Wantagh Library welcomes feathered friends

It was an exciting two days at the Wantagh Public Library, as ten chicks slowly broke free from their eggs on April 17 and 18. The feathered friends arrived just in time for spring. For the first time ever, the Wantagh Library hosted a dozen eggs, and after 21 days of incubation, the chicks slowly emerged from their shells and have been chirping ever since.

'A place you can rely on'

For as long as Peter Ruffner, 62, can remember, the Seaford Public Library has always been a place he could rely on. When Ruffner was 9 years old, his father took him to the building on Jackson Avenue. They both registered for library cards and sifted through dozens of books in the sports section.

Guarding a border far from home

William Hoehn was relaxing in his small Seaford home when he received his draft letter. "We want you!" was stamped in big letters across the envelope. It was 1966 - the height of the Vietnam War. Although the 19-year-old was prepared for the notice's arrival, he recalled recently, he wasn't prepared for what he would face when he went off to war.

Making a 'SPLASH' against trash

It was a cloudy day on June 27. At Wantagh State Park, the high tide and rough waves made it hard for smaller vessels to make it out into the Western Bays. Port Captain Gary Smith and six of his crew members, sporting rubber boots and cut-off shorts, worked hard to get their skiff away from the dock and into the bay off the Bellmore coastline.

This isn't a diatribe about guns

Dec. 14, 2013. It was nail-biting cold. The sort of cold that foreshadowed snowflakes in the coming days but still coddled them in gray-blanketed skies. Baltimore always made me feel that way: on edge, like the world was on the brink of burning up but then changed its mind last minute.

My holiday spirit? It's complicated.

There's always that pivotal moment when it's clear that the holidays have arrived.
