about being granted official sanction to do something that’s usually deemed to be transgressive – like creatively “defacing” public property. Each fall for the past 15 years, on the Saturday preceding Columbus Day weekend, the Village of Tivoli has set a day aside to indulge the naughty inner child of any interested resident or visitor. Municipal employees paint black-framed white backgrounds on 150 eight-byeight foot squares of pavement along Broadway, from North Road to Pine Street, and then village officials hand out boxes of pastels or sidewalk chalk to wannabe artists and invite them to “have at it.”

Their participatory street art free-for-all is called the Tivoli Street Painting Festival, and it costs nothing to join. Children may participate, as long as there’s adult in attendance. You do need to register, though; that can be done by filling out an application form downloadable at www. tivoliny.org. To ensure yourself a spot, either mailing it to Village Hall or drop it off in advance. You can also register on the day of the event, beginning at 9 a.m. if any spaces remain unclaimed. You must start your artwork by 11 a.m. or your designated space may be reassigned. Work must be completed by 5 p.m., when the street will be reopened to traffic.

Music in the bluegrass/Americana vein will be supplied to keep the mood lively while the artists are in the throes of creation.

Bardavon screens Kenneth Branagh’s stage production of Romeo and Juliet

The Walt Disney Studios’ 2015 liveaction remake of Cinderella was an underwhelming pile of saccharine froth, despite having a big budget and earnest, well-credentialed Shakespearean Kenneth Branagh at the helm. The director must’ve been pleased with his acting ensemble for the film, though, because he brought several of them back together for the Kenneth Branagh Theatre Company’s recent production of Romeo and Juliet at London’s Garrick Theatre. A performance of the show was filmed, and will be screened this Saturday afternoon at the Bardavon 1869 Opera House in Poughkeepsie.

One of the highlights of Cinderella was, predictably, the appearance of Sir Derek Jacobi, a brilliant star of the British stage, in a very small role: the dying king who is anxious to see his heir appropriately wed. Branagh, co-directing Romeo and Juliet with Rob Ashford, decided to give Jacobi more room to stretch his formidable thespian skills. Casting the 77-year-old Jacobi as Mercutio, who’s more typically portrayed as a wild youth only a few years Romeo’s senior, seems highly counterintuitive – until one thinks about how Mercutio is by far the most interesting character in Shakespeare’s

romantic tragedy, and gets nearly all the good lines. Why couldn’t Mercutio be interpreted as the headstrong, lovestruck teenager’s streetwise mentor, and not just his waggish sidekick in Verona gang rumbles?

If seeing how/if this unorthodox casting works isn’t stimulus enough to sit through Romeo and Juliet one more time, there are other plausible incentives. Lily James and Richard Madden, who demonstrated good romantic chemistry as Ella and the Prince in Cinderella, are cast here as the star-crossed lovers. Maybe you’re a Game of Thrones fan who still hasn’t gotten over the trauma of Robb Stark’s grisly demise at the Red Wedding and need to see Madden intact in medieval garb once more. Or maybe you’re in deep mourning over Downton Abbey coming to a close, and dearly miss James’s long-running character Lady Rose MacClare. The cast also includes Marisa Berenson as Lady Capulet, Jack Colgrave Hirst as Benvolio, Ansu Kabia as Tybalt, Chris Porter as Lord Montague, Zoë Rainey as Lady Montague, Michael Rouse as Lord Capulet, Meera Syal as Juliet’s Nurse and Sam Valentine as Friar Laurence.

The Bardavon screens the Kenneth Branagh Theatre Company’s production of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet this Saturday, October 1 at 1 p.m. Tickets cost $20 (all seats reserved) and may be purchased at the Bardavon box office at 35 Market Street in Poughkeepsie, (845)

Fright night in a not-sosleepy hollow The scary season gets underway at Ulster Park's Headless Horseman, the top-rated haunted attraction in America

WILL DENDIS | ALMANAC WEEKLY

E

very weekend night from now through the beginning of November, thousands of people will be flocking to the Headless Horseman Hayrides & Haunted Houses in Ulster Park to get the pants scared off them. Rated as the Number One best haunted hayride in the US by USA Today, MTV, the New York Daily News and other national media – for many years, it has consistently been in the Top Ten in all ratings for scariest hayride and haunted houses – Headless Horseman gets so many people that a special red light is erected on Route 9W in Ulster Park to direct the traffic turning into its parking lot during those 18 nights. On Saturday nights, reservations for its three-hour tour (which is not recommended for children under age 12) is essential, though you may still have to wait an hour before you climb onto the

Michael Jubie (shown above) and his wife, Nancy Jubie, own Headless Horseman Hayrides & Haunted Houses in Ulster Park. The Jubies, who both grew up in Kingston, were Halloween enthusiasts, seriously into their costumes every October 31. But it was Michael’s actual disguises, required for his job as a detective on the Kingston Police Force, that helped spark Headless Horseman.

haywagon.

Located on 65 sylvan acres of woods, fields and orchards – a setting that preserves the sense of the rural past and, as a place apart, adds to the spookiness factor, making the attraction unique among haunted destinations – Headless Horseman has 11 haystack wagons, each holding 30 people. They leave every few minutes, winding through pitch-black woods past the off-kilter, Western-style storefronts of Crow Hollow, a coffin factory, fishermen’s conclave (misting machines submerge the boats and shore in fog, as if you were on the coast of Maine), hunting lodge, distillery, cemetery, mine, giant pumpkin patch, slaughterhouse and schoolhouse. Ghoulish bodies rise

Now Through October 2

mysteriously into the air, appear and disappear or crash down from above; a car and other objects suddenly explode into flame; and other supernatural effects transform the night into a gallery of horrors. The specter of the headless horseman, galloping through the night on a real steed, keeps everyone on edge.

After the mile-long hayride, visitors disembark into a New Orleans-style cemetery, in which the aboveground tombs are eerily lit and unfortunately alive with occupants. They navigate through a corn maze, check in at the 1950s-era Lunar Motel, visit a basement full of occupants belonging to a secret orphanage and explore six haunted houses, which contain live snakes, tarantulas and a room full of caged monkeys and apes, desperately shaking their cages (they aren’t real).

There’s a magic show, presented on a stage set up in a garden full of various oddities, including a giant shoe.

The evening ends calmly, with servings

of local apple cider and homemade donuts, fried dough, popcorn and desserts – that is, if you make it through the tour. Not everyone does. While there are emergency escapes, the website’s FAQs note that if you use one, do not expect a refund; regarding the presence of chainsaws, strobe lights and clowns, the answer to each one is “Yes.” “I had a woman who jumped off the wagon and dropped her purse, spilling jewelry and medicine onto the ground,” said Michael Jubie, who, with his wife, Nancy Jubie, owns the Headless Horseman. “She just wanted to get into her car and would not come back to get her purse. We had to give it to a family member.” On another occasion, “one of the guys from the Orange County Choppers [a motorcycle lifestyle brand company] had to leave.” Bladder control among some visitors can be a problem, he added.

The entire experience, which Jubie likens to a play consisting of various discrete sets through which the visitor travels, is carefully scripted. Each season introduces a new narrative, which this year is Headless Horseman’s Spawn, about the creepy rider’s two daughters; past themes centered around a hardcore prisoner who was born in prison and taken from his mother while still a child and Butcher Joe, who fell on one of his meat grinders and wore a pillow over his head. (“That story went around the country, and some people thought it actually happened,” said Jubie.) Headless Horsemen hires writers, although Nancy is “very involved with the storyline,” said Michael.

A storyteller accompanies each hayride, interacting with the actors playing the characters or the illusive effects, such as a projection of a ghost, at each stop. “One thing I hate is when you go into a haunted house and the actor groans and says ‘Get out of here,’” said Jubie. “Did you pay to have some person growl at you? We have set lines, and if we can’t scare you, we make you laugh.”

Attention to visual details is also key to creating a total experience. Many of the monsters, ghouls, skeletons and human figures that are variously chained, hung, bloodied or otherwise transformed into scary apparitions are fabricated at Kingston-based American Made Monster Studios. Some, such as the lifesized horse and headless rider near the

France, Germany and Australia; word about the Headless Horsemen has spread as far as China, with a Chinese travel channel filming the attraction a couple of years ago.

“There’s nothing you can’t do in today’s world,” Jubie said in reference to the inspiration that continually feeds the Headless Horseman. “The only limit is your imagination.”

entrance, which tower over a horrifying pile of skeletons and include a life-sized head dangling from the rider’s arm, were specially designed for the attraction.

The special lighting effects contribute mightily to the illusion and drama of each scene, as do the elaborate sound effects.

Headless Horseman has a staff of nearly 375 people, including actors, carpenters, two Headless Horseman riders (both of whom are women), the illusionist Ryan Dutcher, salespeople stationed at the four gift stores and wranglers to care for the six horses.

“When you’re hired, you’re immediately given a handbook and a script at our orientation meeting,” said Jubie. “Then the new hires get with their managers and teams, are sent down to their space and I’ll do a walk-through.” He noted that “some people are great, some need help, some lines need to be changed, then we’ll do dress rehearsals.” Seventy-five percent of employees return the following year: a number that would probably be higher if everyone was asked back, he said.

The Jubies, who both grew up in Kingston, were Halloween enthusiasts, seriously into their costumes every October 31. But it was Michael’s actual disguises, required for his job as a detective on the Kingston Police Force, that helped spark Headless Horseman.

From 1971 until he went off the force in 1994, “I needed good-quality mustaches, beards and wigs,” so he added those disguises, along with a line of Halloween masks, to his tee-shirt business, Sunshine Tees and Embroidery, based in Kingston.

Jubie and his wife also each grew up with horses, and Michael started the mounted patrol for the Kingston Police, serving as unit commander; he also operated a horse-and-carriage business, renting out the gigs for funerals, weddings and other events.

A conversation between himself and Nancy and another couple while they were out to dinner one evening led to the purchase of the 65-acre farm, which had been owned by an elderly couple and included apple and pear orchards. The property also had a 275-year-old stone farmhouse, which he and his wife have restored, and in the 18th and early 19th centuries was once used as a tavern for travelers needing to rest or swap their horses on the journey between Manhattan and Albany. The original red-painted barns have been incorporated into the complex, whose numerous storage warehouses, concessions, two-story Charleston-style haunted house (complete with life-sized butlers on the second-floor outdoor balcony), stage, sheds, gardens, directional signs, photo-op areas and other facilities exude the odd blend of utility and surrealism that you’d find on a Hollywood back lot.

Headless Horsemen opened in 1992 with a crew of 35; the first ride occurred just a month after the Jubies had closed

on the farm. As a sideline, Michael has rented out his horses as a security detail; gigs include the Bonnaroo Music Festival in Tennessee and traveling with the rock band Phish for five years.

Headless Horseman is also expanding its attractions. For two Saturdays in October, it hosts the Tiny Taste of Terror, a daytime show for kids in which “all the monsters are friendly” and face-painting, country games and other activities, along with bouncy huts, are scheduled. Jubie also rents out props and costumes, as well as occasionally leases out the site for movies, weddings and other events.

Last year, Headless Horsemen introduced a new attraction, the Great Room Escape, in which up to 12 people are locked into a room and given an hour to figure out how to get out. “It’s a team-building effort, in which people solve riddles and find clues,” said Jubie.

“A gamemaster watches everything you do from behind the walls, and after 30 minutes will give you three clues” – although, he added, groups “aren’t always successful at getting out.” The set of themed rooms includes Houdini’s Workshop and a room that is designed as a former animal research facility. “They’re very well-detailed, and each has ‘startles,’” such as the release of fog or a ringing bell when a panel is removed. The Great Room Escape, which was tested on friends by the Jubies for several weeks before opening (“It’s important it isn’t too easy nor too hard,” Jubie said), has been visited by the Dutchess Chamber of Commerce, school groups and companies both small and large, coming from as far away as Buffalo, Saratoga and Long Island.

Once the last hayride has finished late on the evening of November 5, staff scramble to put away the scary props and transform the property into a winter wonderland, for what’s called Frosty Fest, starting on Black Friday and running through the holiday season. The familyfriendly attraction features light displays measuring up to 30 feet high and a host of costumed characters, including Mr. and Mrs. Frosty, the Gingerbread Man, Santa Claus (shown at home, at the North Pole) and a talking Christmas tree. Visitors can choose to take the tour in the comfort of their cars, though Jubie said most opt for the hayride. There’s a magician’s show and decorated house.

“My set designers and carpenters are diehard Halloween people, and it was a hard sell to have them turn the attraction into Christmas; plus, the time frame is short,” said Jubie. “I asked them, ‘Did you ever watch the Super Bowl? We can transform this from scary into not-scary.’”

He doesn’t worry too much about competition. “To do this correctly, you’d need $2 million,” he said, noting that he has visited similar attractions as far west as Colorado. Although Jubie would not divulge his profits nor the number of visitors, he noted that “we consistently

draw from across the country and around the world,” with visitors arriving from

Several pieces still need to fall into place before the Stockade Works project can be greenlit, including grant funding and legislative action, Masterson says. Further developments are promised soon.

Meanwhile, Storyhorse has been a crucible of creativity for Masterson, Davidson and the rest of their troupe.

We do all-live performances that are completely based on transcribed interviews that we conduct locally,” Masterson explains. “We like to incorporate oral histories – personal perspectives to be experienced by the community that it was taken out of.” The theater piece to be performed at Bard, titled Good Dirt, had its premiere at the Brooklyn Academy of Music back in April.

“The first half is the play, whose characters are based on real people. The second half is a conversation between the audience and specialists in the field, plus some of the farmers themselves.”

The dramatizations of the six farm families in the play itself will be enacted by an ensemble of actors, some of whom are quite well-known to current TVwatchers. They include Jeffrey Demunn (The Walking Dead), Margaret Colin (Madam Secretary), Lolita Foster (Orange Is the New Black), John Procaccino (A Most Violent Year), James Lecesne (The Best Man), Kohl Sudduth (Grosse Pointe), Jacqueline Knapp (You Don’t Know Jack), Andres Munar (Che: Part One), Mick Lynch (The Eclipse), Gary Swanson, David Tass Rodriguez, Rose Stoller, Pauline Chalamet and Tanya Selvaratnam.

The Hudson Valley agriculturalists whose stories are shared in Good Dirt are “a very diverse group,” according to Masterson. A couple of them may already be familiar to Almanac Weekly readers. One is Green Goats, Ann and Larry Cihanek’s herd of invasive-specieschomping ruminants who got wiped out by a catastrophic fire a year and a half ago; the weed-control enterprise has since been rebuilding its herd with donated goats. The Hudson Valley Seed Exchange’s founder, Ken Greene, used to write a monthly column in these pages.

Michael Pope’s Synematika: The 3D Script at Kingston’s Shirt Factory

A

ward-winning filmmaker Michael Pope is best-known in some circles for his deceptively disturbing youthculture spoof videos for Amanda Palmer and in others for his wild “living film event” Neovoxer, a dialogue-free experimental multimedia work performed multiple times in several cities with live music and sound effects. Pope unveils the first phase of his latest project, Synematika: The 3D Script, at the Shirt Factory on Cornell Street in Kingston on Saturday, October 1 from 6 to 8 p.m.

This immersive site-specific installation will encompass a 2,400-square-foot industrial space, all of which will be open for public exploration. Pope’s design is to use this Phase One installation as a script – or, in his own words, a Bible – for a future full-length film and a graphic novel.

The nature of the narrative is not made clear, but the seductively withholding teaser text may provide some clues: “What if we can shape human destiny, unveil our true superselves and rewrite the story of our time? We Are Making the Movie of Our Lives.” If more incentive were required, music for Synematika: The 3D Script is provided by Pope’s longtime collaborator, The Dresden Dolls’ drummer Brian Viglione.

Michael Pope, the Synematika website reveals, has recently completed “a 30-day lockdown: an intensive monthlong orgy of focused nonstop creation in the space. Throughout September he remains living in the space full-time to complete the installation.” On October 1, Pope will let us into his world.

“There’s a lot that threatens farming life,” Masterson notes: “the weather, debt, pestilence, taxes.…” Although the theater piece addresses some of the economic and political issues that affect a farmer’s ability to carve a living out of the land, she says that it’s not polemical.

“It’s not activist theater per se. We’re more starting a conversation than we are drawing conclusions.” Leading the discussion segment will be Lindsey Lusher Shute of the National Young Farmers’ Coalition (NYFC), based in Hudson, who is an alumna of the Bard Center for Environmental Policy (CEP). NYFC, CEP and Live Arts Bard are co-sponsoring Good Dirt.

Written by Davidson and directed by Masterson, the play will be presented in the Sosnoff Theater at 3 p.m. this Sunday, October 2.

Having a life-threatening disease is plain awful. But what’s worse is having a potentially fatal ailment or genetic disorder that is so rare that nobody, besides the patients and their families, is motivated to pay for the research needed to find a cure. Much of such R & D funding comes from Big Pharma, which isn’t going to invest much money in developing and testing drugs that very few patients will end up buying. In such cases, either the federal government steps in with some tax dollars for research, or people just go on dying.

When rare disorders are genetic in origin, recent strides in gene therapy hold out some hope for effective treatment. Familial dilated cardiomyopathy is one such – a heart condition so uncommon that it doesn’t even have its own Wikipedia entry.

Patients experience stretching and thinning of the cardiac muscle, which tends to begin in one of the heart’s four chambers and then spread to the other three as the heart’s pumping mechanism becomes progressively less efficient, eventually leading to heart failure. The typical age of onset is mid-adulthood, and according to the National Institutes of Health’s US National Library of Medicine, “In some cases, the first sign of the disorder is sudden cardiac death.”

Local filmmaker Dana Weidman was born into a family who carry the gene for familial dilated cardiomyopathy. After learning that she had this mutation, Weidman traveled to Colorado to interview the doctor who identified the missing base pairs in her chromosome.

In her new documentary film, Nobody’s Perfect, she explains how her family participated in research for 20 years and presents their experiences with genetic counseling. Although the precise genetic disease is extremely rare, the implications of this discovery could lead to a gene therapy that could prevent heart failure and heart transplantation.

This Sunday, October 2 at 1:30 p.m., Upstate Films Rhinebeck will host a free screening of Nobody’s Perfect, with director Dana Weidman on hand for a live question-and-answer session following the film. Upstate Films is located at 6415 Montgomery Street in Rhinebeck.

or a long time, the art of the humorous semi-autobiographical monologue was dominated by the magnificent, one-of-a-kind Spalding Gray; but paradoxically, his 2004 suicide, which might have been seen as its death-knell, opened up the field to a much broader population of monologists. Some of today’s best practitioners had their baptism of fire in the world of stand-up comedy; others came up through the ranks of broadcast journalists who were experimenting with the new possibilities offered by the internet, such as audio blogs and podcasts.

Pu b l i c r a d i o’s o p e n n e s s t o experimentation with programming that follows no proven commercial formula played a major role in this happy trend.

The Moth Radio Hour, which spotlights non-celebrities recounting personal anecdotes sans notes, has become a huge hit; but it couldn’t have existed if This American Life hadn’t been there first.

It’s a bit flabbergasting to realize that Ira Glass’s extraordinary show, originating on WBEZ but now heard everywhere via the Public Radio Exchange, has been around for 21 years already. This American Life has garnered practically every journalism honor out there – including no fewer than five Peabody Awards so far – with its oddball recipe of themed magazine-

format programs blurring the boundaries among factual reporting, personal memoir, spoken-word performance, editorial analysis and humor.

Of all the careers launched via regular appearances on This American Life, none has captured the limelight quite so winningly as the quirky commentator David Sedaris. His classic, onlyslightly-exaggerated account of the travails of a Macy’s Christmas elf, The Santaland Diaries, was quickly picked up for rebroadcast on NPR’s All Things Considered and made Sedaris an instant star. Since those days he has become a

best-selling author, his printed works including Barrel Fever, Holidays on Ice, Naked, Me Talk Pretty One Day, Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim, When You Are Engulfed in Flames, Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk: A Modest Bestiary and Let’s Explore Diabetes with Owls.

Sedaris is a very funny satirical writer, but one of his greatest gifts is his speaking voice, his tone and delivery at once dry, understated, gently caustic and bemused by the world’s absurdities. If you want to experience his observations full-force, you need to hear him – or better yet, see him live. Fortunately, Sedaris does a lot of touring, and has a reputation for sticking around after all his shows for as long as the venue will let him sign books and schmooze with his fans. His visits to the Bardavon have become a regular treat for mid-Hudsonites, and on October 7 he’ll be making his debut appearance on the stage of the Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts’ Sosnoff Theater at Bard College.

David Sedaris’ performance at Bard begins at 8 p.m. on Friday, October 7.

Ticket prices range from $45 to $70. To order, or for more information, call the Fisher Center box office at (845) 758-7900 or visit http://fishercenter.bard.edu.

assar College is now in the third year of a four-year program funded by an Andrew W. Mellon Foundation grant, called Creative Arts Across Disciplines (CAAD). Not only does it integrate the activities of the school’s arts programs with the curricula of other departments, but it also makes this a priority when arranging for visiting artists to do residencies and master classes with students. Right now, a German theater company called Costa Compagnie is wrapping up a monthlong campus visit with a theatrical event that involves students not only from the Dance Department, but also from the History Department and Vassar’s Posse Veterans’ Program. “Student performers will be part of this presentation that mixes documentary-style footage with stagework that incorporates dance, sound and voice,” according to CAAD coordinator Tom Pacio.

Shortly before the International Security Assistance Force ended its mission in Afghanistan in late 2014, members of Costa Compagnie traveled to the Hindu Kush to speak to people on-site about the drawdown of international forces.

They collected conversations, sounds and images and asked Afghans as well as German and American soldiers about their views and feelings about the complex situation. Conversion/After Afghanistan, a multimedia theatrical piece based on their original interviews in Kabul and Mazare-Sharif, will be presented at 7 p.m. this Friday and Saturday, September 30 and October 1 in the Frances Daly Fergusson Dance Theater in Kenyon Hall on the Vassar campus.

Ticke ts for Conversion/After Afghanistan are free, but reservations are recommended. To reserve, e-mail dancetix@vassar.edu or call (845) 4375541. Vassar College is located at 124 Raymond Avenue in Poughkeepsie. For more info, visit www.vassar.edu.

ALMANAC WEEKLY

September 29, 2016 for her groundbreaking, gender-bending feminist satires Cloud Nine and Top Girls. After that her fame in the US waned somewhat, but every few years a new Churchill play comes out – sometimes in clusters of frenzied productivity. She released Here We Go in 2015, and two plays already this year: Escaped Alone and Pigs and Dogs.

The playwright is known for stageworks that are Postmodern, sometimes Absurdist or Surrealist in style and very often political in content. One clear example is her 1990 work Mad Forest: A Play from Romania, which is being revived by the Department of Theatre Arts at SUNY-New Paltz beginning on Thursday evening, September 29. It runs through this weekend, skips Columbus Day weekend when the college is on break and returns the following weekend, running through Sunday, October 16.

“Mad Forest” is the English translation of Teleorman, the name of a river and a county near Bucharest. The play deals with the Romanian Revolution of 1989, which led to the overthrow of the dictator Nicolae Ceau escu and the eventual dismantling of the much-feared secret police, the Securitate. The first act takes place at a wedding prior to the Revolution and the third in a hospital not long afterwards; both are fictional.

The middle act recounts the tense five days of the coup d’état itself and is based on oral histories collected from Romanian families by Churchill, ten of her drama students and the play’s director, Mark Wing-Davey. Best-known to American audiences as the actor who gave voice to the character of Zaphod Beeblebrox in the original BBC radio version of Douglas Adams’ The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Wing-Davey went on to win a Best Director Obie for the Off-Broadway New York run of Mad Forest.

Catherine Doherty directs the

Department of Theatre Arts’ production of Mad Forest, which will be staged at the Parker Theatre on the SUNY campus.

Shows beginning at 8 p.m. on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, September 29 and 30, October 1, 13 and 14, and at 2 p.m. on Sundays, October 2 and 16. Tickets cost $18 general admission; $16 for seniors (62+), SUNY-New Paltz faculty and staff and non-SUNY New Paltz students; and $10 for SUNY-New Paltz students. For more information and to purchase tickets, call (845) 257-3880 or e-mail boxoffice@ newpaltz.edu.

Brass & brains Born Yesterday at Center for Performing Arts at Rhinebeck The comic actor, director, playwright and screenwriter Garson Kanin was responsible – often in collaboration with his first wife, Ruth Gordon – for some of the funniest dialogue heard onscreen during Hollywood’s Golden Age, including several of Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn’s most memorable pairings.

But of all Kanin’s screwball romantic comedies, the widely acknowledged pinnacle is Born Yesterday: the story of a crooked businessman who comes to Washington, DC to buy some politicians and his apparently ditzy girlfriend who gets a Pygmalion-style educational makeover and eventually proves the thuggish tycoon’s undoing.

The 1946 Broadway production of Born Yesterday made a star of Judy Holliday, who then went on to snatch the Best Actress Oscar out of the hands of the likes of Bette Davis in All About Eve and Gloria Swanson in Sunset Boulevard when the stage comedy was made into

a movie in 1950. Holliday’s role, Billie Dawn, became iconic: the brassy, uncouth “dumb blonde” showgirl with the screechy Lower East Side accent who turns out to be a lot smarter than the powerful men who patronize her. The character was perfect for Holliday, who is said to have had an IQ of 172, but managed to dodge the McCarthy-era Hollywood blacklist by playing ignorant when grilled by the FBI about rumors of past Communist associations. One cannot help but wonder what comedic treasures audiences have missed due to the gifted actress’ untimely death from cancer at the age of 43.

Born Yesterday had a forgettable “modernized” movie remake in 1993 and occasionally gets revived onstage – but not nearly often enough, considering the strength and perennial relevance of the material. A presidential election year when

the word “corrupt” is getting bandied about even more than usual, and when the role of women in the political realm is undergoing close scrutiny, seems like perfect timing for a local stage company to rev this play back up, and the Dutchess County-based Up in One Productions has taken up the challenge. Born Yesterday opens this Friday, September 30 at the Center for Performing Arts at Rhinebeck and runs through October 9.

Performances begin at 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and at 3 p.m. on Sundays.

All tickets cost $22, and can be reserved by calling (845) 876 3080 or visiting www. centerforperformingarts.org. The Center for Performing Arts is located at 661 Route 308, 3.5 miles east of downtown Rhinebeck.

Ben Neill returns to Manitoga to play Manitoga

B

en Neill’s revelatory environmental composition Manitoga somehow manages to transport you to the place where you already are. It is named for the location at which the work is intended to be performed, exclusively: Manitoga, the idyllic-but-subtly-surreal Russell Wright Design Center in Garrison. On this secluded and picturesque site, where an unconventional and ideologically intentional home overlooks tiered woodlands and cliffs and a deep, purling quarry pool, the significant 20th-century functional art designer Wright crafted his own stunning vision of the integration of nature and the technologies of living.

Manitoga has since become a hopping gallery, museum and venue, but – while excellent exhibits and performances come and go – the work on display here is always principally the place itself.

The internationally decorated avantgarde (and club-scene) composer/ trumpeter/technologist Neill defers to the place on several levels in Manitoga. This piece for brass quintet augmented with electronics decentralizes the ensemble.

The players are scattered in thoughtful ways throughout the immediate grounds at Manitoga and in motion (a novel approach to mixing, or perhaps the original approach). They begin invisible to the audience (itself scattered throughout Manitoga’s many different alcoves, natural terraces and vantagepoints) and gradually converge upon a centralized performance space. Neil thus plays the environment at Manitoga – its acoustic and resonant properties and its multiple sonic and visual perspectives – as an instrument itself.

While Neill plays his famous homebuilt mutantrumpet – an acoustic/

digital hybrid horn and controller that does many mysterious things –the other ensemble members play horns tailored for this and only this piece and venue: alternate-universe brass instruments called phonemophones fashioned in the shape of the letters required to spell “Manitoga” by sculptor Carol Szymanski.

But the area-resident Neill speaks to the immediate environment in musical as well as typographical ways. The patternoriented, Minimalist composition imitates the colloquy of birds and insects that he hears on the river in the evening, even echoing the martial brass sounds wafting over the river from West Point and sending them back, demilitarized and integrated into the sonic ephemera of the environment.

If this kind of composition sounds more like philosophy than music to you – a charge (or compliment) often leveled at Neill’s mentors and collaborators John Cage and LaMonte Young – it will only take a few moments of listening

to realize that, no, this is beautiful and intelligent music in the hybrid electro, Postminimalist mode, composed by a recognized master thereof. It is also deeply personal, subjective music that explores the physical and metaphysical shared space between the performers and the audience.

For the second time, Neill leads a performance of Manitoga at Manitoga on Saturday, October 1 at 4 p.m. This performance is the yearly Manitoga benefit event. Admission costs $45 general admission, $35 for Manitoga members and $20 for children age 18 and under – and, if I might uncharacteristically say so, worth every penny for this kind of heightened experience. A $125 Benefit Ticket includes admission to a private reception with Ben Neill. A $500 Benefit Performance Committee donation wins you two benefit tickets, plus listing as member of the Committee. For tickets and more information, visit www. visitmanitoga.org. Manitoga is located at 584 Route 9D in Garrison.

Graham Nash plays Bearsville

O

wner of perhaps the most recognizable and extruded vocal timbre in the CSNY and CSN and CN blend, Graham Nash also wrote some the group’s most irregular material. While it might be said that Nash contributed a disproportionate share of the group’s cutesiest songs (“Our House,” “Teach Your Children” and “Marrakesh Express,” for example), those songs were a highly functional component in the group’s perforce-diversified repertoire, serving quite specifically as an accessible counterweight to David Crosby’s amorphous and meandering art songs.

Like all of his mates in that supergroup, Graham Nash’s rockstar authentication was issued well before CS&N’s debut performance at Woodstock. The Englishman was a core writing and performing member of prolific ‘60s hitmakers the Hollies: yet another band that charted the UK rock group’s traditional transformation from R & B interpreters to purveyors of original psychedelic pop (and some damn cool psychedelic pop at that – the 1967 album Evolution is a highlight of imaginative and cheeky treacle-pop).

Bright, vital, engaging, eminently likable, Graham Nash gives you the impression that every kind word that you’ve heard about him is accurate. (The same cannot always be said of his Californian and Canadian pals, to be honest.) Nash has been making the rounds with renewed vigor since the 2013 publication of his memoir Wild Tales: A Rock & Roll Life. While that book and the ensuing acrimony with Crosby have made headlines, Nash also managed to squeeze out an ambitious, unusually dark set of new songs in 2016, This Path Tonight.

Multiple Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Graham Nash performs in the intimate confines of the Bearsville Theater on Tuesday, October 4 at 8 p.m.; the doors open at 7. Gold Circle seats cost $89; reserved seating costs $79; general admission costs $69. For this special performance, a variety of VIP packages are available.

collaborators and enthusiastic endorsers.

For example, one of Hammond’s best and most ragged records is the 2007 electric powerhouse Push Comes to Shove, produced by G. Love. No one has ever had much luck trying to slick this guy up.

Hammond’s biographical narrative – the prep-schooled son of a New York City music mogul who dropped out of that life to play the blues from the early ‘60s into the present – places him, for better or for worse, right at the crossroads of the great American musical paradox of black and white. In this age of heightened sensitivity to the dynamics of appropriation of cultural property, his identity may be built on complex if not shaky ground; but the second he opens his mouth and hits his guitar, any doubts about his intentions vanish. If a white man can play the blues – and I don’t have that answer – this would be the one.

The rock stars and fellow blues travelers have lined up and taken a number to play with him or produce him (which I imagine is much like pointing a mic at Andres Segovia; you just hit “Record”): the Band, Duane Allman, J. J. Cale, Dr. John, Bill Wyman, Los Lobos’ David Hidalgo. One great thing about the blues, almost alone amongst the genres, is that the older you are, the better you are assumed to be.

Regarding life’s travails and suffering, we all get more credentialed as we go.

this is a major score. The great John Hammond performs at the Falcon on Saturday, October 8 at 7 p.m. Even when it is John Hammond, the Falcon does not charge a cover, but generous donation is eloquently encouraged. The Falcon is located at 1348 Route 9W in Marlboro.

n search of a title for his 1980 culinary documentary, filmmaker Les Blank chose the proverb, “Garlic is as good as ten mothers.”

While the saying may have more to do with the inevitable effect of the “stinking rose” on one’s breath (useful in staving off unwanted suitors), it also calls to mind the aromatic vegetable’s worldwide reputation as a cure-all, or at least a formidable preventative. Garlic’s welldocumented health benefits include being anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antiviral, not to mention helping stave off cancer and cardiovascular disease.

But that’s not why most of us consume garlic, is it? It’s how it tastes, of course.

Properly prepared, that powerful smell translates into delectable flavor.

Even if garlic is one of your regular go-to ingredients, though, you don’t get much variety at most supermarkets and greengrocers, or even farmers’ markets: maybe a choice between a single loose bulb or a stack of them in a plastic mesh

Tia Keenan’s declaration that “Life is too short to eat mediocre cheese” in her new book is followed by such an artful array of choices and serving suggestions that readers will wish for longevity, if only to work their way through the book. With each page photographed exquisitely by Noah Fecks, The Art of the Cheese Plate is practically edible itself.

If you aspire to culinary mastery of anything, cheese – the making of it, the tracking down of unique regions and methods and ingredients, the presentations with drinks and delectables – provides an almost-endless fascination.

The author lists cheeses according to attributes, from the perishable fresh, rindless sorts to the semi-firm and hard ones, explaining all the ways and means of the foundational flavors: tangy, milky, earthy, toasty. Is it crumbly or smooth?

Is it shot through with blue veins of live mold? Is it locally produced or imported?

In The Art of the Cheese Plate, Keenan instructs at the most practical level. So, if you’ve ever unwrapped a wedge of St. Andre and plunked it on a platter with a knife and crackers, you will now learn how to cut the wedge equitably into single bites, saving your guests the aggravation of smearing a knife-full on a tenuous cracker.

beverage ideas. It is an education in the world of cheeses.

Keenan coaxes readers to get to know their cheesemonger for inside information.

She extols the benefits, for both host and guest, of a single-serving plate, conscientiously arranged for maximum effect. With compositions meant to reinforce flavors and textures, each little morsel is described in mouthwatering detail. The variety is almost endless, and this how-to book does not put down the occasional resort to the lowly chip-in-acan when you don’t have time to whip out homemade lotus root crunchies. Recipes for accompanying pestos and butters and chopped fruits and pickled tidbits and dried meats are simple but devastating.

Keenan, a one-time resident of the Hudson Valley, is a New York-based chef/fromager and writer. She created the cheese program for Danny Meyer’s the Modern and pairings for Murray’s Cheese. Her work has been featured in Food & Wine, The New Yorker and on the Food Network. She will be at bluecashew Kitchen Pharmacy on October 1 to talk about all things cheese and sign copies of The Art of the Cheese Plate. During the author event, local award-winning cheesemakers – Coach Farm, Meadow Farm and Hawthorne Valley – will be featuring tastes of their superb products. – Ann Hutton

That venerable periodical was America’s first literary magazine, founded in 1815

by Boston patriot Nathan Hale, among others. It ceased publication in 1940 following the revelation that it had been purchased for propaganda purposes by a Japanese spy, Joseph Hilton Smyth, two years earlier; but the North American Review was revived in 1964 and continues to operate today, printing works by some of America’s most prestigious contemporary authors. This month, the North American Review Press is reissuing Burroughs’ 19 essays as a standalone publication, with new prefaces to each essay written by Jeremy Schraffenberger, an editor at the magazine.

To celebrate the publication of Manifold Nature: John Burroughs and the North American Review, the Vassar College Libraries will be hosting a panel discussion on Thursday, September 29 titled “John Burroughs Today: The Legacy of an American Naturalist, Critic and Philosopher.� Organized by the John Burroughs Association, the panel will include local academics Steve Mercier of Marist College, Dan Payne of SUNYOneonta, Dan Peck of Vassar, Susan Fox Rogers of Bard College and Harry Stoneback of SUNY-New Paltz.

Creativity corridor Art Walk Kingston this weekend features open studios, performances & Lace Mill’s first-ever public group exhibition

I

f your city has a neighborhood that suffers from urban blight – high rates of poverty, crime and substance abuse, abandoned storefronts and deteriorated housing stock, fires and vandalism – the quickest and cheapest way to turn it around is to leverage the natural tendency of working artists to seek out affordable spaces to renovate. Tax incentives and sweat equity mix beautifully to transform rundown industrial lofts into attractive living spaces and studios. Galleries, restaurants, service businesses and enhanced tourism inevitably follow in the artists’ wake, and before long, urban planners’ biggest remaining headache is making sure that local residents don’t get priced out by gentrification.

The City of Kingston has been watching that process burbling away in its Midtown neighborhood. It started out as a haphazard, unorganized thing, with a few artsy pioneers like R & F Handmade Paints, the Shirt Factory and Cornell Street Studios establishing artistic footholds. But momentum has built, and community coalitions have sprung up with the intent and the expertise needed to guide Midtown toward a brighter future for all. A recent milestone was the opening in July 2015 of the Lace Mill at 165 Cornell Street, an apartment, workspace and gallery complex renovated by RUPCO and offering subsidized, below-market rents

for artists.

Now that its residents have had a year to settle in, it makes sense that the Lace Mill should be one of the showcase destinations for this weekend’s free citywide event known as Art Walk Kingston. Launching Art Walk Kingston was a community grassroots effort led by local resident Joe Gonzalez and Linda Marston-Reid, executive director at Arts Mid-Hudson, who saw a need and began talking about the idea to other residents and business-owners. The Art Walk has been planned during a series of monthly meetings that became networking events bringing together Kingston residents interested in civic improvement.

On Saturday and Sunday afternoons, October 1 and 2, more than 70 artists and performers will be participating throughout three distinct areas of the City of Kingston, and members of the public are invited to immerse themselves in a range of art and events. Paintings, photographs, drawings and sculptures are just some of the media that will be on display at home studios and galleries

all across town. The ARTBAR Gallery, Arts Society of Kingston, Broadway Arts Gallery, Cornell Street Studios, O+ Gallery, R & F Handmade Paints and Uncanny Gallery will all throw their doors open wide to the art-curious public.

Participatory activities will include a chance to make your own tile at Bailey Pottery & Equipment, a wine-tasting at the Kingston Wine Co. and a live dance and drumming performance at the Center for Creative Education.

At the Lace Mill, two featured resident

artists are showing work in their own living and workspaces. Charlotte Tusch Scherer is an abstract painter highly influenced by such Color Field artists as Rothko, Kelly, Lewis and Jenkins. “My work is atmospheric and mysterious in nature,” she says. “The paintings are sensual and have a slow, soft sense of movement. I enjoy watching the paints interact with the canvas and challenge me to move forward or to stop.” Tusch calls Art Walk “a perfect way to showcase my work and studio space and allow others

Sarrantonio/ Naccarato exhibition at Unison

DION OGUST | ALMANAC WEEKLY

The Lace Mill, at 165 Cornell Street in Kingston, is an apartment, workspace and gallery complex renovated by RUPCO and offering subsidized, below-market rents for artists.

Two artists with a shared history as well as a shared interest in Impressionistic depictions of nature will have their recent works on view this coming month in the gallery at the Unison Arts & Learning Center in New Paltz.

Now based in the Rockaways, Diane Naccarato was formerly one of Tom Sarrantonio’s art students at SUNYNew Paltz. Opening on October 1 and running through October 30, the new Unison show will kick off with a reception from 4 to 6 p.m. this Sunday, October 2.

Naccarato is exhibiting works on paper from 2014-2016 created at the Gowanus Studio Space in Brooklyn and at her home. In these works, the artist seeks to understand notions of emergence, growth and becoming, with subtle references to plant life and the movement found in natural forms or forces.

Sarrantonio will be showing works created in the foothills of the Shawangunks area near the Old Gatehouse Road in New Paltz, close to Unison Arts Center.

The fields here were recently acquired by the Mohonk Preserve and, by special arrangement, the artist will donate a percentage of sales to the Preserve to be used for education programs and to increase access to Preserve lands. Many of these recent works are small-scale oil-onwood paintings of the sorts of wildflowers currently at their peak of bloom in these roadside meadows: windswept swaths of chicory, vetch, purple loosestrife, goldenrod and Queen Anne’s lace.

Admission to the Opening Reception with the artists this Sunday afternoon is free. The Unison Arts Center is a located at 68 Mountain Rest Road, west of the Wallkill. For more information, call (845) 255-1559 or visit www.unisonarts.org or www.facebook.com/unisonarts.

Also opening her workspace, which she calls an “ever-evolving secret sanctuary,” is Judith Z. Miller, who sculpts, writes, photographs, performs, plays percussion and dances under the name Zelda. She draws and creates primal sculpture and wearable art from trees, stones and found objects, which she fashions into ritual staffs and wearable amulets and employs in healing rituals. “I’ve lovingly transformed my apartment into a shamanic healing space with hand-carved trees and plants literally flying in mid-air from the vaulted ceilings, surrounded by photographs of nature and spiritual selfportrait collages,” Zelda says.

Outside these two artistic sanctums, in the Lace Mill’s Main Gallery, Art Walk participants can check out the residents’ group show, the first-ever to be open to the general public. Poet Holly Christiana will be hosting two shows each day: “Poetry and Poety Things,” scheduled for 4 p.m. on Saturday and 3 p.m. on Sunday, will feature readings by poets Allan Stevo and Chris Wood, an a cappella singalong by Tobias Anderson and artwork by Joshua Stern. Peter Coates will play koto on Saturday and Amy Westberg performs on Sunday.

It’s like inventing a new paradigm: You get an idea about a collective, cooperative, tangible space where people can dive deep into their imaginations for more ideas as yet unmanifested, and use the facility and their associations with others to bring these ideas forward. You present the concept to like-minded individuals, asking each one of them what their own needs and desires might be. You generate enough committed interest to go real estate shopping, and you’re on your way.

atmosphere for the creation of fine art, functional art and crafts. This includes a range of possible projects, from making single custom items to creating small series manufacturing. With a mission to make crafting a part of life for people of all ages, from the complete beginner to the expert, Hudson-Creative will have inhouse tools for electronics, woodworking, metalworking, welding, sewing, robotics and many forms of design, repair and restoration. Exactly how the physical plant will be set up and equipped depends on who joins the membership and what everyone’s general requirements are. An online survey is being conducted to assess the feasibility of such a creativity space and to determine how many people will participate, what opportunities they are looking for and how often they would use Hudson-Creative.

The brainchild of Chad Weckler, who is himself an artist, photographer and event producer, the startup is being modeled on the concept of the “makerspaces” or “hackerspaces” popping up around the country, wherein communities share resources – manufacturing equipment, for example – for the purposes of enabling members to design, prototype and create works that wouldn’t be possible to create with the resources available to individuals alone. Affordability is one issue. A solitary worker might not be able to purchase a special tool on her own, but can use the equipment available in the makerspace to get her job done. The concept also promotes learning new skills and improving existing ones.

Weckler was joined by Mark Orton, who served as president of the Board of Trustees of the Hudson Area Library.

“Basically, it’s been the two of us building this platform,” says Weckler. “Through the survey, we have 30 people participating in the startup now. Don’t have a penny or a square foot as yet. But we’ve been talking to members of the City and various

“The Hudson Valley is very strong with creative entrepreneurs, and some of the recent surveys coming out of state and county levels show that Columbia County is one of the top three counties in the country, with the highest concentration of artists. There’s Brooklyn and Taos, New Mexico, and there’s Columbia County! When they mention the ‘creative economy,’ it’s everything from interior

designers, landscape designers, graphic artist, woodworkers…it’s a very long list.

Not just artists, but people in the service industry like painters, photographers, sign designers. All are ‘makers.’”

He cites Etsy as an example of a maker-promoting company. “The headquarters are in Brooklyn, but the customer service hub is in Hudson, where they employ over a hundred people. They have a phenomenal number of members just here in the Hudson Valley, and they’re trying to move their makers of single items to doing small manufacturing, which means more jobs and more money in flow. They are actually working with people across the country to develop this ‘small-batch manufacturing’ concept.”

When asked what his personal vision of the organization’s structure might be, Weckler says, “I see it as an open source.

Our website is a bit rough, but we explain what open-sourcing is there. We want everybody to be able to communicate and see what everyone else is doing. Often what happens in makerspaces is that projects get created by people meeting each other and saying, ‘I have this idea, and you’re good at doing that, and that person is good at doing that, and if the three of us get together, we can make this something different.’ If you have a woodshop, for example, ten or 15 people can be there making different things, but they may eventually begin to work together. We’re looking at 50/50 in terms of making things as a hobby or for resale. A lot of people would like to learn woodworking

or how to weld or how to use a sewing machine. There’s the learning aspect and the teaching aspect. A lot of people want to do both. I hope we get every wish answered. I want the whole thing: a commercial kitchen, 3-D printing and s c a n n i n g . I ’d like to work with local schools and businesses being able to use the talent and equipment we have here.”

Basic funding will be needed to get Hudson-Creative off the ground, but Weckler says that sustainability depends on the members. “A lot of people don’t know if they’d use it by the hour, day, week or month. When we start our team-member meetings, I would like to hear what they want to do. It’s an idea that will only be functional if the team members do the conceptualizing and figuring out how it will work. They’ll all put their fingerprints on the idea. We want to be a 501 (c) (3), and you need a board and president and so on. I think that will happen very soon, once we get further along with our business plan and keep the survey open, which we’re opening to Connecticut and Massachusetts, and Ulster and Albany Counties. There are smaller makerspaces in Poughkeepsie and Troy now, but some are more technologyoriented. A lot of people don’t know what a maker- or hackerspace is. It’s a fairly new concept, but they’re all over the world.”

Like co-housing communities and artisan collectives everywhere – Albany Barn is one that Weckler cites – the basic concept is relatively new, but it’s probably also very old. It was perhaps the primary way that things got done before the Industrial Revolution, through guilds and communities like the Shakers. “I’ve always felt that farmers are people who, 100 years ago, had to learn to do everything themselves: build a barn, fix the tractor, get water, feed a family, feed and milk the cows. They were constantly making and sharing things.”

Weckler says that the core team of members will open a public meeting in October and push the survey further south or east to talk more about what HudsonCreative can be. Stay tuned. And check out Hudson-Creative at http://hudsoncreative.org, or visit www.facebook.com/ hudsoncreativene.

MOVIE

ALMANAC WEEKLY

We’re all being spied upon

Snowden picks up where Citizenfour left off

O

liver Stone must be feeling happy – or at least, as happy as the notoriously gruff and confrontational director ever gets.

By a series of what appear to be mere coincidences, his new movie Snowden hit the multiplexes one day after the release of a House Intelligence Committee report vilifying national security whistleblower Edward Snowden as a “serial exaggerator.� A few days prior to that, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and the American Civil Liberties Union had just stepped up their campaigns asking President Obama to grant Snowden amnesty before he leaves office. Timing like that certainly can’t hurt ticket sales.

The irony of that bit of box-office serendipity is that Stone couldn’t find American backers willing to risk investing in a biopic about such a polarizing public figure, so he had to find funding for the project in Europe.

He ended up deciding to shoot most of Snowden in Germany as well.

The first question for movie-review consumers, I suppose, would be: Do I need to see Snowden if I’ve already seen Citizenfour?

Documentary geeks, you’re off the hook here. Laura Poitras’ 2014 filmic record of her secret meetings at a Hong Kong hotel with Snowden himself, in which we witness him – in real time – handing over his amassed data on intrusive US government surveillance of private individuals to two journalists from The Guardian, Glenn Greenwald and Ewan MacAskill, is the unadulterated real deal.

It’s powerful and disturbing, in terms of the facts that it unveils about what our own government agencies have gotten up to in the name of protecting our “security.�

But that film’s power is all in the content, not the package. It’s not slick storytelling in the Hollywood sense; so Stone made it his business to grease the narrative wheels with a dramatic retelling.

On the other hand, Snowden is a great boon for the millions of moviegoers who would never sit through a film as stylistically stark and intellectually demanding as Citizenfour. If you need an injection of spy-thriller tension, humanizing backstory, dystopian sci-fi creepiness or heart-tugging romantic conflict to leaven your political wake-up call, Snowden delivers. It even falls back on that weariest of action-movie suspensebuilding tropes, the high-stakes timer countdown – but with a slightly tonguein-cheek IT-geek twist: In this case, the deadly MacGuffin is not a time-bomb about to explode, but a computer screen covered with files that are downloading maddeningly slowly while a lucky diversion has briefly captured the boss’s attention.

Stone clearly falls on the “Snowden is a

hero/patriot� side of the opinion spectrum regarding the former CIA operative and NSA contractor, who started out as a conservative who wanted to serve his country after 9/11 and ended up so shocked by what he discovered from the inside that he felt that he had no choice but to share much of it with the news media, after his efforts to change the system from within were resolutely stonewalled. Many others, obviously, feel strongly that Edward Snowden risked harming America’s defense capabilities by pulling back the cybercurtain.

I don’t know if it will persuade folks who already consider him a traitor to change their perspective, but Snowden seems likely at least to broaden public discussion of the issue of personal privacy in the digital age. I suspect that even some folks who think that the guy belongs in prison will take the precaution of sticking a piece of electrical tape over their laptop camera lenses after seeing this movie. If unnerving us is Oliver Stone’s goal here, he certainly succeeds.

For this viewer, some of the best scenes in Snowden were the ones that most closely replicated the interview/data handoff scenes in Citizenfour – right down to being shot in the same Hong Kong hotel where it originally happened.

Melissa Leo, Zachary Quinto and Tom Wilkinson are all spot-on as Poitras, Greenwald and MacAskill respectively, nervously negotiating with a selfdeprecating-but-determined Snowden.

If unnerving us is Oliver Stone’s goal here, he certainly succeeds.

INDIGNATION

The latter is stunningly evoked by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who inhabits the role so thoroughly that when actor morphs into his subject onscreen at the very end, the transition is so subtle that it takes several heartbeats before you realize that you are now looking at Snowden himself.

Some of the wraparound dramatization material is a bit less successful. Shailene Woodley struggles gamely with her underwritten part as Snowden’s longsuffering girlfriend Lindsay Mills, but comes across as a bit of a hippie bimbo in spite of all her efforts. It’s the fault of the director – not known for his insight into the female psyche – and his co-screenwriter, Kieran Fitzgerald, not the actress. Rhys Ifans chews scenery gloriously as Snowden’s chilly, unscrupulous CIA mentor, here called Corbin O’Brian; but his talent is often wasted on fraught, stilted speeches about the ends justifying the means when it comes to national security. He gets stuck with the movie’s most excessive Orwellian routines. But the only really terrible casting is, unsurprisingly, Nicolas Cage, simultaneously crazed and wooden (in the way that only Nicolas Cage can be) as a demoted CIA guy who likes to collect

Mostly, Snowden is a good movie – the most persuasive and workmanlike thing that Stone has put out in a long time, though far from his flashiest. Seeing it back-to-back with Citizenfour on Netflix would be an enlightening way to spend some dark, snowed-in (HAH!) winter’s day. Seeing it just for Gordon-Levitt’s sterling performance wouldn’t be a total waste of your time, either. – Frances Marion Platt

Storyhorse performs Good Dirt at Bard Ooh, look! It’s Mary Stuart Masterson again! This time, she’s in Storyhorse, a documentary theater project with her husband, Jeremy Davidson, which draws from stories from within the Hudson Valley. This weekend, Storyhorse performs Good Dirt: sharings from Hudson Valley farmers about the future of our food. I like what Ken Greene of the Hudson Valley Seed Library says: “Every seed has a story.

Cultural stories. Drama. Romance.

Tragedy. History…and every time you plant a seed you’re going to become part of that story...So it’s important to know where our seeds come from.

Who’s growing them. And which stories we’re growing in our own backyards.”

Good Dirt takes place on Sunday, October 2 at 3 p.m. at Bard College’s Fisher Center for the Performing Arts. Tickets cost $15 to $20, and $5 for students with ID. The Fisher Center for is located at 60 Manor Avenue in Annandale-on-Hudson.

F

or 26 years, the Reformed Church of New Paltz has hosted the annual Apple Festival on Huguenot Street. This year, the already popular Apple Festival will re-brand itself as Applestock. The event will be on Saturday, October 1 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Huguenot Street will be closed from Brodhead to in front of the Abraham Hasbrouck house. Admission is free.

New to Applestock is a beer, cider and spirits-tasting tent. For a $5 fee, attendees can enter and sample a number of locally produced craft beverages from Hudson Valley Farmhouse Cider, Bradley Farm and RB Brew, Adirondack Brewery, Chatham Brewery and 1911 Spirits.

A children’s drop-off service will be offered along with a variety of activities for kids. The Bruderhof will supply face painting and kids can paint pumpkins and play games.

Church volunteers will bake apple pies and make apple fritters to sell, with apples donated by Dressel Farms. (In one past Apple Festival on Huguenot Street some 700 pounds of apples made it into pies.)

There will be live music performances all day by Wind and Stone, Mars America, John Steffens, New Paltz Rock, Clubswing, Sherry Kitay, Laila Mach and Euclid.

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

How to prepare to pick a pear Asian varieties ripen on the tree – European varieties don’t

O

f all commonly grown tree fruits, pears are the easiest – mostly because they succumb to fewer pest and weather problems than do other common tree fruits. Of all commonly grown tree fruits, pears are the most difficult to harvest.

Timing is what makes pears so difficult to harvest: a skill that I’m ashamed to admit I have yet to master. You can’t time when to pick by taste, because pears are among the few fruits that will not ripen well on the tree. They start ripening from their innards outward, so by the time the outside of the fruit looks and feels ripe, the innards are brown mush.

No need to refer me to the guidelines of experts: The skin should undergo an almost-imperceptible change in color, lightening or yellowing. The fruit softens ever so slightly, going from the firmness of a basketball to that of a softball. The fruit stalk separates readily from the stem when the fruit is lifted and given a slight twist. And finally – in my opinion the most obtuse indicator – lenticels (small pores on the skin) change from white and raised to brown and shallow. Yadda, yadda, yadda…

I grow about 20 varieties of pear, and each of those very subtle indicators is slightly different from one variety to the next.

Another of my excuses is that most of my varieties are just beginning to bear, so I don’t have a lot of fruits from each tree to play around with. I am adept at harvesting those varieties – Magness, Seckel, Harrow Delight – that have borne the most fruit for the most years.

Asian pears will ripen to perfection on the tree. In fact, for best flavor, they must remain hanging until dead-ripe, at which point they have a “cracking” texture – that is, they are crisp, but explode in your mouth with their sweet, ambrosial juice.

The skin of Chojuro, the earliest of my Asian pears, started changing from brown russet to golden-yellow russet earlier this month. As a further check to ripeness, I picked a fruit and sank my teeth into it. Delicious! They’re ripe and hang in good condition to be plucked from the branches, as needed, for a week or two; or they can be harvested in toto and refrigerated. The varieties Yoinashi and Seuri Li will follow shortly here, with Korean Giant following these two varieties next year, when it comes into bearing.

Asian pears are as easy to grow as – perhaps even easier than – European pears. They bear at a young age and heavily – often too young and too heavily, which is why it’s necessary to grit your teeth and aggressively thin the fruits. Too heavy a crop stunts young trees or spells small, less-flavorful fruits on grown trees.

(I devote a whole chapter to Asian pears in my book Uncommon Fruits for Every Garden.)

Ah, but my horticultural shortcomings don’t extend to all pears. I also grow a few varieties of Asian pears, which differ from the aforementioned and more common European pears in being usually round and of a few different species. Most significantly,

Grapes: They’re easy to harvest ripe – except that most people don’t.

Color is but one indicator that a bunch wants to be harvested and eaten (that is, after all, fruits’ raison d’être). But like some other fruits – blueberries, for example – grapes turn their ripe color before they are dead-ripe.

So I also pull off a berry or two to taste.

The difference in flavor between just-ripe and dead-ripe is dramatic – and especially so with my bagged grapes, which can segue to the dramatic stage within their bags without threat of predation by birds and bees.

exception to that last statement; birds don’t like the flavor and leave the berries alone. This means that the berries don’t have puncture holes that attract bees and wasps, so they also are not a problem.

The deterrent in Concord grapes is the chemical methyl anthranilate, which has been formulated as a spray to keep birds at bay. My wife also doesn’t like Concord.

NIGHT SKY

I see a Black Moon rising But what does it mean?

L

et’s show that we don’t thumb our noses at folklore. That’s where all sorts of labels and terms get applied to celestial objects – mostly the Moon – that astronomers ignore, or haven’t even heard of. Some are of recent origin, like Blue Moon: a term that didn’t exist 80 years ago. Some derive from one or more Native American tribes. Some are used in witchcraft.

One of them is upon us. For people in North and South America, Friday, September 30 is the “Black Moon.” And there’s a second coming up on Halloween! Wow, that will get some media attention, right? But what is a “Black Moon” exactly?

“Black Moon” is not an astronomical term. In fact, if you ask a sample of astronomers, both professional and amateur, very few will have even heard of it. As for its definition, those into folklore say it’s a “Black Moon” if: There are two New Moons in the same month. The second one is the one that qualifies.

There are no New Moons in a month. That could only happen in February, and thus is kind of rare, meaning once every five to ten years. That’s because the Moon’s lunation cycle is 29 ½ days, which is longer than February. So any phase occurring late in the day on January 31 won’t repeat until March 1, skipping February altogether.

The phrase sometimes refers to every New Moon, since we’re then seeing the Moon’s dark or black side.

The phrase is also sometimes applied to mean the third New Moon when there are four in a season, which is actually one of the definitions of a “Blue Moon” when the same thing happens to a Full Moon.

There is no astronomical significance in a Black Moon. Nothing happens, except the usual New Moon absence of any Moon in the sky, plus the stronger so-called “spring” tides we get for a few days around every Full Moon and New Moon.

You’ll get a Black Moon at least once a year, and sometimes twice. For example, last year, on February 18, we had the third New Moon out of four that season, so that was a Black Moon according to that definition. Or it happens every month, if you employ our third definition. You can thus have all the Black Moons you’d like.

This Friday, September 30, we’ve got the second New Moon in September, but only for people in the Western Hemisphere. In Europe and points east from there, the New Moon rises after midnight and hence on October 1 and, sorry, no bingo for them.

European witches will just have to be patient and wait another month to perform the special rituals associated with the occasion. (Hey, witches out there – no angry letters, please. I’m aware that for some groups, it’s the occasion when rituals should be avoided.)

Happy Black Moon, everybody!

DATED: September 29, 2016 Kingston, New York Victoria A. Fabella, Clerk Ulster County Legislature Local Law Number 5 Of 2016 County Of Ulster A Local Law Prohibiting The Sale And Use Of Sky Lanterns In Ulster County BE IT ENACTED, by the Legislature of the County of Ulster, as follows: SECTION 1. TITLE. This Local Law shall be known by and may be cited as “The Sky Lantern Prohibition Act.” SECTION 2. LEGISLATIVE INTENT AND FINDINGS. Among the powers granted to counties by the New York State legislature, a county may adopt a local law that protects the safety, health, and well-being of persons and property within the boundaries of the county. NYS Municipal Home Rule Law §10 (a) (12).

The Ulster County Legislature finds that certain devices, including but not limited to those devices commonly known as, “sky lanterns,” “candle kites,” “Chinese lanterns,” “wish lanterns,” and “sky candles” have become very popular in recent years. These devices are released in mass launches to commemorate events such as holidays, funerals, birthdays, and weddings.

The Ulster County Legislature determines that these devices are intended to float in the air whereby the device is akin to a miniature hot air balloon comprised of oiled rice paper, fire retardant paper, fabric, or similar materials pulled over a frame with a small candle fuel cell or similar heat source within the frame. The small candle or fuel cell heats the air inside the lantern causing the lantern to rise into the air.

The Ulster County Legislature finds that the release of these devices creates a serious fire and safety hazard because of the potential to start an unintended fire on or off the property from where they are released and these devices can travel significant distances from the point of

release. Upon the release or dispatch of the device, it becomes an unattended fire, which is contrary to New York State laws and regulations, without any guarantee the flame or other heat source will be extinguished at the time the device lands on a house, a car, a field, or other undesirable location.

The Ulster County Legislature further determines that these devices are hazardous to domestic animals, wildlife, and small children.

These devices have landed in agricultural areas and the farm animals, not knowing any better, have eaten parts of the devices which has caused their death. These devices have also been the cause of death for wildlife which have either eaten parts of the device or have gotten trapped in it. The frames of these devices are made either from bamboo or wire, or similar materials, and can be large. Small children can either get caught in these frames or snap the frames and hurt themselves.

Accordingly, the Ulster County Legislature deems these devices to be a serious threat to the safety of Ulster County residents and their property and, therefore, the sale and use of these devices in Ulster County should be prohibited.

SECTION 3. PROHIBITION OF SALE. No natural person, company, corporation, limited liability company, firm, partnership, business organization, or other legal entity in Ulster County shall sell, offer for sale, or permit the sale of a device constructed from oiled rice paper, fire retardant paper or fabric on a bamboo or wire frame or other such similar materials, and which contains a small candle or fuel cell composed of a waxy flammable material or other similar materials which heat, directly or indirectly, the air inside the device, thus lowering its density causing the device to rise into the air, or any similar devices. This prohibition includes devices commonly known as a “sky lantern,” “candle kite,” “Chinese candle kite,” “Kongming lantern,” “wish lantern,” “lantern kite,” “fire balloon,” “sky candle,” “candle balloon,” “mini hot air balloon,” “flying lantern,” or “candle balloon.”

SECTION 4. PROHIBITION OF USE. Any unmanned airborne device including, but not limited to, those constructed from oiled rice paper, fire retardant paper or fabric on a bamboo or wire frame or other such similar materials, and which contain a small candle or fuel cell composed of a waxy flammable material or other similar materials which heat, directly or indirectly, the air inside the device, thus lowering its density causing the device to rise into the air shall not be used, released, or dispatched into the air in Ulster County This prohibition includes devices commonly known as a “sky lantern,” “candle kite,” “Chinese candle kite,” “sky lantern,” “Kongming lantern,” “wish lantern,” “lantern kite,” “fire balloon,” “sky candle,” “candle balloon,” “mini hot air balloon,” “flying lantern,” “candle balloon,” or similar devices.

At the edge of the village is this very charming home, currently set up as a single family residence, with 2 bedrooms and 1.5 baths. This well-built ranch has a finished full basement and is zoned HC (Hamlet Commercial). Imagine turning the entire home into a Medical Office, or open a day care center and live upstairs.

Upstairs, there is an adorable and sunny eat-in kitchen, a spacious living room with Vermont Castings and a gas stove, plus a state of the art media room and recreation room with polished concrete floors. The back yard is with a beautiful blue stone patio, antique wood burning fireplace and gazebo, and graced with gorgeous mountain views. Call Sean Zimmerman!........... $249,000

Over the years I have seen some “FSBO” (For Sale By Owner) signs that gave me a chuckle, these few stood out: “For Sale – Owner ready to croak – make offer” and “For Sale

by Owner – mice included.” Finally, “FSBO – I just like the sound of it.” These are funny, but not exactly great marketing tools. When you see our signs, you can be sure that the home seller has gotten some pretty solid advice and our pledge as a professional team to make the transaction move along as easily and smoothly as possible. Most of our expert agents have a long history of doing exactly that.

Here are some that proves the Wi nM point… or ris on

The owner has stated, “Make all reasonable offers, please”! But you will need to call Cindy VanSteenburg first!.................................$58,000

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.
