Hetrick-Martin Institute Benefit on August 2 Reaches for the Stars in Its 25th Year

In the Hamptons, where summer fundraising events occur with the same cadence as incoming flights at LaGuardia, it’s always interesting to see which ones have stood the test of time. After all, the demographics have certainly shifted dramatically in the last decade — a lot more money — but that doesn’t necessarily guarantee a rise in “the get” for deserving nonprofits. Indeed, the great philanthropists of the Hamptons can still be counted on fingers and toes. So for an event to reach its silver anniversary, along with record-breaking income, speaks volumes, especially when the cause is so very much a ... by Steven Stolman

Sag Harbor Police Reports for the Week of July 24

SAG HARBOR VILLAGE — The arrest of Marco Lucio, 37, by Village Police on misdemeanor DWI charges around midnight on Friday presented a bit of a challenge for Sag Harbor Village Justice Carl Irace, as well as for the attorneys involved, during the defendant’s Saturday morning video arraignment. Lucio, driving a 2025 Ford Bronco, had been pulled over on Hampton Street for speeding, police said, adding that he appeared intoxicated and failed sobriety tests, leading to his arrest. Lucio, 37, a citizen of France, was visiting Montauk, and was scheduled to return to his home on the island of Saint-Barthélemy ... by Staff Writer

Rethinking Rentals

East Hampton Town Councilwoman Cate Rogers deserves credit for doing a deep dive into an issue that should be top of mind in both town halls and every village hall on the South Fork: the impact of short-term rentals on the overall housing market. Affordable housing is a constant conversation, but too often the focus is on the price of real estate. That’s clearly a key factor in making communities less affordable to live in, but it’s not the only one. In fact, the impact of short-term rentals, particularly via the explosion of booking websites and apps, arguably has had ... by Editorial Board

Without Art

Last week, Kate Mueth, a fixture of and firebrand for the East End arts scene, widely passed along an email asking people to send emails to U.S. senators, asking them to restore funding for the arts. The Performing Arts Alliance was the source of the request. It noted that on July 15, the U.S. House Appropriations Interior Subcommittee had proposed, in draft bill for the fiscal year 2026, cutting funds for the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities at $135 million each, cutting funding by almost a third. That’s severe — but President Donald ... by Editorial Board

Not-So-Still Life

Twenty-five barn swallows are resting on the metal slope of the shop roof. White tin and the deep blue of their feathers makes for a corner of brilliance in an otherwise quiet farmyard. The birds are not still; because they are fledglings and perhaps exhausted by the morning’s workout, they slide a little. Feathers splay before regaining purchase; the group shimmers. Adults, still on wing, make wide, gliding circles throughout the familiar complex. The heat pours on, little showers come at night, dew enough to keep the lettuce alive, but the humidity threatens to rot it. At the point, when ... by Marilee Foster

SCWA To Receive Settlement From 3M Company in 'Forever Chemical' Lawsuit

The Suffolk County Water Authority has announced that it would receive its first payment as part of a nationwide class-action lawsuit against the 3M Company, a manufacturer of PFAS, which are often referred to as “forever chemicals,” because they do not break down over time. The chemicals have polluted Long Island’s sole-source aquifer, and SCWA will receive part of a $10.5 billion settlement involving thousands of water providers across the country. SCWA expects an initial payment of $34 million, about 20 percent of the $170 million it will receive in total from the settlement. Although the settlement is an important ... by Stephen J. Kotz
