Amazing dogs on screen in Buddy at Rosendale Theatre MELISSA SURPRISE OF SURPRISE PHOTOGRAPHY

EVENT

MEMORIAL AND FREE CONCERT IN MEMORY OF ERICA CHASE-SALERNO IN NEW PALTZ ON JUNE 16 The Rosendale Theatre Collective presents Heddy Honigmann’s documentary Buddy on Wednesday, June 12. Honigmann, who has had retrospectives at MoMA and the Centre Pompidou, turns her eye to the relationships between dogs and people. Depicted are six pooches that do amazing things: They open and close drawers, turn their mistress over in bed, remove paper from the computer printer, push a syringe into flesh, put on a woman’s socks and pull up her blanket. They soothe a veteran with PTSD and a severely autistic child. Rotten Tomatoes called Buddy “an ode to the fighting spirit of the main characters and a loving portrait of the deep bond between man and dog.” Buddy is shown in partnership with the Ulster County SPCA.

down on all their less-serious age peers. Picture a couple of Californian Hermione Grangers and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got the gist. When an overheard school-bathroom conversation brings Molly to the shocking realization that even the kids who like to party have been getting into Ivy League colleges, she determines that she and Amy must experience at least one night of decadence before they head off to a summer of volunteer work in Botswana and then Yale and Columbia, respectively. So they set out to find the raunchiest graduation party in town, but are of course sidetracked multiple times en route. In other hands, this could have been a retread of overly familiar ground, reliant mainly on gross-out humor. But thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a refreshingly feminist sensibility at play here, which ramps up by the third act into a transcendent humanization of the clichĂŠd cliques of adolescent angstfests. More than how to have fun, Molly and Amy direly need to learn to open their hearts to the kids they disdain as mean girls, jocks, sluts, rich kids, theater geeks and so on. They also need to learn how to go on being best friends without staying stuck in their roles as the overbearing one and the passive one. Booksmart is not immune to some of the failings of this genre. While the

manac appears.) You can scarcely be blamed if you avoided Booksmart at first because you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think the world really needed another movie about teenagers feeling compelled to party their brains out on the eve of high school graduation before grappling with the real world. But you might want to give this one a chance. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d bet that word-of-mouth is going to give it legs as 2019â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s answer to Lady Bird. At the hands of a female director, it satisfyingly subverts and inverts some of the dudebro tropes that we associate with the teenexcess rom/com subgenre. Beanie Feldstein, dudebro comedy stalwart Jonah Hillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s immensely talented little sister, got her big breakout role as Julie, the title characterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sidekick in Lady Bird. Now she has wisely been given a vehicle of her own. In Booksmart she portrays Molly, the valedictorian of the Class of 2019 at a mostly upper-middleclass high school somewhere in LA. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a driven, no-nonsense superstudent on track to become a Supreme Court justice. Amy (Kaitlyn Dever), her best friend since forever, is almost as intensely academic. Molly is heterosexual, Amy a recently out lesbian, but both are virgins, and neither has ever so much as smoked a joint. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re politically â&#x20AC;&#x153;woke,â&#x20AC;? break no rules and look

teens are more nuanced human beings than weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re used to, the adults are mostly one-dimensional ciphers, as irrelevant to the story as the blatting brassinstrument sounds that served as the voices of grownups in the TV iterations of the Peanuts comic strip. There are the obligatory vomiting scenes and awkward gropings amongst the sexually uninitiated, though we are spared the usual emphasis on horny young men â&#x20AC;&#x153;scoring.â&#x20AC;? As with Lady Bird, probably the most glaring narrative weakness here is the socioeconomic insularity of these teensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; world; their challenges are very much First World problems, and if there are any poor kids at this school, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see them at all. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Seeingâ&#x20AC;? and being â&#x20AC;&#x153;seenâ&#x20AC;? are up-to-theminute buzzwords that are going to fix Booksmart at a particular point in time. So will the movieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ubiquitous reliance on electronic devices and social media â&#x20AC;&#x201C; no wild party or heartrending argument can go untaped and unstreamed in the world of the contemporary teenager, it seems â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the fact that pretty much every male character moonlights as an Uber or Lyft driver (though the latter is probably as much an LA car-culture thing as a 20-teens thing). In the same way that John Hughesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Brat Pack movies typify the 1980s for us onscreen, I expect that someday people will be pointing back to Booksmart as iconic of the time weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re

in right now. Eventually, I suppose, it will even seem quaint. Cinematic high points in this film include a partially animated scene in which Molly and Amy have been slipped hallucinogens and perceive themselves as transformed into Barbie dolls, with amusing results, and a swoony, goofy, slomo fantasy dance sequence straight out of La La Land. Here’s the real reason to go see Booksmart: the witty script. Teamwritten by Emily Halpern, Sarah Haskins, Susanna Fogel and Katie Silberman, with input from the highly talented roster of young actors to keep it all sounding real coming out of the mouths of youth, this screenplay is studded with hilarious oneliners and relentless banter that keep things moving along with verve. It’s a fine example of what fresh takes can happen when women are given plenty of places at the table in the writers’ room. They walk in; we walk out with a bounce in our steps. – Frances Marion Platt

Sultan played hand percussion with Jimi at Woodstock and on a couple of Holy Grail Hendrix bootlegs featuring a Sultan composition. With the multi-instrumentalist Ali Abuwi, he helped form the Aboriginal Music Society, a loose assembly of players who prided themselves on absolute inclusiveness (“Any Song, Any Key, Anywhere” was their motto). Hendrix dropped by to play with him in 1969, a few days before the Woodstock festival, resulting in a much-bootlegged jam session. Juma’s albums with the Aboriginal Music Society include Whispers from the Archives and Father of Origin. Per usual at the Falcon, there is no cover charge, but generous donation is what makes this jewel of a venue work.

HISTORY On the rise Founders’ Day in Fleischmanns on Saturday marks 150 th anniversary of a yeast-fueled Catskills haven

art of the Delaware County Town of Middletown, straddling Route 28 a little northwest of the Belleayre Mountain Ski Center, the village of Fleischmanns only has about 350 year-round residents nowadays; but its history is something to celebrate. Bakers, baseball fans and New Yorker readers all owe the place a debt of gratitude, whether they know it or not. The Catskills hamlet will receive its due praise this weekend, as the annual fête known as Founders’ Day marks Fleischmanns’ sesquicentennial. A parade featuring firetrucks, area scout troops and local marching bands, an 1890s-period baseball game featuring the Mountain Athletic Club Vintage Base Ball squad and a baking competition judged by Bread Alone’s own Dan Leader are among the activities planned, mostly taking place on Saturday, June 8. Fleischmanns was initially called Griffin Corners, after a prominent local attorney and businessman. In the late 18th century, the land belonged entirely to General Henry Armstrong and was populated by tenant farmers until the land reforms that followed the Anti-Rent War of 1844/45. It was accessible only by plank road from Kingston until the Ulster & Delaware Railroad reached the area in 1870. Thirteen years later, the family after whom the village took its current name arrived and began building a sprawling, elegant country retreat: a pair of brewer brothers, Hungarian Jews who immigrated from Austria, named Charles and Maximilian Fleischmann.

The Fleischmanns touted their product – America’s ﬁrst commercially produced yeast – to millions at the 1876 Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia, and then built a thriving attraction called the Vienna Model Bakery on Broadway in New York City.

They had already made a fortune in the business of standardizing yeast. While craft microbreweries today may revel in the serendipity of new beer flavors arising from ambient wild yeast strains, bakers in 19 th -century America were struggling with unpredictable results. The Fleischmanns developed a process for manufac turing compressed yeast cakes that made consistent quality control easier for commercial and home bakers alike, and in 1868 they built a plant in Cincinnati, with help from an American investor named James Gaff. They touted their product – America’s first commercially produced yeast – to millions at the 1876 Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia, and then built a thriving attraction called the Vienna Model Bakery on Broadway in New York City. By the time the brothers decided to establish a summer home in the Catskills, money was no longer an object. Only one building, called Spillian, survives today of the 160-acre hillside compound of five mansions that Charles and Max Fleischmann built, which originally

Bakers, baseball fans and New Yorker readers all owe the Fleischmanns a debt of gratitude, whether they know it or not.

Only one building, called Spillian, survives today of the 160-acre hillside compound of ﬁve mansions that Charles and Max Fleischmann built, which originally included a trout pond, a riding stable and a heated pool.

included a trout pond, a riding stable and a heated pool. But in 1914, shortly after the village incorporated and changed its name, Charles’ son Julius donated a park and ballfield to the community, known formerly as the Mountain Athletic Club and today as Fleischmanns Park. The family had also built a train station and post office. And their stately getaway became a model for upscale hotels and boardinghouses throughout the Catskills that throve until the rise of affordable air travel. As late as the 1940s, sleepy Fleischmanns’ population was said to rise to 10,000 or more in summertime. In 1924, the brothers’ nephew Raoul Fleischmann, a friend of editor/ publisher Harold Ross, used some of the family wealth to fund the launch of The New Yorker. He was listed as the magazine’s publisher until his death in 1969. The Fleischmann’s Yeast company was acquired by J. P. Morgan’s Standard

Brands in 1929 and became known as the sponsor of the musical variety radio program known as The Fleischmann’s Yeast Hour starring Rudy Vallée. It went on to revolutionize the yeast business yet again during World War II, by introducing the first shelf-stable granular yeast, requiring no refrigeration. Fleischmann’s Active Dry Yeast is still the standard product for home bakers, found in every supermarket in its distinctive yellow packet. The brand has changed hands numerous times, and is now the property of the food conglomerate AB Mauri North America, which is sponsoring this year’s Founders’ Day festivities in Fleischmanns. The weekend’s events will be kicked off by a reception and panel from 6 to 8 p.m. on Friday, June 7 at Spillian, where panelists will discuss the area’s history, the Fleischmann family and local connections to baseball. The Fleischmann family were early boosters of major league

he legacy and influence of the German Baroque composer Johann Sebastian Bach are so monolithic, so pervasive and inescapable, that it is almost hard to believe it wasn’t ever thus. But it wasn’t ever thus. For more than a century after his death, J. S. Bach was more a cognoscenti pick, an insider’s favorite, and the secret weapon in the arsenal of subsequent composers. He was not a staple of the popular repertoire. My mother’s judgment that Bach is “cold and mathy” (I can hear my late father groan still) was actually chillingly close to what popular audiences in Europe felt. Bach, to that age, tasted more like medicine than music – until something happened.

Bach found his most receptive audience a century-and-a-half after his death. But even as late as the mid-19th

He meant to say Bach, of course, and his lover, the French novelist George Sand, reported that Bach was the only sheet music she ever saw resting on Chopin’s piano; but he didn’t feel that his listeners would get the reference. How things have changed. Now Sebastian, as he was known to friends and family, is the subject of his own festivals, season and longstanding mono-composer ensembles.

FESTIVAL

Mountain Jam at Bethel Woods

ne of the longest-running and most popular rock music festivals in the Northeast, Mountain Jam has been in the news all season because of its decision to leave Hunter Mountain – the only home it has ever known – for the big shed and historic environs of Bethel. While that move is a big departure, the lineup is more like a big return to form, turning its back on the Brooklyn-psyched indie-rock that it had been flirting with for half a decade or so and roping in a lineup of roots, blues, jam and earthy singer/songwriter rock – in other words, homebase. Willie Nelson & Family and Phil Lesh & Friends represent the old guard of progressive American musical movements, while relative youngsters like the Avett Brothers bring more reverence for tradition to their roots. Ironies like that are just par for the course here. Warren Haynes is back on the scene, both as organizer and for two sets with the festival’s flagship band, Gov’t Mule. Speaking of flagships, Michael Franti and Spearhead are back after a one-year absence, and all is right in the world. There are other stunners in the lineup, like the great Alison Krause, the Revivalists, a number of progressive jam outfits like Joe Russo’s Almost Dead and his former partner-in-crime Marco Benevento. Toots & the Maytals bring the requisite reggae, and the Allman Betts Band brings the requisite…Allmans and Betts. And the time has come.

estival season is upon us and, in a coincidence that is not unprecedented, two of the titans of the field transpire on the same weekend. The folkcentric-but-adventurous-and-inclusive Clearwater Festival takes to scenic Croton Point on the weekend of June 15 and 16. Since its quite substantial initial announcement, the Clearwater lineup has been augmented… quite substantially! Mavis Staples joins Ani DiFranco and the Wailers on the marquee. Other adds include new folk standouts Birds of Chicago, Chapin McCombs Chapin, a folk trio featuring the devilishly good indie songwriter Cass McCombs and a couple of folk-royalty Chapin sisters, Lily and Abigail. Railroad Earth is one of the most popular pop-leaning folk acts of the last decade. Two of the locals on the bill – the Mammals and the Big Takeover – have national reputations big enough to be offended by the word “local,” but I can’t help where they’re from. The lineup adds have really elevated this festival to “must-see” status for anyone interested in the current state of culturally and politically potent folk and roots music in the tradition of and under the auspices of the great Pete Seeger. Weekend passes run from $100 to $155, day passes from $65 to $90. There are, of course, add-ons such as camping and sails aboard the Clearwater.

NIGHT SKY

Jupiter pays a close visit It’s in a strange place!

alileo, back when he was 46, watched his life change in 1610. Indeed, events that year were destined to change the entire world. They involved the colossal planet Jupiter, which on Monday, June 10, is at its brightest and closest to Earth. When Galileo heard that a Dutch eyeglass-maker had created the first telescope, he was one of the few people who, sight unseen, could duplicate the instrument. Galileo quickly turned his telescope to the sky. The Moon – regarded since ancient Greek times as a smooth body with seas – was now clearly pockmarked with mountains and craters. The Milky Way’s creamy glow burst into untold separate stars. Wonder upon wonder. But it was Jupiter, shining brilliantly in Taurus in January of 1610, that proved the most amazing and controversial. Galileo saw four “stars” lined up alongside the dazzling planet, and watched them change position each night. He realized that they were orbiting around Jupiter. This, happening 409 years ago, was no small thing. At the time, Church doctrine insisted that the Earth is the center of all motion. That here was another planet, around which several other bodies circled, degraded Earth’s status in an unacceptable way. The stage was set for a life-or-death drama. As it turned out, Galileo saw no benefits after he quickly published his startling discoveries. Instead, it brought him up on charges, forced him to recant at penalty of being burned at the stake, got him placed under permanent house arrest and left him to die penniless. Today, anyone can duplicate Galileo’s sightings, and without all that burnt-at-the-stake anxiety. The cheapest backyard telescope lets us clearly observe Jupiter and its four huge ever-changing moons, now named the Galilean Satellites in his honor. Indeed, today’s worst instruments far exceed Galileo’s best telescope, because back in 1610 no one had yet figured out how to get rid of the false smudgy color that plagued the early optics. There simply isn’t a better time to watch Jupiter than now, or a better time to contemplate it. Jupiter is large enough to swallow up 1,100 Planet Earths. Its gravity makes you weigh double what the scale says in your bathroom. And while its orbital speed is only half of ours, keeping it in the same constellation for a full year, it rotates faster than any other planet, creating horizontal cloud formations like the spin-art at carnivals. Few realize it, but the Earth has crude cloud belts, too. Our Equator is generally cloudy. But 25 to 30 degrees north or south of there bring vast arid zones that include the Sahara and Atacama Deserts, and the great dry area of our Sonoran Desert that extends into northern Mexico. Going further north or south brings frequent clouds again. Our own horizontal bands are broken, patchy and often overlooked. But Jupiter’s frenzied spin, 25 times faster than ours, makes its own dark belts and white zones unrelenting. With any telescope and a steady night when the stars don’t twinkle, all this detail

find new country and crossover stars like Tyler Rich and country rockers like Lanco. Modern country can sometimes seem like a parallel universe, with its own drinking fountains and everything; but many of today’s country artists express affinity with what’s going down in hip hop while they also fight to reclaim country’s half of the rock ‘n’ roll equation and in so doing restore some of the rough edges to what is arguably an overgroomed genre.

springs into view. With white ovals and turbulent boundaries where belts and zones rub against each other, plus the Great Red Spot, Jupiter shows far more detail through amateur telescopes than any other planet. As for finding it, this is a no-brainer. It’s the brightest star in the sky, by far, and it’s out all night long. Anytime after 10 p.m., look low in the southeast. It’s in the “forgotten” 13th zodiacal constellation, the strange serpent-holder Ophiuchus, and it’s floating just to the left of the famous red star Antares. Around midnight it’s due south. What could be easier? So, put aside any astro-insecurity. Don’t say or think, “I wonder if that’s Jupiter.” If it’s far brighter than the other stars, and kind of lowish, be confident.

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

A word on worms Non-native earthworms threaten mountain laurels, rhododendrons and blueberries

harles Darwin did some of his best work lying on his belly in a grassy meadow: not daydreaming, but closely observing the lives and work of earthworms. All this lying about eventually led to the publication of his final book, The Formation of Vegetable Mould through the Action of Worms. Darwin calculated that earthworms brought 18 tons of nutrientrich castings to the surface per acre per year, in so doing tilling and aerating the soil while rendering the nutrients more accessible for plant use. I wouldn’t find that many earthworms

The last glacier, which receded about 12,000 years ago from the Hudson Valley, wiped out all our native earthworms. at work in my own grassy meadow. The last glacier, which receded about 12,000 years ago from the northern parts of the US, including here in the Hudson Valley, wiped out all the earthworms. Darwin’s meadow was spared because glaciation didn’t reach as far south as where Darwin’s home eventually stood. Not that there aren’t now any earthworms here. Mostly, these are nonnative species that arrived over the past couple of hundred years and continue to arrive as fishing bait, ship ballast and in soil clinging to the roots of transported plants. Some native earthworms may also have made it up here from New Jersey – not many, though, with their estimated top travel speed of less than six yards per year. These non-native earthworms are of concern because of the rapidity with which they gobble up organic matter.

Readers of this paper may have noticed the absence of my gardening column here over the past few months. Well, I’m still gardening. After 35 years, I am no longer writing weekly for Ulster Publishing. It’s been great. I’ve enjoyed reader feedback, and the writing provided the experience and confidence to segue from working as an agricultural scientist for Cornell to going on to write for other media outlets and authoring a number of books. I haven’t given up writing to share what’s going on in my garden and ideas for what you might do or observe in your own backyards. I will continue to write an occasional Almanac Weekly column and contribute to Ulster Publishing’s special sections. For a more frequent dose of my garden writing, turn to my weekly blog posts at www. leereich.com/blog. Here’s something from me and my garden for this week. Keep an eye out for more. Thanks for reading. – Lee Their voracious appetites threaten the mountain laurels, rhododendrons and blueberries that thrive in the organic matter – the leafy mulch – that blankets the forest floors in our nearby Catskill Mountains and Shawangunk Ridge. Those invasive species could effect a change in the landscape we view as we drive along mountain roads and hike the trails. Back to my meadow, which I have

HEART ESSENCE OF THE VAST EXPANSE

SCHIZOFORM

also spent a lot of time observing – but from a standing position, usually with a scythe. Most years the meadow receives a oncea-year mowing, usually in late autumn, with a tractor. (Early on, I mowed it all summer long with a scythe, but the rich soil encouraged lush growth that resulted in tennis elbow. I still scythe parts of the meadow, in moderation.) That once-ayear mowing is meant to forestall the encroachment of woody plants. In this part of the world, open land typically reverts to forest. At its best, my meadow presents a lush sea of green that contrasts nicely with the close-cropped areas of lawn near my home. A sinuous path mowed through the meadow, tracing out a different route each season, invites walking through it for more intimate exploration. (I refer to this as “Lawn Nouveau” in the grass-mowing chapter of my book, The Pruning Book.) Through summer, pale pink milkweed blossoms dot the meadow. Come late summer, purple flowers of beebalm cap the sea of green grass like ocean whitecaps. And then, later and on into autumn, various species of yellow goldenrod bloom in succession. In the cool of the morning, dew and morning sunlight bring sparkle to the show. A couple of seasons ago I noticed that beebalm and goldenrod were getting increasingly sparse, as were the grasses. Each year increasing amounts of multiflora rose, wild blackberries, poison ivy, even an occasional staghorn sumac were homing in, paving the way to a forest. Last summer I decided to tip the

balance back to meadow. My plan was simple: All I did was mow the field regularly to lawn height. Grasses, which are monocotyledonous plants with their growing point just below ground height, are pretty much the only plants that tolerate regular mowing (or, in the case of prairies, burning). Mow, and grass will come. This year, meadow grasses are already growing thickly and a couple of feet high. Looking closely, I see very little poison ivy and friends. I will be interested whether or not beebalm and goldenrod appear onstage later, in summer. Another season or two may be needed before they make their appearance. Our forest flora are dynamic. The nearby mountain laurels, rhododendrons and blueberries, meadows – all landscapes, in fact – are not forever, even without human encroachment. I’m not trying to maintain my meadow in a romanticized primordial state; I just like the look of the grasses, beebalm and goldenrods. The meadow also has a practical side. My scything provides hay for compost (along with some horse manure, a waste product of a local stable) and mulch. Taking the hay from limited and different areas each season allows time for the soil to regenerate itself. – Lee Reich Any gardening questions? E-mail them to me at garden@leereich.com.

n Spiritual Rebel, Rhinebeck author Sarah Bowen lays out a rich, personalized and eminently practical guide for the daily cultivation of spirituality, or whatever you want to call it. Her target audience is anyone who has felt shunned or alienated by religion and its institutions, anyone with a bit of attitude, anyone who doesn’t necessarily like to be told what is true.

prescriptions. This prelude and pretext moves elegantly from a compressed personal narrative of struggle and awakening through some sharp cultural commentary and Campbellian pop-culture mythic synthesis and finally toward a philosophically grounded mission statement that informs everything that follows – and does it quite well. The unpretentious, likable cogency of these introductory pages invests the rest of the book – her method – with a formidable authority and deep coherence. I thus suggest that if you, like me, are not given to lists and have never been able to stick to prescribed methods unless room and board depend upon them (that’s my rebellion acting up, I guess), do not

discount this work of concise, breezy but broadly documented contemporary spiritual inquiry. It stands solidly on its own as a work of philosophy and critique, quite apart from the methods and techniques it proffers. It should be taken as a book of big ideas and not dismissed as another hyperbolic non-Western panacea for Western anxiety and emptiness. Bowen’s most reductive and readyfor-a-bumper-sticker definition of what spirituality means to her makes it into Spiritual Rebel’s subtitle: A Positively Addictive Guide to Finding Deeper Perspective & Higher Purpose. It turns out that there is a lot going on in this subtitle that you won’t quite grok until you read further: “Positively” speaks to Bowen’s blanket endorsement of all systems and myth-sets in which her readers might find spiritual meaning, resonance and community – even the most silly and free

myth itself – that brings us to the heart of the matter. “Addictive” references her own “fall” story of estrangement from communities of faith and family, her flat rejection of religious dogma and her descent into a material life saddled with addiction and anger. A voracious pursuit of interfaith study, synthesis and practice is the addiction on which she ultimately settled. The ampersand, with its subtext of unsanctimonious casualness and timesaving concision, tells us that this is a book that caters to the pressures and fits into the slots of a modern life. But these words are Bowen’s thesis: Finding Deeper Perspective & Higher Purpose. If spiritual guides too often appeal to the vanities of privilege, selling us a “better you” in terms barely different from those used by luxury car manufactures, this one is different. “Deeper perspective” is her call to introspection and – more to the point – to defeat habitual ways of seeing and feeling and inhabit the moment. “Higher purpose” is Bowen’s steady insistence that some good come from your deepened perspective, that it manifest in action, connection and compassion. The best rebels, Bowen argues throughout, define themselves by what they stand for, not against. Bowen is wonderfully attuned to the paradoxes of spirituality. Especially important to me is her well-considered sensitivity to the nature and role of language in the pursuit. Paradoxes are the hazards of the road when trying to name and discuss “that which cannot be named,” and Bowen rightly observes that a rigid, unreflective adherence to loaded spiritual terms and linguistic structures can be the ultimate buzzkill. Still, she has ample respect for the slippery role that language does play in spiritual growth. Many of her exercises use language to uncover hidden assumptions and to find the personal locus of spiritual resonance for each reader. It is a broadly inclusive approach, but not to the point of meaninglessness. As for the exercises, let us just say that deadlines have not permitted me to get far into them, but this curmudgeon offers his piqued interest as perhaps the most compelling endorsement that he can offer any work of this kind.

VEGAN COOKING CLASS & BOOK TALK WITH REBECCA MILLER FFRENCH IN KINGSTON

ebecca Miller Ffrench is a cookbook author, recipe developer and events planner whose latest project is Upstate Table’s soon-to-open events studio in Kingston. A contributor to national publications such as Parents and Shape magazines (and Condé Nast’s Cookie magazine) and one-time cooking teacher at a New York City public middle school, Ffrench knows her way around a kitchen and a publishing house. Now she has teamed up with Alexandra Shytsman to co-author the Natural Gourmet Center’s first cookbook, titled The Complete Vegan Cookbook, with Jonathan Cetnarski and photographs by Christina Holmes. Bleucashew on North Front Street has created an in-store class in which Ffrench will instruct hungry CHRISTINA HOLMES participants in prepping and cooking Rebecca Miller Ffrench has teamed up with Alexandra Shytsman to co-author techniques for some of the Center’s the Natural Gourmet Center’s ﬁ rst cookbook, titled The Complete Vegan Cookbook favorite plant-based dishes, including sunflower pâté and seeded crackers, spinach and shiitake bacon salad, seared tofu with cilantro orange dressing and coffee flan for a light dessert. As a one-time student at the Center’s culinary nutrition program, Ffrench approached her book agent and suggested that the school should have a cookbook. Working with her co-authors, she figured out how to turn an entire curriculum into an accessible book for the home cook. “Writing books for chefs, you’re handed basic notes that need to be turned into recipes. Sometimes they’re handwritten, sometimes with no amounts,” she says. “In this project, the notes for various dishes were of large quantities of food and had extra steps for the students to learn, all of which needed to be distilled into information that would be important for the home cook.” The resulting book is a comprehensive offering of 150 basic recipes, covering everything from entrées to desserts, all of which are plant-based. “The emphasis here is less about being a vegan than it is simply for showing people how they can eat an all-plant-based diet. It’s not about ‘You need to not eat this because it’s bad for you!’ Instead, it’s ‘Let’s celebrate vegetables and this is how easy it is.’ It’s so overwhelming to say you can’t eat this and that. We approached it as how to incorporate as many plant foods into your diet, and doing it very slowly. For example, doing one main course per week or replacing one dairy product with a nut-based milk or cheese. It’s about moving slowly and not feeling overwhelmed, and not thinking ‘I can’t.’” Ffrench says that her mother cooked dinner every night; sometimes it was vegetarian, but meals were very dairy-heavy in the Midwest. “To this day I love dairy, but what was key to my growing up was that my mother did not buy processed foods. It was whole foods, fresh vegetables. We never had stuff from a box or frozen entrées. In this niche, nothing’s to say you can’t eat meat, you can’t eat dairy. But if you want to cut down on [animal products] for environmental reasons, for animal welfare, for your health...” This Saturday evening, Ffrench will discuss using whole seasonal ingredients to produce tasty, powerfully nutritious meals. She’ll also touch on methods for sourcing sustainable food choices. This class is a hands-on affair, so plan to wash, chop and sizzle your way to a surprisingly delicious and filling meal. – Ann Hutton Cook with Rebecca Miller Ffrench, Saturday, June 8, 6-9 p.m., $95 (includes workshop/recipes/signed copy of The Complete Vegan Cookbook), bluecashew Kitchen Homestead, 37 North Front Street, Kingston; (845) 514-2300, http://bluecashew.com/ events, http://rebeccamillerffrench.com.

This fifth annual event is free and open to everyone. Volunteers are asked to bring their smartphones and put them to use cataloguing and photographing the species of the Thorn Preserve. You’ll learn about life in the stream, animal tracks, birds, trees, mushrooms, wildflowers, reptiles and amphibians, butterflies, bees and, on Friday night, moths, frogs, bats and owls. This is a great learning opportunity for individuals and families and a fun day out in the field (kids are welcome, dogs are not). A “base camp” tent will offer a place to gather, relax, peruse guidebooks, collaborate, discuss finds and compile data. Biodiversity is a powerful indicator of environmental quality. An ecosystem under any kind of stress, such as pollution or habitat fragmentation, will show a drop in biodiversity. Data collected at the BioBlitz is used to study the changes that occur at the Thorn Preserve over time and to make thoughtful management decisions to preserve the biodiversity of the habitat.

Paddle Fest at Kingston Point on Saturday, Kenco on Sunday

Long before he got elected mayor of the City of Kingston, Steve Noble was introducing locals to the joy of kayaking, leading regular outings from Kingston Point Park. As an environmental educator employed by the City’s Parks and Recreation Department, he was also a driving force behind the Kingston Paddle Fest, which has established itself over time as the Hudson River’s largest annual kayak festival. Kenco Outfitters, the outdoor recreation supply retailer (and kayak/ canoe rental outlet) on Route 28, con-

tinues to sponsor this fun, educational event year after year. You’ll find both boosters of musclepropelled rivercraft on hand once again this weekend, along with plenty of experts who can help you learn to paddle or decide what kind of kayak is best for you, as Paddle Fest 2019 manifests in two locations over two days. On Saturday, June 8 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Kingston Point Beach, Mayor Noble and Kingston Parks and Rec’s KC Keegan Twombly will lead guided kayak tours. Kayaks, paddles and PFDs will be provided, and if the weather cooperates, you’ll get a chance to enjoy some of the splendors of nature surrounding Kingston Point, where bald eagle sightings are not uncommon. There will also be various clinics, lessons and demonstrations on Saturday. You can test-paddle kayaks from various manufacturers including Wilderness Systems, Dagger, Perception, Hurricane, NuCanoe and Jackson, and get a feel for how they differ. Stand-up paddleboards from BIC Sport will also be available to demo. The cost to participate on Saturday is a $10 donation to the City of Kingston Environmental Education Program. To preregister, visit https://bit.ly/2MIeS83. On Sunday, June 9 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Kenco will host the second half of Paddle Fest, where you can talk with representatives from many different kayak, canoe and paddleboard manufacturers. You can also connect with the City’s Environmental Education Program, the Mid-Hudson Chapter of the Adirondack Mountain Club (ADK) and the Kingston Paddle Pals, an informal group that organizes regular social meetups on the water. The store itself will be offering discounts and show specials on kayaks, paddleboards, canoes, racks and accessories. Visit www.atkenco.com/info/ upcoming-events to learn more.

Perry Beekman Trio to play Ellington with Art Baron at Rosendale Café

Adam Sandler at Bethel Woods on June 23

Perry Beekman is a uniquely highend jazz talent, an adept guitarist with an exquisite “round” tone and fluency in all the trickery of jazz harmony. He is also an eminently likable singer/interpreter as well – one with an especially fine touch with Cole Porter and other staples of the high American songbook and musical theater tradition. As you might imagine, Beekman keeps good company. On Saturday, June 15, the Perry Beekman Trio plays the Duke Ellington songbook – in other words, probably the most formidable body of 20 th-century American music. Beekman will be joined by his regular compatriot, the great, sympathetic bassist Lou Pappas, and by trombonist Art Baron, a veteran of Ellington’s last big bands. Tickets cost $15.

One of the generation-defining comedic actors of his generation, Adam Sandler has climbed every entertainment industry mountain without ever losing that “just some dude you know” vibe. Almost all performers who got their start at the grind of standup feel driven to return to it from time to time, to reearn their stripes and relate to a live audience. Not many, however, play venues like Bethel Woods when they do. Sandler’s 2018 100 Percent Fresh Netflix live set was his first return to standup in 20 years. Now he is out on the road with the 100 Percent Fresher tour, which makes a stop at Bethel Woods on Saturday, June 23. Ticket prices range from around $49 for the Llawn up to well over $200 for really, really good seats.

New Woodstock Music Venue Becoming A Big Draw When Saint John’s Church at 12 Holly Hills Drive in Woodstock started a Concert Series earlier this year, it hoped to bring people together from across the broader community through Music. “We are thrilled with the support from the local community,” commented Bob Biamonte, the event coordinator for the Church. “We thought we had the opportunity to bring something special to our community. Our goal is to provide a beautiful acoustic venue for local artists and music groups and to bring people together for a positive experience through music. Our sanctuary offers a beautiful acoustic space with Cathedral ceilings and seating for over 400 people. Music is the universal language and Woodstock has a rich music culture. We love the positive vibe of people getting together and having a good time.”

The Church’s next Concert is June 15 at 7:30 PM and is featuring two local favorite bands, Trio Mio, and The Cupcakes. Tickets for this concert are priced at $10 and can be purchased in one of 4 ways: • Online on Eventbrite at: http://sjwoodstock.eventbrite.com or Find us on facebook at: @sjwoodstock.org or Go to our website at: https://sjwoodstock.org After All Masses at Saint John’s and Saint Augustine’s • 5PM on Saturdays at Saint John’s • 8AM, 11AM on Sundays at Saint John’s • 9:30 AM on Sundays at Saint Augustine’s • At the Rectory at Saint John’s Mondays- Friday between 10:00 AM-3:00 PM • At the gate on the day of the event Artists who are interested in performing at Saint John’s for the 2019 or 2020 season should contact Bob Biamonte at: biamonte@mac.com.

MILES YOUNGER

While visiting friends in Saugerties, Jennifer Hicks realized how much she loved the area and its combination of beautiful nature, village life and culture. “It’s unusual to have all of that together. And the people here are creative thinkers, and worldly.”

Jane St.” in Saugerties – named for the address where it’s located, just off Partition Street in the heart of the village. Housed in a renovated 19th-century warehouse that Hicks owns, the new

venture is designed to function as an arts incubator: a place where artists in residency can create new work in

performance and installation art and exhibit the results of their endeavors. “It doesn’t have to be brand-new work,” Hicks

says, “but it needs to be work developed with the space in mind. The idea is that people see the space and are inspired by it,

and are influenced by being in Saugerties.” The building isn’t zoned for living in, so residency artists will be put up in nearby accommodations within walking distance. The residency artists will offer classes and lectures to support the space, and their month of work will conclude with a show. With 11 Jane St. being so newly launched, Hicks says that she knows it will evolve over time. But having been involved with performance collectives for decades, and having run performance venues inside warehouses before, she knows the kind of atmosphere that she wants to foster. “There are a lot of galleries, but there’s something about having a space where you can create work, that you can work in. And to have the combination…” The ground floor at 11 Jane St. is divided into a front gallery, entered into off the street, and a rear gallery with a “sprung” dancefloor that acts like a shock absorber, designed for ease on a body doing movement and performance. The rear gallery will be used for performance art and movement classes as well as art installations, and the front gallery – at least through the end of the year – has been given over to Jen Dragon’s reimagined Cross Contemporary Art gallery, which until its recent closing was housed in a space on nearby Partition Street. The arrangement is open-ended at this point. “It might be awkward, or weird, having two galleries in the same space,” says Hicks. “I don’t know, but we’re going to give it a go until January and see how it works.” With no visible separation between the front and rear galleries, the plan is for Dragon to schedule shows for her part of the space that will complement the programming of installation and performance art that Hicks has already lined up for the rear gallery. It’s been a little more than three years since Hicks first purchased the warehouse on Jane Street and began the renovation process. When the building initially came up for sale, she says, she thought to herself, “I know nothing about refurbishing a building, and I’m probably out of my mind to do this, but I want to learn, and I’m going to take a chance.” Born and raised in Lawrenceville, New Jersey, Hicks earned undergrad degrees

in Fine Art in Boston and then moved to Boulder, Colorado, where she received an MFA in Contemporary Performance from Naropa University. When her father became ill and retired to Cape Cod, Hicks moved back to Boston to be closer and help care for him before he passed away in 2014. Free then to choose where she wished to live, while visiting friends in Saugerties, she realized how much she loved the area and its combination of beautiful nature, village life and culture. “It’s unusual to have all of that together. And the people here are creative thinkers, and worldly.” One of the things that Hicks particularly likes about Saugerties, she adds, “is that you can walk down the street and people say ‘Hello’ to you; which does not happen in Boston!” The 3,000 square feet of space on the ground floor of 11 Jane St. are matched by an equal amount upstairs, which Hicks is turning into studio space for herself adjacent to a multipurpose room that can be rented out for meetings (not parties). With nearly floor-to-ceiling windows, the rooms upstairs are flooded with natural light. The meeting area has a long table that seats 12 and a stove, microwave, refrigerator and dishwasher. It will be equipped with a coffee machine, whiteboard and Wi-Fi. Another small room will be more of a lounge, furnished with couches and suitable for working on portable devices. The workspace for residency artists is in the basement. Programming at 11 Jane St. includes video performance artist Andrew Neumann in June and a filmmaker in September who will build an installation and make a film in the space. Hicks will also do an installation in the space involving a performance that wraps around giant plastic bubbles of different sizes. Hicks also plans to offer movement classes based on Japanese Butoh dance theater, a discipline in which she has been working for nearly 40 years. “It’s image-based movement that works from poetic imagery,” she explains. “It’s not linear, not a story; more of a meditation. First you get the image, then you embody that and move with it, then get another

image, and try and match these; it’s like a Zen koan. Then you get a third image and start splicing these all together. It’s a very creative process.” Overall, Hicks says, she has a vision for 11 Jane St., but it’s not set in stone. “I know where I would like it to go, and it’s moving in that direction. Right now, it’s beautiful: a space for people to create work. And I’m hoping that by next year, if not sooner, the residencies will be set up and the artists will have a solid month that they can create work in the space and do a dialogue between the community and their work. Involving the community is huge to me; it’s a big deal. I don’t want to be an island. I really want this to be an open space, where the artist learns something from Saugerties and Saugerties learns something from the artist, and they can maybe talk to each other.” – Sharyn Flanagan

COLIN CHASE AND ANDREW NEUMANN SHOWS OPEN ON SATURDAY AT 11 JANE ST.

Jane St. in Saugerties presents two simultaneous art openings on Saturday, June 8. Gallery South features the work of sculptor Colin Chase, curated by Jen Dragon. Represented by the June Kelly Gallery in New York, Chase’s work uses a variety of materials and devices to encourage contemplation. Ideas, forms and textures are synergistically juxtaposed and nestled in incongruent combinations that challenge formal spatial logic. Chase’s work has been included in one-person and group exhibitions in several galleries including the Jamaica Arts Center, Socrates Sculpture Park, the Studio Museum in Harlem and the Neuberger Museum of Art. Gallery North features the work of Andrew Neumann, curated by Jennifer Hicks. Neumann works primarily in time-based media, combing disparate elements into hybrid sculptural pieces. He is also active as an electro/acoustic improvisor, working with both analog and digital synthesis. He is the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship and an LEF Foundation grant, among other awards. He has three recordings on Sublingual Records, and a new CD forthcoming. Last year he was a resident at A-I-R in Krems, Austria. In addition, he has been invited to the MacDowell Colony, Yaddo, the Ucross Foundation, i-Park, Djerassi and the Experimental Intermedia Foundation.

ART Portents in paint David Hornung’s mysteriously charged works on view at Elena Zang Gallery

“H

andmade Light,” opening on June 15 and running through July 2, is David Hornung’s first solo show at the Elena Zang Gallery, located in Shady, just north of Woodstock. The show consists of 23 paintings by the artist, who currently lives with his wife, children’s book author Ellen Tarlow, in Woodside, Queens. His mostly small, acrylic gouache paintings on handmade paper feel like epiphanies, though their formal language of colored shapes is of the utmost simplicity and their pared-down iconography of trees, shrubs, fences, logs, twigs, buildings, boats, stumps, rocks, ladders and the like is of the most ordinary kind, drawn from rural America. There’s a sense of mystery in these intimate, schematic landscapes, whose skies are frequently riven with lightning bolts, sunrays, portentous, oddly shaped clouds or, in the case of Hypothetical May

Morning 2, a descending bird in flight, breaking through the forest cover. Though it’s aimed at a yellow gable-roofed house, not the Virgin Mary, its journey seems no less charged with divine energy than the dove in medieval and Renaissance depictions of the Annunciation. (Hornung’s mother is a devout Catholic, and he credits his early experience with the Church with instilling his love of

emblematic art.) On the other hand, while the subject of the paintings seem tied to the momentous – each captures a particular time of day or weather event that suggests an impeding shift, the quiet before the storm – their language is rooted in the abstract: The quality of emotion resides in the intense, syncopated color harmonies and arrangement of shapes, which convey a sense of space from which

June 6, 2019 the recognizable emblems of a person, cloud or house emerge. Each element of the piece is essential to its structure, never extraneous, which frees our eyes and minds to revel in the beauty of a pure work of art whose pared-down content also grounds us in meaning. Hornung, who is 69, was raised in a working-class family in southeastern Pennsylvania and, from the age of 13, in Delaware. He attended the University of Delaware and spent a year at art school in London before earning his MFA at the University of Wisconsin. He taught at Rhode Island School of Design for many years and, after moving to New York City, also at Pratt, the Parsons School of Design and Adelphi University, where he was chair of the Art Department for several years. He continues to teach at Adelphi and just completed his revisions for the third edition of his classic book on color, Color: A Workshop for Artists and Designers, which will be published next spring. Hornung has also written about art and quilts – as part of his transition from painting abstractly to a more representational mode, in the early 1980s he made art quilts –and is curating a show of contemporary stitched art at the University of Nebraska. Almanac Weekly’s Lynn Woods recently interviewed Hornung: How is your medium, acrylic gouache, different from conventional gouache? The difference is that acrylic gouache is not reworkable, which means you can make infinite adjustments without bringing up the color underneath. The paintings look fresh and unlabored, but I make many adjustments. How do you begin a work? I start with color and moving paint around. Abstract notations and shapes suggest subjects. My fundamental shape language is fluid, which is why the figures are emblematic; they allow me to move freely between abstraction and representation. Some things coalesce into a reference, while other things remain shapes. There are shapes that almost become things, but not quite. It’s a matter of reference. The shapes in the sky read as clouds because of their location. I like to create varying degrees of closure so there’s a sense of discovery on the part of the viewer. It sounds like the process itself is about discovery. I try to surprise myself. If I’m not surprised, then the viewer will not be, either. I can’t fake it, so I try to keep the process as light and spontaneous as I can, even though the painting coalesces into specific images. Of all the traditional genres, landscape is the closest thing to abstract painting. Even a traditional landscape painter like Constable could only see objects in the foreground and had to invent an equivalent for everything else.

Sunday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday through October 27! Tours start at 1pm and the last tour 4pm. $8/adults; $6/srs, and $4/children (6-18 years of age).

ALMANAC WEEKLY In still life, you can transcribe in detail all the things you see, but landscape is intrinsically abstract; in the middle ground you might be able to see the tree still has leaves on it, but farther back you’re hanging on for dear life. While the color and relative scale of objects in your paintings convey a sense of space, the paintings are resolutely flat. You don’t paint objects in the foreground with more detail than those placed in the background, and your backgrounds aren’t more generalized than your foregrounds. Even though I’m painting in a landscape format or idiom, I think of my landscapes as still lifes, in that the mid-ground and background contain equal amounts of invention. Nothing overlaps. My point of view tends to be above eye level; I’m looking down into my subjects. I want the viewer to be able to regard each element as independent and interdependent. You recognize a form as a boat, and it therefore becomes iconic or prototypical, which is another reason I don’t provide too much detail; the less detail, the more iconic it is. Yet it’s also very specific. I try to make my pictorial references as specific as they can be without being realistically detailed. There’s also an interdependent relationship between the boat in, say, Waterland, to mention one example of a painting in the show, and the purple shape that adjoins it marking the line of the shore. They speak to each other.

extreme. Between these two parentheses the whole sentence of my art sits. The bird’s-eye point of view of your paintings reminds me of Japanese woodcuts. One reason I like the small figure in the landscape, which is more like how humans are depicted in Indian or Japanese art, is that it puts people in perspective in their relationship to a world in which we’re just one of many elements: We’re relatively insignificant. My view of humankind in relation to nature is not the heroic mode. Many of your titles suggest a preoccupation with mortality, such as Autumnal, Twilight, Theater of Expectation, Under Darkness, Last Light, Borderland and Valley of Shadows. In many there is a single contemplative figure, tiny in relationship to the landscape, and your palette often skews toward the darker end of the spectrum. The pieces emit a dark radiance. Although the interpretation of my work is fluid, they are a harbinger of mortality, which has always been my subject. I’ve been obsessed with mortality since I was 12 years old.

“Landscape is intrinsically abstract; in the middle ground you might be able to see the tree still has leaves on it, but farther back you’re hanging on for dear life.”

That formal interplay and resonance perhaps account for the energy in your art. Though it’s flat, there’s an inherent liveliness in each piece – even, strange to say, considering how small in scale they are, a sense of weather and spatial immensity. I try to create a sense of disequilibrium, in the way the paint is laid down and the way the figures are postured. I try to make them unstable, so there’s a sense of potential movement and transition. For a painting to be alive, it has to have these characteristics. I noticed that some of your work is more abstract, while in others the references are more fully realized. For me, painting is a bit like being a sailboat. If you want to reach a lighthouse, you can’t go straight for it; you have to tack from left to right. My tacking takes me between the two poles of abstraction and representation. Desert is the most abstract of the works in the show, and Valley of Shadows represents the other

You’ve spoken previously of the influence of Japanese and Chinese woodblocks, comic books and Mogul painting. What are others? I had an early interest in children’s art and that of the early Modernists, such as Klee, who were very interested in selftaught art. Self-taught artists don’t have the technical skill to create a convincing illusion, so they fall back on a flat language. Usually they’re not very good, but there are a handful in the world, such as Bill Traylor, William Hawkins, Morris Hirschfield and Joseph Garlock, who are great painters. I call it Essentialism: The most powerful aspects of a painting are those things that are essential to it. Clement Greenberg took this to a ridiculous extreme, by addressing only its flatness; but there are many aspects essential to painting that don’t involve a labored illusionism. The flatness of your work partly has to do with its matte surface and the lack of brushstrokes. The paintings look very graphic, almost as if they were printed. I don’t want to create a buildup of brushstrokes. The slightly disembodied aspect of my images complements my agenda, which is to create a dreamlike parallel universe. Not much materiality

interferes. You’ve said that you view painting as more akin to music than to language. Could you explain? I experience different levels of consciousness as I make a painting. The best analogy would be improvisational music, such as a sax solo by John Coltrane. In places, the melody comes into view, and elsewhere it disappears. You know the musician understands in some conscious part of his mind musical structure, harmony, rhythm, melody and pacing, but there’s no way he could access that in the moment he’s creating a solo. I work out of the unconscious in the heat of making. Afterwards, I sit down and look at it as a distanced observer. Did you have any artistic influences as a child? I grew up in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, and as a teenager was very influenced by Andrew Wyeth. My father knew him well, because he grew up in that town. One day my father was walking by Andy’s studio and helped him put out a fire, so Wyeth gave my father a drawing. It was the only original work of art in our house. My art education took me far away from the values of Wyeth’s art, but now I see the shadow of his work in my imagery. Your dad was a factory worker and your mom worked as a secretary at a reform school. You were the first person to go to college in your family. How did growing up working-class affect you as an artist? I was always intrigued by art, though my intellectual interests were an anomaly in my family. Being working-class made me admire people who had a craft, whether it was in music, comedy or theater. Consequently, I was never attracted to conceptual art. I’ve always had a deep respect for the art of the past. Many of the paintings have interrupted edges where they meet the paper, which breaks the sense of illusion, of the painting as a window into reality. I’ve been playing with this idea of confounding the hardness of the rectangle for two years. It’s hard to have the interrupted edges come naturally out of the painting process and not be a decorative element. I’m interested in levels of reality and simultaneous levels of perception. Because the paintings are so flat, they reveal everything I’m doing, the duality between fact and fiction – the fact being the paint itself, the way it’s applied, the dimensions and edges of the panel, and the fiction being it’s a tree and a mountain. I’m constantly negotiating the divide between fact and fiction. – Lynn Woods “Handmade Light: Recent Paintings by David Hornung, 2018-2019,” June 15-July 2, artist’s reception June 15, 2-5 p.m., Elena Zang Gallery, 3671 Route 212, Shady/Woodstock; (845) 679-5432.
