ometimes we find that good ol’ American “rugged individualism” ain’t all it’s cracked up to be, and that seeking strength in unity, leveraging the unique talents and specializations of diverse partners, is more effective than going it alone. On Saturday, May 21, we’ll get to experience what happens when two recently spawned regional spring festivals join forces: the Craft Brew Boogaloo and the Hudson Valley Hullabaloo. A project dreamed up by the folks at WDST/Radio Woodstock, the Craft Brew Boogaloo first surfaced last year at Cantine Field in Saugerties. Once again, it will feature more than 75 microbreweries – many though not all from New York State – offering more than 150 craft beers for the tasting. Two New Jersey brewers River Horse and Melovino Meadery, will be making their New York festival debuts here this year; and Queens-based Finback Brewing will make its first Hudson Valley appearance as one of the special offerings for VIP ticketholders only. The $99 VIP ticket also entitles the bearer to early entry to the event (1 p.m. instead of 2), a special tent, seating and indoor bathrooms, plus $15 worth of food coupons and a swag bag. Regular entry

costs $50 in advance, $55 on the day of the event. Designated Driver tickets cost $35 for VIP access and $10 for mere mortals. The 2016 lineup for live music includes the Sweet Clementines, Yard Sale, Fife & Drom and the Bryan Brundige Trio. Since its initial foray in 2013, the Hudson Valley Hullabaloo has been a Kingston event; but this year it’ll be joining the Boogaloo at Cantine Field. Billing itself as “a design-focused, hip-andhappening, family-friendly event whose… aim is to offer shoppers the opportunity to purchase unique, high-quality, locally made items in a relaxed, partylike setting,” the Hullabaloo takes some pains to distance itself verbally from the popular conception of a crafts fair. Essentially, it’s arty; it has youthful attitude; it’s very Brooklyn-on-Hudson. And you can even sample some microbrews and really let your hair down while you shop. Rose & Dale will be in attendance with their mobile photobooth, set up inside a shiny, renovated 1963 Airstream trailer. They supply mood lighting, creative props, masks, silly hats and the like, so you can go home with something to remind you of a day of commingled festivities. Admission to the Hullabaloo costs $2 at the gate; a $10 Premier Pass, purchasable

Five local businesses – Whitecliff Vineyard in Gardiner, Yard Owl Craft Brewery in Gardiner, Kettleborough Cider House in New Paltz, Bad Seed Cider in Highland and Gardiner Liquid Mercantile, a new restaurant/ store/bar in Gardiner that serves only local drinks – will come together on Saturday, May 21 to offer a $25 tasting tour with the theme of “bubbles.” Focusing on small-scale, high-quality craft alcohol production, “Apples, Grapes & Barley” is designed to introduce sippers to the broad variety of artisanal beverages bubbling up around the area, including fine champagne from locally grown Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes, small-batch kegconditioned beers and unique local hard ciders. Highlighting an emerging trend in agricultural development – one that aims toward diversity and traditional crop experimentation – the event celebrates the efforts of New York State growers and entrepreneurs to expand on the variety of products becoming available. Highquality, small-batch production is taking hold and bringing tourism to the area, as people expose themselves to the excellent tastes and textures of local brews, ciders and wines. And as Yancey StanforthMigliore, co-owner with Michael Migliore of Whitecliff Vineyard, writes, “The range of businesses involved says a lot about how

agriculture is changing in our area.” Each location on the tour will provide a sampling of four products and accompanying snacks, with specials and discounts available for ticketholders. All five stops are within 15 miles of each other, and tasting tickets can be purchased in advance at a discount for $20 at www. whitecliffwine.com or from any of the participating businesses. They can also be purchased for $25 at each business on the day of the tour. – Ann Hutton Apples, Grapes & Barley, Saturday, May 21, 12 noon-5 p.m., $25/$20, Whitecliff Vineyard, 331 McKinstry Road, Gardiner, (845) 255-4613, www.whitecliffwine. com; Yard Owl Craft Brewery, 19 Osprey Lane, Gardiner, (845) 255-3436, www. yardowlcraftbrewery.com; Kettleborough Cider House, 277 State Route 208, New Paltz, (845) 255-7717, www.kettleboroughciderhouse.com; Bad Seed Cider, 43 Bailey’s Gap Road, Highland, (845) 236-0956, www.badseedhardcider.com; Gardiner Liquid Mercantile, 128 Main Street, Gardiner, (845) 633-8764, www. gardinerliquidmercantile.com.

EXHIBITION

Outside in “Give ’Em Hell” exhibition by street artist Scout/Pines on view at TSL in Hudson

heets of rusty metal, reclaimed wood and stenciled graphics in spray paint: While graffiti-style art has long since gained recognition in mainstream culture, there’s still something odd about the juxtaposition of these elements of urban and industrial culture with a gallery setting. That feeling isn’t lost on Brian Buono, a/k/a Scout/Pines, whose most recent exhibition “Give ’Em Hell” is on display now in Hudson’s Time & Space Limited (TSL). “Everyone in a subculture starts putting things up in the street, but if you do enough, people notice,” says Buono, adding that his exhibits and his “public” art “feed into each other.” The gallery brings awareness, but spontaneous, unofficial exhibitions still have his heart. Buono is not a formally trained artist. He left his hometown of Rensselaer after high school to move to Oakland, California, where he had his primary exposure to street art and radical art. After returning to New York, Buono began working at the screenprinting department of the independent record label Equal Vision, where he first experimented with found objects and stenciling to create art. “There’s an unspoken kind of mentorship program [in this art scene],” he says, noting that in the days before the widespread use of the Internet, skills like his own were “all word-of-mouth. Someone really had to show you.” That someone, for Buono, was his co-worker and future co-creator, Chris Stain. In 2001, he partnered with the stencil artist from Baltimore and made his first pieces, which they displayed in group shows at TSL. He continued to paint for a few years, but life put a hold on Buono’s art career. As the father of two daughters and a full-time employee, he had little time to work on his art, and he “went through quite a bit of stuff ” that kept him from it. Linda Mussmann, the TSL co-executive director who approached him about doing his most recent show, recalls his vanishing. “I knew Scout probably a dozen years ago, and then he disappeared,” says Mussmann. Then one day, Mussmann was on Facebook when she saw that someone she knew had purchased a piece of his art, and she decided to reach out to him. “He’s one of the most talented artists in the area,” she says. Mussmann cites energy and spontaneity as two characteristics of Buono’s work. The pieces on display at TSL consist mostly of brightly colored, high-gloss, vintageinspired portraits on pieces of found wood. While they certainly maintain the elements noted by Mussmann, Buono says that the pieces in the show have been reworked and refined. Since stenciling allows him to reproduce an image, many of the originals have been set free in New York communities: hung on abandoned buildings where they’re available for viewing and taking. Buono likes the immediacy of street art. He still experiences a thrill when he hangs these “non-permission” pieces. “There’s a sense of adventure to just go and do it,” he says. And, he notes, it’s something that anybody can do. That democratic nature – the lack of constraints that allow him and others to show their work publicly and instantly – is much of the appeal for Buono. He does have one restriction, though: “I’ve certainly never vandalized a private property.” He wants his pieces to be a conversation with the community rather than an intrusion, so he chooses to hang them in abandoned places. While Buono leaves many of his pieces to be taken, his installations are an exchange of sorts. “Getting around and walking – that to me is as critical to the process as the studio work,” he says. The locations inform his choice of materials, both by necessity and happenstance. He works with materials like reclaimed wood because his pieces have to be durable to withstand the weather, but also because places that he visits provide many of the materials he uses. Often, he’ll find his canvases in the forms of fallen signs or

He still experiences a thrill when he hangs these “non-permission” pieces.

other discarded items, and he believes that using them in his work is “a logical extension” of his mission. “It just made sense, that notion of trying to give new life to something. It’s like a metaphor for what I was trying to do in the spaces.” If Buono’s work could be said to have a driving purpose, it would be to bring to the foreground people who have been, as he puts it, “forgotten or marginalized.” In the case of his most recent show, vintage imagery features heavily. Porters, chieftains, rural folk and old leatherhead footballers are some of the subjects repeated in Buono’s work. He collects old books and ephemera, scouring for images that he feels have been lost to history. With pieces like Hey, Porter, which depicts a Pullman railroad porter with an expression of subtle pride painted on a piece of barn door, Buono aims to provoke his audience to consider what the life might have been like for a person in this bygone profession. Among the work on display at TSL are many pieces that include elements of text. A tiny inscription of “eyes on the prize” accompanies an image of a boy in overalls, while the Lakota Sioux rallying cry “Hokahey!” is painted prominently in a sharp font atop a background of graffitilike lines. The words are a nod to graffiti culture, with Buono saying that he has always been intrigued by “the power of making art out of a word.” He believes that the interplay between images and words provides a layered meaning. He points to the name of the show as an example. It’s a phrase that one might imagine a captain saying to a team of underdogs about to take on an antagonistic rival, but Buono reveals that it’s a bit of a double entendre, as “giving ’em hell is what society can do to the marginalized.” “I have a conversation in my head with the people I’m trying to portray,” says the artist, adding that he wants his portraits to be respectful and dignified. In his future work, those conversations may no longer have to happen in his head. Buono expects to take his art in a new direction by capturing more of the photos himself, depicting contemporary subjects instead of historical ones. “I want there to be a social and community component to it,” he says. “That’s the biggest part of it.” – Fiona Steacy “Give ’Em Hell,” Scout/Pines, May 14-31, Time & Space Ltd, 434 Columbia Street, Hudson; (518) 822-8448, www.timeandspace.org.

The verse is yet to come Sparrow unveils post-apocalyptic survival guide this Saturday at Woodstock’s Kleinert

Free Millbrook Literary Festival on Saturday

regional free festival celebrating literature where one can learn about the art and business of writing, as shared by best-selling, laurel-crowned professionals in the field as well as up-and-coming stars of tomorrow? Appealing idea. And one that even the average working writer can afford to attend? Sounding better and better. This rarity happens each spring in Millbrook, returning this Saturday for its eighth incarnation. Hosted by the Millbrook Library, the Millbrook Literary Festival is a not-for-profit event funded by grants, sponsorships by local businesses and donations from individuals. “We pride ourselves in being supportive of all writers, whether nationally known or just starting out,” says Festival chair Sam Falk. “We strive to find a place for all interested authors to take part in the Festival, which is what Scott would have done. It can be hard for new authors to make their way.” “Scott” refers to the Festival’s founder, recently deceased Merritt Bookstore owner Scott Meyer. In his honor, the Festival Committee is instituting an annual award to be presented to a Hudson/Harlem Valley writer for a different genre each year. For 2016, the category is an unpublished short story for adults or young adults; the three finalists are Ray Fashona, Laurie Treacy and Anna Geraldine Paret. In addition to the announcement of the winner of the inaugural Scott Meyer Award, Saturday’s offerings will include a program especially for combat veterans and their families, in which NYU Classics professor Peter Meineck will discuss the contemporary relevance of ancient Greek and Roman stories about war. There will be a literary luncheon with Kathy Leonard Czepiel (A Violet Season) and a cross-generational presentation by high schoolers and retirement home residents who swapped favorite books. And if you’ve toyed with the idea of joining an ongoing local writers’ workshop to help pump up your motivation and hone your prose, representatives from four such groups will talk about how they work and how members benefit. Some of the panel discussions will be one on YA literature that includes Newbery Medalist Gail Carson Levine (Ella Enchanted), one on screenwriting that features American Sniper’s Jim DeFelice, one on picture books for kids and another on graphic novels for adults. Lauren Belfer, Mark Siegel, Barbara Slate, Karen Kaufman Orloff, Iza Trapani, Joseph Luzzi and Owen King will also be among the panelists. All told, more than 75 authors will participate in the event, signing books under the book tent and sharing their expertise. – Frances Marion Platt The Millbrook Literary Festival runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, May 21 at the Millbrook Library, located at 3 Friendly Lane in Millbrook.

There will be a literary luncheon with Kathy Leonard Czepiel (author of A Violet Season) at the Saturday, May 21 Millbrook Literary Festival. A Violet Season is the story of a mother and daughter amidst the backdrop of the Hudson Valley violet industry. From the late Victorian era up to World War I, violets were all the rage, and a quarter of the nation’s violets were grown in Dutchess County, whose soil is uniquely suited to the plant.

The love of poetry is a habit that many of us find easy enough to acquire in our student days, but much more difficult to sustain once faced with the demands of adulthood. That’s largely because most poems require the sort of sustained focus and mental investment that comes in short supply in our busy, distractible, multitasking lives. In order to enjoy them fully, one must put aside some quiet, uninterrupted reading time – not snatch a few moments here and there while waiting for an appointment. But there are rare poets whose work typically transcends that stereotype of being too “difficult” for daily consumption, without sliding into the lowbrow morass of greeting-card verse that we tend to associate with the term “accessible.” One of the most dependably pleasurable of those happy exceptions is the Catskills’ own Puckish mononymous bard. If I spot the byline Sparrow when I pick up a copy of Chronogram in a doctor’s waiting room and turn to the poetry page, that’s what I’ll read first – and I know that I’m not alone. Writing poems whose pithy rewards go down easy would seem like a brilliant modern marketing strategy, were it not for the obvious fact that this is simply how Sparrow’s fertile compositional circuits naturally operate. I mean, his very first full-length opus, published in 1978, was a hand-drawn Poetry Coloring Book. His stuff is murk-free, unpretentious and digestible without being shallow, funny without being glib or frivolous, politically sharp and satirical without being doctrinaire. The title of his latest collection, a “postapocalyptic manual” titled How to Survive the Coming Collapse of Civilization and Other Helpful Hints, should serve as clue enough to the uninitiated that this might be a good time to start delving back into poetry again. Instead of advising his readers to stockpile food and kill intruders, he emphasizes giving your TV set a Tarot reading and finding rhyming

names in the phone book. The reader is promised 268 suggestions in all – each one, we may reasonably assume, more creative and fun than covering your living environment with duct tape. Sparrow will read from his new book this Saturday, May 21 at 6:30 p.m. at the Kleinert/James Center for the Arts, located at 34 Tinker Street in Woodstock. Pianist Marilyn Crispell will provide the musical accompaniment at this “book party” presented by the Golden Notebook.

Jan Sawka in his High Falls studio

Exile on Old Route 213 Jan Sawka retrospective show opens this Saturday in High Falls

magine a retrospective art exhibition that included not only an artist’s varied works, but also the people whose lives he influenced. If that were possible, you’d need a space as big as an airplane hangar to house the work of Jan Sawka, and a country the size of Poland to contain the lives directly or indirectly affected by his monumental contributions. Choosing Poland as a site for such an exhibition is obvious. Sawka, who died in 2012, was a freedom-loving son of Poland, forced into exile by a government terrified of art’s political potential to subvert the status quo. His patriotic (which is to say, anti-Communist) posters on behalf of the Polish political underground and the Solidarity movement nearly got him arrested before he, his wife and daughter made a hair’s-breadth escape to America in 1977. An exhibit of such scope is of course impossible. But Sawka’s wife Hanka and their daughter Hanna have assembled what might be called a retrospective microcosmic version of his works, courtesy of the High Falls Emporium and the Wired Gallery. The space may be modest, but what gallery founder Sevan Melikyan hopes to accomplish with this exhibit is as ambitious as it is true: to put the tiny hamlet of High Falls on the art world’s map. How many communities ten times the size of High Falls have been a

haven for the likes of Marc Chagall and Jan Sawka? “They were both exiles,” Melikyan said, “Chagall from the Nazis and Sawka from the Communists.” All the world knows about Chagall; it’s a pity that all the world doesn’t know more about Sawka – though after a visit to the exhibit, which opens on May 21, you may find yourself struck by the familiarity of what you see. Sawka was a multimedia artist and an architect whose more than 100 political illustrations for The New York Times’s op/ed page gained him notoriety. Or maybe you attended the Grateful Dead’s 25th anniversary tour in 1989 and you remember the dazzling multidimensional set that Sawka designed for the band. Then there were the paintings that found space on some of New York’s most prestigious gallery walls. One commentator has described Sawka’s mastery of so many media as “a publicist’s nightmare.” No sooner was the public introduced to a dazzling painter than Sawka could be found designing a theater set for a new Arthur Miller play or winning an architecture award for his Peace Monument in Jerusalem. It was that way from the beginning. In his 20s, Sawka was every inch the countercultural artist and political subversive. He looked not unlike the Dead’s Jerry Garcia, a figure who would loom large in his future. He made a quick

reputation for himself as a set designer and graphic artist who was equally at home in the avant-garde theater, cabarets and jazz festivals. Sawka’s burgeoning reputation as an artist and as a rebel caught the attention of the Polish authorities. He was expelled from Poland in 1975. The family lived in France for a short while, until he learned that the regime planned not to renew the family’s one-way passports. It was then, with only three days remaining on their residency cards, that they successfully emigrated to the US. He designed cutting-edge stage sets for the Grateful Dead and later for Traffic’s reunion tour. He collaborated with the playwright Samuel Beckett. His handcolored fine-art prints can be found in the Library of Congress. His paintings grace public and private collections across the globe. In his later years, Sawka was drawn to Japanese art. Shoji Katagishi, curator of the Museum of Modern Art in Toyama, Japan, described Sawka as “a man who loves to work. He is a man with an unlimited supply of ideas and imagination. He is a man who dips, over and over again, into his infinite fountain of imagination.” And most of his art, Melikyan will gladly remind you, was created by Sawka over 27 years at the converted stable that served as his studio on Old Route 213 and is

now packed with many of the pieces that don’t reside in more prestigious, betterknown environments. Faced with a brief tour of his studio, teeming as it is with his canvases, models, projects-in-process and pieces complete, his wife and daughter were asked, rhetorically, if Sawka ever slept. Together, Hanka and Hanna Sawka replied, in slightly astonished tones, “No.” “His art was everything,” Hanka Sawka said. Reflecting on the years, Hanka Sawka recalled how fraught the family’s passage to America had been, as an illustration of how deeply a totalitarian government can affect a person’s expectations and understanding. “I cried for nine hours after we fled Poland,” she said. “I thought America was this terrible country.” She discovered otherwise. The family lived in New York City from 1977 to 1985, when a successful triple exhibit in the city brought in enough money to purchase the studio and the modest home where Hanna Sawka grew up. In the upstairs studio where Jan Sawka lived and died, his wife and daughter face a melancholy task that will require the energy that their husband and father brought to his art. Hanka Sawka stands in the center of the studio. The floor is invisible beneath the panoply of works that he left behind. She points to a cluttered desk where a gutted computer sits amid an array

Architects awarded Keith Haring Fellowship in Art & Activism

The land as canvas Olana marks 50th anniversary of preservation with guided landscape tours

ore than five decades before Jack Williamson coined the term “terraforming” during the Golden Age of science fiction, preeminent Hudson River School painter Frederic Church was doing it as a natural extension of his own art. “I am busy landscape architecturing!” he declared happily in an 1887 letter. The 250 acres surrounding Olana were his extended canvas every bit as much as the Moorish-style house itself, and restoring that immediate landscape to the way that Church left it at his death in 1900 has been one of the most ambitious long-term projects of the Olana Partnership. In honor of the 50th anniversary of Olana’s purchase for preservation purposes when it was threatened with destruction in 1966, the site is introducing regular guided public tours of Olana’s historic landscape – both on foot and via an open-air electric vehicle, so that even the mobility-impaired can get a firsthand look. “You get to put your body into the painting,” says consulting landscape architect Thomas Woltz. Guided group landscape tours will take the visitor to key locations along Olana’s carriage roads, commencing this Friday, May 20 and continuing for the 2016 season through Sunday, November 6. These new tours present Olana as an integrated work of art, architecture, conservation, agriculture and landscape design, composed by Church to include a working and ornamental farm, varied architectural elements, an “artificial” lake, native woodlands and more than ﬁve miles of carriage roads. Those who prefer exploring at their own pace, instead of with a group, can download a new cellphone app that provides a self-guided version of the tour. Several specialty events and hikes in the landscape will also be offered to highlight this inaugural season, including exploring the night sky during the Skyscape Series, combining patterns of steps and breathing during Breathwalk, a number of Artful Hikes, a Geology Walk and the annual Barry Hopkins Run. The Olana State Historic Site is located at 5720 Route 9G, a bit outside of the City of Hudson. For more information, visit www.olana.org. – Frances Marion Platt

In 1989, a year before died from AIDS, superstar mural artist Keith Haring set up a foundation to ensure the continuation of his legacy of activism and philanthropy as well as to preserve an archive of his artwork. For three years now, the Keith Haring Foundation has been partnering with Bard College to award grants for a scholar, activist or artist to teach and conduct research through Bard’s Center for Curatorial Studies and Human Rights Project. The 2016 recipients of the Keith Haring Fellowship in Art and Activism have just been announced: Sandi Hilal and Alessandro Petti, architects and critics based in the Palestinian Territories. They are founding members and co-directors of the Decolonizing Architecture Art Residency (DAAR), an architectural office and artist residency program in Beit Sahour that combines “conceptual spec ulations and architec tural interventions.” Hilal and Petti are also engaged in critical pedagogy, notably as founders of Campus in Camps: an experimental educational program hosted in the Dheisheh refugee camp in Bethlehem, where they constructed a “Concrete Tent” that they say “embodies the contradiction of the permanent temporariness of Palestinian refugees.” They have garnered international praise and prestigious awards for their work adapting urban planning concepts to public spaces serving refugee populations. The architects will take up their oneyear appointment in September 2016, and spend the spring semester of 2017 teaching at the College. They succeed New Delhi-based artist/curator Shuddhabrata Sengupta, who held the fellowship for 2015/16, and the first recipient, Dutch artist Jeanne van Heeswijk.

MUSIC For the love of Joe Beesmer benefit Concert & auction at Keegan Ales

Musician Joe Beesmer

lues/rock guitarist and singer Joe Beesmer was always the go-to guy to organize benefits for friends and neighbors in need. He took to the stage to raise thousands of dollars for everything from replacing stolen carpentry tools to helping families get their lives back on track following house fires or life-threatening illnesses. Now Beesmer, a big-hearted native of West Hurley who has always made his home here, needs our help. He suffers from lumbar and cervical spine stenosis and is also a diabetic, and the conditions have made it impossible for him to work. Beesmer cannot afford the medical care and prescriptions that he needs, or the cost of a surgical solution to relieve the

painful pressure on his spinal cord. “I’m hanging in there,” he says. “I’ve always been the guy who sees a big rock in the road and goes out there and moves it. But now, I can’t even think about lifting anything. I have no arm strength; I can play the guitar a little bit, but it’s hard – I’ve had to change the way I play. I can’t really stand for long periods of time, so I sit to do things, which adds it own kind of stress and pain. That’s why I always surround myself with people who play really well,” he adds, with characteristic humor. “My family and friends keep me going, and make me want to get better and live longer. Everyone coming together like this gives me a feeling of love and warmth, and it’s really humbling. I just want to thank everybody.” Starting at 1 p.m. on Sunday, May 29 at Keegan Ales, the musical marathon features a “Who’s Who” of the area’s most talented musicians, most of whom have shared the stage with Beesmer over the past three decades or so. The Salted Bros kick it off, followed by the D2 Band, Clouds, the Chase Brothers, Pete Santora, Gilles Malkine, Sharon White/Will Smith, Joe Veillette with Jimmy Eppard, Mr. Kick, the Pontiacs, the Inmates and Dylan Doyle. Organizers Sal Miccio and Ted Orr say, “This benefit has come together faster than any other we’ve put together. This community loves Joe!” A silent auction organized by Joe’s wife Tina and Victoria Langling will be staged, too. “Family and friends are coming to us with offers. We haven’t had to ask!” says Langling. “Joe’s volunteered as a musician or sound tech for so many organizations that everyone comes to the silent auction team with generous, thoughtful donations.” Featured items as of presstime include a weekend overnight stay at Chez Bevet AirBnB; Tony and Pete Levin signed CDs; Ramble tickets at the Levon Helm Studios; a professional organizing session from Sue Story’s ClutterBusters; drone footage from Front Row Dave; hairstyling and tattoo gift certificates; art and more signed music. And there’s one more way to show your love: A GoFundMe campaign has been established to offset Beesmer’s medical expenses at www.gofundme. com/2rwdscpq. – Debra Bresnan Benefit & Silent Auction for Joe Beesmer,

SHOW

ADAM LARSON TRIO TO PERFORM JAZZ TRIBUTE TO SONNY ROLLINS & LESTER YOUNG

any of the next-gen, top-tier jazz shows engineered by the Catskill Jazz Factory (CJF) go down in the relatively cushy confines of the Sosnoff Theater at Bard, where CJF has found a willing, able and endowed partner in their mission of canon-expanding jazz advancement. Jazz may be primarily an institutional and grantdriven art at present, but CJF still brings it to the streets as well. On Saturday, May 21 at 8 p.m. at the Deer Mountain Inn in Tannersville, tenor saxophonist Adam Larson leads his trio in a tribute to two of the seminal names in the history of the instrument and the form: Sonny Rollins and Lester Young. The New York Times’s Nate Chinen wrote, “The tenor saxophonist Adam Larson is the sort of jazz musician who gets flagged early on as a promising talent and then hustles to meet every requirement for success.” Admission to this show costs $20. An $80 package includes a three-course dinner, wine and the performance. Reservations are required. Dinner starts at 6 p.m. For reservations and more information, call the Deer Mountain Inn at (518) 589-6268. For more information on this performance and the Catskill Jazz Factory, visit www.catskilljazzfactory.org. The Deer Mountain Inn is located at 790 County Road in Tannersville. – John Burdick

PLAY

Gidion’s Knot in Catskill

ith no end in sight to the trend of violent, sometimes deadly incidents happening in our schools, teachers, parents, administrators and students all have to struggle to find the precarious balance among safety, responsibility and free expression. Johnna Adams’ two-person play Gidion’s Knot explores this conundrum in the form of a conference between a mother whose fifth-grade son has just committed suicide and the teacher who suspended him after he handed in a writing assignment that imagined horrific scenes of violence. Their tense confrontation delves deep into literary history as it raises the question of how creativity and a zero-tolerance policy can coexist, and into the ferocity of maternal love as it tries to establish whether young Gidion was a victim of bullying or a bully himself. Maria Silverman and Laura Beth Wells star in a production of Gidion’s Knot, directed by John Sowle, that opened last week at the Bridge Street Theatre in Catskill. It continues for one more weekend, with shows at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, May 19 through 21, and a 2 p.m. matinée on Sunday, May 22. Bridge Street has a busy season ahead, with the Blue Horse Repertory Company coming in next Saturday, May 28 at 8 p.m. to present Leading Ladies: A Night of Readings of Comedies for Women, directed by Flo Hayle. The program includes three Christopher Durang pieces: Mrs. Sorkin, Medea and an excerpt from Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All for You; three excerpts from Vital Signs and two from Talking with…, by Jane Martin; and Charles George’s When Shakespeare’s Ladies Meet. Tickets for Leading Ladies also cost $20 and $10. Moving into June, Bridge Street Theatre’s Songbook Series brings cabaret to Catskill on Saturday, June 4 with An Evening with Julie Gold. The series continues with Mark Nadler in Let’s Misbehave: A Cole Porter Soirée on Saturday, August 6 and Eric Comstock and Barbara Fasano in Helluva Town: A New York Soundtrack on Saturday, October 1. From June 9 to 19, the drama series continues with Dream Child: The Trial of Alice in Wonderland by Roxanne Fay. The Tavern, a comedy/melodrama by George M. Cohan that Dorothy Parker loved, runs from September 15 to 25. From October 13 to 23, there’ll be a production of Jim Helsinger’s one-performer stage adaptation of Mary Shelley’s Gothic classic, Frankenstein: The Modern Prometheus. Holiday Memories, adapted by Russell Vandenbroucke from Truman Capote’s memoir, rounds out the season from December 8 to 18. Tickets for all shows – except for “Pay What You Can Previews” – cost $20 general admission, $10 for youth under age 21. To purchase, visit http://bridgest.org or call (800) 838-3006.

MOVIE

Robert Downey, Jr. and Chris Evans in Captain America: Civil War

Polarizing times Sides get taken and new Avengers recruited in Captain America: Civil War

unny how â&#x20AC;&#x153;patriotismâ&#x20AC;? gets continually redefined depending on such variables as which party currently holds the presidency, whether or not the nation is officially at war or how well the economyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing. Surely Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not the only Baby Boomer to have observed that the same sorts of people who accused us of being â&#x20AC;&#x153;unpatrioticâ&#x20AC;? for opposing the Vietnam War are now calling Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birth certificate a forgery and identifying Big Government as the root of all evil. Now, imagine how much more exaggerated that tightrope dance of Americanness looks to Steve Rogers after going into a deep-freeze during World War II and being reawakened in the early 21st century. No wonder the guy is going through such an identity crisis in the series of movies from the Marvel Universe most recently manifested in Captain America: Civil War. Last time we saw Cap (Chris Evans) on the big screen, in Avengers: Age of Ultron, the rigid, righteous, wholesome warrior of the olâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Red, White and Blue was starting to let down his crewcut a little, chuckling at jokes made at his expense and even allowing himself to be provoked into some mild profanity. But in the third installment of the Captain America film franchise, he has taken a turn toward the Tea Party movement, going rogue rather than sign an agreement that would make the Avengers accountable to an agency of the United Nations and defuse international tensions. Tony Stark/Iron Man (Robert Downey, Jr.) and some of his other SHIELD colleagues, guilt-ridden over the high civilian body count in the wake of their last few campaigns to save the Earth

from malevolent aliens and other megabaddies, think that the time has indeed come for some accountability; viewers reminded of the level of CGI destruction in the last several Avenger movies via a collage of clips might tend to agree. But Cap no longer trusts any governmental or supergovernmental entity with an â&#x20AC;&#x153;agenda.â&#x20AC;? Someone chucks a whopping big bomb at the meeting to sign the Sokovia Accords, and the man who ran looks a lot likeâ&#x20AC;ŚSteveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boyhood pal, fellow cryogenics lab alum and easily programmable assassin Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan), a/k/a the Winter Soldier. This complicates matters immensely, and a whole lot of Avengers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; plus some new recruits â&#x20AC;&#x201C; need to decide which side theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on. The upshot is a sort of all-star superhero version of the 1968 Japanese kaiju flick Destroy All Monsters, with an excellent battle royal in an airport towards the end. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bit of a slog getting there â&#x20AC;&#x201C; especially the first third of the movie, which has smaller fights featuring lots of spiffy stunts but may leave you muddled as to whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s killing whom and why, if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t eat, drink, sleep and breathe Marvel Comics characters. If you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen the previous Captain America film directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, Winter Soldier, I highly recommend watching it before you tackle Civil War. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d seen it, but too long ago to have more than a fuzzy recollection of the convoluted Cap/Bucky dynamic. The heroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dogged loyalty to his highly compromised friend is key to the central conflict of the new movie. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mildly interesting to tease out the motivations of the various players; the two main antagonists, Captain America and Iron Man, each have their reasons, neither oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entirely pure. (And both are

being played in a villainous megascam, of course.) A welcome third-party point of view is supplied by the latest Marvel superhero to be introduced to the screen franchise, Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman), the son of the assassinated king of a fictional African country. Speaking of changes of perspective, Ant-Man (Paul Rudd) joins the fray and provides an excuse for some spectacular size-morphing visuals. Things really start to pick up when Stark recruits teenaged Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Tom Holland) to his side. Spideyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exuberance, overconfidence and inexperience combine to supply some of the funniest bits during the big fight scene. Quieter moments allow for some interesting acting turns from supporting players like Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow, who can see both sides of the argument, and the wonderful Paul Bettany as Vision, who used to be the voice of Iron Manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s indispensable AI aide JARVIS but got transformed into a virtual

superhero, sort of by accident, in Age of Ultron. Though buried in robot makeup and required to maintain an affectless demeanor, Bettany is touching as he muddles through burgeoning human feelings of protectiveness toward Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen), the Avengersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; biggest loose cannon whom he is assigned to keep out of trouble. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sort of like watching Mr. Spock fall quizzically in love. On the minus side, Bruce Banner/ the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) is either off on a secret assignment or sulking in some obscure corner of the world doing doctory things, so we are deprived of the Banner/Stark banter thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s usually so entertaining. On the plus side for those with low tolerance for fakey-sounding Scandinavian accents, Thor (Chris Hemsworth) seems to be off vacationing in Asgard for this round as well. Is Civil War the best Avengers-related Marvel movie yet, as some critics are claiming? I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d go that far. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun, occasionally thoughtprovoking and manages to nudge the franchise forward with less collateral damage than usual. And not all the contentiousness is resolved at the end, so I for one will be interested enough to plunk down a few bucks to see where this saga goes next. P.S. As with all Marvel movies, do sit all the way through the closing credits, so that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss all the Easter eggs. Oh, and keep half an eye out for that whitehaired FedEx delivery guy. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Frances Marion Platt

Mars hasn’t been this bright or close to us for more than a decade. Shining at a dazzling magnitude -2, it already dominates the southeastern sky starting

at 10 p.m. each night. Go ahead and look for it tonight! In a wonderful fluke, Mars reaches its lineup with the Sun and Earth on the very night of the full Moon, which joins the celestial alignment. By one designation this is also a “Blue Moon,” which is sometimes defined as the third of four full Moons in a season. Even better, Mars hovers above the famous Scorpius star Antares, whose very name means “the rival of Mars.” That’s because they both share the exact same orange color – although Mars is six times brighter these nights. There’s more: Just to the left of Mars and

Antares floats the bright planet Saturn, which itself will come closest to Earth a mere two weeks from now. It’s almost too much to take in at once. But we can start prepping the first clear night. Simply look lowish in the southeast between 10 p.m. and midnight. T he brightest star is Mars, and you can’t miss its orange hue. The bright star to its left is Saturn. Simple. The planets will remain wellseen for months. But the best spectacle is the one-night-only affair this Saturday night. That’s when all those celestial goodies form a kind of baseball diamond shape fairly low down. At the bottom, home plate, is Antares. First base is Mars. Second base is the full Moon. Third base is Saturn. By the next night, Sunday, the Moon has moved to the left and the diamond is gone. If you own a small telescope, Mars is a bit of a challenge because, even during this favorable close approach, it’s still only half the size of Jupiter or Saturn. Still, you might glimpse a white polar cap and some dusky surface features. Swing the scope to Saturn and you’ll be glad you did. It’s simply amazing through any instrument, with the rings nicely visible with any magnification greater than 30x. Mars at its brightest meets the full Moon and Saturn and Antares – all at the same time? Why would anyone not take a

At the bottom, home plate, is Antares. First base is Mars. Second base is the full Moon. Third base is Saturn.

Emerson Resort & Spa unveils renovation

hen Ralph Waldo Emerson described the relationship between the human soul and the surrounding world by declaring, “Philosophically considered, the universe is composed of Nature and the Soul,” he might not have imagined his words becoming the decorative theme of a 21st-century luxury resort and spa in the Catskill Mountains. But this is exactly what has happened. The Emerson – a pastoral cluster of spacious rooms, event spaces, personal care services, retail shops and eateries – “We want everybody stands as a visual testament to the poet/ to come in and shop, or stop in philosopher’s utterances. for coffee, or just go into the Nature takes the stage even more greatroom and sit down to read a dramatically with the recent $6 million book. Have a cocktail. renovations of the resort’s guestrooms Emily always says she wants and public areas. The 20-acre property, people to feel like it’s their situated along the corridor of Route 28 clubhouse.” and bordered by the Esopus Creek, blends perfectly into the foothills that surround the Emerson, and the redo – headed by Rosalyn Cama of CAMA, Inc. – has opened interior spaces so that visitors can view the stunning landscape from every angle. Marketing and sales director Tamara Murray talks about the original inn and spa built on the grounds of what was the 1840s Riseley dairy farm. A fire in 2005 prompted the construction of new restaurant and retail spaces that connect the original farmhouse with Riseley’s barn (built in 1860 and now used for the resort’s country store) and another of the farm’s original buildings, a 64-foot-tall grain silo. “The vision was at one time this Indian/Moroccan theme,” says Murray, pointing to a few remaining decorative details, such as the 17th-century Rajasthani palace gates framing the entrance to the spa. “The rooms were very different, with canopied beds et cetera. Emily Fisher became the sole owner in about 2009, and her vision for the inn was that it should reflect its namesake, Ralph Waldo Emerson. Renovation brought the outside in, reflecting the area and the connection to Emerson.” The new color scheme is lighter. Every guestroom displays pastoral paintings and excerpts from “Woodnotes,” the title of one of Emerson’s poems. “As part of this whole process, several other things happened. Not only did we redo the rooms, but we renovated the old restaurant, the Phoenix, and renamed it Woodnotes Grille. The artwork in the lobby and hallway is especially commissioned for the Emerson. Our interior designer is working on a book to describe the art and artists for guests to enjoy on a self-guided tour. “The inn used to be for adults only, which changed three years ago. We are now totally family- and dog-friendly. We even have a dedicated dog park, and the restaurant will prepare special food for guests’ dogs.” Woodnotes Grille seats 50 diners indoors and is subtly lit with new Moooi lights. It opens onto a deck and picnic grounds next to the Esopus. The restaurant fare is billed as Catskill Creative Cooking, with locally sourced foods prepared with a twist and craft cocktails. The full bar offers cozy dining spots, too. On the opposite side of the restaurant, there’s a greatroom with more seating under a vaulted ceiling. Murray says that the space can be used for “elopement weddings”: intimate affairs for couples who want to include guests in a casual ceremony in front of the floor-to-ceiling fireplace. Murray points up to a massive chandelier that was rescued from the Breakers Hotel in Miami and has been hanging here since the inn opened. The full-service 6,193-square-feet Emerson Spa has undergone a total makeover, and will open in mid-June to guests with a new menu of services offering a variety of treatments. Guests can work out in the well-equipped fitness center or take advantage of the plush hair and nail salons. “The new nail salon is being expanded to accommodate groups, such as bridal parties or girlfriend getaways,” says Murray. She adds that the fitness center now offers memberships to the general public. “A lot of people tend to think that the Emerson is only open to the guests. That couldn’t be farther from the truth. We want everybody to come in and shop, or

infrastructure. The integration of realtime data will provide a level of immediacy for students to interact with the exhibit in a meaningful way and educate a techsavvy generation about the importance of river science. The Beacon Institute also has an impressive list of public events on the roster for the rest of this year, such as the Institute’s “newfangled and entertaining” Science Café series. Held in the evenings in popular local watering holes and meant to pique the curiosity of “regulars,” these science-based events are designed to identify and demystify the many roles of water in and around our daily lives. Clarkson professors, scientists and other knowledgeable guests will demonstrate, innovate and interact with Cafégoers to create an informal forum for great fun and new ideas. It launches on Thursday evening, May 19 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Hop Bar/Restaurant, with a program intriguingly titled “Beacon, NY: Where Engineers Order Their Water Straight Up.” Witness how engineers are exploring ways to defy gravity on Mt. Beacon with concepts and principles to make every drop count.

Upcoming Science Cafés will either mystify or enlighten barflies with such topics as “Science and the Backbone of the Body Politic” at the Hop on Thursday, June 16, in which Riverkeeper’s Dan Shapley will hold forth on how sampling efforts at 300 Hudson River Estuary monitoring locations are shaping policy and laws. On Thursday, July 21, also at the Hop, Clarkson University Chemistry professor Mario Wriedt will present “The Role of Holes in Climate Change:

MELISSA TYLER

stop in for coffee, or just go into the greatroom and sit down to read a book. Have a cocktail. Emily always says she wants people to feel like it’s their clubhouse.” Visitors and guests can meander through a toystore, women’s and men’s clothing shops, kitchen, home and garden shops and a coffee bar with indoor and outdoor seating. The property extends out along the Esopus, where people can hike or cross-country ski or play soccer. At the other end, a lodge, a smaller events room and an outdoor pavilion offer more accommodations for guests. Probably the most unusual attraction at the Emerson is the World’s Largest Kaleidoscope, certified by the Guinness Book of World Records as such. The old Riseley silo houses the 56-foot-long optical instrument, designed by award-winning kaleidoscope artist Charles Karadimos, with its imagery-based video theater. With surround sound and a musical score by composer and drummer Gary Burke, the kaleidoscope’s main presentations play off a three-dimensional three-mirror system that creates “a precise pyramid tapering from 15 feet at the bottom to five feet at the top, which reflect a constantly evolving virtual sphere with a 50-foot radius.” When you step into the inside of the silo, you are stepping into the kaleidoscope. Lest you think that this is mere child’s play, you might wander around the kaleidoscope shop and learn about the science and artistry of the instrument. Kaleidoscopes of all shapes, sizes, materials and designs are available to try out (with adult supervision) and purchase. Murray ends the tour by mentioning a 20th-anniversary celebration scheduled to take place on July 9. “For 20 years we’ve been doing these kaleidoscope shows, and a whole new program is being written and designed. We’ll debut the new show with a drum circle, face-painting and other activities. And we’ll be offering kaleidoscope-themed cocktails and tidbits to eat.” Mark your calendars! In honor of the upcoming summer season, the Emerson is now introducing the “Sizzling Summer Special” available May 31 to September 1, 2016.

Richard Geldard The Soul’s Journey: A History of Human Being

Minnewaska’s Castle Point carriage road reopens The Castle Point carriage road, a centerpiece of the historic Minnewaska carriage road network, was recently reopened to the public after months of closure for repairs. Following a $700,000 fundraising campaign led by the Open Space Institute (OSI), the newly restored Castle Point Carriage Road offers visitors a 4.6-mile scenic trail to hike, bike, cross-country ski or horseback ride from Lake Minnewaska to Lake Awosting. First constructed in the Victorian Era, Minnewaska’s carriage road network is threatened by age and disrepair, despite its resounding popularity. Over the past several years, OSI has fundraised and completed restoration of the 2.9-mile Hamilton Point Carriage Road and portions of the Lake Awosting Carriage Road, and is also in the planning and engineering phase of restoring the 2.9mile High Point Carriage Road and a 4.5mile portion of the Old Smiley Carriage Road. Last October, New York State governor Andrew Cuomo and OSI also announced a $7.3-million improvement plan for Minnewaska State Park that will include a 6,000-square-foot visitor center. OSI has pledged to raise $3 million for the project.

Bard College’s Micro Hydro for Macro Impact project will show how novel microhydropower generators can dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions, be financed in different ways and integrate into student curricula and workforce training. The project is expected to result in the avoidance of 335 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions annually, and will also include the launch of an online public information resource, NY Micro Hydro, to help others install microhydropower throughout the state.

Governor Andrew M. Cuomo announced this Monday that New York State will award $1 million each to Bard College, the University at Buffalo and Broome Community College as part of the Energy to Lead Competition. The competition challenged student-led coalitions from New York colleges and universities to develop plans for local clean energy projects on campus and in their communities. “On behalf of the College, I would like to thank the governor’s office and NYSERDA [the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority] for this important award,” said Bard College president Leon Botstein. “Innovation is at the core of Bard’s mission, and this award helps us to continue to innovate in environmental issues and energy conservation, and to signal the importance of these issues to the entire higher education community.”

The cougar discussed in William Stolzenburg’s Heart of a Lion: A Lone Cat’s Walk across America was reportedly spotted in the Shawangunks and the Adirondacks.

Remember when, a few years back, a cougar fatally struck by a car in suburban Connecticut was revealed by DNA testing to have walked all that way from Black Hills of South Dakota? It was the sort of story that’s sad and heartening at the same time: We regret the animal’s demise caused by human-made technology and development; we admire its strength, tenacity and determination; and we find a spark of hope that the apex predators native to our continent, driven into isolated corners by bounty hunting long ago, may be making a comeback to their former haunts. The peripatetic panther in question was reportedly spotted in natural preserves in New York State – including the Shawangunks and the Adirondacks – en route to meet its mechanical destiny. That’s part of the story told in William Stolzenburg’s Heart of a Lion: A Lone Cat’s Walk across America, a new book just released by Bloomsbury. The author is on a cross-country trek of his own, bringing along a multimedia presentation about the 2,000-mile odyssey of the nameless young male cougar. The Inquiring Mind Bookstore located at 65 Partition Street in Saugerties will play host to Stolzenburg on Thursday, May 19 at 7 p.m. Admission to the program is free.

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

Green grew the lilacs Sometimes an old flowering shrub requires drastic surgery

he sweet scent practically bowled me over. My friend, walking with me along the nearby rail trail, characterized the aroma as citrusy rather than sweet. Either way, the aroma was delicious and welcome. Too bad the source of the scent, autumn olive (Elaeagnus umbellata), is a plant so reviled. “Too bad” because the plant also has other qualities: The olive-green leaves lend a Mediterranean feel to any setting. Microorganisms associated with the shrub’s roots garner nitrogen from the air to enrich the soil. And come early fall, the plants are loaded with delicious and nutritious small red (sometimes yellow) berries. Alas, this non-native plant grows too easily, frequenting fields and waysides. It’s deemed invasive, which it is…but? Autumn olive is often confused with Russian olive, E. angustifolium, a close relative that is more treelike, less invasive and with sweet olive-green fruits. Another equally attractive, fragrant, tasty and soil-building plant is gumi, E. multiflora, not well-known but closely related to the other “olives.” Soon, by the time you read this, the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail and elsewhere will be suffused by another pleasant aroma: that of honeysuckle. These flowers are also followed by red berries, but they’re not edible. (Other honeysuckle species do yield edible berries, an up-and-coming fruit called haskaps.) How could anyone not like a plant with a name like “honeysuckle”? A lot of people don’t like honeysuckle because it too, despite its qualities, is invasive. Before anyone attacks me for heaping praise on invasive plants, let’s sidle off the rail trail and back to the home front, where yet another delicious scent fills the air. This one wafts from a plant that – unlike autumn olive, Russian olive and gumi – is not invasive and is truly in the olive family: lilac (Syringa vulgaris). Actually, for years now, my lilac bush has not been perfuming the air as much as it should. The plant is old – my guess is more than 50 years old. Not that age alone is responsible for its poor showing. Lilac, like other shrubs, have long-lived root systems. No stem ever develops into a permanent, long-lived trunk, and – important for all flowering and fruiting shrubs – after a certain age, stems can’t keep up the flower production of its youth. The way to prune any flowering or fruiting shrub is by a renewal method. You cut down some of the oldest stems that are no longer performing well. And then you thin out (that is, reduce the number of ) some of the youngest stems so that each can develop to its fullest potential without being crowded. How long an old stem is worth keeping and how many new stems spring up each

The next evening, Friday, May 20 at 7 p.m., Inquiring Mind (singular)’s sister bookstore at 6 Church Street in New Paltz, Inquiring Minds (plural), will offer another free and fascinating reading/ signing event. Co-authors Yvonne Wakim Dennis, Arlene Hirschfelder and Shannon Rothenberger Flynn will present Native American Almanac: More than 50,000 Years of the Cultures and Histories of Indigenous Peoples, which traces the rich heritage of North America’s indigenous inhabitants. It is a fascinating mix of biography, pre-contact and post-contact history, current events, Tribal Nations’ histories, enlightening insights on environmental and land issues, arts, treaties, languages, education, movements and more.

LEE REICH | ALMANAC WEEKLY

Lee's lilac in its younger days (left) contrasted with the same lilac when it was older.

year from ground level depends on the kind of shrub and the growing conditions. A highbush blueberry stem, for example, retains its youthful fecundity for about six years, a raspberry for two years. I’ve pruned my lilac over the years, but – I have to admit – never cut the old stems close enough to the ground nor thinned out the many young stems sufficiently. (My excuse is that the dense crowding of five-inch-diameter stems made cutting difficult, the difficulty made more so by the haven that they provided for poison ivy vines.) A non-blooming lilac shrub isn’t worth keeping, so drastic renovation was in order. This treatment can be applied to any old, decrepit shrub. It’s easy. All that’s needed is to cut everything to the ground – which I did. My lilac’s stumps gave evidence to the shrub’s poor showings over the years with their many thick yet half-rotten old stubs. Shrubby stems, as I wrote, just aren’t meant to live that long, and over time can’t support good flowering. If all goes well, new sprouts should soon poke up from ground level: vigorous new sprouts, because they’ll be fueled by a large, old root system. It’ll be a few years before any of those sprouts get old enough to start flowering. But I’ll make sure to thin them out so that each has room to develop. I promise. – Lee Reich
