Benefit for Charlie Coryell at the Falcon this Sunday

DANCE

KAATSBAAN IN TIVOLI HOSTS JENNIFER MULLER/ THE WORKS THIS SATURDAY

J

Jazz guitar legend and pioneer of jazz/rock fusion Larry Coryell (above) will join Grammy-nominated guitar virtuoso Gil Parris and blues artist Murali Coryell for a benefit concert this Sunday, May 25 at the Falcon in Marlboro at 7 p.m. Proceeds from the show will help supplement the costs of extensive testing and healthcare for Charlie Coryell, the son of Murali Coryell and grandson of Larry Coryell. Larry Coryell brought what amounted to a nearly alien sensibility to jazz electric guitar playing in the 1960s; a hard-edged tone, phrasing and note-bending that owed as much to blues, rock and even country as it did to earlier, smoother bop influences. He has graced the stages of other legends like Hendrix, Santana and Clapton. Gil Parris released six solo albums and is known for blending blues, jazz, rock and smooth jazz. He has recorded and toured as a solo artist and as a sideman with artists including Dr. John, Blood, Sweat & Tears, Diane Schuur and Toni Braxton. Per usual at Tony Falco’s labor-of-love establishment, there is no cover charge – just the owner’s persuasive call to “support living artists” with a generous donation. The Falcon is located at 1348 Route 9W in Marlboro. For more information, call (845) 236-7970 or visit www. liveatthefalcon.com.

ennifer Muller/The Works, a 39-yearold contemporary dance company known for pieces that weave together dance, theater and the visual arts, will return to Kaatsbaan on Saturday, May 24 at 7:30 p.m. There will be two world-premiere previews during the evening. Whew! is a piece that conveys the value and vagaries of industrious effort, examining the disassociated lifestyle that requires 80-hour workweeks. Miserere Nobis, set to the music of Gregorio Allegri, is an entreaty for mercy and grace. The program will also include company favorites Regards (1991), Beethoven: Not for Naught (2000) and Tangle (2009). Artistic director Muller’s career began as a principal dancer with the Jose Limón Dance Company and as associate artistic director of the Louis Falco Dance Company. Muller and Falco revolutionized contemporary dance in the 1970s by incorporating freestyle movements and a casual attitude into more structured modern dance. An award-winning choreographer, Muller’s work for theater includes pieces performed at the Public Theater, Second Stage, New York Stage and Film and the Metropolitan Opera. Tickets cost $30 for adults, $10 for children and student rush at the door with ID. Kaatsbaan is a nonprofit, professional creative residence and performance facility situated on a 153-acre historic site in Tivoli (the former estate of Eleanor Roosevelt’s grandparents). Founded in 1990, it provides dance companies, choreographers, composers, set designers and all dance artists with a setting where they can create and showcase new work, rehearse, perform and develop new productions. For more information call (845) 757-5106 or visit www.kaatsbaan.org. The Kaatsbaan International Dance Center is located at 120 Broadway in Tivoli.

For all our best intentions, it’s tough to keep our minds on patriotic solemnities right about now, when we’re just bursting out of our long bout of cabin fever and the barbecue beckons. Luckily for us, the people at the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum in Hyde Park provide a way each Memorial Day weekend both to honor the fallen servicemen and women with proper ceremony and to burst the bonds of winter with a kick-out-the-jams party.

dress will be on hand to show off their props – weapons, vehicles, bivouac gear and other wartime paraphernalia dating back as far as 1917 – and to chat about military history with passersby. To wrap up the weekend, there is a memorial service and wreath-laying at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday in the Rose Garden. That’s where Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt are buried; but attendees are also invited to meditate on their own lost loved ones, or all who have perished in wartime, while the great World War IIera leader is being honored. Kathleen Durham, executive director of the Eleanor Roosevelt Leadership Center at Val-Kill, will be this year’s guest speaker at the graveside service. Memorial Day weekend at the FDR site traditionally starts off on a more upbeat note, though: a live simulation of a 1940s-style USO Show like those put on to entertain American troops serving around the globe. This year’s show will feature two hours of entertainment including live Big Band music from the 1930s and ’40s, comedy and juggling, historic newsreels and more. While the rest of the weekend’s activities offer free admission (you still have to pay the usual entry fee if you want to tour the FDR House and Museum), a $5-per-person donation is suggested for the USO Show. It begins at 7 p.m. on Friday, May 23 in the Henry A. Wallace Center. Dress retro if you can, and get ready to jitterbug. Though that USO party is usually the kickoff event for Memorial Day weekend in Hyde Park, this year the FDR Library is jump-starting the festivities on Thursday evening with another in its exceptionally fine series of lecture/presentations by world-class historians. Nigel Hamilton, author of The Mantle of Command: FDR at War, 1941-1942, will be on hand in the Wallace Center for a talk and booksigning, beginning at 7 p.m. on Thursday, May 22. Admission is free. Based on years of archival research and interviews with his last surviving aides and family members, The Mantle of Command offers a definitive account of FDR’s masterful – and underappreciated – command of the Allied war effort. Hamilton takes readers inside FDR’s White House Oval Study, his personal command center, and into the

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING – ZERO – IN PACHECO LYRICS that could be described as smeared, impressionistic, digressive or language-forlanguage’s-sake. His hallmark is unfailing clarity of purpose, and this, ultimately is why his songs are so winning.

Sneak peak of Boomtown

Tom Pacheco touts upcoming CD this Saturday at Woodstock’s Colony Café

T

he veteran singer/songwriter and folk-roots troubadour Tom Pacheco makes his annual Memorial Day performance at the Colony Café on Woodstock on Saturday, May 24 at 8 p.m. The show is almostbut-not-quite a CD release celebration. Pacheco’s new album – his umpteenth in a recording career that began at the dawn of the ’70s – is, in his own words, 90 percent finished: finished enough, it turns out, that he was willing to grant me a sneak peak of the 13-song opus to be called Boomtown. Anyone already comfortable with Pacheco’s rich and weathered voice and his disarmingly deliberate and purposeful writing style will be at home with Boomtown right out of the gate. Shapely, simple melodies and wellwrought roots forms bear lyrics that are part keen journalism, part op/ed and part bittersweet nostalgia and cultural history. Pacheco’s verses are so unerringly straightforward, metrically regular and strictly rhymed that they might almost seem plodding at times, were he not such an engaging storyteller and such a lucid social critic with an unabashed leftist

take. There is absolutely nothing – zero – in Pacheco lyrics that could be described as smeared, impressionistic, digressive or language-forlanguage’s-sake. His hallmark is unfailing clarity of purpose, and this, ultimately is why his songs are so winning. They prevail with simplicity, directness and substance. You may agree or disagree with his tuneful and efficient opinions o n Pa l e s t i n e , mobile devices (Pacheco is a proud neo-Luddite) and New York of the ’60s, but you will never be left wondering what those opinions are. Boomtown trains its lens on the present and the past in about equal measure. Sometimes, it is the music the dwells in the past while the lyrics go topical, as in “Julian,” a train-groove Western outlaw myth about…Julian Assange. For all his unadorned candor, Pacheco only occasionally writes about himself. The songs that seem to be most confessional often turn out to be dramatic monologues and character studies with political motives. But on Boomtown, there are several heartfelt exceptions: songs in which Pacheco allows himself to serve up some deep, wistful sentiment and mountaintop wisdom (the achingly bittersweet “One More Time,” for example). But even at its most personal and wistful – the album-opening yearbook of a song called “MacDougal Summer 1966” – personal and cultural history is never simple nostalgia for Pacheco. This misty-eyed catalogue of New York of the ’60s ends as a pissed-off polemic, as the singer revisits his old neighborhood and bemoans the ubiquity of stock traders, iPads and consumerism.

Boomtown, like Pacheco’s career, is a bicontinental concern. Some of it was recorded in Oslo with producer Kai Lolands, and much in Woodstock with the legendary Karl Berger.

Pauline Oliveros

Boomtown, like Pacheco’s career, is a bicontinental concern. Some of it was recorded in Oslo with producer Kai Lolands, and much in Woodstock with the legendary Karl Berger. It is a rich, detailed recording filled with smart arrangements, assured roots/rock playing and even a touch of modern, ambient sonics. But both producers know enough not to mess with the centrality and dominance of Pacheco’s voice, his take on the present and how he – and we – got here. – John Burdick Tom Pacheco, Saturday, May 24, 8 p.m., $18, Colony Café, 22 Rock City Road,

On Saturday, May 24, the Ashokan Center hosts Uke Fest, a performance by six world-class ukulele players in the beautiful new Esopus Lodge. The concert will feature ukulele players with a wide range of styles, covering everything from jazz and blues to reggae and ska. Performers include Sarah Maisel, Cathy Fink, Jim D’ville, Ruthy Ungar, Lil’ Rev and Gerald Ross. Tickets cost $15 for adults and $10 for teens online at http://ashokancenter. org, or $25 per person at the door. The Ashokan Center is located at 477 Beaverkill Road in Olivebridge.

udwig Day celebrates the life and lasting influence of the late Ludwig Montesa on the town of New Paltz; and it celebrates it fittingly, with the things that Ludwig loved most: friends, music and good humor. While other memorials to Montesa are still in the planning stages (a film? a statue? a memorial stoop?), the second annual Ludwig Day celebration takes over the entirety of downtown New Paltz on Saturday, May 24. Participating venues and performance spaces include…well, pretty much all of them: The Oasis Café, Cabaloosa, the Cafeteria, the Bakery, Bacchus, Snug Harbor and the Water Street Market will all be hosting performers all day and into the night. The Wig Out Block Party on Church Street features vendors and games for children and adults. The list of performers will be finalized later this week, and schedules printed and distributed. As of now, likely performers include such New Paltz staple acts as Snowbear, Yard Sale, Los Thujones, Defunct Radio Circus, the Sweet Clementines, Sandy Davis, Los Doggies, Ratboy, Liana Gabel and many more.

t seems like contemporary Hollywood offers audiences at least two or three opportunities per month to witness major urban centers being demolished by the Forces of Evil. My predecessor in the film-critic chair at Almanac Weekly, the peerless Syd M, even gave a name to what seems to have turned into a subgenre of action movies: “smashy-smashy,” a term originally coined by street protestors to refer to random vandalism as a tactic. The Transformers series is probably the most egregious example of smashysmashy: big, loud, over-the-top displays

of nonstop destruction, with cardboard characters and little or no plot worth mentioning. Yet nowadays even directors who aspire to higher things, like iconic characterizations and witty dialogue, can’t seem to elude the siren song of skyscrapers crumbling – the last half-hour of Joss Whedon’s The Avengers being an obvious example. Such movies do well enough at the box office that the major studios keep spending the megabucks necessary to make more of them. Still, the trope has become so ubiquitous and so repetitious that it no longer thrills us as it once did long ago. How many different ways can you make a building or aircraft fall down and squash lots of tiny, anonymous people?

For kids of the postwar generation who grew up on monster movies, the new downtown-destroyers – usually aliens, giant robots or supervillains of some sort – somehow don’t pack the same innocently creeped-out pleasure that we associate with the mostly reptilian kaiju of our youth. Happily, Gareth Edwards’ new remake of Godzilla goes a long way toward turning that trend around. When we talk about the giant-monster genre, it has become customary to apply the Japanese term kaiju, because in retrospect we have come to associate it with a string of movies from Japanese studios, beginning with the original Godzilla (which the Japanese call Gojira) in 1954. Afterschool TV fare for kids in the ’50s and ’60s was loaded with Godzilla’s offspring, including the pterodactylish Rodan, the giant caterpillar Mothra, three-headed Ghidora and turtlelike Gamera. The trend reached a peak of sorts in 1968 with the 11-beastie free-forall Destroy All Monsters. Ah, those were the days. We also associate the genre with Japan because that was the only country in the world ever to experience nuclear attack, and the political and philosophical subtext of these otherwise-lightweight movies pretty much always involved the horrific unintended consequences of the development of atomic energy. It seems largely forgotten that the very first of the giant-reptile-spawned-by-fallout flicks – one year before Godzilla – was an American-made movie based on a Ray Bradbury story: The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms. It Came from beneath the Sea, in which a giant radioactive octopus takes down the Golden Gate Bridge, was made in the US one year after Godzilla. And two other cheesy monster classics of the ’50s, The Giant Behemoth and Gorgo, hailed from the UK. What these movies all had in common, besides wanton destruction and homilies about man tinkering overmuch with the processes of nature, were big, scaly,

rubbery-looking creatures. They made a mess, but they weren’t always flat-out evil. In fact, in the later multi-monster kaiju films, Gojira, the granddaddy of them all, often comes off as the savior and restorer of balance when a more sinister force comes into play. That concept lies at the heart of the new Godzilla as well: While the titular monster gets to wipe out quite a lot of real estate by the end of the movie, he’s mostly there to prevent two slightly smaller, more insecty-looking critters identified only as MUTOs (Massive Unidentified Terrestrial Organism) from wrecking the entire planet. To Edwards’ credit, we don’t see any monsters at all for most of the first half of the movie. There’s a long, slow build, beginning with the hatching of a giant egg in the depths of a quarry in the Philippines in 1999, investigated by two scientists played by Sally Hawkins and Ken Watanabe, the latter of whom lost his father in the Hiroshima blast and is on a sort of mission. The hatchling MUTO swims off unobserved to Tokyo, burrows under a nuclear plant and knocks it down, in the process killing the wife (Juliette Binoche) of the plant’s supervisor, Joe Brody (Bryan Cranston). Now Brody is on a mission as well, convinced that the “earthquake” explanation for the disaster is a public relations hoax. He’s right, of course, but it takes another 15 years before the truth emerges. At that point Brody’s son Ford (Aaron TaylorJohnson) takes over as our protagonist. He’s a Navy ordnance disposal expert whose talent for defusing bombs becomes important to the massive effort to stop the MUTOs (a second one having hatched at the Yucca Mountain radioactive material disposal site in Nevada, providing some comic relief by wrecking a few square blocks of casinos in Las Vegas).

ALMANAC WEEKLY

May 22, 2014 The heart of the movie, such as it is, lies in separated family members trying to reunite amidst the widespread destruction. Taylor-Johnson, who delivered an embarrassing Vronsky in Anna Karenina but was reasonably funny as the nerdy superhero-wannabe in Kick-Ass and its sequel, manages to look sufficiently soulful when parting with his wife (Elizabeth Olsen) and young son and stoically game for action when monsters need stopping. David Strathairn brings a largely wasted gravitas to the stock character of the hardnosed military top brass who wants to nuke the beasties, even though everyone eventually figures out that nuclear energy is what the MUTOs feed on (literally – we see one pop a missile

While the titular monster gets to wipe out a lot of real estate, he’s mostly there to prevent two slightly smaller, more insectylooking critters from wrecking the entire planet into its mouth like a Pez lozenge at one point). Watanabe’s character Dr. Serizawa, who holds the moral high ground here, has to convince Admiral Stenz that they have to let Godzilla, King of the Monsters, sort things out as usual. Yeah, it’s silly, but it’s fun in the oldfashioned kaiju way, without pretensions of being anything more than it is, with new life breathed into it by modern CGI technology. The widescreen visuals are consistently stunning – worth seeing in 3-D. And Alexandre Desplat’s very enjoyable score, mixing Taiko drumming with electric violin, what sounds like Gregorian chant and a whole lot of general

T

he Wassaic Project out in eastern Dutchess County is a truly iconic example of the arts as a community revitalizer. Granted, the community – where Borden got its start a century-and-a-half ago and dairying still retains a place in local memories – is small enough to play host to and be affected by a summerlong art project. And it’s on the Metro North train line from Manhattan. Wassaic’s center is also filled with iconic old barns, granaries and other large structures once devoted to agriculture, with accompanying aesthetic credentials. It all started seven years ago as a summer retreat/incubator idea for Citytrapped artists looking to workshop (or woodshed, as they say in the music industry) new projects. There’s a summerlong exhibition of site-specific installations in a repurposed seven-story grain elevator; a residency program that brings artists to the small community to live and work; education programs that bring visiting artists to local schools; and an early-August three-day arts festival chock full of performances, film screenings, music and kibitzing. Think of it all as a New-Englandy Burning Man

The Bear Cafe

with a focus on the strange winds blowing through contemporary art. The summer exhibits don’t kick off until June 15, when 70 artists bring their works from around the world to town (there are tours of the show and events the last Saturday of each month through October). The big festival, with music, dance performances and even masked Fight Nights between history’s legends, runs August 1 through 3, with camping. But things actually get up and running on Saturday, May 31, with a Wassaic community block party and parade of fire departments, cheerleaders, scouts, arts and townie floats, and plenty of artists (including a 19-piece brass band), stretching into the evening with live music and food at the local bar, the Lantern. It starts around 3 p.m., with open studios, the parade and block party, an old-style cakewalk. Admission is a suggested $5 donation. The Wassaic experience is fun, truly cutting-edge and thought-provoking. It’s a great way of imagining resuscitated

THEY DROVE UP SPRING STREET IN KINGSTON IN 1985 AND SPOTTED AN ABANDONED CHURCH. “My toes got hot and I started hyperventilating,” Hedrick said. “It was perched on a hill overlooking the river, and I saw the future of this whole community. I saw the possibility of an art center.”

J

ulie Hedrick’s large abstract paintings reference light, pure color and limitless space: universal elements distilled from the Hudson River landscape. Following a series of canvases in which she spent a year or more focused on a particular color – white was followed by red, green and blue – she is now working in black-and-white, in what she calls the Alchemy series. However, the limited palette in no way suggests an abdication of color, but rather an intensity of light and mood. The raw application of the two starkly contrasting tones and the intervening nuances of gray result in powerful effects. The white actually seems to give off light and reads as the sky. The black suggests storm clouds or a mountain ridge or treeline plunged in darkness. The paintings seem almost to quiver, as if they were literal atmospheres, attuned to each changing nuance of light. “My work is always personal, and part of my personal existence is living near the Hudson River,” said Hedrick. “I spend my mornings walking along the edge of the river with the dogs, and that seeps into my inner vision.” It’s that inner vision, not outer appearances, that’s the subject of her work, which she calls “meditations.” Noting that the Alchemy series is “the closest I’ve gotten to referencing the political situation in the world,” she said that the paintings posit a kind of resolution by transforming the polarization that’s causing so much conflict in the world into a union of opposites, much as the medieval alchemist sought to turn lead into gold. “It’s finding beauty in the blackness and whiteness and how they connect and contrast with each other.” It’s fitting that Hedrick, who also is a poet – her husband, composer and musician Peter Wetzler, has composed music to recordings of her readings – paints and writes in a magnificent, lightflooded space called the Chapel Room. Part of a converted 19th-century church in Kingston’s Rondout, the space, with its two walls of tall Gothic windows and soaring ceilings, hasn’t completely

lost its connotations of the sacred – though Victorian formalities have been subsumed by the chaos of large stretched canvases, oddball furniture and general dishevelment that signifies the artists’ dedication to the creative process. There’s also a palpable warmth, of a couple in sync with each other and their expansive artistic community, which to a large extent was born right here. The couple met in 1983 in Hedrick’s hometown of Toronto, a year after she’d had her first solo show at age 22, and Wetzler was an improvisational experimental musician and composer living in New York City. “When we began collaborating, it felt like the same compatibility we’d felt when we first met: a visual and sound synergy,” Hedrick said. The daughter of Canadian artist and sculptor Robert Hedrick, she’d grown up traveling back and forth between Toronto and Ibiza, Spain, in a contemporary art scene that instilled in her the language of abstract art. “Having conversations about color and form, art and philosophy and literature was completely normal,” she said. Money was sometimes tight – “As babies we’d be behind the curtain where my father was teaching life drawing on the other side” – but when she began her own art practice at age 14,

Alchemy by Julie Hedricks, 2014, oil on canvas 30” x 40”

it was never something that she worried about. At age 16 she was apprenticing with two noteworthy Canadian artists and experimenting with various media, including video. She attended the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, and upon returning to Toronto became part of the local art scene, painting and teaching part-time. When she met Wetzler at “a wild artists’ party on Valentine’s Day,” it was love at first sight. A week later, she visited him in New York and accompanied him to a dance performance by Bill T. Jones in Brooklyn. On the way back, “We were on the subway traveling under the East River and he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. I said ‘Yes.’”

Hedrick was participating in a healing arts program – she had become interested in healing after her mother became ill – and so had to return to Toronto, but when she finished a year later, she moved in with Wetzler in his East Village apartment and got her massage therapist license. They also secretly married. The ceremony occurred at a gas station in his hometown of Hamden, Connecticut, which the justice of the peace owned and suggested as the place to meet. “People were bawling their eyes out, crying, and standing in line,” Hedrick recalled. The couple “officially” got married a year later in Canada and over subsequent years gradually let on to family and friends they had already been married.

If we were to really analyze our inner environments, they’re abstract,” Hedrick said. Haime also exhibited Hedrick’s work at Art Miami and showed her blue series in Cartagena, Colombia in an “extraordinary space flooded with light off the Caribbean Sea.” Two of Hedrick’s works were recently acquired by the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art at SUNY-New Paltz. She has designed sets for dance and film and was the subject of a film, Julie of the Spirits, directed by the Venezuelan-born filmmaker Isabel Barton. On Saturday, June 7, Hedrick and Wetzler will be collaborating on a sound installation at One Mile Gallery, based upon her black-and-white series of paintings. Wetzler will score two poems of Hedrick’s, one inspired by white and the other by black; it’s suggested that visitors be blindfolded, in order to experience “a visual world without eyes,” Hedrick said. Pauline Oliveros will also participate in the event, which is titled “Listen to the Sound of Your Art.” The One Mile Gallery is located at 475 Abeel Street; call (845) 338-2035 for more information.

H about the lack of people. Down on lower Broadway, the buildings were abandoned and a huge empty lot still marked the teardown of buildings from urban renewal 15 years before. They drove up Spring Street and spotted an abandoned church, which triggered in Hedrick “a kinesthetic response. My toes got hot and I started hyperventilating.” She added, “It was perched on a hill overlooking the river, and I saw the future of this whole community. I saw the possibility of an art center.”

T

Visiting Canadian cellist/composer Anne Bourne improvising with Peter Wetzler at the piano. Paintings from Julie Hedrick’s “Green” series are shown in the background of the hall of Church des Artistes.

Hedrick rented a loft and showed her work in the studio and various galleries, while Wetzler, who’d lived in the City after graduating from Princeton and a brief sojourn in California, composed experimental music for downtown dance companies. Unlike Toronto, New York felt like home, and the couple had a blast. “There was a warmth and genuineness in New York. You always knew where you were at with New Yorkers. If I made

work, people would say they loved it or they hated it.” In 1985, a Toronto art gallery offered her a one-woman show, and after dropping off the paintings in a borrowed, graffiticovered van and heading back to New York, the couple pulled off the Thruway at Exit 19 to get gas. Curious about the place at which they’d landed – the City of Kingston – they drove around, charmed by the historic streetscape but a little spooked

hey found out that the church was for sale, and three weeks later, they bought it, putting their small savings from two large paintings that Hedrick had recently sold and Wetzler’s sale of his first movie score into a mortgage held by the former owner. The nave, in the church proper, “had 10,000 pounds of pigeon poop, no water, electricity or heat,” although the adjoining chapel building did have minimal utilities. The couple came up from the City whenever they could to work on the property. In 1991, Hedrick moved up to the church full-time with the couple’s two children, commuting back to the City to be with Wetzler on the weekends. “I was in Heaven. I had so much space to make art,” she said. They carved out two rental lofts in the front of the nave, leaving the remainder open for a performance space, and created a recording studio for Wetzler in the place where the organ had been ripped out. They invited the community in for performances. Their friend Pauline Oliveros christened the performance space by blowing on a conch shell in the empty, windowless hall. Oliveros’ partner Ione “brought a huge crystal, and everybody burned sage.” Ironically, it was through a Kingston friend that Hedrick made the connection with her 57 th Street gallery. An acquaintance who owned 100 acres in Esopus brought gallery-owner Nohra Haime over for coffee one day, and she and Hedrick instantly became friends. Haime signed Hedrick on in 1997, and Hedrick has been represented by the Nohra Haime Gallery ever since. Haime sometimes places benches in front of Hedrick’s works, so that people can spend time contemplating them. “There are people who can’t stand still

edrick and Wetzler eventually sold off the church portion of their complex, retaining the chapel for themselves, and in 2011, after their kids had left home, they talked about running a bed and breakfast. “I was interested in going away, and Peter was interested in bringing people here,” Hedrick said. “Within an hour of talking about it, somebody booked.” The bed-and-breakfast venture has been a big success, with guests arriving at the Church des Artistes Guest House from as far afield as China, Paris and Amsterdam. One German couple who stayed with them were paying homage to Holocaust historian Hannah Arendt, who’s buried at Bard College. Some visits turn into an artist’s residency: A writer “came for a week to begin a book, and then came back a year later to finish it. Then she gifted her editor a stay here.” Guests “are very curious to meet this painter and composer and to learn about the community and its history. They love to be able to walk down to Armadillo or Mint on the Rondout or sit in the courtyard with a bottle of wine.” Much like her art, Hedrick said that running the inn is “improvisational.” Lately she has been “curating these extraordinary breakfasts of locally sourced food” obtained through the couple’s membership in Field Goods, which is supplied by various food co-ops and local farms. She’s also foraging in the forest, and recently served a strawberry knotweed crisp and a frittata with nettles and garlic mustard. Some of their guests are so charmed by their stay that they’ve pulled up stakes and moved to Kingston. One example is Theresa and Michael Drapkin, who opened up the Kingston Wine Company on lower Broadway a few months ago after staying at the church on a visit from New York City. “I keep real estate agent cards,” said Hedrick. “Many young people are finding it more difficult to live in New York because it’s so expensive and you can’t make a living wage. But in Kingston you can afford it. The best thing about the city is the diversity. There’s financial diversity, and people who have huge families live next door to single people. It works. It’s a real place.” – Lynn Woods For information on artist Julie Hedrick, see http://juliehedrick.com; for info on musician Peter Wetzler, log on to www. peterwetzler.com.

Meet a live wolf at the Mohonk Preserve

DION OGUST | ALMANAC WEEKLY

Saturday, May 24 is opening day for the Catskill Mountain Railroad, in both Kingston and Mount Tremper.

When Atka the wolf walked into the room during last year’s Mohonk Preserve Cries Wolf presentation, I didn’t expect to feel anything, but he literally took my breath away – not by actually doing anything in particular; it was just his energy in the room. Between Atka’s presence and the engaging and informative presentation by the Wolf Conservation Center about the importance of wolves in our ecosystem, I got so much out of this event and highly recommend it to others, ages 5 and up.

Mohonk Preserve Cries Wolf is scheduled for Friday, May 23 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Admission costs $5 per person (members and non-members), and reservations are strongly advised. For more reservations or more information, call (845) 255-0919 or visit http:// mohonkpreserve.org. To learn more about the Wolf Conservation Center, visit http:// nywolf.org. SATURDAY, MAY 24

Check out Crazy Bowlz in Kingston I’ve heard so much buzz about Crazy Bowlz that I had to check it out for myself. I think the name is especially appropriate because, despite the wide range of choices, I think it’s crazy that I find myself ordering the same thing every time I go in because it’s just so delicious: green curry stir-noodles with grilled shrimp. The menu’s fusion approach offers selections of Asian fare and Mexican-style cuisine, which means that your kids are bound to find a meal that they’ll enjoy because they can create it themselves. My orders are prepared swiftly, the portions are a terrific value and the casual atmosphere of the dining area makes the space very easy to navigate with children. One treat that you can order at Crazy Bowlz is bubble tea in a variety of flavors, with those large tapioca pearl “bubbles.” And for all of you Crazy Bowlz fans out there, I can confirm that Crazy Bowlz will have a presence on the SUNY-New Paltz campus this fall. Crazy Bowlz is located at 301 Frank Sottile Boulevard in Kingston, where Boston Market used to be, across from Wal-Mart.

Fund drive to restore Tower of Victory in Newburgh The Palisades Parks Conservancy has launched a capital campaign to raise funds for the restoration of the Tower of Victory at Washington’s Headquarters State Historic Site in Newburgh. For 125 years, the Tower has stood as the nation’s only monu-

ment to the peace that came after the end of the Revolutionary War. It was commissioned by Secretary of War Robert Todd Lincoln, son of the president, who asked architect John Hemingway Duncan to design the massive stone arched structure that hosts bronzes sculpted by William Rudolf O’Donovan. The Tower of Victory stands on the property where General Washington created the “Badge of Military Merit,” now called the Purple Heart medal. Donations can be mailed to the Palisades Parks Conservancy, Box 427, 3006 Seven Lakes Drive, Bear Mountain, NY 10911, or donate online at www. palisadesparksconservancy.org/donate. php with “Tower of Victory” in the subject line.

But the character from the Bard’s canon most associated with him is Falstaff, for which portrayal he won a British Academy Television Award last year. That’s just one from a long list of acting awards that Beale has copped over the years, including two Best Actor nods in the Laurence Olivier Awards for Candide and Uncle Vanya.

Tour the historic farms and homes of the Wallkill River Valley

T

he annual historic house tour hosted by the Wallkill Valley Land Trust (WVLT) on Saturday, May 31 from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. will focus on “Houses and Farms in the Wallkill River Valley: The Changing Face of Agriculture in Gardiner and Shawangunk.” Several of the homes have never before been seen on a tour, said WVLT board member Vals Osborne, and two aren’t in any published literature on the area – including the last stop on the tour, where an informal wine-andcheese reception will be held from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m., featuring wines from Gardiner’s Whitecliff Vineyard and Winery. The self-guided tour begins at the TuthillHouse at the Mill Restaurant &

Tavern at 20 Gristmill Lane in Gardiner, where from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. guests will pick up a booklet with maps, directions and descriptions of the properties. The restaurant is located in a historic property itself – a circa-1788 former gristmill listed on the National Register of Historic Places – but it isn’t officially part of the tour. It is the starting point for all tourgoers, whether they’ve pre-purchased their tickets online for $35 (by May 30) or waited to buy them at TuthillHouse on the day of the event for $40. Members of the WVLT receive a $5 discount in either case, and the admission fee includes the wine-and-cheese reception for everybody after the tour. Registration is recommended in advance – no matter how payment is made – by filling out the form on the WVLT website and mailing, e-mailing or hand-delivering it to 64 Huguenot Street in New Paltz. All the details are at www. wallkillvalleylt.org. There are seven houses on the tour – four of which are on the National Register of Historic Places – including examples of the Dutch-style stone house, the Federal style in stone and clapboard, Greek Revival clapboard dwellings and a stone Colonial surrounded by early 20th-century houses. And in addition to the gristmill where the tour begins, there are two other National Register historic sites along the way: the gorgeous Reformed Church of Shawangunk, with its parsonage and graveyard, and a still-active brick mold factory. Most of the homes are situated on old farm complexes originally settled by Dutch, French Huguenot and other families, although this year the WVLT is including a contemporary home on the tour for the first time: a solar-powered geothermal house situated to take full advantage of wind and sun within the structure of an 1850s barn moved from Pennsylvania and erected here.

The route covers approximately 24 miles altogether, but each home is only a five-to-seven-minute drive apart, said Osborne. While it’s not possible to follow a chronological route in terms of the age of the houses, she adds, the visitor will be able to see the connections between the earlier and the later homes. “Each house is a great example of its period, and together they offer a superb overview of vernacular architecture in this region.” And the environment in which visitors will experience the homes is an important

part of the tour, said Osborne. “The Shawangunks are really stunning along these routes, and it does give you this sense of preservation, conservation and adaptive reuse of what were almost all dairy farms originally. In a funny sort of way, we’re promoting the beauty of the region, too – not just the houses.” And that ties in with the reason that the WVLT is having the tour in the first place: All proceeds support the land preservation efforts of the Wallkill Valley Land Trust. The nonprofit organization was founded in 1987 to preserve land in southern Ulster County, enhancing the quality of life for all residents and visitors through conserving scenic, agricultural, ecological, recreational and culturally significant land. The WVLT now has approximately 1,700 acres of preserved land in the towns of New Paltz, Gardiner, Shawangunk,

Delaware & Ulster Railroad season opens this weekend Delaware & Ulster Railroad cars will chug out of the Arkville station once again this Memorial Day weekend. One hundred years ago, the old “Up and Down� was a vibrant network, and a train ride was once part of everyday life in the Catskills. The summer schedule includes two trains every Saturday and Sunday, from Memorial Day through the end of October. You can hop on board for a two-hour round trip excursion at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. from Arkville to Roxbury. The Delaware & Ulster also offers express service from Roxbury to Arkville at 12 noon on Saturdays and Sundays. The onehour layover in Arkville allows for just the right amount of time to grab some lunch and check out the shops. The Delaware & Ulster Railroad is also hosting several special events throughout the summer, including Great Train Robbery and Twilight on the Rails excursions. For information and reservations, call (845) 586-3877 (DURR). All trains depart from our Arkville Depot, located on Route 28 in Arkville, 45 miles due west of Kingston and New York State Thruway Exit 19.

Washington’s HQ in Newburgh hosts talk on 18th-century female proprietors Eighteenth-century widows and women of that era without husbands found it difficult to keep a roof over their heads. If they were fortunate, the community where they lived would give them food for their children and a few creature comforts, but not every woman wanted to be dependent upon the kindness of others. Many of those with a small home turned that advantage into a small business, opening their houses to travelers and offering food, laundry services and stabling for horses. Learn more about these enterprising women in “Tavern Talk: 18th-Century Female Proprietors,� a lecture hosted by the Washington’s Headquarters State Historic Site in Newburgh on Saturday, May 24 at 2 p.m. The talk is included with the cost of admission to the museum: $4 for adults, $3 for students and seniors and free for those under age 12. The site offers tours of the historic headquarters and the award-winning exhibit, “Unpacked & Rediscovered: Selections from Washington’s Headquarters’ Collection,� which features more than 1,300 artifacts and a variety of objects from the whimsical to the functional. The Washington’s Headquarters State Historic Site is located at the corner of Liberty and Washington Streets within the City of Newburgh’s East End Historic District. Parking is available.

Maude Bruce, the head of the Ellenville National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and a figure to be reckoned with all around Ulster County, remembers growing up in rural Georgia. She was born in 1945 into a land where peanuts and pecans vied with old King Cotton as the ruling crops. Montgomery, Alabama was Bruce’s nearest big city, and the place where Rosa Parks took her famous bus ride when Bruce was ten. Later, at the age of 16, Bruce moved to her grandmother’s place in Albany, Georgia, where organizers of the NAACP and Student National Coordinating Committee (SNCC) had just set up headquarters. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. himself led the first march in which Bruce joined. “There were 20 of us teenagers who went to the church where Dr. King was speaking. Afterwards we marched,� she recalls. “Dr. King had a profound effect on me. We got to shake his hand and march beside him that day. Even at that time, we realized he was changing, becoming a national figure. I knew from that moment that I wanted to be part of the Civil Rights movement.�

her participation in the NAACP, which had long been active in Ellenville and gradually became stronger as Maude Bruce took its reins. Bruce is known in this region for hosting regular Meet the Candidate events and for championing local youth empowerment and job training programs. “Today the mission is to awaken our youth to their history. A lot of young people don’t know the history of the Civil Rights movement,� she said. “People died for them to have the right to vote, or to go into a restaurant like white people. They need to understand that those things didn’t come easy.� Maude lost her son Jimmy Lee, Jr. in 1986, when he was killed in a scuffle with two Middletown police officers who were moonlighting as security guards at a local movie theater. The scuffle arose when the younger Bruce, aged 20, was ejected from the moviehouse along with some friends for rowdy behavior. Two grand juries investigated the killing, but the officers were never indicted. “The NAACP is over 105 years old now, and we have celebrated the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington, where Martin Luther King gave his ‘I Have a Dream’ speech,� she said. “There’s still so much work to do, but there’s also great beauty in this town, in my church, in all of this life we share. And Barack Obama is still our president, God bless him. We strive on.� For more about the Ellenville NAACP and its many programs, call (845) 6478662. – Paul Smart

Bruce remembers marching down Jackson Street in Albany, where all the black businesses were at the time (“We used to call it ‘Harlem’ because of that�), and getting arrested with the rest of the marchers. “The police put us in the wagon, took us to the lockup and the next morning brought us back to City Hall,� Bruce said. And yes, it was frightening – and eventually included in the seminal documentary on the times, Eyes on the Prize. “We were charged with disorderly conduct, though of course we hadn’t been disorderly at all,� she said. “It was just a peaceful march, adults and teenagers, down the street. But it was still a time of complete segregation, you see. It was basically injustice. The black people were segregated away, and you couldn’t go to a restaurant with white people. You couldn’t drink from the same water fountain or go to the same bathrooms. There were different waiting rooms in the hospital and at the bus terminal.� In 1962, Maude married Jimmy Lee Bruce and, five years later, moved with him to Ellenville in upstate New York. “My husband, he wanted to move, to find better work,� she said. “He got a job at Imperial Schrade, where he was a grinder, grinding the back of knives.� Maude worked alongside him for years as a timekeeper, and then handling payroll. “I was there 36 years,� she continued, jumping into memories of the Ellenville of the 1960s. “Oh, it was a boom town. You had dozens of stores on Market and Canal. You could buy anything you needed right here in Ellenville.� The Bruces raised four children, all graduated from Ellenville High School. But they also recall the sorrow that followed the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King in April 1968, and how it seemed to change everything – including

’m not sure what it is exactly, but there’s something that feels a wee bit magical about happening upon a dense patch of ferns while hiking in the woods. It just seems like the sort of habitat that the Fae Folk would favor whenever they cross over into our mortal world. A more mundane attraction just uncurling about the “ferny brae” this time of year are the fuzzy fiddleheads, which are easily foraged and make a nice stir-fry ingredient.

The latter hosts a lively series of lectures and film screenings that are open to the public, and the talk scheduled for this Friday evening will focus on another intriguing member of the plant kingdom: the ginkgo tree. The ginkgo is a living fossil, one of the earliest “modern” trees to evolve, contemporaneously with the dinosaurs; and it’s a tough customer, adaptable to a wide variety of harsh and disturbed environments. Nowadays Ginkgo biloba is commonly planted along city streets,

on account of its ability to thrive even in places polluted by automobile exhaust fumes and road salt. Insect- and diseaseresistant, it tolerates drought, rootcrowding and neglect. If you have ever lived in Manhattan, you’ve probably noticed elderly Chinese men raking the ripe nuts out of ginkgo

The ginkgo is a living fossil, one of the earliest “modern” trees to evolve, contemporaneously with the dinosaurs branches, and you’ve likely enjoyed those nuts in dishes like Buddha’s Delight yourself. You’ve probably also noticed the horrible odor that fallen ginkgo nuts exude when mashed and rotting on the sidewalk, due to their butyric acid content; but on balance, the bright gold autumnal color of the tree’s foliage still makes it an attractive urban neighbor.

NIGHT SKY

The carbon dioxide story… …and a sobering milestone

M

aybe you’ve heard the news: Last month, for the first time in 800,000 years, the world’s carbon dioxide level passed 400 parts per million (ppm), and stayed that way all of April. This was the milestone that we’ve been anticipating for many years. It was just 330 ppm when the Beatles were big. Earlier, when many of us were in kindergarten, CO2 was 315 ppm. It had taken a long time to get there. Before the Industrial Revolution, and going back for almost a million years, the level was 280 ppm. It will fall back below 400 ppm this summer, and then bust it again next spring. That’s because Earth’s Northern Hemisphere has more temperate, seasonal plant life than the Southern, and springtime growth releases a lot of carbon dioxide. Nonetheless, in two or three years, levels will stay permanently above 400 ppm as we continue upward. Carbon dioxide makes up only 1/25th of one percent of the air. When you take a breath, you inhale 500 times more oxygen than you do carbon dioxide. So why the fuss? We’ve all heard about greenhouse gases, and know that carbon dioxide (along with methane and water vapor) is the big player in this arena. Here’s how it works: Sunlight warms the ground during the day, and at night this energy radiates back into space in the form of infrared rays. Now, our air is about 80 percent nitrogen, 20 percent oxygen and one percent argon. Nitrogen and oxygen atoms commonly bond into twosomes, and form the molecules N2 and 02, while argon is a loner and exists as just plain A. The key point: When infrared from the ground travels up through the air, it encounters these atoms and molecules. When infrared hits any of them, it keeps going in a straight line and continues into space. But a molecule with three or more atoms acts very differently during infrared encounters. Methane (CH4), carbon dioxide (CO2) and water vapor (H20) have between three and five atoms apiece. When infrared strikes any of them, it gets absorbed by the molecule, which then reradiates it in random directions. So instead of continuing upward

When today’s kindergartners are in their mid-50s, carbon dioxide will probably reach 500 ppm. It was just 330 ppm when the Beatles were big.

extract of ginkgo have enjoyed great popularity in recent decades as a treatment for memory loss and dementia (though studies have shown that they won’t actually stave off Alzheimer’s disease, as once hoped). Ginkgo is the national tree of China and the emblem of the city of Tokyo, and its graceful fan-shaped leaves are often used as a decorative motif in textiles and jewelry. In his book Ginkgo: The Tree that Time Forgot (Yale University Press), Dr. Peter Crane, dean of the School of Forestry & Environmental Studies and professor of Botany at Yale, explores the history of the ginkgo from its mysterious origin through its proliferation, drastic decline and

ultimate resurgence. Crane also highlights the cultural and social significance of the ginkgo: its medicinal and nutritional uses; its power as a source of artistic and religious inspiration; and its importance as one of the world’s most popular street trees. He’ll be lecturing on the subject this Friday, May 23 at 7 p.m. at the Cary Institute. Admission to Dr. Crane’s talk on the ginkgo is free, but early arrival is recommended to make sure that you’ll get a seat. The Cary Institute Auditorium

into space, the infrared now goes sideways or upward or downward. The downward ones return to the ground. This explains why, on cloudy nights when there’s lots of water vapor overhead, the ground doesn’t cool as much as it does on a clear night. The more methane, water vapor or carbon dioxide is in the air, the less each night can cool down. So greenhouse gases do their work during the night. They raise a region’s nightly low temperatures. It’s as inevitable as the sunrise. We see carbon dioxide in action on other worlds, and the effect is always to warm things up. Unfortunately, this new milestone of hitting 400 parts per million is only a waypoint. In 25 years it will reach 450 ppm. And when today’s kindergartners are in their mid-50s, carbon dioxide will probably reach 500 ppm. Nobody knows how much warming this will produce: a lot more than now, and our planet is already changing. Opportunistic plants, insects and bacteria will find their way to new places. Fortunately for us, the northeastern US is one of the regions where the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s climate modeling computers predict continued ample rainfall and minimal consequences. We could probably get the carbon dioxide to stop at 450 ppm or so if, right now or very soon, we dramatically alter our energy usage from fossil fuels to greater use of nuclear power, solar and wind. Unfortunately, a lot of money is being spent by the Koch brothers and various lobbyists to perpetuate fossil fuel usage. Advertising works. And the American electorate is not globally renowned for its perspicacity. Much hangs in the balance. Time will tell how it plays out. Meanwhile, the 400-ppm milestone has finally arrived – with less media attention than that day’s celebrity gossip. – Bob Berman Want to know more?

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

To fertilize or not to fertilize? There are times when even compost needs a kickstart

L

ooking out on my vegetable garden last week, I noticed some yellowing leaves on kale transplants. Perhaps the yellowing leaves were just a legacy from the kale transplants’ adjustment to their home outdoors. In the greenhouse, lettuce that I planted last month lacked its expected exuberance. Perhaps slow growth of lettuce was my imagination. Or perhaps the lettuces and kales needed some fertilizer. Vegetables are generally heavy feeders, and leafy vegetables especially so. My garden doesn’t get fertilizer per se; the plants get all they need from compost. Years ago I calculated that a one-inch depth of fully ripened compost could thoroughly satisfy the nutritional needs of vegetable plants – even intensively planted vegetables – for a year, and that’s what my plants get. As an added benefit, compost, in contrast to chemical fertilizers and even most organic fertilizers, offers a wide spectrum of nutrients in addition to just the big three: nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium. Chemical fertilizers are salts (in the broad sense of the word – that is, any ionic compound and not only sodium chloride). Add them to the soil, and they are there for plant use. Not so for compost and most other organic fertilizers. To become food for plants, the latter must first be “mineralized” – that is, converted by soil microorganisms to ions.

Microorganisms grow more and more active with increasing heat and moisture (to a point), so perhaps my plants were hungry because cold or dry soil was keeping microorganisms sluggish. And a ny ava i l a b l e nutrients, whether their provenance is chemical or organic, need to be dissolved in water before a plant can slurp them up. “ A p r i l showers bring May flowers…” blah, blah, blah: Not so, at least in my observation the past few years. Aprils have tended to be dry. Dry soil slows plant growth and could be responsible for my kales’ yellow leaves. Mineralization is slowed, and even if mineralized, insufficient moisture might be available to put those nutrients in solution. A problem with slow mineralization could have been resolved by applying compost the previous fall. Lingering warmth in the soil permits some mineralization, and nutrients would be ready and waiting come spring (with a winter’s worth of water putting them in solution). Usually I apply compost in fall, but last fall did not get to all the beds. The problem has been resolved, simply, by watering. As supporting evidence, the drip line in one of the vegetable beds came loose from its source; kale in that bed remained sickly even as the watered beds sprang to life.

For a quicker effect or where compost is not available, a concentrated organic fertilizer, such as soybean meal, might be in order. You might have guessed that soybean meal is high in nitrogen – seven percent – since soybean seeds contain 40 percent protein, and proteins are about 16 percent nitrogen. More recently, I’ve also been using alfalfa meal as a source of concentrated

LEE REICH | ALMANAC WEEKLY

Lee, spreading compost

organic nitrogen for plants or beds that need it. Being a legume, alfalfa is also high in nitrogen; but the meal is made by grinding up leaves and stems rather than seeds, so it is less concentrated in nitrogen (two percent) than soybean meal. Alfalfa is a deep-rooted perennial whose roots forage far and wide for nutrients, possibly offering a bigger smörgåsbord to plants than does soybean meal. Alfalfa meal also contains triacontanol, a natural compound that stimulates plant growth (not that I’m necessarily looking for any artificial stimulation for my plants, whether from sources natural or otherwise). Both soybean meal and alfalfa meal are mostly used as animal feeds; as such, they are readily available at feedstores. Neither soybean meal nor alfalfa meal is the end-all for fertilizing plants. A serious concern with both is that they are mostly grown from GMO seeds. Also, neither provides a sufficiently broad spectrum of nutrients. Soybean meal provides mostly nitrogen and potassium, alfalfa meal mostly nitrogen and phosphorus. And finally, neither provides bulk that comes from carbohydrate compounds. This bulk has far-reaching benefits, fluffing up soils for aeration, sponging up water, feeding beneficial microorganisms and, in addition to providing nutrients, making nutrients already in the soil more available to plants. Compost, leaves and straw are

among the organic materials that offer bulk. Why the focus on nitrogen when talking about fertility? Nitrogen is the most evanescent of the big three nutrients, and the one most likely to need annual replenishment. Nitrogen can leave the soil as a gas, can be washed down and out of the soil by rainfall and can be taken up by plants. A soil regularly “fertilized” with bulky organic materials will have plenty of all necessary nutrients, but could be temporarily short of nitrogen – unless that bulky organic material is fully ripened compost. Yay compost! Come tour my farmden on Sunday, May 25 and get some ideas on how to create an edible landscape. The tour, sponsored by Slow Food Hudson Valley, will take place from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. at 387 Springtown Road in New Paltz. At the end of the tour, each attendee will be given a choice of heirloom tomato, basil or pepper seedling ready for planting in your garden or on your patio. Contact Rich Vergili at rvergili@ earthlink.net if you plan to attend and reserve a spot; spaces are limited. There will be a requested donation of $10.

EVENT

VANDERBILT MANSION IN HYDE PARK HOSTS PLANT SALE THIS WEEKEND

H

ave you ever visited a historic site and wished that you could bring some of it home with you? Not that you would try to do that, of course; but part of the pleasure in visiting a wonderful old estate is in putting yourself in the place of the people who lived there and imagining what it would feel like to use their things. We gaze in the gilt-framed mirror and wonder who else saw their reflection in that glass, or picture ourselves dipping a pen into that inkwell to write a letter to a loved one. Or we wander the orderly gardens on the site, imagining who else’s steps trod that same path. And what small piece of that history would come home with us, we wonder, if we did have the ability to take some THE FORMAL GARDENS of it with us? contain more than 4,000 annuals, 2,000 At the Vanderbilt Mansion perennials and hundreds of roses National Historic Site in Hyde Park, visitors this weekend will have the opportunity to take a little bit of history home with them in the form of plants that were grown in the Vanderbilt Gardens. The annual fundraising Memorial Day weekend plant sale hosted by the Frederick W. Vanderbilt Garden Association (FWVGA) will be a three-day event running Saturday through Monday, May 24 to 26. A wide variety of plants will be available for purchase, including perennials, annuals, herbs, vines and shrubs, many grown on-site in the Vanderbilt Gardens. Others will be supplied by volunteers from all over the Hudson Valley. The sale will be held in the parking lot of the Vanderbilt Mansion from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day, rain or shine. The proceeds benefit the maintenance of the gardens, which were rescued 30 years ago by the first volunteers of the nonprofit Frederick W. Vanderbilt Garden Association, who wanted to bring some life back into the long-neglected formal gardens on the Vanderbilt Mansion National Historic Site. A large, formal garden was common to most of the big estates in early-20th-century America. The Vanderbilt estate – built by Frederick Vanderbilt, grandson of commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt – was no exception. An enthusiastic gardener himself, Frederick Vanderbilt established an Italian-style terraced garden containing numerous varieties of roses, annuals and perennials. After his death in 1938, however, the estate was sold to the federal government. While the buildings and landscaping were preserved, the funding didn’t extend to the formal gardens. By the 1980s, the gardens had suffered the effects of weather, time and neglect, and many felt that it was a lost cause even to try to resurrect them. But those volunteers who formed the FWVGA with the intention of saving the gardens persisted, starting without any funding and only a few beds of annuals. Over the years, more than 100 other volunteers joined in, and now the formal gardens on the site contain more than 4,000 annuals, 2,000 perennials and hundreds of roses. The work that the volunteers put in is impressive: A few years ago, the group determined that their efforts at that time amounted to more than 207,000 hours of work raising money, researching garden history, planting, weeding and caring for the plants and fountains in the garden. The FWVGA’s plant sale this weekend will further the group’s current mission of maintaining the gardens and offering various programs of interpretation and education for their members and the general public. And funds raised will benefit the FWVGA’s current undertaking: a major project to restore the Cherry Walk – named for the rows of Amanogawa and Okame cherry trees on each side of the walk – to bring the garden closer to the way it looked during the time of Frederick Vanderbilt’s residency in the 1930s. Some of the perennials that will be available for purchase at this weekend’s sale were dug up from in front of the stone wall on either side of the walk to make room for the new varieties to be planted. The cost of the project is estimated at $21,000 and will be financed through fundraising efforts like the plant sale. The Vanderbilt Mansion National Historic Site is located two miles north of the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Library and Museum in Hyde Park. – Sharyn Flanagan Frederick W. Vanderbilt Garden Association plant sale, Saturday-Monday, May 24-26, 9 a.m.-4 p.m., Vanderbilt Mansion National Historic Site Route 9, Albany Post Road, Hyde Park; (945) 229-6432, info@vanderbiltgarden.org, http://vanderbiltgarden.org.

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

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

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

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

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

background for a great deal of comedy and a little incidental tragedy.

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

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

“Newspapers continue to reign supreme, however, in the delivery of local news. If you want to know what’s going on in your town – whether the news is about the mayor or taxes or high school football – there is no substitute for a local newspaper that is doing its job. A reader’s eyes may glaze over after they take in a couple of paragraphs about Canadian tariffs or political developments in Pakistan; a story about the reader himself or his neighbors will be read to the end. Wherever there is a pervasive sense of community, a paper that serves the special informational needs of that community will remain indispensable to a significant portion of its residents.”

Well, Memorial Day weekend is upon us and the weather is warm and the trees and owers are bursting into life. I am trying to resist telling funny Memorial Day stories because I take this holiday very seriously. My deepest respect and admiration goes out to all that have served at our country’s behest, so, I’ll limit myself to the general joy of the season by asking; what does the Statue of Liberty stand for? It can’t sit down! On that profoundly silly note, I want to call your attention to a variety of new properties that have become available this week at Win Morrison Realty.

9 Ways From Sunday

NEW!

With all the options on this terriďŹ c little jewel, you have many ways to enjoy a home in the country and bring in some solid income. In West Shokan, near the town park, Heather Martin has found a dynamite property that ďŹ ts all the bills. You can live in the main house while renting out the apartment or garages, you can rent them all and become wealthy (you can have my brother-in-law Bertie move in and get him out of my guest room!), or just enjoy letting family surround you. The second best part is you are walking distance to the wondrous Asokan Reservoir. It has 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths, and a huge 3 car garage. The ďŹ rst best part? It’s $159,000!

“

Oh! This One?

NEW!

Almost everyone who stays in Woodstock for any length of time knows and admires this delightfully attractive, architect designed 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath, home on Glasco Turnpike. Our own Zoe Hirsch listed this delicious, 4 acre walking distance to town paradise, with its own pond and spectacular 50’ waterfall! There are vaulted ceilings in the open living/dining room and new sliders that lead out to the private deck overlooking the stream. The exterior is freshly painted, there’s new wood ooring and a new washer / dryer set, new bathrooms and to top it off (no pun intended) there’s a new roof, and a garage. You’ll also love the detached heated studio! $299,000

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

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

by Violet Snow 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

Lloyd voters to decide on term limit extensions for town supervisor, clerk & highway superintendent

T

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

90 Miles to present “I Remember Mama”

An Angeloch sky

Onteora board hears of cuts, tax rates, layoffs

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

Esopus papercutting artist extraordinaire Jenny Lee Fowler

W

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

She came to the shelter w/a rash over her whole body. Her skin is beautiful now but she is still feeling the stress of not being in a home.

She eats special food as we think she may have food allergies. She’s a petite polydactyl tuxedo so her extra toes can hug you even more! STARFISH; also petite, has a beautiful gray coat & golden eyes. She’s been in the shelter for more than a year. She’s one of the cats rescued from a huge humane law seizure. Before she was rescued, Starfish was picked on by some of the other cats in the hoarder’s house & suffered skin wounds that are improving but taking quite a long time to heal. About 2-3 years & we think a loving home (foster or adoptive) would give Starfish the peace she needs to fully recover. She’s such a sweet & friendly kitty. Separate foster or adoptive homes would be fine for Mystery and Starfish. Please call the Ulster County SPCA at (845)331-5377 extension 218 (Cat Supervisor) to find out more about these two lovely cats. PROJECT CAT is a non-profit cat RESCUE AND SHELTER.
