Farms Need Winter

Three burlap sacks never made it back to the barn. Left by the base of the sycamore tree, they became the hibernating place for ladybugs. Ladybugs over-winter in debris. Deep in the folds of the rough fabric, the ladybugs have filled the layered tiers with the knit of tightly packed red bodies. Ladybugs are revered by farmers and gardeners. So named by medieval winemakers, after The Lady, given to them by God, to protect their precious crop. Ladybugs do not have “lady-like” appetites — they can eat up to five aphids a day. It takes about 3,000 ladybugs to patrol ... 7 Feb 2023 by Marilee Foster

Carrots and Sticks

“Gov. Hochul’s ambitious housing plan meets suburban blockade” was the headline last week in the Gothamist. “Gov. Kathy Hochul’s plan to build 800,000 new homes over the next 10 years statewide is running into a familiar obstacle: suburbanites,” began the article. It continued: “Already, local officials in Westchester County, the Hudson Valley and on Long Island are organizing against the central plank of the Democrat’s newly unveiled plan that would set housing production targets for every city, town or village in the state. If a municipality misses the mark, the state could step in and approve new housing development, Hochul ... by Karl Grossman

Is Change Coming?

The New York State Commission on the Future of the Long Island Power Authority held a series of public hearings in recent months through the LIPA service area — in its far west in the Rockaways, Queens and in Nassau County, then in western Suffolk County and on the East End. With a few exceptions, people speaking at the five hearings strongly supported LIPA becoming what the vision of it was to be when it was established more than three decades ago: a public power utility running the energy grid here, and with an elected board of trustees that would ... 31 Jan 2023 by Karl Grossman

A Waste of Time

Travel offers us safe temptation. It lets us be someone we are not, a tourist, for a few days, a week, a month. A tourist, by design, is there to lap the cream from the top of any place — to roll high, to indulge carnal wants. Be it food, be it warmth, be it drink, adventure or sleep, a tourist on vacation follows temptation, gets it, pays for it, and hopes to be sated somehow more deeply. We like to think we are educated, enlightened and rejuvenated by vacation. I do not like leaving home and becoming a tourist ... by Marilee Foster

Games We Play

My father was a card player. Solitaire was the first card game he taught me. I must have been 8 or 9. It was in a rented summer cottage called “Tree Top,” steps from Tiana Bay. It was sweep-in-sweep-out tiny and didn’t have a TV. Paper dolls and coloring books, our usual indoor entertainment, were losing their appeal. One night, I walked into the kitchen, where my father was hunched over the table smoking a Lucky Strike while he placed seven cards in a row. I asked what he was doing. He said that he was playing solitaire. He winked: ... 30 Jan 2023 by Denise Gray Meehan
