Turkeys and Eagles

The turkey is the loudest thing in the predawn hours. A “gobble” descriptor does not come close to capturing his overture. From the distant darkness, it’s no songbird tuning-in when the turkey lets loose his call. So much like the bird itself, it’s a big and a slightly comical noise, followed then by a long silence. Saying nothing more, he flaps down from his roost to begin his day. There are ladies to court and toms to fight, grubs to be scratched from the earth. To be a turkey in Sagg is not so bad. No longer needing reintroduction, their ... 7 May 2025 by Marilee Foster

'Solving' the Traffic

It’s not fair to suggest that the last two weeks, when Southampton Town, with Suffolk County’s blessing, tested some various strategies for managing the flow of traffic westward in the afternoon rush hours, will be enough to “solve” anything. This is a Gordian knot, but Charlie McArdle is no Alexander the Great, sword in hand, ready to cut the snarl free. At best, the town’s highway superintendent is diligently picking at various parts of the heap, hoping to loosen it a tiny bit.

One Year After Being Brought Up on Disciplinary Charges, Southampton Town Police Officer Will Have a Hearing

One year ago this month, a Southampton Town Police officer who was already on a last-chance agreement was served disciplinary charges and notice that the police department was seeking his dismissal. This month, he’ll have the chance to refute those charges at a disciplinary hearing. Chief James Kiernan signed the 15 disciplinary charges against officer Jonathan Loren on May 14, 2024, each charge related to an incident on January 5, 2024, during which, the department alleges, Loren was dispatched to a motor vehicle accident with pedestrian injuries in Noyac near the end of the shift. The charges state that Loren ... by Brendan J. O’Reilly
