Racism In Our History

A bill to change the name of Robert Moses State Park — because of the racism of Mr. Moses — was introduced in Albany last week by State Assemblyman Daniel O’Donnell of Manhattan. An attorney, he grew up in Suffolk County, in Commack (and is an older brother of Rosie O’Donnell, the TV personality and author). His measure declares that “Robert Moses repeatedly abused his power to entrench racial and economic segregation.” Examples cited: When Moses built Jones Beach State Park, “he intentionally ordered the overpasses of the connected parkway too low for buses, so that poor people, particularly African-American ... 9 Dec 2019 by Staff Writer

Hayground School News, December 12

Hayground School Students in Marybeth Pacilio’s and RJ Partington’s class took turns teaching the class about different aspects of slavery that they researched in small groups. Their focus has been on the origins, the middle passage, and the impact that slavery had on families and the lives of children in particular. Students have also been reading selected excerpts from Jules Lester’s “To Be A Slave.” It is a collection of first-person narratives of those who were enslaved. The topics are emotionally challenging, but the students are very clear about the importance of bearing witness to history in order to build ... by my27east

Life Is Weird, Eh?

This happened a long time ago, so I may not remember the details correctly, but bear with me. I was doing a magazine piece about the attempt to turn Big Sur into a national park in order to preserve it, and I flew west to San Francisco, where a friend had a married sister who would put me up for a night. She and her husband gathered me in at the airport and drove me to their place. It was around 1 in the morning. Even though I was tired, we got to talking. His name was Jody Procter. He ... 6 Dec 2019 by Staff Writer

A Wonderland, Indeed

From a perch in a craggy tree, in every surviving ditch row, there is the slender bump of a hawk. The bird is hunting, patiently watching among the clumps of grass and earth below for a mouse to move or a mole to turn. After a two-month absence, the rough-legged hawk returns to my chicken yard, and on this mild morning he is perched on a low limb, focused on an abandoned herb garden. For what I believed would be a leisurely harvest, when I arrive in the field I can feel the cold air through my clothing. Five minutes ... 3 Dec 2019 by Staff Writer

Base Instincts

Way back in high school civics class, we argued about the role of “representative government” and the Constitution. We learned that our House of Representatives, an integral part of the Legislative Branch, is a body of men and women whose job is to represent the interests of their various constituents, scattered across all 50 states. Each representative concerns himself or herself with being the voice of roughly 600,000 individuals. Today, we have 435 congresspersons: 233 Democrats, 197 Republicans, one Independent, and four vacancies. But what does it truly mean to “represent” a congressional district? There are two basic philosophies: The ... 2 Dec 2019 by Staff Writer

A New Knee

Checking into a hospital for surgery is like checking into the Army: You become the number printed on your wristband — name, rank and date of birth. You have to go by their rules, which they call “protocol.” No deviation. No rings on your fingers, or they cut them off. The rings, that is. I tried to convince my surgeon, Doc Brian, that with an epidural I wouldn’t feel any pain, so I didn’t need to be sedated and could do my yoga breathing. He said, “But I’m hammering and sawing and making a lot of noise. You will feel ... by Staff Writer

Held Hostage

When the Long Island Power Authority sought a partner in 1998 to work with it in operating Long Island’s energy system, it selected what it — and many — considered the best utility in the New York Metropolitan Area: Brooklyn Union Gas Company. Especially under the leadership of Eugene Luntey, who spent 39 years with Brooklyn Union, including as its chairman and CEO (he’s now retired, with a home on Shelter Island), it had a superlative record. With a changed name, KeySpan, it joined up with LIPA. But then, suddenly, in 2006, KeySpan was bought, for $7.3 billion, by a ... by Staff Writer
