Down-to-Earth art Hudson Valley Chalk Festival at New Paltz’s Water Street Market

A

fter a one-summer hiatus, the much-loved Hudson Valley Chalk Festival returns this weekend, transforming the asphalt of the upper parking lot of the Water Street Market in New Paltz into an eye-popping gallery of fabulous ephemeral art.

Sketching out their designs on Friday, July 22 and putting on the finishing touches on Sunday, July 24, 23 top professional street painters from around the world, along with 17 highly talented local artists, will create an imaginative array of designs.

The most interesting way to take in the Chalk Festival is to stop in multiple times over the weekend to watch the diverse HUDSON VALLEY CHALK FESTIVAL works-in-progress. You’ll see reproductions of Renaissance Artist Joel Yau at work icons and contemporary photographic masterpieces, 20th-century pop-culture renderings of real people. Favorites are often the three-dimensional works that seem to break right through the pavement.

The artists will be hard at work from 9 a.m. to dusk all three days (weather permitting).

While the Festival is in progress, you can enjoy live music on the lower level of the market and a great selection of food and beverage suppliers. A section of blacktop will be set aside and chalk provided for those who want to contribute their own creations; the “chalk car” will be back, and you and your kids are invited to deface it with impunity!

The Water Street Market is located at 10 Main Street in New Paltz, alongside the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail. On-site parking With Special is limited, so carpool if possible and be Guest Star prepared to walk a few blocks – or come by bike on the trail.

FESTIVAL

Riverborne reptilians Dutchess Dragon Boat Race & Festival in Poughkeepsie on Saturday

I

n Western literary tradition, dragons are scary, dangerous beasts, and awakening one is generally held to be an unwise move. But Chinese culture reveres dragons as wise, powerful protective spirits. And before a dragon boat race gets underway, the dragon heads that adorn their prows need to be “awakened” in order to purify the race site from evil influences and bring strength and blessings to the rowers. This is accomplished by literally painting irises onto the blank eyes of the dragon heads – ideally mixing a tiny sample of the local river water and shoreline earth into the pigment.

The Awakening the Dragon opening ceremony begins at 9 a.m. this Saturday at the Hudson River Rowing Association Community Boathouse, officially launching the third annual Dutchess Dragon Boat Race and Festival. Participating teams will then compete in the first of three 200-meter paddling sprints to determine which shall take home this year’s honors. The 40-foot-long craft are brightly decorated fore and aft to simulate river dragons, the oars representing their claws as they fly along the surface of the Hudson.

But this is a cultural festival as well as an athletic event, and there’s plenty to do onshore besides cheering for your rowing team of choice. Master Kwan returns for the third year to perform the Lion Dance for the opening and closing ceremonies.

Local artists will demonstrate and exhibit traditional Chinese arts, including “experiential stations” where you can try your hand at origami, kitemaking and calligraphy. Chefs will demonstrate how to make dumplings, spring rolls and other Chinese delicacies. For kids there will be puppetry and storytelling, and they can get their faces (or arms) painted with dragon designs.

Live entertainment will include Asian-style drumming and dance, plus a Western twist with the Roadhouse Roosters performing blues and rock. Food vendors will include Twisted Soul, the YumYum Noodle truck, Lemon Love, Nino’s Big Bite, Tea Talk, Reggae Boy and Carole’s Hot Dogs.

Free and open to the public, the Dutchess Dragon Boat Race and Festival is sponsored by Dutchess Tourism, with proceeds benefiting Arts Mid-Hudson and the Miles of Hope Breast Cancer Foundation. The event runs from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, July 23, culminating with the presentation of the Dragon Boat racing awards by Dutchess County executive Marcus Molinaro. The Hudson River Rowing Association Community Boathouse is located at 270-272 North Water Street in Poughkeepsie, just south of the Marist Boathouse.

Derek Dell i n g e r , brewmeister at the Kent Falls B r e w i n g Company in Connecticut, followed a growing interest in the process of fermentation all the way off the deep end, to a conclusion that a human could probably live on nothing but fermented foods and beverages. He set himself a daunting and improbable task: to spend an entire calendar year – 2014 – personally proving his hypothesis. His quest took him around the world, and resulted in a brandnew book: The Fermented Man: A Year on the Front Lines of a Food Revolution, just published by Overlook Press.

Part-memoir, part-science experiment, part-cookbook, The Fermented Man is a one-of-a-kind exploration into a world of food that is endlessly flavorful and complex. Dellinger, who lives in Beacon, will be taking his book tour to the Inquiring Minds Bookstore at 6 Church Street in New Paltz on Friday, July 29 for a 7 p.m. talk and signing. Admission is free. For more info, call (845) 255-8300 or visit www.inquiringbooks.com.

Talk on coexisting with coyotes in Woodstock It hasn’t been all that many decades since the top of the food chain in New York State was pretty much unpopulated except by Homo sapiens.

Remember the first time that you spotted a coyote wandering around in the Hudson Valley? Probably thought that it was an unusually mangy dog, or a grey fox whose legs were a tad too long. But there’s no mistaking that high lonesome howl in the distance.

The Eastern coyote has made such a strong comeback that our housecats might get eaten by one if allowed to roam at night. A successful hybrid sometimes referred to as the coywolf (genetically, roughly 64 percent Western coyote, 26 percent wolf and ten percent domestic dog), the Eastern coyote’s population now numbers in the millions.

Dan Bogan, a wildlife expert who studied Eastern coyote ecology and management at Cornell University, will introduce the history of Eastern coyotes, their behaviors, habitats and evolving ecology at a public event on Thursday evening, July 28, sponsored by the Woodstock Land Conservancy. Dr. Bogan is a lecturer in Environmental Studies at Siena College and a wildlife technician (research) with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation in Albany.

According to Bogan, “Learning more about the natural history of coyotes can help people understand their ecological role and the likely outcome of encounters with them.” His talk will outline recommended steps that help keep people and pets safe and reduce the likelihood of coyote/human conflicts.

The discussion will be held on Thursday, July 28 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Woodstock Community Center, located at 56 Rock City Road in Woodstock. A question-and-answer session will follow, and then light refreshments will be served.

Admission is free. For more info, call the Woodstock Land Conservancy at (646) 271-0821.

MOVIE

Leslie Jones, Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig and Kate McKinnon in the new Ghostbusters

Phantasmic four Superbly funny cast gives Ghostbusters reboot plenty of spirit

A

s a Baby Boomer, I can’t truthfully say that the original Ghostbusters movie was a precious icon of my comingof-age (though my ex-husband did get stuck in a traffic jam on Central Park West on account of an intersection being covered with fake marshmallow fluff for filming the climactic scene). I enjoyed the movie, certainly, and was aware of it becoming a bit of a pop-culture phenomenon. But being over 30 already in 1984, I guess I was just too old to take it personally that a director who isn’t Ivan Reitman and a cast who aren’t the original paranormal elimination squad would eventually have the temerity to do a remake. Lucky me: I thoroughly enjoyed Paul Feig’s reboot, and frankly don’t see by what stretch of the imagination it “ruins� the original, as had been widely predicted by an outraged faction of Gen X Internet troglodytes.

In fact, I’d go so far as to say that Ghostbusters 2016 is in some ways an

improvement on the original – and I don’t mean merely that the CGI specter spectacles are more technologically sophisticated. Whereas the original version, though written by Harold Ramis and Dan Aykroyd, was more of a star vehicle for Bill Murray than an ensemble piece, the new one is far more democratic in terms of what it gives its four principals to do. In fact, you’d be hard-pressed to determine which one is the “star.� And that’s all to the good, since the onscreen chemistry among Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones is unstintingly terrific.

The narrative starts – admittedly a bit slowly – from the point of view of Wiig’s character, Dr. Erin Gilbert, a physicist and notably nerdy dresser who’s up for tenure at Columbia University. But her intimidating boss (Charles Dance) gives her the boot when a book on the paranormal that she once wrote as a lark with a childhood friend, now Dr. Abby Yates (McCarthy), suddenly resurfaces on Amazon. She goes to read Abby the riot act (in her own nerdy way) and finds her old pal actively working on paranormal

research with a half-demented, jargonspewing engineer named Dr. Jillian Holtzmann (Kate McKinnon). Abby cuts a deal with Erin, offering to take the offending book back off the market if she will help the team investigate a reported haunting of a historic mansion.

Thus begins the movie’s first big supernatural set piece, which looks rather glorious and ends with the nascent ghostbusting team exulting that “Ghosts are real!� But it’s too late to save Erin’s job, so the trio sets up business upstairs from a Chinese restaurant (because they can’t afford the exorbitant rent on the original Ghostbusters’ firehouse). The mayor (Andy Garcia) and his staff miss no opportunity to discredit their efforts, and a bit of onscreen meta-fun is had at the expense

I’d go so far as to say that Ghostbusters 2016 is in some ways an improvement on the original

of those vociferous online critics of the announcement of the remake and its underwhelming trailer.

Business picks up nonetheless as the level of paranormal activity in New York City begins to spike, due to the conniving of Rowan Nor th (Neil Casey), a sociopath whose life’s ambition is to break down the veil between normal reality and the ghosts’ plane of existence. Before long the three ghost-hunters need to hire a receptionist; enter Kevin Beckman, who is hunky enough to make repressed Erin weak-kneed but absolutely as dumb as a box of rocks.

NIGHT SKY

Chances are...

Of lotteries and global destruction

A

caller on last week’s Vox Pop show on WAMC worried about Nibiru.

That’s the planet supposedly on a collision course with Earth. Like other wacky conspiracies making the rounds, this one insists that scientists and officials are keeping it secret.

Aside from the fact that astronomers are blabbermouths who wouldn’t know how to keep a juicy secret for three minutes, a quick way to dispense with such fearful notions merely requires a little math: What are the chances of an unknown planet crashing into us during our lifetime?

When applied correctly, statistics can deliver hard-drives-full of valuable revelations. Although not a particularly difficult subject, statistics is a discipline notorious for being misused either deliberately or through ineptitude. Then all sorts of mischief bubbles up.

For example, 39 percent of all auto accidents involve alcohol. This means that in 61 percent of accidents, the drivers were not drunk. So, logically, shouldn’t we first go after the people who cause most of the carnage, and get all those sober drivers off the road?

In reality, though they capture most of the headlines, accidents are responsible for only four percent of all US deaths. Compared with heart disease (31 percent of deaths) and cancer (23 percent), all else is relatively minor. The odds are 25-to-1 that you won’t ever die in any kind of accident.

Even after a typical lifetime of driving 15,000 miles a year for 50 years, your risk of eventually dying in a crash is just one in 88. Mile for mile, motorcycles are 18 times deadlier than cars, and bicycles are up there, too. In reality, all travel entails some risk.

The exact peril depends on how far you roam. In an entire lifetime, the average American walks 65,000 miles and rides about a million miles. This is unique to our time.

Because of the low understanding of odds and danger, some fear that their cruise ship might sink, or worry about radiation from nuclear power plants or Earth colliding with an asteroid, though none carry an actual risk worth a second thought. Paradoxically, many of these same arithmophobic worriers drive fast in areas rife with deer, neglect colonoscopies, spend money on lottery tickets or let themselves get 20 percent overweight.

The lottery. Let me share a new calculation: The New York Lotto, a typical pick-six

The New York Lotto, a typical pick-six game, has winning odds of one in 45,057,474.

including who died where under what dicey circumstances, along with the use of her undertaker uncle’s hearse. They all bicker and puzzle one another, but together they’re unstoppable – and funny as heck, tossing off one-liners and taking pratfalls on ectoplasmic slime-covered surfaces with aplomb and determination that are more than worthy of the original cast.

Predictably, the action builds up to a gigantic CGI-heavy battle that is somewhat less fun than watching these four talented comediennes just riff off one another,

though some of the special effects are pretty impressive. A looming line of haunted parade balloons is particularly spookylooking, and presents the opportunity for the giant Marshmallow Man of the original flick to put in a brief appearance. Original cast members Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Sigourney Weaver and Annie Potts also get cameos as well, but they’re basically fan service and don’t do

game, has winning odds of one in 45,057,474. That’s about half the interval between global cataclysms – meaning that Earth suffered widespread destruction 65 million, 200 million, 251 million, 364 million and 439 million years ago: roughly 90 million years between sudden major extinctions. So this year there’s only half the chance of Earth getting clobbered than of you winning the lottery.

Want more reassurance? There are 31,500,000 seconds in a year. Say it takes me one second to go “ah-choo” when I sneeze, and say I’ll sneeze just once in 2017. You win a big prize if you guess the correct second. Wherever you are, you must snap your finger during my sole 2017 “ah-choo.” Snap it a second early and you lose. Would you try it?

I don’t think so. Yet you’d have 50 percent better odds of picking the precise sneeze moment than of winning the Lotto.

Don’t know how I got started on this. I guess the point is: Don’t worry.

Ghostbusters 2016’s chaotic plot and overreliance on CGI are amply counterbalanced by great production values and an absolutely superb core cast who seem like they’re really jazzed by working together. If I had to single one out as a true find, it’s McKinnon, who’s not very well-known outside the Saturday Night Live audience. She infuses her

PIETRO MASCAGNI'S 1890 one-act opera Cavalleria Rusticana originated the entire verismo movement, a huge influence on Puccini.

The two composers were sometimes rivals, sometimes friends.

T

he Bard Music Festival opens this year with Mascagni’s Iris, an opera that has one of the most lurid tales ever set to music. It’s verismo (real-life opera) with a vengeance, the story of a young Japanese woman who is sold into sexual slavery and dies trying to escape. And there’s more: When she is kidnapped, her blind father thinks that she has abandoned him, goes searching for her and catches up with her as she is being auctioned off. Sounds like fun.

For the 14th year, the Bard Music Festival, two weeks in August, is preceded by an opera production, fully staged with full orchestra and even supertitles. These operas aren’t by the composer whose work is its center. But

world. His 1890 one-act opera Cavalleria Rusticana originated the entire verismo movement, a huge influence on Puccini.

The two composers were sometimes rivals, sometimes friends.

While “Cav” (usually performed today in a double bill with Leoncavallo’s Pagliacci) is the only Mascagni opera still in the basic opera repertoire, it was not always so. At one point in Italian opera history, Iris, the seventh of the composer’s 15 operas, was being performed more often than Cavalleria Rusticana. One of its arias was included in Enrico Caruso’s first recording session. Now it has become a serious rarity, never issued on video and seldom recorded. The Bard performances will be the first professional stagings of the opera in America for nearly a century.

Conductor Leon Botstein’s program notes explain that the fall into obscurity of this opera was caused in part by the great success of Cavalleria Rusticana, and also by the competition of another Oriental-themed opera, Madama Butterfly. He concludes, “Iris was in its time an experiment that sought to integrate naturalism with symbolism into opera, using the rich palette of turn-of-the-century chromatic harmony and orchestral sonority in combination with alluring and consistently stunning melodic vocal writing. The time has come to embrace the mysterious beauty and theatricality of Iris and extract the opera from the shadow cast by Butterfly and Cavalleria. Iris is among the finest and most compact Italian music dramas ever

Mascagni’s Iris has one of the most lurid tales ever set to music. It’s verismo (real-life opera) with a vengeance an awful lot of people.

She’s also in charge of supplying the production’s needs, dealing with publicity and numerous other tasks. “There are a lot of moving parts,� she says, “so you need someone in the center of it making sure the left hand is talking to the right hand.

But it’s such a wonderful cast and such an interesting piece that it’s a pleasure to be involved with it.� That cast includes soprano Talise Trevigne as Iris, along with mezzo-soprano Cecilia Hall, tenors Gerard Schneider and Samuel Levine, bass/baritone Douglas Williams (the villain, of course) and bass Matt Boehler.

For the five performances, Botstein is leading more than five weeks of rehearsals.

Kersh thinks that the effort is worthwhile. “It’s an exciting rediscovery,� she says. “I think Botstein felt that this piece is unjustly neglected. I didn’t know it and I’m very taken with it. So-called neglected masterpieces are usually neglected for good reasons, but Botstein has a genius for ferreting out pieces that were neglected for the wrong reasons.� “There’s always something we didn’t expect� when performances start, but Kersh is looking forward to being able to sit in the audience and watch the entire opera. “It’s very absorbing,� she says. “There are no longeurs where you’re wishing she would die already.� – Leslie Gerber Mascagni’s Iris, conducted by Leon Botstein, Fridays, July 22 & 29, 7:30 p.m., Sundays, July 24 & 31 & Wednesday, July 27, 2 p.m., $25-95, opera talk, July 24, 12 noon, free, Sosnoff Theater, Fisher Center Bard College, Annandale; (845) 758-7900, www.bard.edu/news/events.

Up the Hill, playing up the hill The Nathans bring their down-home songs of New Paltz to midtown's Moxie Cup on Thursday like the Nathans and their story. It speaks to the self-perpetuating power of partnerships and to the snowballing momentum of labor-of-love projects once they get rolling. Two New Paltz homies of a certain age jammed at a party one night; discovered a musical and personal affinity; felt impelled to follow up; began swapping songs and thinking about planning on trying to maybe

do something with them; reached out to some of the local pro players and producers they knew and admired; booked some studio time, and some more studio time, and a little more; and finally saw the sobering, grueling, doubt-fraught process of finishing a record all the way through to that “Hooray, what now?� moment when one fine and fully realized CD is in your hand and 999 more are in boxes around your feet.

The Nathans are the teaming of singer/ songwriters Rob Leitner and Jeff Cohen.

In the manner of the Go-Betweens, DriveBy Truckers and scarce few other 50/50 dual-songwriter groups, the Nathans’ debut record Up the Hill alternates strictly between writers/singers before closing with a pair of Cohen tunes. Such discrete, yours-then-mine-then-yours collaborations invite you – nay, practically require you – to appreciate differences between the writers. A lot of the fun of Up the Hill comes from the marked contrast between Leitner’s and Cohen’s songs and how a peaceable union is negotiated via arrangement, production and track sequencing.

Even though his songs are often structurally complex, Cohen is the Nathans’ folk/rock and folk/pop classicist.

Such sturdy, gruffly delivered tunes as the Sisyphean title track and the elegiacto-epic “Ashes to Ashes� aim for the clean lines, simplicity and populism of

traditional songcraft. Clearly a child of the Greenwich Village folk scene, Tin Pan Alley and the blues, Cohen is unafraid to go sociopolitical. Even at his most personal (“Show and Tell,� “Still Waters Run Deep�), there is still a formal composure and universality to his sentiments.

By comparison, Leitner comes off as a messier modern-rock mongrel. His songs betray a wild range of influences: Cat Stevens, Pearl Jam (the highlight track “These Four Walls�), some hooky DMB-style funky rock and a hint of Jethro Tull and British progressive folk/rock,

ALMANAC WEEKLY

especially evident on the 6/8 pirate-rocker “Chalk Noise.” A strong natural singer, Leitner’s vocal persona shifts from tune to tune, each time departing from the earthy consistency of Cohen’s. His lyrics are even more of a contrast to his partner’s: soul-searching, aspirational, cosmically inclined and baldly confessional. If you were told in advance that one of these two men was a professional psychologist, you might well pick the wrong one. (Actually, come to think of it, Cohen’s grounded and comparatively serene songs almost serve as therapist to Leitner’s feverish, rocking flights of externalized personal processing.)

This is a New Paltz joint through and through, from the photograph of the (locally) iconic Shawangunk Ridge on the cover to the NP Who’s Who that is the credit list. The Nathans tapped the multi-instrumentalist and New Paltz Rock founder Julian Baker to produce Up the Hill and oversee many of its Baroque flourishes. They recorded at Jason Sarubbi’s Split Rock Studio and employed the bassist and our Sweet Clementines bandmate Matt Senzatimore as the rhythm section. Black Horse Rider Tim Curtis-Verderosa contributes a big helping of the record’s sizzling “Taxman”-style guitar parts. To lend some folk finesse to several of his tunes, Cohen called on the string wizardry of Steve Bernstein of New Paltz’s beloved Bernstein Bard Trio.

Cohen’s able-fingered son Jonny chips in a few elegant piano parts as well.

Cohen’s buoyant folk singalong “Here in New Paltz” is as heavily and variously branded as Phil Mickleson’s work outfit: a Whitmanesque catalogue of local references and landmarks. One can almost imagine the duo going shop to shop in the village selling verse space in this song, $50 extra for a spot as a line-ending rhyme ($100 for the Bistro, ‘cause what rhymes with that?). Up the Hill is local in subtler ways as well. Leitner’s kiss-and-don’t-tell love song “Smile Smile Smile” gets at the insularity and concentrated energies of love in a small town in its own way, and I’d really rather not know what it is about.

Getting a record out is no small feat.

Doing it up good with layers upon layers of musical detail, savvy production moves and soaring, complex vocal arrangements on practically every song is another level of challenge entirely. But that’s the way to do it, or why bother? How many records do you get to make in your life? The Nathans have absolutely made one.

The Nathans perform a hometown show at Moxie Cup in New Paltz on Thursday, July 21 at 7 p.m. To date, the Nathans have not elected to make Up the Hill available online, so shows are the way to get hold of

The ensemble features Bernstein, the great rhythm section of Tony Scherr on bass and Kenny Wolleson on drums (famous for their work with guitarist Bill Frisell among others) and alto saxophonist Briggan Krauss.

In the mid-1960s, Dauner was a florist’s assistant from Port Ewen who toted a camera along with him on all his delivery runs, capturing images of historic neighborhoods soon to face the wrecking ball.

Taylor Mac brings to Powerhouse a wildly ambitious, multi-year project, A 24-Decade History of Popular Music, which charts the history of popular music in America from the nation’s founding to the present day.

Playwright Sarah DeLappe (winner of the inaugural Relentless Award, in honor of Philip Seymour Hoffman) comes to Powerhouse with The Wolves, a black comedy about the privilege and pain of nine American girls who just want to score some goals.

Crucible of creativity Powerhouse at Vassar presents The Wolves, A 24-Decade History of Popular Music and The Taming of the Shrew this weekend

L

ast year, in honor of recently deceased actor extraordinaire Phillip Seymour Hoffman, the American Playwriting Foundation inaugurated a competition called the Relentless Award – funded, interestingly, with the settlement from a libel suit by Hoffman and Foundation founder David Bar Katz against the National Enquirer. With a $45,000 purse, it’s the largest annual cash prize awarded to a playwright in recognition of a new play. The judges for 2015 included some heavyweight playwrights, including Eric Bogosian, Thomas Bradshaw, Lynn Nottage, John Ortiz, Jonathan Marc Sher-

man and Lucy Thurber. Two emerging playwrights shared the first year’s top prize, one of them being Sarah DeLappe for The Wolves.

Set for an August 29 world premiere via Playwrights’ Realm at the Duke on 42nd Street in New York City, under the direction of Lila Neugebauer (Wayside Motor Inn, 4000 Miles, Kill Floor), The Wolves is generating lots of buzz on account of the fact that it provides nine juicy roles for young actresses. It takes place during a warmup session for a girls’ indoor soccer team, whose conversation quickly spins beyond their will to win in a suburban sports match to the conflicts

Books & Booze group meets on Wednesday at Kingston’s Anchor We all have our favorite addictions, some of which are merely bothersome while others are downright out of control. If reading happens to obsess you (do you consume more than four books a month, for example, or do you ignore other obligations and responsibilities in order to bury your nose in a good story?), a new group in Kingston might just be the kind of support you need.

Books & Booze is the brainchild of avid reader and local resident Nicole Smith.

Launched in February as “Kingston’s first book club in a pub,” the monthly meet-up puts structure and conviviality into an otherwise-potentially-dangerous obsession. Just kidding, of course; reading is this writer’s favorite sport. I only call it an addiction when I’m broke but can’t seem to pass up a bookstore or a yard sale with a pile of books in view. Or when my bookshelves are overloaded and the stack on my night table hides the clock. Or when I’m standing on a curb with a sign that reads: WILL WORK FOR READING MATERIAL. I admit it: I’m hooked on books.

Seriously, though, coming together in a relaxed, fun atmosphere to talk about literature and life brings meaning to both.

And a glass of wine on the side is nice, too, so long as you can drive yourself home.

Smith says that about ten people show up for the last-Wednesday-of-the-month gathering. “Some of the regular members choose not to come if it’s a book or subject they’re not interested in. On the flip side, many come even if they didn’t finish the book, risking spoilers because they love the conversation the group brings.”

Titles are selected from suggestions from individuals in the group and from what’s currently trending. Smith puts out an online survey, and the group votes

TRADITION

Woodstock Library Fair this Saturday

F

or 85 of its 100-plus years in existence, the Woodstock Library has celebrated an annual Library Fair at which locals are offered “a new lens on their lives, a brief respite from the workaday world of commerce.” This year is no exception. With “Dreamworld” as a theme, the library and grounds will be transformed by volunteers from Friends of the Woodstock Library into an enchanting dream-come-true for the whole community.

Festivities kick off this Saturday at 9:45 a.m. with a Children’s Parade that will march from the upper Comeau parking lot to the Fair. Parents need to deliver their kids by 9:30 a.m. to participate. A Maypole dance comes next on the Library lawn, featuring Tracy Bonham on violin.

The Library proper will be closed during the Fair, which runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., to make way for a Food Fair of gourmet treats from area restaurants, summer grill delights and Lekker’s food truck filled with delicious delectables, beer and wine; thousands of used books for sale at rock-bottom prices in the Book Barn; rummage and white elephant sales; an exhibitors’ tent with local vendors and authors; children’s activities including Gerald & Piggie costume characters, hatmaking, dressmaking, face-painting, pony rides, a Bounce Castle and painta-car; and other “Fairtivities”: Buddha Boards, a Woodstockthemed crossword, dreammakers, dreamweavers and dreamtakers.

And it wouldn’t be Woodstock if a full day of live music weren’t happening, featuring the sounds of the Dave Leonard Dance Party, Mr. Roper, the Dharma Bums, the Dub Mob, Luise Mojica and a special tribute to his Dad by Ben Sebastian.

Each year, the Friends of the Woodstock Library honor a longtime Woodstock resident who has used his or her talent and energy to give back to the community. Woodstock abounds with people who devote their lives to others through their music and art and good works. This year the Friends are pleased to have chosen two such honorees: Sonny Rollins, a jazz legend and Medal of Arts and Kennedy Center Honoree, and songwriter, performer and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee John Sebastian. As members of the Woodstock community, they have each contributed in innumerable ways to support local causes and non-profit organizations. As world-renowned musicians, Rollins and Sebastian have impacted generations of music listeners and musicians. Rollins will be presented in the morning at 11:45, and Sebastian will be presented at 3 p.m.

And don’t miss the Woodstock Library Fair’s Great Expectations Raffle with these great prizes: a VIP Night at the Museum sleepover for four at the American Museum of Natural History, Midnight Ramble tickets, Woodstock vacation packages and dinner at the Rainbow Room. Tickets cost $5 each or five for $20, and are available for purchase at the Library and at the Fair. Ticketholders need not be present to win.

ith dozens of county and agricultural fairs taking place in the State of New York every summer, fairgoing folks have lots of choices. Do you follow your favorite entertainer or exhibitor? Do you go for the most raucous demolition-derby drivers around? Or will any nearby array of carnival rides and vendor demonstrations and live music do?

In Orange County, the 176th annual Fair opens on Wednesday, July 20 and runs through Sunday, the 31st. Some of the main attractions include the Fearless Flores Thrill Show, a petting zoo and jungle habitat, an antique firetruck show and free music every day in the John Lusardi Music Pavilion. Each night from 7:30 to 11 p.m., attendees can rock to the sounds of loud music from an awesome lineup including Will Hoppeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s One-Man Band, Side FX, the ARZ Band, the Carl Richards Band, Galea and the Galvanizers, Concepto Innovado, the Jeremy Langdale Band, Third Degree, Firebrand, the Brian Dougherty Band and Sue & the Blind.

For more traditional county fair activities â&#x20AC;&#x201C; indeed, the historical reason for such gatherings â&#x20AC;&#x201C; fairgoers can view the home exhibits of goods that their friends and neighbors have created by hand: Quilts, crafts, canned goods, flowers and hundreds of other items are on display to be admired by all and to be judged by a discerning panel of members of the Orange County Agricultural Society. And donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss that demolition derby, the flat-track motorcycle races and motocross extravaganzas to be held at the adjacent Orange County Fair Speedway.

Gate admission costs only $8 for adults, $5 for seniors, military and kids aged 7 to 12 years, free for kids age 6 and under; unlimited ride wristbands cost $25.

tirement Community is their story, cowritten and self-published last year – a humorous, slightly autobiographical account involving retired professors, a failing economic model and a grand solution: the growing and selling of medicinal marijuana.

“We have separate skill sets,” says Nancy Engel. “I was in publishing, and my husband was a psychologist. We’ve been married for 36 years and we always do everything together, so he worked on the outline and started writing. We developed the characters, and then went back and forth with the plot.” The story went through several revisions, she says, including the addition of more dialogue after the couple had friends do a live readthrough. “It was a homegrown process to get it written, printed and then to get the word out. It’s a good retirement project.”

Authors are always looking for unique and inviting venues in which to present their books. The Engels found a great one in Adair Vineyards in New Paltz. Adair will host a reading and book-signing, coordinated with a free wine-tasting event.

The Engels will read portions of their work at 1 and 3 p.m., each spot followed by a question-and-answer session with the authors. Copies of Einstein Meadows will be available at the reading for $12 per copy or $20 for two (plus taxes and fees).

Visitors are encouraged to bring a chair or blanket to relax on the lawn all afternoon, to meet and talk with the authors and enjoy the summer day. Wine by the glass will be available for $5. In case of inclement weather, the event will move indoors to the tasting room. Reserve your place for this free event at www.eventbrite. com/e/einstein-meadows-book-signingtickets-25880563462. And watch for information about the Engels’ reading at Inquiring Minds in New Paltz on Sunday, September 4 at 4 p.m. Adair Vineyards is open on weekends from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., now through October.

I’M ON YOUR SIDE March in the Parade premieres next Saturday at Rosendale Theatre

O

ver the past eight years, as High Falls-based author/arts administrator Edward Versailles has been tweaking March in the Parade: A Play with Music for Young Audiences, racial tensions in America have continued to mount. But tough times for race relations have only served to reinforce the playwright’s conviction that “the arts are one of the most effective ways to reach people (and especially the younger set), to change perceptions and to make lasting social improvement.” March in the Parade finally gets its world premiere next Saturday, July 30, with two shows at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. at the Rosendale Theatre.

Versailles and his collaborators and sponsors are hoping that scouts from schools, libraries and cultural centers will be on hand for this showcase presentation of what they hope will become a touring production – not to mention plenty of kids in the target 5-to-12 age range, along with their families. March in the Parade provides a handy way to broach some complex subjects with your kids, including race-based conflicts and the challenges that people face in learning to get along with other people who are in some way “different.”

“When you’re 8 or 9 years old, what could be more fun than riding your decorated bike in the Fourth of July parade with your best friend at your side? What if, in an angry fit, you accidentally tell her that you hate her and it drives your friend away?” asks a kid-friendly play description that could also serve as a class discussion or writing prompt. “Joey, a white boy, has got an even bigger problem. He told his best friend Antoinette, who happens to be black, that he hates all black people, too! What would you do? What would you do if you were Antoinette?”

March in the Parade’s “very hummable” jazz-flavored score for Versailles’ lyrics was composed by Harvey Kaiser. The play’s aesthetic style is minimalistic and the “fourth wall” comes down all the time as the audience is coaxed into participating in the songs. AnnChris Warren directs, with music direction by Andrea Shaut.

The ethnically diverse cast includes Elizabeth Thomas, Thomas Netter, Antique Mascara, Cheyenne See, Jennelle Liscombe and Jovan Bradley.

All tickets cost $5, purchasable in advance at www.brownpapertickets.com or by calling (800) 838-3006, extension 1. For more information, visit www.rosendaletheatre. org. The Rosendale Theatre is located at 408 Main Street in Rosendale.

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

Cagey solution Lee's black mulberries aren’t for the birds

F

inally, I reap the fruits of one of my labors, literally. The fruit is black mulberry – the species, that is, Morus nigra, rather than any of the black-colored mulberries that grow all over the place around here. The latter are species and natural hybrids of white and red mulberries (M. alba and M. rubra).

Black mulberry, native to the Mediterranean climate of western Asia, is not coldhardy below temperatures in the teens (Fahrenheit), so definitely not cold-hardy here. I first tasted it at a fruit conference in Davis, California, and it wowed me even from among bowls heaped high with fresh-picked apricots, peaches and other seasonal fruits.

I had to get a tree to grow, which I did (from www.whitmanfarms.com). The tree went into a pot with potting soil. As it grew, I moved it on into larger and larger pots, stopping at an 18-inch-diameter pot.

I figured that would be the largest pot I could muscle down the basement steps for cool winter storage, along with my figs and pomegranates.

The tree bore quickly, and the “East Coast” black mulberries were delicious – what few of them I harvested. Problem was that birds also found them delicious, a problem compounded by the fact that the berries are not at their best until matteblack and ready to be released from the plant at the slightest touch. The birds don’t wait that long.

Dead ripe, the fruits are so soft that they can’t help but stain your fingers.

(The stain was once used as a dye, called “murry.”)

seedling, grafted onto it a stem from my black mulberry and planted it in the greenhouse.

Mulberry trees can grow big – bigger than my greenhouse. My plan was to espalier the branches against the west wall of the greenhouse. The espalier worked as far as training the branches in an ornamental candelabra. The birds were kept at bay. The espalier did not work as far as bearing fruit, the reason for which I have no idea. I dug up the tree.

Dead ripe, the black mulberries are so soft that they can’t help but stain your fingers. (The stain was once used as a dye, called “murry.”)

My first solution to the bird issue was to plant the mulberry in the ground in my cool (as in temperaturecool) greenhouse, which is also home to some in-ground fig trees. Since mulberry seedlings pop up all over the place around here, I just dug up a

My original mulberry still grows in a pot and, despite its small stature, still bears good crops of fruit. A few weeks ago I saw advertised a walk-in temporary cage for protecting plants from birds (available from www.gardeners.com).

The cage arrived just as the first black mulberries were ripening. Within 20 minutes I had the various pole pieces joined to each other and to the corner brackets, and the net attached over the top and sides. At four-feet-by-four-feet and six feet high, the cage easily accommodates my mulberry – even another plant or two.

Every couple of days now, I unzip the door, enter mulberry paradise and carefully peruse the plant for dead-ripe berries. I exit with purple-stained fingers: success.

Another success this year has been eggplant. I’ve gardened for many, many years, and for many, many years wasn’t able to grow eggplants well.

Beginning gardeners are the ones who usually have greatest success with eggplant – not exactly beginning gardeners, but beginning gardens.

Flea beetles love to eat eggplant (leaves).

DEBORAH GOLDMAN | ALMANAC WEEKLY

Lee harvests black mulberries in a fruit-protecting cage

They pock the leaves with enough small holes so that only vigorously growing plants survive. Flea beetles rarely show up in a garden in its first year; but by the second year, they descend in hordes.

Hence the successes of beginning gardeners in their beginning gardens.

This year I tried controlling the beetles by spraying the plants weekly with “horticultural oil,” also called “summer oil,” which is a more refined and lighter version of “dormant oil.” I was mixing it up anyway to keep scale insects at bay on the greenhouse figs (more on that some other time). Long story short: The plants

ULSTER PUBLISHING SPECIAL SECTION

HEALTHY HUDSON VALLEY

Healthy Communities

W

hen it comes to our health we all want to beat the odds. How can the health and fitness of the region’s residents be improved?

Traditional educational methods attempt to persuade individuals to adopt personal lifestyle changes. In a hope to improve that outcome, local neighborhoods and communities are presenting initiatives to encourage residents to walk, skate or ride bikes. To encourage healthy eating there are local Farmer’s Markets to allow access to fresh produce and community gardens which are a wonderful way to teach children by participation. On-line resources post nutritional information of local eateries as well as educate residents on healthier food choices, portion sizes and how we as individuals need to become more responsible for our own health.

This year’s edition of Healthy Communities will highlight the relationship between the health of the people of our local communities and unique assets of which they feel the most proud. This will be an adventure on which we hope you will join us.

My sweet wife, Siddie, teased me that she began to doubt the existence of God after 3 years of being married to me (she was kidding, of course) but she holds my feet to the fire on many things and ethical decisions.

HEALTHY HUDSON VALLEY

Healthy Communities

W

hen it comes to our health we all want to beat the odds. How can the health and fitness of the region’s residents be improved?

Traditional educational methods attempt to persuade individuals to adopt personal lifestyle changes. In a hope to improve that outcome, local neighborhoods and communities are presenting initiatives to encourage residents to walk, skate or ride bikes. To encourage healthy eating there are local Farmer’s Markets to allow access to fresh produce and community gardens which are a wonderful way to teach children by participation. On-line resources post nutritional information of local eateries as well as educate residents on healthier food choices, portion sizes and how we as individuals need to become more responsible for our own health.

This year’s edition of Healthy Communities will highlight the relationship between the health of the people of our local communities and unique assets of which they feel the most proud. This will be an adventure on which we hope you will join us.

Oh, Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth! I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in this necessity. There are none that can withstand your power. Oh, show me herein you are my mother. Oh Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee (3x). Holy Mother, I place this cause in your hands (3x).

You who gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me and that in all instances in my life you are with me, I want in this short prayer to thank-you for all things as you confirm once again that I never want to be separated from you in eternal glory. Thank-you for your mercy towards me and mine. The person must say this prayer 3 consecutive days, the request will be granted. This prayer must be published after the favor is granted.
