beneath the mask, psychologists say.

Even when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to make us laugh, clowns canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but drag us down into the Uncanny Valley of fightor-flight unease.

For those of an entrepreneurial bent, such knowledge can be a goldmine come Halloweencostume time. And for Hollywood, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s irresistible.

It also makes it paradoxically difficult to come up with a genuinely scary treatment of a classic killer-clown story like Stephen Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s It. King wisely made his Pennywise prone to alter his manifestations to suit the worst nightmares of a particular intended victim: an approach that should capitalize on that very factor of unsettling unpredictability.

SCREEN

SCORE PERFORMED LIVE AT VERTIGO SCREENINGS THIS WEEKEND

I

n a novel concept reminiscent of the silent movie days, the Bard Conservatory will present a live performance of Bernard Herrmann’s famous score for Hitchcock’s Vertigo, accompanying a showing of the classic film. The performance is the brainchild of film and television director Allen Coulter, known for his work on HBO’s The Sopranos. Herrmann’s score is rarely performed live due to its length, but the Conservatory Orchestra will perform it, as its members are not limited by union overtime rules.

THIS PERFORMANCE IS Each screening will be introduced by a special local guest, who will give his or her perspective on the artistry, history and impact of Vertigo and the Hitchcock canon: the brainchild of film and television actress, director and producer Mary Stuart Masterson on Saturday, September director Allen Coulter, known for his 16 at 8 p.m. and Oscar-nominated screenwriter and producer James Schamus work on HBO’s The Sopranos. on Sunday, September 17 at 2 p.m.

Both performances take place in the Fisher Center's Sosnoff Theater on the campus of Bard College. Tickets cost $25 to $75; a $125 Upstate Films’ 45th Anniversary ticket includes a membership to Upstate Films. Tickets can be ordered online at http://fishercenter.bard.edu or by calling the box office at (845) 758-7900.

Bard College is located in Annandale-on-Hudson.

Its modus operandi is understood, the jig is up, isn’t it? If one knows one’s own fears, one knows what to expect from this antagonist. Know your enemy and be empowered!

Tastes in horror movies certainly vary, but for me, their scariness quotient is directly proportional to the obliqueness of their approach. The threat fleetingly glimpsed out of the corner of my eye is far more unsettling than the monster roaring in my face. The latter may provoke a satisfying jump scare and admiration for the craft of the film’s prosthetic makeup and CGI teams, but it’s the former that will come back to haunt my dreams afterwards.

That’s my ultimate problem with Andy Muschietti’s new big-screen adaptation of It. For all Its mutability, Pennywise (Bill Skarsgård) favors the clown costume because It’s a showman (showbeing?) at heart. It likes being in its victim’s face.

We even see Pennywise dancing on a subterranean stage at one point (albeit as weirdly, anatomically speaking, as a character in one of Terry Gilliam’s collage animations). We’ve seen extendable multipart jaws on too many movie monsters since the first Xenomorph in the Alien franchise to be more impressed by their gruesomeness than by Pennywise’s more public set of teeth, which recall Bugs Bunny in an unnerving sort of way. This is one scary clown who becomes less scary the more It emerges from the shadows.

The result is a movie that, despite its R rating (mostly for gore, but also a lot of scatological adolescent male bragging; the book’s controversial group sex scene was eliminated), provoked more laughter than shrieks from the mostly high-schoolaged audience amongst whom I viewed

it. Word has it that a surprising number of people are bringing preteen kids to see the film as well. Viewers already inured to explicit monster-munching effects may well respond more to its mordant humor than to its fright moments. In a classic horror film, that has traditionally been seen as a weakness; but horror movies aren’t really what they used to be, are they?

It boasts a few excellent, Poltergeistlevel special effects setpieces – notably a sink drain erupting copious quantities of blood, a distorted Modernist portrait come to life and a rampaging demented slide projector. But in general, the film succeeds

better when it focuses on the prosaic perils of life in a small town in Maine, as opposed to its odd pattern of periodic mass deaths and serial disappearances of children. This version mostly trades King’s evocation of Lovecraftian “New England Gothic” atmosphere (no arcane spells are recited, and Its demonic origins and other-dimensionality are glossed over) for the more mundane soul-deadening weight of navigating puberty in a workingclass Rust Belt neighborhood. Parents, when seen at all in this story, are the real monsters.

Skarsgård delivers a winningly skincrawly Pennywise (though many will still

prefer Tim Curry’s iconic turn in the 1990 TV miniseries version). Otherwise the cast consists mainly of unknowns; Finn Walthard, who plays Richie “Trashmouth” Tozier in It and has a recurring role in Stranger Things, is probably the bestknown. Relative standouts among the young actors who play the members of the Losers’ Club are Sophia Lillis as its only female member, Bev Lillis, and Jaeden Lieberher as Bill Denbrough, the elder brother of the first kid to go missing during the 1980s portion of the story. (King’s parallel narrative of the Losers’ grownup selves is being saved for a sequel.)

But the acting won’t bowl you over with its subtlety. As an ensemble, the youngsters come off like the cast of an afterschool special; their characters are rather clichéd and thinly developed (there’s the black kid, the Jewish kid, the fat kid, the hypochondriac…). The teenage town bullies and most of the adults are even more cartoonish.

When in a group, the kids chatter over one another to the point that a lot of probably funny lines are difficult to catch. And Benjamin Wallfisch lays on the gooey, manipulative, John Williamswannabe score with a trowel. Still, It supplies a crowdpleasingly good time, even if it does show way too much of the mechanics behind the stage curtain.

If you’d be disappointed to head home from the cinema with somewhat less coulrophobia than you harbored coming in, you might prefer to give this one a pass.

Starting a movement Lisa Channer channels Isadora Duncan Dancing on the Edge at SUNY-New Paltz

L

isa Channer, who grew up in New Paltz in the 1970s in a household that was a sort of hippie arts salon, experienced an epiphany in her mid-teens as a result of reading Isadora Duncan’s autobiography. It changed her path and her life. Now she’s portraying Duncan in Dancing on the Edge, a new drama by much-anthologized playwright Adam Kraar about the brief, stormy marriage of the “mother of modern dance” to Russian Imaginist poet Sergei Esenin in the early 1920s.

Dancing on the Edge had its world premiere on September 7 at the Southern Theater in Minneapolis, where Lisa heads up the baccalaureate program in Performance, Theatre Arts and Dance at the University of Minnesota. The show travels back to her hometown the weekend of September 22 and 23 for two performances at McKenna Theatre on the SUNY-New Paltz campus, in a production sponsored by the Unison Arts & Learning Center. Lisa’s husband and co-director at Theatre Novi Most, Vladimir Rovinsky, directs the play, which features text in both English and Russian. The choreography is by Jeanne Bresciani, artistic director of the Isadora Duncan International Institute.

Lisa is the daughter of SUNY-New Paltz Geography professor Harold Hudson Channer, who went on to become a pioneering producer of public access cable TV programming in the early days of portable video, and the late Eileen McLanaghan Channer, an endlessly curious and freethinking Englishwoman who was for many years assistant to the Dean of Fine and Performing Arts at the college. Lisa spent part of her toddlerhood touring South America, where her father was doing geographic research, her mother taught English and her younger brother David was born.

Upon landing in New Paltz, the Channers soon turned their home into the epicenter of a circle of artists, crazies and creative types in general, and Eileen went on to found an organization called the Arts Community, which still persists today.

Among the first of the artists giving classes through the Arts Community were Steve and Carole Ford, who taught theater arts, and Deborah Vinton, who taught ballet. Young Lisa Channer studied with both. She loved dance, but with puberty grew into a body that was more sturdy than petite; she was also diagnosed with mild scoliosis. Aside from the physical constraints, ballet’s rigorous formalism felt at odds with Lisa’s mischievous personality and feisty expressive style. Here’s how she tells the story: “My early life was, like Duncan’s, nurtured by a magical mother who gave me access to pure freedom, an absence of shame, bountiful exposure to nature and a strong community of free spirits and artists. I read Duncan’s memoir, My Life, as a 15-year-old ballet dancer and within a year, I’d taken off my pointe shoes and become a modern dancer committed to become Isadora’s ‘highest intelligence in the freest body.’” She moved on from Vinton’s company to be mentored by Livia Vanaver of the Vanaver Caravan, then went to college to pursue her parallel interest in theater.

Earning a BA in Theatre Arts from the University of Massachusetts in 1989, Lisa co-founded a feminist theatrical troupe in Northampton called Sleeveless Theatre.

She toured the country with various original productions, studied clowning at the Delle Arte School of Physical Theatre in California, went to Russia to study biomechanics (and met her future husband) at the St. Petersburg Academy of Theatre Arts. Eventually she won a coveted spot in the graduate program in Directing at Yale University, where she earned her MFA in 2001; she went on to teach at UMass, Auburn University in Alabama (where she also produced the

Birmingham Fringe Festival one year) and finally the University of Minnesota. Not bad for a SUNY-New Paltz Campus School kid.

With Rovinsky (with whom she has two sons), Lisa founded Theatre Novi Most (“New Bridge”) in Minneapolis in 1998, combining European and American stage techniques and producing plays that can take years to develop and then remain in the company’s repertory indefinitely. A 2011 Fulbright fellowship enabled Lisa to spend time in Russia researching Duncan and Esenin’s time together there, after which Theatre Novi Most commissioned Kraar to write the play. Duncan’s belief that “The day when Russia and America understand each other will mark the dawn of a new epoch for humanity” resonates powerfully with the Theatre’s cross-cultural mission.

“As we enter tech rehearsals, I’m thinking about that 15-year-old who 36 years ago read a book about a free woman in a world that keeps women chained, then stepped her bare foot on a path leading to today,” Lisa wrote last month as her passion project finally neared fruition. Plenty of people in New Paltz who fondly remember that creative local girl are eagerly awaiting her return – and the first stop in Dancing on the Edge’s first tour.

Performances of Theatre Novi Most’s original production of Dancing on the Edge, directed by Vladimir Rovinsky and starring Lisa Channer as Isadora Duncan and Sasha Andreev as Sergei Esenin, will begin at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, September 22 and 23 in McKenna Theatre on the SUNY-New Paltz campus.

STAGE Have a good laugh Woodstock Comedy Festival waxes political this weekend

L

uckily for us all, dark political times tend to make fertile soil for pithy satire. And the parade of clowns recently passing through the revolving door of the Trump Cabinet supplies a veritable goldmine of material for American comics. People who wondered how Melissa McCarthy could possibly follow up her Sean Spicer impressions once he had been ousted didn’t have to wait long for the next laughingstock to come along.

And speaking of “Laughingstock”… the fifth annual Woodstock Comedy Festival comes to town this weekend, and its presenters – sociopolitically savvy folks who use the event to raise money for Family of Woodstock and the Polaris Project, a not-for-profit that fights human trafficking – do get the joke. In fact, part of this year’s Festival is a partnership with local businesses titled “Our Economy Is a Joke” and subtitled “Buy Stuff with Jokes, Not Money.” From 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, September 16, customers can get a free giveaway just by telling a joke at Catskill Mountain Pizza, Houst & Son, Jarita’s Florist, Lily’s Boutique, Mid-Hudson Valley FCU, the Golden Notebook, the Village Apothecary, the Woodstock Emporium, the Woodstock Library or Woodstock Wine & Liquors.

As usual, the Woodstock Comedy Festival kicks off on Friday evening, September 15 at the Bearsville Theater (291 Tinker Street) with a night of standup comedy called Laughingstock! Hosted by Caroline Rhea, this year it also features Aparna Nancherla, Gina Brillon and Maeve Higgins, and introduces the winner of the Festival’s recent “Five Minutes of Fame” standup contest, Erin Maguire.

The show runs from 7 to 10 p.m., with ticket prices ranging from $20 to $50. A VIP party follows at Cucina (109 Mill Hill Road), by invitation or $20 at the door.

Saturday afternoon, September 16, features two panel discussions at the Kleinert/James Art Center (34 Tinker Street). They start off on a lighthearted

COMEDY CENTRAL

For a comic impressionist, sometimes the right subject comes along at just the right time. Comedian, writer and musician Mario Cantone (above) was already doing quite well, thank you very much, with recurring parts on Chappelle’s Show and the role of Anthony Marentino on Sex and the City, in addition to a happening Broadway career. But Cantone’s profile skyrocketed when he was tapped to impersonate the micro-tenured White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci on Comedy Central’s The President Show. Riding that spike in public awareness, Mario Cantone headlines the fifth annual Woodstock Comedy Festival on the weekend of September 15 through 17. The Festival presses numerous local venue into action. Cantone’s set, which calls upon his musical theater skillset as well as his topical impressions, will take place at the Bearsville Theater on Saturday, September 16 at 7 p.m. Tickets cost $25 to $60.

Admission to the after-party at the Commune Saloon (297 Tinker Street) costs $20. The Bearsville Theater is located at 291 Tinker Street in Woodstock. For information on all of the Festival’s venues & performers, visit www.woodstockcomedyfestival.org. – John Burdick

note at 1 p.m. with a live table reading of “The Funniest Scenes in Movies,” but quickly move on to the topical with “Comedy in the Age of T***p,” moderated

by Andy McDermott, which poses the question, “Is it okay to laugh when the world seems to be ending?” The entry fee for either panel is $10. At 5 p.m. at the Woodstock Library (5 Library Lane), things take a more serious turn as human trafficking survivor Chong Kim gives a talk and signs copies of her book Broken Silence. Admission is free.

This year’s Festival headliner, Mario Cantone, performs from 7 to 10 p.m. at the Bearsville Theater on Saturday.

Largely known as an impressionist as well as a musician, Cantone recently struck a comedy motherlode by channeling the brief White House communications director stint of Anthony Scaramucci.

Music in the Field in New Paltz on Saturday The blues, above all genres, seems to produce a profusion of hidden legends, undiscovered gems, lost and found major talents, nearly-weres and should-have-beens and reputations made after years of penury and obscurity and, often, only after death. Now, most of this is just the real-world travail of the musician, any musician; but some of it seems to come from the heart of blues mythology itself: These are exactly the kind of hard-luck stories that blues musicians always celebrate in song.

Blues guitarists Joe Louis Walker has his credentials in order. He was a close friend, bandmate and roommate of the doomed Chicago/San Francisco blues legend Mike Bloomfield. After Bloomfield’s death, the scared-straight Walker walked right away

Colony in Woodstock hosts Rough Shapes’ EP-release show

ALMANAC WEEKLY editor contributors

Proclamations of the death of the electric guitar and guitar-rock are commonplace these days. In truth, punk and indie (before we called it that) were already saying that 40 years ago, but I don’t mean to quibble on such a somber occasion. This is a time when it is safe and encouraged to crap on the electric guitar. Billboard has mostly swept guitars from its Top 100, and BK underground bands have all gone bedroom-electro, supplanting a fully dead cliché with an only-halfdead one.

Only in the backwards, large-niche worlds of country music, blues, jam and metal does the guitar maintain its primacy and the potency of its myths.

The coroner’s report will show that it died for two reasons: the Caligulan excesses and calcified clichés of shred in its many forms (very much including your bloodyknuckle punk shred) on one hand, and a super-tight vested association with the patriarchy on the other. You can barely hear a Les Paul when it is strummed

MUSIC

ETHEL’S CIRCUS: WANDERING CITY IN HUDSON

I

n a variety of ways, ETHEL is a kind of progressive string quartet, equally at ease with classical repertoire of all eras and with new music (often written expressly for ETHEL), known to dabble in rock music as well as in rock gesture.

Like so many contemporary serious music ensembles, it has shown a keen interest in world music fusions. In a telling break from tradition, ETHEL often performs music composed by its own members, aligning itself in that way with rock and jazz and with such outliers of serious 20th-century music as the Argentinian composer and bandleader Astor Piazzolla.

It almost goes without saying, then, that ETHEL is an ensemble especially congenial to multimedia collaborations, performance art and other non-traditional performance conceptions. Their 2015 record Documerica features music written by eight composers (including several ETHEL members) inspired by 3,000 environmental-themed photographs of America of the 1970s.

Next up for ETHEL is another collaboration, Circus: Wandering City, a new multimedia work inspired by the American circus and its people. Under the direction of projection designer Grant McDonald, the work combines imagery and film from the Ringling Museum’s vast archive with original music composed and performed live by ETHEL. ETHEL performs Circus: Wandering City at Hudson Hall in the Hudson Opera House on the weekend of September 15 through 17. The production has been two years in the making, which included a workshop residency last summer hosted by Hudson Hall at the Second Ward Foundation. Performances take place on Friday the 15th at 7 p.m., Saturday the 16th at 7 p.m. and Sunday the 17th at 3 p.m. Tickets cost $35, $15 for those 18 and under.

unamplified, and the culture juice has been cut off. Air guitar is actually more popular than real guitar.

Let it die, says I. Let it vacate the mainstage of pop music and go back underground to have its urgencies restored and its ego bruised and its voice renewed (but before I turn 60, please). The six-song EP Frequency & Vibration by the Rough Shapes is a strong, hastening step in the right direction. Piloted by the skilled-butnot-too-slick guitarist Jeff Kadlic (the luthier behind the Champtone brand of boutique electric guitars), the Rough Shapes are easy to mistake for a purely retro, pre-rock instrumental rock trio. The six songs alternate between a luminous, Santo & Johnny melodic dreaminess (executed with real command of jazzand Latin-inflected pop harmony) and a zesty, sinister, dark surf and rockabilly.

Both modes occupy the same ’verby space, giving the record the feel of hermetic time travel.

But it is a mistake to call it retro.

Frequency & Vibrations shares as much spirit with BK dream-pop and cinematic roots ambiance as with Dick Dale. It is immersive, minimalist, cheeky and non-binding in its referentiality: noir, Morricone, desert psychedelia, Spy and a stinging Munsterslike minor bluesiness.

It is concise, meticulous, pretty and weird.

“Last Wave” offers maybe the record’s most memorable moody melody, “Social Station” its nastiest. Songs begin with retro evocations and end somewhere else entirely.

To call Kadlic’s playing “tasty” does no justice to its wild imagination, the snaky unpredictability of his lines and the spacious depth of his layers. This record is a tour de force of understatedbut-wicked lines and tones to die for, and the guitars contain exactly zero percent shred machismo and ego. In that sense, this is democratized post-guitar rock, akin

to what was happening in Chicago in the age of Tortoise and Jim O’Rourke but more rooted in…roots.

Three old friends from the lawless river town of Saugerties, the Rough Shapes boast the super-empathic rhythm section of bassist Colin Almquist and drummer Dan Cartwright, who played together for years in the popular funk/rock band Voodelic. Their role in the Rough Shapes is comparatively yeomanlike, rarely invoking the kind of lockdown riffage and funk counterpoint that made Voodelic such a live treat. But their crisp, moody and sympathetic grooving is absolutely indispensable to the rare buoyancy of Frequency & Vibration. You gotta hear this record.

The Rough Shapes celebrate the release of Frequency & Vibration with a show at Colony in Woodstock on Thursday, September 21 at 8 p.m. Tickets cost a mere $5. Colony is located at 22 Rock City Road in Woodstock. For more information, visit www.colonywoodstock.com.

Kingston’s Shirt Factory hosts Centennial Open Studio PHOTOS OF KINGSTON'S SHIRT FACTORY BY DION OGUST

I

n celebration of 100 years of creative industry taking place within its walls, the resident artists at the Shirt Factory on Cornell Street in Midtown Kingston will hold a buildingwide Open Studio Tour this Saturday, including a special opening reception for a historical exhibit made in collaboration with the Ulster County Clerk’s Office.

The pop-up exhibit fills one room on the first floor and includes documents from the Ulster County Archives and photos from the collection of the Friends of Historic Kingston.

With a focus on the city’s longtime manufacturing tradition centered in Midtown, county clerk Nina Postupack worked with Centennial Celebration organizers to honor the past. “Kingston was a hub of industrial activity in Ulster County at the turn of the 20th century, and we are happy to be able to bring the records of this time out to the public.

They represent an important part of our shared history as Ulster County residents,” she says. Photos of unknown garment workers, mostly women, show the people who worked for various employers, starting with the F. Jacobson & Sons Company – the firm that built the factory.

An artists’ cooperative since it was purchased and refurbished by Mike Piazza in 2002, the Shirt Factory is now the hub of diverse creative endeavors where artmakers can work and live with ample space and light. It, along with Piazza’s two other converted buildings – the Brush Factory and the Pajama Factory – has become its own community. Painter Brad Kunkle is from a small town in Pennsylvania. After working in Brooklyn for seven years, he was eager to retract himself from the City’s intense bustle and find a better place to live and work.

“A building like this is not easy to find in smaller towns. It was a no-brainer for me.

I’ve been here about a year-and-a-half.”

Kunkle’s work involves applying real gold and silver leaf to oil paintings. “It’s such a beguiling material. When you use gold or silver leaf in a painting, it reflects the light you’re standing in; and then there’s the painted light that the artist has controlled. It’s a strange dimensional thing happening – sort of a surreal sense of time and space. It’s very unpredictable.

That’s the beautiful thing about it: to embrace the chaos and uncertainty and spontaneity. My painting itself is very controlled. So, using the gold and silver forces me to let go. This is just a great place to create. And the area has growing community of creative types. It’s becoming magnetic.”

Kunkle’s sentiments are echoed by other occupants of the building who appreciate the communal setting. On Saturday afternoon from noon to 5 p.m., he and 23 other artists will open their doors to the public, showing the works of the Ashware Ceramics Studio, Sergio Barrale, Leslie Bender, Amy Coté, Counterpublic Productions, Design Yourself Strong Fitness Training, Rosalie Frankel, Grace Exhibition Archive, Ann Haaland, Jennifer Hicks, Hudson Valley Pole Arts, Hudson Valley Silverworks, Innate Movement Parkour, Nina Isabelle, Kingston Ceramics, Robert Kressler, Melissa Lockwood, Physique, Piazza Pendants and Tapiwa Muronda Photography.

Nina Isabelle is a multidisciplinary artist who joined office manager/property manager/events coordinator Lisa B. Kelley and artists Ann Haaland and Leslie Bender to co-curate the event. Isabelle has been in the Factory for five years. Asked about how the exhibit was conceived, she says, “Overall, my process is intuitively allowing things to come together. When Lisa asked me to do this, I had a few ideas of whose work is in the hallway already and whose work will sort of complement that work and build a larger language by putting it all together. I thought of ‘bodies of the figure’ that Anne Haaland makes and Christina Varga’s way of searching for a visual body. What does ‘body’ mean? I think of form, then bridging that concept to the body of the building, the structure and bones of the building, the three-dimensionality of the building as it moves through space and time – through a hundred years.”

The show is a way of “forming a future while looking at the past,” she says. “Lisa and I talked for a few hours about the concept of the value of art. In Kingston, they’re rebranding Midtown as an ‘arts district.’ What is the purpose of art? When you look over 100 years, the ceaseless productivity in the building, you look at economic and social values. How has productivity progressed here? There’s been a flow of activity and production and creativity. That’s not stopping. We’re sort of theorizing that this energy is imbued

September 14, 2017 in the walls. Art can help remind us that those energies live in materiality: subtle energies that guide us.”

Ann Haaland is a returning tenant who works in acrylic and mixed-media collage. Her current focus is translating the female figure in response to what’s going on in the world. “The Shirt Factory was a place where women worked,” she says. “I’m watching the transformation of not only the building, but what’s going on in Kingston – coming back here and seeing so many artists, with such a different range of disciplines and ages. It’s so exciting to be part of that. It’s so cool to be able to have a dialogue with people.

Not that you can’t do that in other places; but in Ulster County, and in Kingston in particular, you can have conversations about different disciplines or different ways of creating an idea or an installation or doing a performance piece – and you’re heard. I don’t feel discriminated against because of my age or sex.”

Haaland notes how the influx of a vibrant art scene affects tourism, housing values and all the small ways that a local economy perks up. “My current body of work is about how women hold these memories – ideas about our culture, which transcend all else. So I’ve been interested in how the female energy is working here. Women were the garment workers, and you have all these industries where women had to go to work to support their families. We don’t know who they were, but there’s the energy of women in the building. In some way they paved the way for this to be here.”

The Centennial Celebration will have art on exhibit in every corner and nook of the building, including the hallways and in available, vacant studio spaces. In addition to Open Studio artists, pop-up artists will show their work, including Mernie Baker, Clara Diamond, Joan Ellis, Kate Hamilton, Christina Varga, Frank Young, Riva Weinstein and Jennifer Zackin.

Performances will take place throughout the day in various stairwells, open windows and in studios, exploring such themes as ideas of creative productivity; women and work; the essential and social values of art to life and community; deep listening; weaving and stitching; assembling and construction of forms.

Participating performance artists include Nurya Chana, Clara Diamond, Matthew Gioia, Nina Isabelle, Lisa B. Kelley, Stephanie Loveless, Jennifer Maharry, Linda Montano and Valerie Sharp.

Kelley came to the Shirt Factory through Pauline Oliveros and the Deep Listening Institute. “I worked for her for ten years, and we were here for about seven of those years. When I started working with Mike Piazza in 2015, I felt as though I became a steward of this building. Last year he mentioned that the building was going to be 100 years old. I said, ‘We ought to do something!’ I’ve been planting the seed for this celebration, talking with Nina and the others about these concepts around the Centennial. This event came together effortlessly.”

“A lot of synchronicity is happening here,” says Isabelle. She will be “weaving” cloth out of windows, through the halls, essentially wrapping the whole building with material – basically whatever she can get her hands on, she says. “The goal was to activate all the spaces in the building.”

Stephen Blauweiss, a filmmaker/ producer, worked on curating the County’s portion of this show. “We did a history of the building and the emergence of Midtown, and we made a film of Mike describing his vision of adaptive reuse of an artist building. I’ve been here a little over six years. It’s always a great vibe here.

Everyone’s so friendly, connected.” The reception from 5 to 7 p.m. will feature a screening of his short film.

Haitian art & handicrafts sale this weekend at Vassar The Vassar Haiti Project (VHP) will hold its annual sale of art and handcrafts from Haiti Friday through Sunday, September 15 to 17 on the second floor of the Main Building. Sale hours are from noon to 7 p.m. on Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday – with a live auction of Haitian art at 2:30 p.m. – and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sunday. Hundreds of original paintings will be offered as well as thousands of handcrafts, including handpainted silk scarves and iron sculptures.

Handcraft prices start at $5 and paintings at $50. All sales are 50 percent tax-deductible. Proceeds support numerous humanitarian programs in Chermaitre, a mountain village in Haiti unreachable by road. The event is open to the public.

Initiated by Andrew Meade, Vassar’s director of international services, and his wife Lila, the Vassar Haiti Project has raised more than $1.5 million since 2001.

The organization engages college students in a global citizenship curriculum and its fundraising sales directly support the livelihood of hundreds of Haitian artists and artisans. The organization counts on the success of its art sales to fund numerous life-sustaining projects, including a medical clinic that sees 1,000 patients per year; a 75-member women’s cooperative that makes jewelry, sews items and harvests, roasts, grinds and bags coffee for sale; education for 300 children in kindergarten through sixth grade; reforestation, with 15,000 trees planted in 2015/16; and water access and purification.

VHP makes trips twice yearly to Haiti, bringing Vassar students and other

volunteers from the Hudson Valley area.

Their experiences are reported through the Vassar Haiti Project blog at www. blogs.vassar.edu/haitiproject.

PHOTOS OF WOODSTOCK ARTISTS BY TOM LEONARD AT OPUS 40 THIS SATURDAY

R

ecently unearthed photographs by Tom Leonard depicting the working lives of Woodstock artists in the post-World War II era will be on display in the Gallery at Opus 40. The show will include 30 portraits of local artists at work and play, including Yasuo Kuniyoshi, Carl Walters and Opus 40’s own Harvey Fite, as well as other noteworthy Woodstock artists who include Arnold Blanch, Doris Lee, Herman Cherry, Wendell and Jane Jones and Tomas Penning.

The show will open with a reception on Saturday, September 16 at 2 p.m. with a discussion of Leonard’s work led by Tom Wolf, professor of Art History at Bard College. Wolf has written extensively on Yasuo Kuniyoshi and recently curated a show of Carl Walters’ work. The show will remain on view through October 30.

Leonard’s photographs of architecture and industry appeared on the covers and pages of national magazines from the early ‘40s until his death in 1957, but his greatest passion was photographing the working process and home lives of the multitude of artists who pioneered the legendary Woodstock artists’ colony from the 1920s into the postwar era. Tad Richards, Fite’s stepson, who now serves as Opus 40’s executive director, says that the photographs “provide a fascinating through-line, a look at the artistic DNA that throve in Woodstock then and still burns brightly today.”

Opus 40 is located at 50 Fite Road. Gallery hours are Thursday to Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Admission costs $10. More information is available by calling (845) 246-3400 or visiting www.opus40.org.

Gestures such as weeding a garden, dropping off an heirloom tomato sandwich, seeing a movie, sending a card, sharing photos of your summer travels, simply sitting and drinking tea together – those are examples of caring gestures that convey sentiments that may be difficult to put into words.

o you remember this Mr. Rogers quote? “When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.’” Our kids are seeing all kind of images from the recent wildfires out West and hurricanes down South, but the part that seems to touch many people’s hearts is the footage showing wild and domestic animal rescues. Here’s an event that can bring that piece close to home for all ages!

On Saturday, September 16 at 10:30 a.m. at the FASNY Museum of Firefighting, make a plan to bring your crew to “Smokey Bear and his Forest Friends.” Your kiddos will have a chance to meet Smokey, along with some of his real wildlife animal buddies, and learn how to help keep them safe during fires! Activities include a demonstration by a forest ranger on firefighting equipment, making a Smokey Bear craft and taking a photo with Smokey himself! This event is open to the public of all ages.

Be sure to spend some time in the museum afterwards, which features a number of children’s emergency-prevention stations.

The cost is $10 for adults, $5 for children ages 3 and older, $25 for the family rate of two adults and two kids, and free for children under 3, FASNY members and on this Super Saturday, residents of Columbia County.

TASTE It’s not easy being green Aroma Thyme Bistro chef serves sustainable, socially responsible meals and libations in Ellenville, but it takes a lot of work

A

s the first Certified Green Restaurant in upstate New York, Jamie and Marcus Guiliano’s Aroma Thyme Bistro in Ellenville has long emphasized pure ingredients and an innovative and healthful menu. Avoiding the use of butter and heavy dairy products, white flour and refined sugar, chef Marcus Guiliano

“No matter what diet it is, you want real food.” serves up food that pleases vegans, carnivores and everyone in between.

He began his career cooking at various hotels and restaurants: the Depuy Canal House, the Greenbrier, the Broadmoor.

He worked for Pierre Koffman at La Tante Claire in Europe.

“All this experience taught me how to cook great-tasting food, which was slowly killing me,” says Guiliano. “Overweight, plagued with high cholesterol and 28 years of asthma and facing an operation for acid reflux, a whole-foods diet changed my life. I wanted to bring this knowledge to what we did in the restaurant.” Thus, the couple’s mission to offer gourmet, sustainable, socially responsible cuisine came into being.

Aroma Thyme Bistro also offers more than 250 independent craft beers and 300 independently produced spirits and wines from all over the world. “The extensive bar

“We don’t want to sell you something from a national or international conglomerate that doesn’t care about our community, doesn’t care about the environment or their employees," says Chef Marcus Guiliano of Aroma Thyme Bistro in Ellenville. “We just can’t support a company that does that. We’ve seen it in Ellenville. Even if 12 people lose their job here, that’s an impact.”

selections shock everyone,” says Guiliano.

How did you end up in Ellenville?

We’re originally from Ellenville; Jamie and I were high school sweethearts. When we had kids, we moved back from Colorado. Family is very important to us, and both of our parents still live here. We were living here, and Elliott Auerbach, the Ulster County comptroller, said, “You’re the person to open a restaurant here. We need you.” He bought the building and leased it to us, helped us out.

What do you call your décor?

We have a lot of vintage stuff in the restaurant. These bricks [Hutton Bricks] are from a building right on this street. A person was knocking them down two years ago, and I said,

These days there are so many ideas of what is good to eat and what’s not. How do you incorporate all of this into your menu?

I’ve tried to reduce, but not avoid gluten altogether, unless a customer requires it. We have a conversation to find out if it’s an allergy or a preference.

At that point, we make sure their food is totally segregated out of the kitchen, and that we’re not working on anything else at the time. We take care.

The biggest thing is, people are after real food. No matter what diet it is, you want real food â&#x20AC;&#x201C; whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re vegan or vegetarian or paleo. You want betterquality meat and vegetarian food. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the whole premise. Even if you do eat sugar, you want a better sugar: organic sugar, coconut sugar, organic local maple syrup. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about real food, real producers.

Are we perfect? No. We are very conscious. We even balance the social aspects of the food. For example: quinoa.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very healthy food, comes organic.

But the way itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s marketed globally has jacked the price up so high for the locals, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve robbed the South Americans of their main source of nutrition. We solved that problem in 1997-98 by buying quinoa from America. You need special equipment to take the saponin off it. You and I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just go grow a crop and eat it. You have to have the machinery that will take it off.

We buy our quinoa from Colorado.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been on the farm many times. We have a relationship. Their quinoa has been twice the price all along. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what you have to do to offer socially responsible food.

Distributors, packers will substitute products all the time. You have to be really careful. Even the big organic packers: They source the cheapest organic product they can at the time. They make sure itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s organic by somebodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s standards and put a label on it. I feel uncomfortable with that. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d rather buy canned tomatoes from Jersey year-round. They might not be organic, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re local and the same quality.

Sometimes farmers do a better job without the restrictions. For our Green certification, for example, we use a hand soap that is a super-clean product. And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s made by an independent company. The Green Restaurant Association doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like it because it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t meet their criteria.

Part of their criteria is you have to pay $2,500 to get certified. I said I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want the points for my hand soap; I want to keep buying from Jerry and Susan, who own the company in LA, who have their family grow the product in Australia, the tea tree oil. I can call him anytime, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll talk me through the science of everything they make. I could go to Home Depot or Staples and buy a product thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on the approved list. But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to Staples.

Napa, El Dorado: all small producers.

We decided to put our own trip together.

We have 22 people booked to go to Italy.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a chance to have an in-depth wine tour, like having backstage passes. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll meet the families who make the wine in their houses, villas, on their property. Some have tasting rooms, and some, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be sitting on their porch drinking.

Our premise is â&#x20AC;&#x153;real food, great bar.â&#x20AC;? We pride ourselves in supporting the truly independent companies. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to sell you something from a national or international conglomerate that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care about our community, doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care about the environment or their employees.

We just canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t support a company that does that. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen it in Ellenville. Even if 12 people lose their job here, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an impact.

Given that you stand for integrity, in 14 years has it ever been difficult for you to maintain those standards?

It was a challenge in the very beginning, and we werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as strict. It all happened because when we got our liquor license, we had Absolut, Grey Goose, Ketel One. And next to these, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have three small local vodkas from California or Tuthilltown â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and they

werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t selling. And they were getting higher ratings than the other vodkas.

So we made a choice not to sell a big brand name.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had people get up and leave because they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a Jack and soda. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even have soda! You can get it at any restaurant. Initially, it did hurt business. Some people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get it. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Your foodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so expensive.â&#x20AC;? I had to

It sounds like you need a staff person researching all the time.

Which is me. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s constant research.

We go to trade shows where you find the really cool new innovative stuff like cactus water, which is just as good and healthy as coconut water. We go to the organic shows that really fit our niche. And the mainstream shows are now flooded with organic and sustainable and grass-fed and wild. People are understanding the importance of it now.

Í&#x203A;,

I noticed on your website that you use Young Living natural oils.

We use them for a couple different recipes, and we use the lemon oil in our tap water. Certain sauces are made with ginger oil, lemon, lime. The lime oil makes a great crème brÝlÊe. When you zest a citrus fruit, you have to contend with using the rest of the fruit.

They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get used, tossed. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our answer.

I was first introduced to the oils through alternative health. I did a lot of research back in the early 2000s. More companies out there are doing it right, but the consumer has to know that they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just pick up any essential oil and put it in food. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not all food-grade.

Anything new?

There are always new things. We now do travel trips to Italy. Our first one is kicking off this fall. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re so in tune with who we buy from that there are no big brands behind the bar or in the kitchen. Even our salt and our sugar â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we know the owners. We travel a lot to vineyards in the Finger Lakes,

explain the whole social impact of food and the ingredients we use. The crabs youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re eating at the Chinese restaurant are probably from the Mekong Delta for a dollar each. Cheaper food is not a better value. Our prices arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t out of line. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about customer expectations.

I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t support a big company. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give them our money. I want to be able to call someone on the phone and know

NIGHT SKY

Equivocally equinoctial The first moment of fall

T

he Autumnal Equinox takes place on Friday afternoon, September 22nd, at 4:02 p.m. At that moment, Earth will angle perfectly sideways to the Sun. Neither pole will tip toward or away from that favorite star of ours. And therefore, as the media never tire of reminding us, days and nights should theoretically be equal.

We’ve often pointed out that this is never true. The air bends the Sun’s image so much that it rises two or three minutes earlier and sets that much later than it would on an airless world, and those extra five minutes of daily undeserved sunshine push the true date of equality to the middle of the following week.

And even then, it’s not strictly accurate to say day and night are equal, because of twilight. The brightest part of dusk is called “civil twilight” – not because people are suddenly more civil to each other, but because most municipal ordinances do not require streetlights to be on until the end of civil twilight, which around here happens a half-hour after sunset.

Next comes nautical twilight, which is still fairly bright. When it ends, a mariner can no longer distinguish the horizon. The line separating the sky from the sea is gone. The final, darkest variety of twilight, called astronomical twilight, brings us to true night.

If useful daylight ends with nautical twilight, and we add in those daily bright-butnon-sunny periods at both dusk and dawn, we find that at our region’s latitude we don’t have equal day and night until November 10. So we get more actual night than daylight for just three months: from then until mid-February.

But never mind the equality business; a more precise equinox event is that this weekend

A more precise equinox event is that this weekend the Sun rises and sets exactly in the east and west, not southeast or northwest or anything else.

where our money is going and get an invite to the distillery and the brewery.

They see that we support their brand, and they say, “Why’s this little restaurant in upstate New York buying so many bottles of our cognac? What are they doing? What’s so special up there? Why can’t other restaurants sell as much of our cognac as they’re selling?” Because the Courvoisier and Hennessey is right next to it on the shelf.

So, is there a distributor who delivers all these different brands?

We go through about 20 different distributors. It’s a logistical nightmare.

Some are self-distributed. When you find something that’s cool and exciting – even if we’re driving to the Finger Lakes and we find a whiskey that they don’t distribute in our area – we go through the legal wholesale regulations so we can pick up a case. And when it’s gone, it’s gone.

the Sun rises and sets exactly in the east and west, not southeast or northwest or anything else. Sunset will then point the way to places due west of here, like Milwaukee. And the sunrise point will show the precise direction to Boston or, if you have major creditors, Corsica. This directionality is far more accurate than a compass, which around here wrongly indicates north to be 13 degrees left (west) of where it actually lies.

Another equinox phenomenon is that this weekend the Sun moves in a laser-straight line across the sky. A time exposure shows this nicely. By comparison, for the past six months the Sun’s path has displayed an upward curve, concave to the north, like a giant smile. Starting on Saturday its track across the sky bends like a rainbow, with the concave part aimed downward.

As for eggs balancing on Saturday but at no other time, that’s just plain silly. Why should the laws of gravity be repealed just because the Sun illuminates both poles equally that day?

If you take this equinox business so seriously that you have an equinox-obsessive personality (which psychologists call EOP), you’ll pause at 4:02 p.m. Friday and contemplate the equality – as our beloved Sun pauses momentarily, balanced and motionless, before lunging headlong toward the Northern winter.

ALMANAC WEEKLY (By that time, Bates noted in the article, his business was in decline, thanks to integration. He lamented that fact that, though whites visited his club and bar, “not one will stay in my rooms.”)

Dr. Gretchen Sorin will offer a fascinating context for the Bates Country Club and other black tourism spots in the Catskills with an upcoming lecture, “Navigating Segregation: African American Tourists in Upstate New York and Beyond,” that sheds light on the indignities, hardships and prejudice suffered by traveling African Americans from the 1930s to the mid-1960s. The lecture will be presented on Friday, September 15 at 7 p.m. at the Dutch Reformed Church in Accord, located at 5142 Route 209. It is sponsored by the

September 14, 2017 Friends of Historic Rochester and the Town of Rochester Historic Preservation Commission.

Sorin has worked as a museum consultant for more than 30 years and is director and distinguished professor at the Cooperstown Graduate Program, one of the leading training programs in the country for museum curators, educators and directors. She is currently collaborating on a film with Ric Burns’ production company, Steeplechase Films, that has the working title Driving while Black, which is an outgrowth of her PhD thesis focusing on the experience of African Americans on the road during the era of Jim Crow.

Sorin will be accompanied by Rene Bailey, the talented and moving gospel singer who was the house singer at the Peg Leg Bates Country Club for many years, and Connie Beckley, who currently owns the Wicky Wacky Club, an African American resort located in High Falls; Beckley interviewed proprietor Vi Ferguson before she died and will talk about the resort’s early years. Bailey, who recently performed at Kingston’s Midtown Arts District’s “Celebration of the Arts” concert on August 3, will perform a few songs from her repertoire.

It may be a surprise to some to learn that stringent segregation practices for travelers occurred not only in the South, but also in the North. While there may not have been any “Whites Only” signs, in the North “it was de facto segregation; it was understood African Americans were not welcome at mainstream white-owned resorts,” said Sorin in a phone interview.

ALMANAC WEEKLY

September 14, 2017 “They had their own places. In between, they had to transverse these white spaces, where they were not welcome.”

If a black ventured off the segregated beach at Atlantic City, for example, into the white section, “the police might come or people might say terrible things to you or throw rocks at you,” Sorin said. It wasn’t until the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which followed the Supreme Court decision declaring segregation of public schools to be illegal in 1954, that the situation began to change. Ultimately, legal challenges brought by the NAACP against the segregationist practices of Hilton and Howard Johnson’s were successful, Sorin said.

“That does not mean that people immediately threw open their doors and welcomed African Americans,” she added. “Certainly not. You might go to a hotel and be told, ‘We just rented the last room,’ or ‘I’m sorry, we don’t have a reservation for your dinner so we can’t seat you,’ and how would you know if that was true?” But it did mean that separately designated sections of restaurants, clubs, libraries, hotels and other businesses and

institutions catering to the public were outlawed, which paved the way for change.

Blacks weren’t entirely alone: In the resort industry, anti-Semitism was also prevalent, although it might at times be more subtle, since “you couldn’t always tell who was Jewish,” said Sorin. “If someone called for a reservation and had a surname the hotel staff thought was Jewish, you might be discriminated against.”

Sorin examines the period when the growth of an African American middle class following the Depression spurred more black people to travel for pleasure.

“The government encouraged African Americans to travel, because it meant more money spent, which boosted the economy,” she said. To find a place to stay, people would write letters to the National Urban League or the NAACP for recommendations. Mostly, this was by word-of-mouth, and initially it would be in a tourist home, where the owner – usually a woman – would rent a room in her home. Or people would contact a black church in the area they were traveling to and either stay in the pastor’s home or get a recommendation from the pastor of a

place to stay. “It was a network of people operating through word-of-mouth who were finding places for blacks to stay,” she said.

Guidebooks were published for African American travelers, including a series called the Green Book, which was published from 1936 to 1966 and listed tourist homes, guesthouses, motels, nightclubs and restaurants.

Travelers were encouraged to contact the publisher if they’d had a good experience at a lodging or restaurant, which would then be listed. The Green Book, which

started in the metro New York City area, eventually expanded nationally and even internationally. Sorin said that there was also an exceptional guidebook “that worked really hard to include places of integration in the late 1950s and early ‘60s, run by people of good will.”

Two corporations stood out as relatively forward-thinking: In the 1930s and 1940s, Seagram’s and Esso (which later became Exxon) began hiring African Americans as a way to market their products and services to blacks, which the companies viewed as a profit opportunity. Nonetheless, the black members of the corporate teams themselves had to find alternative housing when they were on the road; while their white colleagues stayed at the Hilton, they had to spend the night in a tourist home.

Ditto for the traveling black entertainers and black members of traveling baseball teams, prior to Jackie Robinson finally breaking the color barrier – in sports as well as in the hospitality industry: In the 1950s, according to Wikipedia, he “openly criticized segregated hotels and restaurants that served the Dodger organization; a number of these establishments integrated

as a result, including the five-star Chase Park Hotel in St. Louis.”

These professional people “didn’t want to say in a tourist home,” said Sorin. There were some black-owned hotels, including the Theresa in Harlem and the Majestic, which opened in Ohio in the 1940s.

However, in some communities there were simply no options for blacks – not even a tourist home. That meant “African American traveling performers had a really hard time,” Sorin said. After performing for a white audience, “they might end up sleeping in their car or driving late at night to their next gig. Sometimes they got into car accidents.”

Before hitting the road, the performer might “go to the back door and get a sandwich, although you never knew if someone had spit into their sandwich.”

Sometimes a non-racist white person might step in to help: Sorin recounted the time Marian Anderson performed at Princeton and ended up staying at Albert Einstein’s house when there was no place in the area that would accommodate her.

Sorin herself recalled the “peculiar” travel practices of her parents, who, while she was growing up in the 1950s and 1960s, would drive the family from their home in New Jersey down to Fayetteville, North Carolina for a week each summer to visit Sorin’s grandparents. “My father would just drive straight through” without stopping overnight, she recalled. Her mother would pack up a green Coleman cooler, and the family would picnic by the roadside, never stopping at a restaurant. On the way back, her grandmother would pack up the same cooler. “You’re in this bubble, which is your car, and you just stay in it to go from safe place to safe place,” she said.

During those years of segregated travel, needless to say even buying gas could be a fraught experience. The attendant “wanted your money and so they would sell you gas, but they wouldn’t be willing to touch your hand and you had to drop your money on

the counter,” she noted. Blacks couldn’t use the toilets. The exception was Esso, which welcomed African Americans and allowed people to use their bathrooms. “My father always bought Esso gas, and there were black-owned Esso gas stations,” she said. Esso was one of the companies that was originally part of Standard Oil, and she speculates that its liberal policy might have derived from John D. Rockefeller’s commitment to racial equality, which was rooted in his religious conviction as a Northern Baptist. (Rockefeller funded Spelman College, a female seminary for women of African descent, among other initiatives supporting black education and civil rights.)

Being on the road as an African American could also be perilous. “I interviewed a woman whose father got really nervous about the police when they drove outside of Boston and even in the city. His wife was light-skinned, and he was afraid people would think she was white,” she said, noting that groups of multiracial people in cars would get stopped in the South, unless the black person was the chauffeur. “You did have to be careful everywhere, unless you were in a safe community, which was a black community or black-owned resort.”

MHV Gem & Mineral Society show in Poughkeepsie Remember the feeling of awe and wonder that came over you the first time you visited the Hall of Gems and Minerals at the American Museum of Natural History, home of the Star of India and the DeLong Ruby? Did you never quite outgrow your childhood compulsion to bring home interesting rocks from every place you visit?

Are there still geodes, crystals and fossils gathering dust on your mantelpiece, a string of semiprecious stones adorning your wrist, a basket of heartshaped rocks gracing your coffeetable,

smooth, colorful riverstones outlining your flowerbeds?

If so, don’t keep it all to yourself. This weekend offers your best annual local opportunity to pass on that familiar fascination with the myriad beauties of geology to some young person or persons of your acquaintance. The Mid-Hudson Valley Gem & Mineral Society, Inc. will be hosting its 48th annual Gem, Mineral, Fossil & Jewelry Show & Sale at Gold’s Gym in Poughkeepsie from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, September 16 and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday the 17th.

This year’s show will spotlight garnets as gemstones. Rumor has it that tawny port and burgundy are hot colors on the runways for this coming fall and winter, so you might want to grab this opportunity to accessorize with some coordinating garnet jewelry!

Lapidarists will be on hand to demonstrate how they cut, polish and set gemstones, and there will be plenty of unusual handcrafted jewelry for sale by more than 25 dealers.

If you’re more jazzed by hard science than high fashion, the Gem & Mineral Show will lure you in with information displays and specimens from the Vassar Geology Museum, as well as exhibits of rocks with veins of fluorescent minerals glowing under black lights.

This is an irresistible event for kids: Little ones can collect six free rocks apiece at “Glitter Mountain,” and there’s a special scavenger hunt for high schoolers from high schoolers from the mid-Hudson Valley. And who doesn’t enjoy feasting their eyes on meteorites, samples of exquisitely carved jade, hand-flaked arrowheads, insects forever trapped in amber?

Admission to the Gem, Mineral, Fossil & Jewelry Show & Sale costs $5, $4 for seniors, $2 for students; children under age 12 get in free. Gold’s Gym is located at 258 Titusville Road in Poughkeepsie.

Yvonne Rainer’s Lives of Performers at Rosendale Theatre (10/8, 2pm).

How provocative is your art? Lives of Performers (1972) will be screened in conjunction with the exhibition Artists as Innovators: Celebrating Three Decades of New York Council on the Arts / New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowships at the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art. Lives of Performers was inspired by Hollywood film, but true to Rainer’s Postmodern creed, it was anticonventional in its narrative. Telling the story of a man caught in love with two women, his inability to make a choice, and the suffering that results. In B & W and influenced by the work of John Cage, a portion of the film is in silence and in tribute to the Silent Era of film inter-titles are prominently featured.

Originally shot on 16 mm film, Lives of Performers was written and directed by Rainer, with cinematography by Babette Mangolte. Running time is roughly 90 minutes. $12, $6/12 & under. Theatre is located at 408 Main Street, Rosendale.

PRAYER TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN. (Never known to fail.) Oh, most beautiful flower of Mt. Carmel, fruitful vine splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son of God. Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity. Oh, Star of the Sea, help me and show me herein you are my mother. Oh, Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth! I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in this necessity. There are none that can withstand your power. Oh, show me herein you are my mother. Oh Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee (3x). 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. You who gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me and that in all instances in my life you are with me, I want in this short prayer to thank-you for all things as you confirm once again that I never want to be separated from you in eternal glory. 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.
