Nields headline Ridgefest in New Paltz

W

hile the two organizations have shared facilities and co-promoted events for a number of years, the Ridgefest three-day arts and music festival represents the most ambitious collaboration to date between the School of Fine & Performing Arts at SUNY-New Paltz and the Unison Arts Center and Sculpture Garden. The Ridgefest lineup features music, dance and theater, including evening performances and family-oriented shows, all taking place at three venues on the New Paltz campus: Studley Theatre, Parker Theatre and McKenna Theatre.

A kickoff celebration takes place on Friday, September 6 at 6 p.m. in the Student Union Multipurpose Room. Honoring SUNY-New Paltz president Donald P. Christian and Unison founders Stuart and Helene Bigley for their support of the local arts scene, the party features music provided by student group Absolut A Cappella. Hors d’oeuvres and desserts are included with the ticket price, and there will be a cash bar.

Then the festival hits its stride, featuring performances by the contemporary folk act the Nields, indie rock from the Bonsai Trees, jazz and soul singer Raina Sokolov-Gonzalez, storyteller and musician David Gonzalez, the Afrocentric OKRA Dance Company and the flamenco trio Mario, Reynaldo and Niko Rincon. The weekend will also offer family-geared performances for kids and adults alike, including Firebird by the Puppet People, the one-man bubble comedy show Bubble Trouble with Jeff Boyer and celebrated contortionist Jeff Burns, who has appeared on America’s Got Talent, Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood and more.

Alexandra Baer, executive director of Unison, says that she is “very excited to bring world-class performances in a myriad of disciplines to a large audience outside of Unison’s famously intimate setting. Add to this our collaboration with the SUNY campus and you have a win/win for New Paltz and the entire Hudson Valley.� Jeni Mokren, dean of the School of Fine & Performing Arts, stressed the value of the synergy with Unison. “The School of Fine & Performing Arts is excited to expand our partnership with Unison Arts on Ridgefest,� she said. “The collaboration allows us to reach a broader audience and leverage our strengths to create a weekend’s worth of engaging events for audiences of all ages.�

THE BEAT GOES ON

Jack DeJohnette, Paul Winter, NEXUS with So Percussion and more to perform at free Drum Boogie Festival in Woodstock

P

ercussionist and businessman Garry Kvistad runs the Drum Boogie Festival every other year, but it wasn’t his idea. Eleven years ago, Kvistad had a meeting with assemblyman Kevin Cahill, who asked if he had ever done a percussion festival. Cahill suggested that Kvistad start one, and he offered to apply for a state funding grant. From that suggestion, the Drum Boogie Festival (named for a jazz standard by Gene Krupa and Roy Eldridge) began a decade ago

in Kingston. After two daylong festivals two years apart, Drum Boogie moved to Andy Lee Field in Woodstock. The sixth Festival will take place there on September 7, from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.

“Our percussion world is pretty tightknit,” Kvistad says. “People know each other pretty well. The first person I called was [jazz star] Jack DeJohnette. I told him, “People love to hear you play.” He agreed to play, and has been at every Festival. When I told other players that Jack was going to be there, they wanted to

join in also. After playing with Steve Reich for over 40 years, I have a lot of friends in the percussion world. They like to come and hear each other play. Jack usually stays for the whole day. We take advantage of all the variety in percussion by inviting people who play such different styles of music. People are blown away when they realize there is so much diversity in percussion. It’s not just backbeat. We have a lot of dance, too.

“Last time, beatbox [percussion done with the voice and body] came from New York and it was a big hit. This year they are bringing break dancers. We’ll have an African-American street band with drumming and brass. Paul Winter is on at 3 with his My Brazil Quintet, and Philippe Petit will introduce him. And at 5, my group NEXUS and So Percussion will combine to play Steve Reich’s Drumming, complete. It lasts an hour.”

“We don’t have to go very far to get the greatest musicians. Many of them live in our area, and nobody is coming from any further than New York. It’s going to be a beautiful collective day.” In addition to the music, Drum Boogie features some excellent food trucks and art vendors.

The complete schedule is listed on the Festival’s website.

Dirt Farmer Festival relocates from Arrowood Farms to Levon Helm Studios In what is becoming an unfortunate trend in local festivals, the Dirt Farmer Festival has announced the withdrawal of Grateful Dead bassist Phil Lesh from the lineup. Following the news, the Dirt Farmer folks have decided to move the weekend’s events from Arrowood Farms in Accord to Levon Helm Studios in Woodstock, and to reimagine the festival as two exceptional well-stocked weekend shows. On Friday, September 6, Dirt Farmer presents the Midnight Ramble Band, legendary space rockers Mercury Rev, the modern indie-blues ace Anders Osborne and the popular indie-Americana duo Birds of Chicago.

Heck of a show!

On Saturday, September 7, the lineup features the Midnight Ramble Band once again, the great American roots poet and troubadour Steve Earle, Bon Iver cohort

Phil Cook and the Brooklyn indie popsters Elizabeth & the Catapult.

All tickets for the Dirt Farmer Festival at Arrowood Farms will be automatically refunded via Eventbrite. Tickets for the replacement shows cost $100 for seated, $75 for standing.

the jazz world by turning out to be more conservative and traditional than his father, in a reversal of the more common lineal narrative. In some ways, however, Redman’s “conservatism” was prescient, as many of the premier jazz artists of the 21st century have fought to reclaim some of the audience that jazz lost via inaccessibility without ever lowering jazz’s basic bar to entry. While its title may promise a shape-shifting ADHD that the record doesn’t quite fulfill, MoodSwing is an elegant, beautiful collection of Redman originals that cover quite a bit of ground, from the restrained, “All Blues”-inspired opener “Sweet Sorrow” through the poppy, backbeat-driven “Faith,” the purring Latin groove of “Alone in the Morning” and the exquisite untimed counterpoint of “Dialogue,” on which Joshua pays tribute to the Texas hornslingers Dewey and Ornette. Everything here is tuneful, tasteful and in every way above reproach.

Amazing how far they have all come, too.

Zepperalla performs at Colony September 12

The long-running, all-female Led Zeppelin tribute band Zepperalla returns to the area with a show at Colony in Woodstock on Thursday, September 12. The San Francisco-based rockers feature vocalist Anna Kristina, guitarist Gretchen Menn, bassist Holly West and Clementine in the allimportant Bonzo chair. The band goes deep into Zep’s catalogue and honors their audacious experimental spirit with their own improvisational flights.

Senate Garage hosts Andy Bey on Friday Jazzstock presents legendary pianist and vocalist Andy Bey at the Senate Garage in Kingston on Friday, September 6. Described by The New York Times as “the least-known of great jazz singers,” Bey’s greatness has been proven in a string of well-received recordings and in his long-running residency in New York City at the elegant 75 Club in TriBeCa. His recording career extends as far back as 1952, and his singing has been featured on recordings by Max Roach, Duke Pearson and Gary Bartz, among others. His discography as leader features 12 titles over more than 50 years. Bigname bookings are routine at Jazzstock, but this one is special. Tickets cost $30 and are available online or at Rhino Records next door.

At a certain point, you begin to suspect she has a double – even a fleet of Lara Hopes and Ark-Tones that she sends out simultaneously along various national circuits, coordinated to ensure that the plausibility of it being one band is never completely challenged. This hardest-working band spent most of 2018 on the road, both in Europe and in the US, touring with some of their musical heroes, including a six-week national tour with the Brian Setzer Orchestra and regional tours with the Blasters and the Reverend Horton Heat. While all current evidence suggests that Lara and the boys are somewhere in the Midwest right now, and maintaining a Southwestern tack, Colony claims that the region’s premier roots-rock and rockabilly band, Lara Hope and the ArkTones, will be in Woodstock on Saturday, September 7 with Woodstock blues and garage-rock legends Big Sister in support. Tickets cost $12 in advance, $15 at the door.

Joshua Redman Quartet to revisit MoodSwing at Falcon on Saturday Even by the Falcon’s lofty standards, this is a big one: On Saturday, September 7 the region’s premiere jazzand-more venue presents MoodSwing Reunion, saxophonist Joshua Redman revisiting his landmark 1994 album with the quartet who made it, all of whom – to a man – a have gone on to become legitimate jazz superstars and generation-defining musicians and composers: drummer Brian Blade, bassist Christian McBride and pianist Brad Mehldau. To list these guys’ “worked with” credits would be laughably inappropriate; they are the cats you’d be ecstatic to put on your list, if only you were so lucky and so good.

Does anyone even think to research what actors are available who actually live with t h e d i s a b i l i ty in question?

When a big star is interested in the project, the answer is a flat no.

And what about a main character whose limitations are intellectual?

Again, it’s seen as a star vehicle: Think of Giulietta Masina as Gelsomina, Cliff Robertson as Charly, Dustin Hoffman as Raymond, Peter Sellers as Chance the Gardener, Tom Hanks as Forrest Gump, Sean Penn as Sam. No one is out there scouting for actors with actual

developmental disabilities to play such parts. The first lead role in a featurelength film for a person with Down syndrome was Philly Wohl playing himself in Ira Wohl’s 1979 Oscar-winning documentary Best Boy, and ten years later Chris Burke broke some serious new ground as the protagonist of the TV series Life Goes On. Lauren Potter, who played a longrunning sidekick role in Glee, also has Down syndrome.

But that’s about it. For the intellectually challenged, “representation� in movies still seems like a dauntingly distant goal.

Until now: Prepare yourself to fall head-over-heels in love with a lead character with Down syndrome on the big screen, portrayed by Zack Gottsagen, an actor who has genuinely walked the walk. The 34-year-old Floridian knew he wanted to act from early childhood on,

more protagonists who are not white straight European-descended males are having their stories told. There are still all too many instances of famous white European-descended actors being cast instead of equally talented, more ethnically appropriate ones to play nonwhite characters; but at least now, when it happens, someone points it out and there’s some dialogue. The process has been glacial, but opportunities are gradually broadening and what we see onscreen is becoming more diverse. Hallelujah.

The last frontier in this regard, it seems, is characters with disabilities.

There are a few exceptions, such as a vigorous presence of deaf actors portraying deaf characters since Marlee Matlin’s pioneering, Oscar-winning lead performance in Children of a Lesser God (1986), and of course a long history in Hollywood of roles (not always dignified ones) for actors with dwarfism. But when it comes to a story where the lead character is confined to a wheelchair,

and he had the good fortune to be born to a mother fierce enough to take on the Palm Beach board of education when it summarily rejected Zack’s application to attend a performing arts magnet school on account of his disability. Gottsagen’s confident screen presence in Becoming Bulletproof, Michael Barnett’s 2014 documentary about a group of disabled adults making a Western movie at Zeno Mountain Farm, inspired writer/ directors Tyler Nilson and Michael Schwartz to make their first feature film a vehicle specifically tailored to his talents.

The stunning result is The Peanut Butter Falcon, which strolled off with the Narrative Spotlight Audience Award at this past spring’s SXSW Festival, for reasons that will become immediately apparent when you make haste to your local arts cinema to watch it. Gottsagen plays Zak, a young developmentally disabled man abandoned by his family to a North Carolina retirement home, who obsessively watches videos by a wrestling guru called the Salt Water Redneck (Thomas Haden Church) and dreams of becoming a professional wrestler himself (the title refers to his preferred stage name). With the aid of his impish elderly roommate Carl (Bruce Dern), Zak escapes and takes to the road wearing nothing but his tighty whities. Eleanor (Dakota Johnson), Zak’s caretaker, is dispatched to retrieve him before the state social services people find out about the security breach.

Meanwhile, the other lead character, Tyler (Shia LaBeouf ), has lost his fishing guide’s license after a fatal DUI accident

and is reduced to stealing crabs from other crabbers’ pots to survive. A dispute with two other local fishermen, Duncan (John Hawkes) and Ratboy (Yelawolf ), incites Tyler to set their dock on fire. He steals a boat and flees, unaware that Zak has stowed away, asleep under a tarp.

And so begins their adventure: two social misfits on the lam from the law, acting out a modern-day Huckleberry Finnesque odyssey down the Outer Banks, in search of refuge, their next meal and the Salt Water Redneck’s wrestling school. In pursuit are Duncan and Ratboy, seeking revenge, and Eleanor, seeking to save the innocent young man she mistakenly assumes to be utterly vulnerable and devoid of personal resources.

At first Tyler simply wants to be rid of his accidentally acquired buddy, but he succumbs as quickly as the audience to Zak’s straightforward, unpretentious charm. Seeing some local youths taunt Zak as a “retard” triggers the outlaw’s sense of righteous indignation, and a magical bond is forged. Soon Tyler is teaching Zak to swim and to shoot and to drink moonshine, passing the time on their ragtag journey by designing him a training regimen for his desired career.

There is so much to love about The Peanut Butter Falcon that it’s tough to know where to begin praising it. It deploys all the most winning aspects of what we think of when we say “Americana”: the romantic notion of outsiders who don’t thrive well within social safety nets finding one another and creating an intentional family.

Albert M. Rosenblatt is a Judge (Ret.) of the New York Court of Appeals, a Judicial Fellow at New York University Law School, of counsel to the law firm of McCabe and Mack, and a founder and past President of the Historical Society of the Courts of the State of New York. His books include: “The Judges of the New York Court of Appeals: A Biographical History,” and as co-author with Julia Rosenblatt “Historic Court Houses of the State of New York” and “Opening Statements: Law, Jurisprudence and the Legacy of Dutch New York.” Judge Rosenblatt was educated at the University of Pennsylvania and Harvard Law School.

to some deep homespun philosophizing about what makes a “good guy” or a “bad guy,” supplies the film’s thematic core.

Zak helps Tyler find inner peace as much as Tyler puts Zak in the path to achieve his goals. Male bonding this sweet and rich, grounded in matters much deeper than the raunchy humor we’ve grown used to of late, has been in short supply in contemporary filmmaking. And then Eleanor finds them, and their shared flight becomes more complicated.

The cinematography of the southern Atlantic coast is stunning, the music score of raw gospel and old-timey bluegrass the best of its kind since O Brother, Where Art Thou? The core actors are all terrific (this coming from a critic who was hitherto not much of a LaBeouf fan); their journey is peppered with encounters with highly entertaining backwoods characters, the most engaging of whom is a wild-haired swamp preacher known as Blind Jasper John (Wayne Dehart), who makes the two white boys work hard for what they initially meant to steal from him. If there’s a notable weakness in this film, it’s the tiny number of female roles, but Johnson often grabs the spotlight as her character undergoes her own transformative flight from a bureaucracy-bound existence.

When applied to a movie, terms like “heartwarming” can strike some as a red flag of excess sentimentality to

be avoided. I didn’t much like Forrest Gump, for precisely that reason. While PG-13 rated, The Peanut Butter Falcon has enough rough edges – including some scenes of alarming violence and cruelty – to avoid sliding into gooeyness, even while it burrows itself somewhere underneath your sternum and kindles a gentle glow. You will be rooting enthusiastically for this team of scalawags to find their various ways to freedom, and you’ll come out of the theater with a grin on your face. The very talented Zack Gottsagen deserves much of the credit. I expect we’ll see him up there onscreen again, representing a future filled with lots more meaty stories told by those who live them.

Jessica DuPont had a similar experience when she stopped in over a decade ago.

The place was disorganized, and there was a For Sale sign in the window, but it struck a chord for DuPont: “I thought, ‘I can make something of this,” she says now.

“And that’s what I did.”

Half Moon first opened around 20 years ago, and just celebrated its tenth anniversary under DuPont’s ownership, and as the crown jewel of Uptown Kingston’s thriving book scene. It has taken a lot of work – “I had never worked with books at all, and yet I decided to buy a bookstore,” she says with a laugh – but the result is a literary hoard, packed wall-towall and sometimes along the floor with used books of every description.

distinguishes herself as a generalist who carries something for everyone, or for that someone who, like her, is interested in everything. “I think my intellectual curiosity is reflected in the store,” she says, and the well-stocked selections of children’s books, philosophy texts, poetry collections and hardcover artbooks bear it out. Her fiction section is particularly well-stocked, with big shelves devoted to topnotch indie publishers like New Directions, Dalkey Archive and New York Review Book Classics that make it easy to find obscure and vintage stuff.

To keep the space well-stocked, DuPont travels – a lot. She visits library sales, auctions, estate sales and goes through private libraries. She once rented a truck and drove with her daughter down to Maryland for a big collection of astrology books. Used and antique bookselling is a true community, and she finds herself meeting – and competing – with others frequently. Her generalist training comes in handy at these events, allowing her to pick through sections that others are ignoring. But even when it becomes contentious, “It’s a collegial sort of competition,” she jokes. “I’ve never been knocked over or had a rib broken or anything.”

There are certain tipoffs that signal a good buy – beautifully illustrated children’s books, for instance – but a lot of it comes down to intuition. She has twice come upon first US editions of Tolkien’s The Hobbit, found a first edition of On the Road haphazardly thrown into a plastic bin and even opened a poetry book to find that it had come from the private library of Orson Welles. And then there are the mementos pressed between pages, from birthday cards to shopping lists, photographs and the “bittersweet history” of bookmarks from shuttered

bookstores. Browsing her shelves, you might never know what your book will open to: “Typically we take a picture and then put it back for someone else to find.”

Earlier this year, DuPont purchased a collection of 640 boxes totaling more than 15,000 books, and, given that about 70 percent of her business occurs in person, she found herself in need of somewhere to display them. She settled on a space across the river, on the site of the old Village Books in Tivoli. The space is smaller, which has necessitated greater curation.

Since opening last month, she has largely stocked the shelves with academic books, as well as a large children’s section, but DuPont says she’s still trying to figure out what the community wants. “Kingston is a big giant store,” she says, “so Tivoli is making me be more thoughtful in terms of what I put on the shelves, because I have fewer shelves to put books on.” On the whole, however, “It’s certainly been much easier than the first time around.” Ten years of buying and selling books make a lot of difference.

Incredibly, this will likely not be her final expansion of 2019. Half Moon and World’s End Comics are planning to go in on a Midtown store, which DuPont will keep stocked with science fiction and fantasy paperbacks. Her recommendations

include classics like Dune as well as N. K. Jemisin’s recent Hugo Award-winning The Fifth Season.

All this expansion seems to run counter to a business that increasingly operates online.

But DuPont says that she loves being surrounded by books all day long, as well as the ability to talk to people about whatever fascinations their selections reveal.

“I’ve had some great conversations here spurred by people’s interests,” she says. “If you ask people to speak about a topic that they’re interested in, they warm up and open up to you.” But even if she came to Half Moon as a bibliophile with no bookselling experience to speak of, her ultimate pleasure is one unique to those of her rare cadre: “I get to buy my favorite books over and over if I feel like it,” she says. “And then I get to sell them to someone else.”

GENTRIFICATION TALK WITH SAMUEL STEIN AT KINGSTON’S ROUGH DRAFT ON SUNDAY

T

he City of Kingston used to be an affordable place to live, but that is changing rapidly. According to the Kingston Tenants’ Union, since 2002, rents in the city have increased by 50 percent, while wages decreased slightly. Evictions are up 65 percent since 2016. The city is in the midst of a rent crisis, defined as having a vacancy rate of five percent or less for rental properties. While the revitalization of former industrial properties in Midtown, driven largely by the sweat equity of artists, has been lauded and now formalized as an Arts District, this process is a double-edged sword that almost inevitably leads to gentrification and the displacement of workingclass residents if deliberate planning measures are not part of the picture.

Enter Samuel Stein, author of Capital City: Gentrification and the Real Estate State (Verso Books, March 2019), who will be speaking this Sunday evening at Rough Draft. With the industrial economy shrinking and some 60 percent of global assets now invested in real estate, following the stock market collapse that triggered the Great Recession, Stein argues that development interests now wield disproportionately high influence over municipal governments and the urban planners who work for them.

Developer-driven planning ultimately serves the interests of wealthy investors rather than those of urban residents. If places like Kingston are not to become enclaves for highly paid Manhattan-bound commuters, decisions need to be made now at the city government level that prioritize enabling current residents to stay over attracting outsiders with deep pockets to pay higher property taxes.

Capital City explains the role of planners in what Stein has dubbed “the real estate state,” as well as the remarkable power of planning to reclaim urban life.

On Sunday, September 8 from 5 to 7 p.m., Stein will read from Capital City, and will then be joined by Betsy Kraat, a founding member of the Kingston Tenants’ Union, for conversation and an audience question-and-answer session. Rough Draft has invited local politicians, developers, homeowners and renters to attend an event that owners Amanda and Anthony Stromoski hope will be “eye-opening and educational for all.” Admission is free, and Capital City is available at Rough Draft before and during the event for ten percent off the cover price. Beverages and refreshments can be purchased at the bar.

and paranoia, haunted synchronicities, shadow-world manipulations of history, tricksters and false guides and the sudden and irreparable rupture of everything normal and stable in one man’s life. It also posits a model of what a sturdy self might look like after such a rupture, after acute exposure to the things going on underground and overhead. And it takes place down by the Rondout.

Every name, date, number, address and routine fact of this novel is a trick, a play, a connective reference. You can see Ponckhockie Union’s dense, festering and occult substructure through every crack in the story – mainly because the author makes no attempt to conceal his meta-fictive webwork, going so far as to include Paul Auster, the great novelist of synchronicity and crumbling realities, as a major character. The fun begins in the very name of the narrator: Benedict Arnold “Ben” Rose, a struggling filmmaker who is in the early stages of producing a Howard Zinninspired documentary about the Burning of Kingston.

Ben Rose stumbles into a terrifying reality that will literally and figuratively hold him captive across the novel’s duration. A nameless nemesis is hiding in all the photographs and precipitating all the major plot developments – a shadowy manipulator of reality and of Ben Rose’s intimate life that Rose unwittingly engaged decades ago in a chance encounter with a Special Ops-type mercenary figure who was a bit loose with his stories of international conspiracy.

Robison plays with cabalism, codes, alternate histories, numerology and other staples of occult fiction. Some of the everpopular Masonic myth finds its way in, as does a good deal of Eastern p h i l o s o p h y.

But unlike conventional occult fiction, unknowing is Ponckhockie Un i o n ’s o n l y secret knowledge, and negation is its mode of arriving to it. Everything Rose learns or thinks he learns – about the mercenary Jack Dunne, about his namesake Benedict Arnold, about the agendas and operatives of real power and the puppet show of history – is challenged,

consciously resists genre identifications, lest weird and warped be construed as the purview of science fiction, fantasy, horror and magical realism alone. And the stakeholders are conspicuously mum and noncommittal regarding that old literary-versus-popular thing as well.

The positioning is subtle and inviting.

Any type of fiction can warp reality. One could even argue that, with the exception of the strictest imagistic minimalism that briefly held sway in the ’80s, in which people brush their teeth with the wrong brush, spit and argue a bit without saying much, fiction can’t help but warp reality.

All Recital Publishing asks, really, is the willing recognition and encouragement of the crazy stuff that’s already there in

potentia: a conscious heightening of the transformative worldmaking action that starts to happen, on its own, the moment you begin telling a story. Let fiction challenge reality. Let it alienate and estrange. Want that.

Consider as proof-of-concept Recital co-founder Brent Robison’s new novel Ponckhockie Union. Confined mostly to the riverfront neighborhood of Kingston from which is it takes its name, Ponckhockie Union is a local novel, a local history of sorts. Based on that description alone, you are probably hearing in your head a generally stable novel of place spiked, García-Márquez-style, with some magic or other. Not. Ponckhockie Union is a mad fireworks display of global conspiracy

compromised or canceled by something else he learns, until there is only Ben Rose and his unknowing. The novel is a fugue of intensifying evidence and suspicion without resolution. All dots that won’t quite connect, Ponckhockie reminds me in this respect of Thomas Pynchon’s micro-classic of free-floating paranoia, The Crying of Lot 49.

The meat of Robison’s narrative, however, is not in its play of frustrated conspiracy, shapeshifting evil and altered histories, but rather in this seriously considered question: What happens in the psyche of the individual who experiences this reality-shattering exposure and the complete derailment of the normal and habitual? Ponckhockie Union is really a story of a fast-track enlightenment, a compulsory ascent to wisdom. The novel tracks the rapid undoing of a man, his flimsy and false securities and identity, and his replacement by one hard-earned certainty alone: I am. The entire middle of the story is given to this traumatic philosophical progression, first as Ben Rose is trained – in captivity and by his captor – in the consciousness techniques of Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, and later as he learns to live in hiding.

All of which makes Ponckhockie Union a bit of a puzzler stylistically, a fusion of conspiracy mystery and Eastern-tinged

Kingston book-signing with memoirist Beth Cramer on Monday New Paltz resident Beth Cramer, a successful film editor, wife and mother of a young son, was working on a novel inspired by four women in her community who were contending with cancer all around the same time, when Cramer herself was diagnosed with Stage 4 ovarian cancer. She hadn’t been symptomatic at all. Now, suddenly, the re-

search for her book had become very personal. And the shock of discovering that her body had become a ticking time bomb put past anxieties, depressions and regrets into a whole new perspective. Cramer was forced to reevaluate what was truly important to her, and to her loved ones.

The planned novel soon morphed into a darkly funny and painfully honest memoir, titled Why Didn’t I Notice Her Before? The “Her� in this case signifies the author herself – the person she had failed to appreciate while she was busy making other plans and obsessing over previous life choices. With her cancer currently in remission but the future uncertain, Cramer is charging full steam ahead into whatever time she may have left in the world.

Why Didn’t I Notice Her Before? has now been released on Amazon. Hear the author share her hard-won insights about “dying to live� at a book-signing event

“Tonalism” and “Paper Media” exhibitions open at Dorsky

he Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art at SUNY-New Paltz announces the simultaneous opening of two exciting new exhibits. Curated by Karen Quinn, senior historian and curator at the New York State Museum, “Tonalism: Pathway from the Hudson River School to Modern Art” considers a late-19th-century movement in painting with ties to the mid-Hudson region and its immediate influence on developments in Modernism. The exhibition builds on the work of well-known trailblazers such as James McNeil Whistler and George Inness, while also shedding light on the contributions of lesser-known masters with ties to New York. Featured artists include Frederick Kost of Long Island, Birge Harrison of Woodstock, Alexander Wyant of Arkville and Keene Valley and Walter Launt Palmer of Albany. “Tonalism” is on exhibit from August 28 through December 8, with an opening reception on Saturday, September 7 from 5 to 7 p.m.

On display for the same span is “Paper Media: Boetti, Calzolari, Kounellis,” the first-ever exhibition in the US to focus on works-on-paper by artists related to the Italian art movement, Arte Povera. Curated by Francesco Guzzetti, scholar-in-residence at the Magazzino Italian Art Foundation in Cold Spring, “Paper Media” features work by three masters: Alighiero Boetti, Pier Paolo Calzolari and Jannis Kounellis. The opening reception also falls on Saturday, September 7 from 5 to 7 p.m.

The Hudson River Maritime Museum welcomes Stephanie Fischer, creator and lead instructor of Yoga of the Earth, in her new role as leader of paddleboard yoga and paddleboard tours of the Rondout Creek. Held Friday through Sunday in September, each yoga class begins with an instruction in paddleboarding. Students will spend some time exploring the waters of the Rondout Creek before dropping anchor for a relaxing onehour yoga session. This class is designed to encourage awareness of the natural world while taking the time to build a strong foundation to cultivate confidence in your practice. A paddleboard rental from Flatwater Paddle is included in the price of $30.

The Museum has also announced a series of two-hour paddleboard nature tours on the Rondout and Hudson. Students will learn about the diverse ecosystem of the river and historical industries that have existed along and shaped the current state of the Hudson River. This tour will offer plenty of opportunity to watch birds and wildlife. At low tide, several wrecks and remnants of ships will be visible.

NATURE Fungus among us Fabulous Fungi walk in Woodstock this Saturday, mushrooming weekend in Huguenot later this month

I

n a good mushrooming year, as 2019 has been, following the MidHudson Mycological Association (MHMA) online can be an exercise in self-torture. This past May, for example, members were proudly displaying photo spreads of the dozens of rare and tasty morels that they had found.

Later, oyster mushrooms and chanterelles and other choice edible fungi had their times of abundance. What these savvy mushroom-hunters don’t share, of course, are directions to their favored foraging spots. Not wanting to see them picked over is understandable, but not knowing where to go can be immensely frustrating.

The best solution available is to tag along on one of MHMA’s organized trail walks. You may not see any sweet spots that will reward a revisit, but you’ll get a sense of what habitats to look for. Different fungi prefer to grow on different kinds of rotting wood, for example, and this is information that you can add to your own skillset. Lessons in how to identify species with confidence are part of each outing.

On Saturday, September 7 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., the Woodstock Land Conservancy’s monthly First Saturdays on the Trail program series will feature a “Fabulous Fungi” mushroom exploration at the Sloan Gorge Preserve, located at 487 Stoll Road in Woodstock, led by MHMA’s Erwin Karl.

During this two-hour walk, participants will learn about characteristics of mushroom morphology and ecology, followed by an open-ended specimen ID session. Attendance for this program is limited and registration by e-mailing Ellie Reese at ellier.wlc@gmail.com is required.

Want a longer and deeper immersion?

There’s an annual multi-day mushroom hunt called the Charles Horton Peck Foray, being hosted this year by the New York Mycological Society (NYMS).

NIGHT SKY

September halos Ring wraiths in the sky

“0

” may mean “nothing” to a mathematician, but it’s a favorite shape for September sky-gazers. From the gaseous Ring Nebula now overhead to the beautiful Saturn system rising in the southeast at nightfall, rings are a recurring celestial theme. Yet most nature-lovers are oblivious to the most spectacular examples: the bright and beautiful halos that often encircle the Moon and Sun. They may simply be too big to catch our attention. The standard halo has an imposing 22-degree radius, closely matching an outstretched hand with thumb and little finger extended. A chorus line of 88 moons would be needed to span its breadth.

Halos appear against thin cirrus clouds several times each month, making them more common than onion rings. Red always forms the inside of the arc, followed by orange, yellow and then a whitish band.

Green and blue are rare. The colors are produced by prismlike refraction, while white halos are reflection phenomena. The reliable thumb-to-pinky radius is a result of the angle at which light enters and leaves the cloud’s countless tiny six-sided ice crystals.

Halos are the poor person’s Weather Channel: a time-honored harbinger of bad weather. This ancient folklore has a sound meteorological basis, for the high icy clouds spawning halos often signal the approach of a warm front, with lowering and thickening layers a good bet a few hours later.

If Sun or Moon is encircled by a much smaller disk with red on the outside and whose interior is glowing, then it’s not a halo at all; it’s a corona – a different animal. Caused by an entirely separate optical effect, a corona’s colored rings are the interference patterns of lightwaves on water droplets or ice. While always smaller than halos, coronas can display a wide range of dimensions depending on the size of the cloud’s droplets. Just as quiet people are often the most profound, smaller drops produce bigger rings.

If the glow is fuzzy and poorly defined, with a smearing of pale blue, yellow or browns, it’s an aureole – not the cookie, despite the possible chocolate resemblance. An aureole’s diffraction-based alchemy has the ability to mix colors, cooking up pastel hues not seen in either halos or rainbows. These are most pronounced during the brightest lunar

BOB BERMAN | ALMANAC WEEKLY

phases of fat gibbous and full, which will occur at midmonth.

Coronas and aureoles are frequent and lovely, but unlike halos, they have no talent for predicting bad weather. When they appear, the lower clouds are already here. Still, the show’s not over even if the clouds reach the ground, for on foggy nights the diffraction process allows colored rings to materialize around streetlights.

Eye irritation produces the same effect, as anyone who has just come from a chlorinated pool can attest. Such rings around lights, caused by ocular edema or inconsistencies in the cornea and lens, clear up spontaneously. But, more ominously, colored halos can also be produced by serious eye problems such as glaucoma.

How to tell if the colored ring around Moon or streetlight is really there, or merely an artifact of your own eye? Easy! Block out the light source with an outstretched thumb. If the halo vanishes, your eye manufactured it. If it remains, it’s for real. So, besides providing an optics demonstration of refraction, reflection and diffraction, an aesthetically lovely apparition and a weather forecast, sky-rings offer a good news/bad news situation: You’re either going blind or enjoying a spectacle of nature.

A quick test is to ask companions whether they see it too. A yes is always reassuring.

Kahn & Selesnick photo exhibit coming to Opus 40 The Gallery at Opus 40 in Saugerties features new work from Hudson Valley artists Kahn & Selesnick from September 12 through October 20, with an opening reception on September 14. The collaborative team of Nicholas Kahn and Richard Selesnick focuses on fictitious histories – past and future – using photography and installation art. These include documentary-style panoramic and square photographs that combine absurdist fantasy and bogus anthropology as well as elaborately crafted artifact, costumes and sculpture, often constructed of unlikely materials such as bread or fur. Their current work features the recreation of the Truppe Fledermaus’ Memory Theatre of 1932 with its full complement of Batfolk, Greenmen, Rope-Slingers and DeathDancers.

The business of media is changing, but local, on-the-ground, fact-checked journalism is needed now more than ever. We believe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important for the entire community, regardless of economic position, to have access to the local news that impacts their lives most. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t place our online content behind a paywall.

But good, local journalism costs money to produce. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where you come in. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re asking our online readers: If you value what we do, please consider making a contribution. Your help will ensure independent, locally owned journalism will continue to thrive in your community.

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.
