ALMANAC WEEKLY

2 Sheep & Wool Festival at Dutchess Fairgrounds On the third full weekend of every October since 1980, all things wooly have been celebrated at the New York State Sheep and Wool Festival in Rhinebeck. Exhibits and auctions, demonstrations and competitive shows, workshops and fun activities – it’s all here on the Fairgrounds to be seen and touched and tasted and experienced. And purchased. One can never have too much yarn on hand, right? It’s all about the sheep. And goats and llamas and alpacas and paco-vicuñas and bunnies. These sweet-faced, sometimes noisy and entertaining animals grow some of the finest fleece around. Large covered arenas are filled with them, temporarily living in stalls small enough to allow kids (and short people) to meet and greet them in person. Livestock specimens include animals whose fiber is considered “exotic” and others with special skills, such as leaping! Don’t miss the llama parade, and check out the 2016 National Gotland Sheep Society Fleece Show. Workshops being offered run the gamut of fiber arts skills, from various ethnic knitting methods to dyeing fibers to basic spinning to weaving techniques

to sockmaking, basketmaking, felting. The list is long, and many of the slotted workshops are sold out early. Check out the offerings online so that you can make plans next year. Merritt Bookstore in Millbrook will be selling books and hosting author talks and signings throughout the weekend; the lineup of notable authors is listed on the website, along with a whole-fair schedule of events. Live demos include cooking, sheepshearing, fiber arts methods and dog demos – the herding stock dog or working dog is vital to protect and manage anysized flock. Add storytellers and the Canadian Corpus Theater Troupe performing Les Moutons to an already-packed agenda, along with some October sunshine, fantastic vendors, good food – and you’ve got the best thing going. It’s enough to make every fiber artist salivate. For the best experience, read through the “essentials” list with basic info, dos and don’ts, what to wear, what not to bring and so on. Admission costs $12 per day at the gate, $17 for a weekend pass; children aged 11 and under get in free. Discounted tickets can be pre-purchased at www. etix.com/ticket/v/7052/dutchess-countyfairgrounds. – Ann Hutton NYS Sheep and Wool Festival, Saturday/

Sunday, October 15, 9 a.m.-5 p.m., October 16, 10 a.m.-5 p.m., $17/$12, Dutchess County Fairgrounds, 6550 Spring Brook Avenue, Rhinebeck; www.dutchessfair. com.

Zipline tours & zombiehunting at Hunter Don’t miss the last weekend at Oktoberfest at Hunter Mountain. Head up to the Village of Hunter to see a Catskills autumn in all its glory, and check out the variety of events and activities happening there! The lack of snow doesn’t keep the Scenic Skyride Chairlift from running to the 3,200foot summit. Visitors can go fly-fishing and hiking and 4X4 off-roading, and return to the resort for a meal. It’s not all luxurious spas and wide vistas, however. Word is that zombies have taken over the slopes (theatrically speaking, of course). Zombie Hunter is an interactive experience designed to engage visitors in waging war against the creeps, to help save the human race in a fast-paced endof-the-world adventure. Special Mountain Forces driving army trucks will take you up the mountain to where a village of zombies holds out. The Zombie Hunter lets you operate the mounted paintball guns to eliminate the unarmed zombies, both live and animated. Your tour of duty lasts about 45 minutes and costs $20. Meanwhile, the buzz of ziplining challenges you to mount the staging platform, get yourself buckled up and leap into the wild blue. With a fantastic view of the tree-covered territory, you can literally

fly through the air, suspended from a cable by only a nylon strap. Yikes! Featuring five miles of ziplines, some almost 600 feet above the ground, New York Zipline Adventure Tours (NYZAT) offer a thrill a second “from a point where only birds have gone before.” NYZAT runs two basic tours: The MidMountain tour zips above the canopy of trees, making it the most exciting leafpeeper opportunity around. Located in the forest above the Base Lodge, the Mid-Mountain tour utilizes a series of six ziplines, four suspension bridges and a rappel. This tour is suitable for families. The SkyRider, on the other hand, is the longest, fastest and highest zipline tour in North America, reachable by chairlift or off-road adventure to the top of the mountain. At a Zipline Pilot Training session, you’ll learn the required safety skills to experience 500-foot-long peakto-peak racing zips. This adrenalinepacked tour lasts three hours. Hmmm… where have we heard that before? “A three-hour tour.” Closer to the ground, the Adventure Tower outside the Base Lodge features four stories of climbing, rope bridges and cable walks for the less radical thrillseekers. Still lots of fun! Zipline tour prices run from $69 to $129. – Ann Hutton Ziplines & Zombie Hunter Wars, Saturday/Sunday, October 15/16, Hunter Mountain, 64 Klein Avenue, Hunter; (518) 263-4223, (800) 486-8376, (518) 263-4388, http://bookit.ziplinenewyork. com/res/#filter:.

3 Bardavon screens Met’s Tristan und Isolde

WILL DENDIS | ALMANAC WEEKLY

One of the friends of Rufus Wainwright’s youth and early music-club career in Montreal was rocker Melissa Auf der Maur, cofounder and director of Basilica Hudson (pictured above).

EVENT

BASILICA HUDSON TO HOST BENEFIT CONCERT & CONVERSATION WITH RUFUS WAINWRIGHT

The Bardavon kicks off the 2016/17 season of The Met: Live in HD in grand fashion on Saturday, October 15 at 1 p.m. at the namesake theater in Poughkeepsie. Featured is a new production of Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde, conducted by Sir Simon Rattle in his first Live in HD performance. Nina Stemme stars as Isolde. Her Tristan is Australian heldentenor Stuart Skelton, who sang Siegmund in the Met’s Ring cycle in 2013. The cast also includes Ekaterina Gubanova as Brangäne and Evgeny Nikitin as Kurwenal (both in Met role debuts), with René Pape reprising King Marke, a role that he has sung to acclaim in three previous Met seasons. One half-hour prior to curtain time, ticketholders are invited to enjoy an insightful talk at the Bardavon on the day’s production led by Leslie Gerber, who is a music teacher at Marist’s Center for Lifetime Studies and author of all Hudson Valley Philharmonic playbill liner notes. Tickets for Tristan und Isolde cost $28 general admission, $26 for Bardavon members and $20 for children aged 12 and under. They are available at the Bardavon box office at 35 Market Street in Poughkeepsie, (845) 473-2072; at the UPAC box office at 601 Broadway in Kingston, (845) 339-6088; or through Ticketmaster at (800) 745-3000 or www. ticketmaster.com.

Live Music at The Falcon

arger-than-life singer/songwriter Rufus Wainwright has a lot of historical connections to the Hudson Valley. He was born at Northern Dutchess Hospital in Rhinebeck 1973, when his parents, folkie superstars Loudon Wainwright III and the late Kate McGarrigle, were living in Mount Tremper. He discovered his love for opera and theater – and also came to terms with the fact that he was gay – while a prep school student at the Millbrook School in the 1980s. But mostly he grew up in his mother’s native city of Montreal, after his parents’ divorce. He still retains dual Canadian/American citizenship. One of the friends of Rufus Wainwright’s youth and early music-club career in Montreal was rocker Melissa Auf der Maur, who is now firmly anchored in our region as co-founder and director of Basilica Hudson. Her old pal will be the second guest in Basilica’s biennial Pioneering People Series, a combination of concert and conversation scheduled for Saturday, October 22 in the huge converted industrial space in Hudson. It’s also a fundraising event, marking the milestone that Basilica has just been conferred formal 501 (c) (3) not-for-profit organization status. The unifying topic of Auf der Maur’s onstage interview of Wainwright will be “Artistic Freedom and Creative Paths.” The two indie artists share a strong connection to their home city and to the national values that make the arts an integral part of the social fabric of Canada, well-supported by the government and the general public. Two weeks out from the US presidential election, they will ponder the existential question of what role the arts can and should play in these turbulent times. Wainwright’s performance on grand piano at Basilica promises take the crowd back to his roots of raw, intimate performances in Montreal’s dark piano bars decades ago: a monumental period of creative freedom when he and Auf der Maur both found themselves and their voices in music. The show will provide the audience with a stark juxtaposition to Wainwright’s extravagant performances reenacting a historic Judy Garland concert at Carnegie Hall with full orchestra, touring with his first opera, Prima Donna, and his most recent album Take All My Loves: 9 Shakespeare Sonnets. He’s currently working on a new opera commissioned by the Canadian Opera Company on the subject of the Emperor Hadrian: a guy who built a yooooge wall intended to keep unwanted immigrants out of Roman Britain. Expect some topical parallels to be drawn. Even if all you know of Rufus Wainwright’s work is the fact that he sang the version of Leonard Cohen’s classic “Hallelujah” that was used in the movie Shrek, this should be a fascinating evening’s worth of powerful, heartfelt music and smart, probing talk about creativity and culture, politics and self-expression. The show starts at 8 p.m., and ticket prices range from $45 to $250. They can be ordered at http://bit.ly/2dUgmqP. Visit http://basilicahudson.org for additional information. Basilica Hudson is located at 110 South Front Street, near the waterfront in the City of Hudson. – Frances Marion Platt

Palace of printmaking Monoprint Invitational Exhibition at refurbished Woodstock School of Art

uilt of local bluestone in the 1930s to house the Woodstock Resident Work Center – an offshoot of Eleanor Roosevelt’s Val-Kill Industries designed to turn youth rendered unemployable by the Great Depression into skilled woodworkers, ironsmiths and weavers – the Woodstock School of Art (WSA) has a rich history as a crucible of creativity. Its venerable printmaking and workson-paper studios recently underwent a massive and costly renovation, and are now restored to their early glory when they were the upstate home-away-fromhome of the Arts Students’ League. Historic presses have been repaired, cleaned up and brought back into active use. With a dream to turn the campus into a regional center for printmaking education for students and a resource for professional artists, WSA printmaking instructor Kate McGloughlin brought master printers Anthony Kirk, Lisa Mackie and Kathy Caraccio to Woodstock in July to work with 43 artists to create prints in the exciting and spontaneous medium of monoprint. The weeklong marathon that

inaugurated the refurbished workspace, dubbed the Woodstock Monoprint Invitational, involved such stellar names in the field as Milton and Shirley Glaser, Mariella Bisson, Mary Frank, Donald Elder, Richard Segalman and Julio Valdez. Printmaking students at WSA, recruited from local high schools and SUNY-Ulster, were paired with the master printers to act as lab assistants as part of their professional training as graphics technicians. Each participating artist created a suite of prints and donated one to the school to benefit the Building Fund. The works selected comprise the Woodstock Monoprint Invitational Exhibition, opening with a reception from 3 to 5 p.m. this Saturday, October 15 in the Robert H. Angeloch Gallery. The exhibit will remain open to the public through December 17. It’s a great opportunity both to enjoy some new art made using old technology and to check out the magic wrought at WSA by Marilyn Kaplan of Preservation Architecture and JOB Construction. Admission to the Woodstock Monoprint Invitational Exhibition is free. The

To maintain individual autonomy, they split their workspace evenly down the middle, with one side being Wayne’s territory and the other being Laura’s. The invisible Wall is the dividing line between their two art worlds, which they will mimic in the Muroff-Kotler exhibition.

Mimi Graminski installation in Rhinebeck About her mixed-media installation titled His Eyes Were So Blue, Mimi Graminski writes, “I am often inspired by materials – the sensuous colors of fabrics, translucent vellum, wispy wool threads. I see my studio as a laboratory where I collect disparate specimens and then manipulate and transform them, sometimes contrasting them with unlikely pairings... The work appears to be fragile, but actually has an inherent strength.” Juxtaposing unusual materials with traditional handcrafts, Graminski creates site-specific installations for galleries, public and alternative spaces and museums. Her work often speaks to “the intersection of feminism and femininity, the place where strength and delicacy exist on the same plane.” In previous shows, Graminski has collaborated with poets and other artists to present multimedia performance pieces. In her current exhibit at the Betsy Jacaruso Gallery in Rhinebeck, the artist offers sculpted forms of lightweight materials, such as flexible screen, translucent vellum and sheer fabric. Graminski has exhibited at the Pratt/ Munson Williams Proctor Gallery, the Abecedarian Gallery in Colorado, the Sam Houston University Gallery in Texas and in New York at the Seligmann Center for Surrealism, the Samuel Dorsky Museum, the Islip Museum and the Katonah Museum. Betsy Jacaruso Gallery hours are Thursday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and by appointment or chance. Graminski’s work will be exhibited from October 1 through 30, with a reception scheduled for Saturday, the 15th.

Celebrating ten years of arts and entertainment events at the venue where history was once made, Bethel Woods has expanded its educational offerings to include a series of speakers and panelists who will “explore the power and possibilities of the arts, inspiring audiences to think critically and provoking them to become engaged members of our communities.” WoodsTalk: Live brings poets and artists to the stage to delve into the arts and humanities, often revisiting the music and art scene of the 1960s and relating lessons of the past to their relevancy now. “Poetry & Power” launched this fall with poet and spoken-word performer Roger Bonair-Agard. With three books of poetry and a twice-won championship of the National Poetry Slam in his pocket, this Cave Canem fellow, writer-in-residence with VisionIntoArt and poet-in-residence with Young Chicago Authors brought his thoughts to bear in work that was inspired by the Museum’s special exhibit, “Rights, Race & Revolutions: A Portrait of LIFE in 1960s America by Grey Villet.” On Friday, October 14 at 6 p.m., Bethel Woods will host Elana Bell, whose debut collection of poetry titled Eyes, Stones was selected as the winner of the 2011 Walt Whitman Award from the Academy of American Poets. The recipient of grants and fellowships from the Jerome Foundation, the Edward Albee Foundation and the Brooklyn Arts Council, Bell brings her complex heritage as the granddaughter of Holocaust survivors to consider the difficult question of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. Through her poetry, performances and talks, Bell builds bridges of understanding and acceptance, creating a space where “all people’s voices and stories are heard and deeply valued.” She, too will read work inspired by the Grey Villet exhibition. As will poet Sean Thomas Dougherty, when he takes the stage on Friday, November 18 at 6 p.m. Dougherty was a high school dropout raised by an African-American father and a mother of Moldovan Jewish descent, who lived in blue-collar neighborhoods and soaked up the working-class sounds and sights surrounding him. The author of multiple books of poetry and performer at literally hundreds of venues across North America and Europe, he has received a Fulbright Lectureship in the Balkans, two Pennsylvania Council for the Arts Fellowships and no fewer than nine nominations for the Pushcart Prize. The WoodsTalk: Live Poetry & Power series will culminate with an event on Sunday, December 18 at 6 p.m. “Inspired Words” will showcase the poetry of audience members who have been moved by the exhibits and the Museum at Bethel Woods to express themselves through the written word. Join these and other live conversations where music and the value of arts and humanities will be discussed in ways that awaken the lessons of the past to their relevancy today. – Ann Hutton WoodsTalk: Live Poetry & Power Series, $10, Conservatory at Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, 200 Hurd Road, Bethel; (866) 781-2922, info@bethelwoodscenter.org, www.bethelwoodscenter.org.

conversation between two people. Each character needs to have a clear, distinct and separate voice, personality and physicality, not to mention the range of accents I have to cover in the course of the evening: British, Swiss, German, French, as well as creating a totally unique voice for the Creature, who’s been cobbled together from body parts (including his vocal apparatus) and utterly deformed by the thunderstorm during his creation, and who needs to learn how to make all these elements work together as a whole in order to even be able to speak. Yeah, it’s a challenge. You mentioned that your having done this play previously is helpful. Has your approach to the material changed? If so, how different will your embodiment of the role be this time around?

TONY FIORILLO

Steven Patterson in Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus

Creature discomforts Bridge Street presents a solo reanimation of Frankenstein

ith the exceptions of Lazarus and, later, of Jesus himself, the shambling Creature created by Victor Frankenstein from the wormy remnants of exhumed corpses is the best-known embodiment of resurrection of the dead in Western culture. Since the publication of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus in 1818, a multitude of movies and stage plays based upon or adapted from the novel has left an indelible mark in the collective consciousness, with actors ranging from Colin Clive to Kenneth Branagh portraying the ill-starred scientist, and actors from Boris Karloff to Benedict Cumberbatch portraying his Creature. Beginning Thursday, October 13, a singular adaptation of Shelley’s tale by Jim Helsinger will receive eight performances at the Bridge Street Theatre Mainstage in

Catskill. “Singular,” because Helsinger’s version, which premiered at Florida’s Orlando Shakespeare Theater in 1998, is written for one actor, who plays Victor, the Creature and six other characters over the course of an hour and 45 minutes. The actor who will dare this literal and figurative monster of a role is Steven Patterson, associate director of Bridge Street Theatre. Patterson is no stranger to daunting roles. He recently played King Lear at Indiana’s Richmond Shakespeare Festival, and he has done virtuoso turns in solo performances based on the Epic of Gilgamesh and the life of Jean Genet, respectively. Even so, this role – which he has inhabited before, at a revival of the play by the Orlando Shakespeare Theater in 2006 – is particularly challenging. We recently exchanged a bevy of e-mails in which Patterson spoke about the physical and mental demands of the play, as well as

What does it mean to be a parent? What responsibilities do you have to your child, your creation?

the apparently deathless nature of Mary Shelley’s story and the various ways it has been interpreted and reinterpreted over the years in film, on stage and in other media. An edited transcript of our cyberconversation follows:

Performing a one-person, multi-character

show is somewhat akin to running a marathon. How do you prepare (or train) to deal with issues of stamina or sustaining the overall tone and tempo of the piece?

FINAL WEEKEND! OCT. 13, 14, 15, 16

I think any time you get to revisit a role the approach always winds up being different, because you’re not the same person you were the first time you did it. In this case, I’m a whole decade older, and the life experiences I’ve had in the interim can’t help but alter my perspective on the piece. All acting is about constant exploration, constant experimentation, trying things, seeing what seems to work best. In that way, it’s sort of like the themes of Frankenstein itself: Walton’s quest to discover what lies at the North Pole and his vision of a new Utopia there, Victor’s personal mission to smash beyond the boundaries of death itself and, most especially, the Creature’s tortured search to find out who he is, where he’s come from, what his place is in the world (or if he even has one). For an actor, I think each time one goes into a rehearsal or steps in front of an audience, it’s an attempt to dive ever-deeper into the secrets of the human heart and to share those secrets, whether they’re full of wonder or full of darkness, with others who are also struggling with what it means to be human.

The sheer amount of memorization is certainly the most daunting element, particularly for someone of my age. The fact that I’ve performed the piece a decade ago certainly helps, at least psychologically. Physically – well, I am ten years older than when I did this last and it just about killed me then, so we’ll see whether I survive this run or not. The other challenge of this piece is that I have to play eight different characters, and on occasion hold up both ends of a

Many commentators have noted that the Creature is a classic representation of the Other, one that resonates with many issues germane to our time, such as racism, homophobia and xenophobia. Have you found that to be something you can work with? Oh, yeah. The Creature’s status as “Other” is definitely what gives this piece so much of its timelessness. The murderous rage the character develops is a direct result of being abandoned, disowned by his own creator, his parent, and of his treatment by a society that sees only what it perceives as his hideous outside and has little or no interest in the essential humanity he feels inside. He can

October 13, 2016 only be treated as “subhuman” for so long before coming to the conclusion that there is absolutely no benefit in attempting to behave in a rational and “civilized” manner and lashing out at those who have treated him so badly. When one is continually victimized by the prevailing social order, why should they have any interest in upholding or playing by the rules of that social order? And we certainly see that played out across all the issues you’ve mentioned. The idea of parental abandonment as one of the animating forces of the story is a rich one to explore. A few years back, in an essay in The New Republic, Ruth Franklin pointed out that Mary Shelley was pregnant at the time she wrote Frankenstein, and had already suffered the birth and death of a baby. Franklin wrote, “Could the novel – commonly understood as a fable of masculine reproduction, in which a man creates life asexually – also be a story about pregnancy?” For me, the most powerful element of the story – the one that really connected to the student audiences I played to when I did the show in Orlando – is that of parental responsibility, neglect and abuse. What does it mean to be a parent? What responsibilities do you have to your child, your creation? What happens if you do not fulfill those responsibilities? Does a lack of parental love and support justify revenge or attempting to seize that love, no matter what the cost? How many of the crimes committed today are crimes that develop from parental neglect or abuse? Should the Creature ultimately be held responsible for his crimes? The issue of scientific hubris, of humans playing God, has long been central to the story’s durability, its relevance to succeeding generations of readers and/or film- and theatergoers. Your thoughts on that? The ethical implications of scientific advancement are always timely. How will that knowledge be applied? Will the good that comes from these new discoveries outweigh the destructive or morally ambiguous (or downright evil) purposes for which those discoveries might be used? Experiments being performed in altering genetic codes in plants, in animals and in humans may produce short-term benefits, but what are the long-term implications – physical, moral and ethical – to which these processes may be put? How will our tinkering play out over the course of the next generations? What happens when we have the capability to breed human beings selectively, to completely

ALMANAC WEEKLY eliminate qualities we might find “ugly” or “unpleasant”? I shudder at the answer to those questions. A final one: How different are the characterizations of Victor and the Creature in this play from the way they appear in the many movie versions? Do you think the audience will come away with a whole new sense of them? There have been so many versions of this story in so many media. James Whale’s film versions for Universal back in the 1930s and Boris Karloff ’s magnificent characterization in those films have been most responsible for cementing an image of the story in the public’s imagination. Wonderful as those films are, they have little to do with Mary Shelley’s original intentions. There’s a slightly campy edge to them that, while delightful in context, really lets audiences off the hook, allowing them to view it all as a slightly silly, scary story without having to think about the deeper ethical and moral issues it raises. In that sense, I think audiences will find this version even scarier than they might expect – something far more personal and relatable, and therefore far more frightening, than the square-headed, neck-bolted version they’re used to. This one’s definitely not G-rated. I’d recommend that parents with impressionable youngsters might want to leave them at home; there are elements in this version that could be really disturbing to them. That said, adult audiences can expect to discover an emotional connection to this story and these characters that I doubt they’ve previously experienced when approaching Frankenstein.

Troubled upbringing Carole Kane directs Geraldine Hughes in Belfast Blues at SUNY-New Paltz this weekend

While the Department of Theatre Arts at SUNY-New Paltz does quite a creditable job of producing its own regular season of plays, directed by

professors and acted and crewed by students, it also has a long history of playing host to touring performances by well-known theatrical professionals. One of the latter hits town this weekend, with two shows on the New Paltz campus of Belfast Blues, a onewoman play written and performed by Irish stage and screen star Geraldine Hughes. Developed in collaboration with Kim Terrell and the Virtual Theatre Project in 2003, Belfast Blues is a tapestry of stories told from Hughes’ perspective as a little girl coming of age in war-torn Northern Ireland in the 1980s, trying to live a normal life amidst violent clashes between Catholic and Protestant partisans. Born in West Belfast, Hughes is probably bestknown in the US for her roles as Marie in the sixth Rocky movie, Rocky Balboa, and as Mary Todd Lincoln in the TV movie Killing Lincoln. Her Broadway credits include Jerusalem, Translations and Cyrano de Bergerac. What’s particularly intriguing about this production of Belfast Blues, however, is the director: the iconic character actress Carol Kane. TV fans know her as Simka on Taxi and as Lillian on Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt; moviegoers may recall her Oscar-nominated starring role in

Understudy to greatness Stepping into Nicola Sheara's hard-to-fill shoes at TheaterSounds Asked to do a reading with TheaterSounds, my response was, “Yes!” With Nicola Sheara (pictured above) at the helm, those readings mean good scripts, excellent actors and an enthusiastic full house. On September 24, TheaterSounds presented the final performance of its 16 th season at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of the Catskills (UCC). Nicola called me to direct that performance. Nicola was to perform the lead in the reading. When I arrived for rehearsal, she asked that I step into her shoes. They were big shoes to fill. As the audience settled in for the reading, Nicola was walked up the aisle by John, her son, to introduce what she announced was perhaps the last performance of this company that has inspired the full houses of UCC for 150 performances. She made this announcement and returned to a zero-gravity chair for the first act, as the audience gave her a standing ovation. Nicola’s career encompasses the larger world of Broadway and beyond. Since moving to Glenford, her work extended to her neighbors in the Catskills. She was recently noted for her brilliant directing of the production of Good People at Performing Arts of Woodstock. She received an ASKER award from the Arts Society of Kingston for Excellence in Theater. Through TheaterSounds, this community gained access to the words of recent Broadway plays and new play premieres, sprinkled with some older, better-known works. As Nicola noted in her program, TheaterSounds is “dedicated to the concept that the mind is the best stage. TheaterSounds has no budget constraints, no restrictions on scenery, costumes or props, because all of these things are created in the imagination of the audience.” By intermission, Nicola moved to the green room. She had listened from the makeshift bed in the sanctuary as we rehearsed, so she knew that the performance would be sound. The performance was electric. It reminded me of my experiences as a child visiting African American churches in the South, the audience vocally responding to the words from the stage. It reminded me of life as a preacher’s kid. Those vivid experiences with my Dad in churches helped me understand how these connections were our reasons to exist, and sharing a powerful moment is how we can sustain vitality in this life. The yearning for those moments propelled me into a career as a performing artist. Even from behind the audience in another room, Nicola could hear the long, loud response at the reading’s end. I got to stand and bow in the warm light of that appreciative crowd with my fellow actors. But we knew that they were also applauding the woman lying in the dark behind that audience, who had given them so many of these vital moments that sustained them for so many years. – Marnie Andrews

9 GUESTS AT such a wedding in the 18th century were expected to leave a monetary gift that the bridal couple would give to the poor.

Something old Reformed Dutch Church of Poughkeepsie reenacts 1733 wedding on Saturday

he Reformed Dutch Church of Poughkeepsie will celebrate its 300th anniversary this year by reenacting an 18th-century Dutch wedding held there on September 21, 1733. Parishioners (and already married) Meg and Brendan Boyce will portray the bride and groom, Cathrena Lewis Van Kleeck and Francis Filkin. And just as at the original ceremony, guests will enjoy a reception afterward. The event, open to all, will be held on Saturday, October 15 at 3 p.m. There is no admission charge, but free-will offerings are appreciated. The Reformed Church chose to honor its 1716 founding in this unique way because weddings are both religious and community events, reflective of the role that the church still plays in the lives of its parishioners today, says Anne Atherton, longtime member of the church. “We did this the first time seven years ago, as part of the Hudson/Champlain Quadricentennial. We’re celebrating our history, but we want to share it with the community because we’re a part of the community, and the community is part of the church.” The pastor of the 1733 marriage ceremony in Poughkeepsie will be portrayed by Rev. Dr. E. Robert Geehan, with Robert Gensler serving as reader. There will be a display of church artifacts in a room that adjoins the area for the reception, or “collation,” afterward. A collation – from Medieval Latin for “light meal” and also interpreted sometimes as “bringing together” – was the Dutch term for the particular type of celebration enjoyed after weddings. According to information compiled by the church, the bridal party and guests at the Filkin wedding in 1733 would have returned to the bride’s parents’ home for a “collation” after a marriage ceremony lasting some four hours. The “light meal” served to them at a table elaborately decorated with a lot of greens and flowers would have included many cookies, sugared cake, prunes and almonds along with a hippocras, or spiced wine. The wedding between Cathrena Lewis Van Kleeck and Francis Filkin doesn’t have a particular significance to the church’s history, says Atherton, but their wedding was chosen for the reenactment because the couple were both from prominent families of the time. “It would have been an upper-class wedding. Van Kleeck was a widow; her first husband was Peter Van Kleeck, and when he died, she married Francis Filkin.” Guests at such a wedding in the 18th century were expected to leave a monetary

BOOK

Slide lecture on Borscht Belt history at SUNY-New Paltz

nce upon a time, not so very long ago, only very wealthy people could afford to hop on a plane and fly to Florida for a vacation. From the 1920s through the boom years of the 1950s and a little beyond, middle-class Jews fled New York City’s summer heat to enjoy abundant kosher cuisine and up-and-coming comedy stars in the hotels and bungalow colonies of the Catskills. The destination that came to be known as the Borscht Belt swiftly lost its clientele in the 1970s and ’80s as air travel became more affordable, and little is left today of the area’s once-busy venues. Photographer Marisa Scheinfeld, who grew up in the Catskills, has been haunting what remains of the Borscht Belt – resorts that lie in ruins, are abandoned, converted into something else or in a few cases still operating – capturing large-scale color images of lobbies, pools, dining rooms, guestrooms, showrooms and stages. In support of her new book, The Borscht Belt: Revisiting the Remains of America’s Jewish Vacationland, Scheinfeld will be giving a slide talk and booksigning on Saturday in College Theater, Room 108 on the SUNY-New Paltz campus, sponsored by the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art.

gift that the bridal couple would give to the poor. In the evening, an elaborate twocourse wedding dinner was served to as many as 50 guests – the parents could be fined if there were more people than that in attendance, but that rule was rarely reinforced – and a fiddler and/or bagpiper provided live music for dancing. Parties and visits were held for up to three weeks after the wedding, and on the Sunday after the wedding, the bride and groom would attend church in their wedding clothes, arriving late so that they could be admired by the congregation in all their wedding regalia. The bridal couple would plant lily-of-the-valley outside their home so that they could remember their wedding every year. On Sunday, October 16, the day

Shana Falana at BSP in Kingston

hen music really started getting cool around here, the San Francisco- and Brooklyn-scene transplant Shana Falana was at the head of it, alternating between a visceral punkish and poppy trio (but still strangely euphonious, always euphonious) and the early iterations of what has become her “thing”: a duo with drums; loop-driven and layered to the legal limit; stacked voices and creamy distorted guitars woven in complex melodic drones, riffs and massive, ecstatic hooks; loosely synched to do-it-yourself video projections, turning any dive bar you can name into a psychedelic portal, but a timeless and therapeutic psychedelia – nothing paisley or retro-stylized about it. You could start in the back, with folded arms and a tart, hoppy craft brew, the skeptic stance: Loops, you say, and projections? Yawn, right? That old new 2000s thing? But no. Soon enough you would just fall into the masterfully architected swirl, unless your heart was as

hard and small as a dry acorn. Because the music. Falana didn’t perform so much as get whole-self involved in her busywork, her thing: an organically consistent feel for layering sound and for the arc of a modern song, her own harmonic language and sonic toolset. And that – the music and its making – was the part that that made the lightly theatrical presentation so arresting and cool.

What do I mean by “cool”? What does anyone ever mean by it? It is among the most problematic of words, and it gets my vote for the most tyrannical and emotionally vexing. Ah, the paradoxes of cool: You can’t say what it is, but you know it when you see it. It is ubiquitous, but never exactly where and what you think it will be. It draws attention and perishes under the weight of it: As soon as you know you’re cool, you’re probably not so very cool anymore. It is entirely subjective, and yet most people can agree on it. We are the willing victims of cool. We probably should give it up for our health, but we can’t. On Falana’s stunning, heavy voyage of a new record Here Comes the Wave, she hurls herself into the paradoxes and traumas of cool in the signature song “Cool Kids,” a series of broad-stroke and didactic

assurances and koans for young people, set to a clean and memorable melody and Falana’s trademark euphonious drive. Hey, Shana, it seems to me that the “cool kids” you are addressing are not the socially authenticated ones, secure in their validated identities, but almost the opposite: searchers, geeks and outsiders hungering for community – very much your sense of yourself at a younger age.

October 13, 2016 paradoxical as the word “cool” itself, but it seems to be about self-love and honoring your passion and finding your tribe, wherever it may be. In it, you quote Joseph Campbell’s famous directive, “Follow your bliss.” First off, I love you that you referenced Joseph Campbell. He’s a huge part of my spiritual growth in my youth. My intentions are really to acknowledge what I already see happening: kids coming out of their shells, people letting themselves dream big and follow a more creative career path. There’s more room now for everyone to be weird, be a nerd, struggle with social awkwardness but still get out to shows. I’m inspired by the courage people have to expose their true selves and not want to fit in, not want to look the same as their friends, to feel like they will be safe dressing in drag at a straight bar. I was the kid at school with bright ‘80s clothes and side ponytails, and I really got made fun of. I have always been uncool, afraid of the pretty, skinny, tan, straightlooking cool kids. I really had to go out and find “my people,” and it took a while. But if you know what I’m talking about, and if you’ve finally found “your people,” then you know how special it is – that instant love and connection. You feel like you’re part of a team, and together we can go do anything; and we did. We ran DIY scenes in San Francisco in the early-to-late ‘90s. My group was filled with every type of person: Burning Man types, jocks, punks, skateboarders, nerdy girls, people that were straightedge, people that weren’t…everyone. We created a huge family called the “Castle Kids” [the title of another standout track on Here Comes the Wave]. It was in that world that I learned what a supportive community was. You’ve spoken a lot about the duality of this record, how it was really written by two of you. About half of the songs were written in New York City a number of years ago, when you were battling serious addiction and in lots of trouble. A horrific workplace accident cost you half a finger, and on that very day you had driven to work with cassettes by two finger-compromised guitarists – Django Reinhardt and Jerry Garcia – on the car seat next to you. You received some settlement money for the accident, and even though your demons were in full force at the time, the money allowed to take almost two years to write the songs that comprise half of Here Comes the Wave. The other half – the mature, new songs – look back across the abyss of addiction and recovery with some nice perspectives for your younger self. Old self is angry, old self is haunted, old self is melancholy, homesick, lovesick, searching for the light. New self is direct, upbeat, self-assured, doesn’t care so much about the drama of life, wants to get on

ALMANAC WEEKLY with the damn thing. “Follow your bliss” was my path, which eventually led me to get sober almost seven years ago this December. There’s no right or wrong, good and bad; there’s just experience. It is pretty and dreamy as ever, but Here Comes the Wave is really, really a rock record: heavy, even punishing at times, streaked with squalls of dissonance and dark magic. The track “Lie 2 Me” is its darkest place, and it dwells there for a long time. You obsess over that single phrase until I start to as well, ha ha. What are you talking about there? “Lie 2 Me” is sinister. It’s me having a conversation with the “source”: God, or the Muse. I was told that if I moved to New York and pursued music, that I would have a career. I got sober as well for the music. The Muses told me to get sober, told me to move to New York. It’s the anger that an artist struggles with in their career. You hit walls and it pisses you off, especially if you’ve put everything you have into it: relationships, money, sleepless days, you name it. I’ve felt lost in this pursuit many times, felt led somewhere and then abandoned. It’s tough, especially if you feel like you’re owed something. I’ve moved past this now, but it feels good to sing this one. I love remembering how far I’ve come and that it’s okay to flip off your god sometimes. Can I tell you that, while I dig the outtake track “Ocean” from the Velvet Underground’s record Loaded, I think your version on this record really defines the song for me? Just absolutely gorgeous. Tell me about that choice, and what role it plays thematically on the record. Aw, thanks so much! I’ve done this cover for a while. It’s one that I feel like I do better than Lou :) I believed in it, too. I sang it really close to the mic and quiet in the last minute, because the lyrics are so weird to sing that I wanted them to be lighter and less important, rather than singing them heavy and dark, adding to their mood. I also love two- and threepart songs. I love playing that lead guitar part at the end, blowing it out; I love the lushness of it all, I love [drummer Mike Amari’s] simplistic beat and heavy-ride cymbal crashes. I’m really proud of this, and I wish Lou was still alive to hear it. It was added because the lyric “Here Comes the Wave” is so symbolic to me – Album Number Two crashing in: Be a power of example, do your work, keep going. There’s magic on the other side. Here Comes the Wave, Shana Falana’s second record made in collaboration with drummer Mike Amari and producer D. James Goodwin, is due out on October 21 on the New Paltz-headquartered boutique label Team Love Records. Falana celebrates the release with a show at her home den, BSP in Kingston, on Friday, October 21 at 9 p.m. Her pals Monogold

Down the rabbit hole of time New York Theatre Ballet presents vaudeville-style Alice-inWonderland Follies at Kaatsbaan Would you like to expose your children to some family-friendly classical dance that isn’t the usual Christmastime fare? Or are you interested in experiencing – not just reading about – the wide variety of styles of live stage performances typical of different historical periods? The Kaatsbaan International Dance Center in Tivoli has a charming treat in store for you on Saturday, as it hosts the New York Theatre Ballet’s Alice-in-Wonderland Follies. For 35 years, the New York Theatre Ballet (NYTB) has produced, for adult and family audiences, dozens of classic masterpieces and contemporary ballets, including dances by Frederick Ashton, Merce Cunningham, Agnes de Mille, José Limón and Antony Tudor. But for Follies, the troupe takes a detour into the world of vaudeville. The adventures of Alice, the White Rabbit, the Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter and company are staged as they might have been performed at New York’s Palace Theater in 1915, set to rags, waltzes, marches and turn-of-the-century popular tunes, including a tap-danced rendition of “Jabberwocky.” Choreographer Keith Michael has woven together a dance fabric that includes salutes to Balanchine, Ziegfeld and several classic Broadway shows. Complete with period costumes and scenery, The Alice-in-Wonderland Follies sounds like an enjoyable romp that will immerse the audience in a vanished era of live “music hall” entertainment while putting a novel spin on familiar literary material. If you don’t have a kid handy to take along, grab a friend with a taste for theatrical nostalgia. The show begins at 11 a.m. on Saturday, October 15 at Kaatsbaan, located at 120 Broadway in Tivoli. Tickets cost only $10 for adults, $5 for children. To order tickets or for information, call

(845) 757-5106, extension 10 or 2, or visit www.kaatsbaan.org.

Poughkeepsie kicks off Big Read with Bardavon concert & screening The Poughkeepsie Public Library District [PPLD] is set to launch the Mid-Hudson region’s communitywide Big Read program with a kickoff event this Friday evening. Celebrating ten years of participation in the program funded by the National Endowment for the Arts, PPLD has coordinated with other Hudson Valley libraries, school districts, colleges and arts and literacy organizations to engage readers in focused attention on one particular title out of a suggested selection of 28. Five weeks of regionwide events are then planned around the chosen book. Luís Alberto Urrea’s novel Into the Beautiful North is this year’s pick for Poughkeepsie. It’s a story of family, friendship and community pride. Two cultures meet when a young woman living and working in a Mexican village dreams about her father, who migrated to the US years before. When she notices that her town has, in fact, lost most of its menfolk to this exodus, she decides to travel north herself – not to make a new life for herself, but rather to recruit her own band of siete magníficos to repopulate the village, Tres Camarones, and protect it. Her quest takes her into California and as far as Illinois, where she discovers that her father has a new family. Award-winning author Luís Alberto Urrea is also wrote The Devil’s Highway, The Hummingbird’s Daughter and Across

the Wire. In 2001, he was inducted into the Latino Literary Hall of Fame. Into the Beautiful North is a feel-good tale that will inspire readers and provoke interesting discussions about ethnicity, immigration and justice. Urrea will speak at the Boardman Road Branch Library at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, October 29. The kickoff at the Bardavon 1869 Opera House at 7 p.m. on Friday, October 14 will introduce the theme for this year’s Big Read book selection with a miniconcert of Mexican music from the local group Banda Vientos de México. And when the mood is set, there will be a screening of the original version of the film The Magnificent Seven – the one with all the usual suspects from 1960s Hollywood casting call lists: Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson, James Coburn and other macho men. Tickets to the Bardavon event cost $6 unless you have a library card – your free pass to literature and to the screening. The NEA Big Read is sponsored locally by the Norman and Jeannie Greene Fund, Salisbury Bank, Hudson Valley Federal Credit Union and the Friends of PPLD. Books for younger readers are also available at your local libraries. – Ann Hutton NEA Big Read Kickoff, Friday, October 14, 7 p.m., $6, Bardavon 1869 Opera House, 36 Market Street, Poughkeepsie; (845) 485-3445, extension 3702, www. poklib.org.

Last call on the Hudson

Smorgasburg Upstate wraps up season in Kingston this Saturday

n the bank of the Hudson River in Kingston, the air is alive with chattering crowds, laughing children and softly strumming guitars. Leashed dogs stop to exchange a curious sniff, shoppers inspect vintage dresses and mid-century chairs and the mingled smells of freshly made foods waft through the air. Business has been steady at Smorgasburg Upstate, the popular new open-air market, but the gradual creep of colder weather is starting to show. On the gray, windy afternoon of October 1, vendors and customers alike were bundled in coats and hats, trying to stave off the chills even with hot drinks and hot food

Scenes from Smorgasburg Upstate at the old Hutton Brickyards in Kingston. The Saturday market boasts 38 food vendors and 27 handicraft and antique vendors, including both local businesses and visitors from New York City.

Though Warshafsky lives in New York City, Smorgasburg Upstate is something of a homecoming for the Woodstock native. “It was just as much of a lifestyle move as it was a business one. What better way to spend my summer weekends than to get out of the City, see my parents more and try something new?” she says.

In addition to picnic benches, features like a beanbag toss and live music invite shoppers to linger. Smorgasburg wraps up for the season after this Saturday, October 15, saying farewell to the Hutton Brickyards until next May.

in hand. Smorgasburg wraps up for the season on October 15, saying farewell to the Hutton Brickyards until next May. The Saturday market boasts 38 food vendors and 27 handicraft and antique vendors, including both local businesses and visitors from New York City. With everything from macarons to pub food to vintage odds and ends, Smorgasburg is not

your typical farmers’ market. According to representatives at M. West Holdings, the owners of the Hutton Brickyards, the first weekend had 10,000 in attendance, with subsequent weekends drawing crowds of between 1,500 and 3,000 attendees. Despite the size, vendor Rachel McPherson of Daughters Fare & Ale in Red Hook says that there are no

redundancies. McPherson, who coowns Daughters with her husband Ryan McLaughlin, says that the Smorgasburg organizers have “met with each and every one of these vendors” to avoid competition and ensure a diversity of products. Upscale deli items like duck confit and chicken liver mousse can be found at the Daughters Fare and Ale stand, while New York City’s Itsa Pizza Truck has the savory pie market cornered. Mai Warshafsky, owner of Café Warshafsky, provides Smorgasburg Upstate with a selection of buttery shortbread in flavors like rosewater, Earl Grey and – most popular of all – lavender and coconut.

City, Smorgasburg Upstate is something of a homecoming for the Woodstock native. “It was just as much of a lifestyle move as it was a business one. What better way to spend my summer weekends than to get out of the City, see my parents more and try something new?” she says, adding that, as a wholesaler, Smorgasburg Upstate is her first experience selling directly to the public. The young entrepreneur says that her favorite moments of the season were seeing two of her former teachers at the market and getting to reconnect with the community in which she grew up. “I found that people were excited to try something new and have access to products that maybe they wouldn’t

have otherwise,” says Warshafsky. “The personal exchange was very rewarding.” For McPherson as well, the sense of community was strong. Having previously

ALMANAC WEEKLY

lived and worked in Brooklyn, she saw many familiar faces from both near and far. “Everybody was curious,” McPherson says, saying that the opening weekend

in August drew huge crowds “from both sides of the river.” While Smorgasburg is in its sixth year in Brooklyn, it definitely provides something new and unique to the Hudson Valley. For customers, it’s a beautiful, semi-secluded gathering space with a bounty of food and retail options. Though they’re set apart from the busier parts of Kingston, the Hutton Brickyards are equipped with conveniences like ample parking, full restrooms and concrete floors and ramps. The site is semi-shielded from the elements by metal roofing atop the skeletal-but-sturdy beams of the old brick operations. For vendors, the venue means exposure to broader markets, but also accommodations that are hard to come by at other markets. “They have a handwashing station, ice delivery...the Smorgasburg people do their best to take care of the vendors,” says McPherson. “I thought they did a fantastic job making the venue welcoming to everyone,” says Warshafsky, who notes that Smorgasburg is “very family- and dogfriendly.” In addition to picnic benches,

features like a beanbag toss and live music invite shoppers to linger. McPherson says that the only change that she’d like to see would be later hours in the summer. “That would be a beautiful setting for evening,” she says. Equipped with string lights and open to the sky, it’s easy to imagine the Brickyard transforming into a nighttime destination. Though the first season of Smorgasburg Upstate is coming to a close, the happy vendors are ready to commit to another year. “I’m game if they are,” says Warshafsky. McPherson says that Daughters Fare and Ale has come away from this with “only positive experiences,” and that they will “absolutely” return next summer. Karl Slovin, the president of M. West Holdings, shows a similar enthusiasm for the market’s future. “Smorgasburg is a great tenant. Their vendors are amazing,” says Slovin. “The outpouring of interest in an event like Smorgasburg confirmed what I have believed about the site, the Hudson Valley and the ongoing conversation people want to have around food.” – Fiona Steacy Smorgasburg Upstate, Saturdays through October 15, 11 a.m.-5 p.m., 200 North Street, Kingston; http://upstate. smorgasburg.com.

October 13-20 Youth features at Woodstock Film Festival

Round up your crew this weekend and give them a chance to see what their peers have crafted for the 2016 Woodstock Film Festival! I caught up with Benny Rendell, age 13, whose work is included in this year’s “Youth Films – Shorts” program: “I was so excited and honored to get my two short films accepted for the 2016 Woodstock Film Festival. One is a short narrative film, Cracked, about a teen boy whose conspiracy theories may not be as far-fetched as they first seem. The second is a music video for the song ‘Listen,’ which is about teen bullying and its aftermath and which was written and performed by Archie Lewis-Harris and Maia Weiss [both 13 and from Woodstock]. It’s great that a high-profile festival like this one offers a teen program, and I’m excited to meet the other teen filmmakers. I also want to go to as many films and panels as I can during the festival and learn as much as I can from the professionals! The festival is also running a Career Day for teens at Onteora School, which I have been invited to attend. It seems like Woodstock Film Festival really encourages young filmmakers!” The youth film screenings take place on Friday, October 14 at 7 p.m. at the Bearsville Theater, admission costs $10 per person.

The brand-new American Center for Folk Music will celebrate its official opening this Sunday afternoon with an all-star concert in Beacon. Established one year ago to honor folk-music legends and to sustain the “folk process” as a vibrant part of American culture, ACFM's headquarters are in River House, the red “barn” building restored by Scenic Hudson in Beacon's Long Dock Park.

Passing Pete’s torch Riverfront concert this Sunday launches American Center for Folk Music in Beacon

ver since Pete Seeger set up housekeeping in Beacon many decades ago, his myriad contacts and admirers in the folk-music biz have flocked to the town as to a shrine. The Beacon Sloop Club’s riverfront hootenannies are a perennial draw for the acoustically inclined, and unplugged acts dominate the stage at the Towne Crier Café on Beacon’s main drag. It’s tough to imagine a more appropriate home base for the brand-new American Center for Folk Music (ACFM), which celebrates its official opening this Sunday afternoon with an all-star concert at Long Dock Park. Established one year ago to honor folkmusic legends and to sustain the “folk process” as a vibrant part of American culture – an ongoing and ever-evolving one, not merely a pop-culture trend of the 1960s – ACFM has found its headquarters: River House, the red “barn” building restored by Scenic Hudson in Long Dock Park. America has long had museums and Halls of Fame dedicated to the history of rock ‘n’ roll, jazz, blues, bluegrass and country music; now the

tradition that underlies them all gets its proper place. With any luck, and adequate funding support, ACFM’s Pete Seeger Education Center and Research Archive may become the sort of cultural treasuretrove and center for ethnomusicological research that the Cecil Sharpe House is to Great Britain’s traditional music legacy. In the proletarian spirit embodied by Pete, Sunday’s concert will offer free admission, but donations to benefit ACFM’s operations will of course be warmly encouraged. The lineup consists of singer/songwriter and hammer dulcimer wizard John McCutcheon; singer/ songwriter/guitarist/actor, children’s music champion and longtime Hudson Valley resident Tom Chapin; and multiple Grammy and W. C. Handy Award-winning bluesman Joe Louis Walker. The show starts at 4 p.m. on October 16, timed to follow the close of the Sloop Club’s annual Pumpkin Festival, which will be held from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the nearby Pete & Toshi Seeger Riverfront Park. In case of inclement weather, the concert will be moved indoors to the Towne Crier at 379 Main Street. For

Damsels in distress Haunted Huguenot Street tours spotlight scary situations for women in local history

ost Halloween-season tourist attractions in our region emphasize rural harvest celebrations or live dramatizations of scary screen scenarios; Historic Huguenot Street (HHS) in New Paltz adds an educational element to its popular Haunted Huguenot Street tours that compounds the creepiness factor by being steeped in documented history and hair-raising local lore. A corn maze or a slasher-movie set can be fun to visit, but you can’t beat three-century-old stone dwellings or a genuine Colonial-era graveyard for vividly chilling New England Gothic atmosphere. “Every year we strive to top the previous year’s tours,” says Kara Gaffken, director of public programming at HHS. “Huguenot Street has such a storied history that we can do this year after year. As always, these stories have roots in actual facts, fears and events from the past.” This year’s version of the tour brings guests into four historic houses while exploring the history of oppression, particularly in the case of oppressed women in the 17th through the 19th centuries. Guests will bear witness to the legendary true story of a tormented mother and an unorthodox macabre wedding ceremony, while also learning about sexist witch trials, kidnapped wives, mourning brides and the curse of infertility. Rated PG-13, special Haunted Huguenot Street nighttime tours will run on Friday and Saturday for the next three weekends: October 14 to 15, 21 to 22 and 28 to 29. Tours will depart from the DuBois Fort Visitor Center at 81 Huguenot Street on the hour beginning at 5 p.m., with the final tour each night leaving at 9 p.m. The entire street will be decorated, including a campfire, for an immersive Halloween experience. Preregistration is strongly encouraged, as these tours sell out quickly. Guests may register at www.huguenotstreet.org for $25. Without preregistration, admission costs $30 at the door.

Hymn to Her Matagiri Center in Mt. Tremper presents symposium on the Sacred Feminine this Saturday Dr. Neela Bhattacharya Saxena, professor of English and Women’s Studies at Nassau Community College, will join Dr. Andrew Cort and a lineup of other notable practitioners of the yogic tradition at a symposium being held at Matagiri Sri Aurobindo Center in Mt. Tremper this weekend. Professor Saxena’s recent book, Absent Mother God of the West: A Kali Lover’s Journey into Christianity and Judaism, is a masterpiece of scholar-

ship in which the author explores the Western Abrahamic traditions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam to discover how the divine female principle is present but not obvious or primary in these religions. Saxena comes from the Indian tradition, where the masculine and feminine, the Shiva and the Shakti, are understood as different faces of the One Divine. As a woman who grew up worshipping Kali, her observations are therefore seen from a Hindu/Buddhist Tantric perspective. Her personal quest to understand the missing Divine Feminine in Western traditions took her around the world. In that regard, Absent Mother God of the West is also a travelogue, describing the customs of ancient Greece and other historical sites

She encounters the Black Madonna in Europe and the Shekhinah in Jewish mysticism and, of course, expressions of devotion to the Virgin Mary seen in various festivals in southern Europe and Latin America. Most importantly, Saxena describes how the Mother God was effectively erased from the Western consciousness (one chapter is aptly titled “Matricide”), which led to the patriarchal monotheism practiced today throughout the world. She’s not the only scholar who has

19 delved into this matter, but her particular background gives it “fresh eyes.” She observes that patriarchal monotheism has resulted in the imbalance between humankind and nature, and notes how the absence of the divine female principle continues to impact us. She writes, “While the Western world built its empire of rationality that has led to amazing accomplishments, the psycho-spiritual price has been quite high.” Given the full scope of her investigations and the potentially disruptive conclusions that she makes, I asked how she effectively

and standing in front of a large window dissected into black rectangles and colored circles; then I spotted one peephole through which a lit diorama of incongruous subject matter can be seen. Curiosity for the impulse that chose the elements of the scene and for the overall arrangement of its pieces â&#x20AC;&#x201C; fine china, colored packaging kernels, jewels and statuary and other bits and bobs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; had this viewer wondering how often the artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother found him, as a kid, rearranging the furniture or redecorating a shelf, and asked herself the same question. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hole in the Wallâ&#x20AC;? is the work of Tony Cox.

October 13, 2016 works display a talent for embroidery and collage, always emphasizing color and an exploration of shape. Geometry is infused with sharp hues and a conglomeration of surprising materials: buttons, doilies, feathers, sticks, wire and other textiles. “His canvas pieces are organic, clean, bold and assured,” reads one press release. “For this art installation, Cox chose contemporary woven textiles from Chilewich and Old World Danishdesigned Royal Copenhagen…Cox’s art has always been methodical, but now that characteristic takes center stage.” And it’s a unique stage. Viewers stand on the sidewalk and look through a small opening, which requires a bit of moving around to see the complete interior. Ken Darmstadt, owner of the building and the first-floor business (Darmstadt Overhead Doors), saw me there and said that I should come back to see it after dark. He said that the lighting really makes it glow. So, how does one interact with the artwork? For me, this question replaced the one about its meaning – which may be what the artist intended. Without familiar prompts, you actually have to approach the installation differently from the way that you normally would in order to investigate it. You have to get up close and steal a look into a hole. You become a voyeur. I asked Cox the usual questions: What do you have to say for yourself? Do you want to tell readers about your artistry? Your inspiration? He said, “My work for the last five years is super-labor-intensive; it takes a lot of time. For this window, it made sense to create a smaller space, so you could get an intimate feeling of what I do. I thought, ‘I should make a hole in the wall’ – a phrase that has a different meaning depending on traveling to other places. A ‘hole in the wall’ means many things to different people. It could be a peep show. In London it means a teller

machine where poor people hang out and beg for money. Or a restaurant that doesn’t look fancy but has great food. “Here, it’s a matter of not knowing what you’re going to see when you look into the hole. It’s like a portal, whether realistic or from the future or from the past. Or a hybrid of both. Also, when you look into it you can only see so much; you actually get a peripheral vision. Each person's experience is different depending on their age and what gets triggered from looking through a hole in the wall. It was an experiment to work something out through a small three-dimensional realm." Cox has traveled extensively and has collected materials that are unique to their origins, which he uses to give people an idea of what these everyday items feel

and look like. “The thread has taken on an important role in my work. That goes back to my grandmother; she always sewed, made costumes for me. The staple of the work for 20 years has been thread. Hand-embroidery, not paint. That makes a huge difference in terms of the energy and time put into each piece. And color plays a super-important role, too.” When asked what inspires him, he said that he’s always inspired. “It’s a matter of having time to take these ideas and concepts and figure out which one I want to make. You have to pick and choose what you want to make, because there’s so much time and commitment, and each one of

those pieces is kind of like the passage of time. Right now everything is changing. I’m starting to work with other materials again, and in doing this window project, I’ve gotten a lot of different ideas.” Cox spent time in Spain and went to Beirut for two weeks, where, he says, the experience changed his life. “It was amazing, but hard to come back and participate in all the stuff here. It’s a beautiful place, a port into the Middle East. They have different struggles than we do. It woke me up and made me realize how lucky I am and we are.” I told him that, looking at the installation, I couldn’t figure out where

The Ulster County Lodging Coalition (UCLC) will present a variety of tourism-industry-related topics at the annual general meeting on Wednesday, October 19. Featured speakers include Mark Dorr, president of the New York State Hospitality & Tourism Association (NYSH&TA), Nicholas Antenucci, attorney for NYSH&TA, and Mary Joy Lu and Alex Catchpoole of Rail Explorers. Dorr and Antenucci are slated to present an update on New York State short-term rental market regulatory efforts. Representing nearly 1,300 member businesses and individuals in the lodging and attractions industry, NYSH&TA is actively involved in the development of state legislation to regulate the short-term rental industry. Shared-economy businesses such as Airbnb currently operate outside the local and state regulations that hotels are legally obligated to follow. Rail Explorers currently operates a railbased bike operation in Saranac Lake in the Adirondacks. The successful tourist attraction has been selected to run rail tours between Phoenicia and Boiceville, opening this spring. Rail Explorers owners Lu and Catchpoole project the tours to attract approximately 24,000 riders in 2017. The UCLC general meeting will be held on Wednesday, October 19 from 4 to 6 p.m. at the Best Western Plus, located at 503 Washington Avenue in Kingston. The agenda also includes Ulster County executive Michael Hein, who will speak to the importance of the tourism industry, as well as a presentation on 2016 visitor spending and marketing efforts by Ulster County Tourism director Rick Remsnyder. The meeting is open to all at no charge. To RSVP, e-mail Tamara Murray

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

Parading toward winter Persimmons in their prime, tomatoes played out

very morning when I throw open the door to my Duckingham Palace (a name coined by vegetable farmer Elliot Coleman for his duck house), my four ducks step out, lower their heads as if to reduce air resistance and race to the persimmon tree. They trace a large circle around the base of the tree, scooping up any fallen persimmons and, still running, gulp them down quickly enough so no other member of the brood snatches it. The circle is wide because of the low temporary fence that I’ve set up around the tree. Within the fenced area, I gather up most of the fallen fruit for myself. The ducks can’t – or haven’t figured out how to – fly over an 18-inch-high fence. My tree is an American persimmon (Diospyros virginiana), native to the Eastern US from Florida to northern Pennsylvania. Until they are deadripe, most American persimmons taste awful, with an astringency that dries out your mouth. (As Captain John Smith, of Pocahontas fame, wrote, “When a persimmon is not ripe, it will draw a man’s mouth awrie with much torment.”) Some persimmons never lose that astringency, even when ripe; and here, in the northern reaches of persimmon-growing, the season isn’t long enough to ripen most persimmons. But good persimmons, when ripe, taste like dried apricots that have been soaked in water, dipped in honey and given a dash of spice. Mine are selected varieties that ripen this far north, the first, Mohler, beginning in early September, and the second, Szukis, beginning in early October. (I grafted both varieties on one tree.) They also set fruit without the need for the separate male pollinator that most American persimmons require. I highly recommend planting an American persimmon tree. Besides bearing delicious fruit, the tree is attractive all season long and shows off its pretty bark in winter – all this without

the need for spraying or pruning. (I wrote about American persimmon in my book Uncommon Fruits for Every Garden.) As of this writing, tomato plants have not been killed by cold. But with cool weather and disease, they’re pretty much done for the season, bearing few or no fruits – that is, except for Sungold, the tastiest variety of cherry tomato. It just keeps pumping out ropes of orange fruits. I grew more than 20 varieties of tomatoes this year – all heirlooms, except for Sungold. My main criterion for planting any variety is flavor, which was very similar for certain varieties of tomato. They did differ in productivity, my second criterion for choosing a variety. So next year I plan to pare down the number of varieties that I grow to the best-tasting, most productive ones. Topping that list will be San Marzano. Right off the plant, eating one is like eating bland cotton. Thrown into a pot with a little water to prevent burning and simmered till soft, and the flavor morphs to tart, tomatoey richness. No wonder that canned San Marzano tomatoes are labeled as such in Italy. Moving on to fresh eating tomatoes: Sungold, of course, with eight plants supplying enough for grazing outdoors and salads indoors. Anna Russian, Paul Robeson and Red Brandywine all have excellent flavor and bore well and late into the season. Anna Russian is also quite good for paste. Carmello and Valencia are good-tasting tomatoes, although not as good as Anna Russian and company. I’ll grow these two because they’re also very productive, and their fruits are almost perfect spheres. Many heirloom fruits are interesting for their convoluted shapes, but sometimes I want just a standard-issue round tomato (that also tastes good). One more possible variety is from seed that a reader sent me a few years ago, a variety labeled Winterkeeper. The fruits

allegedly store very well. The plants are still growing well; soon I’ll see how long into fall I’ll be eating tomato sandwiches. Ones that I’ve already sampled have pretty good flavor. Every time I walk back to the compost bin and see the volunteer tomato vine insinuating itself out of a gap in the slats of the bin, I’m reminded of the importance of crop rotation. This vine is still lush and green, and laden with perfect red pear-shaped tomatoes. Sure, the vine could be healthy because its roots are running through the rich brown compost within the bin. Perhaps the vine is so healthy because, as a random seedling, its genetics, by lucky chance, makes it so. Most likely, this plant is so healthy and productive because it’s growing where no tomato has grown before. No disease spores linger there from previous crops of tomatoes. (The plant got a late start for the season, so its youthful vigor could also have a hand in its health.) I rotate my tomato beds every year, but that only puts them ten feet or so from beds of the previous year. That’s the problem with home gardens: It’s hard to get plants far enough away from where they recently were. Thorough cleanup and mulching help, but go only so far.

Hannah Arendt, the German-American political scholar who was perhaps the 20th century’s most eloquent and avid defender of freedom and the humanities, left a particular legacy at Bard College: Following her death in 1975, she was buried on the campus, along with her husband Heinrich Blucher, who taught Philosophy at the college for many years. The college also inherited her library, which contains more than 4,000 volumes; and half a dozen years ago Roger Berkowitz, a professor of Politics, Philosophy and Human Rights at Bard, started the Hannah Arendt Center for Politics and the Humanities, with the aim of hosting in-depth discussions about some of the most pressing issues facing society in an objective, nonpartisan framework.

EVENT

HANNAH ARENDT CENTER TO HOST “REAL TALK” CONFERENCE AT BARD

he influential German-born, Jewish American political theorist Hannah Arendt understood that as difficult and offensive as speech may be, free speech is at the heart of intellectual inquiry and political discourse: “Only in the freedom of our speaking with one another does the world, as that about which we speak, emerge in its objectivity and visibility from all sides.” In that spirit, the Hannah Arendt Center at Bard College takes on the hot-button issue of the difficulties of social and political discourse on today’s college campuses. The two-day conference, “Real Talk: Difficult Questions about Race, Sex and Religion,” asks: How can college be a safe and inclusive space for asking hard and uncomfortable questions essential to our democracy? Notable presenters include Claudia Rankine (author of Citizen: An American Lyric), National Book Award nominee Mary Gaitskill, William Deresiewicz (author of Excellent Sheep: The Miseducation of the American Elite and the Way to a Meaningful Life), Hilton Als (author of White Girls), Greg Lukianoff (president and CEO of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education), transgender performance artist Juliana Huxtable (Bard Class of ’10) and many others. “Real Talk: Difficult Questions about Race, Sex and Religion” takes place on Thursday and Friday, October 20 and 21. For a full conference schedule and bios of featured speakers, visit http://hac.bard.edu/con2016. For more information or any questions about the conference, please contact arendt@bard.edu or (845) 758-7878.

NIGHT SKY

Tormented in space Lessons in outer space bravery

e picture astronauts performing routine orbital experiments, and are also aware of tragedies like Challenger and Columbia. But life beyond Earth has often been much stranger than those extremes of normalcy versus terror. I was recently reminded of the Russian space station Mir, since this is the 20th anniversary of when US astronauts were inhabiting it, as a prelude to the International Space Station. US astronauts each spent four to six months on Mir. Some, like Shannon Lucid, had no problem. Others, like John Blaha, endured hard times – in his case, a tense relationship with the Mir commander Valeri Korzun. Often, the Russian cosmonauts themselves had very strained relationships with their own mission controllers. If they complained about genuine problems, they could easily get black evaluation marks from their ground commanders, and significant money would be deducted from their pay. It was lose/lose. US astronaut and medical doctor Jerry Linenger spent the first five months of 1997 on Mir. He arrived to find it cramped and cluttered, with equipment and cables filling every available space. Leaks kept developing in the cooling system’s corroding pipes. Drops of antifreeze and other debris polluted the air. Sleeping was usually difficult, because when the air had too much junk, everyone had to wear breathing masks. The oxygen system was taxed to its limits, so that the astronauts were often not permitted to exercise, lest they breathe too deeply. Stress levels climbed. The climate control routinely messed up for weeks at a time. As a result, the temperature remained around 90 degrees, with no relief day or night. The humidity was excessive, too, which promoted the growth of mold and bacteria all over the station. One day in February 1997, an oxygen-generating canister accidentally ignited, blasting out a three-foot geyser of flame. The crew frantically tried to put out the fire, but the extinguisher didn’t work. As the air filled with perilous smoke, Linenger donned a respirator, but it too was broken. The intense flame blocked access to a Soyuz escape craft, and even if they reached the other, they still couldn’t flee, because the retro burn schedule, the instructions for reentry, first needed to be printed from the station’s computer. After one-and-a-half minutes – which they later said felt like 15 – the fire burned itself out, leaving toxic smoky air. Of course, cosmonaut Korzun downplayed the incident to his Mission Control: His paycheck was on the line. But a worse event soon unfolded. Russian controllers ordered the crew to dock with an unmanned Progress 234 cargo ship. They weren’t allowed to use their radar, because its signals interfered with other electronics. So on June 25, the Russian Mir commander tried remotely to bring in the

With a loud crunch, the cargo ship plowed into the station’s solar arrays at a speed of ten feet per second, then tore open a gash in Mir’s hull.

Mir over Earth

NASA

Progress module using nothing more than a blurry TV screen: It depicted how his Mir looked from the incoming ship. With no radar, he had to judge its distance and speed solely from Mir’s changing angular size and position on the monitor. Using a joystick and the unclear TV image, he suddenly realized that it was approaching too fast. When it was a minute away, he frantically applied continuous braking and tried to avoid a collision. It didn’t work. With a loud crunch, the cargo ship plowed into the station’s solar arrays at a speed of ten feet per second, then tore open a gash in Mir’s hull, in the science section. Everyone’s ears started popping as the station’s pressure rapidly dropped. They heard their air hissing into the vacuum of space. They tried to seal off the science module, but hoses and cables snaked through the doorways. Russian flight engineer Lazutkin grabbed a knife and started severing the live wires, producing fireworks of electrical sparks. The pressure had now dropped so low that they were close to abandoning the station; time was running out. The collision had also sent the entire Mir tumbling. Its solar panels no longer pointed at the Sun. Electrical power was dropping. Ultimately, they heroically saved everything, though all the previous problems remained. That was 20 years ago. It’s a reminder that astronauts are more than smart and physically buff; they’re incredibly brave. Their tales of extended courage deserve to be told. – Bob Berman Want to know more?

I’ve always believed that at an emotional level, the American Dream evokes feelings of freedom to avenues of opportunity and equal access to paths of prosperity for anyone willing to work hard to achieve it. At a more practical level, many argue that achieving the American Dream has become equated with consumerism and ownership instead of the more purist notions at its core. Regardless of where the truth lies, it’s still a national tradition to pass down the idea that the American Dream is achievable in each generation. Leaving a home to your children has always been part of the American Dream; let us Wi nM or ris help you fulﬁll it. on

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.
