A major fire broke out on Dindoshi Hills, opposite Infinity IT Park in Goregaon East on Sunday at 12.14 am. The blaze had spread to around 1.5 km area of the hill and was confined to the herbs, shrubs and trees. Although the fire was extinguished at midnight itself and no injuries were reported, the environmentalists are up in arms after the incident. The land where the fire erupted falls under the eco-sensitive zone and is adjacent to Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP). Director of NGO Vanshakti, Stalin D alleged that the fire at Dindoshi Hills was not an accident or natural but was deliberately ignited to kill the vegetation near SGNP to allow the land for commercial use in the near future. The section of the land that caught fire is private land with a wall dividing it from the forest land of SGNP. Stalin on Sunday wrote to the Maharashtra Forest Department, Ministry of Environment and Forest, Mumbai suburban collector and other authorities seeking an investigation into the Dindoshi fire incident. @MahaForest @mybmc @mpcb_official @moefcc massive fire seen on Dindoshi hills . This doesn't seem to be natural or accidental. This is being done to kill the vegetation on the hills. Fire will spread to notified areas of SGNP( national park). Arrest the criminals who did this. pic.twitter.com/Rwgn3d8yjs @mybmc @MumbaiPoIice Have the Dindoshi hills been set set on fire or is it pure accident? The hills lie between Sanjay Gandhi National Park & Aarey Colony. These are the city’s green lungs. Are those in authority unaffected by the smog engulfing the city? pic.twitter.com/6pukZqLsPM Alleging that the blaze was set manually by the private developers, Stalin in his email to the authorities wrote, “The last fire at Dindoshi Hill was reported in October 2022 and we had complained about the same. Just as the forests had begun reviving, yesterday night a massive fire was set off by the persons who are in the possession of the land. M/s Ferrani Hotels, M/s DB Reality and the Nusli Wadia Trust are the entities that are responsible for complying with the inherent responsibility to protect the hill range from degradation.” Stalin said that the environmental violations on the land are well documented in the joint committee report submitted to the National Green Tribunal. He stressed that there have been incidents of tree felling and fires in the past, and FIRs have been registered against unknown persons. Speaking over the issue, an officer from the Mumbai Fire Brigade who was on the site said, “The fire had confined to the shrubs in multiple sections. It is possible that due to wind the blaze was confined to the shrubs at a distance, but the possibility of the fire ignited manually cannot be denied. As per the preliminary investigation, no person was seen on the site before the incident, however, a detailed investigation will reveal the exact cause of the fire.” The officer added that as the fire engines could not reach the spot due to uneven hilly patches, the fire was extinguished manually by beating. Demanding a detailed investigation into the incident, Stalin said, “We urge officials to undertake a detailed site inspection with environmental experts and fire investigators to ascertain the factors that have resulted in yet another fire at Dindoshi Hill.” Box- A minor fire broke out at Heera Panna Shopping Centre in Haji Ali on Sunday. The blaze had engulfed two closed shops and smoke was logged in the ground-floored shopping centre. “The fire erupted around 9.09 am and four fire engines, three jumbo tankers and an ambulance were rushed to the spot. The fire was confined to electric wirings, electric installations, clothes, wooden furniture, glass cabinets, documents, shoes, stock of perfumes, mobiles, etc. in shops no. 11 & 12 on the ground floor,” the statement by BMC said. The fire was doused at 12.52 pm and no injuries were reported. The cause of the fire is yet to be ascertained.Cordilia scores 21, Mount St. Mary's downs Fairfield 101-94

BEMIDJI — The Region 2 Arts Council Board recently awarded $6,000 fellowships to sculptor Tim Nelsen and painter Donna Alena Hrabcakova. The Artist Fellowship award is intended for dedicated artists who have created a substantial independent body of work, have received recognition for their work and whose work has been selected for publication, solo exhibitions, commissions, presentations, readings or performances, a release said. Tim Nelsen has been a sculptor and metal artist since 2018 and uses exclusively recycled materials in his work. He is a graduate of Bemidji State University with a degree in Design Technology. Nelsen has won several People's Choice Awards for his works, including "Rumblefish" in 2016, "King Norway" in 2022 and 2023, and the Judge’s Award for the sculpture "Flying V" in 2023. Nelsen's works have been displayed in sculpture walks around the region, including the Bemidji Sculpture Walk, Sioux Falls Sculpture Walk, and in Mankato, Hutchinson and more throughout the Midwest. Nelsen has also served as an executive board member on the Bemidji Sculpture Walk since 2020. "I create art for one reason; it makes me happy," Nelsen said in the release. "The materials I use and the subjects I choose all speak to me on some level. From finding sculpting materials to sketching and creating the final product, the entire process is something I enjoy. I'm continually trying to improve as an artist by building my skill set and embracing new technologies that can help me work more efficiently." Painter Donna Alena Hrabcakova is originally from Giglovce, Slovakia, and has worked for 20 years as a Clinical Art Therapist at the Red Lake middle and high schools. She has shown work in several art shows, including the Bi-annual Exhibition at the Watermark Art Center, a Showing in Chicago on the Red Line Collection and other exhibits including the Jung Haus Gallery, Short North Art District and in Giglovce, Slovakia. One of her installations on Black Lives Matter is displayed in the Columbus, Ohio State House. Hrabcakova came to Red Lake from Ohio to serve as a National Trauma Therapist following a Red Lake school shooting tragedy in 2005. Her passion is working with adolescents to help them cope with intergenerational trauma, PTSD and other issues that arise from suffering and loss. Her passion and love play into her artwork's narrative of family, love, tragedy, war and healing. Hrabcakova uses acrylics, mixed media, materials that are recycled from nature and molding pastes. Hrabcakova's goal for her fellowship is to start a whole new collection with the juxtaposition of freedom, sovereignty, diaspora and the concept of community. She will use references from Red Lake Nation, the Ukrainian invasion of Russia and her family's stories of being sent to internment camps in Presov, Slovakia, and later Auschwitz. "All art shows start with a dream, a vision and a good story," Hrabcakova said in the release. "This (fellowship project) is based on a very personal story that reaches deep inside of my soul."
On June 20, 1979, President Jimmy Carter —sporting a bushy haircut and a wide necktie—invited dignitaries and reporters onto the roof of the White House to watch the installation of thirty-two solar water-heating panels. “A generation from now,” he told them, “this solar heater can either be a curiosity, a museum piece, an example of a road not taken, or it can be just a small part of one of the greatest and most exciting adventures ever undertaken by the American people.” A generation later, one of those panels showed up in a private museum in the offices of an entrepreneur named Huang Ming, in the city of Dezhou, China. In the spring of 2010, I interviewed Ming, who was building a vast fortune by installing pretty much the same solar water heaters across the country. If you’re flying into a Chinese city, look down and you might see one of the devices on every other roof; even back then there were places where ninety-five per cent of homes sported a panel. Ming had built a truly remarkable headquarters—the so-called Sun-Moon Mansion looked like something out of “The Jetsons,” with two sweeping horseshoes of solar panels that resembled the rings of Saturn cut in half. Ming described Carter as a visionary, and shook his head a little ruefully at the path America hadn’t followed. That path—well, it’s truly painful to look back on it now, from the vantage point of an Earth where the poles are melting fast, where Africa may be losing fifteen per cent a year of its G.D.P. per capita because of the effects of warming, and where a senior climate adviser for the current President recently said that we now need “a transformation of the global economy on a size and scale that’s never occurred in human history” to “create a livable future for ourselves and our children.” Jimmy Carter, who was elected in 1976, wasn’t focussed on global warming, though advisers were beginning to warn him about it. Even without the existential impetus of climate change, though, struggling to stay politically afloat during the geopolitical crises that came with the twin oil shocks of the seventies—one caused by OPEC ’s embargo, the other largely by the Iranian Revolution—he sensed how high the stakes really were. The energy crisis, he told Americans early on, using adult language that it’s impossible to imagine an American President using today, was a reminder that “ours is the most wasteful nation on earth.” By 1979, gas-station lines were causing alarm in suburbia, and knocking the edge off his popularity. But, instead of simply drilling more oil wells (America was just a decade removed from the Santa Barbara oil spill and the first Earth Day), he treated the trouble as an opportunity. “All the legislation in the world can’t fix what is wrong with America,” he said. “Too many of us now tend to worship self-indulgence and consumption.” It was time to act on the realization that “owning things and consuming things does not satisfy our longing for meaning . . . that piling up material goods cannot fill the emptiness of lives which have no confidence or purpose.” That world view—the very thing Carter has been lauded for in retrospect, amid images of him building houses for the poor, teaching Sunday school, and holding hands with Rosalynn, his beloved wife of seventy-seven years, in the same modest house in which they lived for decades, until her death, in November—was less popular politically. Not unpopular: with a few weeks to go until the 1980 election, he was still well ahead in the polls, before a late surge from Ronald Reagan ended his political career. But not popular enough: that election was the hinge point in our national political life, when we turned our back on the idea of America as a group project that we’d been pursuing since F.D.R. , and instead embraced the vision that government was the problem, that markets took care of all ills, that our job was to look after our own individual selves. Reagan had no qualms about drilling everywhere: the price of gas dropped, cars turned into S.U.V.s, and we started driving the Earth toward the edge of the cliff. It wasn’t just noble sentiments that Carter offered in the leadup to the 1980 election, however. In fact, in the wake of the oil shocks, his main policy proposal was for solar power. His main domestic-policy adviser, Stuart Eizenstat, told him that “a strong solar message and program will be important in trying to counter the hopelessness which polls are showing the public feels about energy. . . . I’m quite convinced Congress and the American people want a Manhattan-type project on alternative energy development.” Carter agreed and started proposing measures designed to make sure that, by the year 2000, a fifth of the country’s energy would come from solar power. He called for spending a hundred million dollars in fiscal year 1980 to create a solar bank. He asked for additional hundreds of millions to fund solar projects and research, and offered a billion dollars in tax credits to homeowners who wanted to put panels on their roofs or install wind-energy systems. He declared May 3, 1978, to be Sun Day, and delivered a speech (in a driving rain—he was characteristically unlucky) from a federal solar-research facility in Golden, Colorado. “The question is no longer whether solar energy works,” he said. “We know it works. The only question is how to cut costs so that solar power can be used more widely and so that it will set a cap on rising oil prices.” He continued, “Nobody can embargo sunlight. No cartel controls the sun. Its energy will not run out. It will not pollute the air. It will not poison our waters. It’s free from stench and smog. The sun’s power needs only to be collected, stored, and used.” Carter was correct. Had we embarked on an enormous project of solar research then and there, we could have cut the costs of renewable energy far faster than we did. There was no single technological breakthrough that finally lowered the cost of solar power below that of fossil fuel in the past decade, just a long series of iterative improvements that could have come much faster had we worked with the vigor of, say, the Manhattan Project. Instead, Reagan immediately cut the budget for solar research by eighty-five per cent and did away with the tax credit for solar panels, decimating the infant industry. His national-security adviser, Richard Allen, told Reagan about a book denigrating solar energy, whose author had claimed that it was “little more than a continuation of the political wars of a decade ago by other means. . . . Where salvation was once to be gotten from the Revolution, now it will come from everyone’s best friend, that great and simplistic cure of all energy ills, the sun.” The culture war against clean energy had begun. And the solar panels on the White House came down. According to the Washington Post , the founder of the company that installed the panels said that Donald T. Regan, Reagan’s chief of staff, called them a “joke.” They rested for a while in a federal warehouse in Virginia, but most were eventually rescued by a small, environmentally minded school in rural Maine, Unity College, where for many years they supplied hot water to the cafeteria. That’s where I found them in 2010; the college handed over one of them, and with three Unity students and a professor I drove south to Washington, D.C., intending to give it to the Obama Administration. (It was also Unity that gave the panel to Ming; he accepted it on behalf of the Chinese people.) It was a splendid road trip: with the group 350.org (which I co-founded), we held rallies along the way, in Boston, New York, and Baltimore, and at each stop we used gallons of water to show that after three decades the panel still worked fine. Our hope was that, if President Barack Obama put it back on the roof, it would mark a symbolic closing of the circle, and would refire interest in the technology. But it turned out the Administration wasn’t interested—a trio of what the Times Green blog called “midlevel White House officials” met with our delegation in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, and refused to accept the gift. They wouldn’t really explain why, which left the students in tears and me with steam coming unproductively out of my ears. Looking back, though, it’s clear why Obama at that moment did not want much to do with anything so closely associated with Carter. Obama was a deep student of political history, and he knew far better than most how crucial that 1980 election had been; the country had chosen to head in a new direction, and that direction still held, though he was doing all he could to soften its edges and sand its corners. (In 2014, his Administration did, in fact, install solar panels on the White House.) Here’s how he put it a few years later, in perhaps the best summation of the past forty years of our political life: “Through Clinton and even through how I thought about these issueswhen I first came into office, I think there was a residualwillingness to accept the political constraints that we’d inheritedfrom the post-Reagan era—that you had to be careful about being toobold on some of these issues. And probably there was an embrace ofmarket solutions to a whole host of problems that wasn’t entirelyjustified.” Only recently, in the Biden Administration, has a President really tried to shrug off that embrace, and with some success. Joe Biden—who was the first senator to endorse Jimmy Carter in his 1976 run for the White House—tried to throw the weight of the federal government behind clean energy, seeking to get us back to work on that group project of building a working society and a working planet. He’s opened the plants and cut the ribbons that Jimmy Carter might have opened and cut in his second term. That we waited forty years means that our planet will be, at the very least, deeply damaged. But Biden’s effort was by far the greatest tribute anyone could pay to the thirty-ninth President. ♦ New Yorker Favorites The best performances of 2024. A professor claimed to be Native American.
