Bond Issue Fails; Students Need Fingerless Gloves

I was so disappointed to read in today's Sag Harbor Express that the school bond failed to pass on Tuesday. It will pass in the Spring, I know, but in the meantime the temperature is dropping in the inadequately heated Pierson band room. After last night's triumphant Winter Concert, it would be a shame if the children couldn't continue to develop their impressive skills. I must knit some of these fingerless gloves for my high school saxophonist. The Variety Store ( 45 Main Street; 725-9706) has some cozy-looking "thick and quick" yarn that might help me accomplish this project over the weekend. For directions, click here.
