1. Moth-viewing expedition in Kingston this Friday The general attitude toward the humble moth can be discerned through a simple Google search that reveals that it’s the moth’s eradication that most people are interested in. Moths are in the same family as butterflies – the order Lepidoptera, from the Latin for “scaled-wings� – but nobody is planting “moth gardens� to welcome the butterfly’s drab cousins into their backyards. Butterflies are perceived as a symbol of beauty and transformation, but moths are usually seen as pesky nuisances whose only transformative associations are with ruined textiles. But if Mark DeDea has anything to say about that, those perceptions may change. DeDea is president of the John Burroughs Natural History Society and the coordinator of its community field trips. He has come up with a novel field excursion centered around identifying moths, slated for Friday, August 14 at 8 p.m. at the Hasbrouck Park Overlook in Kingston: a place that DeDea calls “one of the underutilized parks in the region, with the best view in Kingston, along with a pretty dramatic view of the Rondout and the Hudson River.� Participants on the field trip – which is free to attend and open to all – will seek out the moth in all its variations in order to shed some light on these often-ignored or reviled insects. There are many thousands of species of moths and some of them are quite beautiful, with detailed wing patterns and colorations rivaling those of their butterfly relations. The best news, when it comes to rehabilitating the moth’s reputation, is that not all moths eat fibers. (Clothing moths, if anyone is keeping track, belong to the Tinea pellionella and Tineola bisselliella species.) No need to be that scientific on this field trip, however. DeDea says that it’ll be a casual thing, and nobody should feel like they have to have any proficiency on the topic to join in. “We want newbies to come with us and ask lots of questions. We’re a volunteer organization dedicated to all native, natural elements in the Hudson Valley, and we like to share that passion and interest with others.� DeDea will facilitate the identification of the moths by setting up a white linen cloth with special lights projected onto it. “At the top of the Overlook at the Hasbrouck there are no streetlights,� he explains, “so they’ll be drawn to this light and land on the linen. It’ll be an opportunity to get a good look at them, and we’ll use binoculars and field guides to identify them. I make no claims of being an expert moth-man, but there are actually some pretty amazing ones when you look. They’re a part of our natural world that we take for granted; we just call them all ‘moths’ and that’s the end of it.� This field trip will be a little different from most of the excursions sponsored by the John Burroughs Natural History Society. Unlike the early-morning birding trips on which hardcore birders don’t let anything get in the way of their observations, this expedition is on a Friday night, and participants are encouraged to bring along something to snack on or to drink. If the sky is clear enough, there’ll be the opportunity for some stargazing with spotting scopes. If the group is quiet enough, says DeDea, “We’ll probably hear several species of owls: barred owls and great horned and screech owls that breed right within earshot of the park. And we could have migrant nighthawks that fly over the Hudson Valley in that timeframe. “There’s so much more that goes on in the dark of night that we don’t think about,� he says. “We’re just trying to open up our eyes and our minds a little bit.� – Sharyn Flanagan Moths/stargazing field trip, Friday, August 14, 8 p.m., free, Hasbrouck Park

2. Celtic Festival this weekend at Hunter Mountain According to Winston Churchill, the Irish were always a little bit odd. “They simply refuse to be English,â€? he said. At Hunter Mountain’s International Celtic Festival this Saturday and Sunday, August 15 and 16, festivalgoers can celebrate the Irish insistence on being true to itself in its own inimitable way through live Irish music and dance, bagpipes and drummers, traditional Irish fare and beverages. Sunday will also feature a bagpipe competition, with judges provided by the Eastern US Pipe Band Association, a non-profit group dedicated to improving all aspects of solo and band bagpipe and drums music. Following the competition, the participants will join an impressive array of hundreds of bagpipers and drummers performing in unison in a Mass March down the mountainside. Since you couldn’t have a Celtic Festival without live Irish music, there’ll be plenty of that on tap. Scheduled to perform are the American Rogues, Shilelagh Law,

Andy Cooney, Barleyjuice, Off Kilter, Derek Dempsey and Celtic Soul, the Narrowbacks, the Little Creek Band, Seamus Kennedy, Blackwater, Ed Ryan, the Donny Golden Dancers and the Ulster County AOH Pipe & Drum. Dozens of vendors will be on hand offering traditional Irish food and beverages, and on Saturday night, the Festival will be capped off with a display of fireworks at 10 p.m. The kids will have their own area, too, with a tent featuring a wildlife show, puppet shows, jugglers and more. There will even be a Catholic Mass conducted at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday by Father Francis Pizzarelli of Hope House Ministries, accompanied musically by the Andy Cooney Band. Admission to the International Celtic Festival costs $16 for adults; those age 12 and under get in free. There is a 50 percent discount for festivalgoers with a military ID. Group rates are available, as are discounts for advance purchase online. Pets are not permitted on the festival grounds. The gates open at noon on Saturday and 10 a.m. on Sunday. For a full schedule of entertainment and more information, visit www.huntermtn.com/ summer/festivals/international-celticfestival or call (800) 486-8376. – Sharyn Flanagan

Give a dog a bone Earth Angels Veterinary Hospital in Wappingers Falls collects pet food donations for the homeless this week

W

ho hasn’t wondered about the scruffy homeless guy sitting on the sidewalk next to his dog with a sign requesting a handout so that both of them can eat today? Maybe his dog isn’t so scruffy, and you think that he might be using the dog to get sympathy. Maybe it’s not even his dog. Or consider the possibility – the certain fact, perhaps – that the dog is his only connection to LBH: life before homelessness. And the connection is one thing that the guy just couldn’t see giving up when he landed on the streets. According to data collected by the National Coalition on Homelessness, 3.5 million Americans are without a place to call home. Between five and 24 percent of homeless people, depending on which area of the country they come from, have dogs and/or cats – creatures not typically welcomed in shelters, but ones who provide emotional comfort to marginal folks in dire straits. The dog might be the guy’s only friend and companion. Pets of the Homeless is a nonprofit organization that provides pet food and emergency veterinary care to this population of pet-owners in local communities across the US and Canada. Recognizing that every homeless person has a unique story – some have lost their homes and jobs, some have mental disorders, some are addicts or parolees or veterans – and believing in the healing power of companion pets, Pets of the Homeless is dedicated to helping people take care of their pets, thereby relieving them of the anguish and anxiety that they might feel by not being able to provide for their animal friends. This is accomplished by enrolling veterinarians and pet-related businesses in the organization as donation collection sites; campaigning food distribution organizations on the importance of distributing pet food to their less-fortunate clients; speaking out on the issue of pets of the homeless and disadvantaged; funding licensed veterinarians and other nonprofit organizations to administer veterinary care to pets of the homeless at spay-and-neuter wellness clinics and at emergency veterinary care agencies (in six years of operation, over 12,000 pets have been treated through the program); and providing funds for crates to nonprofit homeless shelters

4. An Evening on Auroville at Woodstock Community Center Auroville, an international community near Pondicherry in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu, was founded in 1968 by Mirra Alfassa, a/k/a the Mother, as a project of the Sri Aurobindo Society. According to

BALINESE GAMELAN Workshop for Beginners Saturdays in August from 11 am - 1 pm

its charter, this experimental “universal township” “belongs to humanity as a whole,” and it is currently home to about 2,500 people from 46 countries. Designed by the late French architect Roger Anger, Auroville is laid out in a spiral pattern centered on a domed meditation center. Its commitment to innovative building strategies, alternative energy generation and other sustainable living strategies has earned it numerous awards and thousands of visitors over the years. But not everyone committed to the Auroville vision and the practice of Aurobindo’s “integral yoga” is able to live there permanently. The organization Auroville International (AVI) exists as a network in Canada, Europe, Asia and South America, and the Sri Aurobindo Association for US supporters. The Matagiri Sri Aurobindo Center in Mount Tremper serves as the US organization’s headquarters in our neck of the woods. This week AVI’s Board of Directors will meet at Matagiri, and Phoenicia’s Menla Center for Health and Happiness (a/k/a the Menla Mountain Retreat) will host the organization’s annual All USA Meeting (AUM).

that will allow pets sanctuary with their owners. Earth Angels Veterinary Hospital in Wappingers Falls is a now a designated collection site for both food donations and monetary contributions to Pets of the Homeless. “Homelessness is still an issue even as the economy brightens,” says practice manager Robert Codacovi. “Those left in the shadows and on the streets with pets are in need of pet food. We’re asking the community to bring donations of pet food and supplies to our hospital.” This is Earth Angel’s first year participating in “Give a Dog a Bone Week,” a nationwide campaign launched by Pets of the Homeless to raise awareness and generate interest in alleviating the suffering of pets on the streets with their owners. During the week of August 10 through 16, the hospital will be collecting pet food and related goods for the sixth national Give a Dog a Bone Week. Bring unopened bags and cans of pet foods and any other supplies that you’d want for your own Fifi or Brutus to Earth Angels Veterinary Hospital from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday and every other Saturday; from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Wednesday and Friday; and from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Thursday. According to Pets of the Homeless founder Genevieve Frederick, “Since 2008, collection site members have taken over 366 tons of pet food and supplies to homeless shelters, food banks and soup kitchens across the country. The need is great for communities to continue to donate to this ongoing effort.” – Ann Hutton Give a Dog a Bone: National Pet Food Drive, August 10-16, Earth Angels Veterinary Hospital, 8 Nancy Court, Suite 1, Wappingers Falls; (845) 227-PAWS (7297), www. earthangelsvet.com, www.petsofthehomeless.org.

Themed “Seeds of Light,” AUM 2015 will run from Thursday to Sunday, August 20 to 23 at Menla. The long weekend will include updates on the work of the various Auroville International Centers, a retrospective on the cultural shift brought about by the Woodstock Festival, a celebration of music and dance and a series of experiential workshops and presentations. Alan Sasha Lithman, an Auroville pioneer known as Savitra, will give the keynote address on Friday and an “Evolutionary Intensive” workshop. A public presentation by current and past Auroville residents will be held on Wednesday evening at the Woodstock Community Center. A number of area residents who have visited Auroville will participate in describing their journey and experiences; AVI representatives from Spain, UK, Germany, Holland, Canada and Argentina, in the area to attend the international conference, will also be on hand. Persons interested in peace, international understanding, organic farming, permaculture, alternative energy, holistic education and spirituality are all invited to learn more about the Auroville experiment. The Auroville presentation will take

Jam4TheEnd2 concert & auction in Stone Ridge this Friday to raise funds to end child abuse Rainbird Foundation founder Hanna Roth, along with locals Brittany Carroll and Jillian Brown, have put out the invitation for the second year running to an event where really cool people get together to rock out for the end of child abuse. The second annual Jam4TheEnd2 evening of great music and dancing, food and drinks and an awesome silent auction and raffle takes place this Friday, August 14 at the Marbletown Community Center in Stone Ridge. You won’t want to miss the lineup of performers that includes Roxanne Domer, Dave Merrill, the Wellcome Home Band, Annalise Azadian, the Fasads, Marji Zintz and Natalia Ramirez, with a special visit from the Gloria Waslyn’s Parrots for Peace. Delicious edibles are being donated by a number of generous food and drink vendors: Saunderskill Farm, Kelder’s, Davenport’s, Adams Fairacre Farms, Hudson Valley Flatbread frozen cheese pizzas, Diego’s Street corn, chips and salsa, Emmanuel’s, the Main Course Restaurant, Keegan’s Ale, J. K. Liquor and many other independent wine and liquor stores. Benny’s is donating a full meal for all of the musicians, too. And the donations for the silent auction and raffle are amazing! How about a two-night stay at the impeccable Blue Willow B & B, a quaint 1750 stone-house


August 13, 2015 bed-and-breakfast in Stone Ridge? Or a weekend rental of a motorcycle from Woodstock Harley Davidson, plus groovy tee-shirt to wear while you’re zooming around the county? Or a basket full of incredible kitchen goodies from Hammertown in Rhinebeck? Or a Cloud 9 Exotics racecar package called the Bolt Experience: a four-lap race at one of a number of racetrack locations? And there are lots more: a family four-pack for the Bardavon’s Friday Night Classics plus one-year membership to the Bardavon and the Ulster Performing Arts Center; stained glass by Jean Dimarco; tickets for the Top of the Rock Observation Deck at Rockefeller Plaza for two; a one-month membership to MAC with four personal training sessions; paintings by Eugene Stetz; golf for four at the Rondout Golf Club, New Paltz Golf Course, Mohonk and Wiltwyck; David Urso earrings from the Green Cottage; plus gift certificates from the Mela Salon, Jeanne Hildenbrand Photo, Birch Body Care, the Egg’s Nest, Shea O’Brien’s, the Stockade Bar, Charlie Murray Framed Photographs, Dallas Hot Weiner, Sissy’s Café, Outdated Café, Dominick’s, Rhino Records, Kids’ Basket, Anna Goyette book beads, Dreamweavers and Blue Mountain Bistro-to-Go. The Rainbird Foundation is a nonprofit organization committed to the end of child abuse – not the awareness nor the prevention of child abuse; rather, fully ending the physical and/or emotional, and often-systematic, abuse of children on the planet. Rainbird is out to alter the prevailing conversation about child abuse: that it’s culturally embedded, that nothing can really be done about it, that it’s none of our business what people someplace else do to their kids. Instead, the organization is intent on creating a shift from resignation and disconnection to informed, positive action on behalf of children around the world. Rainbird now operates in three countries – the Philippines, Uganda and the US – to intervene on behalf of children. “People are terrified of the subject of child abuse,” says Roth. “We came up with the ‘4TheEnd’ events so that people can do any kind of event they choose, to raise funds and support the actions: Eat4theEnd, Run4theEnd, Game4theEnd, Walk4theEnd. While people are having fun, they’re doing it for the end of child abuse. And when they come to these events, they can begin to confront the issue. “We want to have an event every weekend someplace in the country. Next year, we’ll do a whole day of music and dancing in Stone Ridge, not just an evening. We had more bands who wanted to be involved this year, but we couldn’t fit them into the schedule.” Roth talks about the importance of really studying the problem no matter how discomfiting it is, to understand why child abuse exists only in the “white noise” around us. She talks about the levels of corruption and the money trail – or lack of money – that exists wherever there is child abuse. The organization works to develop partnerships with people and other organizations to achieve its purpose, through education on what actions to take and financial support of those actions. They organize communities and put

ALMANAC WEEKLY pressure wherever it’s needed. “It’s all about empowerment and activating the community,” says Roth. “The greatest untapped resource we’ve got is our community. Our public services are not going to take care of it. We think we’re powerless, but we have the ultimate power. I want a group here in New York, and start empowering the public.” Meanwhile, let’s party.

There’s no place like Comeau Woodstock Shakespeare Festival’s free Wizard of Oz opens this weekend

Long before The Wizard of Oz became an iconic movie, it was the first volume in a series of 14 books, and saw its initial stage adaptation in 1902 as a musical. Innumerable reincarnations later, the beloved children’s classic has been adapted once more, by Woodstock’s own David Aston-Reese and Jerry James, for presentation as the second offering of this summer’s Woodstock Shakespeare Festival. The new production is intended as a celebration of the Bird-on-a-Cliff Theater Company’s 20th anniversary, with free performances beginning at 5 p.m. every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from August 14 to September 6 at the Outdoor Elizabethan Theatre on Woodstock’s Comeau Property. Aston-Reese directs and also performs the role of the Wizard, with the rest of the cast comprising Rebecca Kisch as Dorothy, William Sanderson as the Tin Man, Joe Bongiorno as the Scarecrow, Peter Sorrentino as the Cowardly Lion, Elli Michaels as the Witches and Bethany Goldpaugh Brown in a variety of supporting roles. It’s a great excuse for a family picnic, so bring a blanket or folding chairs and a portable feast (insect repellent is also recommended). The outdoor theatre is located at 45 Comeau Drive, off Tinker Street. – Frances Marion Platt Photo caption: Peter Sorrentino as the Cowardly Lion, William Sanderson as the Tin Man, and Joe Bongiorno as the Scarecrow rehearse a scene from Bird-OnA-Cliff Theater Company’s production of The Wizard of Oz.

Basilica Hudson hosts Music from High Peaks, Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival’s An Iliad this weekend Basilica Hudson hosts a weekend of music and theater on August 14 and 16 featuring two area arts organizations: the Catskill High Peaks Festival and the Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival. Both will present performances – one of chamber music and one of the Obie Award-winning play An Iliad – in the contemporary setting of Basilica Hudson’s expansive performance space. On Friday, August 14 at 8 p.m., the Catskill High Peaks Festival presents “Music from High Peaks,” a program that features chamber and orchestral music including a rare cello chorus playing Julius Klengel’s Hymnus for 12 Cellos.

Homer’s epic poem on the Greek siege of the city of Troy is recreated with famed heroes and bloody battles, beginning in the ninth year of the war that began with the kidnapping of the famed beauty Helen. The New York Times described An Iliad as “spellbinding… an age-old story that resonates with tragic meaning today.” Tickets cost $15 in advance and $20 at the door, with a student/senior price of $15. For more information, visit www.hvshakespeare.org. For tickets and more information, visit www.basilicahudson.org. Basilica is located at 110 South Front Street in Hudson.

The Fifth Anniversary Celebration is free and open to all. The Rosendale Theatre is a nonprofit, mostly volunteer-run organization. RTC director Ann Citron said, “The Rosendale Theatre Collective is now five years strong. When we all began this adventure, we knew we wanted to broaden our programming to include youth arts, and this summer has proven the necessity and impact. We offered theater, music, filmmaking and now our own program: a Puppetry and Theatre Arts Immersion workshop. These young people are the artists of the future; we plan on nurturing them.” The full production of Outbounders and Dreamers will be performed at the Rosendale Theatre on Friday, August 21 at 5:30 p.m. Tickets cost $8 for adults, $5 for children, with a family package price of $20. People are invited to make signs and birthday cards at the Creative Co-op on Tuesday, August 18 from 6 to 8 p.m. Feel free to bring art supplies.

F

or the 15th year, jazz takes to the riverside in Poughkeepsie. The Jazz in the Valley Festival at Waryas Park is no mere regional jazzfest; the lineups have always featured a few names well-known outside of jazz’s small-but-fierce community of interest. This year, the lineup includes a fully licensed card-carrying member of the eternal jazz pantheon in Ron Carter: a prolific composer and bandleader, a key player in the Miles Davis story and a first-call bassist in the Golden Age of Bop and beyond – one who worked with Wes Montgomery, Bill Evans, Jim Hall, Sarah Vaughn, Stan Getz, Antonio Carlos Jobim and a list that just doesn’t end or weaken much as it goes: Herbie

Hancock, Yusef Lateef, Eric Dolphy, Gil Evans, Sonny Rollins, Mingus, A Tribe Called Quest. Carter performs in a trio also featuring the Jazz in the Valley artistic director/tenor saxophonist Javon Jackson, a member of Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers who has also performed with Elvin Jones, Freddie Hubbard and many more. Bill Charlap also performs with his trio. An elegant traditionalist and a towering presence in New York City, Charlap assumed the seat of artistic director of the 92nd Street Y jazz program from the legendary Dick Hyman.

At Jazz in the Valley, Charlap will be paying tribute to the pianist Ahmad Jamal, who performed at the first Festival. The press materials surrounding younggun reed specialist Tia Fuller always note the phenom’s time in Beyoncé’s band. Fuller’s jazz creds go way beyond that: The full-time professor at the Berklee School of Music tours regularly with artists such as Terri Lyne Carrington, Esperanza Spalding and Dianne Reeves. She has also performed with Geri Allen, the Nancy Wilson Jazz Orchestra, the Jon Faddis Jazz Orchestra, Jill Scott, Dionne Warwick, Janelle Monet, Erykah Badu and Aretha Franklin. Fuller’s sessions as leader are not at all the kind of crossover efforts that list might suggest, though; 2012’s Angelic Warrior, like the two releases before it, are challenging and polished modern jazz, composition-

A longtime first-call percussionist, Kroon has recorded with such artists as Luther Vandross, Diana Krall, Aretha Franklin, Roberta Flack, the Temptations, Spyro Gyra and Paul Butterfield. Arturo O’Farrill created the Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra for Jazz at Lincoln Center in 2002, and their recordings have gone on to win a Grammy Award for Best Latin Jazz Album and to earn two other Grammy nominations. O’Farrill gained early prominence in the Carla Bley Big Band from 1979 through 1983.

While King Crimson’s legacy as one of the most significant progressive rock bands (and one that never called itself a “progressive rock” band) stems back to 1969’s groundbreaking In the Court of the Crimson King, it could be argued that the band’s most stable, lasting and influential lineup was the one that kicked off with 1981’s essential Discipline and that carried on with various lineup tweaks through 2003’s The Power to Believe. At the core of that band was the guitar interplay of Robert Fripp (the band’s only constant) and the wildly imaginative sideman and solo artist Adrian Belew. That ensemble’s low-fat, nimble rhythm section usually featured Tony Levin and various drummers – primarily Bill Bruford earlier, and Pat Mastelotto later. The legacy of their challenging music lives on in the work of several different ensembles, including the trio of Belew, Levin and Mastelotto, who perform at the Bearsville Theater on Thursday, August 13 at 8 p.m. Tickets cost $25 in advance and $30 on the day of the show.

“village” on the fairgrounds behind the festival proper where they set up and compete for prize money (and bragging rights). The Hudson Valley RibFest is affiliated with the Empire State BBQ Championship Challenge, a statewide series of competitive barbecue events intended to promote the love of barbecue. The local event in New Paltz will have 60 teams (up from 50 last year) competing for those cash prizes and the title of “Grand Champion.” On Saturday afternoon, The New England Barbecue Society grilling contest will offer four categories for competitors: pizza, wrapped in bacon, sliders and an apple dessert competition. Sunday’s competitions will feature The Kansas City Barbeque Society (KCBS), who will compete in four different categories:

DINE IN • SUSHI BAR -TAKE OUT

The food festival has all of the things you’d expect to find at a county fair: hot dogs, hamburgers, fried pickles, fried dough, milkshakes, smoothies, lemonade, kettle corn, soft pretzels, Italian ices, homemade pie and cider donuts and roasted sweet corn. But at center stage is barbecue in all its variations: hot and spicy, sweet or savory but always tender and falling off the bone. Repeat and new barbecue vendors will offer full dinners with sides or individual portions of chicken, brisket or racks of ribs. One of the best ways to do the Fest is to get halfracks of ribs from multiple vendors and sample them all with a friend. The lines can be long at each individual purveyor, but it doesn’t take as long as one might think to reach the front of the line, and oh, the rewards. Make a stop at the centrally located beer tent, and you’re all set. The family friendly event features a “RibFest Express” kiddy train to tour the fairgrounds and a kids’ section with crafts, activities, inflatable bouncy houses, climbing wall and dunking booth. For adults, cooking demonstrations featuring area chefs will be held in a special tent and there are plenty of specialty foods to purchase and take home for another day.

The music festival On Friday evening, August 14, things will kick off with classic country and pop tunes by Alison Peratikos at 6 p.m. followed by Williams Honor from Asbury Park at 7:15 p.m. featuring singer Reagan Richards and multi-instrumentalist Gordon Brown singing modern country. At 8:15 p.m. Olivia Lane takes the stage. Saturday’s lineup of entertainment begins at noon with WRWD’s Country Showdown Semi-Finals and country line dancing at 1:30 p.m. with the Premier Dancers. From 5-8 p.m. the Hudson Valley-based Cagneys will offer a mix of slow ballads and energetic rock performed with the group’s signature four-part harmonies. The evening’s entertainment will close with Lucy Angels from 8:15 to

Pollination Walk at Woodstock’s Thorn Preserve Bees have been big newsmakers in recent years, albeit not in the most welcome of ways. They’ve been under siege. We’ve all started to realize how much we need them. Efforts are underway to increase their numbers, their protections. This Saturday, August 15, the Catskill Center is leading a 9 a.m. Honeybee Pollination Walk with beekeeper Chris Layman at the Woodstock Land Conservancy’s wonderful Thorn Preserve, located at 50 John Joy Road in Woodstock. In addition to discussing the pollination process and the importance of pollen to the life of the honeybee, Layman will also present a brief overview of the history of Woodstock bee forage, identify the plants that attract the honeybees to this rich, diverse landscape and discuss the benefits of foraging near riparian zones.

The Thorn Preserve is a 60-acre microbiome of largely open fields of wildflowers that bees and other insects pollinate as they collect nectar for their own sustenance.

All about Bees at Bear Mountain I feel like an extra champion of bees this year, because some variety of sunflower seeds must have dropped out of the suet in my birdfeeder and germinated, and we ended up with some crazy tall blooms that the bees just love! So as an accidental bee advocate, I invite you to learn more about this critical population in our ecosystem by attending the All about Bees Family Program at the Trailside Museums and Zoo this Tuesday, August 18 at 10:30 a.m. Geared toward young children, the session includes fun games about pollination, and each family will take home a mason bee hotel, which will attract these pollinators to your yard. Registration is required. The Trailside Museums and Zoo are located at Bear Mountain State Park, at 55 Hessian Drive in Bear Mountain. For more information or to register, call (845) 786-2701, extension 293, e-mail emma. congalton@parks.ny.gov or visit www. trailsidezoo.org.

Y

oung Adult (YA) literature and graphic novels are two book genres that are both alive and well in the marketplace and being taken more seriously by folks with fingers on the contemporary cultural pulse. The Hudson Valley YA Society, headquartered at Oblong Books & Music in Rhinebeck, has been around for five years now, and will celebrate that milestone on Sunday, August 16 by welcoming a local gal who made good for a book-signing event. Rhinebeck native Lucy Knisley (the daughter of a chef and gourmet) has been taking the art of memoir into new and interesting places by rendering her true-life adventures in the graphic format formerly reserved for fiction – and hitting The New York Times’s bestseller list in the process with works like French Milk and Relish. Knisley will put in an appearance at Oblong at 4 p.m. on the 16th. During the fifth-anniversary event, all in-stock autographed YA books will be discounted by 20 percent. There will also be a Book Swap, in which customers are invited to bring in five “gently used” YA books or comics, appropriate for ages 12 to 18, to swap with other readers. Oblong Books & Music is located at 6422 Montgomery Street in Rhinebeck. For more info call (845) 876-0500 or visit www.oblongbooks.com. – Frances Marion Platt

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

Gardening as yoga

13

Charles Darwin computed that earthworms completely turn over the upper six inches of a pasture soil every ten to 20 years – in England, at least.

Not compacting the soil is sometimes a bit of a stretch

I

n the past, I have written of reiking and sai-thing as two of the many healthful exercises offered here at the Springtown Farmden Health Spa. We now have a new offering at the spa: garden yoga or, more catchy, gardoga or yõgdening. I like the last one best. Yõgdening grew out of my respect for the soil, my desire to maintain and foster a healthy balance of life belowground. A healthy population of bacteria, fungi, worms, actinomycetes and other belowground dwellers translates to healthy plants aboveground. Those beneficial creatures need to breathe, which is why most gardeners and farmers till their soil: to aerate it. But tilling a soil also burns up valuable organic matter. This organic matter feeds soil organisms and, in turn, plants, makes nutrients already in the ground more accessible to plants, helps hold moisture for plants and helps aerate the soil. I avoid the need to till my soil for aeration by almost never walking, rolling a wheelbarrow or allowing any other traffic where plants are growing. Plants in fields and forest grow well despite never being tilled, except what earthworms and other small animals manage to do. (No small amount: Charles Darwin computed that earthworms completely turn over the upper six inches of a pasture soil every ten to 20 years – in England, at least.) Getting back to yõgdening: Weeds are making inroads into certain parts of my gardens. Not my vegetable gardens, the three-foot-wide plant beds of which I keep well-weeded with my feet firmly planted in the 18-inch-wide paths bordering the beds. But the only way that I can reach into some other planted areas – a bed of various flowers sprawling beneath some Asian pear espaliers, for example – is by stepping into them. To minimize foot traffic, after stepping into a planted area, I try to keep my foot anchored in place, from which I pull every weed that I can reach. As you might imagine, reaching every weed possible with feet planted in one place calls for all sorts of contortions and stretches forwards, backwards and sideways involving my legs, trunk, shoulders, arms and neck. My guess is that after a half-hour of weeding, I’ve run through a close approximation of Utthia Trikonãsana (Triangle Pose), Virabhadrãsana (Warrior Pose) and Uttãnãsana (Standing Forward Fold Pose), to name a few classic yoga poses – and cleared away weeds! Weeding (or perhaps I should write “we-

ding,” another spa offering) is especially satisfying this time of year. Dry weather has slowed sprouting of new weeds, so cleared areas remain clear. Dry weather is also good for fruitripening – that is, ripening rather than rotting. As sweetness develops in ripening fruits, they become more susceptible to rotting. Fungi, like humans, can make quicker use of simple sugars than more complex carbohydrates, such as are found in unripe fruits. Fruits with thin skins are especially susceptible to attack from fungi. For a variety of reasons, known and unknown, this has been a good year for plums. In past years, late frosts in spring have snuffed out blossoms or plum curculio has caused many, if not all, plumlets to rain to the ground. This year, blossom buds were unscathed from winter cold or spring frosts; curculios were kept at bay by my spraying Surround, a commercial product that is nothing more than kaolin clay. Current dry weather should also limit plums’ other nemesis: brown rot, a fungal disease that turns ripening fruit gray and fuzzy and then, at the end of the season, into dark brown, shriveled mummies. (Of course, beautiful clear days are often followed by clear nights during which water, in the form of dew, condenses on fruits and leaves.) The mummies hang from the branches, along with cankers on branches, to spread spores and infection the following year. Fallen mummies are also a source of the following season’s infection. Brown rot gets to work early in the season, around blossom time, and then later in the season, as fruits are ripening – which is now, for my Shiro plums. Early in the season, I added sulfur – a naturally mined mineral whose use as a fungicide goes back to the ancient Greeks – to the mix when I was spraying Surround. Supplementing that spraying was cleaning up hanging and fallen mummies at the end of the season, and promoting drying of branches and fruits with pruning and thinning-out of excess fruits. The upshot is that some brown rot is showing up on ripening plums, but not all of them. And those that have been spared are delectable. Even the birds

Lee yõgdening in his New Paltz farmden think so. Their peckings, unfortunately, like wounds inflicted by plum curculios, increase fruits’ susceptibility to brown rot. Tomatoes are growing like gangbusters, here and in other gardens that I’ve seen locally. And the fruits are likewise growing very plump. But the scene is not as rosy as it should be – literally, because too many of the tomatoes are still green. Again, other local gardens mimic my experience. How are your tomatoes doing this year? Day after day of bright sunny weather and moderate temperatures should have promoted ripening. Then again, day after day of rainy weather last month might have retarded it. At any rate, in gardening

and farming, you can’t go wrong blaming the weather. – Lee Reich Any gardening questions? E-mail Lee at garden@leereich.com and he’ll try answering them directly or in his Almanac Weekly column.

Ultraam plays BSP

T

he Kingston-centered experimental group Ultraam has been playing out for a while now, bringing their colorful, abrasive and often-quitegroovy squall to environmental music situations and warehouse drone marathons as well as to club settings, where they tend to be paired with kindred-but-somewhat-more-formal bands on the dark end of the psych spectrum, such as New Paltz’s It’s Not Night: It’s Space. But then I blinked, and Ultraam morphed from a curious four-piece noise accident into the current seven-piece, pharmaceutical-grade space-rock juggernaut. This is an ensemble peopled disproportionately with producer/engineer types, and thus one that sports an expansive sound palette and seven sets of ears that are attuned to the whole organic machine, not just their individual parts in it. Experimental bands like this often get their pass based on the logic that “Every scene needs one,” just for philosophical grounding and out of respect to John Cage; but Ultraam is becoming something really special, something deep and musically purposeful, right under our noses – at least for those who have a nose that way. But a nose which way? The words “free,” “experimental,” “improvisational” and “noise” keep close company. They draw a broad spot on a map and highlight a kind of secret, magical tradition of 20/21st-century music that loosely parallels laboratory and field developments in the realm of psychoactive agents; but they leave a lot of questions unanswered too. First is the defining issue of sound sources. Is the soundset that of the tunedin, space-bound rock band at the turn of the ‘70s (Floyd in the Coliseum); or is it the traditional voices of the jazz band turning in violence on the traditional structures of jazz; or could it be the oscillator banks of the Columbia University physicists and white-coats of the 1950s who had no idea what they were getting the culture into? Or laptops? Culture-collage tape-splicers? Styluses hand-raked across vinyl, heaven forbid (once of that was enough for me)? Ultraam’s soundset is a patchwork of the above, but with a decided emphasis on the early-‘70s space rock kit: guitars, bass(es) and drums augmented with analog synths, manual studio manipulatives and stomboxes like cockroaches in a Lower East Side tenement, pre-‘90s. Second is the issue of dialect, for “free” has several, as contradictory as that sounds. There are in fact a number of conventionalized ways of playing free, and many of them come from jazz, which has produced more than its fair share of the most culturally active and disruptive noise jams. Jazz, even at its arrhythmic freest, never completely forsakes the dominance of phrase, of line. Thus we associate free jazz with such terms as squawk and skronk. “Free” in jazz tends to describe dialogues of liberated, animalistic voices in interactive and empathic colloquy. “Free” in rock has a very different set of associations that have to do the democratic leveling of the field, the removal of hierarchy and privileged voices, smashing all bars to entry and letting non-players play in that distinctly Enoesque way that non-players tend to play. Line, phrase and indeed individual identity can all but disappear, subordinated to the textures of naïve ensemble moments and grooves. Ultraam – well these guys are players, not naïfs, make no mistake about that; but the aesthetic of this band is conspicuously jazz-free and cleansed of recognizable

If ever I were to recommend an experimental, improvisational free noise band to people who run screaming at the idea of it, Ultraam might be the one.

expressive gesture. In fact, one of the jarring things about Ultraam’s basic sound is that it is improvisational and it has horns, but it is pointedly, hermetically not jazz. Ultraam believes in rhythm, supple, unconventional grooves that run from the sedate and glacial (“A Better Way to Build Cattle”) to the borderline-funky (“Aztec Death March”). Groove is an ensemble thing here: layered constructions with lots of organic counterpoint and elliptical shift and flux. Ultraam can be placid and ambient, but the euphony never goes unneedled by dissonance for long. On the other hand, the cacophony, when it strikes, never wants for color, space and rich sonority. Imagine Soft Machine without the inane blues organ solos – or the songs per se. Imagine the elegant pattern study of post-rock pioneers Tortoise undercut with the primitive, provocative sneer of Throbbing Gristle. Imagine Pink Floyd fully sheared of its pop coat. Imagine Can and the Krautrock template, but not quite. Finally, Ultraam does believe in form-over-formlessness. They achieve it in two independent ways. One is the organic way: improvising until form occurs and is recognized, and playing so very often and with such commitment to these peculiar ensemble values that they get better and better at dialing-in structure and arc spontaneously. The other approach to form is via editing: the razor blade and all its digital metaphors. Ultraam, as we mentioned before, is a band of producers – Matthew Cullen, D. James Goodwin, Eli Walker – as well as some storied veterans of space-rock studionanigans in Mercury Rev’s Sean “Grasshopper” Mackowiak and Jeff Mercel, along with founding members drummer Chris Turco and multiinstrumentalist Mark Ferraro. Their work is only half-done when the tape stops rolling. They have evolved into expert, empathic ensemble improvisors. The magic of editing, of after-the-fact composition, just puts this stuff over the top. If ever I were to recommend an experimental, improvisational free noise band to people who run screaming at the idea of it, Ultraam might be the one. This is serious-but-accessibleand-enjoyable music that has arrived at this elegant point because they stuck to their guns and believed in their process. Ultraam performs as part BSP’s Free Thursday series on Thursday, August 20 at 8:30 p.m. Also on the bill is Br’er. Ultraam has three records in the can, and is currently considering different ways of letting them out of the can.

Falls in Saugerties by Kay Kenny

Lucky 13 Saugerties Artists’ Studio Tour returns this weekend

O

ne day, Barbara Bravo welcomed a stranger into her ceramics studio on Old Route 32 in Saugerties. Like anyone expecting guests, Bravo had tidied the place up a bit. The visitor was disappointed. “He wanted to see how the studio looked every day. He wanted to see the mess, crumbs lying on the floor,� Bravo recalled with a laugh. Everyone, it seems, has an idea of what an artist’s studio should look like. But for anyone who wants to hold their projections up to the light of reality, to discover if an oil painter’s walls are as paint-spattered as his canvases, to see if the worker in wood’s floor is covered in shavings, there’s the 13th annual Saugerties Artists’ Studio Tour: 40 places where expectation meets reality and both artist and artwork can come into new focus for the curious or the devotee. It’s a self-guided tour: You chose your route and the number of studios that you wish to visit, with the help of a map. The map allows you access to the studios of 40

artists, ten of whom are new to this year’s tour. As in the past, artists who work in every medium – be it photography or printmaking, wearable art or digital manipulation – are part of this year’s mix, Bravo said. Everything from the traditional to the borders of the cuttingedge will be on display – along, of course, with their creators. This is where the artists’ tour differs from the usual, more typical museum experience: It offers art-lovers a chance to talk with the artists whose works will be on display, or whose work may still be on the drawing board or coming together on a canvas, maybe emerging from stone. “It’s really all about education,� Bravo said. “It allows people to appreciate and understand art. You get to see what it’s like to be an artist. Since many will have works-in-progress, you get to see how a particular idea is taking shape, and you get to talk about it if you wish.� Polly M.

Up against the wall Woodstock’s Kleinert hosts talk on Mexican muralist David Siqueiros

T

hough he may be the one whom most people remember, Diego Rivera was not the only illustrious member of the Mexican Mural Movement of the 1920s. José Clemente Orozco was another of the founding triad. According to Mamie Spiegel, a Woodstock-based artist who winters in San Miguel de Allende in Mexico, the lesser-known David Siqueiros was “the youngest, the most politically zealous and undoubtedly the most radical of the three painters,” having become soldier in the Mexican Revolution at the age of 16. Living for a time in the US in the 1930s (before being deported as a Communist), Siqueiros became a mentor to later Woodstock resident Philip Guston and set up the Experimental Workshop on 14th Street in New York City where Jackson Pollock would first cultivate his paint-pouring technique. This Friday, August 14 at 6 p.m., Spiegel will give a lecture and slide presentation on the muralist at the Kleinert/James Center for the Arts, titled “David (Siqueiros) and Goliath” in reference to Siqueiros’ lifelong battle against the forces of injustice. The talk is free to the public. The Kleinert is located at 36 Tinker Street in Woodstock. – Frances Marion Platt

tours – in part because she has been able to sell her works, but also because of the serendipitous nature of what can happen. Law explained that she hails from the tiny hamlet of Poland, Ohio, “a place that’s great to be from.” Last year, a woman walked into her studio on a hunch that paid off. The woman was living in Hastings-on-Hudson at the time and thought that she recognized Law from a story in something that she’d read. Turned out that the woman was also an escapee from Poland: She’d graduated in Law’s older brother’s high school class. The two refugees hit off immediately. “She bought my largest piece, and we’ve stayed in contact over Facebook since then. You’ve got to love it when that happens.” Bravo said that the tour can be especially useful to young people who may be considering careers in the arts. “They can get a reality check, talk to artists who have been able to make a living at their art, as well as those who still work day jobs.” All it takes for an artist to participate in the tour, she said, are talent, a fertile mind, enthusiasm and commitment to art. All it takes to be a guest on the tour is a willingness to explore new possibilities, test old assumptions and spend a pleasant time in the village or the countryside discovering what those fertile minds are up to these days. The Saugerties Artists’ Studio Tour takes place on August 15 and 16. You can preview examples of the art at www. saugertiesarttour.com, then pick up a map of the tour’s various sites. For a live preview, a group show will be held at

Lace Mill artist housing in Kingston hosts Block Party this Friday

“Come see where artists live” is an increasingly heard refrain throughout the Hudson Valley as artist studio tours proliferate in places like Saugerties, Shandaken, Phoenicia and Woodstock. Now Kingston artists are adding to the mix at the new Lace Mill apartment complex in Midtown, where they will open their doors at 165 Cornell Street for the Lace Mill Block Party on Friday, Aug. 14 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. The event is sponsored by the Rural Ulster Preservation Company (RUPCO), the affordable housing provider that built the new complex that gives preference to rental applications from artists. RUPCO is very excited about its new project, touting the high ceilings, natural light and energy-efficient lighting fixtures in

the apartments along with the “Innovator Lounge” on-site and the promise of regularly scheduled events to connect artists with the greater community. The block party includes a 1 p.m. ribbon-cutting for the 55-unit complex at the corner of South Manor Avenue. As with all block parties, what actually ends up happening will depend on who shows up to party, but attendees can anticipate a “meet-your-neighbor ball pit” along with Open House tours, food trucks, art exhibits, games, a silent auction, live music and an art installation by students from the J. Watson Bailey Middle School. Their work, titled “Lace Curtain,” is produced through the cyanotype photographic process that creates a white image on a blue background. Based on historic photographs, the subject matter pays homage to the history of the Lace Mill apartment buildings, which once housed a thriving lace curtain factory. The United States Lace Curtain Mills, completed in 1903, were the largest

producer of Nottingham lace in the country from 1916 until they closed their doors in 1951. The company chose Kingston for its industrial endeavors because of the presence of the railroad nearby and its ability to transport merchandise down to New York City. It was also a time when child labor laws were being passed and the introduction of trade unions motivated many of the textile producers to look for less-regulated pastures. The brick and bluestone used to construct the mill came from local brickyards and quarries. By the mid-’40s the United States Lace Curtain Mills became a subsidiary of the Scranton Lace Company in Pennsylvania, where they moved all operations in 1951, closing down production in Kingston. The buildings were used as warehouses for some time and were then abandoned and boarded up in 1986. The inspiration to renovate the buildings and create artist housing there was ignited after a 2007 issue of BusinessWeek magazine named Kingston one of the ten best places for artists to live because of its artistic resources, relatively low living costs and a young, diverse population. And if Kingston is good for artists, reasoned city planners, artists are good for Kingston in that they stimulate the local economy. The presence of a quantity of artists is generally seen as an early sign of neighborhood gentrification, and because of their creative talents, artists can fix up the communities in which they live and businesses can attract employees who want to be able to attend cultural events regularly. The Lace Mill Block Party is free to attend, but organizers are requesting an RSVP at www.rupco.org. The City of Kingston will provide a trolley from the Cornell Street municipal parking lot to the apartment complex. There is singleside parking only on Cornell and O’Neill streets between South Manor and Bruehn Streets. – Sharyn Flanagan Lace Mill Block Party, Friday, Aug. 14, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., free, 165 Cornell Street, Kingston; (845) 331-2140, www.rupco. org.

Relish these relics

Reserve tickets now for the all-star AlfScan concert to raise funds to digitize Evers Archive

I

n December 2004, just weeks shy of his 100th birthday, Woodstock lost one of the true “living treasures” of the Hudson Valley and the Catskills: prolific scholar/ historian/author Alf Evers. But in addition to his great, immersive, lavishly illustrated, coffee-table-worthy history tomes, Evers left behind a voluminous archive of research materials: more than 12,000 objects of great potential usefulness for those interested in the history of Woodstock, the Byrdcliffe Art Colony, the American Arts and Crafts Movement

Evers’ collection of historic photographs needs to be scanned and digitized before it inexorably fades with time. and many other Catskills-related topics. Those documents are now in the possession of the Woodstock Byrdcliffe Guild, which makes the Alf Evers Archive available to researchers at its headquarters at 34 Tinker Street. And Evers’ large collection of books on regional and national history is now available as a browsing library in the Loom Room of White Pines at Byrdcliffe itself. Archivist Eila Kokkinen has been working on organizing the materials since 2006, but Evers’ collection of historic photographs needs to be scanned and digitized – as soon as possible – before it inexorably fades with time.

Treasures of a lifetime Antiques collection of Reverend David Bronson, a protégé of the late Fred J. Johnston, to be auctioned in Stone Ridge on August 22 Antiques-hunting is a favorite sport among visitors to the mid-Hudson Valley, and devotees of the chase have an enticing opportunity coming up on Saturday, August 22 in Stone Ridge. At a restored farmhouse at 414 Cottekill Road, a single-owner auction will be conducted by Schwenke Auctioneers of the lifetime collection of Reverend David L. Bronson, assisting priest at Christ the King Episcopal Church in Stone Ridge and an avid antiques buff. Born in Jackson, Michigan, Bronson was mentored in the decorative arts from the age of 12 by a neighbor who was an antiques dealer and collector. He studied design in the University of Michigan’s Department of Architecture, but then went on to pursue a degree at Yale Divinity School. On assignment to a parish in Surrey, England, he expanded his knowledge of antique furnishings by attending local country auctions by bicycle. Upon his return to the US more than five decades ago, the focus of Reverend Bronson’s hobby shifted to early American antiques and architecture. He moved to Kingston and became a protégé of the area’s most renowned expert on antiques, the decorative arts and interior design, the late Fred J. Johnston, and went on to conduct guided tours through the Fred J. Johnston Museum in Kingston for many years. In the 1980s Bronson bought his home in Stone Ridge and proceeded to furnish it with his extensive collection, now being put up for sale. Some of that collecting took place on jaunts overseas, including a trip to India and Nepal. A pair of framed Tibetan Buddhist Thangkas that Bronson purchased in Kathmandu, being auctioned separately, are being touted as among the highlights of the 350+-lot sale. Also up for purchase are approximately 100 individual lots of Chinese and Japanese

porcelain, Asian furniture and Japanese woodblock prints. Bronson’s collection includes numerous pieces of American formal and country furniture, as well as American clocks, English furniture, Oriental carpets, paintings, sterling silver, stoneware, needlework and some interesting smaller items, such as a papier-mâché and mother-of-pearl-inlaid spectacles case that once belonged to Joseph Smith, a Civil War general from Kingston. The auction begins on-site at 11 a.m. on Saturday, August 22, with previews beginning at 8 a.m. “Good old-fashioned country food” will be served before and during the auction by the Ladies’ Auxiliary of Christ the King Episcopal Church. More information regarding the sale is available on the Schwenke Auctioneers website at www.woodburyauction.com. To register or arrange for absentee bidding, call Woodbury Auction at (203) 266-0323 or download the forms from the website. – Frances Marion Platt David L.

Quilts by Sally Abrams

ART

The fabric of community Catskill Mountain Quilters honor Sally Abrams with exhibition at Erpf Gallery in Arkville

S

ally Abrams runs a cattle farm in Livingston Manor, but she’s more renowned for the quilts that she has been making for nearly three decades now. She started out doing traditional Americana-style patterns, but has since turned her fabric piecework creations into high art. Abrams does pictorial quilts, including landscapes, and has made a personal specialty of designs that might be categorized as Op Art. By varying the dimensions of the tiny pieces from the usual even-sided squares and hexagons, she creates nearly three-dimensional patterns that appear to the eye to ripple and pop instead of lying flat. Past president of the Calico Geese Quilters’ Guild, Abrams curated a “Back to Nature” show at Morgan Outdoors in Livingston Manor and developed and produced an outdoor quilt show at the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts’ Harvest Festival. She has demonstrated her community-mindedness by donating her work to fundraising efforts for not-for-profit organizations including Sullivan County Habitat for Humanity, Cornell Cooperative Extension of Sullivan County, veterans’ groups and 4-H Clubs. Now Abrams has been inducted into the Catskill Mountain Quilters’ Hall of Fame, entitling her to a one-woman exhibition at the Erpf Gallery at the Catskill Center in Arkville. Each year the organization spotlights a particular Catskills-region quilter who has made significant contributions to the preservation and enhancement of this traditional American artform. “Traditions with a Twist: Quilts by Sally Abrams” opened in July, but you still have a chance to catch these knockout works: The show will be up until August 21. The Catskill Center is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and by appointment on weekends.

Kingston Film Festival screens Joe’s War this Friday at BSP As an acronym, “PTSD” is set to become a catchall meme that explains anyone’s aberrant, antisocial behavior. The American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), however, recognizes post-traumatic stress disorder as serious business, defined by a person having “a history

of exposure to a traumatic event that meets specific stipulations and symptoms from each of four symptom clusters: intrusion, avoidance, negative alterations in cognitions and mood and alterations in arousal and reactivity.” By now we know that military personnel returning from a war zone have been exposed to extreme aspects of “intrusion” (armed offense and/or defense, either experiencing it or witnessing it), “avoidance and negative alterations in cognitions and mood” (desensitization of one’s own emotions) and “alterations in arousal and reactivity” (flashback responses). What we don’t know for sure is how to support combat veterans

adequately to recognize symptoms and get help to address the life-disturbing syndrome. Too many veterans lose their way, become self-destructive or act out against others. A special screening of Joe’s War, written by John De Meo and director Phil Falcone, will be co-presented by Woodstock Harley Davidson on Friday, August 14 at Kingston’s own annual Film Festival. The film depicts a young man – a star hockey player from a solid home – who leaves his promising future and a serious romantic relationship to join the Marines. After two tours of duty, he returns to everyday life, but finds it exceedingly difficult to resume relationships.

19 The story follows a familiar theme involving abrupt outbursts, attempts at getting help, eventual treatment through the local chapter of the Veterans’ Administration. It also suggests an underlying possibility that many combat soldiers involved in the violence and inhumanity of war, from our nation’s Revolutionary conflict through the Civil War and all military engagements since, may have endured some level of undiagnosed PTSD. The National Institute for Mental Health (NIMH) reports “rapid progress in research on the mental and biological foundations of PTSD” in the last decade, and cites developments in diagnosis and treatment for sufferers. Still, we search for the most effective approach to diagnosis and recovery for the men and women coming home from war. The NIMH report includes commentary on prevention based on individual biochemical tendencies. It may turn out that not everyone is genetically programmed to be a warrior. Meanwhile, the biggest current challenge facing veterans and society at large may simply be full acknowledgment of military conflict-induced PTSD. We can’t fix it if we don’t admit that it’s broken. Joe’s War is the tale of one man’s faltering stab at resolution. The film was conceived by De Meo to highlight how PTSD affects veterans. Falcone says that he was actually working on a World War II script when De Meo asked him to take a look at this story of a young guy who seemingly had it all, but came home from his service and experienced troubles. “He asked for my help for what was supposed to be a tenminute short, but I just kept adding to it. It started taking on a life of its own as I was writing. I put my own script on the side and went into it, backed the show and directed it. Everyone in the film – Michael Markiewicz, who plays Joe Caruso, Ed Asner and Armand Assante – everyone got swept up in it, feeding off the passion. It became more than just a movie at that point, and everyone put their all into it. Doing the research, you realize what these guys go through. You can’t help but feel for them. I started meeting other veterans and doing other things with veteran groups, such as an awareness tape for YouTube about the fact that 22 combat veterans a day commit suicide. It’s a message that just has to get out there.” Bill Nugent, friend of Falcone and owner of the Woodstock Harley Davidson dealership, is active in supporting the 30,000 local veterans in many ways. “It’s important to me that veterans get the care they need after serving their country,” he says. “I reached out to Phil and invited him to meet with Keith Bennett, the deputy director of the Ulster County Veterans’ Services Agency, and to see the new Patriots’ House, a homeless veterans’ transitional housing facility in Kingston.” Falcone said that ten percent of any profits made by the film have been dedicated to supporting such efforts. The official trailer can be seen at www.youtube.com/ watch?v=fM-nHDtO_zM. Local veteran motorcyclists are invited to attend a barbecue dinner from 4 to 5:30 p.m. at Woodstock Harley-Davidson, located at 949 Route 28 outside of Kingston. A group ride will then leave the dealership – tentatively to pass by the new Ulster County Memorial Roll of Honor installation, located directly in front of the Ulster County Office Building on Fair Street – to arrive at BackStage Productions by 6 p.m. Motorcycle parking will be reserved on Wall Street. BSP and Woodstock Harley Davidson will donate $2 from each ticket sold to the Ulster County Veterans’ Emergency Fund. – Ann Hutton Kingston Film Festival screening: Joe’s War, Friday, August 14, 6:30 p.m., $10, BSP, 323 Wall Street, Kingston; (845) 338-2800, (914) 417-9114, www. kingstonfilmfestival.org, www.eventbrite. com/e/kingston-film-festival-presentsjoes-war-tickets-17621641805.

form, provoking outrage from the individuals and institutions in his cinematic crosshairs while stirring up spirited public discussion about oft-buried issues. Gibney does not pull his punches; perhaps that’s why Esquire in 2010 called him “perhaps the most important documentarian of our time.” The release of a new Alex Gibney work is a buzzworthy event, so it’s quite a coup for the Woodstock Film Festival to be getting the chance for a special preview screening of his latest opus this Friday night at Upstate Films Woodstock, a month ahead of the film’s general theatrical release. The next victim of Gibney’s unflinching scrutiny is a modern icon once deemed untouchable and still revered – indeed, practically deified – by users of Apple products worldwide: the late MacIntosh inventor and IT empire-builder Steve Jobs himself. “Steve Jobs: The Man in the Machine is no corporate-sanctioned hagiography and was made without Apple’s cooperation or that of Jobs’s immediate family,” note Magnolia Pictures’ press materials accompanying the new film’s release. “Gibney’s film is a laser-sharp and balanced assessment of the technology mogul, who was part iconoclast, part savvy corporate chieftain, part genius and part tyrant. Even if Apple’s products carried a small ‘i,’ the ego behind them was writ large.” Along with an examination of the lasting legacy of the Jobs regime on the culture of Silicon Valley, the film is said to focus attention on the many contributions to Apple of Jobs’s talented colleagues, long eclipsed by the larger-than-life personal mythmaking that was an integral part of his marketing brilliance. It’s a piece of the picture that needs to fall into place, even for committed Mac acolytes.

EVENT

All ears Hurley Corn Festival this Saturday

T

he level stretch of land called the Hurley Flats that runs between Tongore Road at one end and the junction of Routes 209 and 28 at the other has been under cultivation for hundreds of years. So it’s no wonder that the newest exhibit housed in the Hurley Heritage Museum at 52 Main Street in the village of Hurley has titled its newest exhibit “Hurley Harvest: By Hand and by Horse.” The exhibit is changed every two years, and this one is ready to welcome visitors to the 35th annual Corn Festival this Saturday, August 15. Tracing agriculture in the region from the farming practices of the indigenous Lenape tribe up to the recent purchase of Gill Farm by the nonprofit Hudson Valley Farm The Hurley Flats Hub, it displays photos and artwork, farm tools and implements and other antiques and memorabilia, including a 19th-century rooster weathervane that looks quite contemporary in style. All the pieces are artfully arranged to give visitors a timeline sort of sense of history. Some of the artifacts have been borrowed from the Ulster County Historical Society and from Locust Lawn in Gardiner. “This is the first time we’ve filled out the display with borrowed pieces,” says Gail Whistance, Heritage Society secretary. “And we also had two interns from SUNYNew Paltz to help us set up the exhibit. They took information that I had collected and, with help from Ward Mintz of Friends of Historic Kingston, learned how to write the blurbs for the exhibit. It was a good experience for them.” Students Kyle Moore and Thomas Einhorn also worked with Bruce Whistance, Heritage Society trustee, on an eight-minute video highlighting various farms and practices, such as the use of Dutch siths and mathooks to harvest wheat: a crop that dominated the Flats from 1600 to 1840. Now it’s all about corn, and has been since the 1940s when the thriving dairy industry faded – that is, it has been all about corn, until the Farm Hub began its farmer training and agricultural research into organic methods. Much of the farmland is now planted in cover crops and various other grains. The ecological restoration of the land is underway, but there’s still plenty of sweet corn grown to keep the locals in ears. And this year’s celebration will have its typical variety of corn products to enjoy: corn chowder, corn-on-the-cob and corn salad, along with pork sliders and desserts, as usual. The feast takes place in the cafeteria of the Hurley Reformed Church, where the rest of the indoor festivities also happen. Craft and antique vendors will be set up for shoppers, and an old fashion bake sale will offer goodies to take home. A raffle of a quilt made by Dolly Woodin of New Paltz (tickets cost $1 each, six for $5), kids’ activities and the encampment of the Third Regiment of the Ulster County Militia

will keep everyone busy. Meanwhile, music will be provided by Rick Soshensky, contemporary folk, and the Corntet, a bluegrass ensemble including Michael Hunold on guitar and vocals, Matt Bowe on mandolin, Evan Shultis on fiddle and Jesse Murphy on bass. Now about the roosters: Folklore has it that the rooster was once a Christian symbol used to adorn church steeples. When a small Dutch Reformed Church was built in Hurley in 1801, it was topped with a weathervane closely resembling the ones produced for this year’s Corn Festival (you can compare them to the drawn silhouette of the original church on the Society’s website). Twenty-two roosters – truly “something to crow about” – have been uniquely painted and done up by local artists: Judy Abbott, Marianna Crans, Mary Elwyn, Barbara Graff, Howard “Hoppy” Hopkins, Chuck Howland, Bob Jennings, Sue Keating, Steve Ladin, Cindy Gill Lapp, Mary Alice Lindquist, Michelle Moore, Tina Oppenheimer, Joe Petrollese, Ron Rifenburg, Carol Schultz, Karen Sheeley, Lou Sorrin, Cindy Sumerano, Laura Trayser-Healy, Becky Veith and Josh Vogt. They’ll be exhibited in the church this Saturday, then in village windows until the great Hurley Rooster Auction in late September, when a serious lecture on the Hurley Rooster will take place. A photo array and self-guided tour of the Hurley Roosters are also laid out on the website. Check them out. And preview the short film Hurley Harvest here: www. hurleyheritagesociety.org/farm-exhibit.html.

Why is the hot water faucet on the left? In olden days, most sinks had a single pump for cold water on the right – to accommodate the right handed majority. When dual-temperature faucets appeared, the cold water stayed on the right while hot water occupied the left. The Uniform Plumbing Code now requires that “faucets shall be connected to the water distribution system so that hot water corresponds to the left side of the fittings.� Never knew that did you? It reminds me of the story of the man who invented the left handed hammer. It was a total failure. There were no left handed nails. WE believe in the total equality of lefties, so call us and well find you a Wi nM or ris home! on

FARMHOUSE FEATURING 3 ANTIQUE BARNS This well-loved 1853 farmhouse with 4 bedrooms, 2 baths on the road between Woodstock and Saugerties is a kind of landmark over the years for drivers between the two towns. Beautifully sited with its three barns and the mountains cradling it in the background, this 102-acre parcel lends itself to a variety of uses beyond simply owning what could become one of the Woodstock area’s most desirable estates, particularly farming as the land is arable, bordered by the Plattekill Creek, and stretches in a ďŹ ne at line to the surrounding woods. The solid farmhouse features some lovely old detail and the antique barns could easily be transformed into other structures such as guest houses or studios. But it is the gorgeous land that beckons ďŹ rst and foremost. ............................................................$1,050,000 Call Thomas B. Roberts Licensed R.E.

Situations Wanted

FOSTER HOMES NEEDED FOR KITTENS AND PREGNANT CATS.The WOODSTOCK FERAL CAT PROJECT is a local not for profit organization committed to reducing future feral cat populations through spay/neuter. We often find orphaned kittens who need a loving home until they are old enough to be adopted. Some orphaned kittens are so young that they require bottle feeding. We affectionately call them “bottle babies”. We recently placed three pregnant cats in three wonderful homes. The cats gave birth and when the kittens are weaned (no longer nursing), we will look to find loving homes for the kittens and their mothers. If you are interested in

fostering or would like to learn more about fostering, please call (917) 282-2018 or email DRJLPK@AOL.COM. ESTATE/GARDEN MGMT.
