Melon Envy

The ants come out of the tub drain like they do every summer. I know why this happens, and it does not alarm me. The colony parades across the porcelain swath, up the 90-degree incline of the basin and over the edge. Those with wings make for the window that’s open with its screen removed. The wingless descend to the floor: a crack in the grout, the entrance to a tunnel that takes them to the cinder block “freeway” beneath my house.

A Shared Past

American history is beneath your feet, in archaeological sites of all sizes across Long Island. Such sites represent a cultural snapshot, an opportunity to stop for a moment and contemplate the generations that stood on that same ground, leaving not only their material footprint behind but also the convictions that affect our culture today. These places hold, within their parameters, a moment in time. Few of us, in Sag Harbor now, experience a shared past, having come from all parts of the world, traditions and societies; yet, choosing to be here, we now share a culture. Sag Harbor embodies a ... by Staff Writer

Car Found

I would like to express my sincere appreciation and gratitude to the police department of Sag Harbor and the traffic control officers. I needed to get to the post office and had forgotten my own golden rule to never leave home during peak summer months. The traffic was so intense, in fact, like midtown Manhattan, and it took 45 minutes of searching to even find a parking spot. I rejoiced to find any space at all — but after my errands couldn’t remember where that spot was. It was the worst day to be stranded in the 95-plus-degree heat wave, ... by Staff Writer
