Thomas Rushmore (died c.1682), a Quaker, arrived on Long Island from Wales in 1658. He joined four Englishman and three Dutchmen in making an alliance for land with five Long Island Native American tribes. He married Martha Hicks in Hempstead, N.Y., in 1659 and started a dairy farm near the intersection of Old Westbury Road and Whitney Lane in Old Westbury, N.Y. Five subsequent generations of Rushmores went on to run the farm at this location. They intermarried with members of some of Long Island’s most notable families, including the Townsend, Hicks, Titus, Valentine, Post, Willets, and Willits families. When the Long Island Rail Road branched out to Oyster Bay, N.Y., the Rushmores decided to sell the Old Westbury farm and buy land closer to the railroad. (This would make it easier for them to ship their product to market.) In 1845, Thomas Rushmore (1799-1878) and Jane (Valentine) Rushmore (1806-1896) bought 150 acres of land in Roslyn, N.Y.

    The Long Island Native & Black History UPDATE Volume 1, Number 1 July 22 – 29, 2006 [Reprint] Jul 25, 2006 On NY1 Now: News All Morn (http://www.ny1.com/ny1/OnTheAir/program_guide.jsp) Memorial To Be Built At African, Native American Burial Ground In Queens By Roger Clark A Queens’s playground is being transformed, as the city pays homage to the ancestors of both African and Native Americans. NY1's Roger Clark has more in the following report. Across the street from the Flushing cemetery is the final resting place for 1,000 people. But there are no headstones or landscaping - it's a playground built over a graveyard in the 1930's by the city. “It was inconceivable that you would make a playground out of a cemetery,” says activist Mandingo Tshaka of Bayside. “I’ve never heard of such a thing.” Beneath the asphalt is the burial place of mostly African and Native Americans buried in a potter's field from the 19th century. Now, a 15-year campaign to make the site a memorial park by Tshaka, who has ancestors buried in the field, is becoming a reality. “We're going to have lots of planting, benches, pathways, a new playground, [and] I think it’s going to be a wonderful amenity for the neighborhood," says Angelyn Chandler of the Parks Department. The 3.5-acre site will be surrounded by iron fencing, and there will also be a memorial to those buried there. Getting to this point wasn't easy because some residents weren't happy about losing a playground.

  • New York's Hempstead Harbor, Section 319 Success Story
    Section 319 NONPOINT SOURCE PROGRAM SUCCESS STORY Multifaceted Program Restores NewShellfish Harvesting inYork Northern Hempstead Harbor Waterbody Improved Elevated fecal coliform (FC) bacteria levels from runoff and other sources caused New York’s northern Hempstead Harbor to exceed the FC water quality standard for shellfish harvesting. As a result, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) added the northern segment of Hempstead Harbor to the state’s 1998 Clean Water Act (CWA) section 303(d) list of impaired waters because of pathogens. A multifaceted effort by the DEC, Nassau County and munici- palities adjacent to the harbor reduced FC pollutant sources and led to the restoration of northern Hempstead Harbor. In June 2011, after having been closed for more than 40 years, the northern segment of Hempstead Harbor was reopened for shellfishing. DEC proposes to remove this segment of the harbor from the state’s list of impaired waters in 2012. Problem Coalition to Save Hempstead Harbor Photo by Carol DiPaolo, Hempstead Harbor is an estuarine embayment off the Long Island Sound in Nassau County, New York (Figure 1). A shellfish harvest restriction was placed on the harbor in 1966 because of water quality concerns. Data collected in the mid-1990s showed elevated pathogen levels that prevented the harbor from meeting its shellfishing, primary contact recreation and fish consumption uses. As a result, DEC added the northern segment of the harbor (covering 2,520 acres) to the state’s 1998 impaired waters list. Nonpoint sources of pollution including stormwater runoff, boater waste, waterfowl, and failing on-site disposal systems were suspected of being the primary problem, with wastewater discharges also contributing.
