Max Kenner wins Smithsonian American Ingenuity Award
Max Kenner, executive director of the Bard Prison Initiative (BPI), won the 2014 Smithsonian American Ingenuity Award in Education. The awards recognize ten groundbreaking individuals across nine categories including technology, performing and visual arts, natural and physical sciences, education, historical scholarship, social progress and youth achievement. Kenner was honored in a recent ceremony, which was hosted by NPR’s Michel Martin at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, DC. Called the “Golden Globes of Intellect� b y  Wa s h i n gt o n i a n  m a g a z i n e , the 2014 American Ingenuity Awards event included presenters Stephen Hawking; George Pelecanos, crime novelist, writer and producer of HBO’s The Wire and Treme; and Daniel Libeskind, master plan architect of the World Trade Center.
Kenner conceived of and created the BPI as a student volunteer organization when he was an undergraduate at Bard College in 1999. After gaining the support of the college and cooperation of the New York State Department of Correctional Services, he has overseen the growth of the program into a creditbearing and subsequently degreegranting program in 2001. In addition to organization management and program design for BPI, Kenner oversees fundraising and management of relations with New York State and the Department of Correctional Services. Over the last decade, Kenner has led the expansion of BPI from a pilot program with 15 students to a nationally recognized education initiative enrolling nearly 300 students across six campuses in correctional facilities throughout New York State. Kenner has become a leading advocate for the national restoration of college-in-prison and frequently speaks publicly in a wide variety of forums about the BPI model in education and criminal justice policy. He is a co-founder of the Consortium for the Liberal Arts in Prison, which supports other colleges and universities in establishing and maintaining ambitious college-in-prison prison projects. The Consortium currently collaborates with colleges in Connecticut, Indiana, Iowa, Maryland, Missouri and Washington that are returning rigorous college opportunity programs to the prison systems of their states. Kenner also serves as vice president for institutional initiatives and advisor to the president on public policy and college affairs at Bard College. He was a 2013/14 fellow-in-residence at the Charles Warren Center for Studies in American History at Harvard University.

HISTORY
“MADE IN NEWBURGH� TALK AT WASHINGTON’S HEADQUARTERS
T
he Friends of the State Historic Sites of the Hudson Highlands will host a presentation on Newburgh’s manufacturing history at Washington’s Headquarters State Historic Site on November 9. Open to members and the general public, this free talk will take place
at 3 p.m. Industrial historian Russell Lange, former president of the Newburgh Historical Society, will deliver a talk titled “Made in Newburgh.� For 150 years manufacturing drove the economy of Newburgh, providing jobs for more than 8,000 men and women. Steam engines, lawnmowers, blue jeans, perfume, paper boxes, muslin cloth, automobiles, Christmas trees, camelhair coats and “Fabby� were all produced in Newburgh. Today most of it is gone. The talk will describe the rise and fall of Newburgh’s manufacturing base and include tales of local inventors and entrepreneurs and their products. Washington’s Headquarters are located at the corner of Washington and Liberty Streets within the City of Newburgh’s East End Historic District. Light refreshments will be provided. For more information, call (845) 562-1195.
Polio Boulevard author in Hyde Park The Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum will host a talk with Karen Chase, author of Polio Boulevard: A Memoir, on Thursday, November 6 at 7 p.m. in the Henry A. Wallace Center at the FDR Presidential Library and Home. Following the presentation, Chase will be available to sign copies of her book. This event is free and open to the public. In 1954, Chase was a 10-year-old girl playing Monopoly in the polio ward when the radio blared out the news that Dr. Jonas Salk had developed the polio vaccine. The discovery came too late for her, and Polio Boulevard is Chase’s unique chronicle of her childhood while fighting polio. Academy Award-winning actor Olympia Dukakis said of Polio Boulevard, “In the early ’50s during the polio epidemic, I worked as a physical therapist. I saw firsthand the crushing suffering children and their families endured. I also saw their bravery and love for each other. Karen’s memoir is a truly remarkable piece of history.� Copies of Polio Boulevard will be available for sale after the talk. Contact Cliff Laube at (845) 486-7745 for more information.
Silent horror double feature in Rosendale
The Rosendale Theatre is bringing back Silent Film Sunday for a new season and new time on Sundays at 3 p.m. Opening the series – and keeping the audience in the Halloween mood – will be a screening on Sunday, November 2 of the 1920 version of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and the 1910 Edison film Frankenstein. Best of all, perhaps, is experiencing the films with the live musical accompaniment provided by local talent Marta Waterman, who prepares to perform by watching the films numerous times to get a sense of the pacing and does research to understand the background. “Oh, she’s great,� said Ann Citron, the Theatre’s managing director. “She’s really sensitive to the feelings and the tension in the film. She’s really good at it, and it enhances the enjoyment of the film.�

ALMANAC WEEKLY
October 30, 2014 The story in Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is familiar to most: “Every man has two sides, one good and one evil,” believes the good Dr. Jekyll, and to prove his theory, he conjures up a potion that changes him into the evil Mr. Hyde. John Barrymore’s transformation scene is notable for the way he is able to convey both characters without the use of any makeup – only facial contortions. Thomas Edison’s 1910 version of Frankenstein is the first film adaptation of the novel, and plays closely to the original text as written by Mary Shelley (and in an interesting note for New Yorkers, it was filmed in the Bronx). The emotional tenor of the film is different from the more familiar versions, and his monster – “the most perfect human being that the world has yet known” – looks nothing like the iconic Frankenstein of whom we usually think. – Sharyn Flanagan Silent Film Sunday, Frankenstein (1910) & Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1920), Sunday, November 2, 3 p.m. $5-$7, Rosendale Theatre, 408 Main Street, Rosendale; (845) 658-8989, www.rosendaletheatre.org.
Sparking change Elizabeth Rosner touts new novel Electric City at Inquiring Minds in New Paltz Novelist and poet Elizabeth Rosner, who will be doing a reading and booksigning on November 6 at Inquiring Minds in New Paltz, comes from a mix of many strands of drama that she has incorporated into past works like award-winning book-discussiongroup faves The Speed of Light (2001) and Blue Nude (2006). The Berkeley-
based, globetrotting author has battled breast cancer – successfully, so far; her German father spent time in the Buchenwald concentration camp, and her mother managed to dodge the Nazis in the Polish countryside until the Russians arrived. Yet her parents resisted calling themselves “Holocaust survivors,” just as their daughter very deliberately will not claim to be a “cancer survivor.” The randomness of the fate of individuals confronted by the challenges of history and human mortality is fertile matter for an author of fiction, and Rosner has made good use of it. But Rosner was also born and raised in Schenectady, a place whose role in the electrification of the modern world tends to put an indelible imprint on writers who spend much time there. Some of the early stories of Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., for example, who worked at the General Electric plant there as a young man, are set against the backdrop of what locals called Electric City. So it was only a matter of time, one supposes, before Rosner had to write a novel grounded in that personal sense of place. Electric City, just published this month by Counterpoint Press, is that novel. Though it was Thomas Edison who forged the industrial destiny of Schenectady by siting his Edison Machine Works there – later to rename itself General Electric – the denizen of that city who, um, sparked Rosner’s imagination was another German Jewish refugee, a generation before her father: Karl August Rudolph Steinmetz, who dubbed himself
Charles Proteus Steinmetz when he came to America. And Protean he was, although the personal reference was actually a sort of rebuke to those who had bullied him in his youth for being a hunchbacked dwarf. His GE colleagues and the people of Schenectady called Steinmetz the Wizard of Electric City and the Forger of Thunderbolts. Equally brilliant at mathematics and engineering, he is remembered by folks who know what the word “hysteresis” means as the guy who figured out how to design workable electrical systems using alternating current. Electric motors are his main legacy, but lightning was his obsession; he generated the first humanmade lightning in a lab the size of a football field on the GE campus. Steinmetz went on to become the president of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, as well as Schenectady’s City Council and Board of Education. Theories and formulae, electrical engineering awards and buildings at Union College are named after him. It’s a legacy impossible to ignore for an Electric City native, and powerful grist for the imagination. So Rosner makes the quirky genius the focus of the first half of her third novel, adding a powerful bond of friendship with a Native American local named Joseph Longboat. From 1919, she moves to the turbulent mid-’60s for the second half of the book, in which Sophie Levine, the teenage daughter of a GE employee who escaped the Holocaust, becomes romantically involved with Henry Van Curler, scion of one of Schenectady’s old-money families,
His GE colleagues and the people of Schenectady called Steinmetz the Wizard of Electric City and the Forger of Thunderbolts.
just as the once-thriving industrial city is on the verge of becoming a Rust Belt casualty of technological, political and socioeconomic change. Then Martin Longboat, Joseph’s grandson, comes into Sophie’s life, bringing with him a fascination with the character of the long-dead Steinmetz. With its immersion in New York State history and its timejumping narrative, Electric City sounds like the sort of novel that will appeal to the many readers who enjoyed Mark Helprin’s Winter’s Tale. The author also has a poetry collection just out from Atelier26 Books, titled Gravity, from which she will very likely read at the Inquiring Minds event. Word has it that actress Gillian Anderson will be making her directorial debut with a film version of Rosner’s The Speed of Light. And Peter Dinklage fans like Yours Truly can dream of another potential movie (with deliciously Steampunk art direction, perhaps?) in which that shortbut-towering actor brings the Wizard of Electric City to life. Meanwhile, you can catch Elizabeth Rosner live at 5 p.m. on Thursday, November 6 at Inquiring Minds Bookstore in downtown New Paltz.

he mid-Hudson Valley is such a great base of operations for folks who love live theater. Aside from being only a two-hour bus or train ride away from Broadway, we’re really got it all right here. Whatever you fancy – new works still in development by up-and-coming playwrights, revivals of crowdpleasing musicals, avant-garde experimental theater, Shakespeare and Greek tragedies, bare-bones staged readings, out-of-town tryouts with topnotch Actors Equity casts or the youthful energy of college theater department productions – it’s easily within our reach, at ticket prices that even working-class audiences can manage. Among our many tantalizing stage options are several local theater groups who sponsor competitions for new works or short plays, the winners of which get a production, often as part of an annual festival. It’s a great vector for struggling playwrights to build up a name for themselves; and sometimes a new play (and perhaps even its author’s ability to make playwriting his or her day job) will thus be launched into viability, worming its way into the affections of community theatrical groups via word-of-mouth without necessarily ever having seen the lights of the Great White Way. So if you’re among those arts fanciers who think it a shame when the productivity of highly talented dramatists is limited by their hours spent waiting on tables in order to keep body and soul

Celluloid heroes Get the Hollywood red-carpet treatment at Rosendale Theatre Collective gala
W
hat better place for the Rosendale Theatre Collective to host its
“Let’s Go to the Movies” fundraising gala than the atmospheric Belltower Venue (pictured above), located next door to the Theatre? Like the perfect movie location that sets the mood, the church built in 1896 by the local Dutch Reformed congregation – now an event venue that offers a 2,500-square-foot space with high vaulted tin ceilings – will set the stage for a celebratory dinner, dance and silent and live auction event on Saturday, November 1 from 6:30 to 11 p.m. Attendees are asked to dress as their favorite movie character or in their best Hollywood red-carpet style. “It’s impossible to overdress for this occasion,” said Ann Citron, the Theatre’s managing director, “or underdress, really... Come any way you like, but we’re planning it as a dress-up affair.” Tickets cost $125 for the entire evening ($100 for members of the Rosendale Theatre Collective) or $45 to arrive at 9 p.m. after the dinner for the auctions, dessert and dancing to live music by the seven-piece band Soul Purpose. The auctioneer for the brief liveauction portion of the evening will be local writer, performer and storyteller David Gonzalez. The silent auction will feature gift certificates to local businesses and restaurants, handmade jewelry and hats and a lot of fine art, said Citron, thanks to the support that the Theatre gets from the Hudson Valley artist population. The evening will start with a choice of two signature cocktails by Tuthilltown Spirits of Gardiner, followed by passed hors d’oeuvres and a soup course served at the tables. Afterwards, guests will be invited to the dinner buffet provided by local restaurants who have all created a specialty made with locally sourced ingredients. Participating eateries include Harvest Real Food Catering, Friends and Family II Hillside Restaurant, the High Falls Café, Karma Road, Bridge Creek Catering and Café, the Bywater Bistro, Maxine’s Catering/Bittersweet Bakers, Market Market Café, Bread Alone and Bacchus. After 9 p.m. dancing will commence, auction bids will be finalized and dessert selections will be offered from a dessert table as well as passed hors d’oeuvre-style. Proceeds will benefit the Rosendale Theatre’s ongoing capital improvement project to restore the historic building. “We’re about to insulate the roof and put gutters on the building,” said Citron, “and both are very expensive. This spring we’re going to do air conditioning. We’re trying to make everything more energyefficient. I’m so happy we’re insulating the roof; it’ll make a big difference in the heating bills.” – Sharyn Flanagan “Let’s Go to the Movies” gala fundraiser, Saturday, November 1, 6:30-11 p.m., $45-$125, Belltower Event Venue, 398 Main Street, Rosendale; (845) 658-8989 (Theatre), (845) 658-8077 (Belltower Venue), www.rosendaletheatre.org.

Sun Ock Lee & Maya Dance Theatre at Kaatsbaan Kaatsbaan, the nonprofit dance residency and performance facility on a 153-acre historic site in Tivoli, will host Zen dancer/choreographer Dr. Sun Ock Lee from Korea on Saturday, November 1 at 7:30 p.m. and the Maya Dance Theatre from Singapore on Sunday, November 2 at 2:30 p.m. Dancer/choreographer Sun Ock Lee (above) is no stranger to the Kaatsbaan stage, having performed and taught there in 2001. She is known for her dances based on the mind/body techniques of ancient Zen. Of Dr. Lee’s work, Anna Kisselgoff of The New York Times wrote, “She contributes a view of contemporary dance that is more ceremony than performance, and yet one that is totally creative.” The evening’s program will be ZenDance: Form Is Emptiness 2014, a multimedia performance choreographed by Dr. Lee and commissioned by the Maya Dance Theatre in Singapore that combines new music, ZenDance technique and photography. Photography projections are by abstract photographer Howard Finkelson. Founded in 2006, the Maya Dance Theatre is a young company dedicated to collaborations and experimentations. Its dance vocabulary draws inspiration from Asian traditions and aesthetics. The dancers of the Maya Dance Theatre are trained in traditional Asian dance techniques as well as in modern dance.

Classes cost $15 each and are open to all interested students. For more information about the performances or the master classes, call (845) 757-5106.
The Lady in Question opens in Shandaken Want a great benchmark for the cultural gentrification of the Hudson Valley and Catskills, as well as the ways in which we’ve liberalized over the years as a nation? Look no further than the new work playing at STS Playhouse up Route 28 in Shandaken: a great regional theater in an old moviehouse that has been home to rousing community performances of classic musicals and the occasional bedroom farce over the years. Opening on Saturday, November 1 will be the high-camp
drama The Lady in Question, written by Charles Busch of Off-Off-Broadway and drag performance fame. Sure, Busch’s work – which started in the old Limbo Lounge with such telling titles as Vampire Lesbians of Sodom, Theodora, She-Bitch of Byzantium and Psycho Beach Party before landing first Off- and then directly on Broadway, garnering Tony nominations and long two-year runs en route – were seen as a continuation of Charles Ludlum’s Ridiculous Theater experiments of the 1960s and 1970s and acceptance of gay culture within the New York and great theatrical world’s mainstream. But to have skipped over Peoria and Poughkeepsie to land in community theater shows as much about the new nature of our rural towns as the changing tide of American entertainment. A satire of patriotic 1940s thrillers, The Lady in Question follows glamorous Gertrude Garnet, world-renowned concert pianist, as she arrives in Nazi Germany to perform a concert, only to find a baron who adores her, dungeonheld prisoners and a tortured escape route away from her own self-absorption. The production, featuring a host of energetic Route-28-corridor characters, is camp and cross-gender – and all in great fun.
– Paul Smart The Lady in Question, November 1-2, 7-9 & 13-16, Thursdays-Saturdays, 8 p.m., Sundays, 2 p.m., $20, STS Playhouse, 10 Church Street, Phoenicia; (845) 6882279, www.stsplayhouse.com.

or nearly a decade, Lara Hope has been among the most visible and energetic mid-Hudson Valley scenesters, fronting the risqué heavy punk group Tiger Piss, the now-defunct rockabilly purists the Champtones, the dirt-floor, retro Gold Hope Duo and now the wide-ranging, Pan-Americana roots explorers Lara Hope and the Ark-Tones. They’re a savvy and versatile quartet featuring Hope on acoustic guitar and her signature gutsy vocals, upright bassist (and Gold Hope duo namesake) Matt “the Knife” Goldpaugh, clever guitarist Chris Heitzman and drummer Dave Tetrault. Many of Hope’s previous recordings have a done a fine job of capturing the energy of her live performances and the chemistry of her road-tested combos, but 2014’s self-produced Luck Maker by Lara Hope and the Ark-Tones finds Hope and friends truly accepting the challenges of the recording studio and prevailing – with the help of engineer Adam Armstrong, whose name seems to be on about half of the CDs coming across my desk these days. Recorded at Dreamland, Luck Maker is an ambitious, elaborate and stylish bit of studiocraft that never loses contact with the live ensemble at its core. There is something strangely Baroque and complex about this record, though it may take the listener a while to perceive it, as this is in most respects a reverent and traditional poly-roots undertaking.

rockabilly of ‘Whiskey Pick,” the garage Latin of the extraordinary title track, the dark Southwestern narrative of “He’s Not the Devil” and various jump-blues and early R & B grooves. One indescribably groovy and dark waltz-type thing (“The Night Winter Turned to Spring”) and the vibrant, oddball and rocking cabaret standard “Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen” stretch the scope of the collection in the most delightful ways. As the title suggests, Luck Maker’s songs often concern old magic and old myths, with a recurrent carpe diem theme that may reflect Hope’s, um, hope for this record and her implicit recognition that it is a landmark and next-level work for her. “It’s hard to write a song when you’re happy,” she sings on the title track, “and it’s hard to tell a joke when you’re sad/

But good things don’t happen by accident/ Even if it’s just pure luck you had/I’m a luck maker.” Meanwhile, the groove of the song skillfully shifts three or four times without ever losing its purpose and its raw grace, suggesting that this band has made much of its own musical luck through lots and lots of practice. Hope’s ripping, muscular and thoroughly old-school voice has always seemed to come through a Victrola or some other archaic medium, though at moments one can hear traces of the bluesier side, and the ballsy register, of Fiona Apple. But now Hope really inhabits her inner retro self with a natural, unstylized ease, even as the exquisite arrangements surrounding her can be quite stylized and clever, enhanced by horns, strings, backup vocalists and occasional studio trickery. Some retro acts reference old styles with a postmodern wink; others inhabit them as if the last 50 years had failed to transpire. On Luck Maker, Lara Hope and the Ark-Tones somehow manage to do both.

Starting Monday, November 3 and running through Sunday, November 16, you can visit any one of 200 restaurants across seven counties and get a three-course dinner for $29.95, and in some cases a three-course lunch for $20.95.
The price is right Try something new at Hudson Valley Restaurant Week
H
ave you been wanting to try that venerable-but-fancy restaurant down the road, or that trendy hotspot across the river, but feared the sticker shock when the check comes? Well, for the 11th time in eight years, you can conquer your fear, feed your cravings and go, ending your meal with a much-smaller check. Starting Monday, November 3 and running through Sunday, November 16, you can visit any one of 200 restaurants across seven counties and get a threecourse dinner for $29.95, and in some cases a three-course lunch for $20.95. To lure more customers and win new fans, participating eateries will be doubling their efforts to offer the best of local, seasonal produce with their own unique spin during Hudson Valley Restaurant Week. The prix fixe tradition has been longestablished in Europe, where diners can eat economically by choosing from select options in multi courses for a fixed price. But it has been slow to catch on stateside, in spite of being a great way to sample the best of a restaurant’s own style at an affordable price. Tim Zagat, known for founding the Zagat Guide series with wife Nina 36 years ago, spoke at the Restaurant Week kickoff on October 7 at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park. Along with late restaurateur Joe Baum, Zagat was co-founder of the Restaurant Week concept, with the first event in 1992 in New York City. It was intended as a goodwill gesture to 15,000 reporters who were in New York City for the Democratic National Convention, and participating
Hudson Valley Restaurant Week will feature more than 200 eateries, including Terrapin in Rhinebeck (above).
restaurants charged $19.92 for a threecourse prix fixe. Zagat and Baum saw it as a loss for the restaurants, but a worthwhile undertaking anyhow. Since then, Zagat said, there are now ten or 12 Restaurant Weeks around the country and even one in London. Restaurateurs have discovered that it’s a win for them, too, increasing business and drawing new customers “We thought it would be expensive for the restaurants,” said Zagat, “but it was only four days. We did not understand what Restaurant Week would do: bringing in new customers from all walks of life, who would come back to the restaurants again and again.” “It’s so gratifying for me to see it here in the Hudson Valley,” Zagat added, “and I’m grateful to you all for making this a success.” Zagat has lived in the Hudson Valley for 30 years, he said, as well as the City. “It was hard to find an outstanding restaurant in the Hudson Valley when we started, but now they are all over; there

are hundreds that are really first-class.” And 200 of those – 114 miles up and down the Hudson Valley, according to Janet Crawshaw – will be especially accessible during Restaurant Week. Eight years ago Crawshaw, co-founder of Valley Table magazine, started it all, with only 70 restaurants participating. Inspired by a cross-country trip with the magazine’s co-founder Jerry Novesky, she returned to the Valley and found it deserving of attention for its culinary riches and abundant quality produce. A few years later she launched the Restaurant Week, which has been growing ever since and recently expanded from being an annual event to twice a year. This fall’s event features three-course prix fixe menus for $29.95, and some places offer lunch as well for $20.95. Generally there are at least three choices in each category, and the regular menu is available as well. In many cases, local products, from vegetables to vodka, are spotlighted in the prix fixe offerings. In Ulster County, for example, participating restaurants include the Village Tea Room Restaurant and Bakeshop, the Huguenot Restaurant and A Tavola in New Paltz, Tuthill House at the Mill in Gardiner, the Would in Highland, the Ship Lantern Inn and Henry’s at the Farm in Milton, Duo Bistro and Frogmore Tavern in Kingston and the Tavern at Diamond Mills in Saugerties. Columbia County has only one as of this writing, the Greens in Copake Lake; and the many in Dutchess County include Terrapin in Rhinebeck, the Mill House Brewing Company, the Artist’s Palate and Crave in Poughkeepsie, the restaurants at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park (Bocuse, Ristorante Caterina di Medici and American Bounty) and a couple of dozen more. All offer dinner, but not every day of the week; sometimes certain evenings are excluded. So check each restaurant’s listing at www.hudsonvalleyrestaurantweek.com
or call. Lunch is available at some, but not all. You can search by town, county or cuisine. Restaurants are encouraged to plan their special Restaurant Week menus to feature local products, to offer information on where they come from and also to give patrons a realistic “taste” of their menu offerings by serving dishes that are representative of the menu in portion size and quality. In many cases you can check out the items on the prix fixe menu ahead of time via the Restaurant Week website a n d /o r t h e r e s t a u r a n t ’s own website. Menu items may be subject to change based on availability, however. Reservations are recommended in all cases, required in some. Some can be reserved through www.opentable. com, some by calling the establishment directly. In all cases, the $29.95 or $20.95 do not include taxes or any accompanying beverages, and especially do not include the tip. It is highly recommended to tip based on the actual value of the meal, rather than the low price paid. In the Hudson Valley area where these restaurants choose their raw materials and products, there are now 75 farmers’ markets and 2,552 farms, 35 of them with Community Supported Agriculture programs. The last Hudson Valley Restaurant Week, this past spring, had about 200,000 participating diners, about half of them trying out places that they hadn’t been to before. Nearly 90 percent returned to the restaurant. Of the participating restaurants, 85 percent saw an increase in sales during the 14-day event – most by 20 to 30 percent, and for some, double or even triple normal sales. As with some past events, the Culinary Institute of America kicked things off by hosting a pull-out-all-the-stops reception, this time in its new Marriott Pavilion. Dozens of local purveyors offered samples, from succulent rabbit from John Fazio Farms of Modena to award-winning

Sweet treat Red Hook & the Chocolate Festival celebrated with contests, tastings, races, lectures & music
R
oald Dahl published Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in 1964, making this year the 50th anniversary of the story that made Willy Wonka and the Oompa-Loompas household names. And just like virtuous Charlie in the book, children (and adults) in Red Hook will have the opportunity to find a Golden Ticket inside the wrapping of their chocolate bar at the first-ever “Red Hook & the Chocolate Festival,” held at locations throughout the village of Red Hook on Saturday, November 1 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The three Golden Tickets found inside bars of chocolate sold by Girl Scouts stationed on the streets that day will be redeemable for cash prizes, according to Kimberley McGrath-Gomez, executive director of the Red Hook Area Chamber of Commerce organizing the event. Pre-festival, there’s a 5K run at 9 a.m. and a one-mile Fun Run at 9:45 a.m. sponsored by the local girls’ soccer team, the Red Dragons, who are raising funds to go to Sweden for the big Gothia Cup tournament next summer. The races begin at the municipal parking lot at Broad and Prince Streets. Details on cost and registration forms are on the Chamber’s website. Red Hook & the Chocolate Festival kicks off at 11 a.m. at Taste Budd’s Chocolate and Coffee Café at 40 West Market Street, where proprietor Dan Budd will offer chocolate-tastings and educate participants on the finer points of savoring the delectable stuff before sending people off with a ratings card to try chocolates at other businesses. A red balloon will mark the site of chocolate-tasting locations where one’s newly found appreciation of the finer points of chocolate-consumption can be tried out. Chocolate-inspired goodies to be found will include chocolate (mole) chili, chocolatecovered strawberry martinis, chocolate lava cake, chocolate wings, chocolate-androsemary short ribs, chocolate fountains, chocolate pizza and chocolate soda, sorbet and ice cream. (For those who’d rather just apply the chocolate directly to their hips, there’s even chocolate bath scrub and lotion.) Live music will be performed in “nearly every square inch of the village,” said McGrath-Gomez, featuring a wide variety of singers and musicians, including Fierce Mantras ( jazz, funk, punk); the MacCana Band ( jigs, reels and forgotten Celtic tunes); Shandy (an acoustic duo playing folk and rock covers and originals); and Frank Migliorelli (folk, rock, soul). A Cooking with Chocolate demonstration will be held at the Flatiron Steakhouse at 7488 South Broadway/Route 9 at 12 noon, and the Chocolate Bomb Skateboard Race starts at 1 p.m. Boarders have to preregister with the Board Room skateboard shopowner Christopher Hoffman at 14 East Market Street. The route will go through the village, with prizes for first, second and third place awarded. From 1:30 to 3 p.m., the Historic Red Hook organization will be at the Elmendorf Inn to talk about the “Chocolate Wars” history of Red Hook (more on that in a moment) and from 3 to 5 p.m. will be the festival’s finale: the Chocolate Wars dessertmaking competition at the Red Hook Middle School on Linden Avenue.

13 to 16 can sign up and receive a free chocolate bar; those who find a golden ticket inside the wrapper will be chosen as participants for the competition, which will find teams of two teens and an adult mentor working together from a basket of mystery ingredients to create chocolate desserts. They’ll have 45 minutes to create three identical plated desserts for the three judges to sample. Prizes will be awarded to first and second place. To sign up in advance, visit the link on the Chamber website. So now, about those Chocolate Wars... It bears mentioning that, despite the Golden Tickets in the chocolate bars and a costumed Willy Wonka who will roam the streets on festival day, the event was not really inspired by Dahl’s classic story of children who got their just desserts. McGrath-Gomez explained that the idea for the event came about because of Red Hook’s history as home to a thriving chocolate business established in 1888 by William H. Baker, whose company produced 20,000 pounds of chocolate a day in Red Hook at its peak. However, Red Hook’s William H. Baker – no relation to Walter H. Baker, founder of the original Baker Chocolate Company in 1780 – apparently had no scruples about openly capitalizing on the better-known brand’s reputation, utilizing almost-identical package designs. This, of course, led to litigation and what became known in local folklore as “the Chocolate Wars.” (And according to an old edition of the About Town publication, the lawsuits also involved – incredibly – another chocolate-maker named William H. Baker, of Syracuse, who sold “Baker’s Chocolate,” and a William Phillips Baker from an unspecified New York location, who also got in on the Baker Chocolate name and reputation.) The Red Hook Chocolate Factory at 54 Elizabeth Street was eventually sold by William H. Baker’s heirs to the Walker Candy Company, which closed in 1932. The building became a cold-storage warehouse for locally grown apples, peaches, pears and grapes before being converted to a frozen-food warehouse, and was finally abandoned in the early 1980s before it was resurrected as upscale industrial office and retail space in 1995. – Sharyn Flanagan Red Hook & the Chocolate Festival, Saturday, November 1, 11 a.m.-5 p.m., free, locations throughout village of Red Hook; (845) 758-0824, www.redhookchamber.org.

ALMANAC WEEKLY

ROBERT SABUDA’S FATHER WAS A MASON AND A CARPENTER, and his grandfather and great-grandfather were in the building trades. He credits this lineage in hands-on work for his ability to visualize in three dimensions and to put together all the moving parts of a pop-up.
Pop-up gallery
“Paper engineer” Robert Sabuda releases new book, readies 10 Horse Art Center in Plutarch
In a six-minute-long Martha Stewart video clip, Robert Sabuda demonstrates the rudiments of making a pop-up book. You fold your paper like this, slice it like that, then bend the fold back on itself – and as they say in the UK, “Bob’s your uncle!” Sabuda does make it look easy. But an encounter with his new children’s book, The Dragon and the Knight, should remind you that his talent lies in building intricate, complex, three-dimensional scenes that jump out from between the pages and pull your imagination into the story. Sabuda has transformed a number of traditional tales into pop-up versions, such as The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast and The Night before Christmas. His Dinosaurs (with Matthew Reinhart) informs and enchants. America the Beautiful illustrates the song and the country in Minimalist foldouts. All his work, including the colorful pop-up greeting and holiday cards that he designs and sells at the Museum of Modern Art, engenders comments of awe and wonder. This new offering is a conglomeration of favorite fairy tales, with a dragon being chased through each one by a knight. Every closed page hides a puzzle that slides open and springs to life by simply opening the book. It’s low-tech magic – the kind that continues to delight readers of all ages. Kids accustomed to the hightech razzamatazz of screens and e-games gaze at Sabuda’s pop-up and think, “How did that happen?”
OFFER ENDS 10/31/14
Robert Sabuda in the studio (left) and a page from his newest book The Dragon and the Knight (above).
This is the kind of questioning that the younger Sabuda pursued, especially after he saw his first pop-up book in a dentist’s office. (It was fascinating enough to take his mind off the task at hand.) As a child, he drew and painted and crafted with the encouragement of his parents and teachers. “My bedroom was a constant whirlwind of pencil shavings, drippy paintbrushes and mounds of paper scraps,” he writes. Soon he was figuring out how to construct three-dimensional pieces, and the career of a paper engineer took off. First he finished school, left rural Michigan to attend Pratt Institute in New York and went to work as a package designer “creating the boxes for ladies’ underpants and bras.” He recalls a professor at Pratt who told him that children’s book illustration was not a worthy career path to follow. Fortunately, others supported his dream, and this many years later, Sabuda’s contribution to children’s literature is world-renowned. Last year, he was the keynote at the Michigan Art Educators’ Association conference at Mackinaw Island. “There were 500 art teachers! I love going to events like this!” Sabuda talks about the basic mechanics of paper engineering. “It takes eight months to a year to design a good pop-up book,” he says. After a prototype is built, all the paper is die-cut and assembled by hand – real hands. “They used to be produced in South America, but ten years ago all the assembly went to China and
Thailand. But there’s a movement to bring manufacturing back to the US. With my stationery stuff, I’d like to bring this back to Detroit, where there are empty plants and a huge out-of-work force of assemblers.” Sabuda’s father was a mason and a carpenter, and his grandfather and great-grandfather were in the building trades. He credits this lineage in hands-on work for his ability to visualize in three dimensions and to put together all the moving parts of a pop-up. Sabuda’s current project is slightly larger: the renovation of a barn adjacent to his home in Ulster County, which will become the 10 Horse Art Center, a multipurpose space with rental studios and an exhibition gallery. “When the property came up for sale, I couldn’t resist buying it even before I knew what I’d do with it. My father said, ‘Make it for more artists than just you.’ We’ve saved all the original siding to put back on; we have material all over the place that we’ve been keeping for reuse,” he says, indicating piles of wood now surrounding the deconstructed building. As he speaks, wet concrete gushes out of the downtube of a cement truck, and a team of men in rubber boots rake it across the entire ground floor. Sabuda’s project manager, Justin Barros, told him, “This is surreal. There’s no turning back now. When you’re pouring concrete, there’s only forward.” Sabuda was glad to find a local architectural group, Garba/Seid
Architecture Design Studio, who were enthusiastic about repurposing the structure, turning an old horse barn into an art studio. They suggested that, since there had been ten stalls, they’d make ten separate workrooms, and he could call it “10 Horse Studio.” Sabuda went for it. He remarks on how he values other people’s creative input. In his own studio in Manhattan, where his books and other papercraft items are designed, he has two full-time associates working with him. “I’m not a creative tyrant. When you’re a young artist, it’s a solitary endeavor because you don’t know any better, and you’re finding your way. Now that I’m older and working in a very specific field – children’s book illustration – I like the collaborative effort. Others have insights that I might not necessarily have. It makes it easier for me, because a lot of what I do is problem-solving. I don’t necessarily have the right answer every time. I would be foolish to do it all by myself.” Recognizing his limited ability to wear only so many hats at once, he has already advertised for teachers to conduct classes and workshops and artists who want to rent studio space. The plan is to be open by next spring. Meanwhile, everyone involved is scrambling to get the building closed in before the snow flies. “Even the neighbors are all very excited; strangers walk in and want to know what’s going on here. The Town of Highland/Lloyd was completely on board with our plans. I’m reusing space. I believe an old structure is as good as a new one. I feel a kinship with anyone who uses their hands to build something. It’s fascinating for me to watch others doing their craft – like these cement-pourers. I grew up watching this and doing what he’s doing. If I wasn’t writing and illustrating children’s books, I’d be a carpenter – or a puppeteer!” 10 Horse is located on a quiet road in Plutarch. “Our hamlet has had a very vibrant history, including the little white church just 100 feet from my house that was built in 1865 by the residents with their own hands, using the surrounding trees, during the height of the Civil War. Amazingly, this little Methodist church still has a congregation and services every Sunday.”

“A CLIQUE OF PHOTOGRAPHERS” AT HUDSON’S NOBO GALLERY

ichard Edelman is considered a key name to photographers and top artists in the area. The Woodstock Graphics business that he has been running for years specializes in carefully wrought and perfectly calibrated art prints of the highest caliber. Yet Edelman – a great photographer who works in long, patient, some say monumental “projects,” from horse and people portraits to contemporary landscapes and “liminal” explorations – has also been heading up a monthly salon of similarly serious photographers for years now. That salon of eight top regional artists is currently exhibiting works in a pop-up gallery show titled “A Clique of Photographers” at the temporary NoBo (North of Brooklyn) Gallery in Hudson through November 8, on which night the whole shebang will be celebrated with a closing reception. Among those showing in “A Clique” will be Craig Barber, Karen Davis, Jeff Jacobson, Kay Kenny, Elaine Mayes, Carla Shapiro, Ruth Wetzel and Edelman. All do serious, thoughtful and emotionally rich work. Most are long-timer Ulster County residents, but all have deep connections now to the creative heart that is the new Hudson Valley. That reception on the 8th runs from 5 to 8 p.m., but the show has a good seven days to get caught before that. – Paul Smart “A Clique of Photographers,” Thursdays-Sundays through November 8, NoBo Gallery, 585 Warren Street, Hudson; (518) 671-6777, www.nobogallery.com.
Teeming with enthusiasm about his upstate community, Sabuda has been a supporter of the Elting Memorial Library in New Paltz for many years, conducting free workshops for adults and children. He gave a lecture and PowerPoint history on paper engineering and showed how his books are assembled. And he donated funds to have several of the library’s Haviland-Heidgerd Historical Collection’s 19th-century wall maps restored. In building-it-so-they-will-come, he hopes to attract artists of all ilks to his spacious new barn, to work and teach and share in the communal making of a good place. For anyone wanting and needing such a place, 10 Horse promises to be just that. “If you have the vision to make it happen, you’ve gotta try. I can see how it would be daunting for other people; but coming from a building background, nothing I’m seeing is new to me, but seeing it all come together is amazing.” Check it out at http://10horse.com.

Carolyn H. Edlund paintings on view in New Paltz Carolyn H. Edlund, part of the new “A Different Point of View” exhibit up
at the Mark Gruber Gallery in New Paltz into the latter part of November, still feels new to the sort of work for which she’s now gaining recognition. Like her fellow exhibit artist Vince Natale, the Poughkeepsie-based Edlund is best-known for more Realist works – in her case, landscapes and portraits. “I took my first art classes when I was 11 and started painting seriously about 35 years ago, with a real push for the past decade,” she says of her career, in which she was largely self-taught until taking classes with top classically trained artists
around the region. “These new paintings I am showing are a complete departure for me: all created this year and started after I was asked to be part of an exhibit in Rochester last fall entitled ‘Proverbs & Common Places.’ When I showed what I’d created to Mark, he asked if I could do a whole exhibit along these lines.” The works in the new show play with elements of symbolism and wit, and verge on the surreal via their straightforward mix of hyperrealist elements with something more whimsical at times, or dreamlike at others. Natale’s works play with the idea of what could be, or what might have been, and demonstrate the ways in which such a keen observer feels about all that he has been capturing over the years. Edlund, meanwhile, creates still-lifes and positioned tableaux that pivot off underlying proverbs with a deep sense of wit, lent oddness by the strength of her classical approach to painting. She says that she enjoyed the added compositional work that went into the 30 pieces on view. She referred to an old Oxford anthology of proverbs, whittled down how she wanted to approach the ones that she chose to work with visually and then painstakingly arranged her elements. “They’re little puns,” she said. “I wanted a light treatment and never intended to go at them as a form of Surrealism.” Nevertheless, both artists’ work ends up with that sensibility, albeit with less reliance on dream logic or the darker side of mysterious analogies. Edlund laughed, talking about how a recent piece in the American Arts Quarterly recommended the surreal elements of her “fleshlike” interpretation of rocks in a Catskills landscape, because
she never meant anything of the sort while painting. “I guess there’s an odd element that comes through when I omit elements from a landscape,” she said. “I just try to have fun.” The artist said that she has got another 30 works from the past year that elaborate on many of the simpler pieces in the current Gruber exhibit. And she’s looking to do more in this vein, including several that place elements, like birds or a tightrope, into her earlier landscapes. “I am still doing a portrait, and I continue to love painting landscapes plein aire,” she added. “But this thing about making the brain work a little harder – I like that!” As do we. – Paul Smart “A Different Point of View,” MondaySaturday through November 22, Mark Gruber Gallery; New Paltz Plaza, New Paltz; (845) 255-1241, www.markgrubergallery.com.

Kurtz is a former studio assistant to Puryear, gaining recognition for his sculpture and furniture design as well as two-dimensional works; and Shapiro is a museum-collected ceramicist who’s close friends with the other men.

Openings in Kingston Think young. Think sumptuous. The themes at this month’s worth of art at the Arts Society of Kingston (ASK) gallery are student works from Bard
College and ASK membership views of food in a variety of still-lifes. The Bard presentation, curated by Finn West, harks back to the Rondout area’s first gallery showings of SUNY-New Paltz student works under the expert guidance of Ben Wigfall. Look for small works, as a means of getting 28 artists into this one show, but a wide breadth of style and subject matter. Partial proceeds from the sale of these works by college juniors and seniors go to support a new fund for visual learning, dedicated to helping students in need – from providing art materials for ambitious artistic projects to enhancing access to classroom resources and digital

ALMANAC WEEKLY
October 30, 2014 The times certainly feel right, with a need for such commentary. But back it comes, via several contemporary shows around the region, and one gallery in trendy Hudson (Limner) – but also, now, via a long-awaited retrospective/rediscovery exhibition complete with handsome new catalogue/ serious study on the career of Georges Malkine (1898-1970), all centered by the Woodstock Artists Association & Museum and a masterful job of academic research and curation by Derin Tanyol, a former associate at SUNYNew Paltz’s Dorsky Museum now
working with the Woodstock Byrdcliffe Guild. “Georges Malkine: Perfect Surrealist Behavior” takes the life, surrounding history and consistently exploring and engaging art of one of the 20th century Surrealist movement’s founding members far beyond his role as yet another participant. One comes away from this exhibit and accompanying book with a sense of the ways in which art shapes a life – in Malkine’s case, during those formative years in Paris alongside Massin, Miro, Dalí and Man Ray (among many), and then after a
wandering interim during his later years in Woodstock, from 1953 to 1966, when he again took up painting as his defining passion. More than the superbly evocative photos and letters that set context in this show, what come across are his artworks, and the way that his vision and craft grew
over the years. – Paul Smart “Georges Malkine: Perfect Surrealist Behavior,” through January 4, Woodstock Artists Association & Museum, 28 Tinker Street, Woodstock; (845) 679-2940, www.woodstockart.org.

HUDSON VALLEY AUDIENCES WILL DELIGHT in the familiar settings; the film was shot mostly in Nyack, and the omnipresence of the river where their father died reverberates throughout the movie in scene after scene involving immersion in water.
Stripped to the bone Kristen Wiig & Bill Hader are heartbreakingly good as The Skeleton Twins
T
he topic of suicide has been the stuff of high drama onstage since at least the ancient Greeks, and of black comedy onscreen since at least the 1960s. But lately it seems to be trending as a key theme of independent films; reading the catalog for this year’s Woodstock Film Festival, it was a little difficult to sort out all the entries whose plot synopses involved a suicidal protagonist wanting to talk to one last person or visit one last place or resolve one last conundrum before he or she drops the final curtain. Your guess is as good as mine as to what this all means, as a reflection of our zeitgeist in the twentyteens. Returning soldiers who do themselves in to escape PTSD and kids who do likewise in response to bullying or social-media ostracism are all over the news these days. Maybe we’re all just feeling a little overwhelmed, to the point where the notion of dropping out of this crazy old world permanently begins to seem perversely appealing. Or maybe by now we all know some people who have committed suicide, and discussion of the subject no longer seems quite so taboo as it once did. In any case, watching other people, fictional people, confront their despair in a movie may serve as a healthy sort of temporary catharsis (if it doesn’t inspire copycat behavior). Who knows how many potential suicides have been averted over the decades thanks to the recollection of James Stewart’s angelic lesson in It’s a Wonderful Life? But now we live in less innocent times, so the “message” of suicide-prevention message movies needs to be couched in a code more palatable to hipsters if it’s going to have the intended effect. Case in point: Craig Johnson’s The Skeleton Twins. With one previous indie feature under his belt, True Adolescents (2009), Johnson is so unknown a filmmaking quantity that his name doesn’t even rate a live link in this movie’s Wikipedia entry – yet. But that’s surely going to change. His screenplay for The Skeleton Twins, co-written with Mark Heyman, won the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award at this year’s Sundance Film Festival. The dialogue is heartbreakingly ironical, dark and snarky, full of lies and self-deception, as eloquent in what goes unsaid as in the lines themselves. Combined with Johnson’s deft, delicate direction, it

supplies a sturdy base on which the story’s two principals can dance their evasive, self-destructive pavanne of old anger and grope tentatively for tenuous hopes of healing. The real reasons to see this movie are the raw, splendid performances by Kristen Wiig and Bill Hader as twin siblings Maggie and Milo, colliding with powerful repercussions after ten years of not talking to each other. We first meet them as he is slitting his wrists in a bathtub in LA and she is contemplating a handful of pills in a bathtub in Rockland County. Only a call on her cellphone from the emergency room where her brother has been taken comes between Maggie and her own suicide attempt. We later learn that their beloved, indulgent father threw himself off the Tappan Zee Bridge many years before, and when we meet their mother (Joanna Gleason), we get an inkling why. She’s one of those maddeningly smug old-hippie Moms (usually played by Jane Fonda) who have become such a pervasive film cliché in recent years that I for one am ready to demand a moratorium, pronto. But back to our wounded offspring: Maggie and Milo, we learn from flashbacks, were once tighter than tight, with Maggie entirely supportive of her gay brother’s delight in cross-dressing.
Indeed, painting oneself to appear what one is not is a recurring theme in this tale, with an eventful brother/sister Halloween outing the centerpiece of the narrative. The pair sport identical skeleton tattoos, emblematic of their shared offbeat approach to life, and toy skeletons are a recurring visual motif. Talented and once full of promise, Milo at the outset of our story is despondent after repeated rejections, both romantic and in his attempts to make a career of acting. Maggie is desperately pretending to be in love with – and to be trying to have a baby with – Lance (Luke Wilson), the nice-buthopelessly-square man whom she has married because he is “good for her.” Deep in avoidance mode, she’s compulsively having flings with more interesting bad-boys and keeping her stash of birth control pills well-hidden. Bringing Milo back to the town where the twins grew up so that he can heal under Maggie’s watchful eye sets up a dynamic in which the piled-on pretenses are stripped away one by one like the pieces of yesterday’s elaborate Halloween costume. Contemplating the bare bones of where their lives have brought them is an excruciating process, complicated enormously by a subplot in which Milo encounters the former high school

teacher (Ty Burrell) with whom he had his first affair at age 15. Hudson Valley audiences in particular will delight in the familiar settings; the film was shot mostly in Nyack, and the omnipresence of the river where their father died reverberates throughout the movie in scene after scene involving immersion in water. Goldfish here become uplifting symbols of buoyancy under stress, as well as reminders of the fragility of a positive outlook in a hard world. This is the sort of plot that could easily become turgid melodrama in less skillful hands, and Hader is required to skate perilously close to the edge of portraying Milo as the stereotypical witty-but-tragic gay man. But the two principals play off each other beautifully, their performances superbly nuanced, perfectly timed and attuned to one another, exchanging reams of information in the lift of an eyebrow the way that only twins are supposed to be able to do. Their long history of working together on Saturday Night Live and in movies like Adventureland have clearly prepared them well for this tour de force à deux. It’s tough to say who of the two is better, but I’d give a slight edge to Hader, in whose able hands Milo’s disappointment in life burbles insistently just beneath an arch attitude as fragile as surface tension on still water. It helps that Johnson gives him the funniest lines as well. Can these two fey, damaged creatures rediscover their childhood bond and save one another? Or is suicide really the most “viable” solution to their pain? It’s a Wonderful Life it ain’t, but The Skeleton Twins delivers just enough of a glimmer of hope, however ambivalent and flawed, to make watching it an uplifting experience – in an ironical, postmodern sort of way. – Frances Marion Platt

Halloween surprises
rick or treat! It’s Halloween. In a way, the holiday never ends. Make-believe will remain after all the shaving cream is cleaned up. Ding-dong! It’s a world of illusion. Okay, fine – as long as we know the rules. We’ll confidently go 73 on the Thruway because we know that’s the real speed limit. We can adapt; no problem. We happily accept that margarine is now bad instead of good, and that being a bit overweight is now good instead of bad. Illusions can be illustrative. And they’re everywhere: We look around and nothing seems to be moving. In truth, everything is moving. In the mid-Hudson Valley, Earth’s rotation carries each tree and building along at 770 miles per hour: very nearly the speed of sound. The stones at our feet all vibrate trillions of times a second. The returning Moon seems brilliant. In reality it has exactly the same brightness as a sunlit parking lot. It seems bright only because the background sky is even darker, and our eyes make the adjustment. Major meteors look like substantive whizzing balls. But the largest one you’ve ever seen is no bigger than a raisin. Modern appliances seem like technological wizardry. Reality: Every electrical gadget with moving parts (fans, power windows in cars, refrigerators, hairdryers) operates the same simple way: an electromagnet twirls inside a permanent magnet. Cosmologists act as if they’re closing in on the origins and fate of the universe. They make it seem that enlightenment is just around the corner. Reality: They haven’t a clue. Global warming is not good, but it won’t be bad for everyone. Nobody knows precisely which regions will benefit and which will be harmed. So far (according to computer simulations that I was privately shown at the Boulder NOAA climate center a couple of years ago), our region looks like one of the winners. Don’t move. For decades, avoiding the sun was a “given” if you worried about cancer. The latest medical about-face: Sunlight-derived vitamin D appears to be the strongest general anti-cancer agent ever discovered. It’s much better to get too much sun than too little. Sunscreen shouldn’t be used except to prevent a burn. If you’re a white male in your mid-50s, the odds are better than one in 180 that you’ll die in the next year. Abandon the notion that you’re “entitled” to 75 or 80 years. The Sun, Moon and stars cross the sky from left to right, east to west. The Greeks figured out around 600 BC that this means that Earth is whirling the opposite way. When you press your hand against something, it’s not solid particles that you encounter. The resistance you feel is purely an electrical force – nothing solid at all. You’ll probably never die in an accident. The odds are 25 times greater that some health issue will do you in. Black and white are relative to the ambient lighting. A black cat in sunlight is actually 2,000 times whiter and brighter than snow lit up by a Full Moon. So which was really black? Neither, but if they were viewed side-by-side, it would be the snow, hands down.

Black holes aren’t holes. They’re the densest things in the universe: the very opposite of holes or emptiness. The Moon has no influence or correlation with human births. The true color of the sky is violet. But our eyes are so much more sensitive to the blue that is also present, the violet is overwhelmed. Some birds and insects perceive the sky’s true color, but not us. Steam isn’t white. The clear gap next to the kettle’s spout is the steam. The white mist is tiny liquid droplets condensing. Manufacturers like to package things in red. But surveys consistently show most people’s favorite color to be some shade of blue. The Moon looks much bigger when it’s low. But it actually measures out a bit smaller then, because it’s farther from you. As it rises, the spinning Earth is carrying your location closer to the moon by about two percent, so it grows that much larger as it gets higher in the sky. There are countless others, of course. But one illusion that I can’t ignore is imagining that I can just go on and on. Ding-dong! – Bob Berman Want to know more?

Halloween candy givebacks for military personnel So what happens after you’ve had your fill rifling through your children’s Halloween haul for Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups? My daughter is very interested in her friend Lily’s arrangement with the Pumpkin Fairy, where the child leaves out candy overnight and receives a small gift in return. Did you know about some of these other candy exchanges in our area? Children donate a pound of candy at a
participating business or organization and the child receives some sort of token in return, with chances to win additional prizes if the candy is accompanied by a friendly card or letter to a soldier. All of the treats get delivered to US troops overseas. There seem to be two umbrellas of exchanges: The Great Halloween Candy Exchange, which is a local initiative and takes place on Saturday, November 1 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at a variety of area venues; and Halloween Candy Buyback, a national effort hosted by participating dentist offices. Find the Halloween Candy Buyback sites closest to you by visiting www.halloweencandybuyback.com and calling to verify before stopping by. One confirmed office is Dentists of the Hudson Valley, located at 1733 Ulster Avenue in Lake Katrine, accepting candy during
regular business hours on Tuesday, November 4. Here are some names and addresses for the Great Halloween Candy Exchange in 2014: AllSport Health and Fitness at 17 Old Main Street in Fishkill; Learning Insights at 20 Milton Avenue in Highland; the Children’s Medical Group at 4252 Albany Post Road in Hyde Park; and the Children’s Medical Group at 104 Fulton Avenue in Poughkeepsie.

PEACOCK PROCEEDS HELP FORSYTH PARK’S KINDERLAND
T
he Junior League of Kingston raised more than $33,000 at its peacock auction on Sunday at the Garden Lounge Restaurant in Kingston. Bids on the 22 artistically enhanced street figures ranged from a high of $4,300 for Hands Working in Harmony by artist Jacqueline Riedel, sponsored by Schneider’s Jewelry of Kingston, to $300 for Bone Daddy by artist Allison Carroll, sponsored by Deegan-Sanglyn Real Estate. Half the bids were above $1,000. Artists were given 25 percent of auction prices; winning bidders kept their peacocks. “Absolutely wonderful,” said League president Anna Brett. Proceeds will go toward the reconstruction of Kinderland Park at Forsyth Park in uptown Kingston. Brett, a retired school administrator, was League president when Kinderland was constructed in 1992. Bernie Gray of Leahy Funeral Home in Kingston served as auctioneer before a breakfast buffet crowd of more than 150 persons. Tara Ryan chaired the “Park Peacocks Run Wild” fundraiser. Peacocks by artists, some of them children, were placed on stands provided by the Bruderhof on sidewalks around Kingston last summer. Peacocks have long been a feature attraction at the Forsyth Park Nature Center, which is a few hundred feet from Kinderland in Forsyth Park. Other major contributors were Bank of America, Key Bank and the Bruderhof. The project cost for the new playground equipment is estimated at $171,000, for which assemblyman Kevin Cahill secured a $50,000 state grant. Brett said that plans are already underway for a peacock fundraiser next year. Work on refurbishing Kinderland is expected to begin in early spring. – Hugh Reynolds

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK
Cold comfort Greenhouse fig harvest goes on beyond the first frost
C
risp weather notwithstanding, almost every day I can reach up into the branches of my fig trees and walk away clutching a handful of soft, dead-ripe fruits. That’s because the trees – the ones bearing fruit – are in the greenhouse, where nights are chilly but daytime temperatures, especially on sunny days, are balmy or hot. I’m not gloating. Those greenhouse figs take some work beyond normal routines of keeping heating, cooling and watering systems chugging along harmoniously in the greenhouse. Earlier in the season I battled cottony cushion scale insects with toothbrush and soapy water, with oil sprays and with sticky-band traps (for ants, which “farm� scale insects) on trunks. Now I see that the insects are staging a comeback at a time when the trees are too big to scrub with a toothbrush and too big, too laden with fruit and surrounded too closely by lettuce, celery and other winter edibles to spray oil. I’m hoping that natural conditions keep scale insects in check until cold weather and lack of leaves or fruit finally puts them asleep for a few months. A few weeks ago, some creature (a mouse is my guess) discovered the figs, and liked them. He, or she, chewed the bottoms of some fruits as they hung from branches and gathered others to cache in shallow tunnels. Traps, poison bait and wide girths of sticky Tangle-Trap returned fruits to their rightful owner: me. All this effort is worthwhile. Especially on sunny days, the figs are delectable, soft and sweet, like dollops of jam hanging from the branches. Growing a few varieties of figs makes fig-eating even more pleasurable. People wonder, on hearing that I grow figs, whether I grow “brown figs or white figs� – at which point I bring attention to the fact that there are hundreds of varieties of figs, with many of each color. I keep trying to pare down my collection to the best. Instead, I seem to be adding varieties, either deliberately or gifted. It’s hard, virtually impossible, to tell what variety you have until it fruits. Figs have been cultivated for thousands of years, along the way of which an older variety may have picked up many names. For instance, I have a variety that I purchased as Verte (syn. Green Ischia); with brown fruit, I knew that it was mislabeled. Its bearing habit and the appearance of the fruit nailed it down as San Piero, also known as Negro Largo, Douro Black, Aubique Noir, Large Blue, Lee’s Perpetual and California Brown Turkey, among other names. The name California Brown Turkey distinguishes it from Eastern Brown Turkey, a totally different variety that I also grow, and which itself is also known as English Brown Turkey, Everbearing and Texas Everbearing. A few years ago, a woman on Millrock Road in New Paltz offered me her potted

fig tree; she was moving and didn’t want to take it with her. (Understandable: I also didn’t take all my 35 varieties of fig from my garden in Maryland when I moved up here to the Hudson Valley.) Still, hers was an offer that I could not refuse; perhaps that potted plant would bear the best fig ever. In a pot in the greenhouse this year, the tree finally bore fruit: greenish-yellow and round, with the insides bursting to split the skin. It’s a keeper, and I’m adding to the nomenclature confusion by calling it Millrock Fig until I learn otherwise. Another fig – this one named by Jack Algiere, the farmer at Stone Barns farm – is bearing heavily and looks to keep doing so for weeks to come. I have espaliered this tree, Rabbi Samuel, against a greenhouse wall in the form of a permanent low tee. Fruiting shoots rise vertically about six inches apart from the upper side of each arm. This variety bears best on new shoots, so my plan is to cut all vertical stems down near the arms each winter, and then thin out new growth so that vertical shoots are no closer than six inches apart. The Rabbi’s fruits are humongous: as big as small apples. What makes the fig so popular a fruit, even in climates far removed from the hot summers and mild winters that it calls home? Perhaps a love for this ancient fruit, whose provenance is in one cradle of civilization, is coded into our DNA – and of course the flavor: sweet and juicy without being cloying. Although a subtropical plant, fig is accommodating to colder climates. You can hack back its roots: useful when providing new potting soil for pot-grown plants. It’s deciduous, so doesn’t need light in winter: useful in northern climates when looking for a cold-but-not-too-cold place to store the dormant plant. Most varieties do not need pollination to set fruit. And figs bear quickly and propagate easily. Most important, in contrast to most temperate-zone fruits, fig plants can bear on new wood. Some varieties bear on one-year-old wood, and some bear on both old and new wood. Bearing on new wood (as does Rabbi Samuel) makes it convenient to cut back a potted plant when maneuvering it indoors for winter, or if winter cold kills part of the top of an outdoor plant. In either case, a plant that loses too much of its top requires a longer growing season before fruits start ripening. Fruits keep ripening along new shoots, as they grow, until arrested by cold. Hence, my prediction for a few more weeks of fruit from Rabbi Samuel in the greenhouse. Those fruits hang in stark contrast to the scene outdoors, where leaves of tomato, pepper and other tender plants have been blackened by the first killing frost here of 25 degrees Fahrenheit,

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.
