Woody Guthrie benefit concert at Towne Crier

The Towne Crier Café, located at 379 Main Street in Beacon, will host the eighth annual benefit dinner for the sloop Woody Guthrie on Thursday, February 27. A cocktail hour and appetizers begin at 5 p.m. A buffet dinner follows at 6 p.m. with a raffle and door prizes. Live music will be provided by Painted Betty, a band of musicians from the Hudson Valley known for blending elements of rock, jazz, blues, funk, country, folk and tango into a good time.

Tickets cost $75. The proceeds will benefit a major restoration of the Woody.

The boat is styled after Dutch designs that sailed the Hudson throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, and in the spring and fall provides free public sails out of Beacon Harbor. Reservations are required by Monday, February 24. Space is limited, so early reservations are suggested at www. woodydinner.brownpapertickets.com or www.beaconsloopclub.org.

HOT TIME Rosendale Rec Center hosts Women’s Studio Workshop’s Chili Bowl Fiesta this Saturday

T

he Women’s Studio Workshop (WSW) will transform the Rosendale Recreation Center into a colorful, cactusfilled celebration for the 17th annual Chili Bowl Fiesta fundraiser on Saturday, February 22 from 2 to 7 p.m. Admission costs $5 from 2 to 4 p.m. and is free from 4 to 7 p.m. Live music by Dog on Fleas (pictured above) begins at 4 p.m.

A selection of more than 800 locally crafted ceramic bowls and tumblers is available for purchase. Each item will come with a hearty helping of chili, donated by more than 20 local restaurants and chefs.

To prepare for the event, WSW’s ceramic studio buzzes with activity for weeks before, as local artists and volunteers create unique pieces by hand or on the potter’s wheel that are glazed, decorated and fired in the WSW kilns. Shape, size, color, patterns and decorations are widely varied. Hunt for the perfect match between bowl and buyer or opt to buy a paper bowl.

Bottom-less bellies can purchase additional scoops beyond the initial serving. Options will be available for both vegetarians and meat-lovers.

The Rosendale Recreation Center is located at 1055 Route 32 in Rosendale. For more information, contact the Women’s Studio Workshop at (845) 658-9133 or visit www.wsworkshop.org.

I

n the language of working musicians and hustling songwriters, “listening room” means something special – something that has little to do with physical venues per se. Certainly the words evoke a woody warmth, vaulted ceilings and the funky, high-character particulars of repurposed performance spaces in churches, shopfronts, galleries, museums, functional halls, old homes and their out buildings: small, intimate and, we hope, acoustically flattering, the Victorian plumbing and HVAC notwithstanding.

But for players, none of that is what makes “listening room” shows so desirable and often prestigious despite their grassroots, potluck modesty. The words are code, actually. They translate to: an audience, a reliable, proven audience of a known character and composition. The artists come to see the audience. They come to experience a culture of close, ritualized attention to performance. They come to carve their names into a legacy of heightened evenings in cool spaces.

But – make no mistake – the crowds are

the show. It is their relationships, rituals and communal intentions on display. The musicians are the help.

Music isn’t the wallpaper; the wallpaper (curling, yellowed, but William Morris) is the wallpaper. Music is the thing.

Money isn’t the thing, but listening-room communities – radical patrons in their own way – dig a little deeper when hats are passed. Thus, the shows often have one final pleasant surprise in store for performers, as if it you weren’t already humbled enough by a crowd that ripples with laughter at the passing puns in your lyrics.

Listening rooms thrive in the Hudson Valley. With the Howland in Beacon, the Phoenicia Railway Museum, the Anvil Gallery at Tech Smiths in Kingston, the Tin Roof Sessions in New Paltz, the original Falcon in Tony Falco’s barn loft, every suitable art space in Woodstock and of course Pauline Oliveros’ Deep Listening branded empire, it can be said of us that we value the devalued art of listening.

And we understand that attendance is activism. Go, us!

It is a truth universally acknowledged that young bands enjoy the enormous advantage of the spontaneous, easily mobilized fanbase. This is true in the bars

40th Anniversary Season Concert II:“The Present”

Tuesday, February 25, 2014, 8:00pm McKenna Theatre, SUNY New Paltz The concert will focus on some of the composers who came to fame during the Pone’ Ensemble’s 40 years: André Previn, Bright Sheng, Gundaris Poné and Madeleine Dring Special pre-concert talk with the musicians, hosted by local musician and writer John Burdick at 7:30pm.

and rec halls; but in the listening-room culture, an older crowd shows the kids the finer points of how this music sent/ music received thing really works.

HVSS – we’ll call it that because Hudson Valley Sudbury School Music Night is a mouthful – has established itself as one of the choicest cherries among listeningroom shows in the region. This privateschool benefit series has been running on the last Friday of each month for four years now. Its setting is the spacious, tiered living room of local artist and baker Mor Pipman in her house at the Old Glenford Church, a few miles past Woodstock on Route 28. It’s a venue larger than many small music clubs, and in every way more curious. Pipman’s themed and seasonal meals, cooked and served in her kitchen, are the stuff of legend and an essential part of the HVSS allure.

Singer Carmen Senski books and manages the music end of HVSS Music Night. Senski, who performs in Doug Yoel’s cosmic country collective Sin City, will often sit in with the HVSS acts. The two acts per event typically lean toward singer/songwriter, folk and the music of them thar hills, but it’s a subtle preponderance. HVSS is actually one of the more adventurous and eclectic series around. Decibelity is less an issue than you might expect.

Bands tend to bring their drummers.

The greatest single HVSS night that I attended featured the remarkable and unique Duke McVinnie Band, an electric chamber-rock outfit that routinely cycles between whispery atmospherics and fits and spells of avant-garde cacophony. This crowd has heard it all before.

HVSS Music Night celebrates its fourth anniversary on Friday, February 28. On the bill are the exploratory instrumental trio TN3 – featuring A-list local players in guitarist Todd Nelson, bassist Kyle Esposito and ubiqui-drummer Manuel Quintana – and the Trapps, a New Paltz roots/rock institution and the shapeshifting vehicle of singer/songwriter Sean Schenker.

The $5 suggested donation at the door benefits the Hudson Valley Sudbury School. The doors and kitchen open at 6 p.m., and the music runs from 7 until 9. All ages are welcome. Full dinner is available at an affordable price. Vegan and vegetarian options are always included, as well as desserts, hot coffee, teas and homebrewed iced teas. Bring your own bottle if you prefer other drinks with dinner.

HVSS Music Night takes place at the Old Glenford Church at 210 Old Route 28 in Glenford. For additional information,

T

he Floridian band Surfer Blood’s high crunch factor and Bowieand Beatlesque hooks buoyed by cheeky pop/rock beats will remind you of the ’90s in the best ways. It’s deliriously tuneful and layered guitar pop with surprising musical range and an undercurrent of pop experimentalism. Pythons, their second full-length, is a taut, sonically rich masterwork of pop pith that straddles indie and big-beat modern rock in a way that could pay off in any number of demographics. It’s hookier than hell, and even features some polite screamo on a few tracks.

Surfer Blood are the latest in a series of blue-chip up-and-comers to target BSP in Kingston on their way up. They’ll be in town on Friday, February 21.

Shana Falana Sings Herself to Sleep: a new “audio scrapbook” collection

Q

uickly now: If you are into lo-fi, audio collage, stream-of-consciousness documentation, diaries and other modes of accretive autobiography, or if you love the unmistakable sound of mono cassette decks with built-in condenser mics, you simply must acquire a copy of Shana Falana’s new and unusual release, Shana Falana Sings Herself to Sleep.

The Hudson Valley’s psychedelic rock dreamweaver compiled this hourlong audio scrapbook from her time as a fixture on the San Francisco music scene in the 1990s. Demos, collages, audio diaries recorded in a bathtub, disjunctive THIS RICH, OVERGROWN experiments, meandering piano GARDEN interludes and proper tracks from her of miscellany, rarities and psychic serious projects are woven together effluvium could well find its own in a spellbinding, often-funny place in the canon of Outsider art document of an artist’s progress in and artifact-based personal memoir a specific time and place.

Great songs, half-songs and shouldhave-been-songs abound. The range of Falana’s musical ambition is kinda startling. Many snippets evoke Daniel Johnston’s inspired naïveté and the proud half-competence of early Guided by Voices, but other tracks foreshadow the careful and artful psychedelic layering for which she has become known around here, especially “Long Time Coming,” “Tragic Magic” and the splendidly beautiful “Home.” The noisy lo-fi helium pop of “Thank You” is a revelation, as is the irresistibly sassy “I Have a Date.”

“Peanutbuttersandwich” offers a sweet and extended metaphor very much in the spirit of the Velvet Underground’s “I’m Sticking with You.” That plainsong folksterism finds additional support in Falana’s hilarious and moving feminist update of Harry McClintock’s “Big Rock Candy Mountains.”

Shana Falana Sings Herself to Sleep is obviously a must-have for fans of Falana’s current music, but this rich, overgrown garden of miscellany, rarities and psychic effluvium could well find its own place in the canon of Outsider art and artifactbased personal memoir. It is only available via contribution to her Indiegogo “Send Shana Falana to Europe” campaign. The digital download with associated graphics and documents can be secured for a mere $10 (a stupid bargain). For $18, get it on cassette, where it belongs. And act fast: The campaign closes in late February. Visit www.indiegogo.com/projects/send-shana-falana-to-europe for more information.

Building outside the box The Lego Movie packs many levels of thoughtful fun for audiences of all ages

S

ometimes the most accessible and pleasurable antidote to midwinter cabin fever is a movie that’s really lightweight, silly and fun. Hollywood studios usually seem to assume that the time when we most want to see such movies is midsummer. But the runaway success of Phil Lord and Chris Miller’s The Lego Movie – released in February, the traditional dumping ground for film projects deemed stillborn – may be giving them some pause. In fact, it seems to be just what the doctor ordered for an American audience grown weary of an epic-scale, old-fashioned cold, snowy winter.

Aside from lots of positive prerelease buzz, a large part of the instant success of The Lego Movie must be attributed to its strong cross-generational appeal. Little kids will be dazzled by it, of course; but young adults of the generations who grew up on the plastic construction toys will also be in it for the nostalgia value; while older folks still shell-shocked by the harsh, cynical lewdness of The Wolf of Wall Street may seek in The Lego Movie a comforting respite.

The Lego Movie

You definitely don’t have to be a kid to enjoy this animated extravaganza set almost entirely in a toy-built universe.

In fact, lots of the jokes – which come at the viewer in as rapid-fire succession as the breakneck chase scenes – will go way over the heads of the littl’uns.

They won’t get w h a t ’s f u n n y about calling some magical MacGuffin the Piece of Resistance, or naming a wizardly mentor character Vitruvius (voiced

by Morgan Freeman). They won’t realize (nor will most adult viewers, probably) that Cloud Cuckoo Land – one of the many parallel Lego worlds visited by the movie’s heroes in their quest to save their universe from permanent gluing – is actually a time-honored allegorical term for an overoptimistic dreamworld that originated in Aristophanes’ play The Birds.

No matter. Kids will have fun anyway, while the grownups find plenty of satirical meat to chew on and opportunities to play pop-culture spot-the-meme to keep them from getting bored or choking on saccharine cuteness. (Not just pop

culture, actually; Shakespeare, Lincoln, Michelangelo and Leonardo all have cameo appearances as well.)

Many adults, of course, will be resistant to the notion of patronizing a movie that could reasonably be characterized as an hour-anda-half-long toy commercial. It is, and the spinoff merchandising associated with the film’s release will be ten times worse. But the odd thing is that the narrative and attitude of The Lego Movie are in many ways subversive of the product for which they are the placement, and toss some bricks at consumerist capitalism in general. It’s no coincidence that the villain of the story is named President/Lord Business (Will Ferrell). The avowed mission of Business is to make the denizens of the Lego universe work in lockstep, follow the instructions at all times, never do anything truly creative or mess up his preconceived notions of a perfect conformist society. People who try to make something quirky, different, outside-the-Lego-box will be crushed along with their creations.

But the movie’s message is not quite so simple as that. Refreshingly, this is not a story of exceptionalist leaders triumphing. Those leaders are there, yes: the Master Builders, who can and do make anything if enough Lego blocks

are handy. But the other side to the story is the balancing importance of teamwork.

The protagonist is Emmet (Chris Pratt), a bland construction drone without a creative idea in his head, who is President Business’ ideal Lego citizen – that is, until he blunders into the Piece of Resistance and is acclaimed as the prophesied “Special” piece who will defeat the evil superweapon known as the Kragle. The Master Builders’ hopes in him are swiftly deflated by Emmet’s incapacity for original thinking; but without him their cause is sunk, because they are a bunch of prima donnas who just can’t work together.

Only when every citizen’s imagination is freed can the rebellion against Business succeed.

On a meta-level, the broader theme of The Lego Movie is about the dangers of playing God. Anyone can do that in a roomful of Lego toys, it says; but whether

February 20, 2014 one chooses to be a creative, benevolent deity or a repressive, tyrannical one is another matter. There’s a message about the responsibilities of parenthood as well; but here we stray too close to the edge of spoiler territory to pontificate further.

As an example of the cutting edge of the craft of computer animation, The Lego Movie is being compared to 2012’s WreckIt Ralph in its innovative exploration of different environments. Since the newer movie is constrained to some degree by its dependence on every one of its alternate “worlds” being made from plastic bricks, I’d give the edge in the visuals department to Ralph, whose settings and characters are as wildly varied in design as the computergame scenarios that they represent. But The Lego Movie certainly pushes the envelope of what can be done onscreen with computer-generated visuals, and positively begs to be seen in 3-D. Breezy, funny and smarter than it looks, The Lego Movie will wow you – although if you’re not fond of hyperkinetic action onscreen, without an occasional slower scene thrown in to allow the viewer to

catch up with what’s going on, you may find yourself quite exhausted by the end.

Do hang in through the closing credits, though: That’s when the funniest of the Master Builder characters, the exaggeratedly dark and brooding Batman (Will Arnett), gets a chance to perform a full-length version of the gloomy autobiographical song that he has been tinkering with earlier in the film, “Untitled Self-Portrait.” It’s a goof, and well-worth the wait. After this, movie Batmen will never be quite the same.

Ode to a musical vehicle for joy – and protest Upstate Films Rhinebeck to screen Following the Ninth

T

he great paintings and sculptures that were liberated near the end of World War II from their intended destination in a “FĂźhrermuseum,â€? as depicted in the current movie The Monuments Men, were not the only iconic works of art that Adolf Hitler wanted to appropriate for himself.

He also tried very hard to turn the masterpieces of classical music by German-born composers into theme songs for his ideology of Aryan supremacy. With Richard Wagner, an enthusiastic anti-Semite in his lifetime, the Nazis’ success was lasting: Many cultured people – Jews particularly – still find Wagner’s works difficult to listen to today.

But Ludwig van Beethoven was another story. He had been a bit of a rebel in his youth, influenced by the ideals of the Enlightenment and particularly by the French Revolution.

And Friedrich Schiller’s “Ode to Joy,� which Beethoven adapted into the transcendent finale of his Ninth Symphony, contains lines like “All men shall become brothers� and “This kiss is for the whole world!� Those hardly qualify as fascist sentiments.

There was no way that the world was going to let Hitler redefine Beethoven or keep the glorious Ninth to himself. People around the globe have stolen that masterpiece back, embraced it and put it to use in ways that would make the reviled dictator squirm in his grave, if he had one. Kerry Candaele’s documentary Following the Ninth: In the Footsteps of Beethoven’s Final Symphony tells the stories of some of the ways in which that music has inspired solidarity, courage and political resistance, often in surprising places. The film will be screened on Thursday, February 27 at Upstate Films in Rhinebeck, with co-producer Greg Mitchell on hand for a discussion.

Everyone knows the story about Leonard Bernstein conducting a performance of Beethoven’s Ninth amidst the rubble of the Berlin Wall in 1989, soon after its dismantling. Less familiar are some of the other applications of the work depicted in

the film. That same year, Chinese student protestors in Tienanmen Square blasted the Ninth over loudspeakers to drown out a political speech by premier Li Peng. South Africans adopted the “Ode to Joy� as their theme song for the Olympics, replacing an earlier pro-Apartheid anthem. British punk/folk iconoclast Billy Bragg wrote some new verses in English and sang them to Queen Elizabeth II. The Japanese people especially have taken the “Ode� to their hearts, learning the lyrics in German so that they can sing it in mass performances to celebrate the New Year – kind of like American church congregations doing Messiah sing-ins, but sometimes on a scale of thousands. The film shows us footage of a performance that filled an entire sports stadium with a huge chorus of amateurs in the wake of the 2011 earthquake and tsunami.

Perhaps the most heartrending segment of Following the Ninth consists of grainy footage of crowds of women in Chile under the Pinochet dictatorship, risking arrest by singing the “Ode to Joyâ€? in Spanish (“Himno a la AlegrĂ­aâ€?) outside the walls of detention centers where political prisoners were being held. Their intent was to give the desaparecidos a message that they had not been forgotten; and the message got through. Both a woman who was among the singers and a man who heard them while enduring imprisonment and torture are interviewed in the film, testifying to the power of that song in keeping hope alive in dark times.

The filmmakers collected footage from 12 countries in all, documenting the ways in which this career-capping work by a 19th-century Flemish/German composer has gone on to transform thousands if not millions of lives in modern times. The full screening and discussion will commence at 8 p.m. on February 27. While you wait, you can catch enticing snippets of Following the Ninth in an extended trailer at www.youtube.com/watch?v=I90_deaEFus. – Frances Marion Platt Following the Ninth screening with co-producer Greg Mitchell, Thursday, February 27, 8 p.m., $10/$6, Upstate Films, 6415 Montgomery Street (Route 9), Rhinebeck; (845) 876-2515, http://upstatefilms.org.

pictures and appeared in more than 200 radio broadcasts as the great detective and his affable assistant. While the first two pictures were set at the time of the original Conan Doyle stories, the rest updated the settings to the then-present times: a habit that continues to this day with two modern-day Sherlocks appearing on British and American television.

The House of Fear is loosely based on the Conan Doyle story “The Five Orange Pips� and deals with the reclusive members of a secluded club, each of whom is being brutally murdered one by one. Holmes and Watson travel to the village of Inverneill and make their way to Drearcliffe House, where the terrible murders have occurred.

The program will begin with selected shorts: trailers for the upcoming films in the series, a Woody Woodpecker cartoon in dye-transfer Technicolor, a 1944 short, Swingtime Holiday, and the 1936 serial Flash Gordon starring Buster Crabbe.

There will be an intermission followed by the screening of The House of Fear.

R

emember the kids’ party game Telephone? It’s reportedly played all over the world; but depending on where you grew up, you may know it as Gossip, Grapevine, Operator, Secret Message, Pass the Message or the now-politically-incorrect Chinese Whispers.

Whatever the name, it works the same: Player One whispers a phrase or short sentence into the ear of Player Two, softly enough that no one else can hear it. Player Two whispers it to Player Three, and so on and on until the message comes to the end of the line. The final player recites aloud what he or she recalls hearing – at which point hilarity generally ensues, since the finished product bears little or no resemblance to the original utterance.

Telephone is used by teachers to train hyperactive kids to use their “inside voices” and to illustrate the potential harm in gossip. It’s even used to help teach people pronunciation in a foreign language. But mostly, people have been doing it for ages because it’s silly and fun. There have even been international Telephone games spanning six continents.

Nature Theater of Oklahoma – an innovative, Obie-winning art and performance group that is, contrary to its name, based in New York City – has taken the concept of Telephone to a higher level of absurdism. To create a new play, its principals began calling friends on the telephone and asking them to explain the plot of Romeo and Juliet in a few sentences. They recorded and transcribed the phone calls, then turned a series of those transcripts of garbled Shakespeare, verbatim, into theatrical

vignettes for the production of Nature Theater of Oklahoma’s Romeo & Juliet to be performed this weekend in Theater Two of the Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts at Bard College.

The series of three performances, plus the US premiere screening of a documentary about the avant-garde theater troupe, are the latest manifestation of an ambitious artist-in-residence program called Live Arts Bard (LAB) that began in 2012. That first year, LAB brought in punk cabaret singer Amanda Palmer do a residency, making a music video with Bard students; meanwhile, her husband, superstar fantasy author Neil Gaiman, taught a master class that ultimately led to his taking up a five-year faculty stint at the college.

Exposure to these hot talents is certainly a boon for Bard arts students; but the benefits also spill over into the broader community, providing opportunities to catch the likes of Nature Theater of Oklahoma without making the trek down to Manhattan. The group has described its creative mission as “making the work they don’t know how to make, putting themselves in impossible situations and working from out of their own ignorance and unease…to create an unsettling live situation that demands total presence from everyone in the room,” using “the ready-made material around us, found space, overheard speech and observed gesture.”

Shot during the group’s 21-day “takeover” of the Hebbel Theater in Berlin last summer, Nature Theater of Oklahoma: The Movie! will be screened this Saturday, February 22 at 2 p.m. in the Jim Ottaway,

Jr. Film Center, located in the Avery Arts Center on the Bard campus. Admission is free, but reservations are required via the Fisher Center box office at (845) 7587900.

The performances of Romeo & Juliet will begin at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, February 21 and 22, with a 2 p.m. matinée on Sunday, February 23. A discussion with the artists – directors Pavol Liska and Kelly Copper and cast members Anne Gridley, Robert M. Johanson and Elisabeth Conner – will follow the Fr i d a y n i g h t show. General admission tickets cost $25 and are available at the Fisher Center box office at http:// fishercenter.bard. edu or by calling (845) 758-7900.

Nature Theater of Oklahoma will return to campus in June 2014 to create Episode 7 of its acclaimed Life & Times series, commissioned by Live Arts Bard. Gridley, a Bard alumna (class of ’02), is already teaching in Bard’s Theater & Performance Program this semester.

Digging up the dirt SUNY-New Paltz revives Sam Shepard’s Buried Child he drama that in 1978 firmly established Sam Shepard’s name among the pantheon of great modern playwrights, Buried Child, is a strange and challenging piece of work. By turns grim, darkly comedic and mystifyingly symbolic, the Pulitzer Prizewinning play examines the crumbling of the American Dream through the breakdown of one rural family with some serious skeletons in its closet.

Set against a 1970s landscape of drought, recession and the decline of the family farm, Buried Child has reclaimed its sociopolitical relevance in these times of economic paralysis and disastrous climate change. That makes it an apt vehicle for revival by the Department of Theatre Arts at SUNY-New Paltz, in the intimate

Tom Hiddleston stars in National Theatre’s Coriolanus in Rosendale Ask random Shakespeare fans what their favorite is among the Bard’s plays, and the likelihood is very low that many – if indeed any, unless they’re actors – will mention Coriolanus.

T. S. Eliot reportedly preferred it to Hamlet, but most audiences find it a tough play to like. And it tends not to get staged very often, so many have never had a chance to see it performed. The

second Best Actress Oscar when she took over the role of Blanche for the 1951 movie version.

The Up in One production of Streetcar is directed by Diana di Grandi. Deborah Coconis will play Blanche, Joshuah Patriarco Stanley, Emily DePew Stella and Kevin McCarthy Blanche’s bemused suitor Mitch. The set design is by Bill Ross, costumes

by Donna Letteri and lighting design by Andy Weintraub.

Performances of A Streetcar Named Desire begin at 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, February 21, 22, 28 and March 1, with matinées at 3 p.m. on Sundays, February 23 and March 2. Tickets go for $22 for adults, $20 for seniors and children and $15 for students with ID, and can be ordered at (845) 876-3080 or www. centerforperformingarts.org.

exception occurs in periods of social unrest and unpopular military campaigns, when the tragedy’s themes begin to seem more pertinent to modern times.

These being unsettled times, marked by unpopular wars and lots of political backstabbing, revivals of Coriolanus are on the upswing. And one of the hot contemporary actors recently tempted to jump into the role was Tom Hiddleston, best-known to American audiences for his performances as the slightly-mad-butcharismatic bad guy Loki in the Thor and Avengers movie franchises. Hiddleston has been getting enthusiastic notices for his nuanced interpretation of the embattled Roman in the production of Coriolanus

by Britain’s Donmar Warehouse, directed

by Josie Rourke. Also starring are Mark Gatiss as the senator Menenius, Deborah Findlay as Volumnia, Hadley Fraser as the Volscian commander Aufidius and Birgitte Hjort Sørensen as Coriolanus’ wife Virgilia, with Alfred Enoch as Titus Lartius, who later went on to become Rome’s first dictator.

The London run ended last week, but a performance on January 30 was captured for posterity by the National Theatre Live from London folks. Serious Shakespeare aficionados and Marvel Comics geeks alike should be pleased to hear that Coriolanus will be shown on Sunday, February 23 at 2 p.m. at the Rosendale Theatre, at $12 general admission and $10 for Rosendale Theatre Collective members.

Check it out, and discover a Shakespeare work that isn’t overly familiar and that resonates with today’s geopolitical zeitgeist – or just feast your eyes on that guy who got voted Sexiest Man Alive by MTV readers in December. For more information, call the Rosendale Theatre at (845) 658-8989.

he creative minds of Up in One Productions are at it again, returning to the Center for Performing Arts in Rhinebeck for the next two weekends with a show that’s about as different from their last production there – the gloriously goofy Monty Python’s Spamalot – as could be imagined. Beginning this Friday, February 21, the barnlike theatre will host six performances of Tennessee Williams’ classic 1947 drama A Streetcar Named Desire. Doesn’t a mental visit to steamy New Orleans sound like an appealing break from the harsh winter weather?

The winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1948, Streetcar introduced to the American theatre the iconic character of the unstable, fauxgenteel Southern belle Blanche Du Bois, who loses her ancestral plantation and moves in with her bullied sister Stella and coarse, domineering brother-in-law Stanley Kowalski. The original Broadway production made stars of Marlon Brando and Jessica Tandy; Vivien Leigh won her

“A GRANDCHILD can remind one of that part of your heart that first opened, that you didn’t even know was there, when your children were first born.”

– Peter Blum, hypnotist & sound healer

Feb. 20-27 A close call!

I

received a shocking e-mail this week from my friends Julie and Jim Hyland in New Paltz, and they gave me permission to share it with you, in hopes that it may help others. Thank you, Hylands!

“Around ten o’clock last night, after watching some Olympics and anticipating a snow day, one of our carbon monoxide detectors started beeping. ‘ No real alarm, probably a bad battery,’ I thought – until I quickly realized the one in the basement was going off, too. We started opening windows and got the family quickly onto the porch and called 911. Remember: You can’t smell carbon monoxide – our only warning was the eight-year-old detectors we had in the house. Firetrucks came quickly (thank you, New Paltz Fire Department!). This was not a false alarm; the levels were high in the house, and very high in the basement. Kimlin, our propane supplier, came to the house at 11:30 (during the storm!). They found the problem: A bird nest had fallen into the chimney and blocked the vent for the hot water system. The propane was turned off and the house cleared and checked by the NPFD until the levels were at zero.

We asked the fire chief what the potential danger may have been: ‘You might not have woken up tomorrow morning.’ We will be getting new detectors today, and we are asking all our friends and family to do the same!”

favorite area families, either as player participants with special needs or as “buddies.” What a program!

“Babe Ruth League believes that every child should have the opportunity to participate in baseball or softball. The Bambino Buddy-Ball League helps to make that dream a reality for physically and/or mentally challenged ballplayers. With the help of a special ‘buddy’ to swing a bat, round the bases or catch a ball, ballplayers are able to experience the thrills of the game. The Bambino Buddy-Ball League is designed to foster confidence and selfesteem, make memories and have fun. An emotionally rewarding experience for all, ‘buddies’ achieve satisfaction from their involvement while the athletes benefit from the opportunity to participate in organized sports, physical fitness and social events and outings.”

Before the season opens, the league has two remaining introductory workshops for parents and participants interested in the program, on Sunday, February 23 and Sunday, March 2 from 3 to 4 p.m. at the Marlboro Middle School Gym, located at 1375 Route 9W in Marlboro: “The goal of the workshops is to promote interest in the program, provide parents with a broader overview of the program, work on some basic skills and fundamentals with the children and conclude each session with a game much like would be played outdoors in the spring.”

Preregistration is not required, but please e-mail Heather Nikola at heather. nikola@gmail.com if you would like to participate or for more information.

Note: “We are going to need someone to step up and assume the role of coach for the Buddy-Ball team this season.

The founder and charter director of the Buddy-Ball program for Marlboro Youth, Heather Nikola, is expecting her second child this spring. Heather will stay on as director and handle the administrative responsibilities, but needs someone to be the ‘coach.’ For more information, anyone interested in assuming this role may contact Heather by e-mail or speak with her in person at one of the upcoming workshops.”

The cost is $75 and includes dinner, but seating is limited. Some scholarships are available.

Marlboro’s Falcon exhibits shadow artistry & remastered portraits of Sydney Cash

S

ydney Cash will be showing his renowned glass-and-mirror works alongside a new body of “remastered portraits” at the Falcon in Marlboro, his longtime creative home, through April. There will be an artist’s reception there on Saturday, March 8, at 4:30 to 6 p.m.

“I grew up making stuff,” Cash recalls of his childhood in Detroit. “My first job, when I was four, was straightening nails for my uncle, who made trunks and suitcases. I had a workshop when I was

5 years old. In Detroit, everybody was a tinkerer. I thought I was going to be an engineer. It wasn’t until I had moved to New York and started a business called Gargoyles, where I made reproductions of antique wood carvings, that I started playing around with mirrors.”

Cash’s works, involving glass, mirrors and projected shadows, have been collected by the likes of the Museum of Modern Art, the Corning Museum of

Glass and Le Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. He has had more than 40 oneperson exhibitions worldwide and created works on commission for the New York City Metropolitan Transit Authority and MoMA, as well as the Falcon.

“I got a loft in TriBeCa to bend glass, and one day said, ‘This is art!’” Cash recalled.

“Ivan Karp, one of the first gallerists in the SoHo scene, started showing my work...

known for wearing a kitchen timer on my coat to precisely keep track of my glass kilns.”

In 1983, Cash was doing well enough as an artist to move upstate to Marlboro and start a second family. He says that what has followed has been a drive to pay more attention to inventiveness than the strictures of career; which hasn’t always been what his many galleries have wanted from him. At times he has received grants and awards, and has had a profitable business making glass jewelry.

Cash’s new portrait work riffs on the classics of art history; he has described the techniques as being like Chinese brush painting without being Chinese – or using a brush. He says that it’s a perfect antidote for the methodical progression of his larger projects, satisfying for being very “of the moment.” And it’s getting

responses, already, from galleries in Europe and closer to home.

We talked about retrospectives, of which Cash has had one: at Yeshiva University Museum in New York City in 2001. He’s ripe for more, liking the way that they help him understand how his work relates over the span of a career. In the meantime, the Swiss watch company, Rado, commissioned director Yaara Sumeruk to make videos profiling inspirational contemporary artists, including Cash. To see the Marlboro artist at work creating his light sculptures, visit http://cargocollective.com/sydneycash/ Rado-Unlimited-Spirit-Video.

I asked whether, far from his childhood in Detroit, Cash feels comfortable calling himself an artist and not a tinkerer. “It’s a title I’ve come to deserve,” he said. “I’ve been dedicated and tenacious, and even

GALLERY

ROAD SHOW Sara Macel and Tabula Rasa shows at Center for Photography at Woodstock

T

he Center for Photography at Woodstock (CPW) opened its 2014 exhibition program with “May the Road Rise to Meet You,” a solo exhibition by Sara Macel, and “Tabula Rasa,” a group show curated by CPW’s executive director, Ariel Shanberg.

“May the Road Rise to Meet You” provides an opportunity to travel along on one of the last business trips of a man who spent 40 years as a traveling salesman: the photographer’s father, Dennis Anthony Macel. The photographs are inextricably linked to the great tradition of American road photography. Macel’s contribution to this ongoing visual vernacular presents us with a carefully crafted spin on American snapshots, creating a family album filled with the story of a father’s solitary pursuit to provide for his family.

“Tabula Rasa” (Latin for “blank slate”) brings forth three dynamic visual artists: Anouk Kruithof, Sara Skorgan Teigen and Sonja Thomsen. Through their site-specific photo-based installations, each expands on the language of memory, the veracity of photographic impression and the infinite space held in between and around the photograph.

The Center for Photography at Woodstock is located at 59 Tinker Street in Woodstock. For more information, call (845) 679-9957 or visit www.cpw.org.

Dorsky Museum issues call for Hudson Valley Artists 2014 entries The Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art at SUNY-New Paltz invites artists working in all media to submit proposals for its annual exhibition of work by artists from the Hudson Valley. Selection for the exhibition will be made by Ian Berry, director of the Tang Museum at Skidmore College. A specialist in contemporary art and a leader in the field of college and university museums, Berry joined Skidmore as the Tang’s founding curator in 2000 and was named director in 2012.

The deadline for artist submissions to “Worlds of Wonder: Hudson Valley Artists 2014” is Monday, March 24 at midnight.

Artists are encouraged to submit work that creates connections across time, media and subject. To what extent do science and nature, architecture, design and history weave in and out of contemporary artmaking? How do artists bring together disparate elements into a singular work, or a cluster of related images or objects?

The exhibition will run from June 21 through November 9 in the Dorsky Museum’s Alice and Horace Chandler Gallery and North Gallery. This is the

sixth year that the Hudson Valley Artists Annual Purchase Award of $3,000 will be used to acquire one or more artworks from the exhibition for the museum’s permanent collection.

The exhibition is open to all emerging and mid-career artists with a permanent mailing address and active art practice in Columbia, Dutchess, Greene, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Sullivan, Ulster and Westchester Counties who have not had a major one-person museum exhibition and who do not have an exclusive contract with a commercial gallery. Artworks created in traditional and nontraditional media as well as audio, video, film, performance and other media are welcome. Students are not eligible. There is no application fee. Artists’ submissions must be made online only through www.dorskymuseum. submittable.com/submit.

For more information about the Dorsky Museum and its programs, visit www. newpaltz.edu/museum or call (845) 2573844.

HISTORY

ALMANAC ALMANACWEEKLY WEEKLY

1782

In 1782, George Washington told a group gathered on the outskirts of Kingston, burned by the British in 1777, that “The heavy calamity which befell this flourishing settlement seems but to have added to the patriotic spirit of its inhabitants, and a new town is fast rising out of the ashes of the old.”

Colonial conviviality Kingston’s Old Dutch Church hosts George Washington Dinner this Saturday to honor city historian Edwin Ford

I

n November of 1782, general George Washington was residing at his headquarters in Newburgh when he decided to make a visit to Kingston. Accompanied by other officers, Washington journeyed through the Rondout Valley, stopping along the way in Stone Ridge before reaching his destination.

Those witnessing his passage through the region left records that show that Washington appeared to be visibly touched by the enthusiastic show of support from those he encountered along the way. Many people thanked him effusively for his service, inspiring Washington to address them in kind. He told a group gathered on the outskirts of Kingston, burned by the British in 1777, that “The heavy calamity which befell this flourishing settlement seems but to have added to the patriotic spirit of its inhabitants, and a new town is fast rising out of the ashes of the old.”

Further lauded at Kingston’s Dutch Reformed Church, whose congregation had aligned itself with the patriot cause, Washington later wrote to the consistory there to thank them for their “public mark of esteem.” That original thankyou note is preserved today at Kingston’s Old Dutch Church, and since 1923, it has commemorated the general’s momentous visit there with an annual dinner in his honor.

This year’s annual George Washington Dinner and Dance will be the 91st such affair. It will be held on the 282nd

All proceeds from the George Washington Dinner will go toward the replacement of Peace with the Indians and Presentation of the Wampum Belt, 1665, one of the last lunettes yet to be restored out of the original 23.

The lunettes were first placed in the Common Council chamber of City Hall during its first restoration in 1929, after a fire in 1927 almost destroyed the 1875 structure. But when a deteriorating City Hall was abandoned in 1972 in favor of modern offices in downtown Rondout, the original building was left to the mercy of the elements. Ford discovered the lunettes in a state of ruin from rainwater leaking through the roof. “To see that water pouring in and running down the walls was terrible,” he remembers today.

Ford arranged for the plaster reliefs to be removed from the building and stored safely in the basement of the Old Dutch Church: a project that he says was undertaken with assistance from Bob Slater (who, like Ford, had an association with the Heritage Museum in the Old Dutch Church). “We got the idea, the two of us, that we could get some money together and get a contractor to take down the remaining ones that we could save,” says Ford. “We were able to save ten; they were used as molds for the new ones that were installed in 2000.”

The original plaster molds for three lunettes could not be found; but Peace with the Indians and Presentation of the Wampum Belt, 1665, a depiction of peace between the Dutch settlers and the Esopus Indians in 1660, has been recreated from a photograph. The finishing touches are currently being added to it, says Ford.

Upon installation in City Hall, the lunette will be dedicated to Ed Ford – hopefully in time to celebrate his 96th birthday in April. “It’s a wonderful honor,” he says. “I’m surprised and pleased.”

Ford’s brother, William Ford, 90, generously put up a third of the $15,000 necessary to complete the lunette. Edwin says that his brother told him, “Well, I’ve given you enough sweaters and shirts for your birthday; it’s time I did something better.”

Another third of the funding for the lunette was raised last month in an online “crowdfunding” effort, now ended. All proceeds from the George Washington Dinner on Saturday will directly benefit the project.

After the recreated lunette is installed in its place at City Hall, there will still be two lunettes missing from the series. The fate of Fur Trading with Indians at Rondout and Chief Justice John Jay Drawing the Draft of the First Constitution of the State of New York, 1777 is undetermined. No plans are in motion to recreate them at this time, says Ford. “But there are photos existing of the remaining ones, so they can be done whenever the funding is available.”

FDR Library in Hyde Park to screen Breath of Freedom In commemoration of Black History Month, the Pare Lorentz Center at the FDR Presidential Library and the Catharine Street Community Center of Poughkeepsie will host a film screening of the Smithsonian Network’s Breath of Freedom (2014) on Wednesday, February 26 at 7 p.m. in the Henry A. Wallace Center at the FDR Presidential Library and Home at 4079 Albany Post Road in Hyde Park.

The documentary is about the African American GIs who helped rebuild Germany at the end of World War II. After experiencing equality for the first time overseas, these soldiers helped spark the Civil Rights movement in America.

Narrated by Cuba Gooding, Jr., the film features interviews with general Colin Powell and congressman John Lewis, as well as with Walter Patrice and Joe McPhee of Poughkeepsie.

In 2002, Maria Höhn, professor of History at Vassar College, published GIs and Fräuleins: The German-American Encounter in 1950s West Germany (UNC Press), exploring the experiences between German women and US soldiers stationed in Germany post-World War II. The book included just one chapter about how black soldiers fit into that unique time and place, but it inspired the new documentary A Breath of Freedom which

premiered on the Smithsonian Channel last week.

The FDR Presidential Library event is free and open to the public. For more information, call (845) 486-7745. For information about the FDR Library or its programs, call (800) 337-8474 or visit www.fdrlibrary.marist.edu.

For the past several months, Library District staff members and local volunteers have scanned hundreds of historic photographs, organizing them into categories ranging from sports and entertainment to police, soldiers and firefighters. The scanning continues with new images added every week. The focus of February’s exhibit is on local business; a new collection will be mounted in March featuring trolleys, trains, planes, boats, automobiles, horsedrawn carriages, bicycles, firetrucks and more.

How could I resist a catalogue ad for a dwarf banana tree – one that wouldn’t grow more than six to eight feet high, so could be accommodated within the confines of a standard room? I bought the small pup (which is what small, plantable offshoots from the mother tree are called) and planted it in a large pot.

The pup grew. And grew. And grew.

The plant topped out at six to eight feet, but the developing leaves, rolled up and pointing skyward before unrolling and flopping down, reached a lot higher.

Banana isn’t really a tree; it’s a giant herb whose “trunk” is, in fact, made up of concentric layers of rolled-up leaves that don’t flop down to a more horizontal

position until they unroll.

“A mature tree only gets six to eight feet tall, but provides up to 90 bananas per year!” states a contemporary Web ad for Cavendish Dwarf Banana. As for the 90 bananas: Yes, I had no bananas.

Bananas are tropical plants, thriving best in full sunlight with average annual temperatures around 80 degrees. A sunny room in winter is no home for a banana.

The room was cool, not tropical and, though bright, its light paled against a sunny day in the tropics.

Besides delaying or voiding any possibility of fruiting, indoor conditions left my plant looking forlorn, even if it did perk up each summer outdoors. Upon my return from a winter trip to the tropics, where I had seen banana plants reveling in sun, heat and humidity, I took pity

art gallery and art school, and the fervent admiration of generations of devoted art students. To his personal credit, he leaves a lasting legacy of art, beauty and a sustaining example, having led a life of purpose with unwavering determination and accomplishment.

Born on April 8, 1922 in Richmond Hill, New York, Angeloch served in the US Air Corps and Army during World War II where he was a pilot,

studied to be an engineer and ended up in medical school. He studied at The Art Students League of New York from 1946-1951, where he first began painting with Yasuo Kuniyoshi and printmaking with Martin Lewis. He spent the summer of 1947 learning the craft of making woodcuts with Fiske Boyd and it was that summer that Angeloch first studied nature working out of doors.

he Phoenicia Library was gutted by fire in the early morning hours of Saturday, March 19.

Within three days, plans were already in place to open a temporary library on Saturday, March 26, in the building recently vacated by Maverick Family Health, across from the Phoenicia post office.

“It’ll be a bare-bones operation,” cautioned library director Tracy Priest. “We’re restoring minimal services, but we want to open our doors. People can return library books and pick up books they’ve ordered from interlibrary loan. From the Mid-Hudson Library System, we’re borrowing a computer and components we need to check books in and out. We’ll open at 10 a.m., and Letter Friends, the early literacy program, will happen at its normal time, 11 a.m. We’re looking eventually to have a small lending library, which may be on the honor system, since all our bar codes were destroyed in the fire.”

Writing classes and other programs scheduled for later in the spring will be held as planned. It looks like at least a couple of computers will be donated for use by patrons.

The blaze was reported to have come from an electri-

cal fire, which started in the back of the building. “We don’t have a full report on the extent of the damage,” said Priest, who visited the building after the fire with the insurance adjuster and Town of Shandaken supervisor Rob Stanley.

“The adjuster said there has to be a second claims adjustment because it’s considered a major loss. We don’t think any books or materials will be salvageable. But because of the location of the fishing collection, we may be able to clean some of that and save it.”

The Jerry Bartlett Memorial Angling Collection includes more than 500 fishing and nature books, plus an exhibit of fishing rods, lures, fly tying gear, and photographs.

“The books are a mess,” said Priest.

“Everything is fused together and melted.

What’s in the front of the building has been damaged by smoke and water, but everything there is like we left it. Then you cross a line towards the back, and everything is black. There’s a hole of the ceiling of the children’s room, and you can look right up into my office upstairs.

Onteora board hears of cuts, tax rates, layoffs

he latest Onteora Central School District 2011-2012 budget proposal does not include massive layoffs as might be seen in other districts, but does feature the elimination of six teacher positions and reductions to part-time of another five, among job cuts in many sectors. The cuts are seen as a reaction to declining enrollment, but also contribute to a total plan that increases spending by only 0.87 percent, that would translate, based on revenue figures, to a 3.9 percent levy increase.

At the Tuesday, March 22 board of education meeting at Woodstock Elementary, school officials presented The Superintendent’s Recommended Budget to trustees that includes an increase in spending to a total of $50,477,497. If the board adopts the budget at its April 5 session, voters will be asked to vote on the budget on May 17. If voters reject the budget proposal, a contingency (or austerity) budget could be put in place that would eliminate $121,785 from the equipment budget line, as mandated by the

Mama, with sweetness and capability, sees her children through childhood, managing to educate them and to see one of her daughters begin a career as a writer.

Mama’s sisters and uncle furnish a rich

background for a great deal of comedy and a little incidental tragedy. Tickets are $15 for general admission, $8 for students on opening night only, $12 for seniors/students and advanced sales and $10 for members/groups.

In the Town of Lloyd, the only local referendum on the ballot is for voters to decide whether or not the town clerk, town highway superintendent and town supervisor should have their two-year terms extended to four years. These are all separate referenda, as suggested by Lloyd supervisor Paul Hansut, who said that he wants to give “voters a chance to weigh in on each and every position, and not lump them all together, as many towns have done in the past.”

The idea behind the four-year term, according to Hansut, is to give those elected to office “enough time to get familiar with the nuts and bolts of the job, Continued on page 12

hen Jenny Lee Fowler moved from Oregon in 1997, she decided to mark each snowfall that first winter in the East by cutting a snowflake out of paper. Being a person who makes things by hand, it seemed like a fun thing to do. Then, like the icy flakes that drift lazily on the wind before becoming a full-fledged storm, the act of cutting paper snowflakes took on a momentum of its own as Fowler became fascinated with the folk tradition of papercutting.

One day, her father-in-law asked her if she’d ever done a portrait, like the silhouettes created by folk artists. Her interest piqued, Fowler dared herself to cut 100 portraits of people.

Beginning with friends and family, she later moved on to cutting portraits of strangers, who would sit for her at the campus center at Bard, where Fowler worked.

“I practiced a lot and found that I totally loved it,” says Fowler. “It kind of surprised me because I’d thought of silhouette portraits as these kind of ‘stuffy’ things, and then I realized that they were really cross-sections of people at a moment in time. I started to see them as more dynamic.”

Fowler came across a passage in which one of the early papercutters called silhouette portraits “a moment’s monument,” a description that she finds particularly apt. “They really do capture a little moment, and even the same person can have a different portrait the next day,” Fowler explains.

Artful papercutting is now Fowler’s niche, and the Continued on page 13

Last spring, my friend Sara (of last week’s grafted tomato fame) stopped by with a gift: a banana plant – evidently another Dwarf Cavendish Banana, judging from the decorative reddish splotches on the leaves. How could I refuse such a plant, recently removed from a greenhouse in all its lushness?

In the decades since my old banana’s passing, banana plants have become more popular as ornamentals. The plants grow rapidly, so a non-dwarf variety, once summer heat kicks in, will soar quickly to ten feet or more to create the focal point of a tropical oasis. You’d need a big pot to fuel such growth. Or you could plant Mekong Giant Banana (Musa itinerans var. xishuangbannaensis) or Golden Lotus Flower (Musella lasiocarpa), both closely related to the edible banana but – and here’s a big difference – very winter cold-hardy (for bananas). Either plant (available from www.onegreenworld.com and www.raintree.com) could remain outdoors, with mulch, through winters with temperatures well below zero degrees. The tops die back, but the roots survive to resprout each year. Who wants to see a tropical oasis in the snow anyhow?

Dwarf Cavendish is not a hardy banana and does not reach proportions to create anything more than a mini-oasis. Still, my new one is weathering winter well.

My original plan was to bring the potted plant down to remain semi-comatose in the cold basement. But it started out in autumn near a sunny window in a cool room and never made it down the steps.

It looks forlorn, but ready to perk up after conditions change – and small, because it’s cramped into an undersized pot. I haven’t watered it for months! I don’t want it to grow – yet.

Come spring, Dwarf Cavendish will get repotted, pups removed and potted, and given good growing conditions. One pup will get planted outdoors to get as big as it can before cold weather, then dug up and put in the basement. Even if “Yes, we have no bananas,” there will be leaves aplenty for cooking, wrapping, serving food and general tropical lushness.

NIGHT SKY

Stormy weather – on the Sun Conditions are prime right now to catch the Aurora Borealis

I

’m actually in Alaska right now, running an Aurora Borealis tour for the Old Farmer’s Almanac. We have 86 guests, mostly from here in the Northeast, seeking the famed Northern Lights. I’ve been doing this each February or March since the 1990s.

But why, you might ask, should anyone in their right mind go to the far north in winter? The answer is that right now our planet is pretty much sideways to the Sun, which increases the chance of getting an aurora, and days and nights are becoming equalish. Moreover, it’s now the dark of the Moon – and moonlight has always been the greatest enemy of the fabled Lights.

(Some folks take cruises or such to Alaska in summer, and then mention that they never saw an aurora. We point out that up there, the summer sky never gets fully dark, so.... duh!) But if you’ve lived in our region for a long time, you’ve seen them beautifully from right here. Sadly, it has been a while. We had fabulous displays in 2001 and 2000 and 1999. That was during the last “solar max” – which was followed by the deepest absence of solar storms that anyone alive has ever witnessed, which made auroras really rare this past decade.

One Solar Max earlier, on March 13, 1989, we had a wildly animated aurora that exploded over the Catskills and mid-Hudson Valley all night long. It filled the entire heavens, and fortunately unfolded on a clear night during the dark of the Moon.

Unlike in Scandinavia and central Alaska, where auroral curtains are often directly overhead, we normally see them in the northwest around here. They may start as a simple glow in that direction, so any time you see such a thing – well, either your neighbors have thrown a party and haven’t invited you, or it’s the first stage of an auroral display.

Keep watching. The glow may simply fade out disappointingly. Or it can start becoming animated with blotches, streaks, straight lines radiating from the horizon, arches and various other abstract art fragments. As for color, it’s usually pale green or gray, but once in a long while we get a blood-red aurora, which is what happened for us in 2000.

The action starts with a giant solar storm. The culprit may be a strong X-class flare, or better yet a coronal mass ejection. Even when our solar satellites and other Sunwatching equipment detect such an outburst of high-speed solar ions, it will be at least two days before the swarm gets near enough to Earth so we can sample the material and know whether its magnetic polarity has the correct orientation to transfer its energy to Earth’s magnetosphere, to excite oxygen atoms high in our atmosphere. This is why many predicted aurorae fail to materialize: The solar detritus simply has the wrong

Acquire the habit of glancing toward the north on any clear night

Not that New York bananas are an impossibility without an old-fashioned, energy-guzzling hothouse. Given an early start in my barely heated greenhouse, a short-season banana might actually ripen its fruit this far north. A guy in Georgia has found that the variety Veinte Cohol (www.logees. com) will ripen its fruit in October if it’s two to three feet tall going into summer. My greenhouse is something like Georgia, without the drawl.

All this talk of bananas is admittedly odd, with morning temperatures here hovering below zero degrees.

This winter has been interesting: seemingly cold, but only in comparison with the relatively warm winters of the past decade or so.

The low here, so far, has been minus-14 degrees. The effect is already evident on my bamboo, Phyllostachys aureosulcata, whose leaves, though still attached, are dry and muted green. They were supposed to remain alive, looking shiny and lush green, down to minus-20 degrees. But the cold came on quickly this season, before plants had a chance to acclimate, and there were extended periods of it. Rainfall, snowfall and humidity also have direct and indirect effects on how well plants face cold. For plants, “It’s not how cold it gets, it’s how it gets cold.”

The Hudson Valley Iris and Daylily Society welcomes master gardener and daylily expert Frank Almquist to lecture on the program “Flower,” which organizes/catalogues our plants

polarity. Then, too, we need a clear night, and preferably a moonless one.

Although the current Solar Max began nearly a year ago, it has been very wimpy until very recently. The Sun started exhibiting increased storm activity this past month, so it’s a good time to get primed and psyched for possible local aurorae. Your best bet is simply to acquire the habit of glancing toward the north on any clear night, even if just when you’re walking from your car to the house. If you see an aurora, phone your friends – maybe even set up an aurora alert, a “Northern Lights hotline” like we had in Woodstock in the 1970s and early ‘80s. Such a telephone tree can alert everyone in your community who wants to see one. (I discontinued ours after several cranky spouses or “significant ogres” yelled at me when I phoned at 1 a.m.; apparently many of the folks who signed on to the hotline didn’t tell the people with whom they lived that they might get calls in the wee hours.)

I hope that next year you’ll perhaps join me in Alaska. But if not, sooner or later we will all get another good one from right here.

Cary Institute to screen documentary on songbird poaching The Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies in Millbrook will offer a free screening of the documentary film Emptying the Skies on Friday, February 21 at 7 p.m. The film is about the widespread poaching of migratory songbirds in the Mediterranean and the heroism of a team of Italian bird-lovers trying to put an end to the practice. Seating is first-come, firstserved. The doors open at 6:30 p.m.

A question-and-answer session with director Roger Kass will follow the 78-minute film.

The footage, shot in Cyprus, Germany, France, Italy and Spain, sheds muchneeded light on the widespread illegal trapping of songbirds. In parts of Southern Europe, songbirds are a culinary delicacy, commanding top dollar on the black market. Learn about the millions of protected songbirds that wind up on dinner plates, why the harvest is unsustainable and how citizens can help turn the tide.

The film is based on a New Yorker essay by writer Jonathan Franzen. Using discreet cameras, filmmakers traveled to poaching hotspots with international activists.

The event will take place in the Cary Institute auditorium, located at 2801 Sharon Turnpike (Route 44) in Millbrook.

SOMETIMES WE’RE ASKED

Why newspapers?

Print is dead, right? Wrong. Studies show readers retain more of what they read in print because it’s easier to focus. Fewer distractions. The web is great for breaking news bytes, but our in-depth stories are best consumed in print. We only write local stories, so every issue is bound to contain something you didn’t know about your community. You lose that sense of discovery on the web, where you’re less likely to happen on something you weren’t looking for. And while our website is too primitive for such things, many sites collect browsing data for advertising. Our ads would never be so presumptious. We print on recycled paper when possible, so it’s sustainable—and accessible to those without the Internet or iPads; not to be overlooked in a Democracy.

Applicants will be required to meet income and additional selection criteria. Applications may be requested from Cornell Pace, Inc., P.O. Box 949, Yonkers, NY 10704. Requests for applications should include a self-addressed, legal size envelope. Completed applications must be returned, by regular first class mail only, to a different post office box number that will be listed with the application.

At the time of the selection, if there are no apartments available, the applicant will be informed of the placement of their application on a waiting list for future consideration.

Rip Van Winkle Apartments and its management are equal opportunity housing providers and do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status or disability.

Meet Julie..... If you want a lap cat, I’m your girl. I’m a lovely BLACK AND WHITE “TUXEDO” CAT who is between 1- & 2-years old. I was living outside in this really cold winter until a very nice lady rescued me. I’m spayed, litter box trained, have had my shots, & ready for my forever home. I’m quiet, gentle, clean, & very friendly. I even let my foster mom trim my toe nails; I’m very trusting. I would be a wonderful companion for someone who is alone, or even in a home w/children. For more information call 845-679-7922.
