1. Hudson River Valley Ramble It’s getting harder to remember a time when the Hudson River Valley Ramble wasn’t an annual institution in our region. What started as a oneweek celebration of the creation of the Hudson River Valley National Heritage Area has blossomed into three full weeks’ and four weekends’ worth of hikes, bikes, paddles, nature talks, historic site tours, fairs and festivals throughout the Valley. You can find your ideal Ramble among hundreds using the search tool on the website at http://hudsonrivervalleyramble.com,

but in the meantime here are a few mid-Hudson opportunities for this weekend: In Ulster County, on Saturday, September 12, gather at the Prediger Road Trailhead in Elka Park at 9 a.m. to join the Rip Van Winkle Hiking Club for a moderate four-to-five-mile hike to Jimmy Dolan Notch, with an optional side trip to Indian Head. A less-strenuous Mushroom Ramble (to learn identification, not to collect) takes off, also at 9 a.m., at the Esopus Bend Nature Preserve in Saugerties. Or come to Slabsides at the John Burroughs Nature Sanctuary in West Park at 10 a.m. for a Geology Ramble with Vassar professor Jeff Walker. At 5 p.m. at Esopus Meadows in Ulster Park, there’ll

2. Free Drum Boogie Festival in Woodstock The fourth biennial Drum Boogie Festival takes over Andy Lee Field in Woodstock on Saturday, September 12 starting at 11 a.m. While the lineup features a fair share of Bacchanalian revelry (especially when local reggae favorites the Big Takeover do just that with their festival-closing set around 6:30), Drum Boogie is somewhat misleadingly named. Kicked off as usual

by Woodstock’s living jazz legend Jack DeJohnette and Garry Kvistad, the founder of Woodstock Chimes and member of the percussion group NEXUS, the Drum Boogie is as concerned with drumming as a global language, a political act and a spiritual exercise as it is with partying, though they are not mutually exclusive.

The master of ceremonies, Ulster County Chamber of Commerce president of Ward Todd, will introduce DeJohnette, who traditionally reads a poem to initiate the festivals. Also featured will be New York State assemblyperson Kevin Cahill, whose support helped establish the first festival in 2009. The harmonic throat singers of Prana will present Baird Hersey’s song “Hallelujah” just prior to the free day of performances of music, singing and dance.

Performing this year are the kids’ music ensemble POOK (Percussion Orchestra of Kingston) and the Energy Dance Company, the Great American Fife and Drum Band, vibraphonist Joe Locke, Japanese taiko player Cobu, the modernist percussion ensemble Nexus, African jazz band Mandara and many more.

Port Ewen’s Tugboat Trail ends with auction at Headless Horseman Now that the summerlong “Tugboat Trail” has ended – the installation of 25

DION OGUST | ALMANAC WEEKLY

Woodstock living jazz legend Jack DeJohnette will kick off the free Drum Boogie festivities this Saturday

artful model tugboats along Route 9W in Esopus – the tugs will be auctioned off at “Tugfest” on Saturday, September 12. The grounds at the Headless Horseman Hayrides and Haunted Houses venue in Ulster Park will open at 12 noon for visitors, free of charge.

The tugboats will be artfully arranged in the gardens at the site for previewing awaiting their 3 p.m. auction, but visitors who arrive earlier will enjoy the soulful vocals and blues guitar of Murali Coryell and wine-tasting with Ulster Park-based El Paso Winery from just down the road. Local restaurants (as well as a few fire departments) will compete in the Meatball Rivalry Cook-off, with samples available at nominal charge and additional food available for purchase. The rain date is Sunday, September 13.

Radio talk show hosts Tony Marmo, Rich Mathews, Lew Kirschner and Nina Postupack will serve as auctioneers for the event, which promises some lively bidding starting at $300. In this fifth annual model tugboat auction, there has never been a “leftover” yet when all was said and done, says Lois DeKoskie, cocreator of the Tugboat Trail.

The whole thing started with what amounted to simple community pride.

“It was really just to show a little improvement in town, but it’s gotten big,” says DeKoskie.

A few years back, she and Bernice McNierney, two civic-minded residents of Port Ewen, were pleased that the hamlet in Esopus had recently acquired sidewalks.

Wouldn’t it be nice, Bernice said to Lois, if we couldn’t do something to raise some money and put some flowers out? So with the year being 2011, the bicentennial of the Town of Esopus, a Tugboat Committee was formed by the two women, and the Town of Esopus launched the Tugboat Trail to commemorate its pride in being a 200-year-old Hudson River port town.

Artists (or any community members so inclined) were invited to Town Hall to pick up a durable molded plastic model of a tugboat some 40 inches long, unadorned and ready for embellishment and reimagining. The first year there were 12 model tugboats mounted on the Trail, each fanciful small-scale vessel painted or otherwise embellished with a unique theme. The auctioning off of the boats was held at Town Hall the first year, but by last year the popularity of the event had grown to such a degree that it was moved to the Headless Horseman venue in Ulster Park, whose owners offered the site for the auction since they don’t start their fall events until the following weekend.

This year there were 25 model tugs “anchored” alongside Route 9W all summer. Two artists working together recreated the Beatles’ Yellow Submarine, complete with a Blue Meanie painted on the side of the boat. Another person transformed the tugboat into a seagoing John Deere tractor, with others paying tribute to the State Troopers and the

historic John J. Harvey fireboat. “We’re very impressed with the whole fleet of boats this year,” says DeKoskie.

Some are purchased at the auction by local residents, who display them year-round on their property. Others end up “setting sail,” as the committee puts it, for further destinations. “We had one go to Florida,”

DeKoskie notes, “and another to Syracuse.

And one went to an apartment in New York City to hang above their bar.”

Proceeds from the auction go back into buying more tugboat forms for next year’s event and into continuing beautification projects along Route 9W in Port Ewen. And those flowers that the money was initially raised for? Well, they did put some flowers around town, says DeKoskie, but they didn’t last long.

The committee is looking to other towns for advice now on how to make the next round of plantings longer-lived; but in the meantime, the tugboats have turned out to be a beautification project for the hamlet with no end in sight – and the tugs don’t need watering.

Bard College’s Clemente Course wins National Humanities Medal Each year, the White House and the National Endowment for the Humanities confer awards called the National Humanities Medal to honor “individuals and organizations whose work has deepened the nation’s understanding of the human experience, broadened citizens’ engagement with history and literature or helped preserve and expand Americans’ access to cultural resources.” Among the recipients of the 2014 National Humanities Medal, to be handed out at the White House on September 10, is Bard College’s Clemente Course in the Humanities. Bard professor and Clemente Course academic director Marina van Zuylen will travel to Washington, DC to accept the award from President Obama.

Through a 20-year partnership with Bard College and other colleges and universities, the Clemente Course has offered a tuition-free, college-level course in the humanities – Philosophy, Literature, US History, Art History, Critical Thinking and Writing – to more than 10,000 adults living on low incomes who have limited access to college education in communities throughout the US. Clemente courses are taught by college and university professors, and books, course materials, child care and transportation are provided without charge.

In the citation for the medal, the White House said that the Clemente program was being honored “for improving the lives of disadvantaged adults. The Clemente Course has brought free humanities education to thousands of men and women, enriching their lives and broadening their horizons.” Although many students who complete the course go on to college, the program’s deepest goal is to generate the kind of civic engagement that has been denied to individuals and families marginalized by poverty and lack of access to cultural resources.

The Bard College Clemente Course is currently accepting applications for its 2015/16 class in Kingston. For more information, visit http://clemente.bard. edu/about.

Akiko Busch talk on citizen science this Saturday at Clermont The more we hear about the fossil fuel industry, Big Pharma and agribusiness creating “informational” websites that attempt to suppress hard science that doesn’t serve their profit margins and replace it with “junk science” produced by people on their payrolls, the more heartening it is to know that “citizen science” is trending as a more populist alternative. If you don’t trust the data that you’re being spoon-fed, you can always go gather some of your own – and then figure out how to use it to clean up your own backyard.

The Incidental Steward: Reflections on Citizen Science is the title of the most recent book by Akiko Busch, a Hudson Valley resident who writes about design, culture and the natural world for a variety of publications and teaches at the School of Visual Arts and at Bennington College. In The Incidental Steward, which focuses on the Hudson River and its Valley, she looks at how people can learn from the changing natural world around them, and then act, based on close observation and recording.

The book received an honorable mention in the National History Literature category for the 2013 National Outdoor Book Awards.

This Saturday, September 12 at 3 p.m., Busch will lecture at the James D. Livingston Library in Clermont Cottage at the Clermont State Historic Site, cohosted by the Friends of Clermont and the Tivoli Free Library. After the talk Busch will take questions, and wine and refreshments will be served.

Admission is free, but space is limited and reservations are recommended. Clermont

Cottage is located at 87 Clermont Avenue in Germantown. For more information or to make a reservation, call (518) 5376622 or visit www.friendsofclermont.org or http://tivolilibrary.org.

Kerhonkson Day/5K race, Community Church Music Festival this weekend Kerhonkson used to be known as Middle Port back when the D & H Canal was a big thing in Ulster County, carrying coal down from the Pennsylvania hills and goods up into what was something of a not-so-distant frontier. The community later became a railroad town, centering a region of farms and then boardinghouses. Synagogues were built, country churches and a centering school and business district. Times slipped, but now there are new dreams tied to the return of resorts and the advent of a new rail trail near where the canal bed still draws the curious.

This Saturday, for the fourth time running, will be Kerhonkson Day, a 9 a.m.-to-3 p.m. mix of a five-kilometer road

NEIGHBORHOOD

Championing the mom-and-pop store ethos of Uptown Kingston Stockade businesswoman Karen Clark Adin to move Bop to Tottom to more spacious digs at the corner of Wall & North Front Streets

C

all her prejudiced on the subject, but Karen Clark Adin feels like things are finally coming around in Kingston’s Uptown area. Clark Adin owns Bop to Tottom, the eclectic gift store that has, for the past 15 years, stood at the corner of John and Wall Streets.

Her shop has been an anchor for the Uptown mom-and-pops that have been nesting under and near the shade of Uptown’s newly renovated Pike Plan awnings.

And now she’s picking up that anchor and moving it exactly one block up Wall Street, the better to enjoy those awnings (no more snow-shoveling!) and to go a little deeper into the heart of the city that she fell in love with some 35 years ago.

Clark Adin grew up in Syracuse. She has never forgotten the thrill of accompanying her grandmother when she was a girl on monthly jaunts to the department stores of downtown Syracuse: visits that meant getting dressed up and having lunch among ladies wearing white gloves, jaunty hats and other such Sunday finery. At the same time, her memories are just as fierce and fond of the Syracuse Regional Market, where local produce was to be had in abundance.

Clark Adin came to Kingston in 1979. One look at Uptown triggered her lifelong wish to own and operate a store of her own. She loved it even when Uptown was looking anything but up, watching with dismay as the mom-and-pops of an earlier era – Yallum’s clothing and shoe store, London’s Department Store, Schneller’s Meat Market, Rafalowsky’s men’s store, the Mohican Market – shuttered after chain stores sprung up like mushrooms along Kingston’s highways.

It took some years, but by 1994, Clark Adin found a perch on Wall Street, where for the next six years she worked as operations coordinator for the long-gone and much-lamented Anyone Can Whistle shop in the old Standard Furniture building where BSP is located today, half a block up from where Bop to Tottom has been since 2000. (By the by, Clark Adin also founded the Kingston’s Farmers’ Market that same year.)

Clark Adin believes that the retailing pendulum has swung the other way after all these years – away from big-box stores. She has only to point to the Farmers’ Market and her own shop to buttress that opinion, let alone the list of other locally owned

shops that have recently come to roost in Uptown: Sissy’s Cafe, Boitson’s Restaurant, Frogmore Tavern, The Tappen, Yum Yum Noodle Bar and Duo on the culinary front, and popular relatively new businesses like the Stockade Tavern, Outdated, Fleisher’s Craft Butchery, Tech Smiths and Rhino Records, to name a few.

It’s not like Uptown will do to big-box stores what big-box stores did to Uptown back when. It’s just that there’s a different energy about shopping and strolling and lunching Uptown these days; and energy, as far as Clark Adin’s concerned, is what successful retailing is all about. “I call it ‘conscious commerce,’” she said last week. “My philosophy of life is that everything is about the exchange of energy.”

She believes that the energy shoppers bring to, let’s say, buying a gift, translates from the shop to the shopper to the person being gifted. “Giving and sending positive energy is essential,” Clark Adin said.

“So after we move, we’ll launch our ‘Get Your Love On and Shop for a Cause’ campaign and select certain shopping weekends in which a chosen local charity will be gifted a portion of our proceeds.”

There’s other evidence to be found, she said.

“Independent retailers are a community-minded breed. When you go to a Little League game and see all these banners and signs of support in the outfield, it’s all locals doing that. That’s what we’re all about up here.”

And that, she concludes, is why the mom-and-pop ethos that continues to power Uptown will win out over every big, boxy obstacle.

42nd annual Olive Day this Saturday Olive Day, which takes place deep in the hinterlands of Ulster County in the Town of Olive’s West Shokan-based Davis Park, is about as truly country an event as can be pulled together these days. It began as (and has occasionally engendered a small amount of controversy because of being) a local political fundraiser. It’s now in its 42 nd year as a means for this diverse rural community to come out and celebrate itself with music, loads of games, great food and a natural bonhomie that’s thrilling to join in with.

There are dunking booths, kids’ activities, a beer tent and everyone welcoming everyone: just what small town life’s supposed to be. This year there’s even a five-kilometer run, a farmers’ market of locally grown fare, a car show and even an Arm-of-the-Sea Theater performance of The Rejuvenary River Circus at 11 a.m.

Bop to Tottom’s grand opening at its new location will be celebrated on Friday, October 23, 4 p.m. at 334 Wall Street in Kingston. Call (845) 338-8100 for details.

to a mix of old and new families from around the area, without the snootiness that one might associate with such organizations. It’s truly about riding and getting to spend time with one’s horses.

Similarly, its run of annual horse shows, which continue with their September event all day Sunday, September 13 (following similar shows in June and July, and upcoming in October), is all about the family fun of English- and Western-style riding, without the competitive jodhpurs and poise of other regional horse-scene get-togethers.

You buy homemade food and drink if in need. You meet people. You admire the noble beasts at hand. Ah, old-school!

Breaking Benjamin at Civic Center

T

he story of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania’s modern hardrock stars Breaking Benjamin sports some cruel symmetries, burnt bridges and just rewards. Leaving bona fide opportunity on the table in favor of a big gamble, original members Aaron Fink (guitar) and Mark James Klepaski (bass) left Lifer, a Korn- and Alice in Chains-inspired hard-rock band already signed to Universal, to join forces with Ben Burnley, a hometown songwriter in whom they fiercely believed. These leaps of faith seldom pan out, but this one time it did. The new band, Strangers with Candy, rechristened themselves Breaking Benjamin and immediately began a steady ascent from opener and upand-comer to headliner and hitmaker, a staple of modern rock radio stations like our own WRRV. Lifer’s eponymous 2001 major-label debut eventually proved to be a swan song as well. But let the record show that Lifer’s singer and songwriter Nick Coyle hardly went gentle into that good night. Coyle got signed again in 2005 with the band Drama

surprisingly quiet electro-rock solo record, Sound Makes Waves, in 2014. Good on him.

To position Breaking Benjamin in the modern rock milieu, start with the grunge progenitors that all modern hard-rockers share; add in a healthy dash of dystopian foreboding à la System of a Down; chop and form the heaviest guitars, bass and drums with super-tight glitch editing à la Korn, but without the hip hop undertones; layer space-rock guitar arpeggios and crunch riffs all the day long; make scary screams and growls with your voice every now and then; but most of all, make sure that each and every song comes equipped with a buoyant, radio-ready melody and silky harmonies. Song after song, it is no secret why this band has done as well as it has; Burnley’s tunes bear out Fink and Klepaski’s gamble at every turn.

But what came around went around.

Burnley’s alcohol-related hiatus in the early 20-teens was followed by disputes, litigation, a row over an unauthorized remix and the firing of Fink and Klepaski.

A renewed Burnley resurfaced with a new lineup and a heavy album, 2015’s Dark before Dawn. Meanwhile, storied veterans reaching their 40s in a young man’s game, Fink has turned up in Gentleman East (1,121 Facebook “likes” as of today, but a really neat and much-more-classic-rockstyled EP), while Klepaski joined the Vampire Factory and released a Gothy

Lucius to play Bearsville

T

he mid-Hudson Valley will always claim a role of some importance in the story of the luminous Brooklyn pop band Lucius, wherever that story should lead. Their first BSP appearance, as part of the 2012 O+ Festival, initiated the local buzz. Months later, a dazzling follow-up show at BSP – on a “Brooklyn sampler� bill along with the excellent art-groove band Ava Luna and local psych-pop luminary Shana Falana – cemented it.

That night, Lucius’ now-legendary NPR Tiny Desk performance had just started to go viral and the band radiated a sense of about-to-happen, an energy often more powerful than happening itself. There was a feeling among the half-full weeknight crowd that night that we might see this band on Letterman within in a week or two – intuitively, that seemed to be the trajectory. BSP booking agent Mike Amari, who has co-authored a lot of buzz and incubated more than a couple of blossoming national bands in his time there, leaned over to me and said, “The next time they play here, it will have to be in the back room.� (The back room at BSP holds at least 1,000.)

At that point, of course, Lucius knew what was up and what was going down.

They had already signed on with Tony Margherita Management (Wilco) and bigger stuff was in the works, including a featured weekend at Wilco’s own Solid Sound Festival at MASS MoCA out in Margherita’s neck of the woods. Happening was happening.

Actual liftoff was delayed a bit because, at that time, a four-song proof-of-concept EP was all the music that the band had released. It was an intentionally ADHD sampler, anchored by a couple of high-sheen glitter-pop tunes with a delightful McCartneyesque rocker in “Genevieve� tagged on. But what really crowned the Lucius EP was a brilliant bit of homely country-bluesish crooning called “Go Home,� the song that – no matter what their nominal hit is – remains their most beloved, and justifiably so; few tunes by anyone ever achieve that kind of natural lift.

For all of their style-hopping, musical and wardrobe playfulness, the alien twin ruse and the audacious and confrontational mustachery of the male bandmembers, Lucius’ pop opulence derives from two simple sources: Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig

JOHN COHEN & THE DOWN HILL STRUGGLERS On their fifth proper release, 2015’s John Congleton-produced Restless Ones, the scrappy indie heartlandrock concern Heartless Bastards deliver what is at once their most polished and their wildest record to date.

The arrangements are more arranged, the guitar layers more layered, the moods moodier and more of a studio construct than ever before. But when the time comes for indie-rock squall, ragged abandon and dissonant roots ambiance – when the time comes to remind listeners that this band was first signed to Fat Possum on a tip from the Black Keys – Restless Ones ups that ante as well.

The Dayton, Ohio native songwriter/ guitarist Erika Wennerstrom’s songs remain both sturdy and subtly eccentric, grounded in an implied and updated sense of American myth and mysticism.

Her mournful low-register singing often approaches something like roots chant.

The great John Cohen teams with the Down Hill Strugglers to infuse old-time feeling with freewheelin’ energy, showcasing the true diversity of American folk music.

Lucius

write exceptionally buoyant, articulate and memorable melodies, and all five of them sing like goddamned angels. This makes them a thrilling live band, whether fully outfitted for postmodern electro-pop play or gathered around a single microphone (where they are arguably at their very best).

Happening is a funny thing, deflating in some ways as a world of speculative possibility gives way to a single, tenuous actuality: that this magic pop group is now “just another� nationalized BK concern in a big pool of same, crossed over now to the managed side with all its opportunities and pressures, all the suddenly vague soul-sell bargains of the post-sales era of music. Lucius’ full-length, Wildewoman (2013, Mom & Pop Records), was recorded locally at the rustic Applehead Studio outside of Woodstock. And it is an excellent, maximalist pop record. Two songs from the EP were recut for it, and fans often dispute whether, perhaps, some of their magic was lost in the reboot (call me “not sure�); but the band had the good sense to pass “Go Home� along from EP to LP untouched, in all its original roomy and demo-style glory. It stands out amidst the distressed indie-production pop of Wildewoman like Mt. Sore Thumb, but I would still bet that it is the one song that they are obliged to play every night out, ’cause it just doesn’t seem to get old.

Of all the bands out there looking at a big “what next,� here’s the one that I like to wonder about the most.

Drum Boogie Festival in Woodstock

I

s Garry Kvistad a businessman who plays percussion, or a percussionist who runs a business? In recent years, the percussionist, who was always active to the extent that his business permitted, has been experiencing a resurgence, playing with local ensembles like the Esopus Chamber Orchestra, the Woodstock Chamber Orchestra, the Phoenicia Festival of the Voice and the Maverick Chamber Players.

On Saturday, September 12, the founder of Woodstock Chimes and the full-time member of the percussion group NEXUS – both Kvistad – collaborate in the fourth biennial Drum Boogie Festival, an all-day (11 a.m. to 8 p.m.) all-percussion free concert at Andy Lee Field. Returning to the site of the 2013 Festival, this year’s installment offers a wide diversity of international styles intended to show the range and glory of music for percussion. Five food trucks will be on hand to supply meals and desserts.

Kvistad says the festival grew out of discussions with assemblyman Kevin Cahill about the possibility of providing free music. “Kevin and I began thinking about creating an event that would highlight Ulster County as a major destination for art and cultural activities, and support human service programs in the Hudson Valley,” says Kvistad. Soon they also involved the great jazz drummer and local resident Jack DeJohnette. The two men were talking about the number of percussion players in the area and the general lack of exposure for and understanding of the range of percussion music. (Although it’s called the Drum Boogie Festival, some of this year’s performances include other instruments, dancers and singers.) They both decided to do something, and DeJohnette has since been a participant in every festival. Milton Glaser, another local celebrity artist, designed the Drum Boogie Festival logo and came up with its name (from a 1941 Gene Krupa tune featured in the 1941 movie Ball of Fire).

Kvistad’s statement of purpose is: “Music is a universal language helping to erase lines of hatred and bigotry through the exchange of diverse cultures.” The diversity is vividly demonstrated in this year’s lineup:

11 a.m. Woodstock town supervisor Jeremy Wilber will present the Key to Woodstock award to Jack DeJohnette during Drum Boogie’s opening ceremony. Past recipients of this honor include Levon Helm and Artie and Happy Traum.

11:15 a.m.: POOK (Percussion Orchestra of Kingston) and the Energy Dance Co. (both programs of the Center for Creative Education, based in midtown Kingston). Although all these performers are school kids, their quality level in past performances has been gratifyingly high.

11:45 a.m.: Great American Fife and Drum Band (“one of the leading interpreters of innovative rudimental drumming”).

12:15 p.m.: Gamelan Giri Mekar All-Stars with Special Guests (performing on a collection of authentic Balinese instruments, including percussion and flutes, with Balinese dancers).

1 p.m.: Aanadhha with Dibyarka Chatterjee (Indian tabla drumming).

1:50 p.m.: Joe Locke (“An institution in the world of vibraphone players”).

2:40 p.m.: Cobu (a New York City group that mixes Japanese traditional taiko drum and American tap dance).

3:30 p.m.: Jack DeJohnette joined by Matt Garrison and Foday Musa Suso (legendary Gambian griot and kora master who has collaborated with some

Up-and-coming Welsh group Calan to play in Phoenicia

On Wednesday, September 16, Flying Cat Music presents the vibrant Welsh group Calan in concert in Phoenicia at the Empire State Railway Museum, located at 70 Lower High Street. The doors open at 7 p.m., with the show beginning promptly at 7:30.

When most people think of Celtic music, their minds turn to Ireland and Scotland – or even, perhaps, to Cape Breton in

Nova Scotia, with its rich Celtic fiddling traditions. But a band named Calan is causing many people to rethink that association and nudging Wales towards the center of the Celtic music circle. Calan is an explosively vibrant group of young musicians who in recent years have taken European festivalgoers by storm with their dynamic presentation of the traditional Celtic music of Wales.

This summer marks the first time that Calan has toured North America.

Their Phoenicia show is among a small handful of American appearances that the band will make prior to heading home, after having been invited to play at the just-completed North American Festival of Wales in Columbus, Ohio.

Calan played their first performance at Sesiwn Fawr Dolgellau in 2008, a world music event held in the town of Dolgellau in Wales. Since then, they have played numerous major festivals in the United Kingdom, including Cambridge, Shrewsbury and Fairport’s Cropredy Convention, and they have toured through much of Europe. In 2010, Calan won the prestigious Trophee Loic Raison for Best New Group at Europe’s largest folk festival, the Inter-Celtic Festival of Lorient (English translation), which is attended by 700,000 people annually.

2008 also marked the release of Calan’s first CD, Bling, which immediately won strong praise from fans and critics alike.

This review from the Belfast Telegraph is representative: “The dynamic quintet’s debut album, Bling, has everything you could want from a record: stunning use of instrumentation, gorgeously crafted songs, sprightly foot-tappers, verve and raw excitement.” Songlines Magazine wrote, “Their debut album is as energetic as you might expect, but it also has subtlety and, in places, a mournfulness that is impressive in such a young band.” The Daily Mirror summed it up, noting that Calan on Bling played with “grace, daring and sheer joy.”

When observers describe Calan as a young band, it is not an exaggeration.

Seven years after that debut CD, Calan members are still in their 20s. Several of them met a few years prior to the recording of Bling when a Welsh cultural organization arranged for ten young musicians from Wales to travel to Sweden for Ethno, a festival for young people between 16 and 25. As Angharad Jenkins (one of Calan’s two fiddlers and a two-time junior Celtic fiddle champion) explains, “All of us have come from backgrounds and homes where folk music was listened to and appreciated... We’ve all grown up going to Clera [the Society for Welsh Traditional Instruments] workshops.”

Liner notes for Calan’s latest release, Dinas, are written in both English and Cymraeg, a Brittonic branch of the Celtic languages that is the oldest language in Britain and dates back possibly 4,000 years. Calan’s vocals are also sung in both languages. While they include some original material in their repertoire, in Calan’s own words: “Mainly we like to stick to the task of bringing Welsh traditional music to the people.”

Admission to the September 16 show in Phoenicia at the Empire State Railway Museum costs $15 at the door or $13 with

Hudson venue. It is just an enhanced bit of business as usual, actually: a weekend with a star next to it to be sure, but nothing out of line or out of character with what goes down here routinely.

The repurposing of abandoned industrial spaces as hosts of fiercely contemporary art seems to be the signifier of a new era of renewal, as MASS MoCA, Basilica and about half of Brooklyn attest.

The brainchild of a music world notable in former Hole and Smashing Pumpkins bassist Melissa Auf der Maur, Basilica Hudson is a music-first expression of the same nationwide industrial reclamation theme that gave us the art-first MASS MoCA and Dia Art Foundation sites.

And Basilica has always had a clear house aesthetic, musically: no, not ’90s alt/rock, but long-form post-rock, electronic soundscaping, ecstatic world music, altered-state drone and groovy extensions of what, down in Kingston, is known as Deep Listening. Basilica festivals blithely blend pop and art as if the difference is barely even worth discussing anymore. On the SoundScape bill, one finds the sexuality-charged, polarizing indie/pop of Perfume Genius and Jenny Hval alongside Brooklyn’s oddly ambient metal group Sannnhet and the Triangle Trio: a group of notable New-York-scene drummers plying the trance powers of rhythm.

But Basilica calls itself a multidisciplinary art center, and the SoundScape menu backs that up. Literary offerings at SoundScape include The Night She Slept with a Bear, a lit-andsound collaboration between writer Holly Anderson (Mission of Burma) and composer Chris Brokaw (Come, Codeine); and “Writers in the Rafters” performances

by Dorothea Lasky, Sarah Jean Alexander and Ariana Reines.

On the visual-arts front, contemporary artist Dan Colen will present a suite of new large-scale paintings from his Tar and Feather series – all made on-site at the Basilica. The Tar and Feather series evolved from Colen’s infamous “Hamster Nest” performances with Dash Snow and others in the post-9/11 downtown New York art scene.

In the Basilica back gallery appears The Now Forever: this conflagration is progress, the NOW IS FOREVER! curated

by Michael St. John with Tyler Moore, Carol McCranie and Javier Magri. It features David Alekhougie, Nate Lowman, Nathaniel Robinson, Josh Smith, Borna Sammak, Fox Hysen, Harmony Korine, Brock Enright, Haley Mellin, Dennis Dawson, Alex McQuilkin, Suzanne McClelland and Michael St. John.

utton Foster won her first Tony Award for Best Leading Actress in a Musical via an improbably route: She was the understudy for the title role in the 2002 revival of Thoroughly Modern Millie when the lead actress dropped out during out-oftown previews. That fairytale start was no fluke, however. Foster went on to appear in ten more Broadway shows, including The Drowsy Chaperone, Little Women, Young Frankenstein and Shrek the Musical, and copped her second Best Actress Tony in 2011 as Reno Sweeney in Anything Goes. She’s currently a TV star, portraying Liza Miller in Younger on the TV Land cable network.

Foster will headline a Gala Benefit show launching Half Moon Theatre’s fall season on Saturday, September 26 at the Culinary Institute of America’s shiny new Marriott Pavilion. Tickets for the performance only cost $40 and $75. For $200 you can also attend a Pre-Theatre Reception at the Ristorante Caterina de’Medici; and if you want to go all-out as a sponsor for $600+, you can attend the Gala Cocktail Party in the Marriott Pavilion.

Bard College to host Trisha Brown’s In Plain Site Trisha Brown, whose legendary dance company is working in partnership with the Bard College Dance Program this year, started up as a founding member of the Judson Dance Theater in the early 1960s, and pioneered gravity-defying choreography in the decades that followed with wall-climbing pieces and an epochal series of works played out across urban rooftop. Her long history of sitespecific dance works has been punctuated by collaborative pieces with the likes of Robert Rauschenberg, Donald Judd, Laurie Anderson and various contemporary composers, as well as a growing number of classical greats.

She draws much of what she then presents as dance, and will be presenting

a rare new work, In Plain Site, at various locations on the Bard Campus next Friday afternoon, September 18. “This iteration of Trisha Brown: In Plain Site frees Brown’s dances from the constrictions of the conventional stage, mining and recombining choreography from Brown’s vast repertory to explore the spatial demands of unexpected locations,” reads her description of what’ll unfold. Truly special, this.

As founder and director of the Louis and Mildred Resnick Institute for the Study of Modern Jewish Life at SUNY-New Paltz, Sorin has presented the annual Louis and Mildred Resnick Distinguished Lecture Series at the college every fall semester since 1989, bringing in guest writers, speakers and ďŹ lmmakers who have had an impact on modern Jewish history.

wiped out in a house fire on the eve of her daughter’s wedding. “I can’t recall another novel that so effortlessly weds a nuanced, lyrical voice to an unflinching vision of just how badly things can go for people,� wrote Michael Cunningham, author of The Hours.

TALKS

“Jews & Theatre� Wednesday lecture series at SUNY-New Paltz

“I

’m always reminded of what a friend of mine once said,� says Gerald Sorin. “‘People are interested in how Jews died, but they ought to be also interested in how they lived.’ That’s a powerful thing to say, but I think that’s real. The Holocaust has a kind of macabre, attention-grabbing sense to it, so it’s hard to get people excited about the other stuff. But we do our best.�

As founder and director of the Louis and Mildred Resnick Institute for the Study of Modern Jewish Life at SUNY-New Paltz, Sorin has presented the annual Louis and Mildred Resnick Distinguished Lecture Series at the college every fall semester since 1989, bringing in guest writers, speakers and filmmakers who have had an impact on modern Jewish history. The lectures are open to the community and free of charge to attend, held on Wednesdays at 7:30 p.m. in Lecture Center 104 on the SUNY campus. This fall’s theme is “Jews and Theatre.�

The next lecture in the series will be conducted by Peter Antelyes, associate professor of English and director of Jewish Studies at Vassar College. His topic on Wednesday, September 16 at 7:30 p.m. will be “Staging the Shtetl: Fiddler on the Roof and the Photographs of Roman Vishniac.�

Shtetl is the Yiddish term for “town,� generally used to refer to the small villages with large Jewish populations that existed in pre-World War II Eastern Europe. Photographer Roman Vishniac (1897-1990) produced – according to the International Center of Photography – “the most widely recognized and reproduced photographic record of Jewish life in Eastern Europe between the two World Wars.�

Antelyes’ lecture, says Sorin, will likely compare the portrayal of the shtetl in Fiddler on the Roof to the photographs by Vishniac in order to discuss the authenticity of the theatrical portrayal of the shtetl. But Sorin gives his lecturers free rein in terms of the material that they cover, and he will discover the full content of the lectures along with the audience, trusting his speakers to deliver a presentation with panache that incorporates their solid background in the subject.

Yom Kippur falls on the following Wednesday, September 23, so the lecture series will pick up again on consecutive Wednesdays. On September 30 at 7:30 p.m., speaker Marc Courtade will offer “The Ethnic Musicals: Assimilation and Integration,� examining how musicals in the 20th century reflected the eras and cultures represented. Courtade is a frequent speaker on musical theater and opera, formerly with the New York Council for the Humanities, and is also an actor.

Edna Nashon, author of New York’s Yiddish Theater: From the Bowery to Broadway, will take the stage on Wednesday, October 7 with “Jewish Responses to The Merchant of Venice.� Debra Caplan closes out the series with “Death of a Salesman’s Jewish Homecoming� on Wednesday, October 14. Caplan is an assistant professor of Theater at Baruch College who specializes in Yiddish theater and drama and Jewish performance culture.

The Resnick Institute is not a physical location on the campus, but it is part of the university in New Paltz. It came about, explains Sorin, because local philanthropists Louis and Mildred Resnick wanted to give SUNY-New Paltz money for Jewish Studies. “They were very, very generous people, and had a nice relationship with Alice Chandler, who was president of the college at the time. She called me and asked me to write a proposal for the Institute.�

Sorin began teaching History at the college in 1965, eventually serving as department chair and later director of the Jewish Studies Department. He has written eight books and hundreds of published articles, essays and reviews in professional journals. At 75, Sorin is now retired from classroom teaching, but is still director of the Resnick Institute that he founded in 1989. The Resnicks left a sizable endowment to the university that ensures the Institute to go on in perpetuity, Sorin says, with the earnings from its capital investment paying for the annual lecture series and other programs, like the upcoming reading by poet and author Steven Sher (co-sponsored by the English Department) that will be held in the Honors Center in College Hall on the Main Quad on Tuesday, October 20 at 5 p.m.

The Resnick Institute also promotes a relationship between the college and the New Paltz community, says Sorin. And not just the Jewish community, he notes; a “good proportion� of the audience at the lectures is not Jewish. “We get a lot of generalinterest people coming to these. I’m very glad to be able to play a role at the university, even though I’m mostly retired, and that the role is one which connects the college and the students and the professors to the larger community. That’s a very satisfying thing for me to see.� – Sharyn Flanagan Louis & Mildred Resnick Distinguished Lecture Series, Wednesdays (except September 23) through October 14, 7:30 p.m., free, Lecture Center 104, SUNY-New Paltz, 1 Hawk Drive, New Paltz.

Bill Clegg reads from Man Booker Prize contender this Saturday at Oblong in Rhinebeck One of the most coveted literary awards in the English-speaking world is the Man Booker Prize, which “pro-

motes the finest in fiction by rewarding the very best book of the year.� But until last year, authors from outside the UK and British Commonwealth, Republic of Ireland and Zimbabwe were ineligible. Last year an Australian, Richard Flanagan, took the top honors. But this year, a Hudson Valley resident, noted literary agent and

memoirist Bill Clegg, could turn out to be the very first American writer ever to win the ÂŁ50,000 prize.

Clegg is among the 13 authors longlisted for this year’s Man Booker Prize, for his acclaimed debut novel, Did You Ever Have a Family? It’s the tale of a woman’s crosscountry odyssey to create a new family after those nearest and dearest to her are

Clegg will appear at Oblong Books & Music in Rhinebeck at 7 p.m. on Saturday, September 12 for a presentation, questionand-answer session and book-signing.

That’ll be a scant three days before the Man Booker Prize shortlist will be announced, so expect an atmosphere of electric anticipation! Admission is free.

The power of print Richard Segalman exhibition opens this Saturday in Hudson at Inky Editions

P

rint may be the radical new medium of the art world now.

On the heels of the Publication Studio in Hudson and the continuing success of Bearsville Graphics in Woodstock (as well as the Loeb Center’s various print shows at Vassar), Hudson now has Inky Editions, artist George Tsalikis’ 5,000-square-foot professional printmaking facility and art gallery across from the train station in Hudson. Its first exhibit, “Richard Segalman: Recent Monotypes,” featuring the wellknown Woodstock- and Florida-based artist’s black-and-white works, opens with a big reception and book-signing for Muses, Magic & Monotypes, a new monograph by Susan Forrest Castle, this Saturday, September 12.

Jervis McEntee show opens this Saturday at the Dorsky Museum

Ulster County’s own Hudson River School notable Jervis McEntee receives his first-ever museum retrospective this fall at SUNY New Paltz’ Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art. Cu-

rated by Lee A. Vedder, Jervis McEntee: Painter-Poet of the Hudson River School examines McEntee’s 40-year career and redefines his place in the history of 19th-century American landscape painting.

McEntee (1828-1891) was born and died in Rondout (present day Kingston). The Catskills and the Hudson provided many of the subjects of his luminous landscape paintings. Largely self-taught but for a short period of tutelage under Frederic Chruch, McEntee embodies many of the ideals of his era, also expressed in the work of such peers and friends as Church, Sanford Gifford, John F. Weir, and Wothington Whittredge. The exhibition will include approximately 80 paintings and works on paper from private and public collections.

Opening simultaneously at the Dorsky is Thomas Benjamin Pope: Landscapes of Newburgh and Beyond, curated by Chloe DeRocker. This exhibit showcases eight

paintings by Pope from the collection of Richard and Margeurite Lease. The welltraveled Pope captured these scenes from the Hudson Valley, the White Mountains of New Hampshire, and possibly Europe.

These paintings, notes the curator, feature Pope’s distinctive and style-defining attention to atmosphere and sky.

The McEntee and Pope exhibits at the Dorsky run through December 13, with a joint opening reception this Saturday, September 12 from 5 p.m.-7 p.m. The Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art is located on the campus of the State University of New York at New Paltz.

Jack Murphy photo show opening in New Paltz

A

nyone who has spent any time hanging out in downtown New Paltz since the 1960s knows Jack Murphy, at least by sight. He’s a local “character,” a social worker, artist and raconteur with plenty of stories to tell. He also holds a BFA in Photography, and since the ‘70s has been a member of the Society for Commercial Archaeology, the oldest national organization devoted to the buildings, artifacts, structures, signs and symbols of the 20thcentury commercial landscape.

Every so often Murphy sets off on a road trip to collect photos of urban architecture and Rust Belt remnants. An exhibit of photographs from a recent such expedition, titled “6*19*15,” is on view at the Elting Memorial Library in New Paltz through Friday, October 9, and an opening reception will take place next Tuesday, September 15 from 7 to 9 p.m. in the Library.

“This collection of photographs was made on June 19, 2015, on a one-day road trip up Route 28, from Kingston, New York to the area around Delhi and East Meredith, New York. This day trip was one of many I’ve made with my friend, historian Tom Mounkhall, over the past eight years, or so. We take off along secondary and back roads, and stop anytime something catches our eye,” Murphy writes.

Jack Murphy’s work has previously been exhibited at the Friends of Photography in Carmel, California; the Rockport Photographic Workshops in Rockport, Maine; Western Arizona State Gallery in Yuma, Arizona; the Tucson Museum of Art Biennial in Tucson, Arizona; the Muroff Kotler Fine Arts Gallery at SUNY-Ulster and many local venues. He has had his work published in American Photographer, Untitled: The Journal of the Friends of Photography, American Photographer and Photographers’ Forum.

The Elting Library is located at 93 Main Street in New Paltz. Visit www.eltinglibrary.org for hours. Admission is free.

ho knows why we chose the movies that we go to see? Positive reviews? Good buzz?

An enticing trailer? If I had an answer to that question, I’d be a rich man, the king of Hollywood.

But I’m a one-off movie reviewer this week, and out of all the movies available to me, I chose American Ultra over a couple of other films that had garnered better reviews, gotten better buzz and earned lots more money.

I thought I saw a potential sleeper in this second feature by director Nima Nourizadeh. The storyline belongs to what might best be called a classic Hollywood subgenre: the story of a nobody who turns out to be a somebody – even a supersomebody.

The tragic version of this sort of film is The Manchurian Candidate, in which an emotional cripple played by Lawrence Harvey becomes a national hero whose secret brainwashing threatens the

Republic. A sterling example of the comic version of the brainwashed killing machine is director Renny Harlin’s (and writer Shane Black’s) all-but-forgotten The Long Kiss Goodnight, in which Geena Davis’ sweet-as-pie suburban Mom discovers that she’s a stone-cold killing machine. The more recent and seemingly endless stream of superhero movies – think Peter Parker – are about someone who, by some accident or someone else’s design, discovers him- or herself to have powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men (or women).

American Ultra’s ambitions lie much closer to the witty action-thriller pleasures of The Last Kiss Goodnight than to the paranoid delights of The Manchurian Candidate’s Cold War satire. Jesse Eisenberg plays Mike Howell, a supernerdy stoner who works at a convenience store on the edge of Nowheresville, a setting so dismal-looking that I thought the film was an early-’80s period piece until I caught sight of a cell phone. Mike’s

in love with Phoebe (Kristen Stewart) and wants only to marry her and, you know, smoke a lot of weed and write the Great American Graphic Novel. Y’know?

This sweet-tempered boy/man is startled one night by a visit from a tightly wound woman (Nashville’s Connie Britton) who effectively “activates” the killer inside him. Mike is soon demonstrating his assassin’s programmed-in abilities on other trained killers unleashed by a smirking CIA honcho named Yates (Topher Grace).

The movie’s linchpin is Eisenberg, who brings an endearing sweetness to the role of Mike. A lost soul to begin with, he’s forced to wonder if he even has a soul; “Maybe I’m a robot,” he sadly concludes at one point. Max Landis’ script wisely allows Mike to be Mike, so that even when he’s killing gun-toting baddies with a spoon, he remains the dopey, confused stoner that he ever was.

There’s not much else good to report about the script, nor Nima Nourizadeh’s

direction. Both make the fatal mistake of introducing potentially interesting characters who are then treated as nothing much more than cannon fodder for some poorly staged shootouts, including one in a police station that begs unfair comparison to the indelibly tense cop-shop shootout in Terminator.

Stewart barely registers as Mike’s stringy-haired girlfriend. TV stalwarts Britton and Walton Goggins (Justified) are wasted in roles that robots could just as easily have performed. Grace is so predictable as the evil CIA bureaucrat that he’s in danger of becoming typecast. Only John Leguizamo brings some welcome unpredictability to his role as Mike’s raving-mad dealer.

The movie’s penultimate line is “What’s funny?” The answer provides an appreciative giggle. But directing that same question to the movie itself prompts a different answer: not enough to qualify as the action/comedy it could have been.

Iza Trapani reads from Old King Cole in Saugerties How many Iza Trapani children’s books have you read to your kids over the years? I love her rhymes and illustrations, and her latest release, Old King Cole, is definitely one to add to the collection! She makes the text flow so easily, but look at this first draft compared to the final copy:

“Welcome all to the Cole Castle Ball!/Hear my fiddlers play us a tune./We’ll frolic and dance in the grand royal hall/On this fine and festive afternoon.” after many drafts, became this: “Welcome all to the King Cole Ball,”/Said the king to the guests within./”We’ll romp and we’ll dance in the royal hall./Let the tunes and the fun begin.”

Iza Trapani will read and share about the making of Old King Cole at the Inquiring Mind Bookstore at 65 Partition Street in Saugerties on Saturday, September 12 at 3 p.m.; and on Sunday, September 20 at 4 p.m. at Inquiring Minds at 6 Church Street in New Paltz.

ALMANAC WEEKLY

September 10, 2015 he or she finally gets rid of it. The joys of ownership are amply counterbalanced by the headaches of maintenance. The same might be said of aficionados of British-made automobiles – which, for all their funky cachet, popular association with spies and so on, have a bit of a reputation for being mechanically temperamental.

Part of this reputation, especially in the US, derives from the unreliable products of a company called Lucas Industries that long dominated the market for electrical components for British cars.

Over time the company’s founder, Joseph Lucas, acquired the sobriquet “Prince of Darkness” among American drivers, who claimed that they had to perform arcane rites to placate his spirit and ensure that their English-brand vehicles would start and continue to run.

And that is the explanation for the mystifying slogan that will be seen on teeshirts around Woodstock this weekend: “Peace, Love & Lucas.” It’s an in-joke for long-suffering British-car-owners who will be gathering from far and wide at the Woodstock Playhouse for the seventh annual Woodstock British Car Show.

Hey, no one ever said that true love was rational.

Past shows have drawn vintage British cars from across the Eastern Seaboard, including MG, Triumph, Austin-Healey Jaguar and Morgan sportscars from the 1930s through the ‘80s, as well as luxury Bentleys and Rolls-Royces, sporting Rileys and ACs and even Morris Minor Traveller woodie wagons. More than 100 beautiful classic and modern cars will be on display from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. this Sunday, September 13 on the lawn of the Playhouse, located at 103 Mill Hill Road.

Admission and parking are free for viewers; registration fees for exhibitors benefit the not-for-profit Playhouse.

The rain date for this event is Sunday, September 20. For more info, visit www. woodstockbritishcarshow.com.

Looking forward to looking back Susan Stessin-Cohn launches New Paltz Historical Society and hopes to memorialize unmarked graves at former Ulster County Poorhouse with Trina Greene sculpture

he study of history is an exercise in discovery, or it’s nothing at all, says Susan Stessin-Cohn. She speaks from experience. Stessin-Cohn’s investigation into some musty old ledgers some 15 years ago culminated in a discovery whose ramifications continue to echo across the centuries.

Stessin-Cohn knew that Ulster County once built and maintained a poorhouse for indigent citizens. Throwing the poor, the mad and the sick into the county home was about as far as Ulster, or any other county in the state, would go for people with nowhere else to turn. The building stood until the late 1970s out on the outskirts of New Paltz, on Libertyville Road.

What Stessin-Cohn discovered those years ago was that the homeless and sick were treated no better in death than they were in life. At least 2,100 forgotten souls were unceremoniously buried for decades in scattered, unmarked graves across the property.

If you’ve ever visited the Ulster County Fairgrounds, you may tread on the graves of men, women and children whose bodies were often not even afforded coffins, their remains dumped in graves so shallow that their bones sometimes became visible decades later in the grounds’ underbrush.

The poorhouse and its forgotten victims have never left Stessin-Cohn’s awareness.

She lobbied back then for county dollars to create a memorial, an effort that enjoyed only modest success. More recently,

county officials have approached her in hopes of creating a worthier memorial.

History may be Stessin-Cohn’s passion, but acting on the discoveries that her research has uncovered is an equal passion – which is why she’s involved in two projects just now: the creation of a New Paltz Historical Society and a new memorial for what Stessin-Cohn has called “the most tragic place in the county.”

Stessin-Cohn (pictured to the left in photo by Jeremiah Horrigan), who has had a long career as a teacher and a teacher of teachers, has had the idea of establishing a town historical society for some time, she said last week. Her appointment a year ago as one of the New Paltz town historians cemented

that desire, and with the enthusiastic cooperation of the Town Board, she’s getting ready to launch the idea – to make it happen – next month.

Lest anyone think that the Huguenot Historical Society completely covers New Paltz, historically speaking, Stessin-Cohn has a ready answer: “There’s all kinds of history: Dutch history, slave history, Native American history, you name it,” she said.

And it’s not that she – or the society of history spelunkers that she hopes to attract – will have to look far for historical riches: The town has long been in possession of 19 boxes of historical records dating back to 1667. Stessin-Cohn’s eyes light up at the mention of the boxes – “ten cubic feet of them,” she said.

She’s “obsessed” by a variety of historyflavored practices: She has created dozens of historical quilts. Every morning, she transcribes a single day’s entry from Julia Lawrence Hasbrouck’s voluminous mid18th-century diary onto an eponymous blog (see https://frommypenandpower. wordpress.com/). She describes it as a way of getting “in the zone” with her research: a condition that you’ll hear other passionate people – actors, athletes – describe as both necessary to their work and the joyous reason why they do it in the first place. History, she said, “is about being there within them; that’s the whole point of doing history.”

She said that the value of history for her can be summarized in the term “sankofa”: a word in the Akan language of Ghana

COURTESY OF ULSTER COUNTY PLANNING DEPARTMENT & INFORMATION SERVICES

The area that was the site of the Ulster County Poorhouse (demolished in 1985) and its associated cemetery (still there, though mostly unmarked) is now home to the County Fairgrounds and Public Pool.

that is symbolized by the image of a bird

“It is not wrong to go back for that which you have forgotten.” with its head turned backwards. The word is translated to mean, “It is not wrong to go back for that which you have forgotten.”

If she at times appears to be a onewoman dynamo (“I don’t sleep a lot,” she explains), Stessin-Cohn insists that the discovery and investigation of history are not a solo project. So with the creation of a townwide historical society, she’s looking for history buffs, experts and beginners of every stripe to join her as she puzzles out the evidence of the past. “And you know another thing about history? It’s not just about the past,” she said.

That brings her to the her other current project: a renewed public effort to remember those thousands of forgotten people at the fairgrounds site – an effort that she said will draw on contemporary information to demonstrate the multiple uses of historical knowledge.

In a reversal of the way in which she first lobbied county officials 15 years ago to memorialize the county poorhouse, county officials came to her with the idea to upgrade the dilapidated remnants of what the county provided back when.

Stessin-Cohn has already arranged to have local sculptor Trina Greene begin work on a statue commemorating the forgotten ones. The county is committed to providing $15,000 toward the effort; Stessin-Cohn expects to launch a crowdfunding effort to raise at least

September 10, 2015 another $20,000. The memorial will include a kiosk not only detailing the historical abuses of the poorhouse, but also bringing contemporary issues of poverty and health care into the picture as well.

In that way, visitors to the fairgrounds will have a chance to experience something more than the thrills of the midway.

They’ll have a chance to experience for themselves the meaning of sankofa.

They’ll be able to go back to a shocking history that may be more resonant than they would ever have imagined.

Hurley roosters to be auctioned for Heritage Society All the towns are doing it these days: cats in Catskill, carousel horses in Saugerties, tugboats in Esopus, leaping trout in Phoenicia and so on.

Unadorned identical templates of

some local icon are distributed to artists in the community, who then turn them into uniquely decorated sculptures to be exhibited on streets, sidewalks and storefronts for the summer tourist season. Then they are collected to be auctioned off for some charity or other.

Now the Town of Hurley has gotten into the act. As a fundraiser for the Hurley Heritage Society’s Capital Improvements Fund, 22 local artists have created their interpretations of the historic Colonial rooster, now on display in Hurley and surrounding communities. The roosters can be seen at 39 and 53 Main Street in Hurley, at the Museum and the library and the Hurley Corner Store. In West Hurley, four more roosters are roosting in the library, the Blue Mountain Bistro, the West Hurley Service Station and CraftsPeople. The Stone Ridge Liquor Store and Rage in Uptown Kingston are hosting roosters as well.

This errant flock will be regathered on Thursday, September 24 at 7 p.m. at the Hurley Reformed Church Hall, when the Hurley Heritage Society will present a free lecture on the history of the original Hurley rooster.

Then, on Sunday, September 27 at 4 p.m., the same venue will host the main event: the Something to Crow About Rooster Auction, with George Cole serving as auctioneer. Catered appetizers will be served. Tickets cost $20 at the door, $15

NOTICE HOW THERE’S ONLY A FEW BRIGHT STARS, many more medium ones and, since the Moon’s absent right now, an absolute wonderland of faint stars, scattered across the firmament with a grand carelessness that elates the spirit.

NIGHT SKY

Grand week in the heavens Time for faint treasures

T

he early Greeks first thought of the idea, and it was simple enough: They called the brightest stars “first magnitude,” the second-brightest “second magnitude” and so on. The faintest stars were sixth; you could only see them on moonless nights.

When modern methods evolved, and we could measure star brightnesses accurately, it was decided to keep the old system, expanding it to accommodate the fainter objects visible telescopically. Ever since, the magnitude limit has kept plunging downward.

Each magnitude represents stars two-and-a-half times fainter than the one before.

Things got impressive immediately, for there are always many more faint stars than bright ones.

You can see it for yourself, the first clear night. Notice how there’s only a few bright stars, many more medium ones and, since the Moon’s absent right now, an absolute wonderland of faint stars, scattered across the firmament with a grand carelessness that elates the spirit.

Let your eyes get accustomed to the darkness, and check out the detailed dark blotches in front of the Milky Way. In excellent skies, these enormous black nebulae made of tiny carbon grains, which stretch for thousands of light-years, are the most splendidly detailed sky feature. They’re your rewards for living here instead of, say, Paramus.

But why stop at sixth magnitude? Your binoculars carry you further, showing how the hierarchy continues below the threshold of the naked eye, taking you down to Magnitude 8. Where one star shone before, now you see ten, and it’s not wrong to say that ordinary binoculars reveals ten times more of the universe than the naked eye alone. This is the realm that Galileo penetrated in 1610, when he revealed the Milky Way’s glow to be nothing but “a coteries of stars.”

A good amateur telescope can detect 12th-magnitude stars, while the famous Palomar telescope could visually resolve down to the 20th magnitude. With modern electronic amplification, we can photograph Magnitude 26.

The faintness of such objects is hard to imagine. Compared with the night’s brightest stars, a 26th-magnitude star is dimmer to the same degree that the Sun is brighter.

Even that analogy fails, since photochemical changes in our eyes “stop down” the true brightness of sunlight, so that our subjective perceptions of sun- and starlight do not provide a true sensation of their comparative brightness. Stars appear much brighter to us than they really are, compared with daylight.

With all this as a background, we can begin to grasp the meaning of the fact that a super-long 100-hour exposure on the Hubble Space Telescope has revealed the faintest galaxies yet. Allowing such a dim and distant object to materialize has broken a record.

We’ve reached the 30th magnitude.

Such dimness is hard to imagine. It is equal to glow of a cigarette on the Moon, as seen from your backyard.

– Bob Berman

ake your picks from the descriptor grab-bag: Honey, Gold, Drop, Sun, Bunch et cetera. Now put a couple of them together and you might end up with a luscious-sounding name for a tomato variety. People have done this, and reeled me right in. This year I got fished into planting a few new (for me) varieties of cherry tomato.

Sungold is the gold standard of cherry tomatoes, the one I always grow. Its rich aroma underlies a sweetness livened with just the right amount of tang. One problem with Sungold is that it’s an F-1 hybrid, which means that you can’t save

Sungold is an F-1 hybrid, which means that you can’t save the seed and expect the resulting seedlings’ fruits to have the flavor of Sungold. the seed and expect the resulting seedlings’ fruits to have the flavor of Sungold. The flavor might be better, but it’s more likely to be not as good. The other problem with Sungold is that the seeds, which must be purchased, are expensive.

The first of this year’s lineup was the variety Solid Gold, a yellow teardropshaped tomato. Like Sungold, it’s an F-1 hybrid. Perhaps it would offer better or different – but also excellent – eating. It has been billed as having “outstanding flavor of true grape tomatoes” (by those selling the seeds). Grape tomatoes are tiny tomatoes, a different species from other tomatoes, with very good, very sweet flavor.

Honeybunch, the second in the lineup, is another F-1 hybrid, this one red and teardrop-shaped. “As if a pearl tomato had been drizzled with honey,” so they say.

The flavor of another variety, Honey Drop, was likened to that of honeydew melon. This one’s a Sungold lookalike and is open-pollinated, so seedlings should generally yield the same fruits as the parent.

All three of these new varieties have borne early, and their stems have been heavy all season long with beautiful golden or red fruits. One reason their stems are so laden with fruits is because we don’t pick them – not when we also have Sungold tomatoes to munch on.

Solid Gold, Honey Bunch, Honey Drop and the unnamed variety are all very good tomatoes, but why eat a very good tomato when you can eat the best tomato?

ple who plant filberts, and especially permaculturalists, plant American filberts (Corylus americana). This species is resistant to Eastern filbert blight, a fungal disease endemic in these parts. I once grew American filberts, and they are beautiful in fall when their leaves turn blazing shades of red. Unfortunately, their nuts are small, with bad flavor: a good wildlife food, a poor human food.

European filberts (C. avellana), and various hybrids, are what yield the large and tasty nuts of commerce. Orchards of these filberts are mostly found in the Pacific Northwest. About 50 years ago, Eastern filbert blight made inroads to those orchards, which prompted breeding programs for blight-resistant varieties.

I’ve planted a number of blightresistant filbert varieties, including some older varieties bred decades ago in the East. As it turns out, though, the blight fungus exists in more than one regional strain; like some other fungi, the blight fungus might also morph over time.

Join me as I walk my row of filberts and note the performance of the various varieties. Four of the plants are only in their second year and are from the New Jersey breeding program of Tom Molnar, at Rutgers. The hope is that they’ll be more blight-resistant than the Westernbred varieties.

The worst of the older plants include the varieties Clark, Eta and Hall’s Giant.

Clark and Eta are Western-bred, while Hall’s Giant is an older, Eastern-bred variety that is bearing a moderate number of good-sized nuts in spite of the blight.

Santiam, from the West, is afflicted with a moderate amount of blight. The nuts that it bears are small, but still much larger and tastier than native American filberts.

Least blight-infected are the Western varieties Lewis and Yamhill, the Italian variety Tonda di Giffoni and Graham, an older Eastern variety. Thus far, my

favorite is probably Graham, a hybrid of American and European filberts bred

by Samuel H. Graham of Ithaca, New York, and introduced in 1950. It yields the largest nuts of the lot and shows its American parentage in its wide, suckering growth habit and the fiery red of its leaves in autumn.

As they say in ads: “Your results may vary.” The above are my experiences.

Filbert blight, like any disease, only thrives with suitable environment, a susceptible host and presence of pathogen. My farmden fulfills all three conditions, with varying host-plant susceptibility. But I only am growing one plant of each variety; slightly different conditions might affect susceptibility of individual plants.

Now, about my cherry tomato experiences: Tomato flavor varies little with climate or growing conditions, so your results probably would not vary from mine – except, of course, that it’s surely a matter of taste when it comes to taste.

Plant sales at SUNY-Ulster and Catskill Native Nursery Fall is an ideal time for planting, and the master gardeners of Cornell Cooperative Extension of Ulster County have the plants. They will be hosting a plant sale on September 19 at the SUNY-Ulster campus in Stone Ridge. For more information, contact Dona Crawford at (845) 340-3990, extension 335, e-mail dm282@cornell.edu or go to http://ulster.cce. cornell.edu. Catskill Native Nursery (www.catskillnativenursery.com) in Kerhonkson is also having a sale – its end-of-season sale – until the end of October.

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. DIANA’S FANCY FLEA MARKET: Nice Items Needed for Next Sale!
