CHECK IT OUT Micro managers Sloop Brewing expands, opens tasting room at Vosburgh Orchards in Elizaville

“O

nce you put the yeast in, you have to call it beer.” So proclaimed Mark Stier, farm director at Vosburgh Orchards in Elizaville, as Sloop Brewing’s brewmaster Justin Taylor and head of sales Adam Watson loaded up a shiny new vat on the second floor of a restored barn with a dose of the live culture needed to make boiled barley mash start to ferment. It

was the tenth of June, 2015, and glasses of Red C IPA were handed around to toast the launch of the very first batch of beer to be brewed at Sloop’s new Vosburgh headquarters.

Downstairs, contained chaos still reigned in a former fruit-packing room that was halfway through its transformation into a tasting room and gift shop, hopefully to be ready for visitors by the time that first beer batch would

be done. Built in the 1830s, the postand-beam structure had “started as a cow barn,” according to Stier’s maternal uncle, Arnie Vosburgh, the Cornelltrained owner of Vosburgh Orchards and great-great-great-grandson of Gilbert J. Vosburgh, who purchased the farm in 1847. The surrounding farmland has been used at different periods to grow rye, raise poultry and pasture dairy cattle, until “My grandfather turned it into a fruit farm when he took it over,” related Stier.

Today, the orchards are mature, producing apples and pears and inciting Uncle Arnie to dream of starting a farm cidery. The family grows corn, pumpkins and cut flowers as well. Fields are hayed annually, and a honey producer from Clermont keeps his bees there. All this

humming agricultural activity goes on thanks in large part to a Purchase of Development Rights deal brokered last year by Scenic Hudson and the Columbia Land Conservancy, using farmland preservation funding from the federal Natural Resources Conservation Service, a subagency of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The injection of funds has enabled the Vosburgh family to renovate the historic barn and expand their business — including the provision of a new home for Sloop Brewing.

Taylor grew up in New Paltz, where his father Jim took up homebrewing as a hobby in 1989. Justin met Watson during their college days, when they were both working at the Loft restaurant, in the building at the corner of Routes 299 and 208 that now houses A Tavola Trattoria.

Together they started brewing their own beer. Later, married and living in Beacon, Watson began taking samples of their products to the local farmers’ market and found an enthusiastic reception: “People started coming back for seconds,

while waiting for the new beer to brew, Watson and Taylor have been making the rounds of watering holes throughout the region, promoting their expansion with “tap takeover� nights featuring Sloop beers.

They have also been a regular presence at Hudson Valley beer and food festivals, sometimes creating a special brew for the occasion — like Smoking Fiend, a “barbecued� beer made from smoked grain spritzed with bourbon, “served with a bacon garnish,� according to Watson.

The tasting room has a stylish-but-cozy retro look, its walls covered with worn, rustic wooden clapboards salvaged from the outside of the barn during renovation.

Old rotating metal stools sit in front of a beautiful bar, 13 feet long, made in Amish country from a thick slab of flitchcut walnut. Overhead hang handsome, Steampunk-style antiqued brass lighting fixtures. On the wall is a chalkboard where the specials of the day are scrawled. Outdoor beer-garden seating is planned for this fall.

Vosburgh Orchards are located at 1061 County Route 19 in Elizaville. Per the Sloop Brewing website at www. sloopbrewing.com, “visitors are more than welcome to stop by and say hello!�

If you’re a beer-fancier at all, I recommend that you take them up on that offer very soon. And look for their fresh, tasty, locally made products at a tavern, restaurant or beer store near you. — Frances Marion Platt

then thirds, then fourths,� he recalled. So the two friends applied for a commercial brewer’s license and retrofitted Taylor’s Poughkeepsie garage into a nanobrewery.

By December 2011, the Sloop Brewing Company had become a reality.

Marketing and delivering their products themselves, first to farmers’ markets and then to restaurants and pubs, Watson and Taylor quickly found demand outstripping their capacity to supply. Nano needed to be pumped up to the micro level.

Through their acquaintance with Stier, they conceived a seemingly grandiose plan: to form a partnership with the Vosburgh family, relocate and expand their operation into the historic barn as part of its restoration and repurposing.

Craft Beer Guild Distributing of New York, based in New Paltz, agreed to distribute their product once there was enough of it. nd now they’re well on their way, with a system of three 60-barrel and two 30-barrel fermenters providing the capacity to produce 4,500 barrels a year of their regular product line — Red C IPA, Waves of Grain pale ale, Galaxy Farm farmhouse ale and Sauer Peach Berlinerweisse — and several seasonal and special releases. The brews are complex, multilayered, full of flavor and body, several of them dry-hopped; even tipplers dubious of IPAs (like this correspondent) find their hoppier products

well-rounded and thoroughly enjoyable.

An official Grand Opening date for the Elizaville tasting room has not yet been

announced, nor are hours of operation being publicized; but Sloop is now informally serving the public there. And

STAGE Exit, pursued by a bear Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival delivers a bittersweet, color-drenched Winter’s Tale

S

ad to say, the summer arts festival season is winding down, with many of the mid-Hudson’s annual cultural mainstays already wrapped up for 2015. But you still have a couple more weeks to catch one or more of the fabulous outdoor performances put on at spectacular Boscobel in Garrison by the Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival (HVSF). Last month Almanac Weekly reviewed the troupe’s innovative five-person production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream; here’s a bit of what to expect if you act now and grab tickets for one of the final performances of The Winter’s Tale on August 23, 26 or 29.

Traditionally, William Shakespeare’s plays have been divided up into the categories of comedies, tragedies and

histories. But as he moved toward the end of his career, the great playwright apparently began to feel dissatisfied with black-and-white happy or sad endings.

His “late romances� tend to mix up their emotional tones more than his

earlier works and feature more morally ambiguous heroes and villains. Based on Robert Greene’s 1588 prose romance Pandosto, The Winter’s Tale does this in spades: The first three acts, set in Sicilia, are very dark, while the fourth and fifth acts, set in Bohemia, are light and zany.

Like the jealousy-maddened Moor in Othello, King Leontes of Sicilia (Thomas Michael Hammond) becomes unjustly convinced that his wife Hermione (Francesca Choy-Kee) has been unfaithful with his best friend, King Polixenes of

Bohemia (Jason O’Connell), and that the baby that she is carrying is not his own offspring. Leontes puts Hermione in prison, and she is reported dead by her waiting-woman Paulina (Gabra Zackman) shortly after the king orders his servant Antigonus (Triney Sandoval), Paulina’s husband, to abandon Hermione’s newborn daughter in some wilderness to die. Eventually Leontes is persuaded of his wife’s innocence by a message from the Oracle of Delphi, but by then it is too late for him to do anything but repent. Off

Cocoon’s Soiree in the Parlor

S

hould you ever happen to overhear your kids wondering, “Is that all there is?” in regards to the non-stop activities thrown at them, like sports and music lessons and electronic games and homework, and should you ever be looking to fill an empty slot on the last Monday of each month or just feel the itch to explore a new avenue to creativity for the whole family — you should drop in to experience Cocoon Theatre’s Soiree in the Parlor series.

Recognizing that the arts are “a fundamental need of the human spirit,” Cocoon Theatre, a non-profit performance and educational organization founded by Andres and Marguerite San Millan, has been generating a wide variety of opportunities for young people for over two decades. Their puppetry and story-telling programs delight audiences of all ages, and they’ve taken their work into schools, festivals, hospitals, private functions and other events, as well. They offer classes in theater, dance, and improvisation, working to expand the aesthetic experience of students and audiences alike. Workshops at Cocoon are designed “to foster the growth of the individual and to share in the building of sound communities and a strong world society.”

True to this mission, the Soiree in the Parlor programming includes readings, dance performances, poetry, and music, and never the same thing twice. This month’s Soiree is slated to be a unique evening of Basque culture and music exploration. Jon Urbieta, Cocoon’s artist-in-residence this summer, is the director of the Loiola Kultur Etxea in Donosti/San Sebastian in Spain. He considers himself a “curating artist” who brings together musicians and media to create a truly livewire experience for his young audiences. Urbieta has worked with renowned Basque figures as well as international world class artists in the performing arts.

At this month’s Soiree, you’ll learn a bit about the traditions, language, food, and history of one of the oldest cultures in Europe. Artists and audience members will play the txalaparta, an ancient percussion instrument, still in use around the world in the hands of vibrant young Basques. Urbieta and friends will offer samples of Basque food, short film clips, singing, dancing and a bit of instruction in the Basque language.

Check it out next Monday. Soirees are suitable for all ages. Bring a friend or two,

to a cheery start, no?

But in classical literature as in fairy tales, infant princes and princesses left to be devoured by wild beasts or cast upon the waves have a remarkable talent for getting rescued and brought up in happy poverty, ignorant of their true parentage.

So Act IV introduces us to Perdita (Susannah Milonzi), now 16, raised by an Old Shepherd (Nance Williamson) and about to plight her troth to Florizel (Babak Tafti), King Polixenes’ disguised son. This announcement is supposed to be made at a sheep-shearing festival, which is infiltrated by a clever, scoundrelly pickpocket/peddler named Autolycus (Mark Bedard).

It is here, in perhaps the most Bohemian of Bohemias ever to grace a stage, that the color palette of the HVSF production of A Winter’s Tale switches from somber blackwhite-and-grey formal wear to a riotous patchwork of hippie garb (props to the costume design crew for their terrifically mismatching ensembles of lurid thriftstore finds), while the tone of the play changes abruptly from court tragedy to pastoral comedy. By the end, divided families are reconciled, though some tragedies cannot be amended. It’s not quite the kind of wrap-up that one expects from the lighter side of Shakespeare, with all loose ends neatly tucked and tied; and uncharacteristically, much of the

resolution happens offstage, reported secondhand by witnesses.

Under the direction of the Festival’s new artistic director, Davis McCallum, HVSF does a fabulous job with this “problem play,” vividly punching up the contrasts between first and second half rather than trying to gloss them over. The company’s acting is splendid as ever: The redoubtable Williamson is hilarious in drag; Bedard hams it up winningly as he cons and cozens the simple shepherds; and when Zackman is onstage, you can’t take your eyes off her commanding presence.

All in all, you’re in for a highly entertaining evening if you move fast and catch The Winter’s Tale before it’s gone.

Ticket prices vary depending of day of the week and seating location. To order, visit http://hvshakespeare.org/whats-playing/ buy-tickets.html. All performances begin

or bring your grandmother — she might like to sing and dance, and try her hand at playing the txalaparta. Potluck dinner follows the entertainment, so bring a dish of something delicious to share. You and your kids won’t be disappointed.

Summer in the

fun

Rondout PHOTOS BY DION OGUST

W

ith summer underway, Kingston’s downtown waterfront Rondout District is blossoming. Boaters from as far away as New York City, Chesapeake Bay and West Palm Beach tie up their yachts and sailboats at the city docks, and in the evenings, the sidewalk tables in front of the restaurants are full.

Every third Friday evening of the month, sidewalk vendors selling an array of artisan crafts and foods, live music and wine-tastings and other events in the row of historic storefronts lure crowds up Broadway Hill. For a long time, visitors tended to congregate on West Strand and the lower block of Broadway, but the Third Friday Night Market and the ever-expanding array of enticing retail shops and businesses are proof that the commercial area is larger than two blocks (besides, the hill isn’t that steep – and people can also park farther up the street and walk down).

Popular events and festivals centered along the waterfront bring thousands of people downtown. The Rip Van Winkle conducts tours of the Hudson River most every evening, and on occasion, the Clearwater, a recreation of an authentic Hudson River sloop, has evening sails leaving from the Kingston docks. For native Kingstonians, the Rondout feels like our own in-town resort, with shades of Provincetown, Saratoga and Cape May. Once a booming canal town and the busiest Hudson River port between New York and Albany, the Rondout almost died following the destruction of much of the area in a 1960s-era urban renewal project. Its long and fitful revival began when artists, bold entrepreneurs and investors willing to take a risk bought up the remaining buildings for a song and restored them. Key to its development as a tourist center was the opening of the Hudson River Maritime Museum (HRMM) in 1980. Founded by a group of people who had worked on the river before the steamboat and barge traffic died, the museum is the only institution in the world dedicated to the maritime history of the Hudson River.

Its location on the Rondout Creek a block from lower Broadway is immediately identifiable by the tugboat Mathilda, which is perched dramatically on the grounds. Acting executive director Russell Lange and curator Allynne Lange, who has worked at the museum for 32 years, oversee a collection of approximately 25,000 items.

Artifacts from the Mary Powell, the handsome late-19th century dayliner that was based in Kingston, and other historic craft are on display in the main exhibition space, evoking a vanished world of glamorous steamboat travel on the Hudson, a river crowded with tugs powering long lines of barges and river shores dusty from the manufacture of cement and brick. Brass boat lanterns, an enormous ship’s wheel, a lifeboat, a gorgeous carved and painted lunette (part of the Powell’s paddlewheel cover), chairs from the night boats, sextants and signal bells, flagpoles topped with gold balls and wooden models of tugs and steamboats, in some cases made by retired workers, are among the objects of fascination. Some of the treasures in the voluminous archives are rare photographs of the schooners and sloops that tied up at the dock.

Particularly popular are the two iceboats, one of which measures an astounding 50 feet long and is set up as if it were about to zoom across the ice. (There’s also a video of iceboats in action.) School kids have fun in the recreated tugboat pilothouse and the mockup of a section of the cabin of Henry Hudson’s Half Moon. There’s also an exhibit featuring a

selection of a recently acquired collection of 1930s black-and-white photographs of New York Harbor and the working life of the Hudson River waterfront by Alfred Sandler, who worked for Life Magazine and other national news magazines.

This year’s exhibit, which is up through the fall (the museum is open from May to October), focuses on lighthouses of the Hudson. It chronicles the duties and lives of the keepers and their families, the passing panorama of the river with which they interacted and the history of the 12 original structures. It includes a waist-high model of the second lighthouse at Kingston (replaced by the current yellow-brick structure). Built in 1867, the bluestone lighthouse was very similar to the preserved brick lighthouse at Saugerties. Two other lighthouse survivors are located at Esopus Meadows — the only wooden lighthouse on the river — and Hudson/Athens.

The second-northernmost lighthouse was the 1830 brick-and-stone Coxsackie Lighthouse, which was known as “Old Maids’ Light” (it was maintained by two women) before being torn down in the 1940s. Women played a prominent role in maintaining the lighthouses. For example, Catherine Murdock maintained the Kingston Lighthouse for 50 years, raising two children who commuted to school by rowboat. The exhibit also features a Fresnel lens, a technological improvement that used a series of prisms to intensify and focus the radiating light. A couple of years ago, Kingston became the winter berth for the sloop Clearwater after volunteers raised the funds and subsequently built a handsome barn on the grounds of the Maritime Museum as a maintenance center. The barn is also used by the Maritime Museum for festivals and events. The HRMM also plans to open a boatbuilding school for local youth in the former Rosita’s restaurant, which it

acquired earlier this year. The design has been completed and structural changes, such as raising the ceiling, are being accomplished with the help of volunteers.

Large windows will enable the public to observe the assembly of the boats, and part of the construction process will take place on the grounds.

The school, which will be launched next year, will initially construct 27-footlong rowboats called pilot gigs, modeled after the traditional rowboats once used in New York Harbor, according to Jim Kricker, an accomplished boatbuilder and woodworker (he serves as master carpenter of the Clearwater), who will serve as head boatbuilder. (A model rowboat has already been donated.) The building of such boats can accommodate various levels of skill, and when completed, the young builders could also race them in regattas (the boats seat eight). Lange said that the intent was to work with inner-city kids – teens from BOCES and Kingston High School are likely candidates, and a scholarship program is in the works – and the hope is that the school would eventually be expanded to include small sailboats.

O

ther cultural anchors in the Rondout are the Trolley Museum, located on the other side of East Strand, which sponsors rides on a historic trolley out to Kingston Point on weekends; the Reher Bakery Center of Immigrant Culture, a preserved storefront dating from the early 20th century that the Jewish Federation of Ulster County is restoring; and the Arts Society of Kingston (ASK), which just finished its renovation of a stunning theater on the second floor.

ASK’s two galleries are bustling on the city’s First Saturday gallery openings, held every month. A few doors down is the Storefront Gallery, which is also buzzing with visitors on First Saturday.

Karmabee owner Karen Berelowitz sells her whimsical hand-printed designs on cards, tee-shirts, trivets and other items, as well as jewelry, clothing and crafts by other local artisans.These newcomers are building on the achievements of established business owners, such as Nancy Donskoj, who runs a bed-andbreakfast above her Storefront Gallery, and neighbors Larry Zalinsky and B. C. Gee, owners of the Rondout Inn and founders of the Night Market. Gee reports that the area’s B & Bs now collectively total 15 rooms; often all are booked. Church des Artistes, a charming 1860s church owned by composer and musician Peter Wetzler and artist/poet Julie Hedrick, which is located on nearby Wurts Street, has introduced a number of residents to the area (including Drapkin and his wife, Theresa, who left the City and bought a house in the area after a stay at the church). Both the longtime and newer Rondout businesses support and work with such community organizations as the Kingston Land Trust and the O Positive Festival, helping raise all boats.

T

he Rondout has long been known for its restaurants, and in the evenings especially (though lunch is also

growing in popularity), it’s the cluster of excellent eateries that draws the crowds.

With its excellent Italian food (the mussels in marinara sauce are a personal favorite), Savona’s Trattoria does a booming business; and besides its sidewalk tables, it offers outdoor dining on a large patio in the summer. Other excellent choices include Mint (featuring the excellent Northern Italian cooking of Graziano Tecchio, brother to Alessandra, who owns Dolce), Ship to Shore, Mariner’s Harbor, Mole Mole and, a few blocks away on Abeel Street, Armadillo, which was the first restaurant to open in the area decades ago and continues to attract crowds for its Mexican specialties.

Frank Guido, owner of Mariner’s Harbor, recently opened another restaurant after taking over the defunct Steel House restaurant. Located in a former foundry with exposed industrial wood beams, it has the best waterfront setting in the city. Ole Savannah specializes in barbecue, and sitting on its spacious deck on a warm evening, cooled by river breezes and glimpsing the Hudson beyond the glittering expanse of the creek, is surely one of the most pleasurable ways to while away the summer. How nice to know that it only gets better when you venture up Broadway Hill and suddenly feel like you don’t have to go to the City anymore for culture; the city has come here.

The Kingston Museum of Contemporary Art (KMoCA), located on Abeel Street, a five-minute walk from lower Broadway, and the One Mile Gallery, a five-minute drive away (it’s located on Abeel just past the rail trestle), both exhibit some of the area’s edgiest art, often imported from Brooklyn.

Despite the presence of several empty storefronts and a midweek pace that lags behind the weekend activity, there’s a definite sense of momentum in the Rondout. A new generation of entrepreneurs is injecting fresh energy and a welcome sophistication into the retail mix.

Just walk up the west side of lower Broadway. Milne’s At-Home Antiques & Design, which carries museum-quality antiques in its capacious space, as well as fun, more affordable items such as vintage light fixtures, garden accessories and crockery, caters to an ever-growing clientele of second-homeowners. Milne’s also does its own custom-designed furniture, and it was contracted to redesign the US stores for Fred Perry, a clothing brand based in England. The Kingston Wine Company, which features a large map of Europe and notations for the main wine regions drawn on a chalkboard, has developed a following, thanks to its boutique selection and friendly and knowledgeable proprietor, Michael Drapkin.

established businesses: With the closing of many quality clothing chains in the area, the hip quality clothes of Next Boutique, on West Strand, are more appealing than ever. Over on Abeel, Flowers by Maria, located in renovated mid-19th-century firehouse, does a booming business. There are also two hair salons, a motorcycleseat upholsterer and leathercrafter, a city visitors’ center and a holistic health provider. Coming soon is a wine bar, with renovations of one of Broadway’s fabulous historic storefronts nearing completion.

Farther up Broadway Hill is another relatively new business: Grounded, a chic bakery, café and bistro with a farm-totable, European-inspired menu. Owner Linda Laestadius, a native of Sweden who has a successful catering business, also sells her homemade concoctions to go, and the restaurant has become such a popular place for brunch that it’s considering taking reservations.

While Grounded’s almond croissants are to die for, so are the crêpes served at Dolce, another breakfast, brunch and lunch place on lower Broadway.

An added attraction are the dozens of Fauve-styled paintings of local artist Todd Samara, which are inspired by the Rondout’s cluster of 19th-century houses and river setting, lining the brick walls.

From Larry Hoppen to David Spinozza, to Brian Ray, who’s with Paul McCartney now...David Sancious, all of them are on there. I had so many good recordings throughout the years and no place to put them.” All the work mixing and mastering the recording was done locally. “It turned out to be interesting project musically and sonically.”

The recording includes the hits, played with some of the original players, Peter Bunetta, Rick Chudacoff, Arno Lucas, as well as others who were in bands during the 1980s and 90s like Annie Lang, Tom Nicolson and Debbie Lan. “That kicked off the next period, where Larry (Hoppen) was in full time and David Sancious...Then when Larry passed away and the band went through changes, no one lived around here anymore, a newer version became the New York band...” That included guitarist David Spinozza and pianist Clifford Carter.

“The new band is the one that played the later material. At some point there will be a volume 2, because there’s so much stuff that didn’t fit in...”

A twist to the marketing will have the new CD only sold at shows, “until touring season is over, at least. I’ll decide in 2016 if I make it available or not. I’m rolling it out here, selling it on the tour I’ve been on all summer. In a way, it’s a thank you to the people who come out to the live shows. Many have been supporting me since before ‘Steal Away,’ back in the 70s.

It’s nice that they get first crack at it.”

Dupree ready to roll Holiday concert set for Labor Day weekend at Opus 40

H

ere comes Labor Day weekend and Robbie Dupree is ready with a new recording and show that he will unveil at a traditional, beautiful spot for a concert, the amazing Opus 40, which has long hosted end of summer musical festivities.

There are actually two area shows, one this weekend, at 7 p.m. Saturday, August 29 at The Falcon in Marlboro, before the big holiday show, at 5 p.m. Saturday, September 5, at Opus 40, Harvey Fite’s magnificent 6.5 acre environmental bluestone sculpture at 50 Fite Road in Saugerties.

At the same time, Dupree has a new recording ready for those who will attend the show. This will be his 13th release, dating back to 1980 when he was nominated for a Grammy for the hit “Steal Away,” followed by another, “Hot Rod Hearts.” Most are filled with original songs (though he did do an EP of covers back in 2012, entitled Arc of a Romance). This new one is entitled Anthology: Live 19982014, and is a collection of performances throughout that period.

“This one includes an array of all the people I worked with during that period

JAZZ, BLUES AND R & B

The Doctor Will See You. Now.

or this new round of shows, Robbie will have Doug Yowell on drums, David Spinozza on guitar, Manny Quintana on percussion, Deidra Broderick, keyboards, Bill Harris on saxophone.

Bonham at Bearsville

L

ong time area resident Tracy Bonham has never sounded quite so Catskill as she does on two simultaneously released singles in advance of a forthcoming full length, “Luck” and “Wax & Gold.” The former addresses the subject of romantic nihilism (or nihilistic romance?) in a moody, southwestern-tinged roots rock cruiser tangentially allied to the Waits-inspired, sophisticated noir of Bonham’s last full-

Chicago, Earth, Wind & Fire

T length, 2010’s Mast of Manhatta. On the sunnier and drum-less “Wax & Gold,” Bonham really renews her Ulster County barn folk vows and her citizenship in the land of Seeger and Helm. But, this being Bonham, you can always count on a few high-IQ tweaks and subtle surprises in the formula. In this case, it’s an elongated main melodic phrase length that finishes on an odd number, reminding us, as high-grade retro often does, of all the graceful eccentricities of the old ways.

Bonham’s Saturday, August 29 show at the Bearsville Theater is billed as and an “& Friends,” which typically means the lineup is at least a little TBD. Look to the cast of characters on the new singles for some clues, though, as it is thick with local notables like guitarist/producer Kevin Salem, Amy Helm, and Langhorne Slim. The show begins at 9 p.m. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased at www. bearsvilletheater.com. The Bearsville

he band Chicago’s comfy and privileged niche in the “lite rock” bin must really offend the band’s early fans, the ones who were there when the Chicago Transit Authority was arguably the first rock band to treat a horn section as meat, not gravy, on their nervy, progressive and rocking early records. Before you go blaming Peter Cetera for the band’s wimpification, please acknowledge that Cetera was the nimble bassist on all the good early stuff

too, when keyboardist Robert Lamm, Trombonist James Pankow and the late guitarist Terry Kath were the principal songwriters.

Also coming out of Chicago at the turn of the ‘70s was drummer Maurice White’s legendry project Earth, Wind, and Fire, a funky outfit that blended soul, rock, jazz and pop in a very different way. After an excellent debut in 1971, EWF really hit their stride as innovators and as hit makes on a run of mid-‘70s records that are the still the holy grail of sophisticated funky pop, starting with 1975’s That’s the Way of the World from which comes “Shining Star.”

City mates and co-innovators of modern horn pop, Chicago and Earth, Wind & Fire unite for a “blow out” on the Heart and Soul tour, which arrives at the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts on Tuesday, Sept 1 at 7:30. Tickets $69, $99, $109, $129 Reserved; $37.50 Lawn, and are available at http://www.bethelwoodscenter.org.

Hudson Valley Hafla at ASK

H

afla, from the Arabic, means get-together, a party or ceremonial gathering, staged for an intimate number of friends or whole crowd. At 7:30 p.m. Friday, August 28, a hafla is happening at Arts Society in Kingston, one that brings the Ishtar Vintage Bellydance Band to town to perform and accompany exotically costumed dancers. In the Middle East, bellydancing has two distinct social contexts — as a folk or social dance and as a performance art.

Both aspects come into play when groups of dancers join in improvisational “tribal style” dancing, an entertainment style gaining in popularity with Hudson Valley bellydancers.

Once voted as Pittsburgh’s Best Underground Band, Ishtar Vintage Bellydance Band turns out its own interpretation of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean folk music, fusing traditional mid-20th century bellydancing songs with elements of surf rock. Thus, BellyRock evolved, and has spread from the east coast to Anchorage, Alaska, being played for world renowned dancers at bellydance performances and festivals everywhere. Comprised of Melissa Murphey on clarinet, Jeff Chmielarski on electric bass, Ian Green on percussion, Amy Green on saxophone, Tom Estlack on guitar, with Julian Broughton on darbuka, and Ayleeza Quatrocchi on riq, the band transports dancers and listeners alike to another place altogether.

Now Ishtar will play at ASK behind some of the best bellydancers in the Hudson Valley — a lineup that includes Angelique, Ayleeza, Alexia, Donna Eileen, Donna Barrett, Reshkiga, Shari, Willow, Francesca Cerame and Andriel Tribal Energies.

Behold! New Lebanon Debunking and demystifying artful rural skills

B

ehold! New Lebanon is a celebration of the folkloric. It’s a museum without walls. It’s a regeneration of the rich historical and cultural heritage of community through real life education. It’s all that and a fun opportunity to engage in whatever interests you in the offerings of 60 different tour programs over the course of the summer. Now coming up on its ninth weekend of tours, this living Museum of Contemporary Rural American Life has already doubled attendance over the run of its 2014 pilot. “Our visitors, young and old, are enchanted by their Behold! experience,” says Ruth J. Abram, president and founder of the museum. “They are grateful for this unique opportunity to experience small town rural life up close and personal.”

Located in a Columbia County community, where the townspeople have been only too willing and eager to participate by sharing their unique passions and skills, the living museum offers tours such as visits with a potter, a hops farmer, an artisan coffee-bean importer and roaster, a jazz musician, the sculpture-studded garden of a famed kinetic artist, theater set designers, an auctioneer, a race track operator/mechanic, a sausage maker and much more. On any given Saturday, visitors can select among several consecutive programs lasting about 90 minutes.

The presenters, local residents who take on the roles of “Rural Guides,” welcome visitors to their farms, studios and workspaces, where they practice cooking, farming, cattle raising, wood-working, foraging — work that highlights traditional skills and introduces innovative new ways to live in the country.

The programming for Saturday, August 29, continues the mission to “debunk and demystify” the artful skills of living rural, as practiced by the residents of New Lebanon. “The Printed Word” gives visitors a hands-on demonstration of old-time printing presses, with Sharon Koomer and Jerry Grant showing how to produce hand-printed cards. This indoor tour gives you a new appreciation of what it once took to exercise the hard-fought right to freedom of speech not so long ago. Next, a tour of Elm Tree Mill, conducted by Fionna Lally and Joe Ogilvie (the family that now lives in the mill), offers an unprecedented opportunity to look back to the 18th century. The Elm Tree Mill helped make New Lebanon famous when President Theodore Roosevelt lived in the White House — he insisted that his pancakes be

prepared only from Elm Tree Mill buckwheat. The next stop is with master jeweler and jewelry designer Heather (Van Oort) Naventi, who busts myths about jewelry and gemstones, demonstrating how to distinguish fake from real, and showing you how to detect flaws in diamonds. For anyone who brings a piece of broken jewelry, she’ll recommend the simple repairs that will make it wearable again.

(DROP CAP) And in the late afternoon, the Johnson Family Homestead opens its gates for a tour of an age-old system of family farming, where everything is interconnected. Visitors will learn how herding breeds of farm dogs — at this farm, Border Collies, are trained and worked. Young visitors will be encouraged to participate, and everyone who might like to own a farm dog of any breed will be given pointers. A walk in the family’s garden to pick ripe vegetables and to gather weeds to feed to the poultry will delight all ages. This culminating tour is held outdoors, so visitors should dress for walking in woods and fields with heavy shoes or boots and a hat. Sunscreen and bug repellent are advised.

Program director Caitlin Coad is documenting the Rural Guides’ stories and skills and other aspects of small-town living through audio interviews and photography.

She says, “Folklorists see art in the creativity of everyday life, so when you strive for quality in the land you farm, the food you cook or the way you dress, that’s art.

It’s my goal as a folklorist to document these skills and this traditional knowledge that largely go unrecorded, but are so essential to our identity and understanding of each other.”

Tour shuttle buses depart from the Behold! Station and Store located on State Route 20. Advance ticket purchase is recommended for all programs. Tours will continue through September 26, so check the Behold web site for what’s on the schedule over the next few weeks.

Underground Settlement by Laura Moriarty .

Contextual Threads at Wired Gallery

W

hen Wired Gallery owner Sevan Melikyan invited Highland artist (and, by the way, recipient of the Congressional Service Award for her varied efforts to support the arts) Elisa Pritzker to curate a collaborative show, she immediately thought of her local contemporaries Mimi Czajka Graminski, Patricia Fabricant, Laura Moriarty. Their ideas came together around “the threads that are visible and others that are more subtle,” interlacing the four similar-but-unique artists and their works. Contextual Threads speaks to each artists’ inspiration and working method. Melikyan notes the commonality amongst them that justifies the title: The integral thread of time or culture,

and certainly the fact that they are all female artists.

“There is a discussion between the walls and the artists,” says Pritzker, inferring the organic process of hanging a show.

“The metaphor — thread — unites all of us through color, material, pattern; and the outcome of our work is that connection.

I’ve worked with each of them before, and I have a connection with the way they each work — their strategy, their commitment, their passion. We all worked together to put this show on.” All told, the four artists have garnered a phenomenal array of accolades, awards, grants, and impressive resume entrees. The collaboration—seeing their works on the four walls of one room at once — will make for a visual extravaganza.

Moriarty’s freestanding sedimentary beds — three-dimensional paintings — are like vertical slabs of the earth. Taking poetic license with geology, she applies layers of solid pigmented beeswax, one on top of another, creating cross-sectional records depicting the vast time/space continuum. Like the stratified sediment and rock one’s sees along fractured cliff sides, Moriarty’s pieces enfold and embed and distill. “My work illustrates my fascination, not only with the intricately stratified forms of rocks, but also with their metaphorical evocation of human psychology, memory, history and time.” Trained in hand papermaking and otherwise self-taught, the artist uses forms, colors, textures and patterns to activate the same processes that shape and reshape the earth: heating and cooling, erosion, subduction, friction, enfolding, weathering, slippage. (http:// www.lauramoriarty.com/) abricant’s work is a meditation on color and line. She writes, “My aim is to move beyond thought and conscious intent into a pure visual, visceral space. I draw inspiration from such diverse sources as Aboriginal songline paintings, Islamic tiles, and contemporary process-driven art. The meditative aspect relates both to my process and to the viewer’s experience. I want your eyeballs to vibrate, a little.” Working in gouache, woodwork, silkscreen, drawings and watercolors, the artist creates fractal designs, chaotic and irregular mandala-like pieces that serve to engage the eye and mind. With primary focus on art book and cookbook design, Fabricant’s immersion into color compels

F

the viewer “to move beyond thought and conscious intent into a pure visual, visceral space.” (www. patriciafabricant.com) Working in paint, plaster, fabric, other unexpected materials, textile sculptor/ painter Graminski combines traditional handcrafts with unusual materials and patterns to create wall hangings and installations that her fascination with nature, the female form and the subconscious. Sewn Drawings is a series in which thread is used as a drawing material, stitched and overstitched on raw linen canvas. “The inspiration originates from images I see when I am in that state between wake and sleep which I experience as a ‘picture of a feeling.’ In my mind’s eye, I see an image which is usually abstract, and embodies a feeling, idea, person or experience. My subconscious seeps into my conscious world with a blending of senses to produce an image.” (http://www.mimigraminski.com/)

P

ritzker’s multidisciplinary approach to art is reflected in her eager willingness to experiment—with materials, genres, and media. A native of Argentina who also lived in Spain, the artist expresses a truly global sensibility, while referencing primary subject matter indigenous to specific cultures. She writes, “The Selknam were people in the Patagonian region of southern Argentina and Chile, including the Tierra del Fuego Islands. This current series is an investigation, research and visual homage to a rich and deep civilization that is now totally extinct. I have always questioned humanity’s ancestral and ongoing violence towards other cultures. Honoring

The Presence of Leaves Katherine Bowling at Cross Contemporary Art

S

ome of us appreciate nothing more than the visual imagery provided by trees, this writer included. I can, and often do, stare into the forest for hours, accomplishing nothing more than the nurturance of my spirit or soul, or whatever you want to call it. American painter and printmaker Katherine Bowling accomplishes more. She translates her perceptions of the natural environment onto canvas or paper or spackled wood in colors both vibrant and muted, as if squinting to capture an overall impression of nature, rather than the crisp details.

Inspired by the woodlands of upstate New York, she creates paintings that command the viewer to look into the landscape, not at it. The moody skies, the earth covered in a tangle of trees or snow or a distant body of water, the silhouetted V of geese flying south, an old garage, an empty road, a fence, and always the branches and trunks and leaves of trees — all come together to form the commonality of country views and brought into a soft focus that suggest simply, “Look at this.”

Showing works since the early 1980s, Bowling has been compared to the 19th century painter, Albert Pinkham Ryder. And it’s been written that in the tradition of the Hudson River School, her expressive technique, quiet symbolism and masterful spatial illusions take the idea of landscape painting into the 21st century. The recipient of numerous grants and fellowships, Bowling has works exhibited in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Brooklyn Museum and the Fisher Landau Center in New York City, the Orlando Museum of Contemporary Art and the Norton Museum of Art in Florida, as well as the Phoenix Art Museum

the Selknam is a reminder that there are still many in-human acts everywhere.

In-spite of this, I keep a true hope for a better world.” (www.elisapritzker.com) pen just over a year, Melikyan talks about his vision for the gallery.

“When you have a space, you don’t want to keep it for yourself. I don’t consider myself a curator; others have specialized in that — putting together a show with a theme and going in depth. So if I can extend that space to those individuals, it’s part of the mission of this gallery. I give latitude and freedom to a curator.

The way they choose the pieces and put together a theme, I value that very much.

That capacity of seeing it in their mind— a room, and all of these beautiful objects and how they fit together — is something that I admire.”

An artists’ reception for Contextual Threads, sponsored by Stone Ridge Wine and Spirits, will take place 5 p.m.-7 p.m. Saturday August 29. And for galleryhoppers looking for another direction to head afterwards, stop in at Coldwell Banker Village Green Realty, 3656 Main Street in Stone Ridge, where Melikyan’s second

An opening Artist’s Reception will be held on Saturday, August 29, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Directed by Jen Dragon, Cross Contemporary Art Gallery is dedicated to showing mid-career and established artists who have a connection to New York City, the Hudson Valley and the Catskills region. Open Thursdays through Mondays from noon to 6 p.m., Tuesdays and Wednesdays by appointment or chance. “The Presence of Leaves” will be exhibited until September 27. More information about the artist can be found at http://katherinebowling.com/ — Ann Hutton Katherine Bowling: “The Presence of Leaves” Solo Exhibition, opening reception Saturday, August 29, 4 to 7 p.m., no charge, Cross Contemporary Art, 81 Partition Street, Saugerties; 845 399-9751, http://www.crosscontemporaryart.com.

And committed. It takes an extraordinary sense of integrity and self-discipline to fulfill on a project that last for seven years, as Montano’s “Seven Years of Living Art,” during which she followed self-proscribed, daily patterns connected to the senses and the chakras (a project followed by another of seven-years duration).

Now collaborating with Julie Manna and Raquel Rabinovich, Montano presents a 7-Hour Glandathon: Dance, Pray, Bless at The Storefront Gallery in Kingston. At noon, the three artists will occupy the gallery’s outdoor space and begin a seven-hour-long endurance, during which performance Manna will move and dance, Montano will pray sounds and sing praises, and in the last hour Rabinovich and her husband, Jose, will give blessings and offerings of Mud Drawings, from her hands to everyone in attendance.

Hierarchies of seven seem to fascinate

Montano — seven chakras, seven sacraments, and now the seven glands.

The performance piece draws attention to the ovaries testes, pancreas, adrenals, thymus, thyroid, pineal and pituitary, connecting movement and sound to the vitality of the physical system. Viewers are left to discern their own interpretation of meaning in performance art such as this — or they can simply enjoy and bask in the expression of human being. Bring a lawn chair and a bowl of popcorn to share.

During the Glandathon, The Storefront Gallery space will be open for the final day of “Recycling Nature,” and exhibit of sculptures and drawings by Tyler Borchert.

T

hink of the best raconteurs you’ve known in your life. Chances are good that they had mastered the art of balancing performance with authentic personal communication. Sharp intelligence, broad life experience, facility with language, the ability to turn on a dime as inspiration strikes all play their parts; but the listener also seeks the payoff of the occasional glimmer of intimacy, of trust, of recognition as the hearer – that the storytelling can flow, like the Hudson, in both directions. It’s a rare and wonderful gift.

What’s perhaps rarer still is cinema that can capture this sort of primarily verbal interplay and yet still rivet the viewer’s attention, although unrelieved by physical action. Those of us who tend to prefer well-written dialogue to car chases usually look to the stage and the small screen to satisfy such appetites; the big screen cries

Eisenberg), who talks his boss at Rolling Stone into an assignment to travel with Wallace on the last leg of the book tour for his masterpiece, Infinite Jest. After devouring the novel Lipsky is awestruck, starstruck, eaten by envy of this man who writes the way he wishes he could write, and wants desperately to get inside his head, if only for the few days that it takes to research his profile. The End of the Tour is an exquisitely choreographed depiction of the dance that these two do, now tentatively approaching, now pulling back in a dizzyingly cerebral and sometimes-wrenching journalistic do-sido. Which is a true wound revealed, and which a mask, a pose?

As rendered in the screenplay by the very fine playwright Donald Margulies, Wallace is a man whose tendencies toward depression and addictive behaviors are inextricably entwined with his off-thecharts level of intelligence. But this is no garden-variety “tragic tortured genius” yarn. The fame and appreciation for his

out to be filled with movement that is not primarily of the emotional kind. So James Ponsoldt’s The End of the Tour is not going to smash any box-office records. But it may very well win Jason Segel – yes, that guy who was in a bunch of Judd Apatow bromances – the Best Actor Oscar this year.

Segel is heartbreakingly, stunningly good as iconoclastic author David Foster Wallace, 12 years before his suicide, hiding in a messy, unprepossessing ranch house in the Midwest, torn between profound loneliness and deep mistrust of his newfound fame. Frumpily dressed, stringy unwashed hair always bound in a “lucky” bandanna that the character admits is a psychological crutch, Wallace pushes people away even as he longs for connection, knowing that he’s a tough man to live with. When his Muse calls, he must answer, and anyone who gets close to him risks becoming collateral damage.

One who dares cross that line is lesssuccessful author David Lipsky (Jesse

talent that Wallace craves are simply the burr in his britches that he can never ignore. He knows that a novelist is only as good as his last book; that the more praiseworthy his achievements, the higher the bar that he must clear next time. And he wants to be loved for the person he is, in person, and not his authorial voice, however brilliant and self-revelatory that might be. Gradually, disarmingly, he unveils bits of this existential dread to his interviewer, only to shut himself with a snap whenever Lipsky probes too raw a spot in his psyche.

Eisenberg also does a very fine job as the yearning wannabe, torn in his own way between the interviewer’s game of trying to lure the badger out of his hole with tasty bait in order to get him to admit things (notably, his boss wants him to find out the truth of rumors about Wallace’s past heroin addiction) and a more genuine desire to become friends with the writer whom he admires so intensely that it’s almost a crush. Imagine a bromance directed by Ingmar Bergman, in which two bright 30-something guys explore bleak, somber inner landscapes while bonding over TV, cigarettes, French fries and Pop-Tarts. In his Holmesian professional attention to such details as the contents of Wallace’s medicine cabinet, Lipsky teeters on the brink of becoming a stalker, a voyeur; it’s off-putting, and yet we the audience, who are Salieris at best

Actually, it might be more accurate to characterize Wallace, as embodied

by Segel, as his own Salieri, sabotaging himself at every turn with a terror that he will ultimately be found out as the “fraud� that he imagines himself to be. At one point he jokingly tells a tour handler that Lipsky’s name is Boswell, but that

doesn’t quite hit the mark either. Lipsky is more the Wally Shawn to Wallace’s AndrÊ Gregory: the encouraging enabler to an intermittent geyser of head-spinning philosophical revelations of a life deeply lived, albeit mostly internally.

“D

eflategate� may have made pregame guardians of the football into subjects of suspicion in the NFL, but the cadets of the West Point Parachute Team know how to take custody of an official game ball with style and panache. They parachute down onto the field with it for every home Army football game, dropping into Michie Stadium at West Point ten minutes prior to kickoff in a nice bit of pageantry that never fails to please the crowd.

An appearance by the West Point Parachute Team — also known as the Black Knights — is just one of many reasons to attend the New York Air Show at Stewart International Airport in New Windsor on Saturday and Sunday, August 29 and 30. The two-day event will feature three branches of the U.S. military and will be the first major air show at Stewart in more than a decade. Tickets cost $25 at the gate.

Headlining the New York Air Show will be the U.S. Air Force F-22 Raptor demo team, flying the most advanced fighter aircraft in the world. With only 186 F-22s in the fleet, the Air Force limits the Raptor’s air show demonstrations to just 20 each year. Other demos in the spotlight will include the Marine Corps AV-8B Harrier, with vertical takeoff and landing, and the Navy F-18F Super Hornet. Parachuting demonstrations will be offered by the cadets of the West Point Parachute Team and the Navy Seals Leap Frogs.

Civilian performers include the Horsemen — a three-ship P-51 formation flight team — and the GEICO Skytypers, a six-aircraft World War II-era flight team. And former US national aerobatic champion Mike Wiskus will entertain the crowd in his Lucas Oil Pitts S-1-11b

The New York Air Show will also feature a diverse display of military and civilian static aircraft, simulators – including the Air Force Performance Lab — and a kids’ zone. The exhibit area will encompass more than 50 acres of the south side of Stewart Airport.

S

tewart Airport was just a small landing strip used by small planes in the 1930s. Aviation enthusiast Thomas Archibald “Archie� Stewart donated the land to the City of Newburgh because he believed that a 20th-century city should have its own airport. He was later instrumental in seeing the land transferred (for $1) to the federal government, which built an airfield there in the early 1940s — primarily to train cadets from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, but also for defense purposes: to protect West Point in case of air raids from Germany.

After the war, in 1948, the airfield became Stewart Air Force Base, until the late ‘60s when the military left. The airfield languished until it was deactivated and acquired by the state of New York in 1970.

The runway was extended in the 1980s, and by the end of the decade, Stewart International Airport began to take the form that it has today. American Airlines was the first to offer passenger flights in 1989, and the US Postal Service opened its distribution facility that same year.

Stewart International became the nation’s first privatized commercial airport in 2000 and is currently operated by the Port

More than 20,000 attendees are expected to attend the New York Air Show over the weekend. Gates and ground displays are open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Flight performances take place from 12 noon to 4 p.m. each day. Most of the performers are slated to appear both Saturday and Sunday; check the “Performers� link at www.airshowny. com or the New York Air Show page on Facebook for details.

Food and beverages (including beer) will be available for purchase (cash only) inside the event site at prices ranging from $3 to $15. A limited number of Photo Pit passes with an unobstructed viewline are available, as is a VIP package in a special covered section.

Conflicting stories The National Purple Heart Hall of Honor reopens in New Windsor

T

he Purple Heart Medal that has been awarded to nearly two million Americans killed or wounded in combat by enemy action is “available to all, desired by none,” as they say at The National Purple Heart Hall of Honor in New Windsor.

The galleries there have recently reopened after a significant redesign of the space and revamping of the exhibits over the summer.

The brown and gray tones dominant in

the past have been brightened up and the exhibits are now grouped by branches of the military. “If you visited the galleries in the past, you won’t recognize them now,” says Peter Bedrossian, program director for the Hall of Honor. “It’s nothing like it was before. There’s certainly been a strong statement made with brighter exhibits and more visuals, and more stories are told in the galleries by individual recipients than previously.”

Those stories are also more accessible to

Back to School

August 27, 2015

visitors now with improvements made to the way information is accessed through the site’s Roll of Honor. The computerized database has always contained the stories of Purple Heart recipients, but in the past, it only had those of the people who have enrolled in the system — or whose families have enrolled them — and one had to know the name of a specific person to search for. Now a visitor intrigued by a Purple Heart recipient highlighted in an exhibit case will be able to search that person’s story through the Roll of Honor database for more details. “It’s still an infinitesimal number of the stories we have,” says Bedrossian, “but it will at least get you started. That’s the beauty of this: The stories are a treasure trove, and we’ve had these stories for years, but the visitor wouldn’t have known them before.”

There is also a new video with commentary by 13 recipients of the Purple Heart, and a new interactive map exhibit in which visitors can access geographical and background information about major conflicts from the Civil War through Afghanistan.

And even the hours for the Hall of Honor have been expanded, with the site now open on Saturdays. Gallery hours are

Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 1-5 p.m.

The ceremonial grounds just outside of the main exhibit hall remain the same, providing a contemplative space for visitors and a place where Purple Heart recipients can choose to have their awards presented.

T

he origins of the Purple Heart Medal stem from the final days of the American Revolution. The Continental Congress had forbidden General George Washington from granting commissions and promotions, but Washington wanted to honor merit, particularly among the enlisted soldiers. So in August of 1782, he established the Badge of Military Merit (an original of which is on display at the Hall in New Windsor).

The names of the recipients were to have been kept in a “Book of Merit,” but such a volume has never been found. Washington wanted the award to be a permanent one, but once the Revolution ended, the Badge of Merit was forgotten until the 20th century.

General John J. Pershing suggested an award for merit in 1918, but it wasn’t until 1932 that the Purple Heart was created

recordkeeping. For example, a person might have received a Purple Heart while they were in a field hospital but without a clerk on hand the award was never recorded into the official record. Nobody in charge was being negligent; the volume of casualties made keeping track difficult.

There are also people who would have qualified for a Purple Heart but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t apply for one when it became available.

Up until World War II, a veteran had to apply for the award themselves and it was only open to the living. There were 16 Civil War veterans who were in their 90s in 1932 who applied for and were awarded Purple Heart Medals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The timeline starts with Warren Coates at the Battle of Shiloh in April 1862,â&#x20AC;? Bedrossian says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;because 96-year-old Warren applied for it and got

it.â&#x20AC;?

The Hall of Honor in New Windsor has approximately ten percent of those awarded a Purple Heart enrolled in their system. The number, approaching 200,000, is â&#x20AC;&#x153;maybe not in the numbers youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d want, but relatively speaking, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good representative sample,â&#x20AC;? says Bedrossian. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never reach 100 percent, but the ideal is to get as many as we can. There are still stories to be told.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Sharyn Flanagan The National Purple Heart Hall of Honor, 374 Temple Hill Road, New Windsor, free admission, open Tuesday through Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Sunday 1-5 p.m.; 845-5611765, www.thepurpleheart.com.

NATURE NIGHT SKY

When the Full Moon Isn’t Round ...and the Amazing Perfect Circle

I

t’s the full moon this Saturday night. But the exact time of fullness is 2:35 p.m. that afternoon. So if you’re observing at 9 p.m. Saturday night, the moon has had 6 1/2 hours to get “out of round” — and you’ll easily detect that it’s not a perfectly round disk.

To see a truly perfect circle, look again the night of the Harvest Moon, September 27. Then, the moon will be full around 10 p.m., our time. A complete circle. So perfect a line-up, the moon will go into Earth’s shadow. (Imagine: The Harvest Moon in total eclipse, at the same hour it’s

at its closest approach of the entire year!

What an eclipse next month!)

The moon is just four miles “out of round” in its 2,160 mile diameter. One part in 500. Absolutely imperceptible, visually.

A flawless disk, to the eye.

Through the ages the circle was considered nature’s “perfect shape.” All parts of a ring are the same distance from the center, so the figure seems beginningless and infinite. The vestige of that belief is still with us in the exchange of wedding rings. In any case, the circle is nature’s favorite shape. In the

distant depths of the night, there are far more spheres than any other shape. Yet when meteorites are discovered these chunks of stone and metal are never round. What goes on? Why are small objects irregular while big ones are balls?

The answer is simple. When a celestial body forms, it is either gaseous or molten

Through the ages the circle was considered nature’s ‘perfect shape.’ and easily malleable. All of its atoms attract each other by simple gravity, so it pulls itself inward to the most compact figure possible — which is always a globe.

You discovered in childhood how a sphere has the smallest surface. When you played with clay, you could pattycake it into a thin piece with an enormous surface — or else you could roll it into a little ball between your palms. A ball was always the tiniest you could make it, with the

least amount of surface that required the smallest amount of paint when it dried.

Only objects with too little gravity to do the job escape being balls. That’s why celestial bodies below a certain mass, like asteroids and meteors, are irregular.

The universe does allow loopholes.

Speedy rotation forces large fluffy planets like Saturn, the bright star in the southwest after sunset these nights, to bulge exotically. Some stars like brilliant Vega overhead spin so quickly they look as though squeezed in a giant vise. But such exceptions aside, it’s a universe of spheres.

Some of these balls are larger than Jupiter’s orbit. Others, like the Crab Nebula pulsar, could fit within the boundaries of Los Angeles. But the glowing jewels that make up the constellations — nearly all are great balls of fire. Perfect looking spheres.

But not the full moon this weekend.

ALMANAC WEEKLY

August 27, 2015

olden Bantam corn, because it originated in 1906, is, of course non-GMO, that is, a “non genetically modified organism.” (As of now, almost all commercial sweet corn is still nonGMO; just about all field corn, which makes its way into animals, corn syrup, and more packaged products than you can imagine, is GMO.) This is my leadin to clearing up some basic misconceptions about what GMO means.

When the pollen from any plant lands on the female part of a flower of another plant, cross-pollination occurs. The resulting seeds and the plant growing from those seeds carry genes contributed from each of the two parent plants. As a

result, the offspring are similar to, but not genetically identical, to the parents. The offspring is a natural hybrid.

Enter Homo sapiens...Since the dawn of civilization, we humans have sought certain traits in our plants. To get plants with such traits, we chose plant parents having qualities to our liking and deliberately mated them in the hopes that their offspring would pick up only the parents’ good traits. The more offspring that are grown, the better the chance of finding a hybrid — one produced with human assistance, in this case, possessing desirable traits.

Besides the crapshoot of traditional breeding, success is further limited by our only being able to choose from among plant parents that are related closely enough to breed. For instance you could not mate a tomato plant, which is not frost tolerant, with, say, a flounder, a fish very tolerant of freezing temperatures, in an effort to make a frost tolerant tomato.

Tomatoes and fish are not even distant kin and could never breed with each other under natural conditions.

About 30 years ago, scientists developed methods for circumventing the capriciousness of natural or humanassisted breeding. Laboratory methods were developed for teasing a desirable gene out of a cell of one organism, then injecting the gene into cell of another organism to create new organism — a GMO. And I do mean a “new organism,” because it contains genetic material that need not have come from a related organism.

That “fish tomato” was, in fact, created by incorporated the so-called antifreeze gene from winter flounder into a tomato.

It turns out that gene expression is not as straightforward or as predictable as once imagined. The fish tomato was a commercial flop in its frost tolerance and other agronomic characteristics; perhaps

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

Something to chew on G olden Bantam corn has just the right sweetness

W

ith all the supersweet, tender ears of corn readily available at farms, farmers’ markets, even supermarkets these days, why do I bother to grow my own sweet corn?

Because it tastes better, much better.

Corn can be too sweet, and too tender for many of us maizophiles.

I grow the variety Golden Bantam, which was the standard of excellent in sweet corn a hundred years ago. Its fat, golden kernels are toothsome, giving you something to chew on (but they’re not too chewy), with a rich, corny flavor. And yes, they are also sweet, just not supersweet.

Corn is a relatively pest-free vegetable that warrants space in any garden. I grow corn in hills (clusters) of three plants each with two feet between hills in the row and two rows of hills down each 3-foot-wide bed. With each stalk yielding one to two ears, I reap 30 to 60 ears for each ten feet of bed! That’s a lot of ears, and it’s in space in which I sow early lettuce or spinach before planting the corn, and late turnips or, again, lettuce, spinach, arugula, or other cool season vegetables to follow the corn harvest.

Of course, I plant more than just one ten foot bed of corn and I spread the harvest season with successive sowings, four of them two weeks apart.

There is one limitation to backyard corn: raccoons. Given the opportunity, they will harvest every ripe ear. Trapping is one way to keep them at bay. My dogs, Sammy and Scooter, spend day and night frolicking outdoors — and convincing raccoons to search for greener pastures.

it would have been a good swimmer.

Since that fish tomato came and went, other GMOs have been developed. Many have been commercial successes.

Just to be clear: While it is true, as is often stated in support of GMOs, that hybridization or cross-breeding has been going on in nature for eons, that crossbreeding has always been between closely related species. Humans intervened, but nature could also have produced those traditional hybrids.

All the above involves, in some sense, genetic modification. You are a genetic modification of your parents. But the term “genetically modified organism,” or GMO, genetically engineered, or transgenic organism, signifies an organism that has picked up genes via manipulation in a laboratory, often genes that never could have showed up naturally in the organism. awaited my first taste of this season’s Golden Bantam with more anticipation than my first taste of tomato.

Finally, we’re awash in sweet corn, more than we can eat.

But six weeks of sweet corn will not satisfy, so we’re packing away some for winter. Steaming or boiling the shucked cobs arrests enzymes that change kernel’s sugars to starches. With sweetness retained, we slice kernels from cobs, then either freeze them or dry them. Either way, they are a flavorful addition to soups, stews, and breads on dark, cold, winter days. But nothing like biting into a freshly steamed cob in the heat of summer sun.

FOSTER HOMES NEEDED FOR KITTENS AND PREGNANT CATS.The WOODSTOCK FERAL CAT PROJECT is a local not for profit organization committed to reducing future feral cat populations through spay/neuter. We often find orphaned kittens who need a loving home until they are old enough to be adopted. Some orphaned kittens are so young that they require bottle feeding. We affectionately call them “bottle babies”. We recently placed three pregnant cats in three wonderful homes. The cats gave birth and when the

kittens are weaned (no longer nursing), we will look to find loving homes for the kittens and their mothers.

I guess if I could give anyone one single piece of advice about finding a home it is, while youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re busy looking for the perfect house, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll probably miss the imperfect house thatcould make you perfectly happy. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face it, much like life, a home is what you make it into. It is mortar and wood and floors and ceilings, what you make it into reflects upon who you are. There is an area in Woodstock called â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Flats.â&#x20AC;? It was originally low cost housing built in the 50â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and 60â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. They were very simple and plain.

Today, most of these low-end homes are loved, filled with the diversity and charm of the people that own them. They werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t perfect at one time, now they perfectly fill lives with Wi family and joy. n Mo r rison
