riding 4-wheelers up the slopes of sand dunes and down rocky forest trails; or sitting in lawn chairs in the backyard under her willow tree or around the outdoor stove talking about everything and nothing with the people who love her.  as Sherri found that she could no longer be the Little Red Hen and “do it all,” she discovered just how many lives she had impacted and ward members past and present rallied around her to keep up the garden The love she poured out into her communities all her life was returned a thousandfold LaDue and Roanna Scovill;

distinct pleasure of meeting Izzie when we visited Elon last fall Her enthusiasm and drive were extremely special,” said Mike Brocato “Izzie impressed us as having the right demeanor and temperament for a special education teacher and we felt that if Joey would have had her as a teacher when he was in school Crowley knew she was receiving a scholarship but didn’t know she’d get the

containership Quetzal has successfully begun its inaugural commercial voyage opening the company’s next era of faster frequent ocean shipping with a new class of vessels for the U.S. Central America and the Dominican Republic With capacity for up to 1,400 20-foot container equivalent units (TEUs), Quetzal and its three forthcoming sister Avance-class ships will provide more cargo capacity while using lower-emissions liquefied natural gas (LNG) for fuel according to a statement from Jacksonville Fla.-based Crowley announcing the ship’s maiden voyage Quetzal and its sisterships were specifically designed to accommodate a variety of container sizes including 300 refrigerated container unit plugs The Avance class — pronounced in Spanish “ah-bahn-seh” with the English meaning of advance — is designed to quickly transport perishable goods like food and pharmaceuticals Quetzal initiated service on April 11-12 at Port of Santo Tomás Named to honor Central American culture and communities are all expected to enter service in 2025 from owner Eastern Pacific Shipping operating under long-term charters to Crowley.  “Quetzal and the Avance-class ships represent the next generation of Crowley’s innovation and leadership in supply chain solutions for international shipping in the Caribbean Basin,” said Tom Crowley “The vessels provide frequent service and greater capabilities to deliver cargo at peak timing while carrying forward Crowley’s high operational standards With the company’s decades of service in Central America and the Dominican Republic the

advancing LNG as a solution in the maritime industry’s energy transition Crowley’s Avance-class ships feature high-pressure ME-GI engines by MAN Energy Solutions which reduce methane slippage to negligible levels and make these vessels the most environmentally efficient in their category LNG itself lowers vessel greenhouse gas emissions while eliminating particulate matter compared with conventional diesel fuel.  Become a WorkBoat+ Member This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks The action you just performed triggered the security solution There

Kentucky Enquirer from 1998 to 2003 “Patrick was the absolute energy of the room even in a very energetic room,’’ Urch said She remembered how Crowley threw himself into his work the morning of 9/11 working the phones and gathering reaction from Kentucky political figures as the images of terrorism were unfolding on the newsroom’s TV on the phone as the senator was being evacuated from the Capitol through a window because no one knew if the Capitol would be the next target of the terrorists “It was really gripping stuff,’’ Urch said "Only Patrick could have pulled that off." after already having coffee with about 16 different people and he would immediately jump on the phone calling sources,” she said I was the Ohio politics reporter for the Enquirer while Patrick worked the other side of the river often at the family bar in Mount Adams — Crowley’s Highland House former Cincinnati Council member David Crowley Patrick and a passel of Crowley cousins have owned the Irish bar where the stout still flows freely Funeral arrangements for Patrick are still pending But I would be shocked if there were not one of hell of a wake at Crowley’s in Mount Adams We covered four presidential nominating conventions together — 1996 with the Republicans meeting in San Diego and the Democrats in Chicago; and 2000 in Los Angeles with the Democrats and Philadelphia with the Republicans Here’s how scrupulously honest Patrick Crowley was: I would tape a conversation with Maryanne Zeleznik — now my boss at WVXU Cincinnati time on the prior day’s convention news Pacific Time to take Maryanne’s call — dog-tired as I was from working since 6 a.m Once in San Diego — Crowley’s first convention — I recorded with Maryanne and settled in to catch about four hours of sleep before I had to crank it up again I answered with a string of obscenities that turned the air in my room blue Nobody at the Enquirer gives a rat’s ass if you watch a movie in your room thinking about this guy sitting up all night worrying about whether it was ethical for him to make the Enquirer pay for his movie To his friends and to those he didn’t know right after word had spread about Patrick’s passing Cincinnati Council member Mark Jeffreys posted a wonderful photo of himself with Crowley at the 37th annual Christmas dinner for the needy and the lonely at the Northern Kentucky Convention Center They were both volunteering for the event — and for Crowley it was the 15th Christmas in a row where he had worked at the dinner “A gentle and giving soul,” Jeffreys wrote now the executive editor of the Lexington Herald-Leader was one of the last of our Enquirer circle to talk with Pat Green called him a few weeks ago to talk about a Kentucky story the Herald-Leader is working on; Crowley had some good political sources to pass on and some useful advice And Crowley invited him to come to Cincinnati for steak dinner at Jeff Ruby’s authentic and genuinely caring angel on Saturday.” a new arrival in heaven whose first question for St I found out about my old friend’s death Saturday afternoon I had just left a matinee at Mariemont Theatre and turned my phone on The first thing I saw was a text message from Sherri Crowley and thinking about the prospect of a world without Patrick Crowley in it I had done more than my share of Crowley obituaries for the Enquirer — his mother Let’s pretend for a minute that you moved to Williamsburg about twenty years ago Brooklyn’s gentrification was in full swing you played in a noise band that once opened for an Animal Collective side project where you now make equitable cheddar cheese where you run an inn informed by the concept of radical hospitality you haven’t been back to the neighborhood since There’s the transformation of Kent Avenue into a glass canyon (Didn’t you once see TV on the Radio over there by the river?) The swarms of Murray Hill types in puffer vests and quarter-zips The disappearance of that Puerto Rican place you went to three times but told everyone was your absolute favorite And then: What’s with all these Australian restaurants and cafés brekkie & vibes,” sausage rolls and pavlova “kangaroo tucker” and “early birdies cockys” there were not a lot of Australians in New York Most came over to work for international companies Some met American girls and brought them back home to Melbourne or Brisbane blessing their kids with American passports plying unsuspecting Americans with bottles of Victoria Bitter and meat pies opened the restaurant Eight Mile Creek on Mulberry Street in 1998 Nick Mathers and Lincoln Pilcher opened Ruby’s a hot spot on Mulberry that made one Australian journalist feel as if she’d “been transported back home to Sydney.” That was because were also hanging out at Café Gitane in the aughts The French Moroccan restaurant—sometimes credited with popularizing aesthetically pleasing avocado toast in the United States—became a major Australian point of reference “There was a little bit of a pilgrimage vibe,” says Brooklyn-raised Ken Addington who was the executive chef at Eight Mile Creek One person I interviewed even remembered the restaurant being featured in the in-flight magazine of Qantas Airways The year 2003 wasn’t just when an Australian beachhead was established in downtown Manhattan It was also when the United States invaded Iraq The war was not popular with many of our allies who had their heads screwed on right for once and told President George W He knew he could take over Madison Avenue and get Americans hooked on flat whites so he agreed to join the U.S.-led coalition sending around two thousand troops to Iraq along with the United States-Australia Free Trade Agreement is widely believed to have led to the creation of the E-3 visa It was signed into law in 2005 as part of an appropriations bill for the Global War on Terror and offered Australians an easier path to working in the United States “The blood visa,” as one Australian in New York put it to me “was our little treat.” Other members of the coalition—Bulgaria 10,500 of these visas are made available exclusively to Australians so long as they have a job offer and a specialized skill they claim they’re using here “A lot of immigration attorneys and advocates are trying to add another nationality to the list so as not to waste the unused visas.” While the E-3 is a non-immigrant visa that doesn’t provide a path to citizenship it lasts for two years and can theoretically be renewed indefinitely To give you a sense of the program’s perks the similar H-1 B visa has a cap of 85,000 for applicants from all foreign countries—nearly 800,000 people applied for it in fiscal year 2024—and a maximum stay of six years That visa does have its advantages: unlike the E-3 but “the demand far outweighs the supply.” By contrast met (hence the repeated efforts to make them available to the Irish as well) and Australians can apply any time of the year It took a while for the effects of the E-3 visa to really be noticed by New Yorkers The influx was perhaps first documented in a 2007 article in the Melbourne newspaper The Age which noted the meat pies for sale at the East Village’s Tuck Shop and described Park Slope as “a gentrifying suburb newly discovered by professionals and young families.” In 2012 the Sydney Morning Herald declared one made-up neighborhood because there were ten Australian-owned art galleries It wasn’t until a couple years later that local outlet Gothamist finally asked the question now on every New Yorker’s mind: Where were all these blokes coming from The city’s Australian diaspora had ballooned from an estimated 5,537 in 2005 to 20,000 by 2011 They were stealing all of our creative director jobs while denigrating the city’s coffee scene They had no respect for the Latin lunch counter Nolita had a legitimate claim to being the Australian neighborhood of choice concrete city like New York.” As Australians will tell you and there’s no place quite as crazy and dense as Manhattan the E-3 visa was not the only consequential city-transforming piece of legislation that was passed in 2005 the New York City Council approved the rezoning of the Williamsburg waterfront changes which were blasted at the time for bearing “little resemblance to the community plans” previously put forward Instead of new low- and mid-rise housing that would be affordable for Williamsburg’s existing tenants the rezoning allowed for the construction of twenty-story luxury towers leading to the accelerated transformation of the neighborhood I genuinely don’t feel like I’m in New York.” As the story of Williamsburg’s gentrification goes the artists who had been displacing the neighborhood’s longtime residents were themselves soon displaced by more well-heeled newcomers (The Latino population declined from 34.1 percent in 2000 to 24.8 percent in 2022 while the percentage of residents making more than $250,000 annually increased from 1.6 percent to 16.5 percent over a similar period.) Those newcomers included Australians They were less burdened by college debt than their American peers Some came for career opportunities; others just because they wanted to be in the center of the world Brooklyn was cemented as a global signifier of culture and taste the destination for small-batch everything Williamsburg in particular was already over for the starving artists having evolved from a place you moved seeking cheap rent into the place you moved if you wanted to be cool hipsters were lamenting to the Times that the neighborhood’s end was imminent Some even reported moving back to Manhattan because the rent was becoming comparable and it was widely perceived as a place where things were happening especially by those living outside of New York Vice was at the peak of its relevance and would soon cannibalize what remained of the neighborhood’s DIY institutions kicking the latest cycle of counterculture’s commodification into high gear These were the days of the French allegedly saying “très Brooklyn” to mean something was cool when trendy neighborhoods in other cities were designated “the Williamsburg of The neighborhood’s rise as an object of public fascination dovetailed with the advent of social media believes played a role in ushering in Williamsburg’s Australian Moment Instagram was purchased by Facebook in 2012 Her friends back home were able to see her day-to-day in Brooklyn online the platform provided us then-young members of New York’s creative class with a new outlet for our primary interest: telling other people we were having a better time than them it looks like so much fun,’” Herron recalls “People were seeing a bunch of people over here on Instagram and it wasn’t difficult to come as an Australian the influence of Heath Ledger also played a role Many may have first heard about Williamsburg through Five Leaves where Ledger was going to be a partner before he died in 2008 with former Eight Mile Creek chef Ken Addington in the kitchen The one Australian everyone outside of Australia knew per his friend and local tattoo artist Scott Campbell “the Williamsburg dude”—such a neighborhood fixture that people stopped caring Ledger’s life was a picture of Brooklyn bohemia and aspirational for many who moved to the neighborhood to be around artists but it influenced a lot of Australians to check out Williamsburg,” says Andrew Cenita who was until recently the general manager of the café and bar Bright Side “When I came to NYC for my twenty-first birthday I gotta check that place out because of Heath Ledger.’” Sam Hillman a photographer and writer who has lived in Brooklyn since 2014 “I remember coming here in 2011 with my mom but we all knew to go there because of Heath Ledger,” she says but no one was calling it a “Noosa Heads-style bistro.” Truthfully there was a market opportunity for all of the neighborhood’s new antipodean arrivals Australians like to go outside; they wake up early; they enjoy fresh breakfasts famous breakfast standards—bagels and lox; rice roll carts; bodega bacon and cheeses—but the city is oriented toward the night and freshness is not a word associated with our first foods enterprising Australians began opening up more recognizably Australian places mostly Melbourne-inspired cafés serving flat whites and avo toast It seemed that many were convinced they had invented the concept of eating food with coffee as well as the idea that coffee should be good when New York’s indigenous styles of caffeination—the burnt Italian American espresso and the diner drip—were under attack by coffee nerds: Nordic cafés with roasts as light as lemonade (If they were bummed about the quality of coffee in the city many were excited by the price and relative quality of another stimulant cocaine being notoriously expensive down under due to Australia’s distance from important production centers.) the Australian coffee brand Toby’s Estate opened a big franchised café on Williamsburg’s North 6th Street (it was later rebranded as Partners) Luke Woodard and Ryan De Remer opened the café Sweatshop (now just Shop) on Metropolitan Avenue they served “brekkie” and jaffles—a type of toasted sandwich—prepared by an almost entirely Australian staff At Sweatshop you can even order a ‘Toorak’ or a ‘Templestowe’ jaffle Seriously,” one Aussie journalist later wrote of the café Woodard would advertise barista positions on a Facebook group called Australians in New York which remains an active source of information for recent and aspiring arrivals and he made a point of hiring people from back home “Someone coming to an Aussie café and getting served by someone who is not Aussie—it’s like going to a French restaurant and there aren’t any French people working,” he says The first proper Melbourne-style café in the neighborhood Sweatshop was a networking space for members of the Australian diaspora Aussies gravitated to the café because of its familiarity and abundance of compatriots “We started getting a lot of other Australians coming through because it was exactly what they wanted,” Woodard says and several of the café’s employees confirm that was the case “I think the way a lot of Australians know each other is through Sweatshop who got connected to other emigres from Sydney Was everyone moving to the neighborhood at the time Australian the Australian jewelry designer Scosha Woolridge opened a studio and store on Grand Street Awoke Vintage relocated to the neighborhood from Perth redefining “bicoastal,” while the Greenpoint rooftop bar Northern Territory was started by Australian bartender Jamie Toll There were Australians on every single block,” Hillman says Woodard agrees: “It was definitely lush.” A friend of mine who worked at the bar The Woods between 2015 and 2016 described the crowd as “dominated by Australians,” as well as “people from Vice and biracial couples.” The editor of this very story told me she discovered Williamsburg’s Australian underbelly through her cousin who lived off of Bedford Avenue in these years and was plugged in with a local crew it seemed like whole social circles had been ported over But even when they don’t share this kind of personal history Australians move in packs and often stick to their own (It should be noted that these Australians do experience relatively little friction integrating into American culture.) “They’re like teenagers They’re super excited about themselves,” Addington says “We have Australian friends who don’t really have non-Australian friends.” Even Aussies tend to agree ‘Why do all Australians know each other?’ And I’ve said When I asked some of my sources whether Australians think about how their presence in New York is intrinsically tied to the Iraq War One Aussie said that people turn a blind eye—they know A non-Australian observer of the scene told me he believes the visa is seen positively as “part of their closeness with America.” But not everyone who came over to Brooklyn—or even most—intended to become “Australian American.” Living in the States can be a bit of an extended vacation for many Australians Few are necessarily committed to staying long-term some of the Australians from the cohort of earlier arrivals had already said goodbye to New York even as their numbers overall swelled to thirty thousand around the city especially those employed in the service industry with nothing to do and rents they couldn’t afford “A fuck-ton of people moved back in 2020,” says Cenita “It was like a full reset.” Have the Australians moved on from Williamsburg who has hung on unlike most of his friends from back home believes it was a moment in time that has since passed He doesn’t see a new wave of Aussies moving into this part of Brooklyn Twenty years on from the creation of the E-3 visa approvals are up again after dropping significantly in 2020 and 2021 Some things seem to have hardly changed in that time: with its unconditional support for Israel’s assault on Gaza the United States is wrapped up in yet another disastrous conflict in the Middle East But it’s unlikely we’re on the cusp of creating any new pathways to immigration While there’s uncertainty around what Donald Trump’s immigration policy will look like this time around his campaign promise of mass deportations suggests a major crackdown is coming even if he has reportedly expressed his desire for more immigrants from countries like Denmark The Aussies washing up on the shores of New York now arrive to a different city than the one that greeted their predecessors Williamsburg has become unrecognizable to the people who moved there when it was becoming unrecognizable to the people who grew up there Grand Street’s Toñita’s advertises itself as the neighborhood’s “longest and last Latino social club remaining,” while the blocks around it resemble nothing so much as an outdoor mall two-story Hermès flagship store is going up on North 6th “I never really cared about shit in Williamsburg,” a friend from neighboring Bushwick told me where I shared a few rounds with some Australian holdouts at the Grand Street bar Iona (This being a Scottish-slash-Irish establishment the very people trying to move in on their precious E-3s.) While my friend Johnny has admitted that the neighborhood is basically a glorified campus village for overpaid software engineers and rich entitled kids with fluffy white dogs he made his position clear: “You cannot attribute the downfall of Williamsburg to Australians.” In a media environment that tolerates tail-chasing The Baffler is a rare publication willing to shake the pundit class free of their own worst impulses But running a charitable organization of this magnitude requires serious dough and subscriptions only cover a fraction of our costs we rely on the good will of generous readers like you So if you like the article you just read—or hate it so you can ridicule us online for years to come—please consider making a one-time donation to The Baffler Chris Crowley is a writer for New York magazine’s Grub Street Bucket Hat / $30
