Every December the Montauk Fire Department makes sure that Montauk's Senior Citizens are not left out of the holiday celebration and feasting, by serving dinner

Every December the Montauk Fire Department makes sure that Montauk's Senior Citizens are not left out of the holiday celebration and feasting, by serving dinner "from soup to nuts"....traditionally inside the firehouse. Because of the pandemic, this year's format was grab 'n go, like last year. Seniors had the choice of driving through the parking lot to pick up their goodie bag, or, if they were unable to get there, dinner was delivered to their homes. Above Edna Steck. RICHARD LEWIN

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.

These days, the 2.6 million residents of Suffolk and Nassau counties ... by Karl Grossman

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
