On August 15, The Concerned Citizens of Montauk showed their concern for ecology with a combined outdoor and indoor event...a kids beach cleanup and an art project. The first task was to gather discarded plastic litter items from the ocean beach behind the CCOM office into a custom CCOM canvas bag, followed by a creative art project at a communal table in the office, where the items were reused to make imaginative jars for the participants to take home.

Where Are We?

The convertible comes to a slow stop. The driver looks concerned, the passenger irritated. Her hand signals that I should stop too. I lean from my tractor seat to hear what they are hollering. People used to get lost. Desperate, late or enjoying the new sights, strangers would turn off Route 27. They’d wind through Wainscott and cross unknowingly into Sagg. Having originated from a point well west of here, they’d say, “Where are we? I mean, which way is the Montauk Highway?” They had heard about the Hamptons, but they had not bargained for the wasteland of potato fields ... 18 Jun 2025 by Marilee Foster

Verse vs. Versus

A couple of friends and I went out for Cuban food, and we decided to share our entrees. One friend chose the camarones enchilados, described on the menu as shrimp in a spicy creole sauce with wine. It was delicious — except the chef left the tail shells on the camarones. Ugh! I had to stick my fingers into the spicy creole sauce with wine, pick up the tail and bite into the shrimp in such a way as to pull all the meat out of the shell. It’s a method I’ve found to have only a 50 percent success ... by Tracy Grathwohl

The Rugged Properties of Remaining

“H and a half, H and a half … G is gone,” said one. “Right, and no more B, F, C and a half, either,” said another. They aren’t speaking in code. Patrons stood in the new post office and marveled at the old boxes. New, old boxes, new combos, some get keys. The Sagaponack Post Office has returned to its original location on Main Street, and the oldest customers approach with cautious zeal. They have memories: Capote’s seizure, Vonnegut’s cigarettes, artists who smelled of oil paintings, and farmers who sometimes came twice a day looking for promised payments.

The Money Around LIPA

The turmoil at the Long Island Power Authority continues. Among recent events: Newsday exposed how the Newark, New Jersey-based Public Service Enterprise Group, or PSEG, which Governor Andrew Cuomo arranged to run the Long Island Power Authority’s electric grid, has been contributing to the Suffolk County Democratic Party. The article last week was headlined “PSEG-Funded Donations Benefit Suffolk Dems.” It was written by Mark Harrington, who has done superb investigative reporting on PSEG. His piece began: “A political action committee funded by various PSEG entities, including PSEG Long Island [a subsidiary PSEG set up] and ‘PSEG LI Management Company’ has ... by Karl Grossman

Farm Alliances

It’s actually a bug-eat-bug world. Dogs might fight, but they rarely dine on each other. The final instar of the ladybug eats up to 200 aphids and merely burps. It’s also a bird-eat-bug world, and a bird-eat-bird world, and a bird-eat-seed world. Farming is one of the best places to watch these predatory but sustaining relationships. A certain and unavoidable amount of death must occur to generate life. This is why we welcome the barn swallows. We are grateful that they feed their young with pests our crops sometimes attract. We see the birds proximity to us as the result ... 3 Jun 2025 by Marilee Foster

A Disturbing History

The Long Island Power Authority has been in turmoil in recent months. LIPA was created by the New York State Legislature three decades ago following a grassroots effort led by Murray Barbash and Irving Like to establish a public power entity on Long Island to replace the private Long Island Lighting Company. They headed a group called Citizens To Replace LILCO. A model was a public power entity in California, the Sacramento Municipal Utility District, or SMUD. SMUD was set up, and continues today, as a democratically based public utility. It has a seven-member board of directors elected from the ... by Karl Grossman
