Woodstock festival breakout star Carlos Santana returns to Bethel Woods this Sunday

T

here are a lot of great rock guitarists in the world, but there aren’t all that many whose signature sound is so distinctive that they can’t be mistaken for anyone else once you’ve heard a phrase or two. A prominent place in the pantheon of those inimitable axe-slingers will be forever reserved for Carlos Santana, who is returning to the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts this Sunday as part of that venue’s summerlong celebration of the 45th anniversary of the Woodstock festival. Surprisingly, it’s only the third time that Santana will ever have played at the hallowed site, which must hold a special place in his player’s heart. It’s easy to forget that in 1969, the name Santana wasn’t already an international byword for rock/blues/jazz/world music fusion. Though it was rapidly amassing fans on the San Francisco club scene – including Fillmore impresario Bill Graham – his band had yet to release its eponymous first album. But Santana’s hard-

driving performance of the 11-minute instrumental “Soul Sacrifice” became a high point of the movie Woodstock, and the exposure drove the band’s debut LP and the single “Evil Ways” to the top of the charts and kept them there for a long time. Santana’s career has had its ups and

downs over the years. A lot of time spent woodshedding with jazz greats like Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Alice Coltrane, Jack DeJohnette, Dave Holland, Ron Carter, Tony Williams, John McLaughlin and McCoy Tyner honed the guitarist’s improvisatory chops but distanced some of the band’s more rock-oriented early fans. Still, Santana keeps circling back to his percussion-heavy Latin roots, and he has charted a Billboard Top Ten album in every decade since the 1960s: a feat equaled only by the Rolling Stones. He has won ten Grammy Awards and three

Latin Grammies, was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998 and was appointed to the Number 20 spot on Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time. So if his appearance as a relative unknown at the Woodstock festival back in August 1969 lit the fuse of a very successful career, why hasn’t Carlos Santana come back here more often? In his 2010 performance at Bethel Woods, Santana called the site “Ground Zero for peace and love…the place where miracles keep happening.” Maybe this return visit signifies the beginning of a trend – or maybe not. Best not take a chance of missing this living legend of trans-genre, cross-cultural electric guitar while he’s in our neck of the woods. The concert starts at 7:30 p.m. on Sunday, June 15.

The exhibit also includes a display of albums, posters, figurines, pins, fan-club ephemera and collectibles from the huge collection of rock memorabilia that Rod Mandeville is donating to the Museum. “America Meets the Beatles!” is open during regular Museum hours of 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Access is included in regular museum admission prices of $15 for adults, $13 for seniors age 65 and up, $11 for youth ages 8 to 17, $6 for children ages 3 to 7 and free for kids under age 3.

of the folk revival: Together they created and released a three-volume, six-disc series of records in the new LP format, incorporating some of the gems of Smith’s collection. (A long-planned fourth volume was released after Smith’s death in 1991). The Anthology of American Folk Music not only galvanized a generation of neofolk performers; it also revived the careers or restored the legacy of many great American roots artists whose work was in peril of being lost from our collective cultural memory. Among the performers whose early recordings were captured and popularized in the Folkways compilation were the Carter Family, Uncle Dave Macon, Charlie Poole, Dock Boggs, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Mississippi John Hurt, Furry Lewis, Sleepy John Estes and Blind Willie Johnson, plus many other names still regarded as obscure today. Adding to the recording’s nowlegendary status were Smith’s quirky liner

notes, which consisted mainly of synopses of each song’s narrative, rendered in newspaper headline style. Thus Chubby Parker’s 1928 version of “Froggy Went A-Courtin,’� titled “King Kong Kitchie Kitchie Ki-Me-O,� is described by Smith as “Zoologic Miscegeny Achieved,� for one oft-cited example. The covers were decorated with a 16th-century etching of

he great folk music revival of the 1960s didn’t happen out of thin air, nor simply due to the ever-shifting whims of popular tastes. Before the likes of Dave Van Ronk, Joan Baez and Bob Dylan, the New Lost City Ramblers and John Fahey could start cranking out covers of old-timey ballads, country blues and Appalachian gospel tunes, someone had to collect and republish them. The general public has at least some vague awareness of the work of such itinerant ethnomusicologists as father and son John and Alan Lomax in preserving old songs and musical styles through field recordings, or by bringing performers with long memories into the studio. But collectors of phonograph records from the earliest era of recording technology also helped immeasurably in saving the works of many obscure artists from being lost to time. Perhaps the most influential of those collectors was an underground filmmaker named Harr y Everett Smith. Born in Oregon in 1923 and raised in Washington by pantheistic Theosophist parents, Smith was by all accounts a bit of an odd duck. He was an amateur anthropologist who studied the traditional music, folkways and spirituality of the Lummi Indians; a beatnik and jazz fan who palled around with Allen Ginsberg and Ed Sanders; an

He first began collecting out-ofprint blues recordings in the 1940s, then moved on to include what was then called “hillbilly music�: backwoods country, bluegrass, Cajun and gospel tunes. Smith was also an alcoholic and heavy user of hallucinogenic drugs who was rarely gainfully unemployed – though he put years of work into his experimental art films, some of which are still preserved in Jonas Mekas’ Anthology Film Archives collection – and occasionally homeless.

a fanciful musical instrument from an alchemical treatise and color-coded to relate the subject matter to the elements of fire, water and air (and later earth). Among the generation of young folkies who congregated in Greenwich Village in the late ’50s and early ’60s, the Anthology of American Folk Music became known simply as the “Harry Smith Anthology,” and it was studied with fervor. According to Van Ronk, “We all knew every word of every song on it, including the ones we hated.” The seminal compilation was reissued on vinyl with different cover art, and rereleased on CD by Smithsonian Folkways in 1997. The Harry Smith Anthology has also inspired the occasional tribute concert by musicians who came under its influence, and one of those is planned for this Saturday at the Bearsville Theater. Unsurprisingly, old Smith crony Ed Sanders is behind the event, and local veterans of the West Village folk scene of the ’60s like John Sebastian, Happy Traum and Steve Katz will be performing. Eric Weissberg will join banjo buddy Bill Keith and the Saturday Night Bluegrass Band. Also on the program are Jay Ungar & Molly Mason, Professor Louie & the Crowmatix, Mikhail Horowitz & Gilles Malkine, Bill & Livia Vanaver, Charlie Knicely, Fre Atlast’s Women of the World drum ensemble and the Rosendale Improvement Association Marching Band and Social Club. This stellar lineup won’t just be honoring the memory of an obsessive and multitalented record collector, however: It’s raising money through this concert for the Hudson Valley Musical Instrument Drive being organized by Hungry for Music. The not-for-profit organization “supports music education and cultural enrichment…by acquiring and distributing quality musical instruments to underserved children with willing instructors and a hunger to play.” More than 7,000 instruments have been donated to needy students around the world over the past two decades. If you have a working instrument that’s gathering dust, you can donate it to the cause by visiting www.hungryformusic. org. Or just come to the “Tribute to Harry Smith Anthology of Folk Music” show at the Bearsville, which starts at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, June 14.

On Wind of Hours Unwinding, Poughkeepsie’s The Warp/The Weft align themselves in one deft stroke with the great tradition of British progressive folk and the psychedelia of the Isles: the spectral, chamber-folk colors of Fairport Convention or Steeleye Span and such modern heirs as the Decembrists. Most of all, The Warp/The Weft’s big-bottomed folk/rock evokes the electrified Anglo-core of Jethro Tull: pre-Grammy, pre-suck. Even when this record rocks (and it does often, at times thunderously; “Medicine In” could almost be described as pirate metal), it rocks with a rounded, seafaring quality, due in part to the band’s predilection for 6/8 and ¾ time signatures and in part due to singer/songwriter Shane Murphy’s ghostly and lilting vocals, which keep one foot always firmly planted in the clouds. A hurdy-gurdy, bells, piano and some subtle electronic elements augment the electric/acoustic guitar rock core, along with a few vocal cameos by one of our region’s most compelling and unusual

Summer Soulstice Bearsville Picnic tradition revives next Saturday with party

T

his spring, some enterprising Woodstock folks came up with the idea to resurrect the Bearsville Picnic: a series of outdoor, daylong summer shows staged on the lovely streamside grounds of the Bearsville Theater. The original Bearsville Picnic was the handiwork of none other than Albert Grossman, the legendary manager of Dylan, Joplin, the Band and many more. Grossman’s Bearsville Picnics happened in the ’70s and featured the kind of weave of local and international luminaries of which Woodstock has always been capable. One Bearsville Picnic was the subject of a full-length broadcast by the legendary BBC live music television show The Old Frey Whistle Test. The show’s host, Whispering Bob Harris, interviewed Grossman, Todd Rundgren, John Sebastian, Jesse Winchester, Paul Butterfield and Mick Ronson. Foghat and others performed live. Now Woodstock’s Alex Law, of Aquarius Productions, has brought the idea back to life. The series begins on Saturday, June 21 with the Summer Soulstice Party, featuring performance by Naked, Clipadelic’s Host Ghetto Mess, Elijah and the Moon, Fillet of Soul and more. The show will be followed by Deejay Sterling in the Bearsville lounge. Food trucks and vendors will be on-site. In the event of rain, the show moves into the theater. Tickets cost $20 at the gate. They are also available at www. bearsvilletheater.com. On Sunday, July 20, the Bearsville Picnic returns with a program titles Reggae by Nature. The series concludes on Sunday, August 24 with a lineup to be announced. Portions of the proceeds from Bearsville picnics will be donated to Family of Woodstock. – John Burdick

singer/songwriters, Andrea Tomasi. Oddly, for all the band’s portentous sonics, grand dynamics and epic forms, Murphy’s lyrics steer clear of the archaisms and affectations that might seem an inevitable complement to this dramatic, Celtic-tuned rock. His symbol-laden but startlingly imagistic verses remain modern and conversational for the most part, reminding me more of the love/ politics/nature triangle of Pablo Neruda than of Ian Anderson and the lot. When The Warp/The Weft celebrate the release of Wind of Hours Unwinding at BSP on Saturday, June 14, they’ll be joined by some genuine kindred spirits, albeit ones firmly rooted on the west side

of the Atlantic. Two Dark Birds, led by songwriter Steve Koester, are themselves purveyors of stormy, rock-enriched and literate Catskill folk with an expanded sonic palette. Their terrific 2011 release Songs for the New situates Koester’s sturdy confessional songs in settings as diverse as low-riding groove and faux-Baroque brass quartets. Whether Murphy and Koester had already recognized their oblique kinship or whether this is just another example of BSP pushing all the right buttons, I cannot say; but anyone interested in an evening of hypersmart and ambitious folk-plus had best not miss this show. – John Burdick

Vic Ruggiero plays Woodstock’s Colony Café this Saturday

Keyboardist, singer and songwriter Vic Ruggiero made his name as a featured member of the Slackers, a significant and prolific New York Citybased ska band in the style often called

7 “third wave.” The first wave of ska happened in Jamaica, of course, in the ’50s and ’60s. The second wave mostly describes the British variety of ska, 2 Tone, popularized in the ’70s. Unlike so many second- and third-wave ska bands – from the Specials in the ’70s and the Mighty Mighty Bosstones in the ’80s to our own regional ’90s legends Perfect Thyroid – the Slackers are kind of the opposite of hyper, frenzied and frenetic: Their groove is languid, graceful, smooth and deep, their tempos moderate, their arrangements sophisticated, layered and melodically rich. Even so, they are a party band of sorts; but it is a smoldering, moody and soulful party. In his memorable solo performances, Ruggiero shelves ska entirely in favor of an early rock ’n’ roll, blues, country and rockabilly fusion. Like a street musician, he performs solo on guitar (what appears to be a cheap Teisco from the ’60s), a bass drum and a high-hat for his feet and a harmonica. Unsurprisingly, his groove remains languid, graceful, smooth and deep. The songs on his 2008 solo release Something in My Blindspot have that timeless and familiar quality, like discovering standards that you’ve never heard before. The newly revitalized Colony Café features Ruggiero at the head of a lively

NIGHT SKY

Weird honey Moon Several loony qualities come together this weekend

T

his is the “orange Moon” time of year. Or at least amber: a true honey Moon – not bright white at all. Several reasons: Humidity maxes out in the warm weather, and this reddens everything in the sky, especially near the horizon. And the Full Moon is now so low that it’s noteworthy. And did we mention, it’s also unusually big? All this happens on Friday the 13th. Watch it rise just after sunset Friday, and you’ll see it big and orange. As the night goes on, it never climbs very high. It’s the lowest Moon of the year. I used to think that this Full Moon of June was the origin of the word “honeymoon,” since it is amber, and also because weddings were traditionally held this month. But the honeymoon term seems unrelated to the June Moon’s amber appearance. Anyway, weddings are now most often held in August or September. I lazily looked up “honeymoon” in Wikipedia, which cites the first known literary reference in 1552, in Richard Huloet’s Abecedarium Anglico Latinum. “Hony mone, a term proverbially applied to such as be newly married, which will not fall out at the first, but th’one loveth the other at the beginning exceedingly, the likelihood of their exceadinge love appearing to aswage, ye which time the vulgar people call the hony mone.” In other words, like the phases of the Moon, a Full Moon is analogous to a wedding: the happiest time in a relationship, after which some of the brightness wanes. A sad thought. Let’s not carry that with us this weekend. But do remember how low and yellow it is. Next December and January, if you again look at the Full Moon at its highest, it’ll hover nearly straight up. As for the Friday the 13th, this happens once or twice a year, so it’s not particularly rare – although Full Moons land on that date only every 14 years, and “highest” or “lowest” Full Moons hit it much more rarely still. Probing the origin of its supposed bad luck, the Friday part is obvious: It was the weekday that Christ died. But 13 is odder. The number is considered downright lucky in some countries and contexts. Nor is there any Biblical or classical Greek work in

DION OGUST | ALMANAC WEEKLY

which 13 is denigrated. Globally, the number four is more often associated with bad luck – probably because its pronunciation in Mandarin is very similar to how you’d say the word for “death.” Another draw is that the Moon, in its oval orbit, reaches its monthly near-point to Earth just one day later – on Saturday night. So Friday finds it larger than normal. This gets added to the fact that a low Moon always looks bigger anyway. It’s the famous Moon illusion. This psycho-optical effect is caused by placement next to distant earthly objects like chimneys, instead th of being high and thus dwarfed within the sky’s vastness. Finally, since June’s warm nights beckon folks to be outdoors at sporting events or evening strolls, it helps give this Moon extraordinary presence. It will get particularly noticed because people tend to look more or less straight ahead and not high up. So while winter Full Moons spend most of the night overhead, this Moon hovers in the visual field and gets seen – especially within one hour after it rises: at 9 p.m. Friday evening and 10 p.m. Saturday. Oddly, there is no official name for this lowest and most amber Full Moon of the year. Some American colonists and the Algonquins called it the “Full Strawberry Moon,” but that term was used by no other tribe. In any case, the name never stuck, nor became official. How about if we just stick with Honey Moon? – Bob Berman

hat would it be like, I wonder, to be a well-educated person of color whose guilty pleasure just happens to be period dramas by the likes of Jane Austen and George Eliot, populated almost entirely by rich white English people? Would you have to keep your literary/cinematic fandom hidden, lest your peers question your ideological commitment to social change? Until now, there hasn’t been all that much on the menu for folks who enjoy the romance of an 18th-century costume drama that boasts a fat art direction budget, but who also want it to pack a satisfying charge of sociopolitical critique of those benighted times. The British film Belle, released last year and directed by Amma Asante, takes us at least some of the way toward filling that gap. Belle belongs to that ever-growing category of movies that are “inspired by� historical events, rather than “based on� them. Where needed for dramatic effect, it plays fast and loose with the facts, speculates freely where the facts are not recorded, telescopes events and merges characters. So, considering that the context of the narrative is a 1783 English legal case, Gregson v. Gilbert, that is regarded as a significant step

toward the abolition of slavery, sticklers for factual detail will find much to quibble about in Belle’s version of the story. For the average moviegoer, it’s just an enjoyable and thought-provoking tale of a mixedrace woman growing up in an unusual position of privilege as a ward of the chief justice who ruled on the case: William Murray, the First Earl of Mansfield (Tom Wilkinson). The luminously beautiful English/ South African actress Gugu Mbatha-Raw delivers a compelling performance in the title role of Dido Elizabeth Belle, born out of wedlock to an African slave mother and later legitimized by her natural father, the British admiral Sir John Lindsay. After her mother’s death the young Dido is sent to be fostered by Lindsay’s uncle, Lord Mansfield, and his wife (Emily Watson), as a companion to another great-niece living with them, Lady Elizabeth Murray (Sarah Gadon). Misan Sagay and Amma Assante’s screenplay has the two girls grow closer than sisters, drawing on the spirit of an extant 1779 painting of them together. Very unusually, as the movie reminds us in shot after shot of other portraits from that era that show black retainers gazing up humbly and adoringly at their white masters, they are depicted frolicking together on equal footing. But as any heroine of a Jane Austen novel could tell you, being treated like siblings in a household does not guarantee comparable likelihood of success in the minefields of contracting an advantageous marriage and subsequent income. To make the social conundrums a bit more interestingly convoluted here, the screenwriters concoct a topsy-turvy relationship: While Dido is forbidden by social protocol to dine with the family when they have guests, on account of her dark skin and the dicey circumstances of birth (historically true), she is financially secure due to a substantial income bestowed by her late father (historically inaccurate, but let’s run with it), while cousin Elizabeth has been entirely cut out of her father’s will due to the connivances of his second wife. So Lady Elizabeth has only an aristocratic name to offer a socially suitable husband, while Dido could buy herself a match – but the only obvious applicants are penniless ones who are willing to overlook her “mulatto� status in favor of her dowry. So a large part of the plot of this movie revolves around the usual period-drama matchmaking machinations, with a racial twist that allows for some wry humor as snobbish aristocrats try to plaster over their blatant prejudices with phony smiles and courteous mannerisms. Miranda Richardson sneers magisterially as Lady Ashford, the least apologetic of the bigots, and Tom Felton reprises his Mudbloodhating Draco Malfoy routine from the Harry Potter movies as her elder son James, who courts Lady Elizabeth only to drop her like a hot potato the instant the truth of her financial condition is revealed. James Norton plays his younger brother Oliver Ashford, a well-meaning twit whose marriage proposal to Dido includes his willingness to overlook her unfortunate maternal bloodline. Bad move, dude. Whilst all this mannerly meat-

Gugu Mbatha-Raw in Belle

marketing is going on, the sharply intelligent, highly articulate and talented Dido is increasingly drawn to a man well below her social station: the son of a lowly vicar who aspires to change the world through a career in law, and who is gradually opening her sheltered eyes to the plight of black people under English rule. It helps that Sam Reid as John Davinier is implausibly handsome and almost absurdly passionate about matters like abolition, but Lord Mansfield – who, though he dotes on his adopted greatniece, is a stickler for the certainties of strict rules and proper form – will have none of it. He takes on Davinier briefly as a legal assistant until they have a row over the Gregson v. Gilbert case, and the unsuitable young suitor is banished from the household. Gregson v. Gilbert was an appeal of a decision in favor of an English shipping firm whose employees had infamously tossed 142 enslaved Africans overboard during the Middle Passage, allegedly because they were running out of water and could only save about half the Zong’s human “cargo.� The company that had insured said “cargo� refused to pay, alleging that the crew was at fault for failing to stop at islands along the way to replenish their water stores. Historically, Lord Mansfield was inclined to decide the case of the Zong Massacre solely on the basis of the principle of “general average� – meaning that shippers could legally destroy part of their cargo in order to save the rest and still claim insurance reimbursement – until new evidence was introduced indicating that ample rainfall had refilled

the ship’s water supplies. But in a 1772 ruling known as Somersett’s Case, he had delivered a landmark decision baldly stating that the institution of slavery had no basis in English law, and the screenplay delivers a convenient mashup of the two cases for drama’s sake. Wilkinson is wonderful in his portrayal of a man struggling to align his well-bred devotion to doing the proper thing with his deeper instinct to do the right thing. In fact, most of the top-shelf cast delivers with requisite British professionalism throughout. Emily Watson’s moment to shine as Lady Mansfield ever-so-gently chides her recalcitrant husband comes quite late in the film, but is particularly well-worth the wait. And Mbatha-Raw is a real find. Belle is superbly written, with a keen ear for the excruciatingly correct dialogue required amongst the English upper crust, even if the turns of plot are a tad bit predictable. It’s beautifully shot, exquisitely lit and decorated with all the attention to detail of costumes, props and dÊcor that an Austen geek might wish. It even has a romance sweet enough to quicken the pulses of fans of that genre, without sacrificing its biting social points in favor of happy domesticity. Women of her time, Dido notes in observing her foster-sister’s predicament, are slaves to men, no matter what color their mothers were. – Frances Marion Platt

he comedian Paula Poundstone, who performs at the Bardavon in Poughkeepsie on Saturday, June 14, first started hitting it big more than a quarter-century ago – but has really worked her way into people’s minds and the way that we think about current affairs since becoming a regular on NPR’s Wait, Wait…Don’t Tell Me. She is known as a fast-thinking and quick-tongued self-deprecator with a means of cutting to the core about the insanities of our everyday and political worlds. “My shows, when they’re good – and I like to think they often are – are like a cocktail party,” she says of her laid-back style of improvisation. “When you first get there, you talk about how badly you got lost and how hard it was to find parking. Then you tell a story about your kids or what you just saw on the news. You meet some new people and ask them about themselves. Then, someone says, ‘Tell that story you used to tell,’ and then someone on the other side of the room spills a drink, and you mock them. No one ever applauds me when I leave a party, though. I think they high-five.” Poundstone is known for her observational humor: She’s quick and tart with comments about what’s happening, or conversations and actions started by others. She has long been a favorite latenight guest, is a frequent guest star on television sitcoms, one of the initiators of the “backstage report” style of reportage from showbiz events (including big party nominating conventions) and is in there on all the big lists of top stand-up talents. Not only does she gets folks laughing about what’s harsh and strange about modern life and politics, but she’s also honest about how her own life is at times detoured, and just what it takes to use humor simply to get on with the art of living. She’s one of the greats –

and should have fun with the very idea of Poughkeepsie, and maybe even the Bardavon’s legacy, if anyone lets on about that fabled singer who tends to rehearse there with regularity.

Rhinebeck National Motorcycle Meet & Machinery Show at Dutchess Fairgrounds

Ron Marquette, who died early in 2013, was renowned in Ulster County for his many years of work in support of the arts, especially theater. His vision of what could be achieved with a crumbling, once-ornate movie palace on Broadway in Kingston is credited by many for the rescue and rehabilitation of what is now the Ulster Performing Arts Center, where he went on to serve as executive director. Before that, Marquette (pictured above) played a similar role in preserving Ellenville’s vaudeville-era Shadowland Theatre, and he was the artistic director of that institution for many years. For the last seven years of his life, he was a community relations officer at SUNY-Ulster in Stone Ridge. Less familiar to most of us is Marquette’s body of work as a playwright. A Day in Court, formerly titled Larry Parks’ Day in Court, tells the story of the testimony by Parks – the actor who played the lead role in The Jolson Story – before the House Un-American Activities Committee. The McCarthy Era drama will be performed by SUNY-Ulster’s Theatre Department this weekend, in tribute to the school’s former administrator and as a fundraiser for the Writers’ Scholarship established there in his name. A Day in Court will be performed in the Quimby Theater on the Stone Ridge campus of SUNY-Ulster this Friday and Saturday, June 13 and 14. Curtain time is 7 p.m., and a dessert reception will follow the opening-night performance. Admission is by a suggested donation of $10.

Sturgeon don’t start breeding until they are 30 years old, and they need large areas of river to move around in. To a SCUBA diver, the resting sturgeon resemble a bunch of logs, which suddenly – and scarily – come to life.

The big one that almost got away Lecture on sturgeon restoration project at Beacon Institute

T

he lake sturgeon is an awesome fish: It grows to be 12 or 13 feet long and lives for 120 years or longer. One of the world’s most primitive fish, it’s known as a living dinosaur. When the native Haudenosaunee, who fished the lake sturgeon from the St. Lawrence River, its tributaries and the Great Lakes for thousands of years, wanted to describe the fish, they talked about how fishermen paddling their canoes would look over the side of their boat and see one big eye. Today, the lake sturgeon are declining, due to the cumulative effect of dams, pollution from heavy industry and zebra mussels and other invasive species. But a unique project that’s bringing together the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe – based at the Akwesasne reservation, which straddles the border between New York and Canada – and a research team with state-of-theart river sensor technology from the Beacon Institute is attempting to save the endangered fish. While Native American tradition and scientific know-how are usually thought of as diametrically opposed, the project is demonstrating that both types of knowledge are actually complementary and can be very effective

Philip’s Church in Garrison. Bonner, a nationally recognized expert in real-time water-monitoring technologies, who is also based at Clarkson University, is leading the development and implementation of the River and Estuary Observatory Network, or REON, which is being used to provide a better understanding of river and estuary ecosystems with real-time data. When the British built the first dams in the St. Lawrence watershed in the late 1700s to better navigate and move logs along the waterways, it established an unfortunate pattern. So it’s ironic, and rather wonderful, that technology is now being used to help restore the habitat. An array of chemical and biological sensors “allow us to chart the environment with more temporal and spatial resolution than ever before,” Bonner said, noting that previously the adverse effect of turbidity on contaminated river sediments could only be measured in the lab, which could not precisely mimic the on-site effects. Today, the technology enables scientists to characterize and measure hydrodynamics in real time. Bonner is using the tools to describe and assess sturgeon habitat, such as the spawning grounds near a dam in the Grasse River. “The sturgeon spawn there quite well. We need to carefully characterize the physical conditions, hydrology and sediments, so that we can mimic those conditions at another site,” and hence expand the spawning habitat, Bonner said. He noted that “a lot of physical attributes have to be aligned well” for the sturgeon to lay their eggs: a calm expanse of river, where the sturgeon congregate, downstream from an area of rapids with a rocky bottom, where they deposit their eggs, which catch in the crevices. Knowing where the sturgeon go in the first place and how they behave is obviously necessary before the tracking system can be put into place, and that’s where Lickers comes in. “Native people who’ve lived in the Great Lakes knew the sturgeon very well and have a vast knowledge of their life cycle, what they eat and the type of habitat they prefer,” Lickers said, noting that he works closely with fishermen at Akwesasne. The fishermen also know “what size and type of sturgeon can be found in a certain area”: knowledge that is being shared with the scientists. He said that the community is also helping clean up spawning grounds that have been coated with zebra mussels, as well as help to identify and create new spawning areas. While local people still fish for sturgeon, they don’t eat them due to contamination. Some individuals have been transporting the fish physically around one particularly damaging dam so they can still travel to their spawning grounds, he said. The fish, which don’t start breeding until they are 30 years old, need large areas of river to move around in. They also need deep holes, where they “just rest because it’s nice and cool.” Lickers said that, to a SCUBA diver, the resting sturgeon resemble a bunch of logs, which suddenly – and scarily – come to life. The holes are called “loafing holes.” He added that one of the most remarkable features of the fish is the “sturgeon dance”: breaches and huge splashes made by the fish on a stormy night with snatches of brilliant moonlight. “People who don’t know the fish claim they’ve seen beluga whales,” he said. Smoked sturgeon was considered a delicacy by the Native Americans, who used other components of the fish for medicine. The native cultures also informally set quotas on the fish, with just one or two fisherman from each village

June 12, 2014 allowed to catch them. Plus, “When you got a fish 12 feet long, it doesn’t take too many to fulfill the needs of the people,” Lickers said. The creation of the St. Lawrence Seaway in 1956 and the heavy industry that followed, which wiped out native hunting and fishing traditions, had a devastating impact on the wildlife. When Lickers, a Seneca who grew up on the Grand River in Ontario, came to Akwesasne in 1976, the ospreys and eagles were gone and the cormorants had crossed bills: a mutation caused by the chemicals that caused the birds to starve. A turtle caught in the area “was considered toxic waste, and you’d have to bury it in a toxic waste dump,” the biologist recalled. T he le vel of contamination started to decrease after the passage of the Clean Water Act and the industrial plants became subject to tougher environmental regulations. Recently, a large pulp and paper plant closed, so there’s less industry now. Plus, “You have an informed public,” he said. In fact, the area is unusual for the amount of environmental oversight, which includes not just the environmental agencies in Canada and the US, but also two environmental groups representing the tribe: the US Tribal Council, which receives funding from the US government to implement the environmental regulations that it requires of reservations, and on the Canadian side, the St. Regis Tribal Council, Lickers’ employer. The two organizations are coordinated by a third tribal environmental group, and all three partner with universities and environmental not-for-profits such as the

Beacon Institute. “You have a ready-made group of scientists among the people in the area,” he said. “If you call a meeting on sturgeon, you may have 40 people attend, with just one representative from each jurisdiction.” But it’s not just this concentration of scientific expertise that’s effective; it’s also the sacred traditions, the stories and legends that bring the fish alive and create a human connection. “When I talk about the sturgeon as an Iroquois, I’m not only talking about the physical manifestation and biology, but also the spiritual connection,” said Lickers. For him, biology itself is a connection with the old ways. “My Granddad was a millwright, and when he asked me what I wanted to do, I said, ‘I like to hunt and fish and trap,’” he recalled. “I’ve found a job that lets me do that – only it’s called scientific sampling.” At the Beacon Institute, Lickers will be talking about the importance of the fish to the people of Akwesasne, “maybe telling a couple of stories. Scientists reiterate the themes of mortality and longevity and morbidity, but when you talk about a fish so big you can only see one eye, people say, ‘Wow, that’s a big fish,’” Lickers said. “The science gives you the dance of numbers, while the stories and songs my people lived give you the spirit of the animal and how it lives. By bringing both together, you generate enthusiasm, and there’s no problem you can’t solve.” – Lynn Woods

“Native people who’ve lived in the Great Lakes knew the sturgeon very well and have a vast knowledge of their life cycle, what they eat and the type of habitat they prefer”

The view from Olana

Are the restorations done? With a property of this size, there will always be a need for continual restoration, but I would say that the house itself is about as intact as it has ever been, with a $1.5 million roof that just went on last year. That was the capping of a good ten-to-15 year project to restore every aspect of the house inside, as well as the exterior. We have improved a number of the outbuildings and built the Wagon House Education Center. Now we’re looking at focusing on the landscape. It’s about 50 percent restored, so we still have a ways to go.

Sara Johns Griffen to receive Frederic E. Church Award

What types of projects are in the works for the landscape? The farm is really the last piece to get restored. We did a comprehensive plan in 2002, but we didn’t really focus on the farm at that time, or have any grand ideas of what we would do with that very significant portion of the property. In the last ten years, of course, there’s been this explosion of interest in farming in the Hudson Valley, so now we’re completely reconsidering that. We’re looking at possibly having a farmer, an educator farmer, come and recreate a number of the orchards that were here, and have that as part of our educational programming. The fact that we’re an educational facility allows us to share what we know of and continue to learn about 19th-century farming practices, and so much of this area is still being farmed; we want to work with our neighboring farms and we cherish those relationships. We’re just beginning to think about how to restore the orchards and interpret them when they’ve been restored. It’s a case of “stay tuned� for lots more that is going to happen.

he Hudson River School painter Frederic Edwin Church (1826-1900) designed Olana in Hudson as his family home, studio and a working farm. The unique integration of art, architecture and landscape at the site is at the heart of why the picturesque Persian-inspired house full of treasures and its grounds that incorporate panoramic views of the Hudson Valley are considered so important to preserve. And while it’s easy to think of our great historic sites as “done deals� – after all, didn’t everything of note that happened there take place long ago? – behind the scenes of every historic Hudson Valley estate like Olana are organizations that support the preservation of the sites and maintain their historic significance, but also work actively to make them relevant to the 21st-century visitor. Take the Olana Partnership, for example. When its president and CEO Sara Johns Griffen first became involved with the organization as a board member 25 years ago, the Partnership was a modest “Friends of Olana� grassroots effort. Since then, under her leadership, it has partnered with New York State and grown its operating budget tenfold, raising more than $18 million in grants and donations for capital projects. The organization took on a major restoration of the main house and landscape at Olana, along with protection of its viewshed and construction of the Wagon House Education Center – all while continuing to grow and search for ways to offer the public a fresh take on an important part of American history. Griffen will be one of the honorees at the Frederic E. Church Award Gala in New York City on June 19 at the New York

of Olana have you seen over the 25 years you’ve been with the Partnership? There has been a significant increase in the pure recognition of Olana during this period. I think it had been very much a well-kept secret to almost all but a few of the most knowledgeable people involved in the arts; but greater recognition now by a very diverse group of people is reflected in visitation, which now heads up toward 150,000 people a year from all over the world. The fact that we have been able to restore the site to the degree that we have is a huge achievement and makes it that much richer an experience for our visitors.

When you speak of the farm, are we talking about a working farm? Yes, Frederic Church did actually grow things and farm the land at Olana – I think it was approximately 60 of the 250 acres that were devoted to farming. It was an operating farm, and he was pleased when it made money; he was very invested in his farming practices. There were orchards, with apples, peaches and plums, and a one-acre vegetable garden he maintained. In fact, until he built the main house, Church called Olana “the farm.� He even signed his letters “from the farm...� There were grazing fields, a dairy barn, chickens and cattle for meat. That’s why it’s a very unique confluence at Olana: It’s so rare to have a place where you can merge art, history, architecture, farming and education. Have the types of educational programs you offer at Olana changed over the years? There are new aspects of Olana, always, to interpret and reinterpret. We try to evolve the programming to reflect what it is that people are the most excited about. And we are always trying to come up with programs that will get people out into the landscape. We have five miles of carriage roads throughout the property that were designed by Church – as was every square inch of this landscape – designed to open up new views and have the visitor traipse through any number of different environments: woodlands, meadows, deep forest, open parkland...He was always intending you to see new glimpses or a different view at different times. We try to have activities that allow you to see Olana as Church wanted you to see it.


What do you do to keep things fresh and relevant for the visitors? We keep finding new things to discover that will resonate with people. One of the key themes we are developing is the critical influence that Frederic Church, Thomas Cole and other Hudson River School painters had on the beginnings of the environmental conservation movement. Church was credited early on by Frederick Olmsted in sounding the alarm about the degradation of Niagara Falls, which was getting very developed. Church called this an abomination, and said that it needed to be preserved; and Olmsted, who ended up leading the movement that made Niagara Falls the first state park in the country, later credited Church with opening his eyes. Thomas Cole was writing about how the forests were being denuded, and how important it was to keep the beauty of the wilderness of the American landscape. That is what these paintings were all about: They were opening America’s eyes to the beauty of its own wilderness, and by doing that, they were saying we need to preserve that natural beauty. So we’re making more and more connections at Olana between the role that Church and Cole had early on and looking at the continuity of it. There has been a progression all these years at different times, like when a nuclear plant was being planned in 1979 across from Olana and its plume would have obscured the Catskills. One of Church’s paintings was used in the proceedings; and through that and other measures, the proposal was defeated and withdrawn. There is a continuum of focus on environmental issues, and we can look at places like Olana as emblematic of the beginnings of that movement. How has the Partnership protected Olana’s viewshed? What exactly does that involve? We have a number of organizations we work with, including Scenic Hudson, the Open Space Institute and the Columbia Land Conservancy. With them, and with the state, we’ve been able to protect the outright purchase of land within our viewshed, the most vulnerable areas, or have conservation easements put on the land so that it will be forever protected. We have a long history of legal involvement, dealing with major potential viewshed intrusions including the St. Lawrence Cement plant, as well as the Athens generating plant on the other side of the river. It’s a continual process...but we are steadfast in trying to work with our neighbors. The viewshed is an integral part of what makes Olana this tremendously successful economic engine for the region.

eric Church and Lockwood de Forest: Painting, Decorating and Collecting at Olana,â€? is something new and daring of us. One of the most significant developments here has been the creation of a gallery on the second floor of the main house that brings a range of people who come year after year to see what exhibits we’re doing. This is the fifth year, and for the most part, we’ve focused on Frederic Church’s artwork as the core component of our exhibits. Now for the first time we’re focusing on the relationship between Church and one of his protĂŠgĂŠs, Lockwood de Forest. [De Forest traveled to India in the 1880s to start a decorating business providing beautiful Indian and Kashmiri decorative objects to an American audience, and provided Church with carved teak for fireplace mantels, painted furniture from Kashmir, engraved brass trays and a number of other lavishly decorative Indian objects.] The house is full of decorative arts from all over the world, which are in many cases significant. We haven’t focused on those as much, and we feel they are worthy of greater exploration. Another initiative that we’re excited about is our ever-growing integration with the contemporary art scene. We have a number of artists who come to paint at Olana, and we’ve developed wonderful relationships with them. We’re planning a very exciting exhibit for next year with some very significant artists, who will have their works both on the landscape and in the houses of both Olana and the Thomas Cole house. We make that effort as well: to bring contemporary art into what otherwise might be thought of as a relatively staid historic site. The Olana State Historic Site is located at 5720 Route 9G in Hudson. There are guided tours of “All the Rajâ€? beginning at 12:15 p.m. on Saturdays through November.

According to the second annual Ulster County Executive’s Arts Awards being handed out in a special Arts Mid-Hudson event at the Saugerties Performing Arts Factory this Wednesday evening, June 18, it has to do with a mixture of professionalism in presentation and artistic prowess, perseverance and consisten-

cy, healthy amounts of business acumen and entrepreneurship and the sort of straight-ahead sense of proud determination with which we look to the best of artists to show us all how to live our own lives. “In Ulster County, we are fortunate to have so many wonderful artists right here in our community,� said county executive Mike Hein on the eve of the awards ceremony this week. “That means worldclass art galleries, fairs, festivals and tours that showcase the talents of artists, artisans and craftspeople right here in our own backyard. I am pleased to recognize some of the amazing individuals and arts

Bianca Tanis photo exhibition opens this Saturday in Kingston Recent years have seen photo essays depicting people with all their stuff outside their homes, what they eat in a day laid out before them, inner dreams and the like. The New Paltzbased photographer Bianca Tanis, who has a new show at Kingston’s Uptown-based Anvil Gallery opening this Saturday, June 14, started off shooting people and places, but by working with various human frailties and challenges in her non-arts life, has shifted focus beautifully in the last year. Her new exhibit, “Nothing Lasts Forever,” centers on the fleeting and bittersweet ways in which humanity tries to create permanence in a shifting world: “the desire for that which we cherish to remain intact and unscathed.” “Inevitably, nature and time humble these endeavors, dashing all hopes for stability,” Tanis writes. “What results is a bittersweet reminder to savor the moment, to find beauty in the cracks and changes that emerge from time well-spent in existence and to find comfort in small moments of imperfect perfection.” I see flowers amidst pavement cracks, bits of nature intruding, peeling walls with embellishments and an overall sense of beauty’s ineffable yearning everywhere. It’s powerful stuff. – Paul Smart “Nothing Lasts Forever: Photographs by Bianca Tanis” opening reception, Saturday, June 14, 6 p.m., Anvil Gallery @ Tech Smiths, 145 North Front Street, Kingston; (845) 443-4866, www.techsmiths.com.

Art Omi reopens this weekend Want to see some real engagement with modern art? Head to the Fields at Art Omi up in Columbia County, which kicks off its latest season this weekend. The place is a beautiful mix of fields and forest, pondside and distant views and plenty of contemporary sculpture, both representational and challenging. Sure, some can note how the new just isn’t their cup of tea; but set the kids loose on huge yellow metal frameworks, crawling into half-underground sculptures or chasing over hill and dale to the next ones, and they’ll engage – as will their grandparents (as we have found), who can take golf carts should they wish, or pick up a picnic at the venue’s beautifully designed and totally green Visitors’ Center. Even the ride up to the Fields at Art Omi, located in Ghent between Hudson, Chatham and Kinderhook (near the Blue Barn, several wineries, distilleries and plenty of orchards and pick-your-own farms), is a treat. The art is by established

The opening weekend kicks off with a cocktail party and exhibition preview starting at 5:30 p.m. on Friday, June 13. Then there will be a bigger, family-oriented opening event with kids’ activities, hayrides around the Fields, refreshments and a durational performance by robbinschilds from 1 to 5 p.m. on Saturday, June 14, at which time new works will be celebrated, artists will hobnob, local foods will be nibbled and Stephen Westfall will speak about his newly installed gallery show “Oracle.” Afterwards, the place is open daily for visiting, with hours listed online for the Visitors’ Center. – Paul Smart

Street in Woodstock will host “Saving the Future by Restoring the Past: The WPA and the Federal Arts Project,” a lecture by Mark Lytle, professor of Historical Studies at Bard College, on Saturday, June 14 at 2:30 p.m. In his talk, Lytle will address the nostalgia for an agrarian past linked to New Deal innovations in government and the role of European refugees in the emergence of the US as a world center for the arts and science. The lecture is presented in conjunction with the exhibition “Rediscovering Wendell Jones.” The cost is $12 general admission, $7 for WAAM members.

“Fashion and Fashion Plates” exhibition at Vassar this weekend An exhibit of historic clothing will be on view at Vassar College in “Fashion and Fashion Plates: An Exhibition of Selected Garments dating from 1836 to 1956.” One dozen historic garments will be accompanied by copies of 19thand 20 th-century fashion plates from the individual time periods, including images from Lady’s Magazine, The Delineator and Costumes Parisiens. The garments displayed will cover a span of more than 100 years. The items from the collection of Vassar College will be displayed in the Faculty Commons of Main Building on Thursday, June 12 from 1 to 4 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, June 13 and 14 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.; and Sunday, June 15 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The show is free and open to the public. The Vassar College Costume Collection features more than 500 pieces of clothing from the mid-19th century to the present. The mission of the collection is to provide physical artifacts to support the study of the history of fashion design and to preserve the history of the college. Each object in the collection serves as an example of fashion’s norms or innovations that developed throughout history, and yet also represents Vassar’s past, the history of women’s education and the history of the Hudson Valley. Vassar College is located at 124 Raymond Avenue in Poughkeepsie. For more information, call (845) 437-5370 or visit www.vassar.edu.

An opening reception for the exhibit “Rediscovering Wendell Jones” will be held on Saturday, June 14 from 4 to 6 p.m. at the Woodstock Artists Association & Museum (WAAM), at 28 Tinker Street in Woodstock. A prominent figure in the Woodstock art colony in the 1930s, ’40s and ’50s, painter Wendell Jones had a brief-butaccomplished career, cut short by his untimely death at age 56. In barely three decades, Jones produced an impressive number of paintings, drawings and photographs, as well as four mural commissions for the New Deal’s Section of Fine Arts. The exhibition is the first museum retrospective of the artist’s work since 1958, and is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue with an extensive chronology of the artist’s life. The exhibit will remain on view through October 5. Gallery hours are Friday and Saturday from 12 noon to 6 p.m. and Sunday, Monday and Thursday from 12 noon to 5 p.m. For more information, call (845) 679-2940 or visit www. woodstockart.org.

Turn over a new leaf Stone Ridge Library Fair returns this Saturday

T

he annual Stone Ridge Library Fair is such a popular community event each year, says Jody Ford, the library’s director, that people have told her that they make a point of blocking the second Saturday in June out on their calendars in anticipation of it. Even rainy weather doesn’t put a damper on things, she says, with one of their busiest fairs ever having taken place on a day when it poured. So whatever the weather brings, this year’s event will be held on Saturday, June 14 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the library lawn.

The free event, open to all, will have live music, children’s activities and plenty of food prepared by volunteers, who will offer sausage and peppers, grilled hot dogs and hamburgers, vegetarian entrees and lots of summertime lemonade, cotton candy, popcorn, ice cream and homemade strawberry shortcake. Among the biggest attractions at the fair, Ford says, are the Giant Book Sale and the plant tent full of annuals, perennials and vegetable seedlings donated by local nurseries and residents, who contribute clippings and small plants from their own gardens. And the starring attraction in the plant tent is the daylily booth, organized by library trustee Rosemary Deen, who contributes bulbs from some 50 varieties of lily, for which people come year after year, according to Ford. “Rosemary is very knowledgeable about them, and each bulb is clearly marked and labeled with its name. Once people buy the lilies at the fair, they come the next year looking for another type.” The book sale features donations from local residents collected year-round. “Our book barns are stuffed full right now,” Ford says, “so we have a lot to bring out. The books are clean and well-organized, and I think people will be very happy with what they see.” Traditionally the Library has done a two-day book sale with a bag sale on Sunday; but, the director notes, since the Sunday following the fair is Fathers’ Day, the book sale will be a one-day event this year, on Saturday only. The library will have a bag sale of books later in the year, Ford promises – in October. Prices for the books range from $1 to $2, with some special selections priced from $3 to $5. In addition to plants and books, a variety of donated jewelry, pottery, glassware, china and other small treasures will be available for purchase at bargain prices at “Eleanor’s Emporium,” named after a longtime library volunteer. And the Saturday Knitters, a group of 15 to 20 knitters who meet regularly at the library every Saturday, will have handcrafted items suitable for gift-giving that they created for the fair, using yarn donated by the community. All the proceeds from the fair go to the

HISTORY

JULIA’S BACK PAGES A unique glimpse into the everyday life of a 19th-century woman The Stone Ridge Library has a storied history (no pun intended) that began when Julia Hasbrouck Dwight presented her childhood home to the community in 1909 to be used as a library. She had grown up in the circa-1798 house with her parents, Garret Decker Hasbrouck and Julia Lawrence Hasbrouck, who had purchased the house from Garret’s brother Cornelius Hasbrouck in 1861. The elder Julia (pictured to the left) kept diaries: detailed accounts of nearly four decades of her life, both in Stone Ridge and at the couple’s New York City residence. She chronicled her role and responsibilities as a 19th-century woman in meticulously written entries dating from 1838 to 1873, revealing a unique glimpse into the everyday life of an ordinary woman. I spend two hours on this very commonplace book; it is almost a disgrace to my pen & powers. Could I write with regularity, and some of my inward life, and less of other people’s actions, it would be far more profitable and entertaining. If my pen & ink were better, I think it possible I might be inspired, but poor paper, and stubborn steel pens are the grave of intellectual feasts. My next book of events if spared to relate them; shall be carefully written for my daughter’s profit when I am gone, she shall then see a picture of the inner life, the thoughts that daily pass through the mind of a dreamer. – Julia Lawrence Hasbrouck The diaries fill 17 journals, which today, along with daguerreotypes, portraits, school composition books, pianoforte music and two diaries kept by the younger Julia, form the Julia Lawrence Hasbrouck Collection at the Stone Ridge Library. Local historian Susan Stessin-Cohen maintains the library’s “Julia blog,” in which diary entries written by the elder Julia are posted on the library’s website on the same date – nearly 200 years later than they were written – giving a sort of “real-time” feeling to reading the entries. Julia’s home remains in use today as part of the library complex, with two original fireplaces intact, as well as hardware and woodwork that date to the house’s construction. The main entrance today is through a wood-and-glass addition that joins Julia’s house to the circa-early-1800s Wood/Elmendorf house that the library bought in 1978. The buildings are now about midway through a major renovation project, says Jody Ford, the library’s director. “We’ve raised our first $300,00, and are now embarking on raising the next $300,000. The first brace [holding up the building] is down, and it’s our goal to get the second brace down this summer.” The brace holding up the stone wall has been up for ten years, she says. “Right now they’re placing steel rods in the building to tie it together. The next step is to take the top stones off the triangle at the top of the north building and replace that with wood to alleviate some of the weight on the building’s foundation.” As that happens, the very large brace will eventually come down and the building will stand on its own again. The library’s operators are raising money on a “payas-you-go” basis, completing the project as they’re able. The Julia blog may be accessed at www.frommypenandpower.wordpress.com or through the library’s home page at www.stoneridgelibrary.org. – Sharyn Flanagan

Stone Ridge Library’s operating budget for the year. But to aid the library with its extensive ongoing building restoration project, there will be something new added to the fair this year: a silent art auction. All the proceeds from the auction will be directed toward the necessary construction work on the historic library buildings. According to Priscilla Derven, Library Foundation Board member, there will be approximately 30 to 35 works of art donated by local artists or art collectors. The selection will include drawings, pastels, paintings and prints, along with

possibly a sculpture or two and artisan works. Bidding will begin at 10 a.m. and

After 20 years as library director, Ford says, she has enjoyed seeing the generational changeover at the fair as the longtime volunteers welcome the new recruits and kids who first visited the library as four-year-olds with their parents come back as Honor Society students to help out – and, if they stay in the community after graduating, take over booths at the fair. “It’s like a dance, this choreography.

Last week, I checked it out for myself, and now I hope that everyone goes! The Orange County Choppers (OCC) building includes a café, a four-lane, regulation-sized bowling alley and a large retail area that features a number of custom-themed bikes, including the FDNY and POWMIA designs, as seen on the show. Some of them have signs that point out the more intricate and symbolic details on the bikes, such as a bolt from 9/11 that adorns the gas tank on the FDNY bike, or the barbedwire spokes on the POW-MIA chopper.

The café includes a children’s “MiniBikers’ Menu” with activities on the back, complete with a coloring sketch of “Senior.” And the apple pie that they serve is his wife’s own recipe. The bowling alley is open every day during regular café hours, is completely modern and can even be programmed to deploy bumpers for specific players. OCC would love to see leagues come play there. In the meantime, it makes for a terrific family outing for children (and adults!) who enjoy bowling, families looking for a casual eatery with friendly staff, folks interested in choppers or simply US history and culture or a combination of all of the above. Oh, and they have a parts and service department for choppers and motorcycles, too. Let me know what you think! Orange County Choppers is located at 14 Crossroads Court in Newburgh.

Strawberryfests in Hopewell Junction and Beacon Strawberries! For newbies, that translates to mean, “It’s that time of year when the Hudson Valley celebrates the end of spring and the beginning of summer with the arrival of strawberries!” Here are two festivals to check out this weekend:

Sunday Strawberries! On Sunday, June 15 from 12 noon to 5 p.m., head over to Beacon Riverfront Park for the annual Beacon Sloop Club Strawberry Festival. Here’s why: free admission, plus homemade strawberry shortcake with real whipped cream (which my friend who attends every year strongly emphasized in her recommendation for families to attend). Strawberry smoothies and chocolate-dipped strawberries will be available as well. Live music will be heard all day. But the biggest family draw, in my opinion, is the children’s entertainment. Check out this fantastic lineup: the wonderful and captivating Jonathan Kruk and his Hudson River Lore; the engaging and enormously talented Bindlestick Bill; and excellent performances by Sarah Underhill, Lydia Adams Davis and the Young Kangaroo Republic. Children’s activities include facepainting, candlestick-making and hooping. Families can take deck tours on the Clearwater sloop, too. This is a great way to bring in summer and celebrate the richness of the Hudson Valley. Beacon Riverfront Park is located off Red Flynn Drive in Beacon, near the train station. For more information, call (845) 463-4660 or visit http://beaconsloopclub. org.

Feet on the ground, imaginations in the air It is said that families give our children roots to feel a sense of shared history and belonging, and wings so that they can soar as their highest selves in the world. This weekend, an outing to these two local airports can provide a sense of both! On Saturday, June 14, the Dutchess County Airport holds its third annual Open House from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. (verify hours before heading out). Admission is free, and activities available include a Wings and Wheels car and bike show, aircraft displays, antique firetrucks, facepainting, a bounce house, a kids’ crafting workshop and more. And remember to bring a nonperishable food item, which will be donated to Castle Point veterans. The Dutchess County Airport is located at 263 New Hackensack Road in Wappingers Falls. For more information, call (845) 463-6000 or visit http:// dutchessny.gov. On Saturday and Sunday, June 14 and 15, Cole Palen’s Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome presents its Air Show Season Opening Weekend and Fathers’ Day Special: $85 for a ride and admission for fathers! This living museum features air shows, aircraft displays and early engine memorabilia from 1900 to 1939. When he was younger, my son always did better with ear protection at shows like this with a wide volume range, and they’re fun for all ages to watch. Air shows take place only on weekends.

Renegades launch home season at Dutchess Stadium As regular readers know, I love attending ball games of our local minor league team: the Hudson Valley Renegades, an affiliate of the Tampa Bay Rays. Ulster Publishing’s Brian Hollander (editor of Woodstock Times) did a great write-up about them in the recent Explore Hudson Valley: Summer Edition. If you’ve come out to cheer them on before, then you know why it’s such fun for families. And if you haven’t checked out this community treasure yet, you’ve got some fresh incentives this week, including being among the first spectators to see Dutchess Stadium’s new sign, as well as the field’s new turf. The first Renegades home game of the season takes place on Friday, June 13 at 7:05 p.m. against the Aberdeen IronBirds, followed by fireworks. At Sunday’s Fathers’ Day game on June 15 at 5:05 p.m., Dads get in free with the purchase of another ticket (use promo FATHER online, or mention it at the ticket office). The first 1,000 fathers receive a complete barbecue set, and the family will enjoy seeing the Renegades’ mascots strolling around as part of Sunday Family Funday. Your kids can attend home games for free on Mondays and Tuesdays if they’re registered with the Be Your Own Fans Junior Kids’ Club, plus they can run the bases after the games; so sign them up on the Renegades’ website, and get your own tickets for the Monday-night game on June 16 at 6:05 p.m. against Aberdeen. Wednesday, June 18 is Scout Night, with special packages for scout troops attending the 6:05 p.m. game against the Brooklyn Cyclones.

Why Did We Choose Woodland Pond? Landscaping. Lifestyle. And Lifecare. We definitely needed to downsize from our house. We chose Woodland Pond because the people are all exceptionally friendly, interesting and engaging. We owned a garden center, so we really appreciate the beautiful landscaping situated throughout the campus. The lifestyle is wonderful. We enjoy swimming and getting together with our neighbors over a game of cards. The food is superb, and one of our favorite meals is the Chateaubriand. Our two-bedroom with den apartment home is lovely, with lots of room for entertaining. It’s also nice to know that Woodland Pond offers the Lifecare guarantee and it has given us both tremendous peace of mind.❞ Woodland Pond is a continuing care retirement community that offers everything you look for now, and a full continuum of care, should it ever become needed.

Free tours at West Point Foundry Preserve in Cold Spring As I learned from the incredible, paradigm-shifting movie Maleficent (which I wish everyone would please go see), iron hurts fairies. Ironworks hold important power to the Moors and King Stefan’s kingdom throughout this fairy-tale movie, but they also played a major role in our own Hudson Valley history, at both the local and national levels. Learn more this Saturday, June 14 at 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. as part of New York State’s Path through History Weekend, when Scenic Hudson offers 90-minute tours of the West Point Foundry Preserve: an “outdoor museum” that examines some of the fascinating history of this ironworks site. The West Point Foundry Preserve is located at 68 Kemble Avenue in Cold Spring. For more information or to reserve your spot on the tour, call (845) 473-4440, extension 273, or visit www.scenichudson. org.

Craft and food vendors round out the mix, and you’ve got a lovely afternoon on the river. The festival runs from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Rhinecliff Landing, located at Dutchess Terrace in Rhinecliff. For more information, visit http://business. rhinebeckchamber.com.

my mix is not much different from salad dressing (except that it would need more oil, some herbs and no detergent). My aim is to spray frequently enough to kill each emerging round of greenery while it’s still drawing on energy reserves, before the leaves start socking away excess energy in roots and stems. Early in the season, weekly sprays are needed; later, every two weeks or so. Because vinegar only kills greenery by direct hit, it is most effective on smaller weeds where there is no “shadow effect.” The vinegar spray’s effectiveness drops at temperatures below 70 degrees Fahrenheit. My farmden necessitates the application of about eight gallons of vinegar mix per session, most easily applied using a backpack sprayer. Mixing up and spraying the mix is no fun, but has become less unenjoyable with my new Jatco sprayer. Anyone who has used a backpack sprayer will appreciate Jatco’s rather unique qualities: a carrying handle, clips for holding the pumping lever and spray wand during storage or carrying, a large mouth for easy filling and cleaning, a mixing paddle that moves with each pump of the handle and the totally internal pump that eliminates that awful sensation of spray material dripping down your lower back (even if it is just vinegar). The sprayer is almost perfect, two very minor shortcomings being the difficult-to-read volume indicator embossed on the tank and the lack of a bottom handle to grab when inverting the sprayer while cleaning it. The best thing about the Jatco sprayer is the good leverage afforded by the way the pump handle is connected to the pump. WWW.N

A narrow yellow strip of vegetation – dead vegetation – sits at the bottom of the rock wall supporting the poppy and snow-in-summer bed (also home to espaliered pears, rugosa rose, alliums and other perennials) and at its upper border with the lawn. I can’t say that I’m proud of the yellowing strips

of lawn and weeds, but the weedkiller that I applied is very effective at keeping errant weeds and grass out of beds, paths, from climbing the rock wall and growing in between bricks of my terrace and away from the bases of young trees. Weedkiller?! Yes, I am spraying weedkiller – but the weedkiller that I’m spraying is very benign. I take straight household vinegar, which is five to six percent acetic acid, and add to it, per gallon, two tablespoons of canola oil and one tablespoon of dish detergent. The detergent and oil help the vinegar spread out on and stick to the leaves. The USDA also has been researching the use of acetic acid as an organic spray to control weeds. It found 20 percent acetic acid to be very effective, which is not surprising. Twenty percent acetic acid, though, is neither very safe to use nor readily available. My vinegar concoction, at five to six percent acetic acid, is, of course, not as effective as the USDA’s 20 percent. Nor is it nearly as effective as the widely used chemical weedkiller Roundup. My mix only kills green leaves; Roundup is translocated throughout a plant to kill roots, stems and leaves. Plants store energy in roots and stems, so can recover from my spray to grow new leaves. Eventually, with repeated spraying, vinegar-sprayed weeds run out of energy and die. Plus,

riental poppies, now in bloom with large, floppy, flaming-red blossoms, are worth oohing and aahing about. Likewise for snow-in-summer (Cerastium tomentosum), with small gray-green leaves and small white flowers, except that too few people know or grow this plant. Here, the two plants look especially congenial together, with snow-in-summer hugging the ground at the feet of the poppies and spilling over the rock wall that supports the bed in which these plants grow. No skill is needed to grow snow-insummer, or to propagate it. Plant it and it will spread, rooting as it creeps – but never with frightening speed. Alas, the show from either plant is all too transient. Poppy foliage is soon to yellow and melt slowly back into the ground. And by the time you read this, blossoms of snow-in-summer will have tapered off and its leaves will have lost their exuberance of spring. The show’s transience makes it all the more appreciated.

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.

real estate

I had a dream last night about my pooch Bandit wanting to buy a house (what else should I dream about?) I told him, “Marking your territory is just the fi rst step; you really have to put a deposit into escrow.” I think it is in the nature of everyone to want to own the walls around them, and it is a safe and secure feeling when you do. In Woodstock, with so many unique personalities, many homes really fi t the character of their owners; we call them “Woodstockie” type homes. One such home is located on lovely Harmati Lane, about 5 minutes out of the village. This ad is all about it.

REAL ESTATE. SERIOUSLY. For over 30 years, Westwood’s single minded commitment to service and cutting edge technologies has benefited savvy buyers and sellers throughout the Mid Hudson Valley. Our singular strategies get RESULTS in any market conditions. With a Westwood professional on your team, you can trust your success to ours. We’re SERIOUS about Real Estate!

WOODSTOCKIE Charming, different, functional, a wonderful location, charming (yes, repeated), with seasonal mountain views, this delightful cedar contemporary is perfect as a full-time or seasonal home. You enter through a small solarium/greenhouse (with solar qualities), into a cozy living room with a wonderful soapstone fireplace/woodstove, a reading nook, lots of windows, laundry area, and a half bath with built-ins.

The tile kitchen is wide open to the large dining area with tall windows that overlook the front yard. It is fit for a gourmet dinner or comfy family breakfast and large enough for an additional sitting area. Up the open center stairs and you enter a large central sitting area/library/study or in-home office, with another woodstove, that separates the two large bedrooms and has access to a full bath. The central room is large enough to run a full-time in home business.

The Master bedroom is large with cathedral ceilings, Palladian windows, open beams and ample closets. It has its own en suite full bath with an exit to the fantastic wrap around deck that could hold a party of a hundred people. The second bedroom has multiple windows and a private exit to the amazing deck. There are stairs leading down from the deck to the front yard and garage, and storage beneath them.

The lovely landscaped grounds have tall trees, flowering bushes, a Koi pond, craftsman built shed, and lots of parking.

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)758-1170. Spots are $12-$35.

Meko; Best w/experienced dog owners. Sweet & will protect you from anything! He’ll be your best buddy. Dutchess; 3-year old Neapolitan Mastiff. She’s very playful w/dogs & would do best in home w/ no children as sometimes she doesn’t know her own strength. Briggs; 2-year old mixed breed who loves to go for runs & gets along great w/dogs & cats. I’d like a home w/adults or older children. NEW! Bilbo; 2-year old male lab mix, separation anxiety, better w/ adults, likes other dogs & has an interest in cats. CATS: Victoria; 8-years young, brown & black tiger. She’s our sassiest cat. Would do best in a home all to herself. She’s spent most of her shelter life in a cage because she isn’t a fan of other cats. Please give her some room to roam. Vindaloo; Long Hair, friendly neutered male tan/black/white. Goosfrahba; Large neutered male; white w/tiger markings & VERY friendly. NEW! Raven; 2-years old, female, all black cat is affectionate, vocal & an absolute pleasure to be around; Hammerjaw; 2-year old gray tiger who was

MORE FROM THE ULSTER COUNTY SPCA; These 5 cats are in special need of loving foster or adoptive homes. Please read their stories to see why. MYSTERY; about 10-years old & a total lap cat. She came to the shelter w/a rash over her whole body. Her skin is beautiful now but she’s still feeling the stress of not being in a home. She eats special food as we think she may have food allergies. Mystery is a petite polydactyl tuxedo so her extra toes can hug you even more. STARFISH; also petite. She has a beautiful gray coat and has golden eyes. Starfish has 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 bullied by the larger cats in the hoarder’s house and suffered skin wounds that are improving but taking quite a long time to heal. She’s about 2-3 years and we think a loving home (foster or adoptive)

would give Starfish the peace she needs to fully recover. She’s such a sweet and friendly kitty. JAMIE; beautiful small gray tabby. He’s about a year old and has been in the shelter for a few months. The shelter is trying different foods to see which ones will work for his delicate stomach. We hope that in a loving home he’ll experience calm and feel better. BELVEDERE has captured everyone’s heart. This 10-11 year old big white cat w/brown markings was left in a carrier on the side of the road.

How he and the others trust another human being is truly remarkable. Please call the Ulster County SPCA at (845)331-5377 extension 218 (Cat Supervisor) to find out more about these lovely cats.
