(Freak) Flag Day returns to Hudson this Saturday with fireworks, an air show, a parade and dance party

M

elissa Auf der Maur and her partner, filmmaker Tony Stone, are co-creative directors of Basilica Hudson, an artist-owned and -operated former 19th-century factory building overlooking the Hudson River in the City of Hudson. On Saturday, June 13, following the city’s annual Flag Day parade and a massive fireworks display in the Basilica’s parking lot, Basilica Hudson will host a benefit dance party with Shannon F of LIGHT ASYLUM and deejay Neon Music.

When the couple took over the building, the City of Hudson was already celebrating its annual Flag Day fireworks display in the factory’s parking lot. “We inherited the biggest show in Hudson,” she laughs, “and we decided to make it our party, with fireworks. We hold eclectic performances in the space, and the music improvisations include the fireworks in the background as lead instrument. We wrap the fireworks into our version of culture.”

The after-dark party kicks off at sundown, when a massive fireworks display in the Basilica’s parking lot illuminates the interior of the raw, 17,000-square-foot industrial space.

Shannon Funchess, founder, frontwoman and producer of the LIGHT ASYLUM, makes music heavily influenced by darkwave, synthpop and post-punk 1980s music: The Guardian compared LIGHT ASYLUM to Nine Inch Nails and Depeche Mode, and it must be noted that Funchess bears a striking resemblance to Grace Jones. LIGHT ASYLUM has released a handful of EPs and albums,

On Saturday, June 13, following the city of Hudson’s annual Flag Day parade, amusements and massive fireworks display in the Basilica Hudson’s parking lot, Basilica Hudson will host a benefit dance party

and Shannon F’s performance at the Basilica marks her first live performance in two years. Festivities will continue into the wee hours with a deejay-fueled New Wave/Industrial/Goth dance party.

“Shannon’s like our official (Freak) Flag totem,” says Auf der Maur. “This is her third year with us, and she’s been a very inspiring addition to our work here.

She’s living a commitment to music, romance and struggle, and is committed to alternative everything. She gets us.”

Earlier in the day, the city’s annual parade down Warren Street culminates in a riverfront festival with an air show, kiddie rides and more amusements to entertain the 10,000 to 12,000 people who gather for fun.

“The Rock Solid Church here in Hudson makes a float for the parade that is easily

their biggest expenditure for the year.

It’s a massive creation with statues of the Founding Fathers. This year, we hosted our first-ever community flagmaking workshops, so people could create flags to represent their individual identity, which may – or may not – be reflected in the Stars and Stripes. A flag is a beautiful canvas, one that’s totally different than making a painting, and you can project your essence onto a flag.” Basilica’s final flagmaking workshop was held on June 9 for preschool children, and Auf der Maur says that it’s sure to become a tradition.

“I was floored when we moved here,” she admits. “After living in New York City and LA, Hudson’s patriotic parade – which is one of the biggest in New York State – was my introduction to Americana. It brings out a crazy cross-section of people,

from firefighters to high school bands to politicians and local people of all kinds.

And the dialogues among gays, freaks and tree-huggers are part of this interchange, too. All of these people – including the progressive/lefty types – have a presence here, are part of the dialogue. And they’re patriotic. They love where they live. Flag Day brings a flavor of [David] Lynchian Americana, if you look at it all with a slightly twisted eye. You can’t help but see the beauty of it. I’m not making fun of it, and there’s an ominous quality about it, too. It’s a beautiful spectacle of performance art.”

Basilica Hudson is open from April through October, and community events include fundraisers, art exhibits, food/film festivals, weekly independent film showings plus concerts, theater

4 productions and the Basilica Farm & Flea on Thanksgiving weekend. With its blank palette of open industrial chic and soaring windows overlooking the Hudson River, Basilica has become a favorite destination for wedding and special-events planners.

“Our first wedding was for a couple whose grandmother was the former secretary for the glue factory, and we’ve held private events for such groups as the Firemen’s League,” says Auf der Maur. “The response to what we’re doing here has been incredibly positive, and now, in our fifth year, I’m proud to say we have ‘no enemies, no conflicts,’” she adds.

Auf der Maur says that she and Stone took on the Basilica “as we would any art project. We had a passion for Hudson and for the building, for art, and we bled ourselves dry until we hit a wall about a year ago,” says the musician. “With a DIY film or album, a project is eventually done; but with an art venue, it’s different. When we began asking people for help, they told us we were functioning as a non-profit organization. We had blind passion but no business plan. So we went to a lot of nonprofit workshops and we learned a lot. It’s been an exciting and vulnerable time,” she says. “We’ve put ourselves on the road to building a healthy, sustainable machine.

This has been a big year for us. It’s been a transition and an intense growth period.

By 2016, we will be our own 501(c) (3).”

“Tony is crazy enough to dream this dream with me,” says Auf der Maur. “He’s very hands-on and is not daunted by the building itself. He, his friends and his father have done all the work on the building, like digging the sewer, out of love for the structure. We’ve put our blood, sweat, tears, love and inspiration into this. Our home overlooks the Basilica and we used to stare down at it from our windows, saying, ‘What is that building? We have to do something with it.’ And the response to what we’re doing has been incredibly positive.”

In addition to the Basilica’s annual (Freak) Flag Party and other regularly occurring events, the couple would like to offer educational lectures about the hidden history of Hudson, and also align with some more traditional arts venues to open up a wider dialogue. “What is it about this location, this region and its longstanding focus on both art and agriculture, that makes this area so magical?” muses Auf der Maur. “There’s a magnetic pull here, and there has been a strong welcome for our explorations of the avant-garde.”

69 th annual Stone Ridge Library Fair

he many outdoor pleasures that come along with warm weather aren’t limited to activities that involve strenuous physical exercise. We get to flex our mental muscles as well by stocking up on bargain-priced summer reads at our region’s bounty of book fairs. Some of these have been institutions practically forever – fond recollections of childhood outings for even the elderly among us. Of these revered annual Library Fairs, perhaps the most venerable is the one in Stone Ridge, which wraps up its seventh decade of continuous existence this weekend, rain or shine: “the Library’s largest annual fundraiser,” per director Jody Ford.

Besides the Giant Book Tent that’s obligatory at any of these events, the Stone Ridge Library Fair also caters to the interests of the community groups who meet there to discuss topics other than what they’re all reading this week: gardening, for example. The Plant Tent brims with flowering annuals, perennials and herbs, and is a destination of particular interest to those who can never have enough varieties of daylilies in their collections. Antiquers can head for Eleanor’s Emporium, whose specialties include “gently used” fine china by such prestigious manufacturers as Limoges, Bayreuth and Adams.

Free live music goes on from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. this Saturday, June 13 on the Library grounds, with a lineup including such local luminaries as Kurt Henry and Cheryl Lambert, kindie-rock faves Fuzzy Lollipop, BLOOM, Breakaway and the Rondout Valley High School Vocal Jazz Ensemble. And, it being mid-June, picnic edibles for sale will feature the traditional strawberry shortcake. Shuttle bus service will be available all day from the SUNY-Ulster Parking Lots C & E, as well as from the Marbletown Elementary School.

If you miss all the fun on Saturday, come back on Sunday, also from 10 to 3, and scoop up the biggest bargain of all: a whole bag of books for $8. You won’t get first pick, but there will be still plenty of gems overlooked by the crowd.

Last fall, Bud Lavery showed his uncannily realistic paintings of crackers, cookies and pretzels at Kingston’s Storefront Gallery, and now he has tackled the bagel. “The Art of the Bagel,” which features seven 12-by-12inch framed paintings, each depicting a single bagel, opens at the Bakery in New Paltz on June 17. The bagels are depicted straight on, as if they were in an advertisement, against a black background, and each is a different kind, including sesame, cinnamon/

raisin and poppyseed.

Lavery, who resides in a 19th-century farmhouse, complete with apple orchard, in Highland, notes in his artist’s statement that he has long felt an affection for the bagel. “Growing up in a quintessentially WASP household, my introduction to the bagel came a little late in life: I sampled my first on a St. Patrick’s Day in my early teens – and it was dyed green. But despite the Gaelic disguise, the bagel could not hide its essential greatness, and so began a lifelong love affair.” Yet one suspects that as a subject for a series, it was not so much the taste but the round form with the hole in the middle and interesting texture and the pop appeal of immortalizing such an everyday, ephemeral object that appealed to him.

The graphic crispness of the images reflects Lavery’s talents as a graphic

designer, and alludes to their source mainly in photography. Indeed, Lavery was partner in a successful graphic design firm based in the City for several decades. His poster depicting a series of camels silhouetted against a smoldering sky for the American Museum of Natural History’s “Traveling the Silk Road” exhibit in 2010 popped up all over the City.

Other high-profile commissions include the poster for the 1980s indie classic Swimming to Cambodia, featuring the late monologist Spaulding Gray.

But Lavery’s bagels also embody a meticulous realism, in which the artist lovingly portrays every crevice and seam of browned, shiny crust, wrinkled raisin, salt crystal, tiny sesame seed and the oblong negative space, distinctive in each painting, described by each center hole.

A gentle, diffuse light, evocative of a 17thcentury Dutch still life – as is the striking black background, which on closer inspection is not flat but atmospheric – describes the doughnutlike curves of each doughy form. In his lavish attention to each object, Lavery does for the eye what the baker does for the stomach, satisfying our hunger for clarity and form as well as our pleasure in subtle differences.

The format of the series, besides evoking the repetitions of the Pop Art of Warhol and Jasper Johns, allows us to contemplate the bagel as object, the uniformity of its manufactured aspect and the variables that emerge in the baking process. His trompe l’oeil depictions are both matterof-fact and mysterious, surrealistic in their combination of the literal (each bagel is life-sized) and fantastic (the ambiguity

June 11, 2015 of their position in space). Their stark simplicity and honestly rendered details are also reminiscent of American folk art.

As we sat in the orchard on a gorgeous afternoon, the sweep of the broad, leafy valley and the distant pinnacle of the tower atop the Shawangunks visible in the distance, sipping the delicious cider that he and his partner, Paul Phillips, pressed last fall from their own JonaMac apples, Lavery told me how he’d learned his Old Master technique when he was a student at the School of Visual Arts back in the 1970s. After his career as a graphic designer took off, he didn’t touch his paintbox until a few years ago, when he used those same tubes of paint to make a small painting of peas and carrots (he chose the subject because he wanted to submit a work to a show at the Arts Society of Kingston, whose theme was “Green”). That painting sold, and Lavery has been pursuing his newfound love – and selling more work – ever since.

Free Active Transportation Conference in Kingston The Kingston Land Trust and Cornell Cooperative Extension of Ulster County will present the Active Transportation Conference on Friday, June 12 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Topics covered will include how active transportation (walking and biking) builds strong economies, safe and sustainable environments and healthy people.

The event will be held at the Rondout Municipal Center, located at 1915 Lucas Avenue in Cottekill. Lunch will be served. There is no cost to attend.

Registration is open through June 5 at www.activetransportationulster.org.

The keynote speaker is Mark Fenton, a national public health, planning and transportation consultant, an adjunct associate professor at Tufts University’s

ALMANAC WEEKLY Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy and former host of the America’s Walking series on PBS television. He’s also the author of numerous books.

The conference features several breakout sessions that will explore the intersection of trails, complete streets and smart growth and their relationship to vibrant, healthy, prosperous communities. Breakout sessions will include topics such as land use and smart growth, innovative on-street bicycle infrastructure, policy solutions for sidewalk maintenance, trail signage and wayfinding, the growing market for walking and bicycling tourism, Safe Routes to School in Ulster County and more.

Fundraiser/screening for Lost Rondout: A Story of Urban Removal at Savona’s Trattoria Savona’s Trattoria will host a fundraiser for Lost Rondout: A Story of Urban Removal, the new film by Stephen Blauweiss and Lynn Woods about the 1960s urban renewal program that destroyed much of Kingston’s downtown, on June 16 at 7:30 p.m. The benefit screening will be held in Savona’s private dining room, in an 1880s building, complete with original storefront windows and tin ceilings, that’s located across from the street from the cleared area. The buildings that were demolished on the other side of the Broadway were much like this one.

There will be free food, provided courtesy of Savona’s, a cash bar and a silent auction. Items to be auctioned off include prints of Gene Dauner’s slides of the urban renewal area just before its destruction; gift certificates for two R & F Handmade Paints workshops; gift certificates from Milne’s At-Home Antiques, Olivieri’s Arts, Crafts & Coffee and other local stores; a Photoshop instructional session; and a night at the popular Rondout bed-andbreakfast, Church des Artistes.

The hourlong film will be screened at 8:30 p.m. Though still a work-in-progress, new material has been added. The film will be completed by this fall.

Tickets cost $20. Blauweiss and Woods are seeking to raise $7,000 to cover their out-of-pocket expenses, which include the original soundtrack, sound mixing and digitizing archival footage. At their first fundraiser, held on May 12, they raised nearly $2,500. “We are extremely grateful to all the individuals and businesses who have supported us,” said Woods, noting that Savona’s is donating both the food and the space. The Kingston Wine Company, Grounded and Church des Artistes have also donated to the film.

The trailer for the film, which was unveiled at the May 12 fundraiser, was posted on Facebook the night of June 1 and as of the night of June 5, had attracted more than 3,200 views, with more than 125 shares. “The response has been incredible,” said Blauweiss. “The trailer has spurred dozens of comments and reactions ranging from tears to disbelief.”

The film is based on nearly 1,000 slides taken by Gene Dauner – then a young man in his 20s delivering flowers for his father’s florist business – of the area just prior to and during the demolition. Images by other photographers, as well as family photographs, are also incorporated. The filmmakers have interviewed nearly 40 people, including people whose childhood homes were destroyed, historians, planning experts and an architectural historian.

More than 400 buildings were torn down, constituting most of downtown, and what was left was boarded up and abandoned until artists, pioneer investors and businesspeople began to invest in the area in the late 1970s and 1980s. Today the Rondout has recovered, but the area still struggles with the legacy

of urban renewal.

Vernon Benjamin lectures at D & H Canal Museum in High Falls this Friday Vernon Benjamin, longtime journalist and former Saugerties town supervisor, as well as author of The History of the Hudson River Valley from Wilderness to the Civil War, is speaking this Friday, June 12 at the Delaware and Hudson Historical Society on Mohonk Road in High Falls on the subject “Revolutionary Thinking: The Creation of the D & H.” Consider it a preview of his next history, from Lincoln’s assassination to now; but also an opportunity to watch a meta-information-gatherer spool a wealth of fun, interrelated details with an eye to the bigger effects, including a goodly amount of humor and titillation. Vern’s a blast to spend time with.

The lecture costs $5 (unless you’re a museum member) and starts at 7 p.m. at 23 Mohonk Road in the old canal village.

SAMUEL’S TAKE on this particular New York City acid-pop moment is so profoundly musical, harmonically advanced and refined that it evokes the offhand sophistication of bossa nova (and its psychedelic variant tropicalia) without ever sounding remotely Brazilian.

Disturbing Wildlife and the increasingly present Invisible Familiars

T

he Brooklyn band Invisible Familiars is becoming a visible and familiar presence locally after a showcase at BSP in Kingston, a personally devastating set at Snug Harbor in New Paltz and now a return visit to Quinn’s in Beacon on Friday, June 12. Bandleader, songwriter and bassist Jared Samuel also plays in Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger with Sean Lennon. Samuel looks a little like Lennon and shares GOASTT’s taste for playfulbut-not-entirely-tongue-in-cheek neopsychedelia, goosed with a fair share of historically vague classic rock referentially. But Samuel’s take on this particular New York City acid-pop moment is so profoundly musical, harmonically advanced and refined that it evokes the offhand sophistication of bossa nova (and its psychedelic variant tropicalia) without ever sounding remotely Brazilian.

There are actually two Invisible Familiars to get to know: the one that made a difficult-and-stringent-but-richlyrewarding record, Disturbing Wildlife (2014, Other Music Recording Company), and the comparatively generous and userfriendly live band featuring Samuel and a couple of younger conservatory phenoms.

Eastman School of Music-trained guitarist Noah Berman replaced the rock-beast guitarist Robbie Mangano. His jazz touch and his tight, tense voicings bring out a different dimension of Samuel’s songcraft.

The Berklee-grad drummer and vocalist Jordyn Blakely’s hyperfine, acoustic/ electro chamber-pop playing buoys and drives Samuel’s impossibly subtle songs with total ease and total precision.

Disturbing Wildlife is one of the most conceptually committed, tightly executed records that you will hear this year or any other. Produced by longtime Steely Dan sideman and composer/ trumpeter Michael Leonhart, it features contributions from Samuel’s heavyweight pals such as Nels Cline, Jolie Holland and

The Invisible Familiars will play Quinn’s in Beacon on Friday, June 12.

both halves of Cibo Matto. But Disturbing Wildlife is anything but a scene-party kind of record. Its core sounds are spare, dry and equal parts acoustic and abrasive electro; the interloping and accent sounds are confrontationally weird and ugly, the strata of the mixes often dark and gritty.

The songs and productions unfold wonders of musicality and lyrical development, but do so with a patience that is almost begrudging, almost sadistic.

By the end of the psych ballad “Elaine Serene,” the squawking animal groove of “Bestial Western,” the exquisite laze-pop of “You & Yr. Arrow” and “Act One,” the irresistibly wily hooks of the title track… indeed by the end of practically every song on this remarkable record, you’ll experience a pure, transporting beauty powerful enough to make you forget the Spartan difficulties of getting there.

The language here is an urbanized Beatlesque, unmistakable in its reverence for the scant seven years of Beatles. But Samuel’s application of those tropes and materials is one of the most subtle, sublime and original since Elliott Smith’s, and absolutely at that level. The album closes with the beautiful reedorgan-powered parlor pop of “Cherry Blossom Two,” which strings along like a protracted preamble to “Honey Pie” that never reaches the crowdpleasing musichall payoff; for, in the world of Invisible Familiars, the weirdness is the meat, not the gravy.

Slavery did not end in the US on January 1, 1863 with the Emancipation Proclamation, an executive order issued by president Abraham Lincoln. In many parts of the country, the news of the abolition of slavery was slow-arriving or ignored. It wasn’t until June 19, 1865, when major general Gordon Granger rode into Galveston, Texas with a document called General Order Number 3 that the slaves in Texas were freed.

Tix on sale for Four Nations Ensemble’s autumn Hudson River Harvest Concerts series The Four Nations Ensemble was founded in 1986 to perform music from the Renaissance through the early Classical period on authentic instruments and in authentic vocal style. Among its many prestigious performance venues are Lincoln Center, the Kennedy Center, the Mostly Mozart Festival, the Boston Early Music Festival and even the Maverick Concerts. Its members are Andrew Appel, Charles Brink and Loretta O’Sullivan (a frequent presence in the Aston Magna series), along with numerous guests.

A review by Howard Vogel of an early

Four Nations concert appeared in the Woodstock Times: “From its first notes, the quieter sounds of the strings and fortepiano were perfectly balanced, and dynamic changes were not less dramatic in the hands of these players. It was wonderful to hear such an ensemble.”

Subsequent reviews demonstrate that the ensemble has maintained its high standards over the decades.

Four Nations has a long-running series (two decades) called the Hudson River Harvest Concerts, which performs in “historic homes and great barns” of the northern Hudson Valley. Because the venues are not large concert halls, attendance is limited and the series presenters recommend reservations far in advance. The 2015 series begins on

Saturday, September 5 with a performance of Handel’s Acis and Galatea, featuring five guest singers, at the home of Dennis Wedlick (the building’s architect) and Curtis DeVito in Stamfordville.

On October 3, soprano Pascale Beaudin joins the augmented instrumental ensemble for a program titled “Mad Love,” described as “cantatas of perilous love and instrumental music that pushes the boundaries of decorum” by Rossi, Handel, Vivaldi, Telemann and Biber.

Finally, on November 7, the series concludes at the great Clermont estate, in Clermont, with a program called “Music for Livingston.” It includes music that Chancellor Livingston could have heard on trips to Paris and London, including a chamber arrangement of

The Hands of the Undocumented performed in Newburgh The voices of undocumented immigrants often go unheard. The New Song Choir is trying to help change that.

The Hands of the Undocumented is an original cantata that examines the role that the undocumented worker plays in our daily lives. Sung in both English and Spanish, it transposes feelings about undocumented hands through Biblical verses that speak of the alien, the foreigner and the stranger.

ROSENDALE CAFÉ HOSTS ABBY HOLLANDER BAND ON SATURDAY

he Abby Hollander Band, a fine four-piece bluegrass ensemble, will perform at 8 p.m. on Saturday, June 13 at the Rosendale Café, located at 434 Main Street in Rosendale.

Hollander is a singer, bass- and guitar-player and award-winning songwriter who was raised in a family of bluegrass and country musicians in Woodstock. After several years in Austin studying and performing country music, she returned to New York, settling in Brooklyn, and became a part of that vibrant music scene.

“This band is cool because it sounds like traditional bluegrass a lot of the time, but we focus on original songs,” she says. “There’s no reason bluegrass can’t maintain the integrity of the overall aesthetic, the traditional sound, while still innovating in the form of songwriting.” On the band’s new self-titled CD, released in the spring, Hollander wrote five of the eight songs.

The band features banjoist Ellery Marshall, guitarist Jeff Picker and fiddler Nick Reeb, with Hollander on the standup bass: an unusual spot for the lead singer. “I switched to the bass because as soon as I picked it up, I felt more a part of the band than I ever had before, on any other instrument,” she says. “It’s a perfect complement to the lyrical, melodic qualities of singing; it’s the ground for the singing to spring from.”

In addition to the Rosendale Café, the band will be featured as an Emerging Artist at this summer’s Grey Fox Festival, in Greene County in July. “We’re lucky enough to have gotten a slot on the Grey Fox bill this year thanks to Mary Burdette, at Grey Fox, who came to see our showcase set at Joe Val Bluegrass Festival. Based on that, she took our album and our name to Mary Doub and secured us this feature in their Emerging Artists lineup.”

But she’s equally excited to play in the Ulster County environs where she grew up. “I love coming home to play at the Rosendale Café for a few reasons: It’s a beautiful listening room, and you know that anyone who stops in there is really going to lend a thoughtful ear to what you’re doing; Mark treats his artists well and genuinely enjoys the music.”

Abby Hollander Band, Saturday, June 13, 8 p.m., $10, Rosendale Café, 434 Main Street, Rosendale; (845) 658-9048.

historic sanctuary of the First Methodist Church, located at 241 Liberty Street in Newburgh. The cantata is co-written by Jorge Lockward, who is the director of Global Praise of the General Board of Global Ministries of the United Methodist Church, and his New Choir is made up of voices from various churches all over New York.

The cantata will be performed on

Saturday, June 13 beginning at 6 p.m. It is free and open to the public. A free-will offering will be collected to help support the New Song Choir and the ministries of the First United Methodist Church.

Aston Magna spotlights Monteverdi at Bard season opener These days, historically informed performances of early music on instruments of earlier periods have become commonplace and popular among classical music audiences. But in 1972, when Aston Magna was founded, they were extremely unusual and uncommon. The late harpsichordist Albert Fuller, a great artist, co-founded Aston Magna to spread awareness of early music performance styles and to encourage interested musicians to come together for study and collaboration. The program and ensemble are named for their earliest venue: the Aston Magna estate in Great Barrington once owned by violinist Albert Spalding.

Aston Magna is now a program of Bard College. It brings together an international assemblage of musicians that continues the original mission of study and performance.

Its June/July concert series takes place in three venues, one of which is Bard’s Olin Hall, on Friday nights. Violinist Daniel Stepner is now Aston Magna’s director and a frequent performer.

This year’s season begins on June 19 with a program titled “Monteverdi’s Warring Lovers.” It’s a Mostly Monteverdi program, with vocal works of that great transitional Renaissance/Baroque master sung by the spectacular Dominique Labelle, a frequent

musicians who are friends and associates of theirs.

The 2015 season, as always, takes place in June at Olin Hall on the Bard campus. The duo of violinist JinJoo Cho and pianist Hyunsoo Kim opens the series on Saturday, June 13, playing works of Clara and Robert Schumann, Joan Tower, John Corigliano and Franz Waxman (his popular Carmen Fantasie, a favorite of Isaac Stern’s). Cho is a student of Laredo’s; Kim, a staff pianist at Kent State University, is a frequent recital partner of Cho’s. Les Amies, the performers on June 20, are harpist Nancy Allen (a Kingston native), flutist Carol Wincenc and violist Cynthia Phelps, all principal players in the New York Philharmonic. Their program is nearly all French: Ibert, Ravel, FaurÊ, Devienne, Debussy and one British ringer, JEFF BISTI

Hudson Valley Chamber Music Circle season begins at Bard this Saturday In 1950, chamber music concerts in the Hudson Valley were considerably rarer than they are now. Three musiclovers – Helen Huntington Hull, Mrs. Lydig Hoyt and Mrs. Jonas Borak – collaborated with a former member of the legendary Budapest Quartet, Emil Hauser, in creating a chamber music series. The Hudson Valley Chamber Music Circle (HVCMC) became a program of Bard College in 1979.

In 2000, after the death of longtime manager Margaret Schafer, direction of the HVCMC passed to a duo of great musicians: violinist Jaime Laredo and cellist Sharon Robinson. The duo’s own performances have enhanced the series greatly, along with concerts by

f you heard that some startup local theatrical troupe was about to put on its first summer Shakespeare production out-of-doors, what would be your first guess as to which play they would select? If you picked A Midsummer Night’s Dream, you’d be right more often than not. It’s well-beloved; it’s frothy and funny; it’s seasonally appropriate; it even has fairies.

ence their first nibble by the acting bug playing one of the “rude mechanicals” in the Pyramus and Thisbe bit.

The down side to this ubiquity, of course, is that Dream has become the Shakespeare play that we’ve all seen at least one time too many (if there can be such a thing).

If we don’t have an offspring, niece or nephew involved, it can be difficult to feel inspired to see it once again. For seasoned theater troupes, coming up with a topical twist, anachronistic setting or refreshing performance approach can be a challenge. How do you pique the interest of jaded audiences without coming off too gimmicky?

If you’ve ever been to one of the Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival (HVSF)’s delightfully inventive, professionally rendered shows in the big white tent on the gorgeous grounds of Boscobel in Garrison, you know that you’ll be in good hands when it takes on A Midsummer Night’s Dream this summer – the more so knowing that it’ll be directed by Eric Tucker, who served up a delectable helping of another of the Bard’s lightweight comedies last summer, The Two Gentlemen of Verona. This season we are promised a “modernized” version of Dream, with 20 characters portrayed by only five actors.

It should be fun indeed to see how those demands put the cast through its paces; things could get gloriously goofy here.

Less familiar to most audiences is Shakespeare’s late romance A Winter’s Tale, though it’s famed for containing the stage direction “Exit, pursued by a bear” and a statue that comes to life.

This production will be the first play at Boscobel to be directed by HVSF’s new artistic director, Davis McCallum, who took the helm last year. So his staging chops will be interesting to size up as well.

Folks who caught the brilliant 2014

production of Corneille’s The Liar are well aware that sometimes the coolest offering on HVSF’s summer menu isn’t necessarily something by Shakespeare. This year the troupe takes on an adaptation by playwright/director Mary Zimmerman of the timeless classic of Middle Eastern folklore, The Arabian Nights. The wily Scheherazade spinning mesmerizing tales to save her own neck from the royal axe sounds like the perfect framing device for presenting a variety of stories familiar and unfamiliar. Lileana Blain-Cruz directs.

All three mainstage productions cycle in repertory all summer, through September 1. There will also be a limited run of the Obie-winning one-man show An Iliad, a contemporary reworking of Homer’s epic poem, starring HVSF stalwart Kurt Rhoads. And in August, fledgling actors in the HVSF Conservatory Company will present The Tempest, geared toward young audiences.

The gates at Boscobel House and Gardens open a couple of hours before each performance, so go early, bring a picnic or purchase one at the outdoor café and soak up the iconic view of Storm King, the Hudson Highlands

So who can reject the call that Rhinecliff ’s great Morton Library has put out for a Friday-night-porchcentric storytelling slam for those aged 18 or over, with no censorship other than a strict fiveminute time limit?

There’s a $5 charge to cover refreshment costs. It all starts at 7 p.m. on Friday, June 12, allowing for a grand sunset – and some dark hours for those darker tales. The Library is located at 82 Kelley Street in Rhinecliff. Call (845) 876-2903 for info.

Beacon Institute hosts “Planning ahead in the Anthropocene” panel discussion The Beacon Institute for Rivers and Estuaries of Clarkson University will present panelists Dr. April Beisaw, Vassar College assistant professor of Anthropology; Eric Lind, Audubon’s Constitution Marsh director; and Dr. David Strayer, Cary Institute for Ecosystem Studies freshwater ecologist for a discussion of the quandary of habitat restoration in the age of climate change. The event, moderated by Hudson River environmentalist John Cronin, will take place on Thursday, June 18 at 7 p.m. at the Center for Environmental Innovation and Education (CEIE), located at 199 Denning’s Avenue in Beacon.

The talk, titled “Planning ahead in the Anthropocene,” is free and open to the public. Advance online registration is requested. Information about this and other Beacon Institute events can be found at www.bire.org/events. The Beacon Institute’s Center for Environmental

Innovation and Education is located at Denning’s Point in Beacon. For more information, call (845) 765-2721.

Though some may argue about in which epoch we currently live, the “Anthropocene” seems to be emerging as a favored term, particularly by those concerned with the environment; the anthropogenic era is so named for its reference to human activity as the dominant force behind changes in climate and the environment.

“Planning ahead in the Anthropocene” will call upon the expertise of Beisaw, Lind and Strayer to provide varied perspectives on how our culture, environmental organizations and science communities are responding to the complex issues surrounding climate change. Panelists will consider how predictions of sea-level rise, increases in invasive species and declining biodiversity stand to impact our environment, and will discuss options for protecting, restoring or adapting habitat now and in the future. Insights from how populations have dealt with changes to climate in the past will inform the discussion, and will be compared within a contemporary environmental and cultural context.

“Climate change and species invasion

are causing quantitatively faster changes than we’ve seen before,” says Strayer, whose work through the Cary Institute includes a 25-year group study of the ecology of the Hudson River and interests in biological invasions and conservation of freshwater biodiversity. “It is right to look to the past for insight about the future, but given the rapid rate and scope of change we are experiencing today, we do have cause for great concern.”

Lind, whose management and educational roles at Audubon’s Constitution Marsh in Cold Spring date back to 1993, says, “Monitoring and tracking changes at the Marsh will give us a bank of information, so when it’s time for action, we will have a clearer idea of what to do. Restoration is not a linear process, and nobody has the right answers. We have to be prepared to adapt and change and reverse course if necessary.”

“We are a part of both the problem and the solution,” says Beisaw, who teaches the archaeology of animals, landscapes and disasters at Vassar College. “It’s about making decisions as a culture about what we care about, what we want to preserve and what we want in our future, rather than either feeling fatalistic or separate from what is going on around us.”

and snarkily wise daughterly advice, but to say much more would be to say too much.

Just rest assured that there are no vehicle chases (unless a purloined shopping cart counts), no fistfights, shootings, beatings or explosions. The rat does make a return appearance, although what it symbolizes I haven’t a clue.

Mainly you just want to see this movie to watch Danner’s mobile face, which speaks volumes even though her central role is seriously underwritten, dialoguewise.

You might just see some inklings of your own future in this movie. Most certainly, you will see an actress supremely gifted in the art of nuance, working at the top of her form.

Blythe Danner in I’ll See You in My Dreams

Intimations of mortality

Rosendale Theatre screens Ctrl+Alt+Dance this Sunday

Blythe Danner is superb in I’ll See You in My Dreams

O

scar-winners (and nominees) often run in families; but the only mother/daughter combo ever to win Academy Awards for acting were Liza Minnelli (for Cabaret) and Judy Garland – and Garland’s award hardly even qualifies, as it was in one of those onetime-only “special� categories, created for her “juvenile� role in The Wizard of Oz. Diane Ladd and her daughter Laura Dern were both nominated for the same film, Rambling Rose, but neither one won.

Expect that dearth to change next winter, and hie thee to Upstate Films right now, lest you miss an extraordinary performance that I predict is going to get shortlisted for Best Actress: Tony-winner (and Bard College graduate) Blythe Danner, whose daughter Gwyneth Paltrow copped a Best Actress Academy Award for Shakespeare in Love, is so understatedly brilliant in I’ll See You in My Dreams that she seems destined to join those exalted ranks.

Not a whole lot happens in this lowbudget indie film, directed by the notyet-very-famous Brett Haley; but it’s a riveting, character-driven dramedy that should resonate with anyone who has ever experienced loss, and especially with those of an age to be no longer able to blinker oneself to impending mortality.

Protagonist Carol is a widow in her 70s who was briefly a professional singer in her youth and later a teacher, but has not sung in public since she got married and has not dated – or held a job – since her beloved husband’s death in a plane crash two decades before our story begins. Her grown daughter lives on the opposite coast and has not supplied Carol with any grandchildren. She has a tight group of girlfriends her own age with whom she plays bridge regularly. But the death of her longtime canine companion at the outset of the story triggers a repressed longing for deeper personal connections, at a time in life when such enterprises are becoming tougher to initiate and maintain.

When we first meet Carol, her life seems

to be an on even keel, but there’s a vacuum at its center that has nothing to do with a woman deriving her identity from a man.

Twenty years after her retirement, her alarm still goes off at 6 a.m. every morning – though the bedside stack of not-yet-read books that many of us picture in our own hopedfor less-busy years is conspicuously absent.

She doesn’t use her ample free time to travel or seek adventures or volunteer for a cause or learn new skills. She takes care with her appearance and always dresses nicely, even though she rarely goes anywhere. She keeps her house in a Southern California suburb immaculate – to the point that it doesn’t really look cozily lived-in – and the to-do list on her kitchen whiteboard is never more than two items long. Clearly, this is a woman whose First World problems do not include having to multitask to survive.

Perhaps that doorknocker shaped like a trowel is a clue to where she feels most grounded and alive? We see her watering her lush gardens, but never down on all fours getting soil under her fingernails.

Carol says that she has the life that she wants, but always appears detached, disengaged, low-energy, even when she’s hanging with her Golden Girls posse at their retirement village.

The scenes with this group – played by the inimitable Rhea Perlman, Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman’s Mary Kay Place and June Squibb, who was so hilarious in Nebraska – are easily the funniest and most vibrant in the movie. But for a bunch of sassy, financially comfortable women on the upper edge of the Baby Boomer curve, the group’s conversation is mostly about cute new guys at the golf club and curiously devoid of intellectually stimulating talk about the arts, culture, politics, current events or ideas.

Carol’s gal pals try to cheer her up after the death of her dog by dragging her to a speed-dating event, with predictably awful results, and on a goofy night raid for munchies after Perlman’s character cracks out her medical marijuana

nebulizer. But nothing clicks for Carol until Lloyd (Martin Starr), the blandly cute, nice, unambitious man who cleans her swimming pool, intervenes when she spots a rat in her newly dogless home and panics. Lloyd is half her age and as aimless in his own way as she is, but the two get a little drunk together and grope toward an odd sort of friendship with slight romantic overtones that neither seems to consider appropriate to pursue.

Still, without efforts toward pursuit of some sort, one has no right to complain about happiness being elusive. Lloyd takes Carol to a karaoke bar, where she overcomes her shyness long enough to discover that she can still sing, knocking “Cry Me a River� out of the park. It seems to awaken some spark of liveliness that still smolders in her, and that cute new guy at the club – Bill, played by Sam Elliott – quickly notices. Perhaps there is a chance for romance in old age after all.

ORPHEUM

Every few years there’s some indie/ pop movie that pumps up some dance for a decade or so. Think Strictly Ballroom, Dirty Dancing, the way the Twist once exploded across living rooms worldwide. Ctrl+Alt+Dance is a new indie flick about a laid-off software engineer who lands a job as a high school dance teacher, then explodes with discovery of the classic craziness of Depression Era Lindy dancing to Big Band swing.

The work’s screening this Sunday, June 14 represents a fun entry in the Rosendale Theatre’s Dance Film Sundays series, and two of the region’s top ballroom and Lindy dancers/instructors will be on hand for a question-and-answer session. It runs at 3 p.m. on Main Street in Rosendale.

MANY HOUSEHOLDERS IN THE CITY DO NOT OWN A VEHICLE and are restricted to public transportation to get to and from supermarkets, which are often more than a mile from their homes. Furthermore, city buses only allow riders to carry two shopping bags on board, and the cost of a round-trip ride can be as high as $20.

Food desert oasis

Poughkeepsie Plenty Fresh Mobile Market launches this Thursday at Family Partnership Center

L

iving in the Hudson Valley has its food perqs, not the least of which is the availability of an incredible array of farm-fresh produce – unless you reside in an area where such foodstuffs are not sold, that is. It’s hard to imagine this being the case when farmland surrounds us on all sides, but in certain areas of the City of Poughkeepsie, “food deserts” do exist. Let’s face it: In some neighborhoods, fast-food outlets and gas station mini-marts are people’s only options for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

To remedy this situation, the non-profit Dutchess Outreach and its partners – the Poughkeepsie Plenty Food Coalition, the Family Partnership Center, Hudson River Housing, Interfaith Towers, the Po u g h k e e p s i e Housing Authority (New Hope Community C e n t e r ) , the Cornell Cooperative Extension of Dutchess County and the Dutchess County Interfaith Council – are set to launch a new initiative: The Poughkeepsie Plenty Fresh Mobile Market will bring nutritious foods to the people. On Thursday, June 11, a big green walk-in trailer set up like the produce section of a supermarket will park at the Family Partnership Center. Starting at noon, a celebratory media tour of the trailer with local officials on hand will kick things off before it opens to the public.

And then, it’s time to shop for dinner!

Korey Findley, Mobile Market manager, reports that food will be sourced from local and regional farms and participating

The Poughkeepsie Plenty Fresh Mobile Market will work in conjunction with the Community Food Hub and Micro-Farm with the overall goal of providing nutritious foodstuffs and farm-to-table educational resources for community members in need.

retail and wholesale providers, including Fishkill Farms, Hepworth Farms, Winterton Farms, Liberty View Farm, Late Bloomer Farm, Huguenot Street Farm, Brookside Farm, Ronnybrook Farm, Bread Alone, Right from the Hive, Wild Hive Farm, ImmuneSchein, Sprout C r e e k Fa r m , Acorn Hill Farm, the Poughkeepsie Farm Project and the Bruderhof Community. Some of the food will also come through the Dutchess Outreach Food Hub, which helps put harvest bounty in the hands of soup kitchens and meal programs (including Dutchess Outreach’s Lunch Box), along with other food pantries and others who help to provide food for people who have too little. “We will stock fresh, local vegetables, fruits and other foods, and sell them at affordable prices,” says Findley, who also manages the Gardiner farmers’ market and has extensive farming experience himself, “everything you’d find at the farmers’ market: maple syrup, bread – everything.”

“According to a Dutchess County Health Department survey, one out of four Poughkeepsie residents reported difficulty accessing healthy food, and more than half of those people said such food was too expensive,” says Brian Riddell, executive director of Dutchess Outreach.

Typical price points at regional farmers’ markets can tend to be a little higher than supermarket pricing. When asked how the program will be able to offer customers affordable prices for fresh foods, Riddell explains that much of the food is donated.

The Mobile Market will also take advantage of subsidies and grants from organizations such as the Community Foundation of the Hudson Valley, the New York Healthy Food & Healthy

“We will stock fresh, local vegetables, fruits and other foods, and sell them at affordable prices.”

“And we grow our own, too. This will reduce costs from the middle. We want to make the benefits of eating fresh foods available to everyone.”

Research done by Poughkeepsie Plenty indicates that many householders in the city do not own a vehicle and are restricted to public transportation to get to and from supermarkets, which are often more than a mile from their homes. Furthermore, city buses only allow riders to carry two shopping bags on board, and the cost of a round-trip ride can be as high as $20. “In this context, corner stores are an important food source, where healthy options are often extremely limited,” says Susan Grove, leader of the Poughkeepsie Plenty research team. The Mobile Market will serve this population and revive a stronger sense of community.

The food trailer will move around town from June through October on a regular schedule beginning Tuesday, June 16, when it will make its regular Tuesday afternoon stop at the New Hope Community Center, Smith Street at 104 Hudson Avenue from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. On Thursdays, it will be at Interfaith Towers on Washington Street during the same hours. On Fridays from 12 noon to 4 p.m., the Mobile Market will be at the Family Partnership Center on North Hamilton Street, and on Saturdays at Hudson River Housing on Main Street at Middle Main Pocket Park from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Patrons may pay with cash, Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program checks, WIC or SNAP/ EBT benefits.

The program also includes an opportunity for local young people to get involved in their community.

In collaboration with Hudson River Housing’s River Haven program, teenagers will learn job skills by working at the Mobile Market. And in collaboration with the Cornell Coop and HealthQuest, professional nutritionists will offer helpful advice on ways to use the produce and talk to shoppers about incorporating new, healthy recipes in their meal-planning.

The Poughkeepsie Plenty Fresh Mobile Market will work in conjunction with the Community Food Hub and MicroFarm with the overall goal of providing nutritious foodstuffs and farm-to-table educational resources for community members in need. Dutchess Outreach has

been dedicated to providing meals, feeding children and AIDS patients, collecting and distributing food-pantry items and generally meeting the emergency needs of individuals for three decades. This new effort fills a gap in services in a way that raises awareness and brings the greater community together. “There is clearly an opportunity to bring affordable, fresh food to Poughkeepsie’s neighborhoods,” says Grove.

Riddell concurs wholeheartedly. “This is a different model than the stationary farmers’ markets we’ve had in the past,” he says. “Although we’re targeting a specific community of people, the Mobile Market will be everybody’s market. And we need people to support it.”

NIGHT SKY

It’s twilight time “Heavenly shades of night are falling/It’s twilight timeâ€? – The Platters, from their 1958 hit song Â

T

hat tune by the Platters would not have made the charts on the Moon. In fact, creatures on any known planet would be amazed by the unique twilight that we Earthlings take for granted. It’s an apt topic, because this week offers the year’s longest dawn twilight.

Throughout most of the universe, the sun sets and wham! It’s like a power failure: instant blackness. Only Mars has something of a terrestrial twilight. But its thin air is incapable of producing anything that resembles our own planet’s rich hues. That leaves us alone to ponder the phenomenon, along with bats and other crepuscular characters who cleverly avoid both day and night predators. “Twilight� suggests vagueness, but it’s actually a very specific event. And there’s not one twilight, but three! Let’s mostly focus on the morning version – and our mid-Hudson region.

Astronomical twilight begins this week at 3:10 a.m. This is when the first trace of dawn starts painting the sky, when full darkness starts to dissipate. It begins when the Sun is 18 degrees below the horizon.

Then the brighter nautical twilight starts, at 4:04 a.m., when the Sun is 12 degrees down. At its outset, the ocean’s horizon becomes visible – meaning that a mariner can begin to distinguish between the sea and the sky.

Finally we get civil twilight, when colors appear. Its onset, at 4:48 a.m., is when streetlights can legally be turned off. It begins when the Sun is a mere six degrees down. This final twilight ends at sunrise.

Twilight’s onset and duration vary greatly. Depending on the month and the observer’s latitude, twilight can expire in less than an hour or linger throughout the night. Right now in Fairbanks, Warsaw and Edinburgh, there simply is no full darkness. Twilight has replaced night.

It’s always shortest in the tropics, where one hour of total twilight is all you get. From our latitude, one-and-a-half hours are about average. It’s longer the farther north you go. Just drive to Albany this week, and each day’s twilight gets extended by ten minutes.

The current daily sunshine period – day length – is five minutes longer there, too.

There’s much more to it, of course, than pretty colors. During evening twilight our eyes slowly switch from their color-sensitive cone cells to the colorblind and lowerlight rod-shaped sensors. In doing so, human vision first loses hues at the extremes of the spectrum – the deep reds and violets – retaining greens until the last. We cannot accurately sense how dim the ambient illumination has become by the time astronomical twilight is over, thanks to twilight’s slowness. Who among us would guess that full

DION OGUST | ALMANAC WEEKLY

moonlight is 450,000 times less bright than sunlight?

At sunrise and sunset, solar rays must traverse 14 times more air than the zenithal atmosphere’s thickness, causing most of its blue to scatter out, leaving only the longer wavelengths. That’s why the rising Sun is orange and why the eastern sky contains little blue: The Sun, bankrupt of shorter wavelengths, has none left to provide.

Sometimes the sky exactly opposite the rising or setting Sun – the anti-solar point – becomes the converging focus of dusty sunrays. These anti-solar rays, with alternating pink and purple bands, are much rarer than the brighter Fairylandlike crepuscular rays that we commonly see spiking up from the just-set or soon-to-rise Sun, below the pre-dawn or post-sunset horizon. Evening twilight hosts dazzling Venus this season, with far-more-elusive Mercury extremely low in morning twilight. Even without the science and all the crepuscular phenomena, who doesn’t love the feeling of twilight?

The morning version lingers longest this week. By contrast, evening twilight is always lengthiest the week containing Independence Day. – Bob Berman Want to know more? To read Bob’s previous “Night Sky� columns, visit our Almanac Weekly website at HudsonValleyAlmanacWeekly.com.

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

Nice weather for ducks A rainy spell is a boon for mushrooms, too

W

ouldn’t you know it: I write about the extended dry spell one week, and the next week – which is now – the rain comes and doesn’t let up. Not that all this rain makes me regret having a drip irrigation system watering my garden; rainfall could come screeching to a halt and send us into another dry spell.

My five Indian runner ducks offer many advantages here on the farmden, not the least of which is affording me the pleasure of watching creatures that actually enjoy cool, rainy weather. The ducks also are entertaining and decorative, spend much of their days scooping insects and slugs out of the lawn and meadow and into their bills and, especially when living on that diet of insects, slugs and greenery, lay very tasty eggs. The down side to ducks is that they don’t know to stay out of the road.

My four chickens offer many of the same advantages as the ducks, except that they never seem as at peace with the world as do the ducks. Also, chickens scratch.

Scratching at the bases of mulched trees and shrubs exposes roots; scratching elsewhere wrenches young transplants

out of the ground.

Chickens abhor rainy weather.

Mushrooms that I “planted” last spring are, like the ducks, reveling in this rainy change. “Planting” these mushrooms involved nothing more than pounding short lengths of wooden dowels, purchased with shiitake mushroom spawn growing in them, into numerous holes drilled in freshly cut pin oak logs. A cap of hot wax over each plug sealed in moisture. The four-foot-long-byfour-inch-diameter logs lay in a shady place through summer while being colonized by thin threads of fungal hyphae growing out from the plugs.

This spring was to be the start of a few years of “fruiting” – that is, making mushrooms, the spore-bearing structures of fungi that taste so good sautéed with some onions and butter or olive oil. Dry weather of the past few weeks was slowing the mushrooms’ first appearance, so I decided to shock them. Just bouncing the end of a log against a hard surface, such as a sidewalk, sometimes wakes them up. I opted for a water shock treatment, giving

Within a week of being soaked, mushrooms began popping out all over the logs.

the logs a 24-hour soak in a shallow kiddie pool.

Right on schedule, within a week of being soaked, mushrooms began popping out all over the logs. With their ends levered into the horizontal openings of a metal fence gate tipped on its side against a tree, the logs and their attendant mushrooms are cantilevered out, perched above slugs and other organisms that might have enjoyed nibbling the fruits of my labor.

The shock treatment has resulted in a mushroom tsunami. Excess goes into the dehydrator, which has them crispy-dry and ready for long-term storage in about four hours. Once the tsunami ends, the fungi need to rest for a month-and-a-half before they’re ready for another shock. Or I can do nothing, and let nature pump out mushrooms more slowly over a longer period of time. Of course, if this rain keeps up – three inches in the last couple of

days – another tsunami might be in the offing anyway.

With the ground thoroughly soaked, it’s a good time to get plants in the ground – except in wet clay soils.

Working a wet clay ruins the almostcrystalline structure that develops when it is well-managed. Then, instead of the small particles aggregating together to make larger particles with larger pores in between them, letting air into the soil, the structure is reduced to only small unaggregated particles. Spaces between these small particles are so small that they draw in water by capillary action, and there’s no room available for air, which plant roots need. Good for pottery, bad for plants. Wait for any clay soil to dry a bit before digging in it, until it crumbles between your fingers with just a little pressure.

My soil is a silt loam that has been enriched with plenty of compost, which helps aggregation; so I can plant now, even right after rain.

Among the plants that I’ll be setting in the ground will be strawberries, right in a garden bed. Strawberries, you wonder? Big deal. But these are alpine strawberries. Okay, many people grow alpine strawberries. But these are white alpine strawberries – white, that is, even when dead ripe.

Alpine strawberries are different from common garden strawberries in that they are a different species (Fragaria vesca), they don’t make runners and both the plants and fruits are small, the latter about the size of a nickel. Previously, I’ve put a few in pots sitting along my front

Alpine strawberries are small, but have very intense flavor, which needs to be fully developed before being picked.

I especially like the white ones’ flavor, which can develop fully because, being white when ripe, they’re ignored by birds.

The variety name Pineapple Crush gives a good approximation of the flavor.

An Everywoman that’s almost ninja Vanessa Saft diorama art show opens this Saturday at Team Love RavenHouse Gallery in New Paltz

A

s a kind of rudely exposed room, the diorama lends itself to a scenes of concentrated, discovered domesticity: interior life with a narrowing focus. And indeed, artist Vanessa Saft does populate many of her multi-dimensional boxes with implied but oddly inscrutable domestic narratives. In some of the more scrutable ones, a faceless female figure knits, makes wardrobe decisions and deals with apparent plumbing disasters. But this recurrent Everywoman character is so precisely poised and kinetic, and so oblivious to your observation, that she seems either in the middle of a very disciplined physical act or on the verge of striking in a way

that is almost ninja – both in terms of the precision of the action and its mysterious ends and purposes.

Saft’s figures share an unapologetically raw, unfinished quality. “I leave the seams visible and awkward lumps,� writes the artist. The rooms are composed of elements familiar and alien: fancy wallpapers with hanging cages, dream logic and psychologically suggestive hidden chambers. But it is the urgent, inthe-middle-ofsomething action that really animates the eight dioramas in Saft’s sequence “I Can’t Get You Close Enough,� which opens at the Team Love RavenHouse Gallery in New Paltz on Saturday, June 13.

The diorama was originally a specialeffects mobile theater unit co-developed

by Louis Daguerre, the father of photography. Saft, who has a background in experimental theater, exploits the theatricality of the form thoroughly, but does so with plenty of misdirection and striking incongruity. The situations in these colorfully titled works are rife with implied-but-playfully-elusive narrativity.

One of the most situation-specific pieces – titled Now She Was Sure the Fox Would Never Find Her – is also among the most absurd and ambiguous. Saft’s very acute sense of urgency in the moment largely leaves you guessing about the befores and the afters.

Team Love RavenHouse celebrates the opening of “I Can’t Get You Close Enough,� which also features one large, participatory and multimedia-enhanced diorama, on Saturday, June 13 at 5 p.m.

Music will be provided by Bill Brovold and Saft’s husband, the keyboardist Jaime Saft, a veteran of the New York avantgarde scene and the prime voice in the excellent New Zion Trio locally.

Richard Corozine gives artist talk this Saturday in High Falls There will be an artist talk by New Paltz painter, playwright, journalist and pan-generational scenester Richard Corozine on Saturday, June 13 from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. in connection with his “Meetings with the Remarkable� exhibition currently on view at the Wired Gallery in High Falls. “Meetings with the Remarkable� is an

JUNE GROUP SHOW June 13 - July 12 5HFHSWLRQ 6DWXUGD\ -XQH SP

18-painting autobiographical series, 11 of which have been selected for exhibition at the Wired Gallery in June. The series is not to be confused with Gurdjieff ’s Meetings with Remarkable Men and has no intended connection to the famous mystic’s work, though Corozine’s sequence does share some of its far-flung exoticism and its spirit of pursuit: the sense that the finest mysteries are the most remote and occluded in space and in time, the ones that resist easy discovery or remembering.

While the series’ title and its premise might seem to suggest simple documentation – a gallery of eminent subjects in action – these paintings are rich in elements of slippery fantasy, symbolic play, narrative suggestion and routine violations of realism as they depict the painter’s defining encounters and experiences at home and across the globe.

Corozine himself appears in most of them: the figure of a disheveled, mustachioed witness to or participant in all manner of Beat-flavored adventure, illuminated memory and hallucination.

The gallery, located at 11 Mohonk Road in High Falls, is open on Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Corozine’s

Its artists – Sarah Barker, Marieken Cochius, Alicia Doebler, Rob van Erve and Pamela W. Wallace – are serious, their works idiosyncratic and singular. Well-curated, the show pulls from the deep talents of mid-career artists in the Greene and Columbia County area, each with growing connection to the area, yet vital art presences on an international scene.

A second upstairs solo exhibit of mandalalike works, Sarah Barker’s “Plant

Spirit Series,” turns out to have been the Muse for all that has been brought together downstairs. The aggregate feels revelatory, deeply observed and researched, yet lightly contemporary as well. It opens this Saturday, June 13 with an early-evening 5-to-7 p.m. reception at 398 Main Street in Catskill. Call (518) 943-3400 or visit www.greenearts.org for info.

Art Omi season opening

It’s an art-crowd holiday extravaganza up in Columbia County this weekend, where the illustrious Art Omi opens its Fields Sculpture Park summer exhibit, along with a more traditional gallery show in its handsome visitor center, with live Transmission Arts performances and fundraiser fun care of WGXC Hands-on Community Radio, kids’ events, foodtruck eats, and a Friday-night VIP reception. It all takes place, of course, on the same weekend that nearby Hudson celebrates its old-school Flag Day parade and fireworks and newerstyle Freak Flag bash down at Basilica.

The new works up at Omi – which offers summer residencies in dance and literature as well as its annual sculpture park and Charles B. Benenson Gallery exhibits – have been curated by artist Julie Ryan under the moniker “The Crayon Miscellany,” and include twoand three-dimensional works by such contemporary art world heavyweights as Donald Baechler, Mary Heilmann, Michael Zahn, Pamela Fraser, Robert Montgomery, Tamuna Sirbiladze, Andreas Reiter Raabe, Ron Amstutz, Jason Stopa, John Monti, Andrew Huston and Clare Grill. “‘The Crayon Miscellany’ encompasses the Gallery and spills out as we walk across the Fields at Omi, coolly calling inside, slyly beckoning outside, to and fro and back again,” writes Ryan of the show that she has pulled together after years of working throughout Europe, and now shifting to artisanal baking. “It would require a landscape to rest amongst the landscape itself and an audience who’d recognize themselves reflected in the art as such.” Ah, the wonders of selective art appreciation: the key to the scene these days.

Indoors will be a new Baechler mural, paintings

by Ryan and others with whom she has worked in Europe and New York and a new arrangement of works by Heilmann.

New special needs playground in Hopewell Junction A playground for all children means all abilities, including those with special needs, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s precisely the vision of Julieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jungle in Hopewell Junction: fenced-in for safety; ramps; accessible routes and paths throughout; spacious decks; short stair heights; Braille play panels; and a sensory garden.

SNAPPING TURTLE WALK AT BOSCOBEL

T

he Boscobel estate is beautiful, so I recommend going for a visit just in general. But for those who prefer to tie in a visit with a special event, consider the 21st annual Snapping Turtle Walk taking place this Saturday, June 13 from 7:30 a.m. to 9 a.m.

The snapping turtle is New York Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s official reptile, and each spring, hundreds of them climb up the hill to Boscobel to lay their eggs.

T

ROSENDALE CAFÉ HOSTS ABBY HOLLANDER BAND ON SATURDAY

he Abby Hollander Band, a fine four-piece bluegrass ensemble, will perform at 8 p.m. on Saturday, June 13 at the Rosendale Café, located at 434 Main Street in Rosendale.

Hollander is a singer, bass- and guitar-player and award-winning songwriter who was raised in a family of bluegrass and country musicians in Woodstock. After several years in Austin studying and performing country music, she returned to New York, settling in Brooklyn, and became a part of that vibrant music scene.

“This band is cool because it sounds like traditional bluegrass a lot of the time, but we focus on original songs,” she says. “There’s no reason bluegrass can’t maintain the integrity of the overall aesthetic, the traditional sound, while still innovating in the form of songwriting.” On the band’s new self-titled CD, released in the spring, Hollander wrote five of the eight songs.

The band features banjoist Ellery Marshall, guitarist Jeff Picker and fiddler Nick Reeb, with Hollander on the standup bass: an unusual spot for the lead singer. “I switched to the bass because as soon as I picked it up, I felt more a part of the band than I ever had before, on any other instrument,” she says. “It’s a perfect complement to the lyrical, melodic qualities of singing; it’s the ground for the singing to spring from.”

In addition to the Rosendale Café, the band will be featured as an Emerging Artist at this summer’s Grey Fox Festival, in Greene County in July. “We’re lucky enough to have gotten a slot on the Grey Fox bill this year thanks to Mary Burdette, at Grey Fox, who came to see our showcase set at Joe Val Bluegrass Festival. Based on that, she took our album and our name to Mary Doub and secured us this feature in their Emerging Artists lineup.”

But she’s equally excited to play in the Ulster County environs where she grew up. “I love coming home to play at the Rosendale Café for a few reasons: It’s a beautiful listening room, and you know that anyone who stops in there is really going to lend a thoughtful ear to what you’re doing; Mark treats his artists well and genuinely enjoys the music; and the vegetarian food!”

Abby Hollander Band, Saturday, June 13, 8 p.m., $10, Rosendale Café, 434 Main Street, Rosendale; (845) 658-9048.

LEARN

REGISTER NOW FOR LIFESPRING’S ARTWORKS A one-day exploration of creativity in Woodstock for older active adults to try out a new form of expression or rediscover an old creative passion

S

tudies on aging and cognition suggest that the aging brain has a lot in common with the highly creative brain of any age. Both are characterized by a broad focus of attention and the ability to make connections between disparate bits of information. Areas of the prefrontal cortex are thinner in both, correlating with less inhibition and a diminished need to impress others, which is true of both older adults and creDIERK SCHAEFER ative types. So anybody who thinks that “old dogs can’t learn new tricks” should check out what’s going on at Lifespring Saugerties these days.

The town-sponsored lifetime learning program run by volunteer staff is designed to provide stimulating non-credit courses on a wide range of topics for older adults, aged 55 and up. When Lifespring first began offering programs in 2009, there were just four classes available. Now, six years down the road, it has two six-week semesters, spring and fall, with classes held on Wednesday afternoons (since older drivers generally prefer to be off the roads at night), all without tests, grades or performance pressure in an atmosphere of like-minded community.

Lifespring also sponsors special one-day programs like the upcoming ArtWorks on Wednesday, July 22 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Woodstock Jewish Congregation, located at 1628 Glasco Turnpike off Route 212. The deadline to register is Monday, June 15.

ArtWorks is a one-day exploration of creativity meant to provide an opportunity for older active adults to try out a new form of expression or rediscover an old creative passion. One need not be a member of Lifespring to attend, and no prior experience or artistic skills are necessary to participate in any of the workshops that will be offered in visual arts, movement and dance, music, theater and improvisation and creative writing. The idea is to support the relationship between creativity and quality of life and foster an understanding of how creativity is a part of healthy aging.

The $50 registration fee ($40 for members of Lifespring) allows participants to take a morning and afternoon workshop and take part in opening and closing activities. A continental breakfast and vegetarian lunch are included in the fee, but there is an additional charge for materials in some of the workshops.

Doors will open at 8 a.m. for the continental breakfast, followed by opening remarks at 8:30 a.m. by Arzi McKeown, curriculum coordinator for ArtWorks and a founding member of Lifespring. McKeown is a psychotherapist and dance therapist who uses the creative and expressive arts for healing and growth.

The first selection of workshops will be held from 9 a.m. to 12 noon. Those who’d like to try some creative writing can bring paper, pen “and your wild mind” for a session with Anique Taylor, who holds an MFA in Poetry from Drew University and an MFA in Drawing from Pratt. Local furniture designer and history enthusiast Gus Pedersen will conduct a workshop on how to make a dovetail joint in furniture by hand. Each participant will go home with a small tissue box that he or she will make utilizing dovetail joints. Additional morning workshops will offer instruction on working with clay; international folk dancing; telling stories through collage; how to sing in a group; and theater techniques for improvisation and storytelling, learning how to “live in the moment.” A vegetarian lunch will be provided from 12 noon to 1 p.m.

Afternoon workshops from 1 to 4 p.m. will offer an eclectic selection of topics, including using photographs to practice techniques in watercolor; drawing using mixed-media techniques; unleashing spontaneity through theatrical and movement exercises; combining discarded bits of ephemera to create a dramatic new piece of jewelry; and making music with others, breaking into small groups to work together.

Ulster Publishing’s own Violet Snow, a writer for Woodstock Times, will offer “Interview with Your Ancestor,” a creative approach to jumpstarting creative writing or a way to hand down a memoir to descendants through exploring relationships with one’s ancestors. The class will work in groups where one person takes on the role of the ancestor and others interview him or her. A class in Euro-dance will be offered as well, billed as “all the rage in Europe,” combining elements of ballroom, folk and line dancing; and Arturo Ceballos, who teaches wool felting at Saugerties’ Perfect Blend Yarn and Tea Shop, will offer instruction on using natural fibers to create dimensional objects. He specializes in creating woodland creatures of fiber, and the class will concentrate on making small rabbits.

When the day of creativity is done, participants can come together in a drum circle with Nathan Brenowitz to experience the spontaneous creation of music on drums and other percussion instruments. No experience is necessary and drums will be provided, although those with their own are welcome to bring them.

DATED: June 11, 2015 Kingston, New York Victoria A. Fabella, Clerk Ulster County Legislature Local Law Number 6 Of 2015 County Of Ulster A Local Law Establishing A Tobacco Retail License and Reducing Youth Exposure to Tobacco 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 the “Ulster County Tobacco Licensing and Reduced Youth Exposure to Tobacco Law.” SECTION 2. LEGISLATIVE INTENT. The Ulster County Legislature hereby finds and determines that Ulster County has a substantial interest in reducing the number of individuals of all ages who use cigarettes and other tobacco products, and a particular interest in protecting adolescents from tobacco dependence and the illnesses and premature death associated with tobacco use.

Tobacco companies sell products that are addictive and inherently dangerous, causing cancer, heart disease, and other serious illnesses.

An overwhelming majority of Americans who use tobacco products begin using such products while they are adolescents and become addicted before reaching the age of eighteen (18). The Surgeon General of the United States has concluded that if young people don’t start using tobacco by age 26, they almost certainly will never start.

Studies have found higher rates of smoking at schools with more tobacco retailers within walking distance. Researchers suggest that limiting the proximity of tobacco outlets to schools may be an effective strategy to reduce youth smoking rates.

Although it is unlawful to sell tobacco products to minors, 5.9% of New York retailers surveyed do sell to minors (New York State Department of Health, 2010 Youth Access Tobacco Enforcement Program Annual report); and 20% of underage smokers in New York report that they usually purchase their cigarettes from a retail store (New York Youth Tobacco Survey 2008).

A local licensing system for tobacco retailers will provide a local enforcement mechanism to allow Ulster County to monitor and increase Tobacco Retailers’ compliance with state and federal laws that prohibit sales of tobacco products to minors by requiring compliance with these laws as a condition for obtaining and maintaining a local Tobacco Retail License.

A local licensing system for Tobacco Retailers is consistent with the County’s power pursuant to General Municipal Law to protect and promote the health of its youth. Moreover, the Family Smoking Prevention and Control Act of 2009 provides local governments with the freedom to implement tobacco control

policy options, including tobacco licensing and reducing the number of tobacco retailers in heavily youth populated areas.

A recent survey by the Baruch College School of Public Affairs found that 78% of Ulster County residents surveyed opposed tobacco sales at stores near schools and 61% percent favored an outright ban on the sale of tobacco products nears schools.

Therefore, it is the intent of Ulster County to reduce youth smoking rates by implementing effective measures through this Local Law to license all tobacco retail outlets, restrict the establishment of new tobacco retail outlets near schools, provide locally enforceable penalties, and increase education and awareness of the harm associated with tobacco use in youth populations.

SECTION 3. DEFINITIONS. ADMINISTRATIVE HEARING means a hearing administered by the Ulster County Department of Health as allowed by New York Public Health Law Section 309 and according to regulations adopted by the Ulster County Department of Health.

APPLICANT means an individual, partnership, limited liability company, corporation, or other business entity seeking an Ulster County Tobacco Retail License.

DEPARTMENT means the Ulster County Department of Health.

EXISTING TOBACCO RETAILER means any Person who is lawfully engaged in the retail sale of Tobacco Products and possesses a valid certificate of registration as a tobacco retail dealer from the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance on the effective enforcement date of this Article.

LEGAL AGE means the minimum age at which individuals are permitted to legally purchase tobacco products.

NEW TOBACCO RETAIL LICENSE means any Tobacco Retail License that is not a Renewed Tobacco Retail License.

PERSON means any natural person, company, corporation, firm, partnership, business organization, or other legal entity.

RENEWED TOBACCO RETAIL LICENSE means a Tobacco Retail License issued to an Applicant for the same location at which the Applicant previously possessed a valid Tobacco Retail License during the previous year.

SCHOOL means a public or private kindergarten, elementary, middle, junior high, or high school; or a Board of Cooperative Educational Services Center.

TOBACCO PRODUCT means any manufactured product containing tobacco or nicotine, including but not limited to cigarettes, cigars, pipe tobacco, snuff, chewing tobacco, dipping tobacco, bidis, snus, dissolvable tobacco products and electronic cigarette cartridges.

TOBACCO RETAIL LICENSE means a license issued by the Ulster County Department of Health to a Person engaged in the sale of Tobacco Products in Ulster County.

TOBACCO RETAILER means any Person who sells or offers for sale any Tobacco Product, or any employee of such a person.

SECTION 4. TOBACCO RETAIL LICENSE. (A) Effective January 1, 2016, no Person shall sell, offer for sale, or permit the sale of Tobacco Products to consumers in Ulster County, without possessing a valid Tobacco Retail License issued by the Ulster County Department of Health. A Tobacco Retail License is not required for a wholesale dealer who sells Tobacco Products to retail dealers for the purpose of resale only and does not sell any Tobacco Products directly to consumers.

(B) All Tobacco Retail Licenses issued pursuant to this Local Law are nontransferable and non-assignable and are valid only for the Applicant and the specific address indicated on the Tobacco Retail License. A separate Tobacco Retail License is required for each address at which Tobacco Products are sold or offered for sale.

DATED: June 11, 2015 Kingston, New York Victoria A. Fabella, Clerk Ulster County Legislature Local Law No. 7 Of 2015 County Of Ulster A Local Law To Authorize The Sale And Use Of Sparkling Devices BE IT ENACTED, by the Legislature of the County of Ulster, as follows:

SECTION 1. LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS. The Ulster County Legislature finds enacted state law Chapter 477 of the Laws of 2014 amended the State Penal Law, the Executive Law, and the General Business Law with the intent to modernize the statute dealing with illegal fireworks, provide additional definitions of what constitutes fireworks and dangerous fireworks and remove certain novelty devices, which are not recognized as fireworks by the federal government, out of the definition of fireworks.

The Ulster County Legislature finds the law, prior to the recently enacted changes, was not used effectively due to poor definitions and courts had thrown out indictments due to these poor definitions. Through the modernization of the statute and clearly defining the terms fireworks, dangerous fireworks and novelty devices, the new law provides law enforcement with an important tool in reducing the use of illegal fireworks and homemade devices and encourages the use of safe and legally regulated novelty devices.

The Ulster County Legislature finds the new law allows sparkling devices to be sold and used in municipalities that affirmatively enact a local law authorizing the exclusion “sparkling devices” from the definitions of “fireworks” and “dangerous fireworks”.

The Ulster County Legislature finds that allowing residents and visitors the opportunity to use safe “sparkling devices” will benefit them and local businesses.

The Ulster County Legislature finds that only those who 18 years of age or older may purchase sparkling devices and that the sparkling devices shall only be sold between June 1st and July 5th and December 26th and January 2nd of each calendar year.

The Ulster County Legislature further finds that all distributors, manufacturers, and retailers of sparkling devices must be licensed through the New York State Department of State.

SECTION 2.

Authorized Sale and Use of Sparkling Devices.

1. Pursuant to section 405 (5) (b) of the New York State Penal Law (Penal Law) and Penal Law section 270 (3)(b)(v) as enacted by Chapter 477 of the Laws of 2014, “sparkling devices” shall be excluded from the definition of “fireworks” and “dangerous fireworks” as those terms are defined by Penal Law sections 270(1)(a)(i) and 270(1)(b) respectively.

2. The sale and use of “sparkling devices” as defined in Penal Law section 270(1)(a) (vi) which is incorporated hereunder shall be lawful in Ulster County provided such sale and use are not in violation of Sections 156-h and 377 of the Executive Law or any rules and regulations thereunder.

3. “Sparkling Devices” are defined as follows: “Sparkling Devices” which are groundbased or hand-held devices that produce a shower of white, gold, or colored sparks as their primary pyrotechnic effect. Additional effects may include a colored flame, an audible crackling effect, an audible whistle effect, and smoke. These devices do not rise into the air, do not fire inserts or projectiles into the air, and do not explode or produce a report (an audible crackling-type effect is not considered to be a report). Ground-based or hand-held devices that produce a cloud of smoke as their sole pyrotechnic effect are also included in this category. Types of devices in this category include: (1) cylindrical fountain: cylindrical tube containing not more than seventy-five grams of pyrotechnic composition that may be contained in a different shaped exterior such as a square, rectangle, cylinder or other shape but the interior tubes are cylindrical in shape.

Upon ignition, a shower of colored sparks, and sometimes a whistling effect or smoke, is produced. This device may be provided

with a spike for insertion into the ground (spike fountain), a wood or plastic base for placing on the ground (base fountain), or a wood or cardboard handle to be hand held (handle fountain). When more than one tube is mounted on a common base, total pyrotechnic composition may not exceed two hundred grams, and when tubes are securely attached to a base and the tubes are separated from each other on the base by a distance of at least half an inch (12.7 millimeters), a maximum total weight of five hundred grams of pyrotechnic composition shall be allowed.

(2) cone fountain: cardboard or heavy paper cone containing not more than fifty grams of pyrotechnic composition. The effect is the same as that of a cylindrical fountain.

When more than one cone is mounted on a common base, total pyrotechnic composition may not exceed two hundred grams, as is outlined in this subparagraph.

(3) wooden sparkler/dipped stick: these devices consist of a wood dowel that has been coated with pyrotechnic composition.

Upon ignition of the tip of the device, a shower of sparks is produced. Sparklers may contain up to one hundred grams of pyrotechnic composition per item.4) novelties which do not require approval from the United States department of transportation and are not regulated as explosives, provided that they are manufactured and packaged as described below: (A) party popper: small devices with paper or plastic exteriors that are actuated by means of friction (a string or trigger is typically pulled to actuate the device). They frequently resemble champagne bottles or toy pistols in shape. Upon activation, the device expels flame-resistant paper streamers, confetti, or other novelties and produces a small report. Devices may contain not more than sixteen milligrams (0.25 grains) of explosive composition, which is limited to potassium chlorate and red phosphorus. These devices must be packaged in an inner packaging which contains a maximum of seventy-two devices.

(B) snapper: small, paper-wrapped devices containing not more than one milligram of silver fulminate coated on small bits of sand or gravel. When dropped, the device explodes, producing a small report. Snappers must be in inner packages not to exceed fifty devices each, and the inner packages must contain sawdust or a similar, impact-absorbing material.

SECTION 4. SEVERABILITY If any part of or provisions of this law, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, shall be adjudged invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, such judgment shall be confined in its operation to the part of or provision of, or application directly involved in the controversy in which such the remainder of this law, or the application thereof to other persons or circumstances.

SECTION 5. EFFECTIVE DATE This local law shall take effect immediately upon filing with the New York State Secretary of State.

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 “bottle babies”. 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. DIANA’S FANCY FLEA MARKET: Nice Items Needed for Next Sale!
