Psychologist Mark Sherman talks about “boy crisis” in America Mark Sherman, PhD, professor emeritus of Psychology at SUNY-New Paltz, comes from a long line of men

where the Y chromosome is dominant, reproductively speaking. He has three sons, four grandsons and no female progeny. That, he admits, is part of the reason why he’s so alarmed about the state of boys and young men in modern society. On average, boys are doing much worse in school than girls

115 Main Street

and are significantly less likely to get a college education. They are more likely to be crime victims, have higher rates of incarceration, suicide, learning disabilities and neurological disorders like ADHD. Sherman doesn’t deny that women still get the short end of the stick when it comes to things like becoming CEOs of major corporations, but in his belief, “Our sons and grandsons need our attention.” That’s the theme of a blog that he maintains at https://theboysinitiative. wordpress.com, as well as the title of a talk that he’ll be giving next Thursday on how America’s boys and young men have fallen behind and how we can help to improve things. Among other measures, he’s an advocate for the creation of a White House Council on Boys and Men to study the “boy crisis” and recommend solutions.

Dr. Sherman’s talk will be presented on Thursday, November 5 at the New Paltz Jewish Community Center, located at 30 North Chestnut Street. Admission is free for congregation members and costs $5 for non-members. For further details, call (845) 255-9817.

Ruth Reichl & Margaret Gray to discuss food justice at CIA There’s a lot more to fighting world hunger than airlifting tons of surplus food to refugee camps, digging village wells in arid countries or developing more productive hybrid crops. Hunger can hit close to home, invisibly to most of us; but awareness of urban “food deserts” has been on the rise in recent years, fueled by a confluence of interest among community activists and advocates of sustainable farming practices, natural and organic foods and locavorism.

Like the concept of “environmental justice” before it, “food justice” describes an approach to the more complicated problems that arise when poverty intersects with limited food choice, poor nutrition and/or dangerous working conditions in the farming and food processing industries. It takes one’s consciousness about healthy eating to a new level in which the compromised well-being of inner-city dwellers, migrant farmworkers and other people near the bottom of the economic scale becomes a more compelling concern than which brand to buy at the health food store.

Two prominent writers will engage in a public conversation on the subject next Monday evening at the Culinary Institute of America’s Marriott Pavilion Ecolab Auditorium. At 7 p.m. on November 2, the Poughkeepsie Public Library District/ Poughkeepsie Read, Rural & Migrant Ministry and the Culinary Institute will present a collaborative program titled “In the Borderlands of Food Justice: A Conversation with Ruth Reichl and Margaret Gray.”

CHECK IT OUT Margaret Gray is a professor of Political Science at Adelphi University and author of Labor and the Locavore: The Making of a Comprehensive Food Ethic. Gray researched her subject for ten years, conducting interviews with 160 Hudson Valley farmworkers and 18 Hudson Valley farmers, and observing farmworker advocacy and labor group meetings. Ruth Reichl is a chef, food writer, restaurant critic, TV personality and former editor of Gourmet magazine.

Reichl has published ten books, most recently My Kitchen Year: 136 Recipes that Saved My Life. Richard Witt, executive director of Rural and Migrant Ministry, will moderate the discussion.

The event is free and open to the public; attendees are invited to bring a non-perishable food item for a local food pantry. Visit www.eventbrite.com/e/ in-the-borderlands-of-food-justiceaconversation-with-ruth-reichl-andmargaret-gray-tickets-18724036096 to register, or www.poklib.org for information about Poughkeepsie Read events. The Marriott Pavilion is located at 1946 Campus Drive, right off Route 9 in Hyde Park.

One Book/One New Paltz to spotlight Orange is the New Black One of the hottest shows on cable TV these days is the Netflix series Orange is the New Black, which wrapped up its third season this past June. Balancing weird, off-the-wall, over-thetop characters with serious questions about the need for prison reform, it has earned an obsessively loyal audience, much praise from critics and the befuddlement of the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, which can’t seem to figure out whether it belongs in the Comedy or Drama category come Emmy Awards season.

But before it was a fictionalized TV series, Orange is the New Black: My Year in a Women’s Prison was a nonfiction memoir by Piper Kerman, a middleclass Smith College grad who ended up in federal correctional facility in Danbury, Connecticut ten years after she helped a former lover smuggle a suitcase full of

Postcard from the 1964/65 New York World’s Fair at Flushing Meadow

EVENT

KAATERSKILL POSTCARD CLUB FALL SALE & SHOW THIS SUNDAY IN KINGSTON

T

here’s a special charm that attaches itself to old postcards: artifacts of the past, created to be ephemera but often preserved as mementos, evoking journeys through time as well as space. The things that they picture may no longer be with us, or may have changed so much as to be barely recognizable. Combine that nostalgic appeal with affordable prices and you come up with a popular collectible indeed.

Kaaterskill Postcard Club meets monthly in Lake Katrine, and twice each year it holds a public show and sale. This Sunday, November 1 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., the Club will present its fall event at the Andy Murphy Midtown Neighborhood Center at 467 Broadway in Kingston. At least 15 vintage postcard dealers will be present, including collectors of local material for the delight of Hudson Valley history buffs.

With 2014/15 marking the 50th anniversary of the 1964/65 New York World’s Fair at Flushing Meadow, a special exhibit of postcards and other Fair memorabilia will be on view. Food will be available for purchase. Admission costs $3. For more info, call (845) 254-4104.

drug money. “Heartbreaking, hilarious and at times enraging, Kerman’s story offers a rare look into the lives of women in prison – why it is we lock so many away and what happens to them when they’re there,” says GoodReads about the book.

Orange is the New Black has been selected as this fall’s community read for One Book/One New Paltz. Readings, panel discussions, screenings and presentations related to the book are scheduled every day from November

Leaving the house can be a wild ride...

15 to 22 at various venues around New Paltz. Probably the biggest draw will be an appearance by Barbara Rosenblat, the actress who plays the character Miss Rosa on the Netflix series, taking place at 7 p.m. on Saturday, November 21 at Studley Theatre on the SUNY-New Paltz campus.

Also of special interest to fans of the show will be a talk by Hudson Valley resident Bernetta Calderone, a former corrections officer who serves as a technical advisor to the program’s producers. That event begins at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, November 19 at the Elting Memorial Library at 93 Main Street.

The library will screen “I Wasn’t Ready,” Episode 1 of Season 1 of Orange is the New Black, the following evening at the same time, with discussion to follow.

At 7 p.m. on Wednesday, November 18 at the Unison Arts Center at 68 Mountain Rest Road, New Paltz Times columnist Susan Slotnick will screen her film The Game Changer, about her work teaching modern dance to prisoners at the Woodbourne Men’s Correctional Facility.

Two of her students will perform. It’s but one of several One Book/One New Paltz events that will tap the experience of local artists, educators, professionals and volunteers who have taught classes, led workshops or done other work at prisons in the Hudson Valley.

For the full schedule of Orange is the New Black happenings, visit http:// onebookonenewpaltz.com/events. As part of the community read, Barner Books and the Inquiring Minds Bookstore in New Paltz are offering a ten percent discount on the purchase price of the book. Copies can be borrowed from the Elting Memorial Library on the corner of Main and North Front Streets or the Sojourner Truth Library on the SUNY-New Paltz campus.

MUSIC Tender bull of the jazz guitar Rosendale CafĂŠ hosts John Abercrombie this Friday

I

n 1973, a few years before his first session as leader, the guitarist John Abercrombie was a member of an early and especially manic fusion group called Friends whose hard-tofind eponymous debut sounds like it was performed a few  rooms away from the one with the microphones in it, in some bunker deep behind the Iron Curtain.

In this warped and remote transmission from some free-but-disturbed musical future, all the elements and influences of first-gen fusion show themselves in the scramble: some Miles, some Ornette and a lot of mad rock and Mahavishnu drumming. A rocked-out Abercrombie duels and dances with Mark Cohenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heavily effected electric saxophone. Due as much to its bizarre production as to its unique, noisy, psychedelic shredding, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a total trip, and well-worth the effort.

But 1975 was the real John Abercrombieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s year of coming out. Supported by drummer Jack DeJohnette and keyboardist Jan Hammer, the ECM release Timeless stands as Abercrombieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitive early artistic statement and a â&#x20AC;&#x153;placeâ&#x20AC;? to which he has returned often throughout his long and prolific career: a place of dwelling, impressionistic, harmonically open mood

pieces counterbalanced by a few fusion workouts courtesy of Hammer.

Later in 1975 came the influential Gateway, also on ECM, the first in a multidecade series of recordings by the great Woodstockcentric trio of Abercrombie, DeJohnette and bassist/composer Dave Holland. Later Gateway releases would become more song-oriented, but the first one teases with a little accessible groove jazz before departing to the land of dissonant, there-is-no-one-so-stopcounting long-form improvisations by some stunningly liberated, empathic and resourceful players. Many of those long, free-jazz jams find Abercrombie beginning in a default jazz tone and working his way out to a fried, fluid rock sound that recalls that Friends record.

All of which is to say that John Abercrombie is not only a genuinely important figure in the narrative of the jazz guitar, but also one with several discrete personalities right from the outset, starting with the duality of sweet and squawk, and eventually coming to embrace an additional identity as a fabulous straight-ahead jazz player in the Jim Hall mode, with a jazz tone to kill or die for.

I need to pause here to remind the readership that when 99.9 percent of Americans stop by the local cafĂŠ to catch a little jazz, it is most definitely not John Abercrombie they are going to see â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or Brad Mehldau, or Dave Liebman, or Don Byron, or Jack DeJohnette, or Dan Tepfer, or Marilyn Crispell, or Joe Lovano, or Bobby Previte, orâ&#x20AC;Śyou get the idea.

These intimate performances by locally residing masters and living legends are so routine around here that it is all too easy to take them for granted. It speaks to jazzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two- or three-decade commercial slump, certainly, but also to the cultural and natural resources of your neighborhood.

Enjoy it while you can.

HVSS Music Night at Old Glenford Church features Caprice Rouge & Bearquilt On paper, the premise of the HVSS (Hudson Valley Sudbury School) Music Night doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sound very radical: a monthly, two-act night of music benefiting a local private school and held in the sprawling, tiered living room of the local artist and master baker/chef Mor Pipman, whose seasonally designed meals are as much the subject of the shows as the music. In practice, however, this durable series has distinguished itself as one of the more robust and adventurous listening-room experiences in a region that is crawling with them.

On Friday, October 30, HVSS serves up an interesting pairing with the Balkan, klezmer and Gypsy-toned Caprice Rouge teaming with Bearquilt, a new and promising Brit-pop-flavored indie-rock group out of the Woodstock area. Dinner starts at 6 p.m. The suggested donation of $5 is for the music and does not include the dinner, which is reasonably priced and unspeakably good. The show goes down at the Old Glenford Church at 210 Old State Route 210 in Glenford, just a few miles past Woodstock on Route 28. For more information, call (203) 592-0537. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; John Burdick

Tibetan Center presents concert with Tenzin Choegyal this Friday The Tibetan Center in Kingston presents â&#x20AC;&#x153;For Tibet with Loveâ&#x20AC;? on Friday, October 30 at 8 p.m. Critically acclaimed Tibetan singer/instrumentalist Tenzin Choegyal will be joined

by Jesse Paris Smith, Rick Patrick and Shyam Nepali. With his extraordinary, soaring vocal ability and skill on the dranyen (Tibetan lute) and lingbu

Saxophonist Karl Densonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s take on jazz and fusion is hard and balls-out.

Whether blowing on the Minimalist, metallic funk/core of New Ammo, the buttoned-down hard bop of Blackened Red Snapper and Baby Food or the dripping space groove of Lunar Orbit, Densonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s music is always forward and aggressive, with a mind toward your face. Denson came to fame as one the lead voices in Lenny Kravitzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s band when Kravitz was at his peak. He has seldom returned to that soul/rock style, but his tight, attack-mode playing and composing have remained his calling card.

It should be fascinating to see what Denson and his cast of Ăźber-cats called Tiny Universe do with their cover-tocover performance of Princeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s classic third record, 1980â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dirty Mind, at the Bearsville Theater. In theory, Densonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lean, muscular and forward approach to groove is a perfect fit for an unusual and insular pop record that went on to turn groove music on its head.

Dan Tepfer & Aaron Diehl join forces at Bard this Friday

Among players, the jazz/classical crossover typically flows in only one direction, from jazz toward classical.

Jazz, like its older sibling concert music, requires extreme discipline and mastery from its players, and it is increasingly a grant-patronized conservatory art as well. The difference is that a jazz education includes the additional module of improvisation and a real-time, actionable command of harmony, for which a classical player would have to double-major in Composition and then loosen up with some drinks and funny cigarettes.

But the performance standards of serious music are so grueling, so microscopic, that it would be a mistake to assume that every fleet-fingered jazz cat is a candidate for classical virtuosity.

In truth, almost none is. A handful of jazz players – really just a handful – have distinguished themselves as recognized interpreters of serious music: Keith Jarrett, the ECM softie whose crystalline, balanced tone and phrasing have made him a lucid interpreter of Bach and others; Wynton Marsalis, the Todd Marinovich of music, engineered from the DNA up for all of it, including the world’s most difficult trumpet concertos; and a few others.

This handful of elite players tends to

George Winston plays Beacon’s Towne Crier this Sunday

M

ore pop Minimalism than Impressionistic piano jazz, George Winston is often unfairly derided for being “jazz lite.” The thing is, it is not jazz, so just shut up. Winston specializes in lucid, sonorous and consonant pianobased compositions that keep the jabs of dissonance and dense colors of even the most layman-friendly jazz Impressionism far at bay.

“New Age” is usually code for “harmonically simplistic and static.” The Windham Hill label flagship act Winston has a few more Modernist moves and colors up his sleeve than he is often given credit for, but they owe more to Satie and Debussy than to Bill Evans or Keith Jarrett. At his best (and he is, if nothing else, wildly consistent), Winston’s crystalline compositions and performances can induce you to reverie even when you’d rather not. Why, I am “there” right now.

The popular pianist and New Age innovator George Winston performs at the Towne Crier in Beacon on Sunday, November 1 at 7 p.m. Tickets cost $40 and are available at www.townecrier.com. The Towne Crier is located at 379 Main Street in Beacon.

But the young pianist Dan Tepfer has quietly positioned himself as a unique crossover figure. He has not yet donned the tails and declared an identity as a concert performer of classical repertoire. Instead, his crossover gesture is integrative and on jazz turf, a collision by design of the two arts: the dialectical Goldberg Variations/Variations, in which

Tepfer performs Bach’s famous keyboard variations in sequence (quite credibly, according to ears more discriminating than mine), following each of Bach’s 30 miniatures with a piano improvisation on its themes.

To see Tepfer perform his variations is to witness a subtle-but-profound mode and identity shift repeated 30 times. Following each variation, Tepfer allows a breath pause, and his posture and body language morph visibly as he moves from the firm

discipline of channeling Bach’s exacting counterpoint to the wild-mind receptivity of channeling…whatever demon it is that jazz solos come from. Typically, the strictures of Baroque harmony are the first thing to go in the improvs, but the counterpoint remains, comes loose in time and is taken to otherworldly places

by Tepfer’s exquisitely musical hands and ears.

On Friday, October 30 at the LUMA Theater in Bard’s Fisher Center, the Fisher Center and the Catskill Jazz Factory present the internationally decorated pianist and composer Dan Tepfer (who is also an advanced student of astrophysics, making him a Chomskyesque figure of multiple masteries) and Aaron Diehl, another accredited young jazz piano master (who also happens to be a licensed pilot), in “Double Trouble: Jazz Meets Classical.” In this exclusive, collaborative performance, Tepfer and Diehl perform a mash-up of J. S. Bach and the Great American Songbook, blending traditional with contemporary and improvisational jazz styles.

The New York Times describes Diehl’s talent as “melodic precision, harmonic erudition and elegant restraint,” and Tepfer as a pianist who “combines superb technique with a complex set of impulses: He’s a deeply rational improviser drawn to the unknown.”

“Aaron really comes from a place of being a student of the early tradition of jazz piano; I come from a passion for the more modern, ‘cutting-edge’ jazz,” said Tepfer. “In many ways, Aaron is working his way forward and I’m working my way backwards, in terms of how we’re each filling in our knowledge of the music. The places where we meet, our common love for Bach and the American Songbook: These are the starting places for our upcoming collaboration.”

Bobby Previte Quartet to play in Beacon The great style-hopping ensembles and reference-mixologists of experimental rock and jazz – Naked City, Mr. Bungle, Zappa and their progeny – tend to be intentionally flitty and skittish, fevered in the event-tempo of their meme shifts and cultural recombinations, driven by hyper-detailed compositional intelligence, acolytes of the great Looney Tunes house composer Carl Stalling. Much of this music makes a cognitive case that ADHD is not a deficiency at all, but rather an alternative and often-more-relevant mode of connection and awareness.

No so the venerable New York drummer, composer and bandleader Bobby Previte.

On paper, Previte might be perceived as an intellectually grounded style-collider of a New York build; but his is not the art of postmodern pastiche, assimilationrecombination, cut-and-paste and the many editorial operations of the meatware sampler. His groove appropriations are deep but not reverent, and the cultural costuming, where it exists at all, is light and non-binding. Spend a couple of afternoons wading through his bottomless catalogue and you will quickly perceive an essential, privileged Previteness to everything that he does.

The essence of Previteness is no mystery.

There are some solid ground rules to this music. First, ensemble improvisation (not soloing) is the norm, the baseline, the default. Previte’s compositions are focused-but-loose-fitting vehicles for the internal action of his various groups of top-tier, New York-style squawkers (which often include such local presences as slide trumpeter Steven Bernstein and keyboardist Jamie Saft). He entrusts many

of the traditional duties of the composer to the empathic intelligence of the ensemble.

Even on the dystopian, neo-blues rock record Coalition of the Willing, Previte keeps the compositional girding pretty lightweight, and the unwavering stylistic coherence of the record has more to do with the collective commitment of the players to the brutal riffage of the concept.

It takes real discipline and oversight, transmitted from the drum chair, to balance form and permission as masterfully as Previte does. So it goes on the luminous noir of Set the Alarm for Monday, the skronky funk of Counterclockwise and the Minimalist soundscaping of Terminals. Deep trust in the players to bring his seeds to flowering: That might be the credo of Previte-the-composer.

Of course, this leads to a lot of music that you will perceive as “free,” but not random; Previte’s compositional seeds are unfailingly cool, deep and worth the dwelling attention of his sympathetic ensembles.

As big a name as there is in this genre, Hudson resident Bobby Previte brings the current Bobby Previte Quartet to Quinn’s in Beacon on Friday, October 30. Onboard for the date are Previte, violinist/guitarist Jonathan Talbott, keyboardist Tyler Wood and electric bassist Terence Murren. There is no cover charge, but generous donation is encouraged. Quinn’s is located at 330 Main

Street in Beacon. For more information, call (845) 202-7447 of find Quinn’s on Facebook.

Playing for Peter Keegan Ales in Kingston hosts musical benefit for a beloved musician this Sunday

E

ven on the slim chance that you don’t know Peter Buettner, Keegan Ales in Kingston is the place to be this Sunday. You’ll hear many of the Hudson Valley’s finest musicians perform, and you can place bids for Silent Auction items of rare, practical and wondrous value. Most importantly, the afternoon-into-evening event will show you how the people of the Hudson Valley put heart and soul into assisting a talented and beloved member of their community. All proceeds from “Playing for Peter: A Musical Benefit and Silent Auction for Peter Buettner” will go directly to Buettner, who has recently been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and is now adapting to a new way and view of life.

Due to the tremors associated with the disease, it’s no longer possible for Buettner to work as a carpenter or to perform on his beloved woodwind instruments. The benefit and an online GoFundMe drive were initiated to help him to offset lost wages, to pay for treatments not covered by his health insurance and to buy him some time while he transitions away from his longtime livelihoods.

Buettner says that he has had tremors for years, and people had noticed “a little shuffle in my walk.” About a year ago, he went to a neurologist and was told

Peter Buettner

to check back in three months. “I was in denial. I didn’t want to know, but by midsummer, I knew I had to go. One way I knew I needed to get myself checked out was that the instruments were moving too much in my mouth to get a good sound,” he says. “I was performing on my flute with a choir at the monastery and was shaking so badly I could barely play.”

Now that the medicine prescribed for him is kicking in, he can do a little fluteplaying, but it will be a while before he can play out again. He voluntary gave up carpentry because it was dangerous and ineffective for him to be a part of a crew, but now he has to figure out how to make a living again.

One “blessing in disguise” following on the heels of acceptance has been that he’s

writing a lot of music. “I was ready to get out of the building trades, and wanted to have more time for composing, but this wasn’t the way I thought I’d do it,” he says.

“I’m taking full advantage of that, and have been using a Sibelius notation program to write music for woodwind quintets and classical art music ensembles. The software has a large number of orchestral sounds and plays back pretty well. I’m not sure yet how or if I’ll be able to make a living from doing it, or if I’ll be able to raise the money to pay performers; but there is gratification from doing it for now.”

Thus far, the degenerative disease has not affected Buettner’s strength, balance or digital dexterity, and he is still able to drive, cook, stack wood and complete other functions of daily life. “It was tough, initially, but I’m dealing with it, and have come to accept the prognosis and am getting on with my life,” says Buettner. “All the bitter tears in the world won’t make any difference.”

Meditating frequently, reading Tibetan

CALM Treasures of lasting value that will change your life – forever. That’s what you’ll find at Mirabai, or perhaps what will find you.

Wisdom, serenity, transformation.

Value beyond measure.

Buddhism books and spending time at Karma Triyana Dharmachakra (KTD), the Tibetan Buddhist monastery in Woodstock, have all helped enormously, he says, adding, “Deterioration of the body is inevitable. All of us will be in the hot seat at some point. It’s not like any of us can escape that. Meditation helps keep my mind calm, and watching my diet, acupuncture, qigong, yoga, exercise, taking walks and runs…all are helping to strengthen my immune system and assist my body in dealing with the stresses of the disease.”

Buettner has lived in the Woodstock area for 35 years, and many know him for his fine carpentry work and for his musical performances with PRANA, Futu Futu and Mambo Kikongo, as well as his longtime affiliation with musicians from the Creative Music Studio. He admits that the outpouring of support from musicians, friends, tradespeople and others has been “astounding. I really love this place, and the people for it. It’s been amazing, inspirational, and it makes me want to help others, too,” he says. “I mean, I always did help others, but now, just, oh my God – the interconnectedness of all of us is a very special thing about this community.”

And, he advises, if you notice that something in your own body just isn’t right or you’re experiencing tremors that won’t go away, “Get yourself checked out. It’s not always Parkinson’s; there can other neurological disorders – even Lyme disease or vitamin and mineral deficiencies – that can cause tremors.”

Broadening to a wide perspective, Buettner – who has himself performed countless benefits for others in need over the past many years – adds, “Be kind to one another as often as you can. We’re all in the same boat, and I feel like this diagnosis has changed my life for the better – even facing physical disability. I was always afraid of getting something, and now that I’ve got it, it’s real. It’s here. There’s a lot of energy and research now around Parkinson’s, and things like new drugs and deep brain stimulation techniques are not a cure, but something will come up.”

The musical lineup, as of presstime, will be the Lindsey Webster Band, the D Squared Blues Band, Blue Food, Kyle Esposito & Friends (featuring members of Naked and Backburners), Gus Mancini’s Sonic Soul Band, Mark Marshall, Kevin Chase, Mister Kick, the Gold Hope Duo, Joe Beesmer, Feast of Friends, Willie Smith, Petito, Levin, Lawrence & Siegel and the New Review.

Silent Auction items donated, to date, include: Guru Padmasambhava, drawing and calligraphy by Jamyang Dorjee Chakrishar (stamped and signed by the artist and by His Holiness, the Dalai Lama); a Spector Rex 5 bass; Charm, oil on canvas by Kathleen McGuiness; a full day of recording or mixing at Area 52 Recording Studio with engineer Dave Cook; plus an array of artwork, photography, classes, books, gift baskets and gift certificates from service businesses, restaurants, retailers and individuals. Donations are still being accepted at www.playingforpeter.com.

In addition to the fundraiser on Sunday at Keegan Ales, a GoFundMe account at www.gofundme.com/745pmhpw has been established for online monetary donations.

MOVIE High stakes Land and other values pose ethical conundrums in Oliverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Deal

W

hile itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primarily geared toward raising the profile of independently produced films that tend to get overlooked by the mainstream moviegoing public, each year the Woodstock Film Festival manages to book some new works whose high production values and/or big-name cast or directors seem likely to ease them into local cinemas at some point. And some, like last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Imitation Game, manage to do very well for themselves at the box office. Predicting which festival-circuit favorites will catch on in the marketplace is a tricky business, but this year or early in 2016 I foresee broader distribution in store for Oliverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Deal, which had its North American premiere at the Woodstock Film Festival a few weeks back and copped this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Maverick Award for Best Feature Narrative.

Originally titled La Deuda (The Debt) in its Spanish-language debut and now tweaked for the Norteamericano market, the film is the first feature written and directed by Barney Elliott. His short films True Colours and Ultimo Recurso garnered him some awards and positive press, plus a residency fellowship at Cannes, where he wrote the first scripts for Oliverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Deal.

Elliott lives in Lima, Peru, and his new movie draws on that countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ancient heritage and turbulent recent history to tell a tale that interweaves threads of social and magical realism.

Three narratives flow in parallel in Oliverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Deal, destined to intersect at the filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s climax in ways that illustrate the impact of multinational corporate power on the lives of poor and middleclass people in the Third World. Oliver (Stephen Dorff ) is an intense, ambitious young New York hedge fund manager whose Type A personality and frequent absence on business travel are putting strains on his marriage and making him a stranger to his young child. He has been working for years to close a big campaign to buy up government bonds on adjoining rural properties covering a large area of the Altiplano, where landowners live in desperate poverty waiting for the promises of Peruâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1968 land reforms to come true.

Success is so close that Oliver can almost taste it; only one large landholder is still holding out.

But then his boss Nathan, played in pitch-perfect sleek-villain mode by the mid-Hudsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own David Strathairn, informs Oliver that the campaign is going to be written off as a bad deal unless he can close it within two weeks. With assistance from his Peruvian-born colleague Ricardo

ORPHEUM

(Alberto Ammann), he takes off for Lima to meet with government officials and a competing land baron, Caravedo (Carlos Bardem), singlemindedly intent on tracking down the missing piece of his assignment.

But Fiorentino (Amiel Cayo), the farmer who owns that keystone property, is a stubborn fellow to whom connection to that land is a lifeline to Peruâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cultural heritage and his own sense of pride and purpose. The filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second narrative plays out through the eyes of Fiorentinoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s young son Diego (Marco Antonio Ramirez), who dreams of riding one day in one of the helicopters that keep surveying the coveted lands. Will he get his wish, and at what price?

Diegoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s apparent destiny as a shepherd living in harsh conditions with an evenharsher father begins to alter one day

when, distracted by a helicopter, he loses sight of the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scruffy-but-endearing llama, Choclo. Finding and bringing home the straying beast becomes Diegoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Odyssey. Lost and injured, he crosses paths with the land-scouting Ricardo, and the two quickly form a bond that makes the displaced Peruvian reconsider his divided loyalties to homeland and career.

Meanwhile, in Lima, MarĂ­a (Elsa Olivero) works as a nurse in a hospital that is so understaffed and financially strapped that she canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t manage to get her ailing mother scheduled for lifesaving surgery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody has a price,â&#x20AC;? reads the movieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tagline, and MarĂ­a finds herself contemplating ethical compromises that she never imagined of herself in order to get her motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name on the surgeonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s list. The decisions that she makes take her down a path that will ultimately collide

What do you value most, and what are you willing to do â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or give up â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to get it?

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the core question that confronts each of this filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s protagonists, and their respective stories are laid out with narrative elegance, emotional power, stunning cinematography and superlative acting all around. Gritty and sometimes grim, but brimming with heart and the luminous beauty of the Andean plateau, Oliverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Deal is an impressive feature debut for Elliott, from whom great things can be expected in the future. If this film makes it to a cinema near you, I highly recommend that you catch it. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Frances Marion Platt

ordanian director Naji Abu Nowar wanted to make a feature film about Bedouins, inspired particularly by the dramatic possibilities inherent in the sacred law of hospitality, or dakheel: If a stranger arrives at your tent requesting refuge, it is your duty to grant him protection until the threat can be peacefully resolved â&#x20AC;&#x201C; even if he has killed a member of the hostâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own family. In Bedouin culture, a manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reputation is defined by what he does in such difficult circumstances, and one with the strength of character to endure such an ordeal would be called a theeb, meaning â&#x20AC;&#x153;wolf.â&#x20AC;?

Thence comes the title of Abu Nowarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new movie Theeb, whose story is predicated on the question, â&#x20AC;&#x153;What would happen if you were stranded with your worst enemy but needed their help to stay alive?â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also the name of a young boy who is one of the filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s protagonists, along with his older brother Hussein. The year is 1916. While war rages in the Ottoman Empire, Hussein raises his younger brother in an isolated traditional Bedouin community. Their quiet existence is suddenly interrupted when a British Army officer and his guide ask Hussein to escort them to a water well located along the old pilgrimage route to Mecca. The young, mischievous Theeb chases after his brother, but the group soon find themselves trapped amidst threatening terrain riddled with Ottoman mercenaries, Arab revolutionaries and outcast Bedouin raiders.

Set in the land of Lawrence of Arabia and described as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bedouin Western,â&#x20AC;? Theeb has won high critical praise as an epic adventure and coming-of-age story, garnering a slew of awards on the international festival circuit. It will be Jordanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s official submission this year for the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar.

Theeb will have a special screening at Upstate Films Rhinebeck at 8 p.m. on Wednesday, November 4 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; two days ahead of its official New York theatrical opening at Lincoln Plaza Cinema â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with the director on hand for a live question-and-answer session.

Shadowland in Ellenville stages Arsenic and Old Lace, vintage radio -style, for Halloween

A

unt Martha and Aunt Abby consider it their charitable duty to poison lonely old men with spiked elderberry wine â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re among the saner members, comparatively speaking, of the outwardly respectable, stuffily WASPy Brewster clan. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a nephew who thinks heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Teddy Roosevelt and is digging the Panama Canal in the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brooklyn basement. Another â&#x20AC;&#x201C; portrayed

by Boris Karloff in the original Broadway version â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is a homicidal maniac who has employed an alcoholic plastic surgeon to disguise his identity, with the result that he now bears a remarkable resemblance to Karloff as Frankensteinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s monster.

Bring a pair of sympathetic young lovers into the mix and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got Arsenic and Old Lace, Joseph Kesselringâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s macabre 1939 stage comedy inspired by a real-life serial killer who ran a nursing home in Connecticut in the 19-teens.

Most people know Arsenic and Old Lace from Frank Capraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s classic 1944 movie version starring Cary Grant, but it was also adapted for radio in 1952 as part of a series called Best Plays.

TRINITY PLAYERS PERFORM THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW AT CUNNEEN-HACKETT IN POUGHKEEPSIE

I

f you’re a GenXer, you probably have fond memories of the first time you saw The Rocky Horror Picture Show at some midnight screening back in the ’70s or ’80s. You may even have gotten caught up in the fever and gone back many times, equipped with your kit of props and things to throw at the screen while reciting iconic lines. But before it became a movie that made a star of Tim Curry, The Rocky Horror Show was a stage musical, written by Richard O’Brien – one that still gets produced every year around Halloween time all over America.

Now you have your chance to do the Time Warp again. Trinity Players, the community theater company based in LaGrangeville, will be performing the campy sci-fi/horror B-movie spoof live this weekend in a suitably Gothic setting: Poughkeepsie’s Victorian-gingerbready Cunneen-Hackett Arts Center, located at 12 Vassar Street, which could pass for a haunted house on a dark night. Amy Emke directs, with musical direction by John Barath. Shows begin at 8 p.m. on Friday, October 30 and at 7 p.m. and midnight on Saturday, October 31. A “rocking party” in between the two shows on Saturday is promised as well.

Admission costs $18.50; for tickets, visit www.trinityplayers.org/#!tickets/c104r.

And she still has a directness that gives her true métier, in person, a charge that goes far beyond the power of what she presents on the page.

“Have you ever been a song? Would you think less of me if I told you I have lived my entire life a little off-key and I’m not nearly as smart as my poetry?” she has written in “Asking Too Much. “I just plagiarized the thoughts of the people around me who have learned the wisdom of silence.”

Gibson, a four-time Denver Grand Slam

Champion, National Poetry Slam finalist and star of Individual World Poetry Slams over the years, addresses all the big subjects in her work, from war and class through sexuality and privilege to love and spirituality, plus all that’s current. She has been featured on the BBC, Air America, C-SPAN and Free Speech TV. “I honestly can’t imagine how it would feel to walk into a room full of people and not feel the roof collapsing on my ‘NO NO NO I am not fine.’ Fine is the suckiest word, it never tells the truth,” she writes in “Panic Button Collector.” “And more than anything I have ever been afraid of I am terrified of lies/ How they war the world/How they sound by our tongues/ How they bone dry the marrow./ How did we get through high school without being

Buyer & Cellar, the one-man show about an unemployed Los Angeles actor in Barbra Streisand’s basement that earned critics’ raves and awards last year and comes to Kingston this weekend, is a surrealistic comedy. It has just enough truth to make its fictional elements shine.

Inspired by la Streisand’s book about her Malibu dream home, My Passion for Design, Jonathan Tolin’s play started with his imagining of what it would be like to have one’s own mall in a basement (as the Broadway and Hollywood legend does), complete with a doll shop, an antique clothing store, a sweet shop and costumes from her career. The main (and only) character in Buyer & Cellar has been hired to work the mall, with Barbra his only customer. Friendship, hopes and dreams, impersonations and a jealous lover come into play. And no, Tolin has not been sued – yet.

Mark Chmiel, who plays Alex in this staged reading directed by Nicola Sheara, is an Actor’s Equity veteran of numerous Broadway, Off-Broadway and nationally touring productions.

ART Of form and fauna Philip Monteleoni’s sculptural menagerie on view at Arts Society of Kingston

B

ack in the ’70s when he did his first stone carvings of animals as a diversion from his architectural practice, Philip Monteleoni’s intention was to capture their beauty. But in recent years, after retiring in 2007 and taking up sculpture again, depicting animals became more about “a mission in my mind,” as he puts it, “to help reawaken feelings in people that might help slow down the extinction of species all over the world.”

By portraying his subjects as faithfully as possible with proportions as correct as he can make them, he hopes to contribute to the viewer’s empathy for animals.

The Arts Society of Kingston is exhibiting “Menagerie: Sculptures in Marble, Stone and Metal by Philip Monteleoni” through Saturday, October 31. Gallery hours at 97 Broadway are Tuesday through Saturday from 1 to 6 p.m.

The Olivebridge-based sculptor works in a studio over his garage. Carving stone is “a messy business,” he says. Monteleoni often lets the shape of the raw stone suggest the animal form that it becomes.

He’s also motivated by interesting coloration; onyx is his latest thing. He turns to photographs that he has taken in zoos or in the wild on trips to places that include Tanzania and India. A trip to Costa Rica to observe birds is next on the horizon. He has also taken the opportunity to sketch after hours in the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, where they have a program for artists to draw from the animals in the dioramas there.

After retiring from his architectural practice, Monteleoni studied sculpture at the Art Students’ League in New York City. When he and his wife, Carol, moved up to the Hudson Valley to live full-time in what had been their weekend home – one that he’d designed and built himself – he studied figurative clay sculpture with Tricia Cline at the Woodstock School of Art. Monteleoni credits her with teaching

him to be disciplined in using calipers and other forms of measurement to communicate form without simplifying or cutting corners.

He enjoys the physicality of sculpting after the years of architecture, “which is all paper-based and involves lots of talk and years-long delays before any outcome.”

He was happy to be an architect, he says, “but looking back, this was a second part of me that was subsumed initially and now is coming out. And I’m just marveling at it and happy about it. It was in there, but it was untapped.”

ART

THE EYES AND EARS OF THE BEHOLDERS Students respond to works of art by performing works of art at the Dorsky Museum’s Art Collides event in New Paltz “Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.”

– Edgar Degas

“W

hat can we do to help the museum?” That was the question posed by a handful of art students at SUNY-New Paltz last spring. They had approached Sara Pasti, the Neil C. Trager director of the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art on campus. The students were all enthusiastic museumgoers themselves, but as Pasti explains, that’s not always the case with college students and their university art museums. “Students will come in for a course assignment, but one of the greatest challenges on any campus is getting students to just wander into the museum and see what’s there. Students are so focused on their studies and their social life that some of the other activities available on campus unrelated to those two things don’t always make it onto their list of priorities.”

Pasti’s reply to the students’ query was to ask them, “Do you think you would be able to help us bring students into the museum?” Their response was the formation of the Dorsky Museum Ambassadors, whose first effort to attract more students into the museum was “Art Collides,” a series of student performances created in response to the art on exhibit. The event was such a success last April – more than 150 students showed up at the museum on a Saturday afternoon – that it’s now being planned as a twice-yearly event. The second iteration of Art Collides will take place on Saturday, November 7 from 2 to 4 p.m. in the galleries of the museum. A reception follows the event. Admission is free.

This year, participating student performers have each chosen a work currently on view to respond to with original poetry, performance art or a musical composition. Two students will respond to the “Reading Objects” exhibit, three to the Jervis McEntee show and five to the “Stories We Tell: Hudson Valley Artists” exhibition.

Students Patricia Backman, Zoe Baker, Jessica Dow, Hannah Schaming and Jessica Lynn were the original Dorsky Museum Ambassadors. Lynn has since graduated, but since she now works at the Dorsky as weekend museum manager, she is able to remain involved in the second project from the standpoint of museum staff. Current student Danielle Epstein has joined the group.

“It has been a great experience for all of them,” Pasti says. “And they’re the ones doing all of the work. I’m there to provide feedback, but they’re producing the whole event themselves. The students came up with the idea of inviting other students on the campus to respond to the art on the walls; they came up with the name; and they did all of the promotion, met with all the student performers, discussed with them what they were doing, figured out who would go on and at what time and then promoted it through flyers, posters and social media.”

As future Art Collides events are planned, one each semester, “We’re hoping as they become upperclassmen and leave, there will be other students coming along to fill their shoes,” says Pasti. And that’s likely to happen. The Dorsky Museum Ambassadors have submitted an application to the college to become an official ongoing club at SUNY-New Paltz. Members will not only work on future Art Collides events, but also be called upon to act as student guides at exhibition openings and do other related museum activities.

“What’s so special about all of this is that this is so self-motivated,” Pasti adds. “These are students who just love museums and want to be involved in the work that goes on here, and they’ve taken complete ownership of it. They’re terrific.”

– Sharyn Flanagan

and medical staff. “I really felt that, as architects, we solved the museum, the airport, the bank, the opera house... and they’re places for people in a fairly positive state of mind. But when you go

to the hospital, nothing is hopeful at that point. You lose control over parts of your body and you don’t know what’s going on.

If you’re accompanying somebody, you don’t know what kind of news you’re going

to hear. And if you’re a staff member, you never know what type of difficult things are going to be a part of your working day.

So designing for this underappreciated building type is the ultimate challenge, I

think, for an architect.”

Of the many projects that Monteleoni worked on in this country and abroad, the one that he’s proudest of is the Sheikh Khalifa Specialist Hospital in Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates.

It was the last project that he designed before retirement. Most of the time healthcare architecture involves adding onto campuses that already exist, he says, but in this case his firm was given a blank slate to create a hospital from the ground up. It was built just as planned – a rarity in architecture, he notes – and the building embodies all the principles of good design and patient-centered planning that he tried to incorporate into all his work over the years.

Monteleoni began life as an Italian, born in Padova, Italy during World War II. When Allied forces invaded Italy in September 1943 and Italy changed sides, his father, an officer in the Italian Navy, avoided being rounded up by occupying German forces and went to New London, Connecticut, where he was put in charge of Italian submarines being used for military exercises by the US Navy. He eventually earned commendations that allowed him postwar to become a resident.

“I was still in Italy with my mother, and it took us three years to get our visas to come to the US,” Monteleoni says. “My father became a businessman, got into importing and exporting, and he imported us.”

Arriving in this country in 1948 speaking only Italian, the six-year-old was put into the first grade. “It was sink or swim with the English language,” he says now, but he did well, in time attending Harvard and then Yale for a graduate degree in Architecture. “I’ve been extremely blessed with privilege and education. I don’t know how I got so lucky.”

Monteleoni currently enjoys spending his mornings on sculpture and his afternoons playing guitar. As for what the future holds, the birth of his first grandson, Calvin, may have sent him in a new direction in terms of sculptural subject matter. After his son and daughterin-law sent ultrasound pictures last year with the news that they were expecting, Monteleoni was inspired to create a piece in onyx depicting an embryo in the womb.

That work is on display through Saturday in Kingston, along with approximately 25 other stone sculptures and metalworks and a selection of drawings.

Haute on Hudson Knitwear artist Melissa Halvorson inspires students at prestigious Marist Fashion Program

S

ometimes, when you follow your curiosity, you land in a creative oasis. That’s what happened to Melissa Halvorson when she answered the call of adventure in 1998. “I tagged along with some friends who were headed to New Paltz. For people like me, who are from the Northwest,” she says, “there’s a real romance about living on the East Coast.

Now I have a profession, a career here –

one that I never intended – and I feel like the luckiest person in the world.”

Halvorson, a knitwear designer who lives in Uptown Kingston, has developed patterns for Vogue. Her work has been shown in art galleries. Her primary job these days is as visiting professional lecturer in Fashion Merchandising and Textiles in the Fashion Program at Marist College in Poughkeepsie.

“I see education as a creative act.

In an institutional setting, you can do things that you can’t do individually because you don’t have the means to do them,” says Halvorson. As a teacher, she describes herself as an adult ally, a faculty collaborator.

“It’s a really good, unique role. It’s different from a friend or a parent. I help students decide how to handle complicated situations with creativity. As someone once said to me, ‘It’s about how to creatively manage creative people,’ and I think that’s a great concept. If students are working on a creative project and doing well with it, but not great…the project wants great, not good. I encourage my students to go further than they might in an ordinary class. The project wants their best idea, their meatiest work, and it’s my role to get people to feel they can produce that – to know that they can go further.”

Marist’s Fashion Program ranks Number 15 in the nation and it is the Third Best fashion program in New York (following the Fashion Institute of Technology and the New School). The Poughkeepsie

liberal arts college offers two Bachelor’slevel degrees in fashion – Fashion Design and Fashion Merchandising – and most Fashion students spend at least one semester, often more, studying off-campus in Florence, Paris, London, Hong Kong or Manhattan. Its summer Fashion program, offered in partnership with the Istituto Lorenzo de’ Medici in Florence, focuses on portfolio development for talented high school students.

And each spring, Marist hosts the Silver Needle Runway Show and Awards at the Mid-Hudson Civic Center in Poughkeepsie. If you missed the

look at the work of this new generation of designers, so make a note to attend in spring 2016. “Fashion affords you the freedom to be a little bit grandiose,” says Halvorson, “and we have some big, fabulous plans for our 30th-anniversary 2016 Silver Needle Runaway and Awards.”

clothing and models are prominent, of course, but the writing is striking: Students offer fascinating perspectives on inspiration, how shopping has changed since the late 19th century, the effect of 3-D printing on fashion design, a history of textiles, the gender-neutral movement; and they accent the pages with their own experiences of studying and creating fashion while traveling abroad and throughout the US. Photo shoots to portray the work of senior designers were scheduled at undisclosed locations, and the designers were initially uncomfortable with the experience. “The location might be a urine-soaked nightclub bathroom or standing in front of a pile of garbage in an artist’s studio – but once they were there, living in that experience, they all stepped into some seriously magic moments,” says Halvorson. “You can plan all you want, but you want the moment to take over.

The photographer might say, ‘Stand on that table, in that light, with that plant,’ and everyone scrambles. It’s the idea of surprise, yes. We’re more comfortable with things we recognize, but we’re so thrilled by the unfamiliar. With more than 400 students in the Fashion Program, the book is meant to be the story of the entire program, told from disparate points of view.”

“I always say fashion isn’t about clothes,” adds Halvorson. “It’s about change, about tension, and it’s a reflection of society, politics, economics. Fashion is used as a tool. People often say they don’t know about fashion, that they’re not ‘fashionable’ in a sort of self-deprecating way, as if they can separate themselves from it. We conceived the book as a way to tell visible stories about fashion.”

Halvorson describes the Marist Fashion Program as an incredible little incubator, due to its small, close and collaborative nature. “It’s really a super-nurturing place to work and teach. We want the best ideas.

We want to err on the side of creativity, rather than protocol or convention.” She believes that the program has grown in

stature due to this commitment to original, creative thought. And, since Marist offers liberal arts degree programs, parents or others who may view the choice of an artistic path with skepticism feel security in knowing that graduates obtain a BFA/BS in their field.

“If I sound like a cheerleader, well, I am,” she laughs, “but I’m totally sincere. I feel completely challenged, in the best way, by the program, by my colleagues, by the students, by our work together. It’s why I live 3,000 miles from home.”

TASTE Fortnight for foodies Hudson Valley Restaurant Week(s), November 2-15

H

udson Valley chefs are at their best as Fall Restaurant Week once again showcases seasonal menus and locally sourced foods in a culinary event that continues to grow. From November 2 through the 15th, the region’s adept restaurateurs will show off their stuff, offering savory dishes that feature greens grown on restaurant rooftops, menus based on less waste, fall flavors and more.

A complete list of 185 participating restaurants is now live online, including more than a dozen restaurants new to Restaurant Week. The two-week dining event offers consumers the chance to experience the best restaurants of the region at a fraction of the normal price point.

“Restaurant Week is always exciting, and this fall’s event offers even more,” says Hudson Valley Restaurant Week founder and Valley Table magazine publisher Janet Crawshaw. “Many of our top chefs will be capitalizing on the latest innovative dining trends. We’re looking for a lot of seasonal, local items; we’ve already heard from many chefs who are using new local beer in creative ways in their dishes. It’s all very exciting.”

Home to the Culinary Institute of America, the Hudson Valley is a hotbed of culinary talent. More and more New York City chefs, including Jean-Georges Vongerichten, Michael Psilakis, Mario Batali and Michael White, have come upriver to open restaurants closer to the farms, expanding the array of dining

Many of the Hudson Valley’s best chefs are cooking up innovative dishes with the local beers in the kitchen.

options. At the forefront of the farm-totable movement, the region’s burgeoning agricultural economy means that there is an almost endless supply of local ingredients firing the chefs’ imaginations.

Many Restaurant Week menus will feature innovative use of the Valley’s bounty.

Locally rooted dishes featured on menus across the region now openly tout their provenance: Migliorelli Farm parsnip purée; Crown Maple glazed Brussels sprouts; Catskill Mountain brook trout.

Some restaurants have gone beyond sourcing local ingredients and have joined the “grow-your-own” trend. Union in Haverstraw maintains a thriving rooftop garden that supplies the restaurant with

zucchini, tomato, pineapple sage, basil, cilantro, mint and more. The 40-acre Millstone Farm provides the majority of the fresh greens, organic fruits, vegetables, herbs, honey and eggs for its Henry’s at the Farm in Milton. Purdy’s Farmer and the Fish, located in a 200-year-old farmhouse in North Salem, gets most of all the vegetables and herbs used in the kitchen from its on-site terraced garden.

The Clock Tower Grill grows tomatoes, basil, parsley, thyme, kale, carrots and more literally right out its back door in Brewster.

The Hudson Valley also is at the forefront of one of the leading trends nationwide: the explosion of local craft beer. Many of the Valley’s best restaurants have joined the “brew-your-own” trend or have partnered with a local brewery for local draughts at the bar – or they’re cooking up innovative dishes with the local beers in the kitchen. The Restaurant Week menu at the Mill House Brewing Company in Poughkeepsie, for example, will feature smoked pork tenderloin prepared with its own Pop’s Imperial Maple Pumpkin Ale, savory winter sausage, sweet potato purée and caramelized turnips. Chef Elena Angelides of Daryl’s House Club in Pawling will be cooking up her Peekskill Pork Chops Special: seared rosemaryseasoned pork chops with cherry peppers and onions deglazed with Peekskill Brewery’s Eastern Standard IPA. Hudson Valley Restaurant Week was launched nearly a decade ago by the Valley Table to showcase the area’s vibrant

dining scene and also to help reinforce relationships among the chefs and local farmers, winemakers, brewers, distillers, artisanal producers and purveyors.

Spanning 114 miles across six New York State counties, it is geographically one of the largest Restaurant Week events in the nation.

Mary Giuliani

BOOK

Eat. Drink. Play. Recover.

Woodstock, Rhinebeck to host book-signings for Mary Giuliani’s The Cocktail Party

She’s known as “the caterer to the stars,” and her website indicates a dedication to a “creative, boutique, customized approach to high-end entertaining.” Don’t let these superlative descriptors belie the fact that Mary Giuliani’s approach to throwing a perfect party – no matter if it’s small, large, high-end or down-and-gritty – is totally approachable. In fact, she insists on it being fun. Her new book, The Cocktail Party, is proof that this party girl’s mission is for you to have a good time entertaining your guests.

The book’s subtitle is her motto: Eat. Drink. Play. Recover. All aspects of a basic party plan are geared to enjoying the experience, from choosing and creating delightful edibles and inventive drinks to injecting frivolity into the process and end product as well, to plotting your own recuperation after the last guest leaves. It is an entirely thoughtful instruction book, replete with hints on how to accomplish what for some is a foreboding task and how to do so by breaking certain old-fashioned rules, like replacing a sit-down dinner at your wedding with a cocktail party. Like going all quirky with your setting and your service: How do you suppose Mason jars became the fashionable container for all kinds of libations? Like surprising your guests with breakfast hors d’oeuvres a few moments after midnight on New Year’s.

The book – expertly, frivolously designed and illustrated by local creative Jason O’Malley – includes inspiring stories and helpful anecdotes, along with party prep playlists and, perhaps most important at this point in the year, pages of advice on dealing with the holidays: Keep the cheese tray separate. Pre-batch your drinks. Walk through your party from start to finish from the perspective of your guests. Clean up the same night. Like that. What’s more, Giuliani landed some awesome approbation in Mario Batali’s generous preface.

Some people are naturally organized and ready to throw a party at the slightest suggestion, but I think that it takes some savvy. Giuliani is all about sharing hers in The Cocktail Party. Oh, and the recipes are tried-and-true. Follow them and you too might gain a few superlatives for your reputation.

– Ann Hutton Mary Giuliani’s The Cocktail Party book-signing, Friday, October 30, 6 p.m., Golden Notebook, 29 Tinker Street, Woodstock; (845) 679-8000, www.goldennotebook.com/event/mary-giuliani-cocktail-party-eat-drink-play-recover.

Hosted at Grand Cru by the library’s staff of sagacious trivia experts, the evening will offer teams of four the opportunity to show their brainpower in a run of entertaining questions, all the while enjoying the exceptional array of wine, beer, cheese and charcuteries for which Grand Cru is known. In an atmosphere described as “relaxing and uncomplicated,” craft beer enthusiasts can choose from 300 different styles, including up to ten rotating beers on tap.

The Starr Library, founded in 1862, serves the community by providing a

number of educational and recreational programs throughout the year. Located at 68 West Market Street in the Village of Rhinebeck, the library continues to expand those services and encourages community members to get involved.

Meanwhile, trivia aficionados will not want to stay home and stare at the TV next week. Come in a team of four, or come alone and you’ll be teamed up with other players. Registration is required, and prizes will be awarded.

Ireland, has sponsored a blind-submission competition for recent original stageworks, called the NEWvember New Plays Festival. It’s back next week, and among the six plays chosen this year on the basis of “originality, range, production potential, narrative quality and emotional resonance” from among nearly 500 submitted is one by a Hudson Valley playwright, Steven Haworth of Garrison.

Haworth’s entry, The Other Genius, will be presented on Saturday, November 7 at 8 p.m.

Described as “a razor-sharp comedy of love triangles, master criminals, art deals, family secrets, murder plots, Oedipal rivalry and Serbian ninjas,” the play involves a college student in love with one of his professors who may or may not have had an affair with the student’s father back when she was his babysitter, possibly prompting his mother’s suicide.

The other 2015 NEWvember plays include The Third Rail by Jacob Perkins of Brooklyn, to be performed at 8 p.m. on Thursday, November 5; The Mongoose

by Will Arbery of Evanston, Illinois, 8 p.m., Friday, November 6; Last Flight of the Mercenary by Karen Howes of Los Angeles and Madison, New Jersey, 2 p.m., Saturday, November 7; The Orange Garden by Joanna Garner of Austin, Texas, 2 p.m., Sunday, November 8; and Love, Love: Last Stand at Helm’s Deep by Peter Papadopoulos of San Francisco, 6 p.m., Sunday, November 8.

All NEWvember Festival performances are live readings and will be held at the Carpenter Shop Theater, Tangent’s 50seat performance space at 60 Broadway in the center of Tivoli. Tickets cost $15 per play; a festival pass providing admission to all six shows goes for $60.

HISTORY He called her Jannetje Kinderhook, Martin Van Buren and the First Lady Who Never Was

A

s you drive north through Columbia County, you reach Kinderhook, home to the eighth president of the United States, Martin Van Buren. Just outside of town is the Kinderhook Cemetery, where, next to his wife Hannah, you will find the president’s final resting place. You are to be excused if, when thinking of a presidential family from the Hudson Valley, you thought solely of the Roosevelts. You would be further excused if you assumed that Hannah Van Buren served along side her husband as first lady of the land; after all, there she is on the official White House website.

Truth be told, to the life-lasting sadness of the president, Hannah Van Buren would never set foot in the White House nor spend a single night under its roof.

Born in 1782, the future president was raised by Dutch parents, with Van Buren receiving his early schooling at the Kinderhook Academy. A young Martin also received an early political education by virtue of the fact that his father’s tavern often served as a local center for the sometimes-raucous political debate that befitted a new nation.

Van Buren couldn’t afford to attend college, so he began an apprenticeship with a local lawyer, Francis Sylvester, and, in 1803, passed the bar and took up practice as a lawyer. Having achieved some stability, Van Buren asked his childhood sweetheart (and distant cousin) Hannah for her hand in marriage in 1807. Seeking a private ceremony away from their large families and collection of friends, the couple slipped across the Hudson River to Catskill to be married in the home of Hannah’s sister by her husband, judge Moses Cantine. The house in which they were married still stands on West Main Street in Catskill.

Van Buren called his new bride Jannetje: Dutch for Hannah. Within a year of their marriage, the political world began to call to Van Buren, and the couple moved to Hudson, where Van Buren took a post

in county government. By 1812, with his election to the first of two terms as state senator, Van Buren’s political career was on the rise. As a result, home became Albany.

An adherent to the Jeffersonian philosophy of limited government, Van Buren, as he rose through the ranks of state government, began to build his own version of an early political machine.

Through the careful construction of political alliances and patronage, the Van Buren home, much like his father’s tavern back in Kinderhook, became an active gathering point for political acquaintances, government aides and members of his law firm.

Throughout those early years of marriage and away from the only home that she had known, Hannah endeavored to fill her role as a 19th-century wife and mother. As is the case with so many women whose lives were eclipsed by the public careers of powerful husbands in the 1800s, information about her life is limited. We do know that Hannah was a pious woman with blue eyes and blonde hair who gave what time she could to the church. Raised under the Dutch Reformed Church, she dedicated herself to the Presbyterian Church following the couple’s move to Albany.

The major portion of her day, however, was given to raising her children. Hannah gave birth to six children – four of whom would live. A son, Winfield Scott Van Buren, died in 1814, while an earlier child, a girl, was stillborn.

It was in 1819, pregnant with her sixth child in ten years, that Hannah contracted tuberculosis. Though she delivered a

Rising through both state and national levels of government, Martin Van Buren, integral to the creation of the Democratic Party, served as attorney general of New York, US senator, governor of New York, secretary of state, ambassador to Great Britain, vice president of the US under his mentor Andrew Jackson and, in 1836, was elected as the eighth president and the first to be born in the US.

healthy son, the strain of the pregnancy only complicated her condition. With Hannah unable to rise from her bed and finding difficulty in the simple act of breathing, her niece was eventually brought in to aid in her care and to help with the children.

Hannah Hoes Van Buren died on February 5, 1819, just shy of her 36th birthday. On her deathbed she asked only that the custom of purchasing scarves for her pallbearers be disregarded and that the money be used instead to aid the poor. In an obituary that appeared in the Albany Argus, simple-yetdignified words were printed in honor of Hannah’s shortened life: “Humility was her crowning grace; she possessed it in rare degree; it took root and flourished full and fair, shedding over every act of her life its general influence. She was an ornament of the Christian faith.”

It is said that the future president would never speak of Hannah again. In fact, though he later wrote an 800-page autobiography, Hannah’s name does not appear on a single page. Lest you think of him as cold or insensitive, such was not the case. It has been offered that the grief borne by Van Buren was simply far too painful. While he carried a locket of her hair, the suffering that she endured became a memory that he could not revisit with others.

Now a widower with four sons, Van Buren went on to build a remarkable career that few have equaled in service to their country.

was originally contemplated as a place for “retreat” during his presidential years, circumstances conspired to limit Van Buren to serving only one term as president. Within three months of his inauguration, the country was plunged into a devastating financial panic as banks and businesses failed. To complicate matters for his administration, the divisive debate over the expansion of slavery that would engulf the nation in the years ahead began to take on increasing momentum.

His refusal to annex Texas, seeing it as an extension of slavery, further cost him politically.

With his loss in the 1840 election to William Henry Harrison, Van Buren returned to Lindenwald. Having expanded his holdings to include a total of 225 acres, Van Buren took up the occupation of

“gentleman farmer” while also plotting unsuccessful attempts to regain the presidency in 1844 and 1848. Van Buren began converting Lindenwald – originally constructed in 1797 as a two-and-a-halfstory Georgian-style home – by removing the original staircase, expanding rooms and hanging the scenic French wallpaper that still greets visitors today.

In 1849, noted architect Richard Upjohn was brought to Kinderhook.

Under Upjohn (whose countless contributions to American architecture include Wall Street’s Trinity Church and, locally, the James and Mary Forsyth home in Kingston and the Church of the Holy Comforter in Poughkeepsie), work began to transform Lindenwald even further. In his renovations Upjohn added a central gable, dormers and a four-story brick

tower. Expanding the home to 36 rooms, Upjohn also added a front porch while the original brick received the yellow coat of paint that is presented today.

The interior, despite the large number of rooms, offers an intimate setting where the president entertained guests (Henry Clay being one of the more notable visitors), worked in his study and enjoyed his ten grandchildren. A number of Lindenwald’s original pieces remain.

Lindenwald boasted one of the earliest forms of central heating in the area, indoor running water, a “flush toilet,” and a 19th-century version of a coffeemaker.

Upstairs includes a number of bedrooms where his sons and their wives would stay, including Angelica Singleton Van Buren who, as Van Buren’s daughter-in-law, had served as the president’s White House hostess in Hannah’s absence.

The upstairs also includes the bedroom of the former president. In the very bed that is there today, Martin Van Buren, suffering from bronchial asthma, died of heart failure on July 24, 1862. Van Buren’s body lay in state at Lindenwald for three

October 29, 2015 days. Following his funeral he was laid to rest a short distance from his treasured Lindenwald in the Kinderhook Reformed Church Cemetery. There, as the visitor can solemnly observe today, he rests next to Hannah, whose body was returned to Kinderhook in 1855 from her original burial site in Albany.

Martin Van Buren had risen from relative obscurity to sit at the pinnacle of power in what was then a relatively new experiment in government. While his presidency is often looked upon as failing in many respects, the man from Kinderhook symbolized the very heart of what many believed the nation should and could be: a place where anyone bearing the desire, passion and honesty required to succeed could do so. Though his life was marred by tragedy, including the death of his beloved Hannah, Van Buren persevered. And, while historians may long argue over the merits of his presidency, Van Buren left us with words that still echo over the years – especially in our era of instant gratification: “The government should not be guided by

and How It Changed America, with two appearances in the region this week. First he’ll be at Oblong Books & Music in Rhinebeck; then it’s up into the very mountains that shape the focus of the book for a talk and signing at the Catskill Mountain Foundation’s Doctorow Center in Hunter.

Co-authored with Raphael Silver, The Catskills is a comprehensive look at the cultural history of the region that contrasts all the various groups of people who have lived and worked here since the arrival of Europeans on the continent. Beginning with Henry Hudson’s first sighting of

the distant blue mountains in 1609, the book goes right up to current events like controversies over hydrofracking and conjecture about what will happen when gambling is legalized.

When asked about his personal connection, Silverman says, “My friend, the movie critic Judith Crist, was one of my professors at Columbia, and she had a house in Woodstock. So I started visiting her in the late ’70s. Then, too, my book editor Vicky Wilson has a house near Callicoon. What always fascinated me was…yes, I’d heard of the Borscht Belt, but didn’t really know where it was. And

I knew there had to be lots more to the Catskills than the Borscht Belt, and sure enough, after a little research…”

Silverman points out how the region was named by the Dutch immigrants – “kill” means “creek” in that language – and the Catskills area was once considered frontier land, the northwesternmost reaches of the City proper. As the desired vacation spot for the wealthy, the hills have long been the locus of sports and leisure activity.

Indeed, these 700,000 acres of forest land preserve spread across five counties –Delaware, Greene, Sullivan, Ulster,

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

Not-so-easy chestnut Beating blight requires genes from two or three continents

T

he chestnuts are big and fat and tasty – obviously not American chestnuts. I harvest so many chestnuts, also big and fat, each year from my Colossal-variety trees that I never bothered to look beneath my Marigoule trees. Marigoule is planted farther from my house than Colossal.

American chestnuts, Castanea dentata, are small but very tasty, or so I have read and heard. I’ve never tasted one. The trees were devastated by a blight throughout the early 20th century. Previous to the blight, the trees were so numerous in our Eastern forests that it was said that a squirrel leaping from one chestnut branch to another could travel from Maine to Georgia without touching the ground.

Something like 40 billion trees died to the ground. But roots survive, sprouting new shoots each year to provide a host to keep the blight fungus alive. Trees might even grow to have trunks a half-foot or more in diameter before the fungus strikes to cut the tree to the ground again.

Various chestnut species inhabit different parts of the world. Most blight-resistant are Chinese chestnut (C. mollisima) and Japanese chestnut (C. crenata), where the blight originated. European chestnut (C. sativa) is susceptible to blight, so has been mated with the Chinese or Japanese species to yield resistant, tasty hybrids. My Colossal and Marigoule trees are hybrids of the European and Japanese species.

But the plot thickens: Colossal, though a hybrid, is only slightly resistant to blight.

My tree, over 15 years old, exhibits no sign yet, but I’m keeping an eye out for telltale orange pustules on its bark, limb dieback and massive resprouting below points of infection. (It was only recently that Colossal was determined to be more susceptible than originally thought.)

Marigoule is quite resistant to blight.

The tree also has an elegant, upright form, more like that of American chestnuts.

So what’s the problem? If blight were eventually to strike Colossal dead, I could just walk a little further and gather Marigoule nuts from the ground – except that any chestnut tree needs crosspollination from another variety in order to bear nuts.

When I planted Colossal and Marigoule, I also planted some other chestnut trees, blight-resistant Chinese chestnuts: a seedling of the varieties Peach and Eaton, the latter of which also has Japanese and American chestnuts in its parentage. All these yield good-tasting nuts (though not nearly as large and easy-to-peel as Colossal and Marigoule), all are blightresistant and any of them could pollinate Marigoule. Problem solved? Not quite.

The plot thickens further: The nuts of Colossal, Marigoule and other Japanese and Japanese-hybrid chestnuts sometimes get a black staining that ruins their quality – not all the nuts, just some of them.

Recent research pins the blame not on yet another disease, but on pollen from Chinese or Chinese-hybrid chestnut trees.

Going forward, I’m keeping a close eye on Colossal. If Colossal gets sick, one option that, so far, has been effective only in Michigan might be to infect the blighted trees with a blight fungus that has been weakened because of infection with a virus. The weakened fungus is less deadly.

Or I could cut down Colossal and Marigoule, and feast only on the Chinese chestnuts and their hybrids. But Colossal and Marigoule are both so productive and produce such large, tasty, easy-to-peel nuts.

I could cut down the Chinese seedlings and hybrids to prevent their pollination and staining of Colossal and Marigoule nuts – except that I’ve recently discovered

The Catskills Continued from page 21 Schoharie – are a magnet and refuge for “poets and gangsters, tycoons and politicians, preachers and outlaws, musicians and rebels.” Silverman describes many such residents who have been influenced by the glorious vistas of waterfalls, pastures and dramatic cliffs, and whose resulting works have, in turn, influenced the social culture of the region.

Lesser-known is the history of development in the Catskills, including the buildup of railroads that made it possible for natural resources to be accessed for America’s Industrial Revolution, and afterwards to empower the nation’s military efforts against Civil War rebels.

Catskills tanneries supplied the boots and saddles for Union troops, for example, and bluestone quarries excavated rock that became the curbs and streets of the fastgrowing Eastern Seaboard.

This is juxtaposed with the less-intrusive push by artists to capture the godlike majesty of the mountains and landscapes: the famed Hudson River School of painting and all creative arts movements that the region spawned afterwards. The book describes how 19th-century America turned away from England for its literary and artistic inspiration, finding it instead in Washington Irving’s Rip Van Winkle set in the Catskills and in James Fenimore Cooper’s adventure/romances. Silverman touches on intriguing tidbits of fact and biographical sketches to highlight just how culturally rich the area continues to be.

“Every page is in color, full of photographs and maps,” says Silverman, unabashedly happy with the way that the book turned out. “From arts and literature to where New York City gets its water

that my Marigoule must have been pollinated by one of my Chinese trees, because Colossal is pollen-sterile.

Marigoule can pollinate Colossal, but not vice versa. So to get nuts on Marigoule without Chinese chestnut pollen, I’d need another Japanese chestnut or hybrid – either a whole new tree or a branch grafted onto either Colossal or Marigoule. The variety Labor Day (also known as J60) yields good nuts and is blight-resistant.

I’ll probably take the “wait and see” option. After all, there’s no sign of blight on any trees; few nuts get staining; and we gather more than enough nuts for roasting and stews.

Shifting from roast chestnuts and

Eerie times in the heavens ...and a near miss by an asteroid named Spooky

H

alloween will be spookier than usual this year. It’s already a dark and sort of creepy time in the heavens, but arriving exactly on Halloween, a giant asteroid named Spooky will come fairly close to clobbering our planet.

To be honest, that’s the name we gave it, at our community observatory SLOOH. The media have already picked it up, so that name has become sort of official. If you go to our site, http://main.slooh.com/ event/tracking-spooky-the-halloweenasteroid, you’ll read all about it. Or else don’t bother and I’ll just give you the dirt here: Its real name is 2015 TB145, and it’s not only massive, with a diameter nearly a half-mile, but extremely fast, with a “closing speed” of 78,000 miles per hour – 35 times faster than a high-velocity rifle bullet.

Despite its large size and the fact that it will fly past the Earth at nearly the same distance as the Moon, Spooky was only discovered on October 10, a mere three weeks before its closest approach.

Spooky will be closest on Halloween, and SLOOH will track it live, using our robotic telescopes in the Canary Islands and our global network of observatory partners.

The show will feature myself, SLOOH chief engineer Paul Cox and some special guests.

I think that this live coverage will attract monstrous numbers of visitors, since we had over three million for our lunar eclipse show a few weeks ago. We will also discuss the dangers of “near-Earth asteroids,” the potential fallout of an asteroid this size impacting the Earth or Moon and will try to understand why it took so long to discover.

This asteroid is probably 32 times the size of the asteroid that injured a thousand people in Chelyabinsk, Siberia on February 15, 2013. If it were to impact us, the energy released would be measured not in kilotons like the Hiroshima atomic bomb, but in H-Bomb-type megatons.

Why else is this an eerie time? Well, this Halloween the Moon doesn’t rise until the

Spooky will be closest on Halloween, and SLOOH will track it live, using its robotic telescopes in the Canary Islands and its global network of observatory partners.

Naturalist-led Joppenbergh Mountain walk hosted by the Wallkill Valley Land Trust this Sunday The Wallkill Valley Land Trust (WVLT) is collaborating with naturalist Tom O’Dowd on a walk on and around Joppenbergh Mountain in Rosendale on Sunday, November 1 from 2 to 3:30 p.m., beginning at Willow Kiln Park. Learn about common and uncommon trees using the beautiful clues that they leave us, including identification through bark, buds, seeds and leaves.

Those interested are asked to bring water, a small notepad, long pants, layers, bug spray (for ticks), a magnifying glass, binoculars and a favorite tree book (if you

action is over – at around 10 p.m. The Sun is setting earlier and earlier and it’s really getting dark. The leaves have dropped away, so barren branches now tremble in the wind. And yes, even that wind is stronger during our cold months.

It’s true: Autumn evokes melancholy autumn myths, thanks to November’s dying plants and diminished food. In our region, we now enter the cloudiest section of the year, further reducing the precious sunlight. Moreover, the season’s long nights epitomized darkness and mystery to primitive civilizations. It gave them an uneasy dread that went beyond their fear of nocturnal predators. Widespread cultures linked night with disaster. Even that word comes from the night sky: “dis” means bad; “aster” means star. Bad star.

In modern times, sky-related hazards are relatively small, but the risk is neither zero, nor is it limited to sensational possibilities such as being clobbered by a meteor. A more interesting hazard is the admittedly remote possibility of a near-enough supernova to zap our planet with lethal gamma rays. Orion’s famous star Betelgeuse – which also rises around 10 p.m. this week – is the nearest true peril. If it “goes supernova,” the resulting radiation would increase earthly cancers and mutations. But at 400 light-years, it’s too distant to wipe us out.

So perhaps forget all this eerie business. Bravely pick a good place to stargaze this dark week, by getting away from lights and sky-obstructing buildings. For a nice open sky, you can’t do much better than…a cemetery.

COURTESY OF SLOOH

Thanks to the Halloween timing of 2015 TB145’s close approach, and the bone chilling nature of the threat it poses to our planet, Slooh named the asteroid “Spooky,” a moniker that has caught on with many in the press. But “Spooky” isn’t the whole story.

DATED: October 29, 2015 Victoria A. Fabella, Clerk Kingston, New York Ulster County Legislature Local Law Number 12 Of 2015 Of Ulster A Local Law Establishing The Ulster County Animal Abuse Registry BE IT ENACTED, by the County Legislature of the County of Ulster, New York, as follows: SECTION 1. LEGISLATIVE INTENT. The Ulster County Legislature (the “Legislature”) hereby finds that animal cruelty is a serious problem, resulting in the abuse and neglect of thousands of animals each year in the United States.

The Legislature also finds that while New York State has criminalized the cruel treatment of animals, animal abuse continues to occur in Ulster County and throughout the state. The Legislature also finds that people who have abused animals in the past are likely to do so in the future and studies show that there is a near 100% recidivism rate for certain types of abuse such as animal hoarding. The Legislature finds that, statistically, individuals who abuse animals are more likely to commit violent acts against humans. The Legislature also finds that a strong correlation has been established linking individuals who abuse animals with incidents of domestic violence.

The Legislature further finds that it is in the best interests of Ulster County residents to establish an animal abuse registry to identify individuals who abuse animals and who, therefore, may be more likely to commit other acts of violence, and to prevent these individuals from adopting, purchasing, or otherwise obtaining animals by adoption, sale, or other means.

Therefore, the purpose of enacting this Local Law is to establish an online registry for individuals who are convicted of animal abuse and neglect crimes.

SECTION 2. DEFINITIONS. As used in this Local Law, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated: “Animal Abuse Crime” shall mean the commission of the following enumerated crimes against an animal:

Animal fighting, as defined in the New York State Agriculture and Markets Law (hereinafter “AML”) § 351; Overdriving, torturing, and injuring animals; failure to provide proper sustenance, as defined in AML § 353; Aggravated cruelty to animals, as defined in AML § 353-a; Electrocution of fur bearing animals, as defined in AML § 353-C; Abandonment of animals, as defined in AML § 355; Failure to provide proper food and drink to an impounded animal, as defined in AML § 356; Poisoning or attempting to poison animals, as defined in AML § 360; Interference with or injury to certain domestic animals, as defined in AML § 361; Clipping or cutting the ears of dogs, as defined in AML § 365; Companion animal stealing, as defined in AML § 366 (3); Removing, seizing or transporting dogs for research purposes, as defined in AML § 366-a; Operating upon tails of horses, in violation of AML § 368; Sexual misconduct with an animal, as defined

“Convicted of ” shall mean an adjudication of guilty by any court of competent jurisdiction, whether upon a verdict of guilty or a plea of guilty.

“Ulster County Animal Abuse Registry” shall mean the on-line registry established by this Local Law for registering any person living in Ulster County convicted of an Animal Abuse Crime.

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) 282-2018 or email DRJLPK@AOL.COM.

FIRST TIME IN A CENTURY! Across from a babbling brook, perched on a hill, is a wonderful Phoenicia farmhouse, on 1 acre of land and owned by one family for 100 years, now on the market for the first time, overlooking a meadow and a mountain view, with access to â&#x20AC;&#x153;forever wildâ&#x20AC;? State Land. Red Oak Floors are through-out the house.

Original staircase leads to 4 sunny bedrooms and a full bath with a Jacuzzi. There is also a first floor full bath and many upgrades and modern renovations.

I honestly think that if our Manager Mitch could do it, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d dress up in a Halloween costume every day.

He loves this holiday, and maybe, just maybe, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what this freakish, bizarre holiday is all about: To remind us to be adventurous, bold, daringâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and not get trapped in the everyday routine of our â&#x20AC;&#x153;normalâ&#x20AC;? identity. His sense of humor is often a little oblique, but funny and ironic.

For instance today he told me he was going to write â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lifeâ&#x20AC;? on a plain white T-shirt and hand out lemons to strangers. It took me a minute to get it. The he asked if I knew what a vampireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite ice cream flavor was, and before I could even answer he blurted out, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Veinilla!â&#x20AC;? Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bit odd but really good at his job!
