Shoo Away the Winter Doldrums

Garden Lovers Find Ways to Weather the Winter

Shoo Away the Winter Doldrums

Carolyn Leyboldt

 

Don’t let gray days and bare trees get you down.  Join us at the Sayville Garden Club meeting this Monday, Jan. 21st at 11am for our monthly meeting at the Sayville Methodist Church, Greene Avenue.

 

Our program will be presented by Judy Davis of the Great South Bay Audubon Society and Brookside County Park. While you wait to get back in the garden and watch for the trees to leaf out, there are still plenty of birds to remind you that all is not dormant. Our programs are free to members and guests.

 

Visitors are always welcome and we look forward to presenting many more interesting programs for our community garden lovers. Coming up in future months are Designing Your Garden for Curbside Appeal (Monday Feb. 18), Organic Gardening (Monday, March 11), Container Gardening (Monday, April 8) and our annual Spring Luncheon on May 20.  We would love to meet you!!

And so the taxpayer is once again asked to give more to an already out of control and bloatedRead More system. Every year the school districts on Long Island receive increases of millions of dollars to their budgets, and still they want to bleed the taxpayer for more. As two income families struggle to pay exorbitant tax bills, we’re asked to pay even more? We’ll here’s a novel idea, how about if the teachers union’s began demanding less? This early retirement baloney must stop, salaries should be capped, administrators and their staffs must be cut by at least eighty percent. In addition, educators and staff should have to pay for their own medical and retirement plans just as the rest of us must. Here on Long Island, families are suffering and sacrificing, and many are being forced to leave due to taxes which are out of control. It is time for educators to cease hiding behind children with threats of decreased student programs, and to make an honest and realistic observation as to why things are as bad as they are. To blame parents for not paying enough into the system to support the schools is ludicrous. The real problem lies in a system which is self serving, and run by incompetents blind to the harm they are inflicting upon our children and families.
