New day for comets What lies ahead
W
e’re suddenly very aware of comets. The spectacular Rosetta mission of the European Space Agency, launched way back in 2004, used three slingshot gravity assists from nearEarth fly-bys before it finally caught up to comet 67P this August while both were moving at 34,000 miles per hour. Orbiting the mountain-sized chunk of ice and dust, it has now dropped a lander onto its surface from a height of 14 miles. A wild adventure! The minuscule gravity of the tiny 2.5-mile-wide comet was not enough to prevent the springy legs of the lander from making it bounce back up into space a half-mile. A thruster was supposed to fire to keep the lander
glued to the surface, and two harpoons were supposed to moor it fiercely like a ship. None of those things worked. So, after bouncing skyward for two hours, it touched down again, this time sideways and in a bad place, shaded from the sunlight that its solar panels require. We will see how much further useful science it produces. But you know what? It really doesn’t matter. The main Rosetta spacecraft still functions perfectly. From its perch just a few miles away, it will perform detailed spectral analysis of the comet’s escaping gases – cool stuff like formaldehyde and stinky hydrogen sulfide, along with copious water vapor – and its cameras will keep watching it. Previously, we only cared about bright

comets, which appear every 15 to 20 years on average. The most recent ones seen here were Comets Hale-Bopp and Hyakutake in the mid-1990s, and before that we had Comet West in 1976. Despite their sinister reputations for thousands of years, comets are both beautiful and fascinating. That brook in your

neighborhood is probably made of 100 percent melted comets. Comets may even have brought the organic materials that served as life’s building blocks. Each comet is an irregularly shaped chunk of dirty ice. They come in from a vast reservoir of comets far beyond Pluto. Their stretched-out, elongated orbits can bring them close to the Sun every few years like this one, or they may visit us only once every few thousand years, like Hale Bopp. As they near the Sun and some of their ice turns to steam, and imbedded dust and other debris get released, it all gets pushed back by the solar wind to form a millionmile-long tail. This is of course a comet’s most spectacular and distinctive feature. But wouldn’t it be fun to have highdefinition cameras at the comet itself during the months that it approaches the Sun? That’s what is finally happening. Between now and August 13, when Comet 67P reaches its perihelion, fissures will open, geysers of steam will erupt and the weird irregular surface will be transformed. Imagine being in a city as manhole covers blow into the air all around you. These violent vents on this comet currently release a gallon of water per second, but the insane activity will increase to 100 gallons per second in a few months. And we will be there watching it happen. It’s the most exciting space probe since Cassini orbited Saturn ten years ago. – Bob Berman Want to know more?

T
he great tradition of vocal jazz has become – even more than mainstream instrumental jazz itself – the subject of light mockery and a specious, easy dismissal in some quarters. In part, jazz – you know, jazzzzz! – has only itself to blame for the laughs of the lounge, for some calcified manners of sophistication and some conventions of phrasing and persona that make for an easy target. Why we tend to hear jazz vocals as mannered while we often uncritically accept stylized retro folksinging as “real” is a subject for another essay: one concerning the problematic idea of the “authentic.” But this essay is all about the good news of Fleurine, the mono-named, Latin-leaning jazz vocalist and poet who performs at the Falcon on Sunday, November 30 at 7 p.m. In the tradition of the great bossa nova singers, Fleurine’s delivery is an understated, crystalline and cheese-free affirmation of jazz song. Her tone is bell-like and subtle, her phrasing miraculous in the way that it honors the verbal line and the melodic line equally, and without much in the way of

melisma and showboating expression. On her stunning 2008 release San Francisco (the title of which has nothing to do with the California city), Fleurine sings over a variety of spare chamberLatin settings: some with nylon string guitar as the principal accompaniment, some (for example, the exquisite duet “Spring-Buds through the Snow”) with Fleurine’s husband the brilliant pianist Brad Mehldau providing profound and empathic counterpoint. It is hard to fault jazz lyricists for attempting to discover equivalencies in sentiment and in language for the music’s extraordinary sophistication, even though the result is often an unintended comedy of manners. Happy to report, again, that
Fleurine is up to the task as a writer as well as a singer, crafting lyrics of wit, emotional precision and striking image. San Francisco kicks off with a breakup
song, “Love Marks,” that manages to combine real pathos with light wordplay and phrase-shaping worthy of classic musical theater: “I’m going to leave you

our cherished good luck charm; it didn’t work/But I’ll keep the jazz records we bought on our trip to New York/Dividing our lives with a fine-tooth comb‌� Fleurine is a truly international jazz vocalist: Dutch-born, Portuguese-bred and in love, as are we all (or should be), with the music of Brazil. She sings in both English and Portuguese (writing primarily in English, it seems). Light percussion buoys most of San Francisco with that rhythmic indeterminacy and impossibly subtle accenting that has both seduced and confounded American ears (and American drummers). At the Falcon, Fleurine’s band is oddly drumless. It features guitarist Syberen van Munster, bassist Doug Weiss and – yes – a certain legendary eminence of the jazz piano who has become a bit of a fixture at Tony Falco’s chapel of serious music over
the last few years. If you would like to be reminded of the relevance of vocal jazz and its potential for growth and surprise, this show promises to be a real revelation. The guitar duo of Tom Polizzi and Scott Veilleux opens. – John Burdick Fleurine, Sunday, November 30, 7 p.m., by donation, Falcon, 1348 Route 9W, Marlboro; www.liveatthefalcon.com.

ZOE MUTH PLAYS ROSENDALE CAFÉ THIS FRIDAY, HELSINKI HUDSON NEXT FRIDAY After being dubbed “Seattle’s Emmylou,â€? the talented retro-folk and country singer/songwriter Zoe Muth saw fit to leave her native Pacific Northwest for one of America’s roots-music Meccas – no, not Music City, but its more indie frontier counterpart: Austin, Texas. There Muth recorded her new album World of Strangers with some heavyweight support, including an actual Dixie Chick. In what is becoming a commonplace American music paradox, Muth’s sojourn to the source produced a record that is far less traditional, less doctrinal and less reverent of roots than the music that she had been producing in Seattle. World of Strangers is still very much a downbeat, world-weary work of literate roots music, but its striking moody ambiance is decidedly modern, building bridges between Gram Parsons and the National. While not nearly as outrageous a departure from the roots dialect as, say, Jolie Holland’s recent dark fuzzfest, Wine Dark Sea, World of Strangers has a meditative cathedralesque quality that is especially affecting on “Somebody I Know,â€? a duet featuring legendary Texas songwriter Bruce Robison and the song from which the album takes its title. Muth’s literate and melancholic take on roots songwriting is a kind of music that has always played well in our parts, where such kindred spirits as Mary Gauthier and Eilen Jewell are regular and honored guests. No stranger to do-it-yourself touring near and far, Zoe Muth and the Lost High Rollers make two local appearances in the weeks ahead. On Friday, November 28 at 8 p.m., she appears at the Rosendale CafĂŠ at 434 Main Street in Rosendale. Tickets cost $15. For more information, visit www.rosendalecafe.com. Then on Friday, December 5 at 9 p.m., Zoe Muth and the Lost High Rollers appear on a shared bill with Eilen Jewell and the Sacred Shakers at Club Helsinki at 405 Columbia Street in Hudson.

Circle Mirror Transformation opens in Woodstock
A
rt imitates life imitates art, and there have been plays about actors, acting troupes and backstage drama, using them metaphorically as mirrors for real life, at least as far as back as Hamlet setting up his play-within-a-play as “the thing/Wherein I’ll catch the conscience of the king,” and Jaques proclaiming that “All the world’s a stage,/And all the men and women merely players.” A Chorus Line took the meta to a new level by having aspiring chorus girls and boys pour their hearts out about their childhood traumas as part of their audition, broaching taboo topics that hadn’t previously been regarded as fit subject matter for stage musicals. Ah, how theater has changed in the ensuing four decades! In Circle Mirror Transformation, which Performing Arts of Woodstock (PAW) will be staging to kick off its 51st season beginning this Friday, playwright Annie Baker takes us further back into the formative processes of theater, showing what goes on in an acting class – in this case, a Stanislavsky Method acting class taught in an adult education program at a community center in a mythical Vermont town by a not particularly well-trained or perceptive teacher. She’s more interested in using acting exercises, like the one in the title, to prod her students into digging down into their psyches, unearthing and sharing their secrets, than in equipping them with actual acting skills. All the action takes place in the classroom over the course of a semester, and the dramatic tension evolves out of what the students find out about themselves and each other through these theater games – and what they then decide to do with that transformative information. Circle Mirror Transformation copped the Obie Award for Best New American Play when it opened Off-Broadway in 2009, and community theater companies all over the country have taken it to their hearts ever since. If you have ever taken an acting class, or know someone who aspires to be an actor, this play will really resonate with you. Even if not, you’ll still find it entertaining and thought-provoking – “merely players” as we all may be at heart, no matter what we do for a living. Trish Hawkins directs the PAW production, which stars Tesa Flores, Chris Grady, Molly Parker Myers, David Rose and Julie Szabo. The play will be performed at Mountain View Studio in Woodstock for three weekends. Friday and Saturday evening performances begin at 8 p.m. on November 28 and 29, December 5, 6, 12 and 13, with Sunday matinées at 3 p.m. on December 7 and 14.

Acting, in the end, is not only Brandy’s profession; it’s something that she does all the time, whether interacting with her restaurateur husband Tim, her children or Greene’s camera. Greene, who previously made the acclaimed Fake It So Real, about amateur wrestlers, and Kati with an I, which followed a Southern teen facing the onset of adulthood, sees his latest as the third in a trilogy all about self-identity and the idea of performance as an element of all our everyday lives.

Lynn Palumbo/Rudy Vavra show opens this Sunday at Rhinebeck’s Atwater Gallery Lynn Palumbo, who teaches art at Dutchess Community College and will be showing new works in a two-person exhibition with abstract painter Rudy Vavra at Rhinebeck’s Atwater Gallery starting this Sunday, began her latest body of subtle works with a close look at an heirloom quilt that her family has passed down from its Ohio roots for a good century-and-a-half now. “Sustained observation is connection. Whether one is drawing the figure, natural forms, architecture or, in this case, a domestic artifact; anything can be a possible source for attentiveness,” she says of what she has created from the quilt’s puckered, embossed surface. “The artist supplies depth of perception. Studying the quilt through drawing has made me more conscious of continuity in artforms and of persistence in process.” Vavra’s paintings mix together random marks and bursts of color in abstract patternings that “are poised in moments of suspended motion and seem ready to resume movement again.” As he puts it, “To make a painting is to find a painting.” – Paul Smart “Lynn Palumbo/Rudy Vavra: New Work” opening, Sunday, November 29, 5-8 p.m., through January 12, Atwater Gallery, 56 East Market Street, Rhinebeck; (845) 876-4922.

T
here’s an utter wildness and truly unbridled joy to the grand new acquisition of Pasturing Horses, an 18th-century scroll painting by Japanese artist Soga Shohaku, that Vassar College’s Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center recently made. This not only makes the collection’s representation of Kyoto’s mid-Edo painters known as “the Eccentrics” complete, but also elevates the museum’s sampling of classic Japanese art to world-class level. The painting, rediscovered in 2003, has been exhibited two times and will be shipped to Poughkeepsie in January. It was originally painted for sliding cupboard doors and depicts Tartars training or pasturing horses, a subject of both humor and the contemplation of wildness. A date for its first exhibition at the Lehman Loeb Art Center, located just off Raymond Avenue within the Vassar campus, has not yet been established. – Paul Smart Pasturing Horses, Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center, Vassar College, 124 Raymond Avenue, Poughkeepsie; (845) 437-5632, http://fllac.vassar.edu.

They look at what’s already in town and try not to move next door to the same kind of restaurant. He says, “There are already three Asian restaurants in

N
ina Paturel and Luc Moeys, an entrepreneurial couple who own Oriole9 and Yum Yum Noodle Bar in Woodstock and another Yum Yum Noodle Bar in Uptown Kingston, recently bought what used to be Jack & Luna’s in Stone Ridge. They renamed it Lekker, which is Dutch for “delicious,” and it’s a nice bright spot for slow-pulled coffee, juices and delectable edibles. Paturel was born and raised in Woodstock, and she says that she always wanted to escape. So she moved to Amsterdam, where she met Luc. He’d studied business in school, but trained as a chef so that he could travel. “I wanted to see a lot of things, and as a chef you can,” says Moeys. Their plan was to live somewhere else, maybe an island in the Caribbean; but they ended up living in the Hudson Valley. Moeys’ first job in the area was at the DePuy Canal House in High Falls. Small-business owners are often tethered to their stores. Paturel and Moeys are aiming for a different work paradigm. “Nina and I just like to build things,” Moeys says. “With that comes a lot of work, but also a lot of freedom. It’s all about empowerment. All those people who complain that they’re tied down – that’s a control issue. We only interfere if something really doesn’t fly with what our beliefs are.” Oriole9 runs exactly the way that the couple wants it to. “The staff decides what they do within the guidelines,” says Moeys. “We don’t have the best solutions. The more eyes, the better... Also, it creates a culture where somebody who’s dishonest doesn’t fit in.” Paturel says that once the staff is empowered to be truly responsible and do its best for the customer, then she and Moeys have essentially given their job to everyone else. “Then we stand there and say, ‘We don’t have a job. Let’s go start another…’ It’s the trust thing; that’s what gives us the freedom. Before we opened in Stone Ridge, we were in Africa for six weeks.” The four restaurants are separate
Stone Ridge, and I’m a big proponent of not stepping on people’s toes. We say, ‘The more, the merrier,’ but you need to breed diversity. Realize whom you want to serve. Some people like Oriole9 for breakfast. Some people like Deising’s, and that’s fine. You have to own what you create, stand behind your product. Simplicity is the key.” Under the management of Brianna Pintens, Lekker serves breakfast, brunch and lunch all day long, using many products from local farms. Lekker also offers full-service catering. – Ann Hutton Lekker, 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. daily, 3928 Main Street, Stone Ridge; (845) 6879794, www.lekker209.com.
businesses, each run by its own manager. Technology allows the couple to be in touch with each location and, when necessary, step in to handle matters. “All our restaurants are up-to-date with everything that exists, such as the pointof-sales system,” Moeys says, gesturing towards the counter. “It’s fully wireless. We can take your credit card without taking it away from you. This existed in Holland ten years ago.” “All this – the trusted staff and the technology – is what allows us to go away for six weeks. We love technology. We literally worked from Zimbabwe,” Paturel says. “Yeah, we’re in a Jeep watching lions, and we’re on the phone making sure the milk arrives,” Moeys says. “It was actually payroll,” adds Paturel.
“I’m the foreigner here. I cannot tell you how many opportunities there are here. It is unbelievable,” Moeys says. “We’re big believers in ‘The more, the merrier.’ I think branding is American, and it works. We’d love Yum Yum to be a national model, or even a tri-state model. But we’re not in a rush, and we have a lot of ideas. It’s such a small community that people know us now. We’re trying to create something special. We would love good people to join us. It’s hard to find people – in the kitchen, on the management level, on the think-tank level. That is the one thing in the US: If you’re good at what you do, you want to do it yourself.

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK
Quite a haul Figs need TLC to keep bearing sweet fruits out of season
F
igs thrive in heat and sunlight – nothing like the cold and frequently overcast days that we now have, with only a few hours of sun when it does show itself. Still, my figs keep my attention. In the greenhouse, heated only enough to keep temperatures above 35 degrees Fahrenheit, the fig trees still have plenty of hard, unripe fruits splayed along their stems. Nothing odd about that: Figs – unlike apples and most other fruits, which ripen during a narrow window in time – keep developing and ripening new fruits all along their growing stems. But only one of my varieties, given the name Rabbi Samuel, seems able to tap into what little sunlight and heat are still at hand. The flavor of fruits that ripen on the heels of a spate of cold, rainy weather falls flat. But whenever sunlight fuels enough photosynthesis in the leaves and warmth in the greenhouse for at least a couple of days, a few fruits will swell and
soften, their rosy insides then sweet and richly flavored. Next year’s fig crops are also on my mind. Greenhouse figs no longer bearing good-tasting fruits get lopped back to three to four feet high. That

ous growth, but the figs on that new growth would begin ripening too late. Potted figs have also been pruned and moved to my barely heated basement, where temperatures below 50 degrees will restrain growth until outdoor temperatures in spring warm enough so that the pots can be moved back out. Figs are subtropical plants that, when dormant, tolerate temperatures down into the 20s or lower. If kept too warm in winter, new growth begins indoors. That new growth is tender and easily burned by slight frost or even bright sunlight when moved outside. Potted figs are difficult to muscle around; mine need to be carried through three doorways and then down narrow stairs to the basement. So a potted fig needs to be kept in a reasonably sized pot, even though that allows for only a reasonable amount of growth, which in turn allows for only a reasonably sized crop. I worked my way around this problem

Continuing the Mediterranean theme (is this some primal attraction to a Garden of Eden?), I wrote back in May about growing, with reservations, Gobbo di Nizza (Hunchback of Nice) cardoon. In my garden many years ago, cardoon proved to be an enormous, spiny, bitter-tasting vegetable. But that wasn’t Gobbo di Nizza cardoon.

by taking one of my potted figs, a Kadota, out of its pot and planting it directly in the ground in spring. Theoretically, eager roots reach out into the surrounding soil, enough to support more growth – and larger crops – than if restricted within a pot. Another plus with this method is that no watering is needed beyond an initial drenching. My success, thus far, has been limited. Kadota may require too long a season to begin ripening any fruit outdoors here. Still, success might come once the plant gets used to its routine; or I’ll use this method with a shorter-season variety, such as Brown Turkey. The time to dig up a planted out fig is anytime before temperatures dip below about 20 degrees – or sooner, if the plant has lost its leaves and gone dormant.

November 27, 2014 First off, Gobbo di Nizza is not spiny. It looks spiny, but the soft “spines” don’t bite. This is an impressive-looking plant, something like a giant thistle (which it is, as is the closely related artichoke, botanically speaking): a whorl of graygreen leaves (very Mediterranean) soaring almost four feet high. I tasted Gobbo di Nizza a month or so ago and was very unimpressed with its bitter flavor. Blanching, which is blocking out sunlight, is a way that the flavor of vegetables such as endive and chicory is mellowed. Some folks blanch cardoon. So I gathered together Gobbo’s leaves, secured them in a tight bundle with a wrapping of twine and waited a few weeks. Once I had harvested the leaves, removed the blades and pared away the stringy flesh, I was left holding large, pale leaf stalks, the stalks looking much like celery on steroids. Chopped into one-inch pieces, and drained after being boiled for 15 minutes in salted water, Gobbo di Pizza had a smooth, artichokey flavor: quite good. Perhaps it was the olive oil and homegrown sun-dried tomatoes that I drizzled over them.

Beets are too earthy in flavor for my palate, and it’s not my imagination. That earthy flavor is from geosmin, a substance that is actually also present in soil!

A
ccording to founder Roxanne Ferber, a local Mom in Saugerties, “Operation Christmas Cheer is a letter-writing movement. Volunteers send cards and letters at Christmas to local children who are seriously ill.” This is where you and your family come in, and you could start this weekend: “The mission of OCC is to send an avalanche of colorful Christmas cards to decorate a hospital room, or a room at home where the children spend most of their time healing.” With so many families interested in volunteering during the holidays, but with limited windows of opportunities due to busy schedules or with children too young for some of the agency settings, this is a fantastic way for all ages in the community to make a difference. For children’s names and mailing addresses, and other ways to spread cheer to these children and their loved ones, simply “Like” the Operation Christmas Cheer page on Facebook at www.facebook.com/operationxmascheer.

Grab your bins & get ready for the Christmas Bird Count! Families can get a lot out of watching a birdfeeder, suggests Mark DeDea, president of the John Burroughs Natural History Society but probably best known as the friendly, familiar presence as caretaker at Forsyth Nature Center, often referring to himself as Mark at the Park. “You’ll be able to view these birds from pretty close range and for extended periods of time, all from the comfort of your warm home. You will start to notice and retain things like the way certain species are foraging, flying or even vocalizing.” My kids like to check the bird chart that we keep near the feeder window, but Mark invites viewers to observe even more: “The
practice of learning the GISS [General Impression of Shape and Size: borrowed English expression from identifying German planes during World War II] of the bird almost happens naturally. Challenge yourself with distinguishing the subtleties of certain sparrow species’ markings, or different bill structures of finches. This winter training will allow a novice to get to an identification more rapidly, and this experience will serve the new birder well the following spring when we would discourage constant referral to a field guide while birding – rather soaking up the greater species diversity.” Some folks are looking for gift ideas. One of Mark’s tips is to get the best binoculars (“bins”) that you can: “Do some research, ask a lot of questions, [save your money] and then spend as much as you are comfortable with on binoculars. This is your most important tool, and if hooked, will be used daily and serve as your trusted companion. A good pair of bins will be cherished and only add to the enjoyment of birding. Purchasing an inexpensive pair will lead to regrets and frustration and ultimately buying a better pair – or in some cases, just abandoning the hobby.” How about ideas on what it is we’re actually looking at? Mark advises, “Utilize free resources like www.allaboutbirds.org or www.ebird.org, and purchase a good field guide [I recommend the National Audubon Society’s The Sibley Field Guide to Birds of Eastern North America] so that you are acquainted with local bird life.” But he encourages us to keep our sights lifted up: “Try to avoid keeping your nose in the book while you are in the field. Be a sponge and absorb all you hear and see [lots of people like to take notes or make sketches as well].” You can visit Mark at the Forsyth Nature Center on Lucas Avenue in Kingston to pick up copies of Where to Bird in

Habitat for Humanity could use your help
“V
olunteering for Habitat for Humanity is a win/win/win/ win,” says Barb Adams, co-build captain, enthusiastically. “You’re helping a neighbor out of poverty. You’re helping turn an entire neighborhood around. You’re learning new skills. You’re meeting wonderful people. Habitat is not a Band-Aid on the problems of poverty. Habitat is a solution to the problems of poverty.” When I asked about this project, I thought that Barb was going to show me one particular house on Thompson Street in Poughkeepsie, but that was the last part of what I saw. First, she pointed across the street to a house that’s boarded up. Habitat owns that house and will begin work on it soon. Next to that house is a tidy home, which was a former Habitat project. The porch across the street and the porch to my left were completed with volunteer help as well. And now this current house is almost completed, and the family will be purchasing it and moving in soon. Volunteers must be 16 and older to be on the work site, and I hope that those of you with older teens make arrangements to volunteer. Wouldn’t it be cool to replace a workplace holiday party with a volunteer shift at Habitat? If you’d like to continue into the New Year, there’s a house a couple of blocks away to work on. Habitat for Humanity could also use office volunteers, food for the Saturday workers, donations of materials and financial contributions. A group of homeschooled Girl Scouts is making a welcome gift basket for one of the new homeowners, so perhaps that’s something that your group would like to participate in for a future build. Habitat sells the homes to clients who meet various criteria of income and job security, and the homeowners put in 400 hours of sweat equity. That sale then helps to fund the next project.

Sendoff for a saint Before he gets on a tugboat, Sinterklaas will be celebrated in Kingston
P
lenty of towns welcome the holidays with community celebrations, but there’s nothing quite like Sinterklaas. The bicoastal celebration will return to Kingston and Rhinebeck, honoring the Dutch history of the Hudson Valley with traditions adapted from the myth of Sinterklaas, a figure similar to Santa Claus who arrives in the Netherlands every year on a steamboat from Spain. In Kingston and Rhinebeck, the nondenominational festival focuses on empowering children through creativity and imagination. Preparation for Sinterklaas’ journey began weeks ago, but the liveliest part of the celebration takes place over the next two weekends. It starts on Saturday, November 29 with the Sinterklaas Sendoff in Kingston. In the local adaptation of the Sinterklaas tradition, Kingston has taken on the role of Spain, and a weeklong voyage delivers Sinterklaas to Rhinecliff and then to Rhinebeck on December 6. The festivities start at 11 a.m. on November 29 at the Hudson River Maritime Museum with a workshop in which little kings and queens can make crowns and scepterlike branches to wear. This workshop runs from 11 a.m. -3 p.m. The streets will gradually come to life with performers and Sinterklaas characters bringing their offbeat brand of holiday cheer to Kingston. Among them will be a Town Crier, the Man with Bells and the Pocket Lady: a generous figure

It’s almost time for the sainted bishop Nikolaos of Myra – still looking remarkably well-preserved, in spite of having been born in the fourth century – to make his annual tugboat voyage from Kingston to Rhinecliff. Being the patron saint of sailors (as well as of merchants, archers, thieves, children and students), Nikolaos the Wonderworker – a/k/a Saint Nicholas – will be feted with parades on the Rondout (11/29) in Kingston and in Rhinebeck (12/6).

asilica Hudson is bringing back a reprise of last year’s inaugural Farm + Flea on Saturday and Sunday, November 29 and 30 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Visitors can shop, eat, listen to music or attend educational workshops and cultural lectures. Admission costs $3 for adults and is free for those under age 16. The event is being billed as the “alternative to Black Friday,” with a juried marketplace of farmers, artisans and vintage collectors offering highquality and handmade goods for sale. The weekend kicks off with the free and open-to-the public Black Friday Soirée on Friday, November 28 from 5 to 9 p.m., featuring light fare and a variety of tastings, including cocktail samples by Lady Jayne’s Alchemy and cider by Nine Pin Cider Works of Albany. Music will be provided by DJ Dan Bunny of John Doe Records and Georgia & Co. The Farm + Flea will be held at Basilica Hudson, the 17,000-square-foot repurposed 19th-century factory converted into an art, performance, production and event space. Basilica spokesperson Akemi Hiatt said that the event will be held both indoors and outside of the building, regardless of the weather. Last year’s Farm + Flea was very successful, she said, drawing 2,000 people, and they’re expecting an even-bigger turnout this year. The event is co-presented by Hudson River Exchange, a collective of three craftswomen of like mind – Kate Sterlin, Stella Yoon and Kate Moore – who in this case are partnering with Basilica Hudson to organize the affair and bringing their own line of handmade goods to the market. Look for the Hudson Valley Seed Library with its organic and heirloom seed packets, sisters Melissa and Jennifer VanSant of Going Gnome with hand-felted gnomes and magical creatures, Botanical Arts Press with herbalist Dina Falconi, botanical artist Wendy Hollender and the Kingston-based Wishbone Letterpress. Farmers will offer a range of produce, meat, dairy and grains, along with flowers, herbs, tinctures and tea.

LEGISLATIVE INTENT AND FINDINGS. The Ulster County Legislature hereby determines that is appropriate and necessary to amend Local Law Number 5 of 1989 to prevent misleading and deceptive trade practices with respect to the pricing of gasoline on signs at gasoline stations located within Ulster County that are not regulated by Article 16 of the New York State Agriculture and Markets Law.

For example, a sign which only reveals the price per gallon for a cash payment but fails to include and make equally and plainly visible the price per gallon by debit or credit payment, when a difference in price exists, shall constitute a deceptive trade practice. However, a sign which does not distinguish between the price per gallon for payment by cash and payment by credit or debit shall not be considered a deceptive trade practice, only if the price per gallon is the same regardless of the form of payment. The price of gasoline available to retail customers on one or more signs must be so positioned and lit so that the price that the signs display will be readily seen by motorists approaching the gasoline station at any time that the gasoline station is open for business to supply gasoline. If only one price is posted, such signs must display in all instances the price of gasoline at the standard retail price available to all customers, without any discounts or special offers. If discounted pricing is displayed on the sign it must be of the same size as the regular price of gasoline. SECTION 3. SEVERABILITY. If any part or provision of this Local Law or the application thereof to any person or circumstances be adjudged invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction such judgment shall be confined in its operation to the part of the provision or application directly involved in the controversy in which judgment shall have been rendered and shall not affect or impair the validity of the remainder of this Local Law or the application thereof to other persons or circumstances and the Ulster County Legislature hereby declares that it would have passed this Local Law or the remainder thereof had such invalid application or invalid provision been apparent. SECTION 4. EFFECTIVE DATE. This Local Law shall take effect one hundred and twenty (120) days after its adoption.

Gerentine, and Deputy Chairman Tracey A. Bartels offer the following: WHEREAS, the Executive Budget recommends the establishment of a tax stabilization reserve fund to protect taxpayers from unsustainable and unpredictable fluctuations in county taxes; and WHEREAS this fund is designed to guard against unforseen increases in County costs such as additional unfunded state mandates, increased pension costs, or cuts in state aid; and WHEREAS, this fund provides the type of stability and fiscal responsibility that the New York State Comptroller’s Office and our bond rating agencies recommend; now, therefore be it RESOLVED, that there be and hereby is established a Tax Stabilization Reserve Fund in the amount of one million five hundred dollars ($1,500,000.00); and, be it further RESOLVED, such fund is to be known as the “Tax Stabilization Reserve Fund of the County of Ulster (the “Fund”); and, be it further RESOLVED, there may be paid into such Fund such amounts as may be provided therefor by budgetary appropriation, unappropriated cash surplus in the eligible portion of the annual budget as defined in subsection 1(e) of section 6-e of the General Municipal Law of the State of New York, and such revenues as are not required by law to be paid into any other fund or account; provided, however, that no amount may be appropriated for payment into such Fund which would cause the balance of the Fund to exceed ten (10) percent of the eligible portion of the annual budget for the fiscal year for which the appropriation would be made; and, be it further RESOLVED, moneys in such Fund may be appropriated only: a. To finance an unanticipated revenue loss chargeable to the eligible portion of the annual budget, subject to the following limitations: (1) the maximum amount of moneys in the Fund that may be used to finance an unanticipated revenue loss shall equal either the amount of the revenue actually received for the base year or the amount of the estimated revenue for the current fiscal year, whichever is less, minus the amount of the revenue actually received for the current fiscal year; and
(2) the moneys in the Fund may be used only to finance that portion of the unanticipated revenue loss which, as a matter of law, cannot be financed with amounts available in any other account or fund. b. To finance an unanticipated expenditure chargeable to the eligible portion of the annual budget, subject to the following limitations: (1) the maximum amount of moneys in the Fund that may be used to finance an unanticipated expenditure shall equal the sum of the amount of the unanticipated expenditure and the amount appropriated for that purpose for the current fiscal year minus either the amount appropriated for that purpose for the current fiscal year or the actual expenditure for the same purpose in the base year, whichever is greater; and (2) the moneys in the Fund may be used only to finance that portion of an unanticipated expenditure which, as a matter of law, cannot be financed with amounts available in any other account or fund. c. To lessen or prevent any projected increase in excess of two and one half (2 ½) percent in the amount of the real property tax levy needed to finance the eligible portion of the annual budget for the next succeeding fiscal year. The maximum amount of moneys in the Fund that may be used for this purpose shall equal the difference between the projected amount of such real property tax levy and one hundred two and one half (102 ½) percent of the amount of the real property tax levy needed to finance the eligible portion of the annual budget for the current fiscal year; and, be it further RESOLVED, the Ulster County Commissioner of Finance (the “Commissioner of Finance”) shall account for the Fund separate and apart from all other funds of the County of Ulster (the “County”). Such accounting shall show: the source, date and amount of each sum paid into the Fund; the interest earned by such Fund; capital gains or losses resulting from the sale of investments of the Fund; the order, source thereof, date and amount of each appropriation from this Fund; the assets of the Fund, indicating cash balance and a schedule of investments. Not later than sixty (60) days after the start of each fiscal year and at such times as may be required by the Ulster County Legislature (the “Legislature”) or the Ulster County Executive (the “Executive”), the Commissioner of Finance shall furnish to the Legislature and the Executive a detailed report of the operation and condition of the Fund during the preceding fiscal year which shall include a statement of receipts and disbursements, and a statement of the balance of the Fund as of the last day of such preceding fiscal year and such other dates as may be specified by the Legislature Not later than thirty (30) days prior to the last date provided by the Ulster County Charter (the “Charter”) for the filing of the executive operating budget, the Commissioner of Finance shall furnish to the County Executive a statement of the current balance of the Fund. When preparing the executive operating budget of the County, if the current balance of the Fund, as shown by the statement of the Commissioner of Finance required by this section, exceeds ten percent of the eligible portion of the annual budget for the current fiscal year, such excess shall be used to reduce the amount of real property taxes needed to finance the eligible portion of the annual budget for the next succeeding fiscal year; and, be it further RESOLVED, the Executive and the members of the Legislature, as trustees of the moneys in the Fund, shall be subject to all duties and responsibilities imposed by law on trustees, and such duties and responsibilities may be enforced by the Executive and the Legislature, or any officer or taxpayer thereof; and, be it further RESOLVED, any officer of the County shall be guilty of a misdemeanor if he or she willfully and knowingly causes the County to: a. Appropriate moneys from the Fund for any purpose not authorized by this section. b. Expend any money from the Fund for a purpose other than that for which it was appropriated. The provisions of this section shall be considered to be in addition to any other penalties provided by law; and, be it further RESOLVED, that out of the revenues received by the County during the year 2015 and not otherwise appropriated, the sum of one million five hundred dollars ($1,500,000.00) be and the same hereby is appropriated for said Tax Stabilization Reserve Fund of the County of Ulster, and the Commissioner of Finance of the County is hereby authorized, empowered and directed to transfer from said revenues the said sum of one million five hundred dollars ($1,500,000.00) dollars to said Fund; and, be it further RESOLVED, such additional sums as may hereafter be appropriated shall become part of said Fund; and, be it further RESOLVED, such additional sums as may hereafter be appropriated shall become part of said Fund; and, be it further RESOLVED, the Commissioner of Finance in his/her discretion, may invest the moneys in such Fund in the manner provided in section 6-f of the General Municipal Law of the State of New York.

At a recent graduation speech I heard: I’d like to thank the internet, Google, Wikipedia, Microsoft Word, and Copy & Paste. The world sure has changed hasn’t it? The internet for searching out homes to buy is popular, but really has serious shortcomings. For instance, the pictures might be good, but the home sits across from a sewage treatment plant, or the next door neighbor’s hobby is repairing junk cars. How are you to know? You can’t. It’s a million dollar home, but the road in passes a huge trailer park. Now there is nothing wrong with trailer parks, but how do you think it affects the value of the home? Don’t ask trulia or Zillow, ask us.
THANK YOU! In the spirit of the holiday, we thank all of our past and present clients for the confidence and trust that has resulted in our 35 years as an industry leader in Ulster County residential Real Estate.
