A Rat in the Coop

Because we have chickens, we have rats. When people who don’t have a farm tell me they are getting chickens, I try to warn them. That’s nice, I say. But be ready for some rats. You might want to consider getting a terrier. This is a messy lifestyle, and your Maltese won’t be able to manage it alone, if at all. As rats are associated with at least a few plagues, cities rightly fear them. In the countryside, we do our part to control them. Each night, when we go to close the coops, there is a hunt. We once ... by Marilee Foster

Feeling the Cuts

Knowing the tone of conversation in Hampton Bays, I suspect many voted the current federal administration in. As the Department of Education is dismantled, federal tax dollars will disappear. I hope they all show up to vote the school budgets down, because my bet is that cutting them to fit what’s left won’t happen. Using 2023-24 numbers, $1,275,363 is at risk. Neither higher taxes nor poorer services for children is a desirable outcome. Congratulations to the Republicans. Well done. Amy Paradise Hampton Bays 24 Mar 2025 by Staff Writer

If poison is used, other parts of the system are afflicted. Recently, a dead owl was found by a friend’s family. The bird was buried. Elaine McKay Sag Harbor The paragraph in question: “Now, consider the alternate outcome if I had been using a poison to kill voles. The owl may have eaten one or two, ingested the poisoned vole and probably died from being poisoned. ... by Staff Writer

Scammer in Chief

Donald Trump has been a scammer his entire adult life. His most successful scam was to convince those who voted for him to believe that he was a friend of the average American. His “average guy” brand came complete with the red trucker hat with the MAGA logo. He awkwardly danced on stage, like your grandpa or uncle who was harmless and just trying to have a good time. He talked about high food prices, and those dangerous illegals, just like your protective neighbor, your buddy. So, let’s look at just a few facts. Since he took office, Trump has ... by Staff Writer
