2 NICHOLAS KAHN AND RICHARD SELESNICK’S MELORA
1. Nicholas Kahn/ Richard Selesnick lecture & exhibit at SUNY-Ulster Dream or memory? Real or false? Welcome to the mysterious and mysteriously moving artworks of Nicholas Kahn and Richard Selesnick, sorcerers of the unconscious, photographers of the imaginary. A portion of their teeming teamwork will be on display
at the Muroff Kotler Gallery at SUNYUlster beginning October 8. Gallery coordinator Suzy Jeffers likes to present the works of local artists in this gem of a gallery. Though she is herself a photography teacher and was well aware of Kahn and Selesnick’s work, she was surprised to discover that the two men live nearby: Kahn in Hudson and Selesnick in Rhinebeck. She was equally delighted when they agreed to present their work at SUNY-Ulster; their more typical venues have included the Brooklyn Museum of
FROZEN TITANS
Art, the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. “Their work is amazingly imaginative,” Jeffers said last week. “It transports you to different references, both past and future. I find their work both curious and psychically far-reaching.” Kahn and Selesnick were both born in 1964, in New York City and London respectively; they’ve been friends and artistic collaborators since their days together as students at the Art School at Washington University in St. Louis in the
early 1980s. They work primarily in the fields of photography and installation art, specializing in fictitious histories set in the past or future. Kahn said last week that he was comfortable with their work being called “fictional documentaries.” He also gave the impression of not caring a bit what descriptions people hang on their works. That’s a decision best left to viewers, he said. He likened their collaborations to novels or movies that viewers can wander through.

ALMANAC WEEKLY
The documentary strain of Kahn’s art can be traced to Kahn’s father Jerry, who served as a photographer in the US Army during World War II. The images and artifacts that he brought home from the war intrigued him, Kahn said. Jerry Kahn was also a key player in what turned out to be the dying days of the old Movietone newsreels. With his deep knowledge of the documentary format and with a newsman’s experience, Jerry Kahn went on to create news programs for fledgling TV stations in the 1960s. His father’s influence, Kahn said, can be seen in many of the images that he and Selesnick have conjured over the years: old photos of strangers, worthless bank notes, newsreel images. It’s all about, he said, creating worlds – worlds initially populated by people and creatures and places that invite the viewer to conjure their own connections, to become part of a personal story whose truth lies beyond the merely factual, out there where greenmen and death dancers and refugees from the collective unconscious are at least as real as the nightmares of our youth or of the daily newscast. While Messrs. Orlofsky and Falke have sent their regrets, claiming their required attendance at a performance of Johann Strauss’s Die Fledermaus that evening, Kahn and Selesnick are expected to attend the opening reception and slide lecture at SUNY-Ulster’s College Lounge in Vanderlyn Hall at 7 p.m. on October 8. The exhibit will run through November 6 at the Muroff Kotler. – Jeremiah Horrigan Kahn & Selesnick slide lecture, exhibition & opening reception, Thursday, October 8, 7 p.m., Vanderlyn Hall, SUNY-Ulster; exhibition runs October 8 through November 6, Muroff Kotler Visual Arts Gallery, SUNY-Ulster, 491 Cottekill Road, Stone Ridge; (845) 6875113; http://www.sunyulster.edu.

o choreographer alive has a higher reputation for musicality than Mark Morris…his dances have brought music to meet dance in ways that have expanded our appreciation of the alchemy that these two arts can achieve together.” So wrote Alastair Macaulay in The New York Times last April in a review of the premiere at the Brooklyn Academy of Music of Morris’ dark dreamscape Whelm, set to a Debussy score. Though mostly retired from performing, the 59-year-old superstar choreographer is still regularly churning out new works. His latest dance will be scored to Johann Nepomuk Hummel’s Septet in C, op. 114, “The Military.” It will premiere on October 9 at the Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts, with live musical accompaniment, danced by American Ballet Theatre (ABT) in its third visit to Bard College. That aforementioned meeting and melding of artistic genres is right up Bard’s determinedly, fluidly cross-disciplinary alley, but there are other serendipities at work here as well. The Fisher Center is known for reviving “lost” operatic works, and Morris has a long and distinguished track record of choreographing operas, including Modernist experiments like Four Saints in Three Acts, Nixon in China and The Death of Klinghoffer. The college bestowed an honorary doctorate on Morris in 2006 (he now has 11), and on that visit, Bard president Leon Botstein alerted the choreographer to the existence of an earlier (1935) and radically different version of Prokofiev’s 1940 score for Romeo and Juliet – one in which Juliet wakes up before Romeo has a chance to kill himself. Morris accepted Botstein’s challenge to choreograph the score, which was unearthed at the Russian State Archive of Literature and Art in Moscow and reconstructed by Simon Morrison, a Princeton music historian. Morrison became a scholar-in-residence at the Prokofiev-themed Bard Music Festival in 2008, which gave Mark Morris’ Romeo & Juliet, on Motifs of Shakespeare its world premiere as part of SummerScape. Bard has also been building a strong artistic relationship with ABT of late. Known for its relentless touring schedule and its commitment to celebrating American-generated dance along with preserving the European classics, ABT marks its 75th anniversary season this year. In addition to the Mark Morris premiere, its sojourn in Annandale on October 9 through 11 will present Company B, the great Paul Taylor’s jitterbug/Lindy/ballet hybrid set to the music of the Andrews Sisters, and ABT artist-in-residence Alexei Ratmansky’s Piano Concerto #1, set to Shostakovich’s Concerto No. 1 for Piano, Trumpet and Strings, Op. 35. The engagement will feature ABT principal dancers including Stella Abrera, Isabella Boylston, Misty Copeland, Maria Kochetkova and Gillian Murphy as well as Herman Cornejo, Daniil Simkin and Cory Stearns. The program will be performed at the Fisher Center’s Sosnoff Theatre on Friday, October 9 at 8 p.m., Saturday, October 10 at 2 and 8 p.m. and Sunday, October 11 at 2 p.m. Tickets range in price from $25 to $65 – not a bad deal for catching some dance history in the making – and may be purchased by calling the box office at (845) 758-7900 or online at www.fishercenter. bard.edu. – Frances Marion Platt

Hinchey Catskill Interpretive Center (CIC) is offering one last chance before it gets too cold outside to have a mini-camping adventure in the Catskills with your family. Located at 5096 Route 28 in Mount Tremper, the CIC will light an old-time campfire, heat up some apple cider and set out the ingredients for you to assemble (and melt into a gooey mess) some s’mores. Organized fireside activities will include singalongs, group cheers and silly skits. So bring along your fun ideas and jog your memory banks to recall your
favorite camp song lyrics! CIC’s Campfire event runs from 6 until 8 p.m. on Saturday, October 10 (rain date: October 17). Admission to this fundraiser for the Center costs $15 per person, $35 for a family. To volunteer to lead a song or put on a skit, e-mail mdrillinger@catskillcenter.org.

Bardavon kicks off Poughkeepsie Reads with The Grapes of Wrath screening this Friday Two things that folks in the vicinity of Poughkeepsie can look forward to with pleasure each fall are the new season of the Bardavon 1869 Opera House’s Friday Film Series of classic movie favorites and the return of the Poughkeepsie Public Library District’s “Poughkeepsie Reads� series of events inspired by one important work of literature. The 2015 Poughkeepsie Reads selection is The Grapes of Wrath, John Steinbeck’s Pulitzer Prizewinning novel about the Joads, an Oklahoma family who flee the Dust Bowl of the 1930s seeking a better future in California. Seems like thought-provoking matter for public discussion in these times of extreme income inequality, the likes of which have not been seen in this country since the Great Depression. As it happens,
Documentary, discussion on dance therapy for Parkinson’s patients in Rosendale The Mark Morris Dance Company, whose founder’s latest work of choreography is premiering this weekend at Bard College’s Fisher Center, doesn’t just make stageworks of aesthetic beauty; it also applies dance skills and techniques in the real world to help
Parkinson’s Disease patients cope with their loss of neuromuscular control. Capturing Grace, a documentary directed by Dave Iverson, depicts participants in Dance for PD, a program at the Mark Morris Dance Center under the supervision of David Leventhal and John Heginbotham, as they prepare for a public performance. It shows them gaining confidence and a sense of physical freedom. Tremors recede in the studio; performers rediscover what they thought they had lost. Capturing Grace will be screened this Sunday, October 11 at 3 p.m. at the Rosendale Theatre as part of its ongoing Dance Film Sundays series. Anne Olin, a Woodstock-based movement therapist who danced with the New York City Ballet during the Balanchine years and today runs Parkinson’s Dance & Exercise classes in Poughkeepsie and Kingston, will be present at the conclusion of the film for a question-and-answer session. Admission costs $10 for Rosendale Theatre Collective members, $12 for non-members and $6 for children age 12 and under. The handicapped-accessible Rosendale Theatre is located at 408 Main Street (Route 213) in Rosendale. For more info call (845) 658-8989 or visit www. rosendaletheatre.org. – Frances Marion Platt

HISTORY Andrew Jackson Downing (left) and a sketch from his Cottage Residences (right)
Hudson Valley Gothic Celebrating Andrew Jackson Downing’s bicentennial in Poughkeepsie & Newburgh LIBRARY OF CONGRRESS
A
ndrew Jackson (A. J.) Downing (1815-1852) was an American landscape designer, horticulturist and writer who became influential in American architectural design despite not being an architect himself. A proponent of the Gothic Revival style, Downing believed that one’s home could influence the morals of its owners and that America would be uplifted if the middle class lived in tasteful surroundings augmented by nature. In 1842 Downing collaborated with architect Alexander Jackson (A. J.) Davis on Cottage Residences, a pattern book of houses for prospective homebuilders that mixed aspects of Romantic architecture with the pastoral picturesque architecture of the English countryside. With the accessibility of this and subsequent pattern books marketed to the middle class, Downing and his philosophical ideals became enormously popular in his time. A native son of Newburgh, Downing’s
career was cut short at age 36 when he was killed along with 80 others in a boiler explosion and fire aboard the steamship Henry Clay on its way to New York City. His ideas influenced the design of New York City’s Central Park designed by his collaborator Calvert Vaux and Frederick Law Olmsted and raise the tantalizing question of what else Downing might have done had he not lost his life so young. On the occasion of the bicentennial of Downing’s birth on October 31, 1815, the Hudson River Valley Institute at Marist College in Poughkeepsie is presenting a daylong symposium, “Worlds of Andrew Jackson Downing: A Bicentennial Celebration,” on Saturday, October 24 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The

Hudson River School painter Jervis McEntee appears in the catalogue for the current exhibit there. In fall 2014, she coedited with Thomas Wermuth an issue of The Hudson River Valley Review on “Painters, Writers and Tourists in the 19th Century” and contributed an essay to the volume. Recently Carso sat down with Almanac Weekly’s Sharyn Flanagan to discuss A. J. Downing. What is the most important thing to know about A. J. Downing if you had to encapsulate it? The important thing to know is that he was, in this antebellum period, the premier tastemaker in America. Through his books and through his published journal [The Horticulturist and Journal of Rural Art and Rural Taste], he was teaching people how to be refined, how to be genteel. He was encouraging his readers to be aspirational: You want to have a fine-looking home that expresses who you are. Downing believed that having a beautiful home in the American countryside elevated us as a country. This was an era of nationalism, when Americans were searching around and trying to figure out what makes us unique from Europeans. Downing suggests the importance of the home, and how this thing so vital to everyone’s lives has a civilizing effect on people; and if we were going to be taken seriously as a nation, then we needed to have beautiful homes. And I think that still resonates with people today. Your home expresses something about you and your status in society. Why has there been so much scholarship about Downing? Downing strikes a chord with people, I think, because he’s so accessible. You can still buy his books in Dover editions on Amazon or look at them online; they’ve been digitized. And most of his writings were published. Whereas someone like A. J. Davis had a long life – into his 80s – and wrote down everything he did every day; all of his letters and sketches are in four libraries in New York City, and it would take a lifetime to go through it all. So nobody has ever written a definitive book on Davis. Also, Davis would draw something early in his life and then annotate it years later, so there’s always the question of, “When did he write that?” There’s a lot of primary source material to get a handle on with Davis, and buildings you have to go visit. But with Downing, his books and articles are the key sources. Most of his designs no longer exist because Downing was a landscape designer, not an architect, and landscapes don’t last like architecture does. His legacy is these books, and they were very influential, so it’s easy to trace the influence of what he did. Downing was able to reach a lot of people. The books weren’t expensive to produce: They had no color imagery, they were small-scale, so they were accessible. The books became wildly successful and it did make the styles, predominantly Gothic Revival, proliferate, especially for domestic architecture. And other people followed in his footsteps. The other thing about Downing is that he was a theorist. That is always influential. If someone like Davis is designing a Gothic Revival house, it’s just the house. But what’s the theory behind it? Why should we like that style? What does that house mean to me? Downing was the one who provided the theoretical background, and the reason why. He gave us a reason to care about it: that you were connected to nature, and that was morally uplifting. Downing provided us with the rationale for building houses like this, and he was persuasive. Why did Downing equate nature with moral living? In a country that was quickly industrializing and urbanizing in the 19th century, Downing was advocating a

rural life. It was a Romantic idea: You want to get out of the city and commune with nature. If you have a porch – or a veranda, as he calls them – you are simultaneously inside and outside in nature. That was healthy, and had a civilizing effect; you would improve your house further by adding a landscape around it. A lot of what he’s saying is still relevant today. I think we’re still struggling with that idea of being stressed out about city life. I think there’s a natural longing we have for nature, and Downing writes a lot about that. Your portion of the symposium is on Downing’s influence into the 20th century from the standpoint of American art. Would you tell me a little more about that? I teach American Art, and I’ve always taught American Gothic, the Grant Wood painting from 1930. The name of the painting comes from the Gothic Revival house in the background; it’s a real house in existence still in Eldon, Iowa, and Grant Wood was from Iowa. But why does he name a painting after the style of the house? It’s interesting to me, because my specialty is Gothic Revival architecture in the 19 th century, and here it is appearing in 1930. When putting together my lectures many years ago, I found photographs by Walker Evans of Gothic Revival cottages like the ones Downing was promoting in his books in the 19th century. I was curious: Why would Evans and Wood be photographing or painting these houses in the 1930s? And it’s not just these two; I found it fascinating that there were a number of painters at that time who were attracted to painting these Downingesque board-and-batten cottages. I wondered, why this kind of Downing revival? And were these 20th-century artists aware that this is Downing? So that’s what I’ve been trying to uncover. Over the summer I spent a week in Iowa and went to the house in Eldon; it’s a tourist attraction now called the American Gothic House. I was interested in finding out what Grant Wood knew. What did you discover? As far as I can find, I don’t think he knew anything about Downing; but he had been to Europe, and he was fascinated by real medieval Gothic architecture. He did a lot of paintings of that, and when he came back to Iowa and saw this kind of flimsy wood-frame example of the pointed arch that he had seen in Gothic cathedrals, he just found that to be kind of
absurd. Wood happened on this house while driving with a friend in Eldon, this tiny town. He jumped out of the car and made a sketch of it on the spot and then incorporated it into the painting. With American Gothic, he wanted to paint what the people who lived in a house like that would look like. He painted them with elongated faces, like you see in the Middle Ages, and they’re very serious farm folk. This launched his career; it won an award in 1930 and was illustrated in a lot of national newspapers. It gave Wood a lot of success and was a new style for him that he called “regionalism.” People were interested in it because they couldn’t figure out: Was he praising the people of the heartland, or is it a critique? It was controversial, but it was talked about – and that got his career going. – Sharyn Flanagan “Worlds of Andrew Jackson Downing: A Bicentennial Celebration,” Saturday, October 24, 8 a.m.-5 p.m., free, Hudson River Valley Institute, Marist College, 3399 North Road, Poughkeepsie; RSVP by October 16 to hrvi@marist.edu, (845) 575-3052, www.hudsonrivervalley.org.

Sample indigenous foods at Klyne Esopus Columbus Day is your last chance this year to visit the Klyne Esopus Museum and catch the extended run of its popular exhibition “The First People of Esopus,” which showcases the Bohan/Datum Collection of Native American artifacts. The materials were collected over many years by the late Norm “Breezy” Bohan, a former president and co-founder of the Museum, including a substantial cache that he discovered on his childhood property on River Road in the Town of Esopus, later excavated by a SUNYNew Paltz archaeology team in what was dubbed the “Datum” dig. This Sunday, October 11 from 1 to 4 p.m., the Museum will host a special themed event related to the exhibition called “A Taste of History.” Free samples of traditional Native American foods will be available, along with a list of participating town businesses that will be offering specials for the weekend and a chance to win gift certificates. Organized by Mid-Hudson Historic Destinations, “A Taste of History” will include a number of other museums and historical societies in the region over Columbus Day weekend. See the website for more information at http:// midhudsonhistoricdestinations.com. The Museum is located at 764 Route 9W in Ulster Park.

ast Friday night, singer/ songwriter Lucinda Williams and her band, Buick 6, played in Chapel Hill, North Carolina: one stop on a tour that will bring them to the Bardavon on Sunday evening, October 11. After the Chapel Hill show, she met Bill Ellis, a teacher and music historian, and had a long conversation with him and two creative writing professors about her Dad, poet Miller Williams, who passed on in January. “Bill is an amazing man. We were talking about the roots of music, and I was so comfortable, talking with them about my Dad and me,” says Williams. “Tears welled up. The three of them reminded me of my Dad’s friends from academia, that whole world. When I was about 15 or 16, I met James Dickey [author of Deliverance]. He was tall and big and he’d say, ‘Goddamn, Milluh’ – that’s the way he said my Dad’s name, M-I-L-L-U-H, in his big, deep voice,” spelling it out in an exaggerated Southern accent. “I got so much from my father, so much from them, from that time in my life and the people who were around then. They’re all gone now…” To her great joy, the conversation with Ellis sparked discussion of an archival project about her and her father. Students at the university will help to organize a motherlode of photos and letters that Williams has collected over the years. “I’ve been wanting to do it. It’s so

Grammy Award-winner Lucinda Williams’ father, Miller, was a poet who taught at the University of Arkansas and published more than 30 books.

overwhelming, but that’s what they do.” Williams’ father, Miller, a poet who taught at the University of Arkansas and published more than 30 books, delivered the poem at President Clinton’s second inauguration. He and Williams’ mother, a concert pianist, frequently moved around the Southern states; and during Lucinda’s growing years, her parents welcomed students and artists of all types into their home. These informal salons offered a rare opportunity to absorb, as easily as breathing, many influences and styles of creative expression: Her father’s friends included such luminaries as Dickey, Flannery O’Connor, Charles Bukowski

and country singer George Jones. One of her father’s students introduced her to Bob Dylan’s Highway 61 Revisited: a turning point for the nascent singer/ songwriter and her first exposure to a format that wedded her two loves, music and writing. Williams and Buick 6 are touring to present the music from her 2014 release Down Where the Spirit Meets the Bone. In this first offering on her own label, Highway 20 Records, she paints a lush, densely emotional musical landscape propelled by evocative laser-vision lyrics that capture the vulnerabilities that all of us face in our journeys through a lifetime. From the aching needs and intensity of “Burning Bridges” to her growling twang in “Something Wicked This Way Comes,” the 20 tunes are accented by her bluesy, won’t-be-fooled womanliness. Her singing is sometimes raw, sometimes sweet, always perceptive and true. Williams writes from a soft underbelly of mature, keen wisdom, and she isn’t shy about revealing it. “I feel so vulnerable. I haven’t grabbed onto this whole concept of ‘This is the best time of your life’ yet,” she confesses. Separate from her positive feelings about where she is in her career, Williams, at 62, writes to come to terms with her sharp awareness of life’s passages. “My career satisfaction isn’t because of the age I am, because that can happen at different ages.

ALMANAC WEEKLY
October 8, 2015 continues. “Things pop into my head and I write them down. I have a lot of worksin-progress, and when I’m in my hotel room with my guitar, I’ll work on them. The other day, the phrase ‘bad blood’ came to me, and I started thinking about family members through the centuries: about drama, about people that didn’t get along, that there was ‘bad blood’ between them. And I said, ‘Okay, ding, ding, ding’ – a whole song could come from those two words. It’s a nugget or a seed.” These days, her creative wellspring includes her father’s poetry, too. When she was younger, she used him as a sounding board for her songwriting. “The last time was before recording one of the songs I wrote for my sixth release, Essence (2001). He said, ‘Honey, this is as close to perfect as you’ve ever come,’ and I said, ‘You mean you have no suggestions? Does that mean I’ve graduated?’ It’s interesting now, and bittersweet. I turned one of his poems into my song “Compassion” for my current release, and another one of his poems, “Dust,” is on my next album. It’s an ironic thing, being pulled to take his poems and create songs from them. His spirit is very much alive in what I’m doing now,” she says. Another tune, “Temporary Nature (of Any Precious Thing) includes one of his lines, “The saddest joys are the richest ones,” and it suits her music well. Of songwriting she says, “When I was younger, I used to get real anxious and think, ‘You’re all dried up,’ but over the years, I’ve developed my own process, my own way of writing. Some people have written thousands of songs – and I’ve accumulated a certain number of songs – but, for me, it’s about the quality, not the quantity. I’ve gotten over that hump now. The last time we were in the studio recording songs, we recorded some I’d written a year or two before, and some new songs. It doesn’t matter where they came from. We got about 35 songs of material, and a lot of them are on Down Where the Spirit Meets the Bone. We’re already ahead of the game for the new album, which will come out in January.” Her 2014 release, dubbed country soul, traverses universal internal terrains:
heartache, longing, family odysseys, change, love, death and all else that makes us human. But, with three Grammy Awards in three different categories – Best Country Song (for Mary Chapin Carpenter’s 1994 cover of her tune, “Passionate Kisses”), Best Contemporary Folk Album (for Car Wheels on a Gravel Road, 1998) and Best Female Rock Performance (for her song “Get Right with God,” an up-tempo alt/country gospel/ rock tune on her album Essence, 2001) – it’s fruitless to try to pin a hard-and-fast style onto Williams. And that’s as it should be, for an artist who continues to evolve and stretch into new territory. After years of “bouncing from label to label to label,” Williams relishes the freedom inherent in owning her recording label. “We can do a double album. We can do songs that aren’t two minutes long. On the next album, we did a gospel/blues tune of Mississippi Fred McDowell’s with a reggae drummer and a conga player, plus my bassist David Sutton and Bill Frisell on guitar. It’s so John Coltrane, like ‘A Love Supreme,’” she laughs. “It went on and on, and afterwards, we were all just sitting there listening and saying, ‘Wow, it’s long, but we’re gonna leave it the way it is. It’s gonna be on the damn album.’ It’s like 19 minutes long!” she laughs, “and we’ll have a second CD again because of that song, even though we didn’t want to do another two-CD release.” These days, Williams feels fortunate to have met and married her soulmate, Tom Overby, who co-produced Down Where the Spirit Meets the Bone, with her and Greg Leisz. And she’s happy to have a great fanbase, to be making a living from music, to travel in a tour bus instead of a van and to be surrounded by a great crew. “Everything feels steady. I like the security of it, and that I can afford to own a home. When I’m not on the road, I like to connect with friends, go out for dinner with them and drink a nice bottle of wine. Friends are so important to me. And I like to go out to hear other bands in smaller venues. I keep things pretty simple,” she says, adding, “I like reading, crossword puzzles, shopping
for shoes online…” What does she like to read? “Biographies, memoirs, true crime, psychological thrillers and all the great Southern writers, like Flannery O’Connor, Eudora Welty, Carson McCullers – the ones that inform you about life.” All the great Southern writers…I’d add
Lucinda Williams to that list. – Debra Bresnan Lucinda Williams with Buick 6, Sunday, October 11, 7 p.m., $69/54/49, Bardavon 1869 Opera House, 35 Market Street, Poughkeepsie; (845) 473-2072.

t is early October, and that means that the O+ Festival is upon us. The innovative transactional festival of music, art and wellness services and programs takes over the streets of Kingston on October 9 through the 11th, filling the venues with national and local talent and redecorating the city’s surfaces with mural art, site-specific installations, multimedia and performance art. Now in its sixth year, O+ is an established and influential music and art festival as well as a proven, widely publicized and imitated new
model of community resource-sharing and creative-class economic adaptation. Of all the festivals that enliven our region (and the list is getting pretty staggering), O+ is the one that could be fairly called visionary. As a dispersed, multi-art, multi-venue festival, the O+ event lineup can be sorted in a variety of ways, as evidence by the O+ website, where all scheduled events are color-coded and can be filtered by venue, time and type (art, music, health et cetera). Participating venues this year include the Anchor, BSP, Outdated Café,

Dave Mason plays Bearsville on Thursday
Veteran British rocker Dave Mason slips of a bit of a wink into the name of his current touring project: “Dave Mason’s Traffic Jam, 1967-2015 World Tour.” Mason, of course, was a mad-successful solo act in the mid’70s, but before that an on-again, offagain member of the jam-oriented British rock band Traffic – a band more associated with the multi-instrumental, vocal and song-co-writing talents of Steve Winwood than with Mason. The other original members of Traffic, Jim Capaldi and Chris Wood, have left the planet, and Mason’s claim to the Traffic brand is legitimate, even if the band’s long-form jam vehicles have very little to do with the easygoing songwriter rock of Mason’s famous solo work. Dave Mason’s Traffic Jam visits the legendary Bearsville Theater in Woodstock on Thursday, October 8 at 8 p.m. Tickets cost $25, $45 and $55 and are available at www.bearsvilletheater.com.

Writing the bus Sybil Rosen to discuss new book at Inquiring Minds in New Paltz Sybil Rosen’s first collection of short stories is a small treasure of intimate encounters with the varied and obscure sort of people who travel by bus. In Riding the Dog, she gives
us nine odd and poignant interludes aboard a Greyhound that, though brief, describe more about bus riders – those “homeless and restless” among us – than we might want to know. Thrown together in tight quarters, Rosen’s characters tell us what it is to live on the edge, basically invisible to anyone cruising around in a comfortable car or even covering longer distances in the remove of a jet plane. Her knowledge of this subculture is firsthand, having traveled for five years

after graduating as a Theater major from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro in 1972, and later crossing the country by bus in search of memories of Blaze Foley, the Texas music legend with whom she’d once lived in a tree. Yes, Rosen has had that kind of life: knocking around America, acting in dinner theater, summer stock, student films and on the stage. Paying attention to humanity and place, and always writing about it – since she was five, she reports. “These stories were gathered over 30,000 miles of bus travel back and forth across the country,” she says. “The people I met, the situations I observed or was involved in, touched me and taught me, and I realized that I was discovering an America I might otherwise not have known: a desperate, funny, resilient, heartbreaking America.” Her accuracy in detailing a scenario is admirable. Recognizing an exact description of the corner where a bus station stands in a particular town is so much more rewarding to readers than the more generic experience might be. Rosen puts us on the bus. If a picture is worth, as they say, a thousand words, her imagery of cat-carrying gamblers and barelycoping-but-heroic widows and fantasizing bus drivers and dying circus performers – and all the roads that they roll down and the towns that they leave and why – the imagery is curiously satisfying. We become voyeurs to a relatively-poor-butrichly-defined spectrum. And though we wouldn’t necessarily want to be any one of them, we might like to ride the dog at least once to witness it. An environmental educator and seasonal ranger at the Mohonk Preserve, editor of its newsletter, Ridgelines, and long-ago contributor to this newspaper, Rosen has practiced her craft by mixing it up, also authoring essays and poetry, plays (Duet for Bear and Dog and numerous others), a memoir (Living in the Woods
in a Tree: Remembering Blaze Foley) and works of fiction for young people. She writes, “Since the 1999 publication of Speed of Light, I’ve gotten to go into classrooms around the country, talking to kids from kindergarten to high school about the joys and perils of a writing life and answering questions like, ‘Where do characters come from?’ ‘How do you know when a story is finished?’ and ‘What do you like to color with?’ Definitely the best part of my job.” Rosen will read from Riding the Dog and sign books at Inquiring Minds in New Paltz on Friday, October 16 at 7 p.m. For more information about her work and life, visit www.sybilrosen.com. – Ann Hutton Sybil Rosen: Riding the Dog reading/ signing, Friday, October 16, 7 p.m., free, Inquiring Minds Bookstore, 6 Church Street, New Paltz; (845) 255-8300, www. inquiringbooks.com.

Kevin Hart, the actor and stand-up comedian playing the Mid-Hudson Civic Center on Tuesday, October 13, made his breakthrough when he started playing off his own faults on stage, instead of copying the other successes that had led him from North Philadelphia into showbiz. Numerous films, concert tours playing stadiums and major halls like Madison Square Garden and the hit TV series Real Husbands of Hollywood later, he’s considered one of today’s comedy highlights: a superstar. “When you talk about your flaws, people gravitate towards you,” he has explained of the style that he has ridden to fame. “I’m just not that manly man.” Hart’s new What Now? Tour hits 45 cities throughout the US and Canada before heading overseas to the UK, Europe and Australia and is being considered “the biggest comedy tour in history.” And now it’s in Poughkeepsie, for two shows on Tuesday. – Paul Smart
perience, however, takes into account the ways in which those trees closest to water grow colorful sooner than others, and the importance of contrast in making the season glow – as in the contrast between a watery foreground and bright-treed shoreline, a darkly rising mountainscape and deepening skies for dramatic background.

Bard College adds Montgomery Place estate to campus Historic Hudson Valley and Bard College have reached an agreement that transfers ownership of Montgomery Place, a 380-acre riverside
estate contiguous with the campus, to the college. “This is a momentous opportunity for the college, securing its long-term future and protecting one of its most important attributes, which is the beauty of its landscape and campus,” said Bard College president Leon Botstein. “Bard’s campus and its programs have always been accessible to the public,” he added, explaining, “We are a college that operates in the public interest, and we intend to continue offering public access to Montgomery Place as we integrate into
October 8, 2015
a single, coherent 1,000-acre campus.” He noted that the College hopes to create new pathways and bikeways, and to use Montgomery Place for the academic and public programs of the college. “We are thrilled to partner with Bard on this transaction, which protects the site while keeping it relevant and fresh for generations to come,” said Waddell W. Stillman, president of Historic Hudson Valley (HHV). “This is the highest and best resolution of the future of Montgomery Place and HHV. The site’s rich historic, cultural and environmental resources are
a natural fit with the expertise and passion Bard brings to its cultural and academic endeavors.”
Fifties Dance Party in Phoenicia this Friday Phoenicia, up Route 28 in the center of the scenic Catskills, takes retro seriously. One of its top musical acts of recent years was the Catskill 45s, who would focus on one year’s worth of hits each year of their existence, starting in 1964 and eventually working their way to disbanding six years later. They were wild fun. This Friday night, the community’s fun Arts Upstairs gallery and gathering space will be hosting a special Fifties Dance Party starting at 7 p.m., featuring music by Robert Burke Warren (Ulster Publishing writer and a kids’ icon as “Uncle Rock”), complete with ‘50s trivia contest, best vintage-inspired attire contest and how-low-can-you-go limbo. Theme-appropriate refreshments will be available. It’s all hosted by, and a benefit for, the Shandaken Democratic Committee. – Paul Smart Fifties Dance Party, Friday, October 9, 7 p.m., $15, The Arts Upstairs, 60 Main Street, Phoenicia; (845) 688-9453.

hatever your plans are for the weekend of October 16 through 18, I suggest spending some time in Kingston for the “Burning of Kingston” events. Revolutionary War reenactments take place in the same places where they took place originally; it’s like history comes alive. One highlight is the Autumn Festival at the Senate House on Saturday, October 17 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Come kick it 18th-century style by learning how to press apple cider, barrel-smoke meat and dip candles, and kids can make dried-apple wreaths and cornhusk dolls, all while hearing 18th-century music. Stick around for some real excitement around 1:45 p.m. as American colonists flee the Senate House before the British come! Admission to the Festival is free, and tours are available for $4 for adults, $3 for seniors and free for children age 12 and under. The Senate House is located at 296 Fair Street in Kingston.

Buon appetito! Revitalized Italian Festival in Kingston this Sunday to feature Italian Food, wine, cars & music
C
olumbus Day weekend has brought Italian festivals to Kingston before, but the inaugural Ulster County Italian Festival on Sunday, October 11 will be something new. Energized by the enthusiastic membership of the new Ulster County Italian American Foundation (UCIAF) that is organizing the event, the festival will be held from 12 noon to 8 p.m. on the Strand in Kingston’s waterfront district. Admission is free. There will be plenty of food; how could it be an Italian festival without? Menu selections are going to run the gamut of Italian-inspired edibles, from Tuscan chicken wings and decadent desserts with espresso to grilled pizza and the giant 12-ounce meatballs from Mint. Mariner’s

And while most of the offerings will fall into the Italian food category, the Off the Hook food truck will also have lobster rolls and crabcakes alongside calamari marinara and lobster Fra Diavolo. Italian beer and wine will be available, along with Pellegrino water. The Peroni Brewery of Lombardy, Italy and Folanari Wines of the Veneto region are sponsors. The live music lineup features the Sinatraesque Michael Dell Orchestra, along with lively cover bands Hot Rod, Dekades and the a cappella Phantoms. The world of opera will be well-represented with an appearance by renowned mezzosoprano Maria Todaro – co-founder of the Phoenicia International Festival of the Voice and a UCIAF member – and aspiring opera singer Andrew Hoben, a 17-year-old Kingston High School student, will deliver an aria or two.

preserve and promote the Italian heritage and culture shared by so many people in the region. “There is such a rich history of Italians here,” says Tony Marmo, president of the UCIAF and founding member, “from Marlborough, Milton, Highland up to Saugerties and even west. They settled here, up and down the river, because of the brickyards and the railroad down in Highland. And the topography of Ulster County is similar to parts of Italy, so those folks at the turn of the last century said, ‘This is the place we want to stay.’” Because of that, he says, approximately 19 percent of the population in Ulster County today has Italian roots. “Italian Americans are the largest ethnic group we have here, followed by the Irish. But while the Hibernians have done a tremendous job recognizing the Irish culture, there has been no organized effort to try to pull

or so Lamborghinis and Ferraris parked at the festival to admire and a vocal performance by the reigning Ms. Italia New York 2015, AnnaRose Mongiello. The Ulster County Italian A m e r i c a n Foundation has pulled this festival together in a relatively short time, having been organized as a group for just months. But its founders work fast: Starting with 20 members, they’ve grown to 125 already, and they’ve even achieved official 501 (c) (3) nonprofit status. The club’s primary raison d’etre (or should I say ragione di essere?) is to
the Italians together in this area. And we thought it was time to do that.” Proceeds from the festival will benefit the scholarship program the UCIAF will start at the end of the 2016 school year. Marmo says that they plan to give out eight scholarships, one in each Ulster County school district, to high school students of Italian American heritage or with college plans related to Italian studies. The organization will also promote Italian culture through offering language lessons. “Many of us grew up in a household where our parents spoke Italian, but they never taught us, because this was America, and our parents wanted us to speak English,” says Marmo. “Some people did learn Italian from their parents, but many of us didn’t. That’s more common than not. So we want to help people learn the Italian language, and that includes Italians and non-Italians.” Other ideas that the group is looking at include lectures with guest speakers, social dinners, day trips to places like Ellis Island and perhaps even travels to Italy. “We’re also going to consider hardship cases, devoting some of our money to other worthy causes, Italian or not.”
“Italian Americans are the largest ethnic group we have here, followed by the Irish.”

Mookie and the Puffball
EXPLORE
Stalking the giant puffball
I
glanced out the bedroom window one afternoon and saw something big and white and round tucked under a rhododendron near the shed. Instantly I remembered a photo that a friend had posted on Facebook recently: a soccer ball-sized fungus that she cooked and fed her family. A picture of one of her sons smiling above what turned out to be a giant puffball, a Calvatia gigantea, was meant to assure us all that the thing was edible. Evidently, Calvatia is commonly eaten in her family’s country of origin, Poland. I’m not one to hunt for mushrooms; I just don’t know enough to feel safe consuming them. But seeing what the Earth had coughed up in my own back yard and knowing that it could be eaten thrilled me. It felt like a gift – like finding watercress growing in a wet ditch or wild blackberries on a hillside. It reminded me that edible vegetation abounds in the Catskills, and learning about what’s out there is good knowledge to have. Found in fields and deciduous forests, giant puffballs appear in late summer and early fall. Large ones can contain several trillion spores, a rather mind-boggling fact. One source indicated that if the spores have already begun to form and the outer skin has become yellow or brown, eating the puffball can cause digestive upset. After consulting with my friend, I went online to learn whether this particular fungus growing here in New York was indeed plate-worthy. I read that when immature and pure white all the way through, it can be cooked, dried or frozen. There is another similar puffball that may be poisonous, and my research described how that one is different from Calvatia. Okay, so noted. I cut the thing in half, which was like slicing Styrofoam, and saw that it was all white. Then I carved two thick slabs and fried them in butter and salt. On a YouTube video, I’d heard that cooked puffball tastes like tofu. Unlikely, I thought. But it did indeed. I diced the rest of it and sautÊed the rough cubes in butter and olive oil. This got tossed into a skillet of scrambled eggs the next morning. I must admit that the whole experiment was more fascinating than scrumptious – to think that, with a little common sense and knowledge, I could actually forage and feed myself in the wild. Check out one of the many online sources, such as this one: www.kew.org/science-conservation/plants-fungi/calvatia-giganteagiant-puffball. – Ann Hutton
I cut the thing in half, which was like slicing Styrofoam, and saw that it was all white. Then I carved two thick slabs and fried them in butter and salt.
The group is non-political, nonreligious and welcomes men and women equally. “There’s no ‘ladies’ auxiliary’ in our organization,� Marmo says. “That was very important to us to establish; there’s only one class of membership.� The only requirement to join is that a member be of Italian heritage, but nonItalian spouses and Significant Others are welcome to join. “You just need to have a legit relationship with an Italian to get in! And even though we’re the Ulster County Italian American Foundation, we’re not limited to geographic boundaries. If you
live in Dutchess or another nearby county, you’re eligible to join. The vision is pretty big and wide, and we’re hoping eventually to be the largest Italian American organization in the Hudson Valley and hold the largest festival. We think we can do it.� – Sharyn Flanagan Ulster County Italian Festival, Sunday, October 11, 12 noon-8 p.m., free, the Strand, Rondout District, Kingston; uciafinc@gmail.com, www.ucitalianamericanfoundation.org.

ART Freeing the nun from the spray can Judith Hoyt retrospective now on view at High Falls’ Wired Gallery Plenty of artists nowadays work with “found materials,� but here in the mid-Hudson Valley, Judith Hoyt has long been the queen of the genre. I can recall, during a visit to her studio for an article a couple of decades ago, being struck by a sculpture of a nun, Madonna or medieval saint that she had conjured very simply out of an aerosol can that had been flattened by a passing car. Such flotsam of modern human habitation calls to her as Hoyt scans roadsides and trash middens; and like Michelangelo finding the angel hidden in the block of marble by chipping away everything that isn’t, she has a gift for spotting the sublime in the mundane and setting it free. These days Hoyt’s sculptures incorporate encaustics as well as reflecting her earlier interests in paper collage, fabrics and reworked found metal. “The material is discolored, corroded and misshapen by the random process of history and intuitively arranged to take shape as a composition,� reads the description of her works on view in “Judith Hoyt: To the Rescue,� her 30-year retrospective exhibition currently on view at the Wired Gallery. “The figures and their environments

D
ale Chihuly is world-renowned for his show-stopping sculptural assemblages of blown glass, usually brightly colored and often suspended like huge chandeliers in high-ceilinged spaces. If a rainbow suddenly exploded and just as suddenly froze, the result would probably resemble a Chihuly. But early in the artist’s career, he was doing more subdued work, including a series of 44 cylinders ranging from the size of a drinking tumbler to 16 inches in height. In 2013, he revisited that collection, collaborating with painter Seaver Leslie to turn the vessels into a visual walk-through of scenes from James Joyce’s Ulysses. Artists Flora C. Mace and Joey Kirkpatrick transformed Leslie’s pen-and-ink illustrations into fragile glass-thread “drawings,� which Chihuly’s glassmaking team then fused onto the cylinders’ surfaces. The Ulysses Cylinders were unveiled last year at Dublin Castle, and they’re making their US premiere at an exhibition opening this Sunday, October 11 at the Frederick Ferris Thompson Memorial Library on the Vassar College campus. (The artist’s wife, Leslie Jackson Chihuly, is a Class of ’83 Vassar alumna.) It’s also the first-ever exhibition in the Hudson Valley of any of Dale Chihuly’s work. The cylinders will be mounted on pedestals and arranged to follow the timeline of Joyce’s masterwork. Also on view in the Thompson Library will be “James Joyce’s Ulysses: Text and Art,� an exhibition of editions of the novel from the college’s Special Collections illustrated by artists including Eric Gill, Henri Matisse and Robert Motherwell. Admission to Ulysses Cylinders is free, but only 26 people will be able to view the show at one time, admitted at 30-minute intervals. Timed reservations are required and can be made at http://bit.ly/1FVonqC. For more information on the exhibition, which runs through November 22, visit http://chihuly.vassar.edu.

O
ne of the great ongoing cultural highlights of the region has been the Center for Photography at Woodstock (CPW)â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s months-long series of photo slide lectures, which run from late spring into the autumn. One of the great arts highlights of the Hudson Valley in recent decades has been photographer Susan Widesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s application of her varied-focus photo style on the landscape that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve grown used to as the setting for the Hudson River School of painting, and a host of explorations built on that oh-so-solid base. This Saturday evening, October 10, Wides â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who lives in New York City and Catskill â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will give a talk and slide presentation on â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Metaphoric Landscape: Urban/Rural,â&#x20AC;? to accompany a weekend-long workshop that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teaching at CPW. Venues for Widesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s solo exhibitions have included the Hudson River Museum, the Center for Creative Photography in Tucson, the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art and Urbi et Orbi Galerie in Paris. Group exhibitions sites include the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the High Museum in Atlanta. Work by the artist is held in many public collections, including the International Center of Photography, the Brooklyn Museum, the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center, the Norton Museum of Art and the Museum of the City of New York. Wides exhibits her work regularly at the Kim Foster Gallery in New York City. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Paul Smart Susan Wides, Saturday, October 10, 7:30 p.m., $7, Center for Photography at Woodstock, 59 Tinker Street, Woodstock; (845) 679-9957, www.cpw.org.

There have been enough variations ever since â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including critic Clement Greenbergâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s creation of a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Color Fieldâ&#x20AC;? school of work out of what others saw as simplified Abstract Expressionism â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to draw attention immediately to anything dubbed as such, like the new three-person show at Hudsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s venerable Carrie Haddad
Gallery. It happens right in the midst of that cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always-busy Arts Week celebration, which crescendos with this showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s official opening reception on Sunday afternoon, October 11. Carrie Haddadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Color Theoryâ&#x20AC;? features the work of local artists Vincent Pomilio, James Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Shea and Stephen Brophy. Pomilio creates mixed-media layerings of elements lent a unifying burnish and surface of color blocks, intuitively placed, and mixing an underlying sense of centering grids with a Modernist sense of deconstruction. Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Shea layers colors and shapes in ways that mirror the changing nature that he sees from his riverside studio while inevitably leaving one with an invigorated sense of the deep subtleties of all color. Brophy, meanwhile â&#x20AC;&#x201C; while best-known for his bright landscapes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is represented here by a series of large works from the 1990s that successfully update what we recall of Color Field masterpieces from the 1950s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you see it, it is there,â&#x20AC;? Pomilio has said of his work, etching a description thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fitting for this whole exhibit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One shape flows from another, and then
another, until there is a pulsating energy of interacting elements. Worlds of refined, chaotic movement are animated by color.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Paul SmartÂ

Matt Damon in The Martian. Both Saturday and Sunday mornings offer a dramatic alignment of Mars and every single naked-eye solar system object except for Saturn. You don’t need a telescope to see it.
When especially Jupiter and Saturn are more or less in the same direction, they influence the Sun’s position, yanking it from its average location by one full Sunwidth. So, though it’s not obvious, the Sun is not quite in its normal spot in the sky. All this parades in front of us. Sure, it’s the weekend, and who wants to get up early? But if it’s forecast to be clear Saturday or Sunday morning…I don’t know about you, but I’m sure going to set the alarm.

And you get two chances: this Saturday morning and Sunday morning, September 10 and 11. What is there depends on whether you have a clear, unobstructed view to the east. Some do, like those on a ridge facing the Hudson. If you have such a gorgeous view toward sunrise, then you really shouldn’t miss this. Even if you don’t, it’s worth a look. Face east Saturday morning at 6:30 a.m. There’s the mystical-looking thin crescent Moon. Just above it floats a bright star, Jupiter. Just above Jupiter is a dim orange star, Mars. Thanks to the hit movie The Martian, Mars is in the spotlight right now. Then above Mars, highest up of all and also brightest, stands the glorious Morning Star, Venus. They’re all lined
up. What a sight. If you’re one of those who has a clear eastern horizon, look below the Moon, and the only “star” down there is Mercury. Sunday morning, the Moon is now lower at 6:30 a.m. You won’t even see it unless your eastern horizon is unobstructed. But if it’s clear in that direction, a single bright star hovers just to the left of that hair-thin crescent Moon: Mercury. High above them, still in a row, are Jupiter, then Mars and then Venus highest. Both mornings thus offer a dramatic alignment of every single naked-eye solar system object except for Saturn. You don’t need a telescope. Actually, though Saturn is in the evening sky, it’s only a couple of constellations over. Thus, all the planets are aligned in a single direction in space. The whole solar system is lopsided right now, like an out-of-balance washing machine.
Can I convince you to wake up at 6:30 a.m.? What if I tell you it’s the greatest planetary spectacle of the year?

Multiverse mania Are there parallel universes?
T
here’s lots of stuff over the horizon, beyond what we can ever see. Light from the farthest visible objects traveled for more than 13 billion years, from galaxies currently located some 40 billion light years away. There’s no reason for galaxies simply to stop existing at this visible boundary. Since we’ll be forever blind and ignorant of objects whose light can never reach Earth, we could call all that stuff a separate universe. Logically it has the same physical laws as ours. This is the most straightforward type of multiverse. After we accept the frustration of never knowing anything about those gazillion galaxies, stars and planets, nothing’s particularly weird about the situation. Some simply label that vast realm the Rest-o-Universe. Things get controversial and downright
bizarre when we introduce the main multiverse hypotheses – the ones that have intrigued the media for over a decade. One is called chaotic inflation. This says that as the cosmos wildly and forever increases size, separate non-inflating bubbles form. Each becomes a distinct universe permanently detached from all the others. No one can ever traverse the space between these bubbles, one of which is our own observable cosmos. Thus we have an infinitude of separate universes. A different multiverse involves string theory. Originally, theorists postulated tiny strings, along with eight hypothesized extra dimensions, as a hopeful way to explain the four forces. It has not succeeded. Beyond the utter lack of evidence for extra dimensions, it does not predict our universe. So it’s increasingly viewed as a failed theory. But it does “predict” ten-to-the-500th-power different ways in which reality can materialize. While this itself is widely deemed to be vague to the point of useless, some string theorists now say, “Hold on! We do predict something. If there’s a near-infinitude of other universes, each with different properties, then we’re correct because we said anything’s possible!” Hmmm. A very different multiverse is based on quantum theory’s Many Worlds Interpretation. We’ve known for more than 80 years that the act of observation can alter experimental results. But why? The MWI, a mainstream-if-minority interpretation of reality, claims that every choice in nature creates a separate universe that then breaks off from the others and continues on. If you turn left at an intersection instead of turning right, another “you” materializes who does indeed turn right. An entire new universe continues with that reality permanently enshrined. You are never aware of any other universe but the one you know, and the same is true of all the other yous who made other choices. Then you have the mathematical universe hypothesis, also called the Ultimate Ensemble. This multiverse contains everything that is mathematically possible. Naturally, it’s championed by those who think that mathematics is the basic reality of the cosmos, as opposed to being a human conceptual tool. This view says that everything that can happen mathematically does happen in its own separate universe. The Anthropic Principle provides more multiverse rationales. This is the fact that, while our universe is simple in many ways, it contains dozens of physical constants whose values are Goldilocks-perfect for life to exist. So why is ours a universe so precisely fine-tuned for life? By arguing for the existence of countless other random universes, the vast majority of which would not have the physical properties that permit life, multiverse advocates can say, “See? Taken as an

aggregate, nothing special is going on. The multiverse landscape contains every sort of universe, and we just happen to live within one of those that supports life.â&#x20AC;? It is a way to make our exceptional-seeming cosmos less extraordinary. A few other multiverse candidates exist as well, but you get the idea. Given the mass mediaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one-sided multiverse infatuation, it may be fairest to give the last word to a prominent skeptic. Columbia University mathematical physicist Peter Woit maintains a popular multiverse-critical blog, so I asked him to comment for this column. He pulled no punches: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Physicists had huge success in coming up with powerful, compelling fundamental theories during the 20th century,â&#x20AC;? he explained, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but the last 40 years or so have been difficult, with little progress. Unfortunately, some prominent theorists have now basically given up and decided to take an easy way out. The multiverse is invoked as an all-purpose, untestable excuse. They allow theoretical ideas like string theory that have turned out to be empty and consistent with anything to be kept alive instead of abandoned. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a depressing possibility that this is where physics ends up. But I still hope this is a fad that will soon die out. Finding a better, deeper understanding of the laws of physics is incredibly challenging, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s within our capability as humans, as long as the effort is not overwhelmed by those selling a nonanswer to the problem.â&#x20AC;? Whoa, intense. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to toss the multiverse if we care about science! Of course, if an infinite multiverse does exist, some other Peter Woit is out there saying the exact opposite. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Bob Berman Want to know more?

Bettina Mueller talks on A Tea Garden in Tivoli at Woodstockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Golden Notebook
Bettina Mueller is one of those locals who spent time away â&#x20AC;&#x201C; San Francisco, Hoboken and someplace out in Colorado â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and then came back. Brought up on a working dairy farm in Dutchess County, she played in fields and touched the earth. At Green Gulch, an organic vegetable farm outside Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bay Area, she came into contact with gardeners who rekindled her connection to the land and all that it can produce. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have compost that you would die for! Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s huge, a story high,â&#x20AC;? she says, fairly moaning with envy. When she moved back to the Hudson Valley 16 years ago, Mueller landed in a house in the Village of Tivoli, one with an eighth of an acre behind it. Green Gulchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s compost pile could fill it completely. Instead of wishing for that sort of wealth, she envisioned a small, enchanting garden, one based on the principles of Japanese design: simple yet beautiful, evocative of the calming effects of nature. For ten years, Mueller has tended such a garden in her own backyard, replete with a teahouse where the Zen ritual of tea is practiced. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s small, but it feels big; it feels like another world.â&#x20AC;? Author of A Taste of Heaven and Earth (nominated for a Julia Child Award) and The World in a Bowl of Tea, she has

ment on September 24 to transfer 3.11 acres of land and five buildings on the Dutchess County Fairgrounds to DCAS. CCEDC will continue to operate the 4-H programs during the annual six-day Dutchess County Fair and the annual Horse Camp via a lease agreement. The lease also includes provision for the 4-H program to use the barns, cafeteria and exhibit hall that it has traditionally used during other times of the year, with advance notice to the Fairgrounds administration. The DCAS will upgrade the facilities over the next three to five years, including water systems, power systems, infrastructure and aboveground housing facilities. CCEDC has owned property at the Fairgrounds since the 1940s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This sale of the property to the DCAS allows CCEDC to concentrate on what we do best: providing educational programming for Dutchess County youth through our wellloved 4-H program.â&#x20AC;? said Ruth A.

ot some structure in mind to build, expand or renovate, but want its environmental footprint to be as small as possible within your budget? The annual Hudson Valley Green Expo presented by the Hudson Valley Branch of the Upstate New York Chapter of the US Green Building Council (USGBC) is a great local resource for expanding your knowledge about the latest technologies and â&#x20AC;&#x153;best practicesâ&#x20AC;? in sustainability, as well as what local suppliers have to offer in the way of Earth-friendly materials and services. Returning on Wednesday, October 14 for its fourth incarnation at the Student Union building at SUNY-New Paltz, the Green Expo will not only showcase the likes of passive house designers, recycled content construction materials and cutting-edge HVAC technologies, but also provide access to industry leadersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; knowledge in energy-efficiency, water resource management and triple-bottomline business models and offer green tours of LEED buildings on the SUNY campus. The event goes on from 5 to 8 p.m. Innovative financing models for green building projects, where a little extra investment up front can yield enormous energy savings over a buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lifetime, constitute a key piece of the puzzle thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beginning to fall into place.

front door: an east-facing spot that enjoys some morning sun in summer, but shade from the nearby north wall the rest of the year. In short, it’s a perfect place for a summer vacation for my orchids, bonsai and cyclamen. The cyclamen is Cyclamen hederifolium, sometimes commonly called Persian violet (though a violet it is not – hence the need for botanical names). Although the flowers and leaves resemble those of the betterknown florist’s cyclamen (C. persicum), the two cyclamen species part company in some ways. Both the flowers and the leaves of Persian violet are much smaller than those of florist’s cyclamen, and the leaves of this diminutive species have decorative patterning. They resemble those of English ivy; hence the specific epithet hederifolium. Hedera is the botanical genus of English ivy. Flowers hover a few inches above the leaves on thin stalks, much like small pink butterflies. Best of all, Persian violet is cold-hardy where winter lows plummet as low as minus-20 degrees Fahrenheit. Florist’s cyclamen must be grown as a houseplant. Decades ago, I purchased seeds of Persian violet and managed to raise a small stable of plants. They are ideal for naturalizing in partially shaded areas. While naturalizing the cyclamens seemed like a good idea, the dainty cyclamens would be gobbled up by the exuberant growth coaxed in the rich soil here. So my carefully nurtured cyclamens remained in their pots, wintering in a very cold spot in my basement and summering on that

ledge near my front door. Lo and behold, this year I’ve noticed two little plants that have seeded themselves in the bit of soil where the flagstone terrace butts up again the ledge. The effect is subtle, to say the least; but the flowers are all the more charming for their shyness. I can appreciate the second half of Lord Tennyson’s p o e m ( “ L i tt l e flower – but if I could understand,/What you are, root and all, and all in all,/I should know what God and man is”), but feel no need – an aversion, in fact – to pluck the flower from its crannied wall. Years ago, I learned three things about growing cyclamen from seed: 1) Fresh seed is best. 2) Keep the growing medium consistently cool and moist. 3) Be patient; germination could take many weeks, and keep plants growing well for at least two years to allow the tuber to develop. After that, plants can begin their spring dormancy, flowering and sprouting new leaves in late summer – the latter lasting well into winter, depending on temperatures.

the rage in the foodie realm; here also, and my plan is to expand my ramp planting of two potted plants into a passel of ramps by growing them from seed. My experience in growing cyclamen from seed might come in handy here. Although both plants enjoy similar growing conditions – at least as far as the need for part shade in spring – the life cycle of ramps is different from cyclamens. Ramps sprout leaves in spring, send up a flower stalk, and then the leaves fade away as the plant goes dormant. The flower stalk remains, developing a head full of seeds – which I collected last week. I planted the small seeds in potting soil in a flowerpot. The journey begins. Those seeds could take anywhere from six to 18 months to sprout. When just ripe, ramp seeds have an underdeveloped embryo: a situation that inhibits germination. Keeping the seed warm and moist permits development of the embryo and, eventually, root growth. Once root dormancy has been broken, there’s still shoot dormancy to contend with. Shoots won’t grow until the seeds, with their root sprouts, have experienced a period of cool, moist conditions – that is, they recognize that winter is over and it’s safe to send a green shoot above ground. If root dormancy isn’t completed before winter sets in, it has to finish the following year, with shoot dormancy needing fulfilling after that: 18 months after sowing. Fulfilling root dormancy before winter allows shoot growth the following spring: six months after sowing. I’m making sure of root dormancy being

October 8, 2015 fulfilled before cold weather sets in by keeping the pot of seeds moist and in the greenhouse. Temperatures are cool in the greenhouse in winter, so I’m expecting – hoping – for sprouts to appear by late winter. Growing ramps and cyclamen from seed are similar in that a prime ingredient for success is patience. In the case of ramps, if everything goes right, I could be harvesting my first homegrown ramps in five to seven years.
Postcards from Down East Maine offers several attractions for gardening buffs
T
wo dogs, one cat, six ducks and one chicken are entrusted to the care of friends; sourdough starter is re-fed and chilled; plants are on their own. It’s hard to leave the farmden. But this trip – to Maine – is well worth it. Walking through the entrance gate to the Common Ground Fair in Unity, Maine, my senses are overloaded with color and fragrance. Along either side of the entrance path are boxes piled high with bright-orange carrots, spilling over with the blue-green leaves of kale or packed full with yellow or red beets; also flowers, herbs and cheeses. Pervasive is the resiny fragrance of sweet Annie (Artemisia annuuas), which for some reason seems to be perennially the signature herb of the fair. Buckets are filled with stems for sale; knapsacks sprout bunches of purchased sweet Annie from their zippered pockets; and girls and women sport woven sweet Annie headdresses. From the shade of tents on either side of the walkway, Maine’s myriad organic farmers are hawking their wares. Sweet Annie isn’t the only fragrant herb at the fair. In the tent devoted to some of Maine’s political groups, buds of marijuana – medical marijuana – are available for olfactory sampling. Central to the Common Ground Fair, like all country fairs, are agriculture and rural skills. A team of oxen strain under the weight of logs that they are pulling. Border collies bear down on sheep, demonstrating their herding skills and the training skills of their owners. A bearded young man swings an adze as

the log on which he is standing takes on a square cross-section. Another bearded man helps a young boy pull a bow back and forth until smoke curls up from the round maple peg rubbing the round notch in a maple board: firemaking without matches. In other tents – these with closed, darkened flaps – someone standing near a flap holds the attention of a seated crowd in the darkened interior. No, not a cult gathering; throughout each of the three
fair days, workshops are offered in such diverse topics as “Farm-Raised Kids on an Organic Farm in Maine,” “Backyard Grain-Growing,” “Advanced Seed-Saving,” “Growing Grass-Fed Vegetables” and “Weedless Gardening.” (The last was one of the three workshops I held at the fair.) Common Ground Fair is “retro”: an improvement on country and county fairs, in doing less. No amplified voices of barkers try to woo you in to win a stuffed gorilla. In fact, a three-yearold boy trying to pound an oversized sledgehammer onto a pad as a test of strength (with a lot of help from his Mom) was the only strength or skill test I saw – and no prizes offered. No rides either. No fun? Given the happy whoops of the slew of children running up a grassy slope with flattened cardboard boxes, then jumping on them with a running start to slide down, I’d say that they were having fun. Just about everything at the fair is made or grown in Maine. (Used to be that everything had to be grown in Maine, which put coffee-drinkers on edge. Maineroasted coffee is now available at the fair.) Twilight is wondrous at the fair, mostly because you can see the twilight. No strings of electric lights bring the fair to new life at the end of the day. Most people leave. The only light, besides the setting sun, is the soft yellow glow of lanterns or campfires. The fragrance of the campfires and the sounds of campers’ homegrown music around the campfires are the parting senses as I leave the fair.
In the footsteps of Beatrix Farrand
and thrive. The gardens, the experimental plantings and their descriptions in Farrand’s Reef Point Bulletins were all part of her vision of Reef Point as an educational enterprise. Alas, Reef Point Gardens did not fulfill the vision: Wildfire and lack of funding forced Farrand to downsize. She dismantled Reef Point and moved to an addition that she had built attached to the home of Lewis and Amy Garland, the superintendent and chief horticulturalist of her Reef Point estate. Garland Farm – my last stop on my visit to Maine – was Beatrix Farrand’s final design, incorporating many architectural elements and plants salvaged from Reef Point. In contrast to Farrand’s other projects – which included designs for Princeton University, the Rockefellers’ Seal Harbor estate, the Mount (home of Edith Wharton, Farrand’s aunt), Dumbarton Oaks (my favorite of all gardens) and the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden – Garland Farm is a small garden. Looking out the French doors of Farrand’s study at Garland Farm onto the small parterre garden, your eyes are carried along a path to a Buddhist statue. Along that path are beds home to lavender, heathers and other plants with year-round effect. The whole area is defined by a low balustrade, setting it off from the view of the meadow and grove of Norway spruce trees in the distance. This garden incorporates the same design principles – axis, year-round effect, structure and integration of views – on an intimate scale, that were so successful in Beatrix Farrand’s larger projects. – Lee Reich Any gardening questions?

Eleanor White exhibition opens this Saturday at Beacon’s Matteawan Gallery
Beatrix Farrand and Cubby, 1927 (Courtesy of the Beatrix Farrand Society Archives)
Beatrix Farrand is a name that most people do not recognize, although she was a woman who created some of the most beautiful landscapes and gardens in the world. And she did so at a time – in the early 20th century – when such professions were not open to women. Much of her landscape work was in Maine, on Mount Desert Island, as was her home, Reef Point. Reef Point was Farrand’s family estate; under her care, it evolved into a horticultural Heaven, with garden areas woven together by grassy paths. Spruce trees created microclimates that allowed azaleas and other plants not usually adapted to the cold of Maine winters and the buffeting by ocean winds to survive
Eleanor White, the Beacon-based artist who opens a new exhibit at the Matteawan Gallery in her hometown this weekend (after a host of increasingly noteworthy and noted shows in regional galleries over recent years) may be the epitome of process artists. She works on paper, but with a wide range of materials – eggshells, chocolate, roses, wood ash and playing cards among them – that lend her Minimalist ruminations on 1960s and ‘70s graphic and interior design complexities far beyond their drawing bases. As she puts it, the individual pieces
become part of a larger exploration of the way things change, and the residue of all transformations. They also indicate an underlying treasure lode of collecting that for many is the root of all aesthetic decisionmaking. It’s sweet, evocative and energetic work, with a warm quaintness to it all. – Paul Smart “Eleanor White: Eggshells & Ashes” opening reception, Saturday, October 10, 6-9 p.m., through November 8, Matteawan Gallery, 436 Main Street, Beacon; (845) 440-7901, www.matteawan.com.
Half Moon Theatre’s I Loved, I Lost, I Made Spaghetti opens this Friday at CIA in Hyde Park I Loved, I Lost, I M a d e Spaghetti is the name of the new one-woman Half Moon Theatre Company production at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park. Starring Hudson Valley resident and Drama Desk winner Denise Summerford, and based on Giulia Melucci’s best-selling memoir as adapted by Jacques Lamarre, it’s about the madcap adventures of a single New Yorker looking for love while cooking a three-course dinner (including homemade pasta) live on stage during the production’s length. In addition to regular seating, each performance of I Loved, I Lost, I Made Spaghetti will feature a limited number of onstage seats for those wishing to share the lead character’s three-course meal during the show. It’s part of Half Moon Theatre’s ambitious second season, set to include an upcoming adaptation of A Christmas Carol, the comedy Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike, a cabaret dinner-accompanying series called “Downstairs at the Marriott” and a new twist on the old Ten-Minute Play Festival where patrons will sample an array of delectable dishes (featured in each of the ten-minute plays) after the production. – Paul Smart Half Moon Theatre’s I Loved, I Lost, I Made Spaghetti, October 9-25, $45/$90, Marriott Pavilion Auditorium, Culinary Institute of America, Route 9, Hyde Park; (800) 838-3006, ciarestaurantgroup@culinary.edu.

Someone is watching you Bard’s Hannah Arendt Center hosts “ Why Privacy Matters” conference featuring Skyped -in Edward Snowden next week
T
he play of darkness and light – the critical need for both – was rarely more eloquently described than in the writings of political philosopher Hannah Arendt. Arendt is best-known as a chronicler of a specific sort of darkness. Reporting for The New Yorker, she witnessed the trial of Adolph Eichmann, the man whose darkness she famously characterized as embodying “the banality of evil.” But there was another sort of darkness that Arendt wrote about: the crucial need for what she called “the security of darkness.” It’s that sort of darkness that will be the subject of a twoday international conference titled “Why Privacy Matters” at the Hannah Arendt Center for Politics and Humanities at Bard College on October 15 and 16. The Hannah Arendt Center calls itself the world’s most expansive home for bold and risky humanities thinking, and this year’s conference promises to fulfill that description, in spades. Among the conference’s 21 distinguished participants will be the world’s most controversial privacy advocate: National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden. To add to an extra helping of boldness, the conference will include Robert Litt, the man charged with prosecuting Snowden in Litt’s capacity as second general counsel of the Office of the Director of National
Intelligence. (Snowden, who was granted a three-year asylum in Russia, will join the discussion by satellite.) The conference’s theme and the Center’s raison d’etre are both inspired by the spirit of Hannah Arendt, one of the leading political philosophers of the modern era. Arendt, who died in 1975 and is buried on the Bard campus grounds, could not have imagined the surveillancesoaked world that we live in today. But she recognized in her writings the importance of privacy, calling it “the essential refuge for a human uniqueness.” In daily life, she writes, we “return back from the outside world and withdraw into the security of private life within four walls.” These walls of the private “enclose a secure place, without which no living thing can thrive.” For Arendt, “Everything that lives, not vegetative life alone, emerges from darkness and, however strong its natural tendency to thrust itself into the light, it nevertheless needs the security of darkness to grow at all.” Arendt acknowledged that while privacy guards “the dark recesses of the human heart,” its loss can have a corrosive effect on the individual and on the body politic: “We all transgress taboos and even a few laws. Yet, when we are forced to police private urges and actions by
Why do we willfully participate in the loss of our privacy? How is it that we so rarely register its loss?

public standards, our belief in public morality appears hypocritical. Distrusting ourselves, we trust no one, which is the source of cynicism of political life.” Contrast those graceful words with this blunt assessment by Scott McNealy, former CEO of Sun Microsystems: “You have zero privacy anyway. Get over it.” Believing that McNealy’s words are a more accurate reflection of the public attitude toward privacy, the conference’s organizers expect to explore why privacy seems to have become a ho-hum issue in society. The questions that they’ll be addressing are as intriguing as they are important to every realm of our lives: Why, for example, do we willfully participate in the loss of our privacy? How is it that we so rarely register its loss? Do we simply value privacy less? When indiscretions are knowable, who will have the courage to enter public life? Can we hold government and business accountable for their use of private data? Why is government becoming more secret as individuals embrace transparency? Just a few of those who’ll be exploring, if not answering, those provocative questions include: David Brin, Hugo Award-winning

science fiction writer and author of the nonfiction book The Transparent Society: Will Technology Force Us to Choose between Freedom and Privacy?

Saturday afternoon Meditations on Jervis McEntee retrospective at the Dorsky Museum
K
evin J. Avery, associate curator at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, gave a talk on Kingston artist Jervis McEntee at the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art at SUNY-New Paltz last Saturday afternoon. On that day as on later days, the October change of season seemed more pronounced after such a sunny September. The day felt cold and restless, as though it were absentmindedly later in the month than it should have been. The Friends of Historic Kingston have mounted a more modest McEntee show, open through October 31. The New Paltz exhibition, not to be missed, closes December 13. These tandem shows mark the first comprehensive retrospective of McEntee’s work. The Metropolitan Museum of Art lent the sparkling Dorsky exhibit an 1875 oil painting called Saturday Afternoon. The picture, painted three years after Winslow Homer’s Snap the Whip, painted in the Hurley Flats, was one of the few McEntee landscapes with a lot of human figures – about 15 – scattered across it. These people weren’t there solely to establish a sense of scale. The women in the foreground, mostly in browns and grays, are doing things: starting a fire, huddled in pairs (à la Homer). The guys are single figures in black or blue, standing in pondwater or sitting on a streambank. Across a meadow in front of more indistinct trees are grazing black livestock. On a hillside, perhaps half a mile away, one can see what looks like a simple stone house. A vigorous dappled sky occupies the top half of the painting. The light in the distance seems to be fading the way it would be in a late autumn afternoon. As Avery noted, McEntee liked to paint nocturnes, “times of deliberate vagueness.” “Looks like a McEntee day outside,” observed Dorsky Museum director Sara Pasti in her brief introductory remarks prior to Avery’s talk. And indeed it was. In Saturday Afternoon, some leaves are clinging to the trees for dear life while others have already fallen near the huddled pairs of figures. The women in the foreground all wear headgear. McEntee (1828-1891) was largely self-taught, but for a short period of time, he studied under Frederic Church. He built his studio on the grounds of his parents’ property above the village of Rondout in present-day Kingston. The studio – a large and historically significant building – was designed by McEntee’s lifelong friend and brother-in-law Calvert Vaux, the Englishman who co-designed Central Park. Like other art historians have done, Avery paints McEntee as a melancholic, battling depression. At least in words, McEntee struggled against such a characterization. “I would not reproduce a late November scene if it saddened me or seemed sad to me,” he wrote. “In that season of the year, Nature is not sad to me, but quiet, pensive, restful.” On a Saturday afternoon 140 years later, Avery had the last word: “He left a diary,” said the art historian about the artist. “Big mistake.” Suppose both men are correct. Though burdened by a degree of isolation, suppose McEntee came alive most when he was painting, when he was making choices among colors, lines and spaces. True, Saturday Afternoon may have been imitative to some degree. But the fact that every McEntee painting seemed to remind Avery of some other artist’s work may say more about Avery than it does about McEntee. With winter closing in on this Saturday afternoon, it seemed more appropriate to celebrate McEntee’s choices about how vigorously he chose to paint a sky, or how many black cows should dot the far side of his meadow, or which trees would lose their leaves, than to critique these choices as the decisions of a lesser artist. Perhaps another Saturday might bring a different judgment. – Geddy Sveikauskas

So many people ask me what the secret of my happiness is. I know that we have a choice in life to make ourselves happy or miserable. It takes exactly the same effort. Believe it or not, often the key to making yourself happy is simply putting a broad smile on your face. You may not smile because you are cheerful; but if you will force yourself to smile, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll end up laughing. You will be cheerful because you smile. Repeated experiments prove that when a person assumes the facial expressions of a given mental mood â&#x20AC;&#x201D; any given mood â&#x20AC;&#x201D; then that mental mood itself will follow. Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Thich Nhat Hanh Wi nM

Situations Wanted
FOSTER HOMES NEEDED FOR KITTENS AND PREGNANT CATS. The WOODSTOCK FERAL CAT PROJECT is a local not for profit organization committed to reducing future feral cat populations through spay/neuter. We often find orphaned kittens who need a loving home until they are old enough to be adopted. Some orphaned kittens are so young that they require bottle feeding. We affectionately call them “bottle babies”. We recently placed three pregnant cats in three wonderful homes. The cats gave birth and when the kittens are weaned (no longer nursing), we will look to find loving homes for the kittens and their mothers. If you are interested in fostering or would like to learn more about fostering, please call (917) 2822018 or email DRJLPK@AOL.COM. DIANA’S FANCY FLEA MARKET: Nice Items Needed for Next Sale!
