1. “Why Privacy Matters”conference at Bard to feature Edward Snowden The 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 two-day 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

half moon theatre

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 surveillance-soaked 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 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?

Rochelle Gurstein, author of The Repeal of Reticence: America’s Cultural and Legal Struggles over Free Speech, Obscenity, Sexual Liberation and Modern Art. Ann Lauterbach, an American poet and writer and recipient of both a MacArthur Fellowship and a Guggenheim Fellowship for Creative Arts.

Uday Singh Mehta, author of The Anxiety of Freedom: Imagination and Individuality in the Political Thought of John Locke and Liberalism and Empire.

Fritz Schwarz, chief counsel for the Church Commission, investigating activities of the US Intelligence agencies, and recipient of the 2014 Ridenhour Courage Prize, which is presented to individuals for their courageous and lifelong defense of the public interest and commitment to

social justice.  For a full conference schedule and bios of featured speakers, visit www.bard.edu/ hannaharendtcenter/conference-fall15.

2. Mills Mansion hosts Gathering of Old Cars this Sunday Short of the colorful splendor of fall foliage, there’s nothing that puts a smile on the face of someone on a driving errand quite like spotting mintcondition classic automobiles as they pass through your neck of the woods for some car-collectors’ wingding.

That will be happening in Dutchess County this weekend, as hundreds of antique cars converge on the lawn of Mills Mansion at the Staatsburgh State Historic Site.

The annual Gathering of Old Cars returns this Sunday, October 18 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission to view the fancy flivvers and chat with their proud owners is free, but for the usual entry fee you can tour the stately Beaux-Arts home as well. The Great Lawn offers a fantastic view of the Hudson and the Catskills at the peak of leaf-peeping season, so it’s a terrific excuse for a multipurpose outing with something to please pretty much everyone, from motorheads to museumgoers to outdoorsy types.

The Staatsburgh State Historic Site is located at 75 Mills Mansion Drive in Staatsburg. – Frances Marion Platt

Mid-Hudson Woodworkers’ Show this Saturday in Hurley Woodworking is defined as “the activity or skill of making items from wood� – items such as furniture, sculpture and artistic renderings, tools and other practical applications.

The craft includes carving, joinery, inlay and carpentry. But this definition barely touches that primal element imbued in objects fashioned from wood. And the artistry involved when a woodworker turns a bowl or builds a musical instrument can enhance the natural material beyond simply shaping it to comply with a practical form.

In the hands of a skilled artisan, rough lumber can be transformed to almost

any shape and function.

Once again, the Mid-Hudson Woodworkers, a local chapter of the Northeastern Woodworkers’ Association (NWA), will be showing their wares in Hurley on Saturday, October 17. The ninth annual Mid-Hudson Woodworkers’ Show will feature the works of more than 20 artisans, who will also conduct demonstrations of woodworking techniques, do WoodMizer and Logs to Lumber demonstrations and display the products of their craft. Visitors can shop for special gifts for children, including wooden cars and planes, and they will be able to make a wooden pen on the spot.

A raffle for special items will send some lucky attendees home with something really unique.

And best of all, folks can come away with

The Mid-Hudson chapter, an all-volunteer non-profit organization, meets on the third Thursday of every month at 7:30 p.m.at the Hurley Reformed Church.

The membership conducts classes and workshops separately (some held at Opdahl Farm on Wynkoop Road) and in conjunction with the NWA. Meetings include guest speakers, show-and-tell and members-helping-members sessions.

There is a lending library of books and audiovisual materials, and the Association also works with community groups and non-profits in woodworking. – Ann Hutton Mid-Hudson Woodworkers’ Show, Saturday, October 17, 10 a.m.-5 p.m., $3, Hurley Reformed Church, 11 Main Street, Hurley; (845) 462-2747, www.midhudsonwoodworkers.org.

A Wedding in Transylvania this Thursday in Kingston You can count on Cornell Street Studios in Kingston always to be hooking into the regional zeitgeist, at its most populist, with fun aplomb. Consider its presentation, this Thursday, of Frank and Kristin Marquette’s annual production of A Wedding in Transylvania as a means of getting the spooky season fully underway in delectably scary dinner-theater fashion.

All attendees are encouraged to come in costume to witness the marriage of distant cousin Frankie Alucard to Jane Dough, a mysterious girl from the mortal side of the tracks, with a host of oddball and somewhat threatening far-flung family members and friends on hand. It’s the event’s 13th outing (talk about auspicious!), and appetizers, desserts and refreshments will all be supplied by Stone Soup Food Co. of Kingston. Oo-ee-oooooo. – Paul Smart Theatre on the Road’s A Wedding in Transylvania, Thursday, October 15, 7 p.m., $35/advance, $45/door, Cornell Street Studios, 168 Cornell Street, Kingston; (845) 594-4428, www.cornellstreetstudios.com.

FALL FAMILY FUN FESTIVAL AT ASHOKAN CENTER IN OLIVEBRIDGE

I

f you grew up in a region like ours that has a proper autumn, the spicy scent of fallen foliage is bound to evoke joyful childhood memories of raking leaves into a pile enormous enough to jump into and bury yourself up to the neck. Fall brings with it so many rustic pleasures: hayrides, apple-cidering, pumpkin-painting, dancing to bluegrass and oldtimey music‌all of which will be featured this Sunday, October 18 at the Ashokan Center’s Fall Family Fun Festival.

For the accessible entry price of $5 for anyone over age 3, you’ll also be able to watch live demonstrations of the Colonial Era crafts of blacksmithing and broommaking or go for a nature hike. Kids can have their faces painted, or for an extra materials fee participate in a hands-on, take-home crafts project. Food and fall treats will available from Ashokan’s executive chef, Bill Warnes. The day’s activities run from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., with live music by Jay Ungar and Molly Mason and Annie and the Hedonists beginning at noon.

The Ashokan Center is located at 477 Beaverkill Road in Olivebridge. For more information, visit http://ashokancenter.org or www.facebook.com/events/1723682494520392. – Frances Marion Platt

Day of Jewish Learning In this time of strange reconsiderations of Jewish history by evangelical Christian politicians, the idea of Ulster County’s second annual Day of Jewish Learning – to take place as a joint project between the Jewish Federation of Ulster County and SUNYUlster in Stone Ridge at the college all day Sunday, November 15 – is more important than ever.

To help raise funds for the upcoming

event, a special kosher wine-tasting will be held this coming Sunday, October 18 at a private home near Woodstock.

Thinking sweet and grapey? According to event coordinator Yeshoshua Werth, the manager at the Grapevine Wines store in Rockland County who will be leading the event, kosher wine is made just like other table wine, with an extra set of rules to make it consistent with Jewish dietary law, including the supervision of a rabbi.

Samples and for-purchase items, he adds, will be available from France, Italy, Israel,

Rosendale Theatre screens â&#x20AC;&#x153;green burialâ&#x20AC;? doc this Sunday In this day of social events where participants talk about deaths and final plans, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only right that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a new movement about the concept of green burials, and moving away from that expensive and odd â&#x20AC;&#x153;American Way of Dyingâ&#x20AC;? that once provoked an entire serio-comedy from HBO, Six Feet Under. And even more natural: a big-hearted new documentary on the movement, A Will for the Woods, which will be showing at the Rosendale Theatre this Sunday, October 18.

The film, which will be presented by its co-director with a question-andanswer session after the screening, follows musician, folkdancer and psychiatrist Clark Wang as he prepares for his own green burial after a terminal diagnosis, and his determination to have his final resting place benefit the Earth: a natural alternative to resource-intensive burial (embalming, various coffins et cetera) or cremation. Clark sets out to save a tract of forest with the help of green burial pioneers and the compassionate owner of a cemetery, and the film chronicles the steps that he takes toward fulfilling a wish.

The screening will serve as a benefit for Circle of Friends for the Dying, a local 501 (c) (3) not-for-profit.

“Luminous Landscape” show in Rhinebeck this Saturday I was chaperoning a dozen or so elementary school kids around the State Capitol in Albany a few weeks back when we came upon a corridor of New York paintings, capturing the various regions and moods of the Em-

pire State. The coolest of the bunch, the kids all agreed, were several Hudson Valley scenes where the skies and mountains seemed to shine. The other teachers and I started to explain the idea of the “luminous landscape,” and how so much art strives to capture the godlike in nature.

I should just take that entire class to Albert Shahinian Fine Art in Rhinebeck over the coming months for the veteran gallerist’s 18 th annual “Luminous Landscape” show.

EVENT

The Burning of Kingston

B

e on the alert for Colonial Era British soldiers marching in the streets of Kingston this weekend: It could signal the retaking of our nation by the Redcoats! Or not. Our national status is firmly established, but the dramatic reenactment of that day in 1777 when the Colonial powers attempted to thwart independence gives us the opportunity to get in touch with our own history.

The Burning of Kingston is a weekendlong biennial celebration of the bravery, sacrifice and resilience of those early colonists who endured the actual demolition of their town. More than 300 homes and barns were reduced to ashes when they were torched in the invasion led by British major general John Vaughan, which forced people into temporary exodus. And because Kingston was then the capital of New York, this successful British campaign pushed the state government further north, where it would eventually settle at Albany. Since most of the local militia was fighting battles elsewhere (such as at the Battle of Saratoga), the vulnerable city burned down in just hours. The event was a dramatic moment in the American Revolutionary War that hardened the determination of colonists to gain their independence, and for local citizens to rebuild Kingston stronger than ever.

Now, over two centuries later, relative peace pervades the streets of town, and all animosity between the Brits and Americans has dissipated. Reenacting history reminds us where we came from and how we got here. It informs us of the customs and conditions under which our forebears lived. And it fascinates us to “try on” a Colonial activity: something as simple as dipping candles or pressing apples for cider, smoking meat in a barrel and cooking with historical authenticity, all while enjoying the camp life and music of the 1700s. Kids can make their own dried-apple wreaths and authentic cornhusk dolls, and pretend to live in another era altogether. Produced every two years by the First Ulster Militia in cooperation with the City of Kingston, the Burning of Kingston reenactment draws participants and spectators in an ever-growing dramatic scenario.

The opening reception will take place at the Hudson River Maritime Museum in the Historic Rondout neighborhood from 4 to 7 p.m. on Friday, and will include costumed interpreters from the New Windsor Cantonment State Historic Site, along with musket- and cannon-firings, 18th-century medical demos, kids’ activities and a documentary film on Fort Montgomery.

The reenactment will move from the waterfront to the Persen House in Uptown Kingston, where the Colonial “Committee of Safety” will meet to make its plans. The Stockade District will come alive with characters and action with candlelight tales in the Old Dutch Church cemetery, where the long-dead will rise up to regale citizens with firsthand accounts of the whole dreadful ordeal.

On Saturday, visitors can hear organ music throughout the day at the Old Dutch Church. The Friends of Historic Kingston will offer a special Burning of Kingston Walking Tour starting in the Stockade District and going by bus through historic locations throughout the City of Kingston. In the Rondout neighborhood, a second walking tour will take place. For information and tickets visit www.fohk.org.

Meanwhile, the British invasion at Kingston Point Beach and the resistance of the Colonists begin in earnest! That afternoon, local theater troupe the Coach House Players will perform at the Farmers’ Market on Wall Street, doing a reading in costume of the song, “Ballad for Americans.” Maneuvers continue all afternoon from Forsyth Park to the Senate House, and British Redcoats will march through the streets for a final battle scene. A mock trial will have Kingston’s mayor charged with treason.

And back in the camps, reenactors will continue to play out their various roles.

The Grand Ball will be held on Saturday evening in the Common Council Chambers at Kingston City Hall – just a little diversion from all the violence and confusion will be needed by then – with instruction in 18th-century dance and live music.

Both reenactors and the community are invited, and since instruction is provided, one does not have to be familiar with the dance styles to participate. This is your chance to don Colonial garb (it’s encouraged but not required), and there will be refreshments available. The entire event is free of charge.

Sunday morning, the action begins again at Forsyth Park, where reenactor camps will be open to the public to witness assembly, safety inspections, company drills and more demonstrations, including the “Battle of Upper Forsyth Park”: a tactical demo showing the activities of both American and British troops. From the mustering of the militia to the frenzied panic amongst townspeople, the entire extravaganza will have you feeling history in a way that you’ve never before felt it.

The recreated First Ulster Militia was reorganized in 1996 with the purpose to educate the public about our Colonial and Revolutionary War heritage, to support and promote local historical sites and to work to maintain historical accuracy. A mix of drama, commemoration and celebration, the Burning of Kingston is a citywide event, with many local businesses and organizations offering discounts to those who wear Colonial attire. Check the website for a list of participating restaurants offering discounts of some kind over the weekend.

the preservation and interpretation of the historic scene, material culture and diversity of the region.” The awards will be presented at the GHHN “Creativity Connects” annual conference on October 16 at SUNY-Purchase.

The Friends of Historic Kingston were the only organization to win two awards.

October 15, 2015 and “Jervis McEntee” was commended for being a quality exhibition. In confirming the awards, Priscilla Brendler, executive director of GHHN, said, “It is an honor for the Greater Hudson Heritage Network to present the Award for Excellence to projects that exemplify creativity and professional vision that contribute to the preservation and interpretation of the historic scene, material culture and diversity of the region. This year’s awardee, the Friends of Historic Kingston, epitomizes this spirit.”

Jane Kellar, Friends of Historic Kingston’s executive director, thanked GHHN, saying, “The Friends is grateful for this recognition of its hard work and creativity over the past year-and-a-half.

These two exhibitions would not have been possible without the contributions of hundreds of hours of volunteer time and funding from generous supporters: private individuals and entities like the Local Economies Project, New York State Council on the Arts, the New York Council for the Humanities and Arts Mid-Hudson.

We thank them all.”

Catalogues for both “Jervis McEntee: Kingston’s Artist of the Hudson River School” and “Kingston: The IBM Years” are co-published with Black Dome Press and are still available either through the Friends’ bookstore (www.fohk.org/ welcome/our-properties/publications) or directly from Black Dome Press (http:// shopping.blackdomepress.com).

“Jervis McEntee: Kingston’s Artist of the Hudson River School” is on view through October 31 on Fridays and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Friends of Historic Kingston Gallery at the corner of Wall and Main Streets in Uptown Kingston (www. fohk.org). “Kingston: The IBM Years” can be seen online in an abbreviated version at http://omeka.hrvh.org/exhibits/show/ kingston-the-ibm-years.

2nd Annual Who’s not thinking scary already, given the fast approach of a Saturdaynight Halloween later this month? For those who haven’t already gotten their costumes in gear, thoughts are on what will be worn come All Hallows’ Eve. And to get fully in the mood, folks are also already spooking themselves out with haunted happenings up and down the Hudson Valley, including the return of Haunted Huguenot Street to New Paltz over the coming three weekends.

Talk about a full evening’s PG-rated fun! Things start with a presentation at the historic Jean Hasbrouck House to learn all about the nightmares of a guilty young 18th-century boy, based on an actual diary, then proceed to a nearby burial ground where the dead rise and speak about their lives and deaths à la Edgar Lee Masters’ great Spoon River Anthology. Finally, inspired by decades of reported paranormal experiences, guests will visit the Deyo House mansion, where a housemaid demonstrates what being haunted by a tragically demised ghost looks, sounds and feels like.

“These stories are not told for shock value,” said Thomas Weikel, director of strategy and historic interpretation at Historic Huguenot Street. “Rather, they have roots in actual facts, fears and events from the street’s past. Sometimes, the truth can be scarier than fiction.”

Everything starts off at the historic landmark’s DuBois Fort Visitor Center on the hour, starting at 5 p.m., and proceed until a final tour leaves at 10 p.m. The entire street will be decorated, including

N

ow that the Marriott Pavilion Theatre on the campus of the Culinary Institute of America (CIA) in Hyde Park has become the home base of Poughkeepsieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Half Moon Theatre company, the oven-mitt gauntlet has been thrown down: How many plays can the collaborating institutions produce that revolve thematically around food, or better yet, require actual onstage cooking? Half Moonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fall season has found one comedy candidate that precisely fits the bill: I Loved, I Lost, I Made Spaghetti, adapted

by Jacques Lamarre from Giulia Melucciâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eponymous best-selling, recipestudded memoir. Directed by Michael Schiralli, it opened last Friday and runs weekends through October 25.

JENNIFER KIABA

Denise Summerford stars in I Loved, I Lost, I Made Spaghetti, directed by Michael Schiralli, running at Half Moon Theatre at The Culinary Institute of America until October 25 (weekends only). During the performance, Summerford whips up a three-course meal from scratch as she riffs spiritedly about past loves lost.

about a young professional woman in New York who woos a series of men â&#x20AC;&#x201C; two-dimensional losers all â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with the traditional Italian cuisine that she learned from her female forebears. Cooking such comfort food is how she consoles herself as well, each time a promising romantic relationship deflates. Not once does the script stray near the psychological borders of negative body image and eating disorders that form the dark side of the food = love equation; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all in good fun.

Sound like a story that might be laden with ethnic stereotypes? It is, though the only one that direly needs excising from the script is a cringeworthy drunkenIrishman vignette. One ex-boyfriend (the commitment-phobe) teaches Giulia a smattering of Yiddish; another (the freeloader) speaks in a Scottish brogue.

The heroine has the requisite big-heartedbut-interfering Italian Mama, who regularly interrupts the show with phone calls that telegraph the playâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ending from the get-go. Meanwhile, Giulia is preparing food for her â&#x20AC;&#x153;guestsâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; theater patrons willing to spend some extra bucks to sit onstage and actually eat the meal that the Drama Desk Award-winning actress Denise Summerford makes before their eyes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and addressing them directly as she reminisces about her various courtship misfires.

Besides being a novel approach to deconstructing the fourth wall, this play presents several immense challenges to the actress playing Giulia. For starters, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a one-woman show â&#x20AC;&#x201C; essentially a 56page monologue. Onstage monologists

typically work with material that they wrote themselves, but Summerford had to memorize someone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s script. The newness of it showed a bit during the press run-through on opening weekend, with the actress periodically having to request a line prompt. But that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to matter much, because in her performance, Summerford â&#x20AC;&#x201C; descendent of a long line of Italian cooks herself â&#x20AC;&#x201C; made the material decidedly her own,

ALMANAC WEEKLY

October 15, 2015

The weakest component of I Loved, I Lost, I Made Spaghetti is the writing, which relies too heavily on an excess of 1980s pop-culture references to ground the tale in the Manhattan publishing milieu in which Melucci worked as a young woman. Don’t look for profound character development, either, as the narrator apparently learns little from one plunge after another into ill-advised romances with unsuitable men. Still, there’s plenty of matter for levity in Giulia’s misadventures, and if one joke falls flat, there are two better ones right behind it to lift the proceedings to quite an enjoyable level again. Summerford delivers the laugh lines in spades, and doesn’t wallow in rue for long when gullible-but-feisty Giulia’s love life goes awry again.

Entertainmentwise, you can carbo-load at I Loved, I Lost, I Made Spaghetti and still walk away with a feeling of lightness.

But we all need to treat ourselves to some empty calories now and then, don’t we?

Check it out at 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and at 2 p.m. on Sundays, October 16 to 18 and 23 to 25. Tickets for regular seating cost $45 general admission, $40 for seniors and $35 for matinées. To order, call (800) 838-3006 or visit www.halfmoontheatre.org.

with grace, humor and spunk.

The other challenging element that makes this gig truly a tour de force is the need to whip up a three-course meal from scratch and riff spiritedly about past loves lost, all at the same time – transgressing the old “Show, don’t tell” theater rule by telling about one thing while showing another. That includes mixing and kneading handmade pasta dough and cranking it repeatedly through a pastamaking machine for Giulia’s spaghetti Bolognese: a task requiring considerable elbow grease, as anyone who has ever attempted it can attest.

Summerford doesn’t even get winded, chattering on gamely throughout, shooting out eye contact to various parts of the audience even as she’s swiftly chopping onions like a pro. To keep things visually interesting, she has to come out from behind the CIA’s portable cooktop

een hereabouts in recent years creating dances based on the archives of the Woodstock Historical Society in Overlook and blending contemporary radio news with classical Persian culture at Olana in Geographica, Hélène Lesterlin is director of programs at Mount Tremper Arts and a performance artist whose disciplinary niche is virtually unclassifiable. Her longtime obsession has been collecting and studying traditional European beast-fables and their manifestations in songs, tapestries and other artforms, even naming her Saugerties base of operations Studio Reynard.

Lesterlin has long been at work on a satirical, multipart theatrical magnum opus whose populist antihero is Reynard the Fox, utilizing troubadours, costumed dancers and hand, stick and shadow puppets.

That work, collectively titled Fox vs. Kingdom, is projected to premiere in its entirety in 2016. The latest episode under development will be performed this Saturday, October 17 in the Old Glenford Church in the context of a dinner salon, meant to evoke a medieval feast at which entertainment is served along with a “locally sourced and handcrafted” meal. Sculptor/ baker Mor Pipman’s “artist-run pop-up restaurant” is being transformed into Café Isegrim – named after Reynard’s lupine nemesis – especially for the occasion.

Café Isegrim will open with dinner at 6:30 p.m., and the performance, featuring Anastacia Bolina, Laura Brenneman and Lesterlin herself, will wrap up around 9:30. Seating is limited and advance reservations are a must. The price for the evening’s entertainment is $35; to reserve or for more information, call (917) 622-0294 or visit http://studio-reynard.com or www.artful. ly/store/events/6948. The Old Glenford Church is located at 210 Old Route 28 in Glenford (a few miles from Woodstock).

LIBRARY OF CONGRESS | PRINTS & PHOTOGRAPHS DIVISION

“This Land is Your Land” turns 75 Hudson Valley Philharmonic pays tribute to an American anthem with works by David Amram and Dust Bowl projections this Saturday

L

eonard Bernstein chose David Amram as the New York Philharmonic’s first composerin-residence. “David,” he said, “your job is not only to please yourself.

You have to contribute something to the modern repertoire.” Amram, who already had a career as diverse as Bernstein’s, took the admonition seriously.

On Saturday, October 17, Hudson Valley audiences will get to enjoy some recent fruits of Bernstein’s advice: two Amram orchestral works based on folk music performed by the Hudson Valley Philharmonic (HVP).

Collaborating with the Poughkeepsie Library’s Poughkeepsie Read (which centers on John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath), the HVP will perform new compositions by Amram to commemorate the 75th anniversary of Woody Guthrie’s “This Land is Your Land,” along with projections of historic Dust Bowl images from the Library of Congress set to Barber’s Adagio for Strings and the Shostakovich Fifth Symphony.

Amram, who will be 85 next month, has performed an amazing variety of musical roles in his long and successful career. His early teachers were classical musicians. Wendell Margrave, a music critic for the Washington Star, loved Bach above all others. “He used to say, ‘Bach

is my man,’” Amram recalls. But along with the polyphony of Bach, Amram was also learning to love Bix Beiderbecke’s and other jazz recordings for the same qualities: the polyphony of several musicians improvising at once. He also learned from them the concept of “choice notes,” which had a double meaning: beautiful, perfect, appropriate, but also that you had a choice of what you felt was aesthetically pleasing, correct emotionally as well as logically.

Amram’s professional career began with jazz. He became a virtuoso player on the French horn, one of the first to use that instrument in jazz. Among the musicians he played with were Dizzy Gillespie, Lionel Hampton, Stan Getz, Gerry Mulligan, Charles Mingus and Sonny Rollins. “All the Baroque masters made their living as improvisors as well as composers,” says Amram. “By 1949, when Birth of the Cool [sessions led by Miles Davis] came out with all those gorgeous harmonies as well as the solos, it indicated that all the different music I heard that moved me had something to offer. I should learn the basics of Western music and then all the other musics I bumped into so I could see how they were constructed.”

Among those “other musics” were many styles of folk music from around the world – influences that Amram displayed

a year ago in a concert at the Maverick Hall in Woodstock. He was one of several musicians backing up Happy Traum, playing piano and Chinese traditional instruments. During his early days in New York, Amram had met Woody Guthrie and became a close friend of Pete Seeger, with whom he performed many times. These contacts served as inspiration when he was commissioned to write orchestral variations on Guthrie’s great anthem “ T his Land Is Your Land” by the Woody Guthrie Foundation.

Amram is pleased that Guthrie’s daughter will be attending this Saturday’s performance.

The other work of his on the HVP program, Theme and Variations on ‘Red River Valley,’ was commissioned in 1990 for the 20th anniversary of the Kerrville Music Festival in Texas. It was inspired by his encounter a few years earlier with Hondo Crouch, the mayor of a town of seven inhabitants in Texas. They did what Amram describes as a “rap/scat” version of the song together: qualities that he incorporated into the music.

Amram is no stranger to the Bardavon

or the Hudson Valley Philharmonic.

He conducted the orchestra’s children’s concerts there for two years in the early 1980s. He remembers with pleasure the beautiful theater and the excellent quality of the orchestra.

In his student days, Amram says, “I was liberated from the typical miseducation, when classical music was put into a special wing in the mental institution of the arts; when you had to belong to a certain school until it fell out of fashion. When I came up, Puccini was considered to be like a pop composer and Gershwin wasn’t even considered to be a composer.

You had to write 12-tone music or be an avant-gardist and set the piano on fire to get somewhere. It’s fine, but you could only belong to one of the camps, which were all at war. I wanted to participate in all the beautiful rich wisdom of the past thousands of years of all the other musics.

“Those early days in Washington when I played with all the great African American jazz musicians, they would say, ‘Tell your story.’ Everyone had a song and a story to tell. The job as a composer was to tell your story in music to other people, rather

October 15, 2015 than allowing yourself to be imprisoned by a penitentiary sentence that defined a composer’s role as being a useless victim in a society that was too dumb to appreciate classical music. I had to struggle my whole life to find the variety that young people can find today by going on YouTube. Being a real composer is a lifetime’s work, and if you pay attention, everything you do will come back to you and will be part of whatever you compose.”

Author Bradford Morrow, guitarist Alex Skolnick at Bard The influential postmodern novelist, editor and Bard professor Bradford Morrow teams for an unlikely cross-media performance with the chopsy guitarist Alex Skolnick, a founding member of the legendary thrash-metal band Testament who reinvented himself as a traditional cool jazz guitarist specializing in trio renditions of hard-rock songs. Morrow and Skolnick will collaborate on A Bestiary, a live performance of Morrow’s lyrical prose pieces about animals real and imaginary set to Skolnick’s original compositions in jazz, rock, country and world-music modes.

Author of eight novels, Morrow is also well-known as the co-founder (along with the great poet Kenneth Rexroth) and editor of the literary journal Conjunctions.

A former teacher at Princeton, Brown and Columbia, Morrow has been at Bard for over 20 years. Presented by Bard’s Program in Written Arts and Innovative Contemporary Fiction Reading Series, A Bestiary takes place on Tuesday, October 20 at 7:30 p.m. in the Weis Cinema in the Bertelsmann Campus Center. Introduced

by Michael Ives, Bard visiting assistant professor of Humanities, and followed by a question-and-answer session, the event is free and open to the public. For more information, call (845) 758-7054 or e-mail mmorriss@bard.edu.

Even so, he stands as a throwback figure, a reminder of the pre-confessional era of pop, when singers were not expected to pen their own hits and writers were salaried specialists. Still, to hear Webb perform his many familiar classics is to appreciate them as something more intimate and emotionally experimental than the canonical standards that they have become for other artists.

The nation’s largest Sheep & Wool Festival returns to the Dutchess Fairgrounds in Rhinebeck

E

ven in a region bursting at the seams with fall festivals, the annual New York State Sheep & Wool Festival is in a category all its own. Held at the Dutchess County Fairgrounds in Rhinebeck on the third full weekend in October every year, it’s the largest such event in the country.

And while anyone can attend in a casual “Let’s just wander around and see what’s going on” type of way, the strong suit of the “Sheep & Wool” is in the way that it brings together ardent fiber-arts enthusiasts – knitters, crocheters, spinners and weavers – with the fiber-producing animals that provide the makings of their craft.

The event is put on (rain or shine) by the Dutchess County Sheep & Wool Growers, who bring to the Fairgrounds a variety of their livestock, from sheep, goats and angora rabbits to alpacas and llamas.

In the same way that the farm-to-table movement provides a satisfying link for “foodies” to the sources of their gourmet delicacies, the Sheep & Wool Festival brings it all home for textile aficionados.

The 43rd annual New York State Sheep & Wool Festival will be held on Saturday, October 17 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, October 18 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Tickets cost $12 for the day, at the gate, and $17 for a weekend pass.

One of the Festival’s main attractions is the opportunity to purchase luscious yarns of exquisite tactile quality that one won’t find anywhere else in such profusion of selection. There is a bag check, by the way, to store purchases without having to walk all the way back out to the car.

(Some visitors to the Sheep & Wool Festival budget for the weekend and get their year’s worth of yarn all at once.)

It’s recommended that visitors bring a foldable, large, strong bag with handles to fill. And people are asked not to use strollers as shopping carts, as some have been wont to do in recent years; it just clogs up the aisles for everyone else.

There are a number of fiber-craft demonstrations going on and workshops held, although repeat visitors know to sign up months in advance, as the classes fill up fast and are often full by Festival day.

There are book-signings and lectures, competitions and shows. The perennial “Fleece to Shawl” competition on Sunday features teams of competitors who move as quickly as possible taking washed fleece through carding and spinning to weaving a completed shawl.

Non-fiber enthusiasts accompanying their friends will enjoy many of these activities and also find things unrelated to fiber to do. Where else will you see a llama parade (Sunday morning only), followed by a Leaping Llamas competition? There are numerous livestock competitions, sheepdog trials and demonstrations by Frisbee-catching dogs, as well as chefs offering cooking advice.

But at its heart, this is a show for diehard fiber devotees. Many come from out-of-

town and plan the trip months in advance; speak to any local hotelier or bed-andbreakfast owner and they’ll tell you that they’ve been booked for this weekend for many months. And the Festival becomes an opportunity for handcrafters to have those intense conversations about fiber and craft that the uninitiated are mystified by: discussions of how Cormo sheep produce the softest wool (such a pleasure to work with), and what do you do when that stitch is dropped and you’re already a few rows past it before you notice?

When the Festival closes for the day on Saturday, it’s hard for some to let go of it while waiting for the gates to open again on Sunday. Knitters and crocheters are a companionable bunch; maybe it has to do with the fact that our craft is so portable, and a conversation can still be carried on, even while executing rather difficult patterns. So local yarn shops and related venues have taken to offering “Rhinebeck weekend” activities around the Festival to slake everyone’s thirst for fiber talk fully.

A Soup & Wool Evening at Morton Library in Rhinecliff Fiber artist Carol Cypher will teach a workshop on making felted merino wool flowers, followed by a supper of homemade soups and desserts, on Saturday, October 17 at 5:30 p.m. Wine will be served. Tickets cost $35, which includes all supplies needed. Advance registration at (845) 876-2903 is requested due to limited seating, but tickets may be purchased at the door. All proceeds benefit the Morton Library.

The flowers produced in the workshop can be embellished with beading and used as accessories or home decor. Afterward, participants will enjoy three different tasty homemade soups made from fresh and local ingredients, including a veggie version, a chicken soup and a beef chili.

Library trustee Molly O’Gorman says that they’re hoping the event will serve to introduce some of the people coming to town for the Sheep & Wool Festival to the historic building in which the library is housed. “It’s an interesting place and a showpiece for the region,” she says. “We were just on the historic home tour. It’ll be fun to see how people react to our space.”

Mary Ebel’s Perfect Blend Yarn & Tea Shop at 50 Market Street in Saugerties is a classic local yarn shop with a warm and friendly proprietor who offers a range of special yarns and classes in an inviting space that also functions as a tea shop, with blends available to take home or sip while working on a project.

In business since 2011, Ebel says that every year when the Sheep & Wool Festival comes to town, she is inundated with new visitors to the shop who somehow find her as part of their weekend activities. So she keeps extended hours on that weekend; this year the shop will remain open on Friday and Saturday, October 16 and 17, until 9 p.m. Light refreshments will be served, and visitors can sit and knit and share stories about their adventures at the Festival. Lisa Bogart, author of Knit with Love: Stories to Warm a Knitter’s Heart, will be on hand Saturday night to sign books and share her stories and love of knitting.

Art in circulation Claire Lambe’s library portraits, Lynne Friedman’s landscapes now on view at Oriole 9 in Woodstock

Claire Lambe (photo by Dion Ogust)

Since the beginning of this year, Claire Lambe has embarked on an ambitious project: painting portraits in the Woodstock Library for anyone who signs up. Every Friday, she paints her subject in acrylic on a 12-by-12inch canvas in a single three-hour sitting. Conceived as a way of breaking out of the tradition of commissioning portraits and being able to choose subjects on a more random basis, Lambe’s library project, which just concluded last week, has produced 35 portraits.

In seeking to “democratize the portrait form,” Lambe said that the library has been the perfect location. “People who go there are from all walks of life,” she said. Initially she started each session from scratch with a blank canvas, but later on refined her method to sketch out the person’s likeness first from a photograph, so she could she devote

the entire time before the model to painting.

“The subjects had very little say in how the painting was going to be finished” – unlike the give and take of doing a commission. When she was done, she said, “Most people were pretty happy with their painting. I always say to them, do they recognize themselves? And nobody said ‘No.’” While Lambe said that she is considering continuing the project (more people have signed up than got portraits) in her studio, in the meantime she is showing a sampling of the portraits in Woodstock.

From October 14 through November 10, Oriole 9 restaurant will host an exhibition of Lambe’s library portraits, along with landscapes by Lynne Friedman. The exhibition is curated by Lenny Kislin, and an artists’ reception will be held on October 24 from 5 to 7 p.m.

A native of Ireland, Lambe graduated with a BFA from the National College of Art & Design in Dublin, and later earned an MFA from Brooklyn College. She has participated in numerous Hudson Valley exhibitions, including “Hudson Valley Artists 2012” at SUNY-New Paltz and “Peace & Justice” at the Muroff-Kotler Gallery at SUNY-Ulster. She got over any potential nervousness related to patrons and employees in the library coming over to watch her work years ago, when as an art student she would spend summers in Greece painting portraits on the street.

In August, Lambe also showed a portion of her library portraits in her hometown in Ireland. They were accompanied by portraits by Lambe of the local residents, based on photographs that she was e-mailed or received by mail. Any difference between painting Woodstockers and the Irish? “Irish people are more conservative-looking. A lot more of them wear glasses,” she said, acknowledging that because of the distance and her reliance on photographs for the Irish portraiture project, she was unable to meet and paint “street people and local characters.”

Lambe said that she thinks of the collective group of portraits as “one body of work” and would like to keep them together. “Eventually I may offer the paintings to the subjects, but I’d also like to donate them to the Historical Society…I don’t want them to end up in boxes.”

Lynne Friedman will be showing her large landscapes of the Shawangunks and local farm country as well as from New Mexico. Originally from Florida, Friedman moved to the area from New York City a decade ago, and first starting painting landscapes after visiting Colorado 20 years ago. She received her BA and MFA from Queens College, an EdD from Columbia University Teachers’ College and studied

at the New York Studio School.

Rather than literal transcriptions, her Fauvist paintings start with plein air sessions, but then evolve in the studio.

“I’m basically using the environment as a springboard for a visual idea,” she said. “I may pick up colors, shapes and a compositional idea outdoors. The work is transformed in the studio to something more intuitive and internal. It’s about what the landscape evokes in me.” She added that “you don’t work by inspiration, but by working” and discovering how “one idea relates to another.”

Friedman’s work was recently chosen by the US Department of State’s Art to Art in Embassies Program for the US Embassies in Djibouti, East Africa and Colombo, Sri Lanka. She has participated in exhibitions at the Booth Western Art Museum and the James McNeil Whistler Museum, and also shows at the Wired Gallery and at galleries in the city.

Performances related to “Hand/Made” exhibition in Woodstock

Arts, “Hand/Made: The Digital Age and the Industrial Revolution,” 17 contemporary artists were invited to submit works utilizing digital media tools to achieve visually “handmade” results.

In conjunction with the show, the Guild is presenting two live performances this weekend using both the gallery space and the streets of Woodstock. On Saturday, October 17 beginning at 12 noon, A Roaming Performance will explore the production of knowledge through nondigital poetic investigations. It will feature the results of “mined” interviews

by Katie Fowley and Katie Taylor; stacked word sculptures by Suzanne Goldenberg; game-based body movement exercises

by Emily Harris; and light-sensitive pigment drawings by Kate Parry. All of these outdoor performance art pieces will involve interaction with the public.

On Sunday, October 18 from 12 noon on, Maria Hupfield will give a durational live performance in the Kleinert gallery titled In the Making, using a sequence of actions and sustained poses intended to “transfer and exhaust the power of her handmade silver Lady Moonrider suit, one of the objects in the exhibition…

This performance aims to retire the suit and marks her last time wearing it before it is laid to rest.” In the Making will be documented with a time-lapse camera.

Both performances are free and open to the public. The Kleinert/James Center for the Arts is located at 36 Tinker Street in Woodstock. For more information, visit www.woodstockguild.org/exhibitions.

IF I ONLY HAD SOME BRAAAAIIIINS Downtown Saugerties hosts Wizard of Oz-themed Zombie Crawl 2015 this Saturday

T

his Saturday, October 17, the Saugerties Zombie Crawl comes back from the grave (yet again) to plague downtown streets and businesses with the festive presence of ambulatory rotting corpses. Past Crawls have featured blood-spattered brides and grooms, dead clowns, dead princesses, dead biker babes and rednecks all whooping it up together. But this year, Munchkins, lions, scarecrows, tin men and pigtailed Kansans should also be encountered in abundance, in keeping with the theme of “We’re off to see the Zombies.”

The action in Undead SaugertOz will begin at 6 p.m. (though everyone there is arguably “late”) and run at least until 10, rain or moonshine. Live music will be provided

by Big Money and the Americana Oak Band, plus a deejay will spin platters that encourage monsters to mash. Downtown eateries and watering holes will be offering themed specials, and makeup artists specializing in gory special effects will be available to enhance your state of personal putrefaction for a fee. There will of course be a costume contest, awarding prizes of $250 for Best Group or Best Couple, $75 for Best Kid and $250 for Best Costume.

Here, even revenants must play by certain rules of behavior, so all children under age 12 must be accompanied by an adult, and attendees are asked not to carry glass bottles on the streets or weapons of any kind. Admission is via wristband (no substitute for a photo ID as proof of age if you want to purchase alcohol), available at the Main Street Restaurant and costing $5 (cash only; the dead have very low credit scores).

The Zombie Crawl is a fundraising event for Family of Woodstock’s Suicide Prevention Hotline and the Ulster County Patriots Project for transitional veterans’ housing, so donations at higher levels are cheerfully encouraged.

James Hamilton’s Scene on the Hudson Rip Van Winkle

STAGE

Ichabod, meet Rip Rosendale Theatre stages Tales of the Hudson Valley this Saturday

T

he not-for-profit Rosendale Theatre isn’t just a lovingly refurbished old-fashioned cinema palace anymore.

This past summer, its wonky, not-nearly-level Depression Era stage was entirely rebuilt to accommodate plans to host live theatrical productions on a regular basis. Sometimes these will have specific ties to the town’s increasingly higher profile as a tourist destination, now that the reopening of the restored Rondout Trestle has linked the northern and southern sections of the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail.

This month, with sponsorship from Westwood Metes and Bounds Realty, the Rosendale Theatre is staging three performances of Tales of the Hudson Valley, an adaptation of Washington Irving’s Rip van Winkle and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by playwright Edward Versailles. Two of the shows were fully booked by heritage tourism package tour operators; the third, taking place this Saturday, October 17 at 11 a.m., is the only performance open to the general public.

Tales of the Hudson Valley runs approximately one hour in length and features local actors Frank Marquette, Sheila Dvorak and Matthew Santiago playing a total of 22 different characters, with live music and sound effects by Fre Atlast. Ann Citron directs.

Tickets for Tales of the Hudson Valley cost $10 general admission, $9 for Rosendale Theatre Collective members and $5 for children age 12 and under, with a special $20 package price for families of four. The Rosendale Theatre is located at 408 Main Street in Rosendale. For more information, call (845) 658-8989, e-mail info@rosendaletheatre.org or visit www. rosendaletheatre.org.

Help Stop Breast Cancer Before It Starts!

16 Steps To A Healthier Life For You And Your Family A growing body of evidence shows that healthy lifestyle factors like a good diet and regular exercise provide signiďŹ cant beneďŹ ts, possibly offering protection against cancer recurrences about on a par with chemotherapy and the newer hormonal and drug treatments. If you combine these risk-reducing habits and also limit your exposure to toxins you will beneďŹ t even more.

1. Exercise! Breast cancer patients will be 50 percent less likely to die from the disease than sedentary women if they exercise on a regular basis. Women undergoing treatments for breast cancer beneďŹ t from moderate intensity, regular aerobic activity.

2. Control your weight. Weight is a bit confusing. If you are overweight before menopause, your risk of breast cancer is lower than average. If you are overweight after menopause, your risk of breast cancer is higher than average.

3. Spend eight hours a night in darkness to encourage normal melatonin levels. The hormone Melatonin is released at night and has cancer-ďŹ ghting properties. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the reason you get sleepy when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dark and research indicates that melatonin also puts cancer cells to sleep. Make sure you get regular exposure to bright light during the daytime.

4. Eat an organically grown diet whenever possible. Your diet should contain fruits and vegetables, complex carbohydrates, organic protein and healthy-fats. Breast cancer has been linked to some pesticides used on non-organic fruits and vegetables and estrogen-like hormones used in raising livestock.

5. Avoid fried, char-broiled, or barbecued as forms of cooking.

The Char contains PAHs polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons that cause mammary tumors in animals. Canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give it up? Take an aspirin with your char-broiled meal, as studies suggest that aspirin may negate the potentially harmful effects of ďŹ&#x201A;amebroiled foods.

6. Avoid bleached products, i.e. coffee ďŹ lters, paper, napkins, toilet tissue, tampons and sanitary napkins. Using bleached coffee ďŹ lters alone can result in a lifetime exposure to dioxin that exceeds acceptable risks. The FDA detected dioxins and dozens of other substances in conventional tampons.

7. Avoid using chlorine bleach for household cleaning or laundry.

The chlorine in your dish-washing detergent mixes with steam to create a gas. When the dishwasher is opened, this toxic gas is released. Hydrogen peroxide bleaches are a safe alternative; they break down into water and oxygen.

8. Drink ďŹ ltered or bottled water, not city water that contains chlorine and ďŹ&#x201A;uoride. A simple water ďŹ lter can now serve as a valuable safeguard against toxic substances and cancer.

9. Do not use pesticides or herbicides on your lawn or garden.

They mimic estrogen, a known breast cancer risk factor. A cup of salt in a gallon of vinegar will kill weeds.

10. Reduce or eliminate purchase of plastic products. Some plastics leach hormone-disrupting chemicals into whatever they come in contact with. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastics are dangerous and used in toys that children put in their mouths, so keep an eye out for nontoxic toys.

11. Use personal care products without chemicals like parabens or phthalates. They disrupt normal hormone function and are found in many personal care products.

12. Avoid alcohol. Regular, moderate use of alcohol affects the levels of important female hormones. Two to ďŹ ve drinks per day may be associated with a 40% higher rate of breast cancer than in non-drinkers. Women who choose to drink can lower their risk of developing breast cancer by taking 400 mcg. of folic acid or eat a folate rich diet.

13. Use wet cleaning rather than dry cleaning which contains PERC (perchloroethylene). If you must use traditional dry cleaning, open the plastic bags on your clothing and air them out before putting them in a closet or on your body.

14. Avoid PBDE s (polybrominated diphenyl ethers) found in electronic equipment and furniture. They are endocrine disruptors linked to reproductive damage, affect thyroid hormones and may cause cancer. They are ďŹ&#x201A;ame retardants often added to polyurethane foam, various plastics, and electronics equipment. Choose carpet pads, bedding, cushions, and upholstered furniture made from natural ďŹ bers including wool, cotton, and hemp.

15. Learn how to handle stress. Levels of the stress hormone cortisol rise with increased stress. High cortisol levels suppress immune response by reducing natural killer cell activity. These cells are important in surveillance against malignant cells and for destroying viruses and tumor cells.

16. Learn to read labels; become an informed consumer.

Book-signing with Alice Waters this Sunday in Rhinebeck

Alice Waters (photo by Gilles Mingasson, courtesy of the author)

Alice Waters is known as “the mother of the modern food movement” for

her insistence on using locally and organically grown foods in her restaurant kitchen at Chez Panisse in Berkeley, California, which she founded in 1971. Indeed, doing so spawned the commercial success of many smallvolume vegetable growers in her region, and it inspired countless other professional chefs to follow suit.

Asked if she ever imagined the scope of her future work, she says, “I never imagined it in a million years. I was really just opening a restaurant for my friends. I never imagined it would be more than a neighborhood restaurant. The country was in the throes of a fast-food culture. What we were doing at Chez Panisse was just so different. People who had gone to Europe understood it was a little French res-

taurant, very different than what was happening at that time. I thought it was simply the way things had to be done.”

Waters also initiated efforts to have local school lunches made with wholesome ingredients, and out of these came the Edible Schoolyard Program, wherein middle school students are involved in growing, harvesting and preparing foods from an onsite garden. At the Martin Luther King, Jr. Middle School in Berkeley, the garden and kitchen are used as laboratories for teaching all the academic subjects: the sciences; English class, when they’re writing the recipes or thinking about the food; and even having a conversation with the Spanish class and cooking the food of Spain. “We weave academics into the garden and the kitchen. I think the program needs to be in every school on the planet, so that young people gain the basic knowledge we all need to take care of the land and each other. It’s the most important thing,” she says.

Waters has authored numerous comprehensive natural food cookbooks, the latest of which is My Pantry: Homemade Ingredients that Make Simple Meals Special, offering a look at the basic food items that she considers fundamental to a well-stocked kitchen. In the book she talks about preparing flavored salts,

October 15, 2015 grinding dried chili peppers and whole spices, making tahini and almond milk from scratch, pickling and confitting and compoting fruits and vegetables, making vinegars and cheese and generally maintaining a stock of favorite beans, grains, preserved fish and meats, along with the curiosity to experiment with new tastes and whole foods.

When asked how busy people can take the time to establish such a pantry and cook their own meals, Waters says, “Once you have the basic techniques learned, it takes no time, really. And if you have real food on hand – which means you need to go to the market and also have something in your pantry – with those you can make a meal quickly for many people. If I have olive oil and vinegar, some salad, a piece of fish – I can really make something. If I don’t have those things in my pantry, I’m really lost. Can’t think of what to cook.”

Waters stresses simplicity, economy and ease in the kitchen, calling her own preferences gleaned from exposure to other ethnicities “grace notes.” She comments on the feasibility of reducing waste and carbon expense in preparing foods from scratch. She compares the act of making yoghurt in reusable glass jars, for example, to driving to a store to buy it in a plastic container that was made elsewhere and was delivered by truck from somewhere else. Her admonitions don’t hit you over the head with guilt; rather, they suggest the pleasure of being involved with doing it by hand in your own kitchen.

The iconic winner of multiple awards and accolades (we’re talking honors from best-chef and halls-of-fame appointments by various culinary and academic entities to last year’s National Humanities Medal for her work as a champion of a holistic approach to eating and health, awarded by the National Endowment for the Humanities), Waters continues to promote the cause of conscientiously produced, carefully prepared foods. She has said that when you eat fast food, you not only consume what is unhealthy for you, but you also digest the values that come with the food: fast, cheap, easy.

“Something that’s really important now is just sitting at the table. I can’t say enough about the way we eat. What we eat is terribly important, but the way we eat is: taking care of each other. We need to have that conversation at the table, by bringing our children, our families and friends, to sit down without our cell phones and have a meal together, no matter how simple.”

Fans of Waters will be able to meet the author in person at bluecashew Kitchen Pharmacy in Rhinebeck this Sunday, where she will sign books and talk food. Later that evening, Waters will guest host a special dinner with the Farm On! Foundation to benefit Edible Schoolyard, an event to be held at 5 p.m. on Empire Farm in Copake, with a menu executed by chef Jonathan Wright of the Rainbow Room in New York City.

Cheers with eggs The Last Bite in High Falls

F

aded silk flowers on the porch tables, a box requesting donations for the food bank, posters of events plastered on the windows, artwork and shark jaws displayed around the room, dinosaurs and odd toys here and there, a bumper sticker on the cash register that says, “Support Your Local Skateboarder” and the funky old glass door that finally closes on its own: These should all sound familiar to anyone who has had the pleasure of coming to the Last Bite for what I believe is the best cup of coffee in High Falls. Here, breakfast and lunch are served up in the casual atmosphere where weekenders crowd in with the locals.

“What makes the Bite really awesome is the diverse clientele,” says owner Scott Albright. “Sometimes I look out from behind the counter and see the contractor sitting next to the actor sitting next to the movie special effects guy and the hunter and the artist. Everybody mingles together and ‘conversates.’ To me that’s the Bite.”

The place is unpretentious, which must be a comfort to glitz-worn celebrities.

Movie stars who have made second homes in the region might expect nothing more than a nod, if that, from other customers.

Indeed, High Falls seems the perfect place for world-renowned artists to hole up and work; think Marc Chagall.

Albright says that the décor, if you can call it that, evolved from the former owner’s Goth theme, and he kept some of the vampire elements to pay tribute to what the Bite once was. So, a skull and a few statues share space with an old cuckoo clock hanging from a center post. The menu is graffitied in chalk above the espresso machine and juicer; no two tables are alike, the chairs are all mismatched and a concrete counter lining one picture window seems like nothing more than a nice afterthought. The barn wood paneling on the walls comes from an old structure in Kerhonkson that the one-time contractor dismantled. “It made the renovation affordable, and it fit the 1800s building,” he says.

Albright grew up in Stone Ridge and has lived here all his life. “I stumbled into the Bite as a customer. It was smaller at the time, and they only did egg sandwiches in the morning and soups and sandwiches for lunch. The previous owner was getting burned out with the business after three years and was looking for a change. I was a stonemason and contractor for about ten years, and I was extremely burned out and tired. I made an offer to buy her business. She was emotionally invested in the place, so we became partners at first.

As a contractor, I was able to do a full renovation; it used to seat only about ten people.”

Now on busy mornings, he and his staff might serve ten people or more every few minutes, taking orders by phone and speedily producing delicious wraps and sandwiches for walk-ins. But if you sit, you can dawdle over a cup of coffee and read the newspaper or catch up on the local gossip. The rush of customers might swirl around you, but there’s always the view of trees across the road to enjoy.

Meanwhile, delivery trucks arrive daily.

With only 600 square feet of floor space, storage is a challenge.

Albright has recently announced a change in the menu. With winter coming on, they will be eliminating some of the sandwiches and start making hot rice

Front porch of The Last Bite in High Falls

bowls. “I hired a new chef to come in and teach us, and we’ll be using organic rice. Our business goes through phases: It slows down in the winter, so this new menu will be good for the season.”

He talks about being wedded to his business. “Now I’m here seven days a week, 12-hour days. It’s demanding, but I’m single. As for the staff, it’s not a career for people, but I’m proud of the fact that we keep staff on for two to four years. I still have a staff member who worked for the old management, going on six years now. My manager, who just moved on, was here even longer than I have been.”

“We’re contemplating closing one day a week; we’ve been a seven-day-a-week establishment forever. I’m leaning in that direction, but picking what day to close will be difficult. What keeps us in business is the fact that we have regulars; we have a strong community base. In the past, we’ve had poetry nights and music, but there are tenants who live here as well.” The building is old, he explains, and holding events at night was like “being right in their living room.”

Anyway, he likes the idea of serving breakfast and lunch and closing at 3. “You get up in the morning and it’s really early, and you think, ‘Oh, god – another day.’ But once I get outside, step out of my door – you feel like you’re ahead of everybody when it’s dark and there’s nobody else out.

You have your day started.”

After running the Bite for half a decade, he says that there is no rhyme or reason for anything in food trends. “One day we’ll sell a hundred omelets, and the next day nobody will order an omelet. What I have learned is: Don’t try to figure it out. Just be prepared.”

An avid rock-climber/skateboarder/ surfer, the 35-year-old exudes a hyperenergetic vibe and admits to being an adrenaline junky. “In the winter I live in Puerto Rico. I work basically long hours here in summer and fall, then I take off for five months. Last winter I rented a food truck called Jack’s Shack and ran the Last Bite out of it. In Puerto Rico nobody does breakfast, so I saw a need. I used their food truck in the morning, and at lunch they’d come and take over. I’m looking to do my own thing, so that’s in the works.”

He loves the island and the culture. “It’s three hours away on a plane; everybody speaks English; it’s beautiful; the people are super-friendly. It’s a different lifestyle.”

The change of pace took him a while to adjust to, as the laid-back atmosphere is not your typical New York pace. Now he gets it, and imagines that he’ll retire there someday.

In the meantime, dedication to making what he calls “a proper egg sandwich” and pleasing his clientele is occupation enough. “I’m really proud of the community aspect of the business,” he says. “It’s like Cheers without beer. Cheers with eggs.”

Wild morning display continues …and it includes the year’s best look at Mercury

I

t all happens at 6:30 a.m. Even if you’re up then, will you really go outdoors, or maybe even drive to a place with an unobstructed view towards the sunrise? If you do, you’ll be rewarded: Four planets continue to perform the year’s best conjunctions. The whole thing is bright and easy.

This weekend, for example – Saturday morning, October 17, and Sunday the 18th – the two brightest “stars” hover together.

The top and brightest is Venus. The one below is Jupiter. Now look more closely and you’ll see a faint orange star next to Jupiter. That’s Mars. Easy.

All next week, those worlds will keep hanging together, while Jupiter gets higher each morning until it practically touches Venus next weekend. So, really, you can look eastward at 6:30 a.m. any clear morning, whenever you’ve had enough coffee.

Now for the icing on the cake: The three planets just mentioned are not super-low.

But if you have, or can get to, a clear shot all the way down – if you live on a farm or a ridge or anywhere where autumn sunrises are visible – you’ll observe a fourth planet. This one’s bright, too, and far beneath the others. This is Mercury, having its best appearance of 2015.

That innermost planet is odd in so many ways that it’s hard to find aspects that aren’t strange. The way it moves, the way it looks and its features all create a carnival of curiosities. Actual radar pulses we bounced off Mercury in the 1960s showed that it has achieved a strange stability with the Sun. It spins once every 59 days, which means that three rotations – three Mercury days – happen in the same exact interval as two of its years. This 3:2 resonance causes Mercury’s sunrises to happen 176 days apart. It’s the longest interval between sunrises of any object in the known universe.

Then, too, Mercury has the most lopsided, out-of-round orbit. So on its surface, the Sun’s intensity varies from six to 14 times ours. When it’s closest to the Sun you want to be sure to use SPF two billion sunblock instead of your usual one billion.

The eccentric orbit also makes that crater-covered planet speed up and slow down more than any other – a variation that would sometimes make a sunrise on Mercury stop in its tracks and reverse itself. The Sun comes up, goes back down, then rises a second time.

Mercury alters its brightness more than any other planet, too, varying by an astonishing 250-fold. It’s best to look for it when it’s on the bright part of its orbit – which is now.

As if jealously to resent Venus’ greater dazzle, Mercury may smash it to pieces.

Thanks to gravitational tugs from the Sun and especially Jupiter, the Mercury orbit wildly changes shape. It goes from being a perfect circle to having a squashed eccentricity so great that it may actually reach innocent Venus, the planet whose orbit is closest to being a perfect circle.

Such a collision may happen in the next five billion years, and could destroy both planets.

As Mercury spins, it displays not the least axial tilt. Earth, Mars and Saturn are all tilted 20-something degrees, but Mercury alone rotates straight up and down – not even one-tenth of a degree offset from vertical. This means that at its poles, half the solar disk is always below the horizon. Standing within the slightest polar depression or crater at Mercury’s poles, you’d never see the Sun at all.

Result: permanent dark places. They’re filled with ice. They offer winter sports on a world badly needing it.

So the next ten days provide the year’s best chance to see that planet with just the naked eye: lowish in the east at 6:30. And as a bonus, you get another three worlds thrown in, for free.

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

Pick a peck of pickled ginger A greenhouse keeps varied crops coming year-round

H

aving a greenhouse is a much-appreciated luxury. To avoid being profligate, I eke all that I can from its every square inch in every season.

For starters, it’s a cool greenhouse – temperaturewise “cool,” not “Ain’t this a cool greenhouse?” cool. Winter temperatures are permitted inside to drop to 35 degrees Fahrenheit before the propane heater kicks on. And in summer, roll-up sidewalls let in plenty of cooler, outside air to save energy (and noise) in running the cooling fan. Demands on the cooling fan are also minimized by letting summer temperatures reach almost 100 degrees before the fan awakens.

I have to choose my plants carefully for them to tolerate such conditions. Right now, lettuce, arugula, mâche, celery, parsley, kale and Swiss chard seedlings and small transplants trace green lines up and down ground beds in the greenhouse.

I sowed seed of most of these cold-loving vegetables about a month ago. They’re too small to harvest now. No matter: The outdoor vegetable garden is still replete with greenery available for harvest through November, and probably on into December. By then, greenhouse greenery will have grown to harvest size, then

continue to do so very slowly through the dark, cold days.

And the 100-degree summers in the greenhouse? Above the beds spread the branches of three large fig trees, planted right into the ground (rather than pots).

From those branches dangle ripe and ripening figs, as they have since July.

Figs originated in the searing heat of summers in Western Asia; they can take the 100-degree heat of my greenhouse.

Soon, cooler temperatures and lowering sun will drive the trees to stop ripening fruits, lose their leaves and enter dormancy. (Figs are subtropical rather than tropical trees, so enjoy a cool – but not frigid – winter rest.) The few, leafless branches, most of them pruned back, will cast little shade, to let the cool weather greenery in the ground beds below bask in what little sunlight fall and winter have to offer.

Starting in February, my greenhouse does triple-duty, becoming also a home for transplants for the upcoming season’s vegetable and flower gardens. I plant the first seeds – onions, lettuce, celery and leek – in early February, sowing them in seedflats on the narrow bench along the greenhouse’s north wall.

Harvesting ginger

LEE REICH | ALMANAC WEEKLY

in the greenhouse, fig growth begins anew and winter’s cool-weather vegetables wane and are cleared away.

How about putting the ground beds beneath the awakening fig trees to some good use? In the past, I’ve tried growing melons and cucumbers – all of which originated in hot regions of Africa and Asia – in those beds. Neither the melons nor the cucumbers did particularly well… yet.

That brings us to this week’s ginger harvest. Greenhouse beds this summer provide a warm, moist home in which to grow ginger: a plant indigenous to the hot, muggy climate of south China. Ginger would be hardly worth growing if all I wanted was the khaki-skinned rhizomes that I could pick off a supermarket shelf. Those tough-hided roots are mature ginger, which has a fibrous flesh.

What I was shooting for was baby ginger, whose pink-tinged white skin encloses flesh that is tender, lily-white and free of fiber. The flavor is a little different from mature ginger: cleaner. This tropical plant I figured could (and it did) thrive in my hot greenhouse all summer.

To get started, way back in March, I purchased a single root of mature ginger at the supermarket, broke it into four sections and potted each section into a four-inch pot. As I said, the plant needs

heat, so I set the pots on my seed-starting mat to maintain a temperature of about 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Still, it took a while for green sprouts to show.

The potted ginger plants were ready to plant out in a greenhouse bed just as the last of winter’s vegetables were being cleared away there. After planting, I refurbished the soil with a mulch of compost. Cool soil got the plants off to a slow start but once summer heat kicked in outdoors, and then really kicked in within the greenhouse, the ginger throve.

The goal was to let ginger linger to eke maximum yield, but not so long that the rhizome would begin to mature. I also needed space for this winter’s plantings. As it turns out, the first objective, maximum yield, was moot: Yields were prodigious, four plants yielding much more than we could possibly eat.

The first order of business with the harvested baby ginger was to pickle it. All that was needed was to slice it thinly with a carrot peeler, then pour boiling vinegar sweetened with a bit of maple syrup over it.

fiscal year 2014 of which $1,734,637 is vehicle energy costs.

Ulster County recognizes that its agencies and/or departments have a significant role to play in improving local air quality and reducing greenhouse gas emissions by improving the energy efficiency of its Fleet and reducing emissions from fleet operations.

Ulster County recognizes that improving the energy efficiency of its fleet can lead to significant long-term monetary savings.

Ulster County wishes to exercise its power as a participant in the marketplace to ensure that purchases and expenditures of public monies are made in a manner consistent with the policy of improving local air quality and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Ulster County wishes to establish a “Green Fleet” policy addressing the vehicles of the fleet under the control of the County in order to improve vehicle fuel efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

A Green Fleet Policy involves a number of different steps to reduce emissions, decrease costs, and increase efficiency. These steps include: a. the downsizing of vehicles b. the optimization of vehicle use c. incorporate efficiency into bid specifications d. maximize vehicle efficiency through maintenance and operation e. the elimination of vehicles f. where possible encourage the use of transit systems, bike riding, walking, & telecommuting Ulster County is committed to using electric, hybrid-electric, hybrid and sustainable green vehicles across the fleet. Any initiative to introduce alternative fuel technologies will consider the sustainability of the fuel including lifecycle energy and emissions, as well as the renewability of the fuel source.

Additionally Ulster County seeks to move toward zero emission vehicles by promoting the use of electric, hybrid-electric, hybrid, and sustainable green vehicles by residents and will do so by: 1. Giving priority to purchasing hybrid, hybrid-electric, and sustainable green vehicles; and 2. Installing electric vehicle charging stations at County-owned facilities.

3. Supporting initiatives and research which will lead to the further deployment of electric, hybrid-electric, hybrid, and sustainable green vehicles across the community.

SECTION 2. DEFINITIONS. 1. “Green Vehicle” refers to any vehicle that employs technology that reduces fuel consumption or emissions and shall include, but is not limited to, vehicles that have electric drive trains (EVs), hybrid-electric, and hybrid vehicles that use both a rechargeable energy storage system and combustible fuel (HVs).

2. “Passenger Vehicle” means any motor vehicle designed primarily for the transportation of persons and having a design capacity of twelve persons or less.

3. “Light Duty Truck” means any motor vehicle, with a manufacturer’s gross vehicle weight rating of 6,000 pounds or less, which is designed primarily for purposes of transportation of property or is a derivative of such a vehicle, or is available with special features enabling off-street or off-highway operation and use.

4. “Medium Duty Vehicle” means any vehicle having a manufacturer’s gross vehicle weight rating of 14,000 pounds or less and which is not a light-duty truck or passenger vehicle.

5. “Heavy Duty Vehicle” means any motor vehicle, licensed for use on roadways, having a manufacturer’s gross vehicle weight rating greater than 14,000 pounds.

SECTION 3. FLEET INVENTORY. 1. In order to establish a baseline of data so that the “Green Fleet” policy can be established, implemented, and monitored, the Fleet Manager, in consultation with the Coordinator of the Department of Environment, shall develop an inventory and assessment of the fleet vehicles within each department or agency. This inventory shall include: a. Number of vehicles classified by the model year, make, model, engine size, vehicle identification number (VIN), drivetrain type (2-wheel drive or 4-wheel drive), and the rated vehicle weight and classification (light-duty, mediumduty, heavy-duty); b. Miles per gallon (or gallon equivalent) per vehicle; c. Type of fuel (or power source, e.g., electricity) used; d. Average cost per gallon (or gallon equivalent) of fuel; e. Average fuel cost per mile; f. Annual miles driven per vehicle; g. Total fuel (or power) consumption per vehicle; h. Vehicle function (i.e., the tasks associated with the vehicle’s use); i. Estimated emissions per mile for each pollutant by vehicle type/class based on EPA tailpipe standards for the following: Carbon Monoxide (CO), Nitrogen Oxides (NOx), and Particulate Matter (PM). j. Carbon Dioxide (CO2) calculations based on gallons (or gallon equivalent) of fuel consumed.

2. Once the Fleet Inventory from each department is submitted, an assessment on vehicular use will be performed by the Fleet Manager, in consultation with the Coordinator of the Department of Environment. The assessment will examine; a. vehicle needs; b. the use of the smallest, most efficient vehicle to carry out necessary tasks; and c. replacing existing vehicles with Green vehicles that will accomplish substantially the same tasks.

SECTION 4. THE ULSTER COUNTY GREEN FLEET POLICY. It is the policy of Ulster County: 1. to purchase, lease, or otherwise obtain the most energy efficient and cost effective vehicles possible that meet the operational needs of the County.

2. to purchase vehicles that are appropriately sized for the purposes to which they are intended.

3. to manage and operate its fleet in a manner that is energy efficient and minimizes emissions.

4. that all County employees in Ulster County owned vehicles at any time, or in personal vehicles while on County property during work shifts, shall not allow a vehicle to be left to idle for any period of time greater than five minutes. This policy shall not apply during times of emergency response or for vehicles which require longer idling periods for equipment operations needs.

SECTION 5. GREEN FLEET POLICY STRATEGIES. In order to accomplish the goals stated in Section 4 above, the following policies shall be implemented: 1. Include a minimum efficiency standard in miles per gallon (or gallon equivalent) for each vehicle class for which the County has a procurement specification for and include such a standard in any new vehicle procurement specification.

2. Include a minimum emissions standard for each vehicle class for which the County has a procurement specification for and include such a standard in any new vehicle procurement

specifications.

3. Ensure a minimum of 5% of the fleet by 2020 are Green vehicles. Thereafter, annually, a minimum of 20% of passenger vehicles purchased, leased or otherwise obtained will be Green and Green vehicles that qualify in another vehicle weight class may, for the purposes of this requirement, qualify as a passenger vehicle on a one vehicle for one vehicle basis.

4. Review all vehicle procurement specifications and modify them as necessary to ensure that the specifications are written in a manner flexible enough to allow the purchase or lease of green vehicles.

5. Review every new vehicle purchase request and modify them as necessary to ensure that the vehicle class to which the requesting vehicle belongs is appropriate for the duty requirements that the vehicle will be called upon to perform.

6. Review the fleet inventory taken in Section 3 above to identify older vehicles that are used infrequently (or not at all), as well as those vehicles that are disproportionately inefficient, and schedule their elimination or replacement.

7. Implement a program that will train County employees to drive efficiently and utilize efficient operating techniques such as route optimization.

8. Reduce motor vehicle use by the utilization of fleet-management software, optimizing vehicle use, the selection of the right vehicle for the employees’ tasks, and encourage transit use, bicycle riding, walking, and ride sharing and telecommuting where feasible.

9. Maximize efficiency of the vehicles by having them regularly maintained and checking tire pressure and keeping them aerodynamic (putting racks, ladders and tools on vehicle roofs only when necessary).

10. Procure and utilize Green vehicles when their use is appropriate to the application and a life-cycle cost analysis demonstrates the procurement and utilization of the vehicle to be economically feasible.

11. Purchase the right size vehicle for the job.

12. Keep apprised of the technological advances and product innovations for fleet vehicles such as, but is not limited to, the use of low rolling resistance tires and using nitrogen to inflate tires.

SECTION 6. MONITORING OF THE GREEN FLEET POLICY. In order to determine whether the goals outlined in Section 4 above and the actions outlined in Section 5 above, have been reached, and/or whether or not they should be modified or amended, annually, on or before March 1st of each year, a report, prepared by the Coordinator of the Ulster County Department of the Environment, in conjunction with the Ulster County Fleet Manager and any other department of the County that the Coordinator of the Department of Environment may deem necessary, shall be filed with the County Executive and the Ulster County Legislative Standing Committee assigned with the Department of the Environment and any other Committee as determined by the Clerk of the Legislature.

The annual report shall include, but not be limited to: a. Information addressing the criteria of Sections 1, 3 and 5 above; b. Documentation of the fuel use and emissions associated with the ulster county fleet; c. An assessment of whether or not the goals set forth in the policy have been attainable; and if not, the reasons relevant; d. Recommendations regarding actions to be taken in order to meet the goals set forth in the Policy; and e. Recommendations as to specific changes or modifications to the Policy that would promote

DATED: October 15, 2015 - Kingston, New York Victoria A. Fabella, Clerk - Ulster County Legislature Local Law No. 9 Of 2015 County Of Ulster A Local Law Establishing A Sustainable Green Fleet Policy BE IT ENACTED, by the Legislature of the County of Ulster, as follows: SECTION 1. LEGISLATIVE INTENT AND PURPOSE. The Ulster County Legislature finds that government must be innovative, efficient, and cost effective.

Ulster County recognizes that energy use associated with the operation of its motor vehicle fleets exacerbates local air quality problems and results in greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global climate change. While the operation and maintenance of the County vehicle fleet is essential to the ability to provide a wide range of services to the public, the fleet represents a significant environmental and financial cost to Ulster County.

In 2012, the County’s baseline year for its Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Inventory, the fleet consumed 201,000 gallons of gasoline and over 306,000 gallons of diesel fuel and was responsible for the emission of approximately 4,899 metric tons of CO2 equivalent or approximately 35% of the County’s total GHG emissions.

Energy costs represent a significant amount of spending for Ulster County government and Ulster County desires to continue in its leadership role in environmental stewardship. The County’s energy costs totaled $4,178,670 in

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
