May 9, 2019 year and is available to rent for meetings and events. It also features a ten-ton rotating granite sculpture of the Earth, surrounded with plaques representing the 44 Orange County residents who lost their lives in the Twin Towers. There is a greenhouse that allows the Arboretum to grow unusual plants on-site to fill the beds and an apiary with beehives in season. A number of walkways connect various themed gardens, including one with an Asian focus and another with Alpine plantings. One garden is dedicated to veterans, and a children’s garden is on the horizon for next year. Water features, teak benches scattered throughout and rock formations all complete a feeling of tranquility.

On May 11, 18, 25 and June 15 from 10 a.m. until 2:45 p.m., the Arboretum will host its Friends of the Arboretum Plant Sale. The Arboretum can be accessed from the Grove Street park entrance off State Route 416. There is a motion-activated gate to enter the site by vehicle and a latched pedestrian entrance. The gardens, like the rest of the park, are open to the public free of charge from dawn to dusk year-round. Well-behaved dogs on leashes are allowed.

For more information about the Orange County Arboretum, call (845) 615-3828 or visit www.orangecountyarboretum.org.

The Thomas Bull Memorial Park is located at 211 State Route 416 in Montgomery.

screening on the tour is paired with a special event – in this case, an optional Joyful Vampire Yoga Class taught by Mara Lileas at 6 p.m.

Bite Me is a subversive romantic comedy about a real-life vampire and the IRS agent who audits her. In New York City, Sarah (Naomi McDougall Jones from Imagine I’m Beautiful) is part of a subculture of people who identify as vampires and believe they need to drink blood to stay healthy. James (Christian Coulson, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Nashville) is an expat IRS agent assigned to audit Sarah’s vampire church.

Romance sparks between the two while clashes between their different worlds cause hiccups.

Tickets cost $15 for the screening only, or $30 for the screening plus Joyful Vampire Yoga class. They can be purchased at www. bitemethefilm.com/screenings.

For years, she passed copies of highly classified files over to Soviet contacts, and is credited with having enabled the USSR to develop an atomic bomb within a couple of years after the US. The real-life lady spy, who died in 2005, was a True Believer, telling the press, “I did what I did, not to make money, but to help prevent the defeat of a new system which had, at great cost, given ordinary people food and fares which they could afford, a good education and a health service.” Joan Stanley, the protagonist of the movie Red Joan, isn’t such a simple unquestioning Communist. Nor is she merely a member of the clerical pool whose desk is regularly crossed by sensitive documents. Her younger self – played brilliantly by Sophie Cookson, who’s relatively unknown to US

ble choice? That’s the premise we are invited to ponder in Red Joan, a new movie directed by Trevor Nunn and starring the redoubtable Judi Dench as a mildmannered elderly Englishwoman whose dicey past has just caught up with her.

This screenplay by Lindsay Shapero is based on a 2013 novel of the same title

by Jennie Rooney. The novel was inspired by the true-life outing in 1999 of Melita Stedman Norwood, said to have been “the most important female agent ever recruited by the USSR” in Britain. She was 87 years old at the time, and never ended up being prosecuted.

Norwood had grown up in an actively socialist home and became a member of the Communist Party in 1936, when she had already been working for four years as a secretary with the British Non-Ferrous Metals Research Association. From that post, Norwood was recruited to work as a secretary to the project director at Tube

audiences beyond her role in the Kingsman movies – is a physics prodigy attending Cambridge when we first meet her: the sort of female-STEM-fields-pioneer heroine perfectly calibrated for the current zeitgeist.

Coming from an apparently apolitical family background, young Joan meets cute with a dormmate, Sonya (Tereza Srbova), who was born in Russia and has a handsome, brooding cousin named Leo (Tom Hughes) who’s agitating for the Comintern amongst the university set. Seduction on two fronts ensues, and before long Joan is attending all the leftie discussion groups and Eisenstein screenings and Spanish Civil War rallies.

Significantly, her Spidey senses give her some presciently bad vibes about Stalin at a time long before his predilection for atrocities came to light. Her interest in leftist political theory is at first driven mainly by her romantic attachment to Leo. And Leo is using her.

Eventually Joan catches on, though she doesn’t entirely sever social ties with the Russian cousins. Mostly she just wants to do what she’s really good at: science. Her

Following the film, Sharai Martinez, Luís Martinez’s daughter, will share her experience as a young person whose father was recently thrust into the deportation process. Actions that could be taken in that type of situation will be discussed by experts from local organizations including Nobody Leaves Mid-Hudson, the Ulster Immigrant Defense Network, Rural & Migrant Ministry and others. Tin Horn Uprising and Resisterhood will lead the group in song. There will also be a silent auction to benefit organizations serving local immigrant communities.

ideas are depicted as contributing materially to the development of nuclear fission by the Brits. Some of the sharpest vignettes in Red Joan involve the experience of being a true adept in a male-dominated profession in the 1940s, where she is frequently mistaken for the girl who fetches tea for the meetings.

There are no confrontational scenes; Cookson merely smirks at the bluster of some of the male executives of the project and goes on with her work, knowing that her invisibility is actually enabling her to get things accomplished on more levels than one. It helps that her married boss Max (a very fine Stephen Campbell Moore) not only knows and values her skills, but has also fallen deeply in love with her.

A great deal of the drama unfolding here involves young Joan’s poor choices in men, but her character evolution is ultimately driven by the appalling, unavoidable knowledge of human suffering to which her research has contributed. When asked – as her older self, portrayed by Dench – about why she spied for the Russians, the fictional version of this fascinatingly flawed person says simply, “Hiroshima.”

This story is told mainly in flashbacks, as the older Joan is subjected to interrogations, with the usually elegant Dench bravely flaunting her actual age and the character’s frailty. Unfortunately, she doesn’t get enough screentime (not a complaint about Cookson’s chops in the least). Where Red Joan will most likely disappoint some viewers is in its staginess, stately pacing and unimaginative use of the medium – which are to be expected, I suppose, from one of Britain’s preeminent directors of Shakespeare. There’s really nothing in this film that couldn’t have been rendered just as well as live theater. If it’s an actionoriented espionage thriller you’re looking for, you’ll find Red Joan tepid. If you’re

here for character development or ethical dilemmas, have a seat and enjoy.

Based on Pokras’ novella of the same name, Feeding Mrs. Moskowitz explores the world of two women at different stages of their lives with deft humor and heartwarming detail. Golde Moskowitz is an elderly Russian widow living alone with her memories. In her world, “signs” are everywhere, the dead converse with the living and dreams are real. Natalie Holtzman, a 36-year-old graphic artist longing for connection, fills her world with work and her commitment-wary boyfriend, Artie. One sweltering summer morning,

This image from the Hubble Space Telescope shows Westerlund 2, a giant cluster of about 3,000 stars located 20, 000 light-years away in the constellation Carina. Bethel Woods will screen Deep Field: The Impossible Magnitude of Our Universe on Saturday, May 18. Inspired by the Hubble Space Telescope and the imagery it captured of the Deep Field – a group of more than 3,000 galaxies nearly 13 billion light-years from Earth – the film is a collaboration of Grammy Award-winning composer Eric Whitacre and the Space Telescope Science Institute. Whitacre’s symphonic score features his Virtual Choir for Deep Field, a blending of 8,000 voices age 4 to 87, from more than 120 different countries, alongside the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.

Stardust memories Bethel Woods celebrates 50 th anniversary of Apollo 11 with Lunar Weekend’s sleepover in the museum and Deep Field symphonic film filled with Hubble Telescope imagery

T

he Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, which is built on the location of the original Woodstock festival, is in the midst of an eight-month-long celebration of the famous concert’s 50th anniversary. “A Season of Song & Celebration” includes new exhibits in the museum, the opening of trails through the wooded area west of the festival field and monthly events that will explore the history of the site.

Less than a month prior to the original Woodstock festival, Apollo 11 landed on the Moon and Neil Armstrong became the first human to walk on its surface. The words he spoke on July 20, 1969 remain among the most memorable quotes of the 20th century: “That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.”

What effect did space travel have on the 400,000 young people who descended on Max Yasgur’s dairy farm for the concert just weeks after Armstrong’s words were

spoken? The Museum at Bethel Woods is exploring this question with an exhibit, “We Are Stardust,” which interprets the objects and history surrounding the Moon landing through the lens of American cultural consciousness at the time. The exhibit, along with another titled “We Are Golden: Reflections on the 50th Anniversary of the Woodstock Fe s t i v a l and Aspirations for an Aquarian Future,” will run through the end of the season. Admission to the museum offers self-guided tours and free 45-minute docent tours.

The Bethel site will also mark the proximity in time between space exploration in the 1960s and the Woodstock concert through the upcoming “Lunar Weekend,” with festivities running from Friday evening, May 17 through Sunday, May 19.

Lunar Weekend kicks off with a familyfriendly Star Party Sleepover. According to Suzanne Morris, senior director of museum education at Bethel Woods, “Night in the

Museum” sleepovers at the site have been popular events in recent years, but this will be the first with a stargazing theme.

Attendees who arrive at 6 p.m. on Friday, May 17 will have the option to purchase dinner in the café or bring their own picnicstyle supper. Afterward, a number of starthemed activities will be offered.

Performer and storyteller Allan Wolf will

offer songs and stories about the myths and legends of the night sky. Members of the Catskill Astronomy Association will set up outside with telescopes for viewing, and late-night flashlight tours of the festival grounds will be offered. The “Your Family Star” talent show will allow little ones to shine, and various space-themed activities – rocket-launching and art projects –

will keep all attendees busy. The event is designed for kids between the ages of 6 and 13, who must be accompanied by an adult aged 21 or older. The cost is $30 per person ($25 for Bethel Woods members), with a maximum capacity of 50 people, so reserving a spot in advance is advised.

When the evening’s fun is over, families will stake out their favorite spot inside the museum and spend the night. Air mattresses are permitted, as are roll-out sleeping mats or bags. (Bring a toothbrush; visitors will have access to all restroom facilities inside the museum.) A continental breakfast the following morning is included, and attendees of the sleepover are welcome to stay and enjoy Lunar Weekend festivities throughout the day on Saturday.

Space enthusiasts who join them at Bethel Woods on Saturday, May 18 and those who visit Sunday, May 19 will find an inflatable planetarium with a projector inside, equipped with a round 360-degree lens. Shows will offer digital images from NASA of the solar system and the stars of the night sky. Entrance is included with museum admission, which ranges from $8 to $20, discounted with advance purchase online.

Saturday evening, May 18 will bring the first in the Bethel season’s “Vibrations” series: eight monthly events that will each put the focus on Woodstock’s 50th anniversary in a different light. First up in the series, for Lunar Weekend, is a screening of Deep Field: The Impossible Magnitude of Our Universe. Inspired by the Hubble Space Telescope and the imagery it captured of the Deep Field – a group of more than 3,000 galaxies nearly 13 billion light-years from Earth – the film reveals never-before-seen images of the Deep Field, accompanied by animations that create an immersive journey.

The film is a collaboration among Grammy Award-winning composer Eric Whitacre, Music Productions producers, scientists and visualizers from the Space Telescope Science Institute and artists from 59 Productions. Whitacre’s symphonic score features his Virtual Choir for Deep Field, a blending of 8,000 voices age 4 to 87, from more than 120 different countries, alongside the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and the Eric Whitacre Singers.

The 6:30 p.m. screening will be followed by a panel discussion in which Whitacre will be joined by astrophysicists Michelle Thaller of NASA and Frank Summers of the Space Telescope Science Institute. The panel will delve into space exploration as not only a scientific venture, but also an artistic and cultural one.

Tickets cost $20 for adults, $12 for seniors and students. An additional $40 VIP add-on ticket offers admission to a post-event cocktail hour with Whitacre and the panelists.

Whitacre is a graduate of the Juilliard School of Music and is currently artistin-residence with the Los Angeles Master Chorale following a five-year stint as composer-in-residence at the University of Cambridge in the UK. He has conducted choral and orchestral concerts around the globe and is also known for his speaking engagements. He has given two mainstage TED talks, as well as keynote speeches for Apple, Google and organizations that include the World Economic Forum in Davos and the United Nations Speakers’ Programme.

Additional “Vibrations” events planned for the rest of the season include “Power of the Poster” on June 5, with David Edward Byrd, designer of the original Woodstock poster, and Broadway poster designer Frank “Fraver” Verlizzo, who will take attendees on a kaleidoscopic journey through the power of posters over the last 50 years through a panel and hands-on workshops.

The event will coincide with “PLAY: After Dark,” a monthly event for adults age 21 and over to explore their creative side. The “Power of the Poster” event will include the presentation of the winning design for the “Peace, Love & Posters” contest, which will serve as the face of Bethel Woods during the Golden Anniversary year.

In September, Vibrations will offer an interactive photography class for students

with a panel of acclaimed photographers who will discuss their work and share hopes for photography’s impact in the future. The final event, “Sixties@50: A Woodstock Retrospective” on October 19, invites authors, historians and people who were there to share Woodstock memories and a “People’s Supper” where participants share a meal and facilitated conversation.

“We’re really hoping to offer a breadth of programming that will appeal to everyone,” says museum education director Suzanne Morris, “those who are coming to visit us for the first time and those in our local

community to come out and engage with us.”

MUSIC Bard Conservatory performs Mahler’s Third twice this weekend

Levon Helm Studios 160 Plochmann Ln., Woodstock (845) 679-2744 https://levonhelm.com

Dirty Projectors play Hudson Hall on May 25

Conducted by Leon Botstein, the Bard College Conservatory Orchestra takes on one of the giants of the repertoire, Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 3, in two performances on the weekend of May 10. While Mahler’s No. 8 is the one affectionately dubbed the “Symphony of a Thousand” because of its immense ensemble size and logistical challenges (sometimes involving entire second orchestras and choirs performing in the wings, out of audience view), No. 3 is no small and tidy affair. Bard’s performance will employ more than 160 musicians to get it right. This performance features mezzo-soprano Eve Gigliotti, the Bard College Chamber Singers, the Bard Festival Chorale and the Bard Preparatory Division Chorus – just for the singing parts.

The suggested donation is $15 to $20, which will benefit the Conservatory’s Scholarship Fund. Performances take place on Friday, May 10 at 8 p.m. and

Ethan Iverson trio at Senate Garage May 16 As the founding pianist in the popular Midwestern ensemble the Bad Plus, Ethan Iverson pioneered one the new millennium’s fresher takes on the piano trio: harmonically adventurous as we expect jazz to be, but possessed of a manic, contentious rhythmic urgency that rocks without ever really sounding like fusion. As a polarizing jazz critic unafraid of unpopular opinion, Iverson has made his mark on modern jazz from both sides of the dialogue.

On Thursday, May 16, Jazzstock presents Ethan Iverson, joined by Jazzstock founder and bassist John Menegon and the esteemed drummer Matt Wilson, at the Senate Garage in Kingston. Tickets cost $25.

Mexican guitarist and composer Gil Gutierrez and his band perform at Opus 40 on Saugerties on Saturday, May 11. Gutierrez straddles classical, jazz, Latin and Gypsy traditions, improvises often and is not afraid of a little rock ‘n’ roll. He stocks his bands with musical peers: violinist Bob Stern and bassist Dave Rodriguez.

The concert will be followed by a wine reception with the artists amidst the unspeakable beauty and weirdness of Harvey Fite’s sculpture park. Seating is limited and Gil’s shows have sold out before. Get on it.

Even by Hudson Hall’s lofty standards, this booking is a biggie: The venue located within the historic Hudson Opera House welcomes the Dirty Projectors on Saturday, May 25.

While the eccentric musical visionary Dave Longstreth had been making experimental pop records for years, a pair of major releases – 2009’s Bitte Orca and 2012’s Swing Lo Magellan – firmly established the then-Brooklynbased ensemble as one of the most formidable voices in the conservatory wing of indie-pop. After several years of personnel shakeups, Longstreth resurfaced with a bluntly autobiographical self-titled DP release in 2017, featuring the on-topic track “Up in Hudson.” This was followed by 2018’s return to skittish form, Lamp Lit Prose. Everything the man does is challenging, and worth it. Tickets cost $35.

County Poorhouse sculpture unveiling set for May 15 “Wher’ neath the cold damp earth lay, and sleep in quiet day by day, and have no more on earth to say, who’ll weep for me?”

– 1852 tombstone inscription, Rebekah Brower

A

n 1824 law passed in New York State required that each county build a poorhouse. In a time of few (if any) safety nets, the poorhouses were tax-supported residential institutions established to improve treatment of the poor, to which people were required to go if they could not support themselves. The Ulster County Poorhouse opened in New Paltz in 1828, at the site on Libertyville Road where the Ulster County Fairgrounds and county pool complex are now located.

The facility closed in 1976 after having housed thousands of people in the intervening years. Some were classified as “insane” or “intemperate,” but the records show just as many who were admitted because of old age, sickness or disability. There were unwed mothers, “debauched” women, abandoned wives, babies and children, former slaves and recent immigrants injured while employed building the Catskill Aqueduct and D & H Canal.

Was the Poorhouse a decent option for these individuals? According to New Paltz

town historian Susan Stessin-Cohn, the records show a place with appalling living conditions, with residents denied access to bathing facilities, and the sane and insane cohabiting in the same buildings.

Corruption was rampant at times, with administrators wining and dining those charged with inspection of the place in order to buy a good report. And a number of children who landed there were removed from their parents and put on the “orphan trains” of the times, sent off to new families, never to return.

After the facility closed in the ‘70s, and

as time went on, there were few local residents left who had any awareness of what had transpired at the local Poorhouse, and even fewer with any interest in remembering: out of sight; out of mind. The buildings were demolished in 1985, though some of the original Poorhouse barns still remain on the Ulster County Fairgrounds. The land adjacent to where the building stood was excavated and the County Pool complex built.

But over the past two decades, we’ve learned a great deal more about this painful chapter of New Paltz history, thanks to the comprehensive research carried out by Stessin-Cohn. It has been nearly 20 years since her interest was

piqued, first by repeated references in local death records to residents having been “buried at the Poorhouse” and later by encountering the tombstone of a former Poorhouse resident behind the barns on fairground property.

That discovery was made in the fall of 2000, in the company of colleagues Carol Johnson, coordinator of Elting Memorial Library’s Haviland-Heidgerd Historical Collection, and Brian McAdoo, a geophysicist and Bard professor now teaching at Yale in Singapore. They walked the grounds for hours searching for a burial ground, until a groundskeeper pointed them towards the location in the woods where he had noticed an old tombstone.

Finding the tombstone of Rebekah Brower, who died at the Poorhouse in 1852 at age 30, inspired Stessin-Cohn to want to learn more, she says, her interest fueled in part by the poignant words on the headstone: “Who’ll Weep for Me?” As it turned out, Brower’s was the only marked grave found at the site, and it’s still a mystery as to how the cost of a headstone for a Poorhouse resident was afforded, and by whom it was erected.

Stessin-Cohn eventually learned just how unique it was to find that one gravestone at the site. Further visits revealed evidence of mass graves in the manner of a “Potter’s Field.” Weathercreated erosion in the land was bringing bones and skulls to the surface: somber objects that the historian says she picked up as one would seashells on a beach. Not knowing what to do with them at first, she stored several human skulls in her laundry room. Ultimately, Stessin-Cohn’s research revealed that more than 2,300 residents of the Ulster County Poorhouse had met this sad ending, buried without benefit of headstone or commemoration of any sort.

That will change on Wednesday, May 15 with the unveiling of a bronze memorial dedicated to those forgotten souls, erected outside the entrance to the Ulster County Pool complex. Aging Woman, a life-size statue by local sculptor Trina Greene, will now serve as a permanent tribute to the thousands of individuals who were buried anonymously on the land there, treated no better in death than they had been in their lifetimes. A placard on the spot notes that the memorial is intended to inspire us to aid and protect the needy and vulnerable among us.

Rebekah Brower’s tombstone, inscribed with the four moving stanzas of verse, each ending with the refrain, “Who’ll Weep for Me,” has been reinstalled adjacent to Aging Woman, on a landscaped patio with seating for contemplation. The slategray, five-foot-tall rectangular slab, several inches thick, has a worn surface with a design of weeping willows still visible: a symbol often seen in mourning tributes of the time. Lights have been installed to illuminate the memorial after dark.

The unveiling ceremony will begin at 5 p.m. at the 4-H Building on the Fairgrounds. Acting county executive

ALMANAC WEEKLY

May 9, 2019 Adele Reiter will introduce Stessin-Cohn, the driving force behind not only the research but also the fundraising efforts that, all these years later, have resulted in the memorial. Stessin-Cohn’s presentation about the Poorhouse residents, “Forsaken in Life, Forgotten in Death,” will be followed at 6 p.m. by the unveiling of the bronze.

The memorial was made through a number of private donations supplemented by county funding from former Ulster County executive Mike Hein, assemblyman Kevin Cahill and the Ulster County Legislature. The project was supported by Ulster County clerk Nina Postupack and the New Paltz Town Board.

“The whole point of doing this memorial is to bring information to people,” says Stessin-Cohn. “I want people to understand the site.” After years of trying to bring the project to fruition, she says she had “kind of given up all hope of anything ever happening.” But if people come out to the site, she adds, “They’ll understand why that monument needs to be there. This history can’t be forgotten.

It just can’t be forgotten.”

During the course of the unveiling ceremony, the names of some of those buried at the site will be read aloud.

“That name is a person,” says StessinCohn. “That’s what I want people to think about: These people lived here, they died here, and most of them were people about whom nobody cared.”

And like all historical knowledge, its resonance in current affairs demands our attention.

The treatment of Poorhouse residents, a number of whom were immigrants, echoes things people think now about immigration, notes Stessin-Cohn. “The attitude is, ‘We’re not taking care of those immigrants; we’re not paying for that. Why take care of these people… ’ Everything parallels. You look at the way the Poorhouse residents were treated, and you say, ‘How horrible,’ but that’s what some people want to go back to now. That, to me, is a big part of this. We need to look at not only how we treated people in the past, but how we still treat people who are homeless or in need in our country.

And that’s why the monument needed to go up.”

Stessin-Cohn also finds disturbing parallels with the way children were removed from their parents at the Poorhouse and the current situation with immigrants at the Mexican border, where parents and children are routinely separated. A law was passed in New York State after 1875, she notes, that required all children between the ages of 3 and 14 to be removed from the Poorhouse and placed in orphanages or asylums. Thirteen children were taken to the Susquehanna Valley Home in 1876, and some were placed in a Kingston public home (where their parents in the Poorhouse could presumably occasionally see them, with some hope of eventually reclaiming them),

but others were bound out as indentured servants or sent away on the orphan trains.

Stessin-Cohn received a grant from New York State Archives to create a curriculum on the history of poverty for middle-tohigh-school-age students. (That material is still available to teachers.) She has created websites for the county on the topic and frequently gives talks. It was during one of those talks, at Woodland Pond in New Paltz, when she encountered resident and artist Trina Greene in the audience.

Greene was moved by Stessin-Cohn’s presentation about the Ulster County Poorhouse, and inspired to design a monument. A native of the Philadelphia area who studied painting at the Boston Museum School, but considers herself a self-educated sculptor, Greene is bestknown locally for Isabella, her statue of an 11-year-old Sojourner Truth that stands in Port Ewen. Greene told Stessin-Cohn that she had expected Isabella to be her last statue, but after hearing about the Poorhouse residents, she felt that she had to do something.

“I went to Trina’s studio a few times while she was working on this,” says Stessin-Cohn. “I’m not a sculptor, but it’s like she took my thoughts and combined them with hers to create this…” The historian’s words trail off in admiration as she tries to do justice to describing the sculpture that depicts an elderly woman draped in a shroud, with butterflies, dragonflies and grasses at her feet, suggesting all the things on the field in which she’ll soon be buried.

According to Greene, in an interview she gave several years ago, the woman’s pose suggests strength, compassion and resignation. “One hand is out to ward off what is coming her way, which is death.”

Stessin-Cohn notes that she’d really rather people come out to see the memorial for themselves, adding that there were many babies and young people buried there, too, but the memorial serves to honor all of them.

Greene will be present at the unveiling ceremony. Unfortunately, her model for the figure (who posed in the buff at age 97 to do so), will not be there, as she passed away recently. A fellow resident at Woodland Pond, Annette Finestone died April 14 at age 102. The native of Accord earned a degree in Political Science from the University of Washington, and in 1946, spent 18 months in Japan as part of the postwar reconciliation effort.

Finestone documented Japanese life at that time with hundreds of photographs that were later exhibited in Ulster County, Washington DC and Japan. Her children are expected to attend the unveiling of Aging Woman in her place.

Cork Wars book talk with David A. Taylor May 16 at FDR Library The Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum presents a book talk and signing with David A. Taylor, author of Cork Wars: Intrigue and Industry in World War II on Thursday, May 16. In 1940, with German U-boats endangering commerce across the Atlantic Ocean, a fireball at the Crown Cork and Seal factory lit the sky over Baltimore. The newspapers said that you could see its glow as far north as Philadelphia and as far south as Annapolis. Rumors of Nazi sabotage led to an FBI investigation and pulled an entire industry into the machinery of national security as America stood on the brink of war. In Cork Wars, David A. Taylor traces this story through the lives of three men and their families.

The event will be held in the Henry A. Wallace Center at the FDR Presidential Library and Home. This is a free event, but registration is required.

EVENT

Apple Blossom Day returns to Red Hook

A

fter such a slow-starting spring, trees and shrubs have finally bursting into bloom all over the region: dogwood, magnolia and that stalwart American fruit, the apple! In celebration of warming weather and a long history of apple-growing in the Hudson Valley, the Village of Red Hook will once again fill the streets with Apple Blossom Day merriment.

Make plans to head to the picturesque Dutchess County town on Saturday, May 11 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. to stroll amongst more than 70 local crafters and vendors selling handmade items such as jewelry, clothing and crafts for all ages – maybe a last-minute Mothers’ Day gift for anyone who has, ahem, forgotten?

Festivities up and down Broadway (Route 9) in the center of the business district will include all the typical fair-food purveyors – kettle corn, burgers, barbecue from High Country Que, Kayla’s Fried Dough, cotton candy, lemonade, soft drinks and other treats from Nino’s Big Bite, the Green Palate and the Lunch Box – to keep the crowds sated.

Free fun for all ages is always available, including live animals to pet (we’re talking Stephanie’s irresistibly adorable baby goats and rabbits, folks), along with a bounce house, animal and flower balloons by Button Down Balloons and oversized games like giant checkers, Mancala and Kerplunk, hosted by the Red Hook Public Library. Some rides may be ticketed.

Live entertainment on the stage in the Village municipal parking lot begins at 11 a.m. with Solas An Lae; then enjoy an afternoon of Celtic Heels Irish Dance, Dream Studio Dance, the McCann Band and the Stringmasters Country Band.

Sponsored for the past 18 years by the Red Hook Rotary Club, the communitywide event gives everyone a good reason to crawl out of our winter abodes and take in some duly deserved sunshine. But watch the weather forecast and dress appropriately, because Apple Blossom Day is on, come rain or shine.

– Ann Hutton Apple Blossom Day, Saturday, May 11, 10 a.m.-4 p.m., Red Hook; (845) 7502254.

Drowsy Chaperone opens May 10 at County Players’ Falls Theatre On the region’s longest-running and best-equipped theater companies, County Players in Wappingers Falls presents a production of The Drowsy Chaperone, a parody of and homage to the American musical comedy of the 1920s. With book by Bob Martin and Don McKellar and music and lyrics by Lisa Lambert and Greg Morrison, the story concerns a middleaged musical theater fan. As he plays the record of his favorite musical, the (fictional) 1928 hit The Drowsy Chaperone, the show comes to life onstage. The plot incorporates mistaken identities, dream sequences, spit takes, an unflappable English butler, an absent-minded dowager, a Broadway impresario, comic gangsters, a ditzy chorine, a harried best man and

Phoenicia Playhouse stages Marjorie Prime through May 19 If you could purchase a “copy” of a deceased loved one, would you? Well, my answer is an immediate and nonnegotiable “No,” and I don’t know why I have to see a play about it, but I am sure Marjorie Prime gets as deep inside the moral, emotional and scientific implications as any curious and speculative mind would care to go.

The New Yorker says so: “[Marjorie Prime] has all the hallmarks of the best science fiction; it’s clever, alive with humor, surprising...and terribly haunting.”

The Phoenicia Playhouse stages Jordan Harrison’s 2015 Pulitzer finalist drama on the first three weekends in May. Directed

by Michael Koegel, this production stars Prudence Garcia Renart, Rebecca Brown Adelman, Phillip X. Levine and Austin Lightning Carrothers. Friday and Saturday shows begin at 8 p.m., Sunday matinées at 2 p.m. Tickets cost $20, $18 for students and seniors.

NIGHT SKY

Escaping How to get away from a black hole

M

any Americans are seeking a way to extricate themselves from a dire situation. A person many consider criminal somehow assumed the presidency, despite having lost the popular vote. How to escape this predicament? Others seek to escape personal poverty or illness. But physicists historically “thought big,” and often wondered whether humans could escape gravity’s clutches to seek their fortunes on another world.

They eventually figured out that to leave Earth permanently, an object must be hurled upward at just under seven miles per second – which became known as our planet’s Escape Velocity, a speed finally attained in the 1960s. Suddenly we were able to launch space probes to other worlds. It’s also exactly how we went to the Moon: by reaching that speed just above our atmosphere, and then coasting the rest of the way.

But what if someone had a rocket with an engine that could generate only wimpy power, but could do so for a long time? If the rocket could only go upwards at one mile per hour, could it ever wrench itself free from Earth’s gravitational glue?

The surprising answer is “Yes.” Even one mile per hour is enough to leave your creditors behind permanently, because the official escape velocity only applies to escaping via a dramatic short push, not a continually applied force. If the engines can keep firing, why, it could climb away at any slow speed it wanted.

With this in mind, let’s consider a black hole. Its gravity is so strong at its event horizon that the escape velocity equals the speed of light. Since light cannot escape, neither can anything else – or at least, that’s what you always hear.

But that’s wrong, because the escape velocity only refers to unaccelerated things like photons of light, which don’t have rocket engines. But a very powerful rocket that continually supplies a sub-light-speed acceleration could escape.

The real problem is that space/time is so completely distorted at a black hole’s event horizon that, from the outside universe’s perspective, an infinite amount of time must pass before the astronaut can even enter the event horizon, let alone emerge again. But if s/he did somehow, then when s/he did escape, s/he’d look around to see a universe that was now infinitely old – and, perforce, lacking life or energy.

Such an “escape” would obviously be a pointless adventure. We’ll do better to stick to the getaway tasks at hand.

Mother love Teaching Your Children Well

A

strong and passionate mythology surrounds motherhood: one that alternately glorifies the institution in sentiment and song, and at the same time pins our culture’s ills onto the failure of mothers to get their jobs done well enough. Incidentally, that job is both thankless and supremely rewarding – a dichotomy that no woman expects when she signs on. It comes with no guidebook, no training, no license or credential, and there’s no guarantee that mothering will be doable at all.

Why would any woman enter into this sacred contract to nurture a new being into adulthood in the first place? Women don’t know what they’re getting themselves into, but they do know something: For most women – and certainly, not all – there is that creative impulse to love a child. There is the curious imperative to sacrifice one’s singularity on behalf of someone new and helpless.

When Marilyn MacClellan turned 40, she’d been on the job as a nuclear engineer for 18 years. “I always wanted to be a mom, but I’d focused on college and then on my career, working swing shift at the power plant; I had no social life. A friend who asked me out to lunch told me that her sister just got approved to adopt a baby from China. She got my attention at that point. I had already looked into adopting in the State of Florida, but as an unmarried woman, I knew that the likelihood was slim and none. How could I ever adopt internationally? I talked with the sister, who told me about the agency they were using: Chinese Children’s Adoption Agency International. I didn’t overthink it, thank God. I went through the process, which took about a year to complete the dossier.

“You know, when you’re raising a kid, you become aware that the decisions you make can change everything. I’ve always said to my daughter Kiana that if I didn’t have lunch with my friend that day, we wouldn’t be here. None of this would be happening. I filled out the paperwork on April 1, and by August, I was in China bringing my little girl home. It wasn’t that I’d always dreamed of going to China.

It was a country that would entrust an older American woman with one of their treasures.”

“I had a baby shower given by all men; I was the only female in my department.

The other significant thing was that I literally came home from China and, within a short period of time, I quit my job – sold everything we had and moved to study Chinese medicine and acupuncture. Kind of a whim, but I always felt it was sort of divine intervention. And I wanted to spend time with her. It was a big change.”

Marilyn had a big family and was around kids all her life. “I thought I knew exactly how to be a mom: not a big deal. I was one of those people who’d think, ‘What do you mean your kid doesn’t like broccoli? What do you mean your kid doesn’t want to go to bed? Like, what are you doing wrong?’ I was very opinionated, though I kept it to myself. It was a rude awakening for me when Kiana was about 3 and she didn’t like anything I bought her to wear. I learned to pick my battles. I think the benefit of being 40 was that I’d already done my partying and had my night life. I just really wanted to be a mom. But raising a kid is a lot different than you think it’s gonna be.”

When asked if she was ready for Kiana to leave home and be on her own, she says, “You don’t think you’re going to be that empty-nester, but you totally are.

What happens is: Your whole schedule revolves around your children. Then there’s no transition from that to them going away to college. It was a gut punch, but at the same time, I knew I couldn’t sabotage my kid’s future. I had to suck it up and support her.”

They talk on the phone every day now, but Marilyn says that she had to switch from being the mother to listening to her daughter. “We think we know better.

We’re wiser; we’ve been through it all. But I knew, too, that her coming home and talking to me was optional. If I wanted to hear from her and be a part of her life, I needed to let her drive that.”

Kiana is now a 22-year-old college graduate. She and her mother recently went to China to visit her birthplace. Marilyn was aware that, no matter how well-adjusted and happy her daughter was, there would always be this question: “What happened?”

“I never wanted her to not love China or feel like it wasn’t a great country. This trip back, I had hoped that she would find what she needed; but the reality was that she would not come away with knowing who her parents were. I wanted her to see what a wonderful country it is, and how wonderful the people are. Just like we’re not our government, they are not the Communist government.”

Kiana talks about her experience. “I was 13 months old when I was adopted.

She never kept it from me. We read a book, Tell Me Again about the Night I Was Born, by Jamie Lee Curtis. I always knew I was adopted, but I also knew that my mom went through a lot to get me. Everybody goes through their preteens when everything is crashing down and your world is ending and hormones are kicking in and you’re questioning everything. I don’t think my experience was anything apart from the normal teenage angst.

“I don’t think I acted particularly bad compared to some of my friends, and compared to what I could have done. But we moved from Virginia to New York when I was going through it, and I really didn’t like my mom then, because she made me move as a freshman in high school. That’s your world. It’s everything you know.

“I think our relationship got stronger when I moved out. Our relationship had time to breathe; I was more of an independent adult. She had to get used to me not being around the house. And I had to get used to not having my mom know what I was supposed to be doing and having that order in my life. I call her every single day. I’ve gained a lot more respect for her, and for adult life, because it all hit me at once. Moving out was great, because we got to miss each other. And I have to remind myself every day that she’s human.”

11am-12:30pm The Springtime Fishing Camps:

DION OGUST | ALMANAC WEEKLY

The journey to the land of her birth came when the Chinese government hosted a heritage tour for Chinese children who have been adopted out of the country.

A group of adoptees and their parents was able to travel around and visit the orphanages where they’d lived. “I was the oldest person on the trip,” says Kiana, “and I was glad I was old enough to soak in more of what I was seeing and understand the culture I would have been living in, had I not been adopted. I didn’t have any expectations; I didn’t frame it in that way. It might be a little cynical, but I always thought of things like: lower expectations so that you’re pleasantly surprised. I got to meet one of my nannies who took care of me a long time ago. Going into it from neutral ground, you can only go up from there.”

She seems wise beyond her years. She says that she’s probably even more thankful to her mom for adopting her now. She lives in New York City: a very different scene from what she briefly witnessed in China. “I think I appreciate Western culture a little bit more, and all the advantages of living in the City.”

At the other end of the age spectrum, a 60+-year relationship between a mother and son is longer than most marriages. By the time they’re both officially seniors, their caring for each other takes on a reciprocal quality. Paul Leone meets his mother, Dorothy, for lunch once a week. They toast each other and sip a favorite cocktail, and talk about plans for another car trip to the coast of Maine or somewhere within easy driving distance. In his photos of Dorothy sitting in one of their favorite haunts, smiling over a plate of clams, she looks pleased to be alive and spending time with her beloved son. It’s sweet.

You know it hasn’t always been this pleasant. Sons and daughters have a way of choosing their own paths in life, often leading in a direction that causes a mother to worry. Dorothy was a single parent; Paul never lived with his father. “I grew up in Bridgeport, Connecticut, and went to NYU after high school. At that time, Dorothy was living in Southbury with my grandmother.

“I came out very young. I just marched into my high school and said, ‘I’m gay.’

This created a firestorm; other parents called my mother to complain about it. I could see that my mother was furious, but she actually told everybody off. She said, ‘He’s just being honest. He’s talking about who he is.’ She defended me to everyone.

It was her own struggle; it was 1970.

“My grandmother worked at the Dictaphone factory in Bridgeport, and one of her bosses had moved up to Vermont and bought a farm in the 1950s. We’d go up and stay there. We were a lower-middle-class family and couldn’t afford any big vacations. We had a station wagon, and we’d take car trips everywhere. My mother was an industrial nurse at the time, also working at a factory.”

Dorothy mentions taking Paul to California, to Disneyland. “That was a big trip!” he says. “I was 10 years old, and we did fly. It was really exciting. We stayed at the Disneyland Hotel and rented a big Impala to drive up the coast to San Francisco.

It was really fantastic. I remember being incredibly fascinated by all the hippies.”

Later, when Paul and his then-partner rented a place in Woodstock, his mother visited and fell in love with the town. “She was always included. My mother always accepted all my partners and became great friends with them. Impulsively, she bought a house here. As close and loving as we are now, we have gone to battle – like everything else, there’s good and there’s bad. All of it ironed out about six years ago. She said, ‘You are my cane, you are my memory. And thank you.’ We are both appreciative. It used to be a pain in the ass to hang out with her, and it isn’t anymore.”

Dorothy still drives herself to hair appointments. “She has me ride with her about once every two weeks and she asks, ‘How am I doing?’ Usually, I drive her in her car. I don’t feel comfortable saying, ‘You can’t drive anymore.’ I’d rather just say, ‘I’ll be your chauffeur; whenever you want to go, we’ll go.’ Since I work freelance, I can work anywhere, anytime.

“The driving thing – it’s going to be an issue at some point. But she still drives.

Her independence is what is keeping her alive. For instance, she won’t let me go shopping for her. I’ll take her to the store, and she’ll be holding on to her cart and will tell me, ‘Go get your own things. I’ll meet you out at the Beetle.’ I have to keep reminding myself that these are the good times, even though I’m watching as her mobility and memory are crumbling. But these are the good times. They are.”

Paul checks in with Dorothy every evening. In this act, the caring role is reversed.

He rings his mother at an agreed-upon time so that he can rest assured that she’s okay. If she doesn’t answer right away or call him back soon, he knows that something’s up. Thus far, the system hasn’t set off any alarms. They both know, however, that their time together shortens with the passing of each day.

This makes them the lucky ones – lucky to be aware of the precious thing they have, lucky to have been born and thrown together in this incarnation with but one mission: to know love in its most elemental manifestation. Mother love.

– Ann Hutton

Spirituality

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.

That someone could be waiting for you at Saugerties Animal Shelter. DAISY; 4-year old tiger cat girl whose caregiver had to go to an assisted living facility. So, sweet Daisy has to deal w/losing the person who loved her most and finds herself in strange territory; an animal shelter. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s understandable that Daisy is a bit shy; for now.

TURTLE; 6-year old tiger cat boy & one of the sweetest and most loving cats youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll meet! 2 very shy 1-year old Tortie Cats need a quiet home where they can be given the time they need to trust again.

LOLA; 12-year plus calico cat girl. Her mom passed away suddenly & doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand why her life has been turned upside down- sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now in a cage in a shelter.

Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a shy cat girl who needs someone whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll love & care for her just like her mama did. TIGER; very sweet 6-year old brown tabby cat girl whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d make a perfect addition to your loving family. 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 itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll 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. Kittens ARE COMING! LACY; 7-year old female pittie mix. Very sweet and low energy. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a doll! SA-
