It’s late Friday afternoon. We’re saying goodbye today to our friend and colleague Jonathan Brown, who’s right now prepping his final All Before Five. He’s\u00a0 moving on the Colorado Public Radio, to be one of their Morning edition hosts and reporters.\u00a0 I know he’s pushing to get the show done after our farewell party,\u00a0 because he’s shouting at his computer, just through the glass from my studio. He’s given us four good years, and we’ll miss him mightily. But wish him well, of course.<\/p>\n
We’ll begin a national search for his successor ASAP.<\/p>\n
In the meantime, news goes on. Monday’s 8\u00a0 O’clock Hour includes a story about a development plan involving the village of Saranac Lake and the\u00a0Trudeau Institute that would have brought an outside\u00a0bioscience\u00a0company to the village. It’s been put on hold as the institute takes a broader\u00a0look at its future options for growth.<\/p>\n
Also Monday, Karen DeWitt reports on a statewide race that was overshadowed by everything else going on on Election Day.\u00a0 New York has a new attorney general, Democrat Eric Schneiderman has big shoes to fill. But he says he’s no Cuomo clone.<\/p>\n
We’ll reconsider the role of nature writing in shaping public opinion and spurring civic action. Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring<\/em> is generally credited with being the genesis of the modern environmental movement. Do contemporary books and magazines have as much influence?<\/p>\n And I talk with Amy Ivy about our common connection to the world outdoors…in the yard and garden.<\/p>\n Speaking of late Friday afternoon… did I mention that the Mambo Legends are in the studio down the hall?…Live on David Sommerstein’s Beat Authority!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It’s late Friday afternoon.
