Road Trip
by Larry Sribnick
by Rich Weissmann
Many areas on Long Island offer a wide array of
opportunities for people to get out and enjoy the great outdoors. Whether
you are a couch potato, or a kid; a seasoned athlete or a senior citizen,
there is a place to enjoy a walk, a saunter, or a fairly serious hike within
a short drive of Bellport.
Over the years, Rich Weissmann has covered many miles walking the back trails of the
pine barrens, climbing the glacial hills that run down the spine of our
island, and skirting the shorelines of its rivers, bays and oceanfront.
His new column on Bellport.com will be a
series of articles describing the walks, saunters and hikes that almost
anyone can enjoy.

South Country Real Estate Market, Spring 2011
Traditionally,
spring is the time to start thinking about buying or selling a home. To help
you with this decision, we sat down with the three

Galligan of Swan Realty, Eileen Green of Eileen Green
Realty, and Mark Petheram of Old Purchase Properties
were kind enough to help us with this article.

Low 'n Slow
by Larry Sribnick
I
think every pilot will tell you that they yearn to fly the way it was in the
early days of aviation, “Low ‘n Slow,” hence, the name of this column.
Rather than flying at 10,000’, we’re talking about
flying at 1000’ or less and instead of 175 mph, we’re talking about, at
times, flying at 50 mph or less. My purpose will be to bring you along on
the trips I take, Low ‘n Slow, and show you parts of Long Island and the
world that you can’t see any other way.

Thoughts, Ramblings & Other
Absurdities
by Angela
Giannotti
"Welcome
to an erstwhile column. And to all those who are too old to blog and too
young to not express your feelings, this is a place where you too can
expound. I wrote a column for the Moriches Bay Tide for several years and
for Dan’s Papers for one. But that was in the early 90’s. I loved having a
column and began to hone it to a nice, neat 400 words or so."
