plete immersion in chamber music,” said founder Yehuda Hanani.

“As of this summer, the festival has been taken over by Close Encounters with Music, our chamber music presenting organization that has been in the forefront of thematic programming in the Berkshires and elsewhere (the Frick Collection in New York City, the Clark Museum in Williamstown, Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts et cetera.),” added Hanani’s wife Hannah, also an accomplished player. “‘The Grand Italian Tour’ is the theme of the combination of concerts, lectures, film and master classes, open to the public and featuring distinguished faculty artists and outstanding young musicians from around the world taking place at the newly restored Orpheum Theater in Tannersville and the Doctorow Center for the Arts in Hunter, as well as additional locations in the Hudson Valley and Berkshires.”

“We are committed to bringing the very best artists and leading pedagogues to continue this new musical tradition, here in the breathtaking environment that inspired the Hudson River School painters and generations of artists since,” noted the world-acclaimed cellist, noting such guest performers as Elmar Oliveira, Gold Medal-winner of Moscow’s prestigious Tchaikovsky International Competition (the only American violinist ever to capture the award) and Axel Strauss, Enescu and Naumburg prizewinner and guest concertmaster of the Berlin Philharmonic.

The centerpieces of the festival will be two concerts devoted to Italy as the motherlode of musical culture: “Years of Pilgrimage,” at 2 p.m. on Sunday, August 10 at the Doctorow Center for the Arts, will feature selections from Scarlatti, Boccherini, Rossini, Paganini and Verdi with Yehuda Hanani on cello, Michael Chertock on piano and Metropolitan Opera mezzo-soprano Lucille Beer. “Souvenir de Florence,” at 2 p.m. the following Sunday, August 17 at the Orpheum Performing Arts Center, will feature Italy-inspired works

by Tchaikovsky, Stravinsky and Valentini with Oliveira and Strauss, violist Amadi Azikiwe, cellists Hanani and Thomas Landschoot; Chertock and the High Peaks Festival Chamber Orchestra.

In between there will be an August 18 cello chorus concert with 18 of the instruments and an orchestra at the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, a “Stars of Tomorrow” performance at the historic Olana Estate in Hudson on Friday, August 15 at 6 p.m., a series of free “Moonlight Sonatas” performances featuring top-tier young artists at the Doctorow Center in

Byrdcliffe Theater hosts Choreography on the Edge Choreography on the Edge will perform at the historic Byrdcliffe Theater in Woodstock on Friday and Saturday, August 8 and 9 at 8 p.m. and Sunday, August 10 at 3 p.m. The innovative program has given professional choreographers and dancers a chance to experiment and push their boundaries since 1987. It features choreographers and dancers spanning a wide range of styles and techniques; primarily modern dance, contemporary ballet and cultural motifs expressed through Irish step dancing choreographed by Joel Hanna from the original cast of Riverdance.

A number of choreographers will perform their work as solos, and others will work as duets and trios, including Laura Ward with the Octavia Cup Dance Theatre, Claire Jacob-Zysman with dancers from the Ellen Sinopoli Dance Theater, Leighann Kowalsky, Jennifer Yackel, Sharon Penz, Angela Maffia, Laura Teeter, Laura Seaman, Diane McCarthy, Rowan Willigan and Alex Bloomstein.

Returning this year after a hiatus is Sara Miot, one of the choreographers who began the “Choreographers’ Concert” that was later renamed Choreography on the Edge. She will present a piece performed by members of the Ulster Ballet.

To maintain this focus on fresh, innovative work and a high standard of professionalism, choreographers are asked to dig deep, incorporating elements that they haven’t used before. The pieces are not auditioned and most of them will be premiering.

The Byrdcliffe Theater is located at 3 Upper Byrdcliffe Way in Woodstock.

Tickets cost $12, available at the door or reserved by calling Zack Jacobs at (845) 453-8673 or e-mailing choreographyontheedge@gmail.com.

JOCIE ADAMS IS A MASTER OF EXECUTION, but she has got the ideas too.

Come into milady’s chamber Arc Iris plays the Falcon in Marlboro on Saturday

T

he word “chamber,” used as an adjective to describe music, has flipped, performed a complete 180 in its cluster of meanings. Originally, “chamber music” described a reduced scope and a relaxed formality by comparison to orchestral music. Music for smaller spaces is its root meaning, fewer players a direct consequence of that. It also suggested casualness due to the absence of the autocratic authority of the conductor, leaving the musicians to clock and to lead themselves for a change. Finally, “chamber” meant fineness and delicacy, since bombast and war sims were not an option.

I use the word “chamber” all the time in my music writing, for chamber is my thing, and chamber is in – chamber pop, chamber folk and, someday soon I am sure, chamber punk – and I usually mean the exact opposite of its original sense.

Chamber now means an expanded sound palette and lineup: folk music with oboes

Arc Iris

and cellos for example, or rock with brass, a Theremin and a small chorus. It means more, not less, arrangement, coordination and compositional ambition than pop forms usually entail. It implies the presence, not the absence, of an auteur: an autocratic authority micromanaging the musical detail, as opposed to the laissez-faire, default- and conventiongoverned negotiation of roles and space that happens in a traditional rock or folk group.

But at least chamber can still mean delicate and fine. In fact, “chamber music” hasn’t really changed its intrinsic sense at all; what has changed is the thing that it is the alternative to: Chamber is a step down the ladder of musical and logistical complexity from symphonic music, a step up from rock and folk.

Here steps up Arc Iris, an unabashedly “chamber” and micromanaged polyfolk ensemble featuring the singer/ songwriting and compositional auteurism of Jocie Adams, formerly of the Low Anthem. While many songwriters these days augment their arrangements with a bit of the chamber-fine, freshening their standard folk tunes with splashes of brass quartets, stacked vocals and laptop beats without ever really testing

the limits of pop forms, Adams is the real deal: a shamelessly fussy, precious and through-composing mastermind writing one sui generis art song after another.

She does not graft fanciful arrangements onto conventional tunes; these tunes are fancy from go. And it is hard not to be impressed by the exacting level of musical development in effect from the downbeat of Arc Iris’ eponymous debut.

A full minute into the opening track, “Money Gnomes,” you’re going to think that you know exactly where you are: Why, you are in the big, fancy barn of Mumfordian nu-folk and newgrass, with a banjo-and-snare-powered train groove and the familiar, clipped and keen, folksy elocution of Adam’s vocal delivery, a viral vocal style that contains echoes of Joanna Newsom, Jolie Holland, Nellie McKay and others. But this train is then abruptly derailed by a swirling, kaleidoscopic waltz, some calliope chromaticism and multiple character voices fleshing out an archaic and allegorical Lewis Carroll-type fantasy of some kind about materialism and corruption. Now you don’t know where you are anymore, and that’s where you will stay for the next ten tracks.

That teasing pattern is repeated numerous times. Songs may begin in the lounge (“Canadian Cowboy”), in the barrelhouse (“Singing so Sweetly,” “Powder Train”) or in Nola, or on doowop’s streetcorner; but they all end in the same place: the chamber. Even the most grooving and simple songs on this record, the ones that offer respite from the artiness, seem to arrive at a delicate, extended rubato breakdown at some point in their arc. You can take the girl out of the chamber, but...

Chamber pop forces us to differentiate idea from execution in a way that few

Caught in my struggle for higher achievement Evening of Joni Mitchell songs at Bearsville on Saturday

The confessional singer/songwriters of the ’70s took their clan name and their rulebook from the confessional poets of the ’50s and ’60s. But, like hipsters and grunge rockers, few confessional poets would ever actually call themselves by that name. It was a critics’ term, first used to describe the radically intimate voice and content of Robert Lowell’s 1959 volume Life Studies and later used to yoke Lowell into a school (for poets move in schools, like crows in murders and owls in parliaments) with such eventual icons as Sylvia Plath and Anne Sexton and such disparate poets’ poets as W. D. Snodgrass (Heart’s Needle) and John Berryman (Dream Songs), all of whom shared in the moment’s spirit of self-disclosure and reflection but who otherwise had little in common.

The confessional poets were not born free; they broke free in the classic manner of revolutionaries: by turning the skills that they learned in prestigious institutions against the stodgy and repressive codes of the establishment that trained them. Most made their names as tricky academic poets, descendents of Modernists like T. S. Eliot and W. H. Auden. They were insiders, the cream-of-the-crop in the increasingly unpopular, rarefied profession of 20th-century poetry. Even the biggest rock star that confessional poetry produced, Sylvia Plath, was a formal and relatively decorous poet in the only collection that she published in her lifetime: The Co-

lossus and Other Poems. That advanced technical skill is still very much in evidence in Ariel as well.

To the ritualized disappointment of generations of undergrads, most landmark confessional poetry is hardly the unadorned, risqué, primal and artless venting that the label would seem to suggest – hardly the antidote to a semester of Milton. It is virtuosic and demanding verse in its own way. Of all the confessional singer/songwriters of the ’70s – the James Taylors and Jackson Brownes, Carly Simons and Carole Kings of the pop landscape – the one who worked most in the tradition of Plath and Lowell was Joni Mitchell, not because she was the most candid and revealing but because she was – by a mile – the most skilled, advanced, complex and difficult.

The confessionalists can claim Blue as their own: her most personal, intimate and influential album, and my favorite as well (though when I was young it was all about the West Coast, jazzy sophistication of Court and Spark and The Hissing of Summer Lawns). But the rest of Joni’s dazzlingly diverse and adventurous catalogue really seems to belong to players now. She is the official, preferred singer/ songwriter of players everywhere: a writer of such formidable musical substance that top-tier jazz and fusion cats with solo careers like Jaco Pastorius, Pat Metheny, Larry Carlton, Tom Scott and on and on all but lined up and begged to be her sidemen.

It is thus no surprise that when the Bearsville Theater presents “Shadows and Light: An Evening of Joni Mitchell Songs” on Saturday, August 9, there will be a lot of formidable instrumentalists on the tribute’s bill. Singers and songwriters are certainly represented as well, in the persons of Leslie Ritter, Julie Last (who has worked with Mitchell), Amy Fradon, Adrien Reju and others; but on the top line you will also find players’ players like Scott Petito, A-list session and tour musicians like drummer Zachary Alford (David Bowie, Bruce Springsteen, B-52s) and world-class jazz heavies like the master composer, interpreter and reed-player Don Byron. It is not just that players love Joni as they love few others in the pop sphere; it’s that, in some cases, these are the only people who can actually cut this stuff.

other genres do. In some hands, chamber can seem heavy on execution, light on idea: all icing, no cake; all doily, no table.

It all depends on the strength of the core melodies. Even a chamber-pop superstar like Sufjan Stevens can sometimes crush his frail little tunes under the weight of his compositional ambition. (But ah, he can be such a very fine songwriter that I forgive him his pretensions. Still, mark it well: Not everyone can or should try to be Randy Newman.)

Jocie Adams is a master of execution, but she has got the ideas too. This is why my favorite tracks on Arc Iris are not the folksy, swinging and rocky ones meant to move me, but the pure art songs of the bunch: “Honor of the Rainbows I,” “Honor of the Rainbows II” and the exquisite “Might I Deserve to Have a Dream.”

Here, her indebtedness to the fully realized otherworldly musicality of Joanna Newsom is evident, as Adams wishes not only to create her own musical language and world, but to populate it with her own set of symbols, allegories and myths as well.

Arc Iris appears at the Falcon in Marlboro on Saturday, August 9, and Tony Falco displays once again what a fine and imaginative matchmaker he can be, pairing the New England chamber folk group with Jeremy Mage and the Magi: a pretty high-end chamber group posing as a world groove ensemble.

ALMANAC WEEKLY MUSIC

“Unfinished” business Bard Music Festival reexamines Schubert’s legacy next two weekends

W

hen the Bard Music Festival began 25 years ago, few would have predicted its duration and expansion. But Bard’s president Leon Botstein had big ambitions for his school and its music programs.

Today, Bard has a rapidly developing music conservatory. Its orchestra recently did a series of performances in Europe. The former home of the Bard Music Festival’s orchestra performances, a large tent, has been replaced by the Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts: a space designed by Frank Gehry that seats nearly a thousand people. The pickup orchestra that began the Festival has been replaced by the American Symphony Orchestra, of which Botstein has been music director for two decades.

The Bard Music Festival, this year devoted to “Schubert and His World,” covers the next two weekends and includes 15 concerts, a film screening and two panel discussions, plus a variety of talks, which precede most concerts.

The Bard Music Festival is an effort to explore Franz Schubert (1797–1828) both as he was known in his own time and as he came to be understood by posterity.

These are radically different viewpoints, as attendees will discover. During his brief career (he died in 1828 at age 31), Schubert was known in his hometown of Vienna, and around Austria, mostly as a song composer of local interest. He wrote more than 600 songs, transforming the entire field of German art song with his romantic approach to poets’ lyrics: an aspect of his work honored during the Festival. But his instrumental works – some of them written on a very large scale – were hardly known and mostly unperformed during his lifetime.

As later composers like Robert Schumann and Johannes Brahms discovered and promoted Schubert’s work, Schubert became known as one of the great masters of the Romantic period. His “Unfinished” Symphony is now one of the most popular works in the symphonic repertoire. (It will be performed in Program Three on Saturday evening, August 9.) But it was unknown until 1865, when a friend who had kept the manuscript gave it to a visiting conductor. The String Quintet in C (Program One), completed two months before the composer’s death, was not heard until 1850.

The Bard Music Festival is designed to appeal to classical music fans. But even the most casual concertgoer can find programs to enjoy. The opening concert, “The Legacy of a Life Cut Short,” beginning at 8 p.m. at Sosnoff on Friday, August 8, includes one of Schubert’s great early songs, “Gretchen at the Spinning Wheel”; orchestral performances of an opera overture and the Third Symphony; the masterpiece for piano four hands, Fantasy in F Minor; and the String Quintet in C, from the last year of Schubert’s short life. Typical of the Bard Music Festival, it will be a long program, likely to last three hours with intermission. It will convince even a novice listener of Schubert’s greatness.

Since the Bard Music Festival has Botstein and the American Symphony Orchestra at its disposal, orchestral works are a mainstay and usually fill the evening events (all at the Fisher Center’s Sosnoff Theater). Program Six, on Sunday, August 10 at 5:30 p.m., uses members of the orchestra to accompany two short operas. One of them is Schubert’s Die Verschworenen (The Conspirators), a one-act “singspiel” (similar to our musical comedy form); the other is Suppé’s operetta Franz Schubert, based loosely on the composer’s life.

745-3000. The Bethel Woods Center for the Arts is located at 200 Hurd Road in Bethel.

Guilt Mountain plays at BSP in Kingston

New Paltz songwriter, ’zine author and event promoter Kate Larson calls her latest solo (and sometimes duo) musical project Guilt Mountain, giving us some clue into its intentions and psychological utility. Larson was formerly a member of Klessa, a fourpiece parlor art collective whose bass clarinet, accordion and glockenspiel ditties ran a range from naïve folksterism to moments of almost staggering musical originality. Larson then fronted the all-female punk-poppy trio Go Ogres, a funny, playful and even a bit vitriolic rock group that harassed harassers and celebrated Jeremy Lin. Guilt Mountain seems to combine

elements of both. There is a one-of-a-kind handcrafted feel to the song forms, as with Klessa, and the lyrics often approach a meditative minimalism. But as with Go Ogres, expiations and vengeance and emotional resolutions are being directly pursued in these charged and personal songs.

On Thursday, August 7, Guilt Mountain teams with Brooklyn’s Early Riser, the duo of cellist Heidi Vanderlee (of Leda) and guitarist Kiri Oliver. Early samples describe a deliriously tuneful, acoustic indie-pop with spot harmonies right out of the pop-punk songbook and articulate, emotionally clustered lyrics not far out of step with Guilt Mountain’s. It will be a duo of duos, as Larson will have her frequent collaborator, the multi-instrumental savant Matt Ross (Subpixel, Los Doggies, 3DCosby, Breakfast in Fur), on board for the date.

Guilt Mountain and Early Riser appear as part of BSP’s ongoing Free Thursday series. That means that it’s free. The show starts at 8 p.m. BSP is located at 323 Wall Street in Kingston. For more information, visit www.bspkingston.com.

WDST Reunion Concert on Saturday in Kingston WDST presents the WDST Reunion Concert on Saturday, August 9 at 5 p.m., in Apuzzo Hall at the Hudson

August 7, 2014

The concluding Program 12, on Sunday, August 17 at 4:30 p.m., is a complete performance of Schubert’s opera Fierrabras (the name of a Moorish knight): his attempt at a grand opera, although with spoken dialogue. In a long lifetime of concertgoing I have never encountered a performance of any Schubert opera. Critical opinion states that all of Schubert’s operas are too undramatic to be stageworthy, but here’s a chance to find out for ourselves.

Expect supertitles at these performances so you can follow what’s going on.

In addition to the “Unfinished” Symphony, Program Three (August 9 at Franz Schubert (Wilhelm August Rieder) 8 p.m.) covers later orchestrations of Schubert works, including the Grand Duo for piano four hands transformed into a symphony by the conductor Felix Weingartner, and songs originally for voice and piano orchestrated by Hector Berlioz, Franz Liszt, Jacques Offenbach, Brahms and Anton Webern, all great admirers of Schubert. Program Nine (Saturday, August 16 at 8 p.m.), titled “Late Ambitions,” presents choral works including the great Mass in E Flat (Schubert’s sixth mass setting).

Many Bard Music Festival programs offer unusual combinations of different composers and performers. For example, Program Eight, “The Music of Friendship” (Saturday, August 16 at 1:30 p.m. in the auditorium of the Franklin Olin Humanities Building), begins with piano music and songs by Schubert, then adds music by various Schubert friends and admirers, including his younger brother Ferdinand and his close friend Anselm Hüttenbrenner, the man who preserved the “Unfinished” Symphony. Program Seven, “Beethoven’s Successor?” (Friday, August 15 at 8 p.m.), presents late works of Schubert performed by three singers, pianist Brian Zeger, the Horszowski Trio, members of the Bard Festival Chorale conducted by James Bagwell “and others.” Program Four, “Goethe and Music: The German Lied” (Sunday, August 10 at 10 a.m. in Olin Hall), presents songs of Schubert and at least 11 other composers (“and others”), not all of them as well-known as Beethoven and Schumann.

It’s important to realize that this Festival has become a “go-to” event, bringing much of its audience from outside our area. Most of the concerts sell out.

Main stage renovations next component of Hudson Opera House renaissance

When the Hudson Opera House (HOH) went up in 1855 – also housing a library, a bank and the city’s post office and police station – the city that it was designed to be the pride of had recently shifted from being an upriver whaling port to a manufacturing center filled with textile mills and brick factories, and the commerce freed by the building of the Erie Canal and state’s first great railways. Hudson River School painters Frederic Church and Sanford Gifford, a hometown hero, showed their paintings in the building’s grand second-floor auditorium. Henry Ward Beecher gave a rousing abolitionist lecture, Ralph Waldo Emerson spoke about philosophy and founding editor George W. Curtis of the then-new Harper’s Magazine came to the building’s inaugura-

ALMANAC WEEKLY tion (commemorated 150 years later with then-Harper’s editor Lewis Lapham’s repeat of that first event).

Later, when a group of Hudson residents came together in the early 1990s to spur on the renovation of the building – deteriorated after the city offices moved across the street 30 years earlier – the resulting drive helped solidify the complete rehaul of Hudson. Suddenly, all the glories of the community’s great collection of 19th-century architectural styles and unique river-city qualities were highlighted. Within a few years, the work of a few pioneering galleries and antiques dealers spread to new eateries and nightspots, and the establishment of Hudson as the region’s center of exurban cool.

Since those days, the Hudson Opera House has invested nearly $3 million to stabilize, upgrade and restore the exterior, basement and main floor of the building.

The result has allowed the Opera House to start housing art shows, classes and community events, as well as a host of events in the stabilized but as-yetnot-fully-renovated auditorium, which planners hope to see transformed into a 300-seat theater.

And according to HOH’s executive director Gary Schiro, more has been done and money is being raised to finalize the renovations up into the main stage

area. “We’ve nearly finished the design phase, and hope to be able to make a definitive announcement regarding our full renovation plans sometime in the autumn,” he added, noting that full images of all that has been in the works for the past dozen years will be available then.

“We’re progressing, even though there’s still a few moving parts to get in line.”

Funds for the Hudson Opera House renovation have come from a host of sources to date, including New York’s Empire State Development and Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation

BRAD MEHLDAU RETURNS TO THE FALCON ON FRIDAY

A

living jazz legend, pianist Brad Mehldau’s appearances at the Falcon are becoming a regular thing. Because he is one of the greatest and least-predictable solo improvisers that the form has ever known, as well as a serious music critic and theorist in his own right, you can’t take a show off. There’s no telling what you would miss: what covers he will do and where he will take them, whether he will be in a mood Bach or a mood Berg.

Sit close and listen hard. Jazz does not get fresher and more original than this.

asilica Hudson, a 19th-century rail foundry and later glue factory near the City of Hudson’s bay, sat vacant and cluttered for many years before artist Patrick Doyle acquired it in 2000 and gutted it.

With the hall emptied, his friend noted, the inside looked like a church.

When musician Melissa Auf der Maur and her partner Tony Stone moved to the upstate city in 2008, they could see the industrial space from their house; and when Doyle moved away in 2010, they decided to buy the building. Auf d e r Ma u r spent nearly two decades performing with the b a n d s Ho l e a n d Smashing Pumpkins, and she and Tony “were not in the City of Hudson looking to start a community center,” she said. “It fell into our laps, based on the fact that we really responded to the building’s raw shape, and it kind of showed us.”

During Doyle’s ownership the space was used for a few art shows and band practices, and Patti Smith played a benefit there in 2003 for the Friends of Hudson.

Though the building was in good shape, structurally speaking, when Auf der Maur and Stone took it over, they made significant renovations. Stone, whom Auf der Maur described as “the man who has taken over the building,” researched the ancient nuts and bolts of the structure, from plumbing to “window hardware,” which transformed the space into “a more functioning place.”

This allowed Auf der Maur to offer a varied slate of programming. During the summer, Basilica Hudson hosts weekly outdoor film screenings, art exhibitions and concerts. It will also host the annual Basilica Soundscape, a curated music festival on September 12-14.

It’s tempting to categorize Basilica Hudson as simply an arts space, but the venue also recently hosted a talk organized

by Scenic Hudson and Riverkeeper on plans to ship crude oil on the Hudson River. The building can be rented for weddings, and fundraisers for Habitat for Humanity and the Hudson Opera House, among others, have been held there. This November, Basilica Hudson will host its second annual Farm + Flea

market, and last year saw the Columbia and Greene County Buy Local Business Expo. The Kite’s Nest, a supplementary homeschooling program based in Basilica Hudson, hosts workshops, a community kitchen and a summer camp. For Auf der Maur, “The theme is being a one-stop shop for anything that can enhance the community’s life or can make a beautiful destination for anyone to come for a day for one of our events, or for a weekend.”

Though expanding, Basilica Hudson has a small staff running on, in Auf der Maur’s words, a “shoestring budget.” In order to pull off some of its bigger events, Basilica Hudson teams up with partners. Basilica Soundscape is presented with help from online music magazine Pitchfork, whose Brandon Stosuy programs one night of the festival [see sidebar in this edition of Almanac Weekly]. Last year’s Farm and Flea was presented with help from Bust Magazine and sponsored by Modern Farmer magazine.

In a sense, this is by design. “We certainly could be a mainstream wedding venue and make a living doing that; we could be a mainstream rock venue or beer garden if we wanted to,” Auf der Maur said, “but that’s not our priority. Our priority is community.” She described the programming as “cutting-edge, avant-garde, experimental, independent, adventurous, courageous, pioneering and designed to make people think.”

Though this mission may seem esoteric, Basilica Hudson is already making an impact. The NADA [New Art Dealers Alliance] Art Fair, held in 2011 and 2012, was well-attended. Three thousand people came to Hudson via Amtrak to attend in 2012: a record number that prompted calls from the New York State Tourism Board. “Every single restaurant,” Auf der Maur remembered, “was out of money, beer and food.”

But with the Kite’s Nest and other community programs, Auf der Maur’s goal

August 7, 2014 is to be of interest to more than visitors from New York City. “We want many walks of life to come through the doors: all ages, people from far away and people from right around the corner.”

– Rob Rubsam

Basilica Soundscape festival on the horizon The Basilica Soundscape festival, to be staged September 12-14, is becoming an increasingly popular alternative event – almost, in co-organizer Brandon Stosuy’s words, an “anti-festival.” For the third year in a row, Basilica Hudson’s Melissa Auf der Maur and Tony Stone are working in collaboration with Pitchfork senior editor/director of events Brandon Stosuy and Brian De Ran of Leg Up management to program the weekend. In contrast to other large-scale festivals like Coachella and Lollapalooza, Basilica Soundscape is curated with the ethos that “Each band makes sense and bleeds together in some way, and there’s a very definite reason why they were selected.”

Where once Basilica Soundscape was pulled together from close friends and contacts, this year it has expanded, with industrial titans Swans and Richard Reed Parry of Arcade Fire topping a bill that also includes Deafheaven, Tim Hecker and White Lung. Here’s the roster so far: On Friday, September 12, Leg Up will present Michael Chapman, the New York psych band Endless Boogie, a performance from Gamelan Dharma Swara orchestra, Tim Hecker, Tom Hawk, Julia Holter and a set from Richard Reed Parry of Arcade Fire, who will perform material from his upcoming solo album, Music for Heart and Breath.

Saturday’s show will feature a lineup of Swans and Deafheaven and will be rounded out by Vancouver-based punk group White Lung (as well as a reading

by White Lung frontwoman Mish Way), readings by Perfect Pussy frontwoman Meredith Graves and Mira Gonzalez, a set

by Guardian Alien with additional solo sets by their drummer Greg Fox (of Liturgy,

ALMANAC WEEKLY Ben Frost, Dan Deacon and Zs) and a set by nomadic dream-pop artist Emily Reo. Visual artist Sterling Ruby will create large-scale quiltlike flags as backdrops for the main stage. In between acts will be readings, art exhibits, performance art and food provided by a variety of local farm-to-table vendors. Tickets cost $35 per night, $60 for the weekend and can be obtained at http://bss14.bpt.me.

This year’s Basilica Soundscape will take place the same weekend as Groundswell, an afternoon exhibition event at the Olana State Historic Site, located just five minutes from Basilica Hudson.

Produced by Wave Farm’s WGXC and the Olana Partnership, Groundswell (Saturday, September 13 from 2 to 6 p.m.) features site-specific performances and works by Kenseth Armstead, William Basinski, Steve Bull, Jane Carver, Ellen Driscoll, Michael Garofalo, Mckendree Key, Hélène Lesterlin, Jack Magai, Man Forever, Laura Ortman, Mau Schoettle and Bryan Zimmerman, set amidst one of the Hudson Valley’s most breathtaking viewsheds.

Meanwhile, expect metal and avantgarde music at the Basilica Soundscape festival, and a closer sense of connection to both the performers and other audience members. “It will be more like the Maand-Pa version of a festival,” Stosuy said. “It just feels smaller and less WalMartesque.”

Rock and Roll Circus with author talk on Friday; BCB Art hosts related exhibition Basilica Hudson at 110 South Front Street in Hudson will host an evening with film and television director, artist and author Michael Lindsay-Hogg on Friday, August 8 from 8 to 11 p.m.

A pioneer in music video, LindsayHogg’s extensive professional credits include directing the Beatles’ Let It Be and Brideshead Revisited. His directorial stage credits include Agnes of God on Broadway and the original production of Larry Kramer’s The Normal Heart at Joe Papp’s Public Theatre.

Lindsay-Hogg will do a reading from his memoir, Luck and Circumstance, followed by a screening of the Rolling Stones’ Rock and Roll Circus, created by Mick Jagger and Michael Lindsay-Hogg and starring Jethro Tull, Taj Mahal, Marianne Faithful, the Who, Eric Clapton, John Lennon assisted by Yoko Ono and the Rolling Stones. It was shot over two days in December 1968. It was not seen by any audience anywhere for 28 years until it was screened at the New York Film Festival in 1996, after it had been rescued

by Allen Klein. Admission to the screening costs $10 on a sliding scale.

Michael Lindsay-Hogg’s father was an English baronet who lived mostly in Ireland and Spain. His mother, Geraldine Fitzgerald, was a Warner Brothers movie star who won acclaim as Bette Davis’ best friend in Dark Victory and performed in William Wyler’s Wuthering Heights.

She spent time with Hollywood’s elite: Laurence Olivier, Charles Chaplin and Orson Welles, with whom she worked in New York at the Mercury Theater and in other productions.

Lindsay-Hogg writes of how he wended his way into this exotic, mysterious and seductive world, encountering as a small

boy the likes of Marion Davies and William Randolph Hearst, playing hide-and-seek with Olivia de Havilland, serving drinks to Humphrey Bogart and discussing life with Henry Miller. At the book’s center, an offhand comment made to the author about his mother’s relationship with Orson Welles leads Lindsay-Hogg to question his father’s identity in this moving, deft and illuminating memoir.

For more information, visit www. basilicahudson.com.

BCB Art at 116 Warren Street in Hudson will host an opening reception for an exhibit of paintings and drawings

by Michael Lindsay-Hogg on Saturday, August 9 from 6 to 8 p.m. The exhibit will remain on view through September 7. “You Game? I’m Game” will feature unique works on canvas, board and paper, deftly rendered in paint and colored pencil. They evoke the feeling of “one-frame movies” full of character, intrigue and innuendo.

THE WEST SIDE STORY CAST definitely delivers, and the result is an evening of theater that is moving in every sense of the word.

A time and place for us West Side Story at Woodstock Playhouse

W

hen did Broadway musicals take their turn toward the dark side, away from the uncontroversial, feel-good shows of Rodgers & Hammerstein and their contemporaries? Some say that A Chorus Line was the milestone, when it became okay to sing about topics like coming out and being an incest survivor. Others would date it a little earlier, to the kinkiness of Cabaret. But it was West Side Story that paved the way

for hard-hitting contemporary musicals, rearranging the bones of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet into an edgy modern classic set amidst the gang wars of Manhattan in the mid-1950s. Incorporating three onstage killings and a rape, plus jokes about racism, psychoanalysis and juvenile delinquency, it changed the way that the Broadway game is played, permanently.

Bringing together four top-tier artists as formidable in their egos as their talents – playwright Arthur Laurents, composer Leonard Bernstein, lyricist Stephen Sondheim and choreographer Jerome Robbins – the creation of West Side Story was a project that got shelved and nearly scuttled several times. But it’s precisely that simmering cauldron of stubborn, uncompromising genius that gave us a work whose brilliance never fades over time, even while the oncevicious street slang of its dialogue begins to sound somewhat quaint and dated.

The taunts still bite, the songs still swell and thrill, the epic dance passages still excite. And audiences still shed a tear for Tony, the idealistic gang member trying to go straight, and for Maria, the naïve immigrant girl plunged into a harsh urban environment.

Brian Klimowski and Mili Diaz in West Side Story of theatrical gold for all it’s worth, putting a young cast through some demanding paces. But the actors, singers and dancers all manage to impress, despite the fact that for many of them, this is the third or fourth play that they’ve had to master this season as part of the Playhouse’s resident ensemble. In fact, of the three shows that this reviewer has seen at Woodstock Playhouse this summer, I’d say that West Side Story offers the most polished, professional and energetic performances.

Outstanding among the cast this time is Brian Klimowski as Tony, whose strong and malleable voice easily handled the demanding tonalities of Bernstein’s swooping music. Though somewhat hampered by direction that kept him physically static in a couple of his big vocal numbers – standing on a ladder during “Something’s Coming,” holding a jacket draped over his arm in the first iteration of “Maria” – his acting skills also came across strongly in the lead role. From the moment that Tony and Maria first made eye contact at the dance in the gymnasium, he genuinely looked like a guy who’d gotten hit by the happy stick.

For her part, Mili Diaz looked radiantly beautiful, sang sweetly and danced spiritedly as Maria, and she and Klimowski generated convincing chemistry together as the star-crossed lovers. But in West Side Story the leading lady always runs the risk of being upstaged by her spitfire sisterin-law Anita: the part that made a star of Chita Rivera in the original Broadway version. This production was no exception.

low-key numbers, she totally rocked the showstopper “America.” On opening night, a wardrobe malfunction – a torn hem of her lace underskirt slipping down around her ankles – threatened to knock her right off her feet, but utterly failed to hinder the vigorous high kicks that characterize the Latin dance number’s choreography.

Other players whose dancing and emoting flowed together seamlessly were Hannah Breed as the tomboy Anybody’s, Christian Philippe Consigny as Bernardo (the Tybalt character) and John Kenton Kramer as Riff (the Benvolio/Mercutio hybrid), who particularly shone as the Jets’ leader tried to calm his restive troops before the big rumble in “Cool.” Even with Robbins’ highly technical balletic steps simplified somewhat by Woodstock Playhouse choreographer Andrew Parker Greenwood – who also directs this production – the unprecedented amount of stage time and spectacle given over to dance numbers in West Side Story requires an ensemble that can move in perfect synchrony, with consistent athleticism, spunk and grace. This cast definitely delivers, and the result is an evening of theater that is moving in every sense of the word. The ending is as tragic as ever, but you’ll still feel uplifted.

West Side Story continues at the Woodstock Playhouse this Thursday through Saturday, August 7 to 9 at 8 p.m., with a 2 p.m. matinée on Sunday, August 10. Ticket prices are $32, $36 and $40.

hirty-four artists who live and work in Saugerties will open their studios to visitors during the 12th annual Saugerties Artists’ Studio Tour on Saturday and Sunday, August 9 and 10 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day. The event is free of charge and it’s self-guided; one has only to pick up a map (or print one out online) and chart a course. But with so many studios available to choose from, how does one make the decision where to start?

“It’s such an individual exploration,” says tour coordinator and participating artist Barbara Bravo. One way to plan your visit, she suggests, is to view examples of each artist’s work at www.saugertiesarttour. com.

You can also attend the artists’ reception on Friday, August 8 at Opus 40 from 5 to 7 p.m. Each tour artist will have one work on display. The reception is free and open to all, and the regular admission fee to Opus 40 that evening is waived. With food and drink included, “You can’t beat it,” says Bravo. “You’re in this incredible environment, viewing an art show, meeting all these artists, and everybody has a great time.” The annual pre-tour reception at Opus 40 has become more popular with each year, she adds, with some 200 people expected to attend. The exhibit at Opus 40 will remain on view through August.

the tour artists can be seen in their group show, “Myth & History,” at the Kiersted House at 119 Main Street in Saugerties through Sunday, August 10. Gallery hours are from 1 to 4 p.m. Admission is free.

The show will move to Café Mezzaluna on Route 212 in Saugerties on August 16, where it will remain on view through September 21.

The participating artists work in a variety of media and styles. Tourgoers can expect to see examples of printmaking, painting, illustration, digital art, mixed-media works, sculpture, fine furnituremaking, ceramics, metalwork and more.

Four of the artists are new to the tour: Kristy Bishop, Tamara DiMattio, Erika deVries and Christopher Nealon. The rest of the roster is made up of Isaac Abrams, Noelle Auriemma, Anita Barbour, Loel Barr, Ana Bergen, Barbara Bravo, Michael Ciccone, Richard Edelman, Ruth Edwy, Steve Frederick and Cherie Jemsek, Robert George, Carol Zaloom and Mikhail Horowitz, Marsha Kaufman-Rubinstein, Polly M. Law, Yvette Lewis, Ulf Loven, Brian Lynch, Hugh Morris, Ze’ev Willy Neumann, Gus Pedersen, Joan Max Reinmuth, Tad Richards, Jeffrey Schiller, Istar Schwager, Prue See, Viorica Stan, Raymond J. Steiner and Fay Wood.

The artists really enjoy being a part of the tour, says Bravo. “You never know who’s going to walk through your

Noelle Auriemma’s “Goddess”

door; whom you’ll meet. Sometimes you’ ll get a commission to create something specifically for someone that they haven’t been able to get anywhere else. Or somebody will come in and see finished work and fall in love with it. You never know.”

She says that she’s always happy to see the families who come with young kids. “I love that. Because the schools have cut the arts budget so severely, I really feel like we’re doing a service by exposing these kids to art. It’s real, it’s in their neighborhoods and it’s to be taken seriously.”

And Bravo has a soft spot for the young aspiring artists who take the tour, too.

“They’re wonderful: full of enthusiasm and eagerness. By visiting an artist living the life in their own studio, they see the work: finished work, works in progress... there’s a lot of people that come out of art school, and they know the art, they know the technical, but they don’t know how to sell their work.” She encourages their aspirations, she says, but advises them to be smart about it. “It’s not a bad idea to learn something else along the way that’s marketable... but that’s another conversation.”

When asked what kinds of comments people make about what they get out of taking the tour, Bravo says that she’s struck by one comment in particular that someone made a few years back.

“They said, ‘I didn’t know how beautiful Saugerties is.’ These were people not familiar with the area, here for the weekend, and by going around to visit artists’ studios, they discovered what a pretty place we live in.”

The tour is made possible by the sponsorship of local businesses and organizations like the Saugerties Kiwanis

ALLEN BRYAN

Club, radio station WKZE and several grants, including a New York State Council on the Arts grant “that we’re lucky to get every year,” says Bravo. The Town of Saugerties is also affiliated with the Art along the Hudson organization that promotes the arts in Dutchess, Ulster and Orange Counties.

Maps can be printed out at www. saugertiesarttour.com or picked up at a number of local Saugerties businesses, a list of which is online along with some suggestions for where to eat lunch along the way. The Farmers’ Market at 115 Main Street in Saugerties will even have some special lunch options for Saturday tourgoers from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

“Park Peacocks Run Wild” in Kingston to benefit new playground The Junior League of Kingston will unleash “Park Peacocks Run Wild,” a three-month public art exhibition that benefits Kingston Kinderland II, the new playground to be built by volunteers at Forsyth Park next April.

The three-foot-tall peacocks made of polystyrene plastic and plywood have been decorated by professional artists, art students, hobbyists and even preschoolers, and are exhibited in front of sponsorship businesses, organizations and schools throughout the Uptown, Midtown and Rondout areas of

Kingston.

At the conclusion of the exhibition, the 22 peacocks – a nod to everyone’s favorite wild friends at the Forsyth Nature Center – will be auctioned off on October 26 at the Garden Plaza Hotel.

Each artist will receive 25 percent of the auction price of his or her peacock.

Otherwise, all profits from the exhibition sponsorships and auction will go toward the new playground. Maps of the peacock trail will be available in tourism offices, sponsorship businesses and art galleries.

Outdoor Supermoon Screenings at Storm King Art Center

The Storm King Art Center has always been a great place to stroll the grounds admiring great sculpture, enjoy a fine summer day, let your kids run around and burn off some energy, eat a picnic lunch. But nobody really thinks of it as a place to go to the movies, do they?

Well, that has just changed: In celebration of the astronomical wonder due to happen this Sunday [see Bob Berman’s column in this edition of Almanac Weekly for details], dubbed the MegaMoon by the media, Storm King’s programming people have organized a “film ramble” on the New Windsor sculpture park’s grounds, set to take place on Saturday evening, August 9 beginning at 8 p.m.

T hese first-e ver “Supermoon Screenings,” co-presented with Rooftop Films, will feature screenings of art films ranging in length from three to 14 minutes throughout the grounds. Filmmakers represented include Allison Schulnik, Gomez Salamanca, Wendy Morris, Rino Stefano Tagliafierro, Donato Sansone and Lois Patino. Guitarist Alexander Turnquist will provide live instrumental music interludes prior to and during the screenings. And yes, you can arrive early and make a picnic of it: The Curbside Cuisine Food Truck will be on hand to supply tacos, and cold Brooklyn Brewery beer will be on tap.

Admission to the Supermoon Screenings at Storm King is included in your regular admission, which costs $15 for adults, $12 for seniors and $8 for students and kids aged 5 to 18; kids aged 4 and under and Art Center members get in free. The rain date for the event is Sunday, August 10 at 8 p.m. The Storm King Art Center is located at 1 Museum Road in New Windsor.

Art Murphy exhibition opens on Saturday at Beacon Artists’ Union The Beacon Artists’ Union (BAU) at 506 Main Street in Beacon will hold an opening reception for photographer Art Murphy’s exhibition “Abstract/Concrete” during Beacon’s Second Saturday festivities on Saturday, August 9 from 6 to 9 p.m. The show will remain on view through September 6.

Known for his intriguing images of fossils discovered near his studio in Catskill, Murphy’s inspiration for “Abstract/Concrete” came from something far newer. He gained access to a construction site shortly after a large

concrete floor had been freshly poured, and as he walked around the empty space, he began to notice evocative abstract imagery emerging out of the mundane topography. Much like his fossil finds that often suggest deep time and the persistence of life, his current work captures markings: ephemeral and accidental traces of human commerce.

Complete abstraction is something of a departure for Murphy; years of shooting commercially in New York City led to assignments ranging from The Cosby Show to a contemplative photo essay on the Cloisters for the Metropolitan Museum of Art. His fossil photographs demonstrate his ongoing interest in the confluence points between art and science while evoking a sense of time and history.

With the new abstract works, interpretation is left to the viewer.

Muted tones strike graphic forms in compositional tensions balanced with subtle accidental “drawings.” Rough textures contrast with transparencies and suggestions of great depth.

Murphy recently had a solo show at the Museum of Natural History in Florence, Italy, and he was named Photographer of the Year last December at the Woodstock Artists Association and Museum. To view his work, visit www.artandfossils. wordpress.com.

BAU is open Fridays from 5 to 9 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays from 12 noon to 6 p.m. For more information, call (917) 459-7849 or visit www.baugallery.com.

Windows on Main Street opens on Saturday in Beacon Beacon, for anyone who has not visited in a few years, is a city transformed. Where once there were galleries and restaurants here and there along the river city’s long Main Street, now the march from river to waterfalls and mountain is filled with destination spots, mostly upscale, as well as a healthy number of surviving Momand-Pop establishments whose history stretches back into the community’s blue-collar roots. Think health food stores, brew pubs, specialty boutiques and galleries along with the venerable Alps Sweet Shop.

And starting again this Saturday, August 9, with one of Beacon’s now-renowned streetlong festivals, the tenth annual WoMSX, or Windows on Main Street public art spectacular, takes the whole Beacon phenomenon several steps further with the help of 35 local artists competing for prizes filling storefronts and plenty of upstairs windows with examples of their creativity and wit. Prizes include a $1,000 Grand Prize juried by the show’s founders, a Gallerists’ Pick juried by local gallerists and a People’s Choice Award juried by the public via live online voting.

The entire streetlong installation, which many now see as one of the inspirations

and guiding lights for Beacon’s Main Street renaissance (along with the presence of Dia: Beacon down by the river, the creation of artist spaces in the old high school and a general rise in fortunes for communities around the centralizing city), will stay up through September 13, with several interior spaces adding to the fun with Meet the Artist events.

“Windows on Main Street began as a way to connect Beacon’s residents, businesses and artists,” according to the event’s organizers. “The original idea was to use art as a catalyst for economic growth and to create an open dialogue between all aspects of the community by asking artists to create a dynamic, sitespecific installation in a commercial window. Each piece is a combination of the artist’s style and the unique qualities of the business.”

Sponsoring businesses include bagel shops and banks, beauty parlors and restaurants, law offices and butcher shops, barbershops and art galleries, pretty much the entire local business community, spurred on by Beacon Arts, one of the region’s leading community arts entities.

Although the windows art installations will be available 24/7 for the coming month, with maps available online and at many locations up and down Beacon’s Main Street, things open and close with big events that are part-and-parcel with the city’s monthly Second Saturdays cultural bashes. An opening party will be held on Saturday, August 9 from 6 to 8 p.m. at Bank Square Coffeehouse at 129 Main Street, with a closing party and awards ceremony from 6 to 8 p.m. on Saturday, September 13 at Quinn’s at 330 Main Street.

Additional art will be on view at Bank Square throughout the month’s run of the entire WOMSX installation.

– Paul Smart Windows on Main Street opening reception, Saturday, August 9, 6-8 p.m., Bank Square Coffeehouse, 129 Main Street, Beacon, exhibition along Main Street through September 13; (917) 407-9244, www.beaconwindows.org, www.beaconarts.org.

Artists on the Street this Saturday on Huguenot Street Historic Huguenot Street will host Artists on the Street, an all-day en plein air event showcasing the talents of more than 15 Hudson Valley artists.

The event is an opportunity for the public to watch and engage with local artists as they work, creating paintings inspired by the landscape of the National Historic Landmark District.

A number of last year’s artists are returning for the second annual event on Saturday, August 9, including the event’s creator Kevin Cook, Mira Fink and E. S. DeSanna. Maps will be provided designating the location of each artist across the site. After a day of painting in the open air, the artists will bring their finished works to the DuBois Fort at 81 Huguenot Street at 4 p.m. to be displayed during an hourlong catered reception. The event is free and open to the public, rain or shine.

Historic Huguenot Street encompasses 30 buildings across ten acres of the original 1678 settlement, including seven stone houses that date to the early 18th century. It was founded in 1894 as the Huguenot Patriotic, Historical and Monumental Society to preserve French and Dutch heritage. For more information, call (845) 255-1660 or e-mail kaitlin@huguenotstreet.org.

Kislin exhibit opens on Saturday at Wired Gallery in High Falls The Wired Gallery at 11 Mohonk Road in High Falls will hold an opening reception on Saturday, August 9 from 5 to 7 p.m. for “Past Things, New Beginnings,” an exhibit of assemblage sculptures by Woodstock artist Lenny Kislin, who creates sculpture from antique rarities and oddities, transforming them into intriguing assemblage pieces. Kislin’s works range from sardonic to irreverent, combining his eye for rarity, sharp wit and sense of humor to create unique pieces.

The exhibit remains on view through Sunday, September 28. Gallery hours are Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. or by appointment. For more information, call (682) 564-5613 or visit www.thewiredgallery.com.

ALMANAC WEEKLY

August 7, 2014

PHILIP SEYMOUR HOFFMAN WAS UTTERLY FEARLESS before the cameras or in front of an audience, exposing himself to pity or ridicule as he portrayed mainly creeps and losers, bullies and pornographers, criminals and hucksters, people with something to hide, people who struggled and often did not prevail – and made us believe in them.

Through a glass, smudgily A Most Wanted Man is a worthy capstone to Philip Seymour Hoffman’s brilliant acting career

T

he worlds of cinema and the stage lost one of their hardestworking, most talented and accomplished character actors this past winter when Philip Seymour Hoffman succumbed to a drug overdose. Hoffman wasn’t blessed with matinée-idol good looks, but he counted his frumpy, dumpy appearance as an asset when it came to being able to undertake a broad range of interesting roles. He was utterly fearless before the cameras or in front of an audience, exposing himself to pity or ridicule as he portrayed mainly creeps and losers, bullies and pornographers, criminals and hucksters, people with something to hide, people who struggled and often did not prevail – and made us believe in them.

Thus, it seems fitting that the great thespian’s last starring role was in a movie whose visual aesthetic keeps returning to the idea of transparency or the lack thereof: Anton Corbijn’s interpretation of the John le Carré espionage novel A Most Wanted Man. Before he became known as a maker of stylish music videos, the Dutch director cut his teeth doing still photography, and that DNA leaves its marks all over this tense, thoughtful, unglamorous spy thriller. As the characters dance their high-stakes pavanne through the glum, seedy streets of the German city of Hamburg, any window, mirror or shiny surface becomes an excuse to have an image blur or dissolve into glare. Two people meeting secretly in an apartment

undergoing renovation struggle to connect through translucent hanging plastic tarps; a character is held prisoner in a room built from glass blocks. It all feels at times like one of those dreams where you’re trying your hardest to move forward, but it’s like walking underwater.

That’s probably what Günther Bachmann’s job is starting to feel like by the time we meet him at the outset of A Most Wanted Man. After a more prestigious gig running a German government intelligence unit in Beirut falls apart and most of his team members are killed due to a CIA flub, the veteran spy portrayed by Hoffman gets demoted to a clandestine squad whose job is to keep a low profile while doing things that aren’t technically legal. They’re assigned to Hamburg because that’s where Mohammed Atta and company organized the 9/11 plot, and the German government is embarrassed that it didn’t catch them. Bachmann and his crew are supposed to make sure, whatever it takes, that terrorists don’t continue to operate in that town, which is a crossroads for all sorts of international schemers because it’s a busy shipping port.

Masterpieces of Polish Cinema at Upstate Films

T

hough little-known in the US except for the work of expatriates ending up in Hollywood like silent-film siren Pola Negri and directors Roman Polanski and Agnieszka Holland, Polish cinema has a history as long and deep as the art of cinema itself. In fact, possibly the earliestever movie camera, called the Pleograf, was patented in 1894 by a Polish inventor named Kazimierz Prószynski – right around the same time that the more influential Cinématographe was being developed in France by Léon Bouly and the Lumière brothers.

The first movie theater in Poland opened in 1899, in Lodz, and by 1902 Prószynski was creating both short narrative films and documentaries; one of the latter, whose title translates as Skating Rink in the Royal Baths, is still in existence. The earliest surviving feature film, Anton for the First Time in Warsaw, was made in 1908 by Antoni Fertner. The first-ever stop-motion animated film, Beautiful Lukanida (1912), was made by a Polish filmmaker, Władysław Starewicz, using insect puppets.

The upheavals of the Russian Revolution and two World Wars forced many filmmakers from the area that was sometimes Poland, sometimes Lithuania, sometimes Russia to head west and find more amenable working conditions in other countries. There was a spurt of nationalistic epics made in between the wars, when Poland achieved nationhood; but the industry didn’t really start to regain its early momentum until the postwar period. Under the Soviet regime, filmmaking was nationalized as Film Polski under the Stalinist Aleksander Ford, who later went on to teach at the National Film School in Lodz. But out of Ford’s shop emerged some of the greatest talents in late-20th-century European cinema, including Polanski, Krzysztof Kieslowski and the great Andrzej Wajda.

Two of Wajda’s best-known classics, Ashes and Diamonds (1958) and Man of Iron (1981), along with his less-familiar Innocent Sorcerers (1960), are included in a traveling series of “Masterpieces of Polish Cinema” curated by Martin Scorsese, 11 of which will be hosted by Upstate Films beginning this Sunday and running through early October. Set on the last day of World War II and the first day of peace under a new communist regime, Ashes and Diamonds is told from the point of view of a young Polish resistance soldier who has to decide whether or not to lay down his arms. Scorsese has written that the film “affected me so deeply that I paid small homage by giving Charlie a pair of similar sunglasses in Mean Streets.”

Ashes and Diamonds will be screened at 1:45 p.m. on Sunday, August 10 at Upstate Films’s flagship cinema in Rhinebeck and again on Sunday, August 17 in its Woodstock location, at a time yet to be announced. Man of Iron, which won the Palme d’Or at Cannes and was nominated for a Best Foreign Language Film Oscar, is a fictionalized version of the rise of the Solidarity movement amongst

Saving the planet, one pixel at a time Dark Optimists convene onscreen at Basilica Hudson The challenges of radically changing times sometimes demand new philosophical constructs. Nothing in the experience of people living today has really prepared us to deal with the ultimate ramifications of earthshaking issues like climate change and peak oil. We can react to these changes in a variety of ways: We can deny that anything different is really happening; we can proclaim the imminence of the End Times; or we can conclude that our planet is going to ecological hell no matter what we try to do about it. But if anyone can save the human race from the lethal consequences of its own consumptive excesses, it will likely be those who embrace the new cultural meme of “Dark Optimism.”

The premise of this philosophy, as codified by Transition activist and author Shaun Chamberlin, is that we must accept that things are getting really bad and are going to get much worse, but also that there are still things that people can do to stave off the worst possible outcomes and help humanity adapt to tomorrow’s new reality. Dark Optimism advocates

hardheaded inquiry and citizen activism, with an emphasis on collaborative effort as essential if humanity is to have any chance of saving our own habitat. In this worldview, facing harsh facts need not lead to despair – if we work together.

Inspired by this philosophy, a group of artists calling themselves Colony of Light came together in last summer at MoMA PS1 in New York City to create an intentional community – or as they’re calling it, “a provisionally Utopian collective of artists and filmmakers” – with the purpose of making artworks and performances that promote hope and motivation in these darkening times. The collective, which consists of Basma Alsharif, Peter Burr, Bonnie Jones, Ted Kennedy, Jodie Mack, Xander Marro, Aily Nash, Ben Russell, Jonathan Schwartz, Fern Silva and Ruth Somalo, is reconvening this month at Basilica Hudson to collaborate on some new works. And to celebrate, Basilica Hudson is presenting a series of August screenings of films that in some way capture the zeitgeist of the Dark Optimism movement.

The series kicks off on Saturday, August 9 with Ben Rivers and Ben Russell’s A Spell to Ward off the Darkness, the film that is credited with initially bringing the Colony of Light artists together in the first place.

Starring black metal musician Robert A. A. Lowe as an unnamed character who joins a 15-person collective on a small Estonian island, the movie is described as “a radical proposition for the existence of Utopia in the present” and “an inquiry

Two of Andrzej Wajda’s best-known classics, Ashes and Diamonds (above, 1958) and Man of Iron (1981), along with his less-familiar Innocent Sorcerers (1960), are included in a series of “Masterpieces of Polish Cinema” curated by Martin Scorsese.

the shipyard workers in Gdansk. It will screen in Rhinebeck only on Wednesday, September 10. Innocent Sorcerers, a love story, will show on Wednesday, August 27 in Rhinebeck and on Saturday, August 30 in Woodstock.

Another star of the postwar Polish Film School was Jerzy Kawalerowicz, represented by three titles in the “Masterpieces of Polish Cinema” series: Night Train (1959), scheduled for Sunday, August 31 in Rhinebeck; Mother Joan of the Angels (1960), to be shown on Sunday, September 14 in Rhinebeck and again on Saturday, September 27 in Woodstock; and the recently restored costume epic Pharaoh (1965), screening on Sunday, September 21 in Rhinebeck and Saturday, October 4 in Woodstock.

Beginning in the 1970s, an aesthetic movement arose in Poland known as the “cinema of moral anxiety,” whose leading light, Krzysztof Kieslowski, later gained international fame through his Dekalog series of ten one-hour TV films based on the Ten Commandments and with his Three Colors trilogy filmed in France. Kieslowski’s highly acclaimed A Short Film about Killing (1988), a psychological and ethical study of murder, will be screened on Sunday, September 7 in Rhinebeck. Another gem by the same director, Blind Chance (1981) – a sort of Rashomon-style tale with three different possible outcomes of a man running for a train and either catching or missing it – will be shown in Woodstock only on Saturday, September 13.

Also included in the series are Andrzej Munk’s 1957 romantic/realist masterpiece Eroica, screening on Saturday, August 16 in Rhinebeck and Sunday, August 24 in Woodstock, and Camouflage, Krzysztof Zanussi’s 1976 comedy about conformity in academia, showing on Wednesday, October 1 in Rhinebeck. Wojciech J. Has’s fantastical/allegorical tale The Saragossa Manuscript (1964), which nudged Luís Buñuel toward Surrealism and was reputedly the favorite film ever of Jerry Garcia, wraps up the series in Rhinebeck on October 8.

So now’s your chance to educate yourself on the rich legacy of Polish cinema, or rediscover classics that are not often seen on these shores. Tickets to most screenings at either Upstate Films venue typically cost $10 general admission, $6 for members.

t’s about the community, they say.

“We’re not a coffeeshop and we’re not a restaurant,” says Jake Stortini of the place that he co-owns with Jesse Feldmus. But Murray’s, their place in Tivoli, clearly boasts the best of both, serving an enthusiastic clientele. Tivoli is a quirky little hamlet just north of Bard College, with a lively social scene and some good restaurants; but until three years ago, it was lacking this kind of cozy gathering spot. “There was a big need for a coffeeshop in Tivoli,” says Jake, who met partner Jesse their freshman year at Bard.

All kinds of people from diverse walks of life keep the “all-day brunch café” crowded every day (except Wednesdays, when it is closed). Jake recounts as an example a story about the 82-year-old local couple sitting at a table near a couple of Bard students. They all struck up a conversation, and the four delightedly ran into each other again there another day.

And many of the regulars keep coming in for the imaginative sandwiches, salads, egg dishes and other brunchy dishes cooked by executive chef Amy Lawton, who has been with them since they opened three years ago. Formerly at Wild Hive in Clinton, her roots are in local food, her employers say: “She’s the textbook locavore.”

Chef Amy planted a lush garden in back of the restaurant to provide ingredients from curly kale to nasturtiums that are as local as it gets; and as soon as the kitchen closes at 4 p.m., she’s out foraging, currently for mushrooms. Everything else is nearly as local, sourced mostly from local producers – within 40 to 50 miles at most, Jake says – and with sustainable growing practices as well.

Inside and out of Murray’s in Tivoli

Murray’s is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day but Wednesday, with the kitchen closing at 4 p.m. Find it at 76 Broadway on Tivoli’s main drag, at (845) 757 6003 or www.murraystivoli.com.

Each Saturday there’s a new menu, but always an egg sandwich, a breakfast burrito and the popular kale and eggs ($9). On a recent incarnation of the menu, the egg sandwich came with cheddar or chèvre ($3.50), with bacon, sausage or greens available as extras ($1.50) and a melted Camembert and tomato option on the week’s offerings ($10). The burrito was stuffed with black beans, cilantro pesto, sharp cheddar and scrambled eggs, with chipotle sour cream on the side ($9).

The Apricot Party (Jesse’s fave, $5) with blackberries, oats and a baked biscuit with whipped cream on top, is morphing as we speak into Peaches & Cream, as fresh local peaches come into season. Another current favorite of Jesse’s is the dandelion greens salad with garlic scapes, tomato and mozzarella in a balsamic vinaigrette

Dark wood floors and tables don’t keep Murray’s from feeling airy, bright and homey. A current photography exhibit (the art changes every couple of months) is by Sam Rosenblatt.

Three years ago, at age 20, these guys opened the place to fill a local need for a coffeeshop, but Murray’s is ever-evolving.

First they supplemented the baked goods that go so well with fine coffee by adding breakfast sandwiches; then that evolved into a full menu of brunch options. They even served dinner for a year, but then opted to stop. “It was great,” says Jesse, “but we would rather stick to what we do best.”

Future plans include an open-minded, following-the-seasons approach and seeing where things go. In any case, it seems to be working, and Murray’s is loved

by Tivolians and visitors alike. Jesse and Jake are too busy to even spend quality time with their cat, named (of course) Murray. “On weekends you can’t move in here,” says Jake.

25th anniversary at Zena Cornfield on Saturday The Woodstock Land Conservancy (WLC) will hold a 25th anniversary event at the Zena Cornfield on August 9 from 1 to 4:30 p.m. (rain date: Sunday, August 10). The family-friendly program and activities will begin with a Native American blessing of the land by interfaith minister Jim Davis, followed by music, en plein air work created throughout the field by eight artists and photographers, a history of the cornfield by town historian Richard Heppner and a geological overview of the valley and Overlook by Dr. Robert Titus.

The conservation campaign for the 22-acre Zena Cornfield in 1989 was the event that helped launch the Woodstock Land Conservancy on its mission of saving open lands and habitats in the eastern Catskills. More than 500 concerned and determined citizens, inspired by Gay Leonhardt, the board of the new organization and volunteers reached deep into their pockets in a community effort to raise an astounding $160,000, through a homegrown pledge campaign, to save the cornfield from being developed. It remains one of the few open fields in Woodstock available to the public.

Attendees at the celebration are encouraged to bring a picnic lunch to eat at the tables that will be on the field that day. Children will enjoy a nature walk, face-painting, storytelling by Emmy Award-winner Gioia Timpanelli and a treasure hunt. WLC will provide freshly baked cornbread, corn-on-the-cob with seasoned butters and lemonade.

The cost is $20 per person or $30 per family. Proceeds benefit the Woodstock Land Conservancy. For more information, visit www.zena25.com.

SECRETS IN THE SOIL

August 7, 2014

WHAT WAS THE AREA LIKE WHEN THE PALEO-INDIANS WERE HERE? It has been likened to a park tundra, which is a tundra environment punctuated by small stands of trees. The Paleo-Indians hunted reindeer and possibly elk, as well as mammoths and maybe giant beaver.

Captions Top left and right: Artifacts from the Abeel Street dig in Kingston by the Armadillo restaurant

Archaeologist Joseph Diamond gives us the latest on the oldest artifacts in Ulster County

S

tone houses, 350-year-old documents in old Dutch, even a wampum belt: The Hudson Valley doesn’t lack for history.

But it turns out that human presence in the area goes back much, much further: to 10,000 BC, a few thousand years after the last ice sheet retreated. Dr. Joseph Diamond, professor of Archaeology at SUNY-New Paltz, is one of the few people who have provided the evidence, digging up and identifying fragments of stone tools of unimaginable age from sites beneath city streets and under riverbanks.

In 1998, Diamond set up a summer field school for his students at Historic Huguenot Street, which has been a rich source of artifacts, and he has worked on digs from New York City to Canada.

A native of Ulster County who was been fascinated with archaeology since the sixth grade, Diamond recently spoke at Kingston’s Buried Treasures monthly lecture series and to Almanac Weekly’s Lynn Woods about his latest finds and what they tell us about life in the midHudson Valley thousands of years ago.

Last summer Kingston installed new bluestone sidewalks and curbs on Abeel Street, located in the Rondout District along the Rondout Creek. Your field technician Frank Spade was on the site and discovered a trove of artifacts.

What are the requirements to have an archaeologist on-site for a project?

Whenever an excavation project involves state and/or federal funding, as this one did, you need to have an archaeological survey or monitoring.

Either an archaeologist is required to do a survey beforehand, or be at the site while the work is being done, as was the case at Abeel Street.

What did Frank find?

He started to find prehistoric tools in some of the fill the workers were moving around when they were putting in new water and gas lines and redoing the road and sidewalks. He came to one location that looked like the original soil and excavated 12 onemeter squares, where he got a nice group of artifacts dating from circa 6,000 BC to circa 800 AD.

Where exactly was this?

Across from the Armadillo restaurant, by the site of the former Forst Meatpacking Plant. That site, where he found projectile points, knives and other artifacts, was called Abeel Street Pre-Contact Site #1. A second site, called Abeel Street Pre-Contact Site #2, was on the eastern side of Abeel Street and uphill from Broadway.

Describe some of the major finds.

A nutting stone, used for cracking nuts, which was big enough to fit in your hand and was pitted on two sides.

One hammerstone, which was used for making stone tools. It’s a round stone with battering on one end. Two scrapers. Probably around ten knifelike objects, which were used for cutting or were preforms for another tool such as a projectile point. We found nine projectile points, and point fragments.

Also, one little fragment of reddishbrown prehistoric pottery, which was manufactured by the coil method.

Downtown Kingston was developed in the 19th century, so it seems amazing there would be undisturbed soil from thousands of years ago.

We were lucky to get that one section of soil that hadn’t been disturbed from the 19th century until the early 1900s. During construction episodes on Abeel Street they took off the dark soil on top but didn’t get into the yellow subsoil, where the artifacts were, which was about 20 inches down from the sidewalk. We were surprised to find anything at all stratified and still intact, which means there are probably other places in Kingston with a similar situation.

What do the artifacts tell us about the area?

We have a very early occupation right in the downtown Rondout area, dating from circa 6,000 BC to c. 800 AD. The climate would have been similar, with species such as chestnut, acorn, butternut, walnut and hickory providing food for people. We have all of those today, with the exception of the chestnut.

Native Americans of this time period would have had what we call a restricted or

seasonal pattern of mobility. People were living all around the area, moving from one locale to another seasonally. They would have been moving from the Town of Ulster to Hurley, down to Rosendale, around Port Ewen and the Town of Esopus. They would have been along the Hudson and its tributaries when the shad and herring, striped bass and sturgeon were migrating in the spring and moved to the high locations along the rivers in the fall to harvest nuts.

They hunted for turtles, rabbits, squirrels, deer and probably elk, of which there was a decent population then, all year long.

Also they would have hunted for bear, beaver and river otter, as well as migratory waterfowl in the spring and fall.

They would also have gathered fruits such as berries when they became available in the spring and summer. All in all, they were hunters and gatherers who took advantage of all the food resources that the Hudson Valley had to offer.

What about the artifacts that were dug up at Kingston’s Persen House?

They’re owned by Ulster County and [whatever is not displayed at the Persen House, which is owned by the county] are in the county archives on Foxhall Avenue in Kingston.

“There are a lot of sites that people are actively looting in the Hudson Valley. Most of them date from circa 8,000 BC to European Contact, and they’re on state, county and town property...

We’re losing portions of the prehistory of the Hudson Valley.”

When did farming start here?

By around 800 AD they would have had horticulture or agriculture, combined with hunting and gathering.

What were their houses like?

Back in 6,000 BC, circular or oblong houses made of saplings covered with elm bark. Later, the houses got larger and became long ovals or long rectangles constructed out of saplings with a covering of elm bark.

Where are the artifacts from Abeel Street now?

Right now they’re on my back porch, and they’re going to the Planning and Engineering Department of the City of Kingston.

Have you found other prehistoric artifacts in nearby areas?

Yes. A couple of years ago I partially excavated a site in Port Ewen for the Mid-Hudson Federal Credit Union building, on Broadway.

We found artifacts dating from circa 10,000 BC up to European Contact, including a Paleo-Indian point from that early phase and copper projectile points and a bead from the Contact Period. Other Paleo-Indian points have been found by people who were clay-mining in the late 19 th century near Kingston Point.

What was the area like when the PaleoIndians were here?

It has been likened to a park tundra, which is a tundra environment punctuated by small stands of trees. The Paleo-Indians hunted reindeer and possibly elk, as well as mammoths and maybe giant beaver.

What have you found with your students at the Huguenot Street dig in New Paltz?

The occupations on Huguenot Street extend back to circa 7,000 BC. People normally settle near a water source, which in this case is the Wallkill River, which is several hundred feet downhill from where we are excavating. From 2013 to 2014 we’ve excavated about 46 square meters of area on the Reformed Church property on

August 7, 2014 Huguenot Street. Each excavation unit has provided us with information on either the historic Huguenots, historic structures on the site or Native American pit features that have excellent evidence of prehistoric diet. For me, each site that we excavate is like a building block, and collectively they give us a look at what was happening in the Hudson Valley over the last several thousand years.

ALMANAC WEEKLY Are you concerned about people illegally digging in some of the area’s prehistoric archaeological sites?

Yes, I’m always worried about this.

There are a lot of sites that people are

actively looting in the Hudson Valley.

Most of them date from circa 8,000 BC to European Contact, and they’re on state, county and town property.

People have been arrested on state

property, but on county and town property, [the authorities] generally look the other way. We’re losing portions of the prehistory of the Hudson Valley because of this. Most of these

How do you identify a Paleo-Indian projectile point – or any fragmented ancient stone tool, for that matter?

The points from circa 10,000 BC are fluted, and they were manufactured differently. I’m being handed “artifacts” all day long by my students that are just pointed rocks. You get accustomed to know what to look for: the material, the shape of the stone and the way it’s worked. When you see it, it jumps out at you.

What do you do when you dig up a skeleton?

You have to alert the landowner, the police, the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation and perhaps the New York Department of Environmental Conservation [DEC], depending on the situation. If it’s a recent burial, the police alert the coroner’s office. If it’s archaeological, the Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation and/or DEC would contact the Stockbridge Munsee, who live in Wisconsin and are the descendants of the Native people from this area.

Describe the prehistoric quarries in the Hudson Valley.

They’re outcroppings of chert, which is similar to flint and ideal for making tools. There are locations on both sides of the river, but the only one that is protected is Flint Mine Hill in Greene County, which was bought by the Long Island Chapter of the New York State Archaeological Association specifically to keep it from being looted by artifact collectors.

The Lake Champlain Maritime Museum (LCMM)’s schooner Lois McClure will be in port at Waryas Park in Poughkeepsie on Tuesday, August 12 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The visit commemorates the War of 1812 Bicentennial. This year’s thematic and interpretive message is “1814: From War to Peace.”

“The shipbuilding races and naval battles of 1814 helped to determine the outcome of the War of 1812 and left a legacy of shipwrecks beneath the waters of the Great Lakes, St. Lawrence River and Lake Champlain,” explains project director Art Cohn. “Our outreach program explores history where it happened, on the anniversary of the cross-border war that ushered in 200 years of peace. We’ll be sharing new information about the crucial role of the New York City shipwrights who came to Lake Champlain to build the fleet that Commodore Macdonough took into battle.”

Visitors can board the schooner free of charge to explore the 88-foot-long boat “from stem to stern.” In recent years, a tangible legacy of shipwrecks from the War of 1812 has been discovered at the bottom of the lakes and waterways where naval history was made. These shipwrecks and related sites on land form a powerful connection to the little-known war, which closed the final chapter in North American boundary disputes and ushered in two centuries of peaceful alliance between the US, Britain and Canada.

The schooner will carry copies of a newly released book, Coffins of the Brave: Lake Shipwrecks from the War of 1812, which presents more than a dozen underwater studies of 1812 warships.

Madeleine Albright brooch collection at FDR Library In 1997, Madeleine Albright was named the first female secretary of State and became, at that time, the highest-ranking woman in the history

of the US government. While serving under president Bill Clinton, first as US ambassador to the United Nations and then as secretary of State, Albright became known for wearing brooches that purposefully conveyed her views about the situation at hand.

“While president George H. W. Bush had been known for saying, ‘Read my lips,’” she has been quoted as saying, “I began urging colleagues and reporters to ‘Read my pins.’”

Those brooches are now part of a traveling exhibition making a stop at the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum in Hyde Park from Saturday, August 9 through Sunday, November 2.

“Read My Pins: The Madeleine Albright Collection” features more than 200 symbolic and historically significant pins

and explores how Albright used jewelry as a diplomatic, political and social tool.

A highlight of the exhibition will be the brooch that began Albright’s unusual use of pins as a tool in her diplomatic arsenal.

After Saddam Hussein’s governmentcontrolled press referred to her as a “serpent” in 1994, then-US ambassador to the United Nations Albright wore a golden snake brooch pinned to her suit for her next meeting on Iraq. The exhibit features the famous snake brooch among many other pins with similar stories – some associated with important world events,

others gifts from international leaders or valued friends.

One of her most original pieces is a pin made specifically for her. The silver brooch shows the head of Lady Liberty with two watch faces for eyes, one of which is upside down – allowing both her and her visitor to see when it is time for an appointment to end.

Sponsored by the library’s nonprofit partner, the Roosevelt Institute, and organized by the Museum of Arts and Design in New York, the exhibition will be on display in the William J. vanden

Calling all youth interested in fun and informal music-making this summer: The Bard Preparatory Division String Ensemble invites students ages 8 to 14 with at least two years of private instruction on an orchestral string instrument (violin, viola, cello, double bass) to participate in free, open rehearsals from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. on the following four Saturdays: August 9, 16, 23 and 30.

Rehearsals take place at the Bard College Conservatory of Music’s László Z. Bitó ’60 Conservatory Building at Bard College, located on Campus Road in Annandaleon-Hudson.

We’re lucky to have two dedicated water parks in our area, Zoom Flume and SplashDown Beach, and our family enjoys both of them. Both parks hold appeal for all ages with their variety of slides, wave pools and eateries. Zoom Flume also has some wonderful established foliage, so you can relax in naturally shady spots when you want a break from the sun. And did you know that outside food is allowed at Zoom Flume?

SplashDown Beach is accessible and easy to get to, since it’s right off Route 9 and close to all of the main roads. And if you’re wishing that SPLASHDOWN BEACH you could feel the sand between your toes without driving another hour, you’re in luck: Splashdown has two lounge chair areas, complete with sand.

I was pleasantly surprised by some of the park updates this year. If you’ve been curious to try ziplining before committing to an afternoon or a day of it, Zoom Flume now offers the Gravity Gorge zipline for ages 7 and up. One ride costs $8, or you can take two rides for $12.

I noticed Splashdown’s new Safari Outpost attraction while in line for the Cowabunga slides. I looked around and thought to myself, “Ha, that’s funny – that looks like a tiger resting in a pen down there. Wait, what? That’s a tiger down there!” Safari Outpost does daily animal shows except on Mondays, included with park admission.

Day rates at Zoom Flume are $27.99 per person, $20.99 for children age 7 and under. Children ages 2 and under get in free. Zoom Flume also offers a spectator pass for $20.99 for anyone interested in just sunning and picnicking.

SplashDown’s rates are $28, and they offer military discounts and half-day pricing as well as cabana rentals. Both parks offer online ticketing, group rates and locker rentals. Get there soon: Both parks’ last day of the season is September 1.

Zoom Flume Water Park is located at 20 Shady Glen Road in East Durham. For more information, call (800) 888-3586 or visit www.zoomflume.com. Splashdown Beach is located at 16 Old Route 9 in West Fishkill. For more information, call (845) 897-9600 or visit www.splashdownbeach.com.

Madeleine Albright’s “Read My Pins!” at FDR Library For all of you British royals fans who followed Duchess Catherine’s daily fashion choices during her recent tour abroad, you know the history and symbolism behind each thoughtfully chosen accessory. But did you know that our country’s own former secretary of state, Madeleine Albright, did that for years with her own jewelry? Learn more about the messages or moods conveyed by pieces such as the serpent pin worn in a meeting with Iraqi officials after being called “an unparalleled serpent” by Saddam Hussein’s poet-in-residence, or her favorite heart pin made by her then-5year-old daughter.

This “Read My Pins!” traveling exhibition is on display in the William J. vanden Heuvel Special Exhibits Gallery at the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum from August 9 to November 2. The FDR site is located at 4097 Albany Post Road in Hyde Park.

Hudson Valley first aid products ’Tis the season for all things outdoors, which means that you may need to upgrade your first-aid arsenal.

Here are three local products to help you and your family heal all kinds of hurts this summer and all year ’round.

Or give them as gifts and impress anyone in the world with your savvy locally sourced selections.

Topricin: I am so fascinated by this product and its origins that I’m going to tell you more about it in a future Kids’ Almanac column. My friends swear by this homeopathic pain relief cream for muscle soreness. You want this in your medicine cabinet at home, as well as in your car for muscle support after laps at the Ulster County Pool or hiking Bonticou Crag in New Paltz. The company is based in Rhinebeck. (800) 959-1007, www. topricin.com.

Holistic First Aid Kits: You’d prefer natural alternatives for treating the mishaps that come up during s’moresmaking over a campfire, or scrapes and bruises from flashlight-tag-turnedwrestling with the cousins, but you don’t have the time or energy to set something up. That’s where Dragonfly Holistic First Aid Kits and Travel Holistic First Aid Kits come in, including homeopathic remedies and locally made Three Sisters Herbals products. Dragonfly Holistic is based in Poughkeepsie and Rhinebeck. dragonflyholisticllc@gmail.com, www. dragonflyholistic.com.

Insect Sting Ointment: Regular readers already know how I feel about Wright Naturals Bug Stuff Herbal Insect Repellent, which works on me like an off-switch for mosquitos. But how about an off-switch for pain or itching for the bugs that do get you? Or poison ivy? Or splinters? Just keep a jar of Insect Sting Ointment in your backpack, and you’ll always be prepared, especially if your crew refuses to wear shoes all summer.

Wright Naturals is located in Tillson. www.wrightnaturals.com.

Summer reading for NYC expats Here’s a great summer read for you: Goodbye to All That: Writers on Loving and Leaving New York, edited by Kingston’s Sari Botton. It’s a terrific book for any time of year, but I think that its 28-essay format, rather than one continuous story, each inspired

by Joan Didion’s famous essay of the same title, especially lends itself to summertime, where you might find yourself interrupted at unpredictable intervals between sandcastle-building and ice cream-licking and mini-golfing.

If you are a New Yorker who moved upstate to the Hudson Valley, you’re in good company: There are a lot of you here, especially after having kids, and this book will connect with some of that experience.

But what about the rest of us – those of us who never lived in New York City, who don’t have any particular allegiance to a specific café or even a neighborhood? I am telling you, this is an anthology for all of us.

I loved it because while the themes are centered around New York, it’s more than that: It’s about that time in our lives when we were establishing who we were, when anything felt possible and a significant

EVENT

Down by the Riverside

I

enjoy park festivals, and when it’s a park festival along the Hudson River, I say, “Two thumbs up!” I just love every time that the community reclaims its riverfront!

On Saturday, August 9 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., head over to Upper Landing Park in Poughkeepsie for a day of free entertainment, including performances by Soñando the salsa band, the Spirit of Unity Band, POOK (Percussion Orchestra of Kingston), Bindlestiff Family Circus (pictured above) and Story Laurie, as well as children’s activities.

Nearby parking is limited, so consider walking down or taking public transportation. Upper Landing Park is located at 83 North Water Street in Poughkeepsie. For more information, visit http://upperlanding.org.

amount of discomfort could be tolerated to achieve that vision. And we live that way for a while. And then what? “It all changes – even institutions, even concrete towers, even, or perhaps most of all, our very selves,” notes Dani Shapiro in her raw piece about betrayal of her younger self, “My City.” Sure, the references in Goodbye are all about Gotham, but Meghan Daum’s contribution, “My Misspent Youth,” also feels like financial therapy (is that a thing?). Kids’ Almanac readers will connect with plenty of Botton’s Goodbye: as grownups making different choices from their youth, valuing new priorities; as parents with kids of their own; and as individuals whose lives headed in a different direction from what was planned, or sometimes even desired.

I left Goodbye to All That wanting a sequel, and good news! Botton’s next book, Never Can Say Goodbye: Writers on Their Unshakable Love for New York, comes out in October. I recommend Goodbye to All That for anyone living anywhere, but it feels extra-special to read it when you live right here. For more information, visit http://goodbyetonycbook.com. To learn more about the editor, who runs the Anvil Gallery in Uptown Kingston with her husband Brian Macaluso, visit http:// saribotton.com.

Kids’ Almanac Writes Kids’ Almanac thanks Jennifer Castle for supplying writing prompts during the month of August. Jennifer Castle is the author of the young adult novels The Beginning of After and You Look Different in Real Life, both from HarperCollins. She lives in New Paltz with her husband, two daughters, two cats and about 20 notebook volumes

of the ongoing journal that she has kept since 1985.

Here is her journal prompt for the week. Remember to post your piece on the Almanac Weekly Facebook page: www.facebook.com/pages/almanacweekly/287633831270607.

Prompt: Journaling is where we really figure out the stories inside and around us, and where we are all writers, for ourselves. I believe everyone can and should do it! These prompts are designed to help you start, get back into or freshen up a habit of regular journaling. But first, some tips: Rather than using a fancy blank journal – way too much pressure for the words to be fancy, too – buy a cheap marbled composition or spiral notebook and make it your own with stickers, collage or drawings on the cover. Set rules for yourself, like you will write for ten minutes straight or fill up an entire page, or write on Tuesdays. Keep the pen moving. Resist the urge to cross out. And always: the less you think, the better. Now: Sit down before bedtime and write your day backwards. What did you do just before you picked up the pen?

And then before that, and before that?

We usually recount our days chronologically, from morning to night, but going from night to morning might help you see or express something that you didn’t expect.

NIGHT SKY

Don’t miss the MegaMoon It’s the biggest Moon in three years

I

t’s coming up Sunday night: the closest and largest Moon of 2014. What’s cool is that the Moon reaches an extreme perigee the very same hour in which it is full.

As a result, Sunday’s Full Moon will be about as large as possible.

Now, the actual size-boost is about six percent above an average Full Moon, and 11 percent over a small one, like this past January’s Full Moon. Even 11 percent is not at all dramatic, visually. The human eye can barely see the difference. The size enhancement is dwarfed by a separate factor: the Moon illusion.

When you see any Moon rising, it looks enormous. So between 8 and 8:30 p.m.

Sunday evening, you will see a gigantic-looking Full Moon low in the east. But this is mostly a psycho-optical effect imposed on all celestial objects near the skyline. Even the Big Dipper looks supersized when it’s low, as you can see these nights at around midnight when it scrapes the northern horizon.

The science behind all this may actually be cooler than the visual observation.

You see, the Moon’s orbit changes shape.

Sometimes it’s rounder; at other times it’s more squashed and oval. Well, it so happens the Moon’s orbit will reach its most stretched-out elliptical shape this weekend. The result will be a Moon that is able to approach our planet more closely than at any other time this year. That it happens the very same hour in which it is full is no coincidence: The configuration is what helps stretch out the Moon’s orbit in the first place.

Bottom line: Saturday night and again Sunday night, find a place with an unobstructed eastern horizon. Right around sunset, watch the Moon rise. It will look huge. The media, fed by sources that include our community observatory SLOOH, is calling this the MegaMoon.

As usual, there are caveats: On the one hand, yes, this is the year’s largest Full Moon.

Indeed, the Moon hasn’t come this close to us since March 2011. And yes, it will indeed look huge on Saturday night from 7:10 to 7:40 p.m., and this Sunday evening about an hour later. It’s worth a look. But remember, the big size is mostly due to the Moon

Between 8 and 8:30 p.m. Sunday evening, you will see a giganticlooking Full Moon low in the east

illusion. This weekend’s Full Moons will look less imposing in the middle of the night, when they’re high up.

A more dramatic consequence involves tides. The Moon’s tidal effect varies with the cube of its distance. This lunar close approach will thus significantly raise the tides everywhere. In addition to the fact that it coincides with the Full Moon, the syzygy or lineup of the Earth, Moon and Sun creates its own especially high spring tides. The combo of spring tides (meaning that it’s the New or Full Moon) plus this close perigee produces what are sometimes called proxigean tides. These are maximal tides. Now, all we’d need along the coast are onshore winds, as in a storm, and there’d be major coastal flooding. A storm would add further, since a one-inch drop in air pressure raises the seas one foot.

The exact moment of Full Moon is 2:09 p.m. Sunday afternoon. So the Moon will look almost equally full late Saturday night and early Sunday night. But tides usually max out one day after the peak lunar influence. The seas need a little time to catch up to what’s happening. So expect the highest tides on Monday.

If you’re at the beach, the highs will reach almost to the boardwalk in some places, while the lows will go way out and make clamdiggers very happy. In our region, at places like the Saugerties Lighthouse, the Hudson River tides will be dramatic. The path to the lighthouse will be underwater. It’s a dramatic connection between Earth and the heavens.

For all these reasons, we shouldn’t miss this weekend’s MegaMoon.

real estate

Our Manager, whom almost everyone calls “Uncle” Mitch (because he is contacted so often for advice), wrote a very funny list of “agentspeak” that jokes about the silly descriptions in real estate ads. We try not to do that in our ads. We try to be frank without embellishment or embroidery (although we do have fun with them), so the next time you’re talking to a Realtor and hear, “Yes, normally a clothesline in the backyard would severely impact the appearance and price of a home, but don’t worry, I’m calling it a solar powered wardrobe spa…” It won’t be from our agents, I promise!

This only hurts everyone in the long run.

YOUR COMPETITIVE EDGE!

With a Westwood Realtor on your team, you’ll have a distinct competitive edge in reaching your Real Estate goals. Our strategies, developed over 35 years, have made us a consistent industry leader in residential Real Estate. Savvy buyers and sellers look to Westwood as their expert source in a complex marketplace.

With an unparalleled commitment to service and integrity, you can trust your success to ours. IT WORKS!

TASTE OF NEW PALTZ

A Hudson Valley Festival of Food and Fun

5WPFC[ 5GRVGODGT ç CO RO Rain or shine. Under tents. Free parking. Ulster County Fairgrounds, New Paltz.

DEAR BUSINESSMAN/WOMAN- We at Hardscrabble Flea Market & Swap Meet would like to congratulate you on being picked from over 100 businesses in your field.

We believe we can help each other- We have a swap meet every Sunday, 8 a.m.-4 p.m. at Holy Cow Shopping Center, in addition to a flea market/garage sale. We find that when business people set up a table w/business cards & flyers or â&#x20AC;&#x153;show how to doâ&#x20AC;? projects it will definitely increase your business (and mine). Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great way to introduce your business to new/old customers. And, if you have leftover merchandise youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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.
