Rain: A Tribute to the Beatles this Friday at Bethel Woods The acclaimed Beatles tribute concert Rain: A Tribute to the Beatles makes its debut at the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts on Friday, June 20 at 7 p.m.. The performance covers the full range of the Beatles’ discography live onstage, including the most complex and challenging songs that the Beatles themselves recorded in the studio but never performed for an audience. Together longer than the Beatles, the performers of Rain: A Tribute to the Beatles have mastered every song, gesture and nuance of the legendary foursome, delivering a totally live, note-for-note performance that’s as infectious as it is transporting. The Museum at Bethel Woods will feature photos by Life photographer Bill Eppridge of the Fab Four’s first US visit and Beatlemania memorabilia from the Rod Mandeville collection, on display through August 17. Tickets cost $31.50 to $85 for reserved seating, available at www. bethelwoodscenter.org or TicketMaster at (800) 745-3000.

For Pete’s sake

This weekend’s Clearwater Festival draws big-name artists in its first year without its founder

I

n her song “Southern California Wants to Be Western New York,” singer/songwriter Dar Williams imagines a theme park on the West Coast for jaded, suntanned people who long to experience the homespun joys of upstate New York living: And they’ll have puttering on rainy weekends, autumn days that make you feel sad, They’ll have hundred-year-old plumbing and the family you never had, And a Hudson River cleanup concert… Okay, so it’s not in the western part of the state, but it has always been pretty clear to me that the concert that Williams had in mind is the one that she’ll be revisiting as a performer this weekend: the by-nowvenerable Great Hudson River Revival, better-known to most as the Clearwater Festival. The Clearwater Festival evolved out of the waterfront “folk picnics” organized by Pete Seeger and friends in the mid-1960s to pass the hat (his banjo case, actually) and raise money for what seemed at the time a mad idea: to build an authentic full-size replica of a 19th-century Hudson River sloop. Pete wanted to sail it to ports

up and down the river as a sort of floating environmental education classroom, rallying citizens to take an activist role in cleaning up and protecting the pollutionbefouled estuary. Some people scoffed, but look where we are now: The sloop Clearwater has been plying the waters for more than 45 years, and a couple of generations of school kids

in the Valley have trodden her deck and identified aquatic critters caught in her nets. A handful of riverfront communities (including Poughkeepsie) now safely draw and treat their drinking water from the Hudson; you can even swim in it. And fans of acoustic music by the thousands come every year to Croton Point Park on the weekend nearest the Summer Solstice to soak up Pete’s environmental message along with an earful of songs from around the globe, performed by musicians of every degree of fame. It’s always a fabulous party, but this

year is going to be different in a major way: It’s the first time that the Clearwater Festival will not feature Pete Seeger in person. His physical absence will be a heartache to many, but his spirit – not to mention that of his wife Toshi, who predeceased him by six months – is so thoroughly interwoven with the event that every aspect of the festivities reflects the values that the activist couple embodied. The fair food tends toward the healthful and meatless; the tee-shirts sold by the vendors mostly sport progressive political messages; musicians on the main stages are accompanied by American Sign Language interpreters so accomplished that their dancelike performances become an integral part of the show even for those whose sense of hearing is just fine. With the music commencing at 11 a.m. both days, the festival will kick off on Saturday with multi-artist tributes to Pete and Toshi in song and dance on several of the seven stages. And it’s a fair bet that performers throughout the weekend will be honoring the founders with reminiscences and songs from Pete’s repertoire – perhaps even a few new originals composed in his honor. One of the great joys of the Clearwater Festival over the years has always been the casual way in which performers – even the biggest names on tap – will drop in on each others’ sets or take their turns in a song swap; but expect that democratic structure be even more pronounced this year, with such a strong focus on Pete’s legacy and influence. The matchup that would have put this correspondent into the Let-Me-DieHappy-Right-Now zone – a jam between the English guitar god/songwriters’ songwriter Richard Thompson and masterful American blues/bluegrass crossover showman David Bromberg – is, alas, unlikely to occur, since Thompson (a Clearwater first-timer) is scheduled to be present only on Saturday evening and Bromberg only on Sunday afternoon. But together or separately, they exemplify the level of talent that the Clearwater festival consistently attracts. Other top-name folkie acts on this year’s roster include Lucinda Williams, Rufus Wainwright (another first-timer), Martin Sexton, Holly Near, Tom Paxton, Guy Davis (presuming that the recent death of his mother, actress Ruby Dee, doesn’t keep him away), Rory Block, Buckwheat Zydeco, the Klezmatics, Tony Trischka, Josh White, Jr., Garland Jeffreys, Josh Ritter, the Mavericks, moe.

PAUL LUKE BAND AT OPUS 40 IN SAUGERTIES THIS SATURDAY

M

aybe I just want to believe because the little hand is getting on, but one of the welcome-if-unintended consequences of the “new oldâ€? in music (roots, folk and blues revival in their many guises and the precocious beards of today’s guitar- and ukulele-slinging youngsters) is a noticeable reduction in the ageism of rock. I sense a somewhat more tolerant and inclusive attitude toward forebears of all stripes than is typical of pop culture. Perhaps it is because guitar rock itself is an endangered species, and its new generation has a more conscious sense of torchbearing. In the 1990s, “Catskill Mountain Rockâ€? was the term used to describe (and market) the sound of the Paul Luke Band, a country/rock fixture in them hills (and Woodstock ’94 act) and a band with some real industry push behind it in those days. Funny that the sound and sense of that band is much more in sync with the zeitgeist today than it was in the grungeaddled ’90s, when Levon wasn’t sniffing Grammies nor Brooklyn o’errun with imperial beards and banjos. It is nice to see this veteran, roots-rockin’ band enjoying some of the fruits of the wheel of fashion come ’round again. I wonder if, in fact, the Felice Brothers were acutely aware of the Paul Luke Band DION OGUST | ALMANAC WEEKLY in their Catskill youths, and I feel almost certain that Opus 40 in Saugerties they were. Paul and his fellows appear to have been making the scene again for a couple of years now. But their lightly trafficked Facebook page is conspicuously vague regarding their past, as if they have neither the heart nor the need to retell their story of high times and near-misses, preferring to exercise in modesty their cosmically protected right to rock at and for all ages. What better place for some definitive Catskill Mountain Rock than at Opus 40, itself perhaps the greatest achievement of Catskill mountain rocks? The Paul Luke Band with special guest the Amrod Band appear at Opus 40 in a joint benefit for Opus 40 and the Saugerties Historical Society on Saturday, June 21. Advance tickets cost $15. The gates open at 4 p.m. and the music begins at 5. No pets are allowed. Come prepared for lawn seating. For tickets and more information, call (845) 246-3400 or visit www.opus40.org. – John Burdick

Singers and founder of Sweet Honey in the Rock, will be there along with her daughter Toshi Reagon, who was named after Toshi Seeger. Plenty of local faves like Jay Ungar & Molly Mason, the Vanaver Caravan, Elizabeth Mitchell, Betty and the Baby Boomers, Dog on Fleas and Arm-of-the-Sea Theater will be on hand as well, plus the proverbial Host of Others. There’s a Family Stage devoted to kidfriendly music, another for storytelling and yet another just for people who want to dance all weekend long. For the full artist lineup and schedule, visit www. clearwaterfestival.org/stage-schedules. The 500+-acre Croton Point Park provides space for lots of other attractions as well, including environmental exhibits, an artisanal food and farm market, a Green Living Expo, a children’s play area, a craft village and a working waterfront

where a lucky few folks who sign up in advance on the Clearwater website can catch rides around the bay on the sloop Clearwater or the schooner Mystic Whaler. Tickets for the two-hour sails cost $15 to $45 over and above admission to the festival itself, which runs from $56 in advance for one day only for Clearwater members to $200 at the gate for the full weekend plus camping privileges. Kids age 12 and under get in free. On-site parking is limited, but the park is close to the Croton Metro North station and a shuttle runs continuously.

FESTIVAL

WOODSTOCK ’94 SITE IN SAUGERTIES TO HOST HUDSON PROJECT FESTIVAL JULY 11-13

T

he music festival as we know it today has its roots in the Hudson Valley. And while the producers of the Hudson Project, which comes to Winston Farm in Saugerties from July 11 to 13, acknowledge the area’s rich musical history, they’re more interested in carving out a history of their own than in becoming a part of the past. “It’s interesting,” said Kevin Earle, marketing director of MCP Presents, the Denverbased promoters putting on the Hudson Project. “The area is storied in the jam-band scene, but at the time of the Woodstock Festival, that was the cutting-edge music. It wasn’t called ‘jam-band’ music or classic rock as we know it now. We really believe that with the lineup we have, we’re on the cutting edge of all kinds of musical styles, as well as having some classics in there.” The lineup is eclectic, with nods to electronica, indie, hip-hop, soul and even the jam-band scene. While Mountain Jam, the ten-year-old festival that takes place at the base of Hunter Mountain, has increasingly expanded its horizons across multiple genres, Earle said that the Hudson Project is geared toward a decidedly younger demographic. “Mountain Jam is a fabulous festival, but it caters to a more traditional and older school clientele and type MICHELLE MARTIN COYNE Flaming Lips of music,” he said. “We believe that we represent the younger generation and new, up-and-coming music that’s indicative of that.” That up-and-coming music includes hip-hop sensation Kendrick Lamar, electronic deejay and producer Bassnectar, indie-rock heroes Modest Mouse and psych-rock giants the Flaming Lips. The undercard is no less eclectic, with Holy Ghost! Matt & Kim, !!!, Flying Lotus, Dr. Dog, Tokiomonsta, STS9 and more acts appealing to a broad range of tastes. “We’re firm believers that not any one person listens to any one style of music,” said Earle. “Electronic music is the flavor of the day, and there’s a lot of really fantastic electronic music artists out there. But going to some of these major EDM festivals, you hear the same rhythms and the same beats, and eventually the same songs over and over. That’s not really our cup of tea. We listen to hip-hop, we listen to Modest Mouse. We believe in diversity in life and in musical tastes. It’s amazing when you put together this many styles and genres in one location and see the different kinds of people that come out to it.” Another thing that the Hudson Project has in common with Coachella, Bonnaroo, MCP-produced festivals like Counterpoint and Camp Bisco, and even Mountain Jam is the availability of on-site camping. “That creates a totally different vibe,” said Earle. “[Non-camping] festivals [like the New York City-based Governor’s Ball] are great as well, but you come in, you go to the show and you leave. There’s no real sense of community, and it’s a completely different experience when you’re living on the land with fellow festivalgoers for several days in a row.” Earle thinks that the experience will be enhanced by the setting. “Finding out it was the old Woodstock ’94 site was extremely attractive – to know the land was viable and could hold a festival of the size and caliber we’re trying to do,” said Earle. “And going out and visiting the site and the area and seeing the natural beauty of the land; it was just a win/win. The close proximity to all the major metropolitan areas, especially New York City, also makes it a really attractive place.” Tapping into the musical history of the region is MCP’s relationship with Woodstock Festival co-creator Michael Lang, who Earle said has served as an advisor to the

Kendrick Lamar

Modest Mouse

Hudson Project. “It has been fantastic,” said Earle. “He’s a legend in the industry. He’s a champion of the area, of the property and of music festivals as a whole. He’s been giving us input when we’ve asked, but he’s been hands-off for the most part. He’s there as a consultant when we need him, but realizes this is our show and is here for support.” People attending the festival each day will arrive in a variety of ways, including shuttles from New York City and other locations. MCP has been working to minimize the projected traffic congestion. The daily attendance expectation is for approximately 20,000 festivalgoers: fewer than ten percent of the crowd that attended Woodstock ’94. In addition to the larger stages, Earle said that a local stage in the center of the field will feature music from around the Hudson Valley and New York City. Artisanal food and local craft beer will be woven into the fabric of the festival, as well as art installations and interactive experiences. Three-day passes to the Hudson Project currently cost $199 for general admission, $229 for general admission plus camping. Those prices will rise to $225 and $255 respectively at an as-yet-unspecified date. Three-day VIP tickets plus camping cost $499, while three-day platinum VIP-plus-camping tickets go for $799. Single-day general admission tickets cost $95, while single-day VIP tickets cost $175. There are a wide range of parking and travel passes and group camping rates, as well as various “glamping” options for pre-pitched luxury tents. – Crispin Kott

The lineup is eclectic, with nods to electronica, indie, hip-hop, soul and even the jam-band scene

Maverick Concerts bring chamber music, jazz & more for 99th season

DION OGUST | ALMANAC WEEKLY

The opening of Maverick Concerts’ 99th summer season this Saturday is an accomplishment – and true point of celebration – that reaches out to an international stage and audience. The

place is magically situated in a unique concert hall in the deep woods that seems all windows at first glance. There’s a section of free bench seating for fans without the means to spend what it takes to sit inside the acoustically significant hall that has seen historic concerts throughout its years as the nation’s oldest continuous summer chamber music festival, which its devotees have long likened to a chapel. Programmatically, the festival mixes world-renowned ensembles playing 19thcentury classics to evenings featuring local jazz and pop players, afternoons for young people and regular gigs beyond description, but always reminiscent of the older Woodstock ethos to which even the 1969 festival owes allegiance. Things kick off this Saturday, June 21 at 7 p.m. with a performance by the

On Saturday, June 28 at 11 a.m., Erica Pickhardt and friends will lead a Young People’s Concert – the first of three over the summer. It is free for all under age 16 (and only $5 for those over). That evening, the fabulous and long-running Actors & Writers will present “A Beastly Evening” starting at 6:30 p.m. featuring short plays, poems, monologues and songs on the theme of beasts domesticated and feral, as well as the venue’s own special history. Admission is by donation at the door. The next afternoon, Sunday, June 29 at 4 p.m., the renowned Shanghai Quartet

with Benjamin Hochman on piano will make their Maverick debut doing a program of Haydn, Bright Sheng, Janáçek and Dvorák. Things heat up in July with a Saturday, July 5, 6:30 p.m. concert of American classics from guitarist Benjamin Verdery, guitar; a Sunday, July 6, 4 p.m. offering of Thomas Ades, Janáçek and Beethoven by the Calder Quartet; a Saturday, July 12 morning Young People’s Concert with Kim and Reggie Harris; a 6:30 p.m. concert that same evening by solo jazz pianist Lara Downes, doing piano interpretations of Billie Holiday gems along with Impressionist pieces by Debussy, Prokofiev and Fauré; and then a Sunday, July 13 afternoon concert of Richard Strauss and Mozart from the Enso String Quartet, with Frederic Chiu on piano.

Aston Magna Early Music Festival opens this Friday at Bard The concept of “historically informed performance” has its intellectual and aesthetic critics, but when expert ensembles like those at Bard’s Aston Magna Festival get all revved up on period instruments, it is a revelation and a moment of true timelessness, like piped hymns in 300-yearold churches. While Aston Magna is billed as an “Early Music” festival, the programs themselves tax the definition of “early.” This season, for example, works by Purcell and an assort-

ment of Bachs join pieces by Brahms (in an evening dedicated to Romanticism) and, on July 18, a new piece, even: Aston Magna by Nico Muhly. The Aston Magna Festival occupies five summer Fridays, from June 20 to July 18 at Bard College’s Olin Auditorium. Aston Magna artistic director Daniel Stepner delivers a pre-concert talk at 7 p.m. before each event. Tickets cost $35 general admission, $30 for seniors. Students with valid full-time student IDs may purchase $5 student rush tickets on the day of the performance, subject to availability. Art/Smart tickets for people under 30 cost $15 at the door. Subscriptions and single tickets can be purchased at http:// astonmagna.org, or (800) 595-4TIX (4849). – John Burdick

Keyboardist Jeremy Baum plays the Falcon in Marlboro When you are an in-demand sideman and session guy, your labors of love are prone to relegation and backburnering. Keyboardist Jeremy Baum found the time to make an excellent

CD, The Eel – his second as leader – but is just now getting around to celebrating its release with a show at the Falcon in Marlboro on Thursday, June 26 at 7 p.m. Baum is an elegant and versatile player and writer, and he does not keep company with slouches, either. He is e q u a l l y comfortable with blues, gospel, funk, fusion and Latin flavors. Look for this to be an especially inspired set. The Falcon is located at 1348 Route 9W in Marlboro.

Powerhouse Theater promises star-studded summer at Vassar, new Rabe, Henley & Shanley plays

P

owerhouse Theater, that roiling crucible of new plays in various stages of development, is launching its summer 2014 schedule this weekend on the Vassar College campus with the first of two Readings Festivals. At 8 p.m. on Friday, June 20, you can catch Olympia Dukakis in The Unbuilt City by Keith Bunin, and on Saturday, The Humans by Stephen Karam at 12 noon and Fall by Bernard Weinraub starring Christine Lahti at 8 p.m. On Sunday, the choices are Choice by Winnie Holzman at 2 p.m. and David Rabe’s latest work-in-progress at 5 p.m.: Gilgamesh, the Prince, an adaptation of the nearly-4,000-year-old Babylonian epic. Admission to Readings Festival performances is free, but you must call (845) 437-5599 in advance to reserve a seat. A collaboration between New York Stage and Film and Vassar College, Powerhouse Theater is celebrating its 30th summer of cultivating new works for theater and film through an eight-week residency involving more than 250 professional artists and 50 apprentices on the Vassar campus. In this workshop atmosphere, audiences get many opportunities to see the stage hits of tomorrow in their early, not-sopolished incarnations, making us privy to the hard work and creative processes that lie behind theatrical magic. In addition to the Readings Festivals and some free performances by students in the program, a Powerhouse season typically consists of three nearly finished Mainstage productions, two musical workshops and two play workshops, with casts that include name actors from the Broadway, film and television worlds and some topnotch directors as well. The Mainstage schedule kicks off next Thursday, June 26 with Richard Greenberg’s The Babylon Line, directed by Terry Kinney, which will run through July 6. How I Met Your Mother star Josh Radnor plays a bohemian writer from Greenwich Village who commutes to the blue-collar suburb Levittown on the titular Long Island Railroad line in 1967 to give adult education classes. Leslie Bibb, star of Neil LaBute’s Reasons to be Happy, Tony Award-winners Randy Graff (City of Angels, Les Miserables) and Frank Wood (Clybourne Park, August: Osage County, Side Man), Maddie Corman (Next Fall, Picnic), Julie Halston (Hairspray, The Divine Sister) and Michael Oberholtzer (MCC’s Hand to God) co-star. It will be presented in the Hallie Flanagan-Davis Powerhouse Theater, and tickets cost $40.

Olympia Dukakis will appear in a free reading of The Unbuilt City on June 20.

The first of the Powerhouse musical workshops this year runs next weekend only, June 27 to 29: SeaWife by Seth Moore, directed by and developed with Liz Carlson. The “immersive” multimedia performance of this eerie tale features projected images, puppetry and original songs by the great punk/folk band the Lobbyists. The shows take place in the Susan Stein Shiva Theater, and tickets cost $30. The second Mainstage production, running from July 5 to 13, is In Your Arms, a song-and-dance extravaganza featuring a huge cast and consisting of vignettes written by Douglas Carter Beane, Nilo Cruz, Christopher Durang, Carrie Fisher, David Henry Hwang, Rajiv Joseph, Terrence McNally, Marsha Norman, Lynn Nottage and Alfred Uhry. Among the singer/hoofers will be several Broadway veterans, including Robert Morse, the star of the original production of How to Succeed…and more recently a regular Mad Men cast member, plus fellow Tony-winner Debbie Gravitte (Jerome Robbins’ Broadway), Ryan Steele (Newsies, Matilda, West Side Story) and Carole Shelley (Billy Elliot).

The second play workshop, Laugh by the Pulitzer Prizewinning playwright Beth Henley (Crimes of the Heart), directed by David Schweizer, will run from July 18 to 20. Both play workshops are presented in the Susan Stein Shiva Theater; tickets for either cost $30. The Danish Widow, the final Mainstage production, running from July 16 to 27, marks the return of a famous Powerhouse regular: Tony/Pulitzer/Oscar-winner John Patrick Shanley (Doubt, Moonstruck), who compares his latest drama, a mystery, to “a Hitchcock film with a Modernist edge.” Shanley will also direct. No cast had yet been announced as of presstime, but expect some stars and a likely sellout of tickets at $40 each. It will be staged in the Hallie Flanagan-Davis Powerhouse Theater. This summer’s second musical workshop production will be A Walk on the Moon, Pamela Gray’s adaptation of her screenplay for the 1999 movie of the same name about a frustrated suburban housewife enticed by the Woodstock festival as she’s staying in a nearby bungalow colony in 1969. The music and lyrics were composed by Paul Scott Goodman, and Michael Greif directs. Performances will take place from July 25 to 27 in the Vogelstein Center for Drama and Film; tickets go for $30. Powerhouse 2014 wraps up with the

second Readings Festival from July 25 to 27, which will feature the firstever reading of David Lindsay-Abaire’s latest play Ripcord, directed by David Hyde Pierce and starring T. R. Knight of Grey’s Anatomy. Other offerings that same weekend will include Turn Me Loose by Gretchen Law, featuring Joe Morton, lately of ABC’s Scandal but fondly remembered by many as the mute threetoed alien marooned in Harlem in John Sayles’s The Brother from Another Planet. The Invisible Hand by Ayad Akhtar, American Pop by Michael Friedman and Dry Land by Ruby Rae Spiegel will round out Readings Festival II – again, free of charge, but with advance reservations required.

DION OGUST | ALMANAC WEEKLY

Because it was made in the UK, Monty Python and the Holy Grail doesn’t make the American Film Institute’s list of 100 Funniest Movies; but on just about any other list of film comedies out there, it’s nearly always in the Top Ten and usually in the Top Five. There’s good reason for that, as you’ll discover any time you walk into a random roomful of people and quote a line from the movie – or even the beginnings of one. Inevitably, folks will jump in and start sharing their favorite Holy Grail bit. Nearly 40 years after its initial release, the movie remains durably beloved. Some folks were horrified when the idea arose to turn the film parody of Arthurian legends into a stage musical. But with Pythoner Eric Idle at the helm, Monty Python’s Spamalot came out (in 2005) nearly as funny as the original, wisely preserving most of the movie’s best-loved routines and turning many of them into extraordinarily silly songs. It added a female romantic lead, the Lady of the Lake, and replaced the film’s abrupt downer of an ending (the film being ripped out of the camera as the entire cast gets arrested) with an upbeat musical finale involving some simple-but-magical-looking lighting effects. The songs by Idle and John Du Prez include the popular “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life” (lifted from the crucifixion scene in Monty Python’s Life of Brian) and the “Knights of the Round Table” ditty from the original movie – the source of the musical’s title – along with a bunch of newer numbers. Monty Python’s Spamalot has been described by original troupe member/animator Terry Gilliam as “Python lite,” but it’s still intoxicating fun, even if you’ve seen it more than once. You’ll get another chance over the next two weeks at the Woodstock Playhouse, with

Amalia, the sparring couple-to-be. Performances of She Loves Me! begin at 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, with Sunday matinées at 3 p.m. Tickets cost $26 and $24 and can be ordered by calling (845) 876-3080 or visiting http:// centerforperformingarts.org. You can also book a dinner-and-show package for $49 that includes your theater ticket and a three-course meal at the Rhinecliff Hotel. – Frances Marion Platt

CALEB LOCOCO

She Loves Me! is not a musical that gets staged all that much anymore, which is a pity. The 1964 romantic comedy has a sweet, silly plot and some excellent songs by Sheldon Harnick and Jerry Bock, including the irresistibly catchy title tune. So it’s nice to know that the Rhinebeck Theatre Society is reviving it at the Center for Performing Arts at Rhinebeck, opening this Friday, June 20 and running weekends through July 13. With a book by Joe Masteroff, the musical is one of several vehicles for stage and screen based on the play Parfumerie by Hungarian playwright Miklos Laszlo, set in a perfume shop in Budapest. Two of the shop’s employees can’t stand each other in their day-to-day encounters at work, but are unwittingly falling in love as anonymous pen pals via a lonely hearts’ club. In 1940 it got made into the movie The Shop around the Corner, with James Stewart and Margaret Sullavan; in 1949 into a movie musical with Judy Garland and Van Johnson, In the Good Old Summertime; and in 1998 into the comedy film You’ve Got Mail, starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan and substituting e-mail courtship for the kind on paper. All of these adaptations were popular successes, so it’s safe to say that this seemingly lightweight comedic premise has proven surprisingly sturdy over the decades. Check it out for yourself by taking in this production, directed by Tracy Carney and starring Ryan Waterman as Georg and Victoria Howland as

Stephanie Zimbalist stars in Three Viewings opening this Friday at Shadowland

Y

ou probably know her as Laura Holt, star of the 1980s NBC detective series Remington Steele; or perhaps as the daughter of Efrem Zimbalist, Jr., star of the long-running TV show The FBI in the ’60s and ’70s, who just died last month at the age of 95. But Stephanie Zimbalist also boasts an absurdly long list of regional stage credits including Shakespeare, Brecht and Chekhov. Beginning this Friday, June 20 and running through July 6, she’ll be headlining Jeffrey Hatcher’s comic drama Three Viewings at the Shadowland Theatre in Ellenville. It will be her second stint at the beautifully restored former vaudeville venue, having performed in Arthur Miller’s The Price at Shadowland in 2009. Three Viewings is described as a dark comedy: a series of three monologues each taking place in a funeral parlor somewhere in the Midwest. Probably bestknown for his stage adaptation of Mitch Albom’s book Tuesdays with Morrie, Hatcher’s work is also known to mid-Hudson residents via a 2012 Mohonk Mountain Stage Company production of Ten Chimneys. His 2008 stage adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson’s The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde copped an Edgar Award nomination for Best Play by the Mystery Writers of America, and his screenwriting career has included authoring several episodes of the Peter Falk TV series Columbo. Tom Teti and Julie Sihilling round out the cast of Three Viewings, which will be directed by James Glossman. The curtain goes up at 8 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays, with matinées beginning at 2 p.m. on Saturday, June 21 and on Sundays throughout the run. Tickets cost $39 general admission Thursdays through Saturdays and $34 on Sundays. To order or for more info, call (845) 647-5511 or visit www. shadowlandtheatre.org. – Frances Marion Platt Three Viewings, Thursday-Saturday, June 20-21, 26-28, July 3-5, 8 p.m., Saturday, June 21, Sunday, June 22, 29 & July 6,2 p.m., $34/$39, Shadowland Theatre, 157 Canal Street, Ellenville; (845) 647-5511, www.shadowlandtheatre.org.

THE NARRATIVE IS nothing immensely original, but it has a lot of heart, engaging us emotionally much more than the average cartoon flick

High on the scale

How to Train Your Dragon 2 is a winning animated treat for all ages

S

chool’s out for the summer, which means that movie studios will soon be trotting out their biggest selection of family-friendly offerings since last Christmas. Time to scan the horizon for what’s new in the ever-evolving world of animation. With the exceptions of the truly innovative Lego Movie and the American release of last year’s gorgeous The Wind Rises from Hayao Miyazaki, this hasn’t been the most impressive year for animated films so far. Mr. Peabody and Sherman was pretty good. I let The Nut Job and Rio 2 slide by and will probably do the same with The Penguins of Madagascar, even though the squabbling penguins were definitely the best part of the first Madagascar movie. Though it came out at Thanksgiving of 2013, Disney’s Frozen dominated the cinemas through the early months of this year and can still be seen around; there are now even singalong versions for people who can’t get enough of boffo power ballads. Regular readers of Almanac’s movie reviews may recall that I wasn’t quite as taken with Frozen as the younger set all seem to be. It was a handsome-looking piece of animated art, I grant you; but the snowman who everybody else seems to think is so cute made me grind my teeth. If I had the drawing chops to be a New Yorker cartoonist, I’d create a panel showing a travel agency client asking, “Do you have any packages to someplace where there’s nobody singing ‘Let It Go’?� Winter is gone at last, and it’s time to move on in search of less frosty prospects.

Toothless and Hiccup in How to Train Your Dragon 2

Laika, the Oregon-based stop-motion production house that gave us both Coraline and ParaNorman – looks really intriguing. And that’s about it. Sadly, nothing more is expected from Aardman Animations until Shaun the Sheep (from the Wallace and Gromit stable) makes his feature debut next spring. The redoubtable Pixar is busy with three projects at last report, but the first of them, Inside Out, isn’t due for another full year. Studio Ghibli’s ghost story When Marnie Was There is slated for Japanese release in July, which means that American audiences probably won’t see it until early 2015. The status of Henry Selick’s latest project, The Shadow King, remains vague since Disney pulled the plug in 2012. Nor has there been any recent news about the Jim Henson Company’s dark, surreal reimagining of Pinocchio with Guillermo del Toro at the helm. So with the exception of The Boxtrolls, the only bright spot remaining on the 2014 animation horizon is the one that’s in theaters right now – and it comes as a considerable surprise that How to Train Your Dragon 2 is so darn good. For some reason, my fantasy-fan teenage moviegoing companion and I both passed on the first movie in the franchise, released in 2010. His lack of enthusiasm at the time may have been due to having read about half of Cressida Cowell’s books, on which the movies are loosely based. The books, according to my informant, are geared to an 8-to-12-year-old audience and thus heavily dependent on the sort of bodily-function humor that appeals to that demographic, as evidenced in

character names like Gobber the Belch, Snotlout and Phlegma. As we discovered to our delight last weekend, How to Train Your Dragon 2 dispenses with a lot of the gross-out gags, while preserving the familiar-toreaders names and the general competitive banter among the dragon-riding teens. The plot also parts ways radically with the adventures of awkward teenage dragonwrangler Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III as depicted in the books – which unsettled my reader companion until it occurred to him that he actually liked the movie’s story better. The narrative is nothing immensely original, but it has a lot of heart, engaging us emotionally much more than the average cartoon flick (though not on a scale of Up’s iconic weeper of an opening sequence). The characterizations are also not particularly deep. Compared to his book version – a puny kid in a belligerent culture who remains somewhat of a social outcast throughout the series, even after he figures out how to train his dragon Toothless instead of killing it like the rest of his Viking clan want him to do – movie Hiccup (Jay Baruchel) is a bit more of a Mary Sue. In sci-fi/fantasy parlance, that means a character who’s too talented to be true: the (usually fanfic) author’s wish-fulfillment version of himor herself. He’s depicted as a natural leader from the get-go. But we like him because he’s a peacemaker by instinct in a world where he’s constantly goaded to fight. To this reviewer’s hippie soul at least, it’s a refreshing message amongst the onslaught of action movies that idolize

NIGHT SKY

A black hole over Rosendale It’s easy to find – sort of

liberated by a mysterious figure who turns out to be his long-lost mother Valka (Cate Blanchett) – spoilery, I know, but it happens fairly early in the film and is hard not to mention. Thus Hiccup is supplied with the genetic explanation for why his personality differs so much from that of his gruff father Stoick the Vast (Gerard Butler), who is finally learning to appreciate him properly. Rendered in a touching dance sequence (to music that sounds a lot more Scots than Norse), the reunion of Valka and Stoick shows us the Viking chieftain’s sentimental side.

But mostly it’s about the dragons, who look wildly different and are drawn with expressive-enough features to endow each one with a distinct personality. The dragons are just cool. Well, dragons are always cool; but these take dragonmaking animated art to a whole new level. And there’s an epic battle between two enormous alpha dragons that puts the recent Godzilla remake to shame. From the very first scene – a dragonback race that looks like a mashup of Quidditch and Buzkashi, with live sheep substituted for dead goats – the movie is jam-packed

they’ll gobble up the universe if given the chance. But while the phrase “black hole” suggests a poorly lit piece of emptiness, they’re not holes at all. They’re places where matter is intensely present and crushed. Any object could become a black hole if squeezed enough for gravity to get so strong that a speed greater than light’s is needed to escape. Mount Everest would become a black hole if every boulder and truckload of its material were crammed into the size of an atomic nucleus. Black holes are scarce because matter normally does not voluntarily pack itself so firmly. The simplest mechanism involves obese stars – those more than 3 ½ times heavier than the Sun – going through a late-life crisis, when they cannot resist the gravitational urge to collapse. The smaller that one gets, the smaller it wants to be, until the escape velocity reaches 186,282 miles a second. Light then cannot leave, and the star effectively disappears from our universe. In a way, nothing really changes at that instant, except that no one there returns your text messages. The star continues shrinking, unaware that the outside world is now calling it a black hole. Cygnus X-1’s singularity – the collapsed star at its center – achieved black hole density when it became 3.7 miles wide. Yet the star shriveled still further, to the size of a beachball, then an appleseed. It continues to collapse until it occupies zero volume and achieves infinite density. Well, maybe. Our laws of science cannot deal with this, and many theorists think that some unknown process halts the collapse. No one knows. If the star is rotating, certain angles of approach permit hypothetical paths into other places or times. Enter exactly the right way and you’re suddenly at the senior prom on the planet Maltese. Surrounding the singularity is the event horizon: an invisible no-trespassing zone, which in Cygnus X-1’s case is 16 miles (26 kilometers) away. Step across it and you’re doomed. When we detect this black hole’s X-rays, we are hearing the final frantic yelps coming to us from the visible star’s stellar wind particles caught spiraling in the accretion disc…on their way to the unknown. – Bob Berman Want to know more?

hen darkness falls, look east. The brightest star in that direction is blue Vega. Directly below it hovers the absolute number-one strangest thing in the universe. First envisioned in 1798, black holes epitomize mystery and danger as no object ever known. The singularities at their cores are utterly unexplainable by science – prowlers in the inaccessible alleyways beyond our comprehension. We can ease our way into this shaky realm by exploring the surest black hole in the heavens. That’s the one below Vega, in the lovely constellation Cygnus the Swan. The middle of the swan’s neck is defined by the medium star Eta. Nearby, to the lower left of Eta, lies a faint star just bright enough to appear in binoculars. Something very fishy is going on here. First off, it whirls in a circle every 5.6 days, as if caught in the gravitational grasp of an immense object. Spectroscopic orbital analysis proves that its companion must weigh 8.7 times more than our Sun. Yet the celestial sumo wrestler that is twirling around this star like a puppet is strangely invisible. The most powerful telescopes reveal nothing there at all. Thus we have exhibit A: a heavy, under-luminous object. Next, this spot of sky emits an intense beam of X-rays, which is always a sign of violence. Physics tells us that anything spiraling towards a black hole should be whipped to such frenzied speeds that X-rays are thrown off. Sure enough, this is the most brilliant hard X-ray source in the sky. It’s such an important clue that this entity is usually known by its name in X-ray catalogues: Cygnus X-1. Tremendous changes in the X-ray intensity occur in a millisecond – a thousandth of a second, less than an eyeblink. Such near-instantaneous variations prove that it’s no larger than 1/20th the size of the Moon. Put all the evidence together and you’ve got a nearly ironclad case for a black hole. The dimension into which black holes take us is as bewildering as downtown Guatemala City. Yet many of their features are simple. They can have no magnetic field, for example, nor a reachable surface; and we use these facts to eliminate other tempting candidates like neutron stars (which must always weigh less than three Suns, in any case). If in-falling material were heading towards a neutron star, it would release energy upon impact. But a black hole’s in-falling atoms only create X-rays while in orbit; they never terminate with any sort of decisive bang. Black holes, undeniably, have had bad press. People distrust them, suspecting that

The show is part of the annual Hudson Valley Artists exhibition series run by the Dorsky.

ith increasing attention paid to science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education as the future for our schools, some are saying that it’s time to turn STEM into STEAM: The A is for art. “We know that the scientist’s laboratory and the artist’s studio are two of the last places reserved for open-ended inquiry,” writes Rhode Island School of Design president John Maeda. “Artists and scientists tend to approach problems with a similar open-mindedness and inquisitiveness. They make natural partners. With such complementary thinking, there is great potential when they collaborate from the offset, resulting in unexpected outcomes that can be exponentially more valuable than when they work apart.” The Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art on the campus of SUNY-New Paltz will celebrate “the laboratory-like environment of the artist studio, exemplifying the exploration and curiosity that is at the heart of many artistic practices” in a new exhibit, “Worlds of Wonder: Hudson Valley Artists 2014,” opening on Saturday, June 21. A curator’s gallery talk will be held at 4 p.m., with an opening reception following from 5 to 7 p.m. The exhibition will remain on view in the museum’s Alice and Horace Chandler and North Galleries through November 9. The show is part of the annual Hudson Valley Artists exhibition series, which has been one of the Dorsky Museum’s signature invitationals for more than 20 years. It is curated from an open call for emerging and mid-career artists who live in and have an active art practice in Columbia, Dutchess, Greene, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Sullivan, Ulster or Westchester counties and who have not had a major one-person museum

exhibition or an exclusive contract with a commercial gallery. Students are not eligible. “Worlds of Wonder: Hudson Valley Artists 2014” is curated by Ian Berry, director of the Tang Museum at Skidmore College. Berry selected 16 artists from a field of more than 320 applicants. In his call for submissions, Berry asked the artists to consider “the extent to which science and nature, architecture, design and history weave in and out of contemporary art-making” and how their work might bring disparate elements into a singular work, or cluster related images or objects. The exhibit, designed to appeal both intellectually and visually, includes photography by Kay Kenny and Mike McGregor, architectural drawings by Mison Kim, collage works by Fern T. Apfel and abstract paintings and constructions by Gabe Brown, Loren Eiferman, Reuben Moore, Douglas Navarra and Stephen Niccolls. Linda Stillman and Caitlin Parker’s artworks take their inspiration directly from the color and patterns found

in nature, and site-specific installations by Adriana Farmiga, Holly Hughes, Sean Sullivan, Judy Thomas and Angela Voulgarelis bring together a wide range of media, found objects and construction materials in beautiful and surprising ways. The Hudson Valley Artists Annual Purchase Award of $3,000 will be used to acquire one or more artworks from the exhibition for the museum’s permanent collection, funded through the Alice and Horace Chandler Art Acquisition Fund. With more than 9,000 square feet of exhibition space, the Dorsky Museum is one of the largest museums within the SUNY system. The Dorsky has presented more than 100 exhibitions since its dedication in 2001, including commissions, collection-based projects and in-depth studies of contemporary artists. Museum hours are Wednesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., closed holidays and intersessions. – Sharyn Flanagan “Worlds of Wonder: Hudson Valley Artists 2014” curator talk, Saturday, June 21, 4 p.m., opening reception 5-7 p.m.,

“Photowork 2014” on view at Poughkeepsie’s Barrett House The juried photo exhibition that Barrett House of Poughkeepsie hosts each year has long drawn a nation’s worth of artists. Partly that’s the result of the jurors chosen for the show, which will be running now through July 12. But also, it’s the result of a job well-done, over a period when the medium of photography has changed a great deal. The juror for this year’s installment, “Photowork 2014,” is Karen Haas, curator of photographs at the esteemed Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and author/curator of the upcoming book/exhibition Gordon Parks: Back to Fort Scott. For Barrett House, Haas has whittled down applicants to a choice selection of talented artists stretching the medium into new contexts and connotations. We see variations on still lifes from rural New Hampshire and new portraiture stylings from Arkansas,

She starts with something recognizably geographic and earthbound and takes it into the world of inner landscapes and pure pictorial (and hence psychological) abstraction. Grids appear beside dreamlike masses. The results are mesmerizing and thoughtful. The exhibition, “Topographies: Mapping History & Time,” also features work by Kate Katomski and other artists, with an emphasis on “the order and disorder of the industrial landscape.” “Topographies” can be seen through July 7 at the Betsy Jacaruso Studio & Gallery, in the Rhinebeck Courtyard (next to the

Chasing Ice to be screened in Poughkeepsie this Thursday

ilmmaker James Balog creates a stunning record of the world’s changing glaciers in the documentary Chasing Ice. The film will be screened on Thursday, June 19 at 7 p.m. at the Unitarian Fellowship of Poughkeepsie at 67 South Randolph Avenue. Admission is free. Traveling with a team of young adventurers across the brutal Arctic, Balog deploys time-lapse cameras to capture a multi-year record of ancient mountains of ice in motion as they disappear at a breathtaking rate. At first a skeptic about climate change and a cynic about the nature of academic research, Balog discovers evidence of our changing planet and risks his career and well-being in pursuit of the story. His hauntingly beautiful videos compress years into seconds as glaciers calve and disappear into seas. As the debate polarizes America and the intensity of natural disasters ramps up globally, Chasing Ice depicts a photojournalist on a mission to deliver both awareness and fragile hope to our carbon-powered planet.

P

rops to Tom Scholz and rock legends Boston for sounding exactly like Boston on their 2012 album Life, Love & Hope. Although never a fan of the band even in their ’70s heyday, I “went there” and was happy to find them in something like peak form: agreeable, anthemic and “soaring,” even though the late lead singer Brad Delp, who died in 2007, appears on only a handful of tracks. Back in the ’70s, Boston and the proto-pop-punks Cheap Trick would have seemed more adversaries than allies; but time has a way, does it not? Boston and Cheap Trick aim to fill the big shed at the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts on Friday, June 27. The gates open at 6:30 p.m. and the show starts at 7:30. Tickets cost $49.50, $77, $95 and $125 for reserved seating, $28.50 for the Lawn. For tickets and more information visit www.bethelwoodscenter.org/events/detail/boston.

Hyde Park hosts Roosevelt Reading Festival this Saturday The Henry A. Wallace Center at the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum will host the 11th annual Roosevelt Reading Festival on Saturday, June 21 from 9:45 a.m. to 5 p.m. The program will highlight the recently published work of 14 authors, including James Tobin, author of The

Man He Became: How FDR Defied Polio to Win the Presidency. Admission is free. The festival honors Roosevelt’s love of books. He was an avid collector, with more than 21,000 books in his library at the time of his death in April 1945. His favorite collecting topics included naval history, nature, sea exploration, Dutchess County history and the Hudson River. And while FDR read books almost purely for entertainment, it was often the physical appeal of a book that attracted him, too. He admired attractive bindings, cover designs, typefaces and paper, and even created a bookplate for his naval collection. The more valuable books were kept in protective slipcovers. By the 1930s, Roosevelt had run out of space for his collection. He held auctions to get rid of duplicate copies and less desirable volumes and began planning a permanent library on his Hyde Park estate. In six concurrent sessions taking place throughout the Roosevelt Reading Festival, 14 authors of works that draw upon the Roosevelt Library archives or focus on the Roosevelt era will make presentations, followed by questionand-answer sessions and book-signings. Copies of all of the authors’ books will be available for sale in the New Deal Store. Coffee and refreshments will be available, and attendees can visit the Library’s new permanent exhibition with free admission throughout the day. Regular admission will be charged for the National Park Service sites. This year’s Roosevelt Reading Festival authors include A.J. Baime (The Arsenal of Democracy: FDR, Detroit and an Epic Quest to Arm an America at War), Mark A. Bradley (A Very Principled Boy: The Life of Duncan Lee, Red Spy and Cold Warrior), Anthony R. Carrozza (William D. Pawley: The Extraordinary Life of the Adventurer, Entrepreneur and Diplomat Who Co-Founded the Flying Tigers), David P. Cross (Chasing History: One Man’s Road Trip through the Presidential Libraries), Michael Golay (America 1933:

The Great Depression, Lorena Hickock, Eleanor Roosevelt and the Shaping of the New Deal), Farah Jasmine Griffin (Harlem Nocturne: Women Artists and Progressive Politics during World War II), David Kaiser (No End Save Victory: How FDR Led the Nation into War), John F. Kasson (The Little Girl Who Fought the Great Depression: Shirley Temple and 1930s America), Ira Katznelson (Fear Itself: The New Deal and the Origins of Our Time), Harvey J. Kaye (The Fight for the Four Freedoms: What Made FDR and the Greatest Generation Truly Great), Dan McMillan (How Could This Happen? Explaining the Holocaust), Cathryn J. Prince (Death in the Baltic: The World War II Sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff ), Amity Shlaes (The Forgotten Man Graphic Edition: A New History of the Great Depression) and a special afternoon presentation by James Tobin (The Man He Became: How FDR Defied Polio to Win the Presidency).

Cornell Co-op presents Small Grains Field Day next Monday in Red Hook and Kingston The Hudson Valley played a major historic role in small grains production in early America and during the Revolutionary War; but following construction of the Erie Canal and settling of the western US, small grains production left for the plains of western New York and the greater Midwest. Interest in Hudson Valleygrown small grains has recently resurfaced, however, with emerging markets seeking to source local grains for their baked goods, brews and spirits. In response to this quickly growing market, Cornell Cooperative Extension of Ulster County will host its second annual Small Grains Field Day on Monday, June 23. “Reinventing the Hudson Valley Breadbasket” will take place in two locations. The morning presentation will be at Migliorelli Farm at 72 Rockefeller Lane in Red Hook from 10 a.m. to 12 noon. View Cornell’s Hudson Valley regional winter barley, spelt, wheat, emmer and einkorn variety trials and demonstration plots and learn about Cornell’s initiative to select regionally adapted small grains varieties for local and specialty markets with Dr.

Mark Sorrells. Learn about disease and pest considerations for small grains with Dr. Gary Bergstrom and Ken Wise. The afternoon program will take place at the Hudson Valley Farm Hub at 2504 Route 209 in Kingston, beginning with a catered lunch from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m., followed by viewing Cornell’s Hudson Valley regional spring wheat and barley variety trials. Learn about post-harvest grain equipment and considerations for beginning and small-scale growers with Dr. Elizabeth Dyck of OGRIN and Robert Perry of NOFA-NY. Learn about small grains-related research and other initiatives at the Hudson Valley Farm Hub. The cost for both programs is $15 per person if preregistered by Friday, June 20 or $20 after that date. Register three people and get a fourth registration free. There will be no refunds. To register, visit www.cceulster.org. For more information, call (845) 340-3990 or e-mail cad266@ cornell.edu.

And yes, you read that right: The café is parked, because it’s in the form of a custom-built mobile food cart that can be moved to and from its location on Stone Mountain Farm, just off the Rail Trail and down the hill from the Center for Symbolic Studies. The cart – containing the kitchen – is parked under a tree and surrounded by an assortment of café tables and benches at which to eat. Being entirely outdoors, the Rail Trail Café is weatherdependent. It will close if it rains and will be a seasonal location, open mid-May through October, depending on how early the temperatures drop in the autumn.

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

A question of balance Your garden is no place to be doctrinaire

G

ood gardening is not religion. Balancing and rebalancing is what’s needed, not the constraints of dogma. You want to garden naturally? Dogma would dictate doing nothing – in which case you wouldn’t have a garden. You want to grow only native plants? Then forget about tomatoes, apples and tulips. And are the plants you want to grow truly native on your “back forty,� or down the road where the soil is slightly wetter in summer? Gooseberries and chickens are what turned my thoughts to the need for balance today. I grow over a dozen varieties of gooseberries: dessert gooseberries with flavors akin to those of grape, plum and apricot. I also “grow� seven bantam chickens; they provide decoration, insect control, eggs and some degree of entertainment. On the down side, chickens’ scratching in my garden beds in search of insects and seeds messes up what could be a very neat and orderly space (or, looked at in a more positive light, the chickens’ scratching adds a cottagey blowsiness to the scene). A fourfoot-high fence surrounding the two vegetable gardens keeps the chickens out and those gardens productive. An 18-inch-high fence around some other garden areas was meant, if not to definitely keep the poultry out of those areas, at least to make them do their own balancing, weighing the benefit of entering the fenced area against having to vault the fence. (Clipped wings tip the balance somewhat more in favor of not vaulting the fence, but not enough.) A few days ago I noticed that this year’s especially good crop of gooseberries-in-themaking were no longer in the making; most were gone. Gooseberries rarely suffer from late frost, at least here, so that could not be the reason. Gooseberries do not need crosspollination; and anyway, I have plenty of varieties for cross-pollination and bumblebees were buzzing all over the bushes in bloom. So pollination issues could not be the problem either. I lay blame for the paltry crop of gooseberries squarely on the shoulders of the chickens, who have been hopping the low fence around the planting for weeks. Mostly, they seemed to be scratching the ground beneath and around the gooseberry plants, but I wouldn’t put it past them to help themselves to berries also. So what to do? Putting a four-foot-high fence around the gooseberry beds would keep the chickens at bay, but with all the other fencing here, the scene could begin to look like a prison. The chickens could become soup. Or I could allow the chickens their indulgence.

away fuel for winter and the following spring. A good balance is struck by allowing about eight weeks for harvest. After the end of June, spears emerge and then unfold into those ferny fronds which, left untouched until they turn brown in autumn, have time to create energy and store away energy in the roots for another eight weeks of harvest the following year. With warm weather, asparagus needs to be harvested every couple of days or so. At each harvest, I cut down each and every spear, including those that are too skinny for eating or those that escaped previous harvest and have begun to unfold ferny foliage. Thorough harvest not only keeps new, fat spears emerging, but also DION OGUST | ALMANAC WEEKLY helps control asparagus beetles. These beetles feed on those early emerging spears. Cut all the spears early in the season and the beetles starve. If you have never seen the beetles, look on the spears for small black specks. Those are beetle eggs. Just wipe or hose them off, or go ahead and eat them with the spears. Asparagus and eggs is a classic combination; admittedly, the eggs for this combination are chicken eggs. Perhaps the chickens should stay. Come visit my garden – and the garden of Teri Condon in Highland – on June 21 between 12 noon and 1 p.m. as part of the Open Days program of the Garden Conservancy. Admission costs $5. For more information, go to www.gardenconservancy.org/opendays/open-days-schedule/openday/884-ulster-county-openday or call (888) 842-2442. – Lee Reich Any gardening questions?

Another balancing act: Roses, now in bloom, look great either on the plant or in a vase. For roses that bloom all season long, cutting the blossoms coaxes new ones forth: a win/win situation, except that towards the end of the season, it’s best that plants get ready for winter by slowing down and toughening up. Letting rose blossoms remain on the plant and go on to make fruits – rose hips – helps slow them down.

FIND GREAT SAVINGSÂť AT KEIL EQUIPMENT.

A couple of weeks ago, a visitor looking at my asparagus patch commented on how nice it was that I still had asparagus to harvest. Of course asparagus was still coming on strong; it was only early June! Balance again. Asparagus is a perennial vegetable whose spring spears are fueled by energy stored over winter in the plants’ roots. For a good asparagus harvest, the goal is to balance spear harvest against the plants’ need to pack away extra energy, created by photosynthesis, in their roots. Greenery is needed for photosynthesis. If spears are harvested all season long, or even for too much of the season, roots are left with insufficient energy reserves going into winter. The result: Plants either die or push forth few, spindly spears the following spring. So the tactic is to harvest for a period in spring short enough to let plants start packing

Stefan Bolz booksigning at Inquiring Minds in New Paltz You’ve seen my review and mentions of Stefan Bolz’s book The Three Feathers, as well as his writing prompts in my June Kids’ Almanac columns. Now you can see him in person at the first public reading and signing of his new book, The Fourth Sage. Get a glimpse of the world of 15-year-old Aries, who lives in a world run by corporations, and how she comes dangerously close to uncovering the clandestine source of power for this empire. Bolz’s event takes place on Friday, June 20 at 7 p.m. at Inquiring Minds, located at 6 Church Street in New Paltz. For more information, call (845) 255-8300 or visit www.inquiringbooks.com.

Clearwater’s Great Hudson River Revival returns to Croton Point Let’s say that you’re looking to attend an event that cool families go to. On the other hand, perhaps you steer clear of “cool” and want to be among grassroots activists who are passionate about the environment. Or maybe you love festivals with good music. This weekend’s Clearwater Festival hits all of these notes and more as it honors and celebrates all things Hudson River. It is the largest annual environmental celebration in the US! Clearwater takes place on Saturday and Sunday, June 21 and 22; the gates open at 9 a.m. You can read on the festival website about the extensive children’s activities, accessibility supports and more, including tributes and background on the Clearwater movement’s founder, Pete Seeger, along with his wife, Toshi Seeger,

Fire & Ice with Mad Science & Tween Yoga Our local libraries offer so much enrichment for children in our community, and a number of them have summer reading kickoff programs, as well as classes and workshops throughout the summer. Registration takes place now for many of these special opportunities, including great stuff for tweens and teens who may have aged out of the camps that they’ve attended for years. Have you heard about the Gardiner Library’s Tween/Teen Yoga or Zumba summer classes? Or the Kingston Library’s Fire and Ice presentation with Mad Science and party this Saturday, June 21 at 1 p.m.? Visit http://gardinerlibrary. org or www.kingstonlibrary.org for more information about these events, or the website to the library nearest you. Summer is an exciting time to connect

I pledge to read the printed word It’s a movement that’s catching on. It’s not hard to see why. Studies show readers retain more when they read on paper compared to a screen. And in a world bent on speeding us up, it’s nice to sit back and relax with the paper. That’s why ulster publishing—while exploring the web—remains committed to our newspapers, which are printed sustainably on recycled paper when possible. r e a d t h e p r i n t e d w o r d. o r g

Children’s Play Day at Clermont in Germantown For those of you who are interested in taking your family to a local historic site but unsure about how your kids will fare in the museumlike environment, I’m pleased to report that Clermont hosts children’s events throughout the year, including this weekend’s Children’s Play Day.

Walk against postpartum depression Climb out of the Darkness: These five words seek to raise awareness and offer hope to women and their families who are affected by maternal mood disorders such as postpartum depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, psychosis and pregnancy depression. As more attention is given to some of this invisible pain experienced by so many pregnant and postpartum mothers, resources are shared, treatments are pursued and feelings of isolation and self-destruction are replaced by healthy, loving feelings toward self and child. Climb out of the Darkness is also a call to action. On Saturday, June 21, the longest day of the year, women and supporters across the US and in six countries are climbing out of the darkness in a variety of ways to shine a light on this important issue, whether it’s in the form

June 19, 2014 of a group hike, a family stroll, a private walk in the woods or even a stationary “couch climber.” Interested participants are invited to fundraise for Postpartum Progress, a national nonprofit that raises awareness for pregnant and new Moms with perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. I learned about this weekend’s Team Hudson Valley walk through the blog of Rebecca Wong, psychotherapist and personal coach, where she posted local team leader Mariah Warren’s moving story about her own experience: http://rebeccawonglcsw.wordpress. com/2014/06/06/climb-out-of-thedarkness. The walk takes place this Saturday, June 21 at 10 a.m. at the Cornish Estate, located on Route 9D in Cold Spring. The event is free, although fundraising is encouraged, but participants over 16 years must register. For more information about the Team Hudson Valley walk, send an e-mail to gaelcat@comcast.net. To learn more about Climb out of the Darkness, visit http://postpartumprogress.org.

Hudson Valley Pizza Fest at Mid-Hudson Civic Center After happily pizza-ing my way through another softball and baseball season, especially with Rino’s Grandma’s pie, I’m looking for fresh excuses to eat more of that delectable combination of sauce, cheese and dough.

“Cooking with Fresh Berries” class for kids at Terrapin in Rhinebeck I’ll be honest – they had me at the title: Kids’ Taste & Talk at the Terrapin. But it gets even better. Kids aged 8 to 12 years spend some time with Chef Josh in the dining room, answering questions such as: “What’s good food?” “Where do we get it?” “Why should we eat it?” The kids must be accompanied by an adult, who can hang out in the Red Bistro area during the program. The program is completely free, and no reservations are needed. Wonderful, right? The next program takes place this Sunday, June 22 at 1 p.m.: “Cooking with Fresh Berries.” Terrapin is located at 6426 Montgomery Street in Rhinebeck. For more information, call (845) 876-3330 or visit www.terrapinrestaurant.com.

Fun volunteer opportunities for youth Volunteering is not just a chance to do some good for the community; it’s a scheduled reason to get out there, or just outside, to support a cause you believe in, and to make a few like-minded friends who might help stretch your regular social circle. Students could even count the volunteer hours toward an internship or community service. Here are three familyfriendly volunteer opportunities taking place this week: The Mohonk Preserve Family and Youth Volunteer Recruitment Event takes place on Saturday, June 21 at the Mohonk Preserve Visitors’ Center from 12 noon to 4 p.m. Did you know that your volunteer ID grants you access to the Preserve during your volunteer activities, as well as family recreational activities? The recruitment event includes demonstrations, games, a guided hike and raffles, and is free and open to the public of all ages. The Mohonk Preserve Visitors’ Center is located at 3197 Route 44/55 in Gardiner. For more information, call (845) 2550919, extension 1269, or visit http:// mohonkpreserve.org. The ninth annual Midtown Make a Difference Day takes place on Saturday, June 21 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Franklin Street in Kingston, adjacent to the Kingston Library. This year’s theme is, “Ready, Set, Go! Making a Difference Starts Today!” Activities include education and career exploration, dance and fitness workshops, performances by the Kingston Boys and Girls Club’s Glee Club and Drum Line and more. Attendees interested in working on a service project can paint a fence, build picnic tables for use in local parks and plant seedlings in the Hodge Center Children’s Garden. The event is open to all ages, and all activities and refreshments are free. For

more information, call (845) 331-1110 or e-mail mweiss@fowinc.org. On Wednesday, June 25 from 3 to 4 p.m., the Adriance Library hosts an orientation for teen summer volunteers between 13 and 18 years old. Could volunteering at the library mean that you get first dibs on the new books that come in, or that you know which book topped the formal complaints for removal from US libraries?* The volunteer orientation event is free, no registration or reservations are necessary to attend and light refreshments will be served. The Adriance Library is located at 93 Market Street in Poughkeepsie. For more information, call (845) 485-3445 or visit http://poklib.org. (*Answer: Captain Underpants.

Kids’ Almanac Writes Kids’ Almanac thanks Stefan Bolz for supplying writing prompts during the month of June. This week, Stefan published his third book. It’s called The Fourth Sage. It’s about a young girl who fights against a corporation that has taken away everyone’s freedom. Here is his prompt for the week. Remember to post your piece on the Almanac Weekly Facebook page: www.facebook.com/pages/almanacweekly/287633831270607. Prompt: “Close your eyes. Imagine you go into an elevator. You push the button for B-10 – that’s the lowest level deep underground. You watch the floor numbers change: B-1, B-2...B-8, B-9, B-10. The door opens. What do you see?” Start writing.

Guided butterfly walk at Cary Institute in Millbrook It’s the time of year when I like to order a butterfly kit for the kids to hatch and release. In the meantime, on Sunday, June 22 at 10 a.m., the Cary Institute offers “Butterflies and Skippers: Tracking Nature’s Clock,” a guided walk through the Institute’s fields and trails to learn about their habitats and phenology. I should probably attend this one so I can learn what a skipper is. Admission to the event is free, but registration is required. The Cary Institute is located at 2917 Sharon Turnpike in Millbrook.

Hudson Valley Real Estate SERIOUSLY?

Being “serious” in real estate is knowing how to get attention for the homes you represent. It’s gratifying that the (handsome) caricature of me in my ads has caused such a stir across the region. We receive an unprecedented number of comments that our ads are enjoyable to read and interesting. We owe it all to the Aflac Duck, the Geico Gecko, the Travelocity Gnome, Flo from Progressive, the Michelin Tire Man and so many MULTI-BILLION dollar companies that have realized it is a good thing to inject humor and a memorable icon into their promotions; and it works, boy does it work! So put yourselves in our hands, we know how to get attention for your home, and we do it with good humor and a smile, seriously.

GROOMED FOR SUCCESS This country home on 1.7 acres with 4 bedrooms 2 baths, pond and stream and natural hot tub is just waiting for you.

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.

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.

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. He must’ve been in the carrier for days because he suffered open sores on his legs as he lay in his own waste. But Belvedere has recovered and loves people. 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.
