In Its ‘Hands’

The orchards of New Jersey are filled with smoke. It is dawn, it is well below freezing, and the orchard on the south side of the highway is vast; the protective smoke cannot fully diminish the white glow of so many flowers. Frost is devastating for fruit farms, so, driving past, seeing this, I pray for them. I know they have been up for hours, doing everything they can.

Landmark Decision

Hats off to Councilman Bill Pell, and the Southampton Town Board majority, for adopting a new nonconforming sand mine amortization law [“Southampton Town Board Adopts Sand Mine Amortization Law,” 27east.com, April 9]. It’s a legislative mouthful, but the outcome is extremely important for the future of our environment. Like the Long Island Landfill Law, Pine Barrens Protection Act, Community Preservation Fund, and the Suffolk County Water Quality Restoration Act before it, this important new law has roots in decades of experience with the value of groundwater protection, and the costly public consequences of indifference.
