HISTORY Built to last Stone House Day returns to Hurley for 66 th time this Saturday

COURTESY OF STONE HOUSE DAY

Each year on the second Saturday in July, known as Stone House Day, the owners of some of Hurley’s most historic buildings (which include some of America’s oldest stone houses) throw their doors open for our enjoyment. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. this Saturday, July 9, it’s your chance to pay a visit and inspect the stone houses’ fascinating interiors at your leisure during Hurley’s 66th annual Stone House Day.

York State’s Committee of Safety met following the burning of Kingston in 1777; the 1789 Dr. Richard Ten Eyck House; and the Old Burial Ground. A little further afield, but accessible via a free bus tour, are the 1680 Cornelius Kool House and the 1663 Wynkoop House, which was used as a filming location for the movie Tootsie. The Third Ulster Militia, attired as if it were 1777, will hold an encampment in Hurley that day. Spinners and weavers in Colonial garb will demonstrate their crafts, and kids can learn to make corn dollies. Additional entertainment will include performances of traditional Colonial

nlike the stone houses on New Paltz’s historic Huguenot Street, which are kept open to the public on a regular basis as a living museum, the 230-to-330-year-old dwellings of Hurley’s Dutch settlers are all still private homes today. Opportunities to visit these structures, which include some of America’s oldest stone houses, are therefore limited. Luckily, each year on the second Saturday in July, known as Stone House Day, the owners of some of Hurley’s most historic buildings throw their homes open for our enjoyment.

HISTORY

Help save the Calvert Vauxdesigned Hoyt House

he Calvert Vaux Preservation Alliance will host a fundraising barbecue on Saturday, July 9 at 2 p.m. on the front lawn of the 1855 Calvert Vaux-designed Hoyt House in Staatsburg. Tickets cost $30 for adults and include the barbecue. Admission is free for kids under age 12. Proceeds will benefit the property’s ongoing restoration. Also known as “The Point” for the finger-shaped piece of land that it occupies along the Hudson River, but more commonly known by the name of the only family that ever lived there, the Hoyt House is considered Vaux’s most important application of the Picturesque concept in its integration of landscape and architectural design. The afternoon by the river will feature live music by Hudson Valley-based folk/ rockers the Julie Corbalis Band, and barbecue prepared by CIA-trained chef Michael Lemieux. Demos will be offered by preservation craft specialists: local experts in the types of artisanship necessary to restore a property like Hoyt House. For example, Jeff Ashton, construction manager for the National Park Service’s current historic preservation phase at the Vanderbilt Mansion, will discuss stonework and the stone masonry that his crew is in the process of rebuilding for the porticos of the mansion. Other demos will focus on areas such as woodworking and metalwork. “These are extremely knowledgeable people who will do these demos,” says Alan Strauber, president of the Calvert Vaux Preservation Alliance, which acts as the official “Friends” group for the site, which is owned by the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation. “It’s going to be a really good afternoon. And we’re offering a lot for the money,” he adds, noting that similar events charge far more than the $30 all-inclusive ticket price for this event. “Some of the highticket fundraisers are only going to get the real devotees, but we’re trying to reach out to people in the community, and even people who are just in the area on vacation. We really want to get as much exposure as we can for the Hoyt House.” The price of admission also includes tours of Hoyt House, with continuous screenings inside of a silent film from 1926, Camille. The cast includes Julia Hoyt, whose third husband was Lydig Monson Hoyt. (Along with his first wife, Blanche Geraldine Livingston Hoyt, Lydig hired Vaux to design the Hoyt House, or what they called “The Point,” in the 1850s.) Julia Hoyt enjoyed a brief career on the Broadway stage during the ’20s, divorcing Lydig in 1924. She made three movies, including Camille, which also features appearances by Charlie Chaplin, Dorothy Gish, Ethel Barrymore, Theodore Dreiser, Sinclair Lewis, Paul Robeson, Anita Loos and even the Sultan of Morocco playing himself. The film was made by Ralph Barton, an American artist best-known for his cartoons and caricatures of celebrities. Barton shared studio space at one point with the artist Thomas Hart Benton, who became the subject of Barton’s first caricature. The first restoration phase of Hoyt House was completed in early 2015. The envelope of the house was stabilized from further decay, protecting the interior. The entire roof was reconstructed in the original style, as were the chimneys and gutters. The 20th-century kitchen addition that had been dangling from the house was removed and replaced by a restoration of the original masonry. In its original condition, the Hoyt House in Staatsburg was a prime example of mid-19th-century American Picturesque Gothic Revival style. But after its acquisition by the state in the early 1960s, Hoyt House was left to the ravages of time, vandalism and indifference. The nonprofit Calvert Vaux Preservation Alliance (CVPA), formed to preserve Vaux’s architectural and landscape design legacy in

Proceeds from the July 9 fundraiser will go toward continuing the restoration. “We have come a long way in our quest to restore the Hoyt House,” says Strauber, “but there is still much more to do. The rapidly deteriorating front porch needs full restoration, and the interior of the house needs tending to. Site utilities, such as septic, running water and drainage systems, must also be addressed.” The cost to reconstruct the porch may run The price of admission this Saturday also as high as $750,000. includes tours of Hoyt House, with conWhen Strauber last spoke tinuous screenings inside of the silent with Almanac Weekly in March, ﬁlm Camille.

The CVPA will partner with Boston Architectural College, Dutchess Community College and the New York State Office of Parks to offer college-accredited preservation training courses. The Calvert Vaux Institute will begin its inaugural semester with two courses, and plans are to expand from there, says Strauber, with classes in relevant areas of preservation arts, cultural landscape management, woodworking and metal restoration. Students will learn through doing restorative work on the main house.

Antique Car Show at Poughkeepsie’s Locust Grove this Sunday

When you hear “car show,” you probably picture a hot parking lot or an empty field with rows of vehicles on display. At Locust Grove, the 1851 villa built by Samuel F. B. Morse that overlooks the Hudson River, classic – and classy – automobiles are staged on the estate's rolling hills and grounds. The annual Antique Car Show, hosted by Hudson Valley Auto Enthusiasts, Inc., is one of four major classic car shows in the Hudson Valley, but it stands out in terms of drama and historic amenities. “We get about 350 cars on average,” says Ken Snodgrass, director of Locust Grove. “Though the show is very focused

WAWARSING HISTORICAL SOCIETY & KNIFE MUSEUM

PLACE

WAWARSING HISTORICAL SOCIETY AND KNIFE MUSEUM IN NAPANOCH

he first room in the building is full of artifacts and tchotchkes and documents and odds-and-ends and practical items presumably of use at one time – all from past eras. There are tools and weapons from the Civil War and every conflict since, up to Vietnam. There are arrowheads and axeheads, firemen’s helmets and commercial signage. An old blueberry-picking box. Maps. TV antennae. Ration books from World War II. A lot of what has been gathered for exhibit seems unimportant now. If you were cleaning out your grandfather’s garage and found matchbooks and tickets and other such things, you’d probably just toss them into the trash. Collectors see things differently. “When you do find something that’s still intact, it’s history,” says Robert Pomerantz as he leads me around the building. The Wawarsing Historical Society and Knife Museum is a treasure trove of this stuff and more, and it’s all meticulously arranged in display cases that fill the rooms. The villages of Ellenville, Napanoch and Wawarsing were, at one time, centers of manufacturing and industry, populated by men and women who used their hands to make things. And the Museum stands as a repository for any memorable collectible that its principals can get their hands on. The fascinating draw, however, is the Knife Room: twice as big, with even greater collections of almost every sort of knife that has been made. This is the bonanza, the room where serious knife aficionados come to see specialty items no longer produced in the US. Once upon a time, the manufacturing of cutlery was strong in the Northeast, where immigrants from Sheffield in England landed and water power turned the wheels of industry. Companies from Pennsylvania to New England produced knives for every purpose: weaponry and specialized tools and fancy pieces with BOB HUTTON scrimshawed handles and engraved shafts. Locally, knives were made for more than 130 years, by companies with names like the New York Knife Company, Ulster Knives, Grahamsville Knife Company, Honk Falls Knife Company, Napanach Axe & Iron Company and many others that now grace the contents of these display cases. And probably the one best-known in contemporary times is Schrade. The Schrade Cutlery Company, which started out in Walden, produced an astounding variety of knives from 1904 until 2004, when it abruptly shut down and was sold to a Chinese concern. “Schrade was good to the community,” says Pomerantz. “Every Fourth of July, the company would give the Town of Wawarsing 300 commemorative knives to sell to people for $25 apiece, to cover the costs of having a parade.” The unfortunate exodus marked the end of an era. A few townsfolk walked through the factory in the days after it closed and found knife-blade blanks strewn all over the floors. Some managed to save these and other Schrade artifacts, which have become memorabilia on display. Founded in 2013 by Dr. Richard Craft (president), Rich Langston (vice president and head curator) and Pomerantz (secretary and knife curator) – all avid knife collectors – the Knife Museum now keeps history present in the minds of the community. Change is a constant, but ignorance of what has gone on before our times is simply foolish. “I realize that in our society today there are many good causes, and history is probably not Number One on most agendas. I understand that,” writes Langston. “All I can say in response is that those who forget the mistakes of the past are destined to relive them.” These guys love to share their vast knowledge. Make the trek down Route 209 and check it out. – Ann Hutton Wawarsing Historical Society & Knife Museum, Saturdays/Sundays through Labor Day, 10 a.m.-4 p.m., Route 209 at 3 Irish Cape Road, Napanoch; (845) 647- 7792, www.theknifemuseum.com.

on ‘past era’ cars – say, from 1917 or before – they’re not all strictly antiques. There is something for everybody, right up into the modern era.” Add music and catered food and 40 Locust Grove volunteers to tend to car exhibitors and visitors, and you have a very civilized affair. Snodgrass says that Hudson Valley Auto Enthusiasts

does a great job organizing the show: “We provide the lawn and trees, and they give us an amazing event.” The estate is opened at 8 a.m., and cars are in the field by 12 noon. Spectators are welcome at any time after 9 a.m., but arriving closer to noon is advised. From noon until 3 p.m., you will see the best

EVENT

Hudson Valley Hot-Air Balloon Festival

ouldn’t you like to ride in a beautiful balloon? Or if you’re not that adventurous, stand on solid ground and watch one – or 100 – silently glide up, up and away? You’re in luck: The 26th annual Hudson Valley Hot-Air Balloon Festival lifts off this weekend from locations in Poughquag and Red Hook. Hosted by the Dutchess County Regional Chamber of Commerce, the three-day event has expanded festival hours this year with fun activities going on most of the day on Friday and all day on Saturday and Sunday. As designated “Balloonmeisters” for this year’s festival, Michele and Roger Hooper of Hudson Valley Balloon Adventures in East Fishkill head a lineup of 20 expert balloonists. Read their individual bios and credits on the event website to understand how each came to the sport and stuck with it, quite a few of whom took their first rides as kids. Many of the pilots involved in the Dutchess County festival have flown balloons in foreign lands; all have racked up thousands of airtime hours, professionally and casually. New this year, thanks to the folks at Barton Orchards (Michele Hooper is the director of operations at Barton Orchards in Poughquag and LaGrange), lots of family activities will be offered for the entertainment of “grounded” attendees. And everyone can enjoy old favorites like the inspiring spectacle of balloons lit up after dark called “Moon Glow” on Saturday night, tether rides on balloons tied securely to the ground with ropes that allow for just enough liftoff to give riders a thrill and actual rides-in-the-sky in the hot-air balloons. At Barton Orchards, the gates open at 12 noon on Friday for the festival and all activities. General admission costs $10 in advance, which includes an all-day activities pass. A limited number of tickets will be available at the gate for $12. Children aged 3 and under get in free. Music and entertainment from 1 to 10 p.m. will include Nashville Drive, the Americana Oak Band, FDR Drive and Rob Daniels Acoustic, plus a 6 p.m. mass launch of balloons and fireworks at 9:15 p.m. On Saturday, music will be provided by the Michael Dell Band, Lucky House, Thunder Ridge and Backbeat; on Sunday, it’s Bill’s Toupee and Cruise Control. Children’s activities include crafts, a petting zoo, a hay maze, hayrides, a haunted house and a Fun Zone with a bounce pad, pedal karts, train ride, cow train, ball toss, right-turn maze, labyrinth, big tube slides and more. Plus, there’ll be food trucks, a taproom, a bakery and market. Festival hours at Barton Orchards are Friday, July 8 from 12 noon to 10 p.m., Saturday, July 9 from 5 to 7 a.m. (mass launch) and 12 noon to 10 p.m., Sunday, July 10, 5 to 7 a.m. (mass launch) and 12 noon to 7 p.m. At Migliorelli Farm, where admission and parking are free, festivities kick off at 4 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, July 8 and 9. One balloon will launch each afternoon at 6 p.m., and concessions and activities including tether rides will be available until 7 p.m. For updates, parking information and any other questions about the weekend, call the Chamber’s Balloon hotline at the number below, sponsored by Central

Thursday, July 14 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., guest chef Michael Polasek of the Bluestone Bistro will create three treats for attendees to sample, each paired with wines by Bob Brink of Arlington Wine and Spirits.

MUSIC Jazz at Lincoln Center, North Wynton Marsalis Octet to perform at Bard, new home to Jazz at Lincoln Center's Summer Jazz Academy

azz is a Wynton Marsalis thing. The great jazz and classical trumpeter, composer, bandleader and educator has served as managing and artistic director of Jazz at Lincoln Center (JALC) since that organization’s inception in 1987. In that time, no individual has exerted a more profound influence over the curation of the jazz tradition, the allocation of its resources and the education of it future. While some have objected to Marsalis’ strict delineation of the jazz canon (“overly classicist and wary of the experimental” is the most common gripe), few question the man’s authority, commitment or seriousness of purpose. If the twin aims of JALC were to bring younger audiences to concert music while also formally recognizing the legitimacy of jazz as serious music, they certainly got their man in Wynton Marsalis. The

Jason Aldean to play Bethel Woods

ince the early 2000s, the hugely popular country music artist Jason Aldean has been putting up the kind of sales numbers that must remind the record industry of better days.

MUSIC

Vladimir Feltsman and the genesis of PianoSummer

or three weeks in July, gifted young musicians from all over the world come to SUNY-New Paltz to study at the PianoSummer Institute, run by Vladimir Feltsman, the world-renowned, Russian-born pianist who made his debut at Carnegie Hall in 1987 and has played with major orchestras around the globe. Feltsman, who has taught at SUNY-New Paltz since 1987 – the year he emigrated from Russia to the US – has headed the Institute and Festival for the past nine years. Under his tenure, the PianoSummer Institute, which was launched 22 years ago, has developed from its modest beginnings into what he calls “one of the most interesting summer piano schools in the US.” That reputation in part was made possible by the private financial support that Feltsman – who also teaches at the Mannes College of Music – mustered from his extensive network of contacts. The PianoSummer Institute differs from other distinguished summer music schools in that it is shorter – three weeks, as opposed to the more typical nine weeks – and intense, with five lessons a day. “It’s piano boot camp,” Feltsman said. Lessons are given by SUNY-New Paltz’s seven Music Department professors and visiting guest artists. Despite the intensity of the program, “My purpose is not to make superstars of our kids,” Feltsman said. The Institute offers “an objective teaching model” in which all the students study with all the teachers: a modus operandi that exposes the young musicians to a variety of styles and approaches, Feltsman said. The aim “is to open up something in their minds and help them learn how to learn,” he said, noting that developing this “critical ability is of value for the rest of their lives” – a longer-lasting legacy than simply preparing them to play at a world-class venue (although when an Institute grad does play Carnegie Hall, it’s pretty wonderful, he acknowledged). Feltsman himself made his debut with the Moscow Symphony Orchestra at age 11, although he modestly stated that compared to “kids today who make $10 million at the age of 12, I was just pretty good.” He credits his experience as a teenaged student at the Moscow Conservatory, and in particular, his teacher Jacob Flier, as the prime inspiration and foundation of his career. Back then, “The Moscow Conservatory was unquestionably the greatest music school in the world.” However, “Being a student of one of these great guys implied certain rules of behavior: You could not walk into another class and hear how a different teacher worked. If you did, your present teacher was not very happy about it.” In contrast, at the PianoSummer Institute all the teachers have equal authority. “There is no such thing as the absolute truth about how to play Mozart,” Feltsman said. “It’s easier to say or show what not to do than to show students what to do. It’s like a mirror: What you get depends on how and who is looking. But when you absorb and digest from other teachers, it becomes yours, and that’s how you learn how to learn.” Feltsman acknowledged this approach may initially be confusing for some students, but ultimately they discover “what clicks and resonates.” Such an open-ended learning approach also gives students a breather from the enormous pressure that they’re under. “The process here and in certain places in Europe is not very pretty,” he said. “The main criterion is not how good he

Bardavon to host Men at Work's Colin Hay A strong candidate for two-orthree-hitwonder status, Men at Work’s in-

His solo live shows are the stuff of legend, every bit as much for his storytelling and his irresistible personality as for the bottomless backlog of good songs that he has accumulated across 11 solo records and the still-beloved Men at Work catalogue. Daryl’s House presents Colin Hay live at the Bardavon 1869 Opera House in Poughkeepsie on Friday, July 15 at 8 p.m. General admission tickets cost $40 in advance, $45 at the door. Tickets can be purchased at the Bardavon box office at 35 Market Street in Poughkeepsie, (845) 473-2072; at the Ulster Performing Arts Center box office at 601 Broadway in Kingston, (845) 339-6088; or via Ticketmaster at (800) 745-3000.

or she plays, but how well the teacher is connected and the support he or she could get for the students. The PianoSummer Institute and Festival is the opposite of that.” The accompanying festival, held at the college’s McKenna Theatre, consists of performances by faculty and selected PianoSummer Institute alum, along with a series of recitals by the attending students and master classes by the visiting artists. The students compete in two performances for the Jacob Flier Competition. All the performances are open to the public. As a young pianist in Russia, Feltsman was perhaps free from the commercial pressures experienced by today’s up-and-coming classical musicians, but he had other challenges, namely getting his travel abroad approved by the KGB, and endured perhaps the worse fate imaginable for a performer, after he unsuccessfully applied for an exit visa: virtual artistic exile in the USSR for eight years, during which his recordings were suppressed and he was banned from performing. With the coming of glasnost, he was finally able to leave, in 1987. He continues to perform in his former homeland, but says that there’s nothing romantic about the connection: “I have quite a following in Russia and my concerts sell very well, so they can make money off me. I still have a few dear friends there, and Russia will always have a special place in my heart. But it’s all business.” Despite the political difficulties, he feels fortunate to have been in Russia in the 1960s and ’70s. “If you’re talking about music culture, Russia was the place to be, especially for young students. But one of the main reasons I wanted to leave Russia is that if you don’t play the game and follow the rules, you have zero chance of making a career” – as a result of which, “I detest politics.” He is concerned about the future of classical music in this country. “We need new ways of appealing to a broader audience, especially younger people, and I hope there will be enough people who can appreciate it and see the difference between Bach and Mozart and rap,” he said. “I don’t want to be the older guy reminiscing about the good old times, so I’m trying to help younger people see the real value of classical music and develop an appreciation for something real. Without classical music, poetry, literature and art, life would be that much more meager and gray.” – Lynn Woods PianoSummer, SUNY-New Paltz; (845) 257-3880, www.newpaltz.edu/piano.

erplexed as he was by the question, â&#x20AC;&#x153;What does a woman want?â&#x20AC;? it seems likely that Sigmund Freud was unfamiliar with the works of Geoffrey Chaucer. Had the Father of Psychoanalysis being paying attention, the Wife of Bath in the Canterbury Tales could have told him everything that he needed to know. In â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Wife of Bathâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tale,â&#x20AC;? Queen Guinevereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Court of Love gives a rapist a year and a day to find out what women really want, or else be executed. After much fruitless searching he agrees to

marry a Loathly Lady and, after being asked his preference, allows the hag to decide for herself whether to appear as ugly or beautiful in public; thus the spell on her is broken and his life is spared. Although she is ridiculed for having cannily outlived too many husbands, Alisoun has a simple wisdom to share with her fellow pilgrims: that women want the ability to work their own wills, to make their own choices about their lives â&#x20AC;&#x201C; essentially the same thing that men do.

ALMANAC WEEKLY

July 7, 2016

fornication law in his liege’s pretended absence whilst using his own newfound power to demand that Isabella – a young postulant about to enter a nunnery – trade her maidenhead for her brother Claudio’s life, stands in for many a televangelist or right-wing Congressman caught with his pants down in some all-too-public place. Measure for Measure is great material, always ripe for reinterpretation; it’s just that abrupt ending, where Isabella is given no lines at all to express her reaction to the unveiled Duke’s offer of marriage, that makes things awkward. So I am very pleased to report that the Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival (HVSF) passes the ultimate relevance test in its new production of Measure for Measure, directed by Davis McCallum and running in repertory at Boscobel all summer along with Macbeth and As You Like It. The final scene does not sweep the issue of agency for Isabella under the rug by making her nod or skip up and down gleefully at the prospect of marrying the richest and most powerful guy in town. It lets the character – played with steely gusto by Annie Purcell – react as any modern woman would react if informed that she has no choice about her own future. Letting a Shakespeare “comedy” end on such a grim and hopeless note

is an audacious creative decision, and McCallum deserves much credit for pulling no punches here. Power (and its abuse even by the wellintentioned) is a serious business, but Measure for Measure is also loaded to the gills with funny matter, much of it so risqué that only heavily Bowdlerized versions were put on for a couple of centuries. The heroine may be a chaste nun-wannabe, her tormenter a selfrighteous aristocrat and her savior a benevolent Duke in disguise, but the audience spends considerable time in the company of the riffraff of Vienna, who aren’t pleased at all with this closing down of brothels and whatnot. And entertaining company they are: HVSF veteran Kurt Rhoads seems to be having the time of his life as he camps it up in full drag as Pompey the pimp. Zachary Fine is a complete hoot as Lucio, cheeky, disreputable best friend to Isabella’s imprisoned brother Claudio; he appears to be channeling Woody Harrelson with his Southern accent, preening strut and toothy grin. Michael Broadhurst delivers giggles aplenty in his rendering of Elbow, the malapropism-spouting constable who is essentially the same character as Dogberry in Much Ado about Nothing. Jessica Love is barely recognizable in her

DEPERO’S “PUPPET NOIR” DEMOLISHING EVERYTHING WITH AMAZING SPEED PREMIERES AT BARD

Acclaimed as “dazzling, intelligent and thrilling,” Assassins broke new ground in musical theatre when it opened 20 years ago. Never before had audiences seen a show that was, in one critic’s words, “as horrifying as it was hilarious.” With musical styles ranging from Revolutionary era piccolo and drum, to folksy acoustic guitar, to the Golden Age of Broadway, Assassins tells the story of America not through its heroes but through its villains.

July 22-24 8pm Fri & Sat • 3pm Sun Tickets: $20

lmost a full century after its creation, the Italian Futurist Fortunato Depero’s suite of four puppet plays Demolishing Everything with Amazing Speed (1917) receives its world premiere as part of Bard’s SummerScape festival. Translated, designed and directed by Obie and Bessie Award-winning artist Dan Hurlin, the production combines traditional Bunraku puppetry techniques with state-of-the-art technology – from 3-D printing to sound sampling and a live score from Tony Award-nominated composer/sound designer Dan Moses Schreier. Depero (1892-1960) is known, among other distinctions, as the author of the manifesto Futurist Reconstruction of the Universe, and for his collaboration with Swiss writer Gilbert Clavel, I Balli Plastici, a ballet for machinelike wooden puppets, simulating the Futurist ideal of technology’s breaking free of human influence. That one was written in 1918, anticipating a perennially popular theme in science fiction from the 1930s right on up to the present: artificial intelligence that outsmarts and rebels against its creators. Hurlin unearthed the four Depero puppet plays while doing research under a fellowship at the American Academy in Rome. These short, wordless dramas are precursors to I Balli Plastici and mark the beginning of Depero’s long involvement with performance, as well as his desire to combine all media and disciplines into one comprehensive gesamtwerk. Gathered together as Demolishing Everything with Amazing Speed, the four plays are titled Acrobatic Suicides and Homicides, Automatic Thief, Electric Adventure and Safe. Dialogue-free and packed with surreal imagery, they represent a masterful marriage of playful whimsy with violence and menace. Demolishing Everything with Amazing Speed will be performed in the LUMA Theater of the Frank Gehry-designed Fisher Center on Bard’s Hudson Valley campus. Suitable for ages 12 and up, this “puppet noir” production will be performed at 7:30 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays, July 7, 8, 9, 14, 15 and 16, and at 2 p.m. on Sundays, July 10 and 17, Wednesday, July 13 and Saturday, July 16. Ticket prices range from $25 to $60. An Opening Night Reception for members (July 9), pre-performance talk (July 10) and post-performance conversation (July 13) will accompany ten performances of Demolishing Everything with Amazing Speed between July 7 and 17. Ticket prices range from $25 to $60. For tickets and more information, visit http://fishercenter.bard.edu/summerscape. Bard College is located in Annandaleon-Hudson.

transformation from the madam, Mistress Overdone (hunchbacked and using a walker), to Mariana, the faithful fiancée spurned by Angelo after her dowry was lost in a shipwreck. All the more serious roles are adroitly handled as well, especially Stephen Paul Johnson as Escalus, Mark Bedard as the Provost and Shawn Fagan as the duplicitous Angelo. LeRoy McClain emotes well in the fairly thankless role of Claudio. But the true main character of Measure for Measure, with the most complex arc, is Duke Vincentio. Sean McNall holds nothing back in showing us the Duke’s weakness in wanting to delegate the most distasteful tasks of ruling to his deputy, as well as his essential goodness, compassion and cleverness in teasing out a tricky solution to Claudio’s impending doom. His scenes with Fine as Lucio arrogantly trash-talks the Duke to his monkish alter ego are absolutely priceless. As is usual at Boscobel, sets and props are minimal, lighting and musical interludes (including a doo-wop rendition of “Take, O Take Those Lips Away”) spoton and Amy Clark’s thrown-together, hilariously clashing thrift-store costumes a total joy. It’s a wonderful production all around. – Frances Marion Platt Measure for Measure will be performed on July 7, 10, 14, 20, 23, 24, 26 and 29 and August 1, 3, 6, 9, 11, 18, 24 and 28.

Still from Queen: Live in Bohemia

SCREEN

Queen: Live in Bohemia & Heavy Metal Parking Lot in Rosendale

s part of its Music Fan Film Series, the Rosendale Theatre has put together a doozy of a double feature: the Queen live concert film, Queen: Live in Bohemia, preceded by the legendary short film, Heavy Metal Parking Lot, which documents fans tailgating outside of a Judas Priest concert in Landover, Maryland. Showings happen on Tuesday and Wednesday, July 12 and 13 at 7:15 p.m. Live in Bohemia is the newly restored and remastered concert, filmed live on Christmas Eve 1975 at the Hammersmith Odeon in London. Rosendale’s Programming Committee member Pam Kray was part of a Washington, DC art and film collective called I AM EYE, along with future Heavy Metal Parking Lot filmmakers Jeff Krulik and John Heyn. Via this connection, Krulik and Heyn will be on hand (via Skype) both nights. Tickets cost $10 general admission, $8 for Rosendale Theatre members.

Popping Pop’s bubble Art Bastard screening on Sunday at Upstate Films Woodstock to be followed by reception with painter Robert Cenedella at WAAM

n 1811, young poet-to-be Percy Bysshe Shelley was expelled from Oxford University for anonymously publishing a pamphlet titled The Necessity of Atheism. Nearly 150 years later, during the Cold War era, young painter-to-be Robert Cenedella was expelled from the High School of Music and Art in New York City for writing a letter to the principal ridiculing the air raid drills that in those days required students to “duck and cover” under their desks in preparation for a nuclear attack. Sounds more like good sense than satire today, but Cenedella’s little act of rebellion set the tone for a life in the arts that defied (and still does) all the musts, oughts and shoulds of 20thcentury cultural trendsetters. A contemporary of Andy Warhol, Cenedella has been characterized as the “anti-Warhol,” calling out Pop Art as an emperor with no clothes on and rejecting the success that might have come to him much sooner had he been willing to succumb to the lure of crass commercialization. He had the misfortune to fall in love with representational, socialrealist styles of art at a time when first abstraction and then ironic cool were all the rage. Even so, over time, Cenedella’s vast canvases, rife with the chaotic beauty of politics, humor, history and humanity, drew admirers from all walks of society – even from the vaunted art patrons who rejected him. Some characters seem to survive adverse

times through sheer orneriness, and today Cenedella has finally become a voice to be reckoned with amongst the art-world cognoscenti. In his youth a student, protégé and friend of German artist George Grosz, Cenedella is now passing on the legacy of Grosz’s approach to art, in the very same room at the Art Students League where Grosz once taught. And he is now the subject of a documentary titled Art Bastard, directed by Victor Kanefsky, that opens on Friday, July 8 at Upstate Films Woodstock. The new film is described as “a portrait of the artist as a young troublemaker, an alternate history of modern art and a quintessential New York story.” The documentary will be shown at Upstate Films in Woodstock starting on July 8. Better yet, the man himself is coming to the theater on Tinker Street for a special screening followed by a Q & A on Sunday, July 10 at 2 p.m. After the film and talk, there will be a reception for the artist just down the street at the Woodstock Artists Association and Museum (WAAM). Entry to the festivities costs $15 general admission, $12 for seniors and $10 for members of Upstate Films and/or WAAM. This is a terrific opportunity to hear from a gifted, honest, take-no-prisoners iconoclast whose stubborn resistance to the vagaries of aesthetic fashion has been vindicated by time.

MOVIE

The BFG

Sweet dreams are made of this Big-hearted BFG is gorgeous, touching family fare

tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always a sorry state of affairs when a really good movie tanks at the box office on account of slipshod marketing. As of its first weekend of release, that unhappy fate seems about to befall Steven Spielbergâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest effort: an excellent live-action adaptation of Roald Dahlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s modern childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s classic, The BFG. If audiences all get together and generate some positive word-of-mouth, maybe we can still save this quirky, worthy product from the Hollywood scrap heap. The irony of The BFGâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s predicament is that part of the reason for its failure to draw moviegoers over the Fourth of July weekend is the fact that it was competing for eyeballs with another very popular movie pitched at families and children, Finding Dory. To be more precise, whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ironic about that is the fact that The BFG is actually a much more impressive film. Its stars arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as well-known in the US, and its pacing is somewhat more gentle; but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easily as heartstring-tugging and notably more impressive visually. In all likelihood, a significant factor in the marketing effortâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s failure to engage is the title. In 1982, when Dahlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s novel was written, there was no Internet, and nobody would have confused the acronym BFG with, say, OMFG. So letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s be clear from the get-go that The BFG means the Big Friendly Giant. No effing anything involved (although there are definitely flatulence jokes, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very British in tone, so more elevated â&#x20AC;&#x201C; literally â&#x20AC;&#x201C; than most movie humor of that sort). The BFG is the tale of Sophie (Ruby

action and CGI. This is no skin-crawly motion-capture failure like The Polar Express; the borders between real and simulated images are absolutely seamless. The giant himself looks partly like Quentin Blakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s charming wiggly-line illustrations from the original books and partly like Mark Rylance himself. Londonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gloomy nighttime streets and alleyways, the BFGâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s delightful contraption-filled cavern and especially Dream Country, where he takes Sophie on a magical hunt for fizzy, whizzy dreams that drip from the Aurora Borealis into an upside-down pond, are truly wondrous to behold. Janusz Kaminskiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cinematography made my jaw drop again and again, in ways that Finding Dory might have but never did. It wants a big screen to do the visuals true justice, and a good sound system to optimize John Williamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; most magical scoring since the early Harry Potter films. The BFG deserves a happier ending than the one that the movie trade publications are predicting. Help rescue him by scooping up your own favorite littlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;uns (with their parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; permission, of course), or even just another grownup with a heart and an imagination, and go see it now, before it disappears back into Dream Country. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Frances Marion Platt

This being a Roald Dahl story, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plenty dark for a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story â&#x20AC;&#x201C; especially when Sophie, exploring the BFGâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lair, figures out the fate of a boy who had been a previous guest. But although it has its frightening moments, The BFG is mostly as kidfriendly as its title character. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tremendous warmth and tenderness in the story of the friendship that gradually unfolds between these two very different beings who barely speak the same language. The BFGâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s English is liberally peppered with almost-words and gross mispronunciations that keep things as fizzy and lively as a bottle of frobscottle. But The BFGâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most compelling attractions are the visuals, which stake out a gorgeous, hitherto-unexplored wonderland poised halfway between live-

Barnhill), a smart, lonely orphan who stays up all night and claims never to dream. One night she spots a giant who is skulking around the neighborhood of her austere London orphanage, puffing pleasant dreams at sleepers with a long brass trombonishlooking object. Knowing that his cover has been blown, the BFG (Mark Rylance) reaches a huge hand into the dormitory and carries Sophie off to Giant Country. As it turns out, her abductor is a sweet, bashful, benevolent vegetarian who brings dreams to people as his way of compensating for the depredations of nine much-larger giants, who eat â&#x20AC;&#x153;human beansâ&#x20AC;? and call the BFG â&#x20AC;&#x153;Runty.â&#x20AC;? The little girl and the BFG quickly bond, and he tries his best to keep her hidden from his anthropophagous neighbors. In turn, bossy Sophie urges her new giant friend to stop putting up with the constant bullying from the larger giants that has become part of his daily routine. Eventually the danger heats up to the point where Sophie

And the kaleidoscope shop, as always, offers the optical instruments in all sizes and price points, from an inexpensive cardboard tube version to high-end artisan-made scopes. The kaleidoscope was patented in 1816 in Scotland. Its inventor, Sir David Brewster (1781-1868), was doing experiments on light polarization when he came up with the device. The name “kaleidoscope” is an amalgam of several Greek words that have to do with observed beauty and form. At first, Brewster envisioned his creation as a scientific tool. At their height in the Victorian Era, kaleidoscopes were made by professional optical instrument-makers and intended for adult use. But it didn’t take long before they were relegated to the status of a parlor amusement for adults and eventually became a toy for children. Still, however, Brewster thought he was going to make his fortune on the kaleidoscope: In 1817, he sold more than 200,000 kaleidoscopes in London and

World’s Largest Kaleidoscope in Mt. Tremper marks 20th anniversary this Saturday

Paris in just three months. But a fault in his patent application meant that others copied his invention – and the rest, as they say, is history. The key component in a kaleidoscope is a set of mirrors attached at specific angles to duplicate images of whatever objects are inside the device. We humans are drawn to symmetry, and some scientists have said that it’s because we crave order in the universe and find satisfaction in the repetition of pattern. It’s no wonder, then, that kaleidoscopes fascinate us in their ability to take random shapes and transform chaos into orderly, symmetrical patterns. And our need for constant change is satisfied, too, with the kaleidoscope’s rapidly morphing patterns and sequences. The 56-foot-high kaleidoscope in Mount Tremper – the height of the silo and certified as World’s Largest by the Guinness Book of World Records – utilizes a 2.5-ton, 37-foot-tall pyramid of mirrors to multiply video images into 50-footwide kaleidoscopic patterns with 254 facets. Until its creation, the largest kaleidoscope had been a 12-foot-long model owned by a member of the Brewster Society, an organization of kaleidoscope enthusiasts named for the device’s inventor. Most kaleidoscopes are intimate objects, held in the hand and controlled by the user at his or her own speed; but the World’s Largest is a walk-in kaleidoscope, its images delivered to its viewers who simply incline and lean their heads back and look up. It cost a cool quarter-million to create back in 1996. It took several months to make and required a 100-foot-tall crane to hoist it into the former grain silo. The World’s Largest Kaleidoscope was designed by self-taught stained glass artist and kaleidoscope designer Charles Karadimos. And in one of the oddest footnotes to this whole story, before Karadimos was brought into the project, he had apparently already been thinking about turning a silo on his own farm in Maryland into a huge kaleidoscope, but lacked the funding to do it on his own. – Sharyn Flanagan World’s Largest Kaleidoscope 20th anniversary celebration, Saturday, July 9, 10 a.m.-5 p.m., free, Emerson Resort & Spa, 5340 Route 28, Mt.

What do you do with an empty silo? If you’re developer Dean Gitter, you turn it into a giant kaleidoscope and invite the world in. Twenty years ago, Gitter’s decision to turn an unused silo into the World’s Largest Kaleidoscope at what is now the Emerson Resort & Spa in Mount Tremper was called “carnivalesque” by some of his neighbors. But Gitter stuck by his claims that it would be good for tourism. And apparently, he was onto something; this weekend, the World’s Largest Kaleidoscope will observe its 20 th anniversary. The Emerson Resort & Spa, which recently underwent a $6 million renovation by its new owners, is celebrating the milestone for its unusual attraction with a day of “kaleidofun” for the entire family on Saturday, July 9 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.

ART Field days Art Omi in Ghent celebrates 25 th anniversary this weekend

his weekend, the Omi International Arts Center in Columbia County will open the doors of its studio barn to hundreds of people who have come to see original work from artists of all different nationalities. Art Omi Weekend is notable for being Omi’s most popular annual event. This year, however, is special: It celebrates Omi’s 25th anniversary. Omi was founded in 1992 by Francis Greenburger, a real estate investor, entrepreneur, literary agent and art enthusiast. Initially, it was a residency program for visual artists, but Omi in Ghent has since grown to include residencies for writers, translators, musicians, composers, dancers and choreographers, as well as a full roster of public events. This year, according to communications director Kate Geurin, that calendar includes approximately 40 events, many of them “test runs” being tried for the

first time. “There’s something going on just about every weekend into the fall,” she says. “We wanted to celebrate the anniversary and showcase how the

programs have grown.” In June, Omi debuted “Ultra-Pro: Sculptures that Cook,” an afternoon barbecue featuring working grills, smokers and ovens created by artists. It was free and open to the public. “Omi is wonderful in that it is so relaxed, and you get to explore at your leisure; but we really wanted to engage with our local art community,” says Geurin. Organized by Omi alum Michael Tong, the event included some local artists and others who had connections to Omi. “They really ran the gamut,” says Geurin. But the artists had one thing in common: They all wanted to do it again. For the 25th anniversary, Omi wanted to put a special emphasis on drawing alumni back, says director Ruth Adams. Artists are only allowed one residency, she says, because Omi hopes to offer opportunities to as many different artists as possible. “Quite a number of alumni have moved to the area or nearby,” including international artists, says Adams. “We always hope to

interact with them in some way, so we thought, ‘Why not invite them to curate an evening or afternoon?’” In residency programs, says Geurin, “So much of it is about the process and the works-in-progress.” Bringing alumni back gives them the chance not only to reconnect with Omi, but also to show their completed works. For audiences, however, a glimpse into the artistic process is part of what makes Omi so unique. “We really are sharing a behind-the-scenes look with the public,” says Adams, who mentions the dance residency performances as an example. When dancers arrive, they perform independently in front of their peers and the public. Then, at the end of the program, they perform again – only this time in pieces that they’ve worked on collaboratively. Rather than paying for a ticket to see a finished piece, says Adams, audiences “come open-minded with no expectations” and, in exchange for their openness, are treated to art that is totally

JUAN MANUEL ALVAREZ-OSSA

EXHIBITION

JUAN MANUEL ALVAREZ-OSSA EXHIBITION OPENS THIS SATURDAY AT THE LOFTS IN BEACON

hen asked about the translation of artwork influenced by the atmospheres of Paris and Zurich to the sensibilities of viewers in Beacon, New York, this artist, Juan Manuel Alvarez-Ossa, who was born in Colombia and grew up in the Hudson Valley, enlightens me: “It’s not a question of being provincial or not. I think that when art is art – whether it’s in Paris or London or Tokyo or here in the mid-Hudson area – when you really have something to say, something to convey or communicate, your work will always have an audience. It’s just a question of when the artist is being truthful, not taking one’s self for something else which we are not. As long as we are truthful, trying to tell the reality of our feelings, we will always have an audience.” Alvarez-Ossa’s work is being exhibited at the Lofts at Beacon Gallery this month and next in a show titled “Of American Perception: Studies.” He explains, “For the last two years, all my exhibitions have come at the end ‘Studies,’ because even though they are fully finished works of art, it is only that whatever we artists do, it always remains an approach to reality. Even when you are taking a picture or videotaping, you cannot take the reality. Pictures give you a flat reality. Film is going to miss something. It doesn’t give you the overall unity. Of ‘American Perceptions’: Over in Europe and all the exhibits I’ve done since ’86, I have been told that my art is ‘very American.’ For this retrospective, I’m going to exhibit nudes, landscapes, flowers, abstractions – I needed something that could convey who I really am.” He is an early-1970s emigrant who graduated from Beacon High School and pursued Art and Modern Languages with the early goal of becoming a diplomat. In his third year of studying International Relations at Marist College in Poughkeepsie, Alvarez-Ossa traveled to Paris and realized that he preferred the fields of Literature and Art. He completed his degree at the American University in Paris and earned subsequent degrees in Linguistics from l’Université Paris-Sorbonne. He describes how Hyperrealism as a genre “goes toward a photographic depiction that is so real, people think it’s a picture. But no, it’s just a work of oils and acrylic. I work with trompe-l’oeil. I do interior murals. That work has given me a chance to learn all the techniques that allow me to focus into Hyperrealism. And from there, I have the tendency to go into abstraction: to fake a reality, but work it in such a way that if I change my painting from position, my goal is to break the reality into something else.” On July 9, the Lofts will host an opening of Alvarez-Ossa’s works on canvas and paper. The artist’s 35 years of living and creating artworks in Paris and his subsequent sojourn in Switzerland continue to inspire him to create art and commissioned work for private and public patrons. Alvarez-Ossa’s work can be viewed online at www.juan-manuel-alvarez-ossa.com and in Beacon through Sunday, August 28. The Lofts at Beacon Gallery keep hours in conjunction with Beacon’s Second Saturday and Open Studios. – Ann Hutton “Of American Perceptions: Studies by Juan Manuel Alvarez-Ossa” opening reception, Saturday, July 9, 4-7 p.m., Lofts at Beacon Gallery, 18 Front Street, Beacon; (845) 202-7211, www.loftsatbeacon.com.

original. The annual Art Omi Weekend is another such example of accessible art. It starts on Saturday, July 9 at 8:30 p.m. with a celebration featuring music by the 16-piece band Sambaland. On Sunday, July 10 at 11 a.m. is the brunch recognizing artists and, this year especially, founders. While the dance on Saturday night and the brunch on Sunday are both ticketed events, the open studio barns on Sunday will be showcasing the work of 30 artists from 27 different countries for no cost. “And you can talk to the artists,” adds Adams. For those artists, Adams says that Omi provides the time and space to develop their work and meet with people in their fields. According to Adams, artists are chosen “based on the quality of their

work” more than anything. Omi looks for people whose works are “geographically and stylistically diverse. We want people… who are going to enrich each other and form a community across geographic and political boundaries.” She mentions that Omi will sometimes have residents who form bonds with one another despite being from countries that are “not getting along.” The time is for artists to use as they see fit, but Omi hopes to foster a creative and professional community that lasts long beyond their brief residencies. That atmosphere of creative community extends to the local community as well. In addition to the many events that members of the public can attend as spectators, Omi offers programs that allow them to be involved in making art. Its popular kids’ camp is sold out this year, and it’s

offering workshops for both children and teens. Adults can learn, too, with a drop-in drawing class led by Adams. Omi also keeps its expansive grounds open to the public. Its 300 acres include a Visitors’ Center with a by-donation gallery, and the Fields Sculpture Park with more than 80 pieces of contemporary sculpture always on display. The diehard dog-walkers arrive reliably “at 6 in the morning” says Adams, but Omi attracts an ever-broadening crowd. Adams says that she has noticed that more and more people are coming to visit Omi from afar. “We’ll get people who come just for Omi,” she says. “It’s becoming a destination.” With 25 years behind it, Omi still has a lot planned for the future. Its staff and board are constantly entertaining ideas for events and programs. Their most significant undertaking this year is envisioning yet another residency program. “We’re thinking about piloting an architecture residency,” says Adams. “As far as we know, there’s only one in the country.” One notable upcoming event is “Miracle and Monstah” at the PS21 performance spaces in Chatham on July 29. The evening will feature solo performances by Omi alumni Stephanie Miracle and Monstah Black. While this performance will be one of finished works, it’s the ongoing process of art and engagement that defines Omi. “We’re grateful to have found a home here in Columbia County,” says Adams. “It’s such a great community, and people are so willing to support and

NATURE

Prairie Style pioneer Millbrook's Cary Institute screens documentary of landscape architect & environmental champion Jens Jensen

fter immigrating to Chicago in 1884, Danishborn Jens Jensen was taken by the immensity of the Great Plains, calling it “America’s greatest strength.” As the prairie began disappearing, plowed under by rapid urban growth, Jensen brought the prairie to the city, designing parks that celebrated the open character, horizontal expanse and native vegetation of the natural Midwestern landscape. Jensen said that his mission was to inspire working people desensitized by urban sprawl. Jens Jensen His designs in what became known as the “Prairie Style” made great use of the interaction between sky and landscape. Horizontally branched native trees and shrubs repeated around the edges of outdoor “rooms,” and water features that emulated the natural streams, lakes and wetlands of the Midwest evoked the unique character of the region. The effect was completed by layered limestone imitating natural rock outcroppings and the native glacial ridges of the region. The Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies in Millbrook will screen a PBS documentary about pioneering landscape designer and environmental champion Jens Jensen on Friday, July 8 at 7 p.m. Narrated by his great-granddaughter Jensen Wheeler Wolfe, The Living Green follows the Danish immigrant’s rise from streetsweeper in the 1880s to the “dean of American landscape architects,” as he was called by The New York Times upon his death in 1951. Admission to the award-winning film is free, with seats available on a first-come, first-served basis. Carey Lundin, director and co-

a two-year odyssey of preservation by Art History professor David Huntington and politician Sam Aldrich. Along the way, their effort was aided by many prominent, culturally minded people, including first ladies Jackie Kennedy and Lady Bird Johnson. When Life magazine ran a story about Olana in 1965 titled “Must This Mansion Be Destroyed?” it galvanized local and national attention. Olana became officially protected as a State Historic Site on June 27, 1966, when then-governor Nelson Rockefeller signed the legislation to do so on the front steps of Olana. In honor of that milestone, the Olana Partnership is throwing a party. “The Olana Summer Party: Olana ’66” on Saturday, July 9 from 5 to 8 p.m. will be a toast to the accomplishments of the generation who saved Olana and a celebration of its future. Olana ’66 opens with the Host Committee Reception from 5 to 6 p.m. on Olana’s Ridge Road. Chef Jeffrey Gimmel from Swoon Kitchenbar will provide a special hors d’oeuvre paired with cocktails from the Hudson Standard. Chef Gimmel is a James Beard Award nominee for Best Chef, Northeast, 2012.

producer of The Living Green, will lead a question-and-answer session following the film. The event is co-sponsored by the Cary Institute, Innisfree Garden and the Garden Conservancy. The doors open at 6:30 p.m. The film includes an actual interview with Jensen done fewer than ten years before his death. Although the scratchy old acetate recordings were in terrible condition, modern technology brought them back to life. There were also many photographs available, with Jensen having been in the public eye a great deal. Tall and handsome, Jensen was the “picture of European elegance dressed in perfect suits,” according to director Lundin. Jensen was also a leader in efforts to conserve threatened areas. An avid conservationist, he organized movements leading to the creation of the Cook County Forest Preserve District, the Illinois State Park system and the Indiana Dunes State Park and National Lakeshore. His pioneering work in Chicago’s West Parks was informed by his philosophical belief in the humanizing power of parks. Many of his ideas are incorporated in what we think of today as sustainable landscape. Preview The Living Green at www.jensjensenthelivinggreen.org and on the Cary Institute website. – Sharyn Flanagan The Living Green screening, Friday, July 8, 7 p.m., free, Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies, 2801 Sharon Turnpike, Millbrook; (845) 677-7600, extension 121, www.caryinstitute.org.

The party then moves to the main tent on Olana’s East Lawn, where guests will enjoy creative offerings from participating chefs and restaurants, including Kirby Farmer from Wm. Farmer and Sons in Hudson, Devon Gilroy from the Corner in Tivoli, Rei Peraza from Panzur in Tivoli, Dan Smith from John Andrews in Egremont, Massachusetts and Nick Suarez from

Gaskins in Germantown. The oyster bar will be provided by Other Brother Darryl’s from Otis, Massachusetts. Cocktails and beverages will be provided by the Hillrock Distilleries, Hudson Valley Distillers, Mionetto USA, Saratoga Sparking Water and the Hudson Standard. There will also be a selection of regional wines provided with assistance from Fairview Wines and Spirits. Deejay Javier Peral will spin ’60s vinyl all evening, and ’60s-inspired attire is “admired but not required.” (One can’t help but think that paisley and Nehru jackets will look really swell in the colorful, multicultural environs of Olana and all its decorative elements.) The Hudson River School painter Frederic Edwin Church (1826-1900) designed Olana to be not only his home and studio, but also a working farm. The unique integration of art, architecture and landscape incorporates Church’s ideas about environmental conservation. Olana’s 250-acre artist-designed landscape with the Persian-inspired house at its summit features panoramic views of the Hudson Valley and Catskill Mountains. More than 170,000 visit the site annually. Tickets to Olana ’66 cost $125 for

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a hiker or paddler, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost impossible this time of year not to be aware of various inva-

sive species that are crowding out native plants and stifling biodiversity in the Hudson Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fields and forests and along our waterways. Unwelcome insect species are doing damage to our native trees as well â&#x20AC;&#x201C; notably the emerald ash borer and the hemlock woolly adelgid. With its high level of bark tannins making it useful for processing animal hides for leather, the Eastern or Canadian hemlock (Tsuga canadensis) played an important role in the economy of our region back in frontier and Colonial days.

Then Elizabeth White, a cranberry grower in Whitesbog, teamed up with Dr. F. V. Coville of the US Department of Agriculture to study and improve the blueberry. White instructed her pickers

to search out the best wild blueberry bushes, which were moved to her farm. Dr. Coville investigated the rather specific soils (such as those of the Pine Barrens) enjoyed by blueberries (such as those of

NIGHT SKY

Feel the Force Searching for the universeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest power

o you love fireworks that let you get very close, like those coming up in Woodstock on Volunteers Day this August 20? At such pyrotechnics shows, the delay between each flash and the ear-splitting boom can be just a halfsecond, meaning that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re only two blocks from the detonations. In some of our regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s displays a few days ago, glowing debris virtually rained down on the crowd (which must, strangely, not include any overly litigious attorneys). These annual boomfests bring up the topic of power. Where is the universeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most awesome energy? And â&#x20AC;&#x201C; can we grab some? Right now, when days are longest, our impulse might flow in sync with the ancient Greeks and Egyptians. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the Sun.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good first guess. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking nuclear fusion. At a high enough temperature, four plain-vanilla hydrogen atoms fuse into one of helium. This always releases energy. The Sunâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s core emits 96 billion megatons each second: essentially 96 billion H-bombs, continuously. Amazingly, we figured out how to do that. The first time was in 1952, with a supercold liquid hydrogen colossus the size of a building. Our next H-bomb blast, in 1954, named Castle Bravo, used a solid hydrogen/lithium compound and yielded 15 megatons. This largest-ever US explosion surprised scientists. Their incorrect calculations made them expect â&#x20AC;&#x153;onlyâ&#x20AC;? a six-megaton blast. Early deliverable H-bombs, the Mark 17 and 24, each had the length of a living room and weighed 21 tons. By the mid-â&#x20AC;&#x2122;80s, megaton devices like the B83 weighed just a single ton. So we humans did indeed replicate the Sunâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s energy process. Yet all nuclear fusion has an efficiency of a mere seven-tenths of one percent. You know the universe can do better. Some stars emit the energy of 200,000 suns. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really more like nonstop explosions. Yet theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the minor leagues compared to supernovae. When the Crab exploded on the Fourth of July in 1054, it was as bright as a half-billion suns. Even now, long after the crowds have gone home, the crazy whirling of its tiny collapsed pulsar still manages continually to emit the energy of 75,000 suns. We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop there. We want tales of insane explosiveness. For that we must seek perfect efficiency: the total conversion of mass to energy. That requires the collision of matter and antimatter. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not science fiction. Las Vegas-type antimatter fountains spew like geysers from our own Milky Way. We observe its telltale gamma ray energy signature, the sure sign of positrons meeting electrons. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the 100-percent conversion of matter to energy. A single gram of mozzarella cheese, fully converted, could power a 100-watt bulb for 30,000 years. Any material is as good as any other. A dollar bill weighs one gram (a 20 would work too, but why go crazy?). Fully squeezing the energy from a single paper

species: lowbush, botanicallyÂ V. angustifolium.Â Dr. Coville and subsequent breeders have mated these two species, as well as a number of other species, with the goal of producing the elusive perfect blueberry (elusive to blueberry breeders, not to me; I like just about all of them). After passing field after field of cultivated blueberries alternating with dense woodland, I turned into the parking area of the Marucci Center for Blueberry and Cranberry Research & Extension to meet with USDA research geneticist Dr. Mark Ehlenfeldt. We looked at the fields of sandy soils formed into caterpillarlike mulched mounds, atop which were planted the bushes. We talked about the various

currency note could run a one-horsepower motor from 1500 BCE right through this Election Day. Given our proclivity toward misadventure, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably good that we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get our hands on much of it. Antimatter is insanely expensive. If you try searching Amazon, you might at first think you could get some. The search leads to the hopeful link, â&#x20AC;&#x153;antimatter in all departments.â&#x20AC;? But no. The problem is the unavailability of antiprotons, the core of any antimatter element. Europeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CERN thinks that they should be able to produce ten million antiprotons per minute. Sounds like a lot, perhaps, but when mated with positrons (anti-electrons),Â it would then still require 100 billion years to manufacture oneÂ gram of antihydrogen. NASA estimates that a gram of antimatter would cost $62 trillion. Buying generic doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help. Is any power greater? Yes: vacuum energy, also called Zero Point energy. This unseen power fills all of space. Some believe that a vacant pickle jar of empty space could boil away all our oceans in three seconds. Unfortunately, the disparity between its theoretical energy and what little hard data we have differs by 100 orders of magnitude. The Z-Point power discrepancy is so huge, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called the â&#x20AC;&#x153;vacuum catastrophe.â&#x20AC;? And catastrophe might indeed follow if we could figure out how to capture and exploit vacuum energy. So during this summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fireworks, we might remember that, yes, Homo bewilderus has learned how to make ever-bigger booms. But theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re baby burps compared to what the universe has hiding in reserve â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in each bit of seeming emptiness. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Bob Berman Want to know more?

species â&#x20AC;&#x201C; V. constablaei, V. darrowei, V. asheii,Â in addition to the previously mentioned highbush and lowbush â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that parented the various bushes. Best of all, we plucked fruit to taste from many different varieties, some of which I grow and others of which are new to me. A few new ones that really stood out for me were: Sweetheart, for its large size and excellent flavor; Caraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Choice, also with excellent flavor, in addition to pinkish flowers; Razz, a soft berry with a hint of raspberry flavor; and ARS 00-26, a small blueberry with a sweet wild-blueberry flavor. Two blueberry varieties that were very interesting, and perhaps tasty, were: Pink Champagne, with light-purplish skin that would put some people (but not me) off and good flavor; and Nocturne, whose fruits, as they ripen, go from pink to bright red to blue-black, making them very ornamental. Nocturne fruits allegedly have a unique flavor, sweet and somewhere between that of highbush and rabbiteye (V. asheii) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;allegedlyâ&#x20AC;? because they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet ripe, so I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to taste them. I did get a plant last year that is now ripening fruits, so I can soon vouch, or not, for their flavor. Two hours and many blueberries eaten later, I was on my way home. Note: Not all the varieties mentioned are currently commercially available.

On a negative note, I saw here today (June 29) the first Japanese beetles of the season: three on some grape leaves and four on some black raspberry fruits. I could just throw up my hands and brace myself for the few weeks of attack. Spraying pesticides is not an option; the beetles feed on hundreds of species. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have to spray just about everything here, including fruits ready to harvest, which is a no-no. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hoping that the beetles take the same tack they have for the past two years: a few showing up, and then, shortly thereafter, doing about-faces and leaving for the season. I have no idea why. Worst-case scenario is that they descend in hordes, in which case Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll remind myself that plants can tolerate a certain amount of damage, with remaining leaf area working harder to compensate for leaf area chewed away. Also, the beetles make their exit in August. I pulled the seven beetles that I saw off their respective plants, threw them on the ground and stomped on them. Not out of anger or meanness, though: Beetle feeding attracts more beetles. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want any invitations for their friends and relatives.

Search all the MLS properties in our region at www.WinMorrisonRealty.com I was setting up an open house on a local road near Woodstock. At the end of the road, at a busy 4-way intersection, I placed a directional sign, 3 small balloons, and an open house sign. Later, a woman drove up, threw my signs out of her car, and said that my signs were on her private property. I remained polite even though she was rude, and wrong. I went back and placed the signs on the shoulder of the road, far away from her lawn. She came out of her home and told me her property went out to the road (which it didn’t). So when you see an agent putting up a sign announcing an open house, welcome them. They are working for your neighbor and your neighWi nM or ris borhood. on
