• Those who knew B. Smith at the height of her career never could have dreamed that she could so quickly become the public face of a degenerative disease long thought to be found primarily among the elderly. But she approached even this demon with style and courage. Our tribute to the Sag Harbor restaurateur, who passed away over the weekend, is online here.

• The Southold Town Board will hear presentation from the town’s helicopter advisory committee and on a parking study in New Suffolk and updates on youth bureau programs and the implementation of the town’s Comprehensive Plan at its 9 a.m. work session this morning.

The full agenda for both meetings is online here.
