I Know What Moms Want

Mother’s Day is next week, and I’m thrilled. The hockey pucks don’t live with us right now, so I’ll be getting what most moms want on Mother’s Day: peace and quiet. I’m lucky. Many of my friends’ adult children’s apartment leases have ended, and they’ve moved back home to save a little money until they find a new place. This stinks for my friends, because when grown kids come back, they revert to teenagers. Even the most capable adult children — those with 401Ks and car insurance — backslide. Once home, these “grownups” leave their half-empty cups on every flat ... 30 Apr 2024 by Tracy Grathwohl

“If we look to western Long Island, there are a lot of lessons that should be applied to us — how a lot of mistakes were made regarding water,” environmentalist John Turner was saying. Turner was speaking about far-western Long Island — Brooklyn — and how it blew its underground water supply more than a century ago. Brooklyn then tried to tap into the aquifers under the Pine Barrens of Suffolk County for potable water but was rebuffed. So it needed to look for water from reservoirs built upstate. These days, the 2.6 million residents of Suffolk and Nassau counties ... by Karl Grossman

So Cool

It’s tractor season in Sagaponack, the time of year you’ll see the most tractors with the widest array of implements ahead of you on the road. You see the bright orange triangle of the reflective SMV (slow moving vehicle) sign. You, at 40 mph, close in on the contraption; the tractor rolls at about 10 mph. The person operating the tractor has ear protection on. He’s wrapped in coveralls and, as if riding a horse, is hunched slightly forward. He won’t look back until he reaches the speed bump and the crosswalk. You don’t think he sees you, but he ... by Marilee Foster

VIEWPOINT: I’m Going To Be Homeless in June. What Has Happened to Our Paradise by the Sea?

By Dianne Moritz What has happened to our beautiful village by the sea? When I vacationed here in the summer of 1984, I thought I had found my paradise. I even wrote and published a piece some months later, titled “Hamptons Dreamland,” raving about the beauty, serenity and charm of the area. My sister, who worked at The Driver’s Seat then, had invited me for the summer. I stayed in one of the three bedrooms in her upstairs apartment on Elm Street, a few houses down from The Hansom House, a funky bar with outside dining and volleyball games in ... by Dianne Moritz
