Offbeat singer-actress
stars Friday in Clayton
Piano contest
to celebrate
decade in Cape
NELLIE MCCAY CONCERT: Singer-writer-actress, known
C M Y K
for social conscience, featured in benefit for arts fund
CLAYTON — The Thousand Isalnds Performing Arts Fund at the Clayton Opera
House presents Nellie McKay at 7:30 p.m.
Friday.
Nellie McKay is not easy to categorize.
Her music has been described as tuneful
and clever as the best of the Great American
Songbook: part cabaret, part sparkly pop.
But beneath the charming melodic surface,
observers say, is a wit that cuts and a sharply
tuned social conscience. Her gift, they say, is
in mingling all kinds and all eras of pop music, twisting the dials, writing upbeat melodies with subversive undercurrents.
Her irst album was produced by Geoff
Emerick, who engineered the Beatles’ albums from “Revolver “through “Abbey
Road.” Ms. McKay signed on as co-producer and together they recorded 18 songs,
forming the double album “Get Away From
Me,” which was greeted with critical raves
and placement on many Top 10 lists.
In 2009 Ms. McCay released “Normal As
Blueberry Pie: A Tribute to Doris Day,” an
album of songs associated with Ms. Day (including a McKay original) hailed by the New
York Times as “among the killer overhauls
of American standards.” The album covers
the scope of Miss Day’s music from the big
bands through the McCarthy era. “Normal
As Blueberry Pie” was on a variety of Top 10
lists of 2009’s best albums, including the New
York Times and the Village Voice.
Ms. McKay has appeared on numerous
TV shows, and her music has been heard
on “Weeds,” “Grey’s Anatomy,” “NCIS,”
“Privileged,” “Nurse Jackie” and “Mad
Men.” She has won a Theatre World award
for her role as Polly in the Broadway production of “The Threepenny Opera,” has
acted and sung in the ilm “PS I Love You”
and wrote and performed the song score
for the Rob Reiner ilm “Rumor Has It.”
Her writing has appeared in The Onion,
Nellie McCay
Interview and The New York Times Book
Review, where she delivered an incisive, indepth review of a Doris Day biography.
Center seats to the Clayton concert are
$35; side seats are $30.

TIPAF’s fall events, call the box ofice at

THE LAST FIVE YEARS: Musical
SARANAC LAKE — A powerful and intimate musical, “The Last Five Years” is an
old story told in a new way. Two New Yorkers in their 20s fall in and out of love over
the course of ive years. The show’s unconventional structure consists of the woman
telling her story backwards while the man
tells his story chronologically.
Now ending nits run at Pendragon Theatre, 15 Brandy Brook Ave., “The Last Five
Years” won a Drama Desk Award for Best
Music and Best Lyrics. Critics have speculated that composer and lyricist Jason
Robert Brown is the next Sondheim. His
musical style draws on a number of musical genres, including pop, jazz, classical,
klezmer, Latin, rock, and folk.
Laura Jean Schwartau-Swanson directs
Mackenzie Barmen and Brandon Paterson in Pendragon’s production. Kimberly
Weems is the music director.
The production opened in June and
continues in repertory at 8 p.m. today and
Sept. 2.

OPENING RECEPTION FRIDAY: Paintings of Jacqueline Altman

ment comes into play: seeing through the
surface to what lies beneath.
The depth of the water affects the layers
of color and objects one sees below that
surface, a challenge to one trying to interpret that vision.
The diverse geology and the constantly
changing weather and atmosphere, all
mirrored by water in the landscape, are additional challenges.
The proportion of water to color is a variant the artist must decide upon constantly
as one works with watercolor paints.
Ms. Altman says she never tires of
watching that ever changing waterscape,
that play of light and color upon the water,
of trying to capture in watercolor some of
those diverse and leeting moments of water in a variety of environments.
The Adirondack Artists Guild is a cooperative retail art gallery representing
a diverse group of 14 artists residing and
working in the Tri-Lakes region of the Adirondack Park.

RUSSELL — This year is the bicentennial
of the War of 1812, and Russell is known
for having the only arsenal in St. Lawrence
County. Kyle and Sally Hartman, local history enthusiasts, have organized the Russell Arsenal Heritage Weekend scheduled
Sept. 21 through 23. Much of the planning
has involved Dana Denhoff, John Miller III,
George Cherepon, Robin Duncan and the
Forsyth’s Riles Inc., Ogdensburg.
The schedule of events is designed to
honor the community, including churches, schools, ire departments, libraries and
museums.
The Russell Arsenal was built on land
donated by Russell Attwater, a Massachusetts speculator and developer who
bought a 13,600-acre tract of undeveloped
land in south-central St. Lawrence County
in 1798. The town of Russell was established in 1807, with Mr. Attwater building
the irst mills.
He built a stone home in 1807 and was
the town’s irst supervisor. Under his supervision, a new road was constructed and
opened, called the Russell Turnpike. The
arsenal and the Russell Turnpike would
provide St. Lawrence County residents
with military supplies in the event of a foreign invasion along the international border marked by the St. Lawrence River.
The Russell Arsenal was a three-story
stone structure with large metal spikes
protruding from the outside walls. It was
erected safely inland from the river in this
community. Although several attacks on it
took place, none succeeded. Although the
arsenal burned down in 1945, the site remains near the old bus garage of the former
Knox Memorial School.
The weekend will feature 1812-era reenactments by Forsyth’s Riles Inc., modeled after the 1st Regiment of Riles, U.S.
Army. Between 1812 and 1813, the original
unit was stationed in Ogdensburgh, as the
city’s name was then spelled, under the
command of Capt. Benjamin Forsyth.
The mission was to protect the surrounding area from the British and to
keep watch for military movement on and
along the St. Lawrence River. Forsyth’s
Riles were involved in raids across the St.
Lawrence River, burning military stores
in British territory, capturing arms and
ammunition, rescuing some captured
Americans and taking Canadian hostages.
However, when the British and Canadians
retaliated, Forsyth and his rilemen re-
tired to Sackets Harbor.
Here is a schedule of Russell Arsenal
Heritage Weekend events:
n Friday, Sept. 21: Forsyth’s Riles will
set up camp at the Russell Attwater Farm,
3600 County Route 24, Russell. Informal
visits are welcome.
n Saturday, Sept. 22: Forsyth’s Riles
will establish their encampment, and
from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. the historical players will demonstrate early 19th-century
life including cooking, candle making,
tinsmithing, rope making, chair caning,
spinning and carding, sewing and care of
arms.
Visitors will be invited to the Russell
Attwater farm house from 1 to 3 p.m., when
the Swe-kat-si Chapter of the Daughters
of the American Revolution will host a tea
and open house. Historical displays will be
presented for viewing.
The afternoon will culminate in a 4:30to-6 p.m. “Dinner with the Troops” at the
Russell Fire Hall, sponsored by Russell Fire
and Rescue. Patrons will have a chance
to meet with the Forsyth’s Rilemen. Visitors are encouraged to bring cameras for a
photo op with the authentically dressed reentactors.
At 7 p.m., the Russell Opera House, at the
town hall, will present “An Evening of Local
History and Music of the 1812 Era in Russell.”
The program, directed by Robin Duncan, includes “historical vignettes explaining how Russell relates to the War of 1812
and the Plank Road to Ogdensburg.” There
will be period music, 19th-century fashions, a iring of the arms and an English social dance demonstration by the “Lord and
Lady of Dance.”
The mission of the Russell Opera House
is to “offer residents of and visitors to central St. Lawrence County the opportunity
to attend concerts and other performance
events that might otherwise be out of reach
because of the cost and/or travel dificulties; and to offer a performance venue to
local and regional artists.”
The evening performance will beneit
the Russell Opera House Restoration Fund.
At the performance there will be a 50-50
rafle and refreshments will be served at
the intermission.
A donation will serve as admission to the
Russell Opera House.

Watercolorist’s waterscapes
featured at Saranac Lake gallery
SARANAC LAKE — “Water+Color,” a
collection of paintings by Jacqueline Altman, will be the featured exhibit at the Adirondack Artists Guild, 52 Main St., from
Friday through Oct. 3.
There will be an opening reception from
5 to 7 p.m. Friday at the gallery. Everyone is
welcome.
“Water+Color” is a constant theme for
the artist, who said she is intrigued by the
theme in her art and in her daily life.
Watercolor, as a medium for the artist, is
activated by the addition of water in varying amounts to pigment/color, which contains gum arabic, to bind the two together.
In creating a work of art with this medium, the artist combines her vision of color
and light with that water.
Depending on the surface on which one
chooses to apply that mixture, from rough
to very smooth, the use of tools such as a
paring knife being pulled through stillwet paint creates a feeling of relections in
still water. A brush loaded with color lows
across the paper with the gesture of the artist’s hand. In this manner, various effects,
movements, rhythms and interpretations
may result. Just as the water moves, relecting the color and mood of the sky, the
land and the vegetation and perhaps human activity on it, so does the artist.

THE LAST FIVE YEARS: Musical
SARANAC LAKE — A powerful and intimate musical, “The Last Five Years” is an
old story told in a new way. Two New Yorkers in their 20s fall in and out of love over
the course of ive years. The show’s unconventional structure consists of the woman
telling her story backwards while the man
tells his story chronologically.
Now ending nits run at Pendragon Theatre, 15 Brandy Brook Ave., “The Last Five
Years” won a Drama Desk Award for Best
Music and Best Lyrics. Critics have speculated that composer and lyricist Jason
Robert Brown is the next Sondheim. His
musical style draws on a number of musical genres, including pop, jazz, classical,
klezmer, Latin, rock, and folk.
Laura Jean Schwartau-Swanson directs
Mackenzie Barmen and Brandon Paterson in Pendragon’s production. Kimberly
Weems is the music director.
The production opened in June and
continues in repertory at 8 p.m. today and
Sept. 2.

Offbeat singer-actress

Piano contest
to celebrate
decade in Cape
NELLIE MCCAY CONCERT: Singer-writer-actress, known
C M Y K
for social conscience, featured in benefit for arts fund
CLAYTON — The Thousand Isalnds Performing Arts Fund at the Clayton Opera
House presents Nellie McKay at 7:30 p.m.
Friday.
Nellie McKay is not easy to categorize.
Her music has been described as tuneful
and clever as the best of the Great American
Songbook: part cabaret, part sparkly pop.
But beneath the charming melodic surface,
observers say, is a wit that cuts and a sharply
tuned social conscience. Her gift, they say, is
in mingling all kinds and all eras of pop music, twisting the dials, writing upbeat melodies with subversive undercurrents.
Her irst album was produced by Geoff
Emerick, who engineered the Beatles’ albums from “Revolver “through “Abbey
Road.” Ms. McKay signed on as co-producer and together they recorded 18 songs,
forming the double album “Get Away From
Me,” which was greeted with critical raves
and placement on many Top 10 lists.
In 2009 Ms. McCay released “Normal As
Blueberry Pie: A Tribute to Doris Day,” an
album of songs associated with Ms. Day (including a McKay original) hailed by the New
York Times as “among the killer overhauls
of American standards.” The album covers
the scope of Miss Day’s music from the big
bands through the McCarthy era. “Normal
As Blueberry Pie” was on a variety of Top 10
lists of 2009’s best albums, including the New
York Times and the Village Voice.
Ms. McKay has appeared on numerous
TV shows, and her music has been heard
on “Weeds,” “Grey’s Anatomy,” “NCIS,”
“Privileged,” “Nurse Jackie” and “Mad
Men.” She has won a Theatre World award
for her role as Polly in the Broadway production of “The Threepenny Opera,” has
acted and sung in the ilm “PS I Love You”
and wrote and performed the song score
for the Rob Reiner ilm “Rumor Has It.”
Her writing has appeared in The Onion,
Nellie McCay
Interview and The New York Times Book
Review, where she delivered an incisive, indepth review of a Doris Day biography.
Center seats to the Clayton concert are
$35; side seats are $30.

TIPAF’s fall events, call the box ofice at
