This column is bilingual, with Spanish following. Can we talk … talk frankly? Because for the last few weeks, the former president-convicted felon-found liable as a sexual abuser by a jury-with several felony charges pending-businesses bankrupt four times, Donald J. Trump, has done nothing but talk — talk nonsense … talk exaggerations … talk lies about our community, with the goal of staying out of jail. Let’s review: Trump has vowed that if he is elected president there are going to be mass deportations. Not only massive but, as he recently made clear, bloody. Don’t fool yourself into thinking it’s ...

Just like plants, insects bloom. They look like one thing, then another: a tight green bud gives way to a pink flower; a gray pupa becomes red, with polka dots. I observe the ladybugs that populate the fields. They come in waves, and when I am washing lettuce, I see what insect is the most prevalent at any given time, not just the ladybugs but of aphids and less desirable insects, too.

I fondly remember the days when the kids were little and HarborFest was such a big deal to them. For me, getting to walk on Long Wharf with a beer in hand was a treat, as well! My husband and I have volunteered under different tents over the years and participated and watched the whaleboat races. This village event is fun for all. Which is why I am so disappointed to see the ...

After months of reading about Nick LaLota’s campaign, and the misinformation he and his staff are spreading about how he represents Long Islanders, I find the need to speak out to my fellow East Enders. LaLota’s record is clearly one that follows every MAGA-instructed position on abortion, taxes, immigration, the environment and gun control. Are these positions that support his constituents in Congressional District 1? Poll after poll shows that the majority of Americans, regardless of political party, want women to have the right to choose to have an abortion, within common sense time frames.
