Taste of New Paltz on Sunday at Ulster County Fairgrounds In summertime, the Hudson Valley is jam-packed with outdoor food, wine and (most recently) beer festivals. But it’s not until the heat breaks in midSeptember that one of the most venerable and best-attended of those comes around: Taste of New Paltz, returning this Sunday to the Ulster County Fairgrounds for its 26th annual outing.

September 15, 2016

Leaving the house can be a wild ride...

Imagine a smörgåsbord, a dim sum restaurant and a tapas bar all rolled into one heady late-summer afternoon, with live music and a fabulous view of the Shawangunk Ridge, and you’ll begin to get an idea of what the Taste is like. This event is the New Paltz Regional Chamber of Commerce’s major fundraiser of the year, and more than a quartercentury of experience at hosting it has taught a thing or two to both the organizers and the food and drink providers. Longgone are the days when late arrivals could find almost nothing left to sample; but it’s still the wisest policy to show up as early as practical to enjoy the best selection of tastes. Word gets around quickly here as to what are this year’s don’t-miss tidbits! The Taste is meant to showcase the outstanding culinary and beverage offerings from restaurants, bakeries,

EVENT

Catskill Animal Sanctuary Shindig in Saugerties To feature live music of Natalia Clavier from Thievery Corporation, food trucks, cooking demos and hayrides

he 15th annual Shindig at the Catskill Animal Sanctuary (CAS) will be held this Saturday, September 17 on the grounds of the 110-acre refuge for animals that have been rescued from cruelty, neglect and abandonment. As always, a slew of these animal friends will be on hand to be appropriately greeted. They are, after all, the reason for the Sanctuary’s existence. Since 2001, CAS has opened its doors to more than 4,000 of them in the past 15 years. Shindig promises to be a great day for human visitors, too, with live music from Natalia Clavier of Thievery Corporation, cooking demos, vendors, food trucks, guest speakers and hayrides planned. From 12 noon to 1 p.m., Dr. Milton Mills will speak on “Diet & Health: Transitioning from the ‘Standard American Diet’ to ‘Food that’s Good for the Body & Soul.’” In this presentation, Dr. Mills discusses the causes of major chronic diseases in Western countries and how a plant-based diet can help prevent, ameliorate and, in some cases, cure these ailments. Learn about how plant-based living improves longevity and quality of life in our later years. A panel discussion, “Using Film to Create a More Compassionate and Sustainable World,” starts at 1:15 p.m. with directors Mark Devries (Speciesism: The Movie) and Donny Moss (Blinders: The Truth behind the Tradition) and sustainability expert Demosthenes Maratos (Cowspiracy: The Sustainability Secret). Learn how film educates and inspires people to protect our planet and animals around the world. Watch selected clips as speakers share their motivation and insights around making or participating in these groundbreaking films. A question-and-answer session will follow. At 2:45 p.m., meet photographer Jo-Anne McArthur for a presentation, “We Animals: Stories of Love and Liberation.” McArthur shares stories about human relationships with animals around the globe, be it with the animals that we use as food and fashion, entertainment or research, as well as the animals that we revere, rescue and love. Difficult photos will be shared, but the emphasis of the presentation is on the amazing and joyful work taking place worldwide to help animals. At 4 p.m., “Street Action for Animals” is an in-depth look at the challenges that animal rights champions face in New York and how they achieved a few of their successes. Meet special guest speakers Rina Deych (Alliance to End Chicken Kaporos), Nora Marino (Animal Cruelty Exposure Fund), John Di Leonardo (PETA) and Jaime Lee (National Animal Rights Day), and learn what you can do for the cause. Kathy Stevens, CAS executive director and co-founder (with Jesse Moore), will complete the programming with “Why Your Choices Matter!” In the face of animal suffering, people still feel powerless and don’t know what they can do. Be inspired by Stevens’ presentation on the many ways that you can make a profound difference in the lives of our fellow beings. Offsite parking is available at Central Hudson at 2001 Ulster Avenue. Shuttles will bring visitors back and forth all day. Several free spots at the Sanctuary are designated for persons with disabilities with a hangtag, on a first-come basis. – Ann Hutton 15th annual Shindig, Saturday, September 17, 11 a.m.-6 p.m., member $10/$15, non-member $12/$20, kids $5, Catskill Animal Sanctuary, 316 Old Stage Road, Saugerties; (201) 956-3081, https://casanctuary.org/shindig.

It was Eleanor Roosevelt’s delight to invite people around for an outdoor repast – whether it was close friends and relatives or the British royal couple. The Roosevelts simply loved to serve their distinguished guests roasted hot dogs. Now, thanks to the National Park Service, along with support from the Muriel F. Siebert Foundation, locals can join in the fun. The firepit at Val-Kill has been restored, and just in time for the annual Val-Kill Picnic and Square Dance, to be held this Saturday from 1 to 5 p.m. Bring a blanket to spread out on the lawn and imagine that it’s 1939 again.

Explosions in the Sky headline Basilica Soundscape

asilica Hudson’s fifth annual Soundscape festival is, as one might imagine, a blurring of the sonic and visual arts set in the spectacular reclaimed industrial space of the Hudson mega-venue. Year’round, the venue specializes in music as matter: music of atmosphere, layers, texture and color, analogous to visual arts whether or not it is being coupled with them. Basilica is largely genre-agnostic; you will find Post-Minimalist serious music, drone, electronica and the more texturally adventurous rock music here throughout the seasons. The overstuffed music lineup for this year’s Soundscape is consistent with the Basilica brand up and down. The big-name headliner is Austin’s postrock superstars Explosions in the Sky. A ten-plus-year career has seen the band releasing album after album of elegant and explosive instrumental guitar rock indebted to Tortoise and to early Pink Floyd, as well as numerous soundtracks and an increasing move toward lessexplosive Minimalist soundscaping. Other standouts on the bill include the great Chicago-based Outsider singer/songwriter Angel Olsen, whose scintillating 2016 My Woman is her first departure from a noisy lo-fi aesthetic, but no less weird and piquant for it. The fascinating drums-and-lute duo

Basilica Soundscape goes down from Friday to Sunday, September 16 to 18, with the bulk of the music happening on Friday and Saturday nights.

Xylouris White are no strangers to the area, as veterans of the O+ Festival. Former Dirty Projector vocalist and multiinstrumentalist Deradoorian comes back to the region after her recent set opening for Television at BSP. As famous as Bowie in some worlds and utterly obscure in others, Genesis P. Orridge is noise- and occult-rock royalty, a founding member of both Throbbing Gristle and the considerably more popminded Psychic TV. He performs at Soundscape with the Toilet Brothers and second-gen Psychic TV drummer Edley O’Dowd. Basilica specializes in creating immersive and otherworldly environments.

Marlboro’s Falcon hosts Paul McCandless this Sunday

The indescribable-therefore-itmust-be-jazz quartet Oregon can righteously claim to be an originator of global fusion, New Age and so much more of the progressive acoustic music that followed its 1972 masterwork Music of Another Present Era. Unlike so much of the music that took its lead, Oregon could shift on a dime from soaring folk jazz melodicism to difficult free-form improvisation and textural experimentation with a global palette. The more user-friendly side of the group might be best-illustrated by a tune made famous by another group. The Paul Winter Consort’s signature tune “Icarus” was composed by Oregon’s guitarist and first-among-equals writer Ralph Towner. Its unforgettable melody and serene textures embody a pop- and folkleaning appeal that is present, but never quite so pure, in the music of the more adventurous and jazz-inclined Oregon. In this band’s level playing field, four voices have equal license and equal importance. Even so, the soaring singleand double-reed work of Paul McCandless – even more than the tablas and sitar of the late Colin Walcott – might be Oregon’s signature sound. McCandless also played with the Winter Consort and with ECM mainstay Eberhard Weber. He has led sessions for Elektra, Landslide and Windham Hill Records. Collaborating now with the fully electric San Francisco-based trio Charged Particles, acoustic jazz legend Paul McCandless visits the Falcon in Marlboro on Sunday, September 18 at 7 p.m. Cross another name off the dwindling list of jazz legends who have not played at Tony Falco’s gem of a venue. Per usual, there is no cover charge, but generous donation is encouraged. The Falcon is located at 1348 Route 9W in Marlboro. For more information, visit www.liveatthefalcon. com. – John Burdick

Quiet Village “antifestival” in New Paltz

“No Noise. No Beats. No Visuals. Pure Ambience.” Quiet Village is strict in aesthetic and pretty darn clear about what it is not. Conceived and coordinated by SUNY-New Paltz composer/educator/vocalist Bob Lukomski (pictured above) and presented in part by the venerable Poné Ensemble for New Music, the New Paltz “antifestival” will fill the field at Hasbrouck Park with sound on Saturday, September 17 from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.: a full day of serious ambient electronic music, environmental music and sound art. Visitors are encouraged to stroll through the bazaar of unpredictable sound or settle in at one station. Presenting artists include Lukomski himself as well as Okkoto, the handle of It’s Not Night; It’s Space drummer and modular synthesist Michael Lutomski. Saugerties-based Oneiromantix specialize in a haunting blend of pads, drones and disturbing fringe sounds and voices. They, like Syracuse composer Edward Ruchalski and Brooklyn’s Andrew Shapiro, may have to cherrypick their repertoire and methodology somewhat to comply with the no-beats ordinance. New York City composer David Melcionis, on the other hand, is good to go if his slab of fricative sound Rotten Ice (for Gretel Ehrlich) is any indication. Other performers bring their machines in from Catskill, New Jersey and Kerhonkson. Many of the artists, including Lukomski, are members of the Coterminous Collectiv, a loose group of electronic composers and performers in the Hudson Valley. Several performers have participated in Lukomski’s micro-venue Earwaker concert series. This will be one stroll through the park that you will not soon forget – if you are

Two years ago, a little-known Ukrainian-American pianist named Inesa Sinkevych made her area debut at a Saugerties Pro Musica concert. A local critic wrote of the recital, “It was one of the greatest piano recitals I’ve heard in a lifetime of concertgoing.” I was that critic, so I’m particularly excited to report that Sinkevych (pictured above) is returning to Saugerties Pro Musica on Sunday, September 19, this time in the company of cellist Rebecca Hartka. Saugerties Pro Musica, improbably beginning its 21st season, was founded two decades ago by the late Dr. Herman R. Ash as a modest attempt to bring classical music to Saugerties. Originally presenting mostly local performers to small audiences, the series has grown over the decades and now imports much of its talent from New York and Albany, although it still features annual appearances by musicians from Bard and West Point and the popular Poughkeepsie ensemble the Strawberry Hill Fiddlers. Most of the concerts are classical, but this

season the Strawberry Hill Fiddlers will offer their usual folk-music arrangements on January 22, and the jazz duo of Terry Blaine and Mark Shane will perform on April 30. Hartka, who has a doctorate in Music from Boston University, has toured widely around the US, Italy, Vietnam and Thailand. Among the exotic venues where she has played in the US is the Hampshire County Jail; she also plays in coffeehouses as well as concert halls. She has recorded two CDs: one of sonatas by Rachmaninov and Poulenc, the other a collection of folk-influenced concert music. Sinkevych now teaches at the Manhattan School of Music. Her only recording issued so far is a Schubert recital, but a DVD of her performing in Havana is also in the works. The two have performed together several times over the past season and are playing as an experienced duo. You can expect to see a big smile on Sinkevych’s face. When she last played at Saugerties Pro Musica, she heroically overcame the handicap of an unresponsive piano. Last season, the church that hosts the series had the piano extensively repaired, and it sounds vastly better now than when Sinkevych last played it. This should be one of those concerts that we remember for a long time. And you can’t beat Saugerties Pro Musica’s modest admission price! – Leslie Gerber Rebecca Hartka/Inesa Sinkevych recital, Sunday, September 18, 3 p.m., $12/$10, Saugerties United Methodist Church, Washington Avenue/Post Street, Saugerties; (845) 679-6733, www.saugertiespromusica.org.

Styx to play Civic Center in Poughkeepsie

Zepparella

MUSIC They began as one the handful of original American prog/rock bands, where Journey also began and where Kansas has always remained. As they peaked commercially, however, Styx became something harder to describe: a Dennis DeYoung-fronted peddler of oddly conceptual light rock, as likely to sound like Cetera-era Chicago as Yes or Genesis. The current touring lineup is legit, featuring core members James “J. Y.” Young and Tommy Shaw on guitars and bassist Chuck Panozzo, one-half of the original sibling rhythm section (drummer John Panozzo died in 1996). The band’s current bio describes a nonacrimonious separation from DeYoung, who penned and sang many of the band’s biggest hits but who also steered the sound away from its dramatic power-prog origins. If anything, the current Styx may be closer to the original spirit of the band than was the chart-topping version of the ‘80s. Styx performs at the Mid-Hudson Civic Center on Friday, September 23

Zepparella plays Bearsville

he tireless touring machine that is Zepparella makes another local stop on Friday, September 16. This time around, the all-female Led Zeppelin tribute band is scheduled to rock the Bearsville Theater into submission. One reason that Zepparella plays around here all the time is that they play around everywhere all the time, but the other is a local connection: In the Plant role we find the dynamo singer Noelle Doughty, who used to pack the mid-Hudson clubs of the ’90s with a very different kind of band: the psychedelic funk/dance/jam party band Funktional Loonacy. Lotus Revival – a band that features Doughty and guitarist/songwriter Brad King, another veteran of the ’90s mid-Hudson scene – will open the show at 9 p.m. General admission tickets for Zepparella cost $15 in advance, $20 at the door. Reserved balcony seating costs $25. For more information, visit www.bearsvilletheater.com. The Bearsville Theater is located at 291 Tinker Street in Woodstock. – John Burdick

at 8 p.m. Tickets cost $59.50, $69.50, $79.50, $99.50 and $195 (VIP Package). For tickets and more information, visit www.midhudsonciviccenter.org. The MidHudson Civic Center is located at 14 Civic Center Plaza in Poughkeepsie.

United to Prevent Gun Violence and dozens of other organizations including Family of Woodstock, the Kingston version of the event will be coproduced by songwriter, novelist and Kindie music artist Robert Burke Warren (known to many as Uncle Rock). The idea was suggested to Warren by his friend and occasional songwriting partner Roseanne Cash, who is organizing a synchronous show at the Beacon Theater in New York City. “She asked if I would put together a Hudson Valley version,” he says. “So I joined forces with Family of Woodstock and reached out to these amazing musicians. They’re all passionate about the issue. So here we are.” SHV founder John Rosenthal said, “In the midst of America’s epidemic of gun violence that results in 90 deaths, over 200 injuries and a mass shooting every day, this powerful coast-to-coast concert and organizing effort will raise awareness and – very importantly – get out the vote on gun violence prevention in the November elections and beyond.” The musical lineup requires little introduction to locals, but it does speak to the Hudson Valley’s emergent musical diversity. Power-pop icon Crenshaw’s local appearances are rare. Pierson, of B-52s fame, has performed local on several occasions with Kennedy and members of Minstrel as her band, as has Crenshaw. Mike + Ruthy, the progressive scions of Americana and folk royalty, are all-butsynonymous with the music of the midHudson Valley. Proceeds from the BSP event will go to Family of Woodstock’s 24-hour Crisis Hotline (firearms are currently the mostutilized method of suicide), services for youth and adolescents (1.7 million children and teens live in homes with unlocked, loaded guns) and efforts to prevent domestic violence (in an average month in the US, 51 women are shot to death by their intimate partners). “Family

of Woodstock is proud to be participating in the Concert across America to End Gun Violence,” says Tamara Cooper, Crisis Hotline program director. “The focus of this initiative is to bring awareness to our ability to reduce gun violence in our communities through education and prevention strategies such as gun locks.” The Concert across America: BSP Kingston, hosted by Family of Woodstock, will take place at 7 p.m. on Sunday, September 25 in the huge back room of BSP Kingston at 323 Wall Street. Tickets cost $20 in advance and $25 at the door, and can be purchased at www. bspkingston.com. – John Burdick

John Hall reads from his new memoir at Oblong in Rhinebeck

eople have, perhaps, certain ideas about entertainers – musicians, actors, models et cetera – that they are one-dimensional characters who know best how to do their one thing. When a notable star comes out to support a candidate, we are sometimes surprised at that person’s intellectual depth. When the star becomes the candidate and then the public servant, his or her capacity is pushed to the limits and exposed for all to witness. John Hall is not the only successful entertainer to make the temporary transition from stagelights to the political arena, but he is one who lived to tell the tale in a new memoir: Still the One: A Rock ‘n’ Roll Journey to Congress and Back. Born in 1948 into an intellectually inclined family, Hall grew up in a conversation about life that most of us would admire. Science and music and sociology and philosophy and spirituality were somewhat common subjects in his household. No wonder he felt free enough to pursue his avocation in rock ‘n’ roll at a time when major musicians were also addressing these same issues. For Hall, the challenges of the common people became ones that he felt compelled to address. He was elected to the Ulster County Legislature in 1989 and to the Saugerties Board of Education in 1991. Later he successfully threw his hat into the ring and won a seat as the US Representative for New York’s 19th Congressional District, serving from 2007 to 2011. His musical colleagues performed at fundraisers, making it possible for him to finance a winning campaign against an entrenched incumbent in a historically Republican district. I recently talked with Hall, who is happily out of public office now, and in between doing gigs with Orleans and setting up his book tour and hanging out with his family. Talk about the process of digging into your past to write this account. I wish I had journaled. I have staff members who I talked to from my congressional staff, and I checked things with them. And I have a pretty good memory. Certain things jumped out at me from my childhood and the early

days in the music business. I’ve told all these stories before, but after I got out of Congress, I’d tell friends a little piece of it, and they’d go, “Wow. You should write a book. The ordinary person never gets to hear that or see that. You should put it in a book.” This was several years ago. I really buckled down and got serious about the writing in the last two years. I wanted to get it done while it’s still close to being contemporary. When you decided to run for public office, did you hesitate at all, considering the rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle you once partook of? Of course. I also had hesitation in terms of my schedule and my time and my family: all the things that any potential candidate would worry about – “Can I raise enough money?” being one of the big ones. The first time I ran was on a local level in Saugerties. My ex-wife Johanna and were living there with our young daughter. The first case of my getting active – like, activist-active – was when the New York State Power Authority announced plans to build a nuclear plant on the Hudson River six miles north of Saugerties. I got involved with the Mid-Hudson Nuclear Opponents, and Orleans did a concert at the Bardavon, and we raised money to help pay the attorneys and do research and have expert witnesses testify at the hearings. We were able to stop that through our work and other people’s work – and partly because the reactor the state had contracted to buy was the identical reactor to the one at Three Mile Island. Once that one partially melted down, the whole thing went down the tubes, and the public was really upset at the fact that 150 million dollars of ratepayers’ money had been spent without a single permit having been given. It showed the arrogance of the government agency.

The next time I ran into a similar thing was with Ulster County’s dump and incinerator they had plans for building on the Winston Farm in Saugerties. I decided it was either it or me. I wasn’t going to move, and I didn’t want it to be there. I thought it would negatively affect future development and the character of the town. Virtually, the whole town stopped that from happening. Then I ran for School Board, which is a different experience because you don’t run as a member of a political party; you run as an individual. It’s kind of the purest form of democracy, in that you don’t get paid anything. You get up after a couple of bites of dinner and run down to the School District Administration Building to take part in a meeting that could go till midnight, then get home after everybody’s asleep. You’re giving up time with your family for absolutely no pay or benefits. No matter what you do, somebody’s gonna be mad at you. So it’s really a thankless job, and a very important job: something that I would encourage anybody interested in government, and especially education, to get involved with. Each time I was a reluctant candidate. When I ran for Congress in 2006, there were already four other candidates headed for the Democratic primary. I was hoping to find one I could support and help raise money for. I met each one of them, and I wound up thinking I would have a better chance to get elected – which I did. My first concern was: “Can I raise enough money to get elected?” If you can’t get your friends and family to donate money to your campaign and convince them you’re the right person for the job, you’ll never convince a stranger. Did your background in the music business equip you in any way to get involved in government? Did you ever have to prove your ability to think, to be allowed to operate as a politician and congressperson? Yes, I think I did have to prove that I was not just a tree-hugging guitar player. I was underestimated each time I ran for any office, and the other side – the Republican Party – was hoping they’d get me as an opponent. My Dad was a PhD in Electrical Engineering, and my Mom was a postgrad degree graduate and the first women in the United States to graduate from a Jesuit seminary. I’d like to say the apple fell between the two trees. My older brother was an actuary – a mathematical specialist – and my younger brother was

a priest. And I was a guy who wrote songs that a lot of people said were too preachy, about social issues and environmental issues, and obviously some love songs. I got a reputation as a guy who talked a lot about issues. I was always ready to debate and found gaps in my opponents’ knowledge that I found striking. I quickly convinced people I could do the job, and I actually worked harder; my four years in Congress were the hardest I’ve ever worked. And I really worked really hard on Broadway and touring with a band, and all that stuff. But nothing like the 13-houra-day, seven-days-a-week job that being a member of Congress becomes, if you’re conscientious about it. I like to think I helped my constituents and people around the country in general.

When you’re deeply enmeshed in policymaking and caucusing for your chosen issues, how do you deal with setbacks and disappointments? How do you keep from becoming cynical when so much is at stake now? I like to say I was trained in a business that was “purer than the driven snow and had nothing to do with money”: the music business. That’s a joke, of course. Rock ‘n’ roll was the first place the word “payola” was coined, when a deejay was caught taking payments to play records on the radio so they would become hits. Congress held a hearing on it and passed a law to stop it. So that’s the business I came up in, and I certainly got frustrated and cynical there. I was kinda prepared for politics – especially now after Citizens United, where money speaks in a big way. I think these billionaire or corporate

contributions should be eliminated from our campaign system. That won’t happen unless we elect a president who has the same philosophy and who can appoint justices to the Supreme Court who will uphold it and a Senate who will confirm those judges. Right now, in this election, that’s very important. Whatever else you think about the two candidates and the parties – some people think they’re all the same – I’m here to tell you they’re not all the same. One very definite difference is the Supreme Court, if you want to have any women’s reproductive rights; or an EPA that’s funded well enough to be able to carry out its duties to keep our water and air clean; and an FDA that will keep our food from all being genetically modified without our knowing it or from having contaminants coming in from China; or if you want to have better airplane security, which means regulations and personnel that costs money. This year, I’d say to people to make it a serious vote, not a protest vote, because we really have only two choices. We’d better pick the one that puts us on the road to reining in climate change and getting the big money out of politics and so on.

Bardavon hosts world premiere of new Mummenschanz show

he hilariously inventive, silent Swiss masked theater troupe Mummenschanz became a smash hit on Broadway in the late 1970s; and though the lineup of performers and pieces has changed, the group is still innovating, still delighting audiences. Mummenschanz has been to the Bardavon before, and must have liked it, because it just completed a three-week residency at the Poughkeepsie theater to workshop a brand-new production titled you & me. The show is about to head out on a world tour, but we get first crack at it: A special sneak preview of you & me will be performed by Mummenschanz on Thursday, September 22 at 7 p.m. on the Bardavon stage. Incredibly, tickets cost only $10 apiece! There will also be a special free preview for teachers and students at 4 p.m. on Tuesday, September 20, which is also open to the public. How can you pass this up? Tickets for Mummenschanz’s you & me can be purchased at the Bardavon 1869 Opera House box office at 35 Market Street in Poughkeepsie, (845) 473-2072; at the Ulster Performing Arts Center box office at 601 Broadway in Kingston, (845) 3396088; or via Ticketmaster at (800) 745-3000.

series. The next two weeks offer two outstanding features. On Monday, September 19, J. J. Clarke will be the featured poet. Clarke, a longtime teacher at SUNY-Ulster, mentored many younger poets. His annual readings were highlights of the Woodstock Poetry Society in its glory days and regularly drew full houses. Feeble health had kept Clarke from reading for years. But over the past three years he’s been making something of a comeback, slightly diminished in power but still roaring his glorious poetry in his bardic roar. The following Monday, September 26, the popular Elizabeth Gordon returns. Gordon crosses genres from traditionalbut-powerful poetry to slam, that genre of performance poetry that has created so much interest among younger writers. Despite being more than twice the age of

most contestants, Gordon (whose slam name is elizag) won First Prize in the prominent Urbana Slam in New York two years ago, and then placed in the national Women of the World slam finals. She has recently been trying out impressive new material dealing with current events in a non-polemical, poetic style. Bring your own work to these events if you like, and if you arrive early enough you can sign up to read in the open mic. An alert, though: These readings usually begin with four open-mic readers, but Clarke’s will begin the evening promptly at 8 p.m. – Leslie Gerber Harmony Poetry Night, J. J.

(Clockwise from upper right): James Taylor Odom, Denna Reilly, Brendan Burke and Mary McCann star in God of Carnage at Shadowland Stages in Ellenville

Act your age Yasmina Reza’s G od of Carnage at Shadowland

asmina Reza’s dark comedy/drama Le Dieu du carnage is a disturbing hit in any language: written in French, premiering in German in Zurich in 2006, translated into English by Christopher Hampton for the London stage in 2008 and tweaked for American audiences a year later (not to mention Slovenian, Croatian, Serbian, Romanian, Spanish and Arabic versions). The London run of God of Carnage soldiered on through an electrical blackout on opening night, going on to win the Olivier Award for Best New Play. The Broadway run ended up snagging three Tonys, including Best Play. Roman Polanski made it into a movie (just called Carnage) in 2011. It’s a formidable piece of work, and it’s now coming to a theater near you: Shadowland Stages, where it opens this Friday, September 16 and will run for three weekends. Set in Brooklyn, God of Carnage tells the story of two yuppie married couples who come together to try to defuse a dispute between their respective middleschool-aged sons that led to one knocking some of the other’s teeth out. Turns out that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree: Attempts by these bright, educated, upscale liberal parents to be reasonable and peaceable swiftly degenerate into the sort of petty, confrontational behavior that would get most kids sent into Time Out at the very least. Contemporary social tensions come into the narrative as well, as the argument veers into the minefields of misogyny, racial prejudice and homophobia. Sounds heavy, but the treatment is farcical. Shadowland Stages, the lovingly renovated Art Deco former vaudeville house in Ellenville, where every seat is a good one, prides itself on assembling highly professional casts for its productions – most of them Actors’ Equity Association members. God of Carnage is no exception, and it marks the return of Shadowland’s producing artistic director Brendan Burke to an acting role for the first time in quite a few years. He more often wears his directing hat,

but Sean Patrick Reilly takes over that responsibility this time around. Burke plays Michael, and the rest of the cast – all with stage, screen and television CVs a mile long – includes Mary McCann as Veronica, Denna Reilly as Annette and James Taylor Odom as Alan. Following its Ellenville premiere this Friday, curtain time for God of Carnage will be at 8 p.m. each Thursday, Friday and Saturday through October 2, with tickets priced at $39, and at 2 p.m. on Sundays for $34. One special 2 p.m. Saturday matinée on September 17 offers a reduced ticket price of $29. To reserve your seat, call the box office at (845) 647-5511 or visit www.shadowlandstages.org. Shadowland is located at 157 Canal Street in Ellenville. – Frances Marion Platt

MOVIE REVIEW

Throw some cold water on this

Sully features fine Hanks performance, dicey Eastwood spin

he weekend on which America marked the 15th anniversary of 9/11, which could have been an occasion of unrelieved grimness, must have seemed to Warner Brothers Pictures like the perfect opportunity to release a movie about planes in peril that can boast a happy ending and an uplifting message. Turns out that it’s a bit more complicated than that. First things first: Sully is not an animated sequel from Pixar about a big, lovable blue-furred monster. But it’s also not an uncomplicated feel-good movie about American rugged individualism and heroism under stress, either. Based on – or perhaps “inspired by” is a better descriptor – Highest Duty by Chesley Sullenberger and Jeffrey Zaslow, Captain Sullenberger’s memoir about the hair-raising events of January 15, 2009, Sully is also a political screed against government bureaucracy by director Clint Eastwood, playing rather fast and loose with the facts. Not once but thrice, Sully takes the viewer through Sullenberger’s nightmarish experience of having to bring his Airbus A320 loaded with passengers in for a water landing on the icy Hudson River, after an infelicitous encounter with a flock of Canada geese knocked out both of the jet’s engines upon takeoff. All well and good. The scenes reenacting the flight, the white-knuckled decisionmaking process, the near-crash and the swift, well-coordinated rescue operation are beautifully executed. Visual narrative, acting, cinematography and editing can scarcely be faulted here. But Eastwood has an axe to grind, and to generate artificial suspense in a movie where the audience already knows that not one of the 155 people aboard US Airways Flight 1549 is doomed to die that day, he portrays the National Transportation Safety Board as meanies. For some very vaguely articulated reason having something to do with insurance, the movie version’s NTSB investigators want to persecute Sully (Tom Hanks) and his co-pilot Jeff Skiles (Aaron Eckhart), not even letting them go home to see their families after the crash before subjecting them to a grueling “trial” for not

SUNY-New Paltz campus. Admission is free and open to all. You Don’t Know Me until You Know Me Another free event in the Fall Community Series begins at 7 p.m. on Thursday, November 17 at the Rosendale Theatre, co-sponsored by Wild Earth. In his one-man performance piece, You Don’t Know Me until You Know Me, Dr. Mykee Fowlin takes an audience on an experiential journey, having them reexamine core values that were taught to us from as early on as first grade, using humor, performance art, poetry, storytelling, psychology, theatrical monologues and stories of his own personal journey. “Mykee is brilliant. He has a PhD in Psychology, and his dissertation was this show,” Elise enthuses. “Onstage, he has about ten chairs. In each one he becomes a different person and talks from the perspective of that person… witnessing stories about empathy and connectivity with people and breaking assumptions that we carry around.” Following the performance, Dr. Fowlin will lead a question-and-answer session for all attendees. Middle school students are encouraged to attend with an adult, and to continue the discussion afterwards. Thrive grants What else is the Maya Gold Foundation up to? Plenty. It has just formed a Youth Advisory Board, all of whose members are aged 13 to 18. “We’re looking for the teens to guide us,” says Elise, about what gaps exist in their social and educational support systems and what measures work best to address them. Artistically inclined teens were mobilized by the Foundation and the Roost Co-op to create a sculpture by

repurposing discarded materials at the New Paltz Reuse Center on Clearwater Road. And the Foundation, true to its name, has recently announced the availability of small grants for youthrelated community projects. The quarterly application deadlines for Thrive Grants are easy to remember, coinciding with the solstices and equinoxes. A link to the online application form for can be found on the Foundation’s website at www.mayagoldfoundation.org, along with additional information about upcoming events and programs, plus ways to donate or volunteer. – Frances Marion Platt

Tom Hanks and Aaron Eckhart in Clint Eastwood's Sully. The ﬁlm is based on – or perhaps “inspired by” – Highest Duty by Chesley Sullenberger and Jeffrey Zaslow, Captain Sullenberger’s memoir about the hair-raising events of January 15, 2009, when he brought an Airbus A320 loaded with passengers in for a water landing on the icy Hudson River.

trying to bring the aircraft back to land at LaGuardia or Teterboro Airport instead. As related in Sullenberger’s memoir, the incident investigation was routine, took place months afterwards and did not involve any particular skepticism on the investigators’ parts about the flight officers’ accounts of what they did and why they did it. Captain Sullenberger himself, upon being consulted on Todd Komarnicki’s screenplay, insisted that the NTSB officials’ real names not be used, according to Hanks. The actor doesn’t quite come out and say that the script is a hatchet job, but Stephen Cass of The Guardian was far less diplomatic in his movie review, calling Sully “another right-wing attempt to delegitimize government – and in the process undermine the safety of millions who travel by air, train, road and boat.” Feature films dramatizing historical events exaggerate, telescope and otherwise massage the facts all the time for purposes of building a compelling narrative, Argo being another good recent example. It’s considered a forgivable variant of artistic license – and let’s face it: Even Shakespeare did it, to flatter the family pride of his Tudor and Stuart patrons. So I’m not about to advocate boycotting Sully just because it tars and feathers some real-life civil servants who did their jobs the way that they were supposed to, without malice or prejudice. But it does trouble me a bit to know that a certain portion of Eastwood’s intended audience will take his highly skewed version of what happened to these two fine upstanding pilots as gospel, and perhaps as factual confirmation of their preexisting political biases. By all means, go enjoy the movie, and especially the acting; it’s one of Hanks’s best-ever evocations of a decent, competent, hardworking man rattled by self-doubt. But go in there knowing that not all of what you’re seeing is true – and come out ready to discuss what really went down with folks who don’t know any better. It’ll be a public service in this election year. – Frances Marion Platt

its worldwide premiere on Thursday, September 15. Drawing from more than 100 hours of rare and unseen footage collected from fans, news outlets and national archives, as well as the Beatles’ private collection, Eight Days a Week includes 12 full and partial performances from the concerts. These have been elegantly recut and remastered in highdefinition and 5.1 surround-sound, and are the closest thing that an audience can get to experiencing the band play live during that brief magical interval between 1962 and 1966 when the Beatles were touring. Using studio chatter and outtakes, the film also delves into the inner workings of the group – how they made decisions, created their music and built a collective career together – as well as the effect that those years had on their personal and musical evolution. New interviews with Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, as well as a host of names with direct experience of the times, add detail and depth. Whichever side of the Hudson you call home, you have two opportunities to experience Opening Night of this much-anticipated movie, only five time zones behind its London premiere: at the Rosendale Theatre and at Upstate Films in Rhinebeck. And both local art houses have programmed special add-ons to make the one-night-only screenings even more enticing and special. Upstate Films is scheduled to show The Beatles: Eight Days a Week – The Touring Years at 8:15 p.m. on Thursday, September 15. The screening will be preceded by a live introduction from a Beatlemania expert: Jonathan Gould, the author of Can’t Buy Me Love: The Beatles, Britain and America.

FILM

UPSTATE FILMS SCREENS THE SEVENTH FIRE WITH DIRECTOR JACK RICCOBONO THIS FRIDAY

new documentary to be screened this Friday at Upstate Films in Rhinebeck, The Seventh Fire, tells the story of Native American gang members on the White Earth Ojibwe reservation in northern Minnesota. When gang leader Rob Brown is sentenced to prison for a fifth time, he must confront his role in bringing violent drug culture into his beloved community. As Rob reckons with his past, his 17-year-old protégé, Kevin, dreams of the future: becoming the most powerful and feared Native gangster on the reservation. Sounds like a dramatic narrative feature, but it’s real life: Director Jack Pettibone Riccobono and his crew became the first independent filmmakers crew to shoot within the Minnesota correctional system. Executive produced, by Terrence Malick and Natalie Portman, this timely and powerful film premiered at the Berlin Film Festival, was recently screened at the White House and has been named a “Critics’ Pick” by The New York Times. Riccobono himself, who used to be a projectionist at Upstate Films and spent a lot of time in Dutchess County as a kid, will be on hand to introduce the screening and discuss The Seventh Fire with the audience afterwards.

NIGHT SKY

Take yours straight up Exciting stuff at the zenith

et’s have fun. Here’s how the universe is easy and mind-stretching: Which is the easiest sky-direction to find? What’s the only direction you never have to think about? Answer: the zenith – straight up. When you look overhead, you peer through the least amount of the air between yourself and outer space. By day, this is the darkest-blue part of the sky. At night, it’s the least-obstructed. We’re bringing this up now because two cool items hover directly at the zenith – which is actually very unusual. For most people in the US, no bright star ever reaches its zenith. But at our latitude, there are three. In midwinter, the brilliant star Cappella reaches our zenith. And right now we see the other two. Quite remarkably, all three of these luminaries ascend to within four degrees of the precise overhead point. Since most people cannot distinguish the exact zenith and will consider an object displaced as much as ten degrees from it to be directly overhead, we really score bingos in that department. Time matters. Things in the sky move so rapidly that in a mere hour, a star at the zenith will have fully shifted 15 degrees away from it. And yes, only stars reach the zenith. From nowhere in the continental US or Canada does the Moon or Sun or any planet ever get straight up. These nights, the first brilliant overhead star is Vega. It’s directly overhead as darkness falls. Between 7:30 and 8 p.m. it hovers within four degrees of the zenith. You can’t miss it; just crane your neck and that blue overhead star is Vega. Here are three cool facts about it. First, be sure to say VEE-ga and not VAY-ga. This star was originally WEE-ga, as my late poet friend Janine Pommy Vega liked to point out; the name means a falling eagle or vulture. Our second fact is that Vega, a fairly nearby star at only 25 light-years, is incredibly fast-spinning. Though three times the Sun’s diameter, it whirls around in less than a day, with its equator zooming at 140 miles a second. And guess what? Its pole

For most people in the US, no bright star ever reaches its zenith. But at our latitude, there are three.

The Unison Arts Center will host Barbara Threecrow, intuitive healer, trans-medium, spiritual counselor and teacher of Earth ways, who will guide participants in the ancient tradition of shamanic trance using 500-year-old Peruvian whistling vessels, bones, drums, rattles and the hypnotic rhythms of chants. The event will take place on Saturday, September 24 from 6 to 9 p.m. According to Threecrow, she will guide people through the ancient ritual using clay vessels that are finely tuned, combining sound frequencies that unlock sensory modalities not commonly known outside of shamanic knowledge. During ceremonies, she writes, the vessels create a combination of two sound waves of equal frequency that vibrate in various parts of the body, producing heightened awareness, euphoria and alignment of body, mind and spirit. Bring a handheld drum and rattle, a blanket and pillow to join the ceremony. Threecrow will open the evening with guidelines for the use of the various tools to be played during the event.

of rotation points in our direction. We are its North Star. In 12,000 years it will return the favor and become our North Star. Exactly two hours later – meaning between 9:30 and 10 p.m. – a different star stands straight overhead. It’s not as bright, but just as unmistakable. And interestingly enough, it too hovers within four degrees of the zenith. This is Deneb. It may be my favorite star in all the heavens (although I’ll probably name a different star on another occasion). Deneb marks the straight-ahead direction as Earth and our Sun whirl around the center of our galaxy. We will arrive at Deneb’s current position one million years from now – although Deneb will no longer be there, since it’s moving forward in the same direction. Even more remarkably, Deneb is probably the farthest of all the naked-eye stars. No one is completely sure, but it seems to lie 3,000 light years away, and maybe even a bit more than that. For it to appear as bright as it does makes it the most luminous of all naked-eye stars. If it were located where Vega sits, it would shine with nearly the brilliance of the Full Moon. So during this Full Moon weekend, when only the brightest stars poke through the lunar glare, have some fun looking straight up at nightfall, and maybe again two hours later. If you want to catch both stars at one sitting – well, when Vega is highest, between 7:30 and 8 p.m., you can easily identify Deneb, since it will then be the secondhighest bright star. Cool astronomy made easy. – Bob Berman Want to know more? To read Bob’s previous “Night Sky” columns, visit our Almanac Weekly website at HudsonValleyAlmanacWeekly.com.

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

Going unbuggy 2016 was a remarkably light season for insect pests in mid -Hudson gardens

“Z

ucchini bread is for people who don’t have compost piles.” That’s what I told Deb after she suggested first ratatouille, and then zucchini bread, as vehicles for our excess zucchini. Most years I make an early, too-large planting of zucchini (about six plants), and then, six to eight weeks later, make another sowing of only a couple of plants. The first planting puts enough zucchinis into the freezer for winter, as well as leaving enough for eating. The second planting is to yield an occasional zucchini for fresh eating through summer after plants of that initial planting have succumbed to squash vine borer, cucumber beetles, bacterial wilt and any of the other maladies that usually do in the plants a few weeks after they begin bearing – usually and thankfully do in the plants. But not this year. Almost every time I check that early planting of zucchini, a new fruit has swelled at the end of a vine now trailing

beyond its bed beneath stalks of popcorn in an adjacent bed. I feel no obligation to eat zucchini, whether in zucchini bread, ratatouille or any other concoction. In all my decades of gardening, I’ve never experienced a season with so few insect pests. A few Japanese beetles reared their ugly heads back in July; they were the only ones who showed up, except for an occasional straggler. Likewise for bean beetles. Eggplants hosted the few requisite flea beetles, but never enough for concern. (I did spray a few times with horticultural oil; judging from other gardeners’ flea-beetleless experiences this year, I doubt that the effect was from the oil.) Cabbageworms, always requiring some late-summer action on my part in the past in the form of one or two sprays of the biological insecticide Bacillus thuringiensis, have let me occupy that time with other things. Spotted-wing drosophila, known

In all my decades of gardening, I’ve never experienced a season with so few insect pests.

Lee's ripe Italian Sweet red peppers

non-affectionately as SWD, showed up, as usual, in sufficient numbers in early August to warrant a spray of spinosad, an extract from a naturally occurring bacterium found in the soil of a defunct rum factory in the Virgin Islands. That one spray, along with some experimental traps from Cornell, was sufficient to keep the buggers from using my blueberries as nurseries in which to raise their young. As is so often the case with complex systems, in this case involving the vagaries of this season’s weather, the biology and the chemical and physical makeup of the soil, interactions between garden plants as well as between garden plants and weeds, timing of plantings…what I’m trying to say is that I have no idea why the year was so auspicious, as far as insects. That was insects. Diseases are another story. Don’t look at my tomato plants. The tomato plants started the season neatly and decoratively trained as single stems up bamboo poles, soon clothing those poles in lush green leaves and red or orange tomatoes. Now? Stems are pretty much bare from ground level up a couple of feet, with some shriveled brown remnants of leaves dangling downwards.

LEE REICH | ALMANAC WEEKLY

The disease is not fusarium or verticillium, to which so many modern tomato varieties are touted for being resistant. The affliction is leaf spot disease, which is actually one or more of three diseases: early blight, septoria leaf spot and/or late blight. The worst of the three is late blight, which makes us gardeners and farmers especially nervous after a severe outbreak ravaged a large swath of the Northeast a few years ago. Air currents and humidity have not been favorable this year for late blight to hitchhike up from the South, where it overwinters, and any that might have reached here couldn’t get footholds with this season’s hot, dry weather. Thorough cleanup of old leaves and stems – which house early blight and septoria leaf spot through the winter – and planting tomatoes where they haven’t been planted for the previous two years were supposed to keep these diseases in check. Perhaps they did, but not enough. I have two vegetable gardens, and next year I’ll plant tomatoes in the one that housed no tomatoes for the past couple of years, putting more distance between overwintering disease spores and my plants. Cleanup and distance should also quell one other disease, anthracnose, responsible for sunken, rotting areas that develop on some of the fruits. Diseases notwithstanding, plenty of glass jars filled either with sparklingred canned tomatoes and dull-red dried tomatoes line shelves to bring some essence of summer into my home through the dark months ahead. Tomatoes may be the essence of summer for their ubiquity in gardens; for me, though, ripe red peppers more represent a summery flavor. My peppers rarely experience insect or disease problems. The challenge, this far north, is ripe red peppers in abundance. My favorite variety for flavor, earliness and productivity, especially this far north, is Italian Sweet. I put in many plants this past spring, and the harvest is prolific. Unfortunately, dried or frozen peppers offer only wan hints of the fresh peppers’ summery flavor and texture. – Lee Reich Any gardening questions?

NYSSMA kids can audition for Bard Community Orchestra Barely a year after the cutting-edge private college launched its The Orchestra Now (TON) graduate degree program with a mind toward preserving and reinventing the institutions of orchestral music, Bard continues to put theory into action with the announcement that the Bard College Orchestra will expand to include the entire local community, welcoming players of orchestral instruments of all ages from high school up. The Bard College Community Orchestra currently has three programs planned for the year, with music to include Grieg’s Peer Gynt, Charles Ives’s The Unanswered Question and Max Bruch’s Double Concerto in E-minor for clarinet and viola with faculty soloists Laura Flax and Marka Gustavsson. There will also be an opportunity Since

1978

September 15, 2016 to collaborate with students from the Bard College Conservatory’s Graduate Vocal Arts program, in a staged opera performance. The annual Concerto Competition offers the opportunity to audition to perform a solo with the orchestra. Concerts will be performed at the Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts and at other venues around the Bard campus. Bard students, faculty and staff, local high school players and community members of level 5 New York State School Music Association (NYSSMA) standard and up are all welcome to audition. Membership is free and by informal audition. For additional information, send an e-mail to Greg Armbruster at garmbrus@bard.edu. Bard College is located in Annandale-on-Hudson.

TMI Project to honor Eve Ensler at BSP in Kingston What do you do when Eve Ensler comes to town? You rent the biggest venue you can find and put the word out. The word is that the TMI Project’s first annual “Voices in Action Award” will be presented to Ensler at the Community Outreach Showcase of 2016, to be held at Backstage Studio Productions on Saturday, September 17. The event will include readings performed by participants of the various workshops offered through the TMI Project’s Community Outreach Initiative this past year. The lineup will include women from workshops at the Bottomless Closet, a New York City-based organization that helps women move beyond domestic violence, drug abuse, homelessness, incarceration and poverty; adults from a workshop at the Mental Health Association of Ulster County; and at-risk teens from a workshop at the Hudson Valley Pathways Academy (P-Tech) High School. It’s a transformational formula that Ensler tapped into, and has inspired others to do so, too. As creator of The Vagina Monologues and founder of V-Day and One Billion Rising, she has helped awaken a sense of individual and collective empowerment in women. Indeed, TMI’s co-founder and executive director Eva Tenuto credits her own experience of producing The Vagina Monologues for the idea of TMI: “too much information.” After the show, a VIP reception with Ensler, the TMI Project staff and the performers will include a champagne toast and dessert. Proceeds from the evening support the Community Outreach Initiative. – Ann Hutton TMI: Community Outreach Showcase, Saturday, September 17, 7:30 p.m., $25/$40/$75/$100, Backstage Studio Productions, 323 Wall Street, Kingston; www.tmiproject.org.

Someone once told me that life is about ﬁnding yourself. After many years of life and many years in business, I no longer believe that is true. I think every life starts out as a blank canvas and it is up to you to create the portrait. I am reminded of the words of Bessie Anderson Stanley: “He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much; who has enjoyed the trust… and the respect of intelligent men and the love of little children…who has ﬁlled his niche and accomplished his task… who has left the world better than he found it…who has always looked for the best in others and given them the best he had.” How much more can we ask of life? Maybe a great home to Wi nM or ris live it in? on

PRAYER TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN. (Never known to fail.) Oh, most faithful 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 Mary, 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 thank-you for all things as you confirm once again that I never want to be separated from you in eternal glory. Thank-you for your mercy towards me and mine. The person must say this prayer 3 consecutive days. After 3 days, the request will be granted. This prayer must be published after the favor is granted.
