VIEWPOINT: Tolerance: The Aftermath

By Shari Adler In my youth, I experienced life in the environment of a New England small town, where Fair Isle sweaters coordinated with some iteration of plaid dominating the dress of the fall and winter months. Many people mirrored the appearance of their neighbors. Sitcoms substantiated a mocked reality of the appearance of a monolithic existence. I recall passionately held political debates permeating holiday dinner discussions between my father and my aunt. Republican versus Democratic perspectives are vivid in my memory, but so is the decency with which these opposing viewpoints were portrayed. Even as an awed adolescent, I ... 15 Jun 2021 by By Shari Adler

Father’s Day

When I got back from the field, the new guy was gone. He’d been gung-ho, a hard worker. He was young, with some farm experience and aptitude. But he did not grow up on a farm, and so his regard for the equipment we use around a farm was never where it should have been. We were persistent in our criticism and withheld trust. My father taught me, with a certain degree of brutality, how serious modern agriculture is. Breakdowns due to human error were inexcusable. All of us were taught to drive potato trucks by my father. We had ... by Marilee Foster

Backyard Pleasures

No, I’m not growing marijuana — but I’m gardening in pots on my deck. It is fun and affordable. It is also easy on the back when you don’t have to bend over too much or perch on your knees. In France and Italy, they have flowers and herbs stuffed into a variety of pots. I am continuing that tradition on my deck in Southampton. Perennial herbs are coming up — chives, with their purple edible flowers, ubiquitous mint that could take over the world, and sage. Even my rosemary has survived the winter, with healthy, delicate blue flowers announcing ... 14 Jun 2021 by Joanne Pateman

Explaining The ARB

When I was chairman of the Village of Sag Harbor’s Board of Historic Preservation and Architectural Review, the new owner of a small house in Sag Harbor came before our board with an application to tear it down and build a house at least twice its size on the lot — to accommodate, he claimed, his large family, including five grandchildren. On that same day, according to his immediate neighbor, there appeared an ad in an online source offering his new, proposed house for sale in quaint, charming Sag Harbor. We denied the application, not because the application was dishonest ... 8 Jun 2021 by Anthony Brandt

Suffolk Closeup

Alleged bias in hiring in a Suffolk County school district could lead to a statewide law prohibiting discriminatory practices “in relation to the qualifications of professionals in education.” Assemblyman Fred W. Thiele Jr. of Sag Harbor is a co-sponsor of legislation introduced in the State Assembly by Michaelle Solages of Elmont, the deputy Assembly Democratic leader and chair of the New York State Black, Puerto Rican, Hispanic and Asian Caucus. The bill cites a 2019 State Department of Education study that states that “New York’s student population of students of color is 50 percent. The racial and ethnic composition of ... by Karl Grossman

Smells And Sounds

If you live in a rural place long enough, you know its smells and sounds. The starlings have come off their first broods. After years of calm, if not near extinction, from the chicken yard, the familiar breed is back. Adults with their clever charges empty the feeders. They are noisy, like a class trip, huge numbers of adolescents flocking together, with never enough chaperons. The air is filled with their rasping demands. In early morning, as I harvest, I count the passing of seven concrete trucks as they, at intervals, come down Sagg Main. Besides the morning birds, the ... by Marilee Foster
