WHEEL REALLY IS MAJESTIC STUFF, the sound of Stevenson pushing her formidable talent to what may or may not be its outer limits, helped along by McMahon’s legendary flair for sullied beauty.

Wheel of fortune

Laura Stevenson plays BSP in Kingston

I

f you want to make a sonically distinctive, dramatic and highimpact record (and who doesn’t?), you can do worse than running the circuit that begins at Marcata Studio, Kevin McMahon’s rustic chapel of beauty and distress in New Paltz, and that ends with the exacting ears of Jamal Ruhe, one of the busiest mastering engineers at Alan Douches’ West West Side Music mastering facility in New Windsor (where the client list includes last names like Townshend and first names like Sufjan). The restless, prolific and superaccomplished indie rock singer/ songwriter Laura Stevenson availed herself of this oft-coupled team for her first true solo record, Wheel (2013, Don Giovanni Records), and the results are, to my ears, a career landmark for Stevenson. It is an album of incredible depth and range and sudden, volatile dynamics: truly one of McMahon’s calling cards as a producer, but also present in all of Stevenson’s previous work, so the pairing was a natural. The Long Island native’s debut fulllength with her band the Cans, 2010’s A Record, starts – as does Wheel – by

positioning Stevenson seemingly in the center of the faux-Appalachian Baroque/ folk revival, but it is an absolute red herring in both cases, exposed by the crushing, serrated guitar rock that swiftly follows. The second record by the Cans, Sit Resist (which, surprisingly, is not a palindrome) finalizes the move to fullband indie rock and foreshadows more of the Xtreme dynamic character of Wheel, even though some of Sit Resist’s finest moments are modest, one-gear plain pop

gems like the wildly popular tune “Master of Art.� Beyond the smart, surreal and emotionally articulate lyrics, the inventive and impassioned guitar-playing and the immersive sonics of each track, the trip about Laura Stevenson is her voice: Small and even a little pointy in basic character, it surprises continuously with its pinpoint detail and control, its melismatic acrobatics and its ability to elevate to the realm of the epic without much warning. Wheel exploits this for all it’s worth on such swelling, long-arc, dynamic narratives as “L Dopa� and “Telluride� (which manages to feel as epic as a ten-minute Crazy Horse jam in a mere three minutes and 33 seconds). Wheel really is majestic stuff, the sound of Stevenson pushing her formidable talent to what may or may not be its outer limits, helped along by McMahon’s legendary flair for sullied beauty. It’s a fully realized masterwork of luminous,

ambitious and stormy Americana rock that just schools most anything else that I can think of meeting that description. I can’t wait to hear Stevenson and her touring band – which includes the badass Hudson Valley drummer and multiinstrumentalist/songwriter Sammi Niss (Battle Ave., Hiding behind Sound, the Pelican Movement) – at BSP on Friday, September 5.

Beech Creeps & Luxurious Faux Furs play Half Moon SmashCrashBash, the Peter Aaron-curated series of shows devoted to the garage and the great rainbow of raw, has some legs, it seems. On Friday, September 5, the Half Moon in Hudson hosts the 11 th installment of SmashCrashBash, featuring the Brooklyn noise-rock trio Beech Creeps and blues/punk duo the Luxurious Faux Furs. “Noise” bands tend to come in two basic kinds: those that honor the steady pulse (like Kingston’s all-star experimental band Ultram) and those that don’t, really letting ungirded, unregimented noise be the thing that is happening (like Aaron’s own guitar-noise project Avondale Airforce). I’ll be darned if the underground all-stars in the Beech Creeps don’t find a way to muddle that distinction and split the difference. Retro-primitive blues duos are not in short supply these days, but the husband/ wife band Luxurious Faux Furs possesses at least one key advantage in that market: They are extremely good-looking and well-dressed. Beyond that, it’s convincing visceral, gutbucket and sleaze blues of the kind that will change your mindset in exactly the way that Aaron intends every time out.

Artists like the trumpeter, composer and bandleader Etienne Charles (not that there are many artists like

Etienne Charles) give hope to the future of jazz. Charles is both a true international fusionist and a true heir to and torchbearer of the cerebral and interpretive challenges of jazz. His fourth release as leader, 2013’s Creole on his own Culture Shock imprint, is brilliant in its conception and a tour de force in its execution. It is also irresistibly groovy. The Trinidad native’s fusion of various Caribbean rhythms and the harmonic sophistication of jazz is seamless and natural. Charles is also quite a modest session leader, often seeming to privilege the gales of hot blowing by the astonishing saxophonists Jacques Schwartz-Bart (tenor) and Brian Hogans (alto) over his own exquisite, hyperarticulate hornplaying. The Juilliard graduate, still in his 20s, teaches jazz at Michigan State University, and while Creole certainly can be read as a dissertation on the global pathways of musical evolution and the multiple

Now, starting in October, the new organization Classics on Hudson will be presenting a series of six concerts for the 2014/15 season, beginning with a fundraiser on Saturday, September 6. Violinist and violist Helena Baillie is co-artistic director of the series, sharing duties with organist and conductor Gwen Gould. Gould, who founded the Columbia Festival Orchestra and directed it for 15 years, grew up in Dutchess County. Baillie, who comes from England, now occupies two roles at Bard College: artist fellow and violin faculty member at the Conservatory of Music Preparatory Division. She will be participating in the fundraiser and also in two of the season concerts. “An Evening of Classical and Tangoâ€? will feature Baillie and guitarist Alexander Henry at the Hudson Opera House’s second-floor gallery. The announced program includes works of Bach, BartĂłk, Paganini and tango composers.

Charlie Daniels Band at HITS: Doin’ It Dylan in Saugerties on Sunday

C

harlie Daniels likes touring, and events like the big annual concert at HITS in Saugerties where he’ll be playing on Sunday, September 7, make him feel “at homeâ€? in the Hudson Valley. Daniels, longtime bandleader and songwriter (his first effort getting picked up by none other than Elvis), moved to Nashville as a bluegrass fiddler in the 1960s. Drawing him there was the legendary Bob Johnston, known for producing Bob Dylan’s Highway 61 Revisited, Blonde on Blonde and John Wesley Harding, and Simon & Garfunkel’s Sounds of Silence. Daniels arrived with a young wife, a twoyear-old and what he remembers as “only $20 in my pocket.â€? And then things started to take off. Daniels was the guitarist on Dylan’s Nashville Skyline. He played on for the varied Self Portrait sessions, then switched to bass for a series of afternoons and evenings where George Harrison played guitar and the comeback album New Morning eventually came into shape (after he made a series of unreleased recordings of such classics as “I Met Him on a Sundayâ€? and “Yesterday,â€? singing tĂŞte-Ă -tĂŞte with Mr. Dylan). And then Daniels went on to become Leonard Cohen’s bassist, in the studio and on tour, during what many consider Cohen’s most prolific period (including the sublime “Famous Blue Raincoatâ€?). Daniels even got involved with music producing himself, putting together what many consider one of 1969’s greatest albums: the Youngbloods’ Elephant Mountain (including its hit “Darkness, Darknessâ€?). By the 1970s, his Charlie Daniels Band was touring and recording, known for its “longhair country boyâ€? sound akin to other Southern bands like the Allman Brothers and the Marshall Tucker Band, with whom Daniels played on albums and tours. By 1974 he founded the annual Volunteer Jam, a big concert of Southern rock bands in the middle of Nashville, and penned the hit “The South’s Gonna Do It Againâ€? – just in time for Georgia governor Jimmy Carter’s rise to the White House. Then he recorded his signature song, “The Devil Went Down to Georgia,â€? which won a Grammy for Best Country Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group in 1979 as well as single of the year at the Country Music Association Awards. Later, during the Iranian hostage crisis, Daniels penned the anthemic “In America,â€? after which he became known for turning his back on his more eclectic roots – until, a few years ago, when he returned to playing bluegrass and a more personal sort of music that then yielded the Dylan album last spring. There, covering everything from “A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fallâ€? and “Mr. Tambourine Manâ€? to the 1980’s born-again classic “Gotta Serve Somebody,â€? Daniels and his band bring their signature sense of gusto to Dylan’s great tunes; while on “I Shall Be Releasedâ€? and the Nashville Skyline classic “I’ll Be Your Baby Tonight,â€? Daniels seems to be reaching back to

Daniels was the guitarist on Dylan’s Nashville Skyline

County. Leading the band was the same man who has led the band for David Letterman each night for years, and previously worked with the Saturday Night Live house band, a number of film bands (including The Blues Brothers) and directed the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame house band since the awards started in the mid-1980s. We’re talking Mr. Paul Allen Wood Shaffer, from Thunder Bay, Ontario, who has become about as famous a “sideman� and/or journeyman musician has ever become, including the

He’ll be playing with the Tisziji Muùoz Quartet at Marlboro’s Falcon this Saturday, September 6, in a rare local performance that’s not a guest spot (as he has done at Levon Helm’s Rambles and other venues over the years). What makes this gig particularly interesting, is that Shaffer and the singlenote guitarist Muùoz have been playing together now for over four decades, having met while living in Toronto, cemented their relationship in the house band for Canadian productions of Hair

embrace a lifetime of experience, including one’s all-so-human idealistic reversals. “I’ve been a Dylan fan for a long time, and he’s just one of those guys that hit the spot with me, you know, that I’d thoroughly enjoyed listening to through the years. One of the great things about his catalogue is you never run out of songs. There’s just so many to choose from,� he has said of Off the Grid and his choices thereon. “I wanted to do songs that I felt that we do best, that would fit our style and the way that we did things. I didn’t want to do an album that copied all the arrangements that Bob had and everything. I wanted to do one that would be like we would do it if we had written the songs... I went through and tried to glean the tunes that would not fit us out. There were a few that we tried that didn’t work. Like ‘Lay Lady Lay,’ for instance: I really wanted to do that one, but we couldn’t find a way to do it that was not very similar to the way it was done on the album.� In the end, Daniels’ choices, like his shows, are about good entertainment. “I’ve always been a bandleader,� he said. “But the one piece that I love above all the rest is performing for people live. There’s nothing I do that compares with that. I just thank God that I can make a living doing something I enjoy so much. Being on the road is just as natural for me as it is for someone who lives in the suburbs to drive into the office every day. That’s my life, and the way I choose to live it.� He’s at home as well in our Hudson Valley, it seems – here in upstate New York near where a certain someone once penned so many of the songs that he’ll be bringing back to us all, in his inimitable style, on Sunday.

MOVIE

ALMANAC WEEKLY

September 4, 2014

THE SAVING GRACE OF even a mediocre Allen film is usually the caliber of actors who want to work with him, and this one is no exception.

The skeptic spellbound Charming cast uplifts Woody Allen’s lackluster Magic in the Moonlight

T

here’s no question that Woody Allen is an auteur whose films – even his least successful – a cinephile dare not overlook. The totality of his body of work will stand him permanently among the great directors, even if he never makes another movie that’s up to the level of his earlier output. That being said, perhaps there comes a time in a filmmaker’s life when all the good ideas have been used up, and all that an audience can look forward to are retreads. I’m beginning to suspect that this is precisely what is happening with Allen. It starts right with the opening credits, which you know are going to appear in that same old Windsor typeface that he always uses, set against some vintage jazz recording. Maybe it’s supposed to mean that the creative genius has no time or energy to waste on fripperies like a flashy credit sequence, but what it actually communicates by now is that you know, more or less, what’s coming: a romantic comedy about selfinvolved, neurotic people who talk a lot. You’ll be able to pick out the character who would have been played by Tony Roberts in a Woody Allen film of the 1970s or ’80s, and the heroine will likely have the same sort of awkward mannerisms that could have been portrayed by Diane Keaton or Mia Farrow back then as well. Sadly, there will also probably still be an older man fulfilling the director’s seeming lifelong fantasy of conquest of a much younger woman. And the romance will be pursued, dependably, in nightclubs where yet more vintage jazz can be played. The dialogue will be glib, snappy and cerebral and, these days, probably will read better on paper than it sounds coming out of the mouths of actors, however talented they may be. So you know what you’re getting into, for the most part, if you go to see Allen’s latest, Magic in the Moonlight. It’s prettily set in the Côte d’Azur and Provence

Emma Stone and Colin Firth in Magic in the Moonlight during the Roaring Twenties, so you’ll have lots of sun-drenched scenery and frothy flapper frocks to look at and yes, vintage jazz to listen to while you try to ignore the absence of any fresh ideas on the director’s part. That’s not to say that Magic in the Mo o n l i g h t i s 100 percent predictable. As is appropriate for a story about a highly skilled stage magician trying to unmask a psychic whom he believes to be a swindler, Allen himself does exercise a nifty bit of misdirection, and the big plot twist near the end is one that this reviewer at least did not spot coming from a mile away. But by the time it came along, I was getting pretty antsy, feeling like I’d seen this all before – often in Woody Allen movies. The saving grace of even a mediocre Allen film is usually the caliber of actors who want to work with him, and this one is no exception. Colin Firth, as the protagonist Stanley Crawford (stage name Wei Ling Soo), has a gift for projecting charm even when he’s playing a rigid, stuck-up, judgmental, emotionally constipated near-cad like he is here. And he plows on with conviction in his character even when Allen feeds him ridiculously unnatural lines to deliver, such as proclaiming himself a genius. Emma Stone as the young American clairvoyant Sophie Baker – the poor, uneducated Galatea/Eliza Doolittle whom Stanley’s Pygmalion/Henry Higgins is determined to unmake – makes winning goo-goo eyes, and occasionally scores

You know, more or less, what’s coming: a romantic comedy about self-involved, neurotic people who talk a lot.

points by putting her persecutor firmly in his place; but you may find yourself distracted by thoughts like, “That was an Annie Hall move right there.” As is usual in a Woody Allen movie, Magic in the Moonlight is an ensemble piece featuring supporting players who often steal scenes from our eventually moonstruck lead couple. Even if you don’t buy the romance, it’s worth seeing for the performances of Jacki Weaver (the fabulous Australian actress who played Bradley Cooper’s Mom in Silver Linings Playbook) as Grace, a wealthy widow who relishes Sophie’s séances; Hamish Linklater as her earnest, dorky, ukulelestrumming son who moons over Sophie; and Simon McBurney (looking like Bob Balaban in round glasses) in the Bob Balaban role of Howard, the old friend and magician colleague who recruits Stanley to ferret out the chink in Sophie’s performance that he could not. Best of all is English stage veteran Eileen Atkins as Stanley’s sounding board, Aunt Vanessa, who conceals an old heartache of her own under a seemingly practical, no-nonsense exterior. Of all Allen’s past oeuvre, Magic in the Moonlight is perhaps most reminiscent of Radio Days and The Purple Rose of Cairo, with their period settings and similar themes of magic – whether the audio, the cinematic or the stage variety – trumping dull, scientific, mundane reality. It doesn’t really take us anyplace new; but there are always less enjoyable ways to spend part of an evening than at the latest Woody Allen movie. – 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.

Grease opens on Friday in Rhinebeck Back when Sean Matthew Whiteford co-founded the Castaway Players Theatre Company in 2005, he was just 17 and jazzed on leaving his mark on the brassy modern musicals that he was growing to love. He has since served as the young and energetic troupe’s artistic director, vocal and musical director, producer and choreographer for such classics as The Rocky Horror Show, Hair, Rent, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Little Shop of Horrors and his very own Girlfriend from Hell. Opening on Friday at the Center for Performing Arts in Rhinebeck, Whiteford and the Castaway Players are not only reviving their production of Grease from a few years ago, but also returning it to its edgy bad-side-ofhigh-school roots, which first saw the musical premiered as an Off-Broadwaylike “anti-musical,” following in the footsteps of Hair from a few years earlier. “This production’s conception has aimed to capture that essence of Grease as it was originally intended,” Whiteford says. “Don’t get me wrong; these are still all the characters you love, and it still has that amazing rock ’n’ roll score! But perhaps you’ll get to know all of these characters – excuse me, people – a little more, and you’ll leave with a deeper appreciation for a show that, over time, has just fallen out of an author’s control. Our company has had an absolute blast rehearsing, breathing new life and energy to this…and hey, as we’ll all sing together at the end of the show, ‘That’s the way it should be.’” – Paul Smart Castaway Players Theatre Company presents Grease, September 5-21, Fridays/Saturdays 8 p.m., Sundays 3 p.m.,

THIS SUMMER, HITE BROUGHT HIS MINIATURE STRUCTURES to photograph on the grounds of one of the Hudson Valley’s most iconic historic buildings: the Livingston family manse at Clermont

Shacking up Robert Hite’s Imagined Histories exhibit opens at Clermont

T

hough he started out as an abstract landscape painter, Esopus resident Robert Hite always carried in his mind’s eye the strong impressions of his boyhood rambles through the fields of rural Virginia, dotted with abandoned houses and sharecroppers’ shacks. Later travels in Latin America reinforced that visual lexicon with images of corrugated metal barrio dwellings. So it was only a matter of time before whimsical buildings began to creep into his paintings and then pop out of them again in three dimensions. His artistic reputation is increasingly founded upon these folksy, evoca-

tive sculptures, and these architectural explorations were recognized just this past April with a Guggenheim Fellowship. Most recently, Hite has moved into photography, creating illusions of scale as he places his model buildings in natural and urban settings and records them from various angles in an ongoing series that he calls Imagined Histories. The design of the sculptures is becoming ever more site-specific, with certain models crafted to support flowering vines that he photographs over time, from first green shoots to profuse bloom to dried-out skeletal remnants.

of one of the Hudson Valley’s most iconic historic buildings: the Livingston family manse at Clermont in Columbia County. This Sunday at the Clermont State Historic Site, an exhibition will open of Hite’s black-and-white photographs of architectural sculptures situated in scenic forests, fields and gardens throughout Clermont’s 500-acre estate, with backdrops that include spectacular views of the Hudson River. “Having access and being able to install sculptures to photograph at Clermont has been a boon to my work and a real pleasure. The rolling hills, vistas of the Hudson River and meadows have been an inspiration and joy to experience,” says Hite. “Clermont is a place rich in history, and there has been a great fit between

what I do and the spirit of preservation that imbues Clermont.” “Clermont’s Imagined Histories: Photographs, Paintings and Sculptures by Robert Hite” will be on view in both the Clermont mansion and the Visitors’ Center from September 7 through October 13. An opening reception will be held at Clermont this Sunday, September

First Saturday openings in Kingston Kingston’s First Saturday openings this weekend herald a particularly exciting number of top-shelf exhibitions throughout the city. Starting way downtown at the nearlyhidden-but-ultrahip little One Mile Gallery on the Rondout Creek, veteran artist Armand Roussillon is back with a collection of his perfectly executed high-concept works: certain to draw a crowd for this constantly inventive (and consistently witty and simultaneously heartful) Gardiner resident. Look for intimate works of deep monumentality as Rusillon continues his explorations of natural materials, largely wood and stone, honed into otherworldly beauty. Just up the creek and Abeel Street, towards the Hudson and Broadway, will be the work of three strong women artists – Amy Cote, Beth Humphrey and Jenny Lee Fowler – at the Kingston Museum of Contemporary Art (KMoCA), each exploring new areas of image-making and process. Meanwhile, at the Storefront Gallery on Broadway, Woodstock artist Loel Barr will be exhibiting her new “Past Livesâ€? pencil drawings, each inspired by a photo that the artist took of a rack of clothes in a thrift store and the stories that she found hidden there. Star House Gallery, in the Shirt Factory studio building at 77 Cornell Street in Midtown Kingston, has a Community Generator experimental group painting project up. Headed uptown to the Stockade area, the Irish-born artist Claire Lambe – as talented and insightful a portrait-painter as she is a writer – will be opening “Eye of the Beholderâ€? at the Uptown Gallery, with many of those in the expressionistic-

yet-graphically-powerful painted artwork at the opening. Photographer B. Doktor will be showing her “Essential Moments� photos at the Hudson Valley LGBTQ Center at the corner of Wall and Green Streets. Finally, Hudson Coffee Traders, down Wall Street a few doors from where the always-inventive Polly Law has been showing her grandly-executed-yet-oftendark bricolage works, will be hosting its new opening of an artist’s work as yet unannounced. All openings run between 5 and 8 p.m. Talk about kicking the 2014/15 cultural season off right! – Paul Smart Kingston First Saturday art openings, Saturday, September 6. 5-8 p.m.: Storefront & ASK Galleries, 93 & 97 Broadway; KMoCA & One Mile Galleries, 103 & 475 Abeel Street; Uptown Gallery, LGBQT Center & Hudson Coffee Traders, Wall Street between Main and North Front Streets; Shirt Factory, 77 Cornell Street; www.artalongthehudson/kingston, www.kingstonhappenings.org.

Bard awards Keith Haring Fellowship to Jeanne van Heeswijk Ah, Keith Haring. Those who were living in New York when the later artworld legend started making magic from the blank ad slots throughout the city’s subway system, will never forget the witty joys of discovering all that he created. It helped change the way the City’s graffiti was seen. And when Andy Warhol began collaborating with Haring, it was as if a whole new generation and world of art was granted the okay to take over the City’s and world’s attention. Bard College has inaugurated a new Keith Haring Fellowship in Art and Activism to allow a distinguished leader “to investigate the role of art as a catalyst for social changeâ€? with an annual lecture each spring. Bard has named Jeanne van Heeswijk, an artist based in the Netherlands, as the award’s first recipient. Van Heeswijk’s one-year appointment starts this month and will allow her to further her work “facilitating the creation of dynamic and diversified

public spaces in order to radicalize the local.â€? It’s a particularly long-term art process that she started in the late 1990s as a means of “unraveling invisible legislation, governmental codes and social institutions, in order to enable communities to take control over their own futures.â€? “The Keith Haring Fellowship in Art and Activism is an appropriate tribute to the life and work of Keith Haring, whose contributions to the visual arts and to human rights activism cannot be separated,â€? noted Center for Curatorial Studies executive director Tom Eccles of the new award. “Just as his playful and polemical work injected political questions about HIV/AIDS and gay identity into a sometimes-complacent art world, so his activism helped force mainstream advocacy organizations to take the AIDS crisis seriously as a broad human rights issue rather than a narrow special interest.â€? Find out more on Van Heeswijk’s fellowship and lecture over the coming year of her residency, or at the Bard Curatorial Studies website at www.bard. edu/ccs. – Paul Smart

Exhibit honoring Tallix Foundry’s Dick Polich at Dorsky Museum The Dorsky Museum at SUNY-New Paltz will host an opening reception for “Dick Polich: Transforming Metal into Art� on Saturday, September 6 from 5 to 7 p.m. The exhibition will remain on view through December 14. As the force behind the Tallix Fine Art Foundry, Polich and his craftspeople have cast sculptures in bronze, steel, aluminum, iron and silver created by Janine Antoni, Cleve Gray, Nancy Graves, Jeff Koons, Roy Lichtenstein, Isamu Noguchi,

Tom Otterness, Rona Pondick, Martin Puryear, Joel Shapiro and Frank Stella. Photographs, drawings, models and other materials in the exhibition present the creative process from sketch to finished sculpture. “Dick Polich: Transforming Metal into Art� is the first museum exhibition to survey the career of Polich, one of the world’s principal art fabricators who, like others in his profession, remains behind the scenes. The exhibition reveals how Polich has impacted the development of contemporary art by opening up the industrial process of metal-casting and fabrication to accommodate the creative choices of artists. The first section of the exhibition interweaves a history of Polich’s foundry leadership from 1969 to today with 11 carefully selected works of art that reveal the transformations in style, technique and medium fostered by Polich. The second section presents an in-depth video documentary about the Polich Tallix Fine Art Foundry by artist Stephen Spaccarelli. The third section delves into the techniques and materials of contemporary foundry work. A witty installation by Otterness demonstrates all the steps involved in making a bronze sculpture with Polich. Museum hours are Wednesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, call (845) 257-3844 or visit www.newpaltz.edu/museum.

Dutchess Fairgrounds host Hudson Valley Wine & Food Fest this weekend

S

ummer vacation may be over for most, but harvest time is just getting into full swing. And this weekend, you can sample the season’s bounty to your heart’s content at the Dutchess County Fairgrounds, where the Hudson Valley Wine & Food Fest will be making its 13th annual appearance. Touted as “a celebration of the gourmet lifestyle in the Hudson Valley,” the event features wine- (and also beer-) tasting from some of the best wineries and craft breweries from all across New York State. Regional restaurants, food trucks and gourmet specialty food and ingredient vendors from all over the East Coast will be on hand, as well as celebrity chefs doing cooking demonstrations. Because the Fest is a New York State-registered farm market, you can purchase wine by the bottle to take home. Priced at $40 for a single day and $75 for the full weekend, a Tasting Ticket includes admission, a tasting glass and all the wine that you care to taste. Regular tickets, which cost $22 per day and $37 for the weekend and are perfect for your designated driver, include admission, free water or soda and a souvenir glass upon exiting the event. Children age 12 and under get in free. You can obtain advance tickets online at www. hudsonvalleywinefest.com. Restaurant sampling, beer sampling and food concessions are not included in the price of admission. Restaurant sampling tickets are sold separately at $1 each ticket, with samples priced between

one and five tickets. Food trucks accept cash only. The Hudson Valley Wine & Food Fest runs from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, September 6 and from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, September 7 at the Dutchess County Fairgrounds on Route 9 in Rhinebeck. For more information call (845) 658-7181 or visit the website. – Frances Marion Platt Hudson Valley Wine & Food Fest, Saturday, September 6, 11 a.m.-6 p.m., Sunday, September 7, 11 a.m.-5 p.m., $75/$40/$37/$22, Dutchess County Fairgrounds, 6550 Spring Brook Avenue (Route 9), Rhinebeck; (845) 658-7181, www.hudsonvalleywinefest.com.

Terrapin’s New York State Craft Beer Experience returns Terrapin Restaurant in Rhinebeck used to host an annual BeerFest, with unlimited admission; and although it proved popular, chef/owner Josh Kroner wasn’t satisfied with how the

event played out. “At BeerFest, brewers poured their own beer at their own tasting tables, and poured what they chose to bring. There was no real direction or guidance for tasters,” notes the webpage for what is now known as the New York State Craft Beer Experience. Moreover, under the old system, the milling crowds made it difficult for patrons to get to the tables and sample the brews that they most wanted to try.

As of three years ago, all that has changed. The beers are arranged by style rather than by brewery. So if you come to the Craft Beer Experience on Saturday, September 13, you’ll be tasting flights of four two-ounce samples of wheat beers or four stouts next to each other, accompanied by tapassized portions of food prepared by Chef Kroner specifically to complement that beer style. Moreover, attendance is limited to

Tasters move along a defined path from lighter to darker beer styles, with the goal that no more than eight people will be tasting at any one of the ten stations at any one time. Each tasting station will have a knowledgeable craft beer professional available to answer any questions and talk beer with you. Breweries that have been invited to participate this year include Brooklyn Brewery, Brewery Ommegang, Sixpoint Brewery, Southern Tier Brewing, Shmaltz Coney Island, Lake Placid Brewery, Southampton Publick House, Saranac, Fire Island Brewery, Captain Lawrence Brewing, He’Brew, Blue Point Brewing Company, Keegan Ales, Ithaca Beer Co., KelSo, Middle Ages Brewing, Rushing Duck, Great South Bay Brewery, Butternuts Beer & Ale and Bronx Brewery. Who knew that we had that many craft breweries in New York State alone? For the price of $65 per person, arrivals at Terrapin’s Dining Room can be booked at ten-minute intervals between 12 noon and 3 p.m., and the full tasting journey is estimated to take an hour-and-a-half. During that time you’ll consume up to 80 ounces of beer, ale, porter and stout, and at the end you’ll receive a ticket for a free pint of tap beer in the Terrapin Red Bistro after the tasting. That’s a lot of beer, so you’re encouraged to bring along a designated driver at the price of $26 per

EVENT

Stone Ridge Orchard hosts Balkan musicfest

F

armer Elizabeth Ryan, of Breezy Hill Orchard and Cider Mill in Staatsburg and now Stone Ridge Orchard, has been traveling to the Balkans since 1977 when she was a young woman. “The first time I heard Bulgarian singing, I couldn’t stop sobbing. I’m an American ‘mutt’ like a lot of people,” she says, describing her mixed genealogy, “but this music just hit a nerve in me.” She spent some time immersed in the traditional music there, and then came home to Cornell University to study agriculture. As owner and operator of Breezy Hill for 25 years, Ryan is passionate about the subjects of heirloom apples and the agricultural heritage of the Hudson Valley – so much so that she recently mounted a successful campaign to save Stone Ridge Orchard from sale and development. Together, the two properties support the growth of more than 100 varieties of apples and other fruits. Ryan also helped reestablish the viable production of New York State farmhouse cider in the Farmer Elizabeth Ryan region. Combining her passions, Ryan will again host “Balkan Music in the Orchard” on Sunday, September 7 from 1 to 8 p.m. Traditional music and dance from Bulgaria, Macedonia, Albania and Greece will echo through the trees and over the Marbletown hills, making visitors wonder if they haven’t perhaps been dropped into another culture entirely. The lineup of entertainment includes the ensemble Bulgarika from the Balkan Peninsula, featuring Nikolay Kolev with Donka and Maria Koleva, Vasil Bebelekov and Dragni Dragnev: all master musicians of Bulgarian folk instruments such as the gadulka, gaida, tupan and kaval. An accomplished composer and arranger of folksongs, Nikolay Kolev has taught at the East European Folklife Center Balkan Camps on both US coasts and has a fanbase of students all over the country. He was the first Bulgarian to be recognized by the Slavic Heritage Council of America for his outstanding contributions in music. Caprice Rouge, a mid-Hudson Valley-based acoustic group comprised of Laura Wilson, Karen Levine, Elena Erber and Tim Allen, will play Balkan dance tunes, drawing on Old World folk styles of Roma/Gypsy and klezmer music. Steve Kotansky will lead a traditional Balkan dance workshop. The Bosilek Bulgarian Folk Dance Ensemble and Vanaver Caravan Kids with Bill and Livia Vanaver will also perform. “And others might show up,” says Ryan. The outdoor event is modeled on celebrations in Eastern Europe. “There, the line between performers and audience is very thin. People will get up onstage and sing with the musicians, or they will carry their mics out into the audience to sing with the people. And the songs themselves tell poignant stories – especially since the diaspora of traditional musicians caused by war and economics in the region.” This will be Bulgarika’s second appearance in Stone Ridge. Ryan says that the group loves the experience of being in the orchard and supporting the farm. “They have a reverence for farmers and village life,” she adds. Food and drinks produced by the farm will be available for purchase, including wood-fired pizza, fruit and baked goods, fresh apple cider and Hudson Valley Farmhouse Cider: the hard stuff for discerning adult drinkers. Regular farmstand and pick-your-own-apples hours are from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, contact elizabethsryan@aol.com or (845) 2663979, and RSVP on the Friends of Stone Ridge Orchard Facebook page. – Ann Hutton

Hudson Valley Walk to Solve Kids’ Cancer in Highland Adams Fairacre Farms has teamed up with Solving Kids’ Cancer to present the first Hudson Valley Walk to Solve Kids’ Cancer on Saturday, September 6. The two-mile walk will begin at Tony Williams Field in Highland and continue along the beautiful Hudson Valley Rail Trail. Last September, two mothers, Jennifer Noll and Alethea Ramirez, raised more than $20,000 in 30 days for childhood cancer research. During National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month,

the Poughkeepsie natives launched their campaign with their employer Adams Fairacre Farms, collecting donations at checkout lanes at all four store locations in the Hudson Valley. The funds raised supported the launch of a novel clinical trial for children battling neuroblastoma, one of the deadliest childhood cancers. This year, the two Moms hope to raise just as much money, if not more, to fund another clinical trial. “We will not stop raising money until we completely wipe out these cancers. Jen and I truly believe in the Solving Kids’ Cancer motto that ‘Every kid deserves to grow up,’” said Ramirez. Registration for the walk will cost $5 for individuals, $10 per family; children under age 4 can participate for free. Participants may register for the walk and also fundraise for childhood cancer research by going to www.crowdrise. com/hudsonrivervalleywalk2014. Onsite registration will be available the day of the event from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. The walk will begin at 10 a.m., and closing ceremonies will be held at 12 noon. The Hudson Valley Walk to Solve Kids’ Cancer will feature food and children’s entertainment. Sponsorship opportunities are available by contacting Alethea Ramirez at (845) 454-4330. One hundred percent of all donations to Solving Kids’ Cancer go directly to fund novel treatments for children who are battling cancer today. Created by two fathers who lost children

to pediatric cancer, Solving Kids’ Cancer is committed to significant improvement of survivorship of the deadliest childhood cancers. One hundred percent of all donations are used to find, fund and manage clinical trials and scientific programs to develop more effective and less toxic treatments rapidly.

“I think some folks may be confused about what we mean by ‘peaceful parenting.’ Our goal is to help parents connect more deeply with their children and interpret their kids’ behavior more effectively so that families work together better to find tools and solutions that really work,” explains Marji Zintz, the “Peaceful Parenting whisperer.” “The outcome is...well...a more peaceful and harmonious home where everyone’s needs are met. A bonus is that, because our kids do what we do, children ultimately learn more effective skills that will serve them throughout their lives.” On Tuesday, September 9 from 5:30 to 7

p.m., bring your questions and challenges and learn about her Peaceful Parenting six-week series, beginning soon at the Creative Co-op, and bring a whole-food contribution to the potluck (something that is as close to its whole food state as possible, such as an apple rather than an apple pie). Childcare is available for a fee and requires advance reservations at (845) 567-5672. This potluck is free, but donations are suggested for a contribution to the space. All it takes for change is a first step. Zintz says, “Shifting our perspective to achieve these results may be much easier than folks think it is!” The Creative Co-op is located at 402 Main Street in Rosendale, behind the Big Cheese.

NIGHT SKY

The super Harvest Moon – or is it? Coming up: a controversial Full Moon

T

his weekend, the media will proclaim a SuperMoon. You can’t blame them; NASA sent out a press release saying that the Full Moons of July, August and September are all SuperMoons. By that, they meant that the Moon’s monthly closest approach to Earth coincides with the Full Moon – and does so three months in a row. By this reasoning, we are about to see a SuperMoon. On top of that, it’s the Harvest Moon as well: A harvest SuperMoon. Or a super Harvest Moon. Well, something’s coming up, so let’s see exactly what it is. A month ago, on August 10, the closest Moon in 2 ½ years landed on the very same hour that the Moon was full. That was truly special, and many people enjoyed watching that enormous Moon rise just after sunset. This month, however, things are a little different. The Moon’s perigee, or monthly close approach, happens on Sunday night, September 7, at around midnight. This time it’s not a particularly noteworthy perigee, but the fifth-closest approach of the Moon this year. Moreover, unlike last month, the Full Moon doesn’t happen the same hour or even the same night as the perigee. It’s a full day later, on Monday night. So many astronomy organizations are scratching their heads and wondered why NASA’s calling this a “SuperMoon.” Worse, NASA said (unless it has recently retracted it) that it would happen on Tuesday night, which is just plain wrong. So, putting it all together, on Monday night we will see a Full Moon that is larger than usual, but not extraordinarily so. It will have reached its monthly close approach a night earlier.

The Harvest Moon is defined as the Full Moon closest to the Autumnal Equinox.

But how could NASA in its press release have said that this Moon would be on Tuesday? It made this mistake because someone there apparently looked up when the Moon will be full using universal time or UTC, which is 1:38 a.m. Tuesday morning, and that planted the word “Tuesday” in someone’s mind. But it’s really a little after midnight on Monday night. Using our own time zone, EDT, the Full Moon happens at 9:38 p.m. Monday night. By Tuesday night the party is long over. It will be interesting to see which major media sources proclaim Tuesday night as the SuperMoon. The next issue is the Harvest Moon business. This is the most famous Full Moon of the year. It is defined as the Full Moon closest to the Autumnal Equinox. Now, it’s a close call this year – closer than we’ve had in a long time. The Equinox occurs on September 23 (my sister’s birthday: Happy birthday, Jane). Full Moons are 29 ½ days apart. If you do the math, the September 8 Full Moon is just about as close to the Autumnal Equinox as the next one, on October 8. (That’s using Eastern Time for both dates.) However, the one coming up this Monday night is slightly closer: It’s 14 versus 15 days. And there can only be one winner. So this Monday night is the Harvest Moon – a harvest SuperMoon, if you like. Watch it rise due east, just after sunset. – Bob Berman Want to know more? To read Bob’s previous “Night Sky” columns, visit our Almanac Weekly website at HudsonValleyAlmanacWeekly.com.

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

A pinch in time Nipping the tips this week will yield sprightly sprouts

I

t’s time to get the hormones pumping. No, not by me embarking on some testosterone-fueled, garden-related feat of strength or endurance; not even my own hormones, but the ones in my plants – more specifically, my Brussels sprouts plants. And actually, quashing the action of one hormone so that other hormones can come to the fore. Let me explain: Brussels sprouts are not only a member of the cabbage family, but are also the same genus and species as cabbage – as are broccoli, cauliflower, kohlrabi and kale. Differences in these plants lie in the way that growth of the stems and leaves are expressed. Cabbage has a single stem that has been telescoped down to very short internodes, resulting in a tight head of overlapping leaves. With kale, internodes along the stem are farther apart, allowing each leaf to unfold fully on its own. They also look different from those of cabbage. In every plant, a shoot bud develops in the upper part of the crotch where a leaf joins a stem. Most Brussels sprouts buds each start to develop enough to form a small cabbagelike head. But I (and probably you also) want large Brussels sprouts sprouts – and more of them, so I also want tall Brussels sprouts plants on which to attach the sprouts. The sprouts are retarded somewhat in their development by a hormone called auxin. Auxin is one of many plant hormones coursing about within leaves, fruits, shoots and roots, their effect dependent on such variables as plant part, plant age and what other hormones they are reacting with. One place of auxin synthesis is in the tips of stems, and their effect is to suppress the growth of buds down along the stem, with more suppression the closer a bud is to the tip of the stem. I just looked at my Brussels sprouts plants; yes, the largest sprouts are those nearest ground level. It’s still too early to harvest and too many of the upper sprouts, at present, are too small to

be worth picking. Suppressing auxin production in the tips of the stems releases their hold on the buds – that is, the sprouts – along the stem, so that they can grow larger. Suppressing auxin production is simple, requiring only two fingers: Just snap off the tip of the stem. No tip, no auxin production – for a while, at least. The time to do this “operation” is the beginning of September. Done too soon, and a developing sprout might grow so bold as to grow out into, at worst, shoots, or, less worse, loose heads. Plus, earlier in the season, I want to keep the stem elongating to provide real estate along which to hang more sprouts.

As I wrote, every plant develops buds in its leaf axils, and in every plant, growth of those buds is mediated, in part, by auxin. Harvest the main head of broccoli and side shoots start to grow for eventual harvest. Even tight heads of cabbage have those buds, and they also respond to auxin’s influence. I used to plant cabbage in the spring for harvest in summer. Rather than pulling out the spent cabbage plants, as is usually done, I would leave the cut stump with a few bottom leaves for nourishment. Harvesting the cabbage dramatically removes the tip of the stem, which was buried within the head. Within a couple of weeks, new sprouts would develop in the crotches where leaves were or had been. In the ideal world, I’d get one to three new cabbage heads from each plant, ready for autumn harvest. A certain amount of art was needed to get it right. Depending on growing conditions and the number of new heads that I allowed to develop, they might end up too small or too loose-leaved. I’ve abandoned that chancy cabbage habit, and now do a second sowing of cabbage in early June for a reliable autumn harvest of firm heads. I fiddled around with hormones

earlier this season also, with longerterm goals in mind. Auxin keeps the tip of a stem or the upper portions of a plant growing most vigorously. Vigorous growth, though, is at odds with making fruit. After all, both require a lot of a plant’s energy, so the plant has to partition the energy efficiently between growing and fruiting. Pear trees are famous for growing vigorous shoots skyward. Yes, shoot growth is needed on which to hang fruit and for adequate leaves for photosynthesis. But enough is enough. Rather than pinch out shoot tips, which would likely just pass on the vigor to nearby lower buds, I bent branches down and held them there with string. Changing stem orientation from vertical to at or near horizontal quells auxin production, slows growth and promotes the formation of fruit buds along the stem. (Fruit buds form the year before flowers open.) Fruits now dangle from some of the stems that I pulled down a year ago last spring. The response can take more than a year as energy reserves are redistributed within the stem. Response also depends on a tree’s inherent vigor, growing conditions

for the season, the pear variety, the degree of stem-bending and other knowns and unknowns. It takes a mix of science, art and experience, and that’s what makes gardening so interesting for me.

SUNDAYS IN SEPTEMBER Motivated sellers invite all prospective buyers to view their exclusive private home on Hutchin Hill, Town of Woodstock, Hamlet of Shady for an OPEN HOUSE every Sunday in September from 1 - 3 PM. The long, treelined driveway, with old stone walls, opens to a huge sun drenched meadow with expansive views and a perfectly sited home built in 2005. The breathtaking 12 acre parcel includes: a large (15 ft deep/50 yard wide) swimable, spring fed, clean, stocked pond and a roaring mountain stream. The house is south-facing for optimal passive solar heating and year round views of Mount Guardian and Mount Tonche. The property offers prime locations for a garden, pool, barn, pasture, studio or even another house. There are 4 decks/porches/patios and the roof is perfectly pitched for solar panels. The builders used R-52 insulation, 2 x 6 construction, massive timber beams, and top-ofthe-line, oversized, energy efficient Andersen windows that yield huge heating/cooling savings. The house has three levels and over 3000 square feet of living space, ten foot ceilings, large great room with kitchen/dining, sun room, library/study with fireplace, 2/3 bedrooms and bathrooms, deep two person spa tub with mountain views, huge work bench area, laundry and rec/exercise room (or could be an office) with a separate entrance. The abundance of french doors and windows and the constant roar of the stream (with no traffic noise) create an extremely relaxing ambience. In fact, many animals enjoy the serene, peaceful setting as well. Most of the lumber used for the construction was obtained locally. The interior has wide pine floors and the exterior is rough cut pine. All of the materials were selected with simplicity, style and low-maintenance in mind! In addition, the 250 foot deep well has amazingly pure water; it is far better than anything you can buy in a bottle. Come and see our little slice of heaven, 1 mile up Hutchin Hill, on the right... bring your suit and go for a swim - ENJOY! The owners will be accepting all pre-qualified and/or cash offers (from low ball to above asking, $995,000) throughout the month of September and will accept best offer on, or before the first of October. If a Sunday in September does not fit your schedule, please call 845 679 6704 or text 845 706 7273 or email f3218@outlook.com to set up an appointment.

Hey, what’s the greatest music “one-hit wonder?” Well, composed in 1877, it is still played today and is the most familiar piece of music in history! Euphemia Allen, a 16 year old, wrote it… can you guess? Originally it was called The Celebrated Chop Waltz, and her brother Mozart Allen (no kidding), a music publisher; put it on the shelves under the pseudonym Arthur de Luilli. Named after the hand fashion it takes to play it (nothing to do with utensils) it is still known today as Chop Sticks! Amazingly, Ms. Allen or her alter ego never published anything again! You need to create your “one hit wonder” by letting us finding the home of your dreams!

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)758-1170. Spots are $12-$35.

September 4, 2014 Who has GUINEA PIGS?? The ULSTER COUNTY SPCA does!! HARMONY & PRECIOUS are very sweet guinea pigs. They’re low maintenance, full of funny squeaks & noises, great for kids. Good for homes where dog/ cat allergies are an issue. If you’d like the company of a PARAKEET, we have one just for you!! We also have A NEW BUNNY! HONEY BUNNY is the newest addition to our group of fun rabbits. A young fluffy female w/light brown markings; she’s shy but oh so sweet. Of course we have DOGS! Our newest arrivals is Benji. who’s a very shy 14-year old Lhasa Apso. Who wouldn’t be shy? 14-years old and being put in a shelter. If you’d like to foster Benji, that would be great too. TROOPER; 2-year old mixed breed, high energy and full of love to give; a great jogging companion. YANNI & SADIE; 2 cute adult Shepherd mixes. These siblings have been together since they were little pups so they’d like to be adopted together. They love to run around & take nice long naps afterwards. Prefer a house w/no other animals. BRIGGS & SHEBA are also here waiting for just the right families to take them to loving homes. And last but absolutely, not least, these are some of our glorious CATS. SANCHO; White & black male, neutered, very friendly, loves to find a bed and sleep the day away. TORO; Black & white neutered male kitty w/a lion haircut. Friendly enough to earn the title of lobby cat, Toro has been greeting visitors at the shelter for some time. SADE; adorable grey tabby kitten who has a neurological condition which makes her a bit clumsy (aren’t we all?), but she’s happy, healthy & involves no more care than any other wonderful kitty. She’s ready to go to a loving home today. She’s not a climber except to climb into your heart. Goosfrahbah; (Yes, Goosfrahbah!) is a big boy who’s as sweet as he is handsome. He is white w/beautiful tabby markings. AUSTIN; Another cat friendly enough to roam the lobby & mingle w/the public. He’s affectionately referred to around these parts as the “lobby otter” for his outgoing personality & striking resemblance to an otter. He’s an older gentleman, neutered & great w/other cats. In case you were wondering, VICTORIA, RAVEN & HAMMERJAW are still looking for loving & caring homes. So come see us and all of our other friends at the ULSTER COUNTY SPCA, 20 Wiedy Road, Kingston (just off the traffic circle). Open 6 days a week, 11:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. (Closed Mondays.)
