STAGE These represent the keynote events for Omi’s Fall Writers’ Residencies, which started September 9 and end the first week in November. Among those reading will be a PEN/Heim Translation Fund Grant recipient from Japan, a researcher of comparative ancient Iranian and Greek intellectual history and authors whose work has appeared in such publications as The New York Times, n+1, Slate, Harper’s and Oxford American.

– Paul Smart Writers’ Omi Reading & Barbecue: Saturday, September 26, 5 p.m., free, Art Omi, County Route 22, Ghent; Sunday, November 1, 7 p.m., free, KGB Bard, 85 East Fourth Street, New York City; www. omiartscenter.org/writers.

Tangent performs Annapurna in Tivoli this Sunday You know what’s really fun? Seeing theater in a pub. Consider the upcoming Tangent Theatre Company performance of the new play Annapurna,

by Sharr White, at the Traghaven Whiskey Pub in Tivoli this Sunday, September 27 at 6 p.m. – for free! A special menu will be available before the show; and the whole thing will be a warmup for the four-day NEWvember festival of select plays, to be announced next month, from November 5 through 8.

Tangent Theatre Company is a sponsored project of Fractured Atlas in New York, a nonprofit arts service organization stretching its roots to the Bard area. Traghaven, for those who haven’t been, is a perfect updating of old pub ideas.

DANCE

BALLETNEXT PREMIERES TWO NEW WORKS AT KAATSBAAN

“A

brilliant partnership of dancers, choreographers and musicians where risk-taking is encouraged and process is a focal point” encapsulates the aspirations of the dance company BalletNext, founded by former American Ballet Theatre principal dancer Michele Wiles and currently in residence at the Kaatsbaan International Dance Center in Tivoli. The troupe likes to explore the boundaries between classical ballet and cutting-edge culture, so one of the two “premiere previews” slated for its performance at Kaatsbaan this Saturday will feature Don’t Blink, a collaboration with Brooklyn Flex Dancing pioneer Jay Donn.

In addition, the program, starting at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, September 26, will include the premiere preview of Apogee in 3, set to music by trumpeter and composer Tom Harrell. BalletNext will also perform a dance inspired by the Earth’s most southern city: Ushuaia, choreographed by Wiles to music by Heinrich Biber.

Tickets to BalletNext’s Saturday evening performance cost $30 for adults, $10 for children and are available online at www.kaatsbaan.org. Student rush tickets will be available at the door for $10. The Kaatsbaan International Dance Center is located at 120 Broadway in Tivoli.

Art Omi in Ghent hosts writers-in-residence reading & barbecue Our region has long been a haven for writers seeking the peace that’s needed to get works started – or finished – with individuality. Art Omi, in rural Columbia County, continues this history that has seen artist colonies and private summer rentals fuel everyone from Mark Twain and Wal-

lace Stevens to Gail Godwin and Jonathan Franzen hitting their stride in the Hudson Valley. Its summer literary retreats will be celebrated over the coming weeks with a pair of readings here and in New York City.

Locally, there’ll be a reading and barbecue at Omi, out in Ghent, this Saturday, September 26 starting at 5 p.m.; the following Sunday, November 1, a second free reading will take place at the KGB Bar in the East Village in Manhattan.

Tangent Theatre Company presents Annapurna, Sunday, September 27, 6 p.m., free, Traghaven Whiskey Pub, 66 Broadway, Tivoli; (845) 230-7020, www.tangent-arts.org.

Tony-winner Sutton Foster to star in Half Moon Theatre Gala Sutton Foster won her first Tony Award for Best Leading Actress in a Musical via an improbably route: She was the understudy for the title role in the 2002 revival of Thoroughly Modern Millie when the lead actress dropped out during out-of-town previews. That fairytale start was no fluke,

however. Foster went on to appear in ten more Broadway shows, including The Drowsy Chaperone, Little Women, Young Frankenstein and Shrek the Musical, and copped her second Best Actress Tony in 2011 as Reno Sweeney in Anything Goes. She’s currently a TV star, portraying Liza Miller in Younger on the TV Land cable network.

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

To purchase tickets to the Gala, call (800) 838-3006.

G ordon Parks exhibition at Vassar’s Lehman Loeb

I N T E R N AT I O N A L DA N C E C E N T E R T I VO L I N Y

KAATSBAAN

ordon Parks’s photo essay Harlem Gang Leader sprang from the time that Parks spent following a teenaged gang leader in New York, Leonard “Red� Jackson. Its 1948 publication in Life magazine established Parks as one of the most significant social photographers of the 20th century and led to Parks becoming the first and, for 20 years, the only African-American staff member of a major American magazine or newspaper. Still, Parks was reportedly never fully comfortable with Life’s editing and presentation of his images. He felt that they had been stripped of their complexity and spun into a one-dimensional narrative of fear and violence.

Parks worked at Life for two decades, chronicling subjects related to racism and poverty, as well as taking memorable pictures of celebrities and politicians including Muhammad Ali, Malcolm X, Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. and Stokely Carmichael. His most famous images, such as Emerging Man (1952) and American Gothic (1942) capture the essence of activism and humanitarianism in mid20th-century America and have become iconic images, defining their era for later generations. They also rallied support for the burgeoning Civil Rights movement, for which Parks himself was a tireless advocate as well as a documentarian.

Parks became the first African American director to helm a major motion picture, introducing the “blaxploitation� genre through his film Shaft (1971). He wrote numerous memoirs, novels and books of poetry. Parks received many awards,

including the National Medal of the Arts and more than 50 honorary degrees.

The Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center’s special exhibition at Vassar College, “Gordon Parks: The Making of an Argument,� takes a behind-the-scenes look at the editorial decisions leading up to the publication of this photo essay. The show opens September 25 and will be on view through December 13. Exhibition events include an opening lecture by curator Russel Lord on Friday, October 2 at 5:30 p.m. in Taylor Hall, Room 102.

This will be followed immediately by a 6:30 reception at the Art Center Atrium and Galleries. Admission is free. For more information, visit http://fllac.vassar.edu.

Vassar College is located at 124 Raymond Avenue in Poughkeepsie.

Remember the public art project last spring in which 18 artist-painted oneof-a-kind doors were erected overnight at various locations in the Gardiner area? Planted in fields, set up on corners and installed along roadsides, the unique and colorful doors invited speculation on their presence until it was revealed that they were on display as a preview to last May’s Gardiner Open Studio Tour (GOST) event.

Lady Pink, an artist now based in Gardiner who made a name for herself in New York City street art in the ’80s, came up with the idea. And now, she says, the doors are making their final appearance for a one-day only silent auction set to take

place on the streets of the hamlet during a block party to be held this Saturday, September 26 from 3-7 p.m.

The doors will be placed on view from the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail entrance up to Main Street along Arch Street. There were 18 doors last spring; there will be at least 35 doors this time, according to Pink, available to view and bid on from 3-5:45 p.m. when bidding closes. Simultaneous bidding on eBay will end at the same time.

(Search “GOST doors” on their site.)

Proceeds from the auction of each door will go to the artist who created it, says Pink, with it being their option to choose how much of the profits to share with the Gardiner Library, which is intended to be a beneficiary of this event.

Throughout the afternoon, art demonstrations will be held throughout the hamlet and the event will include some vendors, live music and a kids’ art tent. The Village Market & Eatery and Pasquale’s will be open and serving a limited menu outdoors.

At 6 p.m. the action moves to the porch of the soon-to-open GLM Farm Bar & Mercantile at 128 Main Street, where light refreshments will be available and the top bidders on the GOST doors and raffle winners will be announced.

working as a downtown New York City realtor, McGivern established a grand new foothold in Columbia County, where her CR10 space in Linlithgo (named for the county road that it’s on, outside of Hudson) has a wellattended series of seasonal exhibits that crescendoed last weekend with the opening of a remarkable show of Bard professor Arthur Gibbons’ sculptures. More recently, she has also been working with the Friends of Clermont and Clermont State Historic Site near the county border with Dutchess on site-specific sculpture shows, the latest – titled “Potential Fields…A Meandering Algorithm” – opening this coming weekend for a run into early November.

McGivern calls the collection of works that she has pulled together “a sculptural response to the land within two concentric fields circling the ice pond and the cottage,” while simultaneously referencing “the ‘potential fields’ in Maxwell’s Equations, which represent one of the most elegant ways to state the fundamentals of electricity and magnetism. The potential fields are not what is observed; the electromagnetic fields are... An algorithm is a set of steps towards finding resolution. In this exhibition, ‘a meandering algorithm’ (within the two concentric circles) references Buddhist circumambulation... a conscious connection.”

A number of the region’s top experimental sound artists and innovative musicians will perform throughout the exhibit’s opening this Saturday, September 26 from 4 to 6 p.m.

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. For more information, call bluecashew at (845) 8761117 or visit www.bluecashewkitchen.com or www.chilewich.com.

Dutchess County Airport to host WDST â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inaugural Speed of Sound Festival

R

adio Woodstockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Speed of Sound Festival celebrates the Album-oriented Adult Alternative format pioneerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 WDSTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 Helmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s luminous and funky 2015 release Didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s electric Hot f *&%ing Tuna; â&#x20AC;&#x2122;nuff said.

Kennedyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Woodstockcentric 2015 release Live at Utopia is proof positive of the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance prowess. Bill Payne from Little Feat, Kate Pierson and Jackie Greene will be joining Kennedy and Minstrel.

JAZZ, BLUES AND R & B

BUENA VISTA CHAKA SOCIAL CLUB K HA N

The free jazz niche is narrow but deep, its supporters few but ardent and passionate. It is difficult to convey in words what the arrival of Quinnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in Beacon has meant to this vibrant community of fans and players. The converted luncheonette on Main Street routinely brings in some of the biggest names and reputations from the experimental jazz world, wowing audiences with alien improvisations and ecstasies.

BEN NEILL & TODD REYNOLDS PLAY MINIMALIST CLASSICS THIS SATURDAY AT MANITOGA

U

nder deadline, I decided to listen to Terry Riley’s Minimalist landmark In C to get in the mood before writing about the Ben Neill-produced performance of In C and other pieces at Manitoga in Garrison on Saturday, September 26. Big mistake. It takes Riley no more than a few minutes to induce an incapacitating reverie from which no conventional writing could come. The best you could muster would be a little concrete poetry. You can hate or dismiss this music all you like; it is still gonna f*ck you up.

Riley avoids all conventional syntax of melody, offering instead a busy field of looping two- and three-note ladders, discrete circuits, mutating coils and palindromes that add or lose a character here and there as the chromosomes flake off; bouncing internal reflections and echoes, animal colloquy; flitting interlopers and irritants (yes, there is dissonance in In C, except that the whole construct required to judge a note dissonant has been slowly dismantled). There are a few round, held notes in stark contrast to all the self-contained action clusters, and, at about 29 minutes, something atypical and very like a sustained melody, but it gains no traction in the slough.

There’s a cosmic linotype sound to it all. It begins to feel like the machine code of the universe: more discovery of science than invention of art. It is pre-music.

The academic Minimalism of Riley and Reich was a corrective in its day of dawning, a clear and strong acid applied to the accumulated manners and expressive devices of serious music – and to the hot dialect of jazz as well. Its influence in serious music as well as in dance and pop is inestimable. Any composer or player interested in the forward edge of music had to learn to dwell in this fashion, needed to complete an apprenticeship in the pure and restorative arts of flux, resetting the scales to zero before moving on in the discovery of their own agencies and purposes. It was like a big collective colon cleanse. Still is, actually.

Electro-trumpeter and composer Ben Neill certainly did his time with it, and it shows in his own serious composition as well as in his club-leaning hybrid fusion records. The Beacon area, you have probably noticed, has become the seat of the avant-garde and experimental in the region (though Hudson’s a real scrapper as well, and war seems inevitable). So when the Garrison resident Neill went to assemble an ensemble to perform In C, in addition to sympathetic works by John Cage and others, he found no shortage of neighbors conversant in this specialized 20th-century musical language.

The band for the outdoor Manitoga performance consists of all luminaries of the style: the groundbreaking violinist/composer Todd Reynolds, co-founder of the ETHEL string quartet and frequent player with the Bang on a Can All-Stars, whose recording of In C is the one that ruined my morning; the reed-player and scholar of animal sound David Rothenberg; the local art gadfly, Fripp-schooled guitarist and serious student of all music James Keepnews; Ordinaires guitarist Joe Dizney; notable composer/trombonist Peter Zummo; the expansive jazz violinist and composer Gwen Laster; and many more (14 or 15 total, and the list or performers is still in flux).

In C is by nature spatial, environmental music – exactly the kind that the producers at Manitoga, the Russell Wright Design Center, have been emphasizing in their past

Musicians pitch in to help singer Ingrid Sertso

F

or years, we’ve been hearing warnings that overuse of antibiotics could lead to a crisis of mutated microbes that fail to respond to the usual drugs. And now MRSA, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, is here, and the staph infection is prevalent in the places where the most antibiotics are in use: our hospitals and nursing homes.

When leaders of the world’s major industrial nations met at the G7 summit in Germany this June, one of the issues discussed was the growing problem of antibiotic-resistant infections. Scientific academies of the seven countries issued statements that recommended boosting research on treatment options and raising public awareness about the problem.

Singer Ingrid Sertso of Woodstock, cofounder of Creative Music Studio, now has awareness of MRSA from personal experience. Her story of disaster and recovery began with a broken arm on December 5 of last year. Although the injury was not serious, Sertso, 71, spent a night in the hospital with an IV. Sertso returned home and was fine for about a week. Then, she recalled, “I got tired, I couldn’t eat, and every day it got worse. I became nauseous. I went into delirium shortly before the new year. I don’t remember getting back to the hospital. In DION OGUST | ALMANAC WEEKLY intensive care, a lot of friends went to visit Ingrid Sertso me, and I can’t remember one face. From New Year’s to the end of February, I was half awake and half gone — mostly gone.”

The infection spread to the liver and kidneys, and Sertso contracted pneumonia. She needed a ventilator to breathe and a tube feeder to take in nourishment. “I couldn’t eat or speak for two and a half months,” she said. “I couldn’t get up and could only lie on my back. They tried to find the right antibiotic that would kill this bacteria. Many doctors came to see me.”

She was also visited by monks from Karma Triyana Dharmachakra (KTD) monastery in Woodstock, where Sertso and her husband, musician Karl Berger, study and practice Buddhism. Dr. Charles Kutler, the physician of KTD teacher Bardor Tulku Rinpoche, finally found the antibiotic that cleared up the infection.

Sertso was transferred to Wingate Rehabilitation Center in Beacon, where she relearned how to walk, sit, eat and speak.

“When you have something like that, you become like a baby,” she said. “I got fantastic physical therapy. The young girls who worked with me said I learned so fast. I was two days on a walker, then on a cane, and then I walked freely. I had to learn to eat right so nothing goes into my lungs.”

Staph bacteria tend to infect people with low immunity. Sertso, on the other hand, was in good health. “I’d never been so sick in my life,” she remarked. “I used to do yoga every day and African dance, qi gong. We eat a good diet, organic food. But several doctors said if you break something, it’s such a shock to the immune system and the body.”

Several musicians have offered to perform at two fundraisers to help pay Sertso’s medical bills. The first benefit will be held this Monday, September 28 at the Falcon in Marlboro, Sertso will be joined by her husband, CMF co-founder Karl Berger (piano, vibes), Peter Apfelbaum (reeds), Joe Fonda (bass), Harvey Sorgen (drums), Steve Gorn (bansuri flute), Kenny Wessel (guitar) and other special guests. The performance starts promptly at 7 p.m.

On Saturday, October 17 from 5 to 11 p.m., the Kleinert/James Gallery in Woodstock will host an evening party and performances to celebrate Sertso’s recovery and to help recoup costs from her medical bills. Highlights from this concert will include Jack DeJohnette (solo piano), Woodstock Percussion founder Garry Kvistad (solo percussion), Marilyn Crispell (piano) with Doug James (drums), Steve Gorn (flutes) with Ingrid Sertso (vocals), Karl Berger (piano/vibes) with Tani Tabal (drums), John Menegon (bass), Teri Roiger (vocals), Ted Orr (guitar), Marc Black (vocals), Nina Sheldon (piano) and other well-known musicians from the Hudson Valley and beyond.

For those who cannot attend the benefits but want to make a financial contribution, donations can be made on the Creative Music Foundation website with a note that says “For Ingrid.” For details, visit www.creativemusicfoundation.org or contact creativemusicfoundation1@gmail.com.

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.

It was Joe Walsh, of course, the man who has always defined the point of greatest eccentricity allowable within the perimeter of classic rock. Throughout 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 20th-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 proto-prog and psychedelic chamber-rock leanings in evidence 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?

Byrdcliffe’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 (pictured above in a photo by Dion Ogust) 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 PuigRoget (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 worldpremiere 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) 679-2079 or at the door.

lander Band as its first offering in the 2015-2016 Showcase Concert Series, at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, September 25 at Christ Church, 20 Carroll Street, Poughkeepsie.

It’s been an eventful season for this Brooklyn band, fronted by the singer, songwriter Hollander, originally from Woodstock, where she grew up surrounded by acoustic string music, bluegrass and Americana. An early summer show at the Rosendale Cafe was followed by a rocking showcase show at the Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival, and performances at the Ossippee Valley Music Festival, the Brooklyn Country Music Festival.

Additionally, Bluegrass Today, one of the foremost websites following acoustic music, has this today about her latest CD: “In truth, all the singing is first rate, often presented without harmony or with Abby way out front. Her voice is strong, but sensitive — a tough task to accomplish — with a wide range and a lovely tonal character. To call it simple sounds like a knock, but her voice has a purity and a plaintive quality that is very appealing, and suits her original songs and the others she has chosen to present here perfectly.”

The band consists of Hollander on the standup bass and lead vocals; Ellery Marshall on banjo; the aptly named Jeff Picker on guitar and Nick Reeb on fiddle.

Adults are $15; students get in for $5.

Children under 12 are free. Tickets are available at the door. For more information, see hvbluegrass.org.

he Rondout Valley is Ulster County’s agricultural heartland, and arguably the epicenter of the mid-Hudson’s explosion of interest over the past few decades in farm-to-table cuisine and sustainable agriculture. The organization pulling all the threads of that movement together on a local basis in the Rondout Valley Growers’ Association (RVGA), which has recently been prioritizing putting healthier, locally grown foods in school cafeterias, food pantries and soup kitchens.

Each year about this time, RVGA throws a humongous musical party for farmers and foodies called the Harvest Hoedown & Local Food Barbecue. There’s an awesome locally sourced meal, square, contra and swing dancing with a hot bluegrass band, an awards ceremony and plenty of fun activities for kids, like painting a pumpkin, sitting on a tractor or making a racecar out of a squash and racing it in the Zucchini 500.

This year’s Harvest Hoedown takes place at Tongore Park in Marbletown on Saturday, September 26 from 3 to 9 p.m., rain or shine. Dinner will be served from 5 to 7 p.m.; afterwards, the Shoe String Band will propel the dancers and fiddler Liz Slade will be the caller. According to RVGA executive director Deborah Meyer DeWan, awards will be presented this year to “Nicci Cagan, as the community sparkplug for Farm to School; Family of Woodstock for their incredible leadership in helping us bring fresh food from Rondout Valley farms to local food pantries; and Elizabeth Ryan for her tireless efforts to save Stone Ridge Orchard and her role as a pioneering woman in agriculture.”

Advance tickets to the Hoedown, which is a major annual fundraiser for RVGA, cost $25 per adult and $5 for children aged 6 to 12; kids under 6 years get in free. They can be purchased online at www.rondoutvalleygrowers.org or in person at the Hudson Valley Farm Hub, Davenport Farms, the Saunderskill Market, Kelder’s Farm, Barthel’s Farm Market, the Bywater Bistro, Graze Farm to Table and Stone Ridge Wine & Spirits.

Beacon Sukkah Project Sukkot, which runs this Sunday for eight days through October 5, is a truly cool holiday. It celebrates harvest with age-old Jewish traditions that include the building of an outdoor Sukkah, or temporary structure similar

to those used during harvest time in ancient days, and a mix of reverence and celebration that’s like a release from the previous’ weeks atonements and serious contemplations involved in Yom Kippur.

In Beacon these coming weeks, the Beacon Hebrew Alliance, the Lab House of Study at the 14th Street Y, the Hudson Valley Center for Arts and Beacon Arts are coming together for the second year of “Open to the Sky: The Beacon Sukkah Project.” It’s the creation of a temporary structure symbolizing the idea of impermanence across from City Hall in Polhill Park, next to the Beacon Visitors’ Center, that will be home to special discussions, workshops, storytelling and singalongs, as well as regular mayoral hours and a talk by The New York Times’s Andrew Rivkin on climate change.

“Everything has its moment, and then it passes,” says Rabbi Brent Spodek of the Alliance. “The question is, ‘What can any of us harvest in the time we have?’

This is a holiday about celebrating those possibilities.”

Subtitled “A communal celebration of bounty and vulnerability,” the Sukkah will be open to all.

ers thinking the same thing – which all goes to make the timing for this Saturday’s third annual Cruisin’ on the Mountaintop Fall Car Show so perfect. The air’s crisp and, it being the highest point around, there’ll be ample changing leaves to enjoy, especially given the last holdouts of summer green to lend everything a perfect sense of contrast.

All cars, trucks and motorcycles are welcome, and there’ll be free tee-shirts for the first 50 registrants for each show (17 trophy categories!), along with free goodie bags to all. And Tannersville, located up on Greene County’s Mountaintop near Hunter Mountain, is perfect for such things, given the community’s long Main Street, where it all takes place, and brightly painted storefronts.

The focus of noted author and art historian Avis Berman’s talk with slides will be about Juliana Force, the first director of the Whitney Museum, and her connections to Woodstock, as well as her continuing impact on how we see American art – and whom we see as our key artists after the Metropolitan Museum turned down what would become one of the world’s top collections, still growing to this day.

EVENT

The sound of change Carlos Varela to perform with special guest Jackson Browne at UPAC screening of The Poet of Havana to open Woodstock Film Festival

T

he Poet of Havana, a music documentary film directed by Canadian filmmaker Ron Chapman, features Carlos Varela, one of the most popular and influential artists in Cuba. The film kicks off the 16th annual Woodstock Film Festival, and includes a post-film question-and-answer session and a live performance by Varela and his band with special guest Jackson Browne on Wednesday, September 30 at 7:30 p.m. at the Ulster Performing Arts Center (UPAC) in Kingston.

“This film was submitted to us in March of this year, and it was our first confirmed film. As soon as we saw it, I knew we had to show it,” says Meira Blaustein, cofounder and executive director of the Woodstock Film Festival. “Carlos is the voice of the people in Cuba – he’s their Bob Dylan – and is so beloved. He is the voice of the man on the street, the real Cuba, because he is true to himself and always very authentic.”

The Poet of Havana captures rehearsals and two concerts at the Teatro Nacionál de Cuba (National Theater of Cuba) in Havana that were offered to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Varela’s career.

In the film, the singer/songwriter and his band perform with guest appearances by many well-known musicians, including Jackson Browne, Ivan Lins, Luís Enrique, Eduardo Cabra, Juan Formell, José Luís Cortés, Isaac Delgado, Diana Fuentes, X Alfonso, Alexander Abreu and the String Orchestra of Havana. Actor Benicio del Toro is narrator for The Poet of Havana, which also features interviews with del Toro, Browne and several Cuban musicians.

While in Cuba working on another film, director Ron Chapman discovered Varela’s music and was captivated by both the depth of his talent and his use of artistic expression to question the Communist government’s authority. Varela was born in Havana just four years after the 1959 revolution, and chose to remain in Cuba rather than emigrate. His music has earned him devoted fans in his homeland and, increasingly, around the world. Though frequently censored by the Cuban government, Varela has steadfastly chronicled everyday life in Cuba while withstanding the forces against him; in the process, he has become a powerful artistic leader for a younger generation of Cubans.

“Artists are always the first to voice the sound of change,” says Blaustein.

The Cuban government gave Varela a complete education in theater and music, and he began writing songs at age 15. He joined the Nueva Trova Movement in 1980 and became one of the most popular musicians on the island, despite his government’s refusal to broadcast much of his music due to his critiques of the Communist regime.

With a sound that draws closer to rock music than Cuban son or other traditional styles, Varela has attracted critical acclaim and devoted fans on both sides of the Florida Straits.

In December 2009, Varela made his first visit to the US since 1998 (a 2004 request for a visa was denied by the Bush administration). He came to remix an album with Browne, whom he met and became friends with in 2004; but before heading into the Hollywood recording studio, he traveled to Washington, DC to meet with legislators and perform his song, “Muros y Puertas (Walls and Doors),” for members of the US Congress. With lyrics like, “There can be freedom only when nobody owns it,” and “There are those who build walls and those who open doors,” the song conveyed Varela’s concerns and questions about Cuban/American policies.

The lyrical storyteller has recorded eight albums and tours internationally. “Walls

Egoyan’s fiction feature Remember screens at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, October 1 at the Woodstock Playhouse. It stars Christopher Plummer and Martin Landau as nonagenarian Auschwitz survivors who plot to exact revenge on the sadistic guard who killed their families and now lives under an assumed name in the US, despite the fact that one of them is wheelchairbound and the other losing his memory.

Maddin’s fantasy feature The Forbidden Room screens at 7:30 p.m. on Sunday,

and Doors” is featured on Browne’s 2014 release, Standing in the Breach. Varela’s music has been used on many Cuban films, and you may have heard his song, “Una Palabra (A Word),” on the soundtrack for the 2004 film Man on Fire, starring Denzel Washington and Dakota Fanning.

In July, when the US Embassy in Cuba reopened, Varela, Browne and del Toro were attending the LA premiere of The Poet of Havana at the Grammy Museum; it has also been shown in recent months at the Miami, Tampa, Arizona, Chicago and other major festivals.

“Here at the Woodstock Film Festival, the fact that The Poet of Havana is directed by a Canadian citizen, Ron Chapman, dovetails nicely with a larger Canadian presence at our festival. Our two honorary awards – the Maverick and the Fiercely Independent Award – will be given to two Canadians for our opening and closing films,” says Blaustein. “This evening with The Poet of Havana is going to be such a great event, a bridging of cultures and musicians. We’re very excited about it, and it’s a great kickoff for the Woodstock Film Festival, to be uniting, bridging our cultures together with music. It will be quite a celebration.”

Evry Mann will serve as interpreter during a post-film Q & A with Varela, Chapman and Browne. Mann, executive director of the Center for Creative Education and founder/director of the Percussion Orchestra of Kingston (POOK), led more than 50 trips to Cuba to study music, dance, visual art and education from 1999 to 2006.

The panelists will talk about how they began to collaborate with each other and offer a behind-the-scenes view of the making of the film. The evening will culminate with a live performance by Varela and his band, with special guest Jackson Browne.

SPOTLIGHT ON WOMEN Since WFF’s founding, “the percentage of women working as writers, editors and producers has dropped, with women comprising only seven percent of directors on the biggest moneymakers,” according to Variety magazine. Even in the indie world, reports the Center for the Study of Women in Television and Film, in the past year women directed only 29 percent of independent documentaries and 18 percent of narrative features not made by major Hollywood studios.

WFF has thus taken it upon itself to provide a bigger platform for female filmmakers, with nearly half of this year’s offerings – 25 out of 53 features – helmed by women.

Noteworthy among these, in the narrative department, is Paula Romanowsky’s The Adderall Diaries, based on Stephen Elliott’s much-talkedabout memoir and starring James Franco and Ed Harris, which screens at 10 p.m. on Friday, October 2 at the Woodstock Playhouse and at 5 p.m. on Saturday, October 3 at the Orpheum Theater in Saugerties.

Prizewinning local filmmaker Susan Hamovitch has made a featurelength documentary that follows a storm survivor from New Orleans’ hard-hit St. Bernard Parish, Susan Boutwell LaGrange, through the first four years after Katrina as she struggles to lift her family out of poverty.

SCREENING

Surviving Katrina is just Square One Stood for the Storm at Rosendale Theatre this Saturday

O

ut of great traumas come great stories, testifying to the heartening human capacity for forging creation out of destruction. Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath have already inspired some impressive onscreen interpretations, including the HBO series Treme, Spike Lee’s documentary When the Levees Broke and Benh Zeitlin’s lyrical fiction feature Beasts of the Southern Wild. Now a prizewinning local filmmaker, Kerhonksonbased Susan Hamovitch, has made a featurelength documentary that follows a storm survivor from New Orleans’ hard-hit St. Bernard Parish, Susan Boutwell LaGrange, through the first four years after Katrina as she struggles to lift her family out of poverty.

The movie is titled Stood for the Storm, and it gets its New York State premiere this Saturday afternoon at the Rosendale Theatre. Producer/director Hamovitch will be on hand for a live question-and-answer session following the screening.

“My goal for this film is to begin the conversation about what a major disaster engenders over the long term and what we must do as a community, as a nation to ease that struggle for our fellow citizens,” she writes on the film’s website, www.stoodforthestorm.com, where you can also view a trailer. Discussion of the impacts of Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee on our own region seems pertinent and likely.

Admission to the 2 p.m. screening of Stood for the Storm this Saturday, September 26 costs $10, with part of the proceeds to be donated to Levees.org.

The Rosendale Theatre is located at 408 Main Street (Route 213) in Rosendale.

moderator. The Film Fatales collective will celebrate women directors with a meetup and panel discussion at Bearsville’s Commune Saloon at 3:30 p.m. on Friday. And the third annual Tangerine Entertainment Juice Award for Best Female Director will be handed out at the Awards Gala at Bearsville on Saturday night.

LOCAL FOCAL As is most appropriate for an organization closely affiliated with the Hudson Valley Film Commission, WFF also does a great job of promoting movies made in our region or by local producers and directors or starring actors with homes in the mid-Hudson. Katie Cokinos’ abovementioned I Dream Too Much is but one of several WFF 2015 offerings shot in our neck of the woods. Frank Lotito’s narrative feature Good Ol’ Boy, screening at 2 p.m. on Friday at the Woodstock Playhouse and at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday at the Rosendale Theatre, was shot entirely on location in Ulster County.

Jake La Botz, the star of Chris Hicky’s The Grace of Jake, screening on 5 p.m. on Saturday at the Bearsville and at 12:30 p.m. on Sunday at Upstate Films Rhinebeck, lives in Newburgh.

Both the subject, veteran actress Mary Louise Wilson, and the producer/director, Ron Nyswaner, of the documentary She’s the Best Thing in It are Ulster County residents; it screens at 7:45 p.m. on Saturday at Upstate Films Woodstock and at 3 p.m. on Sunday at Upstate Films Rhinebeck. Natalie Merchant lives in Ulster County as well, along with Jon Bowermaster, who is the producer of her abovementioned Paradise Is There and the director of After the Spill, a documentary about the aftermath of the BP Deepwater Horizon disaster that will have its world premiere at 3 p.m. on Sunday at the Woodstock Playhouse. And Mavis! includes a visit to Levon Helms’ Barn right in Woodstock. You can’t get much more locally focused than that.

IT’S NOT TOO LATE TO SCORE TIX That’s only the tip of the iceberg, of course; there are hundreds of films to choose from – some by and with total unknowns awaiting discovery, others boasting star-studded casts. There are lots of other panel discussions, and I didn’t even mention the great programs of shorts and animation. Ticket prices range from $10 to $75, and although some of the higher-profile events were already sold out by presstime, plenty of others still have seats available. You can hardly go wrong here taking a chance on something that sounds like it’ll never be shown in mainstream cinemas, even if the show that you wanted is no longer available.

Check out the listings at www. woodstockfilmfestival.com, then visit the box office at 13 Rock City Road in Woodstock or call (845) 679-4265 to order tickets. See you at the festival!

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

From flops to tops Brussels sprouts stalks can be trained upright

I

am particularly proud of my Brussels sprouts this year – and I haven’t even tasted them yet. How odd that I should be proud of this vegetable that I spurned in the past, often quoting a friend who referred to them as “little green balls of death.” Then I put my own twist on that description, saying that perhaps the friend meant that Brussels sprouts were only palatable a “little boiled to death.”

I’ve come around, and decided a couple of years ago that Brussels sprouts were worth growing, despite their high demands on space and time. For good production in northern climates, the seeds need to be sown indoors in early March, and then harvest doesn’t start until October or sometime after the first frost. And for all that waiting, each plant – a mere single stalk with whorls of leaves from top to bottom and a sprout at the base of each leaf – takes up an area of about three feet by three feet.

Things would be bad enough if a Brussels sprouts plant just grew straight up to fill its allotted area. But the plant can’t support itself, so in its youth it flops down on the ground. Once that supine stem has created a firm base upon which to rise, the end of the growing stem curves more or less upward according to original plan. That youthful waywardness wastes and muddies lowermost sprouts, with the sprawling plant demanding even more space – which is a problem in an intensively planted garden.

This summer, before the plants even had time to consider flopping down, I poked a bamboo pole into the ground next to each one, which I tied to the pole, adding ties to keep up with growth.

Perhaps a bit too orderly for a vegetable garden, but my Brussels sprouts “trees,” each now over four feet tall, look quite attractive.

The “trees” are not likely to grow much higher, because I pinched out the top bud of each plant in early September. This pinching redirects the plants energy from the highest growing point to the side shoots – which are the sprouts. All month, the sprouts have been fattening, soon to be snapped off and eaten.

I also count among this season’s successes two little-known flowers, both of which elicited oohs and ahhs from visitors here. One of the flowers was Signet marigolds. You might think, “Marigolds? They’re okay, but more ho-hum than ‘ooh and ahh.’” Not so.

Signet marigolds, Tagetes tenuifolia, are a different species from common marigolds, and they look a little different.

Mostly they’re smaller, expanding into amorphous mounds of fine, lacy limegreen leaves, from which stare out small yellow or orange blossoms: most charming. A lemony-marigold aroma wafts from both the blossoms and the leaves.

Actually, the aroma can waft over the whole garden if you plant enough Signet

marigolds – which I did this year. In the past, the seeds never germinated very well for me, so I just spot-planted what few seedlings I could raise here and there in the garden.

This spring, in mid-April, I sowed the seeds densely in an eight-by-six-inch seedflat. The dense planting led to an excessive number of crowded seedlings.

While they were still young, I gently lifted each one to transplant into its own potting-soil-filled cell to grow for a month or so before planting out in the garden.

The few plants that I poked in at the feet of vegetable beds on either side of the main path through the vegetable garden have grown into sprawling mounds that wash into the main and side paths of the vegetable garden like seawater into an undulating beach. The flowing mounds effectively soften any excessive orderliness of the garden (from the soldier-straight Brussels sprouts plants, for example).

My grape arbor creates a horizontal roof nine feet above my terrace.

Each of the four grapevines rises to that height on a single trunk. What an opportunity for a climbing vine, especially one that climbs by twining! My other floral success this year has been

for $3. Remember, Forsyth also has a new playground to explore! Forsyth Park is located at 157 Lucas Avenue in Kingston.

with such a twining plant: cardinal climber (Ipomoea x multifida, a hybrid created by mating I. coccinea and I. quamoclit).

In the past, other species of Ipomoea climbed those trunks. Morning glory was one; but that only blooms, of course, in the morning. Moonflowers have also dressed up the trunks, but they bloom only at night.

So this year, cardinal climber was the Ipomoea species for the grape trunks.

It blooms all day long, clothing itself in blossoms from top to bottom. The size and color of the blossoms, an inch or so across and cardinal-red, seem best for relatively close viewing when sitting on the terrace.

No need for these flowers to soften any excessive orderliness of the arbor. The grape trunks wend their way skyward and their long new shoots create plenty of disarray, except right after they are pruned each spring.

ALMANAC WEEKLY Mountains, and not far from the Hudson River and his student Frederic Church’s Olana. Money will go to match the home’s colors and original stenciling from when the British-born painter lived there ( think lavender, red and gold and periwinkle blue), as well

as for new exhibitions. The rising notfor-profit is thinking about now regularly including contemporary shows like “River Crossings” that have drawn large crowds and critical accolades at both the Cole House and Olana since opening last spring.

September 24, 2015 The new design accoutrements will extend the interactive sense of Cole’s achievements as a supreme aesthetician and designer, as well as his role as originator of what would become known as the Hudson River School of Painting and a key instigator of American environmentalism, while simultaneously bringing to life the renewed and deepening research into this key world-class artist’s life, world and continuing legacy.

Meanwhile, as all this comes to life over the coming two years, the historic site will also be finishing up and then opening its reconstruction of the painter’s final “new” studio, which was demolished in the 1970s.

NIGHT SKY

The bizarre Sunday Night eclipse You don’t want to miss it

T

his Sunday night, September 27, we’ll have one of the best lunar eclipses in years. Part of the appeal will be real stuff, part media hype, part folklore. But it really shouldn’t be missed. Here you will find the honest-to-gosh truth, and the cool facts you might want to know.

This is a convenient event. The partial eclipse begins 9:07 p.m. EDT. The black “bite” taken out of the Moon will grow and grow, and then strangely turn red at some point.

Best guess for the start of redness: around 9:50; certainly by 10 p.m. When will you see this happen?

The weirdest-looking Moon is not at the start, and not when it’s total. Instead, it’s around 10 p.m., when it takes on its most bizarre shape – not quite totally eclipsed.

The total phase begins at 10:11. Expect to see greatly uneven lighting. The top of the Moon should be much brighter and yellower, with the bottom darker and redder.

Totality ends at 11:24 p.m. EDT, and the visible partial eclipse ends at 12:27 p.m.

EDT. You may see other times listed in various media sources. Don’t trust them. Some use “penumbral” eclipse timings, but nothing visible happens then.

Now for the cool extra stuff. This is the night of the Harvest Moon, the year’s bestknown Full Moon. The moment of Harvest Moon is mid-eclipse: 10:47 p.m. EDT. This is also the night of lunar perigee, at 10 p.m. In fact, this is the closest perigee of the year. So, amazingly, as the eclipse is in progress, the Moon arrives at its closest point to Earth of 2015: the largest Moon of the year.

This Moon is 14 percent bigger than this year’s smallest Full Moon, and about seven percent bigger than its average size. This difference is only marginally visible to the eye. It’s more dramatic as an idea than as an actual visual phenom. However, when this Moon first rises (at sunset) it will truly look enormous. But nearly all of that is due to the famous “Moon illusion,” which “blows up” all objects when they’re close to the horizon.

If you’re a numbers person, Sunday night’s Moon will only be 221,753 miles away.

That’s the center-to-center separation. The distance from Earth’s surface to the Moon’s nearest surface will then be 216,700 miles. Close!

Will it affect the tides? You bet. We will see the year’s highest tides that day and the next.

As for where in the sky: The eclipsed Moon will hover in front of the faint stars of the constellation Pisces, the Fish. No bright stars or planets will appear near the eclipsed Moon.

Another aspect: This total eclipse is the last of four in a series called a tetrad. The others happened April 15, 2014, October 8, 2014 and April 4, 2015. You see, lunar eclipses can be partial, total or penumbral, and come six months apart, when the node of the Moon’s orbit is aligned with the Earth and Sun. Eclipse types appear in no particular order. So a total is usually followed by a partial, for example. But when four consecutive lunar eclipses are all total, the series is called a tetrad.

Historically, tetrads are rare. During the entire three centuries from 1600 to 1900, there were no tetrads at all. But we are now in a period of frequent tetrads. During the 21st century, there are eight of tetrads. Thus, if considered in terms of our own lifetime, tetrads are rather common.

The black “bite” taken out of the Moon will grow and grow, and then strangely turn red

Bard hosts three free lectures on Roman epitaphs by Mary Beard Eminent scholar Mary Beard, professor of Classics at the University of Cambridge, will present the Anthony Hecht Lectures in the Humanities at Bard College this week. The series of lectures, titled “Last Words: Roman Epitaphs and Their ‘Afterlife,’” will explore Roman epitaphs and the sensibilities that they reveal. The three talks at Bard’s Olin Auditorium will take place on Monday, September 28 at 5 p.m.; Tuesday, September 29 at 5 p.m.; and Wednesday, September 30 at 5:45 p.m. The lectures are free and open to the public and no reservations are required. For more information, go to www.bard.edu.

Bringing ancient Roman society to life using their own words, “Last Words” will focus on Roman epitaphs and the part that they played in early museology and Victorian fiction. The lectures will explore topics such as the family mausoleum of the Scipio family, which included some of the most famous figures and ruthless soldiers of ancient Rome.

Beard is one of Britain’s best-known classicists: a distinguished professor of Classics at the University of Cambridge,

where she has taught for the last 30 years. She has written numerous books on the ancient world, including the 2008 Wolfson Prizewinner, Pompeii: The Life of a Roman Town, which portrays a vivid account of life in Pompeii in all its aspects from food to sex and politics. Her interests range from the social and cultural life of ancient Greece and Rome to the Victorian understanding of antiquity. In addition, Beard is classics editor of the Times Literary Supplement and writes an engaging, often provocative blog, A Don’s Life, selections of which have been published in book form.

Dr. Carol Berkin lectures on the Bill of Rights at SUNY-Ulster Named for the college’s recently retired longtime president, the Dr. Donald C. Katt Institute for Constitutional Studies at SUNY-Ulster specializes in bringing experts on Constitutional law and American history to the Stone Ridge campus to give lectures on pertinent topics. On Monday evening, September 28, the series continues with a talk titled “The Bill of Rights: The Fight to Secure American Liberties.”

The distinguished presenter is Dr. Carol

NASA

Still, this tetrad is strange and also fortunate for those living in North America, in that all four total eclipses were at least partly visible from nearly the entire mainland US. The one most conveniently positioned for us who live in the Hudson Valley is this one, of September 27.

MEDIA HYPE, NEW AGE AND RELIGIOUS/DOOMSDAY ASPECTS OF THIS EVENT For several years now, the media have often referred to a total lunar eclipse as a “Blood Moon.” We can expect to see such headlines again for this eclipse.

That label sounds dramatic, but the actual color of the eclipsed moon is coppery red, like a penny, more resembling deep orange, and thus doesn’t look at all like blood.

That allusion feeds into Biblical passages such as Revelation 6:12 and Joel 2:31 (King James Bible): The Sun shall be turned into darkness, and the Moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.

This has made a few on the Internet assume that this eclipse heralds Armageddon.

The media have, the past few years, also referred to any Full Moon that happens on the night of lunar perigee (close approach) to be a “MegaMoon.” This is a newly coined term, and is not used by astronomers. Since a Full Moon/perigee coincide once or twice every year, a “big” Full Moon is actually not rare. Such events are generally of little or no interest to professional astronomers.

In fact, a total lunar eclipse is not scientifically useful. It is not like a total solar eclipse, where the appearance of phenomena like the solar corona offer opportunities for serious research. Indeed, even this coming together of Harvest Moon, extreme lunar perigee (close approach) and a total eclipse is a popular astronomy and folklore event rather than a scientifically useful one.

No matter. It’s just plain cool. In terms of folklore and tradition, when do you recall seeing the Harvest Moon get totally eclipsed? And when is the Moon eclipsed just as it reaches its closest position to Earth of the whole year? The combination gives it a huge “wow” factor.

Let’s hope for clear skies.

CAULIFLOWER FESTIVAL IN MARGARETVILLE THIS SATURDAY

T

he hamlet of Margaretville up in the Catskills has long been centered around a nucleus of small businesses and farms. First settled in 1763 by four Dutch families, Margaretville had a post office, hotels, small stores and an agricultural industry established by the 1840s. The cauliflower industry came to town after farmer William F. VanBenschoten planted the vegetable on a mountaintop overlooking the village in 1891.

Cauliflower throve in the region, and neighboring farms followed suit. The heyday of cauliflower, which lasted from the turn of the last century through the 1940s, supported a lot of people in the area, and it was such an important part of this local economy that the newspaper printed crop predictions and cauliflower prices on the front page. But with increased competition from growers in California and on Long Island, the Catskill-region cauliflower industry declined by the 1950s.

But its heritage lives on today in the annual Cauliflower Festival slated for Saturday, September 26 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Village of Margaretville Pavilion on Bridge Street behind the supermarket. The event is put on by the Central Catskills Chamber of Commerce.

The celebration of farming, cooking and culture in the Catskill Mountains starts off with a longstanding tradition: the Tractor Parade. It begins at 11:30 a.m. Local farmers drive their favorite tractors along Main Street into the fairgrounds, circling the festival for all to see. Visitors can chat with the farmers afterward to learn about the tractors, which range from newer models to tried-and-true workhorses. There’s a photo op, too, for kids to sit in the cabs to have their picture taken.

There will be plenty of vendors, food, music and fun suitable for the entire family.

The Pure Catskills Tent will have local cheeses, maple syrup and honey to sample, and for the kids there will be a petting zoo and pony rides along with hands-on crafts and entertainment. Hay baling demonstrations are planned, and some local

CIA in Hyde Park hosts student-designed pop-up restaurants “Intrapreneurship”: No, that’s not a misspelled version of the term referring to the single creator of a new business venture. Rather, it refers to people within a larger group who take direct responsibility on themselves for “turning an idea into a profitable finished product through assertive risk-

taking and innovation.” Or as a concentration defined by the Bachelor’s Degree program at the Culinary Institute of America (CIA), intrapreneurship means driving innovation from within an organization.

At the CIA, juniors and seniors pursuing degrees in Management become involved in the development, planning and operation of a food-service concept on the campus in Hyde Park. To hone their individual business skills, they learn what it takes to make a compelling pitch of their ideas to industry experts who judge based on marketability, taste, uniqueness and profitability potential. Once a concept is chosen, they work together to build a functioning restaurant, which they operate during their final semester.

“Other than securing financing, this concentration helps students develop all the skills necessary to be entrepreneurs,” says Dr. Annette Graham, associate dean of Business Management. “Students have an opportunity to participate in all phases of restaurant development. Working in groups, they must create a concept appealing to fellow students, faculty and

Then, of course, there’s the cauliflower: bushels of it to purchase, cookbooks with recipes to inspire and all the reasons in the world to oust that usurper broccoli and bring in the more elegant crown of snowy goodness – that vegetable that Mark Twain has famously referred to as “cabbage with a college education.”

staff. This is additionally challenging because of the discerning palates of their peers.”

As each new group of students opens their experimental restaurant in the CIA’s Innovation Kitchen in the Egg, the college’s newest student dining venue, the student body and faculty get to experience the results of their hard work. This semester, it’s Leyenda: a quick-serve Mexican restaurant. When CIA graduate Enrique Olvera – now chef/ owner of Pujols in Mexico City – was on campus to sample the offering of Leyenda, he said, “Being an entrepreneur is an integral part of becoming a chef. More and more chefs are partners. The business part of a restaurant is inseparable from your dreams of cooking, and the two must align.”

Meet the FDR Libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new director Paul Sparrow

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still experiencing what we call â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the Burns Bump,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? says Paul Sparrow, newly appointed director of the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum in Hyde Park. That bump, he explains, has seen a pretty dramatic increase lately, driven in part by the Ken Burns documentary series about the Roosevelts broadcast not too long ago on PBS. Sparrow replaces retired director Lynn Bassanese, who oversaw the threeyear, $35 million renovation of the FDR site completed in 2013 that included $6 million worth of new exhibits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My predecessor overcame enormous logistical obstacles in doing that,â&#x20AC;? says Sparrow. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They had to move all of the archives out of the building and store them, increase security and do all of the exhibit upgrading. And they did a fantastic job.

The place is in great shape.â&#x20AC;?

A community meet-and-greet with new FDR Library director Paul Sparrow will be held on Wednesday, September 30 in the Henry A. Wallace Visitor and Education Center at the FDR site. The event will begin with a reception at 6 p.m. in the visitor center lobby, followed by brief remarks at 6:30 p.m. Afterward, attendees are invited to view the Libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exhibits free of charge until 9 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.

The FDR Presidential Library, designed

by Franklin Roosevelt himself, was completed in 1941: the first such archive of presidential artifacts to have been created.

Every president since FDR has followed his example and established a presidential library administered by the National Archives and Records Administration to preserve and make accessible to the American people the records of their presidencies.

With June 2016 being the 75 th anniversary of the opening of the FDR Library, a series of events celebrating that milestone are in the works. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be doing a range of different kinds of programs,â&#x20AC;? says Sparrow, â&#x20AC;&#x153;from temporary exhibits and public programming to events specifically recognizing the anniversary.

None of the plans are finalized yet, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a lot of activity around that next June.â&#x20AC;?

And an art component is planned as a part of that. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been looking at the art collection here, and there are some projects that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working on. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the important aspects of the Roosevelt legacy: how much he supported the arts through the WPA [Works Progress Administration] and other things.

We want to connect with the local arts community and are looking at various ways we can do that.â&#x20AC;?

Sparrow was formerly a senior executive with the Newseum, instrumental in the design and construction of the sevenlevel, 250,000-square-foot interactive museum in Washington, DC. He oversaw all Newseum video production and interactive exhibits, developed an awardwinning website, was an early adopter of social media, managed the Education and Programs Department and launched the Newseumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Digital Classroom.

He was also a consultant for the National September 11 Memorial Museum at the World Trade Center and for Andrew Jacksonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hermitage.

Prior to his work at the Newseum, Sparrow was an Emmy Award-winning television producer, journalist and filmmaker who produced primetime news and documentary programming for the Discovery Channel, TLC and Fox. He began his career as a documentary filmmaker in San Francisco. Sparrow has a Masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in Fine Arts from the Center for Contemporary Music at Mills College and an undergraduate degree from the University of California at Santa Cruz.

After 15 years of living in Washington, DC, this is Sparrowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first time living in the Hudson Valley, although as a native of Long Island heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s familiar with New York and his wife is from Westchester. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is sort of like coming home for her,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And this area is so beautiful. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re both very outdoorsy sorts of people and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so much to do here. We rode our bikes out across the Walkway over the Hudson the other day, and what a spectacular project that is: turning urban blight into this fantastic tourism destination. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so impressed with it; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brilliant.â&#x20AC;?

While he makes no claim to be a historian or librarian, Sparrow says that he has always been â&#x20AC;&#x153;a huge amateur history buff.â&#x20AC;?

He has done several documentary projects over the years involving the Roosevelts, he adds, and considers himself to have been a sort of â&#x20AC;&#x153;clientâ&#x20AC;? of the National Archives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a documentary filmmaker, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re constantly turning to them for old footage and information.

Nine levels of Hell Joseph Luzzi book talk at Italian Center on October 1 launches Italian Heritage Month in Poughkeepsie

N

oi Italiani Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Oggi (NIDO), the not-for-profit Italian-American cultural group headquartered in Poughkeepsie, has proclaimed October to be Italian Heritage Month, and it will kick off the festa with a special lecture at its monthly meeting at the Italian Center: Professor Joseph Luzzi, PhD will talk about his latest book, In a Dark Wood: What Dante Taught Me about Grief, Healing and the Mysteries of Love (HarperCollins, 2015).

Luzzi, a Dante expert who teaches Comparative Literature at Bard College, lost his wife in a tragic automobile wreck in Rhinebeck in 2007. They had been married less than two years, and Katherine Mester Luzzi was eight months pregnant with their first child at the time. Although Katherineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s injuries were too severe for her life to be saved, their daughter Isabel was safely delivered through emergency surgery.

In coping with this sudden traumatic loss, coupled with solo fatherhood of a newborn, Joseph Luzzi turned to his chief literary inspiration for words of wisdom and found new meaning in works that he had already thought familiar: a deepened understanding of the poetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sense of loss, his yearning for the home to which the exiled Dante could never return. In a Dark Wood is Luzziâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s account of his personal Inferno and how literature helped him find his way through it.

I love the old expression, never put off for tomorrow what you can do today. It begs for so many silly alterations; never put off for tomorrow what you can do next week, always put off until tomorrow what you shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do anyway, sometimes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better to put off for tomorrow what you are likely to louse up today, never put off for tomorrow what you should have done yesterday, and the opposite; if you put off for tomorrow what you should have done today, someone may invent a machine to do it! I also like, very few people are fast enough to keep up with their good intentions and tomorrow is often the busiest day of the year.

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.
