A New Paltz Halloween Spooktacular at Elting Library on Saturday, Night of 100 Pumpkins at the Bakery October 31
C
all me biased, but my hometown of New Paltz has really established itself as the bar of community-based Halloween celebration excellence in the last few decades. Even without the extraordinarily theatrical Guenther House presentations of the past, New Paltz still rocks Halloween with imagination and scope. It’s a villagewide transformation. This year, a number of observances supplement the great village parade on the night itself. The Elting Memorial Library is hosting an all-ages Halloween Spooktacular on Sunday, October 27 from 5 to 7:30 p.m. There will be a costume contest, haunted house, crafts, games and a friendly witch’s cottage. Admission is free and refreshments will be on sale to support the library’s youth group. For more information call the Elting Library at (845) 255-5030. The Bakery in New Paltz is hosting its 30th annual Night of 100 Pumpkins pumpkin-carving contest. To enter, bring a pumpkin to the Bakery on North Front Street on October 30. Local artists will judge the pumpkins. Lots of prizes, all donated by local businesses, will be awarded. Adults and children are judged separately. All pumpkin entrants receive a free Jack o’ Lantern cookie. On Halloween Night, October 31 from 6 to 9 p.m., come to the Bakery and see all the pumpkins lit. Enjoy free hot cider, cocoa and pumpkin bread. For more information, visit www.ilovethebakery.com or call (845) 255-8840. – John Burdick

HISTORY new houses with black paint in 1891. Two hundred boys in Washington, DC, used bags of flour to attack well-dressed folks on streetcars in 1894,” relates an article by Lesley Bannatyne in Smithsonian Magazine (https://bit.ly/365Nc2u). “In this era, when Americans generally lived in small communities and better knew their neighbors, it was often the local grouch who was the brunt of Halloween mischief.” The growth of cities, and tensions between ethnic groups, took most of the fun out of such pranks, whose seriousness began to escalate, inspiring civic leaders to seek to establish alternative ways for youth to celebrate. The mid-20th-century press termed it the “Halloween problem.”
The postwar suburbanization of America made doorto-door solicitation logistically simple, and corporations soon seized on the marketing potential of Halloween candy and costumes.

The phrase “trick or treat” didn’t appear in print until 1927 in Canada and 1932 in the US. Before that, Halloween in North America was primarily commemorated as a time for ritual vandalism.
How treating supplanted tricking on Halloween in America
T
here’s scarcely an American left alive today who remembers the days when treats weren’t the primary focus of the practice of trick-or-treating. Although there are communities in this country where the eve of the Feast of All Saints/Hallows is still labeled Hell Night or Mischief Night, causing headaches for local law enforcement and inspiring enforced
curfews, the days when the holiday was mainly about creating chaos are long gone, replaced by a mandate to stock up on miniature chocolates for distribution on demand to small humans. Ironically, the phrase “trick or treat” didn’t appear in print until 1927 in Canada and 1932 in the US. Before that, Halloween in North America was primarily commemorated as a time for
ritual vandalism. “Kids strung ropes across sidewalks to trip people in the dark, tied the doorknobs of opposing apartments together, mowed down shrubs, upset swill barrels, rattled or soaped windows, and, once, filled the streets of Catalina Island with boats. Pranksters coated chapel seats with molasses in 1887, exploded pipe bombs for kicks in 1888 and smeared the walls of
Newspaper editorials during the 1940s invoked the spirit of patriotism, decrying soaping windows as wasteful of rationed soap and the practice of ringing doorbells and running away as disruptive to the sleep of war workers. Articles touting trick-ortreating as a benign alternative began to appear in the 1930s, and radio and early television programs such as The Baby Snooks Show, The Jack Benny Program, The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet and a 1952 Donald Duck promulgated the concept more widely. The postwar suburbanization of America made door-to-door solicitation logistically simple, and corporations soon seized on the marketing potential of Halloween candy and costumes. For most Baby Boomers and the generations who followed them, greed for free sweets has long supplanted the urge to throw eggs at passing cars or swing knotted gym socks full of chalk at any handy inanimate object. Compounding the irony is the fact that, for many centuries, begging for treats door-to-door at Allhallowtide was a staple activity in the Old World that, for inexplicable reasons, didn’t initially survive the colonization of the New World – except in Mexico’s tradition of calaveras (sugar skulls) for el Día de los Muertos. Samhain, the Pagan precursor of Halloween in Celtic lands, was a fire festival, bidding farewell to the reign of the solar god with bonfires, in which were baked small cakes called bannocks that were used to foretell the future. It was the Pagan New Year and a “liminal” time when the veil separating the realms of the living and the dead was thinnest. The lingering souls of all who had died in the previous year were thought to be able at last to “pass over” during that time – whence the association with ghosts, ghouls and skeletons. When Christianity came to the British Isles, November 1 was celebrated as All Saints’ Day and November 2 as All Souls’ Day, syncretizing popular folk celebrations into a more orthodox observance. On All Souls’ Day, the faithful were supposed to pray for the souls of the departed. The ancient practice of mummers dressing

up as denizens of the Land of the Dead and performing door-to-door in exchange for coppers, cakes, apples, nuts, cider and ale morphed into “souling�: poor folk offering to say prayers for the souls of wealthier folk in exchange for “soul cakes.� These descendants of the bannocks baked in bonfires were typically flavored with spices, raisins and currants, and sometimes marked with a cross to denote that they were alms. Souling was also done in the week before Christmas, crossing over with the age-old practice of wassailing. In some areas, soulers dressed up in costumes; the practice, known as “guising� in Scotland and transported to Canada, was the direct ancestor of our modern-day Halloween costumes. And so the process of cultural flux comes full circle. If the presence on your doorstep on All Hallows’ Eve of teenagers you deem “too old to be trick-or-treating� seems irksome, consider this: They could be wrecking your landscaping or splashing paint on your walls instead. So, enjoy their getups, give them a candy bar and an ungrudging smile. It might even earn some brownie points for your soul. – Frances Marion Platt
Haunted Huguenots
The custom of scaring people by carrying a lit candle inside a hollowed-out vegetable is far older than Colonial America.
HISTORY
How Jack acquired his lantern A folktale crosses the Atlantic
W
ho is this Jack fellow and what is he doing with a lantern carved out of a pumpkin, anyway? Glad you asked. Being a cucurbit native to the New World, the pumpkin part is what Americanized an old folktale from the British Isles. And Washington Irving’s yarn, “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,� canonized the notion of a pumpkin-headed specter as a staple of Halloween lore. The Headless Horseman encountered by Ichabod Crane in the story is supposedly the ghost of a Hessian soldier whose head was carried off by a cannonball during the American Revolution. It was a stroke of genius on the part of the character Brom Bones to impersonate the ghost and scare off the feckless schoolmaster who was stalking his girlfriend, Katrina van Tassel, in spite of her efforts to discourage his courtship, by chucking a large ripe pumpkin at the highly superstitious Crane in lieu of a head. But the custom of scaring people by carrying a lit candle inside a hollowed-out vegetable is far older than Colonial America. “Jack o’ Lantern� was once a generic nickname in England for a night watchman. The name later began to be used synonymously with Will o’ the Wisp, to denote the imagined bearer of lights in swampy areas, where methane generated by the decomposition of plant material sometimes spontaneously ignites. Among the folktales told to explain this mysterious chemical phenomenon are the adventures of Stingy Jack, a miserly trickster said to have outwitted the Devil on several occasions. He trapped the Devil in the form of a coin paid to cover the tab at a tavern after a drinking bout, and again at the top of a tree where he had sent him climbing after fruit or a bird’s nest, by marking a cross in a strategic place. The terms of setting the Devil free included not claiming Jack’s soul when he died. That turned out not to be the smartest bargain after all. Like the woman turned out of Hell for being meaner than its inhabitants in the famous British Isles ballad “The Farmer’s Curst Wife,� Jack finds himself homeless in the afterlife, since Heaven won’t have him either. So he roams the world in a sort of eternal twilight, bearing the lantern that he made to find his way back up out of the nether regions: a smoldering coal lifted from the floor of Hell’s antechamber, tucked inside a hollowed-out turnip. Most likely this would have been a rutabaga (or Swede, as the large yellow form of turnip is popularly known in Britain), rather than the common small white-and-purple turnip. Thus he became Jack o’ Lantern, who, according to the Irish at least, wanders the marshlands bearing a small, flickering light until the end of the world. Repurposing root vegetables as lanterns to find one’s way home in the dark – or to spook small children for the fun of it – was apparently not an uncommon practice in the Old World in the days before flashlights were invented. In Eastern European countries, beets were sometimes used. When the settlers got to America and were introduced to the easily carved and hollowed pumpkin, it was perfectly natural for the new vessel to be adopted as a substitute. Try carving a scary face into a rock-hard rutabaga and you’ll see why. – Frances Marion Platt

couple of hours at the movies. Now Steven Soderbergh takes up the torch of outrage over how today’s arcane structures of shell corporations and untaxable offshore holdings screw the little guy in The Laundromat, with a screenplay by his frequent collaborator Scott Z. Burns that’s based on Jake Bernstein’s book Secrecy World: Inside the Panama Papers Investigation of Illicit Money Networks and the Global Elite. One thing all these films have in common is a willingness to step outside the “Show, don’t tell� mantra of conventional narrative and make liberal use of exposition, in order to ensure that the viewer understands economic structures that were intentionally designed to be so eyeball-glazing to the uninitiated that no one can stay motivated long enough to ask awkward questions about why said structures exist and whom they serve. That’s not an easy task to pull off within the film medium. Soderbergh bites the bullet by framing his story in a highly stylized series of fourth-wallbreaking speeches by Gary Oldman and
Antonio Banderas as Jßrgen Mossack and Ramón Fonseca, the two attorneys at the heart of the immense money-laundering network finally brought down by the 2015 Panama Papers data breach. Strolling and lounging about ridiculously fake-looking sets, dressed in exaggeratedly posh suits, the two partners revel in their ill-gotten gains as they disingenuously rationalize their ethics-be-damned methods. Oldman is particularly off-putting, sporting a terrible hairpiece and spewing an evenmore-egregious German accent. We know from his Oscar-winning turn as Winston Churchill that he can act persuasively even when encumbered by a pile of prosthetics, so clearly there’s something deliberately over-the-top going on here. It’s theater of the absurd, meant to beat down our reflexive resistance to an economics lecture with laughter. Mossack and Fonseca are our guides through a loosely connected series of vignettes about individuals on several continents who are power players, cogs or victims in a convoluted network of

corporate entities that exist mainly on paper. Characters who briefly command the spotlight in these miniyarns are portrayed by the likes of David Schwimmer, Jeffrey Wright, Nonso Anozie, Matthias Schoenaerts and Rosalind Chao, with brief cameos from Sharon Stone, Will Forte and Chris Parnell (the latter two billed as Doomed Gringo #1 and Doomed Gringo #2). Viewers may feel a little baffled at times by the episodic construction of the narrative, which seems to reflect the influence of Robert Altman on Soderbergh’s directorial style. But stick with it; ultimately the bits all come together. Our thread through this labyrinth is supplied by Meryl Streep as Ellen Martin, the fictionalized widow of one of the victims of the 2005 wreck of the tour boat Ethan Allen on Lake George. Her insurance claim falls through the holes in a multileveled net of phony corporations that have bought one another out to a point where there’s no accountability left, and mild-mannered Ellen gets ticked off enough to pursue the perpetrators with increasingly singleminded purpose.

T
here is and will only ever be one film about which the theater must admonish viewers: “No toast, rice or water please,� and then add, “Prop bags are for sale.� The Rosendale Theatre screens The Rocky Horror Picture Show on Saturday, October 26. The cult classic musical around which dozens of participatory material and verbal rituals developed was ahead of its time with the notion of interactivity. While its popularity has held steady for decades, the film now finds itself completely in sync with the cultural moment, in which lavish gender-bending laughs and musically overwrought fun are the reasons I can barely get a gig anymore. So be it. My child, a/k/a Strawberry, is doing quite well. As for the prop bags, I wonder if this is the collective’s attempt to make cleanup easier or to co-opt and monetize the film’s anarchic grassroots tradition. Subject for a different scholar.

seems like a harmless dingbat on the surface, only to reveal a core of steely resolve when that surface gets scratched. While some degree of justice prevails by the end of The Laundromat, there are no real winners, and the corrupt system that the story uncovers remains pervasive and unchecked so long as politics are driven by money. Ellen’s moment of vindication is uplifting only in the sense that it conveys some hope that human choices can occasionally make some difference in the usual outcomes of the agents of greed acting with total impunity. The need for profound structural change is our main takeaway. As cinema, The Laundromat isn’t going to work for everybody, but it may be the most genuinely politically subversive new movie that you’ll see in 2019. Not bad for a feature film crafted to entertain first and educate second. – Frances Marion Platt

heroine, Laurie Strode. It also launched the horror career of New York-born John Carpenter, who cowrote, directed and created the soundtrack for the film, cementing him as a mastermind auteur of the horror genre. CineLife Entertainment has partnered with Trancas International Films and Compass International Pictures to bring the film back to North American theaters this year in a restored and remastered digital print, created under the supervision of the film’s cinematographer, Dean Cundey.

MUSIC 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.

MIKE BLOCK HEADLINES RIDGE STRING FLING AT SUNY-NEW PALTZ ON SUNDAY
T
he famous cellist Mike Block headlines SUNY-New Paltz’s Ridge String Fling on Sunday, October 27 at the McKenna Theatre. The Grammy Award-winning member of the Silk Road Ensemble has been called the “ideal musician of the 21st century” by Ensemble founder Yo-Yo Ma, who is something of a cello authority. Block has taken a lead role in the fusion of folk, pop and classical traditions, working with kindred spirits like the classical/roots violinist/composer Mark O’Connor and with pop eminences as well, including will.i.am, Stevie Wonder and Bon Iver. His show features a mixture of original compositions, arrangements of traditional folk music and classical selections. The cost is $8 for the general public; $6 for seniors and SUNY-New Paltz faculty, staff and alumni and $3 for students. Registration for the full day of Ridge String Fling offerings – which includes the 1 p.m. string improvisation workshop with Block, a ticket to Block’s solo recital and a Ridge String Fling tee-shirt – costs $20. Block’s improvisation workshop and chamber music master class (2:45 p.m.) will be held in the Shepard Recital Hall.

The award will be presented at the 59th annual Musical America Awards ceremony at Carnegie Hall in December. Note it well that this award recognizes the 81-yearold composer’s current music, not her aggregate career achievement, which has and will continue to reap honors.

HVP Moon Landing concert at Bardavon
T
he Hudson Valley Philharmonic (HVP) launches its 60th anniversary season in grand style at the Bardavon on Saturday, October 26 with “Moon Landing,” a program of music and projected images from outer space. Throughout his long and decorated run with the HVP, conductor Randall Craig Fleischer has always been amenable to genre transgressions and to programmatic collisions between concert music and other arts and sciences. As concert music surges internationally in popularity, defiantly putting the lie to its oft-repeated obituaries, the mid-Hudson Valley would do well to reflect on the forward-looking vision of Maestro Fleischer, who for years has steered this generally traditional outfit in daring and quietly radical ways. The program is synched to the 50th anniversary of the Moon landing. It includes Mozart’s Jupiter Symphony, No. 41; Prokofiev’s ambitious Violin Concerto No. 2, featuring 2018 HVP String Competition winner Cherry Choi Tung Yeung; and Maurice Ravel’s spectacularly lush, alien and dynamic Daphnis et Chloé Suites No. 1 & 2, accompanied by visuals from outer space by Dr. José Francisco Salgado. Single tickets cost $20 to $58 based on location. Moon Landing, Sat., Oct. 26, 8 p.m., $20-$58, Bardavon, 35 Market St., Poughkeepsie, (845) 473-2072, www.bardavon.org

The other series in the show, Lifelines, combines photographs of plants, flowers and other natural specimens with gestural drawing, in which the images are submerged within thick skeins of black lines. “In our world, these two lifelines are interrelated,” Shaw said. “These pieces acknowledge the interconnectedness of plants and the artist and our place in the world.” The show opens on October 26. A conversation between myself and Shaw, including a brief overview of the artist’s previous work, is scheduled from 4 to 5 p.m., with questions welcome from the audience, followed by a reception from 5 to 8 p.m. The exhibition is shown with the support of the Center for Photography at Woodstock.

predominantly in his art. Inspired by a self-portrait of Vincent Van Gogh that he observed on a trip to Amsterdam earlier this year, Shaw fused his photograph of the painting with a photographic portrait of himself and drew repeatedly over the image. Thus the template for the No Self series was established, in which a photographic image, usually of his face, is covered with marks, reshot and reworked by both constructing and deconstructing the image until a resolution is reached. “I’m fascinating by what we give for art,” said Shaw, noting that on the initial image that incorporated the painting by Van Gogh, he “drew bloody, abstract energies over the face.” Other doppelgangers who have been woven into the works are selfportraits by Max Beckmann and paintings
by Alberto Giacometti, specifically one depicting a figure with its throat cut. Such violent imagery alludes to “the way we change and bring into our art certain memories or feelings,” said Shaw. “Like the weather, the self is in constant flux, which is why I kept coming back to these pieces over and over again.” The eerie results, in which the face is both obscured and nakedly exposed, minus its defenses, is achieved in part from Shaw’s omnivorous use of materials, including not only ink and paint but also plaster dust and even, in one case, a small pile of twigs that he picked up from the ground and transferred, undisturbed, to the piece. He used his iPhone to shoot the images: a portable tool that, besides enabling him to riff endlessly on the motif, simultaneously

The Sioux Chef Bard hosts talk on indigenous food systems of North America with Sean Sherman on Tuesday
Y
ou’ve savored farmto-table dining and tried to steer your diet, as much as possible, toward locally sourced ingredients. But have you ever had a “decolonized dinner”? That’s a meal that uses nothing that wasn’t already grown or gathered by the aboriginal people of a continent pre-contact with colonizing cultures. It’s a specialty of chef Sean Sherman, Oglala Lakota from the Pine Ridge reservation and founder of the Minnesota-based company The Sioux Chef. Sherman’s first book, The Sioux Chef ’s Indigenous Kitchen, was awarded the James Beard Medal for Best American Cookbook for 2018. Over a 30-year career as chef and food educator, he has studied extensively to determine the foundations of indigenous food systems to bring back a sense of Native American cuisine to today’s world. In October 2017, Sherman and his team were able to perform the first-ever decolonized dinner at the James Beard House in Manhattan.
Chef Sherman comes to the LUMA Theater at the Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts at Bard College at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, October 29 to give a talk on “The (R)evolution of Indigenous Food Systems of North America,” followed by a questionand-answer session and booksigning. Copies of The Sioux Chef ’s Indigenous Kitchen will be available for purchase, and Ken Greene of Seedshed will showcase Haudenosaunee crops grown in the Native American Seed Sanctuary, a collaborative initiative among the St. Regis Mohawk tribe, Seedshed and the Hudson Valley Farm Hub.

Foiling the fruit fly ational Fruit Fly Month – October – is drawing to a close. (That designation is my own, not the federal government’s.) Sure, a few still flit about here and there. But no longer do clouds of them hover over bowls of fruit in my kitchen. In case you haven’t experienced them, fruit flies, Drosophila species, are cute little (about eighth-inch-long) flies that feast on overripe and damaged fruit, as well as other plant material. I, and perhaps you, were first introduced to fruit flies in middle school biology, raising them on some mix of banana and agar-agar. In those days, I got more intimate with them as part of a science project: My project was to test whether X-rays cause mutations. My dentist agreed to help. After raising a batch of flies, I

Fortunately, fruit flies are easy to trap. And one of their favored baits, vinegar, is readily available. “proved” X-rays benign (as least as far as could be detected morphologically by a 13-year-old). Fruit flies’ fecundity is what has earned them prominent positions in science. An adult lives for only about a month, but during that tenure she may lay as many as 500 eggs. The courtship ritual of those little guys and gals is intricate, involving a kind of dance along with some instrumentation, provided by sounds from leg tapping, and some singing. Each gal gets involved with a number of guys. Fun fact: Despite the small size of fruit flies, they have the longest sperm cells of any known organism – over two inches long for D. bifurca. Most of that length is the sperm’s tail. During mating, those tails are wound up in tightly tangled coils. Fruit flies are very interesting and useful in the lab, but not in the kitchen. The flies lay eggs on the surfaces of fruits and vegetables. The eggs hatch into larvae that feed, in time turning the fruits and vegetables into a slimy mush. After molting twice, they morph into adults, who flit away to generate more offspring. Growing up, I only knew fruit flies from the lab, never my mother’s kitchen. Why do they invade my kitchen? One possibility could be the smörgåsbord my garden provides, more than ever spread on counters of that kitchen of yore. Also, refrigeration drastically slows the flies’ development, but also can suppress or ruin flavors (tomatoes, for example) or speed wilting (lettuce, for example); I only refrigerate for longer-term storage, not usually for fresh eating. And being homegrown, my fruits and vegetables need not aspire to the same cosmetic standards as commercial fruits and vegetables. Small wounds that I ignore or cut away provide access to fruitfly activity. Still, I can’t let the flies run amok. Fortunately, fruit flies are easy to trap. And one of their favored baits, vinegar, is readily available. (Fruit flies have also been called “vinegar flies.”) Just put out a glass of vinegar and you’ll soon see a crowd of fruit flies flocking to it. That, of course, doesn’t trap them. Make that glass of vinegar into a trap by adding a little soap or detergent to the vinegar to decrease its surface tension, so that, once in the drink, the fly can’t fly out. Various kinds of vinegars are effective. Some people recommend apple cider vinegar, or cider vinegar with a slice of banana thrown in. My preference is for balsamic vinegar. A mix of sugar, yeast and water also works. Look on the web and you’ll see all sorts of more intricate (but none very intricate) traps for fruit flies. My method is to take a plastic carryout container with a lid, punch or drill an eighth-inch-wide wide hole in the lid, pour some balsamic vinegar into the container and then replace the lid. October isn’t the only month of prominence for fruit flies. They are out there whenever the weather is congenial and food is available. One of them, spotted wing drosophila (SWD), is fairly unusual in that this species need not wait for a fruit to be overripe, damaged or nearly rotting to attack. It

Lichens look like plants – granted, very drab plants that don’t photosynthesize – but they aren’t: They are composite organisms, colonies of algae or cyanobacteria living amongst the filaments of fungi.
NATURE
LICHEN WALK ON ROSENDALE’S JOPPENBERGH MOUNTAIN ON SUNDAY
A
mericans pronounce their name “likens”; Brits tend to rhyme it with “kitchens.” However you say it, for all their unassuming appearance, lichens are truly remarkable organisms. They cover an estimated six percent of the Earth’s land surface, growing on tree bark as well as rocks and soil. Reindeer/caribou depend on them as their primary winter food source, having evolved a specialized gut enzyme called lichenase to be able to digest their dry, leathery efflorescences. They live such a long time, growing at such a slow and predictable pace, that there’s a scientific method called lichenometry that can date a geological event such as a rockslide based on their growth. Superficially, lichens look like plants – granted, very drab plants that don’t photosynthesize – but they aren’t: They are composite organisms, colonies of algae or cyanobacteria living amongst the filaments of fungi. Want to learn more? Join naturalist Lynn Bowdery of the John Burroughs Natural History Society as she leads a two-hour hike on Joppenbergh Mountain in Rosendale on Sunday morning to explore lichen habitats and identify different types. Wear shoes suitable for venturing off-trail, and bring a strong magnifier or loupe if you have one. The group will meet at 10 a.m. on Sunday, October 27 at the parking area for Willow Kiln Park, behind the Rosendale Theatre, reached via Hardenburgh Lane, off Main Street (Route 213) in downtown Rosendale. This outing will be canceled in the event of rain. There is no fee, but preregistration by e-mailing lynn@bowderys.com is helpful.

threatens intact, even underripe fruit such as raspberries, blueberries and other fruits of summer. SWD is a relatively recent arrival on the garden scene (2008 in California, 2013 in my garden). At first it seemed that was going to be the end of blueberries, my favorite fruit. Over the years, I’ve been able to mitigate damage. Early on, I tried sprays of Entrust and Neem, as per recommendations. But even though organically approved, for me these sprays take some of the enjoyment out of growing and eating the berries. Fine mesh covering over a whole planting has also been tried (effective, but not tried by me). This year, and for the past few years, my blueberry planting has yielded its usual good harvests utilizing a multipronged approach. For starters, I grow a dozen or so varieties that extend the season from late June until early September. Here, at least, SWD is inconsequential until early August, by which time our bellies and the freezer are almost full of berries. In the latter part of July, I hang out traps, one per bush, that I’m helping test for Cornell’s Peter Jentsch. They are baited with raspberry essence laced with boric acid, which needs to be renewed by weekly spraying (of the trap, not the plants). After three years of testing, the traps seem to be effective. During summer, there’s always a bowl of freshly picked berries on the kitchen counter; by early August, fresh-picked fruit goes into the refrigerator or, if the freezer’s quota is not yet filled, also into the freezer. Any larvae within fruit are killed after three days of refrigeration. Fruit flies and even SWD, despite their
fecundity, aren’t about to take over the world. These pests have their pests, which include yellowjackets, ants, various other kinds of flies and even smaller creatures, such as nematodes. Quoting Jonathan Swift, “a flea, Hath smaller fleas that on him prey; And these have smaller fleas to bite ’em, and so proceed ad infinitum.” – Lee Reich
Talk on conspiracy theorists at FDR site on Tuesday The Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum presents a conversation and book-signing with Anna Merlan, author of Republic of Lies: American Conspiracy Theorists and Their Surprising Rise to Power, and Alexander Heffner, host of PBS’ The Open Mind on Tuesday, October 29. Republic of Lies looks beyond the caricatures of conspiracy theorists to explain their tenacity. Without lending the theories validity, Merlan gives a nuanced, sympathetic account of the people behind them, across the political spectrum, and the circumstances that helped them take hold.

Colony hosts Verna Gillis’ Tales from Geriassic Park Oct. 27 The title alone – Tales from Geriassic Park: On the Verge of Extinction – tells you most of what you need in advance of Verna Gillis’ one-woman show at Colony in Woodstock on Sunday, October 27. Irreverent, witty and aimed dead at a subject about which most people prefer not to speak, Gillis’ work is courageous and, in its way, activist. Ageism is real, especially in the arts, as this precocious young oldster can attest. No stranger to the arts, the ethnomusicologist and longtime Roswell Rudd partner/collaborator did not turn to storytelling until later in life, winning her first slam event nearly 10 years ago, at the age of 68. Validation has been fast in the coming. Tales from Geriassic Park won Best Comedic Script in 2014 at the United Solo Theatre Festival in New York City. Tickets for this Sunday afternoon show cost $20. – John Burdick Verna Gillis’ Tales from Geriassic Park Sunday, Oct. 27, 2 p.m. $20, Colony 22 Rock City Rd., Woodstock www.colonywoodstock.com

Nature’s magical compound Why water is life
Y
our brain is mostly made of it. So are your eyes. Thus, the present situation is basically water reading about water. It has been six years since we last explored this magical substance, so let’s take a deeper look. It’s hard not to appreciate H2O, despite it being the most common compound in the cosmos. Usually it takes the form of ice or gas, arrayed beautifully. The rings of Saturn are countless ice chunks. Comet tails are mostly water vapor. Most stars are surrounded by steam. Here on Earth, it mostly shows its rarest phase: liquid. Gaseous water never “shows itself ” at all, because it’s invisible. Clouds? They’re not vapor, but countless liquid drops – typically a million pounds’ worth of it. Teakettle vapor? No, you never see steam when you make tea. The two-inch transparent gap between a teapot’s spout and the white “steam”: that’s the actual gaseous H2O. The white stuff popularly called “steam” is where tiny liquid droplets are condensing. The water phase only exists in an extremely slender 180-degree temperature range, compared with the 482 degrees within which it exists as ice, and the thousands of degrees as vapor. And even that meager temperature band is not enough; the H2O must also be under pressure, supplied on this planet by our atmosphere’s weight. Only then do you experience liquidy magic. Next time you hold a glass of water, consider: Two-thirds of its contents are pure hydrogen, just like most of the universe. The glass’ other component, oxygen, is so much heavier than hydrogen (atom-by-atom, oxygen is 16 times more massive) that, even though there are twice as many hydrogen as oxygen atoms in water, seven-eighths of water’s weight is oxygen. Since your body is mostly water, two-thirds of your own weight is pure oxygen. So are other animals, and solar system bodies, too. When coyotes howl at the Harvest Moon, it’s basically oxygen howling at oxygen. Water’s strangest characteristic is this: The two hydrogen atoms chemically bonded to one oxygen atom that comprise water are not linked in a straight line (180 degrees), but at an angle of 105 degrees. This fact alone has made life on Earth possible, and perhaps on countless other worlds as well. The odd 105-degree angle gives the oxygen portion a more negative attraction and the hydrogen portion a more positive attraction. This results in water molecules aligning themselves. The oxygen of one bonds to the hydrogen of the next in a network of weak connections. So, instead of being a loose mixture of individual floating molecules, water is a latticework that behaves like a much-bigger structure. This little feature has tremendous significance: Without such hydrogen bonding, water would be like all the other molecules of its size and weight: like natural gas, a vapor at room temperature. This odd electrical hydrogen bonding is why your veins and brains are filled with fluid instead of gas. The topic arises because now, in late October, we’re about to say goodbye to rain and enter the half-year when we deal with frozen water. The biggest negative consequence
Since cold air can hold just one-thirtieth as much water vapor as very warm air, the substance we breathe is becoming desiccated.

DION OGUST | ALMANAC WEEKLY
Water’s strangest characteristic is this: The two hydrogen atoms chemically bonded to one oxygen atom that comprise water are not linked in a straight line (180 degrees), but at an angle of 105 degrees. This fact alone has made life on Earth possible, and perhaps on countless other worlds as well.
is that liquid runs off on its own, while snow and ice stay put and pile up. And, while there will soon be more H2O on the ground, there’s oddly less in the atmosphere. Since cold air can hold just one-thirtieth as much water vapor as very warm air, the substance we breathe is becoming desiccated. Even in our homes, the average relative humidity is now shifting from around 55 percent to less than 25 percent – often even 15 percent. This is bad for furniture, can cause a guitar soundboard to crack and can make noses and bronchial areas susceptible to viral attacks. We never escape the consequences of being water creatures. – Bob Berman Want to know more? To read Bob’s previous columns, visit our Almanac Weekly website at HudsonValleyOne.com.
