Twyla Tharp Dance Saturday, October 20 @ 8 pm Orpheum Film & Performing Arts Center, 6050 Main Street, Village of Tannersville

October is the time of year when, reluctant to turn up the heat (and the monthly utility bill), upstaters dig out their coziest bed-coverings to snuggle under at night. You can make your quilt dreams come true this weekend as the Wiltwyck Quilters’ Guild’s much-anticipated judged show, Quilts in the Valley, makes its biennial return to the Rondout Valley Middle School in Stone Ridge. Handmade bedquilts, artistic wall-hangings and one-of-akind wearables will be on view, including a display of exquisite fabric art from the Studio Art Quilt Associ-

Following a month-long residency at the Orpheum Film & Performing Arts Center, Twyla Tharp and her dancers will stage a performance of two earlier works, plus works in progress. “Minimalism and Me” recollects Tharp’s experiences while living among major visual artists of the time and the influence the movement had on her choreography. The second work will be a restaging of two of the dances in the original “Eight Jelly Rolls,” inspired by Jelly Roll Morton. The comedic timing and slippery flow of movement in the choreography reflects the sense of ease and freedom of the 1920s.

Tharp’s solo, nicknamed “The Drunk,” emphasizes the natural loose-limbed athleticism that became synonymous with her work.

Papermaker opens this Saturday at Shadowland The professional Equity theater Shadowland Stages is ending its season with the Hudson Valley premiere of Papermaker, a drama by novelist Monica Wood that centers around a papermill strike in rural Maine and follows the intersecting lives of two families.

In the plot, Ernie Donahue is a striking worker taking care of his dying wife Marie and, inexplicably, spending his off time building an ark in his back yard. Their son Jake has threatened to cross the picket line, sending their family into turmoil. Meanwhile, company owner Henry McCoy has been convinced by his estranged daughter Emily to join her

The New York State Grange was founded in 1873 under the mission of “providing opportunities for individuals and families to develop their highest potential in order to build stronger communities and states, as well as a stronger nation.”

The organization also touts the following philosophy: “We feel that a strong community is based on developing a friendly, positive relationship among its citizens... A community where citizens know each other and communicate on a regular basis will run smoothly and work for the total benefit of the community as a whole.”

There are 160 Granges remaining in New York State, with just two chapters located in Ulster County, 12 in Dutchess County, one in Columbia County and four in Orange County. For more information on how you can join or help a local chapter remain vital, visit http://nysgrange.org.

The Twin Towers are no more, but Philippe Petit’s daring vision of treading a highwire between them back in 1974 shimmers in the atmosphere above lower Manhattan indelibly, forever. It was an undertaking worthy of celebration by a modern-day Homer, if we had one.

Perhaps there is such a bard for the ages amongst the poets who will be gathering for the four-day Peak Color Poetry Retreat being hosted this weekend at the Poetry Barn in West Hurley. Participants will work with prompts and found objects and study poems by highly visual poets as they take a daily workshop led by Judith Vollmer, “The Living Object: Image & Movement.”

The centerpiece of the retreat will be a talk at 4 p.m. on Sunday, October 7, open to the general public, by Petit himself: a self-proclaimed “rebel poet” who has said that walking on the cable was an effort to “extend the boundaries of poetry.” Besides reading his first poem, published at age 17, the skywalking icon (and Catskills resident) will lead a conversation on the subject of creativity and risk-taking.

1973). Though far from New York, it has been the property of the Dia Foundation since 1999. Dia:Beacon has several other Smithsons in its collection, and periodically sponsors lectures about the artist and his legacy. This Saturday afternoon, two Salt Lake City-based naturalists, Bonnie Baxter and Jaimi Butler of the Great Salt Lake Institute, will give a talk about Spiral Jetty from an ecological perspective.

“Smithson reportedly chose the Rozel Point site based on the blood-red color

of the water and its connection with the primordial sea,” according to Wikipedia, .“The red hue of the water is due to the presence of salt-tolerant bacteria and algae that thrive in the extreme 27 percent salinity of the lake’s north arm, which was isolated from freshwater sources by the building of a causeway by the Southern Pacific Railroad in 1959.” Entropy was a philosophical concept of interest to the sculptor, and he fully expected his earthwork to erode and vanish over time.

Baxter’s academic specialties are the photobiology of halophiles (salt-tolerant

bacteria) and the microbial diversity of Great Salt Lake, and Butler works closely with her. So these two scientists should have some enlightening insights into the impacts of the lake’s unusual chemistry and ecosystems on the artwork, and vice versa.

This lecture begins at 2 p.m. on October 6, and is free with museum admission. No reservations are required.

Events unfolding in the world of politics and jurisprudence over the past fortnight have not provided much in the way of positive public relations for people who like beer. But beer itself is not to blame for bad behavior.

And what better way to blunt alcohol’s inhibition-suppressing tendencies than by pairing it with fine foods?

A terrific opportunity to exercise moderation comes up this Saturday, October 6 at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, when the third annual Brew U Beer Festival returns.

Brew U combines sampling from more than 20 top breweries and cideries – mostly local, including the Brewery at the CIA – with delicious food and fun, educational seminars for beer and culinary enthusiasts. The afternoon’s schedule includes tours of the brewery and the college’s Art & Science of Brewing classrooms, opportunities to meet CIA head brewer Hutch Kugeman and other New York State brewers and beer experts, all while sampling beers and ciders. You’ll also enjoy gourmet dishes perfectly paired with beer and prepared by CIA chefs.

Seminars being offered this year include Beer & Cheese Pairing, An Introduction to Trappist Ales, The Woods & the Wilds (barrel-aged and sour beers) and Why Freshness Matters (IPAs).

Admission to Brew U costs $85 for tipplers, which includes all beer and food during the event, access to all tours and educational seminars and a commemorative tasting glass. Designated drivers get everything but the beer for $35. All guests must be at least 21 years of age. For reservations, visit https://bit. ly/2Ng4qQ5l.

David Schuyler’s new book, Embattled River, begins with an event that turned out to be the kernel of modern American environmentalism: the struggle over the proposed Consolidated Edison pumped-storage facility at Storm King Mountain in the early 1960s.

n what amounts to a history of environmental consciousness in America and the birth of the modern conservationist movement, David Schuyler’s exhaustively researched Embattled River: The Hudson and Modern American Environmentalism (Cornell University Press) positions the Hudson at the very center of the storm.

wide. The river’s (ongoing, uncertain) redemption and protection have become an often-cited testament to the efficacy of vigilant stewardship and environmental action at all levels, from federal courts and commissions to grassroots resistance and the visionary actions of individuals. To mix a metaphor, the Hudson River was, and remains, the very turf of America’s battle to protect its resources and to honor the aesthetic and recreational necessity of nature in our quality of life.

To understand why the Hudson – hardly America’s only or principal toxic river and despoiled resource – assumed this iconic significance in the environmentalist struggle, one might

There is Washington Irving, A. J. Downing and something about the region that favored it others, who were inspired by the river and whose works made the Hudson a national icon.”

Embattled River begins with an event that turned out to be the kernel of modern American environmentalism: the struggle over the proposed Consolidated Edison pumped-storage facility at Storm King Mountain in the early 1960s.

From Washington, DC to the affected riverside communities, Con Ed’s massive energy project mobilized resistance and popularized environmentalism in a way nothing before it had. The protracted conflict led to the formation of Scenic Hudson, and to victories both in courts and in the “court of public opinion” that thrust environmentalism into the national spotlight. The Scenic Hudson Decision established for the first time the precedent that non-property-owners can have legal standing in cases involving natural resources. The Storm King standoff also created the groundwork for the Environmental Protection Agency and for effective litigatory, legislative and direct action in the future.

A serious storyteller who plays by the stringent rules of the historian, Schuyler expertly weaves his many strands into a 360-degree view. With no perceptible changes in tone, his account moves from highly technical legal analysis to stories of human interest, heroism and agency.

Bring your own water to the“Each Day, Water” installation in Poughkeepsie

T

he Hudson Valley being in many ways the cradle of the US environmental movement – particularly with regard to water pollution and energy issues – it seems inevitable that the recent activism of the indigenous-led Water Protector Movement, opposing the routing of the Dakota Access Pipeline through the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation in North Dakota, would resonate deeply with many in this region. Among those who sought their own ways to support the Water Protectors was Poughkeepsie-based artist Elizabeth Phelps Meyer, whose own forebears are traceable back to the Wampanoag leader Metacom (known to the English colonists as King Philip), during the late 1600s in the Plymouth Colony.

“I have native ancestry, and feel kinship. To honor my ancestry, I need to be an ally in the current struggle,” says Phelps Meyer, who spent two weeks this summer at Standing Rock prayer camps, recording interviews with native leaders. “I care about these people and the planet. My art matters only to the degree it can change people’s minds and feelings.” Accordingly, the artist has organized a monthlong installation and accompanying series of public events titled “Each Day, Water,” which officially opens at Art Centro in Poughkeepsie with a reception at 5 p.m. on Friday, October 5.

“Each Day, Water: A Monument for the Water Protectors of Standing Rock and Beyond” is a temporary, interactive and immersive ceramic and sound installation that will run from now until October 27. The exhibition shows 365 porcelain vessels that the artist has created and wood-fired since autumn 2016. Water from the Missouri and Cannonball Rivers at Standing Rock will fill the vessels, as well as water from other important places of struggle against the “Black Snake” (fossil fuel infrastructure), including our region’s own Muhheakantuc, the Hudson River. Members of the public are invited to add their own water to the installation at any time during the weeks of the exhibit. The audio installation will feature statements from more than 20 Water Protectors from Standing Rock and other Sioux communities, as well as non-native allies in the Water Protector Movement.

Community events in conjunction with the exhibition will include a screening of the documentary Black Snake Killaz at 3 p.m. on Sunday, October 7; “River People,” a slideshow and talk about Munsee Delaware, Wappingers, Tappan and Mohican people of this region with Evan Pritchard at 7 p.m. on Monday, October 8; “Decolonization,” a roundtable discussion with Molly McGlennan, Crystal Migwans, Joan Henry, Jennifer Weston and Two Clouds at 3 p.m. on Saturday, October 13; “Earthsinger, Songs and Stories of Water and Water Protectors” with Joan Henry at 7 p.m. on Saturday, October 13; an artist talk with Elizabeth Phelps Meyer at 6 p.m. on Friday, October 19; a screening of Awake: A Dream from Standing Rock at 3 p.m. on Sunday, October 21; and a performance by Kontiwennenhawi: Women Singers of Akwesasne at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, October 26.

The exhibit will close on Saturday, October 27 with a traditional water ceremony by Standing Rock Water Protector Chas Jewett and a Walk from Art Centro to Waryas Waterfront Park with Ojibwe elder Sharon Day.

forms the backdrop. One chapter concerns the role of Pete Seeger (who was initially denied membership in Scenic Hudson because his leftist politics were considered potentially divisive) and the Clearwater sloop.

news – to me: a major nuclear power facility with cooling towers proposed for the Esopus/Lloyd town line in the 1970s?

I’m not sure how I missed that one, but I’d like to offer long-belated thanks to the forces that organized to defeat it.

While famous folksingers and

sportswriters account for a colorful minority of Embattled River’s cast of characters and agents, the majority of the players are elected officials, lawmakers and non-famous private citizens. As the stories of conflicts mount, it becomes clear that there were typically three

forces at play in each: the environmental leaders and their interests on one side; the interests of development, ownership and local control of resources on the other; and then a slippery middle group – epitomized by New York governor Nelson Rockefeller’s expedient and declawed Hudson River Valley Commission – where the interests of development and money assumed the garb of environmentalism.

It’s the zone of appeasement, compromise or just flat-out public relations manipulation and cooptation. In the 1960s, environmentalism had gained such force as a nonpartisan cause that leaders had to acknowledge and honor it, even if disingenuously. One wonders if, in today’s climate, decisionmakers even feel obliged to pretend.

In the 1960s, Pete Seeger described the burgeoning environmental movement as one that included “backers of every shade of political belief.” There is no doubt that environmental issues – with their direct, party-blind impact on health and quality of life – possess a rare power to unify. But in the binary political climate of 2018, has environmentalism fallen entirely to one side of the blue-and-red divide, rendering those on the other side “opposed” to it by default? “[This was] the subject of a lively discussion I had with Riverkeeper’s Board of Directors,” Schuyler says. “Someone asked me about the polarization in our current political climate and how we can overcome it. I donned my historian’s hat and explained that it doesn’t have to be this way – that for much of the 20th century, Republicans were the most articulate champions of conservation and land preservation. But how we get back to that is the real challenge.”

“Connecting with the river is key,” the Newburgh native Schuyler says. “A generation ago there were only a few places where the public could access the riverfront. Thanks to the efforts of Scenic Hudson, Riverkeeper and lots of citizens, today there are more than 100. Seeger knew that public access was key, and he did much to promote it because he realized that if citizens felt a sense of ownership of the river, they would defend it.”

Historian David Schuyler will be the featured speaker at the Open House at the John Burroughs Association’s Slabsides Sanctuary on Saturday, October 6. Programs run from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Professor Schuyler’s presentation begins at noon. Inquiring Minds Bookstore will be selling copies of Embattled River at the event, and Schuyler will be available to sign them.

ART Through a glass, textually Maureen Cummins is writer-in-thewindow for Shout Out Saugerties

W

hen we think of a writer at work, we think of a solitary engagement with pen, or typewriter, or computer keyboard, conducted in a private place, devoid, if possible, of ambient noise and external distractions.

But starting on Wednesday morning, October 10, Maureen Cummins will be engaged in writing a work of nonfiction in full public view, seated in the window of Pig Bar & Grill on Partition Street in Saugerties.

Some manner of privacy will prevail, however, as you will be able to see her, but she will not see you. Cummins will be sitting with her back, and her long silver ponytail, to the street, engrossed in her writing, and unless you are exceptionally rude, she will take no notice of you. She will face the interior of the restaurant, with a magnificent old writing desk and a

Cummins’ live-body installation will be part of Shout Out Saugerties, an ambitious four-week festival of the arts at 15 locations throughout the village (see below). She will be ensconced in the window of the Pig, at 110 Partition Street, every day from 9 to 3 through October 28. (Of course, she’ll have time-outs to eat or pee or stretch her legs; at the end of each day’s shift she’s considering putting a sign in the window reading BACK IN 18 HOURS.) The paradox of a private discipline put on public display is only one aspect of Cummins’ installation.

And ultimately, the installation “is not about the book, but about the process of writing,” says Cummins.

That process can exact a physical and psychological toll — in the words of the immortal sportswriter Red Smith, what writing demands is that you “sit down at the typewriter, open your veins and bleed.” One trusts that Cummins’ residency will not prove too s a n g u i n a r y, concluding with defenestration into Partition Street. But the transparent nature of the installation will allow passersby to share in the aches and pains and, yes, the not inconsiderable joys and rewards of writing.

For Cummins, one of those joys is to sit and work at that aforementioned magnificent writing desk. Battleship gray,

with a handsome splashboard, it has the initials of previous owners carved into it, with lots of markings and scratches. “It’s just an incredible desk,” she says. “It’s got a lot of life, a lot of character.”

O n e fi n a l component of the installation is an invitation for people to come in and tell her stories, although she is not interested in the stories per se, but in stories about stories — “about stories as stories, not r e a l i t y.”

This is a noble tradition — think of Scheherazade, or Cervantes, or Calvino, where the story is equally about the telling of the story, about the process of its transmission.

Cummins is no stranger to installation art; she created many site-specific pieces in her late 20s and early 30s, but “the work was problematic,” she says, in that “you can’t really sell installations.” She has fared much better with her limited edition artists books, which incorporate found texts and found images and are included in collections the world over, including the Getty Museum in LA, the Brooklyn Museum and the Library of Congress, among many other holdings.

NIGHT SKY

Want to escape this weird universe?

There is a way

A

stronomy textbooks from the ’50s routinely ignored a fact that, these days, has come front and center: We live in a very peculiar universe.

It’s amazing, it’s now acknowledged, that we’re here at all. If we were situated near a black hole, life wouldn’t be as pleasant. If our solar system sat near any of the many suns that blew themselves to kingdom come, we’d have been toast.

And those are just the neighborhood menaces. There’s no limit to the close shaves and what-ifs that would have prevented us from ever existing in the first place.

By the late ’60s it had become clear that, had the Big Bang been just one part in a hundred thousand more powerful, the cosmos would have blown outward too fast for stars to form. Result: no us. Even more coincidentally, the universe’s four fundamental forces are just perfectly set up to create atoms, stars, energy reaching planets, water molecules and life. Moreover, some 200 physical constants such as the strength of gravity and the electromagnetic force are dead-on perfect to allow atoms more massive than hydrogen, and for nuclear fusion to occur in the Sun. Tweak any of them and you never existed.

Nowadays such oddities influence cosmological thinking. After all, mustn’t our theories plausibly explain why we live in such a highly unlikely reality?

“Not at all,” said Princeton physicist Robert Dicke early on, in papers written in the ’60s and elaborated upon by Brandon Carter in 1974. Describing what has been dubbed the “Anthropic Principle,” Carter explained that what we can expect to observe “must be restricted by the conditions necessary for our presence as observers.” So, if gravity were a hair stronger or the Big Bang a sliver weaker, and therefore the universe’s lifespan significantly shorter, we couldn’t be here to think about it. Since we’re here, the universe had to be the way it is and therefore isn’t unlikely at all. Case closed.

By this reasoning, there’s no need for gratitude. It’s not at all amazing that we live on the third planet in a narrow comfort zone, bathed in a rich environment of elements produced by the death of earlier generations of stars. The seemingly fortuitous circumstances are what’s needed to produce life. If we’re here, this is what we must find around us.

Such reasoning is now known as the “weak” version of the Anthropic Principle. The “strong” version – one that more closely skirts the edges of philosophy – says that the universe must have those properties that allow life to develop within it, because it was obviously “designed” with the goal of generating and sustaining observers. Going even further, physicist John Wheeler, who coined the term “black hole,” advocated what is now called the Participatory Anthropic Principle: Observers are required to bring the universe into existence.

Many in the astronomical community seem to guardedly embrace one version or

Hudson Valley Dance Festival in Catskill this Saturday

2 and 5 p.m. at historic Catskill Point, a 19th-century warehouse located at 1 Main Street in Catskill, on the banks of the Hudson River. The event is produced by and benefits Dancers Responding to AIDS, a program of Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS and the AIDS Council of Northeastern New York.

The Festival will feature performances in a range of dance styles, including performances by the Paul Taylor Dance Company, the Washington Ballet and Wendy Whelan, choreography by Ray Mercer and Troy Schumacher and more.

You can learn more about the lineup at https://bit.ly/2NX7qWs. In its first five years, Hudson Valley Dance Festival has raised more than $600,000. The money helps AIDS and family service organizations nationwide, including 12 groups based in the Hudson Valley.

another. “I like the weak Anthropic Principle,” said astronomer Alex Filippenko of the University of California, when I asked his opinion in 2007. “Used appropriately, it has some predictive value.” After all, he added, “Small changes to seemingly boring properties of the universe could have easily produced a universe in which nobody would have been around to be bored.”

Critics, however, wonder whether the Anthropic Principle is no more than a piece of circular reasoning, or a facile way of squirming out of explaining the enormous peculiarities of the physical universe. Philosopher John Leslie, in his 1996 book Universes, says, “A man in front of a firing squad of one hundred riflemen is going to be pretty surprised if every bullet misses him. Sure he could say to himself, ‘Of course they all missed; that makes perfect sense, otherwise I wouldn’t be here to wonder why they all missed.’ But anyone in his or her right mind is going to want to know how such an unlikely event occurred.”

In any event, the issue has now caused an upsurge in “multiverse” conversations. The idea of numerous unseen universes has been a quantum theory interpretation since the late ’50s, but now some cosmologists have adopted their own version to “explain” our weirdly life-friendly cosmos – namely, if everything we can observe has (or must have) life-friendly physical laws, then perhaps there are untold other universes with physics that proscribe life. Because both sets of conditions appear, nothing is particularly strange.

This is attractive to those who dislike the notion that nature is amazing or even miraculous, or that there might be any sort of intelligent design at play. Our 21st-century menu thus offers entrées for every mindset.

A lifelong teacher, she has been involved in the criminal justice system for two decades and says, “It’s the most satisfying teaching I’ve ever done.

Somewhere Alley, Wastedland 2 highlight O+ Festival this weekend

N

ow in its ninth season, Kingston’s O+ Festival has insinuated itself and its art into the cracks and the crevices of old town. Every surface of the city is a potential canvas, every space a likely venue. Like the general revitalization of Kingston, in the past few years, O+’s reach has expanded beyond Uptown and the Stockade District – specifically in the direction of Midtown and Broadway, with shuttles to bridge the two. O+ now appears as a legitimate citywide seasonal transformation. I’m ready to retire the description “pop-up” right after this article, but anyone who shares with me an atavistic fascination with byzantine urban complications, ragamuffins under lids, Surrealism and dreamlike surprises around every corner will really appreciate the explosion of art, music and general fancy that happens in Kingston on the weekend of October 5 through 7.

Consider, for example, Somewhere Alley at 73 Crown Street: a graffiti-lined descending ramp that, under normal circumstances, one would be wisely cautious about entering. For a number of festivals now, this space has become one of O+’s more popular pop-up venues.

Somewhere Alley features live music from 2 to 6 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday, performers include Yolanda Yolanda, the performing alias of the Chilean singer/songwriter Ariel Acevedo (2 p.m.); the politically charged songwriter, Martha’s Vineyard native and Connor Oberst associate Willy Mason (3 p.m.); the Austin-based all-female rock ’n’ roll riot Danger*Cakes (4 p.m.); and the tuneful, downhill punk/rock of New Paltz club legends Top Nachos.

On Sunday, Somewhere Alley features performances by Hiding behind Sound, the luminous singer/songwriter comingout of the well-known Hudson Valley drummer Sammi Niss (Laura Stevenson, Matt Pond PA, Battle Ave) (2 p.m.); the LGBTQ musical initiative Key of Q (3 p.m.); and two stalwarts of the Hudson Valley’s indigenous music scene: our chief roots-and-rockabilly export, Lara Hope & the Ark-Tones (4 p.m.), and the charismatic, high-drama rock of Kingston’s house band, J.

deeper O+s in a number of years: a real return to form and one that, per usual, balances local identity with national and international currents.

Speaking of local currents, guitarist Michael Hollis is best-known to locals as a member of New Paltz’s beloved indie-rock band Breakfast in Fur, as well as his own jammier trio Blue Museum.

This year, he received a commission to compose a piece of true local resonance.

The resulting work, The Edge of the Hill, is a hybrid electronic/ensemble composition that features elements based on the Ulster County environment and what its citizens do to preserve and protect it. The sneak peek that the composer vouchsafed me describes a composition of lithe melody (some tangoesque, some Reichian pattern study) combined with radical sound manipulation and many actual human voices of the Valley describing their relationship with Ulster County’s extraordinary natural environment. The Edge of the Hill will be performed on two occasions at the Old Dutch Church: Friday, October 5 at 9 p.m. and Saturday, October 6 at 1 p.m.

Janeane Garofalo, Evan Dando to headline O+ Festival in Kingston One might spend an entire article summarizing and amplifying the basic premise of the suddenly venerable O+ Festival, the terms and rationale of its music-for-healthcare exchange and all the other things – art, urban murals, installations, pop-up venues, conferences and a general spirit of cultural dialogue and curation – that have crept in and enriched the festival over its nine (!) years. In its early days, the neighborhood festival rolled into Uptown Kingston for a weekend in early October, temporarily rebranding the streets and venues, bringing a kind of music and a kind of people perhaps more associated with the boroughs of New York City, and then just as swiftly receding.

But now O+, its institutions, and its people are a year-round fixture of the cultural climate here. O+ is the flagship

event of the New Kingston, and perhaps one of the primary reasons that the stilltenuous rebirth of this little city feels like something different from gentrification and another wave of urban flight upriver.

There’s a weekly O+ radio program on the new Radio Kingston (ah, the sweet, sweet terrible sound of AM!). The many murals painted for O+ are the backdrop of Uptown.

In typical O+ fashion, the bulk of this year’s lineup was announced all at once, and then some time passed, and then the big-name, keynote headliners – pop/ rocker Evan Dando of Lemonheads fame and comedian Janeane Garofalo – came in a second wave of announcements. The literal poster boy for the Boston guitarpop of the ’90s and beyond, Dando, with or without the Lemonheads, has been on an underpublicized roll since the release of his first nominal solo record, 2003’s Baby, I’m Bored, and the excellent Lemonheads Mach II self-titled reunion record in 2006 and 2009’s touching collection of oddball covers, Varshons. Few people have combined crunch and sweetness is a more agreeable way than Evan Dando, who performs at the Old Dutch Church on Saturday, October 6 at 9:30 p.m.

Also, on Saturday, October 6, the Comedy Resistance presents the legendary

comedian and actress Janeane Garofalo in performance in the huge back room at BSP at 323 Wall Street. Garofalo has had many memorable and critically acclaimed roles in such films as The Truth about Cats and Dogs, Wet Hot American Summer, Ratatouille, Steal This Movie, Reality Bites, Romy and Michelle’s High School Reunion, Mystery Men and The Cable Guy. Janeane also co-authored the bestseller Feel this Book, with Ben Stiller.

Other notable acts appearing throughout the weekend include the psychedelic cabaret ringleader Marco Benevento; Dandy Warhol’s psych/rock side project Pete International; Nous, featuring legendary experimental jazz composer and keyboardist Karl Berger, Christopher Bono, great Medeski, Martin, and Wood drummer Billy Martin and other friends. Guitarist Billy Rogan performs music on electronically enhanced acoustic guitar that splits the difference between New Age Minimalism and virtuoso New Folk. A veteran of the Hudson Valley Psych Fest, the Golden Grass plays a particularly ornery brand of psychedelic rock that hearkens back to the bloozy riffage of Cactus and other nearly forgotten icons of c*ck-rock. To name a few is to slight too many, but do trust me when I say that this is one of the

t’s nice to see that at least someone or -thing enjoys the current cool, wet weather – my eight ducks, for instance. As I open the door to “Duckingham Palace,” each duck pads out onto the slurpy ground as happy as a lark (a lark on a sunny day, I assume). Also enjoying this awful weather are the oat cover crops that I’ve sown in some of my vegetable beds. The oats are especially lush and green, as is your and my lawn grass. The same goes for beds I recently planted with lettuce, radishes, arugula, turnips and other cool-weather vegetables.

Nasturtium flowers, which I planted back in May, went hardly noticed all season long.

But now they are lush, their red flowers boldly staring out against the background of their round disks of bluish-green leaves.

The plants’ present prominence comes, first, from the weather. Native from the cool highlands of Mexico down into Chile and Argentina, the plants feel right at home, and show it with their luxuriant growth, when I’m beginning to feel chilly.

They also have come into prominence because some of their neighboring plants – marigolds, cucumbers and tomatoes, for example – are waning.

Nasturtium offers a lot of bang for the buck, so for many years, each May, I’ve dropped the seeds into holes I poke into the ground. Mostly I plant them near my garden gates, but also, some years, along the wide main path at the head of each of the vegetable beds. The latter planting was an emulation of painter Claude Monet’s well-known nasturtium plantings that softened the wide path beneath his long arbor. The plant isn’t really a climber, but may be called a clamberer; that’s how it makes its way partway up nearby gates and wire fences.

Nasturtium seeds germinate readily once the soil warms sufficiently, and then are carefree all summer long. The large size of the seeds and their quick germination make them fun for children to plant and watch.

Sometimes the plants are so carefree as to need some discipline. The ones I planted along my path required pruning to keep them from meeting in the middle and obliterating the path.

Nasturtium offers more than just beauty. All parts of the plant are edible. The leaves add a pungent pizazz to a sandwich; the flowers add pizazz and eye-appeal to a salad.

The immature seeds can be pickled as stand-ins for capers. One nasturtium species, called mashua in some parts of the world, is a perennial producing edible tubers. This one is an actual climber rather than a clamberer.

The word “nasturtium” comes from the Latin words nasus, meaning “nose,” and torqueum, meaning “twist,” which is what the peppery flavor of watercress or nasturtium does.

Nasturtium got its common name because of its similarity in taste to water-

Wheel of the Year, you really ought to check out the Halloween Journey, which makes its ninth annual visit to the Maurice D. Hinchey Catskill Interpretive Center in Mount Tremper later this month.

Conceived by actress Cara Cruickshank as “an event that promotes wonder, not fright,” and produced in partnership with the Pine Hill Community Center, Café de la Culture and 100,000 Poets for Change, the Halloween Journey is subtitled “A Mysterious and Magical Celebration of Catskills History, Ecology and Folklore.”

It’s a fully immersive nighttime theatrical experience, set outdoors in nature and lit mainly by candles and jack o’ lanterns, but totally kid-friendly and even wheelchairaccessible.

The evening begins with a bonfire and live folk music, with seasonal treats including hot apple cider and homemade chili for sale. Next, you embark on an adventure into the forest to encounter legendary characters of Catskill history, fantasy and folklore: Rip van Winkle, Sojourner Truth, John Burroughs, Celtic fairies, indigenous animal spirit guides

cress, which is botanically Nasturtium officinale. The word “nasturtium” comes from the Latin words nasus, meaning “nose,” and torqueum, meaning “twist,” which is what the peppery flavor of watercress or nasturtium does.

Despite one plant sharing its common name with the botanical name of the other, nasturtium and watercress are not in the same family. They do, however, share certain flavor profiles (which is why both are nose-twisters) – so much so that the cabbage white butterfly will feed on nasturtium, as well as its namesake, cabbage, but not with great enthusiasm. The caterpillar phase of the cabbage white butterfly will only feed on nasturtium if it did so from birth; try feeding it to the second or third instar of this insect, and it would rather starve, literally!

The genus for nasturtium is Tropaeolum, the trop part related to the word “trophy.”

Founder of plant taxonomy Carl von Linnaeus assigned this name because the clambering flowers and leaves reminded him of the helmets and shields of the vanquished that were draped on tree branches following battles in his day.

In contrast to the nasturtiums, my tomato plants are not at all happy with the weather now – or for much of this summer. Humid conditions have fostered diseases: the usual leaf-spotting diseases (early blight, late blight and septoria leaf spot) as well as anthracnose. Anthracnose is particularly vexing, because apparently-sound tomatoes develop the sunken, rotting lesions from this disease after only a day or so on the kitchen counter.

A thorough cleanup of all tomato leaves, stems and fruits, covering the ground with compost and moving tomato plantings to new locations should help limit disease next year. Also, wearing red shoes and clicking my heels together three times before planting might help.

The passing of tomatoes isn’t all that bad, because they don’t taste that good in this weather. And we do have a reasonable amount broadcasting their richness through the sparkling-clear glass of canning jars.

Why I’m a Forsyth Nature Center fan

W

hat’s the difference between llamas and alpacas? What does a live turkey look like? When is the last time you fed a goat? All of these questions can be experienced and answered at the Forsyth Nature Center.

Our family learned about Forsyth when the kids were toddlers, and we have been enthusiastic fans of this wonderful place ever since. Here are:

15 REASONS WHY OUR FAMILY ADORES FORSYTH NATURE CENTER Mark DeDea Mark is the brilliant, artistic, hilarious, creative and experienced caretaker of the Forsyth Nature Center. He also appreciates puns, like “Wanna go on a picnic? Alpaca lunch.”

Tulip

This pot-bellied pig is an absolute love with a huge fanbase.

Visibility The critters residing at Forsyth are able to be seen by all sizes of people. The more time our family spends at Forsyth watching and interacting with them, the more we connect with them as individuals. Take Mario the goat: This dude is all personality.

Feedings Visitors are permitted to feed the animals!

Feeding them is just one more way for animals and humans to see and hear each other, so when you visit, bring some carrots, apples, lettuce, spinach, greens and/or plain popcorn.

Intergenerational My own children have been visiting Forsyth since they were toddlers, and they still enjoy going as teens. Forsyth will always feel like “their” animal home base. I imagine some

KIWANIS ICE ARENA

of you have been going for decades!

Volunteering Our family’s interest in Forsyth led to more involvement, including my serving on the Friends of Forsyth Nature Center for awhile, and becoming trained tour guides with the kids, sharing our enthusiasm with guests of all ages and witnessing kids and adults being as excited as we are when a peacock fans its tail. Being a part of the team for events like the Fall Festival (coming up on Sunday, October 7!)

Birds Mark is a knowledgeable birder, and his fascination with them got me into learning about them myself. Bring your bird questions to him; go on a bird walk along the trail near the playground; but, better yet, start by just watching birds through your window or in your yard, and see what you notice. The birds by the Center entrance can be very entertaining.

Tortoises Why is it so mesmerizing to watch Shelby eat? I don’t know, but come see for yourself.

Open 7 days a week with various times for public skating

Public Open Skating Admissions $6 for Adults, $4 for Children 6-18, Children 5 & Under are Free.

Public Drop In Hockey/Sticks & Pucks $8 for Adults, $6 for Children Skate Rentals - $3 a pair. Hockey and Figure Skates available.

Skate Sharpening - $5 a pair

Goats These playful creatures are hysterical, from their romps around the yard to claiming space where another goat is standing to stealing another goat’s intended treat as you stick it through the fence.

Free The Forsyth Nature Center has no entry fee, free parking and is accessible to wheelchairs and strollers.

Sustainability FNC walks the talk, modeling responsible environmental practices with permeable pavers, a solar array, compostable toilets and more.

Snakes Mark likes to call them “necklaces.”

Reactions to snakes tend to be mixed, but I have witnessed people briefly overcome their terror when it’s on his neck.

Informative Bring your phone and listen to the awesome audio tour as you navigate the history, animals, plants and other interesting bits about Forsyth. Want a preview? You can listen at home! Check out the link on the website at http://forsythnaturecenter.org.

Amenities With one parking spot, you can visit the Forsyth Nature Center, get to a bathroom, run around the grassy fields between the Center and the playground, hang out at the playground, hike the trail behind the playground.

Location Seated right in the heart of Kingston, next to Dietz Stadium, the Forsyth Nature Center is an easy stop for a quick nature break during errands (I mean seeing the animals, but like I mentioned, there are also bathrooms); or take your time and stay awhile to recharge. Eat lunch at a picnic table in the Center, take in the sights and sounds around you and exhale.

The Forsyth Nature Center is located at Forsyth Park at 125 Lucas Avenue in

RIVER-TO-RIDGE TRAIL NOW OPEN IN NEW PALTZ

T

hink walking in a meadow, but without itchy ankles. Easy parking at the trailhead, dancing grasses in the breeze, that seasonal scent and a flat gravel path deceive my senses into thinking I’m further away from town than I really am. Where am I? At the new River-to-Ridge Trail in New Paltz!

Thanks to the Open Space Institute, we now have a new spot near the Village for pedestrians, equestrians, jogging strollers and…maybe even wheelchairs? Can anyone share your experience on that? I can’t wait to cross-country ski here!

Cyclists of all ages love the inviting scenery and wide pathways, too. You can even rent bikes for the entire family right on-site: (845) 594-6353, www.npbiking.com. Check out the cool new bike-repair stand in the parking lot.

River-to-Ridge is mostly flat terrain with one slight incline (nothing like Cardiac Hill to Lake Awosting), easy visibility and a decent loop. Or go longer and turn right at the top of that first loop to go down the hill and cross Butterville Road onto Pine Road, where you can connect with Lenape Lane (functional but not officially open yet). When the entire project is finished, it will be a six-mile loop.

Need an infusion of nature, either alone or with your crew? Looking for alternatives to the rail trail? Wishing for a walk or bike ride with easy, open access? Whether you’re Lycra-laden or in your Sunday best, I encourage you to explore the Riverto-Ridge Trail. Consider going this weekend, Saturday, October 6, where the 2018 Wallkill River Festival is being held. Free parking and the trailhead are located at 41 Springtown Road in New Paltz.

Filmmaker Michael Moore in the documentary Fahrenheit 11/9

Cinematic scattershot Michael Moore’s meandering Fahrenheit 11/9 disheartens more than it persuades

T

hough he’s somewhat of a lightning rod even among progressives, filmgoers of a leftish political bent tend to look forward to the next Michael Moore documentary as a welcome tonic in difficult times. Yes, the guy’s an unabashed propagandist, and yes, he has been known to shave a bit off the truth to make his point stick. (Warning: Don’t put too much faith in his claims about the etymology of the term “redneck” in his latest work.) But he’s also a brilliantly agile practitioner of political theater, he’s

earnest about his beliefs and he can be wickedly funny. Some viewers might exit a Michael Moore movie screening with steam coming out of their ears, but no one nods off in the middle.

So, coming as it did the same week that the Brett Kavanaugh hearings plunged many to the left of Attila the Hun into paroxysms of alternating rage and despair, the premiere of Moore’s latest feature, Fahrenheit 11/9, seemed impeccably timed. I regret to report that it’s not the psychic lift hoped for by this reviewer, for one. Your mileage may vary, but I found it one of the documentarian’s weaker efforts, marred mainly by lack of focus.

mostly a takedown of Donald Trump and his policies as lacerating as Moore’s 2004 work Fahrenheit 9/11 was of the George W. Bush administration? Guess again. It starts out with Election Day 2016, asking the question “How did this happen?”

Eventually it sort of gets around to answering it, pointing the finger of blame as much at Democrats as at Republicans.

But the journey between is so meandering that its momentum never really builds up to anything more pithy or profound or insightful than “America is screwed, and fascism is just around the corner.”

Were you expecting a movie that would light a fire under people who are lackadaisical about voting to turn out at the polls for the midterm elections this fall? Alas, Moore didn’t deliver it. His only beacons of hope in Fahrenheit 11/9 are a few renegade grassroots campaigners – mostly young and working-class, and a fair few of them women – plus the kids who survived the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School massacre and the teachers who recently won their strike in West Virginia. But the filmmaker seems to have lost his faith in the importance of wielding the vote, disheartened by the poor turnout in his native Michigan, which went red in 2016.

408 Main Street, Rosendale • rosendaletheatre.org

Following an introductory section documenting hypothesizing that Trump’s presidential bid was incited by envy of Gwen Stefani getting a bigger salary offer from NBC for The Voice than he was for The Apprentice, Moore detours to an extended examination of the Flint, Michigan water crisis. It’s a heartwrenching, infuriating story that really deserves its own movie. He makes us feel for these inner-city kids whose bodies and brains were poisoned and whose futures were sold off for a private firm to make huge profits on building an unnecessary pipeline. In some of the film’s most gripping footage, we meet a whistleblower who had been ordered by her superiors to falsify the results of lead tests of schoolchildren’s blood so that the new water supply from the filthy Flint River could be certified safe. As if that weren’t shocking enough, Moore says that in 2015 the US Army came in without warning and began bombing abandoned buildings in Flint for war simulation drills.

The problem with this long digression is that it’s not allowed to stand on its own merits. Moore is using it to wend his way circuitously around to the argument that Donald Trump’s imperial approach to the presidency was partially inspired by Michigan governor Rick Snyder’s tactic to replace elected officials in the state’s urban areas with appointed “crisis managers”

Oct. 4, 2018 drawn from the business sector. That lethal new pipeline was just one element in a broad-scale privatization of state resources, it seems.

For comic relief, we get to watch Moore try to make a citizen’s arrest of the governor and spray his mansion’s lawn with a tanker-truckload of Flint tapwater. But by the time his point about Snyder’s influence on Trump hits home, the director has launched out on half a dozen other tangents, all presumably supposed to add up to an indictment of us all as fascism-enablers on the level of bourgeois Germans of the 1930s.

Oddly, he avoids any direct reference to Russian hacking of the election, other than a shot or two of Trump cozying up to Putin. Obama, both Clintons and the Democratic Party leadership take a drubbing; only Bernie Sanders comes out smelling like a rose. Mentioning the votesuppressing role that “Bernie-or-busters” played in proliferating false claims about Hillary Clinton introduced by Russian bots on social media is a bridge that Moore apparently isn’t willing to cross.

William Horberg’s “Portraits in Jazz” opens Friday with jazz jam at Cross Contemporary Art

many of the musicians who have inspired him over the years. “Cross Contemporary Art is a beautiful space, and I’m excited for it to be packed with all my musicians. It’s like [photographer] Art Kane’s A Great Day in Harlem-meets-Saugerties.”

In an apparent case of life imitating art imitating life, Horberg has until recently been in Milan, Italy, making a film adaptation of crime writer Charles Willeford’s novel The Burnt Orange Heresy, starring Claes Bang, Donald Sutherland and Mick Jagger. He’ll be on hand for the exhibit’s opening reception on Friday, October 5 from 6 to 9 p.m., which will feature a jazz jam with the Mike DeMicco Trio, featuring Lew Scott and Tani Tabbal, from 7 to 9 p.m.

Inheritance to be screened at Mountain View Studio this Sunday Woodstock documentary filmmaker Cambiz A. Khosravi’s life intersected at an early age with tumultuous world events whose impact we

can still feel to this day. In 1953, as a boy of nine years and living in Tehran, he witnessed the CIA-led overthrow of the democratically elected government of Iran. Then, in 2011, he uncovered his father’s nefarious role in the shaping of that history. Until then, he had only known that his father was finance minister under the Shah’s father, but never his true role.

Inheritance deftly combines the personal and the political toward an understanding of how the 1953 coup and the 1979 Islamic Revolution are linked and the seemingly unending geopolitical blowback that still haunt US relations with the region.

Inheritance will have its local premiere at 7:30 p.m. on Sunday, October 7 at Woodstock’s Mountain View Studio, located at 20 Mountainview Avenue. Khosravi will take questions about the making of the film and the controversies that have followed its international release afterward.

Admission costs $10. The showing is sponsored by the Middle East Crisis Response (www.mideastcrisis.org), Hudson Valley BDS (www.hudsonvalleybds. org), Jewish Voice for Peace-HV (http:// jvphudsonvalley.org) and Veterans for Peace.

New Paltz filmmaker Gail Freedman will be on hand to talk about her documentary about competitive same-sex ballroom dancing, Hot to Trot, this Saturday at Upstate Films and later this month at the Rosendale Theatre.

Hot to Trot is an immersive character study that follows a small international cast of four men and women, on and off the dance floor, over a four-year period. The film has been hailed as an idiosyncratic

New Paltz (at least some parts of it) has been cast as the mysterious, vaguely threatening backwater town of Carp in Amazon’s prospective YA series Panic. And if you look real hard, you just might see someone you know wandering its woodsy paths.

A casting call went out in early September for locals to play some of Carp’s teenaged inhabitants. Scenes featuring approximately 150 people were shot late last week at Minnewaska State Park’s rushing Awosting Falls.

The series is based on Lauren Oliver’s best-selling novel and tells the story of graduating high school seniors who risk their lives in an illegal, high-stakes game that can win them big money and – even more importantly – a chance to escape Carp. Olivia Welch, Mike Faist and Ashlei Sharpe Chestnut star as the series’ leads.

If Panic’s scenario of teenagers in mortal distress competing bravely to escape a dire future sounds a bit familiar, if it makes you hunger for a viewing, no one at Amazon is likely to carp. A release date for the series has not been set.

As if the mid-Hudson Valley in midOctober needed an attraction with eye appeal beyond our autumnal foliage, the Woodstock Film Festival (WFF) will be back for its 19th annual run from Wednesday the 10th through Sunday the 14th. The usual variety of venues in Woodstock, Kingston, Rhinebeck, Saugerties and Rosendale will play host once again to hundreds of screenings, panel discussions, concerts, awards parties and exhibitions that showcase the latest offerings from the ever-bubbling stewpot that is independent cinema.

One of Woodstock’s longtime resident music celebrities is the subject of a documentary getting its North American premiere: Karl Berger – Music Mind. Its screening at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, October 10 at the Woodstock Playhouse, followed by a live performance by the Karl Berger Band, will be the Festival’s kickoff event.

Elizabeth Chomko’s What They Had will be the Opening Night Film, presented at 8:15 p.m. on Thursday, October 11, also at the Playhouse.

The Centerpiece Film will be Paul Dano’s much-anticipated directorial debut, Wildlife, to be shown at 9:45 p.m. on Saturday at the Playhouse and again at 5:30 p.m. on Sunday at the Rosendale Theatre.

There’s plenty more to entice a visit, as always, including a new documentary by the great Barbara Kopple, A Murder in Mansfield, plus more music docs, including Michael Franti’s Stay Human and Mark Maxey’s Up to Snuff, whose star W. G. “Snuffy” Walden will be in attendance.

NATURE See the secret garden Lichen Walk this Saturday at Mountain Top Arboretum

M

ountain Top Arboretum is the best-kept secret that shouldn’t be (shouldn’t be a secret, that is). This public garden situated on 178 acres above Tannersville is a stunning nature sanctuary for anyone interested in horticulture, birding, geology, local craftsmanship, hiking and snowshoeing through its many trails and boardwalks. Historically speaking, it was built up on Devonian bedrock. You can see, here and there, where receding sheets of ice scratched into the great exposed slabs of ancient stone a few hundred million years ago.

The original owners of a summer cottage here, Peter and Bonnie Ahrens, shaped seven acres of land to grow trees in what is now called the West Meadow, for the purpose of discovering the cold-hardiness of various native and exotic species.

Established as a public garden in 1977, the Arboretum grew in size to its current acreage, encompassing meadows, wetlands and forests. The West Meadow is now planted in native grasses, wildflowers and shrubs, with a spiral labyrinth in the middle and mowed paths throughout.

Elsewhere are a woodland walk with an outdoor classroom/amphitheater, the East Meadow with a wet-meadow boardwalk and fern trail. Spruce Glen has Hidden Marsh with a peatforming wetland.

The entire park is haven to wildlife of all kinds, including the humans who meander through.

“The mission of Mountain Top Arbore tum is three-pronged: to practice excellent horticulture, to be a place of education and pleasure for the public and stewardship of the land,” says executive director Marc Wolf. “The Ahrens kept meticulous records on their tree propagation. Now we grow more of what typifies the sense-of-place in the Catskills, showing how beautiful and enjoyable that can be.”

He talks more about various programs held each year: a mushroom class, a lichen walk, animal tracking and other fascinating lectures and activities. Mountain Top

Arboretum has done educational programming from the beginning, but until now, these ran from May to September only. “We had a shed where you could hide from the rain, because even May can be difficult, weatherwise, at an elevation of 2,400 feet. With our new Education Center, we can program year-round: stargazing, a Va l e n t i n e’s Day program, concerts. And we are working to create curriculums with the local school districts, reaching out to do educational programs. We collaborate with Mountain Top Library, Mountain Top Historical Society, 23A Arts and Greene County Water Conservation District. We’re at the top of the watershed here. We want to grow, become a part of the community.”

The nearly finished timber-frame Education Center boasts the design craftsmanship of architect Jack Sobon, a legendary timber-frame guru, and contractor Ronnie Van Valkenburgh. All the pegged framing is exposed, and some of the main upright timbers were cut with their branches intact. “This entire structure is built from trees grown in the Arboretum forest, and from some neighbors who donated trees. We have 21 native tree species represented in this structure,” says Wolf as he sits in the main hall, which opens out onto a bluestone patio.

“Not all species are perfect for using in construction, so this was hard to do. We walked around the forest with the timberframer to decide which tree could be used where. A miller cut and shaped the wood at a mill in the Berkshires.” He holds a key that shows where each species of tree is used in the hall. “We’ll have a native tree walk to see these trees in nature. Even the floor is made from our trees: ash, sugar maple, yellow birch and black cherry.”

Outside, he points to the roof shingles, made of recycled material and looking like they’ll last forever. The building’s

foundation is sheathed in stone that was removed from the ground when digging the basement. Small rain gardens surrounding the building hold water runoff and funnel it downhill to a stream.

“Author and landscape architect Jamie Purinton designed the planting plan for the rain gardens, in which we try to use all Northeast US native plants; but also, around the building we’re trying to use all Catskills native plants. I find them more beautiful than plants brought in, and they’re more valuable to the ecosystem. It’s not that they’re no work. But they use less water and fertilizer because they’re adapted to these sites.”

And speaking of water, the basement holds nine 1,550-gallon tanks of reserve water. “With these, when we water, we’re not draining the well all at once. Before, we could only run one sprinkler at a time on the property. These tanks help with water pressure, so we can run more than one at a time. We only put sprinklers out where I have new plantings. Basically, we water plants to get them established, and then they’re on their own. If the lawn goes dry, it goes dry.”

Wolf, who has held this position since the spring of 2016, went to professional

horticulture school at the New York Botanical Garden, where he studied and worked with one of the foremost nativeplant ecological landscape architects, Darrel Morrison. He also did an internship with the Chanticleer Garden outside Philadelphia. At the Arboretum, he works with a small staff, including a part-time gardener. The Education Center is not open every day, so check the website for specific programs and activities being offered.

Dr. James Lendemer of the New York Botanical Garden will lead a Lichen Walk this Saturday, October 6 from 10 a.m. to noon. Join this lichen scientist and raconteur on an exploration of the lichens found throughout the Arboretum property.

Learn about the ecological importance of the beautiful blue, green, gray and red organisms that encrust trees and rocks.

The fee for the Lichen Walk is $10 general admission, free to members.

ALMANAC WEEKLY

Oct. 4, 2018

ERICA’S CANCER JOURNEY

Pinktober “So far, you’ve survived 100 percent of your worst days. You’re doing great.”

“Chemo: best Brazilian ever!”

P

umpkin spice. Falling leaves. Halloween. Pink.

Pink? Yes, because that’s the color representing Breast Cancer Awareness Month. October is here, which means pink-infused everything. I have two teeny-tiny issues with that: 1. Just because something is pink doesn’t mean that there is money to be donated behind it, despite the implication.

2. Only two to five percent of breast cancer research funds go to metastatic, advanced stages like mine: Stage IV. Metastasis means the cancer has spread to another part of the body from its original site.

For example, I have brain tumors, but it’s not brain cancer.

It’s breast cancer taking up residency in my brain. The only level of breast cancer that kills is Stage IV. If we cure that, we heal everybody at every stage of it! And if you’re looking to make a difference through a donation to a reputable breast cancer organization, I recommend METAvivor (www. metavivor.org) because the funding goes to research of already metastasized patients: “Our mission is to transition metastatic breast cancer from a terminal diagnosis to a chronic, manageable disease with a decent quality of life.”

Since 30 percent of breast cancer patients will metastasize, METAvivor believes that at least 30 percent of the funds given to breast cancer organizations should be dedicated to metastatic breast cancer, which would help at all levels.

support groups, information and conferences for all levels of breast cancer.

BCO also offers a free annual metastatic cancer retreat; a free annual retreat for children with parents who have experienced any level of breast cancer, Camp Lightheart; and patient advocacy for folks who want support during tests and appointments. I don’t know what I would do without them. They were my first call after my diagnosis. Located in Kingston, Breast Cancer Options can be reached at (845) 339-HOPE (4673), or visit www.breastcanceroptions.org.

• Sparrow’s Nest is an organization that feeds families for free, and it has been a godsend to our crew. Its mission statement: “Sparrow’s Nest of the Hudson Valley provides two meals, once a week, to the families of caregivers and children diagnosed with any type of cancer. Caregivers are defined as legal guardians of children, under the age of 18, living in the home. Caregivers and/ or children diagnosed with any cancer that requires chemotherapy, radiation or surgery qualify. All recipients must live within a 35-mile radius of the charity’s Health Department-approved kitchen in Wappingers Falls.” Feel like signing up takes food away from someone else who needs it more? No! There’s plenty for everyone; all families with minor children impacted by cancer are strongly encouraged to connect. And it’s free. Sparrow’s Nest can be reached at (845) 204-9421, or visit https:// sparrowsnestcharity.org.

much more. Anyone with any type of cancer is welcome, no matter where you are treated, and most programs are free.

The Reuner Cancer Support House is located at 80 Mary’s Avenue in Kingston.

For more information, call (845) 3392071 or visit www.hahv.org/cancersupport-house.

All of that said, I am more than my cancer, and so are my peers enduring this disease at any stage. We are more than ribbons, colors and budgets, just as October is more than Cookie Month, International Drum Month and Sarcastic Month, and you are more than the challenges in your life. Thanks for being here. Have some Rumi on me:

• The Herbert H. and Sofia P. Reuner Cancer Support House is a lifeline to me. I attend a support group there and appreciate their many programs, including writing groups, information sessions such as end-of-life directives, which I have not seen elsewhere, and

The Guest House This being human is a guest house.

Every morning a new arrival.

A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor.

Welcome and entertain them all!

Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows, who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture, still, treat each guest honorably.

He may be clearing you out for some new delight.

The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing, and invite them in.

Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.

– Rumi Head On and Heart Strong!

ADVERTISING SALES REPRESENTATIVE US: Ulster Publishing is an independent, locally owned media company. It began in 1972 with the Woodstock Times, and now publishes the New Paltz Times, Kingston Times and Saugerties Times, plus Almanac Weekly, an arts & entertainment guide, and Hudson Valley One, a regional news and entertainment site.

Ulster Publishing has a mission: to reflect and enrich our communities. Our content is 100-percent local – locally written, photographed, edited, printed and distributed. We publicize local businesses and encourage our readers to shop local. We publicize local events because we want our communities to be vibrant places where people come together. We don’t just write about the controversy, but the good news too, because we love these communities and we want readers to know about the great people who live here. We don’t just write about our communities, we’re part of them.

PO Box 1488, Kingston, NY 12401 845.336.7235 • Fax 845.336.7248 Serving Ulster, Greene & Northern Dutchess Counties

YOU: A self-motivated and energetic person who cares about local businesses and wants to help them succeed because thriving local businesses are part of what makes the Hudson Valley (or any place) special. You like to shop locally and eat at locally-owned restaurants. You tend to feel invested in the success of these enterprises, sometimes thinking of ways they could better promote themselves and reach more potential customers.

DIRECT SUPPORT PROFESSIONALS/CARE AIDS NEW PALTZ, ELLENVILLE, KINGSTON & SAUGERTIES Perfect opportunity for individuals who want to make a difference by working with individuals with developmental disabilities lead a more independent life. No experience needed – we provide paid training. A clean, valid New York State driver’s license, GED/high school diploma and the ability to pass the Medication Administration Certification test is required.

You believe in community journalism and want it to succeed as well because, like local business, it helps preserve a sense of place. In a time of media consolidation and fake news, there’s something charming and essential about an independent local media company with fact-checked writers on the ground and in the trenches.

You’re aware that advertising options have multiplied for local businesses, but believe local media can offer something unique. You can sum up the pros and cons of those options and explain where a hyperlocal print and digital media campaign fits in.

(That’s what you’re selling.)

Full time, part time and on-call positions available.

To apply, contact Patti at pbodenweber@cpulster.org or call 336-7235 x 2126. Open Interviews on Mondays 10 am to noon – call for directions.

LOCATION: Office in Uptown Kingston, but we are flexible.

AREA: Mostly Ulster and Dutchess counties, as well as some adjacent areas.

COMPENSATION: Base + commission. Pay commensurate with experience.

Help keep local journalism strong.

The business of media is changing, but local, on-the-ground, fact-checked journalism is needed now more than ever. We believe it’s important for the entire community, regardless of economic position, to have access to the local news that impacts their lives most. That’s why we don’t place our online content behind a paywall. But good, local journalism costs money to produce. That’s where you come in. We’re asking our online readers: If you value what we do, please consider making a contribution at hudsonvalleyone.com/support. Your help will ensure independent, locally owned journalism will continue to thrive in your community.
