BOOKS ASK A BUSY PERSON Art of Doing authors speak at Woodstock Library this Saturday

What we’re often not Dprivy to is the commitment and persistence that each success story in- volves: the years of practice, the hard climb to the top and the flat-out failures that lead to new ideas. In their new book, The Art of Doing: How Superachievers Do What They Do & How They Do It So Well, Camille Sweeney and Josh Gosfield present 36 brief profiles of accomplished people, giving us a glimpse into the mindset of achievement. The winners in this lineup are a diverse crowd, conquering the challenges of things like opening a restaurant and becoming an opera diva and mastering dog psychology – as did David Chang, Anna Netrebko and Cesar Millan. “We envisioned both the person and the question,” Gosfield said. “The idea for this book was like curat- ing the world’s most fabu- lous dinner party: Whom would you like to sit with “You associate the and speak to about their hard-charging leaders lives and the way they ac- complished their achieve- to be moving forward ment?” The authors wanted to and not listening to the find examples in all human opinions of others. endeavors: the arts, busi- often after an interview, we’d have our jaws hanging on the ground, just hearing the ness, science, entertain- We found just the opposite.” details of someone’s amazing feats or even a singular feat.

But it is on us to separate our babies from our bathwaters, to pick through the piles of art and artifice and find the stuff that was not “real” but rather “good.” You already know Tracy Bonham’s megahit “Mother, Mother,” but let’s honor it for a moment anyway, lest this masterful bit of multileveled songwriting gets filed alongside all the inferior, disingenuous and trend-glomming grungecraft of its period. DION OGUST | ALMANAC WEEKLY “Mother, Mother” is a one-sided daughter-to-mother phone call, an electronic Tracy Bonham update on the tradition of the epistolary song.

On No- vember 14, some of those real-life stories will be brought to life by actors in Hudson River Playback Theatre (HRPT)’s “Light a Candle: Stories from Amnesty International” production at the New Paltz Community Center. It’s an unusual partnership, given that HRPT’s specialty is on- the-spot improvised performances of stories told by audience members.

Well, it has struck a chord with throngs of theatergoers and has been on Broadway intermittently since the early ‘80s.

It has been close to a decade since the last time the Center for Performing Arts folk ensemble at Rhinebeck staged Little Shop of Horrors, and area actors were thrilled by the Friday November 8, 8pm - Bardavon prospect of a reprise when it was proposed by director Lisa Lynds. “Little Shop is great fun,” said the Center’s Kevin Archambault. “It’s one of those shows that never gets old. I actually did it back in college – before the Ice Age – and realized that it was just a superb, well-written, very tongue-in-cheek kind of tip-of-the-hat to classic B horror movies.” Little Shop has a topnotch cast, featuring Charlie Bonnin as Seymour and Kate Weston from New Paltz as Seymour’s love interest, Audrey: “She sings in a swing band, and she’s got an incredible set of pipes,” said Archambault.

VETERANS’ DAY EVENTS

onday, November 11 is Veterans’ Day. Thank you to all who have served over Mthe years. I hope you feel honored and appreciated all year ‘round, not just on November 11. I hope you feel supported, whether you’ve shared your memories and experiences with others, or they remain private. Hudson Valley veterans have made a difference throughout the world for generations. As President Eisenhower said during the dedication of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Memorial, “...it is well for us to pause, to acknowledge our debt to those who paid so large a share of freedom’s price. As we stand here in grateful remembrance of the veterans’ contributions, we renew our conviction of individual responsibility to live in ways that support the eternal truths upon which our Nation is founded, and from which flows all its strength and all its greatness.”

The truth is that comets, especially first-time visitors NATURENATURE to the inner solar system like this one, are notoriously unpredictable.

I’m leading a group of 88 people into the Atacama Desert of Chile, where I the heavens are deep blue by day and inky black by night. Adjoining this desert, we have hired an entire mountaintop observatory under these astounding skies, to see if we can be among the first to glimpse this already-famous comet. Here is my first report: You’ve heard the hype that Comet ISON will be the greatest comet of the century. Maybe you’ve also heard the anti-hype that the comet is totally fizzling out. The truth is that comets, especially first-time visitors to the inner solar system like this one, are notoriously unpredictable. We can always calculate where a comet will be, but not how bright it will become. Everything depends on how its ices and imbedded dust par- ticles react with the Sun as it approaches.

SHOW HARMONIOUS HOMECOMING Rhino House Band returns to Snug Harbor in New Paltz this Friday

hino House Band has had a rollercoaster of a year. In the 11 months since its inception at SUNY-New Paltz, the indie-rock band has shuffled R through six bassists, recorded, performed scores of shows and graduated. Now based in Brooklyn, the group is embarking on its first intercity tour: a trek that will take them back to their New Paltz roots at Snug Harbor this Friday. “Snug’s is where we want to stop on our first tour. It’s our home away from home,” said singer/guitarist Ricky Demetro. On November 8, starting at 10:30 p.m., Rhino House Band will play alongside Upstate Rubdown and Bethlehem Steel at the bustling Main Street bar. Last May, the band performed alongside Godchilla in what Snug’s manager Ed Daley describes as the biggest concert of the year. “That show was tremendous,” Daley said. “It was a changing of the guard. Godchilla had been the big band here, and after they moved on to other places, Rhino House Band filled the void for upbeat dance music.” Demetro and drummer Steven Bartashev met in 2006 at an audition for an experi- mental punk band. The pair hit it off, and spent their high school years collaborating

in several bands. Though the duo dreamed of fame, Demetro’s nerves often stood MARIA PIANELLI in the way. “Steven and I talked about becoming rock stars since we were 15, but Rhino House Band I was too scared to step up to the plate,” he said. “I was afraid of failure, afraid of criticism.

We’ve “Steven got fed up with my terrible work ethic and texted me saying, ‘You are never also got a music video in the works.” going to be famous,” Demetro recalled. Though initially dissuaded, Demetro shoved As for Demetro’s confidence, it’s now boundless. “[On New Year’s Eve] I set a goal his doubts aside and decided to take the plunge. “From that moment on, I set out for myself: 100 performances in the year 2013,” he said. “I just reached 108.” to prove him wrong,” he said.

Print is dead, right? Wrong. Studies show readers retain more of what they read in print because it’s easier to focus. Fewer distrac- tions. The web is great for breaking news bytes, but our in-depth stories are best consumed in print. We only write local stories, so every issue is bound to contain something you didn’t know about your community. You lose that sense of discovery on the web, where you’re less likely to happen on something you weren’t looking for. And while our website is too primitive for such things, many sites collect browsing data for advertising. Our ads would never be so presumptious. We print on recycled paper when pos- sible, so it’s sustainable—and accessible to those without the In- ternet or iPads; not to be overlooked in a Democracy.
