Saugerties Public Library hosts MLK program on Monday

The educational theater company Passing the Torch through the Arts will present an interactive program, The Man We Never Knew, about the life and times of Martin Luther King, Jr., at the Saugerties Public Library on Monday, January 20 at 1 p.m. The interactive program is appropriate for all ages. Martin Luther King, Jr. is portrayed by writer and actor Michael Monasterial, who shares little-known facts about King’s life, answers questions and provides a historical backdrop for the March on Washington. Monasterial ends the program by presenting an excerpt of the “I Have a Dream” speech, then answers audience questions in character. The program serves as the inaugural event of the company’s American History Theater Festival in Saugerties. Admission is free. The Saugerties Public Library is located at 91 Washington Avenue in Saugerties. For more information, call (845) 246-4317 or visit www. saugertiespubliclibrary.org.

The Upper Esopus Fish & Game Club in Oliverea will host the Shandaken Primitive Biathlon on Sunday, January 19 from 9 a.m. to 12 noon. The event will consist of a 1.25-mile course and four shooting stations with two shots per station. The course will be a timed event where the number of scored targets will subtract time from a competitor’s overall time. An extra minute will be subtracted if a competitor wears 1800s-era attire. Competitors will be divided into four age groups: ages 12 to 16, 17 to 40, 41 to 59 and age 60 and over. There will be prizes awarded for first place in each age group, and a special prize will be awarded to the youth group winner. There will also be an untimed woods-walk division for those wanting just to snowshoe and shoot the course. Tomahawk and Sharpshooter competitions will be included as separate events. The Upper Esopus Fish & Game Club is located at Little Peck Hollow Road in Oliverea. For more information and to register, visit www. shandakenprimitivebiathlon.net.

January 16, 2014

Back in the 1950s and ‘60s, Hurley’s Oehler’s Mountain Lodge hosted one of the country’s first official soccer fields, and countless European, South American and local footballers played on the site

The field of battle Andrew Lloyd Webber soccer musical The Boys in the Photograph opens this Friday near hallowed sports ground at NYCA in Hurley

C

onsidering our enthusiasm for spectator sports – whether measured in dollars or in time spent sitting in stadium seats or in front of a TV screen – it seems inexplicable that American culture still hasn’t been wholly infected with the rest of the world’s long-established passion for soccer (or football, as it’s known in the remnants of the British empire). We may have turned the corner when the word “vuvuzela” entered the popular lexicon, around the time of the 2010 FIFA World Cup hosted by South Africa. Nowadays more and more US schools and communities host their own soccer teams; but we still have an awful lot of catching up to do. Back in the 1950s and ‘60s, a summer resort on the outskirts of Kingston known as Oehler’s Mountain Lodge was a sort of low-key incubator for American interest in the sport. It hosted one of the country’s first official soccer fields, and countless European, South American and local footballers played on the site. A little yellow house still standing on the property was actually an old official’s booth. In the 1970s the former Lodge became the first

home for the Creative Music Studio, which later moved to Woodstock, and the New York Conservatory of the Arts (NYCA) set up operations at the Hurley site in 1986. But had you taken a photo of that soccer pitch back in the day, you might have caught the great Pelé himself in action. That factoid furnishes a fascinating connection to NYCA’s next stage production, opening this weekend. Pelé’s autobiography, titled My Life and the Beautiful Game, inspired the original title of a musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Ben Elton that never quite made it to Broadway and has pretty much slipped off the theatrical radar in recent years. Premiering in London’s Cambridge Theatre in September 2000, The Beautiful Game got mixed reviews and was rewritten with a more upbeat ending as The Boys in the Photograph, which opened in Winnipeg in October 2009. Set in Belfast at the dawn of the 1970s, the drama concerns the members of a Catholic-sponsored youth soccer team who are trying, with varying degrees of success, to pursue romance and sporting glory amidst the violent clashes between

Patriotic and religious fervor contends with the desire for a peaceful life, pulling the erstwhile teammates in various directions, with sometimestragic results. Af ter being yanked from the musical lineup of the original production, “Our Kind of Love,” a song celebrating the ability of romantic love to transcend artificial social b a r r i e r s , eventually ended up a hit number in Love Never Dies, Lloyd Webber’s sequel to The Phantom of the Opera. Another anthem that did make the cut for the rewrite, “Let Us Love in Peace,” has taken on a life of its own, having been performed as the closing song of the October 2001 memorial service at Ground Zero for the victims of the 9/11 attacks.

DANCE

Winter warmups Contradance this Saturday at Arlington Reformed Church gets cold muscles moving

A

lternating as it tends to do between bitter cold and dreary rain, January weather makes it a challenge to keep one’s New Year’s resolution to get more exercise. The era of fabulous cross-country skiing and snowshoeing conditions in the mid-Hudson seems to be long-gone, with the requisite base layer of snow invariably melting within a few days even after a big blizzard. So if it’s a bad time to get outdoors, how do you stay physically active? If a bit of social stimulation is what you really need to motivate you to keep moving, you might want to try out contradance. A high-energy, traditional British-Isles-goneAppalachian form of line dancing, it’s not as cornball as the square dances that you did back in junior high. But the basic moves – swing, chain, balance, do-si-do, star, promenade and so on – are essentially the same, endlessly recombined into complex patterns that any klutz can learn in short order. Contradances are typically accompanied by topnotch live bands playing uptempo, old-timey bluegrass and Americana music, driving a vigorous workout that can go on for hours. There’s also a fun social aspect to contradancing. Since participants are divided into two long lines facing one another, and you continually move on to the right or left as the dance progresses, you’re propelled into the arms of a new partner every

7:30 p.m. at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of the Catskills in Kingston. Admission is free and all are welcome. The play centers around the rivalry between Rose Fleishman and her neighbor Lady O’Riley, which cannot be

resolved until a boy’s attempted voyage from a Europe on the brink of war helps bridge the ocean between them. Tragic, humorous and touching, the play resonates with challenges that we still face in our world today, and shows us what can happen when we set our aspirations

couple of minutes. It’s a bit like speed-dating, except that you don’t have to come up with a list of tricky questions to weed out undesirable potential mates. And if you mess up a step due to inexperience, your next partner will likely straighten you out without a fuss. People of all ages come out for the regular gatherings sponsored in these parts by Hudson Valley Community Dances. The dances take place in different towns on different weekends, with the Arlington Reformed Church at 22 Raymond Avenue in Poughkeepsie hosting the sweaty festivities on the third Saturday of each month from 7:30 to 10:30 p.m. This Saturday, January 18 will feature fiddler Ambrose Verdibello and guitarist Norman Plankey; Michale Kernan will be the caller who puts you through your paces. Admission to Hudson Valley Community Dances events costs $10, $5 for full-time students. You can just show up, with or without a partner; but bring a pair of softsoled shoes that are worn indoors only, to spare the dancefloor from grit. For more information, call (845) 473-7050 or e-mail contra@hudsonvalleydance.org.

Kingston hosts Freestyle Frolic Community Anniversary Dance this Saturday

L

ike the idea of dancing to keep limber and warm in the wintertime, but too anarchic a spirit to embrace the clockwork structure of contradance? The mid-Hudson offers another regularly scheduled option for all who leap, stomp and writhe to the beat of a different drummer: Freestyle Frolic Barefoot Dance Events, which typically happen on the first and third Saturdays of the month from 8:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. From October through April, Freestyle Frolic gatherings are held at the Knights of Columbus Hall at 389 Broadway in Kingston; in summertime they move to the outdoor stage at the Center for Symbolic Studies (a/k/a Stone Mountain Farm) in Tillson. The musical selections at a Freestyle Frolic are wildly eclectic, with volunteer deejays playing an ever-changing mix of R&B, dubstep, funk, tribal, world, soul, jazz, hip-hop, ambient, Latin, reggae, house, African, Celtic, Middle Eastern, downtempo trance, electronica, disco, rock and pop. People of all ages – anywhere from 60 to 120 at each event – dance barefoot, with or without partners. Smoking, alcohol, drugs and pets are not permitted; you’ll get your altered state of consciousness and your endorphin rush just from moving to the music. This Saturday, January 18, the cooperatively run group, which has been (loosely) organizing Frolics for many years now, will present its annual Freestyle Frolic Community Anniversary Dance at the Knights of Columbus Hall. Admission is charged on a sliding scale of $5 to $10 for adults, $2 to $7 for teens and seniors, and is free for kids and volunteers.

Great cast elevates scattershot caper comedy American Hustle

F

alling prey to a fraud scheme in real life is a nuisance at best, devastating at worst. But as long as we’re hearing about them from a safe storytelling distance, we humans seem hard-wired to adore con artists. Practically every oral tradition has its trickster archetypes, from Anansi, Coyote and Raven to Aesop’s Fox, Jack the Giant-Killer and Br’er Rabbit. We love to hear of wily Odysseus gulling the Cyclops; in fact, the ancient Greeks respected skillful con men so well that they even assigned them their own guardian deity, Hermes. The character of the cunning servant proved enduringly popular from classical Greek and Roman theatre through Shakespeare’s comedies, Italian commedia dell’arte and French farces like Molière’s Scapin. The cinematic tradition is no exception, of course. Amongst its long roster of garden-variety trickster tales, Hollywood has evolved its own peculiar genre generally identified as the “caper film.â€? Typically these leaven action and suspense with comedy and a bit of romance, often between criminals competing for the same prize (or alternatively, a crook and an investigator). More often than not

the audience is invited to root for the perpetrators rather than the lawmen. In most “classic� examples of the caper genre, the masterminds are depicted as attractive, elegant and sophisticated people. If only we could be as cool and as smart as they are, we think, we could pull off a spectacular heist as well – ethical qualms be damned. David O. Russell’s new film American Hustle is a splendid addition to the list of caper flicks, but veers off from the conventions in major ways. For one thing, the tone of lighthearted criminal fun gives way toward the end of the second act to a lot of angst and desperation that seem a bit out of character for the genre. And though the main characters in this convoluted puzzler – loosely based

on the 1978 Abscam sting operation – may think of themselves as elegant and sophisticated, seen in historical retrospect, they seem ridiculous. To some degree this impression is dependent on cheap shots about ugly 1970s clothes and hairstyles, which are all good fun at first but wear thin over the movie’s somewhat excessive two-anda-half-hour length. Fr o m t h e very first scene – of Christian Bale as small-time loan shark and art fence Irving Rosenfeld, displaying a notable pot belly (did this guy really play Batman?) and constructing an elaborate combovercum-hairpiece – we are signaled that this movie is going to be about fakery on every conceivable level. Soon enough we’ll discover that ambitious FBI agent Richie DiMaso (Bradley Cooper) puts his hair up in pincurls, Irving’s partnerin-crime Sydney Prosser (Amy Adams) is faking her English accent and claims to aristocracy, while Irving’s bored wife Rosalyn (Jennifer Lawrence) is really into her nail extensions. The lying and conniving are hardly skindeep, though; this is one of those movies where everyone has such a game going on that right from the get-go, you don’t take anything that anyone says or does at face value. The challenge for the viewer is to try to stay one jump ahead of who’s zoomin’ who(m). But we’ve seen enough of these sorts of movies by now that American Hustle’s double- and triple-crosses don’t come as such great revelations, and the final plot twist is so lackluster that it almost feels anticlimactic. The main characters are all too skeevy and self-involved for us to experience much

Troubled times in Tijuana Rosendale Theatre screens G o for Sisters with director John Sayles on hand this Saturday

F

or folks who start dreaming of an escape to someplace subtropical when the polar vortex comes to town, a trip to Mexico can be an appealing option. It’s somewhat more affordable these days for the same reason that many Norteamericanos find it too scary to contemplate: The stories about drug-gang violence that have saturated news coverage from south of the border in recent years have created a slump in the country’s tourism industry. Talk to someone who has been there lately, though, and you’re likely to hear that most of Mexico is still pretty safe and friendly to visitors with US dollars to spend. “Just stay away from the border towns and you’ll be okay,â€? people say. In John Sayles’s latest movie Go for Sisters, the character portrayed by Emmy-winner and Tony and Oscar nominee Edward James Olmos puts it a different way, calling border towns in general and Tijuana in particular “a theme park for bad behavior.â€? That’s where the son of a hard-nosed, by-the-books LA parole officer named Bernice (LisaGay Hamilton) gets kidnapped just as she is becoming edgily reacquainted with Fontayne (Yolonda Ross), her best friend from high school. A former drug addict who is making a serious effort to walk the strait-and-narrow after being released from prison – against horrific odds, considering the crime-ridden neighborhood in which she lives – Fontayne unwittingly commits a minor parole violation and falls under Bernice’s unsympathetic scrutiny. (It doesn’t help that, years prior, they fell out because Fontayne had “stolenâ€? Bernice’s boyfriend.) But the tables are turned when Bernice finds out that her grown son Rodney (McKinley Belcher III) has disappeared, his partners murdered or in hiding, after getting mixed up in cross-border human trafficking. Desperate to find him, Bernice needs someone who knows how to navigate life outside the law, and makes a deal with Fontayne. To help them infiltrate the perilous world of the Tijuana border gangs, the two women enlist Freddy SuĂĄrez (Olmos), a disgraced former LAPD detective whose vision is failing due to macular degeneration and who is looking for one last chance to redeem himself.

The most compelling reason to see this movie by far is the performance by Jennifer Lawrence, who gets most of the funniest lines. Following up on her Best Actress Oscar in Russell’s Silver

Linings Playbook, the Girl on Fire can do no wrong onscreen these days; she’s a juggernaut, a force of nature. A naïve, materialistic, uneducated suburban housewife who eventually wises up to her husband’s shady dealings and tries to turn the tables, Rosalyn Rosenfeld is basically a retread of Michelle Pfeiffer’s character in Jonathan Demme’s 1988 comedy Married to the Mob.

at the Woodstock Film Festival and will be screened twice this weekend at the Rosendale Theatre, with Sayles, a Red Hook resident, on hand for a live questionand-answer session following the 7:15 p.m. show on Saturday, January 18. If this were a Hollywood movie, the emphasis would be on nonstop guns-blazing action; but fans of the great indie writer/director know to expect something subtler, focused more on character-driven drama via human interaction that reflects the realities of life on the socioeconomic fringes. It’s tougher than ever these days to get thoughtful narrative features like that made, and Sayles had to finance Go for Sisters out of his own pocket. It was reportedly made in 18 days, on a budget of less than a million dollars. You won’t likely be seeing it in the multiplexes anytime soon, so this is a rare chance not only to catch his latest opus, but also to ask questions of the director whose many iconic independent works include The Return of the Secaucus 7, Liana, The Brother from Another Planet, Matewan, Eight Men Out, City of Hope, Passion Fish, The Secret of Roan Inish, Lone Star, Sunshine State and Honeydripper. A second screening of Go for Sisters, sans the filmmaker, will be offered at 7:15 p.m. on Sunday, January 19. The film is unrated because, according to Sayles, he had better things to do with the estimated $2,000 that it would have cost to submit it for rating to the Motion Picture Association of America. So if you’re bringing the family along, expect some violent scenes typical of a crime thriller – even if it is essentially, in the words of New York Times critic Stephen Holden, “a rare African-American female buddy movie.� Tickets for Rosendale Theatre screenings typically cost $7 general admission, $5 for Rosendale Theatre Collective members. – Frances Marion Platt Go for Sisters screening/Q&A with John Sayles, Saturday, January 18, 7:15 p.m., $7/$5, Rosendale Theatre, 408 Main Street, Rosendale; (845) 658-8989, http:// rosendaletheatre.org/2013/12/21/go-for-sisters.

takes her to a whole ‘nother level of laughout-loud righteous rage. The outrageous way in which Rosalyn manages to get the last word in her ladies’ room catfight with her rival Sydney is one of the few genuine surprises in the film; one can’t help wondering if Lawrence thought it up herself. All in all, the Best-Movie-of-the-Year hype about American Hustle is a bit of

an exaggeration. The unraveling of the yarn isn’t nearly as tautly managed as we’ve come to expect from the slick heist flicks of decades past. But you may find yourself laughing so much that you don’t really notice. So you might say that Russell, with the help of a really talented cast, has managed to pull the wool over our collective eyes after all. – Frances Marion Platt

Harrison didn’t play with ambiguity regarding his spirituality. He doesn’t leave you wondering whether he is singing about God or a girl. It’s God.

A

fter declaring the end of the Beatles, Paul McCartney retired to a studio-equipped farm in Scotland and released two modest, true solo efforts as if to deflect all the expectations: the charmingly ramshackle McCartney followed by Ram, a proto-indie folk/pop record, a cloistered and insular “selfie” that was dismissed as fluff in its own time and is now widely regarded as his best post-Beatles effort and a five-star desert island necessity. On it, Paul flexed his multi-instrumental prowess and studio savvy (he alone among the Beatles positively lived in the studio) in the service of rustic and sweet throwaway tunes of the kind that must float out of his head when he sleeps. Elliot Smith never would have happened without Ram. Even now, 40 years later, Ram has all the freshness of a genuine rebirth. In his more combative and

demonstrative way, John Lennon also followed through on the return-to-basics statement that Let It Be was supposed to make with Plastic Ono Band, exploring both musical primitivism and Ja n o v ’s p r i m a l scream on what is one of the most harrowing and cathartic rock records ever made, if you buy into its authenticity. Imagine, released a short time later, appears in some ways as the moneyed commercial corrective to Plastic Ono Band. It is also quite great, making John the only Beatle with two serious contenders in the “best post-Beatles solo album” race. Humble George won that race, however. The Phil Spector-produced All Things Must Pass is the one, if you simply throw the jam-heavy Disc Three in the garbage – or better yet, slide it into your dusty Derek and the Dominos cover with the stems and seeds in the centerfold. History has long understood ATMP as the repository of great songs that had never found purchase on Beatles albums, given George’s scanty allotment as third writer and given how dismissive the Beatles steering committee (John/Paul/George Martin) was of his writing talent. But ATMP is no pastiche of fragments and accumulated bits. The backlog theory

doesn’t account for the astonishing onemoment-in-time coherence of Harrison’s sprawling masterpiece. There is nothing back-to-basics, ramshackle or primitive about it; it is a conceptual megawork, brilliantly realized. It is also an unlikely rock classic for two reasons. First, while some of the album rocks in that Phil Spector wall-ofsound way (“WahWah,” for example), its best moments are dreamy, gorgeous but radio-averse art song. The title track and “Isn’t It a Pity” would be the most famous examples of this mode, “Beware of Darkness” the most odd and beautiful. It is often joked of George that he could be counted on for two great songs per Beatles album, and on his solo albums as well. ATMP in fact yielded two hits: the lawsuit pop of “My Sweet Lord” and the Spector-driven grandeur of “What Is Life”; but, from the album-opening “I’d Have You Anytime” on, the real genius of ATMP consists in its abundance of delicate, intricate and unsentimental ballads – a kind of song for which Harrison’s frail little voice was well-suited. Second, ATMP is not just a spiritual record; it is devotional, rock reimagined as chant and prayer drowned in plate reverb and Hinduism. Unlike, say Bono,

I pledge to read the printed word It’s a movement that’s catching on. It’s not hard to see why. Studies show readers retain more when they read on paper compared to a screen. And in a world bent on speeding us up, it’s nice to sit back and relax with the paper.

to-Cover” residency at the Bearsville Theater by taking a swing at Harrison’s majestic solo debut (if you don’t count Wonderwall). It’s an ambitious way to kick off this series of whole-album tributes, but one suspects that the fellow is up to it. He’ll have his fine band in tow, along with special guests to account for ATMP’s many production flourishes and grandeurs. An uncredited Eric Clapton contributed some of his most lyrical playing ever to ATMP, and the able axeman Kennedy will surely kill that stuff. The real question is how much shedding he’ll be putting into George’s distinctive slide guitar playing, which was essentially premiered on ATMP. Harrison may be the only significant slide guitarist in rock history whose melodic approach was not blues-based. Further, much of it was harmonized and multitracked. How will Kennedy approach that iconic, definitive sound? As is well-known to locals, Kennedy’s singing voice is a force of nature, fit for scaling the peaks of a Van Morrison or a Joe Cocker more than for Harrison’s insubstantial, vanishing tenor. And that is yet another pleasant mystery attending this show: How will the huge-voiced Kennedy adapt to the tiny-voiced Beatle? Inquiring minds want to know. – John Burdick Connor Kennedy Presents Cover-to-Cover George Harrison’s All Things Must Pass, Saturday, January 18, 9 p.m., $20 suggested donation, Bearsville Theater, 291 Tinker Street, Woodstock; (845) 6794406, www.bearsvilletheater.com.

he Hudson Valley’s most popular and successful original dance band, the Big Takeover, is a reggae band on paper. The band selfidentities as such, and it navigates the reggae, rocksteady and ska styles with unfaltering competence and conviction. But it is reggae with a broad view and a global pop inclusivity. On the Big Takeover’s stirring and stunning upcoming release, hints of R & B and Motown and subtle bossa undercurrents accent the default reggae style, all executed and arranged with great sonic imagination and attention to detail. Singer Nee Nee Rushie is never anything less than captivating and convincing. Based on some early sneak peaks, it seems that this New Paltz-born band has made a new record that is every bit the equal of their legendary live shows. The Big Takeover appears at the Falcon in Marlboro on Saturday, January 18. The doors open at 5:30 p.m., and the show starts at 7 with opener M’Bollo.

“We were watching Uptown Kingston being revitalized, and we wanted to be part of that. We found a spot there with great historic value: the old City Hotel building at 11 Main Street.”

New, Mexican Santa Fe serves authentic Mexican fare in Tivoli and Uptown Kingston

T

here’s more than one way to Santa Fe. It’s now double the fun, with two to chose from: the long-popular Tivoli institution or its newer little brother Santa Fe Uptown across the river. Both restaurants germinated more than a quarter-century ago, when their young creator David Weiss traveled around Mexico, meeting locals and soaking things in, absorbing an approach to food that lets simple fresh ingredients shine. Shortly thereafter, in Tivoli in the northwestern reaches of Dutchess County, the recent Bard grad opened a small Mexican restaurant to offer the authentic flavors of the Mexico that he loved to visit. Over the years since, Santa Fe has been a favorite gathering place for Bard students, locals and visitors. “I want to credit David for creating the whole concept,” says Annie Demosthenes, who in July 2012, with husband Jim and Weiss, opened the newer Kingston eatery (Weiss remains sole owner of the Tivoli venue). “After traveling around Mexico he brought back the idea of using fresh local ingredients, from the farm…and the menu is pretty much unchanged. Since Day One we’ve had a very authentic type of Mexican food – not what people might think of as Mexican…. we are not Americanized. The menu is limited so we can really concentrate on the individual ingredients, so the guests can really taste everything, not loaded down with sauces and cheeses…David created a menu that reflects fresh, healthy food.” Annie Demosthenes worked for Weiss for a few years in the 1990s, but when life got busier for her she still stayed a loyal customer, her favorite menu item the Oaxacan tacos: char-grilled chicken with homemade mole poblano, caramelized onions and white cheddar cheese ($14.95).

Santa Fe in Uptown Kingston

Later, with husband Jim – who co-owns Kingston’s Hillside Manor – Santa Fe was their favorite restaurant. “We’d always joke about bringing Santa Fe to the other side of the river,” she says. And then they started to think about it more seriously. “We started looking at locations,” Annie says, “and we were watching Uptown Kingston being revitalized, and we wanted to be part of that. We found a spot there with great historic value: the old City Hotel building at 11 Main Street.” It had been a restaurant for 60 years, one incarnation being Conca D’Oro, another Ugly Gus Café. Then, with Weiss, they opened Santa Fe Uptown. “We have a very authentic type of Mexican food,” says Annie. The menus at the Tivoli and Kingston branches are essentially the same but not absolutely identical, she says – understandable considering that one is a college-town institution and one a relative newbie in a historic spot in an up-and-coming section of a city. The Kingston restaurant has some items that began as specials, were

much-requested and are now mainstays on the menu, like the lobster quesadilla with lobster, cilantro, lime, white cheddar, green chilies and Spanish onions ($10.95; it can become an entrée with mixed organic greens, seasoned rice and black beans for an additional $5), which you won’t find in Tivoli. These days Demosthenes’ favorite is

the fish tacos, “maybe because my tastes have changed, maybe because I’m more health-conscious,” she says. Ahi tuna is marinated, seared and grilled, elements being red onion, cilantro, guacamole and white cheddar cheese. The fish can vary according to what’s freshest, and a grilled Baja-marinated shrimp version is available as well ($16.95 for either).

There are starters like blue masa-encrusted calamari with a chipotle/caper aioli, or a salad of sliced avocado over mixed greens with nopalitos (cactus paddles), arugula, tomato, cucumber and queso fresco with honey/lime vinaigrette. Or move into sopa del día or salads like the one with skewers of grilled shrimp marinated in cilantro and garlic over mixed organic greens with toasted pepitas and mango chipotle sauce ($16.95), a grilled chicken with fresh guacamole, queso fresco, sweet almonds and fresh tomatoes over greens ($14.95) or a roasted beet salad with warm goat cheese, grilled red onion, toasted pepitas and candied mango over greens with a mango vinaigrette dressing ($13.95). Dinner items are served with the mixed organic greens, seasoned rice and Santa Fe black beans, and could be slow-cooked pulled pork in tacos with caramelized onions and white cheddar cheese ($15.95), enchiladas típicos with achiote-grilled chicken, baby spinach, fresh tomatoes, queso fresco, salsa verde and white cheddar cheese ($14.95). Steaklovers will appreciate the Black Angus New York strip, char-grilled and served over caramelized onions with a guajillo chile sauce ($26.95).

Keegan Ales’ Old Capital, and there is a mind-boggling array of tequilas – dozens! – to sample, from simple, clear, unaged silver to honey-colored, oak-aged beauties. Try, for example, the roasted pineapple/figs/cedar aromas of Cuervo Platino ($11), or añejos like 1800, caramel/vanilla/toasted coconut ($8); Herradura, chamomile/cinnamon/pear ($9); or Don Julio, wild honey/vanilla/ butterscotch ($11). Design elements in the two spaces are similar, yet slightly different. “David designed the Tivoli Santa Fe originally, and then Kingston, too,” Annie says. “He has an eye for bright colors, like pink, and how to work other colors with it.” “Santa Fe in Tivoli holds about 30 more people,” she adds, with three rooms as opposed to Kingston’s cozier two, which still holds 80 diners. Uptown, however, has a big historic U-shaped bar from the 1950s that seats 20 occupying the entire middle of the restaurant. Tivoli’s bar holds about ten, but there is an open-concept kitchen where diners can watch the chefs cook. This past summer Kingston added an outdoor deck on the side of the building, with room for six or seven tables. “We were so excited to do that,” Annie says. “It helped in the summer, when people who might have otherwise passed Santa Fe by if they wanted to sit outside came in.” Tivoli also has a deck in the front, but with fewer tables. “We’re really excited to be a part of what we see happening Uptown these days,” says Annie. “Kingston is poised to have a revival, and we’re so happy to help add to the appeal of the area… It was a destination when I was a kid growing up, then later with the malls not so much. Now it’s back, and coming full circle.” – Jennifer Brizzi Santa Fe, 52 Broadway, Tivoli; (845) 757-4100, http://santafetivoli.com.

Ever wonder how candidates get on the ballot for a general election? Or how voter turnout can be improved? In order to discuss these and other voting-related issues, the League of Women Voters of the Mid-Hudson Region will offer an informational program, “State and Local Elections: Is There a Better Way?” on Saturday, January 25 from 1 to 2:30 p.m. at Esopus Town Hall at 284 Broadway in Port Ewen. Keynote speakers will be Tom Turco and Vic Work, Ulster County commissioners of elections. Their on-the-ground experience will help local League members prepare for a statewide League study on ballot access, which will examine the process by which candidates get on the ballot. Additional points covered will include the practice of candidates being endorsed by more than one political party, which practices lead to corruption and whether New York State voters have equal ballot access. The public is welcome and admission to the event is free. Light refreshments will be served. For more information, call (845) 339-1811.

colder and colder. For me, the longer days offset the increasing cold – only partially, though, because November to March bring the most overcast days here in the Northeast. The days, at least, are growing longer and longer by about a minute each day, early

this month, to over two minutes from one day to the next by the end of the month. It is at the end of this month that we plunge, on average, into our greatest depth of cold. My tack for making the most of cold weather is to enjoy it, by skiing and skating – and by going into my greenhouse. Inside, on sunny days, it’s a steaming, humid tropical retreat, even if temperatures are in the teens on the other side of the inflated double walls of plastic. I don’t get it: the undue attraction for baby leaves of lettuce, arugula and other greens for fresh salads. Truman Capote said that the rich are not like you and me; they eat smaller vegetables. Perhaps, deep down, eating tiny vegetables makes us feel rich. Not me. Right now, I’m thoroughly enjoying mature heads of fully grown romaine and Buttercrunch lettuce, picked fresh within an hour of being put into a salad bowl. The leaves are crunchy, sweet and, in the case of Buttercrunch, also buttery. That’s the luxury of a home greenhouse – in addition to the virtual trip to the tropics that it offers. Not that getting those heads of lettuce – as well as kale, chard, parsley, celery, mâche, claytonia and arugula – from the winter greenhouse takes no effort. Planning is perhaps the hardest part. The greenhouse might be tropical on a sunny day, but light inside is the same as outdoors – except less, because it needs to go through two layers of plastic film. Low light and, to a lesser extent, cool temperatures on nights and overcast days (the heater kicks in at 36 degrees Fahrenheit) make for little growth in the greenhouse in the dead of winter. My goal, then, is to fill the 400 square feet of space with plants that are just about large enough to harvest by early December. A home greenhouse does feel luxurious. So as not to be profligate, I eke everything that I can from the space. Inground fig trees there bear abundantly from August to October; then their leaves drop and they get pruned back, so that they cast no shade in winter. On the

benches I raise all my vegetable and flower seedlings. And melons and cucumbers sometimes trail on the ground beneath the figs all through summer. All this for only $680 per season, averaged over the past 11 years, as well as my labor (of love). So how much sunlight does shine within my greenhouse, or into the sunny south-facing windows of my home? Not much this time of year. Let’s quantify the light. One measure of light is the footcandle (fc), which is the amount of light cast on a square-foot area by a candle at a onefoot distance. You can get an estimate of this measure using a digital SLR camera. Set it on aperture priority with the aperture at f/8 and the ISO at 100. Hold a white sheet of paper so that whatever light you’re measuring falls directly on it, and measure the shutter-speed reading that the camera gives you (without a flash, obviously) for a good picture from about a foot away. Multiply the shutter speed times four for the approximate footcandles. Shutter speed is usually expressed as a fraction of a second, so a speed of “500” is really 1/500th of a second; for footcandles, you’d multiply 500 times four for 2,000 footcandles. If light is very dim, the shutter speed might be more than a second; no need to measure, in this case, because in such light any plant will barely stay alive. I recently took a few measurements. Outside, on a slightly overcast day, I measured 2,000 fc. Measurements were 1,000 fc right at a south-facing window and in the greenhouse, and 500 fc four feet back from the window. Light at a north-facing window measured 100 fc, and beneath a 27-watt fluorescent table lamp, 60 fc. A bright summer day bathes our beautiful planet with 10,000 fc of sunlight. No wonder plants indoors and out are just biding their time – not to mention the cold. – Lee Reich

Bolton Brown exhibition opens this Saturday in Woodstock

B

olton Brown was one of the three visionaries who made Woodstock into the colony of the arts. He was the site man who found the mountainside upon which Ralph Whitehead would build his Byrdcliffe experiment alongside Hervey White, who would later start up the nearby alternative Maverick colony. But before then, and long after, Brown was as a master printmaker and artist: a mantle that has been slowly restored to the man in recent years, and should get another big boost as Byrdcliffe launches its well-curated new exhibition, “Bolton Brown: Strength and Solitude,” on January 17 through March 2. Born during the Civil War in the Finger Lakes area, Brown gained a footing when he created the Art Department at Stanford University in California, where he befriended Sierra Club founder John Muir and became known as a hardtack mountaineer with a brittle personality. He was eventually fired by Stanford over a disagreement involving nude models, but by then had gotten to know Whitehead, who later fired him within two years of hiring him to help start Byrdcliffe. Originally a painter, with a work in the legendary Armory Show of 1913, Brown eventually became known as a master lithographer, a reputation earned for both his own work and his printmaking for others ranging from George Bellows to Rockwell Kent. He settled in Woodstock, but spent much time in the City, and ended up dying broke and alone in 1936, known as much for his personality failings as for the rigor of his work, which holds

up for its stark beauties to this day. Brown wrote about art, often in a harsh, technical manner; and in his own memoirs, including the essay “How I Shed My Religion,” Brown noted how his beliefs left him coldhearted to many, including his own father. Some said, for years, that it was this aspect of his being that kept him from being better-known – or collected – in his day. “As a propagandist I fell short,” he wrote late in life, looking back. “It seems an unfortunate fate to have tried so hard and so long to paint well enough to be worthy of my public, and then to find that instead of hitting that public taste, I paint way over their heads.” As part of this long-awaited return show in his former hometown, Bolton Brown’s changing legacy will be discussed in a pair of gallery talks on Saturday, January 18 by printmaker Ronald Netsky, professor of Art at Nazareth College, and Dr. Patricia Phagan, curator of Prints and Drawings at the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center at Vassar College. An optional reception will follow. The catalogue and curation are by Derin Tanyol. – Paul Smart “Bolton Brown: Strength and Solitude” opening, Saturday, January 18, 2:30 p.m., runs January 17-March 2, Kleinert/James Arts Center, 36 Tinker Street, Woodstock; (845) 679-2079, www. byrdcliffe.org.

Playing card art exhibition opens this Saturday in Catskill Like many, I have a routine whenever I need to get my creative mojo cleared and working on a new project. It involves playing cards (digital, now) in

a series of solitaire games that pit my will against the luck (or lack of it) in a day. It preps me for the wins and losses of life. It’s a system, I have found, shared by many people. Playing cards originated in Tang Dynasty China and made their way to Europe in the early 14th century, where they evolved into what we know of them today. Simultaneously, they influenced, and were changed by, the creation of the standard Tarot deck, which adds a card (the knight) to each of four suits, plus a trump suit of powered cards that have made it into the fortune-teller and home intuitive’s box of tricks as a great teller of truths. This weekend, the enterprising Greene County Council for the Arts (GCCA) will host what promises to be a lively opening for a fundraising exhibition of new artist designs for a full deck of cards (including jokers), with uniform backs for all designed by Catskill-based art superstar Kiki Smith. The work will be shown in original format, alongside artist decks of the full allotment, a series of special prints by Smith and several one-of-a-kind signed works by local artists. The show, titled “Playing with a Full Deck,” opens this Saturday, January 18 and runs through March 1 at the GCCA’s gallery on Main Street in Catskill. In the midst of its run there will be a special Charity Texas Hold ‘Em Poker Tournament, using the new decks, with a host of prizes. It ends with an auction of the 54 original works on March 1. The 54-card decks on view were created by 52 artists, including Gus Murphy, Polly Law, Portia Munson, Sam Pratt, Robert The and Norm Magnusson. The list is a veritable Who’s Who of the region’s scenes, including music and literature. The results are eclectic, fun and probably hard to play

with – at first, at least – but truly original and a great way of collecting an overview of the current arts scene. It has been curated by Fawn Potash (my wife), soon leaving the GCCA, from an original idea by author and librettist Deborah Artman. Decks and individual artworks will be for sale from $50 on up. Not a gambler? Look at it all as a fun investment, and a perfect bit of play for this winter season. – Paul Smart “Playing with a Full Deck” opening, Saturday, January 18, 5-7 p.m., Texas Hold ‘Em Poker Tournament, Saturday, February 8, 6 p.m., closing party/auction of original works, Saturday, March 1, 7 p.m., Greene County Council for the Arts gallery, 338 Main Street, Catskill; (518) 943-3400, www.greenearts.org.

n Friday, March 18, 2011, on the morning of the full Super Moon, legendary artist and cofounder of The Woodstock School of Art Robert H. Angeloch, died quietly at home. To his professional credit, over 75 one man shows, 25 illustrated books, notable awards from the likes of The Pollack-Krasner Foundation, the founding of an esteemed Woodstock

art gallery and art school, and the fervent admiration of generations of devoted art students. To his personal credit, he leaves a lasting legacy of art, beauty and a sustaining example, having led a life of purpose with unwavering determination and accomplishment. Born on April 8, 1922 in Richmond Hill, New York, Angeloch served in the US Air Corps and Army during World War II where he was a pilot,

studied to be an engineer and ended up in medical school. He studied at The Art Students League of New York from 1946-1951, where he first began painting with Yasuo Kuniyoshi and printmaking with Martin Lewis. He spent the summer of 1947 learning the craft of making woodcuts with Fiske Boyd and it was that summer that Angeloch first studied nature working out of doors. For this reason he recently Continued on Page 13

he Phoenicia Library was gutted by fire in the early morning hours of Saturday, March 19. Within three days, plans were already in place to open a temporary library on Saturday, March 26, in the building recently vacated by Maverick Family Health, across from the Phoenicia post office. “It’ll be a bare-bones operation,” cautioned library director Tracy Priest. “We’re restoring minimal services, but we want to open our doors. People can return library books and pick up books they’ve ordered from interlibrary loan. From the Mid-Hudson Library System, we’re borrowing a computer and components we need to check books in and out. We’ll open at 10 a.m., and Letter Friends, the early literacy program, will happen at its normal time, 11 a.m. We’re looking eventually to have a small lending library, which may be on the honor system, since all our bar codes were destroyed in the fire.” Writing classes and other programs scheduled for later in the spring will be held as planned. It looks like at least a couple of computers will be donated for use by patrons. The blaze was reported to have come from an electri-

cal fire, which started in the back of the building. “We don’t have a full report on the extent of the damage,” said Priest, who visited the building after the fire with the insurance adjuster and Town of Shandaken supervisor Rob Stanley. “The adjuster said there has to be a second claims adjustment because it’s considered a major loss. We don’t think any books or materials will be salvageable. But because of the location of the fishing collection, we may be able to clean some of that and save it.” The Jerry Bartlett Memorial Angling Collection includes more than 500 fishing and nature books, plus an exhibit of fishing rods, lures, fly tying gear, and photographs. “The books are a mess,” said Priest. “Everything is fused together and melted. What’s in the front of the building has been damaged by smoke and water, but everything there is like we left it. Then you cross a line towards the back, and everything is black. There’s a hole of the ceiling of the children’s room, and you can look right up into my office upstairs. Everything from my desk is on the floor Continued on Page 7

he latest Onteora Central School District 2011-2012 budget proposal does not include massive layoffs as might be seen in other districts, but does feature the elimination of six teacher positions and reductions to part-time of another five, among job cuts in many sectors. The cuts are seen as a reaction to declining enrollment, but also contribute to a total plan that increases spending by only 0.87 percent, that would translate, based on revenue figures, to a 3.9 percent levy increase. At the Tuesday, March 22 board of education meeting at Woodstock Elementary, school officials presented The Superintendent’s Recommended Budget to trustees that includes an increase in spending to a total of $50,477,497. If the board adopts the budget at its April 5 session, voters will be asked to vote on the budget on May 17. If voters reject the budget proposal, a contingency (or austerity) budget could be put in place that would eliminate $121,785 from the equipment budget line, as mandated by the

with the help of her husband and her Uncle Chris, brings up the children in a modest San Francisco home during the early years of the century. Mama, with sweetness and capability, sees her children through childhood, managing to educate them and to see one of her daughters begin a career as a writer. Mama’s sisters and uncle furnish a rich

background for a great deal of comedy and a little incidental tragedy. Tickets are $15 for general admission, $8 for students on opening night only, $12 for seniors/students and advanced sales and $10 for members/groups.

N TUESDAY, NOV. 6, not only will residents vote on numerous contended races -- most notably being who shall become the president of the US -- but there will also be a plethora of local votes cast for federal, state, county and municipal political leaders. In the Town of Lloyd, the only local referendum on the ballot is for voters to decide whether or not the town clerk, town highway superintendent and town supervisor should have their two-year terms extended to four years. These are all separate referenda, as suggested by Lloyd supervisor Paul Hansut, who said that he wants to give “voters a chance to weigh in on each and every position, and not lump them all together, as many towns have done in the past.” The idea behind the four-year term, according to Hansut, is to give those elected to office “enough time to get familiar with the nuts and bolts of the job, Continued on page 12

hen Jenny Lee Fowler moved from Oregon in 1997, she decided to mark each snowfall that first winter in the East by cutting a snowflake out of paper. Being a person who makes things by hand, it seemed like a fun thing to do. Then, like the icy flakes that drift lazily on the wind before becoming a full-fledged storm, the act of cutting paper snowflakes took on a momentum of its own as Fowler became fascinated with the folk tradition of papercutting. One day, her father-in-law asked her if she’d ever done a portrait, like the silhouettes created by folk artists. Her interest piqued, Fowler dared herself to cut 100 portraits of people. Beginning with friends and family, she later moved on to cutting portraits of strangers, who would sit for her at the campus center at Bard, where Fowler worked. “I practiced a lot and found that I totally loved it,” says Fowler. “It kind of surprised me because I’d thought of silhouette portraits as these kind of ‘stuffy’ things, and then I realized that they were really cross-sections of people at a moment in time. I started to see them as more dynamic.” Fowler came across a passage in which one of the early papercutters called silhouette portraits “a moment’s monument,” a description that she finds particularly apt. “They really do capture a little moment, and even the same person can have a different portrait the next day,” Fowler explains. Artful papercutting is now Fowler’s niche, and the Continued on page 13

ALMANAC WEEKLY

NIGHT SKY

Stormy weather Sun explosions and auroras right here

L

ast week’s huge X-class solar flare did not give us auroras – because we never had a chance. Thursday night turned cloudy early, and the solar material wasn’t scheduled to reach us until the wee hours, after rain had started. But much more can happen when such giant Coronal Mass Ejections from the Sun reach our planet. My recent book, The Sun’s Heartbeat, has a chapter crammed with dramatic examples. Let me share a few with you. (Yes, it’s shameless plug, but I can’t help it.) First, we’ve not seen anything as powerful as the Sun explosions of 1859 and 1921, which knocked people unconscious and caused raging fires. When we get that kind of storm again – next month or in 50 years, nobody knows – it could knock out our electrical infrastructure to the tune of one to two trillion dollars’ worth of damage, according to a special workshop of solar experts held in 2008. Even the relatively minor storms of the past 30 years created lots of trouble. On March 13, 1989, a quarter of Canada’s population suffered a paralyzing blackout from a solar storm. Meanwhile, highway engineers had their ultra-precise GPS units go crazy, resulting in a road paved in the wrong place, whose concrete later had to be ripped up. The Galaxy 15 satellite, an engineering wonder sending highdefinition TV signals for cable providers, suddenly lost all commands from its controllers on the ground. Every other aspect of the orbiting machine was still operating, but its utter deafness to humans meant that it would soon drift useless: a total loss. This explosion was first observed on March 11 in the middle of the Sun’s disc, facing us, so that the squirming swarm of disemboweled protons and electrons was aimed precisely in our direction. High-energy electromagnetic radiation was also unleashed – this at light-speed, so that it whooshed to our world in only 8 ½ minutes and instantly disrupted radio broadcasts. The Berlin Wall was destined to fall later that very year, but for now the Cold War was still very much alive and the CIA assumed that this sudden jamming of Radio Free Europe into Russia was the work of Soviet electronics specialists. Instead, and recognized by no one, it was the first sign that we were under attack from the nearest star. Two days later, on Sunday night, the enormous swarm of solar particles struck our planet’s magnetic field at a thousand miles a second. The cloud of charged particles had its own magnetism, and by a 50/50 chance its polarity was aligned opposed to our own: the only configuration that would allow it to transfer its energy to us, rather than being guided harmlessly around our world by our protective magnetosphere. The solar detritus, channeled along our field lines, swarmed into our atmosphere near the poles. Instantly it created enormous electrical currents in the high thin air, which

gave birth to the most spectacular displays of the Northern Lights seen in many years. You didn’t need to be in Alaska. They flickered brilliantly over our skies here in upstate New York from horizon to horizon. They were vivid even in the skies over Florida and the Caribbean. While compasses went crazy, electrical currents began surging along the Earth beneath the displays. Garage doors throughout the continent started going up and down, and continued all night long. The ground itself sizzled; areas with high concentrations of igneous rock, like most of Canada’s eastern half, experienced geomagnetically induced currents in all power transmission lines. At 2:44 a.m. on March 13, the Sun-induced surges started creating havoc in Quebec’s electrical power grid. The 100-ton capacitor Number 12 at the Chibougamau substation tripped and went offline. Two seconds later a second capacitor blew, and then 100 miles away at the Albanel and Nemiskau stations four more capacitors went offline. When yet another went offline, and five transmission lines from James Bay tripped, the entire 9,460-megawatt output from Hydro-Quebec’s La Grande Hydroelectric Complex was cut off. Within a minute the Quebec power grid had collapsed. The province of Quebec was blacked out. Three million people were in darkness. The workweek began with the Montreal Metro silent and useless. The city’s main airport, Dorval, stripped of its radars, also closed. In all cases, the underlying cause is the Sun’s complex magnetic field, which contains regions that can disconnect with a snap, unleashing the power of thousands of H-bombs and hurl billions of tons of broken atom fragments into space. But we won’t know the all-important magnetic polarity of the cloud of debris until it is physically sampled by the SOHO satellite a million miles sunward of us, and by then we have only a couple of hours’ warning. In 2003, a solar event now called “the Halloween storm” increased radiation enough to make airlines expensively redirect all their polar routes, and caused the loss of a $640 million spacecraft. It knocked out the power to parts of Sweden as well. So yes, Sun storms can definitely affect us to create damage – which is the bad news – or gorgeous aurorae over our region. That’s the bright side of the Sun’s spasmodic violence. – Bob Berman Want to know more?

Beacon hosts musical Dr. King Parade The Dr. King Parade in Beacon on Monday, January 20 is a short musical parade for Martin Luther King Day, with songs including “Oh Wallace,” “If You Miss Me at the Back of the Bus” and “We Shall Overcome”: all songs from the 1965 Selma-to-Montgomery marches.

Shandaken Primitive Biathlon in Oliverea Love snowshoeing and want to kick things up a notch? Need a cure for cabin fever? Pull out your snowshoes and black-powder, muzzle-loading firearm and head over to the 17 th annual Shandaken Primitive Biathlon! The biathlon takes place on Sunday, January 19 from 9 a.m. to 12 noon at the Upper Esopus Fish & Game Club. The 1.25-mile course includes four shooting stations with two shots per station. It’s a timed event, but you can shave one minute from your total just by wearing 1800s attire. Prizes will be awarded to the winners in each of the four age groups: 12 to 16 years; 17 to 40 years; 41 to 59 years; and 60 years and over. Participants may also opt for an untimed woodswalk division for those interested in snowshoeing and shooting the course. Tomahawk and Sharpshooter competitions will be included as separate events. Day-of biathlon registration costs $18; the woodswalk costs $12. The Upper Esopus Fish & Game Club is located on Little Peck Hollow Road in Oliverea. For more information, call Paul at (845) 246-3954, Vince at (845) 6885560 or Ed at (845) 339-3449, or visit www.shandakenprimitivebiathlon.net.

Two snowshoe tours of Minnewaska To me, snowshoeing feels like the winter equivalent of kayaking. I can walk around and explore the woods freely and quietly, catching animal sightings and other moments in nature that I might not be able to achieve otherwise. Here are two excursions to consider at Minnewaska State Park Preserve, located at 5281 Route 44/55 in Kerhonkson. First, on Sunday, January 19 from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., take a hike along the Mossy Glen Trail, including the newly replaced Blueberry Run footbridge that was lost during Hurricane Irene. Dress

for the weather, and pack a lunch and water or a hot beverage as well as snow boots or waterproof hiking boots in case snow conditions are poor. Preregistration is required, and children and youth under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. A limited number of snowshoes are available on loan to registrants, so space is limited to early signups. To register, to inquire about fees or for more information, call (201) 512-9348, extension 16 or visit http://nynjtc.org/event/snowshoe-hikeminnewaska. Second, on Monday, January 20 from 1 to 3 p.m., take a two-mile-long snowshoe loop hike of Beacon Hill along two carriage roads and one hiking trail with Laura Conner, environmental educator. Preregistration is required. Snowshoes may be rented from the Park Preserve Office, located at the Peterskill climbing area at 5281 Route 44/55 in Kerhonkson. “Please note, once ski trails are groomed, the entrance fee for this area of the Park Preserve is $6 per adult and $5 per junior. The Empire Passport will not be accepted.” To register, call (845) 255-0752 or visit http://nysparks.com.

Within three days, plans were already in place to open a temporary library on Saturday, March 26, in the building recently vacated by Maverick Family Health, across from the Phoenicia post office. “It’ll be a bare-bones operation,” cautioned library director Tracy Priest. “We’re restoring minimal services, but we want to open our doors. People can return library books and pick up books they’ve ordered from interlibrary loan. From the Mid-Hudson Library System, we’re borrowing a computer and components we need to check books in and out. We’ll open at 10 a.m., and Letter Friends, the early literacy program, will happen at its normal time, 11 a.m. We’re looking eventually to have a small lending library, which may be on the honor system, since all our bar codes were destroyed in the fire.” Writing classes and other programs scheduled for later in the spring will be held as planned. It looks like at least a couple of computers will be donated for use by patrons. The blaze was reported to have come from an electri-

cal fire, which started in the back of the building. “We don’t have a full report on the extent of the damage,” said Priest, who visited the building after the fire with the insurance adjuster and Town of Shandaken supervisor Rob Stanley. “The adjuster said there has to be a second claims adjustment because it’s considered a major loss. We don’t think any books or materials will be salvageable. But because of the location of the fishing collection, we may be able to clean some of that and save it.” The Jerry Bartlett Memorial Angling Collection includes more than 500 fishing and nature books, plus an exhibit of fishing rods, lures, fly tying gear, and photographs. “The books are a mess,” said Priest. “Everything is fused together and melted. What’s in the front of the building has been damaged by smoke and water, but everything there is like we left it. Then you cross a line towards the back, and everything is black. There’s a hole of the ceiling of the children’s room, and you can look right up into my office upstairs. Everything from my desk is on the floor Continued on Page 7

INETY MILES OFF Broadway will present “I Remember Mama” at the New Paltz Reformed Church on Nov. 2, Nov. 3, Nov. 9 and Nov. 10 at 7:30 p.m. and Nov. 11 at 2 p.m. The play will also be performed at the First United Methodist Church in Highland on Nov. 17 at 7:30 p.m. The story shows how Mama,

with the help of her husband and her Uncle Chris, brings up the children in a modest San Francisco home during the early years of the century. Mama, with sweetness and capability, sees her children through childhood, managing to educate them and to see one of her daughters begin a career as a writer. Mama’s sisters and uncle furnish a rich

background for a great deal of comedy and a little incidental tragedy. Tickets are $15 for general admission, $8 for students on opening night only, $12 for seniors/students and advanced sales and $10 for members/groups. For additional information, e-mail email@ninetymilesoffbroadway.com or call 256-9657.

N TUESDAY, NOV. 6, not only will residents vote on numerous contended races -- most notably being who shall become the president of the US -- but there will also be a plethora of local votes cast for federal, state, county and municipal political leaders. In the Town of Lloyd, the only local referendum on the ballot is for voters to decide whether or not the town clerk, town highway superintendent and town supervisor should have their two-year terms extended to four years. These are all separate referenda, as suggested by Lloyd supervisor Paul Hansut, who said that he wants to give “voters a chance to weigh in on each and every position, and not lump them all together, as many towns have done in the past.” The idea behind the four-year term, according to Hansut, is to give those elected to office “enough time to get familiar with the nuts and bolts of the job, Continued on page 12

Coming to terms

by Lisa Childers he latest Onteora Central School District 2011-2012 budget proposal does not include massive layoffs as might be seen in other districts, but does feature the elimination of six teacher positions and reductions to part-time of another five, among job cuts in many sectors. The cuts are seen as a reaction to declining enrollment, but also contribute to a total plan that increases spending by only 0.87 percent, that would translate, based on revenue figures, to a 3.9 percent levy increase. At the Tuesday, March 22 board of education meeting at Woodstock Elementary, school officials presented The Superintendent’s Recommended Budget to trustees that includes an increase in spending to a total of $50,477,497. If the board adopts the budget at its April 5 session, voters will be asked to vote on the budget on May 17. If voters reject the budget proposal, a contingency (or austerity) budget could be put in place that would eliminate $121,785 from the equipment budget line, as mandated by the

W

hen Jenny Lee Fowler moved from Oregon in 1997, she decided to mark each snowfall that first winter in the East by cutting a snowflake out of paper. Being a person who makes things by hand, it seemed like a fun thing to do. Then, like the icy flakes that drift lazily on the wind before becoming a full-fledged storm, the act of cutting paper snowflakes took on a momentum of its own as Fowler became fascinated with the folk tradition of papercutting. One day, her father-in-law asked her if she’d ever done a portrait, like the silhouettes created by folk artists. Her interest piqued, Fowler dared herself to cut 100 portraits of people. Beginning with friends and family, she later moved on to cutting portraits of strangers, who would sit for her at the campus center at Bard, where Fowler worked. “I practiced a lot and found that I totally loved it,” says Fowler. “It kind of surprised me because I’d thought of silhouette portraits as these kind of ‘stuffy’ things, and then I realized that they were really cross-sections of people at a moment in time. I started to see them as more dynamic.” Fowler came across a passage in which one of the early papercutters called silhouette portraits “a moment’s monument,” a description that she finds particularly apt. “They really do capture a little moment, and even the same person can have a different portrait the next day,” Fowler explains. Artful papercutting is now Fowler’s niche, and the Continued on page 13
