ban renewal program. More than 400 buildings were demolished, and thousands of residents had to be relocated.

Lost Rondout: A Story of Urban Removal, a new documentary by Stephen Blauweiss and Lynn Woods, tells the story of the nowvanished community and the devastating impact of urban renewal on residents through the period slides of Gene Dauner, as well as interviews with more than 40 individuals, including former residents.

The film chronicles the gradual recovery of the fragment of the neighborhood that was left and documents how both the historic preservation and Civil Rights movements in the City of Kingston were galvanized by the destruction.

Blauweiss and Woods have been working on the film for more than three years, and they now will be premiering the completed version of Lost Rondout at the Rosendale Theatre on Wednesday, November 9 at 8 p.m. Admission costs $10. The Rosendale Theatre is located at 408 Main Street (Route 213) in Rosendale.

MUSIC Liam Ó Maonlaí's Hudson Valley mini-tour Founder and lead singer of the Hothouse Flowers to perform in Red Hook, Kingston, Woodstock & Gardiner

T

he Hudson Valley – and especially Ulster County – is home to a deeply entrenched expatriate Irish community that loves the music, dance and culture of the Emerald Isle. So it’s no surprise that the Irish singer and multi-instrumentalist Liam Ó Maonlaí has received a hearty welcome each time he has performed here over the past few years.

This time, the founder and lead singer of the Hothouse Flowers has scheduled a local mini-tour in advance of his appearance next week with Cassandra Wilson at the Irish Arts Center in New York City. But you don’t have to go there if you are free tonight through Sunday evening (though I’d wager a wee bet that you’ll be eager to travel to the City once you get a taste of him here). You have four upstate opportunities to hear Ó Maonlaí perform, beginning at 7 p.m. tonight at

the Chocolate Factory in Red Hook, and in concerts through Sunday in Kingston, Woodstock and Gardiner. Ó Maonlaí’s deep commitment to indigenous people and to the preservation of native languages and cultural expression starts close to home, in Ireland, where his beloved Gaelic language and culture are under siege. Bob McDonald, Gaelic teacher and program director for the Irish Cultural Center of the Hudson Valley (ICCHV), says, “Liam is very wellknown as a rock ‘n’ roll musician, and he really connects with audiences through his singing, which he does in the Gaelic as well as English languages. He has a real stage presence and spreads mirth and good cheer wherever he goes. He plays rock piano like a master, then switches gears to jazz singing and then, for the crème de la crème, Liam is also a master of instrumentation. As a harp player, he brings music from ancient times to the present. His playing – and he can pick up almost any instrument and play it – is sublime, transcendent.”

His performances here are in alignment with causes and fundraising campaigns that are important to many people here – creating an Irish cultural center in Kingston, standing in support of the Native Americans at Standing Rock – and designed to spread awareness of the beauty of Irish dance and culture. Starting in the

late 1980s as frontman for the Hothouse Flowers, Ó Maonlaí gained international acclaim and has subsequently released two recordings as a solo artist. His most recent projects include performing the songs of Van Morrison, Leonard Cohen and David Bowie in Irish Gaelic, and touring the world as musical director for dance performances. By all accounts, he’s a compelling and engaging musician.

On Thursday evening, Ó Maonlaí kicks off his tour in Red Hook with members of the Solas An Lae (SAL) American Irish dance school. In 1998, dancer Deirdre Lowry started a school

for young dancers and a few years later, Patrick Brown came to work with her. The SAL dance company was established in 2006 and, says Brown, “We set out to create a performance extension for the school, which pushes the envelope for the possibilities of Irish dance. That’s why we call ourselves American Irish dance: because our training process includes ballet and traditional Irish dance. It’s not just step work and footwork, but rather involves the whole body. Deirdre draws on the versatility of movement and music.”

A SAL concert series on the third Sunday afternoon of each month was established three years ago as a training and performance platform for dancers to work on new routines and performance techniques. This concert with Ó Maonlaí is a very special event for the school and, says Brown, “We’re honored to be hosting Liam. He’s all over the map musically, and [exudes a sense of ] timelessness and integrity that’s exciting. And yes, he’s very improvisational. When he arrives, we’ll have rehearsals with him, and have selected four or five pieces that are suitable, both lyrically and rhythmically, for dancers, which we’re hoping to collaborate with him on. His heart and soul really comes out when he’s playing traditional Irish music in the old style of sean-nós.”

On Friday evening, Ó Maonlaí performs at the Arts Society of Kingston (ASK)’s new upstairs gallery with dancers from the D’Amby Project and the T. McCann Band, a lively local group of gentlemen musicians, in a concert to benefit the ICCHV and its desire to build an Irish cultural center in Kingston. The D’Amby Project performed last summer at the Phoenicia Festival of the Voice and, says McDonald, “They wowed the audience. They were so graceful, athletic and rhythmic, and their costumes were striking. They really captured the imagination with kinetic energy, and the dancers are all cut from the same cloth as Leighann [Kowalsky, the director]. She moves with the grace of a lioness, and it’s thrilling to watch her dance students perform.”

Gaelic-speakers, travels often to Ireland, Scotland and Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, where Gaelic is still spoken by the older generation. “For me, it’s a totally natural thing. The arts are as natural [in those areas] as breathing; it’s a very integrated society, including music, dance, sports and storytelling – not like here. I know a lot of people who happen to love Gaelic singing, and Liam did a beautiful evening of song the night I first met him,” he says, recalling an informal concert from a decade ago. Ó Maonlaí began coming to America for house concerts shortly thereafter, and has built up quite a base of local fans since then. “He is very caring and very supportive of indigenous speakers around the world, particularly of Native Americans, because Gaelic language and culture is under threat in his own country.”

At a benefit concert on Saturday evening, “Water is Life,” at the Woodstock Community Center, Ó Maonlaí headlines a concert to help sustain the presence of the International Indigenous Youth Council at Standing Rock in North Dakota, where water protectors are waging peaceful protests against the Dakota Access Pipeline. He’ll be joined by vocalist Bethany Yarrow, cellist Rufus Cappadocia and local percussionist Joakim Lartey in a concert preceded by a presentation from Rachel Marco-Havens and representatives of Earth Guardians New York, who are working locally as well as in support of Native American and other resisters who are camped at Standing Rock. Ó Maonlaí wraps up his Hudson Valley tour on Sunday at an “Amp It Up” benefit at the Yard Owl Brewery in Gardiner to raise construction funds for a new amphitheater at the Lenape Elementary School. The campaign to create a new 500-seat performance, education and gathering space for the entire New Paltz Central School District community was initiated by the Duzine/Lenape PTA. The new amphitheater will be an outdoor classroom, a school-based and public performance space and the setting for the annual fifth grade Moving Up ceremony.

A VIP reception with Ó Maonlaí and Niall Connolly will be held at 4 p.m., with complimentary hors d’oeuvres, a Yard Owl craft brew and seating for the show.

Micro-review: Vijay Iyer & Craig Taborn at EMPAC in Troy

For a listener, the great thing about in-the-moment music is that you never know what you’ll get. The players can throw off improvisational sizzle that you didn’t think was even possible. They can go through the motions with a listlessness that disappoints.

The musicians can be unbelievably attuned to each other or they can play as though they’re not only from different planets, but on different planets.

The duo-piano concert last Saturday night at EMPAC in Troy contained all these possibilities plus many more. In terms of technical proficiency and musical imagination, Vijay Iyer and Craig Taborn are both right up there. They’ve both played in ensembles with jazz giants and innovators, and they’re both known for their solo concert work as well.

So here were these two grand pianos in the middle of the otherwise-bare stage, keyboards facing outward from the instruments. The lights dimmed. What was going to happen?

Faced with a barrage of expressive sound, this listener began to draw exaggerated conclusions that may well have been his alone. He saw Taborn as improvising in a barrelhouse style, pumping out restless, repetitive right-hand chords, creating tentative fragments of melody with his

TONY TRISCHKA’S EARLY ROMAN KINGS PLAY DYLAN ON SATURDAY IN ROSENDALE

T

he Rosendale Café present Tony Trischka’s Early Roman Kings, featuring the music of Bob Dylan, on Saturday, November 5 at 8 p.m. A legend of the progressive bluegrass scene and a player who keeps company with the bluegrass and newgrass heaviest of heavies, Trischka’s Kings feature some of the brightest up-and-coming talents in a world where a genre-defying virtuosity is just assumed and what you do with it is all that matters. What these stud instrumentalists do with Dylan is anyone’s guess.

The Early Roman Kings are Stash Wyslouch on guitar and vocals, Sean Trischka on drums and vocals and Jared Engel on bass. Admission costs $20. The Rosendale Café is located at 434 Main Street in Rosendale. For more information, visit http://rosendalecafe.com.

other hand and listening carefully to what was emerging from Iyer’s side. He saw Iyer as a diligent Nadia Boulanger student (so help me!) offering spare rhythmic note clusters in an elegant and accomplished French Impressionist style and then bursting out with prolonged developments of some aspect of what he was doing. Taborn would thoughtfully fill in and occasionally offer extended comment of his own.

On the plus side, the whole thing was fascinating to listen to. On the minus side, the proceedings never evolved to a higher understanding, and for this listener the kind of joy and happiness that accompanies resolution of an emotional puzzle didn’t occur.

Would I go again? Sure would.

Bearsville Theater this Saturday with a visit from the Buenos Aires-based Orquesta Victoria. Founded and conducted by the grandson of chess grand master Miguel Najdorf, a Polish Jew who escaped the Holocaust by fleeing to Argentina in the 1930s, this 12-piece tango orchestra reimagines tango classics and performs new compositions that build bridges between the streets of Buenos Aires and the experience of the California diaspora.

That conductor, Ezequiel (Cheche)

Ordóñez, performs on bandoneón, as does Hugo Satorre. Also in the orchestra are violinists Maritza Pachecho Blanco, Florencia Prieto, Noelia Garasino and Sara Tubbia Ryan, violist Andrés Hojman, cellist Agustín Scheinkerman, pianist/ arranger Alejandro Drago, Pablo Pesci on clarón, Hernán Cuadrado on double bass and Mariana Quinteros on vocals. The group has performed at the 2014 Tango World Cup in Buenos Aires and for heads of state at the Casa Rosada, Argentina’s equivalent of the White House. The orchestra is known for its regular weekly show at Café Vinilo, in Buenos Aires’ trendy Palermo neighborhood, and tours around Argentina, throughout South America and recently in Germany, Austria and Russia.

Orquesta Victoria’s concert begins at 9 p.m. this Saturday, November 5 at the Bearsville Theatre, located at 291 Tinker Street on the western frontier of Woodstock. Tickets cost $25 on the day of the show, but can be purchased in advance for $20 at www.ticketmaster. com/event/000051354C12D993.

Julian Koster brings The Orbiting Human Circus to BSP in Kingston

It seems appropriate and perhaps even inevitable that the musician/ writer Julian Koster would explore the world of radio theater as a mode of storytelling and multimedia composition. The leader of the lo-fi, cinematic outfit the Music Tapes, Koster is best-

known – permanently known – as an Elephant 6 Records scenester and a core member of the Elephant 6 flagship band Neutral Milk Hotel, whose 1998 classic In an Aeroplane over the Sea stands as the touchstone of ecstatic, Dionysian indie folk/rock in this era of ecstatic, Dionysian indie folk/ rock.

Koster didn’t write or sing the tunes on that wonderful, mystical record (that would be Jeff Mangum, of course), but he was maybe the most recognizable instrumental voice in the psychedelic ragamuffin street-band din that backs Mangum and frequently overtakes him in the long, fuzzy freakout jams that account for more of that record’s 40 minutes than many of its canonizers would like to admit. Koster’s axe of choice is a saw: the singing saw, an over-the-counter actual saw manipulated by bending to produce a quavering and approximate pitched tone that sounds somewhat like a pastoral Theremin. In the entire arsenal of musical novelty, what sound seems a more direct bridge to audio theater than the sad and ghostly swoop of the singing saw?

With The Orbiting Human Circus, Koster makes the leap into a stylized, vaguely retro mode of audio-theater storytelling. The multipart podcast series – picked up by the sympathetic Night Vale Presents network – tells the story of a surreal radio variety show that takes place atop the Eiffel Tower, and centers on the figure of a lonely janitor, played by Koster himself. The series has both podcast and live-show incarnations.

The Orbiting Human Circus featuring Julian Koster and the Music Tapes visits BSP in Kingston on Wednesday, November 9 at 8 p.m. Tickets cost $12 in advance and $15 at the door. Advance tickets may be purchased online (visit www.bspkingston. com) and are also available locally (cash only, no fees) at Outdated and Rocket Number Nine Records in Kingston, Darkside Records in Poughkeepsie, Jack’s Rhythms in New Paltz and the Woodstock Music Shop in both its Woodstock and Kingston locations. BSP is located at 323 Wall Street in Kingston.

If you’re empaneled as a juror, you’ll be, not one of millions, but one of 12 or maybe only six other citizens taking part in one of “democracy’s greatest civic opportunities,” he says.

O’Neill feels strongly about the role of the juror in our society. You wouldn’t expect less from the Ulster County Commissioner of Jurors. But if you’ve had occasion to be called for jury duty on O’Neill’s watch, you’ll have heard him tell you in passionate detail exactly why jury duty is so important.

It’s a matter, he says, of having your voice heard at the local or even the national level. “I can’t overemphasize its importance,” he says. “The decisions our

The Ulster County Courthouse (above) on Wall Street in Kingston. Built in 1818, the courthouse was erected on the same site where the original smaller limestone county courthouse stood (pictured below). It was in the original Ulster County Courthouse that New York State was officially born. The New York State Constitution was written in its rooms and adopted on April 20, 1777.

jurors make are so important – and it’s something that exists almost nowhere else in the world.” Jury duty, O’Neill believes, isn’t a duty: “It’s a right.”

O’Neill illustrates his beliefs by providing prospective jurors with what he calls the “historical backdrop” of the very spot in which those citizens are sitting. The Ulster County Courthouse in Kingston is no ordinary building; it’s the handsome late-Georgian descendant of a rude limestone building, now gone, that was one of the country’s earliest bastions of democracy.

Flashback to the time of the Revolutionary War. Kingston was already a well-established community that, in 1777, provided a brief harbor for the men charged with creating a new constitution for the nascent State of New York. Kingston briefly became the state’s capital when British troops invaded and took New York City. Those constitutional delegates who had fled New York City hammered out the new state’s constitution in the chilly winter confines of the modest limestone building that doubled as the county’s courthouse and jail. In July, the state’s first freely elected governor, George Clinton, took the oath of office in the courthouse.

These delegates – whose numbers included John Jay, later to become the

first Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court – were forced to flee a second time before British general John Vaughn, together with his 1,600 troops, demonstrated his displeasure with the rebels by burning Kingston to the ground.

O’Neill typically likes to remind prospective jurors of the current building’s more recent place in history. It was there, in 1828, that an Ulster County woman whose slave name was Isabella sued to recover her son who had been sold to a white family in Alabama. Against all odds, the woman who renamed herself Sojourner Truth won the suit and became one of the country’s best-known Abolitionists and women’s rights activists.

O’Neill brings the full force of his interest in and knowledge of Kingston’s storied past to his courthouse presentations; he’s a member of both the Friends of Historic Kingston and Friends of the Senate House. And he’s more than a believer in the jury system because he has seen the effect that it has on the men and women who accept the responsibility to serve.

“Jury service is inconvenient and it's difficult, but it’s not supposed to be easy,” he says. “But I’ve seen, time and again, how the experience of being a juror invariably leaves those who accept the challenge with a belief and a faith in our justice system.”

Bald eagles’ Hudson Valley comeback

COURTESY OF OKLAHOMA HISTORICAL SOCIETY

Still from The Daughter of Dawn. The silent ďŹ lm cast more than 300 Comanche and Kiowa actors, who wore their own traditional clothing, supplied their own props including tipis and weapons and performed dances that they had preserved despite a US government ban on such rituals.

HISTORY

Native intelligence “Lost� silent classic The Daughter of Dawn this Sunday in Rosendale

F

or many decades, Hollywood studios did a hatchet job on the public image of Native Americans, pumping out Westerns in which the cowboys were the civilized good guys and the Indians the bloodthirsty “savages.� They mushed various tribal cultures together indiscriminately and dressed white actors in fanciful designer versions of indigenous costumes. But on a few occasions in the early days of the cinema industry, indie filmmakers with limited production budgets managed to capture more authentic representations of Native American lifeways.

One such experiment, long thought lost but recently restored, was The Daughter of Dawn, shot in the Wichita Mountains of Oklahoma in 1920 by Norbert A. Myles and Richard Banks. A romantic melodrama about a love triangle involving the daughter of a Kiowa chief, the silent film cast more than 300 Comanche and Kiowa actors, who wore their own traditional clothing, supplied their own props including tipis and weapons and performed dances that they had preserved despite a US government ban on such rituals. Much of the story revolves around a buffalo hunt.

A copy of The Daughter of Dawn, held together in places by masking tape, surfaced in 2005. It was acquired by the Oklahoma Historical Society, restored and digitized in 2012. Few have yet seen this rare piece of cinema history, but we’ll get our chance this weekend, when the Rosendale Theatre’s monthly Sunday Silents series presents an afternoon screening of The Daughter of Dawn. Local musician Marta Waterman will improvise a film score live on piano, and a music and dance program preceding the screening will feature Pamunkey/Powhatan musician Reverend Nick Miles and his drum group, the Cloudbreakers.

Admission to The Daughter of Dawn screening at 3 p.m. on Sunday, November 6 costs $7. The Rosendale Theatre is located at 408 Main Street (Route 213) in Rosendale. For more info, call (845) 658-8989 or visit www.rosendaletheatre.org. – Frances Marion Platt

Learn about John Burroughs on Saturday One neat thing about the current craze for PokÊmon Go is the way that it’s inducing families to slow down enough to ponder historical markers that they would normally ignore while driving past in a rush somewhere.

There’s one not far from the tiny hamlet of High Falls, pointing to the spot where John Burroughs once taught school.

Like Sojourner Truth, Burroughs is one of those local heroes of whose shiny legacy every remotely associated community

wants to grab a piece. West Park, where the 19th-century naturalist had his longtime waterfront home, Riverby, and his rustic writing retreat, Slabsides, gets the lion’s share of the tourism and school-fieldtrip action. But people from the Catskills end of our readership area are quick to remind us that John Burroughs was born and raised on a rocky mountainside farm in Roxbury. He often returned to the old home place to stay in a little house built by his brother, called Woodchuck Lodge, and his burial site is nearby. “One of America’s most famous men, Burroughs never stopped being a Catskill Mountain boy,� writes Bill Birns, a teacher and writer who currently serves

as president of the Board of Trustees of Woodchuck Lodge. “The sense of place that grounded him in the Catskills was always central to John Burroughs’ being.�

Birns will be giving a lecture this Saturday, November 5 at 2 p.m. in the Community Room of the Saugerties Public Library on the topic of “John Burroughs, the Catskill Mountains and the American Wild.� This informal talk on the “Sage of Slabsides� is free and open to the public, the latest in the Friends of Historic Saugerties’ monthly lecture series.

Remember the first time you ever spotted a bald eagle in the wild? Unless you’re quite young, it probably wasn’t in the Hudson Valley. I saw my first pair through binoculars, soaring high above Chesapeake Bay, in 1993.

Before then, bald eagles seemed almost like mythical creatures, near extinction and only to be found in the remotest of places.

Nowadays, of course, we in the midHudson are blessed with a burgeoning population of these charismatic raptors.

I’ve seen them nesting in tall pines next to the Ashokan Reservoir, diving for fish in the Hudson by Kingston Point, roosting in that big sycamore that dominates the Plattekill Gorge, off the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail just south of New Paltz. Spotting a bald eagle still seems a thrill and a privilege, but it’s no longer terribly rare.

The story of the national symbol’s comeback is a fascinating and heartening one. In 1997, a nesting pair in Greene County produced the first fledgling in the Hudson Valley in a century. This past breeding season, 19 years later, Hudson River watershed bald eagles produced more than three dozen new eaglets. The work and dedication of a lot of environmentalists and scientists went into making this region a healthy habitat for these magnificent birds once again.

Want to learn more? Join Tom Lake, New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Estuary Program naturalist and editor of the Hudson River Almanac, on Wednesday, November 9 at the Rosendale Community Center. Sponsored by the Rosendale Public Library, Lake will give a talk on “The Recovery of Hudson Valley Bald Eagles.� The lecture begins at 7 p.m., and admission is free.

The Rosendale Community Center is located at 1055 Route 32 in Rosendale.

Andy Borowitz (left) will perform a post-election show at the Bardavon in Poughkeepsie on November 11, and the Capitol Steps (right)will perform there before the election on November 6.

Timely tonics Capitol Steps and Andy Borowitz offer pre- and post-election satire at Bardavon

T

here’s nothing like a presidential race to remind us that politics can be laughably absurd and downright depressing at the same time. However polarized, voters across the spectrum can likely agree on the fact that this year’s campaign has reached new heights – or depths – of inspiration to smack ourselves in the forehead with disbelief that things can get this weird in good ol’ America.

We can also fairly assume that the 2016 election will provide satirists ample material for years to come – which is nice, but first we have to get through the next week. If you’re feeling the need for an injection of humor to help carry you over until some semblance of normality reasserts itself, you have two great choices coming up at the Bardavon, one just before and one a little after Election Day: First, this Sunday, November 6, the Capitol Steps will be back, and no candidate will be safe from being lampooned in Broadway-worthy songand-dance format. You know the origin story: A bunch of Senate staffers got

together back in 1981 to plan some entertainment for an office Christmas party, and quickly discovered that Capitol Hill was loaded with wannabe s i n g e r s , songwriters and actors on both sides of the aisle who had settled for more “practical” career paths in politics.

Their access to inside info on the grisly process of cranking out legislative sausage proved a gold mine for musical satire, and they haven’t slacked since.

Although not all of the current members of the Steps are former Capitol Hill staffers, taken together the performers have worked in a total of 18 Congressional offices and

represent 62 years of collective House and Senate staff experience. You’ve heard them on NPR, you’ve seen them on TV; maybe you’ve even bought one of their 30+ records. Isn’t it high time you saw them perform l i v e ? T h e y ’r e probably gleefully dusting off some of their old numbers about the infinitely mockable Anthony Wiener, as we speak.

The Capitol Steps take the stage at the Bardavon 1869 Opera House at 7 p.m. on November 6. Tickets for this show cost $45 general admission, $40 for Bardavon members. You can purchase them at the Bardavon box office at 35 Market Street in Poughkeepsie, (845) 473-2072; at the

Or maybe you’d rather wait until we know the outcomes of the election and the dust has somewhat settled. Maybe next weekend you’ll be able to manage a rueful smile – especially if provoked by Andy Borowitz, whose humor pieces in The New Yorker have provided some of the most consistently amusing diversions available throughout this long campaign.

The deadpan headlines of his “Borowitz Report” essays – like last week’s “Queen Offers to Restore British Rule over US” – are the sort of clickbait that makes the Internet prowler do a double-take, because they are so barely-over-the-edge ridiculous that in this election year, they just might be true.

Borowitz’s post-election show at the Bardavon on Friday, November 11, will provide some sharp, slightly warped perspective on the bizarre experience that we’ve all undergone, publicly and collectively, over the past year, and perhaps some tonic ways of looking forward. It will also generate always-needed income for WAMC Northeast Public Radio. These

Cocoon Theatre’s Beckett Performance Festival stages three rarely seen short plays next two weekends at Poughkeepsie’s Cunneen-Hackett hether you find them hilarious or bleak, profound or baffling, the works of Nobel Prizewinning Irish avant-garde playwright and poet Samuel Beckett are an integral component of the education of the modern theatergoer. Here in the mid-Hudson we’ve lately seen revivals of a couple of his better-known plays, Waiting for Godot and Happy Days; but there’s a whole world of Beckett works that very rarely get performed. The Poughkeepsie-based Cocoon Actors’ Theatre has undertaken to rectify this obscurity to some degree with its annual Beckett Performance Festival, which this year tackles three short pieces that are virtually unknown to all but the most avid culture vulture.

The playlets being featured for 2016 include Not I (1972), a haunting duet piece exploring the voice of one woman; A Piece of a Monologue (1979), a very quiet monologue for one male actor; and The Old Tune (1960), a free translation of Robert Pinget’s play La Manivelle, is a fast-paced, comedic duet for two very old men. Performances at the CunneenHackett Theatre will begin at 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, November 4, 5, 11 and 12, and at 3 p.m. on Sundays, November 6 and 13.

Special guest lecturers will speak post-show, with open discussions with the directors, actors and audience. The performers include Jim Granger, Andrés and Marguerite San Millán and Douglas Woolley. A “Black and White Sculpture” art installation, accompanied by Craig Chin’s Sound, will be presented in the parlor rooms of the Theatre building before and after each performance. The historic Cunneen-Hackett Theatre is located at 12 Vassar Street, just off Main Street in Poughkeepsie’s Waterfront District.

Tickets to all shows cost $25. To reserve yours, call (845) 452-7870 or visit www. cocoontheatre.org.

ART Newburgh rising Q&A with Virginia Walsh, curator of "power and Politics" and director of the Ann Street Gallery

O

ne of this season’s most exciting art exhibitions is “Power and Politics,” an assemblage of paintings, assemblages, sculpture and prints at the Ann Street Gallery in Newburgh. The works represent a diversity of subjects that collectively examine the role of politics and power – not just on the national stage in this election year, but also in other aspects of society. There are pieces referring to pedophilia in the Catholic church (But Not without Content, a painting by Jack Rosenberg depicting the Pope laughing above a row of naked children covering their eyes); the loss of manufacturing (Morgan Craig’s large paintings of industrial ruins); police brutality toward African Americans (Hubert Neal, Jr.’s series of small signlike paintings of a brown figure brutally beat up by blue uniformed police); and America’s secret and not-so-secret imperialist wars (Steve Derrickson’s sumptuous landscape paintings of exploding bombs, each stencil with the name of the country being attacked).

Each artwork is beautifully displayed against the white walls of the spacious, 1,700-square-foot gallery, and in many works, the medium itself further comments on the theme. For example, the rough, half-finished, handmade aspect of the embroidered samplers on canvas

by Patricia Dahlman, in which stitched words and images describe the health emergency of a person suffering from fibroids without insurance, a portrait of Obama surrounded by the policies of the left and the duck-hunting expedition of a grotesquely rendered Hillary Clinton embody a humble and homemade craft that defies the tech-driven, mediasaturated milieu controlled by vested interests that drives our politics, while Celine Browning’s red ceramic grenade rendered as a human heart conflates with perfect succinctness the emotions of rage, desperation and fear.

The strength of “Power and Politics” is a testament to the curatorial talents and vision of Virginia Walsh, who has served as the gallery’s director and curator since its inception in 2006. Walsh, who moved to Newburgh from New York City upon taking the position and now lives in Kingston, has passionately taken on the

Patricia Dahlman's Hillary Duck Hunting with Dad, thread on canvas, 15" x 15"

challenge of enriching the cultural life of an underserved community by showing first-rate art: a quest that has expanded the gallery’s reputation far beyond the region. Almanac Weekly’s Lynn Woods recently interviewed Walsh: Ann Street Gallery is part of an affordable housing complex called Safe Harbors of the Hudson. What is Safe Harbors, and how did it come to include a gallery?

It’s a nonprofit modeled on a nonprofit in New York City called Common Ground, whose facilities provide housing as well as a lot of amenities, including a library and gym. This building was an old hotel that was just a crack house before it was developed as housing. The original template was 128 units allocated to people who were homeless, along with workforce housing, people with disabilities and 12 units for artists. Visual artists also get a studio to work in. The complex includes the gallery, the former Ritz Theater and a café.

Had you been to Newburgh before taking the job?

I had been living in the City and on the Stone Ridge/High Falls border, and

I used to come to Newburgh to visit the Yellow Bird Gallery [on the waterfront, now defunct], which was astounding in its architectural design. I had a background in partnerships and owning galleries and a printmaking shop in the City, and I liked the challenging aspect of the position when I heard they were looking for a director. The first two weeks when I looked out my window and saw prostitutes across the street, I wondered what I was getting myself into. I decided, “It’s us or them.”

What was your vision for the gallery?

We wanted to be a resource for the community. We’re in a very tough neighborhood, and back then, no one was coming to Newburgh except drug dealers.

We realized we were going to need a very strong hook to bring people here, so we decided on an eclectic rotating schedule.

That way we could show all forms of contemporary art. We have a new show every six to eight weeks, which gives people time to come to the gallery and be supportive. By being eclectic, rather than limiting ourselves to just abstract or representational work, we’re able to support a larger pool of artists. It also keeps the interest going: Nobody knows what’s going to happen next.

We show artists locally, regionally and statewide, but we’re not so provincial we weren’t going to go outside. We’ve invited artists from across and outside the country, which is good for our organization and gallery as a whole, because you get the word out. I owe a lot to the artists, who get to network. Sometimes we’ve had as

many as 50 to 60 artists in a show. “Power and Politics” has 29 artists, including one from the UK as well as artists from Texas, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Florida, and other states.

Who is your audience?

We’re not highbrow or elitist. We make the experience welcoming. I welcome having people tell me what they think.

I don’t want them to feel intimidated. If you spend five or six minutes before an artwork and find it disturbing, it’s a portal to having a conversation. We get people off the street, from schools and colleges, and we have a following. People come from the boroughs of New York City, Pennsylvania and other distant places. Safe Harbors also holds a tour that attracts politicians and citizens interested in the organization.

How do you select the artists?

Many of the works are by established or mid-career artists who are creating and making and showing in other spaces.

I’m proactive in curating. I pay attention to what’s happening in the art world by visiting local exhibits and traveling to Massachusetts and Connecticut. This weekend I’m traveling to Philadelphia.

I look at works being shown in Brooklyn and Manhattan, and do a lot of research online. I follow the art criticism blogs and read the art publications.

I’m kind of a hoarder of information; I’ll pick up cards in the deli or coffeeshop where an artist is showing. I also talk to a lot of artists and keep in contact with those who have shown here. They keep me updated on what they’re doing

the power to see things through or put the kibosh on something have an effect.

It’s about the politics of the church and society. What the artist is saying also has to do with what you are bringing to it.

What is your perspective in looking at this type of imagery? What feeling does it bring up, and what personal view and opinions?

Doing this in a gallery is kind of safe.

We can talk about issues here, hopefully respectfully, because it’s just art. Art can be powerful. It’s one of the last places where you get away with saying these things and visually communicating them without being totally shut down and censored.

EXHIBITION

ROBERT & SHANA PARKEHARRISON ON VIEW AT CENTER FOR PHOTOGRAPHY AT WOODSTOCK

R

obert and Shana ParkeHarrison’s “nature photography” is like no other that you’ve seen. Though environmentalist in message, the images captured by the Saratoga Springs couple are Daliesque staged tableaux that combine organic materials with weird Steampunkish contraptions and human figures trying to do impossible things. The effect is unsettling, at once idealized and creepy. You can experience it for yourself at the Center for Photography at Woodstock (CPW), where the exhibition simply titled “Robert & Shana ParkeHarrison” opens with a gallery reception and artists’ talk beginning at 6 p.m. this Saturday, November 5.

The show will feature 14 images from two series by the art photographers: “The Architect’s Brother,” all in sepia tones, and “Counterpoint,” using muted color. “The Architect’s Brother” features a “quixotic protagonist, who, unhindered by his ill-fitting business suit, is determined to heal the physical wounds of our Earth. Blindly optimistic and purposeful, he labors away to counter society’s environmental misdeeds, to dance for healing rain or to mend nature’s gaping wounds. The images in the ‘Counterpoint Series’ continue his yearning to understand and reverse mankind’s broken relationship to nature.” To put it more explicitly, we see in these photos a guy curled up in the soil with roots or shoots growing out of his head, or hauling a blanket of turf over a scarred landscape, or tethering fluffy clouds to the ground with vines, or stitching a seismic vent with a gigantic needle. “This work continues our 20-year investigation of the triangular interaction of nature, technology and human existence,” says the artists’ statement.

Check out the surreal world of the ParkeHarrisons now through January 8.

The CPW galleries are open to the public, free of charge, from 12 noon to 5 p.m.

Wednesdays through Sundays and by appointment. CPW is located at 59 Tinker Street in Woodstock. For more info, visit www.cpw.org.

in the future, and they have friends. I also encourage solicitations. I review everything I receive, and if I could possibly use an artist’s work in the future, I’ll archive it. Sometime this takes two years.

I’ve had people submit work from Spain, Japan, Argentina. I seek a high standard in terms of the formal qualities. I’m not saying, “Give me your résumé,” but looking at the quality of the work. I’ve shown work by students who’ve not yet gotten their BFA or MFA, as well as people with museum track records.

For “Power and Politics,” you solicited artists you found online. How would you describe the curatorial process?

It’s kind of like a chess game or jigsaw puzzle. I’m not interested in just putting up an artwork for sale or having artwork on the wall. I want to make sure that everyone, regardless of the size or dimension of their piece, is getting equal time in the schematics of the show. I want to make sure the piece represents the

Any other plans for the gallery?

We’d like to do other forms of programming. We did a performance arts series over seven weeks this summer that I curated with Thomas Albrecht, assistant dean at SUNY-New Paltz. It was called “Thread” and was part of a collaboration with the Queens Museum and Rosekill Farm. The more successful performers were those who were involved with the audience. I would like to curate and craft another program in which the performing arts are audience-centric.

I’d also like to have more programming aimed at young people. We have young kids from Head Start all the way up to college kids coming here, and I’d like to coordinate programming with the exhibits that speak to those different age groups.

You’re a nonprofit. Is that a benefit, given that many galleries in the area are shoestring operations run by volunteers?

All the money we make from selling art goes back into the programming. We get sponsorships and apply for grants to help pay the salaries, electric bill et cetera. It goes both ways. I don’t have a staff, but I do get interns. After they’re here a year, they’re my assistants. Many are students who come home from college for the summer. I also get adult volunteers.

Are more artists moving to Newburgh?

Artists are moving to Newburgh, but many living here already came from the City, so it’s nothing new. Everything’s the

new Williamsburg. Beacon is starting to reap the disadvantage of being well-publicized, and people are being priced out. A lot of them are coming to Newburgh, and there’s a big push by the realty people. The urban architecture is absolutely gorgeous, and the city’s Downing Park was designed by Vaux and Olmsted, who designed Central Park. But Newburgh has a lot of internal problems.

There are gangs and drugs, and the taxes are really high.

This organization has been a cornerstone of the community, along with Habitat for Humanity, whose offices are located across the parking lot. There are some businesses on Ann and Liberty Streets and on Broadway. Around this small nexus of streets, people are buying homes. It’s not anywhere near what the city needs, as far as creating homeownership that contributes to the tax base.

What’s your next show?

We’re closed after November 26 for renovations and will reopen at the end of January. I don’t want to talk about the next show, because I’m still contacting the artists.

There is a show conceptually I’d like to do, which is about people with disabilities.

That includes all sorts of disabilities: mental, physical. It’s an underserved community that has its own challenges for the curator, and also for the artists themselves. People who are creating might not have the capacity to follow up.

A disability might be some kind of eating disability, something that’s debilitating as well. It’s also about stretching those boundaries and then having the viewer come in and look at this. By upending these expectations, hopefully you can open the self up and question.

You don’t have to like the work. It’s about opening yourself to a new experience and bringing up a dialogue between people.

It’s good to have an alternative opinion.

Art is for everyone; everyone is creative.

artist as best it can. It’s kind of like their sound-bite.

How do you develop the themes for the shows?

I’ve been working on the concept for “Power and Politics” for two or three years. I was very interested in political cartooning, particularly after the Charlie Hebdo shooting in France. It’s intuitive, and sometimes related to something current. I did have a show on comic art as a result of that original concept last February. It was focused on people in the industry – those making graphic novels and comic books – as well as artists who appropriate imagery from comic books.

This show turned out to be more political, especially because it’s within an election year.

KELLY REICHARDT, who teaches at Bard College when she isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t off shooting a film, says that the stories she tells onscreen are â&#x20AC;&#x153;all about getting from point A to point B, about someone going from stuck to unstuck.â&#x20AC;?

egular readers of Almanac Weekly movie reviews may recall that your humble critic tends to complain a lot about action movies for having too muchâ&#x20AC;Śwell, action. Disjointed, hyperkinetic screen images may dazzle the eye and raise the pulse, but they can also disrupt narrative flow when they mean to move it forward. Call me old-fashioned, but I tend to prefer filmmakers who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lead visually where my brain canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t follow. So maybe that makes me the ideal audience for a new/old, as-yet-unnamed genre that could be described as â&#x20AC;&#x153;inaction moviesâ&#x20AC;?: the kind made by director Kelly Reichardt (River of Grass, Old Joy, Wendy and Lucy, Meekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cutoff, Night Moves).

Reichardt has been called â&#x20AC;&#x153;the last indie purist.â&#x20AC;? Her contemplative visual style is often compared to that of Terrence Malick, though she typically has a much smaller

budget to spend on grand cinematography.

And her low-key, episodic approach to storytelling evokes for some the works of Robert Altman, particularly his ensembleacting pieces like Short Cuts. Reichardt typically trains her eye on the dull, small doings of ordinary people, set against larger-than-life, dramatic American landscapes.

Her latest work, Certain Women, was filmed in and around Livingston, Montana: a small city not too far from the Great Plainsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; abrupt termination at the feet of the Rocky Mountains, where Interstate 90 heads over the Bozeman Pass and the Bitterroot Range towards Butte and Missoula. Wherever one points a camera in Livingston, those picturebook peaks loom tantalizingly on the horizon, while the foreground reality is bleak, flat and windswept. And cold: Sometimes the cast was shooting in below-zero weather. But that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deter the A-list actors who are willing to work for less than they can get elsewhere just so they can be in a Kelly Reichardt film.

These movies will never make zillions of dollars from the megaplex crowd, but they are terrific showcases for actors who can make the slow burn, the longing gaze look and feel real.

Reichardt, who teaches at Bard College when she isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t off shooting a film in insanely harsh conditions in some remote location, has been quoted as saying that the stories she tells onscreen are â&#x20AC;&#x153;all about getting from point A to point B, about

someone going from stuck to unstuck.â&#x20AC;?

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a pretty good encapsulation of the predicaments of the women who are the foci of the three episodes in Certain Women. They are â&#x20AC;&#x153;certainâ&#x20AC;? in the sense of knowing what they want, but stymied in their efforts to get it by habits of learned passivity and pacification that most women in the audience will doubtless recognize from their own â&#x20AC;&#x153;training.â&#x20AC;?

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a feminist message here, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s subtle. These are stories of women with a lot to give who go unseen, unheard, because they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how to demand, to feel entitled the way the men in their lives do.

Laura Dern portrays Laura, a middleaged attorney whose married lover is dumping her while she fends off Fuller, a relentless, slightly unhinged client who has been injured in a workplace accident.

Having accepted a settlement from his employer, he has forfeited his right to further legal redress; but he wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take no from a female lawyer. Eventually Fuller â&#x20AC;&#x201C; played magnificently by Jared Harris â&#x20AC;&#x201C; goes postal, and Laura is pressured into becoming the mediator in a hostage crisis.

Lauraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tepid lover, Ryan (James LeGros), is married to Gina (Michelle Williams). They also run a business together, but Gina is mainly obsessed with building a home with all-natural materials (contrasting with the ticky-tacky plywood dwellings depicted as typical of Livingston) on a gorgeous streamfront site.

continually subverts Gina in her passion project, as well as with their surly teenage daughter (Sara Rodier). The situation comes to a head when the couple approach an elderly friend of the family (RenĂŠ Auberjonois), who has a pile of fine sandstone that he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really need, but would make a great wall for Ginaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dreamhouse.

Then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jamie, a tongue-tied young Native American ranch hand with a gift for working with horses but no perceptible social life with humans. She wanders into a night class at a community college, taught by Beth, a frazzled young lawyer who has to commute four hours over the icy mountain pass to teach there. The two begin hanging out in a local diner after classes, and Jamie develops a serious crush on oblivious, self-involved Beth. In the latter role, Kristen Stewart goes a long way on the path of redemption from being a bad actress in sparkly-vampire movies; but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lily Gladstone as Jamie who deserves to become an overnight star for her work in Certain Women. Though she has amazingly few lines, the novice actressâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; face is a canvas on which the characterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s every emotion plays with heartbreaking subtlety. The movie is worth seeing just to witness this breakout performance.

That said, Certain Women is not for everybody. It will likely bore the pants off moviegoers who prefer high-octane car chases to low-key character studies.

But it will come as a welcome change from the usual Hollywood fare to viewers who enjoy deep, thoughtful stories that take their time in the telling. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Frances Marion Platt

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

A passage of pears How to make an archway bear fruit

S

tepping down the two stones at one end of my bluestone wall, a friend looked up and asked, “Are you torturing or training this tree?” He was referring to the tree on one side of the stairway, one long stem of which was arching overhead, held in that position with a string tied to a stone on the opposite side of the stairway.

“Training,” I replied. The stem was being coaxed into this seemingly submissive position both for form and function – not to inflict pain.

But first, something about this tree. It is an Asian pear: the variety Seuri Li that I created many years ago by grafting a Seuri Li stem onto a semi-dwarfing rootstock (OH x F 513). Its initial training was as an en arcure espalier. Deer found the young pear trees sitting high enough on the backfilled soil behind the wall a convenient smörgåsbord; they didn’t even have to bend down to nibble at them. So the espalier became a deer-modified en arcure.

Seuri Li never bore as well as the other Asian pears – Yoinashi, Yakumo and Chojuro – trained above that wall. Last year I lopped back one major stem of Seuri Li and grafted a stem of the variety Korean Giant onto the stump. The graft “took,” and fueled by the established root system, buds from the grafted stem soared skyward.

Growth from the graft was vigorous enough to start a large arch over the two-stone stairway – a very big en arcure.

“Are you torturing or training this tree?”

Training to en arcure entails bending the single stem of a young fruit tree over to its neighbor. Typically, a bud near the high point of the arch will grow out into a vigorous shoot, which is then bent in an arch in the opposite direction, to its neighbor on the other side. The vigorous shoot growing from the high point of that second arch is trained back to the next tier of the arch of the first neighbor

– and so on, as high as desired. The end result is a flat plane of adjacent trees decoratively linked as a living fence.

The fence might be considered functional, but the truly functional aspect of en arcure is physiological. Enhanced vigor of the highest buds can be traced to a plant hormone, auxin. Auxin, present in all plants, is synthesized in the uppermost growing points of a plant: either the tip of a vertical stem or the high point of an arched stem. But this auxin also puts the brakes, to some degree, on growth from buds below that high point.

Growing fruit takes energy, as do growing stems; more fruit means less stem growth, and vice versa. Left to their own devices, plants more or less balance these needs themselves – although not always to our satisfaction, which is why you have to pluck off peach fruitlets so that a peach tree can pump more energy into the fewer and resulting tastier fruits that remain. Bending a branch over quells its growth, coaxing it to divert more energy to making fruit – except for the uppermost bud, which puts out a vigorous shoot.

My plan, then, is to have that long stem of Korean Giant pear festooned with flowers in spring and fruits in autumn as it arches over the stone stairs. Plants don’t read plant physiology books and toe the line to all this theory, but I’m confident in a fruitful, decorative future for my plant, because Asian pears generally are very eager to bear fruit.

Speaking of physiology, I wrote last week about the carotenoids, tannins and anthocyanins that make autumn so warmly colorful, and especially so this year here in the Hudson Valley. A few plants, not commonly planted, are contributing boldly to that warmth.

Japanese stewartia (Stewartia pseudocamellia) earns its keep year-round, with rich red autumn leaf color right now, bark mottled in hues of gray and brown in winter and camellialike flowers in early summer.

Fothergilla (Fothergilla major) also earns its keep for much of the year, with bottlebrush clusters of fragrant white flowers in spring and leaves that turn brilliant shades of yellow, orange and red in autumn.

Korean mountain ash (Sorbus aucuparia) bears flat-topped clusters of white flowers in spring. In autumn, leaves take on a yellow color enriched with some brown and hints of red. Clusters of red fruits also ripen in fall. They’re small, but edible: a nice nibble.

Pawpaw (Asimina triloba) bears large leaves that have lost their summery, tropical look and have turned a clear yellow. The large fruits – also with tropical aspirations – have been ripe for a few weeks, with flavors akin to vanilla custard, banana or crème brûlée. Take your pick.

NIGHT SKY

What you see is what you get Per quantum physics, nothing exists unless observed

D

oes the universe exist outside of our consciousness?

Einstein said he was reluctant to give up on trying to solve this question, and yet he had to. It is an enigma that arises because quantum mechanics keep revealing a universe that is dependent on the observer. That is to say, the presence of the observer influences experimental results.

T h e ramifications are deep, all right.

Starting around the time of Newton, scientists assumed that there is an objective universe out there, that existed before life or consciousness sprang into being, and exists independent of our measurements of it. In short, the basic framework of reality, called “local realism,” is an essentially dumb, random cosmos that is independent of our minds.

But quantum theory insists that such a worldview is wrong, because one’s observations (of, say, entangled photons or particles) produce immediate distant physical effects. The famous Double Slit experiment consistently offers hard evidence of nature and consciousness being correlative: existing interdependently.

In this view, there is nothing outside of consciousness. As the late famed physicist

John Wheeler put it, “No phenomenon is a real phenomenon unless it is an observed phenomenon.”

The easiest doorway into this new perception may be right before our eyes, since all visual images do not occur “out there” in an external reality, but form only in the occipital lobe of the brain.

T h a t ’s w h e r e everything visual is occurring: in the brain. So it’s mind out there in front of us, the only place the “world” and its images and tactile impressions can form and be apprehended. It’s only language and custom that make us think that what we perceive is “out there” in some external realm removed from our beings. Even Newton wrote about this in his short monograph, The Rays Are Not Colored, strongly suggesting that the distinction between internal and external does not exist.

Far out? You bet – especially when contrasted with the mainstream view that consciousness exists only as isolated pockets (within you and me) dependent on individual neural structure. This seems true. When you encounter an unfortunately dead dog on the road, it’s clear that he is no longer aware of you.

The problem is, if consciousness solely arises from biological structure, how does

As the late famed physicist John Wheeler put it, “No phenomenon is a real phenomenon unless it is an observed phenomenon.”

it do so? This simple question has never been answered. Indeed, major studies of consciousness, like Daniel Dennett’s classic Consciousness Explained, ended up admitting that consciousness’s nature is an insuperable mystery, and that the best that science can do is determine which areas of the brain control which function, which is now often characterized as among the “easy issues” of consciousness.

When we try to go deeper, and ask how a sense of “being” or experience or awareness can ever arise from any combination of elements like hydrogen and carbon, this is the “hard problem of consciousness.” And here, science hasn’t

a clue. Adding to the mystery is the socalled “enlightenment experience” of mystics, who proclaim it to revolve around a feeling of certainty that consciousness is deathless and eternal, and unconfined to any individual.

That’s outside mainstream science, sure.

But there’s more than enough science justification for us to admit that it just might be true.

Hasbrouck House in Stone Ridge hosts Open House this Saturday

Billed as a Brooklyn-based Wedding Crasher invitation, the upcoming Open House at Hasbrouck House in Stone Ridge presents a unique opportunity for anyone planning a wedding, or any other sort of large gathering, to tour the newly renovated historic inn.

This Saturday from 2 to 4 p.m., an inside look at the venue will feature a roaring bonfire, warm cider and a chance to see the grounds and meet some of the new regime’s favorite local vendors, including Butterfield, the exclusive food and beverage provider and in-house restaurant. Come check out wellness offerings by Maha Rose, event design and planning team Starling on Bond, lighting and production design firm Stortz Lighting, florist the Green Cottage, vintage rental boutique North Country Vintage Rentals and photographer Story & Gold Weddings.

In addition to being a natural setting for a wedding, Hasbrouck House is also a getaway for bachelor/bachelorette groups and serves as a romantic honeymoon destination year-‘round. I asked general manager James Anthony to talk about the venue as it might serve other organizations and groups. He named community and cultural events held at the inn, like Field + Supply and Phoenicia Flea, and corporate off-sites and retreats for firms such as Whale & Grey and Bentley and Kiehl’s.

As for a minimum number of guests that would have a group meeting qualify as an “event,” Anthony says, “We are only hosting about ten weddings a year.

All other events will either be private corporate events or partnership events as part of hotel programming. It’s not so much about the number of people,

but what kind of experience you want to create. We just released available dates for 2017/18, and expect to book all available dates for 2017 by the end of this year; but anything is possible depending on availability. Our first wedding contract was signed in July and took place in October. That’s fast.”

The 18th-century Dutch Colonial stone mansion features thoughtfully designed suites within the main house, nearby carriage and stable houses. Accomplished

by Akiva Reich & Co., the renovation preserves the historic integrity of the property while providing the modern accommodations and amenities of a boutique hotel. Butterfield at Hasbrouck House is equipped to cater all events: weddings, open-air feasts in the orchard and dinners among friends. With an ever-changing menu that pays homage to Hudson Valley cuisine, the in-house restaurant looks out onto a revitalized 55-foot landmark pool. The property’s 55 acres also include a lake, miles of newly forged trails, access to a 100-acre neighboring orchard and a 4,000 squarefoot bluestone patio.

Come check it out. And RSVP by calling (845) 687-0736 or at www. eventbrite.com/e/say-hello-to-hasbrouckhouse-november-5-open-house-tickets28452025775?aff=erelexpmlt to let the staff know that you’ll be attending.

TASTE

Red Hook & the Chocolate Festival this Saturday

W

hat’s more enticing than an entire village focused on the goodness of chocolate? Red Hook & the Chocolate Festival is set for the third year running to celebrate anything and everything made with that magical cacao bean this Saturday, November 5.

“Our Festival does not have one location; it is dispersed all throughout Red Hook Village,” says Kimberley McGrath of the Red Hook Chamber of Commerce. “We have events happening everywhere; however, our Chocolate Vendor tent – one of the components of the day – is going to be located at the Municipal Parking Lot adjacent to Red Hook Village Hall at 7467 South Broadway.”

From there, visitors can meander around town to check out cooking demos, live music in the streets, a skateboard race, a Chocolate Wars dessert-making competition, the Chocolate Olympics at the Red Hook Public library and a theatrical performance at the Chocolate Factory. A horsedrawn haywagon will take folks to and from the village to the Factory at no charge. And there will be chocolate to taste and swoon over! And purchase, of course, should one’s passion for the stuff need further stoking when the day is done.

“We would love the name of Red Hook to be synonymous with chocolate,” says Chamber president Sean Jones. “As we approach our third Festival celebration, we are well on our way to making this a reality. Ultimately, the Red Hook Chamber of Commerce hopes to attract visitors to not only enjoy chocolate, but to experience the friendly and welcoming atmosphere that embodies our local businesses, organizations and its people.”

How did the Chamber of Commerce land on a chocolate theme to bring folks into the village? It turns out that there was, once upon a time, a chocolate factory in town. Baker Chocolate was established in 1888 by William H. Baker, who made up to 20,000 pounds a day at the height of production. The original building went through many incarnations and was abandoned in the 1980s. Resurrected

by Dr. George Verrilli and made into office and retail space, it currently houses small and unique businesses. Check out one of its newest tenants, Arts at the Chocolate Factory, where theatrics will entertain visitors from 2 to 4 p.m.

The festivities combining village charm, history and the lure of chocolate start at 8:30 a.m. with a Hot Chocolate 5K Run, followed at 11:30 a.m. by an official welcome and tutorial, “How to Taste Chocolate,” led by chocolatier and master pastry chef Dan Budd of Taste Budd’s Café on Market Street. Cooking demos will take place at J & J Gourmet Café, Black Star Social and the Flatiron Restaurant, while the Historic Elmendorph Inn hosts a little chocolate history lesson, and traffic stops at the intersection of Routes 9 and 199 for the Chocolate Bomb Skateboard Race.

While exploring chocolate in all its delicious manifestations, visitors will be serenaded by performers in various spots throughout the village, the lineup including Jan Ross, Lannie Bolde, Anastasia Falcon, Ditto, Steve Beer and Phillip Zemke, James Burke, Mätt Lintzenich, Katie Pierce, Andy Shapiro, David C. Hemingway, Matthew Kobalkin, Mike Ferrell, Lisa Cassidy and Maggie Rothwell.

Check the Festival’s Facebook page for the schedule of events and any additional announcements. And don’t forget to buy a chocolate bar and search for the Golden Ticket. Roald Dahl would approve!

Red Hook & the Chocolate Festival is free and open to all chocoholics. Feed your need!

LAUREN THOMAS | ALMANAC WEEKLY

Nirmala Narine of Nirmala's Kitchen spice shop in Highland

The shop in Highland retains the structure’s original hand-hewn beams, giving it a rustic feel, and it smells deliciously of the spice blends that it contains packaged in those metal tins.

There are one-of-a-kind antiques in the shop from Narine’s travels around the world, and artisanal beauty products created with natural ingredients sourced from local farms, including her own. A resident goat provides milk for handmade soaps that contain lavender grown in the fields there. The cookbook authored by Narine, In Nirmala’s Kitchen: Everyday World Cuisine, and Nirmala’s Edible Diaries, a travel memoir that incorporates global recipes, are also available. Shop hours are currently Saturday through Sunday from 12 noon to 6 p.m.

The property was once the location of a rodeo, and more recently was known as the Wishing Wellness Ranch. Narine has done much of the restoration work on the

ooking with exotic spices can be intimidating. Even experienced cooks might think that the only thing they can make with, for example, a Moroccan tagine spice blend is…well, a Moroccan tagine. But Nirmala Narine says that isn’t so. “You can take that spice blend and put a teaspoon of it in your meatloaf or hamburger. Spice it up, and you get some nutrition from that, as well.”

The comment encompasses the essence of what Narine has made her life’s work about: demystifying the exotic and making the faraway local. It also reveals her passion for Ayurvedic principles that utilize nutrition as holistic medicine.

Narine makes the suggestion while talking about the products in her new spice shop, located in a former tack room on her 15-acre farm in Highland. The new venture bears the same name as her global gourmet food business, Nirmala’s Kitchen, launched 15 years ago. Since then, she has travelled to 167 countries (and counting) to obtain exotic spices, rock salts and grains that allow home cooks in the US to replicate global flavors without leaving the comforts of home.

Now Narine hopes to create a destination in the Hudson Valley where people can obtain her global food products locally and learn how to cook with them. Visitors can get advice from her in the shop, and Narine also offers cooking classes on the farm. Reflecting on the farm-to-table movement in the region, she says that she would like to enhance it. “We grow all this healthy produce here, but how do you heighten the flavor of it? And at the same time, fuse cultures through it?”

Fusing cultures through food has long been the mission of Nirmala’s Kitchen, she says. “But I’m not reinventing anything or suggesting people need to learn long, complicated cooking processes. Spices just really take simple food up to another height. Juniper berries heighten the flavor of vegetables. And if you take allspice berries and put them in corned beef to marinate, it’s heavenly. That’s the whole concept of Nirmala’s Kitchen, and that’s what people will get if they come to my shop or these classes.”

Changing our mindset about how to use spices can mean taking something like cinnamon – usually associated with baking – and adding a few teaspoons of it to some agave or honey and virgin olive oil.

“Brush that mixture over fresh salmon,” Narine says, “and bake it. It comes out beautifully caramelized, and it has health benefits.”

Spices influence our health in a positive way, Narine says. “They’re not just for flavor. They have medicinal properties.

Turmeric brings out the beta carotene in butternut squash and carrots, and cinnamon has an effect on diabetes.” In fact, she adds, “It’s important to treat your spices like vitamins. We sell ours in tins because it preserves the volatile oils longer.”

She learned about the traditional Hindu system of Ayurvedic holistic medicine â&#x20AC;&#x201C; based on the idea of balance in the body and utilizing dietary principles â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from her grandfather, an Ayurvedic scholar. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Villagers from all corners of the country would come to see him; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be blind or handicapped, and I would make a poultice or spice mixture for them under my grandfatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guidance.

When she was 11, the family immigrated to New York City, where they lived in Queens.

Narine says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He has the scars still. He sponsored my grandmother, who still lives in Far Rockaway, and she sponsored my dad and mom and me and my three brothers.â&#x20AC;?

Narine may not have experienced television until coming to the US, but she has cooked alongside Martha Stewart on TV many times now, and she became the host of her own TV series, Nirmalaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Spice World, in 2013, airing internationally since then on the ZLiving network, dubbed into five languages around the world.

entirely different arena from her cookbook and travel memoir. Ellishiva Cinnamon and the Sixth Element is a novel for the Young Adult reader: a fantasy tale with a resourceful young female heroine.

Narine has a soft spot for children living in poverty, establishing the nonprofit Nirmala’s Global Village to rescue Third World children who were sold into sexual slavery by teaching them a trade such as farming.

“We send them to school and give them an education; teach them a trade so they don’t just make tourist stuff. We believe they should be able to one day learn to cultivate the land or start their own business, so they can feed their village or the world.”

She moved to the Hudson Valley eight

years ago. “I guess I moved here because of my childhood, and who I am,” she says.

“We grew up on a farm, but food for us was always about survival. And the thing is, I was importing so many things from around the world from small farmers, I thought, ‘Why not grow things here?’”

Narine has gotten to know the local farmers in the area, and says that the conversations she has with them are the same conversations that she has with village farmers in Sumatra. “For me, it’s not a big difference. I’m at a farm in another country; I come home to a farm.

And I love offering the local community these different things. They don’t have to travel or go into the City for these things;

they can come right here. And I can teach them how to cook.”

Ultimately, Narine says, “Everything I do, including the spice shop, is a reflection of me. I don’t think I’ve ever tried to be somebody else. I know my Ayurvedic background with spices and I know what they can do for your body, so I pass that along. In my travels around the world, I’ve seen how other people cook in their kitchens, and the ingredients they use,

and I pass that along. I don’t water it down; I try to make it as authentic and real as possible, so you can experience it. I give little pieces of myself no matter what I do.” She laughs. “Why not?”

Magicians of fiber “Exploring the Tarot” hand -hooked rugs exhibit opens on Saturday at Athens Cultural Center

T

he Athens Cultural Center is hosting a threeweek-long exhibition that opens this weekend during regular gallery hours. “Exploring the Tarot” is a collection of 23 hand-hooked rugs, created by fiber artists hailing from Nova Scotia to Georgia. In a deck of tarot cards, the Major Arcana consist of 22 representations: the Magician, the High Priestess, the Empress, the Emperor, the Hierophant, the Lovers, the Chariot, Strength, the Hermit, Wheel of Fortune, Justice, the Hanged Man, Death, Temperance, the Devil, the Tower, the Star, the Moon, the Sun, Judgment, the World, and the Fool. These images are often rendered in a particular style or theme.

In this show, the cards are interpreted in hooked wool. Each hooked rug has been designed and completed as an original work of art. The 23rd rug in the show represents the design on the back of the cards in the deck. Each individual artist chose one of the cards and created his or her own drawing for the approximate 24-by-42-inch rug, most hand-dyeing their own wool as well. The project was almost two years in the making and was shown at a gallery in Vermont before being transferred to Athens.

The idea for turning the tarot into fiber art pieces was conceived by two local McGown-certified traditional rug-hooking teachers, Loretta Scena and Michele Micarelli. Both multi-talented fiber and bead artists, Scena and Micarelli invited Diane Phillips of Fairport, Mariah Krauss of New Gloucester, Maine, Wanda Kerr of Wiarton, Ontario, Elissa Crouch of Cambridge, Maryland, Stepanie Allen-Krauss of Montpelier, Vermont, Liz Marino of Diane Phillips' The Fool South Egremont, Massachusetts, Lynne Fowler of Onancock, Virginia, Jennifer O’Rourke Lavoie of Huntington, Vermont, Liz Alpert Fay of Sandy Hook, Connecticut, Rae Harrell of Hinesburg, Vermont, Lisa Chaloner of Merrimack, New Hampshire, Kathleen Herbert of North Grosvenordale, Connecticut, Doug Rankin of Halifax, Nova Scotia, Jule Marie Smith of Ballston Spa, Emily K. Robertson of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Cyndy Duade of New London, New Hampshire, Celeste Bessette of Littleton, New Hampshire, Mary Doig of Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia, Linda Rae Coughlin of Warren, New Jersey, Devin Ryder of Somerville, Massachusetts and Pris Buttler of Gainesville, Georgia to join them in producing the works.

Like many esoteric fiber-art forms, rug-hooking attracts serious creatives, some of whom have become a community that meets up for weekend retreats and follows the works of particular artists. The method involves pulling continuous loops of wool fabric, which is cut into strips, through a backing usually made of linen or cotton. Alternate materials and techniques are sometimes employed.

An award-winning teacher, Micarelli spreads her knowledge through engaging classes. She is known among rug-hookers as an expert colorist and troubleshooter. She’ll conduct a one-day workshop on Saturday, November 5 from 12 noon to 5 p.m.

Participants may bring in a new creation to work on or something that you’ve started and need some help with, but this class is not for the beginner. Some basic knowledge and experience are necessary. And bring your credit card: You may be tempted by new patterns and wool that will be for sale. Free coffee and donuts are on the afternoon’s agenda. The workshop costs $40, and space is limited; preregister by e-mail at info@athensculturalcenter.org or phone (518) 945-2136.

That same evening from 6 to 8 p.m., a wine-and-cheese reception will celebrate the exhibit, and tarot card-reader Maria Curtis will be on hand to do readings. “Exploring the Tarot” will be exhibited from October 29 through November 20; regular gallery hours at the Athens Cultural Center are from 1 to 4 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays.

DEAR BUSINESSMAN/WOMAN- We at Hardscrabble Flea Market & Swap Meet would like to congratulate you on being picked from over 100 businesses in your field. We believe we can help each otherWe have a swap meet every Sunday, 8 a.m.-4 p.m. at Holy Cow Shopping Center, in addition to a flea market/garage sale. We find that when business people set up a table w/ business cards & flyers or “show how to do” projects it will definitely increase your business (and mine). It’s a great way to introduce your business to new/old customers.

And, if you have leftover merchandise you’d like to sell- this would be a perfect way to unload it. Please give John a call for more details- (845)758-1170. Spots are $12-$35.

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, 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 of 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 three consecutive days. After 3 days, the request will be granted. This prayer must be published after the favor is granted.
