ALMANAC WEEKLY pledge of fidelity before parting for an extended time, usually because the man is going off to sea or to war. One at least of the rings is magical: If the gold tarnishes or the stone turns dull or cracks in half, that’s a sure sign to the wearer that the other partner has either been unfaithful or died.

This motif associating sex and jewelry recurs in folklore all over the world. Why the connection? Renowned religious scholar Wendy Doniger will explore the roots and branches of this symbolism in a

talk next Monday at Vassar College, titled “The Mythology of Women and Their Jewelry.” The Religion Department’s 2015 Frederic C. Wood Lecture begins at 5:30 p.m. on November 9 in Rockefeller Hall, Room 300, and admission is free.

“In ancient stories about rings, men accuse women of unchastity, only to have the ring prove that it was the man, in fact, who was unchaste; the ring also validates the woman’s child as the true heir. In modern stories about necklaces, real jewelry proves that the woman was

false,” says the press release for the lecture.

According to Doniger, the Mircea Eliade Distinguished Service professor of the History of Religions at the University of Chicago and author of numerous books on aspects of Hinduism, “these stories show how widespread the desire is to project the responsibility for sexual betrayal onto an external force like a gold ring or a diamond necklace.”

Also coming up next week on the Vassar campus, on Thursday evening, November 12, two leaders of the Bolivian indigenous feminist movement known as Mujeres Creando Comunidád, Julieta Paredes and Adriana Guzmán, will discuss anticolonial feminism in Bolivia and beyond.

Paredes and Guzmán are the co-authors of the book El Tejido de la Rebelida, which delineates their theoretical vision. Their talk, “Communitarian Feminism and the Decolonization of Feminism,” begins at 5:30 p.m. in the College Center’s secondfloor Multi-Purpose Room (also accessible from the Main Building).

Sponsored by the Latin American and Latino/a Studies Program with cosponsorship from the Office of Dean of Faculty, the Programs in American Studies and Women’s Studies, and the Departments of Sociology, Hispanic Studies and Anthropology, this event is also free and open to the public. For more info about both events, visit www. vassar.edu. Vassar College is located at 124 Raymond Avenue in Poughkeepsie.

TSL IN HUDSON SCREENS NEW LAURIE ANDERSON FILM, RESTORED MY FAIR LADY

C

ould one get as disparate as Laurie Anderson and Eliza Doolittle?

The two get presented back-to-back in special screenings at Hudson’s TSL Warehouse this weekend: Anderson with screenings of her new film, Heart of a Dog, and Doolittle via the effervescence of the great musical My Fair Lady.

Heart of a Dog is Anderson, the avant-garde musician and performance artist, diving into worlds of storytelling, memoir and the Buddhist concept of the afterlife (the bardo) via animation, home movies and looplike images, complemented by Anderson’s signature music and sonorous, near-hypnotic voice. It’s dedicated to her late husband, Lou Reed.

My Fair Lady, newly restored, stars Audrey Hepburn as the Cockney flower girl made lady and Rex Harrison as the cultured, smart-as-a-whip and ultimately silly Henry Higgins, who elevates his find on a bet. It’s chock-full of great music, and classic Hollywood at its apotheosis.

Surrender: Winston Churchill and Britain’s Decision to Fight Nazi Germany in the Fateful Summer of 1940 at Rhinebeck’s Oblong Books on Wednesday, Veterans’ Day. One prime minister resigned and another was appointed in a rare backroom deal demanded by the advances that Hitler was making across Europe. The mood of the nation was to reach a peace with Germany. But the new PM, Winston

Churchill, said no.

He said no in three speeches remembered to this day for such phrases as “blood, toil, tears and sweat”, “their finest hour” and that referenced in Kelly’s book title, “never surrender.” And in doing so, he pledged a near-impossible resistance.

Kelly, a historian who splits time between the Berkshires and New York City, draws together all that was happening

The Town of Saugerties has many fine features that make it special, but arguably only one thing that makes it truly unique: It’s the home of one the world’s most impressive examples of what is now known as Land Art or Earthwork Art, the 6.5-acre bluestone wonder Opus 40.

Sculptor Harvey Fite’s masterpiece, 37 years in the making, predates the 1970s Land Art movement of which Robert Smithson is the most famous exemplar, but it is regarded as a forerunner and seminal inspiration to that movement.

And it’s an amazing place to spend a day, wandering its spiral ramps, delving into its cool crannies and marveling at both

Leaving the house can be a wild ride...

its spectacular beauty and its mindbogglingly ambitious hand-hewn-andassembled engineering.

Fite began work on Opus 40 in 1939, a year before author Tad Richards was born and four years before Richards’ mother, Barbara Fairbanks, married the sculptor.

So Richards grew up on the site along with the artwork, and today he remains its primary steward, living with his wife, Pat Manocha Richards, in the house that his stepfather built by hand overlooking the bluestone quarry. He also serves as board president of the not-for-profit that maintains and administers the site, which is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Nobody living knows the place better.

Tad Richards will give a free talk this Saturday on “Opus 40: The First 20 Years,” sponsored by the Friends of Historic Saugerties. The lecture begins at 2 p.m. on November 7, in the Community Room of the Saugerties Public Library, located at 91 Washington Avenue in Saugerties.

Telling Tales Bard’s Fisher Center hosts Neil Gaiman in Conversation with Armistead Maupin

hen celebrated fantasy author, recent Hudson Valley transplant and Bard College professor Neil Gaiman interviewed Laurie Anderson onstage at the Fisher Center last spring, the legendary avantgarde musician was surprisingly subdued and taciturn, deflecting many of his questions back onto himself. Gaiman

likely won’t encounter a similar conundrum with the fourth subject in his semiannual “Conversations” series at Bard this Saturday evening. His chat partner this time will be someone nearly as renowned an off-the-cuff raconteur as he is a consummate storyteller on the printed page: Armistead Maupin, chronicler of San Francisco’s culture and myriad countercultures in the years before, dur-

its empathetic depiction of gay and transgendered protagonists, drawn to a freethinking city that embraced all manner of folks who felt that they didn’t fit in elsewhere in post-Vietnam War America.

For all their cutting-edge sexual politics and their completist checking-off of all the sociological and pop-cultural touchstones of that heady era, Tales of the City are really about San Francisco as a Petri dish of humanity in all its diverse glory, transcending time and place through their emphasis on the importance of real connection among imperfect-but-lovable individuals. Millions have taken these stories to their hearts – actress Laura Linney, who played Mary Ann in a 1990s PBS miniseries based on the first three books, actually named her son Armistead after the author – and critics frequently compare Maupin’s quirkily populated San Francisco to Dickens’ equally vivid and colorful Victorian-era London.

In Charles Dickens’ day, of course, it was not unusual for a novelist to release a work in serial form in a periodical, so it’s no big surprise that he’s one of Maupin’s authorial role models, along with Christopher Isherwood. Both names are on the list of probable topics to be raised in his interview with Gaiman onstage at the Fisher Center; but based on previous installments, this conversation will be freewheeling, touching on topics that may well range anywhere from Maupin’s improbable youthful friendship with Jesse Helms to Gaiman’s embarkation on a second family. (Anthony, his son with his wife, performance artist Amanda Palmer, was born in September.)

NEWvember Tivoli’s Tangent Theatre to present rehearsed readings of this year’s new play contest winners at the Carpenter Shop Theatre this weekend

F

or five years now, Tivoli’s Tangent Theatre Company, along with its partner across the Atlantic, AboutFACE Ireland, has sponsored a blind-submission competition for recent original stageworks, called the NEWvember New Plays Festival. It’s back this 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 50-seat 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. To order or for more details, call (845) 230-7020 or visit www.tangent-arts.org or http://newvemberfestival. com.

Petrifying poesy Anne Waldman, Ed Sanders, Michael Brownstein & Peter Lamborn Wilson to read at the Kleinert in Woodstock Asking people what scares them most is a popular activity on social media around Halloween-time. Spiders and clowns seem to top most lists, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve yet to see one that mentions poets.

that.

Another, Michael Brownstein, has written a booklength poem about corporate globalization and consciousness change titled World on Fire. The fourth, Anne Waldman, is one of those Ăźber-scary feminist intellectuals who advocate socially disruptive practices like civil disobedience.

Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics at the Naropa Institute.

Besides being associated with the generation of poets known as the New York School who carried on the tradition of the Beats whilst busting great gaping holes in its male-chauvinist veneer, the four who will be reading at the Kleinert next week all have CVs loaded with political activism, especially with regard to environmental threats. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not to mention interests in dodgy Eastern mystical traditions like Zen Buddhism, illegal psychoactive substances and unconventional forms and uses of poetry.

Woodstockers should clearly be trembling in their boots at their impending arrival.

No wonder the actual title of the event is â&#x20AC;&#x153;These Poets Frighten Me.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Vladimir V. Putin.

As if that werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough to put us on our guard, the wicked satirist Mikhail Horowitz will be emceeing the eveningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proceedings. And admission is free, presumably to lure the penniless and the unwary into this den of iniquity. Are you terrified yet?

Prove your mettle and come out to meet these monsters of the metrical, these versifying subversives. The readings get underway at 7 p.m. Friday, November 13 at the Kleinert/James Center for the Arts, located at 36 Tinker Street in Woodstock.

Torches and pitchforks optional. For more info, visit www.goldennotebook.com/ event/these-poets-frighten-me-vladimirv-putin-four-poets-kleinertjames. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Frances Marion Platt

One-man play on Clarence Darrow in Rhinecliff Clarence Darrow may still be the most famous of lawyers, besting the Bill Kunstlers, Johnny Cochranes and F. Lee Baileys some 108 years after his birth. He has been immortalized in such films as Inherit the Wind and Compulsion, along with plays and whole shelves of books.

Darrow pushed into the public eye the concept that morality wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t so much a conscious choice between right and wrong, but a reckoning of the psychological, physical and environmental

influences that affect human behavior.

He argued that emotion is necessary for the decisions that people make; he defended the rights of science over faith; he was our first declared agnostic.

David Rintelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one-man play on Darrow follows the man at various stages of his career, from an 1890s Chicago apartment during his years as a labor lawyer, in his 1920s law office when he was the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top criminal defense attorney and later in a courtroom, Darrow reminiscing about his life, loves and legal victories and defeats and the intellectual and moral issues involved.

It plays at the Morton Memorial Library in Rhinecliff as a benefit for the Rhinebeck Grange this weekend. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Paul Smart Clarence Darrow: One Man Play, Friday/Saturday, November 6/7, 8 p.m., Sunday, November 8, 2 p.m., $15, Morton Memorial Library & Community House, 82 Kelly Street, Rhinecliff; (845) 876-2903, www.morton.rhinecliff. lib.ny.us.

Brevity, thy name is levity On Saturday, November 14 at 8 p.m., “Eats Shorts and Leaves,” an evening of new short plays by Actors and Writers, makes its debut at the Unison Arts & Learning Center in New Paltz.

Curated by A & W member and veteran Unison performer Mikhail Horowitz, this production left them laughing at Woodstock’s Maverick Hall in July, with works by Horowitz, Carol Zaloom and company members Katherine Burger, Mary Gallagher, Adam LeFevre, Nicole Quinn, Laura Shaine, Nina Shengold, David Smilow and Mark St. Germain.

In addition to Burger, Gallagher, Horowitz, LeFevre, Quinn and Smilow, performers for this evening include Dannah Chaifetz, Sarah Chodoff, Davis Hall, Brian Popovics and Shelley Wyant. Some of the scenarios that you’ll encounter will be the ordeal of four guys in a bar who are sincerely trying not to talk about sports; a mother and two daughters discovering a few family secrets while eulogizing a dead parrot; and a doomed (duh!) production of Macbeth.

This will be the second program presented by Actors and Writers since taking up residence as Unison’s theatrical troupe. The suggested donation is $10.

Unison is located at 68 Mountain Rest Road in New Paltz. For reservations and more information, call (845) 255-1559 or check out www.unisonarts.org.

Star-studded Kaatsbaan Gala

Seems like only yesterday that the Kaatsbaan International Dance Center was the new kid on the mid-Hudson cultural scene. But the former farmstead in Tivoli has since become an anchor institution with a worldclass reputation, and is now celebrating its 25th anniversary!

Fittingly, Kaatsbaan’s annual Gala, coming on Saturday, November 14, will boast a stellar lineup of performers. Actress Mary Stuart Masterson and American Ballet Theatre (ABT) director Kevin McKenzie will serve as hosts, and ABT dancers will supply much of the evening’s

entertainment: Stella Abrera and Sterling Baca will perform the “White Swan Pas de Deux” and Gillian Murphy (above) and Thomas Forster the “Black Swan Pas de Deux,” both from Tchaikovsky’s classic Swan Lake. In addition, the ABT Studio Company will present the world premiere of a new dance piece choreographed by George Williamson.

Other big-name entities from the world of dance will be represented as well: Teresa Reichlen and Ask La Cour of the New York City Ballet will perform Balanchine’s Agon. And the Martha Graham Dance Company’s Miki Orihara will perform Graham’s 1932 solo Satyric Festival Song.

The festivities begin with a 4 p.m. reception, followed by the all-star Gala performance showcase at 5:30. An elegant dinner will be served at 7 p.m., with dancing of the ballroom sort and a silent auction to follow. The dress code for the evening is “swanky and elegant festive attire.”

Ticket prices are $200 per person; $290 if you need chartered bus transportation from New York City. They’re on sale now at (845) 757-5106, extension 2, or dial extension 10 for additional info.

P

remiered at Josias Priest’s London girls’ school in the late 17th century, Henry Purcell’s beloved tragic opera Dido and Aeneas is, some say, cruder and simpler than the great British Baroque composer’s typical work because it was intended for performance by children. Even so, Purcell and Nahum Tate’s retelling of Book IV of the Aeneid in which Virgil’s hero loves and leaves Dido, the queen of Carthage, has proven enduringly popu-

lar, and has yielded a timeless hit single in the power-ballad aria “Thy Hand Belinda…when I am laid in earth,” commonly known as “Dido’s Lament.”

While Purcell and Tate drew from the mythic well springs of the Western canon, they were playing at topical allegory as well, with the subtlety required of anyone who would keep his head in that turbulent political climate.

Dido and Aeneas is often thought to parallel and illuminate the political and religious unrest and antagonism of late17th-century England and the overthrow of the Catholic monarch James II by his protestant daughter Mary and son-inlaw William of Orange. In this allegorical interpretation, the opera’s witches and sorceresses represent the seductions of Catholicism, and Dido the betrayed British people.

It sounds simple enough on the surface,

but it almost certainly isn’t. When the Vassar College Music Department presents Dido and Aeneas on Saturday, November 7 at 8 p.m. in Skinner Hall, the performance will be preceded at 7 p.m. by an illuminating companion lecture by early music experts Frans and Julie Muller. Both events are free and open to the public.

The Mullers’ authority on the work is multidisciplinary.

Julie Muller taught English and American Literature at the University of Amsterdam.

She has written extensively in Dutch and English on English song texts from the Renaissance to the present. Frans Muller is a retired interior architect and set designer. For more than 30 years his focus has been on historical theater and theater design research, with his main interest being in 17th-century English opera. Both have written about Baroque theater.

Known for a distinctive and perioddefining blend of ska, reggae, punk, surf-rock and hip-hop, Sublime arose out of Long Beach, California to dominate the modern rock airwaves for years with a scant few singles. Lead singer Bradley Nowell passed away in 1996, shortly after the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s megaplatinum major-label debut.

In 2010, founding member Eric Wilson joined forces with musician and singer Rome Ramirez to form Sublime with Rome. They brought Sublimeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s material back on tour in 2010 and also hit the studio to record their debut album, Yours Truly, with guitarist Paul Leery of the Butthole Surfers, who also produced Sublimeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third and final album. Yours Truly yielded the hit singles â&#x20AC;&#x153;Panicâ&#x20AC;? (which climbed to No. 4 on Billboardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Alternative Songs chart), â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lovers Rockâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Take It or Leave Itâ&#x20AC;?: music reminiscent of the ska-punk glory days when bands like Fishbone, No Doubt, Reel Big Fish and the Mighty Mighty Bosstones ruled the airwaves. The band released their new album Sirens in 2015.

CONCERT

Tell me something good Chaka Khan, ten-time Grammy winner, autism advocate and Joni Mitchell fan, to perform at UPAC in Kingston this Sunday

C

haka Khan was the soundtrack for life back in my vinyl days. I can still conjure up the feel of the soft cardboard patina of my Ask Rufus and Rufus album covers. My friends and I knew all the words to “Once You Get Started,” “I’m Every Woman,” “Tell Me Something Good,” “Sweet Thing,” “Ain’t Nobody” and countless other tunes that she sang. She lived on our turntables, on our lips, on the jukebox and in the soundbooths of the deejays who played all the best music at the local hot spots that we frequented. We danced to her funky music all the time.

All. The. Time.

Chaka Khan has lived inside my head for decades, offering motivation when called for, sassy attitude when all else failed and the funky, soulful kick in the pants required when love or life hasn’t turned out the way that I’d like it to. In some ways, she stayed frozen in time for me. But once I got started digging into what she’s been up to, it soon became clear that she has stayed in constant motion.

Since her big breakthrough at the CHAKA KHAN’S ABILITY tender age of 18 as the lead singer for to sing R & B, jazz, pop, rock, the 1970s multiracial band Ask Rufus gospel, country, classical and dance (later shortened to simply Rufus), music has earned her 11 RIAA-certified Chaka Khan has released 22 albums gold and platinum albums, a star and amassed ten No. 1 Billboard hits, on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, an eight Recording Industry Association honorary Doctorate of Music from the of America (RIAA)-certified gold prestigious Berklee School of Music and singles and 11 RIAA-certified gold lifetime achievement awards from Soul and platinum albums. Nominated Train, BET and the Apollo Theatre 22 times for Grammy Awards, she has won ten. And, with the ability to sing R & B, jazz, pop, rock, gospel, country, classical and dance music, she has produced more than 2,000 catalogue song placements. She has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, an honorary Doctorate of Music from the prestigious Berklee School of Music and has received lifetime achievement awards from Soul Train, BET, the Apollo Theatre and many others.

Two years ago, a documentary series, Being, premiered to mark her 40th anniversary as an entertainer and musician. I asked her, “Looking back on your younger self, are you surprised at where you are, now that you’re 62?” “I have no regrets,” she said. “If I hadn’t had all the experiences I’ve had, I wouldn’t be the amazing human being that I am today. I’m good. I’m thankful to still be relevant. I’m in a state of grace.”

Since she’s a devout Christian, her use of that phrase is a nod to more than just the innate talent, hard work and perseverance that have served her so well. And later, she didn’t miss a chance to say that she does an hour of Bible study every day.

But her music – the music that earned her the title of “the Queen of Funk” – has a decidedly secular tone.

The music business is not an easy path, and when Khan was coming up, she got good advice from Etta James and Aretha Franklin, among others. Whenever she gets the chance to speak with younger women who want a career in music, she tells them, “It’s tough, it isn’t easy. But if you were born to do this and you have the chops, you’ll do whatever it takes. And, I tell them, ‘Do what I did: Stay true to what you’re doing.’ I’d like to see them take a course in business, so they can really do their own thing without help. That’s the key.”

“And yes, I learned the hard way, but I’m glad I did,” she said. “Learning the hard way means more. There’s no better way to learn if you survive that. If it doesn’t cure you, it will make you strong.”

Her dedication to improve the quality of life, particularly for children with autism, spawned the Chaka Khan Foundation, where she also puts a focus on educational initiatives for college students and community work. “I’m really tied into quite a few charities, but my work with autism started because of my nephew. We didn’t know what to do at the onset, and there was misdiagnosis and mistreatment. We did a lot of footwork and investigation about this malady, and shared our journey with a lot of people in the same plight.”

“I’m not as hands-on as I’d like to be these days, but I do give a percentage of every check to autism. And I have a new single, ‘I’m in Love with Myself,’ that’s coming out the first of the year. It’s geared toward body image and bullying, and is produced

by B. Slade.” The producer, formerly known in the gospel-music world as Tonéx, is, like Chaka Khan, an artist who is conversant in many musical genres.

There’s an organization for people like us – and it’s not a 12-step program intended to wean us onto more contemporary pop-music forms, either.

It’s called the Folk Music Society of New York, a/k/a the New York Pinewoods Folk Music Club. And three times each year, it organizes a weekend gathering at the Hudson Valley Resort & Spa in Kerhonkson, where moldy oldies like us (and even enthusiastic young recruits) can crawl out of the woodwork and indulge ourselves in the authentic sounds that we love best, surrounded by like-minded comrades. The 2015 Fall Folk Music Weekend begins at 5 p.m. this Friday,

November 6 and continues until 1:30 p.m. on Sunday, November 8.

Headlining this three-day total immersion in folk, roots and Americana music will be country blues/old-timey folk maven Spider John Koerner, still renowned for his classic recordings with the trio Koerner, Ray and Glover back in the ‘60s and ‘70s. British expat John Roberts will bring along his concertina and his voluminous repertoire of ancient ballads, raunchy pub songs and comic turns from the English Music Hall tradition. If attendees are lucky, maybe he’ll celebrate Halloween a little late with a rollicking rendition of “With Her Head

Chaka Khan

She chronicled her career and her life in an autobiography – Through the Fire (Rodale Books, 2003) – and it’s currently being updated for rerelease and adapted into a screenplay. She has also pursued an entrepreneurial path, launching lines of gourmet chocolates and a fragrance line for men, women and the home.

But back to the music: If any Joni Mitchell fans are reading, Khan reports that her good friend is “doing better and better every day, though it’s very slow progress.

I’m working on a tribute CD. It’s something I’ve wanted to do for a long time, and it was time to get it out of my heart and off my chest.” An English label approached Khan, and she has since been in the studio, working on it between gigs for the past six months. “I’m doing unplugged, slowed-down, funky renditions. The young kids especially need to hear her lyrics, and my philosophy is that they work for everybody.

I’m doing my favorite Joni Mitchell songs – not necessarily the ones others might choose; she has such a wealth of material – songs like ‘Cold Blue Steel and Sweet Fire’ and ‘Hejira.’”

Khan wouldn’t single out her proudest accomplishment, saying there were “thousands of them,” but she did mention how much she enjoyed working with many of the jazz masters to whom she listened while growing up in Chicago: “Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, Joe Henderson, Chick Corea, Quincy Jones…they’ve produced some of the greatest music on the planet. I’m always gonna be jazzy, but I like all types of music. I don’t even know what to call what I do. I’m looking more forward than backward these days.”

And, the mother of two says, her greatest joy is her four grandchildren: “I see them often and am totally in touch with them.” She confesses that when she’s not working, “I’m a great sleeper! I get in my muumuu and take it down. I watch old movies on TCM.” But don’t expect her show at the Ulster Performing Arts Center in Kingston this Sunday night to be laid-back. “There’ll be songs for everybody, from back in the day to new songs. I bring an eight-piece band with me: three singers and five musicians.

I put on a damn good show!”

I believe it. I think that once she gets started, ooh, it’s hard to stop, and that what she’s got to give will sure ‘nuff do you good…

ALMANAC WEEKLY

a suburb of Chicago. Her fascination with writing only increased with time.

In high school, she drew inspiration for the posters that she would create by two contemporary giants of the day, Corita Kent and Ben Shahn. Then it was off to the University of Michigan for a year, then a year in Europe, then back to college, this time at Antioch.

Her wanderings and inquiries and practices and discoveries of great teachers finally culminated in the great artistic stew that bubbled up in the Bay Area in the early ’70s. Calligraphy, bookbinding, letterpress: There was an explosion of interest in those practices then. Bash found herself immersed in an atmosphere where she said yes to every artistic or professional inquiry, “whether I knew how to do it or not.”

She specced type, did layouts of every description. She once agreed to “personalize” a set of 100 wine labels and said yes again when she found out that the labels had already been glued to the bottles.

Bash’s calligraphic works had long been part of what she now calls her “precision phase”: works that echoed the painstaking, tightly controlled forms practiced by anonymous Japanese and medieval monks, of Islamic artists. And for a while, that was enough.

But by the late 1970s, this socially conscious Methodist daughter of the Midwest went inland, physically and metaphorically, to the Naropa Institute in Boulder, Colorado. It was there that she met her most influential teacher: Chogyam Trungpa, the preeminent teacher and interpreter of Tibetan Buddhism in the US. It was at Naropa that she learned that her lifelong practice of precise, Western-style calligraphy was not inimical to the looser, flowing approach of the large brushstrokes favored by the Buddhist tradition. “I learned a person always starts from their own tradition.

That was a confirmation for me…. I discovered my path was to take Western letters and enliven them with Asian principles.”

Bash has been enlivening whatever she turns her attention to ever since then.

She’s the author and illustrator of six children’s books that explore the natural world, and she has illustrated four other similarly themed books written by others.

Her most notable and courageous book was written for adults: True Nature: An Illustrated Journal of Four Seasons in Solitude. Anyone who has ever spent time alone in a cabin, in an unfamiliar place, meditating without distraction, knows why the book took courage to produce and why it resonate with readers. Those solitary days allowed her to observe and record the pleasures of the natural world, though not exclusively as an observer. She was a participant on that journey, having to face down primal fears of traveling into

darknesses real and imagined.

In the same adventurous way that she traveled to unknown and unsuspected places in that book, she talks today about “working the edge” in her approach to calligraphy, of seeking a balance between what the Westernized calligraphy pen and her Asian “big-brush” work allow.

In working, literally, in broad strokes, Bash said that she draws on the Buddhist principles of heaven, Earth and human in the making of a brushstroke: the experience of space, the ground and the human experience.

“Calligraphy is essentially about moving through space and leaving a trace behind,” she has written. The brush, which for her can be the size of a mop, is the most sensitive of calligraphic tools, able to respond to the subtlest gesture.

Bash will be demonstrating, performing and teaching what her life’s journey has taught at the Unison Arts Center in November: a calligraphic performance to the music of Steve Gorn, Harvey Sorgen and David Lopato, a gallery opening titled “The Moving Line: Calligraphic Expression” and a three-hour workshop titled “Brush Spirit.” Teaching and performance opportunities such as these, she said, allow her, an artist who by necessity works in isolation, to participate on a larger, more encompassing canvas that includes others. She is constantly creating calligraphic communities, if you will.

Bash said that, for all her experience as an artist, she has never lost what she calls a sense of “positive panic” while standing at the edge of a new effort. But once begun, fears evaporate “in the doing of it.” It’s an experience that Bash is eager to share with whoever recognizes the need to do, and could use some company on their journey.

Bash will give a calligraphic performance to the music of Steve Gorn, Harvey Sorgen and David Lopato on Saturday, November 7 at 8 p.m. A gallery opening featuring her artwork – “The Moving Line: Calligraphic Expression” – follows on Sunday, November 8 from 4-6 p.m. and will be on display until December 6. Finally, Bash will conduct a three-hour workshop titled “Brush Spirit” on November 21 from 1-4 p.m.

Advance tickets for this Saturday’s concert cost $18 for members, $22 for non-members. At the door, tickets cost $20 for members, $24 for non-members.

Student tickets go for half-price with a valid ID. The November 21 “Brush Spirit” workshop costs $23 for members and $25 for non-members. The gallery opening on November 8 is free and open to the public. Visit www.unisonarts.org or call (845) 255-1559 for more information/ tickets.

arbara Bash has always known that she loved the experience of writing. Even before she could read, before she’d ever attended school, she knew.

Her mother had rescued and brought home a bedraggled book from a rummage sale and given it to her daughter. “I remember very vividly writing in the margins my own illegible script.”

To anyone else’s eye, Bash had done little

more than scribble in the margins. But to the only eyes that mattered, the grey/blue eyes of the girl who grew up to become one of the country’s most accomplished calligraphic artists, those scribblings told her a truth that she has never forgotten: The forms that writing takes – the letters that are the ineluctable bones of every writer’s words and stories – provided her a portal and then a path through her life.

MOVIE

Jessica Chastain and Tom Hiddleston in Crimson Peak

Family skeletons Del Toroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Crimson Peak is pretty, preposterous & not very scary

D

espite being decidedly much more interested in the European Pagan folkloric roots of Samhain than in the contemporary emphasis on Halloween as a time to scare and be scared, this year I opted to go slumming, join the popculture throng and catch a horror movie for Fright Night. Heavily influencing this unusual decision was the availability of the latest movie by one of the modern masters of creepy crepuscular design, Guillermo del Toro. His new opus, Crimson Peak, looked good in previews and was touted as the directorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hommage to classic Gothic haunted-manse flicks of decades long gone, so I bit at the bait.

Wrong move, mostly. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not a huge fan of horror movies to begin with, but when I do go see one, I prefer atmospheric psychological horror set in times before chainsaws were invented. Then, I figure, at least thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good chance that the art direction will enrapture the eye even if the story fails to engage the mind.

And indeed, on the visual opulence front, Crimson Peak delivers in spades.

Sets, props, costumes, CGI effects and cinematography are all that one could wish, rendered in peerlessly vivid del Toro style, embellished for iron-stomached modern audiences by the application of copious quantities of gore.

Part of my problem with most horror movies is that they rarely manage to scare

me. Even ones that are widely considered iconically terrifying, like The Exorcist, tend to make me giggle or be grossed out rather than fearful. Certainly the line of catharsis between horror and macabre humor has always been a vague one, and the movie industry in recent decades has exploited that blurry middle ground with a spate of offerings like Evil Dead II, Shaun of the Dead and Cabin in the Woods in which the something-jumps-out-at-you moments are meant to make the audience laugh rather than scream.

Such horror spoofs are usually easy to peg right away by their camped-up acting and over-the-top narrative absurdities, however. Crimson Peak isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t trying to be that sort of movie. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a serious, straightahead Gothic, with an A-list cast who are giving their all to stay in character, with no mugging or winking. But I ended up laughing out loud anyway, in many places where I clearly wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t supposed to, at lines that just seem too, tooâ&#x20AC;Śfraught, I suppose is the word. The script is brimming with melodrama, delivered sans postmodern irony, and some of the Big Reveals (of twists that you saw coming a couple of reels ago) just seem more like laugh lines.

Sorry, Guillermo. I know that you tried your best.

UPCOMING FILMS: THE PROPHET, PAWN SACRIFICE, SHEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S THE BEST THING IN IT, BEST OF ENEMIES, THE MARTIAN, GOOSEBUMPS, THE WALK

solidly feisty heroine in Edith Cushing (Mia Wasikowska), the daughter of a wealthy Buffalo industrialist in 1901 who has a knack for seeing ghosts and more ambition to write novels than to find an appropriate husband. But sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s swept off her feet by Sir Thomas Sharpe (Tom Hiddleston), a pallid, intense, penniless British aristocrat who comes to America seeking investors in his inventions. Sir Thomas has a cold, creepy, too-close sister named Lucille (Jessica Chastain), and the siblings are up to something shady. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not terribly hard to figure out what.

Shortly after declining to finance Sharpeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plans to build a full-scale steam-powered excavating machine for mining the garishly red clay that underlies Allerdale Hall, the absurdly dilapidated family estate, Edithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father (Jim Beaver) is murdered most foully and violently; but somehow his smashed-in skull passes for an accidental death. While still in mourning, Edith scarpers off to England with the ardent Sir Thomas, leaving his previous fiancĂŠe in the lurch. Lucille is manifestly not happy to bid her welcome; nevertheless, she keeps pouring Edith red-flag-studded cups of hot tea. The houseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s many ghosts, meanwhile, pop up with regularity, more to warn the new

houseguest than to threaten her â&#x20AC;&#x201C; though they do look gloriously creepy, resembling either fire-blackened skeletons or red flayed corpses, depending on how recent their demise.

Wasikowska spends an inordinate amount of time wandering Allerdale Hall late at night in the requisite floaty nightgown and bearing the requisite candelabra, seeking clues to the houseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dark secrets. Though she looks the part of the fainting turn-of-the-century heroine in need of manly rescue, Edith is instead smart and brave and resourceful, and figures out most of whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on long before her faithful suitor back home (Charlie Hunnam) manages to sniff out the Sharpesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; damning paper trail.

The other appealing thing about Crimson Peak, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a fan of Steampunk-style home dĂŠcor and early Industrial Age contraptions, is Sir Thomasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; workshop full of automatons and other clockwork inventions, along with his mining machinery.

in the moment; you have to imagine what’s out there, too.”

About a year after she began this series, Sutherland was diagnosed with cancer.

“It was one of those moments when you do a very positive reevaluation of where you’ve been and where you’re going,” she says. The paintings reflect her experience of life after going through major surgery.

“And for two years now, ‘looking forward’ is how I’ve been approaching life. I look where I’m going.”

This is not to be “Pollyanna” about it, she adds; it’s just a reflection of a very positive attitude that she has always had about life. “This is where we’re going; let’s deal with it,” has always been her way, she

M

ost people think Fran Sutherland is a landscape painter. But while the natural world is always at the heart of her work – even her most abstract images – she considers herself to be an experiential painter. “I have never painted a place I haven’t gone beyond seeing,” she says. “It’s always been a place where I experienced it. A place that I walked in, around, through...if you look at my paintings, they’re all like that. It’s like a journal of my life.”

Sutherland has lived in the Hudson Valley since 1958. She resides half the year in Port Ewen, overlooking the Hudson River, near her family, and the other half by the Santa Rita Mountains

in Arizona. Her artwork is informed by her life on both sides of the country, but she also travels a great deal, all over the world. The places that have inspired her include Ecuador, Mexico, Italy, Greece, Peru, China and Japan. And that Asian aesthetic has influenced her strongly; her Master of Science degree in Education from SUNY-New Paltz in 1967 had a concentration in Eastern arts and her work since often synthesizes elements of Asian painting with a Western approach.

The Storefront Gallery in Kingston’s Rondout District will exhibit a selection of paintings from Fran Sutherland’s most recent series inspired by nature in “Looking Forward,” on display from November 7 to 21. An opening reception will be held on Saturday, November 7 from 5 to 8 p.m. The gallery is open by appointment or 24/7 through the storefront windows.

The works on view are hung in pairs in an Asian-styled, vertical composition that reads very “scroll-like,” as Sutherland puts it. The two paintings are presented and suspended as one work of art. “I try to get you to have the same physical experience I had when I painted what I saw,” she says.

“The upper painting of the set is usually what I see when I look consciously where I’m going: ‘looking forward.’ The second painting is what I see below, at my feet where I’m grounded or where I’m about to place my oar in the water.”

But “Looking Forward” has a dual

meaning. The interplay between the two images, grounded in the moment in the lower view and looking forward to what lies ahead in the upper painting,

symbolizes something deeper than just recreating a physical experience. “We’re all trying to stay grounded,” Sutherland says, “but you can’t just be where you are

says. Fortunate that a tumor in her lung was caught early and the cancer did not spread, Sutherland is now cancer-free and an advocate of early diagnosis. “I can’t say enough about the superlative treatment I received at the Dyson Center for Cancer Care at Vassar Hospital in Poughkeepsie,” she said.

The show at the Storefront Gallery will include the first work done in the series two years ago – at Parker Lake on the border of Arizona and Mexico – along with more recent works inspired by the Hudson Valley and her travels. The titles of the paintings on exhibit are all plays on words and give clues to their deeper meanings, Sutherland says. “For me, painting is a form of meditation. And because of my appreciation of Eastern philosophy and aesthetics, I also realize how insignificant I am in the big picture.”

The works are done in mixed media. “I believe that the medium is part of your message,” Sutherland says, noting with a laugh that she’s not referencing Marshall McLuhan. “I just mean that the physicality of the medium and how you apply it can further enhance your idea and your feeling. I used oil sticks for these, from R & F Handmade Paints in Kingston, applying them in a calligraphic way, an impasto way, then spritzed the canvas and stained it with acrylics. This creates a translucent effect where I want it for a sky or water, and yet it gives me the textural context of the earth and the ground.”

One piece in the show came out of a trip to Ecuador, where Sutherland hiked up to 16,500 feet in the Andes. “You’re in the clouds and then you come down,” she says.

“This is my favorite place in the world; it’s gorgeous hiking.” Most of their hikes were down along streams, on very steep slopes, and in front of her was a woman wearing a blue backpack that became a blue dot in the abstracted landscape painting that resulted. The blue dot also references the style of Asian painting in which the human figure is depicted as very small amidst the grandeur of the landscape. Crossing over a stream during the hike is represented in the grounded view of grasses and stones in the lower canvas.

After spending time on the mainland in Ecuador, Sutherland went to the Galápagos. Here she was intrigued by the patterns in the lava flow on which they walked: a sort of ropelike textured surface. In the paintings inspired by the experience, that emerged as tiny dots of yellow, signifying the small yellow flowers that manage to bloom on the lava, bright against the blackness.

This type of abstraction is what calls to Sutherland. “Some people take abstraction to mean only lines, forms and colors – very Mondrianesque – but I refuse to

EXHIBITION

HUDSON VALLEY SEED LIBRARY PACK ART SHOW OPENS THIS SATURDAY AT KMOCA

T

he Kingston Museum of Contemporary Arts (KMoCA) will soon be filled with paintings and photographs depicting the state of small-ag farming and seed-saving efforts in the Hudson Valley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Art of Seed Stewardship: Hudson Valley Seed Library Pack Art 2016â&#x20AC;? and Francesco Mastaliaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s photos from Organic: Farmers and Chefs of the Hudson Valley will be on exhibition, with an opening reception this Saturday evening, November 7 and a special Walk and Talk presentation delivered by the Seed Libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ken Greene on Saturday, November 14. Founder of the Seed Library, Greene is passionate about promoting the restoration of seed varieties and educating the public on their history.

Every year the Seed Library commissions artists to create seed packet artwork, and for six years those works of art have been exhibited in a traveling show of the originals each year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At KMoCA â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we like to do our first show locally, because many of our artists are local â&#x20AC;&#x201C; weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sharing this space with Francesco,â&#x20AC;? says Greene. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He uses a very â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;heirloomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sort of process to make his photographs of farmers and chefs, whereas the artwork that we commission is very contemporary and colorful. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re both celebrating art and doing it in different ways.â&#x20AC;?

This year, the Seed Library is introducing 15 new varieties of heirloom seeds, to be added to the 400 varieties already in the full catalogue. Once the commissioned artwork is done for a particular variety, that is the one that will be seen on the seed packet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That artist and that variety are forever. We move the exhibit all over the country, and every year it has more reach. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already booked a show in Troy for the Art Center of the Capital Region and one in Santa Rosa, California, for the Heirloom Expo, one in Corvallis, Oregon, Tower Hill outside of Boston, the Philadelphia Flower Show. I really wanted to continue that tradition I found by collecting antique seed catalogues, only make it more contemporary. Seed-pack and catalogue design has become so generic. To me whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important is the story the seeds come with, and the cultural and genetic diversity. By having every one different, it kind of screams diversity: the flavors, the colors, the adaptations.â&#x20AC;?

Greene says that they started the gallery show of the originals because they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford to pay artists a lot for their work, so doing a show gives them a bit of exposure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I consider seed-saving an art. There are a lot of creative decisions that go into seed stewardship. My creative interests have all been funneled into seeds, and I love supporting the creative arts industry. Artists are cultural seed-savers. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re creating culture through their work. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to use the power of art to communicate our message and help people understand the way heirloom seeds are different; this artwork reflects that.â&#x20AC;?

The Hudson Valley Seed Library is a small independent seed company that grows organic, open-pollinated and heirloom seeds in Accord. A pop-up shop at the opening will offer people a chance to buy seeds and fine-art prints. Visitors to the Walk and Talk will learn why thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a star constellation of a raven above Dark Star Zucchini, what mice have to do with Mexican Sour Gherkins, how a paintbrush created Bush Delicata Squash and more.

Mastalia, a documentary photographer and author living in Rhinebeck, spotlights the Hudson Valley as a region at the forefront of the organic movement in his book Organic: Farmers and Chefs of the Hudson Valley. It features the dedicated farmers who are committed to growing and producing food using sustainable methods, and the chefs who echo their beliefs and pay homage to the food that they produce. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Ann Hutton Art of Seed Stewardship/Organic: Farmers and Chefs of the Hudson Valley opening reception, Saturday, November 7, 5-8 p.m., free, Gallery Talk with Ken Green, Saturday, November 14, 1 & 2:30 p.m., $10, Kingston Museum of Contemporary Arts,103 Abeel Street, Kingston; (845) 204-8769, www.seedlibrary.org/tools-and-supplies/workshop-tickets.html.

lose my sense of mark. To me, abstract means taking from things, whether theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re physical or emotional.â&#x20AC;? She says that she plans to continue to work on the series, but observes that the paintings are becoming more abstract since she started, although never to the point of being nonobjective. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I do a lot of paintings from what I remember of flying in airplanes that show atmospheric things, but somehow you know thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still ground there.â&#x20AC;?

Laurie Oliver â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Spiritual Counseling GIVE THE GIFT OF WELLNESS

When Sutherland was a teacher at New Paltz High School â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a 30-year career â&#x20AC;&#x201C; she tried to teach her students the difference between the subject and the idea. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To me it was more important that I share with them how to experience and interpret a great work of art,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why was it done?â&#x20AC;?

She has also applied her creative instincts to restoring historic houses in

the Hudson Valley, most of which she lived in for a time before moving on to another. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a process,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where you are is just the space youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a thing. The first thing I do when I live anywhere is look out the windows. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my view like? Then I redo the house and try to respect its historical integrity.â&#x20AC;?

And once sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done with the project, Sutherland moves on to look out of new

That was the question posed by a handful of art students at SUNYNew Paltz last spring. Their response was the formation of the Dorsky Museum Ambassadors, whose first effort to attract more students into the museum was â&#x20AC;&#x153;Art Collides,â&#x20AC;? a series of student performances created in response to the art on exhibit. The event was such a success that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Reading Objectsâ&#x20AC;? exhibit, three to the Jervis McEntee show and five to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stories We Tell: Hudson Valley

Alex Minewski exhibition at Wired Gallery in High Falls A memorial exhibition of the work of the late New Paltz artist Alex Minewski (1917-1979) will open on Saturday, November 7 at the Wired Gallery, with a reception from 5 to 7 p.m. sponsored by Stone Ridge Wine and Spirits.

The exhibition will include works from Minewski’s estate, including drawings inspired by his frequent visits to Monhegan Island, Maine, as well as oil paintings, watercolors, ceramics and a bronze sculpture.

“Alex Minewski was one of the most

loved and influential artists and teachers [at SUNY-New Paltz] of the 1970s,” say Natalie and Andrew Minewski, his widow and son, respectively. “We hope that this exhibition of his drawings and paintings not previously shown in this area will delight people who knew him and be an eye-opener to people who did not have the privilege.” The exhibit runs until November 18 and is on display alongside a retrospective show by Judith Hoyt, who was one of Minewski’s last students at SUNY-New Paltz.

Born in 1917, Minewski left home at age 14 with sketchbook in hand exploring the American West. He studied with Sarkis Sarkisian in Detroit and at the Art Students’ League in New York with Jean Charlot, Ernest Fiene, George Grosz and Vaclav Vytlacil.

After serving in World War II as a member of Merrill’s Marauders, he studied in Paris for two years and then returned to study in New York City with the renowned German Abstract Expressionist Hans Hofmann. While in New York he maintained a studio where he painted,

framed and provided restoration services.

In 1966, Minewski became a teacher at the State University College at New Paltz (later named SUNY-New Paltz).

During the ‘50s, Minewski added his name to the roll of artists who spent creative time on Monhegan Island. About his yearly visits to the island, Minewski once said, “For the past 20 years, summers on Monhegan Island, Maine have become the focal point for my absorbing visual interest in land, sea and sky. My research into the world of fish led me to explore all varieties of undersea life. I have tried to stress the conceptual value of things ‘seen,’ rather than simply what the eye ‘looks at.’”

SUNY-New Paltz has established a memorial scholarship in Minewski’s name for excellence in painting and fine arts.

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 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 15 to 22 at various

One Book/One New Paltz to spotlight Orange is the New Black One of the most popular shows is the Netflix series Orange is the New Black, which wrapped up its third season last June. Balancing weird, off-the-wall, over-the-top 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

venues around New Paltz. Probably the biggest draw will be an appearance by Barbara Rosenblat, the actress (above) 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.

READING

Poet Joshua Mehigan at SUNY- New Paltz

P

oet Joshua Mehigan (The Optimist, 2004, and Accepting the Disaster, 2014) grew up in upstate New York and earned a BA from SUNYPurchase College and an MFA from Sarah Lawrence College. Winner of the Hollis Summers Poetry Prize, finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize and named a Big Ten University Press Pick by ForeWord magazine, he has had poetry featured in several anthologies, including the Swallow Anthology of New American Poets (2009), Poetry: A Pocket Anthology (2007) and Writing Metrical Poetry (2006). His work has appeared in the New Criterion, Poetry and Poetry Daily, garnering numerous accolades and fellowships.

When asked how the impulse to write poetry formed his life, he says, “It’s complicated! It’s the thing I do every day, so it’s like a job, but it’s also a somewhat peculiar job. The economics of it are definitely supply-side. The possibilities are few, with respect to what I can do for money and also have time and energy to write.” Not being independently wealthy, he describes always trying to get a job that will allow him to write and also to live a reasonable life. “I am always trying to figure out how to make time and energy to write. It’s hard and frustrating work at times.

But it has also obviously given me a tremendous amount of pleasure and satisfaction.”

“I wrote to Hayden Carruth once, and he gave me a very good piece of advice.

He said to try to place my sympathies with other people.”

Did you find poetry as a reader before you began to record your own thoughts?

Just the opposite! I started out mostly interested in writing, and not so much interested in reading. Most reading took work (I have a couple of learning disabilities that were undiagnosed until I was an adult). But, over six or seven years, I did begin to find poets and fiction and nonfiction writers who made me say, “I want to learn to do that!” The writers I looked to, and who inspired me to keep going, were poets like Alan Dugan, Gary Soto and Elizabeth Bishop, and fiction writers like Stephen Crane and Flannery O’Connor.

Does “being a poet” serve to separate you out of the crowd, or does it make your connection to others stronger?

Both! It separates me – most definitely! – in that I’m deeply into something, day in and day out, in a fairly intense way, that most people aren’t into at all. Most nonpoets I’ve talked to over the years can’t name a living poet. But in my case, it also strengthens my connection to the crowd in that I am always trying to think about other people. When I was young, I wrote to Hayden Carruth once, and he gave me a very good piece of advice. He said to try to place my sympathies with other people.

I’ve always hoped to understand something about people, and I’ve hoped, also, to communicate whatever I can learn about people to them.

Is poetry an art that comments on our society, or does it actually, proactively form our world?

In terms of immediate cause-and-effect, it may be more of the former; but if you mean something like what William Shakespeare did in the 17th century and what Gwendolyn Brooks did in the 20th, then poetry in the US isn’t really read by enough people to form our world – not relative to more popular artforms like TV, music, movies et cetera, or even, say, memes on social media. Also, a lot of poetry doesn’t comment on society, really, or does so very elliptically. But I do think poetry helps form our world – of course! – or I wouldn’t bother with it. I just think its effect is

Acme Mystery Company auditions in Rhinebeck For nearly two decades, the Acme Mystery Company – based in Syracuse – has put on self-authored interactive mysteries, often in dinner-theater sessions and always in a way that actually paid its actors and backstage professionals. Now the company is setting

up a satellite repertory company in Poughkeepsie, and looking for actors to fill roles in its 20-plus different productions each year.

“Non-Equity performers ages 18 to 80 are encouraged to attend,” reads the casting call for auditions on November 14-15 at the Center for Performing Arts at Rhinebeck. “The Acme Mystery Company is a paid repertory theatre. Actors must be able to work quickly and efficiently. Actors need to travel; learn multiple scripts; use crazy characters and accents; and most importantly, have fun with their audiences.”

Poet Joshua Mehigan

probably very slow. It takes a long time to sink in. But I think good poetry lends gravity and permanence to the ideas it carries along with it!

How does writing poetry occur to you?

Constantly, inconveniently and usually in an extremely rough form.

You take on some sobering subject matter. Do you consider yourself a basically serious guy? Is there levity behind the words?

I do not consider myself an especially serious guy! I own at least two whoopee cushions. With my wife, family and good friends, I joke compulsively, usually in a scatological vein or in an attempt to shock them into laughing with extreme gallows humor. I wouldn’t describe my poems as funny, I guess; but when I write about very serious things, for the sake of irony I do occasionally use certain mildly amusing verse techniques. And even in some of the serious poems that I’ve kept stylistically very plain, I’ll often feel the presence there of something absurd and so maybe, occasionally, funny.

What inspires you?

Many, many things! Movies, fiction, nonfiction, science, poetry, nature, music, language I overhear, uncanny events, enigmatic occurrences, unusual states of mind, observing people, interaction with people, thinking, talking, sublime or horrible things that happen in real life, the need to articulate things, working out technical and mechanical problems in writing et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

If you’ve lived here any length of time, the Phantoms need no introduction. If you’re new here – especially if you have a child who may need some extra help – you’ll learn more about Spectrum Services, too. Just make sure that you wear your dancing shoes. “We’re still kickin’, and we’ll be doing older stuff and new material too. I sang my first gig with the Phantoms when I was five years old,” says Jasmine, “and have been singing with them since I was 18.”

Phantoms show at Kingston’s Chateau to benefit Center for Spectrum Services

The Phantoms: Brian Becker, Joe Veillette, Jasmine Veillette, Charlie Staxx, Mike McDonough

The Center for Spectrum Services, a school for Hudson Valley children with autism, celebrates its 40th anniversary this year. The non-profit organization is hosting a dinner/dance and benefit on Saturday evening to raise funds for children who attend Spectrum Services. Seasonal delicacies and live music by the Phantoms, one of the region’s favorite a cappella and plugged-in bands, will cook up an evening of fun for a good cause.

And, though the combination of a local band playing to benefit a nonprofit is fairly common, this time the connection is personal. Joe Veillette, one of the Phantoms’ founding members, has a seven-year-old grandson, Ethan, who just started his third year at Spectrum Services; Joe’s daughter Jasmine (Ethan’s Mom) sings with the band.

“Going to Spectrum Services has definitely changed Ethan’s life for the better,” says Jasmine. “They’re absolutely wonderful, and he’s grown by leaps and bounds. When he first started there, he was speaking words but had no conversational skills. He engaged in a lot of inner play, versus other small children who tend to involve other kids in their play. He crawled and walked late, and was using a lot of hand motions and constant repetitions. When it came time for kindergarten, he had aged out of a wonderful school [Brookside in Cottekill] and needed more special care.”

After two years at Spectrum Services, “Ethan’s progress has been an amazing thing,” says Jasmine. “He gets lots of individualized attention; his main classroom only has five or six children.

He talks a lot now, and even initiates conversations. He will tell me he wants to watch a TV program – and tell me what channel it’s on. Though he’s not ready for a regular school, the difference in him is definitely amazing.”

Her advice to other parents who suspect that their child may need some extra help?

“Don’t be afraid of the possibility. You have to deal with what’s in front of you.

And make sure you get checkups done.”

Basically – trust your instincts, face it, network and be proactive. “Some parents are afraid to do the legwork, and facing the whole thing can be very daunting. Every child is an individual…and, at Spectrum Services, they give the parents a book with notes written in it to let you know what your child is working on each week,” allowing parents to reinforce learning for the child’s benefit. “Lots of parents don’t

NIGHT SKY

New experiment shows space doesn’t exist Bottom line: Quantum Theory rules

T

he idea of a kind of inseparability so far as space and time are concerned was dealt with by John Bell in the 1960s. His idea was that particles – whether of matter or of light, it doesn’t make a difference – don’t really independently exist except as a kind of probabilistic entity. The act of observation causes this mere probabilistic wave function to “collapse,” and the object abruptly materializes as an actual entity in a real location.

With entanglement, two particles are born together and secretly share a wave function. If one is observed, its wave function and that of its twin simultaneously collapse. And they do so regardless of the distance between them.

Even if the twins are separated by half the diameter of the universe, says quantum mechanics, the observation of one twin will cause both to become actual entities. When either is observed, its twin “knows” what happened to its doppelganger (that it came into an actual physical existence as a photon or electron) and instantly assumes the complementary guise – even if its twin is in a different galaxy. During this process no time will elapse, no matter their distance apart. It’s as if there’s no space between them. They’re essentially two sides of the same coin, and distance between them is nonexistent, even if, to us, it’s half the width of the cosmos.

Einstein hated this because he believed in locality: that an object can only be acted upon by something in its neighborhood. Meaning, a leaf in Brooklyn would be stirred by a gust of wind, but it won’t be instantaneously jostled by the air disturbances generated by a lively peasant revolt on an alien planet in the Andromeda galaxy.

In 1935, Einstein and two colleagues, Boris Podolsky and Nathan Rosen, wrote a nowfamous paper in which they addressed this aspect of Quantum Theory. Examining the prediction that particles created together (“entangled” particles) can somehow know what the other is doing, the physicists argued that any such parallel behavior must be due to local effects – some contamination of the experiment – rather than some sort of “spooky action at a distance.” That “spooky action” line became endlessly quoted as a pejorative, a putdown of this ridiculous idea that, on some fundamental level, there could be no space between objects or no time lapse between events.

New experiments, as reported in The New York Times a few weeks ago, show that Einstein was wrong.

LAURO ROGER MCALLISTER

A lot hinged on this. In a way, it was a pivotal time between clinging to classical deterministic physics and accepting locality, as Einstein insisted on doing, versus traversing the strange blurry quantum alleyways that, ironically, Einstein had helped create with his 1905 explanation of the photoelectric effect.

The classical viewpoint says that physical objects are real regardless of whether they are being observed. Moreover, unless they’re in contact, or emit something like photons that can create contact, or at least some sort of influence via an electric or magnetic field or through gravitation, individual objects cannot influence each other. And certainly they cannot if they are so widely separated that electromagnetic energy from one does not have time to reach the other. As for instantaneous influence involving no time at all, or influence that acts as if no intervening space exists between the objects: Forget about it, said Einstein and his colleagues.

New experiments, as reported in The New York Times a few weeks ago, show that Einstein was wrong. As to the implications of all this, the new findings make perfect sense if the universe is actually a consciousness-based entity. These ramifications are central in the new book, Beyond Biocentrism, which will be published in April, and from which this week’s column is taken.

My two sweet Annie plants aren’t destined for drug production; they’re for olfactory pleasure. Tied into bundles and hung in the mudroom alongside the front door, the bundle will effuse its camphor-sweet aroma each time a breeze or a person brushes past.

Sweet Annie is a self-seeding annual that, like some other members of the wormwood family, can become weedy.

That makes it perhaps unwise that I planted it where I did.

Garden areas closest to my front, back and side doors are the ones that get most care and that I look at the most; these considerations guide my plantings, both for aesthetics and for pragmatism. Things get wilder as you move farther from the house, the most dramatic example of which is the meadow that begins where the lawn ends.

So it was perhaps foolish to plant sweet Annie, which is not much to look at and could become weedy, in the bed next to my terrace. Having the fragrant leaves close by was one rationale. But for some reason, that one bed is cared for the least, perhaps because (or perhaps consequently) it has become a dumping ground for miscellaneous plants for which there are no obvious homes.

That bed is also home to chamomile.

Again, one rationale was to have it nearby so I could conveniently pluck flowerheads for tea – which I do. But really, no other home presented itself. I planted chamomile there many years ago and got scared of its seeding all over the

place. With diligence, I was able to get rid of it – until this year, when I replanted it.

I’ve been warned (by myself ).

I even planted mint in that bed, again, to have it handy for tea, but knowing how it could (and once did) knit the soil, just beneath the surface, with its lacework of stolons from which sprout new stems.

I did have the foresight, this time, to contain the roots by planting the mint into a chimney flue sunk into the ground. Constant attention will be needed to prevent the stems from flopping down over the sides of the flue to root (which they do very easily) where they touch soil.

From today’s perspective, a handy little garden overflowing with sweet aromas is appealing. I’ll see how I feel next year at this time.

Artemisin was isolated from the plant in the 1970s by Chinese scientist Tu Youyou, for which she shared a Nobel Prize.

KRISTIAN PETERS

The most widespread and thoroughly documented use of sweet Annie is, in combination with other drugs, in the treatment of malaria, a disease responsible for over half a million deaths per year. artemisin, a biologically active compound or, more specifically, the increasing that has contributed to sweet Annie’s concentration of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere, which is one cause for global figuring into Chinese herbal medicine for the past 2,000 years. Artemisin was warming. Carbon dioxide, for all its bad isolated from the plant in the 1970s by press, is one ingredient in the recipe for Chinese scientist Tu Youyou, for which photosynthesis. The carbon in carbon she shared a Nobel Prize. Sweet Annie’s dioxide is what becomes the organic uses in Chinese medicine (qinghao in carbon in a plant’s cellulose, starches, Chinese) run from treating asthma to skin sugars, fats, proteins and other essential diseases to stomach pain to rheumatism building blocks that store energy and to…but not all such claims have been build a plant’s physical structure. More experimentally verified (and sweet Annie carbon dioxide in the atmosphere could could have bad side effects). translate into greater growth, although The most widespread and thoroughly increased temperatures from global documented use of sweet Annie is, in warming could have the opposite effect.

In the case of sweet Annie, research combination with other drugs, in the treatment of malaria, a disease responsible by the US Department of Agriculture for over half a million deaths per year. One indicates that a more carbon-dioxide-rich roadblock to the more widespread use of future would lead to more growth, which translates to greater yields of sweet Annie artemisin is its cost.

That brings us to global warming and more artemisin for treating malaria.

Hanging from vines on the arbor over the terrace are remnants of the season’s grapes and the white paper bags that protected some of the bunches. I found a few bags still with unharvested clusters, frozen but still intact: “ice grapes,” the precursor to “ice wine,” except that these are eating grapes. They were smooth, sweet and flavorful.

TASTE Sacred cacao Red Hook & the Chocolate Festival returns this Saturday

S

eems like every town these days needs to have a signature specialty food festival. Saugerties has its garlic, Rosendale its pickles, Margaretville its cauliflower, Monroe its cheese. While tantalizing treats can be prepared from all of these foods, the thing that many of us crave most often, when you really get down to it – and especially when we’re feeling a little blue – is chocolate. Nothing gets the happy endorphins pumping quite so expeditiously.

The merchants of Red Hook, bless their hearts, have kindly conspired to gratify this recurrent desire by organizing an annual chocolate festival, which returns to the northern Dutchess County hamlet this Saturday. Presumably to evoke the popular Roald Dahl children’s book and subsequent movie versions featuring

tradition developed in India around the sixth and fifth centuries BCE. She and David Life are known for teaching yoga as spiritual activism and for connecting the ancient teachings of yoga to the modern world. They’ve created the Jivamukti Yoga Method, producing yoga-related DVDs and books to spread the word. An artist, writer, musician and proponent of animal rights and a vegan lifestyle, Gannon practices the precepts of nonviolence (ahimsa), kindness (maitri) and compassion (karuna), even extending these to include non-human animals, for which she has established a 125acre wild forest sanctuary.

Short of signing up for a yoga class or visiting the sanctuary, locals can meet Gannon for a cup of tea this Saturday at Mirabai Bookstore in Woodstock, where she will hold a salon, serving from her own Jivamukti line of teas, some of which are hand-harvested from her Woodstock home. “We’ll be drinking some delicious Jivamuktea and sharing stories,” she writes. “If you have a tea-related story that you would like to share, please bring it!”

Talk on Depression-Era art in Poughkeepsie The Big Read is a great concept, and even better in action. Over in Poughkeepsie, the subject that everyone is concentrating on is the incomparable true American author John Steinbeck.

But in considering his great oeuvre, one of the key events of the “read” will be a special presentation on “Great Art from the Great Depression” on Tuesday evening, November 10 at 7 p.m. at the Poughkeepsie library’s Boardman Road Branch.

P. Emmett McLaughlin – artist, local art instructor and adjunct faculty of Art History at SUNY-Dutchess – will give a presentation examining the work of a number of artists with local ties who flourished under president Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s New Deal initiatives supporting art of all types, most famously under the WPA (Works Progress Administration) program that engaged hundreds of artists who in turn created more than 100,000 paintings and murals and over 18,000 sculptures, many extant in the Hudson Valley.

Mäntyjärvi titled Canticum Calamitatis Maritimae, which the composer dedicated to the memory of the 852 people who perished in the shipwreck of the MS Estonia in the Baltic Sea on September 28, 1994. The work combines a “folksong” soprano solo (very loosely based on the hymn “Nearer, My God, to Thee”) with Latin texts from the ancient Requiem Mass, both whispered and sung by the chorus.

The concert will also feature “water” works by Barber, Kverno, Brahms, Monteverdi, Lasso, Palestrina, Whitacre and others, and will conclude with a beautiful set of uplifting spirituals. Truly a concert not to be missed!

Tickets cost $20 general admission, $15 for seniors and $5 for youth/students.

You may order tickets online by visiting www.kairosconsort.org and clicking on the “Concert Schedule” link. If you prefer to order by phone, call toll-free (800) 8383006 and request Event #2327619. For further information and directions, call (845) 256-9114.

Kairos performs “Water Music” at West Park’s Holy Cross Monastery Kairos: A Consort of Singers, under the direction of Edward Lundergan, presents a special concert of a cappella works titled “Water Music” on Sunday, November 15 at 4 p.m. at the Holy Cross Monastery, located at 1615 Route 9W in West Park. “Water Music” features a wonderful selection of sacred and secular a cappella choral works from the Medieval period to the present, all depicting different themes of water: tumultuous (and sometimes deadly) seas, calm, peaceful lakes and streams, redemptive baptisms, flowing rivers and life-sustaining sustenance.

The centerpiece of the performance is a stunning and haunting choral work by contemporary Finnish composer Jaakko

Kingston, New York Victoria A. Fabella, Clerk Ulster County Legislature Local Law Number 12 Of 2015 County 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 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Legislatureâ&#x20AC;?) 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: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Animal Abuse Crimeâ&#x20AC;? 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 â&#x20AC;&#x153;AMLâ&#x20AC;?) § 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

by New York State Penal Law (hereinafter â&#x20AC;&#x153;PLâ&#x20AC;?) § 130.20(3); Harming an animal trained to aid a person with a disability, as defined by PL § 195.11; Killing or injuring a police animal, as defined

by PL § 195.12; Harming a service animal in the second degree, as defined by PL § 242.10 Harming a service animal in the first degree, as defined by PL § 242.15. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Convicted of â&#x20AC;? shall mean an adjudication of guilty by any court of competent jurisdiction, whether upon a verdict of guilty or a plea of guilty. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ulster County Animal Abuse Registryâ&#x20AC;? 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.

SECTION 3. CREATION OF REGISTRY. A registry is hereby created which shall contain the names and residence information of individuals who are convicted of Animal Abuse Crimes. The Ulster County District Attorney is hereby authorized and empowered to contract with qualified organizations dedicated to animal protection, rescue, and/or preventing animal abuse to establish and maintain a publicly accessible registry for such individuals. All fees collected by Ulster County shall be used for the maintenance and administration of the registry.

SECTION 4. REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS. All persons 18 years of age or older who reside in Ulster County and are convicted of an Animal Abuse Crime on or after the effective date of this Local Law must register with the Ulster County Animal Abuse Registry at the office of the Ulster County District Attorney, or the office of his or her authorized agent, within ten (10) days following their release from incarceration or, if not incarcerated, from the date of conviction.

The Ulster County District Attorney, or his or her authorized agent, shall promptly notify all persons convicted of an Animal Abuse Crimes in Ulster County that they must register with the Ulster County Animal Abuse Registry within ten (10) days following their release from incarceration or, if not incarcerated, from the date of conviction.

Each person required to register with the Ulster County Animal Abuse Registry shall submit: (1) His or her name; (2) Any aliases he or she is known under; (3) His or her residential address; and (4) A photograph of his or her head and shoulders from the front.

Each person registered with the Ulster County Animal Abuse Registry shall update his or her registration information within ten (10) days of moving from one residential address to another.

For the first conviction of an Animal Abuse Crime, a person required to register with the Ulster County Animal Abuse Registry shall remain on the Registry for fifteen (15) years following his or her release from incarceration or the date of conviction, whichever is later.

Often being understanding is more important that being right. Sometimes we need not a brilliant mind that speaks, but a patient heart that listens, not keen eyes that always see faults, but open arms that accept, not a finger that points out mistakes, but gentle hands that lead. This is my philosophy. My job is to show the path to homeownership and make it as simple and pleasant a task as possible. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard when you think you are right about something not to force it on others, but that is what we must do in life. We try to remember that to be old and wise one must first be young and foolish.

So come and let us gently guide you into your first home. We listen and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be old and Wi nM or ris wise for you. on

PRAYER TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN. (Never known to fail.) Oh, most beautiful flower of Mt. Carmel, fruitful vine splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son of God. Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity.

Oh, Star of the Sea, help me and show me herein you are my mother. Oh, Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth!

I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in this necessity. There are none that can withstand your power. Oh, show me herein you are my mother. Oh Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee (3x). Holy Mother, I place this cause in your hands (3x). Holy Spirit, you who solve all problems, light all roads so that I can attain my goal. You who gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me and that in all instances in my life you are with me, I want in this short prayer to thank-you for all things as you confirm once again that I never want to be separated from you in eternal glory. Thank-you for your mercy towards me and mine. The person must say this prayer 3 consecutive days, the request will be granted. This prayer must be published after the favor is granted.
