Their ancient opinions on the weather live in the minds of generational farmers and fishermen. As for the summer solstice, the weather on that day will be the prevailing weather of the growing season. The local radio station is old enough, connected enough, to broadcast this observation, and I’m sure many are grateful for the gesture. At the end of this long day, I sit down to take off my boots.

We Must All Hang Together

I’ll wager that most of you reading this Independence Day column do not appreciate how important John Hart was to our nation. Heck, if that name is familiar at all, it might be to readers of a certain age who know that an actor by that name played supporting roles in westerns and replaced Clayton Moore in the TV series “The Lone Ranger.” Obviously, I must explain. One of the stories I’ll never get around to telling — except here, it seems — is of the courage of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, which was issued 248 years ... by Tom Clavin

He received more than 70 percent of the vote. The 1st District includes the five East End towns, the northern half of Brookhaven, Smithtown and much of Huntington. It has historically alternated between Republican and Democratic representatives. As Judith Hope, long a sensible voice in Suffolk County (and ... by Karl Grossman
