Perhaps you can help me to dispel a misconception. It is born of a phrase that sets my teeth on edge, causes the hair on the back of my neck to stand up, elevates my blood pressure, and can result in fulminating and inveighing. That vampire of a phrase: “Paying for tax cuts.” I mean, really? One can embrace the concept of “paying for tax cuts” if, and only if, one assumes that all capital, income, and wealth belong to the government, and that we must wait breathlessly for our semi-elected officials to dole out our allotted pittance, while they, in their oh-so-finite wisdom decide what is the best fate of our “appropriated” (in at least two senses of the word) funds. This concept also relies on the notion that government can never get by on less than before. It assumes that spending must increase, entitlements broaden, and even that reducing the rate of growth of budgets is cutting them. Here’s a novel idea: Give us our money back and spend less. Please help me drive stakes through the heart of this Draculian misnomer whenever and wherever you encounter it. Thank you. —Ken Moore, Precinct 241 Chair Travis County, Texas

On the night of the summer solstice, Wednesday, June 21st, NASA Solar System Ambassador, William Francis Taylor will discuss this celestial event and the traditions it has inspired throughout the ages. The lecture will be held at the Montauk Library beginning at 7:30 PM (details below). After his talk, William will set up a telescope and give folks a tour of the night sky, weather permitting.
MO has lots of other exciting events coming up. We hope you'll join us for one or all!
Thanks to our angel contractor, Tom Frey, who has recently completed more work on the structure, we're now closer to providing the communities of the South Fork with their first astronomical observatory!
If you know of anyone who would like to loan us their solar telescope (or a scope w/the proper solar filters) so that we can safely show the public the solar eclipse on August 21st, please contact me asap; if the scope owner would like to operate the scope during the event, that would be wonderful as well.
Simiarly, if you or someone you know would like to donate a solar telescope, it would not only be used for the upcoming eclipse, but invaluable for outreach programs to schools, etc. Thanks!
As always, if you have any questions or suggestions, please don't hesitate to contact me. Meanwhile, thanks for your continued interest. We'll look forward to seeing you soon!
All the best, Donna L. McCormick Executive Director Montauk Observatory Inc.
