One of my friends owns the Green Bay Packers. Back in November, the topic of conversation at the mahjong table was Thanksgiving plans. Sally Belfi announced that she was going to the Packers game in Green Bay, Wisconsin. She added a green battery-operated heated vest to wear with her thermals, down coat, her warmest hat, socks and boots. I asked her: Why Green Bay? That’s when she told me that she and family members were owners of the Packers. I gasped in surprise. She laughed and said, “Not like Jimmy Jones, Rob Walton or Steve Tisch.

Digital Detox

Sympathetically, I told my students last week that the use of cellphones wasn’t allowed in my classes. When I became a professor (of journalism) in 1978, cellphones were certainly not an issue. But, these days, youngsters are, I’d say, more attached to their cellphones than any other object (exceeded only perhaps, for those of driving age, by their cars). And there is obsessive use of them. I expressed sympathy as classes started for the 2025 semester, because cellphones have in recent years become a necessity in functioning in what has been dubbed the “digital society.” It’s not the students’ fault ... by Karl Grossman

Sounds of Winter

Now that most leaf blowers have gone into hibernation, we have the real quiet of midwinter to relish. Contrary to description, quiet is not actually quiet, but it is largely left alone, undisturbed, and so in the empty, cold air you can hear the small but cumulative sounds. Things like beach pebbles, miles away, drawing back with a wave. The predation begins before dawn. The woman fills her feeders. The sparrows move in, and doves, lazy from the cold night, flap down from high branches to huddle on the ground. One small movement begets another — and the hawk sifts ... 28 Jan 2025 by Marilee Foster

Two Whoppers

Governor Kathy Hochul recently issued two whoppers of vetoes of measures passed by the New York State Legislature. One was of a bill that recognizes the Montaukett Indian Nation. As East Hampton Town declared in a proclamation in November, “the Montaukett remain resilient.” But don’t tell that to Governor Hochul. The Montaukett were the victims of a land grab in a 1910 court case, Pharaoh v. Benson. “The New York State courts removed recognition from the Montaukett in a racist decision based on the legal fiction that the Montaukett were extinct to justify what could only be described as a ... by Karl Grossman
