Last City Farmer Clings to Heine Tree Memory
A memoir recalls George Kurak, lifelong Valley resident. He ran a masonry business, built a new home on South Salina Street, and retired in the shop out back tending tools and stock. He cherished the Heine Tree, named for Heineken, and remembered Joy Acres Farm, danced at the old hall, and the aging pier scene. His roast may be a close memory of a changing neighborhood.

SU strike drags on as students rally support
The pattern of walkouts and protests continued as talks at Bond Schoeneck King offices, with a federal mediator present, failed to end the strike by campus service workers. Students like Kate Shaka visited the quad and Hendricks Chapel, noting disrupted classes and poor facilities. A large rally near Chancellor Shaw's residence drew hundreds from labor unions, though campus security estimated a smaller turnout.
