UlsterCorps’ tenth annual Zombie Escape takes place on Saturday, October 26 at Williams Lake in Rosendale. Seasonal events include a 5K trail run, 1K walk and a free 1K Fun Run for kids. As UlsterCorps’ primary annual fundraiser, Zombie Escape is the perfect riotous, family-friendly way to support the county’s grassroots not-for-profit resource dedicated to fostering a culture of volunteerism, collaborative work and community service. Runners participating in the Zombie Escape will be given a health flag belt (two flags each, like flag football). Those who avoid the zombies and get through the woods with at least one flag and all their brains intact will earn an UlsterCorps Zombie Escape Survivor wristband. Runners can also opt to avoid being attacked by zombies and compete in the timed race without wearing the health flags. All participants will receive a medal; top finishers will receive awards in gender and ten-year age group categories. The event will also include a bonfire by the lake, goodie bags for the first 300 registered runners and volunteers and free refreshments including hot chocolate and s’mores. There’s a team rate of only $15 per person for groups of three or more who register by October 23. Day-of registration costs $20 per person.

HISTORY

BURNING OF KINGSTON RETURNS OCTOBER 18-19

Brew U Beer Festival returns to CIA on Saturday

he Burning of Kingston will be back on Friday and Saturday, October 18 and 19. While a reenactment of the Redcoats’ landing and skirmish with the local militia at Kingston Point won’t be happening this year, some new features have been added to the more-or-less-semiannual commemoration of the disastrous sequence of events in 1777, when British forces took over the city, setting buildings afire as they moved from east to west. For the first time, the role of black people in the city’s Revolutionary War history will be incorporated into the event. New additions to the Burning of Kingston include Harambee Kingston’s special exhibit on display at the Persen House, and a lecture there at 12:30 p.m. on Saturday that will discuss enslaved persons during the Revolution and in Kingston during the burning. The lecture will be preceded and followed by singing of African hymns, and there will be a march to the recently rescued Pine Street African Burial Ground, where a ceremony will be held. Activities commence at the Old Dutch Church in the Stockade District on Friday evening. At 6:30 p.m., Paul O’Neill, the Ulster County Commissioner of Jurors, will give a talk introducing the weekend’s events. A documentary on the Burning of Kingston will be screened at the church at 7 p.m., followed at 7:30 by a reenactment of the “Great Debate” at the Committee of Safety Meeting. Special exhibits will be on view Saturday, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Friends of Historic Kingston gallery at the Fred J. Johnston House and beginning at 12:30 p.m. at the Matthewis Persen House. The Senate House will host its Autumn Festival from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., which will include reenactments of 18th-century camp life, such as demonstrations of apple cider pressing, meat smoking, hearthside cooking, dipping candles, making dried apple wreaths and cornhusk dolls. While no buildings will actually be burned, the Volunteer Firemen’s Museum Bucket Brigade will get underway in the streets at 2 p.m. At 3 p.m. at the Old Dutch Church, Robb K. Haberman will give a lecture titled “Burning Memories: John Jay, Kingston and the Legacies of the American Revolution.” At 7 p.m., Theatre on the Road will conduct a Living History Cemetery Tour of the churchyard. And at 8 p.m., it’s time to break out your full Revolutionary War-era costume for the Colonial Grand Ball at the church’s Bethany Hall.

“Community blanket” woven from Hudson Valley wools debuts at NYS Sheep & Wool Festival

Among the regular annual visitors to the New York State Sheep and Wool Festival is a historic mill in Harmony, Maine called Bartlettyarns, Inc. Not

only does the company offer its own products for sale, but for the past two decades it has also cultivated supply relationships with Hudson Valley sheep farmers, either by purchasing wool directly at the festival or by making its washing, carding and spinning facilities available to them. Established in 1821, Bartlettyarns operates the last remaining spinning mule in the US creating woolen spun yarns and rovings. Its wool processing uses all organic products to wash the wool and all antique machinery to card and spin it. For the past three years, Bartlettyarns has been pursuing a “wool pool” project to collect yarn from Hudson Valley wool producers and weave it into a “community blanket” reflecting the natural-colored wools grown in the region with two distinct plaid patterns. This limitededition line of approximately 100 throws will be available for sale at the Wool

Festival coming up October 17 to 20. If it is a success, Version II will come next year, say the folks at Bartlettyarns. Check it out at the Dutchess Fairgrounds.

NATURE

BARD HOSTS SECOND ANNUAL JOHN CAGE MYCOLOGY WEEKEND

esides being among the most revolutionary of 20th-century classical composers, John Cage was also an avid amateur mycologist. His interest in mushrooms was literally born out of hunger during the Depression, when he would take the specimens he’d foraged near his home in Carmel, California to the local library to see if they were edible. He spent much of the rest of his life collecting and studying fungi, even supplying upscale New York restaurants such as the Four Seasons with mushrooms he gathered in the local (reachable by subway) wild. In 1959, Cage taught a course on mushroom identification at the New School; some of the Fluxus artists were among his students. Some of that group, under Cage’s leadership, founded the New York Mycological Society. On a European trip that same year, Cage somehow ended up a contestant on a notoriously difficult Italian game show and picked mushrooms as his topic of special expertise. By being able to rattle off the names of 24 species of white-spored Agaricus, he won the top prize of five million lire (then about $10,000). With his winnings he bought a new piano for himself and a Volkswagen bus for the dance company just being started by his artistic collaborator and Significant Other, Merce Cunningham. It was through Cunningham’s role as executor of the composer’s estate that much of his archives ended up at Bard College as the John Cage Trust. (His Mushroom Book, a 1972 collaboration with mycologist Alexander H. Smith and artist Lois Long, is now in the hands of the Museum of Modern Art, and his fungi collection at the University of California at Santa Cruz.) But Cage had plenty of other connections to the Hudson Valley, including the Woodstock premiere of his most notorious composition, 4’ 33”, and a long residence at Stony Point in Rockland County. The Mid-Hudson Mycology Association, our local affiliate of the New York Mycological Society, keeps Cage’s mycophilic legacy alive by naming its annual conference the John Cage Mycology Weekend. This year’s gathering is happening at Bard College on October 19 and 20. Saturday’s schedule includes a Morning Mushroom Foray at 9:30 a.m. at Montgomery Place, led by David and Susan Rose and Tim Graham. There will be a catered picnic lunch at noon, and a sociable mushroom identification session beginning at 1 p.m. A more formal symposium takes place at Bard Hall on Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The presentations include Mary Bereschka and Lia Friedman on “Hyphal Connections & Fruiting Bodies: Lessons from the Fungal Queendom,” David Rose on “The Mushrooms of Violetta White Delafield,” Seth Chrisman on “Mutualism and (De) Composition,” Kathie Hodge on “Seeing Fungi” and former club president John Michelotti on “Medicinal Mushrooms: Healing the Planet and People.” E-mail Emily Martin at emartin@johncage.org for more details about this gathering.

It’s a hard life with no guarantees, family farming. And running your operation as a CSA, with members of the community buying shares in advance of each year’s crop, doesn’t necessarily cushion you against a disastrous year. Just ask Pete and Robin Taliaferro, who first purchased their spread between Plains Road and the Wallkill River in New Paltz in the fall of 1995. They struggled at first, but things were seeming to reach an even keel, even turning a tiny profit – until the peak of the harvest season in 2011, when Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee delivered a one-two punch, eight days apart. Taliaferro Farms had to lay off most of its staff and very nearly went under. Recovery from that one terrible year has been a slow crawl. But the Taliaferros’ eldest son is now being groomed to take over the business. And the family is developing alternative income streams through agritourism. This year, that has taken the form of a monthly series of Farm-to-Table Dinners served right onsite, each one showcasing the genius of a renowned Hudson Valley chef. The series started in May and will end with the onset of winter, but there are two more superb meals – featuring produce as local as local can possibly be – scheduled for October 19 and November 2. On Saturday, October 19 from 6 to 9 p.m., the celebrity guest chef will be Chris Colom, executive chef of the renowned Equus Restaurant at the Castle Hotel and Spa in Tarrytown. He will prepare a fivecourse meal including wine pairings. The menu is set to include Red Kuri Squash Bisque with Roasted Chestnut Espuma and Toasted Cascabel Dust; Roasted Vegetables (Early Wonder Beets, Hakurei Turnips, Small Carrots, Chevre, Herbs, Saffron Vinaigrette); Roasted Day Boat Scallop with Tomato Trio (Red Zebra Tomato Jam, Marinated Cherry Tomato Salad, Tomato Fondue); Hudson Valley Duck Breast with Roasted Acorn Squash,

Baby Leeks and Mole Negro; and Sweet Potato Flan with Caramelized Maple, Candied Pecans, Fig Agri-dolce and Dehydrated Apples for dessert. Begin the evening with a glass of hard cider, hors d’oeuvres and a walking tour of the farm, then sit down to dinner overlooking the Shawangunk Ridge. On Saturday, November 2 from 6 to 9 p.m., Taliaferro’s Farm-to-Table Dinner will feature the family behind downtown Poughkeepsie’s legendary Italian deli, Rosticceria Rossi. Expect to be dazzled with a five-course harvest feast fit for royalty, featuring all organic vegetables from Taliaferro Farms. The cost for each of these dinners is $85 per person.

“Ellerslie” talk at Morton Library on October 25

South of Rhinecliff there lies a thousand-acre property known as Ellerslie, which commands one of the area’s best views of the Hudson River and was part of Rhinebeck’s earliest land transaction in 1686. The site has served as home to a state senator, a vice president, prep school cadets at a Catholic military academy and neglected, dependent and delinquent teenagers sent there by family courts or social service agencies. Michael Frazier, who served for a time as a teacher/administrator on the Ellerslie campus, will give a talk about the property at the Morton Memorial Library & Community House, sponsored by the Rhinebeck Historical Society. Frazier will also share recently recovered original plans of the Morton mansion, prepared in 1887 by architect Richard Morris Hunt. The lecture begins at 7 p.m. on Friday, October 25.

NATURE Ask a

naturalist T he Hudson Valley enjoys not only unique and widely celebrated natural beauty, but also a rich legacy as a center of environmental education, preservation and activism. From Mohonk to Clearwater, Scenic Hudson to the John Burroughs Natural History Society and beyond, the region is disproportionately loaded with active, influential and historically significant naturalist institutes, educators, trusts and advocacy groups. This provides locals and tourists alike a multidimensional, expert-mediated relationship with nature if they so choose: a learning opportunity for every trail and vista. Ask a Naturalist, a new Almanac Weekly column orchestrated by John Burdick, aims to capitalize on this unique community resource and engage a variety of local experts in questions of regional interest and significance. For this inaugural edition, experts from the Mohonk Preserve in New Paltz, the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies in Millbrook, the John Burroughs Natural History Society in West Park and the Ulster County Cornell Cooperative Extension in Kingston stepped up to field a variety of season- and region-specific questions.

Which kinds of trees make which color leaves? Change in day length is the most important factor prompting the onset of fall foliage. As the days grow shorter and darkness increases, leaves stop producing chlorophyll, the green pigment that lets plants convert energy from sunlight. This breakdown allows other colors to take center stage: The yellow, orange, red and brown tones that we associate with fall are always present in leaves, but they are masked by an abundance of chlorophyll during summer’s long days. Different tree species are associated with different colors. Hickory and sycamore leaves are golden-orange. Ash leaves tend to be yellow and purple. Oaks hold onto their leaves the longest and produce russet-brown foliage. Sugar maples take on an orange or red tone. There is evidence that red leaves are more prevalent when days are warm, dry and sunny, and the nights are cool (but not freezing). Red foliage has also been linked to fungus and drought. During their lifetime, trees respond to a range of environmental influences, from airborne pollutants to insect pests, many of which can influence leaf color. One year might yield more red and another more gold. The Cary Institute is part of a National Phenology Network project exploring how environmental conditions affect the timing of when leaves change color and fall from trees. Careful monitoring can help answer bigger-picture questions, such as impacts of ozone pollution or climate change. The Hudson Valley’s autumn leaf show is now on display; a walk on the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies’ campus

web can be a good place to pick up a mate, too. Roving males search for females, who are typically the builders and inhabitants of the webs. After mating and depositing of eggs, the adult spider’s life cycle is over, and they will die off about the time of the first “hard” frost. Another important element not to be overlooked in the detection of spiderwebs during the fall is the weather. We all enjoy the warm, dewy air of late September days, coupled with refreshingly brisk nights. As a result of the often-dramatic change in temperature each morning, droplets of water will have condensed upon concentric designs all about the garden and woods, illuminating the previous night’s work. – Mark DeDea President, John Burroughs Natural History Society http://jbnhs.org JULIE O'CONNOR | ALMANAC WEEKLY

Why do we see so many spiderwebs in the fall? Autumn is a very active and critical time of year for most of our local spider species. Spiders have spent the better part of the summer growing. As young arachnids, they remained inconspicuous to avoid predation (mainly by other spiders), but now, after several sheds, have reached maturity. Adults can move out from the shadows of the vegetation and are able to spin their own webs. These webs are often constructed daily, and usually near or under the cloak of darkness. Obviously, we all know how they aid in capturing the spider’s prey, but a

Moons everywhere

ou’ve probably heard that astronomers just discovered 20 more Saturn moons. So now it’s got 82 satellites, beating out Jupiter’s 79. With so many moons in our solar system, which is your favorite? I’ll tell you mine: In the Most Intriguing department, it’s Jupiter’s moon Europa. It has vast, warm saltwater oceans under its ice sheets. And since life began in Earth’s oceans, this has got to be the closest place that we might reasonably expect to find extraterrestrials. Nor is it the only water-park attraction out there. There seems to be water beneath the surface of Jupiter’s Ganymede as well; and, since this is the largest moon in the known universe, nobody could be blamed for choosing it as their favorite. Hold on; what about Saturn’s Enceladus? It’s got volcanoes that shoot not fire but ice chunks dozens of miles into the air – or rather, into the airless space. So, it has subsurface oceans, too. And its water is salty, as well. How about Saturn’s one truly big moon, Titan, visible through binoculars? It’s the only satellite in the entire solar system with a thick atmosphere. And its air is mostly made of nitrogen, just like ours. It even rains there, so that Titan has many gorgeous lakes. But the liquid is not water; it’s methane – what we call natural gas, but in liquid form. You could barbecue there forever and never run out. Too weird. With all these competitors, you’ve still got to love the Uranus moon Miranda. Google it and you’ll see what I mean. Planetary experts still can’t figure out what’s going on there. It looks like someone cut and pasted-on five different types of geological features that really don’t go together, including an enormous chevron or V shape. We can’t finish up the “weird moon” conversation without coming back to our own neighborhood and considering the Martian satellites, which have the most morbid names in the cosmos. Halloween names: Fear and Death – or, more properly in Latin,

Mars’ Deimos is the only satellite in our solar system that will soon die. Eventually it’ll crash into the Martian surface – one more reason not to go there.

apples were grown in New England as early as 1630 by John Chapman, also known as Johnny Appleseed, along with many other traders. The first apple orchard on the North American continent was planted in Boston by Reverend William Blaxton in 1625. The only apples native to North America are crabapples, which were once called “common apples.” It is hard to pinpoint exactly when apples were first cultivated, but in 1730, the first apple nursery was opened in Flushing, New York. An 1845 US apples nursery catalogue sold 350 of the “best” cultivars, showing the proliferation of new North American cultivars by the early 19th century. Well-known American apple orchardists include George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. Cornell reports that the 2012 USDA Census revealed that the 16 counties comprising the Eastern New York Commercial Horticulture program had over 12,500 acres devoted to apple production. The lower Hudson Valley region and the Lake Champlain region are two of the largest and most important apple production areas in New York state, which ranks second in the nation for apple production and first in the country for canned apple products, although much of that crop is produced in western New York. – Dona Crawford Community Horticulture Program Coordinator, Cornell Cooperative Extension, Ulster County http://ulster.cce.cornell.edu Can woolly bear caterpillars predict the weather? The familiar “wooly bear” caterpillar, frequently seen this time of year as they move across roadways, trails and backyards in search of a protected nook in which to spend the winter, is the larval form of the Isabella tiger moth. The caterpillars are covered with tiny “hairs” that are a rusty red around the middle and black at each end. These hairs are actually an outgrowth of the exoskeleton, called setae. Folklore tells us that the more black that appears on wooly bears in the autumn,

the harsher the upcoming winter will be. In truth, the proportion of red and black setae is a result of how much the caterpillar has found to eat, plus its age.

It’s spiraling closer and closer and is six feet nearer to Mars each century. Eventually it’ll crash into the Martian surface – one more reason not to go there. With all these choices, I’m sticking with our own satellite as unique. Its name is “Moon,” and it’s the only major satellite that does not orbit around its parent planet’s Equator. It ignores our tilt and circles us in the same flat plane in which the planets go around the Sun. That’s why you always see it in zodiac constellations or their immediate vicinity. It’s also proportionally the largest of all moons, relative to its parent planet’s size. Don’t write in and say that I missed its greatest oddity: that it always keeps one face aimed toward Earth, thanks to its rotation and revolution being the same 27.32166 days right down to the second. No, we can’t give the Moon that one – because every major moon in the solar system does that. – Bob Berman Want to know more?

Wooly bears molt several times, and each time they shed their exoskeleton, they become less black and more red. However, if the wooly bear has a good

feeding season, it will grow quickly, and this rapid growth results in more red and less black. Regardless, the amount of red and black can tell us about the weather in the past, but not the weather in the future. While the Isabella tiger moth is the most common “wooly bear” in our area, there are a few (actually a few hundred) other species of tiger moth, each of which looks a little different. For example, the yellow bear caterpillar is all red with no black, while the giant leopard moth caterpillar is solid black with no red. None of these species’ caterpillars tells us about the weather past, present or future. I’m often asked if wooly bears will sting if picked up, since the setae that cover the wooly bear caterpillar look very prickly, and many caterpillars do sting. In fact, these caterpillars do not sting or bite, and should be safe to handle. However, some people have reported skin irritation after handling wooly bears. This doesn’t seem to bother predators, though. I looked through the Mohonk Preserve’s natural history observation database and found an interesting record written by Daniel Smiley, Jr., dated 24 October 1973: “[Fred] Hough reports that he has seen caterpillars being eaten by bluejays and a praying mantis.” Clearly, if you’re hungry enough, those prickly setae are no deterrent! – Elizabeth Long Director of Conservation Science Mohonk Preserve www.mohonkpreserve.org

id you know that the earliest known citation of the term “Indian summer,” meaning a spell of unusually warm, hazy weather sometime after the first hard frost of autumn, was in a collection of essays written in Orange County in the 1770s? It’s true. The author of Letters from an American Farmer, J. Hector St. John de Crevecoeur, the son of a French count, had an exciting life that included being imprisoned as a spy by the British during the Revolutionary War. He wrote admiringly of the Hudson Valley’s indigenous people, and became an early abolitionist after returning to France. St. Johnsbury in Vermont is named after him. Nowadays, of course, “Indian summer” is a dicey usage, with little consensus as yet among Native Americans about what they prefer it to be called, other than that we should use someone’s tribal affiliation if we know it. Many older Native people, including Lakota activist Russell Means, still prefer “American Indian,” though their number is dwindling. Some object to “Native American” as a bureaucratic label thought up by the federal government. “First Nations” has caught on big-time in Canada but has been slow getting established in the US. And on the question of what would constitute a better term for Indian summer, the jury is still out. Still, the time of year bookended by Columbus Day/Indigenous People’s Day, with its burden of commemorating the beginning of a cruel age of imperialism, and Thanksgiving, with its mythos of a fragile period of harmony and sharing between starving settlers and their generous Native hosts, continues to resonate for us with reminders of the New World’s indigenous peoples, their resilience through centuries of persecution and injustice. Perhaps there are less unkind ways of referring to this time of reflection than “Indian summer.” And maybe Unison Arts in New Paltz is on the right track in choosing these golden days of autumn for staging an event that honors the artistic traditions of Native peoples of our continent, as well as their modern florescence. A program at Unison on Saturday, October 19 titled “Native America: Old and New” is the work of several indigenous artists in collaboration: singers, instrumentalists, dancers and choreographers. Witness traditional Native American dances as Louis Mofsie sings songs from the Haudenosaunee, Southwest and Plains peoples. Rob Mastrianni performs on both double flute and guitar. Matoaka Little Eagle plays indigenous instruments to accompany original songs by contemporary singer/songwriter Sherry Lee. Using a combination of traditional and modern dance, the featured piece Silent Echoes of Time, choreographed by Michael Taylor, depicts the traumatic wartime experiences and subsequent journey of healing of a Lenape Vietnam veteran, Alan Shooting Star, who dances the lead role himself. This evening’s program promises to be a rich, poignant and beautiful aesthetic and emotional experience. It begins at 8 p.m. on Saturday, October 19, with ticket prices ranging from $10 to $25. Call (845) 255-1559 or visit www.unisonarts. org/event/native-america-old-and-new for tickets. – Frances Marion Platt Native America: Old and New, Saturday, Oct. 19, 8-10 p.m., $10-$25, Unison Arts & Learning Center, 68 Mountain Rest Rd., New Paltz, (845) 255-1559, www.unisonarts.org

Sorgen Crispell Fonda play the Falcon on Sunday

On their 2018 release Dreamstruck, the Sorgen Crispell Fonda trio engages in a surprisingly euphonious and lucid brand of intricate free music. But for two lovely compositions by bassist Joe Fonda (the spare, modernist/classical “My Song” and the more emphatic and agitated “Read This”) and a couple of covers, the record consists mostly of improvisation from three eminences of exploratory interplay. Much of the record’s seductive, halfin/half-out color derives from the Guggenheim Fellow Marilyn Crispell’s extraordinary command. As she has proven for decades, her wide-ranging, liberated harmonic excursions are never short on elegant color and line: an internal, elusive beauty that seems to spring from the font of 20th-century classical music. Sorgen once again reveals himself to be an exceptionally empathic and imaginative player in the “free” format, managing pulse and space in much same liberated way that Crispell teases with tonality. “Free jazz” is a misleading term. There is a familiar and established dialect to this way of playing, a set of highly permissive conventions cultivated over the second half of the 20th century by people like

Oct. 17, 2019 Anthony Braxton, with whom Crispell and Fonda are both closely associated. To say it is not for everyone is redundant, but Dreamstruck will reward anyone who lends it a willing ear. Sorgen Crispell Fonda takes to the stage at the Falcon on Sunday, October 20. Kudos to Tony and the gang for continuing to embrace the entirety of the jazz tradition – even the parts that can be a tough sell in 2019 – and for providing a stable and warm home base for the Hudson Valley’s wealth of jazz visionaries. Per usual, there is no cover charge at the Falcon, but generous donation is what keeps the high times coming. – John Burdick Sorgen Crispell Fonda Sunday, Oct. 20, 8 p.m. Donation The Falcon 1348 Rt. 9W, Marlboro www.liveatthefalcon.com

~The Setting~ Beautiful, Streamside, Uniquely Woodstock

~The Food~ Colony in Woodstock lends its elegant and refined space to some unvarnished blues yowl when New York City’s Daddy Long Legs return on Friday, October 18. Heirs to the wild and weird side of blues lore, Daddy Long Legs’ records (like 2019’s Lowdown Ways) sound fastidiously ungroomed. Driving, earthy beats, tremolo-noir guitars, distorted vocals inflamed bronchial mouth harp and a lostworld mythos: You know the drill. But what is genuinely surprising about this group is its deeply sublimated pop savvy, a well-disguised substructure that has nothing whatsoever to do with studied blues yearning. Kindred NYC spirits Old Lady open.

Bard’s The Orchestra Now kicks off a series of five fall concerts with a program of Sibelius and Shostakovich on October 19 and 20. There are no accidents at Bard, and the pairing of these two giants is poignant. Jean Sibelius was one of the last of the great, melodically generous Romantic composers. His nationalistic themes helped advance Finland’s cultural independence from Russia. Dmitri Shostakovich (whose star seems ascendant in concert halls these days) was one of the most difficult and diverse of all Modernist composers. His huge, thorny, brilliant body of work is thematically inseparable from his tempestuous relationship with the Soviet regime. Soloist Xinran Li, winner of Bard Conservatory’s concerto competition, performs Sibelius’ popular Violin Concerto: long an orchestral staple and recently energized by a multi-episode role in the Amazon classical music comedy-

More like a cultural supernova than a double bill, Los Lobos meet the David Bromberg Big Band at the Ulster Performing Arts Center on Sunday, October 20.

Savvy musical experimenters from the very beginning, Los Lobos’ very first self-released record – five years before their major-label hit debut How Will the Wolf Survive – was called Just Another Band from East LA, a reference to

TAKE THE SECRET SAUGERTIES PHOTO CHALLENGE THIS MONTH

s part of its monthlong cultural celebration of its namesake town, ShoutOut Saugerties has put together an online challenge: Discover little-known treasures of the township, photograph them (selfies are acceptable) and post your photos on social media using the hashtag #SecretSaugerties, or simply e-mail them to info@shoutoutsaugerties. com. Your entry could wind up featured on Instagram. It’s sort of a scavenger hunt for grownups – one that’ll clue you in to amazing features that you probably never knew Saugerties had. Now, every town has its cool stuff, but some of these discoveries are mindblowing. Did you know that the first stained-glass window commission undertaken by the William Morris Company for an American client, with panels designed by Edward Burne-Jones, Ford Madox Brown and Morris himself, was the 1867 Vanderpoel Window that hangs in Saugerties’ Trinity Church? The Arts & Crafts Movement had left its stamp way up the hill at Byrdcliffe, but this manifestation down in the Valley could be news to you. Other artworks waiting to be discovered throughout the town include a WPA mural by Edward Dreis at the Cahill Elementary School and a painting in the lobby of the Saugerties Masonic Hall by John Vanderlyn, Jr. (known for his portraits, but this one is intriguingly described as “an example of his more imaginative work”). A sculpture by Ezio Martinelli is tucked away in a grove in an obscure corner of Seamon Park, while two bluestone works by Tomas Penning can be found at St. John the Evangelist Church and the St. Mary School. Town Hall has a 77-panel panoramic mural created by many artists painting over blown-up photographs of Saugerties scenes. Café Tamayo has a massive walnut bar hand-built in place by the building’s original owner. Also on the list are some choice spots in the Esopus Bend Nature Preserve and a historic grave marker in St. Mary’s cemetery. Sound like an enticement to go exploring? That’s the whole point.

on the streets of Dublin, but have a lot of personal baggage to work around – that charmed its way onto the Ten Best lists of dozens of top film critics, largely on the strength of the songs composed by its two lead actors, Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová. One of those songs, “Falling Slowly,” won an Oscar, and the soundtrack album for Once proved such a success that it was inevitable that a stage version would follow. That musical opened Off-Broadway in 2011 to win the New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award for Best Musical, moving to Broadway the following year and winning eight Tonys – again including Best Musical. The album won a Grammy.

Enthusiasm for Once hasn’t waned since, and the third national tour of the Broadway production is now underway. J.

Freddie Mercury. Diana Rigg. Elvis Presley. Farrah Fawcett. Fleabag. These icons had one thing in common: They embraced the jumpsuit as a key fashion staple. To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the jumpsuit, the Marist Fashion Program has curated the exhibition “La Tuta: The Journey of the Jumpsuit.” This collection contains historic and contemporary garments that will be on display in the Fashion Gallery of the Steel Plant at Marist College from October 21 to November 20. The exhibition is free and open to the public and kicks off with an opening reception on Monday, October 21 at 6 p.m., featuring a talk by Danilo Ceri. Ceri is the director of Archivo Storico Vintage in Italy, a fashion research gallery. The history of the jumpsuit dates back to Italy in 1919. The garment, known as “la tuta,” was first designed by Ernesto Michahelles. His original sketches of the versatile tee-shaped design have served as inspiration for countless designers.

he current show at the Wired Gallery, titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;No People, No Trees,â&#x20AC;? consists of works by four artists that share certain characteristics. After guest curator Ward Mintz was invited by gallery-owner Sevan Melikyan to organize a show, Mintz chose Kathy Erteman, Deborah Freedman, Lara Giordano and Pat Travis Rosenberg based on the fact that each, as he eloquently explained in a statement, eschews Minimalism and sees â&#x20AC;&#x153;abstraction through a variety of lenses: the forces of nature, textile fragments and memory, sacred geometry, bold texture and complex color.â&#x20AC;? Also, each lives within a short distance of the gallery (another of his requirements and a tribute to the robustness of the local arts community, in that one doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to travel far to discover work that engages both the mind and the spirit). Though the show is small, confined to one room, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot to look at. Each body of work represents an extended invitation to the eye; consisting mainly of paintings and monotypes, each series also complements the others, even as they take the viewer on a separate journey. On the back wall are arrayed Deborah Freedmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s acrylic paintings, which channel waves, waterfalls and other natural forces and phenomena by means of expressive brushwork, lush color harmonies, often infused with deep tones of blue or green, and landscape-inspired compositions, which suggest deep space and churning movement (though, as the title of the show indicates, the landscape reference isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t so literal as to depict a tree). Without a hint of sentimentality, Pat Travis Rosenbergâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s richly hued monotypes transform scraps of lace and vintage clothing she discovered in her mother-inlawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attic into distressed terrains, splayed specimen-like across the white ground, as if they were the fragments of a map or, in one case, a desiccated, fossilized creature resembling a discarded snakeskin. Contemplating them, one experiences sensual pleasure as well as a kind of cognitive dissonance: Spotting lace, a shirt and other recognizable objects, one wonders about their former owners while simultaneously being mesmerized by rivulets of patterned paint suggesting organic decay and the surface of an alien planet. Lara Giordanoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diagrammatic paintings of vessels â&#x20AC;&#x201C; each intriguing form filling the paper, as if it were a heraldic shield â&#x20AC;&#x201C; are

13 straightforward, but also imbued with subtle distinctions and half-erased marks, with some reading as silhouetted graphic forms, others outlined delicately in red, adorned with designs, or solidly colored and radiating pale, luminous washes of color. Also on display are several of her mixed-media Sacred Geometry pieces, which depict small, three-dimensional diagrammatic geometric forms enigmatically floating in a wash of delicate color, in which thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a hint of spectral patterns, as if the meditative vision were appearing before our very eyes. Each piece signifies a dawning awareness and fresh discovery that celebrate the process of creation itself. Kathy Erteman, the sole ceramicist (besides making her own art pieces, Erteman designs ceramics for Tiffany, Crate & Barrel and other brands), is represented by one of her stunning oblong vessel pieces and several monotypes. The rough, striated surface texture of the piece, which is broken by two horizontal black rectangles â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a Minimalist design that yet conveys a sense of ancient tradition â&#x20AC;&#x201C; clearly relates to Ertemanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s monotypes and wall pieces, which are mostly in black-and-white and depict oblong forms, like standing stones, against a textured ground. Mintz said that yet another reason he chose these artists is that their work isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily familiar to the locals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kathy is known in the ceramics world, but not in the broader one of fine artists,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pat has only shown once, in a lifestyle gallery. Deborah has shown everywhere, but not in the Hudson Valley, and Lara is known as the art teacher extraordinaire,â&#x20AC;? he noted, referring in this last instance to Giordanoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s former career at Kingston High School and the two art education programs she runs in Kingston. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a satisfying debut for Mintz as well, who in his long career as a museum administrator organized hundreds of shows, but hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t curated an art exhibit in the mid-Hudson Valley until now. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Lynn Woods â&#x20AC;&#x153;No People, No Trees: Four Artists and Abstraction â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Kathy Erteman, Deborah Freedman, Lara Giordano, Pat Travis Rosenberg,â&#x20AC;? curated by Ward Mintz, Saturday/Sunday through October 27, 11 a.m.-4 p.m., Wired Gallery, 11 Mohonk Road, High Falls; thewiredgallery@ gmail.com, (682) 564-5613.

Tehran Conference talk with Bret Baier in Hyde Park

The Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum presents an author talk and signing with Bret Baier, chief political anchor for Fox News Channel and author of Three Days at the Brink: FDR’s Daring Gamble to Win World War II, on Monday, October 21. With the fate of World War II in doubt and Nazi assassins rumored to be on his trail, President Roosevelt traveled in secret to Tehran for a clandestine meeting that plotted the war’s victorious endgame. Though now overshadowed by Yalta and later summits, those critical three days at the edge of the desert forever altered the path of history. This is the subject of a new reappraisal of the Tehran Conference. This is a free public event, but registration is required. Bret Baier talk on Tehran Conference Monday, Oct. 21, 11 a.m. Free Henry A. Wallace Center at the FDR Presidential Library and Home 4079 Albany Post Rd.

Roselee Blooston reads Trial by Family at Kingston Barnes & Noble on Saturday

Built in 1845, this former Masonic Temple is being transformed into a one-of-a-kind event space in the heart of the Queen City.

RENOVATION

Poughkeepsie Masonic Temple to become events venue Revel 32°

Trial by Family is Roselee Blooston’s cautionary tale meant to urge: Get your relationships and your material affairs in order. Grow up. Make amends before it’s too late. In a family dynamic where none of this is securely in place, unforeseen complications wreak havoc for an aging father, three bickering adult siblings and a cunning – if not outright wicked –stepmother. Aptly compared to a Shakespearean entanglement, Blooston’s story of “need, greed, love and money” pulls the reader through each character’s perspective and exposes their individual shortcomings. But it’s hard not to take sides when the stepmother and her own offspring attempt to finagle a large amount of money from this, her third husband, while he can still sign documents in her favor. When his health begins to fail rapidly and his son and two estranged daughters discover the ruse, their move to rectify the situation and protect their inheritance pushes everyone involved to the limits of their already-tenuous commitments to each other. Blooston’s last book, Death in Dubai, recounted the true story of her husband’s sudden mortal illness that occurred when he was doing business in the Middle East. Pushing through her own shock, she and her son traveled to Dubai to recover his body, which turned out to be a complicated process. Recovering from the mystery of his somewhat alternate life in that foreign place took even longer. The stark event interrupted the author’s

hen a performance and events setting is already listed in wedding publications like The Knot and Wedding Wire, and it’s the new focus for entertainment productions by the nearby Bardavon 1869 Opera House – before renovation of the one-time Masonic Temple is even completed – you know something’s happening in the heart of Poughkeepsie. Jim and Gina Sullivan literally established their “street cred” by converting one building on the block when they opened 40 Cannon Street with its apartment complex, brewery, wine bar and coffeeshop. Now, with other family members joining them in the endeavor, they’ve purchased the building complex next door to transform it into a one-of-a-kind event space. Named Revel 32°, the massive 1845 building is being repurposed for fun and celebration, all with the intention to honor its past history and grandeur. It’s a huge project. I asked how it works to have multiple relatives as co-owners involved in such a hands-on project. Gina Sullivan tells me that, so far, it has worked well. “Everybody is good at something, and everyone stays in their lane. It’s worked out perfectly. My husband’s a contractor. We’ve been developing in Poughkeepsie for about ten years, starting with dilapidated vacant homes. We’ve been able to bring them back to their former beauty, and we’ve kept them. I take over and manage the properties. “When 40 Cannon came along, it was much bigger than anything we’d ever done. We had a different vision for this: to be part of the revitalization of the City on a bigger scale. Then next door went up for sale two months after our ribbon-cutting, and with our proximity to it, we cared about what happened there. We’ve always admired this building. We spoke with the Masons, who were operating on a much smaller scale by then. We saw what it could be and took the risk.” The structure is about 20,000 square feet, with eight rooms: two that are very large and one with a stage and balcony. First built as a church, it was taken over by the Masons during the height of their activities in the area. The Sullivans have striven to respect some of their iconic design features, like the stained-glass windows in one room and the basic architecture of the building overall. “The entire building was filled with historical documents. The Masons took everything they wanted, but there was still a lot left. We donated that to the Dutchess County Historical Society. There’s an exhibit now in the lobby of 40 Cannon, which includes some of the artifacts about the history of Poughkeepsie. We invited the public to come in and search through the artifacts – people who knew the history of the Masons. Everything had a specific meaning. “We did a lot of redesigning, leaving it pretty much the way it was, but with more neutral colors. And we want the front to look the way it did in the 19th century. People have not been in this building because it’s not been open to the public. They’ve always passed it by. Even for us, we had no idea how amazing it was, even though we’ve been next door to it for this long. The potential keeps growing: conferences, meetings and even festivals. It’s a unique space in the heart of the City, it’s affordable and we have plenty of parking across the street.” Currently the New York Academy of Ballet is the first and only permanent tenant, but inquiries from not-for-profit groups and other art organizations indicate that filling the venue with temporary programs will happen easily. Renovations in the various rooms are being done in phases, including a rooftop space that overlooks the City center and the landscape beyond. “You could get married up there, or have a cocktail party. So far what people seem to like is that we have a catering kitchen, but we don’t have a caterer. You can bring in a $10-per-person pizza party or hold an elaborate high-end affair. You’re not stuck to a menu or a pricing package. We supply tables and chairs. We have other private things booked, but we hope to do more with the Bardavon, like a pre-theater or afterparty for them. We’re not into the production of shows. So, what they’re offering in partnering with us is invaluable.” The Bardavon is teaming up with Revel 32° for a Grand Opening dress-to-impress dance party, to be held on Saturday, November 23 at 7 p.m. Remember Jones, a 12-piece soul band, will play two sets, including one featuring works from the Amy Winehouse album Back to Black. General admission tickets cost $20 in advance, $25 on the night of the show; limited $50 VIP tickets gives guests access to the exclusive Square and Compass balcony lounge for a champagne party. All tickets are available on Ticketmaster, through the Bardavon box office or at the 40 Cannon Street management office during daytime business hours. Put it on your calendar, and check out www.facebook.com/revel32 for other upcoming events. Please note that Revel 32° is not currently accessible to all persons. The addition of an elevator and other accessibility renovations are in the planning stages; for now, if mobility is an issue, patrons should call (845) 345-1722 for special accommodations. – Ann Hutton Revel 32°, 32 Cannon Street, Poughkeepsie; (845) 345-1722, www.revel32.com

Trial by Family had, in fact, already been written and workshopped in a writers’ group before her husband’s death. After Death in Dubai was released in 2016, Blooston returned to the novel – a work of fiction equally disturbing in its premise that human beings are fallible, often deviously so. I asked, What’s next? I have a play coming up in Rhinebeck in

January, written around 2006, when I was first working on this novel. It was read in New York City, never fully produced, but it won an award. I have a couple of memoirs in partial stages. I have short stories that could be published as a collection. I’m writing something about my life in the theater, my first career, where I had encounters with a bunch of Oscarwinning actresses that impacted me. I tentatively titled it Almost: My Life in the Theater. It’s about ambition, failure and the drive to create. What happens when

your big dream doesn’t pan out in the way you wanted it to? Obviously, I’ve survived. Now the theater has come back into my life as a playwright. But this [memoir] is tough, because I was such an ambitious person. I was so disappointed in myself for

best I can do with this; this is what it is”? I’m thinking of the two sisters, Alyssa and Lorraine. Oftentimes, a fictional ending wraps up like a happiness tale. These were hard characters to write, and oddly, I found the men easier to write than the women. It’s hard to handle the nuance in what can they fix and what they can’t fix. You can’t turn it into roses and sunshine. I still think there’s hope at the end that there may be something… It was hard to think through it and decide that it’s okay to leave it here. Endings are difficult. In fiction it’s very hard to know where to stop. I didn’t ever think I would tie it up with a bow. Sometimes in fiction, we want what we can’t have in life. But there’s an understanding to really call it like it is. The sisters are different people. They may never be fully able to understand each other. That can be comforting in some maybe-not-so-easy way. Letting go is a big part of what this is. A lot of us don’t know how to do it. So, with no bow wrapped around it, is there a moral to this story? The sibling protagonists are all in their 40s, and none of them are fully grown up. Then standing up in trial against their stepmother to defend their legacy, their father’s legacy, even their mother’s legacy on some level – they have to earn a genuine adulthood that way. They have to face themselves and each other in a way that moves them from where they were stuck. All three of them were stuck in some way, and they grow because of this crisis. Had that not happened, they

might have been that kid in their head, even when they’re in their 60s and 70s.

It hurts an older fellow like me to refer to the popular Woodstock-area progressive band 3 as “venerable,” “veteran” or an “institution.” See, I remember them as the young ‘uns, the upstart club band led by the ferociously talented, not-yet-legal Joey Eppard of the Eppard clan: a family that has left its pawmarks all over the national music industry. Driven by Eppard’s complex, percussive, kinesthetically remarkable acoustic guitarplaying, early 3 seemed of a piece with the funk-inflected, organic grooverock of the mid-’90s. They didn’t stay on that spot long, though. Epic forms, classical counterpoint and a visionary lyrical grope better suited Eppard’s talents, and eventually he surrounded himself with kindred spirits who had the chops to hang with him: the artful shredder Billy Riker on electric guitar, multi-talented bassist and singer Daniel Grimsland and the fierce, creative drummer Chris Gartmann, who had previously anchored Peacebomb, a dizzyingly good Ulster County bar

Oct. 17, 2019 band of the ’90s. But a veteran, venerable institution they are – a prolific, imaginative and wildly impressive band onstage and instudio. Outside certain niches of feverish interest, prog has been a tough sell in the marketplace for as long as this band has existed, and 3 has achieved just about as much validation as the modern prog genre is able to confer. “Prog” is just a word, of course, and while 3 may share in the genre’s conceptual and formal ambitions, their music is lithe, lean and melodyrich in a tradition often dismissed for its joyless, sneakers-in-a-dryer mechanics. The band has released six studio records, toured with the likes of Dream Theater, Porcupine, prog/metal legends Opeth and the Scorpions. In so doing, they accumulated a national cult following and a reputation as a dark prog connoisseur’s choice. Three reunites to play the huge backroom theater at BSP on Friday, October 25.

STAGE

BOEING BOEING NOW AIRBORNE AT PHOENICIA PLAYHOUSE

he Phoenicia Playhouse is currently running a revival of Boeing Boeing, a classic ’60s-era door-slammer sex farce, written by Marc Camoletti and translated into English by Beverley Cross and Francis Evans. The premise of this frantically fast-paced comedy is that an American self-styled playboy named Bernard keeps a swinging bachelor pad in Paris, where, on different days of the week, he entertains flight attendants (or stewardesses, as they were known back then) working for three different airlines. Each one has her own key to the apartment and thinks that she’s engaged to marry Bernard. He relies on their conflicting flight schedules and the formidable cleaning skills of his long-suffering French maid Berthe to keep them from ever crossing paths or detecting evidence of one another’s visitations. This fool’s paradise is doomed, of course, as advances in jet engine technology speed up the arrivals of Gloria, the American, Gabriella, the Italian, and Gretchen, the German. Everything starts to fall apart the same day that a former schoolmate of Bernard’s, Robert, drops in for a visit en route to a family gathering. Somehow it becomes the hapless, clumsy Robert’s task to herd the women into different rooms and make up excuses for why their mutual fiancé has “just stepped out on business.” And even more improbably, somehow the three women begin to discern (and cultivate) hitherto-unsuspected charm in the nerdy friend, just as the formerly suave Bernard degenerates into a blithering nervous wreck amidst the ever-accelerating chaos. Michael Koegel directs a cast that includes Wil Anderson, Caitlin Connelly, Daniela Goldberg, David Smilow, Christa Trinler and Geneva Turner. Boeing Boeing runs Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. through October 27 at the Phoenicia Playhouse, and then transfers to the Orpheum Theater in Tannersville for two more shows the following weekend: at 8 p.m. on Saturday, November 2 and 2 p.m. on Sunday the third. Tickets cost $20 general admission, $18 for seniors and students.

Spirituality

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 to-
