BOOK

Where the wild things are Isabella Tree, author of Wilding, comes to Bard to explain how England’s Knepp Castle was returned to nature

A

uthor Isabella Tree speaks at Bard College on Thursday, October 5. Tree’s lauded memoir, Wilding: Returning Nature to Our Farm, documents the author’s audacious effort to coax full-bodied nature back into England’s Knepp Estate. For years Charlie Burrell and his wife, Isabella Tree, farmed Knepp Castle Estate and struggled to turn a profit. By 2000, with the farm facing bankruptcy, they decided to try something radical: They would restore Knepp’s 3,500 acres to the wild. Using herds of free-roaming animals to mimic the actions of the megafauna of the past, they hoped to bring nature back to their depleted land. But what would the neighbors say, in the manicured countryside of modern England where a blade of grass out of place is considered an affront? Despite the opposition they faced, Knepp is now a breeding hotspot for rare and threatened species like turtledoves, peregrine falcons and purple emperor butterflies.

Gladys Knight headlines Bardavon Gala on Sunday

M

ere weeks after welcoming a very high-end Janis Joplin tribute show at UPAC, the Bardavon’s 150th Anniversary Gala scores quite the real thing: music legend Gladys Knight, who performs at the namesake Poughkeepsie theater on Sunday, October 6. The Gala is always a big deal and typically features an outsize booking, but even by that standard, this is a big one. Gladys Knight and her orchestra will perform all of her R & B chart-toppers, from “Every Beat of My Heart” to “I Heard It through the Grapevine” to “I Don’t Want to Do Wrong,” her soul/pop smashes “If I Were Your Woman,” “Love Overboard” and the oft-covered “Neither One of Us Wants to Be the First to Say Goodbye.”

Also on the playlist will be “That’s What Friends Are For,” “You’re the Best Thing that Ever Happened to Me” and the song that has become her unofficial anthem, “Midnight Train to Georgia.”

Funds raised by the Bardavon Gala help underwrite many programs that cannot support themselves – programs like school residencies that bring artists and musicians to local students, ambitious symphonic events and more. Ticket prices range from $125 to $275 and are tax-deductible.Gladys Knight, Sunday, Oct. 6, 8 p.m., $125-$275, Bardavon 1869 Opera House, 35 Market St., Poughkeepsie, (845) 473-2072, www.bardavon.org

Kairos performs Bach’s Cantata No. 18 on Sunday at Holy Cross As ever, under the direction of Dr. Edward Lundergan, Kairos: A Consort of Singers continues its 2019 Bach Cantata Series on Sunday, October 6.

The Baroque master wrote over 200 of these narrative vocal works, so Kairos has plenty to draw from. This concert features a performance of Cantata No. 18, “Gleichwie der Regen und Schnee vom Himmel fällt” (“Just as the Rain and Snow Fall from Heaven”) with chamber orchestra. Scored for the unusual combination of four violas, two recorders and continuo, this cantata is based on the Parable of the Sower and Seed, with rich musical imagery of rain and snowfall, growth and fertility. Kairos will be joined by guest violist David Holland, longtime faculty member at the Interlochen Arts Academy in Michigan. The concert will also include “Sing Joyfully,” an anthem by the English Renaissance composer William Byrd celebrating the joyful festival that accompanies October’s annual harvest, and the second movement of Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto

No. 6. The suggested donation is $10.

LAURA STEVENSON PERFORMS IN SAUGERTIES ON SATURDAY

A

mong its many other notable offerings, the Shout Out Saugerties event series has provided the songwriter Laura Stevenson a chance to play a true hometown show. A Saugerties resident as of this year, the recording artist will be performing in the Saugerties Reformed Church on Saturday, October 5. While Stevenson’s highly tuneful take on rumbustious power-pop has always allowed some bandwidth for excursions into the folk and country genres (and she makes no secret of her Dolly Parton obsession), 2018’s luminous solo record The Big Freeze represents her first all-in plunge into the chamber. A suite of mostly drumless acoustic songs embellished with restrained string arrangements, The Big Freeze manages, paradoxically, to be perhaps the most emotionally intense of Stevenson’s five full-lengths to date.

It is in that chamber mode that she will be performing in Saugerties. She will be accompanied in part by violinist Aidan Kohler, also a resident of the Hudson Valley, who has performed on almost all of Stevenson’s albums. Tickets cost $15.

For more information on all the events in Shout Out Saugerties, visit www. shoutoutsaugerties.org/all-events.

Glenn Mercer of the Feelies & Richard Barone of the Bongos play Colony on Saturday Of all the hip bands to emerge from Hoboken, New Jersey, in the early ’80s, it could be said that the two flagship acts that represented the scene nationally and on MTV were the Feelies and the Bongos. They also describe the two poles of the Hoboken Sound: the Feelies, an abrasive, rhythmically urgent minimalism of a piece with Talking Heads, but less comic; the Bongos, a more luminous, openheartedly tuneful jangle-pop. The two figures most associated with these legendary groups, Glenn Mercer of the Feelies and Richard Barone of the Bongos, team up for a show at Colony in Woodstock on Saturday, October 5. Barone and Mercer will be exploring songs by David Bowie, Brian Eno, Roxy Music, Lou Reed, Iggy Pop, T. Rex and others, along with songs from their own catalogues. Tickets cost $15 in advance, $20 on the day of the show.

John Gorka plays Phoenicia’s Methodist Church on Sunday When it is time to rejuvenate and reset, jazz pianists turn to the trio format; novelists go home to the unforgiving proving ground of the short story. Some 30 years and 15 fulllengths into his career on the forefront of the “New Folk” movement, singer/ songwriter John Gorka’s most recent release, 2018’s True in Time, is a daringly organic and exposed effort. It is not a true solo record but – even more audacious – a live-in-studio full band session, the way the revered forebears of folk and country did it perforce.

While he has explored as much and as widely as anyone might be expected to in such a long and prolific career, Gorka has never moved terribly far off his spot: a quiet, famously-sensitivebut-deceptively-edgy approach to

Linda Ronstadt in the documentary about her career.

A voice without borders Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice reviews a meteoric career, con afecto

A

s I recall, in late 1975, when Linda Ronstadt released her second platinumselling LP in one year, Prisoner in Disguise, some rock critic gave it a lukewarm review, complaining that the singer’s voice wasn’t really right for a “rock shouter” like “Heat Wave.” The Holland/Dozier/Holland staple, previously a hit for Martha and the Vandellas, soon made the Billboard Top Five. That sour phrase stuck in my craw, somehow.

As Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman’s new documentary Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice makes abundantly

clear, that was an ironic as well as a mystifying quibble. Although Ronstadt had first caught the public ear with “Different Drum,” a harpsichord-backed single recorded with an LA folk/rock band called the Stone Poneys, had found her first solo hit in the country-flavored ballad “Long Long Time” and had even won her first Grammy with a Hank Williams song, “I Can’t Help It (If I’m Still in Love with You),” by 1975 she was already nearly universally recognized as a master of the “rock shouter.”

Already in the can were her boisterous covers of “Rescue Me,” “You’re No Good” and “When Will I Be Loved?”

While the movie’s claim that Ronstadt was the first true female rock star can fairly be disputed by fans of Janis Joplin, Grace Slick and a few others, there’s no gainsaying its point that she was filling huge arenas by the mid-’70s – meaning not only filling the seats, but also blowing people out of them, reaching up to the rafters with her formidable pipes. That girlish, fragile-looking young woman from Tucson could belt and how. The discomfort in certain segments of the music press about how to classify Linda Ronstadt’s style – rock? pop? folk? country?

R & B? – might, taken in a different light,

illuminate her greatest strength: the ability to take someone else’s song, in whatever genre, and make it so much her own that hers pushed all previous versions out of the listener’s head. Her albums might’ve been shelved with the singer/songwriters of the period in record stores, but she was first and foremost a stellar interpreter.

Ronstadt was a discoverer as well, putting little-known songwriters on the map: the first to make a hit out of a composition by the McGarrigle sisters, for example, Anna’s “Heart Like a Wheel.” Her recording of “Someone to Lay Down Beside Me” is surely the best-known of any Karla Bonoff song. She was an early champion of the work of Randy Newman. In the film, Emmylou Harris is close to tears as she speaks about how her blossoming friendship with Ronstadt lifted her out of the funk caused by the overdose death of musical partner Gram Parsons just as her own career was getting started. Some pundits downplayed Ronstadt’s artistic significance because she didn’t write her own songs, but emerging songwriters need singers like her, badly.

Dodging easy categorization didn’t slow down Ronstadt’s success one bit.

She ended up winning 13 Grammys and

408 Main Street, Rosendale • rosendaletheatre.org

being nominated for 17 more. Ten of her singles reached the Top 40, and over her career she has sold more than 100 million records worldwide: the top-selling female musical artist of the 1970s, releasing an unprecedented five platinum albums in a row. As we learn in this documentary, though, she didn’t much like life on the road in a male-dominated profession, nor playing in huge venues, relying on amphetamines to keep performing night after night. So, in 1980, Ronstadt took an artistic leap that befuddled many and incited the skeptics to sharpen their axes: signing with Joe Papp to star as Mabel in the New York Shakespeare Festival’s production of The Pirates of Penzance. What? Operetta, now?

Turns out that she had listened to plenty of Gilbert and Sullivan as a girl – her mother’s influence. And she had the coloratura chops to knock this demanding role right out of Central Park. I was there that summer. I heard her do it: hit all the highest piping notes in “Poor Wand’ring One” with perfect clarity and control. Kevin Kline as the Pirate King won the Tony, but Linda Ronstadt’s arias made the little hairs on the backs of our arms stand up.

That was only the beginning of her experimental stylistic U-turns. As the movie points out, with her German surname, most fans didn’t realize that Ronstadt came of

Mexican heritage. She took it into her head, against the advice of her producers, to do an album of the frontera ballads that her father had loved to sing at home. Canciones de Mi Padre remains to this day the biggest-selling Spanish-language music LP ever recorded.

She went on to make two more in that genre, working with the world’s top mariachi artists.

And after that, she decided she wanted to work with Nelson Riddle, the arranger bestknown for his work with Frank Sinatra.

Beginning with What’s New, three albums of selections from the American Songbook followed, all of them monster best-sellers.

Clearly, trying to confine this gifted and audacious singer in any kind of a box has always been a terrible idea.

Only one thing could stop such a juggernaut: Parkinson’s disease, which began to cost Ronstadt her hitherto-impeccable vocal control around 2009. She retired two years later. There’s a terrible irony in the documentary’s subtitle, now that The Sound of My Voice has slipped into the past.

We see her trying to sing Mexican folksongs at home with her two brothers, and it’s not an embarrassing performance, but we can see on her face that she knows that the magic is gone for good. It’s heartbreaking.

How good to know how much of her bravura work has been preserved on

record and on film. This movie mines the motherlode freely. Go wallow in it.

EXPLO∏E A local discovers Omega

J

ust going there feels a little like pilgrimage. The Omega Institute claims to be in Rhinebeck; geopolitically, perhaps it is so. But this is not the quaint Rhinebeck of the Beekman Arms or Cole Palen’s Aerodrome. One drives the rolling, lulling lengths of dewy morning roads like Slate Quarry, Deep Ridge and Fiddler’s Bridge, angling southeast out of Rhinebeck past a number of old-money northern Dutchess farms and toward the deeper bush, on a more oblique pursuit.

Access to the campus is somewhat

Two Long Island women I met called Tara Brach “a rockstar of meditation.”

Well, that’s a pretty darn quiet rockstar, innit?

But Omega is a place of such paradoxes. ambiguous and occult. The direct lakeside road that the GPS lady bids you take is fairly single-lane, and Omega-branded signage along the route subtly discourages its use.

The Omega-preferred route – a double helix of gorgeous rural circumnavigation – skirts a large, Rorschach-shaped lake that you don’t really see, but that obscures your approach. By the time you’re this far in, your digital guide lies mute. She will sing no more until such time as you connect to Omega’s open Wi-Fi. Omega is no separatist hippie commune – far from it – but it feels remote in other ways as well. One of the largest, most ambitious and most legitimate holistic learning centers in the country, Omega’s mission is, to use a few aging buzzwords, integrative and complementary to the max. Their concerns may be holistic and humanistic, transformational and evolutionary, but they are optimized to interface with your thoroughly modern life, even as they offer retreat and respite therefrom and critical reflection thereupon.

The issue is this: There is no real casual way for locals to experience Omega. Omega is committed whole-hog to immersion and retreat. It’s just their mode. A ton of music happens here – intimate collaborative music with heavies like Bobby McFerrin and Jimmie Dale Gilmore, for example, or

action go down in these woods all the time – feminist, environmentalist, change through art, East meets West, science of the self – but you can’t just drop in to catch a hot speaker and have her sign your book.

Omega is not hiding from us. It has been there since its 1977 founding by Stephan Rechtschaffen, M.D. and Elizabeth Lesser, growing all the while (looks like they could use an airstrip or a chopper pad these days!). It books as teachers and session leaders none but the biggest names in their spheres of concern, from Deepak Chopra and Pema Chödrön to Gloria Steinem and Phil Jackson, Eckhart Tolle to Abby Wambach. Omega is visible locally and engaged with the community. It warmly welcomes non-resident guests (generally meaning locals) to its workshops, but the all-in, multi-day proposition of its programming has kept Omega, for many of us, a mystery. I’ve known about the place for something like ever. This was my first visit.

On the stunning, dewy summer Friday

morning that I arrived for my (rewarding and revelatory) singing workshop with Claude Stein, the Omega Institute was, to put it bluntly, slammed. The vast parking lot alongside a bank of well-kept tennis courts (sport being very much within Omega’s purview) and the Omega Center for Sustainable Living offered nary a sliver for me, and I was early. I had to wind my way to the back, off-lot, and slip into a wedge of grass next to an oil or water tank of some kind. The check-in line zagged far outside the door of the airy, modern Main Office, where the three or so staffed windows were deluged and additional intake personnel performed mobile freefloating check-in like emergency MASH triage. Spirits were high, however, and helpful seasonal staff was everywhere.

You shall know them by their tee-shirts.

But for the small issue of access roads, Omega is extremely well-equipped to handle a brisk three-season business.

Obviously, summer is a peak, but there was something more to this weekend

MUSIC

Freeing the Natural Singer class at Omega with Claude Stein

I

went to Omega to attend Claude Stein’s three-day “The Natural Singer” workshop. Had it been for any reason other than singing, I might have come equipped with some critical detachment, an analytical readiness to “read” this place and its people, its language, its demographics, its style and its values, like some rural smartass who had attended half a lecture on Roland Barthes 25 years ago. I am no hardened skeptic or serial debunker (who has the time or the authority for that?), but I might have gone hunting for a playful and unorthodox “take.” That’s my brand, you see.

But I went there to sing, and singing is my personal dragon: a problem with inflamed resonance in my daily life. When I arrived at Omega, I was there, straightup, in the role of seeker and supplicant. This was Omega, an institution in the direct line of descent of 20th-century psychology, especially the humanistic and integrative psychology of its second half. I fully expected that my traumas and histories would be invoked. I expected to tell my singing story, which is something I am good at and easy with – unlike, say, singing itself. Perhaps I had not yet begun to grasp that the “depth psychology” of Freud and his followers has fallen into great disfavor lately, with both self-help professionals and neuroscientists preferring a model of growth that is not bound by the clamoring of the occluded past.

A master singing teacher with extensive experience at the highest levels of the music industry, Claude Stein has been developing the Natural Singer workshop method for some 30 years in all kinds of settings, from holistic centers to corporate leadership programs. He makes it known early in the weekend that a) if everyone tells their complicated singing story (and everyone, he says, has one), we’re not going to have time for much else; and b) you know, bring it. Step up and sing right now.

This is the moment. Claude builds a profoundly supportive atmosphere with just a few well-tested ground rules, group singing and a bunch of winning charisma.

And then everyone goes out on the high wire alone, with witnesses. It’s awesome.

Catered to each individual, each song and each moment, Claude Stein’s teaching method is a marvel to watch and to receive: a study in fluid spontaneity, interpretive sensitivity and methodological depth. Claude spends much of his hands-on instruction time behind a digital piano, engaging in a largely sung call-and-response with students. Even the most self-doubting singers are made to feel comfortable and coaxed to grow their sound. Claude moves effortlessly among technical and physical considerations and the choices of interpretation, intention and expression from which no singer, no matter how inexperienced, is excluded.

“Songs welcome and elevate the whole range of human emotion”

I know that I arrived at the Natural Singer workshop ready and even eager to share my troubled life story as a singer, assuming that the past needs to be “worked through” in order to liberate the voice in the present.

Why practice saying or reinforcing a limitation, a limiting historical belief? Why practice that if you’re not doing it in a way that moves you forward? For me, it’s much faster to defy and triumph over the past right away. Do we need to go into the past?

Occasionally, yes; but only as a leverage point. If I can get the shy person to stand on a chair and confidently sing, defying the critic, defying the history, you can have a reframed singing experience. My focus is on building a profound human connection amongst participants and helping people to sing better, whether it is an emotional, physical or musical thing. I pass out index cards and say, “What would you like to get from this?” I don’t ask, “Where have you been hurt? What’s your issue?”

crush. I could just tell. After I overheard the third or fourth independent utterance of the name “Tara” passing between guests as they began to connect and converse, I knew I had to look into it. This Tara, of course, was Tara Brach, a beloved psychologist and proponent of meditation, an in-demand speaker and workshop leader and author of several popular books, including Radical Acceptance.

People would just smile when they said her name! Brach’s weekend-long workshop at Omega had drawn (I overheard) well over 500 participants, many of the nonresident kind. When I got lost in the woods during one of Omega’s long mealand-siesta breaks in programming on Saturday afternoon, the two Long Island women I met called Tara “a rockstar of meditation.”

Well, that’s a pretty darn quiet rockstar, innit? But Omega is a place of such paradoxes. The campus itself reads like a lovably wonky juxtaposition of a facilityrich summer camp (it was one, once) and alternative city, with some buildings best described as cinderblock-pile barracks, others, such as the lotus-shaped Ram Dass Library, architecturally novel and alienating in the best way.

oases abound: the meditation garden up a very long set of stone steps, lake access, neighborhoods of cottages. The main building, where I attended a brief and optional orientation before it was turned over to Tara’s capacious needs, presents as a kind of farmhouse from the exterior, but opens to a magnificently cool hall for plenary sessions and group meditation on a scale that really sets the cosmos humming.

The bus-yourself large and rustic cafeteria looks like it’s gonna be all bug juice and military-grade tacos, but in two identical buffet lines and numerous specialty stations with quarantined gluten, it serves up fare that is rigorously organic, locally sourced, accommodating to all dietary needs and creeds and actually, legitimately delicious.

The technique you often use of singing to and with students, navigating the expressive challenges and opportunities of a particular song and of the singer in that moment – it’s pretty remarkable to watch and experience.

Songs are vehicles for growth. I begin by offering short call-and-response affirmations with a great piano context, simple lyrics that align what’s in the heart and mind of the student. Once they are less self-conscious and focused on message and intention, I can let the songs do a lot of the work for me. The deeper work – the triumph over the past I was talking about – really comes from the songs: getting inside the lyrics and discovering and employing those intentions.

A master singing teacher with experience at the That method comes having highest levels of the music industry, Claude Stein a good understanding of has been developing the Natural Singer workshop songs themselves, being method for some 30 years in all kinds of settings. an arranger, a keen sense of when a word in the lyric really aligns with the musical content and the arrangement. It’s the essence of good songwriting. Also, I can spot what the singer maybe hasn’t tried before. I can say, “This person’s not painting with the blue paintbrush. Let me give them a little bit of that.” And it’s funny: The thing that you have not practiced much is very, very powerful. The person who is shy and all of a sudden you get her, you know, guns blazing – you can’t take your eyes off it. Songs welcome and elevate the whole range of human emotion, and we’re not limited by our personalities and sense of worthiness, which are shaped by the desire to succeed and the avoidance of embarrassment and failure.

When you lead workshops at places like Omega or in your home studio workshops, I assume your clients are kind of “all-in.” They either know your work already or are seekers/explorers by nature. Is it any different in corporate settings, where some of the clients might be questioning the return on investment?

The big difference is that we’re not there to sing better. The primary agenda is to be better aligned with the mission and values of the organization, and that is always a humanistic goal, no matter how much we think generating dollars is the primary motivator, or perhaps fear of failure. We’ll write leadership goals on cards. Some will say, “I want more authority,” some will say, “I want to be more approachable and empathetic.” I use the same exact coaching. I will work with a leader, let’s say, who has a reputation for standoffishness, and we’ll get him singing “Row, row, row your boat…step inside and row with me, let’s do this together.” And the audience explodes with genuine applause: “George, for the first time, I felt your heart, your caring.” We address gravitas, humor, authenticity and confidence-building alongside the technical skills of projection, eye contact, gesture and so on; but the music puts the sentient quality, the emotion, into it. Invariably, they love it. They genuinely become leaders more aligned with the humanistic and noble value statements that are literally engraved, chiseled into the walls.

Omega also sports a quaint and cool café on-site with a lot of boutique sweets. I found my needs and wishes so opulently met and surpassed at the mess hall that I wasn’t even tempted to try it.

The 2009 Omega Center for Sustainable Living building sits apart from the main campus – fittingly, in a way. Perhaps more than any other campus feature, this cutting-edge proof-of-concept sustainability center speaks to Omega’s energized commitment to social and environmental causes, directly challenging the notion of the “New Age” as a kind of privileged and withdrawing hedonism, the ecstasies of enlightenment. “New Age,” of course, is a term you will not hear at Omega. Even the S-word – spiritual – has largely passed from Omega’s discourse, leaving “holistic” as the sole rhetorical glove that fits. While retreat may be central to its mode of learning, a rushing embrace to meet the modern world in all its troubled complexity is a big part of Omega’s mission. It has distanced itself from much of the rhetoric of the New Age, preferring to emphasize a mantra of responsibility and connection. Growth – of facilities, of budget, of technology into online learning – is its imperative.

If there’s a corporate feel to Omega – and that’s a pretty coarse word for it – is that necessarily a bad thing, when your sustainability- and equality-based mission is so explicit and your portfolio of moneywhere-mouth-is achievement so thick and growing? I think not. Bring on the corporations of good!

Rip van Winkle II comes to the Rondout

A

perennially popular draw to the Rondout waterfront since 1986, the good ship Rip van Winkle has shown many passengers a good time, but has seen better days. The happy news from Hudson River Cruises is that the tour boat is about to be replaced by a newer and spiffier model, comfortingly dubbed the Rip van Winkle II. Built in 1980 by Edward T. Gamage in East Boothbay, Maine to be an oil industry shore well platform service vessel, the original Rip was purchased instead

by Charles Robertson, owner of the New England Steamboat lines, and converted to passenger service. An upper deck, lavatories, a snack bar and a liquid bar were added, and in 1982 she was put into service as the Yankee Clipper, carrying people across Long Island Sound from Haddam, Connecticut to Greenport and Sag Harbor. During this period, the vessel was also contracted by the US Navy to ferry sailors out of New London.

Hudson River Cruises brought the boat to Kingston in September 1985 and began running tours aboard the Rip the following year. Since then, thousands upon thousands of locals and visitors to the Valley have packed its decks for twohour guided loops enjoying the historic sights lining the banks between Kingston and the Vanderbilt Mansion in Hyde Park, not to mention music-fueled dance parties, cruise-and-dinner packages, sunset cruises, murder mystery parties, fall foliage and fireworks-viewing excursions.

The recently refurbished Rip van Winkle II, set to take over her touring duties this month, is described by Hudson River Cruises general manager Kevin Buckel as “an upgrade in every way from the Rip van Winkle, in terms of comfort and accommodations,” providing “a more authentic riverboat experience.” The new Rip has three decks instead of two, accommodating 400 passengers instead of 300, with the Main Salon on the lower deck offering air conditioning for the first time.

Hudson River Cruises offers daily sightseeing cruises at 2:30 p.m. every weekday and at 11:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. on weekends, from May through October. Themed and music cruises will also continue to be offered throughout the season – the Slam Allen Band will play live on the tour embarking at 7 p.m. on Friday, October 11, for example – and like its predecessor, the Rip van Winkle II will be available for private events such as weddings, rehearsal dinners, reunions and social gatherings. The vessel departs from the Rondout Creek on the Strand at the foot of Broadway in Kingston’s marina district, right next door to the Hudson River Maritime Museum.

International Observe the Moon Night: It can be unforgettable

O

ctober 5, is “Observe the Moon Night” all over the world. They picked the best possible time to do it: This time of year offers the clearest weather in many places, including our own area, and the Moon’s best lighting happens on Saturday.

Contrary to what’s popularly believed, the Full Moon is not a good target. Sunlight is then shining straight down on its surface, erasing all shadows and making craters and mountains impossible to see. The opposite is true this weekend. Saturday at nightfall, around 7:30 p.m., the First Quarter Moon is nicely up. By chance, it floats right next to the planet Saturn. What a combination!

There’s even a backup plan in case of clouds. Saturn and the Moon will be just as nice one night earlier and for several nights later, though they won’t be next to each other any other evening. If you have any kind of telescope, this weekend is the time to drag it out. As for me, I’d like to share the opening of my new second observatory by inviting former students to come by that night at 7:30 p.m. If you’re free, and you have ever taken my Advanced Class between the years 1976 and 1998 (which was also called the Observing Class), get a quick reservation by writing me at skymanbob@aol.com. This Moon-and-Saturn exploration with the new Takahashi five-inch refractor is free, no charge, and you can even bring a guest.

But space is limited. This is a much smaller building than the old observatory.

If you have your own telescope, the lunar shadowing will be simply ideal from this Friday through next Wednesday, October 9. Here’s a checklist: First look for the prominent mountain chain in the middle of the Moon, right where the shadow line between day and night is running. These are the lunar Apennines, the Moon’s most

SNL mocks Upstate NY apple farms

Here in the Hudson Valley, we do a fair bit of complaining about tourists – the traffic, the garbage (https://bit.ly/2okVQbH), the condescension (https://bit.ly/2mFZXPd).

So perhaps we had this coming.

A sketch in the premiere episode of this season’s Saturday Night Live (https://bit. ly/2oN3RXo) took aim at our region’s most well-known autumnal activity for day-trippers: pick-your-own apples. The format is a television commercial hosted by two sisters (Aidy Bryant and Kate McKinnon), the owners of “Chickham’s Apple Farm,” which is “located in the part of New York State that has confederate flags (https://hudsonvalleyone.com/tag/ confederate-flag/)” where “for just $45, you can bring home $10 worth of apples.”

Host Woody Harrelson plays a stock backwoods-type character; a “troubled,” dentally-challenged farmhand who “came with the land.” He gets at least one good line: “Our apples are best in a very specific window of time, and whenever you come, you just missed it.” A sad petting zoo and deranged hayride also make an appearance.

The tone is gentler than the last time Upstate New York was skewered on national television in April, when The Simpsons (https://cnn.it/2np0pSz) made light of opiate addiction and economic

decline. (Although on that second point, SNL couldn’t help posing the question every city visitor has: how the heck do people make a living up here?)

photogenic mountain range. Watch how those mountains end abruptly at a beautiful crater. This is Eratosthenes.

By Tuesday night, the Moon’s shadow line, called the Terminator, has swept further along to expose the finest crater of them all: the famous Copernicus. Just follow the Apennine mountain chain past Eratosthenes and, bingo! There’s Copernicus, standing all by itself. You’ll smile at seeing its 58-mile-wide crater floor, gorgeous terraced interior walls that rise 11,000 feet high and three mountains right smack in the center. It’s all visible Wednesday and maybe even Tuesday night, even through the cheapest telescope.

It can even be observed through steadily braced binoculars.

Remember on Saturday night to point the telescope at Saturn, too. Those stunning rings are still wide open, meaning the opposite of edgewise. Whether they are merely nice or deserving of the adjective “mind-twisting” depends on whether the air is steady.

If there’s a little haze that night, so that stars are not twinkling, then the air may remain more or less the same temperature for the first mile or so upward from the surface. This produces steady telescopic images of the Moon and planets.

So, be an observer this weekend. It’s okay to read about the Moon and Saturn, but nothing else comes close to the actual hands-on, eyeballs-on, up-close experience.

The yardbirds Backyard chicken-keepers talk about why the love their flocks

by Erin Quinn

C

hickens can be the perfect starter livestock for a homestead—whether you have a tiny backyard plot or several acres of land to play with. They’re small, relatively easy to care for, provide eggs, meat and fertilizer, and some breeds help reduce your tick population.

And here’s the great thing about people who have backyard chickens, they love talking about chickens.

“I could go on and on about the benefits of having hens,” said Alan Feuer of New Paltz. He’s a retired civil service worker who, along with his wife Joan, decided to make raising chickens one of their post-retirement projects.

“My wife’s grandfather always had chickens at his home in Gardiner when she was growing up and she remembered them with such fondness and always wanted to have some on our property,” he said.

The two began researching the how-tos of raising chickens via websites, books, articles and eventually searching out pullet sellers on Craig’s List. “There’s so much helpful information out there and we started going to chicken swaps on these small farms all over the place,” he said. “We went to Southern Connecticut, to Ashokan, Poughkeepsie and we met so many nice people and learned a lot and made a real adventure out of it.”

It was a learning process.

“The first batch of chicks that we bought had two roosters in the bunch. I wanted to make a bumper sticker that says ‘Rooster’s Happen,’” said Feuer. “There are subtle differences but even the expert eye can have a difficult time distinguishing a young rooster from a chick.”

Asked when they realized they had roosters, his wife Joan said in the background “when they start with the cock-a-doodle-doo at 5 a.m. you know you have a rooster!”

They’re able to let the chickens out during the day to roam and forage in a 140-squarefoot area and then they lock them into their henhouse at night. “We want to provide them with plenty of space to move around,” said Alan.

Eggs are arguably the most enjoyable biproduct of having chickens. “My son eats seven to eight eggs every morning,” said Katerina Dobosh who lives on an acre and a half near Gardiner with her son and husband, two dogs, five roosters, exotic birds and 38 chickens.

“We don’t go out to eat and so I use the eggs in all of our cooking, plus my husband works in Manhattan where my mother-in-law lives and he always brings her eggs for the family when he’s down there and we always share our eggs with friends and neighbors.” Although it our less sentimental ancestors had no qualms about eating their chickens after their egglaying days were over, today’s breed of backyard farmer rarely does so. “We don’t eat them,” said Dobosh. “They have names!”

Feuer concurred.

“We love eggs, and we still get almost a dozen eggs a week, but we don’t eat our hens. They have names and they’ve become our pets over time. Pets with benefits, I like to say! We’ve even convalesced them in our home when they’ve had illness. Our oldest is named Clementine and she’s ten years old. She’s the leader of the pack.

She’s the alpha hen because there’s no roosters.”

Feuer noted that while there is ample literature and resources on how to raise chicks and harvest eggs and poultry that there is “almost no

Bill Wheeler with his flock

literature on how to care for hens once they’re reproduction ends which is a shame because they can live six to ten years.”

Both Dobosh and Feuer find the various types of chicken breeds to be part of the allure as well.

“We wanted heirloom chickens and we have Rhode Island Reds, Bard Plymouth Rock, Silver Laced and Gold Laced. The Bard Rock is black and white with a plaid pattern and the Silver Laced has almost a herringbone tweed

motif. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re beautiful and we found them all from individual breeders. But we really wanted chickens that were old fashioned, good layers, not to small so that they were hearty for the northeast winters.â&#x20AC;?

Dobosh said that they too have a wide array of chicken breeds, as well as Guinea hens. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have Leghorns, Rhode Island Red, Easter Eggers, which lay blue eggs, and Bantam chickens,â&#x20AC;? to name just a few. She said that she likes her eggs to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;all different colors.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so cool to get fresh, organic eggs from your own backyard,â&#x20AC;? said Peter Rein of High-

land, who along with his wife began raising chickens a year ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just walked into Tractor Supply and saw these cute little chicks and said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;why not?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? recalled Rein. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a dog and a cat so whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a few chicks?â&#x20AC;? Like the Feuers, the Reins started to go to websites and chicken-friendly Facebook groups as well as Craigâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s List to ďŹ nd out more about how to raise and care for chicks and how to house them and protect them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We turned a big shed into our hen house and then got this old dog kennel and repurposed that as an area that they can run around in,â&#x20AC;? he

said, noting that despite their best efforts, they have still lost chickens to predators. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had some taken by racoons and others by hawks.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to reinforce this cage with more chicken wire. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how they get in!â&#x20AC;?

Feuer agreed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The thing thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the hardest about having chickens is really protecting them from predators,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lost two to predators over the years. Hawks. So, we try not to leave them outside alone for long.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a big family of Hawks about 200 yards west of our property,â&#x20AC;? said Dobosh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is what it is.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lost some to hawks and we try and keep them protected butâ&#x20AC;ŚI was taught to respect nature and certainly birds of prey and sometimes thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just what happens. You lose a chicken.â&#x20AC;?

Dobosh says that her roosters will start a ruckus when the hawks are ďŹ&#x201A;ying above which helps warn the hens of their impending foe.

Besides taking in â&#x20AC;&#x153;rescue roostersâ&#x20AC;? who were slated for the chopping block because of their early morning antics, Katerina also took in an older black Labrador from a family that did not want him anymore and â&#x20AC;&#x153;he is like the chicken

dog. He guards them!â&#x20AC;? she said, describing how the lab actually broke up an attack by a hawk on the henhouse by knocking the hawk over on its side and pulling the chicken away without harming any of them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was amazing to see.

How he could determine which was the hawk and which was the chicken in all of that fray!â&#x20AC;?

Besides the fun of learning how to raise chickens and preparing the coop, ďŹ nding ways of keeping predators at bay, fresh eggs hot out of the henhouse and swapping funny fowl stories with fellow chicken owners, there is another reason to keep chickensâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;ticks. With the steady increase of tickborne diseases like Lyme and Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and the ever-growing population of tickinfested deer in rural and urban areas in Ulster County, chickens are one of the natural ways to help reduce the amount of ticks on oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s property. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The primary reason we decided to get chickens was because of ticks,â&#x20AC;? said Bill Wheeler, who lives in the heart of the village of New Paltz where the government passed a controversial law several years ago permitting residents to house chickens on as long as they met certain standards. Wheeler is also a village trustee,

HUDSON VALLEY REAL ESTATE GUIDE

OCT 3, 2019 volunteer firefighter, a husband and father of three children that he wants to help protect from Lyme, which Wheeler himself has contracted twice. “I wanted to protect my wife, my kids, my dog from the ticks,” he said, “and chickens seemed a great way to go about it.”

Dobosh, also the owner of European Landscaping, concurred with Wheeler. “When we first bought our property, it was filled with ticks,” she said.

“After a year of raising chickens, there were still ticks falling everywhere and getting on the dogs and my family. After two years, a little better, but not much. After three years of having chickens, no ticks! Zero.”

Wheeler said that he thought about Guinea hens like Dobosh but because he lives in the village with neighbors on every side, he decided not to go with that species. “They are great for foraging for ticks but they’re also very noisy and like to be warm and lie down on pavement which where we live means lying down in the street,” said Wheeler.

While all admit that cleaning the coops is not the most charming of tasks, they are quick to talk about how great chicken manure is as fertilizer.

Wheeler also talks about the benefits of having his children involved in the raising and caring of the hens. “I think it’s important for children to learn to care for things. The chickens are going to need to be fed, their coops cleaned and you have to make sure that they’re closed up at night.” Even with that the Wheelers have lost a hen to racoon and another to a fox or coyote.

The chicken-raising gene seems to be heritable. One of his daughters, Kyra, became so interested in the hens that she joined the local Ulster County 4-H club and has won some ribbons at the fair with their hens.

With his parents out working most of the day,

16-year-old Philip Dobosh is the one mostly in charge of their large henhouse. “He takes care of the chickens and he’s great at it,” said Katerina.

“Some of the chickens are so beautiful,” said Rein. “We have this fluffy one with all white feathers that has a hint of blue in them.

Gorgeous. And it’s just fun having a little homestead.

There’s nothing like watching chickens for an hour to reduce your stress. They’re very calming.”

Feuer agreed.

“You can have all of the stress in the world and in one instant you feel it evaporate when you just hand-feed some chickens and hear their happy clucking sounds.

It sounds strange, but it’s so true.”

‘You can have all of the stress in the world and in one instant you feel it evaporate when you just hand-feed some chickens and hear their happy clucking sounds. It sounds strange, but it’s so true.’

hen something in my house breaks, the first decision to make is: Should I try to fix it myself or hire a professional? It’s not just that I can save money. Fixing something myself is extremely gratifying.

Like most girls growing up in the 1960s, I did not pester my father to teach me carpentry.

When he built a finished room (“the den”) in the basement, it was my younger brother who learned how to put up paneling and lay carpet.

Despite this poverty of education, I have, over the years, acquired both skills and tools, and I’m (usually) not afraid to use them.

I can hammer nails. I can drill holes. I can saw wood. I can turn a screwdriver. Anything else I need to know I can look up on the Internet. Whether I’ll be able to put that information to use is another question. But I have had a number of successes.

When my husband and I first moved into our house, we had the bathroom redone to replace the shower with a bathtub, that essential of civilized life. Obviously, we weren’t going to do the renovation ourselves. My husband has carpal tunnel syndrome and won’t even operate a can opener. Plumbing is, to me, one

of the most arcane house systems, right up there with electrical wiring. After the plumber and builder were done and paid, one of them promised to return to put on the final touch — a threshold covering the gap between the hallway carpet and the bathroom’s new vinyl floor covering. Multiple phone calls failed to summon either of the pros, so I installed it myself. The hardware store had a nice strip of wood, beveled on both sides, expressly for creating a graceful transition between two rooms. I just had to cut it to the right length, drill two holes in the floor, and then screw down the strip of wood. And behold, a threshold!

This victory encouraged me to take on other adventures. When a stair leading to the deck collapsed, I studied the other steps to see how they were supported and thereby figured out I could just screw in a block of wood under the step. After that, installing a towel rack on the bathroom door was a piece of cake.

Reattaching a loose toilet roll holder was a bit more challenging. It came down from the wall with wall anchors attached — those are the things that hold something up on drywall when there’s no wooden stud available to screw into. These particular wall anchors were the metal kind that spring open like wings after they’re thrust behind

It’s important to consider whether doing-it-yourself will involve danger to humans or property.

the sheetrock. But once I detached them from the roll holder, I forgot which way they had been oriented. The Youtube video left out important information, like which way to turn the anchor when you insert it into the wall. Trial and error enabled me to figure it out. The whole process took me two hours and left the wall a mess, which I was able to address with a bit of spackle and paint.

Sometimes the learning process is frustrating and time-consuming, but what a rush you get when it works in the end!

Of course, there have been times I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fix the problem myself. The SUDS code that appeared intermittently on my washing machine, for instance, forcing me to run the machine twice through its cycle. The Maytag manual was online, and I got as far as removing the cover of the machine, but I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t for the life of me figure out how to expose the drain pump. I prudently called for service on that one.

In the summer heat, a board on the deck warped because one end of the plank hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been attached properly, and I kept stubbing my toe on the board. I called the guy who had built the deck, who said flipping over the board and reattaching it would work.

I mulled over doing it myself, but without a screw gun to extract the 20 screws and then put them back in, it would have taken me half a day. The generous fellow showed up one afternoon and did it in 20 minutes without charging me.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to consider whether doingit-yourself will involve danger to humans or property. So far, I have erred on the side of caution, although I did almost destroy the deck when I cut down the willow tree. The tree was an inch and a half in diameter, not terribly tall, and I did my best to make it fall

away from the house, but something went wrong. The top branches brushed the deck railing and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do any damage. However, the error was unnerving. Next time Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do some research before trying to cut down a tree. Especially if Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m using a handsaw and a hatchet. Once the tree was draped over the banks of the stream, I had to borrow a chainsaw to cut it up, and boy, was that fun!

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll conclude with my biggest triumph â&#x20AC;&#x201D; replacing 50 feet of shingles along the top of my roof. Rotted bits of shingle came down with the melting snow this spring, but inspection showed they were all from the ridgeline; the rest of the roof was ďŹ ne. The Internet convinced me I could replace the shingles myself. The salesman at Home Depot showed me how to trim the sides with a boxcutter before installation. He said the hardest part was getting the heavy shingles up to the roof. After the trimming, I enlisted the help of my friend Becca, who loaded the shingles, eight at a time, into a series of cloth bags and handed them up to me on the ladder. (Problem-solving is often enjoyable.)

Once I started nailing the shingles down, I discovered I had trimmed them incorrectlyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; too little, luckily, rather than too much. So the job took me longer than it shouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve, but I got the whole 50 feet done in one day.

Even though the shingles arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite as precisely straight as the ones over the garage, my brother, who used to be a roofer, looked at my photo and said I had done a fine job.

I was so proud.
