Our Sag Harbor park tennis courts are under siege. There are eight clay courts and two hard courts. Information was just given at the start of the season that the hard courts will be given over to pickleball, as they were last season, but will be resurfaced and used only for pickleball — not to be shared for tennis, also. Two of the now eight clay courts, on the upper level, are to be paved this summer, I was told, so that the high school teams can use hard courts for practice in fall and spring. The timing of this ...

Kudos to the Board of Trustees of North Haven for addressing the continuous issue of cellphone coverage in North Haven. Poor to no cellphone coverage in and around North Haven is a matter of safety and security that needs to be improved. The two authors of the letters “It’s a Haven” and “Money Grab” from the May 1 issue of The Sag Harbor Express both overstated the size and footprint of a single cell tower.

He immediately approved their reinstallation in any supportive business’s windows. Of course, in a better world, ...

I fractured my patella in March. I was skiing in Colorado. As I stood up from the chairlift, the top of my kneecap broke away. Crazy, right? We couldn’t figure out how it happened. One doctor thought my thigh muscles were so strong, they pulled the bone apart. Those millions of squats I’ve done in the past must have given me the quadriceps of 10 men. But can the quadriceps of 10 men break a bone? If so, are they strong enough to lift a car? Lifting a car would be bad-expletive. Since it happened at the top of the ...

“Governor [Kathy] Hochul is making a major push to not only build new nuclear plants in New York State but to make New York the center of a nuclear revival in the U.S.,” declared Mark Dunlea, chair of the Green Education and Legal Fund, and long a leader on environmental issues in the state and nationally, in a recent email calling on support to “stop Hochul’s nuclear push.” Dunlea is author of the book “Putting Out the Planetary Fire: An Introduction to Climate Change and Advocacy.” An Albany Law School graduate, he co-founded both the New York Public Interest Research ...
