CHECK IT OUT Forgotten shores Author talk on NYC’s lost waterfronts at Woodstock’s Golden Notebook this Saturday One of the peculiar things about growing up in New York City – a booming seaport and riverport, a place made up of islands and peninsulas – is how little connection most of its residents have with its coastline.

Most of the waterfront is cut off from pedestrian traffic by busy highways, railroad tracks or the vast marshlands of Jamaica Bay. Want to go to

the beach, or sit by a dock and have a beer while you watch the boats go by? Better head out to Long Island or Connecticut.

It wasn’t always so, of course; the proximity of navigable waterways is a primary reason why cities grow up where they do in the first place. Historian Elizabeth Albert has done all of us a big favor by putting together a treasury of texts and images recapturing the past of the urban shoreline in a new book titled Silent Beaches, Untold Stories: New York City’s Forgotten Waterfront. She’ll be visiting the Golden Notebook in Woodstock at 4 p.m. this Saturday, November 19 for a reading and book-signing.

the reader into the extraordinary past and present embedded in New York City’s more than 600 miles (!) of coastline through a stunning selection of rare photographs, history, new fiction and contemporary art.

Each of the ten chapters centers on one of the City’s lesser-known waterfront spaces: Dead Horse Bay, where legions of horses once met their maker; Hart Island, the still-active potter’s field where more than 800,000 of the City’s unclaimed dead have been laid to rest; and Sandy Ground, one of the earliest free black communities in the nation, made prosperous through oystering and strawberry-farming.

Complementing the historical information are works of new fiction, poetry and visual art by the likes of Joel Meyerowitz, Mary Mattingly, Carrie Mae Weems, Spencer Finch, Susan Choi, Nelly Reifler, Ravi Howard and Antoine Wilson.

Admission to Elizabeth Albert’s reading is free. The Golden Notebook is located at 29 Tinker Street in Woodstock. For more info, call (845) 679-8000 or visit www. goldennotebook.com.

MOVIE Beyond words Arrival is a thought-provoking sci-fi thriller

C

hristopher Orr in The Atlantic is calling Denis Villeneuve’s Arrival “the best film of the year.� The year’s not over yet, but Orr may be onto something. This epic depiction of the efforts of a linguistics professor (Amy Adams) to decode the language of visiting aliens before jumpy politicians and generals blow them to smithereens is a welcome reminder that science fiction can be much more than spaceship dogfights or acid-dripping, razor-fanged monsters.

At its smartest, sci-fi expands our ways of looking at life, the universe and everything. And Arrival is the smartest movie that I’ve seen in any genre in a long, long time.

When a dozen enormous black oval UFOs suddenly appear on Earth, hovering a bit above the ground in what seem like random locations, Dr. Louise Banks is called in by the US Army – partly because she still has top-level security clearance from a previous gig translating terrorists’ communications in Farsi, and partly because she’s so damned good at what she does. Though the film can fairly be described as a thriller, Louise is far from a conventional action hero. She’s a low-key, quiet loner, living with painful memories of a cherished daughter who died in adolescence from an unspecified illness. And when it’s time for her to enter the spacecraft looming above Montana, she’s shaking in terror. But by the closing credits, she has taught the military, the scientists and everyone else around her a serious lesson in the true meaning of courage and sacrifice.

Most of her struggle, racing the clock to prevent potential global catastrophe as much of humanity goes into blind panic mode, is contained, cerebral; and Adams does a stunning job of conveying what’s roiling inside her emotionally while her character remains intently task-focused.

Louise is aided and abetted in her work by theoretical physicist Ian Donnelly (Jeremy Renner), who admires her “mathematical� approach to interspecies communication, while an Army colonel (Forest Whitaker), a CIA honcho (Michael Stuhlbarg) and a Chinese general (Tzi Ma) keep throwing up roadblocks – especially once Louise and Ian start deducing some ambiguous, possibly frightening fragments of the aliens’ complex semantics.

Arrival is an especially piquant intellectual puzzle for anyone who has even a slight familiarity with the Sapir/ Whorf hypothesis, a controversial psycholinguistic premise that has been deconstructed and reconstructed repeatedly since the 1930s. The film provides a sketchy explanation, but enough for the newbie to be getting on with. Basically, what it means is that people tend more readily to perceive things and concepts for which their language has words, for which their grammar has structures. If you live near the Arctic Circle, you probably discern

When a dozen enormous black oval UFOs suddenly appear on Earth, hovering a bit above the ground in what seem like random locations, Dr. Louise Banks (Amy Adams) is called in by the US Army – partly because she still has top-level security clearance from a previous gig translating terrorists’ communications in Farsi, and partly because she’s so damned good at what she does.

more differences in types of snow – and have more ways of describing them – than someone from more temperate climes whose survival does not depend on those fine distinctions.

In politics – as exemplified in the film by a talk show host who is rabble-rousing on behalf of a preemptive strike against the inscrutable visitors from space – this hypothesis of “linguistic relativity� manifests in the form of verbal “framing.�

Repeating certain words ad nauseam about a particular issue (or political candidate) will eventually influence listeners to perceive the subject that way, even if they aren’t true.

People who are good at this often go far as pundits, making their fortunes by polarizing the masses. In Arrival, Louise applies the Whorfian principle when she discovers that her Chinese counterparts are trying to communicate with their own space visitors using mah-jongg tiles as a medium, pointing out that if she tried to use the game of chess in the same way, all messages would inevitably be couched in

the language of war.

While some frustrating shortcuts are taken in depicting to the audience exactly how Louise and Ian puzzle out what the aliens have come here to tell us, it’s still a refreshing thrill to see intellectual prowess and dedicated teamwork so celebrated onscreen. These are no egotistical, power-hungry mad scientists; they are highly intelligent people doing their best to save the world – perhaps more worlds than one. Science fiction is one of the few genres where that nerdy view of heroism still flies, sometimes.

Arrival’s art direction is solid, impressive, but not so showy as to overwhelm the human drama. The alien Heptapods – who squirt out written messages in squid ink that rather

They’re aiming for a more cosmic target: opening viewers’ minds about big concepts like nonlinear time and how profoundly our choices shape our destinies.

MUSIC In the Kitchen debuts new LP at BSP

M

akers of records – of albums – agonize over track sequence as over a Supreme Court appointment or, at the very least, the buying of a new mattress. A certain weight of posterity and determinism, of roads diverging into obscure yellow woods, hangs over the decision. To people on the outside of your skull, the fuss may seem disproportionate to the actual stakes, but the people inside your skull know that it is not.

You might sequence your record for your ideal listener, privileging the flow, the segues and the progressions of a beginning-to-end, album-as-journey experience of the kind that sucked you into this fool’s pursuit in the first place.

Your ideal listener is going to sit and listen to the whole thing multiple times, eyes closed, ears wide open; she is going to attend its movements and note its themes as they blossom; she is going to begin listening to your record with the same willing credulity, patience and positive assumption that she brings to her labelauthenticated and famous favorites when they release new music. She isn’t real, but you can’t have everything.

Or you might heed what your Bandcamp stats are telling you: Most people don’t make it past the ten-percent mark of your first track. Getting someone safely in the door – grabbing them by the virtual lapels and yelling, “Chill the f*ck out and let me work, you skittish, overstimulated,

millennial bumblebee!” – is the only priority; what happens after that is up to your tunes.

You consult your trusted advisors and industry connections and gain a consensus on which among your tracks are the grabbers. Often, they’re not your favorites; often, in fact, they are the outliers, the least-representative songs and the ones that you thought of as playacting or throwaways. Your personal picks and secret-heart gems fall down the track list, their pleasures the reward for anyone who gets that far. Ten percent.

Jesus H. Christ. Every listener is his own market these days.

It all seems to ride on Track One, Word One, Sound One. It is too much weight for any song to bear. Why even make a peep?

There is no one best track, no best foot forward. Some of us just can’t make the call; why, I began one of my band’s recent records with a stupid skit, the next with 60 seconds of on-hold music just to put off the question. The New Paltz-based, fivepiece original bluegrass and folk ensemble In the Kitchen begins their debut fulllength Almost Almost There with about five seconds of a dude giggling. Take that, Mr. Radio Man. It’s a mad, unstable giggle, and dangerous: not all that far off from Jigglypuff ’s signature vocalization in Super Smash Bros. I, for one, think it has hit potential.

When the giggle settles, the propulsive snare groove and chugging acoustic drive of Ryan Reutershan’s “Song in My Head” emerges. That snare pattern – some of us call it the “train groove” – is In the

Kitchen’s default feel, from which they often stray and to which they always return. This train is conducted with both locomotion and great, song-sensitive handling and restraint by the ace New Paltz poly-roots rhythm section of Roger LaRochelle (drums) and Pete Newman (double bass), the duo that makes the engine go in Sekanjabin (belly dancing ethno-fusion), the Jonny Monster Band (doctrinal blues and blues/rock), Dr. Awesome (indie-pop), the Dreambats (post-rock) and many other New Paltzcentered outfits of the last decade. Kinda nice to begin your story with a rhythm section that is locked in like twins.

Reutershan’s songs aim for and routinely achieve a kind of timeless, oracular quality that makes them traditional but not retro. He sings with an eccentric authority somewhere between outlaw and Biblical, supported in the very thoughtful diction of his lyrics, which mostly concern his own regrets and yearnings and the ambivalence of fortune.

His songs are full of roads and bridges that aren’t actually roads and bridges; they are time and decisions. Tightly crafted, evocative winners abound: My favorite among favorites might be the alternately waltzy and swinging “Nocturnal Hearts,” a secret-heart gem buried down amongst the album tracks for those who got that far.

As the name suggests, this is a true acoustic band arranged in a semicircle, a gather-around-one-microphone-forthe-folks-at-home joint. In the role of second songwriter and second shredder is mandolinist Benjy Bruno, whose simple-

and-sweet songs are less intricately personal than Reutershan’s, but just as metaphorical. The chief shredder, in a genre that requires a good one, is the lyrical and ready-to-roll violinist Evan Shultis, whose willing fluidity ties everything to everything else in Reutershan’s bluegrass spiritual travelogues.

Almost Almost There is an unassuming winner: unfailingly sturdy and openhearted songs, rock-energized bluegrass propulsion in a no-fuss setting, sweet licks and a gang-chant communal approach to singing by some dudes who maybe didn’t pass the choir audition in high school. The music belongs to the modern/traditional model of roots music, which is to say that it sounds timeless but involves no stylized costumes or period ruses, preferring to emphasize the evergreen values of folk rather than its historical otherness.

See for yourself on Friday, November 18, when In the Kitchen celebrates the release of Almost Almost There at the San Severia Spiegeltent in the back room at BSP, located at 323 Wall Street in Kingston. Kindred spirits will be joining In the Kitchen for the festivities: first, Joe McNulty, then New Paltz’s great folk eccentrists Yard Sale.

Roswell Rudd’s 81st birthday jam at Falcon

T

he legendary jazz trombonist and composer (and longtime local resident) Roswell Rudd reminds us that quite often the genre’s most experimental and daring voices are also its most sentimental and “folk.” Rudd has helmed some of the most outrageous and daring jazz ever recorded, but a certain sweetness, playfulness and accessible humanity have also characterized everything that he has done – not just his more userfriendly, song-oriented recent work. Rudd’s validations include five Grammy nominations and multiple Trombonist of the Year awards, as well as collaborations with a Who’s Who of significant avant-garde and mainstream jazz players and composers.

At 80, he’s going strong, and he has elected to celebrate his 81st birthday at the Falcon in Marlboro on Saturday, November 19 at 7 p.m. Per usual at the Falcon, there is no cover, but generous donation is encouraged in no uncertain terms.

The Falcon is located at 1348 Route 9W in Marlboro. For more information, visit www.liveatthefalcon.com.

About as decorated as a young, serious composer can be anymore, Yale’s Hannah Lash is featured in the next “Conversations with” series presented

by Close Encounters with Music at the Hudson Opera House on Sunday, November 20 at 3 p.m. In honor of the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage in New York State, the theme of this talk can be deduced from the echoes of Virginia Woolf in its title: “A Studio of Her Own: Shattering the Glass Ceiling.” A composer of exquisite, elusive music for harp (and many other instruments and ensembles), Lash will provide firsthand insights into what has changed and what remains of this restrictive legacy for women composers in serious music and art in general.

Lash obtained her PhD in Composition from Harvard University in 2010. She has held teaching positions at Harvard University and Alfred University, and currently serves on the composition faculty at the Yale University School of Music.

Her works have been commissioned by orchestras such as the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Los Angeles Chamber

Orchestra, the Alabama Symphony Orchestra, the American Composers’ Orchestra and the Minnesota Orchestra and have been presented in venues such as Carnegie Hall, the Walt Disney Concert Hall, the Tanglewood Music Center and the Art Institute of Chicago. She is married to actor Stephen Routman, who has appeared in The Wolf of Wall Street and Inside Llewyn Davis, among many Broadway, TV and film productions.

“A Studio of Her Own: Shattering the Glass Ceiling” begins at 3 p.m.

Admission costs $15, which includes light refreshments. The Hudson Opera House is located at 327 Warren Street in Hudson.

hile his later mentors included such giants of the modern dance world as Merce Cunningham and Lucinda Childs, some of the genre-spanning versatility of Czech-born choreographer Dušan Týnek can likely be ascribed to his baccalaureate years at Bard College, where he studied the natural sciences along with dance. The Annandale institution’s idea of a well-rounded liberal education has long included encouraging students to make up their own majors, cobbling together areas of personal interest in seemingly unrelated disciplines. And that Bardian DNA shows in his work: The Dušan Týnek Dance Theatre’s tenth anniversary season at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in 2013, for example, included three dances that explore the confluence of science and mythology.

Over the 13 years since he founded his Brooklyn-based company, critics and audiences alike have praised Týnek’s imagination, command of structure and genuine ability to convey emotion and atmosphere through an original dance vocabulary that naturally bonds classical and modern techniques. He’ll be back in his old stomping grounds this Saturday evening, November 19, when the Kaatsbaan International Dance Center presents a performance by the Dušan Týnek Dance Theatre. The show begins at 7:30 p.m. Tickets cost $30 general admission, $10 for student rush seats and for children.

The Big Meal at SUNY-Ulster Local theatergoers in the know prick up their ears whenever they hear that some new production is being directed by Christine Crawfis. The longtime managing director of the Mohonk Mountain Stage Company and currently on the board of the County Players, Crawfis has a habit of popping up all over the mid-Hudson with dramatic treats in store. The latest place where her deft hand will be making magic behind the curtain is the Theatre Department at SUNY-Ulster, where a new production of Dan LeFranc’s 2011 comedy The Big Meal opens on Thursday, Novem-

Inspired, at least in format, by Thornton Wilder’s The Long Christmas Dinner, The Big Meal traces the bumpy course of love through 80 years and five generations of one Midwestern family, depicted entirely through gatherings at a restaurant table.

Variety called the play “ingeniously constructed,” and The New York Times praised its “snappy dialogue.”

Performances of The Big Meal at SUNYUlster’s John Quimby Theater begin at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, November 17 to 19, and at 2 p.m. on Sunday, November 20.

Check out weekend's pre-Sinterklaas festivities in Kingston He was the fourth-century patron saint of sailors and children – talkin’ about Sinterklaas here – and was brought to the Hudson Valley over 300 years ago by the original Dutch immigrants who populated the area before the Brits took over. As far as traditions go, this twist on a celebration originating in the Netherlands has taken hold. And every year, after a period of celebratory preparation in the Rondout, Sinterklaas is put onto a boat and departs. According to legend, he’s leaving “Spain” to arrive in “Holland,” where he is lauded by children and adults alike. In actuality, he lands in Rhinebeck, where more frivolities ensue the following weekend.

Organizers say that “it takes a village” to produce the annual event. Workshops for children’s activities and fundraisers that make the whole Sinterklaas scene feasible ramp up in mid-November. Sponsors, local businesses, volunteers and a bevy of entertainers are enrolled and lined up for action. It’s a huge celebration where children are transformed into Kings and Queens and honored as the bringers of the light at the darkest time of year, and it takes some doing.

The tradition of Sinterklaas is recreated through the lens of modern-day America as a non-denominational, noncommercial, all-inclusive event. Parades and performances are geared for the young, the old, the in-between: anyone who wants to be part of a community of hope for a joyous and peaceful world.

The character of Sinterklaas (a/k/a St. Nicholas, Santa Claus and Father Christmas) dresses up in a bishop’s mitre, red cape, shiny ring and jeweled staff and rides a white steed through town.

The story goes that he knocked on doors late at night to deliver goodies to good children. He was accompanied by the Grumpus –a wild-looking half-man, half-beast – who would threaten “less

good” ones by rattling heavy chains. Kids aren’t unduly frightened in the Hudson Valley version, however. The focus is clearly joy, peace and light. And by the time Sinterklaas arrives in Rhinebeck on Saturday, December 3, the merriment hits its peak.

Meanwhile, Kingston is getting ready. In fact, according to co-chair Nancy Donskoj, preparations have been underway since last summer, when new props were made.

“This year we’re expanding into Midtown,” she says. “Our goal has always been to make it a city-wide event, to reach out into more of the community.”

This Friday and Saturday hold activities to kick things off properly. “Wreaths, Sweets and Dutch Treats” is a cocktail reception and silent-auction fundraiser that will take place at the Old Dutch Church in Uptown Kingston on Friday, November 18 from 5:30 to 9 p.m. Come do your holiday shopping from a selection of artist-made holiday wreaths, unique gift items and gift certificates to fabulous local businesses, all while enjoying musical entertainment, delicious holiday food, beer, wine and signature cocktails with a Dutch theme. Tickets cost $30 in advance, $40 at the door.

Kids of all ages get to create their own costumes for the festivities at Crowns and Branches Workshops. With adult accompaniment, children can participate for free (donations are always welcome!) in any one of three workshops: Saturday, November 19 from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Kingston Library on Franklin Street; and Friday, November 25 (same time slot) and Saturday, November 26 from 12 noon to 3 p.m. at the Rondout Neighborhood Center, located at 105 Broadway at the corner of Spring Street.

The big day, Saturday, November 26, begins at the Kingston Library at 10:30 a.m. with special storytelling presented

by Sam Osterhout. Hear how the ghosts of Henry Hudson and the Spirit of the Hudson River come alive for Sinterklaas’ arrival in the Hudson Valley. The Parrots for Peace will be on hand to engage the audience with their message of peace and sustainability. At the newly erected Spiegeltent at Broadway Commons, there will be a celebration of our Mexican American heritage with holiday ponche, a mariachi band and beehive piñata.

All day long, many of the Rondout businesses will open their doors for storytelling, face-painting, workshops in cookie-decorating, owl mask coloring and ornament-making for the kids. For the adults, there will wine and glogg tastings

And at T. R. Gallo Park, magical owl sculptures created by the Kingston High School Crafts Club will be on display, and a giant beehive will be placed in the Gazebo, where children can enter and hear “Secrets of the Hive.” Sky Hunters in Flight will have an educational program with live owls and other birds of prey.

Sinterklaas departs from the historic Kingston Waterfront (a/k/a “Spain”) after a 4 p.m. Children’s Maritime Parade down Broadway, with handcrafted stars and puppets galore. “We’re calling it a procession because we want people to escort Sinterklaas down to his boat,” says Donskoj. Kingston sends off the jolly old man and his white horse on a tugboat that crosses the river to his destination there. After his sendoff, there will be a Mathilda Tugboat-Lighting Ceremony at the Hudson River Maritime Museum, a Sinterklaas Soirée and Hootenanny at Mariner’s Harbor, featuring the Gold Hope Duo, and plenty of specials at all of the local restaurants.

T

he creation of mood, tone and aesthetics in a social scene: Garett Grassi’s amorphous Aether, co-founded with R. C. Wheeler, is well-known for all the above.

Aether is described as “a KLUB, undefined by one particular space, but notably an art commune…a gang of prolific local artists running in social circles thru the Hudson Valley.” Grassi and Wheeler specialize in the production of private events for up to a few hundred attendees.

With a forte in creating spaces for music, art and socialization, they produce the atmospheric backdrop in which people can party in privacy and safety and style.

“The Hudson Valley is amazing,” says Grassi. “It’s exploding with creative types.

R. C. and I work really well together because we are on the same page. It’s a unique thing to find someone you feel is so in sync with you.”

Aether got its start when Grassi moved to Europe in his 20s. “I was minding my business and got yanked into a bar, a club – much like the topless clubs I avoided

Danielle Bliss and Joe Venditti, the husband-and-wife team behind Wishbone Letterpress, are also the hosts of the Hudson Valley Hullabaloo. “We curate a really great lineup of local handmade small businesses with a few vintage sellers that have unique, gift-able items,” says Bliss. “It's a great opportunity to see what people are making, and chat with them about their process. I think it makes giving the gift that much more special.”

Hudson Valley Hullabaloo in Midtown Kingston this weekend

T

he Hudson Valley Hullabaloo is a holiday-season crafts market, but it’s also a party with a hipster vibe, designed to lift people’s spirits just as the gloom of late November settles in. While you shop for high-quality handmade items from more than 70 local artisan vendors, you can listen to tunes spun by deejay Mr. Chips, or take a break for a gourmet snack from Grounded or the Samosa Shack. You can have an old-fashioned tintype portrait made in Tom DeLooza’s wet-plate photography photobooth, or have a reading from Solidago Tarot. Or if a pen-and-ink portrait is more your style, you can get a sketch of yourself done by Will Lytle, the extraordinary artist behind Thorneater Comics, for only $1.

Products for sale at the Hullabaloo will include everything from handmade clothes, jewelry and body care products to candles, paper goods and toys, plus gifts like artisanal food, wine and spirits, hand-carved housewares and ceramics. The price of admission is $2 for all aged 13 and up; kids get in for free. The Hudson Valley Hullabaloo is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. this Saturday, November 19 and again from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, November 20 at the Andy Murphy Midtown Neighborhood Center (the former Kingston Armory building), located at 467 Broadway in Midtown Kingston.

offered a job in this whole night-life scene, a structure I hadn’t been introduced to before.”

Grassi stuck around long enough to think that he’d be there forever, living in Germany and Prague, and visiting other eastern European countries and going to clubs in those locations. He liked the electronic dance music: trance, hip-hop, house. But as life often alters one’s plans, he came back to the States and got involved in art and family.

A metal artist who worked at a foundry for awhile – Polich Tallix, the fine art foundry that was responsible for originally casting Jo Davidson’s the sixfoot-tall, 1,050-pound bronze portrait bust of FDR, on exhibit at the Four Freedoms Park on Roosevelt Island – was

inspired by his experience abroad, where clubs offered a carefully controlled and orchestrated environment for their clients.

Starting off by producing occasional private events back in New York, Grassi took his experience in promoting clubs to promoting parties in general. “I started to link up people with different art and music acts. Music is the backbone of these parties, but I had people making art, doing things, monitoring behavior in all the comings and goings. I did this in some shop areas, woodland s e t t i n g s , incorporating bonfires or other fire arts. The aim is to control the general atmosphere of the night to provide a fun escape, much in the way any other entertainment would have that goal.

Certain circles would call people together, and one successful event led to the next event. It caught on.”

He and Wheeler attracted top local talent in the way of deejays and musicians, artists to invent the scenarios and other eager and capable people to set the pace. They often use a donation system to manage a bar space and keep people from getting too intoxicated or out-of-

NIGHT SKY

How did physics get so wacky?

Down the Tunnel of No Escape, Part One

R

ecent letters to the Woodstock Times reveal how disconcerting physics has become. Some readers seem disturbed by suggestions that the physical universe is interrelated with human consciousness. I think some imagine that writers like myself are dragging religion into a discussion where it doesn’t belong.

But the sea-change in physics has nothing to do with scripture. It started with quantum mechanics in the 1920s, and revealed that nature is far stranger and less intuitive than we ever imagined. But before we see how science came to abandon local realism (the assumption that nature exists independently of our measurements), we need to tackle something more basic: where we should draw the boundary between our own observations and the external universe.

Centuries ago, George Berkeley – for whom the city and college were named – liked to say that “the only things we perceive are our perceptions.” This means that our nervous systems are interwoven with our perceptions. Thus, we are always somehow connected with the “external world.” This should be obvious to everyone, but it is not. That’s why discussions along these lines often make people say, “This is like the tree falling in the forest, right?”

We’ve all heard that philosophical question: “If a tree falls in the forest and nobody is around, does it make a sound?” This seems like mere philosophy to many people, who are roughly evenly divided in answering yes or no. Many imagine that the question merely probes how unimportant we are in the scheme of things. But the question has several layers of depth to it, and, among other things, ascertains whether the listener understands the nature of sound.

Most people grasp that sound is something that humans or animals experience, and that it also requires some medium like air. There is no sound in outer space or on the Moon. A falling tree causes lots of branches to make violent contact with others, while the main trunk slams into the ground. All this activity disturbs the air, whi-ch

undergoes countless small and larger pressure differences. These rapid pressure changes travel at a speed of 1,100 feet per second, losing their coherency the farther they go. If an animal’s ears are close enough, the air pressure oscillations create vibrations in the ear’s tympanic membrane, which generates electrical signals that zoom to the brain.

There they produce the perception of sound.

So sound, as George Berkeley knew, is a perception requiring a human or animal nervous system. If no animals are around, the falling tree still produces those air-pressure fluctuations – essentially rapid, minuscule breezes – but there’s no sound.

Some have a problem with this because it’s hard to imagine ourselves absent from a scene that we are visualizing. In our mind’s eye we can see a tree falling. But now we’re asked to retain that image while also imagining ourselves as absent. It’s a contradiction, and some people can’t do that. Or else, they still visualize a sound accompanying the falling tree, forgetting that a sound can only be created by a conscious being.

Canadian physicist Roy Bishop often writes about this same principle as it pertains to light. Way back in the 18th century, Isaac Newton wrote a paper called “The Rays Are Not Colored,” in which he argued that a human or animal observer is necessary to make an object appear red. But it took another century before physics could experimentally show that light consists of alternating magnetic and electrical fields or waves. Now, magnetism and electricity have no inherent brightness or color. What happens is that specialized cells in our retinas, when hit by these magnetic and electrical pulses, respond by sending small electrical signals to the brain, where billions of neurons and a trillion synapses respond by creating a mental image of blues, greens and shades of brightness. Thus, everything we perceive visually is being created and perceived in the brain and nowhere else. It’s not “out there in front of us,” even if that’s the amazing perception that our neural architecture makes us all experience.

Those who realize this, like Newton and Dr. Bishop, live in awe of the astonishing world concocted by our brains and minds.

They know that the visual experience is not an independent phenomenon occurring “out there” in some imaginary realm that’s somehow separate from ourselves. We are as necessary to the orange sunset as is the Sun, and the electromagnetic fields that its fusion core creates.

Once understood, the first step has been taken in grasping our interdependence with Nature. Yet even so, it was still a giant unexpected jump for quantum theory first to posit and then to prove that our conscious observations physically change what’s perceived. This was such a leap from the “local realism” assumed by science until then that it deserves it own dedicated page. That’s where we will go next week.

George Berkeley – for whom the city and college were named – liked to say that “the only things we perceive are our perceptions.”

control. Their aim was and is to design “approachability to people from different walks of life – a place for people to wade into this experience.” Grassi says that it sprang from a need for him personally.

“I liked and missed it – not just a bar or venue that was converted or had a transient moment of that feeling.”

Capitalizing on friends and acquaintances who have the ability to provide a better soundscape for these sorts of parties – ones with a serious deejay presence, louder, better music, a certain feeling or atmosphere – Grassi and Wheeler found their niche: that something that Grassi missed from having been in that world in his early 20s. “We decided to name the event with this archaic, scientific term for the atmosphere, Aether: what Tesla and others would refer to as ‘the space beyond our atmosphere,’ an airy term for space. I thought it represented what I was trying to do.”

When Aether produces an event, they attempt to design multiple spaces, large and small, where people can either dance or converse. It’s different than hanging out in a bar, in that the event is usually theme-based on the dance music and art installations in-house. “We’ve done these events fairly underground. We employ a door person, security, food, drinks and alcohol, and the whole thing is open for

interpretation, usually lasting eight to ten hours.

“We’ve been thinking about getting a more permanent venue here, and have it double as a professional art studio and hold these functions a few times a month – to clear out the space and safely host the dance and entertainment. For now, it’s like a mobile venue. The best part is keeping it local. We’ve had invitations to be elsewhere,” he says, commenting on the entrepreneurial spirit evident in the region.

“It could grow into something bigger if we get a real commercial space, maybe in Midtown or somewhere in Kingston. A social club is one particular sort of venue – like the Freemasons or Odd Fellows, or the Yacht Club. And there are permits and licensing, the sale of alcohol all have to be considered, the fire code – none of which is up for interpretation. I’ve set up my private parties in a safe fashion, adhering to regulations, and I got good advice and help from people who have established venues.”

Operating on a private-party basis for a few years in hosting and promoting “loft parties” or “warehouse parties,” Grassi saw the potential in involving a larger group of talented artists to produce events. “We’re having our professions meet our passions.

After-parties are becoming expected at events like New Year’s Eve, O+ and Chronogram’s Block Party. The Hudson

Valley is waking up from the slump of the ’90s. My phone is ringing off the hook.

It’s an interesting thing that it’s turned into: a good opportunity for people to get together. My goal is to reach them and provide a late-night venue.”

Acknowledging that he and Wheeler are underfunded to accomplish a permanent venue just yet, he notes phenomena like Burning Man, where the opening for art, music and creative self-expression attracts people from all over the world.

“This is the local incarnation of what’s already budding. It’s an open canvas, and I happen to know how to do it fairly well.

The possibility to move to the next level – it’s a testimony, not just to my ability to

connect people or connect with people myself, but it’s something I’m proud of.

It’s important to be sensitive to the social scene here. Kingston is a small town in a lot of ways, which is the awesome thing about it. It’s exciting, like a blessing, rich with potential and possibility. Aether has grown organically.”

November 17, 2016 jam, to which any and all are invited to bring an instrument and join in.

Saturday evening culminates with a 6:30 p.m. performance of Cry Havoc, a oneman show created by Army vet Stephan Wolfert, in which he parallels the words of Shakespeare with his own military experience to examine society’s responses to war. The actor/writer/director left a career in the military for a life in the theater after seeing a performance of Shakespeare’s Richard III. He cofounded the largest touring Shakespeare company in New England, directed and taught Shakespeare at Cornell University and created and directed the military segments for Twyla Tharp and Billy Joel’s Tony Award-winning production, Movin’ Out. Wolfert is founding artistic director of Shakespeare & Veterans and is the creator of De-Cruit, a program to reintegrate military veterans using classical actor training.

Sunday’s schedule will include Core Stories, an interactive civilian/veteran dialogue on the aftereffects of war with poetry by prolific veteran writer and advocate Everett Cox. The weekend closes with a performance by local Native American veteran Gil Tarbox and the Ninham Mountain Singers.

The tri-county showcase is the result of a collaborative effort among the FDR Presidential Library and Museum and two local organizations, the Veteran Family Support Alliance and the Orange County New York Arts Council. Additional support was received from the Seriti Foundation and others.

War stories Veteran Arts Showcase in Hyde Park

W

hat began four years ago as a small exhibition of artwork created by veterans has morphed into the annual weekend-long Veteran Arts Showcase at the FDR Presidential Library in Hyde Park. This year’s event, held Friday through Sunday, November 18 to 20, will highlight the veteran experience through author talks and poetry readings, theatrical performance, live music, interactive dialogues, an art exhibition, a qigong demonstration, a community drum circle, Native American drums and songs and an open-mic jam with military and civilian participants.

Admission to all events is free.

The common denominator to all involved is a military background.

Presenters will represent all generations, all branches of service, both genders, all the wars. Some are professional artists, writers and performers who have served in the military; others are vets who took up art through an outpatient program like that at the Veterans’ Administration Hudson Valley Montrose Campus. The longstanding safe space for veterans allows them to engage in the creative process of artmaking as a means for relaxation, or to help them to understand and heal from difficult military experiences where words are hard to find.

Military service is something that people who have not “been there, done that” can ever fully understand. And the gap between veterans and civilians can be hard to bridge because – with good reason – many veterans don’t like to talk about their experiences. Events too traumatic to relive are not exactly the stuff of everyday

conversation, and veterans know that they’d have to filter the stories anyway.

As a result, many vets end up internalizing much of what they feel.

The arts provide a channel through which a vet can confront and express his or her experiences, recover from the aftereffects of war and reconnect with fellow veterans once home again.

Civilians who visit the Veteran Arts Showcase will not only witness the healing power of art, but also become a part of the conversation.

An opening reception will take place on Friday, November 18 from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. After a Presentation of Colors and opening remarks by Paul Sparrow, director of the FDR site, there will be a meet-the-artists reception from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. The evening will close with a presentation by Dr. Peter Meineck, “Ancient Wars: Modern Vets,” in which he compares the lives of modern American veterans to those of the ancient Greeks and Romans.

On Saturday, November 19, the Wallace Center at the FDR site will open for the Showcase from 10 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. On Sunday, November 20, the hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The art-exhibit portion of the showcase, on view all weekend, encompasses more than 100 works of art that include mixed-media works, drawings, paintings, sculpture and handcrafts. Among the most intriguing items submitted for viewing are those inspired by the Combat Paper project of the Printmaking Center of New Jersey: a joint endeavor of Iraq War vet and artist Drew Cameron and papermaker Drew Matott.

The two began the project in 2007 as a way for Cameron to confront his combat experiences. A veteran first cuts up his or her uniform down to the threads, representing the deconstruction of the military experience. The fibers are then fused in the papermaking process, creating a support that resonates with the memories associated with the uniform, on which a vet can tell his or her story through poetry or art.

Saturday-morning events include meditation with Champa Patel, followed by a free writers’ workshop for vets (preregistration is required). The program for the day includes live music and two featured speakers: Woodstock councilman and World War II veteran Jay Wenk and Iraq combat veteran and poet Jennifer Pacanowski. Wenk will read passages from his memoir, Study War No More: A Jewish Kid from Brooklyn Fights the Nazis. Pacanowski, who is a member of Warrior Writers, a national nonprofit whose mission is to create a culture that articulates veterans’ experiences, will read from her original work.

The exhibit will include greeting cards, a calendar and a book of the paintings of the Ashokan Reservoir, available for purchase.

“I’ve been painting the Ashokan ever since I moved here. It’s a view that I have. At this point I’m mystified by it.

Every moment is another view. Even if I’m looking at the same exact view, it’s different moment-to-moment, on a daily basis and on a monthly basis. This whole process [of creating these 25 paintings] started when my son was away from home and I had to come up with a birthday gift for him. I thought, ‘I’ll paint him a view of the Reservoir, because he might miss it.’ Every day I painted another view, and the whole thing became a monster!”

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

Taste of the tropics Meyer lemon makes a sweet-scented winter houseplant

F

or the past couple of weeks, every time I walk upstairs to my home office, a sweet aroma hits me like a wave a few steps before I reach the top stair. This wave pulls me forward, a room-and-a-half away, to the Meyer lemon plant sitting in my office’s sunny south-facing window.

The wave began when only a single Meyer lemon flower had opened. Now, the plant, only a foot-and-a-half high, is decked out with more than 20 flowers.

This “tree” started life as a cutting I took from a friend’s old tree that needed some pruning. With their bottom leaves stripped off, the six-inch-long stems rooted reliably in a few weeks after their bottom portions were plunged into a moist mix of equal parts peat and perlite, and transpiration was reduced with clear plastic overhead. Bright-but indirect-light allowed for photosynthesis without cooking the plants in their “minigreenhouse.”

My most important job now is to keep an eye out for scale insects, which show up as either brown bumps (armored scale) or cottony tufts (cottony cushion scale) on leaves and stems. Rubbing off these insects or dabbing them with a Q-Tip soaked in alcohol deals with them, unless the population gets out of hand. Repeated sprays with horticultural oil can be the next line of defense.

Every couple of days I pick up the artist’s brush lying next to the potted plant and dab it on the tips of some of the flowers. I’m not painting; I’m picking up the yellow pollen from each flower’s male anthers and dusting it onto each flower’s (and neighboring flower’s) female stigmas.

A good proportion of those pollinated flowers should go on to provide the next treat from Meyer lemon: fruit, which this plant usually bears prolifically. Meyer lemon is actually a hybrid of lemon and sweet orange, with both parents reflected in the flavor.

A final plus for this plant is that, in contrast to many other citrus plants, its stems lack thorns.

Greenhouse figs still bear fruit; with low light and cool temperatures, they’re not worth eating. I did recently harvest a few figs from a Kadota fig plant that had been planted outdoors.

“Had been planted outdoors?” So where is it now? It’s still outdoors, but not planted.

It’s in a pot. Like my few other potted figs, the potted Kadota plant will move down to the basement before temperatures drop below 20 degrees Fahrenheit.

Unlike my other potted figs, the Kadota plant did not require daily watering all summer, or yearly root-pruning and repotting to give the roots new room to grow and explore. The reason is because the Kadota is in an 18-inch-diameter plastic pot with some holes that I drilled in its side. In spring, I sunk the pot up to its rim into a waiting

beautiful, almost overwhelmingly so.

Thousands of people take advantage of the three-mile-long paved path accessible to bicyclers, walkers and wheelchairs. If you drive around it, you see signs posted where former towns once stood. I asked McGuire if the fact that it’s a manmade lake with a history colored by the demolition of a number of communities alters her impressions. I wondered if she had feelings relating to the history, and if they ever show up in her work.

“They don’t,” she said. “I have feelings because I’ve watched it over the years.

In the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, it was extremely low, and you could see the towns! But what I’ve captured is the visual difference of these moments: the seasons, times of day, the weather. This happens to be my view, and I look at it all the time while I wash the dishes and vacuum the house. I don’t know all the history, but for me – I’m a very visual person. What strikes me most is light, color and atmosphere.

I grew up in Connecticut with a view of fields and rolling hills. Wherever we are, there’s a view that changes constantly.

That’s a good thing.”

A visit to the painter’s website reveals her

fascination with nature, from botanical sketches to more abstract representations.

I asked about a long gap in the list of her exhibitions between 1979 and 2001, guessing that she might have been busy raising a family during that time. “Yes, I was a mother and a homemaker. I still painted, but I didn’t have enough work to do exhibitions. Also, I went back to school and did some reeducating during that time. I will say that I’ve been painting since I was a child. I go back to my roots by doing it. Having a family was Number One, and I put them before everything else. I think that’s what we have to do to make a whole and happy society. So that’s what I did.”

McGuire’s “The Ashokan Reservoir: An Ephemeral Glimpse” will be on display through December 17, along with a number of other artworks done by Barrett Art Center members. All under 18 inches in size, these works will be on display in the Center’s historic 1840s gallery spaces. During the 2016 holiday season, the Center will donate a portion of the proceeds from sales in these exhibitions to Holiday Helping Hands, a charitable giving program of the United Way of

hole in a bed on the sunny south side of my house. The plant’s roots wandered outside the pot into the surrounding soil through the existing opening in the bottom of the pot, as well as through the side openings. Once outside the pot, roots were able to fend for themselves, garnering water and nutrients for the small tree.

Like many other fig varieties (but few other kinds of fruits), Kadota bears fruit on new shoots: very convenient. Rather than having to squeeze spreading limbs down my narrow basement stairs, I can cut back all the stems rather drastically, which also has the benefit of stimulating vigorous new shoots at the cut stub: new shoots that will bear fruit next year. Not too drastically, though, or too long a time might be required for the fruit to develop and ripen. And Kadota is already a late-ripening variety.

Of all my figs, Kadota is my favorite, both for its almost-chewy skin and the rich, sweet flavor lying within – even those recently harvested ones.

Another sensory treat slated for winter comes compliments of Angels’ Trumpets (Brugmansia spp.). The flowers of these subtropical trees are giant six-inchlong trumpets in pale colors, from which wafts a delicious aroma, especially at night. These subtropical plants can grow into trees, but are easily kept much smaller, in pots, in cold climates.

I neglected my plant all summer and on into fall; when I retrieved it to protect it from coldest nights, it was just about leafless and ready for the compost pile. Then I noticed some small leaves beginning to develop along its almost-bare stems. And some stems had the beginnings of flowers on them.

So I brought Angels’ Trumpet indoors, next to a sunny window (and next to the Meyer lemon). It looks sad now, but should revive and, judging from my previous experiences with this plant, flower well most of the winter. In summer, with long days, it takes a rest from flowering – which is why I ignored the plant.

Veteran Arts Showcase in Hyde Park Last Friday, we honored veterans and their families. This Friday, and all weekend long, let’s be in dialogue with them, with their art as the inspiration.

Broadway-bound Alton Brown Live: Eat Your Science at UPAC I haven’t been able to pin down which waggish food writer said it first, but anyone who has ever attempted substitution of ingredients knows the truth of the platitude, “Cooking is art; baking is science.” Your cake will slump if you put in too little baking powder, and taste like tinfoil if you put in too much. But celebrity chef/author Alton Brown takes that truism as a challenge in his live touring shows, treating his culinary tools and materials as a chemistry set, always ready for risky experimentation. He brings a new edition of Eat Your Science to the Ulster Performing Arts Center (UPAC) in Kingston on Thursday, November 17: an affordable out-of-town tryout preparatory to its Broadway premiere on November 22.

Spirituality

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

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