scientist at NASA, will give a presentation on “The Importance of the Moon: Past, Present and Future.” Scientists believe that the Moon was formed out of a collision between the Earth and a Mars-sized planet named Theia at a very early stage of the development of the solar system. From then on, the Earth and the Moon’s evolution have been intertwined. The Moon has kept the Earth’s rotational axis pointing in the same direction, providing a significant level of stability for the Earth’s climate. Today, the Moon holds many fascinating mysteries for scientists to explore. On February 6, music will be provided by the Arlington High School Jazz Machine. “Conquering Lyme Disease: Solutions through Science” will be the topic of the talk by Brian Fallon, MD, director of the Lyme & Tick-Borne Diseases Research Center at Columbia University Medical Center. He will review recent scientific advances in diagnosis, treatment and prevention that will help to stem the tide of this most challenging disease. The final program on February 13 gets underway with a performance by the Arlington High School Philharmonia. Dr. Daniel Ksepka, curator at the Bruce Museum in Greenwich, Connecticut, will then deliver “March of the Penguins: New Discoveries from the Southern Hemisphere.” The fossil record reveals many unexpected surprises in the history of these remarkable birds: “giant” species (more than a foot taller than living emperor penguins), spear-billed species with long pointed beaks, “svelte” long-flippered species and even penguins with red and grey feathers. Today, penguins have reached what appears to be their lowest historical point in species diversity, reinforcing conservation concerns for imperiled populations.

Workshop on how to run for office in Kingston on Saturday “Running for Local Office: A Howto Workshop” will be presented by the League of Women Voters of the MidHudson Region on Saturday, January 26. The event takes place at the Unitarian Universalist Sanctuary at 320 Sawkill Road in Kingston (between Route 209 and Washington Avenue) from 10 a.m. to noon. It’s free and open to the public, with no reservations needed. The current times of political turmoil have elicited an upswing of grassroots interest in affecting the decisions our government makes. Many, however, are hesitant to present themselves as candidates because of the mystique surrounding the specifics of how to run
for office. In our last elections, several candidates for local office ran unopposed. Voters deserve a choice. The League of Women Voters of the Mid-Hudson Region encourages all who are interested to step up to the plate and make a difference. Accordingly, they will be hosting an informational workshop on what is needed to qualify as a candidate, and tips on making your campaign successful. On Saturday, January 26 at 10 a.m., four experts will explain how to run for local elections. Both Republican and Democrat commissioners from Ulster County’s Board of Elections, Thomas Turco and Ashley Dittus, will open the program, giving the specifics of filings, timelines and other information that will enable a candidate to initiate and proceed with their candidacy in a timely manner. Next, Ulster County clerk Nina Postupack will share tips for future candidates that she has learned from her various past experiences. And last, newly elected County sheriff Juan Figueroa will outline how his campaign was mobilized, and the challenges he faced along the way. There will be plenty of time for questions and answers.
DeliKateSSen in Rhinebeck The Center for Performing Arts at Rhinebeck continues to stretch and tax all common definitions of “community theater” to the breaking point with its contemporary lab theater aesthetic and its bracing repertoire of new plays by living writers. Up next is CenterStage’s production of Richard Atkins’ play DeliKateSSen, an intimate family portrait of loss and revenge set in a small shop on Manhattan’s West Side. The owners of Shapiro’s New York Deli have survived the Holocaust and are now faced with a new threat posed by a neighboring business owned by people who may, or may not, be whom they seem. Directed by Lou Trapani, DeliKateSSen features a cast that includes the author as well as Russ Austin, Diana di Grandi, Joe Felece, Marlene Golia, Alex Petrova, John Remington, Denis Silvestri and Monte Stone. DeliKateSSen runs until January 27. Tickets cost $25.

Labor of love Barry Jenkins does full justice to James Baldwin’s If Beale Street Could Talk
T
he more I watch actors at work, the less I believe that acting is all about how well you deliver a line, and the more I appreciate the ability to convey exactly what your character’s thinking and feeling even when you don’t have any dialogue at all. It’s a gift that draws the viewer’s eye to someone in a small role who is destined for far greater things. That being said, a film that is grounded in a fine work of literature and channels its verbal delights undiminished by the change in media is still something to be treasured. If Beale Street Could Talk gives us the best of both approaches. Conceived before Moonlight propelled him into the spotlight, it was clearly a labor of love for director Barry Jenkins, who wrote the screenplay himself. And love is what it’s all , "

The body electric
W
e take electricity for granted. But it wasn’t always this way. It would have been fun to be alive in the latter half of the 19th century, when it was the cat’s meow. New discoveries were announced weekly. Museums drew crowds around glass bottles (“Crookes Tubes”) containing thin gases that colorfully glowed when high voltages passed through them. Your visit to your doctor usually included a conversation about electrical baths, or having electrical probes placed in various body orifices so that your depleted energy could be revivified by this essential and still-mysterious force believed to permeate the universe. We’re still not fully over our love affair, and I’m still enthralled by my solar panels and hybrid electric car. But what about the intimate electricity in our bodies? We all know that brains and muscles operate electrically. We know that the right ratio of sodium and potassium electrolytes is necessary to maintain our body’s battery. But almost no one seems aware that our body’s electricity has very quirky, variable characteristics. For one thing, it’s surprisingly slow. When we consider lightning in the sky or the current running in copper wires, we’re talking about things zooming at 96 percent of light’s velocity. House current travels at 175,000 miles per second. But the electricity running through our nerves and brains doesn’t even go one percent as fast as this. What’s weird is how much it varies. The most common electrical speed in our bodies is 250 miles per hour – not 250 miles per second, but per hour. This highest-of-all-body-speeds is used for important tasks such as reflex actions. Say you’re on a camping trip and you step outside the tent in the middle of the night. Your bare foot steps down on something cold and slimy, and you instantly yank it away because maybe it’s a snake. This perception of danger and the yanking reflex all operated at 250 miles per hour. Sure, that’s slow compared to electricity in our home wiring; but it’s still more than three times faster than we drive down the Thruway. My favorite demonstration of how fast these electrical signals operate can be easily performed: Right now, flail your arms rapidly around your body, paying attention to the location of your hands. Doing this, you’ll find that you always know exactly where your hands are positioned at every instant, no matter how fast you’re moving them. This proves that the signals carrying this information must be extremely fast. This was

who are the best kind of young lovers: inseparable friends from early childhood, loyal soulmates who take a long time to figure out that they’re also physically and romantically attracted to each other. It’s clear that their impending marriage – postponed by the difficulty of finding a landlord who will rent an apartment to a black couple – is destined to last. But before they can get to that point, Fonny is picked up on the street in the West Village by a nasty white cop who was frustrated in an earlier attempt to arrest him for roughing up a man who was sexually harassing Tish. Officer Bell (Ed Skrein) puts Fonny in a lineup where he’s misidentified as the perpetrator of a vicious rape that happened on the Lower East Side. Timingwise, Fonny was too far away for this charge to make any sense, but his alibi is deemed unreliable and he’s jailed. Meanwhile, Tish has just discovered that she is pregnant. Her two-stage process of revealing this news is our window into Baldwin’s nuanced depiction of the many varieties of black American family life. Tish’s own family is surprised, having known Fonny as her best friend for many years, but supportive. King is every bit as wonderful as advertised as family bulwark Sharon; Colman Domingo and Teyonah Parris have believable chemistry as dad Joseph – a wily and determined provider – and sister Ernestine, whose political radicalization supplies a handy connection
to a hungry young white lawyer (Finn Wittrock). Fonny’s family is a much tougher nut to crack. Dad Frank (Michael Beach) is old mates with Joseph, and persuadable; but his wife, the formidable Mrs. Hunt (Aunjanue Ellis), and daughters (Ebony Obsidian and Dominique Thorne) are religious zealots who don’t much approve of Tish. Both of these “big reveal” scenes are central to the story and exquisitely choreographed, although Ellis’ over-thetop portrayal of the judgmental church lady (a stock character in Baldwin’s writing, based on his brief experience as a ministerin-training) mostly distracts from the great work that the other actors are doing here. The take-no-prisoners Ernestine making short work of Fonny’s stuck-up sisters is a joy to watch, in particular. Although Tish is, technically speaking, an unwed mother, this story is worlds away from familiar negative stereotypes about welfare babies and deadbeat dads. (There’s some meaty stuff here about committed black fatherhood, especially when Joseph chivvies Frank into doing whatever it takes to rescue Fonny.) We watch the young couple’s story unfold in two parallel timelines, one tracing their past relationship and the other punctuated by Tish’s visits to her beloved in jail, with a pane of safety glass separating them. We never see what exactly happens to Fonny there – though we see the results,

obviously a necessary use of such high speed, because otherwise you might smash your hand into something and injure it. What about thinking? How fast do we think? You will be nonplussed to hear that the electrical impulses involved in thinking only move at 70 miles per hour. It’s as if nature decided, “There goes Alyssa, trying to decide whether she wants butter or cream cheese on her bagel. Well, there’s no rush.” (I used the word nonplussed deliberately, because these days it’s tautological. You can never go wrong using it, because nonplussed can mean greatly surprised or not surprised at all.) Are we done with this, or do our bodies contain still-slower electrical speeds? You’ll be nonplussed when you hear that some electrical signals only travel at three miles per hour, which is the same as two feet per second. Oddly enough, these are pain signals. Again, it’s as if Mother Nature, wearing her architect’s hat (or maybe her sadist’s hat), said, “Bob just slammed his toe into a door yet again? That’s the second time this month. Well, there’s certainly no hurry in delivering the bad news.” You’re skeptical? Well, think about when you last smashed your toe into something. Remember that excruciating two- or three-second delay, those moments of limbo before you suddenly felt the stabbing pain? That’s because, traveling at just two feet per second, the pain signal required between two and three seconds to travel the five or six feet from your toe to your brain. Was this a bad design or a good one? Should we envy the lightning-fast speed of the electricity of lightning? Or does this whole issue leave us nonplussed? – Bob Berman Want to know more?

including one in which his face is healing from a severe beating. A flashback to a visit from a friend (Brian Tyree Henry), recently released from a prison term for a crime he also didn’t commit, again hints at the horrors of time behind bars for black men. What isn’t shown, or said explicitly, serves well enough to unsettle us, and to link this 1970s story most firmly with what is still happening to young black men in the America of 2019. Its timeliness is terrible in every sense. What Tish has – a wellspring of determination like her mother’s, even when facing daily setbacks and humiliations; a family willing to make sacrifices to help her and Fonny; the prospect of raising her own child long enough to bond with his father – is powerful enough to keep her eyes on the prize, though. That’s what steers this film away from going off the rails into rage and

despair. She’s a remarkable young woman, and KiKi Layne is a remarkable young actress with a bright future ahead of her. Stephan James makes her a worthy match. If Beale Street Could Talk is beautiful to look at and to listen to, its ominous discordant chords darkening its jazzy score, its sensitive cinematography capturing Manhattan’s baking summer sidewalks and chill, drizzly late-autumn nights. Audiences who are used to the momentum of action movies may find themselves balking at its slow, deliberate pacing. But this is the sort of romance that needs time to breathe, to show people simply looking deeply at one another, and Jenkins gives it that luxury. The result is a film that will stay in your thoughts and keep on growing long after you leave the cinema. – Frances Marion Platt

New Paltz guitar-pop institution, the Sweet Clementines return to the stage at Unison Arts on Friday, January 25. Fronted by guitarist/songwriter and Almanac Weekly music critic John Burdick, the Sweet Clementines blend nervy, angular guitar rock and an understated dumpster-cabaret vibe with a huge catalogue of sweet, weird and sad electric pop songs, swarming with harmonies and odd word choices. Music journalist Ron Hart wrote, “That the Sweet Clementines are still not signed to a national record label is just criminal.” “There comes a time in a band’s history – and we’re almost 12 years in, now – when you just throw your hands up in despair and acquiescence and say, ‘This is what we are, this is how we write, sing and play,’” says Burdick. “It’s not perfect or even coherent a lot of the time, and it’s certainly not current or relevant – to any generation, really – but it’s all us, man, and only us. I feel like, once you admit permanent defeat, the possibilities are endless.” At Unison, the band will be featuring material from their upcoming third full-length. Their SubFamily Records labelmate Hiding behind Sound open the show with duo renditions of their “space twang” songs. Tickets cost $15 general admission, $10 for seniors, with Unison member discounts available.

Wright tends to tour with a buttoned-down eight-piece band of slick players that is often reason enough to catch her shows. She performs on Friday, January 25 at Colony in Woodstock. Tickets cost $15 in advance, $20 on the day of the show.
Saugerties Pro Musica welcomes back the energetic, foot-stomping Strawberry Hill Fiddlers, performing a diverse string concert of folk, Celtic and classical music on Sunday, January 27.

any longtime residents of the Hudson Valley would tell you that the line between performance art and merely living one’s life, in these parts, is a fine one. Our region has been a hospitable host for events that straddle that boundary at least since the first Maverick Festival in 1915. Recent years have continued that trend, with the Hudson Valley becoming ever more of a lure to creative types whose artworks incorporate performance but don’t quite qualify as straight-up “performing arts” such as music, dance and acting. Chathambased Marina Abramovic comes immediately to mind, of course, although her dream of founding a performing arts institute in Hudson never got off the ground. But it’s not just a matter of artists from elsewhere gravitating to the area. Among the brightest stars in the firmament of native creatives is Linda Montano from Saugerties. The Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art at SUNY-New Paltz, which is about to open a new longitudinal exhibition of her work, describes Montano as “a seminal figure in contemporary feminist performance art, whose work is critical to the development of video and performance by, for and about women. She works to dissolve boundaries between art and life, exploring her art/life through shared experience, role adoption and intricate life-altering ceremonies, some of which last for many years.” The “durational” works that established Montano’s artistic reputation include Three Day Blindfold and Art/Life: One Year Performance, in which she was bound by rope to Taiwanese performance artist Tehching Hsieh 24 hours a day for a full year. She is also the founder of the Art/Life Institute in Kingston, which offers residencies to aspiring performance artists in the Hudson Valley. Curated by Anastasia James and running from January 23 to April 14 at the Dorsky’s Morgan Anderson and Howard Greenberg Family galleries, “Linda Montano: The Art/Life Hospital” explores themes of healing, aging and death. It will feature rarely screened video work from the 1970s through the present, alongside newly commissioned participatory works and a durational performance by the artist. A public opening reception will be held on Saturday, February 9 from 5 to 7 p.m. The Dorsky Museum’s opening hours are from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesdays through Sundays when college is in session. To learn more, call (845) 257-3844 or visit www.newpaltz.edu/museum.

History talk on Bigelow Homestead The Friends of Historic Saugerties will present a talk by the estate caretaker, map restoration expert and master of all things Bigelow Jen Dragon on Saturday, February 2 at 2 p.m. at the Saugerties Public Library. Dragon will give an illustrated talk about the historic home and its occupants. Built in 1812 by Asa Bigelow, the Homestead has served as a private museum to five generations of the family
that still owns it, as well as to the time in which they lived. Asa Bigelow founded the hamlet of Malden in 1808 as a port for sloops ferrying timber, hides, grain and later bluestone to New York City to the south and Albany to the north. Asa’s son John and grandson Poultney became influential in political and social circles and brought many important luminaries as visitors to this family home in Malden.

High times Ski jumping over downtown Rosendale: a history
D
uring the Lower Silurian period, 417 to 440 million years ago, a geological formation of quartzite conglomerate bedrock came into being within the Appalachian mountain chain, rising from what is now eastern Pennsylvania and passing through northern New Jersey into southeastern New York. We know its pale grey ramparts of stone as the Shawangunk Ridge, whose northern terminus occurs in Rosendale, just shy of the Rondout Creek. Across the water looms another outcrop of rock, about 500 feet in height and equally stark and imposing in its own way, although covering hundreds of acres rather than hundreds of square miles. Formed of dolostone, a fine-grained limestone that makes the excellent water-resistant cement that long supported Rosendale’s economy, this mini-Gibraltar was named the Joppenbergh, or Jacob’s Mount, after
the town’s first settler, a merchant named Colonel Jacob Rutsen – more formally, Jacobsen Rutger van Schoonderwoerdt. Gazing at the southern flank of the Joppenbergh from the Rondout trestle – the linchpin of the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail, recently reconnecting New Paltz with
Kingston – one may view the caves and mine adits left behind after the collapse of the Rosendale cement industry. In December 1899, about 150 miners narrowly escaped death due to the fact that they happened to be sitting outdoors eating lunch when a spectacular cave-in occurred. Though the
event wasn’t lethal, it closed Main Street (Route 213) for a time and signaled the end of the Joppenbergh’s day as a cement source. Rosendalers, with the urging of Nordic skiing enthusiast Gus Williams of Williams Lake, found another use for it, though: to entertain visitors. Seeking new activities to attract tourism during the winter, the Rosendale Township Association approached a Brooklyn-based telemark skiing club in 1936 with a proposal to build its new 40-meter/130-foot ski jumping slope on the site. A lease was obtained from Joppenbergh owner Warren Sammons, Norwegian ski hill designer Harold Schelderup was brought in to design a ski track and Rosendale’s first ski jumping competition scheduled for January 1937. But bad weather caused the cancellation of competitive events in favor of exhibition runs. Undaunted and unwilling to wait for the next winter, the club decided to cover the slope with mats, carpets, straw, pine needles and slippery borax for a makeshift summer competition. That tournament took place in July 1937, drawing a crowd of 3,300 people. Olympic skier Ottar Satre set a record jump of 112 feet/34 meters that year. In 1938, a 25-foot/7.6-meter extension was placed atop the mountain to increase jumpers’ distance. Norwegian skier Nils Eie jumped 128 feet to win the competition that January. In 1941 the length of the slope was increased once again to 50 meters/160 feet, but the onset of World War II created a demand for skilled skiers to join the military; competitions ceased until the 1960s. The Rosendale Nordic Ski Club was organized in January 1964, immediately creating the Joppenbergh Mountain Corporation (JMC) to manage the property. Three hundred shares of stock were issued at $100 per share to raise funds to buy the mountain itself from owner Mary Sammons. Upon gaining control of the property in August of that year, JMC

announced its intent to build a new ski slope on the site of the original one, as well as a parking lot capable of holding 10,000 cars. The goal of the club was to make Rosendale the “Nordic Ski Capital of the East.” A new 70-meter/230-foot slope was completed in November 1965, augmented by a snowmaking system to provide artificial snow. When ski-jumping competitions resumed in January 1966, Leif Bringslimark achieved a 152-foot/46meter jump from the new slope. The winner of the January 1968 tournament was Per Coucheron, a 22-year-old Dartmouth student who reached 206 feet/63 meters. At a two-day competition in January 1969, Olympic medalist Franz Keller jumped 212 feet down a 65-meter (213-foot) slope on Joppenbergh, after having managed to reach 214 feet during practice. It had rained the week before the competition, and although 20 truckloads

Living testament “Death is not the end. There remains the litigation over the estate.” – Ambrose Bierce of snow were brought in, the condition of the track was described at the time as “extremely fast.” Several participants fell, and one was hospitalized in Kingston. At a Rosendale ski meet in February 1971, Keller’s record was broken twice by Middlebury College student Hugh Barber, with heights of 213 feet and 217 feet during competition; he made 226 feet during practice, in front of 3,500 spectators. Although Barber characterized the ski hill as in “great condition,” 10 to 15 percent of participants had fallen during the tournament. Consistently unfavorable weather conditions and lack of profitability were the major reasons skiing stopped on Joppenbergh in the 1970s. The slope was subsequently abandoned, though the JMC continued to own and maintain the property after skiing ceased. During the last decades of the 20th century, Joppenbergh’s private owners allowed trees to grow back and wildlife to return. The first cable TV antenna was constructed atop the mountain in the 1980s, while hikers and hunters were the primary visitors. In 2003, the Town of Rosendale leased some land at the base of the mountain, behind the Rosendale Theatre, to create a municipal parking lot and what is now known as Willow Kiln Park. That’s where you can find the trailhead if you’d like to explore Joppenbergh and view the remnants of the ski jump. The loop trail

mong the many tasks on our family pre-death To Do list are updating our wills. It’s less exciting than it sounds. The good news is that it actually affects my life, which has changed over the years. Now I’m up to date with some of the financial stuff, and as the kids have aged, some of our choices on their behalf have changed. The bad news isn’t really bad: It’s just tedious to go through everything – lots of dull, party-of-the-first-part language, and not I’m not talking pump-up-the-jam party. Why am I sharing this with you? Not because I got a Spotify account yesterday, but because updating my will feels solid and secure – like good shoes in the snow. I know the legal “what-ifs,” what my family is prepared for, how they are protected. I can’t will myself (heh heh) to live longer, but I can ensure their legacy. (Side note to my kids: Don’t plan on any fortunes in your future). The protections Mike and I have put into place were not radical ideas that we came up with ourselves. It was worth the dull parts to get to a place of slightly more comfort discussing assets, whatever else we talked about, even things like capital gains [snooze], which turn out to have nothing to do with weight. I have no advice to share. I only updated my will because I’m staring down the “living testament” coming my way. But having revised it periodically over the past 20 years, especially since we had kids, it feels good not to think about it. Not that I thought a lot about it before; but now it’s done. While we were lawyering anyway, then, I got to thinking about more snoozers like health care proxies, living wills and powers of attorney. But updated is updated, and I can leave it be for a while; and so can my family without paying unnecessary taxes, which have can insane penalties without protections in place. My kids can’t set up guardianships and make financial decisions for themselves. It’s up to me to do it. I find that sobering; where’s the “grownup” who just makes this happen, anyway? When did I ever use the word “probate” before? Rebate maybe, but probate? This topic works better than my sleep/relaxation recording. I will now reward myself with some Lagusta’s chocolates for being so responsible.

permitted from dawn to dusk. Rock climbing, spelunking and motorized vehicles are prohibited, and at present the trails are considered too unstable for mountain biking and cross-country skiing. Dogs must be kept on a leash. In 2011 the Open Space Institute purchased the 118-acre property, turning it over the following year to the Wallkill Valley Land Trust. A land management process involving considerable public input soon got underway, leading up to the development of a Joppenbergh Mountain Land Use Plan.

“I hope this project, like Erica, inspires young families to get out and enjoy the natural world and do it with big cheesy smiles on their faces.”
Children’s Labyrinth at Forsyth Nature Center was inspired by Erica Chase-Salerno
K
ids’ Almanac columnist Erica Chase-Salerno was an early advocate of the Forsyth Nature Center, and in honor of her passionate support of the facility and its programs, last summer the Center’s caretaker Mark DeDea oversaw the construction of a new attraction: the Children’s Labyrinth. Approached through a rustic arbor constructed of bark-covered logs, a winding path of pavers culminates in a meditative circle, framed by plantings that attract birds and butterflies. A sign at the entrance quoting John James Audubon is a reminder of the debt that we, as stewards of the Earth, owe those to whom this meditative space is dedicated: “A true conservationist is a man who knows that the world is not given by his fathers, but borrowed from his children.” There’s a spirit of playfulness in the large boxwood topiary, sheared in the shape of a bear’s head, and the giant painted butterflies created by Laurie Berrios, whom DeDea described as “a longtime friend who is also heavily involved with the Friends of Forsyth Nature Center and in the same homeschooling circle as Erica.” Berrios’ husband, Randy, constructed the wooden milepost, which bears numerous wooden arrows inscribed with distances both regional and international, from Lake Tear of the Clouds to Timbuktu. It also indicates the exact latitude and longitude of the spot: a placemarker that serves as a literal and metaphorical pivot between time and space, the ground beneath your feet and the planet. “I always preach ‘planting with a purpose,’ and usually that revolves around the needs of pollinators and birds,” said DeDea, noting that he was inspired by a visit to the Children’s Garden at the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens. DeDea said that Chase-Salerno’s support has been vital to the success of the nature center. “Erica became an advocate for the Nature Center years ago, later joining our Friends board, and her infectious support of the facility and its programs and events translated to her column’s readership,” he said. “At the time, the Center’s existence was still tenuous and the rejuvenation far from complete. To have a whole new set of stakeholders and interested residents become engaged thanks to Erica’s enthusiastic writing was huge. Anyone who’s ever read one of her articles feels her personality right off the page. My wife says she even makes my bird walks sound interesting!” The idea for a labyrinth was inspired by the meditative labyrinth that Chase-

and then grounds us with straight talk: In last week’s column, she concludes with, “What is like to know you are dying?” “What’s it like pretending that you aren’t?” Many supporters contributed to the Children’s Labyrinth. They include the aforementioned Berrios family; 17-yearold employee Evan Berardi, who served as lead carpenter and chief paver installer; other members of the Berardi family; as well as the Geskie, Larkin and O’Brien families. Financial support was provided by Thrivent Insurance, Herzog’s and the Friends of Forsyth Nature Center. “There was a concerted effort by our board to create something that might reflect how much we think of Erica and how much she has meant to our facility and the FFNC,” DeDea concluded. “I hope this project, like Erica, inspires young families to get out and enjoy the natural world and do it with big cheesy smiles on their faces.” The Forsyth Nature Center is located off Lucas Avenue and adjacent to the Dietz Stadium Sports Complex in Uptown Kingston.

Salerno’s husband and friends created at her home. “There is nothing static about Erica and there never will be,” DeDea said. Creating a garden space that’s educational, beautiful and fun was the perfect kind of tribute. “A bench or a tree celebrating her involvement with the Nature Center would not have been appropriate or accurate.” Since being diagnosed with Stage IV breast cancer in 2015, Chase-Salerno has been writing a weekly column for Almanac titled “Erica’s Cancer Journey.” Each week,
her descriptions of her treatments and physical and emotional challenges have been leavened by her extraordinary powers of imagination, irresistible humor and remarkable insights, resulting in writing that’s an amazing affirmation of life.

The space, inside what was once the Stone Ridge firehouse on Cooper Street, is the permanent home now for the 1983 work created by Marilyn Reynolds. With her husband, Kent Babcock, and son, photographer Seth David Rubin, Reynolds is in the process of renovating the building into a three-story structure that, along with the dedicated space for the monumental Composition, includes studio space for herself, art galleries for a rotating exhibition of her lifetime of work and an in-progress workshop space for community art classes. Reynolds is a self-described intuitive painter. The imagery in Composition in the Round comes from “the most uncensored part of my mind,” she says, “pouring forth in the most unpredictable way. There’s not one stroke of anything dishonest there.” The center of the long canvas, directly opposite the viewer entering the work, is taken up by the depiction of an enormous bird in flight, its 21-foot wingspan painted with energetic brushstrokes. This image was the first Reynolds painted on the canvas, and it came from her subconscious, she says, representing her intuitive thought process as she began the work. A feeling about the innocence and vulnerability of the bird led her then to move to another point on the canvas, where in charcoal she depicted a man holding a gun. Other imagery followed: a pipe organ, a steamship, a standing bear, a beached whale. The characters emerged in a kind of dreamlike procession, according to Reynolds, who created the work during a six-week residency funded by a New York State Council on the Arts grant.

With children to care for at home at the time, Reynolds created the piece by traveling from her home in Stone Ridge to a Dominican convent in Sparkill, where she worked through the nights in the basement. She made the framework for the painting herself, out of two-by-fours, with nuns helping her hold the long piece of canvas up while she stapled it to the frame. There was no master plan behind the imagery, but Reynolds says she had always wanted to create a painting that people could walk into, surrounded by images
“speaking to each other across the space” in a field of energy. “The reference to the organ throughout the composition reflects my intense love of that instrument,” she explains in a written statement about the work. “My greatuncle was a well-known church organist in Chicago, and my mother played the organ throughout her life. Even as a young child, I would linger after the congregation had left the church sanctuary until the organist played the final chords. I felt transfixed, enveloped in the great silence that always followed.”
SETH DAVID RUBIN
That feeling of contemplative, profound silence following the thundering of organ pipes is what Reynolds hopes to evoke in the viewer with the experience of entering Composition in the Round. The piece has been exhibited several times over the years, but due to its size has not had a regular home until now. In speaking with Reynolds, she acknowledges that the imagery, while subconscious, relates to her convictions about human rights and social justice. She has an affinity for the vulnerable among us, whether that be a child abused as she
was – she was raped as a six-year-old and never spoke of it until recently – or the women speaking out these days about sexual harassment and discrimination. She also has strong feelings about “our blue marble,” as she refers to our planet, concerned about Earth’s degradation from climate changes and abuse. A native of Elkhart, Indiana, Reynolds earned her BA degree in French and Art at Indiana University in 1962, studying in Paris on a scholarship. In 1983, she earned an MFA from Brooklyn College. Reynolds first came to the Hudson Valley when she took a job at Bard College as director of the Education Program there. She has lived in Stone Ridge since. Reynolds has exhibited her painting widely in this country and abroad since the 1970s. She has been the recipient of many grants, the first a Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation grant in 1963 and including two Pollock-Krasner Foundation grants, in 1987 and 1997. She received an Athena Foundation grant and residency at sculptor Mark DiSuvero’s studio in Long Island City in 1985. And in 1996, Reynolds was commissioned to create faux “Picassos” for the Merchant/Ivory film, Surviving Picasso. She has also been involved in arts education for all age groups for nearly 40 years, a passion that the artist plans to bring to the Stone Ridge community through workshops in the new space being established in the historic firehouse. Her work in museum education for institutions that include the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, the Dutchess County Arts Council and, most recently, as director of education for the Caramoor Center for Music and the Arts in Katonah, has focused on “helping people overcome their fear of
visual art,” she says. “And helping people learn to see through art helps them to learn to see the entire world differently.” Art education in the Stone Ridge space will be “a serious endeavor,” Reynolds notes, “not a ‘Sunday painter’ kind of thing. I really want to make a difference, and help people expand their consciousness around visual art. I can’t wait to get started.” But the enterprise, to be called Blue Ma r b l e A r t s , in tribute to Reynolds’ concern for the planet, will have to wait until the construction of workshop space on the top floor is completed. And because of the need to raise funds to do that, there is still a lot of work to do. (Reynolds and her husband have demonstrated their complete dedication to the project in having mortgaged their own home to purchase the building.) A recent visit to the site revealed a studioin-progress that promises to become an inviting, well-lit space. Windows were being installed, with Reynolds noting that she has several pieces of stained glass from an old church that will be inserted into the final product. Below the workshop space, in a loft over the main floor, is the studio space in which Reynolds will work herself. At this time, the main floor of the old firehouse is open to viewers by appointment, who may experience the permanent installation of Composition in the Round in its own gallery and a rotating exhibit of works by Reynolds in the remainder of the space. Visitors over the next few months should be forewarned that the gallery holding Composition is unheated at this time. With time and funding, the space will evolve organically, says the artist. “Like any creative process, you can’t force it.” The eventual goal is to become a 501 (c) (3) not-for-profit with

Inez Nathanial Walker solo show to open at Vassar’s Lehman Loeb
The Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center at Vassar presents “Freehand: Drawings by Inez Nathanial Walker” beginning on February 1. Curated by Mary-Kay Lombino, “Freehand” gathers together 15 works by the selftaught artist, drawn from the Lehman Loeb Art Center’s permanent collec-
tion. Most of the works were donated by the late Vermont art dealer Pat O’Brien Parsons, Walker’s friend and principal champion in the art world. Inez Nathanial Walker made her first drawings while serving a sentence for killing a man who had abused her. She drew portraits on the back of mimeographed prison newsletters in her free time and during a remedial English course offered to inmates. Elizabeth Bayley, who taught the course, noticed the drawings after class one day and decided to show them to Vermont art dealer Pat O’Brien Parsons (Vassar class of 1951), who ran a nearby gallery at the time. Parsons quickly took an interest in Walker and the two became good friends, with Parsons encouraging Walker’s drawing, providing her with art supplies and finding a market for her work. “Freehand,” the artist’s first one-person museum exhibition, will open with a lecture on Friday, February 1 in Taylor Hall 102 at 5:30 p.m, followed by a reception at the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center at 6:30 p.m. Inez Nathanial Walker exhibition Friday, Feb. 1, 5:30 p.m. Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center Vassar College, 124 Raymond Ave. Poughkeespie, (845) 437-5237 https://fllac.vassar.edu
