The 5103

Tractors are like us: Each has a personality, a skill set, a history and a plausible future. Sometimes they earn a nickname, like Old Faithful or Slim, names bestowed, respectively, on a 1970 hydrostatic International Harvester and a 1972 highcrop Ford. But The 5103, has no name but her original number. She is a jack-of-all-trades kind of tractor, wide and rather unattractive, with the heavy armature of a bucket attachment.

New Battery Rules

The Suffolk County Legislature this month unanimously approved a measure “to add a certification requirement to the sale of lithium-ion storage batteries for electric-assist bicycles and other powered mobility devices.” The certification that their electrical systems are safe would need to come from an “NTRL” (National Testing Recognized Laboratory) of the federal government’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration, or from “UL” (Underwriters Laboratories), or by “such other safety standard … established by rule in consultation with the fire department.” The author of the bill is Legislator Dominick Thorne of Patchogue, who, for nearly 30 years, has been active in fire ... 24 Jun 2024 by Karl Grossman

Heartfelt Greetings

With Father’s Day, graduations, weddings and birthdays, June must be a banner month for Hallmark and other greeting card companies. Although the selection now is wider and more diverse, I still find it difficult and time consuming to find the perfect card. It’s tough to give graduation cards that say, “You did it!” Why not just add, “— finally”? Or ones that proclaim, “The world is yours!”? Probably not. The wallet cards that hold cash or a check are often the best option, and the most popular with the grads, who don’t read the card anyway. Wedding cards are either ... by Denise Gray Meehan

Guild Hall has appointed Lincoln Palsgrove IV and Monica Tessler to its Board of Trustees.
