	edie news centre - Groups warn of dioxin danger in New York Harbour
		New York Harbour and Newark Bay could be flooded with dioxin contamination if a dredging and blasting plan to open the area to larger ships goes ahead, a coalition of green groups has warned.
		The groups, including NRDC, Baykeeper, and Green Faith say the 10-year multi-billion dollar dredging project run by the Army Corps of Engineers and the Port Authority, in order to open the watercourses to larger ships, is on a collision course with an underwater Superfund site, for which a clean up plan had been devised.
		Such is the danger from this dioxin contamination that the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection has banned crabbing and recommended strict limits on the consumption of many types of fish in the bay.

		New Jersey-born author Dara Horn, 26, whose first novel In The Image has generated a wave of enthusiastic reviews, says one of the stories that inspired her to write the book was a sort of urban myth about Jewish immigrants who, upon reaching America, tossed their tfillin into New York harbour.
		She first heard the story from a classmate at Harvard (where she is now completing a PhD thesis in Hebrew and Yiddish literature) and later realized the story was a familiar legend to many elderly American Jews.
		Whether they’re about tfillin fished out of New York harbour or a human skull found in a junk shop, many of the tales Horn tells have to do with loss and recovery, she observed.
