The Dominy Shops Museum was presented with a historical marker in a ceremony on May 19. The marker will join several others throughout East Hampton Town that have been sponsored by the Pomeroy Foundation. In addition to the new historical marker, the brief ceremony will celebrate the reinstallation of the American Bicentennial plaque that was placed on the property almost 50 years ago to commemorate the Dominy Shops. In attendance were East Hampton Mayor Jerry Larsen, members of the East Hampton Village Board, Historical Society President Debbie Druker and additional members of the Board of Trustees, Town and Village Historian Hugh King, and Dominy Shops Project Director, Bob Hefner.

Scarlet Stalks

Rhubarb is a perennial; take good care of it, and you’ll have a bed for years. This patch is three years old, but the plants are older than that. We moved them from elsewhere, and before that they came as frozen roots from a nursery in New England. Food, even that which we cultivate in our backyard, ultimately comes from somewhere, or somewhere else, and there are backstories — families, cargo ships, conveyor belts and volcanic soils — in every bite. It’s been raining a lot this spring, and rhubarb enjoys the current conditions. Coolness keeps it robust, and “too ... 20 May 2025 by Marilee Foster

Mob Stories

Jeffrey Sussman of East Hampton, a prolific author — he’s now written 18(!) books — has been giving presentations at East End libraries about his newest, “Backbeat Gangsters: The Rise and Decline of the Mob in Rock Music.” It’s about Mafia involvement in the early days of rock ’n roll. Many of Sussman’s books are about the Mafia. He is recognized as a leading authority in the United States on Mafia activities here. His books include “Tinseltown Gangsters: The Rise and Decline of the Mob in Hollywood” (published in 2024); “Sin City Gangsters: The Rise and Decline of the Mob ... by Karl Grossman

Nomophobia

Do you panic when you can’t find your mobile phone, or worry about a low battery, or stress when there is no network coverage? Is your cellphone use interfering with sleep? Do you look at your phone screen when you are driving or at inappropriate times? If so, you are probably suffering from nomophobia, short for “no mobile phone phobia.” It is considered to be a behavioral addiction. I blame my mother for this addiction. Mothers always take the blame. It began innocently enough. After my divorce, she worried about my safety as a single woman, especially if I was ... by Denise Gray Meehan

Keeping the Public Trust

By Michael Anthony, Andrea Klausner, George Lynch, Barbara Weber-Floyd The public entrance to The Southampton Press informs visitors that good journalism exists here. The walls are festooned with award plaques signifying a long history of excellence in reporting the news, sharing opinions and otherwise keeping the community well-informed. Sometimes, though, a person of ill will takes advantage of the best, and that brings us all down. On May 8, The Press published “A Note From the Editor” acknowledging that the letter writer calling himself “Jose Reyes,” sometimes from Hampton Bays and sometimes from Southampton, is a fictitious person. After members ... 12 May 2025 by Michael Anthony, Andrea Klausner, George Lynch, Barbara Weber-Floyd

Miracle Space-Age Fabrics of the 1980s

I fractured my patella in March. I was skiing in Colorado. As I stood up from the chairlift, the top of my kneecap broke away. Crazy, right? We couldn’t figure out how it happened. One doctor thought my thigh muscles were so strong, they pulled the bone apart. Those millions of squats I’ve done in the past must have given me the quadriceps of 10 men. But can the quadriceps of 10 men break a bone? If so, are they strong enough to lift a car? Lifting a car would be bad-expletive. Since it happened at the top of the ... by Tracy Grathwohl

Going Nuclear

“Governor [Kathy] Hochul is making a major push to not only build new nuclear plants in New York State but to make New York the center of a nuclear revival in the U.S.,” declared Mark Dunlea, chair of the Green Education and Legal Fund, and long a leader on environmental issues in the state and nationally, in a recent email calling on support to “stop Hochul’s nuclear push.” Dunlea is author of the book “Putting Out the Planetary Fire: An Introduction to Climate Change and Advocacy.” An Albany Law School graduate, he co-founded both the New York Public Interest Research ... by Karl Grossman
