July 31 -- The demolition of the portable classrooms at the Eastport Elementary School began in late July. For more than 30 years, three portable buildings, referred to as “annexes” by the students and staffers, stood on the Eastport Elementary School grounds. They were supposed to be a temporary fix for overcrowding when they were installed, but students continued to file in and out of the classrooms for the next three-plus decades until this past spring, when a second permanent building was finally constructed just a few hundred feet to the east. That building—the $26 million Tuttle Avenue Schoolwas opened to students earlier this year.

‘Something Celestial’?

This column could be for those of you who consider yourselves unlucky. But how many of you have been unlucky enough to be hit by space debris? There is only one person on the planet who can claim that dubious distinction. First, the example of Skylab, which some readers might recall. If people were ever to have dangerous space debris rain on them, it was in 1979, when the vehicle was to tumble from space. Many people were genuinely frightened. Others made bets about when and where the falling space station would reenter Earth’s atmosphere. Newspapers offered prizes for finding ... by Tom Clavin

Staring Into the Past

In addition to potatoes, carrots grow well in Sagaponack. Our soil type can sustain their thirsty character while letting that long, singular, sweet tap root seek itself deep and straight into the dirt. Thus anchored, the carrot prospers until the day I loosen the dirt around it, and pull. We sell carrots two ways, with greens or without. Most want without, and I am happy to leave the substantial foliage here in its field and not have it end up dislocated in a dumpster far from “home.” These are vigorous carrots, and I have a system for removing the greens, ... by Marilee Foster
