Sunsets and Soil

Not too long after I began farming, I also began writing these weekly columns. While there is a tradition of farmer/writers, the two professions don’t marry, and so if you want to do both, you’d better decide that ONE of them is a hobby. The day I chose to make writing a hobby and farming the full-time job, my brother and I were moving irrigation in the potatoes off Daniels Lane. We had 350 acres to get over, and rain was nowhere in the forecast. It was a Sunday, and I had a Monday deadline. My father arrived at the ... by Marilee Foster

Fish Tales

When I retired from teaching, the Ponquogue Bridge became a fixture in my daily exercise. It was also my muse. During my walks, I stopped my brain chatter, opened my senses and observed.

Now, I am trying to get back into the habit of walking the bridge, which ends with a stroll ... by Denise Gray Meehan

Zeldin Under Fire

As a Suffolk County resident, Lee Zeldin is a rarity, as a high official in a U.S. government administration. A Google search requesting the names of Suffolk County residents in appointed positions in the current and recent federal administrations is topped by Zeldin’s but goes no further with other appointees. Zeldin, in his seven months as administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, a position to which he was appointed by President Donald Trump, has been facing strong criticism. Democratic members of the U.S. Congress have crossed swords with him, environmental organizations have been greatly critical of what he has ... by Karl Grossman
