MOVIE

Richard Linklater’s Last Flag Flying, starring Steve Carell, Bryan Cranston and Laurence Fishburne, will be screened on Friday, October 13 at 8:30 p.m. ($10/ticket) at the Rosendale Theatre and on Saturday, October 14 at 9:30 p.m. ($12/ticket) at the Woodstock Playhouse..

Woodstock Film Festival, Oct. 11-15 Premieres in Woodstock, Kingston, Rhinebeck, Saugerties & Rosendale; Susan Sarandon to be honored

T

he Woodstock Film Festival (WFF) runs from Wednesday to Sunday, October 11 to 15, and tickets to screenings and events are on sale now at the box office at 13 Rock City Road in Woodstock, by calling (845) 810-0131 or online at www.woodstockfilmfestival. com/festival2017.

As usual, the “fiercely independent” lineup of offerings at the 18 th annual iteration of WFF is an embarrassment of riches. It will feature four world premieres, five North American premieres, one US premiere, 20 East Coast premieres and 10 New York premieres. Some of the films are directed by familiar names or star familiar actors; many others will be your introduction to some obscurebut-delicious corner of the cinematic universe.

The winner of the 2017 Maverick Award will be Susan Sarandon. Also on tap to be honored on Saturday night at BSP in Kingston are Bill Pullman for Excellence in Acting and legendary agent/producer Shep Gordon with the Trailblazer Award. Pullman stars with Kathy Baker and Peter Fonda in Jared Moshè’s The Ballad of Lefty Brown, which gets its East Coast premiere at the Woodstock Playhouse on Saturday morning and screens again on Sunday afternoon at the Rosendale Theatre.

Among the other thespian known quantities whose work will be on view at WFF 2017 are the amazing J. K. Simmons, Best Supporting Actor winner for his turn as the music teacher from Hell in Whiplash; he gets to play a nice guy in Kurt Voelker’s The Bachelors. Stanley Tucci, Kyra Sedgwick and Janeane Garofalo all appear in Richard Levine’s Submission, based

on Francine Prose’s novel Blue Angel.

Giancarlo Esposito plays a mysterious homeless man in Michael Berry’s Stuck, a musical narrative about a group of six strangers trapped together on a stalled New York City subway car. Its East Coast premiere will kick off the festival Wednesday evening at the Woodstock Playhouse, along with a live performance by operatic soprano Sarah Joy Miller, star of the short film A Hand of Bridge.

The “centerpiece films” of this year’s WFF are The Square, from Swedish director Ruben Östlund, and Richard Linklater’s Last Flag Flying, starring Steve Carell, Bryan Cranston and Laurence Fishburne. Sunday’s closing night film is Arthur Miller: Writer, a biographical documentary directed by the playwright’s daughter, Rebecca Miller. There does seem to be a generational thing going on here, with Griffin Dunne contributing a memoir of his aunt, Joan Didion: The Center Will Not Hold and an environmental documentary by Robert Redford’s son James titled Happening: A Clean Energy Revolution.

That’s just the tip of the iceberg.

There are panel discussions, programs of shorts and animation, a Spotlight on Women in Film and Media featuring 18 female directors, six LGBTQ Focus films, three Dutch films, music films, films made in the Hudson Valley.

And on and on and on. Films screen at various venues in Woodstock, Rhinebeck, Kingston, Rosendale and Saugerties, with ticket prices for most events ranging from $10 to $25. Visit www.woodstockfilmfestival.com for the mind-bogglingly full schedule.

B

attle of the Sexes, the new film directed by Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris (Little Miss Sunshine), tells the story of how and why 29-year-old tennis great Billie Jean King decided to accept the taunting challenge by 55-yearold fading champion Bobby Riggs to a one-on-one match in 1973, intended to demonstrate that women were constitu-

tionally incapable of beating men on the court. Though arguably flawed insofar as its sociopolitical message is overly explicit and belabored, it’s a breezy, compelling crowdpleaser of a movie that should hook in all the daughters and parents of daughters who were so inspired by last year’s Hidden Figures.

The challenge with making a based-onfacts movie like this is how to ratchet up suspense and emotional engagement when the audience knows the outcome: King (Emma Stone) clobbered Riggs (Steve Carell), so handily that there was much speculation afterwards that he might have taken a dive in order to wriggle out from under his heap of gambling debts. He had, after all, recently beaten Margaret Court (Jessica McNamee), who had recently beaten King. But, to the degree that Battle

of the Sexes is about tennis, it’s about the politics and the psychology of the sport.

Billie Jean was at the top of her game in those years, while Bobby by then was substituting v i t a m i n megadoses for hard training.

And as this movie admirably illustrates, both of them, along with Court, were greatly impacted in their play by the baggage of their personal lives.

We also know now that King and Riggs became close friends following the grudge match, and that his parading

Over-the-top sexism apparently still doesn’t hurt one’s election chances, so maybe we haven’t really come such a long way, baby.

as a “male chauvinist pig� was largely a public relations stunt – as were most of his games in the sunset days of his tennis career, in which he typically played in outlandish c o s t u m e s , walking dogs, riding a sheep or substituting a frying pan for a racquet. Though channeling the character’s obnoxious public persona to the hilt, Carell also affords us glimpses into his rather woebegone home life, where his gambling addiction has become an outlet for the frustration he feels over having been supported by his wealthy in-laws for years. We see him in a sympathetic light any time he’s with young children, showing a genius for distraction and imaginative play, and when he tries, in a bumbling-but-sincere way, to win back the affections of his estranged wife Priscilla (Elisabeth Shue).

Billie Jean’s primary adversary here is actually the old-boy tennis establishment, personified by promoter Jack Kramer.

Bill Pullman, who’s about to receive the Maverick Award for acting at this year’s Woodstock Film Festival, pulls out all the stops as a cold-blooded, patronizing sexist standing dead in the way of women’s progress in the sport. Some of the lines

NIGHT SKY

Methane Blue flames and the green planet

I

first explored this compound six-and-a-half years ago, but it’s worth a second look. For when the universe’s first- and fourth-most-abundant elements combine, the result is often a gas that, surprisingly, has recently cleaned up our air. It’s methane. Most folks call it natural gas. It’s also known as marsh gas and swamp gas, since it’s released by decomposing plants.

It has generated some local controversy because of vast methane reserves 8,000 feet below south-central New York and northern Pennsylvania: the Marcellus shale.

Using the technique of hydrofracking, companies are extracting it very profitably – but not in New York, where fracking is not permitted. Because of this cheap extraction, it is steadily replacing coal as the source of US electrical generation.

Indeed, in 2008 coal-burning generated 50 percent of the nation’s electricity. Last year coal was down to just 35 percent.

And since coal is so incredibly dirty, the air is now much cleaner. That’s right, wrap your head around this: Fracking – even more than growing solar and wind utilization – is responsible for reduced carbon emissions and cleaner air to date.

Some are so opposed to methane that they cannot bring themselves to call it natural gas without putting the “natural” in quotes, which looks silly. In reality, natural gas creates about 30 percent less carbon dioxide than oil, and about 45 percent less than burning coal.

This makes sense. Methane is CH4, meaning it has only a single carbon atom mixed with its four hydrogen atoms, and it is the latter that mostly creates the energy. By comparison, coal is a mixture of compounds and thus does not have a single formula, but if you considered it as an aggregate, it would be something like C135H96O9 – meaning that it has lots more carbon than hydrogen, much of which gets released as soot and CO2.

Methane is abundant on Jupiter and Saturn. On Uranus, it’s responsible for that world’s green color, since the gas absorbs the Sun’s red light but lets the green and blue bounce back to our eyes. Through binoculars, it’s therefore easy to see the fingerprint of this gas in space. In two weeks, on October 19, Uranus, in Pisces, will be at its closest to Earth and can actually be faintly glimpsed by the naked eye! I haven’t seen it naked-eye since the 1970s, so I’m looking forward to seeking it out this coming week, when the Moon will have left the area, leaving the required black skies.

Misconceptions abound. Most people think methane is the major component of flatus (the technical term for the gas expelled when you “pass wind”). If you’ve ever put a match to your flatus (presumably as an adolescent, and more likely if you are male), it was indeed methane that caused the burst of blue flame. However, flatus (okay, fart gas) is mostly non-flammable nitrogen and carbon dioxide. Methane is no more than ten percent. Nearly half of all adults have so little of it in their flatus that they would not be able to set it aflame. Which group are you in, do you suppose?

Cows, too, have had unfair bad press about methane. While livestock are indeed

that he’s given by screenwriter Simon Beaufoy (The Full Monty, Slumdog Millionaire) are so over-the-top that, even if you were around back then, they seem head-shakingly difficult to believe. Then again, over-the-top sexism apparently still doesn’t hurt one’s election chances, so maybe we haven’t really come such a long way, baby.

What’s also rattling Billie Jean, once the first renegade women’s tennis tour sponsored by Virginia Slims cigarettes gets underway, is the realization that she is more sexually attracted to a woman, hairdresser Marilyn Barnett (Andrea Riseborough), than to her

responsible for about 20 percent of the world’s methane emissions, fully 90 to 95 percent of that is released from their noses and mouths. This is the notorious “cow breath” that sometimes spoils first dates among livestock. Only five or at most ten percent gets expelled from the part that doesn’t say “Moo.” I know what you’re thinking: “Berman is losing it! Methane actually has no smell at all!” And you’d be correct. When you smell “sewer gas” because of some backup in your septic system, the gas is indeed mostly methane, but the smell comes from minor components like hydrogen sulfide. We wouldn’t want to give swamp gas a bad rap.

partner Rosie Casals; Alan Cumming is a delight as Ted Tinling, King’s friend, confidant and costume designer; and Sarah Silverman steals every scene in which she appears as Gladys Heldman, World Tennis Magazine publisher and den mother of the Virginia Slims Tour (which later evolved into the Women’s Tennis Association).

Battle of the Sexes is briskly paced and beautifully shot and cut, with some of the best handheld camerawork that I've seen in a while, especially in the tennis match scenes – which, yes, are successfully rendered as nailbiters, despite the ink already being dry in the record books.

highly supportive husband Larry (Austin Stowell). In real life, her lesbian inclinations dawned on King much earlier; but for dramatic impact, the movie telescopes time, as movies are wont to do.

It’s in these scenes of internal struggle that Stone really gets to shine, showing us the more vulnerable side of the character in sharp contrast to the powerhouse that she was on the tennis court, driven by her commitment to excellence.

Though this is primarily Emma Stone’s movie, and a most worthy addition to her filmography, other actors deserve special mention as well. Natalie Morales strikes sparks as King’s wisecracking doubles

leading light of the Color Field school of Abstract Impressionism, Helen Frankenthaler (1928-2011) valued immediacy in her art.

“A really good picture looks as if it’s happened at once,” she told her biographer, Barbara Rose. “One really beautiful wrist motion that is synchronized with your head and heart, and you have it.”

Frankenthaler turned the New York art scene on its head in 1952 with an unusually delicate nonrepresentational painting titled Mountains and Sea, inspired both by the Nova Scotia coastline and by Joan Miró’s experiments with what eventually became known as “soak-stain” technique. By diluting oil paint with copious amounts of turpentine and painting directly onto unprimed canvas, Frankenthaler discovered that she could create ethereal images in oil that looked more like watercolor wash. Morris Louis and Kenneth Noland, among others, followed in her footsteps Soak-stain painting made Frankenthaler’s international reputation, but she soon moved on to other techniques and media. She took up lithography with Tatyana Grosman in the 1960s and woodcuts with Kenneth E. Tyler in the 1970s, seeking to evoke in the more static and labored arts of printmaking the same spontaneous, ephemeral feel that characterized her painting style.

The results of these explorations aren’t often viewable gathered in one place; but a Portland, Oregon-based collector named Jordan D. Schnitzer has amassed more than 10,000 art prints, including a fair few of Frankenthaler’s. Now the Jordan Schnitzer Family Foundation has put together a traveling exhibition of more than two dozen of them and taken them on the road. It makes its only stop in the Northeast at the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center on the Vassar College campus, opening on October 6, and remaining on view until December 10.

“Fluid Expressions: The Prints of Helen Frankenthaler, from the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation” includes examples of the artist’s works in lithography, etching, aquatint, screenprinting, pochoir, Mixografia and woodcut, dating from 1968 onward. The Opening Reception gets underway next Friday, October 6 at 6:30 p.m. in the Atrium at the Lehman Loeb, preceded at 5:30 p.m. by a lecture in Taylor Hall 102 by Douglas Dreishpoon, titled “Helen Frankenthaler: Poetic Ambiguity.” A Poughkeepsie native, Dreishpoon is director of the Catalogue Raisonné project at the Helen Frankenthaler Foundation in New York City and chief curator emeritus at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo.

Other special events associated with the fall exhibition include a Family Day tour and hands-on printmaking activities for children aged 5 to 10 on from 1:30 to 4 p.m. on Sunday, October 22.

The exhibition and all activities are free and open to the public, and all galleries are wheelchair-accessible. The Art Center’s hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Thursday and 1 to 5 p.m. on Sunday.

Is there a worldwide rebellion against liberal democracy?

Hannah Arendt Center hosts international conference on “Crises of Democracy: Thinking in Dark Times” on October 12-13

“T

he great political achievement of the modern era – stable representative democracy – is everywhere under attack,” write the organizers of the tenth annual International Conference on Crises of Democracy, to be hosted by the Hannah Arendt Center at Bard College on Thursday, and Friday, October 12 and 13 in Olin Hall. “Hannah Arendt knew that democracy is tenuous. In 1970 she famously wrote: ‘Representative government is in crisis today, partly because it has lost, in the course of time, all institutions that permitted the citizens’ actual participation, and partly because it is now gravely affected by the disease from which the party system suffers: bureaucratization and the two parties’ tendency to represent nobody except the party machines.’”

If this sounds familiar, the conference organizers direct your attention to a worldwide rebellion against liberal democracy taking place in Hungary, Russia, Turkey, other countries across Europe and closer to home as well. “In the United States, president Donald J. Trump channels the voices of the self-described disenfranchised. Representative governments everywhere are shown to be corrupt, inefficient and undemocratic.”

The two-day conference, “Crises of Democracy: Thinking in Dark Times,” asks: Is there a worldwide rebellion against liberal democracy? It features authors Teju Cole, Masha Gessen and John Jeremiah Sullivan, as well as New York Review of Books editor Ian Buruma, Wall Street Journal columnist Walter Russell Mead, 2016 congressional candidate Zephyr Teachout, Occupy Wall Street co-creator Micah White and artist Tania Bruguera.

scariest in the Northeast. Bringing kids age 12 and under is emphatically discouraged, and buying a ticket is explicitly considered releasing the proprietors from any liability if you have a serious freakout and injure yourself. There’s a long list of official warnings: “You will experience audio and visual disturbances, low visibility, strobe lights, fog, damp and/or wet conditions, encounter uneven walking surfaces in a physically demanding environment… you should not participate if you are: pregnant; suffer from claustrophobia; are prone to seizures; have heart, back or respiratory problems.”

Unlike partially motorized “haunted hayride” destinations, the Forest is what’s known in the trade as a “walkthrough.”

All seven of the attractions are accessed on foot in and around a single cluster of buildings. There’s plenty of gore to be found here, with such attractions as the Craven Brothers Chainsaw Repair and the Slaughterhouse; and at least one, titled Blind Panic, involves having to move through a series of dark rooms (wear your spikiest ankle bracelets). There’s a necropolis populated by ghosts and walking dead, a carnival full of psychotic clowns and a biohazard-contaminated laboratory. “Halloween is a harvest festival, and you’re the harvest,” says one of the Forest of Fear’s advertising taglines.

So, if your idea of an appealing chillfest depends more on interactivity with live (or undead) human talent than with hightech special effects, this attraction should move to the top of your list for what to do with a spooky autumnal weekend evening. The Forest of Fear admits visitors between 7 p.m. and midnight on Fridays and Saturdays and between 7 and 11 p.m. on Sundays from October 6 through 29.

(There’s no telling when they’ll emerge, though – if ever!) Saturday nights typically have the longest lines. Tickets cost $30 for Friday and Saturday admission, $25 for Sunday. The onsite ticket booth opens at 6:45 p.m., or you can purchase them in advance at www.ticketfly.com/purchase/ event/1473437.

The Forest of Fear is located at 600 Route 17A in Tuxedo, directly across the street from the main entrance to the Ren Faire. Food and souvenirs are sold on-site, and there’s a screening room where you can sit and watch classic horror movies whilst awaiting the foolhardier members of your adventuring party, if you decide that you’ve had enough.

EXHIBITION

BARBARA GRAFF’S “FACES & PHASES” OPENS THIS SATURDAY AT WOODSTOCK’S EAMES HOUSE

T

he Historical Society of Woodstock will host an opening reception on Saturday, October 7 from 2 to 4 p.m. for “Faces & Phases,” an exhibition of paintings and hand-painted mannequins by Barbara Graff. The show will remain on view through Sunday, October 29 at the Eames House at 20 Comeau Drive in Woodstock. Gallery hours are Saturday and Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m. Admission is free.

The exhibit is described by the artist as “a group of oil paintings and mannequins exploring a mysterious world of dark forests, twisted tree roots, forgotten slippers and the changing night sky. Strong women in veils and capes are presented in all stages of aging. Men exist as memories or shadows. Time presides over all.”

Masks play an important role in Graff ’s paintings, which relate to her fascination with the human face. “All of my portraits are representational of a search for autonomy,” she says.

“Many of them are veiled. When I look at the world around me and I see people, everyone has some sort of a veil or mask. Even with someone who looks extremely beautiful, you have to look past that to see who they are, sometimes.

It’s not a negative – the mask or the beauty – but there is always something behind it. There’s something in there that’s on a journey. And hopefully, that journey is to evolve.”

The variety of media and texture that Graff uses in her work can be attributed to the 40 years she worked in the fashion display industry as a makeup artist for mannequins in major department stores that include Bergdorf Goodman, Barney’s New York, Bloomingdale’s and Saks Fifth Avenue. Fashion mannequins are painted by hand, not airbrushed, she notes, and the process is not unlike painting a portrait on canvas.

Graff got into this unusual line of work when she was looking for an art-related job after graduating from Hofstra University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. A chance meeting with someone who worked for a mannequin company that needed a makeup artist at the time led to her being hired, and she learned on the job. “It actually takes years to get really good at it,” she says.

The mannequins in “Faces & Phases” were painted as fine art, designed to work with the paintings. For example, a painting that depicts a seated figure surrounded by three masks wearing kabuki makeup is displayed alongside two mannequins wearing kabuki makeup.

The opening reception will feature musical performances that relate to the theme of the exhibit, creating a multimedia experience for attendees. One of the performers, Michael Quinn, also worked with Graff to style the clothing worn by the mannequins in the exhibit and consulted with her on their makeup. The two have been working on this project together for two years, she says, which debuted

simply feel the energy of the sacred space and touch samples of this vast collection of crystals from all over the world. He invites people to get out of their intellectual ways of thinking in order to really feel what’s going on in response to holding and touching different crystals. Some might make the hair on your arm stand up and you’ll feel tingly. Others might be calming and soothing. It isn’t magic, he says, but it is miraculous – something you have to engage with to experience. “Crystals are minerals. Our bodies are made of minerals and we need them,” Ogden explains.

Ogden left his home in Newburyport, Massachusetts to attend the Culinary Institute of America, thinking that good food would be a worthy livelihood for his ambitions. A chance meeting with enthusiasts at a gem and mineral convention altered that path, and soon he found himself in Wurtsboro.

It was after becoming immersed in the fascinating world of crystals that he recalled a childhood connection. “My grandfather carried a crystal stone in his pocket,” he says. “And my dad, who was an antiques dealer, was also into crystals. He gave me a three-by-three-foot collectors’ box full of specimens, which I kept under my bed. I was sleeping right over all these crystals!”

Travis Ogden (above) and Tim Bracci restored an abandoned Methodist church in Wurtsboro to create Crystal Connection, a retail emporium featuring minerals from around the world, including specimens of Ellenville quartz laced with iron (see below).

n old Methodist church building on Sullivan Street in Wurtsboro houses Crystal Connection. Co-owned (with Tim Bracci) and run by Travis Ogden, it’s more of a holistic experience than a store, although every one of the thousands of crystals, stones, gems, geodes and other unique tchotchkes are for sale.

Ogden sees his job as welcoming visitors to Crystal Connection so that they might

healing and renewal of body, mind and spirit, Ogden encourages visitors to touch the stones that they find attractive. It takes

a bit of quieting the discursive chatter, a bit of letting go of skepticism, to sense whether one of them might enhance an individual’s well-being. Ogden tells me that crystals are living things, that they have grown in the depths of the Earth and have something energetic to offer us.

The one-time church is filled with light and color. The store’s inventory includes both rare and common samples, from tiny bits of amethyst, rose quartz, citrine, hematite, fluorite and carnelian to the hundreds of other unearthed rocks, some shaped and smoothed, others in a raw state. A whole shelf holds large quartz crystals mined just a few miles away, in Ellenville.

We sit on a cushioned bed at the altarend of the room, where you can lie down and be surrounded by crystal energy.

Ogden talks about the upcoming Psychic Healing Fair and the handpicked and certified practitioners who will be on hand to offer Reiki energy healing, tarot, aura photography and intuitive readings.

Visitors can experience a gong bath and crystal tuning fork therapy, chakra reading, oracles and Akashic record navigating. “I want people to be well and happy,” Ogden says.

I’m feeling a little agitated, lightheaded.

I have more questions now than when I first came in – plus my tape recorder is acting funny. I may not yet be a believer, but curiosity and intrigue have taken hold.

No doubt, I’ll be back.

Crystal Connection is open Thursday through Tuesday in September (closed Wednesdays) from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

It closes for the season on December 23. The store is located at 116 Sullivan Street in Wurtsboro. For more info call (845) 888-2547 or visit http:// crystalconnectioncenter.com/home. The Fall Healing Psychic Fair takes place on Saturday and Sunday, October 21 and 22, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Admission is free. Fifteen- and 30-minute sessions run from $22 to $55.

MUSIC In dark times, it’s good to be positive O+ Festival returns to Kingston with a diverse musical lineup

K

ingston’s O+ Festival can be described and analyzed in so many ways: as the proof of concept of a novel, barterbased model of healthcare and art that has already, in its eight years of existence, withstood numerous major changes in the healthcare landscape; as the flagship event of the new, hip and arty Kingston – a Kingston that those us from around here would have had a hard time imagining without a chuckle 15 or 20 years ago; as a kind of street conference on the interrelated subjects of health, community and creativity; as a spontaneous urban redesign, many of the artifacts of which stand year-round; and finally, as a prestigious music festival.

I remember when I first saw the O+ music curation, once ardently, forbiddingly hip, begin to yield a bit – just a bit – to the prevailing currents of the local. Initially, it seemed a concession for a Festival founded on a contentious urban artiness. Now it is just natural, and a fully balanced view on the vibrant heterogeneity of our music scene. So, we welcome a performance by the New Paltz roots/rock treasure Yard Sale (really, some of the best songwriters working around here) as we welcome the disorienting nextgen soundscaping and rap of Baltimore’s Abdu Ali. Brooklyn’s ultraprolific songwriter and guitarist Steve Gunn comes from the same slack-folk universe as Kurt Vile, with whom he often works. Brooklyn’s Spirit Family Reunion seems to be one of the last standing folktopian collectives of a kind that dominated the indie scene of the aughts. The original world/reggae band the Big Takeover has been packing all the local clubs for going on a decade.

The Mammals are a kind of Mike + Ruthy side-project band, specializing in gorgeous close harmonies and evocative acoustic textures.

Rochester’s Buffalo Sex Change are the most stylistically convincing garage-rock primitivists I have seen in a long time.

Former New Paltz indie-rock stalwart Adir L. C. seems to be headed the other way: toward a sophisticated international

My omissions are numerous and shameful, but this may be one of the richest and most inclusive O+ music lineups to date. And as the Festival expands beyond Uptown, filling the ad hoc venues of revitalized Broadway, and

with O+ Festivals now happening in several other cities, one wonders how far they can take this modest idea born in Kingston eight years ago.

O+ Festival presents Deerhoof in the back room of BSP on Sunday

Each October, when the O+ Festival takes over and transforms Uptown Kingston, I reflect on the crisis of hip and personal inadequacy. It’s all too much. You’ll never know all the hip and cool and important and revelatory music. There will always be more holes than badges in your quilt of cultural literacy. Don’t let that deter you from new explorations and acquisitions. If the surfeit of cool paralyzes you into complacency and defeat, here is the fate that awaits you: more Dylan box sets and documentaries scavenged from a falling supply of undiscovered footage. More repackaging and reappraisals of the genius of your youth until you really begin to believe that music was better back then, and that it glowed. Many powerful vested interests want you to feel this way. Stay calm, as they say, and let new stuff in – new, or just new to you. The past keeps changing, too.

Here’s a quick cheat for getting up to speed fast on a band or artist whom somebody maybe made you feel bad about not knowing. Fire up your streaming service and open your browser to Allmusic.com. Listen to the artist’s latest full-length proper release – or at least enough of it to get a sense. But please be patient and relaxed; develop a posture of active receptivity and willingness.

Field + Supply at Hutton Brickyards

T

he Field + Supply craft fair describes itself as a modern interpretation of a traditional arts and crafts fair. Like the British Arts and Crafts movement of the late 19th century, this event embraces the cultural and political agency of handmade design. Field + Supply presents a carefully curated selection from a variety of elite studios and workshops.

Field + Supply is the brainchild of the designer Brad Ford. As a child in Arkansas, Ford loved going to craft fairs. The event that he founded represents his attempt at recapturing and updating this defining American experience.

The Field + Supply makers’ fair takes place on the weekend of October 6 though 8 at the Hutton Brickyards, the repurposed industrial facility located at 200 North Street in Kingston. Festival hours are from 2 to 6 p.m. on Friday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday. Daily pass prices begin at $10. For more information, visit www.fieldandsupply.com.

by cultural cues and biases of various kinds – a chance to pass, to settle and to just allow you an engagement with the music, uncluttered by a chattering rush to judgment.

Maybe your knee-jerk response will turn out to be right, but do you want preexisting schema to do all the experiencing for you?

Try beginning with at least a provisional positive assumption: This music might be good if you let it. That’s all your local bands are asking of you, too: Allow that it might be good – not that we’re rock stars, or could have been.

Now listen to the artist’s first full-length proper release. If you wish, dismiss any self-produced early juvenilia and go straight to the official “coming-out” release. AllMusic can help you identify this. Let the early stuff talk to recent stuff. Finally, look at the artist’s AllMusic discography page and listen to the artist’s best record – the one that the Prime Geek

AllMusic editors designate as “essential,” “this-if-no-other,” “the one.” (If it’s Willie Nelson or Sarah Vaughan whom you are just finally getting around to, you’ll

(1997’s The Man, the King, the Girl), stayed weird and cool at the first blush of fame (2002’s critics’ pick Reveille) and is still weird and cool (a panic of new records in recent years including 2017’s extraordinary Mountain Moves, a remarkably lush and compelling collection of politically charged collaborations with other hip artists within and without their scene).

In a gesture of admiring befuddlement, AllMusic gives almost all their releases four stars. Four stars means “excellent.”

Five stars means “classic.” Please note the difference in the basis of each judgment.

Any Mary or Joe can cry “excellence!” but only the future can designate a classic. A classic has to be borne out over time and expressed in cultural impact. Deerhoof has in fact been around long enough (20+ years now) to have proven classics. The problem is with influence. It is hard to gauge the cultural impact of a band that seems like nothing less than a rival culture in itself. Tom Petty may come to you, but you have to go to Deerhoof.

It’s an art/pop band in a nutshell.

Their records smell like art galleries – the paint and the perfume and the wineand-cheese. The sonics are outlandish and cool (using mostly trad/rock tools, driven by the extraordinary drummer and band founder Greg Saunier), but the art is more in the embrace of rhythmic irregularity and sui generis song forms and in Satomi Matsuzaki’s repetitive art poetry. Yet still about it is a sense of pop loveliness and lushness, a charming and seductive beckon. Beefheart might be a model for the band’s musical ambiguities and estranged character, but Deerhoof is warm and wet, funny and conspiratorial.

It is not often that I wave the white flag when it comes to describing music. Trying

Black Uhuru plays Helsinki Hudson this Friday

Liana Gabel plays Kingston’s Keegan Ales this Friday

The music of the New Paltz songwriter/singer/tap-dancer Liana Gabel has always struck me as something like indie jazz: swinging in feel and in vocal mannerisms, but at the same time unrepentantly eccentric, innocent and earthy in its concerns and not entirely out of key with the do-ityourself naïveté of indie folk/rock.

Gabel’s new release Go Outside is easily the most assured and fully realized expression of her unique aesthetic to date.

Recorded as part of her residency at the Creative Sanctuary in Arcata, California and performed expertly by Gabel and other fellows in that program, Go Outside is entirely acoustic, pristinely recorded

by Daniel Nickerson, lush and haunting in its arrangements. More “high folk” than street jazz, there remain a number of swinging tunes to remind us of where Gabel came from: the album-opening minimalist groove of “Oh Ma” and the delightfully rich cautionary swing tune “Fool.”

The daring songs emphasize nature and spirituality, but often veer in disarming ways into topicality and unexpected moments of confessional candor. In the album opening “Oh Ma,” an ode of gratitude to her parents (grandparents? both?), Gabel slyly cops to her and their dreams of stardom: “Each day you by the window singing to the birds / Arias I’m sure they’ve never heard / You want me to sing to you from the TV / I’ll guess we’ll have to see / Touching hearts takes time / I’ll keep singing.” Gabel’s persistence has paid off in the form of this next-level record.

As part of the O+ Festival, Liana Gabel

Thelonious Monk tribute at Senate Garage on Sunday

Portrait of Thelonious Monk by William P. Gottlieb (Library of Congress)

Perhaps the greatest eccentric in the history of American music, Thelonious Monk stands outside and alone, insular even amidst the bebop tradition that surrounds him, his own universe. Hear “Well, You Needn’t” or “Epistrophy” one time and you will forever recognize the essence of Monk whenever you hear it again: The almost-laughable minimalism, spidery patience and unfailing wit of his lines, the unlikely emotional power and beauty of their leaps and nervous quirks.

ANI DIFRANCO AT BARDAVON

A

s influential for her funk- and punk- (and NOLA and Afroand…) inflected take on singer/songwriter acoustic rock as for her rigorous self-determination and relentlessly energized activism, walking the talk where so many others are content merely to talk it, Ani DiFranco is simply important. She’s a lightning rod for polarized opinion as well, but that just comes with her territory. Artists as well-known for their extramusical work as for their music are prone to having their art overlooked, and that’s unfortunate, for DiFranco has remained a vital, productive and stylistically restless writer throughout most of a career that is now approaching the end of its third decade.

DiFranco’s latest release Binary (released on her own Righteous Babe label) is a lively effort: street-tough as ever, rhythmically happening in ways that are current and global. Her guitar playing, always excellent, has grown new dimensions. And her spiel remains, as ever, vibrant, funny, smart and combative.

Ani DiFranco performs at the Bardavon 1869 Opera House in Poughkeepsie on Friday, October 6 at 8 p.m. Andrea Gibson opens. Tickets cost $50 and $60.

For tickets and additional information, visit www.bardavon.org. The Bardavon is located at 35 Market Street in Poughkeepsie.

Chaser, cemented this perception that the man was terminally different. But in truth it wasn’t even required; the music says it all. Jazzstock, the highly active jazz advocate and advancement group in the Hudson Valley, celebrates the 100th birthday of jazz’s truest original on Sunday, October 8 at the Senate Garage at 4 North Front Street in Kingston. The cast of players features two great jazz vocalists – Teri Roiger and Judi Silvano – and an A-list of players: Pete Levin on piano, John Menegon on bass, Jeff Siegel on drums and Jay Collins on sax.

Tickets cost $20, but get this: Due to state regulations regarding liquor, Jazzstock is unable to sell tickets on the day of the show. There will be no ticket sales at the door. You must but tickets by October 7. This is potentially a devastating blow to an admirable local musical institution – but it doesn’t have to be.

Mike Marshall & Darol Anger at house concert in Germantown For certain types of music – namely, acoustic and unamplified – the popular “house concert” format offers distinct advantages to both audience and performer. Middlemen of all varieties, moneychangers and sound engineers, are bypassed in this intimate directto-consumer model.

The home of Ruth Oxenberg and Rob Schumer at 80 John Bay Road in Germantown has doubled as a boutique micro-venue for 14 years, starting long before artists on a broad scale had

recognized their legitimacy. The talent roster displayed across those 14 years is a veritable Who’s Who of folk and bluegrass luminaries.

On Sunday, October 15 at 3 p.m., longtime musical partners and David Grisman Quintet members Darol Anger (fiddle) and Mike Marshall (mandolin) reunite for a performance at the Oxenberg/ Schumer residence. Admission costs $30. Bring food and beverages to share.

Confirm your intentions to attend and get directions by calling (917) 324-9264 or e-mailing 4thstreamhouseconcerts@ gmail.com.

the early 1800s the trees of the Catskill forest held considerable opportunity to tan leather. Eager entrepreneurs saw a nearly endless supply of hemlock and oak bark in the Catskill Mountains.

Soon tanneries sprung up throughout the Catskill region, and mountainsides were clear-cut to harvest as much bark as possible. Towns were created, and grew as workers came into the region.

The talk will include the tanning process, artifacts from “bark-peeling,” the

MUSIC

FRED HERSCH & SULLIVAN FORTNER PERFORM MUSIC FOR TWO PIANOS AT BARD ON SATURDAY

I

f jazz is America’s classical music, the pianist Fred Hersch is one of the artists in whom that metaphor has been made most plain. His is not a household name; serious contemporary jazz doesn’t mint many of those. While his jazz legitimacy has been notarized by heavies like Stan Getz, Art Farmer and Toots Thielemans, Hersch’s CV is mostly a gaudy peacock fan of fellowships, grants, residencies and French awards – for jazz has become a largely academic and patrondriven art.

Like many of today’s more ambitious jazz minds, the multiple-Grammy-nominee Hersch has “crossed over” in numerous directions. In his case, the targets tend to be not less but more rarefied, challenging and cerebral than the default jazz piano trio. His inventive solo interpretations of Jobim (2009’s Fred Hersch Plays Jobim) reimagine the music of Antonio Carlos “Tom” Jobim as introspective and almost classical in its internal, contrapuntal complexity. Hersch’s stunning Leaves of Grass (2005) is a brainy chamber/vocal/jazz setting of the poetry of Walt Whitman. It is “jazz” only insofar as it borrows from jazz’s harmonic language – and because it swings from time to time.

A gifted composer, improvisor, arranger and jazz theoretician, Hersch represents the “high” side of jazz about as purely as anyone in the genre’s history. He thus often finds himself working in concert music settings. On Saturday, October 7 at 7:30 p.m., the Catskill Jazz Factory and Bard College continue their fruitful collaboration with a concert by the eight-time Grammy-nominee and Guggenheim Fellow Fred Hersch and his protégé Sullivan Fortner, the 2015 American Pianists’ Association Cole Porter Fellow in Jazz. The pair will perform the music of Hersch, Cole Porter, Thelonious Monk and more at the Fisher Center on the campus of Bard College.

Ticket prices range from $25 to $50. For more information, visit http://fishercenter.bard.edu. The Fisher Center is located at 60 Manor Avenue in Annandale-on-Hudson.

men who built the tanneries, the demand for leather and the environmentally significant impact that this industry had on the Catskill forest, the effects of which are still with us today.

Misko is the founder of the Catskill 4000 Club; a lecturer on American history, Catskill history and John Burroughs; and as a certified guide, he leads unusual and historic hikes.

The program includes a toast to the 800th anniversary of the Charter of the Forest of 1217. The Charter of the Forest is considered one of the first laws to regulate the use of natural resources. It did that by extending privileges and protections regarding the use of the forests in England to the common man. The Burroughs Club of Willoughby, Ohio will also present a commemorative brass plaque for the bench that it gave the Association on Slabsides Day last May, on the occasion of its 100th anniversary.

The doors of Slabsides will be open for tours that same day, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

To get there, follow the “Path through History” signs at the intersection of Route 9W and Floyd Ackert Road in West Park and turn west onto Floyd Ackert Road (at the Global Palate restaurant).

Push Stars play Beacon’s Towne Crier this Friday The Push Stars’ frontman Chris Trapper possesses such an offhand sense of melodic ease and agreeability with words and voice that he makes you think you can do it, too. He makes you think it is easy. You can’t. It isn’t.

A staple of the Boston club scene, the

Push Stars took a major-label ride and scored hits in the late ’90s and early 2000s, championed in large part by our own WDST, founder of the Adult Alternative format that Trapper and Co. fit like a glove.

After label shakeups and the usual industry narrative, the Push Stars went indie and released some of their best work.

Trapper began a prolific solo career in the early 2000s. His shows in this context, removed from rock, really display the full extent of the cat’s command of songcraft and solo performance. But the Push Stars are a thing again: not just reunion shows, but talk of new recordings.

They perform at one of Trapper’s favorite haunts, the Towne Crier in Beacon, on Friday, October 6 at 8:30 p.m. Tickets cost $25. The Towne Crier Café is located at 379 Main Street in Beacon. For more information, visit www.townecrier.com.

the Catskills since childhood, Misko’s interest in the early history of the region drew him to decades of research, particularly in Woodland Valley, the site of several tanneries.

Tanning leather was one of the many industries the early settlers brought from Europe. The process required the use of tannins extracted from tree bark, and in

ERICA’S CANCER JOURNEY:

“What are you afraid of?”

M

y friend asks, “So, my question to you is about fear. If you are afraid, what you are afraid of? What comforts you? Do you stay comforted?

I have known a few people – one, actually – whose religious faith allayed pretty much all his fear. I imagine that such a depth of faith would be a huge blessing, but is not something that I have. And, as I age and stuff happens in my body, I am experiencing fear that is not connected to something that can be fixed; it just is.

This is why I ask you about fear. I would have liked to have asked my sister the same question, but didn’t.”

Jerry Seinfeld suggests, “According to most studies, people’s Number One fear is public speaking. Number Two is death.

Death is Number Two. Does that sound right? This means to the average person, if you go to a funeral, you’re better off in the casket than doing the eulogy.” Do you relate?

Questions about my fears around death are the most popular topic I get, and I feel the heaviness and sadness in your words. But one of the biggest gifts for me in receiving a terminal diagnosis right out of the gate is having a name for my death. Sure, any of us could die at any time. Many people rationalize the seeming randomness of death – “I could get hit by a bus at any time” – dismissive of my experience in planning for my passing (and which I now grieve having said myself over the years). Before my friend, Karen Walsh Marhold, died of breast cancer, she would reply, “Sure, but my bus is running up and down my driveway.”

My Stage IV breast cancer diagnosis is a terminal disease. I will die of this, once it colonizes enough in my brain (brainssssssss…), lung or liver. Or even just a simple infection. But it is happening.

I am actually dying, for real. And many of my friends who may not have a serious illness themselves seem to be grappling with similar fears around their elderly loved ones. When my friend tries talking about end-of-life wishes for her aging mother, her mother refuses to answer

and will not discuss it. My friend doesn’t want to create a fight during an alreadychallenging time with her mom’s health, and the conversation uncomfortably, and abruptly, ends. Understandably, no one really wants to pursue it again.

Here’s the thing: We are all going to die.

But dying didn’t feel real to me until my diagnosis. I’m not sure how real it feels to me even now. But here are three ways I dance with it that have strengthened and energized me, while eclipsing my fears: 1. I purchased my burial plot. (Did you know that you can actually resell your plot if you want?) As I visited various local cemeteries, I learned about local Green Natural Burial options in Rosendale and Rhinebeck. I had no idea how much of a burden this fear was for me until I signed my check.

I immediately felt lighter. And now, whenever I think about my eventual passing and picture those beautiful woods, I feel like I’m being welcomed back “home” to the Earth. There’s no fear looming over me about that now.

And besides, why should someone else have to do this for me? I’m leaving behind a husband and two children.

Why should he have to shoulder the burden of choosing my burial plot while managing grieving kids and his own sadness after I die? I was quite moved as we walked back to the car, and he thanked me for doing it.

2. I met with my local funeral director to learn about logistics and details, whether I die at home or in the hos-

pital. Planning and prepaying for my choices now, while I’m still upright, means another burden lifted from my family. The whole thing took around one to two hours, and it wasn’t a sad experience at all (except perhaps for the person we worked with, because we were quite thrifty with our choices).

had a heart attack right here, right now, of course I would want CPR! What, are you trying to kill me even sooner?” Brenda, who has been-there-done-that and seen it all unfold at her nursing station for decades, patiently walked me through an honest scenario about my recovery. Sure, I might live through an emergency rescue.

But then what? And it was the “then what” that got me. I am medically compromised.

I’m not even the same “Erica” now as I was a few years ago. Full recovery is not going to happen. Yes, a healthy person could recover, but that is not my story anymore.

The MOLST empowers me to make real choices; and believe me, this all took a while to sort through. And then I did it again with my doctor, who helped me to adjust some responses that I thought I had intended, and we signed off on the form.

Yes, it can always be updated.

Brenda helped me see the truth in my dying, all without influencing my personal choices. She gave me information I had no idea I didn’t know that I didn’t know, and that I very much needed. Each check box is more like a Pandora’s box, with each choice on the page playing out in ways that inexperienced lay people like myself can’t possibly predict. Sure, a feeding or breathing tube might keep me alive; but at what cost, if my body doesn’t support a full recovery?

For me, exploring and reflecting on these choices is about really owning my body and my disease. Without the MOLST, I am forcing my family’s hand to make, and live with, impossible decisions that no one else should have to take on. Why would I put that on someone else? It’s my body.

Examining end-of-life questions is simply about knowledge and planning. It’s not about “giving up” or “inviting death in.” From what I’m told, faith leaders tend to be supportive of exploring these questions, too. I am learning solid information about a reality I have never encountered before.

I am so grateful for this knowledge now, but I’ll be honest, it took a while for it to really sink in, because the MOLST is about my body, while I’m still alive, with choices that I alone decide. The MOLST protects my decisions, and my family can rest more easily, knowing, “This Is What Erica Wanted.” I very, very highly recommend Brenda’s and Elise’s workshops, whether for yourself or a loved one: Herbert H. and Sofia P. Reuner Cancer Support House, 80 Mary’s Avenue, Kingston; (845) 339-2071, www.hahv. org/hahv/cancer-support-house.aspx.

I’m leaving behind a husband and two children. Why should he have to shoulder the burden of choosing my burial plot while managing grieving kids and his own sadness after I die?

3. I completed a MOLST form, which turns out to have nothing to do with moles or mold. MOLST stands for Medical Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment; and, unlike all of the living wills and other paperwork I’ve done, once my doctor signed it, the MOLST is legally and medically binding in New York State. It’s a series of questions about pursuing, or not: CPR, intubation, feeding tubes et cetera.

There is no way anyone could get me to care about another boring form (although the bright neon-pink does jazz it up a little). And then I met Brenda Relyea, RN, along with Elise Lark, PhD, LCSW, at the special sauce that is the Reuner Cancer Support House in Kingston, at an end-of-life paperwork presentation.

My indignant question was, “What? If I

DION OGUST | ALMANAC WEEKLY

Filmmakers Archie Lewis-Harris from Woodstock and Benny Rendell from New Paltz will be screening their new alien movie, Sister, at the Woodstock Film Festival.

KIDS' ALMANAC

LOCAL SCREEN TEAM TO SHOW NEW WORK AT WOODSTOCK FILM FESTIVAL

A

story about a tween alien on the run in a small town in upstate New York? Created by teens? Yes, please! I’m excited to see this new work in the Teen Shorts lineup at the 2017 Woodstock Film Festival (WFF): a terrific opportunity to see the artistry and creativity of some next-generation talent.

So, who are the teens behind this alien flick, Sister? You may recall Archie Lewis-Harris from Woodstock and Benny Rendell from New Paltz, both 14 years old, who screened two teen films at WFF last year, Listen and Cracked. I asked Benny about this year’s submission: “The movie stars Fae Leonard-Mann (12, High Falls) and a bunch of our friends, all from the Hudson Valley. Myself, Archie, Fae and all our friends in the movie met through New Genesis Productions, a youth Shakespeare company in West Shokan. I wrote, directed and edited the movie, and Archie composed the amazing original score. We were lucky enough to get into the Teens Panel last year, and the experience of the Festival was so inspiring, with all the amazing films and filmmaker panels, it made us want to make another film to submit again. So we did!”

Please join me at the Teen Shorts films, all produced by 12-to-18-year-olds, on Friday, October 13 at 5 p.m. at the Bearsville Theater: The Candidate, Fishing, It Takes a Village, Lyric, Metamorphosis, Pigeonhood, Santa Woman, Sister and The Raven. Tickets cost $10, and the event is followed by a question-and-answer panel of the young directors.

The Bearsville Theater is located at 291 Tinker Street in Woodstock. The 18th annual Woodstock Film Festival takes place from October 11 through 15. For tickets or more information, call (845) 810-0131 or visit http://woodstockfilmfestival. org; the teen lineup is at www.woodstockfilmfestival.com/festival2017/films. php?p_id=609. To learn more about Benny, visit www.mirroruptonaturefilms. com and http://theworldaccordingtobenny.blogspot.com.

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

A pick of peppers 2017 was a good summer for sweet peppers, pears & grapes

W

arm – no, hot – weather going on and on keeps tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers chugging along, restrained only by diminished sunshine. Still, before real autumn weather rolls in and decimates these warmth-loving plants, it’s time to do some evaluation of this season before it fades into memories that meld with previous seasons.

As usual, there are successes and failures. Good – no, great – are this year’s peppers. I credit the rousing success mostly to my choice of two varieties. The first was an old variety, Sweet Italia, a/k/a Sweet Italian or Italian Sweet. Other varieties are available with similar names; the names are similar, but not the same, as are the fruits.

Sweet Italia has two problems: The seed is hard to find, and the plants flop over under their weight of fruit. Both problems are easily solved: Save seed (Sweet Italia is not a hybrid, so seeds come “true” as long as the plants are sufficiently distant from other pepper varieties); stake the plants. Sweet Italia is especially notable for bearing large and relatively early crops of deliciously sweet red peppers even under Northern growing conditions.

It’s much, much tastier than Sweet Ace, which is often grown commercially as an early-ripening sweet red pepper.

The other pepper variety of note is Escamillo: larger than Sweet Italia and also delicious, in a different way. Escamillo, bred by Johnny’s Selected Seeds, ripens yellow.

Like Sweet Italia, Escamillo is a corno di toro, shaped like the horn of a bull.

Save your seeds.

Sweet Italia is not a hybrid, so seeds come “true” as long as the plants are sufficiently distant from other pepper varieties.

Balancing my peppery successes are two failures: celery and celeriac. The plants looked healthy from the time I sowed seed, indoors in February, until the transplants went out in the garden, in early May. It was downhill from there.

The plants are stunted and their leaves are spotted by disease. The spots are very distinctive, tan with black edges, and angular in outline. The tan areas lacked pycnidia – small black propagules visible with the naked eye – so the disease is not one of the fungal diseases that afflict celery and celeriac.

A web search of symptoms and images identified the problem as bacterial blight (Pseudomonas syringae pv. apii). Cool wet weather exacerbates the condition, and we did have some of that this summer. The fungus can also spend the winter in the soil, which makes a good case for crop rotation: not planting any member of a family of plants in the same place oftener than every three years. I did move my celery and celeriac far from previous two locations, though.

2pm Disgraced. By Ayad Akhtar. Directed by Melisa Annis. A successful Pakistani-American attorney seems to have the perfect life, until a dinner party goes awry.

LEE REICH | ALMANAC WEEKLY

Sweet Italia is notable for bearing large and relatively early crops of deliciously sweet red peppers even under Northern growing conditions.

I’m pinning the blame on seedling flats that were not sufficiently cleaned. Usually, I just give them a rinse after use; next year, they’ll also get a spritzing with alcohol.

Infected seed could also have been the culprit – doubtfully, in my garden. The celeriac seed was from a reputable nursery. What’s more, the celery seed comes from my own plants, in the greenhouse. Those plants also self-seed in the greenhouse, and the volunteer plants that come up in the greenhouse look fine. (I thin them out, letting the best ones grow to provide celery all winter and then self-seed again in spring.)

If infected, seed could be decontaminated with a hot-water treatment at 122 degrees Fahrenheit for 25 minutes – or with time. Seeds more than two years old don’t carry disease.

Other plans for next year are to be even more thorough with end-of-season cleanup of beds and to rip out of the ground any plants suspected of harboring disease as soon as noticed.

As a last resort, copper sprays, which are approved for organic use, could be applied.

I probably won’t do that; it takes the fun out of just popping fresh vegetables into your mouth in among the beds. I have plenty of other good stuff to eat out there.

In fruits, pears have been outstanding this year – not because of any greenness of my thumb; everybody around here had good crops of pears. Must be something about the weather.

Also outstanding have been grapes – again, not because of the greenness of my thumb, but because I have so many vines and so many different varieties. Despite weather conducive to diseases, there were (and still are) plenty of good grapes for eating.

Flowers did fine this year, except Lemon Gem marigolds: one flower that I try each year to sow enough of to define the leading edges of the beds in the vegetable garden.

They typically germinate poorly for me, but they occasionally self-seed. I couldn’t bear to remove the few that popped up in the main path near the leading edges of the beds.

Their general absence makes those few all the more outstanding.
