Bayonne Bridge hampers New York harbor shipping
Bridge is too low

Bayonne Bridge

The Bayonne Bridge, which opened in November, 1931, connects Bayonne, N.J. and Staten Island. It was designed by Othmar Ammann, the master bridge designer and chief engineer of the Port Authority, who also designed the George Washington Bridge and the Verrazano Narrows Bridge, among others. (Photo: Terese Loeb Kreuzer)

The graceful, steel arch of the Bayonne Bridge, which has connected Bayonne, N.J. with Staten Island since 1931, is a landmark to some but an eyesore to members of New York and New Jersey's shipping industry. "It's too low for the cargo ships now coming into the harbor," said Frank McDonough, president of the New York Shipping Association.

There are five major terminals in New York harbor. Four of them are west of the bridge in Port Elizabeth, Port Newark and Staten Island. The bridge offers a clearance of just over 152 feet. At the present time, in order to get under this span, the larger vessels have to wait for low tide both coming and going. "A lot of the vessels are coming in light loaded because of the economy," said Mr. McDonough. This means that the ships ride higher in the water. If they can't get into the Port of New York and New Jersey, they go to Norfolk, Va. if possible.

Many carriers are switching to even larger vessels, Mr. McDonough noted, which will handle twice as much cargo as current vessels. When the newly widened Panama Canal opens in 2014, vessels will be larger still.

"The Port of New York and New Jersey supports around 240,000 jobs," Mr. McDonough said. Around 21 percent of the business handled by the port is discretionary, meaning that the cargo isn't destined for the New York/New Jersey region and could go elsewhere. Unless a solution is found to the Bayonne Bridge problem, the port stands to lose around 50 percent of the remaining business, according to Mr. McDonough.

Steve Coleman, a spokesman for the Port Authority, which runs most of the bridges, tunnels, airports and seaports within the New York/New Jersey port said that the Army Corps of Engineers is studying the problem. The Port Authority expects to receive a report within the next month or two.

"The Army Corps interviewed all of our carrier members," said Mr. McDonough, "and they unanimously agreed that we need to fix this."

The options, he said, would be to build a new, higher bridge either east or west of the current one, to raise the existing bridge or to build a tunnel. The New York Shipping Association and its members favor the tunnel because "it would cause the least amount of disruption to Staten Island and Bayonne."

Each of these options would take around 10 years to carry out and cost around $1 billion.

Though the solution is not immediate, Mr. McDonough said that "our carriers have told us that if we commit to fixing the air draft problem [the distance between the bottom of the bridge and the water], they will commit to coming to this port."

Mr. McDonough hopes that the states of New York, New Jersey and the federal government would contribute funds to replacing or reconfiguring the Bayonne Bridge and that "the Port Authority will take this up immediately," as soon as the Army Corps of Engineers report is released.

Battery Park City in bloom
Yarrow

Yarrow

Surrounded by the showy blooms of roses and hydrangeas, it might be possible to overlook the flat-topped, yellow flowers growing on Rector Place near the esplanade. But yarrow (Achillea millifolium) has a long and interesting history.

The genus name, Achillea, comes from the name of the warrior Achilles, who fought Hector at the Battle of Troy, as Homer recounts in The Iliad. Achilles purportedly carried yarrow with him to stanch wounds. One of the common names of the plant is "Soldier's Woundwort."

Another common name, "Devil's Nettle," comes from the Middle Ages, when witches were said to use yarrow in their magic spells. Yarrow was said to be useful in summoning the devil or in driving him away.

In China, yarrow stalks were dried and used in divination. The Saxons put yarrow in amulets.

The plant has many medicinal uses, depending on how it is prepared. It has been used to relieve headaches and hay fever, stimulate digestion, relieve pain and quiet inflammation.

The name comes from Middle English, "yar(o)we," and Old English, "gearwe," related to both the Dutch word, "gerw," and Old High German, "garawa." The name itself shows yarrow's antiquity in human consciousness and usage.

Wild yarrow is white, but cultivars come in many colors, including the brilliant yellow Achillea millifolium 'Moonshine' growing on Rector Place.

Mosquitoes

Duckling

Q: With all the rain we've had recently, mosquitoes seem to be flourishing. What does Battery Park City do to control the mosquito population?

A:  Mosquitos only breed in still water, so the Battery Park City Authority (BPCA) controls them by preventing standing water within the parks. "We do this in a number of ways," said Tessa Huxley, executive director of the Battery Park City Parks Conservancy, an arm of the BPCA. "We make sure every water feature's water is moving even if imperceptibly (the pool in Wagner Park for example), we change the water daily in the nursery for the spare water plants that we grow in  buckets, and we scout for anywhere else there may be water that stands for more than a day or two after a rain storm."

Downtown in the news
Lower Manhattan arts organizations team up to face financing problems 

"Arts Groups Seek Safety in Numbers," New York Times, June 10 - In response to the difficult economy, 11 Downtown arts organizations have created an organization called Lower Manhattan Arts Leaders to make government policy makers and grant-making foundations  aware of the importance of small arts groups to neighborhood vitality. The New York Times article states that "Kevin Cunningham, the executive artistic director of 3-Legged Dog/3LD Art & Technology Center, which presents theatrical and multimedia works, was among the first to sense the seriousness of the impact as the economy began to sour last summer. Mr. Cunningham had weathered catastrophe before; 3-Legged Dog was the only arts producing organization to have its headquarters destroyed in the Sept. 11 attacks." Lower Manhattan Arts Leaders' current membership consists of 3LD; Here; the theater companies Soho Rep, the Flea Theater, Dixon Place, Access Theater and Blue Coyote Theater Group; the dance companies Dance New Amsterdam and Battery Dance Company; the independent media arts center DCTV; and the Children's Museum of the Arts.

Film: '8˝' at 92YTribeca
This iconic film is about a man who's caught in several worlds: the world of his wife, and the world of his lover; the world of his past successes as an artist, and the world of the film he's struggling to create. Director Federico Fellini takes the viewer in and out of fantasy and memory in a way that suggests that we live with one foot in the real world, and the other in the deepest recesses of our psyche, family and culture. Presented by filmmaker Jennie Livingston, who experiences the film as "intertwined with my sense of what it is to be a queer filmmaker; It's always seemed to me that our imaginative and simultaneous bridging of many worlds is what makes queer lives and queer perspectives unique and important." Part of the series Queer/Art/Film, curated by Butt Magazine contributing editor Adam Baran and filmmaker Ira Sachs. Director: Federico Fellini. 1963. 138 min. 35mm. $12. 7.30 p.m. 92YTribeca, 200 Hudson St. 212-601-1000. www.92YTribeca.org/film

Habeas Lounge Exquisite Corpus at World Financial Center
Do you knit or crochet? Come by and add a section to the scarf visitors to the lounge are assembling, inch by inch. The Habeas Lounge: Exquisite Corpus is a new take on the Exquisite Corpse (Cadavre exquis), a technique adapted by the French Surrealists from a parlor game. The Surrealists created works of art in collaboration. Part of the drawing was always covered up, and each comrade added something new without seeing the whole. One end of this particular Exquisite Corpus is similarly hidden in a specially designed box in the Lounge. You can't see how it started, but you can affect what a piece of it looks like. Come by, pick out some yarn, and add to the project in whatever way you see fit. The finished piece is something everyone worked on but no one anticipated. Weekdays through June 30. Free. 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. One New York Plaza, World Financial Center. 212-417-7000. www.worldfinancialcenter.com
