If April is the cruelest month, then what of May? With her migratory birds and dotted landscape, she’ll start the day with a harsh wind and finish it with just a trace of a summer breeze. She promises you. May would not be the kindest month, as she lays waste to the daffodil and tulip. Goodbye, pansy, unless you’ve found the shade.

On the legislature he charted an independent course; indeed, informed independence has been a hallmark of Mr. Schaffer’s route in ... by Karl Grossman
By the time I figure out where the nest is, she’s been there for weeks. Killdeer are masters of invisibility, and when that fails them, they know how to distract with false displays of injury and distress. The birds set up house directly on the ground, making them apparently vulnerable. And you might think, “Stupid bird.” The killdeer, like all birds, are the dinosaurs in our midst. They have evolved and adapted over millions of years, and each one of them is the product of a near-perfected genetic solution to a changed and changing environment. Sure, there seems nothing particularly ... 28 Apr 2021 by Marilee Foster
Suffolk Community College President Named The State University of New York Board of Trustees last week appointed Dr. Edward Bonahue as president of Suffolk County Community College. “SUNY Suffolk is the largest community college in our system, serving more than 22,000 students with a high-quality and affordable education to jump start careers or provide the launching pad for further degrees, and we are pleased to have Dr. Bonahue join the SUNY family to lead this multi-campus college,” SUNY Chancellor Jim Malatras said. “We thank Interim President Lou Petrizzo for making sure our students could succeed in their studies during this ... 27 Apr 2021 by My27east
