MUSIC Skatalites to perform at BSP in Kingston on Friday BSP in Kingston will present the legendary Jamaican band the Skatalites on Friday, April 5. In existence since the early 1960s, the Skatalites scored numerous hits under their own name and served as house band for many of the biggest names during the first heyday of ska and reggae. The band reformed in the early ’80s and has been roadworthy in some fashion ever since. Though several founding members have died, recent touring lineups have featured at least two direct links to the original lineup in vocalist Doreen Shaffer and alto saxophonist Lester “Ska” Sterling. Tickets cost $20 in advance, $25 on the day of the show.

B

ardavon presents global pop star and three-time Grammy winner Angélique Kidjo performing the classic Talking Heads record Remain in Light on Thursday, April 11 at the Ulster Performing Arts Center in Kingston.

Kidjo first crossed paths with the original album when she fled Benin and moved to Paris in 1983. She recognized it as African, but the rhythms were harder for her to place. Flash forward to 2018 and her reimagining of the record, done in collaboration with the acclaimed producer Jeff Bhasker, was released on Kravenworks Records. In 2017, Kidjo premiered this musical project at New York’s Carnegie Hall and at Bonnaroo (David Byrne came out of the audience to sing with her during the Carnegie Hall show). Tickets cost $46 to $66 based on location, with a $5 discount for Bardavon members.

Lan provides a lyric sheet to everyone and teaches an original arrangement of a well-known pop, folk, rock or traditional song. By the end of the afternoon the groups have mastered the song in three-part harmonies. “Everyone has a lot of fun singing, laughing and connecting with their community. No experience is necessary,” said Lan. Admission costs $10 at the door, but no one will be turned away due to lack of funds.

“Pops & Piano” honors Louis Armstrong at Woodstock Playhouse The Catskill Jazz Factory seems to be a venue-agnostic organization driven to bring jazz sounds to all the coolest rooms in the region. As a curator of America’s serious music, the mountain-based jazz advocate and promoter is hardly preservationist in character, and typically programs challenging contemporary jazz in favor of the reverently traditional. But the Jazz Factory embraces the whole of the tradition, and old and new combine on Sunday, April 7 when the Catskill Jazz Factory and the Woodstock Playhouse join forces to present “Pops & Piano,” a tribute to Louis Armstrong by trumpeter Alphonso Horne and pianist Chris Pattishall.

Horne and Pattishall reanimate Armstrong’s legacy from a unique perspective: the pianists who performed with and influenced the legendary trumpeter. From his second wife Lil Hardin to Earl “Fatha” Hines, Jelly Roll Morton, Fats Waller, Duke Ellington, Clarence Williams and Dave Brubeck, this program presents a broad range of Armstrong’s career through the lens of these relationships. Both Pattishall and the two-time Grammy nominee have been lavishly endorsed by Wynton Marsalis, with whom both have performed. Ticket prices range from $25 to $35.

S. Bach’s final work, on Saturday, April 13 at the Bardavon. Composed at various times throughout his prolific career and finished in 1749, the year before his death, the great Mass is a complete musical setting of the Latin Mass: a surprising move by the Lutheran German composer.

ART

PHOTOGRAPHS BY RIVKA SHIFMAN KATVAN

A reception for “Rivka Shifman Katvan: Photographs of Cus D’Amato’s Boxing Gym” will be held on Saturday, April 6 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Atelier Progressif Creative Art Space at 75 Bridge Street in Catskill.

Visual punch Rivka Shifman Katvan’s “Photographs of Cus D’Amato’s Boxing Gym” opens in Catskill

W

hen photographer Rivka Shifman Katvan first encountered Cus D’Amato’s KO Boxing Gym, on the third floor of an old brick building in the Village of Catskill, she was captivated.

“The place itself is amazing,” she says. “I think it used to be a courthouse, and the contrast between the ornate interior of the old building and what goes on in there now – a boxing gym in action – I found beautiful.”

But it was the closeness of the people inside the gym that really impressed her. “When they have a boxing match, it’s a neighborhood thing: a small village of people coming together to watch, and everybody knows everybody. So there is no way you cannot catch a moment in a place like this. And I enjoy photographing people doing what they love to do.”

Constantine “Cus” D’Amato (19081985) was a boxing trainer and manager

who shaped the careers of Mike Tyson, Floyd Patterson and José Torres. He was a proponent of the “peekaboo” style of boxing, in which the fighter holds his gloves close to his cheeks and pulls his arms tight against his torso. D’Amato opened the boxing gym in Catskill in the ’70s.

The photographs Katvan captured there ten years ago will be on view this month in “Rivka Shifman Katvan: Photographs of Cus D’Amato’s Boxing Gym” at the Atelier Progressif Creative Art Space at 75 Bridge Street in Catskill. An opening reception will be held on Saturday, April 6 from 6 to 8 p.m. The exhibit remains on view through Saturday, April 27.

Katvan discovered the gym while working on a photography project documenting the lives of Catskill residents. She and her husband, commercial photographer Moshe Katvan, divide their time between their home in New York City and their place on the border of Catskill and Saugerties. They

“When they have a boxing match, it’s a neighborhood thing: a small village of people coming together to watch, and everybody knows everybody.”

often collaborate on work, each currently contributing to their series of photographs of artists. They first came up to the area as students at the School of Visual Arts, when one of their teachers invited them up to stay at her cabin. Not long afterward, the couple found a small place of their own in the area, and they have been part-time residents here since.

When asked which of her photo series is most representative of her entire body of

work, Katvan names the boxing gym photos, along with her Broadway series (more on that in a bit) and a series she did on the residents of East 23rd Street, who invited her into their walk-up apartments as she went door-to-door asking to photograph them.

Her photos have impact because of the intimacy she elicits, even when she’s shooting something as monumental as the Brooklyn Bridge, shrouded in fog. Viewers

feel drawn in, as if there’s no barrier of a photographer between themselves and what’s depicted in the image.

Katvan accomplishes this by being “a fly on the wall,” she says. “I don’t want the people I photograph to really pay attention to me. I go into places and make myself

“I don’t want the people I photograph to really pay attention to me.

I go into places and make myself ‘not-noticeable.’” ‘not-noticeable.’ I just walk around and stay on the side until I see moments and it’s there to capture.”

As one can imagine, this requires being in a place long enough to make people comfortable. And that can take a while.

“But that’s the idea: You have to make them feel very comfortable with you – that they don’t mind you being there. You just stick around until they say you can stay; you can do whatever you want. And that’s when you catch the moment.”

Sometimes you see it right away, she says, but most of the time it’s a slow process. “You wait for the moment and shoot. And I don’t use flash in my work, because I feel that flash puts something between me and the subject. If it’s very dark, I use handheld to get the moment; but flash takes away the environment, washes it out.” Katvan also does not digitally enhance anything.

Her best-known photographs were taken backstage at Broadway shows and the Tony Awards. Her book Broadway behind the Curtain (Abrams, 2001) catalogues some of this work, and a number of the images may be seen on her website at www. rivkakatvan.com. The photographs are

ALMANAC WEEKLY

visually striking – not at all the usual celebrity promotional pictures. These are beautiful, fine-art images capturing familiar faces in private moments. In Rivka Shifman Katvan one particularly poignant image, Carol Burnett and Julie Andrews sit quietly side-by-side backstage at the Tony Awards in 1999, seemingly lost in their own thoughts, their images captured reflected in two mirrors as they

have last-minute touches done to their hair by a stylist.

Katvan, who is a native of Israel, began taking backstage photographs in 1978 as her degree thesis for the School for Visual Arts. When she was invited backstage by an actress friend appearing in The Magic Show at the Cort Theatre, she was struck by the contrast between the illusions created onstage and the backstage reality.

“It was unbelievable. And when I went to my darkroom afterward and saw what I had, I said, ‘This is amazing.’ I went back to show them, and they loved the photos; they

5 asked me, ‘When are you coming again?’”

Those actors introduced Katvan to others, and soon she had access to major celebrities in places that are usually off-limits. The trust the actors placed in her is visible in the evocative photographs she captured of Broadway stars that include Alan Cumming backstage at Cabaret and Elizabeth Taylor preparing for The Little Foxes.

Perhaps the freedom her subjects grant her comes from knowing she will respect their privacy. “I capture moments in people’s lives, but I wouldn’t show something provocative. I would never insult people or make them uncomfortable. What happens is something between me and them; I show moments, but I don’t take it too far.”

A longtime supporter of the not-forprofit Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS organization, Katvan has donated many photographs to it over the years to help fund its work. (Her modesty prevents allowing the dollar amount her work raised to be published, but it’s substantial.) She also donates photographs for fundraising to other organizations whose missions she supports.

Katvan’s work is regularly exhibited in New York City at Gallery 138 and is in the permanent collections of the International Center of Photography, the Museum of the City of New York, the Museum of Television and Radio and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. She has been featured in numerous publications and online media outlets, including Harper’s Bazaar and The New York Times. In 2011, Katvan participated in the State Department’s Art in Embassies program, which places artists’ works in consulates and embassies around the world in an effort to demonstrate art’s ability to bring people together and transcend borders.

Smith uses her singular brand of theater to explore issues of community, character and diversity in America. The MacArthur Foundation honored Smith with the “Genius” Fellowship for creating “a new form of theater: a blend of theatrical art, social commentary, journalism and intimate reverie.”

Smith has been interviewing and listening to people across the country from all walks of life for decades, using Walt Whitman’s call “to absorb America” as an inspiration. In service of her goal of bringing “people across the chasms” of what she calls the “complex identities of America,” Smith performs portrayals of the people she has interviewed, recreating a diversity of emotions and points of view

SUNY-New Paltz stages all-female 12 Angry Men this Sunday

B

ack in 1954, when Reginald Rose wrote the classic courtroom drama 12 Angry Men, the title was meant to be taken literally: Women were not allowed to serve on juries in many US states. When the play is performed nowadays, it’s usually presented with a mixed-gender cast. But from April 5 to 8 this year, schools, community centers, universities and regional theaters all across America are going to be staging all-female performances of the play with the aim of increasing voter registration and empowering women as participants in local, state and national politics.

In our region, the Department of Theatre Arts at SUNY-New Paltz is getting on board the national “12,000 Voices” movement with a single performance of 12 Angry Men at 3 p.m. on Sunday, April 7 in the Studley Theatre, located in the Old Main Building on campus. Under the direction of faculty adjunct Sandie Luna, the cast will include Sandy Christian, retired psychotherapist and wife of college president Donald Christian, as well as four Theatre Arts faculty members, seven current students and two alumnae.

Following the reading, volunteers from local and national organizations will be on hand to work with attendees to file or update voter registrations, and to facilitate conversations about increasing voter turnout and supporting women’s direct participation in the political process. Admission is free and all are invited.

All-female cast performs 12 Angry Men, Sunday, Apr. 7, 3 p.m., Free, Julien J. Studley Theatre, Old Main Building, SUNY-New Paltz. For information about the nationwide 12,000 Voices campaign, visit https://12000voices.com.

on controversial issues.

Best known for crafting more than 15 one-woman shows, based on hundreds of conversations, Smith turns her interviews into scripts, transforming herself into a multitude of characters. In 2012, she was awarded the National Humanities Medal, presented by President Obama.

In 2015, Smith was named the Jefferson Lecturer, the nation’s highest honor in the humanities. She also is the recipient of the prestigious Dorothy and Lillian Gish Prize, a Guggenheim Fellowship and, most recently, the 2017 Ridenhour Courage Prize and the George Polk Career Award for authentic journalism.

Smith’s Notes from the Field, winner of an Obie Award and the 2017 Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Solo Show, examines the school-to-prison pipeline and injustice and inequality in low-income communities. Time Magazine named it one of the Top 10 Plays of the year. In his New York Times review of Notes from the Field, Ben Brantley called Smith “the American theater’s most dynamic and sophisticated oral historian.” The film adaptation of Notes from the Field aired on HBO in 2018, with executive production

by Gary Goetzman and Smith.

Smith’s breakthrough plays, Fires in the Mirror, a runner-up for the Pulitzer Prize, and the Tony-nominated Twilight: Los Angeles, tackle issues of race and social inequality that have become touchstones of her work. Her portrayals of patients and medical professionals in Let Me Down Easy delivered a vivid look at healthcare in the US. The show aired on PBS’ Great Performances.

She is probably most recognizable in popular culture for her roles as the hospital administrator on Showtime’s Nurse Jackie and the national security advisor on NBC’s The West Wing. Her films include The American President, Rachel Getting Married and Philadelphia.

She appears as Rainbow’s mother Alicia on ABC’s hit series Black-ish and stars in the ABC legal drama For the People.

Smith is the founding director of the Institute on the Arts and Civic Dialogue, launched at Harvard University and now housed at New York University, where she is a professor at Tisch School of the Arts in Performance Studies, and at the NYU School of Law. Her books include Letters to a Young Artist and Talk to Me: Listening between the Lines.

SUNY-Ulster stages Oscar Wilde’s The Selfish Giant The SUNY-Ulster Theater Program presents The Selfish Giant by Oscar Wilde. Using devised movement and puppetry, the student performers will reimagine children’s stories drawn from Wilde’s classic collection The Happy Prince and Other Tales.

This production is directed by Stephen Balantzian, assistant professor and Theatre Program coordinator.

“It’s been a fascinating journey with the cast, creating puppets and developing the world of this story through theater,” Balantzian said. “We’ve spent much of our rehearsal forming ideas and honing in on how best to present it. It’s magical, a little dark and truly a wonderful challenge for us all.”

THE SHAKESPEARE CITATION that inspired Schieffelin’s ill-conceived plan occurs in Henry IV Part I, Act 1, Scene 3: The king forbids Hotspur to mention the name of his hated brother-in-law Mortimer, and Hotspur responds: “Nay, I’ll have a starling shall be taught to speak nothing but ‘Mortimer,’ and give it him, to keep his anger still in motion.”

Like a large school of fish, a murmuration of starlings hangs closely together, forcing the birds to move in waves by their close proximity. In ancient Rome, augurs seeking to divine auspicious prospects for major decisions would study the cascading movements of such murmurations.

A murmuration against starlings How the supposed actions of one NY Shakespeare enthusiast led to an avian invasion

ugene Schieffelin (18271906) was a scion of an old, prosperous and well-connected New York City family, comfortably supported by the drug manufacturing company that his grandfather had founded. He had plenty of time and funds to pursue his interests, which included Shakespeare and ornithology.

Part of his mission in life, allegedly, was to ensure that every species of bird mentioned in the works of the Bard of Avon would be represented in the New World.

He belonged to an organization called the American Acclimatization Society, one of the most benighted groups of would-be citizen scientists ever to blight Planet Earth.

In the 19th century, even among the highly educated, the concept of invasive species hadn’t yet jelled. In fact, the members of the American Acclimatization Society were cultural elitists who believed that introducing non-native animals and plants from places they regarded as more civilized would “improve” wild and wooly North America. Such attitudes never bode well, and the Shakespearean birds project was no exception.

Schieffelin got involved in a campaign

to establish house sparrows in Central Park in the 1850s and ’60s. These birds succeeded in carving out a modest niche in the local ecosystem, though not to the point where they became pests.

Attempts with several other Old World species, including skylarks, bullfinches and chaffinches, failed to take hold.

But in 1890 and ’91, Schieffelin took his enthusiasm too far. Accounts differ as to exactly how many European starlings he released over those two years, ranging from 100 individuals to 80 breeding pairs.

In any case, they were more than enough to constitute, as we can now recognize in retrospect, an act of ecoterrorism-byignorance.

Spreading their territory by about 50 miles each year, Sturnus vulgaris had occupied the entire East Coast by 1920.

The federal Lacey Act, passed by Congress in 1900, made it possible for the Secretary of the Interior to ban the importation of potentially harmful species, and starlings were soon added to the list; but it was already too late. Starlings first crossed the Mississippi around 1928, reached California by 1942, colonized the West Coast by the 1960s and reached the interior of Alaska by 1978. Today, starlings

Starlings are known for their ability to mimic –not only other birdcalls, but also music and human speech.

are on the verge of outnumbering humans in North America.

As with many non-native species, part of the problem was that the same predators that control starling populations in Europe and western Asia did not co-evolve with them over here.

And starlings are adaptable to a broad range of habitat, from seacoast cliffs to farm fields and meadows to urban environments.

They’re aggressive, bullying other birds out of their nesting sites. One study showed half the nests of red-bellied woodpeckers being commandeered by starlings by the end of the breeding season. Competition from starlings has caused the population of some bird species, notably sapsuckers, to fall off.

Though they prefer insects, starlings are omnivorous, and they soon became a threat to grain and fruit harvests, currently estimated as causing upwards of $800 million in crop damage in the US annually.

They have a tendency to flock together in huge numbers, filling the air with raucous chatter; the ground underneath their favored roosting sites can become covered in guano a foot thick, caustic enough to kill the trees. These droppings are also often contaminated with the parasites that cause histoplasmosis and toxoplasmosis.

Ah, but when these unlovely birds take to the air en masse – that can become a thing of mesmerizing beauty.

Like a large school of fish, a murmuration of starlings hangs closely together, forcing the birds to move in waves by their close proximity. In ancient Rome, augurs seeking to divine auspicious prospects for major decisions would study the cascading movements of such murmurations. Watching them is a sport of sorts in Scandinavia and the British Isles, where starling populations are well-established but limited by their ecological niche. In North America, where their spread is unchecked, starling flocks in flight can number in the millions.

Murmurations are an awe-inspiring visual phenomenon that has become ever more common in the Hudson Valley in recent decades.

A pair of Canadian scientists recently established that the wing shape of the species had already evolved to become rounder since its arrival here, making it easier for individual birds to make the tight turns required to move smoothly with the murmuration. They have not, however, adapted to the proximity of jet engines, and airports make primo starling habitat. Reports by airline pilots of collisions are regular occurrences.

In 1960, 62 people were killed when a murmuration of some 10,000 starlings was sucked into the engines of an Eastern Air Lines flight taking off from Boston, plunging the plane into the bay.

Efforts so far to control the starling overpopulation problem in North America have proven fruitless. Washington, DC has tried many approaches to deter the birds from roosting and defecating all over its monumental buildings: balloons, owl and hawk effigies, recordings of starling distress calls, grease, electrified wires, itching powder – all to no avail.

Nevada and California have mounted wide-scale poisoning campaigns, but the poisons persist in the environment, and the birds keep repopulating. During the Great Depression, the US Department of Agriculture even tried to persuade semistarved Americans that starling breasts, “soaked in a soda-salt solution for 12 hours and then parboiled in water, which is afterwards discarded, may be used in a meat pie that compares fairly well with one made of blackbirds or English sparrows.”

While we wait for less-picky native predators to adapt to the opportunities presented by this enormous unexploited food supply, the only thing to do is to try to appreciate starlings’ talents. They have been renowned for their ability to mimic –not only other birdcalls, but also music and human speech – at least as far back as the 11th-century Welsh epic the Mabinogi, in which the heroine Branwen sends a talking starling to her brothers Bran and Manawydan begging them to rescue her

NIGHT SKY

Chemtrails again Part of a losing battle?

I

get daily letters from strangers. Only a few come from our mid-Hudson region. My monthly page in Astronomy magazine and the 400,000 readers of my Old Farmer’s Almanac astronomy stuff generate lots of correspondence. This week, two letters stand out. They are such polar opposites, they created a strange juxtaposition.

One was from an acquaintance who for decades wrote a popular column in Sky & Telescope magazine, which is on the brink of vanishing, since its parent company has just gone bankrupt. He reminded me of another former writer, George Lovi, who knew the sky so well that a planetarium company hired him to study the dome projected by their equipment to assess if any little star might be absent or out of place.

Imagine that kind of knowledge! The letter-writer too knows the sky intimately, and was very aware that I do as well, though not to the astonishing extent of Lovi. “We are the last of our breed,” he wrote to me, “the final buffalo in a disappearing herd.”

The second letter was a ten-page screed displaying frank paranoia. The writer asked if I’m aware of the dangers posed by chemtrails: the spraying of mind-controlling or health-damaging chemicals supposedly perpetrated by the government.

Some quick research uncovered a disconcerting trend. A Public Policy Research survey in 2015 revealed that five percent of the US population was convinced that at least some of the white lines behind high-altitude planes are chemicals deliberately sprayed by the government. The same poll conducted last year now shows that 15 percent of Americans are “certain” that chemtrails are real, while another 20 percent believe it is “somewhat true.” Thus, a third of the population is at least partially convinced of an ongoing, healththreatening government spraying program that does not exist.

There’s very little pushback. One YouTube video by megabunk.org shows decades of books about clouds that consistently explain how water vapor released by jet engines freezes to produce contrails. Every cloud book going back 70 years explains that, depending on temperature and humidity, a contrail may evaporate within a few minutes or instead spread out to form a cloud sheet that can endure for hours. Thus, while chemtrailers insist that real contrails dissipate rapidly, all the lingering, spreading cloud sheets they say are chemical releases are actually a basic variety of normal contrails observed and photographed since World War II. Obviously, any long-term spraying of these supposedly harmful metals would result in ground contamination, whereas countless soil analyses and ongoing water-monitoring

from her cruel husband. The Shakespeare citation that inspired Schieffelin’s illconceived plan occurs in Henry IV Part I, Act 1, Scene 3: The king forbids Hotspur to mention the name of his hated brotherin-law Mortimer, and Hotspur responds: “Nay, I’ll have a starling shall be taught to speak nothing but ‘Mortimer,’ and give it him, to keep his anger still in motion.”

In A Sentimental Journey through France and Italy, 18th-century Irish novelist Laurence Sterne relates overhearing a plaintive child’s voice repeatedly saying “I can’t get out” in a building in Paris. The captive turned out to be a caged starling, which Sterne later liberated from its owner for the price of a bottle of brandy. Wolfgang

Amadeus Mozart kept a pet starling that he alleged could whistle along with his Piano Concerto #17 in G. The composer wrote a fragment of the starling’s song into the piece, and upon its demise, he wrote a poem about the bird and gave it an elaborate funeral.

Props to all those who can perceive the meager charms of Sturnus vulgaris, such as iconic environmentalist author Rachel Carson, who praised the bird’s ravenous appetite for insects. But many of us will

ROGER AHLBRAND

show no such metal increases. Such logic is invariably met with paranoiac rebuttals that all these seemingly normal analyses have been faked.

Those of us who are longtime pilots and friends of career air-transport pilots find the whole idea ludicrous – not just because such a continuous operation could not possibly be performed clandestinely, but because how would you begin to find thousands of air traffic controllers, pilots and other participants willing to poison their own families on the ground below?

And for what purpose? The conspiracy folks cite either government mind control or else climate “geoengineering.” Believers in the conspiracy sometimes cite actual published “evidence” like the HAARP program in which high-altitude chemicals were released for scientific studies.

One citation listed as a “proof” on conspiracy websites was an announcement of a new aerosol measles vaccine. The fearmongers didn’t bother reporting that this aerosol wasn’t designed to be sprayed from planes, but rather administered individually via face masks.

The main takeaway is that we live in a country where a third of its citizens believe in imaginary chemtrails, while 42 percent support a president who is patently unqualified for the office. A country whose citizens keep scoring a D-minus on the National Science Foundation’s annual “Ten basic true/false science questions.”

We have identified less than one millionth of Earth’s estimated microbe species. Our planet’s changing climate demands that the public understand the simple mechanism behind greenhouse gases. We need people to grasp why, if the air’s carbon dioxide concentration has climbed from 280 parts per million to the current 406 PPM, this is a powerful, worrisome development – and fully see that it is unequivocally caused by human fossil fuel emissions.

With a universe screaming to be explored, we need the public to have a baseline grasp of logic and science. But hope for the fulfillment of that necessity keeps dissolving like those strange white lines in the sky.

And now – forgive me – you’ll understand my present mood, caused by the sobering reality that arrived with this week’s mail.

find more resonance in Ted Gupsept’s 1990 New York Times essay marking the centennial of the starling’s introduction to the City: “It has distinguished itself as one of the costliest and most noxious birds on our continent,” he wrote. “By the mid-1950s they numbered more than 50 million. Schieffelin’s mission had become more appropriate to a work of Hitchcock than of Shakespeare.”

or harridan. Major roles on both stage and screen for women in their 40s or 50s were frustratingly scarce, reflecting the realworld experience of many that menopause meant the onset of the Age of Invisibility.

Ironically, just at a point in history where some women are beginning to view invisibility (when not mandated by race or class) as liberating, that situation has changed. In the movie industry, more and more meaty parts – often lead roles – are being written for mature women. In many cases, this is a direct result of more women who have already succeeded in acting or other media fields taking up the reins as producers, directors and screenwriters.

It’s especially gratifying for viewers who are themselves Women of a Certain Age to see more characters up on the big screen to whom we can personally relate.

The results are far better than anyone might have imagined who cringes to remember all the wan Hollywood remakes of delightful French farces back in the 1980s (Cousins, The Man with One Red Shoe, Three Men and a Baby and so on). While Gloria Bell is nearly a scene-by-scene reconstruction of Gloria, the transposition to Southern California works very well. The story of a woman on the downslope of middle age trying to reinvent herself and being repeatedly disappointed by her romantic prospects is a classic scenario that bears multiple reinterpretations. And, without throwing the slightest bit of shade on García, Moore totally makes the title character her own.

It’s a tour de force performance.

So some of the context and subtext of the original Gloria gets lost here.

The universalities of the aging human condition, with all its attendant relationship baggage, still hold true, however. Thanks mostly to Moore’s fine performance, Gloria Bell is a remake that amply justifies its own existence.

A Night of Neo-Benshi honors John Ashbery at Hudson Hall

H

udson Hall partners with the Flow Chart Foundation, an organization dedicated to the wide-ranging legacy of the late, renowned American poet and Bard teacher John Ashbery, to present the Foundation’s first public offering: Flow Chart Cabaret Cinema: A Night of Neo-Benshi on Friday, April 5. Inspired by “Benshi,” the Japanese performers who provided live narration and cultural translation for audiences in the silent film era, Neo-Benshi artists take scenes from popular film or television and replace the sound with their own live spoken works. The result is a new kind of multimedia happening that has taken the experimental performance art world by storm. Curated by Flow Chart executive director Jeffrey Lependorf, poet/performers Anselm Berrigan, Shanekia McIntosh, Joan Retallack and Jasmine Dreame Wagner perform in front of Hudson Hall’s full-stage projection screen. In addition to John Ashbery, an avowed fan of comic film dubbing, the evening pays tribute to the late Carolee Schneemann, who was scheduled to perform at this event.

Where García conveyed most of Gloria’s emotions via facial expressions, Moore makes the role considerably more verbal – often to the character’s detriment. The actress has a formidable reputation for taking on risky parts, and here again she allows her character to come across as less-than-likable at times. Like a real person (as opposed to a sitcom character who always has the perfect witty rejoinder locked and loaded), Gloria sometimes sticks her foot in her mouth. She may have a heart of gold, but she always has to fight her tendency to hover too much in the lives of her two grown children, Peter (Michael Cera) and Anne (Caren Pistorius). Both kids face their own relationship woes, but don’t necessarily welcome their mom’s well-meaning interference.

The relationships with her offspring receive somewhat more development here than in the Chilean original – enough to make us wish we could follow their separate stories without distracting too much from the main narrative. Gloria’s 70-something mother Hillary (Holland Taylor) is also more of a character, taking on some of the plot-moving actions of Gloria’s overly devout housekeeper from the original, who has been dropped. One nod to Latino culture that gets retained is a scene where South American love poems are being fervently read aloud – this time in English translation.

John Turturro is an interesting choice to portray the more-recently-divorced man with whom Gloria gets romantically involved, Arnold. He’s quite effective as a guy who thinks he adores his new flame but just can’t manage to extricate himself from codependent interactions with his ex-wife and grown daughters. Arnold and Gloria’s cellphones never stop ringing; the decision of whether and when to answer them is a test of character for both.

One big difference between the two versions of the story lies in the political landscapes in which the stories are set.

A pivotal scene involves Arnold walking out of a birthday party for Peter, the first time that Gloria introduces him to her family. Peter’s father Dustin (Brad

Garrett) is present (accompanied by his second wife), and gets progressively more nostalgic about his former marriage to Gloria the more wine he drinks. It’s awkward for all. Arnold takes offense at his own invisibility in the face of this family with a lot of shared history.

But in the original, Rodolfo (Sergio Hernández) gets a blatant cold shoulder once he drops the truth bomb that his first career was in the Chilean Navy – during the Pinochet regime. Here, revealing a military background doesn’t deliver quite the same chilling punch of unacceptability to a liberal family, and it

TASTE

A Latin love of land Peace Nation Café serves up organic GuatemalanAmerican cuisine in Midtown Kingston

I

t’s a modest establishment, this down-to-earth café on Broadway in Kingston that specializes in Guatemalan-American cuisine. Opened nearly three years ago by Noe Delcid and his partner Ewelina, the kitchen’s steady production of Latin-based dishes using fresh ingredients has garnered a following. The fact that Peace Nation was originally meant to be a tee-shirt shop is beside the point now (although patrons can find a shelf of them and other naturalfiber items near the end of the counter).

Striving to bring organically grown plant-based foods and hormone-free meats to the local population is the goal. “Everyone cares about the environment these days, and

plant-based foods are the most friendly for the environment. In Midtown Kingston, where being vegan or vegetarian is a relatively new thing, I want to serve food that local people can buy. We have a separate vegan menu, and we do like to cater to that market. Our biggest challenge has been to carry this food while maintaining prices under $13 per dish.”

D e l c i d explains that the cost of food supplies should typically be around 33 percent of the menu price.

“Some places have higher or lower margins. In the beginning, we said, ‘Let’s just start with low prices and good-quality ingredients. See where our sales are at and go from there.’ We get people in who don’t live in Kingston, but a lot of locals, too.” His business training is all about life experience, having worked under a French chef while still in high school, helping out

“My parents taught me all the things I know.

They came here with not much, not speaking any English, and they made something of themselves. I’ve seen what is possible with hard work and dedication and some sacrifice.”

years old.

Coming to Kingston from Westchester was serendipitous. “I chose Kingston and Kingston chose me. I attended SUNY-New Paltz and did like living up here. The Peace Nation brand got started when I was selling tee-shirts in 2012. I was looking to expand and found Kingston because of its affordability, compared to rents at 10-to-15 grand downstate. This building was the third place we bid on. I wasn’t planning a café per se, but it came with this [kitchen] setup, so I decided to merge all the things I was doing already: eating good, healthy organic food. I had restaurant experience. I like to work with my hands; we remodeled most of this place ourselves. It came out better than I had envisioned it.”

Renovation involved removing the dropped ceiling and booths, installing LED spotlights: They give the space that galleryesque feeling for the paintings along the walls. Every first Saturday of the month, the work of local artists is celebrated. Peace Nation occasionally hosts live music and other special events.

“We’re trying to create a business model that cares not just about profit. It’s important for the health of a company to generate profit, but also to incorporate two factors that are mostly neglected: the environment and the people, meaning the employees and other stakeholders, such as whom we source our food from. We’re supporting the local economy.

“We’re concerned about where our waste goes, so we compost. Our lights are powered by wind farms from upstate. We pay a little more, but I think it’s worth it.

We use plastics made from corn, so all our to-go containers are biodegradable. There are a lot of new companies coming up with great ideas, and I think it’s important to support them. Cups and straws made from plants cost more than traditional materials, but I said, ‘Let’s set it up and do the best we can. If it doesn’t work, we’ll adjust.’”

Delcid comes from hardworking, closeto-the-Earth people himself. “My dad

left the farm to go into the city, but that’s what he was doing: milking the cows at 5 a.m. My parents’ families were farming families. One of my grandmas sold tortillas to raise her kids. On my mom’s side, my grandma sewed clothes to raise her kids. Now I’m selling hemp shirts and good food – like both my grandmas.”

When asked about this inherited work ethic, he says, “My parents taught me all the things I know. They came here with not much, not speaking any English, and they made something of themselves. I’ve seen what is possible with hard work and dedication and some sacrifice.”

As for his philosophical bent, he says, “You grow up and develop a worldview, and also a galactic view: to appreciate our place where Earth is in the universe. You realize our limited time here is so precious – 90 years if we’re lucky – and we should really just love each other. Earth is the only place we have. So why not cherish and respect it, take care of it and each other?”

And while you’re here, why not enjoy fresh entrées and à la carte options, such as pupusas and carne asada and garnachas and tacos and chilaquiles, with gluten-free handmade tortillas and lots more. “I highly recommend our Peace Burger: It tastes like a real burger, without the negative effects on the carbon footprint.”

The Brewery at the CIA named New York State Brewery of the Year

Professor John Fischer (left) and Head Brewer Hutch Kugeman of The Culinary Institute of America teach the Art & Science of Brewing course.

Cheers to the Brewery at the Culinary Institute of America (CIA), an educational microbrewery on campus that was recently honored as the New York State Brewery of the Year for 2019. In addition, two student-produced beers earned Gold Medals competing against professional breweries in their respective categories at the New York State Craft Beer Competition, held in Rochester.

The Brewery of the Year award was based on earning the highest total scores in the competition. Gold medals were awarded to the CIA in the Brown Ale and Wheat Beer categories. The class project BrBr-Br-Brown was best in the Brown Ale category. The beer, as the name suggests, was a winter-themed ale developed by students in the CIA’s “Art and Science of Brewing” course. The Brewery’s signature Mise en Place Wit, brewed every semester by students taking the class, was champion in the Wheat Beer category.

There are 420 breweries across the state, and 813 different beers were entered in the competition. Mise en Place Wit is on tap at the CIA’s on-campus restaurants in Hyde Park and will soon be available at select restaurants and bars owned by CIA alumni in the Hudson Valley and New York City. Visitors to the CIA can also purchase growlers to take home from the Egg, a student dining venue on campus.

The Br-Br-Br-Brown was only produced last winter, with each new class of students every semester creating its own unique beer in a style appropriate for the season.

The Brewery at the CIA is primarily a classroom where undergraduate students

It was created in 2015 in partnership with Brooklyn Brewery, whose brewers and business executives often serve as guest lecturers. The class helps future food professionals think differently about beer, elevating its status as a fine beverage on a level with wine.

“Art & Words” opens at Emerge Gallery

Two national juried exhibitions open at Barrett Art Center Formerly known as the Dutchess Arts Association, the Barrett Art Center in Poughkeepsie has been active since 1935. Recently, however, it has been hyperactive, revitalized and progressive in the way it interprets its mission: to foster and perpetuate an appreciation of the visual arts in the mid-Hudson Valley. On Saturday, April 6, the Barrett Art Center hosts an opening reception for its two new shows: “Saturated: An Eye for Color” and “David Siever: Tiny Tragedies.”

The event is free and open to the public.

“Saturated: An Eye for Color” is a national juried exhibition featuring artworks by 29 artists from all over the US, including Poughkeepsie artist Stephen Kenney. Michael Rooks, Weiland Family curator of Modern & Contemporary Art at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, Georgia, selected 44 works for the exhibition from roughly 1,200 works submitted for consideration.

The exhibition features artwork in all media of art, sculptures, paintings and photographs, all “saturated” with color as a theme or subject.

“Tiny Tragedies” is a national juried solo show featuring sculptures by international artist David Siever, who has previously worked in Canada, France and Mexico.

Seiver’s sculptural dioramas depict tragic,

Emerge Gallery in Saugerties celebrates National Poetry Month by exploring the power of words and their connection to the visual arts. The exhibition “Art & Words” features more than 20 visual artists and more than a dozen poets engaging in a dialogue between forms of expression. Those artists and poets were given the opportunity to select poems or pieces of art that spoke to them from the submitted work and to create a new piece of art – be it a visual art piece or poem –based on the original inspiration. The challenge will be in determining which came first: the poem or the artwork. An opening reception is scheduled for Saturday, April 6 from 5 to 8 p.m. A closing reception and poetry reading is planned for Sunday, April 28 from 2 to 5 p.m.

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 toward me and mine. The person must say this prayer 3 consecutive days. After 3 days, the request will be granted. This prayer must be published after the favor is granted.

MISSING TUXEDO CAT, SOX, Tinker Street, across from Upstate Films, since 3/25. Call/text 845-853-0562.

If you’re looking for someone who’ll always be happy to see you & give you unconditional love forever, look no further! That someone could be waiting for you at Saugerties Animal Shelter. LOLA; 12-year plus calico cat girl. Her mom passed away suddenly & doesn’t understand why her life has been

turned upside down- she’s now in a cage in a shelter. She’s a shy cat girl who needs someone who will love and care for her just like her mama did. NACHO, DORITO and OJ; 6-month old orange kitten boys. What’s better than loving 1 orange kitten boy? Loving 2 orange kitten boys! LAURA; orange & white 10-month old shy & very sweet kitten girl. TIGER; very sweet 6-year old brown tabby cat girl who’d make a perfect addition to your loving family. HOT SHOT; laid back 1-year old gray & white cat boy who likes to watch the world go by. Very, very sweet.

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. 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 & need a “meet & greet”. 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 Dexter at the shelter. Dexter needs to be your one and only; please- no children or other pets. Dexter wants to love again and to be loved. Please visit The Town of Saugerties Animal Shelter, 1765 Route 212 (behind the transfer station) to meet these beautiful beings or call (845)679-0339 to answer any questions you may have. Adopt an animal.

They will thank you every day.
