Leaving the house can be a wild ride...
Summer’s midway point Ulster County Fair in New Paltz August 2 through 7
The first week in August is almost upon us, and you know what that means: The venerable Ulster County Fair will be returning to the Ulster County Fairgrounds, just west of New Paltz. Six Flags over the Wallkill it ain’t, but the Ulster County Fair offers all the wholesome sorts of entertainment that one expects from such an event: competitions for the healthiest-looking, bestgroomed cow or goat or rabbit or hen, or the tastiest pie, pickle or preserve; thrill rides and games of chance; horse shows and tractor pulls; racing pigs, chainsaw artists, a juggler and a petting zoo. There are food trucks galore, not to mention those gloriously thick milkshakes prepared by teenage 4-H Clubbers to raise funds for their activities. Opening Day, Tuesday, August 2, is Carload Night, with up to eight people per car admitted for $40, beginning at 4 p.m. Wednesday night brings a fireworks display, and on Thursday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., seniors get in free. Live music performances in the Entertainment Area will include Hot Rod on Tuesday, the Cadillac Three on Wednesday, Lee Greenwood on Thursday, Branch and Dean on Friday, Courtney Cole on Saturday and Craig Wayne Boyd on Sunday. Other than Tuesday, the Fairgrounds open at 10 a.m. and the rides begin operation at 11. The gates close at 10 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday, 12 midnight on Friday and Saturday and 8 p.m. on Sunday. Your $15 wristband gets you into all midway rides, shows and entertainment for the entire day, and parking is free.

UFO Conference in Kingston Just when you think life could not get weirder…you see an unidentifiable light in the sky, or a crop circle appears in the fields of a farm that you pass every day on your way to work. Or (no direct experience aside) your lifelong fascination with inexplicable phenomena gets whetted by the gathering of serious minds to talk about such things. The gathering is the Kingston UFO Conference, to be held Friday and Saturday at Quality Inn & Suites in Kingston. The “things” to be discussed include sightings, sites, cover-ups and other historically curious events, all presented by expert researchers and theorists.
Opening Day, Tuesday, August 2, is Carload Night at the Ulster County Fair, with up to eight people per car admitted for $40, beginning at 4 p.m. Wednesday night brings a fireworks display, and on Thursday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., seniors get in free.
A Friday-evening welcome reception at 6 p.m. introduces the five speakers set to talk on Saturday, and the film Travis: The True Story of Travis Walton will be screened. The film recounts the 1975 discovery of a “disc-shaped craft” in Arizona’s Sitgreaves National Forest, found by Walton and seven other loggers. A question-and-answer session will follow with the film’s producer, Jennifer Stein, associate producer Peter Robbins and Richard Dolan. On Saturday, Jennifer Stein will speak on “Crop Circles in the US and Canada,” focusing on the research, findings and implications surrounding them. Having studied with experts in England, Canada and the US for 20 years, she will present an overview of the research done and explore the phenomena by providing some of the current theories on the matter. Stein is a field investigator for MUFON (Mutual UFO Network) PA, an international non-profit organization dedicated to the scientific research of UFO phenomena. Next on the agenda, UFO investigative writer Peter Robbins talks on the coverup of the famous Rendlesham Forest Incident. His British best-seller on the subject is Left at East Gate: A First-Hand Account of the Rendlesham Forest UFO Incident, Its Cover-Up and Investigation, revealing details about a series of reported sightings of unexplained lights near Suffolk, England. Involved in the field for 30 years, Robbins has lectured extensively and has appeared in television, documentaries, mainstream radio and Internet channels as an expert in the subject. Investigator and historian Richard
Dolan is a regular guest on Coast-to-Coast AM radio and has also appeared on many television specials for the History Channel, SyFy, the BBC and elsewhere. A prominent UFO researcher, he is considered by many to be the world’s preeminent historian of the subject. He is the author of two volumes of history, UFOs and the National Security State, as well as an analysis of the future, AD After Disclosure: The People’s Guide to Life after Contact. Dr. Nathan Rosenblum will present “The Influence of Sirius on Earth” as an introduction to his work demonstrating the interconnections among ideas that can form a synthesis, spiritually uniting people. With a PhD in Metaphysical Philosophy, Rosenblum is an ordained interfaith minister, a ceremonial magician and a Theosophist who regularly lectures and teaches courses on a wide variety of esoteric topics. He is also an author of both fiction and nonfiction pieces and a poet. Lastly, author and lecturer Laird Scranton will talk about Skara Brae in Scotland: a stone-built Neolithic
settlement consisting of eight clustered houses thought to be occupied from roughly 3180 to 2500 BCE. An independent researcher of ancient cosmology and language, Scranton’s studies focus on Dogon mythology and symbolism, ancient myth, language and cosmology. His numerous books, including The Mystery of Skara Brae, and articles have been published by Colgate University, Temple University and the University of Chicago. See a preview of the documentary film here: http://traviswaltonthemovie.com. For a complete conference schedule, see www. mainlinemufon.com/main_line_mufon/ other_events_%26_conferences.html.

Former Barrytown church hosts Dada on the Hudson celebration on Sunday Only one day after Basilica Hudson and the Community of Literary Magazines and Presses hosts a “Read & Feed” celebrating the wonderfully confounding writings of the experimental composer and gadfly philosopher John Cage, Three Rooms Press presents Dada on the Hudson, twoand-a-half hours of Dada immersion on the occasion of Dada’s 100th birthday. Free and open to the public, Dada on the Hudson takes place on Sunday, July 31 at 3:30 p.m. at the former Church of the Sacred Heart in Barrytown, a venue once employed by Fluxus, the Cage-inspired multidisciplinary cultural movement of the 1960s and ‘70s.

for 20th/21st-century experimental art and the preservation of its many subtraditions remains mysterious. But the evidence is compelling. From the disproportionate representation of avant garde musicians and artists in the Beacon and Cold Spring area (often converging in the mixed-media programming at Manitoga and the great rainbow of skronk at Quinn’s in Beacon) to the multimedia academic shenanigans of RPI’s EMPAC to the north, from Pauline Oliveros’ venerable Deep Listening in Kingston and free-jazz luminary Marilyn Crispell’s Woodstock-centered career to Bard’s inclusive canon and the glam wing of radical art at Basilica, the banks of the Hudson are simply on fire with the weirdest shit ever. Visual artists are writers, mostly; the leading names of the European Dada movement included the proto-Dadaist Marcel Duchamp, Max Ernst, Tristan Tzara and many more. Dada celebrated nonsense and the indeterminacy of the artistic process. Arising, traumatized, out of the ashes of the Great War, Dada was antiwar, anti-rationality and anti-capitalist. Rather than attacking and critiquing with logical argument, however, Dada spoke through absurdity, impertinence and volatile unpredictability, using nonsense and chance processes as a

harsh corrosive applied to the structures and expressive devices of Western art. The question of whether it is art and whether it is “good” will always hover around this particular tradition. Given that the Dadaists and their heirs, the Surrealists, played the pop-culture process like a cheap accordion, it is always tempting to hear the public outrage, contempt and dismissal as simply a part of the art. Featured performers at Dada on the Hudson include renowned poet and essayist Charles Plymell, surrealist poet and writer Janet Hamill, editor and poet Djelloul Marbrook, neo-conceptual artist Heide Hatry, avant-garde poet and New York Group founder Yuriy Tarnawsky, photographer Phil Scalia, Dada poetry scholar William Seaton, performance artists Franco Götte and Martina Salisbury, letterpress publisher/poet Bill Roberts, and performance poets Sophie Malleret and Ann Firestone Ungar. Three Rooms Press co-directors Peter Carlaftes and Kat Georges will host the event. Dada on the Hudson coincides with the publication of Maintenant 10: A Journal of Contemporary DaDa Writing and Art (Three Rooms Press, 2016), the most recent installment of an annual series published since 2005. Copies will be available for purchase at the event. The former Church of the Sacred Heart is located at 88 Station Hill Road in Barrytown.

Danish Quartet plays Woodstock’s Maverick this Sunday Called “one of the best quartets before the public today” by the Washington Post, the Danish Quartet is actually three Danes and one Norwegian: a truly Scandinavian and world-class ensemble. When the Danish Quartet performs at Maverick Concerts on Sunday, July 31 at 4 p.m., the program includes a string quartet by the living Danish composer Per Nørgård as well as an early quartet by the great Romantic prodigy Felix Mendelssohn and a very late quartet by the 20thcentury Russian Dmitri Shostakovich. Ticket prices range from $25 to $45, $5 for students with ID. For tickets and more information, visit www.maverickconcerts. org. Maverick Concerts are located at 120 Maverick Road in Woodstock.

Dub Is a Weapon plays Helsinki Hudson this Friday Dub is a recording technique originating in the 1960s in Jamaica. Reggae producers made alternative versions of tracks by omitting the vocals and featuring bass and drums, while the other instruments – primarily guitars, horns and keyboards – were faded in and out of the overall mix. They made extensive use of effects available at the time, including echo, delay, reverb and sampling. In the 1980s, reggae-influenced rock groups, most notably the Clash and the Police, made use of these techniques on their own recordings. The ambitious Brooklyn-based sextet Dub Is a Weapon captures the methods and madness of dub live at Club Helsinki on Friday, July 29 at 9 p.m. Tickets cost $15. For tickets and more information, visit www.helsinkihudson. com. Helsinki Hudson is located at 405 Columbia Street in Hudson.
Catskill Jazz Factory presents "Joy of Sax" The Catskill Jazz Factory (CJF)’s summer season of residencies and performances is yet more evidence of how well-curated, and well-connected, this Tannersville-based organization is. The CJF employs several different venues to present a wide variety of jazz, typically ranging from formidable mainstream jazz out a certain way toward the experimental fringe, with very little in the way of Golden Age nostalgia. Summer programming eases up a bit and is not afraid of a little crowdpleasing, as long as it is unassailably top-shelf stuff across the board. Called “virtuosos on saxophoneâ€? by The New York Times, Peter and Will Anderson will perform The Joy of Sax showcasing various jazz styles ranging from bop to swing in celebration of 175 years of the saxophone, as well as original pieces. The Peter and Will Anderson Quintet performs at the Spiegeltent on Thursday, July 28 at 8 p.m. and at the Villa Vosilla in Tannersville on Friday, July 29 at 7:30 p.m. They will end their residency with a performance at Music Mountain in Connecticut on Saturday, July 30 at 6:30 p.m. Ticket prices for July 28 range from $25 to $45, for July 29 they are $25 and for July 30 they are $27. Catskill Jazz veteran Chris Washburne (of frequent area performers SYOTOS) will join with Brazilian pianist and composer AndrĂŠ Mehmari, vocalists Sarah Elizabeth Charles and Candice Hoyes, New Orleans clarinetist Evan Christopher and master trumpeter Alphonso Horne to lead an all-star band for Ragtime & the Birth of *XLWDUV ‡ $PSOLĂ€HUV Pro Audio Accessories

Hailed by Wynton Marsalis as one of the top five jazz musicians under 30 to watch, pianist Chris Pattishall will perform Fictions: Borges in Tango, a performance of all-original compositions pulling inspiration from Argentinian literary master Jorge LuĂs Borges and the rich musical history of tango.

Add some color to your life Encaustics workshops offered at Kingston’s R & F Handmade Paints Like the hands-on process of making art? Intrigued by the possibilities afforded by the recently rediscovered ancient art of encaustics, blending
pigments in a wax-based medium? Then it’s high time that you checked out the multi-day courses and one-day mini-workshops offered in that hive of creativity and nexus of the encaustics universe that is R & F Handmade Paints in Midtown Kingston. Every month, instructor Wayne Montecalvo conducts a half-day noviceto-intermediate-level Saturday Lab on Encaustic and Pigment Sticks. It’s a good way to get a handle on fundamental encaustic techniques, and you can dip back in for a refresher class on future Saturdays to hone your skills with the medium. In the fully equipped R & F studio, Montecalvo will introduce you to the basics of using encaustic paint and pigment sticks, and the possibilities for combining the two. A lab will be offered this Saturday, July 30 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., and the fee is $65. If you’re a rank beginner, you might want to stick a toe in the rainbowcolored encaustic waters by taking Cynthia Winika’s monthly Mini Encaustic Workshop, designed to give artists a hands-on introduction to the process. A one-hour demonstration is followed by independent work time, giving participants a chance to experiment with the paint and tools. Topics will include health and safety; what encaustic is; how to get started; and the most popular techniques and applications. Winick’s next session will take place from 12 noon to 4 p.m. on Saturday, August 20 and costs $65. Another, slightly more specialized beginner/novice-level Saturday class will be taught next Saturday, August 6 by Leslie Giuliani. The topic is Paper Lithography with Encaustic and Pigment Sticks, in which students will create crossmedia layered prints that incorporate the unique characteristics of an encaustic painting with transferred images. Students are encouraged to bring images of all varieties to test the bounds of the process, including drawings, illustrations and photographs. The Paper Lithography workshop runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and tuition costs $130. For more experienced students, R & F

Hollywood noir Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Sunset Boulevard at Center for Performing Arts at Rhinebeck
M
ade in 1950 at the tail end of Hollywood’s Golden Age, Billy Wilder’s Sunset Boulevard made the movie industry squirm, exposing its smelly underbelly even as it paid a sort of horrified homage to its early triumphs and excesses. Many a faded queen of the silent screen saw herself in the tragically self-deluded Norma Desmond (Gloria Swanson), and as her devoted butler, exhusband and former director Max, Erich von Stroheim was essentially playing himself. But this movie that took a merciless scalpel to the glitz of Tinseltown – part melodrama, part film noir, part black comedy, part psychological horror – went on to dazzle the critics, cop three Oscars out of 11 nominations and establish itself firmly among the ranks of movie classics. In the mid-’50s, Swanson herself toured with a cabaret-style adaptation (with a somewhat sunnier ending) titled Boulevard! But it took a long time for subsequent efforts to turn Sunset Boulevard into a full-scale stage musical to bear fruit; circa 1980, Stephen Sondheim expressed interest, but was dissuaded by Wilder himself, who thought that the tragic story needed operatic treatment. Andrew Lloyd Webber, Don Black and
Lou Trapani, Jim Nurre and Barbara Rankin in Sunset Boulevard at The Center for Performing Arts at Rhinebeck.
Christopher Hampton finally brought it to the West End in 1993, to mixed reviews. Then they did a bit more tinkering and wowed Broadway with a tighter version the following year, starring Glenn Close as Norma, George Hearn as Max and Alan Campbell in the William Holden role of Joe Gillis, the hack screenwriter who gets pulled into Norma’s toxic orbit. The Broadway version won seven Tony Awards including Best Musical, plus a Drama Desk Best Actress nod for Close. With its requirement for opulent sets to portray the aging actress’ overstuffed monstrosity of a Hollywood mansion, Sunset Boulevard falls outside the budgetary means of most regional theater companies, so it will be interesting to see how Diana di Grandi and Up in One Productions manage to convey that Gothic atmosphere when they bring the show to the Center for Performing Arts at Rhinebeck over the next four weekends. Set and lighting designer Andrew Weintraub, scenic artist Richard Prouse and costumer Lobsang Camacho have their work cut out for them. And with such iconic role models to emulate, so do
the actors, who include Barbara Rankin as Norma, Jim Nurre as Joe, Lou Trapani as Max, Niki Metcalf as Betty and Kolrick Greathouse as Artie. Kevin Archambault directs, with music direction by Elaine Miller. Will this talented ensemble be up to the challenge? Are they ready for their close-ups, Mr. DeMille? Find out for yourself at a performance of Sunset Boulevard beginning at 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays or at 3 p.m. on Sundays from July 29 to August 21.

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 on 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

Making Heaven drowsy with harmony Phoenicia Festival of the Voice to spotlight Shakespeare
I
t started in 2009 as a concert by three locally based opera singers to raise money for a playground in Phoenicia. The public response was enthusiastic enough to make it clear that bringing a summer opera festival to the Catskills would not be quite so difficult a task as Fitzcarraldo hauling his showboat over the Andes. From 2010 on, the mission of the Phoenicia International Festival of the Voice expanded rapidly to take in every imaginable artistic expression of which the human voice is capable, from gospel music to the Jewish cantor tradition to microtonal throat singing from various cultures. But there’s always a hearty helping of opera involved, rendered by world-class performers and rising stars. The Festival of the Voice turns an ear toward the British Isles as it makes its seventh visitation to Phoenicia on Thursday through Sunday, August 4 to 7. The primary focus for 2016 is on adaptations of Shakespeare, plus a smattering of Tennyson, the Beatles and traditional Celtic song. This year’s operatic centerpiece will be a performance on the Main Stage in Phoenicia Park on Saturday evening of Giuseppe Verdi’s Otello, featuring Limmie Pulliam in the title role. Also on the bardic menu will be a Friday-night performance of Kiss Me Kate, Cole Porter’s tuneful update of The Taming of the Shrew, starring Susan Powell and Richard White; Thomas Pasatieri’s Three Shakespearean Monologues, featuring Lauren Flanigan in the roles of Desdemona and Lady Macbeth, with the composer on piano; Muse of Fire, a 90-minute romp through the Shakespeare canon by young actors from New Genesis Productions; a talk titled “Hamlet Once and for All,” delivered twice by actor Carey Harrison; and a program of “Music in the Time of Shakespeare and Cervantes” by the Cambridge Chamber Singers. There’s lots more going on, with entry fees ranging all over the place, from absolutely free for the morning Latte Lectures in the Phoenicia Park Lounge to $90 VIP seats for the three evening extravaganzas.

Zachary Quinto as Spock, Sofia Boutella as Jaylah and Karl Urban as Bones McCoy in Star Trek Beyond
In space, no one can hear you explode Star Trek Beyond sacrifices speculative fiction for nonstop action
I
t didn’t have an ample budget for art direction or special effects. Alien landscapes and monster costumes often looked cheap and cheesy. Its main character was portrayed by an actor fondly remembered among the fanbase for his pompous, ham-handed thespian skills. And yet the original series (TOS) of Star Trek set a high bar indeed, in terms of viewer expectations. Five better-funded sequel series eventually appeared on the small screen, to greater or lesser acclaim, along with six movies starring the original cast and four based on the series Star Trek: The Next Generation, prior to the recent franchise reboot. Hardcore Trekkies/Trekkers embraced some of the follow-ups more fondly than others, but, tacky sets notwithstanding, a deep loyalty to Star Trek TOS lingers on among those who watched it either when it first came out in 1966-1969 or in later endless syndication. What lies behind that attachment? Great writing
and great characters, mostly – along with an innovatively antiwar, anti-imperialist, multiculti concept that departed from the usual militaristic space-opera clichés and fit the zeitgeist of the Civil Rights/Vietnam War era very well. Among the scriptwriters for TOS were some of the top science fiction authors of their era: Richard Matheson, Robert Bloch, Theodore Sturgeon, Harlan Ellison, Jerome Bixby, Norman Spinrad. And of course, while we affectionately tolerated William Shatner as Captain Kirk, we fell unreservedly in love with Leonard Nimoy as Mr. Spock, DeForest Kelley as Bones McCoy, James Doohan as Scotty, Nichelle Nichols as Uhura, George Takei as Sulu, Walter Koenig as Chekov and so on. Those were tough acts to follow, and a lot of hard-to-please longtime fans were dubious when J. J. Abrams undertook to recast the well-beloved original characters. But his 2009 Star Trek and 2013 Star Trek into Darkness, while more reliant on bigbudget action scenes and CGI than their predecessors, were clearly made with love and respect for the franchise’s roots, and the new stars were adequately matched
to their parts. Beyond the “final” frontier, all seemed well. But then, alas, Abrams turned his interests to reviving the Star Wars universe and handed off the rebooted Star Trek series to a new director: Justin Lin, best-known for helming the last four of the Fast and Furious movies. Bad choice. Hire a vehiclecentric action-movie director and what you are most likely to get is not a philosophical jaunt into speculative fiction, but rather a vehiclecentric action movie. And so it came to pass: Star Trek Beyond took the least rewarding elements of Abrams’ two Star Trek films – titanic CGIbased set pieces of spacecraft being ripped apart (including a whole lot of noise that, per the laws of physics, can’t actually be heard in the near-vacuum of space) –

It even has a Thunderdomestyle choreographed multiple-motorcycle race scene, thanks to a junk heap of antiquated technology left behind on the planet Altamid, where much of our story transpires. So if carchase movies are your cup of dilithium crystals, you may enjoy Star Trek Beyond nearly as much as its two most recent antecedents. If, on the other hand, you appreciate the franchise more for its quirky character development and its thoughtful handling of complex issues of interplanetary culture shock, you’re likely to as be disappointed as I was. As narrative, Star Trek Beyond is cliché-riddled and derivative, complete with a Doomsday MacGuffin called the Abronath and a countdown clock to be raced by Kirk in order to save millions of lives.

Bard screens Visconti masterpiece Rocco and His Brothers this Sunday
B
efore he started directing films, Luchino Visconti was a stage and opera director, and it shows onscreen. Roger Ebert called Visconti’s 1960 opus Rocco and His Brothers “a combination that should not work, but does, between operatic melodrama and seamy social realism.” In fact, “operatic” is an adjective commonly applied to the Italian Neorealist cinema master’s body of work in general. So it should come as no great surprise that three of his films are being screened as part of Bard SummerScape’s 2016 Film Series, which is intended to explore the influence of Giacomo Puccini’s work on the emerging artform of filmmaking. The Visconti series-within-a-series begins in the Jim Ottaway Film Center on the Bard College Campus on Thursday, July 28 with Senso (1954) and ends a week later with The Leopard (1963) on Thursday, August 4. The centerpiece of the Visconti triptych, Rocco and His Brothers, will be shown this Sunday, July 31. All screenings begin at 7 p.m. Rocco depicts the struggles of a poor family who have immigrated from rural southern Italy to industrialized Milan, with two of the five brothers (Alain Delon and Renato Salvatori) clashing when they both fall in love with the same woman (Annie Girardot). Star-to-be Claudia Cardinale puts in one of her earliest screen appearances as the eldest brother’s fiancée. The tragic tale incorporates jealousy, alcoholism, rape, murder and other larger-than-life elements familiar to opera-lovers. Tickets cost $10 general admission, $8 for students and seniors aged 62+. To order, visit https://fishercentertickets.bard. edu/single/selectseating.aspx?p=831. To see the trailer of a film that strongly influenced Martin Scorsese's career, visit http:// bit.ly/2ajzPSw.
starship Enterprise (what, again?) move like a swarm of bees, so naturally have the exploitable weaknesses of a hive mind – just like the Formics in Ender’s Game and a host of other alien colonies in the sci-fi canon. On the positive side, the glassed-in space station Yorktown that the survivors of the Enterprise are trying to save from Krall’s destructive designs is very cool to look at: an Escherian world in which the direction of the force gravity is relative to where you happen to be standing. The testy bromance between Spock (Zachary Quinto) and McCoy (Karl Urban) is as fun to watch as it has ever been. And Sofia Boutella makes a winning debut as Jaylah, a feisty scavenger/engineer who’s remarkably adept at martial arts and bears undeniable similarities to the character of Rey in Star Wars: The Force Awakens (Abrams must have left a character sketch behind when he jumped ship). I expect that we’ll see her again in the next sequel. Bearer of the eternal flame of Star Trek: TOS though I may be, I have no fundamental objections to that next sequel happening. May the franchise live long and prosper. I just hope, very very deeply, that Justin Lin will not be directing it. – Frances Marion Platt
Black Maria Film Festival at Upstate Films in Rhinebeck on Friday Short films are a wonder being made in abundance, but all-too-little seen on big screens for lack of venues willing to devote time to their exhibition. For 35 years now, the New Jersey-based Black Maria Film
Festival (named for Thomas Edison’s primitive movie studio, said to resemble the inside of a paddy wagon) has been addressing that gap by packaging together programs of innovative and provocative shorts, chosen by international juried competition, and distributing them around the country. One of the annual stops for the traveling Festival has long been Upstate Films in Rhinebeck. The program being presented there this Friday, July 29 at 8:30 p.m. will be introduced and discussed by Black Maria director/curator Jane Steuerwald in person. This year’s selections will include Moon Molson’s The Bravest, the Boldest; Reid Davenport and Cheng Zhang’s On Beat; Tom Brown and Daniel Gray’s teeth; Aslak Danbolt’s Last Base; Ed Kashi and Julie Winokur’s Notes for My Homeland; Laura Doggett’s Films by Syrian Girls; Tiffany Shlain’s The Making of a Mensch; Paul Zinder’s Signwriter; and James Everett’s Dreaming of Peggy Lee. For more details about these films, visit http://upstatefilms.org/coming-soon/ the-35th-annual-black-maria-shortfilm-festival. Tickets for Upstate Films screenings typically cost $10 general admission, $8 for seniors aged 62 and up and for students with ID, $6 for members. Upstate Films is located at 6415 Montgomery Street (Route 9) in downtown Rhinebeck. For more info, call (845) 876-2515.
Free Astronomy, Music & Film Night at Olana this Friday Remember when trippy surround-

Not the most scientifically edifying use of a costly high-tech star projection system, perhaps, but these events did serve to draw some younger audiences to take an interest in astronomy. There’s nothing like the real thing, though: watching the actual stars from a terrific outdoor vantagepoint on a warm summer night. Why not pair it with some splendid live music? This Friday evening, July 29 beginning at 6 p.m., students from the Bard College Orchestra will perform on the East Lawn of Frederic Church’s magnificent hilltop manse, Olana. A movie double feature follows, with Home screening at 8 p.m. and Art House at 10:30 p.m. Once the stars come out, members of the MidHudson Astronomical Association will be on hand, providing sky tours via telescope. Bring blankets and lawn chairs and pack a picnic cooler so you can stretch out and enjoy the music and the films while awaiting your turn at the eyepiece.
According to statistics provided by the Hunger Action Network New York State from Feeding America: Map the Meal Gap, there are nearly 20,000 people in Ulster County who are considered “food insecure.” The figure for Dutchess County far exceeds that. Our greater upstate communities, so wealthy in talent and culture and natural beauty, are in certain crucial ways and for inexplicable reasons undernourished. While the Hunger Action Network has secured an increase in state funding and was granted $500,000 for emergency food providers this year, the need for basic provisions is still dire in our area. Empty Bowls is a benefit held annually to raise funds and awareness to address this gap and end hunger in New York. Locally, the Maple Ridge Bruderhof has stepped up to host the fundraiser this summer, to be held at its Ulster Park Community on Saturday, July 30. From 2 to 5 p.m., guests can enjoy a buffet of homemade hot and cold soups, fresh salads made with homegrown produce, baked breads and a delicious grilled variety. The suggested donation is $25, which includes a takehome bowl, handcrafted by the kids at the Bruderhof. These simple, unique bowls serve as both souvenir and reminder: There are neighbors who do not have enough to eat on a regular basis. Indeed, the persistence of hunger across America is hard to fathom if you’re one of the well-fed. It’s a complicated situation. Any organization committed to addressing the problem must not only feed people directly through food pantries, soup kitchens and shelters, but also must work to solve the issues that contribute to hunger, homelessness and poverty – primarily by expanding school breakfast programs and funding for Meals on Wheels for seniors, and most importantly, developing access to education and job training for low-income citizens. It’s reported that summertime is the “hungriest time of year for kids.” On a year-round basis, children make up a large portion of that statistic, but when school’s out, many don’t get regular meals each day. This is the perfect time, the perfect season to donate and participate in alleviating hunger. All funds raised at Empty Bowls go to helping people in our area. Make a difference. Come eat your fill and shop for other handcrafted items. Put a small dent in a big problem.

were often cast off by their families, if they had any, and rounded up by communities and dumped in other towns; it wasn’t unusual for them to be locked away in prisonlike “poorhouses.” But doctors at Kirkbride centers like the one in Poughkeepsie took a vastly more enlightened approach to the mentally ill: It was called “moral treatment,” a regimen that was based on the belief that altering a person’s environment could reverse or at least mediate a person’s “madness.”

mad, the slammed doors of padded cells, the businesslike snap of manacles on wriggling, unwilling hands and feet. Though it may once have been associated with pain, what was first known nearly 150 years ago as the Hudson River State Hospital was built to shelter and comfort society’s castoffs: the mad, the physically damaged, the mentally ill. Its progressive approach to mental illness was built around the theories of a man largely forgotten by history, Dr.
Thomas Story Kirkbride. Kirkbride’s theories were anything but abstract; they were embodied in the gracious buildings and sylvan grounds epitomized by the Poughkeepsie site. Kirkbride asylums (the word once held suggestions of tranquility, not insanity) were widely accepted in his day and became the standard by which all such facilities were judged well into the 20th century. In antebellum America, the poor, the mad and the physically disabled

The means to that end were natural beauty, comfortable, window-laden architecture and participatory sports and entertainment. Time has not been kind either to Kirkbride’s memory nor the asylum that he designed. The Hudson River Psychiatric Center has been in decline since the 1980s – a decline hastened by radically changing fashions in mental health treatment and shrinking state funds. It had 5,500 resident/patients in 1955; it has been 15 years since the Center was shuttered and become a vine-covered, lightning-struck collection of derelict buildings. Stand today at the once-magnificent entrance to the Center’s main administrative building and look down on what in its heyday was called “the Great Lawn.” Decades ago, it was refashioned by the state into a nine-hole golf course. Today, it resembles nothing less than a second-growth forest of vagrant trees. This month, a new chapter in the Center’s imagined as well as factualbut-forgotten history was written – not with pen and ink, but with the claw of a giant yellow Liebor 936 Excavator that stood silently next to a ruined staff residence building. Fifty feet away, a gathering of smiling developers, town, county and state officials stood beneath a white plastic tent and praised each other for finally having begun to write that new chapter. What developers are calling Hudson Heritage will be a $250 million mixed-use development of 750 residential units, including retail shops, boutique hotel accommodations and the same gracious, sweeping landscapes overlooking the Hudson River that were part of Kirkbride’s therapeutic efforts. Most but not all of the existing buildings will be razed; a few structures, including the Center’s towering administration building on the site’s north end, will be renovated and preserved and, as the saying goes, repurposed. A cheer went up at the July 13 gathering when the Liebor 936 roared to life and knocked a small, dusty and altogether symbolic chunk of brick and masonry out of the building’s once-beautiful façade. No tears were shed. Not only has the property become an eyesore, it has also become a continual nuisance for town police and

The dilapidated buildings are a magnet for people whom property manager Steve Burke called “scrappers”: drug addicts who break into the dilapidated buildings, sometimes risking their lives to steal copper and brass as well as artifacts that can be bartered for drug money. Then there are the graffiti artists and late-night partiers. According to Burke, who jokingly said that he all but lives on the property, one such party was held on the boardedup fourth floor of a building opposite the site of last week’s meeting the night before the gathering took place. “It’s almost a daily occurrence,” he said. Though there was a ceremonial ribboncutting, no champagne was served. The gathering was merely the first and most dramatic physical step that the developers,

talk, we’d have thus-far-unimagined versions of history to consider. And even though they can’t, there’s enough lore and myth to fill any history buff ’s eager mind, especially when that person avails him- or herself of the chance to walk those floorboards: an opportunity now presented by Historic Tavern Trails meetups in both Dutchess and Orange Counties. Typically, meetups take place once a month from May through October. Historians, museum professionals and members of the public are welcomed in to partake of free Happy Hour drinks (including signature cocktails designed especially for the occasion) and local pub foods (for which dinner reservations at each tavern are encouraged). And a healthy helping of anecdotal information about each location is always on the menu, in the form of brief talks presented by the current tavern-owners and local experts – about liquor hidden under the floor planks or secret goings-on taking place upstairs or other intriguing tidbits about the people who once frequented the tavern way back when. In Dutchess County, a different historic tavern will provide the revelry on the second Friday of each month for the remainder of the season: August 12 at the Stissing House in Pine Plains, September 9 at the Old Drovers’ Inn in Dover Plains and October 14 at the Kimlin Cider Mill in Poughkeepsie. A special Halloween event on Friday, October 29 will feature a special Prohibition-themed party marking the grand opening of Dutch’s Spirits in Pine Plains. Events in Orange County take place on the last Friday of the month: July 29 at Painter’s Restaurant in Cornwall, August 26 at Chateau Hathorn in Warwick, September 30 at Schlesinger’s Steak House in New Windsor and October 28 at the Ward’s Bridge Inn in Montgomery. Historian Johanna Yaun, who organized the Tavern Trail in Orange County, is quoted as having referred to the meetups as heritage tourism. “It’s a program that is history, tourism and economic development,” she said. “Many historic buildings in Orange County have found new purposes while acknowledging their debt to the past.” In the present, it’s all about socializing, networking, imbibing and nibbling, meeting new folks and dabbling in history. Join the next meetup on this summer’s journey to Orange County’s historic taverns at Painter’s Restaurant in Cornwall-onHudson this Friday evening at 5:30 p.m. Painter’s (located in what was formally the Cornwall Inn) is located at 266 Hudson Street. Local historian Colette Fulton will give a brief presentation about the history of Painter’s Restaurant.

Spirited away Secret City "art Church" comes to Bearsville Theater this Sunday
“R
eligious art” is a term that calls to mind everything from elaborate temples and grand cathedrals with frescoed ceilings to humble household shrines. But for Chris Wells and his cohort of devotees, the art has become its own religion. “What would a spiritual ritual made by artists look like?” Wells asked himself. In 2007, he decided to find out, and called together the first Secret City gathering in a small room on West 14th Street in New York City. It consisted of just four artists: Wells – himself an actor, writer and singer – his partner, Bobby Lucy, and two of their close friends. Wells had noticed that, even in such a thriving artistic center, the artistic community was “fractured.” “I had been in theater all of my life, and the more I was involved in the theater, the more I felt that all of these other artforms I was interested in weren’t really talking to each other.” Today, many of the Secret City’s returning crowd refer to it as “art church.” Though he was raised without religion, Wells has always been “fascinated with what religion is trying to serve.” According to Wells, “Community is created through shared ritual,” and so he set out to create a ritual that is inclusive and “non-dogmatic.” The project grew quickly through word-of-mouth and previous participants inviting others to join in. The Secret City’s biggest breaks came in 2010, when it won an Obie Award and was covered in The New York Times’s Theater Section in an article titled “Sort of a Salon, Sort of a Church.” Wells describes the publicity as a “legitimizing stamp” that drew bigger crowds of artists and spectators. Following the recognition, the Secret

City moved beyond its humble beginnings into a larger New York City venue and, in 2012, to Los Angeles. The ongoing performance gathering now occurs quarterly in Los Angeles, about eight times a year in New York City and annually in Woodstock, where Wells and Bobby Lucy – both awarded residencies at Byrdcliffe – now live. Woodstock, with a population hovering around 6,000 residents, is a significant departure from the metropolises where the Secret City usually convenes. “I think in general, the arts are sort of isolated,” muses Wells. “I think that’s sort of the nature of our lives.” It’s not hard to imagine that finding a cohesive, collaborative, multimedia arts community might be a challenge in a city with

millions of residents, but how does the Secret City carve its niche in Woodstock, a reasonably small town with an active arts community? “Woodstock is an extraordinary place,” says Wells, “so it’s not as if it’s lacking in those connections; but the Secret City takes that idea and concentrates it in this event that tries to touch on all the senses.” Wells adds that the Secret City reaches beyond Woodstock to find its talent. “We’re trying to curate very broadly. It’s definitely not strictly a rock ‘n’ roll feel,” he
says, referring to the lingering influence of the ’60s that is ever-present in Woodstock. Now in its third year upstate, the socalled “service” has already outgrown its original location at the Byrdcliffe Theater. After packing the venue to capacity twice, the Secret City will be holding this year’s service at the larger Bearsville Theater on July 31. As with all other Secret City events, the service in Woodstock will have a theme. Wells has gathered an array of artists – some of them local – for the “Play”-themed performance. He says that the process for finding participants is “very unscientific.” Through personal contact, conversations and “following leads,” Wells curates shows featuring artists of all kinds. “You cultivate your intuition about what feels right.” In the case of the upcoming performance, that meant asking himself, “What are artforms that really speak to the idea of ‘play’?” The artists he decided on include genre-hopping musician Eric Redd and visual artist Jacinta Bunnell, who designs subversive coloring books and often

Lest anyone think that the Secret City is comprised only of acts falling under the usual umbrella of art, the service will include appearances by vegan chocolatier Lagusta Yearwood Umami of Lagusta’s Luscious in New Paltz and Hyde Park’s roller-derby team, the Hudson Valley Horrors. Wells, a Los Angeles native, was inspired by a lyric about roller skating in the song “Good Times” by the 1970s disco group Chic. He says that the sport brings to mind summer fun. “I’m always trying to get movement in the services,” Wells says, calling to mind the tent-revival inspirations for the Secret City gatherings. “Roller derby is this sort of exciting, sexy, dirty idea of play,” he adds, illuminating a distinct contrast between the City and those inspirations. As always, the 20-person choir the Secret City Singers will be present, along with the Secret City Band. Wells promises that the service will be very colorful. “Day-Glo,” he says. “The choir and I will be decked out in neon.” Wells says that audiences can also expect a reading of one of his stories, but stops short of divulging too many details. “I don’t want to give it all away.” In the spirit of inclusiveness, the Secret City is a ticket-free event, with only a suggested donation entrance fee. It also provides free childcare, with art lessons for kids. “We don’t censor the artists,” Wells cautions, but says that “We want people to feel like they can bring their kids.” There is also a coffee hour following the service, to which attendees often bring food to share. The Secret City is often (fondly) described as “irreverent,” but Wells states that, while he’s not religious, he’s not “anti-religious” either. Rather, he is captivated by religion’s ability to motivate people to convene, worship and form a community. “What is it that makes religion so durable?” Wells wonders – though perhaps he is discovering it for himself. – Fiona Steacy

ALMANAC WEEKLY created dedicated space to fulfill their individual passions. From the official tour website: “Many of these locations are very private and are seldom seen by anyone other than the artist; others double as galleries and shops where the artist’s works are regularly displayed. Some of the studios are easily accessible, while others are far off the beaten path. Winding one’s way through the Catskill Region to seek out these gems is part of the fun of the Artists’ Studios Tour.” Many of last year’s artists are participating again, including: Alix Travis (watercolor and oil paintings), Amy Masters and Ted Sheridan (paintings and architecture), Anthony Margiotta (moss sculpture garden), Ellen Wong (paintings), Frank and Helene Manzo (Photography and etchings/prints), Gary Mead (Catskill Woods furniture), Gerda vanLeeuwen and Peter Yamaoka (prints and ceramics vases), John Sanders (sculpture garden), Ken Hiratsuka (stone carvings), Lisbeth Firmin (monoprints), Oneida Hammond (paintings, on view at the Halcottsville Wawaka Grange) and Tabitha GilmoreBarnes (weaving: functional and tapestries). Four new participants will also be at the Halcottsville Wawaka Grange: Robert Axelrod (painting), Sophia Maduri (illustration), Alan Powell (multi-media), Lesley Powell (paintings), and J. N. Urbanski (photography). To “see where art is made,” the AMR Open Studios Tour 2016 brochures (with map and driving directions) have been distributed to local community businesses, and information can also be found and downloaded from the tour website. The tour is funded by the New York State Council on the Arts Decentralization Grant Program, with the support of governor Andrew Cuomo, and the New York State Legislature, and is administered in Delaware County by the Roxbury Arts Group with fiscal support from the MARK Project and participating artists, advertisers and sponsors. – Ann Hutton

Kingston’s ArtBar Gallery hosts Art4theEnd fundraiser for Rainbird Foundation Whether the abuse is physical, sexual or emotional, too many young people suffer at the hands of others. Child abuse in formative years shapes adolescents and adults who act out negatively and violently. Or they simply suffer unhappy lives, never reaching their full potential as vibrant, contributing human beings. And we all suffer the consequences of this loss of spirit and health. We affect and are affected by each other. Hanna Roth figures that we have all put up with it for too long. As head of a foundation dedicated to the end of child abuse, Roth has hit upon a masterful leadership skill: You create a purpose with measurable goals, and then give the project away to others to fulfill. The Rainbird Foundation was created for that purpose: the end of all children being abused in any way, shape or form. No small potatoes, this. It is a huge, worldwide, culturally ingrained problem – one that cannot be addressed by one method, one action. Rainbird’s mission is to empower and activate individuals, groups and organizations. Some take direct action to
save kids at risk. Some lobby and work at the level of lawmaking and resolving social justice issues on behalf of children. People who join Roth in Rainbird Foundation fundraising activities choose how they want to do so. So, in our area we’ve had Dance4theEnd, Drink4theEnd and Jam4theEnd events, which combine an organizer’s passion with a worthy cause: This is the “giving away to fulfill” aspect of Roth’s plan. It works because people can express their passions and raise funds at the same time. Art4theEnd is a local event scheduled to be held at the ArtBar Gallery on Broadway in Kingston this weekend. Proprietor Allie Constant met Roth at another Rainbird gathering and offered up her space for an exhibit and sale. Constant is an artist herself, with a degree from SUNY-New Paltz. She sees this as a good opportunity: to support artists and children in need in one action. More than 20 regional artists are joining forces to stand for the end of child abuse. The exhibit will feature works from Amy Rosen, Brooke Long, Christian Gallo, Christina Muller, Eugene Stetz, Gabrielle Green, Greg Morris, Harriet Faith, j. d. weiss, Jennifer Schimmrich, Jimmy McHugh, Karen Schaffel, Leslie Bender, Margit Wenzel, Mary Ann Erickson, Maxine Davidowitz, Mernie Baker, P. J. Flanagan, Sara Harris, Suzanne Ress, Sam Van Klee[c?]k and Sophie Roth, Elaine Pittleman and others. The event will include a cash bar and complimentary hors d’oeuvres. Entertainment will be provided by Charles Wellcome of the Wellcome Home Band. Fifty percent of all art sales will benefit the Rainbird Foundation, so be generous and shop madly! Artists’ bios and event details can be found at www.facebook.com/ art4theend. The Rainbird Foundation is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization currently headquartered in Madison, Wisconsin. Roth, who raised her own brood in Stone Ridge, is moving the Foundation back to the Hudson Valley this fall to continue the work of engaging in a conversation for the end of child abuse and building local and global partnerships with individuals and organizations who share the same vision.

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK
Fight the blight! Black walnut trees in peril from thousand cankers disease
C
itizen scientists (that could be you and me), look up at the black walnut’s leaves! At the recent meeting of the New York Nut Growers’ Association (www.nynga.org), Karen Snover-Clift of Cornell University went over the ins and outs of “thousand cankers disease of walnut.” Like Dutch elm disease (which pretty much wiped out American elms, once valued for creating a cathedral effect as their branches arched over tree-lined streets), thousand cankers disease is spread by an insect. But the walnut twig beetle is only part of the problem. When it bores into the bark, it spreads a fungus that clogs up a tree’s “tubes.” With Dutch elm disease, once a tree is infected, the fungal culprit spreads within the tree to kill it. Not so with thousand cankers disease. With this disease, death comes from fungal infection that follows thousands of dark, dead cankers of insect feeding. Who cares about black walnuts? I do. Each fall the trees bear an abundance of nutritious and delicious nuts. (Not delicious to everyone; the strong flavor does not appeal to everyone. But there’s no reason that any food should appeal to everyone, unless you’re MacDonald’s.)
And, quoting from The Tree Book, written in 1914 by Julia Rogers, “The black walnut is majestic as a shade tree – a noble ornament to parks and pleasure grounds. It needs room and distance to show its luxuriant crown and stately trunk to advantage. Then no tree excels it.” And finally, black walnut yields among the most beautiful of woods for furniture and gunstocks. Again quoting Rogers, the wood has “silvery grain, rich violet-purple tones in the brown heartwood [and] exquisite shading of its curly veinings.” Thousand cankers disease moved into the southwestern US from Mexico (Would a wall keep them out? Will Mexico pay for it?) and has remained mostly in that region. Black walnut is native to the eastern US, but the tree has occasionally been planted out west. More importantly, the disease has recently reared its ugly head at a few locations in the east. If infected trees can be identified, the disease can be contained to check its spread. Any tree with an infected branch is usually dead by the end of the season! So look up, scan the tops of any black walnut trees for limbs that are dead or show flagging foliage. Your job, and my job, is to look for these trees and then report them. For a more thorough treatment

of thousand cankers disease, as well as reporting guidelines, see www. thousandcankers.com. A good start in confirming the disease would be to take some good digital photos and send them to the state diagnostic laboratory, the county Cooperative Extension office or Department of Environmental Conservation. I find chipmunks cute, as I’m sure everybody would – except for anyone for whom the chipmunk is a garden pest. This year, for some reason, an especially good crop of chipmunks is scurrying about. I see them everywhere, except on my farmden. Their absence here could be attributed to my dog friends Sammy and Scooter and my cat friend Gracie. I would not tolerate chipmunks if they were to eat my blueberries, my filbert nuts, my…pretty much anything that I’ve painstakingly planted and nurtured. Besides dogs and cats, traps also are effective. As if plants didn’t have enough pest problems: I recently attacked my strawberry bed with my scythe, swinging the sharp blade low enough to cut off every last leaf from the plants. No, I’m not just another plant pest, trying to kill plants; I was “renovating” the bed, preparing it for next spring. Shearing off the leaves not only removes leaves, but also disease spores on the leaves that inevitably find their way into any strawberry bed. Obviously, I raked up the old leaves and carted them over to the compost pile. The next step in renovation was to pull out any weeds in the bed. The major weed in the bed was…strawberries. Strawberries spread by creeping stems, along which grow new plants that take root, making them usually their own worst weed. Each plant needs about a square foot of elbow room to realize its full potential of one quart of berries per plant. So I ruthlessly ripped out enough plants so that my three-foot-wide bed was left with a double row of plants spaced a foot apart. Older plants get decrepit with age, so those were the first to go. Finally, icing on the cake: I laid a oneinch depth of compost all over the bed and tucked it to each of the remaining leafless strawberry crowns. A little fertilizer and straw, pine needles, wood shavings or any other weed-free organic material would

be almost as good. It’s been a few days and already new leaves are sprouting. The plants are on their way to a healthful and healthy crop of sweet, juicy berries next spring. To keep the earth’s average temperature from rising more than two degrees, reducing emissions from fossil fuels is not enough. Take carbon out of the air – and put it in the soil where it serves as organic matter, feeds crops, holds moisture and reduces runoff and erosion. See “carbon farming” in action at Four Winds Farm at 158 Marabac Road in Gardiner on August 23 from 1 to 4 p.m. Jay and Polly Armour have, for 20 years, been practicing techniques that keep carbon in the soil by eliminating tillage. Come to learn and share your best ideas for ways that organic practices can mitigate climate change. Registration fees for this NOFA-NY-sponsored event are $15 per person or $25 for two or more people/ farm.

Hudson Valley Psychic Saturday Meetup in Saugerties “Getting psychics together is like trying to herd cats,” says Anthony Guy Parker, organizer of the Hudson Valley Psychic Saturday Meetup. But it’s a task that he’s committed to doing every last Saturday of the month. “We started last year in Kingston at Monkey Joe’s, then moved on to Inquiring Minds, which is a bigger space: one with lots of tables and chairs and good for giving a talk.” Parker – also known as “TG Tarot” or Tony – put out a call to all locals who are engaged in the paranormal arts, such as empaths, clairvoyants, channelers, intuitives, astrologists, numerologists, palmists and Tarot readers, inviting them to gather together to share and practice their work. He also encourages new readers and budding psychics to join the group, to learn and be coached in the ways and

NIGHT SKY
Will it rain? What those numbers really mean
L
ast week we explored the statistical probabilities of global destruction and winning the lottery. Let’s now make it a two-parter and talk about something much more commonplace, namely: Will it rain? This idea came from some recent dinner guests. The conversation turned to the weather. That’s usually a poor reflection on the host. When people talk about the weather, they’re often desperate for some discussion topic. But these folks brought up an interesting issue. You see, the forecast for the next three days went like this: Sunday, 40 percent chance of rain; Sunday night, 40 percent chance of rain; Monday, 40 percent chance of rain. The guests were all gardeners. It has been a dry summer. Nobody really wanted to spend an hour watering. Everyone wanted rain. The question was: If the Weather Service’s forecasts were accurate, then what were the chances that it would rain sometime in the period? What do you think? With a 40 percent chance tomorrow, tomorrow night and then again the next day, what are the chances that we’ll get rain any time during that entire period? One person at the table said 40 percent. Another thought it was less than that. Another guessed it might be as much as a coin toss, or 50/50. I did some quick math and revealed the surprising answer: Rain was about 80 percent likely. Everyone was amazed – which means that it’s a good topic for this page. Here’s how you calculate multiple probabilities: First, you determine the odds that it won’t rain. In this case, it’s 60 percent for each of the three periods in question. So you grab your calculator and punch in 0.6 times 0.6 times 0.6 and this equals 0.216. Bingo:
With a 40 percent chance tomorrow, tomorrow night and then again the next day, what are the chances that we’ll get rain any time during that entire period?
means of seeing “beneath the veil” of everyday life. The meetups are open to the general public, too. Whether you know something about the paranormal or simply want to have your curiosity satisfied, the group welcomes one and all. At each meet-up, a “psychic of the month” gives a talk on different paranormal subjects. Parker is very excited about the people who have turned up to be a part of the meetups. “We’ve had Rachel Pollack of Tarot Wisdom fame; Tarot diva Sasha Graham; Robert Place, artist and author known for his work on Tarot history, symbolism and divination; Chronogram astrologist and editor of Planet Waves Eric Francis Coppolino; and psychic medium Brittany Fiero. And that “Ghost Hunter,” Barry Pirro. All these people are wellknown professionals who have written books or have been on television. At each event, someone does a presentation or lecture for about an hour. Then we break up and do readings for the ridiculous rate of a dollar per minute.” Come meet some of the psychics of the Hudson Valley on the last Saturday of every month. Admission is completely free; the $1-per-minute fees for vetted readings are paid directly to the readers. And if you want to share your talents and offer readings, contact Parker to register and be put on the agenda. – Ann Hutton Hudson Valley Psychic Saturday Meetup, Saturday, July 30, 3-6 p.m., Inquiring Minds Coffeehouse & Bookstore, 65 Partition Street, Saugerties; (845) 2465775, tgparker2010@gmail.com, www. facebook.com/search/top/?q=hudson%20 valley%20psychic%20meetup.

Inquiring Minds to spotlight The Fermented Man on Friday
SSG ROBERT STEWART
Those are the odds that it will not rain during the entire three periods in question. It’s 21.6 percent. Finally, you subtract this from one to get the chance that it will rain: 78.4 percent. Roughly speaking, there’s an 80 percent chance that it will rain. Amazing, right? Let’s do another, for practice. Say the Weather Service predicts only a 30 percent chance of rain today, and again tonight and again tomorrow. Now you multiply 0.7 times 0.7 times 0.7, which equals 0.343, which means a 34 percent chance of not raining – thus, a 66 percent chance that it will rain during the period. If this sounds illogical, consider that 30 percent is roughly a one-in-three chance. Pretend you had three marbles in a bag: one red and two green. You blindly reach in and pull out a marble. What are the odds that you’ll get the red one? It’s one in three, right? But now pretend you get three chances. If you first pull out a green one, you throw it back and get another try, and then a third try. Doesn’t logic tell you that with three chances, you’re likely to succeed? Similarly, with three chances for rain, even if it’s just a one-in-three probability each time, you’re likely to get wet when the three periods in question have elapsed. So keep those umbrellas (and calculators) handy. – Bob Berman Want to know more? To read Bob’s previous “Night Sky” columns, visit our Almanac Weekly website at HudsonValleyAlmanacWeekly.com.

Talk on coexisting with coyotes in Woodstock on Thursday
Derek Dellinger, brewmeister at the Kent Falls Brewing 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 brand-new book: The Fermented Man: A Year on the Front Lines of a Food Revolution, just pub-
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.

the hidden animated “pocket monsters.” Then, you throw a Pokéball to try to catch it. Each Pokémon you catch earns you experience points and adds that Pokémon to your inventory. When you run out of Pokéballs, you need to find a virtual Pokéstop, located at interesting places, such as monuments, libraries, colleges, historic sites, shopping areas or restaurants. Once you reach Level 5, you can join a team and battle at a virtual Pokégym, which are located at large gathering places like the Pokéstops. Trainers use their own Pokémon to challenge the defenders at a Pokégym to claim that gym for their team – at least until the next challenger comes along. My family was pretty excited to claim a Pokégym for the blue team at Six Flags Great Escape the other day, until it was taken over by the yellow team about six seconds later. Pokémon Go is being used in hospitals and senior centers to encourage children and the elderly to leave their beds and go exploring, or in physical therapy, to move their limbs in a particular way to “catch” the Pokémon.

One easy, delicious, local and family-friendly approach is to attend Empty Bowls, hosted by the Maple Ridge Bruderhof this Saturday, July 30 from 2 to 5 p.m. For each $25 donation, you choose a handmade bowl in which to enjoy homemade hot or cold soups, as well as an informal buffet dinner consisting of a fresh salad bar with homegrown produce, traditional brick oven breads and “grill variety.” Additional handcrafted items are available for sale, such as breadboards, breadbaskets, cheeseboards and salad tongs, and all proceeds help to fight hunger in our community. Children age 12 and under get in free. Got a business or organization? Demonstrate your commitment to the cause with a sponsorship. The Maple Ridge Bruderhof is located at 10 Hellbrook Lane in Ulster Park. For reservations or more information, call (845) 339-6680 or e-mail emptybowls@ccimail.com. – Erica Chase-Salerno

Game-design workshop at Murrow Park in Pawling Do your kids constantly invent new games to play? Or perhaps just new rules to keep you guessing? But when was the last time they met other real-life game inventors? On Saturday, July 30 from 12 noon to 5 p.m. at the Edward R. Murrow Park, meet Josh Paugh and Ben Krieger, the creators of Ambyria: Shroud of the Shadow Demon. Ambyria is a fantasy card game for ages 11 and up where the players strive to collect the most ember stones. You and your crew can play the game, learn how to play or just watch. Got other favorite games? Bring them along to teach and play those, too! And you can talk to Josh and Ben about the game-designing process. This event is free and open to the public, and I heard that the Bakeria will be there offering some of its epic coffeecake. Murrow Park is located at 92 Lakeside Drive in Pawling.

The Secret City gathers at the Bearsville Theater Where do all of the cool kids gather for the freshest art, food, performance and music around? Why, the Secret City, of course! Described as a non-religious church service and filled with spirit and energy, this year’s theme is Play and features the fierce Hudson Valley Horrors roller-derby troupe; Soul Train dancer Eric Redd; the fantastic vegan foodie Lagusta, of Lagusta’s Luscious and the Commissary; and amazing local guest artist Jacinta Bunnell, whom you know from her smart and beautiful paintings and
terrific coloring books: Sometimes the Spoon Runs Away with Another Spoon, Girls Are Not Chicks and The Big Gay Alphabet Coloring Book. All of these folks seem to embody this Secret City 2016 quote by Alan Watts in different ways: “This is the real secret of life: to be completely engaged with what you are doing in the here and now. And instead of calling it work, realize it is play.” This “pagan/queer/straight/inclusive/ art/fun/deep/community/barnraising tent revival” takes place on Sunday, July 31 at 12 noon and includes free childcare as well as free art lessons for kids. Bring a treat for the post-service coffee hour. The suggested donation is $15, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds.

I guess if I could give anyone one single piece of advice about finding a home it is, while you’re busy looking for the perfect house, you’ll probably miss the imperfect house that could make you perfectly happy. Let’s face it, much like life, a home is what you make it into. It is mortar and wood and floors and ceilings, what you make it into reflects upon who you are. There is an area in Woodstock called “The Flats.” It was originally low cost housing built in the 50’s and 60’s. They were very simple and plain. Today, most of these low-end homes are loved, filled with the diversity and charm of the people that own them. They weren’t perfect at one time, now they perfectly fill lives with family Wi nM or ris and joy. on

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.
