One of Pete Seeger’s final undertakings was to ensure that his adopted home of Beacon would commemorate Dr. King’s legacy annually in a meaningful and participatory way, with a “singing parade” on the holiday itself.
Reverend G. Modele Clarke of Kingston’s New Progressive Baptist Church, activists and performers will convene at the Woodstock Justice Court on Sunday afternoon to present a program centered on the theme of “What Would King Say?”
Oyelowo deserves every accolade for this performance in Selma. He has thoroughly internalized King’s magnificent gift for compelling oratory, the preacher’s fire-andbrimstone cadences, the meticulous diction, the voice as resonant as a pipe organ.
“We are all friends of different composers, and we wanted to perform their music. I’ve always wanted to play Joan Tower’s Piano Quintet... Eugenia wanted to play a piece by Amy Beach... There is so much wonderful and unknown music by women composers”

“Extreme Surfaces” opens this Saturday at GCCA Catskill Gallery “Extreme Surfaces,” a new exhibit of regional artists with national and international acclaim running through February at the Greene County Council on the Arts Catskill Gallery with a reception this Saturday, explores the idea of surface from all angles: of paintings, terrain, materials, our culture, what lies beneath and what is presented. There will be a Portia Munson “shrine” to the idea of the garden, John Lees’s multilayered paintings created over decades, Lorie Fredette’s wax suture works and works by a couple of dozen other top regional talents, all exploring and challenging “ideas of boundaries, beauty, erosion and skin.” – Paul Smart “Extreme Surfaces” opening reception, Saturday, January 17, 5-7 p.m., through February 28, free, Greene County Council for the Arts Gallery, 398 Main Street, Catskill; (518) 943-3400, www. greenearts.org.

Pointed pointillism Sunday in the Park with George at Center for Performing Arts at Rhinebeck
P
erhaps it’s mere coincidence that Centerstage Productions, the theater company-in-residence at the Center for Performing Arts at Rhinebeck, decided to schedule a production of the Stephen Sondheim/James Lapine musical Sunday in the Park with George so soon after the release of the new film version of Into the Woods, written and composed by the same dynamic duo. Or maybe there’s something in the current zeitgeist that is fostering a reawakened appreciation of Sondheim’s body of work. In any case, it should be fun to take in the two revivals in quick succession, compare and contrast. There are certainly structural similarities: Both shows tell a complete story in the first act and revisit its unforeseen consequences in the second. Into the Woods begins and ends with an ill-considered wish; Sunday in the Park with George with an enticingly blank canvas. And thematically, both address questions of personal isolation and how extremity and need (and sometimes art) can force people to break through it to see others clearly and empathize with them better. The original 1984 Broadway production of Sunday in the Park with George was nominated for 11 Tony Awards, won the New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award for Outstanding Musical and a Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Sondheim’s friend and sometime collaborator Leonard Bernstein described the score as “brilliant, deeply conceived, canny, magisterial.” The Centerstage revival, which opened last Friday and runs weekends through January 25, is directed by Andy Weintraub with musical direction by Paul and JoAnne Shubert. Joshuah Patriarco stars as Georges Seurat/George and Alex Heinen as Dot/Marie. Tickets cost $27 and $25, with a Friday Night Special rate of $20 for all seats being offered on January 16 only. Curtain time is 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, January 16, 17, 23 and 24, with 3 p.m. matinées on Sunday, January 18 and 25.

Birdman – or, much closer to home, the character of Sam Peliczowski, the protagonist of Fully Committed, Half Moon Theatre’s latest production at the Culinary Institute of America’s Marriott Pavilion Theatre in Hyde Park. This one-man show charts a year in the life of the greeter at an incredibly hot Manhattan restaurant, and stars Wayne Pyle as Peliczowski, along with some 40 other characters ranging from a maitre d’ and chef to scheming celebrities and socialites plotting for a table at the reservationsonly restaurant. Brendan Burke, artistic director at Ellenville’s legendary Shadowland Theatre, has directed the production. The show runs January 16 to 25, closing out the CIA’s first theater season, with a special tie-in dining option at the Culinary Institute’s Caterina de’ Medici restaurant and both pre- and aprèsshow additions accompanying most performances. – Paul Smart

I’ve always wanted to play Joan Tower’s Piano Quintet, so I asked the Kleio Quartet, and they agreed to join me. Eugenia wanted to play a piece by Amy Beach for flute and string quartet.

Although the composer/friends are all living, the performers decided to mix contemporary works with music by earlier women composers. Thus Eugenia Zukerman the program includes songs by CĂŠcile Chaminade, Clara Schumann and Fanny Mendelssohn-Hensel. Four of the contemporary composers will introduce their music: Tower, Victoria Bond, Paula M. Kimper and Karen Lefrak. The program also includes music by 2013 Pulitzer Prizewinner Caroline Shaw and Elaine Fine. At present the concert is planned as a one-time event. “But if the audience is excited,â€?

photographic portraits being shown with the results of multiple interviews of workers and survivors of the epidemic in a clinic in rural Liberia – all originally shot for The New York Times last autumn, just as the epidemic was about to affect our own electoral process – brings to vivid light this international public health emergency that has seen over 5,177 die, including 200 health care workers, out of 15,000 infected. Berehulak spent more than five weeks covering the ebola crisis, during which he was required to seal off every part of his body in the 35 Personal Protective Suits, 300 pairs of gloves, tape and surgical face masks that were part of his venturing into high-risk areas, along with long declothing procedures that would

A
t the small Team Love record label headquarters and RavenHouse Gallery in New Paltz, I have seen experimental cellists and feedback sculptors, indie prog bands and solo performers so caterwauling, cathartic and loud of voice and of amp that Lemmy Kilmeister might have even noticed that they were in the same room. Team Love, in other words, is not afraid to pair literally any kind of music with the wine, cheese and grapes of an opening. On Monday, January 19, three bands will once again test the spatial and sonic limits of the charming Church Street space when the New York City band Alice appears with Bard’s Jawbreaker Reunion and the New Jersey based mood-folk project Trace Mountains. Jawbreaker Reunion, it should be noted, is not an actual reunion of the influential ’90s punk group, but rather a lively and irreverent quartet from the Bard milieu. They play a delirious basement pop/ punk distinguished by lo-fi defiance and by genuinely strong tunes, surreal lyrics and savvy ensemble moves.

“Tearing Down Posters,” the longest song on 2014’s joyride Lutheran Sisterhood Gun Club, clocks in at 2:31. The doubletime driving punk of “Beer and Loathing” lifts off with a genuine singalong chorus worthy of Titus Andronicus and/or the Pogues. The singers are relegated to the basement of these mixes, but time spent with the lyric sheet will be richly rewarded. What are ultimately so winning and beautiful about Lutheran Sisterhood Gun Club’s ten tracks are their rapid bipolar vacillations between straightup collegiate partying and straight-up collegiate fretting, jonesing and moping. – John Burdick Alice/Jawbreaker Reunion/Trace Mountains, Monday, January 19, 6 p.m., all ages, $5, Team Love RavenHouse Gallery, 11 Church Street, New Paltz.

MUSIC
JOYCE MANOR PLAYS BSP IN KINGSTON
J
oyce Manor, a nationally popular quartet from Torrance, California, plays pop punk with exactly the kind of melodies and snotty-but-vulnerable singsong delivery that you are hearing in your head right now. Their lyrics, as you have already surmised, are funny, self-effacing, simultaneously ironic and sincere, more hurt than hurtful, concerned with love and the paradoxes of punk values. Their early EPs, as you would guess, are fizzy, abrasive and small-sounding, but possessed of an ecstatic energy and drive that appeal straight to the basement show in your heart; their latest, Never Hungover Again on Asian Man Records, boasts the big bottom and groomed high-end sheen of a major-label debut without sacrificing an iota of their brevity or their wit. There is more tambourine on Never Hungover Again and a sensibly (not radically) expanded dynamic range and groove palette; but Joyce Manor knows precisely what itch they scratch, and they do not venture far from the spot. Joyce Manor is also one of the bigger fishes reeled in by BSP in the last year, though perhaps a little off-axis for the Kingston club that helped break Lucius, Future Islands and more ascending stars of the smartypants world of contemporary indie rock. When Joyce Manor packs BSP on Friday, January 16, they’ll be accompanied by Quarterbacks: a New Paltz trio, recent Team Love Records signee and practitioners of an absurdly smart and inventive take on the pop/punk thing. In what appears to be an odd juxtaposition, the mad-talented new Americana rock singer/songwriter Laura Stevenson, fresh off several months of touring the US and Europe with her band, opens the show with a solo set. Appearances be damned: For all her range and sensitivity as a writer and recording artist, Stevenson’s antecedents are in that pop/punk world; her label, Don Giovanni Records, is the one that brought us the Ergs, Screaming Females and many other somewhat non-traditional punk luminaries, and her full-band shows make no secret of her pop/punk club affiliation. – John Burdick Joyce Manor/Quarterbacks/Laura Stevenson, Friday, January 16, 8 p.m., 16+ (under 18 w/ adult), $15, BSP, 323 Wall Street, Kingston; www.bspkingston.com.

Contact). This production promises to be a visual treat of the highest order. Stroman and her design team of Julian Crouch (Satyagraha, The Enchanted Island) and costume designer William Ivey Long (Cinderella, Grey Gardens, Hairspray) have created an art-nouveau setting that climaxes with singing and dancing grisettes at the legendary Maxim’s.

CHANGE DOES NOT ROLL IN on the wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous struggle.” – Martin Luther King, Jr.

B
y 1923, the field of aviation was still new and exciting, just two decades removed from the Wright brothers’ historic 12-second flight over the beach at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. Barnstorming pilots traveled from town to town performing death-defying stunts, and the romantic image of air travel in the 1920s had people not only looking up to the skies
in wonder, but also imagining what their everyday worlds would look like as seen from above. And since not many at the time were able to go up in an “aeroplane” themselves, this only increased the public’s fascination with aerial photography. But many of the photographic images at the time that were taken from planes – the technology developed for purposes of aerial reconnaissance during World

War I – were not of the highest quality. Shutter speeds on the available cameras were too slow in relationship to the speed of the plane. Not so for the dirigible; these airships commonly used in aviation at the time had the ability to hover in one place, making them ideal for taking aerial photographs (a short-lived advantage, as it turned out; commercial travel by dirigible ended with the dramatic fire on the hydrogen-filled Hindenburg in 1937, scaring off future travelers despite the fact that most people on board did survive). Lithographers in the 1920s saw a market in the public’s interest in aerial views and took to producing lithographic maps based on aerial photographs of cities.

The idea was to sell the prints to residents and tourists alike. One such lithograph, Aero-View of Hudson, New York, has now been reproduced as an archival-quality inkjet print to be sold to raise funds for the new Hudson Library, currently in the midst of a $2 million fundraising campaign in order to shift its premises to the spacious Armory building. The original 1923 litho, part of the historical collection of the Hudson Area Library, was carefully cleaned and restored prior to reproduction. The dirigible-eye view renders details of the entire City of Hudson as well as 20 close-up views of individual buildings, including the 1818 stone structure on State Street that currently houses the library and its future home, the Hudson Armory. In addition, the map depicts a Hudson River ferryboat and documents the riverfront at a time when it was supporting area industry. The archival inkjet print, measuring 43 by 22 inches, is available in a museum-quality frame with conservation glass for $450 or unframed for $150 at Hudson City Books at 553 Warren Street. The bookstore is donating all proceeds from sales of the map to the Hudson Area Library. The construction to convert the first floor of the Hudson Armory to house the new library is being paid for by the Galvan Charitable Trust and Initiatives

13 Plays by 13 Playwrights to benefit Rhinecliff library
T
he Morton Memorial Library & Community House in Rhinecliff will both host and benefit from a two-part performance this weekend of “13 Plays by 13 Playwrights,” a compendium of ten-minute plays and monologues written and acted by members of the local theater arts consortium known as Hudson Valley Playwrights. The group is one of those vital institutions that primes the collective pump for new plays by holding an annual competition, the Short Play Festival, scheduled this year to happen in May. But while they’re soliciting and evaluating entries for the spring playwriting contest, the regulars at this local bastion of dramaturgy are going to spotlight their own new works and raise a bit of money for the upkeep of the historic 1908 building and its many services to the community. Beginning at 7:30 p.m. this Saturday, January 17, Hudson Valley Playwrights will perform Labradors in Heat by Wally Carbone, Ten Minutes by Paul Cooper, Waxer by Carol Elkins, Where Dreams Were Born by Elisabeth Henry, Need Not Apply by Lisa Kimball and A Day at Saratoga by Peter Pius. The second half of this mini-festival continues at 3 p.m. this Sunday, January 18. On the program will be Blue Skies by Marvin Cotlar, Sex @ 70 by Ellen O’Neill, Almost Home by Elaine Fernandez, The “H” Word by Karen Rich, The Interview by James O’Neill, Tall Tales by Susan Curry and Th’ List by Bill Duncan. Tickets to these staged readings cost $10 each, $15 for the whole weekend and will be sold at the door. Call (845) 217-0734 if you wish to reserve a seat. For a description of the plays, more information about this weekend’s program, Hudson Valley Playwrights’ regular Thursday playwriting workshops and how to enter the 2015 Short Play Festival, visit www.hudsonvalleyplaywrights.com.

Foundation, which offers grants to charitable organizations in Hudson and encourages architectural preservation and conservation. A new Hudson Senior Center will occupy the second floor of the building, which has functioned as an armory for the National Guard and hosted high school proms, auto shows, wrestling matches, Harlem Globetrotters basketball and most recently, the Armory Art and Antique Gallery. The space formerly occupied by the antique gallery will be repurposed as a flexible open floorplan for a 12,000-square-foot library that will include an 80-seat community meeting
room. The history collection will be housed in the large turret at the southwest corner of the building, and classrooms and administrative offices will be located in the front of the Armory. A handicapped-accessible ramp will be built at the entrance portico. The new library will be constructed in keeping with the historical character of the building, blending historic elements with the latest
technology, including an HVAC system that is cost-effective to install, maintain and run. But even with the Galvan Foundation paying for construction costs of renovating the Armory – and giving the library a 30year lease at $1 per month – the Hudson Area Library has estimated the costs of furnishing the new library at an additional $1.4 million, rounding that figure up to
Bridal
Party & Bridal Expo Dutchess Manor,
$2 million to enlarge the collections, hire new staff and build an endowment for the future. According to the assistant library director, Marie Stark, the library has raised $850,000 as of last week. “We’re almost halfway to our goal,” she says. “The funding for the campaign comes from a grant from New York State, gifts and pledges from individuals and businesses and various fundraisers.” The original projected opening date of this spring has been moved back to the fall. “We’ve had a few minor issues that have set us back,” says Stark, “minor construction things and some asbestos at the Armory that had to be taken care of. We’re looking to update everything to current standards.” The Hudson Area Library is chartered to serve Hudson and Greenport, she says, a population of 10,878, and the library serves other regional residents and visitors to the area as well. Approximately 40 percent of the funds are earmarked for bookshelves, computers, furniture, lighting and cabinets, tablets and e-readers and a self-checkout station. The balance of the funds will go toward staff and expanded programming, adding more lectures, book readings, performances and classes. A portion of the funds will also be set aside for a long-term reserve account. Trustees have estimated that the current library building at 400 State Street – originally a poorhouse, then an insane asylum, an art academy for women, a private residence for a two-term mayor of Hudson and finally an orphans’ home before it became the library in 1959 – would require millions of dollars to bring the building up to legally required modern safety and environmental standards. The building was sold in 2011 to the Galvan Foundation, resulting in a net profit of $173,000 for the library to put toward the costs of the new space. When the library moves out of the building, the Galvan Foundation will move its offices to 400 State Street.

WHILE LBJ AND MLK DIDN’T SEE ENTIRELY EYE-TO-EYE on tactics and timing, the real-life Johnson was not nearly the oppositional force to be overcome that he’s portrayed as in this movie.
Still from Selma (left to right): Colman Domingo as Ralph Abernathy; David Oyelowo as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.; André Holland as Andrew Young;& Stephan James as John Lewis.
Oyelowo’s Oscar-worthy performance Martin Luther King’s magnificent oratory comes to life on the screen in Selma
T
he producers and distributors of Selma got their timing down perfectly – in some ways that were undoubtedly planned and others purely fortuitous. This fine film about a critical juncture in the unfolding of the American Civil Rights movement was released on the festival circuit in late 2014, in time to qualify for some Oscar nominations, but didn’t hit the theaters until a couple of weeks before Martin Luther King Day, with Black History Month just around the corner. What could not have been foreseen by Ava DuVernay, Paramount Pictures, Oprah Winfrey et alia was the impact that a rapid succession of incidents of killings of unarmed black youths by white police officers would have on the American psyche in the months leading up to the film’s release. Familiarity with the concept of “the new Jim Crow” is no longer limited to black intellectuals and sociologists, but increasingly widespread food for thought for people of conscience of all
colors across the land. For all the change that has happened since 1965, when the movie is set, it has become increasingly clear within the past year that racism remains stubbornly entrenched in many of our institutions. Selma serves up certified bad guys of the past like J. Edgar Hoover (Dylan Baker), George Wallace (Tim Roth) and Sheriff Jim Clark (Stan Houston), but, unfortunately, in the interests of drama, director DuVernay and screenwriter Paul Webb make their most serious historical misstep by lumping in president Lyndon Baines Johnson with these obstacles to human progress. It might legitimately be said that Selma is to the Voting Rights Act what the movie Lincoln is to the 13th Amendment to the US Constitution; but this Johnson is no Lincoln by a long shot. While LBJ and MLK didn’t see entirely eye-to-eye on tactics and timing, the real-life Johnson was not nearly the oppositional force to be overcome that he’s portrayed as in this movie. And he wasn’t the one who sicced FBI wiretappers
on Martin Luther King and other Civil Rights movement leaders (believe it or not, that was actually attorney general Robert F. Kennedy). It doesn’t help matters much that Tom Wilkinson is miscast in the role of the president. T he e xcellent British actor, who has successfully portrayed both Benjamin Franklin and Joe Kennedy in the past, manages to hide his Britishness neatly but not to sound Texan at all. And he fails to capture the distinctive mix of crude-but-charming, tall-tale-telling folksiness and hardnosed political pragmatism that those of us old enough to remember the LBJ administration came to know so well.
It isn’t as if the plot of Selma even needed this exaggerated dialectic between King and Johnson as a central conflict to pump up the drama for the screen’s sake. Even without it, the story has conflicts aplenty: The second scene in the movie powerfully depicts the tragic Birmingham church bombing in which four young girls were killed. We see black Southerners being roughed up when they try to vote or murdered when they march. We witness turf battles between the old guard of King’s Southern Christian Leadership Conference and the young upstarts of the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee, who were already conducting voter registration drives in Selma before King decided to make the town the focal point of his push
One of Selma’s great strengths is its focus on the “little people” who made the movement go, the cannon fodder who fell before the batons, whips and horses

Marching toward a better future Commemorate Martin Luther King Day in Woodstock and Beacon
T
his Monday is Martin Luther King Day, and in the swirl of public reaction to recent police brutality against unarmed young black men in Staten Island and Ferguson, Missouri, this year the annual observation seems likely to amount to more than the usual three-day weekend. What can you do in these parts to make the holiday meaningful, besides take in the terrific new movie Selma? Here are a couple of ideas: Woodstock The Town of Woodstock, in collaboration with the Martin Luther King, Jr. Planning Committee and the Haitian People’s Support Project, has been celebrating the great Civil Rights leader’s legacy and message for a quarter-century already. On Sunday afternoon, January 18, inspirational speakers, activists and performers will convene at the Woodstock Justice Court to present a program organized under the theme of “What Would King Say?” One powerful way to remember Dr. King is to keep alive the tradition that he exemplifies of stirring oratory, its message of progressive social change propelled by the hypnotic cadences of Southern gospel preachers. Filling that role this weekend in Woodstock will be the Reverend G. Modele Clarke of Kingston’s New Progressive Baptist Church. Also speaking will be Pam Africa of the International Friends of Mumia Abu Jamal and Kingston-based youth activist Kortnee Simmons. Music was an essential bonding and motivating force in the American Civil Rights movement, so it should come as no surprise that Sunday’s program will also include some. Debra Burger will perform a selection of Freedom Songs – in which the audience will undoubtedly be encouraged to sing along – and the tradition will be brought right up to the present by a cadre of socially conscious hip hop performers and poets. The featured artist will be Josh Otero, a recent SUNY-New Paltz graduate who was active during his college years in the spoken-word cooperative Urban Lyrics and is today a member of the group ENJAN Kingston. “I have also been working with many minds, musicians, comrades in the Hudson Valley with the hopes of bringing change to our world…a change in consciousness rather than simply a change in law,” writes Otero in his personal mission statement. You can get a glimpse of his work at www.youtube.com/user/urbanlyricsnewpaltz. The event organizers have described their intent as to proliferate Dr. King’s message “to include all who can be included in the struggle to transform America.” That invitation would seem to embrace pretty much everybody who isn’t living under a rock. Admission is free, and the afternoon’s program begins at 2 p.m. The Justice Court is located at 76 Tinker Street in Woodstock. You can find out more by calling (845) 679-7320.

Highlander Folk School in Tennessee in 1957, that Dr. King first heard a rendition of an old gospel song that had been adapted into a union organizing anthem. It soon went on to become a rallying call sung at pretty much every march and sit-in of the Civil Rights movement: “We Shall Overcome.” One of Seeger’s final undertakings was to ensure that his adopted home of Beacon would commemorate Dr. King’s legacy annually in a meaningful and participatory way, with a “singing parade” on the holiday itself. “The idea of the parade was Pete Seeger’s. He felt that MLK Day had become a day off from school, a day off from work, without people recognizing Dr. King, a man who truly changed the world in such a positive way,” writes Dr. King Parade organizer Bonnie Champion. “Last year was the first parade, and it was very successful with over 1,200 marching,” Champion continues. “Pete Seeger tried so hard to make it to the parade, but he was too ill. It meant so much to him that he actually stayed alive for the parade, and died the next Monday – exactly one week later.” Lineup for the parade begins at 9:30 a.m. on Monday, January 19 at 8 Matty Cooper Square (a/k/a Church Street) in Beacon, and the march steps off at 10 a.m. The Beacon Sloop Club and Hudson River Sloop Clearwater, the Southern Dutchess Coalition, Better Together, the NAACP, the Salvation Army and many local churches plan to participate. “We are encouraging people to carry banners for their organizations. We are also encouraging people to carry American flags and posters about Dr. King, peace, Civil Rights, workers’ rights and the environment. Bring your guitars, banjos and folk music instruments, and sing along with us,” writes Champion. Find out more about the Dr. King Parade by calling (845) 255-6436. – Frances Marion Platt
One of Seeger’s final undertakings was to ensure that Beacon would commemorate Dr. King’s legacy with a “singing parade” on the holiday itself.
Beacon If you live in the Hudson Valley, it’s hard to think of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. without thinking soon after of Pete Seeger, who died one year ago this month. Though the two only actually met a handful of times, those meetings were historic and fateful, their life missions inextricably intertwined. Pete was deeply inspired by Dr. King’s work; he and his wife Toshi were in the line of march at the game-changing 50-mile walk from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama reenacted in the current movie. And it was from Seeger, at their first meeting at the
for voting rights legislation. We see the stresses of fame, constant displacement and death threats on Dr. King’s marriage and family. And throughout the film, actor David Oyelowo masterfully conveys his internal conflicts as the brilliant strategist daily confronts the appalling human costs of the tactical decisions that he makes. Oyelowo deserves every accolade that he has already received for this performance and then some. He has thoroughly internalized King’s magnificent gift for compelling oratory, the preacher’s fireand-brimstone cadences, the meticulous diction, the voice as resonant as a pipe organ. And his physical acting rivals his line delivery, with determination and selfdoubt chasing one another over the planes of his expressive face even when there are no words to be said. Some of the tragedies that befall the ordinary people inspired by King’s words do indeed transcend the power of words to soothe, as exemplified in a moving scene where the leader visits the grandfather (Henry G. Sanders) of Jimmie Lee Jackson (rapper Keith Stanfield), who has been fatally shot by police after participating in a protest. And for all its verbal sparring between MLK and LBJ in the Oval Office (with the Gilbert Stuart portrait of George
Washington comically positioned to sneer disapprovingly at the 36th president), one of Selma’s great strengths is its focus on the “little people” who made the movement go, the cannon fodder who fell before the batons, whips and horses of the police on the Edmund Pettus Bridge and on hundreds of other battlegrounds in the fight to end segregation and gain black Americans the freedom to vote. The movie repeatedly catches us up with the ongoing involvement of a cross-section of these determined, self-sacrificing people who have no national holidays named after them, but took extraordinary risks to make social change happen. Though Oyelowo is due the primary acting laurels for Selma, he is surrounded by many other terrific actors who make strong impressions even in tiny roles. It almost seems unfair to single any out, but I was especially impressed by Sanders, Colman Domingo as King’s right-hand man Ralph Abernathy, Stephan James as SNCC organizer/future congressman John Lewis, Lorraine Toussaint as Bloody Sunday activist Amelia Boynton, Nigel Thatch as Malcolm X and Giovanni Ribisi as LBJ advisor Lee White. Praise is also due the film’s muted lighting and sepiadrenched cinematography by Bradford

Young and its economical-but-evocative musical score by Jason Moran. Aside from the quibbles about historical inaccuracies, which seem to be an inevitable part of the package in movies based on real people and events, Selma is a worthy entrant in this year’s Oscar sweepstakes and deserves to be widely seen. It packs a powerful dramatic punch and reminds us all that man’s inhumanity to man doesn’t go away with the stroke of a president’s pen. It needs to be resisted daily, and the ones who do the heavy resisting aren’t the leaders – not even ones as brave and gifted as Martin Luther King, Jr. Brothers and sisters, they’re you and me. – Frances Marion Platt To read Frances Marion Platt’s previous movie reviews & other film-related

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK
Sink it in the soil How you garden can change the size of your carbon footprint
I
’m enjoying this interlude, with essentially nothing to do, farmdenwise, for a few weeks: no planting, no pruning, no weeding. Seeds have been ordered and the greenhouse, full of lettuce and kale and chard and other fresh stuff, is cold enough to require no more than weekly waterings, if that. Even then, watering involves nothing more than a quarter-turn of the mechanical timer to start water running through the drip irrigation lines. I’m going to use this lull as an opportunity to ruminate – on rumens and other relationships between agriculture and global warming. Let’s get started right away with the rumen: that part of the digestive system of a cow, steer or other ruminant where cellulose is fermented. With a capacity of more than 50 gallons, a cow’s rumen is a veritable factory, one whose byproduct is a lot of gas – more than 200 gallons a day – belched out by the cow. No small thing, that collective burp of agricultural ruminants. It’s good for the cow (when you consider the alternative), but not so good for the environment. A significant portion of the effluvia is methane, a carbon compound that is 20 times more heat-trapping in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide. Let’s leave the cows alone and drop down to the soil. Global warming from agricultural soils? Yes. Harvest a crop, any crop, and you’re removing nutrients from the site. So those nutrients need to be replaced, and that’s usually done with fertilizer. Fertilizer, unlike money, does (or can) grow on trees, such as honey locust and others in the pea family, which garner nitrogen from the air a put it in the soil; but most fertilizer is synthetic. Synthetic fertilizer must be cobbled together using energy derived from fossil fuels, which then release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. That’s not all. The soil itself is a large reservoir of carbon tied up in complex organic compounds as well as in living and dead organisms. Stir that soil up with a plow, a tiller or a garden fork, and you charge it with oxygen: just what bacteria, fungi and other microorganisms are waiting for, so that they can gobble up that carbon, grow and extract energy, then release carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.
A cow’s rumen is a veritable factory, one whose byproduct is a lot of gas – more than 200 gallons a day – belched out by the cow.
“Sequestration” isn’t only something done with our money by a bunch of mostly men in a big room (Congress) in Washington. It’s also done by farmers to save…not money, but carbon. The idea is to keep carbon in the soil rather than letting it “burn” to carbon dioxide, waft into the atmosphere and contribute to global warming. Minimizing or eliminating tillage is one way to sequester carbon – something that can be done on a home or small-farm scale; even on a large scale. I haven’t tilled my garden in more than 20 years, and 22 percent of Midwestern farmland is no-till. Minimal tillage or no-till also brings other benefits, such as reduced weeds, a friendlier environment for earthworms and fungi, more efficient plant water use, more organic carbon in the soil for livelier biological activity and improved soil aeration and, of course, the benefit of not having to till. Biochar is another proposed savior in these carbon-burning times. Biochar is, basically, charcoal that is mixed into the soil. Charcoal starts out as wood, which, when left in or on the ground, rots, the carbon within turning to carbon dioxide. Charring the wood drives off much of what makes up wood, leaving only black carbon: a poor food for soil microorganisms, so it does not rot. The wood’s carbon has been locked up, sequestered, changed from organic carbon to inorganic or elemental carbon. When it comes to agriculture, keeping too tight a grasp on carbon is not a good thing. Agriculture, whether farming or gardening, isn’t Nature, or else my garden and yours would be all weeds (some of which would be edible, and hence technically not “weeds”). Carbon is energy, fueling growth of fungi, earthworms and other creatures; and its “burned,” nutrients associated with it are released into the soil in forms that plants can use. That’s a good thing, to a degree. Fermentation microorganisms within cattle rumen make cellulose available for energy and growth even as they release methane. That’s also a good thing, to a degree.

Good gardeners and farmers strike a congenial balance, emulating Nature without giving her a free hand. Too many cows belching methane are not good for the planet. Too much tillage “burning” up soil organic matter and releasing carbon dioxide also is not a good thing. A final word, about radishes – for no reason except that I am enjoying them right now. Winter radishes are large, variable in shape and color and store well. Today, as I’ve done every few days since late fall, I sink my hand into a cold wooden box full of wood shavings to pull out yet another watermelon radish. Sliced open, this variety of winter radish looks much like watermelon and tastes…no, not like watermelon, but crisp, sharp and slightly sweet. Highly recommended; sow seeds July 15. – Lee Reich Any gardening questions? E-mail Lee at garden@leereich.com and he’ll try answering them directly or in his Almanac Weekly column.

Efforts continue to preserve Orange County Government Center There’s one sure thing about cutting-edge art and architecture: They retain their controversies – as well as their ability to inspire. Consider the Orange County Government Center down in Goshen, closed for the past three-plus years and called a “monstrosity” by many of those government officials whom it was designed to serve. It has also been listed by a number of international organizations as one of the more historically significant bits of architecture in need of saving in the Hudson Valley. And if all goes as planned, now, it may be resurrected in the coming years as a major new regional arts hub. Designed by noted architect and dean of the Yale School of Architecture Paul Rudolph in 1963 and built in 1967, and considered by many a sister structure to his alma mater’s home building in New Haven, the Government Center is seen as a key example of the well-named school of Brutalism as landed in the US. Big in the 1950s and 1960s, with a penchant for government buildings and large urban commercial or housing developments, the term derived from the French béton brut, or “raw concrete,” used by the great architect Le Corbusier to describe his choice of material. Over the years, the style of architecture fell out of favor, being seen as akin to totalitarian regime work, identified with failing public housing experiments and rendered unsightly by its aging streaks when situated in humid areas prone to rain, moss and mold. The Orange County Rudolph-designed building had been scheduled for demolition at several points, but was salvaged by historic preservationists and fans of Rudolph’s architecture each time. Then the county – which had originally hoped to redesign and rework the Rudolph building for its uses – announced plans to sell or demolish it so that a new government center could be built. Those included several big-money bids, including one from New York City developer Gene Kaufman – builder of skyscrapers and renovator of hotels such as the historic Chelsea – for turning the center into a mix of artist studios, housing and arts activities designed to put Orange County more strongly onto the Hudson Valley region’s expanding, internationally recognized arts map as a new “arts hub” akin to what’s planned for Hudson and Beacon. That one got a legislative okay, and then a veto from Orange County executive Steve Neuhaus. The reasoning? Locals didn’t like the idea of an arts hub, he said. County judges wanted their courtrooms. And Neuhaus said that he figured that it would make better financial sense simply to go back to Plan A and fix what was broken about the Rudolph building as a government center. Consider it all part and parcel, and yet another element of catharsis, in the region’s quickening revitalization as a creative-economydriven haven for those seeking to leave those giant urban areas to our south. – Paul Smart

NIGHT SKY
High-energy cosmic rays
C
You better duck
osmic Rays have a mysterious-sounding name, and live up to it. Even their history is intriguing. Their presence was first suspected over a century ago, when physicists noticed that electrically charged laboratory objects slowly lost their charge for no apparent reason. Some electrical entity was apparently sneaking into the lab and neutralizing these critters. That it came from the sky was not at all obvious until 1912, when Austrian physicist Victor Hess carried a charge-measuring instrument aloft in a balloon, and found that charges changed as he ascended. The culprit was assumed to be some kind of invisible light from outer space, and thus was born the name Cosmic Ray. It took until 1950 to prove that these are solid particles, even though the original “ray” name remains. Further studies showed that 89 percent of them are ordinary protons, while ten percent are alpha particles: packages of two protons and two neutrons – weighty stuff. The remaining one percent are electrons. All carry an electric charge, and are thus influenced by magnetism. A proton is a hydrogen atom’s nucleus. An alpha particle is a helium atom’s nucleus. Their cosmic-ray ratio matches the relative abundance of hydrogen and helium in the cosmos. It’s as if pieces of the universe are leaking in here. What doesn’t make sense is why electrons – more abundant than the others – are so underrepresented in cosmic rays. But that’s the least of the mysteries. A cosmic ray’s energy depends on its speed, since a faster-moving object does more damage than a slow one. Cosmic rays (CRs) arrive in an amazing range of speeds, whose power is expressed in electron volts or EVs. The commonest, slower ones are created in the Sun and present little mystery. The higher-energy CRs come from deep space. Then there are ultra-high-energy cosmic rays, or UHECRs, which are incredibly powerful and utterly baffling. We on Earth are happily protected from nearly all cosmic rays by our atmosphere, and to a much lesser extent our planet’s magnetic field. Still, enough CRs reach your body to deliver about 26 millirems of radiation exposure annually. You get an extra five millirems for every 1,000 feet higher your home is located. CRs really crank up their intensity in the upper troposphere at 35,000 to 42,000 feet, which is why you receive an extra millirem for each thousand miles you travel by plane. It’s Frequent Flyer radiation. Thanks to their extended time in that high-CR environment, airline crews have a one percent higher lifetime cancer incidence: 23 cases in 100, instead of 22. Astronauts – especially those leaving our protective magnetic field to venture to the Moon, or maybe someday to Mars – face a fearsome cosmic-ray environment. In space, 5,000 cosmic rays tear through the body each second. During a multiyear mission, this creates an enormously elevated risk of cancer and the wholesale destruction of brain neurons. Shielding is problematical. To achieve the same cosmic-ray blockage we get from our atmosphere, you’d need to huddle beneath 16 feet of water, or something with its mass equivalent. While most cosmic rays have energies between ten million and ten billion electron volts, cosmic rays of more than 100 million trillion EVs are periodically detected. These

Austrian physicist Victor Hess (center) carried a charge-measuring instrument aloft in a balloon in 1912, and found that charges changed as he ascended.
are 40 million times more powerful than anything that we can create in a particle accelerator. A single such cosmic-ray particle can deliver a wallop equal to a tennis ball hitting you at 100 miles an hour. They’re probably protons traveling at just under the speed of light. How does a proton with its substantial mass get accelerated that crazily? No known process can do it. For years, the leading candidates for such UHECRs have been supernova remnants, but even these can’t explain truly ultra-high-energy particles. Recently, colliding galaxies have gained favor, but there are problems with this theory too. Today, the leading candidates are AGNs: active galactic nuclei like the ones inside ten percent of all galaxies. It’s assumed that their supermassive black holes slingshot these bullets to their fantastic speed and power. Perhaps the most intriguing idea is that UHECRs materialize when theoretical dark matter particles hypothetically decay into high-speed proton pairs, one of which falls into a black hole while the other is shot across the cosmos. It’s a case where desperate, baffled astronomers are using the bizarre as evidence for the exotic. – Bob Berman Want to know more?

PUBLIC NOTICE APPLICATION OF NORTH AMERICA TRANSMISSION, LLC AND NORTH AMERICA TRANSMISSION CORPORATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF ENVIRONMENTAL COMPATIBILITY AND PUBLIC NEED FOR THE EDIC TO FRASER TRANSMISSION LINE AND NEW SCOTLAND TO PLEASANT VALLEY TRANSMISSION LINE In accordance with Article VII of the New York State Public Service Law, NORTH AMERICA TRANSMISSION, LLC and NORTH AMERICA TRANSMISSION CORPORATION (together “NAT”) is providing notice that on or about January 20, 2015 it will file an amended application with the New York State Public Service Commission (“PSC” or “Commission”) for a Certificate of Environmental Compatibility and Public Need for two 345 kiloVolt (“kV”) overhead transmission line segments. The segments will work together to relieve congestion on the New York power grid and provide other benefits that are being proposed in response to the Governor’s Energy Highway Blueprint initiative. NAT will be filing initial application materials as described in Appendix D of the Commission’s December 16, 2014 Order in Docket 12-T-0502. The two proposed transmission line segments are the Edic to Fraser Transmission Line and the New Scotland to Pleasant Valley Transmission Line, together known as the “Project”. The Commission could approve the Project in its entirety, or it could approve one or more of the Project components described in this notice. This notice is published to inform the public of alternatives to the proposed transmission lines that would cross areas not affected by the original Project proposal for which notice was published in September 2013. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Edic to Fraser Transmission Line will involve the construction of the approximately 80 mile, 345 kV Edic to Fraser overhead transmission line in the Towns of Marcy, Deerfield, Schuyler, Frankfort, Litchfield, Columbia, Richfield, Exeter, Burlington, New Lisbon, Laurens, Oneonta, Otego, Franklin, Delhi and Hamden; construction of a new series compensation station at the Edic Substation site adjacent to the new Edic to Fraser transmission line; and modification of the existing Edic and Fraser Substations in the Towns of Marcy and Delhi to accept the new transmission line. The New Scotland to Leeds to Pleasant Valley Transmission Line involves the proposed construction of the 65 mile, 345 kV New Scotland to Pleasant Valley overhead transmission line in the Towns of New Scotland, Bethlehem, Coeymans, New Baltimore, Coxsackie, Athens, Village of Athens and Towns of Greenport, Livingston, Clermont, Milan, Clinton, Pleasant Valley, and Hyde Park; and modification of the existing New Scotland, Leeds and Pleasant Valley Substations in the Towns of New Scotland, Leeds and Pleasant Valley to accept the new transmission line. Construction, operation and maintenance activities will require NAT to acquire property rights along the Project right-of-way for the proposed transmission lines. The Project is planned to be built utilizing steel monopole structures. Other structure types may be utilized to reduce visual impacts of the Project. The Project is subject to the requirements of the New York State Public Service Law, and NAT must receive a Certificate of Environmental Compatibility and Public Need from the Public Service Commission before constructing the Project. PROPOSED ROUTE During the course of the Article VII proceedings, alternate routes not included in NAT’s application or affected by the proposed primary routes may be offered without further notice by publication. In addition, the Public Service Commission may, without further notice by publication, approve a route for any of the circuits that traverse municipalities not presently affected by the proposed primary routes. The proposed route for Edic to Fraser will parallel the south side of NYSEG’s existing Edic to New Scotland 345 kV transmission line for the first 7.2 miles after exiting the Edic Substation through the Towns of Marcy, Deerfield and Schuyler at which point the route traverses generally north to south for approximately 6.3 miles through the Town of Frankfort where it connects to the existing Edic to Fraser 345 kV transmission line corridor. The remaining 66.5 miles of Edic to Fraser will be built adjacent to the existing corridor in the Towns of Frankfort, Litchfield, Columbia, Richfield, Exeter, Burlington, New Lisbon, Laurens, Oneonta, Otego, Franklin, Delhi and Hamden to the Fraser Substation in the Town of Delhi. The proposed route for New Scotland to Leeds to Pleasant Valley begins at the New Scotland Substation in the Town of New Scotland and parallels the existing New Scotland to Alps 345 kV transmission line for the first 0.7 miles to the east side of the CSX railroad right-of-way (“RR ROW”), then turns south adjacent to the RR ROW for approximately 1.3 miles and traverses 0.62 miles to the southwest to join the New Scotland to Leeds 115 kV transmission line corridor. After joining this corridor, the route parallels the existing line 11 miles through the Towns of New Scotland, Bethlehem, Coeymans and New Baltimore. The route continues on a new corridor for approximately 2.1 miles roughly 0.35 miles east of the existing lines before rejoining the existing corridor in the Town of New Baltimore at which point the route parallels the existing New Scotland to Leeds 115 kV line for the remaining 10 miles through the Town of Coxsackie into the west side of the Leeds Substation in the Town of Athens. The route exits the east side of the Leeds Substation and parallels the existing Leeds to Pleasant Valley circuits for the 40 mile route through the Town of Athens, Village of Athens, Towns of Greenport, Livingston, Clermont, Milan, Clinton, Pleasant Valley, and Hyde Park. The lines will be built on new rights-of-way that will generally be 80-100 feet wide. One alternate route for the New Scotland to Pleasant Valley transmission line, called New Scotland to Pleasant Valley Alternative 1, begins at the New Scotland Substation in the Town of New Scotland and parallels the CSX RR ROW for 8 miles through the Town of Bethlehem and then turns down the I-87 corridor for 55 miles through the Towns of Coeymans, New Baltimore, Coxsackie, Athens, Catskill, Saugerties, Ulster, Kingston, Rosendale, Esopus, and New Paltz to Route 299 West and then turns east for 14 miles through the Towns of Lloyd and Hyde Park to the Pleasant Valley Substation in the town of Pleasant Valley. This alternate would be built on the existing I-87 ROW for approximately 62% of its length and new ROW typically 80’ wide for the remainder. The Towns of Catskill, Saugerties, Ulster, Kingston, Rosendale, Esopus, New Paltz, and Lloyd were not previously crossed by the proposed Project or any alternative thereto and are therefore receiving notice of the proposed alternative at this time. Another alternate route that by-passes the Leeds Substation connection, known as New Scotland to Pleasant Valley Alternative 2, begins at the New Scotland Substation in the Town of New Scotland and parallels the CSX RR ROW for 8 miles through the Towns of Bethlehem and Coeymans to the location of the Greenbush to Churchtown 115 kV corridor in the Town of Schodack; then turns south and follows the Greenbush to Churchtown and Churchtown to Pleasant Valley 115 kV corridor for the remaining 54 miles through the Towns of Stuyvesant, Stockport, Ghent, Claverack, Livingston, Gallatin, Clermont, Milan, Clinton, and Pleasant Valley. This route would be built primarily within the CSX RR ROW and completely within the existing 115 kV corridor for nearly its entire length. The Towns of Schodack, Stuyvesant, Stockport, Ghent, Claverack, and Gallatin were not previously crossed by the proposed Project or any alternative thereto and are therefore receiving notice of the proposed alternative at this time. Either Alternative 1 or 2 could be constructed with or without the new Knickerbocker Substation or Switchyard, which could be constructed by NAT and would be located near the intersection of Knickerbocker and Muitzeskill Roads in the Town of Schodack. If Knickerbocker Substation is constructed in conjunction with Alternative 1, the transmission line would originate at Knickerbocker Substation, proceed west approximately two miles primarily within the CSX RR ROW, cross the Hudson River, proceed west approximately one-half mile within the Town of Coeymans, head southward within the I-87 corridor toward Leeds Substation, and terminate at Pleasant Valley Substation as described above. Alternative 2 would connect through Knickerbocker Substation via the path described above. Further, the following alternative components are proposed to enhance transfer capability without requiring any additional lands for rights-of-way: a) the addition of series compensation on the existing Fraser-Gilboa 345 kV circuit at Fraser Substation in the Town of Delhi; b) looping the existing Marcy-Coopers Corner 345 kV circuit to the existing Fraser Substation; c) the addition of series compensation on the existing Marcy-New Scotland 345 kV circuit near Marcy Substation in the Town of Marcy; and d) the addition of series compensation on the existing Edic-New Scotland 345 kV circuit near Edic Substation in the Town of Marcy. The precise proposed routes are described in more detail in NAT’s Phase A Application filing and will be posted on NAT’s website at www.nat-ny.com beginning January 20, 2015. ACCESS TO PSC FILING Once NAT’s application is filed with the Public Service Commission, copies of the application will be available for public inspection during normal business hours at the following libraries: Utica Public Library, 303 Genesee Street, Utica, NY 13501 • The Frank J.

I’m very pleased to offer this excellent business opportunity. Since our manager Mitch grew up in Woodstock I’d like him to tell you about it: Hi, Mitch Rapoport here, and yes, Woodstock Meats is truly legendary. I can recall going there as a teen in the late 50’s! Today it still stands as Woodstock’s most invaluable and popular source of fine natural meats, deli, and groceries. Owned by the same family for generations, it is both profitable and highly respected. It is a “plum” of a business that serves the core of this famous community, and anyone who owns it instantly becomes part of a rich and celebrated history. It is the most famous little store in the most famous little town...
NEW
A Landmark in Woodstock, at the very threshold of Mill Hill Road, Woodstock Meats is visible to 11,000 cars per day. The store is highly attractive, clean, and exhibits seasonal plants and holiday produce at the entrance. The store itself, currently 1500 square feet, can be expanded by an additional 1000 square feet (per the Town) and has paved parking for 17 vehicles.
Known for high quality natural meats, fish, and poultry, the fresh meat section is 20 linear feet long, neat, beautifully prepared, and eye-catching. The 12 linear foot deli section is similarly popular for its freshly made sandwiches, soups, coffee, and not the least, camaraderie, with a regular morning coffee, hard roll, and pastry crowd.
HIBERNATION REMEDY! Savvy buyers and sellers know that some of the BEST DEALS are made during the winter months when competition is lower and motivation is higher! Your trusted Westwood adviser has the time tested strategies & cutting edge technologies to guide you to your 2015 Real Estate goal.

DEAR BUSINESSMAN/WOMAN- We at Hardscrabble Flea Market & Swap Meet would like to congratulate you on being picked from over 100 businesses in your field. We believe we can help each other- We have a swap meet every Sunday, 8 a.m.-4 p.m. at Holy Cow Shopping Center, in addition to a flea market/garage sale. We find that when business people set up a table w/business cards & flyers or “show how to do” projects it will definitely increase your business (and mine). It’s a great way to introduce your business to new/old customers. And, if you have leftover merchandise you’d like to sell- this would be a perfect way to unload it. Please give John a call for more details- (845)7581170. Spots are $12-$35.
