Osprey have been known to migrate through Ulster County, but it wasn't until 2016 that there were confirmed local breeding records. This spring, there are two different nests in the vicinity of Kingston Point as well.

NATURE

Birdwatchers get ready for The Big Sit

T

he John Burroughs Natural History Society’s one fundraiser of the year, The Big Sit, will be held at several locations around Ulster County on Saturday, May 5. It’s a creative (and slightly competitive) birding challenge, in which participants are required to stay within a 17-foot circle and identify as many species of birds as possible within a 24-hour period.

Birdwatchers, who have solicited pledges before the big day, will sit in an area that has a diversity of habitat in line of sight and earshot and document the number of species they observe on May 5. Observers can come and go in shifts, or stay for the entire 24 hours of The Big Sit. Donors typically pledge a quarter to a dollar per species.

To participate or to pledge, visit www.jbnhs.org. Proceeds from The Big Sit help fund camp scholarships for children, support local environmental causes and provide free educational materials for JBNHS’s great nature walks and talks.

The Hudson Valley Mall in Kingston is set to lose another major tenant this summer when Regal Cinemas shuts its doors. But the mall’s owners say they are in talks with another theater operator to take over and upgrade the 12-screen cinema.

John Mulherin, vice president for government relations at Hull Property Group, confirmed Monday the Regal Cinemas had announced plans to shut down its Hudson Valley Mall franchise as of August 31. A theater has operated at the site since the mall opened in 1981.

Mulherin said talks were ongoing with another theater operator about taking over the space but, citing the negotiations, declined to name the operator.

Mulherin, however, said the company would offer first-run films. He added that the company was also discussing interior and exterior renovations of the theater as part of the deal.

“The market is fabulous,” said Mulherin of the theater’s potential.

T

he Kaatsbaan International Dance Center in Tivoli presents a performance by the American Ballet Theatre’s Studio Company on Saturday, April 28 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, April 29 at 2:30 p.m. The top level of the American Ballet Theatre training ladder, the ABT Studio Company is a classical ensemble made up of 12 dancers of outstanding potential.

All performances take place in the Kaatsbaan black-box theater, which has 160 seats, with a performance floor the size of the stage at the Metropolitan Opera. Each audience member is guaranteed an excellent seat and an intimate dance experience.

Tickets cost $30 for adults, $10 for students and children. For tickets and additional information, visit http://kaatsbaan.org.

Center for Symbolic Studies hosts Beltane Festival this Saturday

At the opposite pole from Samhain/ Halloween on the Pagan Wheel of the Year lies Beltane/May Day: the joyful festival that marks the vanquishing (for the current cycle) of Winter, the wedding of the female and male principles in Nature, the onset of times of warmth and light and plenty. For 28 years now, the Center for Symbolic Studies (CSS) has marked the occa-

sion with a colorful outdoor celebration on the Saturday before May 1.

The setting for the annual CSS Beltane Festival is called Stone Mountain Farm, a gorgeous spread at the foot of the Shawangunk cliffs in Tillson, halfway between New Paltz and Rosendale. There’s a huge open field perfect for dancing horses and processions of mummers, a ritual stone circle and a maypole and an outdoor stage where the Vanaver Caravan conducts the elaborate pageant featuring world musicians, young dancers and giant puppets that’s the cornerstone of each year’s Festival.

The theme for this year’s event is “Phoenix Rising.” If you’re a neophyte, here are a few important things to know: 1) It’s a kid-friendly, alcohol- and drug-free event. 2) Onsite parking is very limited; plan to carpool, leave your vehicle offsite and take the free shuttle or arrive on foot or by bicycle – Stone Mountain Farm is located right off the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail. 3) The after-dark fire circle/song swap that closes the Festival, formerly open to outside revelers, is now restricted to CCS volunteers only. 4) Festive dress is not mandatory, but may significantly enhance your sense of immersive pleasure.

The 28th annual CSS Beltane Festival Renaissance & Craft Faire takes place from noon until 7 p.m. this Saturday, April 28 (rain date: Sunday, April 29), with live music starting at 1 p.m. The Procession and May Pageant get underway at 4

p.m. Admission costs $15 for adults, $5 for seniors and children under 10.

There will be a $15 charge for parking at Stone Mountain Farm. (Parking and admission are free with the purchase of a $35 yearly CSS membership.) To purchase tickets in advance, visit https:// bit.ly/2FdFWmx. Stone Mountain Farm is located at the western terminus of River

Get dressed up like a zombie and walk, crawl, creep through the streets of Woodstock with the students of Rock Academy this Friday, April 27 from 5:30-9:30 p.m.

Following the crawl, students of the academy will perform songs relating to “hunger, stalking and all things zombie” at the Spring Prom at Harmony Music Woodstock. Songs will be drawn from artists including Blondie, Michael Jackson, Stevie Nicks and Duran Duran.

All participants are encouraged to wear prom clothing along with their zombie make-up.

Schedule: • 5–6 p.m.: Gather at Oriole9, 17 Tinker St., to get zombified and donate your items • 6 p.m.: Zombie Crawl begins • 7 p.m.: Zombie Prom/Concert Begins at Harmony Music, 52 Mill Hill Rd. Contact info@rockacademy.com for more information.

MOVIE

April 26, 2018

MARY JO KOPECHNE had worked closely with Robert F. Kennedy as a secretary and script doctor on some of his speeches, and on John F. Kennedy’s campaigns before that.

Teddy Kennedy (played by Jason Clarke) in Chappaquiddick. Though speculation ran rife at the time that Teddy Kennedy and Mary Jo Kopechne must have been having an affair, no evidence of such a relationship ever surfaced, and the movie treats their acquaintance as that of mutually admiring colleagues.

Gone off the road Chappaquiddick adds little to understanding the Kennedy/Kopechne tragedy

U

ndertaken with serious artistic intent and journalistic curiosity, rather than the mere impulse to sensationalize, a film dramatizing a tragic historical incident can prove amply worthy of an audience’s time – if not indeed of industry awards – even when it isn’t telling us much more than we already know. That, alas, is not quite the case with John Curran’s new movie Chappaquiddick, which

purports to be a peek behind the veil at what really happened on the night in July 1969 when senator Edward Kennedy drove his car off a bridge on Martha’s Vineyard, resulting in the drowning of his passenger, campaign worker Mary Jo Kopechne.

To its credit, Chappaquiddick’s screenplay by Taylor Allen and Andrew Logan, based primarily on the inquest into the fatal accident, doesn’t aim low.

Though speculation ran rife at the time that Kennedy and Kopechne must have been having an affair, no evidence of such a relationship ever surfaced, and

the movie treats their acquaintance as that of mutually admiring colleagues.

Kopechne had worked closely with Robert F. Kennedy as a secretary and script doctor on some of his speeches, and on John F. Kennedy’s campaigns before that.

The party on Chappaquiddick Island for the family’s secretarial aides, jokingly known as the Boiler Room Girls, may have been booze-fueled, but according to this cinematic account and its sources, hardly the orgy envisioned in the aftermath by the Kennedys’ detractors.

Viewers hoping for a lurid exposÊ here will therefore come away from Chappaquiddick disappointed. But so too will viewers whose nostalgia for the highminded Camelot era has been whetted by the tawdriness of contemporary Washington, DC, as the efforts of Teddy (Jason Clarke) and his advisors to exercise spin control will seem depressingly familiar. And for those of us who always figured that the truth lay somewhere in the middle ground between the somber, selfrighteous official story on the one hand and wild tabloid rumors and conspiracy theories on the other – well, it seems that we were right, but we come away from this

movie version with our hunger for facts as unsatisfied as we were in 1969.

In interviews, the director has indicated that part of his motivation in making Chappaquiddick was to illustrate how disposable women have always been in the workings of American power politics. Sounds like a worthy aim, but telling isn’t showing. We do get a taste of the intelligence, competence and commitment of Mary Jo Kopechne (Kate Mara), but very little of her backstory.

And despite numerous flashbacks to the accident scene, each one portraying a slightly different version of Ted Kennedy’s actions, the main storyline soon shifts to political damage control, and especially to Teddy’s fraught relationship with his harsh, demanding father, Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr. (Bruce Dern).

Therein lies the dramatic core of this rendition of the story, and Clarke’s acting chops really shine only in his scenes with the ever-masterful Dern – especially one confrontation in which Teddy somehow pushes through his father’s cold rejection (“You will never be a great man�) to embrace him in his wheelchair, thoroughly confusing the prickly old man. It’s the crux point after which the youngest, least-talented, least-likely son of the Kennedy political dynasty will find

SCREEN

AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL SCREENS TWO FILMS ON IMMIGRANTS, REFUGEES AT ROSENDALE THEATRE ON TUESDAY

E

ach year, the Mid-Hudson Valley Chapter of Amnesty International sponsors a screening at the Rosendale Theatre.

This year’s Human Rights Film presentation – two short films focusing on issues affecting immigrants and refugees – gets underway at 7:15 p.m. on Tuesday, May 1. The two films in the program are America; I Too and The Resettled.

America; I Too stars Somali actor Barkhad Abdi, Best Supporting Actor Academy Award nominee for Captain Phillips, along with more than 250 volunteer actors. Directed by Anike Tourse, the film recounts the stories that many of our nation’s immigrants face.

Produced by the not-for-profit organization Tzu Chi USA, The Resettled poses the question: “America is a nation that was built by immigrants and refugees, but are strangers from a foreign land welcome here today?”

The Resettled Directed by Alan Thompson, this film takes viewers to Detroit, San Francisco, Boise, Twin Falls and New York, and introduces refugees resettled from Iraq, Burma, Vietnam, Congo and Liberia, who share their dramatic stories of survival and the elusive search for the American dream.

The seventh annual Human Rights Film program is co-sponsored by the Amnesty International Mid-Hudson Valley Chapter, Rondout Valley High School Human Rights Club and SUNY-New Paltz Amnesty Club. A panel discussion will follow the screenings, with speakers including Ilgu Ozler, Amnesty International USA director and SUNY-New Paltz professor of Political Science & International Relations. Admission is by a suggested donation of $10. For more information about the event, e-mail amnestyhudsonvalley@gmail.com or visit https://bit.ly/2vJmnCT. The Rosendale Theatre is located at 408 Main Street (Route 213) in Rosendale.

some peace with the knowledge that he may have some good to do in the world, even if the presidency, along with Joe Sr.’s approval, is not a prize that will ever lie within his grasp.

If you want to know what was really going through Teddy’s mind in the ten hours between the moment when his Oldsmobile flipped over into the water and the moment when he actually reported the accident, Chappaquiddick the movie isn’t going to clarify matters much. Clarke’s opacity in those scenes refuses to let us in. Nor does Mary Jo Kopechne’s own story get anything close to a full retelling there. We do get to see Teddy at what may have been his weakest – young and callow, indecisive, evasive, easily swayed by more hardened politicos in his father’s employ. But we also see some limited character growth, as he lowers his expectations without actually accepting full responsibility for a woman’s death.

The irony of the story only comes clear in the closing text, which reminds us that Edward Kennedy ended up spending nearly 47 years in the US Senate: that body’s fourth-longest continuously serving member. During that tenure, he managed to accomplish far more, in terms of improving the lives of ordinary Americans, than the “heroic” JFK and RFK together ever did. Maybe the moral of the story is simply that one ought never to underestimate the potential of the family underachiever.

Free Mister Roper concert at Towne Crier Café on Friday Anchored by two very-different-butsimpatico 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.

MUSIC

Tom Jones performs to help the Bardavon

A

jewel of an old theater in a relatively hopping region, the Bardavon has little trouble drawing in eminent, hot and legendary performers. But when Bardavon does its own Benefit Gala, it typically steps up its already-top-shelf booking game to the level of the iconic: a Tony Bennett, for example; or this year, a Tom Jones. The Tom Jones.

Sir Tom Jones.

A legendary performer well into the sixth decade of his hit-studded career, Jones effortlessly bridges camp and art because he probably doesn’t give a damn about either. He has sold more than 100 million records, scoring not just hits, but cultural landmarks with such tracks as “It’s Not Unusual,” “Delilah,” “What’s New, Pussycat?” and a cover of Prince’s “Kiss” that sent his already-established career hurtling into the pop stratosphere.

Tom Jones headlines the Bardavon Gala to help the venerable organization raise money for its many community programs on Tuesday, May 1 at 7 p.m. Ticket prices are, of course, a bit on the posh side: $275 includes premier performance seating and admission to the post-show casino party at the Grand across the street; $225 includes preferred performance seating. Both tiers include taxdeductible contributions. Bardavon Gala tickets can be purchased in person at the Bardavon box office at 35 Market Street in Poughkeepsie, (845) 473-2072, the UPAC box office at 601 Broadway in Kingston, (845) 339-6088, or online at www.bardavon.org.

The concert is the fifth in the Classics on Hudson 2018 season (its third) at Hudson Hall. Ticket prices start at $25 and can be purchased online at www.hudsonhall.org or by calling (518) 822-1438. Hudson Hall is located in the Hudson Opera House at 327 Warren Street in Hudson.

Dana Murray touts new LP at Falcon On The Negro Manifesto, the Nebraska-based experimental jazz drummer and composer Dana Murray combines spoken-word, free jazz, hip hop and sonic collage to throw the arms of his mind around the profound problems of race in America. It is an ambitious, noisy, sprawling affair that ultimately

hen pressed, the New Paltz-area band Rootbrew describes their bouncy, tuneful sound as “world soul.” It is a category of convenience, and the term “world” is especially problematic. New Jersey is the world, too, of course, and Dubuque; but in our little lexicon of musical genres, “world” typically denotes Afro-Cuban, Latin, Caribbean and African musical traditions. Thus, “world” usually comes with an embedded historical narrative of oppression and redress.

Often, “world” music is the poignant story of oppressed people seizing the cultural tools (guitars!) of their oppressors and repurposing them to fashion revolutionary art and bold statements of cultural autonomy. This is a certainly a big part of what has made Afropop so potent globally for so long. When the chain of influence and debt goes the other way, we often call it “appropriation.”

And it can be a pretty hairy paradox to unpack when the music of the oppressed is adopted by sympathizers and radicals back in the land of the oppressor. The implications are a little over my head, I would say.

The delightful thing about Rootbrew is that they are serious, studious and fastidiously respectful of the music they have loved and learned well. They have apprenticed whenever possible with “the real thing,” but make no claim to being it themselves. They play their thing: a fusion of authentic West African “butterfly” guitar pop, island grooves and various folk styles from their own soil. At its best – say, “Dear Friends (Rising Up)” from Rootbrew’s three-song Resistance EP – it works like a charm: audacious and ultimately hope-filled political injunction for dark times, melodic rallying cries over the top of a lithe, complex weave of Afrocounterpoint and buoyant, sophisticated world-sourced grooves. Really nice.

Rootbrew performs at BSP on Friday, April 27 at 8 p.m. Kindred spirits Billy Wylder –players of a luminous world/folk style – are on the bill, as well as Ami Madeleine. Admission costs $10 at the door. BSP is located at 323 Wall Street in Kingston. For more on Rootbrew, visit https://rootbrew.bandcamp.com.

etting out in support of their much-anticipated new release Free Yourself Up (due on May 4), the popular American outfit Lake Street Dive appears at the Ulster Performing Arts Center (UPAC) on Sunday, May 6 at 7 p.m. The record is influenced by late-’60s/early-’70s R & B, AM pop and FM rock, but with lyrics informed more by contemporary events. Advance press describes the self-produced Free Yourself Up as the New England band’s most confident and ambitious album to date.

Stadium. They were adopted, in a Balkanized, patchwork way, by the Dead’s fans and their voracious appetite for shows, reenergizing the scene and returning jam to the clubs and small theaters from which it came.

Of these, Phish is the most enduring and distinguished, eventually arriving themselves at the arena level and staying there. But Blues Traveler was the one that scored some radio hits – which may actually be a demerit badge, depending on how you construe the codes and values of the jam.

An agile little band with some ’90s hippie soul moves and a few big hooks, Blues Traveler’s main man was the likable singer and harmonica virtuoso John Popper. If Stevie Wonder is the Toots Thielemans of the harmonica, then Popper is its Yngwie Malmsteen: a bit of a terrifying technician, less inclined to melodies and more inclined to frenetic, dazzling sheets of notes on an instrument upon which that really shouldn’t be possible.

Radio Woodstock presents John Popper at the Bearsville Theater on Friday, May 4 at 9 p.m. Tickets cost $30 and $55 and are available at www.bearsvilletheater.com.

The Bearsville Theater is located at 291 Tinker Street in Woodstock.

A contemporary King Lear this weekend in Rhinebeck Ever wonder how Donald Trump might end up if his more ambitious offspring turned against him in his old age? Consider this adaptation of William Shakespeare’s epic tragedy King Lear that’s currently being presented

by CenterStage Productions at the Center for Performing Arts at Rhinebeck: “The year is 2020. The setting is the Lear Global Office Tower and surrounding metropolis. Lear, a Titan of Industry, unexpectedly divides his

holdings among his three daughters.

Things take a tragic turn after the transfer of ownership: Lear’s two oldest reveal their true, contemptuous personalities, driving Lear into the streets. The expelled and walled-out Lear is driven mad with vengeance towards his ungrateful daughters, with tragic consequences for all.”

All right, maybe it wouldn’t unfold quite that way at Trump Towers; but it’s always fun to figure out how the classic elements of Tudor drama might manifest in the modern world. Bill Ross directs this new production of King Lear, starring John Adair as the powerful mogul who forfeits all when he favors flatterers and exiles honest

omedian and author H. Jon Benjamin is best-known as a featured voice in television’s Bob’s Burgers and Archer, a couple of credits that situate Benjamin at the center of the comedic zeitgeist. Bamford arrives at memoir via comedy. Benjamin’s overtly self-effacing first book, Failure Is an Option: An Attempted Memoir is a detailed litany of failure and, ultimately, a defense of it: an “apology” in the old sense of the word. It comes out on May 1 on Dutton.

In association with the Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts at Bard College, Oblong Books will present H. Jon Benjamin on Wednesday, May 2 at 8 p.m. in Bard College’s Olin Hall.

MILLAY SOCIETY LAUNCHES FUND DRIVE TO SAVE STEEPLETOP

welcome to my sacred salon, demise den, parting parlor... basically my room to die in at home

O

ne of America’s most popular and accessible poets in a period when poetry was rapidly estranging its popular audience, the Pulitzer Prizewinner Edna St. Vincent Millay has stood the test of time both as poet, feminist and cultural icon. The Millay Society – a nonprofit organization responsible for preserving Steepletop, Millay’s home in the Columbia County town of Austerlitz – is facing a financial crisis and has launched a campaign to guarantee that the public can enjoy Steepletop for years to come. Steepletop, which includes more than 200 acres, her house and several outbuildings, serves as a time capsule for the public, as her furniture and personal possessions have remained in place since Millay’s death in 1950.

The group is also actively seeking an organization or educational institution interested in partnering with them to help amortize the site’s operating costs and prevent closure. “Our goal is to keep Steepletop open, so visitors can experience this unique glimpse into the life and work of Edna St. Vincent Millay,” said Vincent Elizabeth Barnett, president of the Edna St. Vincent Millay Society Board. “Without your help, Steepletop will close at the end of the 2018 season.”

For more information on sustaining or partnering with Steepletop, please e-mail savesteepletop@millay.org. To learn more about the Millay Society, or to donate, visit www.millay.org/donatenow.

Rosendale cement history talk in New Paltz on Wednesday

Both a trade name and a generic term for natural hydraulic cements, Rosendale cement has turned up in some famous places. It was used in the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge, the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty, one of the US Capitol building’s wings and many other landmarks within and outside of New York. Today, the reminders and residue of the oncethriving industry are unavoidable in the area: the mines, kilns, foundations and chimneys that once powered the Rosendale Cement industry.

The New Paltz Historical Society presents “The Effect of the Rosendale Cement Industry on Rosendale, New York,” a free talk by Rosendale town historian/barber Bill Brooks. The event takes place on Wednesday, May 2 at 7 p.m. at the New Paltz Community Center at 3

Veterans’ Drive in New Paltz.

Exhibit on John Hasbrouck, first African American eligible to vote in New Paltz John Hasbrouck was born to an enslaved woman in New Paltz in 1806, and later, as a freeman, was able to purchase land in the town. He is commonly believed to be the first African American eligible to vote in New Paltz. From May 5 through June 10, Historic Huguenot Street (HHS) presents an exhibit titled “John Hasbrouck: A Most Estimable Citizen” at the DuBois Visitor Center, located at 81 Huguenot Street in New Paltz.

The exhibit features items from the HHS Permanent Collection, the HavilandHeidgerd Historical Collection at the Elting Memorial Library and Town of New Paltz records. Historical documents include the New Paltz Register of Slaves (1799-1825) listing John’s birth, two account books in John’s own hand listing work he did for white farmers and how he was compensated and New Paltz’s 1859 voter registration list, as well as personal notes, letters and receipts. The exhibit is accompanied by a full-length biographical essay written by Josephine Bloodgood, director of Curatorial and Preservation Affairs.

The exhibit is free and open to the public during regular hours at the Visitor Center: from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, except Wednesdays. A special preview of the exhibit will take place at HHS’ Spring Celebration/Pinkster Festival on Saturday, April 28 from 4 to 7 p.m. For additional information, visit www.huguenotstreet.org or call (845) 255-1660.

“The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff.

We are a way for the universe to know itself.”

– Carl Sagan

Y

ou: “I’d love to hear about what you are manifesting in your transition/dying space and how that feels. Is it empowering? Daunting?

Sacred and comforting? I just noticed sacred and scared are almost the same word, with a tiny shift of letters.”

Me: World, meet Celestina! Celestina is the name of my sacred salon, a/k/a termination accommodation, demise den, parting parlor, dying domain, quietus sanctum...basically my room to die in at home. My death digs. I felt led to the name Celestina, combining “celestial” with a feminine ending. To me, it evokes freedom and release from physical form. Stardust.

I had originally envisioned spending my final days in a screened-in porch, but I couldn’t pull off the expense. So we ended up converting our home office, which also enables us to utilize the space year-round.

We started by duping loving friends into helping us empty the room (thank you!). Then Mike and I spent weeks researching windows. Have you ever selected windows for a home-improvement project? Let’s just say it’s not exactly a straightforward decision process (a sentence I offer up as the Understatement of the Year). But it was worth it; I cried with joy when the panes were installed.

The light streams in, and our view into the woods makes the room feel doubled in size and somewhat porchlike.

The next step was determining the furniture. Despite being my final stop on the mortality train, I am living pretty fully right now. So Celestina needs to accommodate my family’s current needs as an office and a social gathering space; readily adaptable to my residing here 24/7 as I near death; and tending to my body after death. Afterwards, it reprises its role as a den or office space.

So far, so good. I have a lovely deep-orange couch that can pull out as a double bed, but it’s long enough that I just lie down on it. I have all of my yoga blocks, mats, strap and bolster piled up on the back of the couch to practice movement and meditation in here. My beloved Ryan Cronin pillows and Cousin Jean’s handmade blanket accessorize the sofa with love and style. Our computers and the printer are tucked in here, along with our desks, the exercise bike and my energy table. Gorgeous art created by friends displays on the walls. Mike made a “Celestina” sign for me that hangs over the doorframe.

Every piece of this project has been empowering: If I can survive choosing windows, I can get through anything. Just designating a room for my end-time means looking death in the face. The ultimate purpose of the room is to die in it. Dying doesn’t scare me, but needle-sticks in my arms do. Also, Stewart’s running out of mint chocolate chip ice cream – which actually happened today and I survived, so there’s that. During this time of unrest in every aspect of my life, Celestina is sacred space: Comfort. Security. Stability. A tangible expression of a proud “I Did That” to reframe my defiant “I Can’t Do That.” A steady anchor during intense waves of unpredictable physical health, eldercare concerns and parenting needs. Thank you, Cancer, for my Celestina.

“The atoms of our bodies are traceable to stars that manufactured them in their cores and exploded these enriched ingredients across our galaxy, billions of years ago. For this reason, we are biologically connected to every other living thing in the world. We are chemically connected to all molecules on Earth. And we are atomically connected to all atoms in the universe. We are not figuratively, but literally stardust.”

nce a year, the artists of Beacon open their art studios to the public. This free, citywide, weekend-long event has become one of the largest of its kind in the Hudson Valley. This year marks its tenth anniversary.

A Kickoff Party and exhibition take place on Friday, April 27 from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Oak Vino Wine Bar, located at 389 Main Street. Then, from noon to 6 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, April 28 and 29, artists throughout the city open their studios.

American art movement (not counting the art of indigenous peoples predating Amerigo Vespucci), known as the Hudson River School. It’s easy to forget that Cole was himself born in England; he didn’t emigrate to the US until he was 17, or settle at Cedar Grove in Catskill until he was 24.

Considering that Cole spent the years 1829 to 1832 and 1841 to 1842 abroad,

mainly back in England and doing the Grand Tour of Italy, and that he only lived to the age of 47, it’s fair to consider him as much as European artist as an American one.

Charged as it is with preserving all aspects of the great landscape painter’s legacy, the Thomas Cole Historic Site hasn’t forgotten that fact. To celebrate the 200th anniversary of Cole’s arrival from England in 1818, the museum is partnering with the Yale Center for British Art to present a special exhibition this spring titled “Picturesque and Sublime: Thomas Cole’s Trans-Atlantic Inheritance” in Thomas Cole’s New Studio this season.

“Picturesque and Sublime” will present masterworks on paper by major British artists, including Turner and Constable, together with significant oil-on-canvas paintings by Thomas Cole to demonstrate

Cole’s radical achievement of transforming the well-developed British traditions of landscape representations into a new bold formulation, known as the American Sublime.

An Opening Reception for “Picturesque and Sublime” will be held at the Thomas Cole Site from 4 to 6 p.m. this Saturday, April 28. It’s free, and if it’s a nice day out, you might want to arrive early enough to check out the Hudson River Skywalk’s three new viewing platforms on the sidewalk of the Rip Van Winkle Bridge – within walking distance of Cedar Grove, for the reasonably fit. The Skywalk project is a pedestrian-friendly New York State

Black Arts Movement show at SUNY-Ulster’s Kingston Center honors Benjamin Wigfall If you had anything to do with the visual arts in New Paltz in the 1960s through 1990s, you probably have fond memories of Ben Wigfall as a teacher, a mentor, a community activist and quite possibly a friend. He may have been the first African American addition to the SUNY-New Paltz faculty, but Wigfall certainly didn’t live in an ivory tower (or even an ebony one). An extraordinarily gifted painter and printmaker from an early age, he was also famously accessible, humble, engaged and engaging, tirelessly challenging and boosting younger artists.

He championed the inclusion of African American culture into the canon of fine art; worked with students to help the college establish a Black Studies program; opened and ran, for two decades, the influential Watermark/Cargo Gallery in Kingston’s Rondout; and turned his print studio in Ponckhockie into a community center and contemporary art showcase called Communications Village, where up-and-coming stars of the Black Arts Movement would meet and mingle with Wigfall’s academic colleagues, students and protégés and regular people from the neighborhood. “Beloved” is a word that one hears a lot when talking with people who knew Ben. Benjamin Wigfall died a little over a year ago, and his importance as a catalyst for the mainstream appreciation of contemporary art by African Americans has not gone unnoticed. Organized by TRANSART & Cultural Services and curated by Marline A. Martin, a new exhibition titled “Restoring Pride in Culture: Legacy and Tradition” opens at SUNY-Ulster’s Kingston Center, where it will remain on view through June 10.

The exhibit celebrates Wigfall’s spirit and legacy through artworks by several of his prominent peers, including Romare Bearden, Robert Blackburn, Betty Blayton, Melvin Edwards, Ann Tanksley and Emmett Wigglesworth. The collection of 37 works – paintings, lithographs, woodcuts, etchings, quilts, collages and monoprints – also features art by Myrah Brown Green, Willie Mae Brown, Bryan Collier, Roy Crosse, Robin Holder, Dindga McCannon, Otto Neals, Donovan Nelson, Ademola Olugebefola and Michael Kelly

Williams.

“Restoring Pride in Culture: Legacy and Tradition” will be open to the public from 3:30 to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday and from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturdays. A number of the living artists whose work is shown in the exhibit will attend the opening reception this Saturday, April 28 from 2 to 5 p.m., which will feature music

by Joakim and Chris, an Afro-Rock dance and trance duo. On Thursday, May 10 at 5 p.m. in Room 104 of the Kingston Center, Living Treasures of Harlem: Continuing the Movement, a documentary about the Weusi Artists’ Collective and their contributions to the Harlem community, will be screened, followed by a talkback with exhibit curator Marline A. Martin and TRANSART president Greer Smith.

The Kingston Center of SUNY-Ulster is located at 94 Mary’s Avenue in Kingston.

Free lecture this Friday launches “Master Class: Northern European Art 1500-1700” at Vassar

Crispijn de Passe the Younger, Dutch, ca.

1597–1670, Tulipa Persica, Tulipa Candia

In honor of the career of Susan Donahue Kuretsky, a faculty member who has specialized in the art of Northern Europe at Vassar College for more than 40 years, the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center has mounted an exhibition from its Permanent Collection titled “Master Class: Northern

European Art 1500-1700.” It opens with a panel discussion at 4:30 p.m. this Friday, April 27 in Room 102 of Taylor Hall 102, followed by a reception in the Art Center. The exhibit will remain on view through September 2.

Admission is free.

Curated by Elizabeth Nogrady, “Master Class” is composed primarily of drawings and prints by Dutch, Flemish, and German artists, organized roughly by their date of acquisition. Three galleries at the Lehman Loeb present the featured works under the headings of “The Golden Age in the Gilded Age (1864-1945),” “New Arrivals and New Purchases (1945-1992)” and “Breaking New Ground (1993-2018).” This arrangement illuminates the dynamic relationship between the museum and the classroom at Vassar, as well as its connection to the larger story of Northern European art in the US from the 1860s to today. Highlights include an etching of a lively self-portrait by Rembrandt, an engraving of a dancing couple by Albrecht Dürer and a new acquired original drawing by Jacob Jordaens.

The Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center is open to the public Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Thursday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m. It is located at the entrance to the Vassar College campus at 124 Raymond Avenue in Poughkeepsie. For additional information, call (845) 437-5632 or visit https://fllac.vassar.edu.

CALL FOR A FREE IN-HOME CONSULTATION! PHOTO BY JOHN CURRIE

The TAP New York Craft Beer and Food Festival celebrates its 21st gathering of craft breweries this Saturday and Sunday, April 28 and 29 at Hunter Mountain. The event New York State’s largest craft beer festival, the largest single-state craft beer festival in the nation and was voted the Fifth Best Beer Festival in the country by USA Today readers.

This weekend, 126 New York-based craft breweries will be on hand, pouring more than 400 varieties of local beer.

We’re not talking about big-corporation beer that comes out of huge vats in a 300,000-square-foot plant, or beer that is rushed through the brewing process to get it on the shelf as quickly as possible.

We’re talking about handmade beer with personality and genuine taste, made with pride by people who truly enjoy a quality, flavorful beer.

Many of the invited brewers produce their beer for sale only in their locations – restaurants, brewpubs or small breweries; others are large enough to distribute on a broader scale, but maintain an excellent quality through their commitment to hands-on craft-brewing of their product.

You will find beers that offer a variety of color and flavor that the big brewers don’t: everything from pale ales and pilsners to weissbiers, porters, stouts and Scotch ales, from hearty Bohemian and Bavarian-style lagers to glorious Belgian-style ales and much more.

TAP New York is also a competition, with beer experts and guest judges awarding the Matthew Vassar Brewers’ Cup, the F. X. Matt Memorial Cup and the Governors’ Brewers Cup on Saturday.

Gold, Silver and Bronze Medals are also awarded in style categories including Wheat Beers, Light/Dark/Strong Lagers, Pale Ales, Light Ales, Brown Ales, India Pale Ales, Strong India Pale Ales, Strong

ALMANAC WEEKLY

April 26, 2018

This Saturday, April 28, Marbletown joins the lineup of Hudson Valley townships opening the doors to some of their privately owned historic properties to visitors for a few hours. A fundraising event for the Ulster County Historical Society (UCHS), the first-ever Historic House Tour of Marbletown will take place between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.

Attendees are required to begin at the Bevier House Museum, located at 2682 Route 209, where they will be issued wristbands, maps and descriptive brochures, after which the tour is selfguided. Among the seven distinguished houses and two barns included in the tour – all located among Kripplebush, Stone Ridge, High Falls and Hurley – are the Thomas Chambers House, the Tully Barn, the Rydant Barn (open from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. only) and a building formerly housing the “Teahouse in the Garden.”

There will be a reception for attendees at the Museum at 4 p.m., after the close of the tour.

All the historic houses on the tour started as one- or two-room houses. Most of them were constructed of stone, while others had stone foundations and were built of clapboard. Over the centuries, the houses were expanded. The houses on this tour reflect a range of the decisions owners had to make: how much of the original house should be preserved, what features should be kept, what features could be added. Some of the architectural choices made in the 20th century stemmed from the fact that parts of the houses were dilapidated, or historic features had been damaged beyond repair. New owners had to decide how much to modernize, or how much to restore features that were faithful to the 18th and 19th centuries. In the final stages of restoration, owners had to decide how to furnish the houses: with antiques, reproductions, newer furniture that would not clash or modern pieces.

Advance tickets cost $20 for UCHS members and $25 for non-members.

Day-of-tour tickets cost $25 and $30. To purchase, visit www.ulstercountyhs.org and click on the Event tab. For more info, call (845) 377-1040.

NIGHT SKY

More easy astronomy Upcoming: Jupiter’s lunar conjunction

L

et’s prove how easy and dramatic astronomy can be. All you need is a mostly clear sky on Sunday or Monday night. Either evening, the very bright star nearest the Moon is Jupiter. That’s all you need to know: the Moon and Jupiter. Together and brilliant.

And it’s topical, because just a week later, Jupiter arrives at its closest to Earth of the entire year. This weekend’s conjunction unfolds with Jupiter at maximum brightness.

How do you pronounce Jupiter? In the New York City area, everyone says it with the letter D: “JupiDer.” In England, they say “JupiTer.” But in America, clearly pronouncing that T sounds a bit artificial or affected.

So let’s just bury the T a bit. It actually takes a bit of practice.

The Moon’s dark blotchy “seas” – solidified lava flows – are easy to discern with the naked eye. However, since typical lunar craters are 60 miles wide, like the distance from Newburgh to Manhattan, we can’t see them, since human 20/20 vision would only be able to discern something 200 miles across on the Moon’s surface.

That’s why not a single crater was ever glimpsed until a fateful night in early January, 1610, when Galileo aimed his first telescope at the Moon. Then, on January 7, the cranky bearded Italian pointed his instrument at Jupiter and saw its moons, looking like tiny stars. In the nights to follow, he watched them circle around Jupiter: the first proof that Earth isn’t the center of all motion, as had been believed by the ancient Greeks.

You can replicate that moment if you dig out your binoculars, or the small telescope that you haven’t used since forever. Unless you have image-stabilized binoculars, brace your elbows on a windowsill so your hands don’t shake. The binoculars’ mere seven magnification gives you a better experience than Galileo had. Through them, three of Jupiter’s giant satellites stand to the right of the planet on Sunday night, with orange Io hidden behind Jupiter until 1 a.m., when it pops out on the left side. Then, on Monday night, three are again on the right side, with Europa alone on the left. Europa is the one with warm salty oceans beneath its icy surface, and is the likeliest place for life beyond Earth.

If you have a small telescope, all those moons are super-easy, and Jupiter itself shows features on its gassy, fast-spinning surface. But our own Moon looks flat those nights: the invariable consequence of the Full Moon phase.

And if all you have are your baby browns, that’s good enough. This is wonderful,

Europa is the one with warm salty oceans beneath its icy surface, and is the likeliest place for life beyond Earth.
