dear readers, Where Local s we enter the transitional month of September, with Ingredients the attendant autumnal shift and back-to-school Greet dramatics, I’m feeling an undercurrent of cautious the World optimism, despite the gloomy economic events and a forecasts as of late. Most unusual. Reservations Suggested I’m not really sure how I came by this optimism stuff. I mean, how could Open for Dinner I, with so many friends out of a job? Thanks to the priorities of the larger Wednesday - Sunday corporations, who prefer satisfying shareholders with larger profits rather Sunday Brunch: 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. than re-investing in America’s work force, national unemployment is Rated 1/2 by The Pougkeepsie Journal still in the 10% range. It’s stunning how callous politicians and media are 1746 Rt. 9w, West Park NY 12493 toward the unemployed lately, calling them lazy and parasitical; showing (845) 384-6590 zero empathy or even basic Christianity, no “there, but for the grace of www.globalpalaterestaurant.com God, go I” at all. It’s cut ‘em off, make ‘em get whatever minimum wage 0000092949 jobs are available, take away their food stamps, free ride is over, pal. It’s for your own good, ya bum, this government money robs your initiative, y’know. Since 1976 I have personally never known somebody who enjoyed unemployment, or used it as some kind of scam to fleece the government, and thus the HINEBECK taxpayer. Chances are good you haven’t either. Yet, you’d think these R “deadbeats” populated entire states, the way the senators and AM jocks NTIQUES squawk. “We just can’t afford it,” is the prevailing meme, followed by A “they don’t deserve it.” AIR� Oh yeah? Well, here’s some things we REALLY can’t afford, but manage F to: how about two senseless, expensive wars that will never ever be won 1976 in any conventional sense, that will only bleed the U.S.? Or continuing the Bush tax cuts, when restructuring those taxes back to Clintonian Columbus Day Weekend levels, (remember the budget surplus then?) could help national fiscal years2010 Presented by Bill Walter Shows, Inc. stability. Or allowing energy corporations to exploit and ruin land and water (and labor for that matter) indiscriminately for their own profit. 34 I could go on, but really, helping the unemployed is totally fiscally doable, and it would be morally wrong not to, whether someone thinks OCT 9 & 10 they “deserve it” or not. Saturday 10-5 & Sunday 11-4 But I didn’t come here to rant. No, I was winding back to the inexplicable on facebook and online at optimism thing. And I think I know why I feel it: it’s the people here. I’ve come to the conclusion that the folks of the Hudson Valley are really and truly there for each other, in a whole lot of ways. RhinebeckAntiquesFair.com How do I know this? Well, some of you might know that in my parallel ENTIRELY INDOORS ON Roll life alongside Roll I’m a professional musician, playing with a host of THE DUTCHESS COUNTY FAIRGROUNDS different regional groups. This year in particular, one or more of those 6550 Springbrook Ave, Rhinebeck, NY 12572. Just off Route 9 groups have been called upon to donate music and time to worthy causes Admission $9 This ad admits two at $8 each frequently, often twice a month. And I can tell you that every time, many good people show up, funds are raised for needy organizations and Taconic Parkway: Red Hook Exit, 199 West to 308, West to Rt 9, North 1 mile causes.

FREE PARKING DELIVERY SERVICE FOOD COURT Though some benefits were for causes outside of the region (Haiti, The Rhinebeck Antiques Fair PO Box 838 Rhinebeck, NY 12572 845-876-1989 Gulf), most were for individual causes and the local service providers like Family of Woodstock and Queen’s Galley, which are staffed by incredibly giving people who really don’t care why you’re sick, hungry, and needing some assistance. They just give because it’s the right thing to do, and help make sure those who really need the help—be it food, shelter, job training, medical, what-have-you—can get it. These folks and this valley are the source of my precious optimism, which will no doubt be sorely tested by the screaming media in the run-up to the midterm elections. Think I’ll unplug the entire month of October. Ah, but the sun is bouncing off Bonticou today, our recent CSA vegetable haul was off the hook, with a crimson bounty of (un-blighted this year—yay!) tomatoes. There’s music wafting up from Rosendale— someone’s out at the park jamming. Really love it here, hope you do too. See you out and about! Chances are good it will be at a benefit somewhere. I’m the tall guy on the keyboards. With tomato stains on his shirt.
Cheers, Ross Rice, editor

8 | rollmagazine.com They’re known as furniture artists and makers. Their original, one-of-a-kind pieces are born of an innate sense of design, fueled by artistic expression. What we get is functional sculpture that, paradoxically, is unleashed creativity within intrinsic constraints of form. i l e m i Finding a place to show this sculptural furniture can be tricky. S Art galleries are uncomfortable with furniture as art and play it safe by showing painting and sculpture. Craft stores focus i c o l a s
N on smaller, quick sale items and commercial showrooms push cookie cutter furniture straight off the assembly line.
hree years ago, High Falls furniture artist Josh Finn found a perfect space to show his work at the High Meadow School in Stone Ridge. He invited a few Hudson Valley makers to join him, including Michael Puryear,T Rob Hare, and Anissa Kapsales, who, in turn, invited other artists to show their work. Today, the twelve member group is formally known as the Hudson Valley Furniture Makers, now gearing up for their third annual show in October.
Finn says local furniture makers are a unique breed whose solitary studio work motivates them to seek comraderie. “We’re all essentially a one-person business. Getting to know other makers, going to their shops and seeing their set up is a great thing for all of us. There’s a lot of good will and sharing of ideas.” u r y e a r
P The hottest topic in the group is marketing. How do you sell a $5000 coffee table to someone who doesn’t understand how the table is designed
i c h a e l or constructed? Someone who could easily buy a mass produced table M for a fraction of the cost? Kapsales, the sole woman in Hudson Valley Furniture Makers, says one-of-a-kind furniture demands a serious time commitment. “Some people think it takes just days to put something together but it could take two to three months, depending on the complexity of the piece. It has to be done in the right sequence.”
...wood is the predominant material, trees are examined and multi-linear textures of the grain are explored...
Because wood is the predominant material, trees are examined and multi-linear textures of the grain are explored along with dramatic imperfections, natural cracks and intense contrast of sap lines. Some Ki e r a n Ki n s e l l a pieces combine wood with glass, concrete, mirrors, metal, plastics
c o n t i n u e d o n p g 10... 9 | rollmagazine.com c o n t i n u e d f r o m p g 9... and found objects. Ultimately, it’s the material that informs the piece and inspires design. Before the touch of a tool, drawings are rendered and tweaked for shape and balance. Finally materials are cut, molded, sanded, ebonized and joined. The long process makes for a hard sell to a society which craves instant gratification.
“We’re always battling the concept of ready made,” says Puryear, who designs furniture and teaches woodworking at SUNY Purchase. “People have a problem with the idea of waiting for a piece which, in some ways, harkens back u n t e r to the traditional way furniture was acquired H before the industrial revolution.” n d r e w A Furniture makers are particularly allergic to cold, mass produced furniture, prepackaged and sold at big box stores— the ubiquitous pieces are the quick fix to furnishing homes on the fly. It doesn’t matter whose hands made it, if any.
“When we go into a store and buy something we lose the connection to the maker,” says Andrew Hunter, who creates furniture in
his Gardiner studio using Jo s h Fi n n Ni c o l a s Si m i l e traditional Japanese tools.
Ed Felton’s mission is to “figure out what the client wants.” He designed a coffee table for clients who had a specific table in mind. “I’m not interested in making a stock design that already exists, but I understood what my clients responded to and offered something they’d never seen, something they liked more than what they originally wanted.”
Teasing out a client’s preference means getting to know how they live, what they like—facts that inform the building process.
“They get a piece that fits them exactly, a piece they’ll hold on to for life,” explains Kieran Kinsella, who creates sculptural wood stools and side tables. “We want to make solid, heirloom pieces with good joinery.”
Ez r a Wa l t e r m a u r e r Durability and integrity are rooted mantras of Hudson Valley Furniture Makers members, whose work is made to last at least several generations—a practice that counters our disposable-based culture where the highways from production line to the garbage dump are too well traveled.
“People who own factory outlet furniture tell me it’s falling apart,” says Nicolas Simile, a furniture maker in Rosendale. “My pieces weigh three times more, don’t move and last forever.”
Besides durability, there’s something special about furniture imbued with energy from the artist’s hands, then passed to the hands of the user. This unique presence invites both visual and physical interaction.
“The owner creates a history with the piece, a history that’s more valuable than the original use of the piece,” offers Rob Hare who creates Ed Fe n t o n

furniture with wood and metal. “If I build a dining table, people live with it, eat on it. There are arguments, fabulous meals, and it gains an emotional value—it’s the central thing where all this occurred, a touchstone. It’s what’s wonderful about furniture.” John Cox, who has designed and built furniture with his wife Nico Accardi for over 20 years, says being part of the Hudson Valley Furniture As sculpture, the furniture weaves in the maker’s personal aesthetic. “I Makers is a networking plus. take standard forms and conventions, add twists and tweaks to nudge the piece into the realm of something different, something personal,” says “You get tips, learn who people are working for.

Johnny Poux’s background is On hand will be the furniture artists themselves, ready to divulge the production furniture, interior design and sculpture. “Some of the first intriguing story of their pieces. pieces of furniture I made were for myself,” he recalls. “The process is very satisfying.” “Anytime you can put a face with the work, it’s a great thing,” says Jeff Johnson, a furniture maker in Poughkeepsie who teaches wood design at SUNY New Paltz. “The way we approach making one of kind pieces is with a sculptor’s sensibility.”

Beresford—a two-time Academy Award nominee for his writing of the screenplay for Breaker Morant, and his direction of Tender Mercies—will This all happens over one weekend? receive the 2010 Honorary Maverick Award during a gala ceremony at BackStage Productions in Kingston. No, it all happens over about three weeks. She goes back to Manhattan after she finds out that the chap she met was her mother’s lover. According to Meira Blaustein, the festival’s co-founder and executive director, Beresford is receiving the honor because, “Throughout his Oh…what happens then? extensive body of work, Beresford has exhibited unique talent, drawing award-winning performances from his actors while subtly creating I’m not going to tell you! (Laughs.) stories filled with humanity, nuances and discontent. His ability to masterfully bring heart, soul, and social critique to all of his work How did you come across this particular screenplay? distinguishes him as a true maverick.” I’d come over from Australia to meet on another film, and that one got Beresford, who has made 27 films in about forty years, spoke with me by delayed. My agent said, “Before you go back home, there’s another phone from the home he’s renting in Accord about the movie, the award, screenplay I’d love for you to give a quick read.” And it was really quite and the area he’s been happy to call home for the past few months. good! At first they said they didn’t want to do it straight away, then called back and said, no, let’s do it immediately. So then I came to New York and here we are. How does it feel to be receiving this award from the Woodstock Film Festival? What makes Peace, Love and Misunderstanding a Bruce Beresford film? I guess I’m surprised. I’m sort of fascinated. And honored! I don’t know. I suppose because it’s a character-driven movie. And How did you come to filmPeace, Love and Misunderstanding here? there’s a lot of wit.

That’s right. That’s not how I like to work, but it’s an independent film, and the budget is pretty low. But I’m used to working like this, with low budgets. We did Driving Miss Daisy in 30 days. If you’re making independent films without big studio backing, you shoot them very quickly.
How many movies do you shoot in a year?
Oh, not even one. From the time you read the screenplay and start raising money, to when you’re finished with the editing and everything, it takes 15 to 18 months. I also do operas. After this, I’m going back to Australia Kwela to direct an opera. is for kids It seems you used a lot of locals in the film. (and grownups, too!) The locals are all great! Everyone is friendly and helpful. Different people let us borrow this and that. We brought up the major cast from New York and LA, but we’ve put some local people in small roles, too. A local actor, Terry McKenna, plays Jane Fonda’s boyfriend. There’s a film festival in the movie, and local actor Michael Burke is in that role. Part of the story is that Jane Fonda’s character is a painter. And Judy Zeichner has come along and given Jane lessons in painting. In fact, she’s donated paintings for us to use, and also created some specifically Grenadilla for what we were shooting. She’s been great. Brinton Baker, who is a potter in Accord, has done the same thing. The extras were all locals. We shot a demonstration scene in Woodstock, and we got this terrific local drumming group led by Fre Atlast . Actually, Fre has been in a couple of scenes. She’s great. By Peter Aaron You also shot some of the movie in Rosendale.
We shot at the Rosendale Street Festival. It was perfect for us because there was a music festival written in the script, and to set one up just for the movie would cost far more than the budget we had. I said, “Are there any music festivals already going on?” And there was the one in Rosendale. We also shot at the Rosendale Café. It’s one of the final scenes in the film.

Small wonder: Rebecca Martin (previously featured in Roll) has already had a successful music career with Once Blue, and has since continued an intriguing solo career while raising a young child with her husband, bassist Larry Grenadier. Now, as head of the Kingston Land Trust, she plans to raise awareness not only about local natural features, but also young musical talent. Anyone who has heard the Kingston High School Jazz Combo has been floored by the quality and attention to detail they put into the charts, performing at Jazz at Lincoln Center as one of the finalists in the national Essentially Ellington competition, and at the annual NYSSMA conference in Rochester.

Mike Merenda and Ruthy Ungar), is a confident collection that brings the energy and “Who’s Who” effectively evokes mid-period Dylan, warmth of their live shows into the recording studio, without losing any with Merenda’s song-and-dance man vocal delivery and Ungar’s slashing of the charm which makes the duo (and their band) so much fun. fiddle. “Summer Sun,” which closes out this set, is almost a whisper from Ungar, as though sung alone on a darkened road to keep from wondering Mike & Ruthy somehow manage to walk the fine line between celebration what might be buried in the shadows. and contemplation without ever coming off as uncomfortable or forced. The music on Million to One is sometimes so delicate and intimate, as on Million to One is largely acoustic, and probably also falls mostly under the the gently picked “As My Eyes Run Wild,” it’s as though you can feel the folk umbrella. But with so many textures beneath so many layers, Mike & Ruthy have covered a lot of ground here, all of it organically. And all of it satisfies.—crispin kott

Iggy and the Stooges Raw Power (Legacy Edition) (Columbia/Legacy Records) Gold (40th Anniversary Edition) DVD (Wild Eye Releasing/MVD Visual)
The Stooges’ induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year was a moment of long-overdue vindication—and a bittersweet one as well, since it followed the death of original guitarist Ron Asheton in January 2009. But after having toiled in their day to almost single- handedly create punk rock while receiving little in return save for jeers, hostile derision, and ambivalence from the world at large, the group is wholly entitled to have the last laugh. For during their 1969-74 apex the Stooges represent, arguably, the greatest rock ’n’ roll band that ever was. Granted, the Velvets are probably more influential and the Beatles, Stones, Hendrix, etc. had the hits and made music of more varied moods. But in terms of pure rock ’n’ roll, of actually making the kind of lawless, unhinged, id-baring clatter that was hinted at by the earlier blues and rockabilly pioneers? Forget about it. Elvis wiggled his hips and Jagger licked his lips, but, as Lester Bangs once noted, Iggy Pop and band took everything to the next level: They externalized the music. The real deal, no holding back. They wrote songs that were the ultimate in sexually charged jungle noise and played them in the only way such songs should be played—with steely, all-out abandon. They nailed the very core essence of rock ’n’ roll, and then they lived it with their confrontational performances. Since the Stooges were born, punk proper and everything else that has come after claiming to rock are mere attempts to recapture what they started. Some are more successful than others, but the original model remains the best.
As Roll goes to press,we rabidly await the appearance of the revamped life-affirming masterpiece that anyone with a beating heart should own. lineup of front man Iggy, drummer Scott Asheton (Ron’s brother), new The second Legacy disc consists of a fantastic 1973 Atlanta performance bassist Mike Watt (ex-Minutemen), and Stooges Mk.

Hudson Valley Sudbury School is a democratic school for students from kindergarten through high school. The campus is located on 60 beautiful, wooded acres between Kingston and Woodstock, NY. one of over 30 Sudbury schools worldwide, HVSS is based on a philosophy of education pioneered by the Sudbury Valley School in 1968. The Hudson Valley Sudbury School takes a radically different approach to education. Sudbury students, ages 5-19, create their own curriculum through self-directed activities. They ex- ercise their rights and responsibilities as members of an active democracy. Most importantly, they accomplish the difficult task of defining themselves. According to the Sudbury philosophy, success in life is determined by a person’s character more than a specific body of knowledge. The structure of the school supports the development of qualities such as confidence, independence, resourcefulness, persistence and responsibility. With these qualities a person can easily obtain the knowledge they need to succeed. open houSe September 25th 1pm-4pm

Nicholas has recently completed his Master’s degree and is back to playing frequently. And this may not be the last time they go for the full family monty.
