Rick Danko birthday bash with Professor Louie at Bearsville

New Year’s Eve Millbrook returns with early-evening family fun

One of Woodstock’s bestloved adopted sons, the everboyish bassist and vocalist Rick Danko, would have turned 71 this Sunday, December 29. The 14th anniversary of his tragically early demise also just passed on December 10; but all the attention being paid to the more recent loss of Levon Helm has meant that his former Bandmate isn’t being remembered quite so much of late. Leave it to another old Woodstock chum and musical colleague, Louie Hurwitz, to rectify that oversight. This Saturday evening, December 28, Professor Louie & the Crowmatix will be rounding up a crew of special guests at the Bearsville Theater for a “Celebrate the Music of Rick Danko” concert. The doors open at 8 p.m. and the show starts at 9. Tickets cost a mere $15. To order, visit www.bearsvilletheater.com/ events-calendar/professor-louie-the-crowmatix-celebrate-the-music-of-rick-dankosa122813. – Frances Marion Platt

Though for teens and tweens it can present a lucrative opportunity for babysitting gigs, for younger children New Year’s Eve can be a weird time. Your parents are off having some mysterious sort of fun with other grownups, leaving you with a pile of DVDs and some microwave popcorn, in the care of an adolescent overseer. Many kids respond to this perceived abandonment with an almost-missionary zeal to see if they can stay up until midnight. Some inevitably conk out; others get so wired that they end up outlasting their weary parents. With New Year being the last gasp of the festivities associated with the onset of winter in American culture, it feels like a bit of a letdown not to celebrate in some way. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could get the fun over with a little earlier in the evening of December 31, and maybe even be able to have the little ones tag along? A growing number of communities and organizations are beginning to offer such alternatives, like the annual 12 noon countdown for kids at the Mid-Hudson Children’s Museum on the Poughkeepsie waterfront. The Village of Millbrook in Dutchess County has been doing it in style for ten years now: a public service organized by the Millbrook Rotary and sponsored by the Dyson Foundation, Community Foundations of the Hudson Valley, the Dutchess County Arts Council, the Millbrook Tribute Garden and a variety of local businesses, civic groups and community-minded individuals. New Year’s Eve Millbrook (NYEM) is a family-friendly evening affair, running from 4 to 8:15 p.m. and centered at the north end of Franklin Avenue. So you can

Amy & Leslie reunite for New Year’s Eve concert in Woodstock There’s something sweet when a new holiday tradition takes hold, especially when it involves old friends. Take the long-popular singing duo of Amy & Leslie, who have been regaling folks, and doing backup work for other artists, throughout the Woodstock area. Amy Fradon and Leslie Ritter joined forced in the 1980s, putting out six albums and singing on recordings by Orleans, Rick Danko, Happy and Artie Traum and John Sebastian. Their upcoming New Year’s Eve concert at Woodstock’s Mountain View Studios is now in its third year. Fradon, the daughter of the woman who illustrated the comic strip Brenda Starr, wrote most of the duo’s original songs and led arrangements of their unique takes on Beatles, Band and other classic rock standards. They broke up for a spell in the 1990s, but started singing together again

ALMANAC WEEKLY in recent years. The concert runs from 8 to 9:30 p.m.: late enough to have dinner first and party afterwards. The duo will be accompanied by Cathie Malach and Helen Avakian, making it a girls’ night out while they follow in the footsteps of past Woodstock New Year’s Eve concertizing traditions, such as those by the late Rick Danko. – Paul Smart Amy & Leslie, Tuesday, December 31, 8-9:30 p.m., $20, reservations recommended, Mountain View Studio, 20 Mountain View Avenue off Rock City Road (behind the parking lot on the left), Woodstock; (845) 657-2172, www.mtnviewstudio.com.

New Year’s Day Snowshoe Outing at Minnewaska State Park Will 2014 be an auspicious year in the mid-Hudson for winter sports, for a change? Autumn certainly went out with a snowy bang, only to be followed by 60-degree temperatures (and consequently a lot of melting) on the first weekend of winter. But in the higher elevations, a decent snowpack tends to last longer, so conditions may yet be favorable to dust off your snowshoes for the New Year’s Day Snowshoe Outing to be hosted by the Minnewaska State Park Preserve on Wednesday afternoon, January 1. The two-and-a-half mile trek sets out at 1 p.m. – leaving time enough in the morning to sleep off your New Year’s Eve festivations – and is scheduled to end at 4:30, right around sunset. It follows the scenic Awosting Falls carriage road, which is mostly level except for the climb alongside the Falls themselves. The Peterskill’s 60-foot vertical plunge into a semicircular stone grotto is a magical sight in any season; but if you’ve never seen it in winter, you’re in for a special treat. Awosting Falls turns into a majestic pillar of ice with a glacier-blue heart, frozen foam piled at its base like a huge wedding cake, the walls of the amphitheatre behind it festooned with icicles that could skewer a mastodon. It’s truly something to see. Preregistration is required and early signup suggested for this popular outing. Snowshoes can be reserved for $5. Parking at Minnewaska costs $8 per car. Call (845) 255-0752 to reserve your spot and find out where to meet.

THE FLAVOR OF “COME TO THE CABARET” IS LOUCHE, with pre-21st-Amendment burlesque, peepshows, swing dancing, vaudeville and, of course, an old-fashioned ball-drop at midnight

Last year’s ball-drop festivities on Wall Street in Uptown Kingston

Retro revels Uptown Kingston hosts cabaret-themed New Year’s Eve festivities

his New Year’s Eve, Uptown Kingston once again demonstrates its remarkable new collective-mindedness, its readiness to coordinate, cohere and act like one self-aware place in the confident possession of both diversity and unity. The Uptown Kingston of my youth, in a decade not to be named, was a drab (but always pretty) place that my mother took me for school clothes: old-man slacks at London’s, pre-treated with cigar smoke, and smart, preppy shirts at Yallum’s that didn’t hang well on my Xtreme scrawn; then maybe a little candy at the Fanny Farmer’s on the corner of Wall and North Front, if I were deserving. Otherwise, there was just no “there” there, and no real reason to see one coming. Now a “there” has arrived in a big way for reasons that I will leave to the civic and socioeconomic analysts. Examples of Uptown acting like somewhere-to-be dot the calendar range from the O+ Festival to the Chronogram Block party and the Kings-

ton Film Festival. When Uptown Kingston presents “New Year’s Eve: Come to the Cabaret,” the old Stockade once again fans out in a unified front and a confederation of attractions, events and themes. In keeping with the Deus Loci, the flavor of “Come to the Cabaret” is louche, with pre21st-Amendment burlesque, peepshows, swing dancing, vaudeville and, of course, an old-fashioned ball-drop at midnight. The spacious rooms at BSP will host the lion’s share of the entertainment. Lady Schnitzel presides; the visually and sonically arresting Gypsy punk duo Frenchy and the Punk perform; Lady Alchemy and Delysia La Chatte hold court in the Burlesque Room; and Dave Leonard JTD Productions, the event front of eminent local and national deejay Dave Leonard, hosts an after-midnight dance party. Prohibition Era cocktails will be served at the Stockade Tavern on Fair Street while the extraordinary klezmer and Balkan quartet Caprice Rouge entertains. Keegan Ales slides over from its St. James Street headquarters to set up an ad hoc sideshow on North Front Street, featuring a pop-up peepshow complete with Keegan’s brews, a photo booth by Peter Demuth Photography and an antique installation by Milne’s At Home Antiques and Gallery. The cabaret theme extends to menus and drink specials all across town, including Santa Fe Uptown, Gabriel’s Café, Elephant Tapas Bar and Boitson’s Restaurant (which will have a special smokers’/ cocktail lounge on its back deck). Café East on Fair Street will be open late into the night with a special drink and food menu, and there will be late-night Italian deli items from Dominick’s Café and breakfast (or pizza) after midnight at Duo Bistro and Sissy’s Café. Silent movies will be shown at Outdated: An Antique Café. The ball drop, hosted by Baby New Year and Father Time, happens at midnight on the corner of Wall and North Front, right in front of the old Fanny Farmer. Appropriate dress is “requested,” leaving plenty to your imagination and discretion; but attendees are encouraged to get ready

for the big night with a top hat from BlueByrd’s Haberdashery or Columbia Costumes, and a custom style from LeShag salon or Pugsly’s Barber Shop. A free shuttle will run throughout the area from 6 p.m. to 2 p.m. Admission to BSP costs $25. Advance tickets are recommended. All other “Come to the Cabaret” attractions are free. Tickets are available at http://bspkingston.com. Meanwhile, on the same block, the Uptown Gallery presents a New Year’s Eve celebration. Gallery pianist Peter Cody will provide the music, with a special appearance by baritone Kerry Henderson and friends performing favorites from the world of operetta and song. Afterwards, move onto the street, join the festivities and watch the ball drop as the whole Uptown neighborhood rings in the New Year. The cost is $25 per person, or $45 for two adults. Tickets include hors d’oeuvres and a complimentary glass of champagne. For more information visit www.kingstonfestival.org. – John Burdick

High Falls hosts New Year’s Day Musical Ritual Event The Hudson Valley is a world-recognized center for music with spiritual, ritualistic and healing intent, and on New Year’s Day, Amy McTear leads an elite collective of such musicians in the sixth annual New Year’s Day Musical Ritual Event at the Epworth Center in High Falls. Many of the performers – McTear, Steve Gorn, Brian Melick and more – are masters who enjoy reputations that extend far beyond the realm/genre of the New Age; but at this performance, the emphasis is entirely on alignment, community and transcendence. “New Earth/ New Self: An Odyssey into the Heart via the Power of Collective Voice” is a spiritual musical journey through a soundscape of drums, flute, didgeridoo, symphonic gong, crystal singing bowls, guitar, bass, cello, spoken

word, song and silence. The performance happens Wednesday, January 1 from 3 to 5 p.m. at 8 Epworth Lane in High Falls. The snow date is

Walking in embrace Woodstock Tango celebrates tenth anniversary this Saturday at Mountain View Studio

“W

hen everything goes right, when everything is in place, tango can take you to places where ordinary dances cannot,” says Ilene Marder, founder of Woodstock Tango, the primary outpost for tangueros in the Hudson Valley. “Some people call it ‘the tango zone,’ some call it ‘tango bliss,’ but it is like any creative, artistic activity that you’re focusing on and concentrating on where you can get completely lost in it.

Woodstock Tango founder Ilene Marder on the dance ﬂoor

Sometimes when I’ve finished a dance with a partner, I feel like I’ve taken a journey.” And the tango that Marder refers to is Argentine tango as danced in the clubs of Buenos Aires. “It is not Dancing with the Stars or ballroom tango or staged tango,” she says. “It’s not about fancy steps and dancing for an audience; it’s about connection, musicality and walking in embrace to some of the most beautiful music in the world.” Woodstock Tango, founded by Marder in 2003, will celebrate its tenth anniversary with a gala holiday milonga (tango social dance) on Saturday, December 28 from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. at the Mountain View Studio in Woodstock, featuring live music for dancing with the Eduardo Parra Quartet, one of New York City’s most popular tango dance bands. The group includes Kingston resident Eduardo Parra on vocals and Argentineans Laura Vilche on bandoneon, Guillermo Vaisman on piano and John DeCesare on bass. While some in the tango world prefer to dance to recorded music, Marder says, “The Eduardo Parra Quartet have a strong reputation for playing dance music. In tango, the way the music is played is very important. You don’t just play one song after another; there’s a set format, and there are certain songs that you play and a way that you play them.” Between sets, Marder will deejay (as la Rubia del Norte, her alter ego), offering classic tango complemented by Latin and swing dance breaks. Since founding Woodstock Tango, Marder has added professional deejay work to her résumé – not only in the Hudson Valley but also at the tango clubs of New York City, along with engagements in Boston, Miami, Philadelphia, Chicago, Toronto and Buenos Aires, HOMEMADE INDIAN CUISINE IN A BEAUTIFUL SERENE SETTING FRESH • LOCAL • GLUTEN-FREE FINE WINE/CRAFT BEER

includes a one-hour Tango Essentials class for beginners taught by Marder at 8 p.m. So what can the complete beginner expect from the lesson? “You will learn posture, connection and walking in embrace with a partner to the music,” Marder says. The best tango dancers have the best walks, she explains, and learning to walk in embrace, intensely focused on one’s partner, is fundamental. “Learning tango isn’t like learning cha-cha, with steps; it’s not choreographed. It’s more like learning a language where the teacher can give Joseﬁna Sgaglione & Julio Bassan at Woodstock Tango you words, sentences, phrases, but the where she is one of the few non-Argenconversation is between the two people tinean deejays to be invited to play in the dancing, and you make the conversation tango clubs of the birthplace of tango.

The love for music that I’ve had all my life got transferred into “LEARNING TANGO ISN’T LIKE tango.” LEARNING CHA-CHA, WITH STEPS; Everyone thinks that it’s not choreographed.

I can walk into almost any country in the world and find a place to tango without speaking the language, and I can immediately dance with someone from another country, another language, and we can dance a (near) perfect dance.” – Sharyn Flanagan

MARTIN FREEMAN ISN’T CENTER-SCREEN so much in The Desolation of Smaug as he was in An Unexpected Journey, but he still manages to reinforce the impression that he’s the perfect man to play the befuddled-but-resourceful Mr. Baggins

The Desolation of Smaug (voiced by Benedict Cumberbatch)

Enter the dragon The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug is a handsome, headlong adventure

nevitably, the problem with movies based on literary works is that they’re not literature. Movie audiences get that concept, mostly; but still, changes made to suit the screen can stick in one’s craw when the source material is particularly beloved. For those for whom the works of J. R. R. Tolkien are the epitome of grand-scale fantasy fiction, Peter Jackson’s current three-part padded adaptation of The Hobbit thus presents a challenge. In part II, The Desolation of Smaug, these detours are many (and occasionally illogical, in terms of the larger narrative of the One Ring). But I’m pleased to report

that the adventure quotient is pumped up so high that it’s only in retrospect that the viewer has leisure to ponder Jackson’s breaches of fidelity to the text. Lest I deter any True Believers in Middle-Earth from avoiding The Desolation of Smaug through my seeming lack of enthusiasm, let me put the plug right up front: This is far-and-away the most fun, rollicking adventure movie of the year. The sword-andsorcery action almost never pauses for exposition (so if you don’t already know who Beorn is or who the Nazgul used to be or why Elves and Dwarves historically don’t get along, it really behooves you to read the book first). Onscreen, the giant spiders of Tolkien’s Mirkwood are much creepier than the ones from Rowling’s Forbidden Forest. The breathless chase sequence in which

splits up to lead the dragon on a merry chase through his labyrinthine lair under Erebor, the Lonely Mountain. Smaug looks and sounds as magnificent and terrifying as one could wish, voiced by Benedict Cumberbatch with ample draconian greed, hubris and cunning. The Desolation of Smaug is also crammed with extra battle scenes that should please action-movie fans – mainly involving Orcs, who are not nearly so ubiquitous in the book. These can get to seem a bit obligatory at times. With the exception of their leader Azog (Manu Bennett) – who’s easy to spot thanks to his prosthetic claw, replacing the hand that Dwarf prince Thorin Oakenshield (Richard Armitage) hacked off in An Unexpected Journey – the Orcs all look pretty much alike; I thought that I saw Azog’s son/lieutenant Bolg (Lawrence Makoare) killed at least three or four times. But I guess that the chaotic dishwashing scene at Bag End in the first movie must not have satisfied audiences’ lust for Dwarven mayhem. In the book, Thorin and company do m ore bickering amongst themselves than fighting foes up until the Battle of Five Armies, which won’t happen until the final installment of the movies; here, Jackson gives them plenty of hacking, slashing and dragonbaiting to

EVENT

Ashokan Farewell to 2013

Dance the year away with Jay & Molly and friends, for seven hours or four days

hanks to Hollywood, the popular mental image of the quintessential New Year’s Eve party is set in a Manhattan nightclub sometime in the 1930s or ‘40s, populated by handsome, sophisticated people all dressed to the nines, trading witty quips and swaying to the sounds of smoky jazz. Maybe it’s time for a bit of attitude adjustment regarding what exactly would constitute the ultimate fun way to ring out the old and ring in the new. Consider swapping the concept of “elegant” for “rustic” surroundings, with much more emphasis on dancing and almost none on drinking. At the Ashokan Center in Olivebridge, you get to keep the jazz/swing part of your perfect New Year’s Eve atmosphere – plus Cajun and Zydeco music, blues and oldtimey bluegrass, waltzes and contras. You can dance until the wee hours until you’ve burned off your hearty four-course dinner, and you don’t even need to rent a tux or look as sleek as Carole Lombard in a snug bias-cut evening gown. As in years past, there are two ways to approach New Year’s Eve at Ashokan. For $25 per person – $50 prepaid with dinner – you can come to the Olivebridge campus for just the music and dancing, which will run from 8 p.m. to 3 a.m. Dinner starts at 6 p.m. Cajun and Creole music will be provided by the Revelers; hosts Jay Ungar and Molly Mason with their band Swingology will play swing, blues, contras, squares and waltzes; and the Russet Trio will play contras, squares and waltzes. John Krumm and Vikki Armstrong will be the dance callers for the New Year’s Eve Bash. Or maybe, once Christmas is past, you need the total-immersion version to dance the stress out of your muscles and mind. For less than the price of that fantasy posh club date in the Big Apple, you can spend the better part of four days at Ashokan, enjoying workshops, performances, jams and dances presented by some serious pros. If you’d like to hone your social dancing chops, you can learn the Lindy, West Coast swing and slow blues moves from Cindy Overstreet and Steve Ryan. Richard Newman and Amy Burns will teach Cajun and Zydeco dance. For wannabe musicians and singers or folks who just like to listen, there will be workshops, sessions, jams and song swaps with Jay and Molly, multi-instrumentalist Peter Davis, trumpet/cornet wizard Peter Ecklund, old-time fiddler Clelia Stefanini and more. Cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and ice skating on the beautiful Ashokan campus will also be available if the weather cooperates, but you need to bring your own winter sports gear. The so-called Weekend Gala starts with check-in and dinner on Sunday afternoon, December 29 and continues through brunch and a midday Farewell Dance on Wednesday, January 1. The cost is $495 per adult with on-site accommodations, $455 if you live nearby enough to want to commute daily. Teens age 13 to 19 can come along for $320, children age 5 to 12 for $220 and kids under age 5 get in free. Three meals and a late-night snack will be served on each full day. Accommodations are in camp-style cabins, so you’ll need to bring a sleeping bag or sheets and a pillowcase if you’re staying over; a pillow and blanket are provided. No reservations are required if you’re only showing up for the music and dancing on New Year’s Eve, but if you’re arriving for dinner or want the full Music & Dance Camp experience, you need to make a reservation and at least a deposit. To reserve

do. Even Bombur (Stephen Hunter), the lazy, obese Dwarf whom Tolkien makes the butt of many a joke, gets to be spectacularly badass in Desolation, taking out scores of Orcs with his runaway barrel. When it comes to cinematography and art direction, once again Peter Jackson’s team never lets the viewer down. Though Tolkien’s geography is a bit compressed to keep the pacing brisk – the homelandrecapturing party led by Thorin never actually has to cross the wasteland that gives the second Hobbit film its title, since the Lonely Mountain is depicted as rising right up out of the shores of the Long Lake – Smaug’s lair, Mirkwood, the Elvenking’s halls and especially Laketown are all as handsomely detailed and satisfyingly evocative as the sets in The Lord of the Rings. The Dwarves’ stealthy sojourn in Laketown is also an excuse to introduce the reliably over-the-top Stephen Fry in a fine scenery-chewing turn as the burgon-stilts’ corrupt and cowardly Master.

For all its relentless action, The Desolation of Smaug does manage to incorporate frequent flashes of humor, mostly as it represents Dwarven swashbuckling from the prosaic point of view of a country-gentleman Hobbit. A rather silly interspecies romantic triangle is introduced into the story, partly to enable the return of teen heartthrob Orlando Bloom in the role of Thranduil’s son Legolas. His performance here confirms past suspicions that Bloom is really no great shakes as an actor, but there’s nobody who looks better kicking Orc butt; some of his acrobatics are every bit as wild and funny as his mumak-surfing sequence in The Return of the King. What with all the running to and fro, Martin Freeman isn’t center-screen so much in The Desolation of Smaug as he was in An Unexpected Journey, but he still manages to reinforce the impression that he’s the perfect man to play the befuddled-but-resourceful Mr. Baggins. He does show some character growth, rising

to the occasion in unexpected ways even as he begins to experience intimations of the seductive evil of the Ring. Practical, down-to-earth Bilbo turns out to have more courage in one hairy toe than Thorin’s quarreling, treasure-seeking road company, and enough folklore savvy to know how best to talk to a dragon. His verbal sparring with Smaug makes for some of the most enjoyable moments in the movie, if not the most hyperkinetic.

All in all, I’m joining the critical consensus: Though it’s by no means entirely what Tolkien had in mind, The Desolation of Smaug is a far superior cinematic experience to the first installment of The Hobbit. It leaves Bilbo with more than one controversy-provoking bit of bling in his pockets, and the viewer eager to find out what happens next – even if, for the most part, we already know. – Frances Marion Platt

The philosophy is different as well: “Most parenting programs focus on child development and disciplinary techniques, whereas the Parenting Journey series focuses on the parent in relationship to their children and to others... The Parenting Journey focuses on adult development.”

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

Forbidden fruit Hollies need separate male and female plants to bear berries

he problem is obvious: no sex. No sex, no berries. Oh, did I mention that I’m writing about hollies, my hollies? Now, after a number of years, the plants have grown lush with spiny forest-green leaves – but no red berries. A holly berry, like any other fruit, is a mature ovary, which is a home for a seed or seeds. Seeds are what stimulate development of a fruit, but seeds themselves usually can’t get started without sex. Sex happens in plants when male pollen lands on the female part of a flower, called the stigma, and then grows a pollen tube down the style, which is attached to the stigma, to reach and fertilize an egg. The product of successful pollination and fertilization is a seed, the development of which induces the surrounding floral part to swell to become a fruit. Why all this concern with holly’s sex life? After all, I don’t give sex a second thought when growing tomatoes. I plant whatever varieties I want and then reap plenty of swollen ovaries…er, fruits…as well as, incidentally, seeds. Holly is special because its pollen is borne on flowers that are strictly male and

its eggs are contained within flowers that are strictly female. Each tomato flower, in contrast, is botanically “perfect,” with both male and female parts, so can take care of itself, sexually speaking. Similarly self-sufficient are rose flowers, peach flowers, sunflowers and the blossoms of many other plants. Holly is not alone in having single-sex (botanically, “imperfect”) flowers. Many nut trees, for example, share this trait. But holly goes one step further sexually, with whole plants being either male or female: a trait shared by ash and persimmon trees, among others. The long and the short of it is that I need an all-male holly tree or bush if I’m going to deck my halls with (berried) boughs of holly from my all-female holly tree or bush. A male plant, all leaves and no berries, is not as showy as a female, so it’s fortunate that a single male can sire a half-dozen or so females. Adding to their sex problems – or rather, our problems with their sex life – hollies are not all that promiscuous. A few different species supply us with berried boughs, notably American holly, English holly and Meserve holly; but generally, each keeps

fidelity to its own species. (An exception is that English holly can pollinate Meserve holly, which is a hybrid offspring of the English species.) Further compounding hollies’ sex problems, some males within a species cannot even adequately pollinate some females within the same species because their bloom times do not overlap. Breeders have come up with a number of virile male varieties whose genders are obvious from their names: Blue Prince and Blue Boy Meserve hollies and Jersey Knight American holly are examples. These males, as you might guess, are particularly good mates for the varieties named, respectively, Blue Princess, Blue Girl and Jersey Princess. The hollies that I planted were Meserve hollies. I’m pretty sure that I planted a suitable male for my five fe-

males, with the male sufficiently close to do their thing with the females. So, why no berries? One possibility is that my hollies had sex, but that late frosts caused fertilized flowers to abort. But every year? My hollies have never sported berries. One hundred percent frost damage every year is unlikely, and especially so this past spring. The nursery could have mislabeled its plants. The only way to sex the plants is to peer closely at the small flowers early next May and look for those with male or female flower parts. I’ll do that. Sex is no problem for my jasmine (Jasminium officinale) plant; its problem is sexuality. The plant lacks flowers, and flowers are all that I ask for from this plant. This plant, commonly known as poet’s jasmine, is

NIGHT SKY

Rhythms of 2014 Cool sky stuff is coming

im Metzner’s Pulse of the Planet is a syndicated radio show that explores nature’s rhythms. Like beating hearts or chirping crickets, the night sky also displays a cadence – many of them, actually. For example, olden observers noted how the Sun’s midday height – at its absolute lowest this past week – alters in an annual cycle that doesn’t vary by even a minute. The start of a new year marks the most appropriate time to preview 2014’s greatest sky rhythms. The Moon’s oval path carries it closer and farther, while that orbit itself changes shape. Once yearly it must arrive at its nearest point to Earth. In 2014, this happens on the opening day: on Wednesday! This is the same day that it’s new, and hence invisible. Expect extraordinary tides. But hold everything: The Moon has a second close 2014 approach, which is even more interesting. This one, on August 10, happens at the exact same hour that the Moon is full. And since this perigee is a mere 17 miles farther than the January 1 event, it will create equally dramatic tides. This is the year’s biggest visible Moon. And that’s still not the best thing that the Moon does in 2014. On Tax Day, April 15, and again on October 8, it plunges fully into Earth’s shadow to create total lunar eclipses. Both are visible from here. When do we get two red total eclipses in a single year? Never! Well, almost: This is the first since 2003. The Maya would have flipped. Imagine: Two chances to sacrifice their most annoying tribal members. Our region also gets a partial solar eclipse at sunset on October 23. Use shade 14 welders’ goggles. I hope that you’re writing this all down. The Mayas’ favorite entity would have disappointed them this year, a bummer ranking only slightly lower than having their ruler kidnapped by the Spanish. Their beloved Venus, whose importance was equivalent to our own Philly cheese steak, has a dreadful year. January opens with the Evening Star very low; then it promptly vanishes into the

supposed to sport oodles of deliciously fragrant starry white blossoms about now. (Now that I think of it, perhaps the hollies have never flowered: no flowers, no sex, no berries.) Like amaryllis, Christmas cactus and many other winter-flowering plants, poet’s jasmine initiates flowerbuds in response to changing conditions such as exist in late summer and early fall – to wit: shortening days, cooler temperatures and/ or, in some regions, drier weather. I’ve tried them all with my poet’s jasmine, and every year about midwinter, buds begin growth on the plant that keep stretching out into lanky, twisting shoots that try to grab onto whatever they can twist around. But no sign of flowers or flowerbuds.

It’s time to threaten the plant. No flowers this winter and into the compost you go, my little jasmine. (I’ve also tried threatening in previous year, to no avail.) – Lee Reich

solar glare. After its January 11 inferior conjunction, it soon reappears as a morning star. But a Venus springtime morning apparition is always a miserably low pattern. And the rest of the year finds it pathetically horizon-hugging until it wimps its way behind the Sun around Halloween, putting it out of its misery. Mars is a different story. The Red Planet boasts a semiannual pattern, with good years alternating with bad. This is a good one. At its closest approach on April 14, Mars shines at a brilliant magnitude -1.3: its best since 2007. Floating in Virgo, it dramatically hovers near the Moon on the 13th and 14th. True, it’ll appear 50 percent bigger and brighter four years from now. But then it’ll be super-low, so you can’t have everything. When the gossip turns to celestial patterns, nothing beats Jupiter. It advances one zodiac constellation annually. Jupiter is astronomy made simple. This year it hits the ground running. It’s already dazzling, reaches its nearest and brightest on January 5 and remains striking through the spring. In Gemini, Jupiter stands above Orion all night long. Nothing except the Moon shines more brightly at midnight. Saturn’s rhythm has it reaching its near point two weeks later each year. Its 2014 opposition is excellent, and it will be wonderful throughout the spring. The rings now slant in such an exposed “open” orientation that they extend clear around the planet, virtually unblocked. Their high reflectivity makes this Saturn’s brightest appearance since 2007. (That year keeps popping up here. My vote for 2007’s most memorable news story: Australia’s storefront Santas were ordered to stop saying “Ho-ho-ho” and instead told to chant “Ha-ha-ha.” I’m not making this up.) Celestial rhythms may be epic, but it’s still a funny old universe. – Bob Berman Want to know more?

We are two little kittens who never had any mittens and are looking for a fun and loving home to grow up in. We are about 12-weeks old and are sister and brother. We have been for our well-baby checkups and said to be in perfect health. We had our ﬁrst kitten vaccines (ouch!) and we are litter trained. We each have one blue eye and one yellow eye, which make us very special indeed. We were found on a street in Kingston three weeks ago and are staying in a foster home until you take us to our forever home. We will be a little shy to meet you at ﬁrst because we don’t know very many humans. Can we live with you? We promise to be good and love you forever and always.

PEACHES

Peaches is approximately one year old. She is spayed, health tested, up to date with shots, litter box trained, does beautifully with other cats and is patiently waiting for her forever home and family.Â Peaches was abandoned while pregnant with six kittens. Â She was taken in by our rescue group and given a wonderful foster home where she birthed andÂ cared for her babies. Â Fast forward a few months. All her kittens have been adopted and Peaches is living in a wonderful new foster home while waiting to be somebodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s loving cat.Â She is sweet, quiet and gentle. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shy around strangers but will come out of her shell once she is settled. Â Peaches needs a person or family who understands the nature of a shy cat who has had a very hard start in her short life.Â Please call (845) 679-6070 if you would like to hear more about and possibly meet Peaches.
