morial Park. “The Hooley’s focus every year is on family. It’s a free, safe and endlessly entertaining venue for families and friends to get together before the school year starts,” says Jim Carey, president of the Ancient Order of Hibernians (AOH), Con Colbert Woulfe Division 1, Ulster County, the event’s sponsor.

The waterfront park lies just downhill from the Abeel Street site designated for the Irish Cultural Center, whose plans are currently undergoing zoning review by the City of Kingston. “The Rondout historically holds special meaning for the Irish,” Carey explains. “It was here that the Irish immigrants landed, more than a century ago now, to escape poverty and starvation, political oppression and religious persecution in our homeland.

They arrived at Rondout Creek to work on the D & H Canal: hard, dirty work.”

Though there are few left alive today who remember the days when the Irish were among the more recently arrived (and therefore widely despised) waves of immigration, negative stereotypes still persist in popular culture, such as the pugnacious “Fighting Irish” mascot of the University of Notre Dame’s varsity sports teams. Perhaps that’s partly why some Rondout residents and businessowners have expressed concerns about potential noise and other impacts from the Cultural Center’s arrival.

The Hooley on the Hudson is known largely for its music and dance offerings on three stages. National acts the Andy Cooney Band, the Canny Brothers and Get up Jack will headline on the Tara Stage, while the Feeney Stage hosts local talent, including the Wild Irish Roses, the Ulster County AOH Division 1 Pipes & Drum Band, the Little Creek Band and Alternative Ulster.

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

Vine & dandy

W

Mixing fast- and slow- growers yields shade now & later

hen I began, many years ago, to heat my home with wood, I struggled to get the driest possible wood, finally building a 60-foot-long woodshed, beneath which a double row of logs basked in the direct hit of sunlight from the south. I more recently learned that firewood can be too dry, which is when moisture drops below 15 to 20 percent. Bonedry wood can’t get enough oxygen for a clean, efficient burn, so smoke – within which is locked the potential for rendering additional heat – is produced; pump enough oxygen into the mix, though, and you get an inferno that can damage a woodstove.

So (and here’s the plant-related part), rather than tear down or put siding on my super-drying woodshed, I put some heat-loving vines to climb and provide some shade on the south face. Sections of hog-fencing temporarily hung on hooks

just below the roof in front of each of the 8 foot bays support the vines.

Maypop, Passiflora incarnata, is an ideal candidate for this location. It’s an herbaceous perennial, emerging early each June to grow vigorously into lanky vines ten or more feet long. Maypop is a hardy species of passionflower, and a few weeks after emerging, the intricate blue or white blossoms unfold along the stems.

Flowers would be enough, but there’s more. A few weeks later, those flowers morph into egg-shaped fruits: tropical passionfruits this far north.

In the southeastern US, maypop, with its spreading root system, is considered a weed. This far north, maypop will enjoy the extra heat of the microclimate at the south face of the woodshed. The woodshed itself will contain the plant in its travel northward. The lawnmower will contain the plant in its travel southward.

Let it spread all it wants east and west along the base of the shed.

Morning glories have started lingering later into the mornings: a sign that autumn is approaching.

LEE REICH | ALMANAC WEEKLY

Passiflora incarnata, Maypop. In the southeastern US, maypop, with its spreading root system, is considered a weed.

In spring I planted a maypop plant at the foot of four of the woodshed bays.

As a perennial, maypop needs time to get established. Because I went to the trouble of hanging a trellis from each of the bays, I wanted something to clothe them even this summer.

Enter the Convolvulaceae family, which counts morning glory among its kin. Less-known, but also kin, and vines with pretty flowers, are cardinal vine and moonflower. I figured that some member of this family could accompany maypop in each planting hole.

All three Convolvulaceae family

members grow vigorously, so could provide good coverage for the woodshed.

They also integrate well with each other, designwise. Morning glory wakes up early, its sky-blue flowers opening each morning to foreshadow the blue sky that lies ahead.

(The flowers remain furled under overcast skies.) Once the sun rises high in the sky, fire-engine-red flowers of cardinal vine take the torch for the remainder of the day.

As night falls, moonflowers’ large white trumpets open and emit their sweet scent.

This year, those annual vines grew so vigorously that they stunted their companion maypops. Next year will be better. Also, a couple of plants of another

NIGHT SKY

The don’t-miss triangle Very cool sky stuff made easy

T

onight, or the first clear night, face south between 8:30 and 9 p.m. Rather low in that direction is a striking triangle: three bright stars. You can’t miss it. Rarely is astronomy this easy. You don’t even have to know which direction is south, because there’s no small bright triangle of stars anywhere else in the

heavens.

The leftmost star is the brightest, and has an obvious orange color. This is the planet Mars. It came closest to us in May, and it’s still very bright. It will of course be the first planet that humans visit. It has the only surface with a reasonable temperature.

Mars comes near to us every 26 months. For about 12 of those, the “Red Planet” is bright and obvious, and we are still in that period. But it’s fading rapidly, and will keep dimming steadily throughout the fall and winter. When it comes back to glory in 2018, it will be simply dazzling. For now, don’t bother pointing a telescope its way; its disk is currently too small to show any detail. Just check it out with the naked eye – that’s plenty good enough.

To the right of Mars is another orange star. This one’s a real star: the famous Antares, the brightest star of Scorpius the scorpion. It may be the largest bright star in the heavens, though that honor probably belongs to Orion’s Betelgeuse. Legend has it that the hunter killed the scorpion, and the gods mercifully decided to keep them forever separated. Thus the two constellations are never visible at the same time; they’re on opposites sides of the firmament.

Every few years, a more refined measurement of star distances makes us think that Antares is the largest bright star. Fans of each distant sun have been cheering on their favorite supergiant for years. But at the moment, it seems that Betelgeuse is slightly bigger. Still, if you built a scale model in which our planet Earth is the period at the end of this sentence, then Antares would be a ball as tall as a 14-story building.

The final star in the triangle, the topmost one, is the planet Saturn. This is where to point your telescope. It is certainly among the five best celestial splendors. And since many people have telescopes of all sizes gathering dust and simply don’t know where to aim them, here’s where.

This year, the rings are angled in a wide-open position, farthest from edgewise. Their orientation is perfect. Saturn is glorious. The only trick is that to see all the juicy detail, like the inky-black separation between its wider B ring and its darker and narrower A ring, requires steady air.

Around here, steady air arrives when conditions are a bit hazy, meaning humid. As I write this, the forecast for Thursday through Sunday is for wonderfully crisp conditions, with dewpoints in the 40s or low 50s. That’s fabulous for seeing lots of stars, but usually causes twinkling and blurriness through telescopes. So before you bother lugging out the instrument, see if the stars are twinkling. If they are, don’t bother, because Saturn will be a blurry mess.

But don’t miss the triangle. Night after night, Mars speedily moves to the left against the background stars. This is its actual eastward orbital motion, at 15 miles per second.

vine, native and somewhat decorative, have tried to get a foothold in the planting.

Poison ivy, you’re not welcome here.

Morning glories have started lingering later into the mornings: a sign that autumn is approaching. I’m also getting signals – a softness in the air and an occasional chill, a slight chill – of autumn’s approach. Those signals do not have me lingering late in the morning, though.

The imminence of autumn has me scurrying around making sure that all is copacetic in the weeks to come and on into next year. Turnips and winter radishes have been thinned. Cabbage (Chinese and European) transplants are growing well, hinting at crocks of kimchi and sauerkraut to come. Onions have been harvested and woven into ropes for storage – now in the garage, later in the basement.

Any cleared vegetable bed is given a thorough weeding and then an icing of

an inch depth of compost. That compost will snuff out small weeds attempting to sprout below. Additionally, it will feed soil microbes, which will, in turn, feed plants for at least a year. I’ll sow arugula, mustard greens and “spring” radishes in the bed that I recently cleared of sweet corn, weeded and composted.

A couple of sites have been prepared for two new trees. “Prepared” is too fancy a word; all I did was pile mulch on the ground at both locations. The mulch will kill existing vegetation and leave soft, moist ground for easy planting in October.

Autumn will be bountiful, and next year will be a good year.

Don’t Breathe is a tense, well-made low-budget thriller

emember when the original version of Psycho came out, and was considered so shockingly violent? Yet if you do a frame-by-frame breakdown of the murder scene that gave millions of viewers a phobia of taking showers, you realize that at no point do you see a shot of Anthony Perkins’ butcher knife piercing Janet Leigh’s flesh. You see a hand rise and fall, the actress’ screaming face, blood spattering the tiles and pooling around her toes. But mostly it’s the jagged jump-cut editing and Bernard Herrmann’s pounding, screeching score that carry the weight of the terror. And it totally works. Alfred Hitchcock certainly

knew what he was doing.

If you’re a fan of old-school suspense/ psychological horror films that honor the ability of the human imagination to fill in the blanks, you’ve had precious little to enjoy onscreen in recent decades.

Since the onset of the “splatter movie” subgenre, younger audiences have come to expect levels of gore and dissection that are explicit enough to teach an anatomy class. But at some point, a filmmaker can no longer out-gruesome the last most gruesome stomach-turner about deranged and vengeful guys wielding chainsaws or whatever.

That threshold was apparently reached

by Uruguayan director Fede Álvarez when he rebooted Sam Raimi’s Evil Dead franchise in 2013, purportedly utilizing a record-breaking quantity of stage blood in its creation. So, with Raimi as producer, he decided to make his next scary feature a home-invasion tale with a big twist or two, relying more on good old-fashioned suspense than on graphic limb-hacking.

The result is Don’t Breathe, and it’s about as close to an art-house horror flick as we’re likely to see anytime soon. In fact, it’s pretty well-made for its kind – and on a modest production budget, as well.

suspense classic is Audrey Hepburn as a blind woman turning the tables on a murderous stalker in her own home in Wait until Dark, you’ll recognize the premise of Don’t Breathe. On a street lined with abandoned homes in Detroit, the only house still occupied belongs to a blind Gulf War veteran (Stephen Lang) who, rumor has it, won a very large cash settlement after his daughter was killed in a drunk driving incident. He’s the next target of a posse of teenage burglars who are trying to fence enough stolen property to get out of town and make a new start someplace less hopeless. But the Blind Man still PG has his combat reflexes, a vicious Rottweiler and more secrets in his labyrinthine dwelling than a mere safe full of cash, and the three young intruders soon find that they’ve bitten off more than they can chew. A man’s home is his castle, they say, and the subterranean levels of

some castles have chambers that are best avoided.

In some ways this is a formulaic scaryhouse thriller, with characters wise enough to say “I think we should leave now” being predictably ignored and a fair share of the requisite not-quite-dead-corpse jump-scares that tend to make audiences scream and laugh at the same time. The twisty part has to do with the way that Álvarez toys with our allegiances, shifting the moral compass of the characters in such a way that we’re not entirely sure whom to root for.

Evil Dead star Jane Levy plays Rocky, the teen moll who just wants to do one more hit and steal enough money to take her little sister away to find a better life in California.

CHUCKY YEAGER

SCREEN

WOODSTOCK MUSEUM FILM FESTIVAL

The theme for this year's festival is “Reality ”

T

he Woodstock Museum on Bach Road in Saugerties is a “living museum,” says co-founder Nathan Koenig, who along with Shelli Lipton created an environment there that celebrates the Woodstock experience beyond memories of that famous rain-soaked music festival of nearly 40 years ago. A living museum, says Koenig, is about not only the historical artifacts on display (which include a psychedelic bus), but also enhances the culture of a living colony of the arts.

In doing its part to contribute to the cultural life of the region, the Woodstock Museum has sponsored an annual film festival every year over Labor Day weekend since 2000. This year, the 17th annual Woodstock Museum Film Festival expanded to fill an entire week, with films showing from Tuesday, August 30 tho Monday, September 5. Screenings begin at 6:30 p.m. each night, with the exception of the final day – Labor Day – when the first film starts at noon.

Admission to any or all of the 38 films in the festival is free (although donations to the nonprofit Woodstock Museum are welcome). There are two theaters showing the films simultaneously – the same film in both theaters at the same time, largely to accommodate an overflow audience in the primary theater – but Koenig says that, when it comes time for the question-and-answer session with filmmakers afterward and audience critiques, the audiences of both theaters will be able to participate equally.

The theme for the festival this year is “Reality,” which of course can be interpreted in a number of ways. Most evenings there will be screenings of five films, with four screened on Saturday and ten on Monday. With nearly 40 films to choose from, highlights probably depend on one’s taste. But to offer an amuse-bouche, Save the Bees on Thursday makes the point that if bees disappear, humans will have only four years of life left. TWU Local 525 Memorial Beam is about the journey of a one-ton artifact from the World Trade Center as it is shipped to Miami. Thursday also is the night to see The Runaway, about an outlaw on the run for 30 years who tells his story before his execution, and The Healing Field, about challenges to conventional healthcare with non-invasive, ancient healing techniques.

Friday features Pin Up! about the American phenomenon of pin-up girls and The American Death, about dying in a culture uncomfortable with how to handle it. Saturday will highlight Body & Sound, the tale of Sergio Arturo Calonego, who plays acoustic guitar and talks about the relationship between a musician and his instrument. 1984 Riding into Hell will cover the 1984 rock scene, world news and pop culture.

On Sunday the festival will screen five films that include The Lover, introducing a wife’s memories about an obsessive love, and Escapes, in which a young woman loses her father and embarks on a journey revealing the essence of life. (Hint: running away isn’t the answer.)

Finally, Monday’s ten films begin at noon with The Leaping Place, about an elderly woman journeying to a mysterious tree hidden in the depths of an ancient cave.

September Sketch Book uses old-school animation techniques to show sequences of flags from around the world, and Begone Dull Care is an upbeat animated short set to 1980s music: “a dance of tightly timed abstract paintings and pixel art.”

Along with the film screenings, visitors can experience events throughout the festival that include a nightly outdoor light show by Jim C., accompanied by music, and a campfire with visitors welcome to play acoustic instruments while sitting around it. In past years people have camped on the grounds over the course of the festival, but Koenig says that the property is full to capacity already this year. If the weather cooperates, people are welcome to swim in the eco-friendly pool – a beautiful 50-foot expanse of water cleaned with hydrogen peroxide to be non-toxic – that features LED lights at night, with underwater speakers playing music for a “kind of trippy” swim, adds Koenig. In addition, no one will go hungry, with a café on site offering all kinds of tasty-sounding edibles to enjoy.

And again, admission is free.

literally and figuratively, to the thievery ring’s success, but who’s in it mainly because he has an unrequited crush on Rocky. As for this unnamed Blind Man, is he a war hero struggling with PTSD and personal grief, or are there subtler layers to his hermetic existence? You’ll have to watch and find out, won’t you?

Don’t Breathe is beautifully shot to build the claustrophobic feel of the vet’s tough-to-escape compound, including a long sequence in filter-simulated total darkness that is reminiscent of the part of Wait until Dark that happens after Audrey Hepburn’s character smashes all the lightbulbs. Where the movie falls short is in not consistently demonstrating that the homeowner has developed finely tuned senses of hearing and touch to compensate for his loss of sight, or that he can find his way around his own house without groping. Its very title is belied by scenes in which one or more of the intruders are in the same room, some panting, and yet the Blind Man can’t pinpoint where or how many they are.

But this being the genre that it is, most audiences will let such quibbles about plausibility slide and just enjoy the spooky thrill ride. There are several dimly lit violent scenes and intermittent gore, but the camera does not linger lovingly and eroticize the carnage, as splatter movies typically will. I wouldn’t take an under-13 kid to see Don’t Breathe, but I might take an over-65 relative. It’s not Hitchcock, but it’s well-crafted and reasonably entertaining.

T

his is not a Big Star, Nick Drake, Franz Kafka or Emily Dickinson story: Television were fairly successful and (of course) critically revered in their early years, when Marquee Moon did something with guitar-rock that is still kind of hard to describe. That said, main man Tom Verlaine’s yippy and curt vocals may be one reason why the great New York City band did not gain quite the commercial traction of such scenemates as Blondie, Patti Smith and – most to the point – the Talking Heads, with whom Television shared some ensemble and aesthetic values (while playing circles around them, to be honest).

Amidst Marquee Moon’s hypermelodic l a tt i c e w o r k o f c h a m b e r - p u n k counterpoint, Verlaine’s lead vocals are typically the least tuneful thing happening; even Billy Ficca’s unorthodox and orchestrally patterned drumming seemed to have more melodic contour.

This inversion of typical pop musical values may correspond to an inversion of pop fortunes as well, but… …that comparative obscurity (they weren’t that obscure; 15-year-old me – who lived in the sticks and revered Kansas and Little Feat – was well aware of Marquee Moon) has set the stage nicely for an ascendant and evergreen influence in the indie-rock culture. Marquee Moon and its underrated follow-up Adventure strike a rare balance of fresh punk naïveté, willing experimentalism and some visionary musical sophistication and instrumental skill.

In Television’s two-guitar interplay – the more experimental Verlaine and the more rock-grounded ace Richard Lloyd – guitar-rock’s past and future twist and dance in a moment both of its time and absolutely beyond it. You count on the sturdy rocker Lloyd for bottomless soloing in the Wagner/Hunter tradition, and on Verlaine for the moves that make you go WTF. People are still chasing this sound, and missing it.

Television reunion shows, sans Lloyd, seem to be happening with greater frequency lately, and by all accounts the band revels brilliantly in that novel way of playing rock music that they discovered together 40 years ago. They visit the cavernous back room at BSP on Sunday, September 4. The recently announced opener is a stunner as well: indie art-rock royalty of sorts Deradoorian, the handle of the freakishly gifted and otherworldly vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Angel Deradoorian, formerly of Dirty Projectors and the Animal Collective offshoot Avey Tare’s Slasher Flicks.

The show starts at 7:30 p.m. Tickets cost $40 in advance and $48 at the door, and are available locally at Outdated and Rocket Number Nine in Kingston, Darkside Records in Poughkeepsie, Jack’s Rhythms in New Paltz and the Woodstock Music Shop, including its Hudson Valley Mall location. For more information, visit wwwbspkingston.com. BSP is located at 323 Wall Street in Kingston.

moment, it would not be surprising if Blue Chime Stomp were recorded with entirely period gear.

This swinging ten-piece collective features the anachronistic, eccentric and entirely convincing vocals of Erika Lewis.

The banjos, reeds, washboards and lowend tuba groove deeply. One thing that you don’t have to ask after hearing the band swinging through “Oh Papa” or the haunted rural blues of “Corrine” is, “What do they sound like live?” This is it. And it is damn good. Ragtime, blues, backline, but no funk: Blue Chime Stomp is polyglot in its style, but within strict historical parameters.

Old Game Farm in Catskill to host Meltasia festival

Opus 40

DION OGUST | ALMANAC WEEKLY

MUSIC

Rock on What can one say about Meltasia, a music festival slated to be held at the Old Game Farm in Catskill over Labor Day weekend? It’s weird – an adjective that came out of the mouth of the organizer, Andy Animal, formerly of the Andy Animal Family Band and Cannibal Tribe. He’s the guy who celebrated his 31st birthday by renting an entire campground to throw a party replete with psychedelics, booze and 150 biker punks, meanwhile asking, “What could go wrong?” He’s the creator of the ever-entertaining Sensuous Yankee Candle YouTube spots, wherein he displays his latest haul of scented votives and describes how much he likes the way they smell.

After organizing private parties with a few hundred friends, he’s opening up to the public – the adult public, specifically.

Opus 40 in Saugerties hosts Satellite Paradiso, Washington Square-style hootenanny this weekend

fter a hiatus of many years, Opus 40 – Harvey Fite’s stunning sculpture park in Saugerties – is back at the live music game with a renewed sense of purpose and a wild sense of genre inclusivity. Opus 40 brings this summer’s lineup to a close with two notable shows this Labor Day weekend. On Saturday, September 3 at 5 p.m., former Psychedelic Furs guitarist and co-writer John Ashton brings his new band, Satellite Paradiso, out onto the rocks.

Satellite Paradiso’s sound is not at all out of character with the romantic and ethereal wall of sound of his former band, nor is it deaf to all that has transpired in the meantime. The eponymous debut release reads like a roll-call of the locally residing luminaries of alternative rock: Sara Lee, Gail Ann Dorsey, members of Mercury Rev, cellist-to-the-stars Jane Scarpantoni and many more. Ashton has introduced the new project at BSP among other venues, to enthusiastic reviews. New Paltz’s the Sweet Clementines open.

On Sunday, September 4 beginning at 4 p.m., Opus 40 aims to resemble what Washington Square in Greenwich Village looked like on a Sunday morning in the ‘50s and ‘60s: just a bunch of folks bringing guitars and banjos, joining together in impromptu jam sessions or gathering around and lending their voices to a favorite song. New York’s proper parks commissioner, Newbold Morris, described them as people who “come from miles away to display the most terrible costumes, haircuts et cetera and who play bongo drums and other weird instruments, attracting a weird public.”

Opus 40’s Washington Square program runs each Sunday throughout the summer. Admission is free to anyone who brings an acoustic instrument. For more information, visit www.opus40.org. Opus 40 is located at 50 Fite Road in Saugerties.

Attendees must be 18 and older. It’s not a kid-friendly event. “We keep it 18 and over,” he explains, “so that if anybody feels like taking their clothes off or anything like that…you know, children seem to keep people from wanting to do that, I’ve learned from past events. This is the second Meltasia. I did the first one in Lafayette, Georgia. To make a long story short, I just somehow wound up doing a party in Georgia. There’s a promo video

on YouTube where you can look up the Meltasia experience.”

I asked him where the name Meltasia comes from. “Me and my friends, we always used the phrase ‘getting melted’ as a term for partying. I’ve been doing a more word-of-mouth party at Uncle Pete’s Campground in Phoenicia for the past six years. We called it the Meltdown Funabration.

shut down in 2006. The place is amazing.

It was built in the ‘30s, so it has really cool old-school vibes. We’re excited to be making light out of a formerly somewhat dark situation. Some people don’t like zoos, for some reason.”

A description of the new location for the gathering is on Animal’s website: “Opened in 1933, the Catskill Game Farm was the nation’s first privately owned zoo, but had been left untouched since its closing in 2006. Empty animal pens and feeding bowls dotted the outdoor space, overgrown and dilapidated. In 2012, a family bought the land and renamed it the Old Game Farm. Now, the beautiful ruins of the 206-acre property will be brought back to life, with Meltasia Music Festival.”

recordings have received critical acclaim from publications such as The New York TiMes, DowNbeaT MagaziNe, and Jazz TiMes.

kevin’s performance will feature a combination of material from various sources and genres. being an improviser, he decides on much of the program as he goes along, and his program will likely include his original songs, spontaneous interpretations of jazz standards, and improvisations on classical, folk, and blues themes. kevin considers the audience to be a participant in the process and one can expect many delightful surprises along the way.

Free & open to the public.

The site will indeed come to life when Animal’s party happens. Attendees can camp out on the grounds or plan to bed down in one of the cool, cheap hotels in and around Catskill. “People can bring in their own food, and we’re gonna have some great food trucks there – like, Pippy’s Hot Dogs makes these really great hot dogs with macaroni and cheese and fish crackers on ‘em, which I look forward to trying. I like food that seems like it was designed by a six-year-old.”

When asked what other kinds of activities there will be besides listening to the music, Animal says, “Drinking.”

Alcohol will be available for purchase.

“What else? We’re setting up a ring toss where you can win beer and other cool stuff, like Meltasia Frisbees. There are goats there for people to see. Just to see this old run-down zoo – like, there’s gonna be a performance in an old monkey cage and little side performances, weird surprises, such as Meltie’s Chamber of Thrills.”

Gates are open at noon on Friday, and Animal has 26 bands lined up to play until Sunday evening, including Shannon and the Clams, Pentagram, Natural Child, Kool Keith, Sheer Mag, Bloodshot Bill, Murphy’s Law, Dirty Fences, Bird Cloud, White Mystery, Vockah Redo, Hector’s Pets, Mystery Lights, Weird Paul Petroskey, the Tough Sh*ts, Surfbort, Pox, the Nude Party, Dose Man, the Paul Green Rock Academy, Scott Fry, It’s Not Night: It’s Space, Fat White Family, Ultraam, Faux Ferocious, Benni and possibly more.

Check the playlist and schedule on the website for specific times these performers might appear.

“What do you do in life, besides throw together these crazy parties?” I asked the Woodstock hometown boy. “Anything I can get my hands on, really, that I want to get my hands on. Helping out different projects. Am I an artist? I guess, yes, I am. I’m an art collector: old monster toys. I drew a lot when I was younger. I’ve assembled a lot of people to create really cool art projects. I was also a singer, but don’t do that much anymore.”

Now engrossed in event planning, Animal says that he’s capping the ticket sales at 900 “so that we’re not completely overrun. Oh yeah, we are gonna have a bunch of awesome deejays from around the world, too,” he adds. Expect anything to happen. And prepare for three whole days and nights of food, drinks, souvenirs, vintage goods and other surprises.

Camping is free with ticket purchase, and early arrival is advised to find a good spot to set up. Campers should be sure to bring all the necessary camping/ festival gear (tents, sleeping bags, bug spray, comfy shoes et cetera). Showers and restrooms will be available for your convenience.

Most importantly, to really get down and have a safe, kickass time, attendees are advised to see Animal’s rules for a list of what not to bring, which includes outsidepurchased alcohol, pets, fireworks,

explosives and weapons of any kind. No unauthorized vending or soliciting will be allowed, and campers can build fires in designated areas only.

Jeremy Denk to perform solo at Bard’s Fisher Center

Virtuoso pianist Jeremy Denk – one of the leading lights on the contemporary classical music scene, jam buddies with Joshua Bell and a name oft-heard if you listen much to classical radio – helps the Bard College Conservatory of Music celebrate its tenth anniversary with a solo performance on Sunday, September 11 at 3 p.m. at the Sosnoff Theater. “The idea of this program,” says Denk, “is a musical analogy to time-lapse photography: a journey in two hours through seven centuries of Western music, from the 1300s until the present day.

In a series of 25 short pieces, it will trace the evolution of the musical language, the soundscape – an epic story of human thought and ideals, of what we have found important to express in tones.”

The program ranges from Dufay and Frescobaldi to Ligeti and the Beatles.

Tickets cost $30 and $50. For more information, visit http://fishercenter.bard. edu. The Fisher Center’s Sosnoff Theater is located on the campus of Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson.

As both an Eagle and as a solo artist, Don Henley is one of the more polarizing figures in the classic-rock pantheon.

The Eagles get little credit (about as much as Poco) for their pioneering role in the country/rock genre, and Henley’s fabulously successful solo hits have been held up, again and again, as emblems of the sins of the ’80s.

What no one can question, however, is a career of consistent hitmaking and a large international fanbase that cares little about the ups and downs of critical reputation. And there was a time, kids, when Mr. Henley was quite highly regarded by critics, both for the cultural acumen of such songs as “Hotel California,” “Dirty Laundry” and “Boys of Summer” and for the legendarily high quality of his self-produced song demos.

Eight-time Grammy-winner Don Henley performs at the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts on Saturday, September 10 at 8 p.m. Tickets cost $71, $91, $111, $125 and $141 for reserved seating and $37.50 for general admission to the Lawn.

Bigfoot by Michael Lewy

September 1, 2016

IMAGES COURTESY OF ONE MILE GALLERY

Monsters in America Cryptozoology art exhibition opens this Saturday at Kingston’s One Mile Gallery

T

ales of the mythical creature known as Sasquatch may be most common in the Pacific Northwest, but tales of Bigfoot have stomped their way across the continent. In the Hudson Valley, rumored sightings have apparently been common enough to warrant the creation of the beast’s own group of researchers.

For many, Bigfoot is the touchstone for mythical creatures of North America, but he’s far from the only one. He’ll be in good company at One Mile Gallery’s “Monsters in America” show, where works of art depicting creatures such as the famous Mothman and Chupacabra will rub elbows with lesser-known beasts like the Pope Lick Monster of Kentucky’s Pope Lick Creek.

Drawing inspiration from Hog Island Press’s cryptozoological map of the US, local artist Richard Saja is collaborating on a September show with One Mile Gallery owner Janet Hicks. He has gathered a multitude of visual artists to create pieces focusing on the various monsters, aliens and spirits rumored to reside in North America.

“We love working together, and this is an idea he’s had for a long time,” says

Hicks, who has shown Saja’s art several times since the Gallery’s opening in 2010.

Herself a transplant from the West Coast, Hicks is very familiar with the mythology of Bigfoot and shares Saja’s fascination with tales of the supernatural. “Every state seems to have something s p o o ky,” s a y s Hicks.

And many artists, it turns out, find inspiration in those eerie creatures said to lurk just out of sight. “We’ve cer tainly had shows with veins of the fantastical,” says Hicks, but she adds that this is the first show curated specifically with a theme of the supernatural in mind. Saja sought out artists from the Hudson Valley, New York City and beyond, asking them each to create a work depicting on one of the mythical monsters. “The artists were chosen for their interests and tastes, but the pieces are new,” says Hicks. “We have some people who have dedicated two months of their lives to making these pieces.”

Among the pieces on display will be works of all different media – paintings, collages, sculptures – and all different monsters. Michael Lewy’s Bigfoot extends a hand forward, gazing out at onlookers from a photograph. Momo, a similarly

hairy and allegedly malodorous cryptid purported to haunt Missouri, is portrayed in a latch-hook rug by Veleta Vancza.

Joey Chiarello’s ceramic Wampus cat, a creature described alternately as a cursed cat/woman and a harbinger of death, crouches intently, while Keri Oldham’s mad-eyed watercolor of a bloodsucking Chupacabra bares its teeth.

Caitlin McCormack’s skeletal crocheted sculpture of the Pope Lick Monster appears to be creeping malevolently, tendrils of fiber extending from him in all directions. Hicks describes it as “delicate and creepy at the same time.”

The real Pope Lick Monster, if there is one, is anything but delicate: This man/ goat/sheep hybrid is said to live beneath a railroad bridge, luring and frightening people to their deaths.

The show of approximately 60 artists

Pope Lick Monster by Caitlin McCormack

is so big that the One Mile Gallery will be opening an auxiliary space to accommodate all of the pieces; and in Saja’s discussions with Hog Island Press, there’s been talk of creating a children’s book with the art from the show.

As Saja puts the finishing touches on the September exhibit, Hicks continues to coordinate the Gallery’s busy calendar.

Though she works weekdays in the City helping artists protect their intellectual property rights, Hicks manages to exhibit new shows regularly. “We definitely have things that are thematic in our programming,” she says.

Every year, the gallery does one show with photographer Mark Hogancamp, who has turned his backyard into a scale model of a World War II-era Belgian town.

The Gallery is currently showing his work at the Biennial International Photography and Visual Arts Expo in Liège, Belgium and will be showing it again in October at the Outsider Art Fair in Paris.

Another one of the Gallery’s annual traditions is a show that focuses on the overlap of music and visual art. This October, the One Mile Gallery will cover its Kingston space in the work of prolific Portland, Oregon poster artist Mike King.

In the meantime, though, King will have to wait; it’s rumored that the gallery is full of monsters. The One Mile Gallery is open from 12 noon to 5 p.m. on Saturdays and by appointment.

fabric, leather, pottery, metal, glass, wood, paper, stone, feathers and just about any other imaginable material on display. It’s a juried show, so there’s no junk, but many prices are more affordable than you might imagine.

The Woodstock-New Paltz Art & Crafts Fair runs from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, September 3 and 4, and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Monday, September 5, Labor Day. The price of entry is $9 general admission, $8 for seniors. Children aged 12 and under get in free, and there’s a hands-on crafts activities tent where kids can entertain themselves under adult supervision while Mom and Dad shop. Parking is free.

“Sculpture: The Third Dimension” opens at ASK in Kingston

Labor Day weekend means that it’s time for the Woodstock-New Paltz Art & Crafts Fair to come to the Ulster County Fairgrounds again. A temporary bridge over the Wallkill River at the base of Main Street while the Carmine Liberta Memorial Bridge is being rebuilt means that traffic through New Paltz will likely be slower than usual. So come early this year, before the cars are backed up to Thruway Exit 18, or do what the locals do and come around the long way to Libertyville Road via the Route 44/55 bridge in Gardiner.

Adding to the appeal of the Labor Day weekend installment is a live demonstration of the art of ornamental masonry by Woodstock resident Buazza Raal. The Algerian-born artisan is known for his work with the Catskills’ native bluestone, building stone walls, walkways, patios, waterfalls, fishponds, woodburning ovens and outdoor kitchens. At the Crafts Fair he will ply his trade in real time, creating a bluestone fountain over the three days of the event.

ASK show will feature a broad range of interpretations of what is sculpture.” And indeed, the array of 34 pieces in the show offers representation of many sculptural genres using media ranging from metal to stone to wood, ceramic, plaster and clay – some incorporating more than one type of material – in textures ranging from tribal roughness to futuristic shine.

Some of sculptors whose work is included in this eclectic exhibition are locally based, others nationally prominent.

The show runs through the month of September and is open for public viewing Tuesday through Saturday from 1 to 6 p.m. and by appointment. The ASK Gallery is located at 97 Broadway in Kingston.

Fallen Angel by Frank Duncan

A new exhibition opens this Saturday, September 3 at the Arts Society of Kingston (ASK) on lower Broadway in the Rondout, with a reception from 5 to 8 p.m. The show is titled “Sculpture: The Third Dimension,” but according to curator Philip Monteleoni, “The subtitle of the show should really be ‘Sculpture Today: Anything Goes.’”

In his Introductory Statement for the exhibit, Monteleoni notes that the art world is just beginning to bounce back from its mid-20th-century rejection of representationalism. “From the earliest freestanding sculptures of the ancient Greeks, the Romans and Renaissance artists like Donatello and Michelangelo through Bernini, Canova and Rodin, people knew what sculpture was and what it was not. Then, in the 20th century, classical academic Realism, both in painting and in sculpture, came into almost universal disfavor. The reasons were many: the superior narrative accuracy of photography, the radical new realities of the Machine Age, the cultural dislocations and devastations of the World Wars and the revulsion against Socialist Realist sculptures commissioned by both the Nazi and the Soviet authorities,” he writes.

“As the particular harshness of the 20th century recedes, traditional figurative sculpture is reemerging,” the curator concludes. “With that in mind, the

“Bradley Walker Tomlin: A Retrospective” at the Dorsky Museum includes more than 40 paintings, works on paper and printed materials, charting Tomlin’s development from Art Nouveau illustrations of the 1920s to large-scale Abstract Expressionist paintings of the 1950s. The exhibition explores his formative years in Syracuse, early patronage by Condé Nast and the important role played by the Woodstock art colony. Pictured above is Tomlin's untitled cover for House and Garden, 1926, watercolor on paper, collection of Arthur A. Anderson, photo by Bob Wagner. Tomlin's As They Walked Along Together, 1921, ink on paper, is featured on the cover of Almanac. It is on loan from the Everson Museum of Art, a gift of Isabelle McConnell.

“THE GENTLEMAN ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONIST” ON VIEW AT DORSKY MUSEUM IN NEW PALTZ

W

ith a new semester getting underway at SUNY-New Paltz, it’s time for the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art to open the doors to its new fall exhibitions. All four go on public view on Wednesday, August 31, and will remain open through December 11. An opening reception is scheduled for Saturday, September 10 from 5 to 7 p.m.

Most famed among the artists being spotlighted is American painter Bradley Walker Tomlin (1899-1953), a retrospective of whose works has been curated by Daniel Belasco and will be displayed in the Morgan Anderson Gallery. “The gentleman Abstract Expressionist,” in the words of poet John Ashbery, Tomlin was known for his elegance in both painting style and personal comportment. “Bradley Walker Tomlin: A Retrospective” includes more than 40 paintings, works on paper and printed materials, charting Tomlin’s development from Art Nouveau illustrations of the 1920s to large-scale Abstract Expressionist paintings of the 1950s. The exhibition explores his formative years in Syracuse, early patronage by Condé Nast and the important role played by the Woodstock art colony. Tomlin is best-known as a key figure in the New York School and had close friendships with Adolph Gottlieb, Philip Guston and Robert Motherwell.

The Sara Bedrick Gallery will house “In/Animate: Recent Work by Myra Mimlitsch-Gray,” curated by Akiko Busch, surveying the past decade of work by the internationally renowned metalsmith and head of the Metal Program at SUNY-New Paltz, which is widely regarded as the pinnacle of its field in US academia. The exhibition explores a variety of artistic processes using iron, copper, brass, silver and enameled steel. Mimlitsch-Gray’s domestic artifacts suggest a coalescence of body and thing, conveying the mutability of the animate and inanimate and reflecting the intimacy between people and the objects that they use. More than 40 meticulously crafted works contribute to the contemporary conversation about how household objects express ideas about presentation, utility and class.

The legacy of another SUNY-New Paltz faculty member will be examined in the Seminar Room with “All Excess Stripped Away: Donations to the Dorsky Museum by Hugo Munsterberg,” curated by Elizabeth Brotherton. The widely differing cultures and periods that are represented in this group of artworks illustrate the broad approach of the art historian, writer, collector and educator, who began teaching at the college in 1958 and died in 1995. Professor Munsterberg added significantly to SUNY-New Paltz’s holdings of both Asian art and works by 20th-century Hudson Valley artists.

The Howard Greenberg Family Gallery will bring us Part II of last year’s successful exhibition, “On the Street and in the Studio: Photographs Donated by Howard Greenberg,” curated by Daniel Belasco. Drawn from among 1,145 photographs by 101 artists collected by art dealer/Center for Photography at Woodstock co-founder Greenberg and donated to the Dorsky, Part II focuses on portraiture and the personal relationship between photographer and subject. Many of these prints have never before been exhibited.

In the Corridor Gallery will hang a rotating display titled “The Dorsky Collects: Selections from the Permanent Collection,” curated by Wayne Lempka. From ancient Egyptian artifacts to American folk painting to 20th-century color photographs, selections in this ongoing exhibition will periodically change in order to provide the visitor with a better understanding of the breadth and depth of the Museum’s holdings.

The Dorsky Museum is open to the public from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday, and closed on Mondays, Tuesdays, during school holidays and intersessions. Admission is by voluntary donation. For more information, call (845) 257-3844 or visit www.newpaltz.edu/museum.

BENEFIT

Fall for Art at Kingston’s Chateau

T

he 20th annual Fall for Art takes place in a new venue this year. After holding the juried exhibit, sale and fundraising cocktail reception at Kingston’s Wiltwyck Golf Club for 19 years running, event coordinators found that more space was needed to accommodate the growing number of artists involved in the extravaganza. “That’s a good problem to have!” says event chair Barbara Cohen. “We loved it at Wiltwyck, but at the Chateau, we have room for more art.”

Hosted by the Jewish Federation of Ulster County (JFUC), Fall for Art is a tradition that honors exemplary artwork and artists while raising much-needed funds for local human services organizations, including the Hudson Valley Food Bank, Family of Woodstock, Court-Appointed Special Advocates (CASA), People’s Place, Angel Food East and Jewish Family Services, among others. Each year a special recipient is honored for its contribution to the community; this time it’s the YMCA of Kingston and Ulster County.

As president Heidi Kirschner has said, the Y is not just a gym.

Established here in 1866, the nonprofit organization provides numerous recreational programs and services for all ages. It runs camps and classes for children and adults, along with aquatic lessons and activities, offers health and fitness programs and provides day care for young people – all of which builds skills for individuals and nurtures relationships amongst community members. Cohen says, “We’re donating up to $1,000 worth of artworks to be displayed in their facility. We’re thrilled to be able to do something for this valuable organization.” She explains that giving back to worthy organizations has to do with tikkun olam, a Jewish concept defined by acts of kindness performed to repair the world.

Above and beyond these ongoing monetary contributions, special recognition has been bestowed on the Emerging Artists of the Hudson Valley Competition, Arts with a Heart (Alzheimer Association), the Saugerties Boys & Girls Club, the Rosendale Theatre Collective, Shadowland Theatre, the Ulster County Purchase Award, Children’s Annex of Ulster County, SUNY-Ulster, the Arts Society of Kingston, Friends of Historic Kingston, the Benedictine Center, the Center for Creative Education, the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art at SUNY-New Paltz, the Ulster Arts Alliance, Kingston City Hall and a financial prize to local high schools for the Fall for Art Logo Contest.

“When we first started, who knew that we’d continue for 20 years?” says Cohen.

“After a while, we realized the potential – and we’ve changed the event in many ways. For example, at first it was devoted to artists with two-dimensional work: oil, pastel, watercolor. Then we decided to have pottery, jewelry and glass. That’s also art! We did a Call for Entry for works in sterling silver, gems and beads, and items at different price levels, et cetera, along with the two-dimensional artwork.

Including new categories was a big deal; there’s more to choose from now... In addition, our sponsorship support has grown. Artists, sponsors and guests are the three components that are necessary. We need all three for success.”

Cohen explains that giving back to worthy organizations has to do with tikkun olam, a Jewish concept defined by acts of kindness performed to repair the world.

resident Franklin D.

People in DC knew that if you wanted to get to FDR, you had to go through Missy.

and the need for their preservation.

McGill has stayed in slave quarters in 17 states, five of which are in the North.

McGill is the founder of the Slave While local historical societies in the Dwelling Project, a not-for-profit Hudson Valley have begun to delve into the organization that acts as a clearingexistence of slavery house of informahere, in most tion about such Northern states spaces, for the people continue purpose of callto think of slavery ing attention to as a Southern a more complete issue. Contrary story of our nato this popular tion’s dependence belief, Northern on slavery as a states were also driving economic dependent on force.

“It’s all about the enslaved African Bevier-Elting House in New Paltz space and allowing labor in the 17 th (Geoffrey Gross, Library of Congress) these spaces to tell and 18th centuries. the stories of the enslaved ancestors. Anybody could sleep in a space – it’s just a gimmick to get folks interested in the project – and then organizers plan programs around this activity. Folks who spend the night there with me bring their padding, sleeping bag and pillow. That’s all we bring. When we sleep in slave quarters, I’m not necessarily trying to recreate anything. It’s just a simple thing to do.

“It’s simple because all I’m doing is finding these spaces and getting permission from the owners to spend the night in them. For so long we have tended to neglect these spaces. They are associated with a part of our history we’d rather not highlight. I came up with this idea when I was an employee of the National Trust for Historic Preservation to save places: usually the iconic houses on the hill, the architecturally significant places. But when you apply that definition to Antebellum buildings, they tend to leave out slave dwellings. We focus on where the enslavers lived and tell their stories. But those who were enslaved – those stories we tend to neglect and not talk about.”

Slavery was not legally abolished in New York State until 1827.

“This will be my second time in New

York. When I interpret what I do, I get the most pushback from Northerners, either through ignorance or denial or both, because they are locked in a thought process of being a part of the Underground Railroad and of sending that army down South during the Civil War to rid this nation of the institution of slavery. They’re proud of that history.

A lot of folks tell me where they’re from, like California or Colorado or Illinois, and they think they’re immune to the purpose of this project. But you’ve got to think of the ‘49ers who brought their slaves to the West to do all the work of mining for gold.

When I take them a little farther back to remind them of slavery that existed here, people begin to think differently of how the institution of slavery factored into the growth of this nation.”

When asked how he finds obscure slave quarters around the country, McGill says,

Basilica Soundscape coming to Hudson Basilica Soundscape, the two-day festival of art, Outsider music and all-out avant-garde assault, will be returning to Hudson on September 16 and 17. This year’s lineup has turned out particularly heavy, with Night One headliners Wolves in the Throne Room, a black metal band/organic farming collective from the woods of Washington, backed by the doomy stylings of Bell Witch and a revamped Cobalt over the two nights.

But fans of more uplifting fare need not run screaming. Night Two will culminate with instrumental rockers Explosions in the Sky, and Wolves in the Throne Room will find themselves following the indiepopper Angel Olsen. Curator Brandon Stosuy – formerly an editor at Pitchfork and currently running the Kickstarterbacked Creative Independent project – says that these kinds of juxtapositions are intentional. “We want there to be a variety, but not so eclectic that it feels random,” he says. “I want things to be there for a reason, and to make sense together, even if they’re seemingly quite different.”

In previous years this has meant following an industrial noise band with an extended drum solo on a balcony, or the heart-on-sleeve stylings of the nowdefunct Majical Cloudz in a back room of the former rail foundry and glue factory.

The result is an event that feels diverse, without approaching the nonsensical pairings that you find at a large festival where all tastes have to be accommodated.

The result shows this kind of careful planning. “We want the events to work on multiple levels from start to finish,” says Stosuy. “There should be some kind of cohesion, even if it takes a little bit of time to notice it.”

Other acts spread over both nights include the lute-and-drums duo Xylouris White, “hardcore industrial” band Youth Code and DIY punks Hank Wood and the Hammerheads. The festival will be followed on Sunday, September 18 by a brunch and local Farm & Flea marketplace from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., cooked by Nicole LoBue of Alimentary Kitchen. There will also be pop-up shops from the Sacred

Bones Records and Publication Studio throughout the weekend.

Tickets for the entire weekend cost $75, with $40 single-day passes available, as well as a discounted student/senior pass for $60. Those interested in camping can also purchase a $125 weekend pass and camping, or a $30-per-day camping pass.

This includes a spot at the Meadowgreens campground on Route 9H, as well as a shuttle to and from the venue, which is located at 110 South Front Street in Hudson, right past the Amtrak station.

County Poorhouse talk in New Paltz Between the years 1828 and 1976, what is now the Ulster County Fairgrounds was the site of the Ulster County Poorhouse. Thousands of individuals, including the indigent, the destitute, the insane, the intemperate, transient farmworkers, freed slaves, unemployed canal- and aqueductbuilders, “debauched” women, unwed mothers, the friendless, the elderly, the disabled and the sick called this site their home. Susan Stessin-Cohn, New Paltz’s town historian and copresident of the New Paltz Historical Society, has made the history of the Poorhouse and its residents her special area of research and advocacy for the past 16 years.

On Wednesday, September 7, StessinCohn will give a talk at the New Paltz Community Center on the topic, “Who’ll Weep for Me? Poverty and the Rise of the Poorhouse System in Ulster County.” The title comes from a line in a poem inscribed

Iroquois Festival in Howes Cave We can erase the illusion of otherness by learning about each other’s cultures. Wish you could connect your family with New York Native American culture and traditions? Then you will want to attend the annual Iroquois Festival at the Iroquois Indian Museum held every Labor Day weekend: this Saturday and Sunday, September 3 and 4 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Festival is an authentic expression of Iroquois life, and all are welcome to participate, from beading and cornhusk dollmaking for the kids to music, dance performances, Native American art, storytelling, wildlife presentations and much more.

You may recall my enthusiastic review of this museum, because it’s history by the Iroquois themselves: a complete gamechanger in terms of historic narrative.

When our family visited the museum last month, the presenters were so excited about this Festival: It’s a real reunion for the Iroquois, and we’re all invited to join in the fun.

The Iroquois Indian Museum is located at 324 Caverns Road in Howes Cave. Make a stop at nearby Howe Caverns or Secret Caverns while you’re in the area! For more information, call (518) 296-8949 or visit www.iroquoismuseum.org.

Hudson River Valley Ramble hits the region’s trails this weekend

T

hough we think of summer as a time for outdoor activities, the persistent sticky weather that plagued the Hudson Valley in July and August this year can make lying low in some handy air-conditioned space much more appealing than doing something vigorous out in the heat and humidity. Luckily, September is upon us, bringing its welcome cooler evenings, lower daily dewpoints – and the 17th annual Hudson River Valley Ramble. That means four weekends’ worth of interesting things to do and places to visit, mostly guided by people with ample knowledge to share.

The Ramble is an annual event series that celebrates the history, culture and natural resources of the Hudson River Valley National Heritage Area, as well as the amazing landscape, communities and trails throughout the region. Ramble events generally take place outdoors or include an outdoor portion, and offer interpretation of the landscape, history or ecology of the area. They can be guided walks, hikes, bike tours, kayak or canoe trips, a family festival or a river exploration.

Ramble 2016 begins this weekend and runs through Sunday, September 25.

Events are scheduled in Albany, Columbia, Dutchess, Greene, Orange, Putnam, Rensselaer, Rockland, Saratoga, Ulster, Washington and Westchester Counties, as well as portions of Manhattan and the Bronx that are adjacent to the Hudson River. For Valley residents, that means that the Ramble website is a phenomenally rich resource for planning day trips close to home.

Just this Saturday, September 3, for example, your many choices in Ulster and Dutchess include a Wildflower Walk at Innisfree Gardens in Millbrook, led by an Audubon Society naturalist who

There's an open call for video of the Hudson River, particularly footage captured during Hurricane Sandy, for potential inclusion in Fathom: Hudson River Data as Music, a new multimedia performance piece by composers Ben Neill and Mimi Goese.

HELP!

A storm of inspiration Composers Ben Neill & Mimi G oese seek Hurricane Sandy footage for Fathom: Hudson River Data as Music

A

s reported in Almanac Weekly some months back, the Beacon Institute for Rivers and Estuaries (BIRE) of Clarkson University has been trying to bridge the culture gap between science geeks and Joe and Jane Average by organizing an interesting ongoing series of public infotainment events in restaurants and watering holes along Beacon’s Main Street. Upcoming in the Science Café series is the debut performance of a new multimedia performance piece titled Fathom: Hudson River Data as Music, to be unveiled at the Towne Crier Café on November 17.

Mid-November may sound like a long way off, but you need to know about this project now if you have shot some nice video footage of the Hudson River – and especially if you happened to have had the camera rolling during Hurricane Sandy. That’s because the composers of Fathom are compiling video snippets to be integrated with river data animations into a visual collage that will be screened as part of the piece’s performance. So if you were shooting the wild weather’s effects on the Hudson or its tributaries, Ben Neill and Mimi Goese want to hear from you. Yes, citizen science can also be art!

The composition, commissioned last fall by BIRE specifically for the Science Café Series, is based on data provided by its River and Estuary Observatory Network (REON). Neill and Goese are translating BIRE’s environmental data on the Hudson River into music algorithmically, using several different computer programs. The REON data, currently visualized as graphs, will be sonified into electronic music and also serve as a score for live musicians. Each parameter of river data chosen for Fathom, including barometric pressure and electrical conductivity (salinity), will become a different sound, instrument or vocal part. The sections in Fathom correlate to data collected prior to, during and immediately following Hurricane Sandy, weaving in stories and history of the life, industry and beauty of the Hudson Valley.

The project is partially funded by New Music USA, and both of the composer/ performers have powerful reputations in the avant-garde music field. Ben Neill has been dubbed “the mad scientist of dancefloor jazz” by CMJ New Music Report; Goese has been described by Brian Eno as having “a sort of Alice in Wonderland voice.”

Neill and Goese, along with playwright Warren Leight, were commissioned by the Brooklyn Academy of Music to create the theatrical work Persephone (starring Julia Stiles) for the 2010 Next Wave Festival.

The composers ask that video submissions be less than one minute long and feature the Hudson River prominently in some way; videos of Hurricane Sandy are of particular interest. All producers of footage used in the final productions will be credited. Technical specifications for video submissions are listed online at www.mimigoeseandbenneill.com.

If you wish to attend the Science Café premiere of Fathom, which begins at 7 p.m. on Thursday, November 17, you need to preregister at www.bire.org/events. Admission is free, but attendees are encouraged to arrive early, dine, imbibe and enjoy the venue. The Towne Crier Café is located at 379 Main Street in Beacon.

is also a poet. Or you can hike through the Platte Clove Preserve to discover an interesting large quarry overlooking the Hudson Valley known as Codfish Point, where workers were once stranded for days during a snowstorm and subsisted on canned codfish.

Or perhaps you’ve already seen all the local sights and want to explore a bit farther afield. At DiCaprio Park in Albany,

you can meet up with guides who know their way around the Pine Bush Preserve and take a one-mile walk that highlights the region’s biodiversity.

Ever feel envious of Europeans, living as they do within a landscape littered with dolmens, menhirs and other mysterious stone structures that date back to prehistoric times? Catskill artist Matt Bua is of the opinion that North America is similarly gifted with plentiful remnants of pre-Columbian architecture and technology. And we’re not just talking about the Mound Builders of the Midwest here, or the Anasazi and Fremont petroglyphs that decorate the canyons of the American Southwest. Bua believes that many of the ubiquitous stone walls of the Northeast countryside predate European contact, and he has been devoting a lot of research to building his case.

Bua has a new book out on the subject, titled Talking Walls: Casting out the PostContact Stone-Wall Building Myth. In it, he scrutinizes the oft-repeated story of the origins of the Northeast’s famed stone walls. Were 252,000 miles of stone walls (enough to reach the far side of the Moon) in fact built by European colonists in a period of roughly 100 years, or are they perhaps much, much older?

Employing a mountain of testimony from archaeological sources, popular history and hands-on investigation, Bua’s book draws closer to a new reading of our shared landscape and its ancient past.

Talking Walls includes a case study of a stone wall complex in Kiskatom, on the western edge of the town of Catskill.

Is this breakthrough historical scholarship, long-overdue credit for the inventiveness of the indigenous peoples of our region, wacky New-Agey archaeological revisionism á la Chariots of the Gods? Read the book, hear the author make his argument and decide for yourself. Matt Bua will be giving a reading and book-signing at 2 p.m. this Saturday, September 3 at the Golden Notebook, located at 29 Tinker Street in Woodstock.

Treasures of lasting value that will change your life – forever. That’s what you’ll find at Mirabai, or perhaps what will find you.

Wisdom, serenity, transformation.

Value beyond measure.

Rainbow Kids group at LGBTQ Community Center “What gender are you when you dream?” asks Dr. Johanna Olson, medical director of the Center for Transyouth Health & Development in Los Angeles. Is your child transgender or gender nonconforming? Perhaps you could use some outside support to help you remain present and connected to your child. Have you heard of Rainbow Kids? It’s a play and craft group for transgender and gender nonconforming youth at the Hudson Valley LGBTQ Community Center, with a separate gathering at the same time for supportive parents and caregivers. The next meetup takes place this Sunday, September 4 from 5 to 6:30 p.m.

Why go? Group co-founder Stephanie Ellis explains: “Research indicates that family support is a crucial factor for the long-term wellbeing of transgender and gender nonconforming people. Rainbow Kids is a safe place for transgender and gender nonconforming children and their supportive family members to come together and support each other in a society that can be unaccepting of their existence.” The materials fee for Rainbow Kids is $20 per family.

The Hudson Valley LBGTQ Community Center is located at 300 Wall Street in Kingston. For more information, call (845) 331-5300 or visit http://lgbtqcenter. org.

NEW YORK RENAISSANCE FAIRE

et thy “Forsooth!” and “Verily!” on and bring your kids, along with plenty of $1 and $5 bills, to the New York Renaissance Faire! Walking around the Faire feels like being transported across the centuries to the times of Leonardo da Vinci and Queen Elizabeth I. The period costumes, quaint shoppes with extra Es on the end of their names and excellent medievalthemed food make me want to trade in my Subaru for a mighty steed.

Also, everyone speaks in an English accent and says “Thank thee,” instead of “Thank you.” I worked that into my Fairespeake and even called my son a “young knave” at one point.

But to me, the biggest reason to attend the Renaissance Faire is the wonderful entertainment. All day long throughout the Sterling Forest, on stages, random benches or just strolling the grounds, talented and engaging performers give us their all, and the tradition is to tip them at the end of each show. But my hands-down, top recommendation is Aaron Bonk, who is hilarious with the audience, and skilled with fiery whips and balancing swords, and not to be missed! My son also really enjoyed the live chess battles, and my daughter especially delighted at the Stewart & Arnold knife-throwing performance. The rides are all people-powered, which adds considerable charm, and my daughter couldn’t get enough of the Whirly Burly swing-mobile.

You can wear pretty much anything at the Renaissance Faire, but period clothing abounds. You can even visit the vendors there to get started on your own outfit: Everything from jewelry to suits of armor is available. Just like eating a huge turkey leg here is de rigueur, I think you should take a photo on the Kissing Bridge with your beloved, and watch the joust, which is held in the afternoon and evening. Come out for Time Travelers’ Weekend, where fairegoers are encouraged to come dressed in a costume from across the eras: September 3 is Fantasy Saturday, so dress in your “true” form, whether dragon or fairy; September 4 is Steampunk Sunday, where the fashion is basically Victorian-meetssteam-driven-industrial; and September 5 is Barbarian Monday, where you get to be a bad gal/guy.

The Renaissance Faire operates Saturdays, Sundays and Labor Day through October 2 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., rain or shine. Tickets cost $25 for ages 13 and up and $12 for ages 5 to 12; admission is free for children under 5 years of age, and group, military and senior discounts are available. The Renaissance Faire is located at Sterling Forest at 600 Route 17A in Tuxedo. For more information or discount coupons, call (845) 351-5171 or visit http://renfair.com/ny. To learn more about our family’s favorite performers, visit www.aaronbonk.com and www. facebook.com/stewartandarnold. See you anon!
