In 1986, after enrolling in secondary schools and dropping out and trying to be an artist in Paris, Poppy Johnson landed a part-time job at the Floyd Memorial Library in Greenport.
Her years of searching for a path she could be happy on had taken her from Greenwich Village, where she grew up, to Barnard College, where she dropped out, to passage to Europe on a Norwegian freighter so she could try to be an artist in Paris, then back to the Rhode Island School of Design, where she also dropped out.

Two years ago, Greg Doroski of Mattituck came up just 117 votes shy of ousting incumbent town Supervisor Scott Russell from office.
Now, he’s returning to local politics in a run for one of two open seats on the Town Board in November’s election.
“I feel called to do the hard work required to preserve the irreplaceable character of our community,” Mr. Doroski said as the Southold Town Democratic Committee announced its slate of candidates at a virtual convention Tuesday.
