Our region is a crucible of comic creation “Komic Kreators of the Mid- Hudson Valley” opens on Friday in Poughkeepsie

s Quinn O’Callaghan has docu- Amented in depth in his Almanac Weekly story titled “Many comic book heroes have Hudson Valley roots,” our region is an epicenter for both superhe- roic and supervillainous activity. In the Marvel universe, X-Woman Jean Grey is the daughter of a Bard College profes- sor and Charles Xavier, a Bard alumnus, trains budding X-Men at his School for Gifted Youngsters in Salem Center in Westchester. Strong Guy and Scarecrow are Rhinebeck natives. And DC Comics’ Nightwing made Bannerman’s Castle on Pollepel Island a hideout for Talia al Ghul and her evil gang. These are only a few among many Hudson Valley shout-outs in the comic- book world, so it should not surprise anyone that our region is also a veritable crucible of comic creation. Probably best- known are New Yorker cartoonists Danny Shanahan, Liza Donnelly and Michael Maslin, who all reside in Rhinebeck. But there are lots of others who contribute concept, color and line to the panels of comic strips, periodicals and the booming genre of heavily illustrated books known as graphic novels. Half a dozen of them will be on hand this Friday evening, February 13, as Arts Mid-Hudson kicks off its new exhibition at the organization’s gallery in Poughkeepsie, titled “Komic Spiderman by comic artist Charles Barnett III, 2014 Kreators of the Mid-Hudson Valley.” The show features works by Donnelly; longtime inker of The Amazing Spider- each, $25 for a pair.

ALTHOUGH JUPITER ASCENDING BREAKS NEW GROUND (OR SKY) in terms of knockout visual effects, as a yarn MOVIEMOVIEMOVIE it doesn’t have an original bone in its body

among the cast is the ridiculous whispery performance by Eddie Redmayne as the effete intergalactic capitalist villain Balem Abrasax; if this were the actor’s only recent screen role, he certainly wouldn’t be taking home any Oscars anytime soon. Then there are the dinner-table scenes with Jupiter’s Russian immigrant family, thrown in for broad comic effect. The stereotypes promulgated here are as goofy and over-the-top as Cher’s Italian family in Moonstruck or Woody Allen’s Jewish family in any number of early Woody Allen movies. And from the perspective of a viewer spawned from a Balto-Slavic gene pool, they don’t nearly hit the gloomy, repressive mark of a real family whose ancestors evolved near the Arctic Circle. Jupiter’s clan is Russian like Sacha Baron Cohen is Kazakh. (The actual funniest scene involves a well-disguised Terry Gilliam as the Seal and Signet Minister – an elderly bureaucrat surrounded by elderly contraptions that will make Steampunkers drool with interior-decorating lust – in a cameo that pays homage to Gilliam’s own dystopian opus Brazil.) Mila Kunis (above and below) and Channing Tatum in Jupiter Ascending But that’s just one quibble among many about a film that is a veritable quibblefest. Jupiter Ascending is a hot mess no matter how you look at it. But looking at it is just too much fun to resist.

Secondly, That said, Jupiter Ascending bears little I’m here to tell you that this movie, while dissection as an excuse for storytelling. The every bit the silly hodgepodge of sci-fi dialogue is atrocious and the screenplay tropes that the other critics are saying, utterly lame and derivative. Indeed, though it’s also a heck of a lot of fun. it breaks new ground (or sky) in terms of Like John Carter before it, Jupiter knockout visual effects, as a yarn it doesn’t Ascending is one of those movies that have an original bone in its body – to a was meant to be the next Star Warsy point where it almost makes no sense to franchise, but was torpedoed long before bother carping that the theme of pan- it hit the theaters by industry scuttlebutt millennial genetic engineering was lifted the movie, when she uptalks in a Valley about production bloat and cost overruns from the Bene Gesserit of Frank Herbert’s Girl whine and generally acts like the Tonner Doll Company caused by overreliance on state-of-the-art Dune universe, its manifestation on sort of sullen slacker teenager who is the unveils Jupiter special effects.

t age 46, Galileo was no young kid in 1610. But events that year forever changed his life – and our take on the universe. They involved the colossal A planet Jupiter, which right now is at its closest and brightest of the next four years. This story actually started two years earlier, when a Dutch eyeglass-maker created the first telescope. When Galileo heard about it, he was one of the few who could duplicate the instrument sight unseen. Galileo soon demonstrated his instrument to a Venice merchants’ group, who flipped over its possibilities at spotting returning ships ahead of everyone else. Everyone wanted one. Then Galileo turned his telescope to the sky. Bam! The Moon – regarded since ancient Greek times as a smooth body with oceans – was now visibly pockmarked with mountains and craters. The Sun had spots – and rotated once a month! The Milky Way’s creamy glow burst into untold separate stars. Wonder upon wonder. He wrote, “I have observed the nature and material of the Milky Way.

Unbro- ken expanses of agricultural land also help preserve cherished viewsheds and the appealing rural character of our communities. So we all owe a debt to land preservation organizations like Scenic Hudson, which step in with tools like conservation easements and purchase of development rights to help hard-pressed farmers in our lovely Valley to go on doing what they do best. Now the group is organizing a Tuesday-evening series of five public presentations at the River Center at Long Dock Park in Beacon about various aspects of Scenic Hudson’s Foodshed Conservation Plan. The two February talks focus on beer and bees, with subsequent topics including ways to regenerate soil and to get kids excited about gardening. This Tuesday, February 17 from 6 to 7 p.m., in “Local Beer and the Hudson Valley Foodshed,” Scenic Hudson’s Steve Rosenberg will shares details of how the organization is helping to conserve the region’s farms to boost supplies of Valley- grown food and farm products to meet rising demand here and in New York City, while also seeding the next generation of farmers. Then Emily Watson of Plan Bee Chef Robert Irvine Farm Brewery in Fishkill will explain why she relies exclusively on locally sourced SHOW ingredients to craft her beers. “Native Pollen Bees: The Unstung Heroes” will follow on Tuesday, February 24.

missed my deadline by four days, sowing onion seeds on February 5 rather than the planned February 1. That date isn’t fixed in stone, but the important I thing is to plant onions early. Onions are photoperiod-sensitive: that is, they respond to day length (actually, night length, but researchers originally thought that the response was to light rather than darkness, so the phrase “day length-sensitive” stuck). Once days get long enough, sometime in June, leaf formation comes screeching to a halt and the plants put their LEE REICH | ALMANAC WEEKLY energies into making bulbs. The more leaves before that begins, the bigger the bulbs.
