Adam LeFevre play Foreign Policy debuts at Unison in New Paltz Foreign Policy, a new play

by Ulster County-based actor, poet and playwright Adam LeFevre, will be unveiled in a staged reading by his comrades at Actors and Writers on Saturday, May 25 at the Unison Arts Center. Davis Hall directs and Brian MacReady, Lori Wilner and Nicole Quinn star in this comedy of manners described as “a full-length balancing act along the thin lines that both separate and bind us.” Foreign Policy is about a married couple who must negotiate the boundaries between themselves, their neighbors and the simplicities and subtleties of the real world. What are the limits of our good intentions?

The performance begins at 8 p.m. at Unison, which is located at 68 Mountain Rest Road on the western outskirts of New Paltz. Admission is by donation, $20 suggested. Tickets can be reserved in advance at www.unisonarts.org or obtained at the door, space permitting.

Field + Supply inaugurates Spring MRKT in Kingston

Now the “meticulously curated” event is initiating a “Spring MRKT” to be held over Memorial Day weekend, May 24 to 26, at Kingston’s Hutton Brickyards site on the Hudson riverfront. Billed as “a modern interpretation of a traditional arts and crafts fair,” the weekend of shopping and feasting will feature 144 artisan exhibitors from 2 to 6 p.m. on Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday.

The Hutton Brickyards are located at 200 North Street, just north of Kingston Point. Admission costs $15 for one day, $25 for both Saturday and Sunday and $35 for all three days. Children under age 12 get in free, and there will be hands-on craft activity stations for their enjoyment.

Live music will include the Saints of Swing on Friday, the Slam Allen Trio and Soul Projekt on Sunday; a deejay will play on Saturday. Visit www.fieldandsupply. com to purchase tickets and find out lots more about the Spring MRKT, including a complete guide to exhibitors.

BOB DYLAN BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION BENEFITS FAMILY OF WOODSTOCK

T

his Friday, May 24, is the 77th birthday of Nobel Prizewinning singer/songwriter Robert Allen Zimmerman. An awful lot of years have passed since Dylan dwelled in Woodstock, but more recently, the anniversary of his birth has served as a great excuse for musicians in his erstwhile home community to come together and make some joyful noise to raise money for Family of Woodstock’s Hotline and John Herald Fund.

The 11th annual Bob Dylan Birthday Celebration goes on from 7 to 11 p.m. on Sunday, May 26 in the Barn at the Levon Helm Studios. This year the show will serve as the kickoff to the town’s summerlong celebration of the golden jubilee of the 1969 Woodstock Music & Art Festival. Happy Traum serves as emcee as usual, and he’ll be joined this year by Cindy Cashdollar, Tracy Bonham, Scott Petito, Simi Stone, Joe Magistro, Adam Widoff, Bruce Katz, Connor Kennedy, Peter More, Leslie Ritter, Marc Black and the obligatory-for-Woodstock Surprise Guests Yet to Be Announced. Songs written by Dylan will be spotlighted throughout the evening.

Tickets cost $65 to $125 for seats, $35 for standing room. To reserve yours, visit https://levonhelm.com/shows.

Place include architect Alexander Jackson Davis and landscape designer Andrew Jackson Downing, but now visitors will have opportunities to learn about a lesser-known steward of this magnificent site overlooking the Hudson River.

Part of what makes Alexander Gilson (1824-1889) remarkable is the fact that he was born into slavery. After being freed, he stayed on as head gardener, working closely with Cora Livingston Barton to develop Montgomery Place’s “pleasure gardens” during the Gilded Age redesign of the estate. Gilson eventually opened his own nursery business, and had a cultivar of ornamental plant that he had bred named after him: Achyranthes verschaffeltii, var. Gilsoni.

“Toward an Ethical Imagination: Gilsonfest” is a collaboration among Bard College, Historic Red Hook, the Dutchess County Historical Society and the Red Hook Quilters focusing on Alexander Gilson’s life. On Friday, May 24 at 11:30 a.m. at the Historic Red Hook Annex on Cherry Street in Red Hook, Gilsonfest continues with the opening of “Alexander Gilson: From Property to Property Owner.”

It will include an exhibition by students in a Bard College class about Alexander Gilson, a quilting presentation by the Red Hook Quilters and a presentation on historic garden artifacts and plants. At 1 p.m. that same day, there will be a public

signage dedication in honor of the life of Alexander Gilson at the Montgomery Place Visitor Center, followed by a gathering at the Montgomery Place Greenhouse toolroom.

Gardening continues to hold center stage on Friday, May 24 at 4 p.m. with a garden party in Montgomery Place’s Ellipse Garden, located in front of the Greenhouse. It will officially open an exhibition titled “The Gilded Garden: Historic Ornament in the Landscape at Montgomery Place,” which will spotlight the use of decorative garden ornaments and furniture, including cast iron, terra cotta and marble objects, alongside living plants.

The musical side of the Spring Series comes into play with concerts and lectures in May featuring music of the estate’s Gilded Age heyday. On Sunday, May 26 at 4 p.m. at the Montgomery Place North Porch, a concert by a saxophone quartet will pull together the Spring Series’ horticultural and musical themes with “The Gardener of Montgomery Place and the Composer of Newburgh, New York.” Downriver in Newburgh, Ulysses J. Alsdorf, whose grandfather was freed by the Manumission Act of New York State on July 4, 1827, had a life journey similar to Gilson’s. The Alsdorfs were prominent entrepreneurs, involved in everything from catering to dance schools. Ulysses J. Alsdorf ’s music was used to celebrate

But Pacheco comes with more than that; he will bring with him a formidable cadre of outlaws, characters, lovers and historical figures, all in the thousands of songs he has written and in the stories he presents. There are songs about wandering families during hard times, about Greenwich Village in the 1960s, about protests, war criminals, about sights he has seen and sounds he has heard in his years living in Nasvhille, Austin and Dublin; about his connections in Norway and Scandinavia, where his popularity exceeds his recognition here.

Tickets are $15 and can be bought in advance at colonywoodstock.com or by calling (845) 679-7625. You can also get them at the door on the night of the show for $18.

Olana’s 2019 exhibition, “In Frederic Church’s Ombra: Architecture in Conversation with Nature,” opened this month and runs through November 3. The exhibition showcases multimedia design concepts and installations developed by leading architects and select artists. Guest curator Barry Bergdoll invited a group of today’s most inventive architects to respond to the transitional outdoor rooms at Olana that are so essential to the original 19 th-century design of the main house. The architects were asked to examine assumptions about the relationship of architecture and landscape at Olana and to explore the main house’s transition to the surrounding natural environment, particularly in our time of climatic and environmental change. The resulting exhibition combines hand-drawn sketches, painted renderings, three-dimensional models and video and computer animations.

The first phase of Olana’s main house was the collaboration of artist Frederic Church and architect Calvert Vaux. The house and its 250-acre landscape were designed to incorporate vast Hudson Valley views. A key space in Olana’s main house design is the “Ombra,” an outdoor room that provides a transition between the central Court Hall and the surrounding landscape. This space, along with other transitional spaces at Olana – which include the Piazza, Round Veranda and Bell Tower – have been unfurnished and not fully examined until now.

“Architecture in Conversation with Nature”

During a career that spans more than 35 years, Accord’s improvisational live painter Nancy Ostrovsky has established herself as artist adept at translating sound into vibrant, energetic visuals that look like music.

She'll be giving a rare local painting performance with bassist Michael Bisio on Thursday, May 30 at 7 p.m. at Lydia’s Café in Accord.

MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND ACTIVITIES LAUNCH NEW D-DAY EXHIBIT AT FDR LIBRARY

Fine Asian Cuisine Specializing in Fresh Seafood & Vegetarian with a Flair!

une 6 marks the 75th anniversary of what has been called “the Allies’ greatest military achievement” during World War II: the invasion of Normandy on D-Day in 1944. It was the beginning of the end of the Hitler regime. To mark this milestone, the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum launches a special exhibition in the William J. vanden Heuvel Gallery this Saturday, “D-Day: FDR and Churchill’s ‘Mighty Endeavor’.” Up through January 6, 2020, the new exhibit focuses on the “special relationship” between the US and UK leaders.

Operation Overlord was a triumph of Allied cooperation and planning – and this exhibit takes visitors inside the rooms where it happened. Featuring four interactive installations, including a 65-inch touch-table showing the location and movement of the 1.2 million soldiers and sailors involved in the invasion, it provides opportunities to explore the actual maps and classified cables from FDR’s secret Map Room.

There are 69 documents, many never seen in public before, and 39 artifacts including a rare ECM Mark II SIGABA cipher machine that was used to encode the most sensitive transmissions from FDR to Churchill. A wide range of historic photographs, films, newspapers and cartoons show the extraordinary scope of the operation. More details about exhibit-related programming are available at (800) 337-8474 or www.fdrlibrary.org. Admission is by the usual Library and Museum entrance fee of $10 general admission, $6 for seniors (62+) and free for active-duty military personnel.

The FDR site will also be offering its usual Memorial Day weekend panoply of fun and educational commemorative activities from May 24 to 27, some of them themed this year to match the new exhibition. The 16th annual USO Show, patterned after the World War II-era shows put on to entertain American troops serving around the globe and featuring live Big Band music from the 1930s and ’40s, comedy and juggling and historic newsreels, kicks off the weekend events at 7 p.m. on Friday, May 24 in the Henry A. Wallace Center. Admission is free, but you must preregister at www.fdrlibrary.org.

On Saturday and Sunday, the FDR Library’s front lawn will be home to historic military displays and a World War II encampment, where visitors can interact with reenactors in battle dress, some of them displaying D-Day-related exhibits.

Admission to the outdoor festivities is free. Indoors, Nigel Hamilton, author of War and Peace: FDR’s Final Odyssey: D-Day to Yalta, 1943-1945, will do a book talk and signing at 4 p.m. on Saturday, May 25. At 2 p.m. on Sunday, Richard Aldous, Eliot Cohen and David Reynolds will hold this year’s Gordon Cohen Churchill Lecture and panel discussion, “D-Day: Leadership under Pressure.” Admission to either talk is free with preregistration at www.fdrlibary.org.

A Field of Honor flag display will be up all weekend at the Home of FDR, and Memorial Day itself, Monday, May 27, will cap the weekend’s activities with a 1:30 p.m. graveside memorial service and wreath-laying ceremony in the Rose Garden.

Admission is free to both.

Just my bag Woodstock-New Paltz Art & Crafts Fair at Ulster County Fairgrounds this weekend

Y

ou know those infuriating “Don’t wear this if you’re over Age X” articles that you see posted on social media all the time? Well, one of the things that women in their 60s are definitely not supposed to wear in public places, according to Millennial magazine writers, is a fanny pack (or bumbag, if you’re from the UK, where “fanny” has a more risqué meaning). Go ahead and laugh, but this reporter has been living in her fanny pack for many months now, since my last shoulder bag fell apart. I’d sooner endure the scorn of strangers wherever I go than buy one of those tacky faux-leather objects that pass for purses in department stores these days.

My long vigil will soon be over: The Woodstock-New Paltz Art & Crafts Fair will be back this weekend for its 38th spring visit to the Ulster County Fairgrounds.

And there’s no better selection of finely designed, sturdily constructed leather handbags – along with thousands of other items distinctively handmade from high-quality materials – to be found anywhere in our region. Whether you’re looking for clothing or housewares, jewelry or patio furniture, a pottery bowl or a wrought-iron hook or carved wooden salad utensils or a colorful patchwork quilt or a jar of Vidalia onion jam, this is the place to undertake your search and go home more than satisfied. Allow yourself plenty of time, because there are hundreds of juried exhibitors in two gigantic tents, several smaller specialized ones and long rows of open-air booths, all competing to catch your eye.

Time to get off your feet, relax and enjoy some top-shelf fair food in between shopping runs is also advisable. The musical entertainment at this event is always as tastefully curated as the craftwares, and there’s a show geared to kids each day of the fair as well. At noon on Saturday, May 25, master storyteller Jonathan Kruk will regale visitors with theatrical tales of “Pirates on the Hudson,” and Lauren Magarelli and the beBhakti Band will bring their trance music blending vocal harmonies, drum, harmonium and hammered dulcimer at 1:30 p.m. Sunday, May 26 features Erik Callender’s wild menagerie of rescued live reptiles and amphibians from around the world at noon; and at 1:30, New York City-based roots/blues/soul band Brewster Moonface performs, fronted by Julie Notwicz, whose voice melds the influences of Janis Joplin and Big Mama Thornton. At noon on Monday, May 27, Lolly Hopwood will host a fun interactive adventure for kids blending music, games and imagination; at 1:30 p.m., Franki Dennull of the Beings will perform Beatlesque classic rock and blues.

Admission to the Woodstock-New Paltz Art & Crafts Fair costs $9 per adult, but if you prepurchase online at www.quailhollow.com (where you can also peruse the full list of exhibitors), you can get a three-day pass for $13. Parking is free and ample, affording the bonus of a stunning view of the Shawangunk Ridge.

Fair hours are from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Memorial Day. – Frances Marion Platt Woodstock-New Paltz Art & Crafts Fair, Saturday/Sunday, May 25/26. 10 a.m.-5:30 p.m.; Monday, May 27, 10 a.m.-4 p.m., $9/$13, Ulster County Fairgrounds, 249 Libertyville Rd., New Paltz, www.quailhollow.com

Dirty Projectors perform at Hudson Hall on Saturday Even by Hudson Hall’s lofty standards, this booking is a biggie: The venue located within the historic Hudson Opera House welcomes the Dirty Projectors on Saturday, May 25. While

the eccentric musical visionary Dave Longstreth had been making experimental pop records for years, a pair of major releases – 2009’s Bitte Orca and 2012’s Swing Lo Magellan – firmly established the then-Brooklyn-based ensemble as one of the most formidable voices in the conservatory wing of indie-pop. After several years of personnel shakeups, Longstreth resurfaced with a bluntly autobiographical self-titled DP release in 2017, featuring the on-topic track “Up in Hudson.”

Jennifer Maidman/ Elly Wininger concert benefits Historical Society of Woodstock

The Historical Society of Woodstock will present a benefit concert this Friday as the first in a series of events complementing its upcoming exhibit at the Eames House Museum, “Woodstock Music: In Tune with the Times, 1600-Present.” The exhibition previews with a talk by Woodstock musician Rennie Cantine on June 15 and officially opens on June 29, running through September 1.

ALMANAC WEEKLY Headlining Friday’s concert is the Jennifer Maidman Band, with special guest Elly Wininger. Maidman (shown above), a versatile UK- and US-based instrumentalist, singer/songwriter and producer, has performed with Joan Armatrading, Bonnie Raitt, Mark Knopfler, Gerry Rafferty, Van Morrison and Boy George. She is currently a member of the Orchestra that Fell to Earth (the original Penguin Café Orchestra), Soupsongs, the Murray Head Band, the Terry Reid Band and the reformed seminal 1970s funk/soul ensemble Kokomo. Native American musician Evan Pritchard will join the band for a few songs, supplying the four-century-old pedigree for Woodstock music. Folk/blues legend Wininger, a 2014 inductee into the New York Blues Hall of Fame, was the first artist ever to perform at CBGB and was offered a recording contract with Red Robin Records at age 16. Her latest CD, Little Red Wagon, hit Number Eight on the Folk Music Deejay Chart in 2018. She tours nationally and is an annual feature at the Woodstock Invitational Luthiers’ Showcase.

This concert begins at 8 p.m. on Friday, May 24 at the Christian Science Church, located at 85 Tinker Street in Woodstock.

He married (not all at once) and outlived two pairs of sisters, sired a son who died in the Second Battle of Bull Run, founded a bank, a newspaper and a school and gave teenager (and eventual tycoon) Jay Gould one of his first jobs.

“Most know him as the Greene County tanner, but he is so much more than that: statesman, entrepreneur, innovator, philanthropist and private citizen, Pratt is one of the most interesting early American figures that time has forgotten,” says Carolyn Bennett, curator of “Zadock Pratt: The Man, the Town and the Nation,” which opens this Saturday at the Zadock Pratt Museum. “This exhibit focuses on Pratt the private individual; the founder of Prattsville, one of America’s earliest planned communities; and national leader, pointing the way to such revered American institutions as the Washington Monument, Smithsonian Institution and transcontinental railroad.”

innovation hub, will open its doors to the public for the first time on Saturday, May 25 from noon to 9 p.m. and Sunday, May 26 from noon to 5 p.m.

The free Open House will be a part of Design Hudson 2019, a showcase of the architecture, interiors, home furnishing resources, food, fashion, flair and talent of the Hudson community that offers a free “Saturday Evening Soiree along Warren Street & Beyond.”

Open House attendees can experience the River House Project space through its first art installation, “Upstream,” a two-floor showcase that interplays art, objects and furniture.

The impeccably restored schoolhouse features 19,000 square feet of light-filled open-plan offices with soaring skyline and Hudson River views. RHP serves as a model of energy efficiency and exemplary reuse, reconstructed to retain its stately and solid structure as well as much of its

historic appointments, from tin ceilings to wood floors. With construction just complete, its four will serve the growing creative economy in the region by providing much-needed workspace for professionals – filmmakers, fabricators, designers, inventors, producers, researchers, writers and architects – offering offices, studios and creative suites.

RHP is a collaborative project with Basilica Hudson, which is planning to launch a job training program for the creative, media and event production workforce. Trainees would then find job opportunities within Basilica’s ongoing programs and also among new creative enterprises working from River House, offering pathways to real-world employment. To kick off this new phase of symbiotic development, the River House Project and resident filmmakers will host a benefit to support Basilica Hudson’s film, media and youth training programs

MOVIE

BARDAVON TO SCREEN ORIGINAL STAR WARS TRILOGY ON FATHERS’ DAY

I

s your dad one of those guys who insists that he loves Star Wars, but whines every time a new installment of the saga comes out, because it somehow falls short of his long-nursed headcanon? On Fathers’ Day, you’ll have an opportunity to wipe that bad taste of disappointing prequels and sequels right out of his mouth. The Bardavon will present a three-part Star Wars Marathon, showing all three of the original series – that’s right, the ones almost nobody hated – back-to-back on the big screen. On Sunday, June 16, Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope (1977) will screen at 11 a.m., Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back (1980) at 2 p.m. and Episode VI: The Return of the Jedi (1983) at 5 p.m. (All right, a few people did hate the Ewoks in VI, but not nearly as much as they later learned to hate Jar Jar Binks.)

The Mighty Wurlitzer Organ will play before and after each screening, but with running times each only a little over two hours, you should have still time to duck out for lunch in between films. A full bar, food and snacks will be available in the lobby before, during and after each screening (though you won’t be allowed to bring food and drink to your seat).

Seating is reserved, and tickets cost $10 for one movie, $24 for the entire marathon. Purchase them in person at the Bardavon box office at 35 Market Street in Poughkeepsie, (845) 473-2072; at the UPAC box office at 601 Broadway in Kingston, (845) 339-6088; or via Ticketmaster at (800) 745-3000.

SAMPLE POLISH TAPAS

A visit to Lis Bar in Midtown Kingston

I

11

ALMANAC WEEKLY

May 23, 2019

t’s nearing 5 p.m. on a Friday evening. The staff at the Lis Bar is getting ready to open. Staffers are setting tables, juicing fresh citrus.

Soon a few locals arrive. A train rumbles by just across the street. No matter; people are getting settled in an outdoor patio. They ignore it, sip their cocktails and carry on.

“Lis” is Polish for “fox,” a nod to the location on Foxhall Avenue in Kingston.

Opened by Patty and Jonathan Rich last fall, the newly spiffed-up lounge fits into the neighborhood like it has always been there. Actually, it has, in various incarnations since 1954. The new owners wanted to maintain the friendly atmosphere that patrons have come to expect, while introducing a casual-butupscale aesthetic and a new-to-Kingston culinary offering.

Patty’s parents hail from Krakow, Poland. The family still has connections there, which may have influenced the couple’s decision to serve Polish-inspired tapas plates and inventive cocktails with names like Peasant’s Spring, Room in a Castle and the Meadow. The room, though painted a dark woodsy green, is brightened with mix-and-match lighting and tabletop candles. The décor throughout is rather homey, with books and artsy touches and comfy seating that puts people together.

Being in a neighborhood where people can walk in is one of the reasons the Riches were attracted us to the area.

“The fact that it’s residential,” says Patty.

“And this spot has always been a family establishment.” The presence of their two children, ages 11 and 8, underscores the

familial vibe. They’ve lived in the area for a decade; the kids attend the Kingston Catholic School. They’re rooted. “Being a real part of the community – you can’t do this kind of business and be apart from it,” says Jonathan.

Patty adds, “We want to be a place that appeals to people who live and work right here. Earlier, we had a cocktail called Two Streets Down, because so many people came in and said, ‘Oh, I live two streets down.’ Former owners have come in. That’s what makes me happy: that history still lives here. We have big shoes to fill.” Indeed, buying the building and jumping into those shoes has been an investment with a learning curve.

Jonathan’s background and current “day job” is in consulting. “Patty worked in fine dining in the City for many years,” he says.

“We talked about doing something along these lines for about 15 years. It has been a massive learning experience. We spent about a year on the design and renovation process. Patty did the finish work on these custom-cut slabs of wood.” He indicates the table at which we’re sitting. “I’m not a woodworker, but I like to refinish,” she says. “That’s our MO around here: finding things that have had a life and giving them a new one. Something old and something new. Every day is a surprise.

In the industry, you know that every day, something happens.”

Jonathan acknowledges that it’s a

tough business. “It’s easy to see why so many places fail. There are so many ways you can go wrong – or you have so many different aspects you have to do well to succeed. It’s massively complicated. But on the flip side, what other business can you get involved in with so many interesting things? It’s the food, it’s drink, design, artwork, the music we’re going to play. I don’t think there are that many businesses where you can cut across so many interesting individual aspects.

It makes it really hard, but also very interesting.

You can do the business and express yourself creatively.”

Lis Bar is yet another creative business endeavor adding to the resurgence of Midtown Kingston, where wellestablished arts businesses have thriven for years. Setting the menu each season is a collaborative effort between the bar workers and the chefs. “The Polish tapas is a sort of strange idea,” says Patty, “but I’ve always had the urge to present Polish food in a different way. With the small plates, people won’t be afraid to try things. I had a discussion with our chefs about ‘What is Polish food?’ Things are very seasonal; you utilize everything.

That’s the common thread in our bar and our menu.”

And about those Old Country small plates coming out of the kitchen? How about the house pierogi with roasted potato, farmers cheese, braised beef,

HISTORY Healing on the Hudson Designed by architect Frederic Withers on sylvan grounds landscaped by the famous team of Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, the Hudson River State Hospital, as it was originally called, reflected one man’s progressive notion of asylums as recuperative places for healing

HISTORIC IMAGES COURTESY OF ASYLUMPROJECTS.ORG

The Hudson River State Hospital championed an approach known as “moral treatment,” the brainchild of a Philadelphia doctor named Thomas Story Kirkbride. Doctors at emerging “Kirkbride centers” like the one in Poughkeepsie believed that altering a person’s environment could reverse or at least mediate a person’s “madness.” The means to that end were natural beauty, comfortable, window-laden architecture and participatory sports and entertainment.

T

he man known as the “Squire” sold off his lands overlooking the Hudson River to New York State in 1867, after the family mansion burned to the ground. There would be other mansions to build, other stately lands to purchase and develop in nearby Hyde Park.

The state paid $85,000 – the equivalent of roughly $1.4 million today – for 296 acres of rolling woodlands in the Town of Poughkeepsie. That kind of money in antebellum America could not only buy a lot of land, it could also buy a lot of solace for a family facing the loss of their home.

Solace, as it turned out, was something that “Squire” James Delano Roosevelt’s lands would provide for many tens of thousands of faceless, needy people during the ensuing years. It was on his family’s lands that a revolutionary hospital was built: the Hudson River Hospital for the Insane.

The new institution’s innovations were both philosophical and physical. Until the mid-19th century, men, women and children suffering from the psychological

problems often created by poverty were routinely thrown into poorhouses or “insane asylums” of unrivaled degradation.

But with the end of the Civil War, state governments, suddenly faced with an unprecedented influx of mentally damaged veterans, began to recognize the need for institutions where combatants suffering from what we’d now call PTSD could convalesce.

Enter not only the Hudson River State Hospital (the “Insane” appellation was soon dropped), but also a new philosophy for treating the mentally ill. The HRSH championed an approach known as “moral treatment,” the brainchild of a Philadelphia doctor named Thomas Story Kirkbride. Doctors at emerging “Kirkbride centers” like the one in the Town of Poughkeepsie believed that altering a person’s environment could reverse or at least mediate a person’s “madness.” The means to that end were natural beauty, comfortable, windowladen architecture and participatory sports and entertainment.

To accomplish this, the so-called “Kirkbride Plan” required not only a bucolic setting, but also a structure that made Kirkbride’s therapeutic philosophy possible. The signature building at the HRSH featured a main administrative structure whose “bat-wing” style floorplan included dormitories and public spaces for residents that spread out from the building, which was called – you guessed it – the Kirkbride Building.

The hospital was the architectural product of three key players: The main Administration Building was designed

by Frederick Clarke Withers, who was renowned in his day as a creator of classic Gothic Revival-style buildings. If his star has faded with time, the burnish on the names of Frederick Law Olmsted and his partner Calvert Vaux has only increased over the years. These co-creators of Central Park were responsible for designing the grounds and landscaping of the hospital.

Initially, almost anybody could be admitted to the hospital. According to several sources, patients suffering from afflictions no more serious than job loss, marital difficulties or plain mental exhaustion found their way to Olmsted and Vaux’s sun-speckled Great Lawn. Men accused of crimes great and small checked into the hospital to avoid prosecution, joining the ranks of injured war vets whose numbers only increased with the

WILL DENDIS | ALMANAC WEEKLY

Olmsted and Vaux’s Great Lawn appears to be the only remnant of the facility that will be rehabilitated and preserved as part of a mixed-use development featuring a projected 750 residential units, a supermarket, 150,000 square feet of retail space and a possible motel.

coming of two world wars.

As the years went by and the hospital grew (sometime accompanied by financial scandals), new and controversial therapies were introduced, including such things as “tub therapy,” in which patients were essentially forced to spend weeks and even months sitting in an enclosed tub of warm water. (Later, water played an even more sinister role when cold-water hosings were used on recalcitrant patients.) Suffice it to say that it was the rare psychological therapy or theory over the past 140 years that wasn’t brought to bear on patients at the Hudson River State Hospital.

Like the therapies used over the years, the grounds themselves were a miscellany of styles. Withers’ main building (which was never fully completed) was surrounded by a collection of structures that ranged from the mundane to the bizarre.

Time has not been kind either to Kirkbride’s memory nor to the hospital to which his philosophy gave birth. The Hudson River Psychiatric Center (as it was rechristened) had been in decline since the 1980s – a decline hastened by radically changing fashions in mental health treatment and shrinking state funds. It has been 15 years since the Center was shuttered and become a vine-covered,

lightning-struck collection of derelict buildings.

Stand today at the once-magnificent, now-weatherbeaten entrance to the Kirkbride Building and look down on Olmsted and Vaux’s Great Lawn. Like the entire site, it has regressed over the years into an overgrown jungle of vines and scrub bushes and trees. Long-abandoned buildings are rattling, dangerous skeletons of their former selves, festooned with graffiti, magnets for the homeless and the adventurous. Fires – a constant danger for the town’s two volunteer fire companies – have contributed further to the facility’s physical demise.

The Kirkbride Administration Building officially closed in 2001, the victim of radically changing policies toward the mentally ill that began in the 1970s, when institutions like the hospital were effectively emptied in the name of providing the “least restrictive environments” for the mentally ill. The entire facility was officially closed on January 25, 2012, by which time sunshine and fresh air had proven to be no more the panacea Kirkbride had said they would be than homelessness and a reliance on behavioral drugs have proven to be.

Since the turn of the century, developers have proposed a variety of plans to

ALMANAC WEEKLY

May 23, 2019 repurpose the site while residents and political leaders have struggled with various proposals. Chief among those would-be developers is Hudson Heritage, LLC, which bought 156 acres from the state for $2.75 million in 2005. Since then, Hudson Heritage has not only undergone the usual years-long environmental reviews, but also made several proposals for the land and its buildings.

Initial plans called for the preservation of some of the site’s buildings; but, between chronic arson, age-weakened, unsafe structures and the occasional lightning strike, it seems unlikely that much of the original structures will survive the wrecking ball. Olmsted and Vaux’s Great Lawn appears to be the only remnant of the facility that will be rehabilitated and preserved as part of a mixed-use

development featuring a projected 750 residential units, a supermarket, 150,000 square feet of retail space and a possible motel. Buildings have been razed and large swaths of overgrowth have been clear-cut in anticipation of a preliminary opening of some of the property in 2020 to 2021. (Spokesmen for the developers did not return requests for comments.)

Town of Poughkeepsie supervisor John Baisley sighs when he recounts the years spent determining the fate of the old hospital and its grounds. “They’ve done a lot to make it happen, but it’ll take years,” he said. He has been told that the project will cost at least $288 million. Asbestos abatement alone has already cost at least $15 million. And while Baisley said that he hopes the façade of the Kirkbride Building can be preserved with new office space

augmenting it, he didn’t sound optimistic.

Baisley’s only too aware of the costs of hospital to the town during its long decline. He’s a member of one of the town’s two volunteer fire companies, and has seen firsthand what a danger to his colleague an intentionally set fire or one triggered by lightning can pose to firefighters. And he marvels that latenight partiers and graffiti artists haven’t yet been seriously injured in the decrepit structures.

All in all, he said, he’s happy that the project is finally coming to fruition, as are Republican and Democrat board

13 members. The town stands to gain substantial income in property taxes and increased business traffic.

It took the Hudson River State Hospital six years to grow from a plan in 1867 to a reality in 1873. It has already taken more than twice that number of years for Hudson Heritage to move from the drawing board to reality. There’s no telling if time will be any kinder to Hudson Heritage than it was to the Hudson River State Hospital for the Insane.

HISTORY

Beacon’s hatmaking history

M

aybe you’ve already heard about Rosendale cement, the violetgrowing industry in northern Dutchess County and the heyday of cauliflower in Margaretville. But does your knowledge of the economic history of the Hudson Valley include the fact that the City of Beacon was the hatmaking capital of New York State for more than a century, second only to Danbury, Connecticut as a hub of hat manufacturing nationally?

The neighborhood in which some 50 hat factories sprang up was originally a separate community bordering the Fishkill Creek, known as Matteawan. The Matteawan Manufacturing Company was the first in the area devoted specifically to hat production.

Its shop on East Main Street, opened in 1864, employed a workforce of 500 people.

Among the other firms seeking to emulate its success were the Aldo Hat Company, Carroll’s Straw Hat Factory, National Felt Works, Tompkins Hat Factory, Genuine Panama Hat Company, Tioronda Hat Shop and Dutchess Hat Works. The latter occupied a large three-story factory that produced 450 dozen felt hats daily during the 1890s and operated its own showroom in Manhattan.

But by the 1940s, fashions had changed, and lower-priced foreign competition took away much of the business from that shrinking segment of the American populace who still wore hats on a regular basis. Some of the hatteries shifted their production lines to wartime supplies and other wares, while others went out of business altogether.

The very last operating remnant of the Beacon industry, the Dorel Hat Company, permanently shut the doors of its warehouse near the Metro North station in 2005.

A Hat Parade down Main Street was organized that same year to commemorate this important piece of the city’s industrial history, and was revived annually until 2009.

Some of the former hat factories are still standing, inviting repurposing as the City of Beacon undergoes economic revival as a commuter town and arts hub. One of the Beacon was the hatmaking capital of New York State for more than a century, oldest of these, the 1879 Tioronda Hat Factory at 555 South Avenue, was ravaged by second only to Danbury, Connecticut as a hub of hat manufacturing nationally. fire on January 31, 2017, and most of its remaining walls were bulldozed a few days later. Later renamed the Merrimac Hat Company, the structure had remained a hat shop until 1948, when it was sold to the Atlas Fibers Company to be used for textile reprocessing. The building had been abandoned for years by the time the fire destroyed it.

At last report, a developer was eyeing the Tioronda Hat Factory site with the intent of building condominiums. It’s easy to see its appeal: The property follows the bank of the Fishkill Creek, and a boardwalk connecting the eastern and western sections of Scenic Hudson’s Madam Brett Park passes on the creek side of one of the brick factory walls still standing. A half-mile stroll east along the White Trail takes you to the foot of the Tioronda Falls overlook. The boardwalk following westward along the back of the privately owned former factory complex connects with the Red Trail, which leads to a viewing platform overlooking the Fishkill Marsh, which is a great birdwatching site.

This entire stretch of creek frontage has historical significance, since it was the site of the gristmill operated by Catheryna Rombout Brett (1687-1764). She was the daughter and sole surviving heir of Francis Rombouts, a Belgian fur trader who became an early mayor of New York City, and who in 1683, with two partners, purchased from the Wappinger tribe an 85,000-acre tract of land in the area that would one day become Beacon, known as the Rombout Patent.

After Rombouts’ death in 1691, the parcel was broken up, with Catheryna inheriting 28,000 acres. She and her husband Roger Brett moved there from Manhattan, Some of the former hat factories are still standing, inviting repurposing as the City establishing a homestead and the mill that Catheryna continued to operate long after of Beacon undergoes economic revival as a commuter town and arts hub. One of the Brett’s 1718 death in a boat wreck. That mill became a trading post where Madam oldest of these, the 1879 Tioronda Hat Factory at 555 South Avenue, was ravaged by Brett established friendly relations with the local indigenous people. She is said to fire on January 31, 2017. (Shown above) Tioronda Bridge by the old hat factory in have taught English to Daniel Ninham, last sachem of the Wappinger people, in order Beacon (photo courtesy of Library of Congress) to prepare him to defend his tribe’s land claims in British courts.

The Madam Brett Homestead, on Van Nydeck Avenue in Beacon, is regarded as the oldest surviving home in Dutchess County, operated as a historic site by the Daughters of the American Revolution. You can easily combine a tour of the house with a stroll along the Fishkill Creek, with stops in both ends of Madam Brett Park and glimpses of hat factory ruins in between. A useful trail map can be found at www.scenichudson.org/sites/default/files/MadamBrett.webmap.png.

ALMANAC WEEKLY

NIGHT SKY

Constant as the northern star

T

he sky’s most famous star? No contest: It’s Polaris, the North Star. And like most celebrities, it’s enveloped in misconception.

People often assume, for example, that it’s brilliant. But Polaris is just mediumbright – about 45th on the sky’s list of luminaries – capable of appearing over light-polluted cities but never brilliant enough to catch one’s eye. Polaris may be amazing, but its brightness is not its calling card. Its uniqueness becomes clear only after it has been ignored for a few hours.

By then, Earth’s rotation will have whirled the sky around, arcing the stars in their grand and endless ballet. But not Polaris. Our axis of spin points in its direction, causing Polaris to appear glued in place. “Constant as the northern star,” said Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, longing perhaps to link to it his own dreams of immortality.

It’s an unlikely reality, this conspicuous distant sun sitting within a single degree of the celestial pole, the precise spot around which everything pivots. Given the 41,253 square degrees of sky, the odds against such a noticeable star occupying the right spot is nearly a thousand-to-one.

It’s then not surprising that those living south of the Equator, where Polaris is invisible, do not have a “south star” to mark the sky’s other pole.

Polaris can be identified most easily right now, at nightfall in spring, because the Big Dipper hovers at its highest of the year. Follow its two leftmost “pointer” stars downward to the only star of the same brightness as they; that’s it.

Over the centuries, the slow 25,780-year wobble of Earth’s axis allows a procession of stars to take turns being closest to the site around which the sky performs its counterclockwise spin. But never in those 26 millennia is there a star as bright and as close to true north as Polaris. We live in the unlikely era of the best possible North Star. This implausible situation continues to improve as Polaris slowly creeps toward its half-degree flyby of the celestial pole 87 years from now.

In one’s imagination, it’s fun to drop a stone straight down from Polaris, because it then touches true north to an accuracy of better than a degree. A compass, by contrast, follows magnetic lines of force and is badly in error from most locations. From the midHudson Valley, compasses point a whopping 14 degrees to the left of north.

Turns out, that distant celebrity to which Earth’s axis happens to point is remarkable

Polaris can be identified most easily right now, at nightfall in spring, because the Big Dipper hovers at its highest of the year.

in its own right. For starters, it’s not an ordinary sun but a “Cepheid variable”: a giant pulsating star shining with the light of at least 1,000 suns.

This brightness varies over a four-day period by an amount too small for the eye to notice. The tiny flickering was unfortunate at first, since the entire system of measuring the brightness of stars originally used Polaris as its standard. Polaris defined Magnitude Two. But you can’t have an unreliable standard star, and the system moved on.

As if petitioning for another chance, its fluctuations have been strangely diminishing.

While Polaris varied its light by .1 magnitude when the 20th century began, in our new century the flickerings are less than .01 magnitude. One Canadian researcher has predicted that the North Star’s variations will soon come to a complete and permanent standstill, granting it yet another curious distinction: as the first Cepheid variable to give up its unsteady habits.

Check it out during this month, when it’s simplest to find. Or put it off until whenever; Polaris is going nowhere. For, in every sense, “constant as the northern star” is becoming truer than ever.

DAISY; 4-year old tiger cat girl whose caregiver had to go to an assisted living facility. So, sweet Daisy has to deal w/losing the person who loved her most and finds herself in strange territory; an animal shelter. It’s understandable that Daisy is a bit shy; for now. TURTLE; 6-year old tiger cat boy & one of the sweetest and most loving cats you’ll meet! 2 very shy 1-year old Tortie Cats need a quiet home where they can be given the time they need to trust again.

LOLA; 12-year plus calico cat girl. Her mom passed away suddenly & doesn’t understand

why her life has been turned upside downshe’s now in a cage in a shelter. She’s a shy cat girl who needs someone who’ll love & care for her just like her mama did. TIGER; very sweet 6-year old brown tabby cat girl who’d make a perfect addition to your loving family. LILY; 8-year old cat girl came in naked.

She lost most of her fur due to a flea allergy.

Hair has mostly grown back. Very sweet.

ATHENA; 2-3 year old sweet, independent, affectionate, opinionated black & white cat girl. She was a wonderful mom & her kittens were all adopted. Now it’s her turn to be loved. LEXI; beautiful tiger cat girl w/a heart of gold! Lexi was adopted, but was bullied by the resident cat, and now finds herself back at the shelter. If you can give this 3-year old sweetheart the quiet, loving home she needs, she’ll thank you every day!

DORIAN; shy, spayed, 2-3 year old female cat who just needs a quiet house to decompress & be loved. Dorian was a lonesome stray. Kittens ARE COMING! LACY; 7-year old female pittie mix. Very sweet and low energy. She’s a doll! SABRINA; 4-year old Hound mix girl. She’s very sweet & affectionate. Please- no cats. Dogs- males only & need a “meet & greet”.
