Frozen in Time

On old maps, one circa 1700, the geography of Sagaponack is differently portrayed. The bodies of water are the most significant features on the map. Poxabogue Pond, Sagg Swamp, now owned and with trails maintained by The Nature Conservancy, is dominant, etched large, drawn like an expanding spider web across the yellowed page. Sagaponack Pond, too, looks impressively large, its northern boundary marked “Forest” and, at its edge, by 1750, the dam for the adjacent mill. This place is now called White Walls, and few of us crossing there can imagine this former, former time. There is also a dotted ... by Marilee Foster

Southampton Election Outlook

With the passing of Columbus Day weekend, summer is now well behind us. This has always been my favorite time of year on the East End. While “Tumbleweed Tuesday” no longer provides the line of demarcation between summer and fall that it once did, there is an undeniable change in the pace of life and the character of this very special place in the fall. Despite the weekend’s nor’easter, there is no better weather here than September and October. There is a crispness in air and a special quality to the light that explains the attraction of artists to this ... by Fred W. Thiele Jr.

Heeding a Calling

This month marks a new era in medicine on Long Island, in the state and beyond. On October 1, Michael Dowling stepped down as the CEO and president of Northwell Health. In his more than 23 years at the helm of Northwell, he led it to becoming the largest health care provider and private employer in New York State. Under Dowling, Long Island-based Northwell has grown to 28 hospitals, more than 1,000 outpatient facilities, and 104,000 employees, including over 20,000 physicians and 22,000 nurses — and this not only in New York but in five states. He will remain with ... by Karl Grossman

Reconsider Decision

I am so disappointed and deeply saddened by the Regal Cinema corporate decision to discontinue broadcasting the Metropolitan Opera Live in HD series at its Hampton Bays theater. For many years, many locals were able to access and experience world-class opera close to home, and now, for some reason, the decision has been made to no longer broadcast these award-winning performances. I hope they will reconsider. Deborah DeLuccy Westhampton Beach by Staff Writer

Bad Advice?

Perhaps you have seen the latest social media video targeting Councilwoman Cyndi McNamara, which was paid for by the Suffolk County Democratic Committee. The ad starts by promoting Democratic Town Board candidate Tom Neely’s achievements, then quickly transitions into a rather dark, inaccurate portrayal of McNamara, describing her as a “MAGA extremist” and stating that her “extremism is hurting Southampton.” I guess this is a thing now. This is the second election where Councilwoman McNamara has been on the receiving end of very expensive and very untrue negative ads. This time, it’s the Suffolk County Democratic Committee slinging the mud. ... by Staff Writer
