MOUNTAIN LAUREL IS COMING AND THE RIDGE IS

ALMANAC WEEKLY

June 8, 2017

Signature shrub of the Shawangunks Mountain laurel is coming & the Ridge is set to pop

J

une is here, and in the Shawangunks, that means that mountain laurel is bustin’ out all over. Though peak bloom time varies with elevation and shade, your window for viewing the laurel in its full pink-and-white glory only lasts a few weeks. By the first day of summer, most of the blossoms will be down, so you might want to head out for a laurel trek soon.

Minnewaska S t a t e Pa r k , Sam's Point and the Mohonk Mountain House and Preserve are some of the most hospitable environments in the world for this ericaceous shrub, which is rather picky about where it grows.

Like other members of the heath family – rhododendron, azalea, blueberry, huckleberry, heather – it likes highly acidic soil, preferably well-drained. But its roots are shallow, so the soil doesn’t

have to be deep. That’s good for hikers in these parts, because it means that the rare ridgetop pine-barren habitat that induced the Nature Conservancy to name the Gunks one of the “Earth’s Last Great Places” is amenable to laurel growth – especially where there’s some shade.

Mountain laurel is cultivated as an ornamental shrub as well, and it’s easy to see why. Its long, leathery darkgreen leaves persist through t h e w i n t e r, looking rather handsome and providing cover for birds and small wildlife.

The entire plant contains toxins, so deer only browse on the leaves when there’s nothing else left to eat. But it’s the tiny cup-shaped blossoms that emerge in late spring that give the plant most of its eye appeal.

Ranging in color from white to pale pink to magenta, patterned with purple spots, they are exquisitely formed, resembling

The anthers of mountain laurel blossoms are ingeniously spring-loaded like miniature catapults, explosively releasing their pollen whenever an insect alights.

Like other members of the heath family – rhododendron, azalea, blueberry, huckleberry, heather – mountain laurel likes highly acidic soil, preferably well-drained. But its roots are shallow, so the soil doesn’t have to be deep. That’s good for hikers in these parts, because it means that the rare ridgetop pine-barren habitat that induced the Nature Conservancy to name the Gunks one of the “Earth's Last Great Places” is most amenable to laurel growth.

tiny umbrellas with prominent ribs. The anthers of laurel blossoms are ingeniously spring-loaded like miniature catapults, explosively releasing their pollen whenever an insect alights.

Places where mountain laurel grows most densely are colloquially known as “laurel hells.” If you’ve ever tried to take a shortcut by bushwhacking through one, especially wearing shorts, you know why. These jungly stands can become monocultures of thickly entwined bush that do not take kindly to intrusion and will leave the most determined covered in scratches, even though they don’t bear thorns.

Typical height for laurel shrubs usually ranges from two to eight feet or so; but left undisturbed in a compatible habitat, they can grow to twice or thrice the height of a human adult. An easily accessed place to see some big ones – quite impressive when loaded with bloom – is the trail that turns off to the left just beyond the parking-lot bollards at the beginning of the carriage trail to Lake Awosting. Skinny-dippers go straight downhill on this trail to head to Dallas Pool (a/k/a Secret Spot, though it’s well-known and no longer very private), but there’s a fork off to the right that more

or less parallels the carriage road for a mile or so before rejoining it. That trail will reward the June visitor with a great bounty of laurel-viewing without having to walk for hours or traverse difficult terrain. And if you want to experience a laurel hell firsthand, all you need to do is plunge into the bushes and head toward the stream.

If you’d prefer to meander through the laurel canyons in the company of a naturalist, you might want to sign up for the Beacon Hill Mountain Laurel Walk scheduled for this Sunday morning, June 11. Meet at the Minnewaska Nature Center, near the Lake Minnewaska Parking Lot, at 10:30 a.m. for a two-hour guided tour led by environmental educator Laura Conner.

About two miles in length, the Beacon Hill loop is a mostly level, highly scenic path that affords outstanding views of the Clove and the dramatic rock outcroppings of Dickie Barre (a/k/a Lost City), as well as varied plant life.

Preregistration is a good idea; call (845) 255-0752. Or simply head up the Ridge at your leisure any nice day during the next couple of weeks. Laurel blossom sightings are just about guaranteed.

Now in its 22nd year, the Bounty of the Hudson Wine & Food Festival is an annual wingding jointly sponsored by the 15 area wineries that make up the Shawangunk Wine Trail, kicking off the summer grape escape with a celebration pairing food and winetastings. In years past the event was hosted by different participating vineyards in rotation, but the Festival coming up next weekend is a bit different: It’ll take place on neutral ground, at the Ulster County Fairgrounds.

Samples of locally made chocolates and cheeses will be available to clear your palate in between sips. The vendor lineup also includes an array of food trucks and booths, plus purveyors of prepared foods and handicrafts at the Bounty Marketplace. There will be live music all weekend as well: Kayla Rae on Saturday and Lara Hope and the Ark-Tones on Sunday.

Bounty of the Hudson goes on from 12 noon to 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, June 10 and 11. A one-day tasting ticket, good for either Saturday or Sunday, costs $30 in advance or $40 at the gate; designated driver tickets go for $10 in advance, $15 at the gate. Parking is free.

Attendees must be age 21 or over, and pets will not be admitted.

THEATER

Noises Off at Shadowland

N

ew York Times theater critic Frank Rich called Michael Frayn’s 1982 farce Noises Off “the funniest play written in my lifetime.” A play-within-a-play about an increasingly dysfunctional theatrical troupe, viewed from backstage, it’s the apotheosis of the door-slammer comedy genre. It’s hard to think of a better way to lift one’s spirits right about now than to attend the production opening this weekend at Ellenville’s Shadowland Stages.

Comedies will dominate Shadowland’s 2017 summer lineup, as teacher/playwright/arts administrator Bradley Diuguid – a Monticello native and product of SUNY-New Paltz’s Theatre Arts program – steps into the role of executive managing director that was vacated by the sudden death last year of Jon Wojciechowski. The season will continue with Gino Dilorio’s The Jag, Larry Shue’s The Foreigner, Joe Kinosian and Kellen Blair’s Murder for Two, David Lindsay-Abaire’s Ripcord and Ayad Akhtar’s Disgraced.

Noises Off will run Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. ($39) and Sundays at 2 p.m. ($34) through June 25. To reserve your seat or obtain more information, call the box office at (845) 647-5511 or visit www.shadowlandtheatre.org. Shadowland is located at 157 Canal Street in Ellenville.

16 and way, way above.” The first film screens at 7:30 p.m.

The showcase of short films is cosponsored by Ulster County Tourism, the Rosendale Theatre and Asbury Shorts USA. Writer, storyteller and actor Doug Motel will serve as the show’s guest host.

Asbury Shorts combines awardwinning films from past years with new international festival honorees, creating a rare opportunity for audiences to see world-class short films on a real cinema screen rather than on YouTube, smartphones or computers. Academy Award-nominated director Jason Reitman (Juno, Up in the Air, Thank You for Smoking and Young Adult) calls Asbury Shorts “the best short film show I’ve ever seen.”

The evening features the best in comedy, drama and animation. Highlights of the June 10 showcase include Reaching Home, a new drama from filmmaker Kenneth Murphy, in which a recent widow has to make tough decisions with her family while dealing with grief; The Lunch Date, an Academy Award-winner for Best Live Action Short Film, directed by Adam Davidson, now a prolific television director; and Dad in Mum, a global festival favorite from director Fabrice Bracq of France, in which two very young girls are listening to some strange sounds

they hear emanating from their parents’ bedroom in the middle of the night.

The Rosendale Theatre is located at 408 Main Street in Rosendale. General admission tickets cost $12 and $10, available at www.brownpapertickets.com/ event/2949770. For more information, call (845) 658-8989.

The event is the first in a “Learning in the Garden” series to take place at the xeriscape garden on the third Saturday of each month from June through October.

Each event will begin at 10 a.m. and go on rain or shine. The July 15 topic will be “Building a Bug Hotel,” followed by “Wildlife-Proofing your Garden” on August 19. The annual Master Gardener Plant Sale will be the focus on September 16 from 10 a.m. to noon, and October will bring “Putting Your Tools Away the Right Way.” For more information, contact Master Gardener Program coordinator Dona Crawford at (845) 340-3990, extension 335, or e-mail dm282@cornell.edu.

The 1915 lighthouse, located at the mouth of Rondout Creek, actually was the third lighthouse on the site; the first wooden structure was built in 1837, followed by the bluestone lighthouse in 1867 (part of the foundation can still be seen), then the third lighthouse built in 1913 and occupied by 1915. By 1954, automation of the lighthouse meant there was no longer a need for a lighthousekeeper, but the light is still operational.

Tour tickets may be purchased in the museum store. The cost is $20 for adults, $12 for children under age 12, $17 for HRMM members and $11 for HRMM members’ children under age 12. Kids under age four are admitted free, but must be accompanied by an adult. The fee also includes admission to the museum.

Backless shoes or high heels should not be worn. Visitors should note that there are no bathroom facilities at the Rondout Lighthouse and it is not handicappedaccessible.

(Freak) Flag Day at Basilica Hudson this Saturday Basilica Hudson will offer the inclusive after-dark (Freak) Flag Day party on Saturday, June 10. Cloaked by night and surrounded by colorful explosions, Basilica Hudson’s (Freak) Flag Day is planned as a “freakier” counterpart to the City of Hudson’s Flag Day festivities, with performances and dancing into the early morning.

The evening kicks off at sundown with the best seat in town for Hudson’s spectacular fireworks display – one of the largest in the Hudson Valley – launched from Basilica Hudson’s parking lot. The freaky festivities kick off from there, with free-entry visual art from 6 p.m. on and a dark-wave electronic Goth rave starting at 8 p.m.

Basilica’s Back Gallery will host the opening of “Local Character,” the culmination of painter Jim Krewson’s May artist-in-residency, featuring realist portraits of Hudsonites. The exhibition expands on the theme of Basilica Hudson’s 2017 Back Gallery program by exploring Hudson and the eclectic present and past of the river city.

On (Freak) Flag Day only, the work of critically acclaimed Hudson-based artist Dave Cole will be on display in the Main Hall. Flags of the World, a patchwork quilt of an American flag fabricated to the US standard proportions, is comprised entirely of an official United Nations Flags of the World set. Also on Basilica grounds for that day only will be Lily Dale, a virtual reality experience in the Ford Econoline shuttle bus Dream Wanderer, created by New York artist duo Flatsitter.

(Freak) Flag Day-goers will be invited to roam the grounds of Basilica Hudson, taking in Kris Perry’s monumental kinetic sculpture Revolution, which stands framed by the majestic Catskill Mountain sunset as backdrop. As nighttime falls on (Freak) Flag Day, there will be a Gothic electronic rave set by SEVEN T*TS, Alger Moy, deejays Danny Cash and Lavish and SVB in Basilica’s West Wing.

“We are excited to participate in the dialogue of Hudson pride traditions in our own Basilica way,” says director Melissa

Auf der Maur. “There has been a great response to past incarnations of this event, by locals and visitors alike, celebrating the dynamic creative community in this region.”

Tickets for the (Freak) Flag Day dance party are available at the door. The cost is $5. More information is available at http://basilicahudson.org.

Keith Richards’ stuff to be auctioned off in Hudson Mention an auction of items belonging to rock ‘n’ roll legends, and images of guitars come to mind. Just recently Jerry Garcia’s “Wolf ” guitar sold at auction for a record-breaking $1.9 million (proceeds went to the Southern Poverty Law Center, with an anonymous donor making a matching donation). Later this month, an auction of items belonging to another rock legend will come to the Hudson Valley, but don’t expect a focus on instruments; this one’s about art and antiques.

The Stair Galleries at 549 Warren Street in Hudson will hold an auction on Saturday, June 24 at 11 a.m. of items from the Manhattan apartment of Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards and his wife, model Patti Hansen. Proceeds from “The Collection of Keith & Patti Richards” will benefit the Connecticut-based autism charity SPHERE and the Prospector Theater in Ridgefield. Check out the items that will be auctioned off online at www.stairgalleries.com/auctions/june24-2017-2 or in person from June 10 up to the auction (times and dates are on the website – basically every day at different times).

According to the auctioneers, the items will reflect Patti Richards’ view of the couple’s apartment as a “European jewel box, filled with Italian, French and English furniture, decorations and paintings.

Patti was inspired by an elaborate pair of Italian rococo-style giltwood headboards upholstered in a deep cobalt blue silk velvet fit for a grand Roman Palazzo. She and her designer started with the deep wall colors and spent months combing antique shops on the East Coast and in London, finding the right piece for each room.”

Some of the highlights? An Italian rococo giltwood console, a Louis XV giltwood tabouret, an English silver-plated flatware service by Walker and Hall of Sheffield, an unusual Italian orange glass decanter by Paolo Venini, a set of eight Waterford crystal wineglasses and two

Flemish tapestry pillows. The Edwardian painted satinwood four-poster bed will be sold along with a Flemish Baroque walnut parquetry cabinet. A small selection of antiques and tabletop items from the Richards’ Connecticut home will also be included in the sale.

Cider Week tastings throughout region The appetite for hard cider in our region is not only not abating with time, it’s growing – as is the number of craft-beverage producers willing and able to provide the product. The recently formed New York Cider Association is off and running in its mission to support cidermakers and to position New York State as a world-class cider-producing region; and the Cold Spring-based Glynwood that supports farm enterprises is currently fully immersed in its Cider Project, ensuring the viability of Hudson Valley apple orchards for years to come.

New York State is the nation’s secondlargest apple producer, but most of its 55,000 apple-growing acres are dedicated to apple varieties for eating, Glynwood reps say. Demand for regionally grown

cider-specific apples is currently bigger than the supply, so they’re working on helping growers expand their capacity for production of a diversity of apples grown specifically for hard cider, which will result in more interesting and complex beverages.

The seventh annual Cider Week Hudson Valley kicks off on Friday, June 9 and runs for 10 days, with most of the 24 separate tasting events happening in the midHudson region. The list includes the third annual Cider Market & Tasting on New Paltz’s Historic Huguenot Street on Saturday, June 10 from noon to 4 p.m.; a Doc’s Hard Cider tasting at the Dutch Ale House in Saugerties on Wednesday, June 14 from 6 to 8 p.m.; and a hard-cider tasting party with pig roast at the bucolic setting of Twin Star Orchards in New Paltz on Sunday, June 18 from noon to 5 p.m.

And something new this year: “Destination Cider,” limited-edition ciders made with 100 percent New York State apples, available only on the farms where the apples are produced. These specialty farm- and orchard-based beverages will not be available at any other venue during Cider Week.

say, “Take my money.� But why don’t I love this movie more?

Though not a true comic-book geek, surely I’m an obvious part of the target audience for this film. My introduction to Wonder Woman on the page happened during the so-called Golden Age of DC Comics, before the world-weariness of Marvel had supplanted it in the hearts of young Americans. I was a tomboy who found dolls and tea parties insufferably boring. So I hung out with boys and climbed trees. We ran around our back yards knocking each other down and getting dirty. Together we would read the latest issue of Justice League of America and act it out. I was always Wonder Woman. I wanted to be her.

Then I learned to read novels, and quickly lost interest in the comic-book

universe. Stories relying on that many pictures were for people with limited imaginations, thought mini-snob me.

So I missed all her subsequent costume changes, retcons and parallel Earths. By the time Lynda Carter came along, I was looking down my nose at TV as well. But Wonder Woman as a proto-feminist icon still burned in my heart; and when Gloria Steinem put her on the cover of an early issue of Ms. magazine in the 1970s, it was my Boomer generation that she was reeling in with that glowing golden lasso.

I really should love this movie more. It’s going to thrill and inspire a generation of young girls, and nudge their male counterparts into presuming that the women in their lives should and will be powerful and ethical, efficient and compassionate. This is all excellent news.

HISTORY

The Wonder Woman of working women: West Park’s Hilda Worthington Smith

W

hile the rest of the country will be celebrating the centennial of the 19th Amendment to the US Constitution in 2020, New York is ahead of the national curve as usual. This state gave women the vote in 1917, so this year is our opportunity to remind people of the power of the ballot and the history of the suffrage struggle.

The Klyne Esopus Museum is already on that bandwagon, foreshadowing its summer exhibition with an April talk by Evan Pritchard about indigenous women of the Hudson Valley. And this past Sunday, “Celebrating the Exceptional Women of Esopus” opened to the public at the Ulster Park museum.

Two of the three famous female Esopians spotlighted in the new exhibit are very well-known indeed: liberated slave/ abolitionist/suffragist/orator Sojourner Truth and Frances Xavier Cabrini, founder of the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the first (naturalized) American citizen to be canonized as a saint by the Roman Catholic Church.

But the third is a distinguished 20thcentury educator whose name seems to be in danger of being lost to the tides of history. Perhaps this exhibition will help to exhume Hilda Worthington Smith’s name from undeserved obscurity.

Part of the problem, in trying to find out more about this fascinating woman, is that her list of titles and government agency affiliations during the New Deal quickly begins to read like a dusty catalogue of now-defunct bureaucracies: first director of the Affiliated Schools for Workers (later known as the American Labor Education Service) specialist in Workers’ Education for the Federal Emergency Relief Administration director of the Workers’ Service Program for the Works Progress Administration (WPA) consultant in labor education to the Roosevelt administration chief of the Project Services Section of the federal Public Housing Authority chair of the National Committee for the Extension of Labor Education member of the New York State Adult Education Bureau consultant for the Connecticut State Commission for Services to Elderly Persons consultant for the Training Division of the Community Action Program of the Office of Economic Opportunity Eyes glazing over yet? And that’s just the posts that Smith held later in her long life (1888-1984).

Born in New York City to a nouveau-riche family (her father was a successful inventor), Hilda Worthington Smith (known to all as Jane) attended Bryn Mawr, surrounded by girls from “old money” backgrounds. From 1919 to 1921 she was first Acting Dean and then Dean of Bryn Mawr College, directing academic advising and health services as well as supervising classes for black service workers at the college. At some point she decided to put her fortune and her excellent education to practical use by running a summer training program in the liberal arts for disadvantaged girls: factory and millworkers, primarily, from all over the US, both urban and rural, and of varied ethnicities. That experiment, the Bryn Mawr Summer Institute for Women Workers in Industry, was established in 1921 and flourished on that campus until 1938, bringing Smith into the circle of Eleanor Roosevelt and inspiring copycat programs elsewhere in America and around the globe.

Economic theory and activist practice were prominent components of the summer

theater feeling as pumped as I should have been. It’s a well-made film, overall; Gal Gadot is just about perfect in the title role, and Chris Pine as Steve Trevor holds up his end of the romantic angle with persuasively raffish charm. An actor very skilled at portraying scenery-chewing nasty characters gets to be the Big Bad in the end. The many, many fight scenes are beautifully choreographed (even if we do sit there snickering over the fact that all the German machine-gunners aim all their bullets only at the heroine’s magic shield and not her superlong unprotected legs). The World War II-era scenery, props and costumes are fabulous.

The screenplay is just not that wellwritten – much of the dialogue sounds “fraught” in the way that comic-book speech bubbles so often are – and too earnest by half. I’ve been spoiled by the light touch given to characters like Tony Stark and Bruce Banner in the Marvel cinematic universe, I guess. It’s tantalizing to ponder how this movie might have been different, atmospherically, if Joss Whedon had remained at the helm, as he was a decade ago. But in the DC universe, good is good and evil is evil; with the exception of

Batman, you don’t find much in the way of gray characters.

That’s not to say that there isn’t any humor in Wonder Woman. The trouble is that our heroine is forced by her sheltered upbringing among Amazons, cut off from the corrupted world of men, to play the straight woman (in the sense of “straight man”): sort of a distaff Captain America role, square and squeaky-clean. Meanwhile Steve and his multiethnic bomber crew of disreputable spy cronies – Sameer (Saïd Taghmaoui), Charlie (Ewen Bremner) and Chief (Eugene Brave Rock) – and his aide Etta Candy (Lucy Davis, who seems to have wandered in from Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them) get all the funny bits. Diana’s naïveté serves as their foil, and though her intelligence shines through, along with her commitment to ending war, she’s sorely lacking for witty repartee. This origin story being largely about her culture shock upon emergence into the real world (think Madison in Splash, with superpowers), perhaps the inevitable sequel(s) will give the character more to do in the way of verbal give-and-take.

My other main quibble is that as a

Social work pioneer Hilda Worthington Smith was, among many things, the director of the Summer School for Women Workers at Bryn Mawr College. The school was the subject of the documentary by Rita Heller titiled The Women of Summer. You can view the film at: https://archive.org/details/thewomenofsummer. After the trustees of Bryn Mawr were pressured to ditch the “radical” summer school, Smith relocated the program to her family compound in West Park and continued to run it during the summers as the Hudson Shore Labor School.

students’ education, and beginning with the Sacco & Vanzetti trials, Smith’s protégés soon became embroiled in Depression-era labor disputes and political protests. They agitated for better working conditions for service workers – mostly people of color – on the campus itself. But as Stalin rose to power in Russia, the very phrase “workers’ education” that encapsulated Jane’s philosophy became synonymous in the public mind with the Communist Party. Thus Bryn Mawr trustees came under pressure from wealthy alumni and philanthropists to ditch the “radical” summer school.

So Smith relocated the program to her family compound in West Park and continued to run it during the summers as the Hudson Shore Labor School. She was also recruited by the First Lady to head up the Camp She-She-She program, a WPA initiative to involve women in outdoor national service analogous to the all-male Civilian Conservation Corps. That effort quickly sputtered out, but Smith went on to incorporate her area of expertise into federal government programs at many levels. Vice president Hubert H. Humphrey was among the alumni of a work program for unemployed teachers that she ran under FDR. Perhaps most importantly, many of the poor women who attended Smith’s summer programs went back to their own communities, became labor organizers and social workers and founded their own schools, including one in the Philippines. It’s a model of women empowering women reflected today in the international microlending movement.

Jane was certainly ahead of her time, and her story ought to be part of the history curricula in Hudson Valley schools along with those of other illustrious local women.

Intrigued? Find out more by visiting the Klyne Esopus Museum, located at 746 Broadway (Route 9W) in Ulster Park. “Celebrating the Exceptional Women of Esopus” will be on view through Columbus Day weekend, open to the public from 1 to 4 p.m. on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays.

superhero, Wonder Woman is just too ridiculously over-superpowered and invulnerable – a standard complaint among fandom of the comics version as well. On paper, she does have her equivalent of Kryptonite; but it’s a bit controversial, evoking S&M/B&D, and tricky to bring to the screen in a PG context. If only a god or fellow demigod can give her much of a fight, how will future directors find Diana worthy antagonists? A mere crime boss like the Joker wouldn’t have a prayer. Maybe that’s why movie audiences keep coming back for the all-too-human Batman through iterations great and lousy.

Maybe my lack of enthusiasm is just another symptom of women having to do things twice as well as men, backwards

and in high heels, in order to be perceived as half as competent. I wanted Wonder Woman to be better than it is. It’s still pretty damned exciting. Go see it by all means, and if you or your friends have daughters, bring them along.

MUSIC Clearwater Festival returns to Croton Point next weekend after one-year hiatus The Clearwater Festival took a year off in 2016 to deal with some “financial and leadership issues,” the euphemisms go; but this exemplary music festival with the larger social agenda is back in 2017 and armed for bear. Always misperceived as primarily a doctrinal folk and bluegrass festival because of its tight association with the late and legendary Peter Seeger, Clearwater hasn’t actually fit that particular description for many years. It is, in fact, one of the most inclusively curated and globally sourced festivals anywhere. It is also completely unintimidated by drums and guitar amplifiers.

I love this year’s lineup. You’ve got genredefying rock royalty in Richard Thompson and Los Lobos. You’ve got a generational craftsman and a New Wave icon in Nick Lowe. Next-gen progressive folksters such as Lake Street Dive, Josh Ritter and Alejandro Escoveda abound. The old masters are vibrantly represented, from Arlo Guthrie, Tom Chapin, Tom Paxton and David Amram to the great rural blues heir Josh White, Jr. The local resident professional scene – Larry Campbell and Theresa Williams, Jay Ungar & Molly Mason – speak to the Clearwater’s sense of the deus loci.

As in other years, the Clearwater lineup is impossibly deep. You really have to go the website to grasp the scope of it. And of course, this has always been one of the least hedonistic and most goal-oriented of all festivals as well, so the non-music and family-friendly offerings are abundant.

Ticketing and camping packages are as complicated as they need to be.

Clearwater goes down at Croton Point Park in Croton-on-Hudson on Saturday and Sunday, June 17 and 18. For tickets and complete information, visit www. clearwaterfestival.org.

The three biggest names at Hunter Mountain's Taste of Country Festival on June 9 through 11 are the Georgia-born genuine country megastar Jason Aldean, the substantive “bad girl” singer/songwriter Miranda Lambert and the successful college quarterback Sam Hunt.

MUSIC

TASTE OF COUNTRY FESTIVAL AT HUNTER

C

onsidering the level of talent it books and the number of people it draws, Hunter Mountain’s fifth annual Taste of Country Festival goes down rather quietly, pretty much invisibly in the milieu of the mid-Hudson Valley music scene. The same can’t be said of Mountain Jam or Clearwater or Grey Fox, or heck, even Oktoberfest. Taste of Country is the region’s secret little alternative universe. And it is hopping as all get-out.

The festival takes over the hills of Hunter from June 9 through 11. And this is no county fair lineup, people. Hell, even I have heard of many of the headliners! Like Mountain Jam on the same slopes, the 2017 lineup is huge at the top and quite firm in the middle. The three biggest names are the Georgia-born genuine country megastar Jason Aldean, who edges out the substantive “bad girl” singer/songwriter Miranda Lambert and the successful college quarterback Sam Hunt for toppermost top billing. Other notables include Kip Young, Chris Moore, Maren Morris and Tyler Farr.

Ticketing and camping options are as various and as complex as at any other major festival. The website at http:// tasteofcountryfestival.com does a pretty good job with the breakdown. Hunter Mountain is located at 64 Klein Avenue in Hunter.

Taste of Country, rather refreshingly, is a simple two-stage festival without a lot of side attractions and act overload. I am guessing also that it won’t culminate in a late-night electro/trance afterparty. Nice.

tion into a safe, roots-leaning classic rock festival with an invigorated interest in the healthy talent resources of its own Hudson Valley.

Look at the headlining developments in recent years to really see the arc of the trend: Robert Plant and the Black Keys; Wilco and Beck; fewer than eight hours of Warren Haynes guitar solos; no additional representatives of the Dead family. This year’s headiest headliners – Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers and the Steve Miller Band – are, like Plant and Steve Winwood a number of years before, big scores but vanilla: artists with near-universal visas and broadly inclusive demographics.

Petty, in fact, might be the biggest crosssectional attraction in the 13-year history of this storied festival. Haynes’ Gov’t Mule

is now nowhere to be seen: the most definitive evidence that the “Jam” in the title now means simply “music” and not “long-form improvisational rock.”

The middle of the lineup always tells a different story, however. Even back in the years of Phil and Friends as headliners and a single Haynes guitar solo that exceeded the length of the entire Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger set, the middle lineup spoke to us of modernity and Brooklyn, as well as of jam’s increasing interest in the club scene and electro hybrids. A few years ago, the second-tier meat of the Mountain Jam lineup and that of Governor’s Ball were virtually indistinguishable. Mountain Jam was quietly hipping up. This was around the same time that Bowery Presents was attempting, with little success, to book the Bearsville Theater in a Brooklyn-synched way. This is no longer the case. By my count, this year’s Mountain Jam and the Randall’s Island teen fest (happening as I write) share about two acts.

So it’s way less jam, but also way less aspirational hip. What does that leave?

Well, when I look at the lineup, middle and down, I see…lots of people I’ve met.

Mountain Jam 2017 reached out with open arms to the resident pro population – Marco, Amy, Simi, Murali, Big Takeover – as well as to some staple bands from WDST’s new rotation, such as Elephant Revival and the Head and the Heart, really bolstering the sense of “local” generally.

This is commendable. It also speaks to the allocation of resources. I don’t claim to be an expert on going rates, but my gut suggests that Tom Petty and Mike Campbell might well be the biggest resource Mountain Jam has ever allocated.

Take a look at the lineup and judge for yourself. Mountain Jam takes over the slopes at Hunter Mountain on Friday, June 16 and releases them at the end of

Diana Krall plays the Bardavon

I

n the great tradition of interpreters, the Canadian jazz vocalist and pianist Diana Krall did not even venture into original composition until 2004’s The Girl in the Other Room, nine releases, several Grammys and a large storage unit full of Canadian Juno Awards into her career. And that was about it for originals. Since then, the distinctive and ambitious interpreter has looked everywhere for material except in her own head: bossa nova, ‘60s swank/pop, ragtime and early jazz, musical theater (always a great feeder stream of the jazz repertoire) and what-have-you.

Krall has attained commercial peaks upon which jazz artists are seldom allowed to tread. She has done it with great personality, great skill and intelligent repertoire. While modern jazz spins further and further away from the tune, Krall consolidates its great tradition of jazz songcraft and song setting.

This eminence of popular jazz makes her Bardavon debut on Sunday, June 11 at 7 p.m. She is on tour in support of her new album Turn up the Quiet, which celebrates a return to jazz and the Great American Songbook and reunites Krall with Grammy Award-winning producer Tommy LiPuma.

Tickets for Diana Krall cost $108 to $133 and may be purchased at the Bardavon box office at 35 Market Street in Poughkeepsie, (845) 473-2072, or through Ticketmaster at (800) 745-3000 or www.ticketmaster.com.

See Jerry's “favorite unknown guitarist” in Hudson on Saturday Of all the typically hyperskilled guitarists who have found bill-paying work in the void left by the death of Jerry Garcia, Steve Kimock holds a distinction: He was explicitly endorsed by the man himself. Early in his career, the Bay Area regular Kimock was called by the great Garcia “my favorite unknown guitarist.”

While many of the Garcia fill-ins over the years (from the Allman-line Jimmy

Herring to our own Larry Campbell to the superstar John Mayer) have had to unlearn the blues mode to pick up on Garcia’s singular fusion of modern modal improvisation with a kind of country/ bluegrass melodic classicism, Kimock came from more of a jazz place to begin with. He is an understated, sweetly melodic player who values an articulate lyricism above technical histrionics.

Hmmm. Who does that sound like?

Steve Kimock and his band, called Kimock, appear at Club Helsinki in Hudson on Saturday, June 10 at 9 p.m.

Ticket prices for this 21+ show range within the very football-like numbers of $28 to $35. For tickets and additional information, visit www.helsinkihudson. com. Club Helsinki is located at 405 Columbia Street in Hudson.

Sock (hop) it to hate

S

tudents of the Paul Green Rock Academy (PGRA) and a roster of professional rockers will come together Sunday for an “All-American Sock Hop” at Woodstock’s Colony to benefit the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and antiracism education in local schools.

Woodstock-based publicist and Rock Academy partner Abbe Aaronson said that the event has its roots in an ugly incident of anti-Semitic harassment at Saugerties Junior High School earlier this year. Soon after the name-calling incident, Aaronson addressed the Saugerties Board of Education and offered to throw a fundraiser to help pay for new anti-bigotry programming in the school.

Members of the Rock Academy – a performance-based music education program headquartered in West Saugerties – have been honing a set of rollicking, danceable ‘50s rock ‘n’ roll in preparation for a show in Germany this summer. Aaronson said that the music – a mix of uptempo rockers and smooth crooners – seemed a natural fit for the cause. “We thought the ‘AllAmerican’ – in other words, all American, all-inclusive, we’re all in this together, love and support all people sort of way – sock hop theme would resonate for this sort of benefit,” Aaronson wrote.

Joining the student musicians will be a Who’s Who of local pros, including Zach Djanikian, Gail Ann Dorsey, Amy Helm, Connor Kennedy, Robin the Hammer, Dan Littleton, Jerry Marotta, Bill Sims and Simi Stone. “Unity Now is really an artistic endeavor for the students of PGRA, along with their friends and professional musicians in the Hudson Valley community, to stamp out intolerable hate speech in our area and beyond,” Aaronson wrote. “As artists, the students and guest musicians are proud to lead by example.”

The show is scheduled for Sunday, June 11 at 7 p.m. (doors open at 6 o'clock) at the Colony at 22 Rock City Road in Woodstock.

Admission costs $10 at the door. All proceeds will benefit the ADL’s upstate New York chapter and anti-bigotry education programs in local schools.

f you were at the Stormville Airport in the early ’70s, you were there during a time that some local flying enthusiasts remember as its heyday, considered 1968 to 1977 by one such pilot. You were also there at the beginning of what is now a 47-year tradition still going strong: the Stormville Airport Antiques Show & Flea Market, held six weekends a year.

In 1970, Patricia Carnahan, daughter of airport owners Rose and Pete O’Brien, got together about six vendors to put on a flea market at the site. Today’s visitors to the market find the old airstrip inhabited by more than 600 vendors, on average.

There’s one section where new flea market merchandise is offered, and another where it’s all about one-of-a-kind vintage and antique treasures. A bouncy house is there for the kids, and lots of food vendors are on hand. Quirky handcrafted wares find their way into the mix, like the brightly colored outdoor animal sculptures made from industrial parts. And the HGTV show Flea Market Flip makes regular visits to the antiques section to film episodes of its design-challenge concept show that pits one team of DIYers against another to create contemporary décor using vintage finds that they buy from vendors. Through it all, Pat Carnahan still runs the show.

Now Patricia’s daughter Sheila Carnahan – who already expanded the family business by organizing “Ultimate Family Yard Sale” events at the old airport – is starting a new event. The inaugural Food Truck & Craft Beer Festival will be held on Saturday, June 10 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. The Stormville Airport, located at 428 Route 216 in Stormville (a hamlet in the town of East Fishkill), will be turned over entirely to the

festival; don’t expect to buy any antiques or flea market items that day.

The Food Truck & Craft Beer Festival will be held in support of the Hudson Valley Hero Project, a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit that, among other things, provides aid to veterans and current military through scholarships, paying overdue bills and offering equineassisted PTSD therapy.

The event will feature a gathering of at least 15 food trucks offering a diversity of cuisine and food vendors set up in traditional festival booths. Sheila Carnahan was inspired to create the event after enjoying similar festivals in urban areas. “I’d been to craft beer shows and visited food truck festivals, and I wanted to bring something like that here,” she says. “I couldn’t decide which one I loved more, so I decided to combine them.”

The Food Truck & Craft Beer Festival includes a kids’ zone with an art-andcraft area, face-painting, bouncy houses and balloon animals. Two performers will provide live music – Rachael Hendricks and Ryan Clark – and adventurous types can sign up for ten-minute scenic helicopter rides with independent pilots. Rounding things out will be an artisan market with vendors offering handcrafted items.

Admission for kids age 12 and under is free, with everyone else paying $5 admission per person to have access to the food trucks and all the activities.

The craft beer and cider ticket is purchased separately, with that part of the event running from 1 to 5 p.m. for those aged 21 and older. The cost is $40, which includes a souvenir glass and samples from more than 40 regional and national craft beer and cider breweries that include Angry Orchard Hard Cider, Awestruck Premium Hard Cider, Bull & Barrel Brewery, Cricket Hill Brewery, Golden Road Brewery, Goose Island Beer Company, Brooklyn Brewery, New Belgium Brewing, Keegan Ales, Captain Lawrence Brewing, Ithaca Beer Company, Coney Island Brewing Company, the Traveler Beer Company, Hudson Ale

The next “Ultimate Family Yard Sale” will take place at the Stormville Airport on Saturday, June 17 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., with another event on Saturday, September 16.

Pets are not allowed at any of the Stormville Airport events.

The airfield that was known as N69 to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) was once a hub of aeronautic activities. Pete O’Brien bought the property in the late ‘20s, with the FAA listing it in its directory as being activated as an airport in October 1944. Pete married Rose in 1945, and throughout the 40 years that followed, they owned and operated the Stormville Flight School, where Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASPs) learned to fly during World War II. Other pilots found it the closest airport to New York City where flying was not restricted during the war for security reasons. Many pilots who went on to fly for major airlines honed their skills at the Stormville Airport.

Cole Palen, founder of the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome, was a close friend of the O’Briens and flew there often. He made a first flight of his restored 1909 Bleriot monoplane there, and used to fly a Fleet biplane there in the ‘50s.

Pete lived to be 102 years old, passing away in 2012. In his obituary, the family noted that there were many who remembered the days when they would come to Stormville Airport with folding chairs and spend the day watching the planes take off and land, having lunch at the snack bar and reminiscing with Rose and Pete on the front porch.

Pete’s last plane restoration was a 1926 Kinner Bird that he christened Spirit of Stormville. There hasn’t been any true airport activity at Stormville since the mid‘80s, and it closed up shop as an airfield entirely in 1995.

ALMANAC WEEKLY

of the era’s most enduring and beautiful art.

“He really walked the walk. It’s a little idealistic, perhaps; but when I look around today, what are people looking at to get away from materialist things?

They’re looking to purchase experiences.

What I see among my friends is that it’s not so much about having a bigger car; it’s about making your house nicer, maybe playing music…”

Music! We’ve been talking for an hour, and Henry has yet to mention the ostensible reason for our meeting: the imminent release of his latest CD, Flaming June. For the past 25 years or so,

The Art and Craft of guitarpicking Troubadour Kurt Henry to release new CD

"What I play is sort of a mishmosh, and that’s been a problem."

H

e’s been performing and recording his songs for nigh on 50 years. A troubadour who has serenaded countless political benefits, written and performed as many songs, sponsored the musicmaking efforts of hundreds of fellow guitarists and has become as fluent on electric as he has long been on acoustic guitar, I could only imagine who Kurt Henry’s greatest influence might be.

Pete Seeger? Jimi Hendrix? Django Reinhardt?

How about a guy who, as can best be determined, never strummed a guitar in his life? A guy who’s better known for his support for and creation of a political and philosophical movement that revolutionized Victorian culture? How about William Morris?

Kurt Henry is crazy about William Morris, the Promethean polymath whose creative energies extended more deeply into more realms than almost anyone else you’d care to conjure. He was a designer, craftsman, poet, philosopher and visionary socialist whose words still resonate with the 67-year-old musician.

Back in his SUNY-New Paltz days, after flirting with SDS (Students for a Democratic Society) and marching on Washington, hardcore radical politics weren’t for him: “I never liked dogma, then or now.” What he discovered he did like was J. R. R. Tolkien, medieval literature and, most critically, Morris’ The Well at the World’s End, a cornerstone of what’s now called fantasy literature. It’s an encompassing work that continues to fascinate and influence Henry.

“I think he was the most unique socialist thinker who ever lived. And he differed from every other socialist thinker – which is why he’s been isolated by other socialists, who tend to be dogmatic in nature.”

Morris, Henry concludes, was a “philosopher of happiness.” “His idea of socialism is fellowship – a fellowship of artists and people working together for the common good, against not only the oppression of people, but what was happening in his environment.”

Long and short of it? Henry has never forgotten what Morris endeavored to demonstrate throughout his life: that the authentic life is intrinsically connected to the aesthetic life, and that that goal is as possible as it is desirable.

But Morris’s fame has faded. His brand of socialism hasn’t been duplicated in the hundred-plus years since he’s been dead.

What’s his relevance today? Henry grins in response.

June 8, 2017

Singer/songwriter Kurt Henry (above) loves his rare copy (below) of Sigurd the Volsung, the epic poem written by William Morris, and one that deeply influenced J. R. R. Tolkien and C. S. Lewis. It was one of the last publications of Morris’ Kelmscott Press, the preeminent fine press of its day. Discovering the heroic medieval world of Morris’ Sigurd, Henry said, “was the most important discovery of my Tolkien-loving youth.”

“Everything he did was from an aesthetic perspective. He’s not the colorless socialist. He’s the socialist who decorates your house, the socialist who brings art into your life and makes you happy. Not the grim socialist, the Leon Trotsky who eats cabbage all day; Morris is the gourmet socialist.

“So rather than look at the question, ‘How might we wrest money away from the upper class?’ Morris asks the question, ‘How might we live better?’ It’s not about sharing profits; it’s about sharing art, sharing the bounty of the planet.”

Morris turned his back on England’s rapacious capitalist system and poured his inherited wealth into an art cooperative that has survived, in memory at least, as the Arts and Crafts Movement of Victorian England. The movement was highly controversial in its time because it denounced the “progress” of the machine age by rejecting unnecessary mechanical intervention and emphasizing the relative virtue of handmade work. Morris stood on streetcorners and preached his gospel.

And he and the men and women he attracted to his movement created some

JEFF COLLINS STONE SUPPLY

Henry has taught English to young people he describes as “the most challenging and the least challenging,” in Ulster BOCES Alternative High School and in the New Visions program for gifted students.

For eight years he hosted “Acoustic Thursday” at the High Falls Café, encouraging “maybe thousands” of local singer/songwriters. But more recently, his longtime commitment to folk music (his influences include Dave Van Ronk, Ian and Sylvia and especially his best friend, the late John Herald) began to wane. Under the influence of his bandmate and all-star studio cat Steve Burgh, he returned to his electric guitar roots, courtesy of a beloved Gretsch archtop hollow-body guitar, at the turn of the century.

Henry had an epiphany shortly after Burgh’s death in 2005: He was setting up the sound system for a performance stage in New Paltz when it occurred to him that he needed to take his guitar-playing to another level. He needed to measure himself against three monster guitarists whom he admired and with whom he had played with: former Womblers guitarist Steve Kerlinger, classical guitarist Peter Blanchette and the legendary jazz guitarist Ed Diehl. “I wanted to take it to that level.

Time to put more time into doing it.”

That effort has taken him to where he is today – to a place that he’s excited about, but also a place where he has become hard to categorize commercially. “I really don’t have any particular taste in music; I steal pedal-steel licks, jazz licks, country licks.

What I play is sort of a mishmosh, and that’s been a problem. I’ve been told, ‘You need to decide what kind of music you play.’ One promoter told she only handles ‘Americana.’ I’ve played country all my life.

What do I do? UnAmericana?”

Henry grows animated in recounting the absurdity of a music industry that has become as dogmatic as any Trotskyite of yore. The evidence of what he has accomplished as a singer, and especially as a guitarist, is readily available on Flaming June for anyone to hear – especially if you’re not hung up on musical categories or dogmatic, market-driven unrealities.

The Kurt Henry Band (Alan Goth on bass, Cheryl Lambert on harmony vocals, Pete Levin on keyboards, Larry Packer on violin and producer Eric Parker on drums) will have a release celebration of Flaming June at the Falcon Underground in Marlboro on June 23 at 7 p.m.

I thought I had, but then I learned that Prokofiev composed Peter and the Wolf in one week, then took another week or two to orchestrate it! Inspired? This week, you and your crew can experience the genius of this special story and musical themes through the lens of live dance!

On Tuesday, June 13 at 6 p.m. at the Kaatsbaan International Dance Center, the Academy of Dance performs Peter and Mikail and the Wolf. Your family will enjoy watching young dancers and supporting the arts. Tickets cost $5 per person. Kaatsbaan is located at 120 Broadway in Tivoli. For more information, call (845) 757-5106, extension 10, or visit www.kaatsbaan.org. – Erica Chase-Salerno Erica Chase-Salerno is on the quest for fresh local strawberries!

All for one.

Jerrice Baptiste reading at Inquiring Minds in New Paltz If activism means advocating and agitating individuals and communities into action, the point is to meet people where they are, right? That is exactly what Activist Story Hour is all about: reading stories out loud and exploring themes of social justice, diversity and more. Our next local Activist Story Hour takes place this Sunday, June 11 at 10:30 a.m. at the Inquiring Minds bookstore in New Paltz, featuring Jerrice Baptiste.

Baptiste is a familiar presence at area libraries, schools and book fairs where she does readings, writing instruction and poetry. You have also heard her on the airwaves on WKZE, and now you can meet her in person!

Activist Story Hour is free and open to the public, although it is geared toward young children. Inquiring Minds is located at 6 Church Street in New Paltz. For more information, call (845) 255-8300 or visit www.facebook.com/groups/activisthour.

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

Green alternatives G ood King Henry & sea kale are old fashioned leafy veggies worth reviving

T

he good king has gone to seed – Good King Henry, that is. A plant. But no matter about that going to seed; the leaves still taste good, steamed or boiled just like spinach.

The taste similarity with spinach isn’t surprising, because both plants are in the same botanical family: the Chenopodiaceae, or, more r e c e n t l y, t h e Amaranthaceae.

Spinach and Good King Henry didn’t change families; their family was just taken in by, and made into a subfamily of, the Amaranthaceae.

Whatever its name (and it’s also paraded under such common names as poor man’s asparagus and Lincolnshire spinach), Good King Henry is a vegetable that has been eaten for hundreds of years – except hardly ever, nowadays. While spinach, beet and some of its other kin have been improved by breeding and selection over the years, Good King Henry was

neglected.

But the Good King, besides having good flavor, has a few things going for it lacking in spinach: It’s a perennial plant, it’s edible all season long and it has no pest problems worth mentioning. This Mediterranean native made its way to my garden more than 20 years ago, from seed that I purchased and sowed. I haven’t had to replant it since then.

That brings me to one possible down side of Good King Henry: It keeps trying to spread beyond the far corner of the garden where I originally planted it.

Every spring I yank out errant plants and eat them.

One of my favorite things about Good King Henry is its species name, bonushenricus, making its whole botanical name Chenopodium bonus-henricus.

Another perennial vegetable that I’ve enjoyed this spring is sea kale (Crambe maritima), a relative of cabbage, broccoli and kale. This also is an old-timey vegetable – one whose popularity peaked in the 18 th century; Thomas Jefferson was a fan. The origin of the name may trace to the kale-like leaves being pickled to bring aboard ships to prevent scurvy.

Sea kale, though perennial, does not spread. I started my plants from seed a few years ago, which is tricky only because the seeds have a low germination percentage.

I’ve seen a few seedlings pop up a foot or so from the mother plant, which I welcome as an easy way to multiply my holdings.

Sea kale tastes very good either cooked or raw: something like a mild cabbage with a refreshing touch of bitterness.

Either way, blanching is needed to make it tasty, and that entails nothing more than covering it for a couple of weeks or so – more or less, depending on the weather (more warmth, less time) – to keep out light and make the shoots more mild and tender. I invert a clay flowerpot over the whole plant, with a stone or saucer over the drainage hole to keep light from

wending its way in. Like asparagus, new leaves eventually need to be set free to bask in the sun to fuel the roots for the next year’s early shoots.

One more plus for sea kale is that the plant is a beauty – so much so that it’s sometimes planted as an ornamental.

The wavy, pale-bluish-green leaves have a silvery pallor reminiscent of the British seascape to which they are native. Later in the season, a seafoam of white blossoms rises from the whorl of leaves.

two varieties are needed for fruiting.

As expected, the grafted stem on the successfully grafted plant flowered within a year of grafting. For days I tried to get the pollen from the male to pollinate the female parts of the flower, to no avail. And then, for some reason, the grafted stem started to darken and turn black, and died back.

I give up on trying to grow an indoor/ outdoor avocado plant – for fruit – in a pot.

Now for an about-face, from European plants enjoying cool weather and sometimes dry conditions, to a tropical American plant. A while back I wrote about my efforts to grow avocados here in New York’s Hudson Valley – not on a large scale, just one or two plants from which I could harvest a few fruits of some special variety.

I grew two plants from seeds that I saved from locally purchased avocado fruits, and grafted onto those seedlings the stems of two varieties that a gardening buddy sent up from Florida. Ungrafted, the seedling plants would bear fruit of unknown quality, if they bore at all. Grafted plants would give me improved, named varieties that would bear quickly.

I failed. Only one graft took, yet

Any day, the Powers That Be might turn off the spigot, and rain will stop.

Don’t wait for dry weather to learn about an easy and better (for you and plants) way to water. On June 24 from 1 to 4:30 p.m., I’ll be holding a Drip Irrigation Workshop at the garden of Margaret Roach in Copake Falls.

Pete’s Hot Dogs A Newburgh institution

T

radition is upheld in a small hot dog stand in Newburgh.

Pete’s Hot Dogs is a familyowned-and-operated business, soon to be joined by a fifth generation when the great-great-grandson of the original Pete steps behind the counter in the fall. The founder, Pete Orsino, had a plan exquisite in its simplicity, and it’s one that his descendants still follow: Keep It Simple. You’ve got a frankfurter,

all-beef with natural casing. You’ve got a bun. Offer a few accoutrements and something to drink, and you’re in the game.

Legend has it that Pete tried to sell his hot dogs at the local high school with no permit or any other extraneous rigmarole, and was stopped by the City from conducting business there. Undeterred, he bought the property on South Williams and installed his kitchen where it still

ALMANAC WEEKLY

June 8, 2017 stands today. This was in 1932, a mere 85 years ago. Little has changed in eight decades. You’ve still got your frankfurters, buns and accoutrements – although that word is probably too fancy to refer to onions, kraut, mustard and ketchup. And the chili. God, don’t forget the chili.

Hot-dog experts with more educated palates than I have wax downright poetic when discussing the attributes and distinguishing flavors of Pete’s products, comparing the varieties of Texas-style to Michigan dogs to Coney Island dogs to Cincinnati Greek-style dogs. Pete’s grandson Vince Orsino reiterates the formula for longevity and success: “We’ve kept it simple, like the old saying goes. You can get more people in and out if you keep your menu simple. Too much on the board confuses the customers and makes delays.

We can get customers in and out of here in two minutes. That’s why we don’t do French fries. It’s kept simple; not a lot of specials.”

Indeed, the menu can be scanned in seconds: your choice of hot dog with mild meat sauce (that’s the Texas), chili (hot bean sauce), mustard and kraut, mustard and raw onions, mustard and relish or the New York with sautéed red onions (oh yeah, baby!) – all for well under two bucks, and a double dog on a club roll for $3.45. Extras, to be had for a pittance, include jalapeño pepper slices, cheese and real crumbled bacon bits. Daily specials and the Wednesday and Saturday Special will get you combos with drinks and chips included.

Multiple generations of customers have patronized Pete’s over the years as well.

The unassuming eatery has truly been an institution in Newburgh since before the New York State Thruway was built, and truckers driving up and down the state on Routes 9W and 32 made it a habit to stop in for a bite. Children grew up consuming hot dogs expertly steamed by Pete, then Jerry, now Vince. And they’ve brought their own kids in as well. When I visited the stand last weekend, customers poured in steadily, grabbed lunch and were on their way, seemingly unconfused and happy with their meals.

Vince, who has been behind the counter since he got out of the Marine Corps in 1964, continues to offer a product that he feels good about feeding people, and when asked if there was anything he’d like to change or reinvent, he doesn’t hesitate: “No. I’m satisfied with what we’re doing.

It’s simple. We close on Sunday. We’ve never opened on Sunday; we have a ‘blue law’ here. Like in Bergen County in Jersey, there’s a ‘blue law’ – you don’t see any stores open on Sunday.”

About potential problems specific to working so closely with family, he says, “There’s always problems working with family, but you can work it out a lot better.

Hey, you could fire a non-family employee.

It’s hard to fire your own daughter or son.

Mine – Renee and Jeff – are both educated, with college degrees. And they both choose to come into the stand for the hours and the benefits. They come in at 10 and get off at 5. Where else could you do that?”

Renee Purcell, the fourth-generation daughter with the almost-eligible son, started when she was a teenager, too. “I was in eighth grade. No, I didn’t envision taking over the business someday. I didn’t think about it at that time,” she laughs. “That was the furthest thing from my mind back then.

Now my son Patrick will be starting to work in the fall when he turns 14. He asks every day when he can come to work. I feel very lucky that I have this in my life: being part of it, and my family being part of it, and

June 8, 2017 being loved and recognized by so many people. People from all over the country know about us, whether they’ve moved here or heard about us from someone else; when they come to Newburgh, they come in.

“It’s really special. I came back [from New York City] in September of 2002 when my husband and I decided to have children, and I’ve been working in the stand full-time ever since. You have to work it yourself. You can’t let other people take over, because then you lose control. You have to be involved all the time to make it work. That’s what it’s been here.” She and her brother work the grills, and look

ALMANAC WEEKLY forward to having yet another generation joining them.

“We have longevity in our family,” says Vince. “My mother was 101 when she passed away two years ago, and she died of boredom.” He pauses while I get the joke. I ask if his Mom ever worked at Pete’s, too. “No, never. My father Jerry, my two uncles, Tom and Anthony, and my grandfather all worked the stand. We’re just thankful we have good customers. We give a good product at a reasonable price.

And people stop by every time they’re in the area. I just had two guys in from across the river in Hamptonburgh. I get people from

Montgomery, Middletown, West Point and Nyack. I have people who fly in, and the first thing they do is come here, to see if we’re still here! We’re here, just like the Washington Headquarters; but the only thing is: Washington didn’t sleep here. Or eat here.” You can bet he would have, had Pete’s been around back then.

Doors open at 7pm. $20 at the door, cash only please. First come first seated: floor, bolster or chair.

Holy Mother, I place this cause in your hands (3x). Holy Spirit, you who solve all problems, light all roads so that I can attain my goal.

Thank-you for your mercy towards me and mine. The person must say this prayer 3 consecutive days, the request will be granted. This prayer must be published after the favor is granted.

FOR ADOPTION; ORANGE AND WHITE CAT GIRL..... Hi. I’m Autumn & I’m 4-years old. My “caregivers” weren’t kind to me.

First, they declawed me- which is a horrible thing to do, then, when they knew they were moving, they decided not to take me. But-my new foster mom loves me & thinks I’m a doll: sweet, affectionate, already spayed, up to date w/shots & am litter pan trained. If you’d like to be good to me & love me for the rest of my life, please call, text or email DRJLPK@aol.com or call/text (917)2822018. Have a nice day!
