Dragon Boat Race & Festival on Saturday in Poughkeepsie

Habitat for Humanity of Dutchess will host the 2018 Dragon Boat Race & Festival on Saturday, July 21 at the Hudson River Rowing Association in Poughkeepsie. The race will be accompanied by a festival, featuring food, live music and games.

Dragon boats are long, shallow, open watercraft, their prows and sterns decorated on race days with colorful, detachable dragon heads and tails. They are propelled by seated, paired teams of paddlers who stroke to the beat of a drum.

The drummer sits in the bow and faces backwards. The winning boat is the one whose crew succeeds in pulling a flag from a buoy at the end of the racecourse, whose length is most commonly 500 meters. So accuracy of steering is as important as speed in a dragon boat race, and strict synchrony more crucial than brawn.

These races go back 25 centuries or more, originating in an annual religious festival associated with the Summer Solstice called Duanwu, meaning the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. It was the time of year for planting the summer rice crop in south central China, and if you wanted adequate rainfall for a good crop, you needed to venerate the dragons properly. In that culture, dragons weren’t scary adversaries like in Western lore, but rather beneficent deities associated with bodies of water, clouds, mist and rain.

Nowadays, these events are a combination of serious athletic competition and community-building experience. Hong Kong has hosted the main international dragon boat racing convocation annually since the modern era of the sport began in 1976. “Dragon fever” has since spread around the world,

HUTTON BRICKYARDS

The first Hutton Fare will take place at the Hutton Brickyards in Kingston on July 21-22. It will feature musical performances

by Simi Stone, Yard Sale and the Bailmen; Upstate Jamboree’s unique games; and food, drink and retail vendors from the Hudson Valley.

EVENT

Hutton Fare opens this weekend at Brickyards in Kingston

H

utton Fare opens this weekend, July 21 and 22, with local vendors offering food, beverages and goods produced in the Hudson Valley. It’s scheduled to return one weekend each month until the end of October. “Hutton Fare has been developed in the spirit of bringing people together around the best food and drink the Hudson Valley has to offer,” said Karl Slovin, CEO of MWest Holdings, owner of Hutton Brickyards.

The company has upgraded the former industrial site, doubling the number of parking spaces to provide 1,000 spots, expanded rest-rooms, and added permanent bars, five dressing rooms, office space and a prep kitchen. They’ve also done some landscaping to “green up and soften” the look of the site, added Slovin.

A sampling of vendors includes the Grille Wagon, Ono Grinds Poke, Grounded, Oyster Party, Rosie’s Empanadas, Nancy’s of Woodstock, Jane’s Ice Cream, the Bordland House, Crepe Escape, Buns Burgers, Marylin’s Food Co., Muffle Bar, Farmstock, Eemas Cuisine, Oliver Kita, Bee Hollow Farm, Toma, Catskill Provisions and Tin Can Juicery. In addition to foods and beverages, you’ll be able to shop for jewelry, clothing, furniture and housewares, as well as play Japanese billiards, arches, dice, cornhole, ricochet and other activities in the games pavilion.

Woodstock musician Simi Stone (taking time off from touring with David Byrne) will perform this Saturday afternoon. Yard Sale and the Bailmen are also slated to perform this weekend. Hutton Fare will be open as well on August 18/19, September 15/16 and October 20/21.

– Ann Hutton Hutton Fare, Saturday, July 21, 11 a.m.-7 p.m., Sunday, July 22, 11 a.m.-6 p.m., $5, Hutton Brickyards, 200 North Street, Kingston; (845) 213-4742, www.huttonbrickyards.com.

Talk on Kalamazoo oil spill this Friday at Cary Institute in Millbrook

In another in its long line of indepth and free discussions of serious social and environmental issues, the Cary Institute in Millbrook presents a lecture by Steve Hamilton titled “The Biggest Oil Spill You’ve Never Heard of ” on Friday, July 20 at 7 p.m. The visiting scientist at the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies and a professor at Michigan State’s Kellogg Biological

Station will discuss a pipeline that ruptured near Michigan’s Kalamazoo River in 2010, causing one of the largest inland oil spills in US history. Over a million gallons of diluted bitume or tar sands entered the river, inciting a cleanup effort that lasted more than five years. Beyond ecosystem impacts on water quality and wildlife, tar sands spills release chemicals into the air and water that are harmful to human health.

For more information, visit www. caryinstitute.org. The Cary Institute is located at 2801 Sharon Turnpike (Route 44) in Millbrook.

ROSENDALE STREET FEST

What began 40 years ago as Uncle Willy’s birthday party has grown into a two-day, 100-band extravaganza

R

osendale likes to tout itself as the Festival Town, committed to a packed agenda of public events celebrating everything from Beltane, pickles, vintage cars and environmental sustainability to mountain biking, independent

cinema, chili and zombies. There are several annual music festivals, including Rosendale Rocks the River, but the granddaddy of them all is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year: the two-day, eight-stage Rosendale Street Festival, which returns this Saturday and Sun-

day, July 21 and 22, with more than 100 bands participating at last count.

Although in its earliest incarnation in the late ’70s and ’80s, the Festival strove to bring in national “name” acts, the new improved version – reinstated after a multiyear hiatus in the ’90s – has an avowed mission “to help support and expose people to the local music of our region.” The Festival takes that focus seriously, spotlighting the wealth of talent in our vicinity, playing music in practically every genre imaginable.

You’ll likely recognize at least a few of

the names on deck for this weekend, Los Doggies, Amy Fradon, Kurt Henry, Pitchfork Militia, David Kraai and Yard Sale among them. Lara Hope and the ArkTones are the featured mainstage closing act on Saturday night, and the Canal Lock Stage at the west end of town is the place to find awesome kid-rock bands like Dog on Fleas and Ratboy, Jr. A craft tent with ongoing hands-on activities for littl’uns will be set up right next door.

MUSIC Joppenbergh Mountain and the Rondout Creek. The stages are set far enough apart for the sound not to bleed over noticeably, but close enough together that you can wander from end to end to catch whatever act tickles your fancy without getting footsore. New this year will be a stage at the Red Brick Tavern. In between you’ll find lots else to do, checking out street vendors, joining a drum circle, quaffing a pint at a beer garden or munching a tasty walkable snack. A cool retreat right in the midst of the action is the Rosendale Theatre, whose stage will host both live theatrical performances and screenings of short films made by local youth.

Main Street Rosendale (Route 213) closes to automobile traffic from 10:30 a.m. both days. The music starts at 12 noon and continues until 9 p.m. on Saturday and 7 p.m. on Sunday. Admission to the Rosendale Street Festival is free, but donations are encouraged ($5 per person suggested) to help keep the event going from year to year.

While parking is in short supply within walking distance of the festival, UCAT shuttle buses run continuously to the site from parking lots at the Bloomington Firehouse, the former Tillson School, the Brookside School, the Rondout Municipal Center and the Iron Mountain Kiln lot.

Bicycle racks are provided at either end of Main Street, for those who wish to arrive via the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail.

t is good to see the always-lively and diverse lineup of local talent and culture called the Rosendale Street Festival (RSF). A two-day event that situates more than 100 performers on no fewer than eight stages, the Street Festival has always been the most balanced view on the mid-Hudson Valley’s natural talent resources. With more than 100 vendors, there’s plenty to look at and buy when wandering between stages.

To mention some acts is to slight the rest (many friends included), but what is a local journalist to do? Some highlights for me: The celebrated New Paltz indie/ prog trio Los Doggies have an excellent new record out and, knowing these tricksters, they will probably play nothing from it and feature the songs from their next record instead (Creekside Stage, Saturday, 2 p.m.). In a related vein, Sal Cataldi’s cinematic guitar instrumentals, as Spaghetti Eastern, reference Morricone

ROCK ‘N’ ROLL’S GOLDEN PAIR OF EARS AT UPAC ON SUNDAY

T

he thought of a late-career revival for Brian Wilson at one time seemed so unlikely that when his first live dates in forever were announced, many suspected some kind of theatrical implementation of a futuristic CGI technology. The Beach Boys’ musical mastermind performed under what seemed to be highly supervised conditions, often with his arms at his side as he sat at his keyboard, witnessing more than leading.

Now it is just old news that Brian Wilson is back, reclaiming what is inarguably his and applying rock ‘n’ roll’s most golden pair of ears both to new music and to the hands-on management of his singular legacy. In the current decade alone, Wilson has reimagined Gershwin (2010), surveyed the songs of Disney (2011), reunited with the Beach Boys for 2012’s That’s Why God Made the Radio and released an exquisite live record of his own classics (2014’s Brian Wilson and Friends). To prove that this is no mere curatorial renaissance, Wilson also dropped a collection of new co-written songs, 2015’s part-bizarre and part-delightful Pier Pressure.

The King is back, sure enough, owning his music and demonstrating beyond dispute that the well is hardly dry. We all know the narrative, from mega-fame through many years of fractious disputes, tragic deaths and numerous episodes of plain old classic weird. All that melts away once the music starts to play and Brian Wilson commands harmony and melody, unerring pop instincts and experimental courage, like no one else in the history of pop music.

The Bardavon presents Brian Wilson – with special guests and old friends Al Jardine and Blondie Chapin – giving final performances of Pet Sounds at the Ulster Performing Arts Center (UPAC) on Sunday, July 22 at 7 p.m. Ticket prices range from $65 to $139, with a $5 discount for members. Purchase tickets 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.

Once known as Winterhawk and held in Ancramdale in Columbia County, the Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival had already established a solid reputation as one of the best summer gatherings of its musical genre in the country by the time it relocated to Oak Hill in Greene County in 2008. It’s barely

a stretch to say that all the giants of bluegrass, newgrass and old-timey country music still living since its 1984 founding have graced its stages.

Fans come back year after year after year, as much to camp out and engage in informal picking sessions as to listen to the headline talents.

Longtime attendees will rejoice to know that this summer’s festival will feature a 40th anniversary celebration for the band Hot Rize. This all-star ensemble went mostly quiescent in the 1990s, though its members keep visibly busy in other configurations. But on the weekend of July 19 to 22, Tim O’Brien, Bill Wernick, Nick Forster and Bryan Sutton will be back. Bonus: Hot Rize’s goofy instrumentswapped alter egos, the Western swing band Red Knuckles & the Trailblazers, will also make a return appearance, not-socoincidentally.

Grey Fox 2018 will be hosted, as ever, by the Dry Branch Fire Squad. Also scheduled to perform are the Del McCoury Band,

Julie O’Connor Bob Berman, Debra Bresnan, John Burdick, Erica Chase-Salerno, Will Dendis, Sharyn Flanagan, Leslie Gerber, Richard Heppner, Mikhail Horowitz, Jeremiah Horrigan, Ann Hutton, Dion Ogust, Frances Marion Platt, Lee Reich, Lynn Woods, Carol Zaloom Donna Keefe Tobi Watson, Amy Murphy, Dale Geffner

In Evans’ case, that bassist was his musical soulmate Scott LaFaro, who died at the age of 26 early in Evans’ career as leader. In Ingram’s case, the symbiosis happens with bassist Drew Gress, a veteran of John Abercrombie and Ravi Coltrane’s ensembles and a composer/leader in his own right. Ingram and Gress perform at (where else?) the Falcon on Sunday, July 22 at 8 p.m.

Bermuda Triangle, with Alabama Shakes’ Brittany Howard, plays Colony on Wednesday MUSIC

Kim Gordon’s Body/Head plays BSP in Kingston on Friday

The new Americana supergroup Bermuda Triangle features Brittany Howard of Alabama Shakes, along with Becce Mancari and Jesse Lafser.

On the three singles that they have released to date, the trio plays a spare, guitar-driven folk with electrobeats and lush harmonies.

Bermuda Triangle performs at Colony in Woodstock on Wednesday, July 25.

Also on the bill are the luminous ambient roots band Widowspeak. Tickets cost $35 in advance, $40 on the day of the show.

For tickets and additional information, visit www.colonywoodstock.com. Colony is located at 22 Rock City Road in Woodstock.

W

ith her first consistent post-Sonic Youth project, Kim Gordon certainly did not make a beeline toward pop and the big payday. Body/Head – her somewhat unsettling collaboration with guitarist Bob Nace – is, if anything, more abstract and less congenial than most anything Sonic Youth ever recorded. Body/Head performs and records as a drumless duo, foregrounding Nace’s noisy and non-idiomatic guitar and the gutsy, provocative vocal urgency that has always been Gordon’s calling card. The hidden charms – a fragment of shapely melody here, an irresistibly goofy guitar sound there – do make themselves known on occasion in Body/Head’s long-form compositions/ improvisations; but mostly this is straight-up, serious New York guitar abuse in the Branca tradition, coupled with Gordon’s sonically occluded, viscerally propelled poetry. If you like it, you’re really gonna like it.

Body/Head performs at BSP’s back-room theater on Friday, July 20 at 7:30 p.m., a mere week after the release of their new Matador Records full-length The Switch. Another considerably more serene art duo opens: that of the popular Brooklyn guitarist Steve Gunn and drummer John Truscinski. Tickets to this 16+ show cost $20. Tickets are available locally (cash only) at Outdated and Rocket Number 9 in Kingston, Jack’s Rhythms in New Paltz, Darkside Records in Poughkeepsie, the Woodstock Music Shop and online at http://bspkingston.com. BSP is located at 232 Wall Street in Kingston. The entrance for back-room shows is via Crown Street.

Mercury rising “Indicators: Artists on Climate Change” at Storm King Art Center

T

he topic of climate-change impact seems one particularly apt to contemplate in the bucolic 500-acre environs of the Storm King Art Center in New Windsor, an outdoor sculpture park that sites works of sculpture by major artists amidst a splendidly groomed Hudson Valley landscape. Works included in this season’s special exhibition, “Indicators: Artists on Climate Change,” explore the impacts of the changing climate in ways that incorporate scientific, cultural and aesthetic perspectives, illuminating the menace of a changing climate to our biological world and to humanity.

“Indicators: Artists on Climate Change” is co-curated by Nora Lawrence and Storm King Art Center director and curator David Collens, along with curatorial assistant Sarah Diver. The three worked closely with more than a dozen participating artists to develop their ideas for the site.

Many of the artists created new, sitespecific works that use the Art Center’s unique landscape and location. Permanent works on the grounds were not moved to accommodate the new installations; but, with the breadth of land available, there was plenty of space to give each work room to breathe. The artists represented in the show are David Brooks, Hara Woltz, Mark Dion, Ellie Ga, Justin Brice Guariglia, Allison Janae Hamilton, Jenny Kendler, Maya Lin, Mary Mattingly, Mike Nelson, Steve Rowell, Gabriela Salazar, Tavares Strachan, Meg Webster and the Dear Climate collective.

Justin Brice Guariglia’s We Are the Asteroid, 2018

Each artist works with different media, but all offer a conceptual take on climate change. For his newly created Permanent Field Observations, artist David Brooks identified several natural elements found throughout Storm King’s peripheral wooded areas to cast in bronze: rotting tree stumps, tangles of roots, acorns perched atop emerging rocks and other naturally occurring minutiae. He installed the bronze renditions back in their original locations next to the objects from which they were cast, where they will remain permanently affixed in place, like fossils detailing this climate moment for

future generations. A map on view in the museum building gallery plots the precise locations of the fossilized field observations, which visitors can use to perform their own search for the objects.

B r o o k l y n - b a s e d a r t i s t Ma r y Mattingly highlights sustainability in her contribution to the exhibit. Last summer she created Swale, a floating food barge that toured around New York City allowing visitors to harvest fresh produce at no charge, and this summer her installation at Storm King will feature palm trees brought in from a tropical climate to call attention to the way that

changing temperatures may affect the future of food. In altering the landscape of the Hudson Valley, the idea is to spark conversation about real strategies for how people will live in an altered climate.

Allison Janae Hamilton’s The peo-ple cried mer-cy in the storm is made up of a towering stack of tambourines on an island in one of Storm King’s ponds.

The installation was inspired by “Florida Storm,” a 1928 hymn about the Great Miami Hurricane of 1926, and by accounts of the 1928 Okeechobee Hurricane, referenced in Zora Neale Hurston’s Their Eyes Were Watching God. Both

STORM KING, ARMY RESEARCH LABORATORY & GETTY CONSERVATION INSTITUTE DEVELOP NEW PAINTS FOR OUTDOOR SCULPTURES

W

hen we view paintings in a museum, we tend not to think about any conservation efforts that might have been applied to the work. And unless the work is very old or has been mistreated, chances are that not much has been done to it beyond, perhaps, some cleaning. But the reality of outdoor painted sculpture is quite different. Because of the environmental wear-and-tear to which such works are exposed, frequent conservation treatments are required – often involving a full repainting of the sculpture, preceded by a complete removal of all prior coats of paint to ensure proper adhesion of the replacement coating. The works of art that we enjoy outside may have been repainted many times over by the time we see them.

The challenges of conserving works by well-known artists such as Alexander Calder and Louise Nevelson include applying a finish consistent with that which was originally applied, remaining true to the original intention of the artist.

Nevelson, for example, was known for using a chalky matte-black paint on her assemblage works; the way that particular finish picks up light is a crucial element in the overall visual aesthetic of her work. Any visible gloss on a replacement finish would only highlight the fact that the work had been altered and change its effect on the viewer.

The Storm King Art Center is home to several painted steel works by Nevelson and Calder, as well as sculptures by David Smith, Mark di Suvero and others with painted finishes that require frequent upkeep. The matte paints favored by most of these artists are particularly problematic in that they contain a minimal amount of resin, but a lot of pigment and flattening agents, making the paint more vulnerable to degradation and fading than glossy paints. Conservators at Storm King and other major museums are now working with the Getty Conservation Institute and the Army Research Laboratory to conserve outdoor painted sculptures in a manner consistent with their origins and as long-lasting as possible, using matte paints first developed for use in camouflage situations.

The conservation partnership between major museums and the Army Research Laboratory (ARL) started in the early 2000s, when conservator Abigail Mack, then working with the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC, called the US Army to see if the museum could use its weatherometer machine, which provides an accelerated simulation of years of environmental degradation caused

by UV rays, wind and precipitation. Mack thought that the device would be helpful to test commercially available paint samples that the National Gallery was considering for repainting outdoor sculpture. She was put in touch with Army chemist John Escarsega, who developed camouflage paint for military vehicles and also happened to have an interest in art.

Escarsega offered to help in creating an entirely new paint system for the works at the National Gallery. After Mack left to start a private practice, she continued working on the paints with Escarsega and the Army, along with the Calder Foundation and a paint factory, soon adding the Getty Conservation Institute (GCI) into the mix, running a project under its purview that develops new paints and does tests on sculpture, as well as educating conservators about industrial techniques.

The new paints that have been created are more cost-effective and, just as important, more environmentally sound. The GCI and ARL’s newest partner in the paint project is the Storm King Art Center, working on a very specific “Nevelson black” paint. At some point, the paint may even be available commercially.

storms devastated the state of Florida, the latter killing thousands of black migrant workers who were buried in unmarked mass graves. The work contemplates how climate-related disasters can expose existing social inequities and how affected communities contend with this twofold devastation.

Natural Resources Defense Council. She drew inspiration for her site-specific commission, Birds Watching, from local species of birds in the Hudson Valley. The installation of reflective aluminum signs depicting massively scaled, realistic bird’s eyes, representing the 50 to 100 species of native birds facing the threat of extinction due to climate change, emphasizes ideas of reflectivity and reciprocal vision,

reminding us that birds are also sentient beings capable of looking back at us.

The Storm King Art Center is also presenting the sixth iteration of its “Outlooks” series this summer, which invites an emerging or mid-career artist to create a new site-specific work to be installed on the grounds for a single season. The Canadian artist Elaine Cameron-Weir’s Globe of Death, inspired by the large spherical structure used in motorcycle circus stunt performances, will remain on view through November 25. At 20 feet in diameter, the steel sphere is designed to resemble various real and imagined structures of the present and extrapolated future, such as radio transmission towers, satellites and other large-scale devices related to space exploration and scientific inquiry.

Located within Storm King’s South Fields, the sphere cannot be entered, and will be accompanied by a small militarystyle shelter like one from which a soldier might keep watch. Both the sphere and the shelter were designed to accommodate a human presence precisely. Each element closely pairs its somewhat provisional, utilitarian aesthetic with its implied function, while both, displayed in the context of Storm King’s collection, ask to be seen for their visual similarity to large-scale abstract sculpture. The title

of the work is A toothless grin. A STAR EXPANSION! GLOBE OF DEATH A graveyard orbit.

It’s fascinating to step into an artist’s workplace and imagine that the very air they breathe somehow ignites creativity. There’s something about a paint-spattered floor or broad worktables covered with materials or light streaming onto canvases in progress or the smell of clay – you wish you’d had more fun and freedom in high school art classes, and you think about buying a set of watercolors and some nice paper.

The Shandaken Art Studio Tour gives the opportunity to breathe that air, if only for a short while. The weekend-long open house at local artists’ workspaces will kick off on Friday evening with Art pARTy, hosted by the Woodstock Brewery and Bite Me Bakery Café at Phoenicia Plaza on Route 28. Talk with the participating artists and pick up your free guidebook with maps to more than 30 studios, exhibitions, events and parties. The free opening festivities run from 6 to 9 p.m.

Beer is available for purchase.

With studios and exhibit venues open on Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., the self-guided tour will take you all over the Town of Shandaken from Boiceville to Belleayre. And to get a sense of what sort of work is produced by each artist, check out the image gallery on www. shandakenart.com.

Maverick festival picnic in the 1920s.

The Woodstock way Playhouse to host multimedia celebration of Woodstock history

Opening season at the Maverick hall in 1916

N

either a town nor its denizens becomes eccentric overnight. Woodstock has been working on the task for over a century. It’s an endless tug-of-war that Woodstockers wage – even more so in the digital age – but someone, everyone, needs to do it. On Thursday evening, July 26 at 8 p.m., local prod u c e r /d i r e c t o r and documentary filmmaker Stephen Blauweiss will host a multimedia event at the Woodstock Playhouse that will give some sense of the value of what is always endangered.

I think that the fine balance between authority and defiance is the reason that Woodstock, warts and all, continues to survive as an outpost of free expression while other artistic locales have over time been ground down to stops on the tourist trails.

In Woodstock, laws are the tentpoles that the community has erected to shelter its dissidents. The laws exist; they are always respected and they are often ignored.

Woodstock’s a town where authority accords self-expression extraordinary (though not unlimited) tolerance.

Though Alf Evers’ monumental history of Woodstock reminded us that the nighttime B o h e m i a n glassblowers of the early 19 th century were the first real artists of the picturesque Catskills farming town, the most significant artistic influx came after the arrival of the immensely wealthy Ralph Radcliffe Whitehead in the first years of the 20th century.

It was not Whitehead’s creation of an earnest and generally law-abiding Arts and Crafts colony at Byrdcliffe that inoculated Woodstock from philistinism,

Woodstock’s a town where authority accords self-expression extraordinary (though not unlimited) tolerance.

Revelers

but the secession of Hervey White, who formed his own much-less-constrained community at the Maverick.

To finance it, White held annual festivals – Woodstock festivals. One of the photographs on this page shows a staid and uncomfortable row of shirted listeners at a chamber concert in 1916, the inaugural year of the iconic “music shed in the woods.” The other two photos give an idea of what a typical Maverick picnic and party were like.

The multimedia celebration on July 26 at the Woodstock Playhouse will feature five original short films, including one

about the Maverick, and short films featuring local artists. Blauweiss’ third annual celebration of Woodstock history will host storytelling and live musical performances in a variety of genres.

Tickets cost $25 general admission and $5 for students. For information, call Blauweiss Films at (845) 339-7834. For tickets, call the Woodstock Playhouse at (845) 679-6900. Maverick ticket books are not eligible for this event.

HISTORY House detectives The Society for the Preservation of Hudson Valley Vernacular Architecture welcomes new members

T

he words “Hudson Valley architecture” usually inspire images of the grand architectdesigned mansions built for the wealthy along the Hudson River in the 19th century. But go back two centuries prior to that, to the homes built by the Dutch who settled the region in the 17th century, and we find Hudson Valley architecture more modest, but just as characteristic of the region.

Vernacular architecture – the common way of building – is based on needs and preferences as well as the local construction materials available. In the case of the Dutch who settled the Hudson Valley, they brought with them the traditional building practices and preferences of the Netherlands, but adapted the designs of their homes in the New World to the materials available locally and the demands of their new environment. Even so, the houses and other structures they built reflected a distinctly Dutch character.

The Society for the Preservation of Hudson Valley Vernacular Architecture (HVVA) documents and preserves the area’s Dutch-American architectural heritage. According to Walter Wheeler, the group’s president, the not-for-profit, volunteer-run organization has its roots in the mid-Hudson chapter of the Dutch Barn Preservation Society. The purpose of branching off as the HVVA – established in 1998 by Peter Sinclair, a longtime enthusiast of folk arts and vernacular architecture – was to expand research efforts beyond the Dutch barn to the vernacular homes and buildings of the Hudson Valley.

Within a year of its founding, the group had set its name as the Society for the Preservation of Hudson Valley Vernacular Architecture. But, notes Wheeler, “When we got our provisional charter from the state Department of Education at the end of 2000, we were asked to shorten the name.

So legally, it’s just ‘Hudson Valley Vernacular Architecture,’ but we still call ourselves ‘The Society for the Preservation of.’”

The group sought a charter from the state education department because its members consider their primary purpose to be educational above everything else, says Wheeler. “We have an interest in preserving and sharing information about these buildings in a permanent manner. We do that through our website and newsletter, and we’ve published some monographs on particular buildings or building types, and published a book.” Authored by HVVA trustee and architectural historian John Stevens, Dutch Vernacular Architecture in North America: 1640-1830 (2005) is the definitive guide to Dutch-built American architecture and early Dutch-American culture.

The group’s monthly study tours are also educational opportunities, Wheeler adds. “We generally have one activity a month, on the third Saturday; frequently it’s a house tour. We try to have the tour focus on either one town or one type of building. And one of the features of our

tours is typically a lively discussion about what it is exactly we’re looking at.”

HVVA will host a tour of Kripplebush and Lyonsville on Saturday, August 18.

Hudson Valley Vernacular Architecture also collaborates with other not-forprofits. They lend their collective expertise to the Wallkill Valley Land Trust for that group’s annual “Houses on the Land” tour in Ulster County, and consult with

the Winnakee Land Trust on its annual Dutchess County tour of historic barns and working farms.

HVVA will work with private individuals who own historic properties, as well, but it stays away from steering people toward specific contractors, Wheeler says. “We do share our opinions about what features in a building are important, and give guidance to the homeowner in that way.”

The approximately 320 members of the group, who hail from all over the country and even the Netherlands, includes several subsets of people concerned with historic preservation, according to Wheeler. There are “folks who are just really interested in the subject” and homeowners with vernacular properties interested in learning more about their homes. Some members are professional restoration builders, who do work like timber-framing or masonry, while others, like Wheeler himself, are professionals in the field with scholarly concerns.

As a senior architectural historian at Hartgen Archeological Associates, Inc. of Albany, his work is multifaceted, involving a variety of objectives from identifying architectural remains to doing surveys of standing structures. Too often, he says, he’s called in to document buildings that are being taken down. “Sadly, I tend to do a lot of those. The intent is that, if it’s impossible to save a building that’s been determined to be historically important, to at least try to record as much information about it as possible.” Those reports, supplemented with photographs, are usually put into public repositories in the town where the building was. Wheeler also makes National Register nominations and determinations and does structural reports to help in restoration work.

He has authored numerous articles and two monographs on New York State architecture, and is currently at work on a book for the SUNY Press documenting vernacular architecture of the upper Hudson and lower Mohawk Valleys.

In addition to serving as president on HVVA’s board, Wheeler is currently vice president of the Dutch Barn Preservation Society, a 12-year board member of the Albany County Historical Association and chair of the City of Troy Historic Review Commission.

Wheeler’s interest in being a part of HVVA, he says, is based on the opportunity it affords to expand upon his education and look at a lot of buildings: “to just be able to see more examples, and to build on what I know. You learn something from every building you go into.”

New members in the Society for the Preservation of Hudson Valley Vernacular Architecture are always welcome, he says; the cost is $25 per year. One can join by visiting the website at www.hvva.org.

MOVIE

Lakeith Stanfield in Boots Riley’s Sorry to Bother You

PETER PRATO | ANNAPURNA PICTURES

A WorryFree future?

Sorry to Bother You is smart, wild, satirical sci/fi

P

art of the fun of being a film buff, beyond the immediate immersive experience of taking in a movie, is detecting influences from past works of literature, whether onscreen or on the printed page.

The best screenwriters and directors have a knack for walking the tightrope between inspired and derivative, between universal themes and hackneyed tropes.

When a new movie comes out that manages to feel fresh and daring even while it hits plenty of checkboxes in the file drawers of my brain devoted to cinema history, I regard that as a reason to celebrate.

So this week provides the happy opportunity to recommend Sorry to Bother You – not to the pearl-clutching faint of heart, but otherwise to anyone who loves movies, sociopolitical satire, dystopian science fiction and transgressive humor.

It marks the invigorating directorial debut of Boots Riley, heretofore best-known as the lead singer/rapper of the politically active Oakland band known as the Coup.

(Note than not being a particular fan of hip hop should not disqualify you from

seeking out this movie; the delightful score interweaves at least as much electronica/ trance music as it does that genre.) Riley was born into a family of Chicago labor organizers and co-founded the Coup with a UPS co-worker, and his deep grounding in community activism informs Sorry to Bother You’s narrative in ways rarely seen in feature films these days.

But don’t walk in expecting a granolafueled Barbara Kopple documentary, or even Norma Rae (though the latter does get an explicit shout-out in Sorry to Bother You). This movie’s DNA might best be described as a cross between Robert Downey, Sr.’s Putney Swope (1969) – both being fantasias on the theme of unintended consequences of a black man accidentally attaining power in a white corporate power structure – and Lindsay Anderson’s homage to Candide, O Lucky Man! (1973), right down to the latter film’s creepy reference to The Island of Dr. Moreau.

ERICA'S CANCER JOURNEY

Celebrating cancerversary #3, or this is just to say: “I have eaten the plums that were in the icebox” – William Carlos Williams

H

ow do I celebrate this year’s cancerversary, number 3? I’ll wake up and kiss Mike good morning, then play online Boggle instead of starting my day media-free like the masters say to. Pee. Return to bed for meditation. Or more Boggle. I can do what I want; it’s my cancerversary after all, right?

But Casey has to go out, and she knows she’s eating right after that, with extra treats for her Lyme pills. I guess I’ll eat with the dog, too. Well, not with her exactly, but you know what I mean. Then time to go for the Appointments. It presents as a plum kind of day.

This is also a day for refilling the feeders. Recently, we witnessed a nuthatch feeding from the suet cake, transferring each bite to very able-bodied, adult-sized nuthatches skittering up and down the treetop.

We discovered (which I hope you’ll tell Mark DeDea at the Forsyth Nature Center) that, despite having “flown the nest,” a few breeds of birds, like nuthatches, continue to feed their young post-flight. I find that so tender. Who’s to say when we’re ready to evolve into a new world, anyway? How do bird families and friends care for their loved ones with cancer?

The third anniversary highlights leather, but I bought myself a bikini. In the world, a plum suddenly becomes a pit. It’s not yours anymore. Life is fair game.

Cancer levels the playing field. Three years of my sailing away from shore means infusing adventure with vulnerability. A new orbit is freedom from another rope loosed from my Viking ship. I can’t prove my work in this calculus, but I know the

his socioeconomic status, Cash takes a commission-only job in a telemarketing firm called RegalView.

He flounders at first, but after being advised by a more seasoned black coworker (Danny Glover) to cultivate his “white voice” for more effective cold calling, Cash learns to his astonishment that he has found something he’s really good at. Elements of magical realism begin to creep into the story at this point, only to escalate more and more bizarrely as it unspools.

Cash’s talents attract the attention of his supervisors, who dangle the carrot of promotion to the coveted status of highly remunerated “power caller” even as his co-workers, led by labor organizer Squeeze (Steven Yeun), begin demanding better pay. Torn between loyalty and ambition, Cash crosses the picket line and soon discovers that the power callers are hawking stuff much less benign than encyclopedias: armaments, and the

services of those virtual slaves who have sold their futures to WorryFree. Armie Hammer plays the villain, WorryFree’s billionaire CEO Steve Lift, whose indulgent lifestyle lures our feckless hero ever more deeply into a web of horrors.

If you’ve wondered how today’s up-andcoming genre filmmakers of color were likely to top the hair-raising premise of Jordan Peele’s 2017 hit Get Out, Sorry to Bother You is your answer – and hopefully the first of many.

It’s by no means a perfect film – there are pacing issues, and its budgetary limitations become apparent once the story’s science-fictional elements begin accelerating – but it’s one of the most tonic products to come down the pike so far this year. The screenplay is witty and smart, full of layered humor, the characters vivid and engagingly portrayed, their moral quandaries classic and yet exquisitely attuned to the politics of the moment.

This Is Congo screenings with director talks in Rhinebeck & Rosendale

The mineral-rich Democratic Republic of the Congo has, over the last

two decades, seen more than five million conflict-related deaths, multiple regime changes and the wholesale impoverishment of its people. Though this ongoing conflict is the world’s bloodiest since World War II, little is known in the West about the players or stakes involved. Beginning in 2012, Hudson Valley-based filmmaker Daniel McCabe began documenting the war in Congo, as seen through the eyes of Colonel “Kasongo,” a whistleblower; Mamadou Ndala, a patriotic military commander; Mama Romance, a mineral dealer; and Hakiza Nyantaba, a displaced tailor.

At the film’s outset, Rwandan and Ugandan-backed M23 rebels have begun massing in the North Kivu region of Congo, threatening peace and stability. We watch as the rebellion mounts in intensity and witness its effects on the film’s four major characters firsthand, while flashing back to key moments in Congo’s history.

NIGHT SKY

Can you outrun a horsefly?

S

ummer is a wonderful season. But those of us who live in the Catskills and Hudson Valley often have to deal with pesky flying insects. Some, like bees, are rarely a problem. But mosquitos are never fun, while horseflies and deer flies, with their truly painful bites, can convert a leisurely stroll or an exercise jog into an unpleasant experience. So the most basic question might be: Can you outrun them?

Given that people generally walk at a speed of 2.5 to four miles per hour, while joggers advance five or six miles per hour, it ought to be a straightforward issue whether you need to be a sprinter to escape them. When it comes to bees, the answer is that sprinters can outrace them, but joggers cannot. Fortunately, the job is easier when it comes to mosquitos. They typically fly at 2.5 miles per hour, so that joggers should be able to whoosh right through a swarm and leave them behind.

No such luck with horseflies. They seem fast and they are fast, since they’ve been measured at 14.8 miles per hour. Now, Usain Bolt, who routinely sprints at over 20 miles per hour, can easily outrun any horsefly. (His fastest-ever speed was 27.3 mph.)

But the typical jogger goes only half of the required speed. Bottom line is that it’s best to avoid encountering them in the first place, by having dry rather than sweaty skin, and by avoiding the hottest parts of the day when they’re most active.

The fastest flyers are the dragonflies, which clock an amazing 40 miles an hour (though some authorities say it’s more like 35). There’s no way you can leave those behind – but then again, there’s no reason to want to, since they are not only harmless, but downright beneficial.

In case you’re a newly arrived immigrant from New York City or Buffalo, where waterbugs are a permanent creepy part of apartment life, when it comes to running, the American cockroach has been measured at 3.4 miles per hour; so, if one ever chases

Over a three-year period, This Is Congo documented this latest cycle of violence from beginning to end and thoroughly unpacked the legacies of colonialism, resource exploitation and genocide that helped make the Congo what it is today.

In November 2016, after 15 years in power, president Joseph Kabila canceled elections extending his rule beyond term limits – and the cycle of war seems likely to start again.

you, be confident that you can always outdistance it by simply jogging.

Can all this possibly relate to the night sky? Well, maybe. That brilliant “star” in the west the first few hours after sunset is Venus. Its rotation speed almost exactly matches that of a scurrying cockroach. To be precise, its equator spins a mere 20 percent faster.

It may be an apt comparison, because astronomers throughout the ’50s and much of the ’60s visualized its surface as a steamy, wet, warm environment that could be conducive to tropical-type lifeforms. These days we’ve confirmed that it has got the most lethargic spin in the entire cosmos, but it’s bone-dry and utterly sterile, with rocks that constantly bake at 850 degrees Fahrenheit.

Bottom line: Let’s not change a thing. Despite some scary science moments a halfcentury ago, Venus remains the Goddess of Love – not the Goddess of Roaches.

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

Time to plant fall crops

G

ardening is so much about planning for the future. Dropping seeminglydead brown specks into a seedflat in spring in anticipation of juicy red tomatoes in summer is fun and exciting.

Now, in the glory of summer, I don’t particularly like planning, which means thinking forward to the crisp days of autumn that lie ahead. But I must. I know that when that time finally comes, I’ll have had my fill of hot weather. And the cooler weather, coupled with shorter days and low-hanging sun, will have tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and other summer vegetables on the wane. Planning and action now let me have a whole other garden come autumn: a garden notable for its shades of green (from leaves) rather than the reds and yellows (from fruits) of summer’s garden.

I’ll need plants and free space ready for my autumn garden. Some plants are already in place: One bed has been home, since early spring, to kale, which keeps growing as we harvest leaves through spring and summer, and Brussels sprouts, from which harvest won’t even begin until early October.

Cabbage plants sown in seedflats in early June are about ready to plant out in the garden now for autumn harvest. Today I sprinkled seeds of endive into mini-furrows in potting soil in a seedflat. The endive seedlings will be ready to move out into the garden in five or six weeks. I’ve also sown more kale seeds to supplement the spring kale for harvest into and perhaps through (depending on the weather) winter.

Early August will be a good time, around here, for planting “Watermelon” – the Watermelon variety of winter radish, whose innards look like cut watermelon but taste very radishy. Also turnips – the delicious variety Hakurei.

I’m also sowing lettuce seeds, which I’ve been doing since spring and continue to do every few weeks. They also go into seedflats, GrowEase seed-starters, from which I can pop out transplants into any spaces that open up here and there around the garden.

So where am I going to plant all those endives, cabbages, winter radishes and turnips? The autumn garden will also need room for direct sowings of quickly maturing autumn vegetables like arugula, mustard and lesser-known salad “greens” like mâche (corn salad), erba stella (minutina) and claytonia (miners’ lettuce). The garden is packed full of plants now.

Going into August, space will open up for those autumn garden plants. From my first planting in mid-May, I’ll pick the last ripe ear of Golden Bantam sweet corn around mid-August, then have a whole bed available as soon as I clear away the spent stalks.

LEE REICH | ALMANAC WEEKLY

Similarly for the beds of onions, early bush beans and edamame.

Enough planning for autumn and beyond: I’m going outside to feast on blueberries, black raspberries and gooseberries – for me, the essence of summer.

Now that I think of it, as soon as the black raspberries finish up (which is very soon), I do have to plan for them also, for late summer and autumn. The varieties I grow – Niwot and Ohio’s Treasure – are unusual in being two-crop black raspberries, just like my “fall-bearing” (“everbearing”) raspberries. That is, they bear in early summer on stems that grew last year, just like conventional black raspberries. But – and here is where they are unique – they also bear in late summer and autumn, beginning at the tips of new stems that rose from ground level this spring.

Last year’s stems are just finishing fruiting, after which they begin to die. I’ll cut them away to make room for the new stems, and to keep the late-summer and autumn harvest from these new stems from becoming a thorny nightmare.

SHINDIG AT CATSKILL ANIMAL SANCTUARY IN SAUGERTIES THIS SATURDAY

S

ome animals have a lot to celebrate. They’ve been rescued for one reason or another and brought to live at the Catskill Animal Sanctuary (CAS), a 148-acre refuge located in Saugerties. Not a bad place to “retire” – especially when attended by compassionate caregivers like founder Kathy Stevens and her team. A not-for-profit organization, CAS has cared for more than 4,000 animals (and has found homes for many of them) since 2001.

To mark another successful year, CAS is throwing its annual summer party. The Shindig happens this Saturday afternoon with fun and educational family activities, vegan cooking demos, a raffle with great prizes, music by Joy Askew and Shlomo Franklin, vegan food vendors, speakers and the highlight of the day: the opportunity to hand-feed watermelon to rescued pigs!

About those savory and sweet vegan treats: Freakin’ Vegan, Gone Pie, the Green Palate, Wendy’s Vegetarian Kitchen and So Delish will serve up plant-based goodies. CAS provides year-round educational programs that advocate veganism as the best way to end animal suffering, improve human health and heal an ailing planet. Along with direct animal aid and advocacy, the Sanctuary also offers weekend tours, summer camp and vegan culinary classes.

Tickets cost $20 general admission, $17 for Sanctuary members, $10 for kids aged 5 to 12 and are free for kids under 5.

Proceeds from ticket sales go to support the ongoing work of CAS. Tickets are available at https://bit.ly/2zO3fFV. Shindig goes on rain or shine, so dress accordingly.

– Ann Hutton Shindig, Saturday, July 21, 11 a.m.-3 p.m., $20/$17/$10, Catskill Animal Sanctuary, 316 Old Stage Road, Saugerties; (845) 336-8447, www.casanctuary.org.

Hike to Falling Waters Preserve and the Saugerties Lighthouse

O

nce home to one of the enormous icehouses that lined the Hudson River in the days before electric-powered refrigeration, the Falling Waters Preserve (FWP) is one of Scenic Hudson’s newest parks. Its attractions include a picturesque waterfall and a mile-long stretch of rocky path following the Hudson shoreline, from which eagles are commonly spotted.

Haven’t checked out this choice outdoor-recreation destination yet? This Saturday morning, July 21, the Mid-Hudson chapter of the Adirondack Mountain Club (ADK) invites you to come along on a family-friendly, moderate-level 3.5mile hike that will take in both FWP and the Saugerties Lighthouse Trail. The expedition will set out at 9:30 a.m. at FWP and stop for a snack/early lunch on the Lighthouse deck in the middle of the river.

Bring food, water and binoculars if you have them; and make sure to start the trek with an empty bladder, as no toilet facilities will be available along the way. Register for the hike with leader Carla Barrett at barrettinclinton@gmail.com or (315) 527-8478. To reach the meeting point, take Route 9W or Route 32 south of Saugerties to Main Street in Glasco to the intersection of Delaware and York; or let your GPS direct you to 45 York Street.

DATED: July 19, 2018 Kingston, New York Victoria A. Fabella, Clerk Ulster County Legislature Local Law Number 2 Of 2018 County Of Ulster A Local Law Amending Local Law 6 of 2014, To Improve And Strengthen The Sustainable Energy Loan Program BE IT ENACTED, by the County Legislature of the County of Ulster, New York, as follows: SECTION 1. LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS AND INTENT. The Ulster County Legislature hereby finds and determines that the County of Ulster enacted Local Law No. 6 of 2014 (codified as Chapter 190 of the Code of the County of Ulster), pursuant to provisions of New York General Municipal Law, to establish a Sustainable Energy Loan Program.

This program authorized the Energy Improvement Corporation (“EIC”), a local development corporation acting on behalf of the County of Ulster, to make funds available to qualified property owners for the installation of renewable energy systems and energy-efficiency measures.

The Ulster County Legislature further finds that the New York State Legislature recently amended certain provisions of the municipal sustainable energy loan program to “eliminate barriers that have been identified that have prevented the program from reaching its full potential.”

The Ulster County Legislature finds that the amendments to the program, enacted as Chapter 320 of the 2017 Laws of the State of New York, seek to encourage net metered and community solar projects, will allow the County of Ulster’s program to use monies available from the State or any State authority, and will permit a more flexible loan standard for commercial properties.

Therefore, the purpose of this law is to amend the County of Ulster’s Sustainable Energy Loan Program in conformity with changes recently enacted to the New York State enabling legislation.

SECTION 2. Section 2 of Local Law 6 of 2014 is hereby amended to read as follows: SECTION 2. Legislative intent and purpose.

It is the policy of both the County of Ulster and the State of New York to achieve energy efficiency and renewable energy goals, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, mitigate the effect

Animals

FOR ADOPTION- Handsome, Sweet 9-year old Gray Cat Boy, Quicksilver, has been through so much. He lost his lifelong cat friend/brother. He was put outside when a fragile baby came home and the doctor recommended no pets in the house. He’s been neutered, up-to-date w/shots and litter pan trained. He’s now in a house in Shandaken where the resident cat has attacked him. He’s not sure why such bad things are happening to such a good cat.

Quicksilver needs a new lap and a new person to love him. If you think that person could be you, please call (845)514-9694.

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)2822018. If you’d like a return call, please leave your full name, phone number w/area code and best time to reach you.

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.
