REVERING REVOLUTION WITH REVELRY IN SEA CLIFF
|
|
July 5, 2017 -- As had been done at village greens, town squares and in public halls 241 years ago, residents of Sea Cliff and surrounding communities reveled in revolution this past Tuesday morning assembling at the John Burns Village Green for a public reading of the Declaration of Independence.
Sponsored by the Sea Cliff Civic Association, and presided over by its President Ann DiPietro, the celebration of the nation's birthday was truly a community affair with villagers of all ages, some in Revolutionary War era garb and almost all in red white or blue, getting into the act. Mayor Ed Lieberman rang in Tuesday's proceedings with thirteen tolls of Sea Cliff's Liberty Bell harking back to Philadelphians being summoned by the ringing of their own bell of the same name to the first public reading of the Declaration of Independence. Then in a solemn procession led by 4th of July Committee member Carol Vogt and fifer Charlotte Marchioli and drummer Ruben Shonick, Sea Cliff Boy Scout Troop #43 presented the Colors, and the assemblage recited the pledge of allegiance before Cathy Virgilio's powerful and moving rendition of the Star Spangled Banner.

ANT ARMAGEDDON - COMING SOON
THE GARDEN'S EDGE
DONNA KIANKA Winter’s Edge Micro Farm, Sea Cliff, N.Y. By Donna Kianka I am tolerate of almost all living things but…ants. The ants on my property have jaws the size of a T-Rex and are not afraid to use them. So they bite and bite hard. This year I decided to stage Ant Armageddon. I was particularly interested in finding out if I could use any old household products which are not toxic to the environment and could reduce the clutter in my home. Here are the results of my campaign: |
