I chat with author Kate Messner about her latest book for kids, a colorful biography that may get your little ones excited about a career in science. We'll also explore an art exhibit from a trio of artists. One of them, painter Peter Hornbeck, sadly passed away before the exhibit opened. He is famous in the boating community as the creator of the Hornbeck Boat. The other two artists, photographers Tom Bessette and Daniel Way, offer their insight into the Adirondack Waters theme of the show, as well as thoughts on their friend's recent passing.<br /></span><p></p><p><span style="color: #04ff00;">This special episode of Mountain Lake Journal airs this Monday at 5:30 pm.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzHo3GV2H08Lq79FgeoBwLsKtqgjRlj6d3Ny_-9UeST9YROCsTyuuyzwL-fwAy_zaK7hy83c8XW1_ZqUeBXifUL-kwzMqIV1TWmGO6ZmwClUrYhaw4yGk8sWhJF79p0PcRapBr-tr0ZXs/s1080/Studio_still_3_sm.png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="638" data-original-width="1080" height="236" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzHo3GV2H08Lq79FgeoBwLsKtqgjRlj6d3Ny_-9UeST9YROCsTyuuyzwL-fwAy_zaK7hy83c8XW1_ZqUeBXifUL-kwzMqIV1TWmGO6ZmwClUrYhaw4yGk8sWhJF79p0PcRapBr-tr0ZXs/w400-h236/Studio_still_3_sm.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>Paul Larsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07695804283647913123noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1297188214513430171.post-10592756134366443652021-05-09T12:50:00.000-07:002021-05-09T12:50:02.991-07:00Mother's Day Read: Dive Deep into Mother Daughter Drama<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCPU8Dl4JymTwRdD1E32FUaQ2PlxAArHETEyqP09j_6VEZ-unJdOei7YQPqgVpS_kqfEHf3qbCVsQKhUWwzOJQuLNsiw9hhO0f7emhYpI_jI9vPjeanZqqsropTv6AwjYe4wzLUnIz9ho/s893/Ocean_Still_2.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="893" data-original-width="622" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCPU8Dl4JymTwRdD1E32FUaQ2PlxAArHETEyqP09j_6VEZ-unJdOei7YQPqgVpS_kqfEHf3qbCVsQKhUWwzOJQuLNsiw9hhO0f7emhYpI_jI9vPjeanZqqsropTv6AwjYe4wzLUnIz9ho/w222-h320/Ocean_Still_2.png" width="222" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p> </p><div dir="ltr">Just

The Wildlife Refuge
and Rehabilitation Center is expanding its care for the animals, and its
outreach to the public. Guest host Paul Larson will take us on a tour of
the Wilmington, New York center in on <em>Mountain Lake Journal.</em><br />
<br />
Viewers
will see many animals who serve as education ambassadors, and the
people who care for them.<br />
<br />
The episode also features poet Garret Keizer, discussing the year he recently spent as a high school English teacher in rural Vermont, a period documented in his book <i>Getting Schooled.</i> Keizer will also read from his book of poetry <i>The World Pushes Back. </i><br />

<span style="color: lime;">For
this feature report on the summer event, Paul Larson spoke with balloon
pilot Martin Unsworth, whose career was inspired by his father.
Balloonist Denis Unworth had received the award for "Canadian Champion"
from the Canadian Balloon Association three times, in 1995, 1997 and
2000. Martin says ballooning has taken him all over the world. He has
piloted balloons in North America, Europe, Africa and Australia.
Videographers Will Houle and Michael C. Hansen lend their talents to the
story, supplemented with footage shot by Unsworth's <span style="font-size: small;">own cameras
attached to his balloon.</span></span></div>

<br />
<span style="color: #b6d7a8;">Plattsburgh
native Dr. Jonathan Aceto returns home on occasion, where he can impress his
friends and former neighbors with the innovative sounds of his electric violin.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #b6d7a8;">He recently
performed at the invitation of Hill and Hollow Music. The piece may
shatter your ideas about how a violin performance should sound. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #b6d7a8;">Composer
Priscilla McLean who often collaborates with her husband Barton McLean, created
a pioneering piece for Aceto, because they all share a love for electronic
music, and an interest in the deserts of the Southwestern United States. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #b6d7a8;">To bring the desert to the cooler Adirondacks can be a challenge, so the musicians
employ animal sounds in sync with the electric violin, and visuals of shifting
sands to enhance a striking piece they call “Desert Voices.”</span><br />

It's the fourth story in my "Spotlight" series about “Promised
Land: an Adirondack Folk Opera.” Its creators say the plot has relevance across the
United States and perhaps even in other countries. While the work is
still in progress, composer Glenn McClure and artistic director Helen Demong have made sure to give key roles to
singers from the Adirondacks as well as to performers from elsewhere in New York State
and nearby states. </span></span></span></span></span></div>

Those who work on the farm use Kidding Day to share their story with the community while promoting high-quality farm products. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

<span class="cb-itemprop" itemprop="reviewBody">Mountain Lake PBS has a
friendly neighbor in Middlebury, Vermont, and what a joy it was to
welcome him to our special screening of the Mister Rogers documentary <em>Won’t You Be My Neighbor </em>this week.<em> </em>The Strand Center Theatre in Plattsburgh provided an elegant environment for the occasion. </span><br />
<span class="cb-itemprop" itemprop="reviewBody"></span><br /><span class="cb-itemprop" itemprop="reviewBody"><span class="cb-itemprop" itemprop="reviewBody"></span></span>
Dr. François Clemmons, known to Mister Rogers’ viewers as the singing police agent Officer Clemmons, performed on <em>Mister Rogers Neighborhood</em> over the course of twenty-five years. <br />
<br />
This
week he crossed Lake Champlain to share stories about Fred Rogers that
only he can tell. I invited the audience to ask him questions, and got
in a few myself.<br />

<span class="cb-itemprop" itemprop="reviewBody">After the superb movie
and the question and answer session came the moment that cast a spell on
the audience, hearing Dr. Clemmons sing, and not just <em>any</em> song.
Clemmons, who founded the renowned Harlem Spiritual Ensemble, first
performed a soulful hymn from the gospel tradition. He followed it up
with a special request I had made, “There Are Many Ways to Say I Love
You,” written by Fred Rogers. Clemmons had sung it the very last time
he appeared on camera with Mister Rogers, and a clip of it had appeared
in the documentary. It was the song Clemmons sung while his feet cooled
off in a wading pool next to those of Mister Rogers, in a scene that
not only spread a subtle message against racism, but one that also
contained Biblical overtones when Rogers dried Clemmons’ feet with the
same towel he’d been using. The audience at the event, not expecting
the song, gasped and applauded once they recognized the tune. </span><br /><span class="cb-itemprop" itemprop="reviewBody"><a data-ft="{"tn":"-U"}" data-lynx-mode="asynclazy" data-lynx-uri="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fyoutu.be%2F9sMyrcuDe_8%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR3QxTNA2tHY6H4LXmKlR5-bCX_A9-UkLP-I4hrWXDCH49AHIoxYwSMetJo&h=AT0-67-stSG-mDb274DYYTN8Wrhohy65ebUubeBZpXPchztvHP_PJb6Q88s_bu3Xr3517L-VoF7pU_c8MYKCnpQ_Dl6sYu4eFY9Zj8TfYWhw7tCDo4HqyVc-21xOcaBfeX193WDgkBMHAebA3ezZGwCEuwIShd_BKwlL0j4" href="https://youtu.be/9sMyrcuDe_8?fbclid=IwAR3QxTNA2tHY6H4LXmKlR5-bCX_A9-UkLP-I4hrWXDCH49AHIoxYwSMetJo" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/9sMyrcuDe_8</a></span><br />

I was enchanted
enough to tell the audience they’d witnessed a genuine “Officer Clemmons
magical moment,” one that took a scene from the movie we’d seen, and
brought it musically to life for everyone in the auditorium. <br />
<br />
I’d like to thank the audience members who joined us, bringing with them their love of <em>Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood</em>
and their enthusiasm to meet an accomplished cast member from the
show. Also, the Strand Center for the Arts deserves profound thanks
from Mountain Lake PBS, for partnering with us to help make this Indie
Lens Pop-Up special screening a super special event.<br />
<br />
The ever
gracious Clemmons called the afternoon program a “superior occasion,”
and said “I always tell folks when I travel what a fine job that little
station in upstate New York is doing. Truly, with your sensitivity and
professionalism, you set the standard!”<br />
<br />
<span class="cb-itemprop" itemprop="reviewBody">Special thanks to our national partners, Independent Lens, ITVS, PBS and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.</span><br />

<div>
<span style="color: lime;">Get reacquainted with one of your favorite musical neighbors from Middlebury, Vermont this week, by viewing our extended interview with François Clemmons, known to many as Officer Clemmons from <i>Mister Rogers' Neighborhood.</i></span></div>
<span style="color: lime;">
</span>
<span style="color: lime;">
</span></div>
<span style="color: lime;"></span><br />
<div>
<span style="color: lime;">Clemmons talks about his initial
resistance to wearing a police uniform on the children's program, his
close relationship with Fred Rogers, and his thoughts on the documentary
<i>Won't You Be My Neighbor? </i>The movie premieres on television this Saturday, February 9 at 8pm on Mountain Lake PBS and HBO.</span></div>
<span style="color: lime;">
</span><br />
<div>
<span style="color: lime;">"Spotlight" producer
Paul Larson says he likens the interview to a visit with an old
friend, as he'd previously interviewed Clemmons in 2004, when the singer
was still an artist in residence at Middlebury College. </span><br />

<span style="color: lime;"><span class="cb-itemprop" itemprop="reviewBody"></span></span><br />
Standing on a bona
fide Broadway stage gives me an excited feeling, even though I’m just a
visitor and not a cast member of the show. Sitting <em>below</em> a Broadway stage while the show is in progress can be an even more exhilarating experience.<br />
<br />
When Thom Hallock invited <em>Mountain Lake Journal </em>viewers this month to revisit <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=2&v=XmBWvOsho_g">the interview I conducted with opera singer Renée Fleming</a> in 2011, it reminded me of some more recent experiences I had involving the soprano superstar over the summer. <br />
<br />
She was performing in her first Broadway musical, the 2018 revival of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s <em>Carousel, </em>in the
role of Nettie Fowler, the kind and insightful aunt. Her vocals
sounded light as a spring breeze during “June is Bustin’ Out All Over,”
and profound and powerful during her solo, “You’ll Never Walk Alone.”<br />
<br />
<em>Carousel </em>happens
to be my mother’s favorite Broadway musical. For a birthday present, I
took her to the show. Afterwards, our good friend Kristina the
violinist, who has made a career out of playing in Broadway orchestras,
took us backstage and <em>on</em>stage. Stepping onto that beautiful
stage, I noticed something I hadn’t seen from my seat in the audience.
It had painted stars on it, thematic to the heavenly theme of the show.
Viewers in the balcony and anyone looking down at the stage might notice
the yellow stars, but no one in the auditorium looking up at the stage
would have seen them. <br />
<span class="cb-itemprop" itemprop="reviewBody"></span><br />
<br />
Standing on the stage of the Imperial
Theatre made me reflect on who else stood on that very spot,
entertaining a full house: theatre legend Mary Martin, Hollywood icon
Montgomery Clift, Hugh Jackman, Matthew Broderick, and Danny Kaye, to
name just a few. Classics such as <em>Oliver!,</em><em>Fiddler on the Roof</em> and <em>Dreamgirls</em> all made their Broadway debuts in the same historic venue.<br />
<br />
A
few weeks later, Kristina invited me to do something that had never
once occurred to me to do, sit in the orchestra pit among the musicians
during a performance. I excitedly accepted the invitation.<br />
I took
my seat right near her in the string section. It was a tiny space, and
a viola player and I humorously worked it out so that I would not sit
too close to her as to be hit by her bow. <br />
<br />
When the houselights went
down, the audience fell silent, and the orchestra surrounded me with the
first chord of the opening piece, <em>The Carousel Waltz, </em>I
immediately knew this experience would be even more incredible than
I’d imagined. Not only am I sitting in the middle of an orchestra, but
the musicians are playing some of the most magical, beautiful music ever
composed by theatre giants Richard Rogers and Oscar Hammerstein.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Seated against the
wall of the pit, not only did my eyes wander from musician to musician,
but if I looked up, I could also catch glimpses of brilliant stagecraft
if the performers came close to the edge of the stage, the twirl of a
dress, a flash of brilliant choreography, big smiles on the faces of
people who a realizing their dream of performing on the Broadway stage.
Then back my eyes would go to the musicians, whose captivating music
drowned out the singing and the dialogue above.<br />
<br />
One singer I did
strain to hear was Renée Fleming, whose “You’ll Never Walk Alone”
sounded amazing, even from the pit below the stage.<br />
<br />
Before that
enchanting number, however, I should have covered my ears. I saw the
conductor do it, and I ought to have followed his example. After his
hands went to his ears, a LOUD gunshot startled me. I’d remembered it
from having seen the show, but indeed it was louder from the orchestra
pit. I then noticed some of the musicians looking at me and smiling, as
though they had been waiting for my surprised reaction to that moment,
and I delivered one.<br />
<br />
Doing a show eight times a week can feel
repetitive for the musicians. They keep themselves entertained with
little games they play. At one point when the music swells, they
hilariously rise from their seats to the rhythm with the score. One
thing I did not expect, but I suppose I should have, is when musicians
have a long stretch without playing anything, on go the smartphones.
Texts are sent, the web gets surfed, and restaurant reservations get
booked, all while the show is in progress. Some read books. One
violinist even texted a fellow musician to fill his spot for the evening
performance, and succeeded in finding a sub, all during a few pauses in
the music throughout the matinee<br />
<span class="cb-itemprop" itemprop="reviewBody"></span><br />
<br />
For the second act, I moved
closer to the brass instruments and drums. The percussionist joked with
me a little during the show, as he and I are both fans of the TV
series <em>Hannibal.</em> He asked if I wanted to look through his <em>Hannibal</em> cookbook.
Normally I would, but I was having too much fun watching how all this
exquisite music was being made to care much about how Hannibal the
cannibal crafted his elaborately grotesque meals.<br />
<br />
At one point, I
had to stand up and step aside for two of the cast members who enter the
orchestra pit to climb up on the stage. One of them and I gave each
other a big smile. I am not sure whether he recognized me in the dim
lighting, but I’d had the pleasure of interviewing him a few years
earlier.<br />
Sitting in the pit, I got to observe things I would never
have known or even thought about as an audience member, such as the
fact that the man playing the accordion also plays the twinkling notes
on the celeste. At two moments in the show, closing the two acts, all
the lights went out in the auditorium and on stage. This includes the
orchestra pit. Suddenly, the music stand lights go off and we’re
sitting in pitch darkness for a few seconds. Again, this makes sense to
me now. If all the lights go off except in the pit, people in the
balcony would suddenly notice the lights on below the stage.<br />
<br />
At
the end of the musical, I could see the audience members in front rise
for a standing ovation. Seeing that kind of celebratory acknowledgement
from a new perspective moved me in a way I hadn’t expected. It was a
day full of wonderful surprise. I am so grateful to my gifted friend
Kristina for offering me a transcendent experience with this glorious
music.<br />

<span style="color: lime;">Even though I love going to the movies, I wasn't expecting 2018 to
become SUCH a wonderful year for experiencing films on the big screen.
In 2018, I saw many of my all-time favorite classic films on a large
screen, thanks to a growing trend for releasing films as two-day events,
such as the Fathom Events national screenings of "Rebel Without a
Cause," and film festivals in general, which allowed me to see many of
the Hammer Horror trea<span class="text_exposed_show">sures from the
1950s, '60s and '70s. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: lime;"><span class="text_exposed_show">Festivals also allowed me to view a Vincent Price
movie I'd been waiting for decades to see in a cinema, "Pit and the
Pendulum." Canadian special events brought back "The Wizard of Oz"
(retrofitted for 3D) and Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho." </span></span><br />

<br />
<span class="text_exposed_show"><span style="color: lime;">The new movies I
saw were amazing too! "Bohemian Rhapsody," "Mary Poppins Returns," and
the underrated "Welcome to Marwen" brought my movie-going year to a
satisfying close. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: lime;">This PBS national initiative asked Americans to vote for their favorite
books. I contributed footage to the nationally distributed tie-in
program "Authors and their Hometowns," which featured stories about real
locations and the books they inspired. I can get very excited about
any program that encourages reading and a love of books, and it was an
honor to be able to share portions of my interview with Dean Butler
(Almanzo Wilder from NBC's Little House on the Prairie) to this project.

<span style="color: lime;">North Carolina resident Fulton Fryar saw an Adirondack building he once
slept in, separated from his peers because of his race, displayed for
the first time as a museum exhibit this past summer. What an honor it
was to present Mr. Fryar, his family, and the museum itself with a
special video I made for the exhibit. Explore Fulton Fryar's story

<span style="color: lime;">I like to get close to the things I enjoy … and this year I got closer
than ever before to the book Frankenstein by Mary Wollstonecraft
Shelley, by looking at original pages from the manuscript in her
handwriting. The Morgan Library and Museum in New York City enhanced my
Halloween celebrations this year with the exhibition “It’s Alive!
Frankenstein at 200.” Works gathered from all over the world included
those manuscript pages, first editions of the book, paintings that
inspired the young writer, and rare movie posters. You may read more

author Kate Messner says she will change a novel based on early reader
feedback of her drafts, if she thinks it will improve a book. This
certainly happened after a New Orleans man told the children's book
writer that he wanted much more help
from her fictional time-traveling dog in the rescue efforts from
Hurricane Katrina, even though twelve years had passed since the natural
disaster.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="color: lime;">Messner, author of many
acclaimed books for kids, discusses her fictional golden retriever with
Spotlight producer Paul Larson. The dog has helped children facing such
disasters as the Titanic sinking and the 1906
earthquake in San Francisco. In addition to the "Ranger in Time" series
of historical fiction for kids, Messner also talks about "Breakout,"
inspired by the 2015 prison break at Dannemora. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: lime;">Fulton Fryar now has some new memories of his old “Closet,” after
having visited his former sleeping quarters for the first time in a
museum setting. The Adirondack Experience, the Museum on Blue Mountain
Lake, is the new home of Fryar’s Closet. It will serve to educate
visitors as a relic of racial segregation in the Adirondacks during the
1950s. In 1957 and 1958, the young Fryar’s beautiful operatic voice
landed him an invitation to sing and study at the prestigious Seagle
Music Colony in Schroon Lake, New York. As the first African-American
at the colony, however, he had to stay in separate sleeping quarters,
away from the dormitories where the other singers bunked, in an addition
to the laundry building built especially for him. At the time, the
teenage Fryar named his little sleeping room “the Closet.” After the
laundry building was condemned as dangerous last year, his building
addition moved to the Adirondack Experience.</span></div>

</span><span style="color: lime;">Fryar says he hopes people can ponder racial issues, both old and
current, by viewing his separate quarters up close. Helping tell the
story of Fulton Fryar’s Closet is a video produced by Mountain Lake PBS.
Producer Paul Larson introduced the video for its world premiere this
week at the Adirondack Experience. About 70 Seagle Music Colony
supporters and staff members, as well as administrators from the
Adirondack Experience saw the brief video. It aims to give museum
visitors context for Fryar’s Closet and features the former Seagle
Colony resident’s story in his own words.</span><br />

<span style="color: lime;"> <span class="cb-itemprop" itemprop="reviewBody">“It was such an honor to
present this video for the first time to the Seagle supporters visiting
the museum,” Larson said. “I was very moved by the emotional reactions I
saw from Fulton and his family, who were seated in the front row.”</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: lime;">Fryar and his wife
were visiting the Adirondacks from New Jersey, along with two of his
sons, his daughter, his grandson and his great-granddaughter. Events for
“Fulton’s Homecoming” included his second recent visit to Seagle Music
Colony, where he enjoyed a performance of the opera “The Great Gatsby,”
plus the tour of the Adirondack Experience, complete with the video
presentation. He also participated in a panel discussion as part of the
program “The African-American Experience in the Adirondacks,” presented
in collaboration with the Adirondack Diversity Initiative and Adirondack
Diversity Solutions.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: lime;">
</span><span style="color: lime;">The visit to the Adirondack Museum gave Fryar, his family, and the
Seagle supporters their first look at the Closet in the museum. The
little shack currently sits in the Life in the Adirondacks exhibition.</span><br />

<span style="color: lime;">This month, discover the secrets of Fulton Fryar's Closet. </span><br />
<span style="color: lime;"></span><span class="cb-itemprop" itemprop="reviewBody"></span><br />
<span style="color: lime;"><b>Mountain Lake Journal</b> presents
a <i>Spotlight Special: Fulton Fryar’s Closet. </i> Guest-hosted by
arts producer Paul Larson, this special tells a relatively unknown
story of racial inequality in 1950s Adirondack culture, and how memories
of it resurfaced recently when a building at Seagle Music Colony faced
demolition.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: lime;">
</span><span style="color: lime;">The building housed a young singer named Fulton Fryar. He was the
first African American singer to study at the colony in Schroon Lake,
New York. In 1957 his sleeping quarters were kept separate from those of
the other singers on the campus.</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="color: lime;">This special explores
the reasons for the unequal treatment, even in a northern state, and
the efforts to preserve Fryar’s sleeping quarters when the old building
was about to be destroyed. Viewers will learn what role architectural
experts, museum curators and concerned citizens are playing to make sure
Fulton Fryar’s story will now be better known instead of completely
forgotten.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: lime;">
</span><span style="color: lime;">For this program, Larson interviewed Artistic Director Darren Woods
of Seagle Music Colony, Executive Director David Kahn of the Adirondack
Experience, Executive Director Steven Engelhart of Adirondack
Architectural Heritage, and Fulton Fryar himself.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="cb-itemprop" itemprop="reviewBody"><span style="color: lime;">This special Mountain
Lake Journal airs tonight on Mountain Lake PBS at 7:00, Sunday, July 1 at 5am and 10am, and Thursday, July 5 at 1pm.</span></span><br />
