Global Warming Is Here

I was sorry not to have signed up for the upcoming Express Sessions event on climate change, which I insist on calling by its true name, which is global warming. We were first warned about it as long ago as the 1980s, and it is still going on. Arctic Sea ice continues to shrink, tornadoes show up in the Midwest more and more often, and we are due soon for another hurricane here in the East. Meanwhile, the big oil companies continue to drill for their buried assets, and the U.S. is one of the biggest oil suppliers on Earth. ... 7 May 2024 by Anthony Brandt

Many Events, One Sag Harbor

We don’t get out much, what with work and the kids and all. My wife, the award-winning journalist Kathryn Menu, and I were raised in East Hampton, but we share a love for all things Sag Harbor after having worked at this newspaper for nearly 20 years — as its co-publishers for the last 10. So we enjoyed hitting the town for a wonderful two nights with members of the Sag Harbor community last week. Our community has been through some tough times over the last few years, with the pandemic giving way to a mountain of political discord that ... 6 May 2024 by Gavin Menu

VIEWPOINT: A Prelude to Summer

Once again, as the cherry blossoms appear, so does the arrival of spring — the season notorious for being a prelude to summer. It is so easy to view and smell springtime in the Hamptons. The bay and ocean waters are as clear and smooth as glass. Our seas are crystal clear all the way to the bottom. The beaches are completely free of rubbish and debris. We see only sand and stones. Lawns are green and flowers are about to bloom. There are other harbingers of summer, most notably in the Hamptons. When approaching restaurants of high-quality cuisine and ... by Shari Adler

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

A Life-Changing Experience

It was fitting that Suffolk County, with some of the richest soil in the world and still on the New York State’s list of its top agricultural counties (No. 4 based on “farm sales”), was the setting in recent days of a “Docs Equinox” series of documentaries with the theme “Cultivating Connections: Soils, Farms, Food.” Last year, the “Docs Equinox” series focused on drinking water and the aquifer. There were outstanding documentaries and speakers. The documentaries and speakers on April 12-14 this year — again in honor of Earth Day — were most outstanding, too. Indeed, after viewing a documentary ... 22 Apr 2024 by Karl Grossman
