The world’s largest Viking ship built in modern times, the 115-foot Draken Harald Hårfagre, puts into port in the Rondout this Friday morning, September 9, and will stick around until the morning of Thursday, September 15, when she departs for New York City.

re you blown away by the concept that some hardy seafarers managed to cross the Atlantic from Norway to Newfoundland a millennium ago, in a vessel that didn’t even feature a covered cabin in which to sleep on a stormy night? Well, the Hudson River Maritime Museum has a big treat in store for you.

The world’s largest Viking ship built in modern times, the 115-foot Draken Harald Hårfagre, puts into port in the Rondout this Friday morning, September 9, and will stick around until the morning of Thursday, September 15, when she departs for New York City.

Inspired by the ninth-century Gokstad ship-burial and the longships of Norse sagas, though not an exact replica of any particular historical vessel, the Draken was constructed in Haugesund, Norway by a traditional boatbuilding team at the behest of Norwegian entrepreneur Sigurd Aase. The project, and the current Expedition America 2016 tour, are meant to commemorate the Norse voyages to Vinland that predated Christopher Columbus’ arrival in the New World by about five centuries. Built primarily of oak, with a Douglas fir mast and a sail of red silk, with the traditional dragoncarved prow and stern, the ship carries

a crew of 32 sailors and is rowed with 25 pairs of oars.

And yes, they did sail her across the North Atlantic – in chilly April! – to get here; previous passages on this tour have included the St. Lawrence River, the Great Lakes and the Erie Canal. Kingston will be the Draken’s only layover stop on the Hudson River before New York Harbor.

The ship will winter over at Connecticut’s Mystic Seaport.

Deck tours of the Draken will be conducted from 12 noon to 7 p.m. on Friday, September 9, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, September 10 and from 2 to 6 p.m. on Monday, September 12. Admission costs $10 for adults, $5 for children aged 6 and up. At other times

Outdoor tea ceremony this Saturday at Innisfree

TALK

Who was Nathaniel Booth?

I

f you have ever had occasion to take the snaky backroad between Midtown Kingston and the Rondout known as Wilbur Avenue, you’ve undoubtedly noticed a once-handsome, now-crumbling, vine-covered stone house with massive bluestone lintels. It’s believed to have been the home of Lancashire-born bluestone merchant Nathaniel Booth, whose family had emigrated to Saugerties in 1828. Booth left behind several volumes of diaries and travel pieces that document day-to-day life in mid-19th-century Ulster County with wit and curmudgeonly insight.

This long-dead entrepreneur and social observer made headlines last spring when the façade of the Nathaniel Booth House began dropping debris onto Wilbur Avenue. The City of Kingston delayed action on its initial impulse to demolish the structure in the name of public safety long enough for a coalition of concerned citizens to find a way to preserve the historic structure.

“Who Is Nathaniel Booth Anyway, and Why Should We Care about Preserving His House?” is the title of the latest in the Friends of Historic Saugerties’ monthly lecture series, happening at 2 p.m. this Saturday, September 10 in the Community Room of the Saugerties Public Library. The talk will be presented by Geoffrey Miller, who was appointed in May 2016 as the official historian for Ulster County.

A retired teacher, Miller is the guy responsible for overseeing the restoration of the Reher Bakery Building in the Rondout Historic District to house the new Reher Center for Immigrant Culture and History. In his lecture, Miller will introduce Booth to the community by sharing excerpts from his diary that shed light on the county’s political, economic, social and cultural history from a fresh and highly entertaining perspective.

The Saugerties Public Library is located at 91 Washington Avenue in Saugerties, All Friends of Historic Saugerties events are free and open to the general public.

So you’d like to participate in one of this year’s Hudson River Valley Ramble outings, but don’t feel athletically up to a long and strenuous back-country hike?

This Saturday afternoon, September 10, presents an opportunity to get some gentle exercise while enjoying one of the loveliest spots in the Hudson Valley: Innisfree Garden in Millbrook. Plus, you’ll be exposed to the intricacies of a Japanese tea ceremony, an ancient ritual celebrating seasonal change.

Laid out in “rooms” that in many ways reflect traditional Japanese approaches to gardening, Innisfree is worth exploring anytime it’s open. It climbs and descends gentle hillsides arcing around a small lake, punctuated by natural stone outcrops, sculptures, steps, plazas, bridges and fountains; not too many steps in any direction present the ambler with fresh and surprising perspectives. There are plenty of appealing spots to sit and

contemplate, one of which will be set aside this Saturday to host a nodate (picnicstyle) outdoor tea ceremony.

At this event sponsored by Arts MidHudson’s Folk Arts program, talented members of the Mid-Hudson Japanese Community Association will perform this exacting ceremony and explain the meaning of each part of the process.

Matcha (powdered green tea) and traditional sweets will be shared with the first 25 people who make reservations.

Admission costs $10 for Innisfree members, $15 for the general public.

Advance registration is required; call (845) 677-8000 or e-mail office@ innisfreegarden.org. For more information, visit www.hudsonrivervalleyramble.com/ ramble/events/ev-detail/innisfree-gardennodate-traditional-outdoor-tea-ceremony.

Innisfree Garden is located at 362 Tyrrel Road in Millbrook.

Authenticated by early stints with saxophonists Nick Brignola and Joshua Redman, among others, Hays’s career as leader began in 1994 with the John Scofield-produced Seventh Sense and has been steady ever since. Highlights are many, but for those who love to hear jazz virtuosi flexing their fingers and ears outside of the post-bop and piano-trio mainstream, Hays – like Evans, Jarrett and Mehldau before him – has a damn good one: the 2006 mostly-solo-piano outing Open Range: Piano Works III. The semester visiting artist at SUNYUlster, Kevin Hays will present a master class and solo concert on September 8.

The class, which is open to college and high school students, will be held between 4 and 6 p.m. A free concert, open to the public, will be held the evening of September 8 at 7:30 p.m. in the Quimby Theater on the Stone Ridge campus. For more information, visit www.sunyulster. edu/events.

Pacific Quartet, Happy Traum & The Curse of Batvia round out Maverick’s 100th season

M

averick Concerts in Woodstock conclude their 100th anniversary season with one wildly diverse weekend of programming. Maverick’s programming in recent years had made generous allowance for folk music, jazz, children’s music and even spoken-word and dramatic arts. But serious chamber music played by elite international ensembles is the Maverick’s forte and mainstay, and that is how the weekend and the season will conclude on Sunday, September 11 at 4 p.m.

The Pacifica Quartet, despite the name, is not a Left Coast-leaning concern. The Grammy-winning ensemble is currently both quartet-in-residence and full-time faculty members at the Jacobs School of Music in Bloomington, Indiana.

Previously, Pacifica served similar roles at the University of Chicago and, for nearly a decade, at the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana.

The Quartet’s Maverick program is the sixth in its “New Century, New Voices” series. Representing the new is String Quartet No. 3: Glitter, Doom, Shards, Memory, a 2014 composition by the daring and challenging IsraeliAmerican composer Shulamit Ran. Pacifica dips into the canon for its other two selections: quartets by Mozart (No. 23) and Beethoven (no. 7, the first of the three Razumovsky Quartets).

On Saturday, September 10 at 8 p.m., folk and rural blues trailblazer and longtime Woodstock regular Happy Traum performs with an ensemble of locally residing folk masters – a duo of duos, in fact: the husband-and-wife team Larry Campbell and Theresa Williams, and the mid-Hudson’s longest-running folk institution (as both performers and curators): Jay Ungar and Molly Mason.

On Friday, September 9 at 8 p.m., the Maverick strays off the beaten path for an evening with a “concert reading” of Katherine Burger (book) and Roland Tec’s (music) musical The Curse of Batvia, a comedy about a missing dog, a book of spells from a far-off, vaguely

Styx to play Civic Center in Poughkeepsie They began as one the handful of original American prog/rock bands, where Journey also began and where Kansas has always remained. As they peaked commercially, however, Styx became something harder to describe: a Dennis DeYoung-fronted peddler of oddly conceptual light rock, as likely to sound like Cetera-era Chicago as Yes or Genesis. The current touring lineup is legit, featuring core members James “J. Y.” Young and Tommy Shaw on guitars and bassist Chuck Panozzo, one-half of the original sibling rhythm section (drummer John Panozzo died in 1996).

Don Henley to play Bethel Woods

A

s both an Eagle and as a solo artist, Don Henley is one of the more polarizing figures in the classic-rock pantheon. The Eagles get little credit (about as much as Poco) for their pioneering role in the country/rock genre, and Henley’s fabulously successful solo hits have been held up, again and again, as emblems of the sins of the ’80s.

What no one can question, however, is a career of consistent hitmaking and a large international fanbase that cares little about the ups and downs of critical reputation. And there was a time, kids, when Mr. Henley was quite highly regarded by critics, both for the cultural acumen of such songs as “Hotel California,” “Dirty Laundry” and “Boys of Summer” and for the legendarily high quality of his self-produced song demos.

Eight-time Grammy-winner Don Henley performs at the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts on Saturday, September 10 at 8 p.m. Tickets cost $71, $91, $111, $125 and $141 for reserved seating and $37.50 for general admission to the Lawn. Buy tickets at www.bethelwoodscenter.org, www.ticketmaster.com or by phone at (800) 745-3000. The Bethel Woods Center for the Arts is located at 200 Hurd Road in Bethel.

Gratefully Yours plays Beacon’s Towne Crier this Friday Gratefully Yours is a jam-scene all-star Grateful Dead tribute band based on a novel concept. Of all arena-rock bands, the Dead enjoyed a remarkable liberty in terms of repertoire. The band could perform any of upwards of 400 songs,

The tireless touring machine that is Zepparella makes another local stop on Friday, September 16. This time around, the all-female Led Zeppelin tribute band is scheduled to rock the Bearsville Theater into submission. One reason that Zepparella plays around here all the time is that they play around everywhere all the time, but the other is a local connection: In the Plant role we find the dynamo singer Noelle Doughty, who used to pack the mid-Hudson clubs of the ‘90s with a very different kind of band: the psychedelic funk/dance/jam party band Funktional Loonacy.

Lotus Revival – a band that features Doughty and guitarist/songwriter Brad King, another veteran of the ‘90s midHudson scene – will open the show at 9 p.m. General admission tickets for Zepparella cost $15 in advance, $20 at the door.

Jeremy Denk to perform at Bard’s Fisher Center on Sunday Virtuoso pianist Jeremy Denk – one of the leading lights on the contemporary classical music scene, jam buddies with Joshua Bell and a name oft-heard if you listen much to classical radio – helps the Bard College Conservatory of Music celebrate its tenth anniversary with a solo performance on Sunday, September 11 at 3 p.m. at the Sosnoff Theater. “The idea of this program,� says Denk, “is a musical analogy to time-lapse photography: a journey in two hours through seven centuries of Western music, from the 1300s until the present day.

In a series of 25 short pieces, it will trace the evolution of the musical language, the soundscape – an epic story of human thought and ideals, of what we have found important to express in tones.�

The program ranges from Dufay and Frescobaldi to Ligeti and the Beatles.

Tickets cost $30 and $50. For more information, visit http://fishercenter.bard. edu. The Fisher Center’s Sosnoff Theater is located on the campus of Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson.

Hasbrouck Park in New Paltz to host Quiet Village “anti-festival�

“N

o Noise. No Beats. No Visuals. Pure Ambience.â€? Quiet Village is strict in aesthetic and pretty darn clear about what it is not. Conceived and coordinated by SUNY-New Paltz composer/educator/vocalist Bob Lukomski and presented in part by the venerable PonĂŠ Ensemble for New Music, the New Paltz “anti-festivalâ€? will fill the field at Hasbrouck Park with sound on Saturday, September 17 from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.: a full day of serious ambient electronic music, environmental music and sound art.

Visitors are encouraged to stroll through the bazaar of unpredictable sound or settle in at one station. Presenting artists include Lukomski himself as well as Okkoto, the handle of It’s Not Night; It’s Space drummer and modular synthesist Michael Lutomski. Saugerties-based Oneiromantix specialize in a haunting blend of pads, drones and disturbing fringe sounds and voices. They, like Syracuse composer Edward Ruchalski and Brooklyn’s Andrew Shapiro, may have to cherrypick their repertoire and methodology somewhat to comply with the no-beats ordinance.

New York City composer David Melcionis, on the other hand, is good to go if his slab of fricative sound Rotten Ice (for Gretel Ehrlich) is any indication. Other performers bring their machines in from Catskill, New Jersey and Kerhonkson. Many of the artists, including Lukomski, are members of the Coterminous Collectiv, a loose group of electronic composers and performers in the Hudson Valley. Several performers have participated in Lukomski’s micro-venue Earwaker concert series.

This will be one stroll through the park that you will not soon forget – if you are still yourself when you make it out. For more information on Quiet Village, visit www.quietvillage.us. Hasbrouck Park is located alongside Mohonk Avenue in New Paltz. – John Burdick

Basilica Soundscape coming to Hudson Basilica Soundscape, the two-day festival of art, Outsider music and all-out avant-garde assault, will be returning to Hudson on September 16 and 17. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lineup has turned out particularly heavy, with Night One headliners Wolves in the Throne Room, a black metal band/organic farming collective from the woods of Washington, backed by the doomy stylings of Bell Witch and a revamped Cobalt over the two nights.

But fans of more uplifting fare need not run screaming. Night Two will culminate with instrumental rockers Explosions in the Sky, and Wolves in the Throne Room will find themselves following the indiepopper Angel Olsen. Curator Brandon Stosuy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; formerly an editor at Pitchfork and currently running the Kickstarterbacked Creative Independent project â&#x20AC;&#x201C; says that these kinds of juxtapositions are intentional. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want there to be a variety, but not so eclectic that it feels random,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want things to be there for a reason, and to make sense together, even if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re seemingly quite different.â&#x20AC;?

In previous years this has meant following an industrial noise band with an extended drum solo on a balcony, or the heart-on-sleeve stylings of the nowdefunct Majical Cloudz in a back room of the former rail foundry and glue factory.

The result is an event that feels diverse, without approaching the nonsensical pairings that you find at a large festival where all tastes have to be accommodated.

The result shows this kind of careful planning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want the events to work on multiple levels from start to finish,â&#x20AC;? says Stosuy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There should be some kind of cohesion, even if it takes a little bit of time to notice it.â&#x20AC;?

Other acts spread over both nights include the lute-and-drums duo Xylouris White, â&#x20AC;&#x153;hardcore industrialâ&#x20AC;? band Youth Code and DIY punks Hank Wood and the Hammerheads. The festival will be followed on Sunday, September 18 by a brunch and local Farm & Flea marketplace from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., cooked by Nicole LoBue of Alimentary Kitchen. There will also be pop-up shops from the Sacred Bones Records and Publication Studio throughout the weekend.

Tickets for the entire weekend cost $75, with $40 single-day passes available, as well as a discounted student/senior pass for $60. Those interested in camping can also purchase a $125 weekend pass and

LeHand that held the keys to the Oval Office President Franklin D. Roosevelt referred to his savvy personal secretary, Marguerite Alice â&#x20AC;&#x153;Missyâ&#x20AC;? LeHand, as â&#x20AC;&#x153;my conscience.â&#x20AC;? LeHand worked with FDR for more than 20 years, including almost a decade in the White House, where she essentially functioned as his chief of staff, long before such a position was formally created. People in DC knew that if you wanted to get to FDR, you had to go through Missy.

Yet while hundreds of books have chronicled FDRâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s four historic terms in office, LeHand has literally been relegated to the footnotes of history until now. Journalist Kathryn Smith finally fills in the blanks in her new book The Gatekeeper: Missy LeHand, FDR and the Untold Story of the Partnership that Defined a Presidency.

Imagine H. P. Lovecraft writing Garrison Keillor’s “News from Lake Wobegon,” set in a little town in the desert Southwest somewhere near Area 51 – a town where all conspiracy theories are real – and you’ve got the general gist of the immensely popular podcast Welcome to Night Vale. Recurring characters include such eldritch entities as a five-headed dragon, the Faceless Old Woman Who Secretly Lives in Your Home and the

T

he 1989 movie Heathers got turned into a stage musical, which is about to be revived by the Castaway Players Theatre Company at the Center for Performing Arts at Rhinebeck. Here’s its premise: “Westerberg High is ruled by a shoulder-padded, scrunchie-wearing junta: Heather, Heather and Heather, the hottest and cruelest girls in all of Ohio. But misfit Veronica Sawyer rejects their evil regime for a new boyfriend, who plans to put the Heathers in their place: six feet under.”

It’s black comedy, but it addresses some serious issues of adolescence, including teen suicide and homophobia.

Directed by Sean Matthew Whiteford, the Castaway Players’ production of Heathers: The Musical will run from September 9 to 18, with performances beginning at 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, plus 3 p.m. matinées on Sundays. Tickets cost $27 and $25. To purchase, call the box office at (845) 876-3080 or visit www.centerforperformingarts.org. The Center for Performing Arts is located at 661 Route 308, 3.5 miles east of downtown Rhinebeck.

Rosendale Theatre presents live Vintage Hitchcock this weekend, Radio Age-style

N

ow that the Rosendale Theatre has rebuilt its 1920s-era stage, upgraded its lighting and sound systems and made more room backstage by replacing massive old air conditioners with sleeker modern units, audiences can expect to see the beloved community cinema hosting lots more live theatrical productions. Last year’s staging of It’s a Wonderful Life as a 1940s radio broadcast, complete with period costumes, vintage commercials and fabulous Foley-table sound effects, was such a big success that the Theatre is following it up this weekend with another production in a similar vein, titled Vintage Hitchcock.

Everybody knows Alfred Hitchcock’s classic suspense movies, and some of us remember Alfred Hitchcock Presents on our black-and-white TVs. But few still living are old enough to remember the audio-only series that preceded it on the airwaves. Vintage Hitchcock takes the plots of three of the original horror master’s films – The Lodger, Sabotage and The 39 Steps – and merges them into a triple feature that recaptures the way that live sound engaged America’s popular imagination back in the Golden Age of Radio.

Edge-of-your seat suspense, cold-blooded murder, espionage, romance, danger and derring-do: It’s all here for three shows, beginning at 8 p.m. on Friday, September 9 and at 2 and 8 p.m. on Saturday, September 10. Ann Citron directs, Fre Atlast executes the sound effects and Debbie Lan will be on the piano. The cast features Virginia Ferri, Jim Granger, Brian Mathews, Molly Parker Myers and David Ringwood, all playing multiple roles; those who caught It’s a Wonderful Life know that watching a single actor have a conversation with him- or herself while simultaneously voicing two different characters is a hoot-and-a-half!

Tickets to Vintage Hitchcock cost $15 general admission, $12 for members of the Rosendale Theatre Collective, and can be ordered online at http://vintagehitchcock. bpt.me or purchased at the box office. For more information, e-mail info@ rosendaletheatre.org, call (845) 658-8989 or visit www.rosendaletheatre.org.

weekend in September.

What originated as a party to mark the wedding of Crown Prince Ludwig and Princess Therese of SaxonyHildburghausenback (this was back in 1810), Oktoberfest has become one of the largest festivals in the world. Celebrated now in communities all over America, it’s like that holiday in March when everyone wears green and claims to be Irish: Anyone who loves hearty foods and good beer can claim a bit of German American heritage at Oktoberfest.

At Germania in Poughkeepsie, visitors will enjoy authentic German bands all weekend, including Alpine Squeeze on Friday, Gregory and the Brauhaus Band on Saturday and Spitze on Saturday and

Sunday. Vendors with gifts, crafts and more German goodies will be on hand, too. And for the kids, lots of fun activities are planned, like performing clowns and Buttondown Balloons and a chicken dance and piñatas.

All proceeds from Oktoberfest go to Germania’s numerous activities and programs, including its many live musical performances and the Blue and White Soccer Club.

hat do you do when Eve Ensler comes to town? You rent the biggest venue you can find and put the word out. The word is that the TMI Project’s first annual “Voices in Action Award” will be presented to Ensler at the Community Outreach Showcase of 2016, to be held at Backstage Studio Productions on Saturday, September 17. The event will include readings performed by participants of the various workshops offered through the TMI Project’s Community Outreach Initiative this past year.

The lineup will include women from workshops at the Bottomless Closet, a New York City-based organization that helps women move beyond domestic violence, drug abuse, homelessness, incarceration and poverty; adults from a workshop at the Mental Health Association of Ulster County; and at-risk teens from a workshop at the Hudson Valley Pathways Academy (P-Tech) High School. Stories written and performed by real people reveal our shared humanity.

It’s a transformational formula that Ensler tapped into, and has inspired others to do so, too. As creator of The Vagina Monologues and founder of V-Day

Now through Sept 11

and One Billion Rising, she has helped awaken a sense of individual and collective empowerment in women. Indeed, TMI’s co-founder and executive director Eva Tenuto credits her own experience of producing The Vagina Monologues for the idea of TMI: “too much information.”

After the show, a VIP reception with Ensler, the TMI Project staff and the performers will include a champagne toast and dessert. Proceeds from the evening support the Community Outreach Initiative.

Ron Howard, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finally ready for its worldwide premiere on Thursday, September 15. Drawing from more than 100 hours of rare and unseen footage collected from fans, news outlets and national archives, as well as the Beatlesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; private collection, Eight Days a Week includes 12 full and partial performances from the concerts. These have been elegantly recut and remastered in highdefinition and 5.1 surround-sound, and are the closest thing that an audience can get to experiencing the band play live during that brief magical interval between 1962 and 1966 when the Beatles were touring.

Using studio chatter and outtakes, the film also delves into the inner workings of the group â&#x20AC;&#x201C; how they made decisions, created their music and built a collective career together â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as well as the effect that

MOVIE REVIEW

Life as improvisation Don’t Think Twice’s ace ensemble cast serves up ample laughs, plus a heart-wrench or two

C

onventional wisdom – or perhaps we should say armchair psychiatry – has it that actors in general and comedians in particular are emotionally maladjusted souls who feel more comfortable in fictional characters’ skins than their own, whose naturally low selfesteem requires regular bolstering via applause and laughter. Whether this generalization is universally true or not, many of us can attest to personal experiences with the salutary effects that becoming part of a theater “family” can have on a square-peg kind of kid who doesn’t quite fit in with the high school or college football team or sorority.

Just like those into which we’re born, however, such self-selected “families” can vacillate between being supportive and nurturing one day, cutting and competitive another. That’s the situation in which a long-running fictional New York City improvisational comedy collective called the Commune finds itself in Mike Birbiglia’s thought-provoking new comedy feature, Don’t Think Twice.

Heights of professional success to which all its members aspire beckon only two of them, in the form of invitations to work for a TV show very much like Saturday Night Live, and the group’s delicate balance of egos, loyalties and shared history is rattled. Making matters more acute is the fact that the theater where they hold their weekly shows is about to be sold and redeveloped. Sometimes group tensions can be worked out by sliding into the well-honed habit of improvising and making one another laugh; sometimes the issues are more serious than that, and the wounds too deep and permanent for easy healing.

The improv that keeps riffing throughout the movie seems utterly natural and spontaneous, even though this wonderful ensemble of actors is working from Birbiglia’s script. They’re all actual comics (and/or comedy writers) in real life, so their stage routines and more domestic interactions really do come off consistently as second nature. Some of the credit may be attributed to This American Life’s Ira Glass being one of the film’s producers, and knowing enough first-rate standup storytellers to be able to select a really talented, well-matched cast.

Every one of these actors is a treasure, and their chemistry together is magnificent.

or whatever and get $2 off your regular $10 ticket price ($8 for Rosendale Theatre Collective members). Before the screening gets underway, thematically attired audience members will be invited to dance, strut or stroll across the stage for an impromptu London Mod fashion show. In the Rosendale Theatre lobby, a “White Album Board” will be set up to encourage Beatles-related graffiti, and a poll will be taken for Favorite Beatles Song of All Time.

gain the right to vote in early-19th-century Britain.

The 2015 film, starring Carey Mulligan, Anne-Marie Duff and Helena Bonham Carter, poses historical figures and fictional characters as they embraced militant tactics in their fight for equality.

Though the film is about the British movement, American audiences can learn about our own suffrage movement, which imported this strain of civil disobedience from the British.

“Equal opportunity is as relevant a topic today as it was when Inez Milholland lost her life while campaigning across the West for federal suffrage or when Susan B. Anthony was arrested in Rochester for attempting to vote. With shockingly low numbers of Americans voting, citizens need to understand the cost and importance of the vote,” writes Karen Markisenis.

She describes Ulster County Suffragettes as an ad hoc group of activists who are just beginning to form as an organization.

The improv that keeps riffing throughout Don't Think Twice seems utterly natural and spontaneous, even though this wonderful ensemble of actors is working from Birbiglia’s script. Picture above (counterclockwise from bottom center) are: Keegan-Michael Key; Gillian Jacobs; Chris Gethard; Kate Micucci; Mike Birbiglia and Tami Sagher.

Though his own comedy laurels are outstanding – including a Lucille Lortel Award, Outer Critics’ Circle and Drama Desk nominations – director/screenwriter Birbiglia cast himself in the least appealing role: Miles, the improv troupe’s founder and mentor, who has never recovered from a close brush with big success and now, unable to accept the fact that he’s not the most talented member of the Commune, assuages his bruised ego by bedding his college-aged acting students.

All the rest of the members have their own baggage as well. Keegan-Michael Key, best-known as “Obama’s Anger Translator,” plays the irrepressibly funny Jack; Gillian Jacobs is his very-talented-but-unconfident girlfriend Samantha; Kate Micucci (of the musical comedy duo Garfunkel & Oates) is Allison, the brilliant cartoonist who can’t finish her book; Tami Sagher plays Lindsay, the only member of the group who doesn’t need to support herself with menial day jobs because her parents are well-off; and Chris Gethard is Bill, whose focus is diverted by the fact that his father is slowly dying from a motorcycle injury.

Every one of these actors is a treasure, and their chemistry together is magnificent.

It helps that they have a really well-written, genuinely funny and sometimes deeply emotional script to work with. There’s something meaningful in its message for everybody who has ever had to grow up and move on from some structure that has grown comfortable but is no longer sustainable. Don’t Think Twice has another week left to run at Upstate Films Rhinebeck. I enthusiastically recommend that you catch it.

“With the anniversary coming up next year, and what’s going on at the state level, we just got it into our heads that this is something we should do. In other countries people have died to get the right to vote; they’re risking their lives to vote in many places around the world. It’s disturbing that people who do have the right to vote in this country don’t. A lot of women don’t know the history. We want to educate people as to the past, the present and the future.”

Bradley Walker Tomlin, Still Life (Outward Preoccupation), 1939–1942. Oil on canvas, 33.5 x 44.5 in. Sarah Lawrence College Collection, Gift of the Mary Livingston Griggs and Mary Griggs Burke Foundation, 2015

His own feelings

A show of paintings of Bradley Walker Tomlin opens at Dorsky Museum

L

et’s start with the work and not the person. The retrospective of the paintings of Bradley Walker Tomlin, opening to the public this Saturday, September 10 at the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art at SUNYNew Paltz and running through December 11, stands up well in comparison with other shows of work by single members of the New York School of Abstract Expressionism that I have seen. For me, the show is that good.

Oh, sure, you can get blown away by solo shows of Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, Mark Rothko and Barnett Newman. But each of these artists – a famous photograph from November 1950 includes them and 11 others – did his

own thing. And so did the minor planets circling near the major names. The Nina Leen photograph has three Woodstockers: Adolph Gottlieb, James Brooks and Bradley Walker Tomlin. Other significant figures in the reproduction in the New Paltz catalogue of the photo include Ad Reinhardt, Robert Motherwell, Clyfford Still, William Baziotes, Richard PousetteDart, Jimmy Ernst and Theodore Stamos.

It’s important to add that not all the important Abstract Expressionists were pictured, of course: no Arshile Gorky, no Franz Kline, no David Smith, no Milton Avery, no Mark Tobey, no Philip Guston, no Sam Francis, no Helen Frankenthaler.

Some of them came into prominence later.

As curator Daniel Belasco shrewdly

points out in his essay, Tomlin’s place in art history, such as it was, was secured by his appearance in that 1950 photograph and one other thing: his inclusion in the Museum of Modern Art’s traveling exhibition of 1958/59, “The New American Painting.” Important art critic Clement Greenberg’s statement that Tomlin had “joined up” with the others “codified the misunderstanding that To m l i n followed and did not innovate,” according to Belasco.

The present New Paltz one-man show gives the lie to that line of thinking. Though the members of the New York School certainly influenced each other’s work, I can’t think of any whose homages stooped to imitation. Maybe that’s due to the nature of abstraction itself. My dreams are not your dreams, and yours are not mine. Each of the Abstract Expressionists developed his own language and vocabulary, his own gestures, expressed his own inner feelings.

Miracle upon miracle: Many produced masterpieces.

In one of the few Tomlin writings in the incredibly carefully produced New Paltz

show catalogue, the artist speculates about the mystery of art, likening painting techniques to articles of clothing available to the artist on a hall rack. The artist picks one, perhaps a tattered old hat: “Confronted by the cast of his own mind, he says, ‘It is at least mine.’” Thus begins the miracle of art.

Why was Clement Greenberg, usually so right in his pronouncements, so wrong this time? If you’ve ever looked down at a bathroom floor where colored tiles seem placed in a seemingly random distribution, you’ll know exactly why.

You try to find that hidden pattern, that sense of order.

It seems only logical that there is one. It seems so right that there would be one.

And there isn’t one.

In Tomlin’s late work, there are ebbs and flows of relationships of forms, gestures and colors. The painted lines are often thick, as though made with a roller; the colors usually playfully placed, the way a small child might have done it. There seems sometimes to be a layering of paint, and sometimes not.

After examining the careful evolution of Tomlin’s competent earlier work

My dreams are not your dreams, and yours are not mine.

Each of the Abstract Expressionists developed his own language and vocabulary, his own gestures, expressed his own inner feelings.

September 8, 2016 from commercial artist to experimenter with various artistic styles (including calligraphy), look at the last abstract paintings in the final room of the Dorsky show. You say to yourself that there must be a guiding grid, pattern or probabilistic distribution; you just don’t see it.

At least I didn’t see it. And that’s why I came away loving the work. For me, art doesn’t get better than this. Like John Cage taught us, the happy accident of life affords an inscrutable mixture of plan and improvisation, pattern and outburst, control and exuberance, display and disguise. This guy Tomlin has been greatly underrated.

This Sunday, September 11 at 2 p.m., a panel consisting of art historians Svetlana Alpers and Tom Wolf and curator Daniel Belasco is scheduled to discuss Bradley Walker Tomlin’s legacy. Moderated by Janice La Motta, the event will be held at the Student Union Building, Rooms 62/63, on the SUNY-New Paltz campus.

Pandimensional explorations

“In/Animate” at Dorsky Museum surveys recent work by SUNY Metals Program chair Myra Mimlitsch-Gray he Sara Bedrick Gallery at the Dorsky Museum at SUNY-New Paltz will be home until December 11 to a survey of the past decade of work (plus some earlier pieces) by the head of the Metals Program at SUNY-New Paltz, internationally renowned metalsmith Myra Mimlitsch-Gray. Curated by author Akiko Busch, “In/Animate” explores a variety of artistic processes using iron, copper, brass, silver and enameled steel.

Having earned her BFA at the Philadelphia College of Art (now known as the University of the Arts) and her MFA from the Cranbrook Academy of Art, Mimlitsch-Gray had been teaching at Purdue University prior to taking up a post at SUNY-New Paltz in 1993. The New Paltz Metals Program already had a reputation as one of the best of its kind in the US, and it was far from the first time that she had visited the campus: “I was connected to both a student and a faculty member,” she says, attending colloquia of top Metals programs from “seven or eight schools that got together in this way.” Having already established a strong reputation in the field, she was offered the position vacated by the retirement of Fred Woell, and “shared responsibility codirecting the program” for about 20 years with Jamie Bennett, up until he retired in 2014.

Art programs that specialize in metals are often thought of as primarily training grounds for jewelers, but there’s a lot more to the SUNY-New Paltz than goldand silversmithing. “I teach everything from Basic Metal to Graduate Thesis,” Mimlitsch-Gray says, grounding students in metalworking techniques without imposing her own preferred areas of artistic inquiry, aesthetic or media. “I want

them to discover their own approach to this vocabulary of objects…The way issues of identity can be explored and expressed through objects is important.”

Though she made a lot of jewelry early in her career, her interest quickly turned to the deconstruction of familiar housewares. “My work exists as homage and critique as it engages traditional objects, their purpose and presence in contemporary society,” she writes in her Artist’s Statement in the exhibition catalogue. “Exploring craft’s social function and identity continues to motivate my investigation of new forms.

I locate the pieces I make in the domestic sphere: mantel, sideboard, table. Their implied purposes drive the content of my work.”

In the first decade of the 2000s, Mimlitsch-Gray did a residency at the Kohler Company’s Arts/Industry

program, producing a large body of artworks based on common housewares that clearly convey her sense of visual wit.

There’s a series of cast-iron skillets warped into strange shapes to fit a bratwurst or two, or twisted like one of Dalí’s melting watches. Another line features corn pone pans and platters decorated with impressions of corncobs; titles like Mitosis and Monsanto add tongue-in-cheek layers of meaning that transcend the objects’ original utilitarian nature. Silver objects from this period, such as candlesticks, appear to be melting into a puddle; or she uses negative space by putting the imprint of a vanished sugarbowl into a block of

metal. “Nothing in the domestic landscape remains static,” comments curator Busch in the catalogue.

Mimlitsch-Gray’s more recent work has trended away from the specifically historical and more into the abstract.

“She is working to translate her formal references to craft and function into a new vocabulary free from the theory that has taken over the dialogue around making in recent years,” the Dorsky’s curator of exhibitions and programs, Daniel Belasco, writes in the catalogue. Though still inspired by housewares, the intended functions of many of the newer objects are dubious and vague. Amorphously

shaped vessels are punctured, sliced, split, peeled back to reveal contrasting materials underneath. The artist has also been exploring the potentialities of enameled metalware, the contrast between the “nostalgia” of old-fashioned steel spatterware objects with the clinical, detached, “laboratory” feel of a high-gloss vitreous finish. “The surface and firing process can sometimes be a mystery,” says Mimlitsch-Gray about the challenge of teaching herself these new techniques.

A storm of inspiration Composers Ben Neill & Mimi Goese seek Hurricane Sandy footage for Fathom: Hudson River Data as Music The Beacon Institute for Rivers and Estuaries (BIRE) of Clarkson University has been trying to bridge the culture gap between science geeks and Joe and Jane Average by organizing an interesting ongoing series of public infotainment events in restaurants and watering holes along Beacon’s Main Street. Upcoming in the Science Café series is the debut performance of a new multimedia performance piece titled Fathom: Hudson River Data as Music, to be unveiled at the Towne Crier Café on November 17.

Mid-November may sound like a long way off, but you need to know about this project now if you have shot some nice video footage of the Hudson River – and especially if you happened to have had the camera rolling during Hurricane Sandy. That’s because the composers of Fathom are compiling video snippets to be integrated with river data animations into a visual collage that will be screened as part of the piece’s performance. So if you were shooting the wild weather’s effects on the Hudson or its tributaries, Ben Neill and Mimi Goese want to hear from you.

Yes, citizen science can also be art!

The composition, commissioned last fall

by BIRE specifically for the Science Café Series, is based on data provided by its River and Estuary Observatory Network

The Stevenson Library at Bard College is hosting a new exhibit: “Blooks: The Art of Books that Aren’t,” through October 30. Cases in the library’s lobby and on the second floor display “blooks” from the collection of Mindell Dubansky, and they are on view from 8:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 8:30 to 5 p.m. on Friday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday. There will be an opening reception on Monday, September 12 from 4 to 6 p.m., and a tour and talk on Friday, September 30, at 5 p.m.

Dubansky is head of the Sherman Fairchild Center for Book Conservation at the Thomas J. Watson Library, the main research library of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. She writes on the book arts and for more than 20 years has collected and researched the history of book-objects, in order to illustrate and interpret their scope and shed light on the human relationship to the book as an object.

The project is partially funded by New Music USA, and both of the composer/ performers have powerful reputations in the avant-garde music field. Ben Neill has been dubbed “the mad scientist of dancefloor jazz” by CMJ New Music Report; Goese has been described by Brian Eno as having “a sort of Alice in Wonderland voice.” Neill and Goese, along with playwright Warren Leight, were commissioned by the Brooklyn Academy of Music to create the theatrical work Persephone (starring Julia Stiles) for the 2010 Next Wave Festival.

The composers ask that video submissions be less than one minute long and feature the Hudson River prominently in some way; videos of Hurricane Sandy are of particular interest. All producers of footage used in the final productions will be credited. Technical specifications for video submissions are listed online at www.mimigoeseandbenneill.com.

need to preregister at www.bire.org/ events. Admission is free, but attendees are encouraged to arrive early, dine, imbibe and enjoy the venue. The Towne Crier Café is located at 379 Main Street in Beacon.

Exhibition of WPA mural sketches opens this Friday at Vassar “The Depression and World War II eras were a time in the arts – painting, printmaking, drawing, film, photography, dance, music, literature and theater – when ideas lifting up the average citizen to a starring role blossomed,” writes Patricia Phagan, the Philip and Lynn Straus curator of Prints and Drawings at the Francis Lehman Loeb Art Center at Vassar. She explains that central to this blossoming was the renewed belief in the importance of the laborer. The federal government sponsored numerous work programs, including many for visual artists. Wall paintings featuring largerthan-life figures, all involved in some sort of work, covered walls in public buildings across the country.

A new exhibition at Vassar College’s Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center focuses on the Golden Age of murals in America through a series of preliminary sketches from the Steven and Susan Hirsch Collection. “Celebrating Heroes: American Mural Studies of the 1930s and 1940s” depicts everyday workers: Thousands of realistically portrayed miners, settlers, Native Americans, steelworkers, farmers and others inhabit murals painted during the Great Depression in government buildings and schools across the nation.

Such wall paintings were accessible to anyone who could enter a post office or a public school or a government building.

The artwork not only featured common

folks, but was accessible to the average person.

The exhibition displays 47 paintings and drawings, destined to be reproduced on walls, including some from local artists: Anton Refregier, Judson Smith, Edward Chávez, Andrée Ruellan, John Ruggles, Arnold Blanch, Richard Crist, Juanita Guccione, Georgina Klitgaard and Jenne Magafan. Other artists included are Peppino Mangravite, Philo B. Ruggles, Stuyvesant Van Veen and Poughkeepsie native Thomas Barrett. “Celebrating Heroes” honors Susan and Steven Hirsch, Class of 1971, patrons of the museum since the early 1990s and donors of 45 mural sketches to the Art Center. Additionally, two mural sketches from other sources are in the permanent collection.

The significance of murals created in the era between the Great Depression and World War II exists in their subject matter. Compared to murals of the past that centered on allegories and neoclassical ideals, these celebrated the struggle and effort of everyday people during a harsh period. Phagan writes that they “carved out a new ideal for American mural painting inspired in part by the socially conscious panels of the Mexican muralists and the regional murals of Thomas Hart Benton and Boardman Robinson.” Picturing ordinary historical or contemporary scenes in monumental size, the murals elevated the subject matter to that of the mythological.

“These projects stemmed from a government-led push to put artists to work, just like other citizens,” she says.

In what Woodstock painter Judson Smith called a “renaissance,” artists were deemed as workers with skills worthy of keeping alive. The Federal Art Project of the Works Progress Administration basically hired unemployed artists, while the Section of Painting and Sculpture (later the Section of Fine Arts) hired artists who

were considered the most qualified for a particular job. “Artists felt a kinship with the everyday worker, and they felt for the first time that they were a part of the social fabric of society.”

Some murals can still be seen at locations in the Hudson Valley, but many of the New Deal murals have been uninstalled or have been moved to other government buildings where they can be viewed. “The story of their making lies in the sketches made by artists vying in regional or national competitions or given commissions directly,” Phagan notes. There are also those sketches in this exhibition that failed to win mural contests, including ones made for the Poughkeepsie Post Office. Studying these sketches affords an opportunity to see the themes that emerged during the period.

This concept is revealed in mural sketches by Russian-born Woodstock artist Anton Refregier for the Rincon Annex of the San Francisco Post Office.

“Refregier’s mural studies on the history of the City of San Francisco open the exhibition and encapsulate several of the heroic subjects in the mural sketches by other artists,” Phagan says. “His themes on Native Americans, settlers, the history of the city, farming, industry and opposition to forces undermining a free society are all topics in the other works on view, and those themes guide the exhibition.”

An opening lecture will be held this Friday in Taylor Hall, delivered by Gerald E. Markowitz, distinguished professor of History at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York and John Jay College of Criminal Justice. Dr. Markowitz has written several books on American social history and public health. He is coauthor of Democratic Vistas: Post Offices and Public Art in the New Deal and the exhibition catalogue New Deal for Art: The Government Art Projects of the 1930s with Examples from New York City and State.

A reception will follow in the Art Center Atrium.

A second opportunity to delve into the exhibition will take place on Thursday, September 22, when Phagan provides an overview of the “Celebrating Heroes” exhibition as a whole and explores several key works in detail. “Celebrating Heroes,” which is on exhibit until December 18, is organized by the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center and supported by the Evelyn Metzger Exhibition Fund.

Clearwater Family Day at the Esopus PHOTO OF PAVILION AT ESOPUS MEADOWS PRESERVE BY ROBERT RODRIGUEZ, JR. Meadows Preserve (one of my go-to parks because it’s actually on the river) takes place on Saturday, September 10 from 2 to 7 p.m. The festivities include river seining, holding a long, cool net and seeing what you caught; a nature scavenger hunt; live family-friendly music, such as one of my favorite family bands, Ratboy, Jr.; interactive entertainment with the Storycrafters; hands-on creating for all ages with Urth Arts; and kids’ activities from the volunteers at the Clearwater Revival children’s area.

Bonus: Tell me one more time how you saw eagles there, and I didn’t.

Admission is free for this season highlight. Bring a chair, a snack and a clear schedule so you can hang out all day. The Esopus Meadows Preserve is located at 257 River Road in Ulster Park. For more information, call (845) 265-8080 or visit www.clearwater.org/event/family-day-esopus-meadows.

“Migrating Birds” at John Burroughs’ Slabsides takes place on Saturday, September 10 at 10 a.m. with Mark DeDea, a naturalist who transforms simple walks into fascinating strolls, based on the fun, easy, clear, accessible ways in which he explains bird culture, identification and ecosystems. Worried that your questions are too dumb to bring up on a bird walk? No problem; Mark loves questions – even if, hypothetically, it takes you longer than the rest of the group to find a bird with your binoculars and suddenly you’re like “OMG I’m birding!” or, again hypothetically, if you repeat the same question that you asked about a Northern flicker last time. Or perhaps you are an experienced birder who requires a smart and skilled guide to walk with: Mark’s your guy. Plus, the hikes at Slabsides are so enjoyable to explore, and it’s all free!

John Burroughs’ Slabsides is located at 261 Floyd Ackert Road in West Park. For more information, call (845) 384-6556, e-mail info@johnburroughsassociation.org or visit www.hudsonrivervalleyramble.com/ramble/events/ev-detail/migratingbirds-at-john-burroughs-slabsides.

The Catskill Interpretive Center’s History Walk takes place at 10 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday, September 10 and 11 on the Nature/History Trail. Are you looking for information about the early settlers during Colonial times? Here you go! Wish it were an ADA-accessible trail? You’ve got it! Need an excuse to drive past Meredith’s Bread to pick up a gluten-free black & white cookie or three? You’re welcome (415 Route 28, Kingston – get me one, too?).

The Maurice D. Hinchey Catskill Interpretive Center is located at 5096 Route 28 in Mount Tremper. For more information, call (845) 688-3369 or visit http://catskillinterpretivecenter.org and www.facebook.com/catskillinterpretivecenter.

Performances take place on Friday, September 9 at 8 p.m. and Saturday, September 10 at 2 and 8 p.m. Tickets cost $15, or $12 for Rosendale Theatre members. The Rosendale Theatre is located at 408 Main Street in Rosendale.

Playback Theatre tackles climate change at Tillson’s Rail Trail Café Are you passionate about reversing climate change? Or does this issue feel more like a headline, abstract and distant to you? Here’s a chance to connect with this topic in a fresh, personal and interactive way, no matter what your level of interest. On Friday, September 9, check out “Changing Climate Change: Theatre for a Healthy Planet” with improv and music by Hudson River Playback Theatre at the Rail Trail Café.

The way it works, the theater troupe invites audience members’ stories, feelings and vision related to climate change, and the actors somehow tie it all together, bring those elements to life and make it all feel even more relevant and meaningful to the rest of us. I always feel energized and lighter after attending a Playback performance. Admission is free, but a hat will be passed around for donations.

Watch the group’s Facebook page for updates, in case of inclement weather.

The Rail Trail Café is located at 310 River Road Extension in Tillson, right beside the parking lot on Stone Mountain Farm. For more information, call (845) 255-7716 or visit www.facebook.com/ events/1657107507941464 or http:// hudsonriverplayback.org.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 10

Music Together visits Staatsburg’s Dinsmore Hose Company “Hello, I’m Uncle Gerry, so glad to see you!” If you’ve taken Music Together classes with your littles over the years, you probably read that line with the lilting “Hello Song” melody; and if you haven’t had the pleasure of participating in these session before, here’s a terrific way to get a taste of this early childhood music program!

This Saturday, September 10 from 10 to 11 a.m., join the “Uncle Gerry” Dignan and teachers from Mid-Hudson Music Together and Catskill Mountain Music Together for a free family concert, raffles and fun at the Dinsmore Hose Company. Music Together songs are full of interactive call-and-response and movement, and this event is perfect for youngsters through the younger elementary ages, or for older kids nostalgic for the MT canon.

The Dinsmore Hose Company is located at 49 Old Post Road in Staatsburg, just down the road from the library. For more information, call (845) 889-4683, e-mail info@mhmusictogether.com or info@ catskillmountainmusictogether.com, or visit www.mhmusictogether.com or http://

Your crew may especially enjoy this show because it includes some youth artists such as Lyle Bicking and Jayla Smith, and also because there is a cool cave on the property that you can explore: the Widow Jane Mine. Let me know what you think!

The Century House Historical Society is located at the Snyder Estate at 668 Route 213 in Rosendale. For more information, visit http://insiterosendale.com.

“After Great Pain: Suicide” at Elting Library in New Paltz Over the years, helping our kids fix problems can look like kissing boo-boos, filling ice packs, hugging through smiles or tears, encouraging one more attempt, talking it out and a million more ways that say “I see you, I hear you, I love you.” We keep showing up. But sometimes our kids need more – a lot more. Then what? The second leading cause of death for young people from ages 15 to 24 is suicide; how do we fix that?

How do we navigate pathways to prevention and support?

KIDS' ALMANAC

Check out Dean Jones’ In My Dreams album

“I

f you were a fruit, what fruit would you be?” queries local musician and Grammy Award-winning producer Dean Jones in “What Kind of Fruit?” the first track of his new album, In My Dreams (Dean counts Minnewaska blueberries among his favorite fruits).

In My Dreams delights for a variety of reasons. “I love songs that are questions,” says Dean. To me, his songs like “Do You Talk to Yourself?” and “Have You Ever Been Real?” break down a sort of musical fourth wall, implying a special collaboration between musician and listener by singing these questions directly to us.

His fun, clever lyrics stand out in tunes like “Swiss Cheese Angels”: “got holes in their wings/ Yeah, they might not fly too good, but they sure can sing,” or just the mention of the Borzoi breed in “In My Dreams I Have a Dog.” The Bali steel pan drum in “Do You Talk to Yourself ?” adds a fresh, unique texture to the music, reflecting Dean’s influences growing GISELLE POTTER up, listening to Calypso and Trinidadian steel pan.

“Nighttime” is a gem. Dean flips what can be a rigid and charged zone of darkness for kids and families into real flow with creative, expansive and gentle sounds.

Looking for visuals? “I’d Like to Fly like a Bird” and “In My Dreams I Have a Dog” even have their own charming videos, which you can see here: www.youtube. com/watch?v=Nc1plhH7j70 and www.youtube.com/watch?v=lerxAc01q2Q. In My Dreams is alive and vibrant through its skillful repetition of simple, appealing melodies, like “Oh Little Baby,” that draw us in and stay a while. You can get a copy for your family, and I highly recommend a second one for a gift: Downloads cost $8.99, or get the CD for $11.99 at www.cdbaby.com/cd/ deanjones7, where you can also listen to samples. For more information, visit www.dogonfleas.com.

Well, here’s one place to begin, just listening to some people who know this world firsthand: “After Great Pain: Suicide,” a program in recognition of World Suicide Prevention Day 2016.

“After Great Pain: Suicide” takes place on Saturday, September 10 from 4:30 to 6 p.m. at the Elting Memorial Library, featuring authors Ingrid Blaufarb, Losing Aaron; Phoebe Hoss, All Eyes: A Mother’s Struggle to Save Her Schizophrenic Son; and National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) Mid-Hudson program director Tina Lee. You’ll hear personal stories about the impact of a family member’s mental illness on parents and siblings and ways to support a loved one in crisis; but just being there is one more way to be in conversation on this topic. This event is free and open to the public.

The Elting Memorial Library is located at 93 Main Street in New Paltz.

For more information, call (845) 2555030 or visit www.eltinglibrary.org.

Accessibility Awareness Day at the Walkway Have you been watching the 2016 Rio Paralympic Games? I wonder how many of us feel like daily life accessibility is a comparable challenge.

When did you encounter your first accessibility issue? Was it a bathroom too tiny to accommodate a parent with a child who requires assistance?

Websites that you could not navigate while recovering from carpal tunnel or a broken arm? A struggle pushing a stroller along uneven sidewalks or mounting curbsides? Exhaustion

from climbing a flight of stairs while on crutches?

Gabriel McMoreland is a vocal advocate for accessibility and shares this food for thought: “I think a lot of accessibility failures in a streetscape will become obvious when you start looking for them.

Pay attention to the sidewalks and think about the actual paths that pedestrians take throughout their day. I like to ask, ‘Was this space built for cars, or for people?’ Then look for the details of how a person would actually move through the space. Details matter. I have a lot of trouble finding unfamiliar bus stops because I can’t read the words on the sign, although I can still see the outlines of all the street signs.”

Would you like to be a force for improving and updating the mindset of accessibility in our community?

Join Cerebral Palsy of Ulster County’s Accessibility Awareness Day on the Highland side of the Walkway over the Hudson this Saturday, September 10 from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. The $25 registration fee includes a chance to connect with other accessibility advocates, a tee-shirt, guest speakers, music, a bake sale and a silent auction – all in celebration of access to recreational spaces for everyone! Proceeds benefit Cerebral Palsy’s life-changing services for people with disabilities throughout the Hudson Valley.

Walkway over the Hudson is located at 87 Haviland Road in Highland. For more information, to register your participation or to sponsor, call (845) 3367235, extension 2197, e-mail csheehan@ cpulster.org or visit www.cpulster.org/ accessibility-awareness-day.

anniversary of 9/11 with your family?

Consider these thoughtful offerings happening at the Kingston waterfront this weekend. The John J. Harvey fireboat, pulled out of retirement to provide the only water source to help with the Twin Towers fires on 9/11, arrives at the Hudson River Maritime Museum docks this Friday, September 9 and is open for deck tours and free public sails on Saturday and Sunday, September 10 and 11. I suggest reading with your kids beforehand the children’s book, Fireboat: The Heroic Adventures of the John J. Harvey, by Maira Kalman; or get to the 1 p.m. storytimes on Saturday and Sunday to learn more about the history of this special vessel.

The PATH train Car 143, saved from the World Trade Center attack, is on display all day Saturday at the Trolley Museum of New York, with a dedication ceremony on Sunday at 12 noon.

make dinner for your family? It’s Sparrow’s Nest to the rescue! Sparrow’s Nest is a local charity whose mission is to provide weekly meal deliveries to parents with cancer who are undergoing chemotherapy treatments, radiation or surgery and also have children under 18 years old.

Susan Conrad talks about her Inside Passage kayak trip

T

wo opportunities to meet a woman who lived her dream by paddling an 18-foot sea kayak through a 1,200-mile-long remote northern waterway are coming up this next week. Susan Conrad, author of Inside: One Woman’s Journey through the Inside Passage, will appear at Mills Mansion in Staatsburg and at New Paltz’s Rock and Snow to talk about her solo adventure. On a journey dubbed by one reviewer as a “Northwest Pacific Coast odyssey,” Conrad kayaked north from the Puget Sound in Washington along the coast of British Columbia to Alaska in the spring of 2010.

And like Odysseus, she also traveled inward. Calling on her own strength and courage, she paddled marathon distances for 66 days, forging unusual friendships along the way and testing her own resolve when confronted by 700-pound grizzlies and 40-ton whales.

Fear, solitude, exhaustion and “crushing sadness” accompanied Conrad on her epic trip. In Inside, she recounts it all, ending with acceptance and gratitude, triumph and tragedy.

An extraordinary route typically defined as extending from Anacortes, Washington to Juneau, Alaska, the Inside Passage boasts spectacular fjords along one of the most convoluted coastlines in the world. The coastal landmass is habitat for bears, wolves, sea lions, a host of other sea mammals, sea birds and birds of prey.

Conrad’s spectacular photographs of sea and sky and all of nature are breathtaking.

Susan Conrad, author of Inside: One Woman’s Journey through the Inside Passage, will appear at Mills Mansion in Staatsburg and at New Paltz’s Rock and Snow to talk about her solo adventure.

They almost make a reader want to buy a boat and a tent and take off. Short of doing such an impulsive thing, taking in her story may send you on an inward journey of your own, which is what all good memoirs do.

Conrad has been involved in the paddlesports industry for more than 25 years and is an adventure ambassador and sponsored athlete for EXPED, an equipment company that promotes “maximum outdoor experience with minimal means.” She currently holds an American Canoe Association Open Water Coastal certification. Also an author, educator and speaker, she has written stories and shot images of the natural world for decades, with articles and photographs appearing in Sea Kayaker, Canoe and Kayak, Adventures Northwest and Figure magazines, along with numerous newspapers, guidebooks and historical journals.

Everything Ulster Publishing in one place.

In the podcast What’s up Bainbridge with host Wendy Wallace, Conrad says, “I talk about the food and the gear and charts and logistics: the left-brain component of pulling off an adventure such as this.

Then I talk about the journey itself, the why of it all. There’s a lot of reasons I took on this challenge: first, my love of water. I wanted to satisfy this craving for adventure and solitude. I wanted to see how I’d handle adversity and how it might make me a stronger version of myself. I wanted to experience firsthand the potential for magic I might find along the way. When you travel solo there’s heightened awareness – this sense of clarity that I don’t get when I travel with other people. It’s about introspection and self-harmony. I was ready for some ‘Susan time.’”

Her motto is “Live. Breathe. Paddle.”

Inside is Conrad’s debut memoir.

– Ann Hutton

hot election issue was whether or not to repeal the 18th Amendment that enforced prohibition. That was a really controversial topic, deeply imbedded in social, religious, and economic conditions of the day.

Speaker Eleanor (Ellie) Charwat will take her audience back to that time and the tumultuous years leading up to it, in her presentation, “Bootlegging in the Hudson Valley,” sponsored by the Town of Lloyd Historical Preservation Society (TOLHPS) on Monday, September 12 at 7 pm. The program, to be held in the Vineyard Commons Theater in Highland, is free and open to the public.

Charwat, who retired from Marist College after several years in administration and as a teacher, is the author of two books, Small Town Lawyer: Highlights of Nathaniel Rubin’s Career, about her father, and a memoir, A Life Well-Lived. She began delving deeply into the whole era of prohibition from its beginning in 1919 when some people felt sure that sin would decrease and others feared it would be the end of fun and cheer.

Charwat’s research revealed that Poughkeepsie, she discovered, once had 37 speakeasies. Kingston is home of many prohibition-era stories, too.

Free refreshments – non-alcoholic – will be available.

Susan Conrad talk/slideshow, Saturday, September 10, 6 p.m., Mills Mansion, Norrie State Park, Staatsburg, (845) 246-2187; Friday, September 16, 8 p.m., Rock and Snow, 44 Main Street, New Paltz, (845) 255-1311; www.susanmarieconrad.com.

ALMANAC WEEKLY

September 8, 2016

NIGHT SKY

The Moon returns â&#x20AC;&#x201C; And delivers a strange non-eclipse

T

his weekend the Moon presents its best features for telescopes and binoculars. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a perfect Half Moon on Friday, September 9, with craters and mountain ranges optimally illuminated. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also notice that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s low. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in Sagittarius, more or less lined up with the center of our galaxy.

Each night thereafter, it offers its gibbous phase â&#x20AC;&#x201C; meaning: fatter than half, but thinner than full. This too provides fabulous lighting for anyone with a small telescope.

The gibbous business abruptly ends next Friday, the 16th, when the Moon is full.

This is the Full Moon closest to the Autumnal Equinox. Such an equinoctial Full Moon always rises and sets due east and due west, or close to it. More than that, many internet sites, almanacs and other media outlets are announcing that this Moon is going into eclipse. But is it?

Sort of. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a penumbral eclipse. The eclipse happens around 3 p.m. on Friday the 16th, when the Moon wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even be out. But if you lived in Europe or Asia and could see itâ&#x20AC;Śwell, this is the third penumbral eclipse this year, so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a strange glut of them; and what does this even mean?

When I took over as astronomy editor of the Old Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Almanac more than a quarter-century ago, the first thing I did was eliminate all mention of penumbral eclipses.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because people would read â&#x20AC;&#x153;eclipseâ&#x20AC;? and then go out, but see nothing. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d get turned off to astronomy or else think that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d made a mistake. Penumbral eclipses were lose/lose. You see, the Full Moon really doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look any different during a penumbral eclipse. Sometimes thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be a very slight gray shading on one part of the Moon, but almost nobody would notice it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big zero.

Still, you might find the penumbral concept interesting. Turns out that everything casts two different shadows. If you look at your own shadow on the sidewalk, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see a main part where the Sun is completely blocked out. But thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a less-dark blurry fringe surrounding your shadow. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your penumbral shadow. If an ant ventured into this penumbral section, it would see the sun partially but not fully blocked.

PHOTO OF LUNAR SURFACE BY THOMAS BRESSON

Our planet casts a black umbral shadow into space. Anything venturing into it is completely robbed of sunlight. Earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s umbral shadow gets smaller and smaller the farther it goes. It tapers like a chopstick and disappears entirely a million miles from us in the anti-sunward direction.

But Earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s penumbral shadow behaves differently: It gets larger as it goes farther from us. So itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very easy for a nearby celestial object like the Moon, if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not lined up exactly, to venture into our penumbral but miss our umbral shadow. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what happened three times this year. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Bob Berman Want to know more?

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

The grapes of my wrath Some less-than-impressive varieties will get the axe at the end of this growing season

C

rossing the bridge over the Wallkill River on my way home, I glance to my right to admire the river itself. What a beautiful color it has turned: a bright turquoise. Ponds that I pass also have taken on this bright complexion, for which we can thank (or curse) organisms known as blue-green algae (hereafter referred to as BGA).

Algae they are not, though. BGA are bacteria known as cyanobacteria.

“Algae” generally refers to eukaryotes: organisms with distinct nuclei and specialized organelles. BGA are prokaryotes, lacking such features.

BGA can be toxic, which is good reason to curse them.

Drinking or swimming in contaminated waters can cause problems to humans and other animals, including dogs, who seem to be otherwise able to drink almost any water without ill effect. The “cyan” in the name and the criminal cyanotoxins are not at all related to cyanide. The name come from “cyan,” which is the color bluegreen.

Many kinds of BGA are found throughout the world, often in extreme conditions. Not all produce cyanotoxins; some produce them only under certain conditions. Not all are even bluegreen; the Red Sea gets its color from Trichodesmium erythraeum, a species of BGA. Certain conditions cause “blooms,” such as those that I was admiring in the river and ponds. Here, it’s probably a combination of relatively dry conditions, resulting in shallow and calm waters, along with the usual influx of nutrients: mostly phosphorus and mostly from farms, septic systems and lawns.

BGA are photosynthetic organisms, just like plants, imbibing carbon dioxide during the day and spewing out oxygen. These primitive organisms, “in the beginning,” were important for oxygenizing the Earth’s atmosphere, thus

stimulating biodiversity. We could praise them for sequestering carbon.

Agriculturally, some cyanobacteria are important because they can convert atmospheric nitrogen into forms of nitrogen that plants can use. Although these cyanobacteria are especially important for maintaining the fertility of rice paddies, they are present, to some degree, in virtually all soils.

Some research even points to benefits of inoculating soils with these organisms.

What a beautiful color the Wallkill River has turned: a bright turquoise. We can thank (or curse) organisms known as blue-green algae, though algae they are not.

So now I’m home, my head out of the soil, and admiring my grapevines.

The dry weather has been almost as good for the grapes as it has been for the cyanobacteria. Dry weather minimizes grape diseases, and abundant sunlight puts flavor and sweetness into the berries. With annual applications of mulch around the grapes and their far-reaching roots, I never worry about my established vines being thirsty.

Back in early summer, we went to the trouble of affixing paper “delicatessen” bags around 100 bunches. Now is the payoff. Peeling back the paper usually reveals perfect, full, bloom-dusted bunches of especially delectable grapes – “especially delectable” because I can let these protected bunches hang longer on the vines than unbagged bunches, which do have some disease and are prey to bees, wasps and birds. These bagged grapes get dead-ripe before being harvested.

The bagging isn’t really all that troublesome. We just select downwardhanging bunches – made easier because I train fruiting canes horizontally across a flat five-wire trellis – and remove any tendrils or leaves opposite the bunches.

After making a slit down each side of a bag, the slitted opening is slid up the cane on either side of the bunch, the top of the bag is folded over, and then the County Players Falls Theatre, 2681 W. Main St, Wappingers Falls. Info: 845-298-1491, countyplayers.org. $17, $14/senior/under 12.

Bagging grapes

flap stapled down on either side: wellworth the minute or so that it takes from selection to finish bagging a bunch.

With many varieties of established grapevines, I can cut down any whose flavor is not up to snuff or that don’t produce well without having to bemoan waiting for new ones to start bearing. The “keepers” tide me over.

Variety choice is somewhat limited here because of winter cold and because cooler, damp air collects in this valley, promoting disease, abetted by inoculum from all the wild grapevines grappling high into neighboring trees along the forest edge. I’ll be doing away with Mars and Concord.

Some of my current favorite varieties are Vanessa, Somerset Seedless and Glenora, all seedless varieties. Of the three, Glenora has the best flavor, Vanessa the best texture; but they’re all very good. Some of my favorite seeded varieties are Alden, whose corpulent berries hang in large bunches, and Brianna, which isn’t quite ripe yet, but every year has rewarded us with foxy-flavored pale-green berries. throughout the region (9/3-9/25). Events take place throughout the Hudson Valley Region/ Greenway and National Heritage Area. Admission & fees vary- see website for details. 1.

LEE REICH | ALMANAC WEEKLY

Still to come for this season is Edelweiss, which has a rich, very foxy flavor but has not been very productive the last few years.

A few more years of tasting and watching will dictate whether New York Muscat, Cayuga White, Bertille Seyve 2758, Lorelei, Reliance, Swenson White and Wapanuka keep their home here. They’re all good grapes; but why grow good grapes when I could grow great grapes from among the 5,000 or so varieties (not all adaptable here, of course)?

(That “foxy” flavor that I kept referring to is characteristic of many American grapes, and is typified by the variety Concord. No one is sure how “foxy” came to describe that flavor.)

PRAYER TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN. (Never known to fail.) Oh, most faithful flower of Mt. Carmel, fruitful vine splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son of God. Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity. Oh Star of the Sea, help me and show me, herein you are my mother. Oh, Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in this necessity. There are none that can withstand your power. Oh, show me herein you are my mother. Oh Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee (3x).

Holy Mary, I place this cause in your hands (3x). Holy Spirit, you who solve all problems, light all roads so that I can attain my goal. You who gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me and that in all instances in my life you are with me, I want in this short prayer to thank-you for all things as you confirm once again that I never want to be separated from you in eternal glory. Thank-you for your mercy towards me and mine. The person must say this prayer 3 consecutive days. After 3 days, the request will be granted. This prayer must be published after the favor is granted.
