1. Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival at Oak Hill Of all the formidable roots, folk and bluegrass festivals that call this region home, Grey Fox is the one for the real acoustic music enthusiast, the deepest in bluegrass tradition and the

most stylistically focused. This fourday, five-stage festival seems to wrap its arms around the whole of the contemporary bluegrass and folk world, roping in the acknowledged masters of the form but priding itself equally on being the pipeline of new and undiscovered talents. The Festival offers

two subtitles, each revealing “A Who’s Who of Bluegrass” and “A gathering of music, learning, family and friends.”

So, yes, there are stars but, no, this festival is more about shared values and rituals of a large community of both listeners and players, pickers and grinners.

The 2015 lineup features familiar luminaries such as the Sam Bush Band, Béla Fleck & Abigail Washburn and the Del McCoury Bands. Durable legends of the trades, such as Peter Rowan and Bill Keith, are on board in force as well.

Upstart headliners include the Dry Branch Fire Squad (which hosts the festival),

The Grey Fox Festival goes down at Walsh Farm at 1 Poultney Road (off County Route 22) in Oak Hill. – John Burdick

When asked about highlights of the theater troupe’s long run doing outdoor Shakespeare for free each summer, Michaels’ co-founder, co-producer and co-director Aston-Reese commented how he had played Benedick twice, but was now casting himself as the lover’s father.

He also noted the number of young people who were introduced to theater by their productions and now acting with Birdon-a -Cliff, as well as the time “an English lord came in to play Hamlet.�

Asked about the big lessons learned over two decades, Michaels and AstonReese spoke at length about the vagaries of working outdoors with fickle Catskills

When Bird-on-a-Cliff’s Woodstock Shakespeare Festival first started playing shows on its own stage 20 years ago, outside Woodstock’s handsome office building on the Comeau Property, everything from the Elizabethan stage’s front to the balcony used for that summer’s productions of Romeo and Juliet and The Taming of the Shrew was screwed in – because the idea was that they would be there for just that summer. “Eventually that first stage withered away, and we replaced it with funding help from the Catskill Watershed Corporation,� says Birdon-a-Cliff ’s co-founder, Elli Michaels. “This summer we’re doing Much Ado about Nothing, since that was the very first play we did at the old outdoor Playhouse stage the year before we moved to the Comeau Property.�

The new “Wild West� production of one of the Bard’s most popular comedies – in which Beatrice and Benedick, while sparring wits, fall in love – will be playing every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from July 17 through August 9 at 5 p.m., with free admission (but donations accepted).

All attendees are asked to bring folding chairs or blankets. Later this summer, the Bird-on-a-Cliff Theater Company will present Jerry James and David AstonReese’s adaptation of L. Frank Baum’s The

improvement. “We’re looking forward to our next 20 years,� she adds. “There’s just something magical about Shakespeare’s language,� Aston-Reese chimed in. “It gets in your blood; it speaks to the heart.� – Paul Smart Woodstock Shakespeare Festival’s Much Ado about Nothing, Friday-Sunday, July 17-August 9, 5 p.m., free, Comeau Property, 45 Comeau Drive, Woodstock; (845) 247-4007, www.birdonacliff.org.

weather patterns. “We learned early on to simply gather all our cast and crew no matter the weather, and then see what happened,� he said about their way of dealing with the rain. If the weather broke, or an audience showed up anyway, the show would usually go on. “I recall one performance of A Midsummer Night’s Dream early on where it started pouring and we kept on, the audience under umbrellas and everyone having a grand old time. Of course, that was before body microphones!�

Michaels added how all her wishes have come down to one thing: a tent. Dreaming big, she’d love a retractable A-frame that she has plotted out; but she would also love just to meet a creative tentmaker – and a patron ready to cover for such an

Takin’ it to the street Rosendale Street Festival this weekend to feature six stages and 74 bands

T

he heart of the summer means that the Rosendale Street Festival is upon us: July 18 and 19 on Main Street in Rosendale. There will be plenty to eat and drink and buy, but this festival – staunchly, fanatically – is about music and always has been. Maybe we forget that most small-town street fairs have a couple of cover bands, a bouncy house, a clown or a fire-eater and a voter reg-

istration drive – not six fully outfitted stages and 74 musical acts over two days, the thickest gathering of the local stalwarts and heavies on the calendar. For hill people, we have a lot of stalwarts and heavies.

Surveying the lineup, we see many of the cornerstone and flagship acts of this venerable festival: Peter Head’s psychobilly trio Pitchfork Militia; the surreal “kindie” duo Ratboy, Jr.; Woodstock’s fiercely

talented prog/folk songwriter Joey Eppard; Vanessa Kniceley and Kniceley Done, a new family project involving one of the festival’s key organizers, the virtuoso fusion bassist Charlie Kniceley.

The stages, as always, are wellapportioned and allocated stylistically.

The more Xtreme dimensions of rock tend to keep to the Mountain Stage, but all the stages amp up gradually toward a nighttime crescendo. Original folk, blues, jam, funk and a dash of turbulent psychedelia (for example, Tulula!) form the primary colors of the style palette.

Some surprises this year? To be sure. It is great to see the uncategorizable punkish world-rock quartet the Fasads back in action after a long hiatus. Soulia and the Soultans have rapidly evolved from the Market Market house band to a viable, sophisticated and stylish concern.

There are too many headliners on the bill to call them headliners. Deni Bonet and Gabriel Butterfield (son of Paul) are names that you might recognize. Mad Satta is a seriously buttoned-down big, original soul and funk outfit with a line on the bigger stages. The elegant folk/ pop songwriter Jude Roberts has been anchoring the festival for years. The rootsy New Paltz singer/songwriter Brittani O’Hearn consistently dazzles with the biting depth of her lyrics. The Seth Davis Band plays its namesake’s heartfelt and witty indie/folk songs that blend classic rock with Dylanesque narrative. The elegant guitarist Jose Lopez’s project Rice and Beans takes soul blues to dangerous places.

eil Young. A bit too much to talk about there, but I will say this: a restless, contrarian, outspoken, chippedshoulder edge is a rare thing among 50+-year veterans of the rock industries. There’s Neil Young and…Neil Young and…all right then. His new album is called The Monsanto Years.

Young’s early songs with (the) Buffalo Springfield were fussy and precocious, and I love them. They are my favorite Neil Young songs: “Broken Arrow,” “Expecting to Fly,” “Nowadays Clancy Can’t Even Sing.” Of that batch, the incendiary famemesses-with-the-head rocker “Mr. Soul” probably best anticipates where he was headed, and he kept it alive in his shows for years.

But we should have realized all along that it is Young who messes with fame’s head. Young’s basic pattern has been a kind of hot-and-cold, sweet-and-sour alternation. For my money, the crisp and sad folk/rock of Harvest is where it’s at; but hipsters typically prefer to effervesce about the raw nerve of Tonight’s the Night or the crushing sledge and sludge of Crazy Horse and Neil’s tortured lead-guitar-playing. One thing is for sure: In the best spirit of the Beatniks and their “sanctity of the first draft” dictum, this guy writes it and lets it fly without reconsideration. More often than not, it sticks.

Neil Young doesn’t do farewell tours. I guess he’ll just not be there one day. Even at the shed at Bethel, where the big names come to play, this is an outsized name: a legend as revered by punks as by hippies and folkies, a resonant, universalist songwriter who seems to appeal to maybe ten or 15 fewer people than everybody.

Young, with his new outfit the Promise of the Real, brings the “Rebel Content” tour to the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts on Friday, July 17 at 7:30 p.m. A name this huge usually commands a pretty big name for an opener. How’s Norah Jones?

Ticket prices range from $52 for Lawn seating to $204.50 in the Pavilion. Tickets are available at www.bethelwoodscenter. org. The Bethel Center for the Arts is located at 200 Hurd Road in Bethel.

I met the acquaintance of Jimi Scheffel at the turn of the millennium when his wife – my colleague and herself a Berklee grad – discovered that Jimi and I shared a rather burning interest in music and put us in touch.

Usually that means one thing, and I’ll leave it at that. But in Scheffel, I found a lefty with a big backlog of really good songs and a set of interpretive skills remarkably polished for a public school teacher without a band or much of a venue for performance at that time, other than the occasional open mic. The songs were psychologically probing, long-form, narrative and Dylanesque, but with a lovely and sad Celtic lilt and a bracing tendency to veer occasionally from oracular folk toward modern rock territory. It was one of those hidden-riches moments, but I wasn’t in much of a position to

Delano Park fulfillment Los Doggies return to Snug’s in New Paltz this Friday

T

o cover the costs of making and distributing their excellent 2014 full-length E’rebody (reviewed in the April 24, 2014 Almanac Weekly), the chameleonic New Paltz prog-popsters Los Doggies availed themselves of a Kickstarter campaign, an online, crowdsourced fundraising blitz that usually involves incentivized donor levels. For example, a plebeian $10 donation might get you a download of the record and a sticker. At the Dr. and Mrs. Charles Oldthwaite Sustaining Partner level, you might get your likeness on the bass drumhead, a signed vinyl copy of the album and a sticker.

Kickstarter and all the crowdsourcing models are just a tube, you know. Two tubes, actually: one for Web communication and one for the homeward flow of monies.

Los Doggies The hosts assume no responsibility for ensuring or enforcing fulfillment; that’s all on the integrity of the artist and the wisdom of the crowds, who reserve the right to break your knees if they don’t get their stickers. The system works?

Bands get creative with the tiers and their incentives: premium swag, in-house concerts for the Gold Circle supporter and so on. Los Doggies are such an irrepressibly creative and prolific bunch that they had no qualms about offering a premiumtier new original song about the donor, patron-style, like the Goldberg Variations (somewhat literally like the Goldberg Variations, as this is band with a greater-thanaverage attention to traditional counterpoint). Five donors took them up on it and, a little more than a year later, Los Doggies have packaged these five personalized odes as a new EP, Delano Park, available on Bandcamp.

Delano Park is about as rough on the edges as you’d expect a Kickstarter commission to be (E’rebody was decidedly not rough around the edges). The tracks sound a little roomy and home-recordy, but on the level of musical vision and execution, a) these fellows never skimp, and b) this is simply the most extravagant, delightful and fully realized chamber-pop music that this band has ever produced. To my ears, it is a genuine breakthrough for them compositionally. Where in the past the band has sounded like a somewhat comic and self-aware fusion of Nirvana and Zappa, Delano Park is more likely to strike you as a hard rock band’s elegant homage to the stacked harmonies of the Beach Boys (“The Long Island Sea�) and to the angular melodic

genius of the Zombies (“Delano Park�). But these are Los Doggies: The frequent style and reference shifts, along with the wailing guitar solos, keep the bridge open to their past.

The melodies are exquisite, the layers of arrangement translucent and airy, and the band’s always-eccentric singers positively croon this time out. It is an audacious and triumphant work of maximal do-it-yourself treacle pop. Of course, being Los Doggies, they’ve already followed Delano Park with a new single, but I am ignoring that for now and lingering on this pretty incredible bit of Kickstarter fulfillment that should not slip by unnoticed. Do yourself a favor: https://losdoggies.bandcamp.com/ album/delano-park.

do anything about it.

The company at which his wife and I worked burst with the bubble, and we all lost touch. But imagine my utter and absolute lack of surprise when I discovered that this cat had a working band – Payne’s Grey Sky – and a fine new record out: Payne’s Grey Sky. The first track, “We Will Bend,� establishes a lot of the ground rules of the disc. Lyrically, it is bardic, perching with impeccable balance between personal and social, addressing relationship challenges in a high diction that could just as easily be describing the historical moment.

Musically, it’s ecstatic chamber folk/ rock, an unrelenting Mumfordian fouron-the-floor groove counterbalanced by an elegant string arrangement. “Delusions of Grandeur� introduces Sheffel’s taste for epic narrative; “When It Comes to Love� boards the American train groove.

The lovely title track reinforces what “Delusions of Grandeur� first suggested and what numerous tracks downstream will confirm: Scheffel’s lyrical and melodic Muse is most opulent and most at home when working in 3/4 and 6/8.

Bassist Rich Drymond and drummer Dave Schloff round out the core ensemble with playing that is subtle, steady and dynamically attuned to the swelling and subsiding forms of Scheffel’s folk/rock epics. No fewer than ten guest performers account for the record’s many chamberfolk details, accents, solos and flourishes, and these include some names that you know: Professor Louie on four tracks, Connor Kennedy on two and the local songwriter-of-note Casey Erdmann contributing essential harmonies on three songs.

Payne’s Grey Sky manages to be both plainspoken and humble in sound and richly detailed and ambitious in its musical development. It is a fitting and

nicely realized expression of that talent that I thought I discovered more than a decade ago, and I am glad that I can say a word about it now. The beautifully packaged and feature-rich physical CD is available at CD Baby, and the music is available digitally at all the usual outlets.

Payne’s Grey Sky’s performances are infrequent but regular. They’ve got one coming up at the Rosendale Street Festival on Saturday, July 18 at 1 p.m. on the CafÊ Stage. – John Burdick Payne’s Grey Sky, Saturday, July 18, 1 p.m., free, CafÊ Stage, Rosendale Street Festival, Main Street, Rosendale; http:// rosendalestreetfestival.ning.com.

Eldar Djangirov Trio plays the Maverick on Saturday The Maverick was early in on the recognition of jazz as a key component of the 20th century’s canon of serious music, and jazz is always honored in the storied chamber music festival’s summer programming. This year, the Eldar Djangirov Trio appears at the Maverick on Saturday, July 18 at 8 p.m.

Born in 1987 in Kyrgyzstan in the former Soviet Union, Eldar Djangirov came to this country with his family when he was 10 and settled in Kansas City. Eldar was featured on NPR’s Marian McPartland’s Piano Jazz at the age of 12, and was nominated for a Grammy in 2008 for his album Re-imagination.

Like so many of the young virtuosi of jazz, Djangirov is adept at the classical repertoire and has released an album of classical solo keyboard music by Bach, Brahms and Prokofiev. But at the Maverick, he will be with his trio – JosÊ

Strand of Oaks to play Bearsville

July 23. The Indiana-born songwriter Tim Showalter has been producing his kind of wild, bearded Americana since 2003, but recent efforts have revealed a maturing, radio-ready melodicism and a knack for high rock drama that make Strand of Oaks the natural kin of recent War on Drugs, Kurt Vile and the legions of other indie bards these days with big soft spots for Springsteen and Petty. The sympathetic local “hard folk� band the Grape and the Grain open.

Piers Playfair’s quest to bring America’s original art form to a new generation

school level, he said he also recognized an “emerging generation” of highly trained musicians were graduating from wellregarded collegiate jazz programs such as at Juilliard. And even here, he could see that these young performers, like so many graduates of arts programs everywhere, found it all but impossible to make a living at what they loved to do.

That’s when the idea came to Playfair to “do a trade”: “Can we give musicians a chance to develop and get them into the schools? And by doing that, help and inspire younger students and get them into the community?” The answer to his question was the Catskill Jazz Factory, which the Playfairs launched in 2012.

“Every so often, the time and place when you can achieve something come together, where you can work things out.”

Critical to the project’s success was securing the services of Aaron Diehl as artistic director. The now-29-year-old

In addition to being a performer and composer, Washburne is a Jazz Performance professor at Columbia University. When he first learned about Playfair’s vision for the Jazz Factory, “I said, ‘Sign me up, I’m willing to do anything.’” Call him an ambassador not only for the Jazz Factory and its sister program, the 23Arts Initiative, but also for the promulgation of jazz itself.

Others have called jazz America’s greatest, its only original music.

Washburne goes further: Jazz, he said, epitomizes the American experience. “It has so much to do with who we are as a nation. It sends out the ideals of democracy, of people having an equal footing in what they do. It encapsulates what freedom stands for, whether you’re talking philosophy or politics – you’re

L

ike so many other Catskill communities, the Village of Tannersville has taken it on the chops time and time again.

And like an old champion who refuses to go down for the count, Tannersville keeps coming back.

Changing times have laid low more than one version of the tiny village (population 500-plus) since its rough-and-tumble days as an outpost for tannery and lumbermill workers. More than once during its 115year history, it has been counted out, and just as often, it has been revived and come back for more. Tannersville is currently in the throes of its latest revival – one powered by an American artform not much older than the village itself. Jazz has come to Tannersville. But as the man most responsible for making it the centerpiece of that revival will tell you, jazz may be its most prominent aspect, but it’s far from being the whole story of what Piers Playfair is aiming to do with the Catskill Jazz Factory.

Playfair hails from theatrical royalty. His British father was a professor of drama, his American mother an actress and his grandfather, Sir Nigel Playfair, was the actor/manager of London’s Lyric Theater in the 1920s and ’30s.

Piers was born in Pittsfield, Massachusetts and made his stage debut at the age of three months, when he was cast as a waterbaby in a Williamstown Playhouse production of Peter Pan. He grew up in England, came back to the States and has lived in Tannersville since the late 1980s. “I grew up in the arts, it was second nature,” he said. “But I took an unusual turn and went into finance.” He’s the CEO of Lyonross Capital Management, LLC, a private equity firm. His success there has allowed him to return the arts – not as a performer, but as a benefactor of the arts.

He and his wife Lucy made their initial mark in the area as the founders of the Orchard Project, a country retreat for theatrical companies. In explaining how the Catskill Jazz Factory was born, Playfair

said he one day experienced what can only be described as an epiphany. Though he wasn’t, at the time, conversant in jazz, Playfair was aware of the precarious fate of the arts in education, in sleepy Tannersville as well as in school districts everywhere. Budgets were being cut, and too often, the budget axe fell on arts education and performing programs.

“Here I was, a middle-aged guy, a father with three young children. I couldn’t imagine them growing up without an education in the arts.”

At the same time that he recognized the threat of budget cuts at the primary

piano virtuoso has gone well beyond being an “up-and-coming” player. The June release of his latest album, Space, Time, Continuum, won rapturous reviews from The New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, among other knowledgeable sources. “What started out to be a network of Aaron’s friends, mostly young, helped create an impactful, deeper program,” Playfair said.

One of the artists who has been drawn to the Jazz Factory is neither particularly young nor desperate for work. Master trombonist Chris Washburne, who’s 51, was hours away from performing at

free to play whatever you want when you’re up there. You’ve got a professional mandate to improvise, to bring something new to an audience every night.”

Despite its pedigree and potential, Washburne acknowledged what every jazz musician knows today: “The music has been marginalized for years – decades.”

Other jazz advocates may see the way forward as establishing new beachheads at major cities, where the music media infrastructure is already well-established and jazz has a long, if unsteady, tradition.

Washburne doesn’t reject that approach, but he says that it’s not the only one: “We

Catskill Jazz Factory presents “Harlem on Hudson” concert series at the Bard Spiegeltent

A Chris Washburne & SYOTOS performed last April with the Millbrook High School Jazz Band in a Catskill Jazz Factory and Millbrook Arts Group program

need more advocates; we need to create more scenes.”

And that, among other things, is where the Jazz Factory comes in. In February, for example, Washburne and his band SYOTOS played Bard College’s Fisher Center and sold the place out, despite a snowstorm. “It was the first time Bard had featured a jazz concert; it was a pioneering event,” Washburne said.

If that was reaching out to a new audience at a professional level, the Factory and its new, Tannersvillefocused sister program 23Arts Initiative (named for the state highway that passes through the village) are reaching into more familiar and elemental territory by offering workshops at local high schools and finding venues – churches, cafeterias, restaurants, featuring musical and theatrical events as well as jazz –

that at once provide unique learning opportunities for young people while bolstering the community’s economic promise.

Shannon Hoyt is the pre-K-throughsixth-grade music teacher at Hunter Elementary School. She has seen – and heard – what the 23Arts Initiative has provided for her students, and she’s got one word to describe it: “awesome.” Make that two words: “seriously awesome.”

“We’ve had these high-class musicians come to school – people like Aaron Diehl – and give assemblies. Aaron spoke about the history of jazz and blues, and performed. We even had the Bard Conservatory Student Orchestra, a 13-piece orchestra, perform for the kids.”

“It’s very inspiring, especially for kids who live up on the mountain top who don’t get a lot of opportunity. We’re really

far away from the places you usually find this music: New York or Albany.” She said that she fully expects someday to witness one of her students making his or her debut at Carnegie Hall.

The Jazz Factory/23Arts sisterhood finally comes down to this: an effort to nurture jazz for those who’ve devoted their lives to practicing it and to those who wish to. What Playfair has done, Washburne said, is “something very, very unusual….

He’s identified an area of the country where there’s a need and dedicated his energy to answering that need.”

Playfair more modestly described his effort by quoting Sir Robert Mayer, a British philanthropist and banker who was an early supporter of music for young people: “If you take great music and have great musicians play it, people will like it.”

Be prepared for a great show from this acclaimed improvisor as he explores the musical connections among Afro-Caribbean, Creole, New Orleans and American traditions.

Wakeup call

Rip! The Musical at Center for Performing Arts at Rhinebeck

T

his weekend in Rhinebeck, Rip Van Winkle is waking up after a two-decade snooze – in more ways than one. The original version of Michael Berkeley and Ray Roderick’s Rip! The Musical first saw the light of day 20 years ago on the stage of TriArts in Pine Plains, where Berke-

“The notion of forgiveness is examined after Rip returns from his 20-year absence.” ley was musical director, but it needed work. Berkeley followed TriArts when it relocated to Sharon, Connecticut and served as its artistic director from 1999 to 2012, meanwhile scoring something of a critical hit with his and Roderick’s Irving Berlin tribute musical I Love a Piano.

But in the intervening years, Berkeley and Roderick continued tinkering with Rip! The Musical, and were committed to seeing a new and improved version premiere in the Hudson Valley one day, in honor of its local protagonist. That day has finally come: The “world premiere” of Rip! Mach II will be presented on Friday, July 17 at 8 p.m. at the Center for Performing Arts at Rhinebeck. A second evening performance will follow on Saturday at 8, with 3 p.m. matinées on both Saturday and Sunday, July 18 and 19.

“This is the first chance to see the new script and score onstage,” says Berkeley.

“Rip! takes a more personal look at relationships, and several characters have undergone significant changes since the original inception. The notion of forgiveness is examined after Rip returns from his 20-year absence.” Can we read that to mean that the “nagging wife” stereotype of Dame Van Winkle

has undergone a bit of feminist-friendly rehabilitation to suit changing times?

Come on out to Rhinebeck this weekend and see for yourself.

Berkeley himself directs, and Rip! The Musical stars Jarek Zabczynski, Lori Belter and Lou Trapani as Peter Vanderdonk. The cast of 30 also includes Lisa Lynds, Michael Britt, Amy LeBlanc, Melissa Matthews and Frank McGinnis.

Tickets for this show that Berkeley terms “a valentine to the Hudson Valley” cost $27 and $25. For reservations and more information, call (845) 876-3080 or visit http://ripthemusical.com or www. centerforperformingarts.org.

MMSC will perform three different plays on three different days, starting Friday

evening, July 17 at 8 p.m. with George Brent’s Grounded. Janet Nurre stars in this onewoman play in which a hotshot F-16 pilot reports back to duty after an unexpected pregnancy, and finds herself reassigned to flying drones from a windowless trailer near Las Vegas. As she hunts insurgents by day and returns to her family each night, boundaries increasingly blur between the desert in which she lives and the virtual one that she patrols a world away.

On Saturday, July 18 at 8 p.m., MMSC will reprise its Readers’ Theatre production of Julia Cho’s The Language Archive. And at 2 p.m. on Sunday, July 19, MMSC will present a program of Summer Shorts that include Sure Thing by David Ives, Hail Caesar by Michael Mitnick, The Scary Question by Wayne Rawley and My Husband by Paul Rudnick.

ver since Shakespeare’s Puck and Prospero broke through the “fourth wall” to beg audiences to dismiss them from their onstage duties with applause (and arguably long before), the line between theater and real life has been fine and malleable. It’s also often fraught with baggage about the politics and culture of the day. The Vietnam War era was a boom time for entities that straddled the wiggly border between entertainment and sociopolitical commentary, honing their guerrilla theater skills at massive demonstrations on the National Mall and then taking them to more traditional performance venues. Vermont’s Bread and Puppet Theater is the most obvious case in point, but its offspring are legion, including Arm-of-the-Sea in our own neck of the woods.

Now the existence of the Internet and universally available cheap videomaking technology have taken political theater to a new level. If you’ve ever seen one of Improv Everywhere’s hilarious YouTube videos – in which someone gives the name Spartacus when placing a coffee order at Starbucks and a dozen people dressed as Roman legionaries charge in shouting “I am Spartacus!” when the order is ready,

Their performances are so convincing that the offender being spoofed is put in the embarrassing position of having to explain to the world that no such reparations are forthcoming. The Yes Men have also done things like hawk thousands of copies of pretend issues of major daily newspapers on the streets. They call these events “culture jamming,” and they sometimes end up getting arrested for their efforts, but high visibility and an enthusiastic following do seem to confer some degree of safety.

By all accounts the third Yes Men film delves more deeply than its predecessors into the real lives of Servin and Vamos and the strain that their commitment to outrageous political theater puts on them, their loved ones and their partnership,

NIGHT SKY

Planets going berserk

T

hese are the good old days. Every planet except for Mars is striking and changing rapidly. Come back this Thanksgiving, though, and the sky will be empty: no planets at all. So right now, this is the time.

Pluto of course is making the news. We just got our best close-up views right before this newspaper went to print. So I can’t comment yet, but I expect that it’s all very exciting and unpredicted. Meanwhile, Venus is going through rapid changes.

It has been in the west after sunset since January. We’ve grown accustomed to it. Its brightness has only slowly altered. We watched as it met the Moon a few weeks ago and then had a wonderful conjunction with Jupiter, which remains to its left. But now it changes rapidly, and shouldn’t go unobserved.

First off, it’s at its very brightest. You just can’t miss it, say at 9:15 p.m. in the direction of sunset. It’s the brightest thing in the sky, at magnitude -4.7. But each evening it’s noticeably lower. In our hilly region, that’s not good. There will come a time in the next week or two when it’s simply too low in fading twilight, as seen from your home. Still, from places with clear western vistas, like the Walkway over the Hudson, or any of the Kingston malls, it will remain visible right through the end of this month.

The reason this matters is that as Venus now slides between our world and the Sun, it’s increasingly close and also increasingly lit up from the back side, making it look like a little crescent moon. Any small telescope, any magnification, even image-stabilized binoculars show its crescent shape. Each evening its crescent grows larger but narrower, making it ever more striking.

These fast alterations in its appearance and position only happen when Venus is closest to us – the reality during the next month. Then, bam! In mid-August it invisibly passes between us and the Sun, then emerges by month’s end as a gorgeous morning star for the rest of the year.

Fast changes, worth our awareness. As for the other planets, Jupiter (the other bright

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

Forbidden fruit Versatile blackcurrants, abundant now, was long illegal to grow century, were not very tasty just popped into your mouth raw. Newer rust-resistant varieties, such as Belaruskaja and Titania, are delicious any which way, and along with blueberry are my favorite fruits.  Sad to say, blackcurrants are finished for the season. That’s their one deficiency: They come and go too quickly.

Still, bags stuffed full of blackcurrants are now in the freezer, not to be opened until Christmas.

And I can’t complain. Branches of blueberry bushes are bowed to the ground under their weight of fruit, and will continue to do so until almost the end of summer. And gooseberries still have a week or so more of fruiting. Mulberries, too, have a few more weeks – except that the birds are eating most of them.

Red, pink and white currants started fruiting with the blackcurrants, and will hang in good eating condition for weeks to come.

Red, pink and white currants are different varieties of the same fruit (like Red Delicious and Golden Delicious apples): a different species and quite different in flavor and bearing habit from blackcurrants. Most of the reds, whites and pinks will hang from the branches for weeks because the berries – looking like shiny, translucent chains of beads, the seeds visible seemingly floating within when backlit by the sun – are almost too pretty to harvest. Also, not being my favorite fruits, they get to hang without being picked, especially with the abundance of other, tastier (to me) berries – an opinion that might change if I had some skill in jellymaking.

poor harvest from one or a couple of fruits any year. Hence the Macoun and Hudson’s Golden Gem apples here, the grapes and gooseberries (a dozen varieties of each), gumis, raspberries, kiwis, seaberries and elderberries, among many other fruits.

Again, quoting Liberty Hyde Bailey:

Blackcurrants have more to recommend them than good avor and lots of Vitamin C. In contrast to most fruit plants, they fruit well in shade.

Liberty Hyde Bailey would be proud of the abundance and variety of fruit here. That’s one great advantage of planting your own: You get to choose what pleases your palate as far as kinds of fruits and varieties of fruits, and you get a hedge against a

lackcurrants are a berry brimming with vitamin C (in comparison, oranges are like water) and other health goodies, with an intense, rich, to me resiny flavor that pairs well with dark chocolate or, on bread, with peanut or any other nut butter. Not everyone enjoys the fresh flavor, but that’s okay. Not everyone needs to enjoy every kind of fruit.

What the doyen of horticulture, Liberty Hyde Bailey, wrote almost 100 years ago about apple varieties also applies to fruits in general: “Why do we need so many kinds of [fruits]? Because there are so many folks. A person has a right to gratify his legitimate tastes‌There is merit in variety itself.â€?

With that said, just about everyone does like blackcurrants once they’ve been cooked and sweetened to make jam, juice, pie and the like, or soaked in alcohol to make a liqueur (crème de cassis). My preference is for the raw berries, eaten straight up, in my cereal or smooshed on bread as an instant jam.

Blackcurrants have more to recommend them than only good flavor.

In contrast to most fruit plants, they fruit well in shade. Look down my row of pawpaw trees, and in the shade between every two of them you’ll see a blackcurrant bush thriving. In contrast to just about every other plant, black currants are deerresistant. My ducks and chickens, as well as wild birds, leave the berries alone.

In fact, few significant pests attack the plant or the fruit – except for a disease called white pine blister rust. This disease needs two different host plants to complete its life cycle: a susceptible variety of currant or gooseberry and a white pine. Because the disease can kill white pines, an important timber crop, gooseberries and currants were once banned by federal and later by New York State law. That’s no longer the case, one reason being that most cultivated varieties of gooseberries and currents are not very susceptible to the disease.

Blackcurrant is very susceptible to the blister rust disease – except for some rustresistant or immune varieties. The first of these, Consort, Crusader and Coronet, developed in the middle of the 20th

Big doings on Bridge Street New Catskill theater complex hosts a Brobdingnagian art show

S

ometimes, more is more. A good case in point is “Big Works in the Big Room,” the current exhibition in the gallery space at Bridge Street Theatre in the village of Catskill. Featuring 19 sculptures by a total of nine artists, the show comprises large, dynamic and at times completely over-the-top works, happily married to the generous dimensions of an equally ample room.

At least six of the works represented here, however, require an even-larger space for their proper setting. For what seems like millennia now, High Falls artist Bob Schuler has been inscribing his manic ideograms into 16-inch cubes of granite, and then dropping the cubes one at a

time, every hundred miles, in the ocean depths. Schuler’s Tethys Project, named for the ancient Greek personification of the sea’s prolificity, has already seen his carved blocks buried across the Atlantic, the Mediterranean, through the Panama Canal and from Panama to the Galapagos.

The six blocks on view in the Big Room are not the actual granite cubes, but castings of vacuum-formed plastic and plaster: facsimiles of four blocks that have already been dropped, and of another two awaiting their possibly eternal submergence in the sea. And who knows?

Perhaps a geologic epoch or two down the road, the shifting of tectonic plates might raise the cubes from the stygian depths and redeposit them, for the delectation

of whatever eyes are there to see them, in the plains or valleys of a radically altered continent. Ars longa, baby!

Chris Hawkins, who has been an able and indispensable assistant to Schuler, is a wild man in his own right. Known in Ulster County as a sculptor, musician and performance artist, he’s represented here by two outrageous assemblages: Judy’s Tanning Salon and Narwhale. The latter has a funky monumentality, towering ten feet above the gallery floor – almost like a breaching cetacean – and consisting of tons of materials: fabric, wood, stone, rusted ironwork and figures evoking a sturgeon, a human-looking turtle, a little girl, a lingam and the titular narwhal, among other riches.

If Andy Goldsworthy has nightmares, they probably resemble Harry Mathews’ The Greene Man, a contemporary homage to the eponymous fertility figure of pagan mythology (eponymous, that is, except for that last “e” in “Greene,” which localizes this particular nature spirit in Greene

County). Painstakingly constructed of intricately interwoven bits of driftwood – sticks, roots and branches – that the artist culled from his creekside property in the aftermath of Hurricane Irene, the stick figure seems to embody both the benign and chaotic aspects of nature, possessing a fierce, almost menacing quality that stands (or in this case, sits) in direct contrast to the patient skill of its making.

Another marvel conjured from interlocking bits of driftwood is Rita Dee’s Isabella, which looks like a carousel horse that has bolted from the carnival.

The s t e e d ’s polychromatic pasterns, fetlocks, withers, hocks and gaskins are the result of a year spent in collaboration with the residents of Chiz’s Place, a homeless shelter in Kingston. Dee and her cocreators hand-painted hundreds of sticks and branches washed up by the Hudson, inscribing them in many places with poems, peace signs and personal statements, and joined them together with powder-coated decking screws.

The resulting entity has more than the mere appearance of a horse; it has the magical spirit of one, as if a Palaeolithic cave painting had suddenly acquired an extra dimension.

Two of the sketches, a tree study and a drawing of the Maine coastline, will be on view in the McEntee exhibition, in the Friends Gallery at the corner of Main and Wall Streets in Uptown Kingston. For more information, visit www.fohk.org.

For now, that innovative staging takes place in the Raw Room, where Kaliyuga Arts, the resident company founded and directed by Sowle and Patterson, recently presented The Epic of Gilgamesh, hailed as an â&#x20AC;&#x153;awe-inspiring achievementâ&#x20AC;? by the Albany Times-Union. But once the requisite funds are raised, the Raw Room will morph into a mainstage theater, capping the renovations that to date have included a lobby (which also functions as a speakeasy for musical acts and magic shows) and the installation of rest rooms.

The resulting entity has more than the mere appearance of a horse; it has the magical spirit of one, as if a Palaeolithic cave painting had suddenly acquired an extra dimension. Dee has been making these equine evocations for many years; I remember one such sculpture that graced the front of the former White Rabbit in Red Hook â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I lunched there on many occasions solely to hang out with the horse.

Space prohibits extended commentary on any of the pieces by Matt Bua, Carol Swierzowski, Jimmy Tim Fry, Marc Swanson and Richard Talcott, but all of them contribute fine, solid, provocative work. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a clunker in the show. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Big Works in the Big Roomâ&#x20AC;? is the third exhibition to be mounted in the multiarts complex at 44 West Bridge Street in Catskill. The building â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which was a beer distribution warehouse, a factory that made big, heavy, plastic vinyl strips used in refrigeration and a book depository in some of its previous incarnations â&#x20AC;&#x201C; owes its renovation to John Sowle and Steven Patterson, a pair of energetic, enterprising and ebullient theater people who met and fell in love in San Francisco in 1983. After stints in Minneapolis, LA and New York City, they became full-time residents of Catskill five years ago, and in 2012 were married onstage, between a matinĂŠe and an evening performance of Lanford Wilsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Mound Builders at Stageworks Hudson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We closed the show,â&#x20AC;? laughs Patterson.

Jack Walls (left) and his painting Le Roi (above). The opening will include a screening of Eye to Eye, a documentary about Robert Mapplethorpe, Walls’ longtime partner and fellow artist. After the screening, there will be a reading from Walls’ The Ebony Prick of the White Rose’s Thorn with musical accompaniment by Harbour (Jonas Bers and Damien Patrick Cleary).

or one who has reported that he doesn’t believe in the art world, Jack Walls must be counted among the singularly in outsiders. Finding himself as a young man at the center of Robert Mapplethorpe’s whirlwind, he somehow remained true to some inner sense of authenticity – one that made him turn away from making art when, as he has also said, “It was not wise to continue. I had more pressing issues.” He’s referring to Mapplethorpe’s demise and the deaths of so many during the onset plague of AIDS in the late 1980s. Walls stopped drawing and painting, and immersed himself in the written word for many years.

But he’s back. Basilica Hudson will fill the Back Gallery with his most recent

works: “Paintings, et Cetera,” pieces just removed from a show at RARE Gallery in New York City. The new series of 34 abstract portraits constitutes a return to the visual arts with…not a vengeance, but a strong sense of vibrancy and interior expression. The paintings will be shown in conjunction with the African carvings that were their inspiration, along with related materials and archival items from Walls’s personal collection.

After a rough start in Chicago – gangs and incarceration and the like – he discovered the power of writing through such greats as James Baldwin, Richard Wright and Ralph Ellison, along with large doses of Genet, Wilde and Rimbaud. It was during this period that he developed a heavy fantasy life, considering that

the imaginative world of self-expression was where he wanted to dwell. And to enrich that, he decided he needed to seek adventure. “It was a cognitive decision for me to go out and have an interesting life.”

After a stint in the Navy in the West Pacific, Walls came to New York for a seven-year stay with Mapplethorpe, then back to Chicago for a while to study filmmaking and screenwriting at the Chicago Filmmakers, and then to New York again, where his writing career eventually seemed to lay flat. Poetry was always foremost in his efforts, and he became mentor to a number of young artists, Ryan McGinley and the late Dash Snow among his tribe.

A summer visit to Cherry Valley near Cooperstown in 2003 turned into five years of creative work, which culminated in a group of photographic collages, an epic prose piece titled The Ebony Prick of the White Rose’s Thorn and a series of paintings called Mona Lisa. At a certain point, he was relocated by friends to the town of Hudson, where the cultural vibe is rich and experimental.

“My friends told me, ‘Jack, you’re moving to Hudson. We found a real estate person, and she’s looking for you.’” He picked a house that he saw on a video on his computer, bought it and was packed and moved in a week. “It was Ryan McGinley.

He told me, ‘Jack you’re going to love it.

There’s people, you can interact, there’s restaurants.’ So that’s how I got here.” He feels at home.

Now functioning at the distant fringe of the New York City art scene, Walls continues to produce artworks in series, such as the one to be shown at Basilica Hudson titled Heads. He has said that he likes doing things over and over, “because if it’s a good idea once, it’s a good idea twice. I believe in cohesion, the overall effect, the story.” He sat up one day and began naming the portraits, as if they’d just introduced themselves to him. He dubs the series “user-friendly” in that the pictures could hang in the living room of someone with children – this, in contrast to some of his more provocative work.

“I didn’t have my first one-man show until I was 50,” he said. “I always avoided that label ‘artist.’ I wasn’t doing it to show people. I was doing it because that’s my impulse. When people started writing articles and saying ‘Artist Jack Walls…’ it kind of made it legit. I accepted it. Robert always told me my artistic instincts were really good. I didn’t believe in myself. If I see people at a party and the first thing they tell you is that they’re an artist – I never believe those people! A real artist wouldn’t, you know. When artists start talking about their art, I thank God for

Instagram, because when someone asks me, ‘What does your work look like?’ I can say ‘Go to Instagram.’”

Do it. Go to Instagram, and then go to Basilica Hudson to meet the man, Jack Walls, and see his startling work in person. The July 17 opening will include a screening of Eye to Eye, featuring Walls’s narration about Mapplethorpe’s work, and a performance of Walls’s book with musical accompaniment by Harbour.

Closing night on Saturday, August 1 from 6 to 8 p.m. will include a discussion with Walls and local art historian Sean Osborne.

The exhibit will be on view until Sunday, August 2. For more about the artist, visit http://jackwalls.com/about.

ALMANAC WEEKLY

July 16, 2015 toric roadside marker to be placed in front of a former 18th-century Dutch stone tavern owned by Dutchman Martinuus Schryver, a Revolutionary War veteran. This is the only marker yet to be placed directly in front of any of the four dwellings in which Truth lived, all near Kingston. (She was enslaved in three of these dwellings.)

Fortunately, Truth was well-treated at this place by Schryver (who was also a fisherman) and his family and given much freedom of movement â&#x20AC;&#x201C; although she did learn to swear there (in Dutch!).  In fact, her father asked Schryver (who never had slaves before or since) to purchase his Dutch-speaking daughter from an English-speaking couple who beat this nine-year-old for not understanding their instructions given in English, once with red-hot iron rods.

Her father, James, was nicknamed Bomefree (a/k/a Baumfree et alia) in Low Dutch dialect. He was so-called because he was tall, and straight as a tree. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bomefreeâ&#x20AC;? was not used by Sojourner Truth or her family as a last name. She briefly took the surname of Maria and Isaac Wagonen (not Van Wagoner with an â&#x20AC;&#x153;Râ&#x20AC;?), who purchased Sojourner Truthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ($20) and her little daughter Sophieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ($5) freedom sometime in November of 1826 (Sophie was born in the previous month). Truth stayed to work for the Van Wagonens until the next year in order to repay the debt of freeing her and her daughter Sophie, but the Wagonens did not ask her, nor expect her to do so. They were simply good, compassionate people who provided her a safe haven.

The former Schryverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tavern and the new sign are located at the corner of Route 9W (Broadway) and the north entrance to River Road, a horseshoe-shaped road near the Hudson River in Ulster Park, in the Township of Esopus, Village of Port Ewen, about four miles south of Kingston

At present, there is no Sojourner Truth Museum, but attractive and inexpensive brass brooches of Sojourner Truth (the work of sculptor Inge Hardison) are now available through the National Congress of Black Women, founded by Shirley Chisholm, New York State representative from 1969 to 1983, the first AfricanAmerican woman elected to Congress.

YOUNG WRITERS’ PROGRAMS IN HYDE PARK & NEW PALTZ

W

hether your children attend public school, private school or are homeschooled, writing enrichment is available to all, from ages 7 to 17, through the Hudson Valley Writing Project’s Summer 2015 Young Writers’ Programs. What I appreciate about these programs are the profound physical connections that the students get to make, even before they read or write a word, simply due to where they’re being held. Sessions run throughout the summer at a variety of Hudson Valley locations, specifically to draw from the cultural, biological and historical perspectives unique to that place.

For example, from Monday to Friday, July 20 to 24 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., a group of students between 12 and 16 years of age will spend the week at the Roosevelt and Vanderbilt National Historic Sites in Hyde Park for the session “Writing into History.”

Working with National Park Service ranger Susanne Norris, Arlington Middle School Social Studies teacher Eric Fiore and Poughkeepsie Day School teacher Dorothy Luongo, students will explore fundamental questions about human rights; imagine the varied perspectives on that land from the point of view of the Native Americans, the Roosevelts and the Vanderbilts; and learn about the National Park Service, including envisioning what the land would have looked like 100 years ago and discovering the meaning of the symbols of the National Park Service badge. In addition to having their own experience on the land, students will read

from primary sources such as Eleanor Roosevelt’s My Day syndicated newspaper columns and Native American legends.

Another place-based program for this age group is “Exploring Nature and History on Huguenot Street” in New Paltz from August 3 to 7, which draws from this historic road with its original stone houses; hiking in the NyquistHarcourt Wildlife Sanctuary; and visits to Huguenot Street Farm, all intended to expand and enrich the students’ foundation of creativity for writing. For both programs, the students read their essays or poems to an audience at their group’s end-celebration, and their work will be published in a group anthology.

The cost for “Writing into History” and “Exploring Nature and History on Huguenot Street” is $295 per program, and scholarships are available. For more information about the full schedule of offerings or to register, call (845) 2572847, e-mail hvwp@newpaltz.edu or visit www.newpaltz.edu/hvwp/summercamps.

Help kids with autism attend Ashokan Center’s Camp Whirligig Planning a family vacation can be hard enough to schedule, but for families living with autism, the dynamics can be much more complicated than that.

s you plan out your clothing for the weekend, you might want to “...grab your hamster pants...for the big hamster dance...in the middle of Hamsterdam…” Well, what I mean, in quoting these Ratboy, Jr. lyrics, is to grab your comfy clothes and head for the Rosendale Street Festival, which takes place this Saturday, July 18 from 12 noon to 9 p.m. and Sunday, July 19 from 12 noon to 7 p.m. The Rosendale Street Festival is a weekend filled with music on six stages, including performances by children’s bands Fuzzy Lollipop on Saturday at 4 p.m. and Ratboy, Jr. on Sunday at 4 p.m., and even a production of the Sojourner Truth Youth Theatre’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Admission to the festival is free, but attendees are asked to donate $5 to help cover expenses. The festival takes place outdoors all along Main Street in Rosendale, so remember to pack extra water and sunscreen for the kids. For more information, visit www.rosendalestreetfestival.org.

Whirligig: A Music & Dance Camp for Families Living with Autism,” a weekend away for the entire family at the Ashokan Center. Camp Whirligig takes place from Friday to Sunday, August 28 to 30.

Right now, despite the absolute demand for a program like this one, it is severely underenrolled, and the reason appears to be prohibitive cost. At $350 per person for the camp program fee, this may be out of reach for families funding essential therapies and medical costs. The Camp Whirligig coordinators are inviting interested donors to contribute toward a $5,000 scholarship fund to help enable families to attend this amazing weekend.

And since the Ashokan Center is a 501(c) (3) nonprofit, your gift, specifically designated for Camp Whirligig, is fully tax-deductible.

BENEFIT

Yoga for Nepal fundraiser at Locust Grove in Poughkeepsie on Sunday

A

benefit for relief efforts in Nepal is being held at the Samuel Morse Estate at Locust Grove this Sunday, July 19. When the devastating earthquake rocked the Himalayas on April 25, it took a huge toll on life, property, infrastructure and cultural heritage in a country with a population of 27 million. The deaths of nearly 9,000 people are hard to fathom, and other stats –22,000 injured, more than half a million houses fully or partially damaged, countless left homeless – loom over the land where four-to-five-point-magnitude quakes and aftershocks continue to rumble.

All this makes for a challenge of great humanitarian scope. At the International Conference on Nepal’s Reconstruction 2015 held in Kathmandu on June 25, the country’s heads of state assessed the crisis and declared their commitment to rebuild, which calls for a magnanimous response from the worldwide community. Thus, in measures great and small, people are finding ways to contribute, such as the fundraising event at Locust Grove.

“I felt like I wanted to help the people in Nepal,” says Linda VICTOR TONDEE Freeman, a teacher at Bliss Body Yoga in Newburgh. “I reached out to other local yoga teachers in the region to create this all-day event to raise funds and energetic healing for the people of Nepal. All proceeds from Yoga for Nepal will go through Direct Relief solely for their work in Nepal. We chose Direct Relief because they spend less than two percent of financial resources on fundraising efforts and administrative costs, and instead funnel the money they receive directly to where it is needed most.”

Doors open at 9:15 a.m. so that participants can make their way to the Estate ballroom and get themselves settled in for a day of physical and mental challenge. It will be BYOM – bring your own mat – for 45-minute-long sessions with teachers of Vinyasa Yoga, Qigong, Baptiste Power Yoga, Ayurvedic Yoga and Yin Yoga. So far the lineup includes teachers John Verner, Gary Mercurio, Maureen Benedict, Ami Hirschstein, Nita Steketee and Susannah Grange, each class beginning on the hour from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. To end the day in peace and harmony, Kirtan with Sergei will be led by Satya Franche from 4 to 5 p.m.

The full schedule of yoga classes will be augmented with other holistic practices, such as chair massage, reiki, reflexology and more, going on throughout the day. Participants will be able to sample all from holistic practitioners Dale Montelione Grust, Center for Therapeutic Massage, New Paltz; Amanda Snyder, Amanda Snyder Spa Therapy, Highland; Lorraine Cucci, Hands to Feet Reflexology and Healing Arts, Pleasant Valley; and others. There will be a silent auction offering up a variety of items including holistic services, restaurant gift certificates, Bardavon membership, fine art, handicrafts and more.

Spend the day at Locust Grove. Bring a picnic lunch to enjoy on the lovely grounds of the Estate overlooking the Hudson River. All activities are included in the admission fee except for silent auction items. The silent action will close at 4 p.m., and items must be picked up and paid for between 4:30 and 5 p.m. All contributions through Direct Relief will be greatly appreciated.

Situations Wanted

FOSTER HOMES NEEDED FOR KITTENS AND PREGNANT CATS.The WOODSTOCK FERAL CAT PROJECT is a local not for profit organization committed to reducing future feral cat populations through spay/neuter. We often find orphaned kittens who need a loving home until they are old enough to be adopted. Some orphaned kittens are so young that they require bottle feeding. We affectionately call them “bottle babies”. We recently placed three pregnant cats in three wonderful homes. The cats gave birth and when the kittens are weaned (no longer nursing), we will look to find loving homes for the kittens and their mothers. If you are interested in fostering or would like to learn more about fostering, please call (917) 282-2018 or email DRJLPK@AOL.COM. DIANA’S FANCY FLEA MARKET: Nice Items Needed for Next Sale!

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.

I’ve always believed that you can’t start the next chapter of your life if you keep re-reading the last one. Buddha said that holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one that gets burned.

Now I’m not a Buddhist, but he could not have been more right on! Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind. I try to imbue my agents with those thoughts and feelings. If you’ve had a hard day, don’t look back and rehash it, never forget that stressed is desserts spelled backwards! Remember that if you make it so, tomorrow can be a wonderful day.

RARE WATERFRONT PROPERTY

What a spot! Absolutely drop-dead-gorgeous waterfront property. Privacy is yours on this rushing mountain stream. No flood insurance required. The house, a modest but meticulously maintained ranch, is oriented to the stream.

There is a wonderful windowed porch to watch and listen; or else sit on the two-seater swing and banish all your cares. The park-like aspect of the property has been sweetly landscaped and scrupulously maintained, and you walk up a secluded path along the stream. Nothing needs doing in the house itself: it is ready to move in and just enjoy. Yet it also lends itself to any kind of remodeling or re-imagining a buyer might have in mind. Waterfront property such as this one comes along rarely in Ulster County ................$499,000

He’d do best in a home w/no cats or young children, he’d make a great companion for an active owner. We also have Macy; beautiful Shepherd mix who loves to run, so a fenced-in yard & active owners are best. There are 2 Mastiffs here that are waiting for their forever homes, Dutchess & Puddy, & both would do best as your only pets. We’ve also got Albert, an 8-10 year old Cocker Spaniel who’d love to come home w/you! We have plenty of KITTENS & YOUNGER CATS right now, including a very anxious young girl named Nellie who really needs to get out of the shelter & relax in the sunshine at her forever home. Max is here: he has some digestive issues that are controllable w/his diet & he’d be forever grateful for a new home. Come meet Zooey; beautiful calico lady. Let’s not forget the ultra-friendly Atomic Tangerine (don’t

let his name scare you). As usual, we’ve got plenty of BUNNIES that range in size from small-large. Come meet Mandy, whose last owners forgot to take her w/them when they moved. She’s been through a lot & is ready to love again. Hopi & Dakota are cute little brown bunnies, & Slinky the bunny was born at the shelter and is looking for a home to call his own. We also have HAMSTERS, GUINEA PIGS & BIRDS. Come CHECK THEM ALL OUT TODAY at the UCSPCA, 20 Wiedy Rd., Kingston, off Sawkill Road.

PRAYER TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN. (Never known to fail.) Oh, most beautiful flower of Mt. Carmel, fruitful vine splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son of God. Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity.

Oh, Star of the Sea, help me and show me herein you are my mother. Oh, Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and 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 Mother, 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, the request will be granted. This prayer must be published after the favor is granted.

HEALTHY HUDSON VALLEY

Healthy Communities

W

hen it comes to our health we all want to beat the odds. How can the health and fitness of the region’s residents be improved?

Traditional educational methods attempt to persuade individuals to adopt personal lifestyle changes. In a hope to improve that outcome, local neighborhoods and communities are presenting initiatives to encourage residents to walk, skate or ride bikes. To encourage healthy eating there are local Farmer’s Markets to allow access to fresh produce and community gardens which are a wonderful way to teach children by participation. On-line resources post nutritional information of local eateries as well as educate residents on healthier food choices, portion sizes and how we as individuals need to become more responsible for our own health.

This year’s edition of Healthy Communities will highlight the relationship between the health of the people of our local communities and unique assets of which they feel the most proud. This will be an adventure on which we hope you will join us.
