Ashokan Center hosts Poetry Barn’s Catskill LIT festival

The Poetry Barn will conduct its second annual writers’ retreat, called Catskill LIT, from Monday to Thursday, September 2 to 5, at the Ashokan Center. Poets, songwriters, prose stylists and storytellers will take over Ashokan’s inspirational 300-acre campus nestled amidst waterfalls, meadows and streams. Guests can commute, camp or stay overnight in solar-powered buildings that blend rustic charm with modern amenities. All packages include meals made from locally sourced ingredients. A full menu of workshops and activities is available à la carte, with fees starting at $20, once you’ve purchased your $25-per-day Festival Pass (ten percent off if purchased online by August 31 with the code GETLIT). The headliner/artist-in-residence for Catskill LIT is world-famous aerialist and award-winning writer Philippe Petit, who

will give a presentation on creativity at the retreat’s opening ceremony and also lead a workshop called “The Art of Writing.” Other workshops include letterpress and bookbinding with printmaker/book artist Maureen Cummins, songwriting and singing with musicians Jude Roberts and Julie Parisi Kirby and illustrated journaling with artist/writer/calligrapher Barbara Bash. Attendees won’t just be living in their heads; movement and music will also figure in many of the activities. PostTraumatic Press co-founder Alison Koffler-Wise will lead two “hike and write” expeditions: the first to the glacial Cathedral Gorge with its 80-foot waterfall and the second to a 19th-century writer’s cabin. Screenwriter/playwright/ novelist Nina Shengold will offer “Prose Rambles,” walks with writing prompts designed to blur the line between fiction and nonfiction. “Breathe. Read. Write.” with the New School’s Lisa Freedman and “Body Intelligence” with the Kingston Yoga Lab’s Cory Nakasue will combine movement, meditation, breath and writing exercises designed to recharge the right (or “write”) side of the brain. Musician-in-residence Phyllis Capello will offer ukulele lessons, the Vanaver Caravan’s Emily Vanston will offer dance instruction and Poetry Barn director Lissa Kiernan will offer poetry/wine pairings. There will be yoga in the mornings, swing dance, musical performances, readings and open mics in the evenings, swimming, canoeing and Ashokan’s famous wood-fired sauna. Sound dreamy?

For the first time, the audience will be invited to follow one of the master aerialist’s private daily practice sessions on the tightrope.

EVENT

ON THE HIGH WIRE WITH PHILIPPE PETIT ON SATURDAY

his Saturday evening, the Orpheum Film & Performing Arts Center in Tannersville will present “Open Practice: On the High Wire with Philippe Petit,” a rare opportunity to peer into the backstage secrets of a unique artist. For the first time, the audience will be invited to follow one of the master aerialist’s private daily practice sessions on the tightrope. Petit starts on the ground, demonstrating a selection of his warm-up movements essential to his best corporal behavior on the wire. Then, on an apparatus low enough for you to catch his features and the details of his gestures, he prefaces each crossing by explaining why each walk is different, and how these differences create a “progress program” conducive to artistic creativity. He shares stories about the creation of each major walk and shows the evolution of a simple move into a complex choreography. Petit concludes the demonstration, on the ground again, with a question-and-answer session. Philippe Petit has written ten books, including To Reach the Clouds, which recounts the adventure of his illegal high-wire walk between the twin towers of the World Trade Center. That walk was the subject of the 2009 Academy Awardwinning documentary film, Man on Wire, and also inspired Robert Zemeckis’ 2015 feature film starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Petit, The Walk. “Open Practice: On the High Wire with Philippe Petit” begins at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, August 31. Tickets cost $25 general admission, $20 for seniors and $7 for students if ordered in advance, $30 general, $25 for seniors and $7 for students at the door.

Sunday concert with fireworks and cannon fire wraps up West Point’s Summer Music Series

As is well-known among musicians, the Military Academy bands tend to be red-hot and stacked with serious players. The arts of war and brass, in particular, have always been closely allied. Although perhaps necessarily conservative in repertoire, the West Point Band never fails to bring the articulate thunder. They perform at West Point’s Trophy Point Amphitheater on Sunday, September 1, concluding West Point’s Summer Music Series with a Labor Day blowout on the banks of the Hudson. The bill also includes the Hellcats and the Benny Havens Band, topped off with a performance of the 1812 Overture with live cannon fire and a magnificent fireworks display. This concert is free, but getting into the Academy, per usual, requires a little additional legwork. Be sure to RSVP at the website below. – John Burdick Summer Music Series finale Sunday, Sept. 1, 7:30 p.m. Free/preregister Trophy Point Amphitheater West Point Military Academy Stony Lonesome Rd., West Point

EVENT

Woodstock-New Paltz Art & Crafts Fair at the Ulster Fairgrounds

veryone’s getting in on the commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the Woodstock festival while they still can, and the event producers at Quail Hollow are no exception. After all, Woodstock was officially titled a “Music & Art Fair,” wasn’t it? So, in addition to hawking any number of beautiful objects that will be calling your name and demanding to brighten up your home’s feng shui, the Labor Day 2019 edition of the Woodstock-New Paltz Art & Crafts Fair – its 75th visit to the Ulster County Fairgrounds – will put special emphasis on its live music offerings. There will be ten musical performers featured at the Entertainment Tent this weekend: more than at any previous iteration of the fair. Ratboy, Jr. kicks things off at noon on Saturday, followed by Shep & the Coconuts at 1:15 p.m., the beBhakti Band at 2:30 and guitar prodigy Myles Mancuso and his Band at 3:45. On Sunday, the music gets underway with All-She-Wrote featuring Larry Packer at noon, then takes a break at 1:15 p.m. for Bill Robinson’s Wildlife Show. The tunes return at 2:30 with the Phantoms, followed by Velvet Weekend at 3:45. Monday brings in Erick Erickson at noon, Vicki Russell at 1:15 p.m. and Lara Grant at 2:30. Featuring the handiwork of 200+ juried exhibitors, the fair is staged in two huge vendor tents and two long rows of outdoor craft booths, plus separate tents for furniture, architectural crafts, local wines, beers, ciders and spirits, specialty foods and healthcare products, crafts supplies and live demonstrations. Demos this weekend will include Adirondack furniture techniques, Chinese brush painting, Mexican rugmaking, silk painting, fiber-spinning, hammock-making, woven placemats and rugs, batik wall hangings, oil and acrylic painting, stained glass, lathe-turned bowls and pens and chip-carved jewelry boxes. Fair food is of unusually high quality, all prepared on-premises. Bringing the kids? There’s a hands-on crafts tent where you can leave them, safely supervised and busy, while you shop. The Woodstock-New Paltz Art & Crafts Fair opens to the public at 10 a.m. and closes at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, August 31 and September 1, and at 4 p.m. on Monday, September 2.

Rock opera Jesus Christ Superstar staged in Rhinebeck Andrew Lloyd Weber and Tim Rice’s enduringly popular rock opera Jesus Christ Superstar has reached late middle age, turning 50 this year. Imagined as an audacious and transgressive gesture in its own day, JCS

was never really all that radical musically, as even we kids of the early ’70s could tell – Ian Gillian’s brilliantly tortured scream and the white wahwah funk of “What’s the Buzz?” notwithstanding. Rock operas that come at the equation from the stage side have always been consigned to a certain lovable squareness: the sound of visceral rock ‘n’ roll getting stylized on the lips of theater people. On the other hand, rock operas that come at it from the rock side, however they may roll, are usually pretty clueless about

how to tell a story. Where Weber and Rice really did cross sensitive lines was in the ballsy retelling of the culture’s central and most volatile story, and their weirdly intuitive conflation of the Savior’s sacrifice and the mass-media-age phenomenon of the soul-selling superstar. It was one thing to take liberties with the remote tales of the Old Testament, as the pair had done with their first work, the quaint and likable Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat; but to jump from that right to the big J without even a quick warmup

Reggae Love Boat sails from Kingston’s Strand

f you dig reggae and you live around here, Leah Boss is your hero: the single reason that the Woodstock area has remained a hotbed of top-shelf reggae action for a number of years. Boss’ promotional alias, Upstate Reggae, is equally about the preservation of the reggae tradition (and she has landed just about every big name at one time or another) and the curation of the up-and-coming. Now that the Bearsville Theater is ominously dark, Upstate Reggae has taken to the water. The Reggae Love Boat sets sail on the Rip Van Winkle in Kingston on Sunday, September 1. This sunset cruise features music by Vybz Eurostar Lord and DJ Kevin, as well as Jamaican food included with the ticket price and a cash bar. Tickets cost $35 in advance (more at dock). Board at 5:30 p.m., because this love boat is sailing at 6 p.m., with or without you. – John Burdick

Emmy Award-winning, multiplatinum-selling recording artist Rachel Platten will join as special guest. The Texas-bred Pentatonix have sold nearly 10 million albums worldwide, in an age when 100,000 is a lot, and boast new media stats on the order of 15.5 million YouTube subscribers and views in the literal billions. And they are really good, too! Seated tickets will cost you about $40, and for $30ish you can grab however big a slice of lawn you are able to defend.

Solisti, a prolific touring and recording piano trio that specializes in the Romantic repertoire but is equally at home with the rigors of Haydn (the inventor of the piano trio), French impressionism and modern and cabaret music. The New Yorker declared Trio Solisti “the most exciting piano trio in America,” and this writer regards their 2005 recording of Brahms’ three trios to be among the most sensitive he has heard, thanks largely to pianist Fabio Bidini’s grace under pressure (Brahms is murder on pianists). Trio Solisti’s Maverick program essentially describes the direct line of Germanic descent, as Classicism gives way to Romanticism (leaving out the complicated matter of Beethoven): Haydn, Schubert and Schumann. Tickets cost $55 and $30 based on location, with the Maverick’s aggressive and future-looking student tickets set at $5. – John Burdick Trio Solisti Sunday, Sept. 1, 4 p.m. $55/$30/$5 Maverick Concert Hall 120 Maverick Rd., Woodstock https://maverickconcerts.org

Joshua Redman Quartet to revisit MoodSwing at the Falcon

The son of a maverick, influential Texas reedman by the name of Dewey Redman, Joshua somewhat surprised the jazz world by turning out to be more conservative and traditional than his father, in a reversal of the more common lineal narrative. In some ways, however, Redman’s “conservatism” was prescient, as many of the premier jazz artists of the 21st century have fought to reclaim some of the audience that jazz lost via inaccessibility without ever lowering jazz’s basic bar to entry. While its title may promise a shape-shifting ADHD that the record doesn’t quite fulfill, MoodSwing is an elegant, beautiful collection of Redman originals that cover quite a bit of ground, from the restrained, “All Blues”-inspired opener “Sweet Sorrow” through the poppy, backbeat-driven “Faith,” the purring Latin groove of “Alone in the Morning” and the exquisite untimed counterpoint of “Dialogue,” on which Joshua pays tribute to the Texas hornslingers Dewey and Ornette. Everything here is tuneful, tasteful and in every way above reproach. Amazing how far they have all come, too. Per usual, there is no cover at the Falcon – not even for the Joshua Redman Quartet – but get your table reservations fast for this one, folks. – John Burdick Joshua Redman Quartet Saturday, Sept. 7, 8 p.m. Donation The Falcon 1348 Rt. 9W, Marlboro www.liveatthefalcon.com

Saturday, August 31 at 7:30 p.m. He will be accompanied by journeyman guitarist/Dobroist Brian Hollander, linchpin of Ulster County’s long-running Saturday Night Bluegrass Band. Pacheco’s career as a singer/songwriter/ musician dates back to 1965, when his psychedelic folk/rock band the Ragamuffins released two singles. In 1969, his next outfit Euphoria cut an album for an imprint of MGM Records. Pacheco became a folk-music icon recording and performing as an acoustic artist based in New York’s Greenwich Village (with stops in Austin and Nashville) and later the Catskills, as made clear in his Valentine of a song, “Hills of Woodstock.” His songs have been covered by Jefferson Starship, Richie Havens and the Band, among many other artists. Pacheco’s annual Labor Day concerts for Flying Cat Music usually sell out; this year, with a larger venue via Phoenicia’s 127-year-old United Methodist Church, it’s still recommended to buy advance tickets to guarantee a seat. Advance tickets cost $15 and are available until noon on the day of the show at: https:// flyingcatmusic.org/next-show; tickets are also available for $18 (cash only) at the door.

Senate Garage hosts Andy Bey September 6

Hear percussion greats at free Drum Boogie festival in Woodstock on September 7 Drum circles are what they are: perhaps more exciting to be in than to be near, but the very picture of harmless fun in any case. When Woodstock does a drum circle – or rather the biennial Drum Boogie at Andy Lee Field – you’d better perk up your ears, however. This event is a serious study in percussion and the very origins of the musical impulse in humanity; and when your drum circle features sets by the likes of Jack DeJohnette, Paul Winter and the modernist percussionist and instrument-builder Garry Kvistad (NEXUS Percussion and Woodstock Chimes), no further rationale is required. Recognizing the implicit connection between rhythm and community, the Woodstock Drum Boogie is also a politicized affair. This year, it features speaking appearances by a pretty heavy cast: Kevin Cahill, Bill McKenna, Pat Ryan and Antonio Delgado, for starters, as well as celebrity introducer and legendary highwire artist Philippe Petit. Action runs from the opening ceremony (with Jack and Paul) at 11 a.m. to the closing set by the Big Takeover at 7 p.m. Like music, this remarkable festival is free. More on this next week.

To list these guys’ “worked with” credits would be laughably inappropriate; they are the cats you’d be ecstatic to put on your list, if only you were so lucky and so good.

remind one, in a cross-media way, of “Mind of the Mound, Trenton Coyle Hancock’s massive and delightful exhibit at MASS MoCA, where Flying Lotus performs on August 31. FlyLo’s current stage show is a work of visual art itself: a feast of irresponsible power consumption described by Rolling Stone as “a maximalist Brian Eno for the medical marijuana age...a live show that updates the psychedelic eye candy of golden-age Pink Floyd.” Flying Lotus swoops into North Adams on a limited tour, with a video wall, 3-D glasses for all and a lot of crazy, substantive music. Ticket prices begin at $35 in advance.

Rapturous, borderline-messianic praise for hip-hop auteur Flying Lotus flows as freely as it once did for his great-aunt and -uncle, Alice and John Coltrane, and for many of the same reasons. The artist formerly known as FlyLo (and as Captain Murphy, and a Los Angeles artist, producer, Adult Swim composer and label-founder, Steven Ellison) is buster of genres, a one-man redirector of rivers. His sixth full-length, 2019’s psychedelic funk and soul epic Flamagra, is a star-studded, sprawling mess of a masterpiece. Flying Lotus operates at the outer fringe of his own fully indulged imagination and experimental impulse. In its whopping scale and in its idiosyncratic personal mythos, it might

to feel obligated to engage with those we perceive as the Other. So it comes as a refreshing change when a well-made film appears in which the characters are, like ourselves, capable of both good and bad behavior, and also capable of change. To get there, writers, directors and actors all have to be willing to show us protagonists who are sometimes unlikable. Good drama happens, without the crutch of violent confrontations, when relatable characters are faced with difficult choices, in which any option chosen will lead to unhappiness for someone. We all face such situations in our lifetimes, and in retrospect our choices don’t always turn out to be the best ones. Our good intentions sometimes pave the road to

WOODSTOCK MUSEUM FILM FESTIVAL RETURNS WITH FREE FILMS & THE THEME “IMPORTANT”

t begins on Tuesday, August 27 with an imagined biopic of the anonymous Chinese man who stood in front of the tanks in Tienanmen Square in 1989 and ends on Monday, September 2 with a documentary about the roots of Detroit’s blues scene. In between, more than 40 other films in a wide variety of genres will be screened, ranging from shorts running less than five minutes to full-length features. What is it? It’s that other annual film festival in Woodstock: the one that takes place each Labor Day week at the Woodstock Museum. The theme for the 19th annual Woodstock Museum Film Festival is “Important.” All the film entries are independently produced, and most advance progressive or countercultural points of view. Participating filmmakers, many of them multiple award-winners, come from all over the world; some will be in attendance for talkbacks with the audience. Admission to all screenings is free. Most nights, the shows begin at 6:30 or 7 p.m. and run until about 11; the exception is Labor Day itself, which will feature an all-day short film marathon beginning at 11 a.m. “Refreshments, Outdoor Music and Special Effects” are promised as well.

Hell for someone we love, or at least don’t want to hurt. Judged by these parameters, Bart Freundlich’s After the Wedding is an amply rewarding couple of hours of cinema, despite being a remake – of Dogme 95-school Danish director Susanne Bier’s 2006 film of the same name. Freundlich does a provocative gender-swap of Bier’s two main characters, here portrayed admirably by two powerhouse actresses: the fearless Julianne Moore (who is married to the director) and Michelle Williams. Williams plays Isabel, a deeply committed social worker who runs an orphanage in India that is direly strapped for cash. One day she gets a call to come to Manhattan to meet with a wealthy, hard-driving CEO of a media marketing company who is thinking about donating a couple of million to the orphanage. Isabel has no wish to leave India, and

especially Jai, the sensitive orphan whom she has raised since finding him as a toddler abandoned by the side of the road. But for Theresa, the philanthropist played by Moore, nothing else will do but for Isabel to come in person. Her arrival is timed for the eve of the wedding of Theresa’s stepdaughter Grace (Abby Quinn), at which Isabel discovers to her horror that Grace’s father is a significant person from her own past: Oscar (Billy Crudup), a sculptor. Williams plays Isabel as a highly internalized personality, not saying more than is absolutely necessary, not displaying much emotion in front of other people. So it’s a master class in acting to read the thoughts moving across her face as she puts two and two together at this wedding of strangers to which she has, ostensibly by happenstance, been invited.

Where Isabel is withholding, Theresa, by contrast, is all out-front. Her business acumen has yielded tremendous success and power, which she wields at the office remorselessly, bullying her personal assistant but somehow winning undying admiration and loyalty from her staff. This is a leader who gets things done and does not suffer fools gladly: a role

usually reserved for male characters, so it’s a delight to see Moore run with it. At home, in an idyllic upscale suburb on the North Shore of Long Island, Theresa barks brisk orders to her household staff (there’s a wedding about to happen there, after all) but puts her ubiquitous cellphone aside when it’s time to interact with her adored twin boys. At first glance, Theresa seems to be the more manipulative player in this ever-shifting game of a family with a complicated past and an uncertain future. But Isabel has some guilty secrets as well, hidden behind her wall of reserve and her righteous mission saving abandoned kids in the Third World. Oscar and Grace, caught in the oh-so-polite crossfire, are not entirely blameless either. And that’s precisely what makes this story a joy: Everyone means well, and everyone occasionally makes poor life choices for which someone else has to suffer. There are ultimately no easy roads to walk, even when you have millions of dollars at your command. After the Wedding is an emotional rollercoaster, its rapid-fire plot twists accelerating the closer it draws to its climax. There’s an occasional heavyhanded gesture – an overly obvious metaphor for family fractures in the form of recurring appearances of a fallen robin’s nest, for example – but the acting is so consistently good (including from promising newcomer Abby Quinn), the writing and directing so tight and the dramatic momentum so compelling that a few such lapses are forgivable. You’ll come out feeling gut-punched, but in a good way. We need more movies like this to be made: ones where the bad guys aren’t alien overlords bent on world domination, but rather the weaker sides of our own fallible natures. – Frances Marion Platt

Cozy café to crow about You’ll get a warm welcome at the laid -back Roost in Stone Ridge

tacy Sindt and her husband Peter took ownership of a longstanding café in Stone Ridge six years ago. She says that they still have customers, loyal to the former proprietors, who want a bottle of ketchup on the table instead of a single serving in a little stainless container. But they, those steadfast patrons who like a hometown café, come anyway – ketchup in a bottle or not. They’ve gotten used to the way that Sindt and the chef, Ty Baughman, serve. They’ve taken a liking to the daily specials. And they bask in the friendly welcome they get at the Roost. Stacy was formerly a pharmaceutical rep who traveled and worked long hours, and Pete was a construction manager for a big firm out of Albany. Typically, they burned the candle at both ends while holding their family life together. “Every day somebody else got my kids up and got them ready for school. I’d show up for a field trip, and then go back to work. In 2010, we both left our corporate lives. We’d always built and flipped houses, and we started doing more of that, here in Stone Ridge.” Running their own construction operation gave them a bit more freedom

and stimulated a creative impulse. “We find the saddest, loneliest house and we recreate it. He’s the spark and I’m the oxygen.” Although neither of them had any experience running an eatery, Sindt says that they’d been looking at the closed restaurant (now Asia) across the street from the old firehouse in town. At about the same time, the owners of the Nibble Nook, Tim and Amber McGowan, suddenly papered the windows and turned off the electricity. “Tim kept calling my husband to take it and fix it up,” she says – which they did, after the building had been empty for eight months. “We didn’t get around to

renovating it until the spring of 2013. We were just busy. We gutted it down to the two-by-fours and worked with NYSERDA to do it energy-efficiently. People wanted to know what we were going to do; we said, ‘What do you want us to do with it?’ They said, ‘We just want a place to go and eat.’ “When we met Ty, my chef/ manager, that’s when it became the Roost. It was a culmination of who he is and who Peter and I are, and putting it out there. And loving everybody who comes here. We said to him, ‘Show us who you think we should be. Let’s do it together.’ Luckily, Ty is extremely fastidious. He was teaching cooking in Sullivan County. If people are fortunate enough to be a dishwasher here, they do prep from the day they start. Eventually, they move to the line and learn

how to cook. “It’s a different environment. Every person who works here is that six-degreesof-separation thing. They’re all somebody’s sister, brother, mother; we have four families with two family members from every family working here. It’s unusual. The staff hangs out outside of work a lot of times, especially the front-of-thehouse staff. We love our staff – me, more than anybody. I walk around hugging everybody, and my husband says, ‘You must stop hugging people.’” She laughs. Aside from the warm-and-fuzzy ambiance, the food is the real draw. Everything is freshly made, just like you wish your mom did it back in the day. Chef Ty switches items on and off the menu – some people objected when he

“People wanted to know what we were going to do; we said, ‘What do you want us to do with it?’ They said, ‘We just want a place to go and eat.’”

removed wraps one winter – because he “truly wants to help get people out of their comfort zones and teach them that there’s more than one thing to love in life.” Still, patrons can count on delicious, recognizable breakfast, lunch and dinner fare: eggs, quiche, sandwiches and burgers, soup and salad. Bauchman’s creative touches show up in everything. How about Brussels sprout hash or chicken-stuffed waffles for brunch? The mac-and-cheese satisfies as only such comfort food can. Entrées include variations on the standard steaks, chops, fish and vegetarian choices. There’s an espresso machine and a simple selection of wines to choose from. The desserts are killer; save room. Sindt says that Baughman insisted on bringing in Stumptown Coffee and Boylan’s Sodas; that he keeps his kitchen cleaner and better-organized than any other restaurant around. “I lived in New York City, a very Seinfeld life on the Upper

West Side. Ty is my ‘soup Nazi’ – you know, I almost don’t want to say I like something too much, because I’m afraid he’ll take it off the menu. Or if I beg him to keep something, he definitely might not keep it. We all kind of tread lightly. No matter what he does, we grow and grow. We believe in Ty. When he does these things, for example, he’s also utilizing ingredients seasonally – things I’d never know about.” The Roost’s clean, comfy interior is decorated with chickens of all sorts, many of which came in the door as gifts from patrons. I asked how they came up with the restaurant’s name. “After leaving the corporate world, we thought, ‘One day we’ll have chickens.’ It was a big infatuation for me, but the bears won the fight.” So the chickens became a motif instead. I asked what the key was to attracting the right employees to produce the quality of food and service they aim for. “I think it’s integrity. Give people something that

Golden moment Last chance to pick your own sunflowers at Hudson Valley Cold Pressed Oils’ fields in Pleasant Valley

evin Haight founded Pleasant Valley’s Hudson Valley Cold Pressed Oils in 2014, though he had originally planned to produce biofuel. During a spike in diesel prices around 2012, he farmed lands purchased from the Robb brothers to grow sunflowers, which produce the highest seed-to-oil yield per beaker. But as the price of diesel fell, Kevin realized that he had produced something of much more interest: a pure, tasty oil for cooking, baking and general consumption. His brother Jeffrey, as well as his wife, fellow Culinary Institute graduate Allison, “convinced him,” says Jeffrey, “to convert it over to food oil.” They eventually came on to help run it, making Hudson Valley Cold Pressed Oils a true family operation. Today it cultivates more than seven acres from both the Robb and nearby Plass farms, with a focus on all things sunflowers. True to its name, a cold-pressed oil is produced without any heat to speak of: a process that results in less oil per seed – only about 35 percent extracted – but a much purer, healthier and ultimately more delicious product. Jeffrey compares this to large-scale commercial oil producers, who heat their products until “it doesn’t taste like what it came from.” “If your oil doesn’t taste like something,” he claims, “they’ve done something to it to get rid of any flavors that were there.” Hudson Valley’s oils, meanwhile, not only taste like sunflower seeds, but are also high in monounsaturated fats, proteins and especially Vitamin E. The Haights sent their oil to be tested at the

CIA, who returned a “smoke point” – the temperature at which an oil begins to burn – of 387 degrees, meaning that it can be cooked hotter, and for longer, without losing any flavor. Because cold-pressing extracts only 35

percent of the initial oil, it results in an unburnt high-protein meal that can be fed to livestock or milled into flour. The Haights sell this flour, ideal for gluten-free baking, as well as a pair of baking mixes – brownies and, because it’s darker than a

blondie, a “brunette” mix. Other products include truffle oil, a sugar scrub, sunflower hummus and, because of the high (over 30 percent) Vitamin E content of sunflower oil, a skin-rejuvenating “sun stick” for use on the face. These can be found at

NIGHT SKY

Is summer over?

ummer is almost history if you reckon seasons meteorologically instead of by the calendar. According to meteorologists, autumn begins on September 1. That’s because they define the seasons according to climate characteristics. Long ago they decided that June 1 more closely resembles the temperatures of summer then those of spring. And they deem typical weather the first week of September to be more fall-like than summerlike. Let’s play along, for now. After all, teachers and students are almost back in school and the beaches are emptying. But since this page is devoted to the sky, we’ll focus there to see whether the heavens currently resemble autumn more than summer. Consider six overhead items. Number One: cumulus clouds. These cauliflowershaped lowish clouds are everyday features in summer, but very rarely seen during our winter months. So what about now, in September? The answer: They’re still around. That’s because they are caused by rising air currents, which are created by strong sunlight warming the ground. That’s why a summer morning that is cloudless at 8 or 9 a.m. typically morphs into a late-morning sky dotted with cumulus clouds. Bottom line: The present sun is still strong enough to create them. But enjoy them while they last; by November they’ll be rare. Item Number Two: rainbows. Around here, we have a distinct rainbow season: summer. We almost never get rainbows in the winter. That’s because a rainbow requires simultaneous sunshine as well as a rainshower. So you need those scattered cumulus rain clouds, with breaks in between that allow sunshine through. In Hawaii that’s a daily situation, which is why rainbows are so common there. But here in the Hudson Valley, we are now nearing the end of our rainbow season. Item 3: overcast. Completely cloudy skies are sadly the norm during our cold half of the year, from November through April. Such gloom is much rarer in summer. More info: If you live around here, the sky is cloudy two-thirds of the time from November through April. But everything reverses come May and especially June, when the sky stays blue two-thirds of the time through October. So we definitely have a sunny season and a cloudy season. Right now we are still enjoying the clear section of the year. Item 4: the starry heavens. The year’s best stargazing conditions happen right now and last through October. This is when the air is driest and the stars are most vivid. Plus, the Milky Way is at its best of the year. This is a case where you’d vote neither for summer nor for winter, but for autumn itself. Item five: the Moon. Annually, there are only two Full Moons with official names. These are the Harvest Moon, which appears this year on September 14, and the Hunters’ Moon on October 13.

The last few years have been a period of expansion for Hudson Valley Cold Pressed Oils, with Jeffrey and Allison’s participation resulting in a greater presence at farm markets, higher diversity of products and wider distribution in both stores and restaurants. They are also planning to open a brand-new production facility by the fields, and have been approached by companies that produce ad copy copy.pdf 1 8/20/19 8:43 AM cannabidiol – a/k/a1 CBD – products, ad copy copy.pdf 8/20/19 8:43 AM shear-river-almanac.pdf 1 because, says Jeffrey, “CBD attaches 8/12/19 very well to sunflower oil.”

For Jeffrey, at least, the most enjoyable change has been the opening of the fields to the general public. From the beginning, he says, people came to see and take pictures of the seven acres of sunflowers, sometimes taking their own back home with them. “Where else can you stand in the middle of a sunflower field like that?” he says. “There aren’t that many opportunities around.” This year, to keep track of visitors, as well as to keep their fields in order – “safety was our biggest concern,” says Jeffrey – the Haights systematized things, instituting a season, setting prices and adding 1:44 PM concessions. The U-pick season varies depends on the growing season, which

By submitting a selfie taken at each of the five towers between July 11 and December 31 of this year, you’ll also qualify for a prize package: a certificate, a set of commemorative pins and a one-year subscription to Conservationist magazine, and be entered into a drawing for a package of luxury hiking accessories. The first 500 participants who complete the Challenge within the specified timeframe will receive a free Empire Pass for 2020 and be eligible for a commemorative special-edition New York State license plate featuring the Catskills. The five fire towers you’ll need to bag in order to qualify are the following:

Catskills Fire Tower Five Challenge

Issued by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, the Catskills Fire Tower Five Challenge uses the network of firespotting towers within the Blue Line as the structure for a goal-oriented hiking program geared for those for whom bagging the 35 peaks of the 3500 Club seems overly challenging. Perhaps the biggest frustration of Catskills hiking for casual outdoorspeople is the fact that the mountains are so green, so densely wooded that it often takes hours of uphill slogging to reach the payoff of a great view: a literal example of not being able to see the forest for the trees. But the fire towers are situated where they are precisely because they open up broad, spectacular vistas, so they provide excellent incentives to keep on keepin’ on during those stretches when you’re looking down at your boots and wondering if there isn’t a more fun way to get your cardio points. Historically, more than 100 fire towers were used to keep an eye out for telltale plumes of smoke in the Catskills. The Challenge program takes you to five that remain standing, popular and accessible; you can learn more about the history and specifics of all five towers at www.dec. ny.gov/lands/76620.html. When you’re done, presumably you’ll be motivated to

Rings, is jam-packed with thrilling moments. But I defy you to think of a scene in it that exceeds, for sheer heart-thumping, teary-eyed, goosefleshed cinematic power, the aerial sequence in which mountaintop pyres are lit one after another, summoning the Rohirrim to the aid of hard-beset Minas Tirith. This Saturday night, August 31, you can witness a spectacle reminiscent of the lighting of the war beacons of Gondor in real life. They won’t literally be setting them on fire, but the tiny rooms, called cabs, at the tops of five Catskill fire lookout towers (Tremper, Hunter, Balsam Lake, Overlook and Red Hill) will be ablaze with light from 9 to 9:30 p.m. Also illuminated will be the tower atop Mount Utsayantha, lying slightly outside of the Catskill Park in Stamford. The sixth annual Lighting of the Fire Towers is meant to showcase the structures’ history. For many decades the men and women stationed in those cabs protected the Catskills from forest fires by providing firefighters with an early detection and reporting system that was amazingly accurate. Here are some good viewing sites for this year’s spectacle; more suggestions can be found at http://catskillcenter. org/events/lightingofthefiretowers.

Kingston Point Rail Trail Phase #1 opens to public September 6

ractically every week, there’s news about the progress of the Empire State Trail network, with broken links in the mid-Hudson being reconnected. The City of Kingston, with most of its original rail infrastructure still in active use, has lagged behind the rest of the region somewhat, in terms of piecing together a coherent rail trail system. Some of the long-planned Greenline will always have to utilize “shared streets” through parts of the city; but great strides forward are happening nonetheless. A milestone in that process will be marked on Friday, September 6 at 4 p.m., when Kingston mayor Steve Noble and other dignitaries cut the ribbon for Phase #1 of the Kingston Point Rail Trail, then lead a brief tour. This 1.11-mile paved public path stretches from East Chester Street at Jansen Avenue to Garraghan Drive and 9W at Rondout Gardens, using a restored 19th-century railroad tunnel beneath the 9W arterial to create an automobile-free connection for pedestrians and cyclists between Midtown and the Rondout waterfront. The opening ceremony will take place at the Jansen/East Chester entrance. Remaining projects on this segment of the Greenline – not yet open to the public as of presstime – which include installing a raised sidewalk across Delaware Avenue, paving additional sections, finishing trailhead construction and planting flower and shrubs, are expected to be completed by the first week in September. The City’s grants office recently announced that it has applied for $850,000 in funding from the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation to construct Phase #2 of the Kingston Point Rail Trail, which will pass behind the Trolley Museum to the East Strand, creating a pathway for pedestrians and cyclists paralleling the trolley tracks that lead out to Kingston Point. Funding award announcements are expected in December. Plans for future phases in the development of the greater Kingston Greenline are most easily grasped by viewing the map downloadable at www.kingston-ny.gov/kingstongreenline. Currently in the planning and design phases are pathways that will eventually link up to the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail at Route 32 and the O & W Rail Trail at Route 209, as well as making connections in Midtown via Broadway, Greenkill Avenue and the Catskill Mountain Railroad right-of-way. It’s going to take several more years for it all to fall into place; but in time, the Greenline will become a hub for non-motorized transportation and tourism from four different directions in the county, including the Empire State Trail. – Frances Marion Platt Kingston Point Rail Trail Phase #1 Grand Opening, Friday, Sept. 6, 4 p.m., free, East Chester St./Jansen Ave., Kingston

submission policy

Martin Wittfooth is an artist whose paintings, drawings, installations and sculptural works investigate themes of the intersection and clash of industry and nature, and the human influence on the environment. Many of his works explore the theme of shamanism - rituals and practices as old as our species through which we have attempted to dialogue with nature: the nature outside of ourselves and the nature within. His creative language uses the combination of allegory and symbolism to convey visual narratives.

To Ramble, to rent, perchance to own A brief tale of settling down, growing up, and maybe laying down some roots by Harry Matthews

t a recent gathering I found myself at, made up mostly of relatives and friends of my parents, a spry looking 80-yearold ďŹ rst cousin of my dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s said quite loudly, and to no one in particular as an undimmed

glint played across his hazel eyes, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ya know, in my head I still feel like Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve barely reached the age of 30.â&#x20AC;? I quickly scanned the room and had the distinct feeling that if I had asked most anyone present, they would have whole-heartedly agreed. Self-perception can be a very strange bird, and a damn tricky thing to get your head

around, particularly as these unforgiving years wrinkle that once smooth face and gray that once dark hair. I believe that how we feel in our head, for many of us, has very little to do with how our muscles and bones feel; over time and as the years let us down physically we might all still be

Form meets functionâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and then something magical happens in this completely renovated contemporary set on over 6 landscaped, secluded acres. The long private drive leads you to the entry through a grove of white birches. The open concept ďŹ&#x201A;oor plan and walls of windows provide a natural ďŹ&#x201A;ow and abundant light throughout. The ground ďŹ&#x201A;oor also has a large family room with bay windows, bedroom with en-suite bath and an ofďŹ ce. Three of the seven bedrooms are en-suite. Opportunities to enjoy the stunning outdoors abound here, from the vaulted screened porch and open porch to the deck facing the in-ground pool and ponds and stone patios beyond. The heated, inground pool is enhanced by extensive bluestone patios and walls, and crowned with a series of cascading pools. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a ďŹ repit and even an outdoor clawfoot tub. This home is the epitome of style, with high end ďŹ t and ďŹ nishes throughout, including extensive custom casework, built-ins and modern lighting. The latest zoned systems throughout ensure the ďŹ nest quality lifestyle. Moments to the center of Woodstock and the thriving city of Kingston, yet completely private and quiet.

living in that golden age of our own past, when the music was great, those of the opposite sex still noticed us, and we had yet to settle down and begin to become the good boys and girls we someday might feel pressured to do. Often no matter what we do with our lives â&#x20AC;&#x201D; go to college, get a job that we stay at for years, raise a family and all that goes along with all this â&#x20AC;&#x153;grown-upâ&#x20AC;? stuff â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that warm feeling of our own personal golden age never leaves us. Until my early 40s I was an unrepentant card-carrying â&#x20AC;&#x153;renterâ&#x20AC;? when it came to where I would lay my head, unpack my backpack for a few months or years, and generally set up shop only to the degree that it might hinder a fast middle-of-the-night-departure (think of that old Simon and Garfunkel song lyric â&#x20AC;&#x153;two steps away from the county lineâ&#x20AC;?). The stupid reality of my slacker existence was the dimlythought-out plan of imminent rock stardom, the purely lazy avoidance of ďŹ ling a tax return (though in many instances I was actually owed a refund), and the brilliant thought that once I was rich and famous I would gladly pay the government all that I had owed them. Thus, I rarely stayed in any apartment for more than a year purely out of fear of ďŹ nally being caught by

the IRS, being sent to some medieval debtors’ prison, my rock-star dreams dashed. If it weren’t for my complete misunderstanding of what paying a “maintenance fee” covered I probably would own something in New York City today, whether an apartment or a building. When I first moved to Williamsburg in the late ’80s it seemed as though every old warehouse and commercial building were for sale, and often could be had for under $100,000. A few of my wiser friends bought buildings in Williamsburg throughout the ’90s for little more than a song and now sit on some of the priciest real estate in the country. After living like this for some years, the bloom of my beloved irresponsibility was all of a sudden off the rose in the form of an early morning eviction notice. My rude-awakening was less an “aha” and more of an “uh-oh” moment. I knew I had little more than one choice and that I could, or more rightly should, no longer try to pull off my long unearned Peter-Pan life, bite the bullet of adulthood and get the hell out of Dodge. The crowning sad irony, which also stood as the epitome of what I had become, was that that very night I had a first (and, not surprisingly, only) date procured from a flashy youthful dating website. After picking her up on Houston St. and with little to say we walked quickly up Second Avenue to a favorite pierogi joint. As we entered, I happened to catch our reflection in a plate glass window on where I laughingly realized I more resembled her father than any potential suitor. I soon realized that the eviction turned out to

panned out. The skinny jeans and combat boots look were no longer quite the match with my quickly graying mop and paunchy gut. Thankfully, and surely of an almost equal narcissistic daydream illusion, some large-scale environmental sculptures I had been dabbling with got me a summer-long show at a gallery up in the High Peaks part of the Adirondacks. So I put everything in storage and drove up there to stay in a cabin my great-grandparents had built. By September it was getting cold and

again it was time to move on. I had a brother living in the village of Catskill so I drove down and on the second day there made an impulsive decision, renting a small house on Hutchin Hill road in the Woodstock village of Shady that was owned by a friend of his. I knew no one, had no job, little savings, but somehow knew I had been drawn here for something. That was ten years ago. Truth be told, and despite all my fantasies of rock, for most of my life I had wanted to own a

house and, more importantly, a piece of land. Not as an investment, or to gain equity; I’m not particularly into “ownership,” per se, but I needed a place I could settle into, to be in and on and of the land. I had rented for years in Brooklyn, transforming a number of derelict warehouse spaces to semi-livable lofts (semi only in the sense that the living was rough and most of what we used for construction was scavenged from the streets). But renting seemed to be a black hole that money got thrown into never to be seen again. Finally, in the spring of 2010, my partner Catherine and I and our old grey tiger cat Ama, rented an old farm house on the Kaaterskill Creek in the tiny (and some would say tony) hamlet of High Falls, just over the Greene County border from Saugerties. The owner told us that the property, once a working farm, had at some point been an extension of a large summer camp in the area and thus the stables and chicken coop had become cottages. The house dated from the early 1860s, and the camp from

40 years later. A month after we moved in the property came up for sale and, miraculously, by the end of July it was ours. Luckily, I loved all the chores that went along with being a homeowner. From mowing the lawns to chopping ﬁrewood, to the constant upkeep and maintenance the old place required, we happily fell into it all. Our main income was now being produced by the cottages we were renting out— one full-time, one Airbnb. The sheer amount and diversity of expenses has taken some getting used to. As renters we weren’t responsible for anything beyond the rent and whatever other bills might go along with that. As homeowners, we’re responsible for everything, from plowing the driveway, keeping up with our homeowner’s insurance and all the other adult “mundanities” of responsible living. It feels good not to not be on the run from the IRS. For the ﬁrst time in my life, I can actually settle down and settle in, making a warm and comfy nest for my partner and me, and of course our cats. With the freedom that growing up afforded me I was equally now able to dispel any irrational fears that arose from having not grown up for so long. In settling down I realized that I didn’t have to give up on the idea that there might come a day when I could just throw everything in to storage and head off on a three-year tour of the beaches of Southeast Asia, or perhaps teach English to Tibetan refugees in Dharamsala, or maybe an extended wine-drinking pilgrimage to walk the Camino de Santiago. On the other hand, and since we own this home, maybe this summer we will put in one of those amazing natural swimming ponds out back and spend the rest of our summers navel-gazing poolside…

Opportunities

***NYS PARKS BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY*** Vacancy Announcement Program Associate, Indigenous Communities Initiative About NoVo Foundation NoVo Foundation acts from the original meaning of philanthropy: the love of humanity. The Foundation is dedicated to catalyzing a global social transformation away from current cultures of domination and their reliance on hierarchy, violence, and the subordination of girls and women. NoVo believes a new code of behavior is possible, where we are all linked and not ranked. We envision a balanced world that’s governed by principles of mutual respect, collaboration, and civic participation, and that our contribution is to help create the conditions for that new code to arise and inspire others to join them. For further details about the mission and vision of the NoVo Foundation, please visit www.novofoundation.org.

Position Overview

NoVo Foundation is hiring a Program Associate to join the Indigenous Communities Initiative.

The Program Associate reports to the Foundation’s Senior Director and works closely with two Program Officers based remotely, in western Montana and Reno, NV. The PA provides administrative support to both Program Officers, assists with the Initiative’s grantmaking, and manages strategic projects. This role requires experience working in Indigenous communities, as well as passion for NoVo Foundation’s mission to foster a transformation from a world of domination and exploitation to one of collaboration and partnership. The position demands the flexibility and precision needed to support a fully remote team across multiple time zones. The PA position will be based in one of NoVo’s offices, either Kingston, NY (preferably) or Brooklyn, NY. Regular travel to NoVo’s offices for meetings and other Foundation activities is expected.

NoVo offers competitive salaries, excellent benefits, generous vacation, and a pleasant working environment. The Foundation employs a small staff and is dedicated to promoting an environment of collaboration and workplace flexibility. NoVo deeply values diversity and is committed to the recruitment and retention of individuals of underrepresented backgrounds, including gender, race, religion, and sexual orientation.

Application Process

• Please review the full vacancy announcement at https://novofoundation.org/updatesfromnovo/novo-is-hiring-programassociate-indigenous-communities-initiative/

• All applications should be submitted via email. E-mail applications to jobs@novofoundation.org with subject line: Indigenous Communities PA/YOUR NAME. • Applications must include a resume and thoughtful cover letter.

PRAYER TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN. (Never known to fail.) Oh, most faithful 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.
