SAG HARBOR VILLAGE — Sag Harbor Village Police are investigating a report they received Sunday of a possible burglary at a Grand Street home. The resident of the house had recently died, and his family members were cleaning it out when they discovered that a deadbolt lock on an exterior door had been damaged, apparently by someone forcing their way into the house. In addition, the woman making the report to police, the owner’s daughter, pointed out that a large oil painting by the artist Hjalmar Cappy Amundsen, which had been hanging on the wall, was missing. Amundsen’s paintings, mostly ...

In an age punctuated by extreme political party divisions and acrimony, it was refreshing to hear from two Suffolk County legislators representing the East End — one a Democrat and one a Republican — about how well they worked together to represent the interests of their varied constituents and pass legislation to benefit all residents, regardless of political affiliation. It was downright astonishing to hear them heap praise upon each other, both personally and politically, during separate interviews with The Express News Group Editorial Board. This at a time when each is facing an active challenger. It became crystal clear ...

There are precious few choices for Southampton Town voters to make between now and November 4, a sad state of affairs based on well-documented horse trading that took place behind the scenes. The key swap made sure Maria Moore did not face a challenger for a second term as supervisor; in exchange, Charles McArdle, likewise, will cruise to a second term as highway superintendent.

That was taken away from them, largely, this year by party leaders — ...
