The Farewell is strongly autobiographical, evolving out of a memoir that Wang ďŹ rst iterated as a segment on the NPR radio program This American Life. The Farewell is a lightly ďŹ ctionalized version of that story, starring the rapper/actress AwkwaďŹ na (Ocean’s 8, Crazy Rich Asians) as Billi, Wang’s alter ego.

Bye-bye Nai Nai Chinese-American relearns to appreciate her roots in sublime A Farewell

T

he phenomenal success of Shþgun, James Clavell’s bestselling 1975 novel and 1980 TV miniseries about an English pilot drawn into a power struggle in Japan at the dawn of the 17th century, served to establish a number of beliefs in the American popular consciousness about Asian cultural norms. One of these was the premise that, in a densely populated country where houses have walls made of paper that afford no privacy, pretending that something negative or forbidden isn’t happening is a socially acceptable and often wise way to proceed. The Western ideal that the truth must always come out was depicted as an alien and naïve notion in the Far East.

Never having had an opportunity to visit ,

Asia, I didn’t acquire a clear sense in all the subsequent decades of how accurate this picture was, or how well Clavell did his research. I still don’t know if he was right about Japan in the year 1600. But there’s a terrific new indie film out by Lulu Wang, The Farewell, whose central premise firmly reiterates this idea as a core component of Chinese social structure.

Maybe it really is an “Asian thing.�

T h e Fa r e w e l l is strongly autobiographical, evolving out of a memoir that Wang first iterated as a segment on the NPR radio program This American Life. The director was born in China and emigrated to the US at age 6.

In 2013, her beloved grandmother, still living in the northeastern Chinese city of Changchun, was diagnosed with Stage IV lung cancer and expected not to survive more than a few months. A wedding of a family member was hastily arranged

to provide an excuse for a big reunion of relatives who had moved to other countries – without telling their Nai Nai (Mandarin for paternal grandmother) that she was dying.

The Americanized Wang was astonished by the elaborate charade that was arranged to spare the elderly woman this unpleasant news. Only by revisiting the city of her birth was she able to make any sense of it. The Farewell is a lightly fictionalized version of that story, starring the rapper/actress Awkwafina (Ocean’s 8, Crazy Rich Asians) as Billi, Wang’s alter ego. Upon breaking the news to Billi, her mother Jian (Diana Lin) explains, “Chinese people have saying: When people get cancer, they die. It’s not the cancer that kills them. It’s the fear.�

The role of Billi was a challenging one to take on for Awkwafina, whose onscreen reputation has been built so far on playing

zany, offbeat characters. Billi, by contrast, is a brooder who never felt quite at home in the US but has absorbed its values.

The Farewell requires her to scowl a lot, disapproving of the deception in which even Nai Nai’s doctors are complicit. How will her grandmother know that it’s time to say her farewells, to set her affairs in order?

As it turns out, Billi is the one who needs to learn to appreciate the wisdom behind the family’s rallying to make Nai Nai’s presumed last months on Earth as happy as possible. Most of this learning curve occurs during one-on-one interactions between grandmother (veteran Chinese actress Zhao Shuzhen) and her favorite granddaughter, which also serve to familiarize Western audiences with some nuances of life in post-Cultural Revolution China. There’s a scene in which Nai Nai is chivvying the surly Billi to engage with more enthusiasm in a daily exercise routine, which reminded me of a sequence involving tai chi practice in another indie

EVENT

Sidra Fest at Twin Star Orchards in New Paltz on Sunday

T

he current Renaissance of hard cider production on Hudson Valley farms has focused, historically speaking, on the fact that this was the only alcoholic beverage available most of the year to European settlers of our valley. But it’s a drink with deep roots in the Old World as well. In the mountainous Asturias region of Spain, where more than 200 varieties of apples are grown, traditional sidra is a staple of Basque culture. Cider bars called chigres are to be found everywhere, and cider-tapping festivals take place at certain times of the year, with drinks poured straight from the barrel.

Tart, earthy and dry, sidra is meant to be drunk up quickly, before it settles and loses its sparkle. The “pour” is very important.

Patrons at a chigre start out with just a small portion in the bottom of their glasses; waiters roam about refreshing their drinks by “throwing the sidra,” or pouring it from a height of three or more feet to enhance its carbonation.

You can try it out yourself – without the cost of transatlantic airfare – on Sunday, August 11 at Twin Star Orchards in New Paltz. The second annual Seafood Boil and Sidra Fest goes on from noon to 5 p.m. For $27 in advance, $32 at the door, visitors can enjoy a platter of fresh shrimp, mussels, calamari, clams, crab, potato and corn. Wash your meal down with Brooklyn Cider House’s signature Raw cider, “thrown” in traditional Basque style. Other natural sidras by Blackduck Cidery and Graft Cider will be available, along with craft beer and wine; beverages are sold separately.

Twin Star is a dog-friendly venue, located at 155 North Ohioville Road. To order tickets for the Seafood Boil & Sidra Fest, visit https://bit.ly/31lPMOA. Seafood Boil & Seafood Fest, Sunday, Aug. 11, noon-5 p.m., $32/$27, Twin Star Orchards, 155 N. Ohioville Rd., New Paltz, https://bit.ly/31lPMOA

movie shot in China, in 1986: Peter Wang’s A Great Wall. The humor here is similarly wry and gentle.

The subject of how best to cope socially with death and other unpleasant realities in Chinese culture is broached several times in The Farewell’s narrative, obliquely enough that Nai Nai can cheerfully avoid thinking that it applies to her in the foreseeable future. The extended family gathers at the tomb of Billi’s grandfather, covering it with food offerings, burning paper effigies of things he might like in the afterlife and invoking his blessings on the young couple about to be wed. Before leaving the cemetery they cross paths with another clan who have hired professional mourners to weep as loudly as possible, as a way to honor the more recently deceased. And at the wedding reception, which affords any attendee a chance to get up and deliver the equivalent of a best man’s toast at an American wedding, freely flowing alcoholic beverages lubricate outbursts of long-repressed emotion from several characters. It’s all theater of a sort, giving Billi much to think about.

A Farewell was mostly shot in Changchun, with a predominantly Chinese cast, and most of the dialogue is in Mandarin. So much of the story is told in facial expressions and body language that you won’t mind, even if you don’t much like reading subtitles. The acting is wonderful across the board, and Awkwafina and Zhao are extraordinary together. You’ll come out wishing you had a sensible, upbeat Chinese grandmother like that. Best of all, this is a story that

seems utterly plausible even if you don’t know the culture intimately. That makes its emotional depth all the more poignant.

I feel pretty confident in terming this the not-to-be-missed small-budget indie sleeper film for the summer of 2019.

or shine, the Sunset Flix Film series will present what is billed as an “interactive” screening of Dirty Dancing (1987).

That suggests that attendees, who are encouraged to wear circa-1963 themed costumes, will have opportunities to get up and dance themselves on the bluestone patio or the lawn. Food and drink will be served. The event begins at 7 p.m. and the movie at 8. To find out more, visit www.hasbrouckhouseny.com/ eventscalendar/2019/8/10/hh-movenight-dirty-dancing.

Also this Saturday, the family-friendly Movies under the Walkway series at Upper Landing Park in Poughkeepsie continues with a free sunset screening of Captain Marvel (2019). Musical guests the B-Boyz begin playing at 7 p.m., and there will be food trucks on hand for your picnicking pleasure. Park at the Mid-Hudson Children’s Museum or the Metro North station, and bring your own chairs and blankets.

Denizen Theatre in New Paltz will present the US premiere of the play Meek, written by British playwright Penelope Skinner (The Village Bike) and directed by Kelly Kitchens. Meek depicts an oppressive alternative society where private lives become political and freedom of expression is not an option. Often compared to The Handmaid’s Tale, Meek was described

by The Guardian as “elegantly mysterious.” “I am a director who loves tackling strong female-centered narratives. When I say strong, I mean nuanced, complex, gritty, sometimes unlikable and often sympathetic,” said director Kitchens.

Meek runs from August 7 through September 1, with shows Wednesday through Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. Pay What You Can Wednesdays are August 7 and 14. Tickets cost $28 general admission, with discounts for seniors, under 30 and students.

Barbara Bravo’s Brilliant Sunset

Makers’ map this weekend’s Saugerties Artists’ Studio Tour features 37 artists

V

isiting an artist in their studio offers a unique perspective on their work. Unlike the gallery experience, in which one rarely meets the exhibiting artist, an open studio tour is a two-way street, where visitors get to ask questions of the artists and the artists get feedback. Visitors have the opportunity to see works-in-progress as well as completed works, and some of the artists offer a hands-on experience. Tourgoers get a behind-the-scenes peek at where artists work and how they live, and most of the studios will offer works for sale at affordable prices.

The 17th annual Saugerties Artists’ Studio Tour will kick off the night before with an opening reception on Friday, August 9 from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Gallery at Opus 40. Each of the tour artists will

have work on display, and most will be in attendance to mingle and talk about their art. Several hundred attendees usually show up at the reception, which is free and open to everyone. Refreshments are offered, and the regular admission fee to Opus 40 that evening is waived.

The studio tour experience is offered all weekend on Saturday and Sunday, August 10 and 11 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

There is no fee to pay and the tour is selfguided; one has only to pick up a map from one of many local businesses or print one out online. Chart a course, and then visit as many or as few studios as desired, taking in a range of artist studios or concentrating in depth on just a few.

According to tour coordinator Barbara Bravo, this year’s event features 37 artists and makers skilled in at least 14 creative disciplines. There are painters working

in oils and acrylics, digital and collage artists, printmakers, mixed-media artists, photographers and videographers, and sculptors working with materials that range from polished steel to industrial debris.

A similar variety in materials can be found with the two furnituremakers on the tour: One works with vintage barn wood and the other with fine hardwoods.

The tour features a land artist, two jewelrymakers – one using silver, the other fused glass – and there is a devotee of Old World craftsmanship who makes bows, arrows and quivers using traditional tools and locally harvested materials. And a number of clay and ceramic artists (including Bravo) create work that runs the gamut from figurative to functional to “funky-fun,” as she puts it.

The participating artists on this year’s tour are Isaac Abrams, abstract painting; Tara Bach, abstract painting; Kristin Barton, abstract painting; Barbara Bravo,

Saugerties hosts Caribbean Carnival on Sunday

Photo of Maxwell KoďŹ Donkor and Juma Sultan at last year’s festivities by Jim Peppler

Last year, Martin and Tamika Dunkley threw a party, expecting a few hundred people to show up and enjoy some good food and music.

Thousands arrived. Thus, the annual Caribbean Carnival came to the Village of Saugerties, spreading the soulful vibe of the West Indies into the Hudson Valley.

On Sunday, August 11, the Dunkleys invite the greater community to come experience an authentic Caribbean Carnival and get a sense of what island culture is all about. The Cantine Veterans’ Memorial Complex will once again vibrate to the beat of the islands, the flash of raucous colors in clothing and dÊcor and – best of all – the aromas and tastes being offered by more than 60 food vendors.

Live music, a deejay and dance performances throughout the afternoon guarantee that attendees will feel it in their bodies and souls. With games and festive activities for all ages – arts and craft booths, face-painting, a costume contest with a grand prize of $250 – the whole family is welcomed to “get together and feel all right� in authentic Caribbean style. And take note: The fun starts with a parade slated to move from the Frank D. Greco Community Center, head through town on Washington Avenue and end up at the Complex. Parade lineup will begin at 10 a.m., with step-off at 11. (Participants

people to get up and dance and move and participate. Endorphins create more endorphins. I’ve been in health care my entire life. They say the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach; well, when I met Martin, he brought me food! I thought, ‘This is confirmation, this was all I needed.’ I thought, ‘We’re gonna have to figure this business thing out and make it a legitimate, viable situation.’�

Martin talks about being the prototypical American who had the ambition and the dream, but didn’t know how to go about it. “Typically that’s where a dream dies: when it sparks, but then you’re trying to figure out how to get it done. We were blessed to have Nigel come along. And, like the Carnival, we want to be a beacon for others also. There are so many others out there like us.� “Obstacles are to be expected, and you have to navigate above those obstacles,� says Tamika, who is the official head of the company. “That’s really what separates out people and their success and their capability of creating for themselves. We just put in for another company to start incubating businesses, to provide guidance for whatever business someone sets their mind to. It will be their work, but we’re gonna help with [issue such as]: ‘You need to fill out this paperwork, this is who you go to, these are good resources in the community.’ We want to really encourage entrepreneurs and try to save them a few hiccups along the way. We’ve been through it.� “That’s where networking comes in,� says Martin. “We started from Ground Zero, and then we met Nigel. By trade, he’s an engineer, not a food person. What I’ve always admired about him is that there was never any blockage to getting started.

Basically, the foundation that he gave us carried us through: just understanding that an obstacle is part of the process.

What we can provide is our experience and the networking web we’ve created and continue to create. That’s the value you have to offer: just to point someone in a direction. Because [in a startup] if you don’t know somebody like Nigel, that window of opportunity closes or that door’s never opened.�

When asked how they measure success and plan for the future of their endeavors, Martin says, “Regarding the Carnival, we haven’t set a metric for measuring success.

You can’t really measure it until you’re there. This type of project is so young, there’s not a body of work that you can measure it against. It was mind-blowing that so many people came last year. This year, my measure of success is the energy of the people that are there: the joy on kids’ faces, my daughter running around playing with kids she didn’t know, the kids all dancing. That’s how I measure success:

the reaction of the community afterwards.

Off of one year, already I feel successful, because the community is looking forward to something we’ve created. “In West Indian background, boys are taught by their mothers how to cook and to be domesticated. The mentality is: You ain’t gonna just expect your wife to cook.

You’d better know how to cook and clean.

The fact that I’m able to honor my mother in that she instilled this in me, and now this [business] is a byproduct of that – our first company honors her in the Mamma Blossom line of recipes. We want to be successful enough in our business to give back. Somebody who’s ambitious, we can help and guide them, and that’s another measure of success.� “We cold-pack in a facility in Naples, New York, in the wine country,� says Tamika.

We found a wonderful company, Arbor Hill, and we’ve been growing together, increasing their capacity. They work to scale, so you can come with 50 cases or 500 cases. We try to source ingredients as locally as possible. Obviously, you can’t buy papayas and mangos from New York. But we try to get as much as possible from local farms. “When we developed the company, I was working in the cardiac critical care unit, seeing the same faces back in the hospital fighting for their lives for weeks on end. We have geared our recipes to treat healing from within: the food-ismedicine premise. If you look at the ingredients list, you’ll see that sodium is so minute, but we’ve got so much to create an amazing flavor base. We use agave in our products instead of sugar. We have salt-free seasonings. We’re preservativefree. All the herbs we use have benefits.

In all of these layers, we try to make sure that all ingredients in every product we have, it’s healthy.�

And so is going out to dance and play with friends and neighbors in the community. For more information about the Carnival, e-mail infor@ seasondelicious.com and check Seasoned Delicious on Facebook.

must register online.) “I am West Indian-American myself, born in the Bronx,� says Martin. He describes how, in the City, you always have such a mix of ethnicities, with whole neighborhoods, entire boroughs celebrating their particular cultures. “I felt like this was an opportunity for our community to enjoy something here. After starting our business, Seasoned Delicious Foods, we’ve always wanted to give back to the very community that supported us.

In Jamaica, you had your Sunday dinner with music, and everybody’d come over.

We’d gather, decompress and start the week. I’ve learned that the best way to bring people together is with food and music. I thought it was time for us to give back to the community and bring everyone together.� “Last year we were expecting 300 to 400 people,� says Tamika. “Ten times that came! We had only 60 days from the time we got the approval to when we put on the event. It was a wonderful turnout. What was beautiful was the sea of faces – black, brown, white, yellow; it was not one color, and was really an incredible experience.�

Seasoned Delicious Foods produces spices and seasonings, hot sauces, relishes, preserves and spreads, oils and vinegars.

Two auxiliary lines of products, Afya Power Foods and Above Earth Foods, round out the culinary choices, all of which offer finely tuned flavors for the discerning cook.

The Dunkleys consider their unique sauces and preserves “the natural byproduct of a life lived with a Caribbean flair.�

Martin has always been in sales, he says. “In the Bronx, my dad had an antique store, and I helped there while I was going to school. I came up here 20 years ago, went into the car business and then managed a store in Albany. When I was working there, I was selling food on my own: peppers, flavored hot sauces. Then we got married, had a baby and bought a house. Tamika was the missing link for me to making it all come together. “We decided to continue with the catering. I met Nigel Redman, who had a mentorship program, which I did for about two years. He said we needed to figure out a way to bottle this stuff and turn it into a business. We did our research and looked into the infrastructure and how to get it all done. In our first line we had almost 25 products. My wife and I hit the road and, within a week’s span, she got us in 12 stores.�

Tamika is a nurse who says she doesn’t have one sales bone in her body. “This is a huge learning curve for me. What I bring to the table is the health aspect of things.

So our product line is unique, wherein we use Himalayan salt instead of iodized salt, for example, because it has all the minerals.

And coconut oils. There’s nothing from a can or a jar. No GMOs. It’s a holistic approach to business and to our products.

There’s a health dynamic to our company itself. “That also ties into what we’re doing in the community as well, because we want

year, bringing the skills she had developed over the years in her ceramics business, and has been the organizer since. In 2017, she received an Ulster County Executive’s Arts Award in the category of Volunteer in Support of the Arts from then-executive Mike Hein. Bravo would be too modest to say so to this reporter, but, having previewed this event for a number of years now (although not nearly as many as she’s been doing this), it’s apparent that her efforts in producing this tour every year have been crucial to its success. “Visiting the studios and talking with the artists is only part of the experience,� she says. “I’ve been asking myself lately, ‘What is the importance of art? How does it impact our lives?’ And I found a humble answer in a quote from Pablo Picasso. He said, ‘Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.’� – Sharyn Flanagan

From left to right: Kyle Poole, Dominick Farinacci, Piers Playfair, Shenel Johns and Patrick Bartley, Jr. on stage in Hudson last June. These artists will return to Hudson Hall on Saturday, August 24 at 7 p.m. and perform with Russell Hall, Michela Marino Lerman, Mathis Picard, Christian Tamburr, Orlando Watson and Keyon Harrold in a program titled The Spirit of Harlem, part of a residency and tour that began in Tannersville and will conclude with a world-premiere performance in Florence, Italy.

on rhythms of African, Caribbean and Latin descent. Jazz is a wild, inherently transgressive and liberated music that has been a disciplined, codified and academy-minted art as well for over half a century. It was mainstream pop during the swing era (and briefly again during the fusion ’70s) and is just as often regarded as the ultimate hipster cognoscenti hoax, bebop and beyond: something that you need a pedantic boyfriend to mansplain to you in stale beatnik tropes. Like this one.

So why not one more paradox for good measure in the form of the Catskill Jazz Factory (CJF)? While New Orleans may be the Delta of jazz, and Chicago, Kansas City and Los Angeles home to significant scenes and subgenres, and while Paris and Tokyo still can’t get enough of the stuff, modern jazz is at its heart a New York thing. Most of it, in fact, can be traced to a single stoop in Harlem. What an ironic gas, then, that one of the most active, connected and conceptually ambitious jazz promotion/advocacy/development organizations this side of Lincoln Center is a New York thing in fact: located in the heart of the thinly populated rural Catskills, alongside the biker gangs and ski bums on Route 23.

Catskill Jazz Factory, as you will learn

below, can be accurately described as an organization with global ambition.

But the grassroots, pastoral work of manufacturing jazz talent and an audience for it (for it is a “factory”) takes place at venues of all kinds right here in the Catskills and mid-Hudson: a sustainable jazz pilot study in an unlikely location. From our high theaters, colleges and clubs to any old ad hoc nook that will have it, there is nary a community center, library or church that they haven’t pressed into service as a temporary Blue Note at one time or another.

Us i n g f r e e market logic, one might ask why a music form, any music form, requires advocacy and the intercession of agencies and leagues. If you are wondering that, I invite you to leave this essay at once and go live in a future adorned only by music that the

market supports naturally.

Except at its highest “national treasure” curatorial levels, jazz has always been consigned to, erm, “intimate” venues.

The most startling thing about jazz’s greatest live recordings – like, say, Bill Evans’ Sunday at the Village Vanguard – is the parts where the music stops and no more than 18 or 20 hands get to clapping, as silverware and glasses chink and rattle. John Cage might even have called it part of the tune.

As America’s f o r e m o s t contribution to 20 th -century intellectual life, jazz has long depended on the efforts of dedicated support organizations, from radical collectives like our own Creative Music Studio in Woodstock and Chicago’s hugely influential Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians to

Providing artist residencies and project support to a variety of young, top-quality jazz artists to incubate world-premiere programs.

Introducing artists into villages, educational institutions and a host of venues to promote community-building through jazz.

Serving as a launch point for our artists to develop brand-new, innovative projects to then present to larger and diverse audiences outside of the Hudson Valley/ New York City area.

Administrator/production director Chandra Knotts, who steered me through my CJF learning process with extreme clarity, hastened to add that CJF also presents a year-round educational outreach program that extends across the

Mirabai of Woodstock

Hudson Valley, with annual in-classroom work at the Hunter/Tannersville and Millbrook School Districts, to name a few.

These visits give students the invaluable opportunity to have face time and performance opportunities with young professional musicians.

It’s a lot to take in. I jumped at the chance to interview Catskill Jazz Factory founder and artistic director Piers Playfair, who runs the daily operation along with his wife Lucy Playfair and Knotts.

How do you stay so on top of the feeders of talent in jazz? What’s your secret? What’s your connection? And what kind of “value proposition” do you think Catskill Jazz Factory offers the artists?

Back in 2012, I got to talking with my old neighbor from the City, the jazz historian and critic Stanley Crouch, who put me in touch with Aaron Diehl, an incredible young pianist who knew who the up-and-coming next generation of players were. Together with my wife Lucy Playfair, we created a small team initially to support a lot of the performing arts initiatives that were happening in Tannersville, mainly through the auspices of the Catskill Mountain Foundation.

Since then, we’ve taken this incredible journey from presenting in Mountain Top coffee shops, churches, libraries to sold-out series at the Fisher Center and other venues in the Hudson Valley, then

You’ve worked a lot with a personal favorite of mine, the pianist Dan Tepfer: a guy known for bridging whatever gap still

exists between jazz and so-called “serious” music. With the Goldberg Variations Variations, he beat Brad Mehldau to the idea of an improvisational dialogue with Bach by a few solid years. I have contended many times in print that jazz is now “serious music” – in the sense of not having the popular audience it once enjoyed, in the sense of having advanced to such a state of sophistication that many feel it has evolved itself clean out of a broad appeal and in the sense that it is fostered and kept alive in academic and grantdriven settings more than ever. Over the years you have programmed plenty of demanding, experimental music as well as more accessible, user-friendly jazz where “the tune” still rules. How aware are you of honoring both parts of jazz’s legacy: the traditional and the revolutionary?

Ultimately, we want to support great artists and their projects. We take a very broad view of what jazz is because, increasingly, we – like many of the musicians we work with – do not like being defined by a single genre. We aim to incorporate new music and experimentation in our program and, just in the past year or so, we’ve done a great deal of work on projects ranging from Keyon Harrold [NAS, Common]’s Jazz & the Birth of Hip Hop, Life & Loves with Dominick Farinacci and Etienne Charles’ Vibes of Venezuela. These three projects alone cross Venezuelan folk music, the

to premieres with the New York Botanical Gardens and Kings Theatre in New York City, and now more recently bringing these events to major festivals in Europe.

As far as our “secret,” it is not so secret.

We are very fortunate as curators that so many of the world’s greatest players are right there, performing very regularly in New York City. On any given night you can catch fantastic talent, and it is not difficult to identify the truly great artists.

Our principal vision as a non-profit is to support these young artists and to help them survive in this difficult environment.

This generation is facing the unique challenge of how the Internet is impacting our access and consumption of music, so it is a time when our type of support is particularly needed.

With this in mind, we try to back brilliant musicians with a unique artistic vision, or work in partnership with them to develop special projects. We take the time to individually meet and rap with each artist that we collaborate with – to understand their goals, their visions, their unique voice – and then find a mutual path forward. The “value” has come from this practice. Our artists know that when they work with CJF, they have the opportunity for complete musical and artistic freedom, and to develop something special.

government grants, Jazz Studies and Commercial Music university programs and the work of Wynton Marsalis (and the hand of his mentor Stanley Crouch) at Lincoln Center, jazz’s semi-official canonical seat. What distinguishes Catskill Jazz Factory from so many likeminded jazz advocates is the sheer brio and commitment of its approach, and its conceptual design. Not only does it book transcendent talent (mostly but not exclusively young), it also builds extended, creative relationships with these performers and composers and abides their careers. It honors both sides of jazz’s legacy: the traditional and the revolutionary, seeing no apparent contradiction, and increasingly dropping the J-word entirely from its discourse.

Catskill Jazz Factory partners with powerful institutions and venues like Bard’s Fisher Center, Hudson Hall (the old Hudson Opera House and a current hotbed of experimental art) and the region’s premier jazz night club, the Falcon, among others, while still seeding the community at the level of library and church sanctuary, where an intimate encounter with a young genius of jazz can be a life-changing experience.

The Catskill Jazz Factory mission is so 360-degree and coherent, it is almost hard to describe what the organization does.

roots of hip hop, Kurt Weill, Richard Strauss and the American Songbook! A lot of our programming is purposefully “cross-genre” in this way, as we are always encouraging our artists to explore their passions and limits, which leads to incorporating elements of everything from gospel and classical music, opera, hip hop, work songs. There is no limit to the creative possibilities when you think this way.

We encourage these explorations and are always trying to reach a broader audience for our music. We absolutely consider part of our mission to develop a regional jazz (and musical) audience, because that is just one way to support the artists: to help them find ways of reaching communities outside of the traditional concert halls and clubs et cetera.

We are also committed to artists trying to break new boundaries. One of our most important residencies in this respect was Dan Tepfer’s Acoustic Informatics, which we world-premiered at Bard’s Fisher Center back in 2015. On top of being a brilliant pianist, Dan is an astrophysicist, and this project (now called Natural Machines) is an extension of his unique musical and scientific approach, using the Yamaha Disklavier, virtual reality video technology and beyond to bring music and computer-driven algorithms together to create a unique artistic experience.

Audiences can see Natural Machines for themselves with CJF this December at Hudson Hall.

Your summer programs seem be thematically driven in many ways – this year’s focus on song and the songbook, for example (perfectly situated in Bard’s Spiegeltent). Do you see yourself as a curator of the tradition in any way?

Wynton’s work at Lincoln Center has been on-and-off controversial. How do you feel about efforts to define jazz and its canon?

Is that at all part of your sense of mission?

As a young organization in this industry, we are enormously indebted to Jazz at Lincoln Center. They are an educational institution, a mentoring institution, a showcasing institution and so much more. Jazz at Lincoln Center plays an immeasurably important role in the lives

Through 12 themed concerts, pre-concert lectures, panel discussions and expert commentary, the 30th Bard Music Festival examines the life and times of Erich Wolfgang Korngold (1897-1957).

MUSIC

Bard Music Festival’s “Korngold and His World” opens this weekend

S

ummer is such a hopping time at Bard that it can be hard to tell which parts, exactly, constitute the Bard Music Festival and which parts are just…you know, summer at Bard, also known as SummerScape. The Bard Music Festival is the condensed payoff of the SummerScape programming: an exhaustive investigation of the work and significance of a single composer. Bard tends to select composers based not only on individual genius, but also on a rich, synergistic context of cultural and historical factors, giving intellectuals across the disciplines a lot to chew on.

This year’s subject is the famous film composer Erich Korngold, an Austrian-born groomed to take his place in the great Viennese tradition of Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert and Brahms. Several factors – being Jewish at the worst time, for example, and being groomed for a profession that did not really exist anymore – sent Korngold’s destiny skittering on a different path: one that led to Hollywood, where Korngold and his peers are credited with defining the sound of American cinema.

And now we are in the thick of it. Through 12 themed concerts, pre-concert lectures, panel discussions and expert commentary, the 30th Bard Music Festival examines the life and times of Erich Wolfgang Korngold (1897-1957). “Korngold and His World” programs take place over the next two weekends. Program One on opening night, August 9, is “Erich Wolfgang Korngold: From Viennese Prodigy to Hollywood Master,” an all-Korngold chamber and orchestral program featuring maestro Leon Botstein, mezzo-soprano Stephanie Blythe and pianist Piers Lane.

There will be two programs each on Saturday and Sunday. Program Two, “Teachers, Admirers and Influences,” pairs Korngold’s early work with chamber and vocal music by prominent composers in the Vienna of his youth. Program Three is titled “The Orchestral Imagination,” presenting four relative rarities including Korngold’s Piano Concerto for the Left Hand, a stirring and melodically inventive tour de force performed by Orion Weiss.

Weekend one closes with two Sunday programs: Program Four: “Popular Music from the Cabarets, Taverns and Salons of Korngold’s Vienna,” and Program Five: “Before the Reich: Korngold and Fellow Conservatives,” featuring chamber music written by the composer and some of his less revolutionary contemporaries.

That’s just Weekend One. Visit the Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts website for tickets, prices, venues and the full schedule of events.

of our artists and in the global jazz scene in general, and without the development of so many of the artists with whom they are closely associated, we could not be who we are.

With that said, we tend to see our mission as less jazz-based and more musician-based. We are looking to really back great things, and try not to impose our own tastes on musicians with whom we work. Having said that, art by its very nature is always going to invite controversy because people hold such strong beliefs; but wherever we can, we try to be supportive to other artists and arts organizations. This is a time when there is such a need for collaboration.

So, to answer your question, I would not say we are thematically driven as much as driven by the mission of artistic and community support. It infiltrates all of our decisions as producers and presenters.

In slight contrast, our hometown program, 23Arts Initiative, is always defined by our Tannersville community.

23Arts provides us with ultimate programming flexibility. This is where we get to test-run new projects, incubate future premieres and work with other non-profits like Mountain Top Arboretum,

Three shows this weekend at Opus 40

W

hen the legendary Texas psychedelic rocker Roky Erickson died on May 31, American music lost one of its great Outsider artists. With the 13th Floor Elevators, Erickson was the unmistakable voice of one the most bracingly savage, musical and weird of all the psychedelic rock groups of the ’60s. He had one more miracle in store, coming back from years of debilitating mental illness to reclaim his mantle and reap some of the adulation that had only grown in his years away.

On May 31, the Huichica East festival lost something else: its headliner.

Roky Erickson’s death precipitated Huichica’s move from the Dutchess County farm that has been its New York home to the big back room at BSP in Kingston.

It also led the organizers to shorten it to a one-day festival, one held in Erickson’s honor and memory.

The headliners that remain share certain enigmatic traits with Roky Erickson.

David Berman’s career benefited immensely from his association with Pavement’s Stephen Malkmus, who had a hand in Berman’s early output with the Silver Jews. But while Malkmus might have provided some scaffolding, Berman has earned his underground superstar reputation with release after release of brilliant rock poetry. His finest work is all post-Malkmus. Berman’s new project, Purple Mountains, will make its debut at this year’s Huichica East.

Speaking of enigmas, Huichica East’s second big-name act is Destroyer, the nom de indie of Dan Bejar, minority writer in the New Pornographers and prolific solo artist under the Destroyer alias. Destroyer’s most recent release, 2017’s Ken, is a lush, densely poetic hybrid electro affair. As usual, his lyrics reward close attention, which is why the fact that his Huichica set is solo is possibly more feature than bug.

The rich micro-festival bill is rounded out by Helado Negro, the ambient pop project of Roberto Carlos Lange, the tireless festival regulars Mail the Horse, Kingston’s Shana Falana, Howlin Rain and more. Tickets cost a flat $45 for the people.

t will be a busy weekend out on the rocks at Opus 40. The three-show run kicks off with a freebie as Radio Woodstock teams up with Opus 40 for Sunset Sessions, a series of free summer concerts set in the unparalleled beauty of Harvey Fite’s sculpture park in Saugerties. On Friday, August 9, the stylish noir- and jazz-inflected New York City dual-couples band Scruffy Pearls takes to the rocks at 5 p.m. On the following Saturday, the heavyweight duo of Cuban percussionist and composer Roberto Juan Rodríguez and Argentinian clarinetist Iván Barenboim bring their heady mix of Cuban klezmer and jazz. Tickets cost $25 and $30, and the show begins at 6 p.m. Finally, on Sunday, August 11, Opus 40 hosts a benefit for the Saugerties Animal Shelter from 3 to 7 p.m. The event features live music, food trucks, 50/50 drawings and beer.

We see our role as facilitators of highly talented people, partners with artists that need support and partners of venues that need differentiated content. We don’t want to impose our artistic vision on artists or venues. In a way, we are similar to how old independent record labels would function: Sometimes a project is all the artist, and sometimes it is more of a partnership with ourselves and a venue.

who was actually one of the first to work with Catskill Jazz Factory. The band itself is unmatched as far as young talent goes, featuring established artists like Dominick Farinacci and Christian Tambor alongside some of the most exciting young names on the New York City jazz scene, like Michela Marino Lerman, Russell Hall, Mathis Picard and Shenel Johns, to name a few.

On its face, the project might appear as a straight-up jazz gig, but there are much greater artistic and political explorations taking place. The project takes a musical tour through Harlem’s most iconic jazz spots and moments while exploring the African American struggle, civil rights, the history of Harlem and the evolution of jazz as an elevated artform. It is a truly unique American story.

You could view The Spirit of Harlem tour as a great example of how CJF works.

We take a project from conception to premiere and provide support all along the way, ranging from a small-town Mountain Top residency and rehearsal week to increasingly larger audiences and stages across the region to an official and elaborated world premiere overseas.

Harlem Quartet plays Maverick on Sunday

T

he Maverick season is, among other things, a virtual parade of internationally recognized string quartets, proceeding in groups of four, each with its own specialties, repertoire biases and agendas. In its concert and reception for members on Sunday, August 11, the storied seasonal chamber music series welcomes the Harlem Quartet. The Harlem was formed in 2006 entirely by first-place laureates of the Sphinx Competition for Black and Latino string players. Today, the Harlem comprises first violinist Ilmar Gavilån, second violinist Melissa White, violist Jaime Amador and cellist Felix Umansky. Across more than a decade of existence, the Harlem Quartet has drawn a wide and inclusive circle of repertoire, with a special interest in adaptations of jazz, including works by Chick Corea, Duke Ellington and more of jazz’s great composers.

On August 11, the Harlem’s glorious diversity will be in full bloom. Anchoring the program are two staples of the classical repertoire: Op. 33 no. 2, the “Joke�

Quartet by Haydn, inventor of the string quartet form; and Johannes Brahms’ Third Quartet, Op. 67, in which the great Romantic composer elevates the role of the lowly yeoman viola to principal melodic voice: an engagement with the viola that would blossom across the rest of his career.

The Harlem’s other two selections challenge the canon a bit. The living American composer William Bolcom began, as a serious composer in the mid-20th century practically had to, as a difficult 12-tone serialist. Gradually he moved back toward an inclusive sense of tonality that bridges pop and serious music. His many rags are among his most accessible work. The Harlem will perform Bolcom’s Three Rags for String Quartet. Finally, the Harlem will perform an adaptation of a jazz standard, Dizzy Gillespie’s “A Night in Tunisia.�

Admission is by donation. Donors to Friends of Maverick of $75 since August 24, 2018 receive a ticket for one unreserved seat to both the concert and reception.

Donors of $150 or more receive two tickets. Regular Maverick tickets are not valid for this concert. – John Burdick

These partnerships embolden our programming capabilities because, unlike the challenge of a typical performance

venue, our content is not dictated by space. We can actually follow an artist’s vision and then place it in the appropriate space or venue. Our variety of partnerships also allow us the capability to explore new content. An important part of our mission is to bring jazz and music to where it has never been before, but we respect that different audiences want different things.

Ultimately, we think it is vital for non-

profits to work together. An example of this is our most exciting new collaboration with the New Generation Festival, a really groundbreaking endeavor co-founded by a truly visionary trio of young British producers: Maximilian Fane, Roger Granville and Frankie Parham. The festival is presented each summer at the Palazzo Corsini al Prato in Florence, Italy, but this is just the beginning for what’s to come!

Stateside, we are looking forward to a new partnership with Storm King Art Center and have our first event coming up with them this September.

New partnerships like this allow us to develop ever more artistically ambitious ideas, like world-premiere orchestral commissions and larger ensembles.

We are thrilled to be bringing young American artists to an all-new market for our music. Ultimately, what we love is when our musicians get new venues and our presenters get a new musical experience to share with their audience and community. Everybody wins.

ock music has always prided itself on being rebellious, but throughout its history, there have been varying levels of how conceptually outré, lyrically lewd or politically provocative a group or individual performer was willing to be. In the 1960s, no band defied social taboos with such unrestrained glee as the Fugs. Though intellectually well-grounded in both the Beat movement and the visionary Romantic poetry of William Blake, the Fugs quickly became associated with deliberately scatological songs such as the iconic, tongue-twisting “Boobs a Lot.” They recorded seven albums – the second one the subject of an obscenity investigation by the FBI – but few radio outlets dared play them besides Pacifica stations like WBAI. Considering how many later punk bands cited them as a source of inspiration, one might fairly describe the Fugs as “seminal” in more ways than one.

More importantly from a historical perspective, they were unabashedly confrontational with the Powers that Be, famously providing the musical score for the attempt to levitate and exorcise the Pentagon during the October 1967 March on Washington to protest the Vietnam War, as documented in Norman Mailer’s Pulitzer-winning nonfiction novel The Armies of the Night. The chant of “Out, demons, out!” will ring out once again with new DC foes in mind, with audience participation led by founding Fug and longtime Woodstock resident Ed Sanders, in a performance on August 17 at the Byrdcliffe Barn commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Woodstock festival.

It’s the same venue that has hosted various Fugs reunions since the band reformed in 1985 with “new” members Steve Taylor, Coby Batty and Scott Petito, all three of whom will be joining Sanders onstage this time around. While Fugs co-founder Tuli Kupferberg died in 2010, attendees are assured that he will be there in spirit. “The audience is sure to leave the Byrdcliffe Barn feeling empowered, educated, rocked and maybe a bit sweaty,” promises the official press release.

The Fugs perform at 8 p.m. on Saturday, August 17 at the Byrdcliffe Barn, located at 485 Upper Byrdcliffe Road in Woodstock. Tickets cost $30 general admission, $25 for Byrdcliffe members. To order, call (845) 679-2079 or visit www.woodstockguild.org/fugs.html.

Bad Hat Jazz performs on Saturday at Thomas Bull Park If you haven’t been down to Thomas Bull Memorial Park in Montgomery, a stone’s throw from the Orange County Airport and Middletown, it is quite a sweet spot for hiking, playing, seasonal snowtubing and more. It also hosts the jam-packed Orange County Summer Concert Series, a run of live music shows with food and beer vendors fol-

lowed by the screening of free, familyfriendly movies. This agreeable series continues with a performance by Bad Hat Jazz on Saturday, August 10. The Warwick-based ensemble of crack players favors that fusion sweet spot where jazz, groove and jam meet, citing cerebral fusion ace Mike Stern, the greatest of all fusion bands Weather Report and jam-scene favorites Galactic as influences and reference points.

As the original Falcon in Marlboro once proved beyond argument, barn concerts can be pretty high-end affairs, not just straw-strewn and horsey hootenannies. Hardeman Orchards in Red Hook are themselves old hands at the high-end barn venue game: a point that will be amply proven over the next two weekends.

On Friday, August 9, Hardeman welcomes a venerated eminence of the local music scene, Professor Louie & the Crowmatix. Herr Professor’s take on American roots music is inclusive, witty, highly musical and fun. It bears all the marks of Mr. Hurwitz’s long association with the Band, Western music’s foremost example of a high-end chamber ensemble disguised as a barn band. Accompanied by the Woodstock Horns, the Professor leads the band through a repertoire steeped in rock ‘n’ roll, blues, gospel and roots music.

Tickets cost $20 in advance and $25 at the doors.

Taking a sneak peek a week, on August 18 Hardeman Orchards welcome Todd Shaeffer of the wildly popular acoustic newgrass band Railroad Earth and – for those who will recall – former frontman of New Jersey’s near-miss megastars From Good Homes.

Maverick hosts Indian raga tribute to Ravi Shankar on Saturday

While it was the psychedelic rock era and the agency of the Beatles in particular that brought the music of Ravi Shankar to the attention of the general West, make no mistake about one thing: This is classical music. Under the beguiling drones, the exotic microtonal melodies, the mysterious timbral and conversational qualities of sitars and tablas, this is high Indian classical music in a tradition that is many centuries old. Much of it is lost on most of us, but that is no reason to enjoy it any less.

Maverick implicitly recognizes that the music of Ravi Shankar belongs to the classical tradition in “Indian Raga: A Tribute to the Art of Ravi Shankar” on Saturday, August 10. Iklaq Hussain plays the sitar, joined by Shankar’s longtime table player Samir Chatterjee and Woodstock’s own high master Steve Gorn on bansuri flute. Tickets cost $45 and $30, $5 for students.

Remember Woodstock's 50th Bethel Woods hosts Alice Cooper, Nelly this weekend, Ringo Starr, Santana/Doobies and John Fogerty next weekend

W

e might have to wait for the Fyre-style documentary(ies) to really get the whole story, but at least now the outcome is known: Woodstock 50 is not going to happen this year. From the first fissure of Denstu’s acrimonious withdrawal through the loss of several sites and artists, multiple concurrent legal actions and a variety of optimistic Hail Marys from Michael Lang’s team, Woodstock 50 has been a media circus of a kind that leads one to suspect that maybe the music festival itself is extraneous and the actual capital-generating product is the drama-rich collapse of the plan. In the Fyre age, we frame the present with the future documentary in mind, and total bloody conflagrations are great, sexy stories.

I got a chance to interview Lang not so long ago, just before the first troubles were made public, and when the man says that Woodstock is an idea and you can’t kill an idea, I am apt to believe him. He is a fighter and I don’t think we’ve seen the last of him. Still, if you are now wondering what to do in Woodstock season, Bethel Woods has got a few ideas for you.

As the very date itself approaches, things get more ceremoniously retro, but the fun starts a week before with Alice Cooper and Halestorm on August 8, followed by the triple header of Nelly, TLC and Flo Rida on August 9. Then we’re into 50 territory, and what better way to kick it off with a performance by Ringo Starr (August 16), who sat out the original festival? The next night, a man who made his name at the original concert, Carlos Santana, teams up not with a fellow Woodstock alum but with a fellow Bay Area classic-rock mainstay in the Doobie Brothers. Finally, in a finale that is either cool or creepy, not sure, Woodstock 50 turncoat John Fogerty performs with two very popular younger classic-rock torchbearers in the Tedeschi Trucks Band and Vermont’s Grace Potter.

Meanwhile, keep an eye on Lang.

– John Burdick Alice Cooper/Halestorm, Thursday, Aug. 8, 7 p.m.; Nelly/TLC/Flo Rida, Friday, Aug. 9, 7 p.m.; Ringo Starr, Friday, August 16, 7 p.m.; Santana/Doobie Brothers, Saturday, Aug. 17, 7 p.m.; John Fogerty/Tedeschi Trucks/Grace Potter, Sunday, Aug. 18, 6 p.m., Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, 200 Hurd Rd., Bethel, www.bethelwoodscenter.org

Neil Innes of the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band and the Rutles. Classical music has few such parodists, maybe because the bar to entry is so damn high.

In some cases, the only ones up to it are the great composers themselves, whose intrascore gamesmanship is the stuff of legend. But there is the strange case of Peter Schickele, also known as P. D. Q. Bach, a legitimate composer and serious musical scholar who, over

years and in multiple media, built his hilarious, historic alter ego and a serious body of musical work.

On Saturday, August 10, the Doctorow Center for the Arts in Hunter presents “Laughter in the Mountains” as part of the Manhattan in the Mountains summer lecture and performance series.

Canal Street Band traces the Dead’s inspirations at Unison on Saturday To recontextualize the music of the Grateful Dead as folk and bluegrass is hardly a stretch. That was, after all, where Jerry came from, and he never forsook his banjo and pedal steel chops entirely, even as the Dead did wander off the roots map in the mid-’70s, never to return. The Canal Street Band promises not rootsy reinterpretations of the Grateful Dead, but rather an illumination of the source music that inspired them originally, with fiddle, banjo, Dobro, jaw harp, string bass, mandolin, three voices and more.

Sam Kogon has always been on the move. He grew up as a snowbird, splitting the year between Florida and Clinton Corners until he was in the sixth grade, when his parents settled in Rhinebeck for good. He was “obsessed with classical music” and asked to learn violin at the age of 5. “It wasn’t one of those scenarios where I was forced to play piano,” he laughs.

He practiced so much that he got into a School of the Arts program in Florida – a plan that was disrupted by the final move up to New York. He eventually put the bow down.

Which isn’t to say that Kogon stopped playing music. He picked up guitar at age 8, and can now play at least ten instruments. His proclivities were helped along by Sam’s Surplus Store, an Uptown Kingston pawnshop that his family had owned for 99 years before its 2018 closure, resulting in a collection of unexpected instruments like the autoharp and balalaika.

After his early classical love, Kogon identifies the Beatles and in particular A Hard Day’s Night as foundational for his musical development. His first songs, written around age 10, were direct Beatles rips, emulating Lennon and McCartney vocally, with chords taken from a Beatles music book. Listening to and repeating their songs – sometimes to the chagrin of his guitar teacher – were how he learned

14 to write music. He would listen to oldies radio with his mom in the car, allowing doo-wop and ’60s influences to form his musical sensibilities. “I was able to digest things and spit them out – even if it wasn’t good,” he laughs.

He didn’t keep these instincts to himself.

Kogon was in a number of middle and high school bands, playing covers and originals.

He self-recorded a song under the name Teaching Purple that got play on WDST, and almost got the band a spot at Mountain Jam. Kogon estimates that he has played in something like seven groups of various sizes over the years, including a band he formed at SUNY-Environmental Science and Forestry, the Vanderbilts, as well as taking over vocal duties for a reunited lineup of the ’60s psychedelic group the Left Banke.

After the Vanderbilts broke up, Kogon moved to New York City and took it solo.

“I wanted to go under my own name,” he said, “so no one would have control over my passion.” He has recorded two albums of psych-adjacent power pop, including 2016’s frazzled standout Psychic Tears, with a rotating cast of backing musicians, and is currently at work on a third with Kurt Vile and Sonic Youth producer John Agnello.

His partnership with Agnello came about in a somewhat roundabout way. He was cast as a featured extra in Martin Scorsese’s upcoming crime epic The Irishman as a backing musician for Jerry Vale, played in the film by Steven van Zandt, and shot for a week in Harlem’s Alhambra Ballroom. It was a strange enough experience in its own right, and Kogon even played Words with Friends with Ray Romano. He hit it off with music supervisor Stewart Lerman and, after sending some demos along, received praise and a recommendation for Agnello.

They recorded an EP at Weehawken’s Hobo Sound Studios in the fall, for which Kogon is currently seeking a label, and are currently demoing for an album. On the recommendation of Agnello, he recently tracked in Goethenberg at Svenksa Grammofon, a studio owned by a member of alt/rock big-timers Soundtrack of Our Lives. He describes his new approach as that of an “Upstate country rockabilly crooner,” a sound he had once put off while playing in Brooklyn’s psychedelic scene. “I want to make music that is accessible,” he says.

Kogon has always skewed a little older in his sensibilities, from an early affinity for Chopin and the Beatles to the session work he’s done with Al Jardine and the Zombies.

He feels a little put out by current trends, and unsettled from any particular scene.

This is partially technological – “you can be a huge musician and live in Fargo” – but also personal: “I’m gay, and most of the Brooklyn bands are straight guys,” he says.

“I’m trying to find my own circle.”

HUGUENOT STREET TOURS SPOTLIGHT MUNSEE FOODWAYS, GHOSTS & CIDER ON SATURDAY

T

his Saturday would be a great day to spend in New Paltz, bookended by two special events hosted by Historic Huguenot Street. From 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., ethnoecologist Justin Wexler will be your guide for “Summers of Growth: Fruits, Greens and Sun,” the third in a series of four nature treks collectively titled “Everywhere at Home: How Local Native People Once Lived with the Land.” The Munsee people who were indigenous to the Wallkill Valley led a semi-nomadic existence, tethered in summertime to the fertile floodplains where they raised their staple crops – maize, squash and pole beans, the famous Three Sisters – but ranging far afield when fish spawned in spring, tree nuts were ripe for collecting in autumn or large game became easier to trap and hunt in winter. Wexler’s entertaining and informative walks identify local flora and fauna and explain their material uses in native culture while also explaining the species and the surrounding ecosystems through Munsee language and folklore.

The group will check in at the DuBois Fort Visitor Center at 10:50 a.m. on Saturday, August 10, gather at the adjacent wigwam and proceed through the Nyquist-Harcourt Wildlife Sanctuary, whose entrance is also on Huguenot Street. Tickets for “Summers of Growth” cost $20 general admission. Saturday, August 17 is the rain date.

A return to the Visitor Center in the evening is warranted by an expanded offering of one of the historic site’s most popular annual activities: Haunted Huguenot Street, which is normally only conducted during the weeks immediately preceding Halloween. But the wild and wooly tales of past residents who lived in the street’s stone houses and experienced terrible tragedies, encountered apparitions and held paranormal investigations are just too much fun not to be told at other times of year.

This new event, titled “Cider & Spirits: A Haunted Walking Tour of Historic Huguenot Street,” pairs the ghost stories and unsolved mysteries with a sample of delicious locally made hard cider – the year-round alcoholic beverage of choice for the region’s European settlers – provided by the Kettleborough Cider House in Gardiner. The tour runs from 7:30 to 9 p.m. on Saturday, August 10. Entry, including one glass of cider, costs $15 general admission; additional drinks will be available for purchase at $3 per glass of cider, $1.50 for bottled water.

Discounted admission for both tours is available for Historic Huguenot Street members, seniors, students, active military, veterans and children under 13. To reserve your spot for either, call (845) 255-1889 or visit www.huguenotstreet.org/eventsand-exhibitions.

Jared Cohen’s interest in unexpected transfers of power began during his childhood when he read the late Staatsburg author/illustrator Alice Provensen’s The Buck Stops Here, a book about US presidents.

Vice squad Morton Library hosts Accidental Presidents book talk with Jigsaw CEO Jared Cohen on Tuesday

J

ared Cohen was still in his early 20s when he was recruited by the US State Department in 2006 to bring new ideas to its Policy Planning Staff. His main claim to fame while serving as an advisor to Condoleezza Rice and Hillary Clinton was shepherding in the use of social media as a tool for diplomacy. After that success he became the chief executive of Google Ideas, retaining that post when that incubator morphed into Jigsaw at Alphabet, Inc. He made Time magazine’s 100 Most Influential People List in 2013 and is still an adjunct fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations.

Cohen’s also a history nerd, with a special interest in unexpected transfers of power acquired from the late Staatsburg author/illustrator Alice Provensen’s The Buck Stops Here, a book about US presidents that he read as a child. His new book, Accidental Presidents: Eight Men Who Changed America, traces the circumstances that brought John Tyler, Millard Fillmore, Andrew Johnson, Chester Arthur, Theodore Roosevelt, Calvin Coolidge, Harry Truman and Lyndon Johnson to power, and what those abrupt changes meant for American history. The author will be giving a reading and talk based on Accidental Presidents at the Morton Memorial Library on Tuesday, August 13.

Of these seismic shifts in presidential power, the one with the most far-reaching effects was Andrew Johnson’s accession following the Lincoln assassination – in particular his reversal of Lincoln’s plans to provide reparations for freed slaves.

“The victory in the Civil War gave the country an enormous opportunity that was completely squandered, and we’re still paying a price for it today,” Cohen said in an April Guardian interview. He’s a fan of Teddy Roosevelt, but thinks he was too “irresponsible” to have made a good wartime president. And when pressed on the question of how Mike Pence would fare if Donald Trump should

be impeached, or removed from office due to disability via the 25th Amendment, Cohen compared him to “Silent Cal” Coolidge, who maintained plausible deniability during the scandal-ridden Harding administration by avoiding meetings where he knew potentially dicey topics would be discussed.

Can the Moon bring rain?

With a fat Gibbous Moon ruining this Sunday’s Perseid meteor shower, it’s tempting to make the Moon a scapegoat for other problems as well.

It’s not as screwy as it sounds. Folklore has long endowed the Moon with various powers, which, although discredited by the facts, are still widely believed. For example, the Full Moon does not foster mental illness; psychiatric hospital admissions show no rise. No link to crime either, according to a Dade County study. As for the

Moon’s influence on menstrual cycles, its 29.5-day sequence of phases does not parallel the average cycle of women. And (although many maternity wing personnel swear otherwise) there are no more births during the Full Moon than any other phase. Now, recent studies let us replace those old myths with new lunar powers.

Of course, people have always noticed the Moon’s synchronicity with the five-foot average rise and fall of the oceans at the shoreline. More recent science has credited the Moon with an eight-inch tidally induced deformity in crustal rock – which, by the way, is amazingly small. That the solid mass of our planet warps just 0.23 meter

in the presence of such a nearby mass as the Moon makes us one of the universe’s structural success stories.

But an even-newer (to us) effect is the Moon’s ability to generate an atmospheric tide, a gaseous pulse that creates daily changes in air pressure.

It also alters circulation patterns such as the subtropical high-pressure belts. These may help explain amazing-if-subtle links, recognized since the 1960s, between lunar phase and cloudiness, hurricane formation and precipitation. The Moon definitely influences the weather.

Twenty years ago, researchers analyzing satellite data announced yet another effect: At the time of Full Moon, the temperature of the lower four miles of atmosphere increases by two hundredths of a degree Fahrenheit. Not enough to allow you to leave your sweater home on moonlit nights, but possibly enough to provide new theories to explain the link between weather and lunar phase.

Other investigators think the Moon’s influence involves subtler mechanisms. Some maintain that the statistical increase in thunderstorm activity observed around Full Moon may be caused by our planet’s magnetic tail undergoing Moon-induced distortions. Other theorists suggest that rainfall might increase a few days after Full and New Moon because clouds are “seeded” by the Moon’s modulation of meteor dust. Studies from 2014 and 2016 confirm a one-percent rainfall variation

ALMANAC WEEKLY

Aug. 8, 2019 caused by the Moon, and linked particularly to local weather when the Moon is near the horizon, rising or setting.

Back in 1995, University of Arizona investigators suggested a direct mechanism other than lunarinduced air pressure changes, tidal or magnetic effects. They surmised the Moon’s action may be primarily thermal, caused by infrared emission from its hot 230-degree daylight surface, aimed at us like an electric bathroom heater. Since

this energy is 100,000 times less intense than the heat we receive directly from the Sun, it’s probably supplemented by the Full Moon’s simple mirroring of sunlight at the night side of Earth.

The mirror effect is slight because the Moon is one of the least shiny objects in the known universe. Its albedo of 10 – which means it reflects just 10 percent of the sunlight that strikes it – matches the reflectivity of asphalt. The Moon’s appearance, then, is no brighter than if

its surface were entirely paved like an enormous mall parking lot. This helps explain why the Full Moon drearily appears 450,000 times less bright than the Sun. It appears white only because of its contrast with the even-darker nighttime sky behind it.

So the Moon can’t win this month. If skies

are clear, a nearly Full Moon washes out the summer meteors, one of the year’s best celestial shows. If it’s cloudy, then it’s not meteor showers but rainshowers that we might blame on Earth’s nearest neighbor. Almost enough to make us howl.

Spirituality

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

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

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. Savanna; petite, medium hair tiger & raised 2 litters of kittens. Now it’s this very sweet & cuddly cat girl’s time to be loved w/the kindness she gave her kittens. Tamari; 8-yr. old buff cat girl who is sweet and gentle. Mishu; opinionated 10year old orange medium hair cat boy. He needs to be your only pet. QUEENIE; 8-yr. old tiger cat girl (who looks like an Abyssinian) & is very sweet. She wants you all to herself so no other pets, please. BABY; 4-year old tiger striped cat boy. 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. TIGER; very sweet 6-year old brown tabby girl who’d make a perfect addition to your loving family. LEXI; beautiful tiger cat girl w/a heart of gold! Lexi was adopted, but was bullied by the resident cat, & 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 MANY ADORABLE KITTENS- (Aren’t they all?) as well as CATS & DOGS of different ages who’ll add tremendous joy to your life. All they ask is to be cared for properly & be loved. In return, they’ll give you a lifetime of unconditional LOVE. Max & Chase; 6-year old Golden Retriever brothers. These super sweet boys are bonded & must be adopted together.

Just think- Twice the love! ROCKY; Border Collie/Sheltie mix. He is such a sweet dog!

Lacey; 7-year old sweet girl looking for a laid-back home where she’ll be the only

pet. Charlotte; 7-year old female who needs a quiet, loving home & needs to be the only pet. Could she be your new family member? PENELOPE; sweet 8-month old Terrier mix. She weighs 15 pounds. SABRINA; 4-year old Pit mix girl. She’s very sweet & affectionate. Please- no cats. Dogs- males 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 845-679-0339 to answer any questions you may have.
