Lee Hoiby, a reclusive Catskills-loving composer who adapted one of Tennessee Williams’ plays into an opera, died yesterday, according to the Times Herald-Record: Lee Hoiby, a Sullivan County-based composer whose operas were performed everywhere from C… [...] Is it just us, or does this orchid bear a striking resemblence to the lead singer of an iconic British rock band? [...] Let’s share the wealth a little bit here. Once you’ve read through this issue of News That Matters, pass it on to someone you know who does not get the newsletter. Where else can they get such straight-forward, non-opinionated* information about the county where the country begins? About planning and zoning, open space preservation, political and social justice issues along with the off list entertainment and events that go on about this place? That’s right… only here. Get your neighbors involved – and keep them informed! [...] (Back to Beck again). His rally this weekend in Washington is intended to “Restore honor” to America. Here’s a word of advice: if you want to restore honor, feed a hungry person, teach a child to read, employ the unemployed, house the homeless and heal the sick and do so selflessly. That’s what we’ll be judged on, not how many flags we fly, speeches we make or countries we bomb. [...] Good Friday Morning, It’s been a busy week and I’m exhausted so today’s column will be short on information, bereft of it’s usual humor and pathos and generally concerned about nothing of importance whatsoever. If any of that will let you down I’m sorry, but after a pretty good fight with a conservative god-fearing congressional candidate last evening that caused me to lose my cool in public over what defines “the general welfare” I’m just plum wiped out. So if you need something humorous to help you wake up this morning see this instead: Action Alert: If you were planning on coming to court for Lori Kemp on Monday there will be no court for Lori, at least. This is an evolving story but suffice to say that if all goes well we’ll have a happy ending to this chapter in that epic struggle between a property owner and the political establishment in the Town of Carmel. Stay tuned! Heterosexual Update! Greg Ball had a girlfriend. We didn’t even know she existed until she held a press conference yesterday to slam Mary Beth Murphy’s latest salvo against him in their struggle for the hearts and minds of the Republican [...] My question about these things is always the same: why not put the effort into cleaning up the stormwater and septic problems that are causing all this vegetation to grow and solve the problem once and for all? Perhaps in the future, before DEC allows application of herbicides, they require that it be part of a larger program that will lead to that application being the final step in an overall process? Otherwise, we find ourselves repeating the same steps over and again and never really solving the problem at the base. [...] 7PM – The Truth about the Coming Climate Catastrophe and Our Last Chance to Save Humanity. Renowned climatologist Dr. James Hansen will be presenting his new book, Storms of My Grandchildren: The Truth about the Coming Climate Catastrophe and Our Last Chance to Save Humanity. Coined the father of climate science, Hansen is the director of NASA’s Goddard Institute of Space Studies. More than 30 years ago he created one of the first climate models, Model Zero, which he used to accurately predict warming scenarios in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. His Congressional testimonies propelled the issue of global climate change into the public and policy discourse. Learn more at www.caryinstitute.org. Events are free and open to the public. Location: Cary Institute’s auditorium, located at 2801 Sharon Turnpike (Rte. 44) in Millbrook, New York [...] Before we dive into the world around us this morning please do me a favor: Pass a copy of this newsletter on to people you know who do not receive it either by subscription or who do not read it on the website.
