The Mending Ground tree planting project has kicked off this fall at Thousand Islands National Park.4,000 trees will have been planted as the season wraps up this week, with the park’s focus being on restoring a former quarry on Hill Island that was active over 50 years ago to a forested habitat.The Mending Ground project will aim to plant as many as 18,000 trees in that quarry, with a goal of planting 38,000 trees throughout the park in 10 years. The project falls under the umbrella of the federal government’s 2 Billion Trees program, which is providing up to $3.2 billion over 10 years to support efforts by provinces, not for profits, and Indigenous organizations to plant trees. Mary Beth Lynch, the Mending Ground Project Lead, says the planting project – and in particular planting within the quarry – has been something that park staff have hoped to do for a while, and the boost in funding from the 2 Billion Trees program has allowed it to happen.“We&#...

Kramer: College presidents need to show leadership

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:35:39 GMT

Unrest on college campuses increased during the 60’s and early 70’s.  Racial tension rose following the assassination of Martin Luther King, and painfully slow desegregation after the rejection of the “separate but equal” doctrine of Plessy v. Ferguson  in 1896. Combined with the growing unease and concern with our role in Vietnam where thousands of young American servicemen were killed, times were turbulent and college students joined forces in protest.Today, similar unrest is being demonstrated on many campuses, but not due to domestic and international policies of the United States. Hate and prejudice are being exhibited by students as antisemitism and Israeli support grows in constituencies which confront each other based on recent events in the Middle East.The horrific slaughter of Israelis by Hamas terrorists on Oct. 7 is cited by supporters of Israel to justify the retaliatory attacks against Hamas in Gazan villages regardless of civilian casualties.

Brennan: Generational tobacco bans shun civil liberties

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:35:39 GMT

Under the pretext of youth smoking prevention, over-zealous anti-tobacco crusaders have finally unveiled their real endgame – the total ban on all nicotine-containing products for all people, including those who have reached legal adulthood.If advocates achieve the age-based prohibition goals they are currently pushing, then one day a retiree looking to purchase a cigar for the golf course or a trucker seeking a non-tobacco nicotine pouch will be treated like a 12-year-old trying to drive a car or purchase a beer in a pub or liquor store.The so-called “Nicotine-Free Generation” movement is, in fact, a generational sales prohibition that bans anyone born after a certain date from ever purchasing nicotine or tobacco products. The town of Brookline enacted a bylaw in 2021 that banned anyone born on or after Jan. 1, 2000 from purchasing tobacco or nicotine products in the town. Retailers sued, and their case is before the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court. Despite the ongoing litigat...

Editorial: Social Security is nearing a crisis

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:35:39 GMT

Washington seems determined to ignore the country’s rapidly worsening fiscal picture, but sooner or later policymakers will be forced to pay attention. When they do, they’ll find that changes to Social Security are unavoidable.No doubt, any such effort will meet strong political resistance. That’s why nothing has been done for 40 years and counting. The best approach — on the merits and as a matter of political feasibility — would combine entitlement reform with fresh thinking about financial security in retirement.Thanks to relentless pressure from an aging population, Social Security is expected to exhaust its financial reserves in 2033. At that point, without offsetting action, benefits will automatically be cut by a quarter.The program’s last big overhaul, in 1983, scheduled a gradual rise in the normal retirement age from 65 to the current 67. Life expectancy will increase further over the coming decades, and longer retirements will continue to raise costs. Indexing the normal ...

‘Invisible Beauty’ captures fashion pioneer Bethann Hardison

Bethann Hardison, the pioneering activist, model, fashion icon and groundbreaker, does things her way.  And nothing illustrates that better than that she directs her own documentary about her life, “Invisible Beauty” with FrédéricTcheng.“Basically, in directing myself it’s to step out of your way, trying to act like you are not the subject,” Hardison, an energized 80, explained in a Zoom interview.“The good news is that whatever Frédéric wants to shoot, I could say, ‘OK, that makes sense.’ ‘OK, we’ll go to Mexico.’ ”“For a while,” Cheng said, “I just want to say ‘Yes’ because it is about mutual respect. In the process of making the film I became even more impressed. It’s all about each of us trying to engage in a conversation that was meaningful. Trying to just have that dialogue.“This is really about collaboration and when you put your best foot forward, trying to impress the other person. That’s when, hopefully, good things happen.”Hardison was a Black woman pion...
