History talk in Highland about prison uprisings The Town of Lloyd Historical Preservation Society will present “New York State Prison Uprisings and Escapes”

Michael Doyle takes the Subzero Heroes plunge at Berean Park in Highland. Money raised by the intrepid swimmers supports the Alzheimer’s Association’s goals of supporting families living with the disease while pursuing a cure.

BENEFIT

Take the plunge Subzero Heroes to raise funds for Alzheimer’s Association in Highland

H

aven’t fulfilled your New Year’s resolution to get more involved in charitable causes in 2018? Go jump in the lake! The mid-Hudson chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association has put out its annual call for brave souls to take an icy dip at the reservoir at Berean Park in Highland on Saturday, February 10. Heck, nearly anybody can take part in a walkathon; but only the truly intrepid have the nerve to become Subzero Heroes.

This year’s event, expected to draw more 1,000 participants, “sidekicks” and spectators, will feature heated tents, with separate community changing areas for men and women. Check-in happens from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m., with the jump itself starting promptly at noon. Coffee and snacks will be provided.

Berean Park is located at 49 Reservoir Road, on the flanks of Illinois Mountain in the Town of Lloyd. The 50 parking spots on-site are for use only by those with a permit, including emergency responders, event staff, handicapped folks and senior citizens. If you fall into one of these categories, contact Lauren Voorhees at (914) 391-4161 or lvoorhees@alz.org to request a parking pass. All other event guests can park in the Tractor Supply parking lot at the Bridgeview Plaza, located at 3650 Route 9W in Highland. Shuttles will run in a continuous loop from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Funds raised for Subzero Heroes help support the Alzheimer’s Association’s goals of supporting families living with the disease while pursuing a cure. To preregister and download the required waiver form, visit www.subzeroheroes.org. Volunteers are also needed for setup, breakdown and crowd control.

on Monday, February 5. Guest speaker David Miller, former superintendent at Eastern New York Correctional Facility in Napanoch, will return to Highland to speak for a second time on prison issues and history. The program will be held in the Vineyard Commons Theater at 7 p.m. and will be a very different program from the 2015 presentation by Miller, when he spoke about the progressive policies at Eastern.

This time around, Miller will discuss the dark side of prison life: riots, escapes and disturbances throughout New York State’s prison system. He’ll talk about the infamous Attica riot, the hostage standoff at Sing Sing and escapes from several facilities, including Eastern. He’ll examine the historical context of each and share the causes and the details of the incidents that sparked them, as well as the changes spurred by such events.

Vineyard Commons is located at 300 Vineyard Avenue, approximately one mile from the hamlet of Highland on Route 44/55. To reach the theater, turn into Vineyard Commons and follow the signs to Building 6. Early arrivals get the best

parking spaces. Copies of Miller’s book based on his experiences, Punishment Enough, will be available for purchase.

Saugerties hosts talk on Kingston archaeology this Saturday The Friends of Historic Saugerties will present “Unearthing Our Past: The Archaeology of Kingston” on Saturday, February 3 at 2 p.m. in the Community Room of the Saugerties Public Library, located at 91 Washington Avenue. Associate professor of Anthropology Joseph E. Diamond will speak about the project that he’s currently at work on: synthesizing the archaeological data accumulated within the City of Kingston since the early 20th century.

As far back as 12,000 years ago (and lasting until contact with the Dutch in 1609), Native American tribes throve in Ulster County. The talk will provide

an overview of the sites that have been investigated, as well as an in-depth discussion of specific sites that Diamond feels are most significant. He will discuss unearthed Colonial-era Dutch and English materials, as well as later industrial finds from the 19th century.

All Friends of Historic Saugerties events are open to anyone interested in history.

Admission to the talk is free. For more information, call the library at (845) 2464317 or check out Friends of Historic Saugerties on Facebook.

MOVIE

NEON

Sebastian Stan, Margot Robbie and Julianne Nicholson in I, Tonya

Spinning in midair I, Tonya is cinematically exciting, emotionally manipulative

L

ike many of the most useful adjectives in English, the term “artful� has multiple shades of meaning, with sometimes more than one of them deployed at the same time. It can signify “aesthetically pleasing� and “technically skilled�; but it can also mean “intentionally deceptive.� At the moment I can’t think of a more succinct word to describe, in an introductory way, the movie I, Tonya.

Remembering the lurid media circus that exploded around the rivalry between figureskating superstars Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan back in the 1990s, I was reluctant to go see this film, despite the amount of critical praise already heaped upon it. My anxiety about being manipulated into feeling unearned sympathy for the black-humored biopic’s subject was not unfounded, as it turned out; but the product is more complex than I anticipated, and worthy of much admiration as a work of cinema.

Being manipulative of human emotions is, of course, one of art’s legitimate, time-honored functions. In its best

manifestations, the viewer can revel without guilt or restraint in the lofty feelings that it shakes free. At other times, what is dislodged feels more like an abscessed tooth that we didn’t realize was throbbing inside us. And once we’ ve reached adulthood, it’s generally a good thing to know when and how we’re being manipulated.

I, Tonya is an artful film in every sense of the word. Though made on a low ($11 million) budget, it’s technically b r i l l i a n t , seamlessly edited; there’s a long, uninterrupted tracking shot, beginning by going around hallway corners inside a house and ending from the perspective of an accelerating automobile, that will make you wonder, “How the hell did they do that?� The CGI and facial recognition software effects employed in superimposing Margot Robbie’s face on the bodies of her two stunt doubles as they execute triple axels – in slow motion, even – are utterly persuasive miracles of modern technology.

I’d also recommend seeing I, Tonya for the acting, especially by Robbie as Harding and the awesome Allison Janney, who brings Tonya’s mom LaVona to delectably awful life as the ultimate Stage

In a year notable for its wealth of big-screen depictions of toxic mother/daughter pairings, this one stands right up there with Lady Bird and The Florida Project.

Allison Janney brings Tonya’s mom LaVona to delectably awful life as the ultimate Stage Mother from Hell. It may or may not be fair to the real-life LaVona, but her portrayal takes the character’s bitter cynicism to a magisterial level.

resentment was the only thing that could have worked to motivate her daughter to achieve anything at all.

We are informed right up front that this is a mockumentary populated by unreliable narrators, with screenwriter Steven Rogers and director Craig Gillespie inserting title text stating that the story is “based on irony-free, willfully contradictory, totally true interviews with Tonya Harding and Jeff Gillooly,� the skater’s ex-husband, played by Sebastian Stan. In cutaways set two decades after the incidents of the Harding/Kerrigan “incident,� Robbie and Stan talk directly to the camera, occasionally saying “This didn’t happen� in reference to the other’s account; they also frequently break

Narrated by actor Samuel L. Jackson, the documentary was nominated for Best Documentary Feature at the 89th Academy Awards. It explores the history of racism in the US through Baldwin’s reminiscences of Civil Rights leaders Medgar Evers, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr. and his personal observations of American history. The screening will be followed by a discussion led by Odell Winfield. The event is co-sponsored by Odell Winfield, the Jewish Congregation of New Paltz and the New Paltz Historical Society. The screening on Thursday will replace the usual monthly meeting of NPHS on the first Wednesday of each month, and is held in conjunction with Black History Month.

North by Northwest coming to Bardavon big screen Some of this legendary Hitchcock thriller was filmed in Hyde Park

L

ive organists accompanying – or at least introducing – the showing of vintage movies may seem like a bit of quaint hipster nostalgia, but there is simply no denying the power of the old organs. It is a sound that the digital replication arts have yet to conquer, which is ironic considering that vintage organ themes are essentially mechanical additive synthesizers and they should be the easiest thing in the world to sample. On cannot sample ghosts, it turns out.

The Bardavon has harnessed the power of its old organ – a rig that wouldn’t fit in many living rooms. Its mini-concerts on the Mighty Wurlitzer take place 30 minutes before its screenings of film classics. On Friday, February 9, the classic in question in Alfred Hitchcock’s 1956 thriller North by Northwest, in which a hapless New York advertising executive is mistaken for a government agent by a group of foreign spies, and is pursued across the country while he looks for a way to survive. The film stars Cary Grant, Eva Marie Saint and James Mason. Part of the movie was shot nearby at the Hyde Park railroad station.

Keep your eyes out for the scene where the train comes to an unexpected halt and federal agents climb aboard.

The event begins at 7:30 p.m. Admission costs $6. The Bardavon is located at 35 Market Street in Poughkeepsie. For more information, visit www.bardavon.org.

through the fourth wall without missing a beat during the flashback sequences that make up most of the movie.

But despite the explicit invitations to take everything we see onscreen with a large grain of salt, the movie still comes off as special pleading on Harding’s behalf. For every time that we cringe when she turns to the camera and says, “But that wasn’t my fault,” there are three or four scenes of her being brutalized by her mother or her husband, tugging at our sympathies. Then the film takes another turn worthy of an Olympic skater by directly accusing the audience of complicity in the persecution of Tonya Harding.

Confusing the directorial point-of-view further are the many depictions of Harding hitting back, or conspiring in her own victimization by succumbing repeatedly to Gillooly’s pleas for forgiveness – not to mention the (likely exaggerated) scenes in which the skating competition judges unfairly shave points off Harding’s scores on account of her working-class persona and unpolished “presentation.” The film would have us believe that her artfulness was wanting in a way that can be attributed to class bias, which was indeed a large part of public perception at the time of the original events, making Harding something of an antihero even then.

Even while it encourages us to see Harding as a victim of her hardscrabble upbringing, I, Tonya indulges itself excessively in its visual and narrative wallow in the world of “white trash” America, which it uses to excite morbid humor considerably more than it does empathy. This is particularly true in the use of supporting characters in Harding and Gillooly’s orbit – especially his best friend/ her bodyguard Shawn Eckhardt (Paul Walter Hauser), depicted as a mother’sbasement-dwelling loser with delusions of involvement in international espionage.

The movie would have it that kneecapping Nancy Kerrigan was entirely Eckhardt’s inspiration, and that Harding herself probably knew nothing, other than that some psychological warfare – shown as endemic to the world of highstakes figure skating – was going on. As journalist J. E. Vader, who covered the whole Harding/Kerrigan story for the Oregonian back in the day, points out, Eckhardt is now conveniently dead.

You might want to read her analysis at http://bit.ly/2rNNPNM before going to see I, Tonya. Like I said, there’s nothing inherently wrong with a work of art being artful in the manipulative sense; but it’s sometimes useful to know what you’re in for, heading into the cinema. Unprepared,

you may find that you have an ugly taste in your mouth coming out, for having laughed at people we have been invited to perceive as pathetic.

MUSIC Home coming

if I wanted a comfortable middle-class life – only Mike Rowe’s Refrigerator Repair Academy or a life in the service sector.” With the monetized rock-star dream a non-starter, there isn’t even a vaguely viable myth of transcendence and triumph via art and passion to gamble on anymore. It’s f *cking bleak, which is why McDonough’s beseeching, romantic refrain, “Help me feel Winona forever,” seems relevant, genuinely romantic and desperate – and not at all retro.

Kyle & the Pity Party celebrate the release of Home at what is, in fact, their home: BSP in Kingston on Friday,

Kingston’s Kyle & the Pity Party to debut new EP at BSP

The titular Kyle (McDonough) of Kyle & the Pity Party is no newbie to the scene; he has been steadily writing and releasing impressive songs. He's also front-of-house engineer at BSP and other local venues.

T

he short-playing EP serves two traditional roles in rock-band strategy. Its primary purpose is introductory.

EPs are often an opening salvo, a proofof-concept. They are perforce modest: four or six songs, basic album art and nothing too conceptually extravagant in the music itself. They stake out a spot

and say, “Remember the name, if so inclined.” “LP forthcoming.”

The other function of EPs – and the reason why they maintain value throughout the rock-band life cycle – is revolutionary, or at least reintroductory: to announce change and reestablish identity.

EPs are naturally congenial to coherence and focus. The short form encourages “single-effect” statements and thematic consistency, both because the artists can be hyperselective and because the length of an EP mitigates monotony, makes variety less of a structural imperative.

Established bands will often deploy a tight little EP to announce a rebirth or an identity experiment that falls outside the parameters that they have established with their work to date.

Home, the new EP by Kingston’s Kyle & the Pity Party, manages to do both. The titular Kyle (McDonough) is no newbie to the scene; he has been steadily writing and releasing impressive songs for a long time.

In his role as front-of-house engineer at BSP and other local venues, he is known to many in the music community. And this band, the Pity Party, has been booking aggressively for a couple of years, playing all the clubs and events, grabbing every national-act opening slot they can and just generally saying “yes” to everything.

They’ve established their brand – a high-drama, romantic and emotionally charged take on two-guitar indie-rock – by working their asses off.

While it is not their recording debut, Home has the feel of a tidy four-song “This is us” introduction to something most of us already knew. But it also does that other EP thing. It is nothing if not a deeply coherent and unwavering aesthetic statement, both musically and thematically. It nails down the band’s current stylistic coordinates and influences unambiguously, a modern and slightly grungified update of ’80s New Romanticism: Goth, New Order and the Furs desynthesized and reconstructed as indie-rock. The vocal delivery is pure ’80s youth-culture declamation, but the music also tastes of the easy/queasy guitar sheets of My Bloody Valentine, some Pixies logic in the arrangements and even a lightly incongruous touch of Pavement gradschool stumbling in the feel.

Grave, quavering and thick with broadstroke existential crisis, McDonough’s operatic-indie vocals dominate the center of the mix and the listening experience.

The lyrical themes are a complex yin/yang construct of modern alienation and the persistence of idealism and hope. In the first single, “My Car,” McDonough sings of a kind of voluntary estrangement – indeed, a voluntarily homelessness – preferred to the empty shell of a failed relationship, a failed home and (it is easy to extrapolate) a failed culture.

At the back end of the EP, the highlight track “Winona Forever” clings to the heightened romance of youth and its refusal to give over easily to the life that society has laid out. But Home is a modern EP, not a nostalgic one. Even as it borrows their voice, its grim sense of the world would have scared the crap out of the Breakfast Club kids. This is not, “Oh shit, now I have to go make a lot of money in Reagan’s America,” but rather, “Oh shit, there’s nothing but wolves waiting for me in Trump’s America even

But Home is a modern EP, not a nostalgic one.

Even as it borrows their voice, its grim sense of the world would have scared the crap out of the Breakfast Club kids.

Hot wax on a cold night Win $100 at Jonathan Toubin’s Soul Clap & Dance-Off at BSP on Saturday

R

ock and soul connoisseur, curator and partymaker: Deejay Jonathan Toubin’s Soul Claps at BSP are the stuff of legend. As you dance, be prepared to make notes about records you will need to check out in the future. The subject of features in Rolling Stone, the Village Voice, The New York Times, The New Yorker, The Wall Street Journal, The Guardian, Pitchfork and more, Jonathan Toubin brings Soul Clap VII to BSP on Saturday, February 3. The new all-star primal rock trio the Young Skulls performs as well. The show begins at 9:30 p.m. Tickets cost $10. There will be $100 cash prize for the Dance-Off, courtesy of Jack’s Rhythms in New Paltz.

Toubin’s Soul Clap and Dance-Off had its humble origins in Brooklyn’s underground art and music scene when he began spinning his already-massive collection of soul records, culled from years of crate-digging and online auctions. The inclusion of a dance contest laid the foundation, though the music is never the same.

“This is a soul party, so basically it’ll be all these weird ’60s unsung soul 45s that I find and play for people,” Toubin said.

“I get bored with stuff I’ve been doing for a while, or I revisit things I haven’t done in a few years. Usually I come up and play records for around an hour or so, and then we stop the music and have these judges come on the stage and we have this dance contest. It usually takes about 20 to 30 minutes. And then I play records again. Basically, it’s a big dance party with an intermission in the middle that’s a dance contest.”

Just to clarify, because soul music covers a lot of ground: This isn’t smooth soul like Motown or disco; think Stax, but even grittier, with most of the records lost sounds of small labels from the Golden Age of soul. “It might be obscure soul music and late-period R & B, but real exciting: dramatic, with a big beat and a lot of screaming,” said Toubin. “A lot more guitar-oriented, and less of the Motown-type influence. I guess the one thing they have in common is that they were all probably recorded without the means they had in the bigger studios, so in that respect they sort of made the records more elegant. I guess a good example would be Elvis [Presley]. Everyone always says the Sun Records releases were so good, and then he went to the major label and it had all the backing vocals and it was kind of cheesy-sounding. But with Sun Records, it was partially their setup.

They couldn’t really afford to put the Mormon Tabernacle Choir on there, you know? A lot of it sounds more contemporary because it doesn’t have that stuff; it’s big drumbeats.”

But while Toubin is a record-collector’s collector, he said that a Soul Clap and Dance-Off is a success when the crowd doesn’t actually consider where the records came from. “I hope they don’t think about it, to be honest with you,” Toubin said. “I want it to be the best, most exciting and unique stuff they’ve ever heard, so they get lost in it.”

Music of Ali Stroker, Leonard Bernstein & Warhol’s art at Vassar

Every winter since 2003, Vassar College has hosted a discipline-spanning festival known as Modfest, which celebrates the arts of the 20th and 21st centuries.

This year's festival is organized around the concept of “Adapting.” It’s not immediately apparent how it applies to Andy Warhol’s personal aesthetic, other than his influence in terms of redefining the parameters of artistic perception. So maybe it’s a bit of a stretch to include “People are Beautiful: Prints, Photographs and Films by Andy Warhol,” the exhibition of 100 rarely seen portraits dated from 1964 to 1985 that opened January 26 at

the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center, running through April 15.

The headline event for this year’s festival, which runs from February 1 to 11, encapsulates the “Adapting” theme more obviously. Ali Stroker, an actress, singer and activist who was the first wheelchairbound performer to star in a Broadway production – as Anna in Deaf West’s 2015 revival of Spring Awakening – and has also appeared in Glee, will give a recital at 3 p.m. on Sunday, February 11 in the Vogelstein Center for Drama and Film’s Martel Theater, followed by “Making Your Limitations Your Opportunities,” a moderated talk discussing Stoker’s work onstage and off.

Also on the Modfest roster are the second annual Adene and Richard Wilson Concert, featuring Vassar faculty, on Saturday, February 3 at 7 p.m.; “Music, Words and Images,” a program of performances and readings on Friday, February 2 at 7 p.m.; and “West Side Story: The Mind and Music of Leonard Bernstein,” a lecture/recital by Dr. Richard Kogan on Sunday, February 4 at 3 p.m.

All three concerts take place in the Skinner Hall of Music, as do two shows on Saturday, February 10: the Community Youth Concert at 3 p.m., featuring the Cappella Festiva Cor Capriccio & Treble Choir and Stringendo, and a student-run Cabaret Night at 7 p.m.

Showcasing Master Sergeant MaryKay Messenger (pictured above), the premier vocalist for the US Military Academy Band at West Point, the Northern Dutchess Symphony Orchestra (NDSO) will perform a collection of Hollywood scores on Saturday, February 3 at 8 p.m. in the Marriott Pavilion at the Culinary Institute of America (CIA). The concert will feature compositions from Titanic, Disney favorites and Henry Mancini and will also include ballads like “Swinging on a Star,” “Moon River” and “Shadow of Your Smile.” NDSO will highlight the evening with a screening of the silent film The Immigrant (1917) starring Charlie Chaplin, with original music by Ben Model.

The CIA will open the Caterina de’ Medici restaurant for a special $39 preperformance dining experience. The menu will include family-style Caesar salad and antipasti, a selection of five gourmet pastas served tableside and a dessert. Tickets for the concert cost $25 for adults, $20 for seniors and $5 for students. For more information, visit www.ndsorchestra.org. The Marriott

Kairos performs Bach’s Cantata 70 at Holy Cross Monastery on Sunday Kairos: A Consort of Singers, under the direction of Dr. Edward Lundergan, continues its 2017/18 Bach Cantata Series on Sunday, February 4 at 3 p.m. The program will be performed in the intimate and acoustically superb chapel of the Holy Cross Monastery at 1615 Route 9W in West Park.

J. S. Bach’s 1723 Cantata 70 “Wachet, Betet!” invokes the imagery of the Last Judgment and the Second Coming. The instrumental ensemble performing with Kairos features trumpet and oboe, which provide a dramatic foil for the chorus, soloists and string players. The concert will include two short choral motets, one by Italian Renaissance composer Giovanni da Palestrina and another by Peter Philips, early-17th-century English composer of vocal works and keyboard virtuoso. Rounding out the program will be a sonata for oboe by G. F. Handel, performed by Joel Evans.

The Bach Cantata Series is performed in the context of evensong, a meditative vespers tradition that can be traced to the medieval church. The service provides the opportunity to hear the cantatas – among the composer’s most significant and celebrated compositions – in the context for which they were written.

The event is free to attend and open to all, regardless of religious affiliation or lack thereof. A suggested $10 donation helps fund the series and ensures its continuity.

The group serves as artists-in-residence

Visions of wonder & mystery Photowork 2018 opening at Poughkeepsie’s Barrett Art Center

Make-your-own shadow boxes in Athens

E

ach year for the past three decades, the Barrett Art Center has organized a national juried photography exhibition, curated by a known quantity in the field. The Poughkeepsie institution’s 31st such annual competition, Photowork 2018, opens on February 10, with an opening reception from 3 to 6 p.m. This year’s curator is E. Jason Wambsgans of the Chicago Tribune, honored with the 2017 Pulitzer Prize for Feature Photography for his sensitive portrayal of a 10-year-old shooting survivor. In choosing among the more than 800 entries for the Photoworks 2018 exhibition, Wambsgans says that he “sought to select a body of work that creates, connected by invisible and intangible narrative threads, a vision of the wonder and mystery of our world.”

The exhibition includes 58 photographic works submitted by 49 artists from 18 states. Eight of them are from the mid-Hudson Valley: Jim Allen of Millbrook, Evan D’Arpino of Beacon, David King of Lagrangeville, Trevor Messersmith of Marlboro, Julie Mihaly and Les Muldorf of Poughkeepsie and Jane Soodalter and Bidu Tashjian of Cold Spring. Mihaly’s photograph is part of a yearlong project titled Radius, in which she photographed as many people as possible within a four-mile radius of her Poughkeepsie home.

The five photographers from Dutchess County – Allen, D’Arpino, King, Mihaly and Muldorf – will present illustrated artist’s talks on Saturday, March 10 from 3 to 4:30 p.m., with a reception to follow. Photowork 2018 will remain open to the public through March 24, along with a Juried Members’ Show, featuring works selected by Sean Hemmerle, a Poughkeepsie-based professional photographer and photography instructor. Gallery hours are from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesday through Friday and from noon to 3 p.m. on Saturdays.

The Barrett Art Center is located at 55 Noxon Street in Poughkeepsie. To learn more, call (845) 471-2550, e-mail info@barrettartcenter.org or visit www. barrettartcenter.org.

Chaden is an award-winning multimedia artist and designer of artwork for the homedécor industry. Her work has appeared in galleries and museums across the country and in magazines that include Discover, Better Homes and Gardens and Time.

The cost for the workshop is $60 for both days, or $50 for members of the Athens Cultural Center. The workshop and materials are free for students aged 15 to 19. Preregistration is required; call (518) 945-2136 or e-mail info@ athensculturalcenter.org.

ART By way of comparison, Tallix had some 80 employees at the time they left and the staff at Workshop Art Fabrication currently numbers 17. “It’s more fun now, and we’re able to focus more on the work.

And we’re more in tune with the work this way – more hands-on, and on the floor all the time.”

The partners both studied art in college, DiDonato in the Sculpture Program at SUNY-New Paltz and Pharmer with an

T

he contributions of an art foundry to an artist’s work are invisible to gallery- and museumgoers. But that’s just as it should be, says Vincent DiDonato, who along with business partner Andrew Pharmer launched Workshop Art Fabrication, LLC in Kingston three years ago.

“Our job is to be unseen. When people go to a museum or gallery, they want to see the artist’s name on the wall, but it’s not our place to shine. We’re there to serve the artist.”

The image of the artist as a solitary figure working alone in the studio doesn’t apply when it comes to the casting of metal sculpture, which goes through numerous production stages and needs the skill of many uncredited foundry workers, who transform an artist’s concept into sculptural works while remaining true to the artist’s intentions.

Workshop Art Fabrication, LLC offers the full range of fine-art fabrication and foundry services for artists, including metal casting and fabrication, mold- and patternmaking, project development and management, patina and paint applications and conservation and restoration.

While the business only opened its doors in January of 2015, Pharmer and DiDonato are not newcomers to the industry. Both were employed by industry icon Polich Tallix foundry for 17 years prior, working their way up to management positions before deciding to go out on their own. “We both started out on the floor doing metalwork: welding,

assembly… just about everything that we could,” says DiDonato. “We worked our way up through the ranks at Tallix, and then decided to work for ourselves. We wanted to set up a smaller, more intimate ‘boutique-style’ shop servicing a select clientele, working with people we want to work with, and not having to supervise a large staff.”

Art degree from SUNY-Purchase. “We were both interested in the arts, and then got hooked on foundry life and made a career of it,” says DiDonato. “I never really set out to have a career in the arts, but it kind of grew on me.”

Foundry work makes up the bulk of their projects, but in positioning themselves as a fabrication shop, the partners hope not to pigeonhole themselves. They keep a very low profile, notes DiDonato, getting most of their work through word-of-mouth.

One of the larger projects they’re working on at present is an LGBT memorial of cast bronze with a glass inlay that acts as a prism and can emit a subtle rainbow. The work by artist Anthony Goicolea is the first official monument to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people commissioned by the State of New York. It will be installed in Hudson River Park, near the waterfront piers that have served as a meeting place and refuge for LGBT people. Another major work-inprogress will be installed in the rooftop sculpture garden at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in March: a cast-bronze figurative work by Poughkeepsie-based Pakistani artist Huma Bhabha.

“Every day is a new challenge,” DiDonato says. “That’s what we enjoy about it. We get to work with new artists; and even with the same artists that we keep as clients, they always have new work that we’re making.

So it’s not like making widgets.”

Keeping pace with advances in technology is one of the challenges of the work. “Three-D printing and the way that technology is implemented into the work is always changing,” says DiDonato.

Twenty years ago, 3-D was just showing up, he adds, in CAD files and subtractive technology such as carving machines; but now, additive technology like 3-D printing is “a really big game-changer.”

Artists can bypass the mold process to create a wax positive, printing directly in wax using 3-D technology. But it does have its limitations: better for one-offs than high-edition work, in which it’s more cost-effective to use rubber molds. And if an artist is attempting a subtlety like skin texture, the rubber mold will capture that better than 3-D printing.

The work isn’t always easy, notes DiDonato, so it helps to be stubborn and focused. “Sometimes it’s just sticking to the plan and plodding along. But when the client is happy, we’re happy. That’s how we’re successful: delivering what people ask for; helping them realize their project and making it accessible.”

Setsubun fun at GomenKudasai in New Paltz

sixth anniversary of Kids’ Almanac!

Here’s to another great year ahead! Erica Chase-Salerno can be reached at kidsalmanac@ulsterpublishing.com.

I

lay out some twigs, a clump of dryer lint and a drugstore receipt for eyedrops that’s inexplicably as long as my arm. The firepit fills with flames, rapidly consuming my offerings while fading away as quickly as they began. I reload with more sticks, torn paper bags, newspaper shreds and fallen wood. I am patient with my fire-tending. I need her to release the energies that no longer serve me, and she needs me to craft her into existence. As the heat finally builds up, the log begins to sparkle, like dozens of tiny amber eyes blinking under the bark.

Fire frees me from the intensity of eldercare, parenting and cancer as her golden arms stretch upward: an Olympic torch guiding me on a blazing journey of renewed possibility. She transforms my burdens to ash, lifts my spirit with her smoky trail of promise, nudges me toward my Inner Knowing. She celebrates joy!

Life! She lifts away the limitations, sears calm into my consciousness, ultimately illuminating my own inner embers, my precious soulshine. The overwhelm and fears are gone. I’m back to my core essentials: Be Here Now. Breathe.

Teach me to live, I cry. Show me death, I plead. “We shake with joy, we shake with grief./What a time they have, these two/Housed as they are in the same body,” Mary Oliver says. Fire obliges.

Flames huddle the final vestiges of this disintegrating pile of ancient wood wisdom. Dying takes a while, Fire says. Our dance slows and relaxes. The quiet orange glow flashes intermittently during this cooldown, darkening into stillness, the completion of Fire’s transition from life to death. “I know this isn’t much./ But I wanted to explain this life to you, even if/I had to become, over the years, someone else to do it,” describes Larry Levis in My Story in a Late Style of Fire.

I turn the knob to go back inside, dazzling soulshine emanating from my body.

Saline solutions Millbrook’s Cary Institute to host forum on road salt management

merica has a new threat to the environment to worry about. Actually, it’s a threat that has been building up for decades; but now we have a report out from the National Academy of Sciences that delineates the extent of the problem for the first time. The researchers involved are calling it Freshwater Salinization Syndrome.

“Using five decades of streamwater data from 232 US Geological Survey monitoring sites, researchers found 37 percent of the drainage area of the contiguous US experienced a significant increase in salinity, with a concurrent increase in alkalization of 90 percent.”

So say officials at the Cary Institute for Environmental Studies in Millbrook, which is about to host a daylong summit on the problem as it manifests in the Northeast, including best practices for countering it.

At first glance, the news seems deceptively hopeful, in the sense that alkalization from salts might help to counteract the already-existing problem of acid rain. But it doesn’t work that way, according to the scientists conducting the study. In fact, acid precipitation is one of the factors that contributes to the release of alkaline salts from soil, pavement and rock.

The effects of freshwater salinization can be devastating to human health, with the lead crisis in Flint, Michigan being the most obvious example. It was the 2014 shift in the source of municipal drinking water to the Flint River, whose high salinity is leaching heavy metals from the city’s antiquated system of pipes, that triggered the ongoing disaster. And the causes of the problem are complex, varying geographically: In the agricultural Midwest, irrigation runoff and chemical fertilizers are the primary culprits; in the West, the source is often mine tailings.

Sewage releases during stormwater backup events are part of the problem in

egabrain Comics is a new business in Rhinebeck, tucked away on Garden Street (the block behind Upstate Films), owned and operated by Jean David Michel and his wife Alexandra.

It’s an activity space as well as a retail outlet. Complete with a plush carpeted lounge in the front room and a larger gaming hall in the rear of the store, it offers patrons a fun, inclusive, walk-in gaming experience that ranges from traditional board games such as Scrabble, Clue, Risk and chess to fantasy RPG gaming like Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder and the Red Dragon Inn. Customers will be able to sign up for scheduled Magic the Gathering, Pokémon and YugiOh tournaments, or just walk in during normal business hours and pay for gaming time by the hour. Many tabletop games, RPGs and card games will also be available for purchase (or special order, if they aren’t available in-store). “Playing tabletop games with each other is a great way for people to put their devices down and engage with each other,” say the Michels.

As a comic-book retailer, Megabrain is organized with a floor plan that separates books according to an age rating system.

Younger readers can explore the “Rated G” section for books that are appropriate for customers of any age; the “Rated PG-13” section features familiar DC and Marvel superheroes; and the “Rated R” section is where adults can find comics and graphic novels with more “mature” themes and imagery, such as The Walking Dead, Sandman, Preacher and Saga. New comics are delivered to the store every Wednesday, and you can also find related toys and collectibles.

Comic geekdom used to be considered mostly a guy thing, but Jean David and Alexandra are clued into the fact that girls wanna be superheroes as well – and that the industry is beginning to respond to their demand for more relatable role models in the various comic-book universes: “One of our goals is to empower young girls to show them that comic-book stores are for them, just as much as they are for boys. When everyone arrives at the shop, they are greeted at the door by the faces of some of the most powerful and brilliant characters in Marvel & DC Comics, who also happen to be women. Comic titles with strong female leads are featured prominently throughout the store to show everyone just how cool it is to ‘Fight like a Girl.’”

Sounds like a progressive approach to a vintage hobby. And the couple have expressed their intent to showcase Hudson Valley-based writers and artists in the field who are looking for a place to connect with their fans in person. To find out what events are being planned, visit www.megabraincomics.com. or www.facebook.com/megabraincomicsrhinebeck. Or just stop in at 20 Garden Street in Rhinebeck between 11 a.m. and 8 p.m. on Monday and Wednesday through Saturday, or 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Sunday, and check out this new community resource.

many places, and calcium and magnesium salts are released by the weathering of concrete wherever they’ve paved Paradise and put up a parking lot.

In our neck of the woods, increasing salt loads affecting groundwater and streams can be blamed on our need to use enormous quantities of deicers – primarily sodium chloride – to keep Northeastern roads safe for winter travelers. Fortunately, there are ways of reducing our salt dependence; but they involve new approaches to maintenance by highway departments, and that means new costs to municipalities to adopt stateof-the-art materials and machinery.

Let’s hope many town planners and highway superintendents will be in the audience on Tuesday, February 13, when the Cary Institute presents a Science & Management Forum exploring the impact that road salt has on natural areas and drinking water supplies, with a focus on successful salt-reduction strategies.

Titled “Road Salt: Reducing Impacts to the Environment and Human Health,” the event will feature speakers from the Cary Institute, Paul Smith’s College, the New York State Department of Transportation, the University of Montana and Bard College.

This event is co-sponsored by the Dutchess County Environmental Management Council and the Cornell

University Cooperative Extension, with funding provided by the Dr. Robert C. and Tina Sohn Foundation. Attendance is free, but reservations are required. Register by calling (845) 677-7600, extension 121, or online at www.caryinstitute.org/forumroad-salt.

The Cary Institute’s auditorium is located at 2801 Sharon Turnpike (Route 44) in Millbrook.

The year’s best stars

T

he Moon is now waning, growing thinner and rising about an hour later each night. So on Friday, Groundhog Day – the traditional Imbolc, or winter’s midpoint – skies will be inky the first two hours after dusk. On Saturday night, February 3, we’ll have darkness the first three hours, until 8:30 p.m. Monday extends it to four hours, and so on.

Moonless winter nights are special around here. The air is the driest of the year and the winter stars are the most brilliant.

Odontoglossum pulchellum is an orchid that tolerates being treated like your average houseplant.

Odontoglossum pulchellum is an orchid that tolerates being treated like your average houseplant. And this is one of the most important points in growing orchids in a house: Choose a sort that thrives in such an environment. Other orchids that will grow in the average home include Phalaenopsis, paphiopedilums and mini-catts, which are dwarf hybrids involving Cattleya (the corsage orchid).

Ideally, for flowering at least, certain conditions must be met. Most orchids enjoy bright light, which means setting the plant at an east, west or south windowsill. From spring through autumn, light from a south window is too intense and may scorch foliage, so plants need to be protected with a thin gauze curtain, or moved to other windows or semi-shade outdoors.

Most orchids – again, for flowering – enjoy a ten-to-15-degree temperature difference from day to night, which is no problem in winter if you heat with a woodstove or already turn the thermostat down at night to conserve fuel. In the summer, the plant needs to be outdoors, or else in a room that is not air-conditioned.

Even those orchids adapted to a home environment benefit from increased humidity.

I raise the humidity around my plants by perching the flowerpot above a water-filled tray. Clustering plants together is another way to raise the humidity near plants, and also creates a visual lushness.

Once correctly sited, many orchids do not require inordinate amounts of care. Water requirements vary, but species with thickened pseudobulbs (bulbous stems), such as my Odontoglossum, get by with the least-frequent watering. Orchid roots are susceptible to fertilizer burn, so the rule in feeding is to do it frequently and lightly. As with other houseplants, some orchid species take an annual rest, and at such times watering and feeding should commensurately diminish.

Since “mastering” the growing of one orchid, I have acquired another kind. This orchid is Dendrobium kingianum, which does go under the more user-friendly common name of pink rock orchid. I have also gotten this one to flower – but not every year.

used to find orchids intimidating to grow. Their dust-sized seeds are highly unusual in not having any food reserves, so – in the wild, at least – need the help of a fungus partner to get growing. And some orchids (epiphytes) spend their lives nestled in trees, so need a special potting mix when grown in a pot.

Orchids have aboveground structures called pseudobulbs. And many, especially those that call humid, tropical forests their homes, demand exacting environmental conditions that are very different from that found in most homes. Whew!

So I steered clear of growing any orchid for many years – until a local orchid enthusiast gave me a plant. After a couple of years, that plant, around this time of year, sent up a slender stalk that was soon punctuated with eight waxy white flowers, each an inch across. For two months, those flowers greeted me each morning with their beauty and their delicious fragrance.

Every year since, that plant has greeted me for weeks in midwinter.

My orchid has no common name, so needs to be referred to by its botanical mouthful, Odontoglossum pulchellum.

Even orchid names are intimidating – especially so because different genera have often been hybridized, and the resulting hybrid combines the generic names of the parents. So a hybrid with Brassavola, Laelia and Cattleya in its parentage would have the name Brassolaeliocattleya. Now that’s a mouthful!

Name notwithstanding, my Odontoglossum pulchellum has been easy to grow and get to flower. The plant spends summers outdoors in semi-shade near the north wall of my house, and winters indoors on a sunny windowsill. I water it perhaps twice a week, unless I forget.

Sounds like your run-of-the-mill houseplant, doesn’t it? So much for orchids being difficult.

The only special treatment my plant gets is a special potting mix. Odontoglossum pulchellum is an epiphytic orchid. Commercial potting mixes are available for epiphytic orchids, but I make my own by mixing equal parts of my standard (homemade) potting mix with equal parts of wood chips. Nothing special about the chips; I just scoop them up from the pile that I use mostly for mulch that an arborist kindly dumps next to my woodshed every year.

Every spring I divide my orchid plant into two or three new plants, potting each new plant into its own pot with fresh potting mix.

PRAYER TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN. (Never known to fail.) Oh, most beautiful flower of Mt. Carmel, fruitful vine splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son of God. Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity. Oh, Star of the Sea, help me and show me herein you are my mother. Oh, Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth! I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in this necessity. There are none that can withstand your power. Oh, show me herein you are my mother. Oh Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee (3x). Holy Mother, I place this cause in your hands (3x). Holy Spirit, you who solve all problems, light all roads so that I can attain my goal. You who gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me and that in all instances in my life you are with me, I want in this short prayer to thank-you for all things as you confirm once again that I never want to be separated from you in eternal glory. Thank-you for your mercy towards me and mine. The person must say this prayer 3 consecutive days, the request will be granted. This prayer must be published after the favor is granted.
