VIEWPOINT: WLNG Is a Hamptons Treasure

When I’m in my car in the morning on the way to Hampton Coffee, I switch on WLNG. I have hundreds of music choices in my car: Spotify, SiriusXM, with hundreds of channels of music, sports, news, and even my own created playlists. Yet, when I’m on the East End, I want my WLNG. In an era of robotic computerized digital music, WLNG is oddly fresh and modern. They do local better than anyone. I like to hear what’s happening in the community. It’s fun to listen to Sag Harborites selling used leaf blowers and fishing rods to those in ... 13 Oct 2025 by Edward Adler

VIEWPOINT: My Chance To ‘Be’ Diane Keaton

By Linda Euell Upon hearing about actress Diane Keaton’s recent passing, I felt like I lost a dear friend — one whom I had the honor of “imitating” for three magical movie days on a Water Mill beach. Back in 2003, I had the incredible experience of being Ms. Keaton’s stand-in during the filming of the “Something’s Gotta Give” scenes shot at Flying Point Beach in Water Mill, just a short distance from my home. One evening, several weeks later, after my husband and I went to a casting call in East Hampton with our daughters, I received a call ... by Linda Euell

On the Riviera

When September ends and daytime temperatures are still those of summer, my brother and I will tell each other how happy we are that we do not have potato acreage to put in storage. Here, our old barns were dug into the earth, true cellars, whose cooling capacity was wrought from clever and observant design, not refrigerant. These barns, like almost everything else, are too warm now. Farmers are not known for their nuanced language, and so “happy” is probably not the right word for it. Happy connotes joy. We are, plainly, merely relieved not to be fighting the weather ... 7 Oct 2025 by Marilee Foster

A Journaling Life

This summer, my garden faced tough challenges, between intense heat and sprinkler troubles. By October, the plants have given up, and so have I. This is the perfect time to take stock and plan for next year. Will I remember that the white bearded iris need to be divided and moved? Probably not. Among my many journals, I keep a garden notebook. I make a point of dating all my entries. That’s how I knew that the osmanthus, commonly known as false holly, planted across the front yard was not a fast grower as I was told. After five years ... 5 Oct 2025 by Denise Gray Meehan

Remembering a Legend

A celebration of the life of Jules Feiffer, the brilliant cartoonist, playwright and screenwriter who passed away at 95 in January, and lived and worked for decades on the East End, was just held at Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor. The event, “In Memory and Celebration” of Feiffer, included reflections by people who knew and loved him, with two musical performances and a multimedia presentation of photos and videos of Feiffer that included humorous comments by him. “For me, Jules will never be gone,” said his widow, Joan Holden, an author herself, writing under the name J.Z. Holden. Indeed, ... by Karl Grossman

Why I Miss Vermont

“What do you miss about Vermont?” It’s a question people often ask me when I moved back here after living and working in the Green Mountains for two decades. First, an explanation. This place has always been home, and the return to the South Fork wasn’t so much a decision as a process. My wife and I could have seen it all through up north. We loved it, raised our family there, built a life. But over a decade ago, we began spending more time here — drawn by family, a family home, an ailing elder. There was also, of ... 30 Sep 2025 by Biddle Duke

Hawks and Doves

The hawks hunt in pairs. One cruises the length of the field at shoulder height. The arrow metaphor is apt: It cuts through the air with incredibly fast, “straight as an arrow” flight. Its partner brings up the rear, flying a bit slower, on a parallel track but along the edge of the field. When hawk one reaches dove point — a patch in the field, or the edge of the pond, anywhere some seed eaters may have congregated — the hawk flushes its prey. Hawk two, flying at a slight distance, is in a better position to chase and ... by Joseph Shaw

Nazis Next Door

“Nazis of Long Island: Sedition, Espionage & the Plot Against America,” a book authored by Christopher Verga, a professor at Suffolk County Community College — he teaches the courses History of Long Island and Foundations of American History — was published last week by The History Press, a division of Arcadia Press. Arcadia describes itself as “the largest publisher of local and regional history and culture books in the United States.” The book’s cover features a photo of “a bungalow in Camp Siegfried,” a large swastika above its front door. Camp Siegfried was in the middle of Suffolk County, in ... 29 Sep 2025 by Karl Grossman
