Hudson Valley Chalk Festival at New Paltz’s Water Street Market

The third annual Hudson Valley Chalk Festival returns to New Paltz Friday, July 18 through Sunday, July 20. More than 21 professional artists who specialize in creating street chalk art will travel from all around the country to work alongside 14 local talents creating eye-catching pastel works on the pavement of the upper parking lot at the Water Street Market on Main Street. Admission to the three-day event from 9:30 a.m. to dusk each day is free for spectators. Chalk art on the street is, of course, a temporary artform, but its ephemeral qualities are part of the attraction for its makers, who enjoy the “here today, gone tomorrow” aspects of pavement painting, comparing the process to performance art and enjoying the interaction with viewers as they work. The artform can be traced back to 16th-century Italy, where artists would travel the festival circuit with other performers to earn money and perhaps line up a commission for painting work. The tradition was revived in this country in the 1970s, and ever since there has been a growing cadre of well-respected street artists who travel the country to participate in events like the one in New Paltz. Some of the most interesting artwork created at these festivals achieves

a three-dimensional effect, as if the images are breaking the visual boundaries of the street. In some cases, viewers can even

insert themselves into the art and when photographed, it appears as if they’re part of the scene.

Leaving the house can be a wild ride...

For spectators who feel inspired to try their hand at drawing on pavement, the open chalking area will have one-foot-byone-foot squares individually marked off, and chalk supplied. Another popular feature from last year will be back, too, said event spokesperson Amanda Lipstein: the Chalk Car. The Chalk Car? Turns out that it’s a 2004 Hyundai owned by Armonk-based artist and SUNY-Geneseo Psychology and Linguistics student Philip Romano, who decided a few years back to paint his car with chalkboard paint. He routinely parks it in prominent locations, leaves chalk on the roof and the invitation “draw on me” written on the car in chalk and leaves it unattended for people to draw on. (The car also has license plates that read “DRAWONME.”) Until it rains, or until he wants a blank slate for another location, Romano drives the car around embellished with whatever was drawn on the car in his absence. The Hudson Valley Chalk Festival drew an estimated 4,000 attendees to its first event in 2012. Last year, more than 8,000 people came out to watch the artists at work and to enjoy the associated activities. There are puppet shows and free face-painting for kids and raffles for the adults. Live music will be provided by Nina Mars, Morning Child, Shep and the Coconuts, Me & My Ex, Vito Petroccitto, Dave Chapman and Hayne & Samuel. The Hudson Valley Chalk Festival is also partnering with Arrive in Kenya, a nonprofit group that helps impoverished children, with the idea being to “raise awareness for street children through street art,” said Lipstein. Several of the professional artists will be chalking images of the children who are being helped by the organization, she added. The local artists participating were chosen after the Festival Committee reviewed samples of their artwork and statements about why the person wanted to participate and what they could bring to the festival. No past chalking experience was necessary, and they’re representative of a wide range of age and artistic experience, said Lipstein; but all of the local artists do have an art background of some kind. In some cases, they were put in touch with the professional street artists to get tips and advice. Participating local artists are Thomas Gould, Liliana Washburn, Carmen Doyon, Sara Wenger, Katie Better, Amelia Craig, Marie Saladino, Hannah Parrella, Katherine Parrella, Maya Manfred, Rebecca Hanson, Rosalind Banks and Roxanne and Greg Correll, a father/ daughter team with Dad a former New Yorker magazine illustrator, said Lipstein. The participating professional artists are David Lepore, Jeanie Burns, Henry Darnell, Jay Schwartz, Janet Tombros, Julio Jimenez, Michael Las Casas, Lysa Ashley, Cheryl and Wayne Renshaw, Joel Yau, Rod Tryon, Nate and Jill Baranowski, Graham Curtis, Ann Hefferman, Sharyn Namnath, Hector Diaz and Ken Mullen and Shane Mesmer. And what effect will weather conditions have? In the event of light rain, the artists will cover their work with tarps until showers pass. “It’s just part of the experience of dealing with the unexpected in this artform,” said Lipstein. But if it’s an out-and-out storm, the artists will move inside to local gymnasiums, and works will be done on canvas. To check on any last-minute changes, check the event’s Facebook page and website listed below. – Sharyn Flanagan Hudson Valley Chalk Festival, FridaySunday, July 18-20, 9:30 a.m.-dusk, free, Water Street Market, 10 Main Street, New Paltz; www.hudsonvalleychalkfestival. com, www.facebook.com/hvchalkfestival.

EVENT

HUDSON RIVER DAY ON RONDOUT WATERFRONT

T

he Hudson River Maritime Museum’s annual Hudson River Day will be held on Saturday, July 19 from 11 a.m. 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 WILL DENDIS | ALMANAC WEEKLY 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. For more information, call Lana Chassman at (845) 338-0071, extension 15, e-mail lchassman@hrmm.org or visit www. hrmm.org.

Thunder in the Valley Pow-Wow this weekend One might reasonably presume that the Town of Shandaken hamlet

known as Big Indian would have acquired its name from some nearby natural feature, like a rock outcrop resembling a human profile. But according to local lore, there really was a Big Indian, sometime prior to the

coming of the railroad to the area in the 1880s: a seven-foot-tall Munsee from Marbletown whose real name was Winnesook. A Marbletown woman of European descent named Gertrude Molyneux eloped with him into

the Catskills, fleeing an arranged marriage. But the jilted fiancé pursued the couple and shot Winnesook, and tradition has it that he died at the foot of a gigantic pine tree that once stood in the spot where the hamlet that bears his nickname grew up. So it’s rather appropriate that Big Indian Valley Park should be the site of regular gatherings of indigenous Americans and their friends and admirers, organized by the Native American/Big Indian Cultural Center, Inc. and Thunder Bear Drum Circle to celebrate Native culture. This weekend the group’s annual intertribal summer festival, the Thunder in the Valley Pow-Wow, will be held at the park from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, July 19 and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, July 20. Traditional Native American drumming, singing, dancing, music, storytelling, children’s crafts and foods are highlighted at the Pow-Wow. Among this year’s performers will be Spirit of Thunderheart Drum, Sint Sink Drum, dancer Henrietta Wise, storytellers Jim Red Fox Sarles and Evan Pritchard, Aztec dancers the Salinas Family and Cheyenne flutist Joseph Firecrow. The guest drum for Saturday will be Ramopough’s Spirit of the Mountain Singers. Admission to the festival costs $5 for adults, $3 for seniors and children aged 6 to 12. No drugs, alcohol or firearms are permitted at the Powwow. For more information call (845) 254-4238 or visit www.facebook.com/ bigindianculturalcenter/info. – Frances Marion Platt Thunder in the Valley Pow-Wow, July 19-20, Saturday, 10 a.m.-6 p.m., Sunday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m., $5/$3, Big Indian Valley Park, 8293 Route 28, Big Indian; (845) 254-4238, www.facebook.com/bigindianculturalcenter/info.

THIS YEAR’S BOTTOMLESS LIST OF ACTS at the Rosendale Street Festival is a real testament to the depth and quality of the local talent pool.

Takin’ it to the street

Six stages rocking for two full days at the Rosendale Street Festival

I

t’s no secret: The Rosendale Street Festival is literally the hottest gig of the year. In the past few seasons, showtime temperatures have been sniffing at three digits. The sun is a brutal hammer. A picture of me playing with Ratboy on the Mountain Stage four years ago is the reason I will never gig in shorts again. But blazing heat and all, the people come, huddling in the shade of beer tents and sidestreets, praying for thunderstorms. The people come so reliably that the festival organizers have to keep reminding us that it’s not an invincible, assured thing, and that we need to keep supporting this free and sprawling, music-centric community festival. There’s a lot going on at the venerable Street Festival. I only care about music, really. With six stages rocking for two full days, the Festival perforce reflects the diversities of the local scene. But here’s one of the nice perqs of having a scene, which we actually kinda do these days: The curators can still have biases, preferences, some favored styles and temperaments. And they can depart from it in ways that are intentional, not ofnecessity. Traditionally, the Street Festival sound is roots, folk and world; jazz, blues and funk; kids’ music early and devilbilly late, courtesy of one of the Street Festival’s flagship acts, the great Pitchfork Militia. This year’s bottomless list of acts is a real testament to the depth and quality of the local talent pool. There’s the uptown, immaculate funk and soul of Mad Satta. (What crazy-good horn charts that band has; I heard them from several miles away, on New Paltz fireworks night, and was floored, right there on the rail trail). The Old Double E brings the evangelical retro-bluegrass and folk. Earl Lundy’s other project, the possessed heavy funk

LAUREN THOMAS | ALMANAC WEEKLY

A scene from last year’s Rosendale Street Fest

group Voodelic that he co-fronts with our hero Ross Rice, will be closing the festival in what they are calling one of their final performances. The Compact mostly works the other side of the river; Erin Hobson’s deceptively easygoing songs and articulate, jazz-grade guitarwork are always worth the trip. Kevin Sharp will tread two stages: one with the brilliant, long-running heavy punk outfit Tiger Piss and once with his own Red Nekromancer, a self-described country metal project (“Death to false country metal!”). Paul McMahon is the least-predictable folkie ever, because he’s not a folkie. Joey Eppard, solo, is so intensely talented that it is kind of hard to watch. An appearance by the storied nightmare surf band Purple K’nif means that there’s actually a chance that John Lefsky will show this year. And there stand Los Doggies, the wildly imaginative heavy prog comedians and scholars who are the outsiders on every bill. Between Dylan Doyle, Myles Mancuso and elder statesmen Murali Coryell and Big Sister, the blues guitars are in the

ablest hands. Reminding us that this is a festival run by serious musicians are the Street Fest All-Stars, with heavies like Ross Rice, Jimmy Eppard, Charlie Knicely and Carrie Wykoff, several of whom run this great old thing. – John Burdick Rosendale Street Festival, Saturday/ Sunday, July 19-20; free (but with a suggested donation of $5). Shuttles run from parking areas at the Bloomington Firehouse, Tillson School, Brookside School, Rondout Municipal Center and Iron Mountain Kiln lot on Binnewater Road.

They will stretch their hot grooves, clever riffs and stock progressions into songlike things and not think terribly hard about the importance of form and arc. They will assume that emotional

sincerity and the manners of soul alone are enough to carry the day as a lyricist and a melodist. They will call on all their finest player friends, and the final

ten more attention than it did, because it was at least as good as John Mayer’s last. On his new release Jeremy Mage & the Magi (2014, Tummy Touch Records), the New Paltz-born multi-instrumentalist and credentialed New York City sideman Jeremy Mage can hardly be accused of taking the songwriting challenge lightly, or following the beaten path. The nine short pieces on this focused-but-eclectic collection are fastidiously crafted art/ groove songs that insist on invention and surprise. The lyrics have been worked hard, refined to an imagistic, gemlike flame at times, and at others, striking in their conversational, autobiographical candor. Marvels of microfocus, dynamics and detail, the songs have also been selected and sequenced for strong thematic coherence. On some songs, groove truly is the thing: the album’s centerpiece tandem of “Forever Revolution” and “Long Coastline,” for example. The former evokes the quirky, avant-groove sensibility and global consciousness of Kiko and Colossal Head Los Lobos, the latter the subtle funk counterpoint of Little Feat – not the Little Feat of Dixie Chicken, but the underrated, swanky and cerebral Little Feat of The Last Record Album and Time Loves a Hero. But even in these elegant, spacious groove workouts, Mage’s melodies sustain their shapeliness, their sharp corners and their surprises. For this achievement alone – resisting the ever-ready option of blues/ soul melodic cliché – Jeremy Mage & the Magi deserves to be considered as a thing wholly apart from the genre of groovebased songwriting, with which it will often be carelessly grouped. To be sure, Mage is a groovemeister of a high order. Part of that is natural, part of it acquired. Whether on his main instrument – keys – or guitar or percussion, Mage’s playing has that width and sweep, that margin for expression and for error, that has always distinguished players with great natural time-feel. That part may be inherited, but Mage has schooled it assiduously and with a global purview. He credits Rosendale’s Dean Jones as a casual and abiding mentor in his international musical education, along with a veritable Hall of Fame of notable locals: pianist John Esposito, the late drummer and educator Gene Randolph and world-oriented area musicians like Steve Gorn and Dana Flavin. So Mage has the universe of groove under his fingers, and this album proves it track after track: the percolating

GREY FOX BLUEGRASS FESTIVAL THIS WEEKEND

I

t’s time again for one of the finest bluegrass festivals in the nation (USA Today ranked it second in the country): Grey Fox, up in Oak Hill in Greene County, is four days of blissful picking, Thursday, July 17 through Sunday, July 20, that features a lineup of top acts in the field. These include the return of Nickel Creek, featuring mandolinist Chris Thile; the great Del McCoury’s 75th birthday celebration; upstate New Yorkers the Gibson Brothers; Claire Lynch, who’s originally from Kingston; the Carolina Chocolate Drops; the Steep Canyon Rangers, who recorded with Steve Martin, the Dry Branch Fire Squad; the Hillbenders and on and on. In 2008, the festival moved from Columbia County over the river to Greene, to Walsh Farm in Oak Hill, up off Route 145. There are multiple stages, including a main stage and smaller venues with continuous music; a family tent, which will feature favorites such as the Brooklyn band Astrograss and the venerable artist Steve Charney and his dummy Harry. There’s a Bluegrass Academy for Kids, a Slow Jam Tent and a Grass Roots learning tent. Woodstock’s banjo legend Bill Keith will be there, as always, dispensing the immeasurable pearls of musical intellect that only he is capable of bestowing. In all, more than 40 bands, dozens of Grammy, IBMA and Americana Music Award-winners will be performing, and most are generally available for a tip or two or a jam at some point. Three-quarters of the attendees are camping on-site, and those spots provide most of the jamming that goes on until late at night, as most have brought instruments. Full-festival camping tickets cost $195 per person; a camping vehicle pass costs $20 more. Children 12 and under get in free with a ticketed adult. Day tickets cost $65 per person Thursday, Friday and Saturday and $30 on Sunday. GPS coordinates are N42° 24.3883’, W074° 9.4297’ according to www.gpsvisualizer.com.

Amidst all that rhythmic and referential diversity, Mage uses his sonic palette to establish coherence among the songs. Here, we can really detect the influence of Dean Jones, for Mage too favors sounds that are high-character, funky and small, wheezy, fritzy, chintzy and broken. Static is played like a drum, toys are repurposed in ways spooky and surreal, keyboards fried in fuzz. As a sound farmer, Mage aligns

himself with dub and with the colorful, experimental electro-play of post-Colonial African music. But though the palette is wide and sometimes cartoonish, the deployment is strict – Minimalist, even – especially on “In July,” an oddly sparse song in which every single funky sound is discrete and palpable enough to grab right out of the air.

ALMANAC WEEKLY

July 17, 2014

or-hate (put me down for “love”) numbers – a candid, in some ways artless biography of the guitar that is the sole instrument on the track. This is followed by the koan- and paradox-riddled Lydian piano ballad, “I Am My Own”: an Eastern philosophical poem and another dangerous yes-or-no proposition. Kudos to Jeremy Mage for all the limb-walking, risk-taking and gutsy conceptual songwriting on this fine and fully realized record. To hear and purchase Jeremy Mage & the Magi, visit http://jeremymage. bandcamp.com or any online music retailer. Jeremy Mage performs solo with friends at the Hopped Up Café in High Falls on Friday, July 18 at 9 p.m. Jeremy Mage & the Magi perform at the Falcon in Marlboro on Saturday, August 9 at 7 p.m. with Arc Iris. – John Burdick

REM’s Baseball Project plays Storm King & Helsinki Hudson

B

aseball draws eclectic fans. Consider the Baseball Project, a musical act that some liken to the supergroups of yore, set to play at the Storm King Art Center on Sunday, July 20 and at Helsinki Hudson on Wednesday, July 23. Formed of two parts REM (Mike Mills and Peter Buck), plus parts of several other bands with ties to the former indie charttoppers, the idea was to write and perform only baseball songs – although that which constitutes such a song has morphed quite a bit in the seven years that the band has been playing together, recording and touring odd sites each summer. Their show at Storm King Art Center starts at 2 p.m., with the band Happiness opening. At Helsinki they go on at 8 p.m. Talk about fun, and a great excuse for not only a seventh-inning stretch over the Andy Goldsworthy winding wall, but maybe even an updated round of “Take Me out...to the Richard Serra?” – Paul Smart The Baseball Project, Sunday, July 20, 2 p.m., $15, Storm King Art Center, 1 Museum Road, New Windsor; www.stormking.org. Wednesday, July 23, 8 p.m., $15 advance, $18 day of show, Helsinki Hudson, 405 Columbia Street, Hudson, (518) 828-4800; www.helsinkihudson.com.

arrangement, global sensibility and innovative production, yes; but on the album’s final two tracks, Mage declares decisively that this is a songwriter’s record – not a player’s, not a producer’s. “My Father’s Guitar” is an audacious and experimental piece: a monophonic bluesy chant in which the verbal phrase, not the musical phrase, drives the length of the irregular melody, Gregorian-style. It is destined to be one of those binary love-

Belleayre hosts Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes will play Belleayre on Saturday, July 19 at 8 p.m. The group first achieved prominence in the mid-1970s, emerging from the same New Jersey Shore music scene as Bruce Springsteen. Southside’s first three albums, I Don’t Want to Go Home, This Time It’s for Real and Hearts of Stone were produced by band co-founder Steven Van Zandt (E Street Band, The Sopranos), and largely featured songs written by Van Zandt or Springsteen. The Van Zandt-written “I Don’t Want to Go Home” became Southside’s signature song: an evocative mixture of horn-based melodic riffs and sentimental lyrics. In 1982 Rolling Stone Magazine voted Southside Johnny’s Hearts of Stone among the Top 100 albums of the 1970s and 1980s. Tickets cost $36 to $66 or $26 for lawn seating.

Those elements of the musical legend, as well as an actual opportunity to hear his music played on instruments from his day, will be the focus of a special lecture, “Liszt and the Rise of the Virtuoso Pianist,” taking place on Saturday afternoon, July 19 at the Doctorow Center for the Arts’ Piano Performance Museum in Hunter under the auspices of the always-energetic and enterprising Catskill Mountain Foundation. The lecture will feature Dr. Jeffrey Langford and Dr. Joanne Polk speaking about Liszt, the historic role played by innovations in piano-building throughout the early 19th century and demonstrations of the man’s playing via his compositions, as well as the various pianos on view in

the museum space where all will take place. Both Langford and Polk are on the faculty of the Manhattan School of Music, with the former having served as a pre-concert lecturer at the New York Metropolitan Opera for the past ten years (and author of Evenings at the Opera, a collection of essays). Polk is an exclusive Steinway artist who is one of the founders of Manhattan in the Mountains: a threeweek summer music festival and intensive in the Catskill Mountains for piano and string musicians devoted to chamber music, solo performing and community engagement.

Shandaken hosts Arts Festival this weekend This weekend’s annual Shandaken Arts Festival began emerging during last week’s intermittent thundershowers. Signs popped up carrying the mountain-lion-and-painter’s-palette logo for the townwide event. Then catamount sculptures began appearing at the entrance to the Catskill Interpretive Center site on Route 28 outside Mount Tremper, or along the road past Belleayre Mountain in Highmount. Every time, the appearance of the Arts Festival lends a new light to the vibrant central Catskills landscape, pointing out the bittersweet beauty of human creativity amidst the lushness of nature at its wildest. Whether abstracted representational pieces or pure concoctions of the imagination, the new pieces back up what everyone has long known about this town that encompasses the hamlets of Phoenicia, Pine Hill, Chichester, Big Indian, Mount Tremper and the like: that

One of the most beautiful ways to explore the artistic history of the region comes via the Thomas Cole House (Cedar Grove) in Catskill’s series of guided hikes on the Hudson River School Art Trail. The next monthly guided hike takes place at North/South Lake on Saturday, July 19, with a focus on the site of the historic Catskill Mountain House. This trek is easy (unlike, say, next month’s hike to Kaaterskill Falls). Admission includes copies of the Hudson River School Art Trail Guidebook, entrance fee to the North/South Lake state park and a tour of the Thomas Cole House in Catskill at the end of the day. Advance registration is necessary to join this guided tour (http://www. thomascole.org/hike-reser vationform/), although more about the Art Trail, with maps you can follow on your own, can be learned at www.hudsonriverschool.org. – Paul Smart

it’s fun, yet takes its sense of stewardship of its central place in the Catskill Mountains seriously. Taking place on Friday through Sunday, July 18-20, the Shandaken Arts Festival incorporates open studios accessible on a self-guided tour, with print and online maps. It includes the aforementioned pop-up sculpture gardens at the two ends of the community. There’s a big group exhibit featuring local talents at the Arts Upstairs in Phoenicia, plus a Poets’ Garden exhibit on High Street in Phoenicia and other shows at the Pine Hill Community Center, Emerson Spa & Resort, Ulster Savings Bank in Phoenicia and Big Indian Pow-Wow site on Route 28. There are also events ranging from the Saturday-night opening potluck in Phoenicia to a Friday-night Spoken Word Festival featuring many of the town’s great, quirky writers – from rock bards and memoirists to the poets Anique Taylor and Sparrow – on the lawn at Mama’s Boy in the middle of Phoenicia (up inside the STS Playhouse, should it rain). Seem like a lot to do? Anything in Shandaken involves driving some of the region’s most scenic highways and byways. There are creeks to wade into everywhere. And the larger hamlets are fun-filled this time of year. Best of all, it’s much cooler than most of the Hudson Valley, and almost entirely mosquito-free. – Paul Smart Shandaken Arts Festival, Friday-Sunday, July 18-20: Spoken Word Festival, Friday, 6:30 p.m., mid-Phoenicia; reception party, Saturday, 6 p.m., Arts Upstairs; www.shandakenart.com.

Aim for the heart – not the ankle Banville & Kleist’s Love in the Wars at Bard daringly reimagines Trojan War tropes

T

here’s something special about attending the world premiere of a play – a frisson of excitement in the audience that lets you know right off that, with luck, you might end up telling your grandkids that you were there way back when it was officially unveiled. Or it could turn out to be a bomb that is quickly and blessedly forgotten; you never know until it unfolds before your eyes. It’s a heady moment of potentiality. I experienced one of those moments last weekend at a mid-Hudson venue that specializes in delivering them on an annual basis: Bard SummerScape. The new play in question – whose run continues through July 20 – is Love in the Wars, a translation and adaptation by the acclaimed Irish novelist John Banville of the “ultimately untranslatable” Heinrich von Kleist’s romantic drama Penthesilea. It’s an audacious take on a millenniaold subject that manages to merge high classicism with ironic modernity of language, often in the same speech. The play is set during the Trojan War, but make no mistake: This is not your Greek Classics 101 Trojan War. If you come to see it expecting the narrative that has become so familiar via Homer’s Iliad, Virgil’s Aeneid or even Shakespeare’s

OBIE-WINNING DIRECTOR KEN RUS SCHMOLL moves his chesspieces adroitly around a stage brilliantly devoid of any scenery except for a sloping white backdrop where characters not currently in the action fade into mist, and a dirt floor that turns to mud as rain – lots of it – pours down from above as the impassioned pair gird for their final battle.

the propulsive core of this hothouse drama. Modern pop psychology explains the difficulty that the sexes have in understanding each other by saying that men are from Mars and women from Venus; in this case, both parties are very much from Mars – in fact, Penthesilea is traditionally described as a half-human daughter of the war god Ares. But what we have here is failure to communicate, make no mistake. Admiring his topshelf warrior genes, the Amazon wants Achilles for her mate, but is bound by her tribal traditions to conquer him first. For his part, the hitherto-undefeated Greek hero gets a little too cocky, repeatedly (and fatally) underestimating his rival on account of her sex. Complicating matters are the shifting tides of battle, the Trojan forces JULIETA CERVANTES Chris Stack & Birgit Huppuch caught in the middle, the question of appropriate Troilus and Cressida, you’re going to treatment of prisoners of war, the find yourself utterly baffled. Best forget other Greek leaders’ impatience with anything that you ever heard about the headstrong Achilles and differing Achilles’ ankle being his only vulnerable priorities amongst the Amazon leadership, part. who have certain religious rituals to fulfill This tale of the involvement in that before they can take their hunky captives home for procreation purposes. There’s conflict of a volunteer squadron of some nifty swordplay as well as a fair bit Amazon fighters, culminating in a of strategy talk, with Jeffrey Binder as fatal combat between their queen the wily Odysseus predictably getting the Penthesilea (Birgit Huppuch) and the Greek champion Achilles (Chris Stack), cleverest lines on the Greek side. KeiLyn is loosely based on an episode that never Jones convincingly radiates command as made it into standard sources. Kleist and Agamemnon, with Karen Kandel as the Banville’s versions even overturn some High Priestess exuding a balancing power basic premises of the Classical Greek and among the Amazons. Karen Pittman Roman writers who do record the story – (currently appearing in a small role in the Quintus Smyrnaeus, Pseudo-Apollodorus, movie Begin Again, reviewed elsewhere in Proclus and Diodorus Siculus among this edition of Almanac Weekly) brings lots of heart to the part of Penthesilea’s them – by having Penthesilea take most intimate friend and advisor, Prothoë, Achilles captive and eventually do him in, instead of having the Greek captain who labors in vain to talk some sense into kill the warrior queen in their very first the desire-addled queen. clash, as per the Classical canon. Both principal actors do an excellent job. This more protracted encounter gives Stack as Achilles comes across as every the two famous fighters time to become bit as full of himself as any swaggering smitten with one another, and it’s the overpaid sports star, though not immune to a formidable woman’s charms. Working madness of sudden passion that forms

herself into a frustrated frenzy, Huppuch effectively channels the Furies that supposedly tormented Penthesilea after she accidentally killed her sister-queen Hippolyta while out hunting. That bit of backstory isn’t mentioned in Love in the Wars, but you can read it in the actress’ every tense, explosive move. Obie-winning director Ken Rus Schmoll moves his chesspieces adroitly and without fuss around a stage brilliantly devoid of any scenery except for a sloping white backdrop where characters not currently in the action fade into mist, and a dirt floor that turns to mud as rain – lots of it – pours down from above as the impassioned pair gird for their final battle. Special props to Marsha Ginsberg for the ingeniously atmospheric set design. Inventive staging choices can make a production especially memorable, but when it comes to durability, the play’s the thing. Banville has done a masterful job of modernizing a quirky, iconoclastic work by an early-19th-century German Romantic, interweaving lines that seems as colloquial and immediate as anything that you’d hear on the street with soaring passages as mannered-but-lyrical as a Shakespearean soliloquy – all without the seams showing. For its language alone, it’s a work that deserves a firm place in the repertoire of 21st-century theater; but only time will tell who takes it up next. So it would be wise to catch it while you can, this weekend at the black-box Theater Two in the Fisher Center on the Bard College campus.

The son of man Spirited Jesus Christ Superstar at Woodstock Playhouse n 1970, when the original album version of Jesus Christ Superstar came out hard on the heels of the Who’s Tommy, sold massive numbers of copies and went on to score as Billboard’s top-selling LP of 1971, it looked like rock operas were becoming a big trend. They didn’t; that was about the peak of it, although “concept albums” certainly became more popular afterwards. What did really take off as a result of Superstar’s success were the careers, together and separately, of composer Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyricist Tim Rice. They were 22 and 26 at the time, respectively, and Jesus Christ Superstar – their third collaboration, and the first one that caught the public ear – is not their best or most mature work. But it was almost immediately staged for Broadway, where it ran for more than 700 performances, was nominated for five Tonys, won Lloyd Webber a Most Promising Composer Drama Desk Award and made a big star of Ben Vereen. From there it went on to London’s West End and endless productions all over the world, including two Broadway revivals. Right now it’s running at the Woodstock Playhouse, directed by Randy Conti, and you’ll have four more opportunities to

theater previews All that glitters Powerhouse Theater workshops new Beth Henley comedy Laugh this weekend at Vassar P u l i t z e r Prize-winning playwright and Oscarnominated screenwriter Beth Henley is a golden name in the theatrical universe. Her Crimes of the Heart is a widely revived Beth Henley modern classic, and every few years she comes out with a new play about love and family ties, showing off her trademark Southern Gothic sense of humor. Among other movies she wrote the screenplay for Nobody’s Fool, the 1986 Paul Newman vehicle that was set and shot right here in Beacon, Fishkill, Poughkeepsie and Hudson. Henley’s ties to our region include a long and deep association with New York Stage and Film/Vassar College’s Powerhouse Theater, which is now well into its 2014 summer season. Three of Henley’s plays spent some of their developmental stages on the Vassar campus in Poughkeepsie, and the author serves on Powerhouse’s Artistic Advisory Board. She has a new piece in the works, and you’ll be able to get an early peek at it this weekend in one of Powerhouse’s Inside Look Workshops. Directed by David Schweizer, Laugh by Beth Henley comes with the following capsule description: “Mabel’s had a hard few weeks: A dynamite accident at a gold mine has left her wealthy but orphaned, and she’s shipped off to a scheming aunt and a long-lost cousin, who’s charged with seducing her to control Mabel’s fortune. This hapless courtship reveals a shared love of silent movies and a plan for greater things.” Expect slapstick mishaps and some improbable romance. Laugh will be performed in the Susan Stein Shiva Theater on the Vassar campus beginning at 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, July 18 and 19, and at 2 and 7 p.m. on Sunday, July 20.

The production boasts a fresh young cast consisting mainly of college students, a Minimalist set consisting mainly of scaffolding, eclectic thrift-store costuming and boisterous ensemble dance numbers that, taken together, strongly evoke the hippie aesthetic of late ’60s/early ’70s theater pieces like Hair, Your Own Thing, the Public Theater’s production of Two Gentlemen of Verona or the original Jesus Christ Superstar itself. What’s the secret of Superstar’s enduring appeal? The variety of styles of the music is one of its strong suits, ranging from anthem rock to frothy pop ballads to Rudy Vallée-style ragtime in “Herod’s Song” to the hard-bop jazz instrumental of the crucifixion scene. But arguably, most of what makes the show intriguing to people is its treatment – groundbreaking and controversial in its time, though it seems rather mild today – of Jesus as a human being who never actually claims to be God, doesn’t get resurrected at the end and demonstrates no superpowers beyond correctly predicting Peter’s three denials and Judas’ betrayal. In the latter case, Jesus is shown as repeatedly and deliberately goading Judas into his act of perfidy, and much of the early negative reaction to the play in religious circles focused on its “rehabilitation” of the betrayer. Motivated by a desire to protect Jesus’ uppity followers from a Roman bloodbath, Judas

here bears more kinship to the honorable rebel Lucifer in Milton’s Paradise Lost than to the most evil human denizen of Hell’s Ninth Circle in Dante’s Inferno. (In fact, his final number, the showstopper “Superstar,” depicts Judas in Heaven even after having committed suicide: classified as a “mortal sin” last I checked.) Judas and Jesus are treated as the dark and light sides of the same coin in this show, both of them pawns in someone’s bigger game, playing out their predestined roles in the original passion play with very little free will involved. Weary of his celebrity and tormented by self-doubt, Jesus makes a game effort to bail out of the bloody endgame in his biggest number, “Gethsemane (I Only Want to Say)” before accepting that he’s already in too deep. This solo is also the best moment in Charlie Bonnin’s performance in the Woodstock Playhouse production. He possesses the vocal range necessary for the title role, which reaches high into the tenor stratosphere; but in the performance that I saw (in which, to be fair, the microphones were occasionally cutting out), Bonnin didn’t always project enough to outcompete the rest of the cast in the ensemble numbers. The actor certainly does have the look for the part and handles the dramatic demands of swinging from warm-and-fuzzy street preacher to furious temple-cleanser quite adequately. Some would argue that Judas is really

Upstate Films in Rhinebeck hosts National Theatre’s A Small Family Business Upstate Films in Rhinebeck will screen A Small Family Business from the London National Theatre on Sunday, July 20 at 1:30 p.m. The play chronicles a riotous exposure of entrepreneurial greed, written by Olivier Awardwinning playwright Alan Ayckbourn. Jack McCracken (Nigel Lindsay) is a man of principle in a corrupt world – but not for long. Moments after taking over his father-in-law’s business, he’s approached by a private detective armed with some compromising information. Jack’s integrity fades away as he discovers his extended family to be thieves and adulterers. Rampant selfinterest takes over and comic hysteria builds to a macabre climax. Tickets cost $15 for adults, $14 for seniors and students and $13 for members. For more information, visit www.upstatefilms.org/special-events.

the starring role in this musical, since it’s his angst over what he sees as his leader’s poor decisions that propels the plot (a plot that is, by the way, all about story and motivation, and nothing about Christian philosophy; we never actually hear a peep of Jesus’ teachings – but you can go see Godspell if you want that). It’s Judas who has to do most of the rockier belting in Jesus Christ Superstar, and Charles O’Connor has the big voice, athletic movement and dynamic presence to meet the task. At times, the character’s direction veers a little too heavily toward angst, with Judas having to fall to his knees and faceplant a couple of times too often to transcend melodrama. In this production as in the original, some of the most spine-tingling vocal moments belong to Caiaphas: a role that demands a scary-sounding bass voice that can also carry an edge of sarcastic humor. Kyle Graae demonstrates the requisite low-register chops and nails the air of menace as well. Brian Klimowski brings one of the best voices in this cast to the part of Caiaphas’ ecclesiastical sidekick Annas. Carlton Welch ably humanizes Pontius Pilate, Jamie Goldman dances exceptionally well as Simon Zealotes and Justin Ables is an absolute hoot as King Herod, depicted as an imperious Hollywood mogul surrounded by sycophants in garish poolside garb. The only significant female role in Superstar is Mary Magdalene, who gets saddled with too many reprises of

“Everything’s Alright,” one of Rice and Lloyd Webber’s wimpiest songs ever. Her compensation is the chance to sing the show’s biggest chart-topping hit, “I Don’t Know How to Love Him,” and Courtney Echols delivers a sweetly ambivalent rendition. The production’s ensemble includes plenty of talented young women as well as men, all in fine voice and dancing up a storm. Kudos to Merete Muenter for the simple-but-spirited choreography. And music director Brendan Shapiro has put together a splendid seven-piece pit band who knocked this eclectic and demanding score out of the park. Once again, the tuneful Jesus Christ Superstar proves that the account of the passion of Christ makes for thoughtprovokingly good story, even if you don’t happen to be a believer. That’s what makes something a classic. You can check out this exuberant production at the Woodstock Playhouse at 8 p.m. this Thursday through Saturday, July 17 to 19, and at 2 p.m. on Sunday, July 20. Ticket prices are $32, $36 and $40.

O

nce in a while a little indie movie with an unknown cast will make a big splash, if it has charm to spare. That happened in 2006 with Once: a tuneful fable about buskers falling in love in Dublin that put Irish director John Carney on the map, won a Best Original Song Oscar and spawned a successful Broadway musical. Now Carney’s back, trying to make the magic happen again – but with bankable stars this time – and just about succeeds. Try to imagine the Coen brothers’ Inside Llewyn Davis updated to contemporary New York City, with characters who are actually mostly likable and

without anybody getting beaten up (that is to say, without the Coen brothers), and you’ll get a rough picture of Carney’s latest confection, Begin Again. As in Once, the plot involves two people drawn together by a mutual love of music, attracted to each other and wondering what to do about that when there are other commitments involved. Our story begins with those people separately having a bad day: A British singer/songwriter named Gretta (Keira Knightley), who came to live in New York with her longtime boyfriend and performing collaborator Dave (Adam Levine) when he landed a big record contract, has just found out that success

has gone to Dave’s head in a very bad way. Not only has he gone commercial (with her material), but he’s also cheating on her with a pretty music executive. Meanwhile, a visionary, once-successful A & R man named Dan (Mark Ruffalo) gets canned by his business partner Saul (Mos Def ) from the record company that he founded himself, because none of the acts that he has signed in the past seven years has caught fire. The whole point of creating the new label – pointedly named Distressed Records – in the first place had been to buck the system by promoting worthy indie performers without the usual recording industry glitz and glam; but some of the rappers discovered by Dan in years past ended up making so much money that Saul has developed a taste for success and essentially sold out. Dan is striking out on the home front as well, estranged from his wife Miriam (Catherine Keener) and clueless about what’s really going on inside the head of his teenage daughter Violet (Hailee Steinfeld). A row ensues when Dan, who has been drinking all day, drops Violet off at her mother’s house, and so off he goes in search of more alcohol in spite of having no money left on his person. By the time he wanders into the little music club where Gretta has been dragged by an old busker pal chance-met on the street in an effort to cheer her up, Dan is pretty well soused. But then Gretta’s friend Steve (James Corden) finishes his set and insists that

she come up onstage and sing just one of her original songs. She’s feeling awful and her performance is low-key. And so the crowd tunes out – all but one. Dan, you see, has a special gift: a sort of synesthesia in which he can immediately identify the other instruments in the perfect arrangement for a song by a performer who meets his standards of authenticity (typified by Randy Newman: the first subject on which Dan and Gretta can agree once they get to talking). In a scene that’s kind of cheesy/brilliant, we see onscreen what Dan is drunkenly hearing in his head while Gretta sings, as phantom instruments get up and start playing themselves. Suddenly Dan has something to live for again, and immediately after her number he collars Gretta and begs her to record for him. She just as quickly reveals herself to be artistically uncompromising, wary of commercialization (especially after what it just did to her love life), and firmly puts off this wild-eyed, wild-haired stranger with bourbon breath. But she also notices that he has really heard her, and before the night is over, decides not to flee the Big Apple and head straight home to England as planned. As we in the Hudson Valley already know about our anti-fracking-activist-hero Catskills neighbor, Mark Ruffalo is just naturally a scruffy ball of adorableness, and any character that he plays is going to be hard to resist once he turns on the charm – even if that character starts out the movie as a drunken loser. When Saul fails to hear in Gretta’s demo what Dan hears, Dan persuades her to work with

The Dude abides The Big Lebowski screening party on Friday in Rhinebeck

A

h, the Dude. Who ever would have thought that Jeff Lebowski, as played by Jeff Bridges, would be a cult movie hero – bathrobe, bowling passion, White Russians and all? But screening parties for the Coen Brothers’ 1990s sleeper hit The Big Lebowski have become a big thing, with people dressing up as the Bridges character or his best bowling buddies, played by John Goodman and Steve Buscemi, archenemy John Turturro or love interest Julianne Moore and saying lines memorized from the film. Upstate Films in Rhinebeck will host a Big Lebowski screening party on Friday, July 18 at 9:15 p.m. Prizes will be given for the best costume. The celebration continues after the film next door at Liberty of Rhinebeck, where devoted fans can have a White Russian or “Nihilist” (cash bar). Expect some of the great music from the flick, including the fabulous Kenny Rogers oddity “Just Dropped In (to See What Condition My Condition Was In)” and a roomful of fans sipping those sweet vodka/ Kahlua/cream concoctions and repeating a mantra of “the Dude abides.” – Paul Smart Big Lebowski Screening Party, Friday, July 18, 9:15 p.m., Upstate Films, 6415 Montgomery Street, Rhinebeck; White Russians at Liberty of Rhinebeck afterwards (cash bar); (845) 876-2515, www.upstatefilms.org.

him to record a gritty full album en pleine air all over the City, ambient traffic noise and all. And so, as in so many memorable romantic comedies over many decades, New York City in all its diverse glory becomes one of the stars of the movie. Gradually these two bond over their shared artistic vision, wandering the City late at night sharing playlists with one CD-player and two sets of headphones on a splitter. There’s a wonderful scene where Gretta and Dan are in a disco, gleefully dancing to a different drummer from everyone else in the club. And in the process, healing happens for both; Dan starts to dry out; other folks get drawn in and sometimes changed for the better. Surly young Violet turns out to play a meaner electric guitar than anyone would have guessed; errant Dave owns up to his shallowness and acknowledges his former partner’s superior songwriting gifts; Miriam begins to remember what she saw in Dan long years back. Full of catchy-but-not-too-commercial tunes by Gregg Alexander of the New Radicals, the soundtrack for Begin Again is destined to be a hot item this summer. The dialogue is well-written, the almostlove story is sweet and wistful without becoming saccharine and the cast is uniformly fine – right down to rapper CeeLo Green as one of Dan’s former discoveries who owes him a solid and delivers when it’s most needed. In sum, the film is well-worth catching: an airy summertime treat for the eyes, ears and heartstrings. – 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.

Temple Emanuel in Kingston screens The Infidel this Saturday The monthly Movies with Spirit series has made a change in the previously announced screening for this Saturday, July 19. The film shown at 7 p.m. at Temple Emanuel at 243 Albany Avenue in Kingston will be The Infidel, an irreverent British comedy about a successful Muslim businessowner who discovers that not only was he adopted, but he was also born Jewish. His birth name? Solly Shimshillewitz. In addition to the shock, the revelation comes at the worst possible time for the man, as his son is trying to impress a fundamentalist Pakistani imam, the stepfather of his son’s fiancée. With help from his wisecracking American Jewish cab-driver neighbor, he tries to understand Jews and their religion and locates his birth father on his deathbed in a nursing home. The 2010 independent film is not rated, but is equivalent to PG-13. Running time is one hour and 45 minutes. The screening is followed by a question-and-answer session and refreshments. The monthly Movies with Spirit series, organized by Gerry Harrington of Kingston, seeks to stimulate people’s sense of joy and wonder, inspire compassion and evoke a deepened understanding of people’s integral connection with others. The films are screened in diverse houses of worship across Ulster and Dutchess Counties once a month. The series has no religious affiliation. Attendees over age 12 are asked to contribute $5 to offset series expenses. For more information, call (845) 389-9201 or e-mail gerryharrington@ mindspring.com.

TASTE

ALMANAC WEEKLY

Boice Brothers is seeking 900 volunteers to work in 5-person teams scooping out the ice cream, which will be layered under whipped cream, chocolate sauce, sprinkles & cherries. Once the sundae’s length has been documented, the eating of it commences.

VALENTINA STORTI

A sundae to remember Boice Brothers Dairy aims to break longest ice cream record at 100 th birthday festivities on Rondout promenade

W

ho knew that there were so many world records having to do with ice cream? There’s one for the most scoops of ice cream balanced on a cone (71, a record set on July 22, 2012 in Italy); the largest ice cream cone (over nine feet tall, created in January 2011, also in Italy); the largest ice cream sculpture (shaped like an 18th-century ship, made in Burbank, California in 2002 with 453 gallons of ice cream); and the longest ice cream dessert ( just under 1,200 feet, made at a resort in Florida last August).

900

But not so fast: That last record is set to be broken this week in Kingston along the Promenade on the Rondout. Boice Brothers Dairy, one of the oldest family dairy farms in the country (founded in 1914 and still run by the third and fourth generations of the family), is turning 100 years old. It’s throwing an Across the Generations Birthday Bash to celebrate on Sunday, July 20 from 12 noon to 4 p.m., which will include the making of the world’s longest ice cream dessert and place Kingston in the Guinness Book of World Records. The plan is to make an ice cream sundae the length of five football fields. It will weigh a ton – literally.

Jim Boice, great-grandson of the dairy’s founders Pratt and Harriett Boice, says that the building of the sundae will begin at 1 p.m. Tables will be pushed together all along the waterfront Promenade, and one of the event sponsors, Viking Industries of New Paltz, has engineered a cardboard “trough” of sorts to stretch the length. Boice Brothers is seeking 900 volunteers to work in five-person teams scooping out the ice cream, which will be layered under whipped cream, chocolate sauce, sprinkles and cherries. Once the sundae’s length has been documented on video and film, Kingston mayor Shayne Gallo will confirm the hopefully-recordbreaking status of the sundae, and then the eating of it commences. Volunteers who wish to take part in the scooping-out of the sundae should show up no later than 12:30 p.m. Preregister at the volunteer table set up at T. R. Gallo Park. Young kids aren’t eligible to scoop, but they can enjoy the free ice cream afterward. Tables are sponsored by many local businesses who are footing the cost of the supplies, with proceeds going toward a new program organized by the Hudson River Maritime Museum and the sloop Clearwater. The Hudson River Stewards program for fourth-graders is designed to create an interactive learning experience for elementary-school-age children, educating the next generation about the importance of the Hudson River in our lives. Tours and activities at the museum and the Clearwater will be part of the program. In addition to all that ice cream – hormone- and antibiotic-free, by the way – the Across the Generations event along the Promenade and at T. R. Gallo Park will also have live music and entertainment by Mister Kick, the Saints of Swing, the Percussion Orchestra of Kingston (POOK), the Energy Dance Company, clowns, mimes, hula-hoop artists, face-painting and more. Events will be broadcast live on WDST Radio Woodstock, with Jimmy Buff as emcee. Food will be supplied by local restaurants. – Sharyn Flanagan

Showcasing famous meals including the madcap tea party from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (pictured above), the watery gruel from Oliver Twist, the lavish chicken breakfast from To Kill a Mockingbird, the stomach-turning avocado-and-crabmeat salad from The Bell Jar and the seductive cupcakes from The Corrections, Fried pairs each place

Stream Walk for toddlers at Mohonk Preserve To me, Mohonk Preserve’s Toddlers on the Trail excursions are not just about exploring the woodland trails; they’re about saying to my family, “Nature is important to us.” They’re about snippets of conversation along the walk with someone who becomes a new friend.

NIGHT SKY

The darkest starry skies: They ’re this week

I

t’s now the dark of the Moon – and the warmest fortnight of summer, climatologically. Our typical nighttime low is now 60 degrees, making for comfortable stargazing. But where do you find the best skies? If we limit ourselves to a one-hour drive, then heading north and west is a good bet. The sky is pretty darn fine if you take Route 28 a few miles past Margaretville, and stop at a pull-off along the Pepacton Reservoir. If you travel east, then eastern Columbia or Dutchess Counties, say around Lake Taconic or north of Millerton, or Berkshire hilltops east of Great Barrington are outstanding. Very low humidity and higher elevations bring out even more stars. Last month in Arizona, the sky was amazing – but you had to be more than 50 miles from population centers, or all bets were off. My favorite skies in the world are in Chile. And I’m not alone: Many of the world’s greatest observatories have moved there. The Andes Mountains and the Atacama Desert are in a league by themselves. That’s why each year our tour company (Bermanastronomytours.com) rents a Chilean mountaintop equipped with giant telescopes, and we blow the minds of a few dozen people while also exploring that

in Wonderland at the Center for Performing Arts at Rhinebeck on Saturday, July 19 at 11 a.m. Tickets cost $7 for children, $9 for adults.

Hudson River Day Hudson River Day is a family-friendly celebration of our favorite estuary. On Saturday, July 19 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Hudson River Maritime Museum, activities include live music, free children’s activities, deck tours on the historic tugboat Pilot, rowing and kayaking demonstrations, discounted admission to the museum and more. The Hudson River Maritime Museum is located at 50 Rondout Landing in Kingston. For more information, call (845) 338-0071 or visit www.hrmm.org.

Rosendale Street Fest Did you know that the Rosendale Street Festival includes family music and children’s activities? On Saturday and Sunday, July 19 and 20, Main Street in Rosendale closes at 10:30 a.m. and music begins at 12 noon and continues on six stages until 9 p.m. on Saturday and until 7 p.m. on Sunday. The parades take place at 12 noon on Saturday, and at 5:30 p.m. on Sunday. Highlights for young people on Saturday include Kids Rock New Paltz at 1 p.m.; Ratboy, Jr. and Paul Green Rock Academy at 3 p.m.; and the Reel Expressions Youth Film Festival on both Saturday and Sunday beginning at 2 p.m. On Sunday, check out Mid-Hudson Music Together at 12 noon, Fuzzy Lollipop at 2 p.m., Grenadilla at 3 p.m., the Spiral Up Kids at 4 p.m. and the Percussion Orchestra of Kingston (POOK) and Energy Dance Company at 5 p.m. It can get pretty hot, so remember water, misters, hats and sunblock.

little-traveled part of the world. I hope that some of you join me there this October. Last year, two of our guests told us that not even the South Pole was as dark and starry. In such conditions, the Milky Way brilliantly casts your shadow on the ground. The combination of being hundreds of miles from any large city and standing thousands of feet up in dry air produces a firmament that is actually better than what astronauts see from outer space. I’ve witnessed equally beautiful skies in only a few other places. Parts of the Sonoran Desert around Organ Pipe National Monument near the Mexican border come close. The great Persian Desert in southeastern Iran, near Kerman, is a competitor, too; the Sahara, if you get deep into it, like to the White Desert. And if you get far enough into the Himalayas without killing yourself – although it’s not always clear there. If you know a little astronomy, the tests for a truly dark sky include seeing a half-dozen faint stars within the Big Dipper’s bowl, observing Orion’s belt embedded within a rich unnamed star cluster, observing the galaxy M33 with the naked eye and, in the Southern Hemisphere, having our companion galaxies, the Magellanic Clouds, pop out at you with true brilliance. Telescopically, great skies reveal such astounding detail in galaxies and nebulae that they produce involuntary gasps among even first-time viewers. Sadly, half the world now lives in cities. Throw in the suburbs that surround them, and it’s obvious that light pollution totally hides the splendor of the night sky for the vast majority. Urbanites who vacation “in the country” are still often on the edge of large towns, or they gaze up when the Moon is bright. Transported to the right place on the right night is an awesome, eye-opening experience. It immediately reveals why many primitive cultures like the Maya regarded the Milky Way as the centerpiece of life itself. It takes one to a mindset where beauty is dominant and knowledge is almost superfluous, as when you’re on the rim of the Grand Canyon. Around here, especially this week, you don’t have to go very far. – Bob Berman Want to know more?

Spend at least ten minutes watching your pet. If you don’t live with an animal, find a squirrel or bird outside to spy on. Take detailed notes. Everything they do is significant – in fact, the survival of the planet depends on it.

AS WITH SOME OF THOSE OTHER EXERCISE ROUTINES, equipment is needed – simple equipment in the case of Rei-King. Basically, the equipment is a pole, perpendicular to and at the end of which is a length of wood or metal, attached in its middle to the pole. From the lower side of the length of wood or metal are teeth, each a couple of inches apart and a couple of inches long.

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

Rei-King and Sai-Thing: Introducing two exotic new exercise regimes for gardeners

A

mong the many benefits of gardening is the opportunity that it offers for enjoyable, productive exercise in the great outdoors. And now we can add an exercise called Rei-King to Boot Camp, Pilates, Zumba, kickboxing, Cardiofunk and other ways modern humans build and maintain sleek, fit bodies – or so I told my wife Deb. As with some of those other exercise routines, equipment is needed – simple equipment in the case of Rei-King. Basically, the equipment is a pole, perpendicular to and at the end of which is a length of wood or metal, attached in its middle to the pole. From the lower side of the length of wood or metal are teeth,

each a couple of inches apart and a couple of inches long. Now for the exercise: You lift the pole just enough to bring the head off the ground, reach forward, and pull it towards you. For balanced exercise, it’s advised to switch which arm is most forward occasionally. Resistance is the way to build up muscle and endurance. That resistance comes in the form of friction from material lying on the ground. This time of year, that material might conveniently be mown long grass or hay. I sometimes practice Rei-King; more often I choose another exercise that complements Deb’s Rei-King. I

practice Sai-Thing (pronounced “sighthingâ€?). Like Rei-King, Sai-Thing entails using one piece of equipment: a sai. The sai also has a single pole – in this case with two handles attached, one at the upper end and one about halfway down. A metal weight is attached at the bottom of the sai. The metal is a couple of feet long, curved and sharpened on its inside edge. Muscle tone and strength are created by putting the left hand on the upper handle, the right hand on the lower handle, flexing the spine to the right and then unwinding it to the left while trailing the metal weight just above ground level. Again, Sai-Thing can be made more rigorous – in this case by passing the sharp metal through tall grass or meadow plants. The taller the plants, the denser the plants and the older the plants, the more the resistance. A side benefit of all this Sai-Thing is that grass or meadow plants get mown during the exercise. The fallen material drops right in place, providing an opportunity – for me or, more usually, Deb – then to practice Rei-King. By the way, either exercise is most enjoyable early in the morning. At that time, plants are turgid, so the sharpened metal of the sai pops plant cells as it is drawn along. And the fallen plants – best for Rei-King after lying on the ground a day or two to wilt – cling together nicely when heavy with dew. The cool morning air is also conducive to exercise. Many years ago I grew the few varieties of basil that were available and then wrote about them. My conclusion, at the time, was that taste differences among the varieties were minor, so the choice of what to grow should perhaps be on the fun of saying their names – which put Genova Profumatissima, Syracusa and Fino Verde Compatto at the top of the list. What fun to wave my arms and speak their names! Or a variety could be chosen for the size or color of its leaf, whether for decoration or culinary use. “Spicy Globe basil, planted close together, makes soft green mounds resembling a miniature boxwood hedge,â€? I wrote. Now we have yet another decorative form: Bonsai Basil. To create a bonsai basil, a variety such as Spicy Globe – perfect, with its diminutive, closely spaced leaves – is WWW .N.N D BDGB ONLINE .COM WWW G ONLINE

grafted onto a special rootstock. That rootstock is another variety of basil: one chosen, in a perfect world, to impart to the grafted plant vigor, disease resistance and hardiness. Periodically shearing such a plant keeps up appearances even as it provides basil for flavoring. Over time, the trunk even turns woody. Even better, carry on the fun and the flavor through winter. Basil is perennial in the tropics, but generally does not fare well in the cool, dry air and relatively dark conditions of a northern home in winter – all of which calls out for a vigorous, disease-resistant, hardy plant: a grafted basil. Grafted basils, even more than grafted tomatoes, are very much the new kid on the (grafted) block. A few weeks ago I was given a couple of grafted bonsai basil plants, and I’m planning to grow them as perennials. It turns out that my plants are on a rootstock called Nufar, which is resistant to fusarium disease. My soil doesn’t harbor basil fusarium disease, so that rootstock is of no benefit in that department. Perhaps it will help get the plant through the long, dark winter indoors, anyway. New rootstocks that could impart vigor and hardiness to help get a bonsai basil through winter (indoors, of course, around here) are on the horizon. Ah, fusarium: Reminds me of last week’s patting myself on my back about my conquest of pea fusarium, which has plagued me for years. Well, between last week and this week, fusarium has again reared its ugly head and the vines have yellowed. I did get a decent crop, however. Looks like management rather than conquest will be the key to annual harvests of peas. 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. Preregistration is a must; for information/ registration, contact me at (845) 2550417 or garden@leereich.com. – Lee Reich Any gardening questions?

July 17, 2014

odist Church on the corner of Main and Grove Streets. The Repair CafĂŠ offers the opportunity to drop in with something that needs to be repaired (a lamp that needs rewiring, an old piece of furniture, a favorite shirt that has split its seam or a beloved old toy in need of a little TLC) and minor fixes are made by “repair coachesâ€?: volunteers from the community with specialized skills who donate their time and efforts. Repairs are made while you watch or help; no guarantees are made. Homemade baked goods are offered at a nominal cost. Coffee and iced tea are free. Traditional repair skills are passed on, less stuff goes into the waste stream and community is built. There is no charge for repairs. A kids’ “take-apartâ€? table will be available, as will free ten-minute chair massages by licensed massage therapists, and also knife- and scissor-sharpening. Repair CafĂŠ is an ongoing event held the third Saturday of every other month, sponsored by the New Paltz United Methodist Church and the New Paltz Climate Action Coalition. The project is also coordinated with the Town of New Paltz Recycling Program and the Zero Waste Initiative of the Environmental Protection Agency. Event organizers are seeking skilled volunteers to serve as repair coaches for future events. For

Members of the Society will guide the public through a one-mile walk as they peel back the present to showcase the city’s past. Along the way, Newburgh’s characters will be discussed and buildings highlighted in their context. Newburgh hosts the second-largest historic district in the state of New York, composed of more than 1,000 buildings. The Society’s tour is a concise sample of local history covering businesses, cemeteries, churches, residences and schools. The tour will break for discussion on the lawn of the old 1841 courthouse, now known as the Newburgh Heritage Center. The Historical Society of Newburgh Bay and the Highlands was launched unofficially when the Hasbrouck House (Washington’s Headquarters in Newburgh) was in danger of demolition after the Revolutionary War. The current Society was incorporated in 1884. Its headquarters are in the 1830 Captain David Crawford House, which it purchased in 1954 to save from demolition. The Crawford House is open for tours on Sundays from 1 to 4 p.m. Currently on view is the exhibition “Made in Newburgh.” Admission costs $5. For more information, call (845) 561-2585.

real estate

I tell my agents that everyone wants to buy, but no one wants to be “sold.” I don’t like being “sold,” and there are some salespeople that give me the willies, partly because they are obviously out for themselves, and partly because they may say anything to convince you to buy. I find that nasty. When they shake my hand I have all can do to keep from counting my fingers to make sure they are all there. I hope you’ll find my agents different. They’re taught not to think of their commission until they have done their job, which is to earn your trust, and satisfy your needs. Until then, they haven’t earned a dime. If you’ve had a less-than-perfect experience, call me!

HERE ARE BENNY AND CHARLEY! “Benny” and “Charley” have been living with their foster mom for a month and are now ready for their forever homes. These two beautiful, male 9-week old beige tabby kittens are litter pan trained, free of disease, had their well-baby checkups and were given their first set of vaccinations. Benny and Charley are playful, social, affectionate, and get along with other cats. These are exceptional kittens, and if you are ready to take one or both of them into your loving home, please call (917) 282-2018. Earth I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in this necessity. There are none that can withstand your power. Oh, show me herein you are my mother. Oh Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee (3x). Holy Mary, I place this cause in your hands (3x). Holy Spirit, you who solve all problems, light all roads so that I can attain my goal. You who gave me the divine gift to forgive and

forget all evil against me and that in all instances in my life you are with me, I want in this short prayer to thank-you for all things as you confirm once again that I never want to be separated from you in eternal glory. Thank-you for your mercy towards me and mine. The person must say this prayer 3 consecutive days. After 3 days, the request will be granted. This prayer must be published after the favor is granted.

DEAR BUSINESSMAN/WOMAN- We at Hardscrabble Flea Market & Swap Meet would like to congratulate you on being picked from over 100 businesses in your field. We believe we can help each other- We have a swap meet every Sunday, 8 a.m.-4 p.m. at Holy Cow Shopping Center, in addition to a flea market/garage sale. We find that when business people set up a table w/business cards & flyers or “show how to do” projects it will definitely increase your business (and mine). It’s a great way to introduce your business to new/old customers. And, if you have leftover merchandise you’d like to sell- this would be a perfect way to unload it. Please give John a call for more details- (845)7581170. Spots are $12-$35.

oin us in sending your message to over 125,000 readers in print and online. Our beautifully designed special section

is inserted into all 5 of our publications and is full of advice, humor, nostalgia and style.

Harry and Sally are eight week old black and white kittens. From the look of their fur, it is very likely that they will have long hair. Their foster mother thinks they rank among the sweetest and friendliest kittens she has ever fostered. They have had their wellness checkup, are up to date with vaccinations and are litter pan trained. Harry and Sally are very attached to one another and we are looking for a forever home that will love and care for both of them for the rest of their lives.

This summer edition of our 2014 Celebrations will highlight the local venues, products and services needed to create a dream wedding.

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 open sores on his legs as he lay in his own waste. But Belvedere has recovered and loves people. How he and the others trust another human being is truly remarkable. Please call the Ulster County SPCA (845)331-5377 ext. 218 (Cat Supervisor) to find out more about these lovely cats.
