F

or someone synonymous with Northern California, Alice Waters has been springing up in the Hudson Valley with frequency. The celebrated chef, author and activist, famous for fostering stateside farm-to-table fine dining at her Berkeley restaurant Chez Panisse, finds there to be much in common between the two regions – and a few enviable differences on the New York side. “You’re much greener. You get water, we don’t; and that’s a very big difference in terms of the landscape. But in terms of farming and biodiversity, I think the same thing is going on in the Hudson Valley that’s been going on in Northern California for just about the same period of time,” Waters says. “You’ve always had a summer kind of diversity that’s amazing: blueberries and strawberries, and just think of the varietals of apples and pears in the fall…You really have more of a history of root cellars, and we need to learn how to do that, too, as the weather is changing. I think people have an illusion that we have everything all year long.” On Sunday, September 28, Waters will make a special appearance at bluecashew Kitchen Pharmacy in Rhinebeck to converse with the public and sign copies of her latest cookbook, The Art of Simple Food II. The intimate event will be held from 2 to 4 p.m. and is free and open to all. It’s the capstone to a busy Hudson Valley weekend. The day before, Saturday, September 27, Waters will attend a 4:30 p.m. ribbon-cutting ceremony at Empire Farm in Copake, as part of the FarmOn! Foundation’s fourth annual Friends of the

Farmer Hudson Valley Food-Lovers’ Farm Festival. From there it’s on to the soldout TEDxHudson: Crossroads conference, where she’ll be the guest of honor at a capstone farm-to-table gala. All three engagements reflect a passion for local, organic and sustainable produce and edible education.

since Eleanor Roosevelt’s World War II victory garden. Not coincidentally, Waters recently joined the Roosevelt Institute at the Franklin D. Roosevelt National Historic Society in Hyde Park. She’s a huge fan of the victory garden, instituted during World War II as a means of supplementing food shortages and encouraging civic pride. According to The Art of Simple Food II, “With Eleanor Roosevelt leading the charge with her garden on the White House lawn, more than 20 million victory gardens were planted during World War II, and they produced more than nine million tons of fresh vegetables,” Waters writes. One of her most exciting new projects is a victory garden at the Franklin D. Roosevelt National Historic Site in Hyde Park. “The idea that a garden would be planted at Roosevelt’s home was just

thrilling to me, and I said that I’d like to help. I think it’s going to stir people’s emotions, imaginations and sense of democracy, and I hope it brings us to back to our senses and engages us in a project that was dear to Eleanor Roosevelt’s heart,” she says. Waters’ parents’ victory garden was dear to hers. Born in 1944, she grew up playing and picking in the garden, which produced some of her favorite childhood flavors. “I always tell the story of when I was 4 or 6, I was dressed as the Queen of the Garden: I had strawberry bracelets and a crown of asparagus – the whole nine yards – and I won a prize. That’s where my roots are, in that victory garden. My passion for fresh fruits and vegetables certainly comes from eating strawberries hot in the sun. My parents canned rhubarb and applesauce; those are very pleasant

O

Hudson Valley Garlic Festival in Saugerties this weekend

ne of the earliest signs that glorious autumn has come to upstate New York is the reappearance of the by-now-venerable Hudson Valley Garlic Festival, which returns this weekend to Cantine Field in Saugerties. The timing is perfect, as cooler weather makes laboring over a hot stove to concoct some delicious meal seem suddenly a more inviting prospect. If garlic is a favored ingredient in some of your culinary specialties, you really need to check out the amazing array of varieties, both hardneck and softneck, available for sale from the more than 50 garlic growers slated to be in attendance this year. Flavors range in subtlety from mild artichoke garlic to robust rocambole to pungent silverskin types. Even the imaginative variety names evoke an international spectrum of tastes: Here you can find Northern Star, Spanish Roja, Canadian Music, Temptress, Foxy, Porcelain, Turban, Pskem, Bogstyr, Ceznok Red, Persian Star, Brown Tempest, Carpathian Mahogany, Killarney Red, Ukrainian Wild Buff, Elmer’s Top Set, Unadilla Double Coil, Siberian Fire, Vietnamese Purple Stripe, Transylvanian, Summit Shock and even Nirvana Weird. Take home a selection to try out in your own kitchen, or maybe even to grow in your own garden. Advice on how to cultivate a superior crop will be provided by garlic-growing experts David Stern, Bob Dunkel, Tony Sarmiento, Crystal Stewart, Bob Yerina and Skip Arthur. Chefs Ric Orlando, Pat Crocker, Alessandro Maestro and Noah Sheetz will demonstrate the finer points of cooking with one of nature’s most mouthwatering gifts. Or you can spend the day noshing your way through a startling selection of garlicflavored foods, from beloved standbys to the decidedly counterintuitive. If you’ve never tried garlic soup, garlic fried dough, garlic crabcakes, garlic pretzels, garlic corn-on-the-cob, garlic chili, deep-fried garlic pickles or garlic-flavored chocolates and caramels, this is the place to find them. And yes, Guido’s famous garlic ice cream will be back. The festival includes plenty of activities for kids, including a performance of Turtle Island Medicine Show by Saugerties’ resident Arm-of-the-Sea Theater, and One World Puppetry & Performance Art will bring the Garlic Giant and his friend the Garlic Fairy to wander the grounds. The Garlic Festival is one of the few venues in the Hudson Valley where you can see live Morris dancers, pounding their staves, whirling their handkerchiefs and jingling their belled harnesses in a pre-Christian celebration of the harvest that dates back to at least the 15th century (and probably much earlier). Onstage, continuous live music will be provided by Mike + Ruthy, Captain Squeeze and the Zydeco Moshers, Annie and the Hedonists, the Homegrown String Band, Sundad, Mark Rust, the NY Country Band and the fabulous world music ensemble Passero. The Hudson Valley Garlic Festival opens at 10 a.m. both Saturday and Sunday,

early memories that I have,” Waters says. And, while it’s hard to imagine Alice Waters meeting a fruit or vegetable she didn’t like, that wasn’t always the case. “Well, I didn’t like a lot of vegetables, because my mother wasn’t a great cook. She had these four children, and they didn’t have much money; and so she got sold, like everybody else, that frozen or canned vegetables were where it was at. So I don’t think I really ate string beans or asparagus or any of those things when they were cooked properly – not broccoli, not any of them. The closest was probably green beans, because they were frozen: a little overcooked, but edible,” she says. It was a much different style of cooking and eating from what Waters encountered while studying abroad in France, where everyone took baskets to market daily to pick out the best, freshest produce available. Back in California, that principle would one day become the guiding force of Chez Panisse. “The US is a county that’s been educated by a vast food culture,” she says. “We didn’t have deep enough roots in agriculture or in gastronomy, and so when [fast food corporations] came in, it was easy for them to teach us what is of value and what

And I mean “fruits,” literally: What were my successes, what were my failures and what do future seasons hold? To many people – to too many people – “fruit” means apples, the equivalence having deep roots, since pomum is Latin for both apple and fruit. My apple crop this year, whether measured in pounds or number of fruits, is zero. Among my excuses are the wrong rootstock for the site, trees still recovering from last year’s onslaught of 17-year cicada egg-laying, apples’ pest problems making them among the most difficult fruits to grow east of the Rocky Mountains and my low-lying valley location and surrounding forests further exacerbating pest problems. Still, the rich flavor of the apples– when I do get some– keeps me trying. Next year I’m replanting with five new trees: Hudson’s Golden Gem,

Macoun, Ashmead’s Kernel, Pitmaston Pineapple and Liberty, all on Geneva 30 rootstocks. This year, I welcomed the time not needed in caring for the trees. Pears did surprisingly well considering the extensive cicada damage that they also endured. But pears always do well – especially the Asian pears. The challenge with European pears is ripening them to perfection. They need to be picked before they are ripe, chilled for a couple of weeks if they are an early-maturing variety, then ripened in a cool room. As soon as the first fruits drop, I keep an eye out for a slight change in skin color for those fruits still hanging from branches, then take them if they separate with an easy snap when lifted and twisted from the branch. Despite being relatively easy to grow, pears are underappreciated as garden fruit – these days, at least. One hundred and fifty years ago, you might have perused 70 varieties in a nursery catalog; 100 years ago, perhaps 30 varieties; in today’s catalogues, I count a dozen or so varieties. Not all my two dozen or so varieties are bearing yet. So far, the best of the lot are

the buttery-sweet Magness and spicy Seckel. But let me get back to my failures – get them out of the way. Hardy kiwifruits, both Actinidia arguta and A. kolomikta, had uncharacteristically light crops. The same goes for pawpaws, whose branches have, except for this fall, every year been weighted down with a heavy load of fruit, some branches even breaking. It’s most convenient to point my finger at the weather, the winter cold, for barren kiwi vines and pawpaw trees. Not that it was as cold as many past winters, but it did stay cold for longer periods. The gooseberry crop looked very promising until late June, which is when my chickens discovered them (or remembered where they were). Gooseberries are usually very reliable, so I’m optimistic about the future of eating berries from the two dozen or so dessert varieties that I grow. I downsized my flock from seven to three chickens (and added two ducks), and plan to erect temporary fencing during the few weeks that the berries ripen in future years. Big crops presented themselves, as usual, on various mulberry varieties and gumi. Birds swooped in to gobble them up. Last year, with all the cicadas to feed on, birds ignored both these fruits. Geraldi Dwarf mulberry grows only a few feet high, so I’ll throw a net over it next year and let birds enjoy the other mulberry varieties, if they so choose. Enough talk about failures. On to successes: Blueberries, my favorite and most reliable fruit, bore in abundance, as always. Sixteen bushes; about 150 quarts. Mmmmm. Rain earlier in the season threatened

grapes with disease. I enclosed about 75 bunches in white bakery bags, stapled shut, to fend off bees and wasps, diseases and birds. The crop was in such abundance that harvest has been aplenty even from unbagged bunches. Actually, too “aplenty” from the variety Swenson’s Red, causing individual berries in bunches to ripen unevenly. Next year, I’ll prune more severely, sacrificing total yield while increasing quality and even ripening of fruits that remain. Once unbagged grapes of a given variety have been harvested and eaten, we move on to the bagged grapes of that variety. Peeling back the white paper has generally revealed bunches that look perfect and taste delectable. Particularly tasty this year have been Glenora Seedless, Somerset Seedless, Mars, Swenson’s White and Brianna. And finally, another of my nofail, no-spray, no-prune fruits: American persimmon, specifically the varieties Mohler and Szukis. Mohler has been ripening for about a month, dropping a dozen or so fruits daily, which I pick up from the ground. My ducks are especially fond of these fruits, and waddle, staring longingly within, around the outside perimeter of the low temporary fence that keeps them at bay. (They do get to eat fruits that drop beyond the fence.) The soft fruits taste like dried apricots that have been plumped in water, dipped in honey and given a dash of spice. Mohler and Szukis are almost totally lacking in the puckery astringency common to many American persimmons. To remove any last traces of astringency, I subject fruits to a treatment used in Japan with Asian persimmons: alcohol. Freshly harvested fruits go into a bowl with a tablespoon of rye (locally made Coppersea Raw Rye), covered, for a day. The alcohol finishes ripening the fruits, keeps fruit flies at bay and adds a nice punch to the flavor. Too many people shy away from growing fruits because they are perceived as too difficult to grow. They can be – or not. Success comes from choosing the right fruits to grow, looking beyond apples, peaches, cherries and the other usual fare. Success also comes from growing a wide variety fruits. This year’s apple and gooseberry failures are hardly noticed with the abundance of blueberries, persimmons and pears. And did I mention European blackcurrants, red currants and strawberries? – Lee Reich Any gardening questions?

Cauliflower Festival in Margaretville

ALMANAC WEEKLY

September 25, 2014

ike other much-maligned members of the cabbage family, the humble cauliflower tends to go underappreciated nowadays. Mark Twain famously wrote, in Pudd’nhead Wilson, that “a cauliflower is nothing but a cabbage with a college education,” perhaps inspired by the white brassica’s resemblance to the human brain. Fans of the 1960s TV vampire Zacherley may fondly remember the Chiller Theater host performing simulated brain surgery with a cleaver on an unfortunate cauliflower in between movie segments, but many kids who grew up in that era of canned or overboiled veggies still think of it merely as one of their least-favorite foods. This is unfortunate, because cauliflower properly prepared can be sublime. I know a cream-of-cauliflower soup recipe so sinfully rich and flavorful that my exhusband claimed to have married me for it, and it’s my ace-in-the-hole for luring my son home for a taste of Mom’s cooking during college breaks. Cauliflower actually lends itself to all sorts of elegant dishes,

and was reputedly a favorite at the table of King Louis XIV. For more than 50 years beginning in the 1890s, the town of Margaretville was the epicenter of the cauliflower industry in the US, supplying an appreciative market of New York City gourmets before California farms eventually took over. It was a vital component of the Catskills economy for decades, so it seems appropriate that the Central Catskills Chamber of Commerce should pay homage to broccoli’s albino cousin each year around this time. The Cauliflower Festival returns to Margaretville on Saturday, September 27 for its 11th annual visitation, “celebrating farming, cooking and culture in the past, present and future of the Catskill Mountains.” The festival runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Village of Margaretville Pavilion, located behind the supermarket on Bridge Street. Predictably enough, you’ll find fresh cauliflower for sale by the bushel, amateur chefs vying for prizes with their best cauliflower recipes and a tent sponsored by the Town of Middletown

Historical Society depicting the history of the local cauliflower industry. Food vendors will tempt you with a variety of tasty treats, including cauliflower soup. There will be an arts-and-crafts tent where you can get an early start on your Christmas shopping, and plenty of other area businesses will have booths and tables set up to hawk their wares. Much of the emphasis of the Cauliflower Festival is on entertaining that most notoriously cole-crops-averse demographic segment, young children. Kids’ and family activities will include hayrides, pony rides, barrel train rides, a rescue animal petting zoo, face-painting and hands-on craft activities. The Tractor Parade that circles the fairgrounds at 11:30 a.m. will end with opportunities for tots to have their pictures taken sitting at the wheel of a tractor. A haybaling demonstration at 2:30 p.m. at neighboring Davis Farm should also be fun for the kids. School-age youngsters should enjoy the Stream Table exhibit being set up by the Delaware County Soil and Water Conservation District. It’s just one of many environmental-themed offerings, with the Catskill Center, Catskill Mountainkeeper, Catskill Forest Association and several alternative energy and green homebuilding vendors scheduled to attend. The Watershed Agricultural Council, celebrating its tenth anniversary, will sponsor a farmers’ market featuring partners in the Pure Catskills best-practices program. Finally, it wouldn’t be a festival without live music. At 1 p.m., Jason Starr will perform songs in the spirit of Pete

XUV625i

Seeger and Woody Guthrie and encourage audiences to sing along. At 12 noon and 2 p.m., Mike Herman and the Catskill Mountain Boys will play fiddle music to accompany square dancing in the pavilion. Admission to the Cauliflower Festival is free; some children’s activities charge a nominal fee.

Author-guided geology tour at Olana The Olana Partnership will present “A Tour of Olana’s Geological Landscape” with professor Robert Titus on Sunday, September 28 from 1 to 3 p.m. The walking tour will start on Olana’s east lawn. Participants will learn about the bedrock geological history of Olana and the forces that shaped the landscape at Olana. Titus and his wife Johanna are the authors of The Hudson Valley in the Ice Age: A Geological History and Tour. Registration for the tour is requested but not required. The cost is $10. There is also a $5 entrance fee that is deducted from the price of one house tour ticket. The Olana State Historic Site is located at 5720 Route 9G in Hudson.

f the Ava Luna and Celestial Shore show at BSP on September 27 says anything definitive about the new indie guitar-rock, it is this: Musical complexity and formidable intellectual challenge are back, and the kids dig it, baby, within reason – some of them. In their own more street-level way, these two fabulous, prolific and very serious Brooklyn bands share an aesthetic universe with such breakout stars of you-can’t-do-this BK art-rock and soul as Dirty Projectors, Grizzly Bear and St. Vincent. Celestial Shore is the more overtly proggy, dreamy and psychedelic; Ava Luna plays the part of art-groovers and brainy soul-appropriators. Both are so

Oh, stop being like that, then. Please. Make more room under Heaven for everything that anyone might dream up. Plus, these are two pretty good pop bands, too. On Electric Balloon (2014, Western Vinyl), Ava Luna refines, streamlines and commits more than ever to their edgy, abrasive-but-sophisticated postPrince soul aesthetic. The digressive, arty restlessness of past records has been tamed some, but not entirely domesticated by any means, and they remain as ever commanders of a really beautiful harmonic sense in which a default tense funk dissonance can go Stevie at any moment – and even a little Steely Dan, with no reason to be ashamed about that. The big change on Electric Balloon is that this dynamic band has finally released an album that gets in your face and under your skin with its biting sounds and nervous groove in the way their live shows always have. On “Creation Myth,” the accurately named Celestial Shore’s pre-release single in advance of the impending fulllength Enter Ghost (due October 14 on Hometapes), the band unveils a punkier, snarkier side, yoked to an odd-phrased ambiguous melody that is not far off from Kevin Barnes in guitar-rock mode.

But no; the last two-and-ahalf minutes are occupied by a quavering, scintillating psychedelic freakout that could go on another five minutes with no real complaints. The extended outro also illustrates another longstanding Cool Fact about Celestial Shores: The lead instrument in this band is drums.

The Both play Bearsville The Both is the new project of two great and prolific American songwriters: Aimee Mann and Ted Leo. After leaving Til Tuesday, Mann began a long and fruitful solo career that was as famous, for a time, for its mismanagement at the hands of the labels as for its unfailing quality and substance. Leo (and his band Ted Leo and the Pharmacists) came more from a punk background, but it was always a punk schooled in the wit and musical intelligence of (Mann collaborator) Elvis Costello. So the Both is not such an odd pair after all.

OROD with Mark Ormerod plays the Falcon

Guitarist Mark Ormerod has been making the scene in New Paltz for what seems like about half of forever now. A Swiss Army knife of a player who moves effortlessly between blues and its jazzier variants, funk and soul, acoustic rag, psychedelic and hi-fidelity tribute playing to whichever axe legend or classic band you please, Ormerod’s supple, tuneful, low-ego playing might leave locals wondering why this veteran cat is not a bit higher-profile on the regional guitar radar. Well, maybe his essential modesty and the way that he privileges ensemble musical values over ego are part of the issue here? Ormerod is on the eve of releasing OROD, the eponymous debut album by his instrumental and (accurately) self-described soul/rock quartet, which features his longtime bandmates Mark Beaumont and Robert Kemp on bass and drums, respectively, and a hell of foil in Orange County keyboard whiz Jeremy Baum. On paper, instrumental soul/rock just screams solos, solos, solos – and then, perhaps, if you’re in the mood, another solo. While OROD has its fair share of hot leads, including a satisfying serving of typically elegant and understated Hammond flights by the gifted Baum, the point of OROD resides elsewhere, in its deep commitment to riffs, grooves and single-effect ensemble statements. To get down with this, you are going to have to give yourself over to the background-in-search-of-foreground, something-might-be-missing-here aesthetic of instrumental rock. Once you have stopped waiting for Anthony Kiedes to show up with a spiel to slather atop such modern funk/rock workouts as “Show Me Somethin’” and the bluesier “Head 4,” you have begun to get the message: The riff is

Melissa McGill’s Palmas at Manitoga Manitoga in Garrison, also known as the Russell Wright Design Center, is the former home of a significant 20thcentury industrial designer. Under the Artist Melissa McGill at Manitoga’s Quarry Pool “composing� score for Palmas stewardship of Dan Rigney, Manitoga is now emerging as the site of elaborate, high-concept multimedia performance and environmental music: art-as-place and place-as-art. In May, the conceptual artist Melissa McGill opened her site-specific sound installation Palmas at Manitoga. McGill’s surround-sound installation makes use of Manitoga’s Quarry Pool and encircling paths, with music occurring at timed intervals as audience members tour the grounds. The work takes its name from the improvised, rhythmic clapping that is an integral part of flamenco music. McGill has been exhibiting her artwork internationally since 1991, including solo exhibitions at White Cube in London, Power House in Memphis and CRG Gallery in New York, where she is represented in the US. She is a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design. Her work involves an interdisciplinary process primarily incorporating drawing, sculpture and sound. Now, on September 27, McGill’s Palmas culminates in an elaborate performance that extends the flamenco-themed installation and includes live performers making use of all the features, idiosyncrasies and personality of the Manitoga grounds. Palmas performers include dancers, singers and musicians performing on a special stage in the quarry itself, and amplified and strategy spots throughout the grounds. Two outdoor performances will take place at Manitoga on Saturday, September 27: a Family & Friends Performance at 1 p.m. ($45/$35 for Manitoga members) and a Benefit Performance ($500/$125) at 4 p.m. The rain date is Sunday September 28 at 1 and 4 p.m. Tickets are available through www.brownpapertickets.com.

the thing, the great rainbow of riff. OROD makes that adjustment easier by demonstrating such fluent command of so many modes of riffage and so many organic grooves. Many of the tracks here are straight-up, smoldering groove-blues, which these guys handle with ease and effervescence; but they go places, too. My favorites here all have a bit of a wink or a sneer in their intent: The Booker T-tinged spooky rock of the album-opening “El Bandito,� the ultracool slabby modern rock of “No Deal,� the cheeky garage Latin of “Come with Me Tonight,� the outrageous Gilmouresque sheets of guitar on “Supercharged.� OROD is an album of strong, definitive compositional moves and joyous, egoless playing. The vibe is democratic, fraternal, together: meat and butter and bread and potatoes, ultimately cooked into something more exotic and singular than you might think upon first spin (spin being an important word, as OROD is available in a limited vinyl release). You don’t even have to ask how it plays live. It was born there and thrives there. What may surprise you is how well it plays on record. – John Burdick OROD record release show with Rev.

Hudson Valley Philharmonic to open season at Bardavon with Mahler’s Fifth Symphony

Last April the Hudson Valley Philharmonic (HVP) presented one of its most ambitious projects ever, a performance of Mahler’s Symphony No. 2, the Resurrection, with augmented orchestra, large chorus and orchestra. This season the HVP opens on October 5 with another Mahler symphony, the Fifth. Music director Randall Craig Fleischer explains, “It was the full emotional and sonic impact that drew me to include more Mahler. We’re really trying to define ourselves and exactly why people come to the symphony. Mahler’s emotive style and the sheer size of his symphonies grab our audience in the gut right out of the gate.� Many performances of Mahler 5, which lasts well over an hour, occupy an entire concert program. Fleischer decided to add two shorter works. Beethoven’s Egmont Overture is a great opener. But audiences are unfamiliar with the Trombone Concerto of Nino Rota – or, for that matter, with Rota himself. He was best-known for his more than 150 film scores, mostly for Italian films (he was a favorite of Fellini and Visconti) but also for The Godfather. (He also wrote ten operas and many orchestral works.) “We try to feature an HVP musician playing

Cross-fertilization for the ears Marty Ehrlich, John Hollenbeck, Badal Roy & Steve G orn headline Creative Music Studio concert series in Big Indian

F

olks who remember the Creative Music Studio (CMS) in Woodstock in the heady days of the 1970s and ’80s must be pleased to know that the seminal think tank/teaching institute that coined the term “worldjazz” is thriving as more than just an archive of hundreds of historically important recording sessions. Co-founders Karl Berger and Ingrid Sertso are presenting workshop-style concerts that are open to the public. The next series takes place from Monday, September 29 through Thursday, October 2, in the intimate Roadhouse space at the Full Moon Resort in Big Indian. When Berger, Sertso and free-jazz saxophone pioneer Ornette Coleman put their heads together to create CMS in 1971, the idea was to provide a place where innovators in both jazz and world music could come together to jam in an effort to tease out the strands of commonality that underlie all musical forms and styles, similar to the way that cognitive scientists and psycholinguists postChomsky delve into the human mind seeking the universal roots of grammar. It was an experiential and philosophical exploration emphasizing “keen awareness, personal expression, intensive listening and cross-cultural communication.” CMS’s physical headquarters closed in 1984, but during those 13 fertile years, the entity – now incorporated as a not-for-profit foundation – recruited an impressive roster of cutting-edge musical thinkers to collaborate in giving thousands of master classes, workshops, seminars and colloquia in Woodstock and around the world. More than 400 live concerts were committed to tape, and in recent years Berger has been kept busy working to digitize them for posterity in a collection housed at Columbia University. But working musicians and listeners alike must really have missed the live sessions, because the workshops are happening again, in the spring and fall. Headlining this week’s series of four concerts are two luminaries of avant-garde jazz: drummer/ composer/arranger John Hollenbeck and saxophonist/clarinetist/flautist/composer Marty Ehrlich. Joining them in the ethnically omnivorous CMS spirit are Badal Roy, a tabla master known for his willingness to depart from the highly structured traditional Indian rhythmic system, and the mid-Hudson’s own virtuoso of the bansuri flute, Steve Gorn.

a concerto every couple of years,” says Fleischer. “Brad Ward suggested the Rota Concerto. It’s a beautiful Romantic Era piece and a wonderful showcase. Brad certainly deserves the opportunity.” Fleischer had a busy summer, conducting in the Czech Republic and in San Diego, Hartford and Youngstown

and making pops arrangements. Now he can settle down to his usual schedule of conducting three orchestras: the HVP, Anchorage Symphony and Youngstown Symphony. Tickets to the HVP’s season opening concert on Sunday, October 5 at 3 p.m. at the Bardavon 1869 Opera House cost $32

On Tuesday, September 30, Hollenbeck on drums, Gorn on Indian flutes, Roy on tabla and Kenny Wessel on guitar will join the teaching core (dubbed “guiding artists” by CMS) of Berger, Sertso, Knuffke, Smith and Filiano. Wednesday, October 1 will add Ehrlich on reeds and Omar Tamez on guitar to the previous mix. The lineup for Thursday, October 2 will be pared down slightly, including Ehrlich, Hollenbeck, Roy, Tamez, Wessel, Filiano, Knuffke, Sertso and Berger. Vocalist Theo Bleckmann has been added to the teaching roster. The Fall Workshop is also a residential music camp whose intensive daytime learning sessions differ from the usual conception of “master classes” in that they are not geared solely to musicians whose proficiency is at or near a professional level. “Musicians of any instrument, including voice, are welcome, as are non-musicians,” says the CMS website. “Adults who played music earlier in their lives can benefit from this lifelong learning opportunity” – a category that includes an awful lot of people who practiced an instrument all through their middle, high school and maybe even college years, only to drop it regretfully once adult life got too busy. All that is required to join the “orchestra of improvisers” is a desire to share what the Creative Music Foundation’s mission statement calls “our deep connection with the transforming energies of music” – and of course the ability to pay the cost of tuition, meals and lodging, which ranges from $695 for tent camping to $1,595 to a single-occupancy room with private bath. For more information about how to sign up for the Fall Workshop, visit www. creativemusicfoundation.org/fallworkshop2014.html. Admission to each of the evening concerts is by a $20 donation to CMS, collected at the door. – Frances Marion Platt Creative Music Studio Fall Workshop concerts, Monday-Thursday, September 29-October 2, 8:30 p.m., $20, Full Moon Resort, 1 Valley View Road, Big Indian; (845) 254-5117, www.creativemusicfoundation.org/cms-workshop-concerts-public. html.

Dan Tepfer performs Bach’s Goldberg Variations at Doctorow Center in Hunter When the young French-American jazz pianist Dan Tepfer brought his version of Bach’s Goldberg Variations to the Jazz at the Maverick series in Woodstock last year, this critic viewed the coming event with skepticism. That was before I heard it, and because I hadn’t heard Tepfer’s recording of the music from 2011. The most immediately surprising element of Tepfer’s performance was that he ac-

tually played Bach’s music – all of it – and that he played it very well. If it had just been a straight Bach performance, it would have been completely satisfying. After each variation, though, Tepfer played an improvisation on Bach’s music. This is actually in accordance with the tradition of Bach’s time, when repeats would be highly altered and embellished in the performer’s own improvisations. Tepfer didn’t attempt to improvise in Bach’s style. What he played was jazz. But it was excellent, intelligent jazz, and didn’t sound silly, the way most jazz versions of Bach sound to these ears. Tepfer grew up in France, but his parents were Americans, and he now lives in Brooklyn. “I grew up bilingual, raised in France by an American family,” says Tepfer, “which may explain why I’ve always been much more attached to context than to form, more concerned with what’s being said than the language in which it’s being expressed. As a result, I’ve grown increasingly drawn to exploring different means of expression

for my music in order to further isolate the message from the medium.” Since each Tepfer performance of the Goldberg Variations is different, his playing at the Doctorow Center in Hunter on Saturday, October 4 won’t replicate the exact performance that he gave in Woodstock. But it’s a good bet that it will be just as involving and entertaining. Tickets purchased ahead (by 3 p.m. on October 4) cost $25 general admission, $20 for seniors and $7 for students. Tickets purchased at the door cost $30 general admission, $25 for seniors and $7 students. – Leslie Gerber Dan Tepfer plays Goldberg Variations, Saturday, October 4, 8 p.m., $30/$25/$20/$7, Doctorow Center for the Arts, 7971 Main Street, Hunter; (518) 263-2000, www.catskillmtn.org/events.

Big Sandy & His Fly-Rite Boys in Hudson Big Sandy and His Fly-Rite Boys, who play Helsinki Hudson on Friday night, September 26, started off in the

late 1980s in what some consider the third wave of rockabilly (following the Burritos/Dave Edmunds phenomenon and Stray Cats/Robert Gordon/Blasters explosion), but they found their own legs diving back into Western swing and country boogie beyond the classic Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis hits of the late 1950s. The result has been decades of infectious records and fun live events whenever they get out of their native California. – Paul Smart Big Sandy & His Fly-Rite Boys, Friday, September 26, 9 p.m., Helsinki Hudson, 405 Columbia Street, Hudson; (518) 8284800, www.helsinkihudson.com.

D

on’t wait until the movies that you most wanted to see at the 2014 Woodstock Film Festival are already sold out. Tickets are on sale right now, and can be ordered online at www.woodstockfilmfestival.com. This year’s festival runs from Wednesday through Sunday, October 15 to 19, at a variety of venues in Woodstock, Rhinebeck, Kingston, Saugerties and Rosendale. New to the roster this year are the Regal Cinemas in Kingston, which should broaden the festival’s audience considerably. As of presstime, the opening and closing night offerings – which typically involve big-name stars or directors and tend to sell out quickly – had not yet been announced. But excitement is already building over a visit to Woodstock by South African jazz legend Hugh Masekela, who’s still touring like a fiend at age 75. His music is featured in Michael Lessac’s feature documentary A Snake Gives Birth to a Snake, which is making its US premiere at this year’s festival. It will screen on Friday at the Woodstock Playhouse and on Sunday at Upstate Films in Rhinebeck. Both Masekela and Lessac will also participate in a panel discussion on Friday at the Kleinert/James Art Center titled “Music as the Unifying Force.” Another music-related documentary sure to sell out is the Wednesday world premiere of Erez Miller and Henrique Cymerman’s East Jerusalem/West Jerusalem, which will be followed by a live performance by Steve Earle and the movie’s star, Israeli singer/songwriter/ activist David Broza. Woodstock filmmaker and jazz historian Burrill Crohn’s Playing with Parkinson’s, about Sangeeta Michael Berardi’s struggle to go on playing in spite of debilitating illness, is also a world

premiere with a musical theme. Films that are produced in the Hudson Valley are another area where the festival concentrates much of its energies. Caryn Waechter’s The Sisterhood of Night, a story of friendship and loyalty set against the backdrop of a modern-day Salem witch trial that was shot on location in Kingston, is billed as the festival’s “Centerpiece Film.” Two biopics, Chuck Workman’s Magician: The Astonishing Life and Work of Orson Welles, and Emmy-winner Ric Burns’s Enquiring Minds: The Untold Story of the Man behind the National Enquirer, seem likely to generate a lot of interest, along with Jon Bowermaster’s environmental travelogue Antarctica 3D: On the Edge.

Da Vinci versus da Mafia My Two Italies author Joseph Luzzi talks at Upstate Films in Rhinebeck & Italian Center in Poughkeepsie

“O

n one hand, there is this romanticized notion of Italy,” says Joseph Luzzi, professor of Italian at Bard College and author of the recently published My Two Italies. “It’s a place where you go for the Tuscan sun, to fall in love; an antidote to a modern world’s problems. On the other hand, you have The Sopranos and Jersey Shore, the glamorization of violence and some of the more negative stereotypes associated with Italian-Americans. How are they connected? That’s one of the questions I asked myself when I started the book.” Luzzi will be at the Italian Center in Poughkeepsie on Thursday, October 2 at 7 p.m. to do an author talk and book-signing presented by Noi Italiani D’Oggi (NIDO) – “We Italians of Today” – a nonprofit Italian-American organization that promotes Italian culture and language. Copies of My Two Italies (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, July 2014) will be available for purchase at the event, which is free and open to the public. Luzzi will also appear at Upstate Films in Rhinebeck on Sunday, September 28 at 1:30 p.m. to present film clips and a discussion on classic Italian cinema. Tickets for the fundraising event cost $35, which includes a glass of wine and hors d’oeuvres at the Market St. Restaurant afterward (where the discussion will continue) and a signed copy of My Two Italies. The title of the book refers to the contrast between the earthy immigrant world of Luzzi’s family – Calabrians from southern Italy who brought with them their folk culture and traditions – and the “high” cultural riches of the northern region that he has devoted his adult life to studying, teaching and writing about. “In a way, I grew up not in an Italian-American household, but in an Italian and American household,” he says. “My parents were deeply connected to the place they had left; they spoke the Calabrian dialect at home and they raised animals and grew their own food, just as they had in Calabria.” After a junior year abroad in Florence – an experience that he says left a lifelong impression – Luzzi decided to combine his love of literature with his desire to know more about his Italian background in a career as a professor of Italian language, literature, film and art. When he first began writing My Two Italies, it was intended to be about life in present-day Italy, especially the years after former Prime Minister Berlusconi resigned in 2011. “I was going to use my perspective as a scholar to sort of animate the broader issues in contemporary Italian life. Italy is a country of great regional differences and strong local identities that don’t always harmonize smoothly; the local is often in conflict with the national. So the plan was to write that kind of book and use my family’s history as a kind of added vignette to this broader look at life in Italy. But as I started to write, the personal started to take over. It became much more personal and became more of a memoir.” But My Two Italies is a cultural history as much as it is a memoir, he says. “There’s nothing in the book about me personally or about my family that also isn’t somehow about broader issues in Italian-American culture. By the same token, there’s nothing about Italy, Italian-Americans or Italian culture and history that also isn’t somehow deeply personal.” For example, “Dante had talked about Italy’s need for a common language – that it needed linguistic unification before it could have political and cultural unification – and I saw that in my own family, who considered themselves Calabrians first, before they were Italian.” And how does one reconcile the perceptual divide between da Vinci at one extreme to Tony Soprano at the other? According to Luzzi, Italian-American culture dates back to a particular historical moment. “Most of the Italian-Americans immigrated

with élan for years now, and raises the bar considerably with screenings of two true classics not usually matched together: Dziga Vertov’s still-fresh and revolutionary Man with a Movie Camera, from 1929, dives into the fullness of Russian life at the time with a fast-edited silent sense of all-encompassing embrace set to a bracing internal rhythm (and original live accompaniment). And then, presented in a single screening, will be Alfred Hitchcock’s Technicolor heartbreak of a yarn, Marnie: all about beauty, psychosis, love and theft, with a noted film historian on hand to draw out its various depths and continuing mysteries. Vertov’s work of genius will be accompanied by original music composed and performed live by musicians Claudia Bruce, Bryce Courbois and Ogden Courbois. Marnie, starring Hitchcock obsession Tippi Hedren (and Sean Connery), was billed at the time of its 1964 release as “a suspenseful sex mystery.” It will be discussed and given exegesis by film and stage actor, writer and producer John Epperson, best-known for his Lypsinka persona. The Marnie evening at TSL begins with wine and hors d’oeuvres at 7 p.m.,

Epperson’s introduction to the screening of Marnie and a post-screening lecture, presentation and discussion with sweets. – Paul Smart Dziga Vertov’s Man with a Movie Camera screening, Thursday/Friday, October 2/3, 8 p.m., Alfred Hitchcock’s Marnie screening & discussion with John Epperson, Saturday, October 4, 7 p.m., TSL Warehouse, 434 Columbia Street, Hudson; (518) 822-8448, www.timeandspace.org.

Author & Bard professor Joseph Luzzi

to the United States after Italian unification in 1861, at a time when there was a great deal of poverty and social unrest in southern Italy. Most of those who came here were from the southern region, and tended to be poor, as my family was, and tended to identify with their local region, as my family did. A lot of them were uneducated and had not had access to the cultural riches in the north because of difficult socioeconomic conditions. So I think what the immigrants brought with them was this rich, vibrant local culture that was kind of a world apart from the world of Dante and Michelangelo that had not been a part of their lives in Italy. When they came here, they perpetuated another equally rich version of Italian culture, but something more folkloric – something outside of the academy, outside of the museum.” And the emphasis on family above all else? “The family is definitely important in all of Italy, but certainly the southern Italians brought with them an extremely strong sense of family. The virtue of family and what family means in a deep sense is so much a part of being Italian, and I think especially so for many southern Italians. They relied on their families to survive in really difficult economic conditions and times of great scarcity. Your family was not only your main source of support; for many, it was all they knew. Many poor southern Italians didn’t travel; they spent their lives in the same village they were born in, and their family was their universe.” Writing the book helped him see his parents’ lives as the people they had been in Italy, says Luzzi, not just as his parents. “I realized that, like so many immigrants, they gave up all they knew and loved to give their children a better life. It was a profound lesson to see what exile is – what their self-exile, in a sense, had entailed for them. And it is personal, it is a memoir; but so many American families have stories of immigration in their background, people giving up their lives so that future generations can build a life here in the United States. My hope is that it resonates way beyond the personal to connect with these bigger issues that so many people have faced.” – Sharyn Flanagan My Two Italies author talk with Joseph Luzzi, Thursday, October 2, 7 p.m., free, Italian Center, 227 Mill Street, Poughkeepsie; (845) 454-1492, www.theitaliancenter.com.

PAT OLESZKO, THE GUGGENHEIM-WINNING MULTIMEDIA ARTIST, has “been making a spectacle of herself and using the world as a stooge since the 1960s”

Walk on the wild side Pat Oleszko presents performance art in Cottekill church and on Rosendale trestle

C

onsider it Pat Oleszko month up. The artist-inresidence at Women’s Studio Workshop (WSW) has had an exhibit up in the currently expanding arts center for several weeks now, and has been busy constructing a site-specific installation for the nearby Wallkill Valley Rail Trail, now including the Rosendale railroad trestle. The Guggenheim-winning multimedia artist, who has “been making a spectacle of herself and using the world as a stooge since the 1960s,” will lead walks, give performances, unveil new works and host a special event this Saturday afternoon, September 27, at her working space in a WSW-managed church project space in Cottekill. Inspired by the location and her recent entry into the Kingston Artists’ Soapbox Derby, Oleszko’s Bride’s Heads Revisited: Jest Merried will be a faux wedding party with group photo involving all who come. The following Saturday afternoon, October 4, the artist is inviting the public to participate in The Would/Lands: Walk on the Wild Side, an “opening procession” and installation along the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail involving a “dressing up” of the involved natural surroundings, a “SWAT team of poseurs and soundmakers” and some tomfoolery off the concept and reality of fall colors. It all promises to be wild. – Paul Smart Pat Oleszko, Bride’s Heads Revisited, Saturday, September 27, 2-5 p.m., free, Women’s Studio Workshop’s CHRCH Project Space, 167 Cottekill Road, Cot-

Sunday is Cole House Community Day in Catskill Imagine a garden that never has a bad day: daffodils blooming in spring, roses midsummer, asters in fall; a beautiful progression of bloom, where weeds are banished through careful attention. Actually, you don’t need to imagine it; you can find it at the Thomas Cole National Historic Site on Spring Street in Catskill. The gardens are recreations of those enjoyed by Cole during his life at Cedar Grove in the early 1800s. The artist is now regarded as the father of American landscape painting and founder of America’s first art movement, the Hudson River School. Local resident and master gardener Robin Smith began the project of restoring these old gardens in 2002 as a labor of love. Working alone and with other volunteers, she has taken care of many aspects of the grounds ever since.

Smith will retire from these duties at the end of the growing season. She also served on the Cole House Board of Trustees from 2006 to 2012.

“The Other Side” on view at Catskill Gallery Who doesn’t know someone in recovery? It’s an element of modern life, if not always spoken about in public. Addictions lurk for us everywhere. We’ve had many a leader who has gained strength from his or her battles in this arena; and as a nation and culture, we’ve risen through such challenges. But how does it all look when given a public face? A exhibit by the Greene County Council on the Arts, at its own Catskill Gallery this month, explores the world of recovery with a stark, haunting, evocative mix of tones that in the end demonstrates the breadth of experience that exists for all who have faced and overcome, or still battle with, addictions of many sorts. “The Other Side,” as this groundbreaking show is called, faced its own challenges coming together, as those asked to be part of it by sharing their art work wrestled with threats to their treasured anonymity. But what has resulted is courageous, emotionally redolent and even fun in places. Among the featured works is a series of portraits of recovering addicts by photojournalist Kyle Adams, working in partnership with Twin Counties Recovery Services, sculptor/ musician Harry Matthews and a wide range of others working in a variety of media. It coincides with the 25th year of National Recovery Month, dedicated to the normalizing of addiction recovery endeavors. – Paul Smart “The Other Side,” through October 4, Greene County Council for the Arts, 398 Main Street, Catskill; (518) 943-3400, www.greenearts.org.

“STAMP” ON VIEW AT MAD DOOLEY GALLERY IN BEACON

B

eacon had a mess of galleries years ago, when Dia came to town; and then many slipped away as the town and its long Main Street started adapting to its new role as a second-home and arts Mecca. Now it’s coming back again with new galleries and exhibits, like Mad Dooley and its great new show of stamp-inspired works by the always-effervescent Molly Rausch and Andrew Moreau. “Stamp,” which runs through October 5, is a playful extrapolation on the beauty of stamps, given heft by how each of these artists play off and with the small elements handed down to them, once, for collecting purposes. Rausch, based in New Paltz, is meanwhile fast becoming one of the region’s more enterprising artists, with an explorer’s sense of new territories in which to head off, with new discoveries (like Moreau) to bring back, along with all that she learns with which to expand her artmaking. But more on her in a future edition of Almanac Weekly. – Paul Smart

NIGHT SKY

Straight up The amazing star at the zenith

W

e’re in the final month of our clear-weather season, and this weekend the Moon is not too fat to mess up the sky. Let’s stargaze. Something very cool is overhead. Next clear night, look straight up at 9 p.m. You can even be a little sloppy and do it between 8:30 and 9:30. A single bright star sits at the zenith, not to be confused with an even-brighter star – Vega – which is high, but not truly overhead. The overhead star is Deneb. It has never been our central topic in the 40 years that this weekly column has faithfully run. But it’s worthy. Deneb is the most distant and probably the most luminous bright star in all the heavens. As if this weren’t enough to get our attention, it also marks the direction towards which we are heading in the universe. Deneb is a rare white supergiant. It shines with the same brilliance of at least 60,000 suns. And it’s huge. If we represented Deneb as a ball the size of an eight-story building, our planet Earth would be the period at the end of this sentence. There’s nothing else quite like it, because such super-big stars are almost always reddish. It’s so luminous that if it were as close to us as the nearest stars, Deneb would appear as bright as the Full Moon. Night would never get fully dark when it was out. You’ll notice that it sits right smack in the Milky Way as it forms the tail of the famous constellation Cygnus the Swan. As our galaxy rotates, Deneb lies directly ahead of us in this whirling carousel. It marks the direction of our motion. It’s like a reconnaissance scout, checking out what’s ahead of us. Traveling at 144 miles per second, our planet and the Sun would get to Deneb in about two million years if weren’t moving. However, since it too partakes of the galactic spin, it will always be flying ahead of us.

Deneb is the most distant and probably the most luminous bright star in all the heavens.

LIBRARY OF CONGRESS

Something odd has been unfolding, when it comes to trying to pin down its distance. Almost 20 years ago, the European Hipparchos astrometric satellite measured its distance as about 4,000 light-years, and other sources calculated it as distant as 7,000. At that breathtaking distance, Deneb must be, astonishingly, shining with the light of 300,000 suns in order to appear as bright as it does. But many astronomers question the Hipparchos data, and they have been revised downward. These days, nobody’s sure of Deneb’s true distance. Some say 2,500 light-years, but let’s use the stone minimum of 1,500 light-years. If so, it’s still the most distant bright star – and either the most luminous, or in a virtual tie with Rigel in Orion. Enough hairsplitting. It’s an astonishing star, and it marks the direction towards which we are all rushing: more than enough reason to look straight up at 9 p.m. – Bob Berman Want to know more?

It works like this: The Esopus Creek Conservancy (ECC) – which looks after an absolutely marvelous stretch of forest and waterfront where the long, meandering creek almost reaches the Hudson River, above a series of dramatic waterfalls in Saugerties – will provide those wishing to participate with eight-by-eightinch canvases at designated pickup locations. Artists will then create works, however they wish, that capture some facet, mood or feature of the Esopus Creek. And that includes abstractions based on the long creek’s journey. All works must be back by November 7 for a one-day sale on November 15 at Saugerties’ SebSi Studio on Main Street. Pickup and dropoff points include Lucky Chocolates, the Partition Street Wine Shop and the Dancing Tulip Floral Boutique along Partition Street in Saugerties. The finished works will be sold at $100 per piece to benefit the ECC, allowing the organization to continue its free-of-charge Kids-inNature programming at the Esopus Bend Nature Preserve and other nearby parks. For more information, call (845) 2462047 or visit www.artesopus.com. – Paul Smart

DO NOT READ THIS

unless you want to get into the habit of reading what I have to say in my ads! That’s what I’m told happens. We actually got a call from a charming lady recently who wanted to know if I was a real person. Our agent in Saugerties, reassured her that I’m real, and even the caricature kind of looks like me! I want to bring you something fresh and readable, not the same old, “We’re better than everyone else, so use us” nonsense. We want you to know that there is a real person that shares his personal thoughts and experiences with you, someone you get to know, and someone to go to if you are not receiving the quality of service you deserve.

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!! Having a Westwood expert on your team can mean the difference between a good deal and a GREAT DEAL! Armed with selling and buying strategies honed over 35 years, our agents are uniquely qualifi ed to get you to your Real Estate goal. Our winning combination of service, integrity and cutting edge technologies has resulted in decades as an industry leader. Trust your success to ours. IT WORKS!

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

(845) 679-7922 Did you know the ULSTER COUNTY SPCA has GUINEA PIGS?? HARMONY & PRECIOUS are sweet guinea pigs. They’re low maintenance, full of funny squeaks & noises, great for kids & 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. Young, fluffy female w/light brown mark-

ings; she’s shy & so sweet. Also, we’ve got more Flemish Giant Rabbits than you can shake a carrot at! We’ve got them in white, brown & black. Of course we have DOGS! Newest arrivals are KARMA & BELLE, 8-year old mixed breeds- We’d love to home these 2 playful companions together. They like to run, hike & play. Selective w/other dogs, so a house to themselves would be ideal. RAKU & KEIKO; 9-months old, these Lab mix puppies are a ball of energy & fun! 1 is brown/white, the other is black/white. They’d be great for someone who needs a hiking or running companion. MACY; beautiful 2.5-year old shepherd mix. Needs a fencedin yard to strut her stuff. The following dogs are still hoping you will meet them, fall in love & take them home; TROOPER; 2-year old mixed breed, high energy & full of love to give; 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. And last but absolutely, not least, these are some of our glorious CATS. Meet Collette, spayed 4-year old female, brown w/tiger stripes. Comida, 5-year old female w/a sad face but a happy disposition. Got a thing for cats named after fish? We’ve got Clownfish, Starfish, Suckerfish, Koi & Beta. Dolly; small & shy but once you take a chance & get to know her, you won’t regret it. Oreo, black/white like the cookie, and w/a love for lounging on the cat scratching post. SANCHO; White/ black male, neutered, very friendly, loves to find a bed & sleep the day away. TORO; Black/white neutered male w/a lion haircut. Friendly enough to earn the title of lobby cat, he’s been greeting visitors at the shelter for some time. SADE; adorable grey tabby kitten has a neurological condition which makes her a bit clumsy (aren’t we all?). She’s happy, healthy & involves no more care than any other wonderful kitty. She’s ready to go to a loving home today. Not a climber except to climb into your heart. Goosfrahbah; big boy who’s as sweet as he is handsome. White w/ beautiful tabby markings. AUSTIN; Another cat friendly enough to roam the lobby & mingle w/the public, referred to around these parts as the “lobby otter” for his outgoing personality & striking resemblance to an otter! An older gentleman, who’s neutered & great w/other cats. VICTORIA, RAVEN & HAMMERJAW are still looking for loving homes. COME SEE US and all of our other friends at the ULSTER COUNTY SPCA, 20 Wiedy Road, Kingston (off of the traffic circle). Open 6 days a week; 11:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. (closed on Mondays.) (845)331-5377.
