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

estry practices, informing a range of groundbreaking policy measures that include the 1990 Amendments to the Clean Air Act. Notable findings from the site’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. 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 insider’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. You can learn more about this project – one of the longest-running and most comprehensive ecosystem investigations in the world – at the Cary Institute on Friday, June 24 at 7 p.m., when Likens presents “Hubbard Brook: Lessons from the Forest,� a lecture based on the newly released book. This event is free and open to the public; seating is first-come, firstserved. The Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies auditorium is located at 2801 Sharon Turnpike (Route 44) in Millbrook.

Juneberry Hike at Minnewaska, Tree Walk at Phillies Bridge Farm this Saturday What do we know about juneberries, other than the fact that they ripen in June? Would you know one if you saw one? And do you dare to eat it?

As it happens, juneberries are the same thing as serviceberries. The juneberry tree is perhaps better-known in our neck of the woods as shadbush, whose five-petaled white blossoms are among the first to open in early spring and are said to herald the return of shad from the open ocean to their native rivers to spawn. They’re also called shadblow, shadwood, sarvis, sugar plum, wild plum, wild pear, chuckley pear and saskatoon; the botanical name for the family is Amelanchier.

And yes, you can eat juneberries.

Depending on the species, the flavor is said to range from “insipid to delectably sweet,� resembling that of blueberries accented with almond.

If you’d like to be able to identify a shadbush after the flowers have transmuted into fruit, and perhaps sample some, you’re in luck: A five-mile hike to Millbrook Mountain on the Minnewaska

FESTIVAL

Rollin’ on the river Saturday is Hudson River Day at the Hudson River Maritime Museum

D

oes the arrival of sultry summer weather make you dream of getaways to charming harbor towns where you can stroll the waterfront, enjoy the breeze and watch the boats go by? When you don’t have a week off work to travel, there’s nothing like a daytrip to Kingston’s Rondout Historic District to indulge in the fantasy of being in a seaport far, far away.

While any reasonably nice day is a good time for a visit to the Strand, with its delightful waterfront promenade, restaurants, antique shops and boutiques, the Hudson River Maritime Museum is the Rondout’s anchor (pun intended) destination, and this Saturday’s Hudson River Day celebration the perfect excuse to head down dockside.

There’s an amazing array of fun things to do, many of them free, and Museum admission is discounted to $5 for adults, $3 for seniors and free for kids.

Hudson River Day activities go on from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and you’ll want to arrive early if you hope to snag one of the free seats aboard the Mary Theodora. The historic steamboat only holds ten passengers; short jaunts on the Rondout Creek set sail every hour on the hour from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., and seating is first-come, first-served. If you’d sooner spend some money for a reserved seat than wait patiently in line, you might want to buy a ticket online for one of the day’s two sails aboard the replica Dutch yacht Onrust. The “Brunch on the Hudson” excursion costs $39 and departs at 10:30 a.m.; “A Toast to Adriaen Block” costs $49 and heads out at 5 p.m. Both include traditional Dutch refreshments. The Onrust will be open for deck tours between noon and 4 p.m.

Next door, on the porch of the Kingston Home Port and Education Center, kids will be able to participate in boatbuilding and floating, color their names in signal flags and make a monkey’s-fist knot, all free, or get their faces painted for $5. The Hudson River Fishermen’s Association will conduct two-hour Kids’ Fishing Workshops at 10 a.m. and noon, costing $2 per lesson. The New York State Police Scuba Dive Unit and K-9 Unit will give live demonstrations, as will the Rondout Rowing Club. Organized tours of the Maritime Museum and the new Riverport Wooden Boat School will occur throughout the day.

Food booths and trucks will be on hand, along with live music in the Gazebo from Ben Rounds, Payne’s Grey Sky, the River Acoustic Band, the Percussion Orchestra of Kingston (POOK) and Lawson. How can you miss this full day of (sneakily educational) fun?

The Hudson River Maritime Museum is located at 50 Rondout Landing. For more info, call (845) 338-0071. The full schedule for Hudson River Day can be found online at www.hrmm.org/hudson-river-day.html.

It’s always interesting to speculate about how classic works of literature might have been different if only the taboos against non-heterosexual attachments had been as porous in those days as they are becoming in contemporary Western society. When true passion seems sublimated between more decorous lines, modern readers are left to exercise their imaginations – sometimes wildly, sometimes close to the mark.

Herman Melville dedicated his magnum opus Moby-Dick to Nathaniel Hawthorne, his neighbor in the Berkshires. But what if the two 19th-century literary giants had been much more than friends? Inspired by that dedication and informed by a “nuanced reading” of both writers’ reallife letters and journals, novelist Mark Beauregard has written a fanciful version of the “transformative relationship” that may have developed between Melville and Hawthorne after their fateful first meeting at a picnic in 1850.

Beauregard’s new novel is titled The Whale: A Love Story, and he’ll be giving a talk on this “exuberant tale of longing and passion” this Sunday, June 26 at 4 p.m. at the Inquiring Minds bookstore, located at 6 Church Street in New Paltz.

Admission is free. For more info, call (845) 255-8300 or visit www.inquiringbooks. com.

“Conversations in Music” Scott Robinson & Dennis Mackrel at Saugerties Performing Arts Factory this Saturday

I

have often argued in these pages that jazz music is the new classical: a grant-patronized high art, postcommercial, a full-time resident of academia, a little afraid of its own present and its current product. But for jazz, the keynotes of preservation and tradition are paradoxical, as its legacy and narrative are all about innovation, experimentation and extemporaneous invention.

Just as the second Viennese School and all the mathy composers descended from Arnold Schoenberg did much to alienate classical music from the audience that it had enjoyed, uninterrupted, for centuries, bebop stands at the pivot of jazz’s upward brow shift and downward popularity. Many Jazz Studies programs have rechristened themselves “commercial music” to help remove the stigma and the stain of bop’s extreme intellectualization and the long slow death of the tune.

It’s a complex situation befitting the complexity of the form. The current class of jazz players assumes an extra responsibility as genre curators and apologists (as if the burden of playing this grueling music were not full-time enough). And the mid-Hudson Valley has emerged, in many forms, as a center of jazz curatorship. We have the fine work done by Jazzstock in Woodstock, the serious-minded incubation of the Catskill Jazz Factory that has found a collaborator in Bard College and now LVanHart Artist Productions’ “Conversations in Music” series at the Saugerties Performing Arts Factory (SPAF).

This is a local spinoff of a series produced in 2001, in the SoHo section of Manhattan. Those events were held in a loft apartment, and – reminiscent of the early days of the original Falcon

Paul Luke Band plays Opus 40 this Sunday

C

atskill Mountain rock on Catskill Mountain rock, anyone? Local roots and country/rock legends the Paul Luke Band, for whom the term “Catskill Mountain rock” was coined in the ’90s, have been making the scene again in the last few years. On Saturday, June 25, the veteran ensemble returns to the rocks at Opus 40 in Saugerties, Harvey Fite’s famous and unique sculpture park and for decades one of the region’s most stunning and unusual outdoor venues. Special guest Ian Flanigan will open.

Opus 40 has taken its share of weather-related hits in recent years, and maintenance of sculptor Fite’s extraordinary life’s work (he labored on it for 37 years and died in an on-site accident) is expensive. It requires people with a very specific set of skills. Half of the proceeds from this show will benefit Opus 40’s general operating fund.

The show starts at 5 p.m. and the rain date is Sunday, June 26. Lawn chairs and picnic baskets are welcome. Tickets cost $15 in advance and $20 at the gate, and are available at Town & Country Liquors, Mother Earth’s Storehouse, Smith Hardware, Headstock and Convenient Deli in New Paltz. Opus 40 is located at 50 Fite Road in Saugerties, on the corner of George Sickles Road. For more information, visit www.opus40.org or www.paullukeband.com.

The inaugural reboot takes place on Saturday, June 25 at 7:30 p.m. and features saxophonist Scott Robinson and Woodstock resident Dennis Mackrel on drums. Robinson might be best-known for his sheer variety of axes: spanning the embouchures of the tenor sax and the trumpet, going deep-and-Dolphy with the bass clarinet and getting way out on the arcane fringe with the Theremin, the tubarelative ophicleide and the jazzophone.

Counter intuitively and despite his odd toolset, Robinson is a bit of traditionalist as a player: no mere swing revivalist, mind you, but nestled safely within jazz’s mainstream and with a welcome tendency toward accessibility and tunefulness.

Byron is a true heavy, and he'll perform at the acoustically pristine Helsinki Hudson on Saturday, June 25 at 9 p.m.

On this date, Byron will represent his record Do the Boomerang, featuring the music of R & B legend Junior Walker, as well as Ray Charles, James Brown and other soul, funk and jazz artists. Joining Byron is an all-star cast of New York City- and Woodstock-based musical talents, including vocalist Dean Bowman, keyboardist Pete Levin, bassist Scott Petito, guitarist Matthew Finck and superstar drummer Zachary Alford, known for his work with David Bowie, Bruce Springsteen, the B-52s and Simi Stone.

ust last month, Maverick Concerts received an award for Excellence in Historic Preservation from the Preservation League of New York State for the recent renovations to the beloved rustic music chapel on the outskirts of Woodstock. So that’s all the more reason to add some visits to the oldest continuous professional summer chamber music festival in America to your social calendar. Music in the Woods launches its second century this Saturday, June 25 at 11 a.m. with the first of five Young People’s Concerts, this one featuring Elizabeth Mitchell & Family. Admission is free for all young people under age 16; adults pay $5 each. At 8 p.m. on Saturday, Actors & Writers will perform a reading of Laura Shaine Cunningham’s screenplay based on her acclaimed memoir Sleeping Arrangements, with admission by donation.

The first in Maverick’s regular series of Sunday-afternoon chamber music concerts happens on June 26 at 4 p.m., when the Escher String Quartet returns to the hall with a program of music by Beethoven, Bartók and Dvorák. Named after M. C. Escher, the Dutch graphic artist whose trippy manipulations of perspective adorned many a dorm-room wall back in the psychedelic ’60s, the New York City-based quartet first attracted attention in 2005 when Pinchas Zukerman and Itzhak Perlman invited them to be quartet-in-residence at their prestigious summer festivals. Since then, the Escher String Quartet has performed at the world’s most renowned chamber music festivals and concert halls, and earned praise for a growing body of recorded work. The ensemble currently serves as artists of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center.

Tickets for the Escher String Quartet this Sunday cost $45 for reserved seating, $25 general admission, $5 for students and are free for children under age 12.

There’s also pay-what-you-can, bring-your-own-blanket lawn seating. Tickets can be purchased by calling (800) 595-4849 or visiting www.maverickconcerts. org online.

The Maverick’s 101st season continues next weekend with the Arturo O’Farrill Quartet performing a Young People’s Concert on Saturday, July 2 at 11 a.m. and then returning at 8 p.m. to play Afro-Latin jazz as part of the Jazz at the Maverick series. On Sunday, July 3 at 4 p.m., pianist Ilya Yakushev fronts the Jupiter String Quartet playing chamber works of Beethoven, Ligeti, Schubert and Shostakovich.

The Shanghai, Danish, Borromeo, St. Lawrence, Enso and Pacifica quartets will round out the Maverick’s chamber music concert series, which runs right into September. On August 21, the Borromeo String Quartet will present the world premiere of Mountain Interval, a string quartet composed in honor of the Maverick’s centennial by Russell Platt. This summer there’ll also be three piano trio concerts, more jazz, more concerts for kids, a seven-concert mini-festivalwithin-the-festival titled “New Century, New Voices,” world music, a return visit from Actors & Writers featuring works by Mikhail Horowitz and David Smilow and more.

Maverick is located at 120 Maverick Road, one mile west of Route 375, just outside of Woodstock. A complete schedule for the 2016 season and additional information are available at www.maverickconcerts.org.

DAN BRUBECK QUARTET PLAYS ROSENDALE CAFÉ

L

egendary son and drummer Dan Brubeck has had his own varied, storied, innovative and prolific career in and around the jazz idioms, with a good deal of it having happened locally. Like his father, with whom he toured and Dan Brubeck recorded for years, Brubeck is a bit of a jazz iconoclast. Dave Brubeck stood apart from many jazz pianists because of his interest and training in serious music (studying, as did Burt Bacharach, under the great expat French composer Darius Milhaud).

Dan has stretched the definition of jazz in the same direction, often in the company of brother Chris and with such kindred spirits as the pianist Andy LaVerne in outfits like the Brubeck Brothers, and with the Woodstockcentric electro-fusion group the Dolphins. The Dolphins were populated by local jazz and fusion eminences such as guitarist Mike DeMicco, bassist Rob Leon and keyboardist and SUNY-New Paltz faulty member Vinnie Martucci.

On Saturday, June 25, the Rosendale CafÊ welcomes the Dan Brubeck Quartet, featuring Brubeck, Mike DeMicco on guitar, Tony Foster on piano and Adam Thomas on bass and vocals. Admission costs $25. For more information, visit http:// rosendalecafe.com. The Rosendale CafÊ is located at 434 Main Street in Rosendale. – John Burdick

While experiencing a melodic soundscape interwoven with the natural sounds of the Ridge, participants will perceive the changes and nuances of the sounds as they spiral up through the stone staircase to the Observation Deck, 60 feet above the ground.

The performance will happen on Saturday, June 25 from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. The concert is open to day visitors with the purchase of lunch or dinner. Wine and refreshments will be served.

Now known as Shadowland Stages as it expands to encompass a blackbox theater in a nearby building, Ellenville’s favorite Art Deco cultural nexus continues its 2016 season with a three-weekend run of John Logan’s drama Red, opening June 24 and running through July 10. Directed by James Glossman, Red stars Tom Teti as world-renowned Abstract Expressionist painter Mark Rothko and Alex Glossman as his assistant, known only as Ken. The two actors have big shoes to fill, considering that these roles were inaugurated in the original 2009 London production, along with its move to Broadway, by Alfred Molina and Eddie Redmayne. The latter won a Best Featured Actor Tony, and Red itself was named Best Play of 2010. Playwright Logan is a highly successful screenwriter, Oscarnominated for both Gladiator and The Aviator; among his many other movies are Sweeney Todd, Rango, Hugo, Skyfall and Spectre. He was also the creator and sole writer for the recently concluded Gothichorror TV series Penny Dreadful.

The new production represents the Hudson Valley premiere of Red, in which, according to Shadowland’s producing artistic director Brendan Burke, “we happily pull back the curtain on the creation of art, to see what motivates those of us in the arts, and to explore the

Staged reading of screenplay about Emily Dickinson in Rosendale

Emily Dickinson, c. 1847

The enigmatic introvert Emily Dickinson, whose poetry was said to be influenced by the Metaphysical poets of 17th-century England and who is known for her almost-reclusive existence, is the subject of a new screenplay, Wild Nights. Written by Stone Ridge filmmaker and director Robert Clem, the work is based on the true story of turmoil within the Dickinson family that eventually led to the posthumous publication of her poetry. In the 1880s, astronomer David Todd and his wife Mabel come to Amherst and become enmeshed in passion with members of the Dickinson family – specifically, Mabel has an adulterous affair with Emily’s brother, Austin.

This is a scandal on many levels, as it becomes known that both David and Emily have sanctioned the liaison, which leaves Sue Dickinson (Austin’s wife) out in the proverbial cold.

As part of the New Work Forum for Hudson Valley filmmakers, playwrights and artists, Clem will direct the premiere staged reading of Wild Nights at the Rosendale Theatre on Tuesday, June 28.

SHOW

PAULA POUNDSTONE AT BARDAVON THIS FRIDAY

I

f you’re a fan of NPR’s fast-paced, satirical news quiz show Wait, Wait‌Don’t Tell Me, you probably have your personal favorites among the rotating stable of regular panelists. And I probably wouldn’t lose any money if I bet on the quick-witted Paula Poundstone being among them. Though she has been in the comedy business full-time for 32 years and has told some of her stories hundreds of times, Poundstone’s schtik never seems less than fresh and off-the-cuff. There’s no particular gimmick, catchphrase or routine that paints her into a creative corner. Her live shows morph constantly and spontaneously, depending on the circumstances. “The audience is my friend,â€? says the comic. “I go to them for support, and they’re who sets the tone for the show.â€?

As Wait, Wait host Peter Sagal puts it, “Paula comes out onstage and she starts talking about her life, and then 20 minutes later you realize you’re in the middle of her comedy act and didn’t really know it.� It’s true, and what makes it all Paula Poundstone especially entertaining is how relatable she is. Though politically astute and always savvy about current events – in 1992 she covered the Presidential election live for The Tonight Show and became the first woman ever to host the White House Correspondents’ Dinner – Poundstone comes off as a regular gal with working-class problems like single motherhood and feisty opinions about the weirdness of modern American life and culture.

Besides being on seemingly perpetual tour doing standup, Poundstone has won a slew of awards with her comedy specials for cable TV, authored several books (including three comedic math texts for middle-schoolers), recorded audiobooks of her favorite jokes, done voiceovers for animated characters (including a cameo in Disney/Pixar’s Inside Out), delivered commentaries for CBS Sunday Morning, interviewed famous folks for Writers Bloc Presents and served as national spokesperson for the American Library Association’s United for Libraries program.

Fortunately for us in the mid-Hudson, Paula Poundstone also seems to like playing the Bardavon 1869 Opera House in Poughkeepsie. She’ll be back again this Friday, June 24 at 8 p.m. Come acquaint yourself in person with what the Boston Globe calls “one of comedy’s most nimble and disarming comic imaginations.� Ticket prices range from $42 to $77 and can be obtained from the Bardavon box office at 35 Market Street in Poughkeepsie, (845) 473-2072; the Ulster Performing Arts Center box office at 601 Broadway in Kingston, (845) 339-6088; or via Ticketmaster at (800) 745-3000. For more info, visit www.bardavon.org. – Frances Marion Platt

Working with a cast that includes Wayne Pyle, Molly Parker Myers, Ann Citron, Zach Gibson, Brett Owen, Davis Hall, David Little, Jessica Lyke and Janet Nurre, Clem hopes to get a sense of the theatrical viability of the work-in-progress. Staged readings usually give audience members the opportunity to respond to a play in its nascent form. “I’m not sure a screenplay is ever finished until it’s actually shot, because it is always evolving depending on who is in the cast – and also when some epiphany occurs in readings and rehearsals, as actors embody the characters that have been created on the page. I am fortunate to have a great cast to work with on June 28, so I am really excited by the process of rehearsing and then staging the reading.�

Both got their start at VA SSAR AND NE W YORK S TAGE AND FILM’S

See the next big thing.

June 24-July 31 / 845-437-5599 / powerhouse.vassar.edu

At the reading in Rosendale – which is free to the public – the audience will be invited to fill out a questionnaire about the reading and screenplay, and there will also be a question-and-answer session. Clem talks about what he’s looking for: “This will give me a good indication – the rule is if a number of people have the same criticism, it should be listened to – of how the piece works as a drama, whether the characters are engaging versus forgettable, whether the story and motivations are confusing at any point, whether it’s emotionally satisfying et cetera. The reading and audience response will help me decide whether the screenplay is ready to be made as a film.�

Clem previously directed the World War I film Company K, shot in the Hudson Valley, and the more recent Passion of Miss Augusta. He was involved in adapting and writing both of these screenplays, and says that before going ahead with filming, it’s important to make sure that the story structure works, then decide on a cinematic style that fits the story and enhances it. “I would say the story does not become something different when it’s made as a film; it’s just told in a different way than it is onstage, using the language of cinema but still relying on the actors and the dialogue to engage the audience.�

MOVIE

Ethan Hawke and Greta Gerwig in Maggie's Plan

Pickles on wry Maggie’s Plan is a neo -screwball success

O

nce in a while I fall suddenly, irrevocably head-over-heels for an actor who hasn’t made much of an impression previously, because he or she normally plays secondary or tertiary roles, but has finally been cast in a vehicle that truly lets him or her strut his or her stuff. That happened to me in 2013, when Greta Gerwig got to star in (and also co-wrote) Frances Ha. Before that, the only thing I’d seen Gerwig in was Woody Allen’s To Rome with Love, in which she played the slightlyless-pretty of two friends, soon shunted aside while the camera ogled the other.

But in Frances Ha, she was onscreen in nearly every scene, her willingness to risk seeming gawky and foolish and unlikable laid unflinchingly bare. At the beginning of the movie Gerwig irritated me; by the end, she had made another fan-for-life.

The actress has an uncanny gift for sounding more like a real person, for better or worse, than most anyone on the big screen these days. That talent is the source of about half of the screwball energy that propels Maggie’s Plan, Rebecca Miller’s new sweet-and-sour rom/com that has been playing Upstate Films Rhinebeck this past week and moves to Upstate Films Woodstock on Friday. The rest of the oomph comes from a solid script with an edgy Gen-Y sense of humor, lots of terrific New York City locations and a supporting cast that is just about perfect.

Gerwig’s title character is a

writer of fiction to support his wife’s career. Before too long (and not too long after she applies the turkey-baster), she and John end up in bed together. Maggie gets pregnant, John moves in with her and divorces Georgette.

Jump a couple of years down the road, to discover (unsurprisingly) that Maggie is a brilliant mother to adorable toddler Lily (Ida Rohatyn), and that John’s novel keeps getting longer and longer but seems to be going nowhere. Worse, Georgette continues to depend on him heavily, and he hasn’t the spine to say no to her endless phone calls and sudden changes of plan.

Maggie finds herself falling out of love around the same time that she discovers that she and Georgette like each other, as different as they are. A plan begins to form in her mind: Can she manipulate the former couple into getting back together?

On one level, it’s a terribly cynical story that, one imagines, could only have been made into a movie in the 21st century; on another, there’s something classically ’30s about the whole setup. And like a classic screwball comedy, Maggie’s Plan relies on a fabulous cast of quirky allies, obstacles and enablers – most notably Bill Hader and Maya Rudolph as Maggie’s two best friends, an ever-sparring-but-ultimatelydevoted married couple. (There’s also a choice cameo from Wallace Shawn as an

academic.) While the role of John is a bit thankless, much resembling Hawke’s turn as the feckless, mostly absent dad in Boyhood, he manages to convey the character’s charm along with his weaknesses. And Moore, so tragic as a woman with early-onset Alzheimer’s in Still Alice, gets to ply her considerable comedic craft with many a perfectlytweezed arched eyebrow here. Even while working in a creditable Danish accent, she manages to steal a scene or two from the ever-splendid, ever-dorky Gerwig.

Maggie’s Plan is a very funny movie with plenty of darker subtext about human frailties, about controllers and enablers and the lies that we tell ourselves. It’s also an unsparing look at the way that modern folks have to redefine and deconstruct intimate relationships in ways that don’t always conform to romantic clichÊs. Oh yes – and it’s about how, sometimes, it’s okay just to let things happen instead of making things happen. Maggie finds out, and so will you. – Frances Marion Platt Maggie's Plan is playing at Upstate Films Woodstock from June 24 until June 30. For more information, visit http://upstatefilms.org.

ORPHEUM The

30-something professor at the New School who, like many kids who had to grow up too early, is hypercompetent, overpractical and utterly incapable of tolerating uncertainties. She’s a coper and a planner and a hair short of being a control freak. So, with a history of short, failed romantic relationships behind her, she decides to get pregnant by artificial insemination rather than wait for the perfect marriage to strike. Her sperm donor of choice is her old college pal Guy (Travis Fimmel), a math prodigy who gave up a potentially brilliant academic career to become a “pickle entrepreneur� (a joke on contemporary niche foodie marketing that may also be a shout-out to Joan Micklin Silver’s similarly wry 1988 rom/com Crossing Delancey, whose Mr. Right was a picklemaker).

But while Maggie has been planning the perfect timing for conception, she has also been drawn into an intellectual friendship with a somewhat older New School adjunct, John (Ethan Hawke), who is unhappily married to a much more successful Columbia University professor, Georgette (Julianne Moore). Maggie oohs and aahs over John’s novel-in-progress and listens sympathetically to his tales of how chilly-but-needy Georgette constantly saddles him with the kids, how he has to sacrifice his dreams of becoming a great

Art in the industrial cathedral Site-specific exhibition opens this Sunday at Rosendale’s Snyder Estate & Widow Jane Mine

“W

hen we chose our artists, we were pretty intentional about wanting people who were not just going to bring different work to the site, but would invite people to experience it in different ways,� says Jenny Lee Fowler, co-curator of “In:Site,� this summer’s outdoor site-specific art exhibition on the grounds of the Snyder Estate in Rosendale. The work on display by 15 artists from the Hudson Valley and other parts of the Northeast was created specifically in response to the unique location, home to the Widow Jane Mine and Century House Historical Society’s museum inside the former home of cement baron A. J. Snyder. The concept of the exhibition is to invite new or deeper reflections on the site’s natural environment and its connection to Rosendale’s industrial history.

Vast supplies of the limestone deposits unearthed in the region were used to create natural cement that formed some of the most recognizable structures in the country, including the United States Capitol, Grand Central Terminal, the Brooklyn Bridge and the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty. But when natural cement was replaced by the use of newer materials, the mines were abandoned, leaving behind huge excavated spaces that suggest underground “cathedrals,� with huge limestone pillar formations holding up the mine roofs. The miners who once worked in the Widow Jane Mine would probably be amazed to learn that today the site is used as a place to host concerts and performances (with wonderful acoustics) and cultural events. “It’s been exciting to hear the artists’ proposals for bringing their process to play in this space,� says Fowler. “We have floating islands, soot drawings on

Jessica Poser's pieces (above left) are hand-stitched screen-and-tulle portraits of miners and cement girls. Bruce Hooke's photos (top right) will be displayed in weather-proof casings deep along the trail so that the image in the photo lines up with the space where it was taken with him in it. Most of the installation will remain on view through September 10, but a few of the pieces will make an appearance only during the opening (and closing) dates, including Jenny Lee Fowler’s piece in the mine involving shadow, light and artful papercutting. Natasha Maria Brooks-Sperduti will also present a movement performance for the opening in collaboration with local dancer Teresa Smith. Kingston-based writer and poet Dorothy Albertini will do a reading of her work.

rocks, textile banners that hang in old kilns and dances that can be watched in light or shadow through the windows of the mine. And each place offers different opportunities: the abandoned mining cave with massive, roughly carved pillars and an eerie and tranquil lake, forest trails with rocky ridges, industrial stone ruins, pockets of open field and a meandering stream that spills into a pond.�

Visitors to “In:Site� will find the artworks dispersed throughout the woodland trails on the estate grounds, with a few pieces installed in the dark corners of the mine. The show opens on Sunday, June 26 from 1 to 4 p.m. Most of the installation will remain on view through September 10 – seven days a week, from sunrise to sunset – but a few of the

pieces that are more ephemeral in nature will make an appearance only during the opening (and closing) dates, including Fowler’s piece in the mine involving shadow, light and artful papercutting.

The show’s co-curator, Natasha Maria Brooks-Sperduti, will present a movement performance for the opening in collaboration with local dancer Teresa Smith. Kingston-based writer and poet Dorothy Albertini will do a reading of her work.

Admission to the opening and ongoing exhibit and grounds is free.

The Century House Historical Society’s museum is open for self-guided tours through mid-September on Sundays only from 1 to 4 p.m. Entrance is by a suggested donation of $5 for adults, $1 for children. The collection includes cement industry artifacts and interpretive materials about Rosendale history, as well as the Snyder Carriage and Sleigh Collection.

The curatorial collaboration on “In:Site� came about when Brooks-

Sperduti saw the open call for curators from the Century House Historical Society. She contacted former Bard classmate Fowler about working together on the summerlong project, and the two came up with the concept for the show, deciding to include artists that the Port Ewen-based Fowler knew here as well as artists from Rhode Island and Massachusetts. (BrooksSperduti currently lives in the Berkshires at Earthdance, an artist-run community that sponsors dance retreats, residencies and workshops.) “We felt like we wanted a wider pull of artists, so that we have that local spark and also something different that people around here may not have seen before,� Fowler says. “That was part of the fun of working together on this. And the artists from out of the area have been great about traveling to the site and working with it.�

The local artists participating in “In:Site� include mixed-media artists Jayla Smith, Neal Hollinger, Lyle Bicking, Jeffrey Benjamin and Jessica Poser (the latter contributing hand-stitched screen and tulle portraits of miners and “the cement girls�) along with arts writer Beth Wilson of Habitat for Artists, basketry and natural materials artist Katie Grove, wood and ceramic artisan Kieran Kinsella and multimedia artist Keiko Sono, whose soot drawings in the exhibition are made using materials from the site.

Traveling contributors include Kelli Rae Adams of Providence, Rhode Island, who will install a clay work, and Sam Coren, also Providence-based, who is a writer, historian and artist. And photographs by Bruce Hooke of Plainfield, Massachusetts will be displayed in weatherproof casings along the trail in a way that the image in the photo lines up with the space where it was taken (with him in it).

Brooks-Sperduti uses materials and experiences from nature to make sitespecific art installations and dances.

She teaches yoga, embodiment and mindfulness, and has been producing professional and community arts events for nearly 15 years, contributing locally to Rhinebeck’s Sinterklaas Parade.

Papercutter extraordinaire Jenny Lee Fowler’s art is rooted in historic process, linked to the natural world by content and materials, including her use of cut bark and leaves. She specializes in papercutting commissions, illustration, exhibition, traditional freehand silhouette portrait cutting for special events and art and craft instruction.

The exhibition was made possible with funds from the Decentralization Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts, administered by Arts Mid-Hudson.

This is the third annual site-specific outdoor exhibition at the Snyder Estate sponsored by the Century House Historical Society (CHHS). The first show on the grounds was in 2014 with “Miners,� curated by artist and CHHS trustee Laura Moriarty. Last year’s curator for “Excavate,� Laura Johansen, took a broad view of interpreting the theme of excavation. The shows encourage visitors at the site, say board members, not only to “enjoy the unique property for its natural wonders, but to look at contemporary

works of art that mine the historical relevance of the site.�

The Century House board’s interest in hosting cultural events at the site “is a direct result, I think, of the number of artists and musicians who have stepped up on the board there,� says Fowler, “which is great to see. It’s lovely that you have this rich industrial history, this natural environment and this cultural life all together: different strands of interests that can happen there and bring people in and get them excited to have an experience there.�  – Sharyn Flanagan “In:Site� sculptural installation opening, Sunday, June 26, 1-4 p.m., free, Widow Jane Mine/Snyder Estate/Century House Historical Society, 668 Route 213, Rosendale; (845) 658-9900, www.centuryhouse.org, www.insiterosendale.com.

“Campsite� opens on Saturday at Dorsky Museum in New Paltz Corinna Ripps Schaming, associate director and curator at the University at Albany Art Museum, has organized more than 80 exhibitions there over the past 15 years, as well as curating at other venues including the Boulevard Project Space in Albany, which she founded and directed for three years. She now focuses her expertise at the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art at SUNY-New Paltz with the opening of “Campsite,� the 2016 edition of the museum’s annual Hudson Valley Artists series, presenting new works by 14 artists from the region.

Drawing inspiration from the traditions, rituals and aesthetics associated with the region’s rich history of summer camps, the exhibition includes works in a number of artistic disciplines and media, including performance, textiles, painting, drawing, installation, video and photography. The theme is meant to suggest all the ways summer camp impacts the experiences and the memories of anyone who has had the pleasure: From tentgrounds to sleepaway camps to pleasure resorts, such getaways conjure up the promise of new adventures, diversions, libidinal pursuits and unfettered experimentation. Summer camp can be an escape, a state of mind or a metaphor by which to confront the emotional longings and dislocations of daily life.

The 14 participating artists, selected from over 170 submissions, are Jessica Baker, Black Lake (Susan Jennings and Slink Moss), Elizabeth Ennis, Tara Fracalossi, Chris Freeman, Laura Kaufman, Thomas Lail, Meg Lipke,

Michael Covello Odalla, Ruby Palmer, Jeff Starr, Amy Taluto, Katharine Umsted and Chris Victor. For the seventh year, the Hudson Valley Artists’ Annual Purchase Award of $3,000, made possible through the Alice and Horace Chandler Art Acquisition Fund, will be used to acquire one or more artworks from the exhibition for the museum’s permanent collection.

One of the largest museums within the SUNY system, the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art at SUNY-New Paltz supports and enriches academic programs at the College, presents a broad range of world art for study and enjoyment and serves as a center for Hudson Valley arts and culture. Check out the six galleries with more than 9,000 square feet of exhibition space. Museum hours are Wednesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.; the museum is closed on Mondays, Tuesdays, holidays and during college intersessions. “Campsite� will run now through Sunday, November 13 in the Dorsky Museum’s Alice and Horace Chandler and North Galleries. A public opening reception will be held at the museum on Saturday, June 25 from 5 to 7 p.m., and will be preceded by a live music and video performance by Black Lake, beginning at 4 p.m. – Ann Hutton “Campsite: Hudson Valley Artists 2016� opening reception, Saturday June 25, 5-7 p.m., Samuel Dorsky Museum, 1 Hawk Drive, New Paltz; (8450z 257-3844, www.newpaltz.edu/museum.

Woodstock Byrdcliffe Guild House Tour this Saturday If you’ve ever wondered how the eclectic and taste-setting residents of Woodstock live, here's your chance to peek into their homes. The eighth annual Woodstock House Tour, hosted and benefiting the Woodstock Byrdcliffe Guild, is set for this Saturday. On June 25, ticketholders can experience the architecture, interiors and art collections of local residents whose homes mirror the unique tone and tranquility of the Catskills.

Compelling spaces and equally intriguing dÊcor are reminders that Woodstock – as much today as in the days of the burgeoning Woodstock Art Colony – attracts people with its beauty; and those people create beauty in turn.

The House Tour reflects on how style and design savvy are not exclusive to city life.

June 23-30 G o fish for free, design a cookie, ride a steamboat or dig for diamonds Herkimer Diamond Mines Do you have any Minecrafter gamers at home? How about a budding gemologist? If you’ve got young people from preschool age through teen and beyond who can wield a hammer and chisel, then I highly recommend checking out the Herkimer Diamond Mines for a real hands-on mining experience. My kids love this opportunity to be real prospectors!

Mining is simple, but it is hard work: You pound rocks to get at the Herkimer diamonds that you hope are embedded inside. Sometimes the gems are partially exposed; other times you try a rock that’s pocketed with potentially promising diamond-containing divots. The stones and the hammers themselves are heavy, and the terrain is rough to walk and sit on, but my kids find mining to be satisfying work, albeit tiring.

Safety goggles are required, which you can bring from home or purchase during admission, and you need a hammer, whether it’s the provided rock hammer or your own mason or concrete hammer from home (not carpentry hammers). I also recommend bringing chisels, wedges and crowbars, as well as five-gallon buckets to carry your haul, since you get to keep everything that you find in the mine.

Personally, I find the hammering too loud and jarring for my taste, so I locate all of my gems by sifting silt in the mine’s tiny water areas.

When your crew is ready for a break, you can eat on-site with your own lunch, order simple fast food at the mine’s Rock ‘n’ Rolls Café or try the Miner’s Table restaurant just across the parking lot next door. The souvenir shop has plenty of tempting Herkimer diamond jewelry pieces, as well as other gems, and the small museum area upstairs highlights interesting displays and information through educational learning stations, including facts about

Free Fishing Days anywhere in NYS

A

ccording to American author John Gierach, “The solution to any problem – work, love, money, whatever – is to go fishing, and the bigger the problem, the longer the trip should be.” Round up your problems, because you and anyone you like can fish New York State’s fresh or marine waters this Saturday and Sunday, June 25 and 26 during New York State’s Free Fishing Days. This makes it a great weekend to introduce your kids to fishing, or to head out with grandparents or friends, or just take a break from it all and head out solo.

No fishing license or recreational marine fishing registry is required, and if you’re a planner, perhaps you’d like to organize some problems to solve during the next Free Fishing Day on November 11. For more information, visit www. dec.ny.gov/outdoor/89821.html.

Herkimer diamonds: Did you know that their 7.5 hardness level makes them harder than amethyst or citrine?

A visit can be made to the Herkimer Diamond Mines as a day trip, but I prefer the relaxed pace and additional fun of an overnight at the KOA campground right across the street: The swimming pool there is a perfect way to end a day of mining! Admission to the Herkimer Diamond Mines costs $12 for ages 13 and up, $10 for ages 5 to 12 and is free for children aged 4 and under. Sluicing bags incur an additional fee and make a terrific option for younger children to discover their own treasures. You can also create custom jewelry with the Herkimer diamonds that you find: I’ve made necklaces and earrings with my 500,000,000-year-old gems.

The Herkimer Diamond Mines are located at 4626 State Route 28 North in Herkimer.

The Hawthorne Valley Farm Store is open seven days a week from 7:30 a.m. to 7 p.m.

The self-guided tour around the Association’s 500-acre working farm invites visitors to poke their heads into the barn, visit the pigs, stroll through the Corner Garden, visit the Creek, hike Phudd Hill. The tour guide brochure is available near the Farm Store’s checkout counter.

A live culture Hawthorne Valley Farm Store in Ghent is not just about yogurt anymore

V

isitors to the Hawthorne Valley Association can be forgiven their confusion when first visiting the place. It’s a farm, a school, a theater. It’s a funkylooking, beautifully maintained mystery buried deep in the quietude of the Town of Ghent in Columbia County.

This was my second visit to the 44-yearold establishment. I’d first come upon its farm store some 25 years ago. I’d gone there in search of what Hawthorne Valley was then best-known for: its “biodynamic” yogurt. This was at a time when the forces of entrepreneurial capitalism had yet fully to discover and exploit the market for all things whole and pure and untouched by all things chemical and processed.

The founder of the biodynamic approach to agriculture was Rudolf Steiner, a philosopher and scientist who developed an encompassing “spiritual/ scientific” approach to living that he called anthroposophy. You’ll have to look elsewhere for a summary of Steiner’s vast philosophical theories and various innovations; let’s stick with his yogurt and the reason I pursued it through icy February roads back when: The stuff tasted good. It tasted fresh. Creamy. You didn’t need jellied fruit at the bottom or

anywhere else to want to wolf it down. I didn’t need any philosophical sweetener to enjoy the stuff. I was a middle-aged seeker after the best yogurt that I’d ever tasted, and that was enough for me.

What I remember of the place where I bought the yogurt was a bedraggled building (a converted barn?) that offered little shelter from the miserable weather outside its walls. No matter. Back then, authenticity was all, and nothing said authenticity like the leaky boat that was that early version of Hawthorne Valley’s farm store.

Fast-forward to the present: The current version of the Association’s farm store is to the old shop that I remember as Whole Foods is to your favorite gas station’s sub shop. It’s still possible to find and buy all the biodynamic yogurt that you can afford, but you’ll first have to navigate past the most seductively fragrant steam table within a 100-mile radius. The store contains every conceivable sort of organic, whole-wheatful, gluten-free, non-GMO foodstuff you can imagine. It’s clean and welcoming and has an air of success about it: entrepreneurial capitalism at its finest.

After I and my wife and daughter and our baby grandson loaded up at the steam table, ate our lunch and spent

several minutes being sure that we’d filed the correct biodegradable item in the appropriate recycling slot, I grabbed a glossy “self-guided walking tour,” intent on trying to get a handle on what exactly I’d write about such a diverse place. So I asked the first couple of people I saw why they were there and what they felt about Hawthorne Valley.

It turned out that I’d asked the right person. He said that his name was Martin Ping. He said that he’d come to the Waldorf School as a parent in the early ’80s. He’d then taught at the school for about 20 years. He managed the campus’s buildings and grounds and project management until more recently, when he’d assumed the title of executive director. I said that I hardly knew where to start.

“We have a very diverse association of activities, from education to research to agriculture, from wholesale to retail,” he said. “The dynamic relationships spur creativity.” Those relationships, he added are almost inherently in conflict – “retail and pedagogical, for example, all at different speeds.”

I wondered how he managed to juggle those demands and navigate the difficulties that must arise in the face of those conflicts. My own experience in

Hawthorne Valley Association executive director Martin Ping

alternative education had shown me the difficulties not only of getting anything done, but of doing so with people’s cooperation and understanding.

Ping nodded and said that the constant question facing the Association was, “How do we get along with each other? How do we meet and figure out a new way to do it?” It’s never easy, he said. “You’ve got 200 people, everyone’s passionate about something, and everyone’s right all the time.” The effort needs renewal every day, he said, “by being present to each other.”

“Learning how to be present to each other, to listen: These are the skills we develop here,” he said. That effort, he said, is the means by which the people who have made Hawthorne Valley survive and thrive through its 44 years – moving as it has from a scrappy alternative outlet

PLACE

MARLBORO’S FALCON LAUNCHES NEW “UNDERGROUND” PUB DOWNSTAIRS

C

an you say “indefatigable”? Neither can I. But that’s what Tony Falco is: tireless.

The creator and owner of the Falcon in Marlboro, one of the finest, most innovative music venues in the mid-Hudson region, has made a near-perfect music concept better still with the addition of another venue embedded in the Falcon’s existing nest. It’s called the Falcon Underground, and it enlarges on themes and practices that have made the Falcon such an exemplary place for enjoying live music – and good food.

Shame on you if you’ve never been there during its seven-year existence. The building is a former 19th-century button factory that’s perched alongside Marlboro Falls, a stunning geological gift to the patrons who love to lounge on the Falcon’s outdoor patios and watch the world rush by.

The Underground has been a while in the making; until recently, it was little more than a storage area with lousy acoustics.

The came the doors: 115 of them, rescued from Zaborsky’s Emporium in Kingston and installed on the room’s ceiling below a sophisticated acoustic system designed by John Storyk, who designed Jimi Hendrix’s Electric Lady Studios.

Better even than the ceiling are the walls, where the Avalon Archives Museum of Roots, Rock & Roll has been permanently installed. The loving labor of founder, director and curator Ned Moran, the archives feature rare and obscure photos, posters, album covers, books and recordings that are guaranteed to send anyone with the slightest acquaintance with American music into a swoon. (The thousands of albums along one wall will be available for headphoned listening as soon as the turntables arrive.)

Falco has never veered from his early commitment not only to top-drawer musical presentations, but also to local talent, be it well- or barely known. So it comes as no surprise that the Falcon Underground food-and-beverage menu is all-New York, all of the time.

The Deco-style bar was rescued from Marlboro’s venerable 40 Western tavern. Only New York beer, wine and spirits are served on it. And, even though the Falcon already has a first-class kitchen upstairs at its main stage, the Underground will have its own kitchen that will serve up gastropub fare using local produce wherever possible, with a $12 per entrée limit.

And then there’s the music. Every Wednesday of the month will have a different performance theme, ranging from an openmic session to an evening of jazz to roots and rock night and finally a night of poetry. Each night will be hosted by men and women who know whereof they speak and perform.

If there’s a musical base that Falco hasn’t touched yet, it remains to be seen. And when it is, count on him to touch it and make it sing.

The Falcon’s “pub beneath the club” at 1348 Route 9W in Marlboro is open on Wednesday as well as Friday through Sunday.

Check the club’s website, www.liveatthefalcon.com, for the performance schedule and further information.

When Smorgasburg Upstate opens on the ten-acre waterfront property, it “will feature some of the Hudson Valley and upstate region’s most exciting chefs, food purveyors and craft brewers alongside a curated selection of handmade design, vintage clothing and antiques,” according to its organizers. In addition to the upstate options, there will also be a few Brooklyn food vendors, like Lumpia Shack, which serves what it calls “Filipino-inspired spring rolls,” and the culinary curiosity Ramen Burger, which sandwiches its burger patties between buns made of ramen noodles.

But, says Jonathan Butler, he anticipates that the Kingston location will be “95 percent upstate vendors.” Butler is keeping mum about the list for now, with Smorgasburg Upstate planning to release the names gradually on its Instagram in the weeks leading up to the market’s opening. He did reveal, however, that visitors can expect approximately 75 vendors at the market, and that it is still accepting applications.

Butler says that Brooklyn’s Smorgasburg founders had been “thinking about doing something upstate” when Karl Slovin of California-based MWest Holdings approached them about starting a market at the site of the old brickyards.

The location was ideal, because, as Butler says, “Kingston is very central,” noting that it is within 45 minutes of most other upstate hubs. Butler adds that the “beautiful” buildings and structures that remain on the property were another factor in Smorgasburg’s decision to open a market there. “The time was right to create something of a hub for food and handmade [goods],” says Butler. He anticipates the market being “both a showcase for all the great food up there and a big family-friendly weekly event.”

Before that can happen, however, there’s a lot of work that needs to be done. The market was originally expected to open in June, but the opening has been pushed to August while the team takes measures to ensure the safety and functionality of the space. Though the renovations are taking longer than anticipated, Smorgasburg and its partners certainly haven’t lost any enthusiasm for the project. “An adaptive reuse project on the Hudson River was exciting to us,” says Butler. He values the property’s unique location as well. When the work is done, visitors will be able to enjoy their food in a scenic spot a mere ten feet from the Hudson River.

G

, as I’ll refer to him, has a blank canvas: about ten acres of mostly open field. His vision is, essentially, for a Garden of Eden, with fruit trees, bushes and vines, vegetables, nut trees and flowers.

Before he even thought about digging his first planting hole, I suggested that he learn something about the soil beneath his blank canvas.

Your and my tax dollars have contributed to a most useful soil resource for G (and you and me): the Web Soil Survey, put out by the Natural Resource Conservation Service of the US Department of Agriculture. This survey provides soils maps of more than 95 percent of the counties in the US, each

map delineating what lurks beneath the surface.

Soils are distinctive – as different from one another as robins are from bluejays. These differences are harder to appreciate, of course, because soil is mostly underground, hidden from view.

But if you were to dig some holes a few feet deep and then look carefully at their inside surfaces, you would find that soils are made up of layers of varying thicknesses, called horizons. And one soil might differ from the next not only in the thicknesses of its various horizons, but also in just how the various horizons look and feel.

There might be horizons as white as chalk, as red as rust or as dark-brown as chocolate. A horizon might be cement-

And if you were to tease the dirt along one edge of the hole so that it falls away naturally – wow! – each horizon would reveal its particles clumped together in such arrangements as plates, blocks or prisms. Such information and more have allowed soils to be classified, much as birds, flowers and living things are.

Armed with this information, G can know what will thrive in his future paradise and what might need to be done the better to accommodate what he wants to grow.

ferent from those trees now ripening their fruit practically every few hundred feet around here.

For one thing, this mulberry comes from western Asia – Islamabad, Pakistan – so is

not cold-hardy here in New York’s Hudson Valley. Hence the pot, in which the plant resides during winter in my basement, along with figs, pomegranates and other subtropicals.

The hardy mulberry trees that pop up here and there throughout most cold regions of the US include Asian white mulberries (Morus alba) and our native red mulberries (M. rubra) and their

June 23, 2016 natural hybrids. Note that fruit color has nothing to do with the species. White mulberry is a very variable species, in hardiness, fruit color and flavor – even leaf shape.

Pakistan mulberry is also unique for the size of the berries. Each is a couple of inches long. In warmer climates, the berry can elongate to over three inches.

I wouldn’t trouble myself with a potted fruit tree just because it’s exotic and large-fruited; the flavor makes the effort worthwhile. They have a heavenly flavor, among the most delicious of all mulberries, on a par with the world’s best fruits: a rich berry flavor fronting a congenial background of sweetness offset with just the right amount of tartness.

Pakistan is sometimes listed as a variety of white mulberry; other times as a variety of yet another mulberry species, M. macroura. Outdoors, it can grow to 60 feet. In my Garden of Eden, the potted tree will be restrained to five or six feet.

Come visit my farmden and other gardens on Saturday, June 25. These gardens – two in Ulster County and one in Dutchess County – are open to the public as part of the Garden Conservancy’s Open Days program.

acre property within a 1950s (IBM-era) suburban community, the garden grounds are dominated by mature-growth trees. A perennial shade garden was created and cultivated over 18 seasons of weekend gardening. The assembled collection of plants, spread throughout numerous beds and manmade berms, relies heavily on juxtapositions of color, texture and form to bring interest and natural beauty to the garden. Visitors can see a collection of more than 105 different hosta cultivars, numbering more than 214 specimens, all labeled for ease of identification.

VanderHamm will host a pop-up plant sale in conjunction with Adams Fairacre Farms, including some of the same plants grown at Dappled Berms.

In Columbia County, five private gardens are open to visit, including Rabbit Hill in Craryville, where many species and varieties of decorative understory trees, shrubs, shade perennials and groundcovers can be seen by strolling on a network of stone paths that interlace the woodland grove.

NIGHT SKY

Is Earth flat?

Answers to old questions

I

just got back from the Wanderlust Festival in Vermont. My company, Slooh, wants to expand our audience. They thought it would be a great idea to do a Solstice and Full Moon program during a big yoga-type gathering.

I was skeptical, but I’d worried for nothing. The people were great, we got nice crowds for both our shows and it was an interesting format. I’d speak and do demos for ten minutes and then my partner would have a similar turn, leading meditations, chanting, sun salutations and the like. We kept switching off and, oddly enough, it went over well.

But a strange thing happened the moment we arrived. One of the staffers, a woman in her 40s, said, “You’re an astronomer? Have you heard? The Earth is actually flat! We’ve been lied to all these years!” Turns out there’s a growing interest in web documentaries that make the case for a flat Earth.

It made me wonder how to answer a person like her, convinced that the astronauts were all lying. Skepticism is a healthy thing. What if we didn’t have space probes that send us photographs of Earth? How could people know for sure?

Thanks to modern instantaneous global communication, I told her, you can settle this matter yourself. The next time you watch a sunset, phone a friend who lives to the east of you, or someone in a city to your west. Ask them where the sun appears in their sky. If Earth were flat, everyone would see the Sun setting at the same moment. But what you’ll actually find is that a friend living far enough east of you will report that it’s nighttime. A person well to your west is located around Earth’s curve and will report that the Sun is now fairly high in the sky. Case closed.

She looked at me blankly, so I continued: “Alternatively, you can use the logic of the ancient Greeks. Whenever the Full Moon ventures into the place in the sky that is opposite the Sun, which is where our planet’s shadow must lie, it goes into eclipse without fail. The shape of our shadow is always round. And while a disk or dish might also throw a round shadow, it would only do so when oriented perpendicular to the Sun. Most times the shadow would be oval. It could even be a straight black line. Instead, it’s round. And only a ball always throws a round shadow.”

She still seemed unconvinced. And after the long drive in silence, I was enjoying being pedantic. So I continued: “Yet another method is when you’re at the beach, notice that you only view the very tops of distant ships. Binoculars really help with this. You can clearly see that the ships’ bottoms are hidden by Earth’s curve.”

I recalled the math, which is amazing. When sitting on a beach chair with your eyes

The next time you watch a sunset, phone a friend who lives to the east of you, or someone in a city to your west. Ask them where the sun appears in their sky.

four feet above the sea, the horizon is just one-and-a-quarter miles away!

I remembered swimming in a large lake and holding my breath while lowering my head like a crocodile until my eyes were just inches above the surface. Sure enough, the far shore vanished. It was so cool. Even a lake is not flat! Its middle is curved higher than the shores, so it blocks out the other side if your eyes are low enough.

With all this, people should have realized Earth’s true shape millennia ago. Why did the wrong idea persist for so long? Why didn’t a “round Earth” appear in ancient texts like Homer’s Odyssey and the Bible?

Maybe you’re wondering what her reaction was to all this. She said, “I think I’ll watch that documentary again.” In other words, I had only confused her.

I am trying to learn “acceptance”: to feel okay that for many in our culture, science holds no attraction.

FDR Library to celebrate 75th anniversary, open Pearl Harbor exhibit When construction began back in 1939 on America’s first Presidential Library, our nation and our president were still resisting involvement in the conflicts raging in Europe and Southeast Asia. But for America and the world, everything changed drastically over the following two years. 1941 was a pivotal year: Bookended by President Roosevelt’s “Four Freedoms” speech in January and the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in December, the time had come for us to stand against totalitarianism and enter the fray.

In the interim and far from the battle, the new Library in Hyde Park was completed. The president had created a national treasure, one that he gave to the people of the US to be run by the National

Archives and Records Administration.

Designed by FDR and dedicated on June 30, 1941, the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum opened its doors. Making the papers of his presidency public documents in this way was an unprecedented act. Since that time, every president has followed his example and established a Presidential Library to preserve and make accessible to the American people the records of their presidencies.

With the mission to foster a deeper understanding of the lives and times of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt and of their continuing impact on contemporary life, the Library maintains archives and a research room, manages the museum collections and exhibitions and offers innovative educational programs and engaging public programming. Over the past 75 years, more than 13 million people have walked through the Library’s front doors and enjoyed its research facilities, exhibits, education programs and public events. If you haven’t availed yourself of the opportunity to visit this national treasure, next weekend would be a great time to do so.

To commemorate the anniversary, the Library will open a new special exhibition on Pearl Harbor, titled “Day of Infamy: 24 Hours that Changed History,” in the vanden Heuvel Gallery. Highlighting behind-the-scenes meetings between FDR and his advisors, “Day of Infamy” touches on the shock caused by Japan’s surprise attack, instantly forcing the US into World War II. The account begins on December 7, 1941 and ends 24 hours later when the president delivered his famous address to a joint session of Congress and signed the declaration of war with Japan.

The exhibit includes one of the most fabled and treasured items in the Library’s vast collections: FDR’s hand-amended first draft of his “Day of Infamy” speech, a document that is rarely placed on public display and will likely not be on view again for a decade. The exhibit also features dramatic audiovisual programs, including film of the Pearl Harbor attack, a series of interactive touchscreens that provide visitors with updates on the evolving military situation in the Pacific and audio stations where visitors can access first-person testimony (found in oral histories, diary entries and memoirs) from key individuals who were with FDR on December 7.

The exhibit runs through December 31.

A series of free public events is planned to thank the community and the visiting public for seven-and-a-half decades of support. On Thursday morning, June 30, ceremonial remarks will be offered by historian and author Michael Beschloss to kick things off. The new Pearl Harbor exhibition opens at 12 noon. At 2 p.m., a panel discussion will delve into “A History of the Roosevelt Library.”

On Friday, July 1, visitors can sit in on a book talk, as author William E. Leuchtenburg discusses his book, The American President: From Teddy Roosevelt to Bill Clinton, at 3 p.m. Later that evening, there will be a theatrical performance titled In Their Own Words: The Roosevelts.

Saturday, July 2, is geared to entertain all ages with a Family Fun Festival on the Lawn, featuring a circus, World War II music and food trucks to maintain stamina. Two repeat performances of In Their Own Words: The Roosevelts will be held: one at 4 p.m. and one at 7 p.m.

All 75th Anniversary special events are free to the public; admission to the Library and Museum, including the special exhibition, is also free of charge on Thursday and Saturday. Check the website for further information.

OPENING

TEACHERS ON DISPLAY “Instructors’ Exhibition” at Woodstock School of Art allows prospective students to get a taste of the atelier

T

he Woodstock School of Art (WSA) will host an opening reception on Saturday, June 25 from 3 to 5 p.m. for its “Instructors’ Exhibition.”

The group show featuring one or two works by more than 30 of the artists who teach at the school will remain on view through October 8 in the Robert H. Angeloch Gallery, named for the late Woodstock artist and DION OGUST | ALMANAC WEEKLY WSA co-founder.

“Our instructors are our most Woodstock School of Art executive director Christopher Seubert valuable resource, so we like to showcase their work,” says WSA executive director Christopher Seubert. “And the annual exhibition is a great way for people to see who they might want to study with in the future. The majority of the artists try to make it to the opening and are more than happy to talk with community members or potential students about technique or what their class is like.”

The independent, nonprofit school is run in the atelier tradition. Instructors are all working artists given complete autonomy to implement their own teaching methods in the studios. The atelier method, based on the 19th-century French system of teaching art, is advantageous for artistic growth, as technical skills are cultivated in an artistically committed atmosphere.

There is no prescribed curriculum at WSA or degrees conferred, and students of all ages are admitted with no entrance requirements, free to choose instructors who best suit their personal goals.

In seeking out an art instructor, it’s a good idea to choose a teacher whose personal style is compatible with one’s own. And there should be something about their work that really resonates with the student, because while the intention is never to learn how to copy the teacher’s style, there’s no point in studying with a portraitist, for example, who layers paint in thick layers of impasto when one is drawn to paint transparent watercolor landscapes.

The “Dollar Days” event next month on Sunday, July 17 will offer an additional opportunity to meet the WSA artists and preview their classes and workshops. A selection of the school’s instructors will offer brief demonstrations – an hour to an hour-and-a-half in duration – at a cost of $1 per demo, previewing what someone will experience if taking their class. Some of the instructors will prepare an interactive project for the session, with others offering a demonstration followed by a questionand-answer session; it’ll be left up to the individual instructor, says Seubert. “It’ll be very engaging and a great opportunity for potential students to see if the class or workshop is right for them. Sometimes you can just tell right away if something is a good fit.”

The $1 fee is just to formalize things, with preregistration strongly suggested. “We expect this to be a high-volume day for us, with a high turnout,” says Seubert. “There will be demos going on all day in all of our studios, so we want to make sure we can accommodate everybody.”

Sixteen weekly classes are offered seven days a week, and 61 short-term workshops are scheduled this year, with 37 instructors proficient in a broad range of techniques.

The Woodstock School of Art is unique in its emphasis on maintaining a non-toxic environment, with the use of turpentine and mineral spirits prohibited in the studios and low-toxicity citrus-based alternatives encouraged. (A list of available substitutes is on the website.) “It’s something we’re very happy to be able to offer,” says Seubert. “Some of our students and instructors have developed sensitivities to chemicals, so we want to accommodate that as much as possible.”

Chemical sensitivities, often related to repeated exposure over a lifetime, are an obstacle to an artist trying to achieve traditional painting effects and personally frustrating in the day-to-day limitations that they bring and can lead to serious health issues.

Seubert notes that WSA program and gallery coordinator Eric Angeloch (son of co-founder Robert Angeloch) is currently working on developing a non-toxic painting workshop for the school to offer next year, inspired by his own experiences. “He’s been doing a lot of research searching for something that will give him the [painting] results he desires but won’t make him sick.”

The Woodstock School of Art is housed in historic native bluestone-and-timber buildings set on 38 acres of woodlands. The buildings are listed on the State and National Registers of Historic Places. Originally dating to the time of FDR’s New Deal, the structures were commissioned in 1939 for the purpose of teaching craftsmanship to rural youth under the auspices of the National Youth Administration. When World War II broke out, the buildings were abandoned. For a time, the Art Students League in New York City taught a summer program of art classes there, but when they left in 1979, Robert Angeloch, who had been a student there, came in with a group of supporters and moved the Woodstock School of Art there (which originated in 1968). The school’s first sessions had to be held in the summer months, because the buildings were without insulation or heat at the time.

Today the Woodstock School of Art offers fine art education year-round in climate-controlled studios lit with northern light.

Dedicated to preserving its buildings, WSA began fundraising for renovations some five years ago, says Seubert, with about a month-and-a-half of work left on the graphic works and sculpture studio. Rot from water damage was repaired, but the building overall was in “surprisingly good shape for its age,” he adds. “We were able to make it more energy-efficient, adding radiant heat to the flooring – something we’re doing in our other studios, too. We’ve added some skylights and of course, a lot of insulation and updating of windows.” The final project will be a print and works-on-paper studio devoted to all manner of printmaking.
