Book talk on Westchester’s black Civil War soldiers this Sunday in Hyde Park Beginning in the 1790s, the rugged countryside in what is today the Silver Lake Preserve, straddling the borders of the towns of Harrison, North Castle and White Plains, was settled by freed slaves. By the 1860s, the area known

as the Hills had become Westchester County’s largest African American community. In her book Freedom Journey: Black Civil War Soldiers and the Hills Community, Westchester County, New York, Hartwick College History professor Edythe Ann Quinn shares the stories of 36 African American Civil War soldiers from the Hills through detailed letters, recruit rosters and pension records. All but one of them served in three US Colored Troop (USCT) regiments: the 29th

Connecticut Infantry, the 14th Rhode Island Heavy Artillery (11th USCT) and the 20 th USCT. The 36th Hills man served in the Navy.

For these soldiers, ties to family, land, church, school and occupational experiences at home buffered the brutal indifference of boredom and battle, the ravages of illness, the deprivations of unequal pay and the hostility of some commissioned officers and white troops.

At the same time, their service among kith and kin bolstered their determination and pride. They marched together, first as raw recruits and finally as seasoned veterans, welcomed home by generals, politicians and above all, their families and friends.

Former CBS newsman Bill Nieves talks on Latin American conflicts of the ’80s People who cherish shiny memories of the 1980s must have blocked out a lot of the disturbing news of the day, when arms-for-hostages swaps with dictators were being arranged out of the Reagan White House basement and Central America was awash in blood. The US was providing war materiel, training and intelligence to the Salvadoran government’s notorious death squads and to the Contras who were trying to overturn Nicaragua’s Sandinista regime. Massive protest marches on Washington, DC seemed no less frequent in the ’80s than they had been during the Vietnam War years.

During that time, Rhinebeck resident Bill Nieves was a producer for CBS News, and his beat was Central America. During his stint in the area, he covered the bloody conflicts in El Salvador and Nicaragua.

Nieves and his crew gained unprecedented access to a secret guerrilla training camp on the Costa Rica/Nicaragua border. He covered the devastating earthquake and military coup in Guatemala, as well as the lightning-fast US invasion of Grenada.

His exceptional work got him nominated for a national Emmy.

On Tuesday, November 17 at 7 p.m., Judith Garten will interview Bill Nieves in a program at Rhinebeck’s Starr Library titled “Witness to History: Latin America in the Turbulent 1980s.” Admission is

Book talk on Foxhollow Farm in Rhinecliff Tracy Dows was a native New Yorker who settled in Dutchess County to build an estate known as Foxhollow Farm, 700 acres and listed by Country Homes magazine as one of the 12 great places in America in 1916. There he worked with existing structures and a fabulous view to shift the sense of style away from the grandiose mansions of the Gilded Age into a neo-Colonial aesthetic that Dows would eventually take to his ownership and expansion of the Beekman Arms, among a number of local involvements.

This Friday evening, the busy little Morton Library in Rhinecliff will be offering a preview look at a new book on Dows, his family and estate when David Byars, the editorial production director of Vogue and board member of Hudson River Heritage, presents Our Time at Foxhollow Farm, a pictorial chronicling of the Dows family’s residence from 1907 to 1930.

Learn about Cuba at Vassar Brothers Institute’s Travel & Adventure series

E

ach year, just as wintry weather starts to keep us more housebound and our fantasies about journeys to exotic locales become more compelling, the Vassar Brothers Institute offers a highly affordable diversion for the armchair traveler: its Travel & Adventure Programs. On Wednesday evenings between November and March, seasoned travelers and scholars come to the Poughkeepsie High School Auditorium to present lectures and slideshows about fascinating parts of the world.

The 2015/16 travelogue series kicked last week with Gray Warriner’s “Rediscovering Ancient America,” covering such archaeological wonders as the Hopewell Culture’s geometric earthworks in Ohio. Iowa’s Effigy Mounds and traces of the magnificent cities of the Mississippians from 1,000 years ago. If you missed that one, you can still jump right in this week with John Holod’s intimate look at Cuba under the Castro regime.

The largest and most diverse island in the Caribbean has long been a place that most of us could only dream about visiting.

Holod is among those lucky enough actually to have traveled there, and his program will take the audience along on his personal journey through Cuba, focusing on the towns, countryside and everyday life of the island’s people. Now that travel restrictions are finally being loosened, this sounds like a great first step toward planning your own trip.

“Cuba” with John Holod begins at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, November 18 at the Poughkeepsie High School Auditorium, located at 70 Forbus Street in Poughkeepsie. Upcoming programs in the Travel & Adventure series will include “China Rising” with Dale Johnson on December 2, “The Art of Photography” with Paolo Nigris on December 9, “Native Roots” with Evan Pritchard on December 16, “Chasing Rainbows” with Stan Walsh on February 24, “Along the Royal Inca Road” with Karin Muller on March 2 and “The Lure and Lore of Deserts” with Sandy Mortimer on March 16.

Admission to each travelogue presentation costs $7 at the door, but you can get in free to the entire series – plus an April 1 screening of Casablanca at the Bardavon and a spring musical at a local high school yet to be determined – by becoming a Vassar Brothers Institute member for one year for $35. Send your check to Vassar Brothers Institute, PO Box 3342, Poughkeepsie, NY 12603.

STAGE Masters remastered SUNY-Ulster stages Spoon River Anthology

RICHARD CATTABIANI

Cast in rehearsal for Spoon River Anthology, to be performed November 19-22 at SUNY-Ulster. The cast includes members of the faculty, staff and administration (including Alan P. Roberts, the college’s new president) as well as students. This production is a fundraiser for SUNY-Ulster’s Academic Travel program.

E

dgar Lee Masters based his epic collection of poems, Spoon River Anthology, upon the lives of real people he knew, heard about or represented in his legal practice as a public defender. Many of Masters’ characters bore a striking resemblance to his former townspeople in Lewistown and Petersburg, Illinois, and when the collection was published in 1915, it created enormous community unrest and embarrassment.

In 1963, actor and playwright Charles Aidman chose 75 of Masters’ original Spoon River Anthology epitaphs and conceived and directed them, accompanied by musical interludes.

The New York Times described this Broadway production as “a glowing

theater experience‌A brooding and loving American folk poem brought to life on a stageâ€? and the New York Post called it “an evening of astonishingly stirring emotional satisfaction.â€?

Now celebrating its 100th anniversary, Spoon River Anthology will open at SUNYUlster’s Quimby Theater on Thursday, November 19. The play is directed by Richard Cattabiani, adjunct professor in the English Department under the Dean of Faculty Office at SUNY-Ulster. “Masters became persona non grata.

People said, ‘You can’t say that! That’s my mother you’re talking about!’ and he left town and lived in Chicago. The truth can be brutal, and it really shattered the myth of the moral superiority of rural America,� says Cattabiani. “The irony is

that Masters published 50 volumes of poetry and fiction, and this is the only one he’s remembered for.�

There’s another irony here that cannot be escaped: Though Spoon River Anthology was banned from Spoon River area schools and libraries until 1974, here at SUNY-Ulster, the stage production is creating a bond among many new members of the college community. The cast boasts 25 members of the faculty, staff and administration (including the college’s new president Alan P. Roberts) as well more than 20 students. “There are 75 characters, 93 costume

changes, 121 light cues, 54 music cues – and all of it comes together and we’re having a wonderful time. The parts each person plays are like beads on a string or a necklace, strung together with musical interludes,� says Cattabiani, who massaged the play a bit to suit the talents of the school community of actors and musicians. “ A i d m a n s u g g e s t e d music, and we’ve tripled it in our production, using a wide selection of traditional folksongs, Americana and classical music.� “I am humbled by the quality of the musicianship we are presenting here, from classical repertoire to Woody Guthrie,� says

“We have found the humor in just about every character, and I challenge you to say the things that are traditionally ascribed to this play after you see it.�

Cattabiani. “Anastasia Sohlberg [Director of SUNY-Ulster’s String Ensemble] has an international reputation. Listening to her play violin or fiddle…it’s the same instrument, just a different attitude, from a Bach suite to ‘Jimmy Crack Corn.’ Her range and versatility never cease to amaze me.” Iain Machell, chair of the Art, Design, Music, Theater and Communications Department, and student David Kahen round out a trio of talented multiinstrumentalists who play banjo, dobro, harmonica, guitar, violin, viola and bodhran, offering deeper cultural context to spoken-word performances.

This production of Spoon River Anthology is a fundraiser for SUNYUlster’s Academic Travel program, an umbrella for both domestic and international student travel programs.

As a younger man, Cattabiani received a Fulbright Scholarship, and the experience

showed him that Americans are often very insular. Following completion of his scholarship, he and his young family lived in Europe for some time while he taught and lectured in England, Scotland and Germany. Cattabiani also taught at New Paltz High School for more than 30 years before beginning his career at SUNYUlster. After a few years at SUNY-Ulster, he approached former President Donald Katt about initiating the International Programs to bring the college into global citizenship.

“This past July, ten years later, I retired from my position as Director of International Programs, and it’s thriving.

Since the average age of our college students is 28 or 29, most of them are gainfully employed or are parents. They can’t go abroad for a semester, and our two-week short-term study-abroad programs work well. I think we have

an ethical obligation to try to provide the wherewithal for people to go to the Amazon to study Neotropical Biology or to take a sketchbook tour of Italy and visit all the museums theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve only read about, or to attend the Humana Festival of New American Plays in Louisville, Kentucky in the spring. If students are only $200 or $300 short of the experience of a lifetime, by working together, we can make sure they have the opportunity to continue their education. I think there is no nobler cause,â&#x20AC;? he says.

Cattabiani says that the restructuring that occurred following Kattâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s retirement provided a â&#x20AC;&#x153;perfect opportunity to build a community again with a new President, a new Dean and new faculty. We have 25 faculty members, from almost all departments, involved in this production.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something that has never happened at this school, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my proudest moment.â&#x20AC;?

Spoon River Anthology is often described as a rather bleak, somber and even regretful collection of 274 poems about small-town life. After all, it is a series of posthumously delivered epitaphs that reveal the dramas and secrets that the townspeople of this rural community have carried with them to their graves.

But Cattabiani has another take on it: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s authentic. We have found the humor in just about every character, and I challenge you to say the things that are traditionally ascribed to this play after you see it.â&#x20AC;?

Reliance upon the Seven Deadly Sins â&#x20AC;&#x201C; pride, envy, gluttony, lust, anger, greed and sloth â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for subject matter has ensured that Mastersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 1915 work of art has remained vital and true to the human condition.

And by â&#x20AC;&#x153;breaking the rulesâ&#x20AC;? about poetry, Masters helped create the free-form verse, a format championed by other masters like Carl Sandburg, Vachel Lindsay and even Bob Dylan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I was a young musician listening to Bob Dylan,â&#x20AC;? says Cattabiani, who is also an accomplished songwriter and keyboardist, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oh, I can do that. You just have to have a decent idea, a good simile or metaphor, and three chords.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Spoon River Anthology is durable in the same way: It shows us how to tell an authentic story without getting bogged down in the rules. Americans, generally speaking, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like rules. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Joining together for this common goal of presenting Spoon River Anthology has

Curated by A & W member and veteran Unison performer Mikhail Horowitz, this production left them laughing at Woodstockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Maverick Hall in July, with works by Horowitz, Carol Zaloom and company members Katherine Burger, Mary Gallagher, Adam LeFevre, Nicole Quinn, Laura Shaine, Nina Shengold, David Smilow and Mark St. Germain.

Some of the scenarios that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll encounter will be the ordeal of four guys in a bar who are sincerely trying not to talk about sports; a mother and two daughters discovering a few family secrets while eulogizing a dead parrot; and a doomed (duh!) production of Macbeth.

been worthy of our effort. I wouldn’t do a production like this if it wasn’t going to be fun, and I’ve loved every minute. When people started studying their parts, some of them were only 16 lines long, and they were surprised that all those emotions could be conveyed. When you read a book or anthology, it takes on a whole new life as a film or a play. There’s a magical transformation when people get together like this. It will be a satisfying experience.”

Or, to paraphrase the epitaph by “Fiddler Jones” in Spoon River Anthology, the audience – and the cast – may expect to “end up with a thousand memories and not a single regret.”

DANCE

Boarding-school setting of Julius Caesar opens this Thursday at SUNY-New Paltz

On your toes Kaatsbaan celebrates 25 th anniversary with star-studded gala this Saturday in Tivoli

M

arking 25 years of dedication to realizing any sort of endeavor calls for a celebration, especially when those years involve the hard work of persisting against all setbacks and believing in the ultimate worthiness of a dream. At the Kaatsbaan International Dance Center in Tivoli, the goal has been to build and maintain a professional creative residence and performance facility for dance, and the founders – Bentley Roton, Martine van Hamel, Kevin McKenzie and Gregory Cary – have successfully brought this to fruition. On its beautiful 153-acre campus in Tivoli (once the barns of Eleanor Roosevelt’s grandmother), Kaatsbaan serves dance companies, choreographers and dance artists with space where they can create and showcase new work, rehearse, develop productions and perform for the public.

Festivities this Saturday will be presented by Kevin McKenzie, Kaatsbaan co-founder and artistic director of the American Ballet Theatre (ABT), who is co-hosting the evening with actress and director Mary Stuart Masterson (left) – you’ll recognize her from the films Some Kind of Wonderful, Fried Green Tomatoes and Benny & Joon.

Winner of the National Board of Review Award for Best Supporting Actress, and nominee for the Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Musical for the Broadway revival of Nine, Masterson is connected to Kaatsbaan in a more maternal manner: Her offspring have enjoyed dance education here, so like any good Mom, she’s supporting the organization by speaking about the importance of connecting students with professionals in the artform.

A stellar lineup of performers will be featured at the Gala, including Stella Abrera and Sterling Baca performing the “White Swan Pas de Deux,” and Gillian Murphy and Thomas Forster the “Black Swan Pas de Deux,” both from Tchaikovsky’s classic Swan Lake. The ABT Studio Company will present the world premiere of a new dance piece choreographed by George Williamson.

Others from the world of dance will be represented as well, with Teresa Reichlen and Ask La Cour of the New York City Ballet performing Balanchine’s Agon, and the Martha Graham Dance Company’s Miki Orihara doing Graham’s 1932 solo Satyric Festival Song. And during the event, Kaatsbaan will honor philanthropist and chairman emeritus Vincent Clephas with the prestigious Kaatsbaan “Playing Field Award,” acknowledging Clephas for his exceptional guidance of the Board of Trustees over the last ten years and for his devoted and enthusiastic patronage.

A world-class museum of dance and retirement housing for elderly dancers are still in the dream phase, explains Kaatsbaan co-founder Gregory Cary. “We’re celebrating what we’ve done for the last 25 years in becoming the most extensive dance presenters in the upstate region. In Phase Two, we’re fundraising for two new studios, another dancers’ inn and another indoor/outdoor dance theater that will extend our summer programming.” One more goal at Kaatsbaan is the creation of permanent residences for elderly dancers. “A lot of dancers who have very good professional careers never have the opportunity to save money for retirement,” says Cary. “They have much to contribute to new generations of dancers, because there is nothing like having personal instruction. You don’t learn the intent of the choreographer or the actual dynamics of doing those movements from video.”

The Grande Champagne Reception begins at 4 p.m. with music by Duo Orfeo.

The Gala Performance follows at 5:30, and then it’s dinner at 7 prepared by Murray’s of Tivoli, dessert, a silent auction including a 2015/16 Season Pass and a backstage tour at the Metropolitan Opera House, and after-dinner dancing with chanteuse Aurelia Williams till the late hours.

How to make the most familiar Shakespeare plays seem fresh and relatable is a challenge that faces every director who takes one on, and nowhere is that challenge more daunting than with those of the Bard’s fustier tragedies and histories that are unleavened by comedic characters like Falstaff. “Why Julius Caesar? Why now?” is the title of a panel discussion that will precede the November 20 performance of The Tragedy of Julius Caesar at SUNY-New Paltz, and it’s a good question.

Ask 100 Americans what’s their favorite Shakespeare work, and I highly doubt that you’ll find five who will answer “Julius

Caesar.” If we were rewriting Dante’s Inferno, it’s tough to imagine that we’d pick Brutus and Cassius to be two of the Most Evil People Ever to be chewed on

by Satan’s three heads at the center of the Ninth Circle of Hell, either. We just don’t relate to the Divine Right of Kings the same way the Elizabethans did; culturally and historically we have a soft spot for rebels, and a lot of us still have our old Question Authority buttons stashed in a drawer somewhere.

So a modern staging of Julius Caesar calls for a radical rethinking, if it’s not to be a crashing bore in spite of the lofty language. How to make it feel pertinent to the world of contemporary college students? Lauren Bone Noble, adjunct lecturer in the Department of Theatre Arts at SUNY-New Paltz, has found an interesting, if risky, angle of attack: violence, as manifested in the context of an elite girls’ boarding school where envy and resentment of the popular student council president/homecoming queen eventually turns to murder.

Bullying, with sometimes-fatal outcomes, is certainly an issue that troubles today’s headlines and piques public debate on how it is best addressed.

“Violence didn’t happen ‘long ago’ or ‘over there.’ It is here. It is now. It is us,” says Bone Noble. “By eliminating the safe distance of history and putting the weapons in the hands of young people, we examine our own complicity in the violent world in which we live.”

Shakespeare purists need not panic: The original language will be retained in this production; only the setting and the gender of the characters will be changed.

Julius Caesar will run at the McKenna Theatre on campus from November 12 to 15 and 19 to 22. Sunday matinées begin at 2 p.m.; curtain time for Thursday through Saturday performances is 8 p.m.

Tickets cost $18 general admission; $16 for seniors age 62 and up, New Paltz faculty and staff and non-New Paltz students; and $10 for SUNY-New Paltz students. The aforementioned pre-show panel, hosted by the English Department and moderated by associate professor Tom Olsen, begins at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, November 20, and admission is free.

The McKenna Theatre box office is open Monday through Friday from 11:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Tickets can also be purchased online at www.newpaltz.edu/theatre. For additional information call (845) 2573880.

Quimby Theater The 100th Anniversary of Spoon River Anthology Edgar Lee Masters’ Spoon River Anthology was an immediate commercial success when it was published in 1915. Unconventional in both style and content, it shattered the myth of the moral superiority of small town American life. Masters raised the dead “sleeping on the hill” in their village cemetery. The freshness of this masterpiece remains a landmark of American literature. This production will feature students, faculty, administration and staff. Directed by Richard Cattabiani.

activities, snacks, music and discounts on a particular Friday of each month.

But only one downtown so far has hit on the idea of adding live comedy shows to its Fourth Friday offerings: Rosendale. That recently launched series has proven such a popular draw that its venue, the Rosendale Theatre, has decided to expand it to two Friday evenings a month starting in November, to see if the fledgling can fly on its own.

The success of the venture should come as no surprise when one considers the paucity of venues for live comedy in our region. So Rosendale is stepping up to the plate, ready to assume the mantle of Comedy Town as well as the self-proclaimed Festival Town. Reports from the field say that standup comics love the venue for its intimate size, and appreciate not having to shout to be heard over the buzz of conversation or the clash of dinnerware or contend with abuse from drunken hecklers. Plus, the Rosendale Theatre just installed a sturdy and blessedly level new stage, ready for plenty of rowdy stomping and ranting.

The Rosendale Theatre second-Friday Comedy Showcase will feature up-andcoming comics, some local and some on the road. This Friday, November 13, the lineup will feature Shannon Cooke (winner of Levity Live and owner of Laugh It Up Comedy Club at Mahoney’s Irish Pub in Poughkeepsie), Mo Haskins (who opened for Myq Kaplan and Nikki

Performing Arts of Woodstock’s Another Antigone “Professor Harper wants Judy to write a term paper on Sophocles’ Antigone. Judy would rather star in her own up-to-date version of the old play.

Poor Sophocles. Poor Professor Harper.” So reads the thumbnail description of Performing Arts of Woodstock’s new production of prolific playwright A. R. Gurney’s 1987 dramedy Another Antigone, in which classical themes of human hubris and stubborn adherence to law untempered by mercy are reimagined in a 1980s campus setting.

Robert McBroom directs; the cast includes Tesa Flores, Alan Lipper, Anna Remet and Matthew Santiago.

The show opens this Friday, November 13 and runs through November 29 at the newly renovated Mescal Hornbeck Community Center at 56 Rock City Road in Woodstock. Performances begin at 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and 1:30 p.m. on Sundays.

by Darrah Cloud. The playwright/ screenwriter is on the faculty at Goddard College and also co-manages HMT’s inresidence play development group, the Half Moon Writers. The Pine Plains resident revisits the Midwest of her childhood in The Amateur Jesus, which was inspired by the first original American Passion Play to be performed on American soil, founded by her great-grandfather, Delmar Dwayne Darrah, in 1924 and still performed annually. “I got to see it when I was in college, and afterwards, Judas invited us to his house for casseroles and lime Jell-O mold,” recalls the author.

“These Poets Frighten Me” Anne Waldman, Ed Sanders, Michael Brownstein & Peter Lamborn Wilson to read at the Kleinert in Woodstock

Photo of Ed Sanders by Dion Ogust and Anne Waldman by Greg Fuchs

Asking people what scares them most is a popular activity on social media around Halloween-time. Spiders and clowns seem to top most lists, but I’ve yet to see one that mentions poets.

Maybe we ought to start rethinking that. After all, the “Four Poets at the Kleinert/James,” as the event scheduled at the Woodstock arts venue for Friday the 13th is subtitled, include a celebrated biographer of the Manson Family (Ed Sanders) and the anarchist author of a book titled Opium Dens I Have Known (Peter Lamborn Wilson). Another, Michael Brownstein, has written a booklength poem about corporate globalization and consciousness change titled World on Fire. The fourth, Anne Waldman, is one of those über-scary feminist intellectuals who advocate socially disruptive practices like civil disobedience. She’s also one of

America’s preeminent living poets, cofounder with Allen Ginsberg of the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics at the Naropa Institute.

Besides being associated with the generation of poets known as the New York School who carried on the tradition of the Beats whilst busting great gaping holes in its male-chauvinist veneer, the four who will be reading at the Kleinert next week all have CVs loaded with political activism, especially with regard to environmental threats. That’s not to mention interests in dodgy Eastern mystical traditions like Zen Buddhism, illegal psychoactive substances and unconventional forms and uses of poetry.

Woodstockers should clearly be trembling in their boots at their impending arrival.

No wonder the actual title of the event is “These Poets Frighten Me.” – Vladimir V. Putin.

As if that weren’t enough to put us on our guard, the wicked satirist Mikhail Horowitz will be emceeing the evening’s proceedings. And admission is free, presumably to lure the penniless and the unwary into this den of iniquity. Are you terrified yet?

Prove your mettle and come out to meet these monsters of the metrical, these versifying subversives. The readings get underway at 7 p.m. Friday, November 13 at the Kleinert/James Center for the Arts, located at 36 Tinker Street in Woodstock.

“Myths and Legends of the Hudson Valley” opens this Saturday at Beacon’s Matteawan Gallery

Down in Beacon, the lovely Matteawan Gallery is opening up a new exhibit, “Myths and Legends of the Hudson Valley,” with a reception this Saturday, November 14, with artists Deborah Brown, Deborah Davidovits, Scott Daniel Ellison, Valerie Hegarty, Jackie Mock and Wendy Small, plus a gallery talk with Hudson Valley storyteller Jonathan Kruk on November 29. The works – paintings, photos and sculpture – evoke our surroundings, past and present, with a narrative edge that pulls out the epochal, the mythic, the eternal. Think ghost ships, wandering Leathermen, old rituals whose meanings are now lost. It’s a perfect autumn show.

n Saturday, November 14, in a curious alignment of the stars, the ninth annual Swinging Moments Cabaret will be held at BSP in Kingston on the same evening as BSPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s monthly Uptown Swing night, this month featuring Washington, DC swing revivalists the Bumper Jacksons. These are separately ticketed shows in different rooms (Bumper Jacksons in the front-room club at BSP, the Swinging Moments Cabaret in the huge backroom theater). However, recognizing the unlikely synergy, BSPÂ has arranged a discounted admission ($5 instead of $10) to the Bumper Jacksons show for Swinging Moments Cabaret ticketholders.

The Swinging Moments Cabaret is an evening of music, dance, food and drink featuring world-famous Lindy Hop dancers Nathan Bugh and Gaby Cook, New York City-based vocalist Rhonda Denet and Dan Shautâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 12-piece Big Band. A new addition is Andreaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Piano Bar, which includes singers Erin Bradley, Andrew Hoben, Olivia Hoben, Bradford Rauch and Libby Sokolowski.

Bardavon presents Soweto Gospel Choir this Friday

Known for a distinctive and perioddefining blend of ska, reggae, punk, surf-rock and hip-hop, Sublime arose out of Long Beach, California to dominate the modern rock airwaves for years with a scant few singles. Lead singer Bradley Nowell passed away in 1996, shortly after the band’s megaplatinum major-label debut.

In 2010, founding member Eric Wilson joined forces with musician and singer Rome Ramirez to form Sublime with Rome. They brought Sublime’s material

dignified and deeply enriching.”

The 30-plus-member choir formed in 2002 and released its full-length debut, Voices from Heaven, in 2005. Its fifth and most recent release, 2010’s Grace, followed the death of founder member David Mulovhedzi and guitarist Joshua Mcineka. It expands the range of the group’s repertoire and includes a stirring reinterpretation of “Bridge over Troubled Water.”

Yours Truly yielded the hit singles “Panic” (which climbed to No. 4 on Billboard’s Alternative Songs chart), “Lovers Rock” and “Take It or Leave It”: music reminiscent of the ska-punk glory days when bands like Fishbone, No Doubt, Reel Big Fish and the Mighty Mighty Bosstones ruled the airwaves.

MUSIC

Darol Anger fronts Mr. Sun at Helsinki Hudson with Tony Trischka

L Eric Andersen’s 50-year career either leads or doggedly tails the archetypal stylistic journey of the American singer/songwriter in the rock era. Andersen’s earliest efforts are textbook

ed by legendary fiddler Darol Anger, a founding member of both the David Grisman Quintet and the classical/ bluegrass fusion outfit the Turtle Island String Quartet, Mr. Sun embodies the whole arc of bluegrass history, from Bill Monroe to the progressive newgrass of the present. For this Club Helsinki appearance, the quartet will be augmented by special guest banjoist Tony Trischka, who is also Anger’s bandmate in Psychograss. The group is filled out by mandolinist Joe K. Walsh, known for his award-winning stint with the Gibson Brothers and for combining jazz and bluegrass in novel ways; bassist Ethan Jodziewicz, a protégé of legendary bluegrass/classical fusion virtuoso Edgar Meyer; and guitarist Grant Gordy, like Anger a former member of the fabled David Grisman Quintet.

Mr. Sun performs at Club Helsinki in Hudson on Thursday, November 19 at 8 p.m. General admission tickets cost $20 in advance, $25 on the day of the show. Club Helsinki is located at 405 Columbia Street in Hudson. For more information, visit www.helsinkihudson.com.

late-Greenwich Village folk. Before the ’60s expired, Andersen had made the logical (and typical) move toward non-establishment country – not a calculated commercial strategy by any means, but a rite of passage for any serious songwriter who would sail all the main streams of American song.

In 1972, this bellwether solo act was right there at the dawn of the singer/ songwriter production-pop era with the Norman Putnam-produced career-highlight Blue River.

In the maintenance phase of his storied career, Andersen has released the occasional (and unwaveringly solid) new collection alongside numerous strippeddown live reinterpretations of his huge

catalogue. And, of course, the man whose first folkie record was 1965’s Today Is the Highway tours the living hell out of his “Thirsty Boots.”

An American music legend and a former Woodstock resident, Eric Andersen comes close to coming home with a show at Unison in New Paltz on Friday, November 13 at 8 p.m. Advance tickets cost $20 for Unison members, $22 for non-members.

At the door, tickets cost $24 for members, $26 for non-members. Visit www. unisonarts.org or call (845) 255-1559 for more information/tickets. The Unison Arts & Learning Center is located at 68 Mountain Rest Road in New Paltz.

Mary Gauthier

MUSIC

MARY GAUTHIER AT ROSENDALE CAFÉ

“J

agged edges, broken parts,” begins Mary Gauthier’s song “False from True.” The line introduces a quietly brutal story of estrangement and loss on a remarkable album of same (2014’s Trouble & Love), but it might as well serve as the writer’s declaration of artistic purpose and the quarry of subjects that has sustained her career across ten consistent releases: damaged, lost and suffering people treated with surgically fine candor and with unforced compassion. Gauthier’s gift for telling detail, personal narrative and universal truth is so profound, it pardons her comparatively pedestrian resources and tendencies as a melody-writer – if you lean in close to attend the words and the artless, bruised drawl of her singing.

If you are waiting to be grabbed by a roots hook in the way that you might by such similar artists as Lucinda Williams, Robbie Fulks or Jolie Holland, you might be looking at your watch after a few tracks; but if you thrive off cliché-free, poetic Americana narrative aimed unwaveringly at your hard-to-win heart, Mary Gauthier is your huckleberry.

Gauthier returns to the Rosendale Café – at which she is something of a fixture and a favorite – on Saturday, November 14 at 8 p.m. Admission cost $25. The Rosendale Café is located at 434 Main Street in Rosendale. For more information, call (845) 658-9048 or visit http://rosendalecafe.com.

Woodstock’s Kleinert hosts Haitian folkloric performers Kandelab this Saturday The eminent Haitian singer/songcollector Georges Vilson and the Haitian People’s Support Project presents Kandelab, an evening of Haitian folk/ vodoo singing, drumming, dancing and storytelling at the Kleinert/James Art Center in Woodstock on Saturday, November 14 at 7 p.m. The name of Vilson’s troupe of nine performers describes a fast-growing cactus that is used in Haiti to provide protection for homes. For Vilson, kandelab symbolizes his own commitment to the preservation of Haiti’s rich folk traditions.

Kandelab is choreographed by Sheila Anozier, who also performs in the ensemble. The widely traveled dancer and choreographer is from New York City but spent most of her childhood in Haiti.

Georges Vilson will be hand to sign his collections of vodoo/folksongs, Kandelab, Volumes 1 and 2. Admission costs $20 at the door.

Kairos: A Consort of Singers, under the direction of Edward Lundergan, presents a special concert of a cappella works titled “Water Music” on Sunday, November 15 at 4 p.m. at the Holy Cross Monastery, located at 1615 Route 9W in West Park. “Water Music” features a wonderful selection of sacred and secular a cappella choral works from the Medieval period to the present, all depicting different themes of water: tumultuous (and sometimes deadly) seas, calm, peaceful lakes and streams, redemptive baptisms, flowing rivers and life-sustaining sustenance.

The centerpiece of the performance is a stunning and haunting choral work by contemporary Finnish composer Jaakko Mäntyjärvi titled Canticum Calamitatis Maritimae, which the composer dedicated to the memory of the 852 people who perished in the shipwreck of the MS Estonia in the Baltic Sea on September 28, 1994. The work combines a “folksong” soprano solo (very loosely based on the hymn “Nearer, My God, to Thee”) with Latin texts from the ancient Requiem Mass, both whispered and sung by the chorus.

The concert will also feature “water”

GARDENERâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S NOTEBOOK

The sustainable gardener How not to take much more out of the soil than you put in

S

ustainability is such a buzzword these days. Okay, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll join the crowd and say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m growing fruits and vegetables sustainably.â&#x20AC;? But is this true? Can they really be grown sustainably â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that is, in such a way as to be able to continue forever?

As any plant grows, it sucks nutrients

from the soil. Harvest the plant and you take those nutrients off-site. Eventually, those nutrients need replenishment.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what fertilizer does, but spreading fertilizer â&#x20AC;&#x201C; whether organic or chemical â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is hardly sustainable. Organic fertilizers, such as soybean meal, need to be grown, harvested (taking nutrients off-site),

processed, bagged and transported.

Chemical fertilizers need to be mined and processed, or manufactured, and then also bagged and transported.

About half the volume of most soils is mineral, the rest being air, water and organic matter. The mineral portion derives from rocks that â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with time, temperature changes and the jostling and chemical action of plant roots, fungi, earthworms and other soil microorganisms â&#x20AC;&#x201C; are ground finer and finer. Plant nutrients once locked up in those rocks become soluble and available to plants. Over time, a soil naturally offers a pretty much unlimited supply of plant nutrients. That sounds sustainableâ&#x20AC;Śbut wait: three important caveats.

First, it takes time to release those nutrients. Remove too much too fast and

itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like taking money out of the bank faster than you put it in.

Second, one very important nutrient, nitrogen, does not come from rocks.

It comes from the air, â&#x20AC;&#x153;fixedâ&#x20AC;? by soil microorganisms, then incorporated into plants. As plants die, the nitrogen is incorporated into the organic fraction of the soil, from which it is slowly released into the ground for other plants to use â&#x20AC;&#x201C; unless it washes away or becomes a gas again. Nitrogen is the most evanescent of plant nutrients.

And third, a soil could be naturally lacking in one or more essential plant nutrients. If so, the deficiency needs to be corrected by bringing in and spreading whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needed. Â Okay, hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my stab at sustainability: My vegetables get â&#x20AC;&#x153;fedâ&#x20AC;? only compost, a one-inch depth laid on top of each bed each year. This much compost releases enough nitrogen, as well as other nutrients, to keep plants happy and healthy for a year.

But the sustainability meter must examine what goes into the compost.

The bulk of my compost is made from hay harvested from my one-acre hayfield.

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the rub: If I harvest the hay too frequently, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m mining the soil, pulling

Nitrogen comes from the air, â&#x20AC;&#x153;ďŹ xedâ&#x20AC;? by soil microorganisms, then incorporated into plants. out nutrients faster than they are naturally replenished. So I focus on different parts of the field in different years, giving previously harvested portions time to rejuvenate.

Early-morning forays into the field with my scythe provide enough hay for compost-making during the growing season. Last week, I did what I do each fall: attaching the brush-hog to my tractor and mowing the whole field. (Mostly, this prevents the field from morphing over time, first to a field of brambles, multiflora roses and autumn olives, and then on to forest.) After brush-hogging, I rake up a few clumps of hay here and there for the final â&#x20AC;&#x153;feedingâ&#x20AC;? of the seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s compost piles.

This end-of-season stuff is not very nutrient-rich, so what little I harvest takes little from the field in terms of nutrients. This cutting mostly supplies carbon compounds, which it got via photosynthesis from carbon dioxide, to feed the compost microorganisms.

Keeping an eye on the character of the hayfield should give me some idea of how itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing nutritionally. More grasses, more nutrients. Areas of goldenrod, yarrow and other forbs get mowed, but not raked.

My compost pile also gets fed horse manure that I haul in from a local stable.

My use of manure is sustainable only in

November 12, 2015 the sense that it’s someone else’s waste product. Other additions to my compost pile are kitchen scraps and spent garden plants (which recycle rather than add nutrients), and old blue jeans and other biodegradable clothing. Using humanure (see The Humanure Handbook by Joseph Jenkins), if I had a composting toilet, would further close the nutrient cycle.

Two final additions – sustainable except that they need to be transported here – are ground limestone and kelp. The limestone holds soil acidity near neutral, which, among other benefits, puts nutrients in

forms most accessible to plants. The kelp, replete with a spectrum of micronutrients, is for insurance, just in case my soil naturally lacks any essential plant (or human) nutrient.

Hay is bulky stuff; same goes for manure. I move all that bulky stuff to my compost piles, then move the finished compost away from the piles. All this moving is done with the help of my “Vermont garden cart,” which has two heavy-duty, bicycle-sized tires sitting just about midway across a sturdy ply-

so arty

wood bed surrounded by three sturdy plywood walls. Although the cart can haul up to 400 pounds, shoveling out manure or compost scrapes away at the plywood base. That, along with jabs from the pitchfork as I pile in hay, severely compromised the wood – until this summer.

A sheet of aluminum, a friend’s brake for making sharp bends in the sheet and some screws, and I had the bottom of the cart and a few inches up each side protected from my shovel, pitchfork and moisture. These carts should be sold already aluminized.

The only problem is that aluminum is very unsustainable. Although abundant, enormous amounts of electricity are required to free it from the raw material, bauxite. On the plus side, aluminum is very long-lasting; I’ll never have to replace it in my carts.

ALMANAC WEEKLY

One Book/One New Paltz to spotlight Orange is the New Black Before it was a fictionalized TV series, Orange is the New Black: My Year in a Women’s Prison was a nonfiction memoir by Piper Kerman, a middleclass Smith College grad who ended up in federal correctional facility in Danbury, Connecticut ten years after she helped a former lover smuggle a suitcase full of drug money. “Heartbreaking, hilarious and at times enraging, Kerman’s story offers a rare look into the lives of women in prison – why it is we lock so many away and what happens to them when they’re there,” says GoodReads about the book.

Orange is the New Black has been selected as this fall’s community read for One Book/One New Paltz. Readings, panel discussions, screenings and presentations related to the book are scheduled every day from November 15 to 22 at various venues around New Paltz. Probably the biggest draw will be an appearance by Barbara Rosenblat, the actress who plays the character Miss Rosa on the Netflix series, taking place at 7 p.m. on Saturday, November 21 at Studley Theatre on the SUNY-New Paltz campus.

Also of special interest to fans of the show will be a talk by Hudson Valley resident Bernetta Calderone, a former corrections officer who serves as a technical advisor to the program’s

producers. That event begins at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, November 19 at the Elting Memorial Library at 93 Main Street.

The library will screen “I Wasn’t Ready,” Episode 1 of Season 1 of Orange is the New Black, the following evening at the same time, with discussion to follow.

At 7 p.m. on Wednesday, November 18 at the Unison Arts Center at 68 Mountain Rest Road, New Paltz Times columnist Susan Slotnick will screen her film The Game Changer, about her work teaching modern dance to prisoners at the Woodbourne Men’s Correctional Facility.

Two of her students will perform. It’s but one of several One Book/One New Paltz events that will tap the experience of local artists, educators, professionals and volunteers who have taught classes, led workshops or done other work at prisons in the Hudson Valley.

For the full schedule of Orange is the New Black happenings, visit http://

onebookonenewpaltz.com/events. As part of the community read, Barner Books and the Inquiring Minds Bookstore in New Paltz are offering a ten percent discount on the purchase price of the book. Copies can be borrowed from the Elting Memorial Library on the corner of Main and North Front Streets or the Sojourner Truth Library on the SUNY-New Paltz campus.

NIGHT SKY

The glory of the Seven Sisters When have you gazed at the Pleiades?

I

t’s an annual autumn ritual: the reappearance of the glorious Seven Sisters.

This moonless week, they rise in the east before 7 p.m. and are nicely up after 8 p.m. They’re then out for the rest of the night.

They’re that small, tightly packed cluster of stars. There’s nothing else like it.

Tennyson wrote: Many a night I saw the Pleiades rising through the mellow shade Glittering like a swarm of fireflies, tangled in a silver braid.

No obstetrician attended the birth of the Pleiades, 60 million years ago. As these fiercely hot suns awakened from the dazzling and dangerous gaseous nursery, the newborn stars materialized like a distant sunrise in the skies of Earth 400 light-years away.

They seem harmless. But that wasn’t always the case. In ancient times the Pleiades had a strange, sinister reputation. Such medieval rituals as Black Sabbath and All Hallows’ Eve (which evolved into our own Halloween) were set to occur when the Pleiades reached their highest point at midnight. Some have speculated that the rituals are a sort of commemoration of some ancient catastrophe that resulted in great loss of life. Some believe that they may be linked to the Atlantis myth, itself perhaps a legend evolved from the awesome eruption of the Santorini [then called Thera] volcano in 1450 BC that devastated the Minoan civilization on nearby Crete.

The Pleiades had an odd importance to civilizations throughout time and around the world. In Egypt they were revered as one of the forms of the goddess Isis. In ancient Persia the date in which they reached their highest midnight ascendancy was marked with ceremony.

In Mayan and Aztec culture, this same yearly occasion had a forbidding undertone, and was given tremendous importance, with at least one city’s streets and pyramid aligned with the setting of the Pleiades.

In Japan their ancient name is Subaru. Until very recently, the six companies that merged to produce automobiles in 1953 placed a crude star map of the Pleiades on each of their cars. Over the years, its single bright star has been portrayed as ever-more-

The Pleiades (1885) by Elihu Vedder

luminous and increasingly separated from the others. Some revelation of corporate infighting?

To the Greeks, they’re simply the daughters of Atlas. But why seven sisters? That’s the real mystery. After all, normal eyesight readily sees only six: the same number found on the Subaru insignia.

If you can see a seventh, then you should be able to see an eighth as well. How many you can perceive tells as much about the purity of your sky as the state of your vision.

With good eyes in a rural setting, nine are a cinch and even 11 aren’t impossible.

The real thrill comes when the proper instrument is pointed their way. Not a giant telescope; that would be a mistake. Far better is a simple pair of binoculars, because low power and wide field are the ticket. Beginners often gasp when first seeing the Pleiades through binoculars. Suddenly dozens spring into visibility, and their blue-white color becomes obvious as well.

But again, why seven sisters when the average eye sees six? Why have civilizations as disparate as the ancient Greeks, Australian aborigines and Japanese all possessed legends of the “lost Pleiad” that have persisted through the centuries? Even 2,000 years ago, a Greek poet wrote: “...their number seven, though the myths often say...that one has passed away.”

One clue is that, as binoculars reveal, they’re blue: a color that indicates stellar youth.

Young, hot giant stars are often unstable, gobbling up their nuclear fuel in an adolescent frenzy that frequently produces instability.

They’re in their infancy even today; our own Sun has been around 250 times longer.

The dinosaurs gazed unconcernedly into a sky empty of the Sisters, which sprang into view just before we ourselves did. And, since such massive stars die young, the Pleiades will be long gone when most of the galaxy’s stars are still enjoying middle age. Toddling gracefully across November’s chilly skies, the newborn sisters are only for now.

Situations Wanted

FOSTER HOMES NEEDED FOR KITTENS AND PREGNANT CATS.The WOODSTOCK FERAL CAT PROJECT is a local not for profit organization committed to

reducing future feral cat populations through spay/neuter. We often find orphaned kittens who need a loving home until they are old enough to be adopted. Some orphaned kittens are so young that they require bottle feeding.

We affectionately call them “bottle babies”. We recently placed three pregnant cats in three wonderful homes. The cats gave birth and when the kittens are weaned (no longer nursing), we will look to find loving homes for the kittens and their mothers. If you are interested in fostering or would like to learn more about fostering, please call (917) 282-2018 or email DRJLPK@AOL.COM.

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

Holy Mother, 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, the request will be granted. This prayer must be published after the favor is granted.
