100s of things to do every week

Leaving the house can be a wild ride...

1 Thomas Locker’s Calico Riders In The Moonlight is displayed at Zadock Pratt Museum’s Anti-Rent Wars exhibition.

2 1. Anti-Rent Wars commemorated in Prattsville exhibit and Catskill flash mob Long before income inequality entered the political discourse, feudallike property rents on the huge tracts of land owned by the old Dutch “patroon” families were the cause of a great Catskills political uprising known as the “Anti-Rent” and “Down Rent” wars in the 1830s and 1840s.

According to members of the cultural consortium Mainly Greene, which is spearheading a celebration of this chapter of local history, the ruckus began in Helderbergs in 1839, when residents got “tired of paying rent on land they would

3 never own and donned frighteningly decorated burlap masks, dressed themselves in colorful costumes made from their wives’ calico dresses, took up their dinner horns as if they were clarions” to rise up against “the landlords who oppressed them. Disguised as Indians, they formed tribes, appointed chiefs and held secret meetings. The class “war” of poor-versus-rich lasted until 1845 when, in the Catskills’ town of Andes, someone shot the sheriff and there was hell to pay.”

The conflict eventually led to big changes in Albany and the formation of a new political party in the Midwest that elected Abraham Lincoln as its candidate for president.

The Zadock Pratt Museum in Prattsville is currently hosting “American Masquerade: Revolution in the Catskills,” an exhibition with rarely seen artifacts

and a sense of how the Anti-Rent wars relate to today’s post-Occupy world. On view are also several lpaintings of the events by the late Thomas Locker and examples of a Calico Indian costume and mask. The museum was the site of a heroes’ welcome, brass-band-serenaded party for the arrested anti-renters back in Pratt’s day. For a contemporary take on that history, head down the street to the show at the Prattsville Arts Center.

A related series of flash-mob events, called the Calico Indian Showdown, will occur throughout the summer, starting with the Village of Catskill’s July 4 celebration down at Dutchman’s Landing at 8 p.m. on Independence Day, just before the fireworks. Choreographed by former professional dancer Todd Whitley (who runs the annual Hudson Valley Dance Festival each October), the flash-mob

event will involve as many who want to participate as possible – in costume!

Dance steps are available online.

Calico Indian Showdown will also be performed at 2 p.m. on Saturday, August 15 at the Mountaintop Historical Society’s Local History Day in Haines Falls, as well as on Saturday, August 29 as part of the annual Prattsville Mudfest.

2. Sculpture Garden Show at Unison in New Paltz opens this Sunday The 17th annual Outdoor Sculpture Garden Show at the Unison Arts Center in New Paltz will open on Sunday, July 5. The event, which will run from 4 to 6 p.m., will feature an artfilled outdoor walk and an indoor 3-D sculpture show. The Sculpture Garden at Unison, open from dawn to dusk throughout the year, will feature the work of 40 invited artists – including acclaimed sculptor Grace Knowlton.

Unison’s five-acre sculpture garden, which opened in 1999, is in a woodland setting laced with paths, opening to a wildflower field.

Featured artwork includes marble pieces by sculptor Hanna Eshel; ceramic installations by Deb Goldman, Kaete Shaw, Bill Shilales, Steve Fabrico and Anti L.; wood sculptures from Nicolas Golici and Ana Golicias and John Cino; stone pieces by Kevin Vanhentenryck, Stuart Bigley and Bob Schuler; woodland installations by Bigley, Steve Spencer, Zack Baker and Kila Bates; and large-scale metal pieces by Hans Van de Bovenkamp.

A variety of unusual mixed-media work is represented by Johnny Poux, Beth Baylis, Michael Poast, Michido Rupnow, Susan Togut and Rhonda Hennrich, and Michael Asbill has created a fiberglass installation.

In addition to the opening of the Sculpture Garden at Unison, the gallery space will feature a 3-D sculpture show of

the work of ten selected artists working in a variety of media. Barbara Arum, Joy Brown, Alfredo Cardenas, John Cino, Lorrie Coffey, Jenne Curry, Astrid Fitzgerald, Joan Goldberg, Deb Goldman, Carole Kunstadt and Jeff Shapiro are featured in this exhibition.

The Unison Art Center is located at 68 Mountain Rest Road, two miles outside the Village of New Paltz. For more information, visit www.unisonarts.org or call (845) 255-1559.

3. Novelist Jenny Milchman leads July’s HV: Create meet-up in Woodstock “A Conversation between Creatives� is the billing for July’s HV: Create monthly meet-up, scheduled for the Golden Notebook on Friday, July 3. A no-agenda meet-up for designers, writers, scholars, scientists, artists, coaches, specialists, filmmakers, cartoonists, clowns, coaches, publishers, musicians, dancers, crafters, publishers, teachers, entrepreneurs – in short, people who thrive on the creative life of the mind, art and community – HV: Create is a casual forum for sharing ideas and information.

The group usually gathers bright and early every first Friday of the month in Stone Ridge. This month, meet-up instigator Jeffrey Davis has engaged novelist Jenny Milchman (pictured above) for an interactive talk on the creative life.

Milchman has stories to tell. After her book-writing efforts failed to produce results for a number of years, she landed a three-book deal with Ballantine Books, only to discover that the publishing company’s promotional package fell short of her expectations. Not to be dissuaded, Milchman took action. She packed up her books, her husband and her two kids and embarked on a seven-month-long road trip to visit her readers where they live.

She called it “The World’s Longest Book

Tour.�

Along with sharing personal anecdotes, such as how to live out of a suitcase for a prolonged period without wanting to put your kids in the suitcase, Milchman hopes to accomplish two things at this meet-up: “First, I’d like participants to share a tidbit or two about their creative process, and how they access words, images, movements or whatever form their art takes,� she says. “Second, I’d like to trade strategies for when artists feel stuck or blocked. I hope attendees leave the bookstore with their Muses awakened and a sense of how to keep the artistic eye open.�

Milchman’s new release, As Night Falls, is about two prisoners who escape from a detention center in the Adirondacks.

It’s uncanny how life sometimes imitates art, and it’s even stranger when art seems to predict life. In Milchman’s fictional account, the escapees find their way to a remote mountain home whose occupants have been contained by a snowstorm. The house becomes a prison in its own right, but ultimately, a means of escape, literally and figuratively.

As Night Falls will be in stock and available for purchase at the Golden Notebook. “And after the event,� she quips, “I hit the road for another ‘world’s longest book tour’ – three months and about 30,000 miles this time.� Catch her before she’s long gone. – Ann Hutton “A Conversation among Creatives,� HV: Create meet-up/book launch with Jenny Milchman, Friday, July 3, 5-6 p.m., free, Golden Notebook, 29 Tinker Street, Woodstock; (845) 679-8000, www. goldennotebook.com/event/conversationamong-creatives-jenny-milchman-discusses-her-just-released-novel-night-falls.

Firemen’s Carnival returns to Margaretville The annual Firemen’s Field Days out in the Delaware County village of Margaretville are small-town Americana, Catskills-style, of a sort that’s becoming ever-rarer these days. They’re all about one of those big traveling midways that moves about the Northeast this time of year, coming to the Village Park out back of the grocery store in Margaretville each Independence Day weekend (June 30 through July 5 this year). Over the years, we’ve spotted the same rides and carneys

over the rest of a summer’s months up in Maine and Vermont, as well as down in the Poconos and further out west in our own Empire State.

Sometimes there are monster trucks; one year a quarter-century ago, some parachute demonstrator landed in local power lines and started a chain reaction that resulted in a fire that burned up a big collection of local oral histories. Weekend nights are always big for live bands and big fireworks.

Verdant hills surround the site, which smells of funnelcakes and cooking sausage-and-peppers; the sounds are inevitably overrun with the whirr of rides and laughter of kids. And it’s all a restful drive away along our state’s newest scenic byway, Route 28. What a treat! – Paul Smart Firemen’s Carnival, through Sunday, July 5, Tuesday-Thursday, 6 p.m., Friday/Saturday, 1 p.m., Village Park & Pavilion, 982 Main Street, Margaretville; (845) 586-4419, www.margaretvillefiredept.org.

Mediation Trainings at DCC & Marist this summer The Mediation Center of Dutchess County will hold two 40-hour Basic Mediation Trainings this summer. The first training will be held from July 30 to August 3 at Dutchess Community College. The second training will be held from August 6 to 10 at Marist College. Each training will include theories of conflict and their relationship to mediator goals, the experience of conflict and its effects, mediation skills practice, mock mediation practice with an experienced mentor/coach, cultural competency, working with high-conflict parties, mediating with attorneys and their clients, ethics and confidentiality. 36.5 Continuing Legal Education credits, including two Ethics, are available. The training has been approved by the New York State Office of Alternative Dispute Resolution for Part 146.

Due to a full roster, there are no volunteer opportunities available at this time. The cost for either training is $850. For more information about the training, contact Honey Minkowitz at hminkowitz@dutchessmediation.org or (845) 471-7213.

Marking 100 on th the 4

All Souls’ Church in Tannersville hosts free classical concerts from 23Arts All Souls’ Church in Tannersville announces a free summer chamber series running through July and August, featuring a lineup of critically acclaimed classical musicians from New York City, Denmark and the United Kingdom. “We’re honored to have the opportunity to host a second summer of music at a venue as unique and special to the mountaintop as All Souls’ Church,” said 23Arts founder Piers Playfair. “This series is a chance for local audiences to enjoy talented musicians from around the world, all the while experiencing this beautiful church, which ranks as one of the jewels of our mountaintop.”

On Sunday, July 5 pianist and 23Arts artist-in-residence Tanya Gabrielian leads the Initiative Chamber Ensemble, a quartet of some of New York’s best classical musicians, in a performance of the Trout Quintet by Schubert. On July 26, the New Baroque Soloists led by Ben Woodward, artistic director of London’s Fulham Opera, and accompanied by soprano vocalist Catharine Rogers will perform works by Bach, Quantz and more.

The series continues on August 9 with the Attacca Quartet, joined by Gabrielian in a special performance of the Bartók Quintet, a rarely performed work by Béla Bartók.

The series concludes on August 23 with a tribute to two of the most influential composers of Nordic music, Jean Sibelius and Carl Nielsen, who are both celebrating their 150th birthdays this year. Singer

Holiday weekend at Maverick features Goldberg Variations, silent Cage & Hand world premiere

T

he Fourth of July weekend celebration at the Maverick in Woodstock is all about the range and inclusivity of that venerable and radical serious-music institution. In a typically maverick fashion, the weekend moves from Bach to Cage, featuring two of the repertoire’s most famous piano works – both of which, ironically, were never meant to be performed on piano.

On Friday, July 3 at 7 p.m., the popular and Bachcentric pianist Simone Dinnerstein takes to the Maverick’s Yamaha C7X grand piano to perform the work that broke her on the international scene: Bach’s beloved Goldberg Variations.

Dinnerstein’s concert schedule has taken her around the world since her triumphant Carnegie Hall debut. She has performed at the Kennedy Center, Vienna’s Konzerthaus, the Berlin Philharmonie, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and London’s Wigmore Hall. Her festival appearances have included the Mostly Mozart Festival and the Aspen, Verbier, Ravinia, Bard and Stuttgart Bach festivals.

While Bach remains her forte, in recent years, Dinnerstein has recorded Beethoven and Mendelssohn, and has branched into folky art song with Night, a duet with the singer/songwriter and frequent Andrew Bird collaborator Tift Merritt. But it was Dinnerstein’s 2007 recording of the Goldberg Variations that set her concert hall reputation a-growing. Composed expressly for a twomanual harpsichord, Bach’s masterwork of theme-and-variation is famous for the roadblocks that it throws at pianists.

That eccentric virtuoso Glenn Gould was among the first wave of pianists to solve the technical difficulties of the transition.

While John Cage’s famous work of provocative philosophical showmanship 4’33 was in fact written for pretty much any instrument or combination of instruments, its debut performance was given by pianist David Tudor at the Maverick in Woodstock in 1952. You know the tune. On Saturday, July 4 at 6 p.m., the pianist Adam Tendler, a Cage specialist of sorts, brings 4’33 back to its birth site in a program that includes Cage’s fascinating Sonatas and Interludes for Prepared Piano, which, while quite gradual and spacious in their development, are not fully devoid of piano strikes. An eclectic serious-music renegade who specializes in experimental music and in the use of non-traditional performance spaces, Tendler will also perform selected works by another maverick: the American 20thcentury composer Henry Cowell.

Finally, on Sunday, July 5 at 4 p.m., guitarist Frederic Hand and flautist Paula Robison will perform the world premiere of Hand’s Four Pieces for Flute and Guitar, which was commissioned for the centenary of the Maverick Concerts. The Sunday program will also include Italian

Martha Wainwright may be the scion of folk royalty (father: Loudon III; mother: the late, great Kate McGarrigle), but well into her own career, much of Wainwright’s work taxes most traditional definitions of folk values. Her third full-length, Come Home to Mama, is a delightfully noisy and psychedelic New York City affair from the heart of what might be called the Sean Lennon scene and sounds.

Its apparent follow-up, Trauma: Chansons de la Série Télé, Saison #4, is a lovely collection of tortured ambient folk sung in French, but is also a bit of a mystery. Wainwright’s website

Pink Martini plays Sugar Loaf on Wednesday

Jane Ira Bloom plays Marlboro’s Falcon this Thursday

Soprano saxophonist Jane Ira Bloom brings her quartet to the Falcon 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 “post-bop” 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

The night takes its name from the stillhaunting duet by Siberry and k. d. lang that graced the legendary early-1990s soundtrack for Wim Wenders’ futurist road movie, Until the End of the World.

Organized by singer/Grammy-winner Elizabeth Mitchell on a “fantasy idea” by local Glo store owner Debbie Dougan, the idea of duets was introduced by Helm as a means of emphasizing the world’s need for more harmony.

“One of my favorite duets of all time is the song ‘Calling All Angels’ by Jane Siberry with k. d. lang,” Mitchell has noted.

Kit Harington and Alicia Vikander in Testament of Youth

Lost generation Testament of Youth is a handsome, timeless meditation on the futility of war

A

side from the actual international conflicts that never seem to stop swirling around us, many Americans can point to works of literature that they read during adolescence that profoundly affected their attitudes toward war. One of the things that helped turn many of us against the Vietnam War (and nukes in general) was the raw experience of read-

ing John Hersey’s Hiroshima, then a staple of ninth-grade curriculum. For others, the trigger might’ve been The Red Badge of Courage, All Quiet on the Western Front, Johnny Got His Gun, From Here to Eternity, Catch-22, The Naked and the Dead, The Things They Carried.

But if you’d grown up in the UK, the book most likely to have shaped your views in an antiwar direction would have been Testament of Youth, the first volume of Vera Brittain’s memoirs, published in 1933. Brittain’s outspoken pacifism went

out of fashion during the drumbeat for World War II; but the book was a huge initial success among the remnants of the generation who had survived World War I, and its popularity was revived in the 1970s when it was reprinted by the feminist publishing house Virago Press and made into a widely praised BBC miniseries. It seems, every English person knows that book well. Now it’s time for us Americans to discover it, however belatedly, through the magic of cinema.

Produced by David Heyman and directed by James Kent, with both Brittain’s daughter and her biographer as consultants, the new feature-length version of Testament of Youth packages its emotional punch in the decorous trappings of a Masterpiece Theatrestyle production. There’s nothing flashy, trendy or cutting-edge here, but that in no way diminishes the film’s message.

As the world notes the centennial of the war that was supposed to end all wars that killed more people in Europe than any catastrophe in history besides the Black Death, the movie’s release is a fitting reminder of the slippery slope of nationalistic posturing and its horrific potential consequences. It’s a message that, tragically, never loses its timeliness.

For a two-hour screen treatment, Juliette Towhidi’s adaptation leaves out Brittain’s childhood and cuts to the chase: a portrait of an extremely bright, feisty young middle-class Englishwoman who has to fight her family’s conservative views on women’s roles in order to attend Oxford University, then has her priorities radically reordered by the outbreak of war.

Brittain’s account of her losses, one after another, of most of the young men closest to her could seem like melodrama were it

not for the fact that her experiences were more typical than not for her generation.

Practically anything hopeful that anybody says in Testament of Youth the movie sounds at first like heavyhanded foreshadowing – until it sinks in that this is precisely the way it was in World War I: The carnage at the front was relentless. The long lists of casualties in tiny typeface in the weekly papers were real. Young Englishmen with no memory of war in their lifetimes eagerly signed up, imagining that it was going to be a bit of a lark, and most of them didn’t come home.

Part of this movie’s strength is its avoidance of battle scenes. The only heroics that we see are on the part of women like Brittain who volunteered to train as nurses and ended up working without sleep in the most appalling field conditions, short on medicines and supplies, desperately trying to patch together mangled men before they expired. The futility, ugliness and stupidity of war in general, and this war in particular, are unflinchingly depicted without showing more than a glimpse or two of actual combat.

The cast of mostly young actors is terrific, with Alicia Vikander delivering an extraordinarily nuanced and believable performance as Vera. She evolves from a grumpy youngster whose intellectual ambitions are being squelched to a blooming woman falling rapturously in love in spite of herself to a numbed victim of loss after loss to a passionately committed healer and eventual antiwar campaigner, without ever seeming too saintly (or letting slip her native Swedish accent). Her progress from hurt bafflement at the “you-don’t-knowif-you-haven’t-been-there� PTSD male

TALK

Hollywood, not hippies Elliott Landy talks about his new photo book of movie stars on Saturday in Woodstock

G

lamour was serious business then: unattainable by most mortals, but still, we could dream. In the magical images of our favorite stars, dressed to the nines and presenting themselves like the royalty they’d become, we could identify some yearning for fame and vicariously absorb it right off the tabloid pages. Never mind the disparity between us and them.

Our fantasies were well-fed by the post-World War II star-culture.

Elliott Landy captured Hollywood celebrities at posh happenings in New York City – a flirtation that resulted in a collection of never-before-seen photographs, now published by Imperial Pictures, Ltd., and aptly titled Opening Night. The 68page limited-edition volume of photos, all shot in 1968, includes celebrities Faye Dunaway, Liz Taylor and Richard Burton, Lauren Bacall, Andy Warhol, Dustin Hoffman, Angie Dickinson, Barbra Streisand and Leonard Bernstein, plus many others among the representative glitterati of the era.

“My pictures reflected the aspects of those events that impacted me the most: the falseness and superficiality,” Landy writes in the book’s introduction. “They were a reflection of my inner feelings toward what was happening – a flow of energy, channeled and filtered through my own person.” Perhaps more famous for his photos

bonding of the lads home on leave to utter impatience with her mother’s complaints about minor inconveniences like food rationing after Vera has seen the horrors of the war front firsthand is a wonder to behold.

Game of Thrones fans who have wondered whether Kit Harington can act in any other role (especially after Pompeii totally flopped) will be relieved to hear that his portrayal of Vera’s fiancé, war poet Roland Leighton, does not consist of more minor variations on what Internet memes have unsparingly mocked as “Jon Snow face.” This is the actor who played the original kid in War Horse on the London stage, after all – another World War I drama – and he’s actually quite good in Testament of Youth.

Also praiseworthy are the performances

by Taron Egerton as Vera’s keen and callow younger brother Edward and Colin Morgan as their more reserved mutual best friend, Victor Richardson. The cast of grownup characters includes stalwart British thespians like the great Emily Watson as Vera’s disapproving mother; Joanna Scanlan, the TV comedienne who was so touching as Charles Dickens’ spurned wife in The Invisible Woman, as the aunt/chaperone who keeps interrupting her heart-to-heart talks with Roland; and Miranda Richardson as her brisk, acid-tongued mentor at Oxford.

Testament of Youth is a “serious movie” in the best historical, high-minded English sense, but though it’s sobering, piling tragedy upon tragedy, it’s not a downer. Rather, it will sharpen whatever commitment you may possess yourself to doing whatever one person may to ensure that wars don’t keep on happening forever.

July 2-9 BioBlast at Kingston Point

At first, a BioBlast sounded to me like some sort of unlocked achievement in my kids’ video games, but Forsyth Nature Center caretaker/ John Burroughs Natural History Society president Mark DeDea patiently explained to me that it’s about discovering nature – the biodiversity – in a particular area. I tagged along on a BioBlast last year, and I loved it because critters, plants and land features were pointed out to me that I didn’t even consciously see, like how certain species of birds grouped together, or what happened to the bark on a particular tree along the trail, or what that sound was from that high branch.

As renowned naturalist John Burroughs, “The Sage of Slabsides,” wrote, “... every place is the center of the world.” The BioBlast connects me with my local surroundings. Taking in these new observations resets my eyes and ears to experience the extraordinary in what I used to consider an ordinary, even boring, landscape.

Bring the whole family to next weekend’s family-friendly BioBlast on Sunday, July 12 from 8 to 11 a.m. at Kingston Point, at the eastern terminus of Delaware Avenue in Kingston. Got Scouts in the family?

Scouts can earn badge elements during this nature excursion, too! This outing is free and open to the public of all ages, with parents required to stay with their children during the program.

Planning to attend? Participants are asked to register with Mark DeDea at (845) 339-1277. For more information about this and other free field trips organized by the John Burroughs Natural History Society, visit www.jbnhs.org.

To Richard Ferrono, owner of Ultimate Gymnastics, it’s all about play: “It’s human nature to play, and I love that I am getting children playing, using their bodies, getting physical and loving it.” His mission: to instill a healthy lifestyle at a young age. But how does he do it, and how does he get adults hooked on play, too? Circus arts! Richard has been doing gymnastics for 42 years and was searching for a new angle on it, which led to his exploration of circus arts. He became so passionate about it that he’s now offering classes at his Gardiner studio.

According to Ferrono, his instructors

rival, or even surpass, those who teach in New York City. Locals used to have to travel to Manhattan and beyond to experience flow arts such as fire performance, hula hoop, poi (swinging weights from the hands), devil sticks and staves, but Ultimate now offers these classes as well as acrobatics, including aerial silks, Chinese rope and lyra (a suspended metal circle), and he’s adding more this fall! This summer’s children’s camps, adult classes and special workout series feature circus arts, so all ages can get a taste.

Both circus arts and parkour draw from gymnastics fundamentals and are avenues to fitness that hold wide appeal for children, youth, teens and adults.

Ferrono says that parkour and circus arts keep kids and adults interested because they’re having so much fun that they don’t even realize the workout they’re getting.

Ferrono is especially well-versed in fire-breathing and fire-eating, from the spiritual aspects dating back to ancient cultural ceremonies and celebrations to

the captivated way that audiences respond to the fire itself.

Summer camp with circus arts for children and youth begins on Monday, July 6, and adult circus arts classes take place on Tuesdays at 6:45 p.m. Free trial classes are available as well. Ultimate Gymnastics is located at 28 Osprey Lane in Gardiner. Look for the studio’s name change to Evolve this fall: a reflection of the evolution of the gymnastics practice to one combined with circus arts!

Tragedy + Time = Comedy with TMI in Kingston When I saw the TMI Project: Tragedy + Time = Comedy show performed last month, I couldn’t wait to tell you about here in Kids’ Almanac. TMI shows are such terrific conversational fodder between older teens and parents or aunts or uncles or godparents or grandparents or anyone else looking for ways to connect with young adults. I’d recommend this show for ages 17 and up due to the raw and varied content, as well as the style of

presentation, since it consists entirely of monologues. Every person’s sharing is personal, unique, interesting, funny and true, written by the speakers themselves.

Get your tickets now for the shows at 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, July 10 and 11 at the TMI performance space, located at 5 Sterling Street in Kingston.

Tickets cost $15 in advance, $20 at the door, although I recommend advance purchase due to the risk of selling out (like the show that I attended). For tickets or more information, visit www.tmiproject. org or www.facebook.com/tmiproject.

ALMANAC WEEKLY

19 OF ALL THE ROSES I GROW, my favorite is…well, I’m not 100 percent sure of its name.

It started life here many years ago as a cutting of Rose de Rescht, given to me by the late herbalist Anne Solomon

Mexican bamboo, has migrated from a solid stand across the road to the foot of the hedge. The arching stems, heartshaped leaves and foaming white flowers, the latter due at the end of summer, explain why the plant was introduced from Asia in the late 1800s. The plants are either male or female, and female plants rarely set seed, making me wonder how the plant got across the street.

The other weed, bindweed, would be as welcome as its well-behaved cousin, morning glory, if, like morning glory, it was an annual, or at least a well-behaved perennial. The flowers look like pale morning glories. Beneath the ground is where bindweed shows its dark side.

The perennial roots spread far and wide, sending up new shoots likewise far and wide from the mother plant, and the plant seeds abundantly.

Repeatedly cutting back or pulling either weed should eventually starve the roots of either plant – if not eliminating them, at least keeping then from smothering the Nanking cherry bushes. That’s pretty much all the care that the Nanking cherry hedge needs, beyond some pruning every few years to encourage some young growth and keep the shrubs from growing too large.

DIMITRY RUCHKIN

I ripped out the forsythia and planted instead a row of Nanking cherries (Prunus tomentosa), a species of cherry from Manchuria that first made it to American shores – to great enthusiasm – at the end of the 18th century. Gardeners were not sure whether to praise it more highly as an ornamental or as a fruiting plant. When my plants are awash in white blossoms (pictured above), bicyclists have stopped and asked for their identity.

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

Easy pickings Juneberries, Nanking cherries now ripe and abundant

I

’m not saying where my juneberries – now ripe – are, except to say that they are not here on my farmden. If you don’t know juneberries (Amelanchier spp.), you’ll wish you did.

Imagine, if you will, a blueberry lookalike with the sweetness and richness of a sweet cherry along with a hint of almond. The plant is also known as shadbush, shadblow, serviceberry and, in the case of one of the species, Saskatoon.

I’ve planted and grown juneberries, but no longer do so. In the 15 years during which I had six plants, I harvested only a handful of berries. Juneberries, although lookalikes for blueberries, are pome fruits, related to apple and sharing many of the same pest problems. Here, apple has many problems, including plum curculio, apple maggot, cedar-apple rust and black rot.

But other sites are more friendly to apple and especially to juneberry. Juneberry is commonly planted as an ornamental; I’ve seen it doing well with the sun beating down on a strip of soil between a vertical wall of concrete and a concrete sidewalk near the entrance to a shopping mall, with passing shoppers unaware of the tasty berries dangling from the branches. (“My”

juneberries are closer than the nearest shopping mall. Here’s a hint: Mine are within four miles of my farmden.)

Juneberry is also a native plant (in every state, in fact) that, in good years, is laden with fruit – except, as I said, here on my farmden.

It’s well-worth planting on the chance that it will thrive. I should have given up on mine sooner.

As an ornamental, juneberry is valued for its neat form in winter – that of a shrub or a small tree – for its white or pink blossoms and, with a variety such as Autumn Blaze, for the crimson color that its leaves turn in fall.

It would be nice to be able just to wander out my back door to pick juneberries, but I won’t complain. A four-mile bike ride on an early summer morning isn’t too much to pay for the berries.

tomentosa), a species of cherry from Manchuria that first made it to American shores – to great enthusiasm – at the end of the 18th century. Gardeners were not sure whether to praise it more highly as an ornamental or as a fruiting plant. When my plants are awash in white blossoms, bicyclists have stopped and asked for their identity.

Nanking cherry blossoms at about the same time as forsythia, but does not subsequently recede into obscurity.

Right now the greenery is punctuated by bright red cherries, their small (halfinch or slightly larger) size offset by their abundance: enough almost to hide the branches. Enough so that birds can eat them, chipmunks can eat them, my ducks can eat them and still there’s more than enough for us humans. The flavor varies from bush to bush, but they’re all good, tasting somewhere on the spectrum between sweet and tart cherry.

In contrast t o j u n e b e r r y, which once joined Nanking cherry in that row along the drive way, Nanking cherries have no significant pest problems.

Sometimes branches die back a little, but overall production is rarely affected. In its native haunts, the plants tolerate winter lows of minus-50 degrees Fahrenheit and summer temperatures soaring to 110 degrees.

Mostly I just graze the fruits as I walk up or down my driveway. Last year I harvested enough at once to juice by squeezing them through a strainer: straight up, one of the most refreshing and delicious juices I’ve ever had.

Juneberry is a blueberry lookalike with the sweetness and richness of a sweet cherry along with a hint of almond.

Right now, I can walk out my front door to enjoy another now-ripe uncommon fruit. Years ago, I had planted forsythia along my driveway. The yellow blossoms fairly glowed with heat in April, but after that the row of bushes was just a blob of greenery: not unattractive, but not necessarily attractive either.

I ripped out the forsythia and planted instead a row of Nanking cherries (Prunus

Warm temperatures and abundant rainfall are giving weeds a heyday. The row of Nanking cherries has become home to two prominent weeds, both ornamental in their own right, but not enough to justify their crowded presence.

Rosy scenario If one must grow some, these are the varieties to grow

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I’m not a big fan of roses. But I can’t help myself. The garden is awash in golden-yellow, crimson-red, soft pink, apricot-pink and plain old pink blossoms. Almost all of this is thanks to David Austin, breeder of roses.

My father was a big fan of roses, so I was exposed to them at an early age. Predating Mr. Austin’s creations, my father’s roses were the ever-popular (except with me) hybrid tea roses, which everyone (except me) liked and likes for their pointy, formal blossoms, their bold colors and their repeat bloom. Nobody mentions their gawky stature, general lack of strong or interesting fragrance and attraction to pests.

David Austin roses won me over with their softer colors, fuller blossoms borne on more full-bodied bushes, delicious fragrance, disease resistance and repeat bloom. Not all have all of these qualities, of course.

L. D. Braithewaite has been the most florific of my David Austin roses, even weathering two very cold winters unscathed. The crimson-red petals made their first appearance a few weeks ago and are still going strong. They’re not my favorite color, though. Least successful of my roses has been Bibi Mazoon, which is my favorite of the David Austin roses – in its blossoms, at least. Cup-shaped and apricot-pink, the blossoms are admittedly few and far between, and can hardly be held up by the weak stalks. The rich yellow color of Golden Celebration is another of my favorites; this variety blooms fairly well and also pulled through winter

NIGHT SKY

O

First visit to an unknown world

n Bastille Day, the human race will visit the final planet – or ex-planet.

The fastest-ever spacecraft was launched in 2006, fast-tracked for a rendezvous with the most controversial world. Finally, next week, it arrives – or rather, speeds past. The New Horizons spacecraft will not stop to orbit; it will merely continue outward into the cold lonely depths of space, cameras clicking. At its closest Tuesday morning, it will skim just one Earth-diameter above Pluto’s surface.

Its window of close-approach will only last about a half-hour.

Meantime, by sheer coincidence, this Monday (July 6), Pluto arrives at its closest and brightest of the year. That’s not good enough. It’s too dim to appear in the finest binoculars. Even a large amateur telescope merely shows it as a faint speck in Sagittarius, and you’d need a super-accurate star chart to distinguish it from the zillions of other faint dots just to the left of our galaxy’s center.

Pluto shines feebly at 14th magnitude.

It’s 600 times fainter than the dimmest naked-eye stars.

It’s dim because it’s not just far away; it’s tiny – roughly half the size of our Moon.

But it’s not an “it”; it’s a “they.” There are two of them, dual balls with a mere twoto-one size difference: Pluto and Charon (pronounced like the feminine name Karen).

The pair orbit around an empty piece of space between them, once a week. Both worlds rotate, too, so that just one hemisphere of each always faces the other, eyeball-to-eyeball.

A few other tiny moons are there too, with names like Nyx. Pluto’s orbit is more than twice as tilted as any other, which carries it into odd places in the nightly heavens. It’ll still dwell in traditional zodiac constellations until 2060, but then it will move into Cetus the Whale, where it will lurk for more than a half-century.

No spacecraft has ever visited Pluto’s frozen surface, but now we will suddenly see features for the first time. Mountains? Craters? Or will it just be a flat, blotchy ice surface? We’re about to find out.

As we all know, in 2006 the International Astronomical Union (IAU), the world body

that decides such things, demoted Pluto to a “Dwarf Planet.” This produced howls of protest that will probably get reamplified next week. Pluto remains a popular world, and the public is unhappy with the decision to demote it from the ranks of major planets.

We’ll get into that and more next week. Meantime, like Mickey, we’re all about to say or think, “Hello, Pluto!”

cutting of Rose de Rescht, given to me by the late herbalist Anne Solomon – except that, reading descriptions of Rose de Rescht, I came to realize that mine wasn’t it. Whatever the name (after all, “rose is a rose is a rose…”), the attractive crumpled crêpe-paper blossoms fill the air with a delectable, heady fragrance, more than that of any of the roses that I grow.

The bush – robust, armed with prickles and clothed in leaves having a bluish cast – has never been fazed by pests or cold.

With the help of some rosarians (especially those at www.heirloomroses. com), Rose de Rescht was assigned its probable proper name: Ispahan (shown above). The alluring name, the blossoms and the toughness of the plant more than offset its one deficiency: that of blossoming only in spring.

hoes, which include the scuffle hoe, the stirrup hoe and the collinear hoe, have sharp blades that, in use, run parallel to the surface of the ground. Among these types of hoes, my personal preference has always been for the winged weeder, which looks like an airplane wing, sharpened fore and aft, attached at an angle to a long handle.

I can’t just stop and smell the roses all day long; there’s work to be done.

Time to grab a hoe and hoe, hoe, hoe.

“How retro!” you may think. What with all sorts of mulches and tillers and tilthers available, the hoe is an underappreciated and underused garden tool these days.

But a hoe does good work – if you use the right hoe in the right manner. The best

I’ve recently taken up with another hoe, the wire weeder (from http:// twobadcatsllc.com), whose head is a stiff wire cleverly bent to be easily worked amongst plants. Rotating it 90 degrees puts its short edge to work, which is very useful for wending the head in amongst closely spaced plants. The lightweight aluminum handle doesn’t look traditional, but makes the tool very light and spry in use.

Ideally, I’m out in the garden with my winged weeder or wire hoe on sunny mornings following rains. (I’m not sure which hoe I like better, so I alternate between them.) The goal is to loosen the soil, uprooting weed seedlings before they establish, and leaving a rough surface to welcome in the next bit of rain. The work, if it could be called that, is quick and easy if done before weeds grow large.

Only when weeds get out of hand is it necessary to get out the tool that most people associate with the word “hoe”: the traditional garden hoe with the large

ALMANAC WEEKLY

July 2, 2015 blade at 90 degrees to the handle. This hoe is also the one that Charles Dudley Warner was referencing when he stated (My Summer in a Garden, 1870), “what a [gardener] needs is a cast-iron back, with a hinge in it.” I reserve mine for mixing concrete.

Not that mulching doesn’t also have its place in the battle with weeds.

Mostly, though, you have to do one or the other – mulching or hoeing – thoroughly. It’s impossible to hoe even thinly mulched ground – unless, that is, the mulch is compost. Given that mulch is anything that covers the ground, compost qualifies as mulch, except that you can plant right in, or hoe, a compost mulch just as if it were soil.

Weeds occasionally poke up through or sprout within the inch of compost with which I blanket my vegetable garden beds each year. I pull large weeds individually.

Periodically, or where small weeds are starting to show, I’m out in the garden, sliding the business end of either my winged weeder or wire hoe back and forth, or just pulling it along, just beneath the surface of the ground.

Beacon’s River Pool

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).

Melissa McGill’s “Constellation” on Bannerman’s Island

Castle in the sky Melissa McGill installs light sculpture at Bannerman’s Castle

F

or anyone with a fondness and eye for the Hudson south of Beacon – be it from a train, local roadways, the Mid-Hudson Bridge or even a boat – something new started this past Sunday. The artist Melissa McGill, who has built a career moving steadily away from standard two- and three-dimensional works towards something more conceptual and in situ, launched a new piece titled Constellation on what some know as Bannerman’s Island, and others as Pollepel, where the ruins of what appears to be a castle rise up out of the river like Lorelei.

The piece will be up through the summer of 2017. Each evening small lights come on, one by one, in an outline of the ruined “castle,” built by a 19th-century munitions millionaire.

Almanac Weekly’s Paul Smart touched base with McGill after Constellation’s opening. “This island with its strange ruin sparked my curiosity as I traveled on the train along the river’s edge between New York City and Beacon. It was not so much the castle itself, but what was missing from it: its ephemeral parallel, the intangible unknowns, the questions it inspired,” McGill said, when asked about the new piece’s genesis. “In creating Constellation, it was not my interest to solve the island’s mysteries or reveal its secrets, but to provide a new connection to this site with its storied and adventurous history and to invoke the long evolution that has led to the ruin we see today.”

Where did you start as an artist?

My interest in art started very young, and my parents were very supportive. I had an incredible community of classmates at RISD [Rhode Island School of Design], many of whom I am still very close with now, and many of whom lent their support and expertise to Constellation in a variety of ways.

Each evening small lights come on, one by one, in an outline of the ruined “castle,” built by a 19th-century munitions millionaire.

As you delve deeper into site-specific installation, do you maintain work in other media? Do you see media coming together?

My work involves an interdisciplinary process, primarily incorporating drawing, sculpture and sound.

Through my process, I have become increasingly passionate about art in public spaces and its ability to contribute to communities in a larger sense. I

live in Beacon, along the Hudson River that inspired the project.

What role do ruins play in the changing American sense of itself, and our history?

Luc Santé writes about his engagement with rural ruins, and how cities often barrel through and over them. Is this at play in Constellation and your process?

Yes, I am interested in the questions raised…particularly the question “What is missing?” I wonder about how we preserve, build and remember. I am addressing this ruin as it is now.

How have you engaged in a local and larger art community? Is the role of the artist different now from what it was when you first started working seriously nearly a quarter-century ago?

A wonderful team of experts and supporters came together to help bring Constellation about; they are the stars in this constellation. Practically everyone involved in Constellation lives in this area. I am humbled and grateful. Both art organizations and environmental organizations support Constellation.

How do you sustain yourself financially?

How are the projects funded?

I am a photo editor/creative consultant for professional photographers.

That’s my “day job.” This project is fiscally sponsored by Fractured Atlas. Funding came from crowdfunding, grants and support from individuals and foundations. I received an Artworks grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. And it’s not over yet! I still have a substantial funding gap to close.

You’ve done two projects now in the southern portion of the Valley; do you see working further north?

This is my local landscape, so it has been a natural place to develop work…

But there are many spaces and landscapes that inspire me, so who knows where the next project will be?

Nancy Ostrovsky show opens this Saturday at Storefront Gallery Fresh off last weekend’s sterling painting performance with noted jazz guitarist Michael Gregory Jackson at the private Upstate House venue in Accord, the busy action artist Nancy Ostrovsky opens a new exhibit of her effervescent improvisational paintings, “Trees and Stones,” at Nancy Donskoj’s Storefront Gallery on lower

July 2, 2015 Broadway in Kingston’s Rondout District. Talk about a perfect accompaniment to the city’s big Independence Day celebration, which culminates in a fireworks display just down the block at around 9:30 p.m.!

Ostrovsky, on a personal level, brings together the diversity of a lifetime begun in North Africa and including stints throughout Asia with the staidness of nearly three full decades in the Hudson Valley now, and a lifetime exploring a singular form of representational painting based on her regular work creating live before audiences in collaboration with musicians. In the new show at the Storefront Gallery, Ostrovsky features the premiere of her pen-and-ink drawings depicting anthropomorphic shapes in the roots, trunks and branches of trees, alongside watercolors painted with pigment made from crushed stones from a nearby stream.

– Paul Smart “Trees & Stones: New Work by Nancy Ostrovsky” reception, Saturday, July 4, 5-8 p.m., through July, Storefront Gallery, 93 Broadway, Kingston; (845) 338-8473, www.thestorefrontgallery.com.

Steven Dolan paintings on view at Catskill Mountain Foundation in Hunter There’s something truly human, and awesomely beautiful, about largeness in small things. Think of the way that entire worlds inhabit the close geographies of so many great works of fiction, from Chaucer to Chekhov, from Faulkner to Eudora Welty and Harper Lee. Or the specialness of artists who work the same canvas over and over again through a long lifetime, in which their process of maturation finds flight in their brushstrokes, the subtle changes to each individual piece of art.

Steven Dolan, currently showing at the Catskill Mountain Foundation (CMF) in Hunter, is young yet. But he has apparently found his route to a mature body of work already by painting the same field and different sunsets, and now showing his almost-mystical works together.

“A successful painting conveys to its viewer a sense of inner awakening, a connection,” says the 26-year-old artist, a New Hampshire native who came to the region on a CMF fellowship. “I paint to create and bring what I have witnessed during these moments back once more into existence. Through use of an adept hand, integral mind and honest heart, I believe the artist is capable of transcending the restricting boundaries of vision, movement and space.”

Catherine Howe show opens this Friday at Cross Contemporary Art in Saugerties Catherine Howe – who shows her recent monotypes and Mylar paintings at the increasingly amazing Cross Contemporary Art in Saugerties starting this Friday – notes how her work shifted in some big ways about a year ago, but stayed the same in others.

Previously known for her wild takes on older art history memes, including the fabulous still lives of Dutch Golden Age and late Renaissance French painters, she now explores process and materials in as lush a fashion, albeit with a more concentrated sensibility.

“All or nothing” is how the artist described her method of getting loads of a certain material on hand, then improvising on themes for days, weeks, until she can cull down to what’s making a name for her on the international art scene. How proper that she is calling this latest show – her first in the immediate area – “Supreme Fiction.” It’s a riotous yet extremely controlled blast!

Major renovations underway at Bard’s Center for Curatorial Studies/Hessel Museum Put away the summer black for this year – at least for openings at Bard College’s Center for Curatorial Studies (CCS) and Hessel Museum of Art, which will be closed to major exhibitions, excepting thesis shows, until summer 2016. The place is undergoing a major rearrangement of existing space to accommodate some major changes in the world-class institution’s role as an archive, library and teaching space, as well as a museum and gallery of considerable reputation.

The big changes are being fueled by some major growth to Bard’s contemporary collections, which have in recent years embraced works brought together by pioneering East Village and Chelsea

23

gallerist Pat Hearn, who passed away 15 years ago at the height of her career (and some major shifts in what was to become today’s art world), as well as from collectors Rebecca and Martin Eisenberg, and a major selection of pieces instrumental in the growing expansion of moving image pieces into the visual arts canon.

The $3 million expansion has been designed by New York-based architects HWKN (Hollwich Kushner), responsible for lower Manhattan’s ultra-cool Il Laboratorio del Gelato and other commercial spaces, with an eye to doubling the number of teaching spaces and classrooms in the building, expanding areas for archives, special collections and “visible storage.” An inner sanctum designed by archival system artist Liam Gillick will include a large wall drawing in colored ink wash by the late Sol LeWitt, two new wall vinyl acquisitions

by Louise Lawler and a new wall piece

by Gillick. His new archive system will be combined with seating and a new entrance system for “the secure part of the archive,” to include a text running around the top of the study area that details the original schedule of classes at the legendary Black Mountain College in North Carolina.

Portions of the facility will be reopening when classes resume at Bard and CCS this autumn, with a full reopening for graduation thesis curating projects next spring.

The original CCS came into being 25 years ago with the help of collector Marieluise Hessel. Its current building was designed by Chicago-based architects Goettsch Partners, with a number of single-

function spaces largely to accommodate the research needs of graduate students in the MA program in Curatorial Studies. Expansions later started in 2006, leading to the realization that with the original museum collection expanding, new archival needs were coming to light, as well as a shift in the way that the entire college was utilizing CCS. “As a test bed and laboratory for curatorial research, the faculty and students of the Center for Curatorial Studies increasingly require access to more flexible and adaptive spaces for non-exhibition-driven forms of research and practice,” reads the Center’s raison d’etre for its latest changes. “The newly designed discursive and research spaces will be areas where the full range of collection resources from the Library & Archives and the Hessel Museum of Art can be actively mixed and engaged with meeting current and future needs, and ultimately supporting innovation and experimentation in the contemporary arts within an educational and exhibitiondriven context.”

Random House hosts Ruth Reichl, Gretchen Rubin and other bestselling authors for all-day event that includes book-inspired workshops, readings and wine tasting at Basilica Hudson

W

hen Random House throws an Open House at its headquarters in Manhattan, readers get to meet their favorite authors in an upclose-and-personal atmosphere. Now the mega-publisher is moving the party upstate for a daylong event to be held in Basilica Hudson, the reclaimed and renovated 19th-century factory where the arts are celebrated in grand style. “Off the Page” is slated to bring booklovers together with notable authors for talks and panel discussions, wine-tastings, a sneak peek at new titles coming out by fall and lots of mingling.

Throughout the day, guests will hear from established authors, editors and TV personalities, including food critic and bestselling author Ruth Reichl (Tender at the Bone and Delicious!), Gretchen Rubin (The Happiness Project and Happier at Home), Woodstock native Clark Strand (How to Believe in God and Waking the Buddha), Lauren Redniss (Radioactive

and Century Girl). Interactive bookinspired workshops about flowerarranging and book club-hosting will pique further inquiry into entertainment.

A wine-tasting, hosted by New York Cork Report and Hudson Valley Wine Country, will feature selections from Hudson-Chatham and Tousey wineries.

All perqs aside, the event is geared toward connecting the local reading community with its authors.

At 10 a.m., legendary food critic and bestselling author Ruth Reichl starts with a keynote conversation with Every Day with Rachael Ray Magazine’s executive editor Dana Bowen on rediscovering simple pleasures. Reichl’s newest book, My Kitchen Year: 136 Recipes that Saved My Life, details her not-so-simple shock at being left jobless when Gourmet Magazine suddenly shut its doors after nearly seven decades. As editor-in-chief, she felt the weight of responsibility for all the people who had worked under her for ten years – and for the end of an institution in

culinary publications as well. At first the feelings of grief and failure overwhelmed her. “Condé Nast never publicized why they closed the magazine down. It’s a privately owned company, so they could just do it and move on – even though readership was up at the time,” she says.

After finishing an in-progress book tour for the company, Reichl comes home and does what best soothes her soul: she cooks. Her upstate household becomes, for the following four seasons, a test kitchen in which she tries out old favorite recipes and gets creative with new ideas and locally produced ingredients.

Beginning in the fall – a time of endings apropos of a passionate career, suddenly over – she immerses in the meditative endeavor. From shirred eggs with potato purée and the “cake that cures everything” through winter’s bounty rendered in stews and breads and soups, spring’s surprises (salmon with rhubarb glaze!) and

summer’s comforting standards (okay, purslane tacos aren’t exactly standard), Reichl recovers.

The book, her eighth in a succession of memoirs, food lore and a novel, is chock-full of Mikkel Vang’s gorgeous photography: “He came upstate and took photos along the roadside even before we started shooting for the book.” He caught Reichl from behind, rummaging through veggies at an outdoor market, strolling through the woods, whizzing around her kitchen, gazing wistfully upriver – almost as if she wasn’t yet ready to face the camera. From above, we see her deft hands rolling dough and pinching dumplings. Reichl’s thoughts and feelings about the next phase of her life are interspersed amid recipes and methods.

The food that she prepares looks good enough to lick off the pages. The book is a stunning tome.

Dinner includes a locally sourced threecourse meal, organic specialty cocktails courtesy of Art in the Age Craft Spirits and wine courtesy of the Union Wine Co. “It’s a full day of discovery and learning,” says Zoro. “Hudson’s beauty and bookloving community instantly made it the perfect location for this first off-site event…with a wonderful bookstore, a theater, art galleries, food, wine, crafts, it’s everything we were looking for in a town.”

The venue’s proximity to the Amtrak station is a plus, too, allowing readers from across the Hudson Valley, the Capital Region and New York City to attend.

Lauren Redniss, award-winning contributor to The New York Times op/ed page and author of two captivating biographies, all deftly illustrated with intricate line drawings, will weave history with scientific research to introduce her upcoming title, Thunder & Lightning: Weather Past, Present and Future. “In the book, I look at the awesome challenges we face in an age of global climate change,” she writes, “but this is also about the way weather affects us in the most intimate ways – the feeling of breeze on our cheeks, the smell of fresh earth after it rains, how quiet things get after it snows.”

Clark Strand, spiritual writer, former Zen Buddhist monk and author of the recently released Waking up to the Dark: Ancient Wisdom for a Sleepless Age, will be on hand to talk about the “hour of the God”: that mystical time of wakefulness that so often occurs in the middle of the night, when our prolactin levels promote the opportunity for the very nurturance of our souls – if only we knew how to tap into this quiet hour. If only we knew how to honor the darkness and reacquaint ourselves with it. What that might take, Strand suggests, is the discovery of “a new path that is really an old path.” He proposes nothing less than the reenchantment of the whole world and all natural life on the planet by turning off the lights.

BENEFIT

The irrepressible Kaeli Beyer

K

aeli Beyer was playing doctor in her parents’ living room with her twin brother Aidan. But it was not the kind of little-kid role play that other four-year-olds perform. Kaeli Beyer’s version of playing doctor is based on experience – painful experience.

Since last October, hers has been a world teeming with doctors and nurses and needles and IV drips and long overnight hospital stays that no one her age should have to endure. So when Kaeli Beyer plays doctor, she talks to Aidan of “ports” and needles. She wears a pair of oversize latex gloves that dangle from her fingers like blue icicles. Surgical masks are scattered around the room, along with a long, thin plastic tube – the kind that usually hangs from an IV tree. Kaeli twists it around her body like it was a toy.

Her once-luxurious blonde hair is growing back now. It’s an encouraging sign that poses special problems for a little girl who for the past several months has taken sustenance – and offered it to others – by having her head shaved and inviting friends and family and doctors and nurses to draw pictures on her shiny bald head.

Welcome to Kaeli’s world, a world where a little girl has made child’s play of her battle with cancer.

Kaeli’s parents, Jean and Chris Beyer, missed being childhood sweethearts by about an eighth of a mile. They were New Paltz neighbors with lots of friends in common who didn’t meet until 2006 on the Internet.

Jean is an occupational therapist who stopped practicing the moment Kaeli began undergoing treatment.

Chris is a sergeant first class in the US Army, currently stationed in Yorktown, Pennsylvania. After their twins were born in California, where Chris was then stationed, the family returned to New Paltz. They now live with Chris’s parents in the home where Chris grew up on bucolic O’Rourke Drive.

The trouble started last September, when Kaeli began having pain during urination. Follow-up tests proved inconclusive or misleading. When her abdomen became distended and fever struck, Jean took her to the emergency room. Kaeli was immediately dispatched to Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital at Westchester Medical Center. Thus began the agonizing wait for a diagnosis that could only be accomplished through painful physical examination and surgical exploration.

By early October, the family learned that Kaeli had what’s called Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma. It’s the most common form of lymphoma in adults, but extremely rare in children. Jean recalls how she cried with relief when she finally learned the diagnosis: “Now I knew what we were up against – what we had to fight.”

That first hospitalization lasted a month. It was hard on Kaeli and it was hard on Aidan, who had never been separated from his twin before.

The first course of treatment failed to remove all the cancer. Kaeli’s subsequent program requires twice-weekly trips to the hospital, plus a weeklong stay for chemotherapy every month. Last winter’s wretched weather and Chris’s eight-hour drive back and forth from Pennsylvania on weekends only compounded the difficulties that the family faced. But as Jean says, “You get into a routine. You develop friends.”

And you discover your song.

Hoda Kotb is a co-anchor of the Today Show and a breast cancer survivor. She has said that cancer was difficult enough to experience as an adult; imagining what it must be like for children was all but impossible for her. Music had been a great source of comfort for her, so she set about producing a song dedicated to funding pediatric cancer research while providing a musical experience for children suffering from the disease. The result was a mashup of two then-and-now songs: “True Colors”

by Cyndi Lauper and “Brave” by Sara Bareilles.

The song, “Truly Brave,” became Kaeli’s go-to song whenever she was facing a medical crisis. The song’s accompanying video features bald-headed children like herself scurrying about the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. “She sees other kids with cancer, and it helps,” Jean says.

Helping and being helped have become major themes for the family. That’s partly where the idea came when Kaeli’s hair began to fall out. “The video helped her come to terms with losing her hair,” Jean says. “She didn’t like it, but she came to terms with what needed to be done.”

It also gave her the idea to shave her head on her birthday in January, so that, like one of the kids in the video, others could decorate her head with drawings – of hummingbirds, rainbows, mermaids. It was a typically Kaeli way to meet her challenges: by transforming a bad situation into something more hopeful.

Kaeli’s condition is itself more hopeful, Jean says. Her first post-chemo CT scan showed that there was no active cancer apparent in her abdomen and none had migrated, as lymphoma can, to other parts of her body.

Chris Beyer has seen his daughter become what he calls an “ambassador of hope”

The KaeliStrong Foundation will provide funds specifically for children with Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma in the region.

among her fellow cancer patients. She and her best friend Anna frequently team up to cheer up and reassure incoming patients twice and three times their ages. “She helps these kids,” he says. “It’s really something,” wonder resounding in his voice.

Kaeli’s willingness to help other kids got Chris asking how he and Jean and their extended family could do the same – not just for Kaeli, but also for all those other little bald-headed kids facing the unknown every day at Maria Fareri. “That’s the question we asked ourselves: How do we help? How do we build a legacy out of Kaeli’s courage and strength?”

The family’s answer is the KaeliStrong Foundation, a support group aimed at providing funds specifically for children with Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma in the region. Even the best health insurance plans don’t cover incidental costs of travel, food and babysitting needs. “Even mortgage and car payments,” Chris says.

Jean says that she has seen children at Maria Fareri who spend long stints alone, if only because their parents have to work. The foundation is an attempt to provide the economic help that could allow those parents more time with their children.

It’s really very simple, Chris says. The need is everywhere, “and nobody does this alone.”

The foundation will sponsor a fundraiser at Novella’s in New Paltz on July 18. Visit www.kaelistrong.org for more information.

id Rock is a complicated musical and cultural figure, as if a purveyor of sh*t-kicking redneck hip hop could be anything but. He does have a reputation, however for putting his money where his mouth his. The affordable “$20 Best Night Ever” tour set all sorts of attendance records, proving that the combination of marquee entertainment and affordable tickets was possible.

Now with the his new album First Kiss out on Top Dog/Warner Brothers Records, Kid Rock, along with his trusted Twisted Brown Trucker Band, is announcing a full summer tour with very special guest Foreigner. First Kiss, like so much of the modern country genre, sounds a lot like retooled Bryan Adams, but in a good way. Rock’s latest is unvarnished American nostalgia with guitars and drums that have not been Pro-Tooled in super-perfect alignment.

Kid Rock and Foreigner make a stop at the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts on Friday, July 3 at 6:45 p.m. Platinum Circle tickets can range as high as $225, but this is the Kid after all: Lawn seats cost an eminently doable $29.

SHOW

New Pornographers play Bearsville

S

ince 1997, the diehard Canadian indie-rock supergroup the New Pornographers has considered re-supergrouping every couple of years, working around its members’ main projects – which, with the exception of vocalist Neko Case’s solo albums, are invariably less well-known than the New Pornographers. A. C. Newman is the majority songwriter, Destroyer’s Dan Bejar the relief. All the albums are delightful, soaring, melodic power-pop, with 2014’s Brill Bruisers every bit as fresh and arresting as 2005’s critical favorite Twin Cinema.

Newman has been making a lot of appearances locally, and on Thursday, July 9 at 8 p.m., the whole supergroup plays the Bearsville Theater, with Thao and the Get Down Stay Down opening. Tickets cost $35. The Bearsville Theater is located at 291 Tinker Street in Woodstock. Visit www.bearsvilletheater.com for more information.

Hudson Valley Real Estate Elegance for Family and Friends

After living well into my 70’s, I have learned that life is a precious thing that should be enjoyed every second! Ernest Hemingway said: “Try to learn to breathe deeply, really to taste food when you eat, and when you sleep really to sleep. Try as much as possible to be wholly alive with allyour might, and when you laugh, laugh like hell. And when you get angry, get good and angry. Try to be alive. You will be dead soon enough.” He lived his life to the fullest and I intend to do the same. Part of my life’s joy is surrounding myself with beautiful property. I relish owning my own home and you should too. If you don’t, call us, we can help you find some of your most enjoyable moment’s right under your own roof!

Situations Wanted

FOSTER HOMES NEEDED FOR KITTENS AND PREGNANT CATS.The WOODSTOCK FERAL CAT PROJECT is a local not for profit organization committed to reducing future feral cat populations through spay/neuter. We often find orphaned kittens who need a loving home until they are old enough to be adopted. Some orphaned kittens are so young that they require bottle feeding.

We affectionately call them “bottle babies”. We recently placed three pregnant cats in three wonderful homes. The cats gave birth and when the kittens are weaned (no longer nursing), we will look to find loving homes for the kittens and their mothers. If you are interested in fostering or would like to learn more about fostering, please call (917) 282-2018 or email DRJLPK@AOL.COM. DIANA’S FANCY FLEA MARKET: Nice Items Needed for Next Sale!
