‘Good’ and ‘Bad’ Bugs

Early this summer, while scouting the eggplant, I came across a few potato beetles. They were the first hatch, the ones laid weeks earlier by the adults that survived the winter. There are rarely just a few of these, so I ready my fingers to start pinching. I check the time, take a deep breath and begin, gently pushing the sturdy plants away in the motion of inspection.

The potato industry that once supported these bugs is ... 28 Nov 2023 by Marilee Foster

Washington asked Benjamin Tallmadge to recruit spies, mainly in New York City, where the ... 27 Nov 2023 by Jim Marquardt

LIPA’s Last-Ditch Move

The Legislative Commission on the Future of the Long Island Power Authority, a bipartisan eight-member panel, has concluded that LIPA should be a full public utility and operate the electric system on Long Island itself, not contract out the work. This comes as PSEG, the Newark, New Jersey-based utility that former Governor Andrew Cuomo in 2011 arranged to get a contract to run the Long Island grid, has been involved in intense lobbying of state officials to keep doing it. The commission’s just-out report said cutting out PSEG would provide a savings of $50 million to $80 million a year ... by Karl Grossman
