Sip amongst the stones Art history/wine-tasting tour this Saturday on Huguenot Street with painter Kevin Cook

H

istoric Huguenot Street (HHS) will host an art history tour with painter Kevin Cook, accompanied by a wine-tasting by the Millbrook Winery, on Saturday, May 23 at 4:30 p.m.

The tour and tasting will begin at the 1799 LeFevre House, located at 54 Huguenot Street in New Paltz.

Led by Cook, a Huguenot Street artist, resident and aficionado of local history and art history, the tour will highlight artworks in the 1799 LeFevre House, the Jean Hasbrouck House and the Deyo

House. Cook will speak about art in early America and the founders of the Hudson River School.

Cook is an accomplished landscape painter whose style is strongly influenced

by Hudson River School artists of the 19th century. He was recently named a painting fellow by the New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA), and has subsequently been invited to serve on NYFA’s Artists’ Advisory Committee. In addition, Cook leads popular tours at the Samuel Dorsky Museum and Historic Huguenot Street.

Winery will provide four estate wines made with Hudson Valley grapes. Guests will sample one wine at each stop, ending at the DuBois Fort. Guests will also receive passes to a complimentary wine-tasting and guided tour of the Millbrook Winery, which has been voted “Best Winery” in the Hudson Valley for the last 19 consecutive years.

A National Historic Landmark District, Historic Huguenot Street encompasses 30 buildings across ten acres that were the heart of the original 1678 New Paltz settlement, including seven stone houses that date to the early 18th century.

Registration for the Kevin Cook art history tour/wine-tasting cost $20 for members, $22 for seniors and military and $25 general admission. Preregistration is required by visiting www.huguenotstreet. org/rsvp or calling (845) 255-1660.

Natural forms Lynda Benglis, Luke Stettner exhibitions on view at Storm King Arts Center

N

ow that summery weather is here, we confront the challenge of what to do with one’s free time, with so many appealing day-trip options near at hand. Shall we opt for some active, kidfriendly outdoor fun, like a water park, or feed the mind and spirit with a visit to an art museum?

Well, at the Storm King Art Center we can get both at once. The 500-acre Mountainville sculpture park kicked off its 2015 season last weekend with the openings of two new exhibitions; and one of them, “Lynda Benglis: Water Sources,” enables the viewer to combine the aesthetic thrill of marveling at stunning artwork with the cooling relief of standing downwind of a fountain.

Benglis’ abstract sculptures, mostly cast in bronze, evoke primordial beasts and volcanic landscapes, and this show is the first to gather together all her works that incorporate literal flowing water along with apparently flowing metal forms.

On view concurrently through November 8 – as part of Storm King’s annual “Outlooks” series, which invites an emerging or mid-career artist to create a new, site-specific work – will be a large-scale outdoor installation by

Antiques for the arts Big Barn Sale at Unison in New Paltz this Saturday

EVENT

T

he Unison Arts & Learning Center has been a mainstay of the New Paltz cultural scene since its founding as the Friends of the Mountain School in the mid-1970s. Longtime admirers recently received a bit of a scare when the not-for-profit organization’s directors announced plans to close up its theater, art gallery and classroom space at 68 Mountain Rest Road in favor of a small office in the village and a policy of renting other performance venues for plays and concerts. Would Unison still be Unison if it abandoned its original home?

But a newly elected Board of Directors has given the traditional site a reprieve,

A thing of beauty is a joy for ever Woodstock-New Paltz Art & Crafts Fair at Ulster County Fairgrounds this weekend

P

altzonians always know that the summer tourist season is here when traffic backs up on Main Street all the way from the bridge over the Wallkill to Thruway Exit 18 on Memorial Day weekend. All those creeping cars are there for a very good reason: the first of the year’s two visitations of the Woodstock-New Paltz Art & Crafts Fair to the Ulster County Fairgrounds on Libertyville Road.

The Crafts Fair has been a reliable harbinger of summer, as well as closing out the season on Labor Day weekend, for 34 years now, and continues to draw crowds because the quality of the work is so high and the selection so mind-bogglingly huge.

It’s a juried show, tough to get into, with some 240 artists and craftspeople displaying their wares. The stunning backdrop of the Shawangunk cliffs, live demonstrations of crafters at work, lively lineup of musical entertainment and tasty fair-food choices all make it a grand day out, even if you somehow manage not to find a bunch of beautiful objects that you just can’t live without.

The spring Crafts Fair usually emphasizes outdoor furnishings, and this year is no exception, spotlighting the Corten steel environmental sculptures of New Hampshire-based artist Aaron Brown. Some are colored with powdercoated pigments, while others will weather to a natural-looking oxidized texture without ever rusting through. If your back forty lacks a dramatic visual focal point, this may be just the place to look.

The Woodstock-New Paltz Art & Crafts Fair opens at 10 a.m. on May 23 through 25, closing at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday and at 4 p.m. on Monday, Memorial Day. Allow lots of time to look at stuff, and consider driving the “back way” to the Fairgrounds via Gardiner if you want to avoid sitting in slow-moving traffic. Parking is free and ample; admission to the Fairgrounds costs $9 for adults, $8 for seniors and nothing at all for kids age 12 and under, who will find a tentful of craftmaking activities to keep them occupied while their parents browse.

– Frances Marion Platt Woodstock-New Paltz Art & Crafts Fair, Saturday/Sunday, May 23/24, 10 a.m.-5:30 p.m., Monday, May 25, 10 a.m.-4 p.m., $9/$8, Ulster County Fairgrounds, 249 Libertyville Road, New Paltz; www.quailhollow.com.

Unison events sell out, as nearly all this spring’s concerts have been doing, ticket sales don’t cover all operational costs, and the building and parking lot are in need of repairs. So hopes for the theater’s future are largely riding on the success of Unison’s big annual fundraising events.

One of these, the Barn Sale, returns this Saturday, May 23 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Admission to the Barn Sale is free from 9 a.m. on, $10 if you want first crack as an early bird between 8 and 9 a.m. On offer will be a wide variety of household items, home furnishings, gently worn clothing, tools, antiques, framed artwork, sports equipment, books, toys and games and more.

Unison will continue to accept donated items for the sale through Friday, May 22, and volunteers for the day are also needed.

Dylan is said by some to have exaggerated the severity of his injuries from his 1966 motorcycle wreck in order to get off the road and spend some time cocooning with his young family at their Byrdcliffe home; but they were so persistently hounded by uninvited visitors that they ended up moving to New York City in search of greater privacy.

But the hippies kept on coming, older Woodstockers complained about people sleeping on their lawns, and the local police started harassing and jailing the new arrivals. So in 1970, Gail Varsi and some other compassionate residents of the community began offering temporary shelter, food and counseling to these refugees to Woodstock Nation, and let the police use her home phone number as an emergency referral for kids in need or legal trouble.

The John Herald Fund was set up in memory of the singer/guitarist to provide small lump sums of financial aid to people in need of a one-time boost like a prescription refill or an auto repair to help them climb out of adverse circumstances.

Guitarist and music teacher Happy Traum â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who initially collaborated with Dylan in 1963, recorded the first-ever versions of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Blowinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in the Windâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Think Twice, Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s All Rightâ&#x20AC;? with the New World Singers and performed on Bob Dylanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Greatest Hits, Vol. 2 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; has been organizing these annual birthday bashes for seven years now.

IT COULD BE ARGUED THAT NO GENERATION has clung to the reins of youth and cool quite as fiercely as the original Woodstock generation, so kudos to Bethel for recognizing a kindred spirit and an unlikely heir in the global electro movement.

There’s no place like Ohm Mysteryland electronic music festival amps it up at Bethel Woods this weekend

ike a good low-budget indie film that requires the money, staff and resources of a syndicate of production companies, each with its own brand, logo and need for top-line acknowledgment, resulting in outlandish opening credit-clusters like, “Sick Dog Films and Corner Store Productions, in association with Lem-

ming Life, Inc. and Three-Corner Boxes presents Running Man Pictures’ Raising Judas, a Just Kids joint…” …like that, so is Mysteryland, a traveling Electronic Music, Culture and Art festival and an event of global cultural significance. A virtual Versailles Treaty of promotion and production interests, Mysteryland begins its third annual

takeover of the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts on May 22. It may bring more than 50,000 people to the Yasgur estate.

Mysteryland events in Europe have been known to attract upwards of 500,000.

If you haven’t heard much about this massive electricity draw close enough to dim your living room lamp a little, you may be A) rural, B) the type who prefers guitars, C) over 40 or D) me.

In performance, electronic music often seems like an awful lot of pressing “Play” with some limited provision for mixing spontaneity, but there is no denying the artistry that goes into the composition and production of the files in question, back at the lab. It’s a crowdcentric thing, of course, the EDM world: an immersive sensory experience that is about states of mind and states of media, not stars per se.

Still, I figure that Mysteryland must be landing some of the biggest names and reputations in the field. Reading over the lineup, I firmly recognize only one name: Australian electropop duo and nasal-voiced indie-scene darlings Empire of the Sun. I thought that I recognized a few others, but then I realized that Mysteryland’s egalitarian lineup page (arranged by alphabetical order, not pecking order) also included the names of the food vendors. Chickpea and Olive sounds familiar, but it is not an electro outfit; it is chickpeas and olives.

Chapel Hill native and EDM breakout

star Porter Robinson’s recent album Worlds is a wowfest of extravagant sound design and long-arc electropop compositions. Belgian producer Netsky practices the more Spartan and gritty electro subgenre known as drum ’n’ bass. On 2015’s All in All, Bob Moses (disambiguation: the Brooklyn electro duo, not the legendary jazz drummer who plays at the Falcon from time to time) blurs the already-fully blurredline between club music and academic Minimalism. It sounds a little like a cross between new borough post-club antitrance and downstep Miami dry chill.

It could be argued that no generation has clung to the reins of youth and cool quite as fiercely as the original Woodstock generation, so kudos to Bethel for recognizing a kindred spirit and an unlikely heir in the global electro movement. The museum at the Bethel Center has synched an exhibit to the arrival of Mysteryland: “Peace, Love, Unity, Respect: The Rise of Electronic Music Culture in America” is an artand-artifact exhibit inspired by the new sounds and crowds that Mysteryland USA

um. The program, approximately 45 minutes long, will be repeated from 2 to 5 p.m. Free refreshments will be served on the museum porch.

Ars Choralis was first formed, using that name, in 1965, but a couple of years later it became the Mid-Hudson Madrigal Society, focusing on vocal works for small ensembles. Under the direction of Dr. Richard Olsen, the group re-expanded and resumed its original name.

Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance will revert temporarily to the Madrigal Society format, with groups of three to six people and even some solos. Among the Renaissance composers represented will be Weelkes, Cornish, Lasso, Morley, Holborne, Byrd and even Henry VIII, who was a talented musician and composer.

Guitarist Greg Dinger, a member of the ensemble, will accompany several lute songs of the great John Dowland.

With this small an ensemble, there is no need for a conductor. So Ars Choralisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; music director, Barbara Pickhardt, will be joining the singers. She was one of the original Mid-Hudson Madrigal Singers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an interesting process to hear these singers learning the intimacy of the madrigal format,â&#x20AC;? she says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;with its delicacy and interweaving lines. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a charming style of music to sing. Vocally it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take rich voices, but it does take listening and being part of an intimate circle. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve watched the transformation of these singers. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really enjoying it.â&#x20AC;?

Pickhardt will also be delivering a gallery talk, â&#x20AC;&#x153;From the Podium â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in Person,â&#x20AC;? when the exhibit closes on May 31. Then she will turn her full-time attention to preparing the chorus for Mozartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Requiem, coming to the Maverick Concert Hall on June 13 and 14. There is no admission charge for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Merry Madrigals in May,â&#x20AC;? but any donations will be divided between the Historical Society and Ars Choralisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; orchestra fund. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Leslie Gerber

The late Ludwig Montesa. Ludwigâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main passion, beyond being friends with everyone, was the karaoke performance of show tunes and torch songs: a practice that he had begun at the New Paltz open mics of the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;90s and that he continued up until his death at the age of 34 in April of 2013.

TRIBUTE

DOWNTOWN NEW PALTZ CELEBRATES LUDWIG DAY THIS SATURDAY

T

wo years after the untimely passing of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;patron saintâ&#x20AC;? and the â&#x20AC;&#x153;unofficial ambassadorâ&#x20AC;? of New Paltz, Ludwig Montesa, the day that bears his name continues to be recognized in the village and celebrated with themed events and lots of live music. This year, Ludwig Day is celebrated throughout the village on Saturday, May 23; but the festivities will have begun the evening before at Bacchus (4 South Chestnut Street), where two outstanding and very different world/reggae-oriented bands, the Big Takeover and Los Thujones, co-headline the Ludwig Day Kickoff bash, beginning at 10 p.m. These two bands, says Los Thujonesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Rick Schultz, had performed together at Ludwigâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last birthday party.

As opposed to the first two Ludwig Day celebrations, during which daytime events were staged at venues and at various ad hoc sites throughout the village, this year the organizers have decided to try a centralized daytime stage at Hasbrouck Park on Mohonk Avenue. The lineup of performers and activities is still being finalized, but the window is clear: 12 noon to 5 p.m.

This year, the Oasis CafĂŠ (58 Main Street) debuts a Ludwig-style karaoke party between 5 and 7:30 p.m. As many villagers but maybe not so many outsiders know, Ludwigâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main passion, beyond being friends with everyone, was the karaoke performance of show tunes and torch songs: a practice that he had begun at the New Paltz open mics of the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;90s and that he continued up until his death at the age of 34 in April of 2013. Bands begin at Oasis at 8 p.m. and continue all night.

Bloodwig, the Ludwig-themed punk/metalfest, returns to Snug Harbor (38 Main Street) and features such heavies as Pete Crottyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long-running epic punk band NCM, Exit 17 and the New Paltz-headquartered, nationally recognized heavy psych band Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Not Night; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Space. Music begins at Snugâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at 2 p.m.

Bacchus isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t taking Saturday off, either. The outstanding New Paltz progressive psychedelic band Breath Collective, supporting their spanking new album Gatekeeper, headlines the Bacchus stage on Saturday along with Acoustic Sun â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the longtime ecstatic groove project of Ludwigâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s close friend John Curran IV â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the talented young instrument-swapping funk/soul outfit the Kairos. Â â&#x20AC;&#x201C; John Burdick

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amazing how some things find a home. Tommy, that first bonafide â&#x20AC;&#x153;rock operaâ&#x20AC;? by Pete Townshend and the Who, got some of its first performances at the old Tamarack Lodge outside of Ellenville back before its

recording dates were even booked. A year or so later it got its first megablasting-out at the Woodstock Festival down in Bethel. Then it got revived at the similarly revived Woodstock Playhouse. And now the Castaway Players Theatre Company version of the classic gets an encore concert performance at the Bearsville Theater in Woodstock alongside a new performance of Amy Winehouseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s classic album Back to Black, sung by the amazing Remember Jones.

The beerdrinking festival season kicks off with a vengeance this 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 farmto-table cuisine and some of the area’s best musicians.

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.

Music by the mugful at Craft Brew Boogaloo

A

s WDST has a big hand in producing the inaugural Craft Brew Boogaloo at Cantine Field in Saugerties on Saturday, May 23, the music lineup in some respects represents a hand-picked curation of the local talent pool by Radio Woodstock, the radio station recognized nationally as the original pioneer of the AAA (album-oriented adult alternative) format. The names on the bill will come as no surprise to anyone who follows the shows that Radio Woodstock produces at the Bearsville Theater, as these local-scene stalwarts and luminaries are ever likely to appear there as headliners or as openers on the big-name shows.

Radio Woodstock has done a fine job at diversifying the sound for the Boogaloo without sacrificing the essential coherence of the Woodstock-area original music scene. The wildly popular reggae/world big band the Big Takeover will provide the most danceable set at the Boogaloo. Elijah Wolf will bring his more reflective indie/roots material. Harder-edged but still Hudson-friendly rock comes courtesy of the Grape and the Grain, the project of 3 bassist Daniel Grimsland.

Entry to the Boogaloo begins at 2 p.m. As this is a complex event combining brew, cuisine and music, ticketing options are various and can be perused at www.craftbrewboogaloo.com.

ALMANAC WEEKLY

Matthias Schoenaerts and Carey Mulligan in Far from the Madding Crowd

The passionate shepherd to his love Far from the Madding Crowd is a romantic wallow with lyricism and class

S

eems like it has been ages since a really good date movie hit the silver screen, or a really good chick flick (no, 50 Shades doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t qualify as either). But now along comes a new cinematic interpretation of Thomas Hardyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s classic 1874 novel, Far from the Madding Crowd, and it should make a lot of people happy this summer.

Fairly faithfully adapted by David Nicholls (One Day), directed by Danish Dogme 95 movement co-founder Thomas Vinterberg (The Celebration, The Hunt), with cinematography by Charlotte Bruus Christensen, Far from the Madding Crowd 2015 upholds the tradition of John Schlesingerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s epiclength 1967 version by feasting the eyes with the most glorious images that one might wish of southwestern Englandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dramatic landscapes. One could watch it with the sound off and still come away feeling replete with gorgeousness.

But donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do that: Another of the movieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s many strengths is the lush score, which is replete with authentic British traditional ballads and infectious dance tunes of the period. Eliza Carthy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; daughter of folkmusic royalty Martin Carthy and Norma Waterson and no slouch herself as a musician, having been taught to fiddle by the great Dave Swarbrick â&#x20AC;&#x201C; was cannily brought in to do the arranging and also perform on the trad numbers. So one might arguably enjoy the movie with the picture off as well.

You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really want to do that, either.

Far from the Madding Crowd is a delicious wallow in romance that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t at all cutesy, cheesy or cloying. Headstrong, impulsive heroine Bathsheba Everdene (Carey Mulligan) is one of the most admired feminist icons in 19th-century literature; next to her, Scarlett Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hara looks like a spoiled, petulant brat. Bathsheba is

an icon of what is trendily referred to these days as â&#x20AC;&#x153;female agencyâ&#x20AC;?: Though a beauty, she does not derive her self-esteem from male admiration, and she makes it explicitly clear that she is in no need of a husband. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not afraid to wade into the sheep dip, long skirts and all, priding herself on working harder and longer hours than anyone else on the farm that she has inherited from her grandfather.

But Bathsheba is no perfect Mary Sue, either. Sometimes sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do something on a whim that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t turn out so well, like sending an unsigned Valentine to the neighborhoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most hard-to-get rich bachelor. And for good or ill, she can be blockheadedly stubborn and frustratingly dense, failing for years to see that her soulmate is within easy reach, patiently waiting and quietly devoting himself to her best interests, no matter the cost to himself. That, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s abundantly clear from the outset, is the steadfast shepherd Gabriel Oak, winningly portrayed by Matthias Schoenaerts, a lunky hunk in the

style of the young GĂŠrard Depardieu. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not flashy, but even the aloof Bathsheba recognizes that he has an instinctive genius for farming, with one eye always reading the skies.

And speaking of farming, when was the last time that you saw a fiction film that truly conveyed the drama and dignity inherent in that work, instead of just using a farm as a picturesque location?

Methinks youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have to go back to Richard Pierceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1979 indie feature Heartland to find another that treats the profession with such respect for its dangers,

heartbreaks and triumphs as Far from the Madding Crowd. The staff of the Everdene farm bonds like soldiers in battle under Bathshebaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fully committed leadership, and fragments when she loses her way in an ill-considered romantic entanglement that brings in an irresponsible new boss.

After blowing off Gabrielâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s marriage proposal early on, and then dithering for ages over an offer from that prosperous middle-aged neighbor, William Boldwood (Michael Sheen), Bathsheba is finally swept off her feet by a charming cad in a scarlet uniform, British Army sergeant Frank Troy. Unfortunately, the first time Troy appears onscreen, he looks so dorky smirking under his big white helmet that I giggled, thinking (never having read the book) that the character was intended as a comic foil.

In fact, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supposed to be a dashing fellow, inspiring a belated erotic awakening in the ever-practical heroine via a deft display of swordplay. Mulligan does a terrific job of communicating that arousal, in an early-18th-century sort of way; but Tom Sturridge is badly miscast as Troy, and utterly fails to convince us why a woman as formidable as Bathsheba might prefer him to her other two suitors. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the only real hole in the otherwise-sturdy fabric of this very fine film.

Sheen, by contrast, portrays Boldwood with great subtlety as a proud and confident confirmed bachelor undergoing his own awakening, deeply shaken by the knowledge that the woman he finally knows he wants just isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as impressed with him as all the other eligible ladies of the district. Also very good is Juno Temple as Fanny Robin, a former Everdene farm servant seduced and discarded by a certain disreputable Army officer.

But mostly this movie belongs to Mulligan, who comes across as a veritable force of nature. In her hands we are ready to believe that, for all her defiance of the gender protocols of her day, Bathsheba is a woman who commands the attention of every man who crosses her path â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a true alpha female who refuses to be anybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s victim, even Fateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s or the weatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, for long. Goddess knows that the movies these days could use some more of those. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Frances Marion Platt

Hive on the Hudson Lots to do this season at FDR sites in Hyde Park

T

he National Park Service – the legacy initiated by that other Roosevelt, the one fondly called Teddy – is nearly

a century old in its mission to preserve our country’s awesome natural landscapes and historical monuments. It has launched programs to attract new generations of visitors, particularly aiming to diversify the demographic that comes to sites all over the country each year. In our own back yard in Hyde Park, special activities and events – like the End-2End Hike on June 6, the Beatrix Farrand Lecture Series on June 7 and Project Write: Writing into History, A Young Writers’ Program to be held in July – are offered to augment visits to local historic

sites.

This month at the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Historic Site, the schedule is packed. A special evening featuring World War II-era entertainment will take visitors back to the Roosevelt days as the FDR Presidential Library hosts a USO Show on Friday, May 22 at 7 p.m. Attendees will be transported to the 1940s for an evening of comedy, historic film footage and music in the Wallace Center. Come take a trip down Memory Lane – or create new ones under the spell of mid-century entertainment.

On Saturday and Sunday, May 23 and

24, the lawn in front of the Library will take on the appearance of a World War II encampment from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., replete with period military vehicles and soldiers in GI dress, ready for battle.

History enthusiasts, families, teachers and students will get a vivid feeling of what our soldiers endured during that conflict. A Graveside Memorial Service will be held in the Rose Garden at the Home of FDR National Historic Site on Monday, May 25 at 1:30 p.m. to honor fallen veterans.

Often attended by up to 150 people, this annual wreath-laying ceremony welcomes

The gallery is laid out with remarkable items that came from celebrities, such as Walt Disney (a still from a 1930s cartoon), Roy Rogers, Cecil B. DeMille and Shirley Temple (she sent him a little

ALMANAC WEEKLY books, ship models, prints and drawings, so his admirers might make an image of his face out of stamps or another done in typeface, or send him a real working toy submarine that shoots torpedoes. He was a tremendous populist, connected with everyday Americans, and the things that he received from them reflect that connection. And in wanting to display the things that his people sent him, Roosevelt underlined how important it made him feel to be thought of by them.

A pictogram portrait of FDR created

by Frank Nedbalek epitomizes this mutual devotion of the people for the

man who led them through a war and out of poverty. The outer border of the pictogram contains the words â&#x20AC;&#x153;V DEC 7 1941 / PEARL HARBOR / MANILA WAKE / V MAN OF THE HOURâ&#x20AC;? in miniature type. Even smaller type that appears within the border contains patriotic slogans and excerpts from some of FDRâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s early wartime speeches.

Like many of these handmade gifts, this one must have taken the artist uncounted hours of intricate work to accomplish.

Some of the mysterious details to be seen on this year’s architectural odyssey include (from left to right): 19th century portrait of a young woman; 19th century barn door handle; Gothic Revival barge board, circa 1860; and a Colonial Revival door. Proceeds from the May 30 tour benefit the nonprofit Wallkill Valley Land Trust (WVLT), which has conserved 29 public and private parcels of land including the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail and the Rosendale Trestle. Represented in the towns of New Paltz, Gardiner, Shawangunk, Rosendale, Esopus, Lloyd, Plattekill and Marlborough, WVLT volunteers chose one of these regions every year to spotlight in this popular Historic House Tour.

Wallkill Valley Land Trust’s Historic House Tour highlights the Marlborough region

T

he Wallkill Valley Land Trust (WVLT) will feature the Marlborough region on its fifth annual Historic House Tour next Saturday, May 30 from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. “Houses on the Land: The Fruits of Marlborough from the Highlands to the Hudson” will take tourgoers on a self-guided journey through the hamlets of Lattintown, Milton and Marlboro, highlighting the area’s rural roots, riverside communities and generations of farmers and fruit-growers. Eight private homes and farmsteads will open their doors to the public, most of them for the first time. The tour also includes access to the 1858 Christ Episcopal Church, the 301-year-old Gomez Mill House and the 1883 Milton-on-Hudson train station, where the tour begins. The day will end with an informal wine reception for tourgoers, held at a private residence from 4:30 to 6 p.m.

Each of the homes will have docents on hand. The specific destinations won’t be revealed until the day of the tour, but while protective of the participating homeowners’ privacy until then, WVLT board member Vals Osborne was willing to give a few hints about what tourgoers will experience.

The oldest dwelling on the tour is an 18th-century framed house whose original owner/builder was a descendent of one of the New Paltz patentees, said Osborne.

The house is in its original condition, believed to be the earliest home in the region, and has some unusual features including a gable roof form known as

to buy them on the day of the event for $40. Members of the WVLT receive a $5 discount in either case, and the ticket price includes admission for all to the wine reception after the tour. Advance purchase is recommended, cautioned Osborne, as space is limited and the toursells out quickly. Tickets may be picked up on the day of the tour between 10:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. at the train station. Maps and detailed descriptions of the properties will be provided there, along with a suggested navigation route, but visitors are free to choose their own path.

Proceeds from the tour benefit the nonprofit Wallkill Valley Land Trust (WVLT), which has conserved 29 public and private parcels of land totaling approximately 2,000 acres since the organization was formed in 1987. Its efforts include conservation of the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail and the Rosendale Trestle. Represented in the towns of New Paltz, Gardiner, Shawangunk, Rosendale, Esopus, Lloyd, Plattekill and Marlborough, the WVLT chooses one of these regions every year to spotlight in its annual Historic House Tours.

This year’s choice of Marlborough turned out to be the most rewarding program yet that they’ve put together, said Osborne, thanks in large part to the extensive support that they received from town officials, the train station’s board and the homeowners; but it didn’t come to fruition without presenting a few challenges. “It took us longer to put this tour together because so little has been written about the architecture of the houses in that area,” she explained. “And we’re pretty serious about what we do. We try to document these different regions from a cultural as well as an agricultural perspective, and to move the information

forward in terms of adding to it, not just recirculating what is already known.”

By working in tandem with members of the Society for the Preservation of Hudson Valley Vernacular Architecture (HVVA), Osborne said, they achieved their goal.

“We’ve been able to actually make some contribution to the understanding of the architecture in the Marlborough region, which is very exciting.”

espite his long list of accomplishments, not many people really know much about Levi P. Morton. That changed last Saturday, May 16, when the Morton Memorial Library and Community House in Rhinecliff honored their namesake with a mystery theater/art auction benefit. For those who could not attend and unravel the mystery for themselves, here is the lowdown on Levi P. Morton, as promised in our last edition of Almanac Weekly.

Levi Parsons Morton (1824-1920) was an American businessman, banker, diplomat and statesman. Born in Vermont, he rose from a Horatio Alger-style childhood to become governor of New York, congressman from New York City and the 22nd vice president of our country, serving under president Benjamin Harrison. (He later declined the vice presidency in 1880, which would have put him and not Chester A. Arthur in the presidency after the assassination of James Garfield.) Instead, Morton accepted a position as ambassador to France, where according to the New York Public Library archives, Morton and second wife Anna remodeled their residence using their own money and set a standard for culture and style at the American legation (an early “Camelot,” perhaps?).

While in France, on behalf of the US, Morton accepted Bartholdi’s statue of Liberty Enlightening the World, into which he is said to have driven the ceremonial first rivet (see above illustration). In his later years Morton divided his time between homes in New York City and Rhinecliff, where he was living when he passed away at age 96 on the same date that he was born: May 16.

The quiet invasion DEC adds 126 species to banned list; PRISM looks for citizen science volunteers

P

ollution, overdevelopment, climate changeâ&#x20AC;Śthe list of degradations to the environment is extensive, posing huge challenges. But perhaps the biggest threat in the Hudson Valley is more insidious. The thick stands of phragmites in marshy areas along the Hudson River, the spindly stalks of garlic mustard and its asterisks of tiny white flowers that pop up everywhere in the yard, the escaped Japanese barberry bush whose thorny tangle of tiny, close-spaced leaves fills the forest like a vegetative mist: These omnipresent monocultures are more than an aesthetic issue. Not only do invasive species crowd out native species, reducing the biodiversity of our forests, river shores, fields and yards, but they also starve the soil of nutrients, seriously undermining the entire ecosystem. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Why not just let nature take its course?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? said Linda Rohleder, Trail Conference director of land stewardship and coordinator of the Lower Hudson Partnership for Regional Invasive Species Management (PRISM). â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because invasive organisms have not evolved with natives in the environment, the ecosystem has not adapted to invasives,â&#x20AC;? she explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Plants are the basis of the food web.

Most insects are adapted to eat three or fewer species of plants, and when you change those species, suddenly there are fewer insects and less food for birds and butterflies. Invading species have a ripple effect on the whole environment. If we let them run their course, it would still be green, but there would be a lot less species.â&#x20AC;?

Take garlic mustard, for example. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It

produces chemicals that inhibit beneficial fungi in the soil that are needed by a lot of wildflowers and tree species for healthy germination in order to thrive,â&#x20AC;? said Rohleder. While some invasives have some benefits, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The net effect is negative.â&#x20AC;? For example, birds eat the berries of burning bush and Japanese barberry, thereby spreading the seeds and enabling these plants to invade the forest; but they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as nutritious as the fruits of native plants.

Plus, a single invasive species produces food only in a limited period of time, displacing the multiple native plants that produce food throughout the season, she explained.

The problem of invasives means that â&#x20AC;&#x153;Simply buying land [to conserve it] is not enough,â&#x20AC;? she added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You need to actively manage it to preserve the native species.

Trilliums, for example, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t survive in areas with a lot of invasives.â&#x20AC;? When the host plants for certain butterfly species disappear, so do the butterflies. Aquatic invasives such as the red slider turtle

and rusty crayfish, which are sold in pet stores and bait shops, displace native fish and invertebrates. The rusty crayfish in particular is a monster species: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very aggressive, eating a lot of organisms and plants at the bottom of streams. .â&#x20AC;?

The spread of invasives can have other negative reperc ussions.

Fo r e x a m p l e , dense barberry stands â&#x20AC;&#x153;are a perfect habitat for mice, which are vectors for ticks,â&#x20AC;? said Thomas Lewis, principal of Tr i l l i u m Invasive Species Management, based in Esopus. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The bushes create an ideal humidity for the ticks to develop,â&#x20AC;? increasing the risk of Lyme

disease.

To raise public awareness and limit the damage, in March the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYS-DEC) issued regulations banning the sale, purchase and transportation of 126 species identified as invasive. The list includes 69 plants, 15 fish, 17 aquatic invertebrates (including several snails and clams), 13 terrestrial invertebrates (insects and land snails), five vertebrates (including the mute swan) and seven species of algae, bacteria and fungi. In addition, 29 species may not be knowingly introduced on or near public lands or natural preserves. Also banned is the transportation of firewood, which has played a huge role in the spread of the emerald ash borer and the destruction of millions of ash trees.

Among the prohibited plants are garlic mustard, Japanese barberry, Oriental bittersweet, phragmites, Japanese knotweed, multiflora rose, yellow iris, privet and Japanese stiltgrass, while the banned animals include walking catfish, common carp, sea lamprey, Asian earthworms, nutria, Eurasian boar and Asian clam. The insects include pests that are wreaking havoc on shade trees and forests, namely the Asian longhorn beetle, the hemlock wooly adelgid, the emerald ash borer and the Japanese pin sawyer, along with the Africanized honey bee. The complete list can be found at www.dec. ny.gov/animals/265.html.

Some species have a grace period: Nurseries are allowed to sell off their existing stock of Japanese barberry. If you already have barberry, burning bush and other ornamental invasive plants planted in your yard, you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be penalized, though â&#x20AC;&#x153;good environmental stewards would look to replace those plants with native plants,â&#x20AC;? advised Rohleder.

DION OGUST | ALMANAC WEEKLY

While some invasive plants and animals were introduced by nurseries or pet stores, others arrived by happenstance – as eggs buried in wood pallets, for example, or as packing material, in the case of Japanese stiltgrass. The explosion of international trade has intensified the threat, though Rohleder said that the problem has been on environmentalists’ radar for nearly a century. Only ten percent of species introduced from overseas become invasive, though sometimes it can take decades before it becomes a problem.

Japanese barberry, for example, “was a minor player in the forest in the 1970s before it suddenly exploded and had a rapid curve of growth,” she said. “It’s very difficult to determine which species is going to become invasive.”

The plant’s ability to cross-pollinate, its seed production and the places in which it’s planted all play a role, as might other stresses, such as habitat fragmentation or the warming climate. The explosion of the deer population has given invasives a huge boost: Deer only eat native plants, which enables the invasives to gain a foothold and spread. It’s a moving target, and Rohleder said that “More species are starting to be a problem that aren’t on the prohibited list.”

Her organization, the Lower Hudson PRISM, is one of eight in the state formed to monitor invasive species – it received state funding from the DEC in 2013.

The task includes establishing an early detection monitoring network and direct eradication and control efforts, as well as educating the public and training citizen volunteers. If you are interested in helping out, visit http://lhprism.org for training classes and events.

Has there been any success so far?

Rohleder said that in the case of the Asian longhorn beetle, efforts to contain it seem to be working, thanks to the aggressive cutting down of stands of infested trees.

In the case of the emerald ash borer, the battle is much more difficult, given that “We’re less able to identify the infested trees. It’s been able to move a lot faster than we anticipated.”

Injecting hemlocks with a pesticide protects them from being killed by the

hemlock wooly adelgid. “We’re making progress,” Rohleder said. “However, a lot of hemlocks are in steep ravines along streams, where we can’t access them or use a chemical treatment. When they die they’ll affect the water quality.” (The wooly adelgid has already progressed through the lower Hudson Valley and been found in some places in the Catskills, though it hasn’t yet reached the Adirondacks, she noted.) Hemlocks “are a huge component in cooling trout streams and controlling erosion,” noted Lewis.

One of the biggest challenges is complacency from the public. “If we could get everybody to go out and pull [up invasive plants], we could probably take care of the problem,” Rohleder said. “But a lot of people don’t feel it’s worth their time and effort. It’s a political problem.”

People continue to plant harmful invasives in their gardens, such as giant hogweed, which can grow ten feet high and has a huge flower. “It was sold by nurseries, and some people still want it in their yard.”

But awareness is increasing. Lewis, who earned a Master’s in Environmental Policy at Bard College and worked as a conservationist for the National Park Service before starting his consultancy, found that there was demand for management of invasive plants. Lewis gets a lot of calls about getting rid of knotweed and said that the most costeffective method is to inject the stem with herbicide. “I always try to do the method with the least impact, and the impact to the soil is Number One. I don’t like to pull out plants, which can cause erosion or cause seeds that are buried to germinate.”

If one does remove invasive plants, it’s best to “put them in a clear plastic bag and let them sit in the sun for 30 days, then put it in the trash,” advised Lewis.

“If I cut barberry, I just pile it, as long as there are no seeds. You have to be careful where you pile things: Multiflora rose can create roots along the stem. Don’t cut stiltgrass until late summer, “right before it produces seeds. You’ve eliminated production for that year,” he said.

“All these organizations working on this means that people are making a change,” he concluded. “Every little bit you pull out

There will be a spring bird migration walk at the John Burroughs Nature Sanctuary in West Park on Saturday morning, May 23 at 8 a.m. This early-morning hike will be led by John Burroughs Natural History Society president Mark DeDea. May is a great time to walk the Slabsides trails in West Park. Breeding birds are settling in, while other neo-tropical migrants are using the Nature Sanctuary to refuel and find safe harbor. It’s a fair bet that hikers will hear the Louisiana waterthrush below the waterfalls of the South Pond Trail. After bird-watching, participants will have the opportunity to tour the cabin and learn about John Burroughs’ love of birds.

This bird walk is the third in a series of outings at the John Burroughs Nature Sanctuary co-sponsored with and led

GARDENERâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S NOTEBOOK

Another vine mess Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to prune grapes, hardy kiwis

A

nyone appalled at the apparent brutality with which I approached my grape and kiwi vines a few weeks ago, pruning shears, saw and lopper in hand, would have been further shocked today. But no harm done. (The kiwis are â&#x20AC;&#x153;hardy kiwisâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that is, Actinidia arguta and A. kolomikta; fuzzy kiwis are not cold-hardy here.)

Left to their own devices, grape or kiwi vines would grow larger and larger, eventually, if coming upon something to climb, sending their fruits further and further out of reach â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or, if not out of reach, then increasingly tangled in a mass of stems. In the dank interior of that mass of stems, many a grape would have rotted rather than ripened.

Most importantly, though, grape or kiwi berries on untended vines donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t taste that good. Self-shading cuts down flavor-producing photosynthesis. And the plantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Â energies must be spread among too many fruits; pruning limits yield, but lets the plants pack more flavor into what fruit remains.

The first thing I did, when I began pruning a few weeks ago, was reorganize the vines. Both bear fruits on new shoots growing off one-year-old canes. I train these plants on T-shaped trellises, with five wires stretched from T to T. A trunk rises to the height of the wires, at which point it bifurcates into cordons â&#x20AC;&#x201C; permanent arms â&#x20AC;&#x201C; each traveling in opposite directions up and down the middle wire. The oneyear-old fruiting canes are splayed out perpendicularly to the cordons.

Both vines grow prodigiously every year, the fruiting canes too long and too abundant. So I shortened all the canes to three to four feet long, which was just beyond the outer wires, and cut off those super-vigorous ones having stratospheric aspirations.

Still too many canes, so I reduced their numbers. A couple of weeks ago, I went over the vines again, aiming (ideally) for one cane on either side of the cordon every six inches or so.

The average date for the last killing frost here is around the third week in May. Evidently not so, this year; but I wanted to wait to do the final grape and kiwi pruning until after that date. The tips of the canes would be the first to grow and, hence, frosted, which is not a problem if the canes would anyway be shortened again.

Now that frost is probably just a memory, I thinned out the canes one last time â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to almost a foot apart â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and further shortened those that remained.

The grape canes got shortened to two buds each, and the kiwi canes to about 18 inches long.

Pruning limits yield, but lets the plants pack more ďŹ&#x201A;avor into what fruit remains.

STORMVILLE AIRPORT

The next order of business, for just the grapes, will be bagging the bunches. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll wait until the berries have begun to swell, and then partially slit the folds of delicatessen bags so that they can be slid over a bunch with the stem holding the bunch sliding into the slits. Each bunch has a leaf or a tendril opposite the bunch, which needs to be clipped off so that the top of the bag can be tightly folded over the stem, then stapled shut on either side, just below the slit.

To see rather than (or in addition to) read about bagging grapes, see my video at www.leereich.com/video.

Why the bags? To keep diseases, birds, bees and other insects at bay. With this protection, ripe bunches can be left hanging longer than usual to develop very rich, sweet flavor. Worst-case scenario is that a bag is opened and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing inside. This sometimes happens. Best-case scenario is peeling open a bag to reveal a perfect bunch of grapes with ambrosial flavor.

Leeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spur-pruned grapes

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad that I planted the hardy kiwi vines many years ago, because it may be illegal to do so in the future.

Yes, illegal! No, not because you can smoke the plant, but because it has raised eyebrows in certain invasiveplant circles. Nonetheless, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very attractive vine with very tasty fruits.

And mine have remained well-behaved in the quarter of a century that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been in the ground.

In case you fellow New Yorkers were not aware of this, it is no longer legal to buy, sell or transport 126 species identified by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation as invasive.

Sixty-nine of these species are plants; hardy kiwi vines are not one of them â&#x20AC;&#x201C; yet.

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t doubt that there are plants that threaten to take over the world â&#x20AC;&#x201C; well, not the world, but certain ecosystems. That is why garlic mustard, Japanese knotweed and autumn olive are on that Most Unwanted list, despite their qualities.

Autumn olive, for example, enriches the soil with nitrogen garnered from the air by symbiotic microorganism at its roots.

Its flowers sweetly perfume the air in spring. And the small berries that ripen in early fall, if harvested as soon as they have lost their astringency, are rich in flavor and super-rich in healthful phytochemicals known as lycopenes.

Hardy kiwifruit has not been banned anywhere, but in 2012 the Massachusetts Audubon Society published an Invasive Plant Pest Alert strongly urging people not to grow or propagate this plant. Its statement was based on apparently

LEE REICH | ALMANAC WEEKLY

rampant growth that was documented at two sites in Massachusetts and one in New York.

The findings donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t jibe with the good behavior of numerous vines that have graced gardens, as ornamentals, in the eastern US since the late 1800s. Perhaps most of those plantings included only female or only male plants, in which case no viable seeds would be produced â&#x20AC;&#x201C; although the vines could also have spread by climbing trees or rooting where they touch ground under the right conditions.

Male and female kiwi vines do socialize when grown for fruit in commercial and research plantings. But again, plants hardly, if ever, have multiplied on their own at these locations, which concurs with my observations here on the farmden.

As a general rule, only ten percent of any introduced species are likely to become established on foreign ground, and only ten percent of those plants are likely to become invasive. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s be very careful in our condemnations and not blow the threat of invasive species out of proportion.

NIGHT SKY

Is the brain a digital machine?

L

ast week I explored information acquisition. We looked at direct versus indirect ways in which we gain knowledge, then the difference between analog and digital information. Now, in this concluding piece, we’ll examine the brain.

It’s natural to imagine that the brain operates digitally. On the cellular level, a neuron either fires a signal – sends a pulse of electricity – or it doesn’t. Such a “yes” or “no” process would seem precisely to define a digital operating system.

Moreover, since digital is all the geeky rage these days, it’s natural to imagine that our ultra-sophisticated brains must surely operate using the latest and greatest technology. But in real life, wouldn’t you know it? A brain is far more complicated than that.

First, each neuron achieves its goal of stimulating or communicating with another (or several other) neurons not by merely “pulling the trigger” once, but rather by a series of electrical firings. A more rapid series means a stronger signal.

Such variations produce complexities far beyond a mere zero-or-one state of affairs, and denotes a system whereby the brain’s nerve cell signals are ratcheted up or tuned down, along with frequencies that amount to a continuum – which means that the brain is an analog machine.

And there’s more to its complexity than even these signaling subtleties. A neuron typically receives electrical indicators from several others, and some of the incoming signals can be excitatory while others cause suppression; the entire cascade is like a symphony where the individual instruments modulate their strengths in complex ways. So what a particular neuron “decides” – its ultimate output – is the result of the total sum of all the varied signals that it is receiving, which definitely lies along a continuum and therefore is not at all digital.

Moreover, a neuron can have more than one synapse (connection point), and it can be distant from or close to the main body of the nerve cell, which matters, or else form a tight bundle with many others, or comprise a sparser, outlying connection. With so many possibilities even within the tiniest sample of brain

tissue, the aggregate of all ways in which signaling can unfold is staggering.

Expressing the possible different brain connections would require a number depicted by a one followed by more zeroes than could fill every line of every page of this newspaper. It’s not much of an exaggeration to call the brain/mind’s capability for variety limitless.

What’s cool is when we make our own latest technologies form interplays with our minds. Say we want to experience a movie, even one that’s in 3-D. In the early years of motion pictures, the original frame rate – 16 per second – lay within the mind’s “flicker fusion threshold” of 20 flashes per second, meaning that showing 16 different images per second during the silent film era, with a moment of darkness in between, was insufficient to prevent the mind from seeing separate bits of darkness. Everyone perceived a flickering.

The advent of sound also brought the introduction of a major visual cinema improvement. Since our minds “remember” and thus merge together images that arrive faster than about 20 per second, movies abruptly went to 72 images per second, which created seamless motion with no flickering. In practice there are really only 24 different images per second in motion pictures, but each frame is shown three times before the next image appears three times. The point is that our technology always has to be designed to operate in tune with

dimensional scene were present in front of him/her. Our takeaway from this: The magical sensation of depth must arise internally, when the visual input with its parallax discrepancies is sorted out and presented to the conscious level of the brain. It follows that the rest of one’s perceived visual world must be located there, too – not “out there” beyond our bodies somewhere.

There is nothing visual “out there” beyond the bone of the skull. All we know and can know is contained within our mind/brain.

the vagaries of our minds’ architecture, including its quirks.

If encoded on a DVD, where 50 gigabytes of data can be utilized for a single Blu-Ray movie, the 3-D effect merely requires that each eye see a different image. Today’s method either employs glasses whose left and right eyes receive individual vertical and horizontal polarization, or else rapidly flickering shutters so that each eye alternates in sync with the double images meant for it alone. That these methods create a true 3-D sense are instructive about reality.

Everyone who has two working eyes experiences the wonderful sensation of depth in his or her visual world. Yet a 3-D movie with its two flat images containing parallax information lets the observer experience marvelous binocular depth just as fully as if the actual three-

OWN YOUR OWN 6 ACRE LAKE

May 21, 2015

Hudson Valley Real Estate

Own your own pristine 6-acre lake on 56 acres. Fish, swim, canoe or kayak in your own personal paradise, with walking trails through the woods and a meandering stream.

Either happily live in the farmhouse, surrounded by lush, rolling landscaping or build your own structure on the lake, keeping the farmhouse for guest quarters. The classic red barn has been newly re-supported and the farmhouse, with its well-proportioned rooms and renovated kitchen and bathrooms, needs no further attention. But it is the lake, so rare to find, and the land that will beckon any buyer. Appropriately, the cross road of the property is called Paradise Hill!................ $449,000

Well Memorial Day is once again upon us and it is time for us to honor those that have given “their last full measure of devotion.” Memorial Day was originally called Decoration Day and it was initiated to honor the soldiers who died during the American Civil War. Celebrations honoring those soldiers started the year after the war ended. The establishment of a public holiday was meant to unify the nation as a national day of remembrance. By the late 19th century, it was expanded to include the deceased veterans of all the wars fought by American forces.

Situations Wanted

FOSTER HOMES NEEDED FOR KITTENS AND PREGNANT CATS.The WOODSTOCK FERAL CAT PROJECT is a local not for profit organization committed to reducing future feral cat populations through spay/neuter. We often find orphaned kittens who need a loving home until they are old enough to be adopted. Some orphaned kittens are so young that they require bottle feeding. We affectionately call them â&#x20AC;&#x153;bottle babiesâ&#x20AC;?. We recently placed three pregnant cats in three wonderful homes. The cats gave birth and when the kittens are weaned (no longer nursing), we will look to find loving homes for the kittens and their mothers. If you are interested in fostering or would like to learn more about fostering, please call (917) 282-2018 or email DRJLPK@AOL.COM.

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 21, 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.
