BOOKS

In a contrary motion that J. S. Bach likely would have appreciated, Like Falling through a Cloud moves from an ethereal, poetic confusion in its earliest pages toward an all-toogrounded diagnostic clarity as the reality sinks in and the author advances, often with great reluctance, from consultation to consultation as the unnamable is named.

Taking note Acclaimed flutist Eugenia Zukerman writes about her journey with Alzheimer’s disease

L

ike Falling through a Cloud describes the onset and progress of Alzheimer’s disease in a formidable and well-exercised mind: the one belonging to the decorated classical flutist, former arts correspondent for CBS Sunday Morning and Ancramdale resident Eugenia Zukerman. While the book accumulated in real time – over the months that Zukerman endured the recognition of symptoms, a diagnosis and some hopeful therapy – its texture and design are far more literary-minded than a daily journal. Zukerman tells the story in poetry, predominantly – a skittering, short-line, incessantly rhymed and musical free verse that recalls many of the English language’s most musical poets: the Renaissance versifier John Skelton, Theodore Geisel, Ogden Nash and Gerard Manley Hopkins, whom Zukerman references.

In a contrary motion that J. S. Bach likely would have appreciated, Like Falling through a Cloud moves from an ethereal, poetic confusion in its earliest pages toward an all-too-grounded diagnostic clarity as the reality sinks in and the author advances, often with great reluctance, from consultation to consultation as the unnamable is named.

The first few pages earnestly attempt to render the experience, the unmoored disorientation, the loss of language and coordinates, in a kind of concrete poetry.

Gradually, the work becomes more prosaic, mostly because others – spouse, adult daughters, medical and psychiatric professionals – enter the frame with their concerns and influence.

Like Falling through a Cloud’s narrative is chronological but permissive, allowing frequent digressions and mode shifts, treks into symbolically rich dreams and memories and lyrical evocations of the author’s headspace. One imagines that its fractalized pastiche of event, language, interaction and disrupted memory is a

pretty keen approximation of the medical condition it describes. It certainly rings true to my own experience of seeing my musician father through the stages of his disease.

Acceptance is a rocky road, and in many episodes, Zukerman freely depicts herself as being ornery about it, resisting interventions, registering offense that she – a highly accomplished musician, writer and arts administrator – is increasingly perceived as “incompetent,” keeping many of her cognitive struggles between herself and her journal. Over time, she develops adaptive strategies. A few, but only a few, come from the cognitive behavioral

therapy she is prescribed (because her anxiety, it is posited, exacerbates her disorientation). More effective strategies come from her lifelong passions: family, writing and music, especially the music of the great master of neural networks, J. S. Bach. (It was when my father finally stopped listening to Bach incessantly that I knew we had crossed into the final stage.)

In the book’s window of time, Zukerman’s 103-year-old mother passes away; Eugenia performs at the Kennedy Center; she moves upstate, all while navigating and learning to accept the uncertain future.

“It kept me in my family.

I was writing about them, trying to remember them.”

I’d like to tell that you there is a happy ending, but would you believe me? The author and her husband, Dick Novik, point out to me in our chat that promising treatments and even cures for Alzheimer’s are oft-touted and quite “in the news,” but actual response rates are bleak. “There will be no cure,” the 75-year-old Eugenia Zukerman told me with a calm finality, “in my lifetime.”

Like Falling through a Cloud will stand, however, not only as a uniquely lyrical memoir (her genre description, not mine), but also as a valuable subjective and anecdotal contribution to the clinical literature. When your book blurbs are

heartfelt, substantive and written by the likes of Yo-Yo Ma, Erica Jong, Judy Collins, deans of major medical programs and the legendary pianist Yefim Bronfman, there is a very good chance that your memoir is going to fall into all the right hands – the hands that most need to hear it.

It is striking and kind of paradoxical that this intensely personal, diaristic narrative is written mostly in playful, musical verse.

I’ve always loved poetry and started writing it as a very young kid. I went to Barnard College and was playing flute at the same time. After two years, I went to Juilliard. So, I had a sort of dual personality: music and writing. I never set out to write anything about my illness.

My daughters were constantly saying, “Something is wrong with you. We think you need to be tested.� And I would say, “Tested for what?� Finally, I was pretty much dragged to the hospital and diagnosed. Then my daughter and I took the subway back downtown, laughing the whole way, and I went into my apartment, sat down at my desk, stared at the wall, and for whatever reason, I took out a pencil and paper and started writing. It felt like the right way to absorb what had just happened.

I didn’t tell anyone about this, but after about 25 pages, I showed my younger daughter what I was doing. I said, “I don’t know what this is,� and she said, “Mom, this is really wonderful. Just keep doing it.� It was purging, in a sense. It kept me in my family. I was writing about them, trying to remember them. I had a sense of urgency. I never felt frightened about it. I found humor in it, and I just kept going.

SHOW

UPAC TO HOST JOSH GATES LIVE: AN EVENING OF LEGENDS, MYSTERIES & TALES OF ADVENTURE

I

f Indiana Jones had been born a couple of generations later, into the age of reality TV, he might well have ended up being Josh Gates. Gates’ initial fame came as one of the hosts of the Ghost Hunters series, but the paranormal wasn’t his original area of interest. Trained as a SCUBA diver and photographer, he got involved in the late ’90s with the University of Maryland’s archaeological excavations of the submerged port of Caesarea Maritima in Israel. Since then he has traveled the world from the Himalayas to Antarctica, climbing Aconcagua and Kilimanjaro, seeking answers to popular mysteries such as the existence of the yeti.

His series Destination Truth ran on the SyFy Channel from 2007 to 2012, and he’s currently the host/executive producer of Expedition Unknown on the Discovery Channel and Legendary Locations on Travel Channel.

It’s a pretty safe bet that someone who can make a good living as a professional adventurer and is also comfortable in front of a camera puts on a pretty entertaining stage show. The current tour of Josh Gates Live: An Evening of Legends, Mysteries and Tales of Adventure makes a stop in the wilds of Midtown Kingston on Friday, November 15, with a performance beginning at 8 p.m. at the Ulster Performing Arts Center. Tickets cost $37, $47 and $97 (the premium price includes seating in the first ten rows plus a meet-and-greet), with a $5 discount for Bardavon members. They can be purchased in person at the Bardavon box office at 35 Market Street in Poughkeepsie, (845) 473-2072; at the UPAC box office at 601 Broadway in Kingston, (845) 339-6088; or via Ticketmaster at (800) 745-3000.

How did events turn toward publication?

When I had finished it, I showed it to a few people. Having had four wellreceived novels to my credit, I went back to those big-name publishers and thought, “Maybe they’ll like it.� They said to me, “It is really lovely, but we don’t know what this is; people aren’t interested in poetry anymore, blah blah blah.� Then my friend the actress and singer Mary Beth Peil read it and asked if she could share it with a

THE

DORSKY

writer friend, and this led finally to my publisher, East End Press, who wanted to put it out immediately.

You wrote this book very much real-time, in the midst of the crises it describes. Did you think much about which kinds of episodes would take which literary form – poetry or prose – or was it spontaneous, whatever happened happened?

TONALISM: PATHWAY FROM THE HUDSON RIVER SCHOOL TO MODERN ART Curated by Karen Quinn

Whatever happened happened. It was a way of staying in the moment. Having it in my head and putting it on paper gave me a sense of reality.

I know it is still early in the book’s process, but, pre-publication, has it received much attention from the medical community as a contribution to the experiential literature on dementia and Alzheimer’s?

Interestingly, Dr. Herbert Pardes, chairman emeritus of New YorkPresbyterian Hospital, was given the book and he loved it. It gave me a big boost.

Dick Novik: If I might add, the Alzheimer’s Association has picked this up in a big way and has been honoring Eugenia for the book. Eugenia will be speaking in front of all the association’s New York staff in a couple of weeks. The book is becoming very important in that community, for obvious reasons. They want people to live every day, to not go into a corner and hide with this disease.

You speak about how the writing of the book kept you tethered to your life in some ways. The book also suggests numerous times that playing and listening to music serves a similar purpose.

Absolutely. Bach is in my dreams all the time. I think he is the God for so many of us. So many other composers, too.

Doctors feel very strongly that playing an instrument is incredibly helpful. There are a lot of studies about that going on right now. It helps with memory.

On Sunday, November 10, Eugenia Zukerman will read from Like Falling through a Cloud at Hudson Hall at the Hudson Opera House and participate in a question-and-answer session with the director and CEO of the Northeastern New York Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association, Elizabeth Smith-Bovin.

Zukerman will also be giving a reading at Oblong Books in Rhinebeck on Thursday, November 21 at 8 p.m. Like Falling through a Cloud went on sale on November 5. – John Burdick Eugenia Zukerman readings Sunday, Nov. 10, 3 p.m.

NIGHT SKY

Monday’s transit of Mercury The year’s biggest sky event?

I

f you know any backyard astronomers, you’ve heard them rant and rave about the upcoming transit of Mercury on November 11. It is purportedly the biggest celestial event of the year. It’s when the smallest, speediest planet partially eclipses the Sun. And it’s kind of rare. The next won’t occur until November 2032.

Honestly, I’m not at all sure this will pan out for the vast majority of people.

So let’s look at the positives and negatives of Monday’s transit.

First, the positives: It’s cool that a planet can partially eclipse the Sun. And the whole concept is understandable. In our modern era of esoteric celestial happenings, we hear words like “exoplanets” and “dark energy,” yet here we have an event whose only terms are planet and Sun. A planet passes in front of the Sun: easy. Who doesn’t like easy?

Moreover, this will be visible from our neck of the woods. It lasts over seven hours, with the middle of the transit happening at around 10:30 a.m., when the Sun isn’t too low.

Negatives: you can’t look at the Sun – at least, not if you value your eyesight. So you need eye protection. But even that is not enough. Unlike the transits of Venus in 2004 and 2012, a Mercury transit cannot be seen without a telescope. And it can’t be an ordinary telescope; it has to be equipped with a safe solar filter. Do you own such a

The Mid-Hudson Astronomy Association will set up the correct instruments.

Ashokan Center to host HV Farm Hub’s “Perspectives on Farming with Nature” How can a working farm coexist in a mutually supportive way with nature, rather than competing with it or becoming a separate enclave of things growing artificially? What can farms offer to biodiversity conservation efforts and what might wild organisms provide in terms of “services” to the production of crops? That’s the broad theme of “Perspectives on Farming with Nature,” a half-day symposium to be hosted by the Hawthorne Valley Farmscape Ecology Program and the Hudson Valley Farm Hub at the Ashokan Center on Saturday, November 16.

Managing farms with biodiversity and the health of ecosystems in mind will require a variety of perspectives and approaches. Research partners working with the Applied Farmscape Ecology Team will share the fruits of their experiences on such subjects as “OnFarm Native Meadow Establishment,” “Beneficial Insects/Insect Biodiversity,” “Water Quality in Relation to Land Use,” “On-Farm Soil Microbiology,” “Grassland Bird Conservation,” “Biodiversity and OnFarm Habitats” and “Turtle Interactions with Agriculture.”

The day’s schedule includes a lunch featuring Farm Hub produce, trailhiking opportunities and screenings of three short documentaries in the “Hope on the Hudson 2” series by Jon Bowermaster of Oceans 8 Films. One is a premiere: Farmscape Ecology, about the Hudson Valley Farm Hub program. Also showing will be Growing with the Grain, concerning the small grains research trials conducted in collaboration between the Farm Hub and Cornell University and Cornell Cooperative Extension of Ulster County, and Seeds of Hope, which spotlights the initiative to preserve Native American culture and foodways through seed-saving, conducted at the Farm Hub in partnership with the Akwesasne Mohawk Tribe of northern New York and Seedshed.

thing? I didn’t think so.

Unless you have a friend who has one, and he’s off on Veterans’ Day on Monday, your best bet is to phone your local astronomy club. Around here, the Mid-Hudson Astronomy Association will set up the correct instruments.

As for spectacle, this is a bit esoteric. Mercury is only half the size of Venus, but twice as distant. So it will look like a dot in the center of the Sun at 10:30 a.m. Then it will slowly change position during the transit, continuing until late afternoon.

Mercury transits have an interesting pattern. They usually happen in November, but occasionally in May, and in no other month. On average, there are 13 Mercury transits per century. This one is a bit unusual because Mercury will cross the Sun’s face not near its edge, but centrally.

A good option is to go on Slooh.com, where I’ll be narrating some of it, and where we will have ideal equipment set up.

Happy Transit!

“Throughout her career, the work that Pelin Tan calls ‘action research’ has demonstrated that the borders between scholarship, activism and creation can and must be transgressed if we want to pursue justice in this world. In this way, Pelin is an artist very much in the spirit of Keith Haring,” said Thomas Keenan, director of Bard’s Human Rights Project. Tan’s fellowship appointment coincides with the Keith Haring Foundation’s renewal of the five-year grant supporting the fellowship: an annual award for a scholar, activist or artist to teach and conduct research at CCS Bard and the Human Rights Project at Bard College.

Doctorow Center hosts sevdah concert with Merima Kljuco and Miroslav Tadic on Saturday

T

he word “melancholy” literally translates as “black bile,” one of the “four humors” that were thought from Classical Greek to medieval times to determine both human health and disposition. Unlike the other three humors – blood, phlegm and yellow bile – black bile isn’t really a thing, medically speaking, but it was believed to have been secreted by the spleen and to make people depressed. Another term that also means “black bile” is the Turkish word sevda, used nowadays to describe a style of folksong traditional to Bosnia and Herzegovina, known as sevdah music or sevdalinka. It’s quite appropriate, since sevdah is known for its melancholy-sounding minor modes and its lyrical themes of unfulfilled romantic longing. In world-music circles it’s also sometimes referred to as “Bosnian blues.”

On Saturday evening at the Catskill Mountain Foundation’s Doctorow Center for the Arts in Hunter, two Bosnian virtuosi, accordionist Merima Kljuco and guitarist Miroslav Tadic, will perform a concert program featuring both sevdah and Balkanstyled arrangements of classical pieces by Erik Satie, Manuel de Falla and Slovenian composer Davorin Jenko. You’ll also hear some Serbian dance music, a bit of flamenco and tango and Romani tunes as well.

The show starts at 8 p.m. on November 9. Tickets purchased in advance, by calling (518) 263-2063 or visiting www. catskillmtn.org, cost $25 general admission, $20 for seniors and $7 for students. Tickets will also be available at the door for $30 general, $25 seniors, $7 students.

An integral part of the insiders’ New York jazz scene and owner of both Smalls and Mezzrow, two hip clubs, Wilner will be presenting a “piano salon.” The native New Yorker has long been in the thick of the action in the city that is arguably the world’s capital of jazz. Child of a Kabbalistic mystic and a well-regarded Abstract Expressionist painter, Wilner entered the first class of the now legendary New School for Social Research’s Jazz and Contemporary Music Program, befriending there many of today’s most prominent players, such as Brad Mehldau, Larry Goldings, Chris Potter, Jorge Rossi and the late Roy Hargrove. An active player and curator, Wilner has released three sessions as leader. Tickets cost $25.

On Friday, November 15, Los Doggies team up with another wildly prolific and unclassifiable band, the Queens indie-rock duo Frog (shown above). Frog’s music straddles lo-fi intimacy and authentic pop grandeur, a heckling absurdism and a genuine heartbreak pathos that cuts deeper because of the comedy that surrounds it. They are exceptional songwriters on many levels, and they have put up some Spotify numbers that are honestly rather astonishing, with some of their elusive, stormy art songs approaching a million spins. It’s deserved. I’ll be there. Cover costs $5.

Mary Hood, Katie Jones, Ella Ray Kondrat play BSP on Nov. 14

BSP features three premier regional singer/songwriters on Thursday, November 14 when Mary Hood (shown above), Katie Jones and Ella Ray Kondrat team up for an evening of luminous, intimate and daring songcraft. Hood plays a surreal, imaginative lo-fi folk music in the Kimya Dawson tradition, but different. Jones’ music is a genuinely polished and formalist country/rock of sorts. Her 2019 record Take Care of My Love was coproduced by Maybird’s Adam Netsky.

Kondrat’s unique and polyglot globalfolk style is showcased on her excellent new release Hum to Your Heart.

This is one of those weeknight shows you’d rather not miss if you are at all interested in What Comes Next.

This was a movie long overdue to be made. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what makes it such an unhappy task to report that, despite several ďŹ ne performances and one outstanding characterization on the part of star Cynthia Erivo, Harriet is a pretty tepid moviegoing experience.

s Hollywood, much too belatedly, fills in the gaps in the average Americanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s knowledge of black history, film critics and other viewers are increasingly faced with a dilemma: We no longer have to feel obligated to kvell over every single new release that sheds light on past horrors or celebrates undersung heroes. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still much better that such movies are coming out than not, but we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to love them merely for existing. We can hold them to higher standards of cinematic art. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a luxury of sorts. But we also donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to generate the sort of nitpicky pushback that will discourage the production of more such films, or make being jaded about good-for-you historical epics a hallmark of hipsterism.

risks, not fewer, when it comes to gauging audiencesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; intelligence and hunger for historically informative storytelling.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all by way of a preamble to the admission that I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t love Kasi Lemmonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Harriet nearly as much as I wanted to. Yes, your kids should see this movie in middle school or high school Social Studies class. But will it satisfy grownups who have already taken in much-edgier movies that have been made about slavery in America in recent years, such as Nate Parkerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2016 film about Nat Turnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rebellion, Birth of a Nation, or Steve McQueenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s superb 12 Years a Slave (2013)? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m thinking maybe not.

Harriet Tubman (1822-1913), the most renowned of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;conductorsâ&#x20AC;? on the Underground Railroad guiding escaped slaves to freedom in the North in the 19th century, is a shining star in the firmament of American heroes. There has been a TV mini-series about her, but until now, never a big-budget feature film. This was a movie long overdue to be made. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what makes it such an unhappy task to report

that, despite several fine performances and one outstanding characterization on the part of star Cynthia Erivo, Harriet is a pretty tepid moviegoing experience.

ROSENDALE THEATRE SCREENS FIDDLER: MIRACLE OF MIRACLES

T

he Rosendale Theatre presents a screening of Fiddler: Miracle of Miracles on November 12 and 13. Director Max Lewkowicz explores the unlikely and enduring success of the beloved Broadway musical Fiddler on the Roof.

Considered a bad idea or at least a dark horse in its own time, Fiddler on the Roof went on to win nine Tonys and to inspire a film version and countless revivals since its premiere in 1964. Fiddler lyricist Sheldon Harnick, LinManuel Miranda, Joel Grey and many others appear in Lewkowicz’s well-received documentary.

Fiddler: Miracle of Miracles, Tuesday/Wednesday, Nov. 12/13, 7:15 p.m., Rosendale Theatre, 408 Main St. (Rt. 213), Rosendale, (845) 658-8989, www.rosendaletheatre.org

is stagey and often awkward. For instance, in a scene on the streets of Philadelphia where someone loudly announces the passage of the Fugitive Slave Act, the assembled white citizenry instantly erupts into a frenzy of trying to catch the black folks standing in their midst. There’s no sense that they might’ve had to go home and think a bit about how they were going to deal with this news; the action is absurdly telescoped. Then there are all the scenes of Harriet running, running, running through the woods, tripping over a branch and running some more. And then more of the same with the escapees she’s leading: running, running, tripping.

It all feels kind of predictable, arbitrary, unoriginal in terms of what is brought to the viewer’s eye and ear.

By far the most compelling reason to see this film is the smoldering fury of Erivo’s performance. Though she won a Tony in 2016 for her portrayal of Celie in the Broadway stage production of The Color Purple, Erivo is less familiar to American audiences than in her native Britain. That will now change. She embodies Tubman with such steely conviction, righteous rage and intensity that she just about leaps off the screen – and she sings pretty damn well, too, alerting her charges that it’s time to fly the coop with a well-chosen gospel verse emanating from the shadows.

Many of the supporting actors also deliver excellent work, notably Leslie Odom, Jr. (Hamilton’s original Aaron Burr) as the abolitionist William Still; Janelle Monáe as boardinghouse proprietor Marie Buchanon; Clarke Peters as Ben Ross, Harriet’s freedman father; Henry Hunter Hall as Walter, a cynical young black slavehunter who falls under Harriet’s spell; Vondie Curtis-Hall as Reverend Samuel Green, whose church is a hiding place for escaped slaves; and Tim Guinee as Thomas Garrett, a Quaker who helps them cross the border safely into Pennsylvania. Though it’s a stock villain we’ve seen before, Joe Alwyn is quite

chilling as Gideon Brodess, fictionalized scion of the family who own Harriet, her mother and siblings; nursed back to health from a life-threatening illness as a child by Tubman, he has a complicated codependency relationship with her that fuels his determination to recapture her after she flees. The weakest link in the cast is Jennifer Nettles, who plays Gideon’s mother Eliza with the sort of Southernbelle-with-the-vapors melodrama that you thought went out with Gone with the Wind.

John Toll brings his well-honed cinematographic expertise to the film, visually rescuing some passages that clunk along as narrative. Less successful is Terence Blanchard’s soupy score, which lays on the saccharine moral uplift with a heavy hand.

Verdict: Go read a book about Harriet Tubman and the Underground Railroad.

Then wait for Harriet to come to your TV screen, grab the remote and fast-forward through the scenes that don’t feature Cynthia Erivo front and center. Even then, it’ll be about a half-hour too long.

Acorn Hill Farm & Creamery in Kerhonkson offers cheesemaking workshop No one who turns to funny animal videos when they need a little cheering-up is likely to disagree with the premise that bouncing baby goats are terminally cute ( just don’t gaze too closely at their uncanny rectangular pupils if you don’t want to get weirded out). And Nubians are arguably the cutest of all goat breeds, with their delicately shaped ears, dainty muzzles and handsome brown-blackand-cream coats. Acorn Hill Farm & Creamery in Kerhonkson makes its signature cheeses from the milk of its own resident herd of Nubian goats, and you can meet the adorable ungulates in person as a bonus incentive if you sign up for one of Acorn Hill’s ongoing series of hands-on cheesemak-

Garlic-Planting Party at Clove Valley Community Farm The “clove” in the name of Clove Valley Community Farm in High Falls is a reference to a geographical feature: the rift that divides the northern end of the Shawangunk Ridge longitudinally into two distinct waves of conglomerate rock, as if the mountain spur had been cloven in half by some huge axe of the gods. Only by fortuitous coincidence does it conjure up the enticing aroma of individual sections of a head of garlic as they cook.

But as it happens, garlic is an important crop at the farm, and a GarlicPlanting Party, open to the wider community, is a festive annual event there each November.

Unlike most culinary plants, garlic needs to be put in the ground before it freezes over, not after. Heads of seed garlic are divided into individual cloves and inserted into the earth, where they will root themselves, absorb nutrients from the soil and begin to multiply into heads before the early springtime sun coaxes out green shoots to fatten up the bulbs via photosynthesis. They’ll be ready to harvest in May or June.

Clove Valley Community Farm’s tenth annual Garlic-Planting party happens on Sunday, November 10, with a sunset work party from 2 to 5 p.m. and a big feast served around the fire afterward.

Admission is free, and volunteers of all ages and abilities are welcome. Please carpool and pull around back to park, and don’t bring any unleashed dogs. The farm is located at 81 Clove Valley Road.

The Wreaths across America project began in 1992, when the Worcester Wreath Company in Harrington, Maine found itself with a surplus of 5,000 balsam fir Christmas wreaths.

Owner Morrill Worcester, whose visit as a 12-year-old to Arlington National Cemetery had made a deep impression, decided to donate the extra wreaths to a neglected older section of the cemetery. The project grew slowly until 2005, when a photo of the stones at Arlington, adorned with snow-covered wreaths, went viral on the Internet, and suddenly cemeteries across the nation wanted to get involved. Nowadays more than 226,000 wreaths are laid each December at Arlington alone, and 1,640 locations participate annually.

For the New Paltz Rural Cemetery,

“This is the first year,” says Geraldine Moloney.

Moloney, whose father is interred in the Ulster County Veterans’ Cemetery that was dedicated on the Plains Road site in 2008, has been spending most of this year promoting the addition of Wreaths across America to the New Paltz Rural Cemetery. Not only does she want to honor the war dead, some of whose graves lack bronze markers, but also to raise awareness among Ulster County veterans that they are entitled to interment there free of charge.

Of the 7,900+ graves in the New Paltz Rural Cemetery, 835 belong to veterans. “We have 512 wreaths and we need approximately 300 more,” Moloney says. In order to have enough wreaths shipped from Maine in time for Wreath Day, Saturday, December 14, donors are asked to volunteer by Thanksgiving. Sponsoring a wreath costs $15, and it may be designated for the grave of a particular veteran or for general distribution in a particular cemetery. If you want to help out in New Paltz, use the URL address https://bit. ly/2WpoXHX to make your pledge.

Donations by check can be mailed to Wreaths Across America, PO Box 249, Columbia Falls, ME 04623, with NYNPRC/NY0270 written on the memo line.

STAGE Hal on the horizon Shakespeare’s Henry V opens Nov. 14 at SUNY-New Paltz

A

ccording to historian Barbara Tuchman, in her highly entertaining tome A Distant Mirror: The Calamitous 14th Century, it wasn’t a stirring speech by the young English king that gave his troops the victory against overwhelming numerical odds in the Battle of Agincourt. It was heavy rain in the week preceding the confrontation, turning the field to a sea of deep mud. Not having had to lighten their load for a sea crossing like the English army, the French defenders wore their heaviest plate armor and were mounted upon massive destriers. Their first downhill charge turned the battlefield to a mire, making the French knights and their horses easy pickings for the lightly outfitted English longbowmen. It’s said that 40 percent of the male French aristocracy of fighting age lost their lives that day. So many were taken captive that the English couldn’t supervise them all and decided to hold only the wealthiest hostage; the rest were executed. (So much for noble King Hal.) But the decisive victory for the invaders effectively ended the first phase of the Hundred Years’ War, and a royal marriage pact cementing the truce gave rise to the lineage that led to William Shakespeare’s patron, Elizabeth I. Don’t let historical facts get in the way of your enjoyment of the “St. Crispin’s Day speech,” the patriotic soliloquy that Shakespeare puts in the mouth of Henry V, however. “We few, we happy few, we band of brothers” has quickened the pulse of folks with military experience (or fantasies) for more than four centuries now, and for good reason. Though it’s the emotional high point of the play, the rollercoaster that is Henry V has plenty else going for its enduring popularity as well, from the comedy of the French envoys dumping an insulting “tribute” of a barrel of tennis balls at the feet of the boy king in Scene I to the pathos of him having to execute one of his former drinking, gambling and wenching buddies for a trivial bit of looting, just to set an example.

The repudiation of cowardly Falstaff, Prince Hal’s one-time mentor in the art of

the pub crawl, comes as a genuine wrench to anyone who has enjoyed the antics of that lovable rogue in the Henry IV plays and The Merry Wives of Windsor.

It’s never a bad time for another revival of Henry V. The latest to take it up is the Department of Theatre Arts at SUNYNew Paltz, as the second production of its 2019/20 Mainstage series. John Patrick Hayden, a New York City-based a c t o r /d i r e c t o r noted for playing the superhero’s boxer father in the Netflix Daredevil series, and whose short film Veritaphobia recently won Best Comedy at the Newark Film Festival, is the guest director.

He has been brought in to consult on several previous SUNYNew Paltz stage productions thanks to his expertise in fight choreography, so staging the Battle of Agincourt should give him plenty of room to stretch those muscles.

A pre-show discussion of Shakespeare’s approach to history plays will take place at 6:30 p.m. on opening night, November 14. The panel will feature Department of English faculty Cyrus Mulready, Thomas Olsen and James Schiffer joining director Hayden for a conversation moderated by student Kevin Mischo (Class of ’21, Theatre Arts).

Performances will take place in the McKenna Theatre at 8 p.m. on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays and at 2 p.m. on Sundays from November 14 to 17 and 20 to 24. Tickets cost $18 general admission, $16 for seniors (62+), faculty, staff, alumni and non-SUNY New Paltz students and $10 for SUNY-New Paltz students. To purchase, visit the Parker Theatre box office Monday through Friday from 11:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., call (845) 257-3880, e-mail boxoffice@newpaltz.edu or visit www.newpaltz.edu/fpa/boxoffice.html.

H

yde Park’s New Deal Creative Arts Center presents a new production of Arthur Miller’s ever-relevant historical drama The Crucible from November 8 through 16. In keeping with New Deal’s reputation, this production’s performance space is almost as noteworthy as the play itself: Executive director Teresa Gasparini and director Thom Webb have chosen the Pleasant Plains Presbyterian Church, located in Staatsburg, to set the scene and help tell the story. The old clapboard church is not unlike the clapboard meeting house in which much of the tragic history of the Salem Witch Trials actually unfolded. Under the direction of Thom Webb, the cast of more than 20 Hudson Valley actors is led by Joe Eriole, Steavie Reed, Michael Frohnhoefer and Alexandra Petrova. Performances take place on November 8, 9, 15 and 16 at 7:30 p.m. and on Sunday, November 10 at 2 p.m. Tickets cost $20 in advance, $25 at the door.

descriptions of adjacent parcels and the properties to be acquired. The project is located in the City of Kingston in Ulster County, NY. The project proposes to construct a non-motorized shared-use path following the general alignment of the abandoned Ulster & Delaware Railroad right-of-way from the east side of Cornell Street to Westbrook Lane. The proposed public use will be 10-12 ft. wide trail with an asphalt surface running a length of approximately 0.8 miles.

Persons may appear in person or by agent and will be given the opportunity to present oral or written statements and to submit other documents concerning PIN 8761.82, the Ulster County Midtown Linear Park project.

The project will require public acquisition of property. This public hearing is being held to comply with the requirements of the Federal Highway Administration and Sections 201 and 202 of the EDPL. Ulster County will attempt to acquire necessary property through offers of Fair Market Value. However, based upon a title search, it is anticipated that acquisition of property by Eminent Domain will be necessary to complete the project.

Any property owners who may subsequently wish to challenge the condemnation of their property by judicial review may do so only on the basis of issues, facts, and objections raised at the hearing.

Further information on the project may be obtained by contacting Christopher White,
