Cutchogue News: Our Lady of Mercy’s fall fashion show
Sunshine and warmth have prevailed as this year’s harvest season comes to an end. Farmers’ children and their children’s children have returned to the farm to help their families harvest and manage the influx of visitors to our area. The Krupski family is no stranger to this blessing and more!
Brandon Lonk may not be a Krupski, but he’s worked on their farm since he was 16. An Eagle Scout and Boys’ State attendee, Brandon graduated from SUNY/Morrisville with an associate degree in agricultural science and a B.B.A. in agricultural business.
Monica and Ed Harbes, also blessed with the gift of family and agricultural land, enjoyed the presence of their daughter Evelyn, son-in-law Michael and grandchildren Alana, Josiah and Tavah, who returned to the farm to help during the harvest season.
For parents of college-age children, October represents a harvest of another kind: the pride and joy experienced during a visit to their children for parents’ weekend and the opportunity to become familiar with their children’s academic and social setting. All the best to all of you!

Daylight standard time is upon us. Once again we turn our clocks backward. This can affect your sleep, productivity, state of mind and emotion. Finding it difficult to adjust? Continue your routine and make a concerted effort to spend time outdoors, sit near windows and, if all else fails, try phototherapy.
