Cleaning Out

There is no setting on binoculars that works in the fog — everything in the distance remains indistinct, and that is fine. Here, the low place, called Sagg Swamp, begins a nearly uninterrupted corridor of unbuilt-upon land: wetlands, ponds and kettleholes; the Long Pond Greenbelt runs for miles to the old harbor. Today, contained, the only fog is there. It rises up from the dark muck to smudge the damp foliage with its dreamy, silver light. So, above, as the crow flies, the air is tinted between gold and pink. Fog is a reoccurring theme, because it reveals a sense ... by Marilee Foster

'Novembrance'

Gaudy October is gone. The November landscape is muted colors, falling leaves and skeletal branches. The month opens with reminders of death. In the Catholic Church, November first is All Saints’ Day. On November 2, All Souls Day is dedicated to praying for the souls of the departed. The Mexican tradition of the Day of the Dead is celebrated on the same days but has a more festive air. It’s also observed across the United States. The All-Souls Procession has been an annual event since 1990 in Tucson, Arizona. San Antonio, Texas, is known for its Muertos Fest and river ... by Denise Gray Meehan

A Bright Spot

There were strong Democratic victories nationally in last week’s election, led by Mikie Sherrill winning the governorship of New Jersey, and Abigail Spanberger winning the governorship of Virginia, and other Democratic wins seen as involving clear anti-President Donald Trump viewpoints. In Suffolk County, we were in the viewing area in which a torrent of TV commercials were broadcast in the race between Sherrill and Republican Jack Ciattarelli, who in most of them stressed his staunch support for Trump. Although the race was predicted to be tight, Sherrill won by a large margin. This and other successful Democratic contests are being ... by Karl Grossman

Sag Harbor Village Police Reports for the Week of November 13

SAG HARBOR VILLAGE — Village Police arrested Javaun H. Thomas, 30, of Manorville the night of November 3 on multiple vehicle-related charges, including a misdemeanor charge of criminal possession of a forged instrument, namely a license plate. Police said that Thomas was driving a 2008 Dodge suburban on Jermaine Avenue and that the car had a license plate on its rear that had been switched from another vehicle. In addition, the license plate on the front of the car was actually a manufactured one, not state-issued, the police said, leading to the forged instrument charge. Police had pulled Thomas over ... by Staff Writer

Behind the Masks

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement actions are taking place across the United States, and not just in urban areas, as we discovered on the South Fork last week. But the most alarming thing about ICE raids is the aggressive nature, and the lack of transparency. Many ICE agents are making arrests while wearing masks — they will say it’s because agents have been harassed personally when they’re identified by the public. But the masks are symbolic of the entire process, which is markedly different from most police actions. When agents from New York City swept through gathering places on November ... by Editorial Board

Fundraiser for Food Pantries Set in Sag Harbor

With stubbornly high food prices and cuts in federal food aid programs, food pantries on the East End are feeling the pinch.

The free event will run from noon to 5 p.m.; attendees have been asked to drop off nonperishable foods, make a donation or help collect and deliver donated food to the two food pantries. “This ... 11 Nov 2025 by Stephen J.

Sag Harbor Partnership Cancels Firehouse Museum Fundraising Event

An open house scheduled for Friday, November 14, to kick off the fundraising effort to restore the Sag Harbor Firehouse Museum has been canceled. The Sag Harbor Partnership announced that it had learned “there is some remediation to be done” that prevents allowing guests inside the building, which has sat unattended for five years and saw little regular upkeep in the years before. The Partnership has estimated that it will cost approximately $1.2 million to restore the building plus an additional $300,000 to create modern displays. The board said it would reschedule the event as soon as possible. by Staff Writer
