JULY JAMBOREE Woodstock Farm Sanctuary in High Falls hosts festival this Sunday

E

ach summer all the two-legged and four-legged folks at the Woodstock Farm Sanctuary welcome visitors to the July Jamboree Festival, where you can meet more than 300 rescued farm animals and enjoy award-winning vegan food trucks and booths, live music and kids’ activities. This Sunday, July 3, will be the ninth annual such event, and the first time that the Sanctuary hosts it at its new location in High Falls: the former Camp Epworth, located at 2 Rescue Road, just off Lucas Turnpike.

DION OGUST | ALMANAC WEEKLY The July Jamboree is an all-ages event where kids can pet cute fuzzy critters and grownups can learn about the vegan lifestyle. This year’s celebrity guest will be best-selling author Terry Hope Romero, who will give a talk based on her new cookbook, Protein Ninja. Activities go on from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., rain or shine.

Admission to the July Jamboree Festival costs $20 for adults, $5 for kids aged 12 and under; a group of up to five adults or children traveling in a single vehicle can get in for a “carpool discount” price of $40. Event proceeds directly benefit the Sanctuary’s rescue, shelter and outreach work for farmed animals. For more information and to purchase tickets, call (845) 247-5700 or visit www.woodstocksanctuary.org.

Bed Race, parade & fireworks return to Saugerties July 4

of things to do every week

Memorial Field, celebrators can witness a true Saugerties anomaly: All it takes is five good people and a bed on wheels to participate in the Great Saugerties Bed Race – that means, four runners and a rider per bed with no motors permitted. “But why?” you might ask. To be held at Cantine Field after the parade, the Bed Race brings out the creative best in the town’s emergency service providers and any other agency that wants to meet the challenge posed by the Saugerties Police Department. (Contact harry39a@aol. com for more info.) The evening will be capped off with the always-amazing fireworks display that can be seen up and down the Hudson River after dusk.

S

teely Dan rode into my adolescent record collection under surreal circumstances. I was 12 when I joined the Columbia House Record Club, taping my penny to the postcard, checking my selections and waiting what seemed a sadistically long purgatorial term for the fulfillment.

Processing and shipment and delivery of everything were glacial back then, and I think it was that way for reasons more punitive and moralistic than practical.

Consumerism then had a scolding and dissuasive side that it has utterly lost.

Credit card companies did everything in their power to deny applicants and make them feel bad about themselves, and interest rates were 25 percent, with stiff penalties on top. Shit was rare. You had to listen to the records that you bought because there weren’t any others, and you really had to take care of your appliances. There were lines at the gas station and the tanks were empty anyway. Flying was simply not for most of us. I listened to Steely Dan, closely and repeatedly.

The Record Club choices themselves had been agonizing and protracted, based on my very limited musical familiarity and on the effusive blurbs in the Columbia House catalogue, where everything was touted as incendiary and incisive. So if you think that recorded music itself is the

– even those hacks like me hired to blurb the record club catalogues (actually they were probably moonlighting Rolling Stone and Circus writers) – were steering rivers of money that simply no longer exist. Now we steer rivers of hits, likes, plays, views, tags and all the other promissory tokens of networking with no redemption.

I was sick with a high fever when the cardboard box of 12 records arrived, and my feelings about certain records will be forever colored by that association. What else was in there besides the Dan’s Can’t Buy a Thrill and Pretzel Logic? Well, a lot of crap that I never bonded with, as I recall: something by Shawn Phillips, and THE CATSKILL MOUNTAIN FOUNDATION PRESENTS

maybe a Les Dudek record. But I dumblucked-in a couple that would stick with me for life, foremost among them Stevie Wonder’s trio of masterworks Talking Book, Innervisions (best album ever?) and the underrated Fulfillingness’ First Finale. How I was so sensible as to order three Stevie records I’ll never understand.

Also in there was Jethro Tull’s War Child – a fairly low light in their catalogue, according to the standard line – but I found it incendiary and incisive, my favorite by Ian and the boys and certainly a big commercial success, as the first two tracks were two of their greatest hits: the lovely and strange “Skating Away on the

T

he Yardbirds are certainly one of rock ‘n’ roll’s most potent secret narratives: star-laden and star-crossed, the band enjoyed great fame and numerous hits in its own time, as well as its lasting reputation as the breeding ground of a few well-regarded British Invasion guitarists by the names of Clapton, Page and Beck. With a style that spanned rhythm ‘n’ blues and psychedelic rock, the Yardbirds can quite fairly be called forerunners of both hard rock and of progressive Brit-folk, as founding members Keith Relf and Jim McCarty were also original members of new-folk legends Renaissance.

The original Yardbirds (with rotating guitarists) had run their storied course well before Relf died tragically of electrocution in 1976. But original members began reforming and recording in the ’90s, and on into the present. Groundbreaking blues/ rockers and Rock and Roll Hall of Famers the Yardbirds, featuring founding member Jim McCarty, will headline the Belleayre Music Festival’s first show in its new venue on Saturday, July 2 at 8 p.m.

The Yardbirds’ current lineup includes renowned guitarist Johnny A (Peter Wolf, Bobby Whitlock), bassist Kenny Aaronson (Bob Dylan, Billy Idol), singer/blues harpist/percussionist Myke Scavone (Ram Jam & Doughboys) and guitarist/singer John Idan. Woodstock-based favorites Connor Kennedy & Minstrel will open.

New this season, the Belleayre Music Festival will be held at Belleayre Mountain’s Discovery Lodge, with a capacity of more than 400. Advance tickets cost $28, $38 and $48, with an additional $5 charge on the day of the show. Belleayre Mountain’s Discovery Lodge is located at 181 Galli Curci Road in Highmount.

Water music Margaret Cogswell’s Ashokan Fugues debut this Saturday in Woodstock Margaret Cogswell is interested in rivers. The widely displayed multimedia artist, Guggenheim Fellow and part-time West Shokan resident has dedicated much of her work (and travel itinerary) to the rivers of the world. In 2003, she initiated her River Fugues projects with a multimedia installation on the subject of the Cuyahoga River, a river that became a complex symbol in America’s environmental, industrial, economic and social narrative: sung about by Randy Newman and REM, and famous, at one time, for being literally on fire.

the most surreal and special venue for Bard’s overstuffed SummerScape programming. This being Bard, the music is always world-class as well.

The Catskill Jazz Factory continues its fruitful collaboration with Bard College with the Catskill Jazz Factory at the Spiegeltent summer series. The series launches with a performance by Jazzmeia Horn, one of today’s elite jazz vocal talents, on Thursday, July 7 at 8 p.m. Horn’s repertoire spans Negro spirituals and adventurous contemporary jazz sounds. Her shows are organized as a coherent musical suite, fusing live jazz with dance in a multimovement work. The winner of the prestigious Thelonious Monk International Jazz Competition in 2015, Horn is often compared to classic vocalists like Betty Carter, Sarah Vaughan and Nancy Wilson.

The Spiegeltent provides a luminous and otherworldly setting for music and performance of all kind. This Weimar-era traveling structure is situated on the Bard campus every summer, providing perhaps *XLWDUV $PSOLÀHUV Pro Audio Accessories

KAATSBAAN

The Cuyahoga River Fugue was the first of Cogswell’s seven River Fugues to date.

The River Fugues array video, sculpture, music and spatial arts in a manner suggestive of the musical fugue, in which two or more independent lines echo and repeat common themes, aligning in time to form a complex harmonic whole.

Cogswell’s installations address rivers as complex, multiplayer conversations and alignments amongst nature, people, industry, politics and history. In 2012’s Wyoming River Fugue, circular video projections amble across the walls of a dim room that is furnished sparsely with industrial containers and swiveling, TinMan-like robot heads atop scaffolding.

The videos suggest much but reveal little as a sparse and arrhythmic industrial soundtrack plays.

In 2014, Cogswell produced Zhujiajiao River Poems, a multivideo installation dealing with the interdependencies and correspondences that she observed along the Zhujiajiao River during her time working in China. This, however, was a smaller, lyric work and not her most recent full-fledged River Fugue. That honor belongs to Moving the Water(s): Ashokan Fugues 2016, a work of local resonance and relevance that opens in July at the Kleinert/James Center for the Arts in Woodstock. This multimedia installation will dominate the spacious Kleinert/James gallery, filling it with video, audio and sculptural components that include water towers.

Based on Cogswell’s historical and scientific research, Ashokan Fugues explores the 100-year link between New York City’s Catskills watershed and mountain streams. Cogswell and the exhibition’s curator, Jeremy Adams, point out that this project is of particular significance locally because of Woodstock’s proximity to the Ashokan Reservoir: one of six reservoirs in the Catskill and Delaware watershed that provide up to 90 percent of the water for nine million people in New York City and dozens of communities along the aqueducts in Ulster, Westchester and Putnam Counties.

As with Wyoming River Fugue and other projects, Ashokan Fugues will serve as the stimulus and setting for a variety of more expository discussions and events exploring the history of the New York City water supply, as well as water quality and sustainability concerns in these inextricably linked New York communities. These events will include presentations focused on water quality issues in a conversation on Sunday, July 24, from 4-6 p.m. between Vincent Coluccio, Environmental Health specialist and former interim chief of New York City Drinking Water Quality, and professor Eli Dueker, microbial ecologist and assistant professor in the Environmental and Urban Studies Program and the Biology Program at Bard College, and Diane Galusha. Another event on Sunday, July 10, from 4-6 p.m. will host Kathleen Nolan, senior research director at Catskill Mountainkeeper in Woodstock, who will moderate a panel, featuring Rebecca Martin and Rachel Marco-Havens, titled “Is Good Water a Common Good?” Both events will be held amidst Cogswell’s installation in the Kleinert/James.

Ashokan Fugues opens on Saturday, July 2 with a reception at 6 p.m. There will be a Gallery walk-through with the artists earlier, at 3 p.m. The exhibition runs through August 14. The Kleinert/ James Center for the Arts is located 36 Tinker Street in Woodstock. For more information, visit www.woodstockguild. org/exhibitions.

unlock a treasure chest full of cultural delights that look both backwards and forwards in time. Some of the offerings seem, on the face of it, to have rather tenuous connections to the Bard Music Festival’s focal composer; but innovative lateral thinking is what the college’s approach to intellectual inquiry is all about.

The 27th annual Bard Music Festival will put “Giacomo Puccini and His World� under the microscope, with “Puccini and Italian Musical Culture� the theme of

Weekend One (August 5 to 7) and “Beyond Verismoâ€? for Weekend Two, August 12 to 14. Puccini is famed for having composed some of the most popular and widely performed works in the standard operatic canon, including Madama Butterfly, La Bohème, Tosca, Manon Lescaut, La Fanciulla del West and Turandot; but the Festival will mainly dust off lesserknown works by the composer and his contemporaries, those who influenced and were influenced by him.

June 24-July 31 / 845-437-5599 / powerhouse.vassar.edu

The first two weeks of SummerScape traditionally focus on dance and theater, respectively. This year is no exception, but finding the links to Puccini is a bit of a puzzler. What the dance and theatrical performances do have in common with one another is much more obvious: Both involve puppets. A quick Google search turns up no apparent interest in puppetry on the composer’s part, but it does disclose that in 1956, long after the composer’s death, Japan’s Bunraku puppet theater performed an adaptation of Puccini’s Madama Butterfly (which was not particularly successful without the music, apparently). And in 2005, Bunraku-style puppets were incorporated into a staging of that same work by Anthony Minghella at the English National Opera.

Are we connecting these dots into any sort of coherent picture yet? Mmm, perhaps not. But both shows sound intriguing even in a vacuum. This weekend, Rosendale master puppeteer, the Redwing Blackbird Theater’s Amy Trompetter, joins choreographer John Heginbotham, formerly of the Mark Morris Dance Group, to present the world premiere of Fantasque. Puccini contemporary Ottorino Respighi adapted a suite of piano works by Giaochino Rossini to create the ballet score La Boutique fantasque, which was performed by Sergei Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes in 1919. In Heginbotham and Trompetter’s entirely new version, “Giant puppets and human dancers join forces to create a fable of a battle of light and darkness, with a fantastical cast of characters featuring

Opera has been an enduring reference point for filmmakers and audiences since the dawn of cinema at the end of the 19th century, precisely the moment of Giacomo Puccini's artistic ascendancy. The 2016 SummerScape Film Series explores the influence of Puccini's work on innovative films in all periods. Special attention will be paid to the cinematic legacy of Luchino Visconti, whose explicitly operatic work has inspired several generations of filmmakers. The films will be screened in the Jim Ottaway Jr. Film Center on the Bard campus on Thursday and Sundays at 7 p.m.

Ticket prices range from $25 to $60.

Then comes another world premiere: Demolishing Everything with Amazing Speed, a contemporary staging of four puppet plays written in 1917 by leading Italian Futurist artist/designer Fortunato Depero, newly rediscovered, translated, designed and directed by Hudson Valleybased, Obie and Bessie Award-winning artist Dan Hurlin. Combining traditional Bunraku puppetry techniques with stateof-the-art technology – from 3-D printing to sound sampling – and a live score from Tony Award-nominated composer/ sound designer Dan Moses Schreier, the production will be mounted in the blackbox LUMA Theater at the Fisher Center.

Depero (1892-1960) is known, among other distinctions, as the author of the manifesto Futurist Reconstruction of the Universe, and for his collaboration with Swiss writer Gilbert Clavel, I Balli Plastici, a ballet for machinelike wooden puppets, simulating the Futurist ideal of technology’s breaking free of human influence. That one was written in 1918,

anticipating a perennially popular theme in science fiction from the 1930s right on up to the present: artificial intelligence that outsmarts and rebels against its creators.

Hurlin unearthed the four Depero puppet plays while doing research under a fellowship at the American Academy in Rome. These short, wordless dramas are precursors to I Balli Plastici and mark the beginning of Depero’s long involvement with performance, as well as his desire to combine all media and disciplines into one comprehensive gesamtwerk. Gathered together as Demolishing Everything with Amazing Speed, the four plays are titled Acrobatic Suicides and Homicides, Automatic Thief, Electric Adventure and Safe. Dialogue-free and packed with surreal imagery, they represent a masterful marriage of playful whimsy with violence and menace.

Suitable for ages 12 and up, this “puppet noir” production will be performed at 7:30 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays, July 7, 8, 9, 14, 15 and 16, and at 2 p.m. on Sundays, July 10 and 17, Wednesday, July 13 and Saturday, July 16. Ticket prices range from $25 to $60.

Sondheim’s Assassins at Center for Performing Arts at Rhinebeck

S

tephen Sondheim has never been afraid to visit the dark side of the stage musical, and with the possible exception of Sweeney Todd, his 1990 work Assassins (with book by John Weidman) may be the darkest and most cynical.

Populated by an infamous lineup of actual and wannabe president-killers, from John Wilkes Booth to John Hinckley, the show poses the question: What goes on inside the minds of people who imagine that murdering a head of state will make America a better place, or their individual lives more meaningful?

Described as “the story of America as seen through its villains,� Assassins takes on added relevance today, as gun violence and political polarization dominate the daily news. So it’s ripe for revival as a vehicle to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Rhinebeck Theatre Society (RTS), which first mounted the show back in 1995 under the direction of Ellen Honig. Now Honig is back to helm Assassins once again, in a production that opens this Friday, July 1 and runs weekends through Sunday, July 17 at the Center for Performing Arts at Rhinebeck. “With people passionately proclaiming what’s right and what’s wrong about America these days, the time is right to bring Assassins back to local audiences,� says Honig. “On the surface, it might seem that the play is about the deranged men and women who seek to murder a president, but for me, it’s really about all of us and the society we’ve created.�

The RTS production features a cast of 22 Hudson Valley actors, singers and dancers. Musical direction is by Paul and JoAnne Schubert, with set and lighting design by Andy Weintraub. Performances begin at 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, with Sunday matinÊes at 3 p.m. Tickets cost $27 general admission, $25 for students and seniors. For reservations, call the Center box office at (845) 876-3080 or visit www.centerforperformingarts.org. The Center for Performing Arts is located at 661 Route 308, about 3.5 miles east of downtown Rhinebeck. – Frances Marion Platt

S

chool’s out for the summer, so kid-friendly movies are needed to provide air-conditioned refuges for families on brutally hot and humid days. Happily, the latest offering from Pixar, while not quite up to the standard of the animation studio’s top-shelf offerings, is entertaining and touching enough to coax even childless adults out of the midday sun.

I’m talking, of course, about Finding Dory, Andrew Stanton’s long-awaited sequel to his immensely successful, eye-popping 2003 undersea adventure Finding Nemo. Much of what worked best in the original film is recycled here, for better or worse; and audiences who liked the first one will be tickled to become reacquainted with many of the original cast of oddball marine characters, from laid-back hipster sea turtle Crush (voiced

by Stanton himself ) to those incredibly annoying seagulls with their endless cries of “Mine! Mine! Mine!� Though a new child actor (Hayden Rolence) had to be recruited to play the little clownfish Nemo, Albert Brooks is back and in fine, fretful form as his overprotective Dad, Marlin.

Best of all, if you’re among the many who thought that the best part of Finding Nemo was Ellen DeGeneres’ fey, funny portrayal of Marlin’s memory-impaired sidekick, Dory the blue tang, is the inescapable fact that she’s now the star of the show. Finding Dory gives us her origin story, recaptured in fits and starts as various stimuli cause grownup Dory’s addled neurons to fire. She has flashbacks to her life with her parents (Diane Keaton

deal of humor is to be found in Hank’s disguises, the chase scenes do become a bit tedious and repetitive after a while.

I suppose that what I found most disappointing about Finding Dory is its failure, given my exaggerated expectations based on the improvements to animation technology in the 13 years since Finding Nemo’s release, to deliver the stunning visuals of reef life that I really wanted: something like an underwater version of the planet Pandora in Avatar. But Marlin, Nemo and Dory’s home base on the Great Barrier Reef doesn’t look much more snorkel-realistic than it did in the first movie, and the characters don’t stay there for long anyway. For my money, too much time is spent languishing in the murky, junk-filled, kelp-overgrown waters of Morro Bay or skittering around the Marine Life Institute’s pipes and labs and corridors.

The pacing of the story is also less smooth and propulsive than Finding Nemo; some of the littl’uns at the 5 p.m. screening that I caught started getting audibly restive not too far into the show.

These are modest complaints, however.

It’s still an enjoyable ride tagging along with the irrepressible Dory, who knows far better than most of us how to take life as it comes and follow her gut when experience and preparation fall short. – Frances Marion Platt

to Ellen DeGeneres talk Dory through one challenge after another. But the downside is that the narrative is in many ways a retread of Nemo’s disappearance in the original movie, and the hazards of captivity are much the same – though on a larger scale, as Dory ends up trapped inside the Quarantine facility of a Marine Life Institute on the California coast. As in the original, where Nemo must do some fanc y finwork on dry land in order to escape from the dentist’s aquarium, much of the danger in Finding Dory is predicated on the need for fish to be out of water.

Luckily, Dory finds aid from an unlikely source with unusual talents for mobility and camouflage: a g r u m p y, traumatized octopus (actually a septipus, as she tactlessly points out) named Hank (Ed O’Neill). Hank, who is terrified of the open ocean, wants Dory’s Quarantine tag so that he can retire to a nice safe aquarium in Cleveland, so he goes to great lengths (including driving a truck) to help transport Dory to where she needs to be, in exchange for the tag.

and Eugene Levy), who try gamely to equip their forgetful wee offspring with the survival skills needed for life in the scary world of the open ocean. But when baby Dory wanders into an undertow and is swept far from home, she doesn’t know how to find her way back.

Until she crosses paths with Marlin, in a panic to rescue his son who has just been scooped up for a dentist’s fishtank, Dory’s disability compels her to lead an isolated existence. And therein lies the moral of our tale: Pretty much every marine creature in Finding Dory has some physical or mental shortcoming that requires c ultivation of other strengths in order to compensate.

Learning to appreciate and make use of those strengths, rather than obsess over someone’s weaknesses, is the lesson that our heroes once again must internalize before all the mayhem occasioned by Dory’s sudden impulsive decision to go find her parents can be resolved.

hen the opportunity to fulfill a lifelong dream presented itself, local artist Mary Anne Erickson grabbed it – not only to satisfy her soul and “fill the creative well,” as Ju-

lia Cameron suggests, but also to make connections with women in the subcontinent of India. “Impressions of India: Surrender to the Journey” is a collection of photographs that she took there: ethereal snapshots of the people and their country.

“I thought they would be cool printed on fabric, like canvas,” Erickson says. “An artist friend, Norm Magnusson, told me that I had to print them on Indian fabric: Dupion silk and cotton; it gave the whole thing a context. I worked closely with master printer Stephen Kerner to create the final prints, which range in size from 30 by 40 inches to eight feet wide. Stephen did a number of proofs for me, and some of the prints just called out to be done on

the silk with its nubs and rich texture. I manipulated the prints myself, and then Stephen tweaked around to enhance the colors, and the ink would end up being absorbed into the fabric. Each print is an individual work of art. I’m doing three prints of each of the images for this show.”

All taken with a pocket-sized Canon Powershot with a highly efficient 32X zoom, the pictures tell a powerful story.

The explosive color is what first strikes a viewer: vibrant and multihued and ubiquitous; then, the gentle tone of people going about their business, which is often joyful, sometimes sobering. Sometimes, the contrast between beauty and abject poverty strikes you, although Erickson says that she avoided pointing her camera

at the more “gritty” scenes of hardship and privation.

The artist was able to get up close when needed, but could never really disappear in the crowd, being a tall blonde white woman. “I think it’s like this in many foreign countries, where people have dark hair and are more dark-skinned: They have such a fascination for people who are light-skinned and have light hair. I was the only blonde in our group, and people just flocked to me. Everybody wanted to get their picture taken with me.” So much for remaining unobtrusive.

Engrossed in Hindu mythology early on, Erickson says that she “knows” that she has lived in India in another life. In this life, she is part of a worldwide initiative

A multifaceted artist who paints and writes, Erickson talks about her favorite place in India: Varanasi, on the Ganges River, where the atmospheric fog and smoke from funeral pyres mix to generate an otherworldly feeling. “We got in this boat at sunset, and a priest was with us to perform a ceremony. I was so in my own world, trying to be reverent and be present to all these millions of souls whose essential beingness had gone up in smoke here through the millennium. “The show is for the most part photos of the landscape, and I personally love things that aren’t in sharp focus. I like the dreamy quality. For me, it’s not about the clarity of the image, but the mood of the image, what feeling the image evokes.

I must have taken a thousand pictures, at least. Editing: That’s what a good artist or writer or photographer does, trying to figure out the most essentially powerful or unique piece.�

The Arts Society of Kingston (ASK) will exhibit the photographs this month.

An opening reception for “Impressions of India� will be held this Saturday, July 2 from 5 to 8 p.m. The photographs will be exhibited until July 30. Regular gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 1 to 6 p.m. and by appointment.

OUTDOOR SCULPTURE EXHIBITION OPENS THIS SUNDAY AT UNISON IN NEW PALTZ

A

long with the big guns like the Storm King Art Center and Art OMI, the mid-Hudson Valley boasts a variety of smaller gems of outdoor sculpture installations awaiting your summertime discovery. One of the most densely packed and delightful of these is the Sculpture Garden at the Unison Arts & Learning Center, located at 68 Mountain Rest Road just west of New Paltz.

Some of the works on view in the five-acre meadow and surrounding woodland there are permanent; others change from year to year. And this Sunday, July 3 from 3 to 6 p.m., Unison will host a reception marking the official opening of its 18th annual outdoor sculpture exhibition, plus a new gallery installation of three-dimensional wall-hung work by David Kucera.

At 5 p.m., attending artists will lead a walk-through of the garden and talk about their work. Featured artwork includes marble pieces by Hanna Eshel; ceramic installations by Deb Goldman, Kaete Shaw, Joy Brown and Bill Shilales; wood sculptures from Nicoli Golici and Ana Golici; stone pieces by Kevin Vanhentenryck, Alex Uribe, William Scholls, Stuart Bigley and Bob Schuler; site-specific installations by Annie O’Neill, Susan Togut, Beth Bailis, Katalin Pazmandi, Steve Spencer, Zack Baker and Kila Bates; large-scale metal pieces by Hans Van de Bovenkamp, Johnny Poux, James Murray, Michiko Rupnow, Matt Pozorski and Michael Poast; and mixed media by Rhonda Hennrich and Masao Gozu.

The indoor gallery space will feature David Kucera’s abstract linear sculpture made from refined concrete, inspired by architectural geometry, Gothic tracery and branching patterns. Unison’s Sculpture Garden is open from dawn to dusk throughout the year. Admission is free. For more information, call (845) 255-1559 or visit www.unisonarts.org. – Frances Marion Platt

called Imagine, a program that helps lift women up from the tracks of dependence and slavery in which so many find themselves, and works to help them gain agency over themselves. She was invited

by David Gershon and Gail Straub of the Empowerment Institute to participate with Imagine in bringing a woman from India to the US. “We all got to know her. She’d founded a group in her community that, for 20 years,

has been helping other women. What the Imagine work added to that was to have her learn how to have them ascertain what it is they want to create in their lives. We went to visit her, and we visited with some of the other women whom we had helped to facilitate. It was extraordinary to hear stories about how their lives had changed – something as simple as starting her own tailoring business, having their daughters go to school.�

ART

Popping Pop’s bubble Art Bastard screening at Upstate Films Woodstock to be followed by reception with painter Robert Cenedella at WAAM

I

n 1811, young poet-to-be Percy Bysshe Shelley was expelled from Oxford University for anonymously publishing a pamphlet titled The Necessity of Atheism. Nearly 150 years later, during the Cold War era, young painter-to-be Robert Cenedella was expelled from the High School of Music and Art in New York City for writing a letter to the principal ridiculing the air raid drills that in those days required students to “duck and cover” under their desks in preparation for a nuclear attack. Sounds more like good sense than satire today, but Cenedella’s little act of rebellion set the tone for a life in the arts that defied (and still does) all the musts, oughts and shoulds of 20th-century cultural trendsetters.

A contemporary of Andy Warhol, Cenedella has been characterized as the “anti-Warhol,” calling out Pop Art as an emperor with no clothes on and rejecting the success that might have come to him much sooner had he been willing to succumb to the lure of crass commercialization. He had the misfortune to fall in love with representational, social-realist styles of art at a time when first abstraction and then ironic cool were all the rage. Even so, over time, Cenedella’s vast canvases, rife with the chaotic beauty of politics, humor, history and humanity, drew admirers from all walks of society – even from the vaunted art patrons who rejected him.

Some characters seem to survive adverse times through sheer orneriness, and today Cenedella has finally become a voice to be reckoned with amongst the art-world cognoscenti. In his youth a student, protégé and friend of German artist George Grosz, Cenedella is now passing on the legacy of Grosz’s approach to art, in the very same room at the Art Students League where Grosz once taught. And he is now the subject of a documentary titled Art Bastard, directed by Victor Kanefsky, that opens on Friday, July 8 at Upstate Films Woodstock. The new film is described as “a portrait of the artist as a young troublemaker, an alternate history of modern art and a quintessential New York story.”

The documentary will be shown at Upstate Films in Woodstock starting on July 8. Better yet, the man himself is coming to the theater on Tinker Street for a special screening followed by a Q & A on Sunday, July 10 at 2 p.m. After the film and talk, there will be a reception for the artist just down the street at the Woodstock Artists Association and Museum (WAAM). Entry to the festivities costs $15 general admission, $12 for seniors and $10 for members of Upstate Films and/or WAAM. This is a terrific opportunity to hear from a gifted, honest, take-no-prisoners iconoclast whose stubborn resistance to the vagaries of aesthetic fashion has been vindicated by time.

FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARY & MUSEUM

Franklin D. Roosevelt gives the first broadcast from his study in the FDR Library on Labor Day in 1941 declaring ,"We shall do everything in our power to crush Hitler and his Nazi forces."

HISTORY

FDR Library to celebrate 75th anniversary Historian Michael Beschloss kicks off the festivities, which include food trucks, music, Bindlestiff Family Cirkus & new Pearl Harbor exhibit

W

hen construction began back in 1939 on America’s first Presidential Library, our nation and our president were still resisting involvement in the conflicts raging in Europe and Southeast Asia. But for America and the world, everything changed drastically over the following two years. 1941 was a pivotal year: Bookended by President Roosevelt’s “Four Freedoms” speech in January and the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in December, the time had come for Americans to stand against totalitarianism and enter the fray.

In the interim and far from the battle, the new Presidential Library in Hyde Park opened on June 30, 1941. FDR had created a national treasure, one he designed, dedicated and donated to the people of the US to be run by the National Archives and Records Administration. Making the papers of his presidency public documents in this way was an unprecedented act. Since that time, every president has followed his example and established a Presidential Library to preserve and make accessible to the American people the records of their presidencies.

With the mission to foster a deeper understanding of the lives and times of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt and of their continuing impact on contemporary life, the Library maintains archives and a research room, manages the museum collections and exhibitions and offers innovative educational programs and public programming. Over the past 75 years, more than 13 million people have walked through the Library’s front doors. If you've never visited the FDR Presidential Library & Museum, this weekend would be a great time to do so.

To commemorate the 75th anniversary, there will be a new special exhibition on Pearl Harbor, titled “Day of Infamy: 24 Hours that Changed History,” in the vanden Heuvel Gallery. Highlighting behind-the-scenes meetings between FDR and his advisors, “Day of Infamy” touches on the shock caused by Japan’s surprise attack, instantly forcing the US into World War II. The account begins on December 7, 1941 and ends 24 hours later when the president delivered his famous address to a joint session of Congress and signed the declaration of war with Japan.

The exhibit includes FDR’s hand-amended first draft of his “Day of Infamy” speech, film of the Pearl Harbor attack, a series of interactive touchscreens that provide visitors with updates on the evolving military situation in the Pacific and audio stations where visitors can access first-person testimony (found in oral histories, diary entries and memoirs) from key individuals who were with FDR on December 7.

The exhibit runs through December 31.

A series of free public events is planned to thank the community and the visiting public for seven-and-a-half decades of support. On Thursday morning, June 30, ceremonial remarks will be offered by historian and author Michael Beschloss to kick things off. The new Pearl Harbor exhibition opens at 12 noon. At 2 p.m., a panel discussion will delve into “A History of the Roosevelt Library.”

On Friday, July 1, visitors can sit in on a book talk, as author William E. Leuchtenburg discusses his book, The American President: From Teddy Roosevelt to Bill Clinton, at 3 p.m. Later that evening, there will be a theatrical performance titled In Their Own Words: The Roosevelts.

Saturday, July 2, will feature a Family Fun Festival on the Lawn, complete with the Bindlestiff Family Cirkus, World War II music and food trucks. Two repeat performances of In Their Own Words: The Roosevelts will be held: one at 4 p.m. and one at 7 p.m.

All 75th anniversary special events are free to the public; admission to the Library and Museum, including the special exhibition, is also free of charge on Thursday and Saturday.

Sausage & Cider Festival at Bad Seed in Highland Just in time for summer holiday cookouts and gatherings, the Bad Seed Cider Company is hosting a sampling festival to introduce locals to their unique craft hard ciders, such as Dry Hard, Belgian Abbey, Bourbon Barrel Reserve, India Pale (also known as IPC), The Farmer, Apple Pie Dry and many more. The Sausage and Cider Festival takes place this weekend at the cidery in Highland, on the very grounds where the young company produces a premium product. At the tasting festival, it’ll feature more than 15 styles of small-batch cider from apples grown in the Hudson River Valley.

Two three-hour-long festival sessions will give visitors plenty of time to wander the grounds and sample the goods.

The Hudson Valley Sausage Company (formerly Elia’s Catering Company and House of Sausage) will be on hand grilling up a variety of juicy sausages and other savory treats. The Cake Artist Café will supply a delicious selection of bitesized desserts (have you tried their cake balls?). Live music tops off the event.

The cidery has been up and running since 2011, when two childhood friends, Albert Wilklow and Devin Britton, pooled their resources and their talents to follow a passion for the fizzy stuff. Using both old and new cider techniques and craft beer influences, Bad Seed makes ciders from 100 percent fresh-pressed apples grown on the sixth-generation Wilklow family farm nearby. Come check out the shiny new tanks and slick tasting room!

Taproom hours from now until August 30 are Sundays from 12 noon to 6 p.m.; closed Saturdays until autumn, when kidand puppy-friendly weekend tours start again. (Autumn tours take visitors through the farm, the cider house and bottling line, and the cellars where the golden liquid turns to sparkling magic.)

But don’t wait until September to test out the crisp flavors of Bad Seed’s ciders.

Bring your thirsty tastebuds (and your ID) to enjoy great ciders, yummy food and live music. The Sausage and Cider Festival will be a ticketed event; tickets for each of the two sessions include all hard cider samplings and a logo tasting glass to take home. Tickets are limited, so get yours at www.badseedhardcider.com/#!events/c66t.

NIGHT SKY

We reach farpoint Our planet at its slowest

E

arth reaches its farpoint on the Fourth of July. This is aphelion, when we are 94 million miles from old Sol. This three-percent increase in our distance since January yields a seven-percent reduction in solar brightness. It doesn’t feel like it. That’s because the Sun’s greater elevation is of more importance to sunray intensity.

But having sunlight seven percent weaker does partially counteract our Northern Hemisphere being maximally tipped sunward. It makes our summers and winters more moderate. In 10,000 years, when we’ll be tipped toward the Sun just as the Sun is nearest, seasons will be much fiercer. Right now we have the best of all worlds.

You’d think this situation would make the Southern Hemisphere very unpleasant. It’s currently their winter because they’re tilted away from the sun, and the Sun is most distant. Shouldn’t their winters be ultrabitter? Turns out, the Southern Hemisphere’s much greater ocean area has such a moderating influence that it balances out their immoderate sunray situation. They ended up with seasons similar to ours.

Another consequence of the Sun now being so far away was spelled out by Johann Kepler in the 17th century. He said that whenever a planet is closest to the Sun, the stronger gravity whips it around at a faster speed. In other words, Earth moves fastest in early January and slowest right now. And not by a little bit: Our planet travels around 67,000 miles per hour on New Year’s Day, and only 65,000 miles per hour right now. Does this variation produce its own consequences?

Our planet travels around 67,000 miles per hour on New Year’s Day, and only 65,000 miles per hour right now.

You bet. If our orbital speed keeps changing but our daily spin is constant, then this affects the Sun’s position in our sky. We created a timekeeping system, a “day,” based on the average interval between the Sun reaching the meridian and its next meridian transit. That average interval is 24 hours. But in January, we’re circling the Sun so quickly that a single axial spin is insufficient to have us again face the Sun the next day. We need to spin for an extra few minutes to face the noon Sun directly again. This throws sundials out of kilter. It makes each day’s highest Sun happen up to 16 minutes later than clock-time noon. And since lunar phases also depend on the Sun’s position, it makes the Full Moon-to-Full Moon interval vary greatly during the year. Isaac Newton said that just thinking about all this gave him a headache.

So we’ll just keep it simple. If you feel sluggish on Independence Day, it may not be due to too many hot dogs or too much humidity. That day, the entire world is at its most lethargic.

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

My blue heaven Lee's delphiniums pay handsome dividends for two years of care

A

lmost two years after my plan was conceived…success. Looking across rows of tomatoes, corn, onions and kale in my vegetable garden, I see tall blue spires of delphiniums that have finally come of age.

The spires required some effort. Coarse roots of the seedlings called for an extra dose of care. Potting soil could easily fall from the roots, exposing them to drying

air, as the seedlings were successfully moved to larger quarters.

And then, once seedlings were planted out just beyond the western fence of the vegetable garden, my chickens threatened them. The poultry enjoy scratching for insects near the bases of plants. Doing so weakens larger plants, even woody shrubs; doing so can kill tender young seedlings.

Chicken wire laid on top of the ground let the delphinium plants grow up through

June 30, 2016

the one-inch openings while preventing chickens’ scratching.

The delphinium show will end any day now, especially with this hot weather. It’s hard to let go of the show – and I don’t necessarily have to.

Sometimes a second, later show can be coaxed from the plants. If the stalks with spent blossoms are cut back to the bottom whorl of leaves, new flowerstalks will spring forth that should bloom again later this season.

Good growing conditions help bring on this second show. That means rich soil and water, as needed. These I have provided for my delphiniums in the form of compost topped with a leafy mulch, and drip irrigation. “Good growing conditions” also mean cool growing temperatures, which I cannot provide.

Even under the best of conditions, delphiniums, although perennials, are short-lived perennials. Before next spring I’ll get some fresh seed (freshness of seed is important for good germination) and start a bevy of new plants. For the freshest Since

seed possible, I’ll collect them from my own plants by gathering whole stalks when they are partly dry and then shaking out seeds. Planted immediately and kept slightly cool, they should sprout in a few weeks and flower next June. Sometimes they even self-sow.

Self-sown delphinium seedlings are most welcome; not so for many other self-sowers – that is, weeds.

Now is the time when many summer weeds pick up steam. Now is also the time when good gardeners and mediocre gardeners take different paths.

I want to be a good gardener, so I’m planning, immediately after I dot the last word of this report, to go out and weed.

My garden is generally not very weedy, mostly because I never (yes, never) till or otherwise turn over the soil, and because I snuff out small weeds with an annual mulch of compost in planting beds and wood chips in paths. (Mulching and never tilling also bring many other benefits, such as encouraging more vibrant soil life, better use of water and, well, not having to till.)

Still, weeds have made inroads. I can’t help but remind myself that every weed that goes to seed could self-sow to spawn myriad more of the same – for example, over 50,000 seeds per pigweed plant, or almost 20,000 seeds per dandelion plant!

Perennial weeds, unchecked, build up energy reserves in their roots and spread by traveling roots, as well as by selfsowing. Checking growth of these weeds now makes for a bountiful fall garden and many fewer weeds next year.

Mostly, I just bend over and pull out weeds, coaxing them out, if need be, with my hori-hori knife. Where weeds are too numerous to make one-on-one treatment too tedious, I slide my winged weeder or wire hoe along the ground to dislodge them all at once. I gather up most pulled and hoed weeds and cart them over the compost. Sweet revenge: light-, nutrientand water-stealing weeds recycled into garden goodness.

Amongst the weedy interlopers are some worth separating out, for eating. Among my favorites are pigweed, which makes an excellent cooked green, and purslane, very healthful and tasty if doctored up correctly, good suggestions for which can be found in Foraging & Feasting: A Field Guide and Wild Food Cookbook by Dina Falconi and Wendy Hollender.
