Clip and Crawl

After many moons, the construction fence and its black drapes came down, and people could see their beloved General Store again. I have slowed as I passed and tried my best to stare at it like a stranger, recognize it as an old friend, see the dramatic and yet gentle renovation near completion. This is not to say that many won’t lament the near-certain closing of the Hedges Lane post office. The no-frills structure and charming staff make the 11962 zip code valuable for reasons not based on land transactions. Spring began cold and with heavy, unsettled clouds.

But a lot of times, the party in power makes mistakes, upsetting people. And I think with Trump, we are in a whole different universe. “There’s lots of chaos,” he continued in a recent interview. “His administration is hell-bent at going after Social Security ... by Karl Grossman

The Last To Die

A somber 50th anniversary is to be observed at the end of this month: the end of the war in Vietnam, on April 30, 1975. That means it will also be the 50th anniversary of the last two U.S. soldiers to die in what was never actually a declared war, one that in total killed over 58,000 American military men and women. For over four decades, there was controversy over who was the first American serviceman who died in Vietnam. Richard Fitzgibbon Jr.’s death in June 1956 was deemed to have taken place before the start of the Vietnam War. ... by Tom Clavin

Legacy Threatened

Members of the Greatest Generation lived through the Depression of the 1930s, learned to cope in hard times, and took responsibility with dedication and humility. During World War II, they answered the call. Sixteen million served, including a million African Americans and 44,000 Native Americans. Women went to work in factories turning out planes, tanks and munitions. May 8, 2025, will mark the 80th anniversary of V.E. Day, the official end of World War II in Europe and the final repudiation of the horrors initiated by Adolf Hitler. Out of World War II came the Marshall Plan, which helped Europe ... 31 Mar 2025 by Staff Writer
