process in another art book featuring Hudson Valley farmers and chefs. Organic, also produced on museum-quality paper with a single embossed ambrotype on the cover, brings the mysteries of food production into sepia-toned light. You can almost smell the dirt, sweat and delicious aromas coaxed out of the ground by these vanguards of the farm-to-table movement.

In the introduction for Yoga, he describes the steps: hand-pouring an emulsion of collodion onto a plate of black glass, which is then bathed in a solution of silver nitrate to render it sensitive to light; removing the cap from the antique brass lens and counting the seconds of exposure.

“Mysterious, alluring and elusive, the charismatic force of the collodion process propels us into the union of a known and unknown world.”

Mastalia wanted to capture yogis in various poses. What he didn’t expect was that engaging in the divine form with 108 adept practitioners would inspire him to such intimacy and self-reflection.

He mentions “absorbing the power of the Sun, the breadth of world where art and alchemy embrace, and this union of synergy between the yogi, photographer and flow of the universe.” The distinctions between his craft and the spiritual elements of yoga began to blur. I ask if he practices yoga.

I do now! Once you start a yoga practice, everyone says the same thing: I wish I would have started sooner.

tool with its transference of light into images, and how channeling the presence of inner light is the essence of yoga.

The yogis talk about trying to find that inner light of the soul. They see the energy from the light of the Sun – there’s something sacred about the Sun – and how it affects us being very powerful...

I don’t see it as a physical thing, but as a force of energy that ends up inside of us, within our soul. That’s what I really wanted to capture: something that is on the inside of these yogis.

Also, I don’t freeze time. I use time to take a photograph. Time does not sit still.

It’s constantly moving... The movement of light appears in the background of the photographs. I think nature plays a big role in the essence of the photograph.

Was it difficult to have your subjects remain still enough for that length of time?

I told them: What will appear on this glass plate is the interaction between you and I and what the Universe decides to give us. For me, if an image is not perfectly sharp, it doesn’t bother me at all. It’s what

happened in that moment, and I find it more truthful that way. If you look at the great photographer Julia Margaret Cameron, she got criticized very heavily because, in photography’s beginnings, they saw it as a science. And they wanted everything to be sharp and clear. She said that when she focused the camera, she didn’t like it when it was sharp. She actually liked it a bit out of focus. She was probably one of the people who defined art photography.

I tend to embrace whatever I’m given.

It’s not a matter of trying to do a perfect photograph. I want to create a photograph based on the truth of that moment.

How did you track down all these yogis?

It started at the Omega Institute. I contacted them and was allowed to photograph on their campus and have access to the world-renowned yogis who come to teach there. I just went through their catalogue and made a list of people I wanted to meet. One person led me to the next.

Why 108 of them?

The significance of the number 108 is that it’s a sacred number in Eastern religious traditions... One stands for God or higher truth, zero stands for emptiness or completeness in spiritual practice, eight stands for infinity or eternity. The Shiva mala (and rosaries) are composed of 108 beads. There are 108 energy lines or nadis converging to form the heart chakra.

There are 108 points that define the human body. There are 108 feelings with 36 related to the past, 36 to the present and 36 to the future. There are said to be 108 types of meditation. Some say there are 108 paths to God. Did your subjects write their own texts for the book?

Yes, I videotaped each interview and transcribed them, so the stories were written in their own words. I basically just edited the piece. People from different parts of the country or the world have different ways of speaking and telling their stories. I want the reader to have that same feeling of me sitting in front of [the subjects] and us talking to each other. It is more intimate that way.

The introduction is your journey, what you got out of the whole project.

When I started photographing these people, I was not a yoga practitioner...

NATURE

Painless peeping View autumn’s glory from the Ashokan Reservoir Trail

L

eaf-peeper season is now happening in the Hudson Valley and Catskills, so it would be best to lose no more time in planning an excursion. Short on leisure time for a long hike? Need someplace easy to access by car, affording nonstop glorious views of golden mountainsides without a lot of uphill trekking? You can’t beat the Ashokan Reservoir trail for an easy in-and-out affording stunning autumnal panoramas. If you can time it to catch the sun setting behind the Catskills, all the better.

Park your car at the East Parking Lot at 27 B West South Road, just off Route 28A in Olivebridge. The trail follows the Reservoir’s southern shore before terminating at the Reservoir Road crossing, where you can enjoy lengthy vistas of both the east and west basin of the 8,315-acre water body, created in 1915 to serve a thirsty New York City.

The walk is 5.4 miles out and back, and very nearly flat. It’s a paved path, very amenable (if the wind isn’t blowing too hard) to cycling or rollerblading. It’s even friendly to cross-country skiing, when there’s a snowpack deep enough to cushion your pole spike from hitting the blacktop.

Along the way you’ll find informational signs that identify which mountain along the skyline is which – if, indeed, you can take your eyes off those colorful mountains at all. Canada geese are usually plentiful along the path. But the big payoff is the fondness of some of our local bald eagle population for nesting in the groves of tall pines to be found here and there along the shoreline. Bring binoculars if you have them!

“Ashokan” is said to mean “place of fish” in one of the Algonquian languages, so it’s not difficult to figure out why those eagles favor this spot. Fishing is allowed by permit in the Reservoir, which is stocked with brown trout each spring and also home to largemouth bass and state-record-holding walleyes. Trolling with spoons, plugs or live bait is the favored fishing method – from non-motorized craft only. And because this is a major source of drinking water, your rowboat needs to live here year-round to prevent contamination from other water bodies. To find out more about Department of Environmental Protection fishing regulations, visit http://on.nyc.gov/2yDCmDf. Mostly, though, people come here for the stunning views. Make it a point to stop by for a walk before those precious 15 minutes of peak foliage time are up.

The beauty of the human body and the physical practice drew me to want to photograph it. Then it transformed very quickly into something very different: answering those big questions of life. Why are we here? What is our purpose?

Have you surprised yourself in pushing your boundaries and discovering what you can do or don’t think you can do?

I’ve always taken care of myself physically, but one thing I’ve never done is really stretch. Within a short period of time, just seeing how much I’ve improved and increased my flexibility has amazed me. The body is so responsive.

– Ann Hutton

Hannah Arendt Center at Bard hosts “Crises of Democracy: Thinking in Dark Times” “The 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 selfdescribed 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. For a full conference schedule, biographies of featured speakers and registration information, visit http://hac. bard.edu/con2017.

Kingston suffrage rally to celebrate 100 years of votes for NYS women Many New Yorkers take pride in our state’s long heritage of being ahead of the curve on (most) social-change issues. As a result, we get to start celebrating the centennial of women’s suffrage nearly three years earlier than the rest of the country. The 19 th Amendment to the US Constitution was formally adopted on August 26, 1920. But it was in a referendum on November 6, 1917 that 54 percent of New York’s all-male voters approved the addition of a women’s suffrage amendment to our state constitution, after it had been approved by two successive State Legislatures. Thanks, fellas; we’ll take it from here.

Here in Ulster County, the centenary festivities will peak with a live reenactment of a Suffrage Rally in the afternoon of Sunday, October 22. Organized by the Ulster County Historical Society, the Ulster County Clerk’s Office and the Ellenville Public Library & Museum, the gathering will begin around 12:45 p.m. in the vicinity of T. R. Gallo Park and the Maurice Hinchey Promenade on the Rondout waterfront in Kingston, serenaded by the Saints of Swing from the bandstand. The rally will then move on to the Home Port at the Hudson River Maritime Museum at about 1:10 p.m., to be welcomed by Kingston mayor Steve Noble and Ulster County clerk Nina Postupack.

The general public is invited to wear period costume if possible, and join in conversations with costumed reenactors whose role will be to engage people in discussion about the women’s rights movement.

Beginning at 1:30, actors G. Angela Henry and Lynne McKenney Lydick will offer period speeches to the assembled crowd, portraying Sojourner Truth and Abby Kelley Foster respectively. Question-

Suffrage Parade in New York City, 1912 (Courtesy of the Library of Congress). The suffrage parade was a new development in the fight for women’s suffrage in the United States. It was a bold tactic, adopted by suffragists and the more militant suffragettes shortly after the turn of the century. Although some women chose to quit the movement rather than march in public, others embraced the parade as a way of publicizing their cause and combating the idea that women should be relegated to the home.

and-answer sessions will follow.

The event will also include a public display of the 16-panel “Ulster County Women of Note” traveling exhibit created in 2016 by the Ulster County Historical Society and the Ellenville Public Library & Museum with funding from a Humanities New York Action Grant. Attendees will have an opportunity to make their own Women’s Rights sash to wear or display, and voter registration tables will be set up by the Ulster County Clerk’s Office.

Admission to the Ulster County Women’s Suffrage Rally is free, and all are invited. For more info, e-mail uchsdirector@gmail.com, call (845) 3771040 or (845) 647-5530 or visit www. facebook.com/ulstercountywomenofnote.

MOVIE Larger than life Biographical documentaries dominate at this week’s Woodstock Film Festival

A

s a rule, despite its pride of place as a hotbed of “Fiercely Independent” cinema, Woodstock Film Festival tickets tend to sell out quickest for screenings of works directed by or starring known quantities in the movie biz.

In most cases, those sought-after titles are narrative features; so if you’re feeling stymied, pursuing the filmfest’s wealth of documentary offerings can often prove a productive avenue.

The 2017 lineup is particularly striking in its concentration of celebrity biographies, in several cases made by close associates or even family members of the individual in focus. Some of them, as of presstime, even have tickets still available.

You’ ll have to take a chance on Standby status if you have your heart set on catching either showing – at the Woodstock Playhouse at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, October 14 or at Upstate Films in Rhinebeck at 6 p.m. on Sunday, October 15 – of Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr Story, directed by Emmy-winner Alexandra Dean. Dean herself, along with producers Susan Sarandon and Adam Haggiag, are scheduled to participate in the question-and-answer sessions following the screenings.

It might be worth waiting for a seat to open up, because Lamarr’s story is a fascinating one, and largely untold.

Renowned as the most beautiful actress of her day, she was also incredibly intelligent.

Her 1938 Hollywood debut in Algiers was a sensation, but the studios didn’t really know what to do with her exotic looks and heavy Austrian accent, beyond casting her as seductresses with few lines to deliver.

Bored, she started inventing things, giving then-lover Howard Hughes useful designs for airplane wings based on cross-sections of birds and fish.

Then, during World War II, Lamarr heard about the German Navy jamming the signals guiding radio-controlled Allied torpedoes. Recruiting her friend, avantgarde composer George Antheil, to aid in the war effort, together they designed what came to be known as FrequencyHopping Spread Spectrum technology for military radio, obtaining a patent in 1942. Though the government was more interested in having Hollywood stars hawking war bonds, a variant of Lamarr’s

extraordinary talent as a singer, dancer, actor and comedian enabled him to walk the tightrope of the mid-20th-century color line. A veteran of increasingly outdated show business traditions trying to stay relevant, Davis strove to achieve the American Dream in a time of racial prejudice and shifting politics, caught between the bigotry of white America and the distaste of black America.

(And by embracing Judaism, he yoked himself to another persecuted minority.)

Peabody- and Emmy-winning filmmaker Sam Pollard has now documented that complicated career in Sammy Davis, Jr.: I’ve Gotta Be Me, which features interviews with Billy Crystal, Norman Lear, Jerry Lewis, Whoopi Goldberg and Kim Novak.

Tickets are available on a standby basis only for the US premiere of Sammy Davis, Jr.: I’ve Gotta Be Me at 4 p.m. on Saturday, October 14 at the Woodstock Playhouse.

However, as of presstime, you could still get tickets for the showing at noon on Sunday, October 15 at the Rosendale

Theatre.

Looking for a biopic subject more New Agey than Hollywoodish? Tickets are still available for the New York premiere at the Woodstock Playhouse at 10:15 a.m. on Sunday, October 15 of Ram Dass: Going Home, directed by Derek Peck. Born Richard Alpert, a spiritual seeker who experimented with LSD with Dr. Timothy Leary at a commune in Millbrook in the early 1960s changed his name to Ram Dass after traveling in India in 1967. His books, especially Be Here Now (1971), were the introduction for many members of the hippie counterculture to Eastern religions and the consciousness-expanding potential of psychedelics. Ram Dass: Going Home is described as “a profound and poetic encounter with cultural and spiritual icon Ram Dass at his home on Maui…in the final chapter of his life.”

Actor/producer/director Griffin Dunne is the nephew-by-marriage of the celebrated journalist and novelist Joan Didion. Famous for bringing order to disorder through her words, Didion

exposes, examines and divulges the most pivotal events in American history, making her one of the most recognizable and influential voices within the literary world. Dunne profiles her in his new documentary, Joan Didion: The Center Will Not Hold, which features interviews from Didion herself, as well as close family and friends, interwoven with contextual archival footage and stills to visualize her writing.

Joan Didion: The Center Will Not Hold screens at Upstate Films in Rhinebeck at 5:45 p.m. on Friday, October 13.

Admission is available on standby basis only.

Another leading literary light gets analyzed by close kin in WFF’s Closing Night Film, screening at the Woodstock Playhouse at 7:30 p.m. on Sunday, October 15 – and this time, you might still be able to snag a ticket. Rebecca Miller, writer/director of Personal Velocity, The Ballad of Jack and Rose, The Private Lives of Pippa Lee and last year’s Greta Gerwig vehicle, Maggie’s Plan (http://bit. ly/2ybtEsU), has made a documentary about her famous father, Arthur Miller: Writer. The film contains material never before seen by the public, including indepth interviews and home-movie-style glimpses into Miller’s persona – quite different from the face that was presented in formal interviews and to the press.

Rebecca Miller opens the door to the man behind the icon, delves into the roots of his life as an artist and explores his character – both its strengths and its weaknesses.

Even if all of these sell out, you’re bound to find a movie or three in the WFF 2017 lineup that tells a compelling story of someone, famous or not, that richly deserves to be told. To view the full lineup, visit http://woodstockfilmfestival.org. Or visit the box office at 13 Rock City Road in Woodstock. – Frances Marion Platt

Queen of the silver screen Judi Dench is reason enough to see flawed Victoria & Abdul

R

emember when Stephen Frears was regarded as an edgy, intellectual indie filmmaker, unafraid to tackle complex sociopolitical issues in his 1980s works like My Beautiful Laundrette? In his latest opus, Victoria & Abdul, the director seems to have left that particular Stephen Frears well behind. If you go in looking for pithy commentary on the ugly legacy of British colonialism, you’re going to be sorely disappointed. If, on the other hand, you think that you’ll be satisfied with yet another stellar acting turn from the amazing Judi Dench, you’re going to have an enjoyable time.

This is not Dame Judi’s first assay at portraying Britain’s second-longest-

Judi Dench and Ali Fazal in Victoria & Abdul.

ruling monarch, finding a reason for living in the stimulating company of a lowborn household servant amidst the deadening routines of royal pomp and protocol. Indeed, Victoria & Abdul is being described by some as an “unofficial sequel� to John Madden’s Mrs Brown (1997), Dench’s first starring cinema role.

In this case, toward the end of her life, Queen Victoria’s spark is Abdul Karim (Bollywood heartthrob Ali Fazal), previously a clerk or munshi working in a jail in Agra where prisoners are trained to make carpets. His height, handsomeness, genteel bearing and good eye for fine weaving technique bring Abdul to the attention of local British officials who have been tasked with selecting a couple of native Indian servants to participate in the queen’s Golden Jubilee pageantry. And so begins an improbable 15-year friendship that transcends the absurd limitations of the English aristocracy’s knowledge of the beliefs of their subjects across the seas.

On one level – not a very deep one, admittedly – the movie is a condemnation of racism and narrow-mindedness among the Queen’s sycophantic entourage. Even the household servants resent the access that Abdul and his fellow brown-skinned cultural ambassador Mohammed Buksh (Adeel Akhtar) are soon granted to Her Majesty. And Victoria’s high-level advisors – notably her secretary Sir Henry Ponsonby (Tim Pigott-Smith, in his final onscreen appearance), her physician, Sir James Reid (Paul Higgins), Lady Churchill (Olivia Williams) and the prime minister, Lord Salisbury (Michael Gambon) – are depicted as a gaggle of hand-wringing, pompous buffoons who care mainly about appearances of propriety. Every so often her heir “Bertie� puts in an appearance, played with considerable fizz by comedian

Eddie Izzard as a man utterly exasperated by his five-plus-decade wait for his formidable mother to die so that he can take the throne as Edward VII. He comes off as an upper-class twit as well.

The queen dismisses them all as “vultures,� even when their suspicions about Abdul’s motives seem to have some grounding in reality. The problem here, as a screenplay, is that those motives aren’t very clearly developed. We see Abdul primarily from the queen’s delighted perspective, taking the title Munshi in the sense of spiritual teacher, or in scenes where he comes off as a wide-eyed innocent for whom the prospect of a gig with the Empress of India seems like a trip to Disneyland. Is his slightly goofy sincerity all there is to him, or is there some calculating opportunism going on here as well? And why doesn’t the oppressive nature of the Raj permeate his consciousness at all?

Working from a screenplay by Lee Hall that’s based on Shrabani Basu’s book based on Abdul Karim’s recently unearthed diary, Frears puts all the anticolonialist rhetoric into the mouth of Mohammed, framing him as a sort of lovable grouch.

Merging conflicting attitudes toward the reality of India as a part of the British Empire within one character could have made Abdul a far more interesting person; but alas, it was not to be. As it is, we are left wondering what is intended by his portrayal as a simple-but-wise exotic Other. Are we supposed to take it as evidence of the wish-fulfillment of our own Western gaze, or an indictment of same?

In this case, that’s probably reading

too much into the director’s intent.

Taken at face value, the narrative of Victoria & Abdul is going to make some more politically sophisticated audiences squirm. Taken as a period piece, it affords great pleasure, primarily in Dench’s utter command of the nuances of her own character, and in the insight that she offers into the small joys available to a gifted monarch whose existence is hellishly constricted by having been the most powerful woman in the world for far too long. She may be officially the Empress of India, but for reasons of her own safety, cannot ever visit the place, and must see it through her Munshi’s eyes.

That may be the ultimate scenario defining “First World problems,� but I can’t imagine anyone seeing this movie and coming out with the takeaway message of “It’s good to be the queen.� The rapport between monarch and servant comes to life here on purely human terms, one-toone; and judged on this basis, Victoria & Abdul supplies a rewarding couple of hours at the movies. – Frances Marion Platt

HISTORY

WILL DENDIS | ALMANAC WEEKLY

British soldiers captured New York City, and on October 13, 1777 sailed up the Hudson River to take retaliation against Kingston, one of three major cities along the river and the then newly established capital of New York State. Landing at Kingston Point, the Redcoats marched along the Rondout Creek and up to the Stockade, burning houses along the way.

Hot time in the old town Burning of Kingston flares up again this weekend

E

very other year, the City of Kingston reenacts its history in a citywide Burning of Kingston celebration. The three-day event will be held this year from Friday, October 13 through Sunday, October 15, with a full schedule of historical reenactments at different locations and a number of supplementary activities that include a Colonial grand ball, exhibits, a cemetery tour, a bucket brigade competition and Redcoat and Militia camp tours and demonstrations.

Most events are free of charge to attend.

A celebration of the time your city was burned to the ground by invading soldiers seems, on the face of it, an odd thing to commemorate. But the real celebration here is that of the original American spirit: the brave and resilient Colonial Kingstonians who lost everything they

had in the burning of Kingston, yet persevered, rebuilding their city stronger than ever.

The Continental Army’s first major victories at the Battles of Saratoga on September 19 and October 7 of 1777 had given the fledgling Americans a much-needed boost of confidence. The triumphant win would cause Spain, France and Holland to come around finally and offer the supplies, loans and military support that the Colonists had been seeking, and would lead to a formal alliance with France in February 1778. But for the newly defeated British in Saratoga, the loss didn’t go down well, and as the news spread quickly on both sides of the Atlantic, their conquest became their humiliation.

up the Hudson River to take retaliation against Kingston, one of three major cities along the river and the newly established capital of New York State. Landing at Kingston Point, the Redcoats marched along the Rondout Creek and up to the Stockade, burning houses along the way.

As the British army approached, deputy county clerk Christopher Tappen and several other Colonists saved important city documents and ledgers, and some residents stayed to fight. But they were mostly boys and older men, with most of the soldieringage men in the city off fighting the British elsewhere.

K i n g s t o n residents, primarily patriots, weren’t left with many options as the invading troops advanced toward them, so most evacuated to Hurley.

In a matter of hours, the British burned down more than 300 buildings and left Kingston in ruins. But when the people returned, the devastation they came back to didn’t destroy them, and only hardened the Colonists’ determination to gain their independence.

The 20th anniversary of the biennial Burning of Kingston reenactments will kick off on Friday, October 13 in the Vanderlyn Gallery at the Senate House

Museum at 296 Fair Street. Hank Yost of the First Ulster Militia will give a presentation at 5:30 p.m. about the events that led up to the burning of Kingston and its aftermath. (The reenactor’s considerable storytelling skills may be previewed in a video on www. burningofkingston.com.)

With the story still fresh in listeners’ minds, the Procession of Lights will leave the Senate House at 6:30 p.m. and cross the heart of the Stockade to the historic Persen House at 74 John Stree t, where at 7 p.m. the Colonial Kingston Committee of Safety will offer “The Great D e b a t e ,” a reenactment of the town residents hearing the news of General John Burgoyne’s defeat at Saratoga. Reenactors will discuss fears of British invasion, hear of the British landing at Kingston Point and debate what to do next.

For an eerier approach to history, a $10 admission fee allows entrance into the Old Dutch Church Cemetery at 7:45 p.m. on Friday, where the true story of the Burning of Kingston will be told by the long-dead, rising up to provide firsthand accounts of their ordeal.

On Saturday, October 14, visitors are invited to take the Revolutionary Express

LECTURE

TALK ON FDR BY PULITZER LAUREATE DAVID KENNEDY AT DCC

P

ulitzer Prizewinning historian Dr. David Kennedy, Stanford University professor emeritus, will discuss Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s life, presidency and legacy on Thursday, October 19 at 7 p.m. at the James and Betty Hall Theatre on the Dutchess Community College (DCC) campus at 90 Cottage Road in Poughkeepsie. Kennedy is the author of several books including Freedom from Fear: The American People in Depression and War. Freedom from Fear tells the story of the New Deal’s achievements, without slighting its shortcomings, contradictions and failures. It is a story rich in drama and peopled with unforgettable personalities, including the incandescent-but-enigmatic figure of Roosevelt himself.

Kennedy received his PhD in American Studies from Yale. His scholarship is notable for its integration of economic and cultural analysis with social and political history. His 1970 book Birth Control in America: The Career of Margaret Sanger embraced the medical, legal, political and religious dimensions of the subject and helped pioneer the emerging field of Women’s History. Over Here: The First World War and American Society (1980) used the history of American involvement in World War I to analyze the American political system, economy and culture in the early 20th century. The Pulitzer Prizewinning Freedom from Fear: The American People in Depression and War (1999) recounts the history of the US in the two great crises of the Great Depression and World War II. This is the inaugural event in the David Conklin Distinguished Lecture Series, established to recognize DCC’s fourth president, who retired in 2014. This lecture is free and open to the public. Visitors are advised to park in Lot D. For more information, call (845) 431-8400.

Trolley Ride: a trip back in time on the trolley from Kingston’s historic Rondout District out to Kingston Point Park, where visitors can comfortably watch reenactors at close range. The round-trip ride costs $5 and picks up at 10:30 a.m. sharp at the end of Broadway. It returns by noon.

There is limited seating available; more info and tickets are available at www. tmny.org.

The British landing begins on Saturday at 11 a.m. with a dramatic reenactment at Kingston Point Park along the Hudson River (not at Kingston Point Beach, it should be noted). Parking is available at the park, or city bus shuttles (Broadway) are available.

The Hudson River Maritime Museum (HRMM) at 50 Rondout Landing will offer a full day of activities on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Learn about the strategic naval importance of the Hudson River during the American Revolution and play Colonial-era games like Nine Men’s Morris and the Game of Graces

from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the courtyard.

Visitors will create their own Nine Men’s Morris game board to take home. The documentary Fort Montgomery, about the British takeover prior to the burning of the city, will be screened throughout the day. Admission costs $7 for adults, $5 for seniors and children.

The Kingston Volunteer Firemen’s Museum at 266 Fair Street is adding a new element to the day’s events with a bucket brigade contest at 1 p.m. and viewing of its museum exhibit all day.

At 2:45 p.m., the Senate House will relive the moments when American Colonists fled the Senate House with key possessions, including important documents. Minutes later, British troops will arrive at the Senate House, replacing the flag of the Colonists with the British flag. (Those who wish to receive “Loyalty Papers” in advance to avoid capture may do so at the Persen House.) Reenactors will dispatch Colonial resisters and prepare to march through the Stockade.

By 3 p.m., visitors can witness British troops advancing up Fair Street, turning at Main Street in the Stockade District, where they’ll be attacked by the remnants of the local Militia but seize the Persen House. The Redcoats will march down Main to Green Street and then Crown Street, arriving at the historic Four Corners of Kingston for a final street battle scene at John and Crown Streets.

With the fighting over by 3:45 p.m., the Redcoats will hold a victory celebration and dispatch the mayor of Kingston.

Redcoat and militia camps set up at Forsyth Park will be open to the public from 6:30 to 8 p.m., with impromptu lectures on the Revolution.

Saturday evening closes out with the Colonial Grand Ball, featuring live music in the Common Council Chambers of the Kingston City Hall at 420 Broadway.

Attendees are encouraged to wear 18thcentury garb to get into the spirit of things and dance to “the real oldies”: music from the 1770s. Free dance lessons will begin at 7 p.m., followed by the ball. Bus shuttles will run continuously throughout the evening from Forsyth Park to City Hall (with stops along the way), starting at 6:15 p.m. The last shuttle back leaves City Hall at 11:30 p.m.

Sunday, October 15 is the final day of the commemoration. Reenactor camps at Forsyth Park will be open to the public from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. See company drills, safety inspections and demonstrations. The only scheduled tour of the camps will take place at 11 a.m. (sharp), with opportunities for visitors to test their own mettle with 18th-century drills and camp life.

A live-action tactical demonstration showing how American and British troops battled it out in 1777 will be held at Forsyth Park at 12:30 p.m.

At the Persen House from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Colonial medical reenactor Don Terpening will give demonstrations of

medical treatment in Colonial times.

All weekend long, visitors to the Persen House can try their hand at historic games that include the Game of Graces, Jacob’s Ladder, Hoop-Rolling and Whirligigs.

The site will also feature two exhibits of drawings and paintings created by Kingston students, “A Fingerprint on History” and “The Stockade and the Hudson River,” illustrating the connection between the past and our future.

It’s fun, too: “We touch on all the New Age stuff,” she says, “but the New Age stuff is silly, and we laugh along with everybody else.” Laurena Allan, Eleanor Hutchins, Linda Mancini, Emily McDonnell, Laura Stinger, Sarah Willis and Jessica Weinstein will perform along with Kempson, with music by Julie LaMendola and choreography by Linda Mancini.

Beckoning Bigfoot Mount Tremper Arts premieres Sibyl Kempson’s Sasquatch Rituals on Saturday

W

hen Sibyl Kempson begins her Performance Writing classes at Sarah Lawrence University, she asks her students to dig back into their lives and find the experiences from their childhood that brought them to that class with her on that day. But she only finally discovered her own. When the playwright was growing up in suburban Pequannock, New Jersey, she had a neighbor named Mr. Lonsky. Mr. Lonsky

worked in special effects for film, and every Halloween he would go all-out on decorations, building structures on his front lawn from sticks and cobwebs, and answering the door, under extensive makeup, as a mummy, or a witch, or Frankenstein’s Monster, or any number of other spooky creations, performing for all the neighborhood kids.

“There was this monster that you knew from television, and suddenly there it was right in front of you,” she remembers.

“It was a total transformation.” It was so exciting, she remembers, to wonder whether it actually was Mr. Lonsky under there. As a kid, it was impossible to tell. “It was my favorite thing. It was such a gift to us.” That draw, towards transcendence and transformation, awe and fear and thrill, has populated all of her work since.

This Saturday, October 14 will see the outdoor debut of Kempson’s newest work, Sasquatch Rituals, at the Mount Tremper Arts Center near Phoenicia.

Six performers, all women, will conduct rituals written by Kempson all throughout the Mount Tremper campus, singing songs composed by Julie LaMendola to choreography by Linda Mancini. “I feel like I am doing with my life what I was as

a kid – plus a lot of administrative work,” she laughs.

Though Kempson says that she only fell deeply into Bigfoot lore in recent years, she connects it to experiences that have followed her throughout her life. As a child in suburban New Jersey, she recalls feeling watched while out in the woods, and she would watch Leonard Nimoy’s In Search Of with her father, a science teacher, and get frightened by episodes on the Sasquatch and other cryptozoological phenomena. “There was always the sense that there’s something out there that no one’s really acknowledging,” she remembers.

As she grew up and began working in experimental theater and dance, both as a performer and a writer, she reached back to that earlier feeling for her “creative engine – that stuff that we don’t really have all that much information on.” She began to explore these liminal spaces between the material and the immaterial, the empirical and the experiential, with various theater troupes and in plays like Crime and Emergency and The Securely Conferred, Vouchsafed Keepsakes of Maery S. The latter served both as a public blooming of her Bigfoot enthusiasm, as well as a companion piece for Sasquatch Rituals. In that play, Mary Shelley and Frankenstein’s Monster travel from Europe to America, and he takes on the role of the Sasquatch. While doing research for that play, as well as the earlier, yeti-tangential From the Pigpile: Requisite Gesture(s) of Narrow Approach, Kempson came upon the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization, the BFRO, whose online forums were packed full of individual Bigfoot sightings. She ended up reading hundreds of accounts, staying up late into the night to mainline them. “I couldn’t stop reading them,” she says. “They scared the crap out of me.”

While Kempson doesn’t feel comfortable declaring the truth of Bigfoot one way or another (“I’m not going to come out in the newspaper and say it,” she laughs), she remained fascinated by how terrifying and ultimately profound these reported experiences invariably were. “People feel like they’re crazy; it defies everything they’ve ever been told. They can’t get proof and they’ve been trying for 25 or 30 years and it constantly eludes them. I love it!”

By following the patterns contained within the BFRO sightings, the almostritualistic form that they seem to take, she believes there is something deeply tied to the human condition in the Bigfoot phenomenon. “Whether you can’t look up and see it or touch it,” she says, “it’s there. It’s been with us for a long time.”

11

ALMANAC WEEKLY

October 12, 2017 Kempson integrated these Bigfoot testimonials into Maery S., using them to tell the story of Shelley’s relationship to her own creativity as personified in the Monster and, eventually, Bigfoot.

“I’m not a person who needs proof,” she says. “When I go into the woods I don’t bring a video camera; I don’t need a picture.” She recalls strange screams and crashes as well as what is known to BFRs as “ e y e s h i n e ,” whereby eyelike points will glow in the darkness.

Once, while camping, she woke up in the night to what appeared to be something grabbing her toe through the tent wall, a hazy experience that her dog slept straight through. It’s spooky, all right, but Kempson really isn’t interested in a definite conclusion. “I don’t know who or what did it,” she laughs, “but I know something grabbed my toe.”

So that’s the Sasquatch. But what about the Ritual?

“Ritual is something that we don’t have in the same way that a lot of [other] cultures do,” she says. “A lot of times it’s about opening a veil that normally hangs over our belief system and our everyday perception. A culture that lives more traditionally and closer to nature acknowledges that there are a lot of things that exist that we can’t perceive, that our human perception can only go so far.”

Kempson believes that ritual removes that veil, exposing the individual and the collective to sensations and realities that, were they to do so on a daily basis, would leave us unable to function.

She references the Hopi tradition of bifurcating the world into the Manifest and the Manifesting: “what we can see and touch and prove…and that which is coming into being.” “We don’t have an opportunity to experience that,” Kempson says, “that’s acceptable within our culture.”

Her art can serve as one such outlet, if those present want it to be. She wants to take experiences that might be unsettling or even terrifying and transform them into moments of joy and release.

After the debut of Maery S., Kempson used all this excess Bigfoot ephemera as the foundation for further artistic experimentation. She and other women began to meet out in the woods to work on something “shamanic,” a “reciprocal” art that “gave something back to the world around us.” Transmuting that initial fear into something more bracing but also more liberating, she took the Sasquatch as “a protective embodiment of the land and the deeper meaning of our relationship to it.”

Sasquatch Rituals is not her first piece dealing with this rending of the physical to get at the spiritual. 12 Shouts to the Ten Forgotten Heavens, a collaboration with the scholar Thomas Riccio, will be held at the Whitney Museum of American Art every Solstice and Equinox until December 2018, incorporating Riccio’s

knowledge of indigenous American Indian traditions and art into a greater base framework of ritual. She wants to emphasize that these greater human similarities, no matter an audience’s origins, allow those watching to “go back into our own cultures, our own cellular makeup,” and “affirm our existence and give us a deeper role in our communities.”

These principles pervade K e m p s o n’s 7 Daughters of Eve Thtr and Perf Company, an all-female group that she founded in 2015.

T he company “unearths and contemplates – in contexts of live performance, ritual and installation – places in human and non-human history where science, religion and feminism intersect.”

According to Kempson, there was another, simpler reason: “I had an idea for the piece, and I wanted to start bossing people around. But you can’t do that when it’s not your own company!”

But even this has begun to change.

With Sasquatch Rituals, some of the other performers began to step up and contribute writing: something about which Kempson is very excited. They first met in October 2016 to work on the piece at the invitation of Mount Tremper Arts artistic director Mathew Pokoik. Kempson explained what moved the piece, and Pokoik found it irresistible.

Kempson and her performers met several more times to create a piece tailored specifically to the property and landscape – climbing up Mount Tremper itself, camping in the woods at night and visiting sites where local residents had reported Bigfoot sightings. Kempson

Kempson became interested in the Catskills as a performance site after learning about its high rate of alleged Bigfoot sightings.

As a ritual for a brief time opens a channel between the material and the immaterial, the Bigfoot phenomenon possesses both physical and psychological qualities. Between the individual and the collective, the human and the environment, these are the linkages that Kempson hopes to open up with her work. The Sasquatch is just garnish. “If there’s a larger meaning in the piece,” she says, “then this is it: that we’re far more connected to our surroundings than we think we are.”

Ultimately, she hopes to explore how we see the world around us. That a large hairy gigantopedal ape species could be living among us is an exciting prospect for Kempson, even if she won’t cop to believing it through and through. “How exciting is that,” she enthuses, “that we still have this phenomenon out there that can’t be explained? Even if it’s a mass hallucination of some kind, it’s even better.”

October 12, 2017

To Kill a Mockingbird opens on Thursday SUNY-New Paltz A story that never seems to lose its relevance, and in fact only gains new dimensions of meaning in the present, Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird is a quintessential American story.

Christopher Sergel obtained Lee’s permission to adapt the novel for the stage in the early 1970s, but Sergel’s play did not premiere until 1991. The Department of Theatre Arts at SUNYNew Paltz proudly presents To Kill a Mockingbird, the first Mainstage Productions play of the 2017-18 season, with performances from October 12 to 15 and 19 to 22 at Parker Theatre on the New Paltz campus.

To Kill a Mockingbird is directed by assistant professor Catherine Doherty, a two-time Telly Award recipient with an MFA in Performance from the University of Georgia and an MFA in Directing from the American Film Institute. The Friday, October 13 performance will be preceded by a panel conversation, beginning at 6:30 p.m., featuring SUNY-New Paltz faculty and K-12 teachers from the Hudson Valley Writing Project. Panelists will discuss how To Kill a Mockingbird speaks to our current cultural and political landscape, while also considering what lessons the play holds for students of all ages. This special event will also be held in Parker Theatre.

Performances will be given from October 12 to 14 and 19 to 21, beginning at 8 p.m., with Sunday matinée performances on October 15 and 22 at 2 p.m. All performances will take place at Parker Theatre. Tickets cost $18 general reserve, $16 for seniors (62+), New Paltz faculty, alumni staff and non-New Paltz students and $10 for SUNY-New Paltz students.

Tickets are available via the online box office, or by phone or in person at the Parker Theatre box office, open Monday through Friday from 11:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Contact the box office at (845) 257-

Comedian Chris Gethard will perform at Colony in Woodstock this Saturday, October 14 at 9 p.m.

STAGE

Chris Gethard performs this Saturday at Colony in Woodstock

C

hris Gethard is literally an engaging comedian. In his podcast Beautiful Stories from Anonymous People, he engages his listeners in a shared and therapeutic storytelling. He solicits their experiences, homing in on acute crises and chronic themes, offering an unironic, frank and conspiratorial blend of narrative steering, commentary and advice in his soft-but-insistent tenor. He first came to my attention when a lengthy, compassionate and confessional response he had written to a letter from a suicidal fan went viral. In it, Gethard substantiated his urgent message of hope with the details of his own serious struggles with depression. So from the first, Gethard was a new-model confessional and interactive comedian – to my ears, more a part of ‘zine culture or the NPR-headquartered memoir and oral history renaissance than anything like the milieu of traditional standup.

The telling and receiving of personal truths – not spiel, characters or joke setups – is the heartbeat of Gethard’s comedy, even when he is doing conventional standup. He seems driven by the impulse to divulge, to articulate a self and to connect. It’s no wonder that, like so many of today’s zeitgeist comedians and comic actors, Gethard was trained in the long-form ensemble improvisation of the Upright Citizens’ Brigade, a troupe (founded by Amy Poehler among others) that became an authenticated method and school: an extension of or response to the improvisational techniques of Viola Spolin, whose interactive theater games had inspired the Second City phenomenon a few generations earlier.

Gethard works at the radical fringe of confessional comedy, perilously near the borders of serious and not all that funny. The form at which he has arrived seems only one rebranding away from Moreno’s psychodrama or Playback Theater, Jonathan Fox’s New Paltz-based school of improvisational theater as therapy. But his gentle wit, delivered in a naturally wafting, highpitched voice that seems barely tethered to the Earth at all, keeps it light. A smidge-and-a-half too old to be of the Millennial generation, Gethard is rather the voice of its anxieties. He is their Spalding Gray.

Like all man-as-brand performers of this age, he is fluidly, naturally multichannel. He rose to Brooklyn cult fame on the strength of a public access television show known for its tight association with the music of the boroughs (mostly indie and punk). The Chris Gethard Show became as notable for the bands it helped break as for Gethard himself. He has branched in all directions: a spate of acting roles, a book, the podcast, a comedy record and of course, the crowning imprimatur of the serious comedian who has arrived: an HBO special – his Judd Apatow-produced one-man show Career Suicide.

Gethard does it all with an out-on-a-limb vulnerability and a genuinely tenuous composure that is, as the kids so infuriatingly say, relatable. One other thing, though: He is really funny.

Chris Gethard widens the scope at Colony in Woodstock on Saturday, October 14 at 9 p.m. (the doors open at 7). Tickets cost $15 in advance and $20 on the day of the show. For tickets and additional information, visit www.colonywoodstock.com.

Colony is located at 22 Rock City Road in Woodstock.

f you’ve never read “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” you probably think of it as a terrifying tale of a graveyard haunted by the vengeful ghost of a Hessian soldier decapitated during the Revolutionary War. That’s how it gets the Hollywood treatment. If you have actually read Washington Irving’s original short story, then you know that it’s really a tongue-in-cheek yarn, with some spooky atmospherics, recounting from the victim’s point of view an elaborate hoax staged by a young courting couple to scare away the maiden’s unwelcome suitor: Ichabod Crane, a smug, pompous schoolmaster who also happens to be quite superstitious. In sum, it’s more droll than genuinely scary.

Haunted Huguenot Street returns to New Paltz In addition to its thriving and extravagant Halloween parade, New

Paltz has several venerable and crafted haunted house traditions, from the Guenther House’s campy themes rendered and performed in exquisite theatrical detail to the yearly marvel of design, daring and wit that fills the Teen Seen uptown. But let’s face it: When it comes to hauntings, Huguenot Street has a leg up. Old houses accumulate a sense of spirit, if not actual spirits, and these are the oldest on the continent.

But Haunted Huguenot Street is about historical learning and a sense of place, as well as about spooked seasonal fun. It is a series of tours and interactive encounters that runs on Huguenot Street on the evenings of October 13, 14, 20, 21, 27 and 28. The tours will take guests through four historic structures and the burial ground.

Come hear centuries-old Lenape legends

in the replica Esopus Munsee Native American wigwam; meet past residents of Huguenot Street who experienced paranormal activity in their homes; learn about the rise of spiritualism and séances; and witness the fixation with the “Mysterious Talking Board” that mystified the country in the 19th and 20th centuries.

Haunted Huguenot Street tours will depart hourly, beginning at 5 p.m., from the DuBois Fort Visitor Center at 81 Huguenot Street. The final tour leaves at 9 p.m. Preregistration is strongly encouraged, as tours sell out quickly. General admission costs $25 (10 percent off for seniors and military).

Jez Lowe plays ArtFarm in Accord this Friday

homeei, or Tuvan throat singing, is a specialized vocal technique that has haunted Western listeners for several decades because of a popular documentary film and several fortuitous musical collaborations. As magical as it sounds to Western ears, Khomeei, it is posited, arose from the functional needs of Mongolian herders to be…well, heard over great open expanses. That it should now be considered the pinnacle of the exotic and esoteric reminds me of what T. S. Elliot said of the runes: that they were “very practical formulae designed to produce definite results, such as getting a cow out of a bog.”

Named for a river that runs through the northwestern region of Tuva, Alash is an ensemble comprised entirely of master Tuvan throat singers. The singers in Alash first learned the traditional technique from their families, and later banded together under the name Changy-Xaya as students at Kyzyl Arts College. Rooted in tradition, Alash is unafraid of innovation and global fusion; In 2002 under the guidance of Kongar-ool Ondar (known to Western audiences for his role in the film Genghis Blues), Alash began to introduce

BSP in Kingston hosts Team Love threefer concert The New Paltz-headquartered Team Love Records was originally founded by Bright Eyes songwriter Connor Oberst and his friend Nathanial Krenkel. Oberst has since left the team, but Team Love lives on and thrives as a boutique label specializing in indie Americana, many piquant flavors of lo-fi and non-binary smart rock. The label may have vacated its office and gallery on Church Street in New Paltz, but the space has since been taken over by kindred spirits in Lagusta’s Luscious Commissary, which continues the room’s use as a hopping and well-curated do-it-yourself venue.

On Thursday, October 19, BSP in Kingston hosts a kind of showcase of Team Love acts: one local, two on the road. The headliner is the sonically fascinating, Providence-based, electricpiano-led trio Roz and the Rice Cakes, whose latest single “Do You,” is a swirling and musically rich bit of psych-pop with an awful lot going on it. Guilt Mountain is the long-running musical alias of the New Paltz-based ‘zine artist and songwriter Kate Larson, who specializes in subtly confessional and slanted storytelling and a heaping portion of Pavementesque slack. Guilt Mountain’s charming Team Love debut Rare Energy was recorded at Christopher Daly’s Salvation Recording in New Paltz and released on cassette.

Maine-born, Queens-residing lo-fi songwriter Tica Douglas released her debut Our Lady Star of the Sea, Help and Protect Us on Team Love in 2017.

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

Cover story I’m sowing my not-so-wild oats to blanket my garden for winter

W

hew! Just made it under the wire – sowing cover crops, that is.

(Cover crops are plants grown solely to improve the soil.)

With the vegetable garden still filled to the brim – now overflowing with cabbage, kale, mustard, arugula, lettuce, Chinese cabbages and radishes, with even corn and peppers still yielding well – where am I going to find room to plant a cover crop?

Despite the cornucopia, some plants (the corn, peppers and other warmth-loving vegetables) are on their way out. As they peter out, it’s too late in the season to sow any more radishes, lettuce or any of the other cool-season crops; there’s not enough time or sunlight for them to mature.

No reason to leave a recently cleared bed of early corn, early beans or okra bare, so I planted those beds to a cover crop.

Problem is that, after a certain time of year, there’s not enough time or sunlight for even a cover crop to grow enough to do some good for the soil. My date for that is early October. Further south it will be later; further north, earlier.

Right after clearing a bed of spent vegetable plants, I go over it carefully to remove every weed. Then I smooth the ground and give it a thorough watering to give the cover crop plants a quick start.

What plants? Oats.

I grow oats as a cover crop because I never till the soil in my vegetable beds.

Oats love the cool weather of fall and early winter, quickly sprouting into a lush green carpet. By February, though, that lush carpet turns tawny and flops down on the ground, dead. Come spring, I could plant right through that mulch. Or it could be rolled up with a grass rake, or just pulled off barehanded; removing it speeds soil warming.

Other good cover crops for no-till gardens are barley and, to add nitrogen to the soil as well, peas. Gardeners who till their ground usually plant rye grain as a cover crop. It survives winter, then grows with a vengeance in spring – hence the need for tillage.

Back to that watered bed: I sprinkle the bed with oat seeds, then top the bed with an inch of compost. Green sprouts poke through that compost blanket in a couple of days or so.

organic matter to the soil. That inch of compost is already organic matter, and plenty of it.

In fact, I have never observed any better growth from a bed that has been covercropped over one that received only the compost blanket. And for some reason, the cover-cropped beds always seem to have more weeds in them in spring – surprising, since a cover crop should be shading or pumping out natural chemicals to suppress weeds! Perhaps some weeds insinuate themselves in fall in among the oat plants, where I can’t see them. My plan, this spring, is to cover some of the cover-cropped beds for a week or so with a black blanket (recycled billboard tarp, available online), which will warm the ground up quicker and snuff out potential weeds.

Even cover crops’ potential benefit of enriching the ground with organic matter doesn’t always pan out – and surely not the way I plant them. Organic matter is largely carbon. Young plants are relatively rich in nitrogen and poor in carbon: a ratio that reverses as the plants age. A young cover crop, then, doesn’t add organic matter to the soil; its excess nitrogen could even contribute to the oxidation and loss of organic matter. Oats planted this time of year grow lushly, but never mature enough to tip the scales in that early ratio of nitrogen and carbon.

Still, I’m planting a cover crop – for some of its other benefits. Rain and snow in the coming months can wash nutrients down and out of the soil.

The oat roots, as long as they are alive, can suck up those errant nutrients and keep them nearer the surface for next season’s vegetable plants. Cover crops also soften the impact of rain pounding on the soil, preventing erosion.

As roots of cover-crop plants push through and ramify in the soil, they nudge soil particles around to improve tilth (structure of the soil), making it crumbly – all to the liking of plants. These roots also team up and nourish other organisms, such as fungi, that improve tilth. Channels of varying size are left in the soil as roots die off and rot away. Such channels provide easy conduits for new roots, as well as for air and water.

And finally, I’m planting cover crops for myself. With green fading from the landscape into reds, yellows and tawny browns, it’s refreshing to look upon the green carpet rather than bare soil in the vegetable garden.

ALMANAC WEEKLY

October 12, 2017 quires no telescope or sky knowledge, but makes everyone gasp in amazement.

Think back. When were you truly blown away? The last total eclipse of the Sun in Ulster County was on January 24, 1925.

But yes, you were amazed if you saw one of this area’s great auroral displays.

They’re not common here. But the entire sky exploded all night long, from horizon to horizon, on March 13, 1989. And we had a gorgeous deep-red display in the autumn of 2001, and several others in the ‘80s and ‘90s; but none, now, for the past 16 years.

And weren’t you impressed with Comet Hale Bopp in 1997? And Comet West, too, if you were looking east before dawn way back on March 6, 1976.

And the great Leonid meteor shower in the predawn hours of November 18, 2001.

That’s when our region, under clear skies, saw six brilliant-green shooting stars every minute! All displayed prominent trains (meaning lingering trails or tails). It was the best meteor shower of our lives.

Some of the media hype “super” sky events every year, but they’re often not worth anyone’s time. A so-called “Supermoon” looks no different from any other Full Moon. Halley’s Comet was a big disappointment back in the autumn of 1985. And the summer Perseid meteor shower has, many years, been masked by clouds, haze or a too-bright Moon.

So, now that the “Great American Total Eclipse” is over, what spectacles await us? What are the truly noteworthy

“wonders-to-come” for the next dozen years?

The first is an amazing Winter Solstice super-conjunction in 2020, when Saturn will appear as close to Jupiter as some of its moons! The two planets will merge into a single “star” to the naked eye. Through backyard telescopes, both giant planets will be side-by-side in the same field of view. I’ve never seen two planets that close together in my whole life. That’s just three years away.

People willing to travel (perhaps by joining me and Special Interest Tours) can see mind-boggling auroras and other wonders elsewhere in the world each year, especially in Chile. But those who like to stay home can look ahead to the 2024 US totality on April 8, here in the Northeast.

That’s followed by the longest total eclipse between now and the 22 nd century, under guaranteed clear skies,

2pm-4pm Royal to the Crown: British Art from the George Way Collection. Connoisseurship cares nothing of novelty – it cares about preserving history – and with introducing the beauty of the past to a new generation. George Way’s collection of British art is unique on many levels. Culled from years of stalwart searching – it represents a cumulative view of majesty. There are miniatures of Queen Mary and Charles I, chests and chairs from the Charles II period and beautiful paintings, such as the portrait of Henrietta Maria, wife of Charles I attributed to Sir Anthony van Dyck. The collection recalls a royal point of view from the centuries preceding our American Revolution.

It is precisely this tradition of loyalty and deference to the Crown that we want to call attention to. George Way is a steward of the past. Orangetown Historical Museum & Archives, 196 Chief Bill Harris Way, Orangeburg. orangetown.com/ orangetown-historical-museum-and-archives.

Animals

Look who’s in the CAT ROOM at Saugerties Animal Shelter! All of these wonderful cats are ready to be adopted to loving homes. All adult cats & older kittens have been spayed/neutered, up to date w/shots and litter pan trained. All kittens are up to date w/shots and litter pan trained. TIMOTHY- BIG ORANGE CAT BOY. Timothy’s guardian gave Timothy to someone who said she’d take care of him but couldn’t. So now Timothy, who’s 10-years old, is looking for the stability of a loving home. He needs a home where he can learn to trust again.

OREO; black and white tuxedo female & very loving who was abandoned and left outside to fend for herself & is about 4-years old. PEPPER; black & white tuxedo female.

Poor Pepper’s human guardian passed away and she needs someone to love her and to make her life whole. We think this quiet girl is 5-6 years old. MABEL; laid back all black female cat. We think this sweet girl is about 2-years old. HAPPY is a not so happy 3-year old black female cat. Many cats get depressed and sad being in a shelter, no matter how nice the shelter is and Happy is one of those cats. And there are Young Kittens and “Teenage” Kittens, too, who’d be so happy to be in a wonderful forever home. All need loving homes. Visit and see if you meet the newest member of your family! Saugerties Animal Shelter 1765 NY 212. Saugerties, NY (845)679-0339.

Missing: Our Beautiful, 3-year old Black and White Long-Haired female CAT, Polly, from the Zena area since 8/28. 2 extra toes on each front paw. She’s very shy and very good at hiding in small spaces. Please call 845-679-9550 or 845-901-0445.
