Buglisi Dance Theatre performs this Saturday at Kaatsbaan in Tivoli

STAGE

ETTY ON STAGE THIS TUESDAY IN NEW PALTZ

S Founded by Jacqulyn Buglisi and three other former principal dancers from the now-defunct Martha Graham Dance Company, the Buglisi Dance Theatre (BDT) has returned to the Kaatsbaan International Dance Center in Tivoli as artists-in-residence. This Saturday, BDT will perform an eclectic program that brings to life two musical generations, terrifying angels, sacred deserts and lakedwelling female phantoms. Saturday’s program will feature a workin-progress reflecting the Buglisi dancers’ collaboration this year with composer Justin Dello Joio and his father Norman Dello Joio. BDT will perform a preview of dances set to Justin’s Elegy: To an Old Musician ( for Cello and Piano) and Norman’s piano piece Prelude: To a Young Musician. Also on the schedule are four works from BDT’s repertoire: Threshold (1991) is based on Rainer Maria Rilke’s poem “Elegy I” and set to music by Arvo Pärt. Sand (2007), set to Philip Glass’s String Quartet No. 5, is the first of Buglisi’s environmental trilogy. Zjawa (2013) is inspired by a ghost ballad by 19th-century Polish poet Adam Mickiewicz. And This Is Forever (2013), based on Mildred Cram’s 1934 novella Forever, is set to music by Steve Margoshes, who will perform the piano accompaniment live. The performance by the Buglisi Dance Theatre begins at 7:30 p.m. on April 26. Tickets cost $30 for adults, $10 for children and for student rush seats, the latter available at the door with ID. For more information call (845) 757-5106 or visit www.kaatsbaan.org. The Kaatsbaan International Dance Center is located at 120 Broadway in Tivoli. – Frances Marion Platt

For the record According to Alan Strauber, president of the Calvert Vaux Preservation Alliance, the Hoyt House was not obtained by eminent domain by New York State, contrary to information provided by another source, as last week’s Almanac article on the Hoyt House renovation stated. Also, the Preservation Alliance raised money for the masonry restoration, not the alarm system, as was stated. Our apologies.

Bard screens Center for Visual Music rarities, including “lost” John Cage film, this Saturday The fact that the eminent Minimalist composer John Cage left his personal artistic archives in trust to Bard College continues to pay off for our region in surprising ways. A sister organization in California called the Center for Visual Music (CVM), which preserves and catalogues important works of avant-garde music and art committed to film and video media,

UNY-New Paltz’s Parker Theatre will host a one-woman performance of Etty, adapted and performed by Susan Stein and directed by Austin Pendleton, on Tuesday, April 29 at 7:30 p.m. Stein’s adaptation of the diaries and letters of Etty Hillesum, a brilliant Jewish Dutch woman, murdered in Auschwitz, who loved everything about life from sex and strawberry cake to Rilke and Dostoevsky, is performed in a mesmerizing, heartbreaking evening of theatre that honors its subject. Hillesum wrote the life that she was living: her loves, her work, her wry sense of humor and her struggle to sustain humanity in the face of the Nazis’ unspeakable brutality. Stein’s adaptation of Hillesum’s writings and the performance of Etty’s words as if they were her own is not only a unique chance to get to know Etty, but also to think again deeply about our own responsibility in a world where the promise of “never again” has yet to be realized. Admission is free. For more information on this annual Louis and Mildred Resnick Holocaust Memorial Presentation, call Gerald Sorin, director of the Resnick Institute, at 255-5016.

as well as experimental animation, has put together a program of works from the 1950s to the 1980s that were made by Cage or influenced his oeuvre in some way. The package, titled “New Restorations and Discoveries from Center for Visual Music” and curated by CVM’s Cindy Keefer, will be screened this Saturday, April 26 at 7 p.m. at the Jim Ottaway, Jr. Film Center on the Bard campus. The centerpiece of the program is

the East Coast premiere of The Sun Film (1956), a newly discovered film by Cage and Richard Lippold about a kinetic art sculpture. Laura Kuhn, director of the John Cage Trust, will introduce it. Also on the program are rare works by Jordan Belson, including LSD (1962), a presentation reel from the legendary San Francisco Vortex Concerts (1959) and Quartet (1983). Early films by Oskar Fischinger – an influence on Cage, Belson and many others – include 35mm prints

of Spirals, Ornament Sound and Studie nr 5. Made in upstate New York, Turn, Turn, Turn (1966) by Jud Yalkut is “a kinetic alchemy of the light and electronic works of Nicolas Schöffer, Julio Le Parc, USCO and Nam June Paik, with sound by USCO.” Admission is free, and no reservations are required.

ow best to define the differences between film and theater, and more specifically generic playgoing and that dazzling experience summed up as “Broadway?” How about simply summoning the person – and idea – that is Patti LuPone? The two-time Tony Award-winner is doing a one-night benefit for the revived and eternally revvedup Woodstock Playhouse on Saturday, May 3 at 7:30 p.m. LuPone is the Broadway musical star of our era. She came out of the first graduating class of Juilliard’s Drama Division, alongside the equally talented Kevin Kline. She was placed into starring roles on Broadway right off the

bat, and then hit it huge as Eva Perón in the Andrew Lloyd Webber hit Evita, after which she headed for the London stage when the film role was handed to Madonna. In the decades since, La LuPone has been nominated half a dozen times for major theater awards; she has played the leads in Sweeney Todd, Les Misérables, Anything Goes, Gypsy, Sunset Boulevard and Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown. She has done onewoman shows, concert performances and award-winning stints at opera. LuPone’s one of the few A-listers who can pack a house the way that Ethel Merman or Mary Martin, Julie Andrews or Angela Lansbury once could. And she does so in both New York and London, as well as everywhere she sings. The performance coming to Woodstock features Patti LuPone with “Mayor of Broadway” Seth Rudetsky, who leads the star through tales of her career and backstage revelations, revealed recently in a best-selling memoir, question-and-

answer volleys and LuPone’s own singing of a host of standards from her many hit shows. The Woodstock Playhouse, meanwhile, has built on new producer/owners Doug Farrell and Randy Conti’s decades of success building local Broadway talent at their New York Conservatory of the Arts to create what is now one of the region’s best summer rep theaters. Productions pegged to hit the boards this summer, starting June 19, include Spamalot, Jesus Christ Superstar, The Three Musketeers and West Side Story. Tickets for the May 3 gala include VIP options with dinner at the neighboring Cucina Restaurant and backstage time with LuPone and Seth Rudetsky. – Paul Smart Broadway at the Woodstock Playhouse with Patti LuPone & Seth Rudetsky, Saturday, May 3, 7:30 p.m., $150+, Woodstock Playhouse, 103 Mill Hill Road, Woodstock; (845) 679-6900, www. woodstockplayhouse.org.

Basilica Hudson has already established itself with a host of trendy events over the years, including Patti Smith and Sonic Youth concerts, and the Valley’s first major art fair. It’s a solar-powered center for arts and performance located in a 17,000-squarefoot former factory on the Hudson River, run under the creative direction of Melissa Auf der Maur and Tony Stone. This Friday and Saturday, April 25 and 26, Basilica Hudson kicks off its 2014 season with a multidisciplinary performance, Eclipse, that was originally workshopped in the space before moving on to New York City’s prestigious Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) Next Wave Festival. In keeping with Hudson’s emerging new reputation as a home for performative and multiarts pieces in transmission, digital and multimedia formats, Eclipse features the choreography of award-winner Jonah Bokaer in collaboration with avant-garde artist Anthony McCall. For the new piece, McCall has created an installation comprised of a slanting grid of 36 hanging bulbs that hover above the stage in staggered dimmings and heights, reflected in the dancers’ movements. The 60-minute work featuring four dancers will be viewable from all sides, with an intended cinematic effect accentuated by a sound design that includes a softly whirring film projector, a landing helicopter and the hushed rumble of a passing train. The work is timed to complete itself at sundown. The piece was commissioned by the 2012 BAM Next Wave Festival, where it inaugurated the BAM Fisher Theater. In addition to two performances on Friday and Saturday evenings, April 25 and 26, at 7:30 p.m., company members will spend the week prior in residence at Basilica Hudson offering educational workshops for both adults and children. – Paul Smart Eclipse, Friday/Saturday, April 25/26, 7:30 p.m., $20, Basilica Hudson, 110 South Front Street, Hudson; www.basilicahudson.com.

SOUTHERN EXPOSURE Blue Horse Repertory Company performs Tennessee Williams rarities at Saugerties Performing Arts Factory

ennessee Williams’ ability as a playwright to delineate fragile family relationships and write characters who delicately walk the line of mental stability is demonstrated in his best-known plays, The Glass Menagerie and A Streetcar Named Desire. So memorable are those plays, in fact, that they’re usually what come to mind when thinking of Tennessee Williams. But like all great writers, there was more to him than just his greatest hits. This weekend, the Saugerties-based Blue Horse Repertory Company will perform two of the lesser-known plays written by Tennessee Williams, along with a parody of The Glass Menagerie written by contemporary playwright Christopher Durang in “Tennessee Williams, Straight up and Salted with a Twist of Durang”: a mini-festival of plays at the Saugerties Performing Arts Factory (SPAF) on Friday and Saturday, April 25 and 26 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, April 27 at 3 p.m. The company’s James Occhino will appear in Straight up and Salted as Tennessee Williams, providing a narrative thread and commentary for the audience, linking the works through Williams’ poetry, prose and musings about life. The two plays by Tennessee Williams are Lady of Larkspur Lotion and A Perfect Analysis Given by a Parrot. “We’ve been touring these short plays with the company for the past year-and-a-half,” says Lora Lee Ecobelli, one of the founders of Blue Horse Rep. “They’re kind of obscure pieces that don’t get done very often. They’re both comedies, and beautifully rich and wonderful. No one writes characters for women like Tennessee Williams.” Many of the actors in the Blue Horse Repertory Company are also members of Hudson Air Radio Theatre – “We’re the voices in your head” is how they bill themselves – and the troupe’s enjoyment of the absurdist humor of playwright Christopher Durang led them to pair his lighthearted Menagerie parody For Whom the Southern Belle Tolls with the works by Williams. The one-act Southern Belle will be performed at SPAF as a radio play with live sound effects. The ensemble performance of the three plays will be directed by Andrea Cunliffe and features Elizabeth Breslin, Bob Hanley, Sam Reilly, Byron Nilsson, James Occhino, Judy Allen, Lora Lee Ecobelli and Nancy Rothman, the latter five actors courtesy of the Actors’ Equity Association. The Blue Horse Repertory Company was founded about seven years ago in Putnam County by Ecobelli and her late husband, Leo Burmester. Today the Company operates out of Saugerties under Ecobelli’s artistic direction, along with that of co-founder, actress and director Peggity Price. The company doesn’t have a permanent home base at this time, but can be found performing in locations throughout the Hudson Valley. And later this spring, audiences will be able to see a filmed version of one of the Tennessee Williams plays. Sergio Rico, a young filmmaker from Hudson, was so taken with the Blue Horse Rep’s performance of Lady of Larkspur Lotion that he developed it with the existing cast into a short film featuring Ecobelli, Occhino and Rothman. The film is in editing now and set for release later this spring. The trailer can be viewed at www.bluehorserepertory.com. – Sharyn Flanagan “Tennessee Williams, Straight Up and Salted with a Twist of Durang,” Friday/ Saturday, April 25/26, 7:30 p.m., Sunday, April 27, 3 p.m., $20/$15, Saugerties Performing Arts Factory, 169 Ulster Avenue, Saugerties; (518) 947-8248, www. bluehorserepertory.com.

SHOW

SUNY-New Paltz stages Eric Overmyer’s On the Verge next two weekends

For laughs Caroline Rhea headlines Woodstock Comedy Festival fundraiser at Bearsville this Saturday

ne of the great pleasures of the rediscovery of “herstory” promoted by the Second Wave of the women’s movement was the unearthing of lost stories of daring female explorers of the 19th century: Harriet Chalmers Adams, Gertrude Bell, Isabella Bird, Nelly Bly, Aimée Crocker, Alexandra David-Néel, Edith Durham, Isabelle Eberhardt, Mary Kingsley, “Annie Londonderry” Kopchovsky, Ida Pfeiffer, Annie Smith Peck, Hester Stanhope, Alexine Tinné. In 1987 a male playwright and TV scriptwriter, Eric Overmyer – who later won Writers’ Guild of America and Edgar Awards for his work on

Art Supplies in the next life?

The Wire – took inspiration from these ahead-of-their-time characters to write On the Verge, in which three Victorian Era women travel to Terra Incognita. The play will be performed over the next two weekends by the Department of Theatre Arts at SUNY-New Paltz’s McKenna Theatre. But this is not just a tale of feminist high adventure, for Mary, Alex and Fanny quickly find that they are traveling through time as well as space, eventually ending up in a Caribbean nightclub in 1955 and wrestling with evolving idioms, technology and pop culture along the way. The only other characters in the play – eight of them, including a cannibal impersonating a German dirigible pilot, a baby yeti, a poetry-spouting beatnik troll, a Vietnamese psychic and a personification of Death known as Mr. Coffee – are all supposed to be played by the same actor.

oodstock’s fast becoming a bona fide festival town; and we’re no longer talking about any confusion with that big music event that utilized the community’s hallowed name 45 years ago elsewhere in the region. Nope, we’re talking about a place with a well-established film festival, a rising writers’ festival, the Byrdcliffe Festival, a former Poetry Festival and plenty of other fests that come and go each year. Enter the new Woodstock Comedy Festival, now struggling out of its infancy and pushing to get its name on everyone’s lips with a fundraising show featuring the fabulous Caroline Rhea this Saturday, April 26 at the Byrdcliffe Theater. The Canadian-born Rhea rose through standup to gain fame as the original host of the reality TV show The Biggest Loser, play a major role on Sabrina, the Teenage Witch and replace Rosie O’Donnell on what would become her own eponymously named program. For her upcoming Bearsville gig, titled “Laughingstock,” she’ll be joined by funnywomen Phoebe Robinson of MTV, Verna Gillis and Audrey Rapoport. The Woodstock Comedy Festival, set to take place September 19 through 21 this year, was founded in 2011 by semi-retired Psych professor and former Woodstock Town Board member Chris Collins, who noted his wish for “a good laugh and a good cause.” Net profits from the Festival, which mixes national headliners with up-and-coming local talents in keeping with Montreal’s great, long-lasting Just for Laughs festival each year, will be donated to charity partners the Polaris Project and Family of Woodstock for the battle against human trafficking and domestic violence. Talk about really winning smiles that last! – Paul Smart Laughingstock with Caroline Rhea, fundraiser for Woodstock Comedy Festival: Comedy for a Cause, Saturday, April 26, 8 p.m., $25, 7:30 p.m. pre-show Meet & Greet, $20, Bearsville Theater, 291 Tinker Street (Route 212), Woodstock; www.woodstockcomedyfestival.org.

“On the Verge speaks to the feminine journey of longing and self-discovery through history. It is a play about language: the language of movement, time, space, change; the language of the heart and the language we speak,” says assistant professor Connie Rotunda, who is directing the show at SUNY-New Paltz. The production is dedicated to the memory of former Department of Theatre Arts chair Dr. Beverly Brumm, who died

MOVIE

ALMANAC WEEKLY THROUGH MOST OF THE FILM HIS MOUTH wears a frozen grin that often seems inappropriate – especially when he’s talking about subjects like “enhanced interrogation techniques” and “collateral damage”

The cold equations Donald Rumsfeld ponders his career sans remorse in Errol Morris’ The Unknown Known

irca 1980, this reviewer was honing her cinephilic chops working for the Association of Independent Video and Filmmakers (AIVF), a SoHo-based not-for-profit that provided arts services and advocacy for low-budget producers and directors. Among the services sometimes requested by AIVF’s clientele were letters of support for grant applications by aspiring filmmakers seeking funding to edit or distribute their works. One such request immediately caught every eye in the place: A quirky-but-talented guy with one acclaimed documentary already under his belt was working on an exposé of a little town in Florida where an absurdly disproportionate number of residents were missing digits, allegedly as part of an organized insurance fraud scheme. He wanted to call it Nub City. That guy with the strange movie idea was named Errol Morris, whose 1978 documentary about a California pet cemetery, Gates of Heaven, ended up on Roger Ebert’s all-time Ten Best Films list and inspired the culinary event chronicled in Les Blank’s early short Werner Herzog Eats His Shoe. The German director had lost his wager that the notoriously distractible Morris would never complete Gates of Heaven; he subsequently provided $2,000 in seed money for Morris to start compiling footage for the doc about the Florida town. But Nub City never got made, due to death threats that Morris claims to have received from local residents. Instead, he rejiggered the footage that he had shot of the town’s oddball citizenry into a charmingly weird docu-postcard titled Vernon, Florida. Like his contemporary Blank, Morris was attracted to the blue-collar stories of America’s rural byways and backwaters. But while Blank keeps his main focus on celebrating regional music and cuisines, Morris is more of an investigative journalist, with a muckraker’s heart and an acquired taste for the darker side of human endeavors. Several projects profiling bank robbers and serial killers never got off the ground. It was The Thin Blue Line (1988) – a film that directly led to the exoneration of Randall Dale Adams, a Texan wrongfully convicted of the murder of a police officer – that truly cemented Morris’ reputation as one of the greatest documentarians in modern cinema. Since then, Morris has created such acclaimed works as A Brief History of Time (1991), a biopic about physicist Stephen Hawking, and the Best Documentary Feature Oscar-winning The Fog of War: 11 Lessons from the Life of Robert S. McNamara (2003), both with scores by Philip Glass. He continues his examination of the ways in which US Secretaries of Defense manage to rationalize decisions that lead to the deaths of tens of thousands of people in his latest opus, The Unknown Known: The Life and Times of Donald Rumsfeld. While Morris clearly has an agenda, he seems to have learned long ago what any diligent journalist learns over time: that if you want to sustain your reputation

Donald Rumsfeld talks to Errol Morris in The Unknown Known

for professional objectivity without sacrificing your right to have a point of view, all you need to do is let your subject talk long enough. And people attracted to positions of power do seem to like to hear themselves talk. Whether he’s a member of a town planning board or a presidential cabinet, a fool or a villain will soon enough proffer an ample selection of foolish or villainous quotes to choose from. You don’t usually need to press him too hard before he’s “hoist with his own petard,” as Shakespeare’s Hamlet put it. In Rumsfeld’s case, Morris is sparing with the barbed questions, only once in the entire film displaying outright incredulity. The former congressman and two-term Defense honcho – who served as secretary under both the Gerald Ford and George W. Bush administrations – seems absurdly pleased and flattered by the invitation to read and comment on some of his Dictaphone notes-to-self and his famous “snowflakes,” as his upperechelon staff termed the memoranda with which Rummy showered them daily. Indeed, through most of the film his mouth wears a frozen grin that often seems inappropriate – especially when he’s talking about subjects like “enhanced interrogation techniques” and “collateral damage” – and never quite reaches his eyes. When the director catches him in

a lie, he doesn’t throw it in Rumsfeld’s smiley face; he just cuts to a clip of him admitting the opposite in some past news conference or other. Though The Unknown Known is in its essence a talking-head documentary, it’s by no means dull or dry. Now that he can command a budget that doesn’t rely on $2,000 stakes from Werner Herzog, the director is able to employ sophisticated cinematic techniques that help keep the viewer well-engaged in Rumsfeld’s reminiscences about his long and dramafilled career. Morris invented a gadget that he calls an Interrotron, which uses multiple mirrors that allow the interviewee to make simulated eye contact with his questioner while looking straight into the camera. The interviews in this case are also shot from multiple angles, varied by use of what appears to be an old-fashioned switcher rather than edited from multiple takes. To ease the eye further, Morris interpolates archival news footage, animated graphics and overlays, including recurring dictionary entries as his subject prevaricates endlessly about the meaning of Defense Department terminology. Danny Elfman supplied the film score this time out, and it’s puckish

and ominous by turns. How audiences interpret The Unknown Known will depend to some extent on their personal politics – in particular, on how one feels about the invasion of Iraq based on dubious reports of WMDs, or about the torture and indefinite incarceration without trial of suspected terrorists. But even if you merely harbor vague doubts about the veracity of what you’re told by government officials in general, you will likely find Rumsfeld’s bloodless, self-serving performance both chilling and instructive. As Hamlet put it four centuries ago, “A man may smile, and smile, and be a villain.” – Frances Marion Platt

FESSER QUIT HIS MORNING RADIO TALK SHOW in Madrid, called Gomaespuma (“foam rubber” in English), to move to Rhinebeck, which did not go over well with his fans

Through Spanish eyes

Oblong Books in Rhinebeck hosts 100 Miles from Manhattan book-signing with Guillermo Fesser this Sunday

panish radio star Guillermo Fesser is always on the lookout for a story, and after moving to Rhinebeck with his family from Madrid in 2002, he found no dearth of material – starting with the cab ride from the airport. The driver told him about his participation in Reverend Moon’s Unification Church and then segued into his sons’ success as long-distance runners and the benefits of running barefoot. Before arriving at his house, Fesser had found his métier, and a memoir was born. The cab driver’s story constitutes the first chapter of Á Cien Millas de Manhattan (100 Miles from Manhattan), published in Spain in 2008. The book was a best-seller, inspiring a Spanish TV news program, weekly radio show and Huffington Post blog. It has just been translated into English, so now locals can read about themselves through the eyes of Fesser, whose curiosity is matched by his empathy, friendliness and wry humor. Fesser befriends practically everyone he meets, including a bison rancher from Texas, a former star of Dark Shadows, sculptor John Corcoran (who created a memorial for the late Wall Street Journal journalist Daniel Pearl), New Yorker cartoonist Danny Shanahan, Kermit Love, the late creator of Big Bird, an engineer who works on New York City’s

steam system, a house restorer and a high school guidance counselor. In each case he gleans a narrative that unearths the extraordinary from the ordinary and leads to numerous digressions on such topics as the Underground Railroad, IBM computer technology and the space launch, and what to do if you get bitten by a rattlesnake. Some encounters lead to adventures, including a fishing trip in the Alaskan wilderness and iceboating on the Hudson. The text is sprinkled with observations on the oddities of America: the mania for yard sales; the penchant for private parties (in Spain people party out in the streets); the abundant, amazing, supersized nature (he initially mistakes a hummingbird for a bug resembling a “penguin embryo”); Americans’ dislike of food “with eyes”; the siting of houses out in the open (in Spain they are behind walls and fences, and he explains the reason for the difference). Fesser had quit his morning radio talk show in Madrid, called Gomaespuma (“foam rubber” in English), to move to Rhinebeck, which did not go over well with his fans: He’d hosted the show for 25 years, and its combination of journalism and humor had attracted a devoted following. But Fesser wanted to expose his three young children to their American roots (his wife, Sarah Hill, is

Guillermo Fesser making chorizo at home in Rhinebeck

from Rhinebeck) and needed a change. The one-year sabbatical stretched into two, during which time he and his filmmaker brother wrote a script. Fesser went back to Spain to make the film, returning to Rhinebeck in 2009; he now contributes weekly stories to a Spanish news show, with one foot on each continent. Meanwhile, 100 Miles from Manhattan has prompted invitations from various universities for lectures and workshops on writing comedy and scripts. Fesser will be signing his book at Oblong Books in Rhinebeck this Sunday, April 27 at 1 p.m., followed by the Golden Notebook in Woodstock on June 28 (in between he’ll be doing signings in New York City). Almanac Weekly’s Lynn Woods spoke to Fesser at his Rhinebeck home one recent afternoon: LW: What made you want to switch from doing radio to writing a book? GF: What I like to do is tell a story and then figure out the best format. Some have to be told at dinner; some need a big screen; some should be on a radio show, but not necessarily in a book. All my life I’ve been exploring different media to see how they work. LW: Many times in 100 Miles you reference getting back to writing your script, but I wasn’t sure you were actually writing it, given all the people you were meeting and adventures you were having. GF: I was meeting so many interesting people that I convinced my brother to spend a sabbatical here the second year to help me write it. It’s called Candida and is about my cleaning lady, who plays herself. Interviewing people for many years on the radio, I thought some of the most interesting people weren’t movie stars or prime ministers, but some guy selling candy on the street. Candida is an example. She was in her late 60s and still cleaning houses. We put her on the show as a radio commentator and she

became very famous. She’d talked about how to clean the floor of the Titanic with vinegar and how the silverware on the ship needed to be cleaned. I remember growing up watching Planet of the Apes, and after an hour she told me that the foreigners have a lot of hair. She didn’t know what Americans looked like. LW: You grew up in Spain under the dictator Francisco Franco. What was that like, and how did that affect your approach to journalism? GF: I appreciate freedom so much because I’d seen enough of Franco. I was from a family of nine kids, which was mediumsized; Franco would give awards to the biggest family and some had 12, 13 kids. You felt if you got involved in politics, you’d get in trouble. At age 13 I was a newspaper editor at my private Catholic school, and the priests let me publish an article against the death penalty, even though it got me into trouble. Everybody lived in fear. On the other hand, it was a very friendly country with a lot of human contact. Most people didn’t have much money. In the 1970s, Coca-Cola decided to sell a bigger bottle of soda because Spain was a big consumer of soda, but it was a failure because nobody could fit the bottle in the refrigerator. Humor was a good vehicle to make a point without hurting anybody. My first show, in 1982, was scheduled between 2 and 4 a.m. on Saturday night. The country was so ready for something different. Five years later, 500,000 people were listening. People would put on their alarms to listen, and the discos would stop the music and air the show at 2 a.m. LW: You come from a creative family: Two of your sisters are painters, another is a landscaper, you have a brother who is a filmmaker, others are an engineer and architect. What do you attribute this to? GF: My father was very artist-oriented.

He would do puppet shows for us after school, build toys for us. We did a lot of painting and modeling together. He just passed away three weeks ago at age 91, and there were 30 people in the hospital room. The cafeterias in Spanish hospitals are great, and people actually go to eat there. When you are so emotionally sad, you don’t need coffee and cookie from a machine, but a beer and good ham and fish. LW: How did you first connect with Rhinebeck? GF: When I started on the radio, I was also working as a journalist on an earlymorning money news show. I wanted to be an international correspondent. I learned French and Italian and wanted to learn English. [My wife] Sarah had finished at the University of Arizona and was teaching English in Spain. I met her in a Brazilian bar, and she became my English teacher. After we got together, we always came here during the summer for a vacation. LW: What is the focus of your news stories for the weekly Spanish show you contribute to now? GF: This week I talked about women’s salaries. Obama is trying to implement equal salaries, and I tried to explain why women are still paid less, even though women’s rights are so developed. I also often focus on stories showing how the history of Spain and the US is mingled. For example, I did some research on the painting of George Washington’s inauguration, which shows him in the middle, Lafayette on one side and Diego de Gardoqui on the other. Gardoqui’s a guy from Spain who helped Washington feed the troops. Because Spain had a lot of colonies in Latin America, it didn’t want this help to be known officially. Also, the symbol of the dollar is actually the two columns of Hercules in the Gibraltar Strait, which is taken from the Spanish crown.

LW: What are other particularly timely issues have you addressed on the weekly show? GF: Fracking is starting to be an issue in Spain. American companies are exporting their expertise to Europe, and Spain is a big deal. I wanted to open up that debate, given the high unemployment and the potential promising jobs. I went to Pennsylvania [where fracking is occurring] and talked about that. Health care is another one…the People’s Party in Spain wants to privatize the universal health care system, and there was a big fight. They argued privatizing would be better and more efficient, but health care is not about making money. I was part of that battle, and on the radio show, I used the examples of privatization of the prisons in this country to show why health care should not be about profits. Obamacare has its flaws, but I think it’s the greatest thing that could happen in this country. LW: What strikes you as the biggest difference between America and Spain? GF: There are two things that hit me when I came here. One is the diversity of America, and the second is how Americans relate to nature. It’s hard to find nature in Europe; most people live in urban areas. This is in my show all the time: I say how a robin is a mean guy, who destroyed my rearview mirror when I left my car outside. LW: But Spaniards seem more connected to nature when it comes to food, according to your book. GF: In Spain you go to the markets, which are a big destination. In the whole town of Austin, there’s only one butcher. I wish I could have shrimp heads to cook with my rice. Part of this is related to the fact that Americans don’t want to know bad news. I was on a panel during the Iraq War, when it was decided the press would be embedded with the troops. I had a fight with my American colleagues about that. Years later I was talking to a journalist who did a study about why the American public accepted this. His answer was they didn’t really want to know [what was happening]. There’s a lot of denial. The system makes you want to be that way. People think it is a God-chosen land and whatever we do abroad is good. They use the excuse of collateral damage: To make an omelet you have to break some eggs. The media in this country doesn’t help.

is that affecting the country? GF: Spain was isolated for so long. But now that the country is getting more modernized and we finally have a generation ready to upgrade the country, many are working abroad. They study abroad for a semester and can’t come back because of the economy. Many are working in Latin America, which is booming. Many companies based in Spain are making money abroad, but they’re not creating jobs in Spain. LW: What’s your assessment of the current era, and America’s role in the world? GF: We’re in a time that is very confusing. It used to be what your parents told you at home was repeated on TV and radio. Now when you’re being told something at home, what you see on TV is the opposite. At the moment we have no leadership. It’s like a video game and nobody knows how to go to the next screen. We’re trying to change the rules of the game, when the whole game has to change. Is it worth it to have everything for free, and no jobs? On the other hand, many poor people [around the world] are now studying and looking for their first jobs. They’ll create something new. We’ll see big changes in rethinking our style of life. People are ready for downsizing their lives, in order to have a better community. People think you can export America everywhere, but everyone needs their own timing to evolve. I think of countries as being at different ages: as babies, old ladies, adolescents. Like a good parent, we have to help adolescents find their own way, rather than tell them what to do. LW: Do you miss Spain?

are also plenty of Spaniards in the US. It used to be just people who worked for a company and then went back to Spain, but now people from Spain come here to stay. In Greenwich, Connecticut, half of the bankers are from Spain, and Spain is third or fourth in terms of the country that contributes the most kids from abroad at Columbia University. LW: What other projects are you working on? GF: I’m doing a theater tour with my radio partner, where we’re onstage for an hour-and-a-half and give our thoughts and people ask questions. We did it in Barcelona and Madrid, and at the end of May we’ll be visiting Bilbao and Murcia. For the last three years I’ve been creating a collection of books for children in which the main character is a girl in a wheelchair. I created fun material with a telephone application, karaoke, riddles and other elements to allow them to interact. The girl is a normal person and very active in terms of justice. The book was picked up by many schools in Spain as required reading for the fourth and fifth grades, and I’d like to use the visual material I collected to create a musical for children. It would consist of an instruction manual of how to cope with people with disabilities. For example, when you meet a paraplegic, do you shake his hand? Do you help a blind guy to cross the street? One important thing in life is having fun; the other is learning. When you can do both of those things, bingo. 100 Miles from Manhattan book-signing by Guillermo Fesser, Sunday, April 27, 1 p.m., Oblong Books, 6422 Montgomery Street, Rhinebeck; (845) 876-0500, www. oblongbooks.com.

GF: Everything is about likes and how many friends you have. The goal of teenagers is to be famous and popular, which is completely wrong. I didn’t do a radio show to be famous; I happened to do it, and people liked it. And now [those values are] all over the world, because America exported them.

We’ve also started doing stuff for kids in Spain, including those in a Romanian community. We build facilities and offer classes and workshops to help the kids. To raise money, every year we hold a flamenco festival. The last thing we did was a tapas event, in which I called my famous friends to be waiters for a day. We ask them to come have fun with us. Many came and stayed for the whole day.

Justin Hayward Saturday May 17, 8pm - Bardavon

Los Doggies

Indeed, Los Doggies, a New Paltz indie rock institution, have solved the â&#x20AC;&#x153;aboutâ&#x20AC;? problem of songwriting largely by going meta and circular with it, as MacLeish did in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ars Poetica.â&#x20AC;? Nearly half of their songs are not just about songs, but about the present song: reflexive, selfnarrating, complex compositions in a tongue-in-cheek, Wagnerian hard rock vein, the lyrics of which describe what is going on harmonically, structurally and referentially, right now, within the music. Some people, at Bacchus, might find that in-gazing, closed-loop focus kind of barren, bereft of trucks and murder, evasive, aloof and silly; but we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care about those people right now. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re good people, talented people, but they need to make room for more things under Heaven. Look, when you sit down to write a song, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve only got a couple of options. There are girls and boys and all the related phenomena of â&#x20AC;&#x153;hard times.â&#x20AC;? There are nature, fair and foul, and boating accidents. Then, after that, all thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really left for a topic is the task before you, the song you are trying to write itself, right now, crying out to be both written and written about: Audenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mouth in a Petri dish. Van Morrison, I have been told, wrote an entire double album of songs, Hymns to the Silence, about his inability to write a single darn song anymore. I get that. On Los Doggiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; astonishingly good

new album eâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;rebody, the sprawling and hilarious song â&#x20AC;&#x153;Black Unstemmed Noteheadsâ&#x20AC;? is the epic keynote of this meta-musical impulse of theirs; but, in that style, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Westminster Quartersâ&#x20AC;? is the true sleeper and keeper of the bunch: an achingly beautiful, densely colored, slowblossoming bit of genuine musical wonder spun out of the four notes of a clock tower, and one of the best things that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever done. And theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done a lot, you know. In fact, I think Los Doggies are the most important New Paltz band of the last ten years. Idiosyncratic-as-if-they-hada-choice, armed for bear with their chops and theory ears (and their chest of instruments), Evan, Jesse and Matt changed the whole tone on the street with their weirdness and cleared the way for a generation of inventive, naĂŻve, arty and experimental bands to take hold in the bars and parlors of JamTown, USA.

E’rebody blows that thought away exactly one track in. Without sounding like any other band ever, “Spring Hill” announces a new Los Doggies. In fact, its lack of referentiality and meme-play are what make it so different. “Spring Hill” is a single-concept, single-effect song that twists and grows one musical figure, splits it into fugues and returns to a wholesome serenity. Its lyrics are clean and numinous poetry of nature and community and wonder: no winking, no self-reference, no music theory – just a gorgeous, spiraling, pastoral (but still hard-rocking) morning song. Two tracks later, “How to Make a Mouth in Nature” resumes this direction with even more audacity and commitment. It’s a thudding and clacking, bone-and-skin jungle epic with virtually no diversions in course. Its lyrics construct elaborate musical instruments out of the animal kingdom – a florid, lushly detailed epic of animism, anatomy and immanent spirituality. It’s really incredible. In a rather typically counterintuitive way, Los Doggies are following their new release with a soft hiatus while one of the members prepares for the imminent arrival of his own little animal kingdom. But you can catch them at Oasis in New Paltz this Saturday, April 26, bar time, as part of the Ludwig Day

tone of Cold War filmstrip edu-ganda may remind you of They Might Be Giants at times. Their reductive, repetitive, pixillated language play would give Gertrude Stein a thrill. Their quick-change musical skittishness evokes Zappa, Mr. Bungle, Naked City, Rush and cartoons. Of those comparisons, the Zappa and Bungle ones are the most pertinent – for philosophical, not musical reasons. Hovering over the Doggies’ shenanigans is the same question of authenticity and intent: Do they flit through these styles in mockery and playful contempt, exposing again and again how dead-simple the monolithic achievements of rock are

for the quick-witted; or is it all done in genuine love and homage? Well, both. Neither. You’ll never know. They probably don’t even know. But here’s a thing: When a band sticks around this long – even one as unusual as Los Doggies – you begin to think that you know what they are. You think you’ve got them. Oh, they’re versatile enough. They’ve always been able to throw off a punky, snarky little delight like “Black Out,” or a gooey slick of faux-Euro lounge jazz like “Pari Passu,” or the mockstentorian metal of “Buddha Thompson” and a million varieties of rich, modal strangeness. But maybe it had gotten to

fundraiser. While their sound-sourcing dexterity is the stuff of local legend (the drummer and the bassist both often play multiple instruments at once), they will forevermore have a hard time accounting for the hundreds of layers of detail, stacked harmonies and sonic enrichment on their remarkable new album, which everyone should buy – buy, I said – but they are a great, hard-rocking live band just the same, and they will edify you with some sung music theory, too. – John Burdick Los Doggies, the Big Takeover, Ranger Rick of Los Thujones, Saturday, April 26, 10:30 p.m., $4 for 21+, $6 for 18–21, Oasis Café, 58 Main Street, New Paltz.

Inside the Sosnoff Theater in Bardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fisher Center for the Performing Arts

Monumental memorial Verdiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Requiem to be performed with full orchestra and more than 100 singers this weekend at Bardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fisher center

hen we think of the great 19th-century Italian Romantic composer Giuseppe Verdi, we appreciate him mainly for his unrivaled contributions to the repertoire of grand opera. But he also managed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; overlapping his work on AĂŻda â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to compose one of the most highly regarded and widely performed funeral masses in the history of music. Verdiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s massive Messa da Requiem, with its double choir, will be presented this Friday and Saturday in the Sosnoff Theater of the Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts at Bard College. One might imagine that writing a spiritual work like a requiem mass might have represented a bit of indulgencebargaining for the afterlife on the part of a man known for tackling profane rather than sacred subject matter. But according to contemporaries, Verdi was at least an agnostic and perhaps an outright atheist. His motivation to create this atypical opus actually derived from his sorrow over the deaths of two men whom he admired: The Requiemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final movement, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Libera me,â&#x20AC;? started out as Verdiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contribution to a planned tribute to Gioachino Rossini following the latterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death in 1868: a composite work by 13 composers that ended up never being publicly performed. Five years later, the humanist author Alessandro Manzoni, one of Verdiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personal heroes, died, and the composer recycled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Libera meâ&#x20AC;? into a much larger work to honor him. So, unlike many of the great requiems in the classical canon, Verdiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s was a labor of love rather than a commission to honor some eminent churchman or statesman. It was also innovative in the composerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s insistence that female singers be included onstage in all performances of the Requiem: something that still wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t normally permitted by the Catholic Church in his time, since the piece was written to accompany the males-only ritual of a funeral mass. In the performances at Bard, music

director Leon Botstein will conduct members of the American Symphony Orchestra, the Bard College Conservatory Orchestra and the Longy Conservatory Orchestra, with chorus master James Bagwell wrangling more than 100 vocalists from the Longy Chorale, the Bard College Chamber Singers and the Bard Festival Chorale. Soprano Jennifer Check, mezzo Sara Murphy, tenor Brian Cheney and baritone Wayne Tigges will be the soloists. Peter Laki, visiting associate professor of Music at Bard, who has called the Verdi Requiem â&#x20AC;&#x153;a comprehensive vision of life and death,â&#x20AC;? will offer a preconcert talk at 7 p.m. This production of the Messa da Requiem is dedicated to the memory of William Weaver (1923â&#x20AC;&#x201C;2013), professor emeritus of Literature at Bard. Performances begin at 8 p.m. on April 25 and 26. Tickets cost $20 and $15, and can be ordered by calling the box office at (845) 758-7900 or online at http:// fishercenter.bard.edu â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Frances Marion Platt Verdiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Messa da Requiem, Friday/Saturday, April 25/26, 8 p.m., $20/$15, Sosnoff Theater, Richard B.

GARDENERâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S NOTEBOOK

Now, forager Check out these new books on wild edibles

â&#x20AC;&#x2122;m more of a cultivated-foodtype guy than a wild-food-type guy. I like to be able to go right out my back door to grab a tomato from a row of tomato plants than have to hike into the woods for a few nibbles of American blackcurrants. With that said, plenty of overlooked foods â&#x20AC;&#x201C; wild plants â&#x20AC;&#x201C; grow right at our feet. Lots of chickweed makes its way in among my early spring lettuces, and more purslane than I could possibly eat insinuates itself at the feet of my corn plants. Black raspberries grow in a semicultivated state along the edge of woods here. And when I do head for a walk in field or forest, how nice to come upon wineberries and other refreshing wild treats. And not everyone has a garden (shudder at the thought!). If, for one reason or another, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hankering for some wildness on your plate and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at a loss as to what purslane, chickweed or wineberry is, or what to do with them, help is on the way in the form of two books: Foraging & Feasting, by Marbletown herbalist Dina Falconi, and Foraged Flavor, by wild-food-to-NYCrestaurants-purveyor Tama Matsuoka D B G ONLINE .COM

Wong. The best thing about both these books is that they really use foraged food asâ&#x20AC;Śwell, food; not a nibble here, a nibble there. Dinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Creamed Wild Greensâ&#x20AC;? pack in a half-pound of chopped greens such as nettle, amaranth and lambâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quarter. Tomaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chilled Mango Soup with Sweet Spruce Tipsâ&#x20AC;? is flavored with a quartercup of spruce tips. Both books are a great leap forward from Euell Gibbonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1970s classic Stalking the Wild Asparagus, in which it seemed that every wild plant was made palatable with a large dollop of bacon fat. (Then again, Tomaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soup is sweetened with a quarter-cup of sugar and Dinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wild greens with a quarter-cup of your choice of butter, lard, chicken fat, olive oil, coconut oil or tallow.) Both books start out introducing the plants. Toma does it with a clear photograph of each. Dinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s does it with the beautiful colored-pencil botanical drawings of Accordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wendy Hollender, each page with details and notes on particular features of a plant as well as something about its habitat, life cycle, means of reproduction, size and various culinary uses; also any cautionary notes, such as the note that comfrey can cause liver damage or cancer. (Dina, on the basis of comfreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long use and her moderate consumption of it, pooh-poohs the danger, although I personally would not take anecdotal evidence as my guide.) Getting into the recipes, Tomaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book is arranged CELEBRATE LOCAL GARDENING!

seasonally, Dinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s according to use, such as soup, condiment, dessert et cetera. So which is the book to buy for a good book about foraging? Both! The recipes are quite different. The approaches are quite different. Even the wild plants are somewhat different. Toma makes no mention of American blackcurrant; Dina makes no mention of wineberry. But then, wild fruits are my favorite wild edibles, once I venture beyond my garden gates. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flip the coin and, rather than going mostly afield, bring some wildness into the garden: into Michael Juddâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s garden, in Frederick, Maryland, as described in his book Edible Landscaping with a Permaculture Twist. This is a fun book, in its writing, in its photographs (one case in point is the cover photo of a berry-smeared, happy little boy holding a bowlful of berries) and in its illustrations. It has also got good, solid information. My only beef with this book is the lack of an index. I find many permaculture books ponderous; not Michaelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, as evidenced by the â&#x20AC;&#x153;twistâ&#x20AC;? in the title. I have been accused of practicing permaculture, but contend that my farmden is, at best, permaculturesque. (For more on my permaculture perspective, see http:// leereich.blogspot.com/2010/09/lookingaround-at-my-fruit-trees-and.html.) Edible Landscaping with a Permaculture Twist is a good introduction to a lot of arenas: rainwater harvesting, gardening, building an earthen oven, growing mushrooms, making wine. In the permaculture tradition of integrating various components of a homestead, hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of Michaelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s instructions for building an earth oven: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Buy a case of really good microbrew in bottles and empty them, preferably down your gullet. These empty bottles are going to be part of your basefloor insulation.â&#x20AC;? He goes on, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve found

Enter Poisonous and Psychoactive Plants, a short, illustrated guide by Jim Meuninck. Plants canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always be neatly placed in either the edible, the poisonous or the psychoactive box. Pokeweed, for example, is listed in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Poisonous Wild Plantsâ&#x20AC;? chapter; but, as the author points out, it is edible if picked at the right time and prepared properly. (Neither Dina nor Toma include pokeweed in their books.) Interestingly, aloe vera, used for so many skin ailments, is said to cause contact dermatitis in sensitive people. Similarly, some people are allergic to hops. Jimson weed is listed as both a poisonous plant and as a (dangerous) psychoactive plant. The book â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with telling photos for all of the plants â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is, of course, replete with the usual suspects: poison hemlock, foxglove, angelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trumpet, oleander and others. First aid is listed for all plants in the book, although part of that listed for marijuana is suspect: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Physical and emotional support will carry the day.

Fro-yogurt roundup

Yum Yogurt: The one thing that my kids like better than frozen dessert is being able to serve it themselves. Walking into Yum Yogurt is a dream come true for them, from pumping each flavor into their own dishes to adding their own toppings. We hold onto Yum Yogurt’s reusable spoons, because they yield a 25-cent discount on your order each time you bring them in. Seeing them in our kitchen drawer every day is a constant reminder to the kids about how much they love this place. You can catch rotating flavor updates on the Yum Yogurt Facebook page, and dietary considerations are listed on the yogurt pumps, including lactose-free and gluten-free labels. My favorite flavors are the plain tart and blueberry, and my kids usually go for a vanilla-and-chocolate combination. The toppings are tantalizing, with countless fresh fruit, sauce and candy selections; and when it’s finally time to enjoy your creation, patrons can choose between indoor and outdoor seating. Yum Yogurt is open seven days a week and is located at 215 Main Street in New Paltz, in the Medusa building. For more information, visit the Facebook page at www.facebook.com/yumyogurtnewpaltz.

Admission costs $5. The Mountaintop School is located at 68 Band Camp Road in Saugerties. For more information, call (845) 389-7322 or visit http://mountaintopschool.com.

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.

Faithful stewards Earth Day Fair this Sunday on Huguenot Street in New Paltz

he Reformed Church of New Paltz on historic Huguenot Street is an old church with very modern ideas. A house of worship since 1683, it officially became a “Green Church” in 2008. That meant pledging to uphold certain standards of an environmentally friendly faith community, says Jim O’Dowd, one of the guiding forces behind the annual Earth Day Fair. This year’s event is slated for Sunday, April 27 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Admission is free. The fair will have “a little bit of everything,” says O’Dowd, with reps from a variety of eco-conscious organizations on hand to offer advice and insight on solar power, gardening, bicycling and a number of other sustainable practices. Catskill Mountainkeeper and the Mohonk Preserve will be represented at the fair for the first time. Phillies Bridge Farm, whose CSA is back in business, will return along with other local favorites like the Hudson River Sloop Clearwater and Riverkeeper. Other participating groups include the Nature Conservancy, the New Paltz Bike and Pedestrian Committee, New Paltz Gardens for Nutrition, the Charles

BOOK

RAINFOREST CHAMPION PAUL ROSOLIE READING IN KINGSTON

s worthy causes go, there may not be one more exotic than working to prevent the destruction of our planet’s rainforests. And to know, at a young age, that it’s what you’re meant to do, like a calling, a mission – this may be even more rare. Paul Rosolie’s childhood dream was to travel to the Amazon and immerse himself in the environment there. He had read everything that he could find, and finally saved up enough money to make the trip – at 18 years old. It transformed his young life. In his book, Mother of God: An Extraordinary Journey to the Uncharted Tributaries of the Western Amazon, Rosolie documents eight years as an explorer/conservationist in the Madre de Díos region of Peru: a fragile portion of the Amazonian rainforest. “Down there, everything is hypersensitive because the Amazon creates its own moisture system,” he explains. “The rain that falls is then reevaporated and falls down again in a constant cycle. Then you have all these nutrients from Africa being blown over on the wind, African desert sand literally fertilizing the Amazon. It’s a super-complex, continental-sized system, from the animals and ants and butterflies Paul Rosolie with anaconda pollinating flowers to the larger pieces.” He notes that we get one-fifth of our planet’s fresh water and one-fifth of our planet’s oxygen from the Amazon system alone. With global warming, the harsher drought conditions already occurring there are truly disastrous. And he indicates that 20 percent of the rainforest has already been cut down so far. “If too much disappears, we might damage that moisture cycle. The forest would dry out. If the Amazon dried out, the whole thing would collapse. Then you’d have the Amazon desert, and one-fifth of the planet’s oxygen and fresh water would be cut out. So it’s not really something we can afford to lose.” Mother of God is no mere academic study of disturbing ecological news, however. Rosolie’s encounters with wild creatures – feeling the breath of a jaguar in his ear as he lay in his hammock, for instance – and his descriptions of living primitively in the jungle for weeks, even months, at a time are great stories for true nature/adventure-lovers. And the romance of the tale is engaging, as well, when he describes a childhood of freedom and curiosity, almost snuffed out by the constrictions of school. Rosolie could have been the kid who failed. Instead, he quit high school while he was ahead and forged right into realizing his dreams. Rosolie runs Tamandua Expeditions, a touring company that offers people a primitive experience of the Amazon and supports further rainforest conservation efforts. “When you’re living in the rainforest for three months, to take a shower, you run down to the river and jump in. And you have wild macaws flying by and crocs laying on the river’s edge. So even cleaning yourself is an adventure. In eight years of doing this, I’ve never had anybody get hurt, never had anybody leave the jungle without saying they had a completely life-changing, transformative, wonderful experience.” Still, transitioning back and forth from one culture to another can be jarring. He acknowledges that living at a research station, you have a different mindset. And you sometimes find yourself in the middle of an ecological battlefront, with mahoganycutters illegally clearing vast stretches of land and the effects of global warming beginning to show up in the environment. When asked how he remains so hopeful that the Amazon can be protected, he says, “If you had asked me that five years ago, I might have said, ‘I don’t know.’ But today, there are so many people waking up. A perfect example: Two years ago it came out about shark-finning for Japanese shark fin soup – they were massacring hundreds of thousands of sharks all over the world. Of course, if you take away sharks from the ocean, the ecosystem collapses. Because of the Internet, a lot of the people who were eating shark fin soup realized how damaging it was, and they stopped. We’re in this information age where things happen so fast. When I was a kid, it was like, ‘The tigers and pandas are disappearing.’ Today it’s more like, ‘Yeah, let me get my boots on and help.’” “The reason I wrote the book is that I’ve had the luck to have some really unique adventures in the Amazon,” he says. “I’m finding that what people are getting out of my story is the idea that whatever you want in life, just go out and get it. I almost didn’t realize that’s a major theme of the book that people are responding to.” At the end of his visit home, Rosolie will return to the jungle to film a special documentary on anacondas for the Discovery Channel. He will speak at Barnes & Noble in Kingston on Ulster Avenue on Saturday, April 26 at 2 p.m. – Ann Hutton Paul Rosolie reads Mother of God: An Extraordinary Journey to the Uncharted Tributaries of the Western Amazon at Barnes & Noble, Ulster Avenue in Kingston, Saturday, April 26 at 2 p.m.

on the road to show his photographs of the Hudson Valley and beyond. Children’s activities include a Lego building event. For those in a decorative mood, the Tipsy Turtle of Highland will do henna body-painting. And while the event always retains the spirit of an old-fashioned church community gathering, says O’Dowd, it’s an event intended for everyone, not just church members. “The thing that’s on everybody’s mind right now is climate change and the impact of human activities on causing it,” says O’Dowd. “That’s really the most serious issue we have to deal with, I think, and that’s going to fall the hardest on the young people

NIGHT SKY

Presto change-o The sky gets a makeover

Dr. Jennifer Yee talks exoplanets at Oakwood Former New Paltz resident and 2003 Oakwood Friends School graduate Dr. Jennifer Yee, 29, will return to the School to present its annual Herzog Lecture on Friday, May 2 at 10:30 a.m. in the Meeting Room of the Main Build-

ing at 22 Spackenkill Road in Poughkeepsie. The illustrated lecture, “Extraordinary Extra-solar Planets,’’ is free and open to the public. Yee has helped discover 15 planets and was one of five young astronomers in 2013 to be awarded a Carl Sagan Exoplanet Postdoctoral Fellowship by NASA. The fellowship named for the late astronomer was created to inspire the next generation of explorers seeking to learn more about planets, and possibly life, around stars other than the Sun. The program awards annual stipends of $65,500 for up to three years, plus an annual research budget of up to $16,000. Yee is based at the HarvardSmithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Yee began attending Oakwood Friends School in seventh grade. After graduation, she went on to Swarthmore College, where she received an undergraduate degree in Astrophysics with a minor in Linguistics. She earned her PhD in Astronomy last August from Ohio State University. For more information on Yee’s upcoming

This year, two bright planets add a bit of gaiety: At nightfall, Mars is bright and orange in the southeast, while even-brighter Jupiter dominates the west as the most brilliant “star” in the sky. This is truly astronomy made easy. Mars happens to mark the direction to the nearest major group of galaxies, some 50 million light-years away: It’s the famous Virgo Cluster. Whenever you see striking photos of spiral galaxies, there’s a good chance that it’s an official card-carrying member of that grouping of 5,000 galaxies. Despite these thousands of cities of suns in that region of the April heavens, the area merely shows up as a dark patch of celestial real estate. Those who can find it – centered near but far behind Mars – have an excellent week for telescopic observations, as the Moon doesn’t rise these nights until after midnight. So, pushing up from the earth, crocuses and tulips are bathed each night by faint photons of light that have traveled for eons from faraway empires. Too weak to nourish the emerging life of spring, they give the gift of wonder to the handful of humans who point telescopes into that darkest district of the April heavens. – Bob Berman

At nightfall, Mars is bright and orange in the southeast, while even-brighter Jupiter dominates the west as the most brilliant “star” in the sky

s if reflecting April’s magical mutations, the sky also undergoes a radical makeover this month. The brilliant winter constellations now plummet into the west, consumed by the crepuscular fires of ever-later sunsets. With dusk advancing rapidly, and the stars marching into the west four minutes earlier per night, it was forever destined that the two opposing armies would meet headlong each spring. The effect of this lopsided confrontation is to plunge Orion and his friends into the western twilight like lemmings. April opens with Orion conspicuous at nightfall, but ends with the ancient Hunter low and setting. In his place stand the dim constellations of spring: a murkiness caused by our orientation away from the plane of the Milky Way. We now peer into the yawning nothingness of intergalactic space. Because our galaxy is pancake-flat – only some 600 light-years thick by a whopping 100,000 light-years long – there’s not much to see when we look through the thin section, as we do when gazing up these nights. Just two bright stars call the spring sky their home. Both are easily found by following the Big Dipper’s handle – itself easy to find because the Dipper now hovers at its highest of the year: virtually overhead in the early part of each night. You “Arc to Arcturus,” as the old saying goes, and then follow that arc much farther to dimmer blue Spica of Virgo.

Mending the social fabric Stone Ridge hosts quilt show to fund food pantry this Saturday

he Loaves and Fishes Quilt Show to be held at Christ the King Episcopal Church in Stone Ridge on Saturday is aptly named. Referencing the Biblical story of the miracle of the loaves and fishes – in which Jesus was said to have fed 5,000 hungry disciples with just five loaves of bread and two fish – the quilt show is a fundraiser for the Rondout Valley Food Pantry, which also knows a little something about how to make the most of what it has to share. Seventy-five quilts from area artisans will be on display on Saturday, April 26 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For those unfamiliar with exhibits of fiber artistry, prepare to be impressed.

he Thomas Cole National Historic Site will open a new exhibit, “Master Mentor Master: Thomas Cole & Frederic Church” on Wednesday, April 30. The exhibition tells the story of one of the most influential teacher/student relationships in the history of American art: that between the founder of the Hudson River School of painting, Thomas Cole (1801-1848) and his student and successor, Frederic Church (1826-1900). The exhibition will remain on view through November 2. Guest curator John Wilmerding, professor of American Art emeritus at Princeton University and former senior curator and deputy director of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, will present a talk on Sunday, May 18 at 2 p.m., to be followed by a reception from 3 to 5 p.m. The exhibition will be accompanied by a printed exhibition catalogue with full-color illustrations of the artworks and an essay by Dr. Wilmerding about the formative two-year period that first brought Church to the Hudson Valley. The Thomas Cole Historic Site is located at 218 Spring Street in Catskill. For more information, call (518) 943-7465 or visit www.thomascole.org.

of viewing paintings and sculpture might find themselves pleasantly surprised to see how aesthetically satisfying large-scale compositions of color and design rendered in fabric can be. Factor in the inherent warmth and usefulness of a quilt with the

maker’s skill, and there’s a lot to enjoy. Admission to the event costs $6 for adults or $5 for students and seniors. One fortunate attendee will win the raffle and take home a handmade quilt made by noted local quilter Linda Seekamp. Raffle tickets will be available at the door at a cost of six tickets for $5. An afternoon tea with homemade cookies will cost an additional $5. The Loaves and Fishes Quilt Show is dedicated to the memory of Beth Lewis, a longtime supporter of the Rondout Valley Food Pantry, according to its treasurer, Linda Fitzpatrick. In fact, she adds, the building that houses the food pantry was provided by Beth’s estate. The Rondout Valley Food Pantry is located at Christ the King Episcopal Church, with support from six other area churches: the Marbletown Reformed Church, the Community Church of High Falls, St. Peter’s Church in Rosendale, the Kripplebush United Methodist Church, the Rondout Valley United Methodist Church and the Lomontville Assembly of God. The food pantry serves approximately 125 households each month, which works out to more than 400 people, says Fitzpatrick. It provides backpack meals on weekends for children in the Rondout Valley School District and distributes food

over the summer to families with children eligible for a reduced-price or free breakfast and lunch. The pantry provides food for the summer camp program in the Town of Rochester and 150 Thanksgiving and Christmas food baskets every year to those in need. – Sharyn Flanagan Loaves & Fishes Quilt Show, Saturday, April 26, 10 a.m.-5 p.m., $6/$5, Christ the King Episcopal Church, 3021 Route 213 East, Stone Ridge; (845) 687-9414, www.rvfoodpantry.org.

O Robert Angeloch drawing in Monhegan, in this John Kleinhans photo. by Kate McGloughlin

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

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

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

Onteora board hears of cuts, tax rates, layoffs

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A cut above Esopus papercutting artist extraordinaire Jenny Lee Fowler

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

Two glorious kittens! We are seven months old. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m Sasha, a petite tuxedo (black and white) and my handsome gray brother is Simon. We have been spayed and neutered, are up to date with shots and are litter pan trained. We are extremely shy and need a home where people will give us time to trust. We are living in a beautiful foster home but are ready to be a part of a permanent family. If you have lots of patience and love and would like to meet us,

please call (917) 282-2018 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 information about these wonderful cats,

please email carriechapman@gmail. com or call (347)258-2725. I CAN READ!!! (Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m Sampson, a healthy, good natured & (Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m told) handsome CAT guy; solid black w/green eyes.) I was used to being in a home but somehow I was left alone & freezing in the streets of Kingston during this very cold winter. I came begging at someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s door- I saw the welcome mat! A wonderful person helped me by feeding me & keeping me safe. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve also been neutered, had vaccines for rabies & distemper, tested negative for FIV or FeLV, litter box trained and get along w/other kitties. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to meet me, love me and be friends â&#x20AC;&#x153;fureverâ&#x20AC;?, please call 347-2582725. PROJECT CAT is a non-profit cat RESCUE AND SHELTER.
