WOMEN’S STUDIO WORKSHOP’S CHILI BOWL FIESTA AT SUNY-ULSTER

t the Chili Bowl Fiesta you can choose among nearly 1,000 ceramic bowls and mugs handmade for the occasion by WSW staff, interns and volunteers in the months leading up to the Fiesta. One of the pleasures of winter in the Hudson Valley is the abundance of public chili cook-offs. Whether you like yours loaded with savory meat or pristinely vegan, this beloved transnational dish raises humble peasant cooking with frugal ingredients to lofty heights of culinary glory while it warms the innards. Every chef makes chili differently, and an opportunity to compare and contrast is a fine, satisfying way to spend a cold afternoon. Among the longest-running chili-themed annual celebrations in our neck of the woods is the Chili Bowl Fiesta put on each February as a fundraiser by the Binnewater-based arts organization, the Women’s Studio Workshop (WSW). Twenty or more local eateries donate great vats of delicious chili, both meaty and vegetarian. But what makes this two-decade-old event uniquely artsy is the fact that you first choose among nearly 1,000 ceramic bowls and mugs handmade for the occasion by WSW staff, interns and volunteers in the months leading up to the Fiesta. Prices for the vessels, to be loaded with the chili of your choice, typically range from $10 to $100. If you can’t find one that you want to take home, you can still purchase servings of chili in paper bowls; but if you’ve attended the Fiesta in the past, you already know that the temptation is far greater to invest in more bowls than you can consume their contents. It’s all for a good cause, and many attendees come back every year to build up their collections of beautiful handcrafted crockery. The Women’s Studio Workshop’s 22nd annual Chili Bowl Fiesta will take place in the cafeteria at SUNY-Ulster, located at 491 Cottekill Road in Stone Ridge. It opens at 2 p.m. on Saturday, February 23. For the first two hours – meaning best pick of the eating vessels – there is a $10 admission charge. Arrivals from 4 to 7 p.m. get in free. There will be live music all day long.

When first-time novelist Mark Haddon wrote The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time in 2003, he was careful to avoid using the words “autism” or “Asperger’s syndrome” in

describing his protagonist. Christopher Boone, 15, is simply a math prodigy and mystery buff who has difficulty functioning in social situations and is easily overwhelmed by too much stimuli. Haddon was very conscious of not being an expert on autism-spectrum illnesses. And yet the novel, along with Simon Stephens’ 2012 stage adaptation, went on to garner high praise from the spectrum community for their sensitive depiction of the world as seen by a young man who is neurologically atypical. The novel won a pile of prizes including the Whitbread Book of the Year award, and was longlisted for the Man Booker Prize. The original London production of the play copped seven Olivier Awards; the 2014 Broadway production took five Emmys, six Drama Desk awards and five Outer Critics Circle awards.

SCREEN

CASTING CALL AT CIVIC CENTER ON SATURDAY FOR MARK RUFFALO HBO SERIES

oes appearing as an extra in a movie or TV show sound appealing? If you’re willing to hang out at the Mid-Hudson Civic Center for most of the day this Saturday, your wish might come true. That’s because Mark Ruffalo’s upcoming HBO mini-series, I Know This Much Is True, has made a commitment to “local hires only” when it goes into production, with shoots at several mid-Hudson locations scheduled for April 1 till September 30. Based on a 1998 novel by Wally Lamb, I Know This Much Is True will star Ruffalo as troubled twins, one of whom is committed to a mental institution and the other of whom suffers from PTSD and is having relationship issues. Ruffalo, who has a home in Callicoon in Sullivan County, also serves as executive producer for the six-episode series, and Derek Cianfrance, who also filmed The Place beyond the Pines upstate, is the screenwriter and director. What we know so far is that some scenes will be shot in Poughkeepsie’s Mount Carmel neighborhood, and that the production has obtained permission from the Town of Ulster to shut down a stretch of Route 209 – between the Route 28 and Sawkill Road exits – on April 23, June 3 and August 1 for filming purposes. The Rita Powers Casting Group is seeking actors of all ages for principal speaking roles, day-player roles and background (a/k/a “extras”) acting roles. While the call is “open to all ethnic types,” especially sought are Italian and mixed Italian/African-American looks, including dark-haired babies from newborn to 12 months. The story unfolds over a lifetime, from the 1920s to the 1990s, so aspiring actors would be well-advised to leave their nose and eyebrow rings in their pockets when showing up for this weekend’s open casting call. Members of SAG and AFTRA get generous union rates, non-union background players $15 per hour (and no guarantee that your 15 seconds of fame won’t end up on the cutting room floor). The casting call takes place this Saturday, February 23 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Mid-Hudson Civic Center at 14 Civic Center Drive in downtown Poughkeepsie. To participate, you must first fill out the casting directors’ online sign-up sheet at https://bit.ly/2Io8Pmy, and bring along a copy of the form and a portrait photo of yourself. If chosen, you’ll be contacted later for a possible audition. – Frances Marion Platt Casting call for Mark Ruffalo’s upcoming HBO mini-series, I Know This Much Is True, Saturday, Feb. 23, 11 a.m.-4 p.m., Free, Mid-Hudson Civic Center, 14 Civic Center Drive, Poughkeepsie, https://bit.ly/2Io8Pmy

Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time at the Center for Performing Arts at Rhinebeck. Andy Weintraub directs, and Michael Wagner portrays Christopher, the teenager whose investigation of the mysterious killing of a neighbor’s dog leads to shocking revelations about his own family, culminating in a highly challenging solo trip into London to seek the mother his father had told him had died. Also in the cast are Alex Skovan as Ed, Emily McCarthy as Siobhan, Dot Luongo as Judy, Patricia Seholm, David Foster, Aaron Michael Hall, Andy Crispell,

Lisa Delia and Jody Satriani. What makes this production extraspecial is the collaboration with the Anderson Center for Autism, based in nearby Staatsburg. An autism-friendly matinée will be held on Saturday, March 2 at p.m., featuring lower sound and light effects and dimmed (not dark) house lighting. The lobby will be open during the show as a quiet space for audience members who wish to take a break. A question-and- answer session will be held after the February 22 performance. Performances begin at 8 p.m. on Fridays

They got their wish; the movie that resulted is unlike any World War I documentary youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever seen.

Hudson Valley Oral History Project will train volunteer ﬁeld producers

Fellow arts impresarios Chris Silva and Mark Morganstern will face off in “word-to-word and arm-to-arm combat” to beneﬁt vets this Sunday.

EVENT

Cabin Fever Showdown

Vo l u n t e e r field producers are needed by the Hudson Valley Oral History Project, which is teaming up this year with Upstate Films to produce four oral h i s t o r i e s around the Rhinebeck area. All Hudson Valley Lives videos produced during this project period, funded by a grant from the Frost Foundation, will be exhibited publicly at Upstate Films in December 2019. Under the guidance of the Hudson Valley Oral History Project team, a dozen volunteers aged 16 or older will be trained in the basic techniques of recording oral histories, as well as

basic video production methods. These include research and writing, production planning, basic camera operation and framing techniques, lighting, audio recording and post-production. Participants will take one class per week from March 1 through May 31. Field video/ audio recording of interviews will take place in June, transcribing of interviews and scripting from July 1 to September 8, field video/audio recording of B-roll expository footage from September 9 to October 13 and final editing from October 14 to December 8. No experience in video production or research/writing is required. To apply, download the form at https:// bit.ly/2XdW6GO and send it to: Upstate Films, PO Box 324, Rhinebeck, NY 12572 or return it to a staff member at the box office. Not available to participate, but want to show your support for the Hudson Valley Oral History Project? Come to the Oscar Party this Sunday evening, February 24 at Upstate Films in Rhinebeck; proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to the Hudson Valley Oral History Project.

Benefit throwdown to abolish veterans’ medical debt this Sunday, February 24, at Rosendale Café

n a fairer world, war veterans would have all of their medical needs taken care of by the government. Most of us have been led to believe that this is already the case, but alas, it isn’t. The inability of many vets to pay off medical debt has inspired a campaign with a $50 million goal called RIP Medical Debt, and an organization called UlsterUnited4Vets is working to raise both awareness and funding. The local fundraising goal is $5,000. To get there, Casey Kurtti and Jacob Sherman are organizing a series of charity events. They’ve recruited Kurtti’s husband, Bardavon/UPAC executive director Chris Silva, and his longtime friend and fellow arts impresario, Mark Morganstern, owner of the Rosendale Café, to hold a competition they’re calling the Cabin Fever Showdown. “Word-to-word and arm-to-arm combat” are promised, suggesting that prowess in both poetry slams and arm-wrestling will be put to the test. Also on the menu: “never-before-revealed backstage stories,” guest bartenders, surprises, games of skill and prizes. The fun for a good cause goes down from 6 to 9 p.m. on Sunday, February 24 at the Rosendale Café, located at 434 Main Street in Rosendale. The suggested donation at the door is $5, and the Café will throw in $1 for every beer and every burrito ordered through February 24. For more information about the charitable campaign, or to make a donation, visit www.ulsterunited4vets.org.

human movement absolutely natural. These bits of silent film have realistic dialogue and ambient soundtracks now, as well. He hired lipreading experts to figure out what soldiers must have been saying and actors to lip-sync those lines. For a sequence in which an officer gives a pep talk to his company in preparation for their movement to the Western Front, Jackson had his people research which military unit it must have been. Then he pored over their records until he found the text of a speech with the right date and content, read it aloud, had his engineers figure out how it fit with the officer’s movements, then hired an actor with the correct regional accent to deliver the speech. In perhaps the most audacious move of all, Jackson colorized. This isn’t the kind of colorization that gave early efforts to modernize classic black-and-white cinema a bad name; it looks so natural that it makes this historical footage spring insistently to life, humanizing the troops as never before since the Great War itself. The level of detail here is so stunningly meticulous that it sets a new precedent for processing archival film, however poor the condition. Jackson also took artistic liberties by panning or zooming into scenes that were originally filmed with a wide-angled stationary camera, so that the static newsreel feel gives way to a contemporary cinematographic style of storytelling, engaging the viewer emotionally in the lives of these young men who are mostly about to be slaughtered. Jackson keeps his focus on showing what life was like for ordinary British footsoldiers on the front lines in Belgium. Most of the soundtrack consists of clips from oral histories recorded by World War

I veterans in the 1960s and ’70s, none of them identified until the closing credits. It’s an Everyman’s-eye-view of the naïve excitement of signing up to fight “Jerry,” the appalling conditions in the trenches, the numbing butchery of battle, the sense of deflation following the Armistice and the disorientation of returning home, jobless and unable to relate to anyone who hadn’t shared their horrific experiences. The director makes no political statement about the stupidity of war in general and that war in particular, but he doesn’t need to. These vets tell their own harrowing collective tale clearly enough. – Frances Marion Platt

MUSIC Hudson ﬁlmmaker seeks funding for documentary about Ella Fitzgerald’s reform school sojourn

Ella Fitzgerald in 1940 (photo by Carl Van Vechten | Library of Congress)

The institution now known as the Hudson Correctional Facility in the City of Hudson was, from 1904 to 1975, the state’s only reformatory for delinquent girls. Within a two-week period in 1932, 14 girls ran away from the facility, whose staff had a reputation for employing physical abuse and solitary confinement as disciplinary measures. So the New York Training School for Girls brought in a consultant whose studies of the social interactions among some 500 girls there would become a foundational document of modern psychology: Who Shall Survive? by Jacob Moreno, creator of psychodrama and early advo-

cate of group therapy. We don’t know if she was one of Moreno’s study subjects, but an inmate of the New York Training School during the time of his residency there went on to even greater fame in an entirely different field. Ella Fitzgerald was 15 years old and living in Yonkers when her mother died of injuries sustained in a car accident. She was left in the care of her stepfather, who may have been abusive, and dropped out of school; shortly thereafter, an aunt brought young Ella to Harlem. There the girl found sketchy work as a numbers runner and as a lookout for a bordello. Picked up by the police, Ella was first placed in an orphanage in Riverdale and then relocated upstate to the New York Training School for Girls. She arrived there in April 1933 – described in the logbook as “ungovernable” – and soon became one of the notorious institution’s runaways, escaping sometime around the end of 1933 or beginning of 1934. A former superintendent, Thomas Tunney, told New York Times journalist Nina Bernstein in 1996 that the teenaged Fitzgerald “hated the place,” where the vocal prodigy was not even allowed to participate in the whitesonly school choir. “She had been held in the basement of one of the cottages once and all but tortured.” Back in Harlem and homeless, Ella Fitzgerald signed up to compete in the one of the first Amateur Nights at the Apollo Theater, intending at first to dance; but she switched to singing, fearing that

she had no chance against a dance duo called the Edwards Sisters. Ella took First Prize. That was in November 1934. Two months later, Fitzgerald won the chance to perform for a week at the Harlem Opera House, where she caught the attention of drummer and bandleader Chick Webb. He signed her up to sing with his orchestra, and soon thereafter they had a megahit with “A-Tisket, A-Tasket.” The rest is history. Hudson-based filmmaker David McDonald learned about Fitzgerald’s sojourn at the reformatory via Hudson’s Prison Public Memory Project. A few years later, he decided to write a screenplay about it, filling in major gaps in the narrative using his own imagination. “I realized that the Ella Fitzgerald story was incredibly pertinent in presentday America,” and might add to the “nationwide conversation about the awful history of African-American incarceration in this country,” McDonald says. “What Ella did by escaping the prison and singing at the Amateur Night at the Apollo was such a defiant, proud gesture that its message would fit particularly well in demoralized America, and perhaps even serve as a rallying cry.” Not finding any Hollywood backers for the project, McDonald has established a GoFundMe page and is putting together a management team to facilitate the project – perhaps as a theatrical production at the Hudson Opera House, before turning it into a film.

Gang of Four this Sunday at Colony

The influential British post-punk band Gang of Four performs at Colony in Woodstock on Sunday, February 24. Their politicized groove rock in the late ’70s and early ’80s changed the terms of punk, its musical bearings and political critique. While cofounding member and lead singer Jon King is no longer on board, co-founding guitarist Andy Gill still helms the ship – and, as a rash of records in the 2000s attests, this is not a nostalgia tour. Tickets cost $25 in advance, $35 on the day of the show.

Steve Miller Band coming to Hutton Brickyards in Kingston

rea performances by legendary bass and Chapman stick player Tony Levin and drummer Jerry Marotta are not unusual. Both are longtime Woodstock area residents; they played together for years in Peter Gabriel’s band; and the 21st century has seen a pronounced trend toward playing local, even among heavy cats like these. But this one is a bit of surprise: When Levin and Marotta perform at the Bearsville Theater on Thursday, February 28, they are joined by the legendary guitarist Phil Keaggy. Keaggy’s 50-year career defies easy explanation. He began as a startlingly articulate shredder with the Ohio power trio Glass Harp, but he became most famous for a distinctively glistening and virtuosic fingerstyle acoustic playing, as well as a legacy as a songwriter and recording artist that straddles Christian and secular markets (no small feat; in fact, pretty close to unique). Who knows what these three will sound like? The possibilities are fascinating.

Art hot spot on Route 28 Check out the Woodstock Art Exchange & Pablo Glass Studio in West Hurley

hink artisan, and you picture a maker space in a factory loft or farm cottage and handcrafted items artfully displayed in a charming storefront on a pedestrian stretch of Main Street. Since last fall, however, some serious artisan activity has been taking place right off the highway. Easy to miss as you’re whizzing by on Route 28 on your way from Kingston to Woodstock, the Woodstock Art Exchange and Pablo Glass Studio are located in a complex of buildings in West Hurley. Rather than gasoline and coffee, they offer art, hand-blown glassware and an array of unique handcrafted items – plus glassblowing. The Glass Studio is situated in a barnsized prefab metal structure with an enormous window and a black-and-white sign depicting a 19th-century glassblower plastered to its side. Here owner Pablo Weinschenk and an assortment of visiting craftspeople practice the ancient art of glassblowing, which dates back to the first century BC. On most weekends, visitors are welcome to watch the mesmerizing process of transforming a liquid, molten substance, like something harvested from a volcano, into a hard, clear or colored symmetrically shaped glass. The blast of heat from the multitude of furnaces is an added attraction on a cold winter day. Next door is the Woodstock Art Exchange (WEA), a gallery and gift store located in the former garage painted cheery red. The WAE is currently exhibiting the woodcuts of Margie Greve and the pastels of Rob Wade, and stocks a rich assortment of glassware, much of it crafted in the Studio and including several pieces that represent tour de force treatments of the medium, among the very best creations of contemporary glass art, along with various crafted items ranging in price from $5 to over $1,000. Weinschenk, who runs the business with his wife, Georganne Chapin (officially, she’s the marketing manager), opened the studio

Weinschenk had met Chapin, who runs a Medicaid nonprofit health care company in Tarrytown, just after his photography business had crashed, and she had encouraged him to pursue his interest in glass. With the help of her son, Ernesto Echeverria, who had learned glassblowing from Weinschenk and become a glass artist

“One problem glassblowers have is that maintaining their own studio is prohibitively expensive,” said Weinschenk.

last October, following the construction of the prefab building over the summer. For nearly 20 years, the native Argentinian – his father was a German cinematographer who fled Nazi Germany in the 1930s – ran a successful photo lab and printing studio in lower Manhattan, catering to some of the world’s most famous photographers, until changes in technology led to the closure of the business in 2004 and a new career as a glassblower. Why glass? “I was always fascinated by glass,” said Weinschenk. “The type of material I used

to make prints was this high-gloss vividly colored Cibachrome,” which had a glasslike quality. After studying the craft at Urban Glass, a renowned art-glass studio in downtown Brooklyn, and with a succession of glass artists, he opened his own studio in 2010 at Garnerville Arts Center, a massive 19thcentury industrial complex in Rockland County repurposed as artists’ studios and exhibition space. Unfortunately, the very next year, Hurricane Irene hit and the studio was destroyed in a flood.

himself (he now serves as the Studio’s production manager), Weinschenk rescued what he could from the wreckage and rebuilt the studio in the garage of the couple’s weekend house in Woodstock. He later moved his facility to Kingston’s Shirt Factory, then to a 5,000-square-foot loft in the Brush Factory. But the space was expensive, so in 2015 he and Chapin bought the property on Route 28, which had been abandoned and consisted of a house, three-bay garage and enough land to construct a studio. The gallery, which features rotating two-month shows of work by mostly local artists, opened in December 2016. Partly because the town’s zoning restrictions have prevented him from erecting a sign for the glass studio, “People come in and say, ‘What is this place?’” said Weinschenk. “People know us through the art shows and personal connections, but we don’t get many walk-ins.” In the spring, he plans to improve the visibility by installing a glass door in the studio so people can glimpse the glassblowers

furnace, called the “glory hole,” to keep the material pliable. He then dipped the glass into granules of pigment in a metal scoop before more rolling, shaping and reheating, including pinching the bottom with tweezers to create three tiny feet. Weinschenk then took a solid metal rod, called a punty, from the furnace where a row of pipes and rods were kept hot and grabbed a small glob of molten glass before tapping his rod, with a quick, sure motion, to the bottom of Davis’ glass, where the small glob adhered, pulling the glass off Davis’ pipe and leaving the opening exposed, so that Davis could now shape the lip of the glass. Davis rubbed a metal block against the surface of the glass, which Weinschenk explained was used to cool the surface so that it “becomes like the skin of a balloon.” He repeated the rolling process, snipping off the excess glass with shears. Now clear and shiny, the glass was transferred to a third furnace, called the annealer, whose slowly decreasing temperature over a period of hours gradually cools the glass, which prevents it from cracking. The whole glassblowing process took about 15 minutes – a kind of steady-motion, surefooted dance with no wasted effort or stasis. Weinschenk said that learning glassblowing “was very difficult” – although he noted that for Chapin’s son, Ernesto Echeverria, “It was very easy. He’s a natural.” Having a background in graphics and color was an advantage: “Though not technically great, my pieces were always more pleasing to the people.” His bright-colored “squiggles” – a vaselike form culminating in a skinny, flamelike swirl, resembling something that the Cat in the Hat would drink from – are a bestseller at the WAE (“They’re why we have a gift shop here”) and are priced at $22.50.

mysterious-looking, round-as-the-moon container that looked both ancient and futuristic and a sculpted head that appears to be made of bronze but is actually glass – are by Louis Sclafani, a Rosendale resident who learned to blow glass in Murano, Italy back in the 1970s “and is our fanciest glass artist,” according to Weinschenk – as well as the priciest, with the head priced at $4,000. It’s surpassed in pricetag only by the lovely tabletop marble sculptures of nudes by Joseph Attardo, who resides in Olivebridge, and an unusual hanging chain artwork consisting of hundreds of interconnected circular glass tubes by David Licata. Rob Scavuzzo’s tall, organically shaped multicolored pieces are also stunning in their fluidity, with areas of color glistening as if they were encased in a waterfall; the Ithaca-based artist sells his work through galleries all over the country. The contemporary glassware, arranged on shelves and freestanding display blocks, is complemented by Greve’s and Wade’s art. Greve’s large-scale, hand-colored woodcut of a female nude swimming with three fish dominates one wall: a monumental application of the medium imbued with the grace, schematic patterning and animation of an ancient Greek vase painting. A second large woodcut, depicting banks of clouds, hangs over the door, while a print depicting a woman bent over in a field further demonstrates the artist’s fascination with and mastery of pattern. Other works by her include a portrait of a pipe-smoking Tom Crean – an animalloving member of Shackleton’s expedition to Antarctica – holding a cluster of pups, and several framed acrylic paintings resembling Tarot cards in two-tone brown and blue, which depict rock ‘n’ roll stars as the archetypes for a set of cards depicting the mystical journey of the Fool, who gains knowledge through experiences in life and music. (Prints from the set are also for sale.) Greve, who lives in Bearsville and formerly worked as an art director, graphic designer and patternmaker in New York City, has had her woodblock portraits published in The New Yorker and Rolling Stone and created the digital-collage

Wade’s work consists of pastel drawings depicting pigs, goats and sheep, both in neutral black, gray and white and muted, Vuillardlike colors. While the animals are depicted in a landscape setting and have a distinctive character, they also read as graphic images or signs, with simplified areas of tones and color. Wade, who resides in Mount Tremper, studied at the School of Visual Arts, Art Students League, SUNYFarmingdale and the Woodstock School of Art, and cites Henry Moore, Milton Avery and Susan Rothenberg as among his influences. The show is up through March 11. On the weekends, while Weinschenk is busy in the studio, Chapin staffs the gallery.

NIGHT SKY

Surprises about the returning Sun

unshine is now exploding back into our lives. For almost everyone, its light produces mood enhancement. But the process contains little-known quirks whose secrets are fascinating. The overarching story, mentioned periodically on this page, is the fact that our region has an unusual sky situation. Many parts of the world have a rainy season; your friends in most of California, for example, enjoy cloudless skies in the autumn while their skimpy annual rain falls mostly during winter. Like them, we see cloudy conditions certain times of the year, and get other months with just half as much cloudiness. And yet our rainfall shows no seasonal variation. We steadily receive between three and four inches of rain (or its snowfall equivalent) every month of the year, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a clear or a cloudy one. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite odd, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you think? Our cloudiest month is November. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when long-term records reveal an average 66 percent cloud cover. In November, the Sun only shines during 34 percent of the daylight hours. And since November daylight is very short to begin with, we end up with an average of only 3.4 hours of daily sunlight: the gloomiest month of the year. December is slightly less cloudy, but we still only see the Sun during 39 percent of the day. And since this is the Solstice month, with the yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s least daylight, it translates into a daily pathetic December average of just 3.5 sunlit hours. Those are our cloudiest months by far, and the darkest, too. If by New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s you somehow escaped suffering from SAD, or Seasonal Affective Disorder, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in luck, because things start to improve. After Novemberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s depressing 34 percent, the skyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s percentage of clear skies during the yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first four months is 51 percent in January, 52 percent now in February, 54 percent in March and 56 percent in April. Since the hours of daylight are rapidly growing, too, it translates into experiencing an average of 4.6 hours of daily sunshine in January, a nice boost to 5.7 hours now in February, 6.5 hours

in March and 7.3 daily sunlight hours in April. The current sunlight explosion period ultimately carries us to the four sunniest months of the year here in the Hudson Valley and Catskills. Those are May through August. During that entire period, the average daily cloud cover remains under 50 percent and the average daily sunshine stays over eight hours. Around here, sunlight reaches its zenith in July. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when cloud cover is only 38 percent, our annual minimum, so that we enjoy 62 percent sunshine, which yields the yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s maximum of 9.3 average hours a day. September falls off but remains pretty good, with 58 percent clear skies and seven hours of daily sunshine. But then the ebony axe falls. October in our region offers very nearly a 50/50 mix of blue sky versus cloud cover, which in that post-equinoctial month means that we only see a daily average of 5.4 sunlit hours. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our normal year in terms of clouds and sun, which also reveals when we get the best stargazing. Obviously, you see more constellations and meteors in the warm weather than in the cold. The biggest takeaway is what we are experiencing now, as February winds down: We are currently in the midst of a happy transformation in which, over the next five months, the skies grow steadily bluer and the hours of sunshine rapidly expand on a daily basis. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Bob Berman Want to know more?

climate change. At the same time, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re 350 to 400 families. Sometimes when we have large events, there are cups of red wine or grape juice for the ritual â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re plastic cups! How can we do that? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s antithetical to being â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stewards of nature.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;So, a group of us got together to figure out how we can improve what we do here. WJC recently switched to all-LED lighting: a move that will make a big difference in our energy bill and usage, by about 80 percent. Before the group even formed, we were offered free solar panels, which generate a decent amount of our needs.

is sustainability as it relates to foods. For example, if we serve eggs, are they from cage-free birds and locally sourced?â&#x20AC;? Saffer describes other items on the Hazon checklist, which includes landscaping the grounds with native plants and pollinators and posting signage around the synagogue and in the building itself to make people more aware of whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s being done. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got rid of the paper plates; weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to use glass plates and silverware. It takes a team to get this done: Do the dishes and dry them after an event. But it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel right to be working in a synagogue where youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re focusing your attention on creating a better planet, and in the process, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re creating a mound of garbage,â&#x20AC;? he says.

Animals

If you’re looking for someone who’ll always be happy to see you and give you unconditional love forever, look no further! That someone could be waiting for you at Saugerties Animal Shelter. LILY; 8-year old cat girl came in naked. She lost most of her fur due to a flea allergy. Hair has mostly grown back. Very sweet. Loves to cuddle. No other pets, please. ATHENA; 2-3 year old sweet, independent, affectionate, opinionated black & white cat girl. She was a wonderful mom & her kittens were all adopted. Now it’s her turn to be loved. LEXI; beautiful tiger cat girl w/a heart of gold! Lexi was adopted, but was bullied by the resident cat, and now finds herself back at the shelter. If you can give this 3-year old sweetheart the quiet, loving home she needs, she will thank you every day! DORIAN; shy, spayed, 2-3 year old female cat who just needs a quiet house to decompress & be loved. Dorian was a lonesome stray. Brittany; sweet 3-year old tuxedo cat girl who wants to be an only pet. Brittany has had a rough life. Let’s make life right for her by adopting her into a loving home. KITTENS: Tess, Colt & Rooster are about 6-months old. They’ve been spayed/neutered and are TOTALLY ready to love and be loved in their forever homes! All friendly and soooo sweet!! CHARLOTTE; 6-7 yrs old. She was an owner surrender. Low income and they moved out of a bad situation into a rent assisted place. They had no choice. Charlotte is very stressed at the shelter (on meds and calming supplements but she’s still chewing on herself and the walls..turning in circles holding her tail). Pitty mix. Sweet. Loves people. No other pets, please. SABRINA; 4-year old Hound mix girl. She’s very sweet & affectionate. Please- no cats. Dogs- males only and need a “meet & greet”. BIRCH; affectionate and loving 2-3 year old Rat Terrier boy who needs a terrier savvy person. He’s becoming more outgoing every day! DEXTER; 8-year old Pit mix, is so stressed at the shelter. His caregivers, whom he loved dearly, surrendered him. If you’d like to adopt an older dog whose heart is broken, please visit

...in all seasons.
