John Jacobs to read from The Stranger in the Attic in New Paltz
Few people are left of the generation who can remember the Spanish Civil War (1936-39) and how divisive an issue that was here in the US – which, along with France and Britain, had opted out of taking sides in the conflict. During the Great Depression, with tens of millions of Americans out of work for long stretches of time, leftist ideologies found many sympathetic ears, and to call oneself a communist or a socialist did not yet incur the degree of social stigma that later developed during the McCarthy Era. Still, many Americans in the 1930s supported general Francisco Franco’s campaign to oust Spain’s democratically elected socialist government – at least, until Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler sent in a combined 80,000 troops to turn the tide of battle and the victorious Franco went on to prove himself a full-blown fascist dictator.

LECTURE
I spy Invisible Ink: Spycraft of the American Revolution author John Nagy to talk in New Paltz
A
ward-winning author John A. Nagy will speak about an intriguing part of the Revolutionary War based on his book, Invisible Ink: Spycraft of the American Revolution, on Saturday, March 15 at 4 p.m. at Deyo Hall, 18 Broadhead Avenue in New Paltz. The discussion will center around cyphers, codes, paper masks and hidden compartments and Nagy tells stories of the Revolution’s unsung heroes, including several based in the Hudson River Valley. Tickets cost $8 ($5 for seniors and students) and are available at the door. Call 255-1660 for further details.
For many young intellectuals of that era, the cause of the Spanish Loyalists (also known as Republicans) was a clarion call to activism. Of the approximately 2,800 American volunteers who fought under the banner of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade, only two were still living at last report, aged 97 and 98 respectively. Among those who perished in the war was a gifted young artist from the Town of Lloyd in Ulster County named Edward Deyo Jacobs, known to his comrades as Deyo (pictured above). He became radicalized while studying at the Art Students League in New York City, where his instructors included Thomas Hart Benton, John Sloan, George Grosz and Harry Sternberg; Jackson Pollock was a friend and fellow student. After school,
Jacobs worked briefly with the Works Progress Administration’s public art projects and then, unable to find steady employment, rode the rails like a hobo to visit the family of his best friend, Douglas Taylor, in Utah. He joined the Communist Party in 1935 and signed up to fight in the International Brigades at the end of 1936. Taylor joined him about six months later. The Loyalists put Jacobs’ artistic talents and training to work, assigning him to illustrate pamphlets and posters, and later to scout out the terrain and make maps; but he also fought in the trenches. Having survived the bloody Battle of Jarama, he was among the many lost in the disastrous rout from Teruel in March of 1938, shortly before the end of the war. He was listed as Missing in Action, and it took many years
before his family in Highland received an account of his death. Not fully recuperated from a recent ankle fracture, Jacobs had been unable to flee the advancing Nationalist troops; Taylor stayed with him, and both were apparently captured and summarily executed. By then the Nationalists, smelling victory in the air, were taking no prisoners. After a long career with the US Information Agency, Deyo Jacobs’ younger brother John Kedzie Jacobs, now 95, moved back to the old family homestead on South Street in the rural Clintondale neighborhood; he lives there still with his wife Katia. Decades after the Spanish Civil War, following the death of their parents, John Jacobs unearthed a trove of letters to and from his brother. He dedicated many years to reading and organizing them, trying to contact other people who had known him and collecting surviving examples of Deyo’s artworks. The result of this labor of love is a poignant and enlightening volume titled The Stranger in the Attic: Finding a Lost Brother in His Letters Home, selfpublished this winter, 75 years after Deyo Jacobs’ passing. It’s a fascinating window into the zeitgeist of the 1930s, the Spanish Civil War, the New York City art scene of the time and the dynamics of a rural Ulster County family whose members were all gifted but frequently at odds. Through John Jacobs’ eyes, we see his brother transformed from an unsympathetic, self-centered, socially abrasive, possibly somewhat autistic boy to a brilliant young man with passionate commitments to his art, his friends and his political ideals – perhaps even a hero. John Kedzie Jacobs will read from The Stranger in the Attic and talk about his brother and his writing process at Inquiring Minds Bookstore in New Paltz on Friday, March 14 at 7 p.m. Admission is free. Come catch a bit of firsthand history of the ‘30s. You may even find yourself singing a chorus or two of “Venga Jaleo� on your way out. – Frances Marion Platt John Kedzie Jacobs reads from The Stranger in the Attic, Friday, March 14, 7 p.m., free, Inquiring Minds Bookstore, 6 Church Street, New Paltz; (845) 2558300, http://inquiringbooks.com/newpaltz-bookstore.

Want to join the DAR? Sarah K. Hermans, regent of the Chancellor Livingston Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), will offer information on how to join the group at the Millerton Library on Saturday, March 15 at 1 p.m.
Four women founded the patriotic society in 1890, when the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) decided that women could not join the SAR. The Chancellor Livingston Chapter, NSDAR, was founded in 1917 and meets in the historic General Richard Montgomery and Janet Livingston House on 77 Livingston Street. Approximately 73 women are members of the chapter, who meet monthly on the second Friday of each month at 1 p.m. or the second Monday at 6:30 p.m., alternating every other month. There is usually a guest speaker. Meetings with a guest speaker are open to the public. The DAR focuses primarily on historic preservation, education and patriotism. The Chancellor Livingston Chapter, NSDAR, was instrumental in providing the Rhinebeck Cemetery Memorial Gate and currently is working on installing a plaque and veterans’ markers in the Rhinebeck Reformed Church Cemetery honoring the American Revolutionary War soldiers buried there, some of whom have unmarked graves. To join the DAR, a woman must be able to trace an unbroken line from a Revolutionary War soldier or a supporter of the War of Independence from England, such as a man who paid taxes for the purchase of weapons and supplies to fight the war or a woman who donated lead shot to the Continental Army. A patriot doesn’t have to be male; any lineal descendant from a woman who supported the cause of Independence is eligible to join.

Fundamentals of funk Uncle Funk plays Bearsville this Friday
F
unk music, the story goes, celebrates carnality and ecstatic revelry to the exclusion of all other values. But these are just stubborn cultural associations, and dubious ones at that. Proper funk is, in its own way, technically demanding music, requiring of its players a gross motor conditioning and flow as well as the acute, bouncy, snap-back touch necessary to generate the syncopations of a slap bass or Clavinet part. In funk, note length is everything – the difference between got it and not-it. It ain’t Rachmaninoff (well, some Stevie Wonder is), but there is an undeniable neurological readiness and refinement to the funk

arts. Mostly, however, funk flies because of a subtle and selfless ensemble awareness, a respect for the spaces in between and how one part propels the other. Funk creates motion – ecstatic motion – out of a territorial counterpoint that is a communal expression of physical joy and the neurological sophistication of the human body. Perhaps this is why circus, big family and other cultic, communal and Dionysian metaphors attach themselves so easily to the genre. But funk logic is genre-agnostic. You can hear it in the Band, who were organic masters of ensemble space and the negotiations of feel. You can hear it in the almost-laughably spacious grooves of Little Feat songs such as “Fat Man in the Bathtub,” “Rock ‘n’ Roll Doctor” or “Down the Road,” in which not a single performer seems to be playing an incessant rhythm part, and yet the whole moves with the

he young indie/roots songwriter RoseAnn Fino released her eponymous debut full-length recording in 2013. It’s a striking collection produced by Aaron Hurwitz (a/k/a Professor Louie) and featuring guitar contributions from John Platania (Van Morrison). Even as the backing band rocks and swings, Hurwitz directs all attention to the songwriting and vocal performances, which precociously evoke the world-wearied spirit of a Lucinda Williams.

authority of a very agile and whimsical ocean. You can hear it –surprisingly, perhaps – in some of the wiry, brainy ultra-contrapuntal prog music of Gentle Giant. So lots of music is funky (I swear to God that Bach is, half the time), but Funkthe-Genre is music given over entirely to the ecstasies of ensemble groovemakery. As such, funk often seems like background in search of foreground, a setting in search a subject. Songs come off like afterthoughts, the standardized cardboard boxes required to introduce the funk to the marketplace. Funk lyrics tend toward the minimal and exhortative. Forms typically amount to little more than a dynamic arc: additions and subtractions, buildups and breakdowns. It’s not that these players and composers couldn’t be

tending to the other dimensions of music; it’s that they’re taken, literally swept away, by that wild feeling of grooving together, and all else pales for them. It is, in other words, fundamentally live music. Funk is your uncle, not your father. Funk is a bit squirrelly and capricious and may not have your best interests in mind. Enjoy him, learn from him, but keep yourself grounded, else you end up in the carnival for life.

T
he exquisitely murky and atmospheric indie pop group the War on Drugs visits BSP in Kingston not long after former member and breakout indie-rock star Kurt Vile passed through the same upstart club on Wall Street, just a night before his sold-out show at Terminal 5 in Manhattan. Vile, in fact, recommended BSP to the War on Drugs’ Adam Granduciel and suggested that it might be a good spot for a low-key tour kickoff in advance of the new record, Lost in the Dream, which is slated for a March 18 release. TWoD’s sound, sense and studio aesthetic are remarkably similar to Vile’s: a languorous, slurry and unconsciously tuneful American Bard rock, with debts to Dylan and Petty wrapped in layers of ether, waft, buzz and tape degradation. It is very beautiful. The War on Drugs’ show begins at 9 p.m. this Saturday, March 15. Tickets cost $15 in advance, $17 the day of the show, and are available locally at Outdated in Kingston, Jack’s Rhythms in New Paltz, Darkside Records in Poughkeepsie and the Woodstock Music Shop.

hat Alvin Ailey was to African Americans in terms of creating a meaningful presence in the world of ballet and modern dance, Tina Ramirez was to the Latino community in the US. The Venezuelan-born daughter of a Mexican bullfighter and a Puerto Rican immigrant rights activist, she landed in New York City as a young girl and studied Spanish dance with Lola Bravo and Luisa Pericet, classical ballet with Chester Hale and Alexandra Danilova and modern dance with Anna Sokolow. She went on to dance professionally with Spanish dance companies and Xavier Cugat’s orchestra, at Italy’s Spoleto Festival, on Broadway and on television. In the 1960s, Ramirez became a passionate educator, using federal antipoverty funding to create an intensive dance training program for young Latinos. By 1970 that effort had blossomed into the cultural institution now known as Ballet Hispanico, which went on to perform for millions of people across three continents. Ramirez served as artistic director of the troupe for nearly four decades, winning the National Medal of the Arts in 2005. Her outreach program in dance and Hispanic culture still reaches some 15,000 students annually. Now 85, Ramirez retired in 2009, but passed the torch to an able acolyte: Eduardo Vilaro, founder of Chicago’s Luna Negra Dance Theater. Under Vilaro’s direction, Ballet Hispanico continues to uphold its reputation as the nation’s premier Latino dance organization, performing a rich and diverse repertory of more than 100 works

Ectoplasmically operatic Bard Conservatory pairs premiere of Shawn Jaeger’s Payne Hollow with Britten’s Turn of the Screw this weekend
B
orn in Kentucky at the beginning of the 20th century, Harlan Hubbard might have been accused by some of his contemporaries of living in the past, but he was actually way ahead of his time: purposefully getting “off the grid” long before that term came into popular use. He moved to New York City, studied art at the National Academy of Design and later at the Art Academy of Cincinnati, but then turned his back on industrialization and consumer society. In 1944, Harlan and his wife Anna hand-built a shantyboat in Kentucky and spent the next eight years sailing down the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers IN 1951, THE HUBBARDS to New Orleans, living on the boat all returned to Kentucky and built their the while. own permanent home on the banks of In 1951, the Hubbards returned the Ohio in a place called Payne Hollow, to Kentucky and built their own with no electricity, subsisting on food permanent home on the banks of the that they grew themselves, Ohio in a place called Payne Hollow, fished or foraged. with no electricity, subsisting on food that they grew themselves, fished or foraged. Their self-sufficient existence, chronicled in books and journals, along with Harlan Hubbard’s art, inspired an eminent fellow Kentuckian – poet, essayist and environmental activist Wendell Berry – to write extensively about the pioneering couple. Among Berry’s tributes to the Hubbards was Sonata at Payne Hollow (2001), a short play in verse. Embellished with ghosts, it has now become the basis for the libretto of a new opera by Shawn Jaeger. A fellow Kentuckian, the young composer is a faculty member at Bard College. Jaeger, whose music often draws inspiration from Appalachian ballad singing and the 17th-century “lining-out” tradition preserved in Old Regular Baptist hymnody, describes the atmosphere that he wanted to capture in Payne Hollow as “quiet and mysterious.” The chamber opera will have its world premiere this weekend at Bard’s Fisher Center, performed by the Bard College Conservatory of Music’s Graduate Vocal Arts Program under the baton of Carl Christian Bettendorf. Also on the program, and complementing Payne Hollow’s ectoplasmic elements, will be Benjamin Britten’s The Turn of the Screw, conducted by James Bagwell. The 1954 opera is based on the tantalizingly ambiguous 1898 novella by Henry James about a newly hired governess at a country estate that may or may not be haunted

Comic actor Paul Reiser performs this Friday in Middletown
Observe or participate as Joe Langworth works with theater students in a master class on Broadway
Stand-up comedian, actor and writer Paul Reiser reemerges on the comedy scene with his quick wit and comedic talent in a live performance on Friday, March 14 at 8 p.m. at the historic Paramount Theatre at 17 South Street in Middletown. Tickets cost $25 to $50. In addition to co-creating and starring in the critically acclaimed NBC series Mad about You, which garnered him multiple Emmy, Golden Globe, American Comedy Award and Screen Actors’ Guild nominations for Best Actor in a Comedy Series, Reiser also starred opposite Matt Damon and Michael Douglas in the HBO movie Behind the Candelabra, a film that won 11 primetime Emmys. Reiser co-wrote the Mad about You theme song “The Final Frontier,” which has the distinction of having been broadcast on Mars: It was chosen by NASA mission directors as the “wakeup call” for the Sojourner Rover. His most recent music project was Unusual Suspects, an album of original songs that he wrote with British singer/songwriter

by the apparitions of two deceased former employees who may or may not have molested the two children in her charge. Is she delusional, or are the ghosts real? James isn’t telling, and literary critics and psychologists have consequently had a field day with the eerie story ever since. Britten’s musical interpretation, with the composer’s characteristic blend of tonality and dissonance, remains one of his most popular works to this day, and his most frequently performed opera after Peter Grimes. The two chamber operas will be sung by sopranos Angela Aida Carducci, Elizabeth Cohen, Lucy Fitz Gibbon, Helen Zhibing Huang, Kameryn Lueng, Devony Smith, Laura Soto-Bayomi and Sarah Tuttle; mezzo-sopranos Katherine Maysek and Sara LeMesh; Vincent Festa, tenor; and Jeremy Hirsch and Michael Hofmann, baritones – all backed by the Bard Conservatory Orchestra.

March 13-20 Color up some fun at Crayola Experience
Did you know that the name Crayola comes from the French word craie, which means chalk, and ola, from the word oleaginous, or oil? My family and I recently visited the Crayola Experience, and we absolutely loved it. As soon as we walked in, we were surrounded by happy colors and informative wall graphics. Our entire day consisted of hands-on and technologybased crafting projects. Each guest is given a clear plastic bag containing three tokens with admission, usable for the facility’s three interactive activities: customizing crayon labels, creating markers and modeling dough. Additional tokens may be purchased for 50 cents each. Naming crayons was a real highlight for my crew, and we bought extra tokens just to make more of them: Automated kiosks indicate the available color choices, and after answering a few prompts, the machine spits out your finished label and crayon. The marker-making apparatus looked like a row of vending machines,
March 13, 2014
“SENSE OF PLACE gives equilibrium; extended, it is sense of direction too.” – Eudora Welty
requiring only the insertion of a token and activation button to complete the visible process of making a marker. The modeling dough area consists of several tables and fun cutting and molding tools to use on-site, but we just kept our dough in its package to use later. With three full floors of activities, the kids enjoyed everything, such as creating spin art, painting and molding, all with melted crayon wax; exploring the almost-two-floor-high playspace; using computers to draw and animate wallprojected designs; learning how crayons are made from the upbeat and engaging Crayola show and more. The canal activity on the third floor, complete with toy boats, flowing water and working locks, seems out of place in a Crayola-based space – until you become aware of its ties to local history. The exhibit enables kids to get hands-on experience on how locks actually function to enable boats to navigate different water levels. The Crayola Experience is a blast, tons of fun and a highly stimulating environment. I’d say that a comfortable age range would be ages 2 through 11, but with the amount of available crafting, interested and creative teens would have no problem filling their day here. Elevators, bathroom changing tables and wide walkways enhance the welcoming environment for bringing very young children in strollers. Leave extra time for parking, in case the nearby parking garage is close to capacity or full. Admission costs $16.99 for ages 2 and up, $14.99 for seniors 65 and over and

Autism advice from Dr. Temple Grandin “I am different, not less,” says Dr. Temple Grandin, notable author, consultant for livestock behavior and autism advocate who has autism herself. Her real-life inside view of autism, as
contrasted with the countless outsider perspectives, is the main thing that appeals to me about Grandin’s work. Her sold-out lecture at the Paramount Theatre in Middletown last week was fascinating, informative and inspiring. I appreciated learning some of the science behind the neurology that distinguishes the way that her brain operates from a neurotypical control, shown through scans displaying different highlighted areas during the PowerPoint slides. One takeaway is her advice for individuals on the spectrum in positioning themselves for the job market, although I think that it’s a clever tip for anyone: portfolios! Grandin strongly suggests carrying your portfolio with you at all times, never knowing when the next conversation might open a door, or even

Why Did I Choose Woodland Pond? Community. Convenience. And My Cottage. Barbara Hardgrave
❝ Woodland Pond is a vibrant community - the people are very cordial
and stimulating to be around. I’m an active person, so I appreciate that. The architecture is beautiful, with gorgeous landscaping throughout the grounds. The food is delicious; one of my favorites is the Mediterranean salad with grilled salmon. I absolutely adore my cottage. It’s a lovely twobedroom with an attached garage. As a singer and voice teacher, I appreciate the fact there was ample room to bring my grand piano. And last fall... I planted some hydrangea bulbs and can’t wait until they bloom this spring.

Sign up now for summer camps in Kingston The Little Gym of Kingston is now enrolling children in two all-new age-appropriate and interest-driven summer camp programs: Super Kids’ Quest Summer Camp for children ages 3 to 8 and Skill Thrill Summer Camp for children ages 6 to 12 years. Completely reworked around a new camp format, the Super Kids’ Quest Summer Camp challenges children to spend three adventure-filled hours a day completing a fun, exciting mission or “Quest.” Each Quest employs a creative storyline designed to incorporate the Little Gym’s Three Learning Dimensions as kids have a chance to exercise their bodies, their imaginations and their team cooperative skills to complete their mission.

JAY WARD, FOR THOSE TOO YOUNG TO REMEMBER, was the producer of such essential ‘60s kiddie TV fare as the Rocky & Bullwinkle cartoons, their nearly-forgotten ancestor Crusader Rabbit and such later vehicles as George of the Jungle and Super Chicken
The Dogfather, Part 2 Mr. Peabody and Sherman pun their way through history in fine form
R
egular readers of Almanac Weekly may find themselves wondering at whiles, “Who is the warped mind behind these awful punning headlines? Has s/he no shame?” The answers, dear readers, are Yours Truly – not always but often – and no. I admit it: I am a proud paronomasiac. And I probably got that way in the first place by watching too many cartoons by Jay Ward in my youth. Ward, for those too young to remember, was the producer of such essential ‘60s kiddie TV fare as the Rocky & Bullwinkle cartoons, their nearly-forgotten ancestor Crusader Rabbit and such later vehicles as George of the Jungle and Super Chicken (whose oft-repeated quote, “You knew the job was dangerous when you took it, Fred,” has served this writer well in many a vexing life situation over the decades). Appearing alongside the gallant flying squirrel and dim-but-loyal moose in each episode of Rocky and His Friends or The Bullwinkle Show were Fractured Fairy Tales, Dudley Do-Right of the Mounties and a dog and his boy named Peabody and Sherman, in a segment officially titled Peabody’s Improbable History. Besides sending up pop culture, advertising and the Cold War politics of the era, each episode was inevitably laden with the most egregious puns imaginable, from 408 Main Street Rosendale 845.658.8989 rosendaletheatre.org Movies $7, Members $5
title to final punchline. Though they often went over my little head, I learned to love them. So you might say that Jay Ward made me what I am today, when it comes to having a deep appreciation for even the tackiest modes of wordplay. Thus I suppose that I fall squarely within the target demographic for Rob Minkoff ’s current silver screen hommage to those endlessly curious time-travelers Mr. Peabody and Sherman. Though the animation is lightyears beyond the crude drawings of Ward’s heyday, and Peabody (Ty Burrell) has been transformed in the movie version from Sherman’s (Max Charles) mentor to his adoptive father, the basic premise was cozily familiar enough to suck me in, and the puns are every bit as bad as ever. That being said, I had a few quibbles with Mr. Peabody and Sherman the movie, even while I was enjoying the ride. These largely had to do with the screenplay’s inability to make up its mind about whether it was trying to convey a serious message about filial responsibility, male discomfort with expressing emotions and what constitutes good parenting, or just wanting to be goofy fun. It also delivers decidedly mixed messages about Peabody’s academic chops and history itself, setting up certain expectations by portraying Sherman as well-schooled in the debunking of myths about George Washington, and then dashing said expectations by having Peabody warn Sherman that ancient Egypt

Sherman, Penny and Mr. Peabody in Mr. Peabody & Sherman
is “a cruel and brutal civilization.” Once the time-travelers are off on their journeys, of course, arrant tomfoolery quickly takes over; I started enjoying the movie a lot more once I let go of my objections to the perpetration of wrongheaded stereotypes about civilizations past. There’s a whole lot of angst embedded in the father/son relationship, in which the canine genius is portrayed as an Aspergery sort who replies, “And I hold you in high regard as well” to the human boy’s “I love you” when he’s tucking him in for the night. Whether Peabody will ever be able to relax his didactic style of relating is the main character arc of the movie; and there’s a lot of sweetness in the unfolding of the relationship as Peabody is threatened with having his adopted son taken away after Sherman gets into a fight with his classmate Penny (Ariel Winter). There’s a lovely photo montage, set to John Lennon’s “Beautiful Boy” and presumably meant to evoke the opening sequence of Up, in which Peabody travels back in memory to his discovery of the infant Sherman (already wearing oversized glasses) abandoned in an alleyway. Less forgivable, for this viewer, than Peabody’s difficulty at acting warmand-fuzzy (it’s a given that he’ll get past that) are his failings as an ethical role model. When Sherman gets mad at his adoptive Dad and decides to run off with Agamemnon’s army to the sack of Troy, Peabody’s objection is merely, “It’s dangerous.” There’s no mention of the psychological cost to be paid if a swordwielding 7-year-old actually succeeded in killing a Trojan. The dog does step into the fray to save his boy, and blades clash, but any inevitable bloodshed is discreetly backgrounded. There’s something a bit creepy about this scene – along with a message elsewhere that biting someone in defense of a loved one is okay – that just doesn’t jibe with the absurdist tone that

we normally associate with the original cartoons. The movie is at its best when it sticks to Wardian silliness and satire, with the occasional tender moments nicely punctuating a storyline that consists mostly of Peabody, Sherman and Penny hurtling hither and thither through time and space. Chase scenes through the Paris sewers during the Revolution, aboard a runaway Boat of Ra in an Egyptian tomb or through the skies above an Italian Renaissance town in Leonardo da Vinci’s flying machine all look and feel deliciously swoopy in 3-D, as do the voyages through wormholes in time of the WABAC Machine itself.

Tall in the saddle National Theatre Live from London’s War Horse screens in Rhinebeck & Rosendale
S
o you’ve seen the Steven Spielberg film, and you’ve wondered how in the world a story of such epic scale could have been rendered onstage – garnering wild critical and popular acclaim, plus scads of prestigious drama awards for both its West End and Broadway productions – with its lead character portrayed by…a horse puppet. Well, it must have worked, considering that some four million people around the world have attended live performances of War Horse, Nick Stafford’s stage adaptation of a children’s novel by Michael Morpurgo about a boy and his horse separated by World War I, since its 2007 London debut. Over the next couple of weeks, you now have your chance – four chances, actually: one in Rhinebeck and three in Rosendale – to catch a taped performance of War Horse, presented by National Theatre Live from London and originally simulcast in England on February 27. Though it’s billed as the “original production” of War Horse, featuring the Handspring Puppet Company’s phenomenal ersatz equines, some members of the original cast have moved on to even bigger things. The role of Albert, the English farmboy who pursues his beloved steed Joey behind enemy lines, was first portrayed by Kit Harington, now better-known as Jon Snow in HBO’s Game of Thrones and starring at a cinema near you in Pompeii. Sion Daniel Young plays Albert in the current cast; catch him now before he gets too famous. National Theatre Live from London’s War Horse will be screened at Upstate Films in Rhinebeck, located at 6415 Montgomery Street (Route 9), on Wednesday, March 19 beginning at 1:30 p.m. Tickets cost $15 general admission, $13 for seniors and students and $11 for Upstate members. For information call (845) 876-2515 or visit http://upstatefilms.org. At the Rosendale Theatre, located at 408 Main Street (Route 213) in Rosendale, National Theatre from London’s War Horse will be screened at 2 p.m. on Sunday, March 23, at 7:15 p.m. on Thursday, March 27 and at 1 p.m. on Wednesday, April 2. Tickets cost $12 general admission, $10 for Rosendale Theatre Collective members. For information call (845) 658-8989 or visit http://rosendaletheatre. org. – Frances Marion Platt
of tactile detail typical of DreamWorks’ past oeuvre; we can make out every pore on Peabody’s realistically doggylike black nose. It won’t push any Pixar product off its perch at the top of the cartooning hill, but visually, Mr. Peabody and Sherman certainly succeeds at morphing the sketchy output of Jay Ward’s studio into an acceptably-modern-but-still-recognizable 21st-century format. The lead voice actors are up to the task, if not outstanding; more fun are some of the cameo roles, including Stephen Colbert as Penny’s father, Stanley Tucci as Leonardo da Vinci and Mel Brooks as Albert Einstein. Allison Janney gets to munch the most scenery as Mrs. Grunion, the nasty woman from Child Protective Services who wants to take Sherman away from Peabody. Stuffed to bursting into tweedy outfits in bellicose shades of pink, Grunion’s a ringer for that nadir of the evil education bureaucrat Dolores Umbridge, as portrayed by Imelda Staunton in the Harry Potter saga (minus the coy, breathy British accent). Conclusion: Mr. Peabody and Sherman is an enjoyable outing, so long as you remember that this is a dip into the world of Jay Ward and take nothing about it seriously. With its silly humor (including an occasional visual of characters being excreted out the rear ends of such constructs as the Trojan horse, which should greatly appeal to 8-year-olds),
its rollicking action and heartwarming ending, the movie is very kid-friendly – so long as you remember to have that little talk afterwards about not biting people or sticking them with swords. Oh, and change the subject if your little one asks you to explain Agamemnon’s joke about Oedipus. – Frances Marion Platt

T
his Sunday afternoon, Upstate Films Rhinebeck will host a special screening and question-and-answer session with screenwriter/actor/director Gerard Hurley (The Pride, 2008). Hurley will present his newest feature, The Pier, in which he plays an Americanized Irishman named Jack McCarthy who is duped into returning to his homeland by false tales that his long-estranged father Larry (Karl Johnson) is on his deathbed. Lili Taylor co-stars as an American tourist who provides some distraction from Jack’s battles with his dysfunctional family. The film was shot on location in Ireland, and you can catch the trailer at www.youtube.com/ watch?v=jFuzMw1dWj8. Gerard Hurley’s The Pier will be shown at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday, March 16 at Upstate Films, located at 6415 Montgomery Street (Route 9) in Rhinebeck.

Rainmaker, Manny & Lo or Being John Malkovich, or for her character Camille Cherski in the 90s TV series My So-Called Life. Place lends her stardust to the otherwiseunknown acting lineup of a new indie film titled You’re in Charge, the first feature by a seasoned cinematographer with strong mid-Hudson ties, Tom Krueger. O+ Festival board member Alexandra Marvar is also the film’s producer. The tale of an ex-con and his unemployed brother who imperil the family’s nest egg to launch a dubious business venture dispensing “alternative” medicines, the comedy was shot in Lafayette, Louisiana and is being lauded for its fabulous soundtrack and its authentic depiction of Cajun culture.

Ocean of Pearls this Saturday in Rhinebeck The monthly Movies with Spirit community film series will show the award-winning drama Ocean of Pearls, about the values that one places on one’s identity when challenged by assimilation, on Saturday, March 15 at 7 p.m. at the Episcopal Church of the Messiah at 6436 Montgomery Street in Rhinebeck. Actor Omid Abtahi, known for his role in the 2012 political thriller Argo, stars as Amrit Singh, a gifted young surgeon in Detroit whose parents emigrated from India in the 1960s. Singh, a transplant specialist, is offered a chance to be the top surgeon at a hospital’s new transplant center. He is thrilled, but senses that his outward appearance as a practicing Sikh will get in the way. So he shuns his family and does the unimaginable for a
Sikh: he forsakes his turban and cuts his long black hair. But shedding his religious convictions proves far more complicated than he imagines. The semi-autobiographic film, written and directed by Sarab Singh Neelam, a Sikh gastroenterologist from Troy, Michigan, is a penetrating, universal tale of self-realization. The 2008 film runs 97 minutes and is rated PG-13. The screening will be followed by a discussion. Refreshments will be served. The monthly Movies with Spirit series seeks to stimulate people’s sense of joy and wonder, inspire love and compassion and support individual cultures, faith paths and beliefs while simultaneously transcending them. The films are screened in diverse houses of worship and reverence across Ulster and Dutchess Counties at 7 p.m., usually on the third Saturday of every month. The series has no religious affiliation. Attendees over age 12 are asked to contribute a suggested $5 per person to offset series expenses. For more information, call (845) 389-9201 or e-mail gerryharrington@mindspring.com.

You would think that, what with sowing cabbage and Brussels sprouts seeds for transplants last week, starting tomato transplants in early April, grafting to make new Korean mountain ash and apple trees and…, any appreciation for propagation would be fulfilled. But no. The seeds within a freshly eaten kumquat – why not plant them? Some
“Make new plants,” whispered the devil on my left shoulder of the seeds within a just-eaten hardy passionfruit (Passiflora incarnata): Plant them also. Not that every seed gets planted – just some of the more unusual ones, or just a few of those that are more usual. Without any restraints, a forest of apple and pear trees would have long ago inundated me. My mania came to the fore again yesterday as I was neatening up some houseplants. The rose geranium had grown very leggy, with three or four lanky shoots, almost leafless except near their ends, stretched out to a very unattractive two-foot length. All that was needed to bring the plant back to its visual glory was to cut everything back to some tufts of leaves sprouting
near its base – which I did. But those pruned stems: Could I really just toss them into the compost pile? No. “Make new plants,” whispered the devil on my left shoulder – which I did. All that was needed to make more of this relatively easy-to-propagate plant was to cut the pruned stems into four-inch lengths, with each bottom cut just below a node and each top cut just above a node. Best wound healing is at nodes, so such cuts avoid dead stubs with poor healing. All but two or three leaves were removed from the four-inch stem segments at the ends of the stems in order to strike a balance between cutting down water loss from the as-yet-unrooted stem pieces and allowing for some photosynthesis to feed the stem. To grow new leaves and roots, the leafless stem segments will have to rely on their stored energy reserves. To save space, I filled a flowerpot with potting soil and poked each stem segment about twothirds of its length deep into the soil, then watered. A clear plastic cover over the planted pot increases humidity the further to reduce transpiration of water from leaves, until roots form. Pruning shrubs, which generates a lot of stems, could be a real test of my restraint. Shrubs are shrubs because they generally don’t have long-lived permanent trunks, like trees. Every year, new stems arise from at or near ground level. The way to prune shrubs, then, is to capitalize on this characteristic by so-called renewal pruning, each year removing some oldest stems and excess youngest stems (suckers). Pruning is done near or at ground level. In so doing, the roots get older and older, but no stem ever gets very old, and youngest stems have room to develop. Easy enough. The wrinkle in renewal pruning is knowing when a stem has overstayed its welcome. If you know the plant, you can just look up the information
– in my book The Pruning Book, for instance, in which I group all shrubs into one of four pruning categories. Easiest of all is to prune is the category of shrubs that includes witch hazel and tree peony. These shrubs perform well on old stems and make few suckers, so no annual pruning is necessary to keep them looking prim and proper. Lilac and forsythia are in the category of shrubs that flower on one-year-old stems originating up in the plant off older stems. So individual stems need not be cut back until they are a few years old. Each year, though, many new sprouts originate at ground level – too many. Their numbers need to be reduced enough so that those that remain have sufficient elbowroom as they age to replace older stems that will be cut away. Kerria is in the category of shrubs, along with snowberry, abelia and rambling roses, that blossom best on one-year-old wood growing up right from ground level. Prune them by cutting away all stems two years old (and older, if a shrub has not been or is not being pruned annually). Members of the final category, counting butterfly bush and Hills-of-Snow hydrangea among them, perform best on each season’s new growing shoots. They’re also very easy to prune: Just cut the whole shrub down in spring. That’s a lot of stems for propagating. Still, restraint is easy with butterfly bush, because the stems are typically dead here anyway by the end of winter. The roots survive, though, giving rise each spring to shoots that flower in summer.

Rose geranium cuttings
My filberts present one more wrinkle in shrub pruning. Filbert can be trained as a tree or as a shrub. But consider: Filberts are susceptible to a disease, filbert blight, that can eventually kill a stem. This makes a good case for renewal pruning – i.e., growing them as shrubs. On the other hand, squirrels love filbert nuts, and one way to keep them at bay is with metal squirrel guards, feasible only on filberts trained as trees. For now, dogs, cats, traps and high grass have kept squirrels at bay, so I’m opting for filbert shrubs. The stems are very difficult to root, so today’s prunings don’t even tempt me. – Lee Reich Any gardening questions?

NIGHT SKY
Quick-change month Time marches on and so does the sky
M
arch – the only month that is also a verb – implies action. This year it overachieves, with snappy animation during the next few weeks. Consider: March brings the year’s fastest sunlight gain, especially in the afternoon when we most notice it (April provides the quickest gain in morning sunshine). Each day now has three minutes of additional light compared with the day before. Each sunset happens about two minutes later, shoving back evening darkness. Mars and Jupiter are both striking during March. Jupiter rules as the night’s brightest “star,” and dominates from on high as soon as night falls. Though a bit less brilliant, Mars is brightening explosively, and now finally rises at a reasonable hour: 10 p.m. By 11 p.m. it’s nicely up in the east, as a conspicuous orange star of magnitude -1, hovering next to blue Spica, Virgo’s main luminary. Mars is rapidly approaching our planet, ahead of reaching its near-point to Earth just three weeks from now. A major don’t-miss happens on Tuesday night, the 18th. As soon as the rising Moon clears those hills near your house (figure by 10:30 p.m. or so), you’ll see it forming a lovely triangle with orange Mars and blue Spica. Seasons change: Winter ends a week from Thursday, on the 20th, at three minutes to one in the afternoon. That’s when the Sun momentarily hovers directly over the Equator in South America. Here on Earth, one can almost feel the green blanket of buds sweep northward like a tide, now passing through Virginia and approaching Washington, DC as it marches up the map at the same speed that a baby carriage is typically pushed. Our local forests don’t get their canopy until the first week of May, and we’ve still got to get through our often-snowy month of March. But now it’s a piece of cake. The noonday Sun stands four of its own widths higher each week. Its ever-more-direct intensity is palpable on exposed skin. Winter is broken on Earth and in the sky. It’s easy to shrug off the final icy mornings, because the signs of nature have given their promise: It is the time of change. Speaking of which, a nice team including the old Star Trek favorite writer Brannon Braga have finally created a new version of the old beloved Carl Sagan TV series Contact. I can’t ignore it, since I’m repeatedly asked what I think of it. My answer: I’m not watching it.

Clearwater potluck on Saturday at Maritime Museum in Kingston
Skilled healers and psychics will participate in a benefit organized to help the Good Neighbor Food Pantry of Woodstock on Saturday, March 15
Don’t get me wrong; Neil Tyson is a wonderful choice to popularize TV astronomy today, for several reasons, even if I would have preferred the host to be a woman. He’s a worthy successor to Sagan, and a nice guy, too. It’s just that such science shows are aimed at mass audiences, so there’s no new knowledge for me – only frustration as I lament the omission of deep non-mainstream views, like the cosmos being correlative with the observer or consciousness. I’d wince at items offered as “givens” (like a “birth” of the universe at a Big Bang) that are actually mysterious and unknown, or large swaths of airtime devoted to mass-appeal astro-topics that strike me as myopic or superficial: that kind of thing. Can’t watch. But don’t let that dissuade you; a remake was overdue. – Bob Berman Want to know more?

SOMETIMES WE’RE ASKED
Why newspapers? Print is dead, right? Wrong. Studies show readers retain more of what they read in print because it’s easier to focus. Fewer distractions. The web is great for breaking news bytes, but our in-depth stories are best consumed in print. We only write local stories, so every issue is bound to contain something you didn’t know about your community. You lose that sense of discovery on the web, where you’re less likely to happen on something you weren’t looking for. And while our website is too primitive for such things, many sites collect browsing data for advertising. Our ads would never be so presumptious. We print on recycled paper when possible, so it’s sustainable—and accessible to those without the Internet or iPads; not to be overlooked in a Democracy.

information about these wonderful cats, please email carriechapman@gmail. com or call (347)258-2725. PROJECT CAT is a non-profit cat RESCUE AND SHELTER. Please help get cats off the streets and into homes. Adopt a healthy and friendly cat or kitten companion for a lifetime. High Falls/Accord area. 845-687-4983 or visit our cats at www. projectcat.org
I am a young, grey, female kitty with a white â&#x20AC;&#x153;buttonâ&#x20AC;? on my chest. I am high energy, love to play with other cats and their toys, I love people (especially my caregiver) and give my affection freely. I am a little less than one year old, have been spayed, and had my vaccinations. I have all the physical and behavioral characteristics of a Russian Blue kitty. If you would like to take me home with you, please contact my foster mom at 845-679-7922. FOR ADOPTION: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Copperâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sweet Creamâ&#x20AC;? & â&#x20AC;&#x153;Williamâ&#x20AC;?; Copper (big, copper boy w/marbleized swirl pattern) & Sweet Cream (petite cream color girl) were found together when they were feral. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re now tame & oh, so sweet! William is especially shy. Perfect scenario is if all 3 could be adopted together as they support one another. If interested in just Copper & Sweet Cream or only William, please let me know! For more
