Turkeys and Eagles

The turkey is the loudest thing in the predawn hours. A “gobble” descriptor does not come close to capturing his overture. From the distant darkness, it’s no songbird tuning-in when the turkey lets loose his call. So much like the bird itself, it’s a big and a slightly comical noise, followed then by a long silence. Saying nothing more, he flaps down from his roost to begin his day. There are ladies to court and toms to fight, grubs to be scratched from the earth. To be a turkey in Sagg is not so bad. No longer needing reintroduction, their ... 7 May 2025 by Marilee Foster

Nazis, Aliens and the Hamptons, Oh My!

On June 13, 1942, Nazi saboteurs landed on Atlantic Beach in Amagansett as part of a larger plot to strategically cripple U.S. infrastructure. Next month, the Life-Saving Station there will commemorate the historic event. Thanks to the courage and ingenuity of a young seaman, John C. Cullen, the saboteurs — who had buried explosives in the dunes — were quickly reported, later arrested and eventually tried under the framework of the Alien Enemies Act. Yeah, that act. The same 1798 act under which the Trump administration is trying to disappear hundreds of Venezuelan migrants to a gulag in El Salvador. ... 6 May 2025 by Carlos Sandoval

Thanks to Brianna

A tragic event on the waters of Great South Bay off Bay Shore in 2005, in which two boats collided and Brianna Lieneck, 11, was killed, her parents severely injured, and an older sister and her friend hurt, led to the passage in 2019 of “Brianna’s Law.” With it, New York State joined other states in requiring operators of a motorized watercraft (including sailboats with auxiliary motors) to successfully complete a state-approved boating safety course. In that 2005 tragedy, a 25-foot boat slammed into the Lieneck’s 24-foot boat — indeed, went over it and crashed down on it. The folks ... by Karl Grossman

Doing It

Lady bugs are doing very unladylike things. This jewel-like copulation takes place in a small tree. Out on a smooth, green limb, red, glistening bodies, casual soulmates, unhurried by time; the observer loses interest before they do. Spring is mainly the lovemaking act. And while you would not know this, listening to our selected leaders, take a walk and find a yellow butterfly to follow — up with your eye, into canopy and clouds. Find something in nature to follow instead. Snapping turtles are doing it, too. Mud-animated, these animals are unmolested in Sagg Pond — I mean, no one ... 29 Apr 2025 by Marilee Foster

Family Lost and Found

John Furness was 14 years old and a passenger on the Pelican almost 74 years ago. In a way, only now is he coming home. For readers not familiar with the Pelican tragedy, or my book “Dark Noon,” this year achieving its 20th anniversary, a little background: Sometimes you see a story and think it’s a good story. Less often, you see a story and think it’s a good story and you get to do something about it. In its edition of September 1, 2001, Newsday published a piece to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Pelican tragedy. It was ... by Tom Clavin

Finding a Balance

A two-page spread in the current issue of New York magazine is headlined: “Where Is Our Post-Car City?” The subhead: “We need to be building right now. Instead, we’re stuck in traffic.” The piece details many nonrealized ideas over the years to provide more means of mass transportation in the city. There have been many ideas on Long Island, too, to encourage public transit. A former presiding officer of the Suffolk County Legislature, Lou Howard, promoted for years a plan for a monorail running in the center of the Long Island Expressway. It didn’t get anywhere. And the cost to ... 28 Apr 2025 by Karl Grossman

Sagg Scene

For years, there hasn’t been much of a scene in Sagaponack. The Little Red Schoolhouse is delightful, and sometimes so is the Village Hall. An artist’s garden, a writer’s abode — much of the locations are private, or feel so. The name of this column even changed. In the duration by which the rural economy transformed from agricultural to housing, we also sustained a severe downward trend in Sagg’s year-round community. This change was sadly mirrored about a decade ago, when, after 120 years in business, the Sagaponack General Store became seasonal, too. There is a scene in Sagaponack now. ... 22 Apr 2025 by Marilee Foster

Failing To Plan Is Planning To Fail

An issue for decades, affordable housing for local residents on the South Fork, has reached crisis proportions. The crisis has accelerated in the wake of the pandemic. The value of real estate sales tripled between 2019 and 2021. High prices and low inventory has put housing beyond the reach of more and more local residents. The housing crisis is not unique to the South Fork — it is a national issue. Housing costs are part of an affordability problem that has upended politics across the nation. Middle class Americans who get up every morning and go to work in search ... 21 Apr 2025 by Fred Thiele
