100s of things to do every week

New Paltz talk on painting’s influence on conservationism

As part of the 50 th anniversary celebration of the Wilderness Act in 1964, professor Kerry Dean Carso will present “Landscapes of Nationalism and the Roots of Conservation in 19th-Century America” on Monday, September 22 at 7 p.m. in at Lecture Center 104 on the SUNY-New Paltz campus.

Light refreshments will be offered afterward.

The lecture will focus on 19th-century American landscape paintings and how they relate to both the formation of national identity and the roots of the conservation movement. Carso will discuss her experience as a 2014 scholar-in-residence at the Grey Towers National Historic Site, ancestral home of conservationist Gifford Pinchot in Milford, Pennsylvania, whose family history provides a fascinating link between the Hudson River School of artists and the appreciation of American natural scenery that led to conservation efforts at the turn of the 20th century. The presentation will demonstrate the strong influence of 19th-century landscape ideals on later conservation efforts.

SUNY-New Paltz is located at 1 Hawk Drive in New Paltz. For more information, call (845) 257-2757.

O

Ulster County Historical Society screens Tobe Carey’s Rails to the Catskills in Stone Ridge

ne of the more useful expressions popular nowadays is “First World problems,” referring to the sort of annoyances that plague only the privileged. A 19th-century example of such emerged as a memorable detail in Willow-based filmmaker Tobe Carey’s prizewinning 2010 documentary The Catskill Mountain House and the World Around: Access to the iconic mountaintop resort initially involved a five-hour stagecoach ride up from the banks of the Hudson, and physically fit passengers were reportedly urged to get out and walk during some of the steeper stretches to lighten the load on the horses. This situation – plus competition from newer, more easily accessible hotels – inspired Mountain House owner Charles Beach to build the funicular cable-operated Otis Elevating Railway straight up the Wall of Manitou, which spared his wealthy guests a wearisome uphill trudge.

This happened in 1892, extending the penetration of the Catskill Mountain Railway, which had been completed ten years earlier as part of the post-Civil War railroad-building boom. Carey has pursued this line of research further in his newest historical documentary, Rails to the Catskills. Using interviews with railroad historians, photographs, postcards, rare films, rail-fan movies, newspapers, historic archives and original footage, the 95-minute film examines the role of pioneering railroads in opening up the region to industry, tourism and development, then follows their history through the railroad heyday of the early 20th century to today’s tourist railroads and the controversy over rails and trails. Rails to the Catskills chronicles the rise and fall of such iconic lines as the New York, Ontario & Western Railway, the Ulster & Delaware Railroad and the Catskill Mountain Railway/Otis Elevating Railway, along with electric trolleys that served as urban connectors, the Wallkill Valley Railroad, the West Shore Railroad and the Catskill Mountain Railroad.

Carey will screen Rails to the Catskills on Sunday, September 21 at 3 p.m. at the Marbletown Community Center in Stone Ridge. Sponsored by the Ulster County Historical Society, the event is free and open to the public. For more information, call (845) 338-5614 or e-mail uchsdirector@gmail.com.

GUIDO HARARI

John Cage

Celebrating John Cage

T

he experimental composer John Cage’s cultural importance is so wide-ranging and various – seemingly residing in cultural theory, Zen philosophy, poetry, multimedia and mass-mediabaiting every bit as much as in music – that it is sometimes easy to bypass the experience of actually listening to his music, which is a shame. Bard College has been addressing this problem for quite a while with regular Cagecentric programming.

On Saturday and Sunday, September 20 and 21, the Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts and the John Cage Trust at Bard College present two special concerts featuring works by Cage.

On Saturday, September 20, there will be a rare performance of Cage’s The Ten Thousand Things in the Fisher Center’s Theater Two at 8 p.m., with a preconcert talk at 7 p.m. by musicologist James Pritchett. On Sunday, September 21, So Percussion will debut Branches, a new multimedia program at Bard, with

a performance of We Are All Going in Different Directions in the Sosnoff Theater at 3 p.m.

So Percussion esteems Cage’s importance highly, writing that “his innovations and accomplishments are truly staggering: He wrote some of the first electric/acoustic hybrid music; the first significant body of percussion music; the first music for turntables; invented the prepared piano; and had a huge impact in the fields of dance, visual art, theater and critical theory.” Indeed, the colorful, elusive and conceptual instructions that Cage prepared for performers of his music have attained their own separate legitimacy in the art world.

Musicologist James Pritchett will give the pre-concert talk for Saturday’s performance of The Ten Thousand Things, a project initiated by John Cage in 1953 involving the composition of independent pieces for various media, each bearing a number title, each capable of being played alone or together with any number of the others. Such an open work could be added

to constantly, and since the performing ensemble would not be fixed, Cage’s composition remains perpetually “in progress.”

This performance brings together five of these pieces, spanning the years 1953 to 1956, in a chance-determined musical collage: 59 ½” for a String Player (1953),

There will be a rare performance of Cage’s The Ten Thousand Things at Bard 45’ for Speaker (1954), 31’ 57.9864” for a Pianist (1954), 26’ 1.1499” for a String Player (1955) and 27’ 10.554” for a Percussionist (1956). Performers for this program include Marka Gustavsson, viola, Laura Kuhn, voice, Garry Kvistad, percussion, Robert Martin, cello and

The colorful, arty, good-humored indie-pop band Landlady (pictured above) announces its affiliations and its significant differences in the first 30 seconds of “Above My Ground,” the opening track on Upright Behavior (2014, Hometapes). This half-minute is occupied exclusively by a distant, quavering and queasy processed electric piano sound: a warped, remote and unstable toy-overture of exactly the kind that kicks off a thousand tracks by a thousand new arty indie bands every month, some great, some whatever. But the difference – ah, the difference! – is in the notes, which matter.

Landlady is the vehicle of songwriter, keyboardist and multi-instrumentalist Adam Schatz, a regular member of the popular twisted circus-rock act called Man Man and a sideman who has worked with Vampire Weekend, among other indie-world notables. What differentiates Schatz’s compositions from most of his peers in BK and elsewhere is baldly evident in those 30 seconds of sickly tinkling at the top of “Above My Ground.” It is the beautiful, delicate chord progression, part melancholic jazz ballad, part Tin Pan Alley, nearly Chopin in it voicings and subtle internal movement.

Upright Behavior quickly turns out to be a tumultuous, gritty, conceptually oddball affair, but that attention to subtle harmony and melodic detail characterizes the whole joint.

The five-piece band whips up a dynamic prog-pop mess across the record’s ten tracks, simultaneously orchestral and reverberant garage, nightmare show tune (the title track) and landlocked beach rock, with plenty of the Beatlesque mixed. (Is there a single more influential song than “Lady Madonna” these days?)

Lyrics rely – as do so many in Landlady’s milieu – on the artful repetition and modification of simple phrases that gradually deconstruct into a morass of contradictory meanings (as lyrics must, by law, in New York City). But this is a great, smart and lovable album with a very imaginative and capable cat behind the curtain.

On Thursday, September 18, Landlady appears at the Half Moon in Hudson, joined by Breakfast in Fur, the great New Paltz band that is on the verge of releasing its own long-awaited first full-length on

RECORDING

Redefining fusion Prismatic Mantis releases great new album Swords of Truth

N

ow that the ’70s are over, let’s reinvent the word “fusion” for a new millennium. Swords of Truth, the new album by the Ulster County-based Prismatic Mantis, is music that you can comfortably call fusion without referencing the smooth jazz, free-form blowing and lite funk of the wide-collared ’70s. Composer/multi-instrumentalist Mark Reynolds, drummer Brian St. Pierre and a small coterie of guests fuse electro and acoustic, jazz, folk and rock, ambient minimalism and club-beat glitch across this album’s nine remarkably well-developed and focused tracks. More profoundly, they fuse aesthetic purposes as well, as this is an album designed to challenge the listener, yes, but also to transport her and promote deep focus with sonic mandalas, meditative pattern art and a lexicon of groove that could at times be called “world” and at other times simply otherworldly.

Complexity abounds in the odd meters (that always seem fluid, never gratuitous), in the breakneck execution of difficult passages, in the skittish groove architecture of ADHD micro-masterpieces like “Peanut Butter and Butter” and in the expansive sound palette that the wildly skilled Reynolds employs (mostly by his own hand). But the keyword here is focus: Reynolds always honors the macro, the transportive purpose of his complex art, and the details never overpower that fundamentally magical intent.

By the end, a lot of styles have been referenced in a non-binding way. Many listeners will reflexively (and erroneously) think “Zappa” because of the occasional mallet percussion, the intricate modal passages and the patches of shredded guitar.

One of the record’s handful of vocal tracks, “Forgiveness” (featuring guest vocalist/lyricist Lindsey Buckley), evokes some of the celestial fusion of Chick Corea and Return to Forever (not the legendary early RTF, but the oft-and-unfairly-maligned Gayle Moran era, for those keeping score). Extended passages in other tunes seem modeled after the patient pattern science of Steve Reich (Reichian veteran Doug Perkins performs on the title track). Other tunes rock and swing in more comforting and familiar ways. And on the record’s finale, “Space Brother and Sisterhood Calling,” Prismatic Mantis lays all the skittering complexity to rest: The tune is a seven-plus-minute meditation on a single, slowly morphing, three-dimensional pad sound.

Your attention has been redirected within. Goodnight.

When Reynolds is not spending the thousands of hours that it obviously took to write, arrange and perform this extreme labor-of-love and vastly impressive music, he plays bass in the popular New Paltz area band the Breath Collective. Breath Collective is a dynamic art-rock band clearly schooled on Radiohead and Jeff Buckley, but with a devotion to in-the-moment, ecstatic improvisation that I will, with no small discomfort, call “jam” – but only because I am interested in rescuing that term from its abusers, just as I am interested in waking the term “fusion” from its decades of cultural shame.

Reynolds, then, emerges as a man with a mytho-musical purpose. Running through the song titles and liner notes on Swords of Truth is a kind of futurist sci-fi ruse à la Sun Ra: “Extraterrestrial Throwback Recorded & Decoded for Humans,” Reynolds writing, seemingly implying that his music comes both from space and from the future. Half tongue-in-cheek/half-serious is my guess. Works for me.

highly musical goofiness, a tightly focused effort conceptually, and one that pretty much laughs in the face of everything that I have just said about his music.

It is adventurous and playful indeed; but its adventure lies not so much in its harmonies as in its quirky sonics, its dense layering of fritzy and cartoonish sounds, its borderline-chaotic rhythm tracks that juxtapose clunky over klutzy to magnificent effect. Swift is by no means a keyboard showcase, though you catch a glimpse of chops here and there.

Benevento is the opposite of a showboater, bless him.

Swift is also Benevento’s most songoriented record, and his first as a vocalist. How to grade him as a singer?

I’ll go with “effective,” both because he handles the songs’ simple and anthemic melodies competently (“Eye to Eye” alone gets a little clever with shapely melodies) and because the vocals are highly effected, remote with reverb and filtering, but entirely of a piece with the overall production vibe. Hey, hiding a little is what we sort-of singers do these days.

He sounds like a warmer and more human Moby. Can you live with that? I can.

Swift ultimately reveals itself to be a delightfully, unapologetically awkward indie disco record of sorts, dancing and singing for those who are maybe not great at dancing and singing. But it is done with awesome musical touch and imagination, and with a lucid vision of what it is trying to be. Words fail. You’ll have to hear this

BiF makes an interesting foil for Landlady: intentionally naïve and childlike in exactly the ways that Landlady is worldly and sophisticated. But BiF’s main man Dan Wolfe is no less a sonic visionary than Schatz, and his songs score again and again with a timeless, tuneful clarity and simplicity, set jewellike amidst a luminous millennial indie jangle of guitars, accordions, cheap synths and a rock-solid rhythm section that you can move to if you want.

Marco Benevento touts new album Swift at BSP

Rhapsody – my (paid) music-streaming platform of choice – has, with its mind clearly elsewhere, categorized

the music of the keyboardist and composer/songwriter Marco Benevento as “Free Jazz.” This is worth a laugh, but also a lesson.

See, for me, the most appealing thing about Benevento is precisely that he is not jazz; he is, moreover, a standing example that jazz holds no monopoly on improvisation and on harmonic invention in music. So Rhapsody got the “free” part right, at least – as long as by “free” we mean playful with all the materials and conventions of music, not free as in unruled and unruly.

I had heard several of Benevento’s hybrid electro records before the first time I saw him perform, as an accompanist with Tracy Bonham in a duo show at the Colony Café in Woodstock. In that stripped-down and supporting role, playing a grand piano and carrying Bonham’s elegant and witty tunes with such graceful self-sufficiency that she barely handled a violin all night and the guitar only a little more, Benevento’s freewheeling, liberated musicality really shone. Without ever dropping the ball of Bonham’s aesthetic intent, he toyed with her tunes, reharmonizing them on the fly, cracking them open and finding new songs within the songs as Tracy shot him admiring, surprised and faux-chastising glances, as if to say, “Marco, you little devil.”

And it was so not-jazz. It was gloriously not-jazz. The J word would never even have crossed your mind. What was it then? Harmonically expanded folk, I’d call it, with some groovy, extemporaneous Baroque and Romantic underpinnings.

I heard more Chopin and Beethoven in his moves than Wynton Kelly, though Benevento can go as blue or as boogie-

woogie as he likes as well; but that’s folk too. They say that Bach and Mozart improvised much of that music that is now so canonical – really just pulled it out of their powdered butts as royals and high clergy looked on. I like to see Marco in that tradition, though clearly more jester than courtier.

Christine Lavin headlines Founders’ Event at Unison

For the Unison Arts & Learning Center to be celebrating its 38th year in existence says something about both the organization and the community who have supported it over the years, says Christine Crawfis, Unison’s executive director. The occasion will be marked by a Founders’ Event on Saturday, September 20 in the Unison

Theater at 68 Mountain Rest Road in New Paltz. The cost is $45 in advance or $55 at the door; members pay $40 in advance or $50 at the door.

Last year’s inaugural Founders’ Event at Unison specifically honored the people who have served as president of the Board of Directors over the years, but this time around the evening is intended to recognize all of the people who have made 38 years possible, from the members to the volunteers to the board members, says Crawfis: “It’s really a collective effort.�

The evening will begin at 7 p.m.

Gardiner’s Tuthilltown Spirits will supply some potent potables and there will be plentiful refreshments – finger foods, desserts, coffee and wine – buffet-style in a casual cabaret setting with cafÊ seating in which it’s easy to mingle and chat.

After a brief program at 8 p.m. acknowledging the importance of the people behind the arts organization, the rest of the evening will be turned over to a performance by folksinger and wryly witty comedienne Christine Lavin. “Christine has appeared here before and she understands Unison, so she seemed like a great fit for our event,� says Crawfis. “She’s a favorite of some of our members.

We were looking for someone for the Founders’ Event who had performed here before, understood the energy of Unison and had an appreciation for the Unison community. Christine is a great combination of not only musical talent, but it’s such a delight to watch her perform. She’s funny, she’s casual, she’s easy... It’s a celebratory evening, but we didn’t want it to be ‘serious.’�

Christine Lavin was awarded the NYC Nightlife Award for Best Concert and Cabaret Performer in 2012. She is also the recipient of five ASCAP composer awards and the Backstage Bistro Award for Best NYC Singer/Songwriter of the Year. Betty Buckley, Sutton Foster and Andrea Marcovicci are just some of the artists who have performed her songs.

Unison offers an eclectic array of arts programming, ranging from live musical performances to staged readings by the resident Mohonk Mountain Stage Company (founded by Crawfis), visual arts exhibits in the gallery and sculpture

A History of the Future James Howard Kunstler in Woodstock

J

ames Howard Kunstler, who drew a full house for his talk at the Woodstock Writers’ Festival, will return to Woodstock with a reading and talk about his new novel, A History of the Future, the third in his “World Made by Hand� series, at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, September 19 at the Kleinert/James Center for the Arts.

The books center around a time following the catastrophes of the 21st century: the pandemics, the environmental disaster, the end of oil, the ensuing chaos.

People are doing whatever they can to get by and pursuing a simpler, difficult and sometimes more rewarding existence in a small upstate town called Union Grove.

Kunstler, whose non-fiction includes The Geography of Nowhere, The City in Mind: Notes on the Urban Condition and The Long Emergency, has lectured at Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Dartmouth, Cornell, MIT, RPI, the University of Virginia and many other colleges.

Admission is free, and books will be there. For more information, call (845) 679-8000, or see http://goldennotebook.com.

Upcoming fall events include Uncommon Ground on Saturday, September 27: an alternative bluegrass group billed as being “on a mission to combine the technical expertise of classically trained musicians with the soul of bluegrass.� The players include longtime veterans of the bluegrass scene Mike Kobetitsch and Wayne Fugate, fiddler Rachel Handman, bassist Phil Helm and Craig Bitterman on a small arsenal of percussion instruments.

Amy Fradon and Leslie Ritter will present their unique “If the Everly Brothers had sisters� transcendent harmonies and sing a mix of original and cover songs in the folk/blues/singer/ songwriter tradition from their three acclaimed CDs on Saturday, October 11.

As is the case with all nonprofit arts organizations, Unison relies on support from a variety of sources in order to offer its programs. Revenue from ticket sales to live events covers less than 60 percent of the operating costs. Small grants from the New York State Council on the Arts help with funding, but Unison really depends on support from the community, which comes in the form of annual memberships, sponsorships by local businesses, donors and volunteers, who do everything from working the box office to selling artists’ CDs to serving as ushers (which offers the excellent perq of free admission to a live performance). – Sharyn Flanagan Unison Arts Center Founders’ Event, Saturday, September 20, 7 p.m., $40$55, Theater at Unison Arts Center, 68 Mountain Rest Road, New Paltz; (845) 255-1559, www.unisonarts.org.

FOR KIDS WHO LOVE KNIGHTS IN ARMOR, DRAGONS AND GRIFFINS AND UNICORNS, the Art Center will host a Family Day the following Saturday, September 27 from 1:30 to 4 p.m.

This afternoon of fun Renaissance-flavored activities inspired by the “Imperial Augsburg” exhibition will feature artmaking activities and interactive, kid-friendly tours of the galleries.

The prince of prints “Imperial Augsburg” exhibition at Vassar pays tribute to a hotbed of Renaissance art

I

f asked to name European cities that were major hotbeds of Renaissance culture, not many Americans would find “Augsburg” leaping to the tip of their tongue. That’s not because the ancient Bavarian city doesn’t rate such high regard, but simply because most of us don’t know about it.

Exhibitions of its art haven’t made the rounds in this country until a couple of years ago, when the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC decided to pull together “Imperial Augsburg: Renaissance Prints and Drawings, 1475-1540” from its substantial holdings from that time and place. In fact, it’s the first-ever US exhibition to explore Augsburg’s artistic achievements in the late 15th and early 16th centuries.

According to National Gallery director Earl A. Powell III, “The rich and varied history of works on paper in Renaissance Augsburg can be told almost entirely through the National Gallery’s extensive collection of German prints, drawings and illustrated books.” Happily, the US tour of this remarkable exhibition – curated by Gregory Jecmen of the National Gallery and Freyda Spira of the Metropolitan Museum of Art – is making its last stop right in our back yard, so we can now familiarize ourselves with Augsburg’s fantastic cultural legacy. It’s opening this week at Vassar College’s Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center with a lecture and live performance of German Renaissance music.

Situated at a strategically important confluence of river valleys that served as a gateway through Alpine passes from Germany to Italy, Augsburg was a coveted prize from the time of its founding as Augusta Vindelicorum in 15 BCE by Drusus and Tiberius in the name of their stepfather, Augustus Caesar. This crossroads of major European trade routes bounced back from sackings by the Huns, Charlemagne and Duke Welf I of Bavaria to become a Free Imperial City of the Holy Roman Empire: a privilege that lasted for 500 years. Textile manufacturing, metalworking and banking generated great wealth for the city, enabling the arts to flourish. Painters Hans Holbein the Elder and Younger, during the period covered by this exhibition, and later Leopold Mozart and Bertolt Brecht, all hailed from Augsburg.

It was under the reign of Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I (1493-1519), who commissioned his prints and armor there, that the city reached the height of its artistic florescence. “As Augsburg’s artists benefited from the patronage of the Habsburg court, they also created works for the city’s thriving art market,” says Patricia Phagan, the Philip and Lynn Straus curator of Prints and Drawings at the Lehman Loeb.

Out of this well-funded arts community arose significant breakthroughs in printmaking technology. Color printing was pioneered there by Erhard Ratdolt (1447-1528) through his use of multiple

carved wooden blocks, one for each color, in imitation of illuminated manuscripts, and further developed by his apprentice Hans Burgkmair I (1472-1531). One highlight of the National Gallery show is The Lovers Surprised by Death (1510), by Burgkmair and Jost de Negker, which is described as “the first true chiaroscuro woodcut.”

Burgkmair and Leonhard Beck (14801542) provided most of the woodcut illustrations for Emperor Maximilian’s book projects, largely intended to glorify his deeds and legitimize his lineage as successor to the Roman emperors.

Examples of these are the focus of one of the Lehman Loeb’s galleries in this exhibition, along with ornamental metaletching techniques for armor that were adapted to printmaking in Augsburg by Daniel Hopfer (1470-1536). Imitating the florid decorative style of the Italian Renaissance, Augsburg’s artists etched exuberant likenesses of mythical beasts

and rich foliage patterns on metal and paper alike. One etched set of armor and a collection of medals are included in the exhibition, along with more than 100 works on paper.

Emperor Maximilian wasn’t the only aristocrat of the period who could afford to have his likeness preserved by artists.

A gallery of the exhibit is devoted to portraits on paper and metal of famous citizens of and visitors to Augsburg, along with a collection depicting soldiers and knights that will appeal to all who enjoy the romance of the late Middle Ages.

Reflecting the city’s pivotal role in central Europe’s transition from the Roman Catholic Church to predominantly Protestant beliefs – the Augsburg Confession of 1530 was a key component of the codification of Lutheran theology and practice – one gallery focuses on devotional prints and illustrated books representing the Christian contemplative life. Others focus on images depicting

“exemplary men undone by alluring women” as well as common vices and virtues as illustrated through biblical, chivalric and mythological tales.

Vassar’s opening event for the exhibition is a lecture by curators Jecmen and Spira titled “Imperial Augsburg: A Flourishing Market for Innovative Prints,” which begins at 5:30 p.m. on Friday, September 19 in Taylor Hall, Room 102. It will be followed at 6:45 p.m. by a reception in the Atrium of the Art Center, with music of the German Renaissance performed by the St. John’s Recorder Ensemble.

The Vassar Libraries and Department of Music will also present major activities in conjunction with the “Imperial Augsburg” exhibit. The early-music vocal ensemble Pomerium will perform a program of “Music for Imperial Augsburg, 1518-1548” at Skinner Hall on Sunday, September 21 at 3 p.m. And a four-month exhibit already open at the Thompson Memorial Library, “Never Before Has Your Like Been Printed: The Nuremberg Chronicle of 1493,” examines the most heavily illustrated book of the 15th century, printed in another culturally significant Bavarian city. Actual leaves and editions of the Nuremberg Chronicle will be on display, marking the 500th anniversary of the death of the book’s author, Hartmann Schedel. This exhibition runs through December 10.

Finally, for kids aged 4 to 10 who love knights in armor, dragons and griffins and unicorns, the Art Center will host a Family Day the following Saturday, September 27 from 1:30 to 4 p.m. This afternoon of fun Renaissance-flavored activities inspired by the “Imperial Augsburg” exhibition will feature artmaking activities and interactive, kid-friendly tours of the galleries. No reservations are needed; participants can just drop in.

“Imperial Augsburg” will remain on view through December 14. Admission to the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center is free, and all galleries are wheelchairaccessible. The exhibition is open to the public from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Thursdays and from 1 to 5 p.m. on Sundays.

Paintings by Serena Depero & Lily Prince at SUNY-Ulster Recent paintings by painters Serena Depero and Lily Prince are featured this month in the new exhibit “Force of Nature,” inaugurating the new season at SUNY-Ulster’s Muroff-Kotler Fine Art Gallery on the Stone Ridge campus. Both artists’ work combines abstract mark-making with observational gesture, reflecting the sensory memory of atmosphere and place.

Depero, born in Rome, takes the bright shapes of her native city’s aged and ageless landscape and translates them, and the muted colors with which she grew up, into an inner language of minute moments vying for emotional resonance, a place in memory alongside dreams and wishes.

Prince works in situ, but pulls the patterns from the world that she paints, imbuing them with a sense of otherworldliness, combining “perception in the moment, memory of past space and aspiration of future place…an ordered chaos of the natural world,” as she puts it.

There’s a matching-up of visions here, and a gauntlet toss to the rest of us to see just as deeply.

Art Omi in Ghent hosts Light into Night The arts scene in Hudson, and increasingly throughout the entirety of Columbia County, has long had élan, and most recently an urban cool able to draw hundreds, even crowds of a thousand-plus, to openings and events.

It’s not only the place where Hudson Valley people go to see what’s up-andcoming in the contemporary arts, but also to sell their own creative outputs.

The mother entity of much of this scene, the Omi International Arts Center in the rural stretches of Ghent, hosts a combined fundraiser and arts event this Saturday, September 20, that draws back attention from the more edgy experimentation of last week’s Soundscape/Groundswell/440hz extravaganza with a truly collaborative Light into Night multi-arts mixture of installations and performances. Running from 5 to 9 p.m. with an open bar, a farmto-table dinner and after-event barn dance, Light into Night will feature pieces commissioned especially for this event by alumni of Omi’s four residency programs, as well as local artists and members of the community.

Among the highlights will be a palm-leaf lamp and percussion orchestra ceremony, dance performances, video installations, a “luminous large bubble performance”

by Ulster County’s (and Bard’s) own Julianne Swartz, a live auction and other “happenings” being worked on throughout the week. There will be a Camp Omi for kids involving pizza, hot cider and fun with the Fields at Art Omi’s great sculpture park, and an opportunity to get to know the region’s old-school culturati and newer hipoisie.

Ticket prices start at $200 and include dinner and admission for the evening.

“Little Stars” is open to guests’ children (ages 4 to 12) for an additional $30. For those who can spring for it, it’s a mustattend kind of thing.

Kevin Conklin/ Graeme Leaf exhibition in Rhinebeck An opening reception for “The Spirit Within” will be held at the Betsy Jacaruso Studio & Gallery at 43 East Market Street in Rhinebeck on Saturday, September 20 from 5 to 7 p.m. The exhibit will remain on view through Sunday, October 12. The exhibition features works from painter Kevin Conklin and photographer Graeme Leaf.

Conklin, a native of Connecticut and current resident of Rhinecliff, creates oil paintings that reflect both the pulsating energy and the classic grandeur of life in New York City. Through vibrant colors and the interplay of light and shadow, he infuses into his works the inspiration and spirit behind his subject matter. In both his city and natural landscapes, he strives to portray the relationship between real and abstract in a way that merges sensitivity and power.

Leaf, a native of Brooklyn, began pursuing photography during his sophomore year of high school. Drawn to the haunting allure of places and people long-forgotten or overlooked, he has focused his artistic passion on capturing shots that are often disregarded, whether it be an unknown passerby or graffiti

Photo exhibition by Jorge Abel Santos at Vassar’s Palmer Gallery The work of Poughkeepsie-based photographer Jorge Abel Santos will be on view in the exhibition “Two Worlds in My Heart” at the James W. Palmer Gallery in the Main Building at Vassar College. The show opens with an artist’s reception on Tuesday, September 23 at 5 p.m. in the gallery.

The exhibit remains on view through Saturday, October 18. Admission is free and open to the public.

“Two Worlds in My Heart” features more than 30 of Santos’ photos. Some depict life in his village in Mexico’s impoverished state of Puebla circa 1991, when the area was still without electricity or telephones.

Others document a Poughkeepsie street demonstration in support of immigrants and various other aspects of life in the Hudson Valley.

Santos was one of the early arrivals in the migration of Mexican people to Poughkeepsie beginning in 1989, just 17 at the time that he left his village.

For years Santos made trips back to his village in the volcanic region of Puebla, and returning from those trips, he felt a need to document life there, and also life in the America that he had come to love. The photographs in the exhibition celebrate the similarities and differences of the two places.

The Palmer Gallery is open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily. Vassar College is located at 124 Raymond Avenue in Poughkeepsie.

Martin Puryear, Christopher Kurtz & Jeff Shapiro at PS 209 The PS 209 Art Gallery in Stone Ridge will host an opening reception on Saturday, October 11 from 5 to 7 p.m. for an exhibition of the work of Christopher Kurtz, Martin Puryear and Jeff Shapiro. The exhibit will remain on view through November 16.

Gallery hours at 3670 Main Street in Stone Ridge are Fridays from 2 to 5 p.m., Saturdays from 12 noon to 5 p.m., Sundays from 12 noon to 4 p.m. and by appointment.

Puryear was educated at the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts in Stockholm and Yale University. His first one-person exhibition was in 1977, with public commissions since in Europe, Japan and the US. The Museum of Modern Art organized a retrospective exhibition of his work in 2007 that traveled to the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth. He received a MacArthur Foundation award in 1989 and has recently been awarded the Gold Medal in Sculpture by the American Academy of Arts and Letters.

Kurtz received a BFA in Sculpture from the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University. After college, he went on to work as the studio assistant to Martin Puryear, where he refined his woodworking skills. Kurtz has received numerous grants and awards, including the Louis Comfort Tiffany Award in 2005 and the New York Foundation For the Arts Award (Lily Auchincloss fellow) in 2007.

Shapiro was born in the Bronx and studied ceramic arts while living in Japan for nine years. His work has been exhibited internationally and is in numerous museum collections around the world.

SUN GOLD is the best-tasting cherry tomato ever.

Number of hours the average American spends eating each weekday

Hearty harvest Relatively mild summer temperatures, balanced rain & sun yield abundant crops in 2014

I

wish that I could say that my ever-greener thumb is responsible for the baskets overflowing with tomatoes and ripe red peppers in the kitchen and strings of fat sweet onions hanging from garage rafters. Ripe figs hang lax from branches, a drop of honeydew in each of their “eyes” telling me that they want picking. The season has been bountiful.

I can’t recall anything special that I did this season that would have boosted the harvest of so many different fruits and vegetables. The soil, as usual, got lathered with an inch-deep layer of compost. Transplants and seeds got started with hand-watering, then drip irrigation automatically quenched plants’ thirst from then on. I kept my usual eye out for insect or disease pests.

Further deflating my own gardening prowess is the fact that a lot of you readers also have experienced a season of bumper crops, right? (Not to wish ill upon your garden, but please tell me “No.”) So let’s credit this season’s abundance to the weather. Rainfall was regular and sufficient up until August. Those periods of rain punctuated longer periods of intense sunlight, in which plants no doubt reveled.

Temperatures also get credit. Very hot weather interfered with corn and pepper pollination last year; not so this year. Temperatures were neither too hot nor too cool all season long. Okra was the only vegetable complaining this year: Torrid weather is needed to keep those pods coming on. This summer, pods appeared on okra plants whenever the mercury soared, then the plants just sat, doing nothing, waiting out periods of cooler temperatures.

It’s time to render praise to a vegetable that has tasted and looked fresh and good all season long, every season, irrespective of the weather. That vegetable is mizuna – sometimes known as mustard cabbage or kaai ts’oi, or botanically as Brassica juncea or Brassica rapa nipponosica.

I sowed mizuna seeds along with lettuce and arugula seeds in the garden in April in a bed slated for corn planting later in June. Mizuna, lettuce and arugula all provide greenery for early salads, enjoy cool spring weather and are in and out of the garden quickly enough to be out of the way for a later crop such as corn. I pulled out these plants just before sowing corn – most of them. Arugula was going to seed anyway, and the lettuce was soon to take a step in that direction. Mizuna, though, was still looking fresh and green, so I left it in place.

As cornstalks reached skyward, mizuna kept its fresh appearance and tenderness of spring. That corn bed is now ready for harvest, and mizuna is still tender and tasty. Most kinds of mustard greens would have tough leaves and have gone to seed months ago. After the ears of corn are harvested, my plan is to dig out the corn plants, carry them off to the compost and leave mizuna to carry on until really frigid weather turns its leaves to mush.

Mizuna flavor is mustardy, but only mildly so. Taste it and it seems to ooze vitamins and minerals, borne out by analyses showing it to be especially rich in pro-vitamin A and calcium.

Did this season’s weather make for better-tasting tomatoes? Perhaps.

Perhaps not. The main influences on tomato flavor are the amount of sunlight, the amount of water plants take up, probably plant nutrition, especially with respect to potassium and phosphorus, and – most importantly – the variety.

I’m happy with the taste of this season’s tomatoes, but was eagerly awaiting ripening of the variety Gardener’s Delight.

I grew Gardener’s Delight about 40 years ago and thought that it was the besttasting cherry tomato in the world. After not growing it for decades (other varieties got my attention), I grew it again last year, only to be disappointed in the flavor. That led me to wonder whether the apparent change in flavor was due to Fedco Seeds, the company from which I purchased the seeds, getting sloppy with their seedsaving; differing growing conditions (Wisconsin versus New York); or whether I had become more discriminating in tasting my tomatoes.

As a test, this year I planted seeds of Gardener’s Delight from three sources: Fedco Seeds (www.fedcoseeds. com), Botanical Interests (www. botanicalinterests.com) and Thompson & Morgan (www.thompson-morgan.com).

The latter is a British seed company, the source of the seeds that I planted 40 years ago. Last week, to a drum roll (in my head), I tasted Gardener’s Delight tomatoes from each of the three sources. They all tasted the same – and not very good. Fedco Seeds was exonerated.

Ruling out growing conditions, since all my other tomato varieties taste as good as in seasons past, the verdict lies in my tastebuds. Not that my tastebuds themselves have become more discriminating; instead, cherry tomato varieties have greatly improved over the past 40 years.

More specifically, the variety Sun Gold came on the scene more than 20 years ago (also introduced by Thompson & Morgan and now widely available). I think that I speak for everyone in stating that Sun Gold is the best-tasting cherry tomato ever. Gardener’s Delight may have been good in its day, but it has been easily eclipsed by Sun Gold.

Whether the growing season is cloudy or sunny, or warm or cool (within reason), Sun Gold always offers a bounty of persimmon-orange, delectable sweettart tomatoes with bold flavor.

WHITEURS “HAS CREATED HIS OWN UNIVERSE, coherent and complete down to its least details: a universe in which his friends and lovers have been recast as royalty or heroes or larger-than-life characters whom he commemorates with poetry and music and elaborate rituals.”

Revolutionary regalia Widow Jane Mine in Rosendale hosts performance of poet Ron Whiteurs’ Crowns

P

oets have always been a rare and quirky breed of humans – all the more so in our contemporary society that affords no economic role for them. But among the literati of Ulster County, Rosendale-based poet Ronald Dionysius Whiteurs stands out as an uncategorizable phenomenon.

His talent is towering, his presence shy and self-effacing, his humor puckish and his enthusiasms altogether baffling even to his many creative comrades.

What can one say about a gay black man from the New York City suburbs who was radicalized during the Vietnam War, deeply enmeshed in the hippie counterculture of New Paltz and Rosendale from 1966 onward, influenced by many a futurist thinker, and yet is an avid Anglophile and even identifies as a monarchist?

Well, here’s what one of Whiteurs’ oldest and closest friends, performance poet and political satirist Mikhail Horowitz, has to say about him: “Ron is the Outsider artist nonpareil, the paragon of self-taught, self-wrought artistic expression. With diligence, devotion and a wild mind, he has created his own universe, coherent and complete down to its least details: a universe in which his friends and lovers have been recast as royalty or heroes or larger-than-life characters whom he commemorates with poetry and music and elaborate rituals.”

A performance of Crowns, a compendium of five of Ron Whiteurs’

poems dramatized by a crew of longtime associates and the author himself, will happen this Sunday, September 21 at 1 p.m. at the Widow Jane Mine on the grounds of the Century House Historical Society’s Snyder Estate in Rosendale. The spooky, sonorous underground space is the perfect venue for Whiteurs’ fantastical comic/ heroic epics in verse, and he has performed there many times in the past. In fact, says the poet, “The first of the five poems that I’m going to be doing, ‘From the Mouth of a Rosendale Cave,’ was written in honor of the people who asked me to do this: Anne Gorrick and Gayle Grunwald of the Century House Historical Society. It was Anne’s idea; she asked me to put my crowns on display and read poetry related to the crowns.”

This royal theme – odd as it seems in springing from such hotbeds of antiEstablishment social protest in which Whiteurs was nourished as a young man – has its roots in a formative moment in the early days of television. At the impressionable age of 9, he watched the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II of Britain on live TV, enraptured by the formal ritual and splendid regalia of it all: glorious products of the human imagination that, to this born Romantic’s mind, seemed sadly lacking in the bleak landscape of 1950s America. Once he landed in New Paltz to pursue his Masters (in English, naturally, with a particular fondness for Tolkien), Whiteurs started

The first “Coronation” – of Ruth Wright, Harold Channer and Mikhail Horowitz – took place in New Paltz in 1969, and each was presented with a sonnet.

Poet Ronald Dionysius Whiteurs with the Queen

assembling crowns, scepters, ceremonial swords and the like from easily obtainable materials like kitchen strainers, ice buckets and various dimestore oddments.

It was a hobby that grew out of earlier craft projects, but also his way of honoring close friends and people who contributed a great deal of themselves to the local arts scene.

Bestowal of these regal gifts involved elaborate ceremony and the composition of poetic odes tailored to the occasion

and the honorees. The first “Coronation” – of Ruth Wright, Harold Channer and Mikhail Horowitz – took place in New Paltz in 1969, and each was presented with a sonnet. Yes, inscrutable as it seems, this product of the iconoclastic Aquarian generation swam unapologetically against the literary current of the times, writing reams of poetry that follows, with perfect fluidity and grace, the most formal and academic rules and structure: stuff like sonnets. It’s groundbreaking creative nonconformity achieved precisely via

the application of often-tongue-in-cheek conformity.

If you’ve ever thrown up your hands in despair at understanding the vaguelyevocative-but-essentially-content-free poetry that was trending so heavily in the late 20th century, you will especially enjoy a reading of Ron Whiteurs’ work. It’s by no means greeting-card versification – he’s far too knowledgeable a scholar of poetics for that, and far too adept with the language that he loves so much – but it is refreshingly accessible to the average hearer.

Sunday’s program will also include two other poems from his ongoing Crowns series: “The Coronation of Art” (1990), which is based on the Overture to Glück and Wagner’s Iphigenia en Aulide, and “On the Isthmus of St. George” (1980), along with “Lorna Poema,” which Whiteurs says is “a chant for [photojournalist] Lorna Tychostup, written in the 1990s, way before all that stuff in Iraq.” In his remarkable self-published poetic scrapbook Crowns I Have Made and Other Regalia, the author describes “On the Isthmus of St. George” as “an elaborately staged mock battle scene, a gentle but hilarious farce about my friend, Joseph St. George,” that was “influenced heavily by Gilbert and Sullivan.” Several members of the original cast will appear in this Sunday’s performance, including Horowitz, supplying sound effects, and Joe St. George himself, portraying the admiral. “He doesn’t have any lines, because he’s sleeping through the whole thing,” Whiteurs notes.

It all sounds like great goofy fun, displaying refined literary skill and reverence for the classics leavened by the poet’s correspondingly irreverent sense of humor – as if your favorite English Lit professor were moonlighting as a member of the Monty Python troupe (and also liked to glue shiny stuff together in his or her spare time). Like so many of the events staged at the Widow Jane Mine, it will be an artistic “happening” unlike any other. Like Whiteurs’ book, the performance is sure to be, in Horowitz’s words, “a fascinating portal into a radically unconventional and singular sensibility.”

Bring your admiral’s hat or your crown, if you’ve got one handy.

A guide to fall literary events

Book this For poets, writers and readers, the Hudson Valley marries the best of both worlds: the proximity of New York City’s fertile cultural life and the virtues of the country sojourn, from uplifting natural beauty to a laid-back pace that leaves time to contemplate and write.

The sophistication of local audiences contributes to the popularity of the Woodstock Writers’ Festival, the presence of literary publishers such as Barrytown’s Station Hill Press and the array of poetry and spoken-word readings throughout the region.

Jackie Kellachan, proprietor of the Golden Notebook Bookstore in Woodstock, is a booster of the reading and writing community who sponsors several readings a month at her shop.

Regarding the significance of these events, she says, “The conversations that artists create around their work can sometimes be different from, and as important as, the books themselves. We want our community to be able to participate in those conversations.”

Here are a number of reading series active this fall. Whether you’re looking for open mics, well-established local writers (Abigail Thomas, Beverly D’Onofrio) or celebrity authors (David Sedaris, Neil Gaiman), something on this list will hit the literary spot. Although many series have regular schedules, always check websites in case changes have occurred.

All events are free unless otherwise noted.

AT BASILICASCOPE you can also see the intense Ed Harris play a 19th-century American adventurer who ended up as dictator of Nicaragua in Walker, which Cox made in the midst of the Contra war in 1987 with the support of the Sandinistas.

Eat, bicker, laugh

The Trip to Italy does nothing new, but in a very funny way

O

f late, food porn has leapt off the pages of glossy magazines to constitute a movie genre of its own, successfully manifesting just these past few months in Chef and The 100-Foot Journey. Joining them now on the silver screen is Michael Winterbottom’s The Trip to Italy, a welcome sequel to 2010’s The Trip, both of them originating as BBC sitcoms edited into feature format.

If you saw The Trip, you pretty much know what you’re in for here. I could recite the whole plot without divulging any spoilers, because nothing that happens is any real surprise – nor indeed eventful whatsoever. Plot is not what these movies are about. They’re opportunities for two gifted comedians, Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon, to improvise and riff off one another, playing characters who are not-so-loosely based on their own personalities. Both are well-known in Britain but not so much on this side of the Pond, except for the enhanced visibility conferred by Coogan’s portrayal of Martin Sixsmith in last year’s surprise hit Philomena.

The Trip and The Trip to Italy are both a bit like My Dinner with Andre, only with less philosophy, a lot more photogenic food, spectacular scenery breaks in between courses and two Wallace Shawns – or perhaps one full Wallace Shawn (Brydon) and one half-Wally, halfAndre Gregory (Coogan) would be more accurate. Most of the screentime consists of extended conversations over dinner, in which the odd couple, ostensibly on assignment to review high-end restaurants, talk about their middle-aged lives, bicker over which of them is more

talented and nearly always devolve into a competition of celebrity impressions.

Both of these comic actors started their careers as impressionists, and both are uncommonly good at it. But Brydon is portrayed as being quite comfortable with that, and with his consistent ability to get the sort of work that the more pretentious Coogan regards as slumming: voiceovers for commercials, cartoons, videogames.

And consequently – in the first film, at least – Brydon seems the more content of the two, untempted by the women he meets on this boys’ week out, daily seeking a spot in the wilds of northern England with good enough cellular reception to check in with his wife and new baby.

Coogan, by contrast, sees himself as more of an artiste than his traveling companion, and loses no opportunity to drop a mention of his growing stack of BAFTA awards (ironically, only Brydon of the two has as yet been conferred an MBE by the Queen in real life). But the movie roles that he gets offered tend to be disappointingly minor, and he’s mostly known for his sitcom character Alan Partridge, a narcissistic and shallow sports commentator. He’s also divorced and

doesn’t see much of his son. Consequently, movie-Coogan is bitter, spiteful and reflexively competitive with his friend Brydon.

He’s also a compulsive skirt-chaser, with a surprising degree of success at ending the gourmet dinners of his Yorkshire Dales/ Lake District tour in the first film with one-night stands (while Brydon wanders around outdoors trying to get some bars on his cellphone). But in the three years that have elapsed by the time Rob and Steve head to Italy, Coogan has not aged well, and the younger women he desires are starting to look straight through him. Meanwhile, Brydon blunders into an unexpectedly enjoyable opportunity for adultery with a deckhand on a sailing trip to a beach resort once home to Percy Bysshe Shelley, and the men’s roles are reversed. Rob starts questioning his commitment to his previously happy marriage, while Steve is suddenly inspired to rescue his son, now 16, from a long boring summer at his Mum’s.

That’s about it, storywise. Watching The Trip to Italy, you will drool over the exquisitely presented meals, want desperately to wander the craggy Ligurian coastline and wonder how to get a gig like that, where your employer pays your extravagant travel and meal expenses. But mostly you will laugh a lot. As the pair set out on their journey, Brydon swears not to lapse into doing impressions constantly, and breaks that promise almost immediately. And in spite of his pose that such low humor is beneath his loftier thespian gifts, Coogan can never resist the temptation to try to one-up his companion’s impressions.

This competitive dynamic inevitably leads to inspired flights of hilarity, many of them taking off where their impressions of the same characters – Michael Caine, Sean Connery, Woody Allen among them – left off in the first film. Their extended riff on Caine as Alfred the butler lecturing Batman will leave you breathless with silliness, and listening to a couple of decidedly goyish Brits channel Allen is a bizarre experience. Truth be told, for all of Coogan’s repeated insistence that his friend isn’t doing so-and-so’s voice right, the less-famous Brydon proves himself the superior impressionist by a hair. His Hugh Grant is so spot-on that the rather homely, acne-scarred Welshman even looks like upper-class prettyboy Grant whenever he’s

doing the voice. It’s transcendent.

For these moments, seeing The Trip to Italy is well-worth your time. There are no chases, no fights, no explosions, no shocking plot twists, no high drama.

But there are laughs aplenty. And as far as I’m concerned, these blokes can go on making unsurprising sequels, with different scenery each time, for as long as they like.

Ski swap sales get underway at Potter Brothers I am delighted to tell you that this season’s annual Potter Brothers swap sales begin this weekend, and they are a terrific way to save money. Even if you don’t ski or snowboard, the sale bins of winter accessories alone make it worth it to stop by.

Years ago, because my family was so new to snow sports, I initially dragged my feet about going to this sale, but my friend Eugenia practically drove me there herself, insisting that I check it out. When I realized that it was cheaper to buy used gear than to rent the same equipment, I finally “got it” and have gone back ever since! From ski and snowboard boots to poles to hats and gloves to helmets, even new and pre-owned jackets for kids and adults, I save a bundle every time I stop, and I get good help from the staff with my (many) questions.

The swap gets additional pre-owned items all weekend long, so it can be worth a second trip if you don’t find what you’re looking for earlier on. In our area, the Potter Brothers Swap & Sell events take place in Fishkill on Friday, September 19 from 2 to 8 p.m., Saturday, September 20 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday, September 21 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; and in Kingston on Friday, September 26 from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., Saturday, September 27 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday, September 28 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Potter Brothers in Fishkill is located at 1083 Route 9; Potter Brothers in Kingston is located at 57 City View Terrace. For more information call the Fishkill store at (845) 297-2941 or the Kingston store at (845) 338-5119, or visit www.potterbrothers. com.

Here are some Hudson River Valley Ramble highlights, from www.hudsonrivervalleyramble.com.

Hudson Valley Harvest Festival at Ulster County Fairgrounds It’s the time of year that you are so busy. Also, fresh local corn is on the way out. Good news: I learned an excellent tip from my husband that can help you to maximize your time in preparing this last corn of the season. Take the corn out of the bag asis, the way you bought it, husk and all, and just stick it in the microwave for three-and-a-half minutes. Then cut off the widest point of the stem end.

Next, holding the silk end, squeeze your ear of corn out of the husk. It slides out right onto the plate, ready to eat: no time-consuming shucking or removing stubborn ribbons of silk fibers. It’s magical!

Speaking of corn, make time this weekend to attend the third annual Hudson Valley Harvest Festival, which takes place on Saturday, September 20 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and on Sunday, September 21 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Admission costs $5 per day, and ages 5 and under get in free. In addition to a ton of activities in the children’s area all day long on both days, there’s a Touch-a-Truck on Sunday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., a huge farmers’ market, live music, vendors and some great contests to enter.

Pickles and Jams takes place on Saturday, September 20, and entries must be received at the Ulster Fairgrounds Youth Building between 10 and 11 a.m.

Erica Chase-Salerno just learned that soccer cleats have two top spikes at the toe, versus soft/baseball cleats that have one spike. As a result, soccer cleats may be worn for ball games, but not vice versa, due to the risk of injury from a kick with that front spike.

ALMANAC WEEKLY

Dare to dream Nicole Quinn reads from new YA dystopian novel in New Paltz

Local filmmaker and writer Nicole Quinn likes kick-ass heroines. In her new dystopian novel Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a Nightmare, she tells the futuristic story of Mina, a character whom she calls a brave, empathetic, critical thinker who just wants to be normal in a society gone cataclysmic, freaky. Found inside a willow tree, the girl stands out (not a good thing) amidst the others. She runs and jumps and asks dangerous questions. And she can dream in a world that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow such nonsense. Only nightmares are legal.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a Nightmare is set way too far in the future â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a million years â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to fathom. Earth is a one-continent world called Blinkin. God and his Devil have become the Night Mare and the Dream Weaver. Into this strange world, where human females are kept as cattle and are licensed as domestic pets,

the rogue Dream Weaver Mina emerges. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Minaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story was born at the Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s International Film Festival in Miami, Florida, 2008,â&#x20AC;? says Quinn (pictured above in the photo by Jen May). â&#x20AC;&#x153;The trailer for the winning International documentary featured hundreds of colorful cloth bundles clogging a two-river swirl, somewhere in India. The crawl on the screen informed the audience that the bundles were the shrouded bodies of castoff baby girls. I was suitably horrified.â&#x20AC;?

As a consummate storyteller, however, she considered tweaking the tale so that the reason that mothers throw their baby girls into the water becomes evident: to save their lives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wondered how we might use this story to start a deeper conversation about the gender war escalating around us every day.â&#x20AC;?

Enter the K-A heroine, who knows that in order to effect change, she must do something, and probably something illegal. Something heroic. Quinn has invented a character who is not a damsel in distress or a victim: Mina is one amongst women who does not dream of rescue, but of rescuing herself instead.

Young people in dystopian tales â&#x20AC;&#x201C; think This Perfect Day and The Giver â&#x20AC;&#x201C; are always up to no good that is in actuality great, reordering good. They are the ones who act out and take risks and bring attention to societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dire wrongs. This is a familiar theme, one that might indicate a distinct lack of gumption on the part of

September 18, 2014

complacent adult characters.

The author credits her attraction to recalcitrant females to having grown up in a girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; finishing school where nuns taught them all how to behave in a world ruled by men. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They also taught us how to learn. They taught us to think. By the time the dogma was supposed to have taken root, my kick-ass heroines had discovered that there was another way: First, do no harm. Then do what you want without waiting for permission. I think that the dystopian novel is most certainly a warning,â&#x20AC;? Quinn says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a cautionary tale. Minaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a mother. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all women, when they choose to live proactively in a world designed to keep them in a reactive place.â&#x20AC;?

Quinn is also a mother, and a writer, director and actor. She has written for HBO, Showtime and network television.

Audiobooks narrated by Quinn include Desiree, Hawk of May and The Queen of Last Hopes: The Story of Margaret of Anjou. She wrote and directed the feature film Racing Daylight starring Melissa Leo and David Strathairn, a work that won Best USA Feature at the Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s International Film Festival.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a Nightmare is the first book in the Gold Stone Girl Trilogy. Quinn will appear at Inquiring Minds at 6 Church Street in New Paltz on Friday, September 19 at 7 p.m. Call (845) 255-8300 for more information. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Ann Hutton

Reception with porcelain-painter Paola Bari in Poughkeepsie Zimmer Brothers jewelers will host a meet-the-artist event for New Yorkbased porcelain- painter Paola Bari on Thursday, September 18 from 4 to 8 p.m. at its store at 39 Raymond Avenue in Poughkeepsie.

NIGHT SKY

Last Friday’s aurora

L

How to see one for sure

ast week a powerful X-class solar flare erupted smack in the middle of the Sun. It was optimally positioned to affect Earth. We broadcast live solar views the next day on our community observatory, while the mass media correctly warned of an impending aurora.

Sure enough, last Friday night we got one.

What’s that, you say? You looked and saw nothing? That’s because last Friday’s aurora only amounted to a bright glow in the northwest. A few low subtle streaks came and went. Later the Moon rose, and its light on high streaky cirrus clouds confused the whole thing. You would have had to be north of Montreal to see an aurora well.

That’s what auroras do: They can appear as a simple glow. It may be confined to the lower northwestern sky – the favored aurora direction. Or it can materialize as leisurely lines, streaks or arcs that may either be limited to the low northern sky or the whole northern sky or the overhead sky or the entire sky. Or the patterns may change rapidly: They may flicker. They may go from arcs to rays to pulsating blotches. If there’s a color, it’s pale green. But in 2001, our region saw blood-red auroras – which are usually large blotches, and quite rare.

Longtime residents have seen amazing displays around here. There was the all-night, full-sky spectacle on March 13, 1989, and vivid evening displays in the autumns of 2000 and 2001, and a bunch of others too.

So we’re hooked and psyched. How can we make it happen?

If you want near-certainty, join the Alaska tour that I run for the Old Farmer’s Almanac every year. Go to http://specialinteresttours.com and sign up. It’s cheap, its fun and we’ve never yet failed to see great auroras since the early ’90s (knock on wood).

But if you have patience, you’ll eventually see one from your backyard, right here. That’s because we already live outside bright city lights. What we need to happen simultaneously are clear skies two to three days after a major solar eruption that has occurred in the Sun’s center or a bit to the right of center. We also need the Moon to be skinny or absent.

We need all of those things to happen.

Many locals remember the all-night, full-sky spectacle on March 13, 1989, and vivid evening displays in the autumns of 2000 and 2001.

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

Bulbous no-nos Why I plant my garlic earlier than recommended

I

nto the ground goes the stinking rose. That’s garlic. As a matter of fact, by the time you read this, my garlic cloves will have been in the ground for a while – since the beginning of the month – already sending roots out into the soft earth.

Planting garlic this early is sacrilege in most garlic circles. But it may make sense.

Garlic needs a period of cool weather, with temperatures in the 40s, to develop heads.

Without that cool period, a planted clove merely grows larger, without multiplying – which is why it’s planted in fall. Springplanted garlic might still get sufficiently chilled, or needs to be artificially chilled, but yields are generally are lower than fallplanted garlic.

Lower yields could also be because the cloves, planted in spring, must put energy into growing both leaves and roots.

Roots grow whenever soil temperatures are above 40 degrees Fahrenheit, so fall-planted cloves start growing roots immediately – and for quite a while, because, with the ground cooling more slowly than the air, balmy weather lingers long in the soil in fall, especially when it’s covered with an insulating layer of wood chips, compost, straw or other organic mulch.

My reasoning for late-summer planting rather than fall planting is that the sooner the bulbs are in the ground, the more time roots have to grow before

temperatures drop consistently below 40 degrees. More root growth now means more roots to fuel leaf growth in spring, which in turn means bigger heads to harvest next summer. More root growth also means that cloves are more firmly anchored into the ground through winter, so are less likely to heave up and out of the ground as it freezes and thaws.

The caution against planting as early as I suggest is that leaves might awaken and push up through the ground in fall, only to be snuffed out by winter cold. True.

But garlic is a monocotyledonous plant, so its growing point, like that of other “monocots” (such as lilies, onions, grasses, orchids and bananas), lies beneath the ground, protected from cold. The usual recommendation for garlic planting is to plant early enough to allow time for some root growth, but late enough so that leaves don’t appear aboveground.

Leaves peering aboveground in fall might even help spur root growth – at least once they start exporting energy.

(Their initial growth is fueled by energy reserves in the planted clove.) Even if winter cold kills the leaves, they will have done some good if they begin growth soon enough. The sloppy mess of frozen leaves could, admittedly, breed unwelcome bacteria or fungi.

Biological systems are complex, and plants don’t read what I write and may not follow my reasoning. Just to check,

ANDREA BARRIST STERN

Almanac Weekly’s Night Sky columnist Bob Berman in his observatory in Willow

Oh, and one more thing: After a solar eruption, the angry swarm of plasma heading our way has its own magnetic field, and will only transfer its energy to Earth if it’s aligned opposite to our planet’s magnetism. It’s a 50/50 crapshoot. We won’t know until it sweeps past the Ace spacecraft located a million miles sunward of us. These instruments, called SWEPAM, physically measure the particles. So go to www.swpc.noaa.gov/ace/ MAG_SWEPAM_24h.html and check out the real-time graphs.

Here’s how to read it: When the solar material hits the spacecraft, the graph of the particle speed will jump up from a background of about 300 kilometers per second up to something like 800. The particle density graph will also jump up from around 10 to perhaps 100. Equally importantly, the topmost white tracing should be located on the top part of the topmost graph; this indicates the correct polarity for an aurora. A few hours after hitting that spacecraft, it will arrive here.

Another website that I use is the Geophysical Institute, whose aurora predictions are fairly accurate. Go to http://auroraforecast.gi.alaska.edu. Look at their maps.

Unfortunately for us, even if they predict a Level 5 aurora – a “high” activity rank, which is what happened last Friday – that won’t be enough to make the aurora oval migrate sufficiently southward to reach us here. We usually experience a Level 5 as a low glow only. So you’re looking for a prediction of a 6 or even a 7. These are quite rare.

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.

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.

SERIOUSLY?

Being “serious” in real estate is knowing how to get attention for the homes you represent. It’s gratifying that the (handsome) caricature of me in my ads has caused such a stir across the region. We receive an unprecedented number of comments that our ads are enjoyable to read and interesting. We owe it all to the Aflac Duck, the Geico Gecko, the Travelocity Gnome, the Michelin Tire Man and so many MULTIBILLION dollar companies that have realized it is a good thing to inject humor and a recognizable icon into their promotions; and it works, boy does it work! So put yourselves in our hands, we know how to get attention for your home, we know how to find the right homes for you, and we do it with good humor and a smile, seriously.

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 otherWe 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)758-1170. Spots are $12-$35.

ALMANAC WEEKLY

September 18, 2014

Did you know the ULSTER COUNTY SPCA has GUINEA PIGS?? HARMONY & PRECIOUS are sweet guinea pigs. They’re low maintenance, full of funny squeaks & noises, great for kids & homes where dog/cat allergies are an issue. If you’d like the company of a PARAKEET, we have one just for you!! We also have a new BUNNY! HONEY BUNNY is the newest addition to our group.

Young, fluffy female w/light brown markings; she’s shy & so sweet. Also, we’ve got more Flemish Giant Rabbits than you can shake a carrot at! We’ve got them in white, brown & black. Of course we have DOGS! Newest arrivals are KARMA & BELLE, 8-year old mixed breeds- We’d love to home these 2 playful companions together. They like to run, hike & play. Selective w/other dogs, so a house to themselves would be ideal. RAKU & KEIKO; 9-months old, these Lab mix puppies are a ball of energy & fun!

1 is brown/white, the other is black/white.

They’d be great for someone who needs a hiking or running companion. MACY; beautiful 2.5-year old shepherd mix. Needs a fencedin yard to strut her stuff. The following dogs are still hoping you will meet them, fall in love & take them home; TROOPER; 2-year old mixed breed, high energy & full of love to give; great jogging companion. YANNI & SADIE; 2 cute 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 & SHEBA are also here waiting for just the right families. And last but absolutely, not least, these are some of our glorious CATS. Meet Collette, spayed 4-year old female, brown w/tiger stripes.

Comida, 5-year old female w/a sad face but a happy disposition. Got a thing for cats named after fish? We’ve got Clownfish, Starfish, Suckerfish, Koi & Beta. Dolly; small & shy but once you take a chance & get to know her, you won’t regret it. Oreo, black/white like the cookie, and w/a love for lounging on the cat scratching post. SANCHO; White/ black male, neutered, very friendly, loves

to find a bed & sleep the day away. TORO; Black/white neutered male w/a lion haircut.

Friendly enough to earn the title of lobby cat, he’s been greeting visitors at the shelter for some time. SADE; adorable grey tabby kitten has a neurological condition which makes her a bit clumsy (aren’t we all?). She’s happy, healthy & involves no more care than any other wonderful kitty. She’s ready to go to a loving home today. Not a climber except to climb into your heart. Goosfrahbah; big boy who’s as sweet as he is handsome. White w/ beautiful tabby markings. AUSTIN; Another cat friendly enough to roam the lobby & mingle w/the public, referred to around these parts as the “lobby otter” for his outgoing personality & striking resemblance to an otter! An older gentleman, who’s neutered & great w/other cats. VICTORIA, RAVEN & HAMMERJAW are still looking for loving homes. COME SEE US and all of our other friends at the ULSTER COUNTY SPCA, 20 Wiedy Road, Kingston (off of the traffic circle). Open 6 days a week; 11:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. (closed on Mondays.) (845)331-5377.

About 8-weeks old, no more fleas, his long orange & white fur is growing back beautifully & his furry tail is becoming fuller every day. He’s been living w/his adoring foster mom for 6 weeks & is now ready for his forever home. He’s up to date w/vaccinations, has been health checked & is litter pan trained.
