CHECK IT OUT Dutchess County Fair continues in Rhinebeck

INGRID KULICK (DUTCHESS CO. FAIR)

The 169th Dutchess County Fair, which began on August 19, continues every day through Sunday, August 24 at the Dutchess County Fairgrounds in Rhinebeck. It is the second-largest county fair in New York State. Although many will come for the guilty pleasures of fairground food and a wide range of children’s activities, carnival rides and live entertainment, the organizers say that their mission is actually to remain true to the founding principles of the Dutchess County Agricultural Society, and to protect the agricultural integrity of the fair. There is plenty of that, for sure.

Hours are from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. each day. Check the full schedule on the website at www.dutchessfair.com. Continuous live entertainment is offered throughout the fair, but for most of the Grandstand Concert Series, there is an extra charge beyond the $15 general admission fee ($10 for seniors and military and free for kids under age 12, $7 general admission after 5 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday). Danielle Bradbery and the Swon Brothers will play on Thursday, August 21 at 7:30 p.m. and cost $15 to $20. Tickets for the Felice Brothers with Simone Felice on Friday, August 22 at 7 p.m. are free. A few other charges apply: Rides are by tickets sold ten for $20. On closing day, Sunday, August 24, spectators at the Painted Pony Rodeo at 2 and 6 p.m. will find bull-riding, barrel-racing and more at a ticket cost of $10 for adults, $5 for kids ages 6 to 12 and free for ages 5 and under. – Sharyn Flanagan Dutchess County Fair, Tuesday-Sunday, August 19-24, 10 a.m.-10 p.m., $15/$10,Dutchess County Fairgrounds, 6500 Springbrook Avenue (Route 9), Rhinebeck; (845) 876-4000, www. dutchessfair.com.

$5K Sacred Sites grant for Kingston’s Old Dutch Church The New York Landmarks Conservancy has awarded a $5,000 Sacred Sites grant to the Old Dutch Church

100s of things to do every week

in Kingston. The grant is one of 22 awarded to historic religious properties throughout New York State, with more than $300,000 awarded in total. The funding given to the Old Dutch Church (also known as First Reformed Protestant Dutch Church of Kingston) will pay for replacement of the existing unvented protective window glazing that has yellowed and become cloudy over time. The work will include repainting of the existing window frames, which are in good condition, and the installation of new protective glazing mounted in a new frame, which should have fewer horizontal divisions and will be appropriately vented. The 1852 church, constructed of locally quarried limestone, is a National Historic Landmark. The church site (its burial ground predates the church) witnessed the formation of the New York State government. The Conservancy’s Sacred Sites program has helped more than 700 religious institutions across New York State with over $8.4 million in grants triggering $570 million in restoration and construction projects.

We have a rich history tied to American legends such as Babe Ruth, ‘Dutch’ Schultz and others. Myths abound concerning everything from a Native American romantic tragedy to the first snowmobile to a secret stash of gold,” noted longtime Shandaken supervisor Rob Stanley, one of the founders of the event, now celebrating its tenth year (as well as the fifth anniversary of the placing of a statue tied to that fated Big Indian). “Stop by and visit, or stay for the rest of your life...” Events for the 10 a.m.-to-6 p.m. day include watermelon-eating contests, spoon and egg races, water-balloon tosses and a townwide tug-of-war contest. There’ll be local vendors, local music, loads of food and the granting of “Hamlet Heroes” awards to some favorite personalities from the honored area. It all takes place in Big Indian Park: a quiet nook by the upper stretches of the Esopus Creek surrounded by mountains. – Paul Smart Shandaken Day, Saturday, August 23, 10 a.m.-6 p.m., Big Indian Park, Route 28, Big Indian; (845) 688-5004, www. shandaken.us/recreation/shandakenday.

During his stint as a Saturday Night Live regular, Colin Quinn hosted all the Weekend Update segments on the Monica Lewinsky scandal, coined the catchphrase “That’s my story and I’m sticking to it,” and ran a regular segment named “Colin Quinn Explains The New York Times.” Later he co-starred with Adam Sandler in the Grown Ups movies, had a oneman show on Broadway directed by Jerry Seinfeld and built a recurring character on the HBO hit Girls. His new “Unconstitutional Comedy” show – which he brings to the Belleayre Music Festival on Saturday night, August 23 – revels in all that he has picked up since growing up the son of Park Slope teachers in Brooklyn. In it, he takes on US history from the moment our “founders” started wrestling with the writing of a Constitution; and things devolve from there. It’s a follow-up to his earlier History of the World in 70 minutes.

WISHBONE ZOE MAY NOT OR MAY NOT KNOW the extent to which their/her style matrix can be traced back to Tom Waits’s late ’80s and early ’90s albums, his peculiar fusion of deep Americana, nightmare circus, Kurt Weill and the anthropological production values that Waits learned to love on Library of Congress recordings.

Wishbone Zoe at the Anchor

wisted cabaret, circus roots, garbage waltzes: The novelty is gone, and this is a good thing. Now the style recedes, becomes one option and set of (p) references among many, as valid and as ordinary as any other. Peter Gabriel once said that when he dove headlong into world music, one effect was the temporary disabling of his standards and his faculties of taste. Everything that he heard hit him with an alien, arresting freshness and he had no foundation or authority for rating and judgment and sorting, though he did develop them eventually. That’s where we’re at now with the old trash genre: It’s familiar and accepted now, and thus rises or falls on its other qualities. Northampton’s Wishbone Zoe title their/her new album All These Oddities, and while the collection does careen between charming klutz-waltzes, oompah (lots of oompah!), uncategorizable bits of trash art and the rural surreal, it is really not that odd at all to the weathered old ears of contemporary indie folk. This terrain is mapped. Here there be monsters, and here dragons. All These Oddities, however, is a thoroughly wonderful record for other reasons entirely. Wishbone Zoe may not or may not know the extent to which their/her style matrix can be traced back to Tom Waits’s late ’80s and early ’90s albums, his peculiar fusion of deep Americana, nightmare circus, Kurt Weill and the anthropological production values that Waits learned to love on Library of Congress recordings. It’s

Wishbone Zoe

irrelevant, though. It is now officially okay for anything to sound this way, but no longer inherently heightened or special. Wishbone Zoe earn it in the songto-song distinction and brilliance of this record. The album leads, in classic indie contrarian form, with its most unsettled and asymmetrical track: the detuned kalimba-powered “Agatha.” Cutting the barnyard waltzes (“Greatest Show in Town”) and droning rural myths (“Barefoot Girl,” “Lullaby for Olga”) are several bracing and inventive rockers (“Windy City,” “Garbage Disposal Kid”) to keep your ears on their toes (and to help this stuff play in the bars and clubs, too).

Finally, what impress most about All These Oddities are not its panoply of quirks and its log of time travels, but its fastidious and committed approach to the singularity and otherworldliness of each song.

Third World at Bearsville

he Bearsville Theater continues its legacy of A-list contemporary reggae music with Third World, accompanied by frequent Bearsville guest Royal Khaoz, on Friday, August 22 at 9 p.m. In nearly 40 years of performing, the ten-time Grammy-nominated Third World has produced multiple hits, including “Now that We Found Love,” “96 Degrees in the Shade” and “Try Jah Love.” Third World’s style has often been described as “reggae-fusion.” Singer Bunny Rugs sort of agrees, describing the band’s sound as “Strictly a reggae band, no. Definitely a reggae band, yes.” “The hybrid of various types of music is a natural thing because, by growing up in Jamaica, we know the direct roots of reggae and ska. At the same time, we live in a country where you got to hear Chuck Berry, Fats Domino and all the R & B artists,” added guitarist Cat Coore. Bassist Richard Daley sums it up succinctly: “We took roots reggae music and put branches on top of it.” Tickets cost $35 and $50. The Bearsville Theater is located at 291 Tinker Street in Woodstock.

Falcon hosts Slide Brothers on Friday

Roz & the Rice Cakes’ fantastic new album Need to Feed (2014, Team Love Records) is a rigorously coherent and consistent piece of work. It feels like expansive, ambitious and arty rock, and it is all of those things; but it finds all its magic and its variety within an aggressively limited set of sounds. The Providence-based electric piano trio writes dynamic, gritty and skittish post-rock songs. The sharp corners have sharp corners. Cavernous, livefeel production highlights the trio’s striking combination of rawness and tightness, guts and musical sophistication. A few numbers depart from the aggressive piano-trio template, most notably the ambient, modal chant of the album-opening “The Birds,” the calliope pop of “Missing” and the record’s one true incongruity, the cutesy folk duet “Follow Suit.” Otherwise, this record comes from one very deep and centered place, resisting the ever-ready options of antiquing, baroquing and toy-chest ornament. And one of the best things about that is

Sacred steel is a mighty fine thing, especially when practiced with the true gospel fervor that the Slide Brothers, who’ll be playing at the Falcon in Marlboro this Friday night, August 22. Think of what the Allman Brothers started way back when, then take it back a few notches into the Southern church, add some of the gospel roots of soul music, then pump it forward into the form of a spectacular five-piece band with slide guitar legends Calvin Cooke, of Nashville sessions fame; Aubrey Ghent, nephew of the form’s founder; and church-soul effects maestro Chuck Campbell; plus Darick Campbell, who also plays a

mean pedal steel. “Growing up in church, traditional blues music always came off to us as a little bit sloppy,” Chuck Campbell says. “It was not as precise as sacred steel, where it is always about mimicking the voices heard in the church. We wanted to play these songs with the same conviction we have in church: playing the steel so that you can almost hear the words as if they were sung by a voice.” – Paul Smart Slide Brothers, Friday, August 22, 7 p.m., the Falcon, 1348 Route 9W, Marlboro; (845) 236-7970, www.liveatthefalcon. com.

SHOW

ROBBIE DUPREE AT BEARSVILLE ON AUGUST 29

hrough a career that has seen ten full-length albums, Robbie Dupree has turned toward a new path, one more in keeping with the times. The singer, who has filled his albums with his own songs for the most part, has embarked on releasing singles on iTunes, rather than committing to full albums. The reasons are many. Robbie Dupree and friends (including Jimmy Fallon) “Releasing them individually allows me more latitude musically than in the constraints of an album concept,” said Dupree, who is now preparing for his annual concert next Friday, August 29 at the Bearsville Theater. “CD sales are in the dumps. I don’t see any change in that happening. Since all the singles are individually funded now, it’s more practical to take them on in smaller numbers. You can invest $5,000 in a single or $50,000 in an album. And musically, they don’t have to fit better. I have the freedom to take individual songs one at a time, and I can be more experimental.” The first in the new series is different from what listeners have come to know from Dupree. Gone are the lush keyboard-based backgrounds in favor of a lean guitar-based, nearly acoustic ballad titled “In God’s Country,” co-produced by Julie Last, with lead guitar by Christopher Cross, Tony Levin on bass and Jeff Pevar on guitar. “There are no background vocals or stylistic choruses. I enjoyed the opportunity to not do it like that. The next one will be released in January. Then I’ll try to keep it on a schedule of one every three months after that.” For the August 29 performance, Dupree will have a bigger show. “I try to keep it to an annual concert locally. It’s sponsored by Markertek, and with that I am able to expand the show. There’s an opening act, Amanda Homi, and an expanded band with guest musicians, including Bill Harris on saxophone and new vocalists Keith Fluitt and Zhana Roiya.” Guitar legend David Spinozza, keyboardist Clifford Carter, Doug Yowell, Jonathan Maron, percussionist Manuel Quintana and returning vocalist Gabrielle Sterbenz will join Dupree. Tickets for the show, which begins at 8:45 p.m. (the doors open at 8 p.m.) on Friday, August 29 at the Bearsville Theater, located at 291 Tinker Street in Woodstock, cost $20.

Mudfest in Prattsville Mudfest is the Greene County community of Prattsville’s annual townwide bash that takes place on Friday and Saturday, August 22 and 23. Now in its third year, Mudfest got its start the year after Hurricane Irene decimated the town, raising the level of the Schoharie Creek, roaring it down Prattsville’s historic Main Street and damaging most of its old homes and businesses in the process. After a hard year of bootstrap rebuilding,people came together to show resilience in another way: with a big party. This year that trend continues with muddy tugs-of-wars, mud volleyball, muddy obstacle courses, a big mudcovered slip ‘n’ slide, a muddy wingfest and good old horseshoes. That’s not to mention the cutting-edge art that’s helping the community rebuild itself, live music, plenty of food and drink, a 5K run/ walk and fireworks on Friday night. – Paul Smart

MUSIC

Pick of the pickers Banjo phenom Tony Trischka at Rosendale Café

ack before newgrass was new, Tony Trischka was mastering the banjo and experimenting with ways to expand its bluegrass and oldtimey boundaries. If it weren’t for the lessons that he took on the side with Trischka whilst attending the High School of Music and Art, spacegrass pioneer Béla Fleck might still be playing the French horn. Known as an innovator, an educator and a champion of double-banjo pairings, Trischka has influenced many, collaborated with the cream of the bluegrass crop and otherwise compiled an impressive track record since joining his first band, the Down City Ramblers, in 1965. He cut his first record with Country Cooking in 1971, attained wider notice in Breakfast Special and headlined Skyline throughout the 1980s. He went on to find a special niche as creative consultant and bandleader for stage shows with bluegrass scores, including The Robber Bridegroom, Foxfire, Driving Miss Daisy and most recently, the 2012 New York Shakespeare Festival production of As You Like It. You can hear the guy whom The New York Times has dubbed the “godfather” of new acoustic music in an intimate local venue on Saturday evening, August 23, when Tony Trischka and his current band perform at the Rosendale Café. The show will focus on music from their recent Rounder release Great Big World, an eclectic, adventurous collection that’s heavy on Trischka originals. The show begins at 8 p.m., but to ensure that you get a seat, plan on coming early to enjoy some of the Café’s mostly vegetarian cuisine, since the place doesn’t take reservations. The price of admission is $20. The Rosendale Café is located at 434 Main Street (Route 213) in downtown Rosendale.

Carmela Altamura

“It has always been my nature to walk in uncharted territory,” says voice teacher Carmela Altamura. “Just like the salmon, I always go against the current.” This attitude helps explain Altamura’s quixotic decision to build a small theater in 2000 and run a festival of vocal music in Round Top, a small Greene County hamlet southwest of Cairo. The Altamura Center for the Arts and Cultures has had a good run, bringing together her voice students and Altamura/ Enrico Caruso International Voice Competition winners with a small-butenthusiastic audience in the Catskills. But the series comes to an end with performances on August 22, 23 and 30. The project began at Altamura’s yearround home in Hudson County, New Jersey. “I took mostly expatriates from the Communist world,” she told me. “My dream was to give a place to the winners of my international competition, where they could go and learn by encountering the great masters before they went on to the professional stage. I invited them to perform so they could have a résumé that smelled sweet. Some went on to La Scala, the Metropolitan Opera, the Chicago Lyric Opera and the Bolshoi. “Our competition eliminated the age limit for entrants. I discovered some great

aria Todaro-Otey performs around the world. With her husband Louis Otey she runs the Phoenicia International Festival of the Voice, which just concluded a remarkably successful fifth season. In her “spare” time she leads two local community choruses, which includes teaching people with no background or experience to sing. And now she comes to Maverick Concerts, joining the annual chamber orchestra concert on Saturday, August 23 at 6:30 p.m. to sing Manuel de Falla’s The Three-Cornered Hat. De Falla’s music, Todaro-Otey says, has “everything a mezzo likes to promote her voice. He wrote very well for the voice, and his folk accent allows a mezzo to use real flamenco sound. He uses all parts of my voice. He has colors in his ears.” Maverick’s music director Alexander Platt and Otey have known each other for a long time. “Alexander has always been supportive of the Festival,” Todaro-Otey says, “and we’ve been trying to find ways to collaborate. When we saw they were doing a celebration of Spain, we decided to celebrate together.” After the Maverick concert – which also includes music of Revueltas, Ginastera and a US premiere of Spanish songs by Simon Holt – Todaro-Otey and Otey will perform in a Byrdcliffe fundraiser on September 13. It’s their thanks to the Woodstock Byrdcliffe Guild for the use of the Kleinert/James Center for the Arts as a rehearsal space for the Woodstock Community Choir. Afterwards, the couple travels to Europe, where Otey will be singing at London’s Covent Garden and Todaro-Otey will be collaborating with a new agent looking especially for opportunities in Baroque music. Also at the Maverick this weekend, on Sunday, August 24 at 4 p.m., pianist Ilya Yakushev joins the Jupiter String Quartet in a program of works by Mozart, Strauss (his early Piano Quartet) and the glorious Brahms Piano Quintet. Yakushev also plays the notoriously difficult Busoni arrangement of Bach’s Chaconne.

voices which matured later and can now sing Verdi. Others wondered what the hell I was doing, but now everyone is imitating me. A young man may have to support a family, and his chances of getting a wellpaying opera job are small. But now he can enter my contest and win if his voice has the quality. Many of these winners have become marketable. We follow them for a year and then bring them to Round Top to get some experience. Unless you have experience, nobody will hire you.” Choosing Round Top may seem strange, but Altamura says, “I think this area has the most beauty in all of New York

State. And the culture is needed here, because few people can afford to go to the Metropolitan Opera. Now we have a following, and people feel enriched and express their gratitude. That was enough to energize me.” The last season of performances begins on Friday, August 22 at 8 p.m. Soprano Marcia Thompson, a winner of Altamura’s competition, will collaborate with pianist Simonetta Tancredi, who has worked as a conductor at La Scala and collaborated with Ricardo Muti. They will be performing vocal and piano works by the Peruvian composer Alejandro Núñez

Allauca, concluding with his Magnificat. There is no admission charge for this concert, “although we love contributions.” On Saturday, August 23 Altamura will host the “Immortal Scenes in Opera” program, with an orchestra conducted by Roger Malouf, a staff member of the Metropolitan Opera. Singers from seven countries will perform scenes from operas of Puccini, Verdi and others. Only a few tickets remain for this performance. On Sunday, August 30, two pianists will collaborate with some of the same singers in a program of vocal and piano works. Pianist Lorenzo Di Bella, 2007 First Prize winner at the Vladimir Horowitz Competition in Kiev, will play music of Rachmaninov. Pianist Christina Altamura, a Fulbright scholar, will play Chopin and Oscar Peterson. The singers will perform classical songs with piano. “It is sad that I have to leave this place,” says Altamura, “because I have such beautiful memories. But my husband, who is the major funder, is getting on in years. Just to turn the key costs $60,000. The county raised my taxes an incredible amount. And my senator back in Hudson County said the people here want you back and we have a theater you can use for nothing. “I don’t think people realize how lucky they are to live here in nature’s sanctuary of beauty and health. I brought a lot of business to local inns, but I didn’t get the cooperation I think this work deserves.” So Altamura will be staying in New Jersey from now on, but she is not giving up her work. Teaching remains her

FESTIVAL

Hoot in a holler Mike + Ruthy host cross- generational folkie lineup at Ashokan Center’s Summer Hoot

he ironic thing about folk and roots music is that, for all its association in the popular mind with progressive politics and social change, it is fundamentally conservative in nature – in the old meaning of the word, before it got hijacked by right-wing talk show hosts. Folk music is all about preserving cultural legacies and handing them on to the next generation. With the passing last January of Pete Seeger, one of the last and arguably the greatest of folkdom’s Old Guard, the generation behind him who came of age during the folk boom of the ’60s has to be thinking a lot these days about legacy issues in a more personal sense. Who will take up the NEW LOST CITY RAMBLERS FOUNDER, mantle when they too FILMMAKER & ETHNOMUSICOLOGIST are gone, to sustain John Cohen (who was also Pete Seeger’s an artform that rarely brother-in-law and the Uncle John who inspired comes around to being the Grateful Dead song “Uncle John’s Band”), trendy? will make a rare appearance. Fortunately, there’s a whole crop coming up now of offspring of folk, folk/rock and acoustic singer/songwriter royalty who inherited their parents’ or grandparents’ talent. Rather than rebelling against the traditions in which they were brought up, they have mostly made them their own, often with edgy indie-folk twists that make the songs and styles more engaging to their younger peers. The list of second- or third-generation folkie scions currently making their marks is long: Adam Cohen, Eliza Carthy, Jakob Dylan, Sarah Lee Guthrie, Amy Helm, Jenni Muldaur, Lucy Wainwright Roche, Tao Rodriguez-Seeger, Harper Simon, Ben and Sally Taylor, Teddy, Kamila and Jack Thompson, Martha and Rufus Wainwright… While neither her mother, singer/songwriter/guitarist/luthier Lyn Hardy, nor her father, fiddler/singer/songwriter Jay Ungar, seems poised to retire from the music business anytime soon, Ruthy Ungar is clearly taking the legacy thing seriously. She and her husband/performing partner Mike Merenda are by all accounts the driving force behind the summer and winter music festivals at the Ashokan Center known as Hoots. The first Summer Hoot a year ago included one of Pete Seeger’s last public performances, and this year’s edition – running this weekend, August 22 to 24 at the 374-acre Olivebridge campus – is dedicated to Pete’s memory. These semiannual music festivals were conceived as benefits for the Ashokan Center’s environmental education and natural history programs; but in the communitarian Seeger spirit, their hosts are committed to balancing fundraising with affordability: “There was not a dry eye in the audience for Pete’s set last year,” recalls Merenda. “After he played, Pete asked us if we planned to keep ticket prices affordable as the Hoot grew larger. We are proud to say yes. We believe in making the Hoot as accessible and open to all, and treating the crowd to an abundance of some of the best music on Earth.” That last phrase is not outrageous hyperbole. Besides Mike + Ruthy and Ashokan Center Board president and vice president Jay Ungar and Molly Mason, this weekend’s musical lineup includes some stellar names, including the great fingerpicker/ bluesman David Bromberg, for whom Jay has done considerable time as a sideman over the years. Another old colleague, New Lost City Ramblers founder, filmmaker and ethnomusicologist John Cohen (who was also Pete Seeger’s brother-in-law and the Uncle John who inspired the Grateful Dead song “Uncle John’s Band”), will make a rare appearance. Although he’ll be bringing his current bluegrass trio, the Down Hill Strugglers, what’s especially exciting to diehard Hudson Valley folkies is that Cohen’s presence enables a reunion of the terrific old-timey ensemble that he was in with Jay Ungar, Lyn Hardy and cellist Abby Newton in the early 1970s: the Putnam String County Band. Up-and-coming younger indie-folk headliners include Amy Helm’s newest

major interest. “I try to use discipline, but not break their spirit. I let them know the truth. I make them compete with themselves, because ultimately they are celebrating their own gifts and should never compete with others.” She is also planning to write a book with reminiscences of the many famous opera singers whom she has encountered. Perhaps by the time it is finished, some of her own students will be included. – Leslie Gerber Altamura Music Festival, Friday, August 22, 8 p.m., free, Saturday, August 23, 8 p.m., $35/$30, Saturday, August 30, 3 p.m., $35/$30, Altamura Center for the Arts & Cultures, 404 Winter Clove Road, Round Top, (518) 622-0070, www. altocanto.org.

Basilica Hudson will hold an opening reception for â&#x20AC;&#x153;BUMP: An Interactive Whale Exhibitâ&#x20AC;? on Saturday, August 23 from 5 to 7 p.m. The artists will be present for a question-and-answer session and discussion. The exhibit will close on Monday, September 1, with a closing party prior on Friday, August 29 at 9 p.m. with sounds by Black Sea Hotel, Charlie Looker and Patrick Higgins. The doors open at 8 p.m. Tickets cost $10 at the door. BUMP was created by brothers Frank and Dan DenDanto. The installation includes bones from three different whales, suspended at eye level in Basilicaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Main Hall and accessible for hands-on touching, setting them in motion and causing shadows to dance around the space. The DenDantos work in tandem: Dan is a cetacean biologist and Frank designs theaters and light systems. They have collaborated for some years on whale skeleton articulations for numerous museums, but BUMP is their first exhibit that was centered around an educational and interactive fine art approach, rather than a traditional scientific assembly. BUMP is made possible by Allied Whale, the College of the Atlanticâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s marine mammal research group, which has loaned the bones for the exhibit, and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.

Two days later, on Sunday afternoon, writers in monthlong residencies at Byrdcliffe come down to town to read at the Golden Notebook bookstore on Tinker Street.

Did you know?

Stories of the notoriously elusive Bigfoot have existed for centuries among Native tribes of the Pacific Northwest, but it wasn’t until the 20th century that the creature gained wider recognition under the name “Sasquatch,” an Anglicized version of a Halkomelem word meaning “hairy man.”

Hairy tales

Bigfoot Researchers of the Hudson Valley host public meeting in Red Hook

magine that you’re walking in the woods when suddenly you’re overcome by a skunky, sewery smell. Could it be your companion? Or could it be…Bigfoot? The legendary creature might not be your first suspect, but some local residents and Sasquatch enthusiasts insist that it’s a possibility, even a likelihood. “If you smell that, I guarantee you’ve got one close to you,” says Connie Imming, an active member of the Bigfoot Researchers of the Hudson Valley (BRHV). The group was founded by Red Hook resident Gayle Beatty in 2011 and has hosted four free, open-tothe-public meetings since last year. Its next one will be at the Enchanted Café in Red Hook on Saturday, August 30 at 7 p.m. Bigfoot (also known as Sasquatch) is a folkloric species of large, bipedal, apelike creatures with – you guessed it – huge feet. Stories of the notoriously elusive beast have existed for centuries among various Native tribes of the Pacific Northwest, but it wasn’t until the 20th century that the creature gained wider recognition under the name “Sasquatch,” an Anglicized version of a Halkomelem word meaning “hairy man.” COURTESY OF BIGFOOT RESEARCHERS OF THE HUDSON VALLEY The Northwest isn’t the only region to experience Bigfoot activity.

Imming discovered BRHV online when she was still living in Florida. She moved to the Hudson Valley in February 2014, largely because of the Bigfoot community. And it is a community. While some doubters might assume that it’s an eccentric few who believe in Sasquatch, BRHV’s Facebook page has garnered more than 600 likes. The first informational meeting of the BRHV packed the Enchanted Café and included more than 30 people. The last meeting at the Red Hook Town Hall attracted approximately 70 people, according to Beatty. The next meeting will be held at the Enchanted Café; so get there early if you want a seat. As the community expands, Beatty hopes that the BRHV can raise awareness about the Sasquatch in order to keep the creatures and their habitat safe. She explains that they’re curious, social creatures, and while they like to cause a scene when people trespass on their territory, they’re generally nonviolent. “We’re passionate to protect,” says Imming. “They’re so human.” Throwing more stones than even an irritable Sasquatch are the skeptics, however. As certainly as there are believers, there are adamant disbelievers who are eager to question Beatty about the significance of her findings. “It’s not my place to convince anyone,” Beatty says. “I’m just reporting what I’m finding.” One customer at her bait shop, Hook Line & Sinker in Red Hook, teased her to the point that she offered him the rare privilege of coming to the top-secret habitation site. He showed up to the group’s town meeting, but declined the special invitation. While the meetings are one way to get acquainted with local Sasquatch lore, skeptics and believers will likely agree that the only way to know for sure is to see it for yourself. For that, Beatty says, take to the woods. “Start at a water source. They need water, shelter – like people.” But if you go looking for hairy beasts, remember: Bring a friend. You can bet that Sasquatch will. – Fiona Steacy Bigfoot Researchers of the Hudson Valley (BRHV) public meeting, Saturday, Aug. 30, 7 p.m., free, Enchanted Café, 7484 S.

run at least an hour-and-a-half in length, movies about food usually turn out to be at least as much about something else: romance, sex, mortality, family, class, crime. That is certainly the case with Lasse Hallström’s latest outing, The HundredFoot Journey. Like his 2000 film Chocolat, it’s a gentle fable about social intolerance set in a small French town that’s set in its ways. Instead of the introduction of decadent sweets during Lent, the literal and metaphorical agent for change in the new film is spicy Indian cuisine. And instead of rigid Catholicism, the villainous force in The Hundred-Foot Journey is something a bit more timely in 21st-century Europe: prejudice against brown-complected immigrants. We first meet the Kadam clan when the handsome protagonist Hassan is a young boy, learning the not-so-subtle mysteries of Indian cooking in the family restaurant from his mother. But a riot following a local election results in the burning of the building and Mama Kadam’s death. So Papa (Om Puri) decides to leave Mumbai

and set up shop somewhere in Europe. After a false start in England, whose rainy climate proves inhospitable to the outdoor kitchens that they favor, Papa Kadam piles his family into a rickety station wagon and starts wandering the continent seeking a new home, guided only by whispered conversations with the spirit of Mama. The vehicle breaks down on the outskirts of a picturesque subalpine village in the south of France, and the family is rescued by Marguerite (C harlotte L e Bon), a sous chef in the town’s only restaurant, Le Saule Pleurer. Under the imperious control of embittered widow Madame Mallory (Helen Mirren), that establishment is the proud recipient of a single Michelin star and serves only traditional French haute cuisine. When Papa Kadam decides that fate and his wife’s ghost have decreed that he must turn the ruin of another restaurant directly across the street into a palace of Subcontinental cooking called Maison Mumbai, and her patrons are suddenly confronted with loud music, bright colors and spicy odors, Madame Mallory determines to put them out of business at once. Though her broad, on-again, off-again Gallic accent is a bit distracting, Mirren is always a joy to watch, and her schemes

Grave matters A Will for the Woods at Upstate Films addresses green burial options

ver go for a drive through central Queens or along Long Island’s Southern State Parkway and feel amazed that so many square miles of real estate are dedicated to rows of headstones? Not only does that seem like a waste of valuable land in a densely populated part of the country, but between the embalming fluid in the corpses and the glue holding together the chipboard or particleboard of which many caskets are made, there’s also an awful lot of formaldehyde – a suspected carcinogen, possible cause of ALS and neurotoxin – going into that ground. If you’re among those who think that this is a high price to pay for the privilege of decomposing slowly, you have several alternative options open to you. Many opt for cremation nowadays, but that requires the burning of enough fossil fuel to achieve very high temperatures. And plenty of people still value a permanent gravesite as a destination for quiet contemplation and communing with the deceased loved one. For them, there’s now a middle ground, thanks to the efforts of activists in the “green burial” movement. The Green Burial Council is working to encourage sustainability in the interment industry, and the Trust for Natural Legacies is working to establish cemetery nature preserves. But state health departments have been slow to amend their regulations regarding the disposal of human remains, and you can’t just bury unembalmed, organic-cottonshrouded Uncle Fred any old place you please. There are only about 40 designated

There are only about 40 designated green burial sites across America, and the Rhinebeck Cemetery is the second in New York State.

to thwart the Kadams by such means as spying on their menus and buying up every speck of the necessary ingredients in the local greenmarket give the veteran actress an unusual chance to flex a bit of bad-guy muscle. The culinary war that escalates between her and the affable Papa is delivered with an amusing tone, until one of her chefs with connections among the town’s most right-wing, antiimmigrant residents takes things too far. An ugly incident forces Madame Mallory to do a bit of soul-searching, and Hassan (Manish Dayal) – the prodigy chef of the Kadam clan, whose most precious possession is a treasure chest of Indian spices left him by his mother – to make some hard decisions about his career path that will take a toll on both his family and his budding romance with Marguerite. The four lead actors in The HundredFoot Journey all deliver performances fine enough to warrant the price of your ticket, even if the material is a bit on the fluffy side. Puri’s Papa is a charming old conniver, and his scenes with Mirren crackle. Dayal and Le Bon also have great chemistry, but the sprightly young Canadian actress really gets to show her technique in a scene where Marguerite’s flirtation with Hassan suddenly turns to rivalry and poorly disguised resentment. An adorable gamine with an edge as steely as one of her kitchen knives, she’s a discovery worth following as meatier future roles inevitably come her way. Hallström has no qualms about piling on the dog-eared cinematic clichés (yes, there’s even a cut from a romantic clinch to bursting fireworks), but they’re delivered with a deft touch, a tongue firmly in cheek and a knowing wink. The screenplay by Steven Knight, based on Richard C. Morais’ novel, isn’t stellar, but a fabulous

Indian pop music soundtrack by A. R. Rahman and superb cinematography by Linus Sandgren compensate for the occasionally sodden, food-aphorismladen dialogue. Two sequences – a very long tracking shot of the renovation of the old restaurant and a tense, hilarious scene of angry food-chopping in the two competing kitchens that gives new meaning to the term “cross-cut editing” – are so visually brilliant that they effectively deflated any complaints that I might have had about the writing. If you know the previous work of Lasse Hallström (My Life as a Dog, What’s Eating Gilbert Grape, The Cider House Rules, The Shipping News, Salmon Fishing in the Yemen), you know what you’re getting into here: no intellectual

green burial sites across America, and the Rhinebeck Cemetery is the second of its ilk in New York State. Nice to know that we Hudson Valley residents now have the option. If this topic piques your interest at all, you’ll want to catch the screening on Sunday afternoon at Upstate Films Rhinebeck of A Will for the Woods, a new documentary about the green burial movement that focuses on one man’s decision to have a low-impact interment. Musician, folk dancer and psychiatrist Clark Wang battles lymphoma while facing a potentially imminent need for funeral plans. Determined that his last act will not harm the environment and may even help protect it, Wang discovers the movement to further sustainable funerals and helps move a local cemetarian to establish the first natural burial ground in North Carolina. Filmmakers Jeremy Kaplan, Amy Browne, Tony Hale and Brian Wilson will be on hand for a live discussion following the 12:30 p.m. screening. Joining them for questions will be Suzanne Kelly, chair of the Rhinebeck Cemetery Committee and co-founder of Friends of Rhinebeck Cemetery. General admission to most movies at Upstate Films costs $10, $6 for members. For more information about arranging a green burial in Rhinebeck, you can contact Suzanne Kelly at (845) 876-6436 or (914) 489-3668.

puzzles or gut-wrenching tragedy, but a bubbly romance in a fairytale village – as much travel porn as food porn – with fun, quirky characters and conflicts that are resolvable. It’s a deliberately feel-good film whose social message never veers too far into dark alleys or preachy podiums. But you’ll walk out of the cinema feeling like, given the right combination of spices, there’s still some ray of hope for diverse humanity to learn to get along. – Frances Marion Platt To read Frances Marion Platt’s previous movie reviews & other film-related pieces, visit our Almanac Weekly website at HudsonValleyAlmanacWeekly.com and click on the “film” tab.

â&#x20AC;&#x2122;m interested in finding the universal in the particular,â&#x20AC;? says Patrick Wadden, cofounder of Saugerties-based Arm-of-the-Sea Theater. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For many years, a lot of our shows were very symbolic, abstract kind of things; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s led to a phase now of being more specific.â&#x20AC;? Under the artistic direction of Wadden and co-founder Marlena Marallo, the performance ensemble creates contemporary works of mask and puppet theater in a style that they call â&#x20AC;&#x153;magical realism,â&#x20AC;? fusing live music with the visual arts and performance to tell larger-thanlife stories drawn from history, literature, environmental themes and current events. Arm-of-the-Sea Theater will present its annual outdoor performance spectacle, the Esopus Creek Puppet Suite, on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, August 23, 24Â and 25 at 8 p.m. at Tina Chorvas Waterfront Park on East Bridge Street in Saugerties. Admission costs $10 for adults and $5 for children, or $25 for a family of four. Tickets are available at the park entrance each evening of the event. Audience members are encouraged to arrive early and to bring lawn seating. The first Puppet Suite was performed in Saugerties in 2001, making return

Inspired by events in local history, the story will be based on the early 20th century, with scenes about the local paper mills; area residents sur viving the Great Depression; the arrival of Augusta Savage, a Harlem Renaissance artist who lived the last 20 years of her life in Saugerties; and the rise and fall of the Saugerties Steamboat Line, which used to make nightly runs from New York City, says Wadden, leaving there at 6 p.m. and arriving in Saugerties in the early morning hours.

August 21, 2014 involved through word-of-mouth or the organization’s website, where there’s a page called “Participate.” A number of the masks and puppet characters are created in public workshops and at in-school residencies, and community volunteers of all ages are sought for assistance with publicity, tech and site work for the Puppet Suite, as well as mask and puppet performers. Many of Arm-of-the-Sea’s papier-mâché creations were ruined by Hurricane Sandy’s storm surge in 2012, which flooded the group’s studio space and two storage buildings. More than 25 boxes of props and equipment were affected. Wadden

says that they’ve managed to restore a number of the shows, however; and while there’s more work to do, they’re in the process of building a new storage space above the reach of floodwaters. That’s expected to happen by fall, he says. Less certain is when the nonprofit company will have its own performance space: a future project planned for a site along the Esopus Creek adjacent to its current studios at Cantine’s Island. The project is “not yet underway,” says Wadden, with acquisition of the land the first step. The Hudson River Sloop Clearwater was given the property in 1999 to build a winter homeport for

its historic sailing vessel; but now that other accommodations have been made for the Clearwater in Kingston, Arm-ofthe-Sea Theater hopes to adapt the site in Saugerties for performances, as well as for community arts and environmental education programs. “It’s in process, but the whole project is moving at glacial speed,” says Wadden. “But it is moving nonetheless, and we’re guardedly optimistic that things will start happening with that next spring. We have a space now where we’ve been operating for about 20 years, but it’s not a place where we can have public events. We wouldn’t move all of our operations

over, but with this site, we would be able to have public programming and events.” At this time, the 1.5-acre property is overgrown and neglected, with the remnants of an 1827 paper mill on it. “The property is literally in ruins,” Wadden says, “so there’s a huge amount of initial work before getting it to a place where we can figure out what we should do with it.” – Sharyn Flanagan Esopus Creek Puppet Suite, SaturdayMonday, August 23-25, 8 p.m., $5-$10, Tina Chorvas Waterfront Park, East Bridge Street, Saugerties; (845) 2467873, www.armofthesea.org.

THIS MEETING OF THE NORTH AMERICAN FRUIT EXPLORERS brought together everyone from backyard growers with a few fruit plants to an 88-year-old guy who grows more than 3,000 varieties of apples.

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

Fruit nut cluster

A harvest of new inspiration from the NAFEX annual meeting

re there organizations for people who make and eat cheese, build and ride motorcycles, write and read books, grow and savor fruits? All I know is that the answer to the existence of the last-named organization is a rousing “Yes!” I know because I recently returned from Oregon, where I converged with other fruit nuts for the annual meeting of North American Fruit Explorers (www.nafex.org) – and nuts, incidentally, are also covered under the organization’s umbrella. No need to don a pith helmet and traipse off to Borneo to be a fruit explorer (not

that you couldn’t and be one). No, this fun meeting brought together everyone from backyard growers with a few fruit plants to an 88-year-old guy who grows more than 3,000 varieties of apples. Fruits represented ranged from apples and pears to pawpaws and persimmons and, even more rare, haskaps and gumis. These people, we, realize that there’s a lot more to enjoy in the world of nature’s desserts – fruits, that is – than what you see on display in the supermarket, even the farmers’ market. What appeared to be a roomful of normal people was actually a roomful of fruit nuts, among which I count

Members can share their trials, tribulations and rewards of fruitgrowing (the title of my lecture there), ask questions and exchange plants in their quarterly publication.

Agriculture germplasm repository, which houses the USDA collection of pears, gooseberries, currants and bramble fruits, and of research centers on hazelnuts and brambles – all accompanied, of course, by tastings. If you love fruit, grow some…and join NAFEX. I branched off (pardon the pun) from the group to visit a few nurseries. First stop was Whitman Farms (www.whitmanfarms.com), at which I made a beeline to Lucille Whitman’s black mulberry (Morus nigra) tree, an offshoot of which I’ve grown for many years. I grow it in a pot because it’s a subtropical species, not cold-hardy here. It’s worth the effort because it is among the most delectable of fruits. It’s hard to imagine that such a small berry can pack such a wallop of rich sweet/tart flavor – much better than the wild mulberries around here. Lucille also grows a slew of gooseberry and currant varieties: another group of fruits that is worthy of wider attention. From there it was on to Burnt Ridge Nursery (www.burntridgenursery.com), worth visiting also for its panoramic view of the Cascade Mountains, including Mount Saint Helens. I soon realized, driving down the gravel nursery road, that we were passing through a virtual Garden of Eatin’, with apples and pear trees, grapes and hardy kiwi vines. The forest of large trees turned out to be a nursery owner Michael Dolan’s extensive collection of chestnuts. It was too early in the season to taste any chestnuts, but I did get to taste his Black Pakistani mulberry, which had a chewy texture and perhaps even richer flavor than black mulberry. (Black Pakistani is a variety of M. alba, white mulberry.) Another plus for Black Pakistani is that its fruit is two or more inches long. Lucille Whitman also sells Black Pakistani. (Note to myself: Get a Black Pakistani tree to grow in a pot, like a fig.) Finally, I motored along with Sam Benowitz north to Washington State, to his nursery, Raintree Nursery (www. raintreenursery.com). We were greeted at the nursery entrance by espaliered apple trees, then plum trees whose branches bowed low from their load of fruit. A Centennial crabapple tree splayed out its small-but-ripe fruits, which were delicious, especially for a summer apple. Another note to myself: Purchase or make a Centennial crabapple. Pots of lingonberries were lush with their shiny evergreen leaves, the size of mouse ears; persimmon leaves hung languidly from the trees’ branches; and hardy kiwifruit brightened up the scene with

NIGHT SKY

Summer’s best weekend Worth looking up

ime for easy astronomy – loveliness that soothes the soul but require no charts, no knowledge. It’s right now, the next clear night. The Moon is absent. Skies are dark and starry. All you need is a clear, open spot away from the lights of town: any meadow, cemetery, lakeside, hilltop. Figure between 9 and 10 p.m. First look straight up. A single bright star hovers at the zenith. That’s Vega (say VEE-ga) Most of the galaxy’s stars are nameless. Only one ten-thousandth of one percent have been identified. These mostly possess license-platelike designations such as HDE226464. A mere hundred bear actual names still in use, like Zubenelgenubi or Rasalhague. A mere handful are brilliant and have well-known names. Of those, just one floats directly overhead at this time of year. So Vega – which boasts the shortest star name of all – is a cinch to identify. Vega was pronounced “wega” until the 19th century, and is spelled that way in some old astronomy books. It derives from the Arabic, meaning a falling eagle. It was also an eagle to the ancient Indians, and a vulture to the Egyptians: always a bird. Shining at a steady magnitude zero, Vega served as the “standard candle” used by the worldwide astronomical community to calibrate the brightness of everything else in the universe. Like the French bar of platinum once used to define the meter, Vega was the sky’s reference point for the magnitude system. It’s an ideal choice, because it displays no flickering or variability, despite years of controversy about this. Moreover, it’s a single star like the Sun, instead of a binary like so many others. Vega spins crazily in 12 hours, compared to a month for our own Sun, despite being three times larger. If it rotated just 18 percent faster it would break apart. Moreover, its pole of rotation is pointed straight toward us, give or take a few degrees. This means that any Vegans looking skyward would see our Sun as its North Star! Twelve thousand years from now, we’ll return the favor. Vega periodically becomes our own polestar as Earth’s axis wobbles through its 26-millennium precession. Vega was the very first star to be photographed. This feat was attained at the exact

Fruit nuts are a friendly fraternity, ready to share experiences and fruit. Blueberries are among my favorite fruits, and my newfound Northwestern friends were anxious to introduce me to some Western blueberry species. First was red huckleberry (V. parvifolium). Not to be an ingrate, but…yuk! A very small, very tart red blueberry. Perhaps the red color threw me off. Next came evergreen huckleberry (V. ovatum): much tastier, and evergreen, but still not holding a candle to our Eastern blueberry species. Finally, though, I had a taste of mountain huckleberry (V. membranaceum): delicious. Different, but as good as our East Coast species. I was given some leafy stems of mountain huckleberry, packed for travel with their bases in water tubes and their leaves wrapped in moist tissue. As soon as I got home, I stripped all but the upper two leaves from the stems and inserted their bases into the mix of moist peat and perlite in my makeshift propagator. The propagator sits on the north side of my house, its clear plastic cover maintaining sufficient humidity while letting in sufficient light until the cuttings root – I hope. Blueberry species are not particularly easy to root, although one of the main ingredients needed is patience. I’ll also sow seeds of the few fruits that I brought home. In a few years, my memories of last week’s journey may also live on in my tastebuds. – Lee Reich

midpoint of the 19th century. As if this weren’t enough to keep us interested, Vega marks the approximate direction toward which we travel in space. As our entire starry neighborhood participates in the galaxy’s grand rotation, we do a little nine-mile-persecond sideslip in Vega’s direction. It’s heading our way. Now that your eyes have gotten dark-adapted by staring straight up at Vega, you’ll see the Milky Way splaying across the entire sky. This is when it’s best-positioned. Far from artificial lights, it’s gorgeous. It’s one of the reasons I take a group to Chile each year: for skies like these, and the wonders that they contain. (See http://specialinteresttours. net.) Now follow the Milky Way south. Here, about a third of the way up the southern horizon, is the galaxy’s center, which is straight overhead from Chile. This is the spot around which we – and all the other stars of the night sky – revolve every 240 million years: the pivot point. The center of all sensible motion. Also lowish in the south, to the right of the Milky Way, you’ll see the bright orange star Antares marking the heart of Scorpius. If you have a truly unobstructed southern view, you can go left from Antares to trace out the entire scorpion and see why, along with Orion, it’s the finest of the 88 constellations. Far to Antares’ right are two bright stars, one above the other: The lower is orange Mars, the other is Saturn. Vega, the Milky Way, Antares, Scorpius, Mars and Saturn: all easy to find – and so lovely, during this optimum stargazing week of summer. – Bob Berman

Mozart’s mysterious sister & more Expanded Kingston Festival of the Arts, August 21-31

aritone Kerry Henderson co-founded the successful Phoenicia International Festival of the Arts with Maria Todaro and Louis Otey in 2010, and he has since turned his attention to Kingston. Last August, Henderson and Gloria Waslyn launched the Kingston Festival of the Arts: a one-day affair with a program of music, dance, culinary and visual arts events scheduled all over the city. This year, with unbounded optimism and ambition, Henderson has expanded the festival to 11 days, from August 21 to 31. He will also be launching his new Opera Theater of Kingston on opening night. Most of this year’s performances are centered in the Stockade District. The prime venues are the Old Dutch Reformed Church and the Uptown Gallery, the storefront art gallery that Henderson and Waslyn opened last year on Wall Street. While there will be plenty to please classical musical-lovers, Henderson has expanded the concept of “chamber” to

include a performance of a jazz piece still in development, a band whose prime instrument is a ten-foot hurdy-gurdy and several crossover performances, including interpretations of pop and jazz classics by a classically trained quintet. There will also be Mayan-inspired dance, dramatically staged in the Andy Murphy Neighborhood Center; an all-day, handson children’s arts fest at Forsyth Park; an orchestral event aimed at toddlers; folk music in the Pete Seeger-inspired Voices for Water concert held on the waterfront; and discounts at many of the city’s restaurants, cafés and taverns. The festival kicks off at the Old Dutch Reformed Church on Thursday, August 21 at 7:30 p.m. with “A Night at the Opera,” featuring Henderson; Eugenia Zukerman, the international flautist and classical music television personality; soprano Alison Davy; tenor Monte Stone, creator of the Ring Disc: An Interactive Guide to Wagner’s Ring Cycle (the acclaimed CD-ROM compilation of the complete Ring cycle with scholarly commentary); conductor and pianist Louis Menendez; and pianist Peggy Reich. They’ll be performing highlights from Pergolesi’s

hilarious opera buffa La Serva Padrona, excerpts from Zuckerman’s recording of opera favorites for flute and piano, Wotan’s Farewell from Wagner’s Die Walküre and gems from the Broadway playbook. The event will be introduced by Kingston mayor Shayne Gallo and wind up with a champagne toast at the Uptown Gallery, with a performance by jazz singer Liza Doolittle. It also marks the debut of Henderson’s new chamber opera company, the Opera Theater of Kingston. Based in Kingston, the company plans to present its first opera, The Marriage of Figaro, at Dietz Stadium in 2015. One of the highlights of this year’s festival is The Other Mozart, a one-woman show about Wolfgang’s sister Nannerl, conceived, written and performed by Sylvia Milo. Like her younger brother, Nannerl was a child prodigy, keyboard virtuoso and composer who performed throughout Europe. While her compositions have been lost to history, bits and pieces of her extraordinary career are revealed in letters, which served as the source material for Milo’s production. While Milo is off touring the show in Europe this summer, understudy Sara Florence Fellini – herself an accomplished performer and writer – will play the role of Nannerl in virtually the same production in six performances at the Uptown Gallery. With her enormous coiffure, balletic movements, opulent clothing and clouds of dusting powder, Fellini exudes elegance and beauty, even as she is literally trapped in her costume: an 18-foot-long dress, which functions as the set and as an emblem of the societal strictures of her time. The piece features music composed by Mozart and Marianna Martines, a composer who inspired Nannerl, along with original music by Nathan Davis and Phyllis Chen of Lincoln Center’s Mostly

Mozart Festival. Clavichords, music boxes, bells, teacups and fans serve as the musical accompaniment. It will be performed on August 22, 23, 24, 29, 30 and 31. Other classical music performances are a song recital by mezzo-soprano Anita Shamnasky, titled “Eternal Love,” at the Uptown Gallery on the evening of August 27; the “Riot with Three” chamber ensemble (soprano Alison Davy, classical saxophonist Javier Oviedo, pianist Gene Rohrer) on August 28, also at the Uptown Gallery, in which the trio explore the theme of ones, twos and threes through the music of Ralph Vaughan Williams, Lee Hoiby, Joelle Wallach, Francis Poulenc and other composers; and a performance at the Old Dutch Church on August 30 with Zuckerman, pianist Babette Hierholzer and violinist Helena Bailey playing a program of chamber music in styles ranging from Baroque to bossa nova. Henderson said that presenting grassroots, small-scale productions such as what he is organizing for the City of Kingston helps keep classical music alive and accessible in a time when megacompanies, with their mega-productions, are struggling. By enabling artists to retain control, such intimate performances allow for more risk-taking, ensuring an exciting experience for audiences. Among the more experimental offerings is One’s-self I Sing, a new chamber work by contemporary composer Steve Lebetkin with sections inspired by the poems of Walt Whitman, Pablo Neruda and Alexander Pope. It will be performed on August 23 with soprano Kimberly Kahan and pianist Peggy Reich; they’ll be accompanied by a wind quintet recorded in Prague. Formerly an accountant who gave up his practice to devote himself to composing, his true passion, Lebetkin will host a question-and-answer session after

At 7 p.m. on August 25 at the Uptown Gallery, indie classical chamber ensemble Madera Vox invites the public to sit in on its rehearsal of a newly commissioned work by acclaimed jazz pianist and composer Sumi Tonooka, who will also be present. The classically trained Hudson Valleybased quintet – who are Keve Wilson, Cornelia McGiver, Sylvia Buccelli, David Gluck and Kelly Ellenwood – reinterpret Nirvana, the Doors, Chick Corea, Kurt Weill and other wide-ranging music, as well as perform their own genre-bending compositions. Admission to the rehearsal is free. Last year’s crowd-pleaser was Dzul Dance, and this year the Mayan-inspired international dance company is back, with two performances on August 29 and 30, plus a free preview performance on August 23. Suspended from wires hung from the ceiling of the Andy Murphy Neighborhood Center, the dancers will perform a piece called Pixom, combining circus arts with indigenous traditions from Central America. Artistic director Javier Dzul grew up in the jungles of southern Mexico, performing Mayan ritual dance as a child and teenager, before becoming a principal dancer with two ballet companies in Mexico; he also studied ballet in Cuba before coming to New York on a scholarship to study with the Martha Graham School of Contemporary Dance.

Refurbished Mid-Hudson Children’s Museum adds new exhibits & activities

f your family includes anyone from baby to six years old, and it has been a while since you’ve had a visit to the Mid-Hudson Children’s Museum, your crew has some new elements to enjoy, including the latest feature, the WonderDome. Located on the second floor, you may remember the WonderDome as the structure that housed the live aquarium of Hudson River fish and the robot toy fishing arm. Now the feature is much more interactive, including the sensory-rich Reactor Cube, which is like my dream Lite-Brite. It’s a large four-sided form with lighted perforated walls for creating designs by inserting finger-sized colored rods. Other walls in the dome include a vertical magnetic bead maze, a Light Waterfall consisting of long hanging plastic LED color-changing strands and a special recessed area for building with plastic translucent-centered wooden blocks. The cool robot arm has been repurposed as a Glo-Bot that picks up colorful tennis balls under black light, but it wasn’t working when my daughter and I tried to use it. Regulars will recall the classic Gravity Roll, the curvy, loopy, addictive ballcarrying wire track initiated by a crankpowered, mesmerizing upward spiral. The ball inevitably falls off – which the museum calls “trial and error” – as children experiment with differently sized and weighted balls in their attempts for a successful run. I haven’t been able to complete the course fully in about eight years, ever since the original ball changed; but it’s still fun to reposition it after it jumps out and see how long it continues to go. Other familiars, such as the mastodon model, the water cycle tunnel and slide, the radio station booth and the downstairs neighborhood rooms,

MID-HUDSON CHILDREN’S MUSEUM

Visitor at the new WonderDome at the Mid-Hudson Children’s Museum are available for playing and learning, just as you remember them. The green screen, historical Samuel Morse, Declaration of Independence and local Revolutionary War hero Sybil Ludington’s mechanical horse-riding exhibits have all been replaced by handson and engaging Fun 2, 3, 4! play and learning elements. Measure the Dino and Double the Doggie can spark terrific conversations with littles about measuring size. My daughter was especially impressed with the Double Your Allowance table, which asks the user to guess the greater total over 12 weeks between earning one dollar consistently per week or beginning with one cent and doubling the amount each week. In addition to the totals printed on the liftable canisters, pennies illustrate the weekly sum on that side, providing a powerful visual (and weight!) to the math process. The visuals were also strong in the How Many in a Million case, which includes progressive gears that indicate the number of turns required to work up to one million rotations, a copy to peruse of the book A Million Dots and my favorite, a spinnable cylinder filled with one million tiny beads, accompanied by a sign listing quantities and colors of the contents, all the way down to one single black bead. Weigh Out brilliantly explains away another challenging concept with which

we are all saddled at some point during our parenting, especially during the earlymorning breakfast hours as Junior reads on a cereal box: “Product is sold by weight, not by volume.” No problem! Weigh Out invites the user to order identicalappearing wooden cylinders from lightest to heaviest, with an easy color-coded selfcheck at the end of the exercise. I like the interactive audio support of Fabulous Features, so that it doesn’t require reading to benefit fully from the purpose of the station, which poses a series of questions and two possible choices about the participant’s physical attributes (cleft chin, widow’s peak, gender, attached earlobe, tongue-curling and thumb back-bending), ending with a summary statistic about how that person’s features compare to others. Downstairs, the gift shop has been replaced with Caroline’s Baby Room, a safe, walled-in area for the youngest visitors to the museum. And I was thrilled to see the front floor area overrun with a cool giant foam building set that could be constructed to build a massive ball course (like an oversized marble run), with a nearby bucket of blue plastic balls to roll through the completed structure. The parents I spoke with during our visit marveled about how much their young children love the museum, practically having to drag them out at closing time, even after hours spent there for day camp earlier this summer. And I haven’t even gotten to the outside! Plan to spend some time here during your visit. Remember the Upper Landing Park

festival that I mentioned recently? You really have to check this place out! That entire north-side neighboring space to the museum is absolutely gorgeous now, with brick walkways and picnic tables. You won’t believe the transformation! It’s also where the entrance to the Walkway elevator is located. The museum parking lot borders the Hudson, which makes for a nice walk as well as a pleasant picnic area. Sometimes you can watch skateboarders zoom up and down the ramps in the fenced skate park next door. The museum parking lot is gated, requiring exiting vehicles to produce a paid barcode receipt: free for museum visitors who get their ticket validated at the front desk, otherwise payable at the parking kiosk. Before you go, remember to check your local library for free museum passes that it might have for families to check out. Otherwise, admission to the Mid-Hudson Children’s Museum costs $8 for anyone over one year of age. If you plan to return even just a few times, consider purchasing a Family Membership for $85 – good for two adults and all children in one household – or some of the other premium memberships with additional perks or reciprocity with other institutions. Through Labor Day, all active military personnel and their families receive free admission with ID. The Mid-Hudson Children’s Museum is located at 75 North Water Street in Poughkeepsie.

Toddlers on the Trail at Mohonk Preserve Round up your littles for the Mohonk Preserve’s Toddlers on the Trail. Do it for the chance to walk in nature; do it to familiarize yourself with a local trail to which you can return again and again; do it to make a friend; or do it to sound more interesting when someone asks what you did this weekend. Just go! Group hikes are great for introverts, because you can just focus on your child while walking with the group. Group hikes are terrific for extroverts, because there’s so much to explore and discover, and at some point, someone will be willing to process with you about it. Toddlers on the Trail takes place this Friday, August 22 from 10 a.m. to 12 noon and consists of a 1.5-mile hike exploring fields and the Lenape Longhouse replica at Spring Farm. This event is intended for walking children ages 2 to 6 years, and is not appropriate for strollers or pets. Want more? Then come back to Spring Farm two days later on Sunday, August 24 for the Dog Days of Summer Hike from 10 a.m. to 12 noon for a four-mile hike with your older children 10 years and up, along with your well-behaved dog on a short leash. Remember to bring water and snacks for both hikes. Toddlers on the Trail and the Dog Days of Summer Hike are free for members of the Mohonk Preserve, or $12 for the day use fee for non-members.

Calm at the Core workshop in New Paltz “Calm at the Core is here to foster the inner peace of educators, parents and students during the stressful and confusing times of education reform… While we work together towards finding meaning and purpose during these times, it is imperative that we find calm within ourselves so that we can best go about our educative practices with connected inspiration.

Kids’ Almanac Writes Kids’ Almanac thanks Jennifer Castle for supplying writing prompts during the month of August. Jennifer Castle is the author of the young adult novels The Beginning of After and You Look Different in Real Life, both from HarperCollins. She lives in New Paltz with her husband, two daughters, two cats and about 20 notebook volumes of the ongoing journal that she has kept since 1985. Here is her journal prompt for the week. Remember to post your piece on the Almanac Weekly Facebook page: www.facebook.com/pages/almanacweekly/287633831270607. “Journaling is where we really figure out the stories inside and around us, and where we are all writers, for ourselves. I believe everyone can and should do it! These prompts are designed to help you start, get back into or freshen up a habit of regular journaling. But first, some tips: Rather than using a fancy blank journal – way too much pressure for the words to be fancy, too – buy a cheap marbled composition or spiral notebook and make it your own with stickers, collage or drawings on the cover. Set rules for yourself, like you will write for ten minutes straight or fill up an entire page or write on Tuesdays. Keep the pen moving. Resist the urge to cross out. And always: The less you think, the better.” Now: Life and writing are both full of dialogue. Conversations can be moments, slices of life, personality profiles and even tiny stories unto themselves. Write down one conversation that you had in the last few days. Try to remember every part of it and be accurate, but also don’t be afraid to embellish and let it lead to something that didn’t really happen. – Erica Chase-Salerno Erica Chase-Salerno is making ratatouille in New Paltz with her husband Mike and their two children: the inspirations behind hudsonvalleyparents.com.

My friend, business partner and company manager, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Uncleâ&#x20AC;? Mitch Rapoport, says he has ďŹ nally ďŹ gured out the answers to all the fuss about dieting; he believes that a balanced diet means a cookie in each hand, that you should never eat more that you can lift, and to avoid old age wrinkles, eat until your skin expands to ďŹ ll them in. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if he was serious about diets, but he sure knows his houses. If you ever have a question about real estate, never hesitate to call him.

DEAR BUSINESSMAN/WOMAN- We at Hardscrabble Flea Market & Swap Meet would like to congratulate you on being picked from over 100 businesses in your field. We believe we can help each other- We have a swap meet every Sunday, 8 a.m.-4 p.m. at Holy Cow Shopping Center, in addition to a flea market/garage sale. We find that when business people set up a table w/business cards & flyers or “show how to do” projects it will definitely increase your business (and mine). It’s a great way to introduce your business to new/old customers. And, if you have leftover merchandise you’d like to sell- this would be a perfect way to unload it. Please give John a call for more details- (845)7581170. Spots are $12-$35. Hudson Valley Gamelans at Bard College will be accepting new members this fall. Come and play some Balinese Gong Kebyar music with us as we prepare for our 20142015 season under the direction of Balinese master musician Prof. Pak I Nyoman Suadin. Our open rehearsals on Mon. evenings from 8:30 - 10:30 & Sat. workshops for beginners will resume in mid-September. Watch this space for details. Just about anyone can learn to play as long as you can carry a tune, clap in rhythm to a song, & have some patience & determination.

We believe we can help each other- We have a swap meet every Sunday, 8 a.m.-4 p.m. at Holy Cow Shopping Center, in addition to a flea market/garage sale. We find that when business people set up a table w/business cards & flyers or “show how to do” projects it will definitely increase your business (and mine). It’s a great way to introduce your business to new/old customers. And, if you have leftover merchandise you’d like to sell- this would be a perfect way to unload it.

adult Shepherd mixes. These siblings have been together since they were little pups so they’d like to be adopted together. They love to run around & take nice long naps afterwards. Prefer a house w/no other animals. Briggs, Spot & Sheba are also here waiting for just the right families to take them to loving homes. And last but not least, these are some of our glorious CATS. Sancho- White/ black male, neutered, very friendly, loves to find a bed & sleep the day away. ToroBlack/white neutered male w/a lion haircut. Friendly enough to earn the title of lobby cat, Toro’s been greeting visitors at the shelter for some time. Sade & T-Boz- These two adorable grey tabby kittens have a neurological condition which makes them a bit clumsy (aren’t we all?), but they’re happy & healthy & involve no more care than any other wonderful kitty. They’re ready to go to a loving home today. They’re not climbers except into your heart. Austin- Another cat friendly enough to roam the lobby & mingle w/the public. He’s affectionately referred to around these parts as the “lobby otter” for his outgoing personality & striking resemblance to an otter. He’s an older gentleman, neutered & great w/other cats. In case you were wondering, Victoria, Raven & Hammerjaw are still looking for loving and caring homes. So come see us and all of our other friends at the Ulster County SPCA, 20 Wiedy Road, Kingston (just off the traffic circle). Open 6 days/week, 11:30 am-3:30 p.m. (Closed on Mondays.) (845)331-5377.

hen George Donskoj opened his stained glass studio at 93 Broadway in 1981, there were three active businesses in Rondout. Donskoj opened a gallery in the building’s storefront in 1983 to show the many artists moving to the area. In 1995, he co-founded the Artist Soap Box Derby with then wife, Nancy, to encourage and showcase the area’s artists and emerging arts-based business sector. “When I acquired ‘93’, I was doing what would now be called ‘arts manufacturing,’” says Donskoj. “I needed a base for the museum restorations and other large institutional work I was doing then. The Rondout -- what was left of it after Urban Renewal had taken out more than 800 buildings -- was pretty bleak. We could see that artists like us were leading urban redevelopment efforts around the country. So we joined with our friends to do here in Kingston what artists were doing in other cities: opening galleries, organizing outdoor sculpture shows, hosting first Saturdays, starting an artists’ organization. The Artist Soap Box Derby was the frosting on the cake.” In 2008, Business Week magazine chose a photo of a madcap inventors careening downhill in their Derby creations to represent Kingston’s ranking as one of the top ten places in the nation for artists to live. Donskoj believes

DragonSearch The banner sponsor for the 2014 Kingston Artist Soap Box Derby recently expanded into a new, larger space in the Ertel Building at 8 N. Front Street in Kingston.

Along with helping to unify the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arts efforts and supporting its arts-based business sector, reaching this new generation of Kingstonians is a primary Derby goal.

Kingston Artist Soap Box Derby Program ALMANAC WEEKLY

August , 

Midtown Artist Space Pioneer Expands to Rondout or nearly four decades, Kingston has enjoyed recognition as a place for artists to live and work. Real estate developer Mike Piazza, like the Kingston Artist Soap Box Derby, has been a leader in making it so. Just uphill from the Derby run, Piazza is renovating three historic Rondout buildings. He recently acquired two properties on Abeel Street near the historic 1921 Wurts Street suspension bridge and a third around the corner on Hone Street. “The Rondout Historic District has long been a hub for Ulster County artists,” says Piazza. “These new projects will capitalize on that reputation to help Rondout forge a new chapter.” In 2002, a few stalwart artists already occupied the 64,000-square-foot Shirt Factory that was Piazza’s first Kingston purchase. “When I acquired the building, it was only marginally suitable,” Piazza recalls. “No lobby, bad heating systems, leaking roof, roll-up doors, crumbling parking lots surrounded by barbed wire, windows and skylights covered over with sheetrock. When I uncovered the windows, light came flooding in and the spaces came alive.” Piazza later acquired the 48,000-square-foot Brush Factory in 2005 and the 20,000-square-foot Pajama Factory in 2006. Today his three Midtown buildings together house at least 93 artists and arts-based busi-

RUPCO’s $18-million Lace Curtain Factory art-loft project will house 55 artist live/work spaces and Cornell Street Studios provides studios and exhibit space for an ever-changing array of artists, craftspeople and arts community programs.” “We’re excited that Mike Piazza will bring some of this arts business energy back to the Rondout,” says George Donskoj who moved his stained glass and
