Farm Alliances

It’s actually a bug-eat-bug world. Dogs might fight, but they rarely dine on each other. The final instar of the ladybug eats up to 200 aphids and merely burps. It’s also a bird-eat-bug world, and a bird-eat-bird world, and a bird-eat-seed world. Farming is one of the best places to watch these predatory but sustaining relationships. A certain and unavoidable amount of death must occur to generate life. This is why we welcome the barn swallows. We are grateful that they feed their young with pests our crops sometimes attract.

SMUD was set up, and continues today, as a democratically based public utility. It has a seven-member board of directors elected from the ... by Karl Grossman

The Village of Sag Harbor has expanded its paid parking lots. Last year, paid parking was only on Long Wharf, and it was every driver for himself to find the free (though time-limited) spots on Main Street and in the other public lots.

This is an advantage for those drivers who can figure out how to download and navigate the paid-parking app. What we have, then, is a newfangled parking meter. This inspires some nostalgia for the original, coin-operated parking meter, which made its debut 90 years ago next ... by Tom Clavin

VIEWPOINT: The Village: How I See It

As a landscape architect, I have been fortunate to have worked on some of the most beautiful historic properties on the East End. Though projects widely vary, each begins with the same stated goal: to strive to complement the essence of the given site and house architecture with a landscape design preference that finds value in the simple and calm. Making choices that appear bold and inevitable, shunning the frivolous or decorative. That’s my brand, you might say. The village I saw here for the first time 42 summers ago presented to me its own brand. I was amazed how ... 2 Jun 2025 by Perry Guillot
