“T

here’s a fine line between boldness and stupidity.” So says one veteran climber in the trailer for Valley Uprising: Yosemite’s Rock Climbing Revolution, the centerpiece of the 2014 Reel Rock Film Tour, which visits climbing Meccas all over the country. It touches down in the shadow of the Gunks, naturally, as the 16th annual New Paltz Climbing Film Festival, screening at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, October 11 at the Julien J. Studley Theatre, located in the Old Main Building on the SUNY-New Paltz campus. Valley Uprising chronicles 50 years of rock climbing on the cliffs of Yosemite, which drew a motley assortment of largerthan-life characters, rivaling the notorious Vulgarians who first conquered the Gunks’ rocky vertical routes in their “extreme Bohemian” lifestyle and anti-authoritarian attitudes. Touted as “the greatest untold story of American counterculture,” the feature-length movie documents “half a century of struggle against the laws of gravity – and the laws of the land.” Ticket prices for the New Paltz Climbing Film Festival cost $17 in advance, $20 at the door. They can be purchased in advance at Rock and Snow, located at 44 Main Street in New Paltz, by calling (845) 255-1311 during store hours or online at www. rockandsnow.com/store/product/69543/2013-new-paltz-climbing-film-festival-ticket. On the day of the event, if it’s not sold out, tickets will be available between 6:30 and 7:30 p.m. in the Lecture Center on campus. To view the Reel Rock 2014 trailer, visit www.reelrocktour.com. Meanwhile, Rock and Snow will continue to host its fall lecture series featuring notable climbers and outdoorspeople. On Saturday, October 18, Doug Robinson will present a slideshow. On Saturday, October 25, there will be a book-reading and discussion with Francis Sanzaro, author of The Boulder: A Philosophy for Bouldering. Two more slideshows will follow, on Saturday, November 1 with Julian Lines and on Saturday, November 8 with Silas Rossi.

The evening begins at the pavilion at 101 New Paltz Road in Highland, with guided moonlit tours of the 3.6-mile trail to Tony Williams Park and back, finishing up at a bonfire where student storytellers will share tales of historic figures and legends of the Hudson Valley. Light snacks will be served. Admission costs $5, with all proceeds benefiting trail maintenance and improvements. The walk is free for children under age 6. Flashlights are recommended, but visitors are asked to leave pets, bikes and scooters at home. The Fall Moon Walk goes on rain or shine. For more information, visit www. hudsonvalleyrailtrail.net.

Quilts in the Valley 2014 show at the Rondout Valley Middle School in Accord this Saturday and Sunday, October 11 and 12, could be called a human mirroring of autumn’s display around here. They’re colorful, intricately wrought and a spark for thoughts about legacies and traditions, time’s passage and the chilly times ahead. After all, in addition to their beauty, quilts are inevitably about comfort and coziness. For the big quilt show this weekend, expect raffles, refreshments, door prizes and even a boutique complete with supplies and ideas for quilters, as well as quite a few demos. The featured artist this year will be Betty Verhoeven, whom many consider a classic in various quilting styles. – Paul Smart

1992

October 9, 2014

On December 23, 1992, National Public Radio first aired a then-unknown performance artist’s droll reminiscence of the humiliations of working as a Christmas elf at Macy’s.

David Sedaris

Let’s explore life’s little absurdities with David Best-selling satirist Sedaris at the Bardavon on Saturday

early all of us can cite fortuitous media moments when we witnessed history as it happened. It was my good fortune to be listening to Morning Edition on December 23, 1992, when National Public Radio first aired a then-unknown performance artist’s droll reminiscence of the humiliations of working as a Christmas elf at Macy’s. It was a direly needed tonic to the saturation in treacly holiday spirit and desper-

ate consumerism in which we tend to find ourselves at that time of year. Like millions of other Americans that morning, I was transfixed by that snarky/ deadpan voice, that subversive sense of humor, that skewed way of perceiving the modern world – and became an instant fan of David Sedaris. SantaLand Diaries propelled him to stardom, and also served to secure his discoverer, local Chicago radio host Ira Glass, his long-running gig as host of Public

Radio International’s This American Life. Since then, whenever Sedaris publishes one of his collections of essays that teeter on the brink of autobiography and fiction, it shoots to the top of The New York Times’ best-seller list. His pieces – which calmly dissect the absurdity of such situations as growing up gay in North Carolina, controlling obsessive/ compulsive disorder with cigarettes and then trying to stop smoking, coping with daily life in France when you don’t speak French, discovering that some people leave human feces in unexpected places – appear regularly in The New Yorker and have twice been included in The Best American Essays. Seven million copies of his books are in print, and they have been translated into 25 languages. By 2001 he had already won the prestigious Thurber Prize for American Humor for Me Talk Pretty One Day. That book was about to be made into a movie by the great indie director Wayne Wang when Sedaris backed out – realizing, as he recounts in his essay “Repeat after Me,” that his five siblings were already having to put up with the reputation for weirdness that his exaggerated descriptions of his childhood experiences had brought them. His sister Amy has gone on to become a noted comedic actress and author in her own right – partially attributable to the notoriety conferred by her brother’s stories – but onscreen caricatures beyond his artistic control would have been too much to ask. Sedaris’ books sell phenomenally well because they are hilarious, skillfully written, laceratingly insightful about contemporary cultural norms and deeply appreciative of the brave souls who challenge them. But it’s in the verbal performance of his stories that the author shines most brightly, and his selfnarrated audiobook versions of his works

have thrice been nominated for Grammy Awards in the Best Spoken Word and Best Comedy Album categories. There’s no one like David Sedaris to deliver the works of David Sedaris with the gently satirical tone and timing that best do them justice – and make us laugh ourselves silly, shaking our heads at how bizarre life can often be. Luckily for the Hudson Valley, Sedaris seems to like performing at the Bardavon. He m a k e s a return visit on Saturday, October 11 – his first to the Poughkeepsie landmark since the April 2013 publication of his last essay collection, Let’s Explore Diabetes with Owls. It’s a fair bet that he’ll be test-marketing some new material in advance of whatever strangely titled opus he plans to publish next, so here’s another opportunity to catch cultural history in the making whilst having a truly entertaining evening out. Comedians are a dime a dozen, but great humorists are a national treasure and great monologists an even-rarer phenomenon. The performance begins at 8 p.m. and will wrap up with a question-and-answer session, followed by book-signing in the theater lobby courtesy of Oblong Books of Rhinebeck. Tickets cost $48 general admission, $43 for Bardavon members and are available at the Bardavon box office at 35 Market Street in Poughkeepsie, (845) 473-2072; the Ulster Performing Arts Center box office at 601 Broadway in Kingston, (845) 339-6088; or via TicketMaster (no member discount available) at (800) 745-3000 or www. ticketmaster.com.

ON THE STRENGTH of its uncompromising cultural programming, O+ has become far more than a Band-Aid; it has matured into a new social model as well as a prestigious (and competitive) “starter festival” for bands and artists who have gone on to do bigger things.

Healthy body, healthy culture

concept mechanics of a clinical study, let’s get distracted for a moment in its social concept and implications, before we turn over the who, where and when of this year’s super-stocked festival. O+ began as a conceptually simple, oneweekend way of connecting uninsured artists (whose fortunes are always yoked to larger economic tides) with healthcare providers in a loop of service: a festive artsand-health bazaar in Uptown Kingston, utilizing community spaces and resources and enlisting the support of neighbors to make it all happen.

O+ Festival in Kingston

evisiting its original video trailer/teaser, I am reminded that Kingston’s innovative O+ Festival, now flourishing in its fifth year and celebrated far beyond our regional borders, was originally conceived as something stopgap and urgent – in its founders’ own words, a “Band-Aid” measure in “brutal economic times.” In other words, the O+ founders – artists all, of various stripes – were aware at the outset that this community-mediated health-and-art swap meet probably shouldn’t have to exist. It was one community’s novel method of provision, pressed into reality by genuine need. That need proved, as often as not, to be for dentistry. Because O+ owns such an audacious premise and, after years of growth and refinement, also possesses the proof-of-

Health professionals and artists (bands and muralists, mostly) would perform their own unique spells and magics upon each other in a publicly attended, temporarily transformed city environment: “bartering the art of medicine for the medicine of art.” Musicians with bad teeth, repetitive stress tendonitis or “unspecified complaint” (often untreated for years and years) might get a quick fix or be set on the path toward recovery and sustainable health, assuming that they would accept such non-monetary remuneration for their performances (and they have flocked to it in droves). For their service, provided in an ad hoc hipster medical pavilion of sorts

(which threatens to become a permanent facility soon), health care professionals of various traditional and complementary kinds were treated to…well, it is harder to say what material benefit was offered to the healthcare side. For, now, we have stumbled into O+’s secondary premise, its secret mission. The primary motive was and is care for the uninsured and the exposed, and some long-term sustainable provisions for the always-endangered, never-secure creative lifestyle. But just beneath that, O+ is a test: a daring test of the material value of art in an age that is turning art into the fussy division of “content,” and that has eroded the value and price of content nearly to zero, in ways that are well-documented, ongoing and not accidental. By placing music and murals on the same level as health and vitality, O+ puts a holistic price on art and draws a bold metaphor between physical and cultural health. You could have traded your music for food or clothing or rent defrayment. You could have traded your music for car or computer repair or any number of other essential services. The genius of O+ was finding and highlighting the natural, experiential affinity between health and art as “states.” Obviously, as a society we understand the primacy of healthcare and we never, ever stop arguing about it; props to O+ for casting light on our aesthetic health (and its own crises) in a way that was all about action and not pontification. On the strength of its uncompromising cultural programming, O+ has become far more than a Band-Aid; it has matured into a new social model as well as a prestigious (and competitive) “starter festival” for bands and artists who have gone on to do bigger things. Musically (for that’s all I really care about in life), O+ has been nothing short of a local revolution revelation, challenging the mid-Hudson Valley roots ’n’ rock defaults in an entirely collegial way and bringing us an

annual megadose of urban indie, arty and the famously obscure. Venues all over Kingston are pressed into service, hosting talents from all over the world, with ample local representa-

MUSIC

O+ FESTIVAL FEATURES GARY LEVITT’S SETTING SUN

he Brooklyn-based songwriter and producer Gary Levitt releases his colorful-but-muted psych/folk/rock records (five and counting) under the name Setting Sun. The band alias began during his days as an audio engineer in San Francisco and came with him when he made the pilgrimage back to his college town of New Paltz, where he tended Setting Sun for a number of years while also running the Young Love recording studio and record label out of his country home. A natural cultural incline leads, or once led, the best and the brightest of the Hudson Valley’s indie scene towards the boroughs, and Levitt, probably recognizing that the majority of his gigs and fans were there, did not resist the gravity. He reestablished the nomadic Young Love in Brooklyn, lucking into a suitable studio space, by his own account, and carrying on his multifarious, independent musical life without much of a hitch – also finding the time to launch a career in standup comedy because he likes the stage, but got tired of moving gear. Now, thanks to the O+ Festival and a variety of other developments in Kingston, Hudson, Beacon, New Paltz and elsewhere, the resident indie scene in the Valley has grown somewhat lively and somewhat notable, and when Levitt brings Setting Sun up to play at O+ this weekend, he might well be wondering where all this was six years ago. Welcome home, Gary! Be Here When You Get There (2013, Young Love Records) is Setting Sun’s first transmission from its Brooklyn home. In what is by now a fairly familiar indie paradox, Levitt went urban to find his inner eccentric rustic. Oh, Be Here When You Get There is not a retro BK banjo record by any means, but it is decidedly less synthand sample-driven than 2010’s Fantasurreal. Neither does it attempt to recapture the bright pop of 2008’s excellent Children of the Wild. Moody, luminous, organic, driven by an earthy rattle of acoustic strum, filigreed with reverb-swamped solo strings and riven by some continuously inspired and lacy bass-playing courtesy of Jen Turner (Here We Go Magic, TEEN, Julian Casablancas), Be Here When You Get Here rather rocks in a dark Baroque/groove/folk way. To my ears, Levitt has always exemplified a certain paradoxical class of indie auteur: the kind whose core values as a writer are traditional, but whose rough and experimental treatment of songs, via arranging and production, is anything but. Levitt’s unfussy melodies have always been growers; give them a chance and they will insinuate themselves, borne by his dark-but-by-now-entirely-comfortable

singing voice. And his motives and purposes are genuine and never terribly obscure – philosophical, certainly, but Levitt is not into playing games lyrically. The sounds and the settings, however, here as on past records, often embrace the murky, vertiginous, remote, warped and warbled, making the listener grope around a bit for the solid nut of the song. It is an intentional and often quite beautiful aesthetic effect, but only because that solid nut of a song is unfailingly there. Want some references for Be Here When You Get There? How about Devendra Banhart after a master class with Tom Petty? Be Here When You Get There moves seamlessly between earthy and underwater, between the ominous (“Week Long Nights,” “Dream Next Door”) and the sweet and redemptive (“Selfish Love,” “Seasons”). The cumulative surprise here is how driving and propulsive this mood-folk record turns out to be. It is gone in a flash, and yet leaves the unsettling afterblur of a journey to some remote inner places where maybe you’re not really supposed to go. – John Burdick Setting Sun, Sunday, October 12, 6:30 p.m., Stockade Tavern, 313 Fair Street, Kingston; http://kingston.opositivefestival.org.

tion as well. This year’s big names are a diverse crew, including resident rock star Tony Levin’s Stick Men, the Baroque-pop songwriter Matt Pond and Freeman (the new project of Aaron Freeman, a/k/a Gene Ween). Because O+ has quickly developed prestige as an incubator in the indie world, a lot of the big names on this year’s bill are ones whom we don’t recognize yet. I think of Lucius’ revelatory set at BSP two festivals ago and all that has happened to that band since then. In that spirit, I’ll throw down a bet on the hypermusical Brooklyn band

Landlady, which hits this year’s O+ with some accumulating buzz. A recent trend in the O+ methodology has been not only the inclusion of local artists, but also the integration of local art brands and series as well. In past years, BSP hosted a BRAWL arm-wrestling tournament in its cavernous back space as part of O+, and Sari Botton’s popular TMI personal narrative series did its thing as well. This year, New Paltz’s startlingly successful Tin Roof Sessions have ducked in under the O+ umbrella. In all, this year’s “Correspondence”-

The changing face of

classical

music Almanac Weekly’s fall classical music guide to the Hudson Valley

hen I came to the Hudson Valley four decades ago, there was not very much classical music in the area. Maverick Concerts had been in existence for more than half a century, offering one concert each weekend in July and August. The Hudson Valley Philharmonic played in Kingston and Poughkeepsie. There were a few small series, like the Hudson Valley Chamber Music Circle, and a few concerts at the colleges. Today the classical music scene seems to have exploded. Even Maverick has more than doubled its offerings. And during the remainder of the year, there are numerous series larger and smaller throughout the Almanac Weekly area. The following summary attempts to catch most of the coming activity for the remainder of 2014, including two new series. Olive Free Library’s Piano Plus If you rebuild it, they will come.

many music contacts to put together a concert series at the Library. When the couple relocated to Virginia and their series ended, composer George Tsontakis decided to step into the gap

and keep music going at the Library. “If Trail Mix hadn’t been there,” he told me, “ I would never have been up for curating a music series. But Trail Mix proved they could draw a crowd, and then it left a

vacuum and a piano.” Last spring he curated the first Piano Plus concerts, all of which featured excellent musicians. This spring will see another Piano Plus season. Meanwhile, Tsontakis himself is joining with his High Point ensemble to bring music to the Olive Library on Saturday, November 8 at 4 p.m. Although he has a very active composing career with constant commissions, Tsontakis likes to do some playing. “Composers should all play,” he says. “It changes the way they write music. And playing makes me feel engaged with the music scene.” The entire program isn’t yet set, but it will include Mozart’s E Flat Piano Quartet, with Tsontakis as violist, and a Haydn trio played by the other members of High Point: pianist Hiroko Sakurazawa; violinist Steven Starkman, a former member of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra; and cellist Ling Kwan, principal cellist of the Woodstock Chamber Orchestra. See www.olivefreelibrary.org/calendar for information on the concerts and many other programs of the Library. Hudson Opera House’s Classics on Hudson

Meanwhile, across the river, another rebuilding project is bearing fruit. While the restoration of the Hudson Opera House’s actual opera house isn’t complete, the organization is starting a new series: Classics on Hudson. Co-directed by violinist Helena Baillie (who played recently at the Kingston Festival of the Arts) and conductor Gwen Gould, Classics on Hudson is offering an ambitious first season. The opening concert takes place on Saturday, October 11 at 7 p.m. at the Opera House, located at 327 Warren Street in Hudson. The Horszowski Trio will play works of Haydn, Schumann and Tower (her For Daniel). Tickets are priced at a modest $20, $18 for Hudson Opera House members. The series continues on November 22 with a performance by ETHEL, a very hip string quartet that specializes in contemporary music, some written by its members. A listing of the season, including some quite well-known musicians (among them Baillie herself ), can be found at http:// classicsonhudson.wordpress.com. Leaf Peeper Concerts in Columbia County

Tickets cost $20 for this event, and there’s more information at www. centerforperformingarts.org.

The opening program takes place at the Woodstock Playhouse on Sunday, October 12 at 3 p.m. Cellist Lillia Keyes is featured in Fauré’s beautiful Elegie.

Both concerts take place at the Bardavon 1869 Opera House in Poughkeepsie. On Saturday, December 20 at 2 p.m., at the Ulster Performing Arts Center (UPAC) in Kingston, the HVP will perform Handel’s Messiah with full chorus and singalong opportunities for the audience.

Also at the Bardavon and UPAC, you can see the Metropolitan Opera HD Live broadcasts, which are in quite amazing audio and video quality. That season opens on October 11 with Verdi’s Macbeth at the Bardavon. Mozart’s Le Nozze di Figaro takes place on October 18 at UPAC, Bizet’s Carmen on November 1 at the Bardavon and Rossini’s Barber of Seville on November 22, also at the Bardavon. All these broadcasts begin at 1 p.m. and are preceded at 12:30 p.m. by an introductory talk. Saugerties Pro Musica If Saugerties Pro Musica (SPM)’s opening concert by the splendid pianist Inesa Sinkevych was any indication, that organization is due for an outstanding season.

Bard College Conservatory, American Symphony Orchestra As usual, the Bard College schedule of music performances is far too large to be summarized briefly. Here are some outstanding fall events.

Unfortunately the information is split between two websites, but they’re both worth visiting: www.conservatoryconcerts. bard.edu and www.fishercenter.bard.edu. SUNY-New Paltz Other area colleges have moremodest-but-still-worthwhile offerings. SUNY-New Paltz’s Julien J. Studley Theatre has a Beethoven Meets Mozart concert, with pianist Alex Peh and members of the Hudson Valley Philharmonic, featuring both composers’ quintets for piano and winds, on Tuesday, October 28 at 8 p.m. On November 11, also at Studley, faculty pianists Ruthanne Schempf, Sylvia Buccelli and Peh join piano students for a Piano Riot of four- and six-hand piano music at 8 p.m. There’s also a Symphonic Band concert on November 18 at Studley at 8 p.m., and three Chamber Jazz Ensemble concerts there on November 20, 24 and 25.

Considering that his orchestra recently survived a near-death experience, Nathan Madsen (above), music director of the Woodstock Chamber Orchestra (WCO), sounds full of ambition and enthusiasm. “In my second season we were just happy to play a concert” (after closing down temporarily). “Now that we’re back, I wanted to pair up this season with my first. That season we emphasized local composers. This season we are highlighting artists who have connections to the Hudson Valley. Cellist Lillia Keyes is from Poughkeepsie originally. [She now lives and works in Germany.] The Fauré Élégie is a foothills piece in terms of difficulty. It’s a work that many students play, so I’m hoping that younger cellists will come to hear it. “From there I wanted to build outward. What else goes well with Fauré? Recently I have been discovering the music of Charles Gounod. He wrote the Alfred Hitchcock Presents theme, but aside from that his work is underappreciated. His Second Symphony has many parallels to Schumann’s Third Symphony [which the WCO will play next March] in the way it sounds and feels. I have an uncle, a retired professor of French Literature, and every time we talk he asks if I have listened to much Gounod. This one’s for him. “Once we had Fauré and Gounod in place, I felt that other French composers would enhance the program.” The others are Satie and Debussy. The next WCO concert, in December, involves two local choruses, and members of the orchestra

Hudson’s Spotty Dog Books hosts ArtsWalk Literary Arts Festival For the second year running, the Spotty Dog Books & Ale in Hudson is slated to kick off the ArtsWalk Literary Arts Festival weekend by gathering an intriguing mix of local authors

to share their unpublished or in-progress works in fiction, nonfiction and poetry. Spotty Dog manager Karen Schoemer has lined up six well-known (successfully published) and unknown (guys from around town) authors to read this Friday, October 10 from 7 to 9-ish p.m., with heavy mingling between the readers and the audience encouraged after the program. Presented in conjunction with the Columbia County Council on the Arts, “Here, Now II: A Reading by Emerging and Established Writers” will feature Richard Boch, Nic Flood, Dave King, Andrea Kleine, Sonia Pilcer and Amy Rigby. Boch is an artist, writer, and lifelong New Yorker who is currently working on a memoir and history of the time 1979 and 1980, centered on 22 months spent working the door at New York City’s Mudd Club. Nic Flood, a native of Louisville, Kentucky currently residing in Columbia County, is first and foremost an observer. His poems, fiction and photographs are side effects of this occupation. He currently photographs and works as an art handler at the Jack Shainman Gallery’s Kinderhook location. Dave King’s best-selling debut novel The Ha-Ha was a finalist for the Bookof-the-Month Club’s Best Literary Fiction award and the Quill Foundation’s award for Best Debut Fiction, amongst other distinguished accolades. King’s poems and essays have appeared in the Paris Review, the Village Voice and Fence, and in the Italian literary journal Nuovi Argomenti; King is also a translator of the Italian poet Massimo Gezzi. He and his husband, painter Franklin Tartaglione, divide their time between Brooklyn and the Hudson Valley. A new novel, tentatively titled The Beast and Beauty, is in the works. Andrea Kleine is a writer and interdisciplinary performance artist. She is a five-time MacDowell Colony fellow, a Montalvo Arts Center literary fellow, a New York Foundation for the Arts fellow and was valedictorian of her eighthgrade class. Her new performance work, Screening Room, will premiere at the Chocolate Factory Theater in New York this December. She is currently working on a novel. With five books to her credit already, Sonia Pilcer will be publishing her sixth novel, The Last Hotel, in January of 2015. Born in Augsburg, Germany, Pilcer was raised in the boroughs of New York City. She currently teaches at Berkshire Community College and at the Writer’s Voice in New York City, as well as privately. Schoemer, also an author and musician, will play host. She calls writing “an invisible artform,” the nature of which is so solitary and silent that we often don’t know of the active writers in our midst. “In putting this program together, I wanted to put the emphasis on the toil, the daily grind that takes place, often for a length of time, behind the scenes.” Last year’s “Here, Now” reading was a standing-room-only affair. Come in early to grab a seat and browse through the Dog’s 10,000 titles, and enjoy a pint or two of beer from the Dog’s ever-flowing taps. – Ann Hutton

Hudson Valley Bounty Chili Contest For one generation chili was a canned item, or something slopped onto a hot dog. It was said to have South of the Border roots, until our own Southwest started pushing its own cuisine in cookbooks and cooking shows. Then it grew into standard football fare and a weekly occurrence on school and senior menus, as well as a staple of convenience-store offerings and lunch alternatives all over America. By now, it’s the stuff of festivals, here in the Hudson Valley and surrounding mountains, pretty much every season of the year – and competitive cooking and eating, to boot. That happens this weekend in – yes, you guessed it: the happening city of Hudson, where the growing seven-yearold Hudson Valley Bounty Chili Contest runs the afternoon of Saturday, October 11 along the waterfront overlooking the distant mountains. Expect a wealth of professional and amateur chefs going for audience faves, as well as a whole panoply of chili styles sure to start new legends regarding the food’s origins and history, given the number of creative sorts whom the event traditionally draws. – Paul Smart Hudson Valley Bounty Chili Contest, Saturday, October 11, 12 noon-4 p.m., Henry Hudson Riverfront Park, Water Street, Hudson.

ART

ALMANAC WEEKLY

October 9, 2014

I WAS ALWAYS INTERESTED IN MY ANCESTRY, the shtetl and that imagery of darkness and lightness.

“Don’t spend the money; spend time with other artists.” I have taken some classes with an art college in Portland, and now that I’m in Providence I want to take classes at the Rhode Island School of Design. I attend drawing salons and meet with other artists. How did your music career develop? My parents were both classical musicians. I started piano when I was 5 and drums when I was 10. I had my first rock band when I was a senior in high school, then quit when I was in college. I was a pretty serious student and didn’t want anything to interfere with my studies, until a dear friend said, “You can do both.” I started playing music again and moved back to Portland from Eugene, where I had attended the University of Oregon. I found myself playing in bands and did some other things: I was a music teacher and worked at a nonprofit for at-risk youth. When one of the nonprofit jobs fell through, the Decemberists started doing really well and I was touring full-time. I played in a lot of different bands, and when touring times were slow I taught private lessons to kids in drumming and songwriting, in addition to teaching at schools. AND THE WHALE CARRIED US BY RACHEL BLUMBERG

You can do both Exhibition by artist/ drummer Rachel Blumberg at New Paltz’s Team Love RavenHouse Gallery

eam Love RavenHouse Gallery, located in downtown New Paltz, doesn’t just show art; it also presents musical performances and sponsors community forums. For example, in conjunction with its last exhibit, Andrea Frank’s “Systems: Trees,” the gallery hosted two experimental mapping sessions enabling participants to gain a deeper understanding of the local forest’s ecosystem. It’s therefore not surprising that the featured artist in its upcoming show, Rachel Blumberg, is not only a compelling artist but also an accomplished musician, who has toured the world with the Decemberists, M. Ward, Bright Eyes, Tara Jane O’Neil and other noteworthy

bands. (Gallery co-owner Cornelia Calder said that she met Blumberg on tour with the band Bright Eyes, which her husband manages through his company, Ravenhouse Ltd.) Titled “I Dreamt You Were a Horseshoe Crab,” the exhibition, which opens October 10 and closes November 2, features Blumberg’s works-on-paper and dioramas. Inspired by the Jewish folk world of Fiddler on the Roof as well as fairy tales, the New England coast and her European travels, Blumberg’s paintings also incorporate moments from her life, such as the daily visit from the red-crested woodpecker in her backyard. Her latest work reflects a shift from acrylic to line drawings in pen-and-ink combined with watercolor, gouache and acrylic. Also on display are her collages and assemblages of found objects and painted paper dioramas, displayed in tiny boxes. Originally from Portland, Oregon, Blumberg moved to Pawtucket, Rhode Island two years ago. Besides touring with the bands Death Vessel and Califone and making art, she also creates short stop-motion experimental films, teaches drumming and composes and records her own music as Arch Cape. In the midHudson Valley, Blumberg has previously shown her work at the One Mile Gallery in Kingston. Almanac Weekly’s Lynn Woods recently interviewed Blumberg, who was in Portland visiting friends and family, by phone: What has inspired your folk imagery? It has a lot to do with the imagery I saw as a kid. My whole family is second- and first-generation Eastern European, and there was a big Marc Cha-

gall book in our living room. There was also a lot of artwork on the walls, which must have seeped into my aesthetic choices. I was always interested in my ancestry, the shtetl and that imagery of darkness and lightness. I also love and adore American folk art – in particular the work of Howard Finster and other untrained artists. You see the subconscious coming through their work. I’m interested in fairy tales and illustrated art for kids. Human stories and fairy tales are always scratching at trying to get to what it means to be a person, collectively and through individual stories. How did art fit into your education? I ran with an artsy crowd in high school. I studied music and got a degree in Anthropology and Archaeology. I was always interested in studying other cultures’ music, religion and art. I started making some art in college, when I took one art class. When I was in my late 20s I was working at Reed College, and we were allowed to take classes for free. I decided to take a painting class, and a door opened up for me. The teacher was really supportive. He pulled something out of me, and I was impressed and he was impressed. I thought about going to grad school for art, and everyone said don’t do it. I was also doing music full-time and trying to figure out the art and the music. What made you decide not to attend art school? I loved the idea of being surrounded by people doing the same thing and having those dialogues, but so many friends who went to grad school said,

Why did you move to the East Coast? I had lived in Portland my whole life, except for those years in Eugene. When I traveled all over the world, having experiences in these other places made me feel like I wanted to live somewhere else. I was about to move to LA, because the scene there was pretty amazing and wonderful; creative people had moved down there. I moved to Providence instead because I fell in love, and he lives in Providence. He was an old friend and we had lost touch; we reconnected at a music festival in New York. I was in Paris for a month doing music for a festival and I felt very strongly for this person, so when I got back to Portland I packed my bags and hopped in the car with my dog and went. What’s different about living in the East? I love how all the cities are much closer together. New England is very charming. I love the Berkshires and upstate New York; the area around Kingston and New Paltz is incredibly beautiful. I leaped in feet-first and found a couple of bands to play with. I now tour with Death Vessel, from Providence, and my fiancé also plays with that band. I also tour with Califone, based in LA. When I’m at home I teach lessons a couple of times a week. Is art becoming more a focus than music? The formula is changing. I definitely am doing more art and want that to continue to increase. I’m getting into grantwriting to fund my ideas, and I’ve decided I’m going to be much pickier about touring. I’m creating my own music and don’t want to be on the road as much. I want to focus and pare down and dig deeper into a couple of things. I’m pretty good at balancing it all. When I was younger and thought I had to choose, I realized I don’t want to give up anything. It’s just a matter of being consistent and organized. You look a lot younger than your 45 years. I just like being challenged and adventurous, and I like making things and putting things into the world. I love doing everything I do and can’t imagine not doing those things. I’m pretty driven. It’s important to realize we shouldn’t give up our own power and we’re in charge of our choices.

A meandering drive up the east side of the Hudson River through the town of the same name and on past West Ghent will bring visitors to a worldclass cultural exhibition complex called Omi International Arts Center: a not-for-profit organization that draws visual artists, writers, translators, musicians and dancers from countries around the globe. Open year-round, the 300-acre Omi property features an outdoor public exhibition space encompassing the Fields Sculpture Park and Architecture Omi, which boasts a collection of contemporary sculptures â&#x20AC;&#x201C; more than 80 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; rivaling that other open-air sculpture park downriver: You know the one. The Fields and Architecture Omi regularly rotate the works of internationally recognized modern artists, and are currently honoring the new pieces of seven outstanding talents for Omiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first annual Fall Exhibition. An opening reception is slated for Sunday, October 12 from 1:30 to 4 p.m., just in time for that drive through the magnificent fall color display in the Valley. Cuban-American artist Alexandre Arrechea will show Helmsley from No Limits, a public art exhibition of steel sculptures previously on view along Park Avenue in New York City. Arrecheaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 15-foot sculpture pays homage to the Helmsley Building there. The restored sculpture by Jackie Ferrara, Ribbed Dome, 1997, was initially installed at the Fields in 2000. Since the 1980s, Ferraraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work has evolved from architectural tabletop constructions to public art projects referencing pyramids, courtyards, arenas, theaters, archways, loggias, wall and floor sections, passageways, poolhouses and towers.

Has it been difficult supporting yourself as a musician/artist? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had people ask me advice about making it as a musician. You have to stay with your goal and canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think about being famous; this is something you look at out of the corner of your eye. If you just make your work, enjoy it and work hard at it, a lot of time the success and fame follow, because youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re so in the moment of making the thing and dedicated. A lot of people have some social or political issue theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re into, and I do that with my music and art. An artist like Kara Walker is amazing. Not wanting fame or success means youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re focusing on the meat of the thing, the core of what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing. I have money coming from many different sources, but I also live frugally and am not into materialism. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy as long as I have enough money to eat. I love to travel, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not that expensive; you can do a lot with very little. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t eat out a lot. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like to buy stuff â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in fact, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m trying to get rid of stuff. I live project-toproject, and teaching provides stability.

People have to learn to get from Point A to B and avoid sinking into the muck. A lot of my friends are creative types, who do a multitude of things. I started support groups with some of them and we talk about organization and grantwriting, so we can help each other. A lot of people get caught up in lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drama, which prevents them from fulfilling their deepest dreams. Obviously there are struggles, and sometimes Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m completely overwhelmed. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m learning whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important in life is keeping your perspective.

Tel Aviv-based visual artist and musician Guy Goldstein presents his first exhibition of outdoor sculpture at Omi. The project, Time Signatures, began with Goldsteinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fascination with weathervanes, a vernacular architecture element foreign to Israel yet native to the Hudson River Valley, while he was in residence at Art Omi. Sculptor and landscape artist Paula Hayes, known for her terrariums and other living artworks, will be exhibiting Lucid Green and Cabinet of Currency in Omiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s galleries. The two pieces explore the decadelong story of Jill Poet, which articulates Hayesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interest in the connection of people to their natural environment. These works join her Trees for ETs, the large site-specific installation that opened in the Fields in the summer of 2013. Catherine Lee has been creating largescale bronze works since the late 1980s. In the Fields, Lee will exhibit a brand-new series titled Constants, which explores three-dimensional space along her fascination of surface and abstract shape. Joan Linder uses pen-and-ink to create labor-intensive, often life-size drawings that transform mundane subjects into conceptually rich images. In her exhibition in the Charles Benenson Gallery at Omi, Linder will exhibit Drawn Home, a simultaneously impersonal and deeply personal archive depicting ten years in the domestic lives of the artist and her family.

Last June, the Brooklyn-based design firm Harrison Atelier created a pavilion that is an undulating canopy of networked spaces sited at the edge of a forest and field in Architecture Omiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rolling landscape. It now unveils the next phase of the project, Species Niches 2: a site-specific installation and performance choreographed by James McGinn and composed by Loren Dempster. The performance will take place at 2 p.m. Through a variety of programs and public events like the Fall Exhibition, Omi fosters a creative environment of exploration and diversity for participating artists, and exposes visitors to a multiplicity of stylistic forms placed in a stunning natural setting, well-worth an afternoonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outing. And in advance of the season opening, two guided tours of exhibition highlights will be conducted through the Fields and Architecture Omi on Saturday, October 11 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. On any day, plan to spend an hour or two wandering the grounds, and call ahead for handicapped accessibility.

HOW DO YOU TALK IN A WAY THAT SERVES THE FILM-CONSUMING PUBLIC about a movie in which the biggest shocker scene lands at the end of Act One, rendering everything that follows unmentionable except by the most obscure or equivocal of references?

A marriage made in Hell Almost nothing is what it seems in David Fincher’s twisty G one Girl

ecause the Village Voice’s resident movie reviewer Jonas Mekas was off making a film of his own in June of 1960, when Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho was released, a still-youngish journalist named Andrew Sarris got his chance to launch a long career as one of America’s most famously academic, arguably elitist film critics – one for whom “movie reviewer” might have seemed too lowbrow a job title. Regardless of how one feels about his tendency to love or hate a film solely on the basis of who directed it, one must give Sarris props for filling a whole column with that maiden-voyage review, while making a deft end run around the fact that the star of Psycho dies only a third of the way in. It was in this review that cinephiles got their first serious taste of the auteur theory so closely associated with Sarris, as

Rosamund Pike and Ben Affleck (center) in Gone Girl

he praised Hitchcock as “the most daring avant-garde filmmaker in America today” and lauded the movie’s “richly symbolic commentary on the modern world as a public swamp.” Meanwhile, he managed to divulge almost nothing of what actually

transpires in Psycho, other than to note that it “includes the grisliest murder scenes ever filmed.” “Only a congenital spoilsport would reveal the plot,” he wrote. That is the conundrum that confronts would-be reviewers of thrillers whose primary selling point is one or more major plot twists of which the audience is not supposed to have any inkling coming in: Other than from the lofty intellectual catbird seat so effectively claimed by Sarris and his ilk, how do you talk in a way that serves the film-consuming public about a movie in which the biggest shocker scene lands at the end of Act One, rendering everything that follows unmentionable except by the most obscure or equivocal of references? As popular tastes in film and television fare grow more sophisticated (and perhaps more jaded), demanding subtle, morally ambiguous characterizations rather than the black-hatted villains and white-hatted heroes of Hollywood’s Golden Age and narratives that take us places we didn’t

expect to go, movies that challenge reviewers in this way are becoming more numerous. Blogs are now proliferating that have one link to a review fostering in-depth analysis among those who have already read the book on which the movie or TV show is based, and a second link to a spoiler-free version catering to unsuspecting newbies, or what Game of Thrones fans call the Unsullied. This week’s case in point of a movie where the not-knowing is the core enjoyment factor is a murder/ disappearance mystery in which, like Psycho, the biggest bombshell drops quite early on – though other gradual reveals of backstory, motive and method continue to unspool pleasurably thereafter: David Fincher’s Gone Girl. And it’s a real poser how to say anything about it at all beyond this long-winded intro. I walked into the cinema with the distinct advantage of being among the minority of literate Americans who had not read Gillian Flynn’s mega-bestselling 2012 potboiler novel. And I had successfully dodged any subsequent

NIGHT SKY

A 40 anniversary And the new science knowledge survey

t’s 40 years since this weekly column began. It was a different world then, in the mid-’70s: No space probe had ventured past Mars. No one knew that quarks exist and form the nucleus of every atom. The new millennium was still a quarter-century away. The Internet did not exist. Neither did global warming. VHS camcorders and tapes lay in the future. I was a kid in his 20s. I had not yet taught college Astronomy. But our publisher, who had bravely started our first newspaper Woodstock Times a year or so earlier, approved this column, along with a $5 remuneration. That bought nine gallons of gas. The average new car cost $3,700. A typical house was $35,000. But some things haven’t changed. The National Science Foundation (NSF) keeps track of public science awareness, and just released its annual basic knowledge survey. Result? The average American correctly answers between five and six of its nine questions. That result hasn’t budged over all these years. Care to try it? If you score higher than six, your “basic science knowledge” is superior to most folks. Few science-savvy people get ’em all correct, so don’t sweat it. Answer true or false: • The center of the Earth is very hot. • The continents on which we live have been moving their locations for millions of years and will continue to move in the future. • All radioactivity is man-made. • Electrons are smaller than atoms. • Lasers work by focusing sound waves. • Antibiotics kill viruses as well as bacteria. • The sex of a child is determined by the father’s genes. • Does the Earth go around the Sun, or does the Sun go around the Earth? (If #8 answered correctly:) How long does it take for the Earth to go around the Sun? (Answers: 1T, 2T, 3F, 4T, 5F, 6F, 7T, 8 Earth goes around Sun, 9 one year.) Science isn’t everyone’s “thing,” and I wouldn’t deem it deficient to get three wrong. But this quiz yielded some surprises. For example, many assume that Europeans are far ahead of us, but their scores on this NSF “basic science knowledge” test were no different from ours. Beyond book-learning, educators say that they’d like US students to exhibit more critical thinking. Surveys reveal that a disturbing minority believe in various conspiracy ideas that do demonstrate skepticism of authority (which is good), but also faulty

discussions that divulged whether or not protagonist Nick Dunne (Ben Affleck) had in fact murdered his wife Amy (Rosamund Pike), who has disappeared from the childless couple’s rented McMansion in Missouri, leaving behind some smashed furniture and the hastily swabbed-up remnants of a pool of blood on the kitchen floor. I didn’t want to know. But I did read a few other reviews beforehand; and despite their authors’ strenuous efforts not to make them spoilerific, I accurately guessed where the story was going, based on hints as slim as other movie titles in whose genre they placed Gone Girl (Psycho was not among the tipoffs). Maybe the problem is that I’ve been spoiled, perhaps irrevocably, by today’s crop of literature, film and TV in which one must, in order to avoid future emotional trauma, presume that every narrator is unreliable, every character capable of both heroic and villainous behavior (not to mention expendable at the author or director’s whim), all motives ulterior and all ethics situational. The novel on which Gone Girl is based alternates point-of-view between the two principals, with Nick’s chapters commencing with the morning of the day of Amy’s disappearance and Amy’s with an entry dated some seven years earlier chronicling the couple’s first meeting, in a diary that Nick – significantly – doesn’t know that she keeps (or so he claims). By showing early courtship scenes as backstory from an apparently omniscient cinema viewpoint, the movie is able to save the existence of the diary for a later complication. But the camera’s eye in this movie is not necessarily always as objective as moviegoers have come to expect; it too may be an unreliable narrator at times. In cinema, as in a marriage or in life, everything is subjective, Fincher suggests.

That diary is only one of many things that Nick doesn’t know about his onceidealized wife, and he harbors quite a few secrets of his own, some of them significant. Without getting too much into specifics, there is certainly violent crime in the story of Gone Girl, and some of its best moments are the police-procedural passages rendered by Patrick Fugit and especially Kim Dickens as the primary investigators assigned to Amy’s case. But it’s really less of a whodunit than a study of how relationships can deteriorate over time as a couple’s illusions about one another unravel – especially under the stresses of financial reversals and infidelity. On the personal level, it’s about lying, from the merely self-serving to the pathological, and on the cultural level, about how truth is warped, perceptions manipulated and privacy compromised in our times by reality TV, cable network news and social media. Who or what, it asks, can we ever trust? For a tangly thriller, Gone Girl sometimes seems to be moving forward at too glacial a pace to sustain the tension that it’s after. The fact that Flynn’s screenplay affords the audience ample time to ponder plot holes – or wonder idly why an actress as young and beautiful as Pike needs to be so heavily Botoxed that she seems devoid of any expression above the eyes – suggests that some of its twoand-a-half-hour running time might profitably have been cut. But Affleck does fine work sustaining ambiguity as the husband whose muted affect and tendency to respond inappropriately in social situations are seen as insensitivity and lack of appreciation by his wife, and as glaring proof of murderous duplicity by TVwatchers across America. The rest of the cast does excellent work as well, notably

“Only a congenital spoilsport would reveal the plot,” he wrote.

evaluative abilities (which is bad). For example, polls show that seven percent of the public thinks that the Apollo Moon landings were a hoax. And when asked, “Do you believe that the exhaust seen in the sky behind airplanes is actually chemicals sprayed by the government for sinister reasons?” fully five percent answer in the affirmative. Buying into such ideas is a symptom of more than just a science deficiency, but an inability to assess how the real world operates (e.g. that thousands of people could all keep a juicy secret indefinitely). It also involves ignoring contradictory evidence. Apollo hoax believers never seem to wonder just where those rockets went after liftoff, if they didn’t go to the Moon. (If they had stayed in orbit, they’d remain visible. Plus, unfriendly countries tracking them on radar would have been happy to spill the beans.) With the “chemtrails” business, conspiracy believers seem unaware that a planeful of liquid released at 34,000 feet couldn’t reach the ground, but would dissipate. Aerial spraying is a treetop-level endeavor – not to mention the question of where you would find thousands of pilots willing to harm innocent Americans. Science evaluation skills are more important than ever, given today’s critical issues like runaway CO2, and yet 37 percent of Americans think that climate change is another government conspiracy. The NSF’s revelation that we’re stuck in a marginal level of science awareness is hopefully a wakeup call. Otherwise we’re squandering that wondrous knowledge that we’ve gained since the ’70s. Meanwhile, according to the Public Polling Policy company, four percent of Americans believe that “Lizard people control our society by gaining political power.” But is this really a stretch? I always vote for the “lizard people” candidate. Unfortunately, we never win. – Bob Berman Want to know more?

Carrie Coon as Margo, Nick’s twin sister and sounding board; Tyler Perry as Tanner Bolt, the celebrity attorney who takes on Nick’s defense with juicy relish for the seemingly hopeless fray; and Neil Patrick Harris, Amy’s wealthy ex-boyfriend Desi Collings, against whom she obtained an Order of Protection years earlier (or so she claims). There: I may be no Andrew Sarris, but I’ve managed to natter on without being a “congenital spoilsport” or divulging more than the most basic premise of Gone Girl, which you probably already knew anyway. Rest assured that the film is slickly assembled and engaging enough, even if, like me, you’re not as surprised by the main twist, and it still has a lot to say even once you more or less know who done what to whom. The most unexpected – and disappointing because it seems so implausible – denouement actually comes at the very end, when a major character makes a decision that will strike most people as inexplicably dumb. But maybe that’s just Gone Girl’s ironic message about what can happen when we let the mass media dumb us down beyond redemption. Or perhaps the secret sign over the gateway to matrimony is being revealed: “Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.” – 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.

Bardavon screens Truffaut’s Fahrenheit 451 for the Big Read The Bardavon 1869 Opera House in Poughkeepsie will open its 17 th season of classic films on the big screen with Fahrenheit 451 (1966) on Friday, October 10 at 7:30 p.m. A program of organ music will open the evening at

This was Truffaut’s first color film, as well as his only English-language film. Fahrenheit 451 stars Oskar Werner, Julie Christie and Cyril Cusack. Tickets are available at the Bardavon box office at 35 Market Street in Poughkeepsie, (845) 473-2072; the UPAC box office at 601 Broadway in Kingston, (845) 339-6088; or through Ticketmaster at (800) 745-3000 or www.ticketmaster. com.

“THERE ONCE WAS a middle-aged woman that lived in a van, who had so many passwords to remember, she thought of sticking her head in some sand. Or SAND? or sand998?” – Bonni, local Mom

Check out kid-friendly exhibits at SUNY-New Paltz’s Dorsky Museum The Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art always seems to show work that’s of interest to young people as well as adults (remember last year’s “Anonymous: Contemporary Tibetan Art”?), and the current exhibitions featuring local Hudson Valley artists are no exception: “Transforming Metal into Art: Dick Polich,” “Race, Love and Labor: New Work from the Center for Photography at Woodstock’s Artistin-Residency Program” and “Worlds of Wonder: Hudson Valley Artists 2014.” My daughter especially loved Expansion by Judy Thomas and Process Sample (Splashed Metal) by Dick Polich. I was also fascinated by the step-by-step description of creating a metal sculpture. Dorsky’s manageable size means that it’s not overwhelming for families, and in addition to the works on display, the interesting documentary about the Polich Tallix Fine Art Foundry is a chance to sit and take in some important background. In addition to the gallery exhibitions, be sure to find the super-cool 36-foot-long Gulliver metal sculpture by Tom Otterness before the end of the year, outside in the Fine Art Building Plaza, between the museum and the Sojourner Truth Library. As a heads-up, the Dorsky is closed on Saturday and Sunday, October 11 and 12 for Fall Break, so make plans to visit before the exhibits end in a few weeks – either during the week, or another weekend such as Saturday, October 18 at 2 p.m. for a Gallery Talk with some of the “Worlds of Wonder” artists: Adriana Farmiga, Holly Hughes and Mike McGregor; or on Sunday, November 2 at 2 p.m. for “Conversation: Making Art for Artists” with employees from Polich’s foundry about their experiences working with artists, as well as Polich himself. While you are on campus, be sure to stop by the Honors Center in College Hall to see third-semester student Roxolyana Shepko’s solo art show, consisting primarily of watercolor and mixed-media pieces, some of which are inspired by Slavic mythology. Come to the opening on Thursday, October 9 at 5 p.m. and enjoy Ukrainian-themed refreshments. The Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art and College Hall are located at SUNY-New Paltz, located at 1 Hawk Drive in New Paltz. For more information, call (845) 257-3844 or visit www.newpaltz.edu/ museum.

abling these youth to have exposure to college-level courses in areas that they could successfully complete, with appropriate accommodations. It offers opportunities for socialization and sports, along with concentrated training and internships in the workplace to bring each student to the highest level of independence that can be achieved. The basic framework combines a college-level program, work experience and independent living skills to avoid the need for group-home placement or other institutional-type programs due to lack of options after high school. To learn more about this program, businesses and families with children, friends or relatives with special needs are invited to attend a meeting this Thursday, October 9 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Gilman Center in the Library at the Middletown campus, which is located at 115 South Street in Middletown.

Historic Graveyard Tours in Hyde Park A walk through an old cemetery illuminated by lanterns comes to life, complete with resident “ghosts” telling their stories. It’s St. James Episcopal Church’s Historic Graveyard Tour, and this year you will meet six new characters, all of whom hold their fi-

nal resting place within the cemetery, sharing first-person experiences with the tour guests. I went last year for the first time with a teen friend, and we found it utterly charming and fascinating, giving a glimpse into a specific period of time in our local history, tied in with national events. This visit is a quintessential Halloween activity, and I hope that you make a tradition of it! Due to the occasional uneven ground and dark surroundings, I’d say that this is an event best for individuals or families with children or grandchildren over 12 years. Tours are scheduled on October Friday and Saturday evenings, beginning every half-hour from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Tickets cost $17 for ages 13 and over, $7 for ages 5 to 12; and they cost $2 less online. I suggest purchasing online to guarantee your spot, since walk-in numbers are limited per tour. As wheelchairs, walkers and strollers are inappropriate due to the terrain, guests with mobility concerns are invited to take the tour in the Graveyard Golf Cart, available at the 7 and 8:30 p.m. tours, reserved by calling (845) 229-2820 before purchasing tickets. St. James is located at 4526 Albany Post Road in Hyde Park. For reservations or more information, call (845) 229-2820 or visit www.stjameshistoricgraveyardtours. com.

I didn’t realize what a big deal this event was until I looked into it for Kids’ Almanac, but “A Day in the Life of the Hudson River” began in 2003 and has been growing ever since, with over 3,500 participants last year! The action happens along the entire Hudson River on Thursday, October 16. I’ll be having fun learning and doing river sampling this year with three of my favorite local environmental educators: Julie Noble, Steve Noble and Martha Cheo.

Grace Bakst-Wapner exhibition at SUNY-Ulster

Upcoming Events

GRACE BAKST-WAPNER

race Bakst-Wapner, currently showing a new series of beautifully textured two-dimensional works at SUNYUlster’s Muroff Kotler Visual Arts Gallery in Stone Ridge through early November, has a feminine elegance about her art – be it sculptural ceramics or calligraphic paintings – that lends the subtleties with which she works an almost epic air. Furthermore, her creativity’s always shifting, growing, reacting to the complexities of the world around, while also addressing the deepest of personal and spiritual challenges. “Its Minimalism asks us to look hard and fall into the color and materiality of what might be termed ‘flat sculpture,’” she says of her new two-dimensional explorations of tonal and textural juxtapositions. This is work that demands attention – with a whisper. The exhibition opens on Thursday, October 9 at 7 p.m. with a slide lecture and dialogue with curator/author/educator/artist Linda Weintraub in the College Lounge, and runs until November 7. – Paul Smart Grace Bakst-Wapner opening reception/slideshow/lecture, Thursday, October 9, 7 p.m., through November 7, Muroff Kotler Visual Arts Gallery, SUNY-Ulster, 491 Cottekill Road, Stone Ridge; (845) 687-5113; www.sunyulster.edu.

SECTION 1. LEGISLATIVE INTENT AND FINDINGS. The Ulster County Legislature finds: 1. The public sector’s role has increasingly evolved from a direct provider of service to that of a broker of services. The success of this role, overseeing a network of public, private, and not-for-profit organizations to ensure County services, relies on its ability to manage and oversee the entire operation, from project analysis and vendor selection to contracting and procurement. 2. The Ulster County Legislature is the appropriating body of Ulster County. As such it has a fiduciary duty to allocate funds in a fiscally and ethically responsible way with a view towards both the short and long term impacts on the citizens and businesses of Ulster County. 3. Individual Legislators, Committees and the Legislative body as a whole cannot fulfill their legislative duties without specific information as to the impact upon the citizens and businesses of Ulster County. 4. Thorough analysis of Resolutions approving the execution of contracts and contract amendments in excess of $50,000 entered into by the County for public services enables the Legislature to determine whether the value of an action’s positive consequences exceeds the value of the County’s resources required to implement the program. 5. While certain analytical metrics may indicate a positive consequence, without annual review and ongoing oversight, implementation costs could surpass the initially estimated benefits. 6. Pursuant to Ulster County Administrative Code §A-2-9. Resolutions. “A. Adoption, amendment and repeal. The County Legislature may adopted, amend and repeal resolutions by a majority vote of the whole number of its members. Each resolution shall embrace only one subject and may relate to property or any other subject of County concern not required by the Charter or applicable law to be provided by local law. Resolutions shall not be subject to referenda. B. Procedure. Except as otherwise provided in the Charter, all procedural details relating to the adoption, amendment and repeal of resolutions shall be as provided in the Administrative Code or applicable law.” 7. Ulster County will be joining Federal, State and local officials throughout the Nation in the implementation of analytical metrics as part of their rule making procedures. 8. The local law should be amended to require standardized supplemental information be included upon filing certain resolutions approving the execution of contracts and contract amendments in excess of $50,000 entered into by the County for public services. SECTION 2. Section §A-2-9 (B) of Local Law

County Office Building, 244 Fair St. Kingston, New York. Review Process Pursuant to Section 303-a of NYS Agriculture and Markets Law 25AA, the Ulster County Legislature is required to review any agricultural district created under this section eight years after the date of its creation and the end of every eight year period thereafter. The review date for Agricultural District No. 4 is March 13, 2015. Description of District The District extends from Marbletown northward into Hurley and Ulster along the lands associated with the Esopus Creek and its floodplains that generally forms the District’s eastern limit. In Ulster, a continuous band of parcels is interrupted in an area where Interstate 87 (New York State Thruway), Interstate 587, State Route 28 and U.S. Highway 209 connect with one another. Westward, the District becomes more dispersed with around two dozen parcels scattered across Kingston, Woodstock, Olive and Shandaken. Northward, the District moves into the Town of Saugerties, continuing to encompass land around the Esopus Creek, until it turns eastward toward the Village of Saugerties, without entering the Village. Parcels located elsewhere in the Town of Saugerties tend to be found along its perimeter with a concentration found along the border with Greene County. Agricultural Farmland Protection Board (AFBP) Recommendations The Ulster County Agricultural and Farmland Protection Board (AFPB) has reviewed the district and recommends continuation of the district with modifications. The AFPB recommends that 15 parcels totaling 83 acres be removed from the District. Parcels recommended for removal meet the following criteria: parcels that show evidence of subdivision activity, and parcels no longer in active agricultural use. However, certain residential parcels are maintained within the District to provide buffers around active agricultural areas and easily identifiable district boundaries. Availability of Documents/ Questions A description of the process and the recommendations of the AFPB may be viewed in the County Planning Department office and on the County Planning Department website at http:// ulstercountyny.gov/agricultural_district_4_ review Questions should be directed to Burt Samuelson at 845-339-2490. Comments All parties and interested citizens will be heard by the Ulster County Legislature at this Public Hearing. Farmers within the District are urged to comment on and participate in the identification of appropriate district boundaries. Written

comments will be accepted at the public hearing or by mail and email no later than 7:00 P.M. on October 21, 2014 and should be directed to: Victoria Fabella, Clerk Ulster County Legislature 244 Fair Street PO Box 1800 Kingston, NY 12402-1800 Email: vfab@co.ulster.ny.us The Ulster County Legislature is committed to making its Public Meetings accessible to individuals with disabilities.

The last person to ask about the condition of your prospective home purchase is your Uncle Pete!

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.

Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity. Oh, Star of the Sea, help me and show me herein you are my mother. Oh, Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth! I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in this necessity. There are none that can withstand your power. Oh, show me herein you are my mother. Oh Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee (3x). Holy Mother, I place this cause in your hands (3x). Holy Spirit, you who solve all problems, light all roads so that I can attain my goal. You who gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me and that in all instances in my life you are with me, I want in this short prayer to thank-you for all things as you confirm once again that I never want to be separated from you in eternal glory. Thank-you for your mercy towards me and mine. The person must say this prayer 3 consecutive days, the request will be granted. This prayer must be published after the favor is granted.

A beautiful, sweet long-haired orange boy is available to join your family. Originally from a feral colony in Kingston, Finnegan has come a long way with his socialization skills while in his loving foster home. Finnegan is especially fond of other cats so his ideal forever home would be one with at least one other friendly cat. Finnegan also adores kittens and is a great babysitter. Finnegan is still a shy boy but he loves to be brushed, petted, and told how handsome he is. He is not a lap cat (yet) but is quiet, well-mannered, loves to play, and very easy to be with. Finnegan is neutered, up to date with his shots, and disease free. For more information about Finnegan, please call
