CHECK IT OUT Mount Tremper Arts hosts choreographer Christopher Williams New York City-based choreographer Christopher Williams has been an artist-in-residence at Mount Tremper Arts during the month of November, creating and rehearsing dance sequences for an opera production at the Opéra National de Bordeaux in

France. On Sunday, November 23 at 7 p.m., visitors will have the opportunity to see excerpts of the new work-inprogress by Williams and his dancers at a free Open Studio event. In this informal showing, he will share these new dances-in-progress as well as discuss the larger work: a rarely seen opera by 18th-century French composer Jean-Philippe Rameau. Following the performance will be a question-andanswer session with Williams. No

reservation is necessary. Located in the Catskill Mountains between Woodstock and Phoenicia, Mount Tremper Arts is an artist-run multidisciplinary arts center that supports contemporary artists in the creation and presentation of new works of art. Artistic director and photographer Mathew Pokoik, who co-founded the center in 2008 with choreographer Aynsley Vandenbroucke, has called it “a kind of a laboratory” for the contemporary artists who come there to work – all about “the dialogue between the disciplines and fostering innovation and experimentation.” The center acts as an incubator for performing artists who work in creative development residencies, generating ideas and rehearsing new works that will come to life on stages all around the world. Williams is multidisciplinary himself: a choreographer, dancer and puppeteer who is known for working in a style that mingles experimental dance with visual art, puppetry, poetry and live music. His work is infused with historical literature, folklore and mythology reimagined in a contemporary context. He has been working in New York City and abroad since 1999, touring France,

Season of love

SUNY-New Paltz Theatre Department stages Rent this weekend

f you led anything resembling a Bohemian lifestyle in New York City in the last couple of decades of the 20th century, watching people you knew drop like flies from AIDS was pretty much unavoidable. The musical Rent, which adapted the plot and characters of Puccini’s La Bohème from 1840s Paris’ Latin Quarter to Alphabet City circa 1990, so perfectly captured the Gen X zeitgeist that it became a massive Broadway success in 1996.

That production won a New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award, six Drama Desk Awards, three Obies, four Tonys and even a Pulitzer. The sudden and ironic death of author/lyricist/composer Jonathan Larson (from a cardiac defect, not AIDS) just a few weeks before the show’s OffBroadway premiere added a level of buzz that – along with the availability of $20 seats for those willing to wait on a long line – spawned an army of young theater aficionados known as Rent-heads who came back to see it over and over again. Time has moved on, HIV-positive folks are living longer, more normal lives and poor 20-somethings are more likely to move back in with their parents until their college loans are paid off than to squat in abandoned lofts on the Lower East Side. And as the original crop of Rent-heads mature, they may find their tolerance growing thin for the play’s angsty bickering of commitment-phobic couples whilst their friends are dying around them. But the role of heroin addiction in the plot as both a vector for the disease and a palliative for sore hearts has, sadly, taken on new resonance for today’s youth as use of the drug skyrockets, even in rural communities where it was previously uncommon. The Department of Theatre Arts at SUNY-New Paltz has mounted a spirited revival of Rent, continuing this weekend, under the direction of department chair Jack Wade; and a whole page of the playbill is devoted to a discussion of the “troubling trend” of increasing usage of opiates by teens in the Hudson Valley, along with the mind-numbing allure of heroin to the characters in the play. So it seems to be the right time, two decades on, for this musical to come around again. And since the whole first act happens on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, this is the right time of year for a new production as well. Like the predecessor a generation before to which it is often compared, Hair, Rent

BERLANDE MILLUS AS MAUREEN – the singer based on Musetta in the original – delivers the knockout punch, several times over.

is a rock opera, heavy on songs and light on recitative – and for all its downbeat drama, it doesn’t really have much of a plot. Bits of character backstory are tossed off in a line or two of lyrics that will likely fly over your head if you haven’t seen the show a time or two before. It’s enough to know that the main characters, all artsy types, are about to be thrown out of their unheated building by a dastardly former roommate who has sold out and gone into real estate, that they plan to fight the gentrification via guerrilla theater and that about half the cast of characters are HIV-positive. After that it’s mostly a lot of sing, yearn, squabble and die, with the few plot twists advertising their arrival well in advance. For those more familiar with the opera, the big difference is that the original central character, Mimi, has been transformed from a frail, delicate seamstress whose death from consumption anchors the final scene to a rather jaded exotic dancer with AIDS. The spotlight on her tragic end gets purloined by a secondary character, Schaunard, here depicted as a cross-dressing performance artist named Angel. It’s the lighthearted,

luminous Angel who inspires the only uncomplicated true love in the story, and who continually tries to distract the other characters from wallowing in their woes. Though the presence of a guardian angel in their midst doesn’t save anyone from the consequences of their risky behaviors, it does at least ultimately refocus their priorities. S/he’s Rent’s one true stroke of genius, and casting the right actor in the part is crucial to a production’s success. Fortunately, the SUNY revival has found its seraphic center in a student named Diego Velazquez. He can’t claim the strongest male voice in the cast – that would be the Garfunkelesque tenor of Daniel Hurley, who plays Mark, the filmmaker narrator – but Velazquez certainly has the moves and the attitude to be convincing both in a sassy drag number and a contorted, heartbreaking death scene. His performance lifts the whole production to, dare I say, a more celestial level. But for star quality worth watching in terms of her future career, it’s Berlande Millus as Maureen – the singer based on Musetta in the original – who delivers the knockout punch, several times over.

STELLA BY STAGELIGHT Rosendale Theatre screens A Streetcar Named Desire from London’s National Theatre Live on Sunday

his Sunday, November 23, the Rosendale Theatre continues its popular monthly series of encore broadcasts of top British stage productions from National Theatre Live in London with a matinée screening of Tennessee Williams’ A Streetcar Named Desire. The show begins at 3 p.m., and tickets cost $12 general admission, $10 for Rosendale Theatre Collective members. Captured live at the Young Vic theatre in London’s South Bank, this National Theatre presentation features Gillian Anderson (The X-Files, The Fall) as fading star Blanche DuBois, Ben Foster (Lone Survivor, Kill Your Darlings) as the brutal Stanley Kowalski and Vanessa Kirby (BBC’s Great Expectations, Three Sisters at the Young Vic) as Stanley’s long-suffering wife/ Blanche’s sister Stella.

don’t even meet her character until nearly the end of the first act; we just hear her reputation as a charismatic heartbreaker bemoaned by others left in Maureen’s wake. The payoff of Millus’ grand entrance in “Over the Moon,” punctuated with throaty howls and growls, along with her feisty duet in Act II with her on-again, offagain lover Joanne (Jenny Berger, also in fine voice), is worth every bit of the long buildup. The rest of the ensemble is strong as well, making good use with Wade’s direction and Joe Langworth’s choreography of an ingenious multilevel set designed by student Dana Weintraub. Tucked away behind a scrim in one of the “tenements,” right onstage, an excellent six-piece pit orchestra pulls all the action together and propels it insistently with tunes in a variety of musical styles, with the soul/R&B-tinged numbers standing out especially. Rent continues onstage at McKenna Theatre on the SUNY-New Paltz campus this Thursday through Saturday, November 20 to 22, beginning at 8 p.m., with a 2 p.m. matinée this Sunday, November 23. Tickets cost $20 general admission, $18 for seniors (62+), SUNYNew Paltz faculty and staff and nonSUNY-New Paltz students and $10 for SUNY-New Paltz students.

1994’s Grace, released three years before Buckley’s untimely death by drowning in the Mississippi River, remains the one complete musical statement by this obscenely talented New York scenester and his great band.

Amazing Grace ETHEL string quartet performs tribute to landmark Jeff Buckley’s album at Hudson Opera House

he world didn’t get enough of Jeff Buckley, as a stream of unfinished work, outtakes and unearthed live sessions attests. 1994’s Grace, released three years before Buckley’s untimely death by drowning in the Mississippi River, remains the one complete musical statement by this obscenely talented New York scenester and his great band. On it, Buckley owns for all time Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” (igniting an appreciation of the Canadian Bard amongst generations who might have otherwise have been oblivious, so don’t feel too bad for Leonard). Buckley’s proggy, dreamy and stormy originals, such as “Mojo Pin,” the title track, “So Real” and the exquisite album-closing “Dream Brother,” have become unlikely standards in their own right, and the playing of the lustrous, dynamic, powerful band had an immediate influence on the sound and sensibility of Radiohead and subsequently on generations of artrockers and highly emotive vocalists. The influence of Grace cannot be overestimated. Enter ETHEL, the pioneering postclassical string quartet that makes its first appearance in Hudson at the Hudson Opera House as part of the Classics on Hudson’s inaugural season on Saturday, November 22 at 7 p.m. Often referred to as the “string quartet that sometimes thinks it’s a rock band,” ETHEL performs

like haunted jazz. “Keeper” and the schizwaltzy “Nowhere” are both among the slowest songs here, and also the hardestrocking. Pecas has never sounded quite so light on its feet. Davis delivers her grade-A earworm melodies in a wispy multitracked voice that turns out to be surprisingly stout amidst all the layers of dream and dwell, the heavily effected guitars, pianos, xylophones and the enveloping reverb that heightens everything. As anyone who has ever cranked the mix knob on a reverb unit knows, the sound is seductive but the risk of ambient hangover is great, over-dwelling and the musical mush that it creates. In her role as producer and engineer, Davis handles that fine line expertly; the immersive dream ambiance never falters, but never quite swallows the music either. And the lyrics – yes, they dwell too, on themes of ambivalence, identity confusion and the blurring boundaries of selves awash in relationships. Standing out amidst the crafty blur of Davis’ watery lyrics is the absolute gem of “All I’ve

Akiko Kamigawara playing on Tinker Street in Woodstock

MUSIC

Hear violinist Akiko Kamigawara in Poughkeepsie on Sunday

n September, I heard violinist Akiko Kamigawara playing unaccompanied Bach in front of a Woodstock drugstore. The chance encounter led to an article in our sister paper Woodstock Times on the young violinist, who was born in Japan, studied there and in Europe and is now living near Woodstock. Within a week of the article, Kamigawara was playing in the first violin section of the Woodstock Chamber Orchestra. At the time, she spoke about street performances: “I always do my best when I play the violin,” she said, “even outdoors. I’ve learned many things from street performances. But I miss giving a concert ‘under the roof,’ where I find it’s a more appropriate place to share deep musical ideas with an audience.” On Sunday, November 23 at 3 p.m., Kamigawara will make her Hudson Valley area “under the roof ” debut at the Holy Trinity Church in Poughkeepsie. The concert – part of the “Afternoon with the Classics” series at the church – will be a challenging recital of music for unaccompanied violin. Kamigawara’s program includes one of the Fantasies for unaccompanied violin by Telemann, Astor Piazzolla’s Tango Étude and Alan Ridout’s Ferdinand the Bull for violin and narrator. And the centerpiece will be Bach’s great Partita No. 2 for solo violin, which includes the famous “Chaconne.” The weather in Woodstock is no longer welcoming for outdoor violin-playing. But for those who have heard her skillful outdoor performances, the opportunity to hear Akiko Kamigawara indoors will be a rare treat. – Leslie Gerber Akiko Kamigawara solo violin recital, Sunday, November 23, 3 p.m., $25/$10/$5, Holy Trinity Church, 775 Main Street, Poughkeepsie; (845) 471-0520, www.holytrinitypoughkeepsie.com.

Pecas CD release show at Rosendale’s Market Market

to refer to the New Paltz-area farmhouse sketched on the CD’s back cover, the ambiguities and subtleties of the word “dwelling” serve the music of Pecas extremely well. The verb “to dwell” is stationary but not static. It implies action in place: a welling motion and emotion within a fixed enclosure. To dwell is to linger, accumulate and intensify as an act of intention or of deepening obsession. These eight songs dwell and linger like nobody’s business, but they move, cycle and develop constantly, growing gradually in lush ambiance like flora in a Petri dish. Davis gently tends to single ideas and lively, animated musical patterns until they

blossom in place into countermelodies and flourishes of polyrhythm and harmony: dreamy, yes, from beginning to end, but driven with great underground subtlety and worldbeat buoyancy by various notable local drummers (Davis handles most of the other instruments by herself ). The delightful “All I’ve Got” and “Taming a Human” feature subtle Afropop inflections. “Dear Ghost” moves

Got,â&#x20AC;? a tipsy song about acquiescing to the accidents of love, and one that you will want to sing to someone special right away. Dwelling is pretty close to a true solo album (and a wildly impressive one at that), but when Davis debuts the CD at Market Market in Rosendale on Saturday, November 22, she will introduce the Pecas live lineup: a six-piece ensemble drawn, in part, from the notable producer Kevin McMahonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supersized indie supergroup Pelican Movement, of which Davis is a member. The nationally known, McMahon-produced group Widowspeak is on the bill, as is Kate Larsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s terrific auto-bio-pop duo Guilt Mountain. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; John Burdick Pecas CD release show with Widsowspeak & Guilt Mountain, Saturday, November 22, 10 p.m., Market Market, 1 Madeline Lane, Rosendale; www.marketmarketcafe.com.

The hour-long program will take place on November 23 at 3 p.m.Â in the sanctuary of Christâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lutheran Church at 26 Mill Hill Road in Woodstock. Some of these songs are based on well-known shape-note tunes that are familiar to anyone who has listened to or participated in Sacred Harp sings. The 17th- and 18th- century tunes and harmonies have a long history in Woodstock. Lewis Edson, one of the most popular singing masters of the day, lived in Mink Hollow and was a member of the Lutheran Church. Admission to the concert is free. Donations will be sent to the Crossroads Springs school and orphanage in Hamisi, Kenya. Donations will be matched by the Hudson Valley Chapter of Thrivent Financial.

Javelin plays BSP in Kingston on Friday

n EP1Â¸ EP2 and their first full-length on the prestigious Luaka Bop label No Mas, the Brooklyn electro-trickster duo Javelin demonstrated the full range of a coherent-if-cluttered musical/cultural language. Like Beck, early Javelin leans heavily on Space Age â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70s funk colored with a bit of streetcorner hip and surreal sound warping, along with a fair helping of trite-pop and intentional chintz.Â It is tempting to call Javelinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s early work a pastiche of references, because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what it would be if someone else were making it. But besides a basic retro groove kit and a soundset heavy on Farfisas and other iconic period samples, Javelinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s default sound is not terribly referential or recombinant at all. It is its own surreal, playful, groovy thing that just happens to share a set of tools with the culture thieves. What lyrics there are are half-lit and smeared, poking their head out into clarity only occasionally, often through the strikingly frequent use of childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s voices (both actual and pitch-sifted). In the great BK paradox, lyrical obfuscation, either through obscured production or obscured language, has become a safe norm, accepted if not expected, and the stepping-out into a declamatory clarity is the radical move. 2013â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hi Beams is, beyond a doubt, Javelinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s radical move. The knowingly titled Hi Beams offers a global brightening, enlargement and decluttering of Javelinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sound. The discrete elements are sparkling and big â&#x20AC;&#x201C; crushing guitars, fanfare synths â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the compositional moves are bold and simplified, sharing in the synth-chestral luster of Animal Collectiveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s poppier side. This most of all: The lyrics are right there at the center of the hi beam, naked for your examination. Javelinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s days of sonic obfuscation and lyrical smearing are over, for the time being, and this intention is announced in the most direct way possible in track one, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Light Out,â&#x20AC;? in which the phrase â&#x20AC;&#x153;put your light outâ&#x20AC;? is flipped in meaning to say, in essence, that it is now your turn to step to the front and shine, over bright synths, orchestral bells and a martial snare beat. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a stirring overture to a stirring record. Clarity is always for better or for worse, in sickness and in health. For all its aesthetic legitimacy, obscurity usually serves some self-protective psychological purposes as well, and dropping the veil is no guarantee that youÂ have something important to show behind it. But clarity of purpose and a bold sharpening of musical concept serve Javelin extremely well across Hi Beamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ten lustrous tracks. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a coming-out party â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean that Javelinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next release wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be a crawling-back-under party. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; John Burdick Javelin, PWR BTTM & Photay, Friday, November 21, 9:30 p.m., $12/$10, BSP, 323 Wall Street, Kingston; www.bspkingston.com.

Chuck Prophetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of those musicians who ends up drawing respect wherever he goes, yet touring smaller intimate clubs such as Hudsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fabulous Helsinki.

Gehry gone wild

What might happen if a performing arts center temporarily reimagined itself as an art museum?

ust as visual art media have moved together over recent decades, so the various types of arts, from literary and performative to visual and musical, are blending now as well – as are the venues set aside, in past times, for our cultural pursuits. “What might happen if a performing arts center temporarily reimagined itself as an art museum?” runs the central tenet of the new temporary exhibition of performance and installation work by six major American artists running as “The House Is Open” in Bard College’s grand Fisher Center this Thursday through Sunday, November 20 to 23. “The visual arts world has increasingly been inviting performance into its museums and galleries. ‘ The House Is Open’ is briefly and playfully reversing that trend: A major performing arts center is transforming itself into a site for installation,” notes exhibit curator Gideon Lester, director of theater programs at Bard. “We’re curious to see what we, the public and the exhibition’s artists will learn from this experiment.” Throughout the show’s four days, audiences will be directed to discover installations and performances in parts of

FESTIVAL

Iconic celebration Greek Festival this weekend at Saint George’s Church in Kingston

or the past 25 years, Saint George’s Greek Orthodox Church has opened its doors to the Kingston community to celebrate the oncoming holidays with a festival that highlights all things Greek – we’re talking: a variety of traditional homemade edibles and pastries, along with a fabulous craft boutique and gift fair. The fun begins on Friday evening and doesn’t stop until well after sundown on Sunday. Festivities take place in the downstairs social hall. Upstairs in the sanctuary, the Orthodox liturgy has been held for parishioners at Saint George’s for 50 years, and the local church has helped to establish two other local parishes, one in Poughkeepsie and one in Newburgh. Now headed by father Michael Kouremetis, it is committed to serving not only its members but also the greater community. “We’re not just an island unto ourselves,” says Father Michael. “We have a wonderful parish with about 100 families. And we are one big family, helping each other and reaching out into the community wherever we can. Our members do volunteer work and collect food for the food pantry. Our bazaar helps to fund our local ministry. It’s a good festival where we introduce an experience of our Hellenic traditions, our customs and foods, and where we introduce people to our Orthodox faith.” Father Michael is new to Kingston, having moved here last July after serving in the priesthood in Utah and California for the past 38 years. He is delighted to describe the stunning Byzantine panels that frame the Holy of Holies and divide it from the church pews. A massive portrait of Christ dominates the domed ceiling where a circle of windows lets light penetrate the space. A special icon of the martyr Saint George signifies the church’s patron saint. The colorful iconography is both strangely familiar and exotic at the same time. John Yiannias writes, “Anyone who witnesses an Orthodox liturgy for the first time will be struck by its frank appeal to the senses…the chanting and choral singing, the incense, the vestments and ritual movements of the priest and acolytes and the images everywhere around are not mere embellishments. They are integral aspects of the whole liturgical event. They reveal and celebrate its meaning.” Father Michael fairly beams as he talks about his church, which is tucked away above a quiet Kingston neighborhood. “People come by and visit; they sit in church and pray. I think [the congregation] is growing. Most of the parishioners are of

Greek descent. The Greeks have been here for many years.” He adds that they’re “famous for their diners and restaurants.” “We’re here to serve all the Orthodox, not just the Greek; we welcome Russians, Ukrainians, Syrians. In the early Church, we’d take the language of the country that the church was in, so…you have Greek Orthodox, Russian Orthodox. One of my best friends was the first to start a church in Hong Kong.” A brief Church history ensues, as he explains the difference between the Orthodox and Roman Catholic churches. “The Orthodox is a combination of Judeo-Christian traditions, the Old Testament and the New. We can trace our apostolic succession roots back to Christ and the 12 disciples. For the first 1,054 years, we were one church. Then Roman Catholics broke away, and the western Church was established by St. Peter. In the east, the Orthodox Church was established by St. Andrew. We’re ‘first cousins,’ but we’re getting closer,” he says with a hopeful smile. Originally from Gary, Indiana, Father Michael is married with three children and five grandchildren. “In our faith, we have the option to be married before we are ordained. But after you are ordained, you cannot be married then. And all the hierarchs are unmarried.” It’s a point of ecumenical order that floats in a veritable sea of sacred iconography, rituals, holidays and feasts. According to Church history written by reverend Thomas Fitzgerald of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America, each day of the year is set aside for veneration of at least one saint or sacred event. Father Michael describes a carved wooden structure that holds a tapestry embroidered by nuns: an iconic scene of Christ’s burial. “We move it to the center of the church during Holy Week. It gets filled with flowers. It’s beautiful.” This year’s Annual Greek Festival will be his first, and he is eager to “meet and greet” the whole community. – Ann Hutton Annual Greek Festival, Friday, November 21, 4-10 p.m., Saturday, November 22, 10 a.m.-10 p.m., Sunday, November 23, 11 a.m.-8 p.m., Saint George’s Greek Orthodox Church, 294 Greenkill Avenue, Kingston; (845) 331-3522.

Vintage vocals Elaine Rachlin sings cabaret to welcome Beaujolais Nouveau in Rhinecliff

What qualities of voice are evoked when one is compared to Edith Piaf and Billie Holiday? Both divas sang from somewhere below the heart and

reached into the hearts of fans everywhere. They represented the dignity of womanhood as experienced in the grit of life. They sang of love and longing, good times and bad. They touched – and continue to touch – souls through their music. And they became national idols on the world’s stages. To take on such a portentous role, Elaine Rachlin comes to the stage well-schooled. Known as an international chanteuse who has performed far and wide, from venues in New York City such as the Red Blazer, Cajun and Judy’s Cabaret to the Khan club in Jerusalem, she sings in French, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Hebrew and English. As a regular at the Rhinecliff Hotel’s Sunday Jazz Brunch, the multilingual vocalist wows the crowd with American jazz standards, often accompanied by her jazz pianist husband John Halsey. This Friday evening, the duo will appear at the Rhinecliff to celebrate the 2014 Beaujolais Nouveau, an occasion marking the end of the grape-harvest season in France. Once considered a “cheap and cheerful drink” for the folks who worked the vineyards, the completion of the bottling of this fresh, fruity red has become a national cause for fireworks, food and celebration – as if the French were ever known to require a reason. At least 120 such festivals are held in the Beaujolais region on the third Thursday in November each year. The Rhinecliff ’s James and David Chapman are only one day behind schedule in hosting an event that features wine-tastings – Beaujolais Nouveau and more – and other specials, paired with authentic French fare such as escargots, frogs’ legs and onion soup. All will be enjoyed as Rachlin sings “Vive la France” along with various other appropriate selections – French drinking songs to be included, of course. “It will be an allFrench evening of the music done by Edith Piaf, Django Reinhardt and Jacques Brel” she says, and translates a line or two of “Chevaliers de la Table Ronde”: “Taste and see if the wine is good, oui or non. Drink before you die!” Rachlin performs both on guitar and as featured vocalist in hotel and cabaret lounges, at weddings and other special events. She considers singing “a spiritual experience” through which she shares her passion for music with all kinds of audiences, large and small. Her two CDs – one of French, American and Italian jazz standards and one in Hebrew, Ladino and Yiddish – are available for purchase at her performances. Rachlin was born in Brooklyn. Her family moved to Schenectady when she

Continuing her own musical education, she studied guitar (at one point with Erik Darling of the Weavers) and became active as a folksinger. Going pro, however, was a part-time gig.

A tall frosty one that isn’t a snowman Hudson Valley Craft Brew Festival returns to Civic Center this Saturday

eady or not, the barrage of winter holiday hype is beginning to wash over us, including many a reference to “holiday spirits” of the alcoholic sort. Soon it’ll be hard to find a social event to attend whose selection of libations doesn’t revolve around wassail or eggnog, until the champagne corks get popped on New Year’s Eve. Those of us who don’t think of beer as merely a refreshing summer drink are going to have to look around hard for opportunities to quaff our favored brews ere we get dragged down into the punchbowl vortex. Luckily, there’s one more weekend left before Thanksgiving, and the 2014 Hudson Valley Craft Brew Festival will be beaming its yeasty beacon out of the Mid-Hudson Civic Center this Saturday afternoon. At last count, 43 microbreweries are lined up to lure us in, with 100 or so different choices of beers and ales to sample. That might be just enough to tide us over till the obligatory gooey eggnog all gets drunk up. New to the Craft Brew Festival this year will be a section called Cask Alley. Not merely meaning beer on tap, as opposed to bottled, cask beer is a different animal altogether, populated with live yeast and tapped by gravity rather than under pressure through a pump. Here’s how the Festival organizers describe cask beer: “unfiltered beer (usually ale) that is racked (transferred) into casks, krausened (carbonated), sealed and then undergoes a slight final fermentation in the cask. The net result is a beer that has a much gentler level of carbonation, a rounder mouthfeel, and since it is unfiltered, usually shows a slightly more complex flavor and aromatic profile.” If that description sounds enticing, you’re probably a true brew believer. That Bud’s not for you, but this Saturday’s festival likely is. The event runs from 2 to 6 p.m., at a general admission price of $39, but you can get in at 1 p.m. if you’re prepared to spring for the $75 VIP pass, which also includes a food voucher and access to some special limited-edition beers. Designated drivers pay only $10. Purchase tickets online at www.brownpapertickets.com/event/888695.

was still a child, where she listened to her mother, Mary Rachlin, sing on the radio. She attended the then all-female Skidmore College, majoring in French and minoring in Voice, and went on to graduate study in French Theatre and Literature at the Middlebury School of Languages. She recalls earning a D on a French paper and being told to “changer

her major.” This only made her work harder to learn and succeed. Her year in Paris also involved a stint at busking outside French moviehouses. “I made a little extra money by playing my guitar, singing songs and passing the hat for collection,” she says, musing that having to overcome earlier academic challenges gave her the gumption to sing

for her supper, literally. Upon returning stateside, Rachlin taught French to elementary school children, to teens at Great Neck High School and on educational television.

“HALF OF THE OIL STILL HASN’T BEEN REMOVED and is sitting on the bottom of the Gulf – 1,500 to 3,000 feet down – so the deepwater species are the ones that probably will continue to be the most impacted.”

“Ghosts of the Gulf” is an exhibit at the Beacon Institute for Rivers and Estuaries depicting a sampling of marine creatures retrieved from the Gulf by artist and biologist Brandon Ballengée. Pictured above (from left to right) are a guitarfish, shortfin pompano, batfish, triggerfish, parrotfish and pompano.

Deep dilemma Brandon Ballengée’s “Ghosts of the Gulf” exhibition at Beacon Institute

he Deep Water Horizons oil spill of 2010 was one of the world’s worst environmental disasters, one whose effects on the ecosystem of the Gulf of Mexico will be felt for decades. “Ghosts of the Gulf,” an exhibit at the Beacon Institute for Rivers and Estuaries depicting a sampling of marine creatures retrieved from the Gulf by artist and biologist Brandon Ballengée, shows a tiny piece of what’s at stake. The colorful, intricate images of piscine forms – which were made by injecting dead specimens that he found washed up on the beach with red and blue dyes, and then scanning the fish using a highresolution scanner – convey the intricate beauty and variety of the Gulf ’s rich ecosystem. Each specimen is transparent,

with a spectrallike quality that highlights the vulnerability and fragility of these organisms along with the threat of their demise by industrial contaminants. On view at the Institute’s gallery, located on Main Street in Beacon, “Ghosts of the Gulf ” is a compelling example of eco-art. In fact, Ballengée, based in New York City, is one of its most experimental practitioners. He’s an artist whose doctorate in Amphibian Biology enabled him to cross the science/art divide, and his artwork not only seeks to document but also to remedy environmental ills. One project, for example, was an attempt to breed a species of tiny frog from the Congo that is nearly extinct in the wild back to its wild state, using individuals from the pet trade and biomedical labs. As part of his doctoral work in England, he studied deformities in amphibians, publishing the results in the Journal of Experimental Zoology, which received international media attention. “Ghosts of the Gulf ” comes on the heels of several exhibitions concerning the Deep Water Horizons spill. One was a collaboration called “Collapse,” in which more than 25,000 samples, representing 370 species, taken from the Gulf ’s fouled waters were displayed in glass jars arranged in an enormous pyramid (some of the jars filled with water were empty, signifying an extinction). “Collapse” was displayed at the Ronald Feldman Fine Arts Gallery in New York City. The Beacon Institute exhibition was organized by Amy Lipton, a curator with ecoartspace, an international organization founded in California in

1997, representing a community of artists, scientists, curators, writers, nonprofits and businesses that are developing strategies to address environmental issues. Lipton, who formerly worked at galleries in New York City, has curated environmental-themed shows at Art Omi in Ghent, at the Hudson River Museum in Yonkers and at art venues in Philadelphia and Cincinnati. Lipton has been consulting with the Beacon Institute for the past year, and organized a panel discussion last spring in which artists talked about water issues. “I’m trying to push other environmental organizations to take an interest in what artists are doing,” said the curator, who lives near Beacon. This is her first curated show for the Institute, although she has worked with Ballengée on numerous projects. “His focus is on imperiled species, often aquatic, and amphibians in particular,” along with birds, she said. The 15-or-so specimens in the show have not been exhibited before. Lipton noted that Ballengée uses a scanner five times larger than the standard, whose high resolution allows for detailed depiction of the creature’s internal structure. The artist used a similar method in depicting deformed frogs and salamanders affected by pollution. Because the Gulf specimens of fish were collected just after the spill, up through 2012, they appear normal; scientists expect the oil contaminants to affect the morphology of the fish over time. While eco-art is “not a mainstream artworld genre, it’s growing all the time,” said Lipton. “More and more artists are tuning into these concerns as people are becoming more aware of environmental issues, from climate change to water pollution to species decline and imperiled habitats. We do a lot of research to seek out these artists and present their work, either through exhibitions, websites, blogs... We also host educational talks and workshops and panel discussions.” Almanac Weekly’s Lynn Woods recently spoke to artist/scientist Brandan Ballengée, who will give a talk at the Beacon Institute’s reception for “Ghosts of the Gulf ” on Saturday, December 13, from 5-7 p.m. What attracted you to the Gulf project? I’m an artist and biologist, and from a biological standpoint, the Gulf of Mexico is one of the most important ecosystems in the US and the world. It’s the nursery for thousands of dif-

ferent species, and millions of people rely on protein from fish spawned in the Gulf. It’s most unfortunate for an accident of that scale to happen there. I grew up in landlocked Ohio, and as a kid I was attracted to the exotic animals living in the Gulf and the wetlands of Louisiana. My parents took me on a Gulf tour. I caught snakes and a little alligator. It was such a memorable experience, so when I heard about the oil spill I felt a strong impetus to find out more about what was going on and see if there was some way I could help. Where were you based at the time? I was still doing intervening research for my degree in England, which was on amphibians as bioindicators. I was attracted to the idea of working with citizen scientists to train people for conservation research. From these experiences, people gain a stronger appreciation and see how important [the amphibians] are from an ecological standpoint... I’m an expert on amphibians, not fish, but I felt compelled to make artwork about what was happening in the Gulf... The majority of the specimens I collected had washed up onshore following the spill in the late summer of 2010, up through 2012. How did you preserve and photograph them? I preserved each specimen with formaldehyde. I used a red dye, which adheres to the bone, and a blue dye, which adheres to the cartilage. I used a digestive enzyme to make each one transparent. Did you start out as an artist or a scientist? I’ve always done both, but I started out as an artist. As an undergrad in art school, I was always taking science lessons and trying to figure out how to weave the science into my art. Tell us about the species in the Beacon Institute show. It’s a small body of work, and these were the ones that were visually the most engaging. They tell different stories. For example, one is a batfish, which is a deepwater species. Half of the oil still hasn’t been removed and is sitting on the bottom of the Gulf – 1,500 to 3,000 feet down – so the deepwater species are the ones that probably will continue to be the most

impacted. Also because of the use of chemical dispersants, which are not disappearing, the water was made more toxic. It will take years for this to naturally degrade. We don’t know the impact on the food chain. Did you find any deformities in the species you collected? There’s nothing morphological. However, in a side project with shrimp, we saw distinct variations in the fish: deformities linked to the pollution. Oil and pollutants are a continuing presence, so we should not stop being concerned about it and let BP off the hook. I’d like to keep these ideas fresh in people’s minds. The reality is, there’s still so much to research and remediate. Do you worry that something of this magnitude could happen again? Four years later, we haven’t done anything to ensure another accident of this caliber won’t happen again. There’s been no major change in our ability to deal with an oil spill of this scale. We’re still doing business as usual. We need to realize the Gulf is a primary protein supply for millions of people. We have to start asking ourselves, “What’s at risk?” We may have to change just to survive. Have you done any projects related to the Hudson River? Last year I worked with the Sanctuary for Independent Media in Troy, on a site that’s the city’s only beachfront. It’s not a designated Superfund site, but it’s heavily contaminated. Dangerous materials are coming up on the sand, where people play and hang out. It was designated to be a park many years ago, but it was never cleaned up. You’ve shown your work all over the world. How is eco-art received in different countries? The differences are regional and cultural. Over the last 20 years in the UK, there’s been a big crossover with art clients. There’s a strong commitment through education to look at how the arts and sciences work together, as a more complete way to understand the world around us. In

ALMANAC WEEKLY

France it’s more traditional, as it is in Italy and Spain. But in the Netherlands, Belgium and other countries, there are all kinds of art ecology startups, which is part of a larger trend: Human beings are more conscious about environmental issues. Even ten years ago, it was hard to show my work. People would say, “It’s science, not art.” But it’s really changed. The art community is more conscious of environmental issues, and it’s starting to grow. What environmental issue concerns you the most? The thing I’m most passionate about is loss of biodiversity... To think we’re losing species so quickly is horrifying, like a human-induced genocide for the rest of life. We need these other organisms for our own longer-term survival. Do you have hope for the future? There are rays of hope: just the fact we’re having this conversation… People are getting more and more aware of the problems. We need the creativity not just of artists and scientists, but of everyone, to deal with the problems and save these amazing species. The belief by a certain percentage of people that technology will just fix everything is false. In fact, it’s the opposite. We need the support of scientists, IT people, firefighters, schoolteachers, everyone to do this. We’re one global community of citizens figuring out every day how to stop the damage, or at least have less of an impact. The risks weren’t as high ten years ago, and while the problems are getting more and more pressing, changes are happening. Consumer choice is the answer. All of the people theoretically influence the politicians, and stockholders are individuals. Lots of universities and small companies are divesting themselves of fossil-fuel stocks. It comes down to the individual choices each of us make – what we do with our economic resources, including what we eat, how we chose to travel and what we do with the land.

MOVIE

November 20, 2014

DOES RIGGAN REALLY HAVE SUPERPOWERS of levitation, telekinesis, even flight? Or are these just his grandiosity knocking out his better judgment? We’re left to wander backstage and draw conclusions on our own...

Shaggy bird story

Michael Keaton soars above life’s mundane defeats in Birdman

or argument’s sake, let’s start from the basic premise that comic-book superhero movies are, in essence, dumb: the visual-entertainment equivalent of empty calories. They’re crowdpleasers that mint more money than the US government, true; you can’t argue with success. And given cleverly written dialogue and gifted actors like Robert Downey, Jr. or Mark Ruffalo to deliver it with just the right seasoning of world-weary irony, such a movie can be a guilty pleasure even for critics who are usually off reviewing more nutritious cinematic fare. But when you get right down to it, they’re still, by nature and usually by intent, kind of dumb. Now that we’ve settled that, we’re primed to slide into the skewed world of a balding, paunchy former superhero movie star who yearns to make a comeback as a serious stage actor, as portrayed by Michael Keaton in Alejandro González Iñárritu’s Birdman, or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance). From almost the first scene, in which we witness Keaton’s character, Riggan Thomson, apparently levitating in his dressing room while being alternatingly berated and wheedled by the disembodied voice of his erstwhile alter ego Birdman, the film offers viewers little to go on in terms of distinguishing between fantasy and reality. This should surprise no one who has ever seen a movie by González Iñárritu or either of the other “Three Amigos” of contemporary Mexican cinema, Alfonso Cuarón and Guillermo del Toro.

sensibility of their forefather, Luis Buñuel, as well as the magical-realism aesthetic so emblematic of Latin American literature of the past half-century. Impossible things happen in a most matter-of-fact manner, with no visual guideposts like misty filters or shimmery auras to tip us off that the camera has strayed from the realm of the mundane into the unreliable narrative of a c h a r a c t e r ’s overactive imagination, biased perceptions or downright mental illness. Does Riggan really have superpowers of levitation, telekinesis, even flight? Or are these just his grandiosity knocking out his better judgment? We’re left to wander backstage and draw conclusions on our own, now and then passing an unexpectedly situated drummer as the percussion-heavy Antonio Sánchez soundtrack rattles in our heads.

Though it fits squarely into a storytelling tradition, Birdman is more meta than most of its ilk, because the matter with which it grapples is the very distinction (or muddling thereof ) between fantasy and reality as practiced in the arts of stage and screen. An actor, it seems to tell us, straddles two worlds at all times, and the best actors sometimes have difficulty knowing in which one they truly dwell. And on another level, the film wantonly plunders centuries of myth about metamorphosis and flight, identity and integrity, serving up random slices as needed. Even the advance buzz for this film was meta. In the runup to Birdman’s release, much was made of the fact that Keaton himself has had some difficulty reestablishing his career as more than a comic actor after playing the title role in Tim Burton’s two Batman movies in 1989 and 1992. The casting may have been more than coincidence; but Keaton’s performance is so visceral, so risky, so devoid of any taint of personal vanity that he completely validates the director’s choice of him to embody the role. It’s a lifetime highwater mark for the actor, and I wouldn’t be too surprised to see him in the running for an Oscar nod this year. The down side to Birdman is that none of the supporting characters is quite so thoughtfully fleshed out as the lead, and one – a vicious New York Times theater critic gamely assayed by Lindsay Duncan – is so thin as to approach caricature. Most members of the talented cast give these underdeveloped roles their best shot nonetheless, notably Edward Norton and Naomi Watts as actors in Riggan’s starcrossed stage adaptation of a Raymond Carver short story, Emma Stone as his embittered daughter and Amy Ryan as his still-supportive ex-wife. Even Zach Galifianakis manages to rise above his usual pottymouthed man/boy schtik to carry off a mostly serious portrayal of Riggan’s best friend and attorney. Besides outstanding acting and puckish direction, Birdman’s chief attraction is Emmanuel Lubezki’s astonishing cinematography. Through the use of long

tracking shots seamlessly grafted together via extremely skilled editing techniques, the illusion is created that we are walking with the actors down endless labyrinthine corridors in real time, without a break. Here again the question is raised: What is real and what is fanciful, and how much does it really matter in this harsh world? Birdman takes a dark and ironic view of human foibles, especially the egocentrism of actors, and doesn’t offer much realworld hope for the friends and family who become the collateral damage in their wake. Its ultimate message seems to be that, since life usually sucks and anything that can possibly go wrong will, escape into the fantasy world of a comic-book movie soothes the wounded soul better than any “serious” play – and beats real reality by a mile. But an undercurrent of tongue-in-cheeky humor continually leavens and levitates the heavy burden of this fatalistic assessment. In our own heads, at least, we fly. – Frances Marion Platt

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

Kumquats to come There’s more than one way to graft a citrus plant

andering in and out of the narrow alleys, I could barely squeeze past other potential buyers. On my way back from a lecture and book-selling, a wad of money was burning a hole in my pocket. I muttered to a young couple who glanced up to let me pass, “I feel like a drug addict.” A fleeting, sympathetic smile, and they, like others, were again intent on the offerings, hardly aware, like us other “addicts,” of other humanity. I was lucky, able to leave Logee’s Greenhouses in Danielson, Connecticut only $75 poorer – but richer in plants. Perched on the tray that I carried to my car were small plants of fragrant wax plant

(Hoya odorata), Nordmann Seedless Nagami kumquat and Golden Nugget mandarin (tangerine): all three promising to offer, for years to come, sweet fragrance, beauty and good eating, in the case of the mandarin and kumquat. By not allowing myself to dawdle, I was able to keep my trembling hand from grabbing at a Black Mission fig plant, a Dwarf Cavendish banana plant (“only three feet high!”) or a Hoya lauterbachii, with fragrant blooms the size of teacups. Most of Logee’s plants are small and not cheap – understandable considering the wide array of plants that it stocks. Aside from my kumquat and mandarin, I could have chosen from among a dozen other citrus varieties, including some interesting oddities like Buddha’s Hand citron, whose fruit does, in fact, look like the draped fingers on a hand. Instead of the fragrant wax plant, I could have driven home with any one of 15 other species or varieties of wax plant. Not that Logee’s is

the product of pollination. The apomyctic seedlings show their presence by their greater vigor and more upright stature. Down sides to propagation by seedlings, apomyctic or otherwise, are that plants must go through a juvenile phase of some years before they are old enough to flower and fruit. Also, most citruses tend to be very thorny in their youth. One way in which I justified my purchases at Logee’s was with my plan to use my new citrus plants to make more plants – by grafting, the third way of propagating citrus. All that’s needed is any citrus rootstock; they all are graft-compatible. Not being able to throw away seeds, I have a few kumquat rootstocks started from seeds that I spat out from my Meiwa kumquat fruits as I ate them a couple of years ago. I’ll graft in spring, taking stems from the Golden Nugget mandarin to make a whip graft: a particularly easy kind of graft that gives quick results. Basically, a smooth, sloping cut on the kumquat rootstock will be matched against a similarly

smooth, sloping cut on the “scion,” which is the stem that I cut from the mandarin stem, with both bound together with a wrap of tape or cut rubber band. After removing leaves from the scion, grafting compound (Tree-Kote) or Parafilm seals the graft and scion against desiccation before the scion and rootstock knit together, and the scion piece begins to grow. The final step will be deciding what to do with my growing citrus orchard in pots. Plants for my annual sale, perhaps? The largest citrus orchard (potted) in the Hudson Valley? – Lee Reich

for example.” I asked Mark what types of birds we can expect to see during mid-November. “It is a great time of year to look for a variety of waterfowl and divers like loons and grebes. The Ashokan Reservoir, the Vly and spots along the Hudson River like Esopus Meadows, Kingston Point and the Saugerties Lighthouse are all rewarding. This is also a good time to examine large flocks of Canada geese foraging on places like the Wallkill and Hurley Flats, in hopes of finding a rare cousin mixed in. While exploring open agricultural land, you may also find flocks of snow buntings, horned larks and American pipits foraging in the plowed fields, and should also expect a variety of birds of prey.” Whether you’re very new to birding like I am, or you’re an experienced birder like Mark, or somewhere in between, I highly recommend taking advantage of the Burroughs Society’s many free nature field trips, open to all levels of experience, and even joining the organization. Mark makes birding fascinating, so make sure that you include one of his trips in your outing list, such as his free trip on Saturday, November 22 at 8 a.m. at Kingston Point and River Road in Port Ewen. Folks can also visit him at the Forsyth Nature Center to pick up copies of Where to Bird in Ulster County and the recently updated companion checklist of species’ seasonal abundance and occurrence – or just ask questions and talk birds. For field trip information and more, “like” the John Burroughs Natural History Society Facebook page, and visit the website at http://jbnhs.org. Upcoming dates to remember: Christmas Bird Counts centered in Ulster County on December 20 and 27. Feeder watchers are needed, if you live within the count circle, and experienced birders for field parties.

Holiday centerpiece workshop at Olana

make time noticeably change its passage would be lethal to humans. Another issue is that in the movie, certain characters enter a black hole and yet are rescued, with no explanation how it happened. In real life, it would be almost impossible to escape from a black hole. At minimum, the saved science-savvy characters would probably ask their rescuers some serious questions. I wonder if most moviegoers will give that piece of illogic a free pass. Anyway, even if actual events would not unfold the way the movie depicts, there’s nothing wrong with a little suspension of disbelief. Interstellar is a very different kind of film from last year’s sci-fi blockbuster Gravity. What they share is cool science that is accurate to some degree, but has gaping lapses for the sake of the storyline. I would neither condemn nor recommend either movie on the basis of the science alone. You’ll probably find Interstellar thought-provoking. As to whether it works for you as entertainment, only you can decide. – Bob Berman

Matthew McConaughey in Interstellar

Av a

he new movie Interstellar was directed by Christopher Nolan, who has brought us a series of mind-twisting films like Inception. This one revolves around human space travel through wormholes and black holes, and the distortion of time. Einstein’s relativity is so central to the plot that he’s repeatedly mentioned by name: juicy stuff for geeks like me. Most folks will leave the theater with their heads spinning. Already, astronomers are being asked whether all those plot elements are really true. Let’s take a look. Well, black holes do exist. And a wormhole, first postulated by Albert Einstein and physicist Nathan Rosen in the 1930s, and originally termed an “Einstein-Rosen bridge,” is theoretically possible. There’s not the slightest observational evidence for them, though. If they do exist, they could indeed be conduits to another part of the universe. In the film, the astronauts talk about the dangers of landing on a particular planet because its strong gravity would make one hour pass for them while a decade passes back at home. So if they spend just three hours on the surface, 30 years will meanwhile elapse back on Earth and their children would be all grown up. They understandably do not want this to happen, so they try to make their surface adventures very brief. Naturally, things don’t go as planned, and they ultimately realize that everyone back on Earth must now be much older. Even their crew member who waited behind for them in orbit is now decades older, and resignedly reveals that he has been patiently waiting for them all this time, even though less than an afternoon has elapsed for the still-youthful travelers. Real science shows us that, yes, a stronger gravity would make your time slow down. Where the movie takes liberties is that if the gravity were only three times stronger than Earth’s – which is what the film’s planet supposedly has – the difference in time would be negligible, meaning that the astronauts would experience one year while back at home people would experience one year plus one second. The amount of gravity required to

DATED: November 20, 2014 Kingston, New York Victoria A. Fabella, Clerk Ulster County Legislature Local Law No. 4 Of 2014 County Of Ulster A Local Law Amending Local Law No. 5 of 1989 (A Local Law Requiring Regulations Regarding The Sale Of Motor Vehicle Fuels) To Establish Certain Consumer Protection Practices In Ulster County BE IT ENACTED, by the Legislature of the County of Ulster, as follows: SECTION 1. LEGISLATIVE INTENT AND FINDINGS. The Ulster County Legislature hereby determines that is appropriate and necessary to amend Local Law Number 5 of 1989 to prevent misleading and deceptive trade practices with respect to the pricing of gasoline on signs at gasoline stations located within Ulster County that are not regulated by Article 16 of the New York State Agriculture and Markets Law. SECTION 2. REGULATION. Section 6 (c) of Local Law Number 5 of 1989 is hereby amended to add a new subdivision “6.” as follows: 6. Displaying gasoline prices in a manner which fails to include and make plainly visible to the consumer of the difference, if any, between the price per gallon for payment by cash, debit, or credit shall be prohibited. For example, a sign which only reveals the price per gallon for a cash payment but fails to include and make equally and plainly visible the price per gallon by debit or credit payment, when a difference in price exists, shall constitute a deceptive trade practice. However, a sign which does not distinguish between the price per gallon for payment by cash and payment by credit or debit shall not be considered a deceptive trade practice, only if the price per gallon is the same regardless of the form of payment. The price of gasoline available to retail customers on one or more signs must be so positioned and lit so that the price that the signs display will be readily seen by motorists approaching the gasoline station at any time that the gasoline station is open for business to supply gasoline. If only one price is posted, such signs must display in all instances the price of gasoline at the standard retail price available to all customers, without any discounts or special offers. If discounted pricing is displayed on the sign it must be of the same size as the regular price of gasoline. SECTION 3. SEVERABILITY. If any part or provision of this Local Law or the application thereof to any person or circumstances be adjudged invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction such judgment shall be confined in its operation to the part of the provision or application directly involved in the controversy in which judgment shall have been rendered and shall not affect or impair the validity of the remainder of this Local Law or the application thereof to other persons or circumstances and the Ulster County Legislature hereby declares that it would have passed this Local Law or the remainder thereof had such invalid application or invalid provision been apparent. SECTION 4. EFFECTIVE DATE. This Local Law shall take effect one hundred and twenty (120) days after its adoption. LEGAL NOTICE NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the resolution published herewith has been adopted by the County Legislature of the County of Ulster,

New York, on October 21, 2014 and approved by the County Executive on October 30, 2014, and the validity of the obligations authorized by such resolution may be hereinafter contested only if such obligations were authorized for an object or purpose for which said County is not authorized to expend money, or if the provisions of law which should have been complied with as of the date of publication of this notice were not substantially complied with, and an action, suit or proceeding contesting such validity is commenced within twenty days after the date of publication of this notice, or such obligations were authorized in violations of the provisions of the Constitutions.

ALMANAC WEEKLY

real estate

At a recent graduation speech I heard: I’d like to thank the internet, Google, Wikipedia, Microsoft Word, and Copy & Paste. The world sure has changed hasn’t it? The internet for searching out homes to buy is popular, but really has serious shortcomings. For instance, the pictures might be good, but the home sits across from a sewage treatment plant, or the next door neighbor’s hobby is repairing junk cars. How are you to know? You can’t. It’s a million dollar home, but the road in passes a huge trailer park. Now there is nothing wrong with trailer parks, but how do you think it affects the value of the home? Don’t ask trulia or Zillow, ask us.

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.

PRAYER TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN. (Never known to fail.) Oh, most faithful flower of Mt. Carmel, fruitful vine splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son of God. Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity. Oh Star of the Sea, help me and show me, herein you are my mother. Oh, Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in this necessity. There are none that can withstand your power. Oh, show me herein you are my mother. Oh Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee (3x). Holy Mary, I place this cause in your hands (3x). Holy Spirit, you who solve all problems, light all roads so that I can attain my goal. You who gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me and that in all instances in my life you are with me, I want in this short prayer to thank-you for all things as you confirm once again that I never want to be separated from you in eternal glory. Thank-you for your mercy towards me and mine. The person must say this prayer 3 consecutive days. After 3 days, the request will be granted. This prayer must be published after the favor is granted.

Back in May, the Ulster County SPCA confiscated 22 cats from a hoarding case, 21 of which were orange. In honor of having just won that case in court, we’re offering half off adoption fees for these friendly felines. Come & meet Flame, Rust, Tomato, Peach, Lion & so many more! Still here are the usual suspects: Zircon; large orange older male

who’s very laid back. Pumba; curious young male that just needs a good home. Mumford; regal looking grey & white fella w/a big personality. Fargo; easy going older male that likes to be picked up. Dolly; she’s small & shy but once you take a chance and get to know her, you won’t regret it. Here are some of our wonderful DOGS: PEBBLES; excitable & beautiful young female who loves walks, playtime and cuddles. NATHAN; Another young pit mix, this little guy loves life and all the playtime he can get. DEE; 5-year old Chow Chow/Collie mix who’s very mild mannered & calm. She’s good w/cats, selective w/other dogs, great w/people. She’d make a great fit for a family without other dogs. SHEBA; This unique 7-year old is more like a cat than a dog. She loves to take walks & play, especially w/her personal favorite, Tennis Balls! Needs quiet home w/no dogs, cat, or kids.

We love the web. It’s fast. It’s free. It connects us to people and information from around the world.

It feels good to cut the cord. To immerse yourself in a good book or article, to hold it in your hands.

But it’s not perfect. Some sites collect personal data, putting you at risk of identify theft. Leaning forward, staring at a screen causes headaches. E-mail and chat are constant interuptions. Our minds weren’t made for this.

We’re there for you on the web, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. For the best coverage of your community, with the best reading experience, subscribe today to the print edition of any Ulster Publishing newspaper at subscribe@ulsterpublishing.com or www.hudsonvalleytimes.com.
