Long Island Press celebrates
Biden congratulates T&T on
its independence anniversary
its bicentennial By Nelson A. King
By Timothy Bolger
Two hundred years ago, the
very first edition of The Long
Island Farmer, a weekly publication
that later changed its name
several times to the Long Island
Press, rolled off the presses to
become essential reading.
Henry C. Sleight, a Sag Harbor
resident who served in the
War of 1812, founded the paper
in Jamaica, Queens, kicking
off a long and proud legacy of
chronicling the Island’s historic
moments, and becoming part
of the fabric of the region along
the way.
“Fear no man and do justice
to all men,” was the paper’s
motto years later during the
Civil War.
The newspaper’s founding
predates some of the region’s
fundamental institutions, such
as the Long Island Rail Road
and the opening of the Brooklyn
Bridge — both of which the
paper covered at the time.
A lot has changed since then.
When the Farmer was founded
in 1821, James Monroe, the
nation’s fifth president,
was beginning
his second
term in the White
House. Spain had
just ceded Florida
to the United
States. Missouri
became the 24th
state.
Since the
paper’s founding,
the population of
LI has grown from
56,978 — slightly more than
the Village of Hempstead today
— to 7.6 million, or 2.8 million
for those who only consider
the Island to be Nassau
and Suffolk counties, and not
Queens or Brooklyn. As the
population grew with expansions
of the LIRR, construction
of additional East River crossings
and, after World War II, the
development of America’s first
modern suburb, in Levittown,
the Press’ coverage followed its
readers east.
At its peak, the Press had
a circulation of more than
Caribbean L 8 ife, SEPTEMBER 3-9, 2021
445,000 in 1969. Many a Baby
Boomer shares fond memories
of delivering the thick broadsheet
newspaper as their first
job. The paper went out of business
in 1977, but the title was
revived as a weekly in 2003.
Four years ago, it was reborn as
the monthly news and lifestyle
publication on stands today.
As the paper celebrates the
200th anniversary of its founding,
readers are invited to send
their stories and memories of
the Press over the years. Send
submissions to tbolger@longislandpress.

The Joseph Biden administration
on Tuesday congratulated
the people of Trinidad and
Tobago on their 59th year of
political independence from
Great Britain.
“As close regional partners,
our countries are working
together to respond to the
COVID-19 pandemic and other
health challenges, increase
mutual prosperity through
trade and investment, and
counter transnational organized
crime and other threats
to regional security,” said US
Secretary of State, Antony J.
Blinken in his message.
“Our strong collaboration
through regional and multilateral
institutions, like the
Caribbean Community and
the Organization of American
States, allows us to strengthen
democracy and security
throughout the region, benefitting
citizens of both our countries,”
he added.
“We extend our congratulations
and best wishes to the
people of Trinidad and Tobago
as you celebrate your 59th year
of independence,” Blinken continued.
In his independence message,
Trinidad and Tobago
Prime Minister Dr. Keith Rowley
urged nationals to adapt to
a 21st century in “becoming
more aware of emerging realities
and trends.”
“We all hold in our hands,
very respectfully, the rights and,
most importantly, the responsibilities
of each other,” he said.
“Once we fully recognize our
obligations and rights, that all
citizens hold an equal share,
we can take charge in shaping
a better, collective future; not
only for ourselves and families
but for all others and all future
generations who will call these
twin islands home.”
The prime minister said the
past 18 months have been very
difficult for the twin-island
republic in light of the COVID-
19 pandemic.
“During this time, the government
had to protect the lives
of our most vulnerable citizens,”
he said. “This has placed a continued
strain on the treasury,
but the government is determined
to take care of the neediest.
