ART Eye of the needle Margie Greve’s art pays homage to the sewing machine

argie Greve’s show of paintings and woodblock prints at New World Home Cooking depicts famous rock and blues musicians, Kaaterskill Falls, the beach at Montauk viewed down a set of cascading stairs and women at work over sewing machines: an eclecticism that touches on the many phases of her work. Hanging in the bar are her portraits of Keith Richards, Pete Townshend, Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf and other musicians, which appeared in Crossroads: How the Blues Shaped Rock ’n’ Roll, a book authored by her husband, John Milward, published in 2013. They are mainly done in acrylic (the originals used in the book were made digitally), but they have Greve’s signature look of woodblock prints and demonstrate her ability to simplify forms into a few bold, curving lines and beautiful shapes while conveying a distinctive likeness. The three large landscapes, which are handpainted in an appealing palette of pale earthtones, are tours de force of the expressive power of the jagged black-line patterns of the printed woodblock, which flatten the landscape vista and substitute the sense of space for a jazzy rhythm. But most interesting – to this viewer, at least – are the pieces related to sewing, which Greve has been working on since her recent retirement from the home sewing industry. The show contains a couple of examples of her acrylic paintings of sewing machines, which are made on old patterns and instruction sheets collaged onto the surface and sometimes incorporate pieces of fabric. A patternmaker at Vogue Patterns for many years, Greve knows the machine well – she once took apart her Singer sewing machine to see how it fit together and was made – which is portrayed not so much as a material device but as a dynamic force, its struts, spool of thread and hand wheel poised for action. Like the Cubists, Greve portrays her subject from varying perspectives, and each depiction is loaded with personality, transforming the sewing machine into a creative avatar. “Painting sewing machines is never dull, given that it’s like drawing the people who use them,” said Greve, who learned to sew from her grandmother at age 7 and was given her first Singer sewing machine upon high school graduation. “Some look like evil bugs, while others resemble birds flying away.”

Margie Greve’s The Dressmaker

Greve is also fascinated by the women who work in the sewing industry, which is by turns liberating (manufacture of the home sewing machine enabled workingand middle-class women to make fabulous clothes that elevated their status) and oppressive (terrible conditions and low pay that continue in today’s sweatshops). One piece depicts three women at work around the pattern table. Two other paintings show a woman hunched over a machine, with a key difference: The Dressmaker – the standout piece is clearly visible in the main restaurant space on the left-hand-side wall when you walk in – depicts a woman in a kerchief sewing a piece of clothing on her machine, illuminated by a lamp. Her shirt is embroidered with a series of actual tiny pink-thread stitches and the image is colored, signaling her status over the more commonplace Seamstress, which is the title of the second piece, depicting a women in loose flowing hair conveyed in plain acrylic black paint. “The seamstress looks like she’s working in a factory and dreaming of something else,” Greve said. Greve said that she still has trim, notions and fabric that belonged to her grandmother and is incorporating the material, along with her old patterns, into her art; other source material are the photographs she took of dressmakers and other people in the industry. Like her musician portraits, the sewing images commemorate a vanished world: “I would buy a pattern, which came in this paper envelope with the instructions. It was like buying a record album, with the record in the paper sleeve. You opened this paper package and discovered a whole world in there. It’s kind of over, but it’s still special to me: the dreams and things you could make from it. I’m commemorating and processing it.” – Lynn Woods

Joan Snyder’s Proserpina, 2013. Oil, acrylic, paper mache, poppies, rice paper, dirt, charcoal on linen, 48 x 120 inches

A visit with Joan Snyder MacArthur Fellowship-winner’s works on view at Woodstock’s Elena Zang Gallery

orn in Highland Park, New Jersey in 1940, Joan Snyder became famous in the early 1970s for her paintings of strokes – marks, sometimes arranged in stacks, often bearing a cascade of drips – and large canvases incorporating moody, darkly expressive grids whose physicality was expressed not just in passages of roughly brushed paint, but also incised welts made of thread, fabric, chickenwire, papier-mâché, mattress batting and clusters of plastic grapes. Her work has always laid bare the structure, down to the elemental bone, built up and scraped down, yet also incorporated a symphonic richness. Snyder was a key figure in the emerging feminist art movement of the 1970s, yet her work transcended any timely agenda, instead revolving around the universal themes of love, death, sex and motherhood. (The exception was the collaged works incorporating images of starving children and incarcerated women, made in the late 1980s.) She oscillated between abstraction and representation, painting dark, moody, large-scale landscapes that injected narrative elements into their thickly textured fields; glass beads, wooden spools and balls, marbles, twigs and other materials were encrusted on some of her surfaces. In the 1990s, her palette lightened and sunflowers, roses, fruit and other vegetative imagery entered her work. The round floral motif also suggesting breasts, ponds, suns and planets, infusing her pieces with totemic meaning. Roses and sunflowers appear in her latest show at the Elena Zang Gallery, titled “Works Large and Small.” As inventive and prolific as ever, Snyder incorporates seedpods, twigs, mud, Chinese herbs and pulped paper into her paintings: a method that infuses her work with a raw intensity. Pink rosettes, fashioned from papier-mâché, emerge from the flat surface of one of her canvases, whose pale, whitish ground is also incised with jagged lines, as if it had brushed against thorns. In another work, White Earth, the roses are lightly painted

across the surface, like a faded pattern of an old tea towel, which in contrast is fisted up and distressed, almost sculptural: The surface of paint-encrusted burlap, broken china, brown, brittle herbs and dried rosebuds suggests turmoil, decay and a tough, physical resistance. Snyder is clearly in top form in this show of large fieldlike paintings, smallbut-astonishingly-monumental works and prints, which incorporate woodcut, lithograph and etching; the artist is as adventurous in her use of various media as she is of materials. Much celebrated – the artist received a MacArthur Fellowship in 2007 and is the subject of several books – she spends six months of the year with her partner, Margaret Cammer, in Woodstock and the rest of the time in a carriagehouse in Brooklyn. The exhibition at Elena Zang is on display until October 5. Proserpina, consisting of two large panels, is a particularly powerful work, with words reading stone, earth, heat, fields drawn like ancient graffiti among a series of floating dark cloudlike forms, which shift to white and pink on the right-hand panel. Almanac Weekly’s Lynn Woods spoke last week with the artist. Is it a diptych? How did you make it? It’s not a diptych. I put two panels together and it becomes a field. It incorporates actual poppy pods, rice paper, mud and other materials, which give it a dimension.

“The moment my mother became unnervous was when I was in Time magazine.”

What inspired the work? It refers to a song written by Kate McGarrigle just before she died, called Proserpina, which was based on my painting, Myth of Persephone. It refers to the myth of Persephone, who gets taken away to Hades before her mother, Demeter, threatens to turn the fields into stones and take away all the food and water. A deal is struck and she gets her daughter back half of the year. Kate’s daughter Martha Wainwright sings it, and it’s a beautiful, intense song. I painted this after another painting I did based on a Kate McGarrigle song, entitled Tell My Sister. It refers to a

Joan Snyder’s White Earth, 2013. Oil, acrylic, rosebuds, clay, berries, broken china, herbs on panel, 30 x 30 inches

narrator who is telling her sister to tell her mother that she’s coming home alone after splitting up with her husband and having a miscarriage. Martha and I became good friends, and she bought that painting. I made Proserpina in 2012. Do you paint to music? Yes, my work is always informed by music, and/or it gives me license in a certain way to be free. The structure of Proserpina evolved. I probably knew I was going to spell out the words and put them from the song in there. The drips make it seem as if the painting were weeping. The mother was pretty upset. It also has a graphic quality about it. The dark clouds consist of rice paper painted with mud. I know how to take one step after another step, but [the entire process is] mysterious to me. How do you begin? I think about a painting for months and months before I do it. I make sketches with pencil and pen in a notebook. It’s not like it happens totally spontaneously. It’s not as if I walk right into a blank canvas. I figure a lot out before I do it – although when I do it, it can change. In my sketches I talk about the materials, structure, size of the canvas and make lists of materials. I have my palette of materials ready. That’s how they all happen, except for the little

works, which are one-off spontaneous. So you work out the scheme in small sketches first, sometimes over a period of months or even years. The element you can’t forget is the magic that happens once I start. Because I’ve had so many years of work, I put myself on automatic pilot. I know so much about the paint, I don’t need to look at the notes. They get me there, the idea and structure and study. Break in Two My Heart, a large painting on the adjacent wall, is very different, in that it has a gridlike structure. There’s such a contrast between the dark, luminous, atmospheric rectangles and the thick, gestural strokes, which are like musical notations. It’s very much like a musical staff. I play the recorder, and one day I saw Break into My Heart So Needy, a Bach composition for the recorder. I took the music and copied it onto rice paper and collaged it into the painting. It appears in both German and English. In the white middle is the broken heart made of ripped pink silk. It looks almost black, like a pulsing organ. You use a lot of pink, which often has a raw, almost violent quality. Pink happens. Where there’s enough white around it’s a different kind of red.

a community. I started the women’s artists series at Douglass College [in New Brunswick, where Snyder got her BA] in the 1970s, which was the first place that sponsored shows by women artists. The students had never had a female art instructor in school. How much progress have we made since then? It’s definitely gotten better, but there’s still a glass ceiling. Seventy percent of art shows are by men. It’s still a white man’s world. Young women coming out of Yale did not want to call themselves feminists because they didn’t want to alienate the faculty. But you can be a feminist and an artist. Our lives are tough! Was it difficult to be an artist and a mother – a single mother at that, for eight of those years? I didn’t have my daughter until I was 39, and by then I had a career. I was living on a farm in Pennsylvania with my photographer husband, and I only made 12 to 15 paintings a year anyway. How long have you been coming up to Woodstock? Does the local landscape affect your work? Since 1987. When we lived in Willow, I was surrounded by ponds and pine trees and it was dark. My work was very affected by the landscape. That’s when I did huge narrative paintings, in the 1990s. Seven years ago we moved to a house with spectacular mountain views, and I’m not making ponds and pine trees any more. I’m not looking at the view when I’m working, but I live with it all the time. How did you connect with the Elena Zang Gallery? Elena Zang: Mary Frank introduced us. She was our first artist, and I only showed Mary’s work for three years. One day Mary said, “You should get another artist. Joan Snyder lives just down the road.” MAGGIE CAMMER

In the large print from your cherry tree series, the falling cherries in pink/red also appear to be levitating. How did that theme come about? I had done cherry trees for quite a few years, usually with a printer using a press. These I hand-rubbed, so they are more painterly. The subject has a very specific source: In 1992 I was driving to visit my father in a nursing home on Fort Hamilton Parkway in Brooklyn, which is one of the ugliest places in the world. I passed by a little house with a cherry tree in the front yard. It had cherries on it, falling off, on the ground rotting, and there were little flags on it to keep the birds away. I rang the bell and asked the woman if I could take pictures of it. My mother had just died, my father was 92 and I had a kid who was 6, so it was a metaphor of life and death. I began making cherry trees. This particular print morphs into other prints. I wanted to paint the block again, and they became a lot looser. When did you start painting? In 1962, when I was a senior in college. I was a Sociology major and took a painting course as a senior at Rutgers. I got very turned on by it, and discovered German Expressionism. I rented a studio on the river in New Brunswick, much to my mother’s dismay. I worked part-time teaching art to kids and went to my studio and painted. I had a really anxiety-ridden childhood, and I was speaking for the first time. I couldn’t say it in any other way. After a year or so I filled my car with paintings, drove up to the graduate program at Rutgers, knocked on the door of the chairman of the department and put eight paintings around his office. They said I could be a non-matriculated student for one year and after that they let me into the program. It was a fabulous group and wonderful experience. It took me eight years to make a good painting. I had never been to a museum. My parents were hardworking lower-middle-

class people who were second-generation Russian and German Jewish. The moment my mother became unnervous was when I was in Time magazine. You got famous just as the feminist movement was getting underway in the early 1970s. How did this affect your career? I was already showing work, but there was a real need to talk about female sensibility and the work women were doing. I was one of the founders of the women’s art movement and got very involved. It was one of the most exciting times in the art world. We had

Elena, how did you select the pieces in the show? I wanted to have different media, so I chose a mixture of paintings, prints and the paper-pulp works, of which there are three. I love her monoprints and find her process so interesting. The paper-pulp works have a totemic quality. The piece itself has a sculptural quality, and reminds me of painted hides from Native American cultures or some other type of so-called “primitive” handmade ritual object. How did you make them? I do these at the Brodsky Center at Rutgers University, where there’s a paper-

pulp expert. I give her my palette in advance, and she prepares vats of colored paper pulp. I wear boots and stand in big trays of water in which we have laid down the first layers of paper. After that I take colored pieces of paper, which is squirted from a bottle, and squirt it around. I put on little pieces of Chinese herbs, and for them to adhere, I have to squirt the color over it. Artists have come and made paper, but no one else has come and made paperpulp paintings. Paper pulp has informed my work in terms of everything. You’ve been producing work for 50 years, and the well never runs dry. What accounts for your continual fount of fresh inspiration? I don’t know. I feel the best when I’m in my studio. I love being there, and when I’m not in there, I’m more erratic and anxious. I seem to be in better shape. I don’t have a clue where this stuff comes from. – Lynn Woods “Joan Snyder: Works Large and Small,” on view until October 5, Elena Zang Gallery, 3671 Route 212, (Shady) Woodstock, (845) 679-5432; elenazang.com.

Chilewich at bluecashew in Rhinebeck What’s a Chilewich? Not something spicy to have for lunch, but it does have a lot to do with the kitchen. Hudson Valley-based textile designer Sandy Chilewich and her eponymous home furnishings company started out using outdoor furniture upholstery fabric in innovative ways for decorative interior applications like placemats, table runners, rugs and wall coverings, “breathing life into product categories that have grown tired from design neglect.” Now they’re taking kitchen chic a sustainable step further by replacing petroleum-based plasticizers in yarns with phthalate-free, renewable vegetable compounds. Check out Chilewich’s newest city/ country hybrid home designs using the TerraStrand fabric line, including inspirations for Thanksgiving, Hanukkah and Christmas decorating, at bluecashew Kitchen Pharmacy in Rhinebeck on Saturday, September 26 from 4 to 6 p.m. Sandy Chilewich will be on hand in person to talk about her creative processes and offer decorating tips.

MUSIC The classic rock iconoclast Joe Walsh to play Civic Center in Poughkeepsie

he James Gang’s debut, Yer’ Album, opens with a 40-second track called “Introduction,” in which we hear a slice of in-studio prattle among players and producer, followed by a count-in and about a half-minute of a swirling, dissonant string quartet, like random excerpts from two Mozart quartets in different keys played simultaneously. It also sounds a bit like the radically unpopular Second Viennese School composers Schoenberg and Webern – or least like a goof executed by someone who was familiar with them. Joe Walsh will perform at the Mid-Hudson Civic Center in Poughkeepsie on Friday, September 25 at 8 p.m.

out his career, the renowned blues/ rock guitarist and satiric songwriter with a big, messy soft side has betrayed hints that he would rather have been a 20 th-century composer. There’s his all-synth cover of Ravel’s “Pavane de la Belle au Bois” on the 1975 solo album So What? There’s also the protoprog and psychedelic chamberrock leanings in e v i d e n c e throughout the first three James Gang records, and especially on Walsh’s first unofficial solo album after breaking from the Kent State trio, 1972’s lovely and overlooked Barnstorm. And, throughout his 40 years of quirky wailing on a Les Paul, there’s Walsh’s curious attention to voice leading and impressionistic orchestration within his slabs of guitar and keyboard tracks: a classical concern within the riffage and a trait that he shares acutely with his friend and champion Pete Townshend.

Walsh probably joined the Eagles with the intention of hipping them up. Instead, they hipped him down a bit, and he has never fully regained his cred as one of classic rock’s subversive tricksters and Surrealists, except among those of us who remember and forgive. Truth be known, Walsh was never all that weird to begin with, never above a mawkish, Henleyesque sentiment, a white blues cliché or a bit of the yacht. If something consigned him to eccentricity, it was the reedy vibrato of his voice more than anything outlandishly oddball in his sensibility. Still, I am glad and fortunate that when I was a 12-year-old signing up for the Columbia Record club, taping my penny to the mail-in form and selecting my fist 12 records (the bounty before the indentured scam), two of those selections were Joe Walsh solo records. I already had the James Gang’s Greatest Hits double album, which is the essential document of an important American power trio. And while most people remember solo Walsh for the talk-box blues of “Rocky Mountain Way” or the withering sarcasm of “Life’s Been Good,” it was the artful arrangement and aspiring impressionism of those solo records that spoke to me. Joe Walsh welcomed a lot of currents into his music. He also stumbled the line between satirist and sentimentalist with a boozy grace that we would all do well to emulate. Still, I wonder: Was he the weirdest normal guy or the normalest weird guy?

Unison’s Sunday String Series presents Marka Young & James Bacon

CONCERT

AKIKO KAMIGAWARA & HIROKO SAKURAZAWA TO PERFORM IN WOODSTOCK

B Two local eminences of serious music, violinist Marka Young (pictured above) and guitarist James Bacon, team up at the Unison Arts & Learning Center in New Paltz on Sunday, September 20. The show is the second in the Sunday String Series at Unison, following the Hudson Valley String Quartet in August. The Amaranthus String Quartet is next in the series on October 25. Classical guitarist Yuri Liberzon visits Unison on November 8. After her New York solo recital debut at Weill Hall at Carnegie Hall, The New York Concert Review wrote that Marka

yrdcliffe’s Kleinert/James Center for the Arts presents classical violinist Akiko Kamigawara and pianist Hiroko Sakurazawa in performance on Saturday, September 26 at 8 p.m. Kamigawara was discovered playing Bach outside a drugstore by Woodstock Times & Almanac Weekly music critic Leslie Gerber. “It was a big surprise – startling, actually – to walk out of CVS on a Sunday afternoon and see someone playing unaccompanied Bach on a violin,” he wrote. “A moment’s listening surprised even further: This was a very good violinist, a high-class professional.” Sakurazawa studied piano with Mariko Yamamoto and Henriette Puig-Roget (from the Conservatory of Paris) at Kunitachi College of Music in Tokyo. She premiered his Piano Tree for Piano and Computer at the Merce Cunningham Dance Company New Music Series and the San Francisco Electronic Music Festival. In 2005 she gave the world-premiere performance of two unpublished piano works by Henry Cowell at the Bard Music Festival. Kamigawara and Sakurazawa’s program includes work by Francesco Maria Veracini, Franz Schubert, Gabriel Fauré, Toru Takemitsu and Sergei Prokofiev. Tickets are available at www.woodstockguild.org/akikohiroko.html, by phone at (845) 6792079 or at the door. The Kleinert/James Center for the Arts is located at 36 Tinker Street in Woodstock.

Young played “with a broad, majestic interpretation and a full-bodied sound.” A previous artist-in-residence at Banff, Young has performed as a soloist for the Bach Aria Festival, Blossom Festival, Connecticut Early Music Festival and the Storm King New Music Festival. Young is

currently the assistant concertmaster of the Hudson Valley Philharmonic, violinist with the Rebel Baroque Orchestra and the American Classical Orchestra and concertmaster of the Northern Dutchess Symphony Orchestra. Bacon studied under world-renowned

classical guitarists Benjamin Verdery and David Starobin. He has played throughout the Hudson Valley as a soloist and in a duo with flutist Sheila Hamilton and recently released his debut CD 100% Organic Bacon, applying nylon-string classical techniques to the steel string on pieces

WINGIN’ IT

Dutchess County Airport to host WDST’s inaugural Speed of Sound Festival

adio Woodstock’s Speed of Sound Festival celebrates the Album-oriented Adult Alternative format pioneer’s 35th year of broadcasting with a finely balanced lineup of national acts, local local acts and the increasingly common phenomenon of the local act gone national and the national act moved local. North Carolina’s strapping roots-rockers the Avett Brothers headline the Saturday, September 26 one-shot festival, which goes down on the tarmac at the Dutchess County Airport in Wappingers Falls. The lineup reflects WDST’s timehonored twin interests in roots/rock and in contemporary singer/songwriters of all stripes. The Chris Robinson Brotherhood finds the Black Crowes frontman venturing further into psychedelia and further into studio-constructed pop than the Black Crowes were ever likely to go. Amy Helm’s luminous and funky 2015 release Didn’t It Rain is one of the crowning achievements of the Woodstockarea A-list scene, featuring contributions from Larry Campbell, Marco Benevento, John Medeski, Jim Weider, Daniel Littleton and many more. And then there’s electric Hot f *&%ing Tuna; ’nuff said. Connor Kennedy and Minstrel – his road-seasoned ensemble of young players’ players – deal in a kind of multimode original roots/rock that is both reverent and forward-looking. Kennedy’s Woodstockcentric 2015 release Live at Utopia is proof positive of the band’s performance prowess. Other next-gen performers on the bill include the Woodstock songwriter Elijah Wolf, Buffalo Stack and New Paltz’s traveling hootenany Upstate Rubdown. Speed of Sound will feature local

ban white guys of the 1960s and ’70s who desperately wanted to be old black bluesmen. Of the first post-Lenny Bruce generation of hipster comics who wielded biting sociopolitical commentary to reduce their

audiences to helplessly giggling masses of jelly, only the late, great George Carlin shares the loftiest heights of acclaim with Klein. The “Child of the ’50s” has always put on a great show, and if you’ve never seen him live, you’re going to get a chance close to home this weekend. Scoring Klein as its headliner this year is a sure sign that, at the tender age of three, the Woodstock Comedy Festival (WCF) has already established itself as an annual humorfest of formidable drawing power in the cutthroat world of professional buffoonery. But Robert Klein’s keynote performance at the Bearsville Theater this Saturday night, September 19 – starting at 7:30 p.m. and with ticket prices ranging from $25 to $75 (order from www.bearsvilletheater. com) – is far from the only reason to bestir yourself and head to Woodstock anytime from September 18 to 20. For as little as ten bucks (with net profits of all ticket sales going to support domestic violence survivors through Family of Woodstock and fight human trafficking through the Polaris Project), you can catch a lively comedy-insider panel discussion on Saturday or a funny new movie or seven on Sunday. The Festival kicks off on Friday, September 18 at 8 p.m. with “Laughingstock! A Night of Stand-up and Improv Comedy” at the Kleinert-James Art Center. Hosted by Jo Firestone, the show will feature live stand-up from Robert Dean, Brendan Eyre, Megan Gailey, Jeffrey Joseph, Cynthia Kaplan, Audrey Rapoport and Shane Torres, as well as a set from Gregory Joseph, the runner-up of WCF’s inaugural “New Faces of Comedy” competition. Tickets to Laughingstock! cost $20 and are available at www.brownpapertickets.com/ event/2233803. On Saturday afternoon, panels at the Kleinert begin at 12:30 p.m. with a tribute

to Joan Rivers featuring Woodstock’s Hester Mundis, a longtime writer for Rivers, along with producer Ed Berenhaus and comedian Audrey Rapoport. Order tickets at www.brownpapertickets.com/ event/2233809. At 2 p.m., a panel on the subject of “Growing up Funny” features Patrick Carlin, brother of George, and Janna Ritz, daughter of Harry Ritz of the Ritz Brothers. Get tickets at www. brownpapertickets.com/event/2242451. The final panel at 3:30 p.m., with professional comedians Megan Gailey, Robert Dean and Shane Torres plus Helene Angley, Grand Prizewinner of WCF’s “New Faces of Comedy” competition, will offer insights into “The Life of a Stand-up.” Tickets are available at www. brownpapertickets.com/event/2245653, and cost $10 for each panel.

Site-speciﬁc performance at Bard heralds new partnership with Trisha Brown Dance Company

Hiring outside-the-mainstream celebrity faculty is a regular practice at Bard College, whose Dance Program has worked closely with the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company since 2009. Now the Annandale institution is taking on a partnership with another legend of the Downtown Manhattan dance scene: the Trisha Brown Dance Company (TBDC). Brown started out in the ’70s as a Postmodern maverick with the Judson Dance Theater, then went on to choreograph operas and compositions from J. S. Bach to John Cage, collaborate with the likes of Laurie Anderson and Robert Rauschenberg and win every cultural award imaginable. She was the first female choreographer to win a MacArthur “genius” fellowship, is a Commandeur in France’s Ordre des Arts et des Lettres and was awarded the National Medal of Arts in 2003, just to name a few. The director of Bard’s Dance Program Maria Simpson, says that Brown “represents (literally embodies) the liberal arts ideal: intellectual engagement; non-hierarchical, interdisciplinary involvement.” Trisha Brown retired as head of her Company in 2013, but Cori Olinghouse, choreographer, teacher and archive director for TBDC, will teach at Bard this fall. Beside undergraduate dance classes, the partnership will include curriculum development, collegewide forums, master classes, workshops, licensing of select works from Trisha Brown’s massive choreographic repertoire for performance by Bard dance students, an annual residency with the full Company and a variety of performances that will be open to the general public. The latter will begin this Friday afternoon, September 18 at 4:30 p.m. when TBDC visits the Bard campus for the latest iteration of its traveling series of site-specific performances known collectively as Trisha Brown: In Plain Site, “mining and recombining choreography from Brown’s vast repertory to explore the spatial demands of unexpected locations.” Admission is free, but reservations

Shadowland stages The Last Five Years Shadowland Theatre in Ellenville has opened its next big show of its big 2015 season this week: the popular musical The Last Five Years by Jason Robert Brown (Parade, Bridges of Madison County and Honeymoon in Vegas), starring Eddie Egan and Katie Reid, for a run through the month. The piece follows a five-year relationship between Cathy, a struggling actor, and Jamie, a novelist who’s a rising star. Cathy tells the story backwards from breakup to meeting, while Jamie tells it chronologically. The two characters only meet onstage once, at the wedding in the middle of the show. It’s a real crowdpleaser, and as talented a production as Shadowland has become known for. – Paul Smart The Last Five Years, through September 27, Thursdays-Saturdays, 8 p.m., Sundays, 2 p.m., $39, Shadowland Theatre, 157 Canal Street, Ellenville; (845) 6475511 or www.shadowlandtheatre.org.

Get your ham radio license in Kingston In these days when Steampunk, retro-techno and generally being a bacon-loving science geek are all the rage, it’s high time for ham radio operators to become trendy again. It’s also a cool way to contribute to public safety in a disaster situation without ever having to leave your comfy chair. When electricity, telephones, cell phones and the Internet are all down, amateur radio can still get the message through. Beginning on Tuesday, a free five-week course is being offered in Kingston by the Overlook Mountain Amateur Radio Club, designed to prepare you to pass the written exam for a Technician Class amateur radio license. Touted as “perfect for emergency responders, survivalists and anyone else who wants to be prepared for anything,” the Technician Class license gives you the privileges that you need to communicate in a disaster. It’s also the starting point for more advanced licenses.

James MacGregor Burns, who died last year at the age of 96, was one of the 20th century’s most influential American historians. In his writings, largely presidential biographies, he articulated a then-novel, dynamic view of leadership as a “transactional” and “transformational” process – “That people can be lifted into their better selves” – rather than an inherent character trait. As a young man Burns gained considerable trust and access to the Kennedy clan by helping JFK enhance his appeal to Protestant voters in his 1958 Senate race. He wrote several books on the Kennedys, but it was his 1971 FDR biography, Roosevelt: The Soldier of Freedom, that won him his

Start reading about apple lore and it becomes addictive. Most commonly grown in this country? Red Delicious, followed by Gala and then Golden Delicious. Number Four on the list, Granny Smith, opens up the whole business of where the apples got their names. The Granny Smith apple, it turns out, is named after Australian Maria Ann Sherwood Smith, who in 1868 cultivated a seedling with mysterious origins. By differing accounts, the seedling was either found growing on her property in the same place where she had tossed French crabapples, or she found the seedling on her compost pile. Either way, Smith died two years later, so that may have been the inspiration to memorialize her name with the tart new apple that she brought into the marketplace. Then there’s the personal-connectionto-greatness moment: The Esopus Spitzenburg? Thomas Jefferson’s favorite apple. The chance-moment-in-history event that changed the course of our apple-eating habits: The unusually harsh winter of 1933/34 that wiped out most of the Baldwin apple orchards in New England, sending what had been among the most popular of apples in the US into relative obscurity. And don’t even get started on the science of it all, the cloning and grafting that it takes to grow an apple variety or the disputes on which apple is best for baking, eating or making hard cider from. You get the idea. Best, perhaps, is to get away from Google and get out to the fourth annual Hudson Valley Apple Festival in pastoral Germantown, south of Hudson and north of Tivoli. The festival put on by the Germantown Lions Club

Potato farmer from nearby Puno, Peru

TASTE

Spud Lecture on potatoes in Peru at SUNY-New Paltz

uch of what we think we know about the potato – that it’s just a highcaloric starch without nutritive value, and that Ireland gave the world potatoes – is simply not true. The humble spud is full of nutrition; one medium-sized potato with the skin on has more potassium than a banana and 45 percent of the daily value for vitamin C. It has a significant amount of vitamin B6 and iron, along with a couple of grams of fiber. And that’s without any fat, sodium or cholesterol for just 110 calories. And that Irish thing? Well, turns out the potato was first domesticated in Peru. The potato is still so important to the Peruvian diet – and therefore its economy, environment, history and culture – that Dr. Linda Greenow, professor emerita of Geography and Latin American Studies at SUNY-New Paltz, has made it the focal point of her upcoming lecture, “The Potato and the Personal in Peru.” She’ll speak in the Coykendall Science Building auditorium at SUNY-New Paltz on Thursday, September 17 at 5 p.m. The lecture is free of charge to attend and open to the public. It will be followed by a reception with light refreshments in the lobby. Greenow began teaching at SUNY-New Paltz in 1985. She eventually served as Geography Department chair and has written extensively about the historical geography of Mexico and Peru. Retired since 2013, Greenow currently volunteers as a tutor for several local adult literacy programs. “The Potato and the Personal in Peru” will draw on her experience as a geographer. People in that field deal with questions involving the relationship between people and the environment, and that covers a huge range of topics, she says. “But one topic that’s interesting to almost everybody is food. When geographers get together at a conference, we’ll go out to some interesting restaurant with ethnic food and enjoy

eating it, but we’re also discussing, ‘Where do these ingredients come from?’ and ‘How did that country get those ingredients?’ and ‘What kind of international trade do you think is going on here?’” Potato cultivation in the Andes provides a fascinating microcosm of Peruvian and Andean civilization, Greenow says, and the potato is the focus of small farmer trade and marketplace interaction. She says that when she lived in Peru for two years some time ago, buying her groceries at the local market – similar to a farmers’ market here – it was an interesting experience with an entire social network. “When you get to know people, you build relationships, you find out what’s going on – and in that way you find out about the culture.” Most of the potatoes produced in the Andes are grown by small farmers producing for themselves. “They produce some extras that they sell or trade locally at these markets, but they don’t go into an international import/export system. There is some commercial agriculture on the coast where it’s warmer, but not very much.” Greenow says that people in the US look at potatoes very differently from people in Peru. “Potatoes got a bad rap and a bad rep in the United States,” she says. “Potatoes are not used to their best advantage in terms of nutrition in this country. When I was teaching and I would start talking about the potato as an important part of the diet in South America, my students would say, ‘No, that can’t be right. Potatoes are bad for you.’ I would tell them, ‘In countries where people are doing very hard physical labor, they need carbohydrates.’” And while potatoes are the main food for the household in the Peruvian countryside, says Greenow, their preparation methods differ from ours: no deep-frying or smothering the potato with butter and sour cream going on there. “They do a lot of boiling, and then use sauces with different combinations of chili peppers and herbs. Or when they’re out working in the potato fields, they’ll build a quick temporary oven and bake the potatoes on a fire. They also do a process that’s like freeze-drying, but it’s done at home. Fresh potatoes have a lot of water in them – when we harvest them, they’re still a living organism; that’s why they grow sprouts – but freeze-dried potatoes will last for many months.” Greenow’s lecture will be the ninth annual installment of the Dennis O’Keefe Memorial Lecture at the college. The yearly event honors the memory of Dennis O’Keefe, remembered fondly by many in the New Paltz community. He was a volunteer fireman in the village who graduated from the college in 1973 and was a longtime staff member of the Sojourner Truth Library on campus. (The Friends of the Sojourner Truth Library sponsor the lectures.) “Dennis was a wonderful man,” says Greenow. “He was so interested in so many things. He usually worked at the circulation desk, right by the front door, and when you walked in there, if he knew you, he’d say, ‘Hey, did you see this? Did you see that?’ He knew a lot about local history and had a huge postcard collection from the area. Dennis was just very friendly and willing to share his knowledge with other people. “When he passed away, everyone felt really bad, so somebody came up with the idea to start this annual lecture. A lot of people on campus now never knew him, but we try to get speakers who can talk about something that might have fallen in Dennis’s area of interest. But that was pretty much everything! There are probably a few things we can think of that he wouldn’t have been interested in, but I don’t know what they would be.” – Sharyn Flanagan

Jennie Bell Pie Festival in Kerhonkson

There’s no P in Gnome Chomsky, and although the world’s third-largest garden gnome who oversees Kelder’s Farm in Kerhonkson is 13 ½ feet tall, he doesn’t have much of an appetite, being made of concrete. If you show up too late to this Saturday’s 16th annual Jennie Bell Pie Festival, however, you might find that the rest of the crowd has chomped up all the delicious fruit pies that will be on sale! Named for Jennie DePuy Bell, a descendent of early Town of Rochester settlers and famed local baker who died in 2004 at the age of 89, the Festival features a pie-baking contest, children’s talent show, games and activities, food, crafts and other vendors. The Jennie Bell Pie Festival: A Common Ground Celebration runs from 12 noon to 6 p.m. on Saturday, September 19 at Kelder’s Farm, located at 5755 Route 209 in Kerhonkson. Sunday, September 20 is the rain date. Interested in competing? Pies need to be delivered on Friday evening between 4 and 6 p.m. or Saturday morning between 8 and 10 a.m. Volunteers are also needed.

2. Rained out British Car Show in Woodstock to be held this Sunday It is axiomatic that the two happiest days in a boat-owner’s life are the day he or she acquires a boat and the day 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:

Word Café, held on Thursday evenings at Outdated on Wall Street in Kingston, started the season off last week with a rousing selection of poems by Gerard Malanga. Readers and writers turned out en masse to listen and then do a writing exercise, which was reported by the workshop host, Nina Shengold, to have been “knockout” stuff. A great start to the season – one that runs through November 19 with local authors Nelly Reifler, Barbara Ungar and Stuart Bartow, Lisa A. Phillips, Owen P. King, Paul Russell, Mary Louise Wilson, Elisa Albert, Nicole Quinn, Jenny Milchman and Jeffrey Davis showing up to read from their works, talk about the craft of writing and interact with the audience. Check the Word Café website for more about each of these writers, including the focus of their upcoming talks. Nelly Reifler (pictured above) will

Newburgh Heritage Center hosts “Growing up in Newburgh” panel discussion this Sunday What’s it like to grow up in Newburgh, which many consider our region’s edgiest city? Many have been reconsidering what they once thought, along with their own memories, now that the Newburgh Historical Society has opened a community exhibit made up of more than 120 images captured from scrapbooks and photo albums culled from the 19th through the 20 th century, plus films and even toys. This Sunday, September 20, this shift in perception takes another tectonic move when a panel made up of Newburgh citizens and exhibit donors comes together to discuss their experiences through the images that they contributed, looking at what lasts in a community through memories and nostalgia. Given that this same Historical Society first came about in 1884, when what is now known as Washington’s Headquarters was threatened with demolition, and that ended up heralding similar moves around the nation, this latest move will likely have legs. Bravo! – Paul Smart “Growing up in Newburgh” panel discussion, Sunday, September 20, 2 p.m., $5, Newburgh Heritage Center, 123 Grand Street, Newburgh; (845) 561-2585, www. newburghhistoricalsociety.com.

A living portrait of chronic Lyme disease and its patients’ struggles for recognition and treatment, Suffering the Silence, originally Allie Cashel’s Senior Project, is now a full-length memoir that details Cashel’s own experience with chronic Lyme and shares the stories of a number of other patients from around the world. Introduced by Bard Literature professor Mary Caponegro (Class of ’78) and followed by a question-and-answer session, this event takes place at 7:30 p.m. in the Weis Cinema in the Bertelsmann Campus Center. It is free and open to the public; no tickets or reservations are required. Copies of Suffering the Silence will be available for sale and signing from Oblong Books & Music. Born in London and raised in Westchester County, Cashel was diagnosed with Lyme at age 7. Now a passionate advocate for increased awareness and

Cruisin’ around Saugerties this Saturday

In 2009, the Town of Saugerties got on the bandwagon of creating a townwide charity fundraising event in which artists decorate identical sculptural templates that commemorate some local icon or other. The finished artworks are displayed on the sidewalks, parks and storefronts all summer, then auctioned off for a good cause when autumn comes.

DION OGUST | ALMANAC WEEKLY

More than 100 British cars will be on display this Sunday, September 20 at the Woodstock Playhouse

Celebrating its connections with Horseshows in the Sun and the vintage carousel formerly housed downtown, the first two years of the art fundraiser featured “Hors’n around Saugerties.” Besides equine connections, Saugerties also can boast a splendid old lighthouse, so “Shine on Saugerties” brought wooden lighthouses to the streets in 2011. But why stick to the same theme every year? Nowadays Sawyer Motors, already known for its massive annual vintage car show downtown, has become a primary sponsor of the event. So this year’s street-art extravaganza, rechristened “Cruisin’ around Saugerties,” features a bumper crop of metal pedal-car bodies, customized every which way imaginable, from hotrods and emergency vehicles to a spaceship and a dragon. Bidding for the artworks – 38 in all – is being conducted online at www. auctionzip.com/auction-catalog / catalog_9KUK76BFDF, with minimum bids at $350 and a deadline of this Saturday evening, September 19. That’s when the Saugerties Performing Arts Festival, located at 169 Ulster Avenue, will host the actual auction as part of the Cruisin’ around Saugerties Gala. Though not quite on the scale of the Sawyer Motors Car Show that takes place every July, a Pre-Gala Car Show will be on display from 2 to 5 p.m. this Saturday. The actual Gala will begin with a wineand-appetizers reception from 5 to 6:30 p.m., and the auction will commence at

6:30. There will be live music during the Car Show and reception. Admission to the Gala costs $25, and auction proceeds will be divided among the participating artists, the Saugerties Chamber of Commerce and the Patriot Project Veterans’ Home. For more info about Cruisin’ around Saugerties, call (800) 957-0124 or visit www.hvcruise.com. – Frances Marion Platt Pictured above: Sawyer Savings’ “Low Rider” car, painted by Arnaldo Bermudes (AB Auto Body)

a personal dream of mine to honor my family, and the many lives that were lost, and to once again illuminate a beautiful synagogue for future generations,” said the artist in reference to the window. It commemorates the eastern Polish town of Lida – about the size of Rhinebeck – which the Nazis bombed to oblivion 74 years ago, along with a historic synagogue whose window the new work recreates. “When viewing the glow of color through these jewellike windows, the light sparkles and brightly illuminates the interior and touches the soul. The beauty of stained glass is that it is a living medium of dynamic color and is never static: a message that all of us are living, dynamic and never static as we continue to remember where we came from, to have respect for each other and where we go as we look to the future.” The tribute to Lida’s Main Synagogue window is a project that Cultraro has wanted to create for many years, given that her own mother, Bella Goldfischer,

GCCA in Catskill to host “Beyond the Bars” The new Greene County Council for the Arts exhibit “Beyond the Bars” celebrates all the reasons why this institution continues to thrive 40 years after its creation. Bringing together the visual arts, literature, filmmaking and music on a series of platforms that include radio dialogues, library and bookstore readings and a variety of educational venues, what has been gathered together explores “the powerful and transformative role of creative expression in the lives of incarcerated and formerly incarcerated people and their advocates,” and how the various arts can and do “alter the trajectory of one’s life to process anguish, fear and anger, and spark the seeds of change for future generations.”

Upcoming elements of this cooperative show – which includes a number of upcoming broadcasts on WGXC 90.7FM, the Kite’s Nest, the Catskill United Methodist Church, Citizens’ Garage, the Hudson Area Library, Freehold Art Exchange and others – include a September 26 opening reception at the Arts Council in Catskill, an October 1 SUNY-New Paltz screening of the film Prison Terminal and an October 17 dance performance by formerly incarcerated

dancer Andre Noel performing on an installation by Henrietta Mantooth, followed by a panel discussion about “The New Jim Crow.” – Paul Smart “Beyond the Bars” opening reception, Saturday, September 26, 5-7 p.m., through October, Greene County Council for the Arts, 398 Main Street, Catskill; www. greenearts.org/beyondthebars.

After that they survived as partisan fighters with the famous Bielski Brothers Brigade, recently memorialized in the Daniel Craig movie Defiance. It came to fruition after she found vintage postcards depicting the Lida Synagogue and its famous windows several years back. In addition to the memory window, Cultraro has worked with the theme of the 12 Lost Tribes of Israel, as suggested by the congregation’s rabbi, Hanoch Hecht.

MOVIE Stale trail mix Nolte & Redford canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t salvage a disappointing Walk in the Woods

hen Bill Brysonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s humorous memoir of his abortive attempt to through-hike the Appalachian Trail, A Walk in the Woods, came out in 1998, it was one of those books that nearly everybody you knew was reading and praising. It was short, funny and accessible, but also thoughtfully addressed some important issues about the relentless destruction of what remains of the Eastern wilderness â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not to mention quaint small-town and roadside Americana. Bryson is a fine, droll storyteller, and much of his written humor derives from encounters along the way (probably exaggerated for his yarn) with â&#x20AC;&#x153;colorfulâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; read: annoying, scary or ridiculous â&#x20AC;&#x201C; characters. The discomforts and downright dangers of rough hiking without adequate preparation are treated on the page with equal shares of rueful seriousness and a retrospective sense of the absurd. But the reader does get the sense that some lessons were learned on the AT, and the book is a serviceable primer on what not to do if you decide to undertake a comparable backwoods challenge. Ken Kwapisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; new movie version of A Walk in the Woods, alas, is played almost entirely for slapstick laughs, punctuated by the odd jaw-dropping vista now and then to fill what feels like a small-butobligatory quotient of reverence for the Great Outdoors. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an occasional visual juxtaposition of some industrial monstrosity, like a huge hydroelectric plant on the edge of nowhere, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unclear onscreen whether weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re supposed to take it as a serious indictment of unplanned development â&#x20AC;&#x201C; such as was quite clear in the book â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or merely a

historical travelogue of Tennessee Valley Authority sites. Robert Redford, who ably portrays Bryson, has a pretty solid track record of environmentalism, but whatever â&#x20AC;&#x153;messageâ&#x20AC;? might initially have attracted him to this project has gotten lost in the sauce of too many rewrites and changes of director. If the cinematography seems somewhat lackluster, considering the potential of the spectacular Georgia settings, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the final version of the screenplay by Rick Kerb and Bill Holderman that truly disappoints. A Walk in the Woods, which started out as a wry, humor-leavened meditation on the loss of wilderness, has been diluted to a one-dimensionally comic buddy movie about two aging, out-of-condition men who set out on one last big adventure together to find out what life is really all about before retirement. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a pity, because those two old guys are played by two true old pros: Nick Nolte as Katz, the overweight, grizzled apparent loser who was the raunchy travel buddy of Brysonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s younger days, is the best thing about the movie. He spins a vivid character from the flimsiest of threads,

and he and Redford bring all their acting chops to bear as their cranky, footsore characters spar, trying gamely to wring some sparkling dialogue out of tepid writing. But the humor feels forced and sometimes gimmicky, and the homespun Zen philosophizing about how far one must actually walk in order to claim to have hiked the AT doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t transcend the moralizing level of a Disney cartoon. The rest of the cast is similarly well-chosen but poorly used. Emma Thompsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s considerable talents go to waste as Brysonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife, written as a cardboard worrywart who nags him about the perils of his quest. A better fit, mainly because her part is smaller and her lines fewer, is Mary Steenburgen as the lonely, frazzled, stoic heir to a family motel business who is trying to run it all singlehandedly. She brings her trademark combo of twinkly/upbeat and wistful/ resigned to her brief scenes with Redford, sizing up Bryson as a potential partner and discarding any hopes of winning him in a deft facial expression or two. Also good in her few scenes is Kristen Schaal as Mary Ellen, the gonzo accidental hiking companion who drives Bryson and Katz mad with her nitpicking superiority before they manage to ditch her. Though Mary Ellenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s know-it-all pronouncements are often wrongheaded, the two old duffers do manage to bungle a lot of backpacking basics. Unfortunately the screenwriters seem not to have learned much on such subjects from the book (or from personal experience), as their treatment of the potential pitfalls of the trail is lamentably amateurish, sacrificing regrettable incidents that would be familiar to any semi-serious hiker in favor of cheap goofball scenarios. For instance, the duo have been on the trail for months before a bear mangles their food supply;

Is that being too nitpicky? Maybe. But it wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been nice if the transformation of A Walk in the Woods from page to screen had preserved the tongue-incheek, sadder-but-wiser tone of the original, rather than going for the lowestcommon-denominator belly laugh.

NATURE GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

Harvesting how-tos Corn and watermelon at their late-summer peak LEE REICH | ALMANAC WEEKLY

iven sun, heat and reasonably moist, fertile soil, watermelons are easy to grow. The greater challenge is in harvesting them at their peak of perfection. Even professionals sometimes fall short, as witnessed by not-quite-ripe watermelons that I “harvested” from a supermarket shelf and, a couple of weeks later, from a table at a local farmers’ market. That was while I was waiting for my own watermelons to ripen: the delectable variety Blacktail Mountain. But should I have been waiting? All sorts of indicators are touted for telling when a watermelon is ripe. The part of the melon lying on the ground supposedly turns yellow. The tendril opposite where the melon in question is attached dries up. Or my favorite method: thumping. Knock you knuckles on your forehead, your chest and your stomach. The sound of a ripe watermelon should match the sound of the chest thump.

The forehead sound indicates that the melon is underripe; the stomach thump, overripe. Sure, one could pull out the bells and whistles. As I wrote, even professionals have problems determining watermelon ripeness. Nuclear magnetic resonance, one possibility, was considered – at $60,000 to $1,000,000 – out of budget. Acoustic resonance testing ($950) was a more viable alternative, but still not for me, with my five plants. After my two disappointing purchases, my mouth was watering for my own melons. I ignored the question mark hovering in the air above the largest of the lot and, despite its lack of a dried tendril, a yellow bottom or a telltale thump, I cut it from the plant. Long story short: It was delicious – perhaps just a tad overripe. What about the other waiting melons? I’m just going to harvest them as needed and hope for the best. Update: I may have one more addition

to the imperfect list of watermelon ripeness indicator. It seems that ripe melons might develop a whitish, waxy “bloom” on their skins. Part of the watermelon problem is that I don’t grow enough watermelons. I once lived and gardened in southern Delaware, a few miles from one of the epicenters of watermelon production. With ideal climate and soil (sandy), I grew an abundance of large watermelons. Whether or not a single melon was picked underripe was not so critical. Once ripening began, any unripe ones could be relegated to the compost pile; a better one was always in the offing. Like watermelons, sweet corn is also easy to grow. It can get by with less heat than watermelon, but demands a more fertile soil. Harvesting sweet corn at its peak of perfection also can be a challenge, though not nearly the challenge of watermelon. Picked too soon, corn is tasteless and toothless; picked too late, and it’s too starchy and toothy: a delight for animals, excepting humans. The first hint as to when I get to pick corn is when tassels atop the stalks begin to shed pollen grains: millions per tassel! About three weeks later, I start peering into the corn bed to look at the silks spewing out the ends of each ear. Silks are more or less dry on a ripe ear. At that point, I can usually tell ripeness by just wrapping my hand around the ear to feel its fullness, although less-than-perfect pollination can drain the bulk of a ripe ear so that it feels underripe. (It’s hard to imagine less-than-perfect pollination when you consider that each tassel sheds literally millions of pollen grains; then again, each grain remains viable for only a few minutes; then again, again, it can travel hundreds of feet in that few minutes; then again, again, again, each kernel only develops if a pollen grain lands on and germinates on the single silk strand to which it is attached.) Any doubt about ripeness, and it can be confirmed before committing by peeling back the husk just enough to see some kernels. Their color and plumpness might be a giveaway. If not, a thumbnail pressed into a kernel should yield a milky fluid. Sweet corn, in contrast to watermelon, is easy to produce in quantity, even in a relatively small garden. So tasting an ear is no great sacrifice; there’s plenty more. Hybrid varieties of corn tend to ripen uniformly, so once one ear in a bed is ripe, the whole bed is likely also ready for harvest. A bed of a non-hybrid variety requires more frequent assessment and harvesting, which is better for home use where you might want a few ears each day or so, rather than a once-over harvest. With successive planting and selective harvesting, we’ve been enjoying sweet corn almost daily since the end of July. – Lee Reich

Tai Chi Chuan for beginners at Unison in New Paltz There will be a new Tai Chi Chuan class for beginners on Thursday evenings from 6 to 7 p.m. at the Unison Arts Center on Mountain Rest Road in New Paltz. The first class will take place on September 24. This class will provide step-by-step instruction in the Yang Style Long Form, supplemented with Qigong exercises. This is a 12-week series, but ongoing classes will be available for those who are interested in continuing beyond the 12 weeks. The cost is $10 per class for Unison members, $12 for non-members, with a $2-per-class discount if you sign up for the series. Preregistration is helpful but not required. Tai Chi Chuan is an ancient Chinese healing and martial art. Its slow and graceful movements promote health and restore harmony of mind, body and spirit. Students learn how to combine proper body alignment with breathing, relaxation and concentration in a way that increases the flow of vital energy, or Qi, inside the body. People of all ages and abilities can practice Tai Chi. Its many benefits include reduced back and arthritic pain, better balance and heart functioning, reduced stress, a stronger immune system and increased flexibility, strength and coordination. The instructor, Martha Cheo, has been practicing Tai Chi Chuan for 27 years. Cheo also teaches intermediate and advanced classes at Unison and other locations in New Paltz.

NIGHT SKY

Equinox and the Blood Moon

et ready for the headline sky event of 2015: Coming up next week is the Blood Moon – also called the MegaMoon. Or the Mega-Harvest Moon. Or the Hyper-Mega-Harvest Blood Moon. We could even label it a total lunar eclipse. It really is a rare event. Imagine: The Full Moon – the Harvest Moon, no less – goes into Earth’s shadow to create a total lunar eclipse at the same hour that it arrives at its closest to Earth of the entire year. And it happens at a convenient hour: just after 9 p.m. It deserves headlines. Where the hype comes in is, while astronomers dryly label a lunar close approach “perigee,” the media the past few years calls such a nearby Moon a “MegaMoon.” And if it happens on the same night that it’s full, then watch out: We have a Mega Full Moon. And when the Full Moon goes into Earth’s shadow, astronomers call it a total lunar eclipse. We typically see one every couple of years, although this is an unusual time in that we’ve had four in the past two years. The media have started referring to total lunar eclipses as “Blood Moons.” While a fully eclipsed Moon does turn a ruddy color, I suspect that the label derives from Bible passages such as Revelation 6:12: And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the Moon became as blood;

and the next. It’s on Sunday night, September 27. We’ll tell you what to look for and other juicy details and tidbits next week. But before we get to it, we’ve got the Autumnal Equinox this Wednesday, the 23rd. It’s at 4:21 a.m. You’ll go to sleep in summer and wake up in fall. You know the drill: Days and nights are equal. (Except they’re not: There are more minutes of sunshine than non-sun that day). The Sun rises and sets precisely due east and due west. Around here, sunrise and sunset are both at very nearly 7 p.m. And equinoxes are the only time when everyone on Earth – even those at each of the poles – see the sun shining. So it’s a happy feel-good kind of thing, even if it officially closes out our beloved summer season. So we’ll celebrate the Equinox and then, next week, get into the details of that total eclipse of the largest Full Moon of 2015, on the night of the Harvest Moon. Cool stuff. – Bob Berman

While astronomers dryly label a lunar close approach “perigee,” the media calls such a nearby Moon a “MegaMoon.” And if it happens on the same night that it’s full, then watch out: We have a Mega Full Moon.

…which kind of suggests that the end of the world is approaching. No matter that a fully eclipsed Moon actually turns coppery-red like a penny – more like orange – and not remotely red like blood. Anyone with blood the color of an eclipsed Moon should go to the emergency room. None of that matters. What’s important is that you’re going to hear about this event increasingly during the coming days, and it may sound like something scary or dangerous. MegaHarvest-Blood Moon. If this doesn’t get the coyotes howling, nothing will. It’s not dangerous, although we really can expect the year’s highest tides that day

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.

Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity. Oh, Star of the Sea, help me and show me herein you are my mother. Oh, Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth! I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in this necessity. There are none that can withstand your power. Oh, show me herein you are my mother. Oh Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee (3x). Holy Mother, I place this cause in your hands (3x). Holy Spirit, you who solve all problems, light all roads so that I can attain my goal. You who gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me and that in all instances in my life you are with me, I want in this short prayer to thankyou for all things as you confirm once again that I never want to be separated from you in eternal glory.
