It isn’t the first potato truck I learned to drive, but it’s the same kind, a retrofitted army truck, rugged and simple in accord with its unstoppable American design. When the engine cranks and comes to life — as it has for 50 years, and will for 50 more — patriotic old men, many of them farmers, know to thank Detroit. But we’ve sold her. We’re thinning the fleet. A farm in Vermont wants this one. Almost all of our harvest trucks have a military surplus pedigree. With this pedigree comes a year. One of the oldest trucks, one we ...

The Sag Harbor Historical Museum was awarded a $10,000 grant to restore headstones in Sag Harbor’s Old Burying Ground on Union Street. The grant was from the Robert David Lion Gardiner Foundation, which supports projects that highlight New York history.

The headstones are a valuable part of Sag Harbor history, telling a story reaching back to the Revolutionary War. Capt. Lester BeeBee, the patriarch of the BeeBee family was ...

The solstice is just a moment, a moment when the planet’s tilt has reached obliquity and now it shall begin its trip back the other way. This moment took place early last Saturday, and by now our days will have begun to grow longer. Only it won’t feel like that. Winter begins with a sun that seems stalled in the southern sky. The days are very short and sometimes cold; frost is preserved on the backsides of buildings. Out on the East End of Long Island, on the South Fork, in a low-lying land we still call Sagaponack, things stop ...

Bang! There I was, stopped, sitting in a traffic jam on Route 58, or Old Country Road, in Riverhead two weeks ago, and … bang! It felt like my Toyota Prius was collapsing. My little car was struck by an auto that had been behind me, which was hit by a vehicle behind it. And then my car was pushed into a car in front of it in the pile-up. No one was hurt. But as Phil Hattorff, the owner of Phil’s Auto & Truck Repair, whose tow truck carried my car away, commented at the scene, my Prius was ...

Thomas Jones’s letter, “A Safer World” [December 19], prompted me to write this letter. Mr. Jones crows about Donald Trump’s leadership. He says Trump’s leadership will make the world safer. I would like to see President-elect Trump show some leadership with gun safety here in the United States. Just the other day, a 15-year-old girl in Madison, Wisconsin, shot and killed a student and a teacher and injured several others before she killed herself. This shooting in Wisconsin is the 83rd school shooting recorded in 2024, surpassing 2023 for the most school shootings in a single year since CNN began ...
