MUSIC Rock Academy plays Radiohead at Colony

Kings on Saturday, January 19. The Albany-area Lustre Kings are a wellknown force nationally in the rockabilly revival movement, and their tribute to the King, who would have been 84 this year, is inspired and authentic.

For this special date, the Lustre Kings will be joined by other members of the region’s talented rock ‘n’ roll revival scene. Tickets cost $20 in advance, $25 on the day of the show.

The skilled apprentices of the Rock Academy set their sights on the epochal space-rock of Radiohead at Colony in Woodstock on the third weekend in January. Radiohead’s career can be understood in terms of its “before Kid A” atmospheric guitar rock and the “Kid A and after” trailblazing electro/ art-pop. The Rock Academy intends to do justice to both, announcing that they will draw on everything from The Bends (this writer’s preferred record) through In Rainbows, thereby honoring Radiohead’s own longstanding tradition of denying the existence of their debut record Pablo Honey, as if it were nothing more than an embarrassing baby photograph.

Datura Road plays Unison this Saturday

The Hudson Valley quartet Datura Road plays a global fusion of sorts. Although their instrument locker is deep in both Eastern and Western departments, and the players skilled and well-versed in their source materials, Datura Road is not really a world shred platform. This is a pop band – a progressive, acoustic/electric worldpop band that mixes in a few concise instrumentals. Rhythms and melodies with Arabic, Celtic, Latin, Mediterranean undercurrents are judiciously

arranged in the service of a pretty sweet set of arty prog/folk songs, sung in the purely likable and rich tenor of Matthew Nobile, whose multi-instrument fluency also accounts for much of the band’s timbral richness.

The themes on Datura Road’s impressive 2017 self-titled debut are of the kind that always seem to accompany progressive acoustic world-pop: natural imagery and symbolism, mystical suggestion, an optimistic poetry concerned with such trivialities as peace, fulfilling potential and the harmonious relations between living things. What, Nick Lowe still asks daily, is so funny about peace, love and understanding?

MUSIC

T

The mysterious songs of Laura Stevenson

he Long Island, then-Brooklyn, now-Saugerties singer/songwriter Laura Stevenson splits her bandwidth just about evenly between a rambunctious, stormy and keenly melodic power-pop on one side and a delicate (though still stormy) chamber Americana on the other. In both modes, her work is distinguished by an opulence, an embarrassment of inventive vocal harmony; dramatic and non-traditional song forms that take you for a ride; and lyrics that dart smartly between acute detail and impressionistic flights of metaphor and pure language. It’s heady, wildly musical stuff, and my admiration for it is a matter of public record.

Everything about it says “pop,” and yet Stevenson’s work registers – to me, at least – as something more like art song. Perhaps it is the Chopinesque particularity of her melodic lines, her taste for dynamic and epic forms (even in tight spaces) or the frequently oblique and surprising twists in her lyrics. She might want to write perfect, compact pop songs that hit all the big targets, and the marketplace would certainly love her to; but her gushing talent breaches that narrow sluice every time.

This suits me just fine. “The perfect pop song” is a genuinely dumb idea that tends to get all up in the heads of smart people, with stultifying consequences. In the face of boundless, exotic riches, we elect mundanity like a culture composed entirely of pundits and prognosticators. Smart people like perfect pop songs. I prefer music.

Anyway, that’s me. It’s not easy in here. In late December, Laura Stevenson released a “double single,” some of her first new music since 2015’s delightful rocker Cocksure. These two mysterious and emotionally saturated songs fall on the “chamber” side: acoustic, drumless, sparsely arranged with some light atmospherics, bowed strings and vocal harmonies that are, by Stevenson’s standards, restrained. It is a conceptually unified set of songs as well, released on the occasion of her mother’s birthday and reflecting on the harrowing experiences of her childhood. “I grew up watching my mom go through so much,” she said. “I just wanted to share this as a way of showing her my appreciation for everything she endured while raising me and my sister.”

The slower, rhapsodic “The Mystic & the Master” arcs along on its gorgeous, patient melody until jarred off the rails and to a truncated halt by its violent concluding image: “her second man’s sucker punch.” “The Maker of Things” is brighter in tempo, less resolute in harmony, and more focused on a single, pivotal moment in a family history, seeming to describe a mother/ daughter standoff at a gas station. The songs share a striking undercurrent of violence, belied by Stevenson’s melodic acumen and pinpoint vocal precision.

Less stylized and genre-bound than some of her previous acoustic efforts, these songs suggest that a rich and mature chamberfolk vein is there for the mining. Both are now streaming in all the usual places. All proceeds from Bandcamp sales will go to Safe Horizon, a non-profit organization that supports and empowers victims of domestic violence, child abuse, sexual assault and human trafficking.

For more information, visit https://laurastevenson.bandcamp.com.

When pressed for a genre, Elias Krell describes their music as English and Spanish transgenre dream pop.

Seems accurate to me. The operatrained singer keeps those chops mostly in the drawer in their slick and earthy chamber-pop recordings, though an appreciation for all forms of art song, from the salon to the street, is in evidence all over Krell’s five sparkling new solo folk records, the last two of which were recorded locally and with some regional session aces on board.

MOVIE Doesn’t make the case On the Basis of Sex delivers mildly inspiring look at RBG’s early career

T

wo years into the Bizarro World of the Trump administration, potential presidential candidates for 2020 are beginning to toss their hats into the ring, or at least stick a toe in the water. Some of them, inexplicably undeterred by the abuse heaped upon Hillary Clinton during her 2016 campaign, are women.

Responses to these announcements can often be summarized as: “I don’t have a problem with women running for office; I just have a problem with her.�

While the prospect female leadership at high levels of government still seems to strike terror into many Americans, there’s one personality who seems to stand above the fray these days: 85-year-old Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

The notorious RBG, as she’s widely and affectionately known, is quite simply a rock star of jurisprudence. Ginsburg even has her own action figure. Feminist moms proudly post pictures on social media of their daughters dressed up for Halloween or costume parties in RBG’s trademark lace jabot and big-framed glasses. When news breaks that she has gone to the hospital for cancer surgery, fans rush to volunteer to donate any organ that she might happen to need to have replaced.

In an ugly world, RBG gives us hope.

A documentary about Ginsburg’s career, simply titled RBG, gained ample praise last year; but it’s not a usual thing for Hollywood to make feature biopics about living people. On the Basis of Sex is an exception, and considering its subject’s advanced age and frequent health setbacks in recent years, maybe we should be glad

that it got made while the lady in question is still around to enjoy it.

As a critic, I wish I could muster up as much enthusiasm for this movie as I feel for its subject. Mimi Leder directs from a rather creaky screenplay by Daniel Stiepleman, who happens to be RBG’s nephew. Though some truly fine actors give it their all, the dialogue is often stilted, as characters are called upon to guide the audience through some fairly technical legal procedure and try to make us care about a case that, on the face of it, doesn’t seem very exciting. Charles E. Moritz v.

Commissioner of Internal Revenue, which Ginsburg successfully argued in tandem with her husband Martin, an expert in tax law, set a precedent that she and other attorneys involved in the ACLU’s Women’s Rights Project were able to use again and again in subsequent years to help overturn discriminatory legislation. The movie

JONATHAN WENK | FOCUS FEATURES

Felicity Jones plays the young Ruth Bader Ginsburg

makes us cheer when the Ginsburgs pull it off, but getting there is a bit of a slog.

There’s some odd casting, notably English actress Felicity Jones in the title role. She conveys RBG’s steeliness and intellectual fervor well enough, while managing to obscure her British accent.

But she definitely doesn’t sound like a Jewish girl from Brooklyn. Indeed, the subtext of discrimination against Jews in the legal profession in mid-20thcentury America isn’t aired here at all.

The narrative of the film’s first act is all about the uphill struggle of being one of very few women at Yale Law School, and the difficulty of her breaking into legal practice thereafter. It also presents the Ginsburgs as having something of a fairytale marriage, in which Martin (Armie Hammer) does all the cooking and never asks Ruth – or Kiki, as she’s known to family – to set aside her career ambitions in favor of his own.

The middle reel has RBG ensconced in academia at Rutgers in the early 1970s, drawing inspiration from the rebelliousness of her students and feeling a little shamed by the unwillingness of her own daughter Jane (Cailee Spaeny)

to accept the sexism that permeates her world. Seeking a way to make change firsthand, Ruth seizes on Martin’s knowledge of the Moritz case, getting the brainwave that a situation in which the sex discrimination happens to be against a man (he’s denied the right to take a tax deduction for being the primary caregiver for his aging mother) might prove, ironically, easier to win.

Various allies are then called upon to help, including the ACLU’s Mel Wulf (Justin Theroux), who remembers Kiki from summer camp, and pioneering women’s rights litigator Dorothy Kenyon (Kathy Bates, confusingly costumed to look just like Bella Abzug). Sam Waterston plays the heavy: Erwin Griswold, a sexist Harvard Law dean who later resurfaces to try to get the Ginsburgs to drop the Moritz case.

On the Basis of Sex is a sturdy, workmanlike effort, featuring a generally competent cast. But it rarely rises to the level of inspiration that one wants from a movie about a modern superhero of women’s rights like Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Mostly, it made me want to go back and catch that documentary that I missed the first time around. – Frances Marion Platt

BOOKS

RANKIN

James Patterson holds the Guinness World Record for the most number-one best-sellers (67 at last count) and was the first to top The New York Times’ best-seller lists in both the adults’ and kids’ categories simultaneously. His novels account for roughly six percent of all hardcover novels sold in the US – more copies than those of Stephen King, John Grisham and Dan Brown combined.

Patterson’s progress How a kid from Newburgh became a mega-best-selling author

D

epending on your criterion for measurement, James Patterson is arguably the world’s most successful living author – not bad for a guy who grew up in a working-class Newburgh family. He has sold more than 380 million books worldwide, earning an estimated $700 million over a single decade and topping Forbes’ list of highest-paid authors for three years running. Patterson was the first person to sell one million e-books, holds the Guinness World Record for the most number-one best-sellers (67 at last count) and was the first to top The New York Times’ best-seller lists in both the adults’ and kids’ categories simultaneously.

His novels account for roughly six percent of all hardcover novels sold in the US – more copies than those of Stephen King, John Grisham and Dan Brown combined.

At least a dozen movies and TV series have been based on his books.

Born in 1947 to an insurance salesman and a schoolteacher, Patterson started writing at age 19 but initially pursued a career in advertising. In 1976, while still working for the J. Walter Thompson agency, Patterson had his first novel published by Little, Brown and Company (following 31 rejections). The Thomas Berryman Number then won the Mystery Writers of America’s Edgar Award for Best First Novel. His juggernaut hasn’t slowed down since.

Patterson leaps genres with ease, churning out YA and children’s books, comedies and romance novels and even some nonfiction, but mysteries and espionage thrillers are his bread and butter – or by now, champagne and caviar.

The series of detective novels featuring forensic psychologist Alex Cross are his most widely known works. The current CBS TV series Instinct, starring Alan Cumming as an openly gay former CIA operative, is based on Patterson’s novel Murder Games. It’s his good fortune that so many people love a mystery.

But some people also love to solve

mysteries in real life. Among them are experts in the science of stylometry: text analysis – nowadays greatly assisted by computer programs – that helps scholars answer such questions as how much of Shakespeare’s plays were collaborations with other writers. Stylometric techniques led to the identification of the Unabomber and quickly outed J. K. Rowling as the real-world alter ego of “Robert Galbraith,” purported author of the Cormoran Strike mystery series.

James O’Sullivan of University College Cork is one of the leading lights in the modern stylometry field, which he prefers to call “digital humanities.” His analysis of a cross-section of the works of James Patterson concluded that the author’s prodigious output (his website promises 13 new releases between January and May of 2019) is due mainly to the fact that Patterson no longer does most of his own writing. He’s hardly the first author in history to maintain a stable of writers; as we saw in the 2018 biopic Colette, the French author’s husband, Henry Gauthier-Villars, did so quite openly, without crediting his staff. Patterson at

least admits that he mostly comes up with the plot concepts for his books and lets others – among them Candice Fox, Maxine Paetro, Andrew Gross, Mark Sullivan, Ashwin Sanghi, Michael Ledwidge and Peter de Jonge – write them based on his (extensive and detailed) outlines.

The latest work to undergo O’Sullivan’s scrutiny, 2018 release The President Is Missing, is an interesting exception: Patterson is in fact the primary author. It’s an espionage thriller about cyberterrorism in which the hero just happens to be the president of the US. The final chapters are where the hand of his most illustrious collaborator so far is made manifest: Bill Clinton. Now that he’s wealthy beyond most Newburghers’ dreams, Patterson can spend most of his time at a palatial estate in Palm Beach, but flee the worst of Florida’s summer heat at another home in Briarcliff Manor. So he’s practically neighbors with Chappaqua-based Clinton.

Patterson hasn’t forgotten his humble roots, though. In 2016, he partnered with Emmy-winning reporter Tim Malloy to write and host an hourlong documentary titled Murder of a Small Town, available

from Video on Demand. With some scenes shot on the streets of Newburgh, it focuses primarily on poverty in the Palm Beach County towns of Pahokee and Belle Glade, where his Patterson Family Foundation is active in donating books to needy families. “I was amazed at how terrific the kids were, and how bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, and yet they lived amidst all this poverty and violence. It reminded me of Newburgh,” Patterson told the Poughkeepsie Journal when the documentary was released.

“It’s maddening to hear people who don’t really know what it’s like to grow up and live in cities like Newburgh and Pahokee, and don’t understand it. The people who live here are worthwhile human beings. To equate everybody in those towns with the worst element of the towns is just wrong…

As I say in the film, I was one of those people.”

On a practical level, Patterson and his wife Susan remain activists for literacy.

They wrote a children’s book together titled Big Words for Little Geniuses (2017) meant to instill a love of language in youngsters in the digital age. “Getting kids reading is a big thing with me,” Patterson told Hudson Valley Magazine prior to its publication. In 2005, Patterson founded the James Patterson PageTurner Awards to donate funds to people, companies, schools and other institutions that find original and effective ways to spread the excitement of books and reading. In 2008, inspired by their own son’s disinterest in books (cured by a dispensation from household chores for each hour that he read), the Pattersons created ReadKiddoRead.com, which helps parents, teachers and librarians find the best books for their children.

Patterson has also set up the James Patterson Teacher Education Scholarship in the schools of education at Appalachian State University, Michigan State University, Florida Atlantic University and the University of Florida. He runs the College Book Bucks scholarship program, and in 2015 partnered with Scholastic Book Clubs to put books in the hands of young readers via the James Patterson Pledge. The National Book Foundation recognized his philanthropic and educational work that same year, giving Patterson its Literarian Award as a “passionate campaigner to make books and reading a national priority. A generous supporter of universities, teachers’ colleges, independent bookstores, school libraries and college students, Patterson has donated millions of dollars in grants and scholarships with the purpose of encouraging Americans of all ages to read more books.”

This poor kid from Newburgh has done good while doing well. For more information, visit www.jamespatterson. com.

NIGHT SKY

The year’s best eclipse It’s Sunday night

T

his Sunday, January 20, we’ll see the finest total eclipse of 2019. Well, actually, it’s a lunar eclipse, which technically is just 0.003 percent as mindblowing as the solar type of totality. But 2019’s total solar eclipse is in Chile; our tours have been sold out for years and you’re probably not seeing that one. Anyway, this weekend’s eclipse unfolds above your back yard, so it gets four stars for convenience.

If it’s clear, you want to start observing at 10:33 p.m., when the Full Moon first touches our planet’s dark umbral shadow.

During the next hour, the Moon goes through a weird series of shapes that are sometimes called ‘“phases” – but these do not resemble the normal monthly lunar phases, particularly after around 11:15 p.m. And by 11:30, only one little bright spot of sunlight hits the Moon, while the rest has turned orange, making the whole thing resemble Mars with its polar cap.

Here’s the definitive answer to flat-Earth people. As the ancient Greeks knew, the Moon goes into eclipse every time it touches the place in the sky that’s precisely opposite the Sun, where our planet’s shadow must lie. And every time, the shadow is round. The fact is, only a globe always casts a round shadow.

One who’s not thinking clearly might say, “But why can’t Earth be shaped like a disk, like a DVD? Then we’d be flat, but still cast a round shadow.” But this is faulty reasoning.

A DVD would cast a round shadow only when the Sun was perpendicular to it. If the Sun were sideways to it – as would sometimes be true for a disk orbiting the Sun – we’d then cast a straight-line shadow. So here’s proof that we live on a sphere: the only shape that always casts a round shadow.

Totality begins at 11:41 p.m. And now the blackness that first bit into the Moon is replaced by an eerie coppery glow. That’s because all of Earth’s sunrises and sunsets now throw their ruddy light into our shadow and onto the Moon.

This is all definitely worth observing. Kids particularly love lunar eclipses, and remember them vividly their whole lives.

Since we have room, let’s decide what to call it. Some of the media have labeled this a “Super Wolf Blood Moon.” The real story?

An astrologer in an astrology magazine first referred to an unusually close Moon as a “Super Moon” in 1979. Nowadays, many in the media use the phrase. Science doesn’t – mainly because the term isn’t clearly defined. After all, Sunday’s Full Moon will not be the year’s closest or even second-closest Moon. And nobody will notice any size difference between Sunday’s Moon and the typical Full Moon. As for tides, every Full Moon creates a “spring tide” that’s a few feet greater than the wimpy neap tides

Here’s the definitive answer to flat-Earth people.

accompanying Quarter Moons. Adding this weekend’s closer-than-average factor will raise tides an extra inch or two: hardly super.

What about blood? Well, a fully eclipsed Moon turns coppery like a penny. Blood that color would be reason to see a hematologist. But okay, they’re both ruddy, so we’ll let this one go.

And that Wolf Moon business? Well, some would like each of the year’s 12 or 13 Full Moons to have its own name. Unfortunately, only the Harvest and Hunter’s Full Moons of September and October have official names. But various Native American tribes did indeed name all the Moons. The Algonquin called the January Full Moon the Wolf Moon. But anyone who called it that would be dissing the Nez Perce, who called it the Cold Weather Moon.

To the Lakota Sioux, this is the Moon of Frost in the Teepee. For the American colonists, it’s the Yule Moon or Winter Moon coming up on Sunday. For the Taos, it’s the Man Moon. The San Juan called it the Ice Moon. To the Cheyenne, this is the Hoop and Stick Game Moon. The list goes on and on.

We astronomers call a close Moon a “Perigean Moon.” We call the event a total lunar eclipse. We call the color “coppery.” But the actual color varies: Some eclipse totalities turn gray. Some are brick with a yellow fringe. Some have a blue fringe.

Observe it for yourself. The color is the big unknown, and offers some much-needed suspense.

The Madness of George III will also be shown twice the following day, at 1:15 and 7 p.m., at the Downing Film Center at 19 Front Street in Newburgh. Tickets for the Newburgh screenings cost $12, $10 for Downing members.

The Madness of George III

Ever fantasize about living in times and places when art salons were legendary haunts for the great minds of the era, such as Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas’ flat at 27 rue de Fleurus in Paris during the 1920s? For 16 years now, the Thomas Cole National Historic Site has been hosting monthly Sunday Salons in late winter and early spring that invite art experts of national prominence to Catskill to share their knowledge about the Hudson River School of painting, its milieu, practitioners, influences and legacy, and about American landscape painting in general. Audience discussions follow each talk. The afternoon series starts up again this Sunday, January 20.

This first lecture for 2019 brings design historian and historic interiors expert

Jean Dunbar of Historic Design, Inc. for the unveiling of a new discovery (its exact nature undivulged) at Thomas Cole’s home inspired by his first love, English design.

Living and earning on the cusp between manufacturing and art, Cole acquired the skills to become a painter. His home in Catskill illustrates his virtuosity as a designer and the unquenchable passion for decoration that permeated his life as an artist. “Sunday Salon: Thomas Cole and Industrial Design” gets underway, like all the events in this series, at 2 p.m.

Admission costs $12 for the general public, $10 for members.

The series continues on February 10 with Dr. Sylvia Yount, Lawrence A. Fleischman curator in Charge of the American Wing at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, speaking on “Evolving Visions and Voices in the Met’s American Wing.” Founded in 1924 for the display and study of historical American decorative arts, the American Wing is expanding its collecting focus and gallery narratives to create a more pluralistic experience for 21st-century audiences.

On March 3, Alan C. Braddock of the College of William & Mary will give a talk titled “Directionality in the Art of Thomas Cole: An Ecocritical Perspective.”

And on April 7, Jeanne Haffner, associate curator of the “Hudson Rising” exhibition at the New-York Historical Society, will discuss “Catskill Creek and the Science of Landscape.”

Presentations are held in the New Studio at the Thomas Cole National Historic Site, located at 218 Spring Street in Catskill. To learn more, visit http://thomascole.org/events.

January and February are the best months for viewing bald eagles on the Hudson River. This winter has been particularly good for eagle-watching.

PETER SCHOENBERGER | JBNHS

Bald eagles are back And midwinter is the best time to spot them

W

ith its sub-freezing temperatures, long nights and bleak landscape, January is a month to be endured. But when I’m walking my Chihuahua/pug mix in the morning out at Kingston Point, I often experience winter’s upside: the sight of a bald eagle.

A few days ago, I spotted an enormous hunched form perched on a high branch of a large deciduous tree along the rail trail extending out into the Hudson River, overlooking the shallow waters where the river meets Rondout Creek. The eagle was mostly brown, indicating that it was an immature bird. The silhouette of its head, with the distinctive hooked beak, swiveled slightly as it gazed imperiously over the water. Ever since I discovered the bloody hide of a large woodchuck that had been apparently attacked from the air a few summers ago out on the ballfield, I worried that an eagle might find my small dog tempting prey; but on this occasion, the bird seemed oblivious to our presence. A few days later, a jogger pointed out a bald eagle swooping over the same stretch of water, identified by its enormous planklike wings. While we watched, it suddenly snatched a fish from a heron.

January and February are the best months of the year for viewing bald eagles on the Hudson River. Measuring 30 to 36 inches high and with a wingspan that extends from six to seven feet, “Eagles are definitely conspicuous – even more so in the winter when the large cottonwoods and sycamores they perch in are leafless,”

said Kingston-based naturalist Mark DeDea, president of the John Burroughs Natural History Society and caretaker of the Forsyth Nature Center. As the temperatures drop and the river freezes, “They’ll start to concentrate in the areas of open water, like the channel in the river kept open by the Coast Guard cutter,” said naturalist Steve Chorvas, who volunteers for stewardship and land management of the Esopus Creek Conservancy in Saugerties. “It’s common to see eagles sitting on the ice floes as the tide goes out, riding them down the river, looking for food.”

Not only do the birds tend to cluster, but there are more of them: Joining the dozen-or-so eagles that nest in this area are eagles migrating from the north and west, as the inland waterways of the Catskills and Adirondacks freeze over.

“Bald eagles commonly migrate and winter in loose family units, often with juveniles of varying ages. In the nonbreeding season, they are more tolerant of being in proximity to other eagles,” said DeDea. This winter is particularly good for eagle-watching: DeDea said that he and others participating in the recent Ulster/

Dutchess Christmas Bird Count counted 55 bald eagles, more than double the average. He attributed the high number to the mild weather and lack of ice.

“Typically, these birds would be farther south, at Bear Mountain or Croton,” he said, adding that “It is not unusual to have more than 100 birds wintering where the river narrows and remains open with help from the tides and boat traffic.”

Ne w York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) officials note that during the w i n t e r, bald eagles roost in forest stands near open water. They rest and perch in tall trees and are most active between 7 and 9 a.m. and 4 and 5 p.m. While the eagles at Kingston Point are obviously accustomed to humans, in other areas the birds might be more susceptible to disturbance and should be viewed from a distance. Disturbing or killing an eagle or interfering with its nest or eggs is a federal offense, with a penalty of up to a $20,000 fine and/or a year in jail.

Bald eagles feed on fish as well as waterfowl, shorebirds, small mammals, reptiles and even carrion. “Eagles are primarily fish-eaters, but they’ll take advantage of whatever they can find,”

Measuring 30 to 36 inches high and with a wingspan that extends from six to seven feet, “Eagles are definitely conspicuous,” said naturalist Mark DeDea.

said Chorvas. “Common mergansers and goldeneye and bufflehead ducks will stay around in winter as long as there’s open water, and are a popular food source for eagles. We’ve also seen eagles on a carcass of a deer that fell through the ice.” He added that DEC staff had taken roadkill and dragged it out onto the ice of the Ashokan Reservoir for eagles to eat, as a protective measure to keep them from getting hit by a car.

Good spots to spy eagles Besides Kingston Point, popular viewing places along the Hudson River are the Saugerties Lighthouse and the riverside parks between Saugerties and Kingston. Farther down the river, the DEC recommends Norrie Point in Hyde Park and Constitution Island from North Dock at West Point. Other viewing areas in the region are the Ashokan Reservoir (until it freezes) and the Rondout Reservoir, where there’s a dedicated eagle-watching area: It’s located where the reservoir is fed water from an underground portal, creating an area of perpetual open water even after the reservoir has frozen, which concentrates the birds, according to Chorvas.

Bald eagles begin their nest-building in January, well before the females start incubating their eggs in late-February to mid-March. Bald eagles reach adulthood (with the distinctive white head and tail) at four or five years of age and mate for life. Many of the eagles migrating to our region from the north are immature, so they don’t compete with adult eagles for

breeding grounds.

A pair of eagles will return to the same nest year after year, building it up with more sticks, grasses and other material until it can measure eight feet deep and five feet in diameter. “Some become very heavy over time, to the point where eventually the tree or limb it’s on will collapse,” Chorvas said, recalling an instance in which a tulip tree with a nest full of eaglets came down during a major storm. (Fortunately, the young eagles were rescued by rehabilitators.) The incubation period is 35 days, with the eaglets making their first flight 10 to 12 weeks later. Bald eagles have a lifespan of 30 years, but typically live in the wild 15 to 25 years.

How the bald eagle made a comeback in New York With bald eagles now a common sight along the river, it’s easy to forget that 50 years ago, the majestic raptor was essentially extirpated from New York State: By 1970, only one active breeding pair remained, and none of the eggs laid by the female successfully hatched, due to the bird’s ingestion of DDT, a pesticide that weakened the eggs’ shells. The bald eagle was listed as Endangered by the state in 1971; the next year, DDT was banned, giving the dwindling population of bald eagles in the Lower 48 a fighting chance.

(In 1963, there were just 487 breeding pairs left in those states.) In a lastditch effort to save the population in New York, between 1978 and 1986 the DEC acquired eight eaglets from elsewhere (several had been bred in captivity in Maryland) and had them fostered by the single remaining New York pair.

This was followed up by a program, undertaken by the DEC in conjunction with the US Fish and Wildlife Service and Cornell University, using a technique called hacking, in which 198 eaglets, primarily taken from Alaska, were released at four historic nesting sites where “high release towers” had been installed, simulating nests in the wild.

Although 32 of the young eagles did not survive (half were illegally shot), the technique worked, and in 1980 the first breeding pair established by hacking fledged two young. The population has steadily increased ever since: According to the DEC’s most recent survey, in 2014 New York had 254 breeding pairs of bald eagles. (As of 2004, the total US population of bald eagles was estimated at 100,000, with 9,800 breeding pairs, according to the DEC.) The first eagle born to a nesting pair along the Hudson River did not occur until 1997, after a gap of more than 100 years. In 2005 there were 12 pairs nesting along the Hudson River, a number that continues to increase. “Bald eagles are breeding in pretty much every nesting niche along the river in our region, and have started to work their way upstream along many of the river’s tributaries,” said DeDea. “Now there are nests along the Esopus, Wallkill and Rondout waterways and their related bodies of water, like Sturgeon Pool and the Ashokan Reservoir.” Eaglets fledged in the state are nesting in nine other states and in Canada, according to the DEC. In response to the dramatic uptick in population, the bald eagle was delisted from Endangered status to Threatened by the state government in 1999, and it was taken off the federal Endangered Species list in 2007. However, it is protected under the state’s Environmental Conservation Law, and the DEC continues to monitor the bird of prey closely, with the objective of ensuring that there is an average of at least 200 breeding pairs in the state. A bald eagle and/or its nest can be disturbed or destroyed only with a permit.

Serious threats remain, including collisions with vehicles or trains; lead poisoning; PCB contamination (which could reduce the eagle’s ability to reproduce); ensnarement or electrocution by power lines; habitat loss by commercial, industrial and residential development; timber harvest of mature

What is hospice like?

– Knock knock.

– Who’s there?

– Control freak. [beat] Now you say, Control freak who?

W

ell, for starters, I can tell you that in my very limited experience, even though there are tons of recommendations about starting hospice sooner rather than later within that remaining six-month life expectancy, apparently very few people actually do it. I get it; I wasn’t ready before I was ready, either.

After months of reflection, I saw the writing on the wall: brain tumor removal; heart drains; respiratory weakness; sepsis; and because all of that is so boring, we spiced things up by contracting shingles in my right eye. On a scale of one to ten measuring pain from shingles, eye shingles score at about four million, conservatively. I still look a fright, and I’m scabby from the painful sores. But Mother Nature seems to “get me” on how extremely satisfying it can be to have a fabulous nose-pick, because she Herself surpassed all of my dreams with this new of level of epidermal joy scabbing around my face: level four million – in a good way! If it’s wrong to pick my face, I don’t want to be right.

But it’s not all glory. Time doesn’t stand still because I’m off cancer treatments. I have a pool going for which organ takes me down: brain, heart or liver. My oxygen tanks are already on deck for when I need more help breathing as my heart inevitably refills with fluid.

Hospice basically consists of a bunch of skilled people who come over one at a time. I don’t know how many (currently) able-bodied people are on hospice like me.

The only people I have met since starting come right to my home. I have a nurse who comes weekly; a 24-hour hotline for urgent needs or questions; an awesome chaplain; and apparently, there are also music therapists and some pet therapy in the mix (I’ll report back on that). My insurance enables me to be there, but I still have the same deductibles and co-pays I used to. (Somehow I always thought hospice was free? Not for me, anyway.)

To me, culturally, hospice seems viewed is a societal synonym of: “So long! Farewell! Auf wiedersehen! Good-bye!” (I dare you to spell “Auf wiedersehen” without Google. #dankecopypaste) There’s this tragic tinge that feels like I repel people (note to self: get more mouthwash).

Yes, I’m dying, but, as I read this morning thanks to some great friends who shared this with me: “What is it like to know that you are dying?”

“What’s it like pretending that you aren’t?”

After months of reflection, I saw the writing on the wall: brain tumor removal; heart drains; respiratory weakness; sepsis; and because all of that is so boring, we spiced things up by contracting shingles in my right eye.

trees; and disturbance of breeding pairs by boat traffic or other human activity.

Birdwatchers should take care and “never knowingly approach nesting eagles,” said DeDea. “Hens are incubating their eggs well before the springlike weather arrives, and being bumped off the nest and exposing the eggs to the elements could be catastrophic.”

Nonetheless, naturalists are optimistic.

“I think this is a bird that will be able to

hold its own,” said Chorvas. Does the same hold true for my Chihuahua mix, should a bald eagle decide to make a move? “I don’t think [bald eagles] would be so brazen to swoop down and grab your pooch while you were out for a walk,” said DeDea. “That being said, I’ve personally seen them catch everything from ducks to muskrats to snakes to large fish – bigger than a Chihuahua.”

A full schedule of bird and nature walks

offered by Mark DeDea, Steve Chorvas and other naturalists through the John Burroughs Natural History Society can be found at http://jbnhs.org. The walks begin in January and run throughout the year.

Starting in late March, the Esopus Creek Conservancy will also sponsor nature walks; visit www.esopuscreekconservancy. org for a schedule.

Mount Academy stages student plays this weekend

The Mount Academy in Ulster Park will stage student-created plays over the course of a two-day festival this Friday and Saturday. Three performances of work accomplished by ten high schoolers – all young women participating in the Academy’s Young Playwrights’ and Actors’ Club – focus on the subject of radical transformation.

These original works are the culmination of a three-month-long intensive workshop involving the skills of writing, critical thinking and acting. Additionally, three stories from the Bruderhof community archives have been adapted for the stage: one about a Vietnam vet, another about a girl who grew up in Germany during World War II and a third about a young man who follows his conscience to Mississippi and Freedom Summer.

Dramatic and theater arts are part of the Academy’s co-curricular offerings, which also include clubs for athletics, art history, studio and industrial arts and home economics. Students in the Young Playwrights’ and Actors’ Club will be joined by professional actors from New York City and director Chris Silva to perform these works on the stage of the Mount Academy Theater.

The community is invited to attend any of the three performances taking place on Friday, January 18 at 12:30 p.m. and Saturday, January 19 at 1 and 5 p.m. Admission is free. To reserve a seat, e-mail contact@bruderhof.com or visit www.mountacademy.com. The Mount Academy is located at 1001 Broadway in Ulster Park.

Blaire by Bonticou The newest American Girl doll, brainchild of local author Jennifer Castle, lives in Ulster County

O

ne year ago, when we interviewed Jennifer Castle about the release of her latest YA novel, Together at Midnight, the local author was harboring a secret so exciting that she could barely contain it. Now we finally know what it was: Castle was chosen to write the book series to go with the latest doll to be manufactured in the American Girl line. If you’ve raised kids who like dolls in the past 33 years, you know about American Girl dolls: characters of various ethnicities from various periods of history going back to the time before European settlement. Their stories, costumes and accessories are windows into the past. They are highly detailed, costly and collectible.

In 2001, the company began updating its image by launching a “Girl of the Year” series that spotlights contemporary American girls. In 2018, for example, customers were introduced to Luciana Vega, a Latina STEM geek whose dream is to become an astronaut.

Well, on January 1, American Girl’s Girl of the Year 2019 was unveiled. Her name is Blaire Wilson, and she lives on a family farmturned-B&B/wedding venue in a fictional rural community called Bluefield – which, according to Castle, is tucked in somewhere between New Paltz and Gardiner, at the base of the Shawangunk Ridge.

Unlike some of their iconic predecessors in the doll line, these modern-day American Girl characters don’t have big historical problems like the Civil War or the Revolution. But the company is pitching them conflicts that make them relatable to kids of today. Blaire is a creative type who loves to cook, decorate and blog, and helps out at a local food pantry patterned after Family.

She is lactose-intolerant, affording another angle toward discussions of food issues. Like many of her peers, she spends too much time caught in the vortex of electronic devices and social media. Much of her story will be about learning to appreciate ways of connecting with people via real-world activities such as outings with friends (including to the Ulster County Fair), family gatherings and volunteering. The American Girl website hints that cyberbullying will become a topic as Blaire’s adventures on the printed page continue.

Castle, a New Paltz resident, is the author of The Beginning of After, What Happens Now and the Butterfly Wishes series for younger readers. She is the mother of two daughters, one of whom has celiac disease, so Castle understands the challenges of having to eat differently from other kids.

The Blaire Wilson doll, accompanying outfits and accessories (including a lamb, a piglet and gardening tools), plus the first couple of books telling her story are available on the American Girl website and at the American Girl retail store in Rockefeller Plaza in Manhattan. The basic doll with one costume retails for $115; the books are a much more affordable $7.99 each. To learn more, visit www.americangirl.com/shop/meet-blaire.

organizers provide a variety of items for the kids to take apart, such as kitchen countertop appliances, toys and digital devices, along with simple tools – mostly screwdrivers of all sizes. The kids discover what’s inside and learn about what makes things work, including the opportunity to learn a little about basic circuitry.

Then, as a further activity, the kids

use the parts to make something new, finding “possibilities in the pieces.” The result: creative reuse! The activities are supervised by Holly Shader, creative reuse specialist and middle school science teacher.

Repair Café is an all-volunteer project now in its sixth year at the United Methodist Church in New Paltz. Coffee

Whole Clarity is the name of her entrepreneurial endeavors, which are both practical and fanciful: practical in the way her skincare products interact with the body, all the way to fanciful in the way that “dancing with plants” can help participants to open their channels and receive those positive vibes.

I’m not being facetious here. Although I didn’t make it to her inaugural Dance with Plants event held recently at BSP, I can, as a tree-lover/gardener/veggie-eater/ believer in herbal remedies, testify to the miracle of plant-based organisms.

Bryce Phillips takes flight in Warren Miller’s film Dynasty

Film tribute to ski documentarian Warren Miller in Phoenicia

J

ust after World War II, before skiing became a trendy and accessible sport in the US, a young man named Warren Miller, fresh out of the Navy, headed off to Sun Valley armed with an eight-millimeter movie camera and began documenting skiers in their element. It was the beginning of a very long and successful career of touting the joys of skiing and chronicling advances in the sport on film. Miller’s voiceover narrations became iconic, and the movies that issued from Warren Miller Entertainment over many decades were given much of the credit for the popularization of skiing – and later in his career, snowboarding and “extreme” winter sports.

Warren Miller died in January 2018 at the age of 93. “Mr. Miller’s films depicted winter sports with grandeur, beauty and a mischievous sense of fun that attracted viewers who had never set foot on a slope,” said his obituary in The New York Times.

“The mainstream appeal of his films helped turn winter sports from a niche pursuit to a widely popular pastime and a multibillion-dollar industry.”

Miller’s legacy is remembered in a documentary titled Face of Winter, in which legendary skiers from all over the globe pay tribute to their longtime chronicler. The new film will be screened three times this weekend at the Phoenicia Playhouse as a fundraiser for the Adaptive Sports Foundation (ASF), a not-for-profit organization that promotes physical activity for children and adults with disabilities including paralysis, autism, amputation, cerebral palsy and traumatic brain injury. ASF also runs the Warriors in Motion fitness and wellness program for injured military veterans.

Screenings of Face of Winter begin at 8 p.m. on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, January 18 through 20. Tickets cost $12 general admission, $10 for seniors, students and Professional Ski Instructors of America members. They can be purchased from Tender Land Homes on Main Street in Phoenicia, by calling (845) 688-2279 or online at www.phoeniciaplayhouse.com.

All attendees who register at the screening are eligible to win ski vacations, receive free ski magazine subscriptions and win door prizes. To view a trailer for Face of Winter, visit https://warrenmiller.com/film-tour.

At first it was D/I/Y. I got into the kitchen and started making stuff. Then I hired a chemist to help perfect the formulas.

So other things came along: veganism, meditation, crystals and plants. I started making art with crystals and air plants and driftwood, and also these upcycled meditation stools. It all came together, and I didn’t just want to do monthly farmers’ markets. I needed to find a way to position my brand that is experiential. In Brooklyn, I was part of two dance communities that held the most uplifting, sober, conscious dance party experiences every other week.”

Moving to Kingston last April, she missed that scene. She reached out to other artists and a few sponsors, and launched Dance with Plants, a two-hourlong happening with a room full of plants, art, musicians, a deejay and other people involved in health and wellness. “We

wanted people to be able to interact with various products, such as ImmuneSchein’s special ginger elixir drinks, superfood goodies by Grok Bites, some aromatherapy and some plant displays.” The event also included healing gong and drum-circle warmups.

“We have so many ideas. Going forward, we’d like to do a dinner with plant-based foods beforehand. I want to showcase everyone, depending on what they create.

It will be different every time. And I can’t say enough good things about BSP. It was a dream from beginning to end. I can’t wait to grow this party to fill that back space!”

PRAYER TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN. (Never known to fail.) Oh, most beautiful flower of Mt. Carmel, fruitful vine splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son of God. Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity. Oh, Star of the Sea, help me and show me herein you are my mother. Oh, Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth! I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in this necessity. There are none that can withstand your power. Oh, show me herein you are my mother. Oh Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee (3x).

Holy Mother, I place this cause in your hands (3x). Holy Spirit, you who solve all problems, light all roads so that I can attain my goal. You who gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me and that in all instances in my life you are with me, I want in this short prayer to thank-you for all things as you confirm once again that I never want to be separated from you in eternal glory. Thank-you for your mercy towards me and mine. The person must say this prayer 3 consecutive days, the request will be granted. This prayer must be published after the favor is granted.
