very good reason to fully enjoy life now.

After a traditional opening ceremony and a brief costume parade, Rosendale’s own DJ Ali and DJ Lemar Soulflower will turn on the sounds. A raffle and silent auction will be held; food and drinks will be available.

Circle of Friends for the Dying (CFD) is a non-profit group chartered to bring compassionate, competent, free end-oflife care for people with the prognosis of less than three months to live. The group hosts Death Cafes in venues around Ulster County to give people the opportunity to talk casually about their fears and concerns about death, and to become familiar with some of the choices we do have in the matter of dying. At Death Cafes, people hold candid conversations on what could be considered a morbid subject, normally spoken of in hushed tones. Interestingly, Death CafĂŠ attendees often come away feeling more alive than they did when they walked in the door.

They’ve had the chance to lighten up a bit and laugh. They’ve broken the taboo over mentioning the “Big D� out loud.

The upcoming benefit at BSP will help Circle of Friends provide holistic end-oflife care in a non-institutional atmosphere, free of charge to residents and their families. For sponsorship opportunities and gifting items for raffle or auction, email empress@chillmedianorth.com.

And watch the Calendar for upcoming Death Cafes. – Ann Hutton

MUSIC Tin Roof Sessions pairs Rhett Miller, Black Horse Riders

N

ew Paltz’ Tin Roof Sessions feature two performances per event, typically pairing a touring act with a sympathetic local and placing the two on level footing, inviting us to consider our native talent on the same terms and in the same light as the “name” acts that this little-venue-thatcould is often able to rope in, despite its bedroom dimensions. But let’s call the theme of October 26’s Tin Roof Session “Placement and Displacement,” for the bill on this autumn Sunday juxtaposes two senses of what we mean by local talent — the homegrown (Black Horse Riders) and the transplant (Rhett Miller), the former angling for attention beyond their home region, the latter setting down some pretty deep roots here after many storied years of music biz knockabout.

Black Horse Riders is the latest collaboration between singer and multiinstrumentalist Roland Hasbrouck — can’t get more local than that — and guitarist and co-writer Tim CurtisVerderosa. The pair previously co-fronted

Black Horse Riders

Black Horse Riders finding its resonance and relevance far beyond the Hudson Valley.

R

Rhett Miller

the popular earthy rock group Verdes, a band that not only was local but was largely about the local, the deus loci, via Hasbrouck’s historically-aware, layered and multi-racial poetry of place. On their eponymous five-song EP, Black Horse Riders craft a dark, luminous folk rock that manages to feel epic, narrative and broad despite its modest length. Themes of damnation and redemption abound, spiritual yearning in the myth-fired opener “There’s a Place,” and emotional and physical yearning in one of the EP’s real standouts, the rhapsodic lost-love rocker “Static Free.”

The reference points here, if you require them, are classic and none too arcane — the folk- and country-rock of early Neil Young sometimes crossing into a Mick Taylor-era Stones swagger; the beautiful loser crooning of a Gram Parsons partaking occasionally of the oracular and poetic authority of a Leonard

Cohen. Recorded with Kevin McMahon at New Paltz’ Marcata Studio, where many a dense and turbulent rock record has been tracked, Black Horse Riders is a haunted, rural mood piece with a hopeful finish.

Woody and reverberant, these mixes privilege Hasbrouck’s distinctive tenor, a plaintive, quavering, and swooping thing that thrives on all that air space and the roomy separation of elements.

Black Horse Riders can certainly be called ambient Americana with an implicit sense of historical moment, but it is most certainly not Ulster-cana in the way that duo’s past work might have been, as there is little here that fixes Hasbrouck and Curtis-Verderosa’s new songs in any specific place, and the time coordinates are left vague as well. It is a work that aspires to and achieves a sense of timeless personal and cultural struggle. We are still very much in the peak of the mytho-roots music movement, and one could easily see

hett Miller, on the other hand, has traveled far and wide to finally locate his work here in his adopted home. The long-time New Paltz-area resident came to fame as the winning, super-likable frontman and principal songwriter of Old 97’s, the Dallas band that pioneered the brighter, rambunctious side of alt-country and indie-twang (compared to more ruminative alt-roots peers such as, say, Uncle Tupelo).

Miller’s agreeable voice, his camerafriendly looks and his savant-level way with the words and paradoxes of love singled him out as a solo-career prospect, and for a number of years now this tireless, prolific bard has done both in strict alternation, as Old 97’s have hardly slowed down a single BPM in the new millennium. Miller used his early solo albums as a way to distance himself from the roots milieu. His first albums, The Instigator and the Believer are pretty slick affairs that, to borrow a phrase from the somewhat dubious Dawes song, bear the marks of time spent in Los Angeles and the Largo scene, in the company of producers on the order of Jon Brion (a frequent Miller collaborator) and George Drakoulias.

On 2012’s lovely solo effort The Dreamer, however, Miller “comes home” to a sweet and sad country-rock place. Truly one of our great poets of romantic ardor and romantic doubt, Miller commands the country weeper as if he were born for it.

But rather than going home to Texas to make this musical and stylistic gesture of return, Miller stayed home in Ulster, recovering his old roots on his new turf, recording with McMahon at Marcata, calling upon some local players as well.

The Dreamer is dry and immediate in all

the ways that Black Horse Riders is wet, verby and remote, highlighting Miller’s effortless melodies and the language that has always perched miraculously between the common and the poetic, the acute detail and the big sentiment.

Miller’s voice is so very agreeable, his word play so light on its feet and accessible, it is easy to ignore that his actual take on love is fraught with despair, terminal indecisiveness and a brutal, relentless self-interrogation.

Northern Dutchess Symphony opens 9th season

W

hen Kathleen Beckmann retired as orchestral director at Roosevelt High School in Hyde Park, she decided to look for a new project. A member of the Hudson Valley Philharmonic, she realized that she felt Dutchess County had room for another professional orchestra. That turned into the Northern Dutchess Symphony Orchestra, which she founded in 2006. The orchestra is now beginning its ninth season, devoted entirely to American music.

For the opening concert on Oct. 26, Beckmann selected her concert master, Marka Young, as soloist. In high school, Young had studied violin with Camilla Wicks, largely forgotten now but a legend among record collectors for her early LP recording of the Sibelius Violin Concerto. Wicks introduced the 18-year-old Young to Samuel Barber’s Violin Concerto. “I’ve loved it all my life and I never get tired of it,” Young says. “It’s so romantic but in a new language. It’s great to share the spotlight with the soloists in the orchestra, but it’s hard work for them.

The piece needs a really great trumpet player who can triple-tongue.”

Young is assistant concertmaster of the Hudson Valley Philharmonic and teaches at Vassar. She also plays the early baroque-configuration violin in two New York ensembles. “I’m a very local person,” she says. “As the mom of a 10-year-old I can’t go traveling the world right now.” But she plays as many local concerts as she can, including a chamber music “Sunday Salon” at Unison Learning Center in New Paltz this coming February.

The program also features “Wood Notes” by William Grant Still, the first widelyrecognized African-American composer of concert music, and the “Romantic” Symphony of Howard Hanson, the long-time director of the Eastman School of Music.

Psychedelic Cinema The Rosendale Theater will host a screening of Ken Brown’s ‘60s light show film, Psychedelic Cinema at 9:30 p.m., Saturday, October 25. Between 1967 and 1969, Brown shot super 8 films to project with the light show at Boston’s premiere rock club The Boston Tea Party. Brown’s films were pro-

The resulting films were cobbled together to make the current Psychedelic Cinema. Accompanying the film will be a live band, a Boston supergroup of silent film composers and independent musicians, including saxophonist Dana Colley of the band Morphine.

October 23, 2014

This year there’ll be 76 guitar builders exhibiting their wares at Bearsville. “The hand building community that we’ve got here, the best of the best,” says Rorick.

“It amazes me year after year, people come and buy guitars. Some start at $20,000 and they have a waiting list that’s four years long. The artistry gets better and better, people are still pushing the envelope as the guitar continues to evolve. I have people coming from Japan this year. One exhibitor has at least six clients from all over the world to pick up guitars that were ordered three, four years ago. The community continues with all its generosity, and spirit.”

The whole rollicking festival kicks off with a warm-up show featuring John Sebastian, Happy Traum, Kinloch Nelson, Craig D’Andrea and 19 year-old guitar picking prodigy Macyn Taylor on Thursday, October 23 at Club Helsinki Hudson. Friday is a set up day, but the displays and activities begin in earnest at 11 a.m. Saturday, October 25 at the Bearsville Theater. Performances start then in the theater’s lounge, with local and national players demonstrating for different guitar builders. Peter Einhorn kicks things off, Paul Asbell plays for two different builders; the magnificent Eddie Diehl surfaces for one of his two yearly performances at 12:30 p.m. He’ll have Lou Pappas on bass. Mark Dziuba plays for Kraut Guitars, Martin Keith displays his chops on his own instruments.

STAGE Side By Side By Sondheim at Shadowland

shadowlandtheatre.org.

New take on dinner theater

G

reat songcraft has a way of sneaking up on one, especially in the gloried realm of musical theater. It’s rare that true legends build out of more than a few hit shows. Like that of still-busy Stephen Sondheim, who is currently being celebrated in a strong production of the hit revue show Side By Side By Sondheim at Ellenville’s Shadowland Theatre through November 2.

Sondheim, a native New Yorker who wrote his first musical while still in high school, and apprenticed to the great lyricist Oscar Hammerstein II, started his half-century career writing lyrics for West Side Story and Gypsy while still in his twenties, and then hitting it big as a composer and lyricist with the now classic A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum in 1962. After several years finding his feet, while collaborating the best Broadway had to offer, Sondheim hit a stride with producer Harold Prince from 1970 into the early 1980s, creating such works as Company, Follies, A Little Night Music and Sweeney Todd, and then a second wind with James Lapine that produced, among other works, Sunday In The Park With George, Passion and Into The Woods, along with a Pulitzer Prize in Drama.

Being the consummate creative sort, he’s also written music for film, finished plays, produced, created books and crossword puzzles, and mentored others over his

route to eight Tony Awards, eight Grammy Awards, an Academy Award, Obies and that afore-mentioned Pulitzer Prize. Plus he’s still working, worrying whether his next work will be a hit or not.

Side By Side By Sondheim, now playing at Shadowland Thursdays through Sundays, came about as a favor for his friend, singer Cleo Laine, in the mid1970s and features works up until that

point, including such memorable songs as “Comedy Tonight,” “You Gotta Have A Gimmick,” “Broadway Baby,” and “Send In The Clowns.” Suffice it to say the work runs through a gamut of emotions with pizzazz and wit, and has long been considered a musical lover’s tour de force.

And Shadowland, being the region’s top Actor’s Equity theater, does it right as only Shadowland can.

— Paul Smart Side By Side By Sondheim through November 2, Thursdays through Saturdays at 8 p.m., Sundays at 2 p.m. Tickets are $39. Shadowland Theatre is at 157 Canal Street in Ellenville. Call 845-647-5511, for tickets or for more information, see www.

The Half Moon Theatre company of Poughkeepsie has found a new home at the Culinary Institute of America (CIA). All Half Moon Mainstage Productions will now be performed at the culinary college’s new 800-seat, stateof-the-art Ecolab Auditorium in the Marriott Pavilion, which means that audience members can enjoy a meal first on site at one of the CIA’s restaurants.

The American Bounty Restaurant specializes in contemporary and traditional regional dishes created with local products of the Hudson Valley, Ristorante Caterina de’ Medici serves authentic regional Italian cuisine and The Bocuse Restaurant is the Culinary’s sleek and contemporary French restaurant.

The CIA will offer a special pre-show, three-course, prix fixe menu prior to select performances at a cost of $39 per person.

Since many of the productions will feature food themes, the CIA’s chefs will create unique menus for specific performances, giving diners a special experience of the arts and a whole new take on “dinner theater.”

Ghostly goings-on Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival performs The Turn of the Screw at Beacon’s Howland Cultural Center, Boscobel in Garrison next week

O

ne of the melancholy notes that accompany the beauty of autumn’s onset in our region is the end of the busy summer theater season. In particular, it’s tough to say goodbye to the Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival (HVSF)’s outstanding annual selection of classic plays performed in rotation in the spectacular setting of Boscobel in Garrison, and occasionally in Beacon’s Howland Cultural Center.

If you’ve been wishing for just one more such show before the weather gets so almost-wintry that an outdoor performance is out of the question, here’s good news: HVSF is back next week, at both aforementioned venues, with a work admirably suited to the Halloween season: Jeffrey Hatcher’s 1996 stage adaptation of The Turn of the Screw.

Henry James’s 1898 novella about a governess charged with the care of two orphans in a creepy old manse is justly celebrated as the pinnacle of delicious Freudian/Gothic ambiguity. Is it really a ghost story, or a portrait of a woman coming unhinged? Why was the boy Miles expelled from school? What were Peter Quint and Miss Jessel, the two disgraced former employees at the estate, up to — both before and after they died? How much does Mrs. Grose, the housekeeper, know? Telling the spooky tale through the point-of-view of the late governess’ journal — a fine exemplar of the “unreliable narrator” — it’s James’s genius to leave his readers with many questions unnervingly unanswered.

One might think that transposing such a story to a visual medium without compromising its all-important narrative subjectivity would be a daunting challenge, but playwrights and screenwriters have found the material irresistible nonetheless.

Stage, TV and film versions abound, including a 1950 adaptation by William Archibald retitled The Innocents, revived on Broadway in 1976 with Harold Pinter directing and Claire Bloom starring. With Truman Capote collaborating with Archibald on the Edgar Award-winning screenplay, it became a movie directed by Jack Clayton and starring Deborah Kerr in 1961. Many a subsequent ectoplasmic horror movie — notably the 2001 Nicole Kidman vehicle The Others — claim The Turn of the Screw as a direct progenitor. Benjamin Britten even made it into an opera, and William Tuckett into a ballet.

Contemporary playwright Jeffrey Hatcher put a novel spin on the durable work by reshaping it for a cast of only two: one actress playing the governess (unnamed, as in the original) and another actor or actress morphing into all the other characters. New to his interpretation is the notion that the little girl Flora has gone entirely mute. It all seems like a challenging assignment for both actors (names as yet unannounced), not to mention director Gaye Taylor Upchurch. She’s also on tap to direct HVSF veteran Kurt Rhoads in a one-man show for the Festival next summer — Lisa Peterson and

debuted at Broadway cabaret 54 Below in New York City. Huffman is best known for originating the role of Ulla in The Producers opposite Matthew Broderick and Nathan Lane. She was also a judge on Iron Chef America for 10 years.

Tickets to the gala cost $200 with inclusion of a pre and post reception or $75 for just the show. The gala cocktail reception includes hors d’oeuvres and an open bar and a brief live auction before the performance at 7:30 p.m. followed by a dessert reception at 9 p.m. Festive cocktail attire is requested.

Tickets for the regular season of shows cost $35-$45. The first show will be The

World Goes Round, a musical revue of Kander and Ebb’s greatest Broadway hits including Cabaret, All That Jazz from Chicago and New York, New York, which will run from Saturday, November 1 through Sunday, November 16.

Opening Friday, December 5 will be It’s A Wonderful Life: The 1946 Live Radio Play, with performances through Saturday, December 20.

Following that will be Fully Committed, a comedy that follows a

Denis O’Hare’s An Iliad — so this assignment sounds like great prep work for the Off-Broadway regular.

Probably best-known for his stage adaptation of Mitch Albom’s book Tuesdays with Morrie, Hatcher’s work is also familiar to mid-Hudson theatergoers via a 2012 Mohonk Mountain Stage Company reading of Ten Chimneys and last summer’s production of his Three Viewings starring Stephanie Zimbalist at Shadowland in Ellenville. His 2008 stage adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson’s The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde — with four different actors embodying Hyde — copped an Edgar nomination for Best Play, and Hatcher’s screenwriting career has included authoring several episodes of the Peter Falk TV series Columbo.

Performances of HVSF’s production of The Turn of the Screw will begin at 7 p.m. from Wednesday through Saturday, October 29 to November 1, at Boscobel House and Gardens, with wisps of autumnal mist off the Hudson doubtless adding a bit of spine-tingling atmosphere. But if you really want to see this tale enacted in the ideal haunted-house setting, don’t miss the single performance at the Howland Cultural Center, located at 477 Main Street in Beacon, on Tuesday, October 28 beginning at 7:30 p.m.

The former library was designed in the 1870s by Richard Morris Hunt, but the words “Victorian” or “Gothic” utterly fail to capture the architectural quirks of this ornate turreted building, which is faced with red brick on the first story, fishscale shingles on the second and half-timbered on its front gable. Indeed, its style has proven nearly impossible to categorize: Historians have variously described its influences as Picturesque, Polychrome, Stick-style or Norwegian Vernacular. With its soaring, hammerbeam-vaulted ceiling and its walls lined with the original built-in wooden bookshelves, the Howland’s interior space is the perfect setting to stage a story in which mysterious buildings themselves seem to embody brooding, ominous, perhaps malevolent characters.

You may not go mad or see child-molesting ghosts, but you’re sure to wallow in the flavor of this classic tale of psychological horror at the Howland. It’s a rare opportunity, not to be missed.

MOVIE

A cryptic character Benedict Cumberbatch brilliantly recreates codebreaker Alan Turing in The Imitation Game

T

he Woodstock Film Festival (WFF)’s raison d’etre is to expose audiences to “fiercely independent” movies that they’re unlikely to encounter at their local multiplex, and it achieves that mission consistently well. Thus many of the Festival’s offerings are self-funded projects whose producers can’t afford to include big-name actors, fancy sets, props and costumes or state-of-the-art visual effects. Usually they’re still rewarding to the viewer, even if marred by a wooden performance by an inexperienced actor here or a continuity error there. We forgive them their faults and cheer the talented unknown filmmakers on to bigger and better achievements in the future.

and computer science pioneer Alan Turing, backed by a uniformly brilliant cast of co-stars. It has “Oscar-worthy” written all over it — a notion advanced by WFF’s Meira Blaustein when she introduced the film and echoed throughout the audience as we walked out.

And yet this is a movie that almost didn’t get made, kicked around Hollywood for years and topping the legendary Black List survey of most-impressive unproduced scripts in 2011. Warner Brothers wanted to (mis)cast Leonardo DiCaprio in it, but let go of the rights when that actor (praise the celluloid gods!) backed out of the project. Ron Howard and David Yates were among the A-list directors showing interest during earlier stages of the project’s development. The fact that most American audiences don’t know Tyldum’s previous work marginally qualifies this production as an indie long shot, I suppose; but the top-shelf actors will certainly pull people in, and they will not regret the experience.

The stars truly aligned for the marketing of The Imitation Game — already in the can by then — when Queen Elizabeth II issued Turing a posthumous Royal Pardon on Christmas Eve of 2013. You see, Alan Turing’s key role in deciphering the Nazi navy’s ever-changing Enigma code during World War II was kept from public knowledge for decades by Britain’s Official Secrets Act; and the man, who should have been lionized as a war hero as well as a scientific genius, died in disgrace in 1954 at the age of 41. After the war his homosexuality became public and he was prosecuted for “gross indecency” by an ungrateful British government.

Forced to undergo estrogen treatment as an alternative to prison, Turing soon died of cyanide poisoning — though whether it was suicide or accidental remains a matter of debate, since he used cyanide in some of his laboratory work.

Based on Andrew Hodges’ book Alan Turing: The Enigma, Moore’s screenplay takes some liberties with the story of how exactly the Enigma code was cracked and the dominance of Turing’s contribution to the top-secret project.

For instance, the cryptanalysis machine constructed at Bletchley Park, known as the “bombe,” shown in the film as a single contraption invented singlehandedly by Turing, manifested in real life as more than 200 machines adapted from earlier Polish designs. A subplot involving the penetration of the Government Code and Cypher School by a Soviet mole is conjectural at best, though Turing himself was suspected of espionage during the overheated Cold War atmosphere of the early ‘50s.

The movie also portrays Turing as manifesting rather extreme symptoms of Asperger’s syndrome, a man utterly unable to grasp the social cues of others. In fact, much of the movie’s surprisingly pungent humor revolves around the premise that Turing himself had no sense of humor whatsoever — whereas at least one of his acquaintances, writer Alan Garner, has remembered him as “funny and witty.”

But no matter; certainly Turing was known in his time as an eccentric, a driven man, superior, argumentative and offputting to some. And even if he wasn’t the only key player in the deciphering of Enigma, his genius, the originality of his approaches to solving a thorny problem, remains undeniable. Cumberbatch takes the screenwriter’s conception of the character and runs with it for all he’s worth — literally, in the scenes where Turing, also a world-class marathon runner, furiously pounds the paths at Bletchley Park as he’s working out some frustrating design flaw — bringing this mystery man vividly to life. It’s clearly a role that the actor wanted badly; he has said in interviews that he “tracked” the project even while DiCaprio was still attached to it, and he did his homework so well that Turing’s great-nephew has been

FILM

UPAC in Kingston screens Nosferatu with live organ accompaniment on Friday

O

ne of the great conceits of locally based filmmaker Jim Jarmusch’s vampire reverie, Only Lovers Left Alive, was the cool ennui that the timeless must live with as they discern and hold onto the best that mankind has created over the years. Classic old films, analogue recording equipment, musty old books and the decaying city of Detroit — along with its cars — all make the eternal grade.

That makes the Ulster Performing Arts Center (UPAC)’s choice of the very first vampire movie — W. F. Murnau’s 1922 Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror — such a perfect choice as the first silent film to be shown with organ accompaniment there since the 1950s. It’s also a grand way to kick off its seventh season of Friday Night Film Classics at the biggest venue between the City and Albany on October 14.

“They took the original organ and pipes out from the old Broadway Theater at some point in the 1950s,” said John Vanderlee of the New York Theater Organ Society, which is bringing in a new portable digital organ for the occasion after a weekend inspection of the classic 1920s-era theater space. “From what I’ve been able to tell, the pipes were on the left, behind a screen in the wall, and were replaced with a heating system. Unfortunately, after sound films came in, most places stopped using their organs and, they being mechanical, they started decaying soon after from disuse.”

Set to play with the film on a portable Allen GW 319 EX Digital Theater Organ will be Juan Cardona, Jr., house organist at the Bardavon for over ten years and the staff organist at the Thomaston Opera House for 15 years now. He said that, although this performance will be his first visit to UPAC, it will be a return to one of his favorite films and film scores.

“I attack each film as a clean canvas, watching it several times as it reminds me of pieces of music — none too obvious, so I can accentuate themes and make the work speak, as it were,” said Cardona. “Yet even though I’ll have played this film many times before, with all the same material at hand, it also changes each time I perform.”

That, Cardona added, is where the glory of silent film music continues to be its own thing, and the actuality of seeing such a joint performance of film and live music its own artform.

“I encourage audiences to be part of it, cheering and booing what happens on screen,” Cardona noted, after also pointing out how importantly the room — each theater — also plays into the experience.

“Back in the day, there were some films that had live orchestral scores, and many that worked with pianists. But then, as the bigger palaces got built for ever-larger

audiences, the thing was to bring in bigger and better theater organs,” said Vanderlee, addressing the golden days of film venues some 90 years ago. “To play those organs there were star organists, each of whom would essentially create his own scores for the films he’d play with.”

All of that was to end with the 1927 release of The Jazz Singer, bar a short hi-fi enthusiast’s revival in the early days of long-playing records in the 1950s, when the old pipe organs were treasured as the only instrument with a vast enough rage to match the new acumen of recorded sound — and a much more recent revival, as with Jarmusch’s vampire aesthetes, for all things grand and analogue.

So what of Nosferatu, that original vampire film?

First off, it was made by the man whom many now see as silent film’s greatest visual genius and master of moods: the German great Murnau. Think perfect timing, mist-enshrouded mountains and castles, spooky carriages and fast-moving night shadows. But then there was its singular star, Max Schreck, whom myths have since made into a mysterious vampire himself.

Need we say more beyond the fact that future Friday Night films, in whose company Nosferatu will sit, include The Wizard of Oz on November 21, Some Like It Hot on February 20, Stop Making Sense on March 6, E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial on March 27 and Blazing Saddles on April 17? Ah, yes — vampires get in free!

‘I attack each film as a clean canvas, watching it several times as it reminds me of pieces of music — none too obvious, so I can accentuate themes and make the work speak, as it were…’

quoted as saying that the actor “knows things that I never knew before” about the man. he onscreen narrative moves back and forth in time among his years on the Enigma project; his bullied youth as the “weird kid” at a boarding school, where he first discovers his homosexuality as he falls in love with a sympathetic friend; and his pursuit and arrest later in life by a dogged pair of detectives. One of the latter becomes intrigued by the way that Turing’s mind works during an interrogation session, when the cryptographer engages him in the titular game that he devised to distinguish computer “thinking” from human intelligence.

That’s the narrative framing device, but most of the story plays out at Bletchley Park. Even knowing the outcome as we do, the race against time to get Turing’s machine to work properly is pretty tense thriller material that will be especially meaningful to anyone who has ever done research (or any work, really) whose continuance depends upon the whims of government funding. Even when the key to the Nazi codes is found, the core group of cryptographers, along with their project supervisors in the British military and MI6, are faced with painful decisions about how much intercepted information can be shared and how many lives saved without alerting the German

T

navy to the fact that their system has been compromised.

The Enigma group scenes shine, largely on account of the thespian talent and chemistry concentrated in the ensemble cast. Matthew Goode is charmingly caddish as Turing’s main rival, project team captain Hugh Alexander. Mark Strong as Major General Stewart Menzies gets one of the best lines in the script, briskly denying the existence of MI6 even as he’s introduced as the researchers’ liaison to that agency. Fans of Downton Abbey and the HBO series Rome will be pleased to see the talented Irish actor Allen Leech as John Cairncross, a team member with a secret that his bosses may or may not know about. And any Game of Thrones geek who feels bereft that Tywin Lannister will not return in Season Five, except possibly for his funeral or some flashbacks, will rejoice to know that the great Charles Dance’s character in The Imitation Game, Commander Alistair Denniston, shares Lord Tywin’s imperious, cagey and sarcastic personality.

with Dance in it is among the funniest in the movie, and it’s particularly satisfying to see him overruled by Churchill himself when Denniston wants to pull the plug on the project.

There’s a “romantic” subplot of sorts as well, in which Turing becomes engaged to Joan Clarke, the only woman admitted to the codebreaking group, in order to circumvent her parents’ objections to her working in an all-male environment (for security reasons, she’s not allowed to tell them the critical nature of her work).

Keira Knightley believably endows the role with intelligence to match Turing’s own and a simpatico that helps him transition,

awkwardly but determinedly, into a man who can work productively with a team, rather than always in isolation.

The film is highly unusual in its refreshing depiction of a deep bond between a man and a woman, not related to one another, that is totally based on mutual respect for each other’s intellect and shared work goals rather than sexual attraction. It’s also a must-see for anyone with a loved one on the autism spectrum; I’ve never seen a more positive such role model onscreen than this flawed character whose “difference” makes all the difference in the world to a world at war.

ART Henrietta Mantooth’s ‘Jailbirds & Flowers’

H

enrietta Mantooth makes big, gutsy paintings that brim with life. Figures, often arranged in crowds or family groupings, animals and birds, flowers and other nature imagery are depicted in colorful gobs and swirls of paint. She paints ordinary people — refugees, rebels, farmers, displaced families — from around the globe whose stories of displacement are culled from the news but are distilled into narratives that explore the essence of the human condition. The story-telling is never literal but from the heart and hand; the paint itself, in blooms of deep red, blue or green, intermingled with black, is raw, expressive, and direct, evocative of the combines and collages of Robert Rauschenberg in their dynamic pairing of the graphic and painterly and of the figure-packed canvases of German Expressionist Max Beckmann in their composition and pathos. Mantooth describes her work as a kind of “witnessing,” in which her protagonists have a voice and victimhood and grief are replaced by empowerment and joy. Her figures are embraced and released by nature; flowers bloom and birds glide amid the floating faces or confining grids.

Mantooth, who divides her time between New York City and Lake Hill in Woodstock, is now having a solo show at the Byrdcliffe Kleinert/James Center for the Arts. “Henrietta Mantooth: Jailbirds & Flowers,” which opens Friday, October 24, followed by a talk by the artist at 3 p.m. Saturday, October 25 and opening reception from 4 p.m.-6 p.m. that day, is inspired by the inequities and unsafe conditions of the nation’s prisons. The centerpiece of the show is two large installations, entitled Jailbird and The New Jim Crow, which depict birds behind bars. A panel discussion with experts on the New York State prison system will take place on November 15.

Mantooth’s work reflects a long, rich, extraordinarily creative life. Born in Kansas City, Missouri, the artist, who is approaching 90, spent 18 years in Latin America working first as a journalist and then as a painter. She studied with cubist Andre Lhote in Paris during a sevenmonth sojourn in Europe and settled in New York City in the mid 1950s, where she acted and designed sets for Circle Rep theater company. She taught at York College — The City University of New York, in Jamaica, Queens, for 15 years, and has been the recipient of grants from the Joan Mitchell Foundation, the American Academy of Arts and Letters, the Pollack-Krasner Foundation, and the New York Foundation for the Arts, among other organizations. Her work has been shown at the Queens Museum of Art, the Sao Paulo Biennial, the Museums of Modern Art in Sao Paulo and Bahia, Brazil, and numerous galleries in New York and other cities in the U.S., Brazil, and Italy. Mantooth speaks fluent Spanish and Portuguese and is a member of Actors Equity and SAG.

lmanac’s Lynn Woods recently spoke to Mantooth, who was at her home in New York, by phone.

LW: Describe your installations at the Kleinert.

A

you boil onions you could make yellow. We had a lot of fun because nobody bothered us. Nobody paid us much attention but nobody discouraged us either.

HM: Jailbirds and The New Jim Crow are on the stage area and on the sides are a couple of paintings concerning jailbirds. The rest of the show consists of my general work. The installations are on brown paper and corrugated cardboard and are painted with acrylic; the others are a combination of canvas and paper and some have drawing.

I’ve worked a lot doing visuals for theater with very open-minded directors, where I’d paint the whole floor. That’s kind of influenced my studio painting.

LW: You use the simplest of materials in your art.

HM: It comes from my childhood. When I was a kid, my sister and I were left alone during the day because my parents had to work. We spent summers in a big house in the country and there was a big mud hole out front. We used any materials we had —cardboard, paper, Big Chief tablets [bought at the five and dime]. We made objects out of mud and corn silk. We made paints out of bluing, which was used to make clothes look white, and berries from a mulberry bush; my sister discovered if

LW: Bars and birds would seem to represent opposite ideas.

HM: I want to explore how it feels to be behind bars when you cannot fly away.

Birds are often in cages, and while most in our environment are treated with respect and care, prisoners behind bars are not treated with respect. You are liable to be treated not only with disrespectful words but also physical violence, including sexual abuse. Right now the U.S. has the largest prison population of all so-called Western countries. It’s become a big business. The more people who are in jail, the more income, and a lot of people are in jail who’ve done minor actions, like stolen a pair of jeans. According to the book The New Jim Crow, the great majority of prisoners are black or Hispanic. I spoke to a person the other day who works in the prisons in New York and she said in her ten years of working there, she’s only had two Caucasians.

LW: What are the roots of your interest in issues of social justice?

HM: I was political even as a kid. It was the time of the Great Depression and there was a lot of poverty. I grew up with lot of racial prejudice, because Kansas City was very segregated. I had a couple of uncles who at age 15 and 16 became morphine addicts. They were country boys, and one got on morphine when he went to the dentist. I watched these uncles go in and out in jail, get picked up as vagrants, and sent to a place called The Farm. They were the nicest two people on that side of the family, and they ended up really badly.

My sister was three years older and a wonderful artist. I thought art belonged to her and I should choose something else. Since I had to make a living, I chose journalism. I went to Latin America and

got a job as a stringer for The New York Times, then a paper based in Venezuela.

I was there when the country had its first democratically elected government, in the late 1940s.

I was very involved in politics. I got this great job in Venezuela traveling around with a photographer interviewing farm families. We’d go out in a Jeep and I’d write up my interviews for the local papers, which sometimes were sent to the U.S.

LW: What made you switch to art?

HM: The government had been overthrown by a dictatorship, and I protested at the university, which was then closed. I said to my boss, ‘can’t you send me someplace,’ and he sent me to Brazil for two months. My job was to go out to the farming and fishing communities and interview these people. In the meantime I met an American journalist there and we got married. My boss gave me two months off to get used to marriage. It’s the first time I didn’t have to think about money.

I had gotten a grant and I started drawing live models three nights a week. It was a great adjustment and probably saved my marriage.

I kept my job, but little by little I began seeing people more visually, how clothes fell on a body, how a kid held his mother’s skirt, the way a person’s feet were planted on the ground. I eventually quit my job and went to Europe for seven months.

LW: What did you do in Europe?

HM: I studied with the cubist André Lhote in Paris, did a print workshop, and drew from the model, working 18 hours a day. Then I went to Italy and spent time in Florence. I stayed in small inns or people’s houses or in convents. Then I went to Greece. Then I went back to Brazil, where my husband was.

LW: What brought you to New York?

HM: I was very intrigued with the New York School and the Abstract Expressionists. I used to come to New York, sometimes with friends, from Brazil.

We’d land at the airport at 7 a.m. and be in class at the Art Students League by 9 am. I would stay two or three months.

Technique bounced off me like a magnet, in the other direction. I studied with Morris Kantor. The schools gave me a place to paint, make friends and get some guidance. Eventually I moved to New York and lived on the Upper West Side.

LW: How did you get into theater?

HM: An African-American woman who lived nearby and was married to a white actor called me and said she wanted to connect theater with the arts. I agreed to do a show in the lobby of the Circle Repertory Company theater, [located in a loft] on the Upper West Side. [The company was founded in 1969 by director Marsha Mason and playwright Lansford Wilson, among others, and throughout the 1970s presented many of the era’s most important new plays.] When I walked into the lobby with the little 8x10 photos of actors, I said ‘I have to paint [this space].’

I painted the upstairs and downstairs lobby with my two sons and their friends, and I’d hear these workshops. It was so interesting, and I got into these workshops eventually and became a member of the acting company. I also did sets. We just did an audio version of Hot L Baltimore

it’s difficult because she’s ill and I’m not great [recovering from a fall].

LW: Do you still do theater?

HM: I created a theater piece with actors and dancers in which the art pieces are part of the performance. It might be a paper sculpture a dancer would dance with. It’s with dancers, poets, and actors.

In the last three years I’ve also taken three workshops in short story writing.

LW: What keeps your creative juices flowing over so many decades?

HM: I have a fascination with people. I grew up in a dramatic environment, in which everyone was in trouble in one way or another, either with their marriage or their job, and I was sympathetic to them.

I never seemed to blame anybody for anything. People give me a lot. They’re full of ideas. I belong to an intergenerational feminist group, and the other day I got an idea to do a visual piece with another member who’s young and black, while I’m old and white.

It will probably be a visual thing with self performance, probably in a gallery.

[The creative process] is not that orderly. [For example,] a Brazilian dancer and I once did a wonderful three-part evening performance in a show called New Choreographers at Cubiculo, [an off-off-Broadway experimental playhouse in New York City in the 1980s], which was like a black box. She and I performed, plus I did the visual, which were paper pieces she danced with. A big roll of red paper covered the whole stage and we used visual things in odd ways. She would go on stage, rehearsing in the space, and I’d say ‘yes that’s good,’ then I would do stuff and she’d watch and do an improvisation.

That’s my basic way of working.

LW: You’ve said that painting is about bravery. Could you explain?

HM: Sometimes you have to destroy something you’ve already done. Picasso said painting is a series of destructions, and that’s what is it is for me. To feel art takes the same kind of bravery. You have to let go of your fixed ideas.

It’s about bravery and about hope. I do have lot of hope for the world. Not that I don’t get depressed, I’ve gone to therapy for years, but hope does seem to rise. If you can just get in touch with your materials, then hope and energy and love come back. Sometimes you just pick up a brush and put some black paint on a piece of brown paper. Henry Miller said to paint is to love again. I feel that with people.

LW: How have you survived financially as a creative person?

HM: It’s still not easy. I’ve gotten some big grants that have helped me enormously. I’ve taught and [money comes in from] here and there. I was married for 43 years and my husband was very supportive. I’d have a show and he’d take the flyers around.

LW: You lived in Latin America for 18 years.

What’s the biggest difference between that culture and ours here in the U.S.?

HM: One of the first shocks when I came back to the U.S. was that people here don’t hug each other. In Latin America people always embraced, kissed, held hands, and touched each other. Seven years ago I went to an artist’s residency in Bahia. I went on a trip to country towns and I remember this little girl standing by me and she’s touching my arm as if I’m a flower. That sense of touch and expressiveness was so wonderful. I came back to the U.S. and almost had a nervous breakdown. Here people now kiss each other, but it’s still not the same. We don’t have that feeling for the body that the Latins do.

There will be a talk by the artist at 3 p.m. Saturday, October 25 followed by an opening reception, 4 pm.-6 p.m.and a Panel discussion on the New York prison system from 3p.m.-5 p.m. Saturday, November 15.

‘Birds are often in cages, and while most in our environment are treated with respect and care, prisoners behind bars are not treated with respect…’ [the award-winning Lansford Wilson play, a leading production of Circle Rep in the 1970s].

LW: How did theater affect your art?

HM: It informs me all the time. Everything I learned on stage was the best advantage and experience in my life. It’s concentrated living, and you can practice the same things in your life. One thing I learned in being an actor is you can’t blab about what you are working on. You share it once you’re on stage, you don’t dribble out your energy. If you keep something and let it develop in you, it gets very powerful.

Eventually I said ‘I’ve got to stop theater,’ because I didn’t have time to do my painting. It’s as if I was pregnant: I had ideas and had to get them out. I left acting for a while and went back into my studio. A friend at Circle Rep who’s a technical person asked me to do set for City University in Jamaica, Queens.

Barbara Nickolich was the director of theater and art at York College [and now professor emeritus] and she hired me immediately. We’re still working on a visual piece about Nostradamus, although

“I’M SO GLAD I live in a world where there are Octobers.” ~ L. M. Montgomery

Stylish scarecrows at Frog Alley ruins

M

ost scarecrows have an appearance that reflects their makeshift origins, made from hay-stuffed grain sacks and adorned with floppy sunhats and bandannas along with whatever else was on hand at the farm where crops needed protecting. But if the purpose of a scarecrow is to imitate a human presence and intimidate the birds, shouldn’t they look more like regular people?

Wouldn’t a department store mannequin make just as effective a scarecrow, or an effigy in suit and tie?

This theory can be tested out on Saturday, October 25 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. (rain or shine) when the third annual Scarecrows at Frog Alley event returns to the site of the ruins of the Louw-Bogardus house in Kingston, off North Front Street, adjacent to the Wiltwyck Fire Station in the Stockade Historic District.

In what seems an appropriate location for a pre-Halloween event, scarecrows creatively crafted by local residents will welcome visitors and compete for prizes awarded for Best Design, Most Original Concept and Most Frightening Creation. New this year will be a pie contest, as well, with prizes awarded for Best Tasting, Most Attractive, Most Unusual and Best Organic Pie. There will be plenty of fall-themed photo opportunities, with wooden pumpkin cutouts placed strategically on site and a pumpkin patch donated by the Local Economies Project, and farm animals from the Forsyth Nature Center will visit from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The event is a joint endeavor of the Junior League of Kingston and Friends of Historic Kingston (FOHK). The latter are the custodians of the ruined site, having purchased what was left of the 17th-century Louw-Bogardus house in the 1970s to save it from the wrecking ball. Today the nonprofit preserves the property as an outdoor historical teaching venue and small park.

There’s something fascinating about a ruined property in the questions it raises and the lack of complete answers, allowing one to fill in the blanks with imagination. But the history of the Louw-Bogardus ruin is actually fairly well documented. It’s one of the oldest known sites of a working sawmill and gristmill in the region. The original section on the right hand side of the property was built — most likely in the 1660s — by a laborer named Pieter Cornelissen Louw, who had a milling business.

By the end of the American Revolution the property belonged to the Bogardus family, who were masons. After serving as rental property from 1816 to 1929, it was sold to a Harold Shaw, and remained occupied until it was gutted by a fire in the 1960s, three centuries after it was built.

And Frog Alley? Well, that name came about literally, from the land being used as a footpath at one time that traveled through a swamp populated with frogs. When Friends of Historic Kingston bought the ruins in 1975, the Common Council voted to change the name of the street from Converse Street back to its original moniker of Frog Alley.

And for those who’d like to make a complete day and evening out of it, a short walk over to the Old Dutch Church at 272 Wall Street at 2 p.m. will yield a community pumpkin carving event that begins just as the Scarecrows at Frog Alley comes to a close. The church is hosting what they call a hands-on pumpkin carving fellowship, with refreshments and a screening of the 1949 movie version of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow following the pumpkin carving. A simple supper will be available at 4:30 p.m. and after the movie, at 6 p.m., take a tour of the pumpkin-lit church cemetery. Everything needed for the event will be provided.

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

Getting the jump on winter

M

uch colder weather has been sneaking in and out of the garden but leaving traces of its presence with some blackened leaves on frost-sensitive plants and threatening to brazenly show itself in full force sometime soon.

This fall I vow to put all in order before that event rather than, on some very cold night, running around, flashlight in hand, gathering and protecting plants.

Before even getting to the plants, drip irrigation must be readied for winter.

Main lines and drip lines can remain outdoors but right near the spigot, the timer, the filter, and pressure reducer must be brought indoors where they won’t freeze. I plug the inlet for the drip’s main line to keep out curious insects. At the far end of the line is a cap that I loosen enough to let water drain out. Opening all other valves along the line leaves no dead ends in which freezing water could expand to break lines.

Begonia, amaryllis, Maid of Orleans jasmine (Jasminium sambac), and other topical plants are next in importance.

Being near the radiating warmth of the house has spared them recent slightly frosty nights. Colder temperatures would not be so kind. I snap the stems off the begonias right at ground level and put the pots in the basement where cool temperatures will keep the tubers dormant to wait out winter. Amaryllis plants also go into the basement. Cool temperatures and lack of water for a couple of months give these plants the rest period they need so that, brought upstairs to a warm, sunny window, their blossoms can show off their bright, red color against the achromatic winter landscape beyond.

Maid of Orleans jasmine right away gets a prominent place in a sunny window to share its nonstop, sweet

fragrant blossoms.

Fig, pineapple guava, Chilean guava, and pomegranate are subtropical plants that tolerate temperatures down into the teens, and can remain outdoors for weeks to come. Still, many of these plants are in large pots, not something I want to be lugging around following at last minute threat of frigid temperatures. So I’ll gather them together in a convenient location for quick dispatch indoors when needed.

The guavas, as well as kumquat and common jasmine (Jasminium officinale), are evergreen subtropical plants. The leaves are important to these plants both for beauty and for function so they’ll make the move indoors before the other subtropicals to make sure their leaves go into winter undamaged.

Common jasmine stays out longest because some exposure to cold is needed to get blossoms in winter.

The vegetable garden is still green with endive, kale, lettuce, turnips, Brussels sprouts, arugula, and other cold-hardy vegetables. Soon, though, their cold tolerances will be tested.

I’ll pre-empt that testing by covering some of the beds with tunnels of fabric (“fleece” to the Brits, “floating row covers” to us colonists) or clear plastic. No need yet to cover the plants but better to have the metal hoops which support the fleece or plastic in place and ready for the covering before that frigid night to come.

Not all hardy vegetables get covered; just the leafy ones — lettuce, mustard, arugula, and endive — for fresh salads in the weeks to come. Brussels sprouts and kale are so cold hardy that they can go for weeks without protection, and,

anyway, they’re too tall to cover. Leeks also can stay outdoors unprotected until December, or later, then get dug up and packed together in a box or large pot to store in the basement and use as needed.

Carrots, beets, turnips, and winter radishes enjoy the protection of the earth. With a deep mulch of leaves or straw, they could remain tender and unfrozen all winter. More convenient for eating is to dig them up just before really frigid weather descends on the garden and pack them in boxes with dry leaves to store in the cool temperatures of the basement. I’m putting off deciding which option to choose.

Common jasmine stays out longest because some exposure to cold is needed to get blossoms in winter.

Someone recently told me that they gardened maniacally all summer and now they are finished for the season…which reminds me of some more things that I still have to do. Plant garlic. I planted cloves back in early September; a second planting, now, will give some indication if early or late planting is better. Mulch blueberries as soon as their leaves all drop. Sift

NIGHT SKY

Colors in the sky They tell amazing tales

A

s the final fall colors fade, we can get a “refill” by looking up. And when it comes to the sky, we learn a lot from its colors.

Start with a cloudless day. We all know that deep blue means clean dry air while a milky sky is the sure sign of moisture.

This is true because tiny water droplets reflect all the sun’s colors equally. When red, green, and blue light strike us simultaneously the mix looks milky white. Since October is one of our drier months, the sky tends to be deep blue far more often than in July.

Now check out the stars, say at 10 p.m. The brightest are Vega, halfway up the western sky, Capella, low in the northeast, and Aldebaran, rising in the east. Their pastel tints are obvious at a glance: blue, white, and orange.

Each has meaning. Capella’s whiteness tells us that it emits all colors equally. It precisely matches the color of our own sun. A blue star like Vega is always super-hot; a ruddy star like Aldebaran is cool. The temperature indicates the rate at which the star’s nuclear furnace consumes fuel, which is a function of mass. So, heavy stars are blue. Their rapid consumption of hydrogen makes the star “burn itself out” quickly, and this gives yet another morsel of information: Blue stars are always young stars, because they die in their adolescence. All this from a quick glance at a star’s color.

People sometimes wonder why a reddish star should be cool, when things glow red when they’re hot. But think: When you heat a piece of metal it first starts glowing a dull red. As it gets hotter it becomes orange, then yellow, and then white. It would turn blue when it got super-hot, except that it melts first, before this can happen.

Meteor colors are yet another story. Here we have a “flame test” for the meteor’s composition. A green meteor might indicate an unusually high copper content. Indeed, green is a rare sky color except for auroras. The Northern Lights are mostly green because that’s the dominant color oxygen emits when it’s stimulated.

Auroras appear on other planets, too, especially Jupiter and Saturn. But on no other do they appear green. A green aurora is a tell-tale sign of abundant oxygen. And since

A blue star like Vega is always super-hot; a ruddy star like Aldebaran is cool.

copious free oxygen only occurs on a planet that has plants to produce it, seeing a green glow on a far-away world would be a wonderful clue that it may harbor life.

O

ther colors materialize in the sky too, and each is a lesson in physics. Sky colors at dawn and dusk come from Rayleigh scattering, which means that shorter bluer waves bounce around much more easily than redder ones. When the sun is low or just below the horizon, each color or wavelength gets scattered differently during its long path through our air, so that colors separate rather than combine, letting us see the sun’s emissions individually rather than scrambled together.

Colors on the fringes of white clouds that are near the sun come from a different process — diffraction. Here, light’s waves interfere with other waves, to cancel out some colors entirely and produce new ones. The result is a dramatic modern art display of pink, aqua, maroon, and brown fringes. These colors are not created within the sun.

These are new colors, concocted colors, colors created by blending and destruction. It’s a very special process.

Colorful rings and arcs in the sky come from yet another process, the bending of light rays, called refraction. Around the sun or moon (i.e. a halo), red is always on the inside of the ring. But a rainbow, whose arc is centered on the spot opposite the sun in the sky - has violet or blue on the inside of the arc. Such haloes and rainbows always display spectral colors, the same ones that prisms project onto walls. They’re the actual colors emitted by the sun, not newly concocted ones.

Screening of Emma: A Play in Two Acts about the American Anarchist

W

hen Howard Zinn’s Emma: A Play in Two Acts about Emma Goldman played to sold-out crowds at Woodstock’s Byrdcliffe Theater ten years ago, local director Bruce Grund had the foresight to capture the last show on film. Zinn happened to be in the audience along with a dozen of his friends and family members that night. It was a highlight event for the cast and crew to receive the indomitable American historian/ author/social activist’s heartfelt approbation, recorded for posterity by cameraman Malachi Roth. Now Emma will be screened publicly for the first time at Art Society of Kingston (ASK) on Friday, October 24 at 7 p.m. The 2 ½ hour long screening will include an intermission and Q&A at the end of the evening.

First performed in 1976, the play tells of the real Emma Goldman, a turn-of-the-last-century anarchist whose revolutionary notions about sexual liberation and gender equality were prescient to the struggles that women would fight for decades. In addition to speaking out on the general terms of economic disparity and the oppression of the poor, she ranted about birth control, the institution of marriage, and free love; she disdained the suffragette movement out of the feeling that all governments should be deconstructed, so why be bothered with Naomi Hard as Emma Goldman in 2004 production of Emma, now showing in film. winning the right to vote in one? “She wanted to live [life], not as the rules and regulations and authorities were telling her how to approached her to do the part, I went through six months of further casting. She had to be there for each audition. It was almost a year before we got it all together. We live it,” wrote the playwright Zinn.

Zinn discovered Goldman by chance — this, after having earned a doctorate degree had to relight the theater, remodel the dressing rooms. All this was funded out of my in history — and was astonished that so little had been written about the woman he own pocket — I had extra funds at the time. Not anymore. We had a great banner called “magnificent…this anarchist, this feminist, fierce, life-loving person.” Using made that hung in Woodstock for three weeks before the play opened.

Goldman’s autobiography, Living My Life, along with correspondence between her “At the very end, we presented the banner to Howard Zinn. He said our performance and fellow anarchist Alexander Berkman and other sources, Zinn dramatized the — the play had been done in Boston, New York, London, and Tokyo — was the most life and character of the immigrant who worked in a textile factory under conditions moving production.

Never heard Malachi Roth used four cameras and a lot of editing on this film. It’s visually engaging, of it.’ I took it home, and it was love at first read.” When asked if his understanding not just a flat, one-camera rendition.” At ASK, Emma will be shown on a big screen. of the iconic character of Goldman has changed or expanded since his production of The cast in Grund’s production included Naomi Hard in the lead role of Emma the play a decade ago, Grund points to Vivian Gornick’s biography, Emma Goldman: Goldman with Alexandra Angeloch, Pablo Vasquez, Joe Bongiorno, David Kraai, Revolution as a Way of Life and explains how much more he’s learned. “Goldman Patricia Martin, Robert Burke Warren, Dean Schambach, Abigail Robin, and Frank was influenced by Peter Kropotkin, who thought human beings evolved through Serpico, each playing multiple roles.

Earthly Delights at Novi Gallery

T

he Depuy Canal House in High Falls is hosting an art exhibit at its new Novi Gallery — Earthly Delights, a retrospective of still lives and landscapes by the late Ben Bishop from the 1940s through 1980s, during which time the noted SUNY New Paltz art teacher’s style shifted while his subject matters largely stayed the same.

Bishop started off working a similar still-life vein that used minimalist attributes to best explore the painterly options opened up by the shift from Modernism to what would become Abstract Expressionist in the 1940s. His first great hero was the masterful Italian painter Georgo Morandi, but by the 1960s he was creating collages with an eye for the era’s psychedelic journey-taking. By the 1970s, however, he was back to his roots, and still lives (albeit in acrylics for a spell before also returning to oils), with an occasional landscape as if to show where he collected the materials he painted from.

“The paintings address the expression of place and object in time and space, questioning the concepts of stillness and motion,” writes the exhibit’s curator, Cynthia Nash, of the work, which also includes a “Shardscape” series painted after a trip to New Mexico, where he caught still-life like Native American potshards positioned in sandy, abstracted landscapes.

“Here too we see Morandi’s presence,” Nash writes of those later fusions of still life and landscape from this painter’s painter. “But this early influence has now been processed and integrated into Bishop’s lifelong exploration of seeing, feeling and thinking about the observed world.”

Bishop taught at SUNY New Paltz from 1965 to 1985, retiring as professor emeritus, and lived in High Falls up until his death in the mid 1990s. The current exhibit at the new Novi Gallery, located in the barn just behind the legendary Depuy Canal House restaurant and its chef John Novi’s office, is the first solo show of Bishops work since a 1996 memorial retrospective.

“Earthly Delights” will be on view through this Sunday, October 26.

“What interests me most is expressing what’s in nature,” wrote the quiet but insightful Morandi of his own work, as if for all who then worked in his style — like the singular Bishop. “In the visible world, that is.”

Earthly Delights: The Works of Ben Bishop, will be on display 5 p.m.-10 p.m. Friday, October 24; noon-10 p.m. Saturday, October 25 and 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Sunday, October 26 at the Novi Gallery, Depuy Canal House, 1315 Route 213, High Falls. Call 646-229-0059 for more information.

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.

Mark Twain and I have something in common!

He said, “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” I think the same way. Taking a chance is the best way to live life. Some folks I know are afraid of the home buying process, and that will only wind up as a disappointment 20 years from now. If you call Win Morrison Realty we will help you overcome your fears, so 20 years from now you can be disappointed about other things, right from your own front porch.

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.

We’ve still got some GREAT GUINEA PIGS: low maintenance, full of funny squeaks and noises, great for kids! Come meet cage-mates MAPLE & THUNDER or HARMONY & PRECIOUS. They’re good for homes where dog & cat allergies are an issue. We’ve got more Flemish Giant Rabbits than you can shake a carrot at! We’ve got them in white, brown and black. BROWNIE showed up to the SPCA pregnant & gave birth to 10 healthy babies, all of whom have been adopted. She’s looking for her forever home now. Come meet CUPCAKE, who’s currently recovering from a pretty deep bite wound from a fellow bunny, but would make a great boyfriend for some lucky bunny lady out there.

And last but absolutely, not least, these are some of our glorious CATS. Some of our new and some of our not so new cats: Come meet Collette; spayed 4-year old female, brown w/tiger stripes. Pumba; curious young male that just needs a good home. Mumford; regal looking grey & white fella w/a big personality.

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.

Kera; pet her just once. She’ll never leave you alone; in a really sweet way. Mystery; 7-year old female, she makes cute noises & gives the best head butts!

Bailey; bashful & sweet. He follows his brother’s lead for most everything & keeps a watchful eye on Pearl as if he were her big brother. Barnum; the ring leader, thus his name.
