What Goes Up ...

I learned to downhill ski when I was 25. And, like all my sporting endeavors, I’ve never been good at it. In terms of exercise, I’m at my best when moving one body part at a time. For instance, biceps curls. I’m great at raising and lowering my arms. I even do it with weights in my hands. If I’m required to make several movements simultaneously — like bend my knees, shift my weight and plant my ski poles — things go awry. I’m a klutz. I drop things.

The Next Preservation Frontier?

The economic foundation of Suffolk County for centuries: farming and fishing. As to farming, great strides have been made in the last 50 years in preserving farming — and keeping Suffolk among the top agricultural counties in New York State. Last week, I was driving on County Route 48, running through the North Fork. Since I was last on it, there seemed to be more and more vineyards, huge vineyards on both sides of the highway. Much credit is due to Louisa and Alex Hargrave, who had the insight to understand that Suffolk County would be a good place to ... by Karl Grossman

A Better Place?

There was quite the political explosion last week about the first-in-the-nation congestion pricing program that took effect in Manhattan last month, including comments from Suffolk County, although many miles away. The administration of President Donald Trump last week rescinded what had been federal approval of the program. U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy scored the plan’s fee for drivers entering Manhattan south of 60th Street, which includes $9 for operators of cars on weekdays from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m., $2.25 overnight, and higher for trucks. Duffy called that a “slap in the face to working-class Americans and small-business owners.” (It ... 25 Feb 2025 by Karl Grossman

VIEWPOINT: What Defunding USAID Will Cost the U.S. and the Rest of the World

By Jan Kumar, Lynn Bakamjian, Karen Hardee, Sandra Jordan and Karen Newman Elon Musk is on a mission, with Donald Trump’s blessing, to destroy USAID. Though it is doubtful that either of them knows much about what USAID does or how it works, that doesn’t stop them from spreading baseless smears about the agency on their bully platforms to make Americans believe it is a corrupt waste of money. Suddenly cutting off funding for the organization is cruel and short-sighted. It shows indifference to the tragic human toll it will take and ignorance of what the U.S. stands to lose. ... by Jan Kumar, Lynn Bakamjian, Karen Hardee, Sandra Jordan and Karen Newman

Watching Nature

Morning, past its twilight, the sun fills and warms the still air. In the ditch row, and protected places, the cardinal’s voice is up against many, while the wrens single themselves out and assert from three different locations. One is at the horse farm, one in the unpruned roses at Dr. Stock’s, and the last is near the woodpile in my mother’s backyard. Starlings command the slightly obnoxious high register; an obscure melody that some would contend is too sophisticated for the human ear exists between flocks. The sound is spring’s first mention of itself, and while it may be ... by Marilee Foster

Out in It

The wind kept rising until all the trees flexed. Branches were lost, great limbs came crashing down — this is the way nature prunes her wares. In winter, when things are bare, she gets to the brittle parts. February has brought a steady change in weather: Rough then mild, snow then rain, and the aforementioned gale starts up and lasts for days. I have a winter weather deficit, a self-diagnosed mixture of nostalgia, disbelief and sadness. The only antidote is immersion. When the weather is bad, when the barn doors rattle and the air turns mean, go out in it. ... 18 Feb 2025 by Marilee Foster

Hurdles To Clear

It was a culinary and historic disaster: bird flu striking the Crescent Duck Farm, the last duck farm on Long Island. Some 99,000 ducks, the farm’s entire flock, had to be euthanized because of bird flu. The future of the Crescent Duck Farm involves several thousand eggs. Not only is Crescent Farm the last of what had been many duck farms on Long Island, it has produced — and I think many would agree — the finest ducks to eat, certainly in the nation and probably in the world. “Crescent Duck was started by Henry Corwin in 1908 in Aquebogue ... 15 Feb 2025 by Karl Grossman

Walls Came Tumbling Down

The world can be a scary place. Bird flu is threatening to be the next pandemic. President Elon Musk gutting the government. The growing percentage that an asteroid will strike Earth.

It’s a good time to write about the 65th anniversary this Sunday of the end of a revered ballfield.
