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. For tickets or for information about TIPAF’s fall events, call the box ofice at 686-2200 or visit claytonoperahouse.org.

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 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.

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.

Wednesday, August 29, 2012 11 Russell to celebrate Heritage Weekend 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 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.

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.

Wednesday, August 29, 2012 11 Russell to celebrate Heritage Weekend 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.

Wednesday, August 29, 2012 5 4 Wednesday, August 29, 2012 WW ATERTOWN ATERTOWN DD AILY AILY TIMES TIMESnnSSUNDAY UMMER WFEEKLY UN 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. For tickets or for information about TIPAF’s fall events, call the box ofice at 686-2200 or visit claytonoperahouse.org.
