World’s Largest Swimming Lesson at SplashDown Beach on Thursday SplashDown Beach, the popular water park in Fishkill, will be participating in the “World’s Largest Swimming Lesson” on Thursday June 20.

Founded by the World Waterpark Association in 2010, the event serves as a platform to build awareness about the fundamental importance of teaching children to swim. The purpose of the lesson is to provide kids and parents exposure to lifesaving water safety skills and build awareness about the vital importance of teaching children to swim to help prevent drowning.

The program is designed to connect the dots between the real risk of childhood drowning and the need for basic water competency skills. For more information and to register for the World’s Largest Swimming Lesson, visit the website.

Foraging, herbal medicine workshops this weekend in Woodstock & Red Hook The back-tothe-land movement of the 1970s spurred a revival of interest not only in organic farming, but also in foraging for wild foods and medicinal herbs. Now, with epochal climate change driving the desire to get off the grid and live as sustainably as possible, a whole new generation too young to remember Euell Gibbons is turning its attention to these same pursuits. We’re fortunate to have a number of highly experienced foragers and herbalists living among us here in the mid-Hudson, and several of them are offering workshops at a meadow near you this summer.

Long ensconced on the wild outskirts of Woodstock, on a compound that she calls the Wise Woman Center, Susun Weed (pictured above) may be fairly described as the dean of green witches in America. Her Wise Woman Herbal books have guided thousands of women through childbearing, menopause and general selfcare since the 1980s. She’ll be hosting two training sessions there this weekend, with more to come later in the year.

On Saturday, June 22, participants in “The Great Remedies: Hands-On Herbal Medicine� will harvest some of Weed’s favorite healing herbs, including elder, comfrey, dandelion, nettle, motherwort, ,

The Friends of Tillson Lake are hoping to convince the Palisades Interstate Park Commission to abandon its plans to “dewater�

Tillson Lake, a 24-acre reservoir fed by the Palmaghatt Kill near the foot of the Shawangunk Ridge

EVENT

Buy a cake to save the lake Friends of Tillson Lake host a Bake for the Lake fundraiser on Saturday in Gardiner

I

n case you missed it, residents of the part of the Town of Gardiner nearby Tillson Lake have been organizing for more than a year now to halt a plan by the Palisades Interstate Park Commission (PIPC) to “dewater� the 24-acre manmade reservoir fed by the Palmaghatt Kill near the foot of the Shawangunk Ridge. The scenic site became part of the Minnewaska State Park Preserve in 2006 as part of the settlement of the Awosting Reserve (“Save the Ridge�) development dispute. Today Tillson Lake is open to the public, and has been a popular fishing, boating and birding spot for many decades.

In March 2018, neighbors received a letter from the PIPC saying that the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) had red-flagged the dam at the foot of the lake as potentially unsafe, and that state funding was not available to repair or replace it. So the agency was planning to remove it altogether and allow the lakebed to drain and become overgrown. Many adjacent homeowners have deeded lake rights, and they vowed to fight the plan, bringing in their own environmental consultants to conduct studies bolstering their arguments that the shallower half of the lake qualifies as wetland that should be protected

by DEC. They’re also lobbying state officials to find funding to rebuild the dam.

Taking on a bureaucratic Goliath is no cheap and easy matter, so the Friends of Tillson Lake, Inc. are putting on a fundraiser on Saturday, June 22 at Stone Wave Yoga in Gardiner. A baked-goods auction is the centerpiece of this event, titled Bake for the Lake. Food, drinks and live music will also be provided at this “Sweet Benefit,� which runs from 5 to 8 p.m. Entry costs $15 general admission, $7 for children aged 4 and up. Bakers who would like to donate homemade goodies for the auction should e-mail info@savetillsonlake.org or write to Friends of Tillson Lake, Box 228, Gardiner, NY 12525. Stone Wave Yoga is located at 2694 Route 44/55, just west of the hamlet of Tuthilltown. To learn more about the “dewatering� issue, visit https:// savetillsonlake.org/our-story.

Woodstock Library offers free loan of croquet, bocce sets What’s so engaging about moving spheres around on a lawn, sometimes knocking them into each other on purpose and other times aiming them at metal prongs arranged in a pattern?

Is it the appealing sound of wood on wood? Is it the acquired skill needed to aim and reach the intended target?

Is it the camaraderie of meaningless competition, accompanied by lighthearted conversation?

Perhaps any excuse to get outdoors and enjoy the fresh air and sunshine is a

good enough one. The Woodstock Public Library offers any library cardholder the opportunity to do just that. For the second summer, Woodstockers can borrow sets of croquet and bocce ball equipment to use on the grounds for no fee and with no time limit.

Though the lawn is not regulation flat, there’s plenty of room for three or four games to be played at once. Circulation clerk Hollie Ferrara says that people can set up a course out front or in the green stretch on the other side of the parking lot. “We’ve got several laminated pages of instructions and rules. You can play for as long as you want. We only ask that the equipment not leave the Library grounds and be brought back before closing time in good condition.”

Next time you’re meandering around town with nothing better to do, give it a try. And visit www.woodstock.org to discover other programs happening this season. The Woodstock Library is located in the village at 5 Library Lane. Call (845) 679-2213.

When life is too busy to allow a summer getaway to the seacoast, midHudsonites always have the option of a shore break close to home by taking a stroll along the Strand in Kingston’s Rondout Historic District. And this Saturday presents an enticing incentive to pay the waterfront a visit: the annual Antique and Classic Boat Show. Tied up at the docks along the Maurice Hinchey Promenade will be dozens of beautifully kept vintage wooden watercraft that will make you pine to run away to sea, their shiny brass fittings glinting in the sunshine.

At noon, these handsome sailboats and electric motorboats, plus a working steamboat or two, will take their places in a stately floating parade up the Rondout Creek.

This gathering of salty historic preservationists is just one component of the Hudson River Maritime Museum’s Maritime Festival, which goes on from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on June 22 and is a great place to bring the kids. Hands-on craft activities include constructing and decorating miniature boats with members of the Mid-Hudson Woodworkers, and making a keychain, signal-flag name tag, sailor hat or mask. The Hudson River Fishermen’s Association will offer fishing lessons for kids; there will be facepainting and a scavenger hunt, plus live music for all in T. R. Gallo Park.

but they have a special resonance in the current exhibit at ‘T’ Space, the wooded compound created by architect Steven Holl a few miles outside of Rhinebeck.

Hung chest-high, which causes the viewer to look down into each piece rather than scanning the wall above – close to one’s heart, rather than in a place apart – the 35 approximately eight-by-nineinch ink-and-gouache paintings consist of calligraphic marks applied with a stick, whose formal language ranges from dis-

crete characterlike figures arranged in a loose grid to an overall tangle of lines that read as a Pollockesque energized field.

Within these parameters, Marden creates a seemingly endless set of variables: The thick skeins of lines vary in thickness, or rise smokelike in a column on one section of the page, which otherwise is filled with loosely spaced calligraphic marks.

The marks themselves vary in kind, from inchoate, embryonic forms to forcefully articulated, as if they belonged to different languages; some of the linear forms are applied with more

pressure, others with a looser touch, responsive to gravity. White gouache paint is applied in places, creating a subtle tonal variation, a wisp of atmosphere.

Precise but nonspecific, spontaneous yet deliberate, meditative yet full of movement that captures the dance of the artist’s arm and hand, the paintings push the Minimalist e n v e l o p e , expressing ideas of balance, fluidity, structure, texture, gesture and tonality. They have the slow, easy grace of a raindrop falling down a pane of glass, the fresh staccato of bird tracks and the brush of a wing left in the snow.

Their sense of harmony, of their connection to nature, is enhanced by the gallery space itself, which was designed

by Holl. Half-hidden in the woods – the building’s weathered wood siding is a kind of camouflage – the T-shaped gallery (configured so that a portion of the space is always hidden from view, despite the fact the building is only 750 square feet, explained the architect) is completely illuminated by natural light, including several large skylights. At the opening on June 2, Holl noted that the gallery is proportioned on the Golden Section: a mathematical ratio that is found in the nautilus shell as well as other patterns in nature. He said that architects such as Kahn, Sullivan and Le Corbusier utilized the Golden Section, as did Bartók in his compositions, and he noted that Marden himself “cut a Golden Section line” in his choice of axis for hanging his paintings – which perhaps explains why they look so nestled in the space, so at one with it.

It was a day of connections. The extraordinary event also united the artist and his Cold Mountain paintings with their literary source: Red Pine’s translation of the Cold Mountain poems, which were written by the ninth-century Chinese poet Han Shan (the name translates to “Cold Mountain”) – a volume that consists of both the original Chinese characters, which were the initial inspiration for Marden, and the English translation. (In a 1991 interview with artist Pat Steir, which was printed in part on a flyer given out at the event, Marden said that he based his paintings on the form of the poems, which is four couplets and five or ten characters per couplet.) Holl noted that he had recently bestowed the Thornton Wilder Prize for translation on Red Pine, a/k/a Bill Porter, on behalf of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, which gave him the idea of approaching Marden, who lives in nearby Tivoli, about showing his Cold Mountain paintings at the ‘T’ Space Gallery with a reading by Porter. Marden agreed to participate, resulting in a gathering that was a perfect expression of the cross-fertilization and synthesis of the arts as well as art’s place in nature that is the mission of ‘T’ Space.

The gallery was founded by Holl, under the auspices of the Steven Myron Holl Foundation, in 2010, and is directed and curated by his sister-in-law, Susan Wides.

Wearing a yellow tee-shirt with a red bandana, Porter, who also won this year’s Poetry Award from ‘T’ Space, stood at the podium under the large tent and read selections from his volume of translated Cold Mountain poems – first in Chinese, which to Western ears had a kind of sing-songy, atonal musicality to them, and then in English. The presence of the poet and translator, who lived in a Buddhist monastery in Taiwan in the 1970s and resides in Washington State, emphasized ‘T’ Space’s connection to the

Pacific Northwest, which Holl observed is a “special place apart.” (He himself is from Washington State.) That connection of the West Coast with the mysticism and Buddhism of the Far East, as exemplified by the Beats and in particular poet Gary Snyder, who lives and writes on a

more than 1,000 years ago.

While hermits are viewed as misfits in the West, Porter said that they were deeply respected in ancient China as sages. Formerly a government official, as were many of the ancient Chinese poets who had exiled themselves in nature, Han Shan “is the only poet whose name we don’t know,” he added, hence the translation into the vernacular “Cold Mountain.” Porter spoke about the meaning of emptiness in Buddhism, of Han Shan as a “spiritual practitioner.” He read:

Marden and his paintings were united with their literary source: Red Pine’s translation of the Cold Mountain poems, which were written by the ninth-century Chinese poet Han Shan

People ask the way to Cold Mountain but roads don’t reach Cold Mountain in summer the ice doesn’t melt and the morning fog is too dense how did someone like me arrive our minds are not the same if they were the same you would be here As he finished reading, barely audible above the reedy chirp of crickets and croaks of frogs was the gentle chiming of Tibetan bowls. Raphael Mostel, who composed and played the singing bowls in a composition called Sounding the Space, was accompanied by three local timbal players. It was a meditative touch that seemed to bridge the 1,000-year-old gap between the composition of the poems and the present moment.

“Brice Marden: Cold Mountain Studies,” located at 137 Round Lake Road, in Rhinebeck, will be open to the public on

mountain in Northern California, was made latent by the presence of Porter; but a walk down to the nearby lake would reveal another echo of that Eastmeets-West ethos: Perched on the shore is Holl’s tarpaper shack, in which he paints the watercolors that inspire his architectural creations. The sight of the humble lakeside abode evokes the spirit of the Chinese hermits who composed poetry in their Spartan retreats in the mountains

Sundays from noon to 5 p.m. through August 11. Admission costs $20, with a sliding scale. The fee also includes access to a two-mile art installation trail, which courses through the 30-acre property on the opposite side of the road. The trail intersects a 900-foot-long piece by Richard Nonas, consisting of a city-blocklong expanse of rail-tie crossbeams laid on the ground, which Wides describes as “an emotional landscape,” part sculpture, part architectural construction, that hikers traverse as another path through the preserve. Also visible from the trail is Oscar Tuazon’s Tent, a rectilinear structure of curved steel rods with an arched roof tucked under a row of dramatic cantilevered beams and pieces

by Holl and other architects.

“Steven designed and had the trail cut so that it maximizes and brings special attention to the landscape, including the crisscrossing stone walls,” said Wides.

The trail begins at the left-hand side of his extraordinary Ex of In House, an offthe-grid home, now rented out to guests, which despite its 918 square feet contains soaring, spherical spaces raked by natural light. The building is ingeniously structured around the intersection of a set of spheres and tesseracts, and the sense of a dynamic space, alternately compressed and expanding, is complemented by views of a serene reflecting pool and the surrounding woods. (The house is accessible to the public on a private tour.)

On July 14, at the next ‘T’ Space event, a show of photographs, writings, models and historic maps focused on the book by the late educator Astra Zarina, I Tetti di Roma, will open in a new building designed by Holl, which eventually will house his archives – consisting of thousands of models, documents, paintings and sculptures – and serve as a research library. Called Artarc, the 2,700-square-foot structure is clad in corrugated aluminum. Zarina’s book examines the public spaces in Rome for insights into how civic life could be renewed in contemporary urban design, which tends to omit or privatize such spaces. The opening will also feature a reading by poet Elaine Equi, whose book, Ripple Effect: New & Selected Poems, was a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize and shortlisted for Canada’s prestigious Griffin Poetry Prize. “Rome and the Teacher” will run through August 24; however, the show will be open only by appointment.

The final exhibit of the season will feature the work of Clytie Alexander and Raoul Hague, described in the press release as “two abstract artists in dialogue,” which will open on August 18. Alexander, whose work consists of variations in a series, employs light and color to suggest motion and stillness and draw attention to the surrounding space as much as their own precincts. Hague, who died in 1993, was a Woodstock artist who was born in Constantinople in 1904 and moved to New York in 1928, where he studied with William Zorach at the Art Students League and was introduced to carving in stone by John Flannagan, and settled in the upstate art colony in the early 1940s.

His abstract wood sculptures retain the mass of the tree-trunks from which they are carved: monumental, blocky forms that twist and turn on their axes, resulting in a Cubist-inspired art that is both elemental and elegant. It should be a treat to see Hague’s work displayed in the Minimalist, white-walled, naturally illuminated space of the ‘T’ Space Gallery.

Jin Hi Kim will perform on the komungo, a traditional Korean instrument, at the opening, which will also feature a reading by poet Anna Moschovakis.

Wilderstein Sculpture Biennial on view now A great day trip in the Hudson Valley is Wilderstein, the rescued Queen Anne-style mansion in Rhinebeck that was home to FDR confidante Margaret “Daisy” Suckley until her death in 1991 at the age of 99 ½. The original Italianate country home, designed

by John Warren Ritch, was built in 1852 for Thomas Suckley and his wife Catherine Murray Bowne. It was remodeled and enlarged in 1888 at the behest of Thomas’ son Robert Bowne Suckley and his wife Elizabeth Philips Montgomery; Poughkeepsie architect Arnout Cannon elaborately transformed the two-story villa, adding a third floor, multi-gabled attic and a dramatic five-story circular tower.

The fanciful, asymmetrical roofline of the house was complemented by the addition of an imposing porte cochere and an expansive veranda. New York City decorator Joseph Burr Tiffany designed the interiors, which feature rich, warm woodwork.

Besides the house itself and its historical collections, Wilderstein – “wild man’s stone,” so named after an indigenous petroglyph found on the property – is worth a visit on a fine day not only for its expansive Hudson River and Catskill Mountain views, but also for the glorious terrain immediately surrounding it.

The 40-acre estate was sculpted in the Romantic landscape style by none other than Calvert Vaux, co-designer of Central Park in New York City, who created an intricate network of carriage drives, walks and trails adorned with specimen trees and ornamental shrubs. The landscape plan entails well-chosen prospect points marked by rustic gazebos and sheltered garden seats.

The trail system that traverses the property is approximately three miles long and takes about one hour to hike. There is no charge to walk the grounds and trails, and parking is available off Morton Road near Wilderstein’s Gate Lodge during hours when the mansion is not open for tours. A trail guide can be downloaded at http://wilderstein.org/wp-content/ uploads/trailguideforweb2018.pdf.

This summer, there’s yet another reason to visit Wilderstein and its environs: the fifth Outdoor Sculpture Biennial, curated for 2019 by noted Hudson Valley artist Franc Palaia. Strategically poised throughout the grounds will be 25 sculptures created – using a wide array of materials, from traditional to modern to recycled – by Willie Cole, David Provan, James Meyer, Joe Chirchirillo, Dave Channon, Naomi Teppich, Suprina, Alison McNulty, Julia Whitney Barnes, Bill Rybak, Beth Haber, Emil Alzamora, Hans Van Meeuwen, Ken Hiratsuka, Bernard Klevickas, John Van Alstine, Casey A. Schwarz, Nicolae Golici, Christopher Lewis, William Scholl, Stuart Farmery, Dan Goldman, Andrés San Millán, Vincent Murray and Chuck Von Schmidt.

The Biennial is on view daily from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. through October 31.

Free curator-guided walking tours are scheduled for two Sundays: July 21 and September 22, both at 1 p.m. To learn more, visit http://wilderstein.org. The

The Woodstock Artists Association & Museum (WAAM) celebrates 100 years of art, community, history and creativity in the summer of 2019.

WAAM’s centennial anniversary will be recognized at a special Birthday Party on Saturday, July 20, held under the tent in the backyard of WAAM’s Tinker Street grounds. Birthday cake will be provided by Bistro-to-Go and ice cream donated by Jane’s Ice Cream. There will be prosecco, musical performances by the Xtractions and classical guitarist Gilles Malkine and a variety of activities and commemorative presentations.

In preparation for WAAM’s birthday party, they are asking community members to come paint the cake, a seven-foot-high birthday cake sculpture designed and donated by Steve Robin, on Saturday, June 22, from 2 until 6 p.m.

The community-decorated cake will be on display in front of WAAM from June 22 until July 20.

The special events and exhibitions continue all summer long. From June 15 through July 7, WAAM presents “Get

Multicultural Music & Dance at Woodstock Diamond Sokolow Dance Theatre on Sunday Linda Diamond and Company join with the Spirit of Thunderheart Drummers in a multicultural music and dance performance this Sunday to celebrate and meld modern and ethnic dance forms. Diamond’s modern dance group, which is based in both New York City and Woodstock, has performed for more than 20 years in concert halls, educational settings, museums and galleries. The not-forprofit company is focused on introducing audiences to diverse cultural and visual arts themes, employing a wide versatility in styles.

The impulse to honor the traditional dance forms of American Native cultures came about when the repertory group, consisting of four dancers who interpret taped music and sometimes include live performers, collaborated with Donna Coane. Hymn to the Earth is the resulting combination of authentic Native American music and the movements they use in their traditional dance.

“This year is a unique event for us. For many years I’ve been wanting to work with Spirit of Thunderheart. They’re bringing two members of their group and two others. And Luna Anato, an 8-year-old girl, is part of the work with them. She

Kingston. “I knew their group would be represented. She introduced me to Donna.

Now Debra is one of the performers. It turned out to be the answer to what I needed. Donna is a top performer and is very aware of the theatrical issues we face.

Her group lives in this area, and it made my job easier to work with someone who has the authentic background in the style.

The drumming is fantastic, and they’re very versatile performers.

“They know the importance of the symbolic aspect of different movements and how they have to honor the drums and the specific observances of what has to be done and the manner in which it’s to be done.

There’s a great deal of respect and awareness in putting the production together. A written prophecy of the elders will be up on a screen for people to understand the message – the premise being that there is hope for survival through the unity of all people to improve our planet.”

Short play readings in Rhinecliff on Saturday RALPH MOSELEY

ART

Ralph Moseley exhibits for the first time in nearly 50 years

P

ainter Ralph Moseley will end a nearly 50-year-long exhibition hiatus to share a fraction of the work that he has accomplished in the interim. In relatively self-imposed isolation, the artist – who emerged from the Color Field movement in abstract painting of the 1950s and ’60s – never let up from looking at nature and translating what he saw in a manner that seems “halfway between realism and abstraction.”

In an artist’s statement he writes, “I’ve always painted landscapes… I focused on seeing every landscape at the moment that I was looking at it as a dominant overall chord of color that was formed by the combination of the different individual colors in it.” His more realistic landscapes and large-scale stylized figures are depictions of local scenes and people. Recently using only rectangles and lines, he creates asymmetrical compositions and brushstrokes that are looser and freer.

The upcoming exhibit in the Art Gallery of Lockwood Architecture has been curated by Moseley’s longtime friend and champion, Barbara Redfield (an original trustee of Olana). She says, “His studio is a treasure-trove. I pestered him for 20 years to take his work out. After [being involved] in the Color Field movement in the late ’60s early ’70s, he felt that the people who were really worthy were not selling, and he said, ‘That’s it’ and just dropped out of the art world. But he’s painted every single day without any connections to anyone.

“I’ve always felt that his work is incredible. And this gallery is brandnew. The lighting is museum-quality. When Michael Lockwood, also an artist, opened his architectural office, he had the idea that he’d use some space to promote local artists. This is his first big opening of the space.” An overview of many decades of artmaking, the exhibit will include 15 to 20 large oil paintings of landscape, still life and portraits, along with 20 giclée prints that will include line drawings and sketches.

A graduate of Williams College, Moseley exhibited at a gallery on 57th Street and was a part of the 1969 Whitney Biennial before exiting the art world to paint for himself. Allowing his initial idea RALPH MOSELEY to evolve organically on the canvas, Moseley says that he goes where the process tells him to go. Again from his artist statement: “In the past I’ve used several different formats for organizing a picture. I think that from one perspective any serious artist is always doing the same painting again and again for their entire life. Over time the format and type of image may change, but at its root it’s always the same painting. At least that’s always been true for me.”

An opening reception will be held on Saturday, Junee 22 from 4 until 7 p.m. The exhibit will hang through July 29. A portion of sales proceeds will be donated to the Woodstock Artists Association and Museum, Byrdcliffe and the Woodstock Land Conservancy.

participates in a dance called Shadow Flash, about an older woman looking back on her childhood.”

Diamond explains that the focus of the event is environmental awareness, the importance of nature and the contrast with the “cement city,” along with visuals to further conceptualize the idea being presented, which is the unity of all people in order to strengthen our survival. Other pieces on the program are Precipice and Journeys through Her Mother’s Heart – about seven different pieces total, including one by the pioneer of modern

dance, Anna Sokolow.

“This program is suitable for all ages because of the universality of all themes.

Our mission is to communicate with the audience and to send out a message so that there’s a better understanding among people of all backgrounds. I’m originally from Panama and started my career in Paris. I’m very international in my outlook. I realize the importance of so many different cultures having given big contributions to modern dance and jazz and other styles of music that are considered American.”

But Native American culture is often overlooked in artistic venues and collaborations, she says. “My biggest challenge before I started the work was how to honor their style without emulating it. Often that’s a point of annoyance. I’ve been blessed to work with Donna Coane and Spirit of Thunderheart.

I’ve learned a lot. We hope the audience will be enlightened by Hymn to the Earth and have some food for thought.”

Diamond says that she met Debra Joyce, a Native American who was wearing her regalia at an interfaith Thanksgiving in

he curious and singular Welsh songwriter/producer/solo artist Cate Le Bon visits the front room at BSP in Kingston on Tuesday, June 25, supporting her latest release, the bright and chirpy, piano- and synth-driven Reward. Le Bon’s work has always evinced a strange balance of absolute “new quiet” do-it-yourself Minimalism and an experimental willingness regarding sonic elements and ensemble arrangements. The focal point remains, as always, her piquant accented voice, the intimate and surreal candor of her subjects and an opulence of easy melody that may just be the birthright of the Welsh.

Fairly obscure and localized until recent years, Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the US. The observance of June 19th as African American Emancipation Day began in Galveston, Texas in 1865 and has gained in resonance and in recognition in the new century. Today Juneteenth commemorates African American freedom and emphasizes education and achievement.

In the Kitchen debuts new LP at Falcon Underground on Friday

MUSIC

Levon Helm Studios to host Gipsy Kings

T The New Paltz-headquartered original acoustic roots band In the Kitchen is the kind of earthy ensemble who might justifiably decide to make a studio album gathered around one omnidirectional microphone in a nice-sounding, woody room and cut it directly to tape. In fact, while this might not be how their debut record was made, that’s the vibe of it: unvarnished and unprocessed and generally unfussy about anything except a buoyant ensemble feel and the direct delivery of sturdy, traditional songs about people and stuff.

On their new record, Keeping Time, In the Kitchen do not violate this nononsense spirit – now what they are, after all – but two significant developments are readily apparent. First is a greater regard for both the discrete sound of each instrument and for the separation between them. They sound a little less like one part played by ten hands on five boxes, in a good way. Second is a noticeably more girthy suggestion of rock in the midst of

he imperial nature of fusion usually starts with a modern world perspective and toolset trained on something old, something remote, something weird. When they broke onto the charts, the Gipsy Kings reversed the direction of cultural conquest and appropriation, scoring a massive hit with their fiery reworking of “Hotel California” and backing it with year after year of substantive, serious music. For the group’s recent release, Roots, the core members of the Gipsy Kings settled into a stone villa in the small town of St-Andre-de-Bueges in the south of France, where they collaborated with producer Craig Street on the Grammy-nominated acoustic release. For the first time in years, the band recorded without a drum kit, synthesizer or electric bass, bringing the music closer to its Flamenco origins. The legendary Gipsy Kings perform at Levon Helm Studios on Saturday, June 29, with Simi Stone opening. Reserved seats cost $125. Standing room costs $75.

their traditional bluegrass-plus-drums instrumentation. This album has visceral punch and a tight low end: a fine line to straddle in the politically complex world of old folk/new folk aesthetics, but In the Kitchen wears it well. All of the filigree, led by some achingly lovely playing from violinist Evan Shultis, is still right where it needs to be.

The songs belong to the current traditional mode. Ryan Reutershan and Benjy Bruno’s subtle sense of WPA historical voice is not overplayed, as it is by some retro fashionistas, but it is still there, and the reference-borders remain vigilantly guarded to keep a timeless feel, even as many of the songs can be construed as topical. None of this is to suggest that In the Kitchen is caught between styles and identities; they remain, if nothing else, an authentic bunch of friends writing serious and searching songs and enjoying the organic experience of playing together.

But it is bracing and fun to hear them investing in their studio game and taking on the challenge of growth: always a tricky proposition for roots purists.

In the Kitchen celebrates the release of Keeping Time at the Falcon Underground on Friday, June 21. Joining them on the bill are Yard Sale, New Paltz’s masters of tricky and baying progressive folk shenanigans. Should be a great night.

burgh present “Principia: Origins and Destinies,” a solo exhibition of photographs by Evan D’Arpino. D’Arpino’s photographs explore themes of scientific discovery and the human condition in several distinct bodies of work.

The connecting thread in each series is an emphasis on composition, texture and form, as well as evocative lighting and an ambiguous sense of scale. The exhibit runs from June 15 through July 13.

Racing pigs at the Ulster County Fair

Make for the midway Your summer guide to county fairs in the Hudson Valley

F

alse, roving cities of the night: A good county fair should not want for a hint of menace, for a bit of the unsavory and the sense that the whole twobit illusion serves as cover for those “wanted” elsewhere. They say that at Disney World, you never see a door marked “Staff Only,” nor a man carrying a mop and bucket with a walkietalkie on his hip emerging from it. All sightlines are composed. At a good county fair, you catch those sordid peeks behind the flimsy illusion with a frequency that should be at least a little discomfiting.

And if families of motorcyclists flipping around inside an orbital cage while a sh*tkicking country/rock band sings about the flag and what it’s gonna do to you, while somewhere a distorted audio loop keeps saying something about “the world’s biggest rat” as you stumble into what sure seems to be an authentic, unregulated knife-throwing exhibition, make you nervous, imagine now how many of your neighbors feel at O+. But county fairs are for everyone: everyone who dares believe in our commonality, our blood ties to livestock and the Earth and in the high ritualistic value of pure diversion and unhealthy fats as your great-grandparents enjoyed them.

The Orange County Fair in Middletown – so close to Alto Music that I can smell the guitars – kicks off the fair season locally between July 18 and 28. It features, among other bar-rising diversions, pig races and extreme jousting. My own

childhood fair, the tidy Ulster County Fair, takes over the County Fairgrounds in New Paltz from July 30 through August 4, with live music each night including country/ rock stars like Little Texas and rock royalty like Fran Cosmo, formerly of Boston.

The Grahamsville Fair in Neversink calls itself the “Little World’s Fair,” and claims to be, in its 140th year, the oldest independent fair in New York. I believe it, and I love the focus on the traditional, substantive fair fare: emphasis on livestock, agriculture, practical demonstrations and temperate fun as Carrie A. Nation envisaged it. It runs from August 16 through 18.

Everyone knows that the Dutchess County Fair (August 20-25) is a different kind of animal, where the meats are grassfed and the dunking-booth clown issues barbs as pointed as Rabelais (to whom he actually may be related). It’s a prim affair more attuned to the estates, mansions and boutique farms of northern Dutchess.

But it is everyone’s fair, too, and the food simply cannot be beat.

Fair season flows north, and the Columbia County Fair in Chatham takes up the mantle from August 28 through September 2. Pumping up the volume that reminds us of our endangered freedoms, Columbia is big on the gas sports: demolition derby, monster tractors, truckpulling.

The websites are as rustic as the fairgrounds themselves, and about as slick as the midways. But the early-’90s webcraft just adds to the charm, and all the info is there.

BOOKS Ever(More) Provoking the Press author Kevin Lerner exhumes press- critical journal from the ’70s

H

ere’s how Kevin Lerner characterizes the 1970s in his new book Provoking the Press: (MORE) Magazine and the Crisis of Confidence in American Journalism: “The 1970s were a time of conspiracies, cults, the all-surfaceno-depth imagery of Andy Warhol, the self-revelation and self-promotion of the birth of reality television as represented by the television series An American Family, and also a period of multiculturalism, feminism, a lack of self-confidence and an eventual turn to conservatism, with the ‘squares’ becoming the hip by the time of Ronald Reagan’s election.”

That heaping helping of descriptive analysis serves as the background for Lerner’s book, which examines not only the ’70s cultural stew but also the role played by the journalism of the day, as seen through the lens of a small, all-butforgotten magazine called (MORE).

The magazine’s title was a reference to the mark reporters once placed at the bottom of a page of typed copy that indicated another page to follow. For the journalists to whom it was familiar, (MORE) was an apt title. It promised to reveal that there was – or that there should be – more to journalism than the country’s newsrooms acknowledged or even recognized at the time. Lerner’s book is an examination of how hard its founders and contributors worked to provide journalism’s missing pages to hidebound, self-satisfied newsrooms across the country.

Lerner, 42, is an assistant professor of Journalism at Marist College whose interest in the magazine and the era it covered is fired by his dual fascination with journalism and history. His wonder years were spent in the north Texas city of Arlington. When college beckoned, he was eager to get as far away as possible from Texas. He wound up at the University of Pennsylvania, where he saw his dream of being a writer of some kind (“probably racy spy novels”) dissolve under the weight of the English major’s “Great and Boring Novels” curriculum.

But his eyes were soon opened to the

The magazine’s title was a reference to the mark reporters once placed at the bottom of a page of typed copy that indicated another page to follow. For the journalists to whom it was familiar, (MORE) was an apt title. It promised to reveal that there was – or that there should be – more to journalism than the country’s newsrooms acknowledged or even recognized at the time.

pleasures of literary nonfiction. Before long, he’d been accepted into Columbia University’s prestigious Journalism program.

While his future was taking shape there, he still considered himself a New Yorker-writer-in-waiting. He had a few close brushes. He’s the proud owner of a handwritten rejection note from the magazine. “And I did meet [New Yorker] editor David Remnick once,” he humbly offered over coffee at New Paltz’s Commissary last week. “He tapped me on the shoulder at a Greek restaurant and asked me how long the wait was.”

Since graduating from Columbia in 2000, Lerner has navigated through the then-emergent field of what he calls “CD-ROM journalism” all the way to his present position at Marist, where he began the saga of (MORE) as his dissertation.

Lerner drily noted that (MORE)’s critical mandate came at an unusual time: The ’70s were mainstream journalism’s greatest decade. Two cub reporters for the Washington Post had effectively brought down a hugely popular president.

The New York Times had established a

landmark First Amendment legal victory by publishing the Pentagon Papers.

Though Richard Nixon’s hatred of the national press was boundless, he never publicly called its members “enemies of the people.” How could he or anyone else do so, when Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman embodied Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the movie version of their book, All the President’s Men? But all was not well within the smokeand-clatterfi l l e d o ffi c e s of newsrooms across the country, especially as the decade progressed. A new breed of reporter – college-educated, impatient for change, increasingly contemptuous of imposed “objectivity” – found themselves chafing at the industry’s conservative, reactionary and unquestioning ethos under which they were expected to do their jobs.

For J. Anthony Lukas, a co-founder of (MORE) and two-time Pulitzer Prizewinner, the absurdity of “objective” reporting became apparent while covering the notorious Chicago Seven conspiracy trial of 1969 for The New York Times. Lukas recognized it as a political show trial, but was under orders to treat it objectively, as a standard-issue criminal trial. When one of the defendants, antiwar activist David Dellinger, responded to a police officer’s testimony by shouting “Bullshit!”

Lukas had to go to the mat with an editor who forbade such language. They finally agreed on the phrase “barnyard vulgarity.”

The times – and the Times – were that puritanical.

Lukas was still a Timesman in 1971

when he and Richard Pollak and William Woodward III launched (MORE). It was to be – and indeed, it became – a “critical journal” that gave voice to newsroom grievances and alternate ways of viewing and reporting the news. It was, as Lerner makes clear, reformist rather than revolutionary. While it might have owed a debt to the antic, iconoclastic underground press of the day, it could be just as serious – and intellectually challenging – as the New York Review of Books.

And it attracted some of the brightest and the best reporters of the day: Nora Ephron, David Halberstam, Nat Hentoff.

Its annual counter-convention was named after A. J. Liebling, whose elegantly written press criticism in The New Yorker was the unattainable ideal that many of the magazine’s writers often strove to emulate.

But (MORE) didn’ t survive the decade that it covered. It died in 1978 at the hands of the usual villains: a tiny staff, shoestring b u d g e t s , an insecure advertising base and an ultimate failure to make the magazine appealing to a wide-enough general readership.

(MORE)’s focus on journalism captured the ’70s, with all their transitions and breakthroughs and stepping-off points, as no other publication then or since.

And, while Lerner acknowledges that history doesn’t repeat itself exactly, there are some inescapable parallels to today’s similarly roiling decade. Not only are “the media” viewed as an enemy of the people by the president and his devotees, but also as a problematic frenemy by otherwisereasonable people across the political spectrum. The book’s subtitle, The Crisis of Confidence in American Journalism, could easily be applied to a book about today’s conditions.

Attacks on a profession that has grown old and gray since its halcyon, heroic days are as common as online come-ons.

But (MORE) wasn’t about attacking the press. And neither, Lerner says, will such attacks from any political quarter improve the chances of Americans discovering what Lerner unabashedly calls the real

Though Richard Nixon’s hatred of the national press was boundless, he never publicly called its members “enemies of the people.”

journalist’s quest: truth.

Today’s journalists, he believes, should effectively own up to backgrounds that right-wing critics condemn them for: that they come from good schools, that they live in “elitist” enclaves like New York or Chicago or San Francisco. “But they need to say, ‘We are doing our best to tell you what is happening. We’re not trying to trick you; we’re not in anyone’s pocket.’ I think we’d be better off as a media ecosystem if we had more different points of view.”

There’s even, he says, a parallel to (MORE) to be found today. Call it a sort of decentralized body of work that can provide the critical function that was (MORE)’s mission. Lerner believes we’re in “a golden age of gadflies” whose work is providing top-quality press criticism. He lists the Columbia Journalism Review, the Washington Post’s Margaret Sullivan and Eric Wemple, David Folkenflik and On the Media at NPR, Jack Shafer at Politico and Brian Stelter at CNN. And the future of journalism? “I’m hopeful. With everything that’s going on, it helps to be a historian, in that you can see that we’ve gotten out of other things...I think that journalism is going to continue.

I don’t think that the industry that we have right now is necessarily going to be what supports it, but in some ways, that’s what makes it so great to be teaching Journalism

right now: because so much is going on, we don’t know what the future’s going to be.”

STAGE Raise the curtain

Powerhouse Theater season at Vassar gets underway on Thursday

T

he professional theater, like the world of serious music, is not immune to the “stick to what works at the box office” mentality that explains how one superhero universe has taken over Hollywood and pushed all of what we used to call drama and “serious comedy” to the streaming platforms. In some ways, the high traditions of theater and concert music may even be more beholden to their canonical pasts: Their margins, and thus their margins for error, are much slimmer. Their pasts are more dauntingly brilliant in achievement as well. Shakespeare and Chekhov built the modern mind in a way that a modern playwright, not matter how individually brilliant, could never hope to, simply because the form itself no longer holds the necessary resonance and primacy in the culture.

This is why established theater labs and summer repertory programs like Vassar’s storied Powerhouse inherit a complex, dual responsibility: to entertain, challenge and edify us as good theater does, and to serve as Petri dish for the cultivation of new growth in a time when biodiversity has been largely choked out of the biggest stages. This Powerhouse does with aplomb and to an exactingly high standard.

Powerhouse’s six-week summer program, its 35th, showcases the best of

ment play for children ages 0 – 2, with Happy Dan! Meets every Saturday morning through 6/30 from 10:30-11:30am. Info: 845-633-2060; happydanmusic@gmail.com. Old Dutch Church, 272 Wall Street, Kingston. $5 - $15 donation.

Musical version of The Secret Garden opens in Rhinebeck

Josh Lococo (Dickon), Sean Mahoney (Colin) and Janey Langan (Mary Lennox) in The Secret Garden (photo by Ben Covert, taken at the Beatrix Farrand Garden in Hyde Park)

One of the most touching and beloved of all novels for children, Frances Hodgson Burnett’s Edwardian classic The Secret Garden breaks out of its sentimental mold right from the outset by introducing readers to one of the sourest, least ingratiating protagonists in all of literature. Brought up in India by cold, standoffish parents, her every whim indulged by terrified servants, Mary Lennox doesn’t realize that no one can stand her company under she is orphaned at age nine by a cholera epidemic and she is forced to move in with a reclusive uncle in a big creepy manse on the edge of a Yorkshire moor. Only when she encounters her even more spoiled and imperious, allegedly disabled cousin Colin and a poor-but-adventurous and relentlessly upbeat local lad named Dickon does Mary begin to learn not to be insufferable.

Together the three children probe the mysteries of the overgrown walled garden that was locked away upon the death of her uncle’s young wife, and magical things begin to happen. This is a story that has resonated for decades with youngsters and grownups alike. Lucy Simon (Carly’s sister) set it to music, with a book by Marsha Norman, Pulitzer Prizewinner for ‘night, Mother. The original 1991 Broadway production of The Secret Garden won three Tony Awards and four Drama Desk Awards.

Adam Sandler does standup at Bethel Woods on Sunday Adam Sandler has climbed every entertainment industry mountain without ever losing that “just some dude you know” vibe. Almost all performers who got their start at the grind of standup feel driven to return to it from time to time, to reearn their stripes and relate to a live audience. Not many, however, play venues like Bethel Woods when they do.

Sandler’s 2018 100 Percent Fresh Netflix live set was his first return to standup in 20 years. Now he is out on the road with the 100 Percent Fresher tour, which makes a stop at Bethel Woods on Saturday, June 23.

The Roommate opens at Shadowland in Ellenville

Jen Silverman (shown above) is a hot, up-and-coming young American playwright whose Brontëesque period comedy The Moors just finished a run at Catskill’s Bridge Street in Catskill.

Now another of her works is opening at Ellenville’s ever-delightful Shadowland Stages: a 2015 dramedy, The Roommate, which the Los Angeles Times described as “an Odd Couple story [that] shifts towards Breaking Bad.” Sharon, in her mid-50s, is recently divorced and needs a roommate to share her Iowa home. She bites the bullet, embraces adventure and welcomes Robyn, also in her mid-50s, who has left the Bronx and is looking for a place to start anew. As Sharon begins to uncover Robyn’s secrets, they encourage her own deep-seated desire to transform her life completely, even if it requires a turn into dangerous territory.

Nagle Jackson directs this two-hander starring Dana Smith-Croll and Abigail Rose Solomon (and let us now be thankful for the writing of plays that supply meaty roles for middle-aged actresses). The Roommate previews on Friday, June 21 and runs Thursdays through Sundays until July 14. A special 8 p.m. performance on Wednesday, July 3 substitutes for Thursday, July 4, when the theater will be closed. Thursday, Friday and Saturday shows begin at 8 p.m. ($39) and Sundays, plus one Saturday matinée on June 22, at 2 p.m. ($34).

To reserve your tickets, call the box office at (845) 647-5511 or visit https:// shadowlandstages.org/2019-season/theroommate. Shadowland is located at 157 Canal Street in Ellenville.

Neil LaBute & Drew Larimore speak at Denizen Theatre Announcing the event as one that “further reinforces Denizen Theatre’s commitment to bold new works,” New Paltz’s new black-box performance space in the Water Street Market played host, on Tuesday, June 18, to a lightning rod among contemporary playwrights: Neil LaBute, whose latest stagework, Comfort, was read and discussed.

Ever since the 1997 movie version of his 1993 play In the Company of Men became a breakout hit at the Sundance Film Festival, controversy has raged as to whether LaBute (dubbed “LaBrute” by one theater critic) is a misogynist, a misanthrope or merely provocative.

But few dispute his gift for incisive language, however harsh the dialogue or unappealing the characters in his plays and screenplays may be. His Reasons to Be Pretty received a Best Play Tony nomination in 2009.

Getting LaBute to appear in this small upstate venue during its second season of existence was certainly a coup for Denizen.

A less notorious playwright, Drew Larimore, will visit Denizen on Tuesday, June 25 at 8 p.m. with a reading of a dark comedy that may scandalize some viewers just as much: The Cannibals of McGower County. A 2016 O’Neil Award finalist, the play concerns three women involved in a failing barbecue restaurant in Texas who find a novel way to avenge themselves on a man with a history of domestic abuse when he shows up at their party and goes on a rampage.

Tickets for that reading cost $15 general admission, $5 for students. It will include an author talkback following the performance. To grab your spot, call the box office at (845) 303-4136 or visit https://bit.ly/2WFR9Vq. For more info on this and other upcoming events at Denizen, visit www.denizentheatre.com.

Opus 40

STAGE

OPUS 40 HOSTS CIRKUS LUNA ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON & MAKBET ON SUNDAY NIGHT

A

s a venue, Opus 40 is the Red Rocks of Ulster County. The environment dignifies the music, whatever music it might be (even mine). Good thing that, under the stewardship of the writer, artist and self-taught musicologist Tad Richards, music at Opus 40 has been brilliantly curated for decades. No surprise here: This ridiculously otherworldly sculpture park is one of the few local venues that has always been able to leverage the region’s rich national talent pool, even back when no others could.

And it is more than music out on the rocks. On the weekend of June 22 and 23, Opus 40 hosts Cirkus Luna and Makbet with the Dzieci Theatre. On Saturday, the Cirkus Luna Performance and Workshop is an Absurdist romp from the greatest (and only) East Molvanian circus in the world, featuring acrobats, jugglers, clown (there’s only one) and more. On Sunday, Makbet is the internationally renowned Dzieci Theatre’s visceral take on Shakespeare’s Scottish Play, in which actors spontaneously trade off parts from scene to scene, exploding the art of storytelling and creating a one-of-a-kind experience.

Cirkus Luna at 1 p.m. on Saturday, June 22; Makbet on Sunday, June 23, at 6 p.m., Opus 40, 50 Fite Rd., Saugerties, https:// www.opus40.org

NIGHT SKY

Cosmic questions for the divine dinner table

A

t dinner last week, a guest asked, “Is the universe finite or infinite?” Always one to address the unknowable confidently, I said, “The visible universe is finite. Its weight in tons is a one followed by 50 zeros. The number of subatomic particles in the cosmos is very nearly a one followed by 80 zeros.

This is a finite, not an infinite sum. But the whole observable universe is embedded within a larger unseen universe, and that meta-universe may well be infinite. Recent evidence points that way.”

Then he asked, “Does the cosmos offer any hints about reincarnation?” This was starting to get strange. Usually a summer debauch draws sufficient blood from everyone’s brain, in a vain effort at digestion, that heavy topics seldom arise. “No,” I sighed, “It’s a matter of faith and has nothing to do with science.”

It struck me then, last week, for the thousandth time, that science exists for practical issues like how to build suspension bridges or find how fast Mars rotates. It is not designed for grasping underlying realities. Efforts to do so result in weird, unprovable theories like “superstring.”

It’s important to know the purpose and limitations of any tool. A screwdriver drives screws but cannot rip-cut a board.

Similarly, astrophysics and cosmology explain a myriad of processes but can never resolve how the universe “got here.” Efforts to do so are futile because they’re not the correct tool for the job at hand.

So, if I could be transported to an all-knowing deity and could ask anything I wanted, I would know better than to solicit a spoken reply about anything truly fundamental.

But what would the deepest questions be – the ones that could be verbally answered?

Perhaps we each have our own. You may, for instance, believe the issue of God’s existence is indecipherable. But, like many, I’m satisfied it’s knowable. Anyway, I think my questions would include: Is the Earth an intelligent entity à la the Gaia Hypothesis? Meaning, do we have to worry, or is the planet taking care of everything on its own? Does anything lie outside of

Was there life on Mars prior to life on Earth? Was some of it thrown here by asteroid collisions and are we therefore Martians?

consciousness? Where are the nearest extraterrestrials? Which of our values and interests do they share? Is Schrödinger’s Cat both alive and dead until someone opens the box and has a look? Since EPR (Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen) correlations occur simultaneously across the cosmos, is the entire universe instantaneously connected and self-aware of all its parts?

Have humans been “designed” for some ultimate purpose? Do we possess our strange and perilous combination of large brains and aggressive tendencies in order to build nuclear bombs and eventually release radiation for the purpose of speeded-up mutations?

A salutary, accelerated evolution for all plants and animals? Is that the main idea for Homo bewilderus?

Then I’d probably get geeky. What is material like in the center of a neutron star? Do singularities exist? Are there aliens who exploit them for travel through space or time?

Does the universe oscillate? Was some form of collapsing baryonic matter present before the Big Bang? Were there many Big Bangs? Does time even exist?

What is the true nature of dark matter? Dark energy? Does the latter change over time? Was there life on Mars prior to life on Earth? Was some of it thrown here by asteroid collisions and are we therefore Martians? Is right-handed DNA the standard for life everywhere? When will the next supernova explode within 100 light-years of us?

When will we see the next Great Comet? Will Trump get put in prison before he dies?

Situations Wanted

LOST ART: Looking for Important Artwork that fell off Car Roof. A simulated Stained Glass Mandala of my beloved Golden Retriever dislodged from my car roof driving from the Catskill Interpretive Center to White Pines, Byrdcliffe & back towards Mt. Tremper. The route involved Route 28 to Winnie Rd. to Wittenburg Rd., Streibel Rd., Glasco Tpke. and Upper Byrdcliffe Rd. Returning to Mt. Tremper, it may have fallen in Bearsville, on the right side of Wittenburg between Cooper Lake and Glenford-Wittenburg Rds. This work of art was very precious, painted of a deceased dog who was my partner in work and life for 15 yrs. She was a therapy dog, helping well, sick & disabled people, and the spirit guardian after death of an outdoor contemplative environment, moving to a new setting. If you found the piece, which is a 4‘ lexan circle; very colorful w/portrait of her head in the middle, please contact Tobi at the Woodstock Times; 845-334-8200, ext. 117, or call 518-965-1127.

Lost & Found

LOST ART: Looking for Important Artwork that fell off Car Roof. A simulated Stained Glass Mandala of my beloved Golden Retriever dislodged from my car roof driving from the Catskill Interpretive Center to White Pines, Byrdcliffe & back towards Mt. Tremper. The route involved Route 28 to Winnie Rd. to Wittenburg Rd., Streibel Rd., Glasco Tpke. and Upper Byrdcliffe Rd. Returning to Mt. Tremper, it may have fallen in Bearsville, on the right side of Wittenburg between Cooper Lake and Glenford-Wittenburg Rds. This work of art was very precious, painted of a deceased dog who was my partner in work and life for 15 yrs. She was a therapy dog, helping well, sick & disabled people, and the spirit guardian after death of an outdoor contemplative environment, moving to a new setting. If you found the piece, which is a 4’ lexan circle; very colorful w/portrait of her head in the middle, please contact Tobi at the Woodstock Times; 845334-8200, ext. 117, or call 518-965-1127.

Animals

If you’re looking for someone who’ll always be happy to see you & give you unconditional love forever, look no further! That someone could be waiting for you at Saugerties Animal Shelter. QUEENIE; older cat girl. She’s a

sweet exotic tiger. QUEENIE would like to be an only pet. BABY; 4-year old tiger striped cat boy. SULLY; female tuxedo w/a heart on her nose! This sweet mama cat had six tuxedo babies and now Sully and her kittens are ready to be adopted into loving homes. 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 & 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 down- she’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 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. Loves to cuddle. No other pets, please. 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. We have the Sweetest Kittens you can hope to find! The youngest are just 10 weeks and we have other ages, too. Many are tiger striped and some are tuxedos; they are always ready for a formal event!! PENELOPE; sweet 8-month old Terrier mix. She weighs 15 pounds. LACY; 7-year old female Pit mix.

Very sweet & low energy. She’s a doll! SABRINA; 4-year old Pit mix girl. She’s very sweet & affectionate. Please- no cats. Dogsmales only & need a “meet & greet”. Please visit The Town of Saugerties Animal Shelter, 1765 Route 212 (behind the transfer station) to meet these beautiful beings or call 845679-0339 to answer any questions you may have. Adopt an animal. They will thank you every day.

Why newspapers?

Print is dead, right? Wrong. Studies show readers retain more of what they read in print because it’s easier to focus. Fewer distractions. The web is great for breaking news bytes, but our in-depth stories are best consumed in print. We only write about Saugerties, so every issue is bound to contain something you didn’t know about your community. You lose that sense of discovery on the web, where you’re less likely to happen on something you weren’t looking for. And while our website is too primitive for such things, many sites collect browsing data for advertising. Our ads would never be so presumptious. We print on recycled paper when possible, so it’s sustainable—and accessible to those without the Internet or iPads. ULSTER PUBLISHING
