She’s May, he’s December On Saturday, November 15 at 8 p.m., Actors & Writers will present a staged reading of Middle of the Night, a play

by Paddy Chayefsky, at the Shadowland Theatre in Ellenville. Chayefsky, who wrote the Oscar-winning screenplays for Marty, The Hospital and Network, remains the only screenwriter to win three solo Academy Awards. Middle of the Night, Chayefsky’s first Broadway success (1956), is the story of the then-taboo romance between a middle-aged widower and a much younger woman, which consternates and alienates a large ensemble cast of family and friends. It is truthful, funny and moving, and daring for its times.

Shadowland, at 157 Canal Street in Ellenville, is a beautiful old theatre that was recently renovated. There is ample

Jonathan Richman at Rosendale Theatre Jonathan Richman, who plays at the Rosendale Theatre this Friday night, November 14, may have become the archetypical rock ‘n’ roll troubadour.

He has been a prodigious songwriter since breaking out on the scene as a knowingly naïve acolyte of the late Lou Reed’s first band, the Velvet Underground, back in the early 1970s.

CCE IN KINGSTON TURNS 25

T

he Center for Creative Education (CCE) will celebrate its 25th anniversary with a recital at the Kingston High School auditorium at 7 p.m. on Friday, November 14. Tickets cost $10 for adults and $5 for students. The event will feature performances by the Energy Dance Company, POOK (the Percussion Orchestra of Kingston) and the students from the CCE’s afterschool dance and music programs. There will also be a special appearance by Energy alumni recreating their award-winning choreography.

On Saturday, November 15, there will be a Gala Celebration at Backstage Productions (BSP) on Wall Street in Uptown Kingston featuring food, drink, live music, an auction and dancing. The evening will begin in the Lounge at 6 p.m. with a VIP hour featuring an intimate live performance and hors d’oeuvres.

Guests will then be invited to the newly renovated BSP event space for dinner, and more guests will be joining for dancing, dessert and an auction. Tickets cost $150 for those attending the VIP portion, $75 for the dinner and $25 for dessert and dancing.

CCE was founded in 1989 by Evry Mann, who realized the need to bring innovative, high-quality arts education programs to the Kingston area’s lowincome and at-risk children and youth. “This has been just an amazing journey, and we wouldn’t be here were it not for the dedication and commitment of so many gifted people over the years,� he says. “We owe our success to our wonderful teaching artists, board members and volunteers, who have made the Center for Creative Education such an exciting place. And now, in addition to our site in Midtown, we have recently opened a new location in Beacon.�

Since partnering with Bryant “Drew� Andrews in 2000, CCE has reached thousands of young people with dance, music and fitness programs. “We have been able to create and sustain a small-but-effective, community-based organization in which we are blessed to share our passion with others,� says Andrews. “We all look forward to the next 25 years of service.�

His first band, the Modern Lovers, was one of the shining lights for what would become punk, New Wave and indie-rock. His later career as a solo act or, in recent decades, an evertouring duo delight backed by his longtime drummer Tommy Larkins, is akin to the latter careers of many of rock’s pioneers – only it’s filled with so much damn fun!

We’ve seen him do entire sets a capella or sotto voce, apart from any and all amplification as he whispers his way around a room, rocking everyone one by one. His lyrics are funny – until you find his melodies drawing tears down your cheeks. He dances, he mimes, he affects a hipster idiot tone that gets belied as soon as he switches from doo-wop to French, and then launches into some funk or Velvets classic. Richman is a true original, and every show that he puts on is different from the next.

ALMANAC WEEKLY

SOME ACTS OF TRIBUTE, LET’S FACE IT, are parasitic and opportunistic feedings off the superfluous fame of others; other acts of tribute are deeply personal, humble, demanding and noble. This one’s that.

Neil Alexander pays tribute to Jim Decrescenzo in Woodstock

My friend the clown, actor and musical comedian Glen Heroy earns part of his cobbled entertainer’s living from his uncanny ability to “do� Elton John and especially the tremulous, disorientedbut-ever-willing-to-be-Ozzy, late-period Ozzy Osbourne. Glen’s art is no mere mastery of wardrobe and a finely observed set of signature manners; he inhabits the roles fluidly, interacting with audiences in character and with a big fluttering wink. To see it live, it’s a nervy tightrope of double identity.

And it is from Glen that I have learned not to call such performers “impersonators� any more. They are now to be known as “tribute artists.� I can hear the PC-phobes scoffing as they get off the bus, but deal with it already. These salutatory linguistic tweaks that we make, these fine calibrations of connotation and subtext, are never for the benefit of the first users, the early adopters, to whom they may always feel unnatural. They are our little gift to the next generation: a proper biasing of the language that we pass along in hopes that it might rewire future brains to be a little less dull and piggish than ours, that our own sluggish and partial awakenings to each other might be the start of something cumulative and lasting.

Does it work? Hell, I am not smart enough to know that; but “tribute artist� is a modest win/win adjustment in any case. It dignifies the craft of the performer and the worth of the subject.

My friend the pianist, composer, bandleader, synth master, dance accompanist and Stravinsky interpreter

Jim Decrescenzo

Neil Alexander earns part of his cobbled musician’s living from acts of musical tribute. Some of this has been high-profile roleplaying, such as his years of touring with the famous Pink Floyd cover band the Machine. But most of Alexander’s tribute work has been of the labor-of-love, keeper-of-the-flame kind. For the lavishly talented Alexander, musical tribute means duty, service and humility at the feet of his personal masters, and it is the opposite – the exact opposite – of an easy buck.

If, for example, you have any appreciation at all of that first generation of jazz/rock fusion – the wild, groovy fusion of early Weather Report and Herbie Hancock, in which the spirit of Miles was still so strong – run, don’t walk to see Alexander’s extravagantly hot Weather Report tribute band Mr. Gone.

Like his Mahavishnu band before it, Mr. Gone masters some extremely demanding music and honors artists for whom no one is clamoring anymore. You know that this particular tribute is a hard road to hoe when Shorter himself can hardly make a buck being Shorter.

So it is labor and it is love, period, and those values alone can explain what Alexander is up to this week. Early in his career – long before it was a career – Alexander was, in his own words, just

fooling around with music. In 1979, he crossed paths with a more serious dude: a bassist and budding prog/fusion composer named Jim Decrescenzo. They formed a promising band, along with drummer Louis Magliente. Decrescenzo’s passion and skills pushed the other guys, accelerating their growth.

A mere year into the endeavor, Jim found out that his girlfriend was pregnant, and he decided to “do the right thing� by getting married and giving up music.

Before disappearing from Alexander’s life as magically as he had appeared, he turned over to Alexander a folder of scores that he had written – serious, complex stuff – and a cassette of recordings that he had made with multiple bass parts on a four-track deck.

Alexander lost track of Decrescenzo, but kept the folder and the tape to honor his peer/mentor. Many years later, and well into his own validated musical career, Alexander ran into Decrescenzo and learned that “Deke� had relocated to Woodstock, where he earned his living as a master woodworker. Jim was surprised to hear that Alexander had kept the folder of scores – even more surprised that Neil had recorded one of his tunes, “Box 555,� in 2001. Alexander tried unsuccessfully to cajole Decrescenzo back into music, but they rekindled an old friendship in the process.

When Jim Decrescenzo died last September, Neil Alexander began to envision ways to honor his old friend and mentor, the talent and the dream

Arlo Guthrie

MUSIC

Arlo at the Bardavon

A

rlo Guthrie didn’t choose his name, but the heir to one of the great legacies in American music and culture has certainly earned it.

A master songwriter, a social commentator and activist and storyteller who has some pretty choice stories to tell, Guthrie is practically synonymous with American and, through own ingenuity and tireless imagination, is responsible for connecting the politically aware folk of his father and Pete Seeger with the political and musical foment of the ’60s.

Guthrie was born in Brooklyn’s Coney Island in 1947: the eldest son of America’s most beloved singer/writer/philosopher Woody Guthrie and Marjorie Mazia Guthrie, a professional dancer with the Martha Graham Company and founder of the Committee to Combat Huntington’s Disease. He grew up surrounded by dancers and musicians: Pete Seeger, Ronnie Gilbert, the Weavers, Leadbelly, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee – all of whom were significant influences on his musical career. Early into adulthood, he inherited his father’s friend Pete Seeger, and the two toured together – between demonstrations – beginning in the late ‘60’s. They continued doing over a dozen shows together almost every year for the next 40, a legendary collaboration that culminated in a final performance in November 2013 at Carnegie Hall in New York City.

Guthrie has been called a no-hit wonder, an artist of international prominence who has never had a hit song in the usual sense. His best-known song, “The Alice’s Restaurant Massacree,” is far too long for radio, and many of his other mostloved songs were too politically inflammatory. Perhaps in the long run, the lack of conventional industry success has helped Guthrie sustain his career and his relevance.

Folk music icon Arlo Guthrie performs at the Bardavon in Poughkeepsie on Sunday, November 16 at 7 p.m., his first appearance at this venue in over 20 years. Tickets cost $65 for Golden Circle seating, $50 general admission, $45 for members and are available at the Bardavon box office at 35 Market Street in Poughkeepsie, (845) 473-2027; the Ulster Performing Arts Center box office at 601 Broadway in Kingston, (845) 339-6088; and via TicketMaster at (800) 745-3000 or www.ticketmaster.com.

of music that he had abandoned so young. Never one to take tribute lightly, Alexander assembled a cast of capable and sympathetic players, pored over the scores

available to me for the purposes of this article. Other than attesting to the talent of a chopsy, imaginative player with a very detailed compositional vision, this music speaks to the paradox of fusion.

Routinely considered to be a variant of jazz, fusion of this kind had little to do with improvisation and less to do with swing; it is all about the strenuous execution of difficult passages, frenetic counterpoint, breakneck tempos: the animal joys of youth and talent colliding.

The sad part, of course, is what the music says about what might have been.

Some acts of tribute, let’s face it, are parasitic and opportunistic feedings off the superfluous fame of others; other acts of tribute are deeply personal, humble, demanding and noble. This one’s that.

Harmony Music of Woodstock hosts “Jim Decrescenzo: A Celebration of His Life & Work” on Wednesday, November 19 at 7 p.m. The tribute band includes Alexander, Brian Mooney, Chad McLoughlin and Jason Furman, with special guests Ted Orr, Steve Rust and Peter Buettner.

will be premiered: one by Belmont, The Rainbow Song, and one by chorus member Paull, Together We Stand. All the music has been arranged by Belmont, who also plays guitar and bass.

The Rainbow Chorus meets once a week at the LGBTQ Center, where the acoustics are good and the camaraderie is even better. “We always welcome new members in all voice parts: sopranos, altos, tenors and basses,� says Goodwin. “We seek folks who love to sing and can carry a tune. The ability to read music is helpful, but not required.� Hailing from throughout the region, from Hopewell Junction to Woodstock and all points in between, group members practice a wide range of contemporary music and old standards, focusing their voices on tight harmonies and lots of syncopation.

The concert is both a fundraiser for the chorus and an opportunity for the greater community to get to know about the group. A meet-and-greet with refreshments will begin at 5 p.m., and the music will start a half hour later.

Time for a hootenanny: a pure dollop of kick-up-your-heels Americana – with singalongs and dancing to boot – as a means of reminding ourselves that all seasons turn and pass, and that there are simple joys in all that life offers, especially when musical and sharable.

PITCAIRN PLAYS “RED MENDELSSOHN�

STRADIVARIUS AT BARD

I

t’s not often that an audience will come out to see the instrument as much as the player, but on Saturday, November 15, the celebrated violin virtuoso Elizabeth Pitcairn will be in a popularity context of sorts with the very instrument she holds: the legendary 1720 “Red Mendelssohn� Stradivarius, the Christie’s auction of which in 1990 is said to have inspired the 1999 Academy Award–winning film The Red Violin.

The program includes a world-premiere performance of composer Sara Carina Graef ’s new work, Blue Vishuddha (2014), as well as Franz Schubert’s Rondo for Violin and Piano (“Rondeau Brillantâ€?); Gabriel FaurÊ’s Sonata No. 1 for Violin and Piano; Franz Liszt’s Liebestraum No. 3; and Ludwig van Beethoven’s Sonata No. 9 for Violin and Piano. The recital will take place in the acoustically superb Sosnoff Theater at Bard’s Fisher Center.

Born in 1973 in Pennsylvania, Pitcairn made her New York debut at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall in 2000 with the New York String Orchestra, and appeared as a soloist with the Philadelphia Orchestra at the Academy of Music. She made her Walt Disney Concert Hall debut with the California Philharmonic and performed at Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall. She returned to China to perform the Bruch Violin Concerto with the Shenzhen Symphony Orchestra.

This season she gives recitals in New York and Pennsylvania with pianist Barbara Podgurski, in Hungary with Aniko Szokody and in Mexico with Louise Thomas, and makes her Fisher Center recital debut with Cynthia Elise Tobey. She performs in Bulgaria with the Classic FM Orchestra, and will record the Bruch and Beethoven Violin Concerti conducted by Maxim Eshkenazy.

Bluegrass Gospel Project in Rosendale Ever hear the phrase “high lonesome sound�? It defines a whole style of bluegrass singing where the goal is to hit a tenor purity that’s a bit of a wail, a whole lot of moan and a deep reach into the spiritual longing that many feel is key to mankind’s soul. And it’s not just male in nature; it’s present in the classic harmonies of the Carter Family, and that entire Appalachian equivalent to the blues still alive, in spurts, in our nation’s country music – but also much for which serious rockers and soul-intrigued artists have spent lifetimes searching.

This Friday – the same night that another form of classic music takes center stage just down the street – the Rosendale CafÊ will be offering up an evening with the Bluegrass Gospel Project, a group of six experienced bluegrass pickers and singers come together to explore the gospel side of their chosen music’s heritage ( just as many, from Elvis to U2 and Dolly, have done before them). The fact that they’ve been harmonizing together for a decade or so gives them a particularly rousing

Chris Smither plays Helsinki Hudson Chris Smither is one of those pedigreed musicians whose story captures the arc of American folk music from its early flirtation with the blues into its own territory about national decay and survival. His background included a New Orleans youth, with some schooling in Paris and equal saturation in the liberal arts culture of his home (akin to Lucinda Williams and so many others of his ilk); a promising songwriting start in the Boston and New York folkie scenes of the mid-to-late 1960s; a brief flirtation with rising fame as the up-and-coming Bonnie Raitt’s favorite writer and guitarist; and then a long fallow period wrestling with his 1970s demons. Then he came back a journeyman small-club performer with a steady stream of brilliantly understated album releases. Think in terms of the arc that makes great sleeper Oscarwinning hits for aging actors – but also a superb concert mixing fine music with a deep sense of lived narrative with which to pull the heartstrings.

Smither is a frequent visitor to the area, but always worth catching. Catch him with the Motivators this Friday at Helsinki Hudson.

Organic book-signing & panel discussion in Red Hook

istoric Red Hook and the Red Hook Community Arts Network, in conjunction with the Village of Red Hook, will host a panel discussion at the Elmendorph Inn on Sunday, November 16 at 2 p.m. to discuss the question, “What does organic really mean?” The panelists will explain from their own personal perspective about what the word “organic” means to them in terms of producing, distributing and consuming food. How has the movement helped raise awareness, and how has it become a buzzword for big food? How does the term encompass more than just food, and what is the economic impact on the farmer, chef and ultimately the consumer?

The panel will be moderated by photographer Francesco Mastalia, whose beautiful book of images Organic: Farmers & Chefs of the Hudson Valley (PowerHouse Books) was released last week. To create the book, Mastalia photographed more than 100 Hudson Valley farmers and chefs using the labor-intensive wet-plate collodion process, a technique developed in the 1850s when the art of photography was in its infancy. As his work on the book progressed, Mastalia discovered that “organic” is one of the most misunderstood and often-misused words describing food today.

The panelists include Laura Pensiero, chef/owner, Gigi Hudson Valley; Richard Beizynski, farmer, Northwind Farms; Ethel Barone, farmer, Red Hook Farms; Liana Hoodes, executive director, National Organic Coalition; and Jennifer Brizzi, healthy living educator at Mother Earth’s Storehouse and Almanac Weekly columnist. Before and after the presentation, guests are invited to view a display of photographic images of farming and farmers, circa 1900, from Historic Red Hook’s own glass-plate negative collections.

Following the discussion at 3:30 p.m., everyone is invited to a post-discussion exhibition closing reception and book-signing at the Red Hook Community Arts Network Gallery, just down the street at 7516 North Broadway. Refreshments will be served.

Copies of Organic: Farmers & Chefs of the Hudson Valley will be available for purchase at the reception, and those panelists who have portraits featured in the book will also be taking part in the book-signing.

All parts of this event are free. The Historic Elmendorph Inn is located at 7562 Route 9 in Red Hook. For information, call (845) 758-6575 or go to www.francescomastalia.com.

ED SMITH SMALL SCULPTURE SHOW AT BCB ART IN HUDSON

E

d Smith, art professor and gallery-director at Marist College, has a new exhibit of sculptural works opening at BCB Art in Hudson on Saturday, November 15. Smith began the pieces in “Multum in Parvo” (Latin for “Much in Little”) while recovering from a back injury.

As he lay in bed, he sculpting with clay on his chest.

“My practice of making small sketches and models of my ideas has evolved over the years,” he explained. “They’ve continued to give me a great deal of joy, bringing me back to my days as a young boy when I would set up great panoramas of toy soldiers.”

The resulting short, five-to-six-inch-high sculptures are of heroic figures, fragmented and captured as if so powerful that they broke of their own accord.

BCB will show the pieces alongside drawings and prints by the Guggenheim Award-winner, who has been collected by a host of international museums through December 21. Smith lives and works in Columbia County.

– Paul Smart Ed Smith, “Multum in Parvo” opening, November 14, 6-8 p.m., through December 21, BCB Gallery, 116 Warren Street, Hudson; (518) 828-4539, www.bcbart. com.

Esopus Creek Conservancy Benefit

reat benefits come with even-greater benefits. First, there’s the fact of what’s being benefited, and the warmth and sense of dedication that a place such as what the Esopus Creek Conservancy (ECC) celebrates: that special part of Saugerties where the famous creek pools before slipping over the village’s mighty waterfalls. Then there’s the food, libations and music involved in such an occasion, which for this Saturday’s event will include the great Celtic cello talents of the renowned Abby Newton, backed by pianist Selma Kaplan, along with donated food and wine from the community’s many topnotch eateries and stores.

But the real glory of the upcoming Esopus Creek Benefit will be the art that will get sold off at $100 a pop at evening’s close, all created by local artists who were given eight-by-eight-inch canvases by the ECC, on which they were to capture their views, thoughts, feelings and musings about the Esopus. Expect to be thrilled, amused and tied back into the wonder of this essential local waterway.

The art will stay up, for sale, through Sunday, November 23, when there will be a closing reception in the afternoon.

Site speciďŹ cs WAAM hosts MASS MoCA curator Susan Cross on “Rethinking the Museum Modelâ€?

W

hen mid-Hudsonites consider the subject of adaptive reuse of industrial sites to provide large open spaces for the exhibition of modern art, we tend to think first of the former Nabisco-box-manufacturing plant that became Dia:Beacon. I don’t mean to diss that fabulous venue in any way; but another entity within easy driving distance, MASS MoCA, got there first, in 1999. And 15 years on, it remains a cutting-edge explorer of the ways in which the buildings that house art exhibitions can become integral components of the creation of art itself – not just passive backdrops or containers.

Susan Cross, curator of Visual Arts at MASS MoCA, will be visiting the Woodstock Artists Association & Museum this Sunday afternoon to talk about her experiences there and what’s coming up next, “Rethinking the Museum Model.�

The 19th-century factory building complex straddling the Hoosick River in North Adams, Massachusetts that became MASS MoCA started out as the Arnold Print Works, thriving during the Civil War by manufacturing printed cloth for the Union Army. Rebuilt and expanded after a catastrophic fire in 1871, it employed more than 3,000 workers by 1905. Competition from Southern mills forced the textile facility’s closure in 1942, but the Sprague Electric Company quickly stepped in, employing a large, mostly female workforce to make capacitors by hand.

Electronic components of the trigger for the atomic bomb and the launch system for the Gemini moon missions were developed and manufactured at Sprague, and during the company’s 1960s peak, 23 percent of the North Adams population worked there.

But in the mid-1980s, competition from places with a cheaper labor force – in Asia this time – again put a Berkshires-based industry out of business, with no other industrial users lining up to move in. In quest of places to hang oversized artworks in their collections, some folks from the nearby Williams College Museum of Art started thinking outside the blank white box and got the ball rolling on a 13-year process to fundraise, clean up, renovate and convert the factory site into a new type of art venue.

Right from the get-go, MASS MoCA’s operators tinkered with the notion that whatever they exhibited, long-term or short, had the potential to be in some way site-specific, beyond the obvious need for big viewing spaces for big paintings and

resides here. While the themes that run throughout the works featured in “Home Grown� reflect many of the major trends and concerns currently being explored in the broader art world, they also reflect a particular regional profile: an awareness of the symbiotic bond and the tensions that exist between humanity and nature, and a fascination with practitioners of the region’s longstanding cultural traditions. “Home Grown� will be on view from Saturday, November 15 through Sunday, January 11. Admission to the CPW galleries is free, and they are open to the public from Wednesday through Sunday from 12 noon to 5 p.m. and by appointment.

sculptures. A photographic chronicle of the siteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s revitalization became one of its earliest exhibits. Group exhibitions like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Material Worldâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Workersâ&#x20AC;? and installations like Dave Coleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Knitting Machine and especially Simon Starlingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Nanjing Particles â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which used a stereoscopic photo of 19th-century Chinese factory workers, imported to break a strike in North Adams, to inspire two largescale metal sculptures â&#x20AC;&#x201C; integrated the siteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s industrial history directly, if abstractly, into the art itself, clouding the distinctions between work and setting.

Other installations, like Katharina Grosseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spray-painted dirt piles overflowing balconies and Jenny Holzerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s projections on the walls, utilized the siteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s physical infrastructure as part of the art, literally. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Badlandsâ&#x20AC;? environmental art show brought the outdoors indoors. Even just as a large space for large artworks, MASS MoCA pushes old boundaries by making room â&#x20AC;&#x201C; conceptually as well as physically â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for artists to hang a Mies van der Rohe glass house (IĂąigo Manglano-Ovalleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gravity Is a Force to Be Reckoned With) or six live trees (Natalie Jeremijenkoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tree Logic) upside-down from the ceiling. If Earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biosphere is our home, a single complex living cell and the incarnation of the goddess Gaia all in one, then by a similar metaphor, MASS MoCA is the Muses and all their wildfires of inspiration made manifest in red brick. The art museum permeates and becomes the art.

A former Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum curator, Susan Cross has been organizing major exhibitions at MASS MoCA since 2006, including â&#x20AC;&#x153;Spencer Finch: What Time Is It on the Sun?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Material World: Sculpture to Environment,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Workers: Precarity/Invisibility/Mobilityâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Invisible Cities.â&#x20AC;? Her recent curatorial projects include â&#x20AC;&#x153;Darren Waterston: Uncertain Beautyâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Dying of the Light: Film as Medium and Metaphor.â&#x20AC;? Cross also served as the juror for WAAMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2014 Solo Shows.

Poughkeepsie Ice House is more than just a summer fling

T

here are some places where you can catch a meal or drink that are close to the Hudson River, and some that overlook a bit of it. But few are right on it, upclose and personal like the Poughkeepsie Ice House at the bottom of Main Street.

Its dream location is nestled in the middle of Waryas Park, flanked by the MidHudson Bridge and the Walkway over the Hudson. There is ample indoor and outdoor seating right on the water, and a parking area feeds the restaurant directly: no need to wander through the lovely park to get to it.

The Ice House looks like it has been there forever, and I guess in a way it has. In the old days when there was no refrigeration, the river helped out by obligingly freezing over every winter, allowing pedestrian strolls from Dutchess to Ulster Counties. It also provided a harvest of huge blocks of ice that would be hauled to ice houses all up and down the river via steam-powered chain elevators.

The Ice House is a participant in Hudson Valley Restaurant Week, which ends on November 16.

There it was kept frozen between layers of sawdust until warmer days when it was needed.

The Poughkeepsie Ice House was once

one of these, and still charmingly looks the part. After the invention of refrigeration, most ice houses were burned or taken down; but the Poughkeepsie one stayed mostly intact, sitting empty and deserted for years. I remember years ago attending festivals in Waryas Park and not even noticing the barren shell of a building in the middle of the park; that’s how drab it

was. But like a phoenix, it was reborn as a restaurant in September 2012, as homage to its previous life.

Owner Michael Lund gutted it all, putting in stamped-concrete flooring, exposing the brick and keeping the beams to enhance the 25-foot ceilings. Up high on the wall at the entry are large brass letters spelling “City of Poughkeepsie 1799.” Vintage photos, porthole shapes, replicas of boats and ships, a giant canoe suspended from the rafters all support a nautical theme. The restaurant has 84 seats, and there is a view of the water from every red-stained table as well as the long wooden bar.

Although the Ice House is open every day of the year except Thanksgiving and Christmas, catering and other events are a mainstay. So far the largest event that it hosted was for 180, but that was during fair weather; 100 is the maximum the indoor section holds. A recent wedding ceremony

COURTESY OF OTTO’S MARKET

Otto’s Market in Germantown

TASTE

W

GERMANTOWN IS JUMPIN’

ant a glimpse of the Hudson Valley in peak new form, mixing past, present and future in a naturalistic, decidedly yummy fashion? Look no further than bucolic Germantown, just south of Hudson and north of Tivoli, with its K-12 school, one of the state’s last family-owned hyperlocal phone (and now telecommunications) businesses and a quietly cool central business crossroads that draws customers from several counties.

Holding down the “new” Germantown, besides a growing number of imports from the city, has been the expanding Otto’s Market, a dream version of what a small-town grocer can be these days. It was built within the former home of Central Market, constructed in 1927 and in existence until 2006, when the place closed for nearly two years before reopening with a mission to be “the best small grocery store in the Hudson Valley” on December 3, 2008.

New owner Otto Leuschel’s arrival in Germantown follows a modern-day regional pattern: He recalls running markets in his state-of-Washington home as a kid, went on to work at Whole Foods in a variety of hipster locations, San Francisco, New York City and London among them. Then he happened on the store that’s now his namesake “while driving around looking at farm properties. The minute I walked in, I knew it was what I wanted to do.”

Now the place holds down a busy trade serving made-in-store meals, from breakfast to dinner takeout, as well as a wild assortment of cool items such as Quisp, Chemex coffeepots, GuS Soda, Rick’s Picks pickles and loads of locavore products.

That has led Leuschel to the opening of the newer Germantown Variety store across the street, in what was built in the early 1920s following a disastrous community fire as a Grange Hall that, among other things, previously housed a dancehall, a basketball court, a movie theater, a brassiere factory, a jewelry factory, a drugstore with soda fountain, a piano store and a café. Now the place is an updated version of an old-style general store, offering everything from Made in America hardware, office supplies and housewares to top-shelf Wooster artist brushes, sewing “notions” and gads of eco-friendly cleaning and beauty supplies – all in an old-style, penny-candy-at-the-counter sort of way. Two grey store cats, Hansel and Gretel, make things even homier.

Next door, the old Lawlor’s Liquor Store – not yet renovated and in the same family that was running the place 50, 60 years ago – has upgraded its wine and spirits offerings to match the upgrades in clientele, available foods and stemware available at the Variety Store. Furthermore, the old Central House Inn, built in 1876, has been restored, and there’s talk of possible eateries coming to town, besides a popular pizzeria a short drive out of the center.

“We want to be the local Main Street grocer of a bygone era that people now long for in these times of high stress and limited free time,” reads the rest of the Otto’s mission statement. “The store is designed and stocked for the full-time and part-time residents. Prices and selection are approachable, and the store is a reliable one-stop shop... We will operate as an excellent community citizen, participating in the town’s events and initiatives and working with local business and organizations to improve the economic development of the area. The store is a community gathering place…” Talk about the new Germantown, the evolving Hudson Valley.

THIS IS NO ORDINARY HISTORICAL DOCUMENTARY: Poitras’ camera takes us right there, inside that hotel room, for a couple of weeks during which Snowden turned over reams of insider information and talked in detail about the many ways the US government and its international allies known collectively as the Five Eyes systematically spy on their own citizens.

Say hi to Big Brother

WikiLeaks attorney speaks at Saturday screening of Citizenfour, the explosive documentary about Edward Snowden at Upstate Films in Woodstock

F

ans of political thrillers, documentaries and horror movies are generally viewed as different demographics. But a new film about to hit the screens – and to generate tons of paranoid buzz – is the perfect Venn diagram of a product designed to please (and rattle) all three of those disparate segments of the moviegoing audience. It’s called Citizenfour, and if you can walk out of it without an overpowering desire to disconnect from all social media, turn off the GPS in your cell phone and start finding ways to avoid using the Internet altogether, you have a strong stomach indeed.

Citizenfour is a white-knuckled, skincrawling, intimate view of the process by which National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden contacted the filmmaker, Laura Poitras, and an American-born, Brazil-based journalist working for The Guardian named Glenn Greenwald and arranged to meet them in Hong Kong, safe from prying eyes, in May 2013. This is no ordinary historical documentary: Poitras’ camera takes us right there, inside that hotel room, for a couple of weeks during which Snowden turned over reams of insider information and talked in detail about the many ways the US government and its international allies known collectively as the Five Eyes systematically spy on their own citizens.

While they were still holed up together, with Snowden’s blessing, Greenwald began to break the story – and the world reeled.

More than a year later, public opinion remains divided as to whether Snowden is a courageous, patriotic whistleblower, a narcissistic publicity hound or a dangerous traitor. Poitras’ straightforward cinema vérité technique lets viewers make up their own minds. But seeing Snowden unvarnished by hype, right in the throes of deciding how radical a break with his family, homeland and career he is willing to endure in order to make terrifying truths known, and explaining exactly why he is doing so, creates a powerful impression of a plainspoken man with

no hidden agenda. This is no jet-setting Julian Assange character, laden with lurid baggage about his possibly illegal sexual exploits, but a brilliant, geeky, earnest, unassuming 30-year-old who learned too much in his work as an information systems administrator with the highest level of security clearances to sit comfortably in his own skin anymore without letting people know what was being done to them. In real time, we see him pointing out to the journalists which files’ contents ought never to be published because they might endanger CIA agents or their contacts. This man, it’s clear, is no enemy agent bent on doing the US harm.

Poitras sets the footage of Snowden’s clandestine meetings with herself, Greenwald and his British Guardian colleague Ewen MacAskill within a broader timeline, beginning with screenshots of attempts by “Citizenfour,” as Snowden called himself, to establish secure online contact with the journalists and ending with domestic glimpses of his current place of exile in Russia, where his longtime girlfriend has joined him. In between we see interviews with William Binney, an earlier NSA whistleblower whom Poitras profiled in The Program (2012), the short film that first brought her and Greenwald to Snowden’s attention. We witness bloodcurdling courtroom scenes in which attorneys for AT&T blithely rationalize intrusions into their customers’ personal data and congressional hearings in which highranking government security officials tell what we now know to be baldfaced lies about their domestic surveillance practices. And we watch a drillpress make Swiss cheese of MacAskill’s hard drive as the Guardian knuckles under pressure from the UK government to destroy the incriminating data that Snowden gave him.

in terms of onscreen action and recorded in the crudest of shooting conditions, are the heart of the film. Consequently, Citizenfour isn’t going to win any prizes for cinematography or art direction. The biggest visual excitement is Snowden trying to obscure his face with an umbrella in order to dodge a s s e m b l e d paparazzi as he leaves the hotel, after Greenwald has already begun leaking his revelations in dribs and drabs.

But it’s as taut as any espionage thriller ever made, because it’s real, and because the victims of said espionage are you and me and everyone else we know.

Go see Citizenfour prepared to learn a lot about topics that most of us probably prefer to push out of our minds, in terms of the appalling pervasiveness of government surveillance of…basically everyone, regardless of whether or not we’ve ever done anything to arouse suspicion of any sort. Be prepared to accept that the NSA can know, if it so chooses, not only where you went yesterday, what you did and what you bought, but also whom you met. Be prepared to accept that certain agencies have effectively abolished privacy for the nonce.

But, adds Snowden, don’t be prepared to accept that it has to be that way indefinitely. He may never be able to come home, since the law under which he has been charged, the Espionage Act of 1917, draws no distinction between a whistleblower who wants to expose illegal government activities and a spy

who wants to sell government secrets to another country with whom the US is at war. He has no legal leg to stand on. But other whistleblowers have begun coming forward in the past year, inspired by his example, and government officials are scrambling for spin control. The cat is out of the bag.

Snowden thinks that it’s worth the sacrifice.

Citizenfour will screen at Upstate Films in Woodstock from November 14 through 20.

The matinée screening at 2 p.m. this Saturday, November 15, will be followed by a discussion with Michael Ratner, former professor Law at Columbia and Yale and president emeritus of the Center for Constitutional Rights. Besides having a mile-long résumé of involvement in human rights and civil liberties cases, nationally and internationally, he’s also the attorney in the US for Julian Assange and WikiLeaks. So you can bet that his perspective on the Snowden case will be an eye-opener.

If you value your freedoms, you won’t want to miss this one, though you may not sleep quite so soundly afterwards, knowing that Big Brother is not only looking over your shoulder, but has moved in with you. In the wise words of Yossarian in Joseph Heller’s Catch-22 (a character haunted, ironically, by the preventable death of an airman named Snowden), “Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they aren’t after you.”

NIGHT SKY

The burning cat event

“T

Why original thinking isn’t enough he cat caught fire.” It was my answer to the simple question, “Anything special happen today?”

Supposedly, everything that can be said has already been expressed. But I’d never, ever heard anyone ever talk about feline flammability. It was

a new area.

(The cat was fine. She’d brushed her longhaired tail closely over a candle flame on a friend’s table. The momentary whoosh of high flames was amazing. Despite singed fur and a horrible smell, she never even seemed aware that it happened.)

So it is with new ideas: Mostly there aren’t any. The Big Bang theory – which maintains that the universe traces its origins to a precise natal instant – is an extrapolation from what we see here on Earth, when each rabbit and Twinkie arises at a fixed moment in time. It stands opposed to eternal existence. But there’s no scientific way to know which is real.

Cosmology, the study of the universe as a whole, remains largely bewildering.

No one has yet discovered if the universe is infinite versus bounded; what it really contains; what dark energy, vacuum energy and dark matter are; whether distant objects influence us instantaneously; whether consciousness is connected with it and so on: all the important basics. The fault is not that you lack a degree in Astrophysics; that wouldn’t help. The problem lies much deeper.

Start with this: Are our dead-ends due to insufficient information that will someday be remedied, or does knowledge have absolute limits? The British geneticist John Haldane famously said, “The universe is not only queerer than we suppose; it’s queerer than we can suppose.”

If true, we may be fooling ourselves in assuming that this cosmos as-a-whole is mentally knowable to any real degree. And speaking of “mental,” our brains supply their own structural limitations, whose mysteries parallel those of the cosmos that they study.

Hence another relevant quote, this one from South African botanist Lyall Watson: “If the brain were so simple we could understand it, we would be so simple we couldn’t.”

We sorely want the universe to make sense, and yet it’s composed of subatomic particles that follow quantum laws that do not make sense. Worse, we routinely observe utterly unfathomable phenomena – like twin expanding bubbles made of gamma rays that radiate from empty spots precisely above and below our galaxy’s center. There’s simply no way to explain them. They are so enormous that they take up half of the southern sky. We can’t even make guesses.

Big bubbles, Big Bang paradoxes and consciousness are stupendous issues. Yet these ideas rarely make the cocktail-conversation circuit, despite having good potential for intelligent discussion. The reason, I think, is that they don’t connect with a critical mass of other concepts. To sink one’s teeth into a new heady subject, to even start the ball rolling, there must be a thread connecting it with something already well-known.

Planets, by contrast, meet this standard. The media quickly grasped that there was

plenty of “ink” in the notion of new planets around other stars. “New planet” is an archetypical catchphrase, consisting of two easy words. If one of them is a color, it’s practically guaranteed to stick in the public mind: Red shift. White dwarf. Red giant.

Black hole.

In contrast, the media avoid paradox, impossible complexity, questions DIONunanswerable OGUST | ALMANAC WEEKLY and the reality that logic works to perfection on some levels, while in others it seems to have no value. Peer reviewers have similar biases, which in turns steer and limit the research and discussions that can even arise.

Our knowledge quest is also hampered not just by our tendency toward non-originality, but also by the sheer impossibility of mentally visualizing such likely universal aspects as infinite space, timelessness and solipsism: One Mind. It has become ever more obvious that symbolic, dualistic processes such as thinking may simply be the wrong tool for tackling bedrock cosmological issues.

Consider this real situation: a measuring box known to bias the properties of half the electrons passing through it. If they do not pass through the device, these electrons stay the same; if they do pass through, half are reliably changed in a particular way.

But when we force them through a series of such boxes, some characteristics that have nothing to do with these devices change, while others do not. The paths that some of the electrons have taken reveal that they have neither passed through the detectors nor not passed through. They have done something else. They have found some other “choice” beyond those that we can imagine.

No one has the slightest idea how objects can perform these impossible feats of antilogic. That they do is duly noted, given a name (they’re said to be in “superposition”) and even exploited for our inventions. But naming these actions does not mean that we can explain them. We cannot.

That nonlogical things happen faithfully enough to be scientifically predicted is a development that first arose in the 20th century. In some ways, science is starting to resemble faith. It’s requiring “leaps.”

It’s fun, but we’ll have to get used to it.

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

Buried treasure A ripe watermelon finds refuge from the frost in a cozy compost pile

C

ould I possibly be the best gardener west of the Hudson River? Perhaps. As evidence: On November 1, here in Zone 5 of New York’s Hudson River Valley, where temperatures already have plummeted more than once to 25 degrees Fahrenheit, I was able to harvest a fresh, dead-ripe watermelon – not from a greenhouse; not from a hoop house; not even from a plastic-covered tunnel. Watermelon: a crop sensitive to frost and thriving best in summer’s sun and searing heat.

Okay, perhaps I can’t assume all that much responsibility for the melon. Let me explain: Every fall, I have a landscaper dump a whole truckload of leaves vacuumed up from various properties at my holding area for such things.

Rain and snow drench the pile in the coming months, starting it on the road to decomposition. When sufficiently warm weather has decided to stay in spring, I scoop out a few holes in the pile, fill them with compost, then tuck in watermelon transplants.

Last fall’s pile yielded well from summer until early fall this year, at which time I gathered up remaining melons for eating or, if unripe, for composting along with the vines. The tractor, with its bucket, was able to move and compact the now-

dense pile to make way for this year’s crop of leaves.

Now we’re up to November 1: time to spread the leaf mold before it freezes – a big job that necessitated enlisting the help of my neighbors Jeremy and Ben. We were loading and hauling and loading and hauling, forking deeper and deeper into the bowels of the pile, when Jeremy yelled that he’d just speared a watermelon that I had overlooked when cleaning up.

I cleaned it off and sliced it open. It proved to be a ripe watermelon. The taste? “Awesome,” to quote Jeremy.

Green peppers are unripe peppers, but if the fruits have just a hint of red on them, they can ripen even after harvest to full red (or yellow, orange or purple, depending on the variety of pepper) color

Okay, I admit to not being able to claim too much credit for the ripe watermelon. How did it get there?

Was it ripe and overlooked, then buried and preserved in the warm bowels of the leaf-mold pile? Was it unripe when buried, then subsequently ripened? Probably not. No leaves were poking out of the pile, capturing the sun’s albeit-weak rays for photosynthesis to make the sugars needed for ripening. A couple of nights of 25 degrees would have done in the leaves anyway.

Some fruits can actually ripen after harvest. These include apples, pears, bananas, avocados and other socalled climacteric fruits. Just before

ripening, respiration of climacteric fruits dramatically increases, along with a burst in production of the plant hormone ethylene. Through a feedback mechanism, ethylene stimulates more respiration, which in turn stimulates even more ethylene production and even-quicker ripening. Hence, enclosing bananas in a bag stimulates ripening, and why one rotten apple (injury, whether mechanical or from pests, also elicits an ethylene response) can indeed “spoil the barrel.”

This burst in ethylene production occurs even after climacteric fruits have been harvested, as long as they were sufficiently mature at the time. You can’t pick a golfball-sized green apple and expect it to ripen off the plant.

Non-climacteric fruits lack that pre-ripening spike in respiration and ethylene production, and do not ripen after harvest – or so the thinking, based on early experiments, went. According to more recent research, fruits show various degrees of ethylene production.

Watermelon is not a climacteric fruit, but at a certain point the white flesh within does release a burst of ethylene, some time after which it morphs from bland and unripe to sweet, red and ripe. But that won’t happen off the vine.

“Ripe” is open to some debate. Peach, for instance, is a climacteric fruit that, if picked sufficiently mature but underripe, will soften and become more edible.

But it won’t develop the aromatics of a tree-ripened fruit or, until rotting changes starches to sugars, become at all sweeter after picking. I don’t call that “ripe.”

So my watermelon must have been overlooked and ripe, and evidently kept perfectly well in the moist warmth of the leaf pile.

Ethylene, and not me, is going to take credit for the fresh, sweet red peppers in today’s salad. Peppers are a climacteric fruit. Green peppers are unripe peppers, but if the fruits have just a hint of red on them, they can ripen even after harvest to full red (or yellow, orange or purple, depending on the variety of pepper) color and, at least to my tastebuds, flavor.

Skill is needed to ripen peppers off the plant. Cool-but-not-too-cool,

temperatures hold the fruits for storage and warmer temperatures, then speed ripening. Just the right amount of humidity is also needed to, on the one hand, avoid drying, or on the other hand, rotting. My wife Deb, rather than I, plies these skills, so should probably get credit for the ripe red peppers.

This season has been the best pepper season ever, both in quantity and in quality. King of the North peppers – large and blocky with thick, juicy walls, now ripening in a basket – taste as bland now as they did all summer. I won’t grow them again. In contrast, Carmen, Sweet Italia and (slightly hot) Pepperoncini peppers, also ripening in that basket, taste as good now as their siblings did, snapped from plants basking in summer heat and sun a few months ago.

BOOK LAUNCH IN WOODSTOCK FOR LESLIE GERBER POETRY COLLECTION

L

The Creative Music Foundation has partnered with Columbia University’s Library to preserve the CMS Archive for posterity. CMS is giving Columbia the full archive of recorded tapes, along with memorabilia and photographs from CMS. The digitized, remastered recordings will be available at the Columbia University Library for scholars or others who want to enjoy and learn from them. A prestigious grant from the Grammy Foundation also supported the restoration and preservation of the CMS Archive Project.

As part of its nonprofit mission, CMF is offering “guiding artists” who made these rare recordings a digitized version for their unrestricted use, free of charge. At the discretion of the guiding artists, selections of the remastered, digitized recordings will be made available in CD compilations to help raise money for the Creative Music Foundation and its music education programs. CMF is partnering with the American Composers’ Forum and its Innova recording label to release these compilation recordings. Each volume will feature three compact discs full of rare recordings divided into small ensemble, orchestral and world music performances. The first edition went on sale in spring 2014 and is available on iTunes and Amazon.com.

Poet Leslie Gerber

Saugerties (which I run), I’ll be the featured poet. I’ve sworn up and down that I would never feature myself, but figured I could make an exception for a book.”

Born in Brooklyn and schooled at Brooklyn College, Gerber moved to Ulster County in 1970, and has lived in Phoenicia and Saugerties and now resides in Woodstock.

Gerber has taken poetry workshops with Sharon Olds, among other notable poets.

He co-founded (with Cheryl A. Rice) the local writers’ group Goat Hill Poets – socalled because he lived on Goat Hill Road at the time – on Olds’s advice. Seven poets meet every month to share work and give each helpful critique. “We have a wonderful synergy. Everyone is very supportive, and that doesn’t mean we won’t say, ‘Throw that one out.’”

When asked what other poets he enjoys reading, he says that he likes contemporary poets best. “Of course, Billy Collins – I liked him even before he wrote a blurb for me – and Sharon Olds. They read back-to-back at the Woodstock Poetry Festival one year. Most of the work in my book came after taking her workshops, her influence.

I hugged her at the last Geraldine R. Dodge Festival in Newark and gave her a copy of the book.” He lists other favorites: Mark Doty, C. K. Williams, Marie Howe. “I love Marie Howe – and quite a number of local poets: Patricia Smith, Susan Sindall, Judith Kerman, Elizabeth Gordon, Gretchen Primack. I could go on forever.” Gerber will be teaching a class on Contemporary Poetry at the Center for Lifetime Studies at Marist College in Poughkeepsie, a volunteer senior citizens’ program where he has taught Music for 20 years.

How he got the blurbs for his new book is yet another story. “I have a local reputation, but in the outside literary world I don’t exist – certainly not yet. After I got permission from Billy Collins to use his blurb, I had the bright idea that if I have one big name like that, getting somebody else would multiply the effect. I wrote to every poet or prose writer I’ve ever had contact with, asked if I could send a sample of the poems and asked for blurbs. Some people said, ‘Sorry, don’t have the time.’

But I got letters from three other writers; it was astonishing to me. I thought if I got one of them, I’d be lucky.” He has four big-time writers lending their accolades on his back cover: not bad for a first book.

After a career on radio (WDST), a long stint at mail-order classical music sales and an attempt to play piano, he began writing poems. “I came to it very late, when I was 55,” he says, describing how a series of nightmares prompted him to write poetry. “It started to feel interesting, and my wife encouraged me. That really meant something, because she was a professional writer, supporting herself entirely by writing, for years.

When she said I had some promise, I said, ‘Okay.’ I used to send her poems by e-mail from work. She would write back and give me suggestions, and sometimes she’d write ‘needs work’ – which meant, ‘Throw it out.’”

Fortunately for lovers of poetry and the spoken word, Gerber kept at the writing. In addition to poems, he has written thousands of music reviews and articles, some for Almanac Weekly. But he says, “I don’t play anything anymore. I never developed the fluency that a professional musician has. My mother was a professional-level pianist. I could never do what she did. These days I say I’m glad I quit – not only because it was so frustrating, but also because it made room in my life to write poetry.”

He mentions his good luck in having met the poet J. J. Clarke, who was a highlight of the Woodstock poetry scene back then. “I would send him poems, and he’d make encouraging and helpful comments. That’s why my book is dedicated to those two people: Clarke and my wife Tara McCarthy.”

Gerber is referring to Lies of the Poets, a recently released collection of his work.

He explains that the title poem is about made-up stories of famous poets: Whitman, Frost, Shakespeare and others. “I ran into Billy Collins – certainly one of my favorite poets – at Omega Institute,” he says. “I got into a discussion with him on the topic of exploitation films because of a poem he read about a couple of Siamese twins in vaudeville.” Gerber happened to have seen the film, plus another one that the twins were in, and subsequently loaned Collins a copy of the second one.

They corresponded back and forth, and Gerber sent Collins more movies in this strange genre, and included a copy of the poem “Lies of the Poets,” wherein Collins is mentioned. “He said he enjoyed the movies and wrote, ‘Your poem is clever and erudite enough to rescue your dubious reputation.’ Last year I took a writing workshop with him and asked permission to use that line as a blurb on my book. There it is.

‘Lies of the Poets’ had to be the title poem.”

Lies of the Poets, published by Post-Traumatic Press of Woodstock, will be celebrated at a book-launching party this Saturday afternoon at the Woodstock Artists Association and Museum, where Gerber and friends from Goat Hill Poets will read and copies of the book will be available for $8. “I’m also doing a reading on Friday, December 5 at the Calling All Poets Series at Howland Art Center in Beacon.

DION OGUST | ALMANAC WEEKLY

Jonathan Kligler of the Woodstock Jewish Congregation is one of several area rabbis who will speak during the full day of classes and discussions.

Day of Jewish Learning

T

he Ulster County Jewish Federation (UCJF) and SUNY-Ulster are co-presenting the area’s first Day of Jewish Learning at Vanderlyn Hall at the college in Stone Ridge on Sunday, November 16 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Ellen Treibwasser, coordinator of the day and a member of the board of the Jewish Federation, says that the event is about learning things about being Jewish from different members of the community outside of a synagogue setting. And one doesn’t have to be Jewish to get something out of hearing the speakers, who will range from rabbis to laypersons with specific expertise and knowledge.

Sometimes in a synagogue setting, says Treibwasser, the rabbi might not have the time or the opportunity to delve into deeper explanations of important parts of being Jewish. The speakers at the Day of Jewish Learning will address these kinds of things. “These are things that interest and excite the teachers,” she says, “stories that people might not know or Hasidic stories that people are not familiar with.

These are all things that the teachers involved really love talking about, and we want to open this up to the entire community.”

Speakers will include Vera and Seymour Nussenbaum, the aunt and uncle of Glenn Grubard, a congregant at Temple Emanuel. “He’s been wanting to bring them to the Kingston area for some time now,” says Treibwasser, “and this seemed like a good opportunity. And while neither is someone you’re likely aware of, their stories of tenacity and survival are inspiring.”

Seymour Nussenbaum fought in the Resistance, using his knowledge of

BOOK

RICHARD NORTON SMITH TALKS ABOUT NELSON ROCKEFELLER IN HYDE PARK

T

he Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum will host a free book talk and signing with presidential historian Richard Norton Smith, author of On His Own Terms: A Life of Nelson Rockefeller, at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, November 18 in the Henry A. Wallace Center in Hyde Park. Fourteen years in the making, On His Own Terms: A Life of Nelson Rockefeller is a biography of the original Rockefeller Republican, drawing on thousands of newly available documents and more than 200 interviews, including Rockefeller’s own unpublished reminiscences.

Grandson of oil magnate John D. Rockefeller, Nelson coveted the White House from childhood. “When you think of what I had,” he once remarked, “what else was there to aspire to?” Before he was 30, he had helped his father develop Rockefeller Center and his mother establish the Museum of Modern Art. At 32, he was Franklin Roosevelt’s wartime coordinator for Latin America. As New York’s four-term governor, he set national standards in education, the environment and urban policy. The charismatic face of liberal Republicanism, Rockefeller championed civil rights and health insurance for all.

Three times he sought the presidency – arguably in the wrong party. At the Republican National Convention in San Francisco in 1964, locked in an epic battle with Barry Goldwater, Rockefeller denounced extremist elements in the GOP: a moment that changed the party forever. But he could not wrest the nomination from the Arizona conservative, or from Richard Nixon four years later. In the end, he had to settle for two dispiriting years as vice president under Gerald Ford.

In On His Own Terms: A Life of Nelson Rockefeller, Smith recreates Rockefeller’s improbable rise to the governor’s mansion, his politically disastrous divorce and remarriage and his often-surprising relationships with presidents and political leaders from FDR to Henry Kissinger. A frustrated architect turned master builder, an avid collector of art and an unabashed ladies’ man, “Rocky” promoted fallout shelters and affordable housing with equal enthusiasm. From the deadly 1971 prison uprising at Attica and unceasing battles with New York City mayor John Lindsay to his son’s unsolved disappearance (and the grisly theories that it spawned), the punitive drug laws that bear his name and the much-gossipedabout circumstances of his death, Nelson Rockefeller lived an eventful life.

“This is one of the greatest cradle-to-grave biographies written in the past 50 years. It’s never dull and always joyfully lucid. Highly recommended,” says presidential historian and FDR Library trustee Douglas Brinkley. Copies of Smith’s book will be available for sale after the talk.

EVENT

Rare Open House at Rhinebeck’s restored Montgomery House

O

n Sunday, November 16, for the first time in more than 25 years, the entire first floor of the historic General Richard and Janet Livingston Montgomery House will be open to the public. The house is the headquarters of the Chancellor Livingston Chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR).

The house, believed to have been built in the 1750s, was gifted to General Montgomery and his wife, Janet Livingston, by Livingston’s grandfather, judge Henry Beekman, upon their marriage in 1773. The house was intended as a temporary residence for the couple while their Rhinebeck estate, Grasmere, was being built.

Montgomery was a former British soldier who returned to military service to fight for the Colonies in the Revolutionary War. He was mortally wounded in the Battle of Quebec in 1775, and Janet moved into Grasmere, and eventually into the property that is now known as Montgomery Place.

The house was bought and sold several times until the late 1800s, when the owner wanted to tear down the modest house and build a larger one in its place.

Understanding the house’s historic and symbolic significance, the leaders of the Rhinebeck Reformed Church acted quickly to save the building by moving it across town to its current location on Livingston Street in Rhinebeck. “That must have been quite a feat,” says NSDAR member Dorothy Fricker. “You don’t just pick it up and put it on a truck. We suspect that they rolled it on planks across town.” And it’s a good thing that they did: The house is the oldest in the Historic District.

Since 1917, the Montgomery House has undergone several renovations in the interest of historic restoration and preservation. In 1930, the founder of the Chancellor Livingston Chapter of the NSDAR, Helen Reed de Laporte, deeded the house to the chapter. Prior to this, the Victorian Era additions of a dormer and a front porch were removed. From the outside, the building that now functions as the local NSDAR headquarters is hardly recognizable as the same one that stood in its place in 1917.

Following the passing of the house’s longtime caretaker earlier this year, members of the Chapter determined that the part of the house that functions as the caretaker’s quarters was in need of a major overhaul. They raised as much money as they could in a short period of time and got to work immediately. Of the rooms that were

military camouflage in America’s topsecret Ghost Army. And Vera Nussenbaum was on the first Kindertransport that sent hundreds of Jewish children from Nazicontrolled Germany to safety in England during World War II. Among the area rabbis who will speak during the full day of classes and discussions are Aura Ahuvia and Jonathan Kligler from the Woodstock Jewish Congregation, Yitzchok Hecht and Avrohom Itkin of Congregation Agudas Achim/Chabad, David Nelson of Bard College, Yael Romer of Congregation Emanuel in Kingston and Zoe Zak of Temple Israel in Catskill. Participating area lay leaders include Eva Sax-Bolder, who will lead a session on chanting; Judith Kerman (a/k/a Reb Kugel), who will share her interpretations of humor in Judaism; and Ellen Triebwasser, a “sageing mentor,” UCJF board member and the event coordinator. Cantor Devorah Gartner of Congregation Ahavath Israel in Kingston will lead an “instant choir” and offer activities for any children ages 8 to 12 who attend; registration for the rest of the event is open to those aged 13 or older.

Topics to be discussed include “Judaism after Einstein: Sacred Metaphors from Physics,” “Creating Community through Sacred Hebrew Chant,” “Gratitude & Teshuvah: A Healing Path,” “Transformative Women of the Bible,” “Finding New Ways to Talk about God,” “Spiritual but Not Religious: Exploring our Innate Capacity for Inner Growth as Human Beings and as Jews” and “Is it Really God’s language?”

There will be a Jewish-themed book exchange, with participants invited to bring up to five books each. Treibwasser says that attendees may bring “goodquality books on Jewish subjects, whether that’s history books, novels or even cookbooks or children’s books. The idea is for everybody to go home with something

and to have very few books left over.” Even those who do not bring any books will be welcome to select some, but attendees are asked not to bring sacred Jewish texts, Treibwasser says, because they cannot be recycled if unusable, as they require burial when disposed of.

Online advance registration for the event at www.ucjf.org is encouraged and costs $20 for adults, $15 for teens.

Admission at the door on the day of the event will cost $25 for adults and $18 for teens. There will be no admission charge for anyone aged 8 to 12. Admission includes a kosher dairy lunch and snacks.

The house, believed to have been built in the 1750s, was gifted to General Montgomery and his wife, Janet Livingston, by Livingston’s grandfather, judge Henry Beekman,

renovated, two of them are original to the house. Not only were these rooms in need of some serious cosmetic work, but the walls themselves were also at risk of falling down. “There were holes in the walls, and just by pressing on them you could feel them move,” says Fricker.

In addition to stabilizing the walls, the NSDAR members opted to have the original pine floors gradually and carefully stripped down to the original wood, which was hidden under many layers of paint. While the older rooms were preserved, the kitchen, which was added in the 1930s and remodeled in the 1950s, was gutted and modernized. Fricker said that it was a hard call to make, but in the end, the NSDAR decided that there was nothing to be gained by restoring it to its 1930s look. “If you’re going to have someone living there, you need to have an efficient kitchen.”

And if you’re going to have someone living there, you can’t have curious visitors stopping by daily – which is why the NSDAR is hosting a special Open House from 1 to 4 p.m. on Sunday, November 16. Refreshments will be served and members of the chapter will be present to answer questions at this free event. “The whole focus [of the NSDAR] is to teach history and preserve and foster a spirit of patriotism,” says Fricker. The museum portion of the house, usually available only by appointment, will also be open.

He is currently counsel to McCabe & Mack in Poughkeepsie and teaches at New York University School of Law. This event will be held at the

Auditorium at 105 Market Street in Poughkeepsie.

On Sunday, November 23 at 2:30 p.m., the First Congregational Church at 296 Mill Street hosts “Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Lincoln is Elected President! The South has Seceded!” Step back in time with the Dutchess County Anti-Slavery Singers and a reenactment of the fiery sermon preached on the eve of Lincoln’s inauguration, after the Deep South seceded, by Reverend Moses Tyler, an abolitionist who was then pastor of this Poughkeepsie church.

Boughton Place hosts Iraq veteran/author Derek McGee

n honor of Veteransâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Day, Boughton Place in Highland will host an author talk and book-signing with Derek McGee on Friday, November 14 at 7 p.m.

In â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Middle East and the Search for the Right Amount of Meddling,â&#x20AC;? heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll discuss his recent memoir, When I Wished I Was Here: Dispatches from Fallujah. The reading, presented as part of Boughton Placeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new monthly Conversations series, will be held on the Moreno Stage at the nonprofit arts, education and community center.

McGee served two tours in Iraq and wrote the memoir about his experiences there. â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;How do good people do bad things?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I once asked. By the end of my time in Iraq, I asked, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;How do people do good things at all?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? The book was described by film director Wes Craven as â&#x20AC;&#x153;beautifully written and very moving... God knows itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a story that needs to be told, and Derek tells it like it is.â&#x20AC;?

After the reading, McGee will lead an audience discussion about the complex situation and turmoil that continue to plague the Middle East. Signed copies of the book will be available for purchase. McGee is also the author of a recent article, â&#x20AC;&#x153;An Iraq Vetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Journey from Wall Street to Occupy Wall Street,â&#x20AC;? published in The Nation.

The cost to attend the event is a suggested $5 donation.

The Boughton Place property has two main buildings on its four acres, with classroom and workshop space, kitchens, a gazebo, wi-fi, an accessibility ramp, bedrooms for overnight stays, four bathrooms (two with showers), a large screened porch, plenty of parking and landscaped grounds.

The monthly Conversations series is just in its beginning stages. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a roster of potential presenters,â&#x20AC;? says Langley, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but nothing is set in stone. It was a vision of our board president to start a sort of salon-style, interactive series of conversations on a variety of topics. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve spoken to somebody about doing a Japanese tea ceremony presentation; to a number of writers; somebody might be doing a healthy lifestyle presentation â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really going to be a kind of smĂśrgĂĽsbord.â&#x20AC;?

While the discussion with Derek McGee takes place on a Friday, Langley says that the Conversations series will be moving to every second Thursday evening in the future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And if anybody is interested in presenting something for the Conversations program, just contact us.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Sharyn Flanagan Conversation with Derek McGee, Friday, November 14, 7 p.m., $5, Moreno Stage, Boughton Place, 150 Kisor Road, Highland; (845) 691-7578, www.boughtonplace. org.

Lecture on Native place names in Stone Ridge The Stone Ridge Library will host an illustrated lecture titled “The Poetry of Place: Native American Place Names in Ulster County,” featuring professor Evan Pritchard, director of the Center for Algonquin Culture, on Wednesday, November 19 at 7 p.m. in the Marbletown Community Center.

In his talk, Pritchard will discuss poetic meaning in the Native American place names in Ulster County. A reception will follow.

“Algonquin place names tended

towards clever wordplay and purposeful ambiguity since before contact,” says Pritchard. “In fact, some are more like poems than sentences.

Frequently, the Dutch joined in the process and reshaped these words to have a similar sound and meaning, but in Dutch. Then, in some instances, the English did the same to the new Dutch words. While there are Algonquin place names from North Carolina to the Maritimes similar to our own, New York is the only place where one finds these ‘Double-Dutched’ place names: literary time capsules for those who want to understand the ancient history of our region.”

Pritchard, of Celtic and Algonquin descent, is the author of more than 20 books about Native American culture,

including Native New Yorkers, No Word for Time, Bird Medicine, Native American Stories of the Sacred and his newly released book of poetry, Greetings from Mawenawasic. Pritchard taught Native American Literature at Pace, Marist

and Vassar Colleges. His website, www. algonquinculture.org, features a detailed list of his books.

Introducing People’s Place Facebook Fundraising Friday: Every Friday, People’s Place posts a photo of a special item in like-new or new condition, and the person who messages the largest donation wins the item.

Other donations needed right now include coats, blankets and new socks.

I have another thought for you: While donations are needed right now for the holidays and for the cold-weather months, it’s in January, February and March that the pantry shelves run low or empty, and fewer volunteers are available. Consider pulling together some of your resources to help in the New Year as well.

I normally celebrate places where “History happened here,” but this time, I have to modify that by saying, “A movie about history happened here!” Three of my favorite organizations, the Mohonk Preserve, the Rosendale Theatre and the Ashokan Center, team up to present The Better Angels, A. J. Edwards’ story about the childhood and early life of Abraham Lincoln. Not only did they shoot scenes on the Preserve, but they also involved some local youth. I can’t wait to see it!

Here’s the quote that inspired the title, spoken by Lincoln on March 4, 1861: “The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield, and patriot grave, to every living heart and hearthstone, all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.”

Screenings take place at the Rosendale

Family Book Club in Walden If you happened to read a terrific book lately about an old lady who swallows all kinds of Thanksgiving dishes, you could be one of the families participating in the Family Book Club at the Josephine-Louise Public Library. I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Pie by Alison Jackson is a charming book filled with rhythmic phrasing and delightful illustrations, and it not only makes for terrific group discussion and activities, but it would also be a great gift to present at Thanksgiving to read together between dinner and dessert.

The Family Book Club meets on Tuesday, November 18 from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m., and registration is required. The Josephine-Louise Public Library is located at 5 Scofield Street in Walden. To register or for more information, call (845) 7787621 or visit www.waldenlibrary.org.

Family-friendly activities in Hudson Libraries are the place to be all week long, and the Hudson Area Library spices things up for youth at every Tuesday from 3:30 to 7:30 p.m.

Dr. Lewis Mehl-Madrona

EVENT

MAMA HOSTS WORKSHOP ON REDISCOVERING MAGIC

D

uring the weekend of November 15 and 16, Dr. Lewis Mehl-Madrona, Barb Mainguy and Peter Blum will facilitate a workshop at Marbletown Multi-Arts (MaMA) in Stone Ridge, addressing the issue of how to reintroduce magic into our lives.

“How do we bring magic into the Muggle world? By Muggle world, I mean a world constructed in a materialistic worldview,” asks Mehl-Madrona. “We need to believe in magic for magic to exist...How many times have you heard someone say, ‘The world just isn’t that way’? Most people don’t want to believe in magic, and they don’t want us to believe in magic. They want an orderly, predictable world in which linearity prevails and nothing exciting much ever happens (except bad stuff like wars and crime). How do we create magic in such a world? How do we create things like an abundant future, health and wellness and even happiness in a world of pessimists and malcontents? In this workshop, we’ll explore just that. We’ll play with ceremony, hypnosis, dreaming, singing, music, puppets and our imaginations.”

Mehl-Madrona graduated from the Stanford University School of Medicine and trained in family medicine, psychiatry and clinical psychology. He is the director of training for the Coyote Institute, a not-for-profit dedicated to programs encouraging self-healing and transformation; as well as director of the Geriatric Fellowship at the Maine Dartmouth Family Medicine Residency. Mehl-Madrona is of Cherokee and Lakota heritage, and is the author of Coyote Medicine, Coyote Healing and Coyote Wisdom: a trilogy of books on what Native culture has to offer the modern world. His latest book, Healing the Mind through the Power of Story: The Promise of Narrative Psychiatry, discusses the power of changing our stories to change our lives.

Peter Blum lives in Woodstock, where he has practiced Ericksonian hypnotherapy, neurolinguistic programming and sound healing for decades. In 2004, he was awarded Instructor of the Year by the National Guild of Hypnosis.

Blum has studied healing and ceremony with Beautiful Painted Arrow (Joseph Rael) and Mehl-Madrona for more than 25 years.

Barbara Mainguy graduated from Concordia University in Montreal and York University in Toronto and works with Mehl-Madrona in Maine.

Rather than a set fee for the workshop, there is a suggested donation of $90 to $150 per day. No one will be turned away, regardless of ability to pay. For more information or to register, contact Peter at pblum@hvc.rr.com or call (845) 5941209.

OK, I admit it, I’m a hugger. I love to hug people and I love getting hugged back. Today we have to be careful that our actions are not considered overtly sexist or hold inferences that can be suspect. BUT A HUG? I can think of nothing more human than sharing a big hug. Drew Barrymore said, “Oh, I love hugging.

I wish I was an octopus, so I could hug 10 people at a time!” I totally agree with her. It has slowly become accepted that men can now hug each other openly without silly inferences about masculinity (hey, the mafia does it!). A hug is a basic sharing of open warmth and affection. So if you are working with us buying a house, you may expect a hug.

Sit back & relax

We love the web. It’s fast. It’s free. It connects us to people and information from around the world.

It feels good to cut the cord. To immerse yourself in a good book or article, to hold it in your hands.

But it’s not perfect. Some sites collect personal data, putting you at risk of identify theft.

Leaning forward, staring at a screen causes headaches. E-mail and chat are constant interruptions. Our minds weren’t made for this.

We’re there for you on the web, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. For the best coverage of your community, with the best reading experience, subscribe at subscribe@ ulsterpublishing.com.

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.

animals

CAT of the week; Rhett; handsome 5-year old male who loves people & cats. He’s 14 pounds of pure love & affection. He & his 2 cat roommates were abandoned when their owner was evicted. All are available for adoption. Check out Zircon; large orange older male who’s very laid back. Pumba; curious young male that just needs a good home. Mumford; regal looking grey & white fella w/a big personality. Fargo; easy going older male that likes to be picked up.

Dolly, she’s small & shy but once you take a chance & get to know her, you won’t regret it. DOGS: PEBBLES; excitable, beautiful young female who loves walks, playtime & cuddles. NATHAN; Another young pit mix, this little guy loves life & all the playtime he can get. DEE; 5-year old Chow Chow/Collie mix who’s very mild mannered & calm. She’s good w/cats, selective w/other dogs, & great w/people. She’d make a great fit for a family without other dogs. YANNI; This 10-year old German Shepherd doesn’t see very well, so it’s scary for him to be around other animals or children. Please foster or adopt him!

SHEBA; unique 7-year old is more like a cat than a dog. She loves to take walks & play, especially w/Tennis Balls! Needs a quiet home w/no dogs, cat, or kids. TROOPER; 2-year old mixed breed, high energy, full of love to give & a great jogging companion.

We’ve still got some great GUINEA PIGS: low maintenance, full of funny squeaks & noises, great for kids! GIZMO; the perfect classroom pet for a teacher. Also, come & meet cage-mates MAPLE, THUNDER, HARMONY & PRECIOUS. We’ve got more Flemish Giant Rabbits than you can shake a carrot at! We’ve got them in white, brown and black. Come and meet BROWNIE & CUPCAKE. COME SEE US and all of our other friends at the ULSTER COUNTY SPCA, 20 Wiedy Road, Kingston (off of the traffic circle).
