1. Chris Botti plays the Bardavon A jazz player with a truly global purview, trumpeter/composer Chris Botti is one of the very few pop superstars that the genre has produced in the last few decades. While he always keeps it accessible and user-friendly, there is no denying the man’s substance, especially in his wide-ranging, integral fusions of world sounds and Western

music. Smooth jazz be damned; 2012’s Impressions is a quietly dazzling collection of orchestral settings that interprets Chopin, Piazzolla and Randy Newman (three of my favorites) alongside an array of sympathetic originals.

His touch is light, but Chris Botti is no lightweight. He is also a looker.

Chris Botti performs at the Bardavon on Thursday, June 25 at 8 p.m. Tickets cost $57 to $85 based on location and can be purchased at the Bardavon box office at 35 Market Street in Poughkeepsie, (845)

6. American Travelling Morrice troupe brings Morris dance to region Mix up some whirling music with a quieting edge, bearded men in white, red sashes and flowered hats, bells on leggings and a series of precise steps with sticks getting bonked periodically. There’s no way around it; Morris dance is a radical thing.

Trace its English roots back long enough

June 25, 2015 to have William Shakespeare consider it a tradition, then tie it into similar dances in Germany and other parts of Europe, with a possibility that “Morris” may have once been “Moorish,” and you cast a wide enough net to understand the surreal phenomenon’s continuing draw today – as well as its ripples into square dancing, round dancing and Catskill cloggers.

At the same time, the appearance this summer of a regionwide American Travelling Morrice troupe, originally composed of men from Binghamton and Boston but now including dancers from all over the globe, makes sense in this widened perspective. They’ll be dancing through western Massachusetts and all over Columbia County over the coming weeks. And if you’ve never seen the off artform practiced live (and yes, we do recommend that you run to YouTube as soon as you read this!), check out its “Harlem Valley tour” in the coming weeks.

It all kicks off the morning of Sunday, July 26 at the Austerlitz Blueberry Festival, with a very busy schedule of 45-minute dance performances through Saturday, August 1, including stops at the Norman Rockwell Museum and Red Lion Inn in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, the Spencertown County and Hawthorne Valley Stores, Taconic State Park in Copake Falls, the Old Chatham Café, the Kinderhook Village Green, Art Omi in Ghent, several spots around Hudson and the Crossroads Brewery in Athens.

Seen once, you’ll want to see it all again.

Seen twice, it’ll enter your dreams. After that, you’ll likely be dancing Morris-style as well.

7. “Excavate” exhibition opens this Sunday in Rosendale Rosendale’s Century House is a quiet entrance to several worlds.

Many know it as the elegant A. J. Snyder home and estate, with the sculptural gateway depicting the Brooklyn Bridge; others as the place that one passes by when getting to the fabulous Widow Jane Mine, home to so many truly underground performance classics of recent decades.

It’s also a key to the consistently cuttingedge Rosendale arts scene, as important as the theater on Main Street, the various

June 25, 2015 cool galleries that have come and gone over the years and even Women’s Studio Workshop up the hill – both as inspiration and, as kicks in for another season this Sunday, home to one of the region’s growing number of outdoor sculpture exhibitions. “Excavate� is what this year’s collection of works is being called. Last year, the Century House Historical Society inaugurated the sculpture shows with a collection curated by noted Rosendalebased artist Laura Moriarty, who put together “Mined� through the talents of various artists brought in to “mine� the property’s mix of wooded copses, lawnlike expanses, ruins and cavern entrances. The result was an instant, if somewhat “in-theknow,� success.

This year, a call for curators resulted in the current show, which curator Laura Johansen, a New York-based commercial photographer with a growing fine art pedigree and countless friends throughout the Hudson Valley art scene, says is all about the “Excavate� theme: “to expose to view by, or as if by, digging away a covering.� The artists featured in this exhibition include such stalwarts as Heather Hutchison, Kathy Goodell, Micah Blumenthal, Chelsea Culpepper, John Cleater and Brian Dewan – all doing site-specific work in what’s expected to be a cool, Minimalist and thought-provoking manner.

An opening for the season’s sculpture show takes place this Sunday, June 28 from 1 to 4 p.m.; the exhibit will then be visitable during the Century House’s weekly public hours on Sunday afternoons. Talk about bringing the local underground into Sunday view!  – Paul Smart “Excavate� outdoor sculpture exhibit opening, Sunday, June 28, open Sundays through Labor Day, 1-4 p.m., $5, Century House Historical Society/Snyder Estate, 668 Route 213, Rosendale; (845) 6589900, www.centuryhouse.org.

Byrdcliffe’s seventh annual Woodstock House Tour House tour benefits are all the rage these days, but who can beat the one being offered this weekend by the Woodstock Guild? It will include a number of never-before-publicly-seen contemporary houses with gorgeous views as well as historic Woodstock homes, including Ralph and Jane Whitehead’s historic White Pines in the Guild’s Byrdcliffe arts colony. After all, the Guild, and town, have become an enclave of architects and designers these days, as well as various other creative sorts.

Never been to a topnotch Woodstock home? We’re not talking the stone houses of the Stone Ridge area here, or even the Victorians of Kingston, but a sense of style risen out of the Whiteheads’ love for Arts and Crafts Movement ideology and a wish to engage the natural mountain scenery and forest, as much as something more classically interior. The results are ruggedly handsome yet rife with idiosyncratic artistic touches, and usually plenty of locally made art, both Modernist and more contemporary.

Within the context of this tour, which runs from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and concludes with a cocktail reception in one of the homes from 5 to 7 p.m., one will get a full gamut of styles over the past century, all burnished and accessorized with today’s sense of the aesthetic necessity – as well as a chance to help support this truly original local treasure, out of which so much of our regional cultural identity has come. – Paul Smart Byrdcliffe’s seventh annual Woodstock House Tour, Saturday, June 27, 11 a.m.-5 p.m., $50/$75/$100, tickets/map pickup, 10:30 a.m.-12 noon, Byrdcliffe Shop, 36 Tinker Street, Woodstock; (845) 679-2079, www.woodstockguild.org/ housetour.html.

The Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum will host “Presidents on Film�: a film-commentary presentation and book-signing with Ernest Giglio, author of Here’s Looking at You: Hollywood, Film & Politics. Giglio will discuss the evolution of Hollywood’s attitude on film towards American presidents and their administrations.

The program will be held at 7 p.m. on Thursday, June 25, 2015 in the Henry A. Wallace Center at the FDR Presidential Library and Home. This event is free and open to the public.

Now in its updated and expanded fourth edition, Here’s Looking at You: Hollywood, Film & Politics examines how the tangled relationship between Hollywood’s global film industry and the politics of federal and state governments manifests itself in the real world of political campaigns and in the fictional world of Hollywood films.

The book contradicts the film industry’s assertion that it produces nothing but entertainment. While it is true that the vast majority of Hollywood films are strictly commercial ventures, hundreds of movies – from Birth of a Nation to The Help to recreated stories like Argo and Zero Dark Thirty and historical pieces

“Trunks and Travel: A 19th-Century Journey” in Stone Ridge The Stone Ridge Library will host an interactive lecture titled “Trunks and Travel: A 19th-Century Journey,” on Sunday, June 28 at 2 p.m. at the Marbletown Community Center with speaker Mary Jeanne Bialas. The lecture, which is free and open to the public, is part of the Speakers in the Humanities program, sponsored by the New York Council for the Humanities.

Light refreshments will be served.

The audience is part of the program in this lecture, which brings to life the customs, sights and sounds of travel in late-19th-century New York State.

Exploring the preparations of a wealthy Victorian industrialist and his wife as they get ready to travel, participants learn about transportation modes, rules and

etiquette of the road, proper attire and the era’s social expectations.

Trunks and satchels are packed and ready to go, filled with antique and vintage undergarments, clothing, shoes and valuable accessories for a successful trip to anywhere in 1890. (There’s no such thing as packing lightly for a wealthy Victorian.)

As the trip progresses, joys and hardships become the main focus. The audience will experience firsthand how life was different back then, by unpacking the trunks and other luggage and comparing the needs and standards of Victorian Era travel to today’s travel customs.

The program also includes an exhibit of post-Civil War travel garments for men, women and children.

As director of Victorian Whispers, an educational program development agency, Mary Jeanne Bialas has made New York State history come alive for audiences of all ages. As a secondary English/Drama instructor for 34 years, she developed extensive living history programs, enriched by her background in costume design and love for antique clothing. For more information, go to www.thevictorianwhispers.com.

Since its launch in 1983, the Council’s Speakers in the Humanities program has brought distinguished scholars on a wide range of humanities topics to

Each year, hundreds of non-profit organizations and community groups take advantage of this program, including community centers, religious organizations, museums, historical societies and libraries. The Speakers program is an easy, affordable way for organizations to bring top humanities programming to their community.

Beacon’s River Pool reopens this week There was a time when nothing felt quite as elegant as swimming in a city river, taking in the summer sun with the hum of urban life thrumming all around one. In Paris, the Piscine Deligny hosted kings and their queens, and inspired more bourgeois swimming pools in the busy Seine that lasted until recent decades, when they started filtering the waters used in them. In New York, floating baths lined the Hudson and East Rivers from just after the Civil War into the Depression years, when the river was declared too dirty for such things.

Now, they’re all starting to make a comeback, in New York City, Paris and even London. And much of the inspiration is coming from the River Pool at Beacon,

started a little under a decade ago encouragement from the late Pete and Toshi Seeger, who recalled those earlier times farther down the Hudson.

Overseen by a non-profit organization, the Beacon pool – located off what is now known as Pete and Toshi Seeger Riverfront Park – is a 20-footdiameter pool that’s two-and-a-half feet deep, put in place for river swimming from early July to September, and currently fundraising for a larger pool (in addition to the $40,000 per annum that its present incarnation needs for survival).

Talk about a cool way of hooking into a grand heritage, as well as a cool future that calls for that new Brooklyn river pool by next summer, as well as a major inThames presence in central London over the coming decade!

As its big fundraiser each year, the River Pool at Beacon hosts its 12th annual Great Newburgh-to-Beacon Hudson River Swim on Saturday, July 18 starting at 10:15 a.m., where each swimmer makes his or her way from Newburgh to the Seeger Park for commitments of $100 up per person, and a full regatta of helpers and emergency workers to ensure no mishaps. It’s a thrilling event, from the sight of all those ready swimmers in Newburgh, goggled and oiled up, to the massive jump-in and their exhausted finishes across the way.

A rain date has been set for July 19. But the pool opens in the coming week!

The movie tells the story of Riley (voiced by Kaitlin Dias), a happy, well-adjusted 11-year-old girl with loving parents (Diane Lane and Kyle MacLachlan) who loses her verve after the family moves from Minnesota, where she excelled at hockey, to the drabbest, dingiestlooking version of San Francisco ever to appear on film. Or rather, it tells the story of five characters who live inside Riley’s head, vying for control of her emotions: bubbly yellow Joy (Amy Poehler), her team captain; schlumpy blue Sadness (Phyllis Smith); volatile red Anger (Lewis Black); panicky purple Fear (Bill Hader); and snarky green Disgust (Mindy Kaling).

ot that Pixar’s latest animated feature release needs any help from me, substantially beating Avatar’s record for the highest-grossing opening weekend of any movie ever that wasn’t a sequel to something; nevertheless, add my voice to the chorus of critics praising Pete Docter’s Inside Out to the skies. As befits a movie whose audacious goal is to render the emotional workings of the human mind in colorful symbols that even young children can intuitively grasp, all the while staying more or less scientifically accurate, Inside Out is fiendishly smart and subversively funny. Most impressively, it sparkles with originality – a quality all-too-rarely seen in a movie market that is deadeningly reluctant to risk millions on anything but a triedand-true formula.

The movie tells the story of Riley (voiced

by Kaitlin Dias), a happy, well-adjusted 11-year-old girl with loving parents (Diane Lane and Kyle MacLachlan) who loses her verve after the family moves from Minnesota, where she excelled at hockey, to the drabbest, dingiest-looking version of San Francisco ever to appear on film. Or rather, it tells the story of five characters who live inside Riley’s head, vying for control of her emotions: bubbly yellow Joy (Amy Poehler), her team captain; schlumpy blue Sadness (Phyllis Smith); volatile red Anger (Lewis Black); panicky purple Fear (Bill Hader); and snarky

green Disgust (Mindy Kaling).

Things don’t go well for Riley in her new home. Dad’s new job with an IT startup means that he’s never around, while Mom is constantly on the phone trying to find out where the moving company sent their worldly goods. So Riley sleeps on the floor in a sleeping bag; breaks down in front of the class on her first day in an urban school where nobody looks blonde and Midwestern like her; loses her nerve at hockey tryouts and doesn’t make the team; finds out that her best friend back home has already replaced her with a new BFF. Before long she has blown up at her Dad, gotten depressed and then apathetic. Eventually she starts plotting to run away from home and hop a bus back to Minnesota.

But that’s all external stuff, commanding little screentime. What we see, mostly, is how it all plays out in Riley’s brain, where spheres of memory colored by the emotions attached to their formation are neatly stacked on shelves reminiscent of the Hall of Prophecies in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (only they’re vibrant and candy-colored instead of gloomy and foreboding). Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear and Disgust take turns

Inside Out is fiendishly smart and subversively funny.

Most impressively, it sparkles with originality

presiding over the instrument console that prompts Riley to take actions, and the downturn in the preteen’s social circumstances parallels the increasing meddling of Sadness in what was once primarily Joy’s domain.

Things go seriously awry when Joy tries to wrest some happy core memories away from Sadness, whose blue touch would taint them permanently, and both of them get sucked into a vacuum tube that strands them in the labyrinth of Riley’s long-term memory. With Anger, Fear and Disgust at the controls, the girl starts making worse and worse decisions, and her mental “islands of personality� begin to crumble one by one into an abyss of forgotten experiences. Joy and Sadness have to find their way back to Headquarters, enlisting the dubious help of Riley’s goofy, half-forgotten imaginary friend Bing Bong (Richard Kind).

the errant emotions through an obstacle course of humorous detours. Taking an ill-considered shortcut through Abstract Thought, they are transformed first into personages from Cubist paintings and then, in an hommage to Edwin Abbott’s classic book Flatland, into twodimensional shapes. Apprehended by security guards after Bing Bong wreaks some havoc, they are locked into the scary Subconscious, “where they send all the troublemakers.� Its entry corridor is a notso-enchanted broccoli forest (Disgust’s specialty), and its most terrifying occupant (naturally) a gigantic clown recollected from some preschool birthday party. In an effort to wake Riley up and get her Train of Thought back on track, Joy and Sadness visit the “Dream Productions� movie studio and try to manipulate her dream imagery, with chaotic results.

Like all of Pixar’s best work, there’s plenty of layering here to keep grownups’ minds occupied while the kids enjoy the cartoon. But you don’t need to be able to remember the difference in memory storage function between the amygdala and the hippocampus to derive a basic understanding of how the human mind works from watching Inside Out. And the narrative packs a true emotional punch: Adults and children alike are guaranteed to shed a tear when Riley’s imaginary friend has to sacrifice himself to propel Joy back into Headquarters.

Perhaps the most profound telling detail of this story is the respect with which the role of Sadness is treated. Joy may be more fun to hang around with, but it’s only through shared sorrow that people learn compassion and form truly deep interpersonal bonds, in which lies Riley’s salvation. Not since Docter’s previous Pixar masterpiece Up, with its heartbreaking opening montage, has an animated film carried so much emotional nuance. It’s accessible enough to entrance the very young and sophisticated enough to engage the irredeemable adult.

Whether you’re 8 or 80, this movie will make you laugh, but it’ll also move you; I guarantee it. Pixar has hit one out of the park once again. – Frances Marion Platt

B

ard SummerScape brings topnotch performers in the fields of music – including classical, opera and cabaret – as well as theater, dance and cinema to the Bard College campus each summer, and this year is expanding the season from seven to eight weeks. The extravaganza is organized around the Bard Music Festival, which each year examines the life, work and cultural milieu of a single composer through concerts of both orchestral and chamber music, pre-concert talks and panel discussions.

This year’s focus will be on Carlos Chavéz (1899-1978), offering “The Musical Voice of Mexico” from August 7 to 9 and “Mexico, Latin America and Modernism” from August 13 to 16. Eleven concert programs, built thematically and spaced over the two weekends, address such themes as the relationship between the Latin American and US musical scenes; the role of the European émigrés; the legacy and influence of Spain; Mexican musical traditions; Chávez’s work as conductor; and his place among the other outstanding Latin composers of the 20th century.

The first time that the Music Festival has ever focused on a Latin American composer, with the stated intent of “addressing questions of American identity and of marginalization by the classical community,” this is a bit of a departure for an institution that usually

concerns itself with dusting off and reexamining well-known European masters and peering at them from fresh angles. Although by the mid-20th century Chavéz had established an international reputation as Mexico’s foremost composer and conductor, he remains rather an unknown quantity outside the circles of classical music scholars. A populist and nationalist known for incorporating his homeland’s many strains of indigenous music into his compositions, Chavéz was also a sophisticated, forward-looking, globetrotting academic who championed abstract, polyphonic and electronic music.

Doubtless we will all learn quite a bit more this summer about this man, who also founded and toured widely with Mexico’s National Symphony Orchestra.

Land of the flying wombats Outrageous tall tale comes to vivid life in Shipwrecked! at Ellenville’s Shadowland Theatre

Most of us have heard of Baron Munchausen, the fictionalized version of an 18th-century German aristocrat known for grossly exaggerating his exploits in the Russo-Turkish War. Statues of the character poised in the midst of various improbable plights dot European cities; Terry Gilliam made a very funny movie about him in 1988; an asteroid was dedicated to him in 1994, commemorating his claimed trip to the Moon; a subtype of hypochondriac disorder is even named after him. But how many of us know about Louis de Rougemont, another prime candidate for the title of World’s Greatest Liar?

The man born Henri Louis Grin in Switzerland in 1847 was by all accounts a loser, a stick-at-naught, a wouldbe inventor and entrepreneur whose brainwaves always quickly fizzled along with his bouts of employment. But he managed to become a wealthy man for a while by publishing accounts of his imaginary travels in a British magazine, claiming to have been shipwrecked and marooned on an island off the coast of New Guinea, then sailed to Australia and lived for three decades among an aboriginal tribe who revered him as a god. His outrageous claims were swiftly questioned, and witnesses to his actual whereabouts during those years came forward to expose his lies. Poetic justice prevailed, and Grin died in poverty in 1921.

Playwright Donald Margulies, who won a Pulitzer Prize for Dinner with Friends, turned the tale-within-atale of de Rougemont’s implausible memoirs into a delightful stagework called Shipwrecked! An Entertainment: The Amazing Adventures of Louis de Rougemont, as Told by Himself. He adheres fairly strictly to the facts of Grin’s life, meteoric success and equally abrupt plunge into infamy as a framing device for the enactment of a most entertaining tall tale. And the Shadowland Theatre in Ellenville has brought that play to life in a terrific production that pulls the curtain

back from the trickeries of stagecraft, fully exploiting the wealth of implicit metaphor in a story that is fundamentally about storytelling.

On a simple set that stands in for the deck of a sailing ship, the port of London, a desert island and an Aborigine village, Michael Lewis as de Rougemont persuasively recounts his amazing madeup life story. He is ably assisted by the admirably versatile Bliss Griffin and Wayne Pyle in dozens of other roles. Pyle has to spend a lot of time on all fours as the adventurer’s dopey and faithful dog – the only other survivor of the “shipwreck� – and Griffin astoundingly navigates the multilevel set in high heels whilst stiffly miming a sea captain with a wooden leg.

But what makes this production an epic piece of stagecraft is the presence onstage of not one but two Foley tables, manned and womanned by Justin Pietropaolo and Jessica Barkl respectively.

Being able to see exactly how the show’s abundant sound effects are produced (yes, hoofbeats come from coconut shells, just like in Monty Python and the Holy Grail) just adds to the stage magic rather than defusing it. Simple props like a length of rope are persuasively employed to portray everything from a giant octopus to the Order of the British Empire medal.

It’s hard to conjure a better way to hook kids on the joy of theater than to bring them to see Shipwrecked! where the real and the imagined freely interplay. (And they’ll probably spot right away that de Rougemont must be lying, because wombats aren’t bats.)

Shadowland’s Brendan Burke directs, and he and the entire cast do a totally splendid job. You can see Shipwrecked!

Thursdays through Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. Following the performance on Thursday, July 2, there will be a “Shadowland Illumination� talkback with the cast, crew and director.

Tickets cost $34 to $39 for adults, with special pricing for this family-friendly show of $15 for children aged 15 and under. As always in Shadowland’s 184seat, snazzily renovated 1920s Art Deco vaudeville venue, there’s not a bad seat in the house.

Shadowland’s summer 2015 season will continue with Ken Ludwig’s popular farce Moon over Buffalo from July 10 to August 2, starring Saturday Night Live alumna Denny Dillon. The musical tribute Woody Guthrie’s American Song, adapted

by Peter Glazer, will be presented from August 7 to 30. Jason Robert Brown’s The Last Five Years will run from September 4 to 27.

Train plays Bethel Woods this Friday

S

an Francisco-based Adult Alternative megastars Train’s latest release Bulletproof Picasso (2014, Columbia) is a big old serving of larger-than-life, anthemic production rock shot all the way to the moon by singer Pat Monahan’s bulletproof pipes. The record careens all over the genres, from the nu-folk single “Angel in Blue Jeans” to the soul power ballad of “Give It All” and the jumpy neo-New Wave of “Wonder What You’re Doing for the Rest of Your Life,” but never sounds anything less than huge and sparkly.

Train visits the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts on Friday, June 26. Along for the ride are genremates the Fray and Matt Nathanson. Reserved tickets cost $48.50, $62.50, $79 and $107, and $32 for Lawn general admission. Tickets are available at www.bethelwoodscenter.org, via TicketMaster or by phone at (800) 745-3000. Tickets are also available through the Live Nation mobile app and at www.livenation.com. The Bethel Center for the Arts is located at 200 Hurd Road in Bethel.

While this mostly acoustic band is

not to be confused with the Rolling Stones’ late ‘80s album of the same name, the Steel Wheels’ gritty roots sound, as evidenced on their new release Leave Some Things Behind, is no more than a second cousin of the Exile and Sticky Fingers-era Stones in terms of attitude and ensemble values.

It’s roots, but roots with a loose, deep pocket and swagger over which violin and guitar do their filigree.

Jane Ira Bloom plays Marlboro’s Falcon

con in Marlboro on Thursday, July 2 at 7 p.m. It is hard to believe that many hot concerns in the world of jazz are still able to make their first Falcon appearance, so thick with legends has the venue been for years now, but here’s one.

Bloom gets lumped into the “postbop� category, which is another way of saying that she partakes both of jazz tradition and its evergreen revolutionary imperative, though these are revolutions in harmony and in the subtle trade language of improvisational mode and thus often easy for the non-specialist to miss. Bloom can be thanked endlessly for helping rescue the delicate reediness of soprano sax – one of Coltrane’s weapons of choice – from the hands of the smooth jazzsters.

Bloom’s definitive early release was 1982’s Mighty Lights (2014, Enja), a quartet session featuring the eminent jazz intellectual and frequent Bloom collaborator Fred Hersh, the Ornette Coleman-vet rhythm section of the late Ed Blackwell on drums and the late bassist and folk/jazz champion Charlie Haden.

But Bloom’s unfailingly articulate and elegant soloing was the star of the session.

Bloom’s latest release is Sixteen Sunsets, a set heavy on lucid ballads and the quietly radical interpretation of standards.

Bloom’s current live quartet features Dominic Fallacaro on piano, Cameron Brown on bass and Lou Grassi on drums. There is no cover at the Falcon, but generous donation is encouraged.

The Falcon is located at 1348 Route 9W in Marlboro. For more information, visit www.liveatthefalcon.com. – John Burdick

The real deal and no act Richard Cattabiani and the Cattabiani Family Band’s Gene Pool

The fiery, life-of-the-mind, maverick high school teacher is an American archetype. Insert your favorite film, lit or real-life incarnation here: the mercurial, off-script renegade in perpetual hot water with the administration. Science has its own great teacher myth. The one that I am talking about is usually in English, always Humanities. In the lore, he/she may not have primed you for your exit exams quite as well as the state would have hoped, and, in the more gritty and realist variations, may not have done well by every student in the class; his/her patience for the herding of captives toward demonstrable competence was thin to begin with.

But if you wanted it, this teacher was the match to the fuse of your creative mind (and if you didn’t want it, get thee to the insurance industry already). This was the cult leader, the poet, the minister of the arts, the synthetic thinker, the cultural call to arms and the one whom you remember.

If you believe the current narrative, he/ she is currently being programmed out of schools entirely as teachers are more and more defined as quantified curriculumdelivery systems with a vanishing margin for play.

But it is a myth, you know, in the broad sense of that term; and it was a performance, a role filled in every district: If there were no one in the role at

I had a truly great one: the real deal and no act. His name was Richard Cattabiani.

He was living it then and still does, as the Director of International Programs at SUNY-Ulster and faculty member in the English, Foreign Languages and Philosophy department (still, as ever, the insider’s choice). In his early career, he was a vociferous, dynamic presence in the classroom, making mad connections that ignored the divisions between the disciplines long before “interdisciplinary� was an academic buzzword.

hile a few bands (among them Jane’s Addiction and moe) can claim their own festivals, few can boast one as cool and arty as Wilco’s Solid Sound, a multimedia-inclined ordeal that goes down in the ultra-cool environment of MassMoCA in North Adams, Massachusetts. Solid Sound has always been a showcase for Mr. Tweedy’s open-eared and open-minded curatorship and broadening cultural revisionism. Wilco is always the only band that sounds much like Wilco. This year’s lineup is as diverse and deep as ever, featuring Richard Thompson, Real Estate, Pioneer Valley natives Speedy Ortiz, a Bill Frisell-fronted group playing music for a film and a great variety of others.

Solid Sound happens from June 26 though 28. For the whole story and your ticketing options, visit http://solidsoundfestival. com.

mountaintop didacticism, as on “Mythic Carrier”…well, I am biased ’cause this man started a whole bunch of small fires in my mind, but I buy it, 100 percent. And when, on the tricky little tropical meditation “Old Dominion,” he sings “It’s never too late to make a new start,” the truth and the fruit of it are right in front of us. No one is forever young. Forever vital is the real goal.

By the way, just for historical accuracy and good relations with the past, Richard was not my literary mentor in high school. That dubious honor belonged to a no-less-worthy cat named Pat Masson who identified both a fiery way with words within me and the ship-sinking discipline issues that must still make him cringe if he follows my columns with any regularity. I was beyond well-served by both gentlemen.

Ready. fire. aim is a six-song-selection collection of smoky, swinging, old-school piano pop, boogie and rag with some sly harmonic moves from the non-rock playbook. The band (especially young Jack, ironically) play with real genre fluency and era assurance, buoying the ambling tunes with sprightly brushwork and roots atmospherics. Every song invokes a few period gestures, a string

flourish from out of the wee small hours here or a piping soul horn chart there.

The periodness is far from over-the-top; its subtlety and naturalism highlight the fact that literate piano pop is an evergreen touchstone, ripe for the coming of a Rufus Wainwright or a Nellie McKay or three every generation.

As a writer and vocal persona, Cattabiani remains a heavy cat with

a light touch. His wry, urban, Mose Allisonesque voice delivers life truths and musings in a deceptively easygoing way. The often-cryptic titles (“Mythic Carrier,” “Axiomatic”) belie the straightshooting armchair philosophy of these bright, playful tunes. On the few occasions when the writing does approach a kind of

AS I WANDERED THROUGH THE ROOMS, fluorescent tubes from the neighboring chambers glowed like ghosts through the scrim.

RICHARD BARNES

Dia:Beacon, Riggio Galleries

Echo chamber in the Versailles of Minimalism Artist Robert Irwin unveils Excursus: Homage to the Square 3 in the Beacon box factory he made famous

O

ne of the institutions that have put the Hudson Valley on the international artworld map, Dia:Beacon is a museum of 1960s and 1970s vanguard art located in a former Nabisco box factory on the Beacon waterfront. Stepping through the doors of the low-slung build-

ing into the high-ceilinged foyer – narrow and brick-lined, like the entrance to an ancient tomb – one stands on the threshold of 240,000 feet of exhibition space, among the largest modern-art museums in the world. Its skylit expanse of maple flooring constitutes one of the nation’s sublime interior spaces. Rough-

ly falling into the categories of Minimalism, Land Art, Conceptual and Pop (Dia:Beacon also shows temporary sitespecific pieces by contemporary artists), the art is at one with the space. Visiting Dia:Beacon is an immersive experience, a play on perception. Your aesthetic assumptions will be challenged and refreshed, even as your feet tire.

P h i l i p p a de Menil and Heiner Friedrich founded the Dia Foundation in 1974 as an answer to a new problem: how to collect, commission and support sites p e c i fi c w o r k that tended to downplay or eschew the art object and in some cases used the landscape itself as the frame. Originally located in an 8,000-square-foot gallery in lower Manhattan, the museum needed more space after the foundation acquired Richard Serra’s enormous twists of rolled steel. (Torqued Ellipses, housed in a dim, cavernous space on the lower floor, are the perennial showstoppers at Dia:Beacon; you can explore the pieces, following their nautiluslike corridors into an inner chamber.) The factory’s horizontal orientation and industrial functionalism made it the ideal venue for exhibiting art that tends to be predicated upon vernacular materials, monumental scale

and the geometry of the grid.

Rather than hire an architect to convert the 1929 factory into an art museum, the Dia Foundation chose an artist, Robert Irwin, to design the space, including the exterior gardens and parking area.

Born in 1928 in Long Beach, California, Irwin began his career as a painter but soon moved to sculpture, spray-painting convex aluminum discs mounted to the wall. He was a progenitor of the Light and Space movement in California (another member was James Turrell), and in the 1970s abandoned the object entirely, instead making installations that played with space and the viewer’s perception.

In 1998, he constructed floor-to-ceiling scrims arranged in a three-dimensional grid of 18 cubic chambers at the Dia museum in Chelsea – an installation that took up the entire floor. It wasn’t clear which was the front, sides or back of this mazelike structure – or even, to some who entered, that it was a work of art. The piece, titled Prologue: x18, prompted former Dia director Michael Govan to invite Irwin to design the new museum at Beacon. Irwin, now in his late 80s (he also designed the gardens at the Getty Museum), has just completed an installation redux of sorts with Excursus: Homage to the Square, exhibited within the space that he designed at Dia:Beacon – a kind of artwork within an artwork.

Nothing could be more in harmony with its setting. Indeed, the installation doesn’t just inhabit the museum space, but absorbs it, in an interesting reversal of the usual relationship between artwork and frame.

At first glance Excursus: Homage to the Square3 (the title is a reference to the colored squares of Josef Albers), which reconfigures the original 1998 installation for the larger Dia:Beacon space, resembles a reflective white-plastic wall with doorways, suggesting an office corridor and corporate cubicles. But on closer inspection, it’s nothing of the sort.

The 14-foot-high walls consist of semitransparent fabric – the scrims – stapled over a support of wood pieces comprising a three-dimensional gridded structure of 14 identical-sized square rooms. Each room contains eight doorways, arranged along the corners, and four vertical fluorescent tubes, attached to the center of each wall. Below and above the lit portion of the tubes, Irwin has wrapped layers of different colored theatrical gels, comprising a pattern of stripes. The colors are mostly somber – dark purples, lavenders, greens, browns and beiges – although in some instances, one or two narrow bands of color are illuminated: a bright red or yellow glowing strip that suggests signals. Except for the far end of the exhibition space, the skylights above the installation have been wrapped in grey gels, creating a subdued, shadowy light.

As I wandered through the rooms, fluorescent tubes from the neighboring chambers glowed like ghosts through the scrim. Other visitors would briefly appear and disappear, near and far, through the diminishing doorways within doorways.

The fabric walls suggested the privacy and permeability of a tent, in contrast to the rigid, mazelike geometry. While the space was logically defined, the structure itself was illusive, figures and lights and distant windows and the horizon of the floor and overhead beams casting shifting patterns on the white scrim, like wavering

ed into urban and rural landscapes like a conceptual aesthetic lozenge.

His later paintings played with the idea of running men. His sculptures felt like comments on other art, yet were also perfectly crafted, like the furniture from which he once made a living. The man himself, who spent his last years in Hudson, was quietly witty and fun to be around.

When he passed away two years ago in an Albany hospital, it was days after the Whitney Museum had closed a massive retrospective of his work – its second. It was also a little after a year following his exhibition of new work at Rhinebeck’s ßber-private in-crowd T-Space, which drew out the many top-shelf talents with which our region now swells each summer.

21 Artschwager’s reputation beyond his use of commercial materials into something more heartfelt and almost nostalgic, yet always with that caustic wit and sense of commentary at play.

Often working in the medium of etching, the artist’s prints distort their subjects, often banal (as in furniture, cacti, bushes), or draws out surrounding space or innate scientific elements of what’s on view. It’s an important show of an important American artist whose reputation is currently rising yet again. – Paul Smart “Punctuating Space: The Prints and Multiples of Richard Artschwager,�

reflections on water. Approachable from all sides, the structure is non-hierarchical, and its play of light demonstrates its temporal aspect; assistant curator Kelly Kivland noted that the colors and shadows shift as the day progresses and vary according to the weather and season.

What at first seemed like a fairly simple, straightforward construction revealed subtleties of detail as one lingered. The glowing fluorescent tubes from room to room each radiated a slightly different tinted light – greenish, faded rose, like old pewter, or coppery, not at all like the monotonous white glare of commercial tubes; the subtle hues had a patina, as if each tube were made of antique glass.

The bands of color, at first glance rather dull, on closer inspection revealed a rich variation.

The scrim itself was spray-painted with a chest-high band of slightly darker (or lighter; the tone shifted with each wall) shade, more subtle than the overlay created by the distant line of the floor.

And while the view through one set of doorways constituted a series of darkergray diminishing rectangular frames, in the opposite direction the frames of the doorways lightened as they moved into the distance, ending in a handkerchief of white. This sparest of physical structures reverberated its depths like an echo chamber.

Excursus: Homage to the Square3, which will be on view for two years, is a distillation of the sensibility that transformed the Dia:Beacon building and grounds into a unified whole. It speaks to Irwin’s accomplishment as artist/designer that this harmonious whole is never static or oppressive. Each part is a variation on a theme: Expanses of maple flooring lit by skylights and huge windows in the industrial brick walls shift midway down the structure into the cement floors of dimly lit caverns, sections of which are lit by rows of bare suspended lightbulbs. It’s a yin/yang conceit: the pairing of day and night, summer and winter, light and dark.

The landscaping continues the motif of the grid, an architectonic scheme transformed by greenery. To the right as one approaches the museum, the four quadrants of hornbeam shrubs, edged in steel, are divided by a narrow wooden

walkway: an inverse of the museum’s division of rooms (the shrubs) by walls (the walkways).

A large enclosed garden along the side of the museum, adjacent to the railroad tracks, is an exercise in perfect symmetry, with its two rectangles of two rows of planted fruit trees, each punctuated by a weeping hemlock; risers of red barberry form a blaze of color at one end, while wisteria dreamily climbs a wall at the other end. Even the parking lot is integrated into the plan, with rows of angled crabapples forming a counterpart to the asphalt. In the totality of its vision, Dia:Beacon is a kind of Versailles of Minimalism, and Excursus: Homage to the Square is the tremulous jewel at its heart – a luminous palimpsest that each viewer brings into being. – Lynn Woods 3

S

ince it opened a year ago, the School gallery has added the village of Kinderhook to the cluster of world-class art destinations stretching from Hudson to North Adams. Long-established New York Chelsea gallery-owner Jack Shainman, who opened his first gallery with his partner Claude Simard in Washington, DC in 1984, has a roster of international artists who collectively produce some of the most thought-provoking, ambitious and beautifully executed work on the planet. Now Shainman is exporting some of that talent to Kinderhook, hitherto known primarily as the birthplace of Martin Van Buren.

Located in a former public school, the School, whose 1929 Colonial façade remains unchanged, is exhibiting the work of El Anatsui, the Ghana-born artist, now based in Nigeria, who won the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement Award at this year’s Venice Biennial. The 40-plus pieces in the show constitute a retrospective of the last 50 years of the artist’s career and include his clay pieces, colored wood sculpture, boldbanded acrylic paintings and etchings and majestic metal wall hangings, which reference both postcolonial exchange (partly through their resemblance to maps

and recycled material) and Modernist abstraction; the draped forms have the delicacy of a tapestry and yet are also elegiac and monumental.

The School opened in 2014 with a boisterous exhibition of Nick Cave’s colorful Soundsuits and assemblages incorporating racist artifacts from popular culture, such as a spittoon in the shape of a black man’s head. To Shainman’s delight, the show attracted crowds of locals as well as the New York art audience. “I never imagined we’d have the kind of attendance we’ve had,” he said. “Originally we planned to be open to the public in the summer and have private viewings for clients from the city. But now we have regular hours year-round. We’ve gotten art junkies on their way to the Clark Museum, Williams College and Mass MoCA, and a lot of people going to Tanglewood. We’ve been getting an amazing amount of people.”

Almanac Weekly’s Lynn Woods recently interviewed Shainman about his latest venture: You’ve been very successful in Chelsea.

What led you to open a gallery in Kinderhook?

I have a weekend place in Stuyvesant, the next town over from Kinderhook.

It’s a small farm, and I’ve always loved that area. That intersection [where

the School is located] is so beautiful, with its historic houses. One day I was driving by and saw the For Sale sign. I thought, “Oh my god, it would be a life dream come true to have a bunker for storage and a big viewing room for artists like El Anatsui and Nick Cave.” It has always been difficult finding a room in New York City with 20-foot-high ceilings…This school is such an amazing building. It’s the biggest in the village, and the bones of it were so good.

of that.

He lives in Granada, in the area where the Gypsies used to live. They lived in caves and would put a façade on the front so it looks like a townhouse, but it’s actually a cave. Because he lives in a cave, he’s the only person who would have thought of excavating the gymnasium. He dug eight feet below the gym floor [to create a 4,000-square-foot space with 24-foothigh ceilings], and it’s so beautiful. It’s surrounded by a perimeter gallery. You go through a corridor, which also is an exhibition space.

“The amount of space gives my artists a lot more flexibility”

After buying the building, how much renovation did you do?

We went in really naïve. We had done several renovations in the City, but never on this kind of scale. We worked with Antonio Jiménez Torecillas, who’s designed several museums in Spain. Antonio is really good with regenerating a space, taking something that exists and figuring out the possibilities. Fortunately the building lent itself to being a series of galleries, since it’s very balanced, with a Palladian design. Antonio took advantage

When you renovated the school, you also installed a geothermal system, so it’s a green building. Are you happy with the system?

I never dreamed I’d do this when I first heard about it, but after the first winter, when we kept the thermostat very low but still burned so much oil, I couldn’t think about not doing it. I love geothermal. Now we are cooling with the water that was sucked out of the building and heated during the

winter. It cools and heats, and with the heat pump and heat exchangers runs so beautifully. It’s such an amazing system, but because of all the oil lobbyists in Washington, somehow oil controls our lives.

I feel better about our footprint. When I first found out the cost, I thought, “Are you kidding?” But all the costs are up front.

It just made so much sense, and I feel so fortunate.

The building also has galleries on the second floor. How much gallery space is there in total?

At least 20,000 square feet. The amount of space gives my artists a lot more flexibility, because they can put a large-scale project up and leave it – as opposed to renting a room in Brooklyn, and you have 24 hours or maybe a week at most.

What has been your goal as an art dealer, and how does the School fit into that?

I want to show strong, interesting and challenging work. I work with artists from all over the world. Organizing El Anatsui’s show has been a high point in my career. When you exhibit an artist’s work from so many decades, you certainly see a cyclical thing sharpening over the years. His work from the 1970s, ’80s and ’90s is so related to what he’s doing now. In his early sculptural work, he worked in clay, reconfiguring broken ceramic vessels in different ways. Then he worked in wood, and always from recycled materials. All that metal in his metal pieces comes from alcohol products produced in Africa. My partner [Claude Simard], who unfortunately passed away a year ago, traveled the world, and he went to El’s studio in Nigeria many times. El has a lot of shows. We meet in New York, in the UK and in Italy.

It’s a museum-quality exhibition.

People have said that. A lot of works I borrowed from other collectors and from El himself. I helped organize El’s traveling exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum. I work a lot with artists, and we talk about how to put an exhibition together.

El is everywhere in the School. We did that with Nick Cave as well. In between we had two group exhibitions, which were thematic. One was entitled “Mis en Scene” and the other was “Status Quo.” We also had a solo show of Meleko Mokgosi’s very large-scale works; one painting was 44 feet long.

After so many years in the business, you must have quite a collection.

Although we started the gallery with very humble means, Claude and I loved to buy and collect work. When we had a little money we always reinvested it, and over 30 years our gallery collection has grown. Storing things in New York is not only expensive, but this was an amazing opportunity to have a place to have the public see some of these works.

In the backyard we have a largescale sculpture by Yoan Capote, who is coincidentally having a two-part exhibition right now at both galleries in New York. He’s a conceptual artist, and if you look down on the piece from above, you see the outlines of a drawing of the left and right sides of his brain. It’s made out of metal police barricades and is held up by a 10-foot-tall pole. It’s like a labyrinth.

It was part of an outdoor sculpture exhibition in Toronto a year-and-a-half ago, and when it became available, we put it up in the snow and it just looked so good. We’ll probably take it down in early October.

RYAN E. CRONIN’S SHARK ATTACK

EVENT

RYAN E. CRONIN GALLERY OPENS IN NEW PALTZ

T

he New Paltz painter Ryan Cronin works with large canvases, bold, culturally resonant shapes and brash colors: a style that guns for and routinely achieves the status of the iconic and populist in the same way that Keith Haring popped out of the ’80s. If you live in New Paltz or visit with any regularity, you know the work, as it does have a tendency to define the spaces in which it hangs: the Bistro often, the Oasis Café, and now in Cronin’s very own art store and gallery in the Water Street Market.

This serious painter stringently avoids minutiae – or getting lost in it, at least.

By design, his work is extremely friendly to replication and repurposing across all the surfaces of the boutique Pop Art marketplace. Thus, the Cronin Art gallery will be non-traditional, a gallery as well as a shop featuring many varieties of affordable Croninized products and premiums, as well as the big canvases.

The frontman of the reunited area hardcore rock band Mearth, Cronin studied at the Rhode Island School of Design, the School of Visual Arts and SUNYNew Paltz. He has shown widely in the area and at the Children’s Museum of Manhattan, the Brill Gallery in North Adams and at many galleries nationwide.

His work has been featured on VH1 and at art fairs and festivals including All Tomorrow’s Parties. Recently he has collaborated on posters and tee-shirts for his friend the songwriter Rhett Miller, of Old ’97s fame.

The Ryan E. Cronin Gallery in Water Street Market opens on Saturday, June 27 at 12 noon. There will be musical performers and deejays, refreshments and other festivities well into the night. The Water Street Market is located at 10 Main Street in New Paltz. For more information and plentiful examples of Cronin’s work, visit www.cronartusa.com.

I’m in negotiations to borrow another large-scale sculpture from another gallery for the front lawn. It’s very exciting to be able to do things that would be impossible in the City.

What’s coming up after the El Anatsui show closes in September?

We’ll be showing video work by Carrie May Weems in one of the rooms and another by Michael Snow, a very esteemed artist who’s considered the grandfather of video and film. We’re also working on a few other group shows. We have so much latitude.

century, with many of the artists staying over at local homes during their artistic forays into the wilds around town.

Consider all that has happened there in recent years since fine art photographers Dan and Jill Burkholder came to town; pin-screen inventor Ward Fleming built a series of yurts high on a hillside in which to base his experiments and art projects; the Circle W store and eatery was founded by the Mom of a noted musical family of Felice brothers; a former journalist with a deep love for art bought the old Hans County Line motel and restaurant and turned it into the Catskill Mountain Lodge; and people started coming to town to, well, just hang out and be artistic.

And arts activity started. There were some outdoor shows, open studio events. Terrance DiPietro, a painter of considerable talent who had opened Palenville’s first gallery decades ago, started getting publicly active once again.

The Burkholders started inviting friends and associates in, including many inspired

by Dan’s work as one of the pioneers of digital fine art photography.

This weekend, the community comes together and invites the world in for its third annual “Hidden Gallery Walk of Palenville” featuring pop-up art galleries in unique locations across the hamlet, including a scenic barn, a Catskill boardinghouse and a former speakeasy.

All are open from 12 noon to 6 p.m.

Saturday and Sunday with continuous artist talks and demonstrations in an Art Tent, as well as food from the Circle W General Store and Pippy’s Hot Dogs, a Fernwood Restaurant beer garden with live music and Fleming’s and DiPietro’s studios open for visits.

Specially featured this year will be a show by Karen Klinedinst, a Baltimorebased photographer who uses the iPhone to capture landscapes in the tradition of the early Hudson River School painters, who lived and created in Palenville: a Mobile Phone Shootout with participants given a list of topics to creatively photograph using mobile phones and a judge from Manhattan’s annual Krappy Kamera Competition on hand to decide prizes,” states Jill Burkholder, director of the event. There is a registration fee of $10 for the Mobile Phone Shootout, and daylong “paint-outs” around the scenic hamlet.

Everything else is free; information and maps will be distributed from a Welcome Tent at the intersection of Routes 32A and 23A in Palenville, and parking will be available.

O

f the 13 lighthouses that once guided ships safely through the waters of the Hudson River, only seven remain. And only one wooden lighthouse stands: the Esopus Meadows Lighthouse, built in 1871.

are not yet regularly held.

The quality of the restoration done at the lighthouse is perhaps best appreciated through viewing the before-and-after photographs. “It’s pretty astounding,” says Barbara Ralston, president of the Esopus Meadows Lighthouse Board of Directors.

“When I speak about the lighthouse to groups and I show people the pictures, they just can’t believe that we took it from basically a pile of wood that was ready to slide into the Hudson River to the beautiful building that it is today. It’s stunning inside, and I’m not just saying that because I’m affiliated with it! It is the prettiest lighthouse on the river.”

The major projects to restore the lighthouse have been accomplished, says Ralston, but renovations are still going on.

The island is without electricity, running water or a waste disposal system. “We’re plumbed and wired and ready to go; it’s just getting a power source back out here.

The old cable was taken out with the ice years ago, and it’s a costly venture to get that reestablished. And the cable has to be buried, so finding something that can trench from the shore to out here is difficult.”

The return of electricity would help maintain the temperature in the building, cutting down on the stress that the lighthouse goes through each year being frozen in the winter and thawing in the spring – although, says Ralston, “Things are holding up beautifully. I think that’s a testament to the workmen who have come in.”

The story of the Esopus Meadows Lighthouse begins with the original lighthouse at the location, built in 1839. “Because of the way it was constructed, so close to the water and with such a low profile, it was deemed uninhabitable very quickly by the families that were stationed there,” Ralston says. High tide flooded the site and ice floes weakened the structure. So in 1871, it was replaced by the current lighthouse, built 100 feet southeast of its predecessor. The foundation was laid atop a circular granite pier over hundreds of 40-foot-long wooden piles driven into the riverbed that served to, as Ralston puts it, “keep the wood out of the water, so to speak.”

The lighthouse was tended by resident keepers until 1965, when it was converted to an automatic solar-powered system.

But without the care of live-in keepers, the lighthouse deteriorated. Vandalism took a toll on it, as did the forces of nature.

“When the lighthouse was decommissioned by the Coast Guard in 1965, they pretty much boarded the place up and walked away from it,” says Ralston.

And that would have been the end of this story had it not been for the intervention of Port Ewen native Arline Fitzpatrick, who moved back to the area as an adult in the late 1980s. Her uncle, Manny Resendes, had been lighthouse keeper at the Esopus Meadows Lighthouse from 1937 to 1944, and Fitzpatrick had fond memories of spending time during her youth there.

“She eventually spearheaded the first phase of restoration,” says Ralston. “She started the process that kept it from really falling apart. She had quite a crew that came out; they put on a new roof and new windows. She raised funding through grants – there was still a fair amount of money available then on a state and federal level – and there was also a resurgence in community activity at that time. People were taking an interest in lighthouses and all kinds of things along the riverfront.”

Barbara Ralston’s mother, Pat, was working as a docent at the time at the Rondout Lighthouse. “She was always a big history buff and looking for more information about all the lighthouses,” says Barbara. “Someone put her in touch with Arline, and they finally met in the

The Rondout Lighthouse is celebrating its centennial

spring of ’97. Arline asked my parents if they wanted to go out and take a look at Esopus Meadows Lighthouse, and gave them the key.”

Because of her health, Fitzpatrick hadn’t been out to the lighthouse in a while.

“She didn’t realize that people she’d been relying on to take care of things had not,” says Barbara. “When my parents got out here and opened up the door into the kitchen, all the brush that was supposed to have been cut and removed from the base and around the island had been chucked into the house! My mother thought the floor was rotten, but it was actually trees growing up inside. The windows had been shot out [by duck hunters] and birds had nested; it was quite a sight.”

Much of the work that Fitzpatrick and her crew had done was destroyed. Once again, nature and vandalism had taken a toll. “The place was in bad shape,” Barbara says. “When my parents came back to shore, they didn’t have the heart to tell Arline how bad things were. But she didn’t want the key back that she’d given them.

She told them, “It’s yours...take care of her.” My father [John Ralston] told my mother at first, ‘Don’t you dare think of doing this...’ But here we are now; he’s 85 and still going strong and working out here.” Pat Ralston is also still very much involved, says Barbara. “She’s our main tour guide; she does the newsletter...all of our group is very hands-on.”

Barbara picks up the story in 1997 with the transfer of that lighthouse key to her parents. “They got a lease to the lighthouse and started doing some heavy lifting, literally. The current Save Esopus Lighthouse Commission [SELC] was started then. The group is all-volunteer.

My mother was the first director. Ed Weber, our treasurer, joined early on. I lived outside the area initially, and was not involved as much until I moved back in 2006.”

Barbara got involved with the restoration efforts in part because she thought that it was a worthy cause, but also because “My folks needed my help, and how could I say no?” And, she emphasizes, that while yes, there are a lot of Ralstons involved in the project, “Many, many hands have touched this house and brought it to life. I can’t stress that enough.”

The work done to restore the Esopus Meadows Lighthouse includes leveling the structure, which had an 18-inch drop at one corner, causing it to sag. The building was jacked up and big steel I-beams slid underneath. “It rests on hydraulic jacks that we tune every once in a while to keep the house level,” says Barbara. “When you tour the basement you can see the beams and the jacks there. It’s a whole process to tweak them. Thankfully, after the hurricanes we had only maybe a halfinch to straighten out.”

Additional restoration at the site includes recapping and repointing the stone pier on which the lighthouse sits, and the house has been scraped and painted “innumerable times,” says Ralston. “We’re in the process of starting another scrape-and-paint of the exterior this summer. The tower was restored, a copper floor was put in the tower, a new working light was put in the tower and we

WILL DENDIS | ALMANAC WEEKLY

are officially a navigational aid again on the Hudson River. All of the rotten plaster was taken down and carted off, and the house has been completely replastered.

We’ve refinished the floors and restored the staircase.”

While volunteer labor has accomplished a great deal of the work, some things call for a professional. The craftsmanship of Rondout Woodworking’s Jim Kricker and his crew is evident in the lighthouse, and Harry Baldwin redid the staircase. “People just ooh and aah over it,” says Ralston.

“It’s a spectacular staircase, rising from the first floor to the third floor of the building.”

Raising funds to do the work is a lot more difficult now than it used to be before the economy took a dive, she adds.

“It’s difficult to find funding for the kinds of projects we have left to do now. We do a lot of fundraising and get small grants, but bringing electricity out to the lighthouse is going to be a five-figure ticket, probably six-figure. And until we get a ‘yes’ from Central Hudson that they can do it, how can we plan for that?”

Barbara Ralston will have a booth outside the Hudson River Maritime Museum (HRMM) on Hudson River Day, Saturday, June 27, one day prior to the double lighthouse tour. She’ll be available to chat with visitors about the Esopus Meadow Lighthouse and will have caps and tee-shirts for sale to benefit the lighthouse.

Inside the museum, the featured exhibit for the season at HRRM is “Lighthouses of the Hudson.” A photo collage shows the “Before Restoration” and “Present Day” images of the Saugerties, Hudson/ Athens, Rondout and Esopus Meadows lighthouses. Archival photographs of the keepers and their families, sometimes accompanied by the pet rooster or dog, will bring to life the activities that happened on the water. A reproduction of Woodstock artist Charles Rosen’s 1937 mural map of the Hudson River, currently displayed in the Beacon post office, serves as a picturesque backdrop and site map to the lighthouse display.

The Esopus Meadows Lighthouse Commission welcomes any volunteer help, from administrative tasks (perhaps a grantwriter who could work on a project) to assistance painting the exterior of the lighthouse this summer or cleaning up on shore.

Some of us round the curve on State Route 209 south of Hurley twice a day, on our way to Kingston and home again. We might glance now and then at the stalwart stone structure with the signage indicating its historical significance – Bevier House – and once a year we might catch a reenactment taking place on the lawn. This Saturday, June 27 is the opportunity to pull the car off the road and stop in, when the Ulster County Historical Society commemorates the 312th anniversary of Marbletown. Currently the Town includes seven hamlets tucked into the hills and valleys of the Catskills foothills: Marbletown, Stone Ridge, Cottekill, Lomontville, Vly-Atwood, Kripplebush and High Falls.

By the time Queen Anne of England granted the Town of Marbletown a land patent on the 23rd of June in 1703, Hurley had been occupied by settlers for 30 years, primarily by decommissioned British soldiers who took up farming. Each soldier received ten morgans of lowland and 15 morgans of upland. What’s a morgan, you wonder? One morgan was roughly two acres. The rich soil near the Rondout and Esopus Creeks was perfect for growing the crops that would get shipped down the Hudson River to the Colonial city of New York.

The Bevier House, now headquarters for the Ulster County Historical Society, was constructed around 1680 and was purchased by Louis Bevier, Jr. in 1715, shortly after Marbletown was patented.

The Bevier family used the house and farm for the next 224 years through seven generations. In 1938, it was donated to the Historical Society, which has worked to preserve the structure and add to the permanent collection of significant furnishings and items from the past.

On Founders’ Day, visitors to the House can view this collection, which includes a newly created exhibit, “Food Storage of the 17th- 19th Centuries,” focusing on rare pieces found in the J. P. Remensnyder Pottery and Domestic Wares collection; the Will Plank Civil War collection; and the Tool Collection of Peter Sinclair. Also on view will be a replica of the Town stamp, designed and made by New York silversmith Jacob Boelen (1657-1729), depicting a deer and sheaves of wheat to represent the bounty of nearby forests and farms.

The original stamp has been part of the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City since 1933, when it was donated by the family of Alphonso Clearwater, then Town attorney.

Clearwater had used the stamp in his official capacity and was coincidentally an amateur silver collector. Its inclusion in the family’s donation at Clearwater’s death is an issue that the Town of Marbletown continues to oppose. Town officials hope to retrieve the original stamp when Library reconstruction is completed and security requirements put forward by the Met are satisfied.

The third annual Founders’ Day Celebration will be held at the Bevier House from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m., with a fun and informative lineup of other activities for visitors to enjoy. Festivities will include a farmers’ market put on by the Rondout

25 Valley Growers’ Association, linking the area’s history as “the breadbasket for an emerging nation” as far back as the 18th century to the reemerging importance of local food sustainability. Visitors can see a photography exhibit by Jim Smith, and enjoy the award-winning floral displays by local floral designer Dianne Hart. There will be a children’s craft activity, planting herb seeds and making butter, sponsored by the Stone Ridge Library.

Professor emeritus Bill Rhoads from the Art History Department of SUNY-New Paltz will give a talk on the architecture of Marbletown in the 18 th and 19 th centuries at 10:30 a.m. in the dining room of the Bevier House. At 2 p.m., Gail Many, the Town’s historian, will speak on Marbletown personalities of the same period.

Sevan Melikyan, director of the Wired Gallery in High Falls, has curated the works of 20 local artists for an art exhibit and sale on the Bevier House grounds. Featured paintings, sculptures and photographs done by Denise Aumick, Brinton Baker, Jane Brown, Bruce Bundock, Nancy Catandella, Tom Dinchuk, Larry Friedberg, Katie Grove, Robyn Henry, Warren Hurley, Bud Lavery, Mickie MacMillan, Marilyn Richter, Renee Rosenberg, Marilynn Rowley, Kaete Brittin Shaw, Jim Smith, Judy Stanger, Claudia Waruch and Betty Wilde-Biasiny will be included in the show.

An all-’round display of local talent, history and wares hallmarking the Rondout Valley will make for a memorable and fitting celebration. Founders’ Day is sponsored by the Town of Marbletown and will in part benefit the Stone Ridge Library through funds raised in the art sale and vendor sales.

New Paltz FootGolf

Ever notice that no matter how the kids’ soccer game went, afterwards all they want to do is stand far away and kick the ball really hard into the goal?

Well, that’s exactly the driving force behind footgolf, and New Paltz FootGolf is the first accredited course in New York State! Here’s how the game works: Using your own soccerball or one rented on-site, you place it on the ground between two flags, and kick it toward the designated hole. Count up the number of kicks that it takes to get in, and record it on the footgolf tally sheet.

My daughter doesn’t care about scoring, but my son competed against each hole’s “par”: the number of kicks that an expert player would use to sink the ball in the hole. We played nine holes on the small Rail Trail Course, which you can play twice. Ages 16 and up can play on the 18hole River Course, the holes of which are integrated into the regular golf course; but footgolf distances are much shorter than golf holes.

This game is perfect for parents looking to play something engaging, physical and outdoors with their families of all ages; retired soccer players who miss bending it like Beckham without having to run up and down a field; college students looking to spend time together doing something different; teens who want to try something new with their friends; and kids who are up for a game where no one is trying to kick their ball away! Due to New Paltz FootGolf ’s excellent location right off of the Rail Trail and Huguenot Street, locals can even walk there!

Despite its international popularity for years, I had never heard of footgolf before this month. Footgolf is establishing itself almost exclusively at golf courses, and is really starting to pick up here in the US as the number of golfers continues to decline. Not only does New Paltz FootGolf generate new patrons for the course, like my family of non-golfers, but current golfers are enjoying the game as well.

You can play in so many ways! Summer men’s, women’s, coed and children’s leagues are now forming. Footgolf fundraisers are proving to be successful ventures, as well as mixed tournaments featuring both golf and footgolf. Schools have been taking footgolf field trips here, introducing youth to this great new sport, and I’d encourage day camps to follow suit, just getting the kids out here for a terrific outing.

Kidding around Dutchess Fairgrounds host Progressive Dairy G oat Club Show this Saturday

T

heir eyes are otherworldly.

Their individual demeanors lean toward the abrupt and comical, with shades of lethargy and boredom when just standing around. Their babies might be the cutest creatures on the planet (admittedly a personal bias of this writer), and they’re entertaining and helpful and edible in so many ways. We’re talking about goats: members of the family Bovidae, closely related to sheep. One of the oldest domesticated species, goats have been used for milk, meat, hair, skins, horns and even their dung since Neolithic times.

Modern goat-lovers can expound on all the wonders of the creature: goatmilk, goat cheese, goat yoghurt and kefir and a slew of lavish body products made from goatmilk, like lotions and soaps. Some have especially soft fleece that can be spun into yarn.

Most are probably slaughtered for meat, given the dietary preferences of many cultures, and the fact that raising a goat for meat is roughly half the cost of raising a dairy goat – and much less expensive than raising beef cattle, as well.

Ann and Larry Cihanek of Green Goats Farm in Rhinebeck keep goats for another reason: They rent their animals out literally to mow down property that’s overgrown with pernicious plants and to clear terrain that is impossible to mow, like steep hillsides. “Goats prefer not to eat grass,” says Larry. “They like weeds, poison ivy – all the things that are invasive. On the top of their hit list are kudzu, anything with thorns and Japanese knotweed.” They take in as many goats as a job requires and keep them in a fenced-in area for a few weeks, a month or an entire growing season. “The herd comes out when there’s no more leaves left” – which is what it takes to eradicate unwanted vegetation.

He explains that eating down an invasive

Ann and Larry Cihanek of Green Goats Farm in Rhinebeck keep goats for another reason: They rent their animals out literally to mow down property that’s overgrown with pernicious plants and to clear terrain that is impossible to mow, like steep hillsides.

species damages the roots, and the plants die.

The Cihaneks have run their business for nine years, but sustained a tragic turn of events last February, when the barn in Red Hook that held their herd of 100 caught fire and burned to the ground, killing all their beloved goats. It was especially hard for Ann Cihanek, who bottle-feeds every baby goat that they get.

Bottle-feeding creates bonding, which is important because if one gets out of the fence, they have to be able to catch it.

On the morning that I arrived to visit, Ann was wandering around the unfenced yard with seven oneweek-old babies following her.

She picked one up as we talked and kissed its face. “They’re like babies,” she says. “I bottle-feed them four times a day; I look into their eyes. You automatically kiss their heads. One of my first thoughts after the fire was, ‘I am not going to love another goat.’ But what I realized is that doesn’t matter. You love them – their personalities and everything about them.

They’re yours.” She names them all. A small pen hold 17 more three-month-olds, already weaned.

“We initially thought we were in the vegetation removal business,” says Larry.

“Turns out we’re also in the tourist attraction business. Typically the goats are taken out on the job when they’re about a year old. But there are some jobs where cute is the objective, like in the

“Goats prefer not to eat grass,” says Larry.

“They like weeds, poison ivy – all the things that are invasive. On the top of their hit list are kudzu, anything with thorns and Japanese knotweed.”

cemetery in Jersey City. They became a tourist attraction for all the people in the neighborhood who wanted to meet goats.

At six months old, they’re cuter. We put up vending machines to let people feed the goats, and it became a fundraiser.”

He describes how their goats became a focus in one neighborhood park, surrounded by houses full of people who didn’t know each other – but they rallied together to make sure that the goats had fresh water every day: “It became a neighborhood project.” Ann talks about a boy who volunteered to give them water.

“At first he saw the goats and asked, ‘What is that?’ Had never seen one, never been to a petting zoo. He spent the summer with the goats, and then when they were killed in the fire, he sent $10 and said he wished he had more to give.”

The Cihaneks are blown away by the generosity of people, particularly other goat-owners who have donated animals to replenish their stock. In addition to their kids, they have about a dozen adults of various breeds, all now housed in a neighbor’s barn. Because of this outpouring of giving, they have been able to fulfill their current vegetation removal contracts, which range from Philadelphia to Long Island, Staten Island, Massachusetts, Connecticut and nearby properties like the Vanderbilt Mansion and Wilderstein. The couple is humbled and grateful for donations to restore their barn and keep their business going.

“All these goats have been donated,” Larry says, pointing out different breeds and pairs in the adult pen. “It turns out that people may have four or five goats, and things get out of hand. Suddenly they need to make room for a new one. An old goat means: the meat market. So people have been calling us to give us their old goats. We’re running a goat rescue. We’re thanking them and they’re thanking us, because the only alternative for them is a butcher shop. Now their goats get to graze in beautiful place.”

The Cihaneks are hoping to rebuild by winter. But their losses were humongous.

In addition to losing their herd, they were left with no equipment or materials, including six miles of fencing. “In winter we go through $60 of hay a day. They don’t like to get their feet wet if they can avoid it. They need concrete floor. Each park setup is a $900-to-$1,200 expense to clear a fenceline and run fencing. Our total loss was close to $200,000.” Still, he says, “It’s a wonderful way to make a living. We couldn’t possibly come back without all the help we’ve gotten.”

When asked if they serve any private

homeowners, the Cihaneks explain that they don’t do private houses because of the gardens and flowers. “They’ll eat everything green,” says Larry. “And we try to explain that because of the costs of our fencing, it just doesn’t work to do it in someone’s yard. It’s not like you can put two goats on a leash and walk them around to eat.”

When they arrive at a site, the animals just get out of the vehicle and start munching – everything inside their fence.

The goats are left in place until the job is complete. “We don’t need to feed them anything else. They eat. You don’t have to tell them what to do.” For the latest updates on the fundraising campaign, visit www.facebook.com/redhookbarnraising and see www.green-goats.com for more about the Green Goats.

Meanwhile, local goat farms have sprung up (an apt verb to apply to a herd of frisky goats) to offer meats and handmade dairy products, which can often be found at local farmers’ markets and specialty delis.

Check out Lynnhaven Dairy Goats in Pine Bush (lynnhavennubians.com), Heather Ridge Farm in Preston Hollow (heatherridge-farm.com), Coach Farm in Pine Plains (coachfarm.com) and Sprout Creek Farm in Poughkeepsie (sproutcreekfarm. org), among the many scattered across the upstate landscape. A visit to a goat farm is always delightful, but don’t wear your most expensive, delectable shirts!

These always-hungry animals will nibble anything within their reach.

Goat-keepers will celebrate the best of the best this Saturday, June 27 in the Progressive Dairy Goat Club Show at the Dutchess County Fairgrounds in Rhinebeck, where more than 150 goats of various breeds will compete for championship status. Show secretary Irene Decker lists the eight names of breeds being judged: Alpine, La Mancha, Nigerian, Dwarf, Nubian, Oberhasli, Saanen and Toggenburg, along with mixed breeds called “Recorded Grade.”

“There’s no prize money for the winners,” Decker says. “In each group – open and junior doe – goats are examined one at a time and graded on appearance and health. Children exhibiting animals will be judged on their showmanship.”

Winners are awarded First Place ribbons in each show, and then compete for the championship position of Best in Show in various categories and overall.

Following the regulations of the American Dairy Goat Association, these contests allow breeders to display their hard-earned expertise in animal husbandry. Like an extension of agriculture clubs such as 4-H, Dairy Goat Club shows provide a forum for breeders to increase their own stocks and spend a day socializing with other goat people. The local club has been holding annual shows for more than four decades.

“There are not as many goat farms now as there were years ago,” says Decker.

“With zoning changes and people moving up from the city – they may think it’s quaint to live next door to a goat farm, until they don’t. Plus, the cost of feed used to be $9 for 100 pounds; now it’s $32.

And a bale of hay used to be $1. I’m 77 and my husband is 78, so we don’t keep goats anymore.” She continues to do her part to produce the Goat Show, however.

“This is not a fair,” she says, “but the show is free. People can come in and watch the proceedings.”

This year the Show is chaired by Melanie Bonanza, and the judges are Cindi Shelley and Allen Bitter. The competition takes all day, beginning at 9 a.m. and running until late afternoon when the final award is handed out.

The Legislature also finds that, pursuant to Section 500-h (2) of the New York State Corrections Law, the County may pursue reimbursement for costs from any third party coverage or indemnification carried by an inmate for medical and dental services received by the inmate.

Day-camping with the Muse Sign up now for HV Writing Project’s “Exploring Nature & History on Huguenot Street”

“W

rite what you know,” aspiring writers are routinely exhorted. But that can be paralyzing advice for a young person whose knowledge of the world derives largely from the Internet. The Muse doesn’t dwell in the belly of a machine; she frolics in the fields, wanders in the woods, reposes atop crags, bathes in springs and waterfalls. So how the heck are kids in today’s schools, relentlessly being “taught to the test,” supposed to ignite their inner sparks of natural creativity and hone their writing craft beyond acing the essay question? Where is the next generation of John Burroughses, Rachel Carsons, Ed Abbeys and Stephen Jay Goulds going to come from?

Here in the mid-Hudson Valley, a low-budget, low-profile cadre of dedicated teachers has been working away at that conundrum since 2001, in the form of the Hudson Valley Writing Project (HVWP). Using the “teachers teaching teachers” model promulgated by the National Writing Project (NWP), the group offers practical in-service training during the school year in the form of monthly Saturday Seminars at SUNY-New Paltz.

But in summertime, the focus turns to training the kids themselves to tap their creative wellsprings in a fun and stimulating way outside of school, through HVWP’s Young Writers’ Programs. Most of these are essentially five-day camps, hosted by cultural and historic sites in Ulster, Dutchess and Orange Counties, that emphasize place-based writing. The newest of these, launched last year in New Paltz, is called “Exploring Nature and History on Huguenot Street,” and registration is happening now for its return the first week in August.

Besides putting youth into an environment where they are free to write as the spirit of nature moves them, the new writing camp is innovative in bringing together several leading New Paltz non-profits for the first time in support of HVWP, which has been perennially cash-strapped since federal funding for its parent organization, NWP, got the budget axe during the 2011 government shutdown debacle. The Wallkill Valley Land Trust, Historic Huguenot Street, the Nyquist-Harcourt Wildlife Sanctuary and the Huguenot Street Farm CSA are providing meeting space and guided tours for the young writers.

Participants will be exposed to the rich early history, daily lives and Colonial homes of New Paltz’s Huguenot settlers through tours of the oldest street in America’s famous stone houses. A visit to the original Huguenot churchyard with its evocative hand-carved gravestones proved particularly inspiring to young authors in the

program’s first year, according to the two HVWP instructors, Laura Ifill, a creative writing teacher at New York Harbor School in Brooklyn, and Dennis Maher, an eighth-grade English teacher at Newburgh’s South Middle School, who will both be returning this summer.

Nature in its cultivated form is encountered in the fields of Huguenot Street Farm and in a wilder state in the woods, riverbanks and wetlands of the Nyquist-Harcourt Wildlife Sanctuary, where paths and bridges wind around and across an oxbow of the Wallkill River. The protected lands are rich with waterfowl, deer, turtles and other wildlife that provided much of the diet of native Lenape people, as well as newly arrived Huguenot settlers in the late 17th century. The Wallkill Valley Land Trust’s rail trail passes right through the area as well, affording young hikers easy access to other prospects of inspiring natural beauty. “These experiences not only create a lifetime of memories, but they help students develop a better understanding of what it means to learn beyond the classroom walls,” says Maher.

Students in the program write daily and, with encouragement and support from their mentors, are introduced to a variety of writing genres, new vocabulary, sensory activities, meditation exercises and peer editing activities. At week’s end they will share their writing in a self-published anthology and at a celebratory reading in a closing ceremony before an audience of family, friends and leaders of the collaborating organizations. “Honestly, this is the type of writing that kids are not getting as many opportunities to do in our regular schools because of the heavy emphasis on ‘argument writing,’” says Ifill.

“Exploring Nature and History on Huguenot Street” 2015 will be offered from August 3 to 7, with activities running from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily. Tuition costs $295, and scholarships are available. For registration and additional information, visit www.newpaltz.edu/hvwp/summercamps or contact HVWP’s coordinating director of youth programs, Diane Rawson, at (845) 943-8437.

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) 2822018 or email DRJLPK@AOL.COM. DIANA’S FANCY FLEA MARKET: Nice Items Needed for Next Sale!

Real Estate

Last weekend, as I drove through the town of Woodstock and passed our 2 offices on either side of the Village Green, I looked at the smiling faces of the tourists and townspeople gathered about watching a group of singers perform in the center of town. There is something magical about this community where for over 100 years’ great artists of every bent; painters, sculptors, jewelers, performers, poets and writers, have been drawn to its simple beauty, peaceful surroundings and majestic vistas. It is a cultural haven, where individuals who have chosen to stray from societal norms, thrive. Its uniqueness is reflected in the homes hidden about the countryside. Let us show you how you fit in, call us and enjoy.
