Leaving the house can be a wild ride...

1. Doobie Brothers headline Dutchess County Fair in Rhinebeck The first time that the Dutchess County Fair came to town, the Civil War was still nearly two decades away.

Florida would not become our 27th state for another three years, and our state governor was in the Whig Party.

It took place on October 5 and 6, 1842.

But if those fairgoers back then were magically transported to 2015, as shocked as they’d be by our everyday lives, they’d find the Dutchess County Fair of today remarkably similar to the one that they knew. The first fair, created by the Dutchess County Agricultural Society and held at a hotel in Washington Hollow, featured livestock kept in pens behind the hotel, displays of farming tools and competitions for best fruit and vegetables, best seed samples of crops and best

homespun wool and flannel cloth.

Wartime or financial problems canceled a few of the events over the years, but for the most part the fair has prevailed, and the 170th annual Dutchess County Fair will be held from Tuesday, August 25 through Sunday, August 30 from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. at the Dutchess County Fairgrounds in Rhinebeck. General admission costs $15 for adults, $10 for seniors and those in the military and is free for kids under age 12.

Adults can get in for $7 after 5 p.m. on opening day, Tuesday, August 25, and on Thursday, August 27.

More than 300,000 visitors are expected to converge on the Fairgrounds to enjoy the slice of Americana that is a county fair. For those who want to partake of a particular event, a full schedule is posted online at www.dutchessfair. com. But perhaps the best way to see the fair is simply to arrive expecting to be entertained by the unexpected. No doubt there is something for everyone, from the return of the racing pigs to the famous 4-H club milkshakes to a flower

and garden show, an antique tractor pull, livestock competitions and plenty of fair food, midway fun and live entertainment.

Country music will lead the way when it comes to onstage entertainment, with live performances by A Thousand Horses and Dan & Shay on Tuesday, August 25 and singer/songwriter Cole Swindell on Thursday, August 27. Fans of the original Doobie Brothers will welcome co-founders of the group, Tom Johnston and Patrick Simmons, along with longtime Doobie Brother John McFee and a lineup of five additional musicians who make up the touring lineup these days on Wednesday, August 26. Grammy nominees the Spin Doctors perform on Friday, and basketball slam-dunk specialists Aerodunk will entertain the crowd with high-flying moves on Saturday. Additional charges apply for concert tickets.

Attractions and free shows at the fair include a petting zoo, dock-diving dogs, a Mad Science show, cooking demonstrations, woodcarving and rughooking demos, quilting, Oscar the Roving

Robot and the lederhosen-wearing, unicycle-riding Hilby the Skinny German Juggler, whose act includes midair maneuvering while maintaining a fastpaced comic banter with his audience.

And while the enjoyment of county fair entertainment can feel like a guilty pleasure on par with downing corndogs and deep-fried pickles at the fair (oh, yeah!), never underestimate the possibilities of populist pursuits. Back in 1964, a talent contest was initiated at the Dutchess County Fair, and the first winner was singer/songwriter Don McLean, who later went on to fame with “American Pie” and “Vincent (Starry Starry Night).”

You just never know what will happen at the fair.

Environmental architecture lecture at Cary Institute

It wasn’t so long ago that you’d be regarded as an eccentric at best, perhaps even a public nuisance if you decided to orient the long side of your house southwards to maximize passive solar gain, rather than aligning it along the streetfront in conformity with all the rest of the neighborhood.

Happily, green building practices are becoming relatively common nowadays, as architects and contractors become more knowledgeable about the sustainable options open to them and prospective homeowners demand designs that reduce their carbon footprint along with their utility bills.

At the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies in Millbrook this Friday evening, architect Allan Shope will present a lecture on how modern innovation can inform ecologically responsible architecture.

Shope will discuss his experiences creating enduring, locally sourced, energy-neutral homes that are healthy for residents and the environment and educate attendees about the long and short-term costs of decisions that we make relating to our homes, from building materials to energy systems. “The Environmental Impacts of Architecture� begins at 7 p.m. on Friday, August 21 in the Cary Institute’s auditorium, located at 2801 Sharon Turnpike (Route 44) in Millbrook.

Admission is free, and seating is firstcome, first-served. For more information, call (845) 677-7600, extension 121, or e-mail freeman@caryinsitute.org. – Frances Marion Platt

2. Summer Hoot returns to Ashokan Center this weekend When folk music merged with the social movements of the 1960s, a new generation of music-lovers came to know the down-to-Earth icons of the genre, Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger, who inspired the likes of Joan Baez and Bob Dylan and a slew of others to take up their instruments along with their worthy causes. Hootenannies became regular features at clubs and coffeehouses, with open-mic nights and hats being passed to collect money for rent or for the cause, whatever it was at the moment. It’s said that Seeger co-opted the term from earlier progressive political organizations, but “hootenanny� is actually an Appalachian colloquialism, an

old country Scottish word that means “celebration� or “party.�

No problem melding entertainment with worthy causes – especially when the entertainment is both homegrown and world-class. Two years ago, folk-roots musicians Mike + Ruthy (Merenda and Ungar) launched an indoor festival to build community and raise awareness about the Ashokan Center, the 374acre nature campus of Catskill woods and wetlands in Olivebridge. Repeating semiannually, they’ve successfully created a new tradition that fits in with the old: that of gathering to play and listen to music, to dance and have fun, to learn and share support.

Engaging musicians who honor the folk tradition and innovate to reflect the tastes and talents of younger listeners as well, Merenda and Ungar have realized their dream. Attendance has grown from the 400 folks who showed up at that first Hoot – the term was made contemporary for the new offspring of folk, folk/rock and acoustic singer/songwriter royalty – to the record-breaking crowds who came last year and earlier last winter.

This Summer Hoot’s highlights include singer/songwriter Amy Helm and the Handsome Strangers, songstress Erin McKeown, children’s music favorites Elizabeth Mitchell & You Are My Flower, revered bluegrass artists Tony Trischka and

3

Michael Daves, fiddle masters Jay Ungar and Molly Mason, acclaimed folksinger and songwriter Loudon Wainwright III and ragtime performers the Wiyos.

Other equally awesome performers in the lineup include Astrograss, Baby Gramps, the Big Takeover, Bobby Bird, Zach Djanikian, Dylan Foley, Matt Heckler, the Mike + Ruthy Band, Moonshine Holler, Rik Palieri, Professor Louie & the Crowmatix, Rafe & Clelia Stafanini, Serious Juggling and Comedy, Story Laurie & Ira MacIntosh, Suitcase Junket, the Vanaver Caravan, the White Light Gong Ensemble and the Zucchini Brothers – all slated to perform on the two side-by-side, volunteer-built stages.

(Check the website for the full schedule.)

Families will find lots to do as well, such as morning gong baths with Love Waves (Neslihan Sukh Inder Lord and Theresa Widmann), a rowdy rendition of Peter and the Wolf, arts and crafts, hiking, blacksmithing, a kids’ parade, intimate concerts and songwriting workshops with many of the above performers, along with late-night revelry that includes jam sessions, singalongs, a square dance, as well as a robust array of local food trucks and beer vendors.

Though the Winter and Summer Hoots serve as fundraisers for the nonprofit Ashokan Foundation to make it possible for thousands of the region’s children to

participate in the Center’s environmental learning program, the Hoot organizers are always working to keep costs down so that a diverse crowd of locals and visitors is able to get a tuneful taste of the Catskills.

One way to achieve that goal is to use volunteers to work two four-hour shifts on jobs such as parking, gate, bartending, EMT or kitchen detail. Volunteers receive a weekend pass, free camping or bunkbed and a Hoot tee-shirt in exchange for their time. See HelpTheHerd and contact hootvolunteers@gmail.com to sign on.

Advance tickets offering guaranteed parking and admission can be purchased online or at the Woodstock Music Shop.

Camping passes are available for both “quiet� and “music-all-night� areas. No RV hookups are available, and please: no private fires or dogs. Hostel-style lodgers get a bunk with mattress and pillow, so bring your own toiletries, towel, pillowcase and bedding or sleeping bag.

Kids under age 12 always get in free, and ticket prices are a matter of “pay what you can� donations. – Ann Hutton Summer Hoot, Friday-Sunday, August 21-23, $30-$40 adult/day, $75/weekend, $25-$50/day camping/bunk, Ashokan Center, 477 Beaverkill Road, Olivebridge; (914) 466-8334, hoot@ashokancenter. org, www.homeofthehoot.com.

Why newspapers?

Print is dead, right? Wrong. Studies show readers retain more of what they read in print because it’s easier to focus. Fewer distractions. The web is great for breaking news bytes, but our in-depth stories are best consumed in print. We only write about Saugerties, so every issue is bound to contain something you didn’t know about your community. You lose that sense of discovery on the web, where you’re less likely to happen on something you weren’t looking for. And while our website is too primitive for such things, many sites collect browsing data for advertising. Our ads would never be so presumptious. We print on recycled paper when possible, so it’s sustainable—and accessible to those without the Internet or iPads. ULSTER PUBLISHING

The Oral History Summer School in Hudson, founded in 2012 by oral historian/writer Suzanne Snider, is trying out a novel vehicle for conveying the life stories and memories of local residents on Sunday, August 23.

stories about the area’s history when you sat down on it. As you stroll along the new waterfront promenade in Kingston’s Rondout District, you can link to an app on your mobile phone that will talk your through your walking tour. Outdoor three-dimensional sound sculptures have recently been featured at Manitoga in Garrison, Olana in Hudson and Unison in New Paltz. Why should our eyes be the only way in which we take in such information?

Pair that audio trend with the upsurge in interest in memoir as an artform and oral history as an important way of preserving the past, and you arrive at the quirky hybrid concept that will roll out – literally – through the streets of Hudson this Sunday, August 23. The Oral History Summer School in Hudson, founded in 2012 by oral historian/writer Suzanne Snider, is trying out a novel vehicle – again literally – for conveying the life stories and memories of local residents.

Treasures of a lifetime Antiques collection of Reverend David Bronson to be auctioned in Stone Ridge on Saturday 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

KIDS’ ACTIVITIES Dozens of ideas every week in Almanac (inside)

845-334-8200 to subscribe to the newspaper + almanac

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.

Pictured below is a postcard of the Plattekill Grange from 1906 from Shirley Anson’s personal collection. Photo above of a young Granger with his prize fair ribbon was found during the renovation of Plattekill Grange #923 and is now part of the Plattekill Historical Society’s collection.

Preserving the past Plattekill Historical Society renovating Grange No. 923

A

fter 14 years without a permanent home, the Plattekill Historical Society has moved into new digs in the old Plattekill Grange No. 923 on Route 32.

The volunteer work to renovate the circa-1903 building has been going on for more than a year and is still in progress, but enough of the renovation has been done that the first floor is ready. Monthly meetings of the organization are now held there on the third Saturday of most months, and the space provides room for exhibitions of the group’s collection of antique maps, documents and historic local photographs and postcards.

The Plattekill Historical Society is in the process of becoming a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit, and it’s even getting a new name: the Plattekill Historical Preservation Society, reflecting the organization’s mission to research, document and preserve the history of its community. The group has committed to a 99-year lease on the Grange building, located at 127 Church Street in Plattekill.

Ownership of the building will remain with the National Grange of the Order

of Patrons of Husbandry, which was founded in 1867 to encourage farmers to band together to promote their economic well-being. The fraternal organization still maintains more than 2,100 community Grange Halls in small rural communities nationwide. The Plattekill chapter was among the earliest; according to local historian Elizabeth Werlau in her book about Plattekill in Arcadia Publishing’s “Images of America� series, Plattekill’s first Grange was organized in 1876, with the most recent group formed in 1902.

Plattekill Historical Society board member Shirley Anson says that she remembers many active Granges in the area when she was growing up. “Over the years, the Grange was an extremely important part of the community.

Sometimes they would hold school functions – the Clintondale Grange held the local eighth-grade graduation ceremonies – and everyone that has dropped into the Plattekill Grange has talked about attending their dinners and dances, and even plays.�

The full stage where the plays were held still exists on the second floor of the partially renovated building. “What we’re going to do with it, we don’t know yet,� says Anson. “We haven’t begun the restoration upstairs yet. That will be a big exhibit hall, also; but we need to do fundraising now to raise money for these things. Everything has always been by volunteer work in the past, but now we have insurance and electric bills, things like that.�

After the Grange organization stopped

using the building, a church used the space for a while, as did the Girl Scouts.

These past seven or eight years it has been unused.

The Historical Society took the building over after the current “master of the Grange� in Plattekill, Marge Gardner, asked if it would be interested in leasing it. The group was not interested in selling it, says Anson. “They wanted to retain the building in case the Grange gets reactivated and they want to have meetings there. We made an agreement with them that we would provide space for them if they decide to do that.�

Once the commitment was made to move into the space, major renovations had to be done. “Last year we did a huge amount of work,� Anson says. “I think we were there every weekend, and during the week a lot. The majority of the work was done by volunteers. My husband, Robert Anson, has been in construction all his life, and he basically oversaw the work with the assistance of Ray Gilman [another local resident and member of the Historical Society]. I don’t think he and his wife, Nancy, missed a weekend working there.�

The first thing they had to do was go in and clean it all out. “The mice had taken over, and birds had gotten into there and made nests,� Shirley says. “A great deal had to be thrown out.� Not anything historic, she hastens to add. “There was

debris everywhere...we had to clean and paint it and get the windows to open. It’s taken a lot of effort. We ripped out two bathrooms and put in one large family bathroom that’s wheelchair-accessible, and took out the boiler and all the old ventwork and pipework that went to it.

We’re going to replace it with some type of electrical heat.�

The building will be open to visitors during the regular meetings and for exhibitions of historical interest, of which the group will post notice on its Facebook pages: “Plattekill Historical Society� and “PHS Plattekill Grange Restoration Project.�

The meetings often feature guest speakers, and the group hosts outside events that include cemetery tours. “We go out of our way to make sure we have really good programs,� says Anson. The annual golf tournament each summer is the group’s major fundraiser, and historic house tours may be added next year, she says.

More information can be obtained by visiting Shirley Anson and company at the annual Plattekill Day on Saturday, Sept. 19 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Thomas Felten Park on Route 32 in Modena, or by e-mailing plattekillhistoricalsociety@ gmail.com. – Sharyn Flanagan Â

Driving a cab in Brooklyn for a couple of decades could give a person with a verbal way of thinking plenty of familiarity with the cadences of everyday dialogue. It certainly did for High Falls resident Donald Lev, who has distilled a lifetime of careful listening into a long career as one of the finest contemporary poets in America.

Maybe, if you’re old enough to remember the ’60s, you associate Lev primarily with his brief appearance as the Poet in Robert Downey, Sr.’s weird, transgressive satire on the advertising business, Putney Swope. Or maybe you enjoyed the prosepoems that he regularly contributed to the Village Voice in the ’70s, when he was also running the Home Planet Bookshop on the Lower East Side, or listened to the program that he hosted on WNYC radio, Open Poetry.

More recently, you may know him as program director of the Outloud Literary Festival here in the Catskills. You may even follow his occasional literary tabloid Home Planet News, which Lev and his late wife, poet Enid Dame, began publishing in 1979. Or you may not yet have caught up with him at all – a tragic oversight that can easily be rectified this Saturday, August 22, when Donald Lev will be reading from his latest poetry collection, Where I Sit (Presa Press, 2015), at the Golden Notebook in Woodstock.

The live reading will begin at 3 p.m., and admission is free.

Chayefsky wrote the screenplays for Marty, The Hospital and Network and won Oscars for all of them. He is the only screenwriter to win three solo Academy Awards.

Middle of the Night, Chayefsky’s first Broadway success in 1956, is the story of an unlikely romance between a middleaged widower and a much younger woman, which stirs up a storm among a large ensemble cast of family and friends. It is wonderfully truthful, funny and moving.

THE UNIQUELY COCKBURNIAN PARADOX is that, as he dropped the veil of mysticism and moved ever more toward keenly pissed-off leftist activist rock, the Christian content in his songs grew a little more explicit, not less.

Bruce Cockburn’s biggest record in the US was 1984’s Stealing Fire, from which came two of his hits: “If I Had a Rocket Launcher” and “Lovers in a Dangerous Time.”

Canada’s Dylan Beacon’s Towne Crier hosts the great Bruce Cockburn this Saturday

M

y first Bruce Cockburn album was his tenth in ten years, 1979’s Dancing in the Dragon’s Jaws, which I bought on a tip from Guitar Player magazine. How much money did you spend on records when you were a teenager? And what other choice did you have for new music and specific hungers, beyond the frustrating flux and the shadowy market motives of radio? Every

JAZZ, BLUES AND R & B

record purchase was an independent capital risk, and that sense of studied investment made you stick with albums longer and give them multiple cracks at your affections. Thus: growers, delayed and dark-horse favorites, album tracks rising into personal hits and all those other universal listening experiences born of scarcity and lost to our current state of on-demand abundance. The music wasn’t any deeper or more sublime in design than it is now; we were just stuck in a room with it longer.

But Dancing in the Dragon’s Jaws was exactly what I was looking for at that moment and exactly as I hoped it would be: luminous, j a z z - i n fl e c t e d , progressive folk/rock with a badass, liberated fingerstyle acoustic guitarist at the center of its late ’70s fusions.

The songs were lovely, too: the lyrics a bit beyond me in their blend of poetic shimmer and worldly grit, but “relatable,” as the kids would say today – to my father’s great chagrin, were he around to hear them say it. I remember my Dad positively scowling at the “nonsense” of the Cockburn line, “Concrete vortex sucks

down the wind/It’s howling like a blinded violin,” which I had offered as a prime example of Bruce’s mystical, musical journalism. Oh, my Pops surely never intended his opinions and aesthetics to intimidate my own; but sometimes he just couldn’t stifle a spasm of contempt at the source. He was always sad about it after.

In retrospect, Bruce has thrown a lot crazy images against the wall in his 45-year career, and more than a few have stuck – on me, at least. Fortunately, I weathered my Dad’s disgust and stayed onboard with Cockburn, going back into his progressive folk catalogue of the ’70s and walking forward with him through his remarkable run of politicized rock records in the early ’80s. Soon, I would discover that Dancing in the Dragon’s Jaws was a major pivot point in the career of the man whom you can call Canada’s Dylan with a very, very straight face. (I’d prefer “Canada’s Joni,” but for the issue of Joni already being Canada’s.)

Its red herring of a single, “Wondering where the Lions Are,” was one of Cockburn’s few Stateside hits: a throwback to the quietly rollicking rag/folk of his earliest efforts. The rest of the album is a maelstrom of musical restlessness, blooming jazz ears and the dawning of

The music wasn’t any deeper or more sublime in design than it is now; we were just stuck in a room with it longer.

a political and global consciousness in Cockburn, just beginning to cut through the fog of the vaguely Christian mysticism that characterized his first decade.

The jazziness and the worldliness exploded into something very like genius on his next record, 1980’s seminal Humans: an album that manages to be acoustic New Wave, folk, jazz and surreal confessional travelogue all at once. But

and irresolute art song of David Crosby, but grounded with far more Leadbelly and Josh White. Modal raga was in the air then, but pop was quietly in Cockburn’s mix too. In some of the hushed Beatlesque moments of early Cockburn I hear nothing so much as a way, way advance warning of Elliott Smith.

Always a Christian writer, never a Christian-genre artist, Cockburn shares that commercial space with only a handful of others: U2, of course, and maybe Sufjan Stevens. The uniquely Cockburnian paradox is that, as he dropped the veil of mysticism and moved ever more toward keenly pissed-off leftist activist rock, the Christian content in his songs grew a little more explicit, not less. When he drops the rare J-bomb in the middle of his poetic catalogues of Third World oppressions and outrages, it always seems to be a doubleedged act of messaging: challenging the political conscience of fellow Christians and reminding his fellow progressives of the abiding historical efficacy of the Christian Left, saying “Deal with it.”

Humans was one of the last Cockburn records to sound like the old Bruce – one of the last records to share in the naturalistic warmth and space of 1970s high-end recording. The early ’80s were a bad, bad time for sound in general, for pretty much everyone, and you need to fight through that unmistakable period stamping to appreciate the incendiary heart of two of Cockburn’s best political rock records, 1983’s The Trouble with Normal (“The trouble with normal is it always gets worse!”) and his biggest record in the US, 1984’s Stealing Fire, from which came two of his hits: “If I Had a Rocket Launcher” and “Lovers in a Dangerous Time.”

This was back when practically everything was still trying to cop the sound of Zenyatta Mondatta and missing badly. There’s an unfortunately sterile gauziness to these records, the moneyed sound of the day as the artist angled for (and won) greater play in the US; and if there were a couple of records that I would love to hear remade to liberate their stunning revolutionary intelligence from their production, these might be them, right alongside XTC’s The Big Express.

Cockburn has stayed prolific through the ’90s and the new millennium, and his “late career” is dotted with gems, including some collaborations with T-Bone Burnett, a daring conceptual album in Life Short Call Now produced by old pal Jon

Mellon grant helps launch Bard’s Curatorial, Critical & Performance Studies Music Masters program Bard College’s already-vaunted music program received a big boost last week when the college received a $2 million grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to support the development and launch of Bard’s planned Master of Music degree program in Curatorial, Critical and Performance Studies and a resultant ensemble, the Orchestra Now. Distinctly Bardlike in its design, the program’s unique combination of performance and cultural emphasis expands the role of conservatory training to include the promotion, preservation and advancement of serious music in general.

The program provides musicians with professional-level orchestral training that is integrated into interdisciplinary

ALMANAC WEEKLY graduate study of music’s place in culture and history. The program is designed to prepare select conservatory graduates for the challenges facing the modern symphony orchestra and to produce scholars and advocates of classical and contemporary music, as well as practiced members of a top-grade orchestra.

Musicians receive three years of advanced orchestral training and take graduatelevel courses in Orchestral and Curatorial Studies, leading to a Master of Music degree.

Funding from the Mellon grant will help to support student stipends, curriculum development and salary and honoraria for visiting faculty and lecturers. For more information, visit http://bard.edu/ orchnow.

Altamura Center in Round Top presents Cimarosa’s Il matrimonio segreto Why do we continue to be enthralled by romantic complications onstage and in film? Shakespeare may have been the penultimate in laying out the landscape of he-loves-her-butshe-loves-somebody-else-who-lovesanother. He probably wasn’t the first, and he certainly wasn’t the last. In 1792, the composer Domenico Cimarosa put a libretto by Giovanni Bertati to music, based on the play The Clandestine Marriage by George Colman the Elder and David Garrick. Il matrimonio segreto (The Secret Marriage) is a comedic opera in which a wealthy citizen of Bologna has two daughters ready to be wed off and a sister who’s looking around for a likely candidate to marry, too. The sister sets her sights on her brother’s secretary, who happens to be secretly married to one of the daughters. Along comes a count to marry the other daughter, but he’s not so enthralled. He wants the younger one: the one already married to the secretary.

What ensues is, as you might guess, a lot of musical conniving and deception and attempted manipulation until…well, I won’t spoil the ending. You’ll have to sit through this one to find out. Suffice

it to say that, still regularly performed on world stages, Il matrimonio segreto is considered one of the greatest 18thcentury opera buffa apart from those by Mozart, Cimarosa’s contemporary rival.

Its premiere was the occasion of the longest encore in operatic history, so they say, when Leopold II ordered supper to be served to the company and the entire opera repeated immediately after.

Opera-lovers come from miles around to enjoy the intimate stage productions that take place at the Altamura Center for the Arts & Cultures in Greene County’s Round Top. The Center is a retreat tucked away in the foothills where novice singers learn from the masters and perform for the locals who appreciate worldclass music taking place practically in their own back yard. Founder Carmela Altamura has created a veritable breeding ground of operatic voices with her annual competitions and her training workshops.

Truly a unique setting, the Center serves Altamura’s students and the community, and it serves her greater goal: that of bringing the refined art of the voice to world stages.

Altamura and her husband, Leonard Altamura, have supported the arts through education and performance since 1970. Their umbrella organization, Inter-Cities Performing Arts, Inc., has as its purpose creating art for tomorrow. In 1988, Carmela Altamura established the Altamura/Caruso International Voice Competition, a competition for young artists on the threshold of an international career. Many winners have gone on to perform lead roles in the world’s major opera houses, such as La Scala and the Metropolitan Opera.

This fall, in fact, she is taking a group of six competition winners and guest artists on a European tour for peace. Visiting Italy and Poland, the group will do five performances, the last of which will take place in Krakow at the Moorish Temple to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. “Our message is ‘Reverence for Life’ on our planet,” she says, emphasizing how the arts can be “a force for good and transformation, beauty and brotherhood.”

When asked about choosing to stage Il matrimonio segreto at the Center’s Summer Institute at Round Top, Altamura explains “This lyric opera is a tool, a marvelous tool to help singers with their technique. That’s why I chose

Maestro Francesco Santelli, a native of Rome, Italy, will conduct the opera at Round Top this weekend.

Under Maestro Santelli’s baton and the stage direction of Stefano Koroneos, a cast of young singers will bring Il matrimonio segreto to life, including soprano Anne Tormela, playing Carolina, Geronimo’s daughter; soprano Danielle Buonaiuto playing Elisetta, her older sister (with Stacey Canterbury; Thor Arbjornsson, tenor, playing Paolino, Geronimo’s young clerk who is secretly married to Carolina; the father Geronimo, played by Daniel Klein, bass; mezzo-soprano Jody Karem as Fidalma, his sister; and baritone Stefanos Koroneos as Count Robinson.

Altamura continues to attract an impressive lineup of professionals and up-and-coming artists to Round Top. “It’s a calling I have,” she says, adding that performances at the Center include dinner. “I do the cooking myself, and the

recipes are of my own invention. And love gives you the energy to do it.”

Donations of any amount to the Altamura Center are greatly appreciated; tickets for the opera and dinner are taxdeductible.

Maverick Concerts continues its centennial season of Music in the Woods on Saturday, August 22 at 6 p.m. with a concert for chamber orchestra led by Maverick’s music director, Alexander Platt. Mezzo-soprano Maria Todaro, pianist Stephen Gosling and cellist Emmanuel Feldman join the Maverick Chamber Players to present a program of 20th-century music with connections to Woodstock.

The evening includes a suite from the ballet Appalachian Spring by Aaron Copland (shown above) and his rarely heard original version of El Amór Brujo, the ballet by Spanish composer Manuel de Falla. El Amór Brujo is also 100 years old this year.

The program emphasizes the connections that the different composers had with Woodstock. Benjamin Britten, with his companion Peter Pears, spent the summer of 1939 with Aaron Copland in Woodstock. While he was here, he composed Young Apollo, a fanfare for piano and strings, for which the British pianist Stephen Gosling will be the soloist in this concert.

Henry Cowell spent the last 20 years of his life in Woodstock, and Gosling will also perform Cowell’s The Banshee, which is played entirely on the strings of the piano. Also on the program is the grave and haunting Song of Solitude for solo cello by the late Robert Starer, who made his home in Woodstock for many years.

Tickets cost $40 and $25. Maverick concerts are held in the historic concert hall at 120 Maverick Road in Woodstock.

KATE PIERSON ARRIVED IN THE CATSKILLS when she and the other members of the B-52s needed to get away from New York City following the 1985 death of founding member and guitarist Ricky Wilson.

T

iming can be everything: in creating a solo album of new music. In learning to make beautiful and functional pieces of ceramic art. In setting a date to get married. For Kate Pierson and her new wife, Monica Coleman, good timing has been a part of all of those events.

“Things just came together,” says Pierson, who shot to fame – and, at 67, prevails there – when the B-52s’ “Rock Lobster” became their first of many hit singles back in the day. In July, everyone’s favorite party band was in Hawaii for a private event – and so was Sia, the Australian singer/songwriter and music video director who was executive producer for Pierson’s new solo recording, Guitars and Microphones. “Monica and I have been together for 12 years,” says Pierson, “and we wanted to get married sometime – when there was enough time.

So, the B-52s were all there, and so was my friend Sia…it was like a harmonic convergence!” she laughs. “So, we hurried to get everything together and did the ceremony at the hotel. Our band was the Lim Family, a traditional Hawaiian band whom I met 15 years ago. Sia, who wrote the song ‘Crush Me with Your Love’ for my Guitars and Microphones album, sang it for us at the wedding.”

On Friday, August 28, Pierson brings her iconic star-power to the Byrdcliffe Barn for a special benefit performance to raise funds for the Guild’s Ceramic Studio. During the intimate evening, she’ll showcase Guitars and Microphones, along with some of the B-52s tunes.

Working on Guitars and Microphones was a different kind of creative process

for Pierson, who says that Sia’s style of co-writing was “a little terrifying, very fast.

I had some lyrics and ideas to start with, and I wanted this album to reflect my personal life, my journey. With the B-52s, we’d have a title and just jam – for hours, days, weeks sometimes – and the finished work was like a collage. It wasn’t necessarily three par ts with a chorus, which was, uh, part of its unique quality,” she laughs.

“This new album is more of a personal statement, more deliberate than creating party dance music. It includes some ballads, and more emotional, biographical songs. It worked out really well.”

Pierson arrived in the Catskills when she and the other members of the B-52s needed to get away from New York City following the 1985 death of founding member and guitarist Ricky Wilson. “It was a crisis for all of us, and we wondered if it might be the end of the band.

Laura Levine, who owns the Mystery Spot in Phoenicia, and she said, ‘Come visit.’ I was just tagging along, but I found my dream house, a beautiful small cottage, and bought it in 1987. Then, in 2000, I built a new house here.”

Once she established her Catskills roots, she became the very hip boutique hotel proprietor of Kate’s Lazy Meadow, too.

Originally built in Mount Tremper in 1952, it has been, as she puts it, lovingly restored to its former glory with “maximum color and mid-century style.”

The New Jersey suburb where Pierson grew up had a lot of trees; her grandmother had a place near a wooded lake – and so did the B-52s when they lived in Georgia. “I always wanted to live in the country, and I love this area. It’s liberal, artistic, near enough to the City and there’s plenty to do here. Monica and I are passionate gardeners – we just put up pickles – and weeding is my therapy. We grow a lot of our own food and flowers.”

Coleman serves on the Board of Directors of the Woodstock Byrdcliffe Guild and is a photographer, a talented ceramics artist and Pierson’s manager.

“Monica has a very artistic nature, combined with an incredible business sense. She did the photo for my album cover and directed the album’s first video with Fred Armisted. And she’s been doing some road tour managing, too, even though she likes a little more solitude,” Pierson says. The couple built

YOUR ENTIRE PURCHASE

a small ceramics studio at their home, and Coleman studies with Ceramicsin-Residence director Rich Conti, who has taught at Byrdcliffe for two decades.

Conti has nearly as much star-power as Pierson, and his classes fill up quickly every time they’re offered. “Monica has quickly advanced, and her work is very original, with Japanese influences. We have a collection of Russell Wright pottery, but we’ve slowly been moving his pieces out in favor of hers,” she laughs.

“I wasn’t really aware of all the Byrdcliffe buildings, and I got very fired up about White Pines, the Ralph Whitehead house,” Pierson says. “When you say you live near Woodstock, people say ‘that concert,’ and you say, ‘Well, actually, it was kinda far away from here’; but people should be more familiar with Woodstock’s role as an artist colony. There’s such incredible history here. When you see those old photos of Hervey White, founder of Maverick Concerts, he looks so hippie, so current. White Pines should be fully restored, like Jackie Kennedy restored the White House: furniture, fixtures, everything. I give the Guild a lot of credit for trying, but things have to be fixed as they come up, as needed. That house is the jewel in the crown, and people should come here just to see it.”

Keeping a focus on our local assets extends into Pierson’s music, too. She enjoys playing with the Connor Kennedy Band and Mike + Ruthy because “playing with them, playing with friends and having that kind of support is really great.” And, that new red guitar that she’s playing?

Custom-made for her, by Joe Veillette.

Performing as a solo artist feels, in some ways, like the beginning of the B-52s, Pierson says. “There’s a thrill and electricity that happens. I’ve been talking with the audience from the stage. People

L

ooking at beautiful landscape paintings like those produced in the 19th century by the Hudson River School of Art is certainly rewarding in itself, but the experience can easily be enhanced for us lucky mid-Hudsonites by standing where the artists stood and taking in those iconic views the way that they look today. This summer, the Thomas Cole National Historic Site has been leading guided hikes to actual viewpoints used by Cole and his contemporaries, including Frederic Church, Jasper Cropsey, Sanford Gifford and Asher B. Durand.

The next one in the series, a moderate (4+ hours) hike to Sunset Rock and the Catskill Mountain House site, heads out this Saturday, August 22 at 9 a.m. from the historic site’s visitor center at 218 Spring Street in Catskill. Additional hikes will revisit Sunset Rock and the Catskill Mountain House on September 26 and the Catskill Mountain House and North/South Lake (easy, 2+ hours) on September 12 and October 3.

Reservations must be made in advance by visiting www.thomascole.org/current-events and clicking on the link to the reservation form. For ticket prices and additional information, call (518) 943-7465.

know the lyrics to my new material and that’s a great feeling. I do ‘Roam,’ ‘Shiny Happy People,’ ‘Candy’ – singing the Iggy Pop parts – and it’s all really so much fun.”

The process of creating and now touring in support of her new album has been “sort of like gardening,” she adds. “There are new plant growths, new roots, and that’s satisfying. It feels very right to me.

One reason I wanted to do a solo project was that it feels very gratifying to me to contribute to our community. I saw the Fugs perform at the Barn, and now it’s coming full circle for me with this concert, this new work. It’s fearsome to launch a solo project. It feels like leaving the mothership and launching into outer space. This effort to expand the pottery barn, one of the original crafts offered here in the artist colony, is very important.

We’ve got to keep the potters potting!”

Proceeds from Pierson’s August 28 concert will be used to expand Byrdcliffe’s existing Ceramics Studio. The renovation plans include converting the lower Byrdcliffe Barn space to accommodate five community studio rentals; expansion of kiln space to allow for larger firings; adding raku, hand-building and tilemaking to current wheel-throwing classes; and winterizing the entire Ceramics Studio to allow for extended use.

Catskill’s Open Studio hosts tenth anniversary party this Saturday Anyone who has visited or even driven by the Open Studio on Main Street in Catskill might think that there is always a party going on inside, given the raucously colorful décor of the shop’s exterior. There may in fact be a party going on all the time inside the minds of its two artist/proprietors, Dina Bursztyn and Julie Chase. Their individual and collaborative expressions of creativity leave no doubt that the world at large is their canvas and nothing is safe from becoming an element of art.

The Open Studio was conceived and converted (it used to be a fried chicken joint) in 2005. “We worked for a year to transform the building’s Main Street storefront into a permanent open studio where we could make, show and sell our artwork. Our original vision was to create a different sort of gallery: a hybrid, a place where one could buy affordable original artwork but also a good book, a wooden spoon, a finger puppet and other handcrafted objects from around the world.”

Now Bursztyn and Chase are throwing an actual party to celebrate a decade of Free Range Art. The public is invited to join them on Saturday, August 22 for an evening of casual art appreciation and nibbling and drinking and general

convivial chitchat. It’s their way of expressing gratitude for the community’s ten years of support. Plus, a new installation of work will be on display in the gallery – one that includes a new generation of Chase’s Kachina-inspired dolls, hand-sewn with found fabrics and adorned with charms, and her latest vintage photographs transformed with obsessive embroidery work; and Bursztyn’s newest sculptural planters, forest creatures made of clay, wood and seeds, ceramic masks and shrines and small editions of artists’ books for all ages.

Often using castoff odds and ends and natural materials along with paint, clay and more traditional media techniques, the artists reimagine and repurpose other people’s junk to fashion quirky, eclectic objects of art. Interesting little and big sculptures and hangings and items that have no purpose whatsoever except to please the eye and challenge the “linear, hierarchical systems” and ways of thinking: That’s what you’ll find at the Open Studio.

An area is dedicated to the ongoing installation ArTchaeological Museum, showing a Portrait of the First Outsider Artist and the Remains of Frederic Church’s Hat and many other ArTifacts.

Additionally, visitors will find array of toys, handicrafts, instruments and vintage offerings from around the world, and a curated collection of used books as well.

Exhibits and displays in the gallery change throughout the year, and work has begun to spill out and onto the street with a sidewalk mosaic, ceramic planters at the entrance and murals and gargoyles on the building’s exterior.

Gallery hours are Fridays and Saturdays from 12 noon to 6 p.m., Sundays from 12 noon to 4 p.m. and by appointment or chance.

Tethera (with myriad regional variants).

I had heard those words somewhere along the line, but didn’t know what they meant. But now I do – and that’s the sort of thing that happens when you nitpick the inclusion of multiple references to the cultural meme of “counting sheep” as an insomnia remedy in a movie intended for worldwide distribution. I figured that the metaphor was something from AngloAmerican folklore that wouldn’t translate very well, so I leapt into Googleland intending to gather some evidence before I made my claim.

Well, guess what? Sometimes it’s goats instead of sheep, and sometimes it’s another person besides yourself whom you’re trying to make drowsy; but the tedious recitation of the movement of domesticated ungulates from one place to another is in fact an ancient and

widespread cliché. Sancho Panza tries (unsuccessfully) to lull Don Quixote to sleep by describing hundreds of goats being ferried two-by-two across a river. That was written in 1605, and was apparently inspired by a humorous episode in a 12th-century Spanish tome titled Disciplina Clericalis, which in turn was derived from a variety of Moorish literary sources. “Counting sheep was probably a widely recognized practice in the Islamic world before the early 12th century,” avers that modern Delphic oracle Wikipedia. Who knew?

Despite being an enthusiastic fan of Aardman’s style of stop-motion Claymation, I also had no idea, until I delved a bit more deeply, how much of a “thing” Shaun the Sheep is. Like most folks, I had made the winsome wooly beastie’s acquaintance in the 1995 Wallace

& Gromit short A Close Shave, in which young Shaun proves nearly as plucky and resourceful when disaster strikes as Gromit the long-suffering dog himself.

Seeing a Serta mattress delivery truck pass by with big pictures of Shaun all over it always puts a smile on my face.

Shaun is a happening international superstar.

And I was vaguely aware that Shaun the Sheep is a popular TV series in the UK, but a bit more difficult to find in the US. (It’s currently available by subscription to Amazon Prime, and has run on the Disney Channel in the past.)

But did you know that the TV version has already run for more than 130 episodes since 2007, and can be seen in

Winter’s Bone was shot at actual homes in the Ozarks, with much of the supporting cast recruited among residents of the area.

One such non-actor was a burly biker named Ron Hall, a veteran of two tours of duty in Vietnam who goes by the nickname Stray Dog in real life and played backwoods meth kingpin Thump Milton in the movie. Hall is shown above with his greatgrandson and his granddaughter, Robin, in Stray Dog.

SCREENING

Postwar peace of mind Winter’s Bone director Debra Granik discusses new documentary Stray Dog at Upstate Films this weekend

I

ndependent filmmaker Debra Granik first made her mark as a highly talented iconoclast with one of the most successful feature films ever shot in the mid-Hudson Valley, Down to the Bone. It won Granik the Dramatic Directing Award and star Vera Farmiga the Special Jury Prize for Acting at its 2004 Sundance Film Festival premiere. She’ll be back on familiar turf this weekend, for discussions following screenings of her latest feature – a documentary this time – at Upstate Films in Woodstock on Saturday and Rhinebeck on Sunday.

The director is best-known for her second dramatic feature, Winter’s Bone, which triggered Jennifer Lawrence’s meteoric rise to superstardom, copped the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance in 2010 and four Academy Award nominations including Best Picture the following year.

Both of Granik’s breakthrough films deal with drug addiction and poverty in rural America, earning her a reputation for bleak, powerful narratives and characterizations that avoid stereotyping.

Winter’s Bone was shot at actual homes in the Ozarks, with much of the supporting cast recruited among residents of the area. One such non-actor was a burly biker named Ron Hall, a veteran of two tours of duty in Vietnam who goes by the nickname Stray Dog in real life and played backwoods meth kingpin Thump Milton in the movie.

But Granik wasn’t done with Hall when Winter’s Bone wrapped. “I realized there was a lot of American history in this one man’s body and psyche: coming of age in Southeast Asia, feeling like a lost and adrift person, coming from a generation of stoic Vietnam veterans who didn’t realize they had PTSD despite retaining all their limbs,” she has said. So she decided to make him the focus of her new documentary, Stray Dog. After years of living like a hermit with his war nightmares, Hall eventually emerged to attend military funerals and counseling sessions with vets, serve as the benevolent manager of an RV park and learn Spanish to bond with his Mexican wife, Alicia, and help her twin teenage sons immigrate to the US. His story, as captured by Granik, is described as “a captivating, humanist account of a decent American man who has come to terms with himself and acquired a rare wisdom and patience in the process” – or as the Los Angeles Times called Hall in its review of Stray Dog, “a man with a compassion as big as his gut.”

Stray Dog will be shown at 8 p.m. on Saturday, August 22 at Upstate Films Woodstock and at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, August 23 at Upstate Films Rhinebeck. A live question-and-answer session with Debra Granik will follow each screening. Tickets cost $10 general admission, $6 for Upstate Films members. For more info visit http://upstatefilms.org.

Nintendo DS? In 2011 there was a British stage musical version called Shaun’s Big Show. The International Rugby Board is using the character to market this year’s Rugby World Cup to budding fans, while giant artist-decorated Shaun statues are being put up all over London and Bristol, later to be auctioned off for charity. Land’s End in Cornwall (the place, not the mailorder company) now hosts an interactive attraction called the Shaun the Sheep Experience, and next year a Shaun the Sheep Land theme park is slated to open at the Skånes Djurpark zoo in Sweden.

Seriously.

So if you didn’t know it already, now you do: Shaun is a happening international superstar. How can you not go see his first featurelength movie?

Even if you don’t have any tots handy to bring along, don’t be put off by the “kids’ flick” categorization. Like past Aardman Animations productions Chicken Run, Flushed Away, The Pirates! Band of Misfits and Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, the Shaun the Sheep movie is an immersion in slapstick silliness that is thoroughly enjoyable at any age – the more so if you cherish that affection for the absurd that peculiarly characterizes the best British humor.

To keep adults amused, it’s salted with pop-culture references that will sail over children’s heads, such as a dangerous cat kept locked up behind Plexiglas walls and collared like Hannibal Lecter in The Silence of the Lambs.

Richard Starzak and Mark Burton direct – not Shaun’s creator, Nick Park – and the look is slicker and less earthy than the original Wallace & Gromit shorts, using a hybrid of animation techniques that combine models and puppets with computer-generated animation. But Park’s whimsical, off-kilter approach and general aesthetic still prevail, even if you can’t see his fingerprints in the clay figures anymore.

The movie has no dialogue, and its plot is simple: Bored with their daily routine, the sheep at Mossy Bottom Farm conspire to keep the Farmer out of his house so that they can party. They put him to sleep (guess how?) and lock him up in an old travel trailer, but it breaks loose from its chocks and rolls downhill – all the way into the big city. The Farmer bumps his head and develops amnesia, eventually putting his sheep-shearing skills to work as a celebrity hairdresser. Separately, the sheepdog Bitzer and Shaun and the rest of the flock head to the city to try to bring the Farmer back, with the sheep dressing up as people. A mean, obsessive animal control officer stalks them, and an epic jailbreak must be organized before all can be sorted out.

We’re not talking Tolstoy here, folks.

But I’d recommend Shaun the Sheep to anybody. In fact, most of the diehard Aardman fans I know are grownups – or at least able to pass as such. But bring a kid along if you’ve got one handy, for some seriously giggle-inducing, lighthearted, nonstop summer fun.

NATURE

ALMANAC WEEKLY

August 20, 2015

COMET SWIFT-TUTTLE is characterized as humanity’s single most hazardous object in the known universe. But as its pieces slough off, they sure deliver a lovely annual spectacle.

NIGHT SKY

The cosmic basics Fourteen key numbers

M

any are bothered that Pluto is no longer classified as a planet. I think the annoyance runs a bit deeper. Astronomy is very number-heavy. Its textbooks are crammed with countless numerals. Yet everybody knew the number “nine”: nine planets. Most folks could not recite any other celestial fact; but everyone could rattle off the names of all the planets, and knew that there were nine. Then in 2006, some council took that away from them.

Me, I’m a moron when it comes to remembering faces and names, but numbers have always stuck. As a teenager I wanted always to remember that Jupiter, say, spins in nine hours and 50 minutes, and ended up memorizing thousands of physics and astronomy numbers. Of course, some are more important than others.

So what are the most important figures in the cosmos? Ignoring physics and staying with astronomy, here are the top 14, in my opinion. All educated people should know these cold. We’ll use the most meaningful unit for Americans: miles rather than kilometers.

Start with the distance to the Moon and to the Sun: a quarter-million miles, and 93 million miles. That latter figure is actually pretty well-known. It was the first winning $1,000,000 answer on the TV show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?

The size of the Earth, Moon and Sun: Rounding things off, our planet is 8,000 miles wide. The Moon’s diameter is 2,000, while the Sun is nearly a million miles across.

Alternatively, in terms of proportion, the Moon is one-quarter our diameter, while the Sun’s width equals about 100 Earths. In three dimensions, using volume, one million Earths would fit inside a hollow Sun. It’s important to grasp the sun’s immensity fully.

The speed of light and the speed of sound: In one second, a noise will travel four city blocks. In that same time, a flash of light could go more than eight times around the world. The famous light stat is 186,282 miles per second. Round it to 186 thousand.

The number of stars: Our Milky Way galaxy has 400 billion. In the observable universe there are 200 billion galaxies.

Cosmic distances demand that you know three numbers. Our unit is the light-year, which is how far a flash of light travels in a year. The average naked-eye star is 200 lightyears away. The nearest spiral galaxy, Andromeda, is 2 ½ million light-years away. The farthest visible galaxies are about 12 billion light-years away.

These make you astro-savvy. If you know these few numbers, you won’t make the common mistake of thinking that the night’s stars are “millions” of light-years away, for example. Even if you don’t memorize those 14 numbers, letting them in and feeling what they convey gives an important, fundamental sense of the visible universe.

Our Milky Way galaxy has 400 billion stars.

In the observable universe there are 200 billion galaxies.

Meteor wrap Shooting stars in your future

H

ere’s your report on last week’s shooting stars – and what lies in store.

Our region got one of its Top Ten meteor displays of the past 40 years. Last week’s Perseids were fabulous. On Tuesday night stargazers at the Mohonk Mountain House in New Paltz oohed and aahed at the brilliant ones. But an oddly stagnant cloud situation caused virtually everyone east of the river to be buried under overcast. They saw nothing.

The next night, Wednesday, almost everyone was in the clear and most witnessed a fabulous display. True, ten minutes would pass with no shooting stars. But then came periods when a brilliant one tore across the heavens every 30 seconds. A typical report I received was of 15 meteors in 20 minutes Wednesday night after midnight.

The number of Perseids dwindles rapidly after maximum, so the spectacle theoretically ended Wednesday night – and yet lovely stragglers materialized Thursday night, too.

ANDY MAGUIRE

What made this such a grand Perseid shower was that the Moon was absent and the humidity was low. On all three nights the dewpoint was in the 50s, so instead of typical hazy August skies, we had crisp air and countless faint stars. A few Woodstockers told me that they hadn’t seen many – but all then confessed that they’d watched for only a few minutes.

The Perseids stayed in character. They were superfast and only lasted for a second – two seconds tops. One third left behind brief lingering trains.

The Perseids’ parent comet provides a riveting backstory. You see, these meteors are all debris from a comet discovered during the Civil War. Comet Swift-Tuttle, which zooms past Earth every 133 years, passed on the far side of our orbit and was invisible when it returned in the 1990s. But it will be quite bright next time around, in 2126. And in 4479 (keep eating those health foods) it will look dazzling as it comes extraordinarily close, missing us by only a few Moon-distances.

Because it’s huge (16 miles wide) and extremely fast (37 miles per second), it would wreak catastrophe if it hit us. Such an impact would be 27 times more violent than the extinction event wrought by the object that struck the Yucatan peninsula 65 million years ago and destroyed all the dinosaurs. Thus, while we’re definitely safe for the next few millennia, we may well have to deal with a hyperviolent impact in the far future.

Indeed, Comet Swift-Tuttle is characterized as humanity’s single most hazardous object in the known universe. But as its pieces slough off, they sure deliver a lovely annual spectacle.

If you’re now hooked on “falling stars,” here’s what lies ahead: The Leonids gave us the best meteor shower of our lives before dawn on November 18, 2001 – five brilliant green ones per minute, all with lingering trains. That spectacle lasted for several hours.

Sadly, that shower will be essentially nonexistent this year, and won’t fully return until 2099. But the Geminids should be wonderful on December 13, and they’re active by 8 p.m.; no need to wait till midnight.

Actually, if you’re patient, you don’t even need a meteor shower. Stretch out on a lawn chair any moonless night that’s not hazy, and you’ll see a meteor every ten or 15 minutes.

After midnight you can count on six of these so-called sporadics each hour. Look for colors and variable speeds. Keep watching and you’ll eventually see one explode into fragments, which is called a bolide. If it’s bright enough to cast shadows it’s a fireball.

These are all in your future if you watch the night sky. And the price is right.

Not so: The white one displays a passionate juxtaposition between a pure lily-whiteness and a wildness from the squiggly, threadlike rays of its corona backdropping female stigmas that arch over the yellow pollen-dusted anthers.

A white passionflower is a rarity. Mine sprang up by chance from a batch of seeds that I planted last year. Mostly the plants bear purple-and-white flowers.

Most passionflowers are tropical, but this white-flowered passionflower, like its mother and siblings, can survive outdoors even with our winter lows of well below zero degrees Fahrenheit. Commonly

Passionfruits are delicious, and maypop fruits taste like the tropical passionfruits that flavor Hawaiian Punch known as maypop, Passiflora incarnata is native to eastern US as far north as Pennsylvania. Tropical passionflowers are woody perennial vines; maypop is an herbaceous perennial vine, dying back to the ground each fall, but sprouting each spring from its perennial roots.

Vine growth begins late, typically not showing until early June here in the Hudson Valley. Summer warmth coaxes it along to begin flowering in July. Once the flowers appear, they continue almost nonstop through the summer until fall, with one to a few new flowers opening each day.

Fruits soon follow the flowers – yes, fruits! Passionfruits are delicious, and maypop fruits taste pretty much the same as tropical passionfruits: the main flavor in Hawaiian Punch, in case you think that you’re unfamiliar with the fruit. The fruit is egg-shaped, its interior packed full of seeds, each of which is surrounded by a thick coat of deliciousness, in much the same way as pomegranate seeds.

I haven’t figured out where to plant my maypops, so they’re still in large pots.

Years ago, I had a couple in the ground at the base of a lilac tree. The maypops climbed into the lilac to put on a show through summer, after the lilac itself was no longer interesting. Now I want a fence for it to clothe in a heat-capturing spot in full sunlight. Maypop does spread underground, to the extent that it’s

considered a weed in the Deep South, where it really can run wild. Spread is less here; but still, I need a location for it that takes that potential into account.

Alternatively, I’ll plant it in a deep, bottomless container, such as a chimney flue.

If truth be told, the “passion” that gave passionflowers their name refers to a religious passion: the passion of Christ. The plant was a 17th-century teaching tool for spreading the gospel.

Passionflower “had clearly been designed by the Great Creator that it might, in due time, assist in the conversion of the heathen among which it grows,” wrote a Christian scholar of the 17th century. The ten so-called petals (botanically, five petals and five petallike sepals) were taken to represent the ten apostles present at the crucifixion. The threadlike rays of the corona were taken for symbols of the crown of thorns. The five stamens and three styles referred, respectively, to the five wounds of Christ and the three nails used in the crucifixion.

Even the rest of the plant figures in, with the three-lobed leaves representing the Trinity and the tendrils representing the scourges.

Passionflowers are heavenly enough to bring on a religious devotion to growing the plants – which brings us to sex: The flowers are andromonoecious, which means that on every plant some flowers are perfect (have functioning male and female flower parts) and some are functionally male. Functional males have female parts, but are functionally male either because their stigmas are held upwards out of the way of insect visitors or because their female parts are atrophied. So grow two plants if insects are to do your bidding, one plant if you’ll take care of pollination.

See my book Uncommon Fruits for Every Garden for more (a whole chapter!) on hardy passionfruits.

My asparagus is now a six-foot-high ferny hedge outside and along the eastern edge of one of the vegetable gardens. It’s a pretty sight, until my eyes drop downward to see the weeds sprouting at the “hedge’s” feet. Not that the weeds are putting the brakes on the asparagus, but they are making seeds that then spread into the vegetable garden.

I’ve seen gardens and farms where asparagus beds were abandoned because of weeds. Mulching and early-season weeding only go so far.

LEE REICH | ALMANAC WEEKLY

The “passion” that gave passionflowers their name refers to a religious passion: the passion of Christ. The plant was a 17th-century teaching tool for spreading the gospel.

The usual recommendation for growing asparagus is to purchase roots and plant them at the bottom of a deep trench. As new shoots grow, the trench is gradually filled in with soil. More recent research showed that such heroic efforts were unnecessary. I planted my asparagus just deep enough to get them into the ground.

The reason for trenching asparagus was to get the crowns low enough so that a tiller or hoe could be used to kill weeds without damaging the crown – all of which is impossible when the crowns are planted with their buds just beneath the surface.

So these days I’m periodically crawling into the hedge, becoming very intimate with the ground there, and pulling out all the weeds.

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 â&#x20AC;&#x153;bottle babiesâ&#x20AC;?. 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

DEAR BUSINESSMAN/WOMAN- We at Hardscrabble Flea Market & Swap Meet would like to congratulate you on being picked from over 100 businesses in your field. We believe we can help each other- We have a swap meet every Sunday, 8 a.m.-4 p.m. at Holy Cow Shopping Center, in addition to a flea market/ garage sale.

PRAYER TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN .

(Never known to fail.) Oh, most beautiful flower of Mt. Carmel, fruitful vine splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son of God. Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity. Oh, Star of the Sea, help me and show me herein you are my mother. Oh, Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth! I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in this necessity.

There are none that can withstand your power. Oh, show me herein you are my mother. Oh Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee (3x). Holy Mother, I place this cause in your hands (3x). Holy Spirit, you who solve all problems, light all roads so that I can attain my goal. You who gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me and that in all instances in my life you are with me, I want in this short prayer to thankyou for all things as you confirm once again that I never want to be separated from you in eternal glory. Thank-you for your mercy towards me and mine.

The person must say this prayer 3 consecutive days, the request will be granted. This prayer must be published after the favor is granted.
