DESSERTS

They say that everyone in Woodstock knows Happy Traum, and that Happy Traum knows everyone. An integral figured in the Greenwich Village folk music renaissance of the ’50s and ’60s, the prolific and beloved Traum has worked with pretty much everyone within and without that movement – from Dylan, Seeger and Ochs to George Harrison to Allen Ginsberg. On Saturday, June 18 at the Kleinert/ James Center for the Arts, in a program titled Coming of Age in the Greenwich Village Folk Revival and the Woodstock Scene (1954-1971), Traum will give the audience a combination of song and narrative, aided by vintage photos and music clips related to his participation in the New York folk revival, including the legendary 1961 “Folk Riot” in which musicians protested for the right to perform in Washington Square Park. The performance begins at 8 p.m.; the doors open at 7:30. Tickets cost $20 general admission, $18 for Byrdcliffe members; to purchase, call (845) 6792079 or www.woodstockguild.org/ happytraum.html.

HISTORY Lecture by John Jay biographer at Bevier House Museum in Marbletown on Sunday

Portrait of John Jay by Gilbert Stuart (The National Gallery of Art)

While being homeschooled wasn’t as unusual a thing back in the 18th century as it is nowadays, historian Dr. Ray Raymond, who is currently working on a new biography of John Jay, believes that the combination of homeschooling at an early age with a university education later (at Columbia’s precursor, King’s College) contributed mightily to Jay’s ability to master key concepts of Enlightenment constitutional thinking. Among the results: authorship of the original New York State Constitution (in Kingston!) and some of the Federalist Papers, leadership of the wartime Continental Congress and a distinguished postwar career as a diplomat. Dr. Raymond, who is an associate professor of Government and History at SUNY-Ulster and also teaches Government and Politics at the US Military Academy, will give a talk titled “John Jay: The Education of an Enlightened Constitutional Thinker” this Sunday afternoon, June 19 at 3 p.m. It’s the latest in the ongoing lecture series sponsored by the Ulster County Historical Society (UCHS), presented at the Bevier House Museum, located at 2682 Route 209 in Marbletown. Admission costs $7 for the general public, $5 for students, seniors and members of the military and is free for UCHS members.

A Juneteenth day celebration in Texas in 1900

COMMUNITY

Kingston to celebrate Juneteenth

t took two-and-a-half years after Abraham Lincoln’s issuance on January 1, 1863 of the Emancipation Proclamation for the last of America’s slaves to get the word that they had been freed. It wasn’t until June 19, 1865, when major general Gordon Granger rode into Galveston with a document called General Order Number 3, that Texas finally fell in line with the rest of the country in abolishing human slavery. Beginning on the first anniversary of that historic event and continuing annually (with varying degrees of participation) ever since, African Americans and their friends and allies have been celebrating the date as Juneteenth. It became a state holiday in New York in 2004. The City of Kingston has been marking Juneteenth for four years now, though not necessarily on the exact anniversary. This year’s festivities fall only a day off, on Saturday, June 18 beginning at 5 p.m. The focal point will be the New Progressive Baptist Church, located at 8 Hone Street. Honorees for 2016 will be minister Rita Worthington of the New Progressive Baptist Church and historian/author A. J. Williams-Myers, professor of Black Studies at SUNY-New Paltz. In his keynote speech, Dr. Williams-Myers will introduce a new community resource that is being named in his honor: the Library at the A. J. WilliamsMyers African Roots Community Center, located at 43 Gill Street in Kingston. Another highlight of Juneteenth 2016 in Kingston will be the donation to the new library of a collection of 25 historical photographic prints from the Civil Rights movement. Jim Peppler, who was staff photographer and photo editor at the Southern Courier newspaper from 1965 to 1968 before being hired by Newsday, was a major force in documenting Civil Rights activism and social conditions in Alabama at that time. Peppler will present the photographs in person. The event will also feature a mask and puppet show by the Redwing Blackbird Theater of Rosendale and inspirational dancing by the Praise Dancers of the New Progressive Baptist Church. Evelyn Clarke, Ulster County Human Rights commissioner and minister at the New Progressive Baptist Church, will emcee. A free, home-cooked, Southern-style dinner will wind up the festivities. Juneteenth Kingston is sponsored by the New Progressive Baptist Church, Kingston ENJAN (End the New Jim Crow Action Network), Woodstock Jewish Congregation’s End the New Jim Crow Task Force, LGBTQ Task Force to Undo Mass Incarceration and Institutional Racism and Citizen Action of Kingston.

Wholistic hops Arrowood Farms in Accord, the first organic farm-brewery in the state

rrowood Farms Brewery and Tasting Room, located in the pastoral hills of Accord, is celebrating its recent certification as the first organic farm-brewery in the state. It is operated under the notion – the obsession, really – that beer is best “grown from the ground up.” To that end, farmers Blake Arrowood and Jessie Lotrecchiano and brewmaster Jacob Meglio grow an acre of hops and ten of Danko rye on-site. The hopyard, which holds six different varieties, is situated right next to the tasting room, so visitors can relax on the patio and watch the neighboring sheep

graze their way through the 20-foot-tall trellises, providing free weed and pest control. A large flock of heritage ducks splashes around a small pond. They have a job to do, too: They’re free to roam to “fertilize” the hopyard. In the distance, a row of beehives provides a home to busy pollinators. And a small herd of pigs resides under the canopy of a wooded area on another side of the property. They take care of the waste grain from the brewing process. The scene is so bucolic and refreshing, you might forget that farming is hard work and risky. It has taken three years of sustained effort for Arrowood and his associates to realize their dream of producing handcrafted artisan beer – effort that includes constructing animal shelters and a state-of-the-art brewpub, building up the soil, cultivating hops and grain that never travel more than a few feet from field to tap and brewing in small batches with the freshest ingredients possible, truly representing local flavor. Originally from North Carolina, Arrowood’s background was not in agriculture, unless you count his family’s home being backed up to a dairy farm. “Both my grandfather’s parents were farming families,” he says. “After college, I started out in advertising. Working on Planet Green on the Discovery Channel got me into the environmental world. I went overseas with WorldTeach to the Marshall Islands, where they get all their food shipped in; nobody grows food there – and I started their first community garden. Exploring different cultures

and communities, you see people based around farms and foods and agriculture. The energy and liveliness of those communities was something I wanted to be part of. Moving here to the Rondout Valley and Accord was like heaven.” He describes how the symbiotic relationship between animals and the land can be encouraged to the benefit of both. “We learned that ducks produce a high-nitrogen waste, and hops really love nitrogen. And it grew from there. We quickly realized that to make a viable farm, we needed to produce a value-added product. Jacob [who studied Biology in

college and made homebrew for many years] came on full-time as head brewer; we got him off his med-school track. And we’ve been rolling with it since. “We planted a lot of native pollinators: annuals and perennials. We’ll produce our own honey for the tasting room and to brew with. Having the sheep graze through the hopyard to keep down the bottom foliage opens up air flow and helps mitigate against pests and disease. We’re trying to involve the animals in all our systems and make it work for the end product, which is the beer – and the land. That’s the ultimate goal. When we talk

he considers himself an entrepreneur, he says, “We’re just figuring it out: the best way to make our farm successful and viable. And in that process, the entrepreneurial spirit has led us in that way of diversifying and figuring out how to make it work. For us, that is taking what we’re growing and making the best beer we can. And hopefully some prosciutto…” Slow Food Hudson Valley will host a private opening of the Arrowood Farms Brewery and Tasting Room on Thursday, June 23. Come take a tour of the brewery and farm and enjoy a tasting flight of four four-ounce beer samples, plus a pint of your choice and an array of delectables: duck eggs, bread, cheese, olives.

BEER, BOURBON & BACON FESTIVAL IN RHINEBECK

hat is this mysterious, iconic connection between geeks and bacon? Go to a website like ThinkGeek! that markets products to proudly self-identified geeks – science and IT geeks in particular – and you’ll find no end of tee-shirts, soaps, pens, shower curtains, refrigerator magnets and whatnot that reference bacon in some way. While the pop-culture association with STEMheads remains a bit murky, it’s not difficult to understand the pull of bacon on the human palate: that tantalizing smell that sorely tempts vegetarians and dieters to lapse. We know that it’s irredeemably bad for our cardiovascular health, but we crave it anyway. That brings us to the presumed rationale behind the creation of the Beer, Bourbon & Bacon Festival, a side project of the Hudson Valley Brew Festival that returns to the Dutchess Fairgrounds on Saturday, June 18. It’s not where you’d want to live your whole life, maybe, but it does promise one rare and glorious afternoon of unrepentant hedonism. And your Designated Driver not only qualifies for a cheaper ticket price, but also gets to chow down on baconflavored everything imaginable as compensation for his or her abstinence from alcohol. Featured providers of tiny tastes of bourbon include four from New York State – 1911 Spirits, Hudson Valley Distillers, Black Dirt Distillery and Tuthilltown Spirits/Hudson Whiskey – plus three other artisan distillers. Similarly, the long list of microbreweries leans heavily-but-not-exclusively toward New York, with 23 of the 61 “official” breweries, cideries and meaderies being based in our home state. Among them are such local favorites as Kingston’s Keegan Ales, Poughkeepsie’s Mill House Brewing Co., Sloop Brewing and Blue Collar Brewery, the Newburgh Brewing Co., Chester’s Rushing Duck Brewing Co., the Peekskill Brewery, Elmsford’s Captain Lawrence Brewing Co., Warwick’s Naked Flock and Doc’s Draft Hard Cider and Albany’s Nine Pin Cider Works. Only two breweries from outside the US are represented, both from Denmark – and one of them, Mikkeler, has been known to produce a limited-edition flavor called Beer Geek Bacon. Bourbon and beer samples are included in the regular ticket price, but food must be purchased separately. Vendors announced so far include Handsome Devil BBQ, Janek’s, Kath’s Catering, Vinnie’s Bacon Pizza. Elia’s Catering in Highland will operate a Bacon Bar where you can buy “flights” of five different bacon samples to accompany your beer flights. Be aware that it's a festival tradition to wear pretzels on a string around your neck to use as palate-cleansers between tastes! The Beer, Bourbon & Bacon Festival runs from 2 to 6 p.m. ($100 VIP ticketholders get early admission at 1 p.m.) on Saturday, June 18 at the Dutchess County Fairgrounds, located at 6550 Spring Brook Avenue (Route 9) in Hyde Park, rain or shine. No one under age 21 will be admitted. There will be live music all afternoon from Professor Louie & the Crowmatix, Payne’s Grey Sky and Painted Blue Sky. Tickets cost $55 at the gate, $45 in advance, $15 ($35 VIP) for Designated Drivers.

about producing craft beer, we want to differentiate ourselves in establishing the farm for the brewery.” Arrowood says that the land lay fallow for a decade. The next phase of development will be to plant fruit and nut trees. Feeding the five piglets a pail of mash, he says, “They will just root up everything, so we’ll let them all out into this fenced space in a couple of weeks. We wanted to start utilizing the wooded acreage on the farm. They don’t have

a lot of hair, so they get really hot and sunburned. They like shade.” Managing 48 acres of crops and woods with a slew of farm animals looks almost easy at Arrowood Farms. When asked if

Every community library worth its salt puts on a themed summer reading program designed to entice kids to stay engaged in the world of books outside of the academic year, and perhaps even discover that reading is a highly pleasurable voluntary leisuretime pursuit. Some libraries have taken that idea the next step by sponsoring adult summer reading programs as well, to reel in those silly grownups who don’t automatically reach for a nice thick novel or biography every time they head for a beach blanket, deck chair or hammock. One of these pioneers in literacy outreach to adults is the Town of Esopus Library, whose 2016 adult summer reading program sports the tagline “Exercise Your Mind, Read!” To kick off

ach year the Hudson Valley Society for Music brings together performers and conductors from several of the region’s top-shelf classical, chamber and choral music ensembles for a cluster of concerts celebrating the prodigious output of Johann Sebastian Bach. This year’s BachFest – the 17th annual edition – is spread out over two weekends and will be presented in venues on both sides of the Hudson. BachFest 2016 is dedicated to the memory of Paul Frazer, one of the event’s co-founders, who died in 2015. Highlights will include one of the everpopular Brandenburgs – Concerto #2, with West Point’s John Manning stepping in to handle the “stratospheric” trumpet solos – and the work that contains one of Bach’s most famous arias, “Sheep May Safely Graze”: the Hunting Cantata. Most of the musical action takes place of June 25 and 26, but the kickoff concert happens this Sunday, June 19 at 3 p.m. at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, located at 17 South Avenue in Beacon. The focus is on Bach’s keyboard works, including his E Minor Partita, G Major and C Minor French Suites, the Italian Concerto and the Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue. Guest

or the millions who adore Daryl Hall and John Oates (no longer going by the name Hall & Oates), nothing else quite scratches the same spot. Count among their adoring fans the brilliant electrotheatrical-pop band the Bird and the Bee, whose full-length tribute to Hall & Oates earned them more attention than their three outstanding collections of originals. Daryl Hall and John Oates are big everywhere, but there is a special warm spot for them around here, where Hall has spent so much time and currently owns a hopping venue, Daryl’s Place, on the site of the old Towne Crier in Pawling. Legendary hitmakers and the best-selling duo of all time, Daryl Hall and John Oates perform at the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts on Saturday, June 18 at 7:30 p.m., with Mayer Hawthorne on board for support.

ne (of the many) challenging thing(s) about instrumental rock: no lead vocal track to privilege and pamper at the expense of the all the other sounds in the mix, thus no real industry-default rubric and pecking order with which to coordinate and hierarchize parts within limited bandwidth. Above all things, commercial mix engineers become adept at creating clearance for lead vocals: a wide and plush berth, a diva lane for the money sound. They use EQ, the stereo field and the many forms of volume control to marginalize, suppress, tame and subordinate the human voice’s instrumental competition, as God surely intended in the Garden. Yes, there’s early REM if you’d like to know what the alternative Eden of a leveled playing field really sounds like in a pop song, but then there’s “Everybody Hurts.” And we do: We hurt. If, as my recording engineer and theorist brother Dave continually asserts, the most important aspect of a mix is a clear and single point of focus at all times, the gilded voice tends to win that pageant just by showing up, especially when it arrives speaking of love and loss. On Our Birth Is but a Sleep and Forgetting (2016, Small Stone Records), the veteran instrumental New Paltz dark psych/rock trio It’s Not Night; It’s Space does in fact come speaking of love, though a different kind of love from Sade’s or Cole Porter’s. This is not voiceless or wordless music per se. Our Birth Is but a Sleep and a Forgetting begins with an ideological red herring, the three-and-a-half minutes (a blink of an eye in INNIS time) of “Nada Brahma,” in which a mostly acoustic raga supplies a bed for a found-media spoken-word collage. IF, AS MY RECORDING ENGINEER AND THEORIST It’s a morphing, culturally active waft of juxtaposed voices in the tradition brother Dave continually asserts, the most important aspect of a mix of Negativland and other aficionados is a clear and single point of focus at all times, of the overnight short-wave radio, the gilded voice tends to win that pageant just by showing up, old television outtake and tape-splice especially when it arrives speaking of love and loss. aesthetic. These voices speak of the things that have always concerned INNIS: altered states, the ancient and future arts of consciousness, neuro-shamanism, magick with a k and the realer realities outside the frame of the ego. It’s Crowley and McKenna stuff, or (as it will always be known to me) Phil Farber stuff. The track supplies philosophical pretext and rationale for the exquisite instrumental rock that follows, but not much of a teaser of the sound, really. Only when “Nada Brahma” slides without pause or hitch into the pummeling, arabesque, deeply grooving heavy drone rock of “The Beard of Macroprosopus” do you know where you are. The rate of change in the stoner rock genre (if the band Sleep is to be taken as its apotheosis) tends to make Philip Glass sound like Carl Stalling or György Ligeti, but here’s where INNIS distinguishes itself with a muted and borderline-proggy formal ambition. There are certain kinds of psychic transport only attainable by lingering on a drone or a single pattern long after the modern mind has expressed its desire to move along, and that place is where INNIS lives; but this band has become nothing short of masterful at the art of the narrative arc as well. And that’s important for an instrumental band. Jams that transfix live can just bore in the studio if a band is not taking its storytelling responsibility seriously. In fact, there are moments on the gorgeous, euphonious epic “Across the Luster of the Desert into the Polychrome Hills” where I swear to Goddamn that this is pop music. While most of INNIS’s lovely and simple melodicism derives from the East (and also from Cobain), “Starry Wisdom” nods to the bluesier and cockier rock with which INNIS often finds itself paired at the national psych/rock festivals at which its profile is rising (including the one that its members curate right here in the mid-Hudson Valley). Recorded and co-produced by New Paltz’s man of infinite hats Rick Birmingham, Our Birth Is but a Sleep and Forgetting manages to find space and separation aplenty amidst its relentless grind, thud and drone. Kevin Halcott’s rainbow of blooming, saturated, reverberated, filtered and E-bowed guitar sounds, arrayed in Spartan-but-artful counterpoint, is the first sound among equals in the democratic INNIS mix. Bassist Tommy Guerrero’s riff commitment is spiritual and simply unshakable. But in my opinion this band’s secret weapon (and I was there at their first performances at Adam Roufberg’s open mic at Oasis in New Paltz at the turn of the decade) has always been the off-genre, curiously distinctive drumming of Michael Lutomski. It is by virtue of his deep and laggy Nick Mason pocket, his flitty, retro psychedelic moves and the pure tonefulness and the variety of glancing sounds in his playing that – no matter how sludgy it gets (plenty) – INNIS never, ever strikes me as a metal band. Good deal. There’s one thing Zeppelin and Sabbath understood that metal forgot as it moved into the psychosocial dystopian critique that it can’t seem to grow beyond: Satan was sexy, serpentine and fond of fiddles and dancing, not some piston-heavy, faceless and iron-assed machine of war. INNIS plays with a lithe organic grace, a sure sign of the years that they have put in and the continual purification of their egoless ensemble concept. But what is most striking on Our Birth Is but a Sleep and Forgetting is how much they have grown as composers, without ever violating their fundamentally meditative vocation. It is just beautiful stuff. I don’t know how else to say it. INNIS celebrates the impending (June 24) release of Our Birth Is but a Sleep and Forgetting with their frequent billmates, Kingston’s improvisational psych collective Ultraam, River Cult and Seven Swords on Friday, June 24 at Snug Harbor in New Paltz, beginning at 10 p.m. Snug Harbor is located at 38 Main Street in New Paltz.

Cambiz was witness to a day in world history that no Iranian has ever forgotten and few Americans know

DION OGUST | ALMANAC WEEKLY

Cambiz Amir-Khosravi’s father, Reza Gohli Amirkhosrovi, was a powerful, shadowy ﬁgure in the autocratic, West-friendly regime of Reza Shah.

Finding a father TSL in Hudson to premiere Cambiz Amir-Khosravi’s Inheritance

e barely knew his father. His few memories of the man who abandoned him as a child with neither explanation nor apology made it easy for Cambiz Amir-Khosravi to shrug his shoulders at the news of his father’s mysterious death in 1956. But Amir-Khosravi is 71 years old now. He looks back on his childhood and wonders at his fractured history and how it relates not only to the stranger who was his father, but also to the role that his father played in the murderous regime which he served in pre-revolutionary Iran. Amir-Khosravi is haunted by a single sharp memory of a day just outside the front door of the comfortable home in which he lived for a time in Teheran in 1953. He was nine years old on August 19 of that year, when he was drawn outside to the street by an angry, chanting crowd. He remembers the man the mob attacked and killed. He remembers seeing the man’s body thrown on the back of a truck as if it were garbage. He didn’t know it then – could not have understood it if he did – that he was witness to a day in world history that no Iranian has ever forgotten and few Americans know: the day the duly elected president of Iran, Mohammed Mossadegh, was deposed by a military coup that was backed by the CIA. For anyone who doesn’t remember the hostage crisis of 1979 – which among other things gave us the presidency of Ronald Reagan, decades of diplomatic paralysis and a constant drumbeat of hatred toward the West in general and the US in particular – that day has to be numbered among the most infamous events of the 20th and even the 21st century. Yet few Americans knew about it at the time, and even fewer remember it today: a situation that Amir-Khosravi means to remedy, however modestly, with his memoir/ documentary. He has spent the past four years pursuing an understanding of that event and the geopolitical events that have resulted and transpired since then. That

memory is the linchpin in Inheritance, the movie that Amir-Khosravi has made that explores the intertwined roots of Iran’s tumultuous history and his own. Amir-Khosravi is a widely recognized, award-winning documentary film and video producer whose work ranges back to the early 1980s. He’s also a well-known figure in the Woodstock area. Before Inheritance, he did his adopted hometown a solid with the documentary Woodstock: In Search of Utopia – what he calls an unknown tale of Woodstock, told by and about the artists who helped create it. Inheritance is a film about a search of a different kind, one that’s simultaneously vast and personal. Amir-Khosravi, like so many documentarians whose art lies in the depiction of others, said that he was loath to become the subject of his film. At the same time, he knew that an exploration of Iranian history couldn’t be told without a person at its center. So he made an artistic compromise. “Even though it [the film] is about me, it is not,” he said during a recent interview at his home in Shady. “I created a persona. I picked out things from my personal history that were reflective of a colonialdominated Third World country: all the dysfunction, the racism, that contributed to what Iran was and what it has become.” Following his footsteps through a childhood that was at once privileged and utterly mysterious to him, Amir-Khosravi recalls the few memories he has of his father. What little he knew of the man, he didn’t like. But in his search to learn more, he found a number of academic and even best-selling books, many of which, in pursuing their stories about Iran, relied heavily on US State Department files. Shock still echoes in his voice as he marvels at the fact that these strangers – and his own government – knew more about his father than he ever did. Amir-Khosravi’s father, Reza Gohli Amirkhosrovi, was a powerful, shadowy figure in the autocratic, West-friendly

regime of Reza Shah, the man whose son, the infamous Mohammed Reza Shah Pahlavi, was forced to flee the country in the weeks before religious militants seized the US embassy in Teheran in 1979. He was the government’s minister of finance. His signature graced the country’s currency. Then as now, oil was the determining factor in the United States' relationship to Iran. It was bad enough for American interests when Mossadegh was democratically elected and brought elements of democracy to the ancient country. But his decision in 1953 to nationalize the country’s oil industry – representing roughly a fifth of the world’s oil production – was too much for the US and Great Britain; their secret backing of the military coup that removed Mossadegh from power is a memory as strong among Iranians as the memory of 9/11 is among Americans. What Amir-Khosravi’s father had to do with all this political turbulence is a question that the film explores through the use of vintage newsreel footage and interviews with such expert as Stephen Kinzer, author of All the Shah’s Men, and with the personal testimony of friends of Amir-Khosravi, who recount some of his early adventures, both political and personal, as a painter who found his life’s calling as a filmmaker. Inheritance asks more questions than it answers, which is the way that AmirKhosravi likes it. No one with the slightest knowledge of the history of the Middle East in general or Iran in particular can fail to recognize how the contortions of political power have shifted with the ages like no other place on Earth, and for as long as history has been recorded. AmirKhosravi knows this in his bones, and Inheritance is his attempt to show how he, his father and his country of origin have contributed to the river of history. – Jeremiah Horrigan Inheritance local premiere, Saturday,

MOVIE Dave Franco, Lizzy Caplan, Woody Harrelson and Jesse Eisenberg in Now You See Me 2

Deft handiwork Now You See Me 2 tricks audiences into believing that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re enjoying themselves

hen Now You See Me, Louis Leterrierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flashy caper flick about an illassorted quartet of elite stage magicians recruited to expose high-stakes corporate wrongdoing, came out in 2013, I gave it a lukewarm review. I was far from the only critic to be less than generous in passing judgment on it. But some movies seem to get better in retrospect, and for me, Now You See Me proved to be one of them. Its visual dazzle and the cleverness of its narrative twists and turns stayed with me far longer than its immediate impressions of lack of depth or implausibility. With the exception of Mark Ruffalo as Dylan Rhodes, the FBI agent obsessed with tracking the elusive Four Horsemen (for reasons rooted in his personal backstory), the characterizations were pretty thin â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but they were funny, and I eventually realized that I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind encountering those guys onscreen again. So when I heard that the inevitable sequel would be coming out this spring, I was surprised to find myself looking forward to it more than I would have imagined the first time around. Having seen it, I am not disappointed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; even though Now You See Me 2 shares the weaknesses of its predecessor, and is once again failing to wow the critics. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really the perfect summer fluff movie, like a new James Bond or Iron Man outing, and I find myself not at all opposed to seeing it expand into a franchise, if cinematic franchises we must have. Though Ed Solomon has stayed on as lead screenwriter, a few tonal aspects have changed under the helming of a new director, Jon M. Chu. Most significantly, the ending of the first movie left the audience pondering some ambiguous hints that the Four Horsemen might be on the verge of tapping into some sort of occult energy source: â&#x20AC;&#x153;real magicâ&#x20AC;? as

(the aforementioned spying chip) from his former business partner. Mabry is a wannabe magician who has embraced a more prosaic version of the Dark Arts, and no noble Harry Potter for sure; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clear that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relishing the chance to play a real baddie for a change. Returning to the cast on the villainous side are Michael Caine as the icy-hearted insurance magnate Arthur Tressler and Morgan Freeman as Thaddeus Bradley, the magic-debunker whom Agent Rhodes put in prison in the first film for his complicity in the death of Rhodesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father. This time around, Dylan needs Thaddeusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; help, and gets more than one chance to demonstrate his own chops as the scion of a magical family. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diverting to see Ruffalo sneer, when weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re so used to watching him be scruffily charming onscreen most of the time. He sneers surprisingly well. Once again, we have here a lightweight, entertaining vehicle with not much in the way of pretension to be more, other than as arguable allegory for the way that todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mass media manage to manipulate public perception by making illusions look and feel as real as reality itself. You could even read a bit of Edward Snowdenesque political commentary into the identitystealing designs of the bad guys, but the whole web of smoke and mirrors that is Now You See Me 2 is too flimsy to sustain much such poking. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s okay, though. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s summertime, and the invention of a movie series in which the cartoon superheroesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; superpowers are nothing more than extreme manual dexterity, achieved by constant practice, seems as refreshing to me right now as a long tall glass of iced lemonade. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Frances Marion Platt

of one in Now You See Me 2, as he gets to play his own evil twin Chase, grinning maniacally while Merritt mostly sticks to his cynical scowl. Yeah, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a cheesy, overdone trope, and still only turns a one-dimensional character into a twodimensional one. But hey, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Woody Harrelson! The way that the Horsemenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personalities grate on one another, even while they learn to work absolutely seamlessly when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on a job for the Eye, is great fun to watch. Avoiding development of the story in the direction of the metaphysical proves to be a wise decision on Chuâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part, putting the focus squarely on the mind-boggling practical mechanics of the illusions that they manage to pull off, frequently in very public places with minimal control over crowd movement and angles of view. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sequence where they collectively have to steal a McGuffin â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a superpowerful privacy-wrecking computer chip that is conveniently the exact size and shape of a playing card â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and spirit it past metal detectors without setting them off; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s some of the most entertaining, complex choreography of miniaturized camerawork that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen onscreen, ever. Okay, so thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bit of CGI assist here and there; but the overall effect is that such a bewilderingly fast, elaborate and precisely executed card trick might really be carried off by highly talented practitioners of the art, without reliance upon supernatural assistance. Speaking of â&#x20AC;&#x153;real magic,â&#x20AC;? one of the core jokes of Now You See Me 2 is the casting of Daniel Radcliffe as Walter Mabry, a highly unscrupulous, wealthy IT whiz kid who kidnaps the Horsemen and forces them to help steal back his invention

opposed to mere expert prestidigitation and misdirection. Chu apparently chose not to go down that road, although we do learn more about the ancient and mysterious secret society of magicians known as the Eye, which has brought illusionist Danny Atlas (Jesse Eisenberg), hypnotist Merritt McKinney (Woody Harrelson) and sleight-of-hand artist Jack Wilder (Dave Franco) together. Due to the inconvenient pregnancy of Isla Fisher, the only Horsewoman, escape artist Henley Reeves, has been replaced in the sequel by Lizzy Caplan as Lula May, whose specialty is traditional stagemagician schtik like getting sawed in half. Her most notorious trick as of the outset of the movie has been pulling a hat out of a rabbit, which she now finds rather embarrassingly unsophisticated. But she does get some very funny, sarcastic lines â&#x20AC;&#x201C; mostly mocking the â&#x20AC;&#x153;mansplainingâ&#x20AC;? attitudes of her new colleagues â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and a howler of a scene where, masquerading as a prep chef at a fancy public event, she creates a diversion by pretending to cut off her own hand with an electric knife and flinging the bloody prosthesis across the room. Fisher was good in the original, but Caplan definitely holds her own and breathes some new life into the character lineup. Eisenberg needs some subtler material for his talents; we get it by now that Danny is a control freak, and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to be reminded quite so often or so explicitly. Francoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jack is still the grubby street performer who prefers to keep a low profile (especially considering that he faked his own death in the first movie). And if you think that more is better when it comes to having Harrelson onscreen, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll appreciate getting two for the price

ART A wild ride Retro Rally at Kenny & Renee Darmstadt's eclectic Cornell Street Studios in Kingston on Saturday

The view of and from Cornell Street Studios, site of the Retro Rally to be held this Saturday, June 18. Prizes will be given for Best Dressed and Best Cars. The 15-foot-tall, 3,500-pound metal rocking horse shown at the Lace Mill is titled Big Boy, and it was created by Brandon Bultman.

hey’re not what you’d expect of an industriallooking space above a garage-door business, but the bright and roomy Cornell Street Studios are just what Renee Darmstadt and her father, Kenny, always hoped them to be – better, even. In 2007, Kenny wanted to bring something new to the complex that he’d built in 1989 as a home for his business, Darmstadt Overhead Doors. He cleared out the second floor of the building, which was functioning

as a warehouse, and invited artists to show their work in the new gallery space. A year later, Renee stepped in, helping to transform the expansive space into what it is today: a “one-stop shop” (as Renee puts it) for everything from food to fitness to boutique shopping – and, of course, art. Renee, who attended college in New York City, says that she never thought that she’d be working with her dad. “I was working in the City and I kept coming home every weekend. A lot of things were changing in Kingston. It was becoming a pretty artsy town.” Renee saw a chance to put two of her college passions, arts administration and fitness (she ran track in school), to use in her hometown. So she moved back to Kingston and began collaborating with her father, as well as local artists and

DION OGUST | ALMANAC WEEKLY

Father-daughter duo Kenny and Renee Darmstadt (pictured above) transformed the space above their Midtown Kingston business, Darmstadt Overhead Doors, into Cornell Street Studios, an artist gallery and a one-stop shop for everything from food and ﬁtness to boutique shopping.

businesspeople. What’s blossomed from their endeavor is a truly unique and wildly eclectic space. The studios include one designated fitness studio, a pop-up clothing boutique, a body-waxer, a gift shop, a main gallery, two hallway galleries, a “multispace” used for everything from yoga classes to bridal showers and plenty of room to spare. On weekdays, the Twisted Fork food truck can be found serving up breakfast and lunch in the parking lot. There’s a full schedule of fitness classes with everything from hulahooping to kickboxing that Renee says are taught “by top-of-the-line instructors” in small groups of six to 15 students. The gift shop displays a variety of carefully curated antiques and locally made crafts, while the pop-up boutique Hepp Shop offers a colorful selection of summer clothes. In the smaller hallway gallery is an estate collection of works by painter Estelle Tambak, a contemporary of Diego Rivera. While the pieces are for sale, it’s a more permanent collection than most in Cornell Street Studios. A rotating selection of Tambak’s work has been in the hallway for over a year, with the Darmstadts hoping to introduce visitors to her vibrant-yet-delicate paintings. In a radically different style is “Faces,” a series of bold paintings by local graphic designer/artist Carla Rozman. The show is currently occupying the main gallery through the end of June. “Every artist really changes the space,” says Renee, who tries to bring something totally different to the gallery with each new artist. Renee says that the studios have “evolved,” and she’s not the only one to use that word;

it’s the same one that her father uses to describe the building’s structural aspects. While Renee curates the experience, Kenny is always looking for ways to improve the complex’s efficiency and eco-friendliness, particularly when it comes to heating and cooling. The long copper sheets on the studio walls that at first glance appear to be nothing more than decorative elements are, in fact, radiators that Kenny fashioned from solar panels. With 90 more solar panels on the roof and a boiler powered by recycled (but chemically untreated) wood, Kenny is working toward his goal of creating a netzero building, meaning that he intends for the building to generate as much energy as it uses. For the summer, he’s rolling out a giant sheet of reflective bubble wrap to reflect heat off the outside wall. “You could fry a steak off that thing,” he jokes about the wrap, which provides an alternative to cranking the air conditioning during sweaty summer days. Another alternative to cranking the AC: “We had a hot yoga class in there last year,” says Renee. As innovative business-owners, Renee and Kenny also collaborate on one annual event that appeals to both of their demographics: Cornell Street Studios’ Retro Rally, a classic car show and theme party that takes place on Cornell Street. “It’s kind of a block party,” says Renee. “We give away prizes for Best Dressed and Best Cars.” This year’s tiki-themed shindig will differ from previous years in one notable way: It’s going to take place at night. The event will kick off at 6 p.m. on Saturday, June 18 ( just in time for Fathers’ Day) and will feature food from

In keeping with the “auto month” theme, Cornell Street Studios are also displaying Automotive Abstraction in their main hallway gallery through the end of July. It’s a small collection of colorful up-close photographs of vintage cars by Jessi Spada. One of the best things to come out of this venture, says Renee, is the women’s network that the space has facilitated. “There’s a really good synergy with all of us,” she says, “a lot of crosspollination.” Through meetings in events and fitness classes, the women make connections that are not just social, but also support their business and artistic pursuits. Although Renee could never have predicted this career for herself, she describes it as “a dream. We love what we do, and I’m happy to see that a lot of people like it, too.” While they’re pleased with how successful the Studios have been so far, Renee and Kenny have no plans to slow down. They are currently working to transform one empty room into a second fitness studio and create a rentable firstfloor space suitable for a café. “What’s the next step?” Renee often finds herself wondering. “What can I do to keep things exciting?” As their business continues to evolve with Kingston’s art community, the Darmstadts plan to continue doing what they’ve always done: delivering the unexpected. – Fiona Steacy Retro Rally, Saturday, June 18, 6-8 p.m., free, Cornell Street Studios, 168 Cornell Street, Kingston; (845) 594-4428, www. cornellstreetstudios.com.

a gentrification can tell you, there’s no quicker or surer way to revitalize a rundown neighborhood than to unleash some artists on it; so taking part in this tour supports a worthy cause while it supplies an afternoon’s aesthetic joy. Plus, many of the participating venues lie within walking distance of one another. In fact, from 9 to 11 a.m. on June 18, artist/muralist Franc Palaia himself will be hosting a walking tour of the City of Poughkeepsie. Artist studios will be open to the public from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., offering opportunities to view works by local painters, sculptors, fabric artists, photographers, glass artists and ceramicists. Partner arts organizations – each holding its own activities throughout the day – include Art Centro, the Adriance Memorial Library, the Barrett Art Center, the Cunneen-Hackett Arts Center, the Mid-Hudson Heritage Center, the Cocoon Theatre, the Mill Street Loft, the Rose Gallery of the Arts, the Bardavon 1869 Opera House, the 358 Gallery and the Spark Media Project. The Bardavon will offer free public tours at 12:15 and 1:15 p.m. The Art Institute of the Mill Street Loft is hosting a hands-on “Paint the Pavement” event from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., in which visitors are invited to help create a large street mural on Pershing Avenue. And from 5 to 6 p.m. at the CunneenHackett, the Cocoon Theatre will offer Confessions of a Playwright at 3 a.m., a free performance of vignettes, music, dance and poetry. The all-day reading of The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien will take place in the gardens of the Poughkeepsie Underwear Factory from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., and anyone can sign up to take a turn reading a section. Saturday’s events will conclude in the same location with a site-specific cinematic, musical and poetic visual experience titled Aire: Visual Concert for Nomads. Created by international artists Laia Cabrera, Javier Moreno and Isabelle Duverger, Aire commences at sundown and will be projected onto the façade of the Poughkeepsie Underwear Factory, to be viewed from the parking areas of the Poughkeepsie Safety Building.

NATURE GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

Do you dig? Create excessively posh conditions in a hole, and roots have no incentive to leave

eeding. Planting. Harvesting. Making compost. Spreading compost. Staking. Pruning. Mowing. These are some of the activities that I share with my plants this time of year. But, as Charles Dudley Warner wrote in his 1870 classic, My Summer in a Garden, “Blessed be agriculture! If one does not have too much of it.” Which prompts me to weed, plant, harvest et cetera most efficiently. Let’s take a look at some of the trees and shrubs that I’ve planted this spring: Romeo and Carmen Jewel bush cherries, aronia, Grainger shellbark hickory, Great Wall Asian persimmon, Rosa canina and Hidcote St. Johnswort. Just getting all those plants through their first season could entail lugging around many buckets of water. But it doesn’t. Large plants of any of these could possibly be sourced, but I chose small plants. And that was the first step to making sure that, paraphrasing C. W., I wasn’t overburdened with my agriculture. With smaller root systems, small plants establish more quickly than large plants. In fact, establishing more quickly, smaller plants usually outgrow their larger counterparts after a few years. A tree or shrub with a two-footdiameter rootball might require three gallons of water weekly until enough roots forage out into surrounding soil to make the plant self-sufficient, waterwise. Two

cups of water weekly are enough to keep my newly planted Romeo bush cherry alive since its move from the four-inchdiameter pot that it previously called home. By the end of this growing season, all these small plants will be firmly established and pretty much waterindependent. They’ll get supplemental water only if there are any extended dry spells in their second season. Water for these young plants isn’t all about watering per se. Site preparation is also important. Not that, as older gardening books used to suggest, it’s “better to dig a $50 hole for a $5 tree than a $5 hole for a $50 tree,” the dollar amounts reflecting the size of the tree and the hole. No need for such heroic measures: Digging that large a hole breaks up the capillary channels in a large volume of soil, leaving large air gaps in the soil through which water just runs down and out. Capillary channels can move water, down, up and sideways. Better – and easier – is to dig a hole only twice as wide as the spread of the roots or rootball (if potted), and only as deep as needed so that a plants sits at the same depth as it did its pot or the nursery. With few exceptions, no need to add compost, peat moss, fertilizer or anything else to the soil in the planting hole. After all, the expectation is for roots eventually to extend well beyond the planting hole. Create excessively posh conditions in the hole, and roots have no incentive to leave. Then roots grow only in their planting hole, not beyond. All soil goodies are best lathered on top of the ground. My first choice is for compost. Nutrients and beneficial soil organisms within the compost, over time, meld with the soil below. Compost also softens the impact of raindrops, so that water can percolate down into the

SHAD BOLLING

ground rather than running off in rivulets – lessening my need for watering. A mulch is the final icing on this layer cake. I’ll top the compost with wood chips, leaves, straw – any weed-free organic material. This top layer further softens the impact of raindrops, keeps compost moist and vibrant and slowly decomposes to nourish soil microorganisms and then the tree or shrub. Yesternight’s rain of 1.25 inches did a week’s watering for me. A good rule of thumb is to apply one inch of water once a week, or, equivalently, three-quarters of a gallon per estimated square-foot spread of the roots. Potted trees and shrubs need that one inch of water spread over two or three days of the week for a couple of weeks after being planted, until their roots begin to spread into surrounding soil.

I recently wrote of “renovating” my old lilac shrub: a no-brainer as far as pruning. You just lop each and every part of the plant right to the ground. My fears that such drastic pruning might also kill the plant were unfounded. Already, new sprouts are growing from the sawed-off remains of the plant, as well as from some distance away. All that’s needed now is to choose which sprouts to keep to grow into a whole new shrub. My blueberry shrubs also received more drastic pruning than usual. To lower their height and to encourage and make space for younger, more fruitful stems, I lopped a few of the oldest stems of each bush right to ground level. Like the lilac, new sprouts soon rose from ground level. Late next winter, I’ll save the most vigorous of these new sprouts and lop the rest of them all the way to the ground – and, of course, again lop to ground level some of next year’s oldest stems. Such pruning keeps blueberry and lilacs perennially renewed, without any stems that are too old to flower or fruit well, as well as plenty, but not too many, young replacement stems for the future. – Lee Reich Any gardening questions?

NIGHT SKY

Honey Moon on the Solstice It hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happened since 1948

tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rare, all right.Â A full Moon last landed smack on the Solstice in the 1940s.Â Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the kind of thing that would have inspired the Mayans to shove a few extra in-laws from their pyramids â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the sort of coincidence that would have made theÂ StonehengeÂ folks haul additional stones into position.Â But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actually happeningÂ this Monday, June 20. This has visible in-your-face consequences.Â The Solstice is of course the day with the most minutes of sunshine.Â Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when theÂ middayÂ SunÂ is highest up, when the Sun rises at its leftmost spot on the horizon and sets at its rightmost position. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when the setting Sun sprays into windows at a strange angle, and touches bits of furniture that are notÂ illuminated at any other time. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when the Sunâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s path makes its longest and curviest arc across the heavens. If you want the exact Solstice moment when our Northern Hemisphere is most tipped toward the Sun, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sÂ 6:34 p.m. But first do a Punxsutawney Phil and check out your shadow at 1 p.m. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll seeÂ your shortest shadow of the year. Then you have the full Moon â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which is always opposite the Sun.Â By landing exactly on the Solstice, this Full Moon doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just rise as the Sun sets, but has its wimpiest position of 2016, its lowest of the year.Â Even at its highestÂ atÂ 1 a.m., itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s downright lowdown. This makes it shine through thicker air, which also tends to be humid this time of year, and the combination typically causes it to be amber-colored. This is the true Honey Moon. The moment of full Moon is earlyÂ Monday morning.Â So it will look equally fullÂ on Sunday nightÂ andÂ Monday night.Â You get two chances to view the Honey Moon.

are facts that even the least inclined among us to tree-hugging have come to take for granted. But scientists first had to discover acid rain somewhere, and that foundational research occurred in the 1960s in a place in the White Mountains of New Hampshire called Hubbard Brook. For more than half a century, scientists have converged on the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest to explore how forest ecosystems work, from the flow of water and nutrients to the ecology and behavior of forest animals. Their work has transformed environmental policy, resource management and forestry

practices, informing a range of groundbreaking policy measures that include the 1990 Amendments to the Clean Air Act.Â Notable findings from the siteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 50 years of inquiry include the ecological effects of clear-cutting and other forestry practices, causes of population change in forest birds and mammals and how pests, pathogens, extreme weather and climate change affect forests and nearby streams and lakes.Â One of those pioneering ecologists was Gene E. Likens, founder of the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies, who, together with his colleague Richard T. Holmes of Dartmouth College, has authored a new book about the history and significance of this unique forestturned-laboratory. Hubbard Brook: The Story of a Forest Ecosystem provides an insiderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s view of the research station, relating the natural history of the site, the guiding role of the watershed/ecosystem concept, long-term studies of disturbance (natural and human-made), the role of animals in ecosystem processes and challenges for the future.Â You can learn more about this project â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one of the longest-running and most comprehensive ecosystem investigations in the world â&#x20AC;&#x201C; at the Cary Institute on Friday, June 24 at 7 p.m., when Likens

Juneteenth festivities in Kingston Does the recent remake of Alex Haley’s Roots, current events or simply being a US citizen inspire you to delve deeper into social justice issues, to honor some of our country’s most important milestones? Then how about celebrating Juneteenth this Saturday, June 18 at 5 p.m. at the New Progressive Baptist Church? Juneteenth, a word that combines June and 19th, is the date in 1865 recognized as the actual end of slavery, since many areas were not aware of (or chose not to acknowledge) the Emancipation Proclamation passed two years earlier. June 19 is the date that Major General Gordon Granger rode into Texas with the document called General Order Number 3, thus freeing the slaves there. This Juneteenth program features the introduction of the library at the A. J. Williams-Myers African Roots Community Center, along with a keynote speech about slavery, freedom and Juneteenth from Dr. A. J. WilliamsMyers himself, as well as performances by the Redwing Blackbird Theater of Rosendale and the New Progressive Baptist Church’s Praise Dancers, followed by a free Southern-style dinner. The New Progressive Baptist Church is located at 8 Hone Street in Kingston. For more information, call (914) 388-3092. To learn more about the A. J.

Take your kids and experience hands-on history at this site of actual Revolutionary War involvement, housing 7,500 soldiers and their families, including the 219 children who lived here, too!
