GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

Putting down strong roots In which the author freely admits to being a turnip-head

L

ast week I described my foray into the New Jersey Pine Barrens, culminating in a visit to the US Department of Agriculture research station there to experience many new, interesting and tasty varieties of blueberry. The soils of the Pine Barrens, as I wrote, provide ideal conditions for the rather specific and unique requirements of this fruit.

That’s not to say that blueberries can’t be grown successfully beyond the Pine Barrens. In fact, they can be grown just about everywhere – if the right varieties

are chosen and the soil is amended to suit the plants. The soil here at my farmden, for instance, is very different from that of the Pine Barrens. Mine is a naturally rich silt loam that is slightly acidic; the Pine Barrens are naturally poor sands that are very acidic.

Both soils are well-drained, which is the first requirement for a blueberry soil.

The way to make soils that are less than perfectly drained suitable is to plant the bushes atop mounds or carry water away in ditches or in buried perforated pipes.

Next, acidity: The pH for blueberries

needs to be between 4 and 5.5, which is very acidic (and is what blueberry relatives such as rhododendrons and mountain laurels also demand).

I acidified my soil with elemental sulfur, a naturally mined mineral, before planting and do so periodically over the years, as needed. Many gardeners pile oak leaves or pine needles on their ground, or dig these materials into soil, to make a soil more acidic. That doesn’t do the trick; sulfur is what’s needed: three-quarters of a pound to two pounds per hundred square feet for sandy and clay soils, respectively,

for each unit of pH change needed.

Blueberries like their roots coursing through soils that are high in organic materials – not rich organic materials such as manure or compost, though.

Peat moss is good; I mixed a bucket full of peat with the soil in each planting hole when I planted.

To maintain, even increase, levels of organic matter over the years, the ground beneath my bushes, every year, gets blanketed with a three-inch depth of some weed-free organic material, such as autumn leaves, wood chips, wood shavings, sawdust, pine needles‌whatever I can get my hands on.

And finally, blueberries need water, especially when young. That initial dose of peat moss, along with yearly organic mulches, helps the soil hold moisture (in addition to many other benefits).

Oh, one more thing: Ninety percent of blueberry roots are in the top six inches of soil. Hence their need for moisture.

Those shallow roots also compete poorly with weeds. My 900 square feet of 16 blueberry plants is, essentially, a “no weed� zone, thanks to the mulch and occasional weeding.

The highest praise that I know of for turnips is in the novel Tobacco Road, when Lov Bensey walks seven-and-a-half miles to get a sack of winter turnips.

Pushing open the gate to exit the blueberry planting, I walk over and pull open the gate to the vegetable garden. There lies a beautiful (to me) row of sweet, succulent turnips: not just any old turnip, but the variety Hakurei, the best (to me, and many other gardeners and farmers).

Turnips are an underrated vegetable, perhaps because most that you can buy just don’t taste that good and because

NIGHT SKY

Secrets of the Juno spacecraft A very different kind of mission

L

ast week the space headlines were all about Jupiter. A billion-dollar spacecraft named Juno successfully fired its engine and went into orbit around the giant planet. NASA released its usual hype: that this mission may reveal the birth of the solar system!

They always do that. They know that many people will question spending one billion dollars to learn about a distant 1world. So the press release says that the mission will teach us about Earth, or the secrets of life’s origins, or about the birth of the planets. The truth is much simpler: Juno will feed us more information about Jupiter. Actually, that’s plenty good enough, and we’re all very excited.

It’s interesting to compare Juno to the previous Jupiter orbiter, Galileo, which completed its mission 13 years ago. Galileo had operated for 14 years, whereas Juno will be sent crashing into Jupiter to its destruction just two years from now.

Galileo had marvelous telescopic cameras that operated until the very end. By contrast, the “Junocam” was almost an afterthought. Radiation is expected to destroy it after just seven or eight orbits, and then no more snapshots. Moreover, it is incapable of imaging Jupiter’s giant moons, whereas Galileo focused much of its energy on those mysterious planet-sized satellites, at least one of which has a high chance of having life.

Instead, Juno will focus on the invisible parts of the spectrum. Its instruments will probe the ultraviolet, the infrared, the changing level of gravity and the giant planet’s awesome magnetic fields: all geeky stuff invisible to the eye. They will measure the pressure density below the cloud tops, and reveal the composition of its gases’ minority components. It may reveal whether the core of Jupiter is a small rocky ball or merely highly compressed hydrogen: more geeky stuff.

An unusual aspect is Juno’s solar panels, which have never been used this far away from the Sun, since sunlight is only four percent as strong there as it is here.

most that are grown in home gardens are not the best-flavored. The highest praise that I know of for turnips is in Erskine Caldwell’s novel Tobacco Road, when Lov Bensey walks seven-and-a-half miles to get a sack of winter turnips for 50 cents, which is half of his daily wage.

(Admittedly, he was starving.)

So here’s at least the second written accolade for the turnip. When a good variety is planted and it is well-grown, it is a sweet, flavorful vegetable excellent raw, pickled or cooked. The variety to grow is Hakurei and the way to grow them is in rich, well-drained soil with a steady supply of moisture, the latter of which mine get automatically via drip irrigation.

In the past I planted turnips only in late summer for a crop that ripened during the cool weather of autumn. This year I planted an early crop in the greenhouse; that crop was harvested and eaten by mid-June. I had plenty of seed and space later in spring, so I planted some outdoors then. We’re still harvesting that crop and, despite the hot days, the flavor is excellent.

(Cool nights might be helping to maintain flavor.)

Sometime in the next two weeks, I plan to sow seeds for fall harvest. Last year,

that crop, harvested before the weather turned too bitterly cold and the soil froze, went into wooden boxes for cold storage – first just sitting outdoors, then carried into the garage and finally carried down to the cool basement. The last of them, still tasty, were eaten in March.

NASA/JPL-CALTECH

This illustration depicts NASA's Juno spacecraft at Jupiter

The cameras on the two Voyager spacecraft were steerable. But the single Junocam is bolted to the spacecraft itself. If you want a picture of something, you’ve got to fire a thruster and move the entire 12-by-12-foot spacecraft. And those images have only somewhat better sharpness than the ones we get right here from Hubble. Specifically, we’ll get a resolution of ten miles per pixel. During each two-week orbit around Jupiter, the Junocam’s total image capability is just 40 MB. This isn’t a holiday picture-taking expedition.

A very unusual aspect is Juno’s solar panels, which have never been used this far away from the Sun, since sunlight is only four percent as strong there as it is here. Nonetheless the increased efficiency of solar technology this past decade has allowed the three panels, each measuring nine-by-29 feet, to generate 486 watts. Thus, for the first time, we have not used plutonium as the electricity-generating source. This is the first eco-friendly spacecraft!

Another novel aspect of this mission is the astonishing amount of radiation that the craft must endure. During each two-week orbit, Juno will zoom just 2,600 miles above Jupiter’s cloud tops, and do this 37 times. Every two years, you and I receive less than one Sievert of radiation. But in the same two years, Juno will be hit with 20 million Sieverts. It will be interesting to see whether the shielding for its electronics holds up.

No, Juno doesn’t have the capability to give us the pretty pictures that Galileo did, or reveal new secrets about its fascinating moons. Nonetheless, this should be a very interesting two years.

Woodstock benefit concert this Saturday for Why Can’t We Serve? documentary Here’s the good news: Openly transgendered people can now serve openly in the US armed forces. Here’s the bad news: People with disabilities – even from injuries sustained in combat – still cannot, except by very limited case-by-case exceptions. About 20 disabled American veterans per day commit suicide, often because they can’t find employment or feel that they no longer have a way to contribute to society. Marty Klein thinks that those statistics would likely change for the better if the Pentagon would enact a policy making it easier for disabled people, especially veterans, to transition into non-combat positions in the armed forces.

W

hat taken-for-granted local treasures are on your Hudson Valley Bucket List? Have you been to the Widow Jane Mine yet?

If not, you should seriously check out this mysterious Rosendale hideaway. It’s an easy stroll into the bowels of the Earth, with a flat floor, an underground lake that would serve as a nice retirement home for Gollum and acoustics that lure people to whom acoustics matter a lot, such as Pauline Oliveros, to make recordings. A remnant of Rosendale’s once-world-renowned cement-mining industry, Widow Jane is a crux point between the natural world and human endeavor where magical things can and do happen.

One of those magical interludes is scheduled for Sunday afternoon, July 17: the return of Taiko Masala for a concert of Taiko drumming. Imagine the cavern walls reverberating with the sound of traditional Japanese percussion, ranging from the giant 250-pound O-daiko right on down to the rattle of eight-inch handheld drums, all superbly choreographed under the direction of master drummer Hiro Kurashima.

The show begins at 3 p.m. on Sunday, July 17 as a benefit for the Century House Historical Society at the Snyder Estate, located at 668 Route 213, a little west of downtown Rosendale. Look for the iron gates adorned with a silhouette of the Brooklyn Bridge (whose underwater footings were famously made with sturdy Rosendale cement). Tickets cost $20 at the door.

Bring a folding chair and a light jacket, sweater or sweatshirt, even if it’s a 95-degree day up top, it will be refreshingly cool in the cave. Events happen rain or shine at the Widow Jane Mine. For more info, visit www.centuryhouse.org and www.taikomasala.com/home.html.

The first season for this new model of operation, incorporating yearround residencies, performances, and institutional partnerships, will run from July to December. The inaugural event being offered this Saturday, July 16 kicks off at 7 p.m. with one of MTA’s trademark Art-B-Q gatherings, followed at 8 p.m. by a spoken-word performance by DarkMatter, titled #ItGetsBitter. DarkMatter is the trans South Asian performance art duo Alok Vaid-Menon and Janani Balasubramanian. Expect poetry, comedy, fashion, storytelling and a purposefully chaotic mixture of all of the above as Vaid-Menon and Balasubramanian share stories of navigating the world as

If you ask them who is likeliest to be the next American to win the Nobel Prize for Literature (once it gets around to the US again, which may take some time), many of them will tell you without hesitation that it’s Joyce Carol Oates. If you’ve always wanted to meet a Nobel-winner-to-be, your chance has come, just as this issue of Almanac Weekly hits the newsstands: The distinguished author will be giving a reading on Thursday afternoon, July 14, at Woodstock’s Kleinert/James Center for the Arts, since the crowd that she is expected to draw would not fit into the Golden Notebook.

At age 78, Oates has finally retired from her 36-year professorial stint at Princeton University, but her legendary productivity has not slacked in the least.

She has four “latest” books to discuss on this tour: a short-story collection, The Doll-Master and Other Tales of Terror; two novels, Jack of Spades and The Man without a Shadow; and a memoir about her childhood in Lockport, New York, The Lost Landscape: A Writer’s Coming of Age. She has more than 40 novels under her belt, not counting the ones that she has, in her own words, “cheerfully thrown away.”

Oates is a five-time finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, was admitted to the American Academy of Arts and Letters in 1978 and has won the National Humanities Medal, as well as the National Book Award for her 1969 novel them.

Her short stories have earned her two O. Henry Awards and the PEN/Malamud Award. And although she established a formidable reputation as a “literary writer” early on, her recent forays into “postmodern Gothic” thrillers have won her three Bram Stoker Awards and a World Fantasy Award.

In other words, the Golden Notebook has scored an incredible coup in bringing one of the world’s most intelligent, prolific, skilled and imaginative writers to Woodstock. The event begins at 5 p.m. on Thursday, July 14, and admission is free. Purchasing a Joyce Carol Oates book from the Golden Notebook (www. goldennotebook.com/event/joyce-carol-oates) guarantees you admission; unreserved seats will be filled first-come, first-served. The Kleinert is located at 36 Tinker Street in Woodstock.

Also coming up for readers this week: Celebrity fashion designer Tracy Tynan will appear at the Golden Notebook at 4 p.m. on Saturday, July 16 to discuss her memoir Wear and Tear: The Threads of My Life.

haucer’s Pardoner in the Canterbury Tales was far from the only shyster peddling fake relics of saints in the Middle Ages: Long before the Internet made it easy for images of the Virgin Mary in a burnt grilled-cheese sandwich or Jesus on a rusting oil tank to go viral, people all over the Christian world have been reporting dubious miraculous visitations.

Here’s the gist of Tom Dudzick’s comedy Miracle on South Division Street, which opens on Friday, July 15 at Shadowland Stages in Ellenville: Clara Nowack and her three grown children reside in Buffalo, right next to a 20-foot-tall shrine of the Blessed Mother that commemorates the appearance of the Virgin at their grandfather’s barbershop in 1942. The shrine anchors the neighborhood’s religious beliefs, but when daughter Ruth, an actress, weaves the family miracle tale into a one-woman play, everything comes crumbling down with a deathbed confession. Directed by Shadowland’s producing artistic director, Brendan Burke, Miracle on South Division Street stars Jodie Lynne McClintock as Clara, Susan Slotoroff as Ruth, Kathy McCafferty as Beverly and Dan Mian as Jimmy.

Tickets cost $39 for evening performances, which begin at 8 p.m. on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, $34 for 2 p.m. matinées on Sundays and $29 for the First Saturday matinée on July 16, also at 2 p.m. Shadowland Stages, a gorgeously renovated Art Deco vaudeville theater where every seat is close to the stage, is located at 157 Canal Street in Ellenville.

American Tumbleweeds author Marta Elva to visit Inquiring Minds in New Paltz & Saugerties How does it come to be that nearly half of a nation founded as a haven for refugees – religious, political and economic – finds itself enticed by a presidential candidate’s promises to deport immigrants and build a wall to keep Others from getting in? Though the identity of the ethnic group to be vilified varies over time, the “I’ve arrived safely, now pull up the gangplank� mentality never seems to go away. And so novels about the immigrant experience in America continue to be relevant social commentary rather than quaint (or disturbing) reminiscences about the past.

Texas-based, Mexican-born TV producer Marta Elva has just published a novel called American Tumbleweeds, which depicts a family in crisis on the Mexican/American border, struggling to stay together as life and tradition collide with the social upheaval of 1960s America, as seen through the eyes of 14-year-old Inez. Elva will visit the two Inquiring Minds bookstores, giving book talks at 6 Church Street in New Paltz on Friday, July 22 and at 65 Partition Street in Saugerties on Saturday, July 23. Both events begin at 7 p.m.

Elva will discuss the process of writing and read selections from her novel. A question-and-answer session follows, with autographed copies of American Tumbleweeds available for purchase. Admission is free.

The Secret Life of Pets stretches a cute concept beyond the breaking point

hat summer brings to the Hudson Valley: heat, humidity and times when the only new cinema releases that I’d even contemplate going to see, for weeks on end, are kids’ movies. This is my third review in a row of “family fare,� and I hope that my Gentle Readers will forgive me for sounding a bit grumpy. Frankly, this fluff stuff is starting to wear thin.

The latest filmic offering for youngsters out of school for the summer is The Secret Life of Pets, which sounds better as a 30-second elevator pitch than it works out onscreen. I’m sorry to report that if you’ve seen the trailer, you’ve already seen all the best bits of this new offering from Illumination Entertainment (the animation studio behind Despicable Me and Minions). What pets do once we leave the house, we are told, is mostly party hardy with one another and make glorious messes, which somehow miraculously clean themselves up by the time we get home.

Great concept for an animated short, but alas! Directors Chris Renaud and Yarrow Cheney and screenwriters Brian Lynch, Cinco Paul and Ken Daurio got it into their heads that this cute conceit would sustain a whole movie, if they packed enough breakneck chase scenes

mise-en-scène go unseized in favor of populating the frame with hundreds of sorry-looking abandoned pets. It would’ve been more fun to visit a Steampunk/ Gothic “Manhattan Belowâ€? to match the terrifying London Below of Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere.

But hey, it’s just a kids’ movie, right? The Secret Life of Pets does boast a talented cast of voice actors, also including Albert Brooks, Dana Carvey, Steve Coogan, Jenny Slate, Lake Bell, Bobby Moynihan, Hannibal Buress, Tara Strong, Chris Renaud, Michael Beattie and a tiny cameo from Laraine Newman. It’s not the worst way that you could escape from a muggy July day in the mid-Hudson, especially if you have kids around who need diverting (and don’t wig out when they’re overstimulated). But don’t see it until after you’ve already done summer’s classier “family� screen offerings, The BFG and Finding Dory.

to avenge themselves on humankind, are the characters who do most of the chasing in the aforementioned surfeit of chases. They’re not a bad concept at all, though native New Yorkers may find it odd that only one of them is an alligator.

And the movie gets downright bizarre at times – notably a hallucinatory sequence featuring a chorus lines of sausages in a hotdog factory that seems designed to appeal to moviegoers under the influence of controlled substances. There were definitely moments when my college-aged companion and I turned to each other in the dark theater whispering, “What was that, that just happened?�

Animated films always offer at least some appeal insofar as they push the envelope of what can be accomplished with the rapidly improving tools of that particular technology-driven artform.

While not groundbreaking visually, The Secret Life of Pets depicts aboveground New York City with a cheery candycolored palette, including a stunning aerial view of a Central Park dreamscape where I would happily dwell forever.

into the middle. It doesn’t, really. And said chase scenes are the movie’s biggest problem. It’s way too hyperkinetic, never leaving enough time for the potential emotional resonance of pets forcibly separated from their owners to sink in before the next mad pursuit begins.

It doesn’t help (though the littlest moviegoers won’t mind) that the story is terribly derivative. The conflict that kicks off the furry odyssey is ignited when Katie (Ellie Kemper), the beloved owner of Jack Russell terrier Max, a/k/a Tiny Dog (Louis C. K.), brings home a rival for her affections; an overbearing slob of a Newfie named Duke (Erik Stonestreet). Sheriff Woody, meet Buzz Lightyear. The constant peril of the Animal Control patrol to the two lost dogs is a riff that was played much more skillfully (and succinctly) in The Shaun the Sheep Movie; Secret Life even steals Aardman Animation’s gag of having the scariest animal in the dog pound wear a Hannibal Lecter mouthguard.

That’s not to say that The Secret Life of Pets doesn’t occasionally stray into narrative territory that borders on originality; the law of averages would have it so. The Flushed Pets, a sewerdwelling fraternity of animal rejects sworn

hinking of taking some art classes, but reluctant to make a financial and time commitment without knowing more about course content and the instructor’s approach? This Sunday, the Woodstock School of Art has something just for you: the return of “Dollar Days,” when potential students can get a sample of its regular instructional offerings for just $1 per demonstration of technique and subject matter.

The special event runs from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Sunday, July 17. In Studio 1, Les Castellano will demo “Drawing & Painting from the Figure” at 9:30 a.m.; Emilie Houssart will do the same for “Classical Figure Drawing Workshop” at 12 noon; Christie Scheele will preview “Abstraction & Narrative in the Landscape,” “COLORCOLORCOLOR” and “Interpreting the Landscape in Oil and Pastel” at 2:30 p.m. In Studio 2, Wendy Hollender will offer a taste of “Drawing the Fall Bounty” at 9 a.m.; Jenne M. Currie demos “Cut & Painted Paper” at 11:30 a.m.; and Staats Fasoldt previews his three weekly “Watercolor & Drawing” classes at 2 p.m.

In Studio 4, Kate McGloughlin introduces her two weekly “Printmaking” classes, plus “Monotype II,” “Simplifying the Landscape II” and “Works on Paper” at 10 a.m.; Anthony Kirk presents “Making Monotypes with Water-Based Media: A Non-Toxic Approach to Printmaking” at 12:30 p.m.; and Karen Whitman offers “Black & White Linocut: Exploring Texture, Value, Contrast” at 3 p.m. Since three demos will be going on at any one time, it looks like the toughest initial choice will be deciding which to sample among this embarrassment of artistic riches!

The Master of Fine Arts program at Bard College is structured on a “lowresidency” calendar wherein students are on campus for an eight-week-long summer session and work independently through the rest of the year. It’s during this summer residency that current candidates for degrees present a finished product – a thesis exhibition – to the Graduate Committee, the college and to the community at large. The show is the culmination of three years of immersion in their individual areas of study. This year’s group of candidates, the Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts Class of 2017, will show these individual and unique works at the Bard College Exhibition Center/UBS Gallery, from July 16 through 23.

This Saturday, an opening reception will be held to celebrate the accomplishments of the 23 candidates. In fact, the group has chosen to title their exhibition “Twentythree-Some” in recognition of the cohesive, communal sort of environment that Bard’s MFA program provides for students. The interdisciplinary nature of the program is described as one of “broad intellectual and artistic concerns… [which] call for, and create, a context of critical support and respect that extends beyond professional boundaries and categories” from students and faculty alike. Most importantly, students are exposed to and interact with subjects and methodologies outside their own areas of interest.

Students’ thesis work developed in six different concentrations – painting, photography, sculpture, writing, music/ sound and film/video – will be shown this month. In painting, the list of candidates includes Michele Abramowitz, Amanda Friedman, Maryam Hoseini, Ryan Lucero, Annabeth Marks and Tran Truong. In photography, it’s Phoebe d’Heurle, Hadi Fallahpisheh, Judith Kakon, Megan Plunkett and Carmen von Kende. In

in curating through another gallery or museum. Grant and Long talk about applying to co-curate this exhibition.

“It’s quite a big job,” says Grant. “We have six weeks to transform UBS into an exhibition space and curate the candidates taking part in the show. It’s an intense schedule, a big job for any curator. It’s an experiment to co-curate it. We’ve been able to achieve a level of cohesion across certain aspects not actually expected from the MFA format. We’ve gone through different procedures and pushed dialogue.

“Every show is different every year. Each year candidates form their own identity.

The students are putting forward their own offering, and what you’ll walk away with is the experience of how people work together in a group.”

2017 MFA candidates have also produced their own exhibition catalogue with each student contributing work, which will be available at the show.

“The standard of these students is unbelievable” says Grant. “They’ve really excelled themselves in terms of turning out amazing work.”

Gallery hours are Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Parking is available in the lot at 7401 South Broadway and on Garden Street, and shuttle reservations from the Rhinecliff Amtrak station can be arranged for the opening event by calling (845)

Laszlo Andacs photo exhibit opens on Saturday at Roost Gallery in New Paltz

Laszlo Andacs' Airplane in the Rain, 2016, digital photo on airplane fuselage, 30"x40"

Hungarian-born Laszlo Andacs’ photographic portfolio includes shots

of people and places, architecture and interiors, animals and nature. It’s rumored that he moved to the Hudson Valley to shoot airborne-in-flight videos of skydivers in singles and groups doing stunts, smiling as they plunge through the stunning blue heavens to land on the equally stunning green landscape. A visit to Laszloimage Professional Photography online (www. laszloimage.com) will give you an idea of the breadth (and height) of his interests. A member artist at The Roost Gallery in New Paltz, Andacs now shares his work in an exhibition titled “Variation, Relations and Photo Construction.”

Printing images on a variety of media, including metal, glass, wood, fabric and paper, he attempts to relate the subject of the photograph to the medium, using production techniques that “push the boundaries of traditional photography.”

In a recent show, for example, an image was printed on a piece of metal fuselage attached to wood. Another piece is transparency film mounted on parachute fabric with added harness material.

“The show’s title refers to the idea that with most of the photos, the way to display is connected to the material: glass with wood behind it, a reflected building from New York City printed onto the glass.

Almost all of them hang on the wall except one piece: a wingtip of an airplane riveted together and bolted onto wood. Using a professional inkjet printer with multiplesized slots to feed the medium, Andacs can print on rigid sheets up to two millimeters thick. It’s a method that he was inspired to experiment with after seeing the works of landscape photographer G. Steve Jordan.

At the Roost Gallery, Andacs will show a smattering of images from his unconventional work. Viewers should expect the unexpected from Saturday, July 16 through Sunday, July 31. Regular gallery hours are Thursday through

11 Sunday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. and by appointment by contacting (845) 2195681 or e-mailing laszloimage@yahoo. com. Come to an opening reception for the artist at the Roost this Saturday from 7 to 9 p.m. and meet the pro.

TASTE Piously piquant Our Lady of the Resurrection Monastery in Lagrangeville hosts Vinegar Festival this weekend

B

rother Victor-Antoine d’Avila-Latourrette is a Benedictine monk who cofounded the Our Lady of the Resurrection Monastery in Lagrangeville nearly 40 years ago. Not long after, while poring over old monastic documents, he came across a vinegar recipe dating to the Middle Ages. Brother Victor already knew the vinegar-making process from his childhood growing up in the French Pyrenees, where they commonly turned their old wine or cider into vinegar; but something about this recipe lit a spark within. He experimented with its ingredients, finding contemporary substitutes to replace the archaic components, and began making vinegars

that are now highly sought-after for their intensity of flavor and their purity, made with locally produced organic wine without sulfites or chemicals.

The vinegars can sometimes be found at local farmers’ markets or gourmet shops, but for the most part, one has to go to the Our Lady of the Resurrection Monastery in person to purchase the tasty fermentations. The monastery doesn’t run an online store, and there is no mail-order business. There isn’t even a telephone number to call. The Atelier Saint Joseph shop on the site opens every Sunday from 2 to 4 p.m. to offer the vinegars and other handcrafted consumables for purchase; but other than that, one has to attend either the Christmas Craft Fair held after Thanksgiving every year or the annual Monastery Vinegar Festival in summertime.

This year’s festival will be held this Saturday and Sunday, July 16 and 17 from

Taste

11 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day. The monastery is located at 246 Barmore Road in Lagrangeville, approximately five miles south of Millbrook. Admission is free.

The event is a pleasingly low-key affair, suitable for a monastery, offering the unique opportunity not only to visit such a place, but also to sample and purchase the only organic artisanal vinegars produced in the Hudson Valley using an ancient monastic recipe dating to the Middle Ages.

The festival will also feature other food products from the monastery farm, gardens and kitchen, including tapenades, pestos, chutneys, apple butters and applesauce, relishes, dried herbs and tonics. Other available items include plants, books, food, crafts and artwork from the monastery, local artisans and farmers. Cash and checks only are accepted.

Living off the bounty of the land is true to the spirit of the monastic life of

work and prayer. “We don’t beg for our living; we work,” Brother Victor says in a video made last year about The Monk Who Makes New York’s Best Vinegar.

And since vinegar is made out of leftover products, he adds, it also answers to the monastic principle of life that “We don’t waste anything, we utilize everything.”

A group of dedicated volunteers helps to keep up with demand for the vinegar. It takes time and patience to conduct natural fermentation; as Brother Victor says, “We do the preparation, and the vinegar makes itself.” Being a naturally fermented product, the vinegar contains healthful probiotics that help digestion and is more intensely flavored than commercial distilled vinegars. Corporations have offered to buy out Brother Victor’s vinegar operation, but he has always declined, preferring to remain small and keep the high quality of small-batch production.

Vinegar varieties that will be available at the festival include red, white and rosé wine vinegars as well as apricot, raspberry, apple cider, cider honey and a rare sherry vinegar available in limited quantity. New to this year’s festival will be two new varieties: a beer vinegar and cherry wine vinegar.

The process of making the vinegar begins at a slow boil, literally. The base is infused with blends of fruit, herbs and spices; the liquid stands for 24 hours before being transferred into glass jars containing one or more “mothers” needed for fermentation. The “mother” is a viscous blob of cellulose, microorganisms and other sediment filtered out of a previous batch that converts the alcohol into acetic acid, turning wine into vinegar. As

With the Culinary Institute of America, an abundance of farmers’ markets and restaurants hidden in even the most rural reaches, it’s a good place to eat. What some locals may not realize, however, is that it’s also the location of a fleet of food trucks, many of which are affiliated with the Hudson Valley Food Truck Organization.

WILL DENDIS | ALMANAC WEEKLY It’s “not an official organization,” says Pierre-Luc Moeys, founder of the group and owner of Lekker (a Dutch word The next Hudson Valley Food Truck Festival will take place on Thursday, July 21, next to the Kiwanis Ice for “delicious”) in Stone Ridge. Rather, he says, the Facebook Arena at Cantine Field in Saugerties. Kyle Esposito and the Backburners will perform. page serves as “a forum for food trucks and for people who try to avoid having too much of the same item. For participating trucks, “There’s want to know what we are up to.” When Moeys had the idea for the page in 2012, his friend Mark Roper of ’Cue BBQ wanted to help. Since then, the group has grown a minimal fee that goes straight to the performers.” and, says Moeys, “every year we get more trucks. It’s finally caught on.”

Those performers include a unique musician for each festival, as well as local Moeys believes that food trucks benefit both the sellers and the consumers. “I band Mister Roper and Miss 360, a hula-hooping entertainer who Moeys says is think what most people say is that it’s a lot cheaper,” he says, referring both to the always surrounded by a group of 30 to 40 kids learning how to hoop. The field also lower costs of operating a food truck and the generally less-expensive food that has a playground, helping to make the festival a family-friendly event. It’s not just they offer. He describes the trucks as a “one-man show” with flexible menus and for families, though, and the beer garden stocked with local microbrews makes it locations. an appealing casual hangout.

“We started the fest with the idea that nobody does anything on Thursdays….

Not all of the food trucks are standalone businesses, however. Moeys notes that some of them – like Lekker and ’Cue – have “brick-and-mortar” establishments.

Weekends are so busy,” Moeys he says, referring to the bustle of tourists visiting the For the restaurants, the trucks function as “a sort of mobile advertisement. We do Hudson Valley in the summer. The Festival, by contrast, is “a community-minded event that’s more for the locals.” It’s a way for people to “fill up an empty night,” a lot of festivals, a lot of weddings.”

Among those festivals is the organization’s own Hudson Valley Food Truck Festival. says Moeys, with music, good food and time spent with friends.

This year, the Festival is taking place every third Thursday of the month through – Fiona Steacy October outside the Kiwanis Ice Arena in Saugerties. The core group of trucks Hudson Valley Food Truck Festival, third Thursday of the month, May-October, consists of ’Cue, Lekker, Slidin Dirty, Kona Ice, Black Eyed Suzie’s, Pippy’s Hotdog 4-9:30 p.m., Kiwanis Ice Arena, Cantine Field, 6 Small World Avenue, Saugerties; Truck and Black Forest Flammkuchen, but there are always more in attendance. www.facebook.com/hvfoodtrucks.

Taylor, Mark Dresser, Henry Grimes and Oliver Lake. He is the recipient of commissions from the Jazz Institute of Chicago, Chamber Music America and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, among others. And he performs so continuously that he refers to New York City as “the place he pays rent.”

The promise seems to exist in the artist’s ability to translate impressions of contemporary life into work that evokes eternal ones. Having studied maqam in Baghdad and Europe, gaining firsthand exposure to the rich musical culture of his paternal ancestors, he presented Crisis Suite at the 2013 Newport Jazz Festival in an emotional premiere that inspired a standing ovation after just the first piece.

ElSaffar composed the suite following a year spent living in Egypt, where he witnessed the Arab Spring protests, and in Lebanon, where he worked with Syrian musicians who were living through their country’s civil war.

He’s a composer who straddles two worlds of musical convention, embarking on a very unconventional path and joining them in a form that embraces innovation.

“The music is certainly a commentary or reaction to the present and more distant past in Iraq and the Middle East, and the relationship between Western and Middle Eastern cultures. The music is an emotional and abstract reaction: a If you own a wooden garage door, you have your hands full!!!

July 14, 2016 way through my own experience of what happened in Iraq and Syria and Egypt in recent years, as an Iraqi American living between the two cultures and existing in both, but not belonging entirely to either at the same time.�

I ask how his musical imagery is able to communicate such a concept, especially to Western sensibilities. And what sort of reactions does he get from people still very attached to their cultural roots? “I haven’t actually performed in Iraq since 2002,� he says, “but there are a number of Iraqis who have written to me on Facebook, who have heard my music through the Internet, and it seems to resonate with them. My teacher, who is an Iraqi maqam specialist – rather a purist in his own way – loved

the combination and the mix. I didn’t expect him to because he doesn’t like a lot of innovations within the tradition. He really enjoyed hearing the tradition that he knows so well filtered through a jazz context.�

Meanwhile, Iraqi communities in the US have embraced the music, ElSaffar says. “When we do traditional maqam that they know really well, it conjures memories from their childhood and the past, and a collective memory of Iraqi history of a place and time that no longer is. It’s a very intense emotional experience. When we do the new stuff, some people really take to it, especially younger people. It’s like they’re hearing their own tradition, but amplified. So it’s exciting, more

“I’ve noticed people hear into it what they know. When we perform live, the Arabs in the audience seem to tune into one layer, which is an Arabic flavor, and the jazz listeners tune into the free jazz and adventurous elements. There’s a dichotomy within the music, and some people resonate with one, and the other is an added flavor.”

I hope to bring that group to Woodstock one day.”

istory makes strange bedfellows. Back in the ’70s, not many people would have identified a real simpatico or scene affinity between the soft folk/rock Surrealists America and the swank souland jazz-inflected groove-pop of Michael McDonald, who resuscitated the Doobie Brothers (while estranging them from their Hell’s Angels’ core demographic) and who was the first-call celebrity background vocalist of the era, the unmistakably rich and bearded timbre of his voice popping through the mixes of Steely Dan, Christopher Cross, Little Feat and many more. But here we are: They were both popular in the ’70s; therefore, they must be friends – like the Clash and Foreigner.

America and Michael McDonald perform at the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts on Sunday, July 17 at 7 p.m. Tickets cost $48.50, $84.50 and $94.50 for reserved seating. For tickets and more information, visit www.bethelwoods. The Bethel Woods Center for the Arts is located at 200 Hurd Road in Bethel.

Bardavon to host Men at Work's Colin Hay on Friday

Wynton Marsalis to perform at Bard Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Summer Jazz Academy at Bard College in Annandale is the premier high school program for advanced high school jazz students, and Wynton Marsalis is, as ever, on-site and hands-on. This two-week program, designed and instructed by Marsalis and a select team of faculty, serves as a rigorous training institute on the Bard campus in Annandale-on-Hudson for 42 of the most advanced and dedicated high school jazz students (grades 9-12). Students apply by audition and participate in one of two Big Bands and multiple performing small combos, receive private lessons and experience classes in aesthetics, culture, history, performance practice and pedagogy. In addition

to this educational component, the institute will also present several public performances featuring the student combos and Big Bands, along with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis, at Bard College during the summer of 2016. Part of the program is showing the kids how it is done. On Saturday, July 23 at 7 p.m. and the following Sunday at 2 p.m., an allstar octet led by Marsalis performs at Bard College’s Olin Hall. The band features trumpeter Marcus Printup, saxophonist Ted Nash, trombonist Vincent Gardner, pianist Helen Sung, guitarist James Chirillo, bassist Rodney Whitaker and drummer Ali Jackson. Tickets cost $50. For tickets and more information, visit http://fishercenter.bard.edu/ jazzatlincolncenter.

Jason Aldean to play Bethel Woods on Thursday Since 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. His six full-length releases since 2005 have all registered one tier of platinum or another, in an era in which that metric really means something. He also won the coveted Entertainer of the Year award at the 2016 Academy of Country Music Awards. With songwriter Thomas Rhett and the band A Thousand Horses opening, Jason Aldean brings the Six-String Circus tour to the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts on Thursday, July 14 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets cost $89.50 for reserved seating, $39.50 for the lawn.

A strong candidate for two-or-threehit-wonder status, Men at Work’s instantly recognizable singer/ songwriter Colin Hay has turned out to be anything but. 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 stillbeloved 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) 4732072; at the Ulster Performing Arts Center box office at 601 Broadway

Beach Boys & Temptations play Bethel Woods on Friday Brian Wilson has his dates, and the long-running current incarnation of the Beach Boys led by founding members Mike Love and Bruce Johnston has theirs. The hipsters and record-counter musicologists will of course gravitate to the former, whereas the latter suits regular folks in search of a summer beach party just fine. The Beach Boys, in a starstacked, hit-laden double bill with the Temptations, perform at the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts on Friday, July 15 at 8 p.m. Tickets range from $118 at the high end to $36 for lawn, with many stops in between.

The Feelies at 40: It makes you feel old, but it is true. The most famous musical export of Hoboken and a genuinely important group in the history of alternative rock, the Feelies have been seen around here a number of times in recent years, playing at BSP and at Helsinki Hudson.

From early summer through mid-September, art exhibits and performances will be presented, including two weekends of live performances on July 15 through 24, featuring music, dance and author readings.

An opening reception will be held on the grand front porch of St. Margaret’s from 5 to 7 p.m. on Friday, July 15. Guests are encouraged to bring a blanket, listen to live music, enjoy snacks and fare from local establishments and tour the grounds and interior of St. Margaret’s.

The Nineteenth Hole Opened the same year this stately, very well situated, 4-bedroom vintage Victorian home was built (cir. 1890) on two acres and is adjacent to the Lazy Swan Gold Course in Saugerties, NY. This home has views of the Catskill Mountains from the front of the home, and views of one of the finest golf courses in the Hudson Valley (Lazy Swan) from the back. This home just needs TLC to bring it back to its original glory. The large living room has finished hardwood floors; some of the original trim and moldings provide a great start. The location is prime, only a few minutes from the New York State Thruway exit 20, the Village of Saugerties, close to Woodstock and Catskill.

I’ve always believed that you can’t start the next chapter of your life if you keep re-reading the last one. Buddha said that holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it as someone else; you are the one that gets burned. Now I’m not a Buddhist, but he could not have been more right on! Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind. I try to imbue my agents with those thoughts and feelings.

If you’ve had a hard day, don’t look back and rehash it, never forget that stressed is desserts spelled backwards! Remember that if you make it so, tomorrow can be a wonderful day.
