Playwright Richard Nelson to discuss The Gabriels in Rhinebeck

A Bike Blessing is a traditional ritual in many communities wherein motorcycles are blessed by a pastor or priest in the hope that it will provide safety in the upcoming biking season.

Woodstock Harley-Davidson hosts a Bike Blessing on Saturday, March 23.

T

ony and Olivier Award-winning playwright Richard Nelson, also known in the Hudson Valley as the screenwriter behind Hyde Park-on-Hudson, comes to Oblong Books in Rhinebeck on Thursday, March 21 for a discussion of his acclaimed three-part play cycle, The Gabriels: Election Year in the Life of One Family, in conversation with Michael Rhodes. While admission is free (preregistration recommended), the event is a fundraiser, with 20 percent of proceeds from book sales donated to the Tangent Theatre Company in Tivoli. It’s also meant to celebrate the broadcast this month on WNET/Channel 13 broadcast of Anton Chekhov’s Uncle Vanya, as translated and directed by Nelson for New York’s Hunter Theater.

Richard Nelson’s plays include Nikolai and the Others, Farewell to the Theatre, Conversations in Tusculum, How Shakespeare Won the West, Frank’s Home, Rodney’s Wife, Franny’s Way, Madame Melville, Goodnight Children Everywhere (Best Play Olivier), New England, The General from America, Misha’s Party, Two Shakespearean Actors, Some Americans Abroad, The Apple Family, James Joyce’s The Dead (Best Book of a Musical Tony) and My Life with Albertine.

The Gabriels follows the Gabriel family of Rhinebeck through the momentous and divisive 2016 election year. While preparing meals in their kitchen, together they grapple in real time with issues of money, history, art, politics and family, as well as the fear of having been left behind. This presentation begins at 6 p.m. on Thursday, March 21 at Oblong Books & Music, located at 6422 Montgomery Street (Route 9) in Rhinebeck. To reserve your spot, visit www.oblongbooks.com/event/richard-nelsongabriels.

innovative tap dancer (and Hudson Valley native) Jared Sprague. Sprague’s novel technique combines dance and music (no strangers, of course) with a surprising third medium: painting.

Sprague, who is completing his BFA in Commercial Dance at Pace University, places canvases with dabs of colorful paint on the floor. As he performs his various tap-dance phrases on the canvases, his shoes spread the paint and create a vibrant visual representation of the movements. Sprague’s “Capture the Tap” technique has been presented at tap-intensive programs such as the DC Tap Fest in Washington, DC and Tap Kids in Burlington, Vermont.

Tickets to this performance cost $25.

very now and then a middle-of-the-lineup Mountain Jam act – known, but maybe not so well or by so many – appeals so organically to the local vibe and taste that they immediately become welcomed fixtures in the local clubs, gain the support of our pair of independent radio tastemakers and find that they suddenly enjoy a pocket of committed and enthusiastic support in the mid-Hudson Valley, which, modest population notwithstanding, is nothing to sneeze at, given the region’s disproportionately rich musical legacy. Such is the case with Andy Frasco & the UN, who lit up 2018 Mountain Jam with a wild set or organ-fired funky rock ‘n’ roll led by an irrepressible entertainer who understands nothing of restraint. And good for him. With kindred rocker spirits Wild Adriatic in tow, Radio Woodstock presents Andy Frasco & the UN at Colony in Woodstock on Saturday, March 23. Tickets cost $20 and $40.

Chris Botti to perform at UPAC in Kingston

A

smooth jazz master with a truly global purview, trumpeter/ composer Chris Botti is one of the very few pop superstars that the genre has produced. While he always keeps it accessible, singable and user-friendly, there is no denying the man’s musical substance.

No one even really tries. Over the past three decades, Botti has recorded and performed with Sting, Barbra Streisand, Tony Bennett, Lady Gaga, Josh Groban, Yo-Yo Ma, Michael Bublé, Paul Simon, Joni Mitchell, John Mayer, Andrea Bocelli, world’s-greatest violinist Joshua Bell and many more. But it is in his own work as composer, interpreter and bandleader that Botti has emerged as something of a visionary with his wide-ranging, integral fusions of world sounds and Western music.

Stereotypes of smooth jazz be damned, 2012’s Grammy-winning Impressions is a quietly dazzling collection of orchestral settings with Botti’s horn cast as diva, featuring readings of Chopin, Piazzolla and Randy Newman (three of my favorites) alongside an array of sympathetic originals. His touch is light, but Chris Botti is no lightweight. He is also quite the looker, but you knew that.

The Bardavon presents trumpeter extraordinaire Chris Botti and his band at the Ulster Performing Arts Center in Kingston on Friday, March 29. Tickets cost $60 to $95 based on location, with a discount for Bardavon members.

Omara Portuondo farewell tour to visit Bardavon

The legendary Cuban diva Omara Portuondo is undertaking a farewell tour, aptly named “Last Kiss.” The Bardavon is privileged to be one of the

venues on the itinerary. As an original member of the seminal Buena Vista Social Club (the Ry Cooder album and the Wim Wenders film), Portuondo helped reintroduce the sophisticated and singular music of Cuba to American audiences. She began her career as a dancer at Havana’s famed Tropicana Club in the early 1950s. In 1953, she changed her focus to her singing career, finding success with Cuban vocal group Cuarteto d’Aida.

Portuondo’s final worldwide tour comes on the heels of her most recent album, last year’s Omara Siempre, and a series of high-profile performances with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, at the Kennedy Center and more. She will be joined by a traditional piano/bass/drums/percussion lineup consisting of Grammy-nominated pianist Roberto Fonseca, Andres Coayo on percussion, Ruly Herrera on drums and bassist Yandy Martinez.

snippet of Walter Cronkite captured on TV broadcasts from July 1969.

If you were alive then, you might get a little misty-eyed to hear the gravitas of that voice, missing the days when most Americans didn’t get most of their news from sources fraught with bias and hysteria. And if you were a space science geek, you will definitely be enthralled with this film, which takes us hour-by-hour through the preparations for the flight, then the voyage to the Moon and back. Footage of the Moon’s surface (including its unfamiliar back side) shot in large format from the Columbia and the Eagle is pretty darned spectacular. If your impressions of space travel were formed primarily by exposure to science fiction movies, you may instead be a little shocked by how low-tech and cruddy the entire operation looks, from the clanking elevators and gantries at the launchpad to the endless rows of computers in Mission Control, with their analog dials, gauges and plugs and their paper data readouts. Even the lunar lander looks crude, as if welded together from an Erector Set and wrapped in foil.

If the hard science and math of the space program were never particularly your

thing, you may find yourself distracted by the retro sociology of the historical setting.

Of the hundreds of NASA technicians and journalists packing the control room, only one is female, few if any are men of color and pretty much all have terrible haircuts. Most of them are smoking cigarettes (and break out cigars upon successful completion of the mission). “Man” and “mankind” are routinely used to denote all of humanity.

When the camera strays outside this inner sanctum perceived in its time as futuristic, these impressions are strongly reinforced. Some of the most striking footage depicts masses of Americans, nearly all of them white, lining northern Florida’s beaches, balconies and parking lots, enjoying beer and barbecue while they await liftoff. The hats, the eyeglasses, the hairdos, the pants…everything looks stupid, like a parody. Did we really dress that badly in 1969? I certainly didn’t see anybody who remotely resembled my 15-year-old hippie self; but then, going to see a space launch wouldn’t have been my idea of a good time back then.

Truth be told, I am not the target audience for Apollo 11. The cockles of my insufficiently patriotic heart were never much stirred by the costly race for the Moon, at a time when millions were starving around the globe. I get it now

a stretch to presume that the success of Jackson’s effort has opened the floodgates for dozens of similar projects that mine various treasure troves of existing footage of historical interest.

Bring ’em on, I say. The work of so many dedicated and talented people to capture important events on film, on tape and on paper should not be left to languish indefinitely. But there’s no guarantee that all the finished products will be as moving as They Shall Not Grow Old, and commercial appeal for such movies is by no means guaranteed. Some will appeal only to niche interest groups, whose size will dictate, in many cases, whether they make it to the big or the small screen.

For some of these ambitious documentaries about to burst onto our radar, screen size will be a significant factor in choosing where to watch them.

Anyone with a strong interest in the US space program should find Apollo 11 worth the effort to find in a cinema. That’s because much of the archival footage was shot in 65 millimeter. NASA was planning to make its own blockbuster doc about the Moon landing and the process leading up to it, but for unexplained reasons the project fell through. Not explaining is a definitive feature of this movie, unusual for the documentary genre: There’s no retrospective voiceover narration – the only talk comes from Mission Control, the spacecraft itself and an occasional

NIGHT SKY

Here comes the Sun Don’t hide from it

F

ew seem to realize that the Sun in April is as strong as it is in August, especially once we hit the middle of the month. But solar fear and confusion still abound. I certainly got repeatedly surprised when I researched its health effects during the year I wrote my 2011 book, The Sun’s Heartbeat (Little, Brown).

Everyone probably instinctively senses that sunlight enhances their mood and whittles away depression. This may be due to the fact that its rays cause the brain to release serotonin, which makes you feel good during the day and, by then creating melatonin within the pineal gland, also promotes a good night’s sleep. But many fear these same rays can cause cancer.

Certainly, the significant migration from cloudier northern states to the Sun Belt, together with the rise in outdoor activities like golf, tennis and boating, has given millions of people frequent blasts of excessive sunlight. These activities, but particularly any individual history of blister-producing childhood sunburns, can instigate skin cancers, including the dreaded melanoma.

So it makes sense to avoid burns. However, in the past two decades many have carried this too far, since sunlight in moderation is a potent cancer preventative.

It’s true: Research shows that people who receive minimal sunlight exposure have a greater likelihood of contracting ovarian cancer, pancreatic cancer, colon cancer, Hodgkin’s lymphoma and prostate cancer. When prevention of some or many of these is balanced against the 8,000 annual new cases of melanoma, it’s clear that sunlight is more our friend than our enemy – which means that slathering SPF blockers onto our skin whenever we step outdoors is not a good idea until we’ve received at least 15 or 20 minutes of daily exposure.

That’s the recommended amount – preferably by lying around wearing just a swimsuit in the middle of the day, when the rays are strongest. But at minimum, with just face and arms exposed, try to get at least 15 or 20 minutes of strong sunlight a day, a few times a week.

The primary salutary mechanism is that sunlight’s medium-length ultraviolet rays, called UV-B, interact with cholesterol in the skin to create a type of beneficial vitamin D that you will not get from popping vitamin pills. Unfortunately, these rays are blocked by window glass. Worse, glass lets UV-A come through: a type of sunlight that, over time, can instigate skin cancer. So it’s better to open that window and let glassless sunrays hit you.

Other studies show that sunlight delivers benefits for various skin conditions, and also for helping prevent or relieve thyroid problems, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus and inflammatory bowel disease.

It doesn’t take long to gain such benefits. You needn’t sunbathe for hours, and indeed

It’s good to receive at least 15 or 20 minutes of daily exposure to the sun, preferably in the middle of the day

that the whole world benefited from the technological advancements spurred by aerospace R & D; I spend plenty of time today – probably too much time – using gadgets with miniaturized circuits and whatnot. But what we went there for, if it was more than a pissing contest with the USSR, still eludes me.

More disappointing, in cinematic terms, is the dry, prosaic storytelling approach of this movie. Efforts to develop the crew as characters are minimal. The mic does catch an occasional flash of Buzz Aldrin’s humor, and one comes away with a greater appreciation of the importance of Mike Collins’ contribution as the handyman minding the store while his buddies got to hop around in that big lunar sandbox.

But all the astronauts still strike me as an interchangeable bunch of square white guys in buzzcuts. An intrusive musical score by Matt Morton pumps up the volume at intervals to emphasize the danger of their undertaking, but there’s no getting around the fact that we know the mission’s outcome.

Verdict: Apollo 11 is not a mesmerizing narrative. It is, however, a revealing glimpse into Middle America 50 years ago, and a welcome revelation of important insider visuals long kept under wraps.

should never let your skin burn. To appraise the vitamin D your body will create during this next month, consider that a glass of fortified milk contains between 50 to 100 international units (IUs) of that vitamin. With that in mind, consider that sunbathing in a swimsuit for 30 minutes lets the average-sized body create: • 50,000 IUs of vitamin D in Caucasian people • 20,000 to 30,000 IUs in people who already have a tan • 8,000 to 10,000 IUs in dark-skinned people Does this mean that it’s safe for darker-skinned people to spend more time in the sunshine? Yes, that’s what it means.

The huge amount of vitamin D the body creates in such a short time implies that it’s a very desirable substance, since nature doesn’t seem to do anything for no reason. Nor is the human method ubiquitous. Dog and cat bodies use UV-B like we do, but their skin plays no role in the process. Instead, oils in their fur are what convert it to the vitamin.

When they clean or groom themselves, they invariably swallow some. It’s a major reason nature programmed our pets to lick themselves so much. Studies show that pets with higher vitamin D blood levels have fewer cancers and better heart health.

TASTE

From Down Under to Up Here Breakfast’s special at Midtown Kingston’s Village Coffee and G oods

T

en months after Mark Palmer and Anthea White opened t h e doors to Village Coffee and Goods in Kingston, Midtowners and commuters from other neighborhoods are frequenting the specialty coffeeshop on Railroad Avenue in numbers. Sometimes the order line reaches the door and it’s hard to find a spot to sit. That shouldn’t dissuade die-

hard coffee consumers; if anything, it’s a sign of somebody doing something right, and thus is worth the wait for an expertly made pourover or flat white.

By May of last year, the couple had relocated to Kingston f r o m S y d n e y, Australia by way of Brooklyn.

Like so many youngish parents, Palmer and White wanted that less-expensive, better quality of life for their little family. Landing in Midtown, where a resurgence in the arts and food culture is taking place, they saw the opportunity to provide wholesome, innovative breakfast and lunch fare, along with specialty drinks and basic pantry provisions to take home, including farm-

In this neighborhood, you couldn’t just walk to get a really great coffee or some food, so we thought, “Let’s do it ourselves!”

fresh eggs, local cheeses, bulk cleaners and whatnot.

The menu, crafted using products from conscientious producers near and far, includes egg sandwiches with clever names, bowls of granola or chia pudding, frittatas and toast; where else in town can you find Vegemite on your locally baked artisan bread? And since opening, an expanded bakery workspace is cranking out even more muffins and pastries and treats.

This is tucked away in the back room, called Little Village, where a grand piano dominates and people can congregate for live music or lunch with friends. The coffee is brought in from Toby’s Estate Coffee, a Brooklyn-based, small-batch specialty coffee roaster that sources beans

from single-owner coffee farms around the world. In fact, Palmer worked at Toby’s Estate Coffee for several years. His two decades as a barista included a two-year stint with chef Jody Williams at Buvette in the West Village of New York City as well.

How did you end up in Kingston? What was your business plan?

Anthea White: Do you mean the location or in general? It was all very spontaneous. We were looking to move out of the City when we had our son.

It was quite expensive; we couldn’t afford anything there. In this neighborhood, you couldn’t just walk to get a really great coffee or some food, so we thought, “Let’s do it ourselves!” We had no idea how it would be received.

The business plan was based on statistics, but nothing solid. There’s not a lot of through traffic here; it was a risk.

Mark Palmer: Traveling around the world, we always seek out a place; doesn’t matter where it is. It becomes a destination. So that’s why we didn’t care that it had to be Uptown or the Rondout or a main traffic area.

BOOK

WRITER/ARBORIST WILLIAM BRYANT LOGAN TO READ FROM SPROUT LANDS IN RHINEBECK

N

aturalists who can effortlessly combine sound science with sparkling prose are rare indeed, and worth celebrating. Among those living among us today is William Bryant Logan, a certified arborist, New York Botanical Garden faculty member and regular garden writer for The New York Times and other publications. Not only has his writing about trees and other natural wonders won a slew of awards, but he’s also a prominent translator of classic Spanish literature, including works by Pedro Calderón de la Barca, Federico García Lorca and Ramón del Valle-Inclán. His 1995 book Dirt: The Ecstatic Skin of the Earth was made into the documentary film Dirt! The Movie in 2009. Other beloved tomes by this writer/scientist include Oak: The Frame of Civilization and Air: The Restless Shaper of the World.

Logan comes to Oblong Books in Rhinebeck on Thursday, March 28 to talk about his latest volume, Sprout Lands: Tending the Endless Gift of Trees. The book offers both practical knowledge about how to live with trees to mutual benefit and hope that humans may again learn what the persistence and generosity of trees can teach. Once, farmers knew how to make a living hedge and fed their flocks on treebranch hay. Rural people knew how to prune hazel to foster abundance: both of edible nuts and of straight, strong, flexible rods for bridges, walls and baskets. Townspeople cut their beeches to make charcoal to fuel ironworks. Shipwrights shaped oaks to make hulls. No place could prosper without its inhabitants knowing how to cut their trees so they would sprout again.

Pruning the trees didn’t destroy them; rather, it created the healthiest, most sustainable and most diverse woodlands that we have ever known.

Discover the mysteries of pollarding, coppicing and other fascinating, millennia-old symbiotic traditions of woodland management from 6 to 7:30 p.m. on March 28 at Oblong Books & Music, located at 6422 Montgomery Street (Route 9) in Rhinebeck. Admission is free. To learn more about Logan’s work, visit www.williambryantlogan.com.

It’s a communal space, a meeting place for people. If you work from home and don’t have a workspace/office, you can come here.

MP: We have the background of being struggling musicians. When you don’t have the support of record labels and you’re forced to put out your own work, have to figure it out and strategize.

AW: You have to be savvy. Also, being up here allows for this. There’s no way we could do this in the City: too much risk.

And you’re running a business now.

AW: Yeah!

The bright space is appointed with intriguing artwork on the walls and rough-cut wood counters and furnishings.

Palmer and White scored on a couple of spalted maples and did the finish work themselves. A plan to put seating out front awaits good weather, and perhaps a nice garden: perfect for the summertime, when it finally comes.

Space is limited, so get your tickets now ($28 per person).

MP: We’ve played a lot of events; we did one of Midtown Arts District’s events, the Midtown Block Party, O+ and the Made in Kingston Market. That was fun. A lot of Kingston events involve music.

AW: We’re both musicians; we make art through music. We make jazz-inspired soul, and we play in other bands – not that we do that much anymore.

BOOKS RED Hotel reading at TSL

Saturdays watching television,” Grossman recalls. “A lot of kids in the ’50s and ’60s watched Saturday-morning TV, but I did it there at the store in Hudson. And I can’t help but think there’s a connection there as to why I ended up writing a nonfiction book years later on the history of children’s television.” (He also wrote another book on the topic, Superman: Serial to Cereal.)

Grossman’s stories about growing up in Hudson paint a picture of idyllic smalltown life: a place where he could walk or bicycle everywhere and it was exciting just to go downtown. But the larger world outside began opening up for him even as a young boy, when he began tuning in stations from all over the world on a shortwave radio his parents had received as a wedding gift years earlier.

“At night, I would tune in Radio Moscow, or broadcasting from the Vatican, or the

Hudson native Gary Grossman to bring his new spy thriller to his old stomping ground

H

udson native Gary Grossman is an Emmy Award-winning television producer and author of the bestselling “Executive Series” political thrillers. He has also written two highly regarded nonfiction books on television history. Grossman has worked for NBC News, been a columnist for the Boston Herald American, written for the Boston Globe and The New York Times and produced more than 10,000 television programs for 40 networks. But it’s the first two words in this paragraph that define for him the source of all his career accomplishments.

“Hudson is woven into the entire fabric of my life,” he says. “Everything I’ve done is interconnected, and it all comes right back to growing up in Hudson. Whether it’s what I write about television or international politics, it all came together for me there.”

Grossman lives in the Los Angeles area these days, but will return to his hometown on Sunday, March 31 to do an author talk and book-signing for his latest political thriller, RED Hotel (Beaufort Books, 2019), co-authored by Ed Fuller (more about him in a bit). The event will be held at 4 p.m. at Time & Space Limited, the community arts center at 434 Columbia Street in Hudson. The building was once home to Grossman’s Bakery, established in the 1920s by Gary’s grandfather, Adolph Grossman, and great-uncle, Jacob. The family name is still emblazoned (in cobaltblue glass) on the Columbia Street side of the structure they built.

In addition to discussing his new novel, Grossman will reminisce about his life growing up in Hudson and how that experience shaped him. Admission is free and open to all. Copies of RED Hotel will be available at the TSL Book Space reading.

Time & Space Limited (TSL) was founded as an arts center in New York City in the early ’70s. Rising costs, among other things, prompted founder Linda Mussman and co-director Claudia Bruce to move the organization to Hudson, where, over the course of the past two decades, the pair have renovated the former Grossman’s Bakery into a unique home for art exhibitions, movie screenings, original theater, youth programs and live broadcasts of cultural events.

Grossman first encountered TSL on a visit home to Hudson with his mother in the mid-’90s. “We were driving by the bakery, which had been closed for at least 40 years, and saw the door was open. So I said, ‘Look, I’ve got to go check it out.’

She was protective, worried that maybe somebody broke in, but there were posters on the front door, so I parked in the lot and walked in. These two wonderful women, Claudia and Linda, were inside, sitting at a desk surrounded by flyers, and

I saw there was something going on there artistically. I asked them to explain what they were doing, and they said, ‘Yes, we can, but why are you asking?’ So I said, ‘Because my name is on the building!’”

The directors of the fledgling arts center asked Grossman to tell them more about the history of the structure. For one thing, they were puzzled about the reason for some large cement slabs on the floor.

“Without even thinking, I said, ‘Well, the bakery ovens were on the cement and the workers stood on the wood floor surrounding the slabs.’ My mom, who by then had come inside, said, ‘How do you know that? That’s absolutely right.’ It must have been a memory that I haven’t thought about since I was four or five, and never thought about again.”

In touring the building, Grossman and his mom – with her own connections to the arts, having helped Olana many years back – were shown a large and colorful welded sculpture in the form of an accordion. “At the very end of our tour, here is this fabulous piece put together in a wonderful way. And I felt, ‘This is really meant to be,’ because my sister, who had died many years earlier, had played the accordion. So I felt an absolute wonderful connection to the space.”

The exact date when the structure was built is unclear, but it was likely in the mid-1920s. Adolph and Jacob Grossman were Hungarian refugees who came over in the late 1890s, as did another brother, Rudolph, who established a shoe store on

Warren Street in Hudson.

The bakery closed in the mid-1950s when Grossman was still a young child.

His personal memories of the place are those of a little kid, remembering how he loved to eat the frosting off the tops of cupcakes and leave the bottoms, driving his dad, who worked there, to distraction.

His father had dreamed of taking the bakery into the frozen food business, even enlisting an acquaintance who knew about marketing, but it wasn’t to be.

Grossman’s uncle, who had a stake in the business, wasn’t interested in frozen foods, and the acquaintance ended up moving to California and working for Disney, marketing Davy Crockett coonskin caps and Mickey Mouse ears. “So I just have to think my dad was absolutely on the right course of where they should go, and he had the right guy. But my uncle wasn’t into it, so the bakery closed.”

Grossman’s parents then opened an appliance store on Park Place, near Seventh Street Park. The building now houses a Chinese restaurant. “I would go down and sit in the store window on

BBC. I listened to broadcasts from China, and from Cuba after Castro came in. So I was very much aware of the world and what was going on. I remember listening on shortwave radio to Sputnik, the first Russian satellite in 1957 – listening to the beep, beep, beep as it went overhead in the Eastern sky.”

Along with fellow Cub Scout and friend Bruce Coons – who these days, as a former Army intelligence officer and munitions expert, serves as technical consultant for Grossman’s political thrillers – he became a ham radio operator. “So then we were able to communicate with people all over the country and all over the world, using Morse code.”

As a young teen, Grossman would practice being a radio deejay in his bedroom, playing records and talking over them.

In his freshman year of high school, he wrote a letter to the local radio station, WHUC, informing them that he and all his friends only listened to the stations coming out of New York and Boston because the Hudson radio station didn’t play anything worth listening to.

“The general manager was either very sober that day when he read my letter, or just the opposite, because he called me up on the phone and said, ‘This is a great idea. We’ll have you start as a deejay next Monday.’” Grossman bicycled over to the station after school for the next three-anda-half years to do a show called Teen Time for Columbia and Greene Counties and became a fill-in announcer at the station.

“And that launched my career,” says Grossman. “It really did.” In college he

In addition to discussing his new novel, Grossman will reminisce about his life growing up in Hudson and how that experience shaped him.

Members of his staff have been kidnapped on two continents, and he’s negotiated with cartels to get people back. And that was just what I heard in the first 30 seconds!”

They all began making positive impacts on the world while they were still kids!

Aileen Weintraub tells the inspiring stories of these and other early achievers in Never Too Young! 50 Unstoppable Kids Who Made a Difference (September 2018, Sterling Publishing). The book became a best-seller when it debuted on Amazon, and won a Parents’ Choice Award.

Weintraub will give a book-signing and reading for Never Too Young! at 11 a.m. on Saturday, March 30 at the Kingston Barnes and Noble store, located at 1177 Ulster Avenue (Route 9W).

began working at WBZ-TV in Boston, operating cameras, lights and working the master controls. That led to producing local documentaries and other programs, followed by a stint as a college teacher and newspaper columnist before moving to California to work in television production.

Grossman gets back to Hudson now about every year-and-a-half, he says. “It always grounds me. I get recharged.” The purpose of the trips is often to attend high school reunions, he adds, “because it’s not just a high school reunion, but a ‘life’ reunion. We all went to school together from kindergarten through high school.”

The author has not only remained close to his high school friends – even celebrating each other’s birthdays to this day – but their names are known to pop up in the pages of Grossman’s political thrillers. “I write with my yearbook open. I never make any of my friends an assassin; they’re not bad guys and they don’t tend to get bumped off. But they’re other characters: reporters, former CIA people and members of the cabinet. It’s so much fun to do that.”

Grossman’s “Executive Series” of novels, which includes Executive Actions (2004), Executive Treason (2005), Executive Command (2012) and Executive Force (2018), are standalone political thrillers chronicling the doings of fictional Secret Service agent Scott Roarke. Writing RED Hotel with Ed Fuller is Grossman’s first time writing with a co-author.

“I had always worked alone and had no intention of working with anyone else,” he says. “But by coincidence one night, I was walking my dogs in LA and I bumped into a friend in the neighborhood. He told me a friend of his was interested in having someone co-author a book with him, to help take his stories and turn them into

a thriller. He told me what Ed did: that he was the former president of Marriott International and ran all their hotels around the world. So I said to my friend, ‘What do I have in common with a guy who is the former president of Marriott?

You know what I do.’ But my friend, Bruce Feirstein, wrote the first three James Bond

movies with Pierce Brosnan, and when he said this guy was very interesting, I decided to meet him. And it took me all of 30 seconds to realize Ed was as much in the anti-terrorism business as the hotel business.”

After Ritz-Carlton and Marriott hotels were bombed in Jakarta, Indonesia in July

executive and former Army captain.

Fuller is “the real deal,” says Grossman.

“He developed the multicolor code threat assessment system described in RED Hotel, but he did it for real. And what I realize now, happily, is that people who do have some of these major international jobs, and deal with our travel and our lives, have deep connections in intelligence organizations or other foreign intelligence services. They need to.”

The plot of RED Hotel involves a Putinlike Russian president “hell-bent on reclaiming the former Soviet satellite nations,” says Grossman. “And if you look at what is happening in the world today, the book is very real. The book is fiction, but it’s fiction on the edge of reality.”

The co-authors are about three-quarters of the way through a sequel now, he adds.

“Every time we get together, I get more stories; it’s so interesting to hear them from the source. We come up with the plot together and I write, then Ed and I rewrite and retool. It’s a fabulous, positive working relationship and I can’t imagine any writing partnership going easier. I would like to see this become another series, and maybe a movie.”

ART The eyes of Carrie Haddad Pioneering gallerist looks back at Hudson’s remarkable renaissance

I

n the mid-Hudson Valley, many galleries have come and gone, despite the abundance of both artists and curatorial talent. The Carrie Haddad Gallery, occupying two floors and 3,000 square feet of a building on Hudson’s Warren Street, is the exception. The eponymous owner, who at-

The Carrie Haddad Gallery at 622 Warren Street in Hudson

Carrie Haddad

tended Bard College and served on the boards of the Columbia County Council of the Arts, Hudson Development Corporation and Hudson Common Council, has been involved in the city since the 1990s. She opened her gallery in 1991, when Warren Street was practically vacant, its industries mostly moribund.

Twenty-seven years later, Hudson has been transformed. Not missing a beat, Carrie Haddad has kept pace – or rather, led the way – with seven exhibitions a year on its main floor and a rotating selection of photography displayed on the second floor. The gallery also does art consulting, in which its staff collaborates with design professionals and architects across the country. Almanac Weekly’s Lynn Woods interviewed Carrie Haddad last week in her gallery about her business and 27 years of changes, many of which she made happen.

Where are you from originally, and how did you end up in Hudson?

I am from San Francisco, and I went to New York City when I was 20 years old to be a famous dancer. I got a scholarship at Alvin Ailey and Martha Graham, and I did a lot of dancing and acting and tried to get modeling jobs. I met Nick Haddad, who grew up in Red Hook, when I was in my 30s. After we got married and had two kids, we decided we wanted to move upstate. We lived in Clermont on 9G and Nick worked at his family’s business, Red Hook Electrical Supply. I helped him open Hudson Electrical Supply and that’s what brought us to the city. I instantly fell in love with Hudson and its architecture but was struck by how empty the main street was. There were so many boardedup storefronts.

Had you ever run a gallery before?

No, but I had a clothing store in a big loft in SoHo called Cash and Carrie. It was rough, and there were artists everywhere.

What led to you opening the gallery?

In the early 1990s, I purchased a building I knew I’d want to have for money later, to pay for my kids’ college.

After the tenant left, my artist friend Howard Crouch suggested that I use the space to open an art gallery. I didn't know anything about running a gallery!

The building was at 316 Warren, and as soon as we opened, we sold things. The antique dealers were already here. It was their third or fourth year, and there were only a couple. They were like incubators: Five or six dealers would be sharing the space, and as they gained more confidence and sold more, they bought their own buildings and spread out.

You did the same.

Yes, I thought I needed a bigger space, so I bought this building. It was listed for $35,000, but I complained about the cracks in a wall and got it for $30,000.

There was an apartment on the top floor, which I rented out to an artist as his studio.

The building had been a pharmacy and housed a business called Action TV Rental before being abandoned. On the second floor were all these old prescription books.

I gave them all to the artist Joy Taylor, and she used them to build an installation titled "Years of Pain."

I liked renovating, and the prices were so low my husband and I bought a couple of buildings. My kids helped. Eventually a lot of people bought buildings, and at one time there were 70 antique dealers and art galleries.

Arts Walk, and it was a success. There were artists’ studios going up and down Warren. I had great help from Perry Cooney. He and his wife had opened the Red Dot, which was a hub for newcomers and sometimes had live music. There were a lot of really good bars back then.

Fo r e v e r y building that was empty, I would call the owners and ask if they could give me a key and make sure one lightbulb was working. The first Arts Walk, in 1993, was pretty outrageous. So many people came to town it was great, and there were lots of artists – from outside of Hudson also. It wasn’t just on Warren Street. There was a woman who owned a building that had been

Twenty-five years later, Hudson has been transformed. Not missing a beat, Carrie Haddad has kept pace – or rather, led the way.

You also ran the Arts Walk in Hudson for 10 years. How did it start?

I tried to help Hudson by having the

artwork in the store windows here. That meant, of course, families would have to come here. I remember one woman said afterward no one had broken into her car, and “This nice young black man helped me carry my bags.”

What did Hudson do to draw so many outsiders?

The Amtrak train station worked in our favor, as did the undying efforts of the antique dealers, and we had lots of art galleries. And the architecture is so beautiful. It’s quite unique. The whalers from Nantucket started it, because there was a lot of pirating on the open seas, and that was before we were a nation.

Then there were so many manufacturing plants and jobs. They made more matches here than anywhere else on the planet, EVENTS@COGREENE

enny Nelson’s gestural abstract paintings are the star attraction of the Carrie Haddad Gallery’s current show of work by five contemporary artists. They offer a refreshing jolt of gorgeous color to winter-starved eyes in the front room of the Hudson-based gallery. Nelson, who lives in Woodstock and studied at Bard College, has long attracted a following for her loosely-applied-but-tightly-structured compositions, in which cool blues and greens often predominate, floating in a light neutral ground. The new work exchanges calming lyricism for a more muscular approach, with swirling dark lines, daubs and larger, more emphatic areas of rich grays, greens and blues accented by touches of pink and burnt sienna, suggesting a complex layering of space.

Nelson attributed the paintings’ “more fully developed mark-making,” as she described it, in part to her practice of drawing from a model. “I do quick sketches and these marks find their way into my paintings, so there’s more variation and more structure,” she said, noting that the practice is related to the class she teaches at the Woodstock School of Art, in which “I’m teaching students about the importance of looking and taking lines from life.”

She said that the gallery’s curation of her work, in which “They paired things up together that I would not have,” resulted in some delightful surprises: two paintings “having a conversation I hadn’t recognized before, with so many things in common and relationships.” The works, which were all done in the past year, also have led her in new directions, namely gestural works on paper in a neutral palette based on working from the figure, and “little sculptural wall pieces” of wood, in which the shapes she uses in her painting take on three dimensions.

Stay tuned.

The other four artists in the show, which is up through April 21, are Andrea Moreau, a Beacon-based artist who makes wonderfully imaginative and beautifully executed drawings in color pencil in which a postage stamp serves as the starting point for a figurative composition, abstracted, patterned motif or expansive landscape; Poughkeepsie-based Donise English, whose encaustic floating grids in pale neutrals and elliptical forms inject a playful, disparate energy into an imagery of maps, blueprints and architectural drawings; Laura Von Rosk, whose small, dark, richly colored imaginary landscapes, influenced

by Flemish art and Indian illuminated manuscripts, have a dreamlike intensity, which in some pieces verges on ecological nightmare; Nancy Rutter, whose atmospheric winter landscapes are portrayed in shimmering grays, silvers and blues; and, upstairs in the photography gallery, Birgit Blyth, whose cameraless photographic technique – referred to as “chromoskedasic paintings” – is used to create abstracted images of fluid, vividly contrasting forms, arranged in grids or in swooping or threadlike configurations that seem to conflate nano-scale with the cosmological.

The Carrie Haddad Gallery is located at 622 Warren Street in Hudson and is open daily from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. For information, call (518) 828-1915 or e-mail info@carriehaddadgallery.com.

a pocketbook factory, and I called her asking if we could use the space.

One other event I organized before that was a Community Day, in which we blocked off one entire block and had jugglers, chess games and other activities to build the community and make people realize it’s safe here. So many stores got rented after that. We raised a lot of money.

There were three billboards as you came into Hudson from 9G, and I called the billboard company. I flipped the paper around and had it read “Welcome” on the first billboard, “To Hudson” on the

second and “The Friendly City” on the third, which used to be the logo in the 1960s.

Back then, were people afraid of going to downtown Hudson?

This was the only town in the county that had any African American people.

There was a fear of the unknown in a predominantly white county. When we started the Arts Walk, we got kindergarten classes and first- and third-graders in Chatham and Kinderhook and other towns in Columbia County to put their

Frost Valley YMCA Free Maple Sugaring Open Houses

Have you ever wondered how maple syrup is made? Frost Valley YMCA announces Open Houses for individuals and families to tour its maple sugaring operation and learn all about how pure maple syrup is made. Maple Sugaring Open Houses will take place from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. on March 23rd, 24th, 30th, and 31st.

Families are encouraged to visit Frost Valley’s Maple Sugar House, which sits one mile east of the main entrance during one of the Open Houses. The main entrance, marked by prominent signage, is located at 2000 Frost Valley Road in Claryville.

Learn how to identify a sugar maple tree, how sap is collected, and how that sap is turned into maple syrup.

Frost Valley first began maple sugaring in 1978 using buckets to collect the sap from sugar maple trees. At that time, only a few hundred buckets were used. Today, Frost Valley uses tubing and a vacuum pump system to collect the sap and large tanks for storage.

Advance registration is not required unless individuals plan to stay for the weekend. For more information, contact the Natural Resource Department at 845-985-2291 ext. 217.

How has gentrification affected the city?

Thank god people became interested in Hudson and took advantage of the low prices. They restored a lot of the old homes. The gentrification saved Hudson because while there was a community here, there were a lot of empty buildings on the main street. The restoration has attracted a lot more tourism and diversified businesses. We still have thrift shops, but there are also a lot of boutiques and upscale dining options.

Are there resources for the local kids?

Is that a problem?

I think it’s reaching a tipping point. But people have to make their place an Airbnb because otherwise they can’t afford the taxes. Now they’re paying a lodging tax of four percent.

It’s changing the feel of some of the neighborhoods, where they are no longer occupied by the owner and are just a business with people going in and out. But it is enabling people to make a living, and it brings more people to the restaurants and art galleries. The bars and thrift stores are doing really well.

the community? A criticism of having a lot of second-home owners is they don’t vote in the community and don’t want to be involved.

People are more involved in the government than before. We made a real effort to stop people from voting in Manhattan, and a lot of the second-home owners vote here now because their vote makes a difference. Others, when the prices went up, sold their houses and split.

Are millennials moving to Hudson?

Definitely, younger people are moving in.

Do you still live in Hudson?

I don’t live in town anymore. I live in Claverack, which is quiet and five minutes away. I do sometimes miss my little apartment upstairs. It was fun to be right in town.

How is your gallery doing?

We make more money every year. I have two full-time employees and one parttime person, and we’re open every day, which makes a difference. We’re an allservice gallery, and we are really good: We ship to you, send you pictures, and you can send us a picture of your living room with how wide the wall is. We represent about 60 artists, including photographers, most of whom are in the Hudson Valley; and we’ve been showing for a very long time.

We also work a lot on the internet. A little under half of our sales come from the web.

We’re a rather conservative gallery, but we also show some really weird stuff, such as an enormous hanging blouse sewn out of sailcloth. We really are committed to showing Hudson Valley artists, and I love to do things that will jar people a little bit. ++ – Lynn Woods

PRAYER TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN. (Never known to fail.) Oh, most beautiful flower of Mt. Carmel, fruitful vine splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son of God. Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity. Oh, Star of the Sea, help me and show me herein you are my mother. Oh, Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth! I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in this necessity. There are none that can withstand your power. Oh, show me herein you are my mother. Oh Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee (3x).

Holy Mother, I place this cause in your hands (3x). Holy Spirit, you who solve all problems, light all roads so that I can attain my goal. You who gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me and that in all instances in my life you are with me, I want in this short prayer to thank-you for all things as you confirm once again that I never want to be separated from you in eternal glory. Thank-you for your mercy towards me and mine. The person must say this prayer 3 consecutive days, the request will be granted. This prayer must be published after the favor is granted.
