Pride Week events culminate in march & festival in New Paltz

Village of New Paltz mayor Jason West – who famously kick-started the local Gay Pride movement during his first term by performing same-sex marriages of debatable legality – is about to leave office again, but gay rights activists have plenty of other things to celebrate at the moment. Expect a lot of love for all things Irish to be on display at the Pride March and Festival in New Paltz on Sunday, June 7, in honor of last week’s plebiscite that came down solidly on the side of letting gay and lesbian couples marry in that country. Though the event was originally inspired by New Paltz’s brief stint as the same-sex-marriage capital of New York State – and the subsequent angry antics of protestors who flocked to town – the Pride March has taken on a countywide life of its own and expanded to a week’s worth

of celebrations, performances, workshops, teach-ins and panel discussions. The Hudson Valley LGBTQ Community Center in Uptown Kingston has become the epicenter of the activities earlier in the week, but it still all culminates in New Paltz on the second weekend. For $25, you can obtain a Pride Pass that’ll get you into all the events that have an entry fee. On Thursday at 7 p.m., the Center will screen the film Pride, concerning a group of lesbian and gay activists who help families affected by the British miners’ strike. On Friday at 7 p.m., it’s time for the traditional Teen Dance at the Center, inviting gay, lesbian, transgendered and allied youth ages 13 to 18. Events on Saturday, June 6, begin in Kingston with a Board of Directors’ meeting and reception at the Center from 6 to 7:30 p.m., honoring Retts Scauzillo as Grand Marshal for the Pride March and Gene Knapp as Volunteer of the Year. Then the action shifts to Novella’s in New Paltz, where the Pride Party gets underway at 8:30 p.m. with Deejay PrePhab spinning the platters. Beginning at 9 p.m. there will be live cabaret performances featuring Lady Alchemy, the Queen City Dancers, Kingston’s Very Own Lady Esther Gin, Bear Donna, the Drag Brigade and Retts Scauzillo channeling Frank Sinatra. Admission costs $20, or $10 with student ID. Pride Week winds up as always with the Pride March and Festival on Sunday, June 7. Marchers, many of them imaginatively costumed, will gather at 12 noon at the New Paltz Middle School and step it

off down Main Street at 1 p.m. sharp, headed for Hasbrouck Park. There, the Festival will follow until 4 p.m. with food, vendors, family activities, singers So Brown and Mike Hamel and deejaying by John Martin. Those who still aren’t done partying by that point can convene at Bacchus afterwards for a special Pride Week Happy Hour.

Kingston Community Block Party this Sunday Native American drummers, Irish step dancers and klezmer musicians are not usually invited to the same party. But that won’t be the case this Sunday, June 7 at the third annual Kingston Community Block Party at T. R. Gallo West Strand Park from 1 to 5 p.m. Diversity will be the order of the day, with live ethnic music, dance and comedy in the spotlight along with multicultural handicrafts, children’s activities and plenty of beverages and food available – even some kosher options. Admission is free. The diversity celebrated at the block party pays tribute to the Rondout area’s historically ethnic melting pot, in which distinct ethnic neighborhoods once

lined both sides of lower Broadway and East and West Strand. Sponsored by the Reher Center for Immigrant Culture and History, the street festival will be a living representation of our cross-cultural connections. Festival attendees will be encouraged to take a “Diversity Pledge” honoring the dignity of all people, regardless of race, ethnicity, culture, heritage and other human and societal differences. Those who take the pledge will receive a free silicone wristband that says, “Celebrate Diversity.” Participating groups will represent the cultures of African Americans, American Indians, Eastern Europeans, Jewish Americans, Hispanics and Latinos and Americans of Greek, Indian, Irish, Italian, Japanese, Spanish and Ukrainian origin or ancestry. Children’s activities will include crafting, games, singing, storytelling and the requisite face-painting. Participating groups and individuals providing the entertainment include Hispanic guitarist Eduardo Parra, bagpiper Richmond Johnston, the Hellenic Youth Dance Troupe, the Choreo Dance Studio Irish step dancers, the Hudson River Maritime Museum, the Jewish Federation of Ulster County, La Voz magazine, the Latino Committee of Kingston, the Mid-Hudson Japanese Community Association, the Mid-Hudson Mexican Folkloric Group, the New Progressive Baptist Church, classical Indian dancer Sahana Natesan, Native American drummers Spirit of Thunderheart,

In operating as a community center that will represent all immigrant groups who have settled in the region, the Reher Center intends to encourage an increased appreciation of cultural diversity and community. It will make its permanent home in the former Reher Bakery building in Kingston’s Rondout District once renovations are complete. The Reher building, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is rare in the number of original details that it preserves. When all is finished, the space will support an exhibition hall, library and archive in addition to a fully restored early-20thcentury corner bakery with an authentic retail area, original baking ovens behind the shop and apartments upstairs.

Women making historical motorcycle trip to visit area

Woodstock Harley-Davidson will be welcoming Lisa Brouwer and Kris Haase of the Inspired Ride Tour on June 5 from 6 to 8 p.m. These two women riders are retracing the historical trip made in 1915 by Effie Hotchkiss (pictured above). At a time when women motorcycle riders were unheard of, the 21-year-old Hotchkiss rode from New York City to San Francisco on a Harley-Davidson motorcycle. Brouwer, a motivational speaker, decided that she should complete the same journey herself. “It’s easy to talk about doing something big, but it’s not always so easy to follow through,” Brouwer said. Brouwer began to plan for the trip, but remembered that Hotchkiss didn’t do it alone. So Brouwer looked to a friend whom she met at a breast cancer ride in 2011. Kris Haase had one condition, though; she would ride her own motorcycle, whereas Effie had her mother Avis ride alongside her in a sidecar. Brouwer and Haase will stick close to the same route as trail blazed by Hotchkiss and her mother 100 years ago.

VANDERBILT & MILLS MANSIONS HOST FREE WEDNESDAY EVENING CONCERTS You know what are truly majestic, even romantic this time of year? Wednesday evenings in Dutchess County, where the grand mansions of the Vanderbilt and Mills families host evening concerts, for free, to which one can bring picnics and gaze at the river, distant Catskills and setting sun. The series began on June 3, with Hyde Park students playing at the Vanderbilt Mansion, and continues June 10 with the Strawberry Fiddlers at the Mills Mansion in Staatsburg. The schedule then alternates each Wednesday between the two mansions. The lineup of featured music includes Big Band, jazz, country and rock and the West Point Military Academy Band. The crowds drawn by each are as eclectic and diverse as the music. In case of rain, call 229-8086 after 4 p.m. to check for an alternate location. – Paul Smart Outdoor concerts, Wednesdays, 7 p.m., free, Vanderbilt National Historic Site, Route 9, Hyde Park, Mills Mansion, Staatsburg; (845) 229-8086, http://www.hydeparkny.us/Recreation/MusicInTheParksSchedule.pdf.

A songwriter and composer with a decidedly spiritual orientation, Kristin Hoffmann’s Amazing Space was a natural progression: an ethereal meditation aid based on the chakras and a soundtrack to Ralph Stevens’ film of the same name, coupling Hoffmann’s piano-and-electronics musical reveries with Stevens’ images of space. While Hoffmann’s other albums are more song-oriented, Amazing Space is very much of a piece with their mood and layered, textural approach. Kristin Hoffmann headlines the Unison Art Center’s fundraising event on Saturday, June 6 at 8 p.m. Premik Russell and Seth Davis also perform. All money raised from the concert will go to supporting Unison. Unison is located at 68 Mountain Rest Road in New Paltz. For more information, call (845) 255-1559 or visit http:// unisonarts.org.

Twin peaks Robert Plant & the Black Keys headline Mountain Jam at Hunter this weekend

t used to be that Mountain Jam was the local festival for folks who like their guitars hit one way and the sadly short-lived All Tomorrow’s Parties at Kutsher’s was for folks who like their guitars hit the other way. And no one could be accused of false advertising. “Jam” is right there in the name of the Hunter Mountain festival, and the London-based ATP just copped the title of a Velvet Underground song for theirs. And seldom the twain shall meet. The Mountain Jam crowd would question the skill and the soul of the ATP axeslingers to the extent that they could be bothered to learn their names and admit their reputations into the guitar-god discussion. J. Mascis (and maybe even Doug Martsch) they would understand, because everyone loves Neil Young; but most of those who walk as deities in the indie guitar world – ATP veterans Kevin Shields (My Bloody Valentine) or Stephen Malkmus (Pavement), for example – often sound, to the ears of the Derek Trucks aficionados, like “dudes who don’t really know how to play very well.” ATPers, for their part, would graciously concede the limited, genre-bound technical prowess of Mountain Jam’s legions of Dead-, Allmanand blues-derived long-form soloists, but would casually dismiss their relevance, imagination and the freshness of their aesthetic intent. So does the booking of the Black Keys as co-headliners of the 2015 Mountain Jam represent the final blurring of that once-testy cultural border? No, not really; though it might be appealing to look at it that way. First, remember that the Grateful Dead were a primitive psych/ blues freakout band in 1966 (and their very early work – but only their very early work – is actually well-regarded in the primitivist rock community). The Black Keys are not all that far out of tune with the Mountain Jam core vibe, though many Mountain Jammers might find them conspicuously lacking not only a bass player, but also anything that they would recognize as a lead guitarist. Second, the indie-rock scene doesn’t necessarily claim the Black Keys as one of their own, either. While Messrs. Auerbach and Carney’s early records (through 2008’s Attack and Release) certainly rate as

Robert Plant doesn’t seem much hamstrung by his own past. That’s pretty rare among A-list rock stars, who have a harder time than you might imagine keeping the corporate boardroom out of their career decisions.

notable works of blues yowl and fuzzcraft in the service of zippy songwriting, the Black Keys can also be viewed as the arena-scruff duo that cashed in on what the White Stripes, the Vines, the Strokes and the other neo-garage acts of the early aughts pioneered – or repioneered, as the case may be. The Black Keys aren’t jam, but they’re not really indie agitators either. What they are is very popular. So the Black Keys are a lively band, a nice score and a billfreshener for Mountain Jam, to be sure, but a bit of a red herring if you are looking at it as a serious redrawing of the scene topography. Ironically, it is the other headliner, Rock Rushmore’s own Robert Plant, whose presence here speaks to what is and what has always been daring and audacious about Mountain Jam. Daring, you say? Robert Plant, who is welcome on all stages? Yes. Plant performs here with his band the Sensational Shape Shifters in support of a really nice and curious 2014 album, Lullaby and…the Ceaseless Roar. If you want to hear Zeppelin at Mountain Jam, you’ll need to attend Noelle Doughty’s Zepperella set. Plant is touting new stuff, and that’s what he’ll be playing on the slopes of Hunter. Mountain Jam’s real legacy – a tolerant and willing dedication to music in the moment – empowers the performers to move beyond the dutiful delivery of the hits. They don’t have to jam. Solos not required. “Do what thou wilt,” says Mountain Jam, but you better mean it. Plant’s post-Zep career has been undeniably vibrant. Even those like my friend Artie Fisk, to whom Zeppelin are little more than some nouveau British aristocrats who owe the estate of Muddy Waters a bit of money and on whom most of the blame for c*ck-rock can be pinned, have been forced to concede that Robert Plant is a restless and vital cat and has

been for a long while. From his legit New Wave hits in the early ’80s through his credible work as a rockabilly revivalist, his wildly successful collaboration with Alison Krauss and his infrequent but anythingbut-complacent (and often North Africanflavored) reunions with Page, Plant doesn’t seem much hamstrung by his own past. That’s pretty rare among A-list rock stars, who have a harder time than you might imagine keeping the corporate boardroom out of their career decisions. Beneath the twin peaks of this year’s bill is a pretty doctrinal Mountain Jam lineup, but a good and very deep one, featuring perennial favorites like Spearhead and Grace Potter and the “I can’t believe this is their first Mountain Jam appearance” jam-scene stalwarts moe. Alabama Shakes was a quiet score and a real attraction on this bill: a band that pretty much splits the difference between the Black Keys and the Dap Tones. Lake Street Dive are fresh blood on the roots scene. Big Gigantic are jam’s preferred electrobeat band and have been for quite a while. Railroad Earth’s assemblage of bluegrass and folk/rock heavies is pretty much universally beloved across the scene. Spirit Family Reunion are the kind of Brooklyn that Hunter understands.

HISTORY

Designing woman

across the river from the village of Delhi, was “different” from many families in the early-to-mid-19th century. Wheeler herself described the Thurber household as being “a hundred years behind the times,” living, as she believed they did, in a manner more befitting her New England ancestors of the 18th century. Reading material, for example, was selected and proscribed by her father, as dictated by his work and his faith. As a result, the Bible was, as Wheeler labeled it, their “literary bread.” Theirs was a busy and well-visited home, as missionaries were a constant and consistent presence. It was also a home very much in sympathy with the Abolitionist movement – so much so that the use of cotton was forbidden in any of the family’s clothing. To that end, other visitors to their home were of the more secretive sort, as the Wheeler barn was occasionally used as a stop by an escaped slave making his way north. As Wheeler remembered, she would see someone “first in the morning, having presumably arrived in the night. After breakfast and morning prayers he was sequestered in the haymow during the day, and disappeared during the night.” Abolitionism, not being the most popular of causes within the community, would serve as a point of separation for a young Candace, recalling later, “that when the children of the school or neighborhood felt I was particularly in want of being ‘taken down,’ a favorite

Groundbreaking artist/activist Candace Wheeler, who got her start in the Catskills, would go on to champion economic self-sufficiency for women

he has been proclaimed the “mother of interior design” and footnoted by history as the “high priestess of the Aesthetic movement.” Born in the shadow of the Catskills in 1827, Candace Wheeler would go on to achieve a rare position for a woman in 19th-century America: success in her own right. It was a success that had its origins in a small rural farmhouse in Delhi, where the foundational skills and moral character that would underscore her professional life were shaped. And yet, it was a success that would not begin to unveil itself until more than half her life had passed, a family had been raised and the door had been opened to the world of art through a series of personal relationships that her possibilities as a designer and her desire to improve the lives of women through economic opportunity. Firm in the belief that economic independence for women was equal to if not more important than political independence, Wheeler, at the age of 50, would turn her attention to offering the women of her day a means by which the creative and domestic arts – and the skills that crafted them – could be directed towards profitable ends. So it was, in 1877, that the Society of Decorative Artists took form. A year later, the New York Exchange for Women’s Work would follow. Reaching back to the lessons of her childhood, Wheeler would labor diligently for the economic liberation of women by turning both the artistic and domestic skills that they possessed into viable commodities. Through the Society of Decorative Arts, she sought to create “profitable industries among women who possess artistic talent, and to furnish a standard of excellence and a market for their work.” The Women’s Exchange dedicated itself to an evenbroader purpose. Inclusive of all women, the Exchange operated on the principle of encouraging women to sell products that they could produce in the home, from pies to linens. In a post-Civil War America, where a large number of women had lost their husbands or fathers and the economic support upon which they traditionally relied, self-sufficiency became a critical necessity. As Wheeler remembered, “Women of all classes had always been dependent upon the wage-earning capacity of men, and although the strict observance of the custom had become inconvenient and did not fit the times, the sentiment of it remained. But the time was ripe for a change. It was still unwritten law that

June 4, 2015

women should not be wage-earners or salary beneficiaries, but necessity was stronger than the law. In those early days I found myself constantly devising ways of help in individual dilemmas, the disposing of small pictures, embroidery and handwork of various sorts for the benefit of friends or friends of friends who were cramped by untoward circumstances.” Candace Wheeler was the third of eight children born to Abner and Lucy Thurber. Her father, known as Deacon Thurber, was an idealist and religious enthusiast in the Puritan tradition who once desired a future as a missionary for his daughter. Though certainly a woman of scripture, Candace’s mother met the idealism of her husband with a more practical outlook. Described by Candace as a “domestic manufacturer,” theirs was a home that did not want for

It was also a home very much in sympathy with the Abolitionist movement – so much so that the use of cotton was forbidden in any of the family’s clothing.

food, clothing or the effort required to support such a large family in the heart of the rural Catskills. And “manufacture” they did: candlemaking, tapping and producing maple syrup, smoking and curing meat, pickling, farming and storing vegetables such as turnips, potatoes, carrots and cabbage and, with an early glimpse at Candace’s future, needlework and the “spinning and weaving of cloth for the winter warmth of all of us.” Life in the Thurber home, as it stood

method of it was to call me the ‘nigger queen.’” As she grew older, despite having been instilled at an early age with the foundational qualities of hard work, selfsufficiency and respect for individual dignity, the idea of living life as an independent woman in the mid-1800s remained a distant and foreign concept. Writing later in life, Wheeler would note, “In the life of the country town where I grew up there were no girls of fortune and

ALMANAC WEEKLY A. Arthur, the White House. In 1883, Wheeler would go on to inaugurate her own textile design business, concentrating on authentic American designs. Successfully negotiating her way through a world unaccustomed to dealing with a professional woman, Wheeler succeeded in creating designs for textile manufactures across the US, while at the same time opening doors for other women to follow in a field previously d o m i n at e d b y men. Throughout the course of her remaining years, Wheeler would author numerous books on interior design, needlework and gardening and, in 1893, her pioneering work was honored with the prestigious appointment as director and supervisor for the interior decorations of the Women’s Building at the Chicago World’s Fair. It was also in the spring of 1883, according to Wheeler’s autobiography, that she and her brother Frank disembarked from a train in Phoenicia and set out to look for a hill “from the top of which there would be a great outlook” and where they could “build a camp or cabin and live the wild life for a little space.” Eventually, arriving at what was called “the Crossroads” in Tannersville, they looked out at an expanse where “Round Top and High Peak sloped away from each other...with a far-off misty view of miles of the Hudson Valley” and knew that they were home. It would be called Onteora, and its purpose was a decidedly simple one: to “satisfy the instinct of happiness.” Soon rustic cottages began to rise, with Pennyroyal and Lotus Land being the first. Other buildings, including more cottages, an inn, a church and a library, would follow as an expanding circle of friends, artists and writers began to find their way to the remote mountainside. In addition to summer visits by Mark Twain and the occasional appearance of John Burroughs, Onteora residents included, at one time or another, painters Carroll Beckwith and Jervis McEntee, Columbia professor Brander Matthews, editor Richard Gilder and the president of the National Academy of Design, John Alexander. Women were also an equal and vital part of life at Onteora. Among those who became closely associated with the mountaintop setting was Mary Mapes Dodge, who built her cottage Yarrow in 1888. Dodge, the editor of the thenpopular children’s magazine St. Nicholas, is today best-remembered for her work Hans Brinker: or the Silver Skates. Elizabeth Custer, widow of general George Armstrong Custer, who had turned to writing books of Western motif following the general’s “untimely” death, arrived in 1894. And, in 1900, Maude Adams, already established as one of America’s premier actors, having won acclaim for

her performance of Peter Pan, also made her way to Wheeler’s “hill top.” In light of Candace Wheeler’s life and the independent course that she had chartered, it should be no surprise that the women who found their way to Onteora were of like mind and strengths. Independent in their work, they drew upon their talents to sustain themselves and their lives through what their minds and hands crafted. Wheeler’s gathering of artists, writers and intellectuals within the rustic beauty of the mountains that she loved was, as she would offer in her autobiography, “the outcome of all I had learned and experienced during the first half of my life.” When she died in 1923 at the age of 96 (having moved to Georgia during her final years), Wheeler had begun to see the fruits of her earlier labors. Women had obtained the right to vote and, more importantly to Wheeler, were beginning to exert an increasing influence outside the home. While her own star had faded as she moved into the silence of old age, the earlier path that she had forged had begun to widen as more and more footsteps followed. As a child in Delhi, a young Candace would worry about what was to become of her. Little did she realize at the time (little do we all realize) that at the center of those younger years lay the learning and understanding that she would take into adulthood: the tools by which she would be able to direct the course of future days. For out of that small rural home, from all “the manufactures that were accomplished there” and the “moral and mental standards” that were established there, came a life that would create a difference – a difference that would take on the world quite nicely. – Richard Heppner

Surrounded and encouraged by an everincreasing circle of friends that included such artists as Frederic Church, Sanford Gifford and Jervis McEntee, Wheeler began to understand the intimate relationship between artist and art.

none who were self-supporting. There were one or two elderly single women who ‘helped themselves’ by school teaching or giving inadequate lessons upon the piano, and those two pursuits were the only ones open to unmarried women. The career of a powerful and competent single woman, as we know it today, was an unheralded dream.” Ironically, the future for Candace Thurber would arrive in the form of an introduction to Thomas Wheeler. Within a year of a first meeting arranged by friends as she visited New York, they were married. The college-educated Wheeler, described by his wife as both a “clever” and “progressive” man, would, in the years ahead, lend eager support to his wife’s endeavors as his success as a merchant with ties to academia and the arts opened new avenues along which his ardent bride would travel. In reflecting on her marriage and the future that they would share, Wheeler likened their transforming partnership to “stepping over a century, leaving behind me the habits and thoughts of early Puritan life and coming into a new world of advanced thought and intellectual freedom.” Over the course of the next three decades, as she devoted her time to

raising the couple’s four children, Wheeler would begin to immerse herself in the arts. Surrounded and encouraged by an ever-increasing circle of friends that included such artists as Frederic Church, Sanford Gifford and Jervis McEntee, Wheeler began to understand the intimate relationship between artist and art. “I got great help from all these friendly artists, and as I had always drawn flowers enthusiastically and successfully, and loved the intricacies and mysteries of color, I found myself before too long an amateur flower-painter, with pictures accepted and even sold at Academy exhibitions.” Still, it was not until middle age approached that Wheeler began to reassemble her life and the direction in which her remaining years would follow. At the age of 49, after the death of her oldest daughter, Cannie, from Bright’s disease, Wheeler would draw upon both the moral and practical lessons of her childhood to charter a new direction – not only for herself but also for women whose circumstances, talent and skills called out for opportunity. Where most might have been content to settle for what life had provided, Wheeler forged on, noting, as she reflected on the death of her daughter, that the experience had changed her “whole attitude toward life and taught me its duties, not only to those I loved, but to all who needed help and comfort.” To those ends, the Society of Decorative Arts, the Women’s Exchange and a career that challenged the status quo would follow. Out of her work and associations developed through both her personal life and those made through the Society and the Exchange, Wheeler embarked on a full life of developing as an artist, honing her skills as a designer and venturing into various enterprises within the decorative arts. In 1879 she entered into a partnership with Louis Comfort Tiffany to form the textile firm Associated Artists. Included among their many design projects were Mark Twain’s Hartford, Connecticut home, the home of Cornelius Vanderbilt II and, during the presidency of Chester

“First People of Esopus” exhibit at Ulster Park’s Klyne Esopus Museum The Klyne Esopus Museum in Ulster Park reopens for the season on Sunday, June 7 with the continuation of the exhibit mounted last year: “First People of Esopus.” Archaeologist Jay Ciccone curated the display of Native American artifacts collected in the Town of Esopus by the late Norm Bohan, who discovered and collected the objects in the 1930s and ’40s along the Hudson off River Road near his family home. The museum is open Friday through Monday from 1 to 4 p.m. each week through the second Sunday in October. Admission is free, but goodwill donations are appreciated. The artifacts in “First People of Esopus” tell the story of the first inhabitants of the area: the Esopus tribe of the Lenape Indian Nation native to New York. Traces of the lives that they’d lived along the Hudson were left behind at the scenes of their encampments, where Bohan began collecting the objects in his youth. As his collection grew, so did his interest in archaeology and Native Americans, and after retiring from a distinguished career in the Navy he came home and picked up the thread of discovery. Norm and his wife, Fran, became active members of the Klyne Esopus Historical Society. The Bohans invited SUNYNew Paltz archaeologists and students to conduct a dig on their property, and following Norm’s death in 2013, the family donated his collection of Indian artifacts to the Klyne Esopus Museum, where the first objects went on display last year. Late last fall, the remainder of the collection was conveyed to the museum for conservation and display. The Klyne Esopus Museum is housed in a former Dutch country church, built circa 1827. The two-story brick structure accommodated a congregation that was established in 1791. When they outgrew the space that they had, they purchased a 100-acre parcel of land from the VanAken

Now people who want another reminder of the IBM era can browse through a selection of images, text and video from the original show. Also available are nearly 50 oral histories by people who lived through this Hudson Valley industrial heyday.

The “Kingston: The IBM Years” website was produced by the Southeastern New York Library Resources Council (SENYLRC), which coordinates the Hudson River Valley Heritage (HRVH) service. It was created by Jennifer Palmentiero, Digital Services librarian at SENYLRC, with assistance from Ward Mintz, exhibition curator and board member of Friends of Historic Kingston.

family, along with enough bricks to build a church; the cost for that was $230. The building’s early Gothic-inspired design features a rectangular, symmetrical layout similar to Federal-style meetinghouses built during that period. Pressed-metal tin was added to its interior walls and ceiling in 1890, followed by additional refurbishments in 1927 on the church’s 100th anniversary. By the mid-20th century the church’s congregation had declined in number, however, and in 1965 it was slated for closure and demolition of the building. But as the site awaited its fate, local residents stepped in, led by congregation members Marion Sahler and Kingston’s Ruth Ford, late wife to current Kingston historian Ed Ford. The building was saved, and the Klyne Esopus Historical Society Museum opened there in 1970. Today the museum, renamed simply the Klyne Esopus Museum, offers a series of public programs and exhibits each spring through autumn. – Sharyn Flanagan

propensity for talking over his talk-show guests would argue that pontificating is what the guy enjoys best, so he should be in his element onstage at the Ulster Performing Arts Center. Presumably much of the content of the show will be determined by the headlines of the week preceding, like an extended version of the traditional opening monologue on his TV show. But one can probably also expect some wellrehearsed set pieces of perennial relevance on hot-button topics like religion(s) and the American health care system where he is (in)famously opinionated. People on the rightmost end of the political spectrum tend to typecast Maher as a lefty extremist, but the truth is that the guy is tough to pin down: He’s a board member of People for

the Ethical Treatment of Animals who is also a gun-owner; antiwar but pro-capital punishment; avowedly pro-science in debates over such issues as evolution and global warming, but aligned with the antivaccine crowd. He vigorously champions free speech but does not suffer foolish talk gladly. Labels like left-winger, liberal, libertarian or atheist simply fail to capture the fluidity of Maher’s points of view. He may not sound like he’s listening to his guests a lot of the time, but clearly he’s voraciously taking in a boatload of information from many sources and angles and processing it constantly. The man eats controversy for breakfast and continuously excretes well-reasoned verbal barbs that spare no one. If you

t is sometimes said that when a house appears in your dreams, it represents your “larger self.” Certainly homes bear a great deal of symbolic baggage related to identity and security, history and memory, stability and refuge. But in the harsh light of reality they can also turn out to be mere waystations transited on a lifelong arc of risk and change – and if we are both wise and lucky, growth. In both Bruce Norris’ Pulitzer and Tonywinning 2010 drama Clybourne Park and the 1959 play that inspired it, Lorraine Hansberry’s classic A Raisin in the Sun, one particular house is the vessel that carries an explosive cargo of emotional investment by many people over several decades fraught with social change. The Chicago neighborhood made tense by white flight and “blockbusting” in the earlier work – and in Act I of Clybourne Park – has become a middle-class black enclave threatened by gentrification a generation later in Act II. By specifying that the same actors portray different roles in the first and second half, Norris reminds us that these characters caught up in the turbulent currents of history are not mere mouthpieces for greed, racism, reform or aspiration, but human beings leading complicated lives. You can see a local production of this highly praised play at the Shadowland Theatre in Ellenville, where Clybourne Park is running Thursday through Saturday evenings at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. until June 14. James Glossman directs, and the cast includes Ryan Quinn, Katie Hartke, Wayne Pyle, Michael Irvin Pollard, Naja S. Selby, Emily Sucher and Dan Mian. Following the performance on Thursday, June 4, there will be a “Shadowland Illumination” talkback with the cast, crew and artistic director Brendan Burke. Tickets cost $39 for evening performances and $34 for matinées. If you’re thinking about subscribing for the whole Shadowland summer season – all six plays for $187 – now would be the best time.

There’s a great big beautiful tomorrow

Tomorrowland will inspire kids who want to change the world

f you’re old enough now to remember the New York World’s Fair of 1964/65 (but still have your memory), you were probably a kid at the time, susceptible to whiz-bang projections of future Utopias made possible by the wonders of technology and innovation. Unless you were a red-diaper baby whose parents made a point of explaining to you that what you were seeing there was a capitalist vision, brought to you by corrupt, greedy megacorporations like Ford and GM and GE, you probably found it all quite magical. It may even have shaped your worldview a bit, tilting you toward the we-canchange-the-world idealism that characterized the best of ’60s/’70s counterculture thinking. It may have been still the Cold War era, but at the World’s Fair, every country – NATO, Soviet bloc and Third World alike – got along as neighbors. Even all the songs that you heard as you made the rounds of the exhibits were all about human progress and harmony and what a small world we were. Soon after the Fair ended, our older brothers were getting drafted and sent to Vietnam. Even while it was going on, there were race riots in the streets at urban flashpoints all across America. Air and water pollution were becoming issues impossible to ignore. It wasn’t long before the dream of a future fantasyland of peace and abundance and clean energy and a million time-saving conveniences touted by World’s Fair exhibitors was revealed as soap-bubble thin and fragile. But for those of us who were there, that dream still dies hard. In some ways, like

the electronic gadgets that have changed our lives so profoundly in recent decades, it has proven to be demonstrably not a fantasy (though it certainly has a dark side). We who still cling to shreds of that youthful idealism are one segment – the smaller segment – of the audience for whom Brad Bird’s new movie Tomorrowland will resonate. It is for us that the film’s opening scenes are set at the ’64/’65 World’s Fair. The other, larger segment consists of today’s kids, who have a future of their own to shape and rescue from their elders who persistently muck it up. Diehard cynics shouldn’t even bother giving this movie a try without littl’uns in tow; you won’t be able to get past its relentless moralizing on the subject of optimism (or the lack of it) being the butterfly-wing flap that determines which of a gazillion potential futures awaits the generations to come. Yes, it’s all a little square and squeaky-clean, as befits a Disney product aimed at a very young audience. And yes, it glosses over all those issues of corporate greed and its casualties that inevitably accompany “progress” as defined by inventive entrepreneurial types. But it also does a creditable job of fanning the embers of hope that maybe our planet isn’t doomed quite yet. Science fiction geeks – and just-plainscience geeks – should get a kick out

of the references tossed their way in Tomorrowland, even if the explanations about alternative realities and everything being powered by “tachyon energy” in the happy version of the future visited by the principal characters seem a bit mushy, particle-physicswise. One of the best injokes is a minor character introducing himself as Hugo Gernsback: a sure sign to some that things are not quite what they seem in this scene. (The real Gernsback was the somewhat shady founder/editor of the pulp magazine Amazing Stories, first to publish many of the authors from science fiction’s Golden Era, and the man after whom the Hugo Awards are named.) Another likable thing about this lessthan-perfect movie is the relationship among the three main characters: Casey Newton (Britt Robertson), a girl of about 13 who wants to keep the NASA space program from being shut down and subsequently is given a mysterious passport to Tomorrowland; Athena (Raffey Cassidy), an android recruiter for Tomorrowland who looks like a preteen girl; and Frank Walker (George Clooney), a grizzled, grumpy, reclusive inventor who was recruited by Athena in his own boyhood, then booted out of Tomorrowland for subversive activities after discovering that the happy-version future is apparently doomed by humanity’s own fatalistic tendencies. It comes as no surprise at all that stubbornly idealistic Casey is the key to saving the world, and much of this tale seems equally predictable. But it breaks new ground in throwing together an adult male matinée idol and two feisty young girls to share the screen for more than half of the movie without ever straying into anything remotely sexualized or, on the other extreme, getting excessively saccharine in the old Disney mode.

Thunder in the Valley Inter Tribal Pow-wow At Big Indian Valley Park 8293 Rt. 28, Big Indian, NY 12410 July 18th & 19th, 2015

Hopeless, cynical Walker clearly meets his match in Casey and Athena, and the two very professional young actresses absolutely hold their own, considering how much they have to do. Robertson is a dead ringer for a much younger Jennifer Lawrence, and seems to possess the action-heroine chops to follow in her career footsteps. I also recommend Tomorrowland for the spectacular art direction. Whether it’s visiting past, present or the shiny future, it just looks terrific – way better than General Motors’ Futurama ride, and it doesn’t require clear-cutting any rainforests with laser saws. If you believe that human ingenuity can sometimes actually make things better, just ignore the plot holes and strap yourself in for the wild ride. Better yet, bring an impressionable child along. – Frances Marion Platt To read Frances Marion Platt’s previous movie reviews & other film-related pieces, visit our Almanac Weekly website at HudsonValleyAlmanacWeekly.com and click on the “film” tab.

Getting their goats Country Living Fair in Rhinebeck this weekend features Fabulous Beekman Boys

he scenario of hapless city slickers gamely trying to make a go of living in the country is an old classic, from Aesop’s fable “The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse” and Shakespeare’s As You Like It to Kaufman and Hart’s 1940 play George Washington Slept Here and the ’60s TV sitcom Green Acres. In real life, as documented in the best-selling memoir The Bucolic Plague and the Cooking Channel reality show The Fabulous Beekman Boys, a couple of gay professionals made a rocky transition from Manhattan to Sharon Springs in Schoharie County when, starting in 2007, they purchased the Beekman Farm, started raising goats and turning their milk into a line of soaps and cheeses called Beekman 1802. At first Josh Kilmer-Purcell and Dr. Brent Ridge admittedly had no clue what they were doing, but now they’re celebrities – and their product line seems to be doing pretty well. The Beekman Boys will be among the high-profile guests at this year’s Country Living Fair at the Dutchess County Fairgrounds in Rhinebeck this weekend. It’s one of four such regional fairs celebrating the upscale rural lifestyle put on each year by the folks at Country Living magazine. The event features cooking, crafting and do-it-yourself demonstrations, samples of locally sourced artisanal food, a Specialty Food Market and Country Living General Store, plus more than 200 vendors including antiques dealers, furnituremakers, artists and craftspeople. Besides Ridge and Kilmer-Purcell, visitors will be able to meet Cari Cucksey, star of HGTV’s Cash & Cari, and contributing DIY Network designer/stylist Joanne Palmisano.

Rainbow’s End Butterfly Farm

VASSAR COLLEGE

STAGE My daughter and I visited Rainbow’s End Butterfly Farm, and we appreciated so many things about it. The butterfly house is filled with tempting, colorful blooms, but we were able to persuade a few Monarchs and Painted Ladies to perch on our Gatorade-infused cotton swabs. The caterpillar tent next door offers a chance to see different types of these hungry, wiggly creatures, all in different phases of development. The dainty tables and chairs dotting the lawn make a sweet spot for a water break or picnic lunch. The short butterfly trail to a tadpole-filled pond features informative signposts that the kids enjoyed reading. We finished by browsing through the gift

Daddy Long Legs on stage in Vassar production At Home in the World

ere’s a cool story for you: The Japanese word Ashinaga means Daddy Longlegs, a name inspired by the novel with that title written by 1901 Vassar College alumna Jean Webster. The mission of Ashinaga is inspired by the storyline as well, and the foundation has raised over $1 billion to finance the education of orphans in the world. The connection between Vassar College and Ashinaga grew over the years, and now you can see a production – directed by Tony Award winner John Caird (Les Misérables, Nicholas Nickleby) – that helps to illustrate the impact of this global reach. This Monday, June 8 at 8 p.m. in the Martel Theater, Vassar College hosts the American premiere of At Home in the World, a performance that ties together the continents of Africa, Asia, Europe and North America, including scenes with American choral singing with the Vassar College Choir, Ugandan dancing, singing, drumming and Japanese taiko drumming. Seating is limited, and preregistration is encouraged. Tickets cost $15 each. Vassar College is located at 124 Raymond Avenue in Poughkeepsie.

Ride the Ridge to benefit High Meadow School in Stone Ridge

Check your tire pressure and lubricate your derailleur! It’s time to get out and Ride the Ridge for the benefit of the Performing Arts Center (PAC) at the High Meadow School in Stone Ridge. With a choice of four routes of varying degrees of challenge that all start and end at the school on Main Street, everyone can join in the bicycling fun. Each non-competitive ride will be supported by sag wagons, directional signs and strategically located food and water stops, with a generous lunch awaiting each rider at the finish line. In years past, up to 400 bicyclists have pedaled around the region in support of High Meadow’s PAC. With all the volunteer support staff and participation from local businesses, and non-riding family members and spectators as well, the attending crowd could swell to 500 or more, which makes the event the biggest annual fundraiser for the school that has served children and families in the community for more than 30 years. Cycling enthusiasts of all ages and skill levels will find a ride that fits their speed from one of four routes. The 50-mile Bud Clarke Memorial Shawangunk Ridge Ride is named after the late event founder and is meant for expert riders who want to push their limits. They’ll tackle the ascent

up the West Trapps of the ‘Gunks ridge at Minnewaska State Park, from which the views of the Catskills Mountains and Hudson Valley are rather spectacular. The thrilling descent – we’re talking about speeds up to 50 miles per hour – returns riders to the Wallkill River and back to Stone Ridge. A 30-mile Countryside Ride, also for more advanced riders, will loop around many of the historic houses of the region and journey along the Wallkill past the stone Gatehouse to Mohonk Mountain House in New Paltz before returning to Stone Ridge. The 11-mile Intermediate Scenic Ride, a shorter-but-no-lesschallenging route, will take cyclists along the Rondout Creek past remnants of one of the segments of the historic Delaware & Hudson Canal and uphill for glimpses of the majestic Mohonk Mountain House atop the ridge. Parents and children will enjoy a fivemile Family Ride down Main Street and through the scenic back roads and neighborhoods of Stone Ridge.

“Earth Sky Dream”

Works by Linda Newman Boughton, Chris Freeman, Laura Von Rosk, Bruce Murphy, Vince Vella and Jane Bloodgood-Abrams at Carrie Haddad Gallery

he Carrie Haddad Gallery is now showing “Earth Sky Dream,” a group exhibit featuring artists Lin‑da Newman Boughton, Chris Freeman, Laura Von Rosk, Bruce Murphy, Vince Vella and Jane Bloodgood-Abrams. The exhibit will be on view until July 12. A reception for the artists will be held on Saturday, June 6 from 6 to 8 p.m. All are welcome to attend. This is Linda Newman Boughton’s first exhibition in Hudson. One who mistakes a ballpoint pen for the medium of a doodling high-school student would instantly be proven otherwise by Boughton’s drawings on Arches paper. The result is a work of art so intricate that it takes the ink of at least four pens to produce. The drawings could almost be mistaken for lithographs. Boughton studied at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City, where she worked in the fashion industry for several years illustrating, designing accessories and shooting freelance photography. The fashion world led her to Hollywood, where she painted sets and assorted artwork for feature films and television series such as Fight Club, Water for Elephants and Desperate Housewives. Chris Freeman’s approach to his new work is quite the opposite of the slick polyurethane and oil paintings produced during his time spent in New York City in the ’80s and ’90s. Today, he creates with latex housepaint, small brushes and queen-size bedsheets. The surfaces of the bedsheets are the material embodiment of his intimate life: They fit his body; they are the space of dreams and relationships, the daily cycles of waking, breathing and thinking. Freeman created art and worked

Linda Newman Boughton’s Jan Van Goyan Ballpoint, 2013, 54” X 42.” Boughton’s ballpoint pen drawings are so intricate that it takes the ink of at least four pens to produce one piece.

with other artists during his time in New York City. He built and installed sculpture for names like Claes Oldenberg, Vito Acconci and Nam June Paik. He moved to Hudson in 2005, where he restored a synagogue that now serves as his home and studio. Contemporary painter Bruce Murphy presents a new series of soft-focus abstract landscapes as well as paintings on sheet metal. Murphy’s materials of choice are enamel paint, metallic powders and gold leaf, which he layers onto pieces of copper, paper or wood. Murphy cites Pierre Bonnard, founding member of the Post-Impressionist group Les Nabis, as a major artistic influence. Murphy graduated from the Parsons School of Design with a BFA in Painting. He later worked as a graphic designer for various publications such as House and Garden. He currently devotes himself fulltime to his art. Laura Von Rosk blurs the boundary between reality and the subconscious through mixing visions from memory with emotionally charged imagery. These visions of landscapes become “dreamscapes,” where forms are repeated, emphasized, manipulated or invented into fantastical environments in which nature takes on bodily forms. Von Rosk received a New York Foundation for the Arts painting fellowship and a grant from the Pollack-Krasner Foundation, among other awards for her work. Vince Vella’s landscapes are the work of a spontaneous painter obsessed with his mantra of “rock, sea and sky.” Vella exhibited his work in galleries from Cape Cod to the Hudson Valley, and helped many people through his work as an art therapist. When Vince Vella passed away in 2012 at the age of 66, his pastels were generously donated by his wife to the Carrie Haddad Gallery. The proceeds from sales are donated to nonprofit organizations in Columbia County. To date, the gallery has donated to Animal

Kind, the Columbia County Probation Offices, the Roeliff Jansen Community Library, Columbia Memorial Hospital, the Salvation Army Daily Soup Kitchen, Columbia-Greene Community College and the Hudson Little League. The upstairs gallery will feature the work of Kingston’s Jane BloodgoodAbrams, one of the area’s most celebrated landscape artists, who creates Luministinspired compositions of the Hudson River Valley. She translates her experience with nature onto canvas, working and

reworking over a period of time with layers of paint that are applied, wiped away and reapplied. The result is a radiantly dramatic remembrance of BloodgoodAbram’s encounter with “something beyond everyday life.” The Carrie Haddad Gallery is located at 622 Warren Street in Hudson, open daily from 11 to 5 p.m. and on Sundays from 12 noon to 5 p.m. For more information and directions, call (518) 828-1915 or send an e-mail to carriehaddadgallery@verizon. net.

Warren Hurley exhibition at Kingston’s Storefront Gallery For the month of June, the Storefront Gallery at 93 Broadway in the historic waterfront section of Kingston will feature the paintings of Warren Hurley in a show titled “Random Flowers.” The opening reception takes place on Saturday, June 6 from 5 to 8 p.m. “Random Flowers” is a series of stilllife paintings comprised of a simple bouquet of flowers purchased at the supermarket and placed casually in a plain glass vase. In these paintings it is the color and distortion created by light refracted through the water in the vase that intrigues the artist. His aim in this exploration is to make the commonplace elegant by presenting the subject as starkly as possible without romanticizing it. The ordinary glass vase and understated background contrast the color and complexity of the flowers to present a simple-but-dramatic composition. Much of Hurley’s current work explores the countryside near where he lives in High Falls. He particularly likes painting snow, and attempts to capture the quiet that comes just after dawn or shortly before dusk. Hurley serves on the Board of Directors

of the Arts Society of Kingston. He is represented in several public and private collections. Gallery hours are Friday and Saturday from 12 noon to 5 p.m. and by appointment, as well as 24/7 through the storefront windows. For more info, visit www.thestorefrontgallery.com or call (845) 338-8473.

I think that Ann is so terrific, and I learn or notice something in the natural world every single time I see her. She likes to create mini-scavenger hunts, and this latest one was a kit: a list of things to find, a hand lens and a pencil, all nestled together in a little baggie. My kids loved it! Here’s her scavenger hunt so that you can recreate it at home. It’s a fun activity to do with all ages, right in your own backyard, at a local park or during a rest stop while you’re on the road.

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

To drip or to drench?

How to know when you’ ve watered enough

es, little water has dropped from the sky this spring here in the Hudson Valley (as of this writing, at the end of May, at least – all of which could have changed by the time this goes to press). But a drip irrigation system automatically waters many of my plants. So why have I been spending so much time with hose in hand? Not all my plants drink in the drips. Trees and shrubs are on their own, except for their first year in the ground, when I religiously handwater them every few days initially, and then once a week throughout the season. These plants get three-quarters of a gallon per week for every square foot spread (estimated) of their root systems. That’s equivalent to an inch of rainfall – which, if it does fall, exempts me from a few days of watering. A couple of inches’ depth of hay, leaf or wood chip mulch around the trees and shrubs seals in moisture to make best use of my efforts. Also, I start with smaller plants – less than four feet tall – which become independent of my watering sooner, because a larger proportion of their roots are soon foraging around in surrounding soil than those of larger plants. My flowerbeds also don’t get dripped. Although the soil surface is dry, moisture carried over from winter still sits in lower depths, into which established perennial flowers’ roots can tap. Annuals and newly planted perennials need to be watered on the same schedule as young trees until their roots reach that moisture.

It is my garden vegetables that drink in the benefits of my drip system. But even here some hand-watering is needed these days. Down each bed run one or two driplines, with emitters along the lines spaced six inches apart. As water enters the soil, capillary pull from small spaces between the soil particles draws water sideways and, along with gravity, downward. The resulting wetting fronts have the shape, if you could look at a cross-section of the soil, of an ice cream cone. In clay soils, with small particles and hence a lot of capillary draw, that ice cream cone is very fat; in sandy soils, it’s narrow: a couple of feet wide at its broadest, as compared with the six-foot spread in a clay soil. The wetting fronts start their sideways spread below the soil surface – deeper in sandy soils, more shallow in clay soils. In either case, the soil surface remains dry except right at the point of drip. So any vegetable transplants or seeds that I set in the ground need to be hand-watered until their roots reach the wetting front – except for seeds or transplants set right under or along the dripline. My friend David was wondering why the leaves of his romaine lettuce plants flopped down. I gave my usual response to most gardening questions: “Too little water.” (My other usual response is “Too much water,” often following my first response if the questioner tells of watering all the time.)

Lee with his soil-moisture probe

So I asked David how much he watered, and he said that he thoroughly soaked the ground by spraying it with water. Busted! It really was a water problem: too little, in this case. In fact, thoroughly wetting the soil with the usual four-foot-diameter handheld spray is almost impossible. “Thoroughly wet” means soaking the ground to at least a six-inch depth. For his handheld sprayer to do that, David would have to stand in place like a statue, sprayer in hand, unmoving, for about an hour to wet one four-foot-diameter part of the garden before moving on to the next four-footdiameter area. When I’m watering plants in the ground by hand, I’m wetting only the small area beneath an individual plant – just enough to soak its roots as they establish themselves in the surrounding soil. People find it hard to believe that that statuesque watering posture is really necessary. All you have to do is scratch the soil surface after a Davidesque spraying of plants to see how deeply the water percolated, and you’d find only a thin layer of wet soil, at the surface. Digging a hole in the ground is a good way to tell if watering was sufficient. But

it’s also inconvenient. For just a few dollars, I invested, years ago, in an electronic gizmo that bypasses all that hole-digging. This soil-moisture sensor has a metal probe that you plunge into the soil. Atop the probe is a dial or digital readout that tells whether the soil is “DRY,” “WET” or something in between. More accurate sensors cost over a hundred dollars, but the cheap ones are fairly accurate and work well if coupled with observation. The soil-moisture meter is especially useful with potted plants, which might need watering every day when the weather is warm, sunny and breezy. (With experience, lifting a pot to feel its weight is also a good measure of moisture level – as is just getting to know your plants better.) I’m still hand-watering the pots because I haven’t yet connected the drip tubes that will direct water to each of the pots. – Lee Reich Any gardening questions?

NIGHT SKY

Planetary potpourri Random observations from the observatory

he sky will get pretty spectacular later in June. So this particular moonless week is a good time to clear out some miscellaneous notes. To the ancients, the number six was unlucky but seven brought good fortune. Star groups with six (or else eight) visible members were therefore wrongly labeled with a “seven” – like the Seven Sisters. That’s also why there were Seven Wonders of the World, Seven Seas, a Seventh Heaven and so on: nothing with a six. Many think that ancient cultures had great wisdom – building the pyramids, that sort of thing. And while you can’t take that away from them, not a single pre-Renaissance book nor religious leader foresaw the existence of germs, surmised that air is a mixture of substances, suggested that there might be more planets than the five visible ones or picked up on anything that wasn’t already obvious or established. Only a single person in all the 50 centuries of pre-Renaissance history – Aristarchus, on the Greek island of Samos – figured out that Earth goes around the Sun. All in all, we humans displayed very few traces of foresight or perspicacity. Indeed, the ancients had most things backward. To give just one example, its very slow visible motion made classical cultures regard the god Saturn as gloomy, heavy and depressed – in a word, saturnine. But the actual feeling you consistently get when telescopically observing the ringed world is exactly the opposite. Looking at Saturn produces exhilaration in all who see it. And far from heavy, it’s the fluffiest planet in the known universe – less dense than water. In a large enough lake, it would float like a cork. We had our kitchen renovated. Great work deserves a compliment. The owner, Mari, at the Woodstock home improvement store Evolved created a wonderful design, then

did a superb job at low cost. Her workers were flawless in their craftsmanship. Hats off. Where can you see the stars best in New York State? Short answer: the Adirondacks. But they’re also pretty darned good from the western Catskills, like outside Andes or Delhi. You need an open space away from overhanging trees. Try a school track field or a cemetery. Maybe stop and tell the local police what you’re up to, as a courtesy. I did a program at the Cairo-Durham Middle School last Friday night, and several people brought telescopes. All their mirrors were way out of whack, degrading the images. Just so you know, if you buy a reflector-type telescope, its main mirror will need periodic collimation. Not a difficult job, but if you’re not prepared to do it, stick with an 80mm refractor. Latest June-through-August forecast from the National Weather Service: a coolerthan-normal summer here – not much cooler; just a bit. Sure, long-range forecasts rarely offer better than 60 percent accuracy. But it beats a coin toss. This is satellite season. Watch the sky for three minutes between 9 and 10 p.m. any night and you’ll see one. Most slowly cross the sky in a north/south direction: These are reconnaissance satellites. If its light is steady, it’s probably still functioning and actively spying. That’s Venus down in the west the first couple of hours after sunset. For the next month it will be bright enough to cast faint crisp-edged shadows on any white surface (like a spread-out sheet) if you’re away from all artificial lights. Now I can toss all those scraps. Next week we’ll try to include some thematic coherency. – Bob Berman Want to know more?

legals LEGAL NOTICE NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Local Law, published herewith has been adopted by the County Legislature of the County of Ulster, New York on April 21, 2015, approved by the County Executive on May 14, 2015, and filed with the State of New York on May 21, 2015, and the validity of the obligations authorized by such Local Law may be herinafter contested only if such obligations were authorized for an object or purpose for which said County is not authorized to expend money, or if the provisions of law which should have been complied with as of the date of publication of this notice were not substantially complied with, and an action, suit or proceeding contesting such validity is commenced within twenty days after the date of publication of this notice, or such obligations were authorized in violations of the provisions of the Constitutions. DATED: June 4, 2015 Kingston, New York Victoria A. Fabella, Clerk Ulster County Legislature Local Law Number 6 Of 2015 County Of Ulster A Local Law Establishing A Tobacco Retail License and Reducing Youth Exposure to Tobacco BE IT ENACTED, by the County Legislature of the County of Ulster, New York, as follows: SECTION 1. TITLE. This Local Law shall be known as the “Ulster County Tobacco Licensing and Reduced Youth Exposure to Tobacco Law.” SECTION 2. LEGISLATIVE INTENT. The Ulster County Legislature hereby finds and determines that Ulster County has a substantial interest in reducing the number of individuals of all ages who use cigarettes and other tobacco products, and a particular interest in protecting adolescents from tobacco dependence and the illnesses and premature death associated with tobacco use. Tobacco companies sell products that are addictive and inherently dangerous, causing cancer, heart disease, and other serious illnesses. An overwhelming majority of Americans who use tobacco products begin using such products while they are adolescents and become addicted before reaching the age of eighteen (18). The Surgeon General of the United States has concluded that if young people don’t start using tobacco by age 26, they almost certainly will never start. Studies have found higher rates of smoking at schools with more tobacco retailers within walking distance. Researchers suggest that limiting the proximity of tobacco outlets to schools may be an effective strategy to reduce youth smoking rates. Although it is unlawful to sell tobacco products to minors, 5.9% of New York retailers surveyed do sell to minors (New York State Department of Health, 2010 Youth Access Tobacco Enforcement Program Annual report); and 20% of underage smokers in New York report that they usually purchase their cigarettes from a retail store (New York Youth Tobacco Survey 2008). A local licensing system for tobacco retailers will provide a local enforcement mechanism to allow Ulster County to monitor and increase Tobacco Retailers’ compliance with state and federal laws that prohibit sales of tobacco products to minors by requiring compliance with these laws as a condition for obtaining and maintaining a local Tobacco Retail License. A local licensing system for Tobacco Retailers is consistent with the County’s power pursuant to General Municipal Law to protect and promote the health of its youth. Moreover, the Family Smoking Prevention and Control Act of 2009 provides local governments with the freedom to implement tobacco control policy options, including tobacco licensing and reducing the number of tobacco retailers in heavily youth populated areas. A recent survey by the Baruch College School of Public Affairs found that 78% of Ulster County residents surveyed opposed tobacco sales at stores near schools and 61% percent favored an outright ban on the sale of tobacco products nears schools. Therefore, it is the intent of Ulster County to reduce youth smoking rates by implementing effective measures through this Local Law to license all tobacco retail outlets, restrict the establishment of new tobacco retail outlets near schools, provide locally enforceable penalties, and increase education and awareness of the harm associated with tobacco use in youth populations. SECTION 3. DEFINITIONS. ADMINISTRATIVE HEARING means a hearing administered by the Ulster County Department of Health as allowed by New York Public Health Law Section 309 and according to regulations adopted by the Ulster County Department of Health. APPLICANT means an individual, partnership, limited liability company, corporation, or other business entity seeking an Ulster

to reinstatement of such license. SECTION 10. VIOLATIONS AND ENFORCEMENT. (A) The Department or its authorized designee(s) shall enforce this Local Law’s provisions. The Department may conduct periodic inspections in order to ensure compliance with this Local law. (B) In addition to the penalties provided for in Section 9, any Person found to be in violation of this Local Law, after notice and an opportunity to be heard at an Administrative Hearing, shall be liable for a civil penalty of not more than $250 for the first violation, not more than $500 for the second violation within a two (2) year period, and not more than $1,000 for the third and each subsequent violation within a two (2) year period. SECTION 11. ADMINISTRATION. (A) The Commissioner of the Ulster County Health Department, in consultation with the Ulster County Board of Health, is hereby authorized to develop rules, regulations, and procedures necessary to implement this Local Law. (B) The Commissioner shall have the authority to waive the distance requirement of Section 4(E) for any new Applicant who did not previously possess a valid Tobacco Retail License, only if it can be shown by clear and convincing evidence by the Applicant that a waiver of such distance requirement will not compromise the aforestated purpose and the general intent of this Local Law. SECTION 12. SEVERABILITY. If any clause, sentence, paragraph, subdivision, section, or part of this regulation or the application thereof to any person, individual, corporation, firm, partnership, entity, or circumstance shall be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unconstitutional, such order of judgment shall not effect, impair, or invalidate the remainder thereof, but shall be confined in its operation to the clause, sentence, paragraph, subdivision, section, or part of this regulation, or its application to the person, individual, corporation, firm, partnership, entity, or circumstance directly involved in the controversy in which such order of judgment shall be rendered.

Situations Wanted

FOSTER HOMES NEEDED FOR KITTENS AND PREGNANT CATS.The WOODSTOCK FERAL CAT PROJECT is a local not for profit organization committed to reducing future feral cat populations through spay/neuter. We often find orphaned kittens who need a loving home until they are old enough to be adopted. Some orphaned kittens are so young that they require bottle feeding. We affectionately call them “bottle babies”. We recently placed three pregnant cats in three wonderful homes. The cats gave birth and when the kittens are weaned (no longer nursing), we will look to find loving homes for the kittens and their mothers. If you are interested in fostering or would like to learn more about fostering, please call (917) 282-2018 or email DRJLPK@AOL.COM.
