Join The Waves, 1943, by John Philip Falter (1910-1982), US Navy Recruiting Bureau FDR signed the Navy Women’s Reserve Act on July 30, 1942, which created the WAVES (Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service). More than 80,000 women served in the Navy during the war as clerks, secretaries, cryptologists, air traffic controllers, meteorologists and translators. This WAVES poster was designed by John Falter. A Nebraska native, Falter studied art at the Kansas City Art Institute. In 1943, he enlisted in the US Navy as a boatswain’s mate. When his commander learned of his artistic background, Falter was commissioned as a “lieutenant with special art duties” to design recruiting posters. After the war, Falter created cover art and illustrations for national magazines, illustrated more than 40 books and worked as a portrait artist. (Gift of Adriance Memorial Library)

HISTORY

FDR Library opens WWII poster exhibition on Saturday

A

new exhibition titled “The Art of War: American Poster Art 1941-1945” opens this Saturday, April 21 at the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum in Hyde Park. The show spotlights more than 150 colorful World War II posters drawn from the Library’s enormous collection of more than 3,000 wartime posters, covering an array of topics that vividly illustrate the wide-ranging impact that World War II had on American society.

Among the talented illustrators and graphic artists who created these posters for government agencies were Norman Rockwell, James Montgomery Flagg, N. C. Wyeth, Ben Shahn, Theodore Geisel (Dr. Seuss), Stevan Dohanos, Herbert Matter and Leo Lionni. The exhibit will relate the stories behind some of the best-known posters, such as J. Howard Miller’s famous “We Can Do It!” image of Rosie the Riveter, Rockwell’s “Four Freedoms” posters and Flagg’s enduring image of Uncle Sam proclaiming “I Want You.” Other special displays will explore how poster designers depicted the enemy; how their work reflected conflicting ideas about the changing roles of women; how African Americans were represented; and how the image and words of President Roosevelt became incorporated into memorable wartime posters.

Also this Saturday at the FDR Library complex, the Henry A. Wallace Center will host the Friends of the Poughkeepsie Public Library District’s sixth annual Hudson Valley History Reading Festival, featuring authors of recently published books on the region’s history. Scheduled book talks and signings include David Schuyler, author of Embattled River: The Hudson and Modern American Environmentalism, at 10 a.m.; David Rocco, with The Indestructible Man: The True Story of World War II Hero “Captain Dixie,” at 11 a.m.; Glenn Kreisberg’s Spirits in Stone: The Secrets of Megalithic America – Decoding the Ancient Cultural Stone Landscapes of the Northeast, at 1 p.m.; and Andrew K. Amelinckx, Hudson Valley Murder & Mayhem, at 2 p.m.

Copies of the authors’ books will be for sale in the New Deal Store located in the Wallace Center. This is a free public event, but registration at www.fdrlibrary.org is required. To find out more about these events, call (845) 486-7745. The Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum are located at 4079 Albany Post Road (Route 9) in Hyde Park.

On cover: United We Are Strong, United We Will Win, 1943, by Henry Koerner (1915-1991), U.S. Office of War Information. Henry Koerner was born in Vienna and trained there as a graphic designer. He emigrated to the United States after Hitler annexed Austria in 1938 and worked as a commercial artist in New York City.

During World War II, Koerner designed posters for the Office of War Information and the Office of Strategic Services (OSS). At the war’s end, the OSS sent him to Germany to produce sketches during the Nuremburg Trials. After the war, Koerner taught at Chatham College and the Art Institute of Pittsburg and painted more than 60 covers for Time Magazine, including portraits of John F. Kennedy, Nelson Rockefeller and Maria Callas. Gift of Adriance Memorial Library.

Tell your story on The Porch next Saturday at Rosendale Theatre The popular Hudson Valley storytelling series The Porch has been selling out events at local libraries, coffeeshops, friends’ barns and Bard’s Spiegeltent since 2015. Inspired by the influential oral history and storytelling institution known as The Moth, The Porch gives local Hudson Valley residents the opportunity to share their true stories with a supportive and responsive group of friends and neighbors and fellow storytellers.

Now, The Porch has partnered with the Rosendale Theatre. On Saturday, April 28 at 8 p.m., Rosendale residents are invited

to enter the fray. The parameters are: The story has to be true and must be told in eight minutes or less, without the aid of notes. Six storytellers and one musician (who can tell their story in a song) will be selected; each will receive free admission along with one guest, an official Porch storyteller tee-shirt and perhaps an offer of a “courage shot” (usually bourbon) before they go onstage.

Admission costs $10. Those interested should contact The Porch at info@ theporchstories.com. The Rosendale Theatre is located at 408 Main Street in Rosendale.

Woodstock Byrdcliffe Guild’s annual fashion show this Saturday This Woodstock Byrdcliffe Guild spring fashion show promises to offer “a new level of fun and playfulness,” according to its host, Obie Award-

winning writer and actor Chris Wells.

The “Spring Fling” Byrdcliffe fashion and cabaret benefit will be “bawdy, sexy and joyful,” he says, with a live band, singers and dancers, and it will take place on Saturday, April 21 at the historic 1902 Byrdcliffe Barn. The runway will feature spring looks from area retailers, modeled by Byrdcliffe residents and locals.

Wells is co-founder and director of Secret City, a tent-revival-style celebration of creativity that features live music, performance and art. He was asked by the organizers of the Spring Fling to bring that same sense of unpredictability to the annual fashion show. As a resident at Byrdcliffe himself, Wells says that he really wanted to feature other artists in residence there in a “joyous cabaret spectacle.”

The Spring Fling festivities will begin with a cocktail hour of hors d’oeuvres accompanied by Prosecco and wine, all donated by local restaurateurs and merchants. A silent auction will include

MOVIE

April 19, 2018

THE BREAKTHROUGH MOVIE to put the Hudson Valley on the map is John Krasinski’s A Quiet Place, which was filmed at recognizable locations – a farmhouse in Pawling, a market in Beacon, the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail bridge in New Paltz.

JONNY COURNOYER

The question that goes to the gut in A Quiet Place is simply, “How do we protect our children when the world is such a dangerous place?â€? In this particular cinematic universe, it has become so on account of the arrival of hordes of hungry aliens with bulletproof carapaces and hearing/echolocation skills as ďŹ ne-tuned as those of bats.

oosters of the Hudson Valley have been talking for decades, literally, about what a great place this is, or could be, to shoot movies. Remember all the talk about how the Paul Newman vehicle Nobody’s Fool was going to turn the tide?

That was shot in Beacon in 1993 and ’94.

Well, it took nearly a quarter-century and some tweaks to state tax law, but it finally seems to be happening – to the great delight of locals who make their livings providing ancillary services to the film industry, or who can later sell a sandwich or a beer to the kind of visitor who seeks out movie-location vacations.

In this age of selfies, such cinetourists are becoming legion.

Is A Quiet Place really that good, beyond the frisson of seeing on a big screen that spot where you’ve often gone bicycling?

Look hard enough and you’ ll find implausible details to quibble about, but yes: It’s a solid, wellmade, well-acted monster movie, a very taut (only 90 minutes) thriller with engaging characters and a narrative core firmly grounded in family dynamics.

Richard Brody over at The New Yorker has discerned in it a regressive metaphor for white rural people feeling besieged by dark foreign Others, but that doesn’t seem to be a widely accepted reading. (It’s a bit of a stretch to complain about an all-white cast when it comprises

ALMANAC WEEKLY

April 19, 2018

John Krasinski, Emily Blunt, Noah Jupe and Millicent Simmonds star in A Quiet Place. The film, directed by Krasinski (shown above)and filmed in Ulster and Dutchess counties, took in more than $50 million at the domestic box office on its opening weekend alone.

a grand total of nine, one of the characters being already dead when glimpsed and two of the actors being twins portraying a newborn.)

The question that goes to the gut in A Quiet Place is simply, “How do we protect our children when the world is such a dangerous place?” In this particular cinematic universe, it has become so on account of the arrival of hordes of hungry aliens with bulletproof carapaces and hearing/echolocation skills as fine-tuned as those of bats. But any parent knows that our world has always been full of threats to the young and unwary, and occasionally wonders if it was wise ever to bring children into it. Within the family unit we develop strategies to protect them, only to discover over time that such approaches must be dynamic as our offspring grow and demand more freedom to explore and become their own persons.

In A Quiet Place, the pivotal character is Regan (Millicent Simmonds), a daughter who is approaching puberty and somewhat overprotected by her parents (Krasinski and his wife Emily Blunt) on account of the fact that she is deaf. Regan’s more timid younger sibling Marcus (Noah Jupe) is the one pressed to accompany Dad on fishing expeditions while she is left at home with very pregnant Mom. Regan’s burgeoning rebellion is a beautiful thing to watch, this young deaf actress easily stealing the spotlight from the farmore-famous-and-experienced thespians portraying her parents.

What makes this film clever and cinematically distinctive is its spare, selective use of sound, most of it diagetic (generated and perceived in-world). There is almost no spoken dialogue, except when masked from hostile ears by the sound of rushing water. Regan’s “disability” is her family’s strength in more ways than one, as they are able to communicate and cooperate well via fluency in ASL (which is subtitled), and also because of her unique insights into how to outmaneuver the beasties. Scenes depicted from the daughter’s point of view have a perfectly silent soundtrack, inviting the viewer more deeply into her reality. The enforced quiet of this family’s existence makes the jump scares – usually precipitated by an unintended noise – especially nervewracking. Marco Beltrami’s musical score occasionally lays the strings on a bit too thickly, but we are compensated by its infrequent application.

With little to distract us in the way of verbal emoting or exposition, the audience is freed up to focus on visual narrative details, such as the fact that the Abbott family marks particular floorboards that don’t creak with duct tape, or the stealthy and purposeful toe-first way that they’ve all learned to walk. Like any truly persuasive fantasy universe, this one plays strictly by its own internal

rules – rules based, in this case, in the realworld physics of sound. In A Quiet Place, limitations on storytelling vocabulary become the movie’s strengths. It’s a fascinating technical exercise that works because we care about the characters.

Okay, and seeing that familiar footbridge over the Wallkill is pretty damn cool as well. Gotta wonder how much additional traffic it’ll be bearing henceforward…

Adventures in journalism Marist premieres Lowell Thomas documentary Voice of America this Saturday

T

he Communications Center on the campus of Marist College is named after Lowell Thomas: a handle that probably won’t mean much to young students before they get there, but is evocative indeed for people old enough to remember the early days of television.

Thomas (1892-1981), who long made his home in Pawling, was a pioneer broadcaster, journalist, lecturer, author, globetrotter, raconteur and media technology innovator, known to many Americans in the mid-20th century as the voice of many a travelogue. These recorded journeys to “exotic” parts of the world became staples of black-and-white TV in the 1950s, after having dominated the radio airwaves and appeared as cinema newsreels for decades before that.

During World War I, Thomas was sent to Europe by Woodrow Wilson to film propaganda documentaries bolstering US involvement in the war. Then the British Foreign Office dispatched him to Palestine as a war correspondent covering General Allenby’s campaign against the Ottoman Empire. There Thomas struck up an acquaintance with T. E. Lawrence and began filming his exploits, which became part of a road show of film clips and lectures that eventually made Thomas a millionaire and made Lawrence “of Arabia” a household name. (Lawrence himself wasn’t especially pleased about it.)

In the 1930s, Thomas became the first person to air a simulcast and the voice of Fox Movietone Newsreels. In 1940, he anchored the first live telecast of a political convention: the Republican National Convention in Philadelphia. In 1949, he recorded the last film, photos and audio taken in Tibet before it was invaded by China. In the 1950s, he cocreated the multicamera surround-screen technology called Cinerama. Later that decade he founded Capital Cities, a major broadcasting group that is now part of the Walt Disney Company, and created the popular TV travel series High Adventure.

His radio news program had been on

the air for 46 continuous years when he retired in 1976.

Shortly before his death in 1981, Marist conferred an honorary degree on Thomas, and he left his personal archives to the college’s James A. Cannavino Library. This vast collection of research materials contains more than one million documents, 40,000 images, hundreds of objects and thousands of hours of audio and film footage, and is valued at more than $10 million.

That motherlode of data has enabled the making of a new full-length documentary, titled Voice of America: Lowell Thomas and the Rise of Broadcast News. It will have its premiere screening this Saturday,

April 21 in the Nelly Goletti Theater in the Murray Student Center. The event will kick off with a 5:30 p.m. reception and a 6:30 question-and-answer session with the film’s director, Rick Moulton, and producer, Ann Thomas Donaghy, who is the granddaughter of Lowell Thomas. The screening itself will begin at 7 p.m.

Admission is free, but advance registration is required; call (845) 575-3364 or visit www.marist.edu/ events/2018/04/21/8764. Parking will be available in the Donnelly Hall parking lot.

Golden fleece Chancellor’s Sheep & Wool Showcase at Clermont on Saturday

T

he Clermont State Historic Site in Germantown was home to seven generations of the Livingston family, from 1740 to 2000. Visitors today can enjoy tours of the stately old mansion and stroll more than 500 acres of meadow and woodlands, all set against the scenic backdrop of the Hudson River and the Catskill Mountains.

The grounds offer a pastoral setting for many wedding receptions and host a number of holiday-themed events. The next such affair is the annual Chancellor’s Sheep & Wool Showcase on Saturday, April 21 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is by the carload, so get your knitting group or fiber friends together to carpool: The entrance fee will be $10 per vehicle, or $8 for members of Clermont’s “Friends” organization. (The rain date is Sunday, April 22.)

The family-friendly festival pays tribute in name and spirit to the mansion’s bestknown resident, Robert R. Livingston, Jr. (1746-1813), whose designation as “the Chancellor” came with his position as the highest-ranking judge in New York under the original state constitution. Livingston served as secretary of foreign affairs from 1781 to 1783, and he administered the presidential oath of office to George Washington in 1789, on the balcony of Federal Hall in New York City.

In 1801, Livingston accepted Thomas Jefferson’s appointment to France as resident minister at the court of Napoleon, his primary objective being the purchase of the port of New Orleans and West Florida. When bureaucratic red tape and the whims of Napoleon jeopardized that acquisition, James Monroe was dispatched as special envoy in 1803 to ease the negotiations, and within 48 hours, Napoleon offered to sell the Americans the entire Louisiana Territory: an area of 825,000 square miles, doubling the size of the US. Monroe and Livingston accepted on the spot, with their accomplishment considered a major diplomatic coup back home.

Livingston was a man of many interests that included botany, animal husbandry

and mechanics. Long interested in the possibilities of steam navigation – he built some experimental steamboats in Tivoli in the 1790s – Livingston assisted Robert Fulton in the final version of his steamboat by supplying the necessary funding and helping to push through the New York State Legislature a bill that granted the two men in par tnership a monopoly on steam navigation in state waters.

Upon retirement from public life, Livingston immersed himself in domestic life at Clermont, enlarging his home to accommodate the furniture he’d purchased in France. He also spent a great deal of time supervising the care of the Merino sheep that he imported from France. While the acquisition was not quite on the scale of the Louisiana Purchase, Livingston was among the first to bring the prized animals to the US. Native to Spain, Merino sheep are valued for their extremely soft, waterresistant and long-fibered wool. Prior to the 18th century, their export out of Spain was a crime punishable by death. That changed in 1786, when King Charles III of Spain gifted his cousin, Louis XVI of France, with 366 Merino sheep, which became the founding animals at the renowned Rambouillet stud farm on the outskirts of Paris.

Livingston cross-bred his Rambouilletborn Merino sheep with domestic sheep to enlarge his flock. In 1809, he published

Within a few years, there was something of a mania for Merino wool sweeping the country, after a Boston-based trader in European commodities, William Jarvis, imported more than 15,000 Merino sheep to the East Coast of the US from 1810 to 1811.

The sheep were dispersed across the Northeast, with eight of the animals going to Thomas Jefferson.

Textile manufacturers paid farmers $2 per pound for Merino wool at the time, while common wool sold for 37 ½ cents a pound. Common sheep sold for $2 each, while Merino rams were priced at as much as $1,500. Farmers stopped growing wheat and grain and started raising the Spanish sheep, cutting down thousands of acres of trees so the sheep could graze. Vermont had the country’s highest population of Merino sheep.

But the mania subsided by 1823, when the market became saturated and collapsed; a Merino ram could be purchased for just $50. Today there are different types of Merino sheep that were developed in various parts of the US, but most of the contemporary Merino sheep population was domesticated in New Zealand and Australia.

Merino wool continues to be prized by modern-day fiber enthusiasts for its uniformity, strength, density and fineness.

And on the lawn at Clermont that once held those new-to-the-USA Merino sheep at the dawning of the 19th century, the Chancellor’s Sheep & Wool Showcase this Saturday will offer visitors the chance to purchase similarly enticing tactile and colorful yarns from many different types of sheep. The several dozen vendors and exhibitors make for a pleasingly intimate showcase, with enough yarns and fiber accessories available to make it a worthwhile excursion, but not so large that the visitor can’t see it all.

Craft guilds will demonstrate spinning and weaving throughout the day, with featured exhibitors and vendors including the Elmendorf Spinners, Apple Valley Wool Thrummers of Tivoli, Bield Farm of Clinton Corners, Birch Hollow Fibers of Poughkeepsie, Blackberry Hill Farm in Hudson, Cat’s View Farm in Germantown, Clover Brooke Farm of Hyde Park, Columbia Greene Community College and Cornell Cooperative Extension of Columbia and Greene Counties, Crippen Works of Millerton, Dashing Star Farm in Millerton, East Knoll Pottery in Torrington, Connecticut, Furry Face Fibers of Fort Edwards, Hand to Mouth Weavers of Red Hook, Hudson River Designs of Kinderhook, Hudson Valley Sheep & Wool in Red Hook, In a Spin Fiber Arts in Olivebridge, Into the Whirled in Phoenicia, On the Bend of Hannacroix, Pandia’s Jewels of Salt Point, Riverside Creations of Elka Park, Simple Creations of Wappingers Falls, Small Paws Alpaca Farm of Salt Point, Spencer Hill Naturally Dyed Yarn of Corning, Toby Roxane Designs of Saugerties, Spencertown Root and Tuber Works of Chatham, Whole Knit ‘N’ Caboodle of Delmar, Wil-Hi Farm in Tivoli, Wooly Spruce Farmstead of Chatham and Yarn Shop at Foster Sheep Farm of Schuylerville.

Family members accompanying their fiber enthusiasts will also find plenty to do. Several herding demonstrations will be offered, along with sheepshearing using three different historical techniques.

Visitors can immerse themselves in the past by watching the 18th-century reenactors on hand and enjoy live traditional music, along with tasty offerings available from a few food trucks.

The visitor center and gift shop will be open, and the mansion will offer tours, with the last group starting at 4 p.m.

There is an additional charge for tours: $7 for adults or $6 for seniors. Kids under age 12 tour for free.

NIGHT SKY

Today’s Sun: very strange Cycle 24 stays weird

N

o question: The Sun has been behaving very oddly. First we had a drawn-out cycle, number 23, whose sunspot “minimum” was deeper and more free of spots than any that we’ve observed this past century. When the new cycle number 24 finally began in 2008, nearly two years behind schedule, solar experts wondered if the odd behavior would continue.

It has indeed. And we had a stake in the outcome. In an op/ed that accompanied the publication of my book The Sun’s Heartbeat, I wrote in 2011 that “global temperatures are now so steadily high that, even with the recent reduced rate of warming, 2010 still managed to join 1998 as the warmest years ever recorded.

“If the upcoming solar max of cycle 24 is normal or robust, and especially if an El Niño follows it two years later (as often happens), then the middle of this decade will be the hottest period since humans arrived on Earth. However, if the upcoming maximum is wimpy, as most solar researchers expect, or if the Sun is now entering an extended period of low activity with another deep minimum to follow, that is the best thing it could possibly do for us. Such a scenario would mitigate climate change. Essentially, the Sun has been buying us time.”

Want to know what happened? Well, cycle 24 has now run almost its course. Its “maximum,” in 2014, was the lowest sunspot peak since the early 1800s. That was followed by years of sunspot decrease, until now, this past year, we’ve gone weeks at a time without a single spot on the Sun’s face. We are bottoming out now, with almost no solar-storm activity.

This affects us because Earth’s climate gets cooler when there are fewer solar storms.

The extreme example happened between 1645 and 1715, when the normal 11-year sunspot cycle disappeared! The Sun’s heartbeat vanished. This period, called the Maunder Minimum, was accompanied by bitterly cold winters in the American colonies. Fishing settlements in Iceland and Greenland were abandoned. Icebergs were seen near the English Channel. The canals of Venice froze. It was a time of great hardship.

Earth’s climate gets cooler when there are fewer solar storms.

Spring Barn Bash on Saturday for Saugerties Historical Society Community barnraisings are a venerable American tradition, but nowadays it demands more determination to preserve the barns and other historic structures that we’ve already got. Three years ago, the restored 1727 Kiersted House, headquarters of the Saugerties Historical Society, dismantled, transported to its site and

The Sun three years ago, when storms were still visible on its surface. This image was taken by Matt Francis, director of the Prescott Observatory.

Since no one understands why the 11-year sunspot cycle could simply stop for a full human lifetime (in that case, it coincided with the rule of the French “Sun King,” Louis XIV), we can’t know if we’re really currently on the cusp of a repeat performance. But if this strange recent solar activity means that another Maunder Minimum is nearly upon us, as a few solar researchers believe, it would be mitigating Earth’s warming at the best possible time. We’ll have to wait and see.

For the moment, if you have a leftover solar filter from last August’s eclipse, take a glance at the Sun these days. You’ll see a strange blank disk.

THIS SATURDAY IS RECORD STORE DAY

P

hysical media – in other words “things” and “stuff ” – changing hands with the bacteria and bills in cramped rooms with real people leaning on racks, some of whom know what they are talking about: Record Store Day remembers and celebrates what we used to just call reality. The romanticizing of record-store culture as a den of shabby cognoscenti and rumpled-shirt list- and tastemakers was a pretty predictable backlash to the age of digital distribution, as fastidiously retro nouveau-folk was to the age of digital production; but, in my experience, it owns more than a small share of truth.

A lot of that record-store magic is about mentorship, light-touch or collargrabbing. Why, Jack Goldberg, the late and beloved founder of New Paltz’s Jack’s Rhythms, came up in conversation just the other day. I was in his store often, years ago, but I was shy and never spoke with him. He’d read the paper while I flipped through CDs and vinyl. I assumed that he didn’t know my name and thought of me as just one of the many awkward fellows who frequented his racks without ever plunking down much in the way of cash.

Then, in the one conversation that I ever remember having with him, it came to light that he not only knew my name; he also knew my band! He had a pretty solid sense of the ways of my taste, and of course he didn’t miss the opportunity drop a tip. It was the Bevis Frond, one of Jack’s pet causes, the absurdly prolific nom de rock of the eccentric British songwriter and guitarist Nick Saloman: the UK’s version of Guided by Voices, in many respects. He thought I might like it.

He was right. Think I’ll listen to “Early Riser” right now.

Celebrated every April, Record Store Day was conceived in 2007 at a gathering of independent record-store-owners and employees as a way to celebrate and spread the word about the unique culture surrounding nearly 1,400 independently owned record stores in the US and thousands of similar stores internationally.

The first Record Store Day took place on April 19, 2008. Today there are Record Store Day participating stores on every continent except Antarctica.

This year, Record Store Day falls on Saturday, April 21. Participating regional stores include Jack’s Rhythms and Rhino Records in New Paltz, Rhino Records and Wright Gallery Records in Kingston, the Woodstock Music Shop and Ye Olde Hippie Shoppe in Woodstock, Darkside Records and Gallery in Poughkeepsie, John Doe Records and Books in Hudson, Half Moon Records in Cold Spring and Rock Fantasy in Middletown.

CARL PALMER PLAYS BEARSVILLE THIS SUNDAY

W

ith brutal swiftness in a span of eight months in 2016, the legendary British progressive rock band Emerson, Lake and Palmer, commonly known as ELP, became simply P. In March of that year, the band’s nominal frontman and resident virtuoso Keith Emerson took his own life. In December, the honey-voiced guitarist/ bassist Greg Lake succumbed to cancer. That leaves drummer Carl Palmer to carry the torch – which he will, right into the Bearsville Theater, on Sunday, April 22 at 8 p.m.

ELP was among the first of the rock supergroups. Emerson had been in the Nice, Lake was in King Crimson and Palmer in both the Crazy World of Arthur Brown and Atomic Rooster. After ELP, Palmer of course would join Asia, one of the most commercially successful of all supergroups. Carl Palmer’s ELP Legacy speaks of this arena-rock veteran’s devotion to the achievement of this particular group, now that he alone is able to represent it.

EMPAC offers free Cecil Taylor/Pauline Oliveros recording Two of experimental music’s most bold and prolific champions – the pianist Cecil Taylor and the Hudson Valley’s own resident composer/arts advocate, the late Pauline Oliveros –

performed together in 2008 upon the occasion of the opening of the Curtis R. Priem Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center (EMPAC) at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.

This week EMPAC announced that, in honor of the visionary career achievement of Taylor, who died last week, a DVD of the two’s performance from 10 years ago will be made available through the EMPAC website for the cost of shipping and handling. Following a pair of solo improvisations, Taylor and Oliveros take the stage together for 22 minutes of focused musical meditation, exploring each

Anchored by two very-differentbut-simpatico songwriters, Eric Squindo and WKZE’s Rick Schneider, Mister Roper operates squarely in the narrative, oracular and quintessentially Catskills traditions of Dylan and the Band. In fact, Mister Roper’s excellent 2014 self-titled full-length featured cameos by Band collaborator Professor Louie and a variety of other Woodstock luminaries. From folksy and retro narratives to ballads with an almost-Biblical heft, Mister Roper knows who they are and where they are. Mister Roper has been augmented since 2014 by the bassist Andrew Shober, a veteran of Levon Helm’s late-period bands and a member of the delightful reggae collective the Apple Pickers’ Union.

Mister Roper plays a free show at the Towne Crier Café in Beacon on Friday, April 27 at 7:30 p.m. For more information, visit www.townecrier.com and www.misterroper.com. The Towne Crier is located at 379 Main Street in Beacon.

STAGE

UNICORN THEATRE PERFORMS POLAR BEARS GO UP! AT UPAC

O

nce you’ve reached the North Pole, there’s no place to go but down, right? Wrong. According to England’s Unicorn Theatre, up is the only way to go for two intrepid polar bears, famous for their wild expeditions. This time they’ve lost their balloon, and they need to get it back. So they’ll be climbing trees, jumping on clouds and reaching for the stars as they race all the way up to space (stopping for sandwiches on the way).

Polar Bears Go Up! is a show geared for very young children: the pre-K-tosecond-grade set. It will be performed at the Ulster Performing Arts Center (UPAC) in Kingston at 3 p.m. this Sunday, April 22 and at 10 a.m. and 12 noon on Monday, April 23. Tickets for the Sunday show cost $10 and may be purchased at the Bardavon box office at 35 Market Street in Poughkeepsie, (845) 4732072, the UPAC box office at 601 Broadway in Kingston, (845) 339-6088 or via Ticketmaster at (800) 745-3000. Tickets for the two Monday shows cost $6 for children, $10 for adults and may be purchased by calling Adelina Borman at (845) 473-5288, extension 106, or e-mailing aborman@bardavon.org.

Zachary Quinto shares, “When I was growing up, there was no one in a movie the size or scale of Star Trek who was openly gay.

ERICA'S CANCER JOURNEY

You ask, I answer: Daily life with my terminal disease You: Dear Erica, 1. You seem to be doing so much, and really really really living life to the fullest.

2. How do you feel most of the time?

3. What is the sick/okay/good ratio?

4. How much of your time is spent tending to the cancer versus being able to carry on with life?

Me: 1. I am so grateful I can still think, move and conduct myself independently, particularly toward chocolate. I am able to act on choices that many of my peers cannot, due to immobility, pain or discomfort. I have maintained an active, busy schedule for most of my life, so that’s not new with my cancer diagnosis. But what I continually find shocking is my lack of energy reserves. Determined to spend quality time with a friend and get at least one real outing in before returning my ski rental, I went cross-country skiing at Prospect Mountain Nordic in Vermont. I felt exhilarated and exhausted. Pre-cancer Erica would sleep it off and be bright-eyed and bushy-tailed the following morning. Current Erica needed not just one, but two rest days to recover.

Am I living life to the fullest? I feel like I’m more living life to the joyest. I’m not trying to fill every moment of every day for the sake of aliveness. I try to live a life like a marathon, less like a sprint, focused on what brings me joy (except for when sour jellybeans were on sale, and a sprint may have happened in Aisle 3).

2. Again, I am incredibly lucky to feel great most of the time. But because of that, I constantly forget that I have no energy reserves and plan my day without enough pauses to rest. And when I do remember to nap, I’m like a toddler, muttering to myself, “I’m not tired,” then fall asleep like six seconds later. Maybe sharing that here will finally get this notion into my noggin for good.

I enjoy going to the gym (where I run into some of you!), stretching, hiking, doing yoga and dancing sexily (probably more like spastically) with Mike in the kitchen. I get frustrated by how forgetful I am nowadays. I have a grocery list app on my phone, and in the time between the idea and activating the list, I forget what the item is that I want to add. I feel well, but these are deficits since my diagnosis: a combination of the effects of cancer, treatments and aging.

3. My sick/okay/good ratio is probably something like 1/9/90. What I am mostly sick of is not driving. Also, taking pills, whether prescriptions or supplements – especially large ones. If a pill has to be so big, why not make it something to savor, like (green apple) Jolly Rancher candy?

Fatigue and super-tight palms are my primary treatment side effects. It’s like my skin is too small for my palms; but the soles of my feet are fine. I read on cancer forums that some of my peers have the opposite, where their feet are in great discomfort, but their hands are okay. My doctor says that my palms are only like a Level 1, as opposed to people who suffer from blisters or raw, open wounds. My hair is growing back and I have gained weight, so while I still chill easily, it’s better than when I am too thin.

I get out of bed every day, swear I’ll go to bed earlier tonight, get washed up, eat a snack, take meds, do morning yoga, get dressed, eat breakfast or bring something with me if I’m headed to a meeting, gym or an appointment, take meds, do the thing and hopefully something from the to-do list, meds, take a nap, meds, stress about what to make for dinner, meds, and go to bed way too late.

4. My “cancer time” features a very large amount of waiting. Claude Debussy talks about music being “the space between the notes.” I feel like my appointments are tiny breaks between long stretches of waiting. A single appointment can easily take three hours from start to finish, due to delays in blood draw, blood results or waiting for the medical person to meet with me.

My oncology appointments are currently once every two weeks. Brain radiation appointments and X-rays are clustered in frequency, depending on the treatment and recovery. Brain and body scans happen every three to four months. Chiropractor is twice per week. Therapy is once per week. Then there’s the setting up appointments and commuting back and forth. Did I mention the amount of time I spend in waiting rooms?

Then there’s the gray area: Is writing about cancer a part of “cancer life” or “real life”? How about organizing rides, populating my Legacy boxes for my husband and kids or finalizing end-of-life plans? My spiritual practices were active before my diagnosis, but now, more than ever, they feel more integral to my journey. So, does that make yoga, meditation, labyrinth-walking and journaling part of my cancer life or real life?

My real life is dotted with birdfeeders; reading poetry or Dave Barry; Facebook; firepit; chores; Facebook; watching Schitt’s Creek, Drunk History, Bob’s Burgers or Standups; milkshakes; doing laundry but not putting it away; piecing together the puzzle of the kids’ summer camps; naps; (not) answering e-mails so I can reply more thoughtfully later, then completely forgetting to respond; lamenting about not driving; rediscovering that these five bumps on my dog are still not ticks; navigating eldercare; struggling with parenting.

I feel so well, and each day I’m cognizant that it doesn’t even matter. My hourglass continues to stream downward. I am very aware that every day, no matter how well-lived, brings me closer to my transition to death. I know that’s true for everyone, but my diagnosis has shortened my runway considerably.

Honestly, my terminal breast cancer is one of the easiest aspects of my life right now. How crazy is that? But here are tough questions for me: Will I be here next season? At the next holiday? For my husband’s or kids’ birthdays? For my birthday? These reflections really help me to let go. My love for self, life and others, especially my kids and husband, has more space in it. It’s lighter as I increasingly release more and more of my inner rocks. My body may be a hot mess. But my essence, my true self? Only getting better.

I love your questions! Send them to me at kidsalmanac@ulsterpublishing.com.

RACHEL SNYDSTRUP

Guests can use the new canal model at the Hudson River Maritime Museum to see how canal locks operated.

HISTORY

New “Hudson River and Its Canals” exhibit at Maritime Museum

T

he fact that the Delaware & Hudson Canal, bearing mostly coal from Pennsylvania, emptied into the Rondout Creek just a little way upstream from its confluence with the Hudson was the primary reason why Kingston became a thriving commercial hub in the 19th century.

As the bicentennials of New York State’s three great canal systems draw near (Champlain 1823, Erie 1825, D & H 1828), the Hudson River Maritime Museum is commemorating the creation of bold new transportation corridors through the barriers of the Appalachian mountain chain, back in the days when transportation by water was much cheaper and more efficient than overland travel, with a new exhibit: “The Hudson River and Its Canals: Building the Empire State.” This system of interconnected waterways created new markets, led to the rise of new cities, made New York City one of the world’s largest ports and established this state as a leader in engineering, communications, capital and international trade.

Visitors will have the opportunity to hear the voice of a woman who grew up driving a mule along the D & H Canal from the interior of a canalboat cabin. Children can operate small canalboats through a scale-model canal with mechanical locks and an aqueduct. A large 3-D topographical map showcases how the geography of the state influenced canal routes. Photos show the faces of people and animals who worked the canals, including children who grew up in canalboats and shared the work. Videos illustrate the construction and operation of the canals throughout their history.

“The Hudson River and Its Canals: Building the Empire State” opens this Saturday, April 21 and will run through December 2019. HRMM is open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission costs $7 for adults, $5 for seniors (62+) and children (18 & under), with a package rate of $20 for two adults plus children under 18.): $20.00 Admission is free for children under age 4, active-duty military with ID and members of HRMM or the Council of American Maritime Museums.

Want to know more on the subject? On Wednesday, April 25 at 7 p.m., historian Paul Schneider will present a talk titled “‘I presumed that we were all to figure in a future volume of travels…’: 19th-Century Glimpses of New York State’s Canals” at the Riverport Wooden Boat School, located next door to HRMM. Schneider will help guests discover some lesser-known lore of canal travel through such primary sources as travel guides and firsthand accounts. This will be the second lecture in HRMM’s “Follow the River” series. Admission is by a suggested donation of $5.

HRMM is located at 50 Rondout Landing in Kingston. For more info, call (845) 338-0071 or visit www.hrmm.org.

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

Pruning primer

T

o begin, I gave the bush in front of me a once-over, eyeing it from top to bottom and assuring it that the next few minutes would be all to its good. It was time for my blueberries’ annual pruning, the goals of which were to keep them youthful (the stems, at least), fecund and healthy.

I peered in at the base of the plant, eyeing now the thickest stems. Blueberry bushes bear best on stems up to six years old, so the next move was to lop or saw any of these stems – usually only three or four of them, more on a neglected plant – as low as possible. To keep track of the ages of individual stems, I mark off the age of them each year with a Sharpie. Just kidding! The thickest ones are the oldest ones, and six-year-old stems are generally an inch or more in diameter on healthy bushes.

Removing those stems that are over the hill frees up space for younger stems to develop. Each year blueberry bushes send up new sprouts from ground level – usually a few too many of them. They need to be thinned out so they don’t crowd each other as they age. I leave a half-dozen or so of the most vigorous new sprouts, lopping all others to the ground.

That’s pretty much all there is to pruning a blueberry bush. With the very oldest and some of the very youngest stems cut to the ground, the bulk of pruning the bush is finished. I’ll also snip off any dead stems, remove a branch here and there where they are congested and shorten any stems that will arch to the ground when laden with fruit.

That’s it: finished, except to step back and admire my handiwork.

Rejuvenation pruning should be done on blueberry bushes, lilac, forsythia, mock orange and hydrangea.

The same pruning done on blueberry could, in essence, be applied to lilac, forsythia, mock orange, hydrangea and any other informal shrub. This technique is known as rejuvenation pruning, because, over time, the aboveground portion of the shrub is annually rejuvenated. In the case of blueberry, the roots live unfettered year after year, but the bush never sports stems more than six years old. A perennially youthful blueberry bush can go on like this, bearing well, for decades.

Not all shrubs perform best on stems up to six years old. Some, such as kerria, snowberry, rambling roses and summer-bearing raspberries, perform best on oneyear-old stems. So every year those one-year-old stems are lopped to the ground and the youngest stems are thinned out.

Some shrubs, such as butterfly bush, everbearing raspberries and red-twigged dogwood,

perform best on new stems. In this case, the whole plant gets lopped to ground-level each year. (Everbearing raspberries actually bear both on new stems and on one-yearold stems, so could be pruned as in the previous paragraph. That takes more time, but does yield a midsummer crop on the one-year-old stems and a late-summer and fall crop on the new stems.)

At the other end of the spectrum in shrub pruning are witch hazel, tree peony, roseof-Sharon, climbing roses and flowering quince. These shrubs are among those that perform well year after year on the same old – and always growing older – stems. They also grow few or no suckers each year. The upshot is that these shrubs are the easiest to prune: Don’t.

I detail the ages of stems that are “keepers” for every shrub, plus other details in pruning all kinds of plants, in my book The Pruning Book.

All this pruning refers to informal shrubs. For formal shrubs, such as the privet hedge near one edge of my yard, I put aside the lopper, pruning shears and pruning saw and get out the hedge-trimmer. Shearing all the youngest twigs – working, this time, higher in the bushes rather than down near ground-level – elicits repeated branching, which results in dense growth.

To keep this formal hedge clothed from head to toe in leaves, I keep the row of plants narrower towards their upper portions. This lets sunlight beam down on the shrubs from top to bottom.
