100s of things to do every week

Ellenville’s in the running for a Hometown Takeover llenville has been compared to the phoenix – the mythical bird that “cyclically regenerates or is otherwise born again.” Or a roller coaster. Ups and downs. Recent impetus is looking as though regeneration is on the rise, what with a veritable Restaurant Row on Canal Street. And, in the midst of real action to brand the village as a viable destination for up-and-coming businesses and as a good place to live, Ellenville has entered the reality TV fray.

HGTV has launched a competition for a new show dubbed Hometown Takeover, wherein a certifiably downtrodden town of 40,000 citizens or less – one that’s struggling to be its best in the 21st century and in need of some TLC – wins a makeover.

As one might imagine, the competition is stiff. Lots of small towns across the country are in dire survival mode. Some 1,600 entries are vying to become one of the ten winning villages, which will each undergo a cosmetic renovation by the HGTV team, particularly focusing on their downtown areas. Erin and Ben Napier, hosts of Home Town, will present six episodes of this civicrenewal project in 2021.

by Gerald Berliner, currently best-known for his drone photographs of the Hudson Valley.

A Londoner by birth, Berliner has lived in town since 2007 and calls Ellenville “the best-kept secret.” He’s dedicated to advertising the region’s attributes: its ecotourism in the availability of hanggliding, mountaineering, hiking the rail trails, trekking up Minnewaska’s Sam’s Point. “We also have big cultural attractions,” Berliner says, mentioning Shadowland Stages, along with the various museums and historical sites. “Ellenville is spearheading a wayfinding sign program, sponsored by the county. ‘Theater District.’ ‘Restaurant Row.’ ‘Tourist Information Center.’ These really help to put you on the map – plus the new website, Find Yourself in Ellenville. To be taken seriously, we have to present ourselves seriously: send the signal that we care about our citizens and businesses.”

The HGTV opportunity just landed in their laps. “We cottoned onto it quite late and didn’t have a lot of time to pull it all together,” Berliner says of the application

process. “It was a two-part submission: the story and a few photographs; but they did stress that a video would do better as the main attraction. We had to quickly try to balance our past with reasons for our present, and what the potential is for them to come in and fix it up.

“For this pitch, you have to feature what’s wrong – total warts-and-all, and we’ve got a few warts in Ellenville. It’s a reality TV show, so we needed to be real. I think it might be interesting if it throws a spotlight on the challenges that small towns face on a monthly basis, particularly a rural town like ours. It’s an extremely valuable exercise for us. It’s generated a lot of excitement for the community.”

The YouTube video submitted to HGTV includes Berliner’s photo stills and drone video shots of the village and surrounding landscape, along with historical photos of Ellenville’s past and a greeting from mayor Jeff Kaplan. The voiceover is done by actor Ray Faiola. “We had to tailor the video to what we thought would be realistic for them to take on: dilapidated houses, boarded-up shops. We have no idea how it’s financed or how it’s going to go [if we win] or what the timetable will be. We just hit the Send button with our application and read, ‘Thank you for your submission, we’ll get back to you shortly.’”

The television show is looking for a town’s culture and traditions, its significant history in the region, its points of pride and needs for civic revival. “Even if we don’t win, we’re still going to be moving ahead like gangbusters. A noticeable groundswell of interest signals that tides of fortune are turning in our favor. Our promotional campaign will start capitalizing on that with specific goals: boost ecotourism, greater exposure to events and people attraction, pulling people in, weekenders, businesses.” He talks about the need for viable retail establishments and hospitality options.

When asked whether there’s some concern that a new version of Ellenville might suffer from symptoms of gentrification, as other upstate towns do now, Berliner says, “Ultimately, what is it we really want and need? Do you want to run the risk of being overrun every single weekend with people causing a lot of disturbance to our residents? There’s a fine line you have to be aware of. We have to go about it by striking a balance. I’ve seen all our challenges and our problems.

We are definitely moving into a new era, and it’s time to capitalize on that and get us both seen and heard in a positive light.”

Stay tuned. Ellenville just might be moving into prime time.

Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn

Manic pixie nightmare girl Birds of Prey dilutes Harley Quinn’s toxicity, but fails to charm

I

f you happened to watch last Sunday’s Academy Awards ceremony telecast, you may have noticed that “woke� Hollywood was in catchup mode after some duly noted backsliding into #oscarssowhite territory. Natalie Portman wore a designer cape embroidered with the names of deserving female directors who had been snubbed during the nomination process.

Greta Gerwig’s name, not nominated for her bangup job on Little Women, was on a lot of indignant people’s lips. Presenters, many of them people of color, did comedy routines about the paucity of PoC among this year’s acting nominees (since Antonio Banderas is Spanish and therefore doesn’t count as Latino, there was precisely one: Cynthia Erivo). If the festivities had a theme, it was “representation,� with a multilingual chorus singing along on the nominated song from Frozen 2 and Zack Gottsagen, the actor with Down Syndrome who starred in The Peanut Butter Falcon, presenting the Best Live-Action Short Film Oscar.

There are many obstacles and detours on the long hard road to a movie industry that’s truly a level playing field. And part of the package of women being afforded equal opportunities with men on all levels of film production is the need for a willingness to tolerate women making as high a percentage of lousy movies as men get away with. Try as we may to be judged by our best work, we can’t all be dancing backwards in heels all the time, forever.

bonding movie, the origin story of a scrappy all-girl DC crimefighting team: Besides Robbie’s Quinn, there are Rosie Perez as Renee Montoya, Jurnee SmollettBell as Dinah Lance/Black Canary, Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Helena Bertinelli/ Huntress and Ella Jay Basco as Cassandra Cain. Trouble is, their various plot t h r e a d s d o n’ t knit together into teamwork until the last act of the movie: an utterly implausible battle scene cleverly set in the funhouse of an abandoned amusement park (which is quite thematically correct for the lead character).

The battles really never end in Birds of Prey, wantonly mixing the silliness of glitter bombs with the gruesome sound of crunching bones. And they typically follow the traditional action-movie format of antagonists who far outnumber the heroes politely approaching them one at a time so they can be dispensed with neatly.

Worse, it’s violence presented in such a lighthearted way that it’s glamorized, and

The story picks up right after the most problematic aspect of the Harley Quinn narrative: her toxic co-dependent relationship with the Joker.

room to make glorious mistakes, the same way some of their male counterparts have always done, ultimately pushing the cinematic artform forward.

This is by way of prologue to my sad responsibility of reporting that this week’s new movie was one of those failed experiments, though it’ ll probably be embraced by diehard fans of comic-bookbased screen p r o d u c t s nonetheless. I didn’t truly expect to like Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn), as that sort of thing is not my cup of tea anyway; but I wanted to, because it has a female director (Cathy Yan), a female screenwriter (Christina Hodson) and two out of three female producers (Margot Robbie and Sue Kroll). Surely, if there was a team who could fix all the things that are horribly wrong with DC Comics’ Harley Quinn character, these women could pull it off. Nuh-uh.

It’s not as if they didn’t try. Birds of Prey is supposed to be a badass-female-

channeled primarily through a character with inexplicable appeal to tween and teen girls (scanty Harley Quinn costumes are top sellers for Halloween and cosplay).

There’s a disturbing scene in this movie that will trigger date-rape survivors and that young girls – who will be begging their parents to let them see Birds of Prey – should not be seeing at all, in which a drunk, incapacitated Harley makes almost no effort to fend off a man who is molesting her.

The story picks up right after the most problematic aspect of the Harley Quinn narrative: her toxic co-dependent relationship with the Joker. It’s supposed to be about her journey in putting this abusive former lover behind her and learning to build trust with other oppressed and victimized women. But any expectation of consciousness-raising implied in that premise fizzles almost immediately. The primary consequence of breaking up with the Joker is that she is immediately targeted by all the people from all walks of life – though mostly thugs – whom she has previously offended while under his protection. So most of Birds of Prey consists of chase scenes and acrobatic fights. It’s a comic-book movie in the worst sense of that phrase: eye-popping, hyperkinetic and populated by one-dimensional characters.

That’s true even of our protagonist.

Robbie is clearly having fun with the role and sustains a high energy level, but never manages to make Harley at all relatable.

In fact, I found myself nodding along with the primary villain, Roman Sionis/Black Mask (Ewan McGregor), when he calls her “tiresome,� and with Black Canary when she calls her “that asshole nobody likes.�

Picture a spoiled, entitled high-schoolclique mean girl with the worst case of ADHD ever recorded and you’ve pretty much got Harley Quinn. A villain sans gravitas, she takes whatever she wants whenever she wants it and walks all over people, literally and figuratively. I guess we’re supposed to be charmed. I found her relentlessly obnoxious, and would’ve left the theater within the first half-hour if I didn’t know that I had to write a review.

So, as a potential demonstration project for what can be portrayed differently when women are behind the camera, Birds of Prey is as huge a disappointment as your initial hopes were unrealistically high.

Some who demand less of their big-screen fluff will find it enjoyable. I emphatically didn’t. But I still want more space in the industry for women, like men, to make bad movies as well as good ones. – Frances Marion Platt

LYNN WOODS | ALMANAC WEEKLY

Sylvia Leonard Wolf in her Bearsville home

The art of art appraisal Woodstock’s Sylvia Leonard Wolf looks very closely at the world of creation

T

hrough her longtime participation on the boards of the Woodstock Byrdcliffe Guild, the Woodstock Artists Association (WAAM) and the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art, Sylvia Leonard Wolf has quietly helped shape the region’s art historical legacy. She is chair of the Exhibitions Committee at the Woodstock Byrdcliffe Guild and a member of WAAM’s Permanent Collection Committee. She co-curated, with Tina Bromberg and Abigail Sturges, last fall’s “Woodstock Collects,” in which works from private collections were shown at the Guild’s Kleinert/ James Gallery, WAAM, Center for Photography at Woodstock and Woodstock Historical Society. It was an ambitious undertaking that showcased the protean creative output of the historic art colony

and the artists’ many interconnections.

Wolf brings a unique skillset to these roles: She is an appraiser, with 40 years’ experience specializing in American and European fine art and decorative arts.

Certified by the Appraisers’ Association of America (she served 25 years on the board and two years as president), Wolf has appraised collections associated with the Metropolitan Museum of Art, MoMA, Guggenheim, Cooper Hewitt, Centre Pompidou, Tate Museum and a host of other institutional heavy-hitters. She has appraised everything from Abraham Zapruder’s famous film of the Kennedy assassination to works by Picasso, Philip Guston, Mary Frank and Joan Snyder to the estates of Louise Nevelson and Grandma Moses to the textiles of Annie Albers (wife of Joseph); many of her appraisals have been in the multi-millions of dollars. She has taught courses on her profession at New York University and lectured on the art of appraising and insuring fine art at NYU, the New School, American Institute of Conservators, New York City Bar Association, Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts and many other organizations and institutions.

Wolf grew up on New York City’s Upper West Side. She attended the High School of Music and Art – she played piano and violin – and spent weekends perusing the art museums and galleries with her mother, who worked in the fashion industry. She graduated from New York University, where she majored in French Literature and Art History, and also took Art History classes at the Institute of Fine Arts.

Shortly after graduating she got married, had three children and, after her husband, who formed his own book publishing company, got a job in a Swiss company, moved to Geneva. In Switzerland, Wolf, who spoke French, had many friends, browsed antique shops and

flea markets, visited museums, got into photography and fell in love with the food markets, which prompted an interest in cooking that inspired the Cook’s Catalog, published by a company founded by her husband in collaboration with James Beard and Milton Glaser.

After four years in Switzerland, the family returned to the States, settling in Westchester. When Wolf and her husband divorced, she had to support her children and was searching for a profession.

By chance she met another parent at her child’s school who was a personal property appraiser, and subsequently took courses to fill in the gaps in her knowledge at the New School and Columbia Un i v e r s i t y.

She joined the Appraisers’ Association of America, moved back to the City with her youngest son and was soon working full-time as an appraiser.

She married a Danish artist, Poul Janus Ipsen, moved to a large loft in SoHo and renovated a weekend house in Phoenicia.

Currently Wolf lives with her third husband, Leonard Levitan, an exhibition planner and designer who also is a longtime board member of WAAM, at an idyllic property in Bearsville. An Asian-style wooden gateway – built by Wolf ’s youngest son, James Wolf, who lives in Vietnam and founded a company specializing in bamboo construction and bamboo-frame bicycles – frames the entrance to her expansive gardens, which she planted herself after the couple purchased the house in 2009. The

Many people filmed the event, but Abraham Zapruder’s was the clearest. He had been given a new Bell & Howell eightmillimeter film camera and went down to Daley Plaza, which was not far from his office, to see Kennedy. His secretary realized he’d forgotten his camera and ran down and gave it to him. After the assassination, the FBI swooped down and took all the films [made by bystanders].

Time/Life offered Zapruder $150,000 to borrow the film and publish a portion of it. When they gave it back, two frames had been cut out. (I’ve actually examined the 100-foot-long film in the National Archives and with a magnifier saw where it was spliced together.) Eighteen years later, the government determined it should permanently own the film for possible future information. After the heirs of the Zapruder family deemed that the government’s offer of $1 million was too low, it was agreed that each party would hire their own appraisers and agree to a third-party arbitration process. I was one of the family’s appraisers.

How did you get that high-profile assignment?

NBC’s Today Show does an annual feature on the Kennedy assassination, and because it was known that compensation for the film was being discussed, they asked if someone in the Appraisers’ Association of America could talk about the value of the film.

The Association’s director had a meeting conflict, so he asked me to do it instead.

I spent days studying all the relevant factors of its value and estimated it as ranging from $10 million to $40 million. Two days after my TV appearance, I got a call from Skadden Arps, the law firm representing the family, asking if I’d be interested in writing a report and being part of the team. You can read about it in Robert Bennett’s In the Ring: The Trials of a Washington Lawyer (Crown, 2008).

Sylvia Leonard Wolf has appraised everything from Abraham Zapruder’s famous film of the Kennedy assassination to works by Picasso.

How much did the government ultimately pay the family? $18 million ($17 million, plus $1 million accrued interest).

You’ve appraised so many works of art for insurance purposes, estate and charitable gift tax purposes and for lawsuits, including a fascinating case concerning

Feb. 13, 2020 Louise Nevelson and a subsequent trial in New York State Supreme Court. What were the circumstances?

I appraised everything Nevelson produced from the time she was 75 to her death at age 88, in 1988. Pace Gallery promoted her, and she was the first American female sculptor in the 20th century to become famous. When she was 75, her son hired an attorney to incorporate his mother as a business whereby he would be president, with a $1 million annual salary, while hers was $25,000, plus all her expenses paid.

For 25 years, Nevelson had lived with an associate who had managed her affairs, and when the artist died, her son threatened to throw the woman out of Nevelson’s townhouse and take possession of all the art Nevelson had bequeathed to her. The associate turned to a friend, Jasper Johns, who took the story to The New York Times, which was read by the IRS, which brought a lawsuit. There were several complex legal issues at stake, but my assignment was only to render an opinion of the value of the art Nevelson had created in the last 13 years of her life.

I spent weeks appraising 4,000 prints, numerous sculptures and some jewelry, which the son had moved into a warehouse in Connecticut, cataloguing and photographing everything, including miscellaneous parts of broken furniture not yet incorporated into a finished “assemblage.” The values I ascribed to them were vastly different from the opposing side, so the case went to trial in the Supreme Court of New York State. The case was resolved by a private settlement.

Closer to home, you recently appraised Arthur Anderson’s historic collection of Woodstock art, consisting of 1,500 works, which he donated to the New York State Museum; Mary Frank’s works, owned by the artist; a major painting by Joan Mitchell, donated to a museum in the Midwest; the estate of Tom Gottsleben, who was a sculptor working in stone and crystals; paintings, drawings and prints

by Philip Guston, one of which, at your suggestion, was donated to WAAM; and Harvey Fite’s works at Opus 40.

Fite’s work was challenging, because many of his freestanding pieces are not that distinctive from other artists’. There weren’t enough comparables, so I had to look sideways, at other artists from the region, in terms of the period, style, dimensions and aesthetic qualities.

I’ve also appraised all of the outdoor sculpture of the PepsiCo collection [which consists of works by internationally known artists and is displayed on the grounds of the corporate headquarters in Purchase, New York]. Many of these pieces were going to be moved to a conservation studio, so they needed to establish a baseline value for insurance purposes before they were touched.

You appraise both estates and donations.

How are they different?

For estates, most often the heirs hope for values on the lower side, for tax reasons; whereas with donations – for example, to a museum – most people want the

5

ALMANAC WEEKLY highest value possible for a charitable gift tax credit. Sometimes it’s a challenge to satisfy the client and not undermine your professionalism. If one does three appraisals that are successfully challenged by the IRS (meaning the donor is getting an unfair advantage by paying lower taxes), you will be penalized a percentage of the difference between the accurate value and the challenged “too-high” value, plus the IRS will no longer accept your appraisals for any IRS-related purpose.

I try to mollify a client with unrealistic expectations by explaining that they, too, will be tied up for years in litigation and incur additional costs, and then they usually become reasonable. There’s some leeway, and as long as you can make a sound case, which I make every effort to do, you’re safe.

How does the IRS do the evaluation?

The IRS Art Review Panel in Washington, DC is composed of experts from every segment of the art world, who review every appraisal over $20,000 looking for inconsistencies between the appraised value and the fair market value (established auction or retail gallery price). Annual charitable contributions totaling $5,000 or more in any given year are reviewed on the state level.

Have you ever been challenged by the IRS? Never, for the reasons cited already.

I’d like to add that most people have no idea of the amount of time it takes to create an unchallengeable appraisal. You need to research all the information about the artist, including the context of his/ her body of work, and all the comparable figures in the current marketplace at auction and at the gallery level, so that the appraisal report conforms to the industry standards.

You recently appraised two portraits painted by John Vanderlyn, a Kingston native who was the first American artist to study in Europe, which were owned by the late Avery Smith and donated by him to the Friends of Historic Kingston.

Vanderlyn is much less-known than several of his contemporaries. Did that make the job difficult?

The Vanderlyn portraits were fascinating because it gave me a window into the history of Kingston. They depict Helen and Henry Sharpe and their son, George Henry, who became a prominent 19th-century New York State statesman.

During the Civil War, he recruited 1,500 soldiers from Ulster, Greene and Delaware Counties for the 120th Regiment. After the war he commissioned a bronze sculpture commemorating the fallen soldiers, which is installed at the cemetery of the Old Dutch Church. I made a value judgment on the portraits because Vanderlyn should be better-known than he is, despite having a monumental work in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Appraising is not a science, but an art.

uniqueness, condition, where it fits into the artist’s oeuvre, its historical importance and its provenance.

Provenance was especially pertinent when I appraised the Serge Sabarsky collection, which was bought by Ron Lauder and is the basis of the Neue Galerie in New York City. A large number of works

by Egon Schiele are part of that collection, and I was unable to appraise most of his drawings because the provenance wasn’t clear. If there was a verifiable or reasonably reliable record of ownership of a work by a European artist until the 1930s, and then no record of it until it appears in an auction house decades later, it may indicate that the work was stolen by the Nazis from their Jewish owners. I’ve done several appraisals for the Holocaust Restitution Committee, including what a work of art would potentially be worth should it reappear. I don’t authenticate a work of art, but I need to practice due diligence to determine the provenance and the value.

Do you appraise other types of objects besides fine art?

I love and appraise decorative art, such as furniture, objects made of silver and metal, carpets and textiles and ceramics, as well as couturier and designer-made clothing. Accessories and apparel are a significant form of the decorative arts and reflect the society and the culture in which they are made. It’s rewarding to me that more museums and colleges throughout the country have developed departments to collect and study custom, artist-made and designer-label apparel.

How do you charge?

I charge a fee based on an hourly or project rate, unrelated to the value.

However, if I’m appraising something that has a value of $100,000 versus $10,000, the fee will be higher because the amount of research required, and the responsibility of signing a legal document, simply is greater.

Do you have sideline businesses related to appraising?

No, I’m one of the few to make a living solely from appraising; most appraisers combine it with dealing or an art-related skill. However, back in the 1980s, I was a fine art consultant to a fine art insurance company, whose minimum threshold for a client was $10 million. For that job, I’d go, for example, to somebody’s Park Avenue apartment where there was a Velasquez painting over the fireplace insured for $5 million. I’d ask if the client used the fireplace, and if he or she said yes, because

heat and soot could damage the condition of the painting, I might say either they have to move the painting to a different wall or we wouldn’t insure it.

How much do values of art change over time?

Fairly frequently, I’m asked to reevaluate appraisals done 10 to 20 years ago, because values do change, both up and down.

(Insurance companies will say works of art should be appraised every three years, but most people resist, so I’d recommend between five and 10.) Contemporary art is the most volatile. Knowledgeable people follow which artists are getting good critical acclaim and which museums or collectors are acquiring their work. But contrary to popular opinion, art doesn’t always appreciate. Sometimes art by a forgotten artist will sit in a warehouse for years, because no one wants it – which, by the way, is common.

You did not grow up in Woodstock or have a direct family connection, but you are as dedicated as anyone to preserving its history. When did you first move to the area?

I started coming here in the early 1980s.

Before moving to Bearsville, I owned a house in Phoenicia, which I loved; but I needed to be part of a larger community with more cultural activities. Woodstock is unique because it has such a deep history of creative people. So many of the earlier artists’ families have remained here because it’s a beautiful place to live and still values talent and artistry. The town has held itself apart from modernization and is focused on preservation. It’s a community of like-minded people.

You’ve dedicated much of your time and energy to two of Woodstock’s leading art institutions.

I was a trustee of WAAM and then became a director for at least 10 years, when the trustees and directors merged.

After my term expired, I’ve remained active on the Permanent Collection Committee.

occasionally makes purchases with their acquisition fund (they occasionally divest as well). WAAM’s permanent collection numbers over 2,000 works, and you can see it online through the Hudson Valley Visual Arts Consortium. I am awed that in 1929 a group of artists formed this association. We need institutions to highlight and honor artists of unique and proven talent, whether or not they had commercial success.

I’m also extremely dedicated to the Woodstock Byrdcliffe Guild (on which I serve as a vice president on the board and as Exhibition Committee chair), whose motto is “It all started here” – which is true, because without Byrdcliffe, Woodstock wouldn’t be what it is today. A lot of artists associated with the early years of the Guild went on to form WAAM and the Maverick; and starting in 1906, the Art Students League held their summer classes in Woodstock, which became the Woodstock School of Art. Alexander Archipenko also established his art school here, so you get this tremendous amalgam of creative energy.

Clinton Avenue Methodist Church hosts TMI’s Black Stories Matter

DION OGUST | ALMANAC WEEKLY

You’ve also been active as a curator.

A major show I curated with Tina Bromberg and Karen Walker was “Byrdcliffe’s Legacy,” to highlight the work and the lasting influence of the original painters, woodworkers, metalworkers, weavers and other craftspeople through the 1970s. Another significant project was creating “Woodstock Collects,” for which I was one of the developers, in tandem with my good friends, artist and Woodstock-raised Tina Bromberg and Abigail Sturges, whom I like to tease as “the mistress of le tout Woodstock.”

It was the first-ever collaborative show that included all five Woodstock ar ts organizations, and gamechanging because, even though these organizations share interests and have many members in common, we’re also competing for the same funds from a limited market. The future requires even more collaborations on joint projects, and I very much look forward to participating in them.

Gerber’s Parnassus Records recently reissued The Black Swans, a CD of rare African American classical recordings. He is a classical music reviewer and columnist for the Woodstock Times and Classical Music Collector, a former classical music director at WDST and the author of Lies of the Poets, a collection of his own poetry.

MUSIC Popa Chubby performs, then weds this Friday at the Falcon

Kairos performs Bach Cantata #92 at Holy Cross Monastery

Celebrating 30 years in the business, the tireless blues troubadour Popa Chubby returns to the stage at the Falcon on Friday, February 14 for a blue Valentine’s Day celebration, previewing his imminent release, A Mighty Hard Road, due out on March 1. The man born as Ted Horowitz has a special surprise in store after the show: his own wedding. Popa Chubby and Mary Beth Stolz invite the crowd to stick around as they exchange vows.

As usual at the Falcon, there is no cover, but generous direct-to-performer donation is the house norm.

Kairos: A Consort of Singers launches its 2020 Bach Cantata series with a performance on Sunday, February 16 at the acoustically superb Holy Cross Monastery in West Park. Under the direction of Dr. Edward Lundergan, Kairos will perform a program featuring Bach’s Cantata no. 92, “Ich hab in Gottes Herz und Sinn” (“I have surrendered to God’s heart and mind”).

Bach composed the chorale cantata in Leipzig, and it was first performed in January 1725. It is based on the hymn “Ich hab in Gottes Herz und Sinn” by Paul Gerhardt (1647) and is the only chorale cantata that Bach based on a hymn by Gerhardt. As part of the service, Kairos will also perform parts of Tomás Luís de Victoria’s beautiful “Missa O magnum mysterium,” composed in 1592 and based on his wellknown motet of the same name.

This concert is open to the public. A $15 suggested donation helps fund the Bach Cantata Series and ensure its continuity.

Sign of spring Cherries Ice Cream reopens in Stone Ridge

A

lyson Reidy owns and operates a beloved spot on Route 209 in Stone Ridge where ice cream has been served for nearly 70 years. She named the popular establishment Cherries Ice Cream Bar & Grill when she bought it 11 years ago, and she has just reopened its doors after a long winter break.

The modest-sized deli, tucked in between the trees, has indoor and outdoor seating.

A steady stream of customers drops by for lunch or dinner, followed, naturally, by one of Reidy’s irresistible cones, sundaes or shakes. The menu blackboard above the cash drawer lists an extensive offering of hot and cold sandwiches, burgers and hot dogs, sides of this and that and daily specials, all whipped up behind the counter.

“It had always been an ice cream store, with some burgers and French fries,” she says. “People still ask about [former owners] Rose and Jurgen. They also did a lot of potato salad and some German foods they were famous for. We expanded our foods menu to do wraps, bigger sandwiches and hot foods.”

Customers can call ahead or order a meal online to save time. But the whole experience of enjoying ice cream defies “saving time” when the sun is out and a cone of the good stuff is melting in your hand and there’s no rush to be anywhere else. And although summertime is usually associated with such a scene, Reidy keeps Cherries open from mid-February to December.

“Everyone else before us took a longer winter break. We’ve established ourselves more like a year-round food place. We have eight or nine employees. I’ve been really lucky through the years to keep three full-time employees. Then we have part-time employees in high school and college that revolve in and out; most have been with us four or five years, for a long time. It’s a good job for them. They grew up in the area, as did their parents. We know them.”

Originally from nearby Rosendale, Reidy says that her favorite thing about having the business is serving this community. “I’m seeing things come full circle. When we first got here, there were some children that were super-little, they were 5 and 6; now they’re getting ready to graduate. And the kids who were graduating the first year we were here – now they’re starting to bring in their kids! I look at them and think, ‘Are you old enough to do that?’ They are! And within the next 11 years, those babies will be coming in. That cycle has been really cool for us to watch. And then also, just being here in the community, serving the things we think are fun – we’ve been well-received.

Cooking to thrive in the 21st century Lean how to make seasonal grain bowls with cookbook author/activist Maria Reidelbach at Kingston’s Old Dutch Church on Saturday

The Kingston Winter Farmers’ Market will host another Seasonal Eating Workshop in the kitchen of the Old Dutch Church this Saturday with artist, author and activist Maria Reidelbach at the prep table. “I’m going to talk to people about the ideal ratios [of ingredients]: heavy on the leafy greens, heavy on the veggies, less protein and less whole grains,” she says, showing an illustrated pie chart. “The idea is to teach people to look at their food in a different way: very different proportions than what we’ve been taught by endless food pyramids, ones devised by a government office that is heavily influenced

by Big Ag commerce.”

On the back of the pie chart, readers will find lists of which vegetables would fit the bill to achieve the most in nutrition, including optional proteins. Reidelbach notes that she doesn’t promote a strictly vegetarian or vegan diet, yet the key to her “climate change

menu” centers on choosing more foods that are produced with a smaller carbon footprint than industrial meat production.

Another colorful chart spells out the difference between being a total meat-lover and a vegan, and all stages in between.

For example, at maximum carnivorous consumption, the Standard American Diet pumps out 3.3 tons of carbon per year.

By cutting beef and lamb off your grocery list, you’re down to 1.9 tons. A switch to veganism cuts that total by about a half-ton.

It’s interesting to note, according to Lindsay Wilson’s data (see ShrinkThatFootprint.com), that a diet that includes chicken, fish, pork and dairy products measures only slightly higher in CO2 emissions than vegetarian fare, depending on how the veggies, beans and grains are grown.

Reidelbach’s recommendations are adaptable to an individual’s preferences and specific needs, such as having to avoid gluten or dairy products. She wants people to try new options rather than feel put off by being told what they shouldn’t consume.

Attendees to the Seasonal Eating Workshop, along with participants in her cooking group at the Cornell Cooperative Extension of Ulster County (CCEUC), are exposed to new menu concepts and ingredients gently. She wants them to be inspired to make healthy changes.

“We’ll be making harvest grain bowls,” says Reidelbach. “People will have different jobs in the kitchen: cutting, dicing, slicing, arranging.

Almost all the ingredients will be sourced from the next room – the Kingston Farmers’ Market – including a combination of cooked, fresh, pickled and cured ingredients (including meats and fish). Also, ‘sprinkles’ – crumbled bacon, sprouts, microgreens, grated cheese, nuts and seeds – the confetti of the food world, and a homemade dressing. We will learn how to create a grain bowl that is both kind to the planet and very healthy. Interestingly, what’s good for the planet turns out to be good for

“The most challenging thing for me is the hours. We work a lot. I have two young children, and I’m lucky because we live next door. I love what I’m doing. That makes it easier. I can’t imagine having to work that hard without really loving what I do.

“I had always worked in restaurants and food service of some sort. I’d gone to school, but always fell back into food service. Then one day my dad said, ‘You know, Jurgen’s is for sale.’ It was called TJ Scoops at the time. I’d never made an ice cream cone in my life, or cooked food myself. But I knew how to run a line in general.

“I came up one summer and worked with the previous owners a bit. They taught me a lot. Then we had our closing and it was like, ‘Here you go!’ It was super-hard the first year. I didn’t know what I was doing. But I was good at customer service, and it worked out. My husband is a carpenter – and there’s always work to do on the property, but he’s not a ‘customer person.’ But I couldn’t do what I do without him.

My brother works in refrigeration and electronics, so he’s helped me out that way.”

Cherries specializes in homemade ice cream cakes and cupcakes for all occasions.

They offer full-service catering with giant party subs, wing platters and other hot entrées for graduations, funerals (“Somebody’s gotta do it,” she says) and even weddings. “We like to do things that are fun, like the sweet fries sundae! Or outlandish and creative, like the cherry bomb sundae that you can’t eat by yourself.

How many random things can you put on a French fry and really make it work and be delicious and affordable? Fun is what we’re always going for.”

– Ann Hutton Cherries Ice Cream Bar & Grill, Monday-Saturday, 11 a.m.-8 p.m., 4162 Route 209, Stone Ridge; (845) 687-9121, https://cherriesstoneridge.com.

us, too. It’s a win/win in terms of diet.

“All the recipes I’m making for a new cookbook – you slot in whatever ingredient you have for that category. So, in a fruit crisp recipe, you make it with whatever fruit you have on hand, and whatever grain you’ve got. Then you can use butter or vegetable shortening or oil, nuts or no nuts at all. It’s like a formula. Again, on the back [of pages], you have different choices and ideas, ways to make it even greener. So, what I’m doing is – these are all draft recipes. I’m putting them out and asking people to try them at my cookbook club over at the Cornell Extension.”

Reidelbach is on a mission. Currently collaborating with the CCEUC on the new cookbook, titled Turning the Tables: Cooking to Thrive in the 21st Century, she advocates for community-based education that’s centered on finding solutions to the potential problems facing us all with climate change.

She has worked with local farmers through the Rondout Valley Growers’ Association for 15 years; you might have seen her “Stick to Local Farms,” an interactive map featuring small farms throughout the region, or read her work, The Yardavore, a column about eating locally foraged and cultivated food.

“I got involved in the Transition Town movement in Marbletown and learned a way of approaching climate change that worked for me, which is to organize on a community level.

Individually, there are things we can do, like recycling and not buying very much, getting a car that has better gas mileage. But we’re not powerful enough. And the government’s not doing anything. It’s on the community level that we can take the biggest step.”

She mulls over the fact that most of us are aware of climate change, but are basically disconnected from each other when it comes to acting on our concerns. “In the last year or two, people have woken up about this. They’re not in denial anymore. They’re not talking to each other, but they’re thinking about it.

I felt like the time was right for a cookbook like this. I checked out other climate change cookbooks printed in the last couple of years, but most of them were either vegan or weirdly fussy, like recipes that called for very specific ingredients. Or half of the text is about how climate change is happening – so much more than even I want to know. So I wanted to create a cookbook for people who had sort of fallen out of the practice of cooking or who had never learned to cook in a way that is flexible, incorporating different ingredients on the fly, which is what you get if you have a garden or shop at the Farmers’ Market. It also helps you avoid waste.

“What we can do is organize at the community level to localize everything possible, have a potluck and get to know your neighbors, learn how you get your water and all those services and just have fun. We have to make this joyful, or people are not going to do it. The most resilient communities do this. Localized farming is a big deal in the Transition movement. And we have farmers growing rice in Ulster Park! I’ve been eating local rice all winter. So fresh!”

Reidelbach invites locals to reserve a spot at the chopping block this Saturday at the Farmers’ Market in Kingston. Check out a veritable smörgåsbord of winter vegetables – butternut squash, kale, rainbow radishes, potatoes, carrots, beets, Brussels sprouts, eggs, lentils, beans, apples, herbs, microgreens and nutty whole grains – and compose your own harvest bowl. Bring an apron, a hat or other implement to hold back your hair and a jar to take home extra dressing. Then enjoy a hearty local lunch.

Rising tide?

Looking for patterns in a changing marketplace

I

t was John F. Kennedy who was best known for his use of the reassuring words that “a rising tide lifts all boats.” Kennedy, who attributed the origin of the phrase to the people of Cape Cod, applied the principle to economic circumstances. It’s been known in American politics, intended at some

ROBERT BLOOMER

times reassuringly and at other times dismissively, ever since.

Does a rising real-estate tide lift the value of all residential properties? As noted here about a month ago, 2019 was a good year for residential property sales in Ulster County, with the median sold price of the 1665 transactions reported by the

FREE ESTIMATE/FULLY INSURED • TAKE DOWNS • CHIPPING • TOPPING • CLEARING • SCENIC VIEWS • CABLING • STORM DAMAGES

TREE REMOVAL & STUMP GRINDING LLC

“WE WILL NOT BE UNDER BID”

local Multiple Listing Service at $250,000, up 9.2 percent from the median price of such properties in 2018. Sales activity was reported to have been particularly strong in the last quarter of 2019.

The rising tide lifted some Ulster County property prices more the others, and in some localities more than others.

In Kingston, the median sold price of residential properties in 2019 was $191,750, up almost 20 percent over the previous year’s median price. In Woodstock, the median sold price was $420,000 in 2019,a hefty sum by most Ulster County standards but a gain of only four percent over the previous year.

This week we add data about three more Ulster County communities to the picture.

Based on 202 transactions in both 2019 and 2018, the median selling price of a residential property in Saugerties increased 9.9 percent to $223,000 in 2019, a slightly higher hike than for properties in the county as a whole. The

number of residential properties selling for under $200,000 decreased from 100 to 81, while those selling for between $200,000 and $500,000 increased from 90 to 111.

Sold prices in New Paltz, which had 88 transactions in 2018 and two more last year, increased more than the county average, too. Median sold prices increased from $284,000 to $316,250, a gain of 11.4 percent. Less expensive starter homes are becoming harder to find in New Paltz.

There were 20 sales below $200,000 in 2018, and only seven in 2019.

The rising-tide theory didn’t apply to Gardiner this past year, with the median residential sold price dipping substantially from $407,000 in 2018 to $358,750 in 2019. The number of Gardiner residences sold in the $300,000-to-$500,000 bracke t increased from 17 in 2018 to 32 in 2019, while those sold for more than $500,000 decreased from 21 to eleven.

The 1-car, attached garage with garage door opener and parking for 1 more car in the driveway is very convenient. $174,900

The small number of transactions (55 to 60 a year) in Gardiner is one possible explanation for the dip; the lower number is less statistically reliable. But a changing marketplace may also be at work here.

Certain localities may attract more activity from the home-buying population than others.

A longitudinal study (repeated observations over a longer period) might more accurately pinpoint the forces at work. We might find that observed local differences in tides examined over a longer time turn out to be – excuse the pun – a wash. – Geddy Sveikauskas
