Rep. Pascrell, Sens. Menendez And Chiesa Introduce Legislation To Include Hinchliffe Stadium In The Great Falls National Park

Wed, 19 Jun 2013 18:55:47 GMT

WASHINGTON, D.C.— U.S. Rep. Bill Pascrell, Jr. (D-NJ-09) and U.S. Senators Robert Menendez (D-NJ) and Jeffrey Chiesa (R-NJ) today introduced the Hinchliffe Stadium Heritage Act, legislation that would make Paterson’s Hinchliffe Stadium a part of the Paterson Great Falls National Historical park, in their respective chambers. The ballpark — recently designated as a National Historic Landmark — was originally built in 1932 and was the home of the Negro Leagues’ New York Black Yankees and New York Cubans, as well as the 1936 Colored Championships of the Nation. "As one of only a handful of surviving Negro League stadiums in the nation, Hinchliffe tells the story of the struggles faced by African Americans who came north in search of economic opportunity and racial equality," said Rep. Pascrell. "Decades later this historic stadium symbolizes the strength and courage of the many players that graced its field, including Larry Doby, as they overcame great adversity in pursuit of a more perfect union. Including Hinchliffe within the National park is a fitting tribute to this special chapter in our nation's history, as well as the Silk City's rich cultural and historical contributions to America." “This legislation will help realize the original vision of the Paterson Great Falls National Historical park, which had included Hinchliffe Stadium. With Hinchliffe Stadium included in the park, a more complete American story can be told there, ...

Wolf Harassment Has Little Impact on Elk in Yellowstone National Park

The mere presence of wolves, previously shown to affect the behavior of elk in the greater Yellowstone ecosystem, is not potent enough to reduce the body condition and reproductive rates of female elk, according to new research published today. The research, led by recent University of Wyoming Ph.D. graduate Arthur Middleton, provides the most comprehensive evidence to date refuting the idea that wolves are capable of reducing elk calf recruitment indirectly through predation risk. The findings were published in the scientific journal Ecology Letters . "Elk respond to wolves, but less strongly and less frequently than we thought," says Middleton ... ...

Elizabeth May stands against oil exploration on Sable Island National Park Reserve

Tue, 18 Jun 2013 14:20:10 GMT

OTTAWA - Despite attempts to expedite the passage of Bill S-15 before summer recess, Green Party Leader Elizabeth May, MP Saanich-Gulf Islands, has blocked a motion for unanimous consent that would have bypassed the normal legislative process and allowed for oil and gas development in the newly created Sable Island National park Reserve. "During negotiations and in the Environment Committee, I made it clear that I could not support this Bill as it is written; it opens the door to oil exploration on Sable Island and sets a dangerous precedent for the rest of our National Parks," said May. "I am disappointed that all other parties were apparently willing to speed this Bill through the House without proper scrutiny, but I am unwilling to take that step." Bill S-15, an Act to amend the Canada National Parks Act and the Canada-Nova Scotia Offshore Petroleum Resources Accord Implementation Act and to make consequential amendments to the Canada Shipping Act 2001, would, among other things, establish Sable Island as a National park Reserve, a move that the Green Party enthusiastically supports. Unfortunately, Bill S-15 also enshrines the ability of Exxon-Mobil to conduct oil and gas exploration activities on Sable Island itself, in addition to drilling and fracking beneath the island using directional drilling. Further, power to make regulations regarding these activities rests solely with the Canada-Nova Scotia Offshore Petroleum Board, ...
