A dig at your digs Learn how to conduct your own backyard archaeological excavation this Saturday

T

he “Backyard Archaeology� illustrated lecture given

by Andy Angstrom at the Esopus Town Hall on Saturday, November 21 at 4 p.m. will appeal to those who enjoy hearing about local history as well as those who appreciate historical archaeology, and perhaps want a few tips on the right way to proceed in excavating finds on their own property.

The Klyne Esopus Museum in Ulster Park is sponsoring the talk, which is free of charge to attend.

Angstrom’s story begins after he built a house on 20 acres of woodland abutting the old New York City Reservoir property. “After a while, I noticed there was an area that had a lot of broken bottles, and they were old bottles,� he says. “I didn’t think much of it at first; I would just pick them up as I found them so I wouldn’t step on them later. I got to poking around there a little more, and the next thing you know, I find that there had been some type of structure there.�

Angstrom wasn’t sure what to make of

it until he happened to meet an elderly woman who had lived in the area for her entire life. “We got to talking, and I asked her, ‘Do you know what was up there in the woods?’ She said, ‘Oh, yes. It was a bar.’�

The woman said that she remembered being a child and hearing her parents talking and laughing about a bar up in the woods near the Reservoir, where the workers would go. “They had a camp there for the guys that were working in this quarry,� Angstrom explains. “I did all the archaeology, and got the maps and did the measuring, and it turns out, the town line goes right through the middle of this bar. And the bar was

built purposefully, apparently, right on the town line of Olive and Marbletown.

This woman told me that her parents were laughing about it because the bar would be moved back and forth across the town line according to whichever town had the best blue laws at the time in those days leading up to Prohibition.�

Angstrom decided that when he retired, he would undertake a little archaeology project at the site. “We found a lot of children’s toys, a cast-iron cap gun, stuff like that. But there were a lot of broken bottles, and then I started finding things that you would only find in a bar: a crystal glass beer advertising sign, a striker for big stick matches that was an advertisement for a now-defunct beer and hundreds of crown-topped bottlecaps that we still use today for beer bottles, but they had just been invented at that time.�

The backyard archaeologist discovered that the old stone walls around the site were part of a Colonial-era farm next to where the oldest map shows a “James Davis Tavern� on Beaverkill Road. “Although back then it was the Ashokan Road,� Angstrom notes. “I metal-detected around there with the permission of the owner, and I found some really interesting things down there – old coins – and stuff, and then up by my house I found Colonialera shooting material.�

Angstrom’s love of archaeology was fostered while growing up on Hurley Avenue (the Old Mine Road) in Kingston, where he hunted for arrowheads with his father in the fields along the Esopus Creek. After a 39-year career as director of the Ashokan Field Campus of SUNY-New Paltz (now the Ashokan Center), Angstrom retired in 2006. He has also served as a visiting professor at SUNY-New Paltz, teaching several graduate-level courses. He is a founder and past president of the New York State Outdoor Education Association and currently consults as an outdoor environmental education specialist.

Angstrom will have a book published

by Mill City Press in December that he wrote about his ancestor John Quincy Adams – not the sixth president of the US, but a bugler in the Civil War with the 35th Massachusetts Regiment. “He kind of became a family hero because he survived the whole war; he was in Antietam and Fredericksburg. He eventually got pneumonia and mustered out. But the family saved a lot of his stuff, and thought all of it was Quincy’s; but I did the research and realized that some of it was officer material. It turned out he had three brothers-in-law in the war; two were killed and one was an officer who came home alive and brought his stuff home, so I was able to weave that into the story as well.� – Sharyn Flanagan

The bar was built purposefully, apparently, right on the town line of Olive and Marbletown.

BOOK

LUC SANTE TALKS ABOUT THE OTHER PARIS THIS SATURDAY AT WOODSTOCK’S GOLDEN NOTEBOOK

B

elgian-born Ulster County resident, Bard College professor and New York Review of Books stalwart Luc Sante is said to have failed to complete his degree from Columbia University on account of having been a Book Delinquent (one of those dreaded infractions that goes on your Permanent Record). Nonetheless, he has managed to go on to considerable success as a prolific author, editor, translator and omnivorous commentator on art and culture.

Sante has recently followed up his acclaimed 1991 opus Low Life: Lures and Snares of Old New York with a similar exploration of the seamier side of the City of Light. In The Other Paris, he draws on testimony from many contemporary sources to guide the reader on a whirlwind trip through Paris as it will never be again: dark and dank, poor and slapdash and truly Bohemian, filled with whorehouses, dance halls and hobo shelters. A LAURA LEVINE lively survey of labor conditions, prostitution, drinking, crime and popular entertainment, and of the reporters, realiste singers, pamphleteers and Luc Sante, author of The Other Paris poets who chronicled their evolution, The Other Paris is a book meant to upend the story of the French capital, to reclaim the city from the bons vivants and the speculators and to hold a light to the works and lives of those expunged from its center by the forces of profit.

Luc Sante will give a talk on The Other Paris at 4 p.m. this Saturday, November 21 at the Golden Notebook, located at 29 Tinker Street in Woodstock. For info call (845) 679-8000 or visit www.goldennotebook.com.

A 2014 SUNY-New Paltz BFA graduate, Lanchantin has wasted no time in taking commissions and exhibiting her own works around the region, demonstrating skill in realistic and abstract renderings.

Now sharing the technique of grinding rocks with a mortar and pestle to use as pigmentation in both oil and watercolors, she teaches is teaching artists how to reconnect with nature. “I use natural materials to paint with that I feel connected to in a metaphysical way, because I collect them from places of personal importance,” Lanchantin writes. “I collect stones from my family’s farmland in Cambridge, New York and areas in the Catskill Mountains. In the studio, I transform these stones into usable earth pigment. I consider this process a total collaboration with geology, both in material and subject matter.”

Lanchantin will be at Mountain Top Library in Tannersville this Saturday, November 21, at 11 o’clock to inspire others to creative expression with local

materials. This will be an adult workshop; just bring your inner child – no experience necessary – and supplies will be provided.

A simultaneous Children’s Workshop will give kids a chance to play with clay and make a unique bookmark in time for the holidays (conducted by artist and Library director Maureen Garcia, with Pam Oppen).

STAGE Tapping deep sources Brenda Bufalino to perform at Unison in New Paltz this Friday

A

nother person would have retired years ago, content to rest on her laurels.

But Brenda Bufalino, who has been dancing professionally for 70 years, isn’t one for letting the years dictate her days. She remains today what she has been for most of those years: one of the jazz world’s great unstoppable forces.

Though she’s best-known as the woman who all-but-singlehandedly rescued tap dance from the mists of memory in the 1970s, Bufalino’s career, her interests and abilities aren’t limited to tap – a fact that she’ll be only too happy to demonstrate at the Unison Arts & Learning Center in New Paltz this Friday, November 20.

Of course she’ll be wearing her tap shoes. But there will be more; there will be music and poetry and perhaps a little audience interaction. It will be a performance that will reflect and briefly encompass her life’s calling as a jazz artist.

Her eyes brighten at the memory of how it all began. “My training was conservatory-type training. But in the ’50s I started specializing, first in Afro-Cuban and what was called ‘modern primitive.’

You could say that was the beginning: the ’50s, in the City. I’ve always considered myself a jazz artist, whether it was with poetry or as a writer or dancer, with or without taps.”

New York City has always been one of her homes; she has launched her own dance companies there, taught and improvised and choreographed there.

Much of the tap renaissance that she and her late partner Charles “Honi” Coles are credited with creating was born and nurtured in venues there, large and small.

Along the way, Bufalino blended her performances with her political

concerns – not only as a feminist, but also as a local environmentalist who fought against the effort to construct a condominium development along her beloved Shawangunk Ridge, on whose flank her Gardiner studio can be found.

She’ll be offering an hommage to the part of the Ridge known as Gertrude’s Nose at the upcoming Unison performance.

“I’ve been engaged with this mountain for a long, long time,” she says. “I did a tap opera about Gertrude’s Nose because I was concerned about women taking back the mountain. I felt then that women were not engaged in the environmental

movement.”

She continues her creative work – including her ceramic work – at her studio when she’s not in the City or in Europe, where she says tap and jazz are both more popularly acknowledged than in the States.

She knocks wood when describing her physical condition. A lot of her friends and colleagues haven’t fared well, she says.

“But I’ve been very fortunate. I have no metal. I can go through metal detectors without a problem.”

Bufalino’s voice takes on a hushed aspect when she recalls the loss of one

of her greatest friends, tap dancer/actor Gregory Hines, who died in 2003 at the age of 57. “Oh, he was a great dancer, a fabulous guy. What a loss. He was so instrumental to so much of what was good back then, as a producer and creator,” she says.

Losses like that, coupled with catastrophic funding cutbacks by Congress in the early ’90s have taken a toll over the years on independent artists producing new work, she says. “Jesse Helms and his crew did incredible damage, and artists didn’t fight back,” Bufalino says.

That’s partly why this most American artform has prospered in places like Germany and Belgium: “They appreciate and understand us over there.”

But lately, Bufalino says, she sees a turning of the tide, a feeling that was confirmed earlier this year when tap dancer/choreographer Michelle Dorrance was awarded a 2015 MacArthur “genius” award: an achievement that would have been impossible to imagine when Bufalino was laboring to resurrect what she calls “the fine art of tap” from stereotypes of old vaudevillians and from sheer ignorance.

“There have been so many revivals and now there are so many dancers and they’re good and they’ll carry on. And with Michelle winning a MacArthur – well, that’s just wonderful.”

Brenda Bufalino will perform an evening of jazz artistry at the Unison Arts & Learning Center, located at 68 Mountain Rest Road in New Paltz, on Friday, November 20 at 8 p.m. She’ll be joined there by Joe Fonda on bass and Mike Musillami on guitar. Advance tickets cost $18 for Unison members, $22 for non-members. At the door, tickets cost $20 for members, $24 for non-members.

With all the modern high-tech tools at its disposal, modern Hollywood rarely comes up with a third reel anywhere near as suspenseful as Wait until Dark, directed by Terence Young in 1967. Audrey Hepburn garnered a Best Actress Oscar nomination for her portrayal of Susy, a naïve-but-resourceful blind woman who is stalked by three criminals after her husband inadvertently brings home a doll stuffed with heroin from a business trip.

The climactic sequence, in which the most ruthless of the trio, played by Alan Arkin, is lurking in the couple’s apartment while the husband is away, is as tense a

BERG’S LULU FROM THE MET: LIVE IN HD THIS SUNDAY AT THE BARDAVON

U

nfinished and never produced in his lifetime because the Nazis considered the 12-tone school of music decadent, Lulu is one of Alban Berg’s two operatic masterpieces, along with Wozzeck. The Metropolitan Opera’s recent production of Lulu, helmed by William Kentridge, hits the big screen at the Bardavon 1869 Opera House in Poughkeepsie this Sunday, November 22 via the magic of The Met: Live in HD. James Levine conducts one of the operas with which he is most identified, and the title role – the musical embodiment of the term “femme fatale� – is interpreted by Marlis Petersen. Susan Graham sings the Countess Geschwitz, with Daniel Brenna, Paul Groves, John Reuter and Franz Grundheber among the men who fall victim to Lulu’s charms.

The screening begins at 1 p.m., and ticketholders are invited to join Leslie Gerber for a pre-show talk at 12:30. Tickets for Lulu cost $27 general admission, $25 for Bardavon members and $20 for children age 12 and under. They can be purchased at the Bardavon box office at 35 Market Street in Poughkeepsie, (845) 473-2072; the Ulster Performing Arts Center box office at 601 Broadway in Kingston, (845) 339-6088; or through Ticketmaster at (800) 745-3000 or www.ticketmaster.com.

Edgar 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

6 and directed them, accompanied by musical interludes. The New York Times described this Broadway production as â&#x20AC;&#x153;a glowing theater experienceâ&#x20AC;ŚA brooding and loving American folk poem brought to life on a stageâ&#x20AC;? and the New York Post called it â&#x20AC;&#x153;an evening of astonishingly stirring emotional satisfaction.â&#x20AC;?

Now celebrating its 100th anniversary, Spoon River Anthology will open at SUNYUlsterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Masters became persona non grata.

People said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say that! Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my mother youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking about!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; 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,â&#x20AC;? says Cattabiani. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The irony is that Masters published 50 volumes of poetry and fiction, and this is the only one heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s remembered for.â&#x20AC;?

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new president Alan P. Roberts) as well more than 20 students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are 75 characters, 93 costume changes, 121 light cues, 54 music cues â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and all of it comes together and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re having a wonderful time. The parts each person plays are like beads on a string or a necklace, strung together with musical interludes,â&#x20AC;? says Cattabiani, who massaged the play a bit to suit the talents of the school community of actors and musicians. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Aidman suggested music, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve tripled it in our production, using a wide selection of traditional folksongs, Americana and classical music.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

The play, which opened Off-Broadway in 2013, will be presented as a staged reading by TheaterSounds this Saturday, November 21 at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of the Catskills.

St. Germain himself will take part, with the lead role read by Nicola Sheara.

The performance begins at 7:30 p.m., with admission by donation. The Unitarian Universalist Congregation of the Catskills is located at 320 Sawkill Road, 1.5 miles north of Washington Avenue and 1.5 miles south of Route 209 in Kingston.

In 1939, a diminutive 10-year-old German girl named Karola Ruth Siegel was sent via the Kindertransport to an orphanage in Switzerland after the Nazis arrested her Orthodox Jewish father. She eventually made her way to Jerusalem, fought as a sniper and scout for the Haganah in the Israeli War of Independence and was seriously wounded by an exploding shell. In the 1950s she emigrated to Paris to pursue a degree in Psychology and to then New York, where she struggled to complete her education as a single mother. She still lives in the same Washington Heights apartment where she raised her two kids, but we all know her today for her heavy accent, her sly humor and her frank and wise advice as America’s best-loved radio sex therapist, Dr. Ruth Westheimer.

MUSIC Cocksure’s splendid isolation Laura Stevenson, power-pop’s own Frederic Chopin, comes to BSP in Kingston this Friday

T

he first wave of critics weighing in on Laura Stevenson’s vibrant and surprising new pop/rock record Cocksure are all a-flutter about its confessional candor, its sustained tone of self-indictment, its publicly processed expiations.

You’d think that, at NYU, these boys would have learned the difference between persona and a person. They might back off a bit on the Laura-Stevensonlays-it-all-bare angle and give the artist some credit for crafting the surreal micropsychology of these songs and not just tapping her wrists with her very agile and quick-witted pen. But a critic’s credulity is selective and expedient. Unfiltered and artless confession has always made a better story than what they used to call imagination.

Most of the kerfuffle centers on the first line of the advance single “Jellyfish,” one of the best among Cocksure’s embarrassment of concise and hypermelodic pop delights: “I’m fucking hideous and spiteful when left to my devices,” she sings. Well, maybe she is; but what about the very next line?

“I soak my tentacles in ice baths.” I’m going to go out on a limb and suggest that Laura didn’t actually do that. Her taste for inscrutable symbolism is every bit as prominent on Cocksure as the exhibitionist bloodletting. It’s the ducking and thatching

of these two tendencies – one toward raw self-disclosure, the other toward opaque language and jarring images of a Jungian sort – that give the lyrics their curious, so-closebut-so-far texture.

But melody drives this bus, and that might be the best way to understand Stevenson’s lyrical strategies. She is power-pop’s own Frederic Chopin, a melody writer whose tunes are rendered in far more pixels per square inch than yours or mine.

She hears the notes between the notes. Her melodic phrases are so purposeful and so finely graded that they dictate the grammar of her lyrics, accounting for much of their associative and disjunctive feel. And, like Elliott Smith – another one of pop’s most tuneful bloodletters – she just happens to have the verbal resources and imagination to keep pace with the somewhat-astonishing

Stevenson’s coming out has a bit of a glint in its eye, if not a wink, implicitly recognizing that confessional candor is a form of braggadocio, selfloathing is vanity too and despair is the other white meat.

exactitude of her melodies.

Stevenson likes to create stylistic daisy chains between her records. Her third, 2013’s Wheel, began with a kind of Appalachian chamber-folk song: the only track on that collection of dark rock epics that fits that description.

Cocksure opens with “Out with a Whimper,” a dynamic country/ grunge waltz and the only song on the record that recalls the stormy Americana rock of Wheel. It’s “old me, meet the new me,” and the next two tracks – “Torch Song” and the aforementioned “Jellyfish” – introduce the buoyant, crunchy guitar-pop and the delirious melodicism that prevail the rest of the way.

As the band assembled to craft these zippy and eventful arrangements, it is not hard to imagine that one of their keywords was “nineties.” The alt decade is in evidence all over the place and in many expressions. The punchy two minutes and change of “Emily in Half ” are just daring someone to script a brooding ’90s teen sitcom pilot by that name, with a winning theme song already in hand.

“Claustrophobe” is the most overtly referential track on the record, and the reference is early Weezer. The basement thrash/pop of “Happier, Etc.” proudly displays Stevenson’s well-known pop/ punk club affiliation. And, in the true spirit of the grunge decade, Cocksure’s handful of change-of-pace ballads – the ambient, tom-tom-driven “Ticker Tape” and the ’50s vocal pop miniature “Fine Print” (two of my very favorites) – are amongst the most warped and twisted thematically.

Mike Campbell, guitarist Peter Naddeo, keyboardist and accordionist Alex Billig and drummer Sammi Niss – hit the studio for these sessions right on the heels of consecutive US and European tours, and Cocksure rocks and purrs with the easy confidence of a cocksure live band. The miracle, now as ever, is how Stevenson’s tiny acrobat of a singing voice manages to stay in focus on top of the band’s heavy New Wave/punk/power-pop moorings.

The juxtaposition of buoyant and tuneful rocking and lyrical themes of elective isolation, withdrawal and penance is what most people first notice about this exceptional record. Song after song, Stevenson’s personae shutter themselves indoors and decline life and connection, phobes more agora- than claustro-. But Cocksure’s title is not merely ironic.

Stevenson’s coming out has a bit of a glint in its eye, if not a wink, implicitly recognizing that confessional candor is a form of braggadocio, self-loathing is vanity too and despair is the other white meat. Ultimately, we don’t have to decide whether this record is confessional catharsis or about it; suffice it to say that there is plenty of art as well in all this raw and unbearably catchy self-reproach.

Laura Stevenson and her band (without drummer Sammi Niss, who is on healthrelated hiatus) perform at BSP in Kingston on Friday, November 21. They’ll be sharing the bill with the prolific modern indierock institution Matt Pond PA, who are on a farewell tour. The show begins at 8 p.m. Tickets cost $15 in advance and $18 at the door. Advance tickets are available at Outdated and Rocket Number Nine in Kingston, Jack’s Rhythms in New Paltz, Darkside Records in Poughkeepsie and the Woodstock Music Shop.

Brooklyn Rider

CONCERT

BROOKLYN RIDER STRING QUARTET PERFORMS THIS SUNDAY IN RHINEBECK

T

he string quartet Brooklyn Rider’s conscious bid to energize serious chamber music and amp its popular appeal begins with the simple decision to play standing – except of course for cellist Eric Jacobsen, who plays on a height-equalizing riser. In their physical manner, they express, whirl and convulse about as much as their exacting material will allow (which is to say, not all that much). Their repertoire is inclusive and demonstrative, featuring much of the suddenly-accessible-again work of living composers as well as string-quartet standards by Beethoven and Debussy and plenty of non-canonical music and genre crossbreeds. They are young(ish), attractive (ish), low-gluten, dresseddown in their fashion and world-class in their chops.

The time couldn’t be better for what is, in actuality, a quite modest and dignified appeal for crossover interest (barring that one Mephistophelean blue-fog photo on their homepage). The Brooklyn Riders have seized on a phrase from a Pittsburgh Gazette review – “Beethoven-goes-indie” – and promoted it to a headline and implied mission statement. But in reality such boroughmates and indie stars as the Dirty Projectors, St. Vincent, the Punch Brothers and others have been leading this “indie/chamber” development from the other side of the collision for quite a while, credibly blurring the lines between smart, expensive-school rock and serious chamber music.

There was a time when “indie” meant elective musical naïveté and sloth, intellectually fertilized in the Cultural Studies Departments – not the Music Departments – of those expensive schools. Now, more often than not it seems to mean music degrees from Yale, Berklee and SUNY-Purchase and one exquisite sui generis art song after another. The word “prog” is anathema to this crowd, but in truth that is the tradition that so much BK Indie rightly belongs in, smartly repositioned for the post-Deconstruction age. There is barely any distinction anymore, much less brow-war animosity, between Brooklyn pop and Brooklyn high art. In these mean streets, they sample Berg.

So – even though they don’t play up the revolutionary rhetoric much at all – the Brooklyn Rider crossover ruse strikes me as perhaps a little thin; but the music doesn’t. No, no: This is a beautiful and daring ensemble and one whose tours just happen to make stops at the City Winery and NPR’s Tiny Desk, as well as the familiar halls and galleries of the serious music establishment. And their fiery interpretations of a broad, self-defined canon are welcomed and well-received wherever they go, which speaks well of us all.

The Rhinebeck Chamber Music Society presents the Brooklyn Rider String Quartet at 3 p.m. on Sunday, November 22 at the beautiful Church of the Messiah in Rhinebeck. The program, we are told, will be announced from the stage. Tickets cost $25 general admission, $5 for students, and are available at http://rhinebeckmusic.org.

Fisher Center for the Performing Arts at Bard College presents an evening of Ethiopian pop music with the Debo Band in the LUMA Theater on Thursday, November 19 at 8 p.m. Since its inception in 2006, the Boston-based Debo has won raves for its groundbreaking take on the golden age of Ethiopian music, incorporating traditional scales and vocal styles alongside American soul and funk rhythms, with instrumentation reminiscent of Eastern European brass bands. The New York Times describes it as “fierce, jagged, complex and galvanizing music. With a beefy horn section, biting violins and a lead singer with a convincing Ethiopian quaver, the group brought back a live version of a style that was never recorded as vividly.”

Tickets cost $15 and can be ordered online at http://fishercenter.bard.edu or by calling the box office at (845) 758-7900.

Sarah McLachlan

MUSIC

Sarah McLachlan to play UPAC

S

arah McLachlan has spent more than two decades at the top of the recording industry and sold over 40 million albums to date. The Canadian-born singer, songwriter and pianist earned a gold record for her sophomore release, Solace, and from her early rise to stardom until today, she has attracted multiple Grammy and Juno Awards and legions of loyal fans. Her latest recording, Shine On, was released in 2014 and inspired by the death of her father; it won a Juno Award earlier this year for Adult Contemporary Album of the Year. Expect to be deeply moved by McLachlan’s poignant original ballads, lovely piano-playing and stunning vocal range when she appears on Sunday, November 29, at 7:30 p.m. at the Ulster Performing Arts Center in Kingston.

McLachlan channeled her frustration with radio stations and concert promoters who didn’t feature women musicians enough into founding the Lilith Fair. It attracted two million concertgoers from 1997 to 1999 and was the most successful all-female music festival in history, raising $7 million for charities.

Her passion for philanthropy and high-quality music education has led her to support many worthy causes since the 1990s. She founded the Sarah McLachlan School of Music to serve at-risk and underserved youth (grades four to 12) in Vancouver. The school offers a wide variety of music programs, ranging from instrumental instruction to music/video production, deejaying and electronic music.

“I don’t know what I would have done without music in my life when I was growing up,” she writes. “I was unpopular and picked on, but for me, music was my refuge and solace – the one thing I knew I was good at; it fed me and kept me going.” And of course, she and her music are the heartrending stars of American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals television advertisements that have helped to raise $30 million since they began to air nearly a decade ago.

Dance party with Eric Redd Movement at Bearsville this Friday

Decades of touring, recording, writing music and producing ensued: Redd has worked alongside artists as diverse as K. D. Lang, Coolio, Sheena Easton, Ani DiFranco, Salt & Pepa, Lionel Richie, Cirque de Soleil, the Pointer Sisters and Stevie Wonder (for whom he served as opening act at Barack Obama’s 2013 Inaugural Ball). He has been featured in national productions of Dreamgirls, Cats and Body and Soul; and he served as music supervisor for the Black Entertainment Network.

But, Redd says, “I’ve never gotten to do shows with my own band, which merges R & B with dance music, and it’s time now. It’s on fire!” And he hopes to “keep it goin’” at the Bearsville Theater with a 2016 residency. “We just met with the owners, and we’re talking about full-on dance parties – because this town needs it!”

The Eric Redd Movement is Eric Redd (vox/dance), Danny Blume (guitar), Zachary Alford (drums), Kyle Esposito (bass), Will Bryant (keyboards) and Manuel Quintana (percussion); the opening act is Adrien Reju.

Eric Redd Movement/Adrien Reju, Friday, November 20, 9 p.m., $15/$10, Bearsville Theater, 291 Tinker Street (Route 212), Woodstock; (845) 679-4406, www.bearsvilletheater.com.

Eric Redd has lived in the Hudson Valley for about a decade, and three years ago, Amy Helm told him, “You need to do your thing up here, something dancier.” She invited him to do a song with her stepfather, Donald Fagen, at the Barn last Thanksgiving and, Redd says, “It was the start of an exciting new year.”

Not that the singer/songwriter/dancer’s life wasn’t already pretty exciting: Redd’s a potent, “Nu Old-Skool” brew of Terrence Trent D’Arby, Chic and Rick James, mixed in with his own funky fervor. He has released several acclaimed discs, and his new house/electronica fusion CD, Pure, and his club hit “Breathe,” have furthered his international reputation as a dance funkmaster. Locally, you may have been at his smokin’ show at the O+ Festival this year, or maybe you jumped up to dance when he delivered his version of “You Gotta Serve Somebody” at last spring’s Bob Dylan Birthday Celebration at Bearsville.

“People want to go out and dance. I’d see people at shows, and they couldn’t do anything except push their hands into the air. The music wasn’t inspiring them to wiggle their bums. People actually want to sweat; they want to let all their demons out on the dance floor. I give them a beat to dance to,” says Redd. “That’s my full intention: to bring people back onto the dance floor.”

Redd has been kicking it into high gear ever since age 12, when he was one of the youngest dancers on the LA club scene.

He won a scholarship to the California Institute of the Arts and earned his Bachelor’s degree in the Performing Arts.

Amanda Forsythe fronts Apollo’s Fire this Sunday at Vassar The Vassar College Music Department presents Apollo’s Fire: The Cleveland Baroque Orchestra and soprano Amanda F o r s y t h e in “The Power of Love: Passions of Handel and Vivaldi” on Sunday, November 22 at 3 p.m. in a free concert in Skinner Hall.

In this performance, the Grammywinning Vassar alumna Forsythe (Class of ’98) teams up with Apollo’s Fire to explore the passions of Baroque music. In a review of a 2014 performance, the Cleveland Plain Dealer called the concert “glorious” and “not to be topped.”

Apollo’s Fire was founded in 1992 by the award-winning conductor Jeannette Sorrell, who envisioned an ensemble dedicated to the Baroque ideal that music should evoke the various passions in the listeners. The group has released 21 CDs, many of which have become best-sellers on the Billboard classical chart, and routinely performs at sold-out venues.

The Vassar campus is located at 124 Raymond Avenue in Poughkeepsie.

dall Craig Fleischer. The performance will take place on Saturday, November 21 at 8 p.m. at the Bardavon 1869 Opera House in Poughkeepsie.

The concert features works by three of the 20th century’s most important composers, as well as an appearance by a Van Cliburn Competition-medaling pianist Sean Chen. Chen will perform Ravel’s famous Piano Concerto in G major, which was inspired by the composer’s infatuation with the music of Gershwin and his tour of America in the late 1920s and early ’30s. The program also features Bartók’s revolutionary Music for Strings, Percussion, Celesta and Sibelius’ lyrical First Symphony. Ticketholders are invited to a pre-concert talk by Maestro Fleischer and Sean Chen one hour prior to the concert.

MOVIE

James Bond (Daniel Craig) is back in Spectre

The ghosts of nemeses past Spectre takes James Bond back to his roots in a cyber-threatened future

T

here’s something oddly comforting about the 53-yearold James Bond cinematic franchise. Though the 24 movies made to date have varied wildly in quality and tone, to a certain degree you know what you’re getting in your shiny package when you sit down in your local movie theater. There will be hyperpowered, weapon-equipped cars and other vehicles driving dangerously fast, an array of clever new spy gadgets, slinky women with dark secrets, cruel, obsessive criminal masterminds with huge thuggish henchmen, sophisticated night life in exotic locales and a compelling retro-jazzy score.

There will also almost invariably be some devastatingly large explosion cued to go off and kill the primary Bond Girl if the superspy hero fails to unplug the MacGuffin by the time the clock counts down. Never once will he succeed with more than a second or two to spare. For all the high-tech sturm und drang, the

predictability of it all almost seems quaint.

But for the most part, we don’t look to Agent 007 for original ideas. His web of long-established tropes has taken on a life of its own and a firm place in moviegoers’ hearts.

That being said, the latest installment in the franchise, Sam Mendes’ Spectre, seems to be setting itself up as the urBond movie, hitting every note expected by longtime fans even while it wrings some humor out of subverting a few of those tropes. Like Skyfall before it, Spectre finds our hero (Daniel Craig) disappointed in the latest mechanical espionage aids that Q (Ben Whishaw) has to offer him.

Bond has been put in Time Out by the new M (Ralph Fiennes) for having gone on an unauthorized mission assigned him by the previous M (Judi Dench) in a posthumous video, thereby creating enough collateral damage to civilians to embarrass the agency.

But that’s not the worst of Bond’s problems: a rising British government bureaucrat called C (Andrew Scott) informs M that human spies are passé, replaceable by drone technology, and that the Double-Oh program is about to

be shut down. So when Bond finds out that MI6’s previous nemesis, Quantum, is but a subdepartment of a more enormous international organization called Spectre that has already wrapped its tentacles around a whole lot of governments, M, Q, Tanner (Rory Kinnear) and Moneypenny (Naomie Harris) must join Bond’s rogue operation in order to save the world.

Now, Spectre in the Ian Fleming books is a perennial adversary to Bond & Co., but it has not reared its ugly head in the movies in decades on account of a long-running copyright battle. Now that the ownership issues have finally been resolved, Mendes decided to celebrate the villainous organization’s return by making Spectre a sort of James Bond origin story, further spinning out threads into the past woven in Skyfall. This time the man with the license to kill doesn’t just retrace his footsteps to the home of his childhood; one old enemy leads to another until he finds a very early, once-close acquaintance (Christoph Waltz), long believed deceased, at the root of pretty much all his problems in recent years.

So, while Spectre is in many ways a shout-out to Bond’s long pop-culture

history, it also continues the trend of the three previous Craig vehicles to modernize the conception of the character somewhat.

James Bond is still a user of women, romancing and then dropping them as soon as he has extracted the information that he was after. But his trademark caddishness has been somewhat tempered by a growing respect for his female colleagues and even, in this case, for the resourcefulness of the primary Bond Girl, Dr. Madeleine Swann (Léa Seydoux), who coolly declines to fall into bed with him until after they have jointly and very vigorously overthrown a Spectre hitman on a train.

That Dr. Swann is a psychologist reinforces the somewhat psychoanalytic tendencies of the last few Bond outings, which have capitalized on Craig’s ability to afford the audience glimpses of angst, grief, regret and self-doubt through chinks in his glossy superspy coolth. He’s a subtler, less cartoonish Bond than most of us grew up with, and that adds some interest to what is otherwise essentially a retread of territories oft visited before.

And, again like Skyfall, modern concerns about cyberterrorism and the loss of privacy serve to update the Bond narrative from its Cold War origins.

mainly for their big action set pieces, you might wish that there were more of them, proportionately speaking, in Spectre, but you won’t be disappointed by their quality.

The opening sequence, using trendy long tracking shots from a rooftop viewpoint of a Day of the Dead parade in Mexico City with thousands of extras, is a visual knockout. And the aforementioned devastatingly large explosion just made the Guinness Book of World Records as the biggest in cinematic history: more proof that James Bond is da bomb. And now that he has Spectre to battle once more, he will probably always be with us, as long as there are movies.

Nina Simone, 1969.

SCREEN

Gifted & black The Amazing Nina Simone screens with director chat at Upstate Films Rhinebeck & Woodstock

W

hen the late Nina Simone first hit the music scene in the 1950s, and right through the Civil Rights movement of the ’60s, even the most anti-racist of white audiences didn’t know what to make of her. She scared them, in fact: While she could deliver a torchy, bluesy number like “Black Coffee” with the best of the jazz chanteuses of the day, what burned in her was clearly a righteous wrath that was unaccommodating, white-hot and transfigurative.

Though she sang “Mississippi Goddam” to the crowds at the end of the Selmato-Montgomery march, Simone told Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. pointblank that she was “not nonviolent” the first time that she met him. Trained as a classical pianist, she could take a Eurocentric anthem like Bertolt Brecht’s “Pirate Jenny” and turn it with ease into the cri de coeur of every black domestic worker in America.

Simone’s powerful stage presence and the growly brilliance and fire in her voice were not to be denied, so in time she came to be acknowledged as the “High Priestess of Soul,” even if commercial success mostly eluded her on these shores.

The list of performers who have cited her as a key influence is a mile long, and some of them are among the interviewees in Jeff Lieberman’s new documentary The Amazing Nina Simone, along with her brother and longtime band member Sam Waymon, her former lover Christine Dunham-Pratt, her friend the poet Nikki Giovanni and many more. The film is a deep dive into the career and persona of a complicated woman and a musical genius.

The Amazing Nina Simone film will screen at 8 p.m. this Friday, November 20 at Upstate Films Rhinebeck and again at 2 p.m. on Saturday, November 21 at Upstate Films Woodstock, with Lieberman on hand for live question-andanswer sessions following both shows. You can find out more, including a link to the trailer, at http://upstatefilms.org/?p=17601.

nostalgia would seem more forgivable were it not so…well, extended. While this reviewer for one enjoyed the shadowy, moody non-action sequences that punctuate the film – especially since the cinematography, lighting and editing are so gloriously slick – the 148-minute running time did seem excessive. I shouldn’t have had the leisure to ponder idly, whist contemplating Fiennes in closeup, how much nasal real estate needed to be hidden with CGI when he played Voldemort in the Harry Potter

movies. The narrative could’ve been tighter.

If you don’t want to fork over the nominal $6 admission charge for the 7:30 p.m. show of Edward Scissorhands this Friday, November 20 at the Ulster Performing Arts Center in Kingston, all you need to do is dress as a Misunderstood Creature, like Johnny Depp’s well-meaning-but-hazardous title character. That challenge should get some imaginations going!

Made in 1990 and widely regarded as one of the best films in the weird oeuvre of director Tim Burton, Edward Scissorhands was Depp’s first big-screen lead role. Also in the cast are Vincent Price, Winona Ryder, Dianne Wiest and Anthony Michael Hall. It’s a strange, funny and touching movie, and you get to check out all the cool costumes at this screening as well!

International Survivors of Suicide Loss Day in Kingston Some of you have lost a family member to suicide. I want to make sure that you’ve heard about International Survivors of Suicide Loss Day, organized locally by Amy Sullivan on November 21 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Resource Center for Accessible Living. I asked her to tell us about it: “International Survivors of Suicide Loss Day is a special day for folks to remember their loved one and learn ways to heal. This year’s event will be held across the globe on November 21. We will show a short documentary video that demonstrates the different ways families grieve and heal, and a trailer for the documentary is available on the website www.survivorday.org.

We will have a craft project, a writing project and a candle-lighting ceremony at the Kingston event. There will also be time for a short support group that day. Each event will have different activities for healing and hope.”

I asked Sullivan how she got involved in this organization: “I got started with American Foundation for Suicide Prevention [AFSP] in 2013 after the loss of a family member to suicide. I started going to support groups regularly and immersed myself in learning to cope with the grief and family changes. Since that time, I have joined the board for AFSP and formed a support group in Kingston. More

One of the first big holiday shows for locally originated gift ideas of an artistic nature will take place at the Tivoli Artists’ Gallery (TAG) on Saturday, November 21, from 6-8 p.m. With everything from affordably priced prints and paintings to one-of-a-kind crafts, “whimsical fancies” and even jewelry and some delectables to choose from – all from the TAG’s 40-plus members – the show runs through Sunday, December 20. It’s a big annual fundraiser for the venerable arts group that also puts on the well-known Erotica show each February around Cupid’s Day. – Paul Smart

Tivoli Artists’ Gallery Holiday Show opens this Saturday

“S

avor: A Salt & Pepper Vessel Exhibition” is a project produced by ceramics students of the School of Fine & Performing Arts at SUNY-New Paltz. The results – 14 sets of unique salt and pepper shakers worthy of artful display – are being presented

by Bluecashew Kitchen Pharmacy in Rhinebeck, with an opening reception to be held this Saturday. From 2 to 5 p.m., visitors to the shop can see work designed by BFA and MFA candidates Kayla Noble, Breana Hendricks, Sophie Cornish-Keefe, Dana Reifer, Lillian Helling, Cassandra Taylor, Abby Nohai, Jaclyn Padich, Maggie Le Flore, Rebecca Morton, Enyoung Oh, Sarah Heitmeyer, Emma Chandler and Michal Ozeri.

The project was conceived by Anat Shiftan, an associate professor of Ceramics at SUNY-New Paltz, when she realized that there is market potential for small, well-designed ceramic objects. A class called Design and Production – a baby of the 1980s that taught items like pottery and dinnerware – had became obsolete when industrial manufacturing took over the field. “It didn’t make sense to compete with factories that were imitating handmade items,” she says.

But an emerging demand for small, serial productions of high-end products piqued her interest. She challenged her students to apply the industrial techniques of production to gain experience in the

full gamut of designing, creating and marketing, and to come up with something new and different in the process.

Taking a functional object that finds its home at every dining table, they needed to think of themselves as designers who would collaborate with graphic design students to create unique branding and packaging for each set. “This mimics the real-world collaboration between creative makers who are bringing a product to market. Because art education in the university setting is often very theoretical, this project creates a unique opportunity for students to see themselves as marketers of their own designs, in the context of producing sellable work: something that many artists must confront in the term of their careers. They see their work go from storyboard concept to prototype to production to the dining table of someone

Noschese’s previous works have premiered at the Museum of Modern Art’s prestigious New Directors/New Films series and been broadcast on PBS, receiving awards and Emmy nominations.

This annual show at SUNY-New Paltz includes pieces from the museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

collection that are rarely seen but are likely to engender discussion. Benjamin served as chair of the SUNY-New Paltz Department of Political Science, presiding officer of the faculty and Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences from 1996-2008. He also chaired the Ulster County Charter Commission and is the Director & Associate Vice President for Regional Engagement at the Benjamin Center on campus.

One piece in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s show is a blackand-white photo of a woman smoking in the old Times Square Automat, circa 1956.

Another is a 1946 painting of a Resting Harlequin, partly Picassolike, partly filled with a postwar American energy about to explode into Abstract Expressionism.

The third is a raw, Grosz-inspired take on a congressional filibuster, capturing all the partisanship in our democratic traditions that we may have thought was brand-new. Now imagine how someone as bright and funny as Dr. Benjamin can talk about what he sees in all three, and 17 more such works. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Paul Smart Gerald Benjamin discusses â&#x20AC;&#x153;Reading Objectsâ&#x20AC;? exhibit, Wednesday, December 2, 12 noon, free, Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art, SUNY-New Paltz, 1 Hawk Drive, New Paltz; (845) 257-3844, www.newpaltz. edu/museum.

~The Setting~ Rosendale’s annual International Pickle Festival will be held at the Rosendale Recreation Center at 1055 Route 32 on Sunday, November 22 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

A brine time

There will be 85 vendors on-site with 20 of them devoted exclusively to pickle products. The remaining vendors include 35 selling other food products, with the rest artists and craftspeople. This year they’re emphasizing the local economy in the selection of vendors, says McGinty, with a lot of new faces from the Hudson Valley joining the festival. The pickle producers come from all over, but there was a definite effort made to bring in local producers of handcrafts and specialty foods.

The emphasis is on the pickles and the food, but there will also be contests of various sorts – pickle-judging, picklejuice-drinking, pickle-tossing in teams – and live entertainment, including the Rosendale Main Street Improvement Association Brass Band and Social Club and the Gold Hope Duo featuring Lara Hope. Rosendale’s own hula-hoop performers, Centrifugal Force, will be on hand, as will Amadou Diallo, master drummer from Senegal, West Africa.

Ample parking is available, but carpooling is suggested given the crowds expected.

Celebrate Rosendale’s 18th International Pickle Festival this Sunday at Rec Center

I

f it’s the Sunday before Thanksgiving, it must be time for pickles.

And not just your garden-variety cucumber dill and sweet pickles, but deep-fried pickles, chocolatecovered pickles, pickled jalapenos and pickle ice cream. No, this isn’t a new Thanksgiving dinner side dish, but Rosendale’s annual International Pickle Festival. This year’s event will be held at the Rosendale Recreation Center at 1055 Route 32 on Sunday, November 22 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission costs $5 per person and is free for kids.

As many as 7,000 people are expected to attend the 18th annual affair. Rosendale Chamber of Commerce president Sara McGinty points out that this means the town’s population effectively doubles for the day. The Chamber has long assisted with the event, but this year more so than before in order to take some of the work off the shoulders of Pickle Festival founder Bill Brooks, who originated the event in 1998. Brooks is also the town historian of Rosendale.

Funds raised always go right back into the Rosendale community, says McGinty.

In past years the festival has benefited the Pool Fund, Wallkill Valley Land Trust for the trestle, Rosendale Theatre, local Lions Club, Boy Scouts, Food Pantry,

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

Fruit of the ages The medieval medlar requires bletting to be palatable

“A

crabby-looking, brownish-green truncated little spheroid of unsympathetic appearance.”

That’s how a British writer of almost 75 years ago described one of my favorite fruits: the medlar (Mespilus germanica). True, the fruit is no beauty to some eyes. To me, the fruit has an authentic, old-fashioned, unvarnished look to it, like that of a small russeted apple whose

calyx end (opposite the stem) is flared open.

Medlar is truly an old-fashioned fruit, whose popularity peaked in the Middle Ages. Chaucer mentioned it, indecorously referring to it as “open arse.”

Even Shakespeare got his digs in, more discreetly calling it “open et cetera.”

This past season was a good season for fruits, including medlar. Yesterday I harvested the crop from the leafless tree. But no, I couldn’t yet sink my teeth into one. Besides its odd appearance, medlar has one more quirk: The fruit needs to be bletted before being eaten.

During the bletting process, at cool room temperatures for a couple of weeks, the white, rock-hard interior of the fruit turns to brown mush – a delectable brown mush, much like a very rich applesauce with winy overtones.

Past writers have also gotten their digs in mocking the required bletting, as if it were akin to rotting. But banana, avocado and European pears also require post-harvest softening before they are ready to eat – admittedly, not softening and browning, which might look like rot, but actually, with medlar, indicates an increase in sweetness and a decrease in acids and tannins. British wine connoisseur George Saintsbury considered medlar the ideal

fruit to accompany wine; D. H. Lawrence considered medlars “wineskins of brown morbidity.”

I like the fruit, and look forward to drawing out the season by refrigerating portions to delay bletting.

Whether or not the fruit is considered ugly and uncouth, the medlar plant has much to recommend it. It’s the perfect multi-use tree for a small yard.

Where space is limited, there’s no need to choose between whether to plant an ornamental or a fruit tree, because medlar is both. The elbowed contortions of the branches – more evident now that the plant has dropped its leaves – lend an air of rusticity. Come spring, white blossoms, each a couple of inches across and every bit as showy as a wild rose, unfold after the plant has pushed out a few inches of growth. A whorl of dark green leaves behind each flower contrasts and frames the blossom.

Each of those blossoms will generally morph into a fruit. No additional tree is needed for pollination: another plus for small yards. And this is a small tree, so fits well into a small yard. My tree, in rich soil and over ten years old, is only about eight feet high and wide.

For more on the history, cultivation and varieties of medlar, see the chapter on this fruit in my book Uncommon Fruits for Every Garden.

As I walked back to my medlar tree, harvest basket in hand, other fruit plants – my blueberry bushes – caught my attention, these solely for their beauty. Blueberries offer some kind of “eye candy” in every season, with sprays of urn-shaped white flowers in spring and slightly bluish green leaves that look spry all season long.

Autumn is blueberry’s showiest season, when the leaves usually come alive with a crimson color that rivals that of burning bush, a shrub grown solely for its autumn show. This month, the blueberry bushes look finer than they ever have, with some of each bush sporting golden-yellow leaves, some orange leaves and some crimson leaves.

I’m going to attribute this year’s blueberry spectacular to the weather.

Leaves’ crimson color is due to anthocyanins, which need sugars to develop. Warm, sunny days foster photosynthesis and sugar production, but the relatively warm nights of this season burn up those sugars. Carotenoids are responsible for the oranges and yellows of leaves. They’re always present, and my theory is that, with warm nights, less anthocyanin was present to mask them.

Even after leaf drop, blueberries have something to offer visually, when cold weather turns the stems red (perhaps less this year because of fewer anthocyanins?).

This winter, I’ll enjoy whatever the plants have to offer – along with last season’s

Family of New Paltz Turkey Trot launches chip timing for 5K race this Thanksgiving

The New Paltz Turkey Trot benefiting Family’s food pantries and crisis programs is about to celebrate its 12th outing on Thursday, November 26, rain or shine, warm or cold. As many as 1,000 runners and walkers have participated at times, and many keep on coming back. “It’s like a big reunion spot,” says founder/organizer Suzanne Holt. “It’s a great, healthy way to start Thanksgiving and be a part of our community.”

This year, for the first time, there will be Best Costume prizes, along with the usual awards in the 5K race for the male and female first-, second- and third-place runner in each five-year age category.

The awards will be created by local artist Solveig Comer.

Also new for 2015, according to Holt, “You have the option of chip timing, and for the first time it’s got USATF [USA Track & Field] certification.” The computer chip will be attached to the runner’s bib, and everyone who registers by the November 23 deadline for the timed race will also automatically have his or her downloadable picture taken at the Finish Line at the Water Street Market.

Entry in the half-mile Mashed Potato Run on the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail for kids up to 7 years of age, which starts at 9 a.m., is free. Registrants in the chip-timed 5K race, which starts at 9:30 a.m., pay $25 if they’re age 10 or over; 8- and 9-yearolds pay $15. At 9:35 the untimed 5K Fun Run/Walk begins, following the same course as the “serious” runners: south on Water Street to Plains Road, returning to the Water Street Market via the Rail Trail. These more casual runners, walkers and strollers pay $20 for age 10 and up, $10 for ages 8 and 9 if they register by November 23. Registrants after that date pay $25 and $10.

There will be registration at the Water Street Market beginning at 8 a.m. on race day. Earlier registration can be done online at http://newpaltzturkeytrot. itsyourrace.com or in person at the Jewish Community Center, located at 30 North Chestnut Street, from 12 noon to 6 p.m. on Wednesday, November 25.

NIGHT SKY

I returned to the Moon Want to join me?

M

y first look at the Moon through binoculars changed my life. I was maybe nine years old. The reality of its craters and mountains, the whole thing was just astonishing. But somehow, when we built Overlook Observatory in 1982, the Moon got short shrift. We were too busy showing off distant galaxies, nebulae and clusters. The Moon seemed too ordinary, I guess.

No more. After installing a new incredible secondary telescope and also sprucing up the observatory in various ways, I’ve returned to the Moon, only to be amazed all over again. We’re mentioning it this week because the months of very low optimum Moons have now ended. This coming week is among the best. That’s because the sideways illumination from the Sun now maximally reveals mountain ranges and craters and other lunar detail; plus, the seven-to-11-day-old Moon is no longer low like it is in summer. Even inexpensive optics seem impressive when the Moon is the target.

I also neglected the Moon when it came to memorizing stuff. I had a lifetime obsession with knowing by heart the names and distances of all the stars, all the planets’ inclinations and so on. But I could only recognize a dozen lunar craters, a few maria and just a single lunar mountain range. Now I’m having so much fun, as the optimum illumination slithers over the lunar surface at ten miles per hour and new features emerge night by night, learning the names of wondrous features about which I’ve been ignorant all these many years.

I think next spring I’ll offer a “Moon Night” at the observatory for our readers. It’s just too good not to share. But meanwhile, if you have any old telescope lying around, make the Moon the target this weekend. Even steadily braced binoculars are better than nothing. Look for the mountain range that’s just above dead center: These are the lunar Apennines. By Sunday evening, they curve to the left and aim at a stunning crater, the terraced Copernicus.

Notice how the bottom or south part of the Moon is a jumbled mass of countless craters. Some 30,000 are visible from Earth, and this is where most of them live. It’s not

Look for the mountain range that’s just above dead center: These are the lunar Apennines.

Entertainment at the Water Street Market will be provided by Fuzzy Lollipop. “They sing ‘We Are Family’ for the Turkey Trot every year,” says Holt. “By the time people arrive, they’re playing.” Carl Welden will emcee the proceedings, and Garvan McCloskey will host the awards ceremony.

“Family really relies on this as one of their big fundraisers,” adds Holt. The New Paltz Health & Nutrition Center and Kniffen Homes are this year’s major underwriters of the Turkey Trot.

Kingston’s Turkey Trot supports Junior League’s Little Free Library campaign Love the excuse to eat all sorts of rich comfort food on Thanksgiving, but hate the idea of all the weight that you usually put on each year as we head into hibernation season? You’re not alone; and that’s why the concept of Turkey Trot races is catching on all over the place. Start your Thanksgiving Day with a 5K run or a brisk walk, and you get a pass to enjoy your ritual dinner guilt-free on the caloric front.

One of the relative newcomers on the local Turkey Trot bandwagon is Kingston, whose third annual outing kicks off from Dietz Stadium at 9 a.m. on Thursday, November 26, and ends at Forsyth Park.

It’s organized by the Junior League of Kingston, which offers the extra incentive of the event being a fundraiser for its campaign to install Little Free Libraries all over town. These are freestanding structures like big birdhouses where people can “Take a book, leave a book.”

The registration fee to support this worthy cause is $20 per runner or $60 for a family of four, whether you’re participating in the 5K race or the Two-Mile Fun Run/Walk.

Day-of registration begins at 8 a.m. at Forsyth Park, located on Lucas Avenue.

The Turkey Trot goes on rain or shine, with free parking available at Dietz Stadium. You can preregister online at www.active.com/kingston-ny/running/ distance-running-races/turkey-trot-2015, or pick up a registration form at the Dietz Stadium Diner, Academy General Insurance, MAC Fitness or the Bank of Greene County. For more info call (845) 481-3534, e-mail turkeytrot@ juniorleaguekingston.org or visit www. facebook.com/events/596653677140485.

Phoenicia Turkey Trot raises funds for Rotary Club with a Saturday post-Thanksgiving workout Now in its fifth year, Phoenicia’s annual Turkey Trot is a great calorieburning option for folks with way too much to do in the kitchen on Thanksgiving morning to go for a run. It happens on the Saturday morning following the holiday, November 28, rain or

that this section was struck by more meteors than the rest of the Moon; it’s that these are the Highlands that managed not to get inundated by flowing lava four billion years ago. These objects were never engulfed. They remain the oldest lunar features.

Check out the vast dark smooth regions, the so-called seas or maria. These are the blotches that stand out to the naked eye. Through telescopes, you see very few craters on them. But the ones that are there represent the most recent lunar impacts. In short, you can read the Moon like a book.

It’s a book whose every page brims with new delights. Sure, most of their ages have birthdays in the billions of years, not millions. Doesn’t matter; they’re new to me.

shine.

The main event is a 2.4-mile “fun run, ramble, trot, walk or wobble,” which seems accommodating enough even to those of us nursing a two-day tryptophan (or wine) hangover from our Turkey Day pigout (dogs are not invited). Go for a brisk jog on Saturday, and all those leftovers in the fridge will take on fresh appeal! And the event benefits the good works of the Rotary Club of Phoenicia.

The Fun Run begins at 10 a.m., a shorter Tot Trot for kids aged 5 and under at 9:30.

Day-of registration, with fees of $15 per individual and $25 per family, happens from 8 to 9:45 a.m. at the Parish Hall on Main Street in Phoenicia. Or you can preregister, at $10 per person or $20 per family, at www.runreg.com/phoeniciaturkey-trot0. Entry in the Tot Trot is free.

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.

Spirituality

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.
