Three Priorities

With Memorial Day weekend looming, there are three things Sag Harbor Village must urgently consider adding to the mix to address summer parking woes. First, it’s imperative and long overdue for Sag Harbor to have a functional shuttle to move people between parking areas and key spots in the downtown area. Last week, Jesse Matsuoka, the local restaurateur, handed the Village Board a proposal for a free shuttle bus that would operate as a pilot program for one year, using the Hampton Hopper and sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce. Village officials should drop everything and work out all the ... by Editorial Board

Friends and Enemies

The catbird, a jazz artist, works his exotic repertoire. Above, a robin, stuck on repeat, warns of a predator walking below. The cool quiet redescends on Sagaponack. Those who remain are admittedly stunned, and also relieved. The deep breath that is the close of the day, evening, exhales with a sigh. A friend of mine wants to paint a portrait of a potato beetle, and about a month ago she asked me if I had any. Too early, I said — the potatoes aren’t even out of the ground.

We'll Remind Them

Within the narrow scope which it inhabits, it’s hard to argue with your May 22 editorial, “Standing Firm,” which salutes Congressman Nick LaLota for his insistence on raising the federal income tax deduction cap on state and local taxes (SALT) in the budget package before the House of Representatives. Since then, that package has passed, and the cap will now go from $10,000 to $40,000, providing that the bill passes the Senate, and this will give a measure of relief to a number of East End taxpayers. But that’s not the whole story — not even close. The “One Big, ... 26 May 2025 by Staff Writer

Giving Light

After 47 years, I am retiring as a professor at the State University of New York at Old Westbury. A professor is what I always wanted to be. It’s hard to remember accurately what you were thinking when you were 14. But at that age, for an Eagle Scout Day in Queens, Eagle Scouts were asked in what occupational setting they would like to be placed for a day — and I chose a college. I was coupled with the president of Queens College, toured it, visited classes, spoke with professors. My trajectory changed at 17, when I went to ... by Karl Grossman
