The Suffolk County Department of Public Works has proposed running sidewalks into Sag Harbor along both sides of County Road 79. Village officials are hoping to convince the county to adjust those plans so the entrance to Mashashimuet Park can be moved and the corner intersection can be made more safe.

The Far Side

No rain for over three months, and we can be glad this isn’t the growing season: The fall crops are inclined to idle, grow slow, as dew is enough to keep the spinach alive. But the aphids don’t die, and nor are they washed away. I go out before daybreak, and the sky is so clear that the satellites, slow-moving buoys, stand out. A launch is no longer a strange sight. A string of them, being towed into Earth’s low orbit, ascend into the eastern sky. It is still night, and the tremendous noise that must exist is silent. Behind ... by Marilee Foster

An Enduring American Story

Last month marked the 85th anniversary of the release of my favorite film. Given the election results and concerns about political integrity, “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington” is more relevant than ever.

He understands the value of protecting coastal waters, estuaries, the marine environment and drinking water … We’re hoping, and we need Lee Zeldin to bring perspective and strength to the Trump administration to do the right ... by Karl Grossman

Job Well Done

Now that this year’s election cycle is finally over, I would like to take a little time to publicly thank one of the most dedicated public officials that has represented the citizens of the East End, the 1st District assemblyman, Fred Thiele. Fred is retiring from elected office, first as a Suffolk County legislator, then Southampton Town supervisor, and finally as a member of the Assembly, where he spent 30 successful years. The impact of his work will be celebrated for generations to come. I first met Fred in the late 1970s, when he was working for Assemblyman John Behan. ... 18 Nov 2024 by Staff Writer
