UPAC screens Hitchcock’s North by Northwest this Friday The 1959 Alfred Hitchcock suspense thriller North by Northwest will be screened on Friday, November 22 at 7:30 p.m. at the Ulster Performing Arts Center (UPAC). North by Northwest is directed by Hitchcock, stars Cary Grant, Eva Marie Saint (above) and James Mason and features Leo G. Carroll and Martin Landau. The film is a fast-paced tale of mistaken identity, with an innocent man pursued across the US by agents of a mysterious organization who want to stop his interference in their plans to smuggle out microfilm containing government secrets. North by Northwest was nominated for three Academy Awards, for Film Editing, Art Direction and Original Screenplay. The film also won, for Lehman, a 1960 Edgar Award for Best Motion Picture Screenplay. In 1995, North by Northwest was selected for preservation in the US National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being “culturally, historically or aesthetically significant.” General admission tickets cost $6, or come dressed as a US president and get in for free. Tickets are available at the Bardavon box office at 35 Market Street in Poughkeepsie, (845) 473-2072, or the UPAC box office at 601 Broadway in Kingston, (845) 339-6088.

TheaterSounds performs The Morini Strad in Kingston The TheaterSounds Hudson Valley Playreading Series will present The Morini Strad on Saturday, November 23 at 8 p.m. Based on a reallife event in the life of violin virtuoso Erica Morini, this two-character play by Willy Holtzman will be presented at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of the Catskills in Kingston. Admission is free and the public is

welcome. Beneath the witty, sharp dialogue of this sensitive drama, The Morini Strad examines the value of art, the cost of artistic ambition, the realities of aging and the fleeting nature of fame. Under the direction of Douglas Koop, Nicola Sheara performs the starring role of the aging former child prodigy opposite Broadway actor Stephen Bogardus. (Both actors appear courtesy of the Actors’ Equity Association.) Now in its 12th season, TheaterSounds has brought more than 150 professional actors in some 110 plays to its Kingston venue.

Paris Was a Woman this Saturday at Upstate Films in Rhinebeck During the turbulent genesis of the modern, politically engaged American independent film and video movement, centered in downtown Manhattan from the late 1970s through the 1980s, one of the leading lights by any measure was documentarian Greta Schiller. Among the first filmmakers championed by the then-fledgling organization Women Make Movies, the openly lesbian Schiller was a pioneer in chronicling the early years of gay activism, co-directing the 1981 documentary Greetings from Washington, DC. In 1984 she teamed up with writer/researcher Andrea Weiss to direct Before Stonewall, which won two Emmy Awards. As Jezebel Productions, Schiller and Weiss went on to unearth the lost stories of the topnotch female African American jazz musicians who toured the world in the 1930s and ‘40s in 1986’s International Sweethearts of Rhythm. But their most acclaimed work to date is the 1996 documentary Paris Was a Woman. Upstate Films in Rhinebeck will host a special screening of it this Saturday, November 23 at 1 p.m., followed by a question-andanswer session with Schiller and Weiss in person. Paris Was a Woman is a feature-length portrait of the creative community of women writers, artists, photographers and editors who flocked to the Left Bank of Paris in the 1920s. Novelists Gertrude Stein, Djuna Barnes, Colette and Natalie

Barney, painter Marie Laurencin, photographer Gisele Freund, publishers/ booksellers Sylvia Beach and Adrienne Monnier, New Yorker journalist Janet Flanner, singer Josephine Baker and many others come to life in the award-winning documentary. The film also examines their connection to male artists of the era, including Picasso (whom Stein discovered and promoted), Joyce (who drove Beach to bankruptcy when she published his “obscene” masterpiece Ulysses) and Hemingway (who began as Stein and Toklas’ errand boy and owes a clear stylistic debt to Stein). Like its subjects, Paris Was a Woman is a classic. Tickets cost $8.50 for general admission, $5 for members. Upstate Films is located at 6415 Montgomery Street (Route 9) in Rhinebeck. For more information, call (845) 876-2515 or visit http:// upstatefilms.org.

I WISH I COULD TELL GUSTAV HOLST that the situation has improved since his death in 1934. Alas, the only good news we have for Holst is that The Planets is more beloved than ever, and its enduring popularity has positioned him as one of the rock stars of orchestral music, albeit a one-hit wonder

G

ustav Holst complained late in life that the fame his orchestral suite The Planets, like some kind of musical kudzu, had grown to define his oeuvre pretty much to the exclusion of everything else that he had composed. I wish I could tell Gustav that the situation has improved since his death in 1934. Alas, the only good news we have for Holst is that The Planets is more beloved than ever, and its enduring popularity has positioned him as one of the rock stars of orchestral music, albeit a one-hit wonder. With its astrological themes and structure and the sharp musical distinctiveness of each of its seven movements, The Planets lends itself to spectacle and is often performed with accompanying visuals. It inverts the dynamic movement that we tend to expect of orchestral works, beginning with the dark, martial energy of “Mars” (from which John Williams

NASA

learned a thing or two about Vadering) and ending with the distant, airy and alien “Neptune,” a high point in serious 20thcentury music. On Saturday, November 23 at 8 p.m., the Bardavon presents the second performance by the Hudson Valley Philharmonic of the 2013/14 season, including

The Planets accompanied by rare images from NASA and the Hubble Space Telescope. This is also the closing event of the Bardavon’s “SkyFest: Astronomy & the Arts” series. Maestro Randall Fleisher will conduct the program, which will also include Prokofiev’s Symphony no. 7, op. 131. Ticketholders are invited to a pre-concert talk by Maestro Fleischer with members of the orchestra one hour before curtain. Tickets for Holst’s The Planets range in price from $32 to $54. Student Rush tickets will be available one hour prior to the concert for $20. Tickets can be purchased at the Ulster County Performing Arts Center box office at 601 Broadway in Kingston, (845) 339-6088; at the Bardavon box office at 35 Market Street in Poughkeepsie, (845) 473-2072; and via Ticketmaster at (800) 745-3000 and www.ticketmaster.com. – John Burdick Holst’s The Planets, Hudson Valley Philharmonic, Saturday, November 23, $20, $32, $54, Bardavon; (845) 473-2072, www.bardavon.org.

Bryan Adams

CONCERT

STILL CUTS LIKE A KNIFE Bryan Adams plays UPAC in Kingston this Monday

I

n 2010, Canadian rock legend Bryan Adams released the intimate live album Bare Bones. Accompanied only by pianist Gary Breit, Adams takes an obviously enthralled audience on a hit ride and career retrospective, saving “Cuts like a Knife” and “Summer of ‘69” for the back end of the set as he flexes the catalogue that made him one of the biggest sellers of the ‘80s. Most of these songs were written to nail the last row in the stadium, and it is surprising how well they hold up to the come-closer unplugged treatment. Adams’ melodic hooks are seldom surprising, but never much disappointing, either. His sentiments are macro, his language common, his images rock-archetypal. As gravel-voiced as ever, but having lost none of his power or range, Adams remains a stout and fit vehicle for his own variety of torchy, broad-gesture pop rock and balladry, and I dare you not to be swayed by some of it, even as your hipster conscience objects. If Bare Bones is any indication, Adams in his mid-50s will have no problem ringing the rafters at the Ulster County Performing Arts Center (UPAC) or drawing the audience in close with his self-deprecating humor and his tales of rock stardom. Bryan Adams performs solo at UPAC in Kingston on Monday, November 25 at 8 p.m. – John Burdick Bryan Adams solo concert at UPAC in Kingston, Monday, Nov. 25, 8 p.m.; Tickets $80, $60 and $34.50, depending on seat, available at UPAC box office, 601 Broadway in Kingston, (845) 339-6088; Bardavon box office, 35 Market Street in Poughkeepsie, (845) 473-2072; and via Ticketmaster at (800) 745-3000 and www.ticketmaster.com.

UPAC hosts “Solid Gold Saturday Night: Remember the ’50s” “Oldies” has two distinct meanings. In its most generic sense, it means “anything that is old,” in the same way that “indie” means “anything not associated with major labels.” But even as your favorite music of the ‘80s and ‘90s ages irrevocably, it does not mature into “oldies” and never will. This is because the oldies genre references and reveres one specific period, one particular brand of old: the pop, soul and early rock ‘n’ roll of the ‘50s and ‘60s. That era was a heyday and a high point for the arts of pop arranging, recording and singing. Spend a few hours with a true oldies station sometime (I recommend 98.9 FM) if you want to know how pop is really supposed to be put together. It’s a musical education. Our fascination for this era and its achievement never seems to wane. The “Solid Gold Saturday Night: Remember the ‘50s” concert, featuring three groups, a salute to the Drifters and the Platters plus special guests the Corvettes Doo Wop Revue, appears at the Ulster Performing

Arts Center (UPAC) in Kingston on Saturday, November 23 at 7 p.m. Reserved seats cost $35 to $45 based on location. Tickets for “Solid Gold Saturday Night: Remember the ‘50s” are on sale at the UPAC box office at 601 Broadway in Kingston, by phone at (845) 339-6088 or (800) 7453000, or online at www.bardavon.org or www.ticketmaster.com. – John Burdick

Revived Conehead Buddha plays Bearsville this Friday A stalwart of the New York jam and ska scene of the ‘90s, Conehead Buddha has reassembled its core lineup and is back at it with renewed vigor. That core includes frontman and founder Chris Fisher as well as the brother-and-sister duo of Terry and Shannon Lynch, who spent much of Conehead Buddha’s hiatus performing as Lynch, a freewheeling, rap-flavored jam/funk band that featured members of such New York jam luminaries as Schleigho and moe. Conehead Buddha appears at the Bearsville Theater in Woodstock on Friday, November 22 at 9 p.m. Tickets cost $10 in advance and $15 on the day of the show. The Bearsville Theater is located at 291 Tinker Street in Woodstock. For more information, call (845) 679-4406 or visit www.bearsvilletheater.com.

Jeremy Baum Trio plays Rhinebeck’s Liberty Lounge this Saturday

lift my own personal blues moratorium on occasion, and one such occasion is when the principal instrument is organ, not guitar. Due in part to the proclivities of the instrument itself and in part to the kind of ear training more common among keyboardists than among six-stringers, organ blues tend to be a touch more harmonically expansive and adventurous than most standard-issue guitar blues with their well-worn patterns and lick library, and that touch is often all that is required to open my ears once again to the verities of the blues. Keyboardist Jeremy Baum has been a highly visible and in-demand regionaland-beyond sideman for a long time now, flexing his fine touch, great ears and multigenre fluencies in some pretty top-shelf blues, Latin and jazz settings. Like so many courted and coveted sidemen, Baum leads his own band as well, when he can, finding time about once a decade to record his own material with his sidemen of choice. 2003’s Lost River Jams was a funky, spacious set, foregrounding Baum’s tasteful Hammond and piano-playing. Owing more to the brainy, Monkish lines of a Larry Golding than to the non-stop blowing of Joey DeFrancesco, Baum keeps things fresh with jazz, Latin and gospel colors sprinkled throughout this fine trio-plus-friends blues session. Baum has reconvened a trio – this time with guitarist Chris Vitarello and drummer Chris Reddan – for the soon-to-be released CD The Eel. It is this trio that Baum brings to the Liberty Lounge in Rhinebeck on Saturday, November 23 at 9:30 p.m. The Eel isn’t out yet, but the band will no doubt be offering a sneak peak of what to expect.

Do-overs unlimited Time-travel rom/com About Time is really about living each day fully the first time around

W

ith Thanksgiving nearly upon us, it’s time to start thinking about sitting down with usually scattered family members for a ritual viewing of some favorite Yuletidethemed movie. Many opt for hoary classics like It’s a Wonderful Life or Miracle on 34th Street; younger audiences often prefer Tim Burton and Henry Selick’s macabre animated tale The Nightmare before Christmas. Some folks have a sentimental attachment to that paean to mid-20th-century suburban materialism, A Christmas Story. My holiday movie choice will be a revisit to director Richard Curtis’ episodic confection Love Actually, which follows the tangly romantic vicissitudes of a group of Brits over the course of a few weeks before, during and after Christmas. Despite its A-list cast, the film did not exactly meet with universal acclaim upon its 2003 release; in fact, it was savaged by some reviewers for being too dark and cynical and by others for being too sentimental. And yet it has found a special place in the hearts of many, and bears up well under repeated viewings. Director/screenwriter Curtis is also well-known for such successful feature films as Four Weddings and a Funeral, Notting Hill, Bridget Jones’s Diary and War Horse, plus his TV work on iconic comedies like Mr. Bean, The Vicar of Sibley, Not the Nine O’Clock News and Blackadder. In 2010 he stuck a first toe into the waters of Dr. Who, which may be what got him thinking about time travel. That’s ostensibly the subject of Curtis’ latest film, About Time. But, like the best movies in that genre, time travel here is more of a MacGuffin – an arbitrary plot

About Time is really about regrets, and about the emotional price to be paid for trying to avoid them. If humans had the option of going back for “do-overs” of moments that we bungled, according to this film, the most that we could hope for would be learning a little more quickly than via normal life experience that it’s best to live life fully one day at a time. The protagonist of About Time is Tim (Domhnall Gleeson), a sweet-but-awkward young man who keeps striking out with girls. When Tim turns 21, his father (Bill Nighy), a retired university literature professor, informs him that all the men in the family have the innate ability to travel backwards (but never forwards) in time. Dad explains that the gift can’t be used to change history in meaningful ways, but can be used to fine-tune one’s life.

father tells Tim that he personally used his ability mostly to read more books than would normally be possible in a lifetime. It becomes progressively clearer throughout the film that he also placed very high priority on spending more time with his family, which seems improbably harmonious despite the presence of a benignly daft uncle (Richard Cordery) and a daughter (Lydia Wilson) who keeps making selfdestructive life choices. Tim’s priority – the “mothership,” as he puts it – is to find a serious girlfriend. Beginning with a summerlong visit to the family’s Cornwall beachfront home by his sister Kit Kat’s knockout friend Charlotte (Margot Robbie), Tim tinkers with his courtship missteps, only to discover that he can’t artificially exercise control over other people’s feelings. Moving to London to take up a law practice, Tim moves in with his father’s old friend Harry, a misanthropic struggling playwright amusingly played by Tom Hollander. Eventually Tim meets cute (in a pitchdark restaurant) with the woman of his dreams: funny, affectionate, insecure Mary (Rachel McAdams, who has trodden these paths before in The Time-Traveler’s Wife). But he loses her phone number when he jaunts back to relive that same evening at a theatre where Harry’s latest play has just bombed because a key actor blanked out on his lines. Distraught over his missed chance, Tim resorts to all manner of time manipulation to get back into Mary’s good graces (not to mention her memories). And here’s where we encounter the dark side of Richard Curtis’ sense of humor, so familiar from Love Actually: Our essentially good-hearted young hero becomes, arguably, a stalker

Life beyond bars Gardiner B&B- owner brings her corrections background to Orange Is the New Black

S

he has a place in Gardiner, a bed-and-breakfast with sprawling grounds but a cozy feel. She’s got a classic GMC truck in her tidy garage and a Harley for good measure. She championed equal rights for female prison guards in New York State, wrestled with the system and won. She’s an advisor for a soon-to-be Emmy-nominated series. Her name is Bernetta Calderone, and she’s busy. To begin at the end, Calderone is an advisor for the hit Netflix program Orange Is the New Black. The show follows the story of an upper-middleclass woman and her 15-month stint in prison for a long-past misdeed (transporting a suitcase full of drug money for an international drug smuggler, her former lover). It’s kind of a big deal: The series, in which “Every sentence is a story,” is bound to be an award winner, and its cast has drawn considerable acclaim. Calderone lucked into the gig. “Jason Graham, who is an assistant director of Orange Is the New Black, had been coming to my B&B [Bernetta’s Place] for a long time. One time he said, ‘We’re looking for a technical advisor on the show.’” Interested in hiring Calderone as an advisor, Graham told her to call production manager David Price and send a résumé. Calderone hadn’t dealt with résumés in a while. “I said, ‘I’ve been retired since 2007 and I run a bed-andbreakfast. What résumé?’” After Calderone sent in her past work credentials, Price called Calderone and told her that she had the job. Calderone’s job is, primarily, to help ensure a sense of prison reality on the show. The Orange Is the New Black position isn’t the first job into which Calderone has stumbled. After she took the Civil Service test with the goal of becoming a state trooper, she found out that, due to state-wide budget issues, she couldn’t find a place on the force. There were, however open spots for would-be corrections officers, and she grabbed one. Calderone worked for 23 years at Downstate Correctional Facility, a maximumsecurity prison in Fishkill, and wrapped up her career at Wallkill, close to home, for a brief stint in 2008. She supervised outside contractors working in the prison, and had to take shop classes that would help her identify the tools they worked with on site. That interested her, and she took up woodworking as a pastime. A woman of boundless energy, Calderone loved working with her hands and decided to take odd jobs as a carpenter after work and to help maintain the grounds of another area bed-and-breakfast. She would eventually put her carpentry experience to use in assembling Bernetta’s Place, her Calderone Drive bed-and-breakfast opened in 2008. “This place used to be half the size,” she said. “I did most of the work here myself.” According to Calderone, being a corrections officer at a maximum-security state penitentiary was the best job that she could have asked for: really fun stuff. She found humor in many things at the prison, and tried her damnedest to break the ice with the prisoners. Many of them weren’t the most hardened criminals in the world, she said; just scared young men thrown into an environment that would be vicious and hostile from the day that they got there until the day that they left.

Calderone helps ensure a sense of prison reality on the show

beginning of his odyssey, which, in accordance with the time-travel rules explicated by his Dad, is bound to teach Tim a whole lot more about the importance of relationships – especially within families. If the chemistry between Gleeson and McAdams is persuasive, even better is that between Gleeson and the cheeky, irrepressible Nighy. About Time is at least as much a father/son bonding story as it is a rom/com, and the scenes between the two – whether contemporary or involving one stepping through the fabric of time for a quick consult with the other – are invariably a joy to watch. We expect no less from Nighy based on his sterling cinematic track record, which memorably includes the loopy, profane, burned-out former rock star Billy Mack in Love Actually. Gleeson, by contrast, is a bit of discovery. The son of veteran Irish character actor Brendan Gleeson, this is Domhnall’s first lead role in a major feature film; in

America he’s best-known for playing Bill Weasley in the last two Harry Potter films and for a fine reading of Levin in last year’s Anna Karenina. But About Time is likely to be remembered as his breakthrough part. With the sort of face that can go from geeky to adorable without reliance on makeup, he brings a naïve earnestness to the role that warms the heart and makes Tim’s sneaking and tweaking seem no worse than any young person’s fumbling attempts at making a good impression on a romantic prospect. Diehard science fiction geeks probably won’t like About Time; they’ll be too caught up in pointing out the temporallogic plot holes. But fans of earlier Richard Curtis vehicles probably will. It’s classic heartstring-tugging romantic comedy with a postmodern edge, and will send you home wanting to give those special loved ones an extra hug for the holidays. – Frances Marion Platt

Bernetta Calderone: innkeeper at Bernetta’s Place and technical advisor to Orange Is the New Black.

“I always tried to have a good time, tried to make the new guys laugh,” said Calderone. “Some of these guys are scared. I wasn’t there to beat them down; I was there to do the job and take some of the intensity off.” It wasn’t all good humor for Calderone. She filed suit against the New York prison system in 1999 for sexual discrimination. She was denied a prisoner transportation job at the Downstate facility. The job had 18 openings, but only two of them were open to females; Calderone filed for the third position, and in all other worlds she would have had the job in the bag, considering that of all applicants she was the most senior and had the most training. She was, however, denied the job. She won that sex discrimination suit. Calderone had worked as an instructor, teaching other officers about sexual harassment, inappropriate behavior and cultural diversity. When the state prison system told her that she simply could not fill certain positions because she was a female, she remembered something that had been hammered into her at the academy: “They told me that I was an officer first and a woman second. If you’re telling me now that I’m a woman first and an officer second, there are going to be some changes.” She then filed against the prison system for equal rights for male and female officers. By the time Calderone had left the business in 2007, she had spearheaded several important changes for female officers. Corrections life is behind Calderone now, but as she takes care of Bernetta’s Place and helps the crew on Orange Is the New Black she looks back on her career as an officer with true fondness. “For most of my career, I laughed,” she said. – Quinn O’Callaghan For information on Orange Is the New Black, go to http://movies.netflix.com.

Many of our clients enjoy mixing contemporary/Minimalist design with more rustic or antique pieces. Clients love our range and selection of accessories, because even the most common household item can function as a well-designed piece of “sculpture.” We also know that people value the experience of shopping almost as much as the items they purchase. The relationships we build with our clients are very important to us. They trust us and know that we want the best for them and their home.

Hundred Mile offers high-end home design in Rhinebeck showroom

I

f you’re looking to decorate and furnish your new Hudson Valley house or freshen up an existing residence, the blossoming of home design, housewares and furniture stores in the area means that you no longer have to travel far to get the job done. The latest entrant is Hundred Mile, a purveyor of top-name furniture brands that recently opened in Rhinebeck. Described by its owners, husband/wife team Josh Ingmire and Kristina Albaugh, as a “lifestyle showroom dedicated to creating a luxury lifestyle through good design,” the 1,500-square-foot space, located on the second floor at 6380 Mill Street – a historic building that houses Asher House Antiques on the first floor – displays furniture, fashion, lighting, design objects, fragrance, jewelry and art. Hundred Mile represents dozens of top-shelf brands, including Moooi, Fritz Hansen, Carl Hansen, Jack Craig, Kristalia, Bocci, FTF Design Studio, Design House Stockholm and Flos. Originally from Oklahoma – the couple met at the University of Oklahoma, where Josh earned a degree in Architecture and Kristina got a degree in Advertising and Journalism – Ingmire and Albaugh honed their design chops in Chicago, where Ingmire managed the Luminaire showroom and Albaugh worked in luxury

retail management, including Gucci. They later moved to New York City, where Ingmire most recently represented Paola Lenti and Albaugh worked for MaxMara on Madison Avenue. The relationships that they have established within the design community allow them to carry lines that would normally be reserved for major metropolitan areas. Two years ago the couple bought a weekend house in Rhinebeck and found themselves liking the area so much that they decided to start their own store as a way to live here full-time. Hundred Mile also was the answer to a dream to be able to work side-by-side in design. Here’s more from the couple about their upscale furniture and design emporium, based on their response to questions from Almanac Weekly’s Lynn Woods: What’s the latest trend in high-end furniture?

We were drawn to Rhinebeck because it just feels like home, and we’ve enjoyed tremendous support from the Rhinebeck community and surrounding areas. For our Grand Opening in October we joined forces with Spruce Design & Decor and bluecashew Kitchen Pharmacy in Rhinebeck for an evening celebrating good design. We also dedicated the entire space in the showroom to the work of local artist and jeweler Sheva Fruitman. We’ve met many talented local photographers and artists whom we plan to collaborate with for exhibitions and events. We are already active members of the Rhinebeck Chamber of Commerce and participate in events supporting local organizations such as the Wilderstein Historic Site, the Storm King Art Center and the Rhinebeck Sinterklaas Celebration. We look forward to being even more active in local events in the years to come. What makes Hundred Mile different from other stores in the area? By offering items that are unique to the area, we are strengthening the “design hub” that has formed. We work closely with other design/home décor businesses in the area and collaborate on projects. We’re able to do this because we offer completely different lines, chosen based on the quality of the product and its exclusivity. Our Minimalist aesthetic is very different, but also compatible. Who is your target audience? We have enjoyed a variety of clients ranging from local residents, people from all over the Hudson Valley, designers (both locally and from New York City) and weekend visitors from the City and surrounding areas. Local support is extremely important. We’ve even had groups of people drive in from Connecticut to meet us after hearing about Hundred Mile. We have lots of repeat clients who like to come in and just hang out and talk. Our showroom feels like a home, so people feel very comfortable to sit and relax. We greet everyone with an offer of espresso or water, just as we would at home. Hundred Mile, 6380 Mill Street, Rhinebeck; (845) 516-4522, www.100mileny. com. Hundred Mile is open Thursdays through Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays through Wednesdays are reserved for appointments and site visits.

Inside Sew Woodstock.

Natalie Chanin (above) will teach a workshop on how to embellish knit fabric “the Alabama Chanin way” this Saturday, November 23 at 2 p.m. at Sew Woodstock.

The fabric of community Sew Woodstock offers members sewing machines plus room to spread out

A

ny sewing enthusiast will vouch for the fact that the only thing that gets in the way of a good sewing session is having the space to do it. Unlike knitting, which requires little more than “two sticks and a string,” as the book of the same name reminds us, sewing calls for a table sturdy enough to withstand the machine’s vibrations and sizable enough to support large projects; room to spread out all that fabric and cut into it; and pressing equipment nearby to press each seam after sewing it before connecting any of the sections together (an important step if you want good results). But how many people have the luxury of an area in their home that they can dedicate to sewing without having to dismantle everything every time someone else wants to use the table? And if one doesn’t have that dedicated area, it’s kind of a pain to get the machine set up each time one feels like sewing – enough of a production that it can be a deterrent to actually getting down to it. Enter Sally Ross, of the new sewing space Sew Woodstock. Ross purchased seven Singer machines and gave them a home – along with a few spare machines – inviting any and all sewers to come and use the space as if it were their own sewing studio. Now anyone with a yen to sew can pop in and work on a project, and do it surrounded by other sewers in camaraderie. Reflective of the return to handcrafting and self-sufficiency that’s in the air, Sew Woodstock is meant to provide “a comfortable and well-equipped space for stitchers [of all abilities] to get together to sew, improve their skills, share ideas and develop warm friendships with likeminded stitchers.” For unlimited access entitling them to drop in anytime during open hours, sewers pay $40 a month to join the co-op. Ross says that there hasn’t yet been an occasion when machines weren’t available for use. Sewers can always bring their own machine, too. If a sewer doesn’t choose to join the coop, he or she can still come to Sew Woodstock to take ongoing sewing classes or one-day workshops, like the one this Saturday, November 23 at 2 p.m. on learning how to embellish knit fabric “the Alabama

Chanin way.” (And if that doesn’t ring a bell, look it up online: Natalie Chanin is a former New York City-based stylist and costume designer who moved back to her native Alabama and opened a unique fashion company where she offers a line of fabulous clothing with lots of beautiful hand-stitching as well as do-it-yourself instruction on how to recreate the fashions. It’s a unique business concept getting rave reviews from the sustainability communities.) The $35 class fee includes all materials. Participants will leave with a length of embellished fabric that they can then turn into a tote bag or anything else that they desire. Ross says that there will also be optional kits available to purchase after the class to take home and make easy Alabama Chanin-style fingerless gloves of knit fabric. Sew Woodstock appreciates knitters and crocheters, too. They’re offering a Learn to Crochet class on Sunday, November 24 at 2 p.m., where participants will make a cute crocheted hat. The $35 fee includes all materials. Sew Woodstock has ongoing sewing machine classes on Wednesdays from 2 to 4 p.m. called “Make Peace with Your Sewing Machine,” taught by Molly Farley, lead instructor at the site and Ross’s business partner. The fee is $30 per session. Ross says that Farley also takes alterations, or can teach people how to alter clothes themselves (a very useful skill to have). Sew Woodstock has a retail area, with artisanal and organic fabrics for purchase and all the sewing supplies – or “notions,” as they’re called – that a sewer might need, and there’s even a hand-stitching lounge for people who like to sit on the couch and drink tea or coffee and talk to each other

Ross worked as a professional photographer for most of her adult life, known locally as one half of the duo Photosensualis with Michael Williams. “We met because we both love the same kind of photography, and still do today, 14 years later,” she says. Photosensualis is known for its tastefully sensual images of real women, “getting back to a natural beauty for women,” says Ross. But the interest in sewing was always there in the background. Like many other stitchers, Ross learned the skill at a young age from the women in her family – her Mom and grandmother, in her case. She

continued to sew through her teenage years, but it took a back seat when the time came to make a living and she began working as a photographer. Three years ago, Ross says, she began holding weekly “Stitchy Days” every Thursday for some women friends, where they’d get together to sew and chat. About a year ago, it occurred to her that this could be a business, and now it’s the photography that’s taking the back seat. Ross brought the concept of creating an open studio space for sewers into the former Loominus building in Bearsville, “and now every day is ‘Stitchy Day,’” she says. – Sharyn Flanagan Sew Woodstock is located at 3257 Route 212 in Bearsville, open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, call (845) 684-5564 or go to http://sewwoodstock.com/ or Sew Woodstock on Facebook.

T

he fovea is a part of our eye: a tiny area located in the center of the retina that’s responsible for our sharpest vision. How fitting, then, that Fovea Exhibitions on Main Street in Beacon is a small gallery that shows photographs depicting subject matter that can be difficult to look at, but is important to see, and to see clearly. “Most of the time, these are not pretty pictures to look at,” says Stephanie Heimann, co-founder of the nonprofit, volunteer-run exhibition space. “We present topic-oriented exhibitions by individuals or group shows that focus on a news or a social issue.” Like Fovea’s co-director, Sabine Meyer, Heimann is a photo editor by profession. “We bring to the walls interesting projects that we see in our professional lives that we like,” she says, “and that we think people haven’t been given enough opportunity to see.” Fovea Exhibitions doesn’t function as a commercial gallery. “We could sell the pictures, but that’s not in any way driving what we’re showing, because if it was, we wouldn’t be able to show these kinds of pictures,” says Heimann. “Sometimes there’s some overlap of something that somebody might want to hang on their wall, but usually not.” The photographers are all “world-class,” according to Heimann, but because they know that Fovea is a “labor of love,” they donate their work to the gallery. When Fovea was founded in May of 2007, the publications that traditionally showed photojournalism were starting to dwindle in number. “The inspiration to create Fovea was really based in an attempt to allow the public to see more of this genre of photography. It’s important that people see these images: It’s important information, but there’s less and less of a forum for it.” Past exhibits have examined topics such as food sustainability, the plight of moun-

tain gorillas and America’s relationship with firearms. Once a topic is chosen for an exhibition, it’s augmented by education in the form of public lectures, to prompt further dialogue on the subject, or with visits to elementary, middle and high schools to reach the students there. Fovea’s website hosts virtual exhibits from past shows and a “What You Can Do” tab that allows viewers to explore what they can do with the feelings stirred up by viewing controversial or difficult images. The current exhibit, “The Beacon Portrait Project: A Visual Map of Community,” features photographs by Beacon resident Meredith Heuer. The nationally known editorial photographer documented the people who live in Beacon using a unique process: Every time she took a photograph of somebody – whether they were a stockbroker or artist, prison guard or dog-walker – she would ask that person to recommend the person she should photograph next. “In that way, the trail led naturally down a path of community,” says Heimann, and her portraits create a catalogue of “Beacon’s unique moment in history.” “The Beacon Portrait Project” displays 22 of the more than 100 photographs (shot with film) that Heuer has produced. The show will remain on view through Sunday, January 5. Fovea will host a special event on Saturday, November 23 for Detroit-based 71-year-old Patricia Lay-Dorsey, whose photography documents her multiple sclerosis and the challenges of living life in a wheelchair paralyzed from the waist down. Diagnosed in 1988, she began taking self-portraits in 2008, with the intention of showing the day-to-day life of a person with a disability. Lay-Dorsey, whom Heimann calls “a major force of nature, with the most spirit of anybody you’ve ever met,” was featured earlier in the year at Fovea in an exhibit, “Falling into Place,” and has now compiled her photographs in a book of the same name. Returning to Beacon this Saturday, she will collaborate with her friend Illich Mujica, a deejay from Brooklyn whom Lay-Dorsey knows from her visits to the annual electronic music festival in Detroit, and the book launch will morph into a dance party led by Lay-Dorsey’s alter ego, Grandma Techno. The event will feature a book-signing and

short artist talk at 7 p.m., followed by a live video performance featuring Lay-Dorsey’s photographs and musical response by Deejay Mujica at 8:30 p.m. and the dance party at 9 p.m. Lay-Dorsey’s book, Falling into Place, will be available for purchase at the event at a special price of $30. The event is free and all are welcome. Admission to Fovea Exhibitions is always free, but the $5 suggested donation does go a long way to help pay the bills, says Heimann. Although nobody gets a salary there, she says, the donations help to pay the operating expenses of running the space. Winter gallery hours are Saturday and Sunday from 12 noon to 6 p.m. It’s open on Fridays, too, during the summer. – Sharyn Flanagan Fovea Exhibitions, 143 Main Street, Beacon; (845) 232-3443, www.foveaexhibitions.org.

Documentary on photographer Saul Leiter in Woodstock “I aspire to be unimportant.” So says shy octogenarian photographer Saul Leiter, who has attained international fame for his pioneering work in color photography. That’s just one of many nuggets of wisdom shared by this son of a Talmudic scholar in Tomas Leach’s documentary film In No Great Hurry: 13 Lessons in Life with Saul Leiter, which will be shown this Sunday, November 24 at Upstate Films in Woodstock, with the filmmaker in attendance. Never driven by the lure of success, Leiter preferred to drink coffee and photograph in his own way, amassing an archive of beautiful work that is now piled high in his New York apartment. Leach follows Leiter as he walks around his neighborhood that he has been photographing for 55 years, and also films him at home in his cluttered apartment, surrounded by boxes of his work. As he deals with the triple burden of clearing these rooms full of memories, becoming world-famous in his 80s and fending off the pesky filmmaker, the veteran photographer shares such observations as “The important thing in life is not what you get, but what you throw out.” Photography, explains this wise man who

Silver-polishing event in Stone Ridge this Saturday The Master of Fine Arts program in Metal and Jewelry at SUNY-New Paltz is among the largest graduate programs in that field in the country. Students learn the technical, aesthetic and conceptual aspects of contemporary jewelry and metalsmithing in a state-of-the-art facility. And just in time for holiday entertaining, the graduate program is holding a unique event called “Buff,” a daylong silver service and jewelry-polishing event on Saturday, November 23 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Marbletown Community Center on Main Street in Stone Ridge. All are welcome to bring old or tarnished silver objects or jewelry to be cleaned and polished by a group of skilled artisans for a nominal fee. During the polishing event, there will be a jewelry and metalwork sale, an international bake sale and an exhibition of student work on display at the Center.

artist Stacie Flint. The exhibit will remain on view through January. “My art is a personal reflection of my daily life expressed through vibrant color, pattern and a sense of freedom,” says the artist. “I have been inspired to create works that highlight quirky imperfection as well as harmony, my current focus. The show will include a variety of works of invention and reference, such as my family portraits.” Gallery hours are from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily. The Morse Historic Site, Museum and Nature Preserve are located at 2683 South Road (Route 9) in Poughkeepsie. For more information, call (845) 4544500 or visit www.lgny.org.

very year, people flock from all over to Castroville, California for its big Artichoke Festival. Closer to home, Saugerties holds its annual garlic tribute, while Margaretville celebrates the cauliflower; in Orange County, the town of Monroe basks in the heady aroma of Liederkranz cheese. If you want to put your town on the foodie-tourism map nowadays, it seems, you have to adopt a particular foodstuff and make it your own. Funky and feisty little Rosendale, which prides itself in the moniker of “the Festival Town,” got ahead of that curve 16 years ago, when it began hosting its annual International Pickle Festival.

Rosendale, nor of vast fields of gourmet cucumbers under cultivation. But let’s face it: A Cement Festival wasn’t likely to entice throngs of visitors from all over the tri-state metropolitan area. The happy accident that spawned the picklefest was a social gathering at the home of Bill and Cathy Brooks in 1998. For decades, the Brookses ran a garden supply center on Rosendale’s Main Street, where they also cut hair. It was a sort of downtown social nerve center; everybody in town knew the couple. But among their close friends was a Japanese woman named Eri Yamaguchi, who missed the delectably crunchy, sometimes-spicy pickled vegetables known in her homeland as oshinko. On a whim, the Brookses decided to humor their homesick friend with a pickle party. Dozens were invited, but hundreds turned up. The rest, as they say, is history (making it utter poetic justice that Bill Brooks has just been appointed Rosendale’s new town historian, replacing the late cementindustry expert Ann LeFevre Gilchrist). The Brookses had clearly put their finger on an unmet community need, and ever since, the Rosendale International Pickle Festival has become a late-fall staple of the Festival Town’s seasonal cycle of celebrations. Annual attendance is now estimated

as upwards of 6,000 lovers of all things puckery; and this Sunday, November 24, once again they will converge on the Rosendale Recreation Center on Route 32. The 16th annual Pickle Festival will include more than 100 vendors with their pickles and other non-pickle wares, plus the much-anticipated pickle-eating, pickle-juice-drinking and pickle-tossing contests. If you’ve never tried a hot deepfried pickle on a stick, this is definitely the place to get one. But we’re not just talking about cukes here. Pickled foods in astounding variety feature in cuisines from around the world, from sweet-and-sour beets, dilly beans and hot peppers to whole eggs. Find your favorite sour side dish here while you’re listening to live performances of world music, including a peck of (possibly pickled) Celtic pipers, Senegalese drummers and of course, traditional German music on the accordion. True to the Festival’s origins, there are always activities highlighting aspects of Japanese culture, including a Tea Ceremony and a kimono fashion show. This year’s schedule includes a demonstration of ikebana, the art of Japanese-style floral arranging. Besides providing a unique way of having fun as a community and making Rosendale a culinary destination, the mission of the Festival is to raise money for various local groups in need. Recent donations included $1,200 to help complete the restoration of the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail trestle and $3,000 towards the renovation of the façade of the Rosendale Theatre. “All the money raised at the Festival goes

The first recorded Long Path throughhike using any of the officially recognized routes was accomplished in May of 1998 by Mary Ann Nissley of Chalfont, Pennsylvania. It took her 25 days. But in the ensuing years, other hikers have chipped away at Nissley’s time, eventually bringing it down to 12 days. And just three months ago, a record-breaking pace was set by a hardy trail runner from New York City

named Ken Posner: On September 3, 2013, he completed the Long Path, including the longer Schunemunk-to-Shawangunks detour, in a staggering nine days, three hours and six minutes. Posner’s run was mostly self-supported; he placed food caches at six points along the route. Since the Long Path lacks the Appalachian Trail’s elaborate network of lean-tos, with no legal camping facilities at all for long stretches, he slept on a mat on the ground at places along the trailside. Underfed and short on sleep, he coped with injuries, bad weather and unfriendly wildlife. But it wasn’t just the distinction of breaking a record that motivated Posner. He was doing it for a cause: to raise funds for the New York Road Runners’ programs for youth, like Running Start, Mighty Milers and Young Runners. “It’s so important for kids to be active,” he said, “and if they don’t even have gym classes, that’s a shame, because they run the risk of the health problems that come with lack of exercise and bad nutrition.” Posner’s grueling Long Path run reportedly raised nearly $10,000, which would make these running programs accessible for free to an estimated 300 more urban kids. Want to learn more about this awesome feat, and about the wonders of the Long Path itself? You can hear about them from the horse’s mouth this Saturday, November 23 at Rock and Snow, the Mecca for rock climbers, cross-country skiers and trail runners in New Paltz.

Luckily for us in the Northeast, there’s an alternative that’s respectably challenging but doesn’t require six or more months out of your life to complete: the Long Path, which in its present state runs from the New Jersey side of the George Washington Bridge to John Boyd Thatcher State Park in Altamont, near Albany. Marked by distinctive aqua-colored blazes, the Long Path is an ever-evolving work-in-progress – now officially clocked at 347.4 miles in length, but somewhat longer if you opt for any of several detours added in recent years to avoid dreary stretches of walking on road shoulders in developed areas in between state parks.

The longest stretch of exurban trekking in the Long Path, historically, ran through the commuter bedroom communities of western Orange County. But in recent decades, a new connector called the Shawangunk Ridge Trail has been the route of choice for serious through-hikers, even though it adds about 22 miles to the total length of the Long Path. Another “reroute” added just last year runs from the Schunemunk Ridge along the Orange Heritage Trail to the Shawangunk Ridge Trail in Greenville. Aficionados of the Gunks may already be familiar with some of the Long Path’s choicer stretches, such as the overlook of spectacular Verkeerderkill Falls near Sam’s Point, or the clifftop views and pine barrens of the not-overused Blueberry Run trail in Minnewaska State Park.

Celestial gratitude As Huxley said: “Gratitude is heaven itself �

I

have a prized handwritten, original letter from Aldous Huxley, in which he mentions that “Gratitude is heaven itself.� There’s truth there, and the topic is of course appropriate now, since Thanksgiving is coming. Most of us have a lot to be thankful for. Every five years or so I try to tie this theme into the larger universe, so I’m due. It would be nice (novel, anyway) to hold a star party on Thanksgiving, where astronomers rattle off their own special reasons to be grateful. I’ll go first. For starters, I am thankful that, at star parCOMET ISON UPDATE 11/16: ties, nobody plays music As my astronomy group here in South America has through loudspeakers.

I’m not so sure that Neptune would be improved by a hip-hop soundtrack. In the 16th and 17th centuries, many tried matching planets with various sequencing schemes such as numerology, geometric shapes or musical notes. It was part of our never-ending effort to link the cosmos with arbitrary human ideas. Rigidly structured music doesn’t really fit the infinitude of space. Electronic or meditation music does better, because it’s more free-flowing. But hey, outer space is silent. What’s good enough for Orion is good enough for me. Of course, an observing session is not silent. There are the muttering and periodic yelps that accompany dropped eyepieces and stubbed toes. Astronomy seems specifically designed for injury, what with the dark environment and equipment lying around. And speaking of darkness, we can be thankful that the public is slowly gaining awareness of light pollution. No one likes glaring lights, and some towns like Woodstock have

ordinances forbidding excessive sideways illumination spilling across property lines. Nonetheless, you’ll occasionally see an oblivious person install a harsh wraparound “yard light� instead of a more eco-friendly motion-controlled spot. By keeping his yard light on all night – especially if you’re trying to observe a faint celestial wonder like the Milky Way – your neighbor deserves to serve an indefinite term at a special brightly lit prison. Dealing with such people gives backyard astronomers a high tolerance for lesser crimes and frailties. No longer will you roll your eyes the next time someone says, “You’re an astronomer? What’s your sign?� No longer do you get perturbed when taxed to build spacecraft designed to explode upon reaching orbit. Anyway, many celestial phenomena do indeed merit gratitude: That the Moon and Sun both appear the same size (true of no other planet), which allows total eclipses to occur in our lifetimes. Eventually, the spiralingaway Moon, departing at the rate of 1.5 inches a year, will no longer appear large enough to cover up the Sun. That astronauts do not make political speeches every time they reach orbit. That the Moon has a nice stable orbit, rather than being like the Martian satellite Phobos: the lowest-orbiting moon in the known universe. Opposite to our Moon, Phobos is falling inward, and may crash onto Mars in only about ten million years. If colonists live there then, the irony of Phobos’ meaning (“fear�) is unlikely to go unnoticed. That Earth doesn’t orbit a star like Betelgeuse – not just because that name means “sheep’s armpit,� but also because it’s likely to explode before too long, which would make everyone neurotic and insecure, unlike the well-adjusted citizens of Earth. – Bob Berman Want to know more?

KIDS’ ALMANAC

Nov. 21-28 HOLIDAYS

On the Hebrew calendar, 25 Kislev falls on November 27 this year. That means that Hanukkah arrives on the early side, putting the Festival of Lights alongside the Thanksgiving holiday. I wondered about the role of spiritual community to support a family’s faith journey during the holidays and beyond. Rabbi Jonathan Kligler of the Woodstock Jewish Congregation explains, “Spiritual community gives structure and support to individuals and families. For those who have chosen the Jewish path, for example, just knowing that a whole web of people that you know are celebrating at the same time and in the same way gives strength to carve out the time for one’s own spiritual practice. This is especially crucial in our world that runs 24/7, with no breaks for sacred time. All the more so for Jews, with the commercial Christmas onslaught in full gear since Halloween: Having a community that shares your practice really helps when you are a minority culture. In addition to the yearly cycle of Jewish holidays, the weekly Sabbath is really the anchor of Jewish spiritual life. For those who make the rhythm of Sabbath integral to their lives, a Jewish spiritual community provides a weekly opportunity for respite and renewal in sacred community.”

Ruth Quinn in New Paltz ties in an annual practice of giving: “We have a unique tradition in our family. For each candle we light we do a mitzvah (a good deed). Before Hanukkah season starts, we consider each candle to represent something: Self, Family, Friend, Neighbor, Community, Nature, Environment, World. We brainstorm what we are going to do for each one. So, for instance, we typically bake cookies for our neighbors, and we attach a note to it that says that we are going to come back and collect food for Family on New Paltz. We usually do something for birds for our nature project, but this year, the kids want to focus on mammals.” Rabbi Kligler shares his personal tradition: “Hanukkah is primarily observed in the home. At our house, we have a custom of not only adding a candle each night, but an additional menorah. That way, by the eighth night we have eight menorahs blazing. We go through a lot of candles, but it is the Festival of Lights, after all.”

Public menorah lightings Wednesday, November 27, 4 p.m. on the Walkway over the Hudson at the center bump-out. Monday, December 2, 6 p.m., on the front lawn of the Thorne Building on Franklin Avenue in Millbrook. Lighting every day at 3:30 p.m. and on Saturday at 6 p.m. at the Poughkeepsie Civic Center.

est menorah in the Mid-Hudson Valley. Yes We “Can” menorah lightings created from donated canned goods: Sunday, December 1, 3 to 5 p.m. at the Poughkeepsie Galleria on Route 9 and Wednesday, December 4, 5:30 to 7 p.m. in the Food Court at the Hudson Valley Mall on Route 9W in Kingston. The Yes We “Can” events include the Fabulous Bubble Trouble show; Hanukkah crafts and face-painting; meet Judah the Maccabee; decorate your own donut; and hot latkes and drinks. For more information about the public lightings, call (845) 463-5801 or visit www.chabadmidhudsonvalley.com.

Woodstock Jewish Congregation hosts Hanukkah Extravaganza In terms of music, Rabbi Kligler mentioned this interesting bit: “A few years ago the Klezmatics discovered Hanukkah lyrics that Woody Guthrie had composed when his children were young, and set them to music. One of those songs has become a standard here.” Perhaps you will hear that song at the Hanukkah Extravaganza this Sunday, November 24 from 1 to 4 p.m. Highlights include storytelling, children’s craft projects, dreidel games, gelt, sing-along with Rabbi Kligler and, of course, latkes! The Woodstock Jewish Congregation Hanukkah Sale/ Book Fair will also be open during the Extravaganza. Admission is free, with a nominal fee for

craft projects, but attendees are encouraged to bring a plate of latkes and another healthy potluck dish to share. The Woodstock Jewish Congregation is located at 1682 Glasco Turnpike in Woodstock. For more information, call (845) 679-2218 or visit www.wjcshul.org.

Ecumenical group sing at Temple Beth Elohim Cantorial soloist Robin Sills shares more on music: “Because I am in charge of the music program at Temple Beth Elohim in Brewster, I am always looking out for new and exciting ways to get the children and families involved through music. In our community we are very much involved with the other houses of worship in our area. Once a year the whole community of faith joins together in an ecumenical service to celebrate Thanksgiving. Through song and prayer we form a bond that has become an annual tradition. For Hanukkah, the children of our temple gather together to sing our favorite songs, which include ‘Hanukkah Oh Hanukkah,’ the ‘Dreydle Song,’ ‘How Many Candles?’ and the ‘Latke Song.’ “Each of our children brings an ageappropriate toy or useful gift to give to a child who is less fortunate. The most exciting moment comes when all the gifts are piled up and the kids can see how their generosity will benefit so many other children. That is what Hanukkah means to us at Temple Beth Elohim. We call these acts of kindness Tikun Olam (the healing of the world). This is the message we have embraced and will continue to practice in

Rabbi Hanoch and rebbetzin Tzivie Hecht of the Rhinebeck Jewish Center have some terrific Hanukkah events coming up. On Sunday, November 24 from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., it’s Dreidel House, “a day of Hanukkah fun for the whole family!” Highlights include meeting Judah Maccabee, make-your-own donuts, a candlemaking workshop, a Hanukkah store, lots of new Hanukkah crafts and an olive oil workshop. Dreidel House takes place at the Starr Library, located at 68 West Market Street in Rhinebeck. The cost is $3 to $5 for crafts; the workshop is free. On Monday, December 2, Hecht’s Tiny Tots presents My Hanukkah Five Senses: “Take part in the fun and new exciting program for young children from 0 to 4 years. We will explore the wonders of this great holiday through all of our five senses.” A $5 donation per family is suggested, and reservations are required. The Contemporary Jewish Women’s Group hosts Miracle of the Oil, which takes place on Sunday, December 1 at 11 a.m.: “In honor of the miraculous oil of Hanukkah, stir up your own exotic blend of oil and fresh herbs for a fragrant display, cosmetic use or culinary delight. Top off with a Luscious Latke Bar.” All women are welcome to join the Contemporary Jewish Women’s Group regardless of background or affiliation. To register for any of these programs or for more information, call (845) 876-7666 or visit www.rhinebeckjewishcenter.com.

Art & latkes in Lake Katrine Debra Lundgren of Lomontville says, “Our congregation, Adat Chaim Messianic Synagogue, has an annual art show and celebration complete with latkes (sometimes even curry ones) on the Saturday during Hanukkah.” The art show takes place on Saturday, November 30 at 10 a.m., with a Shabbat service at 11 a.m., followed by latke Oneg. The Adat Chaim Messianic Synagogue is located at 71 Old Kings Highway in Lake Katrine. For more information, call (845) 340-4344 or visit http://adatchaim.net. In closing, I return you to Rabbi Kligler: “I would humbly suggest that folks make the effort simply to observe the holiday all eight nights. It is traditional to not work while the candles are burning, but simply to hang out together in the candlelight. This is an opportunity to spend 45 minutes with friends or family every night doing something pleasant together. That to me is a successful Hanukkah observance.”

Family traditions for Thanksgiving What are your family’s Thanksgiving traditions? Here are some ideas from Hudson Valley families. Sarah Coppola in Port Ewen: “Last year we started the tradition of making a Thanksgiving tree – basically twigs in a

November 21, 2013 vase with little decorative papers hung all around with things we were thankful for written on them. Everyone helped decide what they would say. Some of my 2-yearold’s were interesting.” Nancy Chusid in Marbletown: “Apples to Apples.” Chris Ruger in New Paltz: “My daughter and I start Thanksgiving by volunteering at the Turkey Trot.” Debra Lundgren in Lomontville: “Our kids make their own Thanksgiving Day Parade that runs down our main hallway and into the living room. They started with hand-pulled preschool toy wagons with stuffed animals and moved up to Lego robotic creations that propelled themselves. Even though they are older now (college and high school), they will still rig up something for this year, no doubt.” Mark and Donna Eis in Walden suggest going for a family hike the day after Thanksgiving. Donna says, “It’s the opposite of shopping, and helps you work up an appetite for leftovers!” Beth Sirof in New Paltz: “I volunteer with my boys at the Turkey Trot! Then run it.” Violet Batycki in Poughkeepsie: “Mid-Hudson Vegetarian Society Vegan Thanksgiving Dinner at the Reformed Church in Rhinebeck.” Kristi Ashley in Hopewell Junction: “On Thanksgiving itself, the kids help make a big meal, and we watch football and play games. During our dinner we all talk about what we are thankful for this year. The day after Thanksgiving we spend the day decorating the house for the holidays. The kids love deciding where all the decorations go and pulling out their holiday collections. My daughter has a collection of ornaments, one for every year she’s been alive; my oldest son has a nutcracker collection; and my younger son has a snow globe collection. We take pictures for our holiday cards. And we play games all weekend long, peppered with holiday movies.”

Margie Watters in LaGrange: “If there are children, we put out paper placemats for them (cloth for adults) with fall and Thanksgiving stickers and crayons for them to decorate while they’re waiting. Also, while food is cooking, children can make napkin rings out of strips of colored paper and stickers held together with tape. They can also make place cards with names of those sharing dinner; yel-

low index cards folded like tents work well. Often, instead of a “grace” before the meal, we’ve gone around the table and each person tells something that they are especially thankful for this year.” John Lauffer in Red Hook: “A couple weeks before Thanksgiving we take a box and tape it shut with a slot on top. Then we ask our extended family to e-mail things they are thankful for.

We too write out things and add to the box. Then we open it on Thanksgiving and read them all out loud. We transcribe them all and send to all those who contributed.” Susan Miller in Plattekill: “We always have our local family over. Last year Nina requested that everyone dress up as farmers. With our kids, once is enough to make a tradition, so this year we’ll be in costume again – this year, fall creatures or folk.” Nicole Blatter: “When the kids were little babies, we would give them their Thanksgiving bath in the turkey pan. I know it’s silly, but it makes for a great picture.” Julie Peterson in Woodstock: “We make a Thankful Tree. We paint a big tree and glue leaves to the tree. Each leaf has something we are thankful for on it. So nice to watch it change every year.” Jamie Smith in Port Ewen: “We do the normal routine like every other family, but my two little humans and I stay home and share the night with just us. I know some families have big family dinners, but I am most thankful for my little ones, so my 6-year-old, my 2-year-old and I have a huge turkey dinner, just us three! Also, we pick our favorite Thanksgiving food and donate to the food pantry. I don’t make enough money to live sometimes, but the holidays are a time I like to show my kids even the little things can help. Just today, my daughter made ‘I am thankful for’ cards and wrote a family member on each, then she drew a picture of her and that family member or friend on that card, then she signed her name and she is planning on giving them out on Thanksgiving. Totally cute craft, and all you need are markers and construction paper.” Denise Summerford in Wallkill: “We have a Thanksgiving tablecloth that everyone signs and draws on each year. We have a lot of extended family and different people that have joined

us over the years, and it is a nice way to keep track of who we have shared the holiday with.” Sarah Trapani in Highland: “On one side of my family there are 20 grandchildren! Most of us are grown now and have our own families, but we still miss getting together for the holidays like we did as children, so six years ago we started ‘Cousins’ Thanksgiving.’ We get together a couple of weeks before the real holiday, and it has become a family favorite tradition.” Eileen Gumbel in Saugerties: “It was always a rule growing up that there was no Christmas music until we saw Santa on TV at the end of the parade. So every year I have Bruce Springsteen’s ‘Santa Claus is Coming to Town’ set and ready to go and hit ‘Play’ as soon as we see him.” LeeAnne Kouhout in Cottekill: “One of our family traditions is preparing for a big day of shopping on Friday!” Danielle Sidarous in Saugerties: “We start our day with ‘Alice’s Restaurant’ by Arlo Guthrie, just like my father always did when I was a kid. We also do a Thankful Tree or turkey each year. I love Thanksgiving!” Kerry Pilott: “I am looking to start a new tradition with my kids this year. I will be taking my sons down to New York City the night before Thanksgiving to see the inflation of the parade balloons. They do it in Columbus Circle from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m., and you can

just come and go as you please and see them inflate. I hope the boys love it.”

PERFORMANCES Charlotte’s Web onstage at Newburgh Free Academy This weekend, the Newburgh Free Academy (NFA) presents Charlotte’s Web. Director Terry Sandler says, “I chose this play for two reasons: the first being that it’s a great play to bring the community out; and second, it fits directly in with the curriculum and will bring back the joy of learning, experiencing and living through the theatre arts – something that the Common Core has sadly taken away from us. So we’re thrilled to be sharing the story by bringing it to life. For some children, this will be their first theatre experience, and we’re honored to play that role.” Charlotte’s Web takes place on Thursday and Friday, November 21 and 22 at 7 p.m. and on Saturday, November 23 at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Tickets cost $8 for general admission, students and kids get in for $5 and children under 5 for free. Tickets will be sold at the door of the NFA Black Box Theatre, located at 201 Fullerton Avenue in Newburgh. For more information, visit www.newburghschools.org.

Hypnotist Lucas Handwerker at the Kleinert in Woodstock Lucas Handwerker wowed us last year in his film The Mentalist at the Woodstock Film Festival (see Kids’ Almanac, www.hudsonvalleyalmanacweekly.com/2012/10/11/kids-almanac-october-11-18). Handwerker debuts a new, much darker performance this Saturday, November 23 at 7:30 p.m. at the Kleinert/James Center for the Arts. Handwerker explains, “The new show is much darker than previous and touches on the nature of belief, life after death and tribal spiritualism.” I asked what other new projects he is involved with: “As far as what I am working on now, I am starting to give hypnosis sessions one-on-one. And I’m beginning to give hypnosis presentations, essentially demonstrating the more therapeutic uses of hypnosis.” There is a dress code for this weekend’s performance: formal or semi-formal attire is encouraged; no jeans or tee-shirts, sneakers or baseball hats. Tickets are available at the door for $20, cash or check. The Kleinert/James Center for the Arts is located at 36 Tinker Street in Woodstock.

Paul Green Rock Academy kids perform at the Falcon in Marlboro Olivia Casa, age 14, says, “The Rock Academy has broadened my music experience and my love for music. It has also made me understand the importance of a good work ethic.” Her brother, Nicholas Casa, age 11, adds, “The Rock Academy has helped me with my grades and has given me something to look forward to after school.” Olivia and Nick are students of the Paul Green Rock Academy, and if you aren’t already familiar with this incredible school, I’m hoping that my conversation with creator and founder Paul Green will entice you to learn


more and check out the Show Band’s gig at the Falcon in Marlboro this weekend. How do you sell rock music as a viable alternative to classical or jazz that’s offered in most schools? The kids want it, but what kinds of hurdles do you face in convincing parents to commit their kids to your school? Perhaps counterintuitively, it is the parents that are the easier sell with our curriculum. After all, the classic rock that is our curriculum is the very music of our students’ parents’ generation. And I believe we have come to a point in the music’s history where it is seen as a true and important artform. Jazz made a similar transition from “popular artform” to “part of our cultural heritage” in the 1960s, as evidenced by the establishment of Berklee and other jazz programs in colleges and big schools. If we were teaching “modern popular music” – e.g., Lady Gaga or Miley Cyrus – we would perhaps attract more younger students, but not have nearly the almostunanimous support that we have from our parents at the school with our curriculum of the Beatles and Led Zeppelin. How would you describe the youth who attend your school? Though we draw from a wide range of kids, our exemplary student is generally one who hasn’t really found anywhere they belong, from whom their natural creativity and desire to express themselves aren’t able to take root in standard school systems. I like to say that we turn peer pressure upside down here…where in most schools the kids that don’t do or say much tend to be the cool kids, at Rock Academy the kids who really work hard, express themselves and try new things are the leaders and the one’s who are looked up to. With an international presence, how did you choose Woodstock as your next location? How involved are you in the fran-

chise itself ? Are you still connected with it at all? I sold School of Rock in 2009 and haven’t been involved with the business since early 2010. I ended up in Woodstock because of my other business venture, the Woodstock College of Music, which I’m doing with Michael Lang, among others. While that is ramping up for a September 2015 launch, I had the time and opportunity to start a new kids’ music school, the Paul Green Rock Academy, which has been great, because I missed teaching and have gotten to hire a bunch of really great local musicians. What are some misconceptions people have about what you’re doing? Do people take you seriously? The main misconception is that we are only teaching songs, when in fact we are teaching music theory and how to play one’s instruments through songs. Most of the right people take us very seriously, as evidenced by the number of prestigious musicians who have worked with my programs over the years. Speaking of prestigious musicians, Jon Anderson from Yes will be doing two concerts with our students in early April. Exciting! I asked Steve Casa in New Paltz, Olivia and Nicholas’ Dad, to share some of his impressions of the school. “My daughter entered the Paul Green Rock Academy in March of 2013; since then it has been an incredible ride for our family. The Rock Academy teaches music in a much different way: It’s a way that actually gets kids to want to practice. It’s a performance-based model where kids are cast in a show. Olivia’s first, which was also the Rock Academy’s first, was Pink Floyd’s The Wall. Over ten weeks she had a lesson each week with a working musician – in her case it was two-time Grammy nominee Tracy Bonham – and a threehour show rehearsal. Like all kids in the Academy, she had to learn her songs, and therefore learned to play

the piano and sing in a way that motivated her to practice, and practice hard. The show was a huge success and Olivia’s confidence and skills as a pianist and vocalist soared, which motivated her more to practice and perform more. “This ‘experiential learning’ model gives kids such great opportunities to grow as musicians and people. Since that first show she has been in a Led Zeppelin show; a tribute to the Who which her 11-year-old brother Nick joined her in; and they are both cast in a tribute to Levon Helm and the Band in mid-December. Olivia is also fortunate enough to be cast in the Rock Academy Show Band, which will be performing its first headlining gig at the Falcon on November 24. The Show Band will be performing with Jon Anderson from Yes in April, at Mountain Jam next summer and who knows where else. It’s been a pleasure to watch both my children become better musicians, but it’s also made them more confident, motivated and grateful human beings. I wish they had one for adults!”

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

It’s the pits Seedy surroundings can help, when you want to be fruitful and multiply

A

round here, eating fruit isn’t always just about eating fruit. Following my last bite of this Macoun apple that I’m eating, I flick out the seeds with a paring knife into a cup. Same goes for pears and their seeds. Early in summer, I spit out Nanking cherry seeds into a waiting vessel. All these seeds are for planting. Seeds of these cold-hardy plants won’t sprout as soon as they hit moist, warm dirt. If they did, the young seedlings would be snuffed out by winter cold. It is after a period of exposure to cool, moist conditions that they – thinking winter over – sprout. Seeds in dropping fruits, of course, enjoy this experience naturally and poke up through the ground first thing next spring. Wanting to keep a close eye on my seedlings, I plant them in pots and seedflats, rather than let them do what they would do naturally. After I had collected the seeds, I kept them dry, and now am ready to plant them. This week I am sowing the seeds in potting soil in flats and in pots. Once given a good watering, the seedflats and pots get covered with a pane of glass to hold in moisture. Tucked against the north wall of my house, the seeds will sprout in spring. Sometimes I cozy such seeds into plastic bags of moist potting soil in the refrigerator. The problem is that the seeds then sprout in the bags in midwinter. Cool, not cold, temperatures are what fool the

seeds into behaving as if winter’s over. About 1,000 hours, depending on the species and variety of plant, usually do the trick. In the refrigerator, temperatures are always cool; outdoors, only sometimes – and there, it’s not until late winter that the required 1,000 hours of cool temperatures have been fulfilled. It’s hard to provide ample light for an enthusiastic seedling growing in midwinter. Unless a plant self-pollinates and has been grown in isolation, with desirable plants selected each generation for many generations, seedlings are unlike their parents. So none of the fruits on the seedlings that grow from the seeds taken from Macoun, Golden Delicious, Liberty, Bosc, Maxine and Clapp’s Favorite apples and pears will match the parents; they will most likely be inferior. No problem; these seedlings are for rootstocks on which to graft stems of good-tasting varieties of apples and pears. Rootstocks are ready to graft after growing for one season. Nanking cherries are an exception; no varieties are available. The seedlings, which show some variation, are all goodtasting, so no need anyway to graft. Another batch of seeds that I’m sowing is of more tropical-like plants: passionfruit and hardy orange. I write “tropical-like” because the pas-

Passiflora incarnata, with fruit

sionfruit that I’m planting is maypop (Passiflora incarnata) and the hardy orange is Poncirus trifoliata. Both should survive winter cold here. Both are also northern members of tropical or subtropical families, and their seed behavior reflects their tropical “roots.” Hardy orange seeds, like citrus seeds, lose their viability if allowed to dry out. Things are not so clear-cut with the best way to grow maypop from seed. I sowed the seeds as soon as I removed the delectable gel coating each seed (by eating it). Hardy orange is a nice ornamental plant; my hardy orange is the variety Flying Dragon, which is a spectacular ornamental plant. In contrast to apple and pear seedlings, hardy orange seedlings often resemble their Moms. Seeds of hardy orange, like those of citrus, look like any old seeds that result from the union of male pollen with female eggs. In fact, many are apomyctic – that is, derived solely from mother plant tissue. No jumbling around of chromosomes to produce variable seedlings here. Apomyctic seedlings are clones: Flying Dragon, in the

case of my hardy orange seedlings. A citrus or hardy orange fruit yields some apomyctic and some sexual seedlings – about 50 percent of each in the case of hardy orange. As I admired Flying Dragon over the past few months, one way or another I had to make more plants. Cuttings taken a few months ago weren’t rooting, and although the plant flowered, no fruits were evident. Then, last week, as leaves dropped from my plant (hardy orange parts ways with real oranges in being deciduous), I caught sight of a single orange orb perched on a stem. One fruit is plenty, because they are very seedy. That single fruit, smaller than a golfball, yielded 20 seeds. I didn’t eat any of that Flying Dragon fruit. A bit of juice from hardy orange adds a citrusy tang to a recipe, but the fruit itself is too robust and bitter for eating straight up. – Lee Reich Any gardening questions?

It’s Magic Get into gaming at Kirwan’s Game Store in Catskill

E

very Friday night my 7-year-old Milo eats his dinner fast. We are aimed for the weekly Yu-Gi-Oh tournament at Kirwan’s Game Store, just down the hill from us on Main Street, Catskill. Start time is 6:30 sharp, and the play lasts until almost 10 p.m. most nights. Moms and Dads clutter around reading magazines, checking e-mails, as the kids play in pairings from Milo’s age, at the youngest end, up to 46-year-old Frank, with a majority of players aged 14 to 22. There’s no music; the lighting’s bright at long tables. Kids spend money on vending machines that sell drinks and snacks, as well as their allowance money

“I’m always amazed at the socialization skills games teach people,” Kirwan says, noting a shy girl at a table of young men, holding her own on variously priced game packs in the softly lit store half at Kirwan’s. In the back are tables for those playing Magic: The Gathering, a host of board games with intricate figures. Kirwan’s is big, and on several weekend nights each month pulls 200 or more players for large regional tournaments. Its denizens keep the downtown area’s various takeout eateries in business; the game store itself keeps a huge supply of trading cards, from today’s games to old baseball faves. My son oohs and aahs at several thousand-plus-dollar Roberto Clementes. There are Hobbit and Master of War and other model figures, and all the stuff that one needs to paint and accessorize them, plus one of the most complete sets of board games for sale seen anywhere. They have board games that kids (or waiting parents) can play for free, and a full staff of helpful young men and women in light blue tee-shirts to help with game rules and any questions that players might have. Owner Steve Kirwan is on hand at his store most hours of the day. He grew up in Greene County and remembers game stores from when he was a kid. Kirwan

Kirwan’s Game Store occupies what used to be Van Gordon’s Stationery store, in operation for over a century, and Looking Pretty women’s fashions shop, both of whose employees he’s kept on. It hosts various events for Main Street and area kids, and Kirwan’s currently working out in-school gaming programs with the local school district. It has become one of Main Street Catskill’s biggest new businesses. “I’m always amazed at the socialization skills games teach people,” Kirwan says, noting a shy girl at a table of young men, holding her own and smiling at her new role as a player. “With this store I feel I’ve hooked into the ultimate good…You always want to take care of your home, and kids are a start of that. This gives them something to do.” I watch and listen in as Milo “verses” first a 21-year-old, then a 46-year-old, to use the

He loses some, wins some, all the time working with high numbers in his head, reading complex effects in dense descriptions and both socializing like a grownup and handling his wins and losses like a little man.

art gallery and art school, and the fervent admiration of generations of devoted art students. To his personal credit, he leaves a lasting legacy of art, beauty and a sustaining example, having led a life of purpose with unwavering determination and accomplishment. Born on April 8, 1922 in Richmond Hill, New York, Angeloch served in the US Air Corps and Army during World War II where he was a pilot,

studied to be an engineer and ended up in medical school. He studied at The Art Students League of New York from 1946-1951, where he ďŹ rst began painting with Yasuo Kuniyoshi and printmaking with Martin Lewis. He spent the summer of 1947 learning the craft of making woodcuts with Fiske Boyd and it was that summer that Angeloch ďŹ rst studied nature working out of doors. For this reason he recently Continued on Page 13

he Phoenicia Library was gutted by ďŹ re in the early morning hours of Saturday, March 19. Within three days, plans were already in place to open a temporary library on Saturday, March 26, in the building recently vacated by Maverick Family Health, across from the Phoenicia post ofďŹ ce. “It’ll be a bare-bones operation,â€? cautioned library director Tracy Priest. “We’re restoring minimal services, but we want to open our doors. People can return library books and pick up books they’ve ordered from interlibrary loan. From the Mid-Hudson Library System, we’re borrowing a computer and components we need to check books in and out. We’ll open at 10 a.m., and Letter Friends, the early literacy program, will happen at its normal time, 11 a.m. We’re looking eventually to have a small lending library, which may be on the honor system, since all our bar codes were destroyed in the ďŹ re.â€? Writing classes and other programs scheduled for later in the spring will be held as planned. It looks like at least a couple of computers will be donated for use by patrons. The blaze was reported to have come from an electri-

cal ďŹ re, which started in the back of the building. “We don’t have a full report on the extent of the damage,â€? said Priest, who visited the building after the ďŹ re with the insurance adjuster and Town of Shandaken supervisor Rob Stanley. “The adjuster said there has to be a second claims adjustment because it’s considered a major loss. We don’t think any books or materials will be salvageable. But because of the location of the ďŹ shing collection, we may be able to clean some of that and save it.â€? The Jerry Bartlett Memorial Angling Collection includes more than 500 ďŹ shing and nature books, plus an exhibit of ďŹ shing rods, lures, y tying gear, and photographs. “The books are a mess,â€? said Priest. “Everything is fused together and melted. What’s in the front of the building has been damaged by smoke and water, but everything there is like we left it. Then you cross a line towards the back, and everything is black. There’s a hole of the ceiling of the children’s room, and you can look right up into my ofďŹ ce upstairs. Everything from my desk is on the oor Continued on Page 7

he latest Onteora Central School District 2011-2012 budget proposal does not include massive layoffs as might be seen in other districts, but does feature the elimination of six teacher positions and reductions to part-time of another ďŹ ve, among job cuts in many sectors. The cuts are seen as a reaction to declining enrollment, but also contribute to a total plan that increases spending by only 0.87 percent, that would translate, based on revenue ďŹ gures, to a 3.9 percent levy increase. At the Tuesday, March 22 board of education meeting at Woodstock Elementary, school ofďŹ cials presented The Superintendent’s Recommended Budget to trustees that includes an increase in spending to a total of $50,477,497. If the board adopts the budget at its April 5 session, voters will be asked to vote on the budget on May 17. If voters reject the budget proposal, a contingency (or austerity) budget could be put in place that would eliminate $121,785 from the equipment budget line, as mandated by the

90 Miles to present “I Remember Mama�

An Angeloch sky

Onteora board hears of cuts, tax rates, layoffs

INETY MILES OFF Broadway will present “I Remember Mama� at the New Paltz Reformed Church on Nov. 2, Nov. 3, Nov. 9 and Nov. 10 at 7:30 p.m. and Nov. 11 at 2 p.m. The play will also be performed at the First United Methodist Church in Highland on Nov. 17 at 7:30 p.m. The story shows how Mama,

with the help of her husband and her Uncle Chris, brings up the children in a modest San Francisco home during the early years of the century. Mama, with sweetness and capability, sees her children through childhood, managing to educate them and to see one of her daughters begin a career as a writer. Mama’s sisters and uncle furnish a rich

background for a great deal of comedy and a little incidental tragedy. Tickets are $15 for general admission, $8 for students on opening night only, $12 for seniors/students and advanced sales and $10 for members/groups. For additional information, e-mail email@ninetymilesobroadway.com or call 256-9657.

N TUESDAY, NOV. 6, not only will residents vote on numerous contended races -- most notably being who shall become the president of the US -- but there will also be a plethora of local votes cast for federal, state, county and municipal political leaders. In the Town of Lloyd, the only local referendum on the ballot is for voters to decide whether or not the town clerk, town highway superintendent and town supervisor should have their two-year terms extended to four years. These are all separate referenda, as suggested by Lloyd supervisor Paul Hansut, who said that he wants to give “voters a chance to weigh in on each and every position, and not lump them all together, as many towns have done in the past.â€? The idea behind the four-year term, according to Hansut, is to give those elected to oďŹƒce “enough time to get familiar with the nuts and bolts of the job, Continued on page 12

hen Jenny Lee Fowler moved from Oregon in 1997, she decided to mark each snowfall that first winter in the East by cutting a snowflake out of paper. Being a person who makes things by hand, it seemed like a fun thing to do. Then, like the icy flakes that drift lazily on the wind before becoming a full-fledged storm, the act of cutting paper snowflakes took on a momentum of its own as Fowler became fascinated with the folk tradition of papercutting. One day, her father-in-law asked her if she’d ever done a portrait, like the silhouettes created by folk artists. Her interest piqued, Fowler dared herself to cut 100 portraits of people. Beginning with friends and family, she later moved on to cutting portraits of strangers, who would sit for her at the campus center at Bard, where Fowler worked. “I practiced a lot and found that I totally loved it,� says Fowler. “It kind of surprised me because I’d thought of silhouette portraits as these kind of ‘stuffy’ things, and then I realized that they were really cross-sections of people at a moment in time. I started to see them as more dynamic.� Fowler came across a passage in which one of the early papercutters called silhouette portraits “a moment’s monument,� a description that she finds particularly apt. “They really do capture a little moment, and even the same person can have a different portrait the next day,� Fowler explains. Artful papercutting is now Fowler’s niche, and the Continued on page 13

November 21, 2013 Gentle Rosie Needs a Home... Rosie is an extremely sweet 4-month old black kitten who needs a home. She’s been spayed, up to date w/shots and has tested negative for feline leukemia/AIDS. We’re heartbroken that we can’t keep this little girl whom we rescued, but our older cat just can’t adjust to not being an only cat. We live in Saugerties. Please call (212)929-1369 or (917)476-9887.

PEACHES NEEDS A HOME PEACHES is a beautiful young cat who recently weaned her six kittens after two months of exemplary care. Her kittens have found their forever homes and now it’s her turn. She is approximately a year old, is up to date with shots, has been health tested, spayed and gets along with other cats. Peaches is fostering with a loving and kind family until she is adopted. She is gentle and so sweet.

She’s about 6-years old, good walking on leash, and has a moderate energy level. She can be shy around certain people, but has been good w/most children, cats, & other dogs while here at the shelter. Gnome; young adult mixed breed dog. He has a lot of energy, so is probably better w/older children & no cats. At the shelter, he’s been good w/other dogs. Luke; young adult, short hair cat w/beautiful markings. He’s very shy around new people, but will easily warm up to someone that feeds, pets, & plays w/him. Because he’s shy, he’d probably do better in a quieter home, preferably w/other cat-friendly cats. Come meet them ALL in person at the Ulster County SPCA, 20 Wiedy Road, off Sawkill Road, Kingston.
