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. The most numerous creature on earth — who am I to stop them here? News of the $400 ... 8 Jul 2025 by Marilee Foster

In Search of a Lyme Vaccine

Three decades ago, after writing about people undergoing severe cases of Lyme disease in Suffolk County, I chose to get shots of a vaccine that had just become available designed to prevent the disease happening after a bite of a Lyme-carrying tick. It was 1998, and what was called LYMErix was introduced that year to counter Lyme disease. I went to our family physician, Dr. Daniel Lessner in Sag Harbor, since retired, for a series of three vaccinations. There were no side effects. Making a judgment on a negative is problematic, but in following years, although bitten by ticks, I ... 6 Jul 2025 by Karl Grossman

'We Are All Jews Here'

Some of you may have noticed that often a “Road Yet Taken” column is tied to an anniversary. Not this time — for two reasons. One is, because of all the political divisiveness and especially antisemitism going around, I decided it was time to tell the story of someone who inspires us to be better people. Two: This is a salute to the folks who, Sunday after Sunday, in all kinds of weather, gather at the windmill in Sag Harbor to protest the violence in Gaza. Recently, a group supporting Israel has been having its own protest a few feet ... by Tom Clavin

Making Choices

Farming is a series of choices. You have to make a plan based on past experience and a somewhat likely future. Because it is seldom hot in the beginning of May, we cover the eggplant to speed it along. We also cover it to keep the bugs off. Of course, there are pros and cons to every choice. The cover also keeps insects, like aphids, in, and, just like its cultivated host, (almost) perfectly protected. So, when I see that some of the eggplants are under attack, we opt to remove the row cover early and to expose the eggplant ... 1 Jul 2025 by Marilee Foster

Mistakes of the Past

Governor Kathy Hochul continued her push for nuclear power in New York State by announcing last week that she has “directed the New York Power Authority” to “develop a new nuclear facility” to be built upstate, which would, as the heading of her announcement said, be the “First New Nuclear Power Construction in New York State in a Generation.” Her move was criticized by safe energy and climate activists and participants in the decades-long battle against nuclear power on Long Island. For years, the Long Island Lighting Company sought to build seven to 11 nuclear power plants, with the Shoreham ... 28 Jun 2025 by Karl Grossman

Planning for New Campus Progresses

One of my priorities when I served in the State Assembly was the future of the Southampton college campus. As part of Long Island University between 1963 and 2006, Southampton College was a critical part of providing higher educational opportunities on the East End, as well as an important part of the local economy and the cultural landscape. Tens of thousands of students benefited from the presence of the college. It was a personal lifeline for me, by providing me the chance to get a college education here at home when going away to school was just not feasible. In ... by Fred W. Thiele Jr.
