Police across the South Fork will be collecting unused and expired prescription medications on Saturday, as part of the Drug Enforcement Agency’s National Prescription Drug Take Back Day. 

East Hampton Town police will be at Town Hall on Pantigo Road from 10 a.m to 2 p.m.

Southampton Town police's Drug Take Back event will be held during the same times at three locations: the police substation at Bridgehampton Commons, the Hampton Bays Community Center, and the Flanders Community Center.

Police were called to check on a man sleeping in his vehicle on Dunemere Lane on Saturday morning around 10:20. As it turned out, the 57-year-old man was just catching some shut-eye while waiting to pick up an 11 a.m. fare on Old Beach Lane.

Albert Edward Bevan of Shelter Island, a former guidance counselor at East Hampton High School, died of complications from pneumonia on Oct. 13 at Stony Brook University Hospital. He was 89.

Tis the season, as the water cools rapidly, that many minds, around here anyway, turn to scallops. New York State will allow the start of harvesting from its waters on Nov. 4; town waters will open on Nov. 10, a Sunday. How good the take will be remains to be seen. I have my doubts.

It’s occurred to me that I’ve met (and written about) one Kurd in my life, 23 years ago, and while the situation of his people, mountain livestock herders, was then dire, squeezed as he said they were by five powers, the United States being one, it could well be even more so now, now that Trump has hung them out to dry — the Kurds, as staunch an ally as one could hope for when it comes to fighting, who did a lot of heavy lifting when it came to defeating ISIS.
