No Fooling

A joke can be a story with a punchline. It can be a ruse or a prank. In years past, when I have written April Fool’s Day columns, the editor has sent me a note saying he’s added the line, “Happy April Fool’s Day,” because it’s not necessarily clear that my column is a joke. But that was, of course, part of my point. This year, I had planned to write about how our village has made it illegal to use leaf blowers. What economists said would be detrimental to the economy of men who make a living with those ... 28 Mar 2023 by Marilee Foster

More Murder, She Wrote

I have been friends with Randye Lordon for a number of years, and for most of them she has not had a book published. That was a shame, because I was a fan of the Sydney Sloane series of mysteries. If you’re not familiar with them (your loss), the reluctant but plucky detective protagonist first appeared in 1993 in the novel “Brotherly Love.” That was followed by six more murder mysteries, through “Son of a Gun” in 2005. Then, Sloane, previously never at a loss for words, especially a wisecrack, went silent. A mystery series character is like a shark ... by Tom Clavin

So Many Questions

There will be new faces on the Suffolk County Legislature next year — and, if he is elected in November, a familiar face: Steven Englebright of Setauket, who was a leading environmental champion on the county’s governing panel from 1983 until his election to the State Assembly in 1992. However, Democrat Englebright, after 30 years in the Assembly, in which he continued on the state level as an environmental leader, including as chair of the Assembly’s Environmental Conservation Committee, lost his Assembly seat in an upset last year to Republican Ed Flood, a lawyer from Port Jefferson. Still, at 76, ... by Karl Grossman

Between True Seasons

Wind comes at a steady clip, and the killdeer position themselves to endure it. They dot the headland, each separately nestled on the leeward side of a grass clump or field stubble. Their white breasts give them away. Out of the wind, soaking up the sun, small bodies find ample shelter in a scrape of earth. The killdeer will be with us all season now. They spend early spring on the open fields. They follow the plow and the planter. Anyone who has spent much time operating a farm tractor knows this bird will get precariously close to your front ... 21 Mar 2023 by Marilee Foster
