The program being presented is “To the Jews First.” Chosen People Ministries is an over 100-yearold mission that was founded in 1894 by Leopold Cohn, a Hungarian rabbi who came to believe that Jesus was the Messiah of Israel.

The Greenville Pioneer • Friday, January 14, 2022 15 MOON, from page 1 “Artists were asked to submit work that featured an object, place or memory that signified comfort and tranquility during quarantine,” Liu-Haller said. For her family, that meant in their own backyard, as they spent three months working outside when the lockdown hit. “It became our daily routine and gave us purpose during that time,” she said. “My daughter and I would often sit on the ground coming through the stones around the garden, talking and sharing the ones we liked best. This drawing is of the actual spot we would sit in. So, when I see this image, I think of the comfort we found within our family during that time.” An image of Liu-Haller’s 8x8 charcoal and graphite drawing will be laser-etched on a nickel microfiche, enclosed on a lunar lander, and placed on the moon in perpetuity. The nickel microfiche is designed to withstand the moon’s humidity and temperature changes. Peralta has the opportunity to purchase space for The Lunar Codex on the commercial payloads that are being launched to the moon as part of the Commercial Lunar Payload Service (CLPS) in preparation for NASA’s Artemis Program, which plans to land humans back on the moon in 2024 for the first time in over half a century. From 2021 to 2023, NASA is sending scientific instruments to the moon in preparation for the mission. Along with NASA equipment, the missions will carry commercial payloads, including The Lunar Codex. Peralta has divided The Lunar Codex into three time capsules that will be launched in 2022 and 2023. The first to go, “The Peregrine Collection,” is planned for a spring 2022 landing at CONTRIBUTED PHOTO Liu-Haller’s piece, “Snapshot Series #4: Solace,” which will be placed in The Lunar Codex and delivered to the moon. Lacus Mortis. “The Nova Collection,” which includes Liu-Haller’s work, is scheduled to be delivered to Oceanus Procellarum by SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket and Intuitive Machines’ Nova-C Lander in June 2022. Oceanus Procellarum, which translates from the Latin to “Ocean of Storms,” is a vast plain on the western edge of the moon’s near side, formed by volcanic activity billions of years ago. “The Polaris Collection” is currently slated for a summer 2023 delivery to the Lunar South Pole. While The Lunar Codex focuses heavily on visual art, it also includes poetry, stories, books, music and screenplays, among other art forms. Peralta began the project, which he is funding himself, during the COVID-19 pandemic as a way to spread hope during this challenging time. “The Codex instills the Moon with some of the heart of humanity, our art, so that when we look to the sky, the Moon is a tangible symbol of hope, of what is possible when you believe,” he wrote on his website, www. lunarcodex.com. He also intends for The Lunar Codex to be “a message-in-a-bottle to the future,” showing those who find it how the world turned to art during tumultuous times on Earth. “I would like others to see the plethora of talent that existed among our artists,” Liu-Haller said. “And to know that just because technology surged to new heights and became of greater importance, our artistic talent wasn’t lost. We were still creating.” After Chicago, “Snapshot Series #4” went on to be exhibited in Liu-Haller’s first solo exhibition at Denver’s Abend Gallery, and the piece, along with others, can be viewed at the gallery’s website, www.abendgallery.com. With shifting time schedules, the June 2022 date for the Nova Collection’s approximate three-day, 240,000-mile journey to the moon is tentative. As for her part in history? “There are so many variables involved with the launch — I don’t think it will fully sink in until the capsules have safely landed on the Moon,” Liu-Haller said. SCHOOLS, from page 1 on the district website Jan. 2, one day prior to his official appointment by the board of education Jan. 3. “Mike impressed us as the type of individual who puts students first and has the ability to develop strong relationships with the students, school staff and the community,” Board of Education Vice President Jay Goodman said. “We anticipate him becoming an active member of the Greenville community.” Bennett has been assistant superintendent for school administration in the Schodack Central School District for the past eight years. During his tenure with the district, he also served as middle school principal from 2008 to 2012. He was also a special education teacher in the East Greenbush district from 1998 to 2006. “I appreciate the confidence that the Greenville Board of Education has shown in me,” Bennett said. “I look forward to becoming a part of the Greenville school district and working with the team to continue the district’s growth.” The Schodack district bid Bennett farewell on the district’s website and said he will remain in his position as assistant superintendent in Schodack until he transitions into the Greenville post March 7. “The entire district congratulates Mr. Bennett on his well-deserved next step in his professional journey,” according to the Schodack district. “He will be missed by all who have had the pleasure to know and work with him in Schodack. Greenville has chosen a talented and dedicated leader in Mr. Bennett. He has done many great things for the students and staff of Schodack during his tenure here. We know he will do the same for Greenville.” Bennett has a bachelor of arts degree in U.S. History from SUNY Albany and a master of science degree in special education from The College of Saint Rose. He presently lives in Castleton, NY. GREENVILLE, from page 1 said. “As a local town, we will see 3% of the sales tax revenue. So if a successful business has a million dollars’ worth of revenue in 12 months’ time, our town will only see $30,000 in sales tax revenue and that is if a successful business can get off the ground and have sales of a million dollars.” Macko said he has heard from residents who don’t want the town to turn down a possible revenue source, but he, too, was skeptical about how much revenue could actually be generated. Greene County Legislator Greg Davis, R-Greenville, urged the town board to opt out. “In 2019, [former Gov.] Cuomo tried to dump this on the counties and it didn’t go over well,” Davis said. “A bunch of the large counties publicly said they were going to opt out. This went through in 2020 and the way it was designed is it was put onto the towns since it did not go over well with the counties. As a resident of Greenville, I am absolutely against the lounges and I heavily question whether we are really going to make a lot of money with the dispensaries. This is going to be more headache for the town than we need and my recommendation would be to say no because you can always opt back in, but if you opt in now, you are stuck — you can’t get out of it.” Legalized marijuana has led to issues in other states, Davis added. “All states that have legalized marijuana have seen an increase in deaths due to impaired drivers,” Davis said. Rauf recommended the town reject both retail sales and lounges. “My opinion as a member of the board is that we should opt out tonight and give the local community members an opportunity to referendum the issue, if that is their choice,” Rauf said. “That is truly the only way as a board that we should vote tonight — we should opt out and give the community the opportunity to referendum the issue.” Local residents would have 45 days after the board’s vote to collect an adequate number of signatures and put the issue to a referendum by voters, town attorney Tal Rappleyea said. Town Councilman Travis Richards agreed the board should opt out. “I think it is in our best interest tonight to opt out with the option of opting in later on,” Richards said. “To me, this is a much larger discussion than the five people that sit at this table and the four people that are sitting in the audience. I would rather see some sort of referendum to allow the mass of the town to speak because this will be the face of the town, in reality, and let them decide what they want to see in the town, not just the five people sitting here.” Town Councilman Richard Bear agreed. “As a board member, I am very concerned about it so I would opt out along with the other board members,” Bear said. “I feel we are not set up in our zoning for this. It’s kind of a scary situation, plus I don’t like the idea that we are doing it just as a board — I think it affects the whole community and I think we need to go to a referendum vote in the community. That is a much better way to go about it.” Greenville joins several neighboring towns that have opted out of permitting both dispensaries and lounges, including Cairo, Durham and New Baltimore.
