NATURE Tick time Some things to keep in mind during Lyme disease’s high season
J
This could be one of the worst years yet.
ohn Burroughs wrote, “I go to nature to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put in order.” Many of us feel the same way, which is why Lyme disease is so insidious: Embedded within the cure is a mysterious new ailment, which can be easily knocked out with a round of antibiotics or cause permanent neurological damage. The months of June and July are the height of tick season and, though it’s hard to eliminate the chance of being bit by a tick without avoiding the woods altogether, there’s a lot we can do to reduce the likelihood of getting Lyme.
Scientists have been predicting for a while that 2017 would be a bad year for Lyme disease. It started with a bumper crop of acorns in 2015. For reasons still unclear, oak trees overproduce acorns every so often in what’s called a “mast year.” The following year, 2016 in this case, the population of acorn-eaters increases, as well as the ticks that prey upon them. Of particular interest is the white-footed mouse, which is an especially effective spreader of Lyme disease because ticks that attach to it have high infection and survival rates. (Mice don’t groom themselves while possums, just as likely to be bit by ticks, groom so fastidiously that each one kills thousands of ticks per year.)
It’s mostly undiagnosed. There were 28,000 diagnoses of Lyme disease in 2015, but the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimate that the true number of infections is ten times that — around 300,000.
The most dangerous ticks are smaller than you might think. The black-legged tick life cycle is two years long and includes three stages:

larva, nymph and adult. At each stage, the tick takes a blood meal. Eggs hatch in summer and the larva get their first meal, drop off and overwinter, molting into a nymph during the next spring. They take their second meal in the late spring/early summer, grow into adults and get their last meal in the fall or early the following year, with females laying eggs the following spring. According to the CDC, most humans are infected with Lyme disease by nymphs, which are much smaller than adults. Adults are a little larger than a sesame seed while nymphs are about the size of a poppy seed. Adults carry Lyme as well but are much easier to spot and remove.
“Deer tick” is a bit of a misnomer. The black-legged tick, Ixodes scapularis, was first described in 1821. When Lyme disease was discovered in the 1970s, scientists decided that the tick responsible for the infections was a new species, Ixodes dammini, commonly called “deer tick” because of the association of Lyme-carrying ticks and deer in the suburban Northeast. By the early ’90s, it was determined the ticks were all part of

Ixodes scapularis. Most life-forms have various common names whose origins are far from scientific. In this case, the popularity of the name “deer tick” and the assumption that Lyme disease correlates chiefly with white-tailed deer oversimplifies the situation. As Richard Ostfeld, a disease ecologist with the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies in Millbrook, writes in Lyme Disease: The Ecology of a Complex System, deer are as common (or more common) in many areas of the country that have yet to see Lyme disease.

it’s true that deer serve as important hosts for the ticks, they’re a very poor reservoir for the Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria that causes Lyme. Deer whose blood contains the pathogen infect only one percent of larval ticks who feed upon them. Compare that to white-footed mice, chipmunks and shrews, all of which infect more than 50 percent. Ostfeld’s book is devoted to the many variables at play. The disappearance of wolves in the Northeast, for example, and the resulting influx of coyotes, led to a drop in the fox population. Foxes are major predators of the rodents who serve as some of the best reservoirs of Lyme. When they’re around, the population of the rodents and their willingness to roam over a wider area is decreased. Settlement patterns are another factor. Large unbroken forests supporting a wide variety of animals (including predators) were less conducive to the spread of Lyme than the suburban and ex-urban pattern of leaving small slices of forest with dense undergrowth as buffers between homes. The latter offer relatively safe spaces for rodents and plenty of cover for ticks while, in the former, rodents are kept in check and ticks attach to a wider variety

of hosts — many of which are less likely to transmit Lyme and more likely to kill the ticks while grooming.
Climate change could be a factor. The Environmental Protection Agency recently added Lyme disease to its list of climate change indicators. Though Lyme is expanding in all directions, not just north, it’s thought that milder temperatures have acted as an accelerant by allowing more ticks to survive and more time for them to be active. If you spot and remove a tick the same day, you probably won’t get infected. Ticks take their time attaching and feeding. According to the CDC, if you remove a tick within 24 hours, you’re unlikely to get Lyme. When you’re outdoors during tick season, use a repellent that contains DEET. When hiking, stay on the center of the trail, avoiding leaf litter and tall grass. When you get back home, take a shower and use a mirror to check yourself for ticks. If you find one, remove it with tweezers, gripping as close to the head as possible. If the head breaks off, that’s OK, there’s no increased risk of infection by leaving it in. The body will reject it like a small

splinter in a few days. It’s not recommended that you see a doctor before symptoms like the bull’s eye rash (present in 70-80 percent of cases), headache, fever, muscle or joint aches manifest. Doxycycline is the most common antibiotic treatment.
Killing ticks There are ways to kill ticks before they can get you. The most effective method is to attract would-be hosts, like mice, using bait boxes. When the mice enter the box, they’re coated with an insecticide similar to what’s found in commercial flea and tick treatment for pets. Going after ticks on one’s own property isn’t very effective, though, since infected ticks from beyond can freely come and go. That’s why The Tick Project, a five-year study by the Cary Institute and Bard College, is using bait boxes as well as other means in 24 neighborhoods of 6-10 blocks. The study
aims to determine if a coordinated attack on this scale is effective or not.
What about a vaccine? With Lyme on the march, and diagnosis and treatment often tricky, the obvious question is: What about a vaccine? Actually, there used to be one. Lymerix was released in 1998, but was withdrawn only four years later following low sales and negative media coverage of lawsuits filed by individuals who said it caused arthritis, among other symptoms. A comparison of the rate of arthritis in those who had the vaccine and the general population later revealed no significant difference, but by then the market had dried up. Currently, you can get a Lyme vaccine for your dog but not for yourself. More human vaccines are in development, but as anti-vaccine sentiment has only grown during the last 15 years, the chances of widespread adoption seem low. – Will Dendis

NOTABLY GENEROUS WITH ATMOSPHERE but parsimonious with explanations for characters’ behavior, Daphne du Maurier’s stories have proven irresistible candy to movie directors – thrice to Alfred Hitchcock alone
NICOLA DOVE | FOX SEARCHLIGHT PICTURES
Rachel Weisz in My Cousin Rachel
Toxic or tonic? Rachel Weisz delivers a multilayered black widow in My Cousin Rachel
“I
t is an important and popular fact that things are not always what they seem.� As he explicitly admits with his inclusion of the word “popular� in this quote from The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Douglas Adams was far from the first social pundit to make this observation. But truisms, however trite-sounding, become truisms for a reason, and often bear deeper inspection. In this case, we find a gateway into the magic of cinema, which by its very nature is all about appearances, broadly splashed before our eyes – at least at first, until we get drawn in.
In some movies, that visual level of attack is all there is, and some viewers ask for no more. My Cousin Rachel isn’t that sort of movie. Its visual appeal is certainly lush, asprawl with wild horseback rides along the spectacular coast of Cornwall and a more claustrophobic but similarly gorgeous sojourn in an Italy populated more densely with marble statues than with flesh-and-blood Italians. If you have a weakness for travelogues, it’s worth seeing on that level alone. But what you get is much more than what you see. The film is based on a 1951 novel by Daphne du Maurier, who specialized in Gothic tales with unreliable narrators and

heroines (or villainesses) who are both larger-than-life and morally ambiguous. Notably generous with atmosphere but parsimonious with explanations for characters’ behavior, her stories have proven irresistible candy to movie directors – thrice to Alfred Hitchcock alone (Rebecca, The Birds, Jamaica Inn). My Cousin Rachel has appeared on screens both big and small before, but stands up well to another treatment, this time directed by Roger Michell (Notting Hill, Hyde Park on Hudson, Le Week-End). Aside from those stunning Cornish clifftop vistas, this latest version’s power lies primarily in the able hands of Rachel Weisz in the title role. Alternately building layers of opacity and peeling them away with delicate nuance, she walks a neat tightrope between possible interpretations of the character: ambitious femme fatale or merely a wronged widow, “making her way in the world as she wishes.â€? We see Rachel from the point of view of Philip (Sam Claflin), who has been raised by his cousin Ambrose in an upper-class English household almost entirely devoid of women. That an educated 24-year-old man of means should be so callow, naĂŻve, inexperienced is the toughest pill that this story asks us to swallow. But it’s essential.

Philip’s tunnel vision with regard to the feminine half of humanity makes him both highly susceptible to Rachel’s charms and paranoid of her motives. At the outset, we find that longtime bachelor Ambrose has been summering in Italy for his health and recently married the mysterious woman of the title. Philip, his heir, begins receiving alarming, cryptic letters: Ambrose is becoming progressively more ill and suspects Rachel of poisoning him. By the time Philip arrives, intent on rescue, his cousin is dead and his widow absconded. The young man swears vengeance; but when beautiful, penniless Rachel shows up at the family manse back in Cornwall, he finds himself bedazzled, his assumptions crumbling, his resolve dissolving. Philip’s advisors – his lawyer (Simon Russell Beale), his godfather Nick (Iain Glen), Nick’s daughter Louise (Holliday Grainger) – are much more skeptical, especially when the financial allowance set aside for Rachel’s upkeep begins flowing out of the country at an alarming rate. But neither they nor the household servants nor the farmers who work the estate are immune to Rachel’s charms. Among the latter are her talent for brewing tisanas, traditional Italian medicinal draughts; and never did steaming cups of herbal tea loom so ominously onscreen. Is

annerman Castle, perched atop what was originally called Pollepel Island, was an outrageous proposition from the beginning. Built after the turn of the 19th century on a six-acre outcropping just off the eastern shore of the Hudson River, the structure was both home to the family of Frank Bannerman VI and an industrial warehouse for the entrepreneur’s massive collection of antique military equipment. Occupied for nearly 50 years, then abandoned and left to deteriorate for another half-century, the mysterious site is visible to train travelers and boaters on the Hudson. It became a part of the Hudson Highlands State Park, and since 2004, preservation efforts have stabilized the structures so that visitors can once again come onto the island and explore. The Bannerman Castle Trust provides public tours of Bannerman Castle and Pollepel Island from May through October each year. Launching from either Beacon or Newburgh, curious photographers, hikers and history buffs are escorted by boat out to the island for a 1.5-hourlong hike over the rough trails and around the buildings. A guided tour allows visitors to view the ruins and learn the history of the Bannermans. A bonus hike to the summit or to the north side of the island (not included in regular tours) rewards hardier trekkers with stunning views of Newburgh Bay. Check out the special tours and events that the Bannerman Castle Trust offers: In July, avid gardeners will be treated to a horticultural tour of the island on Wednesdays, and a special Fourth of July tour will include fireworks viewing from the Estuary Steward. For a more family-oriented activity, there are self-guided tours with live music on the third Sunday of every month. Theatrical performances are scheduled each month, with everything from Shakespeare to The War of the Worlds on the billboard. And in October, horror movies will be shown in the residence. From Beacon, the Estuary Steward heads to the island most Saturdays and Sundays. From Newburgh, the ferry runs on Sundays. Check the website for times, tickets and other pertinent information, such as: Wear practical shoes. Pathways on the island can be steep and tricky to navigate. From the boat to the start of the tour, there’s a 72-step climb, and some of the island terrain is rough. Advance booking is required for all tours. Snacks can be purchased on the island, or you can bring your own food to eat on the boat; no picnicking is allowed on Pollepel Island. Tours take place rain or shine, so dress for the weather. All proceeds benefit the Pollepel Island and Bannerman Castle preservation efforts. – Ann Hutton Bannerman Island Cruise/Castle Tours, May-October, Saturdays, 11a.m. & 12:30 p.m., Sundays, 12:30 p.m., Beacon Institute Floating Dock, Sundays, 11 a.m., Blue Point Dock, Newburgh, various prices; (855) 256-4007, www.bannermancastle.org/ index.html.
their bitterness the taste of betrayal, or merely experience? This story is set in the 1830s, when options for women – even upper-class women – were few. Contemporary audiences can bring to it a more feminist sensibility than was likely to be found among those who saw the Richard Burton/Olivia de Havilland version when it hit the theaters in 1952, so in many ways it’s not the same movie. (It would be much different one if shown from the point of view of Rachel, or of Louise: both enticing alternatives.) But it’s constructed from the same sparse data set that du Maurier supplied in the original book, which left plenty of room for a canny director to tease the eye and the brain with speculations about who dun what – and on a more philosophical level, about the elusive nature of appearances and underlying realities. Conclusion: My Cousin Rachel may not be the most satisfying costume epic of 2017, but it’s intriguing and worth a look. Like her fictional namesake, Rachel Weisz will get under your skin. And you may find yourself putting a holiday in scenic Cornwall in the foreseeable future on your to-do list, as well. – Frances Marion Platt

The Hudson as muse “Undercurrents: The River as Metaphor� now on view at SUNY-New Paltz’s Dorsky Museum
E
very summer, the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art on the SUNY-New Paltz campus hosts the Hudson Valley Artists series, a themed exhibition of work by emerging and mid-career artists in nine counties. This year the theme was “Undercurrents: The River as Metaphor.� The show opened June 10 and will remain on view through July 30. Artists were asked to submit works in response to the following statement: “The Hudson River is a metaphor for life, death, human aspirations and challenges. Its beauty launched environmental movements, and it was used to transport immigrant groups seeking new homes and opportunities and slaves escaping bondage. It played a key role during the Revolutionary War and served as a passageway for battleships during World War I and World War II. These days, its wakes and waves bespeak the turbulence that marks our contemporary life.� Out of 190 submissions, 41 artists were chosen to exhibit: Fern T. Apfel, Andrew Barthelmes, Arlene Becker, Don Bruschi, Peter Bynum, Laura Cannamela, Tobe Carey, Larry W. Chapman, Dick Crenson, Carlo D’Anselmi, Shelley Davis, William Durkin, Richard Edelman, Susan English, Kari Feuer, Jenny Lee Fowler, Matthew Friday, Steve Gentile, Mark Gibian, Carla Goldberg, Theresa Gooby, Sarah Heitmeyer, Keith Hoyt, Ellen Kozak, Minjin Kung, Polly M.

Larry W. Chapman, The Morning Float(2016), archival inkjet print, 44 x 66 inches.
Raquel Rabinovich, Margaret Saliske, Suzy Sureck, James A. Thomson, Susan Togut, Michael Washburn, Dan Wolf, Brian Wolfe and Xuewu Zheng. With that many voices in the mix, the exhibit is a bit like a mixed-media work itself. There are drawings, paintings, photographs, sculptural works and video installations. There is also a wall-mounted shark made of buttons, a salvaged rowing skiff and a photo of a barge relic attached to the actual barge wood, along with its registration tags. But the diversity all comes together in an ultimately pleasurable viewing experience, and the gallerygoer leaves with new ways to view the great river and a broadened sense of how much it means to people who live here. “Undercurrents: The River as Metaphor� includes a number of photographs. The Morning Float (2016), a large 44-by-66inch archival inkjet print by Larry W. Chapman, puts realism to poetic use in an atmospheric image of the river in early morning light, the craggy rocks underfoot solid, the water’s far edge disappearing into the mist. Richard Edelman’s photographs, on the other hand, are
constructs – fantasies of reality, as he notes – but no less real, somehow, in their visual impact. Hudson River Construct #9 (2016), a 27-by-40-inch pigmented inkjet print, depicts a dense patterning of leaves at the water’s surface that doesn’t actually exist, but feels as if it does. More than a few of the sculptural works and installations have a palpably physical presence. Peter Bynum’s Psychedelia Rising (2015) offers an abstracted representation of underwater plant life, rendered in acrylic paint, sandwiched between two layers of tempered glass lit by an LED light panel. While the actual work is 72 by 48 inches, it feels much larger, mounted so that it rises to a height of eight feet. Standing in front of the glowing glass panel in the darkened gallery imparts a sense of immersion in water, and a bit of wonder, too. In his artist statement, Bynum says that he’s interested in “the flow of energy through living systems and the interconnectedness of all life.� Another work with a strong physical presence is Harry Leigh’s Hudson Falls Cascade (2015). The title of the 11-foothigh work and its waterfall-like structure are suggestive of falling water, but the
curved plywood strips that make up the sculpture also speak to the river’s history of boating and iceboating. And Susan Togut’s Lifeforce: A Gift from the River (2017) uses tree limbs, branches, roots, rocks, river glass from the Hudson’s shores, stained-glass paint and fishing line to create an immersive work representing the shifting currents of the river. Other works are more contemplative, like Jenny Lee Fowler’s i swim in this river, (2017), a cut-paper piece executed with great finesse and detail depicting the silhouette of a swimmer whose body contains many of the natural forms found in the river, a turtle shell, fishscales and plant life among them. The figure is mounted against a river-blue backdrop and elegant in its simplicity. The show was curated by Livia Straus, co-founder and current director of the Hudson Valley Center for Contemporary Art in Peekskill, a nonprofit that focuses on contemporary art’s relationship to social issues. Straus says that when she first put out the call for exhibition entries, she expected to receive submissions that dealt with the Hudson Valley’s immigrant history or that spoke to its past

Straus says. Instead of sociological content, she found a population of artists inspired by the geography and beauty of the Hudson River. The story that ended up being told, she notes, is a narrative of relationships with the river, of commitment and responsibility to maintain and value its beauty. And while the show is not what she had first anticipated, she says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is real joy in curating an exhibition that highlights the talents that populate the region.â&#x20AC;? One or more of these artists will see their work added to the Dorskyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s permanent collection through the Hudson Valley Artistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Annual Purchase Award, made possible by the Alice and Horace Chandler Art Acquisition Fund. Artist talks will be held at 2 p.m. in the galleries on Saturday, June 24 (with Laura Cannemela, Kari Feuer, Carla Goldberg, Theresa Gooby, Sarah Heitmeyer and Antonella Piemontese) and on Saturday, July 8 (with Peter Bynum, Carlo Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Anselmi, William Durkin, Steve Gentile, Mark Gibian and Iain Machell). There will also be two â&#x20AC;&#x153;family daysâ&#x20AC;? scheduled, with hands-on, exhibitioninspired activities for kids and their families. The first takes place on Sunday, July 2 at 2 p.m. with artist Jenny Lee Fowler, and the second on Sunday, July 30 at 2 p.m. with artist Matthew Friday. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Sharyn Flanagan

ALMANAC WEEKLY event for the fastest boatbuilder in the world. Award-winning teams of builders will be traveling to Kingston to compete, including winners from previous matches such as Bobby Staab, winner of the Beaufort, South Carolina challenge. Eight two-person teams will each build a 12-foot Carolina Bateau rowing skiff in less than four hours and produce one boat, which will then be raced in a rowing competition on the Rondout Creek. Boatbuilding speed, craftsmanship and seaworthiness are requirements for winning. The dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s challenge will take place under a huge tent amongst the docked vessels, with music, food and familyfriendly activities and water-related demonstrations for the annual Hudson River Day. The Hudson River Maritime Museum Riverport Wooden Boat School is located at 50 Rondout Landing in Kingston. For more information, call (845) 338-0071, extension 20, or visit www.hrmm.org.

Paddle the water trail at Black Creek this Saturday in Highland It has been said that the conservation of natural habitat only means something to people who are familiar with nature. Which means that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to know it to love it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and to comprehend fully the web of life that supports our existence. To that end, join the Town of Lloyd Environmental Conservation Council (ECC) for a day on Highland's Black Creek this Saturday morning, June 24 at 10 oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;clock. Craig Chapman of New Paltz Kayaking Tours will supply rental kayaks and canoes at a cost of $10 each, or you can bring your own kayak to join the fleet. Chapman will conduct a brief lesson on the basics of paddling, so previous experience is not necessary. The group will be held to the first 20 people who sign up for a leisurely meander on the waters of Black Creek and the connecting Chodikee Lake. ECCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Neil Curri recommends that kids should be at least 8 years old to participate, but explains that some of the vessels accommodate two or more people, so an inexperienced young person will not have to paddle on his or her own. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to get people who have never been out on the Creek to experience paddling

Don’t forget your camera, bug spray, hat and maybe a poncho.” The tour begins at 10 a.m., and participants should arrive at 9:30 to get fitted into a life jacket. “This will be a couple of hours of easy paddling – perfect for beginners.” It’s one of the ECC’s top priorities to introduce people to the beauty of local natural resources and engage them in the mission of maintaining and extending the Black Creek Water Trail where it moves through the Town of Lloyd. Celebrated by Walt Whitman as a “stream of hurrying amber,” the Water Trail is a site rich with recreational and educational opportunities for young and old. The Town-appointed Council meets every third Monday at 7:30 p.m. in the Town Hall to implement ways to maintain the natural heritage and scenic beauty of the region.

See the inside of Slabsides in West Park this Saturday John Burroughs’ cabin Slabsides is only open to the public on a few occasions each year. This Saturday, June 24, is one of them. The cabin doors will be open to visitors from noon to 4 p.m. Slabsides is the rustic cabin retreat of literary naturalist John Burroughs. In 1895, Burroughs purchased a tract of land near his riverfront home in West Park and built a two-story cabin as a place to write and entertain. He constructed much of the cabin himself using the rough bark-covered slabs from the first cut of trees, and named it Slabsides. Burroughs crafted many of the furnishings from wood that he found

nearby. Adding to the rustic appeal of the cabin, the homespun blanket made by his mother still covers his bed. To supplement his writing income, Burroughs grew large crops of celery in the black muck near the cabin for the New York City market. As Burroughs’ popularity grew, the cabin attracted devoted readers and prominent friends. His guestbooks include nearly 7,000 signatures, including that of John Muir, an early overnight guest in 1896. Burroughs wrote in his journal that they talked into the night and forgot to have dinner. President Theodore Roosevelt and Mrs. Roosevelt visited Slabsides in 1903, coming up the Hudson River on the Presidential yacht. They dined on Burroughs’ famous brigand steak and peas from his garden. Inside and out, the cabin is preserved much as Burroughs left it when he died in 1921. With funding from the National Parks Service and New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, a restoration of the exterior siding of the cabin was completed in 2007, along with the repair of the foundation. Slabsides was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1968 and is a Hudson River National Heritage Area site. Slabsides is set within the 200-acre John Burroughs Nature Sanctuary, owned and maintained by the John Burroughs Association. Visitors will find a 4.5-mile network of trails, including five that are newly constructed. They are rated easyto-moderate to navigate and they are beautiful. The hike goes across rocky ridges, through deep forests and onto a peninsula in a stunning two-acre pond, enabling the visitor to experience the same forest, geologic formations, waterfalls, fern valleys, wildflowers, birds and wildlife that Burroughs reveled in more than 100 years ago. The Nature Sanctuary is open to the public every day from dawn to dusk. There is no admission fee, although donations are most welcome. Slabsides and the John Burroughs Nature Sanctuary are located at 261 Floyd Ackert Road in West Park. For more information, visit www. johnburroughsassociation.org.

Rhinebeck Crafts Festival this weekend The Rhinebeck Crafts Festival will return to the Dutchess County Fairgrounds at 6550 Spring Brook Avenue (Route 9) on Saturday, June 24 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday, June 25 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. This will be the fifth outing for the two-day event, bringing together 200 independent artists and craftspeople from more than 25 states. The day is planned as a celebration of all things handmade: contemporary craft and art, gourmet specialty foods, locally distilled spirits and fine wines from Hudson Valley wineries. There will be interactive craft demonstrations in blacksmithing, wheelthrown pottery, canoe-carving, engraving and embossing and leatherworking. Family activities will include interactive puppet theater, face-painting, balloon animals and stiltwalkers. Admission costs $10 for adults, $9 for seniors, $4 for children ages 6 to 16 and is free for kids under six. Group rates are available. Parking is free and the show is held indoors and under tents, rain or shine. No pets are allowed on the fairgrounds.
Experimental “Picture Industry” exhibit opens Saturday at Bard The Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College (CCS Bard) was founded in 1990 for the purpose of studying modern and contemporary art and to explore experimental approaches to exhibition. “Picture Industry,” the new exhibit opening on Saturday, June 24, will present works by more than 80 artists whose efforts range from historical documentation to major installations. Curated by artist Walead Beshty, “Picture Industry” reflects upon transformations in the production and distribution of photographic images, from photography’s origin as scientific tool and a means of cultural investigation to its phenomenological effects on a viewer. The show includes collections of photographs, slide projections, periodicals, film and video installations, sculptures and printed works on paper. Viewing the works creates numerous situations within which to consider not only the materiality of images and the technologies that form the way we take in the images, but also the conflicted social history that lies under their surfaces and is inextricable from their origins. CCS Bard encourages students, faculty and researchers to question the critical and political dimension of art, its mediation and its social significance. It is uniquely positioned within the larger Center’s tripartite resources, which include the CCS Bard Library and Archives and the Hessel Museum of Art, with its permanent collection. The Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College is located at 33 Garden

“Taking a Stand” staged reading at Hudson Hall this Sunday Hudson Hall at the historic 1855 Hudson Opera House will present an afternoon of staged readings this Sunday, June 25 at 3 p.m. The short pieces in “Taking a Stand” were written and produced by members of Plays in Progress: Ellen Clarkson, Mel Cobb, Jr., Christopher Conant, Lucile Lichtblau, Byron Nilsson, Marcia Slatkin and Jesse Waldinger. The group of professional actors, writers and directors formed in 2009 and meets monthly at the Hudson Opera House to read and discuss each writer’s current works-in-progress. Every year the group produces a gala to benefit Hudson Hall, consisting of original short plays developed during the monthly meetings. “Taking a Stand” will be staged in the newly restored upstairs performance hall. This year's never-before-performed plays are about different forms of love: fear of commitment, William Shakespeare’s improbable gentlemanly aspirations, the turning point of the Dreyfus Affair, a contest between hummus-makers and more. The reading will be followed by a reception with the writers, directors and cast. “The caliber of writing, directing and acting talent in ‘Taking a Stand’ is a testimony to the creative vibrancy of our region,” says Gary Schiro, executive director of Hudson Hall. “We are thrilled to be able to provide a professional-level venue for this work to incubate and grow.” All proceeds benefit Hudson Hall, located at 327 Warren Street in Hudson. Tickets cost $20, available by calling (518) 822-1438 or at www.hudsonhall.org.

My mother tells a story of me as a precocious and disarmingly articulate young rebel. It takes place in the education building of the Reformed Church on Huguenot Street in New Paltz. Presented there with some Bible story and/or precept, my mother has the eight-or-nine-year-old John calmly saying, to the amusement and amazement of those assembled, “I do not subscribe to that theory.” I bet my mom knocked some years off my age, the way one adds inches to fishes in personal lore, and I sort of suspect that it never happened at all; but it does sound like me: contrarian for the hell of it, but well-armed to defend a fundamentally antagonistic stance. I stood up to Bob Dylan like I stood up to God. I didn’t subscribe to that theory. At the root of my resistance was a simple fact: I loved music – not character, not style, not folk poetry, not politics, not relevance as defined by Jann Wenner. I loved music,

ndie-rock values have been invading your roots-rock lately, which you may have noticed if you spend any time monitoring the airwaves of WKZE or WDST. In the indie code, each song is its own unique production universe; a “chamber” approach to arrangement and orchestration prevails; sounds and grooves are joyfully skewed and garbled; noise and sonic distress are relished if not required. Now, transpose this in your head into the formerly utilitarian key of roots-rock, where what was good enough for your Papa was always assumed to be good enough for you, and where there is no need to invent new wheels ’cause the old ones take you home just fine. The Brooklyn-by-way-of-Minnesota band Big Thief exemplifies the melding of the values, and does so with tremendous verve, kick and subtlety. The vehicle of songwriter and guitarist Adrianne Lenker, Big Thief have two revelatory full-lengths to their name: 2016’s stunning Masterpiece, in which the squall of Crazy Horse is reimagined as chamber repertoire, and 2017’s dense follow-up Capacity. This fabulous and refreshing band headlines at BSP in Kingston on Thursday, June 22 at 7:30 p.m., accompanied on the bill by Twain and the Brother Brothers. Tickets cost $10 in advance and $15 at the door. For tickets and additional information, visit www.bspkingston.com. BSP is located at 323 Wall Street in Kingston. – John Burdick
and for me, there just wasn’t enough music in Bob Dylan’s music. Like Levon (I would learn years later), I couldn’t find the pocket in Dylan’s rock. It just sounded like unoriginal slop. Like Levon, I excused myself from it (while the rest of the Band went on the road with him). Like Levon, I came around eventually. You can’t fight Bob Dylan, like you can’t fight the tide. He has achieved a cultural presence so pervasive and lasting that he is practically a feature of the Earth’s ecosystem, for reasons having less to do with Jann Wenner’s mythmaking machinery and more with the inherent properties of Dylan’s work: the poignancy and character of his language, the efficacy of its simple melodic containers, the wonderfully permissive slop of his poetic prosodics in which lines of overblown prose are miraculously pulled into verse just in time for the rhyme. You just want him speaking for you for some reason. I don’t get it. I still prefer music, but Dylan is great. I subscribe already. In case you are just getting back from your walkabout, the Bardavon is presenting two performances by Bob Dylan: Friday and Saturday, June 23 and 24 at 8 p.m. at the Hutton Brickyards at 200 North Street in Kingston. The Saturday show is sold out, but a few tickets remain for Friday. For tickets and additional information, visit www. bardavon.org.

John Paul White plays Helsinki Hudson this Saturday
Joel Harrison touts new LP release at Woodstock’s Colony
When ace guitarists throw their hats into the singer/songwriter ring, the first move tends to be to minimize the guitar flash and make sure that all attention is directed toward the songs and vocal performances, lest the artist be perceived as using guitar chops to compensate for less-thansturdy tunes or less-than-viable interpretive muscle. The guitarist/composer and Guggenheim fellow Joel Harrison (founder of the Alternative Guitar Summit) demonstrates this principle ably on his new release, The Other River: 11 New Songs. While there is plenty of tasty and atmospheric guitar-playing here, it is the songs and production in strict focus: a kind of ambient, jazz- and grooveinflected Americana not so far off from the best of Daniel Lanois. Harrison’s small-but-choice ensemble includes co-producer Glenn Patscha (Roseanne Cash, Marc Cohn) on keyboards, Tom Major on drums and the ace Woodstock-area multiinstrumentalist Kyle Esposito on bass. Harrison’s songwriting is narrative in the school of magical realism: equal parts grit and meditative spirituality. Joel Harrison and band celebrate the release of The Other River: 11 New Songs with a performance at Colony in Woodstock on Thursday, June 29 at 8

Frederic Church inside the historic rooms at the Olana State Historic Site. Lee spent days over the winter inside Olana’s archives and sat with Church paintings in many museums around the Northeast in the creation of this story. These free, family-friendly tours will also be offered on July 29 and August 26 at 9 a.m. “The Question Tour,” a new historic house experience for ages 12 and older, will be presented at 11 a.m. once a month on the same day as the 9 a.m. storytelling tour. “I began telling stories at the Metropolitan Museum of Art,” says Lee, “where my ability to explore the connections of stories to their broader artistic heritage took on new depth. In my first project with the education department at the Met, I was invited to tell a version of Gilgamesh based on a new translation of 3,000-year-old cuneiform tablets.” The storytelling tour and The Question Tour take place inside Church’s home at Olana.

The ghost bars of New Paltz A reluctant veteran looks back… and shudders
I
’ve learned a few things about the nostalgia game recently. It’s like zucchini: You don’t have to grow it yourself. Just write “zucchini” on the side of an empty cardboard box and put it out by the curb. People will volunteer their own, enough to squash your entire summer: zucchini like torpedoes and bombs, land eels and horse dongs, alien embryos and bulbous baseball bats for carrot-nosed puppets to wield. To quote the Ass Ponys, “Earth to Grandma: What the hell is that?” At the request of my editor – another eccentric New Paltz lifer – I wrote an essay about SUNY-New Paltz’s Spring Weekend and the California-shaped tract of swampy grassland known locally as PHOTO BY BENJAMIN J.

NIGHT SKY
The meeting of giants Jupiter and Saturn and the Great Conjunction Curse
E
very 20 years or so, the giant planets Jupiter and Saturn meet. This rare conjunction has long been associated with weird events. We’ll get to all that in a moment. We can get a visual preview the next clear night: Just look around the sky at 10 p.m. The brightest star is the planet Jupiter, in the southwest. Saturn stands low in the east as the thirdbrightest star. If you’re in doubt, point any telescope its way and you’ll be astonished at the rings. The two giant worlds will draw closer the next few years. They will meet on the first day of winter in 2020. This Solstice conjunction will be the most spectacular meeting of planets in our lives. The two will be so close to each other, they’ll merge into a single ball – at least for those with marginal vision. Through a telescope, they’ll fit into the same field of view, separated by just one-sixth the width of the Moon. Nothing short of spectacular. We’ve never seen it in our lives. (In case you wonder if Jupiter can ever actually eclipse Saturn by passing directly in front of it: Yes, it can happen. Although there have been no such occultations in the 5,000-year period of 1,000 to 6,000 AD, it will next happen in 7541.) These meetings of Jupiter and Saturn, called “Great Conjunctions,” usually happen in years divisible by 20 – and always in the constellation of Taurus, Virgo or Capricornus, although sometimes on the boundary of some adjacent constellation, which is why the Virgo conjunctions are sometimes listed as Libra. (Also, one mustn’t confuse the

irregularly sized actual constellations with the imaginary, evenly spaced astrological signs.) The Great Conjunctions in Taurus, every 60 years, find the planets very high up, and thus particularly noteworthy. We last saw that in 2000. The next are in 2060 and 2120. Much has been made of the fact that several presidents who were elected during a year of a Great Conjunction died in office. Since that topic of coincidences is so popular, let’s look at a few astronomical ones I’ve never previously mentioned. Earth’s radius is 3,960 miles, while the Moon spans 1,080 miles from its surface to its center. Their combined radii are 5,040 miles. Well, this happens to be the number of minutes in a week. It’s also equal to 1 x 2 x 3 x 4 x 5 x 6 x 7 – which, incidentally, also equals 7 x 8 x 9 x 10. More? Well, the orbital periods of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are 30,000 days, 60,000 days and 90,000 days. Okay, this was after rounding off; but still, the three planets orbit the Sun in a 1:2:3 ratio, if you allow an accuracy of 99.8 percent. You can keep going with numerical stuff like this, or finding anagrams of body parts (Earth’s letters spell “heart,” while Mars is “arms”) or ponder why every other planet contains the letter “U.” It’s important to know when to stop. – Bob Berman Want to know more?

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK
Cornucopia Popped, polenta-ed or on the cob, it’s all good
I
can understand why corn was so popular a crop early on in the settlement of our country by Europeans. Sure, it tastes good popped, ground and cooked, and, while immature, fresh from the cob. Mostly, though, corn was easy to grow in the rough soil left from recently cleared forest. Most of my corn grows in my two vegetable gardens, where the soil is crumbly and weed-free, watered gently by drip irrigation and nourished annually with an inch depth of compost. The south garden is home, every year, to a couple of beds (about 60 square feet) of popcorn, and the north garden to four beds (about 215 square feet) of sweet corn. Those two gardens provide us with all the sweet corn and popcorn we eat for a year. Separate gardens are needed because if sweet corn and popcorn cross-pollinate, the sweet corn will be less sweet and the popcorn won’t pop as well. I also grow polenta corn, an heirloom Italian variety called Otto File. But I only have two vegetable gardens. So this corn goes out in the field into the weedy soil between my dwarf apple trees. Conditions there aren’t as rough as cornfields wrought from forests in Colonial times, but out there the corn must deal with weeds, grasses and rabbits, and drink only water that falls from the sky. I did not use Colonial methods to ready the soil for planting. Instead, I mowed all vegetation to the ground and covered the planting areas – two beds, each about three feet wide, for a total of about 100 square feet of planting – with gray resin paper. (Sometimes called building paper, gray resin paper is used in construction, usually as underlayment under flooring and siding.) I topped the paper with an inch or so of compost, then made two
rows in each bed, in each row poking holes two feet apart, into each of which I dropped six Otto File seeds followed by a sprinkling of water. The seedlings are up and looking strong, so I thinned them out to three or four plants per hole, pulling out a few weeds as I thinned. I’ll weed one or two more times and then leave the plants to themselves. Weeds will grow, but the thentall corn plants should shade some into submission and hold their own against the more aggressive ones. For authenticity, yes, I could have buried some fish in the ground at each planting hole. But that would be more work, and I’m interested in production with minimal effort from that planting. Each year those beds have provided a year’s supply of polenta corn. Apple trees flanking the Otto File beds are loaded with a hopeful crop of cherry-sized fruits. The dreaded plum curculio, which is as happy to ruin a crop of apples, peaches, nectarines or cherries as well as plums, should have ceased its egg-laying by now, and burrowed into the soil to prepare for next year’s onslaught. (Surround is an organically approved spray of specially formulated kaolin clay that controls curculios.) Just because the nascent fruits have come along this far does not mean I’m home free. Apple maggot reliably makes its appearance just as the curculios vanish. This pest doesn’t usually make the fruit drop, as do curculios, but it riddles the fruit with so many tunnels that you can’t even eat around them. Fortunately, non-chemical control of apple maggot is easy. In the 1980s, Dr. Ron Prokopy at the University of

Separate gardens are needed because if sweet corn and popcorn cross-pollinate, the sweet corn will be less sweet and the popcorn won’t pop as well.
Massachusetts discovered that Ms. Maggot was attracted to the reddest apples, so he tried hanging croquet balls painted Tartarian Red and coated with forever-sticky Tangletrap in apple trees. Maggots tried to lay eggs in the ersatz apples, where they expired, their mission unfulfilled. The spheres offer as good control as do chemical sprays. In the last few years, I’ve used Tangletrap-coated real Red Delicious apples as traps. They are very red and very applelike. Hung in the branches, one per dwarf apple tree, they last almost the whole season and, when the season ends, can be composted rather than scraped clean for use the following year. Apple maggot isn’t the only remaining threat to my apples. There’s also the codling moth (the classic worm in the apple), apple scab (that’s what it looks like) and various summer rots. Oh, for the good ol’ days when the grass was greener, the corn was sweeter and apple trees took care of themselves. Mostly, the good ol’ days weren’t the various “-ers.” But one exception was the apple maggot. Two hundred years ago, Ms. Maggots didn’t look twice at apples.
This native insect was happy to attack our native hawthorns, which are related to apples. When apples were introduced to this part of the world, some apple maggot flies tried them out. Over time, some began to favor apples over hawthorns – so much so that the maggots evolved into two tribes, one favoring hawthorn and the other apples. Oh well. 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. Learn how to design a system, and participate in a hands-on installation.

TASTE Something wild Andy Brennan is on a mission to recreate America's "true cider" at the Aaron Burr Cidery
T
he story of the apple in American history is something Andy Crown Brennan knows in his bones. He’s making a living on a small orchard that has more in common with early American history than any apple orchard you’re likely to find in the region. Brennan is growing more than 50 varieties of heirloom and wild apples for drinking, not for eating. Hard cider is commercially hot right now. But Brennan’s Aaron Burr Cidery in Wurtsboro was on the scene well before the current vogue, and what he’s doing is beyond the merely fashionable. The sorts of cider that Brennan’s making on his ten-acre orchard have nothing in common with the watery stuff you can buy in a supermarket or on tap at a tavern. Brennan’s cider is created with the same care and attention to detail usually reserved for artisanal wines. The way he grows his trees, gathers his apples and makes his cider recalls the vital role that the apple once played in American life, when it was known as “the drink of patriots” – a drink that eventually became so thoroughly vilified that its manufacture was prohibited by federal law. Brennan came to wild apples by following a long and overgrown path. He grew up in Washington, DC into a family of lawyers. But rather than law school, Brennan wound up at art school, where he studied painting and tried for more than a decade to make a living as an artist.
He was introduced to the lives of apples by a friend with whom he shared a fishing shack on the edge of the Chesapeake Bay in the ’90s. Behind the shack stood an old abandoned orchard, part of a longgone-to-seed plantation. “I really loved the anthropomorphic shapes of those old trees,” Brennan recalled recently. “The apples, of course, weren’t cultivated; they were all kinds of red and yellow and green, usually scabby and deformed.” T h e plantation, and the shack, were ultimately sold and bulldozed in 2004 or 2005. But by then Brennan had met and married his wife, Polly Giragosian. The couple were living in Brooklyn in the early aughts. Brennan had taken up architectural drawing for a living. The idea to homestead in the countryside took hold; in 2006, they bought the small patch of land where the cidery now stands. (Asked why he named the cidery after the notorious vice president/duelist, Brennan noted, “Aaron Burr wrote our property deed in 1817. He was also a lawyer, as well as murderer.”) At first, when they moved to the property, Brennan expected that he could continue working as an architectural artist. Then the bottom fell out of that market with the recession of ’08. “We discovered we couldn’t be hobbyists anymore,” he said. There were about 40 cultivated apple trees on the property. Maybe their future

lay there, he thought, in the carefully laid-out rows of trees so common to the region’s landscape. Then something happened: Some uncultivated apple trees caught Brennan’s eye – trees whose gnarly golfball-sized fruit reminded him of those beauties that he used to paint along the Chesapeake. He did some research and experimenting. The cider from wild

apples could be dark amber in color, with a viscous quality that put “traditional” watery cider rendered from cultivated fruit in the shade. Different varieties of apples provided different tastes: bitter, sweet and every combination in between. New possibilities began to take root in the couple’s plans. A word here about the apple, some myths and misunderstandings: The apple is not as American as apple pie. It’s not indigenous to America. Apples originated in Asia and parts of Europe thousands of years ago. They arrived on our shores with the Mayflower. The Pilgrims planted the first appleseeds in the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1625. As the populace moved west and settled the land, cider was as common and as welcome as a glass of water, and sometimes more reliably drinkable. The autumnal harvesting of apple crops became a shared experience among farm families. “Apples were one of the glues that brought people together. Everyone had apples that they’d take to the local mill.” Cider even became a symbol of what today would be called the populist campaign of William Henry Harrison, who portrayed himself as the “log cabin and hard cider candidate” and beat out Martin Van Buren in the election of 1840. By the end of the 1800s, there were more than 14,000 distinct apple varieties to be

June 22, 2017 found across the farmsteads of America (as compared to the approximately 90 varieties grown commercially in the U.S. today). But when industrial-scale agriculture began a century or so ago, the cultivated orchards that supported those farms went wild, its trees weatherbeaten and forgotten. Then came the ax-wielding hand of Carrie Nation and her army of Temperance crusaders. The Volstead Act provided a blow to hard cider that it is only now recovered from a century later. Brennan’s wild-apple approach to making a living hearkens back to those pre-industrial days. “I’ve been planting trees all around me for years now. I visit neighbors and ask if I can harvest their trees.” Brennan pays for his harvest by sharing the resultant cider with his neighbors. He harvests apples from between four and five hundred trees on his property and his neighbors,’ while throwing seed-rich pomace about the countryside, à la Johnny Appleseed. Brennan recommends pairing cider with turkey, pork, wild game, shellfish, salads and cheeses because the drink's malic acids cut though the buttery feeling of rich foods, and its soft tannins do not dry the mouth. “I think of cider as a wine,” Brennan said. “I promise you, it’s not me who makes my cider what it is. It’s only because I serve the components as undivided equals: the trees, the fermentation and what I call the ‘cider culture’ – the community involvement. If you follow nature’s thread through all those components, the world mysteriously pays you back for your service.” If you really want to know about the wild apple and why it holds such allure for Brennan, he suggests reading Henry David Thoreau, whose essay “Wild Apples” can be found in all its glory here: http://theatln.tc/2tlAg57. The essay’s final paragraph looks backward and forward to a history that was and a history-to-come that Thoreau warned against. It also explains the passion that Andy Crown Brennan shares with Thoreau as he has followed in the great man’s meandering, wild ways: “The era of the Wild Apple will soon be past. It is a fruit which will probably become extinct in New England. You may still wander through old orchards of native fruit of great extent, which for the most part went to the cider-mill, now all gone to decay. I have heard of an orchard in a distant town, on the side of a hill, where the apples rolled down and lay four feet deep against a wall on the lower side, and this the owner cut down for fear they should be made into cider. Since the temperance reform and the general introduction of grafted fruit, no native apple-trees, such as I see everywhere in deserted pastures, and where the woods have grown up around them, are set out. I fear that he who walks over these fields a century hence will not know the pleasure of knocking off wild apples. Ah, poor man, there are many pleasures which he will not know! Notwithstanding the prevalence of the Baldwin and the Porter, I doubt if so extensive orchards are set out to-day in my town as there were a century ago, when those vast straggling cider-orchards were planted, when men both ate and drank apples, when the pomace-heap was the only nursery, and trees cost nothing but the trouble of setting them out. Men could afford then to stick a tree by every wall-
side and let it take its chance. I see nobody planting trees to-day in such out-of-theway places, along the lonely roads and lanes, and at the bottom of dells in the wood. Now that they have grafted trees, and pay a price for them, they collect them into a plat by their houses, and fence them in – and the end of it all will be that we shall be compelled to look for our apples in a barrel.” – Jeremiah Horrigan For more information about the Aaron Burr Cidery, visit www.aaronburrcider. com.

t’s rare when a trio of close friends manages to conduct business together for even a couple of years, particularly if it’s an everstressful restaurant business. Denise McCarroll, Salah Alygad and Brianne Lee have done just that since September of 2004, when the three associates working in another establishment struck out on their own. “When we came here, the restaurant was ‘rent with the option to buy.’ We didn’t have any money. I knew it would work because he’s good,” says McCarroll, talking about Chef Alygad. “But we didn’t realize it was going to work so quickly.” Alygad says that he knew it would work because of McCarroll’s and Lee’s “excellent personalities with the customer.” They knew how to talk to people and provide the best hospitality. And they were very hardworking. “When we walked in that door, I believe it was a Tuesday,” Alygad says. “I was sure we could do something. We agreed on the place; we closed on Saturday. I came in on Monday with a new menu, and we opened Wednesday. The whole operation changed in two days. I did 68 covers on the first night. It was smooth. This is from all my experience with all my other jobs. It went beautifully.” His former experience includes everything from dishwashing to shortorder cooking to salad prep to sous chef to producing banquet-sized buffets in high-end eateries of New York City. Along the way he owned his own coffeeshop and restaurant and cooked for all kinds of people. Originally from Egypt, Alygad first landed at a cousin’s home in Kentucky, where he got a job as a bellhop at a hotel. “It was quite an experience," Alygad recalls. "I was about 24 when I came. I knew nothing about the food business. I was a chemist in Egypt. When my father died, there wasn’t enough income, so I went back to the academy to learn to be a captain of a ship. I had six months left to take my exam. But when we came to port here, I decided to stay. I didn’t know if it was the right decision or a bad decision. I was young, and I just did it.” For many years, the ambitious immigrant worked in diners under talented cooks who taught him the trade,

but eventually he realized that he needed to complete his education to be the best he could be. “I went to community college to learn. Going to work for Restaurant Associates was the start of my career as a chef.” Throughout his time in kitchens at large organizations, including the United Nations headquarters, Alygad continued to learn the ropes: how to be organized and fast, how to plan for large groups. Alygad says that the food was very exotic, and the chefs he worked under were of the highest caliber. Cooking for the US Open with one such chef from Switzerland inspired him. “His hands were like gold; he touched something and it just worked," Alygad recalls. It was on this intense career path that he ended up coming to Accord and went from cooking for the likes of Bill Clinton and Yasser Arafat to the locals and weekenders of Ulster County. At Friends & Family II, the menu offers lunch and dinner entrées influenced by Alygad’s own exposure to world cuisine: delicious sandwiches and burgers, grilled and roasted meats, shellfish dishes and an array of vegetable choices. Sunday brunch is less “Continental” but starts with fresh fruit and a basket of baked goodies. “I do specials every weekend, and everything is homemade," he says. "Once a month I’ll do ethnic foods on a Thursday night: Moroccan, Asian, German, French. We’re
different than a lot of other places. This is no destination; you don’t take a walk like in Kingston and say, ‘We’ll have a little something.’ No, you have to drive here. On Fridays it’s crazy busy. Not exotic, just homey, clean and fresh. We keep it simple... I have a meat man, a vegetable man. I’ve been with these people for a long time, and they’ve gotten to know me.” Alygad is the only chef in the kitchen, although McCarroll is capable of stepping in to help. “I don’t make the recipes, but I follow directions. I work the line on Friday nights: expedite, grill, garnish. A lot of times I’m the last one who touches

Both Salah’s sons have been in and out of the business and have gone on to college. My two other daughters are servers sometimes. So it truly is a family business.” As for the “Friends,” both Alygad and McCarroll repeatedly talk about how great their customers are. “We have a wonderful clientele,” she says. "The people in the area are lovely and are truly supportive. They truly are friends. People get sent to us by strangers at gas stations."
“We have a reputation after all these years, thank God. We treat everybody that works for us like they’re our kids,” Alygad says. “Whatever I can do, I do for the town, hold meetings for the business associates; they have breakfast here. I love it more than any place I have worked in. The relationship between me and the customers – it’s good.” They talk about the ups and downs of the economy, the hurricane that blew through and slowed everything down for a while and the bouts of cancer that each of them dealt with. Through it all, and with the support of the community, they managed to transform what was once a

The paintings are from Wired Gallery. Sevan [Melikyan] changes them out regularly; he knows what we like. I’m convinced that you should let people who know what they’re doing do it. You can learn from experts. My sister, who is a retired union painter, does all my painting for me, outside and inside. We’re very lucky to be surrounded by good people.” “The food business is the toughest and the best,” says Alygad. “Tough because if something goes wrong at the table, you have to fix it right away. It’s nice because you treat the food like a baby, so it’s clean, edible, good-looking.” “It’s a life,” adds McCarroll. “We’re very grateful we can still do it, and we’ll do it with love until we can’t do it anymore.” – Ann Hutton

The nonprofit Calvert Vaux Preservation Alliance is dedicated to preserving the architectural and landscape design legacy of Calvert Vaux. Restoration of the Hoyt House (“The Point”) in Staatsburg is a major focus for the group.
HISTORY
ARCHITECTURAL FIELD SCHOOL RESIDENCY AT HOYT HOUSE IN STAATSBURG, STUDENT PRESENTATION THIS SATURDAY
A
fter languishing vacant and deteriorating for more than four decades, the 1855 Calvert Vaux-designed Hoyt House in Staatsburg has come to life again with seven students from the Boston Architectural College in residency. A Heritage Documentation class is using the Hoyt House and its surrounding historic landscape (known as the Point) as a field school for instruction in measurement, hand-drawing, photography and other technical skills. The program sponsored by the Calvert Vaux Preservation Alliance (CVPA) includes a three-day photogrammetry workshop. The students will be at the site through Saturday, June 24, when the public is invited to see their final presentations for the program. It will be held at 3 p.m. at the New York State Park Auditorium on the grounds of Norrie State Park in Staatsburg. During their stay here from June 16 to 24, the students also toured significant architectural sites related to Vaux’s seminal role in American architecture and landscape design, including New York City’s Central Park and Olana. As lead designer for Central Park and Brooklyn’s Prospect Park, as well as many notable country estates in the Hudson Valley, Vaux was the preeminent conduit for the ideas of Alexander Jackson Downing and the American Picturesque, inspiring Frederick Law Olmsted and American park, cityscape and country estate design. The residency is the result of CVPA’s efforts to explore how the Hoyt House can be used to train the next generation of architects, preservationists, landscape designers and restoration tradespeople. As the largest independent, multidisciplinary college of spatial design in the country, the Boston Architectural College offers undergrad and graduate degrees in architecture, interior architecture, landscape architecture and a wide range of allied fields, including a Master of Design Studies in Historic Preservation. The residency program using the Hoyt House as a field school offers students the opportunity to learn and practice the skills they will need in their preservation careers, says the college’s director of historic preservation, Eleni Glekas, who is leading the residency through this weekend. “The pivotal connection of Vaux’s work at Hoyt House with the rich historic resources that abound throughout the Hudson Valley makes the site especially suited as an experiential learning opportunity that is in line with the mission of the college and the historic preservation program.” The nonprofit Calvert Vaux Preservation Alliance is dedicated to preserving the architectural and landscape design legacy of Calvert Vaux. Restoration of the Hoyt House (“The Point”) in Staatsburg is a major focus for the group. Designing it in 1855 for wealthy New York merchant Lydig Monson Hoyt and his wife, Geraldine Livingston Hoyt, Vaux succeeded in merging the asymmetrical design of the house with its wooded landscape overlooking the Hudson. In the early 1960s, under the authority of Robert Moses, the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (OPRHP) acquired the house, its dependent buildings and 92 acres of grounds. Efforts to implement restoration were largely ineffective until recently. Over nearly two decades, OPRHP has sought a licensee to repair, rehabilitate and occupy the Hoyt House and barns in a manner consistent with their historic use, while preserving the architectural character. “We are grateful for the assistance that Calvert Vaux Preservation Alliance has given to raising funds for stabilizing the Hoyt House, and we look forward to their redoubled effort over the upcoming months to assist Parks in identifying an adaptive reuse project,” says Linda Cooper, director of the OPRHP Taconic Region office. “The Boston Architectural College program can help focus attention on the site’s many potentials, while helping to assemble the information that will be needed for restoration projects going forward. With the assistance of reinvigorated leadership from the state Parks Department, the CVPA – now the official ‘friends’ group of Hoyt House (since 2007) – more than $1 million of restorations to the roof, chimneys and masonry have stabilized the house. Planning is underway for the next phase of restoration and adaptive reuse.” The New York State Park Auditorium on the grounds of Norrie State Park in Staatsburg is located at 9 Old Post Road in Staatsburg. More information about the Boston Architectural College residency at Hoyt House is available by calling Kitty McCullough at (845) 380-1887 or by e-mailing info@calvertvaux.org.

ABBY HOLLANDER BAND TO PLAY ROSENDALE CAFÉ
O
nly once a year, it seems, the Abby Hollander Band returns to the upstate area for a date at the Rosendale Café, one of its favorite venues. Fortunately, it happens to be coming up, at 8 p.m. on Friday, June 30 at the Café, located at 434 Main Street in Rosendale. Hollander, a singer and multi-instrumentalist who fronts the band with a stand-up bass and features mostly her own songs, is originally from Woodstock, where she grew up listening to her parents play with Bill Keith, John Herald, Eric Weissberg and Cindy Cashdollar, among others. She spent some time in Texas absorbing the music and culture, another year or so in Spain, and has been working with some of the finest young musicians in Brooklyn in her current band. She’ll be joined by Ellery Marshall on banjo, a terrific, soulful picker. Jason Borisoff, co-founder of the Brooklyn Bluegrass Collective, plays guitar, sings harmony and co-writes songs. They’ll be joined by Jake Tilove, of the Lonesome Trio, on mandolin. The band has been featured in numerous bluegrass festivals and publications, including as emerging artists at the 2015 Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival, and Hollander herself is an award-winning songwriter. Her recordings are available for download on iTunes and Amazon, and on CD at any of the shows. Admission is $10 at the Rosendale Café, where fine vegetarian food and good fresh beer is served. But they don’t take reservations, so show up early to get a seat. That’s 8 p.m. on Friday, June 30, Rosendale Cafe, 434 Main Street. For more information, call (845) 679-9048.

Poet Donald Lev
READING
Motley rue Poet Donald Lev to read at Harmony in Woodstock
T
he very first time I attended an open poetry reading – long ago and far away, at St. John’s in the Bowery, circa 1966 – the featured poet was a blunt, bearded, gruffly good-humored New York City cabbie, whose hilariously rambling introductions to his poems were in distinct contrast to the clarity and concision of the poems themselves. Happily, they still are, because that poet, Donald Lev, is still with us. Though burdened by the myriad indignities of old age, he is essentially the same poet I met when I was 16, his eye and ear as truthfully attuned to the small revelations and unavoidable humiliations of everyday life and his humor, as always, suffused with rue.

It was that important a meeting. For many years, Lev and his late wife, the poet Enid Dame, edited and published Home Planet News, an independent literary review whose pages have featured, at one time or another, it seems, almost every terrestrial poet and a few from what the jazz comic Lord Buckley used to call the FarGone-o-Sphere. On Tuesday, June 27, Donald Lev will read from Focus and his other books at Harmony, the performance annex of the Wok ’n’ Roll Cafe on Mill Hill Road in Woodstock, at 8 p.m. Also on the bill is Frank Murphy, who co-edited the New York City Poetry Calendar for 16 years and has four books to his credit. An open reading follows the features. – Mikhail Horowitz 845-901-5330, dee@youandmeknit.com.

Animals
FOR ADOPTION- 2 sweet Cat Brothers and a loving Lab Mix. I must move because of health reasons. Please let me know if you can give my sweet boys loving homes for the rest of their lives. BOSS and KITTY are 4-year old cat brothers who love to cuddle, wrestle & sleep together. They’re very sweet, well behaved cats, neutered, up to date w/shots, litter pan trained, good w/ dogs & other cats as long as they aren’t bullies. BARRON is 3-years old, neutered & up to date w/shots. We think he’s a Lab mix, 63 pounds, loves to go on walks, hikes & enjoys play dates w/other dogs. He likes to play w/his ball and chew on bones. When he has a ball or bone in his mouth, he parades it around so everyone can see. If you’d like more information about my sweet animals, please text or call my friend at 917-282-2018 or email DRJLPK@aol. com

Why newspapers? Print is dead, right? Wrong. Studies show readers retain more of what they read in print because it’s easier to focus. Fewer distractions. The web is great for breaking news bytes, but our in-depth stories are best consumed in print. We only write about Saugerties, so every issue is bound to contain something you didn’t know about your community. You lose that sense of discovery on the web, where you’re less likely to happen on something you weren’t looking for. And while our website is too primitive for such things, many sites collect browsing data for advertising. Our ads would never be so presumptious. We print on recycled paper when possible, so it’s sustainable—and accessible to those without the Internet or iPads. ULSTER PUBLISHING
