I’m with the Band, or tell-alls by those close to burning flames. But then we all got older and the result is that a writer like Jillian Lauren, first known for her account of life in a modern harem (for the Sultan of Brunei, immortalized in Some Girls), is now touring with Everything You Ever Wanted, in which she unveils the about-face that she made with her rock-star husband as a means of providing a truly stable home for their newly adopted son. Talk about not just being scared straight, but finding the hidden joys of PTA meetings and meatloaf! – Paul Smart Jillian Lauren reads from Everything You Ever Wanted, Sunday, May 17, 3 p.m., Golden Notebook, 29 Tinker Street, Woodstock; (845) 679-8000, www.goldennotebook.com.

Treasure hunt tephen Cardile, appraiser and founder of Astor Galleries, will bring a team of expert appraisers, including Mara Dean and Jessica DuPont, to Kingston for an Antiques Roadshow-like event to benefit Uptown’s Old Dutch Church on Saturday, May 16 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. No appointments are necessary at this event, to be held at the Old Dutch Church, located at 272 Wall Street in the Stockade District of Kingston. Items will be appraised for $7 apiece, or $30 for a five-item appraisal. Cardile has been appraising fine jewelry, art, antiques and collectibles for more than 35 years. By popular request, gold, silver, jewelry, flatware, coins and possibly certain antiques may be purchased at Saturday’s benefit. Astor Galleries has been holding these events throughout the mid-Hudson Valley in order to educate

of things to do every week

the general public as to the true value of their household treasures. At a similar event in New Paltz held last September, one attendee brought in a coin they had found while excavating the foundation of their house in 1968. According to Cardile, the coin turned out to be a Continental Currency “Dollar” of 1776, originally designed by Benjamin Franklin. The value of the coin was estimated at $80,000! For more information on Saturday’s benefit, e-mail stephen@astorgalleries. com or call (800) 784-7876.

Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome hosts model-flying contest A few years back, my aunt visited from the Midwest with her new beau, then in his late 70s, and all he wanted to do was visit this place that he’d long heard about where they did shows with old airplanes – like, really old airplanes. So we gathered other relatives of various ages and all headed out to the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome Museum, and not two or three but a full four generations ended up equally delighted by faux World War I dogfights, wingwalkers and World War II aircraft demonstrations. Best of all for everyone was the chance to ooh and ahh after the place’s collection of expertly-put-together models of aviation’s highlights from its short-but-

intense history. This Saturday, May 16, the one-of-a-kind museum reopens for its 2015 season with a very special tribute, starting at 7 a.m., in which all manner of rubber-powered model aircraft will be flown in memory of Aerodrome founders Cole and Rita Palen and others from the unique attraction’s earlier days. The old-style honor-system distance competition, which runs until 3:30 p.m., will pit models against each other in categories including Pioneer Era (1900-1913), World War I (1914-1918), Golden Age (1919-1940) and the mixed category, which encompasses anything not fitting into the other categories. Actual air shows will not commence for a month yet, but the museum buildings will open for all those needing to gawk a bit at the great collection of vintage planes on view. And to lend the day an extra-special air, there will be a full tour of the Aerodrome at day’s end. An evening fundraising dinner to benefit the general operating fund follows the tour, catered by Smoky Rock BBQ and including both a presentation on the upcoming season and both a silent and a live auction. Expect quite the crowd of delighted loyalists, and a great collection of history to support that has become historic itself. – Paul Smart Model airplane flying fest/fundraising dinner, Saturday, May 16, 7 a.m.-8 p.m., contest entrants free, dinner $30, Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome, Route 199, Rhinebeck; (845) 752-3200, www.oldrhinebeck.org.

4 the bordellos of Seville, and that they danced naked. Having seen Flamenco Vivo with Carlota Santana dance several times now, in a variety of locations stretching from the grand old faux-Moorish motion picture palace of City Center in Manhattan through the Kaatsbaan International Dance Center (where they’ll be performing this weekend) and the Byrdcliffe Theater on a particularly sweaty and passionate evening several summers ago, I have to admit to having imagined such histories, apocryphal or not. But I also imagined many other histories, as this unique brand of music and dance inevitably does. Santana, who founded Flamenco Vivo in 1983, has been designated “the Keeper of Flamenco” by Dance Magazine in recognition of what she has done, not only to keep the century-old mixture of guitar mastery, castanet and other rhythms and distinctive vocalizations with a unique sense of movement alive, but also to push forward its ever-potent mix of drama and passionate personalization. It’s hard not to watch the rising tempos and almost-competitive improvisation of what Flamenco Vivo does without an eternal (and loud) “¡Olé!” rising to one’s lips. “We believe that the universal spirit of flamenco, a multicultural artform, has the power to build bridges between cultures and inspire audiences from diverse backgrounds,” says Santana, who was also awarded by the government of her native Spain for her work. This weekend’s performances will include previews of new works that the troupe has been working on with its lead dancers and choreographers, including a piece inspired by the study of angels in myth, music and motion. Close my eyes and I can almost see it – but then those earlier images rush in again, as if destined to fight those angels. – Paul Smart Flamenco Vivo/Carlota Santana, Saturday, May 16, 7:30 p.m., Sunday, May 17, 2:30 p.m., $45/$30/$10, Kaatsbaan International Dance Center, 120 Broadway, Tivoli; (845) 757-5106, extension 2, www.kaatsbaan.org.

The Producers at Center for Performing Arts at Rhinebeck One generation had Mel Brooks, the gag-writer for other comics, including the great Sid Caesar. Another had the young standup who created the 2000-Year-Old Man with his friend, the later-director Carl Reiner. Then came The Producers, Brooks’s hit second film, an outrageous tale of two would-be Broadway scam artists who stumble into a hit involving bad taste and outrageousness. And finally, there came the sage Mel Brooks, who reenvisioned his earlier film as the Broadway hit The Producers, which went on to win two handfuls-plus of Tony Awards, inspire another hit film and gain an even-newer life as one of the more popular repertory works hitting the boards in regional theaters across the nation.

Tivoli’s Kaatsbaan featured in Ric Burns’ new documentary

T

he Kaatsbaan International Dance Center in Tivoli is renowned within the dance world as a place where companies and choreographers can create new works and rehearse them in a bucolic setting with space to breathe (figuratively and literally). Adequately sized rehearsal space in big cities is hard to come by and expensive to rent, so Kaatsbaan’s three large studios and 153-acre site fulfill a real need, providing both physical space and the supportive setting that dance professionals need to develop their work while in residency there. Now the rest of the world will have a chance to get a glimpse of what makes Kaatsbaan so special. American Masters: American Ballet Theatre at 75, a new documentary by Ric Burns premiering on PBS on Friday, May 15 at 9 p.m., features slow-motion footage filmed during a one-week production residency there in November 2014. The film chronicles the rise of the American Ballet Theatre (ABT) from its early financial struggles to its current status as one of the most revered dance companies in the world. Burns began production in 2006, shooting hundreds of hours of film documenting live performances in Paris and Havana and rehearsals at the company’s studio in New York City and at Kaatsbaan. The footage produced in Tivoli features nine ABT dancers – Misty Copeland, Gillian Murphy, Hee Seo, Marcelo Gomes, Isabella Boylston, Herman Cornejo, Daniil Simkin, Joseph Gorak and Cory Stearns – chosen for their diversity and breadth of talent to illustrate the qualities for which ABT dancers are known: nuanced emotion and formidable technical and artistic skills. Filmed using cameras that capture up to 2,500 frames per second, the documentary showcases the extraordinary efforts made by premier dancers in their pursuit of perfection. Filmmaker Ric Burns is best-known for his 1999 New York: A Documentary, an eight-part, PBS-premiered 17-hour history of the City’s rise from Dutch trading post to world capital. Other notable projects (in addition to his collaboration with brother Ken on the 1990 Civil War documentary) have included films about the Donner Party, the whaling industry, Coney Island and Ansel Adams. – Sharyn Flanagan

ALMANAC WEEKLY

May 14, 2015 troduces various wines from the cool region of Chablis to the hot Mediterranean region of Languedoc. Inspired by his recent trip to this area, he will include some pertinent geology along the way. Hors d’oeuvres will be served with each wine. For a perfect pairing of fine wine with fine art, between each tasting, Howell will conduct an auction featuring works donated by the family of noted sculptor and Ellenville Renaissance man Harold Harris. Harris is best-remembered for the elegant sculptures that he created from found pieces of brass, bronze, copper, iron and steel. Works by current Cragsmoor artists will also be included. Howell is a retired geologist with the US Geological Survey and professor of Earth Sciences at Stanford University. His research at the USGS involved studies on the growth and shaping of continents, the worldwide distribution of oil and gas, the impact of crowding on the Pacific Rim and the role of art in communicating science. In addition to Stanford, he has taught at universities in Japan and New Zealand, as well as the University of Paris. The formative years of his childhood were carved out on Cragsmoor’s rocky cliffs and along its woodland streams: fertile ground for a career in geology that took him around the world. Howell is also the co-author, with his longtime colleague Jonathan Swinchatt, of The Winemaker’s Dance: Exploring Terroir in the Napa Valley, published by UCB Press. In reviewing the book, Rod Smith, a columnist for Wine and Spirits

magazine, wrote: “Engaging, lucid, substantive, with colorful characters, brand-new theories and the momentum of a detective story‌hard to put down‌a fascinating trip to the heart of Napa Valley terroir.â€? Before launching his career as a sculptor, Harold Harris (1922-2003) was an entrepreneur instrumental in developing the Channel Master Corporation in Ellenville. His experience in World War II as a specialist in the new radar technology, manning the radar station atop Mount Suribachi on Iwo Jima, provided inspiration for his innovative designs in television antennae. During this time he made frequent trips to Japan and Taiwan and became an avid collector of Asian and American art. Harris was also a historian and wrote several books on local history and folklore. His creative energies during the last 25 years of his life, however, were focused on creating metal sculptures, working closely with his skilled assistant, Charles Juneau. Some of Harris’ best-known works were made with fragments of obsolete machinery and industrial artifacts. His imposing piece Moroccan Outpost won the 1994 Woodstock Art Association Outdoor Sculpture Biennial and was on display in the center of Woodstock for two years. This benefit for the Cragsmoor Historical Society will begin with a preview of the auction items at 4:30 p.m., followed by the first tasting at 5 p.m. Seating is limited and reservations required. Tickets, at $30 per person, will contribute to the restoration of the

Society’s building to its 1908 architectural style. Historical Society headquarters are located at 349 Cragsmoor Road in Cragsmoor. More information is available

on the calendar at www.cragsmoor.info. For reservations call (845) 647-6384 or e-mail sallyhmatz@gmail.com.

MUSIC

Ambrosia Parsley at Old Glenford Church Studio

O

n Weeping Cherry, in a voice both honeyed and gritty, Ambrosia Parsley delivers songs rich in omen and evocation, lyrics that hint at location, situation and period ambience but that are curiously begrudging with whole contexts and narrative anchors. It’s an effective style, if you can pull it off as artfully as Tom Waits or Parsley do (or her former Shivaree bandmate and Hudson Valley bandleader Duke McVinnie): that feeling of narrativity sans explicit, paraphrasable narratives; half-submerged myths and vapor stories that belong to a time and a place that is not quite hereand-now but not quite history, either. There’s an undeniable thematic coherence across Weeping Cherry. Song to song, bad things lurk in the closets and under the beds: memories, rumors, sins and the chance, at least, of actual bogeymen. There has, it is clear, been some violence, some scandal and some death, but we’re not speaking of it, else houses and empires collapse. The album is full of secrets – poorly kept, but secrets nonetheless. Chris Maxwell and Phil Hernandez’s production and arrangements could not be more tuned into the unmoored ambiguities of Parsley’s songs. The Elegant Too, as they are known when

they work together, play in dogma-free, non-binding ways with retro and with reference, crafting a vibe of naturalistic, moody noir pop with perturbed electro undercurrents: an 808 handclap here, a sample-and-hold noise arpeggio there.

Never do the Elegant Too descend fully into period reconstruction; but still that sense of “another period� prevails, just as ominous and unspecified as in the lyrics. In “The Other Side,� a gritty pop tune with a graceful melodic lift, Parsley mourns the loss of former cohorts (bandmates?), one to soul-trade fame, another to addiction and death. “Skin and Bones� is a louche, stylized and menacing cabaret-rocker punctuated by Maxwell’s dissonant school-of-Ribot guitarwork.

then hushing it up, though the jester may have to die anyway. But my evidence is pretty thin, I admit. “Only Just Fine� typifies the prevailing aesthetic of Weeping Cherry: an elegant retro-pop piece with a cheese-Latin groove, zesty string flourishes and tremolo guitars right out of ‘60s highpop arrangement. But there is nothing remotely purist or Daptone about this retro. It is a profoundly warped, underwater retro, more alienating than comfortably familiar. Weeping Cherry’s extraordinary singleeffect coherence belies its multi-year, bumpy-ride birth story, a testament to the strict conceptual focus of its song set and its connected, sympathetic production. Whether it is a new release or whether it has been out for a while is a subject of some confusion, but there is no confusion about whether it is an exceptional-if-

Lee Brice plays in Poughkeepsie

SLAID CLEAVES PERFORMS AT MAMA IN STONE RIDGE

I

f you like songs with an abundance of telling detail, earned pathos and robust irony, Slaid Cleaves is your man: a dude with the real roots-bard goods, not just the manners thereof. The Maine native/Austin transplant bears the imprimatur of Lucinda Williams, which is a good-as-gold stamp in the genre. None of his albums to date attempts to gussy his sound much (though 2006’s Unsung appears to be the rock record); but even by his own strictly unfussy standards, Still Fighting the War is a dry and natural outing. The title track, a narrative about the post-tour struggles of a veteran, is almost too moving to bear. One of America’s most original and imaginative songwriters and singers, Slaid Cleaves will be appearing at MaMA (Marbletown Multi-Arts) on Saturday, May 16 at 8 p.m. This is a rare local appearance for Cleaves, in a warm and intimate setting. Tickets cost $25. MaMA is located at 3588 Main Street in Stone Ridge. For more information, call (845) 687-4143. – John Burdick

Ryley Walker plays Hudson’s Half Moon on Saturday Ryley Walker’s take on progressive folk guitar references the landmark British folk of John Renbourn and Bert Jansch and at times bears an uncanny resemblance to the crystalline art/folk of early Bruce Cockburn, but Walker careens just as easily into a kind of pleasantly meandering psychedelic jazz/rock that sounds kinda like acoustic Can, if such a thing could ever be. Supporting his new release Primrose Green, Ryley Walker makes several appearances locally this spring, the first at the Half Moon in Hudson on Saturday, May 16 at 8 p.m. Also on the bill are the Pigeons.

ot many drummers actually have an unmistakable and oft-used groove named after them. There’s Bernard Purdie and then…and then…there’s Bernard Purdie. The irresistible “Purdie shuffle” was borrowed by Bonham for “Fool in the Rain” and by Toto for “Africa.” But it is Bernard’s, make no mistake. In one of his drum instructional videos, Purdie breaks the feel down into its numerous layers and rudiments, laughing most of the time, seemingly at the idea that anyone else could make it feel quite like this. Purdie is one of the most recorded drummers in history, and has plenty of tricks up his sleeve. He has recorded with Aretha, Steely Dan, B. B. King, Joe Cocker and on and on. He has performed several times at the Falcon in Marlboro, where players of distinction are the norm, not the exception; but this weekend, Purdie all but takes up residence in Marlboro, appearing with the Dayna Kurtz band on Friday, May 15 at 7 p.m., leading a drum clinic at the Falcon on Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m. and headlining Saturday evening with Bernard Purdie & Friends at 7 p.m. The drum clinic costs $20. Call (845) 236-7970 to reserve. The shows have no cover charge, but generous donation is encouraged. The Falcon is located at 1348 Route 9W in Marlboro.

The Austin Music Hall of Fame inductee’s new record, Eatin’ at Me, is being hailed as his most personal and autobiographical record to date. It is the eighth in a string of albums written, produced, and performed by Morlix. Gurf Morlix performs at the Empire State Railway Museum, located at 70 Lower High Street in Phoenicia, on Saturday, May 16 at 7:30 p.m. Admission costs $15 in advance, $18 at the door.

my Phelps’s lovely 2012 collection, Look up, Look Down, is a work of lush, ambient roots music in the service of Phelps’s affecting narrative songs. The record includes contributions from some players who know a thing or two about expanding the boundaries of traditional music. Phelps’s frequent collaborator Daryl Anger was, along with guitarist Tony Rice and the leader himself, one of the distinctive, virtuosic voices in mandolinist David Grisman’s quintet, a group whose “dawg music” fused bluegrass and traditional folk with jazz and serious compositional ambition, setting the stage both for the newgrass of Béla Fleck and the thriving quasi-classical folkish compositions of Edgar Meyer and Mark O’Connor. Phelps, Anger and unspecified “friends” (always a promising vagueness when you run in the circles that these two do) appear at the Rosendale Café on Saturday, May 16 at 8 p.m. Tickets cost $20.

Rosendale screens The Whole Gritty City Tani Tabbal

SHOW

Tani Tabbal Trio plays Bearsville this Sunday

A

mongst jazz composers and avant-garde band leaders, drummer and area resident Tani Tabbal is a first-call sideman. He has worked extensively with Chicago legend Roscoe Mitchell and occupied the drum chair in the restless, experimental jazz legend David Murray’s big band. He has navigated the impossible time signatures favored by Steve Coleman and has backed the Grammy-winning Cassandra Wilson. Like so many of the legends with whom he has worked, Tabbal’s recordings as leader/composer challenge the stubborn notion that experimental jazz is inaccessible and often unmusical. The truth is that much of the most playful, compositional and populist jazz around today comes from camps far out on the fringe from Lincoln Center. Tabbal’s most recent recording of originals, 2015’s Mixed Motion, is a crisp and lucid session featuring Tabbal’s witty heads and spacious ensemble improvisation from his quartet. Most of it swings hard. Only the long “Thin Mid Fat Mid Thin� explores true free-form, experimental color-painting, and it is really cool. Mixed Motion features two saxophonists: Kingston native Ben Newsome on tenor and Adam Siegel on alto. Siegel is a fixture in Tabbal’s current trio, which also includes bassist Michael Bisio. Mere weeks after a show at Quinn’s in Beacon that the locals are still raving about, the Tani Tabbal Trio heads up to the Bearsville Theater to celebrate the release of Mixed Motion formally on Sunday, May 17 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $15 and are available at the door or at www.bearsvilletheater.com.

Bernadette Peters headlines Bardavon gala

I

admit it: I got a little giggly talking with Bernadette Peters. I’ve interviewed many famous people, but she just has such star power – the authentic kind that radiates from doing exactly what you love to do, with your entire self fully engaged. It’s no surprise that Peters has received in return a steady flow of accolades and awards, leading roles in major films and Broadway shows and earned placement as a New York Times best-selling author. But beyond all that, she puts her dazzling talents and considerable beauty to work to raise funds for rescued animals, AIDS services, reading programs for blind children and, on May 17, to support our own Bardavon 1869 Opera House. Be sure to wear your fanciest threads. Peters and her ten-piece band are headlining a Gala fundraiser that includes a post-show party at the Grandview overlooking the Hudson River. After the concert, guests will enjoy nonstop food, dancing and music by the Lindsey Webster Band and Lara Hope and the Ark-Tones, plus magic by Adam Cardone. Peters will bring her own pianist, bassist and drummer, and employ some of the region’s finest musicians to round out her band. “We’ll do a lot of beautiful arrangements of Rodgers & Hammerstein, Sondheim and standards. I’ll sing Peggy Lee’s ‘Fever’ while lying on the piano. I come out into the audience; there’s no fourth wall,� she says, and you can tell that she relishes the intimate exchange with others who appreciate the arts as much as she so obviously does. Peters’ career stretches back to when she first nailed early childhood auditions at the tender age of 3, and she was performing in the national touring company of Gypsy

Bernadette Peters

while still in her teens. She debuted on Broadway when she was just shy of 20, and has since earned numerous Tony Awards, Drama Desk Awards, Emmy nominations, Golden Globe Awards, Grammy Awards and appeared in 17 films (including The Jerk with Steve Martin, Silent Movie with Mel Brooks and It Runs in the Family opposite Kirk and Michael Douglas). She is acknowledged widely as a foremost interpreter of Sondheim’s works, and the man himself once said of her: “Like very few others, she sings and acts at the same time. Most performers act and then sing, act and then sing‌Bernadette is flawless as far as I’m concerned. I can’t think of anything negative.â€? Is there anything that she hasn’t done yet but would like to do? “I’d love to work with Al Pacino sometime,â€? she says immediately. “I admire him so. He’s a brilliant actor, always has something going on, and it really projects into the audience.â€? Her performance in Poughkeepsie is one of several dates on a demanding national tour that also includes appearances with the Boston Pops and at Tanglewood. She is

currently starring in Mozart in the Jungle (based on the memoir of the same title by oboist Blair Tindall, and the series was recently picked up for a second hit season on Amazon Prime). “The writing is really good and surprising, all original,� she says of the new hit show. “Good writing is such a gift. I love words on a page that are beautiful.� In July, Peters will release her third children’s book and will co-host the 17th annual animal adoption event, Broadway Barks. Her first book, named after the organization that she co-founded with her pal Mary Tyler Moore, was followed by Stella Is a Star. All three of Peters’ dogs have been rescue dogs and her books for young children put dogs on center stage. “This new one is about my third dog, Charlie, coming to live with me and my dog Stella, who passed away at 16 years old,� says Peters. “I think dogs understand life and death better than we do. When Stella was getting ready to die, she would look at me and my assistant, and give us these long looks. She knew she was leaving.� Some time ago, Moore and Peters visited a school for the blind on behalf of Broadway Barks. Blind children were interacting with homeless pit bulls, and Peters learned that her first children’s book, Broadway Barks, had been translated into Braille. Broadway Barks and Main Line Animal Rescue soon teamed up to create Braille Tails, an organization devoted to translating into Braille books about the special bonds between animals and humans. “I didn’t know that 90 percent of blind kids can’t read because they use voice-activated computers instead. I think it’s really important for all children to experience the pure joy of reading and the mind synapses that come from that creative process. We get so many lovely letters from people about this Braille Tails program.� Turning her attention back to the stage and the importance of mentorship in that

arena, Peters’ advice to aspiring artists would be the same as that given to her by her renowned teacher, David Legrant, who taught actors for more than 50 years: “Don’t copy anyone.â€? “You are the only person in the universe that’s unique to you. There already is a Britney Spears and a Meryl Streep, so whatever comes out of you is correct, as long as it’s pure and real. You can emulate the way someone looks or acts, but then you’re doing it wrong; you’re copying. You can admire but not copy. If something comes out of you, your way, then it’s not wrong. It’s hard to do. It has to come from a pure place.â€? Peters starred opposite the late Elaine Stritch in the Stephen Sondheim/ Hugh Wheeler gem, A Little Night Music, but didn’t know the legendary artist well until they worked together on the show. Of Stritch, Peters says simply, “I adore her. We got really close, and I really miss her. I walked by the Carlyle the other day, where she lived, and saw the doorman standing there. I turned around, walked back, and I asked him, ‘Do you miss Elaine?’ and he said, ‘Oh yes,’ and I could tell he meant it. After that show, she and I got close. She was always just so supportive, right from Day One.â€? I mentioned a clip that I’d found online where the two leading ladies shared a conversation about A Little Night Music. In it, Stritch said of Peters, “Bernadette is not an ingĂŠnue, she’s not a leading lady, she’s not a comedienne‌she’s all of them. And that’s what’s exciting to me. You never know where she’s going. And that’s one of the greatest qualities for an actor in the world: Surprise, surprise – that’s exciting.â€? Had she seen it? I asked. No, and in fact, she doesn’t read reviews either. “No. It’s not a good idea. If it’s bad, it stays in your brain. If it’s good, the next time you get to that line, you think, ‘Oh my god, was it as good as it was supposed to be?’ It ruins the moment.â€? Bernadette Peters knows how to stay in the moment – and how to deliver talent, glamour and a pure unadulterated love of entertaining. Expect to be surprised – and more than just pleasantly so.  – Debra Bresnan

MOVIE

The worlds of Apu

Upstate Films Rhinebeck to screen Satyajit Ray ’s rescued three-part masterpiece

O

ne of international cinema’s crowning achievements, Satyajit Ray’s Apu Trilogy, had a near-miraculous birth in the 1950s. When he started shooting the first of the three films, Pather Panchali (Song of the Little Road), Ray was a graphic artist working in advertising who had never directed a movie before. Though his cameraman, Subrata Mitra, went on to become a world-acclaimed cinematographer, at the time he was a still photographer and had never shot a movie before. They met while working on Jean Renoir’s The River, Ray as a location scout and Mitra as a production assistant. And yet the very first scene that the pair of greenhorn filmmakers ever shot – a sequence in which the Bengali boy Apu and his sister Durga run through a field of waving wheat to see the newfangled train that is passing their village for the first time, in the 1920s – is regarded as a masterpiece of cinematography. It caught the eye of John Huston, who was in India working on The Man Who Would Be King at the time of the scene’s completion, which had already exhausted R ay ’s m e a g e r production budget. Huston and Renoir both helped to get the word out, and with small infusions of financial help from many sources, over a period of three years, Ray got his first feature finished. Finally released in 1955, Pather Panchali wowed audiences and reviewers and won major awards across the globe, including Best Human Document at the Cannes Film Festival. Financing to complete the saga of Apu as a youth and a grown man, based on two semi-autobiographical novels by Bibhutibhusan Banerjee, flowed more easily once Ray’s reputation was established, and Aparajito (The Unvanquished) was released in 1956 and Apur Sansar (The World of Apu) in 1959.

When Satyajit Ray started shooting the ďŹ rst of the three ďŹ lms, Pather Panchali (Song of the Little Road), he was a graphic artist working in advertising who had never directed a movie before.

Separately and together, the films in the Apu Trilogy are routinely named to lists of the greatest films ever made anywhere, and they put India on the map as a wellspring of serious cinema. “Never before had one man had such a decisive impact on the films of his culture,â€? wrote Roger Ebert of Satyajit Ray in 2001. And the three movies’ gorgeous musical scores served to establish the fame of then-unknown sitar master Ravi Shankar. Aparajito is also renowned a m o n g s t fi l m students as being the first instance of the use of “bounce lighting,â€? a technique invented by the resourceful Mitra to simulate daylight. It’s a standard tool of the lighting technician’s trade now, used in both motion and still photography. In the estimation of Japan’s greatest movie director, Akira Kurosawa, “Never having seen a Satyajit Ray film is like

“Never before had one man had such a decisive impact on the ďŹ lms of his culture,â€? wrote Roger Ebert of Satyajit Ray.

never having seen the sun or moon.â€? But for several decades now, the only prints available for screening have been old and deteriorated. Then, in 1992, tragedy struck. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences was planning to award Ray a Lifetime Achievement Oscar, and wanted new prints made from the original negatives in order to edit a montage for the awards ceremony. But a fire broke out at the London facility where the work was being done, and most of the original footage was soon toast. Then came the second near-miracle in the life of Apu (third, if you count the bizarre circumstances of the character’s wedding in the third installment): In 2013, the Criterion Collection and the Academy Film Archive took the remnants of the negatives and the best-preserved archived prints of the three films to a facility called L’Immagine Ritrovata in Bologna, which used new restoration technology to piece together a reasonable facsimile of the original. It’s reported that degradation of image is barely noticeable in the new restored prints, and the good news for mid-Hudsonites is that Upstate Films in Rhinebeck is going to be screening the three parts of the Apu Trilogy between May 15 and 21. If you consider yourself a cinema buff at all, you really owe it to yourself to see these beautiful movies whose universality of

appeal never fades with time. For the total immersion experience, come to Upstate this Sunday, May 17, when the entire trilogy will be shown in sequence: Pather Panchali at 12:15 p.m., Aparajito at 2:45 p.m. and Apur Sansar at 6:15 p.m. There will be a 90-minute dinner break between the second and third parts, and ticketholders will be entitled to a 15 percent discount at the Sunday buffet at Cinnamon Indian Cuisine just south of Rhinebeck. Individual screenings of the three components of the series are scheduled as follows: Pather Panchali, Friday, May 15 at 6:15 p.m. and Monday, May 18 at 5:30 p.m.; Aparajito, Saturday, May 16 at 3:50 p.m. and Tuesday, May 19 at 5:45 p.m.; and Apur Sansar, Wednesday, May 20 at 5:45 p.m. and Thursday, May 21 at 7:45 p.m. Tickets to screenings at Upstate Films cost $10 general admission, $6 for members.

“WHAT’S REALLY EXCITING is that I do some of these in a shack on the edge of a lake, where there’s no electricity, no water. It’s a tar-paper shack,” Steven says. “And I’m drawing a building of 2,000,000 square feet, and then it gets built in China! From this drawing! It’s a long process, but four or five years later...”

P

icture a couple of boys, brothers, holed up in their basement somewhere on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington, where they are free to experiment with materials and art supplies and their own imaginations for hours on end. Then fast-forward a few decades to the vision of two men, now 60ish, hanging their first-ever show together. In the years between, they’ve each left their home state and excelled in their individual creative endeavors – painting, teaching, architecture, graphic design – beyond what was imagined by either of them. It is a long way from Kitsap County in Washington, where the Holl family

home in Manchester still stands. Jim Holl is an artist who has been showing in New York and beyond for more than 40 years. His paintings are catalogued in the 2009 pictorial biography, Jim Holl the Landscape Painter: An Autobiography 1974 through 1994. Veering ever-further away from addressing societal or cultural idioms in his imagery, his current work references the elemental. “I developed a series of Indeterminate Landscapes. There are no horizon lines and the scale doesn’t fall into place. You don’t know if you’re looking at something small or big,” he says of a 60-by-60-inch field of soft red, blotched with what could be rocks or planets. Is it terrain seen from

a bird’s-eye view? “You don’t know. You could be looking at your feet. You’ve got to decide.” Jim calls the work featured in the biography his “youthful experiments across all kinds of media.” “I got to the point that I didn’t deviate so wildly. That was the beginning of Indeterminate Landscapes, when I moved up here in ’02. Then I felt I was giving up some things, like drawing. Being up here in nature – my wife Susan has a garden – I started a series called All the Living Things. That’s what I’ll show here at Atwater.” A teacher and writer, Jim says that he reads a mix of physics, ancient history and philosophy to “see how they coincide in the atomic sense.” “Three thousand years ago, the Bhagavad Gita talked about the ‘vibratory nature of life,’ of everything... So, All the Living Things has to do with this vibration, expressive of teeming energy.” Steven Holl is an acclaimed architect and a professor at Columbia University; he received the 2014 Praemium Imperiale Award and the 2012 AIA Gold Medal. He heads Steven Holl Architects, a 40-person architecture and urban design office with two locations: New York City and Beijing.

He earned his first award – a blue ribbon – when he was a kid by entering an oil painting in a contest. Steven pulls out a small book of paintings. “Every single project, starts with a fiveby-seven watercolor, going back to 1980,” he says, flipping through a sketch pad, the pages filled with watercolor images. “So here’s today: I’m working on a project in Seattle, on the waterfront. It’s a view out towards Bainbridge Island across the Puget Sound. Every building that I do starts here.” “What’s really exciting is that I do some of these in a shack on the edge of a lake, where there’s no electricity, no water. It’s a tar-paper shack,” he says. “And I’m drawing a building of 2,000,000 square feet, and then it gets built in China! From this drawing! It’s a long process, but four or five years later...” Some of Steven’s drawings depict recognizable landscapes and buildings. In others, the squiggly lines shaded with just a bit of dimension seem totally abstract, but they become the sweeping parameters of a very modern structure. “Every day I do this. I get up at six and work for two hours; then I go to my office,” he says. “There are more than 17,000 of these. I don’t take

“W

hen I was a young artist, I had so much help from other people,� says ceramist Martine Vermeulen. “So many people helped me that I feel I have to give back now, and it’s my turn to help young people or artists that aren’t known, and expose the public to them.� Vermeulen formed Creative Crossroads in order to do just that. With the help of volunteers, she curates monthly shows from November through May each year of creative work by relatively unknown talents, mounting the exhibitions at the Stanford Grange in Stanfordville. “Nothing would be possible without the support of the Grange,� she says, “which gives us this wonderful space.� The National Grange of the Order of Patrons of Husbandry was founded in 1867 to encourage farmers to band together to promote their economic well-being. The fraternal organization today maintains more than 2,100 community Grange Halls in small rural communities nationwide. Grange Hall #808 in Stanfordville will be the site of the next exhibit produced by Creative Crossroads, “Stitch by Stitch: The Art of Needlework.� The show will feature some 50 works of embroidery and needlepoint by the members of the Skyllkill Chapter of the Embroiderers’ Guild of America, Inc. The show will be open over two weekends, Friday through Sunday, May 15 to 17 and May 22 to 24 from 12 noon to 5 p.m. The Hyde Park-based Skyllkill Chapter of the Embroiderers’ Guild of America has more than 90 members, most living in Dutchess County. The group meets on the first Wednesday of each month at St. James Church in Hyde Park. Their works on display in “Stitch by Stitch� will highlight the variety of methods and materials in needle art. Designs range from bold graphics to pictorial landscapes, and the dimensional quality of needlework is best seen in person. For instance, one skilled in colorwork can accomplish detailed shading effects through clever gradation of threads. By offering exposure to different types of artists and modes of creativity, Vermeulen hopes to expand people’s definitions of what art can be. Recent shows produced by Creative Crossroads at the Grange have included exhibits of antique quilts, hooked rugs, baskets and weathervanes created by a local ironworker. “I have found all these wonderful people, dedicated to their art,� she says. “And the public is largely uneducated about these types of things.� Painting and photography have also found their place in exhibits put together by Creative Crossroads. Pine Plains-based painter John Greene was featured in the first show several years ago, followed by a photography exhibit called “Our Past Revisited� showcasing old photos from the region. Another exhibit juxtaposed the work of a painter and photographer who each interpreted the same landscape. Poetry readings are also regularly held. All events are free and open to the public. After the needlework show closes, Creative Crossroads will take a break for the summer, with the next exhibit to be held in November. Vermeulen welcomes submissions for future shows at CreativeCrossroads12581@ gmail.com. – Sharyn Flanagan

Rhinecliff’s Morton Library fêtes its namesake with an evening of mystery this Saturday

watercolor landscapes for which she’s known, and artist Grace Gunning has made a copper frame not unlike the copper reliquary boxes that she makes using 19th-century machinery. Richard W. Prouse, a Rhinebeck resident and Broadway set painter, portrait artist and muralist, created a decorative frame painted in blue with gold leaf, and paper artist Ramon Lascano made a frame covered with topographical maps. Additional artists who have contributed frames for the auction include Michele Stopford, Jeep Johnson, Joseph Maresca, Todd Young, Susan Fowler-Gallagher, Chad Kleitsch and Ruby Palmer. Two of the frames will also have a prize hidden behind them, said O’Gorman, adding extra incentive to bidders. The authors presenting skits are Mark Burns, Jack Kelly, Guillermo Fesser and Teresa Link. Burns is a scholar of vice presidential history, the author of Short but Sweet: The 45-Day Vice Presidency of William R. King. He’s currently working on A Pair of Levis: The Incredibly Durable Friendship between Morton and Strauss, due out this fall. Teresa (Tess) Link has a background in acting and is the author of Denting the Bosch, billed as “a novel of marriage, friendship and expensive household appliances.” She serves as head of the

espite his illustrious past, not many people really know much about Levi P. Morton. That will change on Saturday, May 16, when the Morton Memorial Library and Community House in Rhinecliff will honor their namesake (on his birthday) with a unique fundraising event. “Morton Framed” will begin at 5:30 p.m. with hors d’oeuvres and a wine bar (offering a special Levi P. Morton cocktail) accompanied by the Bard String Duo. Following the cocktail hour will be a series of thoughtprovoking skits written and performed by local authors on the topic of Levi P. Morton. The catch? Only one of the stories will be true; the audience will be invited to decide which one. According to Morton Library trustee Molly O’Gorman, the skits will be done in the spirit of the NPR radio show Wait, Wait... Don’t Tell Me, in which a panel of smart and funny people determine which news event set out as real really is. “Morton Framed” will conclude with an auction of artist-created frames, each a one-of-a-kind work reflecting the aesthetics of its creator. Rhinebeck resident Danny Shanahan, for example, best-known as a cartoonist for The New Yorker magazine, has contributed a dogsand-cats-themed frame. Betsy Jacaruso’s frame will likely reflect the luminous

LECTURE

New York State’s pivotal role in the Arts & Crafts Movement

T

he Stone Ridge Library will present a lecture “The American Arts and Crafts Movement in New York State” by Dr. Bruce Austin on Wednesday, May 20 at 7 p.m. at the Marbletown Community Center. This talk is free, open to the public and made possible through the Speakers in the Humanities program with the support of the National Endowment for the Humanities. The American Arts and Crafts Movement, otherwise known as “Craftsman” or “Mission” style, gained popularity beginning in 1900, and by 1920 had gone out of fashion. Arts and Crafts, however, was more than a decorative style: It was also a philosophy, an ethos, a way of living and an enormous business. Artists and manufacturers of objects in the Arts and Crafts style – furniture, ceramics, metal, lighting, textiles and jewelry – found like-minded creators in a few US locations. The most significant among them is New York State. Gustav and L. & L. G. Stickley in Syracuse, Roycroft in East Aurora, Charles Stickley in Binghamton, Frederick Walrath and Harvey Ellis in Buffalo and the Byrdcliffe Arts Colony in Woodstock all produced superb Arts and Crafts objects. This slide presentation will share the unique contributions of Arts and Crafts creators from New York State. Austin is chairman and professor of Communication at Rochester Institute of Technology. He served as the organizer and curator for the exhibition “The Arts and Crafts Movement in Western New York: 1900-1920.” He writes for a variety of publications on the subject. Since its launch in 1983, the Council’s Speakers in the Humanities program has brought distinguished scholars on a wide range of humanities topics to audiences across New York State. Each year, hundreds of non-profit organizations and community groups take advantage of this program, including community centers, religious organizations, museums, historical societies and libraries. The Speakers program is an easy, affordable way for organizations to bring top humanities programming to their community.

The nation went “dry” on January 17, 1920 with the 18th Amendment to the Constitution. During the intervening years of Prohibition (up to 1933), the Hudson Valley became fertile ground for mobsters such as “Dutch” Schultz and “Legs” Diamond. Come join us as we look back at the turbulent era of our bootlegging past. Admission to the “Kingston’s Buried Treasures” lecture series is free, and it takes place every month in the Vanderlyn Gallery of the Senate House Museum,

The Huguenot-hospital connection discussed in New Paltz Curator Dr. Tessa Murdoch, coauthor of The French Hospital in England: Its Huguenot History and Collections and The Quiet Conquest: The Huguenots 1685-1985, will give a talk at Historic Huguenot Street (HHS) on Saturday, May 16 at 5:30 p.m. at

Deyo Hall in New Paltz. Murdoch’s lecture will center on the history of the French Hospital, or La Providence. Founded nearly 300 years ago in St. Luke’s, Finsbury, as a charity offering sanctuary to Huguenot refugees in need, the Hospital still flourishes today in Rochester, Kent, where it has been since 1965. It is home to a highly regarded collection of artwork, furniture, silverware, books, archival records and other items illustrating the material culture of the Huguenots. Murdoch will also discuss the development of the new Huguenot Museum, the first museum in Britain to be dedicated to the history of the Huguenots. Made possible by a £1.2 million grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund, the museum adjacent to the French Hospital is scheduled to open on May 13. Following the lecture, Murdoch will be signing copies of The French Hospital in England. Copies of the book will be available for purchase at $85 plus tax. A director of the French Hospital since 1999, Murdoch has more than 30 years of experience as a museum curator. She is deputy keeper of the Department of Sculpture, Metalwork, Ceramics and Glass at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and an external examiner for the Smithsonian MA degree program in the History of Decorative Arts at the Cooper Hewitt Museum in New York. The lecture will take place in Deyo Hall, located at 6 Broadhead Avenue in New Paltz. General admission costs $15, HHS members $10 and seniors and military $12. For more information, call (845) 2551660 or go to www.huguenotstreet.org.

Spring & Garden Fair at Senate House The Senate House State Historic Site in Uptown Kingston will host an 18th-century Spring and Garden Fair on Saturday, May 16 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. During the festivities, historic interpreters will plant a vegetable garden and offer demonstrations of sheepshearing, spinning, weaving and beekeeping. They will also offer guests a chance to make a kite and sample switchel, a thirst-quenching old-fashioned drink that settlers brought into the fields while they were planting. Garden vendors, including Kingston’s own Adams Fairacre Farms and Herzog’s, will be at the Stockade site, as will horticulture-savvy members of the Ulster Garden Club and the Stockade Garden Society. Levram the Great, the Colonial Conjurer, will perform 18 th-century magic tricks. The fair is free and open to the public.

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

NATURE

Dinosaurs in the garden You’d be amazed at what can go into a compost pile

O

ne of the strangest creatures that I ever found in my compost was the dinosaur that emerged today as I turned the pile. It was the worse for wear, the gash in its head probably from my machete, the “solar-powered� shredder that I use for stemmy compostables like cornstalks. (Think about it.) After a year in the pile’s innards, the dinosaur’s greenish, scaly skin has been bleached almost white. I typically build compost piles through summer and into fall, then turn them the following spring. Turning, not absolutely necessary, lets me mark the pile’s progress and, as needed, fluff it up for aeration or sprinkle it if too dry. Many people use fencing to enclose a compost pile, which is effective as an enclosure but exposes the pile to too much drying air. My bins – made from artificial wood decking, stacked edgewise and notched together like Lincoln Logs – have solid walls that help hold in some heat and moisture.

I should mention, at this point, that the dinosaur might, in fact be a lizard. Oh, and something else: It’s made of a rubbery plastic. This ‘saur was unearthed many years ago as I was digging up a mulberry tree. Once salvaged, it resided in one of my garden beds, where it startled people (including me, occasionally) despite its mere foot-long length. It must have hitchhiked along to the compost pile with some garden debris at the end of the season. Just about everything goes into the compost piles: weedy hay, garden debris, kitchen scraps, horse manure, old cotton or wool clothes, weeds and anything else that is or was living – that is, organic. Also some dolomitic limestone, which is rock, so never was living, but is “organic� in the cultural and legal sense. Dolomitic limestone adds calcium and magnesium to the finished mix, increases the alkalinity of the finished compost (to offset the naturally increasing acidity of soils here

NEW YORK STATE BANS 126 INVASIVE SPECIES

N

ew regulations went into effect banning the sale, purchase and transportation of a long list of invasive species that have plagued properties and the ecosystem for years. As of March 10, 2015, it is no longer legal to buy, sell or transport 126 species identified by the state Department of Environmental Conservation as invasive. The list includes 69 plants, 15 fish, 17 aquatic invertebrates (including several snails, clams and snails), 13 terrestrial invertebrates (insects and land snails), five vertebrates (such as the mute swan) and seven species of algae, bacteria and fungi. In addition, 29 species are “regulated,� meaning that, while they may be sold and transported, they may not be knowingly introduced on or near public lands or natural areas. The prohibited species are: garlic mustard, porcelain berry, Japanese angelica tree, Japanese barberry, Oriental bittersweet, autumn olive, yellow iris, privet, several oriental honeysuckles, purple loosestrife, Japanese stilt grass, black swallow-wort, common reed grass (phragmites), several types of bamboo, kudzu, Japanese knotweed, multiflora rose and wineberry. Also on the list are walking catfish, several species of snakehead fish, common carp, sea lamprey, Asian earthworms, nutria, Eurasian boar and Asian clam. Insects include the Asian longhorn beetle, hemlock wooly adelgid, emerald ash borer and Japanese pine sawyer, as well as the Africanized honey bee. For the official regulations and a complete list of species, visit www.tinyurl.com/banned-species. Invasive species are defined as those not native to our ecosystem that cause economic or environmental harm. Although some of the newly-banned or regulated species are already well established here, the new regulations will slow their spread. The new regulations do not require property owners to remove existing plants but do forbid commerce in the prohibited species and their introduction into public lands or natural areas. Some species, notably Japanese barberry, have a grace period during which existing stock may be sold by nurseries or stores.

Carbon and nitrogen are the two feedstuffs that composting microorganisms need in greatest amounts. I don’t dwell too heavily on the ideal 15-to1 ratio of carbon to nitrogen for a balanced feed that gets the pile heating and the compost finishing up quickly. Much depends on the size of the feedstuffs and the presence of other natural chemicals, such as natural lignins in wood shavings that slow down their decomposition irrespective of carbon-to-nitrogen ratios. I do pay attention to what I put in the piles, using a thermometer, my nose and my eyes to monitor progress. No heat, bad smells and slow progress indicate, respectively, too much or too little moisture or too little nitrogen; too much water or nitrogen; and too much or too little moisture or too little nitrogen. It’s all good, though. Adjustments can be made when turning a pile, or one can do nothing and wait longer.

years back, I’d bump into them slithering out of the compost pile as well as coiled into the branches of a blueberry bush and, unfortunately, coming out of the chicken house, two swollen lumps in their bodies evidence of a recent two-egg meal. All in all, the snakes are welcome for their meals of mice and rats. I’d also come upon clusters of the snakes’ soft-shelled eggs, up to two dozen or more, as I turned the compost. After incubation in a terrarium, out slid not-very-cute baby snakes.  Turning compost piles provides relatively mindless relief from more thoughtful gardening, such as planting decisions: where to plant, for example, a dwarf shipova tree, an Alderman plum and a Concorde pear. And should I risk planting out the borderline hardy Flying Dragon hardy orange (Poncirus, now named Citrus, trifoliata)? Easier to place are the vegetables, which need to be rotated every year, never (well, almost never) grown in the same location more than once every three years. Rotation prevents overwintering, non-mobile pests from having something to attack close at hand. The vegetable garden is in two banks of beds, so I just move what’s planted in each bed two beds counterclockwise each year: two beds to get them further away from previous years’ location than would a one-bed rotation. Still, lettuce transplants, extra onions to be harvested as scallions, radishes and short rows of arugula get spotted in willynilly.  May 5: This calm, warm morning the whole yard is awash in the sweet, spicy scent wafting from yellow trumpets of clove currant (Ribes odoratum) flowers. In August, this deer-, drought-, cold-, heat- and pest-resistant plant will be covered with large black sweettart currants.

THIS MONTH MARKS THE 150TH ANNIVERSARY of the publication of John Burroughs’ “With the Birds” in the Atlantic Monthly, deemed the birth of the modern nature essay.

Cabin in the woods

Slabsides in West Park to host more programs this year, starting with a talk on John Burroughs’ journals at Open House on Saturday

S

labsides, the rustic retreat of 19th-century naturalist John Burroughs, is a Hudson Valley shrine. So the fact that the West Park cabin itself was only opened for visiting twice a year was a rather frustrating limitation on public appreciation of the great man’s legacy. Perhaps in response to the growing popularity of the surrounding John Burroughs Nature Sanctuary as a hiking destination since its trail system was renovated, this year things are changing at Slabsides, and for the better. Though the Sanctuary’s trails are open to the public year-round, peak visitor season kicks off this weekend with the traditional third-Saturday-inMay Slabsides Day Open House. That’s when you don’t have to peer through the windows for a glimpse of the interior of the bark-bespangled cabin that Burroughs built with his own hands, displaying many of his own belongings including hand-hewn furniture. This May the John Burroughs Association is celebrating the 150th anniversary of the publication of Burroughs’ “With the Birds” in the Atlantic Monthly, deemed the birth of the modern nature essay. As usual at these Open House days, a talk will be delivered on the Slabsides porch about some aspect of the influential naturalist’s life, fascinating career and voluminous writings. This Saturday the speaker will be Maura Toomey, a senior at Vassar College, whose libraries are home to the bulk of the John Burroughs papers: 65 boxes’ worth of journals, notebooks, letters, photos and memorabilia.

Slabsides in West Park is the name of the cabin that John Burroughs built in 1895. It was in this building that Burroughs (shown below) wrote some of the essays that made him America’s foremost nature writer of his time, as well as entertaining such callers as Theodore Roosevelt, John Muir, Thomas Edison and Henry Ford, up until his death in 1921. Designated a National Historic Landmark in 1968, Slabsides is preserved today much as Burroughs left it. Slabs of lumber with their bark still on cover the exterior walls, and the rustic red cedar posts that Burroughs helped set in place still uphold the porch. Inside the cabin, the furniture that Burroughs used (and much of which he made) remains as it was.

TASTE

But mostly it’s about the cupcakes. They come in every imaginable flavor from red velvet cake to margarita to bacon, and the fantastically decorated ones could keep you busy all day snapping photos even if you don’t eat a bite. Organizers recommend bringing a cooler so that you can take some home, if your eyes are bigger than your stomach. Cupcake prices run about $2 apiece. The Cupcake Festival goes on rain or shine from 12 noon to 6 p.m. on Saturday, May 16. To enter your baked creations in the amateur cupcake contest, sign up for the race, field a foosball team or find out more, call (845) 255-5300, visit www. gardinercupcakefestival.com or check it out on Facebook. – Frances Marion Platt

One trendy way these days to satisfy such a yen is with cupcakes – not just the standard cupcakes of our youth, but gourmet cupcakes that push the envelope of culinary creativity with counterintuitive flavor combinations or inspired decoration.

the Town of Gardiner offers its annual opportunity to try them all at once – or as many as your sweet tooth can handle. Now in its seventh year, the Gardiner Cupcake Festival brings together many cupcake bakeries – along with vendors of more substantial fare like pizza, barbecue and burgers made of locally raised grassfed beef – at Wright’s Farm, located on Route 208 just south of its intersection with Route 44/44. Admission is free, but there is a nominal charge for onsite parking. This is a terrific event for kids, since the 453-acre orchard provides room for not one but five bouncy houses, zipline, pony and wagon rides; there’s even an airstrip onsite where you can queue up for a short helicopter ride. There’s a stage with live music, and the event kicks off with a 5K run called the Cupcake Classic where you can work off your calorie guilt right up front. Brand-new this year is a Human Foosball tournament organized by Gardiner Town Board member John Hinson as a fundraiser for the Gardiner and Shawangunk Fire Departments. It’s a bit like soccer, only the teams stand inside a rectangular plywood enclosure, where they must keep their hands on lengths of PVC pipe that slide laterally over poles as they maneuver to kick the ball toward the goal at the opposite end.

hroughout each year the Woodstock Film Festival puts on imaginative fundraising events to keep its notfor-profit operations going, including the Taste of Woodstock, which comes back for its third outing on Wednesday, May 20. This year the stakes are a little higher, as the Film Center building at 13 Rock City Road in Woodstock, which houses both the Festival headquarters and the offices of the Hudson Valley Film Commission, is in serious need of repair and renovation. So all proceeds of Taste of Woodstock 2015 will go toward the Film Center Capital Campaign. But if supporting a keystone of the arts in our region isn’t enough incentive to come out and spend $50, consider this: The Taste of Woodstock is not the sort of tasting event where you pay an entry fee and then fork over another two or three bucks for each dish that you decide to sample. It’s an all-you-cantaste experience. Your pass entitles you to indulge in “as many of the food choices as your appetite will allow,” as the press release puts it. And because the food vendors aren’t all housed in a central tent, you get to clear your palate and stroll off some calories as you meander from restaurant to restaurant in downtown Woodstock, sampling as you go. Participating eateries from farther afield, including New World Home Cooking, Bistro to Go, Cucina and Black-Eyed Suzie’s, will be hosted by more local establishments. The Taste of Woodstock goes on from 6 to 9 p.m. on Wednesday, May 20. Start out at the Film Center with a glass of wine, then collect your map of participating restaurants and begin your culinary expedition.

BEER HERE Cantine Field in Saugerties to host Craft Brew Boogaloo

W

here are the snows of yesteryear? Or to put it another way, are oppressive heat waves in early May going to be the New Normal in the mid-Hudson Valley post-global warming? Last week’s temperatures that hovered near 90 and blasted blossoms off the magnolia trees in a matter of days seem to presage a summer as brutal as 2013’s, with triple-digit thermometer readings that may make many of us nostalgic for the cold, snowy winter that just ended. The up side of too-early summer weather is that microbrew-fanciers have an extra excuse to enjoy tipping back a frosty mug of designer suds. The beerdrinking festival season kicks off with a vengeance next Saturday at Cantine Field in Saugerties, where Radio Woodstock 100.1 will launch its first-ever Craft Brew Boogaloo, highlighting local, regional and national breweries, artisanal farm-to-table cuisine and some of the area’s best musicians. The Big Takeover, Connor Kennedy & Minstrel, Elijah Wolf and the Grape and the Grain are among the performers announced as of presstime. Vendors of comestibles will include gourmet food trucks and local restaurants. More than 150 craft beers from more than 75 different breweries will be on tap (or in bottles). VIP passes, which must be purchased in advance, entitle the bearer to a gourmet lunch and to sample special limited-edition microbrews – as well as to get in one hour early, at 1 p.m. VIP tickets cost $100 with beer, $35 for designated drivers. General admission costs $45 in advance, $55 at the gate, $10 for designated drivers. On-site parking costs $5 per car. The Craft Brew Boogaloo runs from 2 to 6 p.m. on Saturday, May 23.

How we know stuff

I

t’s sometimes said that all moving objects, not just sentient creatures, are stirred by information – meaning that a falling hailstone senses the “information” of a gravitational field and responds accordingly. By most definitions, information works through an exchange of energy, like the way you’re capturing the stream of photons conveying the words on this page, arriving on reflected light. Or how you recognize meaning in changes of air pressure: the shout of “Hello!” from a friend. Even though consciousness has many deep fundamental mysteries, it wouldn’t be wrong to call it an avalanche

of information in the brain, itself an amalgam of the so-called external and the so-called internal coding mechanisms that let the mind create a vast world that makes sense of things on a myriad of levels. Many of these information algorithms require no learning; they are hardwired before birth. Even plants need no schooling, but automatically respond to wind, gravity, direction of light and water. In any event, the first bedrock issue in information exchange is whether the knowledge is acquired directly or indirectly. Direct information might be you feeling the sun’s warmth. No symbolic language or intermediary is needed;

you straightforwardly feel heat via your nervous system sensing faster-moving skin atoms prodded by solar infrared. By contrast, the information that you just read was not direct at all. That business about infrared was acquired by you through the use of symbols – words – each of which signified something other than itself; the word sun is not the actual sun. Such symbolic knowledge is representational and, in contrast with direct knowledge, is subject to revision and possible future improvement. That doesn’t mean it’s not real. Certainly, actual physical neural connections in your brain were formed, some permanently – particularly if you found the preceding sentences interesting. Moreover, a waiter warning you that an iron sizzler placed on the table is hot carries information every bit as valid as if you had acquired it by inadvertently touching the metal. One method was not superior to the other in terms of knowledge-gaining effectiveness. A dog barking to alert others in the neighborhood is a good example of secondary information. The other canines

May 14, 2015 inferred meaning in the tone, loudness and frequency of the first dog’s barks, and instinctively understood that it meant something – something entirely different from the barking sound itself. They took it to mean “A stranger is approaching,” and reacted to this information. Thus, indirect, symbolic information is nothing to belittle. Some forms of it are little short of amazing. Dolphins have the ability to make extremely complicated series of sounds that implant an image in the minds of other dolphins. They can paint a picture of something of interest – a school of food fish it just spotted, for example – and perhaps even include in the image a kind of “italics” to emphasize areas of interest. We humans use both types of information acquisition, and usually do so without paying much attention to the distinction. But do our brains and nervous systems operate by digital technology or via analog processes? So, a primer on what those labels mean: Usually analog information systems use waves of some sort, or smooth transitions from one state to another, like a pulse that grows from zero, reaches a certain peak, then subsides. Certainly it is a continuous process. Expressed on a graph, it looks like a series of smooth hills with no breaks or pauses. The values it can express are essentially infinite in number because they can be anything at all. In analog technology, a microphone might be used to record pulses of sound (complex air pressure variations) that similarly mutate in a limitless fashion, translated into varying electrical pulses and then recorded on a tape via the rearrangement of tiny magnetic iron particles for storage. At a later time, this signal can be read, sent to an amplifier and then a speaker, where another magnet causes its cone to pulse at both slow and rapid rates, moving air in the room that reproduces the music. The entire process incorporates a universe of possibilities, and this is analog. Digital is a different ball of wax. It’s rarely used by nature. Gone are the infinite wave possibilities with their myriad nuances. Now, all information has discrete values with nothing in between. In practice, the encoding consists of a series of “on” or “off ” signals. With a music CD, a red laser is aimed onto the CD’s grooves, which contain some four billion minuscule pits that don’t reflect light, alternating with flat areas called “lands” that do reflect it to a detector. Each reflection is counted as a “yes” signal, a “one,” while a lack of signal means “no,” or “zero.” In practice, the rapidly spinning CD lets 44,100 bits of information be sampled every second in the form of these ones or zeroes, with nothing in between. No infinities are to be found here, no limitless possibilities. Instead, the ones and zeroes employ a binary language to create ordinary numerals. With 44,100 numbers per second of music being played – all within tiny channels or grooves that, if unrolled, would stretch 3 ½ miles – a rich lode of data is sent to the digital amplifier, which understands the coded numbers and turns them into voltage waves. These surges go to the speakers, which act just as they did before: pulsing appropriately to disturb the air pressure in the room rapidly, in the complex fashion that we recognize as music. The end result is the same. So why is digital considered superior by many? Well, waves can get polluted with unwanted noise or degrade with storage, while the ones and zeroes will always be ones and zeroes, and thus tend to be far more immune to distortion or loss over time. Moreover, clever algorithms that look for patterns in the numbers can compress them so that they take up less storage space. You can’t do that with waves. Does the brain, with its electrical pulses, work digitally, too? The answer may come as a surprise – one that we’ll explore next week. – Bob Berman

legals LEGAL NOTICE NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Local Law, published herewith has been adopted by the County Legislature of the County of Ulster, New York on March 17, 2015, approved by the County Executive on April 16, 2015, and filed with the State of New York on May 1, 2015, and the validity of the obligations authorized by such Local Law may be herinafter contested only if such obligations were authorized for an object or purpose for which said County is not authorized to expend money, or if the provisions of law which should have been complied with as of the date of publication of this notice were not substantially complied with, and an action, suit or proceeding contesting such validity is commenced within twenty days after the date of publication of this notice, or such obligations were authorized in violations of the provisions of the Constitutions. DATED: May 14, 2015 Kingston, New York Victoria A. Fabella, Clerk Ulster County Legislature Local Law Number 4 Of 2015 County Of Ulster A Local Law Regulating The Use Of Polystyrene Foam Disposable Food Service Ware By Food Service Establishments In Ulster County BE IT ENACTED, by the County Legislature of the County of Ulster, New York, as follows: SECTION 1. TITLE. This local law shall be known as “Food Service Waste Reduction Act.” SECTION 2. LEGISLATIVE INTENT AND FINDINGS. The Legislature finds and determines that polystyrene foam is a common environmental pollutant and non-biodegradable substance commonly used as food service ware and that there is no meaningful recycling or reuse of polystyrene foam food service ware. The Legislature further finds and determines that the Environmental Protection Agency has found that the polystyrene manufacturing process is the fifth largest creator of hazardous waste in the United States. The Legislature further finds and determines that evidence suggests that a component of polystyrene foam, styrene, is a carcinogen and neurotoxin. According to EPA studies, styrene is now detectable in the fat tissue of every man, woman and child in the United States. The Legislature further finds and determines that alternative cost-effective biodegradable, compostable and/or reusable food service ware is readily available. Such alternatives are less toxic and more environmentally friendly than polystyrene foam. The Legislature further finds and determines that the use of biodegradable, compostable food, and/or re-useable service ware will reduce the waste stream and reduce waste costs. Therefore, the purpose of this local law is to eliminate the use of polystyrene foam food service ware by Food Service Establishments within Ulster County. Therefore, the Legislature hereby finds and determines that the prohibition of the use of polystyrene foam disposable food service ware in Ulster County is in the best interests of the citizens of Ulster County. SECTION 3. DEFINITIONS. As used in this local law, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated: “Chain Food Service Establishment” – means a food service establishment or food service establishments operating in Ulster County that is or are part of a group of fifteen or more food service establishment locations nationally, doing business under the same trade name, offering predominantly the same types of meals, foods or menus regardless of the type of ownership of the individual food service establishment locations. “County” – The County of Ulster. “Customer(s)” – Any person(s) obtaining Prepared Food from any Food Service Establishment. “Disposable Food Service Ware” – All bowls, plates, cartons, cups, other containers, trays, or other items designed for one time use on or in which any Food Service Establishment directly places and/or packages food or provides same to Customer(s) to place and/or package food or which are used by Customer(s) to consume or transport food. This includes, but is not limited to, service ware for takeout Prepared Food and/or leftovers from partially consumed meals prepared at or by Chain Food Service Establishments for consumption at a specific location. This does not include single-use disposable items such as straws, cup lids, or utensils. “Food Service Establishment” means any establishment, located or providing food within the County of Ulster, which sells or otherwise provides prepared food and/or beverages for public consumption on or off its premises and includes, but is not limited to, any store, shop, sales outlet, restaurant, bar, pub, coffee shop, cafeteria, caterer, convenience store, liquor store, grocery store, super market, delicatessen, catering truck, mobile food truck, cart or vehicle, or any other person who provides prepared food; and any organization, group or individual which regularly provides food as a part of its services. “Health Commissioner” – The Commissioner of Health for Ulster County. “Polystyrene Foam” – Any blown polystyrene, expanded, and extruded foams (commonly referred to as Styrofoam, a Dow Chemical Company trademarked form of polystyrene foam insulation) which are thermoplastic petrochemical materials utilizing a styrene monomer and processed by any number of techniques, including, but not limited to, fusion of polymer spheres (expandable bead polystyrene), injection molding, foam molding, and extrusion blow molding (extruded from

polystyrene). Polystyrene foam is generally used to make cups, bowls, plates, trays, clamshell containers, meat trays and egg cartons. “Prepared Food” – Any food or beverage which is (1) served in Ulster County or (2) which is packaged, cooked, chopped, sliced, mixed, brewed, frozen, squeezed, or otherwise prepared on the premises. Prepared food does not include raw meats, poultry and/ or seafood sold for the purpose of cooking off premises. SECTION 4. PROHIBITION ON THE USE OF DISPOSABLE POLYSTYRENE FOAM FOOD SERVICE WARE. A. No Chain Food Service Establishment shall sell or otherwise provide prepared food in any disposable food service ware that contains polystyrene foam. B. No Food Service Establishment shall sell or otherwise provide prepared food in any disposable food service ware that contains polystyrene foam. C. No County facilities, County managed concessions, County sponsored events or County permitted events shall distribute or utilize disposable food service containers containing expanded polystyrene or nonrecyclable plastic. SECTION 5. EXEMPTIONS TO THE POLYSTYRENE FOAM DISPOSABLE FOOD SERVICE WARE PROHIBITION. A Chain Food Service Establishment or Food Service Establishment may seek an exemption from the prohibition under Section 5 due to a “unique packaging hardship” under Subsection A of this Section or a “financial hardship” under Subsection B of this Section. A. The Chain Food Service Establishment or Food Service Establishment must demonstrate that no reasonably feasible alternative exists to a specific and necessary polystyrene foam disposable food service ware to qualify for a “unique packaging hardship” exemption. B. The Chain Food Service Establishment or Food Service Establishment must demonstrate both of the following to qualify for a “financial hardship” exemption: (1) a gross income under $300,000 on their annual income tax filing for the most recent tax year, and (2) with respect to each specific and necessary polystyrene foam disposable food service ware, that there is no feasible alternative that would cost the same or less than the polystyrene foam disposable food service ware. C. The Chain Food Service Establishment or Food Service Establishment may submit a written application for an exemption on a form provided by the Department of Health. The Commission of Health or designee (“Commissioner”) may require the applicant to submit additional information or documentation to make a determination regarding the exemption request.

The County Legislature may determine via mere resolution whether or not identical or substantially similar federal or statewide legislation, or pertinent preempting state or federal regulations have been enacted for the purposes of triggering the provisions of this section. SECTION 9. SEVERABILITY. If any clause, sentence, paragraph, section, subdivision, or other part of this local law or its application shall be inconsistent with any federal or state statute, law, regulation or rule then the federal or state statute, law, regulation, or rule shall prevail.

Real Estate

For those of you that don’t really know us, Win Morrison Realty has 7 offices; 2 in Kingston (one is commercial and one is residential) one in Saugerties, 2 in Woodstock (on either side of the Village Green) one in Boiceville, to take advantage of the Rt. 28 corridor, and one in the wonderful town of Phoenicia. In Woodstock we have discovered that 50% of the homes we sell, and we sell a lot of them, are to buyers that simply walk through our doors because of our superb locations and our superior visibility. I guess that old chestnut, location, location, location, cuts in all directions! It also means we have twice the potential of selling your home when it is featured in our windows… so give us a call.

Spirituality

PRAYER TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN. (Never known to fail.) Oh, most beautiful flower of Mt. Carmel, fruitful vine splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son of God. Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity. Oh, Star of the Sea, help me and show me herein you are my mother. Oh, Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth! I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in this necessity. There are none that can withstand your power. Oh, show me herein you are my mother. Oh Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee (3x). Holy Mother, I place this cause in your hands (3x). Holy Spirit, you who solve all problems, light all roads so that I can attain my goal. You who gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me and that in all instances in my life you are with me, I want in this short prayer to thank-you for all things as you confirm once again that I never want to be separated from you in eternal glory. Thank-you for your mercy towards me and mine. The person must say this prayer 3 consecutive days, the request will be granted. This prayer must be published after the favor is granted.

WE NEED A HAPPY ENDING

~Jack & Harley There is no way to sugar coat this. When we were found, we were kept in two cramped traps. We couldn’t play, let alone move for months. We didn’t know what sunlight was until our wonderful foster mother began caring for us in her beautiful home. At first, we didn’t let anyone touch us because the only person we knew treated us so badly. We thought everyone was like that. But now, we are so loved. We have toys, the best food and each other. We are very bonded and want a person who will love us both. You can be sure you will get a lot of love in return because now we know that people can be kind and that we can trust. We are a year old, have been neutered, are up to date with shots and are litter pan trained.If you would like to know more about us handsome and resilient boys, please call (917)282-2018 or email DRJLPK@aol.com.

FOR ADOPTION; TROUBLE... Would you be the one to give our cat, Trouble, a home? Our infant is allergic to our wonderful gray & brown tabby (striped) cat. TROUBLE is just the opposite of his name. He’s friendly, loving and a lap cat. This sweet boy has given us so much love since we adopted him 8 years ago. He doesn’t understand why he must now stay in the basement. He very much wants to be a part of a family. Trouble is neutered, up to date w/shots and litter pan trained. He weighs about 9 pounds. If you’re interested in giving Trouble a home, please call (917)282-2018 or email DRJLPK@aol.com
