The Gift of Life

All local stories matter. They matter to some portion of readers, and they certainly matter to the journalists sharing them. But there’s always an article that hits home a little more than others. Bill Sutton, who is the managing editor of The Express News Group, was never comfortable being in the pages of our newspapers. But he agreed, because his story is so important — and can help so many others — because he needs a donor kidney. He’s not alone: There are some 100,000 people in the United States alone who need life-saving organ donations. It’s testament to modern ... 4 Jun 2025 by Editorial Board

A Place To Play

Shinnecock Hills and Tuckahoe make up a mecca for golfers, with four world-class golf courses shoulder to shoulder: Shinnecock Hills, the National Golf Links of America, Sebonack and Southampton. Sebonack is the new kid on the block, opened in 2006 and designed by Jack Nicklaus and Tom Doak, but it’s already developed an international reputation, hosted a Women’s U.S. Open and made the list of the nation’s 100 best courses. Nearby are The National, which dates to 1911, and Shinnecock Hills, founded in 1891, the celebrity courses that every golfer knows and dreams of playing. Southampton, though, is the overachieving ... by Editorial Board

Farm Alliances

It’s actually a bug-eat-bug world. Dogs might fight, but they rarely dine on each other. The final instar of the ladybug eats up to 200 aphids and merely burps. It’s also a bird-eat-bug world, and a bird-eat-bird world, and a bird-eat-seed world. Farming is one of the best places to watch these predatory but sustaining relationships. A certain and unavoidable amount of death must occur to generate life. This is why we welcome the barn swallows. We are grateful that they feed their young with pests our crops sometimes attract. We see the birds proximity to us as the result ... by Marilee Foster

Steps in Motion

I read with interest your recent editorial, “Three Priorities” [May 29], and agree that traffic and parking remain complex, intertwined challenges in Sag Harbor. That said, I believe the piece gave the impression that some promising ideas are simply floating out there, rather than reflecting the tangible steps already being taken by the village in partnership with community stakeholders. Take Jesse Matsuoka’s shuttle concept, for example. Jesse has brought this forward with real passion, and the Village Board, especially the mayor and I, have had extensive conversations with him about how best to support it. We are optimistic about what ... by Staff Writer
