Hudson Valley Hullabaloo returns to Kingston this weekend

T

he Hudson Valley Hullabaloo, whose seventh annual iteration comes to the Andy Murphy Midtown Neighborhood Center in Kingston this weekend, November 23 and 24 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., is touted as “a hip, festive shopping experience for the whole family…where arty meets party.” This holiday market puts as much emphasis on activities as on showcasing a curated collection of handmade food and spirits, jewelry, ceramics, woodworking, kids’ and baby goods, clothing and health and beauty products from some 75 creators and small businesses.

Attending the Hullabaloo is well worth the $2 price of admission (free for kids 12 and under) because you can get Will Lytle of Thorneater Comics to sketch a portrait of you for only a dollar. If you’ve seen his work – especially his evocative fairytale illustrations – you know what a bargain this is. Two very special photography experiences also await your arrival: Peter Demuth Photography will be setting up a holiday photobooth, complete with costumes and props that will delight your kids, and providing free web-res images. And for $60, you can have your portrait made in 19th-century collodion style in Tom DeLooza’s traveling wet-plate photo booth.

Deejay Mr. Chips, the host of “Dollar Bin Radio” on Thursday nights on Radio Kingston, will be on hand to spin the platters.

You’ll be able to eat, drink and be merry thanks to food offerings from locals like Much Mor Bread, Samosa Shack and the Wildfire Food Truck. And just think how much more relaxed your holiday season will feel, knowing that you’ve already found the perfect one-of-a-kind present for a whole lot of people on your Xmas list – and helped talented local artisans stay afloat in the process.

For more details about the Hudson Valley Hullabaloo, call (845) 750-8801 or visit http://hvhullabaloo.com and www. facebook.com/hvhullabaloo.

o you believe in the depths of your soul that “No human being is illegal”? Do you fill up with righteous indignation or tears of empathy every time you hear about an ICE raid? Does living in a Sanctuary Community make you swell with pride, but leave you wishing that there were more that you could do personally to prevent arbitrary deportations of our neighbors from other lands?

If this describes you, take heart: There’s an organization in our region with boots on the ground and pertinent training, intervening on behalf of targeted immigrants and refugees. It’s called the Ulster Immigration Defense Network (UIDN), a grassroots, all-volunteer coalition formed by concerned residents and local faith communities to provide a network of safety and support to immigrants regardless of status. Besides maintaining a rapid-response team for ICE actions, UIDN’s services include assisting immigrants with “know-yourrights” information; referrals to legal support and social services; community education and advocacy; safe spaces and sanctuary; clothing, household goods and emergency financial aid; and transportation and accompaniment for health care and school-related appointments, court appearances, ICE check-ins and other official meetings.

Maybe you can’t always be in the right place at the right time to put your body on the line between wannabe US citizens and the agents who are trying to spirit them away, but there’s something any of us with any disposable income can do to help: offer some financial support to help cover UIDN’s ongoing expenses. You can do so online at https://ulsterimmigrantdefensenetwork.org/get-involved/donate.

Or enjoy great live performances in the process, by attending “Because We All Belong,” an afternoon of music, dance and storytelling to be held this Saturday, November 23 from 4 to 5:30 p.m. at the Rosendale Theatre to benefit UIDN. The event will feature the dance and music troupe the Vanaver Caravan, singer/ activist Amy Fradon, singer/songwriter Tai Burnette, singer/songwriter/ guitarist John DeRosalia and storyteller/poet/playwright/musician David Gonzalez.

Tickets range in price from $20 to $30 and will be available at the box office at 3:30 p.m. on the day of the event by cash or check. Contributions to UIDN are tax-deductible when made by check through UIDN’s fiscal sponsor, Holy Cross/ Santa Cruz Episcopal Church, with UIDN in the memo.

Mik & Gilles return to Unison on Saturday For what is, by the artists’ somewhat dubious count, the 125th consecutive year, Unison Arts in New Paltz begrudgingly welcomes the abstract-depressionist duo of Mikhail Horowitz and Gilles Malkine on Saturday, November 23 – “assuming,” write the artists, “they can get time off for good behavior from Karma Triyana Dharmachakra Correctional Facility.” This duo of certified local treasures serves up a mix of literary lampoons, unseemly spoofs of American roots music and (ineffectual these days, alas) political satire. “And hey,” the artists beseech, “it would be nice to see some people under 60 in the audience this time!” General admission tickets cost $25, with discounts for seniors, students and members.

The Hudson Valley LGBTQ Center and Rough Draft, the combination bookstore and pub in Kingston, host a reading and conversation with L. Nichols, author of the graphic memoir Flocks, and cartoonist Summer Pierre on Sunday, November 24. Now a celebrated multidisciplinary artist, engineer and father of two, L. Nichols was born in small-town rural Louisiana, assigned female and raised by conservative Christians. Flocks is his memoir of that childhood, and of the expectations of his family, friends and community: the flocks of Flocks who shaped and reshaped him as a child.

Summer Pierre is a cartoonist and writer living in the Hudson Valley and author of the graphic memoir All the Sad Songs (nominated for a 2019 Eisner Award) and the autobiographical comic series Paper Pencil Life. Her comic review of The Letters of Sylvia Plath for NewYorker.com, “Sylvia Plath’s Last Plan,” was a finalist for 2019 Slate Studio Prize.

or a fan of a particular artform who’s analytical by nature and has an ear to the ground for trends, there’s a special frisson that happens when one suddenly becomes aware of a new genre or subgenre just as it’s coalescing. The one happening right now arguably got its jump-start a couple of years ago with Jordan Peele’s groundbreaking Get Out and continued with his more recent work Us; Boots Riley’s Sorry to Bother You took it another step forward. If the subgenre has a label yet, I haven’t encountered it, but the parameters are basically this: horror/thriller movies not made by white people, with a clear sociopolitical subtext.

Many with more exposure than I have to Asian cinema will argue that horror is a well-established genre in the Far East, dating back at least to Mizoguchi’s 1953

ghost story Ugetsu. Even if you don’t count the Japanese kaiju movies of the ’50s and ’60s, there was an explosion of horror flicks being made in Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong and elsewhere in the 1990s and 2000s.

Some of them caught on big-time with Gen Y audiences in the West; several were pallidly remade by Hollywood (The Ring, The Grudge, Shutter).

Although they put a refreshingly nonWestern cultural spin on familiar tropes, those films were meant simply to scare audiences – not to make statements. Serial killings in their plots were more likely to be motivated by revenge than by class rage or racism. In Western filmmaking, there’s a strong trend of using the horror genre as a vehicle for satirical commentary about American culture, with George Romero’s zombie movies setting the standard. What we haven’t seen much of, as yet, is a place where these two creative streams come together – and make a big impression on audiences the world over.

Now we have a movie in this invigorating new mold that’s breaking through all the barriers, geographical and financial and aesthetic: Parasite, written and directed

by Bong Joonho. Bong is a star in his native South Korea, but until now not a household name in the US. His 2006 monster movie The Host ranks high on many a list of Asian-made horror flicks, and Snowpiercer, his 2013 adaptation of a popular French dystopian graphic novel involving climate change, made some inroads in the West with its multiculti casting that including some big names.

Never mind all that; Bong’s name is on everyone’s lips this year. Parasite not only

won the Palme D’Or at Cannes, but it did so with a rare unanimous vote among the judges. And it’s being touted as a serious contender for Best Picture honors at Oscar time – not B e s t Fo r e i g n Film, mind you, but Best Picture overall. Not bad for a movie with subtitles, in a genre typically dismissed by the Academy as more cultish than artsy.

The buzz is extremely wellearned. Aside from how well it’s resonating with audiences wherever it’s shown, Parasite is the sort of movie that Alfred Hitchcock would be making if he were alive today, less British and more woke. It starts out as a satirical meditation on the gap between the haves and the have-nots in contemporary South Korea and, about halfway through the story, makes a shocking, gleefully calibrated

It’s being touted as a serious contender for Best Picture honors at Oscar time – not Best Foreign Film, mind you, but Best Picture overall.

viewed in future as a classic. If it has a notable weakness, it’s that none of the characters is sympathetic enough to engage our emotional investment. We may admire the rascally Kims’ wiliness, pity the poverty in which they’re mired, but they remain the primary agents of their ultimate fates, whatever unplanned detours lie in store. Nor are the Parks, benignly unconscious of their privileged status, characters with whom the average viewer is invited to empathize. Cinema Studies Masters’ theses will be written about which family best exemplifies the parasitic existence of the title. But there’s nobody here to love.

That’s okay. Class struggle is as worthy a topic for dissection, in any genre, as family strife or coming-of-age or romantic rivalry or any of the other classic setups for good storytelling. And it’s so inspiring to see filmmakers of color injecting jarring new perspectives into an industry that has grown stale with recycled concepts, while employing a level of cinematic craft as high as anything currently being produced on much more generous budgets. Parasite is a welcome breath of fresh air. It may even be the best movie of 2019.

A brine time at the Rosendale Pickle Festival

F

ounded by local garden center proprietor/town historian Bill Brooks, his wife Cathy and their friend Eri Yamaguchi, who missed the traditional tsukemono of her homeland, the Rosendale International Pickle Festival started out as a Japanese dinner party for 200. It soon turned into a celebration of all things pickled that attracted about 1,000 people the first year, and by now – its 22nd year – 5,000 or more annually. From the beginning, it has also been a fundraiser that benefits different community projects each year; admission costs $5.

A highlight of the Pickle Festival is always the county-fair-style competition for home-fermented concoctions, but it’s also a fun gathering for those more interested in tasting pickle products than in creating them. Some 100 vendors set up shop both inside the Rec Center and in and around the large tent outside to offer pickled foods of myriad descriptions (including the legendary deep-fried pickles-on-a-stick), other prepared foods, crafts and packaged gourmet products. Expect live music and dancing from many ethnic traditions – as diverse as there are types of pickled foods around the world – for most of the day. Late in the afternoon, the Pickle Triathlon gets underway with a Pickle-Eating Contest, a Pickle-Juice-Drinking Contest and a Pickle-Tossing Contest.

180-degree turn from garden-variety deception and exploitation into hairraising violence and terror.

Our “protagonists” are the clever-butuneducated Kim family, who live in a moldy basement apartment and scramble to make a meager living from a variety of odd jobs. When a friend who’s moving abroad gives their son Ki-woo (Choi Woo-shik) a tip that an upscale family, the Parks, need a new tutor for their teenage daughter Da-hye (Jung Ji-so), the opportunistic Kims lose no time in insinuating themselves into the wealthy household. One by one, without letting on that they’re related to one another, each contrives to replace a Park employee: Father Ki-taek (Song Kang-ho) becomes the new chauffeur to IT entrepreneur Park Dong-ik (Lee Sun-kyun), who praises Ki-taek’s ability to refrain from “crossing

the line,” classwise. Daughter Ki-jeong (Park So-dam) offers art therapy to the Parks’ hyperactive young son Da-song (Jung Hyun-joon), who, we learn from his ditsy mother Choi Yeon-gyo (Cho Yeojeong), was once traumatized by a vision of a ghost. And Kim mom Chung-sook (Jang Hye-jin) takes the place of Gook Moon-gwang (Lee Jung-eun), the Parks’ longtime housekeeper, who previously worked for the architect who designed and lived in their elegant modern home before they moved in.

If you’ve paid attention at all to Gothic suspense movies of the past (including some of Hitchcock’s, such as Rebecca), you know that housekeepers who come as part of the package with a house purchase invariably know dark secrets and bear close watching. The house doesn’t have to be festooned with creepy turrets and

Victorian gingerbread for that to hold true. When the Kims give Moon-gwang the boot, you know it’s not the last we’ll see of her. But how that plays out is a twist not to be spoiled here.

Parasite is bracingly original, genuinely thrilling and very artfully made. It takes its genre to a new level and will likely be

Colony presents Dustbowl Revival on Sunday

T

he popular California roots/soul band the Dustbowl Revival visits Colony in Woodstock on Sunday, November 24. Originally a kind of shambolic modern bluegrass and folk collective, the Dustbowl Revival’s latest material leans hard toward funk and soul – a kind of roots mashup that will strike some listeners are a somewhat scruffier and less conservatory-groomed version of Lake Street Dive, with whom they have toured.

Their live shows are legend. Tickets cost $18 in advance, $22 on the day of the show.

EXPLO∏E

The task at Temple Hill $17M expansion of National Purple Heart Hall of Honor now underway

M

any Hudson Valley residents are probably aware that, for about a year-and-a-half in the waning days of the Revolutionary War, up until the signing of the Treaty of Paris, George Washington established his final military headquarters in the City of Newburgh, and that his restive troops were encamped nearby, at the New Windsor Cantonment. Some history buffs will even be familiar with the pair of crises known as the Newburgh Letter and the Newburgh Conspiracy, in which the general adamantly rejected efforts to make him a king or an autocrat, rather than the first president of a self-governing republic (https://bit.ly/342pAu9).

But what’s this business with the Purple Heart? Why is there a museum dedicated to the medal’s history sharing the Historic Site of the New Windsor Cantonment?

The question arises now, because New York governor Andrew Cuomo has just announced a $17 million expansion of the National Purple Heart Hall of Honor. The 7,500-square-foot facility will close for a full year, as construction gets underway on 4,300 square feet of new and refurbished exhibit space, with an increased emphasis on stories of individual award recipients.

Cuomo is touting the improvements as part of a multifaceted campaign to make New York State, home to nearly 750,000 military vets, “the most veteran-friendly state in America.”

The project will involve expanding the Hall of Honor to incorporate integrated audiovisual and media presentations.

Once completed, the Hall will feature new exhibits that tell stories about joining the service, the day of the incident, field treatment and evacuation, the changing

nature of warfare, the consequences of war, the road to recovery and the ultimate sacrifice.

During the November 2019-toNovember 2020 construction period, the adjacent New Windsor Cantonment State Historic Site galleries will also be closed, but the Cantonment grounds will continue to be open year-round. Outdoor site events will continue, including Presidents’ Day weekend and costumed living history from April through October.

Work on compiling the Roll of Honor database of Purple Hearts recipients will also continue during the construction project.

Why here, though? The Purple Heart is the US military’s oldest medal, created by General Washington toward the end of the war in 1782 to recognize meritorious service – usually taking the form of bravery in combat (which might or might not have resulted in an injury).

Perhaps motivated by a desire to avoid replicating the class-based British model of military advancement, the Continental Congress had forbidden the commanderin-chief from granting commissions and promotions in rank as rewards for merit. As an alternative, Washington ordered that a Badge of Military Merit be established, intended specifically to reward the valor of enlisted men. He decreed its design to be “the figure of a heart in purple cloth or silk edged with narrow lace or binding,” to be worn over the left breast. Wearing this insignia allowed recipients to pass all guards and sentinels as freely as a commissioned officer.

Only three names of recipients of the Badge of Military Merit have survived

Nov. 21, 2019

THE PURPLE HEART IS THE US MILITARY’S OLDEST MEDAL, created here by General George Washington toward the end of the Revolutionary War to recognize meritorious service

in our records of the Revolutionary War era: Sergeant Elijah Churchill, 2nd Continental Dragoons; Sergeant William Brown, 5th Connecticut Continental Line Infantry; and Sergeant Daniel Bissel, 2nd Connecticut Continental Line Infantry.

Given the timing of its creation, it is presumed that the ceremonies awarding the Badge to these early heroes took place on Temple Hill, the site of the New Windsor Cantonment.

After the end of the war, the Badge of Merit fell into disuse. But in 1932, to honor the bicentennial of Washington’s birth, Douglas MacArthur, then Secretary of War, signed an order reinstating the Purple Heart. On May 28 of that year, 137 World War I veterans gathered at Temple Hill to receive their Purple Hearts. May 28 is still celebrated in New Windsor as Temple Hill Day. At first, the revived Purple Heart was exclusively awarded to Army and Army Air Corps personnel, but in 1942, FDR extended eligibility for the medal to sailors, Marines and Coast Guard personnel. Currently, the Purple Heart is awarded in the name of the President of the US to any member of the armed forces after April 5, 1917 who has been wounded or killed in action. Controversies have arisen over the decades about whether certain types of injuries qualified: frostbite, heatstroke, friendly fire, acts of terrorism, “mild” traumatic brain injuries, PTSD. The only US president ever to have earned one was John F. Kennedy, in 1943. The largest number ever awarded to a single serviceman was eight, to Major General Robert T. Frederick. As of today, the military has awarded an estimated 1.8 million Purple Hearts to soldiers, sailors, Marines and airmen.

It’s apparent that there’s a lot of history attached to this decoration, and the National Purple Heart Hall of Honor is the archive whose mission is to keep that history alive. A year or so from now, the public will be invited back through its doors for a more vividly immersive experience in what the medal means – especially to those who have earned it.

Cary Institute hosts “Sustainability: What We Need to Succeed” talk by Dr. Bruce Lourie

Kingston Model Railroad Club 99 Susan St. (off Pine Grove Avenue) Kingston, NY

Every Saturday and Sunday in November

subtitled The Secret Danger of Everyday Things, Rick Smith and Bruce Lourie conducted an experiment on themselves in which they monitored their own blood chemistry levels based on their usage of plastic products, such as eating out of microwaved containers. The bad news was that even a little exposure caused levels of BPA, phthalates and other hazardous chemicals to skyrocket. The good news was that there were measurably less of these toxins in the body soon after discontinuing such exposure.

Can the Earth heal itself as quickly if we stop polluting it, or are we already irrevocably past the tipping point? If you’re losing sleep worrying about that existential question and could use a dose of hope, you might want to catch Dr. Lourie’s talk on Friday evening at the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies in Millbrook, “Sustainability: What We Need to Succeed.” Drawing on three decades of work on the frontlines of plastic pollution, climate change and biodiversity protection, Lourie will discuss steps needed to achieve sustainability.

Lourie is known for having initiated the largest climate action in North America: phasing out coal in Ontario. He is currently the president of the Ivey Foundation, a private charitable foundation focusing on environmental policy change, and a senior fellow at Queen’s University. He has founded many environment-minded organizations now regarded as models in their respective fields. They include

He was the founding executive director of the Canadian Energy Efficiency Alliance and founding president of the Clean Air Foundation, and also wrote Toxin Toxout: Getting Harmful Chemicals Out of Our Bodies and Our World.

Lourie’s presentation begins at 7 p.m.

The indigenous inhabitants of Lenapehoking, the area stretching from the mid-Hudson Valley in the north to Delaware Bay in the south – including the entire state of New Jersey – were collectively known as the Lenape, meaning “real people.”

Lenape/Delaware Native American Center concept to be discussed in Stone Ridge

A

s if death, disease, displacement and disregarded treaties weren’t bad enough, the European settlers of the New World didn't get the names of our continent’s First Nations right. The indigenous inhabitants of Lenapehoking, the area stretching from the mid-Hudson Valley in the north to Delaware Bay in the south – including the entire state of New Jersey – were collectively known as the Lenape, meaning “real people.” But the colonists dubbed them the Delawares, which isn’t even an indigenous name; it was lifted from the English aristocratic title of Thomas West, third Baron De La Warr, Virginia’s first colonial governor.

The Lenape were united by a common Algonkian language, divided by the Kittatinny Mountains (the New Jersey spur of the Shawangunks) into northern Munsee and southern Unami dialects. According to their folklore, they had arrived from somewhere further west originally, but we have archaeological evidence of their presence going back some 12,000 years – to the end of the most recent Ice Age. They were mostly agricultural people, with a matrilineal and matrilocal clan system of social organization.

Of the estimated 20,000 Lenape descendants

now living in the US and Canada, very few reside in their ancestral homeland. Most are clustered on reservations in Oklahoma, Wisconsin and Ontario, as a result of one instance after another of forcible relocation to places then deemed undesirable for European-descended people. The only nearby exceptions are the Ramapough Lenape Nation communities clustered in the southern part of Rockland County and in Bergen and Passaic Counties in New Jersey, whose members claim descent from native people who fled into hiding in the mountains in the aftermath of wars with Dutch settlers in the mid-17th century.

But now a movement is afoot to establish a new home base of sorts in Lenapehoking for people of native ancestry – possibly in Ulster County, although no site has yet been identified.

Stone Ridge resident, business consultant, former school administrator, amateur historian and author Harv Hilowitz has recently launched a campaign to open a cultural hub to be called the Lenape/Delaware Native American Center of the Hudson Valley. The concept is very much in its formative stages; as yet there is no business plan, no founding Board of Directors or core group of investors, no not-for-profit status. But Hilowitz will share his vision with the public this Saturday in an

Open House at the Marbletown Community Center in Stone Ridge.

According to the new website dedicated to the concept, “The proposed Lenape/Delaware Native American Center in the Hudson Valley is envisioned as an attractive, contemporary facility in a meaningful natural setting, representing an important step toward: Restoring a Lenape presence here in a dignified, restorative and respectful way, providing Lenape/Delaware People an aspirational opportunity to return to this part of Lenapehoking, their ancestral land; Offering inspirational education and correct information about the people to the general

BARE FURNITURE Unfinished furniture

public, telling the Lenape/Delaware story in their own words; Creation of a platform for the presentation and sale of contemporary Lenape art and products, as well as traditionally inspired crafts, as a means of bringing increased recognition to the Lenape/Delaware as a living people, and additional income streams from such positive non-exploitative exposure and sales; Being a platform of advocacy for the Lenape/ Delaware and a springboard of restorative justice for them and all Indian Country.”

In addition to seeking financial support and site ideas for the venture, Hilowitz has issued a call for donations and loans of items that could be put on exhibit – with the caveat that sacred objects and grave goods will be “repatriated to the rightful tribal owners when so identified.”

He takes pains to specify that the project is “not into the appropriation of authentic Native American imagery, practices or customs for the purpose of exploitation or stereotyping.”

Hilowitz is also asking for introductions and contact information for “gatekeepers” who can legitimately claim to speak on behalf of contemporary Lenape peoples and provide guidance to the Center’s efforts toward “renewal of their ancient language, customs, cultural and traditional practices.”

It’s a tall order, but a journey of a thousand miles – even a long-delayed homeward journey – begins with a single step. To learn more, attend the discussion and roundtable beginning at 2 p.m. on Saturday, November 23 at the Marbletown Community Center, located at 3564 Main Street in Stone Ridge; or visit www.lenapecenter.org.

ALMANAC WEEKLY

Nov. 21, 2019

NIGHT SKY

Naming and unnaming the heavens And the December Snow Moon

S

ometimes names are helpful. At other times they cause trouble.

Consider the prominently wide gray/blue band that hugs the eastern horizon every clear evening for about 20 minutes around sunset. It has been there all your life, without fail. Yet odds are you’ve never noticed it, not once. But what if it had a name?

Actually, it does: It’s the Twilight Wedge. It has also been called the Belt of Venus. It’s nothing less then the shadow of our planet Earth being cast off into space. Knowing its name and what it means can make anyone notice it and, better still, appreciate its epic nature.

We have a fascinating celestial naming system, even if few people bother knowing it. You are way above average if you can recite the names of five stars. You’d also be doing well to name three of the 170odd moons of the solar system, or a single galaxy beyond our own Milky Way and our companion Andromeda.

That’s why it’s curious that people seem to want more celestial names. We’re talking about Full Moons. As things stand, only two of the year’s 13 Full Moons have names: the Harvest Moon of September and the Hunters’ Moon that follows it. And yet, during the last few years, you often hear on the radio or read on websites, “Go out Saturday and see the Snow Moon.”

It’s a strange development, because each Full Moon actually has dozens of names from various cultures and different Native American tribes. The December Full Moon was only the “Snow Moon” to the Cherokee. So why should anyone now announce it as if it’s a generally accepted title?

In case you care, the Full Moon coming up on December 12 was called the Twelfth Moon by the Dakota Sioux, the Long Night’s Moon by three other Native American tribes, the Christmas Moon by the American colonists, the Peach Moon by the Choctaw tribe, the Bitter Moon by the Chinese, the Cold Moon by the Celts…and on it goes. This is a new development, of media entities grabbing hold of one of the many Full Moon names of a month and then announcing it as if it’s somehow agreed-upon.

If you care about names of celestial objects, you’re opening the box of Pandora. Just consider the deep-space ones: those beyond our solar system. A couple dozen have popular names, like the Pleiades and the Orion Nebula. Fully 110 of the brightest were solely named by the French comet-hunter Charles Messier; we give all 110 a listing

Craters on the Moon are named for famous scientists. Lunar mountains are named after earthly mountain chains. The dark blotches on the Moon are all named for human emotions, or else weather phenomena. (Above) Astronaut Eugene Cernan driving on the lunar surface during the seventh and last manned lunar landing and return to Earth mission, Apollo 17, in 1972.

that starts with the letter M for Messier, followed by the number in his catalogue. So astronomers allude to his first item as M1, even though it’s also called the Crab Nebula.

That’s why astronomers chat about beautiful star clusters using language like “There’s M13” (or M22 or M15).

Since there are many more objects than Messier’s 110, late in the 19th century John Dreyer’s New General Catalogue listed clusters, nebulae and galaxies with the designation NGC followed by a number, and to this day the universe’s objects are mostly called things like NGC 4565. There are 7,840 NGC designations.

Craters on the Moon are named for famous scientists. Lunar mountains are named after earthly mountain chains. The dark blotches on the Moon are all named for human emotions, or else weather phenomena. On other celestial bodies, newly found features are required to be named according to strict rules set by the International Astronomical Union.

Stars have proper names coming from the Arabs, Greeks or Latins, with fainter ones assigned Greek letters or letter-and-number combinations. Commercial organizations that offer to name stars for a price have no official standing, and no astronomer or catalogue will ever refer to that star as “Emma.”

But ultimately, much can be said for standing under a starry sky far from city lights and not knowing any names at all. This may be best of all.

The Towns of Rochester and Saugerties have suffered diverse environmental impacts by receiving out of County materials that were used as “clean fill” and permanently landfilled in Ulster County.

Ulster County desires to amend the definition of refuse to include regulated waste and construction and demolition debris and prohibit these materials from being landfilled within the county borders.

Pre-Civil War and Cool Just minutes away from Kingston, this sweet pre-Civil War 3-bedroom, 1-bath farmhouse has still managed to keep its details -- handhewn beams, doors, hardware, stonework -- and give it the kind of character modern houses do not have. An added bonus is an office/studio space attached to the garage -perfect for someone with an in-home business.

In addition to a big eat-in kitchen there’s a separate brick-walled dining room. Current owners have made all the many necessary improvements, including a new septic system, to make it an up-to-date living experience. Upstairs could be a wonderful master suite simply by easily adding a bathroom above the existing one. Enjoy the enclosed rocking-chair porch or the back deck to gaze at the very pretty land with its impressive rock formations. For anyone wanting proximity to vibrant Kingston and the kind of character that avoids a cookie-cutter feel, this would be the ticket. ................................................... $299,000
