NIGHT SKY

The long, hot summer Instead of looking at the relative humidity, pay attention to dewpoint

I

t has been like Brazil. We’ve endured a very humid few weeks in late June and now early July, with welcome relief lasting only briefly.

Meteorologists express humidity with the word dewpoint. Air with a 65-to-75degree dewpoint is very humid. If the dewpoint is around 60 degrees, it’s slightly humid. A dewpoint in the 50s feels dry and comfortable.

During late June, the dewpoint was stuck above 70 degrees, which is what they routinely experience in the Carolinas and the Gulf Coast. One quick indicator of extreme humidity is when your windows fog up on the outside. This only happens when the dewpoint is higher than your air-conditioned room’s temperature, so the cool glass chills the air hitting it to where it can no longer hold its moisture as vapor.

Likewise, humid air chilled to its dewpoint is what makes toilet bowls and pipes sweat – which they’re been lately doing like crazy. It also guarantees that early-morning lawns are wet with dew.

But most people mistakenly judge air dampness by the “relative humidity” percentage.

Why is this misleading? Glad you asked. A humid morning may be misty because the air’s cool dawn temperature hovers near the point where it can’t hold its moisture. Thus, the relative humidity at 7 a.m. may be 99 percent. As the day warms and we reach an afternoon reading of 88 degrees, the radio announcer says that the humidity is now 35 percent. Does this mean that the air has dried out? Not at all. But since warm air can hold far more water, it simply means that at 88 degrees the air is now holding only 35 percent as much moisture as it can absorb. But back at 7 a.m., the chilly dawn air was holding virtually all the water it could, which is why it was starting to condense into liquid droplets as mist, fog and dew.

The change from 99 percent to 35 percent relative humidity during the course of just a few hours make many think the air has become drier. It has not. It’s still the same air mass. It still feels just as sticky. Thus, instead of trusting the relative humidity, pay attention to dewpoint. You won’t go wrong if you remember that dewpoints in the 40s and 50s mean dry air, low 60s mean medium-dry air, high 60s and 70s indicate steamy conditions. During weather programs, listen for the dewpoint.

Humid air contains countless tiny droplets that whiten the atmosphere. Thus, on humid days, the sky near the horizon is white and not blue at all. Even the overhead sky is light blue, not cobalt.

Dewpoints in the 40s and 50s mean dry air, low 60s mean mediumdry air, high 60s and 70s indicate steamy conditions.

DION OGUST | ALMANAC WEEKLY

Humid air contains countless tiny droplets that whiten the atmosphere. Thus, on humid days, the sky near the horizon is white and not blue at all. Even the overhead sky is light blue, not cobalt.

At night, such conditions manifest as a sky limited in star-count. This isn’t a good time to look for faint galaxies or the Milky Way. But one very excellent benefit unfolds for backyard astronomers: On a humid night, the air loses its heat very slowly. Air can never cool below its dewpoint, which limits how much the nightly low can plummet. The resulting air temperature homogeneity allows light from the universe to arrive without being refracted (bent) one way and then another by varying air densities (colder air is denser). Incoming light thus takes a straighter path.

Result: Stars don’t twinkle on humid nights. And telescopically, fine detail emerges when observing planets. Images are rock-steady. Point a telescope at the Moon, or Saturn (the medium-bright star one-third of the way up the sky in the southeast the first couple of hours after nightfall), and you’ll be treated to exquisite views of rare quality. This is the happy-face side of summer moisture.

ouring in support of his ambitious new genre-defying release Rearview Town, multi-platinum country music hitmaker Jason Aldean makes a stop at the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts on Friday, July 13. As is typical of modern country bills, this one is stacked top to bottom, featuring the talents of chart-topper Luke Combs and American Idol alumnus Lauren Alaina. Reserved tickets cost the oddly fractional $79.50 to $126.90. Lawn tickets will set you back – literally – $46.75. The gates open at 6 p.m. and the show starts at 7:30.

The Bethel Woods Center for the Arts is located at 200 Hurd Road in Bethel.

23Arts music fest gets underway this weekend in Tannersville Rather quietly, the 23Arts Initiative has been serving up some of the region’s most challenging and thoughtful musical programming under the shadow of Hunter Mountain.

While jam rock, modern country and nationalistic celebrations of culture may dominate the slopes of Hunter, 23Arts tends to favor serious modern jazz, classical music, experimental rock and an inclusive assortment of hybrid and progressive styles, all of it sharing a certain fundamental quality of seriousness and rigor.

When Tannersville-based 23Arts commences its ambitious four-weekend music festival in July, it will press into use no fewer than 16 venues, all in the Tannersville area. Some are 23Arts standbys – the Doctorow Center for the Arts, for example – while others are novel, surprising and, to borrow the term du jour, pop-up.

23Arts has broken the programming into four styles, one per weekend. Up first is jazz on the weekend of July 13 through 15. Highlights include a tribute to Horace Silver, “Another Side of Silver,” featuring Camille Thurman & the Darrell Green Trio, at the Mountain Top Library on Friday, July 13 at 8 p.m. On Saturday, July 14 at noon, the Brianna Thomas Band and Camille Thurman & the Darrell Green Trio perform at the Last Chance

ALMANAC WEEKLY

the thought of Steely Dan playing nice with any of their era peers and ever agreeing to period branding such as this. I suppose what made it go down smooth, other than nature’s greatest lubricant (money), is that the Dan’s billmate for the show-in-question is the Doobie Brothers, with whom Steely Dan shared at least on important member – the great guitarist and defense consultant Jeff “Skunk” Baxter – as well a portion of Michael McDonald.

There are two hitmaking Steely Dans: the almost-stable, almost-rock band that made their first few albums (with hits like “Reelin’ in the Years” and “My Old School”), and then the Hall of Fame of Sessions conglomerate that Donald and Walter summoned to make the highwatermark jazz/rock of their late-originalperiod records: The Royal Scam, Aja and Gaucho. These records remain, in commercial music programs the world over, rock’s pinnacle moment of musical sophistication.

And there are two hitmaking Doobie Brothers as well: the Hell’s Angels house band co-fronted by Johnston and Simmons (“China Grove,” “Black Water,” “Jesus Is Just All Right”) and then, postJohnston, the slick fusiony band that added Baxter and more famously Michael McDonald to record the most iconic yacht rock ever made: “Taking It to the Streets,” “What a Fool Believes” et cetera.

So, whom do we get? For the Dan, Walter Becker passed away recently, so it’s Donald and whomever. And you know they’ll all be good. But for the all-important Doobies lineup: We get both founding members, Johnston and Simmons. No Michael McDonald, but will you take Little Feat’s great keyboardist/vocalist Bill Payne instead? I know I will. No Skunk Baxter, but if you like Elvis Costello’s first record (“Allison,” “Red Shoes”), I know you will be quite pleased with the great Bay Area legend John McPhee.

Steely Dan and the Doobie Brothers team up at the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts on Saturday, July 14 at 7 p.m. Reserved ticket prices range from $67.50 to $208. A patch of lawn will set you back $40. For tickets and additional information, visit www.bethelwoodscenter. org. Bethel Woods is located at 200 Hurd Road in Bethel.

whose pop pinup career is now hanging by a single thumbtack, is currently killing it in the role, playing gorgeously, bottomlessly, with both reverence and mature personality. I retract all the mean things I said about him.

But who, who, I always ask, is on bass and what’s he doing? Phil Lesh is the single most unconventional bass-player in the history of rock, and every Garcia solo was a Lesh solo too, if you hadn’t noticed. It is utterly impossible to simulate

www.maverickconcerts.org Saturday, July 14

the sound of the Grateful Dead without an unmoored bass player exploring the upper registers of melody at all times and ignoring everything that comprises the role and duty of the bass instrument in every other band ever.

While the other three surviving original member pack the stadiums as Dead and Company (with Oteil Burbage providing a personalized Lesh homage every bit the equal of Mayer’s Jerry), Phil Lesh has taken a different route after the official retirement of the Grateful Dead a couple of years ago, and until next time. Lesh’s new project is a family affair: a band collaboration with his son Grahame and some other family friends. Phil Lesh & the Terrapin Family Band features, among others, roots/rock’s ultimate secret weapon: the freakishly talented multi-instrumentalist Jason Crosby, who elevates everything he touches.

The band takes the Dead songbook as its starting point. There’s a lot there, including the many fan-favorite songs that Phil wrote or co-wrote early in the band’s history, when he was far more involved as a writer and singer. From there, who knows where they go?

Phil Lesh & the Terrapin Family Band perform in the intimate and pristine environment of the Levon Helm Studios on Sunday, July 22 at 6 p.m., joined by Twiddle and by Grahame Lesh’s band Midnight North.

Kim Gordon’s Body/ Head plays BSP next Friday With her first consistent postSonic Youth project, Kim Gordon certainly did not make a beeline toward pop and the big payday. Body/ Head – her somewhat unsettling collaboration with guitarist Bob Nace – is, if anything, more abstract and less congenial than most anything Sonic Youth ever recorded. Body/Head performs and records as a drumless duo, foregrounding Nace’s noisy and nonidiomatic guitar and the gutsy, provocative vocal urgency that has always been Gordon’s calling card. The hidden charms – a fragment of shapely melody here, an irresistibly goofy guitar sound there – do make themselves known on occasion in Body/Head’s long-form compositions/improvisations; but mostly this is straight-up, serious New York guitar abuse in the Branca tradition, coupled with Gordon’s sonically occluded, viscerally propelled poetry. If you like it, you’re really gonna like it.

Body/Head performs at BSP’s backroom theater on Friday, July 20 at 7:30 p.m., a mere week after the release of their new Matador Records full-length The Switch. Another considerably more serene art duo opens: that of the popular Brooklyn guitarist Steve Gunn and drummer John Truscinski. Tickets to this 16+ show cost $20. Tickets are available locally (cash only) at Outdated and Rocket Number 9 in Kingston, Jack’s Rhythms in New Paltz, Darkside Records in Poughkeepsie, the Woodstock Music Shop and online at http://bspkingston. com.

PIANOSUMMER FACULTY GALA THIS SATURDAY, MARC-ANDRÉ HAMELIN CONCERT NEXT SATURDAY

T

he PianoSummer Festival – which runs at SUNY-New Paltz from July 10 to 27 – is full of events open to the public, ranging from master class performances to full-length recitals, but its main focus is on teaching the 25 students who come from all over the world to study on the New Paltz campus.

The Festival’s public events continue on Thursday, July 12 at 3 p.m., when the noted pianist Awadagin Pratt will present a master class. In these events, students play works in front of an audience for a teacher who then gives them suggestions on how to improve their performances. Even for non-musicians, these sessions can prove illuminating on what goes into a successful performance. On Friday, July 13, at 7 p.m., a group of PianoSummer students chosen by the faculty will collaborate on a full-length recital.

One of the Festival’s highlights is always the Faculty Gala, this year on Saturday, July 14 at 7 p.m. Five teachers at the Festival will give performances, including Paulina Dokovska, who will celebrate the French national holiday Bastille Day by playing music of Debussy.

Week 2 presents five public events: The Jacob Flier Piano Competition, contested among selected students, has two sessions, on July 16 and 18 at 3 p.m. Teachers at the Festival are the judges, along with a few ringers (including this writer). More of the best students play at a second Student Recital on Thursday, July 19 at 3 p.m.

On Friday the 20th, also at 3, Paul Harvey, Jr. presents a unique event: “Stagecraft: A Workshop.” Harvey, who produced his father’s famous radio show, had to give up his own career as a pianist because of hand problems. (He was a close friend of Van Cliburn.) Also a composer, Harvey wrote and produced several musicals.

On Saturday night, July 21, PianoSummer presents a major “catch”: Marc-André Hamelin, one of the best-known of all contemporary pianists. PianoSummer director Vladimir Feltsman, also a renowned pianist, says that he has been attempting to get Hamelin to the PianoSummer Festival for years. After building a huge reputation for playing virtuoso piano music too difficult for anyone else, Hamelin is now concentrating on mainstream repertoire; his recital will include Schumann’s Fantasie in C and Schubert’s Sonata in B Flat. Since Hamelin routinely sells out Carnegie Hall and other major venues, it would be a good idea if you purchased tickets in advance.

Week 3 begins with another master class, on July 24 at 3 p.m., this one by pianist Daria Rabotkina. A student of Feltsman, Rabotkina also attended PianoSummer, in 1998. In 2007 she won the Concert Artists’ Guild International Competition. She now teaches at Texas State University and is associate director of the Texas State International Piano Festival. Her latest CD will be released this year.

Student Recital No. 3 occurs on Thursday, July 26 at 7 p.m. The Festival concludes on Friday, July 27 with the Flier Competition Gala, three prizewinners from the 2017 Festival.

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

How plants beat the heat The following is adapted from my recent book, The Ever-Curious Gardener: Using a Little Natural Science for a Much Better Garden, available through the usual outlets as well as, signed, from me at www.leereich.com/books.

L

ast week, with a spell of dry weather, I wrote about irrigation; then it rained. As I write, we’re experiencing searingly hot weather; thank me for the cooler weather that will surely follow.

The heat is hard on us humans, but pity plants in the heat of a hot summer day. While I can jump into some cool water, sit in front of a fan or at least duck into the shade, my plants are tethered in place, no matter what the weather.

And don’t think plants enjoy extreme heat. High temperatures cause plants to dry out and consume stored energy faster than it can be replenished. Stress begins at about 86 degrees Fahrenheit, with leaves beginning to cook at about 105 degrees.

One recourse plants have in hot weather is to cool themselves by transpiring water.

This loss of water from leaves can cool a plant by about five degrees Fahrenheit. Over 90 percent of the water taken up by plants runs right through them, up into the air, exiting through little holes in the leaves called stomates. Carbon dioxide and oxygen, the gases plants need to carry on photosynthesis, also pass in and out through the stomates.

All goes well, provided there is enough water in the soil. If not, stomates close, transpiration and photosynthesis stop and the plant warms. Even if the soil is moist, stomates might close in midsummer around midday if leaves begin to jettison water faster than the roots can drink it in.

So plants are put in a bind. Should they open their pores so that photosynthesis can carry on to give them energy, but risk drying out? Or should they close up their pores to conserve water, but suffer a lack of energy?

Enter cacti and other succulents (all cacti are succulents – that is, plants with especially fleshy leaves or stems – but not all succulents are cacti). The fleshy stems and leaves of succulents can store water for long periods. After more than a year without a drop of water, my aloe plant’s leaves still look plump and happy.

Besides being able to store water in their stems and leaves, jade plants, aloes, cacti, purslane and other succulents have another special trick, crassulacean acid metabolism, for getting out of the photosynthesis-or-dehydration conundrum. They work the night shift, opening their pores only in darkness, when little water is lost, and latching onto carbon dioxide at night by incorporating it into malic acid, which is stored until the next day. Come daylight, the pores close up, conserving water, and malic acid comes apart to release carbon dioxide within the plant to be used, with sunlight, to make energy.

I’ve actually tasted the result of this trick in summer by nibbling a leaf of purslane – a common weed, sometimes cultivated – at night and then another one in the afternoon.

Malic acid makes the night-harvested purslane tarter than the one harvested in daylight.

After more than a year without a drop of water, my aloe plant’s leaves still look plump and happy.

Another group of plants, called C4 plants, function efficiently at temperatures that have most other plants gasping for air and water. C4 plants capture carbon dioxide in malate, the ionic form of malic acid, which is a four-carbon molecule, rather than the three-carbon molecule by which most plants (which are “C3”) latch onto carbon. The enzyme that drives the C4 reaction is so efficient that C4 plants don’t have to keep their stomates open as much as do C3 plants. The C4

Should plants open their pores so that photosynthesis can carry on to give them energy, but risk drying out in the hot sun? Or should they close up their pores to conserve water, but suffer a lack of energy?

pathway also does its best work at temperatures that would eventually kill a C3 plant, and cells involved in the various steps are partitioned within the leaf for greatest efficiency.

C4 plants are indigenous to parched climates, but not uncommon visitors in gardens everywhere. Corn is a C4 plant. (Cool-climate grains such as wheat, rye, and oats are C3 plants.) Looking at my lawn, I see another C4 plant: Hot, dry weather in August drives Kentucky bluegrass, a C3 grass, into dormancy. Not so for crabgrass, a C4 plant, which remains happily green.

I also find some other C4 plants, in addition to corn, in my garden. As many vegetables and flowers flag, all of a sudden lambs’ quarters and pigweed – both C4 weeds (or vegetables, for those who like to eat them) – appear as lush as spinach in spring.

Can we gardeners do anything to help out our plants in hot weather? Keeping the garden watered helps. Sprinkling or misting plants could keep them cool without their having to pull water up from the soil.

But the 30 gallons of water that run up through a tomato plant in a season, or the 50 gallons that flow through a corn plant, are for more than just cooling these plants.

The water also carries nutrients from the soil into the plant. So it’s debatable how well a plant would grow with too much misting. And besides, wet plants are predisposed to disease.

A better alternative to sprinkling plants is to grow plants adapted to the climate and the season. Lettuce, spinach, peas and radishes are not the plants to grow for harvest in August – at least not in full sunlight. That’s why, in midsummer, I grow lettuce in the shade beneath trellised cucumbers.

Tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, melons and squashes, although they are neither cacti nor C4 plants, can take the heat. And, of course, so can C4 plants like corn, purslane and vegetable amaranth.

Interested in growing your own blueberries? It’s easy, if you meet their basic needs – all of which, including varieties, harvest and other pressing questions about growing blueberries, will be covered at my upcoming Blueberry Growing Workshop. The workshop will take place on my New Paltz farmden on July 22 from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m., at a cost of $48. Registration is a must.

– Anaïs Nin

Water fun for everyone Here are two fresh ways to cool off with your family this summer! Here’s to good times and tan lines: • The River Pool is open for the season! Sit and relax right in the Hudson River with the kids (or on your own) in this special circle, and take in the scenic views. A lifeguard is always on staff, and the playground is right nearby!

Small blessing Michael Douglas makes Ant-Man and the Wasp worth a watch

A

t times when the wider world seems to be coming apart in ways beyond anyone’s capacity for helping to mend it, one must occasionally seek balm for the fried psyche in small diversions. The latest installment in the Marvel Comics Universe film mega-franchise, Ant-Man and the Wasp, fills that bill nicely in the moment, but doesn’t satisfy for long. As with its 2015 predecessor – also helmed

by Peyton Reed – I’ve already forgotten most of it, within a matter of days. Even the size-morphing special effects aren’t

nearly as much fun or as imaginative; the extra dollars spent to see it in 3-D seemed unwarranted this time around.

The warning signs of an inferior sequelin-progress came early: Paul Rudd’s dialogue, as the petty criminal/wannabe good dad/accidental superhero, started off the first reel so stiff and clunky that I feared that the entire movie would prove an ordeal. He sounds like he’s literally reading panels from a comic book out loud. Where did the low-key charm go that made the first Ant-Man so palatable? Down the drain of an inferior script, apparently, written by the committee of Chris McKenna, Erik Sommers, Andrew Barrer, Gabriel Ferrari and Rudd himself, without benefit of the

original Edgar Wright screenplay that was adapted for the first film.

It gets somewhat better after that bumpy start, but it’s not quite so breezily funny as the first movie at any point. Minor characters still provide most of the laughs, but even they are either restrained from improvising – a notable loss in the case of the elfin Michael Peña, returning as Scott Lang’s former cellmate, now business partner Luís – or underdeveloped, such as Walton Goggins as the slimy black-marketeer Burch. Bobby Cannavale’s talents are thrown away; his character Paxton, a recurring roadblock to Ant-Man’s efforts in the first movie, is barely a cipher in this one.

This state of affairs is doubly unfortunate insofar as the simultaneous presence of various teams of tertiary characters with competing agendas constitutes the backbone, screentimewise, of the conflict in Ant-Man and the Wasp. There’s no real

408 Main Street, Rosendale • rosendaletheatre.org

Big Bad here – only a lot of small nuisances and delays, like ants at a picnic, while the obligatory countdown clock is running.

Lang, Ant-mentor Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) and Pym’s daughter Hope (Evangeline Lilly), now fully poweredup as Wasp, are all on the same side in this one.

The saving graces on the antagonist front are Hannah John-Kamen as Ava Starr/Ghost and Laurence Fishburne as her protector, Bill Foster, an estranged former business partner of Pym’s.

The relatively unknown actress JohnKamen does a creditable job in a “grey character” role that depends heavily on CGI effects. Due to a technological accident, Ava/Ghost suffers from a sort of molecular instability that allows her to walk through solid objects but is slowly killing her. She seeks a cure in the “quantum energy” of the microverse where Pym’s wife/Hope’s mother Janet (Michelle Pfeiffer) has been trapped for 30 years. This puts Ava and her father-figure at odds with the Ant/Wasp squad’s mission to bring Janet (the original Wasp) back intact.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a rather arbitrary conundrum, with an obvious resolution and an equally obvious dual function as an origin story for yet another Marvel superhero. But this tempest-in-a-subatomic-teapot supplies some toothsome moments in which Fishburneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gravitas and Douglasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; get to rub up against one another. Even in a comic-book movie, it can be a relief to have some grownups in the room now and then.

In retrospect, if thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s any symbolic heft to this movie, it lies in the fact that Douglas gets to play Orpheus to Pfeifferâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eurydice.

His formidable cinematic experience does not go to waste, even in such a lightweight vehicle. But heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite capable of being funny as well.

Acting laurels are also due Abby Ryder Fortson, returning as Cassie Lang, Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s precocious little daughter and his primary motivation for trying to get his screwedup life back on track. The two have great onscreen chemistry, and Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ingenious efforts to keep Cassie entertained during his weekends with her while heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on house arrest are Dad-of-the-Year material.

fact, repairing damaged father/daughter relationships is the strongest running theme in Ant-Man and the Wasp, though one comes away with a sense that some of the Pym/Hope material mightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ended up on the cutting-room floor.

As a third installment in the Ant-Man franchise has been promised, there is reason to hope that the character of the Wasp will see some more complex development than a demonstration of her superpowers, building on the current grrrrl-power trend in the MCU. That is, once we find out exactly how the Quantum Universe is going to supply the key to bringing back all those superheroes who got killed off by Thanos in the last Avengers movieâ&#x20AC;Ś â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Frances Marion Platt

ALMANAC WEEKLY

July 12, 2018

ERICA'S CANCER JOURNEY

Incredible lightness of being “We’ve known for a long time that it was no longer possible to overturn this world, nor reshape it, nor head off its dangerous headlong rush. There’s been only one possible resistance: to not take it seriously.”

– Milan Kundera, The Festival of Insignificance

D

uring my meditation the other day, I suddenly began to feel flushed with lightness and joy. I immediately wanted to guard and keep this sensation. But it didn’t work that way; it just dissipated. Lightness gets my attention because I guess it shows me how heavily I tread. I am increasingly aware of moments of detachment – especially over the past year.

This lightness brings clarity to my thoughts and emotions.

When I recall Debbie Boone’s song “You Light up My Life,” I think to myself, “Sure, but also ‘I Light up My Life.’” Lightness feels so good that I decided to make a list of things that foster it. I wonder what lightens up your life? Here are some of mine.

I am not here to do it Right; I am here to do it Real.

1. Meditation. I take a while to settle down, and I get itchy every time I get started, but there’s nothing like the mental, emotional and physical weightlessness I experience during a sit.

2. New. Getting somewhere I’ve heard about for years, like seeing the Mona Lisa (smaller than I thought) or watching Incredibles 2 at the Four Brothers Drive-In (OMG Nutella shakes), scratches very big itches for me.

3. Relating. Witnessing someone share a similar story, whether past or present, grounds me: I am not alone. I am not broken.

4. Laughing. Schitt’s Creek; Linda Belcher; Tig Notaro; my husband; gasping for breath in tears of hilarity with Heather over lunch.

5. Cherries. They are ridiculously adorable, and every single time I eat a double stem, I think of Mary Engelbreit’s “Life Is Just a Chair of Bowlies.”

6. Puns. Also this joke: I wanted to tell you a joke about time travel. But you didn’t like it.

7. Preference. Requesting paper tape after my injections or blood draw really protects my skin from tearing from other adhesives. I don’t have to worry about bracing myself, worrying about the nurse’s feelings that I am rejecting her original bandage plan, because I am so confident with this replacement. Being seen and heard as authentic Erica expressing true choices.

8. Rose. I inhaled the most decadent scent from my very first beach-rose blossom.

I was ecstatic over the fact that it survived and flowered after two years of hope.

9. Story. Pulling together wonderings, happenings, feelings, processing and stirring this soup with a thoughtful listener instantly lightens me.

Erica with her godson in France

10. Release. Relaxing my grip on old ideas, righteous indignation or that last sip of mint chip milkshake enables me to cultivate mindfulness. I let go of energy that no longer serves me.

11. Gum. Tic Tac Gum. Especially Watermelon. How do you fit so much flavor in that tiny tic? (tac?)

12. Handwriting. Writing on paper with no lines is like flying.

13. Dance. Watching my goddaughter leap in a grand jeté or twirl in a pirouette fills me with the delight that I can, too! Without the hurty toes. Monica Bill Barnes. Mo. Even other choreography, like the Stockade FC soccer team in Kingston coordinating for a goal; my daughter’s tiniest stroke of pencil on paper; my son’s choice to give healing or cast a spell.

14. Enough. I feel a spiritual tune-up when I remember I Am Enough. I am not here to do it Right; I am here to do it Real.

SECTION 2. Legislative intent and purpose.

It is the policy of both the County of Ulster and the State of New York to achieve energy efficiency and renewable energy goals, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, mitigate the effect of global climate change, and advance a clean energy economy. The County of Ulster finds that it can fulfill this policy by providing property assessed clean energy financing to property owners for the installation of renewable energy systems and energy efficiency measures. This Local Law establishes a program that will allow the Energy Improvement Corporation (“EIC”), a local development corporation, acting on behalf of the County of Ulster pursuant to the municipal agreement to be entered into between the County of Ulster and the EIC pursuant to Article 5-G of the New York General Municipal Law (the “Municipal Agreement”), to make funds available to qualified property owners that will be repaid by such property owners through charges on the real properties benefited by such funds, thereby fulfilling the purposes of this section and fulfilling an important public purpose.

The County of Ulster is authorized to implement this Energize NY Benefit Financing Program pursuant to the Municipal Home Rule Law and Article 5-L of the New York General Municipal Law. This Local Law shall be known and may be cited as the “Energize NY Benefit Financing Program Law of the County of Ulster.”

SECTION 3. The definitions of “EIC” and “Renewable Energy System” in Section 3 of Local Law No. 6 of 2014 are hereby amended to read as follows: EIC The Energy Improvement Corporation, a local development corporation, duly organized under § 1411 of the Not-For-Profit Corporation Law, authorized hereby on behalf of the County to implement the Energize NY Benefit Financing Program by providing funds to qualified property owners (as defined in this chapter) and providing for repayment of such funds from monies collected by the County tax collecting officer as a charge to be levied on the real property and collected in the same manner and same form as the County taxes.

RENEWABLE ENERGY SYSTEM An energy generating system for the generation of electric or thermal energy, to be used primarily at such property, except when the Qualified Property Owner is a commercial entity in which case the system may be used for other properties in addition to the subject property, by means of solar thermal, solar photovoltaic, wind, geothermal, anaerobic digester gas-toelectricity systems, fuel cell technologies, or other renewable energy technology approved by the Authority, not including the combustion or pyrolysis of solid waste.

SECTION 4. Section 4 of Local Law No. 6 of 2014 is hereby amended to read as follows: SECTION 4. Establishment of an Energize NY Benefit Financing Program An Energize NY Benefit Financing Program is hereby established by the County, whereby EIC, acting on its behalf pursuant to the Municipal Agreement, may provide funds to qualified

property owners in accordance with the procedures set forth under this Local Law, to finance the acquisition, construction and installation of renewable energy systems and energy efficiency improvements and the verification of the installation of such systems and improvements.

For funds provided to a Qualified Property Owner which is a commercial entity, not-forprofit organization, or entity other than an individual, EIC shall have the authority to impose requirements on the maximum amount of funds to be provided, which may consider factors including but not limited to the property value, projected savings, project cost, and existing indebtedness secured by such property.

For financings made to a Qualified Property Owner who is an individual, the funds provided shall not exceed the lesser of: (i) 10% of the appraised value of the real property where the renewable energy systems and/or energy efficiency improvements will be located, or (ii) the actual cost of installing the renewable energy systems and/or energy efficiency improvements, including the costs of necessary equipment, materials, and labor and the cost of verification of such systems and improvements.

SECTION 5. Paragraph B of Section 5 of Local Law No. 6 of 2014 is hereby amended to read as follows: Every application submitted by a property owner shall be reviewed by EIC acting on behalf of the County, which shall make a positive or negative determination on such application based upon the criteria for making a financing enumerated in section 6 of this Local Law. EIC may also request further information from the property owner, where necessary, to aid in its determination.

SECTION 6. Section 6 of Local Law No. 6 of 2014 is hereby amended to read as follows: SECTION 6. Application criteria.

Upon the submission of an application, EIC, acting on behalf of the County, shall make a positive or negative determination on such application based upon the following criteria for the making of a financing: The proposed energy efficiency improvements and/or renewable energy systems are determined to be cost effective based on guidelines issued by the Authority; The property owner may not be in bankruptcy and the property may not constitute property subject to any pending bankruptcy proceeding.

The amount financed under the Energize NY Benefit Financing Program shall be repaid over a term not to exceed the weighted average of the useful life of Renewable Energy Systems and Energy Efficiency Improvements to be installed on the property as determined by EIC; Sufficient funds are available from EIC to provide financing to the property owner; The property owner is current in payments on any existing mortgage; The property owner is current in payments on any existing real property taxes and has been current on real property taxes for the previous three years; and Such additional criteria, not inconsistent with the criteria set forth above, as the County, or EIC acting on its behalf, may set from time

LEGAL NOTICE NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Local Law, published herewith has been adopted by the County Legislature of the County of Ulster, New York on May 15, 2018, approved by the County Executive on June 13, 2018, and filed with the State of New York on June 25, 2018, and the validity of the obligations authorized by such Local Law may be hereinafter contested only if such obligations were authorized for an object or purpose for which said County is not authorized to expend money, or if the provisions of law which should have been complied with as of the date of publication of this notice were not substantially complied with, and an action, suit or proceeding contesting such validity is commenced within twenty days after the date of publication of this notice, or such obligations were authorized in violations of the provisions of the Constitutions.

DATED: July 12, 2018 Kingston, New York Victoria A. Fabella, Clerk Ulster County Legislature Local Law Number 2 Of 2018 County Of Ulster A Local Law Amending Local Law 6 of 2014, To Improve And Strengthen The Sustainable Energy Loan Program BE IT ENACTED, by the County Legislature of the County of Ulster, New York, as follows: SECTION 1. LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS AND INTENT. The Ulster County Legislature hereby finds and determines that the County of Ulster enacted Local Law No. 6 of 2014 (codified as Chapter 190 of the Code of the County of Ulster), pursuant to provisions of New York General Municipal Law, to establish a Sustainable Energy Loan Program.

This program authorized the Energy Improvement Corporation (“EIC”), a local development corporation acting on behalf of the County of Ulster, to make funds available to qualified property owners for the installation of renewable energy systems and energy-efficiency measures.

The Ulster County Legislature further finds that the New York State Legislature recently amended certain provisions of the municipal sustainable energy loan program to “eliminate barriers that have been identified that have prevented the program from reaching its full potential.”

The Ulster County Legislature finds that the amendments to the program, enacted as Chapter 320 of the 2017 Laws of the State of New York, seek to encourage net metered and community solar projects, will allow the County of Ulster’s program to use monies available from the State or any State authority, and will permit a more flexible loan standard for commercial properties.

Therefore, the purpose of this law is to amend the County of Ulster’s Sustainable Energy Loan Program in conformity with changes recently enacted to the New York State enabling legislation.

SECTION 2. Section 2 of Local Law 6 of 2014 is hereby amended to read as follows:

Upon execution of the Energize NY Finance Agreement, the qualified property owner shall be eligible to receive funds from EIC, acting on behalf of the County, for the acquisition, construction, and installation of qualifying renewable energy systems and energy efficiency improvements, provided the requirements of section 8 of this Local Law have been met.

C. The Energize NY Finance Agreement shall include the terms and conditions of repayment set forth under section 9 of this Local Law. SECTION 8. Section 9 of Local Law No. 6 of 2014 is hereby amended to read as follows: SECTION 9. Terms and conditions repayment.

The Energize NY Finance Agreement between the qualified property owner and EIC, acting on behalf of the County, shall set forth the terms and conditions of repayment in accordance with the following: The principal amount of the funds paid to the qualified property owner hereunder, together with the interest thereon, shall be paid by the property owner as a charge on his or her real property tax bill and shall be levied and collected at the same time and in the same manner as County taxes, provided that such charge shall be separately listed on the tax bill. The County shall make payment to EIC or its designee in the amount of all such separately listed charges within 30 days of the date the payment is due to be made to the County.

The term of such repayment shall be determined at the time the Energize NY Finance agreement is executed by the property owner and EIC, provided that in no case shall the term exceed the weighted average of the useful life of the systems and improvements as determined

by EIC acting on behalf of the County.

The rate of interest for the charge shall be fixed by EIC acting on behalf of the County at the time the Energize NY Finance Agreement is executed by the property owner and EIC. The charge shall constitute a lien upon the real property benefited by the Energize NY Benefit Financing Program as set forth in Article 5-L of the General Municipal Law and shall run with the land. A transferee of title to the benefited real property shall be required to pay any future installments, including interest thereon.

SECTION 9. EFFECTIVE DATE. This Local Law shall take effect upon filing with the Secretary of State.

PRAYER TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN. (Never known to fail.) Oh, most beautiful flower of Mt. Carmel, fruitful vine splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son of God. Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity. Oh, Star of the Sea, help me and show me herein you are my mother. Oh, Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth! I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in this necessity. There are none that can withstand your power. Oh, show me herein you are my mother. Oh Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee (3x).

Holy Mother, I place this cause in your hands (3x). Holy Spirit, you who solve all problems, light all roads so that I can attain my goal. You who gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me and that in all instances in my life you are with me, I want in this short prayer to thank-you for all things as you confirm once again that I never want to be separated from you in eternal glory. Thank-you for your mercy towards me and mine. The person must say this prayer 3 consecutive days, the request will be granted. This prayer must be published after the favor is granted.

FOR ADOPTION- Handsome, Sweet 9-year old Gray Cat Boy, Quicksilver, has been through so much. He lost his lifelong cat friend/brother. He was put outside when a fragile baby came home and the doctor recommended no pets in the house. He’s been neutered, up-to-date w/shots and litter pan trained. He’s now in a house in Shandaken where the resident cat has attacked him. He’s not sure why such bad things are happening to such a good cat.

Quicksilver needs a new lap and a new person to love him. If you think that person could be you, please call (845)514-9694.

FOR ADOPTION: Danny Boy is a handsome Gray Cat Boy w/the softest fur ever!

He’s neutered, up to date w/shots and litter pan trained. The vet estimates Danny Boy’s age as under 2-years. And did I mention: Danny Boy is one of the sweetest, most trusting cats you could ever hope to meet? If you’re interested in meeting him at his foster home in Shokan, please email
