Lillian’s Hair Salon Celebrates 30 Years With Cut-A-Thon

Lillian’s Hair Salon in Westhampton Beach will celebrate 30 years in business by hosting a charity Cut-A-Thon at the Main Street salon on Sunday, June 11, from 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. In addition to light refreshments, guests can expect $30 flat-fee haircuts (cut and go — no wash or blowouts and guests are asked to bring cash or checks), with 100 percent of the money earned being donated to the Making Headway Foundation.

The Making Headway Foundation is a nonprofit organization that helps children with brain or spinal cord tumors and their families. The organization also funds medical research geared towards offering better treatments and a cure. In addition to the Cut-A-Thon, Lillian’s will also sell raffle tickets in support of the organization.

Donating to charities has become an anniversary tradition for the business. For the 25th anniversary, the Cut-A-Thon at Lillian’s led to a $4,500 donation to the Making Headway Foundation. For the 10th anniversary, the business held a charity event supporting a local Multiple Sclerosis foundation.

Sag Harbor Village Police Reports for the Week of December 11

SAG HARBOR VILLAGE — An officer responded to a call from a Rysam Street address a little after midnight on Saturday. The caller told the officer that a man wearing a black ski mask had walked onto her porch and banged on the front door then ran off. The woman provided the officer with surveillance video from her Ring camera, which visually confirmed what the woman said had happened. Police described the man as white, “approximately 6 feet tall, wearing a black ski mask, black hoodie with a red logo on the back, and wording on the left chest, a ... 12 Dec 2025 by Staff Writer

Dear Neighbor

Congratulations on your new windows. They certainly are big. They certainly are see-through. You must be thrilled with the way they removed even more of that wall and replaced it with glass. It must make it easier to see what is going on in your house even when the internet is down. And security is everything. Which explains the windows. Nothing will make you feel more secure than imagining yourself looking over the rear-yard setback from these massive sheets of structural glass. Staring at the wall has well-known deleterious impact, and windows the size of movie screens are the bold ... by Marilee Foster

The Urgency of Real

The Hamptons International Film Festival typically takes up a lot of oxygen in the fall on the South Fork, but it’s worth celebrating a slightly smaller but just as vital event in late autumn: the Hamptons Doc Fest. Running this week for its 18th year, the festival of documentaries was founded by Jacqui Lofaro and has become an essential part of the region’s arts scene every year. It’s a 12-month undertaking for Lofaro and her staff, and the result is always a tantalizing buffet of outstanding filmmaking, not to mention unforgettable stories. The arrival of the era of streaming services ... 10 Dec 2025 by Editorial Board

Hitting Pause

East Hampton’s housing shortage is real; the town can’t afford to ignore any potential long-term solutions. But the recent — and now scrapped — plan for a large employer-run complex on Three Mile Harbor Road raises too many questions that haven’t been fully answered. The proposal, put forward by Kirby Marcantonio and an unnamed partner, would have created 79 units of employer-controlled housing, comparable to a project he has pitched on Pantigo Road. To make it happen, the East Hampton Town Board would have had to allow the project to sidestep the town’s 60-unit limit on affordable developments, and rezone ... by Editorial Board

Proceed With Caution

Overlay districts are a common zoning tool used by many municipalities. Southampton Town has used them to varying degrees of success — the aquifer protection overlay district has been a winner; a downtown overlay district in Hampton Bays less so — in various parts of the town. They essentially look at the existing zoning, then allow those rules governing what can be done on properties to be reconsidered if there’s a newer concern to be addressed. In a bid to clean up the process for creating more affordable housing, the Town Board is looking at a new overlay district that ... by Editorial Board

The Whole Picture

When it comes to evaluating a complex development proposal, splitting up the application into separate parts may seem tempting, especially when environmental uncertainties loom. But in the case of Adam Potter’s plan for 7 and 11 Bridge Street, the Sag Harbor Village Planning Board should resist any temptation to segment the project for review. Potter’s attorney has asked the board to consider the gas ball property at 5 Bridge Street — a site that could provide the 93 parking spaces required for Potter’s 48 residential units and commercial spaces nearby — separate from the main development. The reason is understandable: ... by Editorial Board
