Robin Hood and the Monk

May 26, 2024 | d.lib.rochester.edu | Stephen Knight |Thomas H. Ohlgren

1 somer. The season is said in lines 9-10 to be Whitsuntide in May. Whitsun usually falls in late May, by which time many wild flowers are in bloom (hence the name "White" Sunday). Although many commentators link Robin Hood plays and games with May Day, the earliest references make it clear that late May, and so early summer, is the time when Robin Hood rituals occurred (Knight, 1994, pp. 103-04).

Dec 16, 2023 | myrecordjournal.com | Stephen Knight

By Stephen KnightHaving been given the opportunity to write a column to be published just before Christmas, I was determined to write about the significance of the holiday. As I researched, I found so many quotes that, in just a few words, defined all the aspects of this important date in the Christian calendar, the birth of Jesus Christ.

Opinion: Wallingford voters chose wisely on Election Day

Nov 10, 2023 | myrecordjournal.com | Stephen Knight

By Stephen KnightIt will come as no surprise that this columnist believes that Wallingford voters chose wisely on November 7th. Mayor-elect Vinny Cervoni was, by far, far, far the only qualified candidate to lead Wallingford town government. He is prepared; he is experienced, and he is mature. This was the first election for mayor in 40 years where Bill Dickinson was not running, but that is not the only reason that sets this one apart.

By Stephen KnightIn March of 2024, Hubcap Wallingford will celebrate its 10th anniversary. It’s a nonprofit organization that many have heard of, many more have actually been to their facility at 128 Center Street, and all too many others have yet to get to know.

Oct 20, 2023 | myrecordjournal.com | Stephen Knight

By Stephen KnightThe Wallingford mayoral campaign is generating a lot of attention, and it should. Each candidate is working hard to convince you to vote for him. But it would appear that Riley O’Connell believes that the best way to secure your vote is to paint the Town of Wallingford as failing and its municipal government as inept. Neither of those opinions hold one ounce of credibility.

Sep 10, 2023 | myrecordjournal.com | Stephen Knight

By Stephen KnightThis column is being written on Thursday, September 14 at 9 a.m. The primary subject is going to be Hurricane Lee, which has to be subject numero uno. It is rare that a hurricane wanders up our way, so it is big news in all its aspects: where will it make landfall, how powerful will it be when it does, how are all the states and provinces in its potential path preparing for it, etc., etc.
