The mother of all lawn weeds, crabgrass, is easy to control and even eradicate. A healthy and vigorous lawn will choke it out and any rogue plants that are spotted can be hand pulled before they go to seed. This single crabgrass plant, if left to flower and seed, can produce hundreds of new plants that will germinate and establish next year. ANDREW MESSINGER

Southampton Scored $19 Million Grant for Riverside Sewers

Southampton Town has been awarded a $19 million grant to help fund the construction of a sewer system and sewage treatment plant for Riverside — the cornerstone of the town’s decade-long drive for a sweeping revitalization of the blighted hamlet. The town recently won a lawsuit brought by Riverhead Town seeking to stop the Riverside sewer system, which will be able to treat the daily sewage from more than 700 new residences and hundreds of thousands of square feet of new commercial businesses. The first phase of the design and planing for the sewer system is complete and the town ... by Michael Wright

Stop the Hunger

Setting aside politics for a moment, the federal government shutdown, now in its fifth week, is having significant consequences. A Washington Post story last week estimated that it will cost the economy up to $14 billion. The Congressional Budget Office says up to 750,000 federal workers are being furloughed or required to work without pay. The impact on air traffic controllers is starting to affect travel just as the holiday season begins.

Expect Delays

Anyone who commutes east and west on the South Fork daily, or who needs goods or services that come by truck — so, really, everyone — endured several days of stress. New York State and Suffolk County officials were able to find a higher gear than normal to repair Sunrise Highway at the Shinneock Canal, which limited the pain, and for that they are to be commended. By now, everyone is aware: Heavy rains last week caused erosion along the bridge abutments on the northeast side of the canal. Two westbound lanes of the highway were closed for days, with ... by Editorial Board

Sachem Comes Back To Defeat Westhampton Beach on Final Hole of County Golf Tournament Semifinal

The Westhampton Beach golf team was primed to move on to the finals of the Section XI Team Tournament at Pine Hills Golf and Country Club in Manorville on Monday. The No. 2 Hurricanes led No. 3 Sachem by as many as seven shots in the morning semifinal round, but a fervent comeback by Sachem, particularly on the ninth and final hole of the round, wound up being the difference. Sachem trailed by one stroke going into that last hole but Sachem’s No. 6, senior Gavin Nerko, parred to score a 50 and gain two strokes, leading to a 6-3 ... by Drew Budd
