“Gerrymandering” art show opens Saturday at Storefront Gallery The Storefront Gallery in Kingston’s Rondout District presents “Gerrymandering: Pick Your Shape and Run with It,” a group show in which more than a dozen accomplished artists were asked to interpret the practice of gerrymandering through their art. Critics of the practice often cite

the outlandish shapes that emerge from gerrymandered districts. These shapes and the concept behind it have become the inspiration for all of the participating artists.

The opening reception will be held on Saturday, November 3 during Kingston’s popular First Saturday Art Gallery Walk. The exhibition will be on view through November 17. Gallery hours are by appointment and 24/7 through the storefront windows.

MUSIC New name, new mission WCO reincarnates as Woodstock Symphony Orchestra

T

wo years ago, as the new music director of the Woodstock Chamber Orchestra, Jonathan Handman decided that he had two central missions with the orchestra. The first was to lead the best possible performances. The second was to

Shawn Colvin to perform at Levon Helm Studios in Woodstock enlarge the orchestra’s audience. They were, of course, connected: The better the concerts, the more people they would draw. But Handman also wanted to perform music people would want to hear.

The chamber orchestra could play Mozart and Haydn, and maybe Beethoven, but certainly not Schumann, Brahms and Dvorák. It needed to expand.

O

ne of the real luminaries of the confessional singer/songwriter tradition, Shawn Colvin may have arrived a decade or two too late to have enjoyed the peak of the form, but her early records Steady On and A Few Small Repairs are straight-up classics of the genre, both in the literate and quietly transgressive quality of the songs and in their sophisticated, elegant musical settings, which put them in the elite company of the best of Paul Simon and Joni Mitchell. With local star Simi Stone opening, Shawn Colvin performs at the Levon Helm Studios on Friday, November 9.

Over Handman’s tenure, the Woodstock Chamber Orchestra has indeed performed Beethoven, Schumann, Brahms and Dvorák, gradually adding more players.

By the end of last season, it had become obvious that this was no longer a chamber orchestra. And at the last concert of last season, the orchestra’s executive director, Dana Marks, announced a new mission and a new name: the Woodstock Symphony Orchestra.

Within the available season of four concerts, Handman intends to present as wide a variety of music as he can. The opening concert of the 2018/19 season includes music by Suppé, Borodin, Smetana and, yes, Beethoven: the beloved “Pastorale,” Symphony No. 6.

It’s something of a “top pops” orchestral concert, and will probably attract a good-sized audience to the Woodstock Playhouse.

The remainder of the season, which takes place at four different venues, will include Sibelius’ Second Symphony

But it also includes somewhat-lesser-known works, such as Offenbach’s Orpheus in the Underworld Overture and Dvorák’s Eighth Symphony, a masterpiece that is not the “New World” Symphony. In the future, Handman hopes to explore the legacy of past Woodstock Chamber Orchestra commissions by well-known local composers, along with similarly attractive but lesser-known music – music that only a true symphony orchestra can perform.

Known for his colorful narrative songcraft and engaging performances, Eaglesmith claims no fewer than 18 solo records, including 2018’s bizarre and impressive Standard, which alternates between naked, unvarnished performances and trippy production pieces. The Los Angeles Times declared Eaglesmith “one of the genre’s most gifted lyricists and wildly entertaining performers.” Tickets cost $25.

worthy and listenable extensions of Sonic Youth’s innovations: expansive, exploratory guitar rock that teases with pop built off a bed of VU cool, and then takes you as far out into sonic agitations and novel guitar abuse as you care to go.

In New Noise Guitar Explorations, Moore focuses on the 12-string guitar.

He is joined by James Sedwards (who has been playing in Moore’s band since 2014), by longtime associate Sonic Youth drummer Steve Shelley and, as if to make this unbearably huge for fans of avantnoise rock, My Bloody Valentine’s Deb Googe. Music critic and spoken-word artist Byron Coley is on hand for some spiel.

MOVIE Rosendale Theatre screens Lotte Reiniger’s Adventures of Prince Achmed this Sunday

A valiant prince and an imperiled princess, shapeshifting sorcerers and a fairy with magical plumage, a flying horse and a flying palace, a caliph, an emperor, various demons and genies and a poor tailor named Aladdin: All are to be found in the earliest surviving full-length animated film, Lotte Reiniger’s The Adventures of Prince Achmed, based on stories and characters from One Thousand and One Nights. The groundbreaking silent movie took three years to make (19231926), using individual shots of cutout cardboard silhouettes at 24 frames per second, and two years to restore (1998-1999).

This exquisite film is rarely seen, so it’s a special treat that the Rosendale Theatre will be screening it a 2 p.m. on November 4 as the latest installment in its monthly Silent Film Sundays series.

Marta Waterman will provide live accompaniment on piano. Admission costs $6. To learn more, visit www. rosendaletheatre.org.

Free screening of Deep Water in New Paltz Willow-based documentarian Tobe Carey has produced an impressive body of work over the years, largely dealing with local history of the Catskills and mid-Hudson region. The saga of the building of the Ashokan and Schoharie Reservoirs, the Shandaken Tunnel and the Catskill Aqueduct is explored in his 45-minute film Deep Water: Building the Catskill Water System.

Narrated by Robb Webb (the voice of 60 Minutes II), Deep Water documents how several Catskill Mountain towns were destroyed and flooded, how immigrant workers built the dams and tunnels and how brilliant engineering and political maneuvering allowed the system to be built. The soundtrack includes music, including reservoir work songs, performed by Abby Newton, Al Petteway and Amy White, Cindy Cashdollar, Zoe Zak, Artie Traum, Bill Keith, Robbie Dupree and John Herald.

The New Paltz Historical Society will host a free screening of Deep Water at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, November 7 at the New Paltz Community Center. Producer/ director Carey will be on hand, and refreshments will be served.

NIGHT SKY

Bucketlist sky phenomena

W

ho doesn’t enjoy looking at towering orange cumulus clouds in the late afternoon sun? Or a brilliant meteor flashing across the sky? Or the Milky Way away from city lights?

Such sights are common in some seasons, but not others. Towering cumulus clouds are frequent in summer, but rare in winter. The Milky Way is prominent every autumn, but absent in the spring. Meteors are far more prevalent from August through December than during the rest of the year.

Yet, other gorgeous sky apparitions can happen anytime and, despite not requiring telescopes, still manage to be rarely observed. Some of these are nearly mythical. So here are my top six sky apparitions that belong on everyone’s bucket list, most of which appear in your own backyard.

6. The Northern Lights If you live in a big city and refuse to travel, forget this one. But if you’re willing to go to Alaska (join us, some year!) or merely have patience, you’ll see the fabled lights.

From here, there’s a good display in all rural locations once a decade or so. You’ll see aurora predictions in the media a day in advance, based on sudden solar storms sending material in our direction. But you’re out of luck if the Moon is nearly full.

5. Cloud iridescence This is much more easily seen through sunglasses. Simply look at the white fringes of clouds in the vicinity of the Sun, especially high-altitude clouds. Before too long you’ll observe strange non-spectral colors. Such non-prismatic hues mean colors never seen in a rainbow! We’re talking about an odd brownish yellow-orange, aquamarine, purple, maroon…wow, they can amaze and astound. Such cloud iridescence appears weekly. It’s not rare at all. It’s caused by diffraction: the same process that produces swirly psychedelic colors on oily roadside puddles.

4. The Circumzenithal Arc More vivid than a rainbow, and featuring the same colors, this brilliant arc appears nearly straight overhead and always takes one’s breath away. It’s invariably oriented like a smile, not a frown like the rainbow exhibits. It appears a few times a month. Simply look nearly straight up, directly above the lowish Sun whenever the sky has thin ice layers or thin cirrus clouds. The CZA best appears when the Sun is between 15 and 27 degrees high: a situation seen this month, after Sunday’s clock change, between 1:30 and 3 p.m.

In Modified: A Food Lover’s Journey into GMOs (2017) a filmmaker and her mother embark on a poignant investigative journey to find out why genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are not labeled on food products in the US and Canada, despite being labeled in 64 countries around the world. Interweaving the personal and the political, the film is anchored in the filmmaker’s relationship to her mom, a gardener and food activist who battled cancer during the film’s production. Their intimate quest for

answers, fueled by a shared love of food, reveals the extent to which the agribusiness industry controls our food policies, making a strong case for a more transparent and sustainable food system.

Time & Space Limited will screen Modified at 7:45 p.m. on Friday, November 9, to be followed by a panel discussion featuring the film’s director/ producer, Aube Giroux; Andrianna Natsoulas, executive director of the Northeast Organic Farming Association of New York; and Jody Bolluyt of Roxbury Farm in Kinderhook.

3. Mammatus clouds These dramatic bulging clouds hang below storm clouds. If the sunlight angle is low, they can be mind-blowing. They appear a few times a year for those who regularly watch the sky.

2. The Green Flash The final speck of the red setting Sun sometimes turns vivid emerald-green for a few seconds before it too has set. It’s best-seen when the Sun is vanishing below a true horizon, like at sea or through a jet window. I’ve looked for it at sunset for decades, perhaps 300 times, and seen it about 30 times. If my experience is typical, expect success during ten percent of all sunsets. Don’t expect an actual flash. I did see that once, but normally the green is a quiet metamorphosis that could be missed if you’re not looking carefully.

1. The total solar eclipse Because it is the most magnificent of all of these, it’s the ultimate bucket-list apparition.

It’s the rarest of these phenoms by far. It appears in your backyard once every 360 years, on average. There’s usually one a year somewhere on Earth, confined to a narrow strip.

The next three will happen in Chile in 2019, Chile again in 2020 and Antarctica in 2021. The next one around here will take place on April 8, 2024, visible from Buffalo, Syracuse and Burlington. Our immediate region will then see a partial eclipse: a common phenomenon that cannot be looked at directly and doesn’t make our list.

STAGE Love at the edge of reason Hudson Hall to present Storyhorse Documentary Theater’s The Face of It

A

big part of the excitement over Midtown Kingston’s transformation into an arts hub over the past couple of years has hinged on the redevelopment of the former MetLife building on Greenkill Avenue into a film production and postproduction facility, “makerspace” and vocational training center called Stockade Works. The brains behind Stockade Works are actor/directors Mary Stuart Masterson and Jeremy Davidson. Busy as that project has been keeping them, the couple have somehow managed to continue developing new stagework via their Storyhorse Documentary Theater. Recent projects have included celebrating family farmers in Good Dirt in 2016 and unraveling a truelife local murder mystery in The Curious Murder of Frank L. Teal this past spring.

Storyhorse’s latest effort is a cluster of three new one-act documentary plays about love at the edge of reason, inspired by real conversations with Hudson Valley residents, collectively titled The Face of It. The three playlets are The Call of the Sasquatch, based on recorded Sasquatch hunts with Gayle Beatty and psychic medium Johnny Angel; In Her Shoes, in which Ulster County BOCES principal Gary Suraci and Genna Suraci visit their mother Lena in a Poughkeepsie nursing home and step into a new stage of life together; and The Weight, wherein a young woman from Ballston Lake is forced to make an impossible choice that challenges her relationship to God and family.

THIS WAS AN ERA WHEN LARGE, CLUNKY CAMERAS were not allowed into small, intimate Paris haute couture salons, so correspondents had to bring artists with them, and the ability to sketch very quickly was at a premium.

The beauty of couture and corn

Eula: Master of 20th-Century Fashion Illustration, recounts a notorious fashion-industry tale of “when he went to a Saint Laurent couture show, but after three looks he got up and said, ‘This sucks,’ and it caused a huge scandal…

But…they still stayed friends.” Another thing that Eula unabashedly hated, and said so, was the look of Davenport Farms’ roadside advertising. So he offered to paint them some new signs, and with a few well-placed brushstrokes,

n our harvest-season road trips, we’re typically in quest of the most sublime cider donut, our favorite fleeting heirloom variety of apple, a perfectly carvable pumpkin, the weirdest, squiggliest ornamental gourds to arrange as a centerpiece. Spotting business advertising with outstanding graphic design is generally not a prime motivating factor. But when one drives past Davenport Farms’ stand at the corner of Route 209 and Cottekill Road in Stone Ridge, it’s tough not to be arrested by the stylishness of the signage. The boldly sketched black-on-white images change seasonally; perhaps the most iconic is that half-shucked ear of corn (Davenports’ sweet corn being a perennial contender for the crown of Best in the Hudson

in that field, the late Joe Eula (19252004), long kept a country house in nearby Lomontville. According to Bruce Davenport, Eula had been a friend of his father for many years, and got to know Bruce in the 1990s.

By all accounts, Eula was a man who was not at all shy about letting it be known, quite loudly, whether he loved or hated something, aesthetically speaking.

Joe Eula led a remarkable life.

Raised in hard times by a widowed Connecticut storekeeper, he won a Bronze Star chasing Nazis on skis in the Apennines as part of the fabled 10th Mountain Division during World War II. (His nickname for his mother, captured in his wartime letters home, was Fatty.) Success in the fashion world came quickly after his return stateside; Town & Country magazine and Saks Fifth Avenue were already buying his illustrations while he was still enrolled in the Art Students’ League in the latter half of the 1940s. By the mid-’50s he was a regular illustrator for Eugenia Sheppard’s influential column Inside Fashion, which appeared in the New York Herald Tribune and was syndicated to more than 80 newspapers. The works of Dior, Chanel, Givenchy, St. Laurent, Versace, Lagerfeld and all the other rising star designers of the mid-20 th century were his subject matter.

This was an era when large, clunky cameras were not allowed into small, intimate Paris haute couture salons, so correspondents had to bring artists with them, and the ability to sketch very quickly was at a premium.

By the 1950s, Eula was already swept up into a world of glamour and celebrity and decadent partying. He became friends and later operated a joint studio with photographer Milton Greene, known largely for his sessions with Marilyn Monroe. Together they hung out in jazz clubs, and Eula went on to design the album cover for Miles Davis’ Sketches of Spain. Concert posters became an area of interest, beginning with Davis; his designs for the Supremes and for Liza Minelli’s Liza with a Z tour are among his best-known. Lauren Bacall was a frequent subject. Impressed

by Eula’s posters for a National Farm Workers’ Union benefit, choreographer Jerome Robbins invited him to design costumes for his ballets Dances at a Gathering and Goldberg Variations.

Later on, Eula became a fixture of the glittery club scene at Studio 54.

Eula got to know Andy Warhol quite early in the latter’s career as a shoe designer. According to biographer Horyn, “Warhol once called Eula ‘the most important person’ in New York, saying, ‘He knows everybody who’s anybody…all the really chic people.’” The illustrator is also credited with having introduced Warhol to the designer Halston, for whom Eula served as creative director throughout his 1970s heyday, playing a huge role in shaping the Halston label’s flowing, unfussy signature look. His New York Times obituary terms Eula an “instigator and provocateur” during his decade with Halston: a heady time when the fashion house was even redesigning jets for Braniff International Airways.

MUROFF KOTLER VISUAL ARTS GALLERY ERNEST SHAW: THE FORM OF SHADOWS November 16 – December 14 Opening Reception: November 16 5:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.

Local resident Ernest Shaw will be exhibiting recent photography in his show, THE FORM OF SHADOWS. This exhibit is primarily focused on photography, a “new” medium in his 50 year career with sculpture, paintings, and drawings. The photographs integrate his lifelong concerns with mortality, the nature of the “self” and shadow, and the relentless search for integration and wholeness, particularly in the consequences of action and gestures, of moments and eons. One of these series, ‘Are we flesh or wood?’ explores our fundamental unity and relatedness with the natural world, of life with death. The photographs, primarily visual, are also deeply grounded in our psychological condition, our relationship to ever changing time and place. These themes resonate with Shaw’s other career as psychiatrist, psychotherapist, and long-time teacher of mindfulness meditation practices. As Shaw has written, “articulate compassion is common... silence is the dialogue of centuries.” This body of work asks, “are we one, or two... or none?” This event is free.

If Vaux could talk Considering the other half of the Central Park design team No one dies without leaving a story for us to discover and savor. The Dead Beat intends to search out, find and report those stories. The story may reside in a survivor’s heart or a victim’s last words. It may be legend or it may be fact. It may be recorded in stone or on yellowing newsprint. It may warm the heart or break it.

It may explain a lifetime or illuminate a single moment in that lifetime. It may tell us more about the living than the dead, more about ourselves and the way we live than the way that others have died.

H

e was a farmer working 125 acres on the south shore of Staten Island.

It wasn’t his strong suit. He’d worked several other farms unsuccessfully, after having been an apprentice merchant seaman. He was best-known as a travel writer and horticultural expert. But there wasn’t much money in writing, so he’d turned once again to farming. And if it hadn’t been for a fortuitous meeting in 1857 with an ambitious young British architect at a party in Newburgh, he always said that he’d have remained a farmer all his life. The Staten Island farmer’s name was Frederick Law Olmsted, the visionary landscape architect whose name is forever associated in the popular imagination with New York’s Central Park.

But Olmsted had a partner in creating Central Park: the Newburgh partygoer who rescued him from anonymity. His name was Calvert Vaux – a name largely and unjustly forgotten both then and now, though many argue that his genius was at least the equal of his friend Olmsted’s. Vaux lies buried in Kingston’s Montrepose Cemetery beneath a stone marker as modest as was the man.

If Vaux (rhymes with “hawks”) did nothing more than rescue Olmsted from obscurity and into a career as America’s best-known landscape architect, he would deserve the world’s appreciation. But he did much more than that.

Vaux was an up-and-coming architect and landscape designer, the friend, student and ultimately the business partner of Andrew Jackson Downing, mid-19th-century America’s preeminent landscape architect and horticulturalist. Downing, who lived and worked in Newburgh, was also a mentor of Olmsted’s, whose book on horticulture he admired. Vaux met Olmsted at Downing’s Newburgh home, and the two men got on smashingly. (This was also where Vaux met his wife, Mary McEntee of Kingston, sister of Hudson River School painter Jervis McEntee.)

Vaux had been impressed with Olmsted’s horticultural studies and writings about English landscaping traditions. Both men favored a “naturalistic” approach to the nascent practice of landscape architecture. Vaux became convinced that, though his new friend had no training in design or architecture, his charismatic presence and political and social connections would perfectly match his own talents and abilities – especially when it came to convincing the city fathers of the need for such a park.

Though at first dubious, Olmsted agreed. The men’s “Greensward Plan” for a grand English-style park in a 778-acre no-man’s-land of pig farms, quarries and swamps between the ever-growing city of New York and the tiny village of Harlem was launched in 1858.

Together, the two young men would make Vaux’s – and Downing’s – dream come true. It was a dream that faced enormous obstacles, some natural and some man-made.

Several hundred thousand trees were planted and more than three million cubic yards of soil moved, according to the park’s website. Pedestrian and carriage roads wound through large meadows, past several lakes and a large reservoir. The project employed 20,000 laborers over the course of 15 years.

Vaux, who had moved from Newburgh to New York with his wife and four children, was Central Park’s anchor. He had constant battles with petty bureaucrats and the City’s gentry, who wanted to make the park their private domain.

According to an essay by Suzanne Spellen in Brownstoner, Olmsted’s deep Yankee roots and talent for public speaking made him the project’s frontman. Though Vaux had become an American citizen, Spellen contends that he was still “a Brit,” the subject of much Yankee suspicion. As a result, Olmsted became the face of the project: a fact that likely explains at least in part why Vaux’s name and contribution may have been lost to the popular imagination.

Calvert Vaux (below) and his grave (above) at Montrepose Cemetery in Kingston

The two men founded the partnership of Olmsted, Vaux and Company in 1865. It lasted seven years, during which time they created an astonishing number of city parks, all following the same architectural and horticultural principles on which they drew for Central Park. They designed Prospect Park and Fort Greene Park in Brooklyn. They designed three parks in Buffalo, including Delaware, Front and what is now Martin Luther King, Jr. Park. And in 1871, near the end of their official partnership, they returned to the Hudson River region to design the grounds for Poughkeepsie’s Hudson River State Hospital for the Insane.

Vaux dissolved the partnership in 1872, but the two remained friends for the rest of their lives. If Vaux resented the glowing reputation that his partner enjoyed over the years, he never made it public.

Vaux remained in New York, where he continued to practice architecture, designing buildings throughout the 1880 and ’90s. Though many of those buildings were admired in their day, none could ever hope to match his vast, sweeping work with Olmsted.

Though the dream of Central Park had long been a reality, Vaux – sometimes joined

by Olmsted – had to wage many difficult battles with city politicians and bureaucrats eager to “improve” on that dream.

In 1889, the two men agreed to donate their services to the City of Newburgh to create a 35-acre park on a single condition: that the park be named after their friend and mentor, Andrew Jackson Downing. It was their final project together. In 1895, Vaux drowned in Brooklyn’s Gravesend Bay, the same year that Olmsted was forced to retire from his practice due to “senility.” He died at a psychiatric hospital outside of Boston in 1903.

It might have seemed laughable at the beginning of their partnership that an unsuccessful farmer would one day eclipse the accomplishments of the dazzling young Brit who had convinced him to put down the plow. Stranger legends have been born of lesser men, but few have ever produced such glories as the works of Olmsted and Vaux and Company.

KIDS' ALMANAC

KINGSTON MODEL RAILROAD CLUB OPEN HOUSE, HUDSON VALLEY RAILROAD SOCIETY EXPO

T Did 2017’s delightful Pixar animated film Coco pique your interest in el Día de los Muertos (the Day of the Dead), Latin America’s upbeat folkloric celebration of deceased loved ones that combines elements of Halloween and All Souls’ Day? Maybe you’re not quite ready to build an ofrenda in your own living room, look up recipes for pan de muerto or play mariachi music at your grandparents’ gravesite, but you have a variety of opportunities in the region this week to participate in organized Día de los Muertos activities that’ll give you tastes of the holiday’s authentic flavor. Here, in chronological order, are some places to start learning about how to do it right: Día de los Muertos Goshen (bring family photos) Thursday, Nov. 1 6-8 p.m.

Free 890 Pulaski Hwy. Goshen Día de los Muertos Kingston (ofrenda-building, craft activities) Friday, Nov. 2 4-7 p.m.

oy trains still exert a fascination over the young and the young-at-heart. Want to meet up with other model railroad enthusiasts, or take your kids to see a really amazing layout and stoke the furnace of a potential lifelong hobby? Here are a few options to pursue over the next few weeks: On weekend afternoons through November and into early December, the 81-year-old Kingston Model Railroad Club will be hosting an Open House featuring a complete O-scale railroad system in action; scale models of steam and diesel locomotives; old-fashioned and modern trains; complete villages and scenery; a railroad museum; trolleys; a circus train; and for the littles, Thomas the Tank Engine, of course. Admission costs $6 for adults, $2 for children under 12.

Kingston Model Railroad Club Open House, Saturdays/Sundays through Dec. 2, noon-5 p.m., $6/$2, Kingston Model Railroad Club, Susan St., Kingston, (845) 334-8233, https://bit.ly/2Jqjpq3

hen, on Sunday, November 11 from 10 to 3 p.m., the Hudson Valley Railroad Society (HVRRS) hosts its 47th annual Railroad Exposition at the Mid-Hudson Civic Center. On display at the expo, you’ll see 20,000 square feet of operating scale-model train layouts, ranging from the tiny Z to the big 1½ inch-scale that kids love to sit in to have their picture taken. Also on view are N, HO, O and G scales, Lionel, trolleys, slot-car tracks, railroad clinics, film screenings, a flea market…and, of course, Thomas.

Tickets cost $6 for adults, $3 for ages 11 and under at the door. All proceeds benefit the ongoing restoration and operation of the 1914 Hyde Park Railroad Station Museum, which has National Historical designation and turns 104 years old this year.

For more info, visit the HVRRS website at www.hydeparkstation.com/hvrsshow.html or call (845) 518-0635.

[Munch munch] Eating is a common sound at our house, but things ramped up because we had an exchange student with us this weekend.

Me: Want to check out an American grocery store?

Student: Sure. [three bags later] Student: Wow! [unpacks delicious, sugary carbs] My embittered family suddenly offline: How come we never get tubs of cookie dough? [scarfs down large bites before the supply line gets cut off by the purveyor] For one year, we get to experience life with a teen from Europe. Over the past eight years since we hosted our last student, a lot has changed – like tightened travel requirements, the election of Barack Obama and the releases of Deadpools 1 and 2.

Our student has a dedicated space, she’s motivated to learn her studies and about the world and she feels like a part of our family already. Her language skills happen to be terrific, and better than any of ours.

which means “ambulance.” It’s such a fun word to say; try it and go full-throttle guttural: “Kronk-en-vogg-en.”

Food is an easy topic to explore, because we all need to eat. For example, as many of you already know, Smarties in Canada are terrible counterfeit M&Ms, as opposed to the delicious sweet-and-sour delights of US Smarties. Everyone in our household seems to agree on the perfection of Nutella and cookie dough. But even more than food, the cultural sharings continue to enrich our family. Exchange students and host families are gifted with an intimate opportunity to see life through someone else’s viewpoint, such as why some of us don’t just pick up and drive to Barcelona, or why our drinking age minimums are so different.

I dream of my kids being immersed in

another country like my parents provided for me, and hosting can be one step toward giving it a go. Studying abroad can demonstrate independence for college and job applications, reinforce language studies or introduce a new one, and provide lifelong memories not achievable any other way.

Challenges to hosting an exchange student include accepting an additional person into our living space. We don’t have a large home, and we cannot access certain areas while our student is here, so we work around it. Rhythms take time to establish, such as our family’s mealtimes, which are all over the place and can be hard for a guest to adjust to.

Some friendships just take a while. My dog barks – a lot, especially for our student who lives with six cats.

I think the most difficult aspect of hosting an exchange student involves any homesickness they have, despite the creature comforts and ample chocolate supplies. Actually, for me, the truly hardest part is saying goodbye at the end.

Exchange programs can be done independently, through American Field Service (contact me to refer you to a local person for AFS) and many other opportunities, as well as for various of lengths of time. I think a year can be intimidating for some, in which case a shorter time frame might work great for

“O

n September 28, 1917, about 400 people of New Paltz gathered to bid farewell to our first drafted men, Edward R. Platz, Clinton Bell, Myron Simpson and Ervie S. Smith. The general committee led by Troop B of Albany, at that time doing guard duty along the aqueduct, escorted them to the Opera House. A local drum corps furnished marching music. Appropriate exercises were held, consisting of music and an address by John Eckert of Kingston, and a plea for everyone to buy Liberty Bonds. A collection of over $400 was secured to supply the conscripts with tobacco and other comforts not supplied by the government. Our local fire department presented each man with a carton of cigarettes. These exercises were followed by a dance, which was enjoyed by all.”

“Again, ten months later, another reception was given by the Firemen to the boys drafted at this time. Refreshments were served, patriotic songs sung and speeches made. A farewell demonstration was given to the selected men, consisting of a parade of citizens, the fire company and New York guards. A large flag was carried into which money was thrown along the march. This money was given to the boys. The next day, July 24, 1918, the boys were taken by automobiles to Kingston and inducted into service at the Kingston Armory.”

Carol Johnson and Margaret Stanne of the Haviland-Heidgerd Historical Collection at the Elting Memorial Library in New Paltz will give a talk on “New Paltz in World War I,” describing what life was like at home and on the front lines. Included will be excerpts from soldiers’ letters home, photographs of soldiers guarding the aqueduct from terrorists, and the work of the New Paltz Chapter of the Red Cross.

World War I, also called the First World War or the Great War, was an international conflict that from 1914 to 1918 embroiled most of the nations of Europe along with Russia, the US, the Middle East and other regions. The war pitted the Central Powers – Germany, Austria-Hungary and Turkey – against the Allies: France, Great Britain, Russia, Italy, Japan and, beginning in 1917, the US. It ended with the defeat of the Central Powers. The war was virtually unprecedented in the slaughter, carnage and destruction that it caused.

World War I also brought about massive social upheaval, as millions of women entered the workforce to support men who went to war and to replace those who never came back. The first global war also helped to spread one of the world’s deadliest global pandemics: the Spanish flu epidemic of 1918, which killed an estimated 50 million people.

The program will be held in Steinberg Room at the Elting Memorial Library at 4 p.m. on Sunday, November 4. The Elting Library is located at 93 Main Street in New Paltz. The program is free and open to the public. For more information, call (845) 255-5030.

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

Cyclamen and bluestem reward patience

I

’ll admit to being an addict. But my addiction – to propagating plants – is benign. It pains me to throw away an interesting seed or pruned-off stem; either can grow into a whole new plant: anything from a charming little flower to a towering tree.

Case in point are some cyclamen seeds I collected and sowed a couple of years ago.

The mother plant is Cyclamen hederifolium, a species that differs from the large potted cyclamens that you now see offered in garden centers, hardware stores, even supermarkets. Cyclamen hederifolium is cold-hardy here, so it comes back year after year when planted outdoors; and it’s a dainty plant, with small flowers and commensurately small leaves. Otherwise it looks just about the same as the widely sold commercial species: the pink or white flowers hovering like butterflies on thin stalks above the whorls of variegated leaves.

Following those flowers are seed capsules: mostly-hollow balls the size of small marbles, each attached to the plant by a stem that is wound up like a spring. It was in the beginning of the growing season two years ago that I sowed the seeds in a seedtray filled with sterilized potting mix. (I don’t usually sterilize my potting mixes, but I didn’t want weeds to interfere with the slow-germinating seeds.) Eventually the seeds sprouted, and I kept them watered as needed for good, albeit slow, growth.

Hardy cyclamen’s flowers fade and leaves melt into the ground as plants ease into dormancy with the approach of winter. Not my seedlings, though. I learned, years ago, not to push them into dormancy; instead, keep them growing as long as they want to, until they’re ready to start storing energy – which I did, with plenty of light and, as before, water as needed.

This summer, the plants were still growing (and still small), and I noticed some swelling beneath each plant. The youngsters finally were growing tubers: small bulblike structures that will, in the future, store energy to carry the plants, dormant and leafless, through winter.

This time next year I expect my plants will be officially adult, with flowers as testimony to their maturity.

In her youth, my daughter periodically entered the world of Laura Ingalls Wilder, so the one-acre adjoining field we acquired became “the prairie.” Moving the playhouse that I built out to the field would have completed the picture of “little house on the prairie.” The playhouse never got out there, but the “prairie” – or hayfield, as I usually refer to it – has remained as such.

My affection for prairies came from my living 12 years in Wisconsin (and studying the rich soils – the richest in the world – underlying prairies). My daughter has long outgrown her prairie phase, but I’m going to make my “prairie” more prairielike. One plant for that purpose would be big bluestem (Andropogon gerardii), the star of the Big

Four of grasses native to the tallgrass prairies – the other three being indiangrass (Sorghastrum nutans), switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) and little bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium). Big bluestem is the tallest of the lot, towering six to ten feet high. It’s also good for hay and wildlife, and tolerates drought.

A few years ago I bought some big bluestem seeds and ended up with just a few plants. Those plants are now producing seed, which (I can’t help myself ) I’ve collected. Not that some of the seeds wouldn’t selfsow near the mother plans, but seedlings that do sprout under natural conditions are subject to competition for light, nutrients and water from other plants.

Like many fall-ripening JESSICA BOLSER | USFWS seeds, big bluestem seeds (Above) Big bluestem (Andropogon gerardii) is the star of won’t sprout as soon as they the Big Four of grasses native to the tallgrass prairies – hit the ground; otherwise the other three being indiangrass (Sorghastrum nutans), winter cold would do switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) and little bluestem them in. So they need (Schizachyrium scoparium). “stratification”: a false (or real) winter. For many seeds, cool, moist conditions – such as a few weeks’ residence in a mix of moist peat and perlite in a plastic bag in the refrigerator – will do the trick.

Big bluestem can also be coaxed out of its winter slumber with cool, dry conditions.

Perhaps I’ll try both ways.

My present tallgrass prairie is only about four square feet, from two seedlings that I originally planted plus their slow underground spread with rhizomes. Over time, with my additional plantings and help – a once-a-year late-winter mowing (taken care of under natural conditions with fire) – my prairie will swell.

A prairie takes time – as does, though less is needed, raising cyclamen to flower from seed. That time element itself brings with it certain satisfactions, both with the process and the result. That’s fortunate, since patience is an important element in successful propagation of plants.

Animals

We have wonderful adult cats at the Saugerties Animal Shelter! They’re looking for homes where they’ll be loved, cared for

and given the kindness all animals deserve.

In return, you will get unconditional love and a companion of a lifetime. Why adult cats? You know how large or small they’ll be, their temperament which, by the way, only gets sweeter when taken out of the stress of being in a cage in a shelter. Speak to Elly, Morgan, or any of the volunteers to see which one or ones would do best in your home. All adult cats have been spayed/ neutered, up to date w/shots and litter pan trained. ATHENA; 2-year old affectionate black and white tuxedo cat girl. She was a wonderful mama to many kittens; so wonderful that she took in some orphaned babies and loved them like they were her own. Athena does well w/other respectful kitties. BOBBI; approximately 2/3 years old. She’s white w/gray stripes. If you have attention to give, Bobbi will happily be on the receiving end. REBEL; less than a year old handsome boy (all white w/a black tail) & loves other kitties. Do you have a kitty who needs a BFF? MOO; 2-year old black & white cat girl. A laid back gal & was a great mama to her kittens. Now it’s her turn to be loved. BRITTANY; approximately 3-years old mostly black cat girl w/a white bib & muzzle. She’d love a home where she could be the star of the show. CINNAMON; handsome 10-year old orange cat boy who’s had a terrible year. First his caregiver, whom he loved dearly, passed away. Then, in his next home, the resident cat & dog didn’t want another brother and were mean to Cinnamon. Now Cinnamon has been in a cage for many months just waiting to be loved again.

Saugerties Animal Shelter can welcome you Tuesday-Saturday, 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Call (845)679-0339. MEOW!!!
