FESTIVAL

Mountain Jam at Hunter Jack Johnson, Alt-J, Sturgill Simpson, George Clinton, Kurt Vile, the Decemberists and dozens more bands take to the hills

M

ountain Jam returns to the hills of Hunter in mid-June with a deep lineup and the offhand assurance of a seasoned, veteran festival. It is a flexible festival, expansive, but deeply rooted in its own time-honored thing: songs, grooves, a loose emphasis on the organic-and-rootsy in its myriad guises. Following the recent trend, the roster is current and hip, but not all that current and hip. Mountain Jam knows that it isn’t the Governor’s Ball and doesn’t try to be, though there is significant overlap.

The migration away from the Dead-derived jam world has been complete for a number of years. Still, compared to the urban polyglot favored on Roosevelt Island, the slopes of Hunter are a place where guitars still play. They don’t play them like they used to, though. One wonders if the total elapsed time of guitar solos this year will equal the duration of a single Warren Haynes jam in years past.

If there is one conspicuous absence in this year’s lineup, it is that of Rushmore-level rock royalty, a senior presence. The measured and staged move away from jam and roots/blues has been a fact for many years, but in most recent lineups, there has always been the figure of a great unifier, a classic rock eminence or some eminences: We’ve seen Tom Petty in this role, and Robert Plant, Steve Miller and Steve Winwood, as well as some acts we still think of as current even though they have long been in the eminence stage of their careers, like (in the same year) Beck and Wilco. We remember years when it was Bob Weir one night and Levon Helm the next. Well, in fairness, there is one notable eminence on the bill: George Clinton’s current working version of Parliament/Funkadelic.

One of the headliners, Jack Johnson, has obviously been around a while, but his considerable draw seems to come from a kind of quarantined sector of the live music world – one shared by the Dave Mathews band and a handful of others (OAR?).

The other big names in this year’s lineup are established concerns who, maybe, fare better in the critics’ sweepstakes than the popular. Sturgill Simpson is a new old country artist, Father John Misty a devilishly subservice Laurel Canyon persona who has morphed into something more real. Portugal the Man was one thing, and then they scored an outlandishly big hit and became another.

A lot of fans are finding their excitement in the lineup’s beefy indie-rock middle, where cult icons like Jenny Lewis and the Decemberists reside, or Philly citymates and former bandmates the War on Drugs and Kurt Vile and Violators, who play a kind of indie-rock well-suited for the hills of Hunter.

It is an exciting time for Mountain Jam as it expertly spans its past and its future. It all goes down on the weekend of June 15 through 17. Ticketing and camping options are predictably complex, but the website is old-hand at making sense of it. See the full lineup and everything else you need to know at http://mountainjam.com/lineup.

FESTIVAL

JEFF TWEEDY HEADLINES CLEARWATER’S GREAT HUDSON RIVER REVIVAL THIS WEEKEND

A

different kind of party, Clearwater’s Great Hudson River Revival marks its 40th anniversary in June. More than any other established music festival, the Clearwater Festival, as it’s commonly known, is directly associated with activism and the environmental movement via the imprimatur of its founder, Pete Seeger. It has thus always featured a gracefully integrated didactic and participatory component that newer-model festivals like Lollapalooza have attempted to emulate, sometimes in the form of community-minded afterthoughts like clean-needleawareness programs. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

But Clearwater remains the most socially purposeful, familyand eco-friendly and perhaps the soberest of Bacchanalia. What certainly hasn’t escaped notice, however, is what a fine and inclusive music festival it has evolved into in the last decade, in which it has strayed in thoughtfully curated ways from its home base of folk Jeff Tweedy and bluegrass. Embodying Ellington’s famous words – all music is folk music; “it’s music for folks!” – Clearwater has embraced world music fully, has come to peaceable terms with rock and now understands electronics as the people’s tools every bit as much as Woody’s text-covered guitar and Pete’s four-string banjo.

And somehow, it still remains solidly a folk and roots festival. Just looking along the top line of this year’s lineup, we can read a lot into the working aesthetics of Clearwater. Jeff Tweedy’s career has evolved into an unlikely pivot point of American music, a wheel with spokes in all directions. As a member of Uncle Tupelo, he helped usher in the new alt/folk impulse of the ’90s, which in essence wrested the earthy eccentricity and political agency of folk and country back from a Nashville establishment that was aiming for massmedia currency. Our own roots/rock hero Rhett Miller was a big player in that story as well, as was another of Clearwater’s headliners this year, Beth Orton, in her “folktronica” way. With Wilco, Tweedy has defined a broad territory of experimental, progressive roots music. His musical purpose – indeed his very existence – provides a fitting, core rationale of Clearwater’s cultivated inclusivity.

As famous for musical and business autonomy as for contentious provocation and an aggressive and sophisticated guitar technique, folk/rocker Ani DiFranco is revered and reviled and above all revolutionary. She is a direct heir of Guthrie and Seeger in her walk of the talk and in her sturdy command of

multiple folk and roots idioms, which she populates with news from today’s fronts, not yesteryear’s. Pete really must have appreciated her, is my guess.

And it is time – more than 20 years now after she was the story – that we all do as well.

With the Carolina Chocolate Drops, Rhiannon Giddens has pretty much owned the moment in current/traditional roots music. And, man, is she up to it or what? Outlaws of a different sort, Dave Alvin and Jimmie Dale Gilmore have formed a late career duo of prolific and influential “insider pick” songwriters.

2018 features what is perhaps Clearwater’s oddest booking to date: the brilliant, brainy, surreal and enduring smart-pop duo They Might Be Giants, who are almost certainly the least organic act ever to mount the stage at Croton Point, even though they play real guitars and drums. And yet Clearwater has earned the right to such WTF moves, for with every one, they widen the reach of the “big tent” of American music: music for folks. What Pete Seeger made, or would have made, of “Ana Ng” – now a sobering 30 years old – is anyone’s guess. I think it is one of the most beautiful and touching songs of the 20th century.

Clearwater takes place on the weekend of June 16 and 17 at Croton Point Park.

And while college rock/indie rock could get somewhat brainy tremolo-noir guitars and lyrics that (say, Pavement), it was brainy like John Ashbery or Lydia Davis or are big-brained, difficult to the point Camille Paglia, not brainy like Astor Piazzolla or Ennio Morricone of being functional nonsense for most or Van Dyke Parks.

The funny thing, though, is that Bird John Cage nailed the foundational spirit of indie rock years before: never explicitly presumed musical “Yes, anyone could do it, but they don’t.” It is the prerogative of slack and dabble, which of course really means the prerogative of idle wealth substance or courted the plumage TANNER MORRIS in its years of handsome dalliance.

Apart from a film score or two and some jams with Yo-Yo Ma, Andrew Bird’s first actual gesture of compositional seriousness is his most recent project, nearly 25 Not me, however. I was intrigued from the start by the surprising appearance of musical seriousness in rich-kid rock. I loved hearing it blossom. I was refreshed by years into his prolific career (take that, oh rooftops of Brooklyn): a series of siteit, often declaring fast allegiance to that freshness before I was even precisely sure specific improvisational short films and recordings called Echolocations, recorded whether I liked the songs at all. Would it produce lasting iconic rock? Probably not. in remote spaces – a Utah canyon, an abandoned seaside bunker, the middle of I don’t know, because I don’t care much about lasting iconic rock and the terms the Los Angeles River and a reverberant tile-covered aqueduct in Lisbon. That’s of relevance, of rock that purports to end wars or to express the hollow heart and the first pretentious-on-paper move of his career, and the music itself is just more dead eyes of one of generation or the let’s-start-over conscious innocence of another effortless and broadly defined folk beauty, with very little in the way of conscious generation or the identity fluidity of yet another. But I am half-curmudgeon, after positioning.

Robert Burke Warren pays tribute to Leonard Cohen in Woodstock Attempting to account for his own enduring status and success, the late great Leonard Cohen once said that people hunger for gravity and serious-

ness in their lives, and that he aimed to provide it. One of the few established poets to try his hand at the rock arts and really make it work, Cohen penned many magically heavy songs: to name just a few, “Suzanne,” “Tower of Song,” “Everybody Knows” and of course that lovely religious song that Jeff Buckley used to route an awful lot of late-life revenue Cohen’s way.

Like Lou Reed and Stephen Malkmus, Leonard Cohen was often ill-equipped to represent his own melodic genius. For much of her career, long before Buckley stepped into the role, Judy Collins did it for him. His oeuvre is full of treasures for the interpreter: great melodies that might

not have had a fair hearing to date.

Following up on the wildly successful Johnny Cash Tribute at Colony, songwriter and author Robert Burke Warren teams with Colony to present “I’m Your Man: An Evening of Leonard Cohen” on Friday, June 22 at 8 p.m. The bill features a host of Catskill music luminaries paying tribute to the great Canadian bard.

UPAC presents Jason Bonham’s Led Zeppelin Evening next Sunday

We can argue until the heavy-footed, dull-eyed but strangely placid cows come home about who the best drummers in rock history are. No one will be satisfied, and everyone will go home unhappy and unsure why. It is more fun and productive to speak of influence, especially if we keep in mind the idea that culture may not always choose wisely – that there is nothing infallible about the process, nothing inevitable about what prevails and what falls away. It could have gone another way. Near-miss alternative worlds abound, just out of our sight.

When John Bonham dropped that crazy foot of his 12 seconds into “Good Times, Bad Times” on Led Zeppelin’s 1969 selftitled debut, rock drumming changed instantly and forever. The world in which Mitch Mitchell and Ginger Baker were the virtuosi of heavy rock suddenly seemed…

well, among other things, much less heavy. Bonham’s deep pocket, his tightly integrated grooves, his quick foot and his rare blend of sophistication and savagery (that high-hat will lacerate your throat with sound alone) changed the game.

For a decade after his untimely death in 1980, he was just “one of the greats of the old school,” while a younger generation of drummers – Stewart Copeland foremost among them – defined the new. Sometimes cultural impact has a latency, a delay. It was in the ’90s, the grunge and modernrock decade, in which Bonhamism graduated from being one style among many into the template: simply the way you play rock drums.

John’s son Jason Bonham can hardly be accused of cashing in on his father’s thing.

The talented younger Bonham has been at the family business for much longer than John ever was, and by no means has all of his work been Zeppelincentric. But he hasn’t shied away from the family brand, either. He has recorded with Page and played with Zeppelin at several of their more significant one-offs over the years.

Thomas Cole Site in Catskill hosts tea class this Saturday Kim Bach, founder of Verdigris Tea in Hudson and Catskill, addresses the enduring, cross-cultural popularity of tea in a class at the Thomas Cole National Historic Site on Saturday, June 16 at 3:30 p.m. The tea lesson will in-

clude tasting an assortment of teas, as well as tips on brewing techniques and a hands-on review of popular teas from different countries.

“The history of tea is fascinating,” Bach says. “If it hadn’t been for the British East India Company, it would have stayed a Chinese regional beverage. But, because of their monopoly, when they began importing it to Britain (and the British colonies), it was cheaper than coffee, chocolate and alcohol. The result was instant popularity with every economic demographic.”

Tickets cost $20 and include three complimentary one-ounce bags of featured teas from the day’s class. Reservations are required. Call (518) 828-3139 or e-mail verdigristea@gmail.com. The Thomas Cole National Historic Site is located at 218 Spring Street in Catskill.

An Upstate of mind Where, exactly, is “Upstate New York”?

F

or a native of New York’s metropolis, the Adirondacks are equally remote as the Alps; Binghamton is a much bigger schlep from the Bronx than Boiceville; and Beacon, unlike Bolton Landing, is a day trip. Yet let a Manhattanite ask a Catskills homesteader where she dwells, or a Franklin County hunter where he hangs his .30-30, and chances are good that they will both say “Upstate.” Ditto the residents of Binghamton, Beacon and Bolton Landing.

So where, exactly, is Upstate? Where does it begin? What are its boundaries? In which part of Canada does it terminate?

A quick consultation with Wikipedia, that millennial repository of the world’s wisdom, gives us this: “Upstate New York is the portion of the American state of New York lying north of the New York metropolitan area. The region includes most of the state of New York, excluding New York City, the lower Hudson Valley and Long Island, though the precise

Westchester County. Hence, the two points at which New Yorkers are most likely to see Upstate beginning are either just outside the City or at the northern end of the Hudson River Valley.

“For those curious, there is a correct answer,” Bump concludes. “Upstate

Asked to weigh in on the subject, gubernatorial candidate Cynthia Nixon’s considered opinion pissed off a lot of Almanac readers: “I don’t think the Hudson Valley is Upstate,” she said.

“Once you get to Ithaca, by around there, you’re starting to get Upstate.” begins north of Poughkeepsie, where the Metro-North Railroad’s Hudson line ends. If you can commute to New York City, you’re not Upstate. North of Poughkeepsie, you can’t.” Except that, technically, you can commute to the city from north of Poughkeepsie, if you’re

is Upstate. In a word, no: Western New York is part of Ontario.)

For Nina Shengold, writer in the Vly, Upstate is “wherever mulch is pillow talk.”

“Upstate is hanging on to your landline for no good reason but always checking your iPhone,” says Steven Kolpan, an erstwhile video artist and wine professor now biding his time in West Hurley. “It’s buying Amazon but thinking locally.

Somehow finding the balance between sanctimonious and humble.”

Then again, if we take the long view – the geologic view – the distinction between Upstate and Downstate becomes rather silly. Some 248 million years ago, the land on which we now refrain from eating gluten in trendy restaurants or receive aromatherapy treatments at Wellness Centers was part of a vast, impacted single continent, an impossibly conglomerated giant land mass that spanned from pole to pole. There was no Upstate, no Downstate, no Catskills or Adirondacks and no New York. And guess what? If we flash forward another 248 million years…well, the smart money says that’ll once again be the case.

boundary is debated.” It goes on to say: “Downstate New York is a term denoting the portion of New York State… in contrast to Upstate New York.”

Thanks to such piercing clarity, we can now begin to appreciate the magnitude of the problem. Since the “precise boundary” of Upstate New York is “debated,” we cannot with any exactitude determine where Downstate ends and Upstate begins. The conundrum, I need not add, keeps more than a few of us awake at night.

Oh, we can eliminate certain communities from consideration as Upstate localities; living in West Hempstead, for example, you’d have to be exceptionally pretentious, or utterly delusional, to say that you shared a bioregional affiliation with the good burghers of New Paltz. And yet…does New Paltz itself qualify as Upstate? At what point does the mid-Hudson Valley (up) become the lower Hudson Valley (down)?

Nobody seems to know. But everybody is willing to go to the mattresses to settle the question.

Take the response to the recent declaration by gubernatorial candidate Cynthia Nixon. Asked to weigh in on the subject, her considered opinion pissed off a lot of Almanac readers: “I don’t think the Hudson Valley is Upstate,” she said.

“Once you get to Ithaca, by around there, you’re starting to get Upstate.” Right, and Kingston is part of Connecticut, and Troy is a city in Asia Minor.

Shortly after reading Nixon’s comment, Washington Post reporter Philip Bump polled 1,016 New Yorkers as to where they stood on the question. Rounding the latitude and longitude of each response to the nearest tenth, Bump found that “the longitudinal responses were weighted along the Albany-to-New-York spine,” while in terms of latitude, the most common responses were Albany and

willing to gradually empty your life savings for a daily ride on an Amtrak express from Rhinecliff or Hudson.

Another way to address the issue is to assign degrees of Upstatedness. For instance, if you reside in Rosendale, you are two degrees of separation from Brooklyn and virtually Upstate; if you have a gallery or a bistro in Columbia County, you are snugly (and in all likelihood smugly) Upstate; and if you live in a town where the main diversion is cow-tipping, you are way the fuck Upstate.

But after due deliberation, the best answer seems to be: Upstate is not a geographical locale, but a state of mind. To illustrate, here follow some observations reflective of that mental state, culled from respondents to my own very loosely and lazily conducted poll: “Upstate starts where croissants become croissanwiches, and cookies are the size of your head,” avers the author and dramatist Laura Shaine, living cozily Upstate in Stone Ridge.

According to Karen Phillip, it has to do with accent: “If you say CAW-fee, you’re not an Upstater.” (Phillip, of Kingston, also wants to know if western New York

GlassBarge in Kingston & Catskill

T

he Corning Museum of Glass is a must-see stop if you’re touring New York’s Southern Tier or the Finger Lakes, but Corning is a bit of a schlep from the Hudson Valley for a day trip. Now, in honor of the 2018 bicentennial of the Erie Canal, and the 150th anniversary of the relocation of the Brooklyn Flint Glass Company to Corning, this center of the US glassmaking industry is bringing its fascinating art right to us, via a one-of-a-kind floating venue called GlassBarge.

This 30-by 90-foot steel canal barge has a glassblowing demonstration studio built-in.

GlassBarge will provide free glassblowing demonstrations from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. All demos are approximately 30 minutes long, and seating is limited, so guests are strongly encouraged to register online for specific demonstration locations and times.

Launched in Brooklyn Bridge Park on May 17, GlassBarge has been making its way up the Hudson. It will stop at the Hudson River Maritime Museum on Kingston’s Strand on June 15 to 17 ( joined by the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum’s replica canal schooner Lois McClure) and Historic Catskill Point on June 19. It will then travel north on the Hudson, then westward along the Erie Canal before making its way to the Finger Lakes.

Photo of West Saugerties author Stephen McCauley by Sharona Jacobs

My Ex-Life Stephen McCauley reads from his latest novel this Saturday in Woodstock

I

t is fully possible to enjoy My Ex-Life, the seventh novel by West Saugerties resident Stephen McCauley, as nothing heavier than a sustained and virtuoso performance of pure zing: a rich harvest of contemporary irony, selfeffacing wit, conspiratorial barbs, and the gentle debunking, if not the outright clinical deconstruction of illusions.

Although it is well-differentiated from character to character, this playful-butfrank disenchantment is the novel’s common material, its oxygen.

The characters here – especially the more humane ones – are wryly suspicious even of their own suffering.

A few pages into My Ex-Life, one of its three principals – the endearingly disheveled secret stoner and newly single mom Julie Fiske – looks down upon her town at dusk, the professionally quaint village of Beauport, Massachusetts (a barely anonymized Rockport, with McCauley’s “Hammond” as its boardedup companion community Gloucester).

With the touch of a prose watercolorist, McCauley writes: “From the steps where she was sitting, she could see the harbor and the shadowy lobster boats tugging at their moorings and the yellow lights starting to come on in the awful restaurants along the shore.”

The scene, like everything else in this deceptively breezy novel, acknowledges its own clichés and the awful truths right beneath them – from the lesser awfuls of bad food and the banal aesthetics of tourism to the greater awfuls of economic and environmental collapse, high-strung political dualism and the ravages of unchecked wealth. Even when McCauley’s characters try, with or without the aid of a little weed, to

wring a residual moment of nostalgia from their lives and what’s left of their myths, the wistful disillusionment is baked right into the landscape.

Sardonic, wry and ceaselessly funny as it may be, My Ex-Life genuinely surprises as it progresses, accumulating tenderness, warmth and complexity, and providing some latitude for modest growth and underplayed epiphanies to all its vivid characters – even the most jaded, narcissistic and rapacious. The story concerns the rekindling-under-duress of a friendship between Julie and her gay ex-husband from long ago, David Hedges. Several entangled and mirrored crises drive the plot: impending homelessness, pressing financial deadlines, the expedient reconnection of David and Julie and the intensifying identity issues of the precocious ironist Mandy, Julie’s teenage daughter and the third character from whose perspective the story is told.

Mandy is named for her father Henry’s love of the art of Barry Manilow. In a lesser novel of the same cast, Henry would be the literal straight man and straw man – a stiff philistine to David’s graceful wit and ready compassion – but McCauley is quite above that. Henry’s empathetic turnaround, after we have been baited to loathe him, is one of the novel’s quietly triumphant and contrarian moves.

In this novel, homes must double as AirBnBs, financial resources come from specious litigation, raided retirement accounts and the selling of literal family jewels. The kind lack all conviction and the rich are full of passionate (if jaded and self-aware) intensity. It is a funny and easygoing novel on the surface, but

The story concerns the rekindling-underduress of a friendship between Julie and her gay ex-husband from long ago, David Hedges.

McCauley’s astute grasp of snowballing socioeconomic doom permeates every telling detail. It is there if you want it, fine if you don’t. No spoilers here, because My Ex-Life sustains a nice, purposeful plot tension even as it remains primarily a study in character, relationship and milieu. By the end, McCauley discovers something like a new “wholesome”: some pretty sturdy working redefinitions of family and of home for his characters.

W

hen I sat down to talk on the Internet with Stephen McCauley, who co-chairs the Creative Writing program at Brandeis University, I asked him whether he sees himself as a novelist who balances pop readability with disguised literary ambition, and suggested that I do. “Because I teach at the university level and am surrounded by colleagues who are serious intellectuals,” he said, “I’ve often worried that my

work isn’t ‘literary’ enough in their eyes.

I think it’s held me back somewhat. Of course, 20 years in, I found out half of my colleagues are devoted mystery and sci-fi readers, so it was a lot of wasted neurotic energy. Fortunately, I’ve got plenty of neurotic energy to waste. Also, when you get to a certain age, you care less about all that. What a relief!”

McCauley’s first novel, 1987’s The Object of My Affection, was adapted into a big studio movie starring Jennifer Aniston and Paul Rudd: kind of the Holy Grail of the modern novelist right out of the gate.

Another of his novels was turned into a French film (McCauley enjoys a large and enthusiastic French audience); and My Ex-Life sets up well for adaptation, too, with its iconic and picturesque setting and its escalating plot urgencies. I asked McCauley if he writes with the eventuality of film in mind.

“To be honest, I’ve been amazed that my novels have attracted filmmakers.

They don’t have the kinds of plots that filmmakers seem to like best – tightly woven suspense, that kind of thing. And no special effects. Sometimes I’m not even sure I understand plot. My approach is: ‘Some people have some problems. Let’s see how they work them out.’ The things I like best in my books are the observations about life and the asides. These are almost impossible to convey on the screen.”

What about those characters, perched between disarming honesty and comforting illusions? For all his zing, McCauley is a writer who genuinely loves his characters and wants the best for them. “I think it’s the responsibility of the writer to see behind his characters’ defenses. I like to move all my characters toward greater self-awareness. It’s fun for me as a writer – and hopefully fun for my readers – to see even the most ‘poisonous’ characters (usually the minor ones) pull aside their defense mechanisms and display something good by the end. I never know where my novels are headed, but I liked these flawed characters so much, I really hoped they’d end in a better place than they were at the beginning. The trick is to make the ending earned and not wrap everything up too neatly,” leaving that for Hollywood.

– John Burdick Stephen McCauley will read from My ExLife at the Golden Notebook in Woodstock on Saturday, June 16 at 2 p.m. Copies of the novel will be available for purchase and signing. The Golden Notebook is located at 29 Tinker Street in Woodstock.

H

ard as these times may be for progressives, some comfort may be found in the knowledge that women are reframing Hollywood in ways that are beginning to seem irreversible. The #metoo movement shining an unflinchingly bright light on the horrible Harvey Weinsteins of that world was merely the opening salvo. Female moviegoers are discovering the power of the purse, and we want to see ourselves up on that screen. We want more screenwriters and directors who have lived our stories. The “Bechdel Test,� a parameter for judging whether or not a film is sexist, is not a high bar, but a bottom line.

Execution is, of course, to be judged separately from concept. Among the most frequently made mistakes in production companies’ attempts to appeal to female viewership is the assumption that women care most about fripperies like clothes,

hair, makeup and bling. My fear in going to see Ocean’s 8 – the new femaleensemble chapter in the Oceans franchise, launched by the Rat Pack in 1960 and refreshed in the early Aughts by Steven Soderbergh – was that I was about to see a movie about women obsessed with the trappings of glamour. Hearing from other reviewers who know more about fashion than I do that the costume design was onpoint made me nervous.

So it is with great relief that I am able to report that the new movie, directed by Gary Ross and co-written by Ross with Olivia Milch, keeps the externals external.

True, Ocean’s 8’s MacGuffin is an eightpound diamond necklace, intended to be stolen at the Met Gala and replaced with a copy. And Helena Bonham Carter’s character Rose, a fashion designer whose time has come and gone and who is in financial trouble, is a key member of the team. But admirably, the members of the all-female heist squad don’t coo over the bling or the gowns any more than professionally required by their roles in an elaborate, painstakingly-thoughtout charade. In fact, there’s something a little subversive in the approach that the thieves are able to hoodwink their marks largely by exploiting society’s unwoke expectations of what constitutes “female� behavior.

Other than relying on a tight and terrific female cast, nothing in Ocean’s 8 is groundbreakingly original. If you’re a fan of caper movies, you know the drill, and will be expecting plot twists, though you may not necessarily spot where they’ll be coming from. The actual heist, while

deftly executed, doesn’t rely for the most part on the kind of spectacular gymnastics and sleight-of-hand on display in, say, the Now You See Me movies. And the diversionary gambit doesn’t involve any pyrotechnics or natural disasters; it’s a more human-scale plot.

Sarah Paulson’s Tammy, a fence who has retired to suburbia to raise a family while running a black-market operation out of her garage, is an easy recruit for Debbie Ocean (Sandra Bullock), who has dreamed up the scheme while serving a prison sentence for an art fraud engineered by her ex-boyfriend Claude (Richard Armitage). Debbie’s old partnerin-crime Lou (Cate Blanchett) is warier – especially once she’s sure that revenge is part of Debbie’s motivation. How Claude is maneuvered into being blamed for the heist is a big part of the fun, though.

Also joining the team are three talented women of color: Mindy Kaling’s crack jeweler Amita, Rihanna’s brilliant Rasta hacker Nine Ball and rapper Awkwafina as Constance, a street hustler and pickpocket par excellence. While there’s pleasure to be had in the banter amongst this sociologically and psychologically ill-assorted group, it never manifests as the sort of jealous rivalry and catfighting that used to be the mainstay of femaleensemble movies of old. These women are all consummate professionals, and we believe it. So we get to revel in the intellectual puzzle that’s at the heart of a good caper movie.

That’s not to say that Ocean’s 8 doesn’t have its share of preposterous plot holes, such as Rose’s seeming immunity

to suspicion during the insurance investigation that follows the heist, despite the fact that she was the one who insisted on the $150 million necklace making a rare foray from its Cartier vault.

It’s easy enough to let one’s skepticism slide while watching this ensemble work together – above all, Anne Hathaway as Daphne, the seemingly self-absorbed actress whose statuesque neck is set to bear the shiny target into a public space.

There’s an element of self-parody in her performance, and it takes a while before all its layers satisfyingly unfold.

Ultimately, Ocean’s 8 isn’t making overt points about feminism or sisterhood, though those factors certainly help make this group dynamic work. Mostly it’s about the thrill of the scam, and the pride these women take in plying their various skill sets well. The world would be well-advised not to underestimate them. – Frances Marion Platt

Director Debra Granik to screen Leave No Trace at Upstate in Woodstock

I

n collaboration with Upstate Films Woodstock, the Woodstock Film Festival presents a special screening of Leave No Trace on Saturday, June 23 at 8:15 p.m. at Upstate Films’ Woodstock location. Director Debra Granik will be on hand for a question-and-answer session.

Leave No Trace addresses themes of isolation and community as it tells the story of Will and his teenage daughter Tom, who have lived off the grid, blissfully undetected by authorities in a vast nature reserve on the edge of Portland, Oregon. When a chance encounter blows their cover, they’re removed from their camp and put into the charge of social services. Struggling to adapt to their new surroundings, Will and Tom set off on a perilous journey back to the wilderness, where they are finally forced to confront conflicting desires: a longing for community versus a fierce need to live apart.

Debra Granik is best-known as the director and co-writer of Winter’s Bone, Jennifer Lawrence’s breakout film, which was nominated for four Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay, and won the Grand Jury Prize at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival. Tickets for Leave No Trace cost $15. For more information, visit http://woodstockfilmfestival.org.

Baking demo/booksigning with The Fearless Baker’s Erin Jeanne McDowell on Saturday in Kingston If you’ve struggled lifelong and often failed at producing a tasty, pictureperfect piecrust, help is on its way!

This Saturday, June 16, Erin Jeanne McDowell – master of all baked goods, sweet and savory – will be in the kitchen at bluecashew on Front Street in Kingston to demonstrate the easypeasy art of making a lattice-top crust for your favorite summer fruit pie.

She insists that, with a few simple secrets and a little practice, you will learn to cut butter into flour like a pro. You will come away knowing what sort of crust is best for the kind of pie you’re building: gooey fruit or creamy filling or a more solid quiche.

It matters, and understanding a little bit

of the know-how involved in baking helps to quell fears of failure.

McDowell’s new book, The Fearless Baker: Simple Secrets for Baking Like a Pro, addresses everything that can go wrong with baked goods by introducing us to all the right moves: how to parbake a single piecrust, how to choose the right pan, how to roll out chilled dough, why strain custard and so much more.

McDowell trains us in the properties of sugar and eggs that make them so vital to baked goods. She encourages us to learn the basics and then experiment like a master.

“I’ve been working on books for other people for about ten years. My first question was: ‘What can I bring to the table that’s a little different?’ Personally, I’ve been dismayed how a lot of bakers have given us the impression that baking is inflexible. I wanted to do my own book to say, ‘Yes, it’s precise, with science

involved. That doesn’t mean baking is inflexible; it means that, once you know the science, there is a lot of opportunity where you can add your own spin or make a change to a recipe.’”

If you understand why sugar is being used, for example, then you can swap a portion of it out for honey or another sweetener. That’s how professionals – pastry chefs especially – create new concoctions, McDowell says. Her goal was to provide the tips and hints and basic information in an easy-to-digest way.

“Pie is one of my absolute favorite subjects to talk about. At bluecashew, we’re going to show some different lattices and decorative edges.

Text and chat hotline (845) 679-2485 is a text and chat hotline number for area youth and adults. How about you and your family put it into your phones right now?

This confidential service by Family of Woodstock makes it easy to connect with a paid or volunteer staff member to get support around issues involving drug abuse, domestic violence, bullying and other issues involving personal safety, mental health services, housing (or shelter), concerns about the well-being of loved ones, crisis situations, education and questions about resources in the Ulster County community. Prefer to chat from a web browser? Contact textmeback.org. If calling remains your first choice, it’s the same number as the text hotline: (845) 679-2485.

I implore you to share this information widely, starting by entering it in your and your youth’s phones together. These communications remain free, private and confidential, as they have for the past 48 years at Family; Family’s was the first hotline in the country! In 2017, Family had over 80,000 contacts at its Woodstock site alone.

Times have changed, and as people increasingly connect via text, Family has adapted to remain accessible to people who might be reluctant to share their situations out loud. Another advantage to texting or chatting is the time in between responses for thoughtfulness and deliberation, which can reduce anxiety simply from the slower pacing.

Again, please do not wait; let’s all enter this information in our phones and computers right now: Family of Woodstock’s textmeback.org text and chat hotline; or text or call (845) 6792485. For more information, visit www. familyofwoodstockinc.org/textmeback.

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

Hold the pesto For this gardener, space allocated for garlic- growing is space wasted

N

ote: The following editorial comments represent the opinions of the writer and do not necessarily represent the opinions of the publisher.

I don’t understand the current – decades-long, now – infatuation with the “stinking rose,” as garlic used to be called. Not to reveal my age, but I don’t remember ever seeing, smelling or tasting garlic in my youth. Not that I didn’t; I just don’t remember it if I did. At any rate, in my family circle, at least, it would not have generated the undue enthusiasm it does these days – whole festivals, for instance!

I don’t dislike garlic. Mostly, when I’ve used it, its flavor is lost when cooked – except when roasting turns the texture satiny and the flavor biteless; then it’s quite delicious spread on bread or baked potato, or mixed with vegetables. Mmmmm.

But still not worth planting. It’s my belief that many gardeners devote all too much space to growing garlic. Is homegrown garlic really that tasty – tastier than what you can pick off a supermarket shelf or from a bin at the farmers’ market?

I’ve seen very small vegetable gardens in which a third of the area was devoted to the stinking rose. For my money, I’d rather be picking fresh lettuce, asparagus or peas – all of which taste significantly different (and better) within minutes of harvest than when bought from any market, farm or otherwise. Or peppers, tomatoes, sweet corn or green beans, because I can choose the best-tasting (to me) varieties to plant in my garden.

As you might guess, I don’t grow garlic – not in my vegetable garden, at least. Why devote even a square foot of space in that compost-rich, drip-irrigated, sundrenched ground to such a thankless vegetable?

I do sometimes grow garlic in various patches of open ground in the large patch of gooseberries, grapes and a miscellany of other plants behind my garden. The only improvement that soil experiences is annual mulching with autumn leaves, which has enriched the ground below with humus – but no irrigation, which the garlic, planted in early autumn and then harvested the following summer, hardly needs, because it can run on rainfall that falls in autumn through spring.

Garlic doesn’t seem to get the hint that I don’t particularly want to grow it. Enough bulbils that form at the tops of scapes touch down each year to make new garlic plants.

Most are spindly, giving rise to Lilliputian cloves. But if I want some garlic flavor in spring, I can pull stalks out of the ground, peel off the outer cover of leaf sheath and chop up the ivory-white lower portion for use. Many I just pull out and toss into the

Sammy, foiled by Lee’s new electric fence.

compost pile; the garlic is getting weedy.

Okay, you garlic-lovers, go ahead and pelt me with tomatoes. But hold the garlic.

My dog Sammy has grown very fond of stalks – asparagus stalks. Why can’t he channel that stalky affection to the garlic sprouting behind my garden? Perhaps some culinary magic with garlic poured over his dog food and guided walks over to some of the growing clumps could bring him around.

I planted asparagus outside the fenced vegetable garden with the knowledge (ha!) that no furry animals would dine on it. Sammy has plowed his way through or gracefully leapt over the temporary chickenwire enclosure meant to keep him asparagus-free. A recently purchased electric fence should keep him at bay – also from the persimmons, another of his favorites, later in summer.

On a more serious note: Now, with recent rains maintaining good soil moisture, is an ideal time to mulch. Earlier this season, mulch would also have been good, except that it would have delayed soil-warming and hence seed-germination, planting and growth of annual vegetables and flowers.

Mulch spread atop dry soil has to be wetted before letting water percolate down into the ground below. If spreading mulch is delayed until the soil turns dry, all the more water will be required to give the soil below a good drenching.

A large pile of wood chips sits on the far side of my woodpile, compliments of local arborists. Day by day, I’m spreading it for an attractive, soil-enriching, moisture-sealing blanket over my soil – even around my volunteer garlic plants.

NIGHT SKY

A dramatic shift to the left A focus on the strange Evening Star

E

veryone has noticed it: It’s Venus, the Evening Star. The past couple of months, it’s that brilliant “star” in the northwest the first few hours after sunset. It’s not high up, but it’s not too low either, so it’s not readily blocked by houses and hills. It’s brighter than any star, and simply dazzling.

It’s also in a strange place. Venus has been visiting the most northerly part of the zodiac – Taurus and now Gemini – which places it strikingly to the right of where the Sun set. But keep watching it.

During the next three months, from now through September, it will visibly shift to the left. Each evening at nightfall, it will still hover at about the same height. But it will continually migrate south, or leftward, as it marches through the zodiac through Cancer, Leo, Virgo and into Libra. You’ll readily see the change through your windows around dinnertime. It will also have periodic adventures that will be fun to watch. It will continually get brighter, too – much brighter, until by late summer it will be dazzling enough to cast shadows on white surfaces for observers away from cities and other artificial lights.

Venus is a strange planet. It has the slowest rotation of any object in the known universe. Its equator spins at just four miles an hour. And it’s the hottest planet, with a day-and-night temperature that never budges, but remains stuck at 850 degrees. At least it’s a dry heat. But no, there’s another discomfort there, too: Its air pressure is 90 times greater than ours, which means 50 times more pressurized than a pressure cooker.

So we’ ll never land there. It’s physically a nightmare. But looking at it, as its clouds made of sulfuric acid droplets brilliantly reflect sunlight, is another

ALMANAC WEEKLY

June 14, 2018

ERICA'S CANCER JOURNEY

“Head On and Heart Strong”

I

am honored to have been invited to speak at the WMC Health Alliance National Cancer Survivors Day 2018 celebration in Kingston. Since last week’s heart effusion cancer curveball landed me in the hospital and prevented me from attending, some friends from my support group read my words for me. Thank you, Robin, Tom, Jim and Benji!

Welcome! My name is Erica, and I am on a jourDION OGUST | ALMANAC WEEKLY ney of Stage IV breast cancer.

Let’s see who is here tonight with a show of hands: Who has cancer right now? Who has had cancer in the past? Who has been touched by cancer in other ways?

I find that cancer asks a great deal of me, and gives a great deal to me. Can any of you relate to that experience? Hmmmm, maybe one more than the other? Does it take more than it gives?

Maybe we can go a little deeper: Is cancer a “head” experience or a “heart” experience? Let’s explore.

As you see on the tables, you are invited to fill in some words about your cancer journey that begin with the following letters: C...A...N...C...E...R. Now, here’s what I came up for the letter C: Celebration.

I am celebrating Cancer Survivors’ Day! Being here right now, connecting with you – something I would have otherwise taken completely for granted before cancer. I celebrate the love I feel from others who are more open with me about their feelings. I celebrate the healing approaches that help slow down my cancer, or give me moments of relief. I celebrate my friends’ remissions, or release from pain. A happy scan, a successful blood draw. A birthday or other meaningful experience I was fortunate to witness or attend.

Now, how about the letter A? Adaptation.

We roll with the punches. We get knocked down and get up again. Who here has had a Plan A? And...then suddenly a Plan B? From crazy timing of tests at the hospital (“I thought it was at 9 o’clock?”) to surprise side effects (“Why am I so tired…Zzzzzzzz…”).

Beethoven wrote, “Yet it was impossible for me to say to people, ‘Speak louder, shout, for I am deaf.’ Oh, how could I possibly admit an infirmity in the one sense which ought to be more perfect in me than others, a sense which I once possessed in the highest perfection, a perfection such as few in my profession enjoy or ever have enjoyed?”

We are learning how to use canes, catheter bags, wheelchairs, drains.

Even in the beginning, did anyone here honestly expect a cancer diagnosis in yourself or a loved one? To actually touch your life so directly? We are living and evolving; we are constantly adapting to our circumstances. Sometimes numbers go up (no bueno), sometimes they go down (yay!).

One way I handle not-so-good test results is a silly competition with my friends in my support group. I compete with my prostate cancer friends for Who Has the Highest Number, which makes me laugh just to think about – a fun way to deal with the hard realities of my experience. We are constantly adjusting our worldview of reality to the current, often constantly changing state of our bodies.

Let’s look at the letter N: Navigation.

Who here has spent some time online searching for information as you make treatment choices? Me too. Has anyone else here received very pushy input about how to heal your cancer? Have you had to navigate childcare, eldercare, pet care, insurance, meds, doctors, additional opinions, loss of certain abilities? I can no longer drive, and it’s brutal.

How about just navigating waking up: What kind of day am I up to having? We are constantly making maps for things that either never existed for us before, or need to be handled differently.

C.S. Lewis says, “The future is something which everyone reaches at the rate of 60 minutes an hour, whatever they do, whoever they are.” So, what is our True North our maps are based on as we navigate our future? Self? Spirit? Head? Heart?

The more problems I negotiate, the more trust I have in myself. We are a strong people, handling so much change every day.

Another letter C: I have chosen…Communication.

How do we connect with others during this cancer chapter? I am constantly in conversation with medical personnel, insurance, support groups, Internet forums, family and my community. I choose what to share, and what to hold privately.

What are some of your letter C words? [1-2-3 volunteers] Yes, we seem to have lots of words to describe life with cancer. Thank you.

For the letter E, I choose Exclamation, as in exclamation point: things I feel strongly about.

I have completely gotten away from encouraging anyone I know (or don’t know!) from pursuing a particular style of healing treatment. I used to send stories and “articles” about autism to my friends with children on the spectrum, never having asked them specifics about their situation. I no longer do that, and am offended when others do the same thing with me around cancer. I never knew enough about that person’s situation, let alone about autism itself. No one knows my situation as well as I do. I need your support, not your advice.

Have you ever done that: helped someone in a way that was intended to be helpful but really out of your lane? Or been on the receiving end of it? How do you feel during or after those exchanges?

Exclamation can also be our push to do something we’ve never done before. “Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement,” according to Golda Meir.

What are some E words that touch you in your oncological explorations? [1-2-3 volunteers] We feel strongly about many things! Thank you.

R leads me to a special, and our final, word: Revelation.

Revelation is defined as a surprising and previously unknown fact, especially one that is made known in a dramatic way. “Head.”

Revelation is also defined as the divine or supernatural disclosure to humans of something relating to human existence or the world. “Heart.” I have experienced both along my cancer journey.

Head: I learned that cancer is engineered to colonize. It’s not personal. It’s just what it does – kind of like humans.

Heart: I received a direct message from my spirit guides that I Did Not Cause My Cancer. And that was that. I wasn’t in a meditative state; I was getting dressed. The awareness just arrived through grace.

Revelation is the last book of the bible: Apostle John’s reflections in the doorway of things to come. Alan Alda says, “Doorways are where the truth is told.” At some point, we all find ourselves in the doorway from this earthly plane to the next. Some of us are closer than others.

“May all that has been reduced to noise in you become music again.” This place, this right here, this right now: What a rich place to discover, wonder, receive new insights and perspectives; to access ancient wisdom, fresh awakenings; to release burdens we need no longer carry.

The gifts of new ideas and new understandings since diagnosis: Revelation. Revelationssssssss.

I invite you to reflect on the Revelations you have experienced in your own cancer journey, including as a support or advocate for others, through...

Celebration Adaptation Navigation Communication Exclamation Revelation.

We are survivors; we are Head On and Heart Strong!

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.

Animals

FOR ADOPTION: Danny Boy is a handsome Gray Cat Boy w/the softest fur ever!

He’s neutered, up to date w/shots and litter pan trained. The vet estimates Danny Boy’s age as under 2-years. And did I mention: Danny Boy is one of the sweetest, most trusting cats you could ever hope to meet? If you’re interested in meeting him at his foster home in Shokan, please email DRJLPK@ aol.com or text/call (917)282-2018. If you’d like a return call, please leave your full name, phone number w/area code and best time to reach you.

“CINNAMON”; SWEET ORANGE/TAN SENIOR CAT BOY has had a rough few months. First, his caregiver passed away.

Then, when a family member took Cinnamon, the dogs and cat already in the house didn’t welcome him & he was relegated to the laundry room. Now, he’s at SAS, waiting for a person or people to love him and let him know he is valued and special. He’s almost 11-years old. “MEGHAN”; GORGEOUS LONG HAIR CALICO is a beautiful 1-year old cat girl. She was found in a feral colony (community cats) and clearly didn’t belong. She is now safe and secure at SAS. She’s a quiet girl who needs to know she will never be outside to fend for herself again.“HARRY”; CALM CAT BOY, WHITE W/GRAY TABBY MARKINGS, along w/two other 1-year old cats, was left in an apartment. The family moved and just left them. It’s hard to believe that anyone would do that. Harry is on the thin side. Either he wasn’t given enough food or the other two cats ate most of the food.

Make life right for Harry by adopting him and giving him good food, love and kindness for the rest of his life. These wonderful cats are ready to be adopted to loving homes. They have been spayed/neutered, are up to date with shots and are litter pan trained. Cinnamon, Meghan, Harry and other Cats and Dogs at the shelter need loving homes. Visit and see if you meet the newest member of your family!

SAUGERTIES ANIMAL SHELTER, 1765 NY Route 212, Saugerties, NY. (845)6790339.

Want to help but can’t adopt a cat? Don’t forget about our Foster Program! Visit our website UCSPCA.org, for details & pictures of cats to foster.
