On the big steamer, excursionists looked up at the towering funnels. They were primarily painted red, but, above that there was a white band with blue stars on it.
It was the Fourth of July – 100 years ago, in 1907.
The Fourth of July is often referred to as the official start of the summer vacation season.
But for those who work in restaurants, retail, or at the local marina, summer is hardly a vacation.
Players are lined up along basepaths standing at attention as the National Anthem is played, while fans in the bleachers take off their caps and place them over their hearts.
"Play ball," shouts the umpire after the anthem is over. Moments later, the sound from the crack of a bat rings across the Elmwood Township ball [...]
July 4th means more to Lonette Morley of Northport than enjoying barbecues or fireworks.
It’s a day to remember those who risked it all to stand up to the British so that we might have freedom.
