Rare and Exotic

Just in time for the holidays, some spare cash can be found in pockets. For a farmer, this pocket might be from a winter coat laid down years ago. He’d left a few twenties in the breast pocket — it felt like the lotto when he found them later. Anyway, the temperature dropped last week, and another farmer remembered another coat, seen thrown in the corner. Pretty suddenly, as if November was trying to make up for lost time, it rained, thank God, and it got colder. After a three-month dry spell, almost 2 inches of rain came down, and ... 3 Dec 2024 by Marilee Foster

Everybody in the Pool!

“You’ll get used to it.” I was mumbling that to myself between curse words as I was wading into a 72-degree swimming pool in the basement of a hotel in Vienna. The hotel was once a bank, and its spa is in what was the bank’s vault. They had turned the vault’s door into a window overlooking the pool. People in the spa’s reception could look down at me and read my lips as I said, “Holy s-expletive, this pool is cold!” You might remember, a few columns ago, I coined the word “s-expletive,” because at this family newspaper we ... by Tracy Grathwohl

In the northwest corner of Suffolk County is the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. Its outrageous history is detailed in a forthcoming book “Long Island and the Legacy of Eugenics: Station of Intolerance.” The book, by Mark A. Torres, an attorney as well as an author, will be released by The History Press on January 21. Torres also wrote the 2021 book “Long Island Migrant Labor Camps: Dust for Blood,” an examination of the plight of migrant farmworkers here, also published by The History Press. It’s the best work I’ve ever read on this subject. Torres is general counsel of Teamsters ... by Karl Grossman

For Whom the Bell Tolls

Mass deportations. It’s become the catchphrase for the terror, cruelty, heartlessness and chaos many associate with the pending Donald Trump redux administration. As Trump’s leading day one promise, it has captured most of the headlines — that is, until a cabinet of clowns began being nominated. The terror comes from the fear that we will get Trump unleashed from the norms and normies that harnessed his first administration — a Donald J. Trump schooled in the federal levers of power and fueled by a hyper-inflated sense of a mandate. The rapidity and rapaciousness with which Trump is acting has bedazzled ... 24 Nov 2024 by Carlos Sandoval

The Pause Is Over

The congestion pricing plan is back — but will the plan stick? Will it actually be reality? The board of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority last week voted 12-1 to approve a $9 toll during peak hours for drivers of cars entering Manhattan below 60th Street, starting January 5. The toll would be about 50 percent higher for drivers without E-ZPass, and higher for trucks. The $9 is down from the $15 that Governor Kathy Hochul initially proposed. Then, in June, just weeks before the first-in-the-nation plan was to take effect, Hochul announced what she termed a “pause.” The impact of ... by Karl Grossman

Work It

For Kelsey Marechal … Change is the opportunity to try again. And it isn’t always a good thing, but change is an inevitable thing, and so at the very least we must try to “work it,” be ready for it. If you do not work it, change is likely to sweep you along, depositing you where it sees fit. Of course, you could be hydroplaning … and no amount of steering will help. The closure of Kmart was the inevitable change, because the potato farm, Woolco, Caldor all failed, too. Why continue the century-long trend? Why not imagine this prime, ... by Marilee Foster

The Far Side

No rain for over three months, and we can be glad this isn’t the growing season: The fall crops are inclined to idle, grow slow, as dew is enough to keep the spinach alive. But the aphids don’t die, and nor are they washed away. I go out before daybreak, and the sky is so clear that the satellites, slow-moving buoys, stand out. A launch is no longer a strange sight. A string of them, being towed into Earth’s low orbit, ascend into the eastern sky. It is still night, and the tremendous noise that must exist is silent. Behind ... 19 Nov 2024 by Marilee Foster
