The series will start on Friday, July 11 at 12 noon at the Friends of Historic Kingston Gallery and will continue every Friday through August. The first “conversation” will feature Phil Sinagra, who will speak about his IBM career opportunities. The second talk on Friday, July 18 at 12 noon will be on the topic of “The Effect of IBM on Kingston Schools” with Jack Finch, followed by “Women at IBM” on Friday, July 25 at 12 noon with

lubricants. Wesley and Barbara Gottlock, authors of Lost Amusement Parks of the Hudson Valley, will speak on Wednesday, July 23 about the Hudson Valley amusement parks that entertained millions of visitors in the 19th and 20th centuries. Author Robi Josephson will trace the earliest days of Mohonk and the origin of the Mountain House traditions on (in partnership with the Open Space Institute) acquired 11.5 miles of rail trail between the towns of New Paltz and Kingston. The highlight of the purchase was the iconic 940-foot-long Rosendale Railroad Trestle. After a $1.5 million renovation, the Rosendale Trestle opened to the public a year ago, providing a spectacular vista on the scenic Rail Trail, spanning 150 feet above Route 213 and the Rondout Creek. Now a new connector trail has opened under the Trestle, providing pedestrian access into the Town of Rosendale. The pedestrian trail was designed and constructed by Tahawus Trails

with natural materials that need little maintenance while providing a positive user experience. It was designed in conjunction with the extensive stormwater drainage project that was completed a few weeks ago at the south end of the Trestle. Future improvements to the extension of the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail and this connector trail will include signage assisting visitors traveling into town and to the Rail Trail.

EVENT

Stone House Day in Hurley on Saturday

ow do you get your kid into history without driving off to Sturbridge, Ticonderoga, Williamsburg or some battlefield for reenactments? How about heading over to one of the Hudson Valley’s coolest long-running community events, the annual Stone House Day in 348-year-old Hurley – now running for the 64th time in the community where all of Kingston fled, along with the state government, back when the Ulster County seat was invaded and burnt way back when? Running on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the big day includes one of the better Revolutionary War reenactors’ encampments around, lots of demonstrations and house visits, plus a Library Fair and old-time refreshments. What makes it particularly great is the fact that this is a living community inhabiting some very old houses. It allows one to see the past coexisting with the present, and it is an invaluable lesson tool. – Paul Smart Stone House Day, Saturday, July 12, 10 a.m.-4 p.m., rain or shine, Hurley; www.stonehouseday.org.ation, call (845) 679-5955 or visit www.woodstocksanctuary.org.

Rosendale Theatre screens three dance ﬁlms by Marta Renzi What’s better for a relaxing Sunday afternoon this summer than an afternoon of dance on film, especially when those dances are site-specific and subsequently inspiring? Moreover, the dancer making said films, the fabulous Marta Renzi, is the sister of Red Hook’s Maggie Renzi, longstanding creative and life partner of moviemaker John Sayles. Marta, a dancer and filmmaker of note, has a long history of collaboration with many of the best

3 artists in our region as well as worldwide. The upcoming Dance Film Festival at the Rosendale Theatre this Sunday, July 13 pulls from Renzi’s choreography and dancing for such locations as the Guggenheim Museum, Washington’s Union Station and the Staten Island Ferry, as well as for a host of music videos on which she collaborated and the epochal Mountainview, a collaboration with Sayles. The program also includes a series of new dance videos that Renzi will be presenting at Jacob’s Pillow in the Berkshires later this month. Renzi will be at Rosendale Theatre for a question-and-answer session after the screenings. – Paul Smart Marta Renzi’s Mountainview, Porch Stories & Incident at Chekhov Creek, Sunday, July 13, 2 p.m., Rosendale Theatre, 4088 Main Street, Rosendale; (845) 658-8989, www.rosendaletheatre.org.

Hudson Project spotlight: Dr. Dog

The Hudson Project Music & Arts Festival has chosen to stage its new-

paradigm music festival on the site of an older one, but not the older one: in Saugerties, on the site of Woodstock ’94, where Billie Joe got mud-bombed. I was playing with Wormwood at the Rhinecliff Hotel on the first night of Woodstock ’94. A Freeman reporter came to interview us on what it was like not to be one of the area bands invited to play the local stage at the festival; we said, “Now that you mention it, it sucks.” My mother was delighted, as usual, to see my name in the paper. From July 11 to 13, the preponderance of performers in the Hudson Project Music & Arts Festival will have little to do with the land of Levon or classic guitar rock generally, centering instead on what might be described as the Pitchfork aesthetic cocktail diluted with some upstate jamcentrism: some indie-rock royalty, a lot of hip-hop and a lot, a lot, a lot of electronica and synchronized iPads. While the festival can be in some ways read as a retort to Mountain Jam and the old guard of the Valley, one band on the bill, at least, will have been a veteran at both festivals – and a bit of an odd fit at both as well. Philadelphia’s retro guitar-pop tricksters Dr. Dog have been reinventing all the wheels of rock for over a decade now. The two-songwriter outfit is endlessly creative and obsessive in the studio and a legendarily hot and spirited live band as well. (I have seen them twice – once before I knew their records, and

once since. I was floored both times.) Dr. Dog’s like-clockwork releases get slicker and slicker, tighter and tighter and more and more competent over time; but if you want to hear what it sounds like when a bunch of talented young music fanatics go to the basement to try to reverse-engineer everything from the Beatles to the Beach Boys to the Band, the Small Faces and Marvin Gaye, getting it all gloriously wrong, check out their delirious third record, Easy Beat. And then work forward from there. It’s all good. Like Australia’s the Go-Betweens, Dr. Dog (pictured above) are pretty much committed to the strict alternation of songwriters on their records. One, guitarist Scott McMicken, is the more adventurous and assured lyricist. The other, bassist Toby Leamen, is the deep-groove master whose songs bring some serious soul to their otherwise pretty Britty studio play. Both are high-character singers (with Leamen seemingly determined to leave a spot of blood on the 58 on every song), and both are crafty and resourceful melody writers with a lot of classic music deep in their ears. With their unfettered studio experimentation and an approach to pop imperialism that could be described as organic, meatware sampling, Dr. Dog, it turns out, is one of the few bands out there that could bridge the current Balkanized indie scene with the good old play-ityourself rocking that has always moved these particular mountains. So, while they are not one of the top-line acts of the Hudson Project (fourth line, in fact), they may be one of the most important. – John Burdick Dr. Dog, Friday, July 11, 4 p.m., Hudson Project Music & Arts Festival, http:// hudsonmusicproject.com.

The ABCs of EDM

Dance music is big business, and the Hudson Valley is beginning to get a taste. EDM (electronic dance music) is the fastest-growing sector of the music industry, with an estimated worth of 15 to 20 billion dollars annually, approximately 4.5 billion of which come from a worldwide circuit of festivals that deejays and their Macbooks travel. With brand-new festivals kicking off their runs in 2014, you can add this weekend’s Hudson Project Music & Arts Festival in Saugerties and Bethel Woods’ recent Mysteryland festival to that list. Modern EDM is a phantom of a genre. Even if you don’t think that you’ve heard it, you probably have. Emerging from local movements like Chicago’s house scene and Frankfurt’s trance crowd, EDM is a global music, with the best-known deejays hailing from many countries. Though one could go in-depth with each scene, the broad outlines, and those seen at most festivals, are as follows: steady beats; simple, insistent melodies, that repeat dozens if not hundreds of times each song; guest vocals with broad, easy-to-memorize lyrics; builds that escalate tension until a late-song drop, or release; finally, a feelgood tone that never threatens to ruin the party.

FESTIVAL

KENDRICK LAMAR HEADLINES HUDSON PROJECT ON SATURDAY

ompton’s own Kendrick Lamar, a young man tagged as hip-hop’s Chosen One by no less an authority than Dr. Dre, receives top billing at the upcoming Hudson Project Music & Arts Festival, his name nudged slightly ahead of such fellow headliners and indie-rock royalty as Flaming Lips and Modest Mouse. Lamar, in fact, has been headlining indie-rock and mixedgenre festivals pretty much continuously since the release of his justly ballyhooed 2012 major label debut, good kid, m.A.A.d. city. Maybe Kanye West better illustrates how pop megastardom and private-school indie culture credibility can be the same thing these days, but Kanye – beloved of the kingdom of Pitchfork and the kingdom of Kardashia – occupies a paradoxical position on the popculture spectrum, one that I call the Shatner conundrum: Is he hero or jester? Beloved or mocked? Laughed Kendrick Lamar at or with? The magic is in the notknowing. Lamar has barely begun to fashion an identity-as-brand à la Kanye. What he has done is release an album of undeniable power, candor, effervescent intelligence and outlandish musicality. Good kid, m. A. A.d. city is a conceptual tour de force, a musical memoir of his Compton youth and its characters, broken up by lo-fi skits and street-life vignettes. Tracks range from harrowing and brilliant social commentary (“The Art of Peer Pressure,” “Good Kid”) to the blazing hometown-pride anthem of the album’s closer, “Compton,” featuring Dr. Dre, and all manner of urban confession in between. Lamar embraces odd sounds, multiple characters with processed voices and bizarre, quirky production moves throughout, making him perhaps more of a kin with Flaming Lips than might be apparent at first. Good kid, m. A. A.d. city has found a receptive audience within and without hip-hop, and a lot of people will be watching the kid’s next move. – John Burdick Kendrick Lamar, Saturday, July 12, 10:35 p.m., Hudson Project Music & Arts Festival, Winston Farm, Saugerties; http://hudsonmusicproject.com.

This music has been quickly appropriated into the pop mainstream in recent years, with artists as famous as Madonna, on her MDNA album, consulting up-and-coming deejays for beats, songs and style. If you’ve heard a pop song with an endless bass drum on every single beat, then in a certain sense, you’ve heard EDM. Though it began in 1993 in the Netherlands and later opened an iteration in Chile, the Mysteryland festival made its first move to an American outpost with May’s Mysteryland USA festival, a multi-day music event with camping at Bethel Woods during Memorial Weekend this year. The festival sold 20,000 tickets to attendees from 27 countries, and was headlined by crossover successes like Steve Aoki, Kaskade and Moby, as well as no fewer than two deejays with Nostradamuspun names. Mysteryland was billed as an all-EDM fest dedicated to the raver ideals of peace, love, unity and respect, or PLUR for short, and in addition to main and side stages featured a Healing Garden and a Spiegeltent. Mysteryland has a tentative three-year deal to continue the festival at Bethel Woods. The Hudson Project Music & Arts Festival, taking place July 11 to 13 in Saugerties, is aiming for a more general appeal. Over three nights it will host indie-rock titans Modest Mouse and the Flaming Lips, hip-hop star Kendrick Lamar and popular deejays Bassnectar (pictured above) and, again, Moby. The festival segments its three days into rough categories: hipper indie-rock on Friday, EDM on Sunday and a mix of the two on Saturday. This is not exact; long-running Minneapolis hip-hop group Atmosphere

will perform on Friday before Modest Mouse, and MGMTers Cults are slated for Sunday. EDM is a business force that few festivals or pop artists can ignore. While major EDM-focused events like New York’s Electric Zoo and Miami’s Ultra Music Festival make a mint, even traditionally rock-oriented gatherings now bill electronic musicians high up on their marquees. Skrillex received near-top billing at this year’s Coachella and Lollapalooza festivals, where Flosstradamus, Netsky and Zedd join him. Pop stars have increasingly turned to these producers and deejays to give them

hits, and the strategy is working. Skrillex was even reportedly consulted on sound effects for this year’s Transformers: Age of Extinction movie. Risks come with running any music festival. Drug use was common in the raver culture out of which EDM and its PLUR ethos emerged, where stimulants like MDMA (commonly known as Ecstasy or Molly) were regularly used. New York

State Police conducted traffic stops around the recent Mysteryland USA festival in Bethel, and only 20 arrests, or one per thousand attendees, were made. A sheriff quoted in the Times-Herald Record called the festival attendees “polite and decent” and stated, “Everything went smoothly, and it was a wonderful event.” Whether Mysteryland and the Hudson Project Music & Arts Festival return and prosper, however, is another matter entirely. Though EDM festivals grew between fiscal years 2011 and 2012 – the last years for which analysis is available – the largest festivals still stick to huge markets like New York City and Miami. Is there a true base for EDM in the Hudson Valley? The Hudson Project Music & Arts Festival’s diverse lineup hopes to pull in a musically diverse crowd, and by marketing Mysteryland USA as a PLUR experience, as opposed simply to another music festival, promotions company ID&T managed to sell out. However, it should be noted that Mysteryland set its cap at 20,000: a small number compared to the 300,000 tickets that Vegas’ Electric Daisy Carnival sold this year. Whether these festivals become Hudson Valley institutions remains to be seen, but it will undoubtedly depend on what happens with the EDM bubble. – Rob Rubsam

Rosendale Café presents Abby Hollander Band on Saturday

Last year singer/songwriter/guitarist Abby Hollander performed at the Rosendale Café with a rockabilly band, the Boot Heel Drag. This year, the restless Woodstock native brings a tight, bristling four-piece bluegrass unit, the Abby Hollander Band, up from Brooklyn to perform at 8 p.m. on Saturday, July 12, again at the Rosendale Café at 434 Main Street in Rosendale. The quartet features Hollander and Jeff Picker on guitars and the fine hot musicianship of Ellery Marshall on banjo and Jason Sypher on bass. They play beautifully crafted and arranged songs, many of them being Abby’s originals, along with some standards, and even one of her brother’s. Hollander grew up in Woodstock in a family of musicians, where music was always a staple of each day: an ofteneclectic mix of bluegrass, country, jazz and rock ‘n’ roll. She has absorbed Dolly, drunk from the cup of Lucinda Williams,

MUSIC

Peter Frampton & Doobie Brothers at Bethel Woods on Saturday

eter Frampton was solidly in the rock-star conversation even before Frampton Comes Alive catapulted him to an unsustainable megastardom: the kind of exposure from which there is no easy return and no gentle landing. Already a known commodity for his work with the Herd, Frampton really broke through as a premier second-generation British Invasion guitarist with Steve Marriott’s post-Small Faces project Humble Pie, from which he departed after two albums, citing the proverbial artistic differences. While Frampton was getting his solo career off the ground, he made studio contributions to a few significant records, including George Harrison’s masterpiece All Things Pass and Harry Nilsson’s essential Son of Schmilsson. Frampton’s vision as a triple-threat singer/songwriter and guitarist receives its fullest expression not on the double-album live classic from 1976, but three years earlier on Frampton’s Camel: a rich and varied album, by turns bluesy, torchy, folky, funky and proggy, and pretty darn good but for one lamentable Stevie Wonder cover. In his rich singing and steady, lyrical guitar playing, there’s an unpretentious, agreeable blandness to Frampton that reminds me of the agreeable blandness of Steve Winwood or Dave Mason at their obsequious Peter Frampton best. Likability and a strong basic skill set went a long way at the dawn of the singer/songwriter age. That musical sturdiness and Frampton’s golden-boy good looks set the stage for one of most unlikely pop-culture explosions in rock history. Frampton came down with 1977’s I’m in You, the market performance of which would have been exceptional had he not blown the curve the year before. A big part in the execrable film version of Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band fueled his fall. But Frampton’s steadiness, good humor and essential modesty have made him the kind of fellow who could withstand that ordeal with his ego and integrity intact. He has continued to tour and to make solid records such as 2010’s fine Thank You, Mr. Churchill, and to enjoy telling his remarkable story. As the Hell’s Angels’ house band, the Doobie Brothers have a few stories to tell as well. Peter Frampton and the Doobie Brothers (featuring both founding songwriters, Tom Johnston and Patrick Simmons) join forces at the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts on Saturday, July 12 at 7:30 p.m. – John Burdick Peter Frampton & the Doobie Brothers, Saturday, July 12, 7:30 p.m., $99.50/$90/$69/$58.50/$36.50 reserved seats, $26.50 lawn, Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, 200 Hurd Road, Bethel; www.bethelwoodscenter.org.

ALMANAC WEEKLY a solo jazz piano performance by Lara Downes doing “Lady Day Remembered,” an evening of musical interpretations of music made famous by Billie Holiday – plus, in keeping with the rest of the Maverick programming, some Impressionist gems from the year of her birth (1915) by Debussy, Prokofiev and Fauré.

The classy Maverick Concerts – regularly pegged as one of our nation’s top summer music series, what with their bucolic setting and top-shelf programming, which lends itself to sterling,

above-the-norm performances – has long been known as a bastion for classical music, with the occasional new piece premiering (most notably John Cage’s epochal 4’ 33”). But over its nearly 100-year history, and embedded in its roots out of the fabled Maverick Festivals of the early 20th century, the beloved sylvan concert hall of windows and pine has also hosted an assortment of Woodstock’s many talents – as well as what is currently shaping up into a well-respected jazz program. The Grammy-winning Harlem String Quartet plays a program of classical works by jazz legends Chick Corea and Wynton Marsalis on July 19, alongside Borodin’s Nocturne and Piston’s String Quartet No. 1, while on August 2, the “LeBron James of jazz piano,” Fred Hersch, will play an evening alongside guitarist Julian Lage: a program fast selling out as of presstime. Combining the Maverick’s new jazz and older tribute to local talents, Saturday, August 9 will be given over to guitarist

Perry Beekman, with friends, doing an evening of works from the Gershwin songbook. The series then closes out on August 30 with the Anthony Wilson Guitar Quartet performing Wilson’s The Seasons Suite. Known for his work with pianist/singer Diana Krall, Wilson has been gaining renown for his compositions and new textural work with his quartet. The July concerts start at 6:30 p.m., while all others start at 8 p.m. Most also include refreshments by Woodstock and Kingston’s Asian fusion Yum Yum restaurants. What’s special about these evenings in these years of the Catskills becoming ever more jazzcentric? Think of cool evenings in a resonant wooded glade, a sense of deep cultural history and a tradition of the topmost musicality. Ah, Maverick… – Paul Smart Jazz at Maverick, select Saturdays in July & August, 6:30 or 8 p.m., Maverick Concert Hall, off Maverick Road, West Hurley; www.maverickconcerts.org.

Jimmy Buffet to play Bethel Woods

Don’t look now, but Jimmy Buffet, the unassuming beach-bum troubadour, Key West’s drunken poet laureate and an arguable one-hit wonder with more than 20 releases, is among the top-selling live acts of all time. His faithful, the Parrotheads, travel like Deadheads and carry their unique culture with them. Buffett brings his scene to the big shed in Bethel on Thursday, July 17 at 8 p.m. Tickets range from $169.50 to $51.50 for general admission lawn and are available at www.bethelwoodscenter.org. The Bethel Woods Center for the Arts is located at 200 Hurd Road in Bethel.

or three weeks in July, gifted young musicians from all over the world will be coming to SUNY-New Paltz to study at the PianoSummer Institute. The public will have an opportunity to attend performances by the students and the SUNY-New Paltz professors who be teaching them, distinguished musicians all. A highlight of the PianoSummer Festival will be a performance on July 19 by Vladimir Feltsman, the world-renowned, Russian-born pianist who made his debut at Carnegie Hall in 1987 and has played with major orchestras around the globe. Feltsman, who has taught at SUNY-New Paltz since 1987 – the year he emigrated from Russia to the US – has headed the Institute and Festival for the past eight years. Under his tenure, the PianoSummer Institute, which was launched 20 years ago, has developed from its modest beginnings into what he calls “one of the most interesting summer piano schools in the US.” That reputation in part was made possible by the private financial support that Feltsman – who also teaches at the Mannes College of Music – mustered from his extensive network of contacts. Today the program is very competitive, and 38 participants were chosen from an applicant pool of more than 60 for the 2014 class. While most of the students are college-age, this year “our youngest student is an American Chinese who is 11 years old and our oldest is 28.” All are committed professionals, and they come not just from the US but also Russia, Israel, China, South Korea, Japan and

said. The PianoSummer Institute differs from other distinguished summer music schools in that it is shorter – three weeks, as opposed to the more typical nine weeks – and intense, with five lessons a day. “It’s piano boot camp,” Feltsman said. Lessons are given by SUNY-New Paltz’s seven Music Department professors and two visiting guest artists: Emanuel Krasovsky, a professor of Piano and Chamber Music at Buchmann-Mehta School of Music at Tel-Aviv University, and pianist Victor Rosenbaum, who teaches at Mannes and the New England Conservatory. Despite the intensity of the program, “My purpose is not to make superstars of our kids,” Feltsman said. The Institute offers “an objective teaching model” in which all the students study with all the teachers: a modus operandi that exposes the young musicians to a variety of styles and approaches, Feltsman said. The aim “is to open up something in their minds and help them learn how to learn,” he said, noting that developing this “critical ability is of value for the rest of their lives” – a longer-lasting legacy than simply preparing them to play at a worldclass venue (although when an Institute grad does play Carnegie Hall, it’s pretty wonderful, he acknowledged). Feltsman himself made his debut with the Moscow Symphony Orchestra at age 11, although he modestly stated that compared to “kids today who make $10 million at the age of 12, I was just pretty good.” He credits his experience as a teenaged student at the Moscow Conservatory, and in particular, his teacher Jacob Flier, as the prime inspiration and foundation of his career. Back then, “The Moscow Conservatory was unquestionably the greatest music school in the world.”

professors will play for ten to 15 minutes, enabling the students “to listen and understand that we know what the hell we are talking about before they’ve taken their first class”; a recital by Feltsman playing Schumann on July 19; the Jacob Flier Competition Gala, featuring nine past winners, on July 26: a special concert celebrating the Institute’s 20th anniversary; and the Symphony Gala, in which Feltsman conducts the Hudson Valley Philharmonic Orchestra playing Shostakovich’s First Symphony and the winner of the Jacob Flier Competition performs a piano concerto, on August 1.

However, “Being a student of one of these great guys implied certain rules of behavior: You could not walk into another class and hear how a different teacher worked. If you did, your present teacher was not very happy about it.” In contrast, at the PianoSummer Institute all the teachers have equal authority. “There is no such thing as the absolute truth about how to play Mozart,” Feltsman said. “It’s easier to say or show what not to do than to show students what to do. It’s like a mirror: What you get depends on how and who is looking. But when you absorb and digest from other teachers, it becomes yours, and that’s how you learn how to learn.” Feltsman acknowledged this approach

may initially be confusing for some students, but ultimately they discover “what clicks and resonates.” Such an open-ended learning approach also gives students a breather from the enormous pressure that they’re under. “The process here and in certain places in Europe is not very pretty,” he said. “The main criterion is not how good he or she plays, but how well the teacher is connected and the support he or she could ge t for the students. The PianoSummer Institute and Festival is the opposite of that.” The accompanying festival, held at the college’s McKenna Theatre, consists

As a young pianist in Russia, Feltsman was perhaps free from the commercial pressures experienced by today’s up-and-coming classical musicians, but he had other challenges, namely getting his travel abroad approved by the KGB, and endured perhaps the worse fate imaginable for a performer, after he unsuccessfully applied for an exit visa: virtual artistic exile in the USSR for eight years, during which his recordings were suppressed and he was banned from performing. With the coming of glasnost, he was finally able to leave, in 1987. He continues to perform in his former homeland, but says that there’s nothing romantic about the connection: “I have quite a following in Russia and my concerts sell very well, so they can make money off me. I still have a few dear friends there, and Russia will always have a special place in my heart. But it’s all business.” Despite the political difficulties, he feels fortunate to have been in Russia in the 1960s and ’70s. “If you’re talking about music culture, Russia was the place to be, especially for young students. But one of the main reasons I wanted to leave Russia is that if you don’t play the game and

STAGE

Spoken & sung Sarah Micklem, Cornelius Eady & Rough Magic perform on Saturday in Kingston

ingston’s Spoken Word will host a mix of talent and entertainment this weekend when poet/playwright Cornelius Eady takes the stage with his literary band Rough Magic and his wife, fantasy novelist Sarah Micklem.

Micklem, a Princeton graduate who has taught fiction at the University of Notre Dame, is slated to read first from a short story that was started many years ago in Abigail Thomas’ class in New York City. “So, it’s old and new. I finished it last fall,” she says, but chooses to avoid mentioning the title. “I don’t want to get pinned down!” Her two novels, Firethorn and its sequel Wildfire, tell the story of war from a woman’s point of view, as a camp follower – someone “about as low on the social Sarah Micklem hierarchy as a person could get.” Based in the author’s adolescent fascination with the idea of a woman living wild in the forest, Micklem’s character is “a bit like me – somewhat ignorant, somewhat foolish – and yet she is as different as I could make her, for her world isn’t mine, though I created it. I wrote my way into her kingdom. I did not want to write about what I knew, but rather what I hoped to discover.” The third novel in the trilogy is gestating, although she confesses, “It’s a painful point. I’m afraid I left my character in a bad spot in the second book, and haven’t gotten her out of it yet. It’s an enormous commitment to tackle.” On hearing that it took Margaret Atwood a dozen or so years to finish her trilogy, she says, “I feel better when I hear things like that. I don’t want to read about those people who can write one [novel] a year.” A graphic designer for the Girl Scouts of the USA who writes fiction in her spare time, she spent 14 years designing for a children’s magazine at Time Warner. Micklem has also recently contributed her talents to produce Thomas’ small book of writing prompts, Two Pages, which will be available for purchase at Spoken Word. A frequent award-winner and a recipient of grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Guggenheim Foundation and the Rockefeller Foundation, Eady teaches at the University of Missouri and instructs playwrights in New York City. He has also taught at New York University and Sarah Lawrence College, and co-founded the Cave Canem Foundation to support African American poets. Eady’s numerous volumes of poetry include the titles Brutal Imagination, You Don’t Miss Your Water, The Autobiography of a Jukebox, The Gathering of My Name, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, Victims of the Latest Dance Craze, Hardheaded Weather and Kartunes. His audio chapbooks are Asking for the Moon and Book of Hooks. Known as one of the foremost American writers focusing on matters of race and society, his poems delve into jazz and blues, family life, violence and societal problems stemming from questions of race and class. His theatrical works includes the libretto for an opera, Running Man, finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Drama, and the play Brutal Imagination, which won Newsday’s Oppenheimer Award in 2002. Collaborating with musicians and other vocalists onstage reflects a central theme in Eady’s work, so combining contemporary, rather ethereal-sounding riffs with poetry is a natural progression in terms of performance. He has called himself “a fan of word-drunk music; music with a great melody or beat and something under the hood, lyricwise.” The band has put out an EP called Seven Songs, which will be available for purchase at the event. Rough Magic seems to have come about organically through the individual group members’ affinity for poetry. The other vocalist in the band, Robin Messing, is a novelist, essayist and short-story writer who began her literary life as a poet. Messing’s daughter, Emma Alabaster, is bass-player and the musical director of the band, and is also a poet. Violinist Concetta Abbate, guitarist Charlie Rauh and drummer/ arranger Leo Ferguson round out the group.

Eady and Micklem have only done dual readings a few other times, and are looking forward to sharing the spotlight at Spoken Word. Eady says that after Micklem’s reading, Messing will open the next set with some of her work. “Then I’ll read some music-related, mostly unpublished work, and the band will perform from our Seven Songs EP.” The couple has another “Abby connection,” too. They occupied Thomas’ upstate home for a short period a few years back: an occupation that convinced them that they too wanted a place in the country to escape to. They found the perfect property in Acra, one uniquely suited to their needs – reading, writing and music-making – and spend as much time in the northlands as they possibly can. It’s complicated: Eady’s car lives in Columbia, Missouri during the school year. When he drives it back to their New York City apartment each summer, the weekend journey to Greene County becomes much more doable. Spoken Word is curated by the ever-cheerful and energetic Annie LaBarge, who attracts poets, authors of fiction and nonfiction, memoirists, songwriters and actors to read their works to local audiences. The monthly gathering, held every second Saturday at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation, offers performances by featured writers and usually opens the mic to audience members for short readings on a limited basis. On July 12, there will be no open mic; but be not dismayed. The evening’s lineup should inspire everyone to go home and polish their work for next month. – Ann Hutton

Out of the Cage cage Mount Tremper Arts Summer Festival opens this weekend with International Contemporary Ensemble performing works by Christian Wolff

ituated in the Catskill Mountains between Woodstock and Phoenicia, Mount Tremper Arts (MTA) is an artist-run multidisciplinary arts center that supports contemporary artists in the creation and presentation of new works of art. “We’re kind of a laboratory for many of the leading contemporary international artists working today,” says artistic director Mathew Pokoik, who co-founded the center in 2008 with choreographer Aynsley Vandenbroucke. “We’re not a traditional touring venue; artists don’t simply come here with a show, do the show and pack up. We’re very much interested in Composer Christian Wolff with score dialogue between disciplines and fostering experimentation and innovation.” The seventh annual Mount Tremper Tudor premiered John Cage’s 4’ 33” – and full schedule of events posted at www.

Imogen Holloway Gallery closing Saugerties location The Imogen Holloway Gallery in Saugerties will soon shut its doors, but is not going out of business. “I’ll be leaving the brick-and-mortar location on Partition Street in Saugerties in order to concentrate on a more mobile, flexible and I think exciting model,” says gallery director Diane Dwyer, “finding beautiful and unusual spaces in the Hudson Valley in which to show paintings and installations, host readings and performances.” The gallery’s online presence will remain active through the website, Facebook, Instagram and e-mail, she says. “I’ll use these formats, from time to time, to feature fresh new work from the gallery artists, as well as new discoveries.” The first Imogen Holloway Plus event will be held in the fall, and Dwyer will continue to be available for consulting, arranging studio visits and private viewings.

little-known Dubois Fenelo Hasbrouck, a self-taught artist from the large regional clan based in New Paltz who made his home in the Delaware county town of Stamford for years, is not your run-ofthe-mill art show. Well-researched, with an eye to the tastes of the time as well as the artist’s keen appreciation of the pastoral elements of the wild northern Catskills, “The Paintings, Watercolors and Drawings of D. F. Hasbrouck – American Impressionist” is both intimate in its display in the restored rooms of the early-19th-century home of the quirky community-builder, tanner, banker and US Congressman and iconic in the way that it subtly points out the personal accomplishments in character of Hasbrouck’s way with landscapes. What one carries away from this retrospective is Hasbrouck’s capture of the shift that occurred, during his day, from the earlier Hudson River School painters’ embrace of wildness in nature to something similar to the Barbizon School of painters’ appreciation for the serenity of landscape that was emerging in France as a counterpoint to troubled times of rampant industrialization, revolution and war – along with acknowledgment of the heights to which self-taught, serious artists working away from the limelight can reach and achieve. On Saturday, July 12 in Prattsville, Michelle Delaney, director of the Smithsonian’s Consor tium for Understanding the American Experience, will give a keynote speech, “Big History, Small Museums: Understanding the American Experience through Collaboration,” on the importance of museum collaborations in presenting important local and regional history and American biography. Delaney is known for her championing of local art history beyond the usual discussion of the Hudson Valley as a birthplace, finding it to be a “Cradle of American Art” via its ageless nurturing for homebred talents like Hasbrouck’s, George Inness’ or the later artists working in Cragsmoor, Pakatakan, Woodstock and elsewhere around the greater Catskills region. Part of Delaney’s lecture will focus on her experience uncovering and reversing the story of L. L. Hill, father of color photography and a Westkill-based recipient of Zadock Pratt’s patronage who had been branded a “fake” for 150 years by historians. Hasbrouck, for his part, attended one semester at Cooper Union art school in New York, had a painting accepted for exhibition at the National Academy of Design at the age of 24, later had a work accepted for inclusion at the Chicago’s World Columbian Exposition of 1893 and briefly saw his work purchased for collection (ending up at the Smithsonian, the Art Institute of Chicago and the San Diego Museum of Art) before growing forgotten in the early 20th century. Delaney’s free lecture will take place at the Prattsville Community Church starting at 1 p.m. “The Paintings, Watercolors and Drawings of D. F. Hasbrouck – American Impressionist” will be on view during weekend visiting hours at the sweet Pratt Museum for a light admission fee through October 12. If visiting both this weekend, leave time for a hike up nearby Pratt Rocks, one of the region’s great oddities: a Pratt-commissioned, half-finished Mount Rushmore tribute to himself and his family carved into a nearby hillside. – Paul Smart

Prediction: In Your Arms will have legs

Catch Powerhouse Theater’s all-star dance extravaganza at Vassar this weekend – before it hits the Big Time

stensibly, the shows performed each summer at Vassar’s Powerhouse Theater are works-in-progress – some in the early stages of development, others being polished prior to moving on to Broadway, Off-Broadway or top “out-of-town tryout” venues. The song-and-dance pastiche In Your Arms, which opened last weekend and will run through Sunday, July 13, seems just about ready for primetime. In fact, I’d highly recommend catching it right now, before it moves someplace where tickets command three-figure prices. Not to put

too fine a point on it, In Your Arms is a knockout and deserves a long run. Directed and choreographed by Christopher Gattelli, who won the 2012 Choreography Tony for Newsies, with music and lyrics by Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens (Seussical, Once on this Island, Ragtime), this production is not so much a standard musical play as a series of dramatic dance numbers, loosely connected by the theme of romance and performed by a crackerjack cast. Among them the creators and performers can claim 14 Tony Awards, five Pulitzer Prizes and one Academy Award; to list all their honors would take up several pages of this publication. The ten “vignettes,” most of which have little or no dialogue, were written by a veritable Who’s Who of contemporary American theater: Douglas Carter Beane, Nilo Cruz, Christopher Durang, Carrie Fisher, David Henry Hwang, Rajiv Joseph, Terrence McNally, Marsha Norman, Lynn Nottage and Alfred Uhry. The show opens and closes with an ensemble number featuring singer Debbie Gravitte (Jerome Robbins’ Broadway). In between, every style of dance from classical ballet to swing, tap to tango, rock ’n’ roll to Charleston, modern to jazz is explored with great skill and verve. You definitely don’t need to be a dance

nerd to enjoy In Your Arms thoroughly. In its variety of forms, all expertly performed, the show gallops by, its tone alternately celebratory, wistful, fiery, slapstick, tender, disturbing and nostalgic. It’s tough to pick out a few highlights for special mention, since the whole show is so uniformly top-shelf in both material and execution. Comic actress/dancer Jenn Harris just about steals the show with her loopy moves as the bored female half of the Russian team in a reality-TVstyle dance-off who suddenly falls for the male half of the American team in Christopher Durang’s The Dance Contest. She also hilariously portrays the author, Princess Leia side-buns and all, in Carrie Fisher’s Lowdown Messy Shame, only to be upstaged by a killer tap routine from Jess LeProtto (Newsies). Flamenco dance heats up the stage in a Spanish Civil War-era love triangle in Nilo Cruz’s The Lover’s Jacket, as danced by Glenda Sol, Peter Suarez and Seán Martin Hingston. George de la Peña and Ryan Steele (another Newsies veteran) perform a sensual pas de deux as ex-lovers who meet again as closeted judges at a Jazz Age beauty contest for female impersonators in Douglas Carter Beane’s Artists and Models, 1929. Alex Michael Stoll as the American boss of an Asia-based business gets knocked on the head and dreams of learning wire-fu and ribbon dancing from his secretary, played by Kristen Faith Oei, in David Henry Hwang’s White Snake. The last turn around the stage before the big finale is taken by an old couple reliving memories of youthful play by the seaside in Terrence McNally’s Sand Dancing, featuring two showbiz veterans: Carole Shelley, whose exquisite Tonywinning performance as Mrs. Kendal will never be forgotten by anyone who saw the original Broadway production of The Elephant Man, and Robert Morse, who originated the role of J. Pierpont Finch in How to Succeed in Business…, copped a second Tony for his portrayal of Truman Capote in Tru and just recently had his character Bertram Cooper killed off on Mad Men. Morse is now 83, Shelley 74, so they’re no longer hoofing it up; but the pair’s gentle two-step winds down this high-energy dance extravaganza sweetly enough to leave the audience feeling a bit misty-eyed. The entire 25-member company of In Your Arms is topnotch. As befits a show with minimal dialogue, the dancers don’t just dance; they act with their every move.

It’s compelling storytelling, not mere razzle-dazzle. Go see this show; it’s headed for greater things and costlier venues – no doubt about it. Powerhouse Theater presents In Your Arms in the Martel Theater at the Vogelstein Center for Drama and Film on the Vassar College campus beginning at 8 p.m. on Wednesday through Saturday, July 9 to 12 and at 7 p.m. on Sunday, July 13, with 2 p.m. matinées on Saturday and Sunday, July 12 and 13.

Quick! Name an Amazon. You said Hippolyta, right? She’s about the only one whom most of us know by name, either as the wild bride of Duke Theseus in Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream or as Wonder Woman’s badass mother in the world of DC Comics. But ancient Greek sources cite warrior women of the Amazon sisterhood by the dozen. One of the most renowned was Penthesilea, daughter of the war god Ares, who went to fight in the Trojan War on the home team’s side after accidentally slaying her sister Hippolyta with a spear while hunting. A glorious death in battle, apparently, was the remedy of the day for being tormented incessantly by the Furies (what they called PTSD way back when) for her poor aim. Penthesilea’s participation in the war, arriving during or just after Hector’s funeral, is not mentioned by Homer in the Iliad. But quite a few other Greek and Roman sources tell the tale of her furious charge through the Greek ranks, exterminating her foes by the dozen while seeking to engage the mighty Achilles himself. The Greek champion appears and makes short work of her, but is smitten with love and remorse

John Patrick Shanley’s The Danish Widow opens on Wednesday at Powerhouse Theater New York Stage and Film, along with Vassar College, will celebrate the 30th anniversary of their Powerhouse Theater collaboration with Tony Award-winner John Patrick Shanley’s new play The Danish Widow, starring Emmy Award-winning actress Kyra Sedgwick. Performances will take place from Wednesday, July 16 through Sunday, July 27 at the Hallie Flanagan-Davis Powerhouse Theater

when he takes off her helmet and beholds the dying Penthesilea’s beauty. Taunted for sentimentality by his railing countryman Thersites, Achilles kills him in turn, angering his kinsman Diomedes and sparking yet another of the family feuds that so often seem to get in the way of a good honest battle in these ancient Greek epics. That, more or less, is the official version. But the late 18th/early 19th-century German dramatist Heinrich von Kleist either got something garbled or was inspired to put his own spin on the story: In his romantic drama Penthesilea, he has the warrior queen briefly take Achilles captive, leaving them time for a bit of passion before getting down to the slaying stuff. A brandnew adaptation of Kleist’s “tragicomedy of love and misunderstanding that threatens to derail the course of history” by the Man Booker Prize-winning Irish novelist John Banville will debut this weekend at the Fisher Center at Bard College, running through July 20 as the drama component of Bard SummerScape. Two-time Obie Award-winning director Ken Rus Schmoll helms the world-premiere production of Banville’s Love in the Wars. Another Obie-winner, Birgit Huppuch, will portray Penthesilea, and One Life to Live’s Chris Stack will play Achilles. Also in the cast are Jeffrey Binder as Odysseus, Chad Goodridge as Diomedes, KeiLyn Durrel Jones as Agamemnon, Karen Pittman as Prothoe and Karen Kandel as the Amazon High Priestess. Banville’s previous adaptation of another Kleist play, The Broken Jug, was well-received. In addition to the prestigious Booker Prize for his novel The Sea, his works have won the 1989 Guinness Peat Aviation award, the 2011 Franz Kafka Prize, the 2013 Irish PEN Award and the 2013 Austrian State Prize for European Literature. He is also the author of eight best-selling mystery novels using the pseudonym Benjamin Black. Love in the Wars will have two preview performances at 7:30 p.m. this Thursday and Friday, July 10 and 11, before the official opening at 7:30 p.m. this Saturday, July 12. Evening performances will continue on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, July 17 through 19, with 2 p.m. matinées on Sundays, July 13 and 20, Wednesday, July 16 and Saturday, July 19.

at Vassar College. Shanley also directs the cast, which includes Broadway vets Craig Bierko and Matt McGrath, as well as stage and screen actress Annika Boras. In The Danish Widow, a mystery unfolds against an international backdrop as a female insurance investigator finds herself battling wits with the formidable title character. John Patrick Shanley describes his play as “disturbing, funny, deadly serious and sexy – like a Hitchcock film with a Modernist edge.” Powerhouse Theater is dedicated to both emerging and established artists in the development and production of

Saturday, July 18 and 19 at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays, July 13 and 20 at 2 p.m. Directed by Coach House member John Thayer, the story revolves around senior citizens Samuel Jonas and Laura Curtis, a widower and widow who strike up a love affair. When they announce plans to live together without marrying so that they can keep Social Security benefits that they’d otherwise lose, their children hit the ceiling, even though they were never close to their deceased parent and their own marriages leave a lot to be desired. All ends well for the elderly twosome, but not before the entire second generation is in nervous fits. The theater at 12 Augusta Street in Kingston is air conditioned and handicapped-accessible. Tickets cost $20 for adults or $18 for seniors age 62 or older or children age 12 and under. Reservations may be made at (845) 331-2476 or at www.coachhouseplayers.org.

Gang Show returns, with one letter changed, to Rosendale Theatre The Gong Show, a legendary amateur talent contest from the late 1970s, has been revived, restored and renamed The Gang Show at the Rosendale Theatre, making an appearance on Saturday, July 12 at 9:30 p.m. after the evening’s movie screening. Admission costs $5. The show has been rechristened due to a conflict of rights with the Off-Broadway production. The Rosendale Theatre’s Gang Show is a contest for amateur performers with unique and unusual talents who are judged on a scale of one to ten. During the first 45 seconds of the performance, if any judge considers an act to be unworthy of scoring, he or she can bang the gong, eliminating them from the contest. Then a woman with her dog comes out from behind the curtain and sweeps them off the stage. There is no admission fee for contestants who sign up online and no auditions necessary. The winner of the evening receives a cheap, worthless plastic statue. Performers beware: Do not become a contestant if you take yourself seriously as an artist. The Gang Show is all about waiting 45 seconds and then banging that thing and throwing talent off the stage. If an act does manage to survive the gong, then it’s up against scoring and commentary from our crazy panel of judges, all very silly and in good fun. The show will be hosted by a special character invented by writer and performer Doug Motel with a panel of equally colorful judges including the glamorous Zsa Zsa Galore (Carrie Wykoff ), Granny Clampet (Jan Melchior) and the ruthless Vito Malone (Ron Parenti). Hopefully Vito’s henchmen, Tony and Yuri, will also be on hand to make and take bribes. Live music will be provided by the Rosendale Improvement Association Pit Band and Social Club. The show is rated R; children under age 17 require an accompanying parent or guardian.

O villainy! Kurt Rhoads schemes brilliantly as Iago in Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival’s Othello at Boscobel

illiam Shakespeare’s gifts to the world include more than a few memorable villains – choice enough to make literary critics quibble as to which holds pride of place on the Ten Worst list. But Othello’s nemesis Iago always seems to fall within the top three, and for many he is the juiciest of all. A remorseless master manipulator who would have done Machiavelli proud, Iago sets nearly all of the play’s action in motion, is onstage more often than not and gets way more lines to perform than the noble, unsuspecting Moor. In the words of eminent critic Harold Bloom, “It is Othello’s tragedy but it is Iago’s play.” Such a meaty role – a career soldier ever outwardly loyal and “honest,” even as he is scheming the overthrow of his rival and his superior officer – is of course catnip to serious actors, and many a fine Iago has been embodied over the centuries by eminent thespians. This summer, 17year Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival (HVSF) veteran Kurt Rhoads gets his crack at the “pernicious caitiff,” as Othello is performed in repertory at Boscobel in Garrison with Two Gentlemen of Verona and Corneille’s The Liar through the end of August. Directed by Christopher V. Edwards, the HVSF production is a straightforward interpretation, not digressing too far into contemporary sociopolitical analysis of its subtext about racism and sexism. Nor does Rhoads offer any hints in his acting of the recently popular hypothesis that Iago is partially motivated by repressed homoerotic yearnings toward Othello. The production could fairly be described as site-specific, taking advantage of the fact that the US Military Academy at West Point is a clearly visible backdrop to the play’s action. The playbill specifies “a contemporary military setting,” and Act One, Scene One commences with a platoon of soldiers dressed in blue camouflage materializing out of the heat

haze over the Hudson Highlands and marching in crisp formation into the tent that forms the Festival stage. In this context, we need no subtler explanation for Iago’s treachery than the fact that his long and distinguished service has been disregarded in favor of a younger, less battle-tested officer, Cassio (Andy Rindlisbach). When we first meet Iago he is grinding his teeth with envy, scorning Cassio as “a great arithmetician… That never set a squadron in the field,/ Nor the division of a battle knows/ More than a spinster.” (One cannot help wondering whether this speech is what inspired W. S. Gilbert to write the song “I Am the Very Model of a Modern MajorGeneral.”) From first introduction to final undoing, Rhoads portrays Iago not as a slimy, sneaking conniver, but as a rigidspined authoritarian whose sense of the proper order of things is offended to the breaking point by being passed over for a well-earned promotion to the general’s lieutenant. He has played the long game long enough, and now he has run out of patience; he is ready to fight dirty and take everyone else down with him if need be. Hell hath no fury like a control freak who perceives matters spiraling out of his control. Rhoads is absolutely chilling in the role, with an edge of mordant humor in the scenes where he effortlessly shapes Desdemona’s spurned suitor Roderigo (an excellent Jason O’Connell) to his will, milking the foolish nobleman’s fat purse and using him as his catspaw to undermine both Cassio’s new position and Othello’s new marriage. Game of Thrones fans will easily recognize in his Iago the classical template for George R. R. Martin’s cunning power player Lord Petyr Baelish, a/k/a Littlefinger. Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain,

and perhaps all his veiled ambitions will bear fruit in his own good time. The down side of a really strong casting choice for Iago, of course, is the danger anticipated by Bloom that the villain can run away with the play if not balanced by an equally powerful title character. That is true to some degree in this production. With not a whole lot of Shakespeare experience under his belt, Leopold Lowe’s performance is uneven. He gets some aspects of Othello pitchperfect, such as his entrancement with his new wife in the scenes b e f o r e Ia g o’s seeds of jealousy over Desdemona’s alleged infidelity with Cassio take root. When he interacts with his troops or defends himself before the Venetian Senate, we totally believe in Othello’s reputation as a forceful and decisive military leader who commands respect wherever he goes, however his detractors, like Desdemona’s father Brabantio (Stephen Paul Johnson), may play the race card behind his back. But because the action in this play is so tightly telescoped over a mere few days, the scenes where Othello’s simple faith in his blameless wife is shaken and quickly twisted into murderous jealousy are very tricky to pull off. The Moor needs to be a man of formidable passions that can be manipulated by a skillful and determined insider, even though he be unassailable by external foes. He needs to project force of character even while he begins to fall under Iago’s lying spell and experience unaccustomed doubt. Lowe occasionally loses his way a bit in the scenes where Iago is feeding Othello suspicions about Desdemona one crumb at a time. The fact that his back is nearly always turned to some section of the audience on HVSF’s proscenium stage exacerbates the fact that he does not always project his lines as clearly as one might wish in this crucial

transitional scene. His physical acting, by contrast, can be really persuasive, as when he simulates Othello having a seizure or in the strangulation scene, which is suitably horrific. Since this show runs all summer, we can fairly hope that Lowe will grow into his demanding title role. Susannah Millonzi provides him with a fine foil; her Desdemona, while appropriately naïve, is no wimp, showing some spirit of selfpreservation even in her bewilderment over her formerly ardent bridegroom’s rage. Some of the best bits in Othello, including a great speech about double standards for sexual fidelity, are reserved for Iago’s wife Emilia, Desdemona’s ladyin-waiting. By casting HVSF’s other longtime treasure Nancy Williamson in the role, Edwards trains a spotlight on the scenes demonstrating Iago’s contempt for women in general and his wife in particular. Shakespeare merely has him unjustifiably suspicious that Emilia may have cuckolded him with Othello; but the real-life husband-and-wife acting team manages to add new layers of nuance, such as the notion that Iago no longer has any use for a wife who is merely a servingwoman, with little further capacity for advancing his ambitions beyond filching a certain potentially incriminating handkerchief from her mistress. Rhoads and Williamson shine separately, but really crackle with dramatic tension when they’re performing together. All told, HVSF’s current production of Othello, the Moor of Venice is a richly rewarding evening of theater that ought not to be missed. Performances at Boscobel House and Gardens’ 540-seat outdoor pavilion are scheduled for July 10, 13, 16, 19, 21, 24, 30, August 2, 4, 7, 12, 15, 17, 21, 24, 27 and 30; check the HVSF website at http://hvshakespeare.org for alternate venues.

MOVIE

ALMANAC WEEKLY CASTING SUSAN SARANDON

as one of the two chicks in a chick road movie inevitably begs comparison to the edgy Thelma and Louise, but the simile doesn’t hold up.

Road hog Melissa McCarthy is intermittently funny, mostly abrasive in Tammy

ome summer Fridays, every new movie being released just seems like a waste of time, even as an excuse to get out of the heat for a couple of hours. Last week was one of those weeks. I wasn’t going to part with any of my hard-earned cash to sit through yet another Transformers movie; I could peer through the chainlink fence of any junkyard for nothin’ if I just wanted to watch large piles of metal stuff getting smashed up. So Tammy it was. When a movie has a great cast, sometimes I ignore any negative advance scuttlebutt, in hopes that the caliber of acting talent will somehow elevate a poorly written or directed vehicle. And once in a while such naïve optimism is at least mildly rewarded – but in Tammy’s case, not so much. How do you put a lineup of heavyweight actresses like Susan Sarandon, Kathy Bates, Allison Janney, Sandra Oh and Toni Collette together and have the filmed result add up to so little? Have the screenplay written by its star, Melissa McCarthy, and directed by her husband, B e n Fa l c o n e . McCarthy made a big splash and copped lots of Supporting Actress awards and nominations with her breakout role in Bridesmaids in 2011; but it’s one thing to embody gross-out humor, feminine-style, as part of a larger ensemble who are also doing other things, and quite another to have such a character hog the spotlight throughout the whole movie. McCarthy’s title character in Tammy gets some points for outrageousness, but is too crass, pushy, hostile and sure that she’s always right – even though she’s dumb as dirt, or at best ignorant – to engage our sympathies as the protagonist. Sarandon gets enough screentime to be somewhat believable as a horny, devil-may-care, alcoholic grandmother (if you buy her being old enough to be Janney’s mother and Janney old enough to be McCarthy’s, which I didn’t) who wants to get away from her daughter’s dysfunctional household and the threat of being institutionalized. I was willing to buy the premise that Grandma Pearl would volunteer her car and her bankroll to head out on a road trip with her granddaughter

Susan Sarandon and Melissa McCarthy in Tammy

after Tammy totals her car, gets fired from a fast-food joint for arriving there late and then finds out that her husband (Nat Faxon) is having an affair with the next-door neighbor (Collette) when she gets home early. But I was never really sold on the extremes of stupid, reckless behavior that immediately ensue once Tammy and Pearl hit the road. It’s just way too overthe-top. C a s t i n g Sarandon as one of the two chicks in a chick road movie inevitably begs comparison to the edgy Thelma and Louise, but the simile doesn’t hold up. Tammy actually reminded me a lot more, in its high implausibility quotient for the sake of the broadest sort of humor, of Planes, Trains and Automobiles: another flick that I didn’t like very much (although I gather that a lot of other folks cherish some affection for it). Tammy pushes the boundaries of silliness without ever quite making the leap to classic farce or Pythonesque absurdity. It just seems like an excuse for McCarthy to do her schtick: being generally offensive and cadging cheap laughs by talking trash a mile a minute while making visual fun of her own waddling gait and hefty silhouette. Once she has thoroughly established this charmless character, McCarthy then interpolates scenes that are presumably meant to evoke pathos – as in one where

Tammy has to sleep on the doorstep because Pearl has picked up a hot older man (Gary Cole) in a bluegrass club and locked her out of their motel room. But by then it’s already abundantly clear that Tammy has made her own bed and must sleep in it just as the proverb dictates. The romance that she writes in for herself with a shy farmer named Bobby (Mark Duplass) doesn’t seem believable either. There just seems no persuasive reason for Bobby – or the audience – to like her. That’s not to say that Tammy fails utterly as comedy. There were, admittedly, quite a few scenes where I did laugh – though not as many as those where I was presumably supposed to laugh but didn’t. A sequence where Tammy robs another fast-food joint with a paper gun, vacillating between trying to be a badass, portly counterhopping ninja and apologetically trying to make friends with the young woman behind the counter (Sarah Baker), is fairly amusing. Probably the coolest scene involves

As the head lesbian, Pearl’s wealthy cousin Lenore, Bates confers a bit of her trademark gravitas on a movie that doesn’t really deserve any, giving Tammy the long-overdue lecture that magically induces her to get her act together. If you like Melissa McCarthy’s sloppy sort of humor and your home has no air conditioning, you might find Tammy worth the price of a ticket on a sweltering summer afternoon. Otherwise, I’d recommend giving this one a pass. – Frances Marion Platt To read Frances Marion Platt’s previous movie reviews & other film-related pieces, visit our Almanac Weekly website at HudsonValleyAlmanacWeekly.com and click on the “film” tab.

up the vascular system. You may have heard of fusarium wilt of tomatoes and other vegetables. Fear not spread of fusarium among these vegetables, because different vegetables have their own fusarium subspecies. Cucumbers have F. oxysporum f.sp. cucumerinum, cantaloupes have F. oxysporum f.sp. cubense and peas have F. oxysporum f.sp. pisi. How cozy. Fusarium wilt probably never made it past my garden gate. It was probably already in my soil at some low level. Over the years, I’m guessing that it built up to a critical mass and was inadvertently spread

– by me – on trowels, boots and trellising. That leads to one way to keep the disease in check: Clean trowels before planting peas; clean hoes before hoeing peas; and clean or torch the chickenwire trellises and metal support posts that keep the vines off the ground. Some pea varieties are resistant to fusarium disease. But there are a few races of the disease. A variety resistant to one race may be susceptible to another race. Planting a resistant variety one year did not ratchet up my “good gardener rating.” The plants succumbed to the disease as in other years, and understandably so, since

Summer Home & Garden

This year I’m back in the game again with peas – and an excellent harvest it is: abundant, early and flavorful! (These are shelling peas, which take longer to mature than snap peas or snow peas, but also taste better, even if they do need shelling.) One thing that I did this spring – the thing that I’m touting as responsible for

my good crop – was to plant the pea seeds in my south vegetable garden, where I haven’t grown peas for the past six years. My wan efforts over the years have been plantings in my north vegetable garden, and they have been consistent failures. F. oxysporum f.sp. pisi survives from year to year in the soil as spores – very hardy spores, so hardy that the recommendation is frequently made not to plant peas again, ever again, in tainted soil. Other recommendations are to wait five or ten years before replanting. In either case, of course, it’s necessary to be very careful about spreading the disease again on tools, boots or trellises. And again, the ideal would be to plant disease resistant varieties. People sometimes ask me if I rotate my crops each year. Crop rotation does not involve twirling plants; it’s moving certain plants – be they in a botanical family or part eaten – to different parts of the garden each year. In the case of plant families, it’s a way to reduce pest problems, because family members may host the same pest (clubroot disease of broccoli, cabbage, turnips and radishes, for example). A pest that overwinters in the ground will eventually starve if a suitable host is not

on hand on which to feed. A pest that flies or that shoots spores far and wide can travel some distance to find a host; but that, fortunately, is beyond the capacity of many pests. In the case of rotating by part eaten, such as leaf, fruit or root, the idea is to balance nutrient uptake. Leafy vegetables are hungry for nitrogen, root vegetables

for potassium and fruiting vegetables for phosphorus. It’s generally safe to rotate vegetables on a three-year cycle – that is, not to return a vegetable in the same family or with the same part eaten to the same place sooner than within three years. Planting in beds makes this easy because, once the garden is planned out, you just move the crop to

the next bed, or two beds away for further distance, each year. Do I rotate my crops? You betcha. With peas, I’ll try the three-year rotation in the south vegetable garden. And I’ll wait at least another five years before planting them again in the north vegetable garden, then giving the south garden a “rest” from them. It’s good to be unzipping green pods again and scooping out the sweet peas within. Drip irrigation saves water, makes for healthier plants and less weeds and is easily automated to eliminate watering chores. I will be holding a Drip Irrigation Workshop on July 19 from 2 to 5:30 p.m. where I’ll cover the benefits of drip irrigation, how to design a system and where to source components. This workshop includes a hands-on installation of a complete drip system in an existing vegetable garden and berry planting.

Bevier House Museum hosts “Landscape Gardens on the Hudson” talk on Sunday Author Robert Toole will present an informative talk on “Landscape Gardens on the Hudson” at the Bevier House Museum on Sunday, July 13 at 3 p.m. Toole will speak about 19thcentury landscape gardening at the great mansions that border the Hudson River. The Hudson River is the home of the most significant designed 19th-century landscape gardening in America. The landscape gardens at the region’s great estates like the Vanderbilt Mansion, Sunnyside, Olana, Clermont and Montgomery Place became the model for New York City’s Central Park and urban parks across America. The Valley’s role in the mid-1800s as the birthplace of American landscape architecture is one of its lesser-known contributions to American culture, but one with repercussions that continue to affect every community across the country today.

intersection between spirituality and the environment has evolved since the Beacon Institute series began in 2011 and the simultaneous, rapid decline of our global environment, Harper, Kaebnick and Cronin will expose current thinking culled from the front lines of their respective worlds. The goal of the event will be to explore new ground for spirituality, ethics and environmental experience to transcend human numbness and activate a paradigm shift for the Earth. Harper, whose work with GreenFaith is to “inspire, educate and mobilize people of diverse religious backgrounds for environmental leadership,” sees the need for moving beyond discussion, citing

Oxford University’s recent urging to take action through fossil fuel divestiture and the upcoming People’s Climate Mobilization event in New York City this September. Dr. Kaebnick’s perspective, as reflected in his newly released book Humans in Nature: The World as We Find It and the World as We Create It (Oxford 2014), uncovers our relationship to nature; he will explore how a secular, mindful approach can be an ally leading to environmental action. Cronin, whose current view questions the efficacy of public policy with the failure of the Clean Water Act, will weave his 40 years of environmental experience throughout the exploration of spiritual

and ethical next-steps. Pastor Geer, board member of the Hastings Center and member of the New York State Task Force on Life and the Law, will moderate the conversation. Online registration for this event is requested. For more information about upcoming Beacon Institute events, visit www.bire.org/events.

Hudson River Day on the Rondout waterfront The Hudson River Maritime Museum’s annual Hudson River Day will be held on Saturday, July 19 from 11 a.m.

Beacon Institute’s “Spirituality, Ethics & Environment” talk The fourth in a series of “Spirituality and the Environment” discussions at the Beacon Institute will take place on Thursday, July 17 at 7 p.m. at the Center for Environmental Innovation and Education at Denning’s Point in Beacon. The series, which began in 2011 to explore the role of spirituality in protecting the environment, will expand in 2014 with the addition of Ethics to help break new ground on how to mobilize cultural will in the face of a dire crisis. The Beacon Institute for Rivers and Estuaries, Clarkson University will engage the expertise of Reverend Fletcher Harper, executive director of GreenFaith, Greg Kaebnick, bioethics research scholar for the Hastings Center and John Cronin, senior fellow for environmental affairs at Pace University and former Riverkeeper, for “Spirituality, Ethics and the Environment,” a conversation moderated by Pastor Frank Geer of St. Philip’s Church in Garrison on Thursday, July 17 at 7 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.

NIGHT SKY

First visit to an unknown world New Horizons spacecraft to send pix of Pluto in 2015

luto is at opposition this month, meaning that it’s now at its brightest. That’s not good enough. It’s too dim to appear in even the finest binoculars. Even a large amateur telescope merely shows it as a faint speck, and you’d need a super-accurate star chart to distinguish it from the zillions of other faint dots in Sagittarius, in the direction of the 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. Strange stuff. No spacecraft has ever visited its frozen surface – but that’s about to change. Exactly a year from now, after spending eight lonely years en route, the fastest-ever spacecraft will arrive there. Next summer, when the New Horizons mission zooms past Pluto (it cannot stop and orbit), the tiny blurry world will suddenly blossom into glorious new detail. So this is our last year of it being truly mysterious. As we all know, in 2006 the International Astronomical Union, the world body that decides such things, demoted Pluto to a dwarf planet. It was probably the right call. The first problem is that Pluto is far smaller than any other planet, with only four percent of the mass of even tiny Mercury. Our Earth, which weighs 81 times more than the Moon, weighs 2,000 times more than Pluto. The second issue is that it has a very unplanetlike orbit, from every angle. But astronomers could have lived with those things. The clincher was finding more Plutos out there. Eris is even bigger than Pluto, while Makemake, Quaoar, Sedna and

Pluto remains a popular world, and the public is unhappy with the decision to demote it from the ranks of major planets.

to 5 p.m. on the Museum’s waterfront docks at the Kingston Home Port and Education Center at 50 Rondout Landing in Kingston. The free, family-friendly festival grew out of the success and enthusiasm created by the 2009 Hudson/Fulton/Champlain Quadricentennial and fills the void that was left when a moratorium was placed on fishing shad and hosting shad festivals. The purpose of the event is to celebrate this history and legacy, as well as the ongoing stewardship of the river. Various historical industries will be represented, including bluestone and agriculture, with traditional and innovative approaches to farming and food production. Transition Kingston’s Gai Galitzine has provided the festival with over a dozen regional “agri-entrepreneurs” who will display their products and discuss their methods. Riverkeeper and Clearwater’s representatives and educators will be present to discuss river ecology, education and advocacy. Among the recreational and competitive sports, rowing and kayaking will be demonstrated. Other maritime-related vendors will be present as well. Visiting vessels include the museum’s 1898 steam tugboat Mathilda, who proudly reigns over the courtyard and now has a public viewing port to observe

her historic steam engine. The towboat Alida’s restored cabin house installed near Mathilda’s propeller is a recent donation. Other vessels available for viewing will be the sailboat Osprey, the tugboat Pilot and the perriauger Mercury. A festival favorite, the authentic small steamboat Mary Theodora, will offer brief rides on the Rondout Creek on a limited, ticketed, first-come/first-served basis. Children’s interactive activities will include a mini-boatbuilding workshop, followed by a “floatability test” in the Home Port Pool, and designing a mural with faux bricks. Live music will be provided in the blue Gazebo by Payne’s Grey Sky and Ben Rounds.

a few others are almost as large. If Pluto’s a planet, then these others must be, too. Eventually we’d have dozens of tiny icy planets that are all very different from the original eight. It became clear that there’s a Kuiper Belt out there with thousands of small, icy unplanetlike bodies, and Pluto’s one of them. It’s really a Kuiper Belt Object: a KBO. But astronomers ultimately decided not to label Pluto a KBO. Instead, they created a new category, and called it a dwarf planet. They threw a few other celestial bodies into that bin, too – including the largest asteroid Ceres, which orbits right here in the inner solar system. That’s because Ceres and Pluto are both spherical. So you’re free to call Ceres an asteroid, a dwarf planet or a minor planet. No wonder people find astronomy confusing. (By the way, Ceres is now meeting the brightest asteroid, Vesta, in the constellation Virgo. This is quite a rare encounter.) Pluto remains a popular world, and the public is unhappy with the decision to demote it from the ranks of major planets. I think that’s largely because everyone likes its name. I’ll bet folks wouldn’t be as sorry to see Uranus bite the dust. It’s no coincidence that the cartoon dog has the same name as the planet, or ex-planet. Actually, Walt Disney’s only non-speaking character was originally named Rover in an earlier cartoon. In 1931, a year after Pluto’s discovery, the Disney folks decided to exploit the global publicity of that newly found world, and changed the character’s name. Maybe they should now keep pace with the latest changes and make the cartoon character a “dwarf dog.” Nah. – Bob Berman Want to know more?

July 10-17 Dutchess Outreach soup kitchen needs volunteers

I wish I could say that soup kitchens and food pantries aren’t necessary anymore, but until then, I’ll keep mentioning ways we can all help. My kids and I recently worked our first four-hour shift at Dutchess Outreach’s soup kitchen, the Lunchbox, to prepare and serve the meal. The timing is flexible: Some of the other volunteers came from work and stayed just to assist with the food prep. We all wore the required hairnets, plastic gloves and closed-toe shoes, and we stayed busy the entire time working at various stations, such as buttering countless slices of bread or plating salads. We learned a lot, and we loved it. Because the Lunchbox is open to serve meals to the community almost every day, including school and work holidays, families have a unique opportunity to volunteer together. In addition to cash and food donations, the Lunchbox always needs volunteers to help prepare and serve meals, as well as a few assorted kitchen items. Right now, it could use dishrags, potholders, utensils, mugs and plastic cups without handles (so they can stack). Anything from this supply list may be dropped off during regular hours of the Lunchbox or at Dutchess Outreach, located upstairs. Dutchess Outreach and the Lunchbox are located at 29 North Hamilton Street in Poughkeepsie. For more information, call (845) 454-3792 or visit www. dutchessoutreach.org.

Six Flags Great Escape My family’s recent visit to the Six Flags Great Escape amusement park was a hit, and we can’t wait to go back. The last time I was there, the orange loop coaster where I took my first upside-down ride as a teen was the park’s newest addition. Great Escape has grown and improved and offers a variety of rides and attractions for all ages, from the vintage Storyland nursery-rhyme-and-fairytale village to the 19-story free-fall Sasquatch ride to the hilarious high-diver show. Try to arrive early at the outdoor water park so you can grab a deck chair before they’re snatched up, and of course, bring your bathing suits.

You’ll also need your wallet. I will say that one upshot of paying $20 for parking is that you are immediately introduced to the high cost of the games and concessionstand food. Bags are inspected at the park entrance; no outside food or beverages are permitted except for one sealed water bottle per person. Confiscated food is donated. For anyone interested in free admission, school and home educators can score complimentary tickets through the Six Flags Read to Succeed program, which grants free park admission to adults and children under 13 years. After your visit to Great Escape, I recommend walking across the street to Martha’s Dandee Creme for some of the 14 delectable soft-serve flavors, such as birthday cake, cotton candy or coffee, and it’s cheap!

Hang with Yogi Bear Camping at Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Parks is a chance to soften the edges of roughing it, so it’s a good fit for families who are new to camping, as well as for experienced campers who want to relax. The two Jellystone camps in the Hudson Valley are Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park at Lazy River in Gardiner and Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park: Woodridge, just outside of Ellenville. Highlights of the Gardiner camp are its proximity to outside amenities such as grocery stores and gas stations; the Lazy River, which is accessed directly from the campsites for fishing, kayaking, canoeing and tubing; and a full snack bar that looks over two different swimming pools. The Woodridge camp features thoughtful conveniences, such as ample bathrooms and showers, easy parking for almost anywhere you want to go and abundant foliage separating the campsites; a fountain-filled splash pool, in addition to the regular swimming pool and Jacuzzi, with lots of shade; a large trampolinelike jumping pillow for all-age bouncing; and a large, modern playground in the field

SOMETIMES WE’RE ASKED

Why newspapers? Print is dead, right? Wrong. Studies show readers retain more of what they read in print because it’s easier to focus. Fewer distractions. The web is great for breaking news bytes, but our in-depth stories are best consumed in print. We only write local stories, so every issue is bound to contain something you didn’t know about your community. You lose that sense of discovery on the web, where you’re less likely to happen on something you weren’t looking for. And while our website is too primitive for such things, many sites collect browsing data for advertising. Our ads would never be so presumptious. We print on recycled paper when possible, so it’s sustainable—and accessible to those without the Internet or iPads; not to be overlooked in a Democracy.

legals LEGAL NOTICE Ulster County Community Development Block Grant Program Combined Notice Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) and Notice of Intent to Request Release of Funds (NOI/RROF) TO ALL INTERESTED AGENCIES, GROUPS AND PERSONS: Notice of Finding of No Significant Impact The County of Ulster has determined that the project described below will not constitute an action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment and accordingly, the County of Ulster has decided not to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA, 42 USC 4321). The County of Ulster will assume NEPA environmental review responsibilities for this project from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) according to HUD environmental review regulations at 24 CFR Part 58. Program Title: Achieving Homeownership in Ulster County Location: Scattered sites in Ulster County (excepting the City of Kingston) Purpose of Project: To assist low and moderate income residents with down payments, closing costs and home repairs. Projected assistance to 15 households with 10 of these receiving assistance for post-closing repairs. The average subsidy for combined home purchase and rehabilitation will be $25,000 per unit with a maximum cap of $30,000. The average rehabilitation assistance will be $15,000 with a maximum cap of $25,000 for repairs. Estimated Cost: $500,000 in CDBG funds and $150,000 in other grant funds. The reasons for the decision not to prepare such Statement are as follows: The project is not of sufficient size, scale or mass and does not exceed the threshold criteria established for the preparation of a statement nor will the project have a significant impact on the human environment under NEPA. An Environmental Review Record has been made by the County of Ulster which documents the environmental review of the project and more fully sets forth the reasons why such Statement is not required. This Environmental Review Record is available for download at http://ulstercountyny.gov/planning/housing-home and is available for public inspection during normal business hours at the following location: Ulster County Planning Dept. Ulster County Office Bldg. 3rd Floor 244 Fair St. Kingston, NY No further environmental review of this project is proposed to be conducted, prior to release of funds. Written comments on the substance or procedure of the environmental review will be accepted by the County of Ulster at the following address until July 25, 2014. Dennis Doyle, Planning Director Ulster County Planning Dept. PO Box 1800 Kingston, NY 12402-1800 All such comments so received will be considered and the County of Ulster will not request the release of Federal funds or take any administrative action on the within project prior to the expiration of the comment period as indicated above. Notice of Intent to Request Release of Funds This notice allows for procedural objections

to the Office of Community Renewal (OCR) and is separate from the findings notice printed above. The County of Ulster must certify to OCR that it has complied with all requirements of HUD environmental review regulations at 24 CFR Part 58, including receipt of public comments, before federal funds can be released for the project described above. The County of Ulster will submit a request for release of grant funds and an environmental certification to OCR on or about July 28, 2014. The County of Ulster will undertake the program with NYS CDBG funds from OCR. The County of Ulster is certifying to OCR that the County of Ulster and Dennis Doyle in his official capacity as Certifying Officer consent to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to environmental reviews, decision-making, and action; and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. The legal effect of the certification is that upon OCR’s approval, funds may be used for this program, and HUD will have satisfied its responsibilities under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and other related laws and authorities. OCR will accept an objection to its approval of the release of funds and acceptance of the certification only if it is on one of the following bases: a) that the certification was not in fact executed by the chief executive officer or other officer of applicant approved by HUD; or b) that applicant’s environmental review to the RROF for the project omitted a required decision, finding, or step applicable to the project in the environmental review process, or c) other specific grounds in HUD regulations at 24 CFR 58.75. An Environmental Review Record is available for download at http://ulstercountyny.gov/planning/housing-home. It is on file at the address below and is available for public examination and copying, upon request, during normal business hours. Ulster County Planning Dept.

DEAR BUSINESSMAN/WOMAN- We at Hardscrabble Flea Market & Swap Meet would like to congratulate you on being picked from over 100 businesses in your field. We believe we can help each other- We have a swap meet every Sunday, 8 a.m.-4 p.m. at Holy Cow Shopping Center, in addition to a flea market/garage sale. We find that when business people set up a table w/business cards & flyers or â&#x20AC;&#x153;show how to doâ&#x20AC;? projects it will definitely increase your business (and mine). Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great way to introduce your business to new/old customers. And, if you have leftover merchandise youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to sell- this would be a perfect way to unload it.

So many folks ask my advice on selling their homes that I thought I’d take a moment to offer some suggestions for a few common problems. Want to reinvigorate a wimpy shower head? Gently unscrew it from the pipe and soak it overnight in vinegar. Use some Teflon tape when reinstalling it. House smell musty? If you’ve got a forced air furnace, put just a few drops of vanilla extract on the filter and turn the fan on (or the heat if it’s winter), and your home will smell fantastic! You can also put it on a towel and hang it in front of a fan. Men locating a stud? Use a Stud Finder; it’s an annoying device that never goes off when you point it at yourself.

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

MORE FROM THE ULSTER COUNTY SPCA; These 5 cats are in special need of loving foster or adoptive homes. Please read to see why... MYSTERY; about 10-years old & total lap cat. She came to the shelter w/a rash over her whole body. Her skin is beautiful now but she’s still feeling the stress of not being in a home. She eats special food as we think she may have food allergies. She’s a petite polydactyl tuxedo so her extra toes can hug you even more! STARFISH; also petite. She has a beautiful gray coat and golden eyes. She’s been in the shelter for more than a year. She’s one of the cats rescued from a huge humane law seizure. Before she was rescued, Starfish was bullied by the larger cats in the hoarder’s house and suffered skin wounds that are improving but taking a long time to heal. She’s about 2-3 years and we think a loving home (foster or adoptive) would give Starfish the peace she needs to fully recover. Such a sweet and friendly kitty. JAMIE; beautiful small gray tabby. He’s about 1-yr. old and been in the shelter for a few months. The shelter is trying different foods to see which ones will work for his delicate stomach. We hope that in a loving home he’ll experience calm and feel better. BELVEDERE has captured everyone’s heart. This 10-11 yr. old big white cat w/brown markings was left in a carrier on the side of the road. He must’ve been in the carrier for days because he suffered
