Virtuoso ineptitude Horowitz & Malkine return to Rosendale CafĂŠ this Saturday

D

ue to the clamor of the rabble and the decision of a hung jury, Mikhail Horowitz and Gilles Malkine will return to Rosendale CafÊ on Saturday, April 19 for another round of lyrically anorexic, metaphysically unfit and intellectually suspect songs and skits, beginning at 8 p.m. They’ll be joined by the same crew that lowered the Cafe’s property values last December: Charlie Kniceley on bass and Evan Shultis on fiddle.

Admission costs $10. Come a few days before the show to claim your table, because the CafÊ does not take reservations. For more information, contact the duo’s attorney, manager and booking agent, all three of whom are currently honor students at the Eastern Correctional Facility.

Mikhail Horowitz and Gilles Malkine

traveling through Asia, Europe and Latin America and eventually moving to Esopus, where he converted an old church into his studio. Hite attended Virginia Commonwealth University and the Corcoran School of Art in Washington, DC. He studied ink-brush painting in Malaysia and worked with Washington Color School painter Leon Berkowitz.

Though Hite’s art deals in abstraction,

his images of structures, dwellings and living spaces have become central to his pieces. Hite’s works have been shown throughout the country and abroad. His

most recent solo show in our area was at Wired Gallery in High Falls. For more information on Hite’s work, go to www. roberthite.com.

Obama was being sworn in a second time. It’s a lovely piece of work, lyrical and accessible and suitably inspiring, walking the hearer through a day in America while invoking some basic things that we all have in common: sunlight and moonlight, soil and air, sights and sounds, people to cherish and work to be done.

Born in 1968, Blanco was the youngest person ever chosen to recite poetry at a presidential inaugural. The son of Cuban exiles, he was also the first Latino – and the first openly gay person. So after all these firsts, what comes next? Greater familiarity to the American reading public, one would hope. This Tuesday, April 22, you have a chance to know his work a little better, as SUNY-Ulster hosts a free public reading by Richard Blanco

dd as it may seem, only three US presidents have ever had eminent American poets read poems at their inaugurals. JFK started the practice in 1961 with Robert Frost; Bill Clinton and Barack Obama did it twice each. What’s up with that? Don’t Republicans like poetry? It’s a mystery for sure.

In a just world, being picked to perform one’s poem at a presidential inaugural ought to be an honor as highly coveted as an Oscar or a Heisman Trophy or a MacArthur Fellowship – a peak moment in a literary lion’s career.

Unfortunately, Richard Blanco isn’t nearly as renowned as he ought to be. In case you missed it, he’s the guy who read his poem “One Today” when President

The divine right of Time Lords Rosendale Theatre to screen Shakespeare’s Richard II starring Doctor Who’s David Tennant

H

ere in America, if called upon to ponder the phenomenon of the science fiction fan subculture, with its wacky conventions jam-packed with “cosplaying� True Believers, most of us would probably think first of Star Trek and Star Wars. But as anyone could tell you who has a member or two within his or her circle of family and friends, there’s no fandom quite so rabid as the Doctor Who fandom.

An institution in the UK since 1963, it took a while for the time-traveling Doctor to get under the skin of the North American viewing public. A few episodes of the BBC show began to appear on US television circa 1972, but only in limited markets.

They were often shown out of sequence, or bizarrely edited into “omnibus� viewing marathons in a misguided effort to bring audiences unfamiliar with the basic premise up to speed.

So it isn’t all that surprising that, until the show was revived in Britain in 2005 after a 15-year hiatus, coinciding with the rise of cable and the decline of network TV in the US, Doctor Who fandom was just sort of a cult thing on these shores. Boy, has that changed! Nowadays it seems like half the people one meets are ardent Whovians, whether closeted or out. And the show’s trademark gadgets, characters and catchphrases have become widely recognized cultural memes even in America.

A phone box is never just a phone box anymore (and I’m not talking about it being Superman’s on-the-road dressing room).

One member of the generation who grew up on Doctor Who in the UK was a Scottish boy named David McDonald who, according to his parents, informed them at the age of three that he was going to become an actor just so he could embody the Time Lord someday. He went on to play his first role with the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) in 1996, and borrowed a new last name from a member of the Pet Shop Boys when he discovered that there was already another member with his name in Actors’ Equity. But for all the classical theatre training that he was getting, David Tennant never stopped being a devout Whovian, grabbing whatever roles he could in Doctor Who spinoff productions for radio.

Then, in 2005, he became an internationally recognized star – first for his role as the villain Barty Crouch, Jr. in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire; then his lifetime

Brecht in the Martel Theater in the Vogelstein Center for Drama and Film on April 17, 18 and 19. Tickets are free, but reservations are required; contact boxoffice@vassar.edu.

Written in three weeks in 1941 while in exile, Brecht’s The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui is a sharp take on the rise of Hitler shot through with wit. Brecht recasts Hitler’s rise as a Chicago gangster’s takeover of the city’s greengrocery trade.

Set in 1930s Chicago, this gangster spectacle was not produced until 1958, and not until 1961 in English. Brecht never envisioned a version of the play in Germany, intending it for the American stage.

Vassar guest director Ianthe Demos is

artistic director of One Year Lease (OYL), a New York City-based ensemble company dedicated to creating new work, training young theater artists and advancing international collaboration in theater.

She co-founded the company in 2001 with fellow Vassar alumnae Ariane Barbanell and Jacqueline Kristel.

Among its many efforts, OYL runs an annual theater apprentice program in northern Greece, and its ensemble members have worked with numerous

dream was realized as he was selected to succeed Christopher Eccleston as the Tenth Doctor. His tenure as the Time Lord lasted five years and was immensely popular, with Doctor Who Magazine readers voting Tennant the “Best Doctor� ever. He even married one of his co-stars.

So whatever happened to that serious acting career, that Shakespeare stuff? Well, Tennant rejoined the RSC and has remained actively involved with the troupe since 2008; he even became a member of its Board of Directors in 2012. His latest role was Richard II, the beleaguered York monarch whose overthrow by his upstart Lancaster cousin Henry Bolingbroke sets off what are now remembered as the Wars of the Roses.

A performance of this recent RSC production of Richard II, directed by Gregory Doran and originally broadcast live on the BBC on November 13, 2013, is the first in a new series called Live from Stratford-upon-Avon that will receive encore screenings in selected cinemas across the US. The Rosendale Theatre will serve as one of these hosts, showing William Shakespeare’s Richard II starring David Tennant at 2 p.m. on Sunday, April 27 and again at 7:15 p.m. on Tuesday, April 29. Tickets cost $12 general admission, $10 for members.

Who will show up: Shakespeareans, Whovians? Some of both, most likely. Sounds like an interestingly mixed crowd – but then, that’s what one can always expect at the Rosendale.

hen I was a teenager, my father passed along to me a “Question Authority” button that a student had given him. Immediately, I affixed it to my Army surplus satchel, which I had named “Walden Bag,” after Thoreau. It stayed there until I finally bailed on the whole ironicappropriation-ofArmy-goods thing.

In truth, I seldom carried enough books and effects to require a bag of any kind. I had never read Thoreau, either, and had learned my two cents about Walden from Doonesbury.

All my authorities were fraudulent, and would have collapsed under the gentlest questioning.

My Dad – a jazz pianist with the Swinging Professors and a political moderate with a barely detectable leftward lean in his thinking – taught Math and Science Education at SUNYNew Paltz throughout the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s, making students into teachers.

Some of his peers were outraged by the hippies. Others swung hard. His attitude toward the activism and the hedonism of the counterculture was benign, but not exactly collegial. “I’ll just wave from the other side of the generation gap,” as my friend Reed’s uncle Bill said. My father

was authority, and thus not much in the habit of questioning it; but he thought that I might like the button and find its broad sentiment useful while I fished around for someone to be.

Still fishing today, Dad, and “Question Authority” seems to me – now as then – to be sturdy, open-ended and wise advice if applied without selective bias.

It’s an evergreen and culturally neutral directive that assumes no conclusions and dictates no action other than critical i n q u i r y.

Our questioning might well come out in the favor of authority (not likely, though, because authorities are like sausages…).

In the late ’80s, as a fledgling academic myself, I began to see the buzzword-laden slogan “Subvert the Dominant Paradigm” on bumper stickers and buttons. I was struck by the change in the tone of revolutionary injunction. The inclusive term “authority” had given way to the implied violence (and secret pleasures) of domination. “Paradigm,” a word virtually unknown to English-speakers before Thomas Kuhn’s 1962 essay on paradigm shifts and the structure of scientific revolutions, had trickled down into hipster rhetoric everywhere, to be used interchangeably with “system” or

Questionable Authorities

whenever you needed to score points.

And where “question” is a soft command, a Socratic nudge, “subvert” is blunt and certain, an agenda. Tear sh*t down. Do not ask why: just for kicks, a revolutionary joyride, like rock ’n’ roll.

Academics today were raised very much in this spirit of questioning all authorities, including their own. Their paradigms are pre-deconstructed, self-subverting. And this irony is cheekily expressed in the name of SUNY-New Paltz’s long-running, all-faculty rock band: Questionable Authorities.

The authorities in question are Peter “Sticks” Kaufman (Sociology) on drums; Glenn “the Caveman” Geher (Psychology) on lead guitar; Maureen “Mo’ Betta” Morrow (Biology) on bass and vocals; Annee “Roach” Rochelle (Sociology) on percussion and flute; and Brian “the Reverend” Obach (Sociology) on rhythm guitar and vocals. I have heard this band several times, and these cats can rock, make no mistake. In the playing of some of them, you can hear traces of a time when music was central, before the gantlet of tenure, publish-or-perish, increased teaching loads and class sizes and committee work.

Their repertoire – 100 percent covers – emphasizes the cathartic, first-generation punk of the Ramones and the Clash, but also nods to classic rock. When they play out, they draw well in the bars, in part because of the novelty of professorial punk and in part because people love that music; and these guys throw their hearts into it without reservation. While there might be a touch of pedagogical

intent in their music – hipping the kids to the revolutionary foment of the late ’70s, expanding the academic purview and all that – mostly, the Questionable Authorities rock out because (like their students, like us all) sometimes they just need to tear sh*t down.

Questionable Authorities, joined by additional faculty and even some administrators, perform in Bacchus in New Paltz on Friday, April 18 at 5 p.m. happy hour. Voluntary donations are to benefit the SUNY-New Paltz Emergency Student Scholarship Fund, which helps students when they or their families experience sudden financial hardship.

Connor Kennedy to perform Radiohead’s The Bends at Bearsville this Saturday Radiohead fans love to argue over which of the band’s three consecutive classic albums is the classic among the classics: Is it the genre-defining, millennial electro/experimental effort Kid A (2000)? The proggy masterwork that is OK Computer? Or could it possibility be their exceptional, guitarcentric second album The Bends, from which come at least two of the bands best-known and most-loved songs, “High and Dry” and “Fake Plastic Trees”?

After much consideration, I vote for The Bends. Even though it precedes Radiohead’s association with soulmate producer Nigel Godrich, who climbed aboard on OK Computer and hasn’t left since, The Bends captures a band perched breathtakingly between ethereal-butgrungy guitar rock and…something different and new. Under the spell of Jeff Buckley’s Grace and a couple of cult classic albums by Talk Talk, Thom York wrote what are in my opinion the sharpest and most memorable melodies that he would ever write, and, for sheer range and intensity of guitar sounds, it is a difficult album to rival.

The Bends serves as the subject for the latest Cover-to-Cover, Connor Kennedy’s

Some would argue, “Nothing, and would you please stop splitting genre hairs?” But I think that the distinction can be appreciated onomatopoeically, in the difference between the two words: Psychedelic is mellifluous, sunny and occasionally inclined toward the silly. Psyche, on other hand is darker, heavier, occult, droning and not at all mellifluous or sunny, often sounding like a species of high-reverb metal but without metal’s tendency toward the mechanical.

The Hudson Valley Psyche Fest, now in its second year, was modeled after the more famous Austin Psyche Fest by its organizers, perhaps the premier “dark psyche” band of the Hudson Valley: New Paltz’s It’s Not Night: It’s Space (INNIS), the instrumental trio of guitarist Kevin Halcott, drummer Michael Lutomski and bassist Tommy Guerrero. The Psyche Fest seizes control at BSP in Kingston on Friday, April 18 at 8 p.m.

This year, Lutomski asserts, the Hudson Valley Psyche Fest sports a lineup that approaches the quality of its Texas model.

INNIS will be joined on the bill by New York City’s White Hills, purveyors of a kinetic “fuzzed-out motorik spacerock” and veterans of the Austin fest; by Brooklyn’s the Golden Grass, who fuse psyche values with some good old guitar solo-laden boogie; by Eidetic Seeing, another Brooklyn concern whose recent album Against Nature (J. K. Huysmans fans?) punishes as it pleases; and by Queen Elephantine, a large multinational concern whose self-descriptive language – “meditative blues of whirlwind ghost ships forced down hopeless maelstroms of the Nile. Modal psychedelic doom.” – simply can’t be beat.

Tickets for the Psyche Fest are available locally at Outdated in Kingston, Jack’s Rhythms in New Paltz, Darkside Records & Gallery in Poughkeepsie and the Woodstock Music Shop.

lightness in the form of a long, historic bar.

It’s a great place to enjoy music, especially now that musician and sound engineer Peter Caigan has bettered the sound inside for use as a daytime recording studio and begun booking bands and solo acts for weekend nights.

He has also started using the unique gallery attributes of the large, trapezoidal building – once one of the region’s tallest.

Using a sunny entrance lobby and the sprawl of balconies and wall space inside, Caigan’s booking solo art exhibits this time around, instead of haphazard group shows. And to inaugurate the Colony’s classic new feel, he has handed the place over to Woodstock artist Nicole Roskos:

a portrait and landscape painter with an easily recognizable style who was a regular in the place during years gone by.

In addition to having painted musicians playing in the very space in which she’s now showing, Roskos – who also works as an environmental writer – specializes in depictions of local forests and the heavy, timely presence of trees. From the feeling in her accentuated brushwork to the way she utilizes form and movement, light and shadow and her own inner emotions to bring her art to life, there’s something in this painter’s sense of style that mirrors Woodstock classics stretching back a century to Bellows, Lindin and Rosen. It’s about a great match-up to bring a historic space to new, community-centering life.

Key players Musician/author Carolyn Wilkins pays tribute to her musical mentors at Vassar Alumnae House on Monday

I

t’s good to have role models. And it’s good to pay tribute to them, once you’ve reached a level of mastery that reflects well on their contributions to you. In her memoir They Raised Me Up, Carolyn Wilkins does just that. With dignified prose, she honors the women in her family’s history, women who came before and who surmounted their own challenging life conditions to realize their own dreams.

A successful jazz musician and scholar, Wilkins is a professor at Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts. She has toured South America as jazz ambassador for the US State Department, performed on radio and television with her group SpiritJazz and worked as a percussionist for the Pittsburgh and Singapore Symphonies. She has recorded several critically acclaimed CDs of original compositions and is the author of Tips for Singers: Performing, Auditioning and Rehearsing and Damn Near White: An African American Family’s Rise from Slavery to Bittersweet Success. Wilkins will read from her new Lilly and Alberta, Kansas, 1908, in They Raised Me Up by Carolyn Wilkins book at the Vassar Alumnae House at 161 College Avenue in Poughkeepsie on Monday, April 21 at 5 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.

Wilkins left an unhappy marriage in Tacoma in the 1980s and moved with her preschool-aged daughter to a working-class town outside of Boston, where she hoped to make her way in the music business as a jazz pianist. Surviving in a man’s world while raising a child on her own pushed her right up against the inequities that African American women face in every field. She had already been rejected from a pursuit in classical music, because black females were not welcome in that realm at the time. In the jazz world of clubs and bars, she encountered sexual predation – enough to make her wonder if her choice had been a wise one. But there were bills to pay and babysitters to retain. So, in spite of almost-crippling stage fright, she forced herself to sit down with jazzmen and play.

Wilkins credits her ancestors and mentors with her success. As her role models, Wilkins counts five musically gifted women who struggled to achieve their passions at the turn of the 20th century: Philippa Schuyler, whose efforts to pass for white inspired Carolyn to embrace her own black identity despite her “damn near white” appearance; Marjory Jackson, the musician and single mother whose dark complexion and flamboyant lifestyle raised eyebrows among her contemporaries in the snobby, color-conscious world of the African American elite; Lilly Pruett, the daughter of an illiterate sharecropper whose stunning beauty might have been her only ticket out of the South; Ruth Lipscomb, the country girl who dreamed of becoming a concert pianist and realized her improbable ambition in 1941; and Wilkins’ grandmother, Alberta Sweeney, who survived personal tragedy by relying on the musical talent and spiritual stamina that she had acquired growing up in a Kansas mining town.

Her story interweaves memories of those first difficult years in Boston with tales of these five women. She references some of the historical situations in which they found themselves, like her grandmother and great-grandmother’s arrival in the Wild West town of Weir, Kansas, where Negroes were being enticed away from Birmingham and all over the South to work the coal mines.

Some of Wilkins’ mentors quietly persevered against the odds. Others were more outspoken, like a great-aunt who worked to register black voters in the 1940s and put African American candidates in office. Some credit her efforts, along with a strong caucus of churchgoing women, for putting Harry Truman in the White House in 1948.

Reflecting the persistent strength of the women themselves, and more famous icons of civil rights too, Wilkins’ memoir presents slices of African American and women’s history with dignity and integrity. They Raised Me Up is an entertaining, informative and engrossing read.

Hudson Valley Community Center is not just for seniors

I

f the true worth of a building is based on what goes on within its walls, then the Hudson Valley Community Center (HVCC) in Poughkeepsie is a pretty valuable place.

“It’s an amazing facility,” says Alan Goldsmith, director of senior programming at HVCC. “I don’t think there’s anything else like it in the Poughkeepsie area, in terms of a building that has so much available to the community to use: a pool, a gymnasium, a fitness center, spaces to hold events... and I think our prices are reasonable.”

Goldsmith coordinates the Center’s programs for seniors, and as he points out, issues related to aging aren’t the sum total of one’s interests when one gets to a certain age. “Seniors have cultural and intellectual interests like people of any age, and it would get very tiresome if we only had programming related to Medicare and health insurance.” The senior programs at HVCC were developed with that age group in mind, he says, but the content is interesting to adults of all ages; the drawback for adults working full-time is getting to the programs that take place in the middle of the day.

The “Lunch & Learn” program every Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. is a case in point. Billed as “where noonish gets really interesting,” the center offers coffee and a “nosh” from 11 to 11:30 a.m., followed by a stimulating hourlong talk or performance. Lunch is served at 12:30 p.m. The cost is $5 to attend the entire program or $2 for the program without lunch. An optional session of Brain Games follows the lunch at 1 p.m.

The speakers for the programs are varied and cover a wide variety of interests.

Recent Lunch & Learns have featured a participatory drum circle, a talk about scandals of the Gilded Age, a newspaper editor speaking about the changing face of journalism, a State of the County report from Dutchess County executive Marcus Molinaro and a “Socrates Café” that provided a forum to discuss an ethical or philosophical question through Socratic dialogue. Upcoming Lunch & Learn programs in May will feature a poetry reading by Laurence Sansone, poet laureate of Beacon, and the Poughkeepsie High School jazz combo making a return visit.

Hudson Valley Community Center

The next Lunch & Learn on Wednesday, April 23 will feature Sister Peggy Murphy, professor of Religious Studies at Mount St. Mary College in Newburgh. Her talk will focus on the moving and transformative experience that she had while attending last summer’s International Seminar on Holocaust Education at Yad Vashem in Israel.

Until very recently (January first of this year), the Hudson Valley Community Center was the Jewish Community Center of Dutchess County, with a long history going back to 1923 serving those of the Jewish faith. While the Center is now more broadly focused on programming for all faiths, there are still Jewish values at the heart of some of the programming and a strong community of Jewish members who have been with the Center for some time.

The center will acknowledge Holocaust Remembrance Day (Yom Hashoah), which falls on Monday, April 28 this year, with Mirage Theatre’s Distant Survivors, a dramatic adaptation of Holocaustrelated poetry by William Heyen. Mirage’s artistic director June Prager was born in Poland and spent the first few years of her life on the run from the Nazis with her parents. Performances will be held on Saturday, April 26 at 8 p.m. and Sunday, April 27 at 3 p.m. General admission seating costs $15, or $10 for seniors and students. Reservations at (845) 471-0433 are strongly recommended, as seating in the intimate “black box”-style setting is limited.

Other programs for seniors include a book club, a knitting and crochet group and the Conversational Yiddish Club.

At the other end of the age spectrum, the Early Childhood Center at HVCC is licensed by the state Office of Children and Family Services. Preschool, holiday and afterschool programs are offered.

For older children, there are camps coming this summer, including an allstars competitive cheerleading camp.

Tryouts will take place on Tuesday and Wednesday, May 13 and 14 at 5:30 p.m. for boys and girls ages four and up.

For all ages, the well-maintained fitness center has state-of-the-art circuit training machines, along with treadmills, bicycles, an ab-roller, boxing gear and a Stairmaster. A personal trainer is available.

The pool offers lap swimming and open swim sessions, a q u a t h e r a p y, aquatic exercise classes and s w i m m i n g lessons, along with lifeguarding and CPR education classes.

A day pass for non-members costs $6 for use of the entire center if accompanied by an HVCC member or $6 per facility (gym, pool, fitness room) for non-members on their own.

The facilities can be rented out for any number of activities. The auditorium holds up to 300 people, and there are two conference rooms. The gym can be rented for any team’s athletic practice, and even the pool is available at hourly rates.

But in addition to all the programming that HVCC offers, says Goldsmith, “We want to be a home to other groups and services.” Dutchess County’s Office for the Aging will soon begin serving lunches for seniors on weekdays (except for Wednesdays, when Lunch & Learn happens), and the Stringendo music program for youth – which includes the Strawberry Hill Fiddlers and the Orchestra School of the Hudson Valley – holds its afterschool music programs at the site.

And then there’s the dance held in the Center’s auditorium on the third Friday of every month for disabled adults and their caregivers. The Star Dances, organized

by Poughkeepsie-based minister Jule DeBow, feature a live deejay and refreshments, and draw several hundred people at nominal charge. The next dance takes place on Friday, April 18 from 6 to 8 p.m.

Free books Wednesday is World Book Night – and Shakespeare’s birthday/deathday

W

e don’t really know exactly when William Shakespeare was born; the only written documentation records his baptism on April 26, 1564. Backdating three days from that to give his mother a chance to get up and around yields April 23 as the date on which the Bard’s nativity is traditionally marked. If it’s correct, he died on his 52nd birthday – the same day, incidentally, that Miguel de Cervantes shuffled off this mortal coil.

The real question, though, isn’t when to celebrate, but rather how to celebrate. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has designated April 23 each year as the International Day of the Book – not for Shakespeare but for Cervantes.

In the Catalonia region of Spain, there’s a longstanding tradition of remembering Cervantes by giving a book and a flower to a loved one on April 23.

An international organization called World Book Night takes this delightful practice a step farther by compiling an annual list of several dozen books in various genres, for young readers on up, printing millions of copies and distributing them to volunteer “givers” for free redistribution. Each giver receives 20 copies of one of his or her top three choices from the list, and is then tasked with giving them away to people within the community who need a little nudge to read more. Ideally, it’s all supposed to happen on the 23rd.

ight, so the astrophysicists tell us, is both a wave and a particle at the same time. And everything in nature from subatomic particles on up, whether matter or energy, vibrates at its own peculiar frequency. If all those perpetually humming entities could somehow bring their vibes into harmony, perhaps the world we know would become a more peaceful place.

That’s the premise behind Om for Peace, an organized international event scheduled to happen in this time zone between 6 and 7 p.m. this Sunday, April 20, which also happens to be Easter.

Anyone and everyone is invited to participate, alone or preferably with a

group. All you have to do is sing or chant the syllable Om, at whatever note you like and for however long your breath permits, while meditating on a wish for peace.

There are many advantages to organizing a group to participate in this exercise together in your local yoga studio, meditation center, dance studio, theater or living room. You can play with harmonies, letting the pitch of your voice rise and fall to meld with others’. Whenever one person’s breath gives out, another can take over. The idea is to keep it going for the full hour, or even longer if possible.

M

uch of the magic of Central Park is due to Calvert Vaux’s architectural genius – and yet most of the people who visit the park have never heard of the man. Though Frederic Olmsted is universally recognized as the designer of the park, it was the Englishborn Vaux who brought the unknown Olmsted on board as his partner in the design-winning plan for the park in 1857, and it was Vaux who designed the park’s bridges, gazebos, Dairy, Belvedere, Terrace and other fanciful structures. Vaux’s Romantically inspired architectural accents transform the winding paths, intimate woodlands and carefully created vistas of meadowlands and lake into a pastoral Arcadia, while also serving the practical purpose of creating pleasurable places for the public to sit, snack and be entertained. His legacy of picturesque garden architecture remains unrivaled in its ability to inspire emotion and captivate our imaginations.

Vaux got started here in the Hudson Valley, where he designed many wonderful houses, including the Hoyt House in Staatsburg: a near-ruin that is finally getting its due. In 1850 the Englishman arrived in Newburgh to work as the assistant to Andrew Jackson Downing, then the leading American

authority on horticulture and domestic architecture. After Downing’s death in a steamboat accident, Vaux became the nation’s most prominent architect and landscape architect in the Picturesque style. He continued to visit Europe, studying and sketching the architecture, parks and other landmarks of England and the Continent as the inspiration for his designs. The intimate massing of towers, gables, and dormers and exquisite ornamentation inspired by Gothic, Tuscan and other European styles of his country houses magically integrated them into their rustic settings.

He also designed New York City townhouses, lodging houses for the poor

and institutional buildings, and following the success of Central Park designed with Olmsted a number of other parks, including Brooklyn’s Prospect Park. Vaux spent most of his career in New York City, but he never lost his connection to the Hudson Valley: He married the sister of Kingston-based landscape painter Jervis McEntee, designing McEntee’s Gothicinspired studio on a bluff in the Rondout, which became a second home to him and his family.

Vaux designed the Gothic Revival mansion for Lydig Hoyt, the heir of a wealthy New York City merchant, and his wife, Blanche Livingston, in 1855. It was built of bluestone quarried from the

site, located in what’s now Norrie State Park, adjacent to the Mills Mansion, in Staatsburg, on a magnificent spot overlooking the Hudson River. In 1962, the New York Office of Parks and Recreation, under the leadership of Robert Moses – another personage who shaped the New York City landscape, though in radically different ways – used eminent domain to acquire the mansion from Hoyt’s descendants as part of its consolidation of riverfront land for a 900-acre state park. The state planned to tear it down (a fate unfortunately shared by many Vaux houses in the region) and build a swimming pool; but after the local community protested, it let it stand, where

it has languished for five decades.

One day ten years ago Alan Strauber, a History professor at Westchester Community College and City College, was walking his dog in the park when he came upon the boardedup, dilapidated mansion and was transfixed.

To preserve the house, in 2007 he and other academics and concerned citizens organized the C a l v e r t Va u x Preservation Alliance (CVPA). Several years ago, the group raised enough money to repair some of the exterior stonework and install an alarm system to prevent further vandalism. With the recent awarding of

$750,000 in state and matching federal grants, they are now ready to start the restoration officially, beginning with the repair of the roof, gutters and chimneys. Next on the list, after more money is raised, are installation of utilities, new windows and drainage-related improvements, which will be followed by work on the interior.

The first floor had been redesigned in the 20th century, but the upper floors still have the original moldings. Most of the mantels are missing, though the state has several of the originals in storage.

CVPA also plans to recreate the original verandah, which once wrapped around

The state planned to tear down Hoyt House in 1962 and build a swimming pool; but after the local community protested, it let it stand

three sides of the house and extended from either side of the castlelike brownstone entrance porch.

What are more or less intact, although extensively overgrown, are the 92-acre grounds, which also include a barn, carriagehouse and greenhouse. The long, winding entry road was designed by Vaux in harmony with the landscape of woods, marshes and meadows, including some spectacular trees that he took special care to preserve. The approach to the house, through a set of gates that prefigure the entrance to Central Park from Columbus Circle, is still impressive, with trees lining the circular driveway and the original stone pillars in place, according to Strauber.

Vaux’s masterful harmonization of his houses with the environment has inspired the CVPA to think about how the historic house could be integrated with the needs of today: a plan that eschews creating another house museum in favor of an adaptive reuse, in which the building would serve as a center of educational programs on history, related to architecture, the region, the US and, of course, the restoration of the house.

Strauber said that residencies by a chamber ensemble and theater company that have both expressed interest are also being considered. Down the road, the property would be ideal for “sustainable

agriculture. We’d love to get a restaurant to inhabit the dining room, featuring garden-to-table eating.” The group also plans to incorporate solar heating and other renewable energy programs into the restoration.

To find out more about the history, architectural significance and future plans for the Hoyt House, come to Stauber’s free talk at the Staatsburg Library on Tuesday, April 22 at 7 p.m. There’s still a lot of work to do, with the total cost of restoring the house, grounds and outbuildings estimated at $6 to $7 million, he said.

But he believes that the investment would not only save an important architectural historic site, but also benefit the community through its educational programs and economic assets as a tourist attraction. And it would be another step in resurrecting the reputation of Vaux, whose buildings and parks, as much as the canvases of the painters of his day, helped establish the Hudson Valley as the epitome of the Romantic landscape.

hat happens to art when it has served its function? Such questions aren’t answered much, because most artifacts of our culture still carry with them a heavy veneer of immortality, from the archival materials used to ensure timelessness to the protections granted these objects, as if holy relics. However, there are and always have been those who also cherish the leftovers from theatrical productions, performance art and happenings; as well as the changes in attitude being brought to us all by the late great John Cage’s fascination with indeterminacy, or Marina Abramovic’s championing of all that comes from endurance-art experiences.

Many of today’s most memorable artists work in these areas, where permanence and impermanence collide.

Think of Warhol’s proverbial (and partly apocryphal) 15 minutes of fame; Robert Smithson; Damien Hirst’s animal bodies suspended in formaldehyde; Carolee Schneemann’s entire oeuvre; Andy Goldsworthy. And now there are Jason Heckenwerth’s balloon sculptures – although, given all the hoopla surrounding what has happened to one of the latter’s works in a second life now underway in Catskill, we may be entering a whole new era of art attitudes, including its eventual reuse in new formats.

Here’s what’s happening, and how it touches on us here in the Almanac reading area, as well as on arts attitudes: Hackenwerth exploded on the scene

he effects of a 13-year war become harder and harder to wrap one’s head around, the longer those wars linger.

And they linger beyond facts of foreign occupation or political discussion: They reverberate in personal tragedies, family repercussions and a wounded sense of self on many a level, including the national.

“War & Memory” is the name of a new exhibit of works by 11 internationally recognized photojournalists tracking an equal number of military veterans one on one, up at Beacon’s Fovea Exhibitions through July 6. “These injuries don’t just stop because the soldier is home,” says a depicted military wife, whose husband survived his injuries. Yet hope and strength are embodied everywhere in this highly personalized exhibit, which pairs photos with written and artistic creations by those depicted.

The exhibition is drawn from photography collected by the Homecoming Project and a public awareness campaign founded by Erin Trieb: a photographer who spent four years documenting veterans and years collecting photography and art to illuminate issues faced by returning veterans and their communities. “The project is about turning awareness into action,” Trieb has said of what’s behind this collection, set to travel, “and connecting those in need with those who can help.”

hometown’s enterprising Masters on Main Street project, which had been staging a variety of art shows along the town’s Main Street over the past few years as a means of drawing new economic development energy to the community – and succeeding. So MoMS director Fawn Potash (my wife, for sake of disclosure) said “Sure,” even though there was no huge space in which to show the 40-foot-tall sculpture, aviary-shaped in its original form.

At that point, an entire town of artlovers shifted into high gear for what became a mass of opening events for Heckenwerth’s magnum opus last weekend and more happenings leading up to several finales over the early-May Cinco de Mayo weekend. First, some donors came forth to rent two 30-foot trucks and a crew of drivers and handlers to coax the dismantled balloon behemoth out of the Guggenheim in the wee hours of April 3 for the drive upstate. There, starting at 4:30 a.m., Potash and a growing host of community volunteers unloaded the 6,000-plus balloons into a Main Street storefront and in-process new theater space for reconfiguring (and much retwisting) under the guidance of Heckenwerth’s studio assistants, brought up April 4 for a massive elementary school assembly where nearly 400 kids created their own thousand-balloon sculpture now hanging in their cafeteria/gym.

For a while, the Greene County Office Building on Main Street took a thousand balloons, put up and reconfigured by

county workers, until worries about latex allergies forced the whole kit and caboodle out after several days of awesome, giggling fun by everyone. The village, looking forward to crowds coming in to see the balloons and other Second Saturday cultural events up and down Main Street on April 12, put up hundreds of its own balloons everywhere.

Photos of the school events, the trucks full of balloons, the theater and storefront configurations in various lights and visitors shooting from within the sculptures started going viral on Facebook, Twitter and other forms of social media – all with the blessing of Heckenwerth, who was off to other commissions, and the delight of local artists amazed at both the

popularity of what was unfolding and the various questions that it raised about how creations can get recreated these days of tweets, retweets and samplings.

“My work is part of a growing dialogue of artists exploring the possibilities of experiential art” is how the original artist has long described what he does. “Inspired by the iconic sculptures and mobiles of past masters and fueled by curiosity, each of my works is an expression in the evolving language of sculpture.”

This past week, he prepared a newer statement about what Potash has now dubbed “Aviary Reimagined”: “The commonality of the material is so accessible and so easy to understand, instead of people being frightened

15 of the work, as a lot of people are for contemporary art, they seem to be joyous and happy,” Heckenwerth said of what he does and this new idea of refitting it into other locations beyond high-end art institution functions. “We get to reach so many more people. I’m just thrilled and honored that the community of Catskill is so happy to have the worth there.”

This past Saturday, whole families stood and gaped outside the Main Street windows filled with an amorphous floorto-ceiling octopuslike configuration of thousands of balloons. Back on Bridge Street, where the new theater-owners were also giving tours of their space and plans, bevies of kids bunched inside a big yellow dome of more balloons, while thousands more seemed to cascade down the walls as musician Rob Hervey played didgeridoo space tunes and artists hobnobbed with local politicos and a steady stream of visitors.

Both sites will stay open through Sunday, May 4, when items will be taken from the theater over to a large lot near the County Building, where a Thomas Cole-designed church once stood, for a fun-filled Cinco de Mayo celebration including music, with some events within the balloon sculpture at the theater each of these next two weekends. We’re also hearing (and our sources are good) that some benefit finale’s being planned involving paid opportunities to pop as many balloons as one can in a minute. Talk about a variation on piñatas – and a new way of rethinking all that permanency of art, and final ownership of the creative impulses held within any individual artist’s art pieces. Yet again, a new world seems to have started blooming – or at least ballooning – up in Catskill.

“Aviary: Reimagined” is on display through May 3 at 404 Main Street and the Bridge Street Theatre at 44 West Bridge Street. The former is by window viewing; the theater space will be open Saturdays through May 3 from 12 noon to 4 p.m. or by appointment, with balloonrelated readings of The Story of Babar on Saturday, April 19 at 1 p.m., The Pigeon Man on April 26 at 1 p.m. and The Red Balloon on May 3 at 1 p.m. For more information, call (518) 943-3400, visit www.greenearts.org, or follow the hashtag #catskillballoons on Twitter.

MOVIE

ALMANAC WEEKLY

April 17, 2014

NYU-TRAINED DIRECTOR RITESH BATRA initially set out to make a documentary about the dabbawallas, who for over a century have been hauling urban workers’ lunches, prepared at home for them by their spouses in the morning, to their offices by lunchtime.

The Lunchbox is a savory cinematic snack from the Subcontinent

W

hen most people think of Bollywood, what come to mind are lavishly costumed fairytale melodramas stuffed with big musical production numbers, of little interest to cinephiles in this country outside the South Asian expatriate community.

Thus Ritesh Batra’s first feature film The Lunchbox (Dabba) comes as a stealthy surprise that even Anglo audiences can dig into with relish.

It’s not an extravaganza in the usual Bollywood mode, but a gently funny, wistful romance about two lost souls in Mumbai who connect via notes tucked into a stack of nested lunch tins. Yes, there’s a bit of singing – snatches of popular song drifting from an apartmentcomplex window, or a troop of kids on a train chanting off-key, or the formidable dabbawallas shouting out their proud theme song as their truckload of lunchboxes plies the bumpy streets of the Indian metropolis – but it could never be categorized as a musical.

There are elements of magical realism in the way that certain incidents are linked by improbable coincidences wafting through the air. But the lead characters seem believably real and grounded in life’s disappointments, and their arc to a happy ending is left hanging ambiguously in midair. Whatever you were expecting from a movie made in India, The Lunchbox isn’t it.

spouses in the morning, to their offices by lunchtime. A Harvard Business School study – the inspiration for a very funny scene toward the end of the movie, where a dabbawalla insists that the mix-up that propels the narrative could not possibly have happened – lauded the huge operation as a model of efficiency. Batra even imbedded himself with a dabbawalla crew for a time. But somewhere along the line, the concept morphed into a fiction feature, and the result is a charming debut presaging a career to keep an eye on in the future.

The two principals of The Lunchbox are Ila (Nimrat Kaur), a lovely, 30ish wife and mother whose husband Rajeev (Nakul Vaid) has become oblivious to her, and Saajan (Irrfan Khan, who played the adult Pi in Life of Pi), a lonely widower nearing retirement from his job as an insurance claims processor.

That’s when the dabbawalla service inexplicably switches Shaikh’s lunchbox with the one that Saajan orders daily from a restaurant.

Shaikh never notices; but starting with his first whiff of Ila’s cooking, Saajan begins gradually to fall in love.

“Painting is poetry

(PG-13)

3D

All the major performances in this lowkey romantic comedy are naturalistic and skillful, with the grumpy-faced Khan saying more with a single eyebrow lift or slight scowl than in a paragraph’s worth of dialogue. The story is sweet but not frothy or improbably optimistic, a little achy but refreshingly free of excess pathos. And the gritty surroundings of Mumbai come so vividly to life that the city itself becomes one of The Lunchbox’s primary characters.

I can’t think of a more subtly enticing entryway to the joys of Indian cinema.

It’ll add a dash of curry to your workweek for sure.

NIGHT SKY

Five-star purchases Self-indulgences for skywatchers need not be astronomically priced

S

ay you got a tax refund. Unlike most folks around here, whose winter heating bills have left them living in a dumpster, you’ve got a bunch of extra money. And you love nature. Well? How can you get the most bang for the buck?

Let’s do three categories: telescopes, binoculars and travel.

My short advice for anyone contemplating purchasing the former is: Don’t. I’ve said it before: Ninety-nine percent of those who buy a telescope use it once or twice and then never again. That’s because, despite advertising claims of automatic tracking, easy object acquisition and go-to capability and all the rest, telescopes are fussy to use. Most varieties need their mirrors adjusted or collimated periodically. It’s not too difficult, but will you do it?

Telescopes cannot be pointed out a window, open or closed. They can’t be used on a wooden deck. So they have to be hauled in and out each time. They require several setup steps for each session. As for finding objects in the night sky, the Moon is a no-brainer and is great to observe when it’s not full. But can you find Saturn? Or the globular cluster in Hercules? Only about a dozen objects are truly striking in a backyard telescope, so you have to be able to find those. Moreover, magazine astro-photos show dramatic detail and gorgeous color, but directly viewed galaxies are always gray and blurry. Bottom line: Few are motivated to keep lugging the awkward thing in and out. Of course, if you or your teenage child has a serious and growing interest in astronomy, that’s another story entirely.

Now for binoculars: Hundreds of models fill dozens of catalogues. But my advice is either to get a good cheap one for about $35, or else to spend ten times that and spring for an image-stabilized model. Don’t buy anything in between. If you don’t already own a pair, or your binoculars are 40 years old, this is an optical tool that can deliver a lifetime of pleasure. It will be useful celestially as well as during the day.

On the low end, get the Celestron UpClose G2 model, either 10 x 50 or 8 x 40. You’ll pay less than $40, including shipping. Its image is bright and clear, and it has excellent contrast and “pop.� On the high end, choose the Canon 10 x 30 IS model, and expect to pay around $400. It has got the perfect balance. Unlike even-more-expensive stabilized

models, it’s relatively lightweight. It delivers astonishing images. And of course, the view is rock-steady, allowing the perception of exquisitely fine detail. Check online at places like B & H Photo.

How else can you spend money to enhance your enjoyment of the universe? You could (ahem) come along on one of our Northern Lights tours to Alaska or join us on a Chile mountaintop, at http://bermanastronomytours.com. Or just head out on your own this summer to the southern Arizona desert or any large meadow in rural Montana. The sky doesn’t get much better than those places.

Or save your money for a future total solar eclipse: the most mindbending celestial experience of all. After a 38-year hiatus, the Moon’s shadow will finally fall over the continental United States on August 21, 2017. Mark it on your calendar and plan on heading to the Western states that summer. I’ll be more specific as the date gets closer.

Summer vacation in the shadow of the Moon: priceless. – Bob Berman Want to know more? To read Bob Berman’s previous “Night Sky� columns, visit our Almanac Weekly website at HudsonValleyAlmanacWeekly.com.

his winter’s cold is most evident on bamboo. Clumps of tawny dead leaves, still attached to the canes, stare out from among the trunks and stems of dormant trees and shrubs. I hadn’t realized that bamboo was so widely planted.

The depth of cold isn’t what killed the canes and leaves; it was the duration of cold. Seventy miles south of here, leaves of yellow groove bamboo, Phyllostachys

aureosulcata – among the most coldhardy of the thick-caned bamboos – typically stay green and fresh all winter, but even they’ve been killed.

No, the plants aren’t dead – just their canes and leaves. Warm weather will coax new shoots from the roots, shoots that will push skyward rapidly. I’ve measured as much as six inches of elongation per day. The record for bamboo growth (not around here, of course) is almost three

Dead canes, whether from age or from winter cold, eventually need to be removed to keep a grove looking spry. For my planting, I decided on the dramatic approach, cutting virtually the whole planting to the ground. I used a lopper, attacking canes one at a time, then a machete to remove side shoots with leaves from canes worth saving – not an easy job, but one that yielded an abundance of useful canes. Now, what to do with my stockpile?

outdoors. In a greenhouse, on a windowsill or beneath fluorescent lights, these plants lead a coddled life. Outside, life is tougher: Temperatures swing 50 degrees in a 24-hour period, winds whip tender leaves and intense sunlight beats down.

What these plants need is a couple of weeks of acclimatization: “hardening off.” Not too quickly and not too severely, though, or leaves could burn or flowers could appear prematurely; a plant could even die from shock. The thing to do is to find some cozy spot outdoors for the transplants: a spot that is sheltered from wind and receives sun for only part of the day, or else dappled sun all day. After about a week, the plants are ready to be moved to a more exposed location – one that just takes the edge off gusty winds and broiling sun. A week at this second location and plants are ready to be planted out in their permanent homes.

The kinds of changes that hardeningoff induces in coddled seedlings depends on the nature of the seedlings themselves. Seedlings of cabbage, lettuce, snapdragons, pansies and other plants that can eventually laugh off cold even below freezing develop a tolerance for cold by building up sugars in their cells.

Gradual exposure to more intense light also thickens cell walls, fibers and cuticles on both existing and new leaves. With increasing light exposure, chloroplasts – the green, light-trapping energy factories in leaves – move around and align themselves in such a way that the leaves turn darker green. And the leaves’ stomatal pores, through which water is lost and carbon dioxide and oxygen are exchanged, become more quickly able to open and close in response to changing conditions.

Cold-tender plants such as tomatoes, marigolds and zinnias suffer at temperatures even above freezing. With these plants, chilling injury causes changes in plant membranes that interfere with photosynthesis and damaging toxins build up in leaves. Hardening-off makes these plants better able to repair and prevent such damage. But temperatures that still drop below freezing mean that it’s still too early to begin hardening off cold-tender plants. Anyway, they’re still too small.

Wait a month.

During the two weeks of hardening off any plant, growth slows and the plant becomes stockier. This is good; it indicates that a transplant is ready to face the world.

It’s time to prune trees and shrubs!

I will be hosting a Pruning Workshop at my New Paltz farmden on April 27 from 2 to 5:30 p.m. Learn the tools of the trade and how plants respond to pruning, and see hands-on pruning of filberts, blueberries, lilacs and other plants. Space is limited, so preregistration is necessary. The cost is $55 per person. To register, e-mail garden@leereich.com or call (845) 2550417.

From April 23 to 26, Cornell Cooperative Extension of Ulster County (CCEUC) master gardeners are clearing out their entire inventory of berry, vegetable and tree seedlings, as well as herbs, flowers and heirloom seeds! Take advantage of a wide variety of plantings including blueberries, raspberries and strawberries, a great assortment of heirloom seeds, hardy vegetables like asparagus and horseradish and a wonderful array of evergreen seedlings including deerresistant ten-packs of three-year-old bare-root seedlings of Colorado blue, Norway and white spruce. For more information about specific dates, locations and plants available, go to www. cceulster.org or call (845) 340-3990, extension 332.

early education center

he first official Earth Day is listed in the record books as April 22, 1970, but examples of environmental awareness and sustainability in daily life can be found throughout the Hudson Valley.

Generations ago, Samuel Morse’s Locust Grove estate in Poughkeepsie used an icebox in the butler’s pantry that drained the melted water into a cistern downstairs for reuse. In 2012, the Millbrook School’s Trevor Zoo upgraded to a green parking lot, which means parking on cooling, oxygen-producing grass instead of hot asphalt and reducing storm runoff into the nearby stream.

US senator, governor and Earth Day founder Gaylord Nelson said: “The wealth of the nation is its air, water, soil, forests, minerals, rivers, lakes, oceans, scenic beauty, wildlife habitats and biodiversity…that’s all there is. That’s the whole economy. That’s where all the economic activity and jobs come from. These biological systems are the sustaining wealth of the world.”

Here’s a list of events and activities for your family to help celebrate Earth Day

How to raise worms at home Our family enjoyed making wormeries last week. Would you like to try it? We placed a packing-tapecovered toilet paper roll in the middle of a clear, one-quart lidded container.

The roll helps keep the worms closer to the side of the container where we could see them better. We surrounded it with alternating layers of sand and soil until nearing the top of the container. A sprinkle of grated carrots went on top; we spritzed it with water, then added our worms and replaced the top back on the wormery. We taped a piece of dark paper to the outside of the container and decorated it with chalk, keeping the soil dark for the worms. We’re starting to see the soil and sand mix together, and eventually they will all blend into one mixture. Happy wormery-making!
